Realme Pad X vs Xiaomi Pad 5: Specs Comparison

Currently, Realme has enough tablets to compete from the entry-level segment to the midrange one. It still lacks a flagship tablet, but there are already three affordable devices in its portfolio. If we talk about Chinese Android tablets, its biggest competitor is Xiaomi, with more or less the same amount of last-generation tablets. That is the reason why a lot of people are wondering which tablet to buy between Realme and Xiaomi. Realme’s highest-end tablet is the Realme Pad X, packing midrange-class specifications. It is sold in the same price range as Xiaomi’s most affordable last-generation tablet: the Xiaomi Pad 5. This is a comparison between the main specifications of the Realme Pad X and the Xiaomi Pad 5 which will highlight the differences between these two tablets and let you understand which one has the highest value for money.

Realme Pad X vs Xiaomi Pad 5

DIMENSIONS AND WEIGHT 7.1 mm, 499 grams 254.7 x 166.3 x 6.9 mm, 511 g

8 MP f/2.0 front camera
BATTERY 8340 mAh, fast charging 33W 8720 mAh, fast charging 33W
ADDITIONAL FEATURES Stylus support, keyboard support Pen support, keyboard support

Design

The design of the Xiaomi Pad 5 is slightly more interesting than the one of the Realme Pad X. Unlike its opponent in this comparison, it is built with an aluminum frame and a plastic back, while the Pad X is built with a plastic frame and a plastic back, so cheaper materials. Further, the Xiaomi tablet is thinner, with a thickness of just 6.9 mm. In terms of weight, the Realme one is lighter, but given that its materials are cheaper, the Pad 5 wins the design comparison. Both the tablets feature a very high screen to body ratio, with the display covering more than 80 percent of the front panel. These tablets support a stylus for handwriting and drawing, as well as a keyboard to transform them into mini laptops. That is why they are suitable for productivity and studying.

 

Display

If you are looking for the best display, then you should opt for the Xiaomi Pad 5. It has an 11-inch panel with IPS LCD technology. This display is able to show up to one billion colors with a Quad HD+ resolution of 1600 x 2560 pixels, a 120 Hz refresh rate, the HDR10 certification, and Dolby Vision support. The Realme Pad X has an IPS LCD display with a diagonal of 10.95 inches and a Full HD+ resolution of 1200 x 2000 pixels: as you can notice, the resolution is lower and even the refresh rate. So there is no challenge. However, none of these tablets has an advanced display: given that they are two IPS panels, you cannot expect the vibrant color and the deep blacks of an AMOLED display, but you get less impressive colors. Both the devices come with four stereo speakers but they do not feature a fingerprint reader.

 

Specs & Software

If you are looking for the best performance, then the Xiaomi Pad 5 wins this comparison because it has a superior chipset. We are talking about a Snapdragon 860 mobile platform by Qualcomm built with a 7 nm production process and with an octa-core architecture. It is composed of a Kryo 485 CPU running at a max frequency of 2.96 GHz, three Kryo 485 CPUs with a 2.42 GHz frequency, and four Kryo 485 CPUs running at 1.78 GHz, as well as an Adreno 640 GPU. The SoC is paired with 6 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of native storage. The Realme Pad X is equipped with a Snapdragon 695 5G chipset paired with up to 6 GB of RAM and up to 128 GB of internal storage: an inferior chipset and less storage. But it brings two important advantages: the optional 4G LTE connectivity thanks to a SIM slot, and the expandable storage through a micro SD slot. Both the tablets run a customized Android version based on Android 11.

 

Camera

The Xiaomi Pad 5 and the Realme Pad X are equipped with a single camera on the rear sporting a 13 MP resolution. The Xiaomi Pad 5 wins the camera comparison because this camera has a brighter f/2.0 focal aperture and it is able to record 4K videos at 30 fps, while the Realme has an f/2.2 focal aperture and it only records 1080p videos. On the other hand, the Pad X has a better front camera: an 8 MP snapper with a FOV of 105 degrees and an f/2.0 focal aperture. Unfortunately, all the cameras belong to the entry-level segment, so you should not expect amazing performances.

 

Battery

The Xiaomi Pad 5 is equipped with a bigger battery: the capacity is 8720 mAh and the battery supports 33W fast charging. This tablet provides longer battery life than the Realme Pad X because the latter has a smaller 8340 mAh, while the charging speeds are more or less the same as this device carries the support to 33W fast charging too.

 

Price

If you want to buy the Realme Pad X, you need to pay at least $256/€250 for the base variant with 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal storage, while the Xiaomi Pad 5 starts from $360/€350 in the Chinese market, but it is available at lower street prices because it hitten the shelves a year ago. The Xiaomi Pad 5 wins this comparison due to its better display and chipset.

Nothing Phone (1) cannot achieve advertised 1200 nits brightness, Company explains why

The much-hyped Nothing Phone (1) debuted last month and since then the smartphone has been surrounded by a bunch of controversies. We have already seen numerous reports highlighting manufacturing defects in the phone. Now, a new issue related to the display of the smartphone is making headlines.

Nothing Phone (1) was launched with a 6.55-inch full-HD+OLED display that was claimed to reach a maximum brightness of 1200 nits. However, a ComputerBase report reveals that the Phone (1) can reach only up to 700 nits. The publication even tried to recreate very specific situations that might have been able to trigger the phone’s automatic brightness to reach up to the advertised amount but it still couldn’t get more than 700 nits brightness.

Other sites such as GSMArena and Heise have also confirmed that the Phone (1) is indeed not as bright as advertised.

ComputerBase contacted Nothing regarding this issue and was told that “the peak values ​​are around 700 nits for brightness. Nothing will adjust this in the future.” The publication claims that Nothing has also reduced the advertised brightness on its official website.

Nothing Phone (1) brightness

A report by XDA got a response from Nothing. The company states that “the hardware is capable of reaching up to 1,200 nits peak brightness, but this is currently capped by the software to 700 nits. This decision was made to ensure a balanced user experience regarding heat and battery consumption. We look forward to hearing from our users about this and will monitor feedback closely to understand if this should be addressed in future software updates.”

Judging from the statement, it seems unlikely that the company will increase the brightness to 1200nits. However, it may roll out an update to do so if the customers demand.

As for the benchmarking scores, the smartphone has scored 339 in single-core performance and 1220 in multi-core performance.

Previous leaks and rumors suggest the Vivo Y22 will sport a 6.44-inch HD+ LCD display that refreshes at 60Hz. It may pack an 8MP shooter for selfies and video calls. The device is said to be fueled by a 5,000mAh battery that supports 18W fast charging. It also likely to come with a side-mounted fingerprint sensor and face unlock for security.

However, these are just speculations and the company is yet to confirm any details about the upcoming smartphone. We hope to learn more details about the device in the coming days.

Moto Razr 2022 teardown video reveals improvements on the hinge

A teardown video has surfaced showing how the Moto Razr 2022 has an improved hinge design from its predecessor, the Razr 5G. The Razr 2022 sports a fixed display at both ends while it folds the middle in a teardrop shape. The Moto Razr 2022 looks more exquisite without the chin.Moto Razr 2022

The teardown video of the Razr 2022 came from WekiHome. The folding mechanism of both the Razr 5G and the Razr 2022 were examined in the video. The newer model has thin metal strips in the middle which help to secure the display from the folding pressure. This has resulted in a significantly smaller crease area in the Moto Razr 2022 than its predecessor.

The teardown video also shows the split-battery setup in the Razr 2022. It has a 712mAh battery in the top half while a 2,788mAh battery sits on the bottom half. The two batteries output 2.8Wh and 10.9Wh respectively. The cooling mechanisms of the device consist of a thermal paste, a copper block, and copper sheets. The Razr 2022 is powered by the top-end Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset and lacks a vapor chamber. The improved hinge design of the Moto Razr 2022 raises the stakes for the possibility of a global rollout.Moto Razr 2022

At the moment, Motorola has restricted the Razr 2022 to the Chinese market. Inside sources have already speculated that the new model will follow the trajectory of the Razr 5G which also entered the global market.

Apple expects to sustain iPhone 14 sales, asks suppliers to make 90 million units

Apple has asked its suppliers to make 90 million iPhone 14 units. The Cupertino-based tech giant plans to make roughly about 220 million iPhones in total in 2022 which is the same as last year. The latest information comes from the publication Bloomberg who cites people familiar with the matter. Apple is counting on demand from affluent customers and lesser competition in the smartphone market due to the global economic slowdown. 

As per IDC forecast, the global smartphone market is expected to shrink 3.5 percent in 2022 after the market slid to 9 percent in the June quarter this year. Apple’s projections suggest that it is confident of weathering the storm. Huawei’s disappointing performance has weakened the competition in the premium smartphone segment. Additionally, shipments of Android phones are also going down. 

Till 2021, Apple kept the sales figures of new iPhones at roughly 75 million units. Last year, it upgraded its target to 90 million units in anticipation of the increased demand due to COVD-19’s decline. Bloomberg reports that the percentage rise in iPhone sales will continue to be in the ‘single digits’ throughout the short to medium term. 

Apple is expected to unveil four iPhone 14 models next month. The Pro variants will reportedly come with a new design on the front, an improved selfie camera, a new rear camera, and a faster A16 processor.
