The Xiaomi Mi 9 launches tomorrow and there will be a version with a whopping 12GB of RAM. That version has been spotted on Geekbench and it appears it was benchmarked a few hours after the 8GB RAM version today.
Benchmarked as the “Mi 9 Transparent Edition” and first spotted by Mysmartprice, the device runs Android 9 Pie. It has 12GB of RAM and its codename is “cepheus” too just like the 8GB RAM version. However, its scores are a bit lower.

The Mi 9 Transparent Edition scored 2982 points in the single-core test and 10382 points in the multi-core test. A second benchmark result shows the device scored 3047 points in the single-core test and 10,688 points in the multi-core test.
The Mi 9 Transparent Edition will come with a see-through glass back that lets you see the wireless charging coil and a printed version of the phone’s internals. It will also have an improved primary camera than the regular variant.
With the announcement of the Vivo U1, the Chinese company owned by BBK Electronics inaugurated a brand new series of affordable smartphones for the Asian market. We do not know if it is a case or not, but the handset carries the same model name as one of the latest affordable devices from Vivo sister company: Oppo. We are talking about the Realme U1, that belongs to a sub-brand of affordable devices launched by Oppo in 2018. Here, we will compare the new Vivo U1 with the Realme U1 and one of the latest super affordable devices launched recently: the Moto G7 Play by Motorola.

Design
Design and build quality are among the key features of the new Vivo U1 and I personally choose it as the winner of the design comparison. It has a very high screen-to-body ratio because it features a waterdrop notch and a narrow tri-borderless design, as well as a pretty narrow chin. Further, it comes in three wonderful gradient hues. Last but not least, it is one of the few devices under $150 to be waterproof. It comes with the IP58 certification. The second place for the design goes to the Oppo Realme U1, while for the build quality I prefer the Moto G7 Play due to its splashproof body. It is also a very compact device due to its smaller screen.
Display
The resolution is the most important thing when it comes to displays of affordable devices. And the Realme U1 by Oppo is the only smartphone among these ones to have a Full HD+ resolution, so a way higher level of detail. The display is also better overall for other parameters, so it easily wins this comparison. It also comes with the biggest display. Moto G7 Play is pretty interesting, though, because it has a small 5.7-inch display that is more suitable for people who often manage to use their phones with one hand.
Specs & Software
If we consider the chipset only, then Moto G7 Play is a more performing phone than Vivo U1. But it comes with just 2 GB of RAM, that is not much for heavy apps and multi-tasking and it does not allow the Snapdragon 632 to show its full potential. Despite its lower-end chipset, Vivo U1 has up to 4 GB of RAM, that is why I define it better. But the best is definitely Oppo Realme U1 because it sports up to 4 GB of RAM and a much more powerful chipset than both Snapdragon 439 and 632. We are talking about the Helio P70, that is currently the best offer by MediaTek and one of the most powerful midrange chipsets. We do not consider it at the same level as the Snapdragon 670 and 710, but it is definitely worth a try in this price range.
Camera
Vivo U1 and Realme U1 are equipped with a dual camera setup, but this does not mean that they can click better photos. Indeed, despite having a single camera, Moto G7 Play shots better photos in most of the light conditions when it comes to detail. Its opponents are only better at capturing depth info, but it is not enough to over-class the great Moto G7 Play. Realme U1 wins when it comes to the front camera due to its high resolution, bright shots, and a great AI algorithm. But note that Moto G7 Play has a front-facing LED flash and allows taking selfies in the dark.
Battery
Vivo U1 is a battery champion because of its low-end, efficient components and its huge 4030 mAh battery. Such a capacity for an entry-level device is gold and it can make it last up to three days with an average/intense usage pattern. Realme U1 is great at battery life, but it has just 3500 mAh and a less efficient display.
Price
Realme U1 wins this comparison because of its better hardware and display, but Vivo U1 and Moto G7 Play still represent wonderful choices in the entry-level segment. Realme U1 costs about €140/$160, Vivo U1 will launch for about €105/$118, and Moto G7 Play will cost about €150/$170.
The smartphone industry is presently in a frenzy as we await the launch of the first phones that will be equipped with 5G technology. Qualcomm‘s Snapdragon 855 chipset equipped with the Snapdragon X50 modem will power the 5G phones. Presently, Qualcomm has no competitor in that category but the company isn’t resting on its oars, waiting for the cash to start rolling in for chipset orders. Instead, the US fabless chipmaker has announced its second generation 5G modem dubbed Snapdragon X55.
This surprise announcement is a clear signal that Qualcomm doesn’t want to give its competitors the opportunity to play catch up as it pushes its technology even further. The Snapdragon X55 chipset is expected to make its debut in smartphones in late 2019 but it did disclose that manufacturers are already sampling the chipset. The new chipset comes with some improvements over the X50, one of which is more gigabits giving it faster download speed. The first-gen Snapdragon X50 is capable of achieving up to 4.5 Gbps of peak download speed. The Snapdragon X55 modem pushes things even further, up to 7 Gbps. Understandably, the first generation X50 modem may have been tailored to meet the initial capabilities of 5G networks. However, the maximum download speed of the second-gen X55 is an indication that the potentials of 5G will continuously grow bigger and bigger over time. The early announcement may also be targeted at Huawei’s Balong 5000 modem which is capable of hitting a maximum download speed of 6.5Gbps.
The Snapdragon X55 isn’t all about 5G connectivity, as it also comes with improvements in 4G and even 3G connectivity. or 4G LTE, the X55 will support Category 22 LTE that can reach download speeds of up to 2.5 Gbps. The new modem will also support dynamic spectrum sharing between 4G and 5G bands. This will help both network providers when deploying the new technology and users to have a more seamless user experience.
The 7Gps download speed is way more than what is needed on a mobile phone but the new modem is tailored not just for smartphones but also to deliver 5G to several devices such as wireless router, laptops, tablets as well as “extended reality devices” such as VR headsets with extremely high bandwidth craving. The X55 will come with a new 5G mmWave antenna module and more advanced modem-to-antenna solutions. The antenna module will complement the capabilities of the new modem and also improve power efficiency and design constraints, promising better battery life and sleeker-looking smartphones. This will no doubt curb the power-craving and heat conduction efficiency of the new chipset.
Last month, a photo of a device said to be the OnePlus 7 was shared on the web. It didn’t have a notch like the OnePlus 6 and OnePlus 6T, and although the image didn’t confirm, it was reported that it has a slider design. Another image has surfaced online today and it shows the front of the device in full.
This new image was shared on Twitter back last week but it appears no one noticed until recently. The display doesn’t have a notch of any kind but neither is it surrounded by super thin bezels with the lower bezel (left) being thicker than the rest. It also appears rotation is turned on as that can be the only explanation for the button placement.
If you reside in the US and you are looking for an affordable mid-range phone, you may want to grab the Nokia 5.1 Plus. The phone is now available on B&H for $199.99.
The variant sold on B&H has 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. It has been reported to work with AT&T and T-Mobile, so if you are on Sprint or Verizon, you may have to look elsewhere.
The Nokia 5.1 Plus is an Android One phone, so you are sure to get regular updates. It has a 5.86-inch HD+ display with a notch and is powered by an Helio P60 processor. There is a 13MP + 5MP dual camera setup on its rear and an 8MP selfie camera housed inside the notch. The phone also has a fingerprint scanner and packs a 3,060mAh battery.

A couple of days back Xiaomi teased the launch of a new smartwatch under its crowdfunding platform. That product is the Yunmai smart training watch and it is available on the Xiaomi Youpin crowdfunding platform for 699 Yuan (approximately $103). It is a third-party product manufactured by Xiaomi’s ecological chain company Yunmai.
The Yunmai brand is renowned for its fitness-centric products like the Smart Body scale and Exercise Powerball. The smart training watch is yet another sports and fitness product that serves as a companion for athletes and others who are very conscious of their fitness routine. The smartwatch is equipped with features such as an AMOLED display with impressive brightness level but that could have some disadvantage when it is needed to be used under direct sunlight. The display is 1.3 inches with a 90% NTSC display color gamut. The screen has features such as energy saving and low power consumption mode. The screen can be set to turn on when the wearer raises the wrist to view the watch face.
The main feature on the Yunmai smart training watch is perhaps the GPS + GLONASS navigation feature. Thanks to the onboard GPS, you can go for a walk, run, cycling and other activities without your smartphone and the Yunmai Sports watch will track your activities. It is equipped with a built-in 420mAh battery which can last up to 4 days in daily application mode. Even the Amazfit Verge with a similar AMOLED screen cannot get up to that duration of usage. It is also equipped with a built-in U-BLOXGPS high-end chip as well as a powerful 9-axis sensor that monitors professional sports data such as mileage, speed, number of steps, effective activity, and calorie consumption. There are also other features that help users achieve their fitness goals.
The Yunmai smartwatch is available in Ash and Rose Gold colours and is presently on crowdfunding on Xiaomi Youpin until March 4. It is expected to start shipping on March 26.

The former is 4.6-inches and is used when the device is “closed” and in phone mode, while the main display is 7.3-inches and unfolds outward when you “open” the device into a tablet mode.

Qualcomm, a major chipset maker for smartphones, has designed a new SoC for entry-level devices. According to reports from a famous tipster, Qualcomm is currently working on a new chipset which could make its way to new Android Go devices. The new chip is set to part ways from its Snapdragon lineup and will be marketed as the Qualcomm Mobile 215 Platform.
It seems to host the same base as like of the low-end Snapdragon chipsets attached with Quad core CPU arrangement. Internally, it will carry quad-core CPU clocked at 1.3 gigahertz and a GPU at 650 megahertz. It matches the architecture of the already present Snapdragon 410 and 425 chipsets. Moreover, it’s not clear whether the Qualcomm will build it using the 28 nm process or something else. Further, the source has not revealed any more details about the upcoming low-level QM215 chipset.
Qualcomm is testing some reference designs coupled with 1GB or 2GB LPDDR3 RAM and 8/16 GB storage. Huawei is testing the new chipset with a 720P+ display and fingerprint reader for its new device.
In detail, it seems that the new chipset is mainly designed for Android Go devices. These energy efficient chipsets can be a perfect match for the low-end devices. It will allow Android Go devices to be more energy efficient and more affordable. If things are right, the QM215 will feature in ultra-low-cost smartphones. These kinds of chipsets can better compete in the developing markets like India, South America, and a few other nations.
