AnTuTu has just revealed its top-performing flagship smartphones of August 2023 with the OnePlus Ace 2 Pro topping the list. We now bring you the top 10 best-performing mid-range smartphones of August according to AnTuTu.

Top 10 mid-range smartphones on AnTuTu for August 2023

AnTuTu top 10 mid-range Performance Scores August 2023 — AnTuTu Top 10 mid-range smartphones August 2023

Despite it being August, the Redmi Note 12 Turbo, which was introduced in March, continues to lead the mid-range AnTuTu performance rankings. It has achieved an impressive score of 1,148,376 points, just slightly ahead of the Realme GT Neo 5 SE, which sits in second place with 1,146,607 points. Notably, both of these smartphones are equipped with the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 SoC, making them the sole devices on the list featuring this processor.

Considering that these devices cross the 1 million point mark with starting prices around $250 (Note 12 Turbo) and $290 (GT Neo 5 SE), it makes customers hopeful about the future of the mid-range. Outside of China, Xiaomi sells the Redmi 12 Turbo as the Poco F5.

The third place goes to the iQOO Neo 7 SE equipped with the Dimensity 8200 chipset. It scores 949742 points, edging out the Vivo S17 Pro which is in fourth place with 944329 points. Other places in the list belong to devices like the Oppo Reno 10 Pro, Redmi Note 12T Pro, Redmi K60E, Xiaomi Civi 3, OnePlus Ace Racing, and OnePlus Ace. All of these devices are powered by the Dimensity 8200 and 8100 series chipsets.

At the moment, it appears that smartphones featuring the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 chipset hold a significant advantage over their mid-range counterparts utilizing MediaTek’s Dimensity processors. Nevertheless, there are speculations suggesting that MediaTek is in the process of developing the Dimensity 8300 chipset, which is said to incorporate a fresh Mali G52 MC6 GPU. It remains to be seen how the performance of this new chip will compare to the reigning mid-range leader, and we eagerly await the results.

Ultra HDR support coming to Google Photos with Android 14

By

Sep 3, 2023

Google announced at Google I/O in May 2023 that Android 14 would support Ultra HDR format for photos and videos. This format, which was introduced in Android 14 Beta 2, supports 10-bit HDR images and is said to be fully compatible with standard JPEG images. This means that Ultra HDR images can be displayed on both non-HDR and HDR screens. On non-HDR screens, the images will be displayed in SDR, but on HDR screens, the colors and contrast will pop.

Google is now reportedly testing Ultra HDR support for Google Photos, according to AssembleDebug. The evidence for this comes from a new build code version, v6.51.0.561138754, that was spotted in Google Photos in late August. AssembleDebug found the code version with a few strings pointing at Ultra HDR support for Google Photos.

HDR, or high dynamic range, provides better image and video quality than SDR, or standard dynamic range, by displaying a wider range of colors and brightness.

Smartphones these days have all the latest features, including cameras and displays that support HDR standards. This is why it’s great that UltraHDR is coming to Google Photos. UltraHDR will allow you to take full advantage of your phone’s camera and display, and it will also retain the JPEG format, so your photos will still look great on older devices.

Apparently, Google is working with chip giants like Qualcomm to optimize their SoCs for UltraHDR. They are also making UltraHDR the default format for uploading, backing up, editing, sharing, and downloading photos in Google Photos.

Sep 3, 2023

Samsung Galaxy S24 series is expected to be launched early next year, probably in January or February. One of the biggest highlights is the Galaxy S24 Ultra’s camera. The upcoming flagship will retain the 200MP camera found in the S23 Ultra but according to new rumors, there’s a twist.

S24 Ultra rumored to feature upgraded 200MP ISOCELL HP2SX sensor

Instead of using the old sensor, the S24 Ultra is rumored to feature a new 200MP ISOCELL HP2SX camera sensor. This upgraded sensor is superior to the previous one and can shoot 8K videos at 30fps. It also comes with advanced features like Super Quad Phase Detection autofocus and offers various modes for capturing photos in 12MP or 50MP resolutions. Leaked by tipster Ice Universe, this latest sensor boasts a 1/1.3-inch optical format and has a pixel size of 0.6µm.

Complementing the main camera, the device will have an enhanced 50MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom. This is expected to deliver 5x optical quality zoom, leveraging a larger sensor and in-sensor cropping. S24 Ultra is also rumored to retain the 12MP selfie, 12MP ultrawide, and 10MP telephoto cameras from its predecessor.

The Galaxy S24 Ultra is anticipated to feature a powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, along with RAM options of 12GB and 16GB. Storage options are expected to range from 256GB to 1TB. There’s also talk of a whopping 2TB variant.

The device is expected to sport a titanium frame, thicker bezels, a 5,000mAh battery with 45W fast charging, wireless charging, and the ability to charge other devices through reverse wireless charging.

S24 Ultra’s display is anticipated to be exceptionally bright, potentially exceeding 2200 nits brightness and even reaching up to 2800 nits. Additionally, Samsung is exploring battery technologies inspired by electric cars, which could result in faster charging speeds, possibly up to 65W.

Visionox demonstrates ultra-slim bezel display for Android phones

Sep 3, 2023

Visionox has reportedly showcased a new display with rounded corners and extra-thin bezels on at least three sides. The prototype panel also has an advanced refresh rate and dimming specs, and it saves power thanks to LTPO technology. The display is rumored to be used in the successor to an Android smartphone that is currently being displayed at IFA 2023.

Digital Chat Station has shared on Weibo, a Chinese micro-blogging platform, that the successor to the Honor 90 could have an even more eye-catching display with the new Visionox technology. This is because of the off-center dual punch-hole design that was shown in Visionox’s new concept device. The Honor 90 is also displayed at IFA 2023, which matches the rumored news.

Visionox showcased the display in action in a new prototype device with a dual-punch hole cutout on the front. And it reportedly uses “0.8mm BM black border” technology to shrink the borders to just 1.5mm thick, even at the corners. This is the same border size as the rumored iPhone 15 Pro or Pro Max.

The new panel is also rumored to support both DC-like and PWM dimming, with a dimming frequency of up to 3,840Hz. It also integrates LTPO technology for features such as an always-on display and has a 1.5K resolution.

Given this panel makes its way to Android smartphones, it could rival the Xiaomi 13 (or upcoming 14) in terms of border size. The Xiaomi 13 has a 1.61mm bezel, which is already one of the thinnest bezels on an Android smartphone.

WhatsApp’s email verification feature spotted again in the latest beta

Sep 3, 2023

WhatsApp, owned by Meta, has been actively introducing a series of awaited and innovative features, including those related to privacy. These additions have significantly enhanced the app’s security, making it more secure compared to the past year or two.

In the most recent update, accessible via the Google Play Beta Program as version 2.23.18.19, a feature is being developed to verify users’ email addresses. While this feature had been noticed earlier, details were limited due to its developmental stage.

WhatsApp’s Focus on Enhanced Security

According to WABetaInfo, a screenshot from this beta version reveals a developing email verification screen. While the exact functioning is unclear, it’s speculated that the feature might offer users an additional method to access their WhatsApp accounts by confirming their email.

The feature’s use could be vast. If you can’t log in because of SMS issues, or if you lose your phone or SIM card, or if you’re in a region where SMS isn’t dependable, this email verification can help. However, it’s optional. If users already use their Google account for chat backups or have two-step verification, their email might be auto-verified. Importantly, for privacy reasons, your email address won’t be shown to your WhatsApp contacts.

The email verification feature, which has been in development within the beta phase, is expected to roll out as a stable update in the future. Alongside this, WhatsApp is actively working on other improvements, such as hiding IP addresses during calls, introducing original quality photo and video sharing, and enhancing the calling interface in its latest beta update.

OnePlus Ace 2 Pro: Flagship Killer Overthrows Flagships in AnTuTu Performance Scores for August 2023

Sep 3, 2023

AnTuTu serves as a prevalent benchmark for gauging a smartphone’s comprehensive performance. This assessment covers various aspects, including the device’s CPU, GPU, RAM, Storage, and User Experience (UX). Even though there’s more to a smartphone than these things, if you’re a gamer or someone who wants a powerful phone, here are the top 10 best-performing Android phones in August 2023 according to AnTuTu.

Top 10 premium smartphones on AnTuTu for August 2023

AnTuTu top 10 Performance Scores August 2023 — AnTuTu Top 10 Performance Scores (August 2023)

With the recent release of the OnePlus Ace 2 Pro, the brand has claimed the title of the top-performing smartphone in August 2023, boasting an impressive score of 1,648,735 points. The kicker is that it isn’t actually a flagship smartphone, and is much more suited to be called a flagship killer (and our review team agrees). It starts at ¥2,999 (~$410), and the 24GB + 1TB model tested by AnTuTu costs ¥3,999 (~$550). The Ace 2 Pro is incredibly popular among Chinese customers, to the point where the brand is struggling to meet the high demand.

The real standout here is clearly the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, which is doing most of the hard work. What’s intriguing is that all the phones in the top 10 list are powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip, including the iQOO 11S, which is in second place with just a 3,342-point difference, achieving a score of 1,648,735 points. Following that, we have devices like the RedMagic 8S Pro+,iQOO 11, Vivo X90 Pro+, OnePlus 11, Realme GT5, iQOO 11, Vivo X Fold 2, and Oppo Find X6 Pro.

What’s interesting is that the recently launched Redmi K60 Ultra is nowhere to be found on this list. This device launched in August with the latest Dimensity 9200+ chipset, boasting a self-proclaimed AnTuTu score of 1,774,714 points. Maybe the device will be featured in the next month’s list. For the time being, you can check out our review of the Redmi K60 Ultra, where we have pitted it against the OnePlus Ace 2 Pro in every scenario including performance benchmarks.

Samsung’s OneUI Watch 5 Brings Google’s Watch Unlock Feature

Samsung has started rolling out the OneUI 5 Watch update to its Galaxy Watch 4 and Galaxy Watch 5. This update includes a number of new features and improvements. But one of the most interesting new features is support for the Watch Unlock feature.

The feature was first announced earlier this year as a part of Wear OS 4 and was demonstrated on the Pixel Watch. It works by automatically unlocking your phone when your unlocked smartwatch is nearby. This is similar to how the Apple Watch can unlock an iPhone.

With the Watch Unlock feature coming to OneUI 5 Watch, users can now unlock their smartphones without entering a PIN, password, or using biometric authentication, as long as they are wearing a Wear OS 4 smartwatch. This would be helpful for scenarios like when users are driving and wearing a helmet, or when their fingers are wet or dirty.

The feature was first discovered by Android enthusiast Mishaal Rahman for the Pixel Watch a few days ago. Ærmando later discovered the Watch Unlock feature (com.google.android.clockwork.active_unlock) in the One UI 5 Watch update.

One UI Watch 5 based on Android 13 is rolling out for the Galaxy Watch 5, and as I suspected, the build declares the https://t.co/izeCCqNhVF_unlock feature. Active Unlock is the name for the API underpinning the upcoming Watch Unlock feature.

Also, it’s important to note that, Watch Unlock is a more secure way to keep your phone unlocked than Trusted Devices. Unlike Trusted Devices, which only keep your phone unlocked for a certain period of time, Watch Unlock only unlocks your phone when your smartwatch is also unlocked. To use this feature, you need to set a PIN or password for your smartwatch.
