OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G vs OPPO F21 Pro 5G: Specs Comparison

Apr 14, 2022

The OPPO F21 Pro series went official in India and the most advanced variant is the OPPO F21 Pro 5G, also known as the Reno7 Z 5G in certain Asian countries, while in Central and Eastern Europe it has just made its debut under the Reno7 Lite moniker. This handset is definitely a perfect rival for the OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G: the latest OnePlus mid-ranger which is actually available in the global market. Given that they belong to the same price range and they are pretty similar in terms of specifications, a lot of people want to know which device offers the best value for money. We hope that this comparison between OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G and OPPO F21 Pro 5G will help you to find it out.

OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G vs OPPO F21 Pro 5G

	OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G	OPPO F21 Pro 5G
DIMENSIONS AND WEIGHT	160.6 x 73.2 x 7.8 mm, 173 g	159.9 x 73.2 x 7.5 mm, 173 g

BATTERY	4500 mAh, fast charging 65W	4500 mAh, fast charging 33W
ADDITIONAL FEATURES	5G, dual SIM slot	5G, dual SIM slot

Design

I think that there is no challenge: the design of the OPPO F21 Pro 5G is more attractive. First of all, it is a thinner and lighter phone. Further, it has elegant flat borders around its punch-hole display. Last but not least, it comes with two RGB ring lights around the cameras that can be used as notification LEDs and charging progress indicators. The handset also comes with the IPX4 certification which makes it splash resistant. The design of the OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G is beautiful and original, but less impressive. The phone is thicker and heavier, but its front glass is protected by Gorilla Glass 5, so it should be more resistant.

Display

Both these phones are equipped with good AMOLED displays which are able to show brilliant colors as well as deep blacks. The diagonals of these displays are exactly the same: 6.43 inches, with a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels. The display of the OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G wins the comparison because it comes with a higher 90 Hz refresh rate and it sports the HDR10+ certification improving the image quality on streaming platforms. Last but not least, it has an in-display fingerprint reader, while the fingerprint reader of the OPPO F21 Pro 5G is side-mounted. The speakers are mono, but these phones are equipped with an audio jack.

Specs & Software

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 mobile platform found on the OPPO F21 Pro 5G and the MediaTek Dimensity 900 chipset found on the OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G are very close in terms of performance, but according to the benchmarks, the Dimensity 900 should be slightly more powerful. Given that the memory configurations are the same, the OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G wins the hardware comparison. But you should note an important design: this handset ships with Android 11, while its rival runs Android 12 customized by ColorOS 12 out of the box. So the OPPO F21 Pro 5G may get longer software support.

Camera

These phones are both equipped with the same 64 MP main camera, but the OPPO F21 Pro 5G has a brighter focal aperture which should allow for capturing brighter photos in the dark. On the other hand, unlike its opponent, the OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G adds an 8 MP ultrawide camera which is definitely more important than a brighter focal aperture for the main camera, at least if you need more versatility.

Battery

These two phones are equipped with a 4500 mAh battery and, given that the specifications are similar and the processors are built with the same production process, the battery life should be similar. The OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G charges quicker thanks to 65W fast charging.

Price

The starting price of the OPPO F21 Pro 5G in India is Rs. 26,999, which roughly translates into $354, while the OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G starts from Rs. 23,999 or $314. On the paper, the OnePlus mid-ranger looks superior because it has a better chipset, a 90 Hz display with the HDR10+ certification, an ultrawide camera, and 65W fast charging. Which one would you pick?

OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G vs OPPO F21 Pro 5G: PRO and CONS

POCO C40 will come with an unusual chipset and it’s not from Snapdragon, MediaTek, or UNISOC

By

Apr 14, 2022

Usually, POCO smartphones in the C-series are rebadged versions of the Redmi phones. The POCO C3 that launched last year was a rebrand of the Redmi 9C. The POCO C31 brought a similar design with tweaked specs. This year, we are expected to see the POCO C4 as the successor to the two aforementioned phones and it will likely be a rebadge of the Redmi 10C/Redmi 10. Now, however, a new phone called the POCO C40 has been reported by the folks at XDADevelopers, which appears to not follow the same old rebadge suit.

The upcoming POCO C40 first appeared on the FCC certification website with model number C3QP. To recall, the Redmi 10C carries a similar model number – C3Q. Having said that, the POCO C40 was believed to be just another rebadge. However, it seems that the C40 isn’t actually a rebadge.

One of the senior XDA members kacskrz reported that the POCO C40 will not use the Snapdragon 680 chipset of the Redmi 10C, nor will it have a MediaTek or UNISOC chipset. Instead, the C40 is said to pack an entry-level chipset called the JR510.

To those unaware, the JR510 is a chipset made by China’s JLQ technology. Currently, this chipset is powered by entry-level phones made by Treswave like the TW501, TW104, and TW502. Xiaomi choosing this chipset for its sub-brand’s POCO C40 will be an uncanny choice.

Moreover, the POCO C40 was spotted on the Geekbench database with the codename “frost”. However, the phone is yet to pass the test on the platform. In addition to this, kacskrz also spotted a mention of “MIUI GO”, hinting at a lite version of the MIUI software skin. As of now, it is unclear whether the MIUI GO will work on the Android Go OS or if it will just be a software skin for the regular Android OS.

As far as its availability is concerned, the smartphone is touted to be available in all markets including the European region. POCO C40’s other specifications and release date still remain a mystery.

The device features a punch-hole design while at the rear, there is a dual-camera setup arranged in a vertical module at the top left corner of the back panel. The display is protected by a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass 3.

As stated earlier, the Note 10T is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 480 chipset which confers on the device 5G connectivity. The phone is capable of mustering download speeds of up to 2.5 Gbps and upload speeds up to 660 Mbps. The chipset also comes with support for Wi-Fi 6 as well as Bluetooth 5.1. The chipset is paired with 4GB RAM while the base model has 64GB storage expandable via a microSD card slot.

For photography, the Redmi Note 10T 5G packs a 50 MP main camera teaming up with a 2MP depth sensor. The device crams a 5000 mAh battery under the hood and features support for 18W fast charging.

For interface, the Redmi model runs on MIUI 13 based on Android 11 primed to get Android 12 in the near future. As for the price, the Redmi Note 10T is priced at 34,800 JPY (~$276) for the 4GB + 64GB model. There may be other memory configurations but for now, this is the only available model on Xiaomi’s Japanese website. The phone is available in three hues – Black, green and blue.

Vivo’s next smartphone in the T-series will be the Vivo T1 Pro 5G. The device recently passed Geekbench revealing key details. Now, Onsitego has revealed the launch timeline of the device for the Indian market.

The Vivo T1 Pro 5G is tipped to launch in May in the Indian market. It means that we still have a few weeks until we see the phone on the shelves. We expect the device to arrive above Rs. 20,000 (~$262) range. Post launch, it is expected to compete with the subbrand’s iQOO Z6 Pro 5G.

To those unaware, the iQOO Z6 Pro 5G is set to arrive with the same chipset as the Vivo T1 Pro 5G i.e. the Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G SoC. We have already seen the T1 Pro 5G on Geekbench scoring 790 points in the single-core department and 2856 points in the multi-core department.

The phone will come with 8GB of RAM, which we expect will be the higher-end variant paired with 128GB or 256GB of storage. The phone could also come with a 6GB of RAM and 128GB variant as its base configuration. It will run on Android 12 OS out of the box with FunTouchOS on top of it.

Duovox Mate Pro night vision camera is capable of capturing full color in near pitch darkness

By

Apr 14, 2022

Duovox has unveiled the Mate Pro camera and it comes loaded with some impressive features. The new camera which is being crowdfunded via Kickstarter is capable of making full-color photos and videos even in total darkness.

The new Douvox Mate Pro camera is a compact camera that is built to replace traditional infra-red night vision devices that output in black and white colors. It is meant for nighttime adventurers, content creators, and any person willing to catch night beauty unfettered. It is capable of taking high-quality shots and videos of very low-light situations. An official specs sheet is lacking at this time but a pre-production sample was presented to PetaPixel.

The Mate Pro night vision camera has dimensions of 11.4cm x 7.6cm x 5.4cm for its width, depth, and height respectively. It has a fixed length, non-removable lens, and the camera is easily tucked away when not in use. A lens cap is however not present in the camera, calling for extra caution in its handling. The camera weighs about 216g and it is front-heavy due to the lens apparatus. A mini tripod is part of the package to provide a sturdy stand for the device. There are six buttons at the top of the Duovox Mate Pro including the power, shutter, and a few shortcut buttons.

The array of camera settings and menu for the Mate Pro can be assessed via its 3-inch touchscreen at the back of the camera. The right side of the camera has a USB-C port and microSD card slot that can accommodate up to a 512GB card. This offers several hours of video and tons of photos saved on the device. The Duovox Mate Pro camera has a 3,000mAh non-removable battery that offers several hours of video activity on a full charge. The settings of the Mate Pro camera contain loads of options and modes that make the device quite versatile.

The signature feature of the Duovox Mate Pro seems to be its night vision capabilities. Its SONY STARVIS 2 CMOS sensor helps to capture very low-light images and videos in full color. The seven-lens camera setup helps to deliver high-quality images and videos of different resolutions and combine them into a single photo. The infra-red filter helps to retain the color fidelity of the shots or videos.

While the original price of the Duovox Mate Pro night vision camera has been put at $1,200, the Kickstarter platform has seen the price reduced to $599 with the first deliveries expected in October 2022. It remains to be seen how the current specs will match the reality when the Mate Pro is released to the market in October. We expect Duovox to keep to the timeline barring any setbacks.
