The POCO X3 NFC launches later today, and while the phone will feature a rear design we have not seen on any phone till date, it won’t be the only POCO phone to have such a look.
Apparently, the manufacturer has another phone in development with a similar rear design but this unnamed phone has two rear cameras, unlike the POCO X3 that packs four sensors. The info comes from Digital Chat Station.
The Chinese leaker revealed on Weibo that he came across two prototype POCO phones. One of the phones is the POCO X3 which has 64MP quad rear cameras and a Qualcomm processor inside it while the other phone has 48MP dual-cameras. Both devices have a similar rear design as shown in the render.
While the name of the phone is not known, it should be more affordable than any of the manufacturer’s current offering. The render, while not official, shows the phone doesn’t have a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner. It also appears to have a centered hole in its screen just like that of the POCO X3.
Other than the POCO X3 NFC launch today, there is also the POCO M2 launch scheduled for tomorrow, September 8 in India. With two phones in the first week of the month, we shouldn’t expect this dual-camera phone until much later or the end of September at the earliest. Nevertheless, more details should surface before it launches.
Huawei’s Developer Conference will begin on September 10 and we expect big announcements from the manufacturer with a focus on software. While we are still a few days away from the event, some interesting details have surfaced in a new leak.
According to the leaker Teme (@RODENT950) who is known for his Huawei-related leaks, folks will be able to “try HongMeng OS high-end tablets this year”. Based on the phrasing, it appears users will just be able to run and test the new operating system on these select tablets and not that they will actually run it out of the box.
You can try HongMengOS high-end tablets this year😊 This year there is no more hole punch but bezels are still ultra narrow.
The tweet also revealed that the design for this year’s (high-end) tablets, which are most likely the successors to the MatePad Pro and MatePad Pro 5G, will ditch the punch-hole design of the last generation but will still boast ultra-narrow bezels.
In another tweet, the leaker stated that HongMengOS 3.0 is “mobile-ready” and the first phone powered by the operating system will be announced in the second half of next year.
Btw HongMengOS 3.0 is mobile ready OS and first phone with that is coming later 2021 H2.
Huawei has confirmed it will announce HarmonyOS 2.0 (HongMengOS 2.0) at its developer conference this week. So it means that next year’s version will be 3.0 and will be the mobile-ready version that will appear in phones. The time frame is the second half of next year and our guess is that it will be announced at or after the 2021 Huawei Developer Conference.
We are excited to see what new features HongMengOS 2.0 will bring as they should provide hints as to what to expect when version 3.0 arrives next year.
Realme X7 Pro went official as one of the most affordable flagship killers of 2020. The handset packs one of the most powerful chipsets of the year but it is not made by Qualcomm: we are talking about the Dimensity 1000+ which allowed Realme to set a very affordable price for this handset. But the Realme X7 Pro is not the only phone with this SoC launched this year: there is Redmi K30 Ultra as well, in the same price range. That is why we decided to make a comparison between them and, for those who still do not trust MediaTek’s new flagship chipsets, we also brought the latest device launched with a Qualcomm SoC in the same price range: the ZTE Axon 20 5G.
Realme X7 Pro vs Xiaomi Redmi K30 Ultra vs ZTE Axon 20 5G
Realme X7 Pro
Xiaomi Redmi K30 Ultra
ZTE Axon 20 5G
DIMENSIONS AND WEIGHT
160.8 x 75.1 x 8.5 mm, 184 g
163.3 x 75.4 x 9.1 mm, 213 grams
172.1 x 77.9 x 8 mm, 198 g
DISPLAY
6.55 inches, 1080 x 2400p (Full HD+), Super AMOLED
6.67 inches, 1080 x 2400p (Full HD+), 395 ppi, AMOLED
ZTE Axon 20 5G is a very innovative device and it is the first smartphone to offer a full-screen experience while still including a selfie camera on the front panel. Indeed, the ZTE Axon 20 5G is the first phone with an under-display camera: a technology which is still not perfect on this device, but it provides a full-screen display while keeping a very thin body. The handset is also built with premium materials, including a glass back and an aluminum frame. The Redmi K30 Ultra has a full-screen display too, but it sports a motorized pop-up camera. The Realme X7 Pro has a punch-hole design.
Display
On the paper, the most convincing display belongs to the Redmi K30 Ultra which is equipped with an AMOLED panel sporting a 120 Hz refresh rate and the HDR10+ certification. Right after, we got the Realme X7 Pro which has a 120 Hz AMOLED display as well. but the ZTE Axon 20 5G offers an important advantage besides the under-display front camera: it has one of the widest panels ever seen on a phone, with a 6.92-inch diagonal. All of the devices feature a Full HD+ resolution.
Specs & Software
Realme X7 Pro and Redmi K30 Ultra are both equipped with the flagship-class Dimensity 1000+ chipset: in order to give you an idea, AnTuTu places this SoC in the middle between Snapdragon 855+ and Snapdragon 865. You probably understood that it is a more powerful chipset than the Snapdragon 765G found on the ZTE Axon 20 5G. And, obviously, it supports 5G networks. Redmi K30 Ultra and Realme X7 Pro feature up to 8 GB of RAM, but the former has up to 512 GB of native storage, while Realme X7 Pro stops at 256 GB. With the ZTE Axon 20 5G you get max 256 GB, but it is the only one with a micro SD slot. Android 10 is installed out of the box and customized by custom UIs.
Camera
The Redmi K30 Ultra looks like the device with the best rear camera capabilities because it has better secondary sensors on the rear side. We are talking about a 13 MP ultrawide lens and a 5 MP telephoto macro sensor. But when it comes to the front camera, ZTE Axon 20 5G (and Realme X7 Pro) are definitely better. Realme X7 Pro and ZTE Axon 20 5G have a very similar rear camera department, with just the ultrawide sensor being slightly different.
Battery
Realme X7 Pro and Redmi K30 Ultra have a bigger 4500 mAh battery than the ZTE Axon 20 5G. Given that they have the same chipset and the same refresh rate, it is hard to understand which one will last more on a single charge without testing them thoroughly. But note that Realme X7 Pro has a faster charging technology with a 65W power.
Price
Realme X7 Pro and ZTE Axon 20 5G are both priced about €270/$320 in China, while Redmi K30 Ultra starts from €329/$389. The differences between Realme X7 Pro and Redmi K30 Ultra are so marginal that it is not worth spending €50/$70 more for the Redmi K30 Ultra. The Redmi K30 Ultra has the best secondary rear cameras and HDR10+, but Realme X7 Pro has faster charging and a better front camera, as well as a sleeker design, imho. With those price tags, unless the design is your main concern, I think there is actually no reason to go for the ZTE Axon 20 5G.
Huawei’s founder and CEO Ren Zhengfei has stated that the challenges facing the embattled Chinese company will help forge “heroes,” an indication that the company may be down but definitely not out.
The tech mogul stated this while addressing strategy experts and new recruits at an internal forum Thursday. The Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd. CEO and founder said that while the firm was operating in unprecedented and troubling times, talented staff were being cultivated across the board.
The company’s R&D system alone comprises 90,000 employees, far more than one would see in a “Western” tech company, he said, which may be able to function at a high level with fewer people and more resources, but without Huawei’s tribulations would raise fewer “heroes”.
Earlier this month, the U.S. Department of Commerce further tightened rules restricting the sale of microchips and other technology to Huawei, which effectively banned any company, anywhere in the world, from supplying it with chips unless approved by the U.S.
Regarding the latest round of U.S. hostility towards the Chinese tech company, which the Trump administration has said is based on unspecified security threats and Huawei’s alleged links with the Chinese military, Ren said, “It takes one U.S. government directive, and we have to change thousands of circuit boards, parts, and algorithms. Once we’ve made the changes, we have to do it all again… We end up making changes to our circuit boards on repeat.”
The page has now been pulled down by the network operator which is Orange Slovakia, but a screenshot was taken by Roland Quandt (@rquandt).
The Moto G9 Plus has a 6.81-inch FHD+ display according to the listing. The resolution is 2400 x 1080 and at the top left corner of the screen is a hole in the screen for a single selfie camera.
Other features mentioned are Bluetooth 5.0, VoLTE, Wi-Fi, dual SIM support (nano-only), and Android 10 out of the box. It will be available in Blue, weigh 223 grams, and measure 169.98 x 78.1 x 9.69 millimeters and will sell for €235.
There is a possibility the Moto G9 Plus will arrive in the next few days or few weeks. It should launch in Europe first before making its way to India and the US.
A post on Weibo by the Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station, says the Vivo Watch will be available in two months, which means it should arrive next quarter. He stated he has seen the “male” version of the watch and it has a 46mm dial that houses a color OLED display.
The post also revealed the Vivo Watch has NFC, a heart rate monitor, a blood oxygen monitor, and other standard features we expect in a smartwatch.
Based on the above info, the Vivo Watch will be available in two sizes – a 46mm version and a version with a smaller dial, probably 42mm. The watch will support payments via NFC, so owners can use it for bus payments which is a pretty popular feature in China.
There is still no info with respect to battery life and the OS it will run. Vivo’s sister company, OPPO, launched its own smartwatch a couple of months ago and it runs ColorOS in China while the international variant runs WearOS. Vivo may follow a similar path for its own watch too.
Apart from details about the watch, the leaker revealed Vivo has also begun working on its own line of flat-screen TVs. It appears it will be joining OnePlus in the TV business soon. OPPO is also expected to announce its own smart TVs too as two models with 55-inch and 65-inch screens have been certified in China while their remotes have received Bluetooth certificates.
Huawei did not launch any new products at IFA 2020 like its sub-brand Honor. However, the company does have a few products up in its sleeve waiting to go official for global markets. One of them, HUAWEI Y9a, has now been announced quietly as a tweaked version of HUAWEI Enjoy 20 Plus that was launched in China recently.
It is worth noting that this is not the first time we are hearing about this phone as its name was already mentioned in two separate lists of upcoming Huawei devices and even its promotional poster leaked last week.
HUAWEI Y9a Sakura Pink
HUAWEI Y9a Specifications
The newly announced HUAWEI Y9a sports a 6.63-inch FHD+ (2400 x 1080 pixels) IPS LCD panel on the front with a 92% screen-to-body ratio lacking any notch or punch-hole. That’s because the phone’s 16MP selfie camera sits in a pop-up module.
Unlike the Enjoy 20 Plus which is a 5G smartphone powered by MediaTek Dimensity 720, this one comes with MediaTek G80 SoC paired with 6GB/8GB LPDDR4x RAM and 128GB UFS 2.1 storage based on regions it is sold. If needed, the storage can be further expanded via Huawei’s proprietary NM SD card.
The back of the device features the circular design from HUAWEI Mate30 Pro for the camera arrangement but the sensors are different. Because it comes equipped with a 64MP primary snapper paired with an 8MP 120° ultra-wide unit, a 2MP depth sensor, and a 2MP macro shooter. On the other hand, the Enjoy 20 Plus features a 48MP + 8MP (ultra-wide) + 2MP (macro) triple camera setup.
HUAWEI Y9a Space Silver
The phone runs EMUI 10.1 based on Android 10 with HMS (Huawei Mobile Services). It includes all the necessary sensors such as gyroscope, compass, gravity sensor, ambient light sensor, and a side-mounted fingerprint sensor.
As for connectivity and ports, it supports 4G LTE, dual-band WiFi 5, Bluetooth 5.1, GPS, 3.5mm headphone jack, and USB Type-C. Further, the device will be backed by a 4,200mAh battery with support for 40W fast charging in the Middle East, Africa, and some countries in Middle Asia. Whereas, in other regions, it will feature a 4,200mAh battery and will only support 22.5W fast charging.
HUAWEI Y9a Midnight Black
Talking about size and weight, the HUAWEI Y9a measures 163.5 x 76.5 x 8.95mm in dimensions and weighs 197g. Last but not least, It will be available in three colors namely Space Silver, Sakura Pink, and Midnight Bllack.
Recently we had reported of Rollme Hero which is claimed to be the world’s first full-screen display smartwatch. The official renders indeed elevated the curiosity as none has so far achieved frameless display on a smartwatch. Now it seems, the Rollme Hero, or at least the Rollme Hero Pro is going to be the first to be powered by Snapdragon Wear 4100+ SoC – the new processor for wearables by Qualcomm.
The Rollme Hero Series release should be around the corner as we’ve been seeing a lot of tidbits nowadays. While the real-life product may differ, the renders depict literally no visible frame on the smartwatch making it one of the best looking smartwatches out there.
Snapdragon Wear 4100+ – An Efficient Engine for Smartwatches
If you missed it, the Wear 4100+ is a next-generation connected smartwatch platform based on Qualcomm’s ultra-low-power hybrid architecture. Based on the 12nm manufacturing process, the platform was officially announced in July 2020.
As per Qualcomm, the Wear 4100+ platform comprises of a powerful applications processor and ultralow-power co-processor, which extends its hybrid architecture. It is designed to deliver super-fast performance, and connectivity, a smarter Always-On experience, and extended battery life for next-generation connected smartwatches.
The quad-core Wear 4100+ SoC peaks at 1.7GHz. Perhaps the fastest clock speed ever achieved by a Wear platform by Qualcomm. So apart from the guaranteed efficiency, the SoC should offer the best performance that you can imagine on a smartwatch.
So far, the Rollme Hero packs a bunch to lure the consumers. If the pricing is done on the mark, we could see a lot of users going for it without any second thoughts. What do you guys think?
Last week, Realme released new software updates for the Realme 6 and 6i. The updates made available the Smooth Scrolling feature to both smartphones.

Sony is expected to announce the Xperia 5 II flagship phone on September 17. Ahead of the launch, the rumour mill has been agog with leaks surrounding the specifications and renders of the Xperia 5 II.
Reliable tipster Evan Blass has leaked an official promotional video of the device. The video clip centres on the handset’s multimedia and gaming capabilities. The phone is touted to allow you to enjoy your favourite movies and music and can also handle pretty much everything you throw at it. It is shown to feature a 120Hz screen refresh rate as well as 240Hz touch response time. The Xperia 5 II will also pack dual front-facing stereo speakers and gaming enhancement software that gives you absolute control over the handset during gaming. There is also a 3.5mm audio jack onboard.
The video also flaunts the photography and videography capabilities of the device. The Xperia 5 II can shoot slow-motion 4K videos in 120fps, offers burst shooting with AF at up to 20 frames per second and you can edit videos on the color-accurate OLED screen.
It is already known that Xiaomi has got an under-screen camera phone in the works. The company’s CEO Lei Jun recently released a demo video showing the firm’s perfected third-generation under-screen display in action. Right now, a video of the Mi 10 Ultra having an under-display selfie camera has appeared online.
The video was shared on Weibo with what appears to be a Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra packing an under-display camera (UDC) being compared with a couple of other Xiaomi devices. Xiaomi released the Mi 10 Ultra recently in China to mark its 10th anniversary and the device didn’t feature an under-display selfie camera. The unit in this video which clearly is a Mi 10 Ultra considering the rear camera design may likely be an early prototype that ended up not being mass-produced.
However, there are speculations that Xiaomi may possibly launch this under-display version of the Mi 10 Ultra in October or November. There are also speculations that the Chinese tech giant may alternatively only showcase the model just like the Mi Mix before mass-production commences next year. The source clearly indicated that this is a prototype and won’t be released until next year. Xiaomi also stated earlier that it aims to bring this technology to the mass market next year” (2021.
The industry saw its first commercially launched under-display camera-packing phone in the Axon 20 5G recently. The device was a mid-range model and the samples shot on the selfie camera wasn’t that great. Since it is a mid-range model that doesn’t cost so much, the negative reviews won’t be high. We can’t say the same thing about the Mi 10 Ultra which from all intents and purposes is a flagship model. Xiaomi won’t want to test the waters with an expensive machine. Well, except it is sure that the camera quality is devoid of glare and the output is of flagship quality.
Usually, when you pre-order a new product, you either get it for a lesser price or you get a free gift included. For the new Honor Watch ES, you get both benefits if you were to pre-order.

Alcatel is a brand licensed by Alcatel-Lucent (now owned by Nokia) to TCL. The Chinese electronics company has been launching handsets, tablets, and other related products under this brand for years. However, lately, new launches under the Alcatel brand has decreased since TCL has now begun to launch self-branded phones. Anyway, even if they do, they are mostly exclusive to a particular carrier like the newly launched APPRISE budget smartphone.
Alcatel APPRISE
The Alcatel APPRISE is a $69.99 Android Go smartphone for Cricket Wireless in the US. In a nutshell, it is an entry-level smartphone for basic stuff and well-suitable for seniors.
The device sports a 5.5-inch 18:9 LCD panel with qHD resolution and a 5MP selfie camera above it protected by Asahi Dragontail Glass. Since there’s no notch or punch-hole, the phone has noticeable bezels but that’s fine for its asking price.
Further, the handset is powered by MediaTek MT6739WW SoC paired with 2GB RAM and 16GB internal storage. It also has support for microSD card up to 128GB. The smartphone is even compatible with hearing aids M3 and T3.
The entire external body of the device in Suede Gray color is plastic hosting volume rockers + power key on the right side and a dedicated Google Assistant key on the left side. Whereas, the back of the phone includes a 5MP primary camera accompanied by an LED flash and Alcatel as well as Cricket branding.
The handset’s top also features a 3.5mm headphone jack while a MicroUSB port sits at the bottom to charge the phone’s 3,000mAh battery, On the connectivity front, the device comes with support for 4G LTE, single-band (2.4GHz) WiFi, and Bluetooth 4.2.
As for software, the Alcatel APPRISE runs Android 10 Go Edition and last but not least, it measures 5.76″ x 2.82″ x 0.39mm in dimensions.
Earlier last month, a list of upcoming Huawei devices leaked. One of them was HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro, which the company recently announced to launch on September 10 in China. Ahead of it, this TWS now leaks extensively revealing its design, specs, price, and availability for Europe.
1 of 4
Huawei did not launch any new product at IFA 2020 unlike its sub-brand Honor, which announced new laptops, smartwatches, and tablets for Europe. However, a new leak from Roland Quandt of WinFuturenow suggests Huawei’s new products for the region will be announced in the coming days with sales commencing in October.
One of those products, HUAWEI Watch Fit had already gone official in UAE last week. The other two are HUAWEI Watch GT 2 Pro and HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro. The former was leaked recently and now the latter leaks as well.
According to Roland, the upcoming Huawei-branded TWS’ design will be inspired by Apple AirPods Pro with silicone tips. It will be powered by the company’s in-house HiSilicon Kirin A1 chip, which debuted around the same time last year inside HUAWEI FreeBuds 3.
1 of 4
The new truly wireless earphones from the Chinese telecom giant will come with Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity and ANC (Active Noise Cancellation). Each bud will feature a total of three microphones and a 52.5mAh battery. The size of their drivers is unknown at the moment.
It will be available in three colors namely black, silver, and black. The stems of the buds will be shorter than FreeBuds 3 and will also house HUAWEI branding. Going by the renders, even the charging case will have a smaller footprint than the last year’s model.
1 of 4
Last but not least, the price of HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro will start at €150 in Europe and will be available for purchase in early October.
The Honor Watch ES was announced at IFA 2020 yesterday. A lot of you already know that this is Honor’s version of the Huawei Watch Fit which launched about a week earlier. However, while both watches are near identical and also share several features, there is a key difference between them that you should know in case you plan to purchase any of the two.
While one of the visual differences between the Huawei Watch Fit and the Honor Watch ES includes a red accent on the home button of the latter, a more important difference is under the hood.
This key difference is GPS. The Huawei Watch Fit has built-in GPS which is important for outdoor runs. However, the cheaper Honor Watch ES has connected GPS. What this means is that Honor’s own watch needs to connect to your phone to get location data.
The lack of GPS on the Honor Watch ES should explain why it costs less at €99.99 than the Huawei Watch Fit that launched for AED 399 and has been reported will cost €119 when it lands in Europe.
If having built-in GPS is a must for you, then you may want to pick up the Huawei Watch Fit. But if you don’t mind taking your phone along with you while running, then you can save some money with Honor’s own watch.
Another difference that you should know is the number of workouts supported. The Honor Watch ES supports 10 professional workout modes and 85 customized training modes for a total of 95 while the Huawei Watch Fit has 11 professional workout modes and 85 custom training modes for a total of 96 workout modes. Unfortunately, neither Huawei nor Honor has provided a list of the supported professional modes, so we can’t narrow down the missing sports mode.
The two smartwatches have built-in storage for storing files you can listen to while working out. They also both have a SpO2 monitor, stress measurement, animated workout courses, and can track menstrual cycles.

If you own an Amazfit GTR or Amazfit GTS, then a new feature rolling out to the two smartwatches will allow you to unlock your car with just your watch. Don’t get too excited as it is just not any car but a particular Chinese electric car.
According to a post by the official Huami Weibo account, the Amazfit GTS and Amazfit GTR will be able to unlock the Xiaopeng P7/Xpeng P7. This is an electric vehicle that is touted as the Chinese rival to the Tesla Model 3. A post by ITHome says the feature is now available via a new update rolling out to the two watches.
While being able to unlock your car with your watch is definitely a cool feature to have, this particular one is a niche one as the Xpeng P7 is just one out of the several different types of cars available. So being able to unlock just a particular type of car really narrows down the usefulness of the feature. We are also sure there are only a very very small number of persons that own both the car and either of these watches.
Nevertheless, we won’t rule out the possibility of a similar feature being available for other cars in the future especially those from more popular brands.
OPPO is a well-known smartphone brand in Asia. lately, it has been expanding its product portfolio alongside its sister brands – OnePlus and realme. But unlike those two, the company is yet to launch smart TVs. Seems like it will be happening very soon as the brand’s first televisions have been certified by 3C and Bluetooth SIG.
This is not the first time we are hearing about OPPO TV. Back in June, a day after the launch of Reno4 series in China, the brand shared a picture depicting all the achievements of the company in 5G technology. This image also included all the AIoT products launched by OPPO so far, in addition to an outline of a smart TV.
Now, almost months later, two sizes (55-inch and a 65-inch) of OPPO-branded televisions have received 3C certifications (via MyDrivers). Interestingly, they feature 10 model numbers each.
OPPO TV 55-inch
A55U00B00
A55U00B01
A55U00B02
A55U00B03
A55U00B04
A55U10B00

A65U10B03
A65U10B04
Also, two OPPO remote control with model numbers RC-001D and BRC-004A were spotted on Bluetooth SIG database (via MySmartPrice). This duo could be for the above-listed TVs.
That said, nothing else is known about these upcoming OPPO TVs except for their manufacturer – TPV Display Technology (Xiamen) Co. Ltd. For those unaware, this company owns brands such as AOC, Envision and TV business of Philips. It is also an ODM (Original Design Manufacturer) for many other brands.
Therefore, we can expect good quality televisions from OPPO whenever they release. Also, since there are multiple models, they may debut in global markets at around the same time as China.
Realme 7 Pro is official alongside the Realme 7 and it brings well-balanced specifications at a very affordable price. By realizing it, Realme listened to the users’ feedbacks as most as possible, but did it create the perfect mid-rangers or there is something better in the Indian market? We think there is no better way to understand it than comparing it with the other recent handsets in the same price range. For this comparison, we chose the Redmi Note 9 Pro and the original, newly-announced Oppo F17 Pro dubbed as the sleekest smartphone of 2020. Let’s discover which device deserves to be purchased immediately. Note that the Redmi Note 9 Pro of this comparison is the Indian variant: the global version comes with slightly different specifications (and it is a slightly better device).

Design
OPPO F17 has definitely no rivals in this comparison if we talk about the design. Just think that, alongside the vanilla Oppo F17 it is the thinnest smartphone of 2020: it is just 7.5 mm thin. Further, it is one of the most lightweight handsets of the year: it weighs just 164 grams. It is even available in outstanding color variants. Unlike the Oppo F17 Pro which is entirely made of polycarbonate, the Redmi Note 9 Pro has a glass back and it has a water-repellent body (the Realme 7 Pro is water-repellent too), but the Oppo F17 Pro is still the winner of the design comparison.
Display
Redmi Note 9 Pro loses the display comparison because it sports a classic IPS panel with lower image quality. Realme 7 Pro and Oppo F17 Pro are better with their great AMOLED displays. We did not test the display of the Oppo F17 Pro, but on the paper, it seems better than Realme 6 Pro. In both cases, you get an in-display fingerprint reader, while the Redmi Note 9 Pro has a rear-mounted biometric sensor. Note that with the Realme 7 Pro you get stereo speakers, which are not present on the Oppo F17 Pro and the Redmi Note 9 Pro.
Specs & Software
The best hardware department belongs to the Realme 7 Pro. Both Realme 7 Pro and Redmi Note 9 Pro are powered by the Snapdragon 720G mobile platform, but the former has up to 8 GB of RAM, while the latter stops at 6 GB. Oppo F17 Pro lags behind with an Helio P95 chipset by MediaTek: it has more RAM than Redmi Note 9 Pro, but the chipset is inferior. With Oppo F17 Pro and Realme 7 Pro, you get a similar software experience (Realme UI is based on ColorOS), while Redmi Note 9 Pro has a different Android 10 customization (MIUI 11 out of the box).
Camera
The best camera phone of the trio is the Realme 7 Pro because it features a better main camera on the rear side. We are talking about a Sony sensor with a 64 MP resolution: not the best camera out there, but still better than the 48 MP sensors found on the Oppo F17 Pro and the Redmi Note 9 Pro. Even the 32 MP front camera is the most amazing, despite Oppo F17 Pro has dual front cameras which can calculate depth info in a better way.
Battery
The king of battery life is Redmi Note 9 Pro because it features a bigger 5020 mAh battery. Despite its display is more energy-demanding, it lasts more on a single charge. Right after, we got the Realme 7 Pro with its 4500 mAh unit that reaches a full charge very quickly compared to its opponents’ thanks to 65W fast charging technology.
Price
Realme 7 Pro has an Rs. 20,999 starting price in India, Redmi Note 9 Pro starts from Rs. 13,999, and Oppo F17 Pro costs Rs. 22,990. Despite its bigger battery, there is no way for the Redmi Note 9 Pro to compete with Realme 7 Pro and Oppo F17 Pro, but it has a higher value for money. In my opinion, Realme 7 Pro is the best with its AMOLED display, great hardware, good cameras, and 65W fast charging. But do not forget how sleek, thin and lightweight Oppo F17 Pro is.
