5G networks are still in an early stage in most of the world and most of the users still do not need a 5G phone. That is why several smartphone manufacturers are still launching smartphones without 5G. They allow to cut costs and they carry more affordable prices. After releasing Oppo Reno3 Pro 5G, Oppo also launched a 4G version of its latest high-end device, then the company made it available to pre-order for the Indian market. We still do not know its price, but we got most of its specifications and we can compare it with the concurrence. We chose the Poco X2 and the Redmi K20 Pro for this comparison because we believe they are the greatest deals in India in a similar price range.

Design
Oppo Reno3 Pro and Poco X2 come with a dual punch-hole design, while Redmi K20 Pro comes with a notch-less and borderless display thanks to a pop-up camera. While the front side of the Redmi K20 Pro looks more futuristic because it is hole-less when it comes to the rear side I personally prefer the Oppo Reno3 Pro because it is more minimalistic. Further, the Oppo Reno 3 Pro is a thinner device. But tastes play an important role in such a decision: all of these devices are built with premium materials and they have a premium design, despite they are not top-tier flagships.
Display
The most attractive display is undoubtedly the one found on the Oppo Reno3 Pro. It has a higher refresh rate, a great AMOLED panel, a high DCI-P3 coverage, and a very high brightness. Redmi K20 Pro has a high color accuracy, but it comes with a standard refresh rate. The Poco X2 has a higher refresh rate than Oppo Reno3 Pro (up to 120 Hz) but it has a classic IPS panel and it does not feature an in-display fingerprint reader. Oppo Reno3 Pro has a more complete display.
Specs & Software
The hardware department is the strongest point of the Redmi K20 Pro. It is the only with flagship-grade hardware composed of a Snapdragon 855 chipset, up to 8 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of internal storage. Both Oppo Reno3 Pro and Poco X2 are just mid-rangers. The SoC model of the former is still unknown (it is rumored to be an Helio P95), while the second is fueled by a Snapdragon 730G chipset. Oppo Reno3 Pro and Poco X2 have Android 10 out of the box, while Redmi K20 Pro is older and it ships with Android Pie. But it still wins the specs comparison.
Camera
Oppo Reno3 Pro is an advanced camera phone and it wins the camera comparison. It is the only handset of this trio to feature OIS, as well as the only with a telephoto sensor carrying the support for optical zoom. It even comes with a useful monochromatic sensor instead of the classic depth sensor found on most of the midrange devices. Last but not least, it has one of the best front cameras out there: a dual setup with a 44 MP main lens. The specifications of the secondary sensor are still unknown.
Battery
With a 4500 mAh, the Poco X2 is the best battery phone here. But the Oppo Reno3 Pro has the fastest charging technology: with a 30W power and VOOC Flash Charge 4.0, it reaches 50 percent of charge in just 20 minutes.
Price
We still do not know how much Oppo Reno3 Pro will cost in India. Poco X2 has an Rs. 15,999 / €205 / $222 starting price, while Redmi K20 Pro costs about Rs. 23,290 / €300 / $325 in its 6/128 GB configuration. There is not a universal winner of this comparison: you should go for the Oppo Reno3 Pro if you want the best camera and the most interesting display, Redmi K20 Pro is the only with flagship-level performance, and Poco X2 has the longest battery life. Overall, Oppo Reno3 Pro looks slightly more interesting.
A research report by Strategy Analytics has forecasted a surge in the number of 5G smartphones by 2020. The report predicts that global shipments of 5G-enabled phones will peak at 199 million shipments worldwide. This will translate to an estimated 15% of all smartphone shipments. This is a huge leap from the 1% market share enjoyed by 5G phones in 2019.
5G will be at the forefront of new technologies
The report also estimates that China, the United States, South Korea, Japan and Germany will account for 90% of all 5G smartphone sales. This is, no doubt related to the roll-out of 5G services in those countries.
Strategy Analytics equally recognised that the deadly Coronavirus epidemic presently ravaging some parts of China will have an effect on 5G phone shipments. Of particular interest, is the disclosure that most of the shipments will happen in the second half of 2020 as the first half will witness slower than expected shipments for smartphones supporting the next-gen network standard.
In addition, the report recognised India and Indonesia as the two important markets lagging behind in 5G adoption rates as they are not expected to have mass-market 5G networks for at least another year.
Apple recently launched its new true-wireless earbuds named AirPods Pro, which comes with the much anticipated active noise cancellation feature. However, it seems that the tech giant isn’t done yet and is set to launch a new version of AirPods Pro.
Taiwan-based publication DigiTimes has shared a preview of its upcoming story to its subscribers in which it continues to claim that Apple is planning to launch a new version of the AirPods Pro.
In the story preview, the publication writes: “USI likely to enter supply chain of AirPods Pro, sources say: Taiwan-based Universal Scientific Industrial (USI), a unit of ASE Technology, is likely to obtain system-in-package (SiP) orders for the upcoming AirPods Pro, according to industry sources.”
It seems that the upcoming AirPods Pro models are the same that the publication had previously referred as AirPods Pro Lite. This means these are entry-level earbuds and will be priced lower than the current AirPods Pro available in the market.
However, there’s no information available about the specs and features of the AirPods Pro Lite. The report further claims that the production for the same is likely to begin by the end of Q2 2020 or later given the current situation in China because of coronavirus outbreak.
We are not sure if the company will call the upcoming earbuds “AirPods Pro Lite” which doesn’t make sense as it has both “Pro” and “Lite” in its name. However, the essence of the report is that an affordable variant of the Apple AirPods Pro with similar sound design, quality will launch, but without active noise cancellation.
Currently, there’s nothing much known about this upcoming product but if the report is true, we expect to know more about the device in the coming weeks.
Renowned smartwatch maker Mobvoi has launched a new watch – the TicWatch Pro 2020. The TicWatch Pro lineup was first introduced last year and later in the year, Mobvoi introduced an upgraded version with 4G LTE connectivity. The TicWatch Pro 2020 comes with several upgrades over the past cycle including expanded RAM, presently going up to 1 GB of RAM rather than 512 MB of RAM. It’s additionally progressively tough, being evaluated MIL-STD-810G for protection from shock, dust, water, and extraordinary weather conditions. It’s IP68-rated and can stay inside the water of depth up to 1.50m for close to an hour.
As for the watch itself, it’ll come in two hues – Shadow Black and Liquid Metal Silver. The strap is made from calfskin or skin-friendly silicone, while the screen is protected by a layer of Gorilla Glass 3. It retains a 1.39-inch AMOLED FSTN Touch Screen with a resolution of 00 x 400 pixels. The case is made of Polyamide and Glass Fiber while the bezel is made from Stainless Steel. the watch has a diameter of 45mm and is 12.6mm thick, weighing in at 58.5g.
One major drawback to this upgraded model is that it still utilizes the old Snapdragon 2100 processor. Since this is an upgrade, we expected it to come with a newer SoC. Yes, the improved RAM may help with execution, however easily overlooked details like battery life would have profited from an improved processor.
The TicWatch Pro 2020 is already available to buy on Amazon and goes on sale on Mobvoi’s website from the beginning of March. It is priced at $259.
OnePlus reached out to us saying that this news was false. They have not canceled the offline launch event for the OnePlus 8.
“Reports of cancelling an offline launch event due to coronavirus are false. OnePlus has a history of hosting online and offline events, globally.” – OnePlus
Original story as follows:
The businesses of various tech companies have been affected due to the COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak in China. Smartphone OEMs in China have decided to hold online-only launch event. In the previous week, Xiaomi had held an online launch conference for the Xiaomi Mi 10 series. Upcoming flagship phones from Redmi, Realme, iQOO and other brands are expected to get unveiled through online launch events. OnePlus founder and CEO Pete Lau has stated on Weibo that OnePlus will not be able to host a large offline launch event in the next few months. Hence, he is seeking ideas from OnePlus fans on holding a creative online launch conference.
The COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak have resulted in shipping delays and cancellation of the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2020 event. Like other smartphone brands, OnePlus seems to be gearing up to unveil the upcoming OnePlus 8 series through an online livestream event. In the past, OnePlus had online only launch events for its smartphones. In June 2017, OnePlus had held an online launch event to announce the OnePlus 5 and few years ago, the OnePlus 2 event was unveiled through a VR livestream.
The OnePlus 7 and OnePlus 7 Pro smartphones were made official in May 2019. A recent report had revealed that the Chinese manufacturer may launch the OnePlus 8 series earlier this year. It is speculated that the lineup includes OnePlus 8, OnePlus 8 Pro and OnePlus 8 Lite smartphones. It is speculated that the OnePlus 8 lineup will be made official in late March or April. Probably, this could be the company’s strategy to build a wider gap between the OnePlus 8 and the OnePlus 8T series that is expected to arrive in the second half of the year. The OnePlus 8, 8 Pro and even the Lite edition may come in a new green color variant.
The OPPO A31 smartphone had gone official in Indonesia in the last week. The handset is now selling in the country with a price tag of IDR 25,99,000 (~$190). Fresh information shared by 91mobiles reveals that the OPPO A31 will be debuting in India in the coming week. The publication has shared an image of a promo for the OPPO A31 phone for India. It carries some of the key specs and details on the launch offers for Indian audience.
The leaked poster reveals the two color variants of the OPPO A31 smartphone for India. Indonesia had received the smartphone in Fantasy White and Mystery Black color variants. It also states that the A31 will be arriving in the country in two models such as 6 GB RAM + 128 GB storage and 4 GB RAM + 64 GB storage. Ther pricing of these two variants are yet to be revealed. Indonesia has received the phone in a single version that feature 4 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage.
The poster states that the OPPO A31 phone is equipped with a 6.5-inch waterdrop notch screen. The rear side of the phone features with an AI triple camera setup. The launch offers include cashback offers from ICICI Bank, Yes Bank, Bajaj FinServ, benefits worth Rs. 7,050 from Jio and more. OPPO India is yet to confirm on the arrival of the smartphone. While the publication claims that the phone will be launching in India next week, the exact launch date is yet to be revealed.
The OPPO A31 phone offers HD+ resolution of 720 x 1600 pixels along with a tall aspect ratio of 20:9. It promises a screen-to-body ratio of 89 percent. The phone is driven by Helio P35 chipset. The Android 9 Pie OS along with ColorOS 6.1 comes preloaded on the device. There is a microSD card slot onboard for additional storage.
It has a front camera of 8-megapixel and its rear shell is fitted with a 12-megapixel + 2-megapixel + 2-megapixel AI triple camera setup and a fingerprint reader. The phone is packed with a 4,230mAh battery and it supports only 10W charging.
The OnePlus 8 models are presently the subject of leaks as OnePlus preps a launch. However, DxOMark has just reminded us that the company launched a couple of models a few months back – the OnePlus 7T and 7T Pro. The OnePlus 7T Pro camera has just been reviewed by DxOMark and surprisingly, the score is on par with the OnePlus 7 Pro’s camera score when it was benchmarked a couple of months earlier.
OnePlus 7T Pro DXO Mark
The OnePlus 7T Pro recorded a general score of 114, equivalent to the OnePlus 7 Pro. The two smartphones sport precisely the same camera configuration, so bodes well, albeit one would anticipate that the 7T Pro should have a slight favourable position due to coming out as an upgrade. In this case, the latest isn’t the best.
The two models share a photograph score of 122, in spite of the fact that there are a couple of fluctuations— the 7 Pro improving with noise, and the 7T Pro being a bit better in the wide-angle and night scene captures. The OnePlus 7 Pro shockingly earned a superior video score (98) versus the 7T Pro (96).
OnePlus launched the OnePlus 7 Pro and OnePlus 7 in the first half of 2019. The OnePlus 7T Pro and OnePlus 7T were unveiled later in the year, yet with jobs turned around. DxOMark’s review puts some more accentuation on OnePlus’ choice—the OnePlus 7T Pro simply doesn’t offer enough over the OnePlus 7 Pro. We do hope the company will do better this year.

Samsung has just announced the Galaxy S20 series. It is the South Korean tech giant’s 2020 flagship lineup but is yet to start officially shipping to customers. However, a new patent suggests that the company is already working on the Galaxy Note 20 lineup, which is due to launch later this year.
BBK subsidiary OPPO has already confirmed that it will be launching the Reno3 Pro smartphone without a 5G modem in India soon. The launch date has been set for March 2 but before then, the model has reportedly gone up for pre-order across various retailers in India including e-tailers such as Amazon and Flipkart.
The non-5G Reno3 Pro pre-order is offered with a free gift of an Oppo wireless speaker for the first 1,000 customers who make a downpayment for the purchase. Another 1,000 customers will get the chance to win wireless Oppo Enco earbuds with active noise cancellation or complete damage protection for the device.
The OPPO Reno3 Pro in question is different in some aspects of the design apart from the absence of a 5G modem. Official teaser point to the presence of a dual punch hole for the selfie cameras, with one of the shooters being a 44 MP camera. The display also seems to be a flat panel as against a 2.5D curved panel on the 5G version. Some leaked specs suggest an Helio P95 chipset and up to 12 GB RAM, as well as 30W fast charging.
Last year, Huawei introduced the Android 10 OS based EMUI 10. It is the latest custom skin from the company but it seems like the next iteration, EMUI 10.1, is just around the corner as well.
Historically, Huawei has launched two OS versions in a single year ever since the P20 series was launched. The first was the EMUI 8.1 which succeeded the EMUI 8 (Android 8 Oreo). Similarly, EMUI 9.1 followed the EMUI 9 and was launched for the Huawei P30 series. Going by the same chain of reasoning, the P40 series is also expected to arrive with EMUI 10.1.
Huawei P40 Renders (Reported)
As of right now, no official announcement has been made regarding EMUI 10.1. In other words, it may not be launched but it is likely that it will. And if it is launched, the P40 series is probably the one that will receive the new software. For those unaware, EMUI 10 is based on the Android 10 OS. Meaning, its UX design and user interface is similar to the features provided by Android.
Notably, it is unknown what new improvements or changes EMUI 10.1 will bring to the table but if it is similar to EMUI 10, then it will also bring various performance enhancers. The current version of the Huawei custom skin brings GPU Turbo technology, which improves graphics, alongside Link Turbo (enhances network speeds by up to 70 percent) and more. In terms of memory, EROFS super file system also enables the Android platform to rear data faster by 20 percent and Ark Compiler smoothens third party applications by 60 percent.
Currently, EMUI 10 is still being rolled out for various Huawei smartphones and has yet to be more widely available. Unfortunately, we will have to wait and see if the Chinese tech giant’s launch event to confirm anything. So stay tuned for the conference and more information regarding the P40 series.
The GSM Association (GSMA), the organisation responsible for hosting the Mobile World Congress recently announced the cancellation of this year’s edition due to the COVID-19 epidemic that emanated in China. Although the event is held annually in Barcelona, there were concerns in different quarters as regards cross-transmission and already, some of the top firms like Samsung, NVIDIA, Vivo, Sony, Amazon had announced they won’t be attending the event. However, the cancellation came as a surprise to some due to the fact that GSMA had until the last minute assured that the event would hold.
While exhibitors who had already made plans to unleash their latest products were still trying to recover, GSMA has dealt them another blow by informing exhibitors that no refund will be issued. Instead, the association referred them to a clause in their terms and conditions that absolves the GSMA of liability.
Clause 21.10 of the Standard Terms and Conditions for Exhibition, Advertising, and Sponsorship, reads as follows;
The Organizer shall not be liable to the Company for any losses, costs, damages or expenses (whether incurred under contract, tort or otherwise) suffered or incurred as a direct or indirect result of an event beyond the control of the Organizer, including without limitation, any act of God, disease or epidemic, strike, lock-out, industrial disturbance, failure of suppliers, act of public enemy, war, labor dispute, terrorist act, blockade, riot, civil commotion, public demonstration or governmental or local authority restraint nor shall the Organizer be liable to refund any fees.
The company also disclosed that it is working on ‘a proposal’ designed to make the best of a bad situation and maintain good relations between the GSMA and its MWC commercial partners, which it expects to share by the end of March. The company also added that it’s a not-for-profit organisation and that it finds itself in a precarious financial position as a result of the cancellation. The last has definitely not been heard of this matter. We’ll keep you updated when any new development crops up.
In an interview, the new CEO of HTC, Yves Maitre, has stated that 2020 will be an important year for the company. According to the senior executive, developments in various fields and opportunities will occur in the Taiwanese market, especially in regards to 5G network and virtual reality.
In 2020, HTC will focus more on visual based content which will be driven by applications connected by 5G. However, the company will not solely focus on just providing content and has confirmed that it will also launch its first 5G enabled smartphone. Unfortunately, finer details regarding HTC’s first 5G handset are still unknown and the interview never delved deeper into the specifics.
Furthermore, it is also been revealed that HTC will work closely with Qualcomm, the chipmaking giant, to launch premium grade flagship smartphones. Although it is unclear if a series launch is planned with a mid range smartphone alongside a high end model being released. Similarly, the company is planning on focusing on development in virtual reality as well. With its HTC Vive Series and Vive Cosmos series, the company plans to grow its mixed/virtual reality offering; emphasizing on augmented reality too.
HTC expects significant growth in this field in 2020. In the interview, Yves Maitre stated that the company will provide the best application solution for optimal experiences. In other words, HTC will provide both the hardware and software to enable a smooth VR experience. At the moment, both virtual and augmented reality are growing in popularity but still suffer from a great lack of applications on the software side.
HTC Vive Cosmos
Thus, the company will work to provide on the market gap first and refine its supplementing hardware accordingly. HTC’s new Cosmos Elite, HTC VIVE Cosmos Play, HTC VIVE Cosmos XR, and VIVE Sync will all launch soon and are expected to be unveiled in San Francisco, USA, in March 2020. During the Game Developer Conference 2020 (GDC), other visual based content and applications can also be expected in collaboration with various game developers.
Lenovo Xiaoxin has launched a new notebook laptop in China. The Lenovo Xiaoxin Air 14 2020 is the next generation model and comes as the first notebook product equipped with NVIDIA GeForce MX350 graphics card. The Nvidia GeForce MX350 is a dedicated entry-level mobile graphics card for laptops. It was released in February 2020 and is based on the same CGP107 chip with 640 shaders as the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 for laptops.
The Xiaoxin Air 14 2020 is equipped with a 14-inch display having a resolution of 1920×1080 pixels. The display comes with features such as 100% sRGB color gamut and DC dimming. The screen also has a matte design which gives it an anti-glare design. There is equally a front physical privacy camera.
On the processor, the Lenovo Xiaoxin Air 14 2020 is equipped with a tenth-generation Core i5-1035G1 processor and Core i7-1065G7 processor in some models. Both SoCs are quad-core SoCs and have an eight-thread design. The i7 version has a maximum frequency of 3.9GHz and 16GB on the memory as well as dual-channel DDR4 4300MHz memory.
With the NVIDIA GeForce MX350 graphics card onboard, gaming performance has increased by 20% compared to the MX250. Image processing performance has equally doubled. Video processing performance has increased by 2.7 times. However, since the graphics card is an entry-level one, we don’t expect the laptop to be able to handle heavy gaming graphics.
Other specifications include a 56.5Wh battery which delivers up to 12 hours of battery life. The laptop has a function activated by the Fn + Q buttons. It can be used to switch between energy-saving, intelligent and beast modes.
The laptop is lightweight at 1.39Kg and has a thickness of 16.9mm. It comes with a white comfortable backlit keyboard. The fingerprint sensor is integrated with the power key. You also get two USB 3.1 Gen 1 interfaces, a full-size SD card socket, a full-featured Type-C interface, an HDMI interface and a headphone jack.
As for the price, the Lenovo Xiaoxin Air 14 2020 models are priced as follows;
Core i7-1065G7 version with 16GB + 512GB is priced at 5899 yuan ($838).
The Core i5-1035G1 version with 16GB + 512GB costs just 5099 yuan ($725). The laptop will go on sale on February 27.
Oppo was initially expected to unveil the Find X2 during MWC 2020 in Barcelona. But the abrupt cancelation has led to no announcement of the smartphone to surface. Now, a new report suggests that the Chinese tech giant is still on track with the launch which will apparently take place on the 6th of March 2020.
The first quarter of 2020 is always bustling with multiple launches from various different OEMs. The Mobile World Congress which is held during this time also serves as a platform for high end launches and reveals. However, since the cancelation of the event due to the recent Coronavirus outbreak, many OEMs have to now resort to independent promotion. Previously, Oppo had set a separate date of 22nd February after MWC got canceled, for the launch of the Find X2, but it seems that the date has been pushed further back.

Oppo Find X2 is the highly anticipated successor to the original Find X and is expected to feature a similar futuristic design. It was also one of the first smartphones to feature a sliding mechanism (pop up camera), which also gave it a unique aesthetic. Thus, the Find X2 is a much hyped launch from Oppo at the moment.
The first iteration packed top notch specs to back up its special design and was a well received product. Hence, the Find X2 is also expected to arrive with notable specs as well, including a 2K OLED panel with a refresh rate of 120Hz and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 865 5G SoC. According to leaked specifications, the device will feature a 6.5 inch AMOLED panel with Corning Gorilla Glass 6 protection.
Under the hood, Qualcomm’s flagship chipset will be found alongside 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. In terms of battery, a large 4,065mAh battery pack with support for fast charging will be featured as well. Other specifications include details regarding the camera, with a 48 megapixel primary sensor, 8 megapixel ultra wide angle lens, and a 13 megapixel telephoto lens. The selfie shooter is reportedly a 32 megapixel camera.
Unfortunately, this is just an unconfirmed leak and we will have to wait for an official announcement or the launch event to provide concrete statements. If Oppo does launch the Find X2 in the first week of March, it will be around the same time as Oppo’s Reno 3 launch in India. So stay tuned for future coverage of both smartphones.
Vivo has just announced the Vivo Z6, which is a 5G smartphone. The device will go on pre sale on 29th February 2020 and will target the mid range segments. While specs regarding the smartphone had already been revealed, the company unveiled additional information about its battery and charging capabilities earlier today (21st February 2020).
Vivo Z6 arrives with a large 5,000mAh battery which supports up to 44W fast charging
For those unaware, Vivo Z6 features Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 765G SoC with the X52 5G Modem. Since the handset is 5G enabled, battery life does become a concern. Thus, the smartphone is powered by a large 5,000mAh battery pack which also supports 44W fast charging.
According to official notes, the Vivo Z6 is capable of charging up to 30 percent in just 14 minutes thanks to the ultra flash charging. Furthermore, in just 35 minutes the device can reach 70 percent charge while a full charge in 65 minutes.

Huawei launched its Vision Smart TV lineup in China in 2019. And the company confirmed today that it will add a new Enterprise-grade Smart Display to the lineup at its Feb. 24 virtual press conference in Barcelona, Spain. This move would put it in competition with the likes of Microsoft’s Surface Hub 2S Whiteboard for enterprise users.
The company’s teaser video confirms some of the features on the device. First, the smart display will be portable as Huawei is offering a rollable stand for the display. This enterprise-grade Vision TV will focus on four core features: Team Ideas, Remote Collaboration, Smart Interaction, & Enterprise Applications. So this means the smart display will offer features like teleconferencing between teams and probably touch screen interactions too. The display will be powered by the company’s own HarmonyOS, the same platform that runs on its other consumer-grade Vision TVs in China.
In the teaser video, Huawei also confirms seamless collaboration between laptops and mobile devices. Given that this is an enterprise-grade solution, we may expect support for 5G too. However, it’s yet to be confirmed. The video also confirms a camera on board, which is also found on its consumer-grade Vision TV models in China.

To recall, the Huawei Vision TV is a smart device that’s powered by the Honghu 818 quad-core processor based on Cortex A73 with a quad-core Mali-G65 GPU handling the graphics. The smart TV comes in three sizes: 55″, 65″, and 75″ and features a 65W speaker unit on board. The pop-up camera onboard the 75-inch Huawei Vision TV model supports 1080p 30 fps video calls. For connectivity, you get 5GHz Wi-Fi dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0 & Bluetooth LE along with HDMI 2.0, coaxial, and USB 3.0 ports.
We can expect upgraded connectivity specs for this upcoming enterprise-grade Huawei Vision Display. According to the teaser video, this smart display will offer similar functionality to the Microsoft Surface Hub 2S that was launched last year.
The launch of the latest entry in the Black Shark series of gaming smartphones is just around the corner. At the moment, finer details regarding the device are still unknown but certain regarding its battery has been revealed.
According to Luo Shao, the CEO of Black Shark, the company is looking to strike a balance between the battery capacity and charging power of the smartphone. In other words, a careful process is being undertaken to keep the charging and discharging rate in mind. Since the Black Shark 3 will feature 5G network, the strain on the battery life will also be noticeable. Thus, the company is planning on improving both battery capacity and charging rates while specifically designing a heat dissipation design for the smartphone
Furthermore, the senior executive started a vote on “which combination with charging rates, battery capacity and discharging rates do users prefer in a 5G gaming smartphone.” He offered four different configurations, that are:
Similarly, the Chief architect of Black Shark went on to add that 5G gaming smartphones require more complex and dedicated power systems over those of other flagships. It is true to some degree considering the power draw and heats the newer and faster bandwidth is capable of causing. The chief event even heavily implied to vote for the 65W + 5,000mAh battery variant, which all but confirms the configuration Black Shark will offer.
Exec took a poll to find out the preferred battery + charging combo
A company generally never offers options with numbers or specs that are greater than what will eventually be offered, so it’s safe to expect that the Black Shark 3 will sport a 5,000mAh battery that supports 65W fast charging. Additionally, other leaks and reports have revealed that the gaming smartphone will support SA and NSA dual mode 5G as well. The display is expected to feature 2K resolution and offer a 120Hz refresh rate.
Black Shark 2 pro
Under the hood, the Black Shark 3 will likely feature the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 SoC paired with the X55 5G modem. For memory, an LPDDR5 flash chip alongside UFS 3.0 is expected as well. Going by the popular flagship features, Wi-Fi 6 may also be included along with NFC. Notably, due to the ongoing epidemic caused by the Coronavirus outbreak, the smartphone will be launched during an online live streaming event.
Last year, Google had announced its own take on the gaming world with the Stadia, an online game streaming service. Although, as hyped as the service was, the lack of many features and an unsteady launch had Stadia receive a lot of criticism. But, Google is still holding strong with constant updates and fixes and is adding more smartphones in its compatibility list, one of which is expected to be the Asus ROG Phone 3.
When Google had initially launched the Stadia platform, which was envisioned to be a cross electronic device service, it only supported the Pixel smartphones. However, since then the tech giant has announced more compatible handsets. One of the latest inclusions is with Asus’ gaming smartphone, the ROG Phone 3. The Republic of Gaming device is dedicated to mobile gaming, so it makes sense that both Asus and Google are collaborating to preload the smartphone with Stadia.
While the online game streaming service from Google is paid, a free tier is expected to be launched within the next few months. The move alongside the growing smartphone compatibility list arrives to make the service better compete with its upcoming rivals. Microsoft with its xCloud, Sony with the PlayStation Now and the one that threatens Google the most, GeForce Now from Nvidia, which is officially out of beta.
Asus ROG Phone II
With so many upcoming services, Google will have to make its online gaming platform a lot more accessible and bring in many game developers as well. Unfortunately, it is unknown when Asus ROG Phone 3 will launch, the gaming smartphone is expected to arrive before the end of 2020. Notably, ROG Phone II already supports Google’s Stadia, although it does not arrive with the service preloaded.
