Apr 20, 2020

OPPO recently unveiled the Find X2 Lite smartphone in European markets. It arrived as the rebranded version of the OPPO Reno3 Vitality Edition (Reno3 Youth) 5G phone that debuted in China in February. The Chinese firm had launched the OPPO Reno3 Pro 5G phone in the home market in December. A recent leak had revealed that the company is planning to bring this phone to international markets as OPPO Find X2 Neo. Fresh renders of the two color variants of the Find X2 Neo have surfaced today.

The black model of the OPPO Find X2 Neo shown in the renders below seems to resemble with the Moon Night Black edition of the Reno3 Pro 5G. However, the blue-violet edition seems to be an exclusive paintjob for the global markets as the Reno3 5G was not made available in the same color variant in China. There is no fresh information on the specifications of the Find X2 Neo. Speculations are rife that its specs will be identical with the Reno3 Pro 5G handset.

Xiaomi launched the Mi 10 series of flagship smartphones consisting of Mi 10 5G and Mi 10 Pro 5G in mid-February in China. The handsets then made their way to the European market in late March with a new member called Mi 10 Lite 5G. Now, it seems this device will also launch in the company’s home country as the Mi 10 Youth Edition.

Xiaomi Mi 10 Youth Edition Mi Community China 01

Xiaomi Mi 10 Youth Edition Mi Community China 02

According to IT Home, the Mi Community in China has opened a new discussion thread for ‘Mi 10 Youth Edition’. This clearly indicates the newest version of Mi 10 to soon debut in China. When it does, it will be the second Snapdragon 765-powered smartphone from the house of Xiaomi, the first one being Redmi K30 5G, which just recently received a price cut.

The Mi 10 Lite or Youth Edition (China) comes equipped with a 6.57-inches FHD+ AMOLED panel with an in-display fingerprint sensor. On the back, the phone features a quad-camera setup in a matrix array at the top left corner. The setup includes a 48MP primary sensor paired with an 8MP ultra-wide camera, a 5MP macro unit, and a 2MP depth sensor. Whereas, the front camera is of 16 megapixels which sit comfortably in the dew-drop notch at the top center of the display.

The new Xiaomi device weighs 192 grams and measures 7.98mm in thickness with a 4,160 mAh battery powering it. The phone runs MIUI 11 based on Android 10 and is available in three colour options namely Blue, Black, and White respectively. The handset comes in two storage configurations – 6GB + 128GB and 8GB + 128GB and starts at €349.

Anyway, the Mi 10 Youth Edition may cost lesser in China and may even have a different storage configuration to further lower the price just like what OnePlus did with the OnePlus 8 series price in India.

OnePlus 8 series’ pricing revealed for India; starts at INR 41,999 (~$549)

Apr 19, 2020

OnePlus announced the OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro last week globally and in its home country of China a few days later. However, it failed to reveal the pricing details for India at the global launch event. The prices for the two phones were finally released today at 8 PM IST.

The OnePlus 8 will be available in three variants in India, unlike other countries where it is available in two variants. Below are the variants and their respective prices:

6GB + 128GB (Glacial Green only) = INR 41,999 (~$549)
8GB + 128GB (Glacial Green and Onyx Black) = INR 44,999 (~$588)
12GB + 256GB (Glacial Green, Interstellar Black, Onyx Black) = INR 49,999 (~$653)

The OnePlus 8 Pro, on the other hand, will come in two variants:

8GB + 128GB (Glacial Green and Onyx Black) = INR 54,999 (~$718)
12GB + 256GB (Glacial Green, Onyx Black, and Ultramarine Blue) = INR 59,999 (~$784)

OnePlus has also revealed the price of the OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z earphones. The Bluetooth earphones will sell for INR 1,999 (~$26) At this price and with the features it offers, this should sell like hot cakes.

The OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro are definitely cheaper than the price in the US. Take for example the 12GB version of the OnePlus 8 Pro which is more than $200 cheaper than the selling price ($999) in the US.

The OnePlus 8 series sold in India is definitely manufactured in India which means it should be cheaper than in countries where it is imported. However, phone manufacturers in India have been forced to increase prices recently based on the increase in GST tax on mobile phones. Nevertheless, OnePlus has been able to price its new flagships quite well.

OnePlus says the phones will be available for purchase next month but didn’t specify a date.

Now that the prices have been announced, will you be purchasing the OnePlus 8 or OnePlus 8 Pro? Let us know in the comment box.

The Honor 10X Pro might look like this

Apr 19, 2020

It has been almost a year since the launch of the Honor 9X series in China. A few days ago, Honor revealed it has sold over 10 million units of the device in China. While Honor has not said anything about a successor yet, a render of a phone alleged to be that of the Honor 10X Pro has surfaced on the web.

The alleged Honor 10X Pro has a punch-hole at the top left corner for a selfie camera and has a pretty slim lower bezel.

On the back, the phone has a slim rectangular camera housing that contains three rear cameras and an LED flash. A text written beside the sensors reads “64MP AI Triple Camera”.

The phone is reported to have a Kirin 820 processor, which is what we expect will power the successor to the Kirin 810-powered Honor 9X Pro. The source also mentions the display is an OLED panel supplied by China’s BOE Display, and that the phone supports 20W fast charge. We hope the latter is true because the Honor 9X series disappointingly only supports 10W charging.

Like we mentioned above, this is an alleged render of the Honor 10X Pro, so take it with a grain of salt. While a successor to the Honor 9X series should already be in development, we have heard no official reports yet.

Design

Glass backs, aluminum frames, a punch-hole display, and a premium design: that is what you get with Xiaomi Mi 10, Huawei P40 and Realme X50 Pro. Huawei P40 has a more compact size and it is the only to offer dust and splash protection with its IP53 certification. But in my opinion, Xiaomi Mi 10 is the most beautiful with its curved edge-to-edge display, a single punch hole in the screen and a smaller camera module on the back, as well as a higher screen-to-body ratio. Do you prefer having the best look or a compact phone with a higher build quality?

Display

On the display side, it is a very close fight between Realme X50 Pro and Xiaomi Mi 10. In each case, you get a Full HD+ Super AMOLED display supporting a high 90 Hz refresh rate and the HDR10+ standard. Two great devices for gaming and multimedia, especially if you consider that they both come with stereo speakers. Unfortunately, they do not have the best displays you can currently get on a phone, but they still offer amazing panels. The Huawei P40 has a smaller and inferior display: it is an average AMOLED panel with a standard refresh rate.

Hardware/Software

Thanks to the presence of a Snapdragon 865 chipset paired with up to 12 GB of RAM, Realme X50 Pro 5G and Xiaomi Mi 10 are actually able to provide higher performance. The chipset is simply more powerful than the Kirin 990 found on the Huawei P40. Further, there is more RAM since Huawei P40 only comes with 6 or 8 GB of RAM. On the other hand, you can expand the internal storage of the Huawei P40, while Realme X50 Pro and Xiaomi Mi 10 do not have an expansion slot. The operating system installed is Android 10 customized by proprietary user interfaces.

Camera

The most impressive rear camera department is the one found on the Huawei P40. It includes a 50 MP main sensor with RYYB filter, a telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom, a 16 MP ultrawide lens and dual OIS. But Xiaomi Mi 10 is still a pretty nice camera phone: it lacks a telephoto sensor, but it has an amazing 108 MP main lens that can record 8K videos. Realme X50 Pro wins the front camera comparison since it sports a dual setup including an 8 MP ultrawide sensor. But despite including a telephoto lens, the photo quality provided by the rear cameras can not compete with the Xiaomi Mi 10 and the Huawei P40.

Battery

Xiaomi Mi 10 is the king of battery life with a huge 4780 mAh battery (even bigger than Mi 10 Pro). It is also the only phone from this trio to support wireless charging (with one of the fastest wireless charging technology due to a 30W power) and reverse wireless charging. On the other hand, Realme X50 Pro supports the fastest wired charging technology with a 65W power.

Price

Realme X50 Pro went global with a €599/$651 starting price, Xiaomi Mi 10 starts from €899/$978, and Huawei P40 costs €799/$869 in its base variant. While Realme X50 Pro offers the highest value for money, Xiaomi Mi 10 has the most advanced specs sheet. But if you need the best camera phone, then Huawei P40 is the guy.
