Xiaomi Mi Play vs Huawei Y7 (2019) vs Realme U1: Specs Comparison

Jan 1, 2019

Affordable midrange phones are slowly becoming the most wanted devices, even more than flagships. This happens because now even low-end chipsets are able to provide excellent performances. Further, manufacturers are managing to release devices with stunning aesthetics, decent cameras, and long-lasting batteries even in the low-end segment. Today we are comparing the new Xiaomi Mi Play, the new Huawei Y7 (2019) and the Realme U1 because we believe they are among the most amazing affordable alternatives to high-end smartphones. If you are trying to save money while still getting an excellent handset, you should go ahead and check this specs comparison.

Xiaomi Mi Play vs Huawei Y7 (2019) vs Oppo Realme U1

	Xiaomi Mi Play	Huawei Y7 2019	Oppo Realme U1
DIMENSIONS AND WEIGHT	147.76 x 71.89 x 7.8 mm, 150 grams	158.92 x 76.91 x 8.1 mm, 168 grams	157 x 74 x 8 mm, 168 grams

BATTERY	3000 mAh	4000 mAh	3500 mAh
ADDITIONAL FEATURES	Hybrid Dual SIM slot	Hybrid Dual SIM slot	Dual SIM slot

Design

Whatever you choose, you will get a very attractive and elegant design. The one I like more is the Xiaomi Mi Play because it features a glass back with gradient colors and a thinner profile as well as a more compact and lightweight body. It is the first Xiaomi phone with a waterdrop notch but it does not matter so much as even its opponents have a waterdrop notch.

Display

Huawei Y7 (2019) loses the display comparison because of a lower level of detail, while the winner is the Realme U1 by Oppo with its Full HD+ LTPS IPS panel which also features a larger diagonal which results in a more comfortable use for multimedia and productivity. Xiaomi Mi Play has a good display too, but it is not at the same level as the Oppo Realme U1. On the other hand, it is more suitable for one-handed use because of its smaller dimensions, so it still has its advantages.

Specs & Software

Do you need the fastest and smoothest device perfect for gaming and multi-tasking? Then go for the Oppo Realme U1 without even hesitating. It comes with the new Helio P70 SoC which is the most powerful last-gen chipset by MediaTek and it runs with a max frequency of 2.1 GHz. Further, it features a dual SIM slot and a separated micro SD slot so you can use both SIMs and microSD card simultaneously. Between Xiaomi Mi Play and Huawei Y7 2019, the former wins because it has the new Helio P35 chipset which is even better than Snapdragon 625. And if you know Qualcomm’s processors, you should have already understood that Helio P35 is much more powerful than the Snapdragon 450 found on the Huawei Y7 (2019). Note that for now, Huawei Y7 (2019) does not come in a 4/64 GB configuration and it is only available with 3 GB of RAM, while Oppo Realme U1 and Xiaomi Mi Play have that higher-end memory configuration. While Xiaomi Mi Play and Huawei Y7 2019 have Android Pie installed out of the box, Oppo Realme U1 is still based on Oreo.

Camera

The most impressive camera setup for an affordable phone belongs to the Oppo Realme U1. Its key point is the front camera, one of the best ever seen. It comes with a 25 MP resolution and useful AI-backed features improving selfies and it even comes with a pretty nice dual camera on the rear. But the rear camera is more or less on par with the ones of its opponents. Xiaomi Mi Play provides very detailed shots when light conditions are good, while Huawei Y7 (2019) has sufficient performance with the rear cameras and a great 16 MP selfie camera. I would choose the Realme U2 due to its surprising selfie cameras, but differences between these camera departments are just marginal.

Battery

The battery is the strongest point of the Huawei Y7 2019 which is able to reach almost two days of battery life on a single charge, even if you use it continuously. This happens thanks to the huge 4000 mAh battery but also thanks to the HD+ display which does not consume a lot of energy, and thanks to the efficient Snapdragon 450 chipset. At the second place, there is Oppo Realme U1 with its 3500 mAh battery which still provides an above-average battery life, while Xiaomi Mi Play has just 3000 mAh but it is able to charge faster due to its smaller capacity. However, none of these handsets features a fast charging technology.

Price

You should not mind a lot about the prices of these devices because they are just slightly different. You can actually find the Xiaomi Mi Play in China for about €170/$200, Oppo Realme U1 is available in the Indian market for about €180/$210 and Huawei Y7 2019 costs about €200/$230. The global debut of these smartphones is still not scheduled and probably only Xiaomi Mi Play and Huawei Y7 2019 will land in Europe, while Realme U1 will remain in Asia. Overall, I prefer the Oppo Realme U1 because of its better hardware department, good cameras, a pretty nice display, and a good battery.

The Snapdragon 710 is the most powerful mid-range chipset in the market. If you are in the market for a new phone powered by the processor, then you may want to grab the 360 N7 Pro.

JD.com has discounted a number of its phones in what can be termed a new year sales promotion and the 360 N7 Pro has gotten a price slash too. The 360 N7 Pro sells for ¥1399 but you can now purchase it for just ¥999 (~$145) making it the cheapest Snapdragon 710-powered phone.

The phone packs a 4,000mAh battery in a 7.7mm body. It also has support for 18W fast charging via a USB-C port. Its thin body doesn’t mean it skipped the audio jack, so don’t worry about going wireless or using a dongle.

Counterpoint: Huawei joins list of contributors to 2018’s high-end smartphone market growth

Jan 1, 2019

The high-end segment is the money spinner for phone manufacturers as that is where the most profit is made. It is no surprise Apple is the top performer in this category. However, according to Counterpoint’s stats for Q3 2018, Chinese smartphone companies are cashing in in this segment with Huawei leading the pack.

Counterpoint says the high-end smartphone segment witnessed its fastest growth in the third quarter of 2018. While the overall smartphone market declined by 5%, the premium segment grew by 19% that quarter

The market research firm has split the premium smartphone segment into three tiers – the $400 – $600 category, the $600 – $800 category, and the $800 and up category.

For the first category, Samsung is king here with 25% of the market share and is followed closely by Apple with 21%. Huawei comes next with a market share of 17%. Vivo and OPPO claim the 4th and 5th spots with 10% and 7% respectively and Xiaomi is 6th with a 6% market share.

In the $600 to $800 tier, Apple leads with a market share of 61%, three times more than Samsung that is at second place with a market share of 21%. Apple also leads the $800+ tier with a 79% market share. Counterpoint says Huawei also made its mark in the second tier with its Huawei P20 Pro flagship but it isn’t shown on the charts.

Jan 1, 2019

Sony, the Japan-based company which has been struggling in the smartphone market, seems to be working towards launching a new smartphone soon. An upcoming smartphone of the company, Sony Xperia L3, recently passed through the FCC certification process.

The mid-range smartphone is the successor of the Xperia L2 launched last month. Given that the phone has already been through the certification processor, there’s a possibility that the company could launch the device at the upcoming Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2019 in Las Vegas.

The FCC listing of the smartphone reveals that it will come with a 5.7-inch display having 18:9 aspect ratio. Under the hood, it will be powered by Qualcomm‘s Snapdragon 660 octa-core chipset along with 3GB RAM.

The phone will be featuring a dual camera setup on the back, consisting of a 13-megapixel primary sensor and a 5-megapixel secondary sensor. The device will also come with a side-mounted fingerprint sensor for added security. On the front side, it will feature an 8-megapixel snapper for taking selfies and video calling.

Sony will be ditching the micro-USB port and will offer USB Type-C port. As for the battery, the device will be powered by a 3,400mAh battery, which should be enough to last through the whole day on a single charge.

Currently, there’s no more information available related to the smartphone. However, as we said, the phone could be announced during the CES 2019 later this month or at MWC 2019 in February this year.

Blue-Gold Nubia X goes on sale today for ¥4299 (~$625)

By

-

Jan 1, 2019

The Nubia X is a dual-screen phone that launched last year. Including a second screen is Nubia‘s way of achieving an edge-to-edge design as the main display nearly covers the whole of the front with just slivers of bezels at the top and bottom while the second albeit a smaller screen is surrounded by bezels that house the phone’s triple cameras.

The phone comes in multiple variants that Nubia has been releasing in batches. Today, the variant to go on sale is the Blue-Gold version which has 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. It is priced at ¥4299 (~$625) and is available for purchase on JD.com.

The Nubia X has a 6.26-inch 2280 x 1080 LCD primary display and a 5.1-inch HD+ OLED display. It is powered by a Snapdragon 845 processor paired with 6GB/8GB of RAM and a 128GB/256GB/512GB of non-expandable storage.

The design of the Nubia X means it doesn’t have a front-facing camera, so you have to use the main cameras on the back for taking selfies which is where the second display comes in as it serves as the viewfinder when taking selfies. There are two cameras on the rear – a 16MP f/1.8 sensor and a 24MP f/1.7 sensor.

The secondary display not only works as a viewfinder when taking selfies, but it can also serve as additional touch controls when playing a game on the main screen. And since it is an OLED display, it has an always-on-display feature which is customizable and can be configured to display animations, custom messages, or even used to monitor a virtual pet that comes with the phone.

Xiaomi Mi LED TV models get price cut in India

Jan 1, 2019

In recent months, a few of Xiaomi’s products have seen price fluctuations in the Indian market. Due to the depreciation of the Indian rupee, the company had increased the pricing of Mi LED TV in November last year. Recently, the company announced a price drop on a couple of smartphone models.

Now, the China-based company has announced price drop on three of its Mi LED TV models in the Indian market. The company says that the price cut comes following the decision by Government of India wherein Goods and Service Tax (GST) on television sets have been reduced from 28 percent to 18 percent on TVs up to 32-inches.

Xiaomi also adds that the company is following its philosophy of ensuring that whenever the company makes more than 5 percent profit margin on any hardware products, it tries to give it back to the customers, which the company calls ‘Mi Fans.’

The Xiaomi Mi LED Smart TV 4A 32-inch model has received a price cut of Rs. 1,500 (~$22) and is now available for Rs. 12,499, roughly $179. The Mi LED TV 4C PRO 32-inch model, on the other hand, has received Rs. 2,000 ($29) price cut, bringing the price down to Rs. 13,999, which converts to around $201.

Apart from the 32-inch models, the Mi LED TV 4A PRO 49-inch model has also received a price drop of Rs. 1,000 (approximately $14), making Rs. 30,999 ($445) as the new effective price. The company says that the price cut on this 49-inch model is due to recent dollar moderation.

A few months ago, the International market research firm, IDC released its report for India’s smart home market for Q2 2018. The report reveals that Xiaomi, a new player in the smart TV market, became the leading brand in just six months. The company was able to triple its shipments in Q2-2018 to become the market leader in the smart TV category. According to Xiaomi, they have sold half a million TVs since their entry into India.

Under the hood, the device is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 660 octa-core chipset. It comes in three variants — 3GB/4GB/6GB RAM and 32GB/64GB internal storage along with a microSD card slot for storage expansion. There’s also a rear-facing fingerprint sensor for added protection.

As for the camera, the device comes with a vertically-stacked dual camera setup, featuring a primary sensor of 12-megapixel Sony IMX486 with f/1.8 aperture. It is accompanied by 5-megapixel depth sensor with f/2.4 aperture. On the front side, there’s a 13-megapixel selfie camera with an LED flash that supports Face Unlock.

Connectivity options on the device include Dual 4G VoLTE, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 5.0, GPS, micro-USB 2.0, and 3.5mm audio jack. It runs stock Android 8.1 Oreo out-of-the-box and is powered by a 5,000mAh battery which unfortunately lacks support for fast charging.

The Zenfone Max Pro M2 recently received a firmware update that comes with better camera effect optimization along with updated audio performance, and an upgraded fingerprint sensor performance that makes it more accurate and fast. It also has improved the display edge and updated the Google security patch from October to November.

Xiaomi Mi Laser Projector Lite to launch on crowdfunding January 2

Dec 31, 2018

Around June 2017, Xiaomi stunned the industry when it released the Mi Laser Projector with several outstanding features but with an affordable price tag when compared to other Laser Projectors in the same category. Perhaps, the success of the Mi Laser Projector may have prompted the company to launch a new Lite version which is billed to debut on January 2 via its crowdfunding platform.

Xiaomi recently released several posters which tease the impending launch and contained some details of the Mi Laser Projector Lite. The photograph of the Lite version is very much distinct from the Full version. It has a narrow and taller frame and comes with a colour scheme that is no longer deep black. The side is white, while the front is a lighter gray, giving it a more appealing look.

The specific specifications of the Mi Laser Projector Lite are not clear at the moment, but since it is a “Lite version”, the configuration must be much lower, of course, the price will be far cheaper and affordable. However, we can pick out some of the key specifications from the posters. One of such is an OSRAM P1W/A lamp bead with brightness up to 800 ANSI. The projector will also support HDR10 high dynamic range video decoding and Texas Instruments TRP square pixels Architectural plan. The device will also have a 1080p LED light source projection.

In addition, the Mi Laser Projector Lite will pack two 2 inches 10W dual speakers with dual passive film audio. The device also comes with Dolby audio and DTS sound effects. It also comes pre-installed with MIUI TV operating system which is the same with that of Xiaomi TV models. Of course, that means it comes with voice control support. The Laser projector Lite can project images on screen sizes ranging from 80 inches to 120 inches.

Xiaomi Mi Laser Projector Lite will launch on crowdfunding at 14.30 on January 2 and will have a 2,199 yuan crowdfunding price which is cost-effective.

Dec 31, 2018

The Federal Communication Commission (FCC) and the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) has just given a regulatory approval to an upcoming battery powered bank and wireless charger that goes by the name AT&T power drum. The wireless power bank device can charge an Apple watch (it has a built in magnetic charging module for Apple watch) and an Apple iPhone (or any Qi-compatible handle) simultaneously. However, the AT&T’s Qi-compatible Power Drum will not function with the series 4 Apple watch, but will work with all other variants of the wearable timepiece.

The Qi charger will charge at 10W but at a limited power output of 7.5W for iPhone devices and the Apple watch timepiece will charge the rate of 5W. More so, as a powerbank, the power drum comes with 3,000mAh battery capacity which is very low compared to the 10,000-20,000mAh powerbanks that are available in the market today. Despite the low capacity, you will be glad to have that extra battery that can still save the day.

The power drum comes with a micro USB port for charging it, which implies that you need to carry an extra cord around with you. Other features include, a LED charge indicator, Nightstand mode which allows the Apple watch to be used in alarm mode while charging, also a softpad providing a stable surface for the device.

There is no any record yet concerning when this product will be officially launched, and according to one of the sources, it seems that the product will be sold at an equivalent of $99.99.
