There are so many smartphones in Xiaomi’s 2019 line-up that some of them are cannibalizing each other’s sales, even in the global market. When it comes to the mid-range segment, you currently have a lot of choices for this brand: the latest one is the Xiaomi Mi A3 which belongs to the only Xiaomi’s line-up with Android One instead of the MIUI. But is this phone more valid than all the MIUI-powered mid-rangers released recently and does it have a higher value for money? We think this comparison with Xiaomi Mi 9T and Xiaomi Mi 9 SE is one of the best ways to let you find out. So, let’s discover which one is worth going for depending on your specific needs and which one has the hottest price tag in the global market.

Design

Inside this trio of mid-rangers, each phone has a very attractive design as well as important aesthetic qualities that could let you choose one or another. The Xiaomi Mi A3 has definitely the most stunning glass back with its light effects changing depending on the reflection. Xiaomi Mi 9 SE is definitely less impressive if we only consider its look, but it is the most compact, the thinnest and the most lightweight handset of this trio. Xiaomi Mi 9T is the most futuristic as it sports a higher screen-to-body ratio and a motorized pop-up camera.

Display

If you want the widest display with the most accurate color reproduction as well as a high definition, go for the Xiaomi Mi 9T. It is the perfect mid-ranger for multimedia lovers and productivity users. Right after, there is Xiaomi Mi 9 SE which is still HDR-compliant but it has a way smaller display: just 5.97 inches. Xiaomi Mi A3 has a disappointing panel as it comes with a low-detailed HD+ resolution and a Pentile matrix, so the level of definition is inferior. It is an AMOLED panel, but it is not even HDR-compliant.

Specs & Software

Xiaomi Mi 9T is equipped with the most powerful chipset: the Snapdragon 730, which is also the best Qualcomm’s processor in the midrange segment. If you want a better chipset than Snapdragon 730 in Qualcomm’s line-up, you must go for the 800 series. The Xiaomi Mi 9T is also available with up to 6 GB of RAM, but it lacks a micro SD slot. Xiaomi Mi 9 SE is just one step back with its Snapdragon 712 which is a slight upgrade of the Snapdragon 710 found on a lot of the upper-midrange phones in 2019. Xiaomi Mi A3 has an even less powerful chipset, but it comes with Android One which provides stock and lightweight Android experience as well as longer and faster updates by Google.

Camera

The best rear camera department belongs to both the Xiaomi Mi 9T and Xiaomi Mi 9 SE. Both are equipped with a 48 MP f/1.8 main sensor, a 13 MP ultrawide lens and an 8 MP telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom. If we consider selfies, then Xiaomi Mi A3 is better because it sports an awesome 32 MP snapper on the front side. Xiaomi Mi 9 SE has a slightly better selfie snapper than Xiaomi Mi 9T, especially in low light conditions.

Battery

Xiaomi Mi 9 SE is the thinnest and most lightweight one, but it also has a way smaller battery: that is the price to pay for having the most compact phone. Xiaomi Mi A3 and Mi 9T have 4030 and 4000 mAh batteries respectively, but the former wins the battery life comparison due to its more efficient and smaller HD display.

Price

Globally, Xiaomi Mi A3 launches on July 25 with a €250/$280 price tag. You can find Xiaomi Mi 9 SE at the same price thanks to online street prices, while you need at least €300/$335 for the Mi 9T. Overall, at least until the price of Xiaomi Mi A3 drops to €200/$225, Xiaomi Mi 9T is the best choice with its great display, big battery, better hardware, and good cameras.

Redmi to make an announcement about future products tomorrow

Jul 21, 2019

The Redmi K20 series is still being talked about thanks to its recent release in India but it seems the folks in China are ready to move to the next device scheduled for launch this year.

A Weibo post by the head of Redmi, Lu Weibing, has revealed there will be an announcement tomorrow morning at 10 AM about future products. There is no hint about what tomorrow’s announcement will be about, so your guess is as good as ours.

We do know that Redmi is planning to launch a phone with a Snapdragon 855+ processor but we have a feeling that will come much later since the Redmi K20 Pro is just 2 months old.

We also know Redmi is developing a 5G phone. We have a feeling tomorrow’s announcement may actually be a 5G version of the Redmi K20 Pro seeing as China is already granting manufacturers licenses to sell 5G devices in the country.

Tomorrow is almost here, and by this time we should already know what Redmi has planned.

Leaked Coolpad internal memo reveals plan for new smartphones in September, 5G device too

The last time we heard from Coolpad was last month when it launched the Coolpad Cool 3 Plus in India. It shares a lot of its specs with the Coolpad Cool 9 which launched earlier in June in China. An internal memo has leaked revealing its plans for the rest of the year.

The memo which was addressed to Coolpad employees was written by the company’s CEO, Chen Jiajun. The top executive revealed in the memo that its performance overseas is improving. Its Coolpad Legacy smartphone actually received positive reviews in the US where it is sold by carriers like Metro and Boost Mobile.

He revealed that with the company back on track, they will launch new phones in September, focus on R&D and improving their position in the market, and also enter into the 5G market.

In the memo, Mr. Chen also called for the company to be united irrespective of the challenges they face. Coolpad has actually had a bit of a rough year which has led to some restructuring at the head.

At the beginning of the year, it removed the Vice-Chairman and CEO Jiang Chao, just a few days after he made an appearance at CES 2019. In April 2019, it announced it made a loss of HK$ 409 million for 2018 fiscal year, a significant reduction from 2017’s HK$ 2.67 billion loss. Coolpad also appointed a new head for its Indian arm in June.

The new Indian CEO, Fisher Yuan, who was the former Vice President of Sales and Supply released a statement saying they “plan to disrupt the Indian consumer market by making innovative technology available at extremely affordable price points”. He also said they will launch 5G-ready smartphones in India.

Based on the above statement, we expect some of the new products scheduled to launch in September in China will also find their way to India. We have no info regarding any of the upcoming smartphones but we hope the Coolpad N10 PRO is among the lineup. Following its appearance on the official website in June, we haven’t heard anything new about it.

LG applies for LG M10, LG V60, and LG V70 trademarks

Jul 20, 2019

LG may or may not be planning the launch of a new series of smartphones. Just last month, it announced a new series of affordable smartphones for the Indian market which includes the LG W10, LG W30, and the LG W30 Pro. Now, a trademark application has revealed the name of a new phone called the LG M10.

1 of 3

The application was filed at the Korean Intellectual Property Office and it says the trademark which is “M10” was filed under the Smartphones category. The application was filed on the 8th of July 2019.

While there are reports this may be a new line, we have a feeling this is the LG W10 taking on a new name in LG’s home country. This is not unusual for LG. One phone may go buy one name in one market and by another name in its home country. The LG X6 (in Korea), for example, is the same device as the LG Q60. It is also known as the LG K12 Prime in Brazil.

This is just speculation and the LG M10 may actually be the first of a brand-new series not similar to the W-series.

Apart from the M10, LG has also applied for trademarks for V60 and V70 which obviously are names of future LG V-series smartphones. The latest in the V-series is the LG V50 ThinQ which launched earlier this year. There is a chance we may get an LG V60 ThinQ later this year.

Jul 20, 2019

The Motorola One Action is an upcoming smartphone whose specs and renders leaked back in June. The device is yet to get a release date but it has been spotted on the Android Enterprise website, which may be a hint that the launch is close.

The Android Enterprise listing has some of the specs of the phone and they match those from the leak in June.

The Motorola Action has a punch-hole display that is 6.3-inches in size. It has 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. It also runs Android 9 Pie and has NFC and a fingerprint scanner. These are the specs listed on the page.

The included image confirms the punch-hole display and a tall 21:9 aspect ratio. The phone also has its volume rocker and power button on the right. There is no image showing the phone’s rear but the leaked render revealed it has a triple camera setup.

The Motorola Action has been reported to have an Exynos 9609 processor, a 3500mAh battery and a 12.6MP primary rear camera. It is also expected to come in multiple configurations including a version with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage.

The phone will be Motorola‘s second Android One phone this year but it may not be the last. Evan Blass released the names of two more unreleased Android One phones from the manufacturer. There is the Motorola One Pro whose leaked renders show it has a quad-camera setup on the back. There is also the Motorola One Macro which we know nothing about at the moment.
