Honor X40i officially announced in China with Space-inspired Design

Last year, in October, Honor launched a lightweight and thin smartphone, dubbed the Honor X30i. The handset debuted with an affordable price tag and decent features. Now, the Chinese company is gearing up to launch the successor of the X30i in the form of the Honor X40i. Details about the upcoming smartphone are pretty short. However, some leaks and renders do give us a whiff of its specifications.

in a Weibo post, Jiang Hairong, CMO of Honor Terminal Co. Ltd, officially announced the new Honor X40i phone Hairong stated that the phone would be launched soon and also shared three teaser posters of the smartphone.

The posters have a space theme, and one of them has “Cosmic Romance” written on it. This suggests that the smartphone may come with a space-inspired design. Previous renders of the smartphone combined with the teaser posters signal that the Honor X40i will have a right-angle frame design and a straight screen. The overall design of the smartphone could have a boxy appearance like its predecessor.

Talking about the specifications, the smartphone is expected to feature dual rear cameras on the rear, consisting of a 50-megapixel primary camera followed by a 2-megapixel sensor. Its camera module is very different, the two cameras on the rear form a ring-intersection design.

To recall, the Honor X30i 5G was launched with a Dimensity 810 chip. It features a 6.7-inch LCD offering a 2388×1080 resolution and a 93.6% screen-to-body ratio. The smartphone carries support for a 90Hz refresh rate. It has a 4000mAh battery that supports 22.5W fast charge, GPU Turbo X, and Link Turbo X technologies. In terms of optics, the device houses triple rear cameras, with a 48MP main camera, a 2MP depth sensor, and a 2MP macro lens. It supports super night  shooting and has an intelligent multi-frame synthesis algorithm.

POCO F4 vs POCO F4 GT vs POCO F3: Specs Comparison

The POCO brand by Xiaomi had a huge success in the global market thanks to its flagship killer, and it is currently the most interesting competitor of Realme. The F series is the lineup including the most advanced phones from this brand and it recently expanded with two new handsets: the POCO F4 and the POCO F4 GT. The former is more focused on the quality price ratio, while the latter is currently the best device ever released by POCO. However, there is another handset still offering an outstanding value for money: the predecessor POCO F3. So which POCO should you buy with their actual prices? This is a comparison between the specifications of the POCO F4, the POCO F4 GT, and the POCO F3 which will let you find out.

Design

These phones are not focused on elegance, but, given that they are meant especially for gamers, young people, and power users, they come with aggressive designs. The most aggressive is the POCO F4 GT, clearly gaming-centric, which also includes two amazing physical magnetic pop-up triggers on the right side. The POCO F4 is the soberest one as it does not come with weird textures and it offers a classic glass back with a single color. Note that the POCO F4 GT is the most premium device in terms of materials because it comes with a glass back and an aluminum frame, while its internal rivals are equipped with a glass back and a plastic frame. On the other hand, the POCO F4 and the POCO F3 have the IP53 certification making them dust resistant and splash resistant.

 

Display

The displays of these three phones are not so far from each other in terms of specifications, but the POCO F4 GT wins the comparison because it is able to show up to one billion colors on its AMOLED panels. For the rest, these displays are pretty much the same: they are AMOLED panels with a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels, a diagonal of 6.67 inches, the HDR10+ certification, and a 120 Hz refresh rate. Even though they come with AMOLED displays, all of them have side-mounted fingerprint readers, but they also come with great stereo speakers. Unfortunately, there is no 3.5 mm audio jack.

 

Specs & Software

If you are looking for the phone with the highest performance, then go for the POCO F4 GT without thinking twice. It has one of the best processors in the whole Android world, something you can usually find only in the highest-end segment of the market. We are talking about the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, the flagship SoC released by Qualcomm for 2022. It is built at 4 nm and it runs at a max frequency of 3 GHz, with an octa-core architecture composed of one Cortex X2 CPU, three Cortex A710 CPUs, four Cortex A510 CPUs, and an Adreno 650 GPU. The SoC is paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage. Both the POCO F4 and the POCO F3 come with a Snapdragon 870 mobile platform, but on the F3, you get only 8 GB of RAM, while the F4 goes up to 12 GB. The POCO F4 and the POCO F4 GT run Android 12 out of the box, while the F3 ships with Android 11 because it is a device from 2021.

 

Camera

The POCO F4 and the POCO F4 GT come with the same camera department and, despite we are talking about high-end phones, they can only be considered midrange camera phones. They are equipped with a 64 MP main sensor, an 8 MP ultrawide lens, a 2 MP macro camera, and a 20 MP selfie snapper. You get exactly the same sensors on the POCO F3 with the exception of the main camera: on the F3, there is an inferior 48 MP main sensor.

 

 

Battery

The POCO F4 GT provides a longer battery life because it has a bigger battery, while the POCO F4 and the F3 should offer a very similar battery life because they have similar components and more or less the same battery capacity. The GT supports 120W fast charging, the vanilla F4 stops at 67W, and the F3 supports 33W fast charging.

 

Price

You can currently find the POCO F4 for €349/$355 thanks to online street prices, the POCO F4 GT is priced at €699/$710 in its base variant, and the street prices of the POCO F3 hitten the €200/$205 threshold. The GT variant wins this comparison, but the F3 is the handset offering the best value for money and it has almost the same specifications as the F4.

Now, the company’s official TikTok account has unveiled key features of the smartphone via short clips. The clips have revealed that the Phone (1)’s display panel will feature support for a 120Hz refresh rate and will have an in-display fingerprint reader. We know from previous leaks that the smartphone will be positioned as a mid-range device and will also be priced aggressively in key markets like India.

The absence of an in-display fingerprint scanner can be a deal-breaker for many customers looking for a decent mid-range device. So, Nothing has made its smartphone a lot more appealing by including this feature. Other than that, this video also clears up the rumors surrounding the device, which state that the Phone (1) will only have a 90Hz display.

So far, rumors regarding the Nothing Phone (1) state that it will have a 6.55-inch OLED display. It will have a punch-hole cutout at the top left for the selfie camera and will feature even-sized bezels going around the display.

BOE reportedly certified by Apple to supply iPhone 14 OLED screens

There have been speculations that Apple will not use BOE as a supplier for the upcoming iPhone 14 OLED screen. However, a recent report from China says that the Chinese company is set to begin mass production of the iPhone 14 screens for Apple. BOE’s status as a supplier for the iPhone 14 OLEDs recently came under scrutiny due to design changes observed in the iPhone 13. BOE had been accused of unilaterally changing some design elements in the panel.boe display

BOE’s display panels for the iPhone 14 were reportedly certified by Apple last week. This paves the way for the company to deliver its supply target by starting production this month. While mass production commences by July ending, shipment of the panels will begin by September. September is a traditionally busy month for Apple when it usually announces its new iPhones.

BOE is expected to deliver up to 5 million iPhone 14 display panels which are about 5.6% of the 90 million units Apple requires. Samsung has the bulk of the supply order with 60 million units (~67%). BOE will only supply the 6.1-inch LTPS OLED panels for the iPhone 14 vanilla model. It is unclear what is the distribution of panels according to the different models in the iPhone 14 lineup. If the news is confirmed, then BOE will be offering such a service to Apple for the third time after delivering on the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13. Neither BOE nor Apple has provided any details yet on the matter at this time.
