Nov 5, 2024

Xiaomi India has announced that Muralikrishnan B, the current President, will be stepping down at the end of 2024 to pursue academic research, specifically an Executive Doctorate in Management focused on “Consumer Behaviour on Technology Platforms.”

Murali, who joined Xiaomi India in 2018 and served as COO before his promotion to President in 2022, played a pivotal role in strengthening Xiaomi’s brand and strategic direction in India. Adam Zeng, Xiaomi’s Senior Vice President, praised Murali’s contributions, highlighting his success in connecting millions of Indians with innovative products.

Reflecting on his tenure, Murali expressed gratitude for Xiaomi’s supportive environment and dedication to core values like sincerity and passion, which resonated with him throughout his leadership. He thanked Xiaomi’s leadership, colleagues, partners, and Xiaomi fans for their role in the brand’s success.

Despite this leadership transition, Xiaomi India remains committed to its growth in the Indian market. The company has a solid leadership team, with Sudhin Mathur, an industry expert with over 30 years of experience, continuing as COO. Mathur’s extensive background includes roles as Managing Director of Motorola Mobility India, Country Head of Lenovo Mobile Business Group, and significant contributions at Sony Ericsson and LG Mobile.

Alongside Mathur, other senior leaders like Sameer Rao (CFO), Varun Madan (CPO), and Anuj Sharma (CMO) will help Xiaomi stay on course to deliver high-quality technology and further strengthen its position in India. The company aims to expand its product ecosystem, introduce innovative offerings, and maintain its status as a leader in consumer electronics.

Talking about the Indian smartphone market, Q3 2024 saw a 3% year-on-year increase in shipments, while its market value surged by 12% due to a growing demand for premium devices and EMI-driven affordability. Xiaomi captured the second position in volume share, showcasing a 3% YoY growth. This growth is attributed to Xiaomi’s balanced approach across both online and offline sales channels, helping the brand maintain strong visibility and consumer reach.

Xiaomi continues to capitalize on the broader shift towards premiumization, benefiting from the demand for 5G smartphones, which constituted 81% of total shipments this quarter. This trend was particularly notable in the Rs. 10,001-Rs. 15,000 segment, where 5G penetration hit 93%, spurred by the availability of more affordable 5G models.

Should You Get the Galaxy S24 FE Now or Hold Out for the OnePlus 13?

The OnePlus 13 is among the first batch of flagship smartphones that is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite. But it’s only available in China at the moment, so should you wait for this premium model or buy Samsung’s budget flagship, the Galaxy S24 FE right now?

Prev Next

1. OnePlus 13 is a true flagship

Unlike the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE, the OnePlus 13 is a full fledged flagship phone. This device arrives with cutting edge technology from its display to performance. On the other hand, the Galaxy S24 FE has plenty of cut corners. But this doesn’t mean that it’s simply worse than the OnePlus 13. All of these areas where the OnePlus 13 excels come with a cost, so the Galaxy S24 FE is more affordable.

In the US, Samsung’s budget friendly flagship is listed for 649 US Dollars for its starting 8GB + 128GB storage configuration. Interestingly, the OnePlus 13 was announced in China for 4,499 Yuan or roughly 631 US Dollars. But it is worth noting that this isn’t its global pricing. Last year’s OnePlus 12 was launched in the US for around 800 US Dollars. In other words, there is a 150 US Dollars gap in the global and Chinese pricing. The newer model might even get a price hike over its predecessor, so it could be more expensive as well.

2. So what do you get with the higher price?

Samsung Galaxy S24 FE

The OnePlus 13 has a tall 6.82-inch BOE X2 OLED display with a 2K resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, and Sun Display technology with a peak brightness of 4500 nits. This device also has the “Crystal Shield Super Ceramic Glass” for improved durability. The screen has also been received by DisplayMate with an A++ rating, which supports Glove touch and Rain touch.

Samsung’s Galaxy S24 FE has a competent display, but it is outclassed by the former. The newest FE model sports a 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with a 1.5K resolution, 1900 nits of peak brightness, and Gorilla Glass Victus+ for protection. Samsung has always offered good displays on its S series models, but the OnePlus 13 has some cutting edge technology on its flagship.

Similarly, the OnePlus 13 is also a powerhouse, being one of the fastest Android phones in the market right now. It is equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Elite, which promises notable leaps in performance compared to its predecessors. Meanwhile, the Galaxy S24 FE packs an Exynos 2400e, which is an underclocked version of the Exynos 2400. The device isn’t slow, but definitely not in the same class as the Snapdragon 8 Elite.

Similar improvements can also be seen with the cameras, with the Galaxy S24 FE having a 50MP (Main) + 12MP (Ultrawide) + 8MP (Telephoto), while the OnePlus 13 features three 50MP sensors for the same functions. These are more advanced image sensors as well. Lastly, a 4,700mAh battery pack with 25W wired fast charging support is offered on the S24 FE. But the OnePlus 13 houses a massive 6,000mAh cell with 100W wired fast charging.

3. Verdict

The Samsung Galaxy 24 FE is fine if you’re in the market with a limited budget and need a device quickly. But there are still better alternatives right now. With the launch of the Galaxy S25 series, the OnePlus 13 will have a fairer competition against Samsung’s true flagship next year, which is also when the OnePlus 13 is expected to launch globally.

Iconia iM10-22 (10.36-inch)

Galaxy S25+ surfaces with Exynos 2500 on Geekbench: lags significantly behind Snapdragon 8 Elite in single-core performance

Nov 5, 2024

Samsung appears to be gearing up for the launch of its Galaxy S25 series, expected in early 2025, likely around January. While the Galaxy S25 Ultra is almost confirmed to feature the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, the standard Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25+ models may use different processors.

Samsung’s latest strategy for its non-Ultra models has stirred speculation around chipsets, with reports indicating they may use either the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 or Samsung’s own Exynos 2500.

Galaxy S25+ tested with Exynos 2500

The latest update came from the benchmarking platform Geekbench, where a Samsung Galaxy S25+ model powered by the Exynos 2500 was recently spotted. Listed under model number SM-S936B for the European market, the Galaxy S25+ achieved a single-core score of 2,359 and a multi-core score of 8,141 on Geekbench 6. This configuration includes 12GB of RAM and runs Android 15, providing a glimpse into the phone’s hardware specifications.

The Exynos 2500 powering the device has a 10-core CPU architecture, clocked up to 3.3GHz. This chipset also features Samsung’s Xclipse 950 GPU, based on AMD’s RDNA architecture, suggesting a focus on improved graphics performance.

In terms of raw performance, the Exynos 2500’s multi-core score puts it in close proximity to the top-tier Snapdragon 8 Elite. However, Exynos 2500 lags significantly behind the 8 Elite chip, when it comes to the single core performance.

For instance, an earlier test on the Galaxy S25 Ultra recorded scores of 3,096 for single-core and 9,080 for multi-core. Not to mention, a phone with the latest Exynos chip may lag behind most of its competitors with the Snapdragon 8 Elite or the Dimensity 9400 chip, in resource-intensive tasks like gaming or recording with high resolution or frame rate.

Additionally, readers should remember that this is just a benchmark result. These tests typically take only a couple of minutes to complete—often not enough time for the phone to overheat. Moreover, several brands have been known to apply targeted optimizations aimed at achieving impressive numbers in these tests, which often don’t reflect real-world performance. So, take these numbers with a pinch of salt as we await the company’s unveiling of its new flagship devices in January.

Nov 5, 2024

Red Magic recently confirmed the launch date for its next gen flagship gaming smartphones in China. The series is expected to include the Red Magic 10 Pro, Red Magic 10 Pro+, and Red Magic 10 Ultra. But ahead of the announcement, the brand just shared a fresh teaser, confirming its impressive display specs.

Red Magic 10 Pro Series: A True Full Screen Experience

The teaser was for the Red Magic 10 Pro lineup, which showcased its new Wukong screen. Red Magic claims that this is the industry’s first 1.5K true full screen. This basically means that there is no notch or punch hole cutout on the front. The selfie shooter is housed under the display to have a seamless display. The panel is also surrounded by minimal bezels, with the image poster teasing an ultra-high screen-to-body ratio of 95.3 percent.

The upcoming OLED screen was supplied by known display maker BOE. This Wukong Screen will debut with the Red Magic 10 Pro series, with the Nubia Z70 Ultra set to also receive this display technology later on. Just recently, the Red Magic 10 Pro flexed its performance with the Snapdragon 8 Elite in a GeekBench listing. Based on what we know so far, the Red Magic 10 Pro + is expected to sport a tall 7-inch+ OLED display with a 2688 x 1216 pixel resolution, a 144Hz refresh rate, and an under display selfie camera.

The Red Magic 10 Pro series are also expected to house a dedicated gaming chip and a PC level cooling system for improved heat dissipation. A massive 7,050mAh battery pack is expected to power this device, which may support 120W wired fast charging. The Red Magic 10 Pro models also surfaced on 3C certification a couple of days ago. Back in October, the Red Magic 10 Ultra was spotted in a leaked image, showcasing a redesign over its predecessor.

Nov 5, 2024

Just over 24 hours since the Realme GT7 Pro launched, it has broken the company’s record for first-day sales across all new product launches. Priced at 3,599 Yuan (around $500) in China for the 12GB RAM and 256GB storage variant, the GT7 Pro’s popularity reflects its exceptional value, particularly given its impressive specifications.

The GT7 Pro is also available for import outside China through platforms like Giztop, where it’s priced at $619.

Realme GT7 Pro details:

This includes the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, a 6,500mAh Si-C battery with ultra-fast 120W charging, and a customized Samsung eye-protection display that offers a higher global peak brightness than most of its competitors. The device also stands out for its 3D Qualcomm ultrasonic fingerprint scanner, which is rare in this price range.

The Realme GT7 Pro boasts cutting-edge specs tailored for both performance and media enthusiasts. The device features a customized 6.78-inch Samsung Eco² OLED Plus display with 2K resolution, offering crisp visuals and smooth scrolling at a 120Hz refresh rate. This new display panel reportedly reduces power consumption by up to 52%, making it suitable for extended use without sacrificing quality. Notably, the display includes eye-protection technology to reduce strain during prolonged use.

As for the performance, the Snapdragon 8 Elite offers a significant improvement across CPU, GPU, and NPU capabilities over its predecessor. This is paired with Realme’s 11480mm² dual VC cooling system, promising what the company calls the “strongest heat dissipation experience” in real-world usage.

While initial tests have revealed thermal throttling issues while running benchmarks, that turned out to be due to an inappropriate software optimization, and could be fixed in a future software update.

With record-breaking first-day sales and appealing features, the GT7 Pro is proving to be a strong contender in the cost-effectiveness segment of the Chinese smartphone market.

The camera setup includes a 50MP primary sensor with optical image stabilization (OIS), a 3x periscope zoom lens, and additional ultra-wide and macro options, delivering versatile photography capabilities. The phone, with an IP69 dust and water resistance rating, also supports underwater photography, which is a nice-to-have feature for even top-of-the-line flagships.

Its large 6,500mAh battery, paired with 120W charging, minimizes downtime by charging the phone up to 50% within only 14 minutes.

Overall, the Realme GT7 Pro combines high-end components with affordability, which has contributed to its record-breaking sales. With import availability, its appeal extends beyond China, offering users globally an attractive option in the premium mid-range market.

The device is expected to feature a stunning 1.5K straight display along with a larger battery capacity. The device could be powered by last year’s flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor.

Nov 5, 2024

Oppo has introduced its 2024 flagship smartphones, the Find X8 and Find X8 Pro, in China, boasting upgraded designs and significant camera advancements.

While they aren’t yet officially available outside China, enthusiasts worldwide can still import these models through sites like Giztop and TradingShenzhen.

These retailers are among the first to offer the devices internationally, allowing fans to get early access to the latest releases while they are officially exclusive to China.

However, imported versions come with a few software limitations, such as a lack of Android Auto support and potential compatibility issues with some banking and contactless payment apps. Nonetheless, Google Play Services are included, meaning most apps should function without issues.

Price tag for those willing to import

Giztop offers the Find X8 and Find X8 Pro at starting prices of $699 and $899, respectively, for the 12 GB RAM and 256 GB models.

TradingShenzhen, while generally priced higher, also sells the regular and Pro models, starting around $725 and $920 for the 12GB+256GB variant.

These options provide global Oppo fans with access to the latest flagship hardware, although careful consideration of import limitations is advised.

Under the hood, both phones are powered by MediaTek’s Dimensity 9400 chipset, a robust alternative to Snapdragon 8 Elite. The Dimensity 9400, built on a 3nm process, boasts improved CPU architecture that delivers substantial boosts in both single-core and multi-core speeds, along with a 40% enhancement in power efficiency, which helps extend battery life significantly. This chipset also includes a next-gen AI engine, optimized for on-device AI applications and high-quality video generation.

Furthermore, its 12-core GPU offers advanced ray tracing capabilities and hyper-realistic visuals, delivering up to a 40% improvement in gaming performance and graphics quality. In contrast, the Snapdragon 8 Elite holds an edge in certain AI tasks and efficiency, but MediaTek’s enhancements in the Dimensity 9400 make it a compelling choice for high-performance devices that don’t break the bank.

What to expect from the Huawei Mate 70 series?

Nov 5, 2024

Huawei’s Mate series of flagship phones, known for offering top-notch specifications and cameras, has always received positive reception from critics and general users. The Mate 60 series, launched last year, saw a remarkable market response, with phones selling out immediately after release. However, due to US sanctions, Huawei phones are now limited to the Chinese market, and the Mate 60 remained confined to China.

Recently, the company confirmed that it will announce the Mate 70 series of smartphones later this month in China. The Mate 70 series is generating significant buzz in the tech world, with leaks and rumors hinting at a compelling lineup of flagship smartphones. While Huawei remains tight-lipped about the official details, here’s what we can anticipate based on the available information:

Prev Next

1. Design and Display

The Mate 70 series is expected to retain the iconic circular camera module, housing four camera sensors arranged in a square formation. However, the module might be integrated into a circular or elliptical island, adding a unique visual element.

Rumors suggest a special “Ultimate Design” (UD) variant will replace the Mate 60 RS, possibly drawing inspiration from the Mate XT, which debuted a few weeks ago as the world’s first tri-foldable phone. So, the lineup may include multiple models, such as the Mate 70, Mate 70 Pro, Mate 70 Pro+, and Mate 70 Ultimate Design.

It is almost certain that the Mate 70 will feature a large, high-resolution curved-edge display with a 120Hz refresh rate, providing smooth visuals and an immersive viewing experience. The Mate 70 is expected to have a single punch-hole display, while the higher models may adopt a triple camera punch-hole design, similar to their predecessors.

2. Performance and Hardware

A new Kirin 9000-series chipset, possibly based on a 5nm process, is likely to power the Mate 70 series. This should translate to significant performance gains and improved power efficiency.

Speculations suggest the Mate 70 series might launch with HarmonyOS Next as the primary operating system, but with the intriguing possibility of dual-booting Android for greater app compatibility.

Readers can visit this post to learn all about HarmonyOS Next. This dedicated post provides details about the complete list of supported devices and updated timeline. HarmonyOS has been steadily gaining market share in China, and it’s poised to be a threat to Android and iOS in the coming years. Readers can visit this post to learn how HarmonyOS differs from Android.

3. Camera Capabilities

While specific details are scarce, the Mate 70 series is expected to arrive with a cutting-edge camera system, possibly featuring improved sensors, enhanced zoom capabilities, and advanced image processing algorithms. Likely, the Pro models may come equipped with a 1-inch primary camera. Huawei’s proprietary XMAGE branding will likely continue to play a prominent role, highlighting the company’s focus on mobile imaging excellence.

4. Other Features

With the current trend of offering silicon-carbon batteries with larger capacities in the smartphone industry, it is likely that Huawei may also join the bandwagon. Except for the standard model, the Mate 60 series offered 6,000mAh batteries with 88W rapid charging. There’s a possibility that the Mate 70 series may pack larger batteries along with 88W rapid charging. The entire lineup may support 50W wireless charging and up to 20W reverse wireless charging.

Rumor has it that the display will house an upgraded ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, providing faster and more reliable biometric authentication. Despite ongoing challenges, 5G connectivity is likely to be a standard feature across the Mate 70 lineup.

5. Launch and Availability

While Huawei has officially confirmed that the Mate 70 series will debut in November, it has yet to announce a specific launch date. There are rumors suggesting an announcement on Nov. 19. The release of the Mate 70 series in markets outside of China remains unclear.

The smartphone market has witnessed the arrival of two flagship models from prominent brands: the Realme GT 7 Pro and the OnePlus 13. Both devices are packed with high-end features and competitive pricing, which leaves consumers wondering: is the Realme GT 7 Pro worth choosing over the OnePlus 13? This article compares the specifications, performance, camera systems, battery, and pricing of both devices to help you decide.

Prev Next

1. Display & Build Quality

The Realme GT 7 Pro and the OnePlus 13 both boast impressive displays. The GT 7 Pro features a 6.78-inch 1.5K LTPO Eco² OLED Plus micro-curved screen from Samsung Display.

It also has a 120% DCI-P3 color gamut and a high 2600Hz instant touch sampling rate for responsive touch feedback, ideal for gaming and smooth scrolling.

Meanwhile, the OnePlus 13 features a 6.82-inch BOE X2 2K+ LTPO AMOLED display with a slightly higher resolution, boasting a peak brightness of 4,500 nits and earning DisplayMate’s A++ ratings for exceptional quality. It supports HDR and Dolby Vision, like the GT 7 Pro, but also adds the durability of Crystal Shield ceramic glass protection. Ultimately, the Realme GT 7 Pro edges ahead in peak brightness, making it preferable for users needing high visibility in direct sunlight.

2. Performance

Both phones are powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC, Qualcomm’s latest and most powerful mobile processor. The GT 7 Pro is available with up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and up to 1TB of UFS 4.0 storage, ensuring fast processing and smooth multitasking. It also includes a dual-sided antenna and Sky Communication System 2.0 for better network reliability and reduced gaming lag, along with an 11,480mm² dual VC cooling system to maintain performance during extended use.

The OnePlus 13 also offers up to 24GB of LPDDR5X RAM and up to 1TB of UFS 4.0 storage, making it one of the most powerful multitasking devices in the market. Its 9925mm² VC heat dissipation system is slightly smaller but remains highly effective in controlling temperature. The OnePlus 13 also features the Bionic Vibration Motor Turbo with 4D game-specific vibration, giving it an edge for gaming enthusiasts who prioritize immersive feedback.

The OnePlus 13 has a slight edge if you’re looking for the highest configuration upgrade, as it offers 24GB RAM, ensuring lag-free gaming and daily tasks while also being future-proof for the long term.

3. Cameras

Realme GT 7 Pro features a versatile camera setup, including a 50MP Sony IMX906 main sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide lens, and a 50MP Sony IMX882 3x periscope telephoto lens, supporting 6x lossless zoom and up to 120x digital zoom. Its AI Zoom Ultra Clarity feature enhances image quality at higher zoom levels, making it an excellent choice for photography enthusiasts seeking sharper telephoto shots. However, the front camera is limited to 16MP, which is sufficient but could have benefited from a higher resolution.

OnePlus 13 counters with its own robust camera system. It includes a 50MP Sony LYT-808 main sensor, a 50MP ultra-wide camera with a 120° field of view, and a 50MP LYT-600 periscope telephoto lens which also offers 6x lossless zoom and up to 120x digital zoom. This setup includes a “multi-prism reflection structure” periscope, designed to enhance clarity and focusing speed.

For video, both phones support up to 8K recording; however, the OnePlus 13 records at up to 30fps, compared to the GT 7 Pro’s 24fps. Additionally, the OnePlus 13 features a higher-resolution 32MP front camera, providing improved quality for selfies and video calls.

So yes! On paper, the OnePlus 13 offers a more versatile camera setup.

4. Battery & Charging

The Realme GT 7 Pro features a substantial 6500mAh battery with impressive 120W fast charging, reaching 50% in just 14 minutes. Its battery design includes a silicon-carbon negative electrode with a high 10% silicon content, enhancing durability and lifespan. Realme’s longevity algorithm further ensures battery health for up to four years, a valuable feature for users who don’t upgrade often.

In comparison, the OnePlus 13 has a slightly smaller 6000mAh battery but supports 100W SuperVOOC fast charging, 50W wireless charging, and magnetic charging. With OnePlus’s dual-cell battery technology, it can fully charge in just 36 minutes. The added convenience of fast wireless charging makes the OnePlus 13 a great option for those who prefer a cable-free experience.

5. Additional Features

Both models come with water and dust resistance, rated IP68 and IP69, making them ideal for rugged use.

On the software front, the GT 7 Pro runs on Android 15 with Realme UI 6.0, and Realme commits to three major Android updates and four years of security patches.

OnePlus, offering Android 15 with ColorOS 15 in China and OxygenOS 15 globally, provides four major Android updates and five years of security updates.

6. Pricing & Value

The Realme GT 7 Pro starts at approximately 3,699 yuan ($521) for the 12GB+256GB variant, with higher configurations up to 4799 yuan ($676) for the 16GB+1TB variant. It is available in Mars Orange, Star Trail Titanium, and White color options.

The OnePlus 13 is slightly more expensive, starting at 4,499 yuan ($633) for the base model with 12GB+256GB. The top-end 24GB+1TB model goes up to 5,999 yuan ($845). It’s offered in Obsidian, Blue, and White with unique textures and materials.

7. Verdict: Which One to Choose?

Both the Realme GT 7 Pro and OnePlus 13 excel in different areas. The Realme GT 7 Pro is an excellent choice for users who prioritize display brightness, extensive battery life, and high-speed charging. Its cooling technology and Sky Communication system also make it ideal for gamers.

However, the OnePlus 13 justifies its slightly higher price with advanced features like wireless charging, an immersive vibration motor, and a more refined camera system for both photography and videography. Its additional RAM option (24GB) further enhances multitasking potential, catering to power users.

In conclusion, if your priority is to get the best performance and value for gaming and multimedia, the Realme GT 7 Pro offers a fantastic package at a lower price point. However, if you prefer a more comprehensive feature set with additional conveniences like wireless charging, advanced materials, and a top-tier camera system, the OnePlus 13 may be worth the extra investment.
