Now, what appears to be a variant of the same phone with model number RMX3392 has appeared in the database of the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). According to popular tipster Mukul Sharma, the RMX3392 is expected to break cover in India as the Realme 9 Pro.

Probably, the RMX3392 model number belongs to the Indian variant of the Realme 9 Pro+. The BIS certification has no information on the specs of the device. It is speculated that the Realme phone with RMX3491 model number will debut in the market with the Realme 9i moniker.

A recent report claimed that Realme 9i’s global launch will be held in January 2022. As far as India is concerned, the company may hold two launch events for announcing the Realme 9i, Realme 9, Realme 9 Pro, and Realme 9 Pro+. The first one is likely to be held by the end of January. The other event is likely to be held in February.

Hopefully, the rumor mill will spill more information on the Realme 9 series of smartphones in the coming days. In related news, Realme is also planning to launch the Realme GT 2 Pro in multiple markets like China and India. It is expected to come with top-notch specs like a 6.51-inch AMOLED FHD+ 120Hz display, Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, OIS-enabled 50-megapixel triple cameras, and a 5,000mA battery with 125W fast charging.

Huawei’s upcoming foldable smartphone to have next-gen hinge with less complexity and more reliability

Nov 30, 2021

Huawei was among the first companies to launch a foldable smartphone in the market when it debuted two such devices in the market — Huawei Mate X and Mate Xs. This year, in February, the company launched the Mate X2 smartphone with an inward folding design, similar to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold series.

Now, the company is working on another foldable smartphone which is supposedly featuring a clamshell design, similar to the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip lineup. But this time, the company is charging the hinge design for the smartphone.

As per the report coming from Weibo, Huawei will be using a next-generation hinge from Zhaoli Technology which is being developed for quite some time now. The company has said that a smartphone manufacturer will be using this new hinge and it seems that Huawei is the only brand that makes sense for this development.

The new hinge is said to be less complicated when compared to the ones already used by Huawei. But the hinge is also more reliable than the ones used in the past and the added bonus is that because of fewer parts, it is also less expensive.

Some reports indicate that the upcoming clamshell foldable smartphone could be named Huawei Mate V but the name has not been confirmed yet. It is expected to get launched soon and could come powered by the Kirin 9000 chipset. Just like recent Huawei phones, it is likely to be a 4G-only model because of the US-imposed sanctions on the company.

Today, the tipster claimed that D7000 can handle Full HD+ resolution with up to 168Hz refresh rate or Quad HD+ resolution with up to 120Hz resolution. The SoC is also expected to carry support for LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 storage.

As far as performance is concerned, the tipster claimed that the Dimensity 7000’s benchmarking score on GFX ES 3.0 is similar to the Snapdragon 870. He added that the AnTuTu score of the Dimensity 7000 is even better. There is no word on the launch date of the SoC. While the Dimensity 9000 has been already announced, MediaTek will be holding a dedicated unveiling event for it on Dec. 16 in China. Probably, the company may unleash the Dimensity 7000 SoC through the same event.

OPPO Reno7 vs Xiaomi Civi: Specs Comparison

Nov 29, 2021

This year Xiaomi launched a new series of phones focused on design. The first model from the series is called Xiaomi Civi and it is definitely one of the most beautiful phones ever released. But the company clearly took inspiration from the latest OPPO devices in order to realize that astonishing finish for the glass back. Talking about OPPO, it just came up with another beautiful phone: the OPPO Reno7 5G, sporting a different design from its predecessor and very original design elements. Here is a comparison between two of the most beautiful phones in the whole market: the Xiaomi CIVI and the OPPO Reno7 5G

OPPO Reno7 5G vs Xiaomi CIVI

	OPPO Reno7 5G	Xiaomi CIVI
DIMENSIONS AND WEIGHT	156.8 x 72.1 x 7.6 mm, 185 g	158.3 x 71.5 x 7 mm, 166g
DISPLAY	6.43 inches, 1080 x 2400p (Full HD+), AMOLED	6.55 inches, 1080 x 2400p (Full HD+), OLED

BATTERY	4500 mAh, fast charging 60W	4500 mAh, fast charging 55W
ADDITIONAL FEATURES	Dual SIM slot, 5G	Dual SIM slot, 5G

Design

Both these phones come with a stunning design: which one to choose? It is mostly a matter of taste. The finish is similar: an opaque but brilliant glass back with a great microcrystalline finish changing color depending on the light angle. The OPPO Reno7 is more compact, while the Xiaomi Civi is bigger but also thinner and lighter. With a thickness of just 7 mm and a weight of 166 grams, the Xiaomi Civi is one of the thinnest and most lightweight phones of 2021. On the other hand, the OPPO Reno7 5G sports an amazing LED ring around the camera which can light up when you receive notifications. If you are nostalgic and you miss the notification LED, you will love it.

Display

One of the most important advantages of the Xiaomi Civi over the OPPO Reno7 is the presence of a superior display. First of all, the Xiaomi Civi has a wider panel, with a diagonal of 6.55 inches (against just 6.43 inches). It is an OLED display that shows up to one billion colors, it supports Dolby Vision, the HDR10+, and a refresh rate of 120 Hz. The OPPO Reno7 5G can only show 16M colors and it has a lower 90 Hz refresh rate. Further, it lacks Dolby Vision, so the image quality on streaming platforms will surely be inferior. Both the phones feature an in-display fingerprint reader, but the Xiaomi Civi is the only one with stereo speakers.

Hardware/Software

There are no significant differences between the hardware components of these two handsets, but there is one. Xiaomi Civi and OPPO Reno7 5G are powered by the Snapdragon 778G mobile platform running at a max frequency of 2.4 GHz and paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of native storage. The OPPO Reno7 5G has a slower UFS 2.1 storage, while the Xiaomi Civi has a faster UFS 2.2. native storage. Both the phones are based on Android 11, but the OPPO Reno7 5G runs ColorOS 12 out of the box with all the new features of the recently announced customization, while you do not get the MIUI 13 with the Xiaomi Civi.

Camera

The camera departments of the OPPO Reno7 5G and the Xiaomi Civi are almost the same: the phones pack a 64 MP main camera, an 8 MP ultrawide sensor, a 2 MP macro camera, and a 32 MP selfie snapper. On the paper, the only noticeable difference between these handsets is the focal aperture: it is brighter on the OPPO Reno7 with f/1.7, which means it may be better in low light conditions.

Battery

The battery capacity of these devices is the same: 4500 mAh. But the OPPO Reno7 should be able to provide a longer battery life because its display is more efficient. The OPPO Reno7 5G also features a faster technology to charge the battery, but the difference between the twos is just 5W: the Reno7 5G has 60W fast charging, while the Xiaomi Civi has 55W.

OPPO Reno7 5G vs Xiaomi CIVI: Price

The starting price of the Xiaomi Civi roughly translates into €380/$430 at the actual change, while the OPPO Reno7 5G starts from €360/$405. Overall, these phones are not very different, if we exclude the design. The Xiaomi Civi actually comes with a better display and stereo speakers: this is very important for multimedia lovers. The OPPO Reno7 5G offers that interesting LED light on the back, but for the rest, it is very similar to the Xiaomi Civi but with an inferior display and mono speaker. Which one would you pick?

BBK subsidiary Realme has officially confirmed the existence of the Realme GT 2 Pro. The company’s CEO Sky Li recently confirmed via a tweet that the company was working towards unveiling the smartphone which sits on the high-end segment of the market.

GT 2 Pro – that’s how we are going to name our first and most premium flagship phone. Always feel great to deliver something new and exciting to users worldwide. #realmeGT2Pro pic.twitter.com/ngX5VI409S

— Sky Li (@skyli_realme) November 29, 2021

The CEO calls the GT 2 Pro the brand’s first and most premium flagship phone. It is expected to start at over $800 (~Rs. 59,500). The device is expected to pack a host of premium features that will justify the price tag.

In a related development, renders of the Realme GT 2 Pro have also appeared online thanks to leakster @OnLeaks. The renders reveal the GT2 Pro will indeed be a sleek, premium device. The device is shown to have a horizontal module at the rear having a slight elevation like a hump.

The rear camera setup includes dual 50 MP sensors and an 8MP camera setup. The device is also expected to have a GR lens that should deliver the best shooting performance by reducing ghosting, multi-coating on all surfaces, and providing resistance against backlighting. The device is also expected to feature a 32MP front camera and a 5000mAh battery with 125W UltraDart charging.

The Realme GT 2 Pro is expected to pack a 6.8-inch 120Hz WQHD+ OLED display. The device was listed recently on AnTuTu showing it will be powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 (SM8450) processor backed by 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM, 256GB UFS 2.1 storage, 120Hz refresh rate screen, and Android 12.

We don’t expect Realme to unveil the premium flagship smartphone before 2022.

TECNO unveils innovative imaging technology, will allow users to take studio-quality photos

Nov 29, 2021

Earlier today, the China-based company TECNO unveiled some of its latest innovations and achievements in imaging technologies. These announcements occurred at the “Global Mobile Camera Trends 2022: Innovation talk” webinar hosted by the technology research firm Counterpoint.

With advances in dark complexion imaging aimed at users across key markets in Africa, India, and other regions, TECNO discussed recent achievements and breakthroughs regarding light sensitivity, image and video stabilization, zoom, and high-resolution – powered by technologies such as RGBW and G+P, Sensor-Shift and telescopic lenses. TECNO has promised some of these new technologies will be available in their 2022 product lineup. According to TECNO, these technologies will revolutionize a phone’s photographic capabilities and allow users to take studio-quality photos and videos without any professional skills.

So what are these breakthrough technologies TECNO talked about?

According to Jimmy Hsu, Senior Product Manager of image technology, TECNO has made significant progress in light sensitivity through a self-developed RGBW sub-pixel rendering algorithm that increases the light captured by the CMOS sensor by 60%. He added that Light intake would be further enhanced by 30% thanks to the G+P (glass + plastic) lens technology, resulting in an overall 200% increase and bringing a revolutionary low-light imaging experience to consumers.

TECNO also plans to release its Sensor-Shift technology in 2022, making it the first mobile phone brand with Android to do so. Sensor-Shift is an image stabilization technology that uses sensor movements instead of lens movements to compensate for vibrations. He also said that the control accuracy of TECNO’s Sensor-Shift will reach 350% of the current level with further algorithm optimization in the future.

The company is also working on a concept phone with a telescopic lens geared to launch in 2022. The lens provides advantages such as lossless zoom and a larger aperture. The company added that the “compressed back focal length (BFL) design with motorized stretchable lenses will significantly reduce the thickness of the phone, integrating consumer’ demands for simple appearance and high performance.”

Apart from TECNO, DXOMARK and Samsung also participated in the webinar with Samsung’s VP and Head of R&D, Pan Xuebaoshowing stating that through their Tetra and Nona technologies, Samsung is close to the point where smartphone brands can now deliver DSLR-grade photography in the hands of customers. Speed is also prioritized with ISOCELL bringing faster autofocus capabilities as well as a solution to the ever-increasing camera bump problem.
