Samsung is reportedly working a cheaper version of the Galaxy Note 10. The rumored Galaxy Note 10 Lite has a model number of SM-N770. The said device has appeared on Geekbench benchmarking platform to confirm that it will be powered by Exynos 9810 chipset. The S Pen stylus that will accompany the SM-N770 phone has received certification from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the U.S.

The 1.79GHz Exynos 9810 is present under the hood of the SM-N770F smartphone. Samsung has used the same chipset in 2018 to power the Galaxy S9, Galaxy S9+ and Galaxy Note 9.

Galaxy Note 10 Lite Releasing Next Year?

The FCC certification of the S Pen for Galaxy Note 10 Lite reveals that it is a Bluetooth enable device and it features gyroscope. The latter will bring support for Air Actions (air gestures) on the Note 10 Lite. Its dimensions are identical with that of the S Pen that ships with Note 10 Lite as it measures 5.80 x 4.35 x 105.18mm.

The FCC documents of the S Pen has its external photos. Unfortunately, it is withheld until May next year. This could be a hint the Galaxy Note 10 Lite that is speculated to debut in December may actually break cover in the coming year. If it goes official in May 2020, it will be arriving well after the Note 10 series that went in August and around three months after the Galaxy S11 series that will be unveiled in February. Hence, the Galaxy Note 10 Lite seems to be Samsung’s strategy of boosting its sales by mid-2020.

Apart from the specs revealed through Geekbench, very few details are known on the specs of the Galaxy Note 10 Lite. The smartphone may continue to sport an Infinity-O notch display like the Galaxy Note 10 models, and it may come with a native storage of 128 GB.

Arriving as Galaxy A81 in Some Markets?

Recently, Sammobile had claimed that the South Korean company may rebadge the Galaxy Note 10 Lite as Galaxy A81 in specific markets. The publication claimed that the SM-AN815F is the model number of the Galaxy A81. Samsung is known for denoting its Note series of phones with letter N in their model number. For instance, the Galaxy Note 10 has SM-N970 model number and the Galaxy Note 9 has SM-N960 model number. Hence, the inclusion of letter ‘N’ in Galaxy A81’s model number suggests that it could ship with an S Pen stylus and it could be a rebranded Note 10 Lite.

Xiaomi CEO says that gross profit margin of just 8-9% makes Mi phones so competitive

Today, while announcing the third quarter financial results of this year, Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun explained why the company’s smartphones are cost-effective. He says that the company has a gross profit margin of just 8 percent to 9 percent, which makes the company’s devices cost-effective.

He believes that the costing of the smartphones will get more outrageous and the devices will become expensive as the industry is moving towards 5G technology. However, he adds that compared to others, Xiaomi’s price-performance ratio will be better.

Xiaomi CEO, Lei Jun
Lei Jun, Founder and CEO of Xiaomi Group

Lei Jun said: “I think the gross profit margin of 8% -9% is very low and since our sales model is based on e-commerce sales, the pricing that the end customer ends up paying will buy will be very cheap. The most important thing is that our own gross profit is very Low, and the middle channel is very short, so the final price in the retail market remains very attractive to the buyers.”

He further reiterated that the company will be continuing with the same sales strategy going forward in the 5G phase as well. This makes sense given that the current model of the company seems to be working fine.

Coming to the financial data for the Q3 2019 shared by the Xiaomi Group, the company’s total revenue for the said quarter stands at RMB 53.7 billion, which represents an year-on-year increase of 5.5 percent — making it the highest quarter since Xiaomi’s establishment.

The company reveals that its adjusted net-profit was RMB 3.5 billion which shows year-on-year increase of 20.3 percent, exceeding the market expectations. The total combined net profit of the company for the first three quarters of this year stands at 9.2 billion yuan, exceeding the total net profit of the last year.

Huawei Mate 30 Pro launching soon in UAE as pre-orders go live on December 1

The launch of the Mate 30 series coincided with news that Google won’t give Huawei license to use the official Android with Google Services. This was as a result of the trade ban which the US government imposed. Despite the restrictions, Huawei did announce recently that it had sold 7 million units of the Mate 30 series. Most of the units would definitely have been sold in China but the flagship model was also released in limited quantities in some countries. The United Arab Emirates will soon join the countries where the Mate 30 series have gone official.

Huawei has confirmed via a teaser on its official UAE website that the Mate 30 Pro will be available for pre-order on December 1. The teaser also suggests the company will make an announcement on that day, possibly revealing the launch date. You can even register your email address to get notified when the pre-order opens on Sunday. The teaser also reveals the Mate 30 Pro purchase will come with additional perks which include an extended warranty, screen protection, smart view flip cover or SuperCharge wireless car charger.

The Mate 30 Pro is undoubtedly an amazing smartphone both in terms of the design ad hardware. It is powered by the home-brewed Kirin 990 chipset but the snag is that it doesn’t ship with official Google Services.

Zhao Ming: Honor not joining 108MP camera trend; to focus on hardware and software combination

The Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro/Mi Note 10 launched as the first phone with a 108MP camera sensor. The phone now sits at the top of DxOMark’s smartphone camera ranking alongside the Huawei Mate 30 Pro. Next year, more phones with a 108MP sensor should launch but do not expect one from Honor.

The president of the Huawei sub-brand, Zhao Ming, said at a press conference that the company will not be joining the bandwagon. He explained that the improvement of mobile photography isn’t limited to just more pixels but a combination of hardware and software.

Zhao Mind - Honor not joining 108MP camera trend

He also cited some disadvantages of the 108MP sensor. First, he said there is a delay when you take a photo due to the high resolution of the camera. He said this delay of a few seconds is unacceptable. Another disadvantage he mentioned is the size of the photos. They take up more space which means storage quickly gets used up.

For future Honor phones, the focus will be on pushing the combination of software and hardware to the extreme for a better camera experience.

Vivo iQOO Neo version with SD855+ benchmarked by Master Lu

Last year, Vivo took the industry by surprise when it announced a new iQOO series which is made up of gaming smartphones. The iQOO Neo 855 is the latest model but it will soon get a touched-up variant soon. The variant which adopts the model number V1936AL has just appeared on the database of benchmarking outfit Master Lu.Vivo iQOO Neo official poster

The initial iQOO Neo model launched some months back had the model numbers V1936A/V1936T. The original model also lanched with a Snapdragon 845 chipset and was later followed by a Snapdragon 855 version. This new version is shown to pack a Snapdragon 855+ chipset.

Recall that this same Vivo V1936AL model was earlier spotted on TENAA where it was certified. The images accompanying the certification showed the device won’t have any differences in design from the iQOO Neo 855.

Recall that the Vivo iQOO Neo 855 was announced back in October at an affordable price tag of 1998 yuan ($283) for its 6GB + 64GB variant. The phone has a special limited edition as well in China called the Vivo iQOO Neo 855 ‘Flying Horse of Gansu’ edition.

Huawei’s sub-brand announced the Honor V30 flagship line-up yesterday and launched it in the Chinese market on which pre-orders will start on December 5. The new series comes two months after the new Huawei’s flagship line-up Mate 30 and just a few days after the launch of the Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro. Honor V30, Mate 30 and Mi CC9 Pro are amazing camera phones available at modest prices, but they are very different devices suitable for people with different needs; that is why we decided to compare their specifications and let you know which is the most interesting.

Design

The Honor V30 has a very attractive design thanks to its punch-hole display which does not include a notch but still has very minimal bezels. But not everyone might like the huge rectangle-shaped camera module on the back. If you are one of these people, then you may like the Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro more. It offers a notched but borderless display with elegant curved edges, as well as a cleaner glass back. Huawei Mate 30 is less beautiful due to its bigger notch and bigger dimensions, but it is dust resistant and splash resistant, and it even supports 3D facial recognition.

 

Display

Each of these phones will not have an excessive price, that is why not all of their components are flagship-class. On the Honor V30, the weak point is the display. It is not a high-end OLED panel but an average IPS panel. Not that it does not provide a good image quality, but Huawei Mate 30 and Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro are both superior. They both come with an AMOLED display supporting a high DCI P3 coverage and HDR10. Huawei Mate 30 has a wider panel, perfect for productivity. Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro has curved edges, something you can love or hate.

 

Hardware/Software

Huawei Mate 30 wins the gold medal when it comes to hardware. It has the same Kirin 990 chipset found on the Honor V30, but in a slightly more advanced variant built with a 7 nm+ production process. It even supports 5G connectivity thanks to an integrated 5G modem. Further, it offers up to 8 GB of RAM and a very fast UFS 3.0 internal storage. Unlike the Honor V30, it has an additional slot to expand the internal storage. Honor V30 takes the silver medal since it still comes with Kirin 990 that is a flagship chipset, while Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro has a midrange Snapdragon 730G mobile platform and it does not support 5G.

 

Camera

The best camera is on board of the Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro which is the world’s first phone (after the expensive Mi Mix Alpha) to sport a 108 MP camera. On the rear side, it has a Penta-camera with 5x optical zoom, a dedicated macro camera, an ultrawide sensor and, as mentioned above, the astonishing 108 MP Samsung sensor capturing an amazing level of detail. In the second place, we find the Huawei Mate 30 with its 40 MP triple camera including a telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom and OIS. Honor V30 seems to have a better selfie camera: a dual setup with 32 and 8 MP lens (including an ultrawide sensor).

 

Battery

The huge 5260 mAh battery found on the Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro makes it one of the best battery monsters out there. The phone lasts a lot more than Honor V30 and Huawei Mate 30. But, unlike the Huawei Mate 30 which still delivers a great battery life, it does not support fast wireless charging as well as reverse wireless charging.

 

Price

Honor V30 hitten China with a €425/$468 starting price, Huawei Mate 30 starts from €510/$560, and Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro starts from €360/$396. Overall, Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro is a very interesting device due to its higher camera capabilities, but I would personally go for the Huawei Mate 30 due to its better chipset, reverse wireless charging, dust and splash protection, 3D facial recognition, and stereo speakers, even though its design is not the best, according to my tastes.

Blackview A80 Pro shows up in unboxing and benchmark video

The new Blackview A80 Pro is going to go on open global sales on November 29th for just $79.99  and that probably makes it the best VFM smartphone out there as it comes with a quad-camera setup featuring a Sony® 13MP quad-camera. Quite nicely, Blackview released an unboxing and hands-on video of the device so that you can see it in action before its official release. What’s even more impressive is that -besides the charger- you also get a pair of earphones, a case, and a screen protector in the box! Let’s check out the video.

As you can see, the A80 Pro scores 99.720 points on the AnTuTu benchmark v8.1.4 and that’s an excellent score for a less-than-$80 smartphone. But besides the benchmark score, real-life performance like gaming seems smooth and fluid. The Blackview A80 Pro runs on Android 9 Pie and is powered by the MediaTeK Helio P25 Octa-Core SoC backed by 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage.

Blackview A80 Pro

What makes it stand out among other budget phones is its Sony® IMX258 13MP quad rear camera. Also, it sports a 4680mAh big battery despite its 8.8mm slim body. That battery should last more than a day on a single charge. In terms of cellular coverage, it supports global LTE network bands, which makes it suitable for travelers or businessmen.
