Realme will be launching the Realme C15 phone in Indonesia on July 28. The smartphone will be positioned higher than the recently unveiled Realme C11 phone. Realme has already confirmed that the Realme C15 has a 6,000mAh battery with 18W fast charging support. The listing of the phone at Lazada Indonesia revealed its two variants and color editions. A fresh report on Playfuldroidhas revealed some other details like the processor and camera configurations of the Realme C15.
According to the publication, the Realme C15 is powered by the Helio G35. The same processor fuels the Realme C11 phone. The C11 features a 13-megapixel + 2-megapixel dual-camera system. The upcoming Realme C15 has four cameras on its back.
The C15’s quad-camera setup is comprised of a main camera of 13-megapixel, a superwide sensor of 8-megapixel, a macro lens of 2-megapixel, and a depth assist sensor of 2-megapixel. It could be featuring a 5-megapixel front camera.
There is no information available about the display of the Realme C15 yet. The official renders of the phone have revealed that it has a waterdrop notch screen. There is a possibility could be sporting the same 6.5-inch IPS LCD panel available on the Realme C11. It is already known that the Realme C15 will be available in two models such as 3 GB RAM + 64 GB storage and 4 GB RAM + 64 GB storage. The pricing of these models is not known yet.
The Realme C15 has a rear-positioned fingerprint scanner. The phone will be available in Indonesia in two colors such as Seagull Grey and Marine Bluet. There is no word on the names of the other markets that will be receiving the Realme C15 smartphone.
Realme is gearing up to introduce its first Realme V-series phone called Realme V5 in China. Recently, the 3C authority of China approved two smartphones with model numbers RMX2121 and RMX2111 / RMX2112. The images of RMX2121 appeared at TENAA last month, but the listing is yet to be populated with its specifications. It was incorrectly speculated as the upcoming Realme V5 phone. Now that the Realme RMX2111 / RMX2112 has appeared at TENAA with full specs, it can be said that it could be the forthcoming Realme V5 phone.
The RMX2121 TENAA images suggest that it has a 6.55-inch punch-hole AMOLED display with an in-screen fingerprint sensor. The screen of the device is expected to support a high refresh rate. It is rumored to house a 4,500mAh battery and its 3C certification revealed that it may ship with a 65W fast charger.
The Realme RMX2111 / RMX2112 phone that appeared on TENAA has an LCD panel with a punch-hole design. It has a side-mounted fingerprint reader. Its 3C certification revealed that it could be coming with a 30W rapid charger. The design of the Realme RMX2111 / RMX2112 matches with the appearance of the Realme V5. Hence, the upcoming V5 phone seems to have an RMX2112 / RMX2112 model number.
The Realme RMX2111 / RMX2112 5G’s TENAA listing reveals 162.2 x 75.1 x 9.1mm dimensions and 194 grams weight. It will come in colors like black, gray, green, and silver colors. It houses a 20:9 aspect ratio supporting a 6.5-inch FHD+ LCD display. It has a 5,000mAh battery (4,900mAh rated capacity).
Realme V5
The 2GHz SoC that fuels the alleged Realme V5 could be Dimensity 800 5G. It may come in 6 GB / 8 GB RAM editions and 64 GB, 128 GB, and 256 GB storage options in China. Other specs of the phone include a 16-megapixel front camera, a 48-megapixel + 8-megapixel + 2-megapixel + 2-megapixel quad-camera setup, and a microSD card slot.
As far as the Realme RMX2121 is concerned, it may also end up as a Realme V-series phone as its appearance is similar to Realme V5. Probably, it may debut as Realme V5 Pro.
Xiaomi India recently unveiled the Redmi Note 9 smartphone in India. It is a rebranded version of Redmi 10X 4G available in China.

The Surface Duo was certified by Bluetooth SIG last year in October. However, it has appeared once again ahead of its impending release. The new listing shows that the device carries support for Bluetooth connectivity.
The FCC listing of the Surface Duo revealed some support for main LTE bands of the U.S. It also revealed support for Wi-Fi 802.11ac. While NFC was mentioned in the FCC documents, it is unclear whether the device will support it. The Surface Duo was found to be loaded with Android 10 OS.
The Surface Duo that will arrive as Microsoft’s first Android product has a pair of 5.6-inch AMOLED displays that offer 1350 x 1800 pixels resolution and 4:3 aspect ratio. The device is said to be powered by the Snapdragon 855 mobile platform and 6 GB of RAM.

Other features of the Surface Duo include microSD card slot, nano-SIM slot, fingerprint reader, 3.5mm audio jack, and support for Surface Pen.
Samsung is expected to announce the Galaxy S20 Fan Edition by the end of this year. It is unclear whether the device will be called Galaxy S20 Fan Edition or Galaxy Fan Edition. However, it seems certain that it will not be called Galaxy S20 Lite. Last week, reliable tipster Ishan Agarwal had shared key details of the smartphone. Earlier this week, a South Korean publication shared some vital information on its camera configurations and pricing. A new report on Dutch publication GalaxyClub.nlclaims that the Galaxy S20 Fan Edition has a 4,500mAh battery.
The Galaxy S20 Fan Edition will have a 4G edition (SM-G780) and a 5G model (SM-G781). According to the publication, the model number of the S20 FE’s battery is EB-BG781ABY. Its rated capacity is 4,370mAh. The battery of the Galaxy S20 Plus also has the same rated capacity. Hence, it can be said the typical value of Galaxy S20 FE’s battery is 4,500mAh.
The publication has further stated that the Galaxy S20 Fan Edition will be arriving in colors like red, white, green, and orange. A South Korean publication had recently reported that the device could be priced around $750 in the home market. This pricing is $100 more than that of the predecessor Galaxy S10 Lite smartphone. The company is expected to ship 5 million units of the Galaxy S20 Fan Edition by end of this year.
Galaxy S10 Lite’s successor may launch as the Galaxy S20 FE
The rear-facing triple camera setup of the S20 FE will have a 12-megapixel wide-angle lens, a 12-megapixel ultrawide shooter, and an 8-megapixel telephoto sensor with 3x optical zoom. The S20 FE will have a 32-megapixel front camera. The IP68 certified handset will also feature a 3.5mm audio jack.
Earlier this year, OPPO unveiled the OPPO Watch as its first smartwatch. Debuting next week on July 31 is the updated version of the OPPO Watch. Fresh information (viaEngadget) reveals that the updated OPPO Watch will come preinstalled with Wear OS by Google.
The OPPO Watch that went official in May this year was made available mainly in China. It came with ColorOS Watch, but the updated edition has Wear OS onboard. The promotional GIF released by the company confirms it. While the updated OPPO Watch is all set to get an official announcement in the coming week, it seems to have already gone official in Germany.
The OPPO Watch that debuted in Germany is loaded with some Google apps such as Google Assistant and Google Pay. Its Chinese variant came with Breeno assistant and Ali Pay. It has a 1.6-inch AMOLED display with curved edges. The screen produces 360 x 360 resolution and it is protected by Gorilla Glass 3.
The Snapdragon Wear 2500 and the power-efficient Apollo 3 chip powers the new OPPO Watch. It has 1 GB of RAM and a built-in storage of 8 GB of RAM. The smartwatch has a 300mAh battery. In low power mode, the device can last for up to 14 days.
The new OPPO Watch can track various kinds of activities such as running, swimming, and cycling. It supports sleep tracking, heart rate monitoring, menstrual cycle tracking, ECG, and sedentary reminder. It debuted with a price tag of 249 euros.
The OPPO Watch will debut in India on July 31. The Reno4 Pro smartphone will also go official alongside it. The Reno4 Pro 5G that debuted in June in China was a Snapdragon 765G powered 5G phone. The Reno4 Pro coming to India is a 4G variant driven by Snapdragon 720G.
Earlier this month, a rumour emerged that LG was planning to release several 5G smartphones including the LG Q92 5G. That rumour is gathering traction as an LG model listed as Q92 has appeared on Google Play Console (via Gadgets Rewind). As usual, the Google Play Console listing includes a front render of the device. The render reveals the presence of a centrally placed single punch-hole which will house the selfie camera.
As per the listed details, the LG Q92 will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 765 chipset. The mobile platform is a fast mid-range ARM-based SoC. It is one of the first chipsets that integrate a 5G modem- the Snapdragon X5. The modem brings support for speeds of up to 3.7 / 1.6 Mbps (down- and upload) and mmWave and Sub-6. The processor also features the Adreno 620 GPU. The SoC will be paired with 6GB of RAM but we can’t say if that will be the base model.
The smartphone’s display will have an FHD+ resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels but the screen size is still unknown. Further, the Q92 will boot Android 10 OS out of the box.
LG is yet to officially release any details of the upcoming model. However, the Q92 5G is believed to be a cheaper alternative to the well-received LG Velvet 5G. If that be the case, we may likely see the smartphone launched soon.
Huawei’s TalkBand series are quite unusual devices. They are a line of Bluetooth headsets that can also be worn on the wrist as a fitness tracker. Or you can say they are fitness trackers that double as Bluetooth headsets. Either of the two explanations suffice. A new model called the TalkBand B6 has leaked on Weibo and it packs really interesting upgrades.
Photos of the retail box and that of the TalkBand B6 itself and a short hands-on video were posted on Weibo yesterday by a user that goes by @看山的叔叔, providing a first look at the latest model of the series.
1 of 3
The TalkBand B6 is shown as having a larger AMOLED display than its predecessor, the TalkBand B5. The screen displays quite a lot of info such as the time and date, calories burnt, heart rate, weather, steps taken, distance walked/ran, and battery level. There are also multiple watch faces as seen in the video below.
In one of the images of the retail box, the device is shown sporting a red silicone strap while in the other image it has a black silicone strap. The live photo shows the band with a leather strap. We are pretty sure there will be different designs and materials to choose from for the strap of the TalkBand B6 including metal. While some of these straps may be made by Huawei, a large percentage will be made by third-party manufacturers.
The source says the TalkBand B6 has a Kirin A1 chip inside it. This is the same chip inside the Huawei FreeBuds 3. The chip brings advanced Bluetooth (Bluetooth 5.2), powerful audio, an independent power management unit, and an ultra-low-power application processor.
Other specifications mentioned include a 1.53-inch flexible display with anti-glare glass on top, a Hall sensor, a metal frame, voice assistant, remote camera feature, real-time motion data detection, and FIRSTBEAT™ professional sports guidance.
There is no info regarding the release date of the TalkBand B6 but it should launch first in China before a global release. The new model is coming more than two years after the launch of the TalkBand B5.
Huawei revamped its tablet line when it announced the MatePad Pro last year. The series now includes a 5G version of the MatePad Pro, a standard MatePad, and the entry-level MatePad T8. It turns out that Huawei will not be sticking to just the MatePad line for its tablets as a listing on Vmall has revealed it will also retain its C-series line of tablets. The new listing is for the Huawei C5 10 2020 and its specs are similar to those of the MatePad.
The Huawei C5 10 2020 has a 10.4-inch screen with a resolution of 2000 x 1200. The screen is surrounded by bezels of equal thickness that measure 7.9 millimeters.
The tablet is designed to be used in landscape mode which explains why its power button and front-facing camera are placed in “unusual positions”. When held in portrait mode, the power button is at the top of the device while the camera is on the right bezel. The volume rocker sits not close to the power button but on the right side of the tablet when held in portrait mode.
Powering the Huawei C5 10 2020 is the Kirin 810 processor and it is paired with 4GB of RAM. Buyers will be able to choose between having 64GB and 128GB of built-in storage.
There is an 8MP camera on the back of the device with an F2.0 aperture while the selfie camera is another 8MP F2.2 sensor. The tablet has support for dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.1, and a nano-SIM for the LTE version. It also has stylus support and Huawei’s Histen Audio technology.
Inside the tablet is a 7250mAh battery that charges via a USB-C port. The spec sheet doesn’t say but it should have support for 18W fast charging like the MatePad. The tablet will ship with EMUI 10 out of the box.
The Huawei C5 10 2020 will be available in Night Ash (Nightfall Gray) only with three configurations to choose from. Their prices are listed below:
Wi-Fi 4GB + 64GB = ¥2299 (~$328)
Wi-Fi 4GB + 128GB = ¥2699 (~$385)
LTE 4GB + 64GB = ¥2699 (~$385)
There is no info on when it will be announced yet but you can sign up on the Vmall page to be notified when it is available for purchase.
With the launch of Android 10, Google dropped the tradition of naming the new version of Android after a dessert or sweet. The same will apply to its successor which will simply be called Android 11. However, the VP of Android, David Burke has revealed that the new version of Android actually has an internal codename.
Speaking on the podcast, All About Android, the executive revealed that Android 11 is referred to as “Red Velvet Cake” among his team. However, he clarified that it will not be used officially or any public branding. For those who don’t know, Android 10 actually had the internal codename “Quince Tart”.
Image Source: XDA-Developers
It is sad that Google decided to forego naming new versions of Android after sweet treats. The tradition was one of the things that excited Android users and the thrill of having to guess what the name is was also part of the fun.
Android 11 is expected to be released as a stable version in September. The new version of Android will brings native screen recording, a revamped power menu, ability to revoke permissions from apps that haven’t used them in a while, and the ability to increase touch screen sensitivity which should be useful for those who use screen protectors.
The most awaited gaming phones of the year are finally official. Yesterday, Asus and Lenovo launched their new gaming phones on the same day. We are talking about Asus ROG Phone 3 and Lenovo Legion Duel, both offering flagship-class specifications, gaming-centric features, and several innovations for the niche. While we wait for them to be both available in the global market, we think it is time to compare their specifications in order to let you understand which is the better gaming phone for you. After checking the comparison, you can let us know if you agree with our opinions by using the comment box below the post.
The Lenovo Legion Duel looks very gorgeous for gamers because it has been designed with landscape usage in mind. It packs a side-mounted pop-up camera which can be used for live streaming during gaming sessions, as well as a rear camera placed at the center of the phone so that the player cannot touch them while playing games. But the Asus ROG Phone 3 does not joke with its two ultrasonic gaming triggers which can split into two different keys. The Asus ROG Phone 3 has dual USB-C ports as well and it even supports more external accessories than Lenovo Legion Duel. You can get the AeroActive Cooler to improve its performance in long gaming sessions, the Kunai 3 controller, a gaming clip for console controllers, a TwinView Dock with a secondary screen, and rugged cases compatible with the cooler. With both the devices you get a desktop mode to play on external monitors.
Display
With Asus ROG Phone 3 and Lenovo Legion Duel, you get an AMOLED display with a diagonal above 6.5 inches, a Full HD+ resolution, the HDR10+ certification, and a very high 144 Hz refresh rate which you can tune to match the perfect compromise between smoothness and energy consumption. With the Asus ROG Phone 3 you even get a DCI-P3 coverage above 100% and 1 billion colors, so the Asus ROG Phone 3 looks slightly better.
Specs & Software
Asus ROG Phone 3 and Lenovo Legion Duel are powered by the new Snapdragon 865+ mobile platform by Qualcomm which offers a 10% performance boost to CPU and GPU compared to the previous Snapdragon 865. The SoC is paired with up to 16 GB of RAM and up to 512 GB of internal storage. The storage is UFS 3.1, and the RAM is LPDDR5. You get very similar performances with these devices, and in each case, we are talking about top-tier flagships when it comes to the hardware department. Their user interfaces contain very interesting customizations for gamers.
Camera
On the paper, the rear camera department of the Asus ROG Phone 3 looks better than the Lenovo Legion Duel. The phone packs a 64 MP triple camera including an ultrawide sensor and a macro lens which is able to record videos in 8K resolution. But for gamers, the side-mounted front camera might be a lot more useful than a normal selfie camera like the one included in the ROG Phone 3 (for live streaming).
Asus ROG Phone 3 offers a longer battery life simply because it has a bigger battery (6000 mAh vs 5000 mAh). On the other hand, Lenovo Legion Duel can be charged a lot faster thanks to its 90W fast charging technology. If you use both its USB-C ports to charge the phone, you can fill it in just 30 minutes. Note that the 90W fast charging tech is only for the 16/512 GB configuration, while the other variants get either 65W or 45W fast charging, which is still a lot faster than the 30W fast charging tech found on the ROG Phone 3.
Price
Asus ROG Phone 3 starts from €899/$1042 (€799 for the Strix Edition with Snapdragon 865), while we still do not know how much the Lenovo Legion Duel will cost in the global market (it begins at $500 in China). I would personally go for the ROG Phone 3 because of its huge battery and external accessories, but at the end of the day, we can not pick a definitive winner of this comparison because it mostly depends on the user’s needs.
Asus ROG Phone 3 vs Lenovo Legion Duel: PRO and CONS
The Galaxy Note20’s spec sheet leaked yesterday and it revealed the phone will come in three colorways. While the leak included images of the Mystic Bronze and Mystic Bronze variant, the Mystic Green variant was missing in action. Now, a render of the green variant has surfaced on the web.
The render was posted on Twitter by Roland Quandt (@rquandt) and he confirms again that the phone will be available in both 4G and 5G variants. The phone has a Mint (Green) paint job with a matching S Pen. The color looks really good and may as well be my favorite of three variants.
The Galaxy Note20 will pack a 6.7-inch FHD+ 60Hz Super AMOLED display with a Snapdragon 865 Plus or Exynos 990 processor. It will have 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage in Europe while other markets should get it in other configurations.
Samsung has put triple rear cameras on the back in a 12MP + 12MP + 64MP configuration with up to 30x digital zoom. The phone will also have a 4300mAh battery with support for fast wired and wireless charging. It will also have NFC, Bluetooth 5.0, Wi-Fi 6, and AKG-tuned stereo speakers.
Ever since Xiaomi announced MIUI 12 in late April, it has been seeding out weekly beta updates to almost all the eligible devices in the company’s home country. Additionally, the firm has been also releasing stable beta as well as stable builds to a number of handsets worldwide. Currently, the smartphone maker has begun to roll out MIUI 12 stable update to Mi 9 SE, Mi CC9 Pro, Redmi 10X and Redmi 10X Pro in China.
The Mi 9 SE is the oldest phone out of these four devices to receive MIUI 12 stable update. However, the builds are based on Android 10 for all the handsets. It is worth noting that the two Redmi phones launched with latest Android out of the box, whereas the world’s first smartphone with 108MP camera got this update in May.
As for MIUI 12 update, as all of them have AMOLED display, they also get support for new AOD+ along with Super Wallpapers. Further, the stable update for both the Mi devices come with build number 12.0.1.0, whereas the build number for Redmi devices is 12.0.2.0.
Having said that, it is not sure when the same update will be available for the global version of Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro (Mi Note 10) and Mi 9 SE.
Despite the myriad of challenges the US is throwing Huawei‘s way, the Chinese company has continued to blaze the trail in terms of smartphone market share. Research firm TrendForce project that the Chinese company will lead the 5G smartphone market this year against all odds.
5G development has been rapid in China due to the government’s aggressive approach in proliferating 5G base stations and network coverage across the country. Thus, 5G rolled out in China earlier than in other countries. This also resulted in Chinese smartphone manufacturers releasing 5G phones earlier than competitors. Chinese OEMs hold a 75% share in the global 5G smartphone market in 1H20.
TrendForce indicates that, aside from the various Android-based smartphone brands, Apple’s new models will also join the ranks of 5G smartphones. Given the total smartphone production forecast of 1.24 billion units in 2020, 5G handset production is expected to reach 235 million units, an 18.9% penetration rate.
Chinese brands are expected to occupy four out of the top six spots of 5G smartphone brands ranked by production volume. An analysis of the projected top six smartphone brands ranked by 5G smartphone production volume shows Huawei firmly sitting in the first place. Huawei has shifted its focus to the domestic Chinese market under the impact of U.S. sanctions and in preparation for China’s active 5G commercialization efforts. The company is expected to produce about 74 million 5G smartphones this year.
Apple’s yearly 5G smartphone production is expected to total about 70 million units in 2020, which lands the company in second place. However, 5G functions will increase the production cost of smartphones accordingly. If Apple decides to directly reflect this added cost on the retail prices of the iPhone 12 series, it may lower its consumers’ willingness to purchase, in turn affecting the sales performances of the new iPhones.
Samsung has been experiencing setbacks in the Chinese market in recent years. Although these setbacks have not seriously affected its global market share and revenue, they have considerably slowed Samsung’s growth in the 5G smartphone market. Samsung’s 5G smartphone production this year is forecasted at 29 million units, placing the company in third place globally. Vivo, OPPO (including OnePlus, OPPO, and Realme) and Xiaomi are tied for fourth place.
As Huawei’s aggressive domestic expansion in the past few years has compressed the market shares of the three brands in the Chinese market, they have been actively focusing on increasing overseas market shares to maintain their yearly production performances. Vivo, OPPO, and Xiaomi’s yearly 5G smartphone production volumes are projected to reach about 21 million, 20 million, and 19 million units, respectively.
Mid-to-low end 5G chipsets released by AP suppliers are expected to raise the penetration rate of 5G smartphones in 2021. MediaTek is expected to lead this push with the company rumoured to announce its low-end 5G chipset later this month.
Taiwanese tech company ASUS has unveiled the ROG Phone 3 in Taiwan. This is coming just a day after the smartphone was launched for the European and Indian market.

The Mircosoft Surface Duo is one of the most anticipated devices of 2020. The Redmond-based company showcased it first in October of 2019. It is expected to release sometime in Holiday season of this year. Since its initial unveiling, the product has been officially teased multiple times, in addition to being spotted on certification bureaus. Now, the dual-screen device makes its appearance on FCC as well, which is usually considered as the last hurdle before launch.
The upcoming Microsoft Surface Duo listing on FCC was first spotted by Droid Life According to the publication, the Federal Communications Commission tested both the screens of the device along with its hinge. As usual, the bureau also tested the device’s network capability.
Although one of the tests mentions NFC, Windows Central reports that retail units will not have support for tap and pay. Also, it notes that it could be made available for purchase before the Holiday season as the confidentiality agreement is until October 29. That’s because, after this date, FCC will publicly release the pictures of the Surface Duo along with its manual and Microsoft surely don’t want its product to get leaked ahead of the official release.
According to previous leaks, the first Android device in the Surface lineup will be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 SoC paired with 6GB RAM and up to 256GB internal storage. It will spot dual 5.6-inch 1800×1350 resolution AMOLED displays with 401 ppi and 4:3 aspect ratio.
Other features include single 11MP camera, fingerprint sensor, USB Type-C port, nano-SIM card slot, support for Surface Pen, Android 10, and a 3,460 mAh battery.
OnePlus destroyed the mid-range segment by launching its first mid-range phone after years: the OnePlus Nord. A lot of people are waiting for it to go on sale all around the world to get a complete 5G phone at an affordable price, but is it really the best choice of its segment?

Design
The OnePlus Nord provides the most premium design. It is equipped with a glass back and it has a punch-hole display, as well as a smaller camera module for a more elegant look, in my honest opinion. Moto G 5G Plus has a dual punch hole as well, with two separate holes instead of a pill-shaped hole. But it has a full plastic body, that is why we do not consider it as the most premium device of this comparison. The Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite is less attractive with its waterdrop notch and it is nothing so special in terms of build quality.
Display
Besides coming with the best design, OnePlus Nord is also equipped with the best display. It is an AMOLED panel with a 6.44-inch diagonal, the HDR10+ certification, and a high 90 Hz refresh rate. It has all the features you would expect from a high-end display. The Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite has an AMOLED display too, but it lacks a high refresh rate. The Moto G 5G Plus has a 90 Hz refresh rate, but it lacks an AMOLED panel. OnePlus Nord provides both, that is the simple reason why it is better in terms of display. Unfortunately, you do not get a 3.5 mm audio jack on the OnePlus Nord, while the Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite and the Moto G 5G Plus have it.
Hardware/Software
At least in its most expensive configuration, OnePlus Nord provides the most advanced hardware side. It is fueled by the Snapdragon 765G paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS 2.1 native storage. You get all the power of 5G and very high performance, even though we are still far from real flagships. Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite has a Snapdragon 765G chipset, but just 8 GB of RAM in its higher-end variant. Moto G 5G Plus has a weaker Snapdragon 765 offer slightly inferior CPU and GPU performance than the SD765G. OnePlus Nord and Moto G 5G Plus run Android 10 with a nearly-stock user experience, while Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite has a highly-customized user interface (MIUI 11).
Camera
OnePlus Nord gets the gold medal even for its camera department. It is the only device from this trio to feature OIS for better stabilization. Further, it has better front cameras including a 32 MP main sensor and an 8 MP ultrawide secondary sensor. Moto G 5G Plus and Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite are very close when it comes to cameras, at least in regards of the rear camera setup. On the front side, the Moto G 5G Plus is more interesting since it features a dual ultrawide front camera.
Battery
The bigger 5000 mAh battery of the Moto G 5G Plus makes it a true battery phone able to last two days even with intensive usage. This is the real advantage of the Moto G 5G Plus compared to its rivals. The Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite should be slightly better than OnePlus Nord due to its standard refresh rate, but only testing their software optimizations will give us the definitive answer.
Price
In the global market, OnePlus Nord and Moto G 5G Plus are priced €399/$464 in their base variants, while Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite starts from €369/$429. Despite Moto G 5G Plus provides a way longer battery life, OnePlus Nord wins this comparison thanks to its better display and cameras.
Earlier today, it was revealed that Realme will be launching a new series of smartphones with the first model arriving as the Realme V5. The announcement included a poster that shows the device, giving us an early look at the design. now some of the specifications of the phone have leaked.
Shared on Weibo by Digital Chat Station, the Realme V5 will have a 6.5-inch 2400 x 1080 display with a hole punch in the top left corner. The device will have a high refresh rate according to the source but it is not specified whether it is 90Hz or 120Hz.
The device will be powered by a 2.0GHz processor which will bring 5G support. The name of the processor is not mentioned but our guess is that it is the Dimensity 800 processor from MediaTek.
Coming to cameras, Realme is said to have put a 16MP camera in front for taking selfies while the rear of the phone is home to a 48MP quad-camera setup that also includes an 8MP camera and two 2MP sensors.
