Design

If you look at the camera module, you can immediately realize that the POCO M3 Pro 5G has the most original design of the trio. The handset looks very attractive and youth to be just an entry-level, especially if you look at the POCO Yellow color variant. The Vivo Y52 5G is a bit more elegant and sober, but with bigger dimensions. With the Motorola Moto G50, you get a water-repellent design which is very useful if you want to use your phone in the rain. While POCO M3 Pro 5G and Vivo Y52 5G have a side-mounted fingerprint reader, while the Motorola Moto G50 has a rear-mounted one.

Display

The most advanced display belongs to the POCO M3 Pro 5G. It is a 6.5-inch panel with a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels and a refresh rate of 90 Hz. It also offers the Gorilla Glass 3 protection by Corning. With the Vivo Y52 5G, you get a display with a Full HD+ resolution as well, but it lacks a high refresh rate. The Motorola Moto G50 has an inferior HD+ display, but it has a 90 Hz refresh rate. You should have understood the reason why POCO M3 Pro 5G is the best.

Hardware/Software

POCO M3 Pro 5G and Vivo Y52 5G are more powerful than the Motorola Moto G50 because they pack a Dimensity 700 processor built at 7 nm with better performance than Snapdragon 480 and even lower energy consumption. Between POCO M3 Pro 5G and Vivo Y52 5G, the former is the winner because it offers up to 6 GB of RAM and UFS 2.2 internal storage. Each of these phones runs Android 11 out of the box despite they are entry-level devices.

Camera

The best cameras are found on the Motorola Moto G50. It has a triple camera including a 48 MP main sensor with a brighter f/1.7 focal aperture, a 2 MP depth sensor, and a superior macro camera with a 5 MP resolution. The Motorola Moto G50 even provides a better front camera with a 13 MP resolution. Both POCO M3 Pro 5G and Vivo Y52 5G pack a triple camera with a 48 MP main sensor, a 2 MP macro camera, and a 2 MP depth sensor, as well as an 8 MP front camera.

Battery

POCO M3 Pro 5G, Vivo Y52 5G, and Motorola Moto G50 have a similar battery life because they come with the same battery capacity: 5000 mAh. But the Motorola Moto G50 should last a bit more because its display has a lower resolution.

Xiaomi POCO M3 Pro vs Vivo Y52 5G vs Motorola Moto G50: Price

POCO M3 Pro 5G hitten the European market with a starting price of €159/$194, Motorola Moto G50 starts from €279/$340, we still do not know the price of the Vivo Y52 5G. Despite Motorola Moto G50 has better cameras, the POCO M3 Pro 5G wins the overall comparison because of its better display and higher value for money.

May 24, 2021

Last year, iQOO, the sub-brand of vivo made its debut in India with the iQOO 3 series. A year later, the company launched its next devices in the form of iQOO 7 and iQOO 7 Legend in late April. Now, according to a tip, the brand will be soon introducing its first budget smartphone in the country.

iQOO started as a sub-brand of vivo for affordable flagship smartphones. However, with growing competition, the company ventured into the mid-range and the budget categories. But these phones still remain exclusive to China.

Thankfully, that’s going to change, as per Mukul Sharma, a popular Indian tech influencer on Twitter. According to him, iQOO will be launching its Z series (mid-range smartphone lineup) in India in mid-June. He also mentions that this series will be exclusive to Amazon India, just like the iQOO 7 series.

Unfortunately, Sharma does not say the name of the phone. Neither he reveals the number of devices launching since he uses the word ‘series’.

Going by a recent report, one of these handsets could be iQOO Z3. This device has been registered on the Indian IMEI database.

The iQOO Z3 has features like Qualcomm Snapdragon 768G, LPDDR4X RAM, UFS 2.2 storage, 6.58-inch FHD+ 120Hz display (LCD), 64MP (wide) + 8MP (ultra-wide) + 2MP (macro) triple camera setup, 16MP selfie camera, side-mounted fingerprint sensor, 3.5mm headphone jack, Android 11, 4,400mAh battery, and 55W fast charging.

May 24, 2021

After weeks of waiting and multiple name changes, the device known as the Galaxy Tab S7+ Lite has now been quietly unveiled in Germany as the Galaxy Tab S7 FE 5G. Yes, Samsung is adopting the FE name for devices other than smartphones. The new tablet cuts some corners when compared to the Galaxy Tab S7 Plus and Galaxy Tab S7 but ends up being pricier than the vanilla Tab S7.

The display is 12.4-inches in size with a 2560 x 1600 resolution but it is an LCD panel. Powering the Galaxy Tab S7 FE is a Snapdragon 750G processor paired with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of expandable storage. It has been reported that there should be a 6GB RAM + 128GB version too.

There is an 8MP autofocus camera on the back of the device that slightly protrudes` while there is a 5MP front-facing camera in front for video calls. There are three built-in microphones to make sure your voice is picked up clearly during calls. Inside the tablet is a 10090mAh battery inside with support for 45W fast charging but you will have to purchase a 45W adapter separately. Samsung claims up to 13 hours of battery life for video playback.

The Galaxy Tab S7 FE comes with an S Pen included in the box. The low-latency pen has a soft tip and is said to feel like a real pen when writing with it. It converts your handwriting into text in real-time and charges automatically when placed on the magnetic part on the back panel.

1 of 4

The tablet supports Samsung DeX which when turned on provides users with a desktop-like environment with a start menu and a taskbar. With an optional keyboard cover, you can transform the Galaxy Tab into a small notebook. In normal tablet mode, the Galaxy Tab S7 FE supports up to 3 apps split-screen multitasking.

Samsung has put a price tag of €649 on this version of the tablet which is pretty expensive considering the Galaxy Tab S7 with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage and a more powerful processor is priced at €619. It is already available for purchase in Mystic Black and Mystic Silver with more colors to come later.

May 24, 2021

Realme last month released a teaser pointing to the launch of the Realme Smart TV 4K 43″ in India in May. Just when the month is about to come to an end, the Chinese tech giant has released another teaser poster showing that the smart TV will be launched on May 31.

The Realme smart 4K TV comes well kitted as a truly smart home appliance that guarantees a true 4K cinematic experience for viewers. Both models come with Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos technology to give an excellent viewing experience. The company has also announced two sizes of the smart TV 4K (50-inch and 43-inch versions).

Some of the early visuals show that the smart TV 4K will have Voice Assistant compatibility as well as a slim and beautiful exterior. The Realme smart TV 4K packs lots of power and performance. We expect a strong processor and memory (both system and internal memory) and innovative graphics and audio outputs. The sound output of the new gadget is bound to be several notches above the earlier models. The 50-inch model is a new entrant, while the 43-inch version is an improvement of last year’s model.

More specific details about the two models will become available as we inch towards the launch date next week. We will also get to know the pricing details of the Realme smart 4K TVs as we move closer to the release date next week. Realme will also be unveiling the Realme X7 Max 5G smartphone on the same day.

The Realme Smart TV 32-inch and 43-inch models were launched in India last year along with the Smart TV SLED 4K 55″ TV. These new models are likely to have several improvements, one of which is the teased 4K resolution.

Chinese startup Pony.ai gets the nod to start testing its driverless vehicles in California

By

Jed John Ikoba

-

May 24, 2021

The US state of California has granted permission to Chinese firm Pony.ai to carry out a pilot run of its driverless vehicles in three cities in the state. Six Pony’s autonomous vehicles will be allowed without a safety driver at the wheels in Fremont, Milpitas, and Irvine, within designated roads in these cities.

The permit was issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles, which is the statutory regulator for issues relating to autonomous vehicle testing on public roads. The new permit is an extension of the earlier permit already granted to Pony.ai since 2017 when it started testing autonomous vehicles with a safety driver behind the wheel in California. The vehicles will operate on roads with speed limits below 45 miles per hour, and testing will commence first in Fremont and Milpitas on weekdays between 10 am and 3 pm, while the city of Irvine will follow suit later.

Some stringent conditions must be met before companies are granted these permits, and any collisions or crashes involving these driverless vehicles must be reported to the regulator within 10 days. In addition, the company will submit an annual report of disengagements to the Department of Motor Vehicles before re-issuance of the permit. There is also the tiny requirement to provide evidence of insurance or a bond of $5 million.

Currently, more than 50 companies have active permits to test autonomous vehicles with a safety driver in different cities in California. Pony.ai joins a growing list of companies that have active permits to test driverless vehicles in California without a safety driver. There are currently eight companies with such permits, including Baidu, AutoX, WeRide, Cruise, Nuro, and Zoox, although only one of these companies (Nuro) has a permit to operate commercial services.

Since 2016 when Pony.ai began operations, it has continued to expand in its scope of operations, attracting investments from important quarters. This has seen the company come out stronger this year as it continues to evolve new partnerships and collaborations with automakers and suppliers. Pony.ai’s agnostic virtual driver system could be applied to vehicles of all sizes and purposes and could provide a revolutionary approach to driverless technology.

The device is now available for purchase in China for a price of 2,499 yuan which roughly converts to $389. The pricing is the same as the 8GB + 256GB variant. The Redmi K40 series has been quite popular as it sold 1 million units in just 23 days.

Motorola One Action receives Android 11 update

May 24, 2021

Motorola is one of the few companies known for Android One smartphones. The Lenovo-owned brand launched a smartphone called Motorola One Action under this initiative in August 2019. Almost two years after its announcement, this device has now started receiving its second major update.

Motorola One Action Denim Blue Featured — Motorola One Action

The Motorola One Action is one of a kind smartphone with a 16MP ultra-wide action camera. The handset debuted with Android 9.0 Pie and was later updated to Android 10 early last year.

Since the phone is part of the Android One program, it is eligible for two Android updates and three years of monthly security patches. Hence, Motorola is now rolling out Android 11 for this device as its second major OS update.

According to a report by PiunikaWeb, the Motorola One Action Android 11 update is currently live in Brazil. Even in this region, the update is being rolled out in batches.

Hence, the Android 11 update for Motorola One Action might take some time to reach every unit around the world. Anyway, all users should be able to experience the new system update in the near future.

That said, the Motorola One Action should receive one more year of security patches. Unfortunately, due to the Samsung Exynos 9609 chipset underneath, this phone does not have an active custom ROM development. Therefore, users will have to stick with Android 11 till the end of their handset’s lifetime.

Xiaomi launches the MIJIA Ultra-thin Robot Vacuum Cleaner for ¥1999 (~$310)

May 24, 2021

Xiaomi has expanded its home robot vacuum cleaner lineup with the launch of the MIJIA Ultra-thin Robot Vacuum Cleaner. The product happens to be the thinnest model compared to previous models with a 5.5cm body thickness. It also comes with several top-notch features that are not impeded by the thin build.

The MIJIA Ultra-thin Robot Vacuum Cleaner utilizes the popular LiDAR technology to achieve full-scene intelligent obstacle avoidance. As a result of the thin build, the vacuum can navigate to hard-to-reach places in the home. Xiaomi claims to have conducted some research before the design of the product. One such research shows that if the height of the vacuum is controlled within 6cm, more than 80% of the bottom of furniture can be cleaned. Interestingly, the research also shows that the minimum limit of traditional robot vacuums is basically above 8cm or even higher, and the height of the bottom of the furniture in most households in China is about 7cm. Thus, this new vacuum cleaner solves a peculiar problem.

It also deploys a ToF sensor and a front camera which all aid the visual navigation capabilities. The robot vacuum also offers a four-fold increase in scanning range and a five-times increase in the mapping accuracy. After the device has been used for some time, it then automatically generates a zone map.

The MIJIA Ultra-thin Robot Vacuum has two sets of dust boxes, with one having a 500ml large-capacity. There is also a two-in-one drawer combination design made up of a 200mL dust box and a 220mL water tank. With these designs, users can switch between sweep and mop integration and separating sweep and mop functions.

Further, the robot vacuum is equipped with a brushless motor which achieves an ultra-large suction force of 2000Pa. Compared with the ultra-thin mainstream suction nozzle design, the roller brush design deeply absorbs common trash such as lint, particles, and hair. The suction power can be graduated in 4 levels depending on the intensity of the dirt. The base level has less noise while the super-powerful level is ideal for sucking carpets and other dirty areas.

For the mopping function, there is a 200ml intelligent electronically controlled water tank with 3 levels of water volume adjustment. You also get the option of selecting the mopping pressure level.

As with other Xiaomi smart products, the MIJIA Ultra-thin Sweeping and Mopping Robot (if we’ll call it that) can also be remotely controlled via the MIJIA app. The vacuum cleaner can also be set to sweep through a custom cleaning mode when no one is at home. The robot vacuum can also be used to control other home gadgets via the XiaoAI voice prompt.

Talking of the pricing and availability, the MIJIA Ultra-thin Robot Vacuum carries an original price tag of 2,499 yuan (~$380) but is presently available on Jingdong (JD.com) for 1999 yuan (~$310) which is 500 yuan off.

May 24, 2021

POCO has become the fastest growing smartphone brand in India. The company saw a year on year growth of a whopping 300 percent in the first quarter of this year, as per a new report.

According to the IDC Worldwide Quarterly Mobile Phone Track that was released in May 2021. The report added that the Chinese smartphone maker saw an “immensely” positive reception for its product portfolio in the region. Its various offerings that have offered stellar performance have enabled it to become the fastest growing smartphone brand.
