Nov 25, 2024

Samsung is reportedly preparing to expand its foldable lineup in 2024 with the introduction of the Galaxy Z Flip FE, a budget-friendly version of its popular clamshell foldable. In addition, fresh leaks hint at the chipset configurations for both the Galaxy Z Flip FE and its flagship counterpart, the Z Flip7.

Galaxy Z Flip7 is expected to debut the Exynos 2500 chipset

According to X tipster Jukanlosreve, the Galaxy Z Flip7 is expected to feature Samsung’s upcoming Exynos 2500, marking a significant shift from the Snapdragon chips used in previous foldable models like the Z Flip6.

For those unfamiliar, Samsung is facing some manufacturing issues with its 3nm chips. The adoption of the 3nm Exynos 2500 in the upcoming Z Flip 7 instead of the S25 series scheduled to launch in January (which was supposed to equip the chips) suggests that Samsung hopes for an improvement in its yield rate before it needs to mass produce the chips to cut down the manufacturing costs.

Samsung has powered its foldable phones with Qualcomm chips so far and it will be interesting to see how much of an improvement in performance and power efficiency Samsung manages to offer with the Exynos 2500-powered Z Fold 7. Notably, the tipster didn’t mention the Z Fold 7, so that’s still expected to power the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip.

Budget-friendly Galaxy Z Flip FE to use S24FE’s Exynos 2400e

The Galaxy Z Flip FE is expected to launch as an affordable alternative to the premium Z Flip series. The device could feature the Exynos 2400e, a slightly downclocked version of the Exynos 2400 chipset used in the Galaxy S24 FE.

The use of the Exynos 2400e ensures a balance between performance and cost-effectiveness. This chipset has already demonstrated its capabilities in handling everyday tasks effectively, making it a promising option for a budget foldable device.

Nov 25, 2024

The vivo S20 series is set to debut on November 28 at 7:00 PM, featuring two models: the vivo S20 Pro and the standard vivo S20. The series targets users looking for a premium yet versatile experience. Following a plethora of leaks, now vivo has stepped up, officially revealing key features of both models.

vivo S20 Pro:

The vivo S20 Pro boasts a ‘full-depth micro-quad-curved screen’ that combines the sleek appearance of a flat display with the ergonomics of a curved design. It caters to photography enthusiasts with a 50MP ‘telephoto portrait lens’, alongside an OIS-enabled 50MP main lens.

Under the hood, the S20 Pro is powered by the Dimensity 9300+ chipset, (the same as the upcoming realme Neo7) promising flagship-grade performance. Vivo is also incorporating its ‘Blue Crystal technology’, which could enhance the phone’s thermal efficiency, though further details are awaited.

The Pro model will be available in striking color options like Phoenix Feather Gold, Purple Air Coming from the East, and Pine Smoke Ink.

vivo S20: blend of ultra-thin design and notable specs

The standard vivo S20 opts for a 7.19mm ultra-thin straight screen, delivering a clean, minimalist look. It packs a 6500mAh battery, leveraging semi-solid-state technology to offer high capacity without compromising on size.

One of the standout features of the S20 series is “Dopamine Live Dynamic Photos”, an innovative way to bring photos to life by adding motion synced to the rhythm of the live content. The vivo S20 also introduces a film-camera-inspired photography mode, further emphasizing its focus on imaging capabilities.

Color options for the standard model include Phoenix Feather Gold, Jade Dew White, and Pine Smoke Ink.

Both models in the vivo S20 series feature BOE Q10 Eye-Pleasing Eye Protection screens, ensuring a comfortable viewing experience. While the S20 Pro uses the Dimensity 9300+ chip, the standard model is expected to come with the Snapdragon 7 Gen3 chipset.

The 6500mAh semi-solid-state battery offers extended usage while maintaining lightweight designs—the standard model weighs approximately 180g.

With its advanced features, vibrant color options, and focus on imaging, the vivo S20 series is poised to attract the attention of those seeking a decently capable smartphone that is also visually appealing.

Honor 300 series confirmed to launch in first week of December

Nov 25, 2024

Honor has been teasing its upcoming 300 series phones for a while, and now we finally have an official launch date for China, December 2nd.

The announcement comes just after several rival launches. For instance, Oppo will launch the Reno 13 series on November 25 (today), Redmi has an event for its K80 line on November 27, and Vivo will unveil the S20 series on November 28 in China.

Honor’s lineup includes three models — the vanilla 300, 300 Pro, and 300 Ultra. While all three share a similar rear design, the 300 Pro and Ultra have more in common with each other.

What you can expect

The latter features a curved screen with a pill-shaped cutout on top for two selfie cameras. Honor 300, on the other hand, has a flat panel with a single hole-punch cutout.

The Pro and Ultra also share a triple camera setup on the back while the vanilla model has a dual-camera system, likely led by a 50MP main sensor.

As for the performance, rumors suggest a Snapdragon 7 series processor for the Honor 300, powered by a 5300mAh battery with 100W charging support. And despite its sizable battery, the phone measures just 6.97mm in thickness. It will come in four configurations: 8/256GB, 12/256GB, 12/512GB, and 16/512GB.

The Pro and Ultra models may not match the slim profile of the vanilla 300, but they are expected to offer wireless charging as an added convenience. The wired charging remains the same at 100W, and so is the 5300mAh battery. Both models will likely be powered by the powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip.

Apart from this, we know that the standard model will be available in Luyan Purple, Chaka Green, Yulong Snow, and Cangshan Gray shades. Meanwhile, the Pro and Ultra models are expected to come in at least White and Black options.

realme Neo7 packs 7000mAh battery, scores 2.4 million in AnTuTu

Nov 25, 2024

Realme recently announced the Neo series will now operate independently within its lineup, establishing itself as a mid-range e-sports flagship. Xu Qi, Realme’s vice president, confirmed this move as part of a strategy to distinguish the Neo lineup from the premium GT series.

Realme Neo7 outperforms GT Neo6 in AnTuTu

The latest news is about the realme Neo7, which is shaping up to be a mid-range gaming powerhouse. According to a new leak by tipster Digital Chat Station, the upcoming device has achieved an impressive AnTuTu score of 2.4 million points. This is a significant leap compared to its predecessor, the realme GT Neo6, which scored around 1.5 million. Alongside its Dimensity 9300+ chipset, the phone will pack a massive 7,000mAh battery, further cementing its focus on performance.

For those confused about the lineup, there indeed wasn’t a realme Neo6, but a GT branded model, the GT Neo6. The AnTuTu listing indeed mentions the phone as realme Neo6. Nonetheless, the use of last year’s flagship Dimensity 9300+ paired with the massive 7000mAh battery suggests a focus on performance.

For further context, the company launched the GT Neo6 in May this year with Snapdragon 8s Gen 3, UFS 4.0 storage, and a much smaller 5500mAh battery. However, the GT Neo6 offers a blazing fast 120W fast charging, which is also expected to be seen with the upcoming Neo7, especially considering the larger capacity.

In other aspects, the previous GT Neo6 packs a 6.78-inch display which is curved on two sides. While with the 5500mAh battery, the phone measures 8.7mm thick and weighs 191g, realme is likely to utilize the new high-density silicon anode battery tech with the Neo7, making it thinner and lighter than expected. For context on this aspect, the GT7 Pro weighs only 4g higher than its predecessor, the GT5 Pro, which packs an 1100mAh lower capacity. So the Neo7 is expected to offer a reasonably good in-hand experience. That said, more specs are likely to emerge going forward.

A massive 6,100mAh battery ensures all-day usage, supported by 120W private protocol flash charging and 100W PPS fast charging.

Display

The series features an “eye protection super crown screen,” using the latest F1 flagship light-emitting device.
The 8T LTPO display supports a high refresh rate of 144Hz, delivering smooth visuals for gaming and everyday use.

Design

A sleek profile starting at 7.99mm thickness and weighing 199g ensures the Neo10 is easy to handle.
A floating window lens design and ultra-thin bezels (1.4mm) add to the premium aesthetic.
The ultrasonic fingerprint scanner offers convenience and security, with one-swipe entry across all models.
Software

The Neo10 series will run OriginOS 5 in China, which offers a refined and smoother user experience than the previous version.

Redmi K80 Pro might be the most expensive in the series yet

Nov 24, 2024

The Redmi K80 series will be launched soon in China, with two models, a vanilla and a Pro. The K80 Pro is confirmed to pack Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, which we’ve seen in devices like the Honor Magic 7 Pro and OnePlus 13.

The 8 Elite is the first to bring Qualcomm’s self-developed Oryon cores to smartphones, but it comes at a cost — literally. As a result, nearly all Snapdragon 8 Elite phones released so far have been more expensive than their predecessors. The same could be true for the Redmi K80 Pro.

Redmi’s president, Thomas Wang, in a Weibo post today pointed out that the Redmi K80 Pro could be priced at around CNY 4,000 (about $552) in China. That’s a significant jump from the CNY 3,299 (around $455) launch price of the Redmi K70 Pro. While a price hike isn’t unexpected for a phone sporting the latest Snapdragon chip, the magnitude is noteworthy.

Wang, however, suggests the higher price tag will be justified. He claims the K80 Pro boasts “the most versatile battery specs for its segment,” hinting at impressive battery life alongside the raw power of the 8 Elite.

Additionally, recent teasers suggest the phone will achieve a record-breaking AnTuTu benchmark score, and has an independent D1 graphics chip for improved gaming performance.

Beyond performance, the K80 Pro will have an equally flagship screen. The phone boasts a 2K AMOLED panel developed by TCL, with 1800 nits of peak brightness. It also includes a range of eye-friendly features, such as DC Dimming, TÜV Rheinland flicker-free certification, ADV-MEMC for image quality enhancement, AON Smart Eye Care, and more.

The front will also be home to a 20MP selfie camera, while you will get three cameras on the back, a 50MP lens for wide shots, a 32MP for ultrawide, and another 50MP for portraits. All this is expected to be powered by a 6000mAh battery with support for 120W charging.

Redmi K80 Pro spotted on Geekbench & 3DMark showcasing Snapdragon 8 Elite’s performance

Nov 24, 2024

After the initial wave of Snapdragon 8 Elite-powered flagship smartphones, Xiaomi is now preparing to debut the Redmi K80 Pro powered by this cutting-edge chipset. This device is also expected to be rebranded as the Poco F7 Ultra in the global market.

The device was recently confirmed to have scored an impressive AnTuTu benchmark score of 3,194,766, and now, it has also been spotted on Geekbench 6 as well as 3DMark benchmarks.

Redmi K80 Pro Geekbench (left) and 3DMark Steel Nomad Light (right)

On Geekbench 6, it achieved a single-core score of 3050 and a multi-core score of 9216, placing it among the top-performing Android smartphones. In 3DMark’s Steel Nomad Light, it secured a score of 2441, further solidifying its position as a graphics powerhouse. Real-world gaming performance is equally impressive. The K80 Pro delivers peak FPS on popular titles like Genshin Impact, Honkai: Star Trail, and Honor of Kings, while maintaining efficient power consumption and avoiding significant frame rate drops.

The performance is in line with a recent report by Dave2D, who tested flagships like the OnePlus 13 and the ROG Phone 9 Pro revealing that the devices maintain smooth, throttle-free gameplay at the highest setting on Genshin Impact.

Previous reports have confirmed that the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip will be paired with a D1 chip, and Gaming Engine 4.0, enabling 2K super-resolution and 120fps gaming. The device has a CSOT 2K M9 flat screen that delivers a peak brightness of 1800 nits, 20.3% lower power consumption, hardware-level DC dimming, circular polarization, and the AON Intelligent Eye Protection system for reduced eye strain.

The phone boasts a refined design with a light mist dual-work integration process, ultra-narrow 1.9mm bottom bezels, and a 50:50 golden weight distribution. It is Redmi’s first device with a seamless top design and Xiaomi’s Dragon Crystal Glass 2.0, featuring an advanced ultrasonic fingerprint sensor for wet-hand recognition. The K80 series also offers IP68/IP69 dust and water resistance.
