Nov 29, 2021

China Post Communications Equipment Co. Ltd., which produces and distributes telecommunications equipment and products, is gearing up to launch a new series of smartphones in its home country.

The company has today confirmed through its official Weibo account that the Hi Nova 9 series smartphones will be launched on 2nd December. The teaser poster shared by the firm shows the tagline “explore the unseen together” but has not revealed much.

China Post Communication Equipment Co. Ltd. has opened a Weibo account in August this year but had not posted anything for a long time. That changed when the account became active earlier this year and teased content like “Hi, Future, “Hi, World,” and “Hi Dream,” forming “Future World Dream,” whatever that means.

Now, it has been confirmed that the company is all set to launch the Hi Nova 9 series smartphones in the country which is likely to have two models — Hi Nova 9 and the Hi Nova 9 Pro, made by Huawei.

If the leaked images are to be believed, then the upcoming Hi Nova 9 series looks very similar to the Huawei Nova 9 series phones launched by the Chinese giant. The front panel has a screen with a punch-hole cutout for housing two camera sensors in the top-left corner and the device has a frosted glass cover.

The camera module on the back panel is also similar to what we’ve seen. Not just the design, but the color of the smartphone in the leaked image is the same as what Huawei is offering for the Nova 9. However, on the back panel, instead of the Huawei branding, it reads “Hi Nova,” indicating the phone to be a rebranded model.

While the company has not yet revealed more details related to these upcoming smartphones, we expect them to be similar to the Huawei Nova 9 lineup in terms of specifications and color options. To know more about the phones, including the pricing and availability details, we will have to wait for a few more days for the official launch.

Pixel 6 is the latest smartphone offering from Google that blends AI and machine learning with powerful hardware to bring an optimal user experience. Unlike the previous Pixel smartphones, the Search giant added an all-new Tensor SoC to uplift the performance and efficiency while offering a splendid experience. Google Pixel 6 is faring quite well against the other flagship smartphones in the market.

So we have compiled the Pixel 6 performance benchmarks to give you an overview of the smartphone’s prowess over other smartphones.

Performance benchmarks help to estimate the smartphone’s performance in normal usage and also rank the phone in performance order. The presence of the first-ever custom SoC from Google further excites us to check its actual performance.

The new Tensor SoC is purely designed to offer the blend of powerful AI and Machine learning aspects on a mobile chipset. Apart from the performance, the new SoC offers powerful GPU performance. It is built of ARM cores, while Google worked on its TPU and ISP aspects. There are hardly any official details on Google’s input in the chip i.e. the TPU and ISP. But benchmarks can give us an overview of the SoC’s capabilities.

Pixel 6 3DMark GPU benchmark

Pixel 6 GPU outperforms all the flagship SoCs including the Snapdragon 888. According to a Reddit user, the Pixel 6 scored 6666 points on 3DMark’s Wild Life Test.

Meanwhile, the Snapdragon 888 scored 5599 and the Exynos 21000 attained a score of 5668.

In 3DMark’s Wild Life Extreme test, the Google Tensor SoC scores 2028 while Snapdragon 888 and the Exynos 2100 stand at 1494 and 1793, respectively.

However, the performance across these benchmark apps confirms Google’s efforts are in a positive direction. It scores the highest average frame per second of 12.10.

Pixel 6 Pro AnTuTu

In AnTuTu benchmark, the Pixel 6 Pro attains 177890 points in CPU, 287342 in GPU, 99684 in MEM, and 144852 in UX with a total score of 709,768 points. Meanwhile, the Red Magic 6 with Snapdragon 888 with a dedicated cooling system scored a total of 858734.

Pixel 6 Pro Geekbench

Google Tensor SoC performs on par with the Exynos 2100 running on Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G. Pixel 6 scores 943 in single-core and 2558 in the multi-core test. On the other hand, the Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G scores 1001 points in single-core and 3150 in the multi-core test. However, the Snapdragon 888-based Mi 11T Pro performance scores only 770 points in single-core and 2063 in multi-core tests.

Pixel 6 Genshin Impact Test

Genshin Impact test provides real-world performance indicators for the SoCs. Pixel 6 Pro encasing the Tensor SOC scored as low as 30fps, and the average was at 32fps with 43.5°C. While gaming with fan, the fps jumps to 50 immediately. Tensor’s underwhelming performance brings it to the sub-premium chipset level.

On the other hand, the Snapdragon 888 averages at 42fps.

Pixel 6 GeekBench ML

Based upon the test of both the CPU and GPU, the Pixel 6 scored 1700+ points which is better than Red Magic 6S Pro and S21 Ultra standing scoring below 1700. Google Tensor looks to be a massive improvement, with the fastest NNAPI performance across the competition.

PC Mark Android

In another benchmark test the Pixel 6 series seems to underperform than the snapdragon 888 based Galaxy S21 Ultra, RedMagic 6S Pro, and Snapdragon Insider Phone. We can see a performance difference of up to 37% with Snapdragon flagship SoC.

Conclusion

Pixel 6 seems to be a major performance upgrade over its predecessor. In terms of efficiency and performance, the Google Tensor SoC outperforms Snapdragon 888 in some aspects like AI, but improvement can be made for an overall better output in all the fields.

Nov 29, 2021

Xiaomi is expected to debut its next generation of premium smartphones starting in December. These new devices were anticipated to run Android 12. But it looks like some of them will be left out. However, they will boot the yet-to-be-announced MIUI 13.

According to reports by Xiaomiui, the alleged Xiaomi 12X and Redmi K50 will ship with Android 11 instead of Android 12. Anyway, though they will come with a year-old Android version, they will be still released with the upcoming MIUI 13.

The source suggests that the chipset, which will power the handsets, is the reason for an older version of Android. These devices codenamed Pschye and Poussin are said to feature a Qualcomm SM8250-based silicon. The exact name of the chip is rumored to be Snapdragon 870+.

Since all the previous SM8250-based phones came out with Android 11, Xiaomi appears to be doing the same with these forthcoming handsets. By doing so, the company will not have to develop an additional version of Android for these smartphones after Android 12.

Having said that, the reason stated here is merely an assumption. However, the phones will most likely launch with MIUI 13 based on Android 11 as their software builds are already in the testing phase.

As far as other details are concerned, the Xiaomi 12X (Psyche) is expected to be the long-rumored mini smartphone with a 6.28-inch display and a 50MP Samsung ISOCELL GN5 primary camera. On the other hand, the Redmi K50 (Poussin) will be similar to the Redmi K40 with a 48MP Sony IMX582 main camera.

A smartwatch that offers blood pressure monitoring could be a game-changer in the monitoring of human blood pressure. It is bound to provide a trove of real-time data that could drive new research into understanding the phenomenon.

There are only a few smart wearables that offer blood pressure monitoring due to the complexities involved in providing accurate and reliable blood pressure readings. In support of the rumored impending release of the Watch D with blood pressure monitoring, Huawei recently got certification for a wearable device that monitors blood pressure.
The alleged promo images of the Huawei Watch D were posted on Weibo and the images show a device that bears little semblance to previous Huawei wearables. The Watch D sports a rectangular design with a rectangular display and two buttons on the right-hand side of the smartwatch.

It is unclear the level of progress that Huawei had made in getting the necessary certifications for the Watch D outside China. The pricing detail for the Huawei Watch D is also not yet known. There has been no reaction from Huawei on the leaked details of the Watch 5 at this time.
