This is a comparison between Vivo V9 Pro, Huawei Nova 3i and Honor 8X, all devices recently released with very exciting specs at a very good price, unlike the most powerful flagships.

BATTERY	3260 mAh	3340 mAh, Fast Charging 5V / 2A	3750 mAh, Fast Charging 5V / 2A
ADDITIONAL FEATURES	Dual SIM slot	Hybrid Dual SIM slot	Dual SIM slot

Design

I personally like the design of Huawei Nova 3i very much, and I like it because it is available in a very impressive gradient hue: Iris Purple which goes from blue on the upper part to purple in the lower one. And the device even comes with a stunning reflective glass on the back. But if you do not like this color, then Huawei Honor 8X has a better design thanks to its higher screen-to-body ratio. Vivo V9 Pro is beautiful, but I do not like it as much as its opponents from Huawei.

Display

The most interesting display belongs to Huawei Honor 8X as it has a huge 6.5-inch diagonal. So, it is very comfortable to read or watch videos with this handsets, and that is why I would pick it. Viewing quality is not so different between these devices, so I am not going to make a choice by basing on viewing quality. Indeed, all of them have IPS panels and a Full HD+ resolution.

Specs & Software

Vivo V9 Pro is the device with the highest performance, thanks to its more powerful SoC. We are talking about the Snapdragon 660 by Qualcomm, which has a more powerful GPU than Kirin 710 and a max frequency of 2.2 GHz. Further, this device alongside the Huawei Honor 8X sports a dedicated micro SD slot. While it has the best hardware, we like more the software found on Huawei phones. Vivo V9 Pro comes with Funtouch OS installed, while Nova 3i and Honor 8X have the EMUI. But overall, I would still pick Vivo V9 Pro.

Camera

Which of these devices should you choose from this trio? It mainly depends on which cameras you are interested in. If you care more about rear cameras, then go for the Honor 8X as it features a higher resolution as well as a brighter aperture which provide more detailed shots, especially in low-light conditions. But if you care about selfies the most, then you should choose Huawei Nova 3i as it has a great dual front camera with 24 and 2 MP resolutions and with f/2.0 aperture, as well as a very advanced AI beauty mode.

Battery

Huawei Honor 8X is the handset with the biggest battery. Its lithium unit has a way bigger capacity than the opponents and it is able to last a lot more. But note that, on the other hand, it also has bigger dimensions, so if you want a device which fits in your pocket it may not be the best choice for you.

Price

Even though their specs are similar, these handsets come with different prices. Vivo V9 Pro costs about $347 or €300, Huawei Nova 3i costs about $405 or €350 and Huawei Honor 8X has an average price of $254/€220. With the actual prices, Huawei Honor 8X has the best value for money and it wins the comparison.

On the very same day, Mate 20 and Mate 20 Pro flagship phones are confirmed to get announced. A new Huawei smartwatch with a model number of FTN-B19 has recently received approval from Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the U.S. It is believed this smartwatch may get unleashed as the Huawei Watch GT or Watch X.

The battery performance of the Watch GT seems to be very impressive since the Huawei Watch 2 could last for up to 2 days with general use. The Watch 2 features a 420mAh battery, but the FCC documents of the Watch GT has revealed that it is equipped with a slightly smaller 410mAh battery. The probable reason why the Watch GT will be able to deliver better performance is that it could be equipped with all new Snapdragon 3100.

Nokia fans across the world are eagerly waiting for a new flagship phone from the company. A recent report had claimed that HMD Global has pushed the launch of the mysterious Nokia phone with penta-lens camera setup to February next year. The smartphone is rumored to debut as Nokia 9. Today, freshly leaked photos of the alleged Nokia 9 have surfaced on Weibo. Most of the leaked photos of the Nokia 9 that have surfaced in the recent past have only revealed the rear design of the phone. However, the new photos that have arrived today showcases the front design of the smartphone.

The new images of the Nokia 9 clearly show that it is equipped with a dual-edge curved display like the Samsung Galaxy flagship phones. The top and bottom bezels of the phone are thick. This suggests that the alleged Nokia 9 will not offer high screen-to-body ratio like the flagship phones from OPPO, Vivo, Huawei and Xiaomi.

A selfie camera seems to be present at the top-right corner of the upper bezel. The bottom bezel only features the Nokia branding. The top edge of the phone is not visible in the images. The bottom edge of the smartphone features a microphone, a USB-C port and an external speaker. There is a possibility that the handset may not feature a 3.5mm audio as the Snapdragon 835 powered Nokia 8 Sirocco phone lacks it.

Gaming hardware manufacturer, Razer, will launch its second smartphone – the Razer Phone 2 on October 10. Benchmark listings have shown the device will pack a punch with respect to RAM and storage. Today, an official render has leaked, revealing the design of the phone.

The image which was shared on Twitter by Evan Blass, confirms that the Razer Phone 2 will retain the 16:9 aspect ratio of its predecessor. The two thick bezels at the top and bottom of the screen likely house speakers like the original Razer Phone, so we expect a similar or better audio performance.

The top bezel is also home to two large holes – one is home to the front camera and the other houses the usual sensors. There is a USB-C port at the bottom and it is flanked by two antenna lines.

Yes, @gsmarena_com, it does light up.

— Evan Blass (@evleaks) September 28, 2018

The back of the phone is where the most changes have occurred. The Razer Phone w will come with dual rear cameras like the original but the sensors are now sitting in the middle of the phone. Also, the LED flash is now flanked on either side by the camera sensors.

The familiar Razer logo is green is neon green and Evan Blass says there is an LED underneath as earlier rumored. The material used for the back of the device looks much smoother than that of the original but we can’t confirm if it is glass or aluminum. There is no fingerprint scanner on the rear or front of the device, so it’s likely still under the power button.

Yesterday, we reported that Oppo is currently working on a 10GB RAM variant of its flagship smartphone Find X. We even confirmed the development with the TENAA specifications listing showing the 10GB RAM model with 256GB of internal storage.

Now, AnTuTu benchmark score of the Oppo Find X 10GB RAM model has surfaced online. However, the device scores just 271,362, which isn’t as high as one would expect. But given that the benchmark score is from an engineering unit, we expect to see improved score in the final retail unit.

Currently, the smartphone comes with 8GB of RAM and two options for internal storage — 128GB and 256GB. We are not expecting to see a drastic difference in terms of performance in the 10GB RAM variant compared to the original 8GB RAM model.

Apart from the upgrade of 10GB RAM, rest of the specifications of the upcoming Oppo Find X model remains the same. It features a 6.42-inch AMOLED display with a screen resolution of 2340 x 1080 pixels and 19.5:9 aspect ratio.

The highlight of the phone is that it comes with a motorised slider which houses the 25-megapixel front-facing camera as well as 3D face sensing sensors, which the company prefers to call ‘O-Face Recognition’. Oppo claims that the facial unlock is 20 times safer than fingerprint recognition for unlocking the phone.

Under the hood, the device is powered by Qualcomm‘s flagship Snapdragon 845 processor, coupled with Adreno 630 graphics processor. As for the rear camera, it comes with a dual camera setup that consists of a 16-megapixel + 20-megapixel sensors on the back with OIS and AI features.

The phone runs on ColorOS 5.1 AI Smart custom UI based on Android 8.1 Oreo operating system, and us powered by a 3730mAh battery. We expect the 10GB RAM model to come with SuperVOOC fast charging support.

Currently, the base model of the Oppo Find X, which packs 8GB RAM and 128GB model is priced at ¥4999 (~$727) while the 8GB RAM and 256GB storage model costs ¥5999 (~$873). We believe that the upcoming 10GB RAM version will be priced at about ¥7999 (~$1163). However, to know for sure, we’ll have to wait for Oppo to officially launched the phone.
