Nokia C10 vs Nokia C20: Specs Comparison

HMD Global just launched six phones in the global market. They belong to three series: C, G, and X. The C series always included the most affordable Nokia phones and it is the same for the new handsets launched: Nokia C10 and Nokia C20. This is a comparison between the Nokia C10 and the Nokia C20, but it won’t be like the other comparison we usually publish. We will describe the phones instead of focusing on their differences because there are only two important differences between the phones. We are talking about the processor and the memory configurations: for all the rest, they are pretty much the same.

Design

Nokia C10 and Nokia C20 come with a pretty modern design for an entry-level phone. They have a display with narrow bezels and a waterdrop notch including the front camera. Unfortunately, you do not get a fingerprint reader with these devices. The body is made of cheap polycarbonate and there is a circular camera module in the middle of the rear side. The volume rocker and the power key are placed on the right side of the phone. The upper border houses a 3.5 mm audio jack allowing you to connect your headphones, while the inferior border includes the speaker, the microphone, and a micro USB 2.0 port for charging the battery.

 

Display

The display of the Nokia C10 and the Nokia C20 has a diagonal of 6.52 inches and shows images with an HD+ resolution (720 x 1600 pixels). It has a 20:9 aspect ratio and it is an IPS LCD panel. Do not expect a high image quality from this panel: it is a low-end display with a sufficient but not exciting resolution, and not so accurate colors. The display covers more than 75 percent of the front panel and comes with a waterdrop notch for the front camera.

 

Specs & Software

The Nokia C10 and the Nokia C20 come with entry-level processors manufactured by Unisoc. The Nokia C10 has a Unisoc SC7331E, while the Nokia C20 has a Unisoc SC9863A. The latter is more powerful than the former: it is an octa-core processor (and not quad-core like the SC7331E) and it provides a higher clock frequency. Nokia C10 debuted in three memory configurations: the most affordable one has 1 GB of RAM and 16 GB of internal storage, then you get a 2/16 GB version and a 2/32 GB configuration if you need more internal storage. The native storage is expandable with a micro SD. The Nokia C20 comes in two memory options: 1/16 GB and 2/32 GB. If it was not for the presence of Android 11 Go as the operating system, these hardware departments would not be sufficient to guarantee decent performance with daily usage. But Android 11 Go Edition is an enlightened version of the operating system made for devices with outdated and low-end hardware departments. Nokia C10 and C20 will get 2 years of major Android updates and two years of security updates.

 

Camera

Nokia C10 and Nokia C20 sport entry-level cameras: unfortunately, they do not provide high-end camera performance and they are disappointing for those who are searching for a decent camera phone. They have just one camera on the rear side: a 5 MP sensor. The same 5 MP sensor is placed on the waterdrop notch above the display, but the interesting thing is that it is paired with a front-facing LED flash allowing to shoot selfies even in the dark.

 

 

Battery

Nokia C10 and Nokia C20 are equipped with a 3000 mAh battery. It is not a big battery and it is below-average if compared to other phones, but given that these devices come with entry-level specifications (such as the HD+ display and the low-end Unisoc chipset), it is more than sufficient to guarantee a good battery life.

 

Price

The starting price tag of the Nokia C10 in the global market is €80/$95, while the Nokia C20 starts from €90/$108. If you were wondering which one to go for, given the narrow price difference, we strongly recommend opting for the Nokia C20 in order to get a better mobile platform. For an entry-level phone like these, it is important to have at least an octa-core processor in order to get decent performance.

This Apple AirPods Max Clone looks like the Original despite selling for just $10

Clones of Apple products are common in every part of the world and China is a place where we would find products that are so close to the original ones, at least in appearance. In fact, we recently saw a clone of the upcoming AirPods 3 as well. Amidst such craze for Apple products, we have managed to get a clone version of the Apple AirPods Max selling at as low as $10. So, let’s take a look and see how well it tries to replicate the original version.

Right off the bat, this clone of the Apple AirPods Max comes in a box with an image of the headphones in the Grey version. The model is mentioned as P9 and it is ‘Made in China’. Opening it up, and we see a design that is very close to the AirPods Max. In case you don’t know, Apple launched its first-ever over-the-ear wireless headphones back in December.

Apple’s AirPods Max is officially selling for 4,399 yuan in China and $549 in the USA. However, you can get this clone version for as low as 65 yuan (around $10) in China. Talking about the design, we managed to get hold of these cheap knock-offs in Grey and Blue colors.

Taking a closer look at the body, we immediately find that it is built entirely on plastic but it has a silver finish to the handles to make it look like stainless steel. This is a no-brainer considering you are getting a knock-off for such a lower price.

Further, the ear cup cushions and the headrest aren’t knit mesh like the original version but they are typical soft pads.

There are four buttons on the side for media controls. It’s also worth noting that it doesn’t have a Digital crown like the original AirPods Max.

We do see features like 50mm HiFi Dynamic driver coil, high-fidelity Audio, SBC, and AAC audio codec support written on the box, but honestly, don’t expect much in terms of audio quality or connectivity.

If you want to specifically know about its audio quality, we can say that it obviously isn’t good. It’s okay for the price though but for a product that’s compared to the original AirPods Max in terms of audio quality., it’s in no way comparable. After all, it’s just a clone version and sells for just around $10.

To sum up, the clone version of the AirPods Max definitely impresses us in terms of looks. But we would have liked to see that beautiful digital crown on the top of the earcup.

What do you think about this clone version? What are other interesting Apple clones that you have come across? Do let us know in the comments below.

Nokia 2.2 starts receiving Android 11 update

HMD Global, the company behind Nokia smartphones was once known for updating its portfolio faster than most other companies. However, that’s not the case anymore. The firm has missed on delivering the Android 11 update to some phones, which were supposed to get it in the last quarter. One of those handsets is Nokia 2.2 and it is now finally receiving the promised system update.

TicWatch GTH brings its skin temperature monitoring to global markets for $95.99

Mobvoi has finally brought its TicWatch GTH to the global market. The square-faced smartwatch, a first for the company, has a sensor for 24-hour skin temperature monitoring. Surprisingly, the global version sells for more than double the price in China.

TicWatch GTH featured

The unique selling point of the TicWatch GTH is its 24-hour skin temperature measurement. There are very few smartwatches that can measure temperature. The other two that come to mind are the Amazfit GTS 2e and the Amazfit GTR 2e.

Mobvoi says that the temperature feature is not intended to diagnose or treat any medical condition but will provide additional information about your overall health. The sensor has an accuracy of ± 0.1°C and also provides on-demand readings that take a few seconds. Mobvoi also adds 24-hour blood oxygen level detection and respiration rate (number of breaths taken per minute). There is also an integrated breathing exercise coach that helps you to relax.

The TicWatch GTH has a 1.55-inch TFT touch display and uses 20mm interchangeable TPU straps. It runs RTOS, connects via Bluetooth 5.1, and is water-resistant up to 50 meters. There is a 260mAh battery inside the device that charges in 2 hours. The battery life is said to go up to ten days.

The smartwatch supports 14 workout modes and workout detection (TicMotion). It also has support for sleep tracking, app notifications, music playback control, sedentary reminder, and a find-your-phone feature.

Mobvoi is asking for $95.99 (rest of the world) for the TicWatch GTH which is more than double the ¥299 (~$46) price tag in China. It is priced at $79.99 in the US, €79.99 in Europe, and £69.99 in the UK. The smartwatch is already available for purchase on Mobvoi’s website.

Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro Review: Are the Issues from the Mi 11 fixed?

In the Mi 11 video released in January, we introduced the powerful Mi 11 flagship to you guys and told you why you should wait for a couple of months for the Mi 11 Pro and the Ultra. Now they have finally arrived. 

So was it worth the wait? Let’s find out the answer.

Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro Review 1

In the last video, we reviewed the Mi 11 Ultra and today let’s turn to the Mi 11 Pro. 

Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro Review: Design

First of all, when compared to the appearance and design of the Mi 11, the Mi 11 Pro doesn’t really bring improvements. On the contrary, the body of the Pro feels a bit bulkier with a thickness of 8.53mm and a weight of 208 grams. So if you are really concerned about the weight, the Pro may disappoint you because the two phones feel very different when holding in the hand. 

Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro Review 16

Another thing that you have to think about is the higher price. By far the Pro version is only available in China market and only comes with Chinese versions, which generally will a bit cheaper than its global version. The Pro’s starting price is 1000 RMB more expensive than the Mi 11, while the global version’s price is estimated to be at least 100USD higher than the global Mi 11.

Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro Review 12

But other than the pricing and design changes, let’s take a look at what’s upgraded on the Pro model.

Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro Review: Display & Hardware

But first, I want to remind you what’s reserved on the Pro model from the standard version. For example, the excellent display shared by both the Pro and standard models is still one of the best phone displays, so it seems like a reasonable decision.

Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro Review 13And the performance-related hardware is shared by both the phones, like the Snapdragon 888 chipset, accompanied with UFS 3.1 storage and LPDDR5 memory, which is also one of the best combinations that you can find among Android smartphones in 2021. And the excellent dual speakers with Harman Kardon Tuning are still delightful to listen to. 

Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro Review: Cameras

But the most significant upgrade in the Pro model is the rear camera setup. The main camera is upgraded to a top one featuring the Samsung GN2 sensor, which is the biggest camera sensor that you can find on a smartphone right now. The Mi 11 Ultra, the best and the most expensive model among the Mi 11 series, is also equipped with this camera sensor for its main camera. 

Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro Camera Review 17

The 11’s useless 5MP tele-macro camera does not make it to the Mi 11 Pro, and Xiaomi replaces it with an 8MP telephoto camera which supports 5-time optical zoom and up to 50-time digital zoom. 

As for the wide-angle lens, Xiaomi didn’t do any changes with this 13MP one. 

Main Camera

So let’s check out what exactly we got and start with its main camera. Thanks to the larger sensor, generally the Pro’s samples were more excellent at delivering a higher-contrast image, and at the same time, have better noise control over the dark areas. And if we look closely at their colors, it’s not difficult to find that the Pro model presents richer colors with natural transition, but sometimes we may argue whether the images were a bit over-processed. Another advantage of the large sensor is the natural aperture bokeh effect. Compared to the Mi 11, the out-of-focus bokeh blurring is closer to a truly optical effect that we usually see on mirrorless cameras. And the fringing issue also got fixed well on the Pro model. 

50MP vs 108MP

But the Pro model didn’t get a complete victory in the main camera department due to the 50MP resolution. The 108MP resolution of the Mi 11’s main camera brought higher image clarity with sharper edges detail, no matter for the normal mode with the 24MP resolution or the original 108MP mode. 

Night Camera Performance

From the samples shot during the day, it’s pretty easy to estimate their night performance. No doubt the Pro model’s larger sensor improves the overall night creation. It’s much easier to get a brighter image with better noise control and richer detail on the Pro model. And more importantly, the shooting experience is much smoother and faster than the standard Mi 11. Especially for extremely low-light conditions, the Pro still maintained excellent performance. And on the Pro model, now it’s really not necessary to turn on the night mode in most night scenes. Instead, sometimes you even can have better images in the normal mode with AI adjustment on.   

Ultra-Wide Camera

As for their ultra-wide cameras, there is no significant image quality gap between their samples. Both of them are good and the samples didn’t really surprise us with the 13MP resolution. It is worth mentioning that as flagship models, there are already flagships with better wide-angle cameras. Even with Xiaomi, there is already one phone offering you a better wide-angle camera, which is the Ultra version. 

Although there is no hardware upgrade on the Pro model, we still want to point out a tiny difference in the samples. The image distortion seems more serious and hasn’t got optimized well on the Pro model. And probably you may also notice the difference in their color preferences. Look at the images here, we feel it doesn’t really make the images look better.

So let’s not talk more about the night shots. Just check the samples here. 

Ultra-Wide – Night

Another significant upgrade is the optical 5-times zoom capacity. The exclusive telephoto camera of the Pro model works well. Although it only features 8MP resolution, the image is still much sharper and clearer than the digital zoom of the Mi 11. And the night mode also works well on the 5-times-zoom shooting, which greatly improved the overall brightness and stability.

Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro Review: Gaming & Performance

As for the performance, there is no obvious improvement when compared to the Mi 11 as the Pro shares the same setup. On the contrary, the Mi 11 seems to perform better after getting continuously optimized in the last couple of months. In the benchmarks we tested, the results of the Mi11 are slightly better than the Mi 11 Pro. For example, it gets a slightly higher score in Geekbench 5’s multi-core test; and takes a small lead in the new Antutu benchmark; and is slightly better in 3DMark’s GPU test. And our gaming-test results also support the fact that by far the Mi 11 Pro didn’t have a ‘Pro’ performance, although Xiaomi claims it has an upgraded cooling solution. 

Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro Review 10

In the PUBG Mobile China version, the 11 Pro is allowed to run at 90fps under smooth graphics, while in the global version, it’s only allowed to run up to 60fps. So to access a higher framerate, our PUBG test was done with the China version. The Pro finished the test easily with a stable framerate at around 90fps.

Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro Review 8

In Genshin Impact, actually, the Pro performed pretty well and achieved an average framerate at 52.16fps. But we also found that it had frequent performance throttling down from the 9th minute, probably because of the old thermal issue of the snapdragon 888 chipset. And then let’s look at the Mi 11’s performance. The Mi 11 was able to run at a higher framerate at 55.12fps and maintain a high-performance output for a longer time. CPU throttling down still happened but it was less frequent. And if we look at their CPU temperature, it’s not difficult to find that the Mi 11 was running at a higher temperature. The fact is that the Pro probably got slightly better at cooling but it’s not so significant to reflect in its gaming performance at this moment.

Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro Heating Review 6Actually, the surfaces of these two models were really hot during the 30-min gaming test. We are not kidding, if not for the gaming test, I would never play the game on these two models for over 10 mins under the highest graphic settings. 

Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro Review 5

In Nimian Legend, the situation was quite similar. The Mi 11 Pro’s framerate is still a bit lower than the standard model. The heating issue still existed on the Pro model, and the temperature of their surface also raised up to around 50℃ during the gaming test. So here we really suggest those who wanna play heavy games on the Mi 11 series, it’s better to use an external cooling fan for a better gaming experience. 

Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro Review: Battery Life & Charging

Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro Charging Review 3

The solution of battery and charging is also upgraded on the Mi 11 Pro. The full-charge test only took us 37mins with the included 67W charger. And the wireless charging also got amazingly improved, which can provide up to 67W fast-wireless-charging efficiency. In the actual test, it took a few minutes longer to fully charge back the battery.  

About its 5000mAh battery life, the improvement is not so obvious. Just check our results here. 

Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro Battery Life Review 2

So that’s all about the Mi 11 Pro. The Pro models come with a bulkier body and a similar design,  offering a compromise between the Mi 11 and the Mi 11 Ultra. When compared to the Mi 11, indeed it’s upgraded with better camera setups and better charging solution, but at the same time, it’s priced higher too. 

Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro featured Review 14

So what do think of the Pro model? Does it live up to its Pro title?

Nintendo Switch Lite gets a new blue colorway and it is the prettiest

The Nintendo Switch Lite was originally announced in three colors – Gray, Turquoise, and Yellow. Last year, Nintendo released a fourth color variant – Coral. It has now followed it up with a fifth colorway which is Blue, and excuse my bias, but this is the prettiest of them all.

Nintendo Switch Lite Blue featured

Just like the other four colors, the new blue Switch Lite will have a suggested retail price of $199.99. The color difference is the chassis, so you still get white buttons like on the others.

Nintendo says that new color will be available next month, starting May 21. You will be able to purchase it on the Nintendo online store as well as at partner stores such as Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop, and Target.

The Japanese manufacturer has also announced that its upcoming game, Miitopia, will also be announced on May 21, the same day the new colorway goes on sale. It is an adventure game that you can play with family and friends.

Before Miitopia drops, Nintendo will release the New Pokémon Snap game for the Nintendo Switch devices on April 30. This game allows you to visit different islands and photograph different Pokémon in their natural habitat.

Apple iPhone 13 3D renders show the probable design of the iPhone 12 successor

We are probably several months away from the next iPhone launch but the leaks are already flowing in frequently. Tentatively called the iPhone 13, the series is said to get a big upgrade in display in the ‘Pro’ version. Amidst this, MySmartPrice has come up with the CAD 3D renders of the iPhone 13.

As per the report, the Apple iPhone 13 will measure around 146.7×71.5×7.6mm. This, if true, will be a slight change in thickness from 7.4mm on the iPhone 12. However, the design is said to be boxy and almost similar to the predecessor.

Moving on, the renders show that the rear camera layout has a slight change in placement. The two big cut-outs, as well as two smaller ones, are placed diagonally to each other. The bigger ones are probably the camera lens while the latter is likely the LED flash and a microphone.

Also, at the front, we see three cutouts on the notch. And speaking of which, the notch looks smaller this time as seen in previous leaks. This is because the speaker unit is moved above the cameras this time. There isn’t clear info regarding the cutouts but it would most likely be an IR camera, a Dot projector, and a front-facing selfie camera.

The Apple iPhone 13 series of devices are said to get upgrades in 2021 like the Apple A15 chipset, improved ultrawide cameraQualcomm X60 5G modem, storage up to 1TB, and support for Wi-Fi 6E.

As mentioned above, the biggest change would be the  LTPO display panel with a 120Hz refresh rate support on the ‘Pro’ variants.
