Ever since Lenovo bought Motorola, we haven’t really come across a smartphone that was both powerful and exciting for regular consumers. Especially in China, we have been waiting for an interesting model for a while. But this year, that wait ended with the launch of the new Motorola Edge S. As the first Snapdragon 870 smartphone, the brand is trying to regain its footing in the mobile industry. So let’s see how good the Motorola Edge S in real life.
Motorola Edge S Review: Box Contents
Although it comes in a compact box, Motorola has, thankfully, decided to still include a charger and cable inside the box. It is worth mentioning that the Edge S’ case did not come separately in the box, rather it was already installed on the phone. I guess this should be the secret of how it is possible to make the box so small when there is a charger included.
Motorola Edge S Review: Design
If there was one word to describe the hands-on experience, it would be “Rough”.
The phone weighs 215 grams and is 9.69mm thick. Add a 6.7″ screen to this and the phone feels very bulky. The good thing is that the screen aspect ratio is 21:9, so it’s not particularly hard to grip. On the front, you’ll find a 1080p dual hole-punch screen with a 90hz refresh rate. It is rare that the two holes are not combined into one oval shape. The back cover reflects purple or blue light when viewed at different angles. It looks like glass but is actually plastic. There is a fingerprint sensor on the side and even a headphone jack, which was surprising.
And there is an additional multifunction button. It can be customized to open programs with one click. Double tapping on the fingerprint sensor can also trigger a similar function.
However, some details of the Edge S are not quite good enough. For example, the screen protector is smaller than the screen size, resulting in the edges not being covered. There is almost no oleophobic layer on the screen and back cover. So the entire phone will be covered in fingerprints after a few hours of handling, which makes the display very shabby. The top and bottom bezels are also very wide.
Yes, I agree it retails for a cheap price tag but there are plenty of phones in its price range that are more refined than this. Unfortunately, if you are someone who wants a phone that feels premium, the Edge S may not live up to your expectations.
That said, I know that users who actually get this phone will be for its processor. This year’s Snapdragon 888 was too powerful resulting in overheating issues.
So can the Edge S with Snapdragon 870 give us a satisfactory performance?
Motorola Edge S Review: Snapdragon 870 Gaming & Performance
On Antutu Benchmark the phone scored a respectable 640,000 while in 3DMARK it got around 4900. Compared to the Mi 11’s Snapdragon 888 the gap is still very obvious. But Benchmark tests only show their peak performance, and gaming is the only real way to check the true level of sustained performance output for a smartphone.
So let’s play some games on the device.
PUBG naturally goes without saying, ran almost always at 60 fps. Genshin Impact was better optimized for the Snapdragon 888 chip after a recent update. We compare this to the re-tested Mi 11. The Edge S has an average frame rate of only 47 fps. Whereas the Mi 11 can reach 53 fps.
The Edge S averaged 48 fps in BrightRidge while the Mi 11 averaged 52 fps. So there is a visible difference in performance in terms of numbers. But in terms of real-world experience, the Snapdragon 870 still has the edge. The Snapdragon 888’s frame rate plummets when it overheats, which can be noticeably felt. But the Snapdragon 870 is largely immune to this phenomenon.
And the Edge S tops out at around 50°C. However, the Mi 11 can reach up to 55°C. It’s already hard to hold the phone when you are gaming. So if the Edge S is used as a phone dedicated to gaming, I think it’s still good.
Motorola Edge S Review: Camera
Main Camera
Next, we put the focus on the Camera system of the Motorola Edge S. Let’s start with the Edge S’ camera setup. The four rear cameras consist of a 64mp main camera, a 16MP ultra-wide-angle lens, a 2MP portrait depth of field lens, and a TOF lens. The daytime performance of the main camera is relatively good, with natural colors. Apart from the highlights and purple-fringing issue, which were not so well controlled, the camera quality was quite satisfactory for a phone at this price point.
Night Camera Samples
The nighttime performance is not as good as the daytime. Highlights overflow, details in dark are lost and noise is noticeable. Turning on night mode only improves the exposure imbalance, but the other shortcomings remain the same.
64MP Mode
At night, it’s fine for recording. But note that you can’t expect much from its video performance in low light. We also tested the Ultra-Resolution mode. This mode outputs 64MP photos. But the difference in sharpness compared to the straight-out 16MP photos is not very noticeable.
Ultra Wide Camera
The ultra-wide camera performs similarly when compared to the main camera, although the purple-fringing issue is much worse in the daytime. In low light, the performance of the ultra-wide camera is worse than the main camera, and there is no night mode for the ultra-wide camera. So it’s best to stick to brighter places if you want to take pictures with an ultra-wide camera.
Macro Camera
The ultra-wide camera can also take macro photos. The photos are good. But because there is no OIS, you need to keep your hand very steady when you shoot.
Motorola Edge S Review: Battery
The back cover is made of plastic, so you must be wondering why the phone is still so heavy? The reason is that it comes with a huge 5000mAh battery. But the battery life is not just about battery capacity, it’s also about optimizations. One hour of 1080p internet video consumes 14%, one hour of web browsing consumes 11%, half an hour of Genshin Impact consumes 12% and 20 minutes of BrightRidge consumes 13%. A day without charging should not be a problem.
However, the maximum charging power is limited to 20 Watts. You only get 37% charge in half an hour and 68% in one hour. A full charge takes close to two hours, which is a long time of waiting. If you forget to charge it before going to bed, it’s still a pain to get the Edge S completely charged.
Motorola Edge S Review: Verdict
So after looking at all the configurations, do you think the Motorola Edge S is worth buying?
Well, it’s not great in a lot of areas. But with the Snapdragon 870 and 5000mah battery, and a very cost-effective price, it makes for an excellent gaming smartphone. If you’re on a budget and want a gaming phone, you should definitely consider it.
The launch of the Meizu 18 series is just around the corner. The device is set to launch tomorrow (3rd March 2021) and the company just released new teaser for its upcoming flagship earlier today (2nd March 2021).
In the new teaser, the Chinese smartphone maker showcases its devices camera system. The Meizu 18 features SMA (shape memory alloy motor) optical image stabilization, which is similar to the one found in the Huawei Mate 30 Pro and P40 Pro flagships.

Apple has been rumored to be working on a foldable iPhone for months. Now, a new note known analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has stated that the company might be launching such a device by 2023.
According to a 9To5Macreport, the analyst also added that this foldable iPhone from the Cupertino based giant could launch along with the 2023 iPhone lineup and may feature a display size of “7.5 to 8 inches.” Previously, it was rumored that the company might be launching its first foldable handset in 2022, while another report stated that work has already began but the company has yet to decide on an official release schedule.
Furthermore, Kuo also made predictions for Apple iPhones. Apparently, the first truly full screen iPhone with no notch would also appear during this time. Although, this forecast is also heavily tied with whether Apple’s “development goes smoothly.” However, Kuo states that the company could launch its first iPhone without a notch or punch hole by 2023. This could also mean that we may even see an in display fingerprint scanner and periscopic camera lens as well.
Kuo also added that Apple might discontinue the iPhone 11 by the end of 2022, and will be replacing the device for a new model that could launch in the first half of 2023 and will be priced under 600 US Dollars. This device could include Face ID and have a similar 11 inch display along with 5G support. Unfortunately, this is still an unconfirmed report, so take it with a pinch of salt and stay tuned for more as we will be providing updates when additional information is available.
According to an EEOreport, a source close to the smartphone chipset industry has stated that there is no extreme shortage of mobile chips for handset manufacturers. In other words, there is not risk of smartphones being out of stock due to shortages in semiconductor supply. Previously, we had reported on chip supply issues affecting chip makers Qualcomm and their supply to OEMs like Realme and Xiaomi. However, it seems that despite supply issues, these brands are still able to manufacture their smartphone offerings.
Earlier this week, Oppo said that its current supply of chips and related raw materials from its supply chain is tight, but with its current inventory, it can still guarantee production of its smartphones. As per the source, the market condition at the moment has various components of SoCs (Systems on Chip) also being in short supply, including the main chip, the RF, power, Bluetooth, and other crucial components of the processor.
Meanwhile, Huawei, which is the largest smartphone maker in China, has been seeing a sharp decline in the market share within its home country. This is primarily due to US sanctions that have cut out its chip supply, causing rival Chinese brands fighting to steal its market share in China. Unfortunately, the global chip shortage is expected to last till at least the second half of the year and could likely also stretch to the next year as well. So stay tuned for more updates.
The Galaxy A52 and the Galaxy A72 are probably the most leaked smartphones of 2021 so far. We know everything about these Samsung mid-range smartphones ahead of their official announcement. This includes specs, design, and pricing too. Now, once again, the camera and display specs of Galaxy A52 leak but in more detail.
When Roland Quandt of WinFuture shared the spec sheet and renders of Galaxy A52 and Galaxy A52 5G last month, he did not go into detail about the display and camera parameters of these handsets. Hence, he has now revealed those missing data on Twitter.
According to him, the standard 4G version of the device will flaunt a 90Hz screen, whereas the 5G model will be equipped with a 120Hz panel. However, the FHD+ (2400 x 1080 pixels) Super AMOLED display on both will measure 6.5-inch and will feature a peak brightness level of 800 nits.
Talking about optics, the duo will sport a quad-camera setup on the back. The primary sensor will be of 64 megapixels with a pixel size of 0.8 µm, 81° lens, and OIS (Optical Image Stabilization). For those unaware, the presence of OIS in select 2021 Galaxy A series smartphones was first reported in July 2020.
Further, the setup will include an 8MP sensor with 1.12 µm pixel size as well as a 123° ultra-wide-angle lens, and two 5MP sensors with 1.12 µm pixel size but with a 78° macro lens and an 85° lens (depth) respectively.
As far as other specifications are concerned, the 4G variant will be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G SoC while the 5G version will come with Qualcomm Snapdragon 750G chipset. The duo will feature 6GB/8GB RAM, 128GB/256GB internal storage, 32MP selfie camera, IP67 certification, 3.5mm headphone jack, MicroSD card slot, NFC, Android 11 (One UI 3.x), 4,500mAh battery, and 25W fast charging.
Last but not least, the Galaxy A52 will be available in four colors ( Awesome White, Awesome Black, Awesome Blue, Awesome Violet) and will start at €349 and €429 for 4G and 5G variants respectively.

We’ve talked a lot about wireless earbuds in our previous reviews. And today the new buds that we want to share with you is the Pamu Quiet Mini. You may have not heard of the brand Pamu before this. It’s a new company that focuses on affordable performance headsets with good design for the global market. And the first thing that attracts you about the Pamu Quiet Mini is its design.
Pamu Quiet Mini earbuds Review: Design
To be honest, with so many brands focused on bringing out alternatives to the Apple Airpods, it’s hard to differentiate between their products and the Apple earbuds. Therefore, we are glad to have found Pamu, a brand that is not simply copying Apple’s design when it comes to wireless earbuds.
So let’s start with its design. Looking at the Pamu Quiet, it’s quite clear that the lineup focuses on delivering good active-noise-canceling performance with an identifiable design.
The charging case is slightly bigger than other earbuds in the market, but fortunately, it has got good build quality with excellent weight control. Indeed, the charging case is not as ingenious as what we have for the Pamu Quiet standard version, but surprisingly, the mini reserved almost all the essential features from the standard Quiet version and even upgraded it with the Bluetooth 5.2 connection and earbud separated connection.
Coming back to the charging case, once we take out the buds, we can see that the mini also comes with an in-ear design, much like its competitors in the market. Each bud only weighs around 5g, which is almost unperceivable when you wear them even for a long period of time. Besides the default size, Pamu offers 2 more sizes for the ear tips. So once you choose the right tip size, the earbuds will fit your ears pretty well and will guarantee passive noise blocking. Another good detail is that the earbuds support IPX4-rated waterproofing, the same as the AirPods Pro. So wearing it for a sweaty exercise or on a rainy day is pretty safe.
As for the sound quality, the Quiet Mini offers excellent sound output. Each Mini earbud features a 10mm-dynamic-unit driver for enhancing the depth of bass and uses Agile Pen Titanium composite diaphragm for good ductility. And in theory, the titanium metal is also able to produce better sound quality at higher frequencies.
So how does it actually sound?
Pamu Quiet Mini earbuds Review: Sound Quality & Performance
Well, the bass is the part that sounds the most impressive on the Quiet Mini, which is one of the richest and deepest bass that we’ve heard on wireless earbuds. However, the high frequencies are a bit weaker than its performance in the lower end. The buds still surprised us with a good dynamic response and clear gradation in a wide range of frequencies. So generally, it achieves a bright and balanced vibe with a good presentation of instruments, but it may be not so delightful when you focus on the vocals, especially when it comes to a high-pitched female voice. However, we feel the rich bass exceeded our expectations and that kind of set the bar for the high frequencies as well. Overall, I still quite enjoy the sound quality of the Quiet Mini.
Another feature that impressed us was its noise-canceling. To be honest, we are confused as to how a budget wireless earbuds can have such a good noise-canceling effect. Previously, good active noise cancellation was only available on high-end earbuds which cost over 150 USD. However, the Pamu Quiet Mini brings pretty good noise cancellation at only around 60 to 70 USD, which is quite amazing. Pamu claims that the mini reduces noise up to 40dB, which is almost the best figure on paper for most ANC wireless earbuds. In actual tests, the Quiet Mini was capable of handling a wide range of frequencies in most noisy scenarios. After comparison, the de-noised sounds processed by the Quiet Mini is pretty close to what we got on the AirPods Pro. Noticing that the AirPods Pro were much more expensive than the Quiet Mini, such performance from the Mini version is really amazing.
Meanwhile, the Pamu Quiet Mini supports Bluetooth 5.2 connection, which allows the earbuds to deliver sounds with extremely low latency. In actual use, the sound latency was almost unperceivable for us. In addition, Pamu offers a game mode option in their official App, which allows gamers to enjoy immersive gaming sound with a stable connection and extremely low latency. But in the game mode, the sound quality could be affected.
The official app is pretty easy to operate with a very simple interface. You can customize all the buds’ operations on the App and get more information about the earbuds.
Another useful feature is the Dual Master technology. Each bud of the Quiet Mini has independent connectivity and can be used separately, which means that each earbud can connect with two different devices for dual-channel transmission. So if you had issues switching sounds between two devices, it’s definitely going to save you a lot of trouble, as it did for me.
Pamu Quiet Mini earbuds Review: Battery Life
Compared to the Quiet standard version, the Mini also brings better battery performance. The playback time of the Mini can last about 5 hours. And the charging case offers 3 additional full charges for the earbuds. Besides wired charging, the case also supports Qi-certified wireless charging, which is not common for such budget wireless earbuds.
So that’s all about the latest Pamu Quiet Mini earbuds. The Quiet Mini is an impressive option with excellent value, especially considering the price and the performance that it delivers.
So how do you like the Pamu Quiet Mini? If you have any questions or ideas you want to share with us, please leave them down below.
Also, our Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro review will be up very soon. So stay tuned for that in the next couple of days.
Earlier this week, Ni Fei, President of Nubia, shared a new post on his official Weibo account, a Chinese microblogging website, where it showcased its upcoming Red Magic 6 gaming smartphone’s RAM boost technology support.
According to the senior official of the Chinese smartphone maker, the Red Magic 6 will arrive with Magic Write 2.0. This is the company’s fast storage read and write technology and is a part of the Red Magic Arc Reactor performance engine. It combines the Tencent Solar Core game engine along with intelligent scheduling of CPU, GPU, and memory. In simpler terms, the smart optimization of the device’s hardware enables shorted cold starts of mobile games, slashed load times in game, and faster in game click response.
Furthermore, the President of Nubia also added that the RAM boost technology allows the Red Magic 6’s 12GB of RAM to be used “just like 18GB of memory.” In other words, it supports rapid virtual expansion technology that enables the software memory boost. This would further boost the device’s gaming capabilities to offer smoother gameplay experience, faster response time and more. Unfortunately, we are not exactly sure how the company achieves this, but it is likely that it boosting the RAM’s speed to offer higher performance or using its boost engine to perform processes equivalent to a 18GB RAM module.
Talking about the specs of the device, the Red Magic 6 may launch in two versions, Red Magic 6, Red Magic 6 Pro. The devices are expected to arrive with an OLED display with a refresh rate up to 165Hz and a touch sampling rate up to 480MHz. The company is already teasing shoulder touch buttons for gaming. Additionally, it will also sport a Snapdragon 888 chipset with a battery capacity of 4,500mAh and a 120W fast charging under the hood.
Xiaomi India launched the Mi 10T series in October as its cheapest flagship smartphone series of 2020. The lineup consists of three models, namely Mi 10T, Mi 10T Pro, and Mi 10T Lite. But the company only brought the former two to its largest market outside China. Now, a little over four months after their debut in the country, the vanilla Mi 10T gets its first permanent price cut.

A recent report by the New York Times details how the New York police have been using robot dogs to aid crime fighting in the city. The latest story is that of two men who were kidnapped in an apartment in the Bronx area. The two kidnappers had entered the apartment pretending to be plumber but soon took the occupants hostage and tied them up for several hours. One of the victims successfully escaped from the armed men and then contacted the police.
When the police arrived the scene, because they were not sure if the gunmen were still inside the apartment,they deployed a robotic dog named Digidog. The robot is equipped with a camera and lights and allows the police to remotely view the scene through two-way communication. The police team also disclosed that the robot dog can see clearly in the dark thanks to night vision camera.
In the Bronx case, the police used Digidog to understand that the room was empty as the gunmen had fled the scene. They are still searching for the two robbers who stole a mobile phone and $2,000 in cash and burned one of the victims with a soldering iron.
In an unusual manner, the case has generated some concerns bothering on privacy. Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called Digidog a mobile monitor on Twitter.
Jay Stanley, a senior policy analyst at the American Civil Liberties Union, said that allowing robots to do police work would have an impact on prejudice, mobile surveillance, hacking, and privacy issues. Others worry that robots may cooperate with other technologies as weapons.
“We have seen that many police stations have not explained the situation to the communities they serve when adopting powerful new surveillance technologies and other technologies, let alone soliciting opinions from the public.” He said, “So openness and transparency are of the utmost importance.”
While these concerns raised shows what the emerging robotics technology may face in the future, we can’t throw away the fact that they bring immense benefits. Keith Taylor once served in the SWAT team and currently teaches at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice. He said that a mobile device that can collect intelligence remotely in unstable situations “has great potential” to reduce the number of casualties.
“It is important to question the police, but the benefits of this matter seem obvious,” he said. “Its purpose is to help the police obtain the information they need without a fatal exchange of fire.”
The New York Police Department is one of the three police stations in the United States where this robot dog is deployed. The robot in question is Boston Dynamics’ Spot robot which went on sale last year. New York Plolice chose to name theirs Digidog. nitor. “It’s very noisy and it shines.” He said, “It’s easy to get people’s attention.”
We expect the use of robots to prevent police officers from getting into dangerous situations to become a routine in the near future.
In 2016, the police confronted a gunman who killed five police officers in Dallas and eventually killed him with a robot.
In 2015, a man with a knife threatened to jump off a bridge in San Jose, California. The police used the robot to provide him with a mobile phone and a pizza, and finally arrested him.
The previous year, after a gunman locked himself in a motel room, Albuquerque police used robots to “deploy chemical weapons” and eventually subdued him.
Since the past couple of years, chipset makers have been making their flagship chips based on the 5nm process. However, manufacturers have been working on a more advanced process, using 3nm and 2nm nodes.
Now, it appears that TSMC, the world’s largest contract manufacturer of chips, will start mass production of 3nm chipsets from next year. As per the report, the company will start production in the second half of 2022 with a capacity to process 30,000 wafers.
It further adds that because of the order commitment from Apple, TSMC will expand the monthly production capacity of its 3nm process to 55,000 units in 2022 and within a year after that, it plans to expand the production to 105,000 units a month.
Compared to the current 5nm process, the new 3nm process reduces power consumption by 30 percent and increases performance by 15 percent. Even with orders for 3nm chips, the company will continue to focus on 5nm chips as well.
In this year, TSMC will be expanding its production capacity for the 5nm chips to meet the increasing demand. Currently, it has a capacity of manufacturing 90,000 units a month but in the first half of this year, it will be increased to 105,000 units. By the end of this year, it plans to further expand the manufacturing capacity to 120,000 units.
By the year 2024, the production capacity of TSMC’s 5nm chips is expected to reach 160,000 units. Apart from Apple, the company’s major clients for the 5nm process include AMD, MediaTek, Marvell, Broadcom, and Qualcomm among others.
However, TSMC has allocated most of its resources for Apple as the company is gearing up to launch its iPhone 13 series which will be powered by the A15 chipset, manufactured using the 5nm+ or N5P process. It is basically a performance enhanced process of 5nm node which also brings power efficiency.
Apple recently launched its iPhone 12 lineup and the devices have been well-received in the market. The company is now working on its successor, the iPhone 13 series, which will be officially launched around September this year.
While it is still a long time before we get this new iPhone lineup, some details about the iPhone 13 series have started surfacing online. In the latest report, the upcoming device’s screen details have been revealed.
The report claims that the iPhone 13 Pro will come with a 120Hz refresh rate LTPO OLED display. We expect the company to continue with the same display size as the existing models but the report says that the notch on top of the screen will be smaller.
The company is also rumored to include an in-display fingerprint in the iPhone 13 models, along with support for Wi-Fi 6E. However, a recent report claims that the prototype of the upcoming phones doesn’t include in-display sensor.
It is also reported that Apple could launch a 1TB storage variant of the iPhone 13 Pro this year. This is twice the storage capacity when compared to the highest capacity model in the current iPhone 12 lineup.
It is not confirmed if the company plans to increase the storage capacity in the base model, which is currently at 128GB. A recent report revealed that the company is planning to use the Qualcomm Snapdragon X60 5G modem for the upcoming lineup.
The iPhone 13 Pro models are also expected to feature an upgraded Ultra Wide camera lens with a wider ƒ/1.8 aperture and autofocus, compared to ƒ/2.4 on iPhone 12 models. The devices may be a bit heavier as Apple plans to add higher capacity battery.
