Qualcomm announced the 4nm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 smartphone chipset in November 2021. A month later MediaTek released the Dimensity 9000, featuring the same cores and core cluster.

With these chipsets, the chip giants aim to capture the premium smartphone segment. Although the two chips use the same cores and core cluster, they have many differences. In this post, we’ll compare the Dimensity 9000 chip against the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 to see how they compare.

Benchmarks

[Geekbench 6]

• Dimensity 9000
  • Single core: 1,440
  • Multi core: 3,775
• Snapdragon 8 Gen 1
  • Single core: 1,595
  • Multi core: 3,868

[AnTuTu V10]

• Dimensity 9000
  • CPU: 282060
  • GPU: 263553
  • Memory: 163826
  • UX: 215730
  • Total: 925169
• Snapdragon 8 Gen 1
  • CPU: 299031
  • GPU: 419757
  • Memory: 198841
  • UX: 239181
  • Total: 1156810

CPU Performance

The Dimensity 9000 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 have the same (1+3+4) core cluster. The cores are unchanged, but they have slightly different clock speeds.

The Cortex-X2 prime core in the Dimensity 9000 runs at a slightly higher clocked speed of 3.05 GHz (vs. 3.0 GHz in the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1). Also, the Cortex-A710 performance cores are slightly overclocked in the Dimensity chip.

The Dimensity 9000 is ahead of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 in the CPU spec sheet, but benchmarking platforms tell a different story. For example, the Geekbench 6 tests show that the Snapdragon chip has higher single and multi-core scores than the Dimensity chip, although the difference is not much.

Geekbench results for the two chips are nearly similar, but the AnTuTu benchmark shows a significant difference. The Xiaomi 12 Pro (powered by Snapdragon 8 Gen 1) scores 25% more points than the OnePlus Nord 3 5G (powered by Dimensity 9000) on the AnuTuTu (V10) benchmark.

So, the bottom line is that the Dimensity 9000 CPU specs look good on paper, but benchmarks favour the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. 

GPU Performance

The Dimensity 9000 chip’s graphics power comes from ARM Mali-G710 MC10, a 10-core MediaTek GPU, while the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip has Adreno 730 for handling graphics tasks.

Both GPUs can handle high-end games while offering great smoothness. They achieve similar performance and benchmarking scores.

The Adreno 730 in Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 retains a higher frame rate for a slightly longer duration than the Mali-G710 MC10 and offers a slightly higher frame rate in several games. However, that’s not true for all games. In games such as PUBG Mobile, the Mali-G710 MC10 performs better than the Adreno 730.

Memory Support

The Dimensity 9000 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chips use UFS 3.1 fast storage. However, they are different in terms of RAM technology. The former uses LPDDR5X RAM, which is nearly 20% more power-efficient than LPDDR5 RAM in the Snapdragon chip.

Camera Support

The Dimensity 9000 chip uses the Imagiq 790 18-bit HDR ISP, while the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 features the Spectra 18-bit ISP. Both chips support recording videos from three cameras simultaneously.

Dimensity 9000 is the world’s first smartphone chip with simultaneous triple camera 18-bit HDR video recording (three cameras recording with three exposures per frame). It’s also the first smartphone chip to support a 320MP camera sensor, which is limited up to 200MP in the Snapdragon chip.

Despite its high camera resolution, the Dimensity 9000 lacks 8K video recording, which is supported by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. The Snapdragon chip can take up to 4K slow-mo videos at 120 fps.

Display Support

The Snapdragon is clearly ahead of the Dimensity chip in terms of display resolution. The former supports up to 4K Ultra HD display at 60Hz, while the latter only supports up to WQHD+ resolution at 144Hz.

Connectivity Features

The Dimensity 9000 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chips support necessary connectivity features such as 5G, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 4.3, NFC, and location features — GPS, QZSS, Beidou, Galileo, GLONASS, and NavIC. However, they do offer different peak download and upload speeds.

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip has a Snapdragon X65 5G modem, offering up to 10Gbps peak download speed, while the R16 5G modem in Dimensity 9000 has a peak download speed of 7Gbps. The peak upload speed is also higher in the Snapdragon chip, which is 3.6Gbbs (vs. 2.5Gbps in Dimensity 9000).

Dimensity 9000 vs Snapdragon 8 Gen 1: Which is Better?

Both Dimensity 9000 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 are powerful smartphone chipsets. The CPU performance of the two chipsets is similar, but the Snapdragon chip performs a little better on the benchmarks. They also have similar GPU performance and can handle high-end games while offering stable frame rates.

One of the major differences between the two chips is their ability to record videos. While the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 can take 8K videos, the Dimensity can only support up to 4K video recording. Also, the Snapdragon chip supports higher display resolution. But, the Dimensity chip leaves the Snapdragon chip way behind by offering up to 320MP camera support (vs. 200MP in Snapdragon 8 Gen 1).

Last but not least, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 is more power efficient than the Dimensity 9000 chip. Now, make a list of your priorities and choose the one that fits your needs.

On March 7, the OnePlus Ace 2V will be unveiled in China. To keep its audience intrigued, the company has been using its Weibo account to confirm the phone’s significant features. The company has already confirmed that the Ace 2V has the Dimensity 9000 chipset and large heat dissipation. In a Weibo poster, the company confirmed that it has LPDDR5x RAM and UFS 3.1 storage.

The OnePlus Ace 2, which was launched in China in February and is powered by Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1, also comes in 12GB + 256GB and 16GB + 256GB configurations.

It is likely that the Ace 2V with the Dimensity 9000 chipset will be positioned lower than the Ace 2. The Ace 2’s base model is priced at 2,799 Yuan (~$407). This has sparked speculation that the base model of the Ace 2V could be priced at CNY 2,399 (~$349).

Reports have revealed that the OnePlus Ace 2V has a 6.74-inch OLED screen with a 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. The device will have a 5,000mAh battery with 100W charging. The Ace 2V will also come with a 16-megapixel front camera and OIS-enabled 64-megapixel triple rear cameras. The device will ship with OxygenOS 13-based Android 13 OS.

It seems that the global market will not be getting the Ace 2V. Instead, the phone will be rebranded as the OnePlus Nord 3 for the global market, according to recent leaks. The Nord 3 is rumored to be announced in July.

Recent rumours say that Vivo is making a new tablet to replace the Vivo Pad, which came out in April 2022. A reliable source, Digital Chat Station, says that this new tablet, which is likely to be called the Vivo Pad 2, will have the Dimensity 9000 chipset. This is the same chipset that will likely run the OnePlus Pad and the OPPO Pad 2 when they come out. Unfortunately, there are no other specifications available at this time.

It is believed that the Vivo Pad 2 will be released alongside two other devices, the Vivo X Fold 2 and the Vivo X Flip, at an event in April this year. The Vivo X Fold 2 is expected to be the first foldable phone to use the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 mobile platform, while the Vivo X Flip is expected to use the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chipset.

The original Vivo Pad had an 11-inch IPS LCD screen with a 1600 x 2560 pixels resolution, a 16:10 aspect ratio, and a 120Hz refresh rate. It was powered by the Snapdragon 870 mobile platform with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB / 256 GB of UFS 3.1 storage.

The Vivo Pad also had four speakers for audio. It had a front camera with an 8-megapixel resolution and a back camera with a 13-megapixel main camera and an 8-megapixel ultra-wide snapper. The tablet had an 8,040mAh battery that supported 44W fast charging. It ran on OriginOS for Pad-based Android 12 OS.

It remains to be seen what other features and specifications the Vivo Pad 2 will have. However, it is expected to be a worthy successor to the original Vivo Pad.

The post OnePlus Nord 3 Launch Timeline Unveiled, Could Be a Rebranded OnePlus Ace 2V appeared first on Gizmochina.

After OnePlus officially announced today that its OnePlus Ace 2V will be launched on March 7 in China, the brand quickly shared some teasers regarding the upcoming device’s premium build quality.

OnePlus posted on its official Chinese Weibo account today stating that it looks to forever change the mid-range smartphone market, as the upcoming OnePlus Ace 2V will be the brand’s first-ever mid-ranger to feature flagship-grade flat aluminium side-rails. 

According to OnePlus, the OnePlus Ace 2V features a metal and glass unibody design that will have flat flagship-grade aluminium side rails, along with a premium glass back to boot, similar to the style that Apple employs in its iPhone 14 series. The brand exclaims that current flagship killers in the smartphone space, always feature polycarbonate plastic rails that made the overall ergonomics of the smartphone worse, clearly implying that cost-cutting was done in the durability department. And the OnePlus Ace 2V aims to be the first premium-feeling flagship killer with flagship-grade materials to boot.

Besides feeling good in the hands, the OnePlus Ace 2V is also advertised to be looking beautiful to the eyes, because of its narrow bezel. Louis Lee, CEO of OnePlus China, has shared a photo that the OnePlus Ace 2V will have side bezels as thin as 1.46mm, and a bottom chin bezel as thin as 2.31mm, for context that is comparable to flagships such as the Xiaomi 13, iPhone 14, and Samsung Galaxy S23.

Louis also shared more details of the OnePlus Ace 2V colour options, the Mint Green option will feature a premium glossy green glass black similar to the Oppo Find X5 Pro, and the Charcoal Black option will feature a frosted matte black finish on the back, found on its flagships such as the OnePlus 10 Pro.

Lastly, OnePlus announced that moving forward all of its future OnePlus Ace devices will be using flagship-grade aluminium for its side rails as well because it wants to set a high standard for durability and ergonomics in the flagship killer mid-range space.

According to reports, the OnePlus Ace 2V will have a 6.74-inch 1.5K AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. Under the hood, it will feature the Dimensity 9000 chipset, 16 GB of LPDDR5x RAM, up to 512 GB of UFS 3.1 storage, and a 5,000mAh battery with 80W charging support. It is also reported previously to be launching in the global markets as the OnePlus Nord 3 in July 2023.

The post OnePlus Ace 2V (Nord 3) Has Flagship-Grade Aluminium Frame, All Ace Devices will get Aluminium appeared first on Gizmochina.

OnePlus is gearing up to launch the OnePlus Ace 2 Dimensity Edition in China. Reports claim that it will be unveiled in March in the home market. Ahead of the expected launch, tipster Digital Chat Station has released a poster to showcase the front design of the Ace 2 Dimensity Edition.

The image shared by DCS shows that Ace 2 Dimensity Edition has a flat screen with a centred punch-hole. The bezels of the device are very narrow, which indicates that it will offer an impressive screen-to-body ratio. As per reports, it has a 6.74-inch OLED display that offers a 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. For security, it has an under-display fingerprint scanner.

The rear design of the phone is yet to be revealed. For photography, it is expected to feature a 64-megapixel (main, with OIS) + 8-megapixel (ultra-wide) + 2-megapixel (macro) triple camera unit, and a 16-megapixel front-facing camera. It will come preloaded with the ColorOS 13-based Android 13 OS.

The Dimensity 9000 chip will power the Ace 2 Dimensity Edition. The handset may offer up to 12 GB of LPDDR4x RAM and 512 GB of UFS 3.1 storage. It may pack a 5,000mAh battery with 80W charging support.

Readers should note that the Ace 2 Dimensity Edition is only the device’s tentative name. Before the official announcement, teasers are likely to show what the real name of the device will be. A report that surfaced yesterday revealed the key specifications of the OnePlus Nord 3. Its specs were found to be quite similar to the Ace 2 Dimensity Edition. So, it looks like the next Ace model might be called the OnePlus Nord 3 in markets other than China.

The post OnePlus Ace 2 Dimensity Edition Front Design Leak, Likely to be Rebadged as Nord 3 Outside China appeared first on Gizmochina.

OnePlus seems to have started teasing the arrival of the Ace 2 Dimensity Edition. Today, OnePlus China President Li Jie took to Weibo to release a teaser image, that hints at the arrival of the next Ace-branded smartphone. In addition, the said device, which has the model number PHP110, has been approved by the National Compulsory Product Certification in China. This indicates the Ace 2 Dimensity Edition will debut in the next few weeks.

Last month, the OnePlus Ace 2 Dimensity Edition was spotted at the MIIT certification, and now it has bagged yet another certification in the home market. Previous leaks have claimed that the OnePlus Ace 2 Dimensity Edition has a 5,000mAh battery with 100W charging support. However, the Chinese certification has revealed that the device may offer 80W fast charging. Hence, it appears that it will be the first time a OnePlus device will support 80W charging.

OnePlus Ace 2 Dimensity Edition specifications (rumoured)

In terms of other specs, previous leaks have shown that the OnePlus Ace 2 Dimensity Edition will have a 6.74-inch OLED screen with a Full HD+ resolution of 2772 x 1240 pixels. The punch-hole screen will be integrated with a fingerprint sensor.

The OnePlus Ace 2 has been announced in China. Some of its key features include a 6.7-inch AMOLED with support for a 144Hz refresh rate, the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chipset, 50-megapixel triple rear cameras, and 100W charging. The same device has been rebranded as the OnePlus 11R 5G in the Indian market. Now, in a new leak, reliable tipster Digital Chat Station has revealed that OnePlus is working on a new Ace-branded phone for the Chinese market. He has tipped the model number and key specifications of the device.

According to the tipster, the next OnePlus Ace has the model number PHP110. He revealed that the device has a 6.7-inch flat AMOLED display with a centrally positioned punch-hole. The device offers a 1.5K resolution of 2772 x 1240 pixels and high-frequency dimming.

Under the hood, the device will feature the Dimensity 9000 chipset and 16GB of RAM. It will be backed by a 5,000mAh battery that supports 100W charging.

The leak states that its rear camera setup will feature a 64-megapixel OmniVision OV64M main camera with an f/1.79 aperture, an 8-megapixel Sony IMX355 ultra-wide lens, and a 2-megapixel GalaxyCore GC02M macro camera.

Last year, OnePlus released three Ace-branded models in China, such as the OnePlus Ace, the OnePlus Ace Racing Edition, and the OnePlus Ace Pro. The Ace 2 has been announced as a successor to the original Ace. The OnePlus Ace 2 Racing Edition is said to have a Dimensity 8200 chip onboard. The same device is likely to be called the OnePlus Nord 3 in the global market. Hence, it appears that the OnePlus Ace phone with model number PHP110 could be the OnePlus Ace 2 Pro.

Oppo is likely to hold its next major launch in February in China. The event is expected to see the arrival of the Find X6 lineup and the second-generation Oppo Pad. Earlier this week, tipster Digital Chat Station shared some details on the display, chipset, and battery of the Pad 2. Now, the tipster is back with some more information about the device.

To recall, the Oppo Pad that debuted in February 2022 came equipped with a 13-megapixel camera on the back and an 8-megapixel. The new leak reveals that the megapixel count of the front and rear cameras of the Oppo Pad 2 will be the same as that of its predecessor. However, it is unclear whether it will inherit the exact same camera sensors.

Being a flagship tablet, the Oppo Pad 2 will come equipped with 12 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage. There is a possibility that it will come in lower configurations. The tablet will come preloaded with ColorOS 13.1, according to the tipster. To be more specific, it will most likely run on tablet-optimized ColorOS 13.1 for tablet-based Android 13 OS.

As per the previous leak by DCS, the Oppo Pad 2 will arrive with an 11.x-inch LCD panel with a 144Hz refresh rate. It will offer a resolution of 2800 x 2000 pixels, Dolby Vision, and HDR10+. Under the hood, it will have the Dimensity 9000 SoC and a 9,500mAh battery, which is expected to support 67W fast charging. Its design is likely to be similar to the OnePlus Pad.

Later this month, Oppo may hold a mega launch event to announce several new devices, including the Find X6 series and the Oppo Pad 2 in China. It appears that the Chinese manufacturer will release an official confirmation about the launch event in the next few days.

Devices that get certified by the Bluetooth SIG authority are known to go official within a period of one month. The upcoming Oppo Pad 2 has been approved by the Bluetooth SIG. Hence, it appears that the tablet may go official at some point in February, at least in China.

The Oppo Pad 2 has been spotted with model number OPD2201 on the Bluetooth SIG certification site. The listing suggests that the device will come preloaded with ColorOS 13.1-based Android and support Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity.

Oppo’s sibling brand OnePlus will announce the OnePlus Pad on Feb. 7 in India. There is a possibility that the Oppo Pad 2 and OnePlus Pad could be identical devices. As compared to the original Oppo Pad that debuted in February 2022, the Pad 2 is expected to offer a better display, improved performance, and faster charging capabilities.

Reports have revealed that the Oppo Pad 2 may arrive with an 11.x-inch LCD panel that supports 2800 x 2000 pixels resolution, a 144Hz refresh rate, Dolby Vision, and HDR10+. The Pad 2 is expected to feature the Dimensity 9000 chipset and pack a 9,500mAh battery. The tablet may carry support for 67W fast charging.

The Pad 2’s design is said to be identical to the OnePlus Pad. It’s still not clear if it will have cellular connectivity since its predecessor didn’t. Hopefully, the upcoming reports will shed more details about Oppo’s upcoming tablet.

Oppo is expected to announce the Find X6, Find X6 Pro Snapdragon Edition, and Find X6 Pro Dimensity Edition in China in February. The same event could be used to unveil the Oppo Pad 2. Like its predecessor, it is expected to be priced at around ~$350 in the Chinese market. It is unclear whether the Pad 2 will be released in markets outside of China.

Last year, Oppo unveiled the Oppo Pad tablet alongside the Find X5 series of smartphones in February in China. Several reports have claimed that the Chinese manufacturer is working on its successor edition. A new leak that has surfaced on Weibo (via. TechGoing) has revealed key information on its display, battery, and charging capabilities.

According to tipster Digital Chat Station, the Oppo Pad 2 will arrive with an 11.x-inch screen. To recall, the original Oppo Pad came equipped with an 11.0-inch display that offered 1600 x 2560 pixels resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. As per the leak, the successor edition’s LCD panel will offer a higher resolution of 2800 x 2000 pixels and a 144Hz refresh rate. It will come equipped with support for Dolby Vision and HDR10+.

The Oppo Pad 2 will be powered by a 9,500 mAh battery. It is likely that the device will support 67W fast charging. DCS has previously revealed that the Oppo Pad 2 will be equipped with the Dimensity 9000 chipset. The device is expected to run on the ColorOS for Pad-based Android 13 OS.

As far as design is concerned, the Oppo Pad will look similar to the OnePlus Pad, which is set to launch on Feb. 7 in India. It remains to be seen whether the OnePlus Pad ends up as a rebranded version of the Oppo Pad 2. It is advisable to wait for more reports to confirm the other specs of Oppo’s next flagship tablet.

There is a possibility that Oppo may announce the Oppo Find X6, X6 Pro, and X6 Pro Dimensity Edition in February in China. The same event could see the arrival of the Oppo Pad 2. The original Oppo Pad was priced at 2,299 Yuan (~$340) at launch. A similar price can be expected for its successor.

The Tecno Phantom X2 5G has just been made available for purchase in India, and now the company has started teasing the arrival of the Tecno Phantom X2. The Pro and vanilla models differ in the camera department, but the rest of their specs are identical. Now that the Phantom X2 Pro 5G has been treated in India, it may debut there by the end of this month.

Shown above is the first teaser of the Phantom X2 Pro. As can be seen, the major attraction of the device is that it is equipped with the world’s first retractable 50-megapixel portrait camera. With a large 1.2-micron camera sensor onboard, it can intake more light to capture shots with the desired bokeh effect.

Customers who pre-book the Phantom X2 Pro on Amazon can benefit from offers like a discount of Rs 5,000 on smartphone exchange, 12 months of Amazon Prime membership, and no-cost EMI up to 6 months.

The post Tecno Phantom X2 Pro 5G India Launch Teased, Prebooking Offers Revealed appeared first on Gizmochina.

Tecno has mainly focused on the mid-range market in India. However, with the launch of the Phantom X2 and Phantom X2 Pro flagship phones, it appears that Tecno will soon rival other brands like Xiaomi, Realme, and OnePlus in the flagship category. The Phantom X2 and X2 Pro are almost identical phones, as their main differences are in the camera department. The Phantom X2 Pro, which hasn’t arrived yet in India, is equipped with an innovative retractable camera on the back. While we are unsure of the X2 Pro’s India launch, its regular version – the Phantom X2, is now up for purchase with a price tag of Rs 39,999 (~$487). Read on to what Tecno is offering on its latest flagship offering.

Tecno Phantom X2 5G – What’s in the box?

The Tecno Phantom X2 box includes the following items:

• Tecno Phantom X2 handset
• Hard case with kickstand
• SIM ejector tool
• 45W charger
• USB-A to USB-C charging cable
• Earphones with in-line microphone and USB-C connector

Design and Display

Starting from the back, the Tecno Phantom X2 features a polycarbonate body, which feels a bit hollow. The Moonlight Silver edition that we received feels smooth and shows different shades of silver depending on the light reflection. The device is fitted with a square-shaped camera module with rounded edges. It includes two large camera rings and a third camera. There is a quad-LED flash unit with an X-logo above it. The uniquely designed camera island has a 3.5D moon crater-inspired design.

The top edge of the Phantom X2 5G features a microphone. The left side is barren, while the right houses a volume rocker and a power key with a red accent. The bottom edge has a SIM slot, a microphone, a USB-C port, and a speaker grille. It lacks a 3.5mm audio jack, a second speaker for stereo output, and a microSD card slot.

Tecno has a marvellous front, which features a curved edge display with a centred punch-hole. The top and bottom bezels are quite chin and are almost symmetrical. The side bezels appear non-existent thanks to curved edges. Thanks to the slim bezels, it boasts a 93.5 percent screen-to-body ratio, according to Tecno The very look at the phone suggests that it is a premium device.  The display is shielded by Gorilla Glass Victus.

The Phantom X2’s display is quite bright and usable in bright sunlight. The adaptive brightness works as expected. There is a high brightness mode for an even clearer viewing experience under strong light. There is an eye-care mode The X2’s screen offers 60Hz, 120Hz, and auto-switch refresh rate modes.

Games like Alto’s Adventure work fine in 120Hz refresh rate mode. The two color profiles available on the device, such as Bright Colored and Original Color. The latter works fine but shows a blue tint. The X2 supports Widevine L1 for viewing HD content on OTT platforms. It supports HDR10, HDR10+, and HLG. It can smoothly run 2160p HDR content on YouTube. The position of the under-display fingerprint scanner is fine, and it works accurately.

Despite housing a massive 6.8-inch display, it is narrower than other smartphones that have a similar-sized screen. Because it measures 72.7mm in width, it feels good to hold the device. The phone measures nearly 9mm, but it does not feel that thick because of its curvy design. I am using the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, which weighs 228 grams, as my regular phone. Hence, the Phantom X2 5G, which weighs 201 grams, does not feel bulky to me. The spec sheet does not say anything about the IP rating of the device. The kickstand case available with the device has a vegan leather finish. Thanks to the brand for including it in the box, it urged me to watch a lot of content on YouTube / OTT platforms. This would not have been the case had it come with a regular transparent case.

Performance and Software

The Phantom X2 5G is the only other phone in India, apart from the Vivo X80, to feature the 4nm Dimensity 9000 chipset. The X90, a flagship phone focused on photography, is priced at Rs 54,999 (~$669). Apart from the inclusion of LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 storage, it also offers up to 5GB of “Memory Fusion,” which is Tecno’s way of saying “virtual RAM.”

The 5,160mAh battery of the X2 can easily last for more than a day on a full charge. It took around 73 minutes for the device to charge completely. I tested a couple of games, such as Garena Free Fire (Max + High setting), Shadow Fight 4, and Asphalt 9, on the X2, and the phone only became moderately warm after playing for an hour.

The official website of the Phantom X2 states that it has a vapor chamber cooling system but does not elaborate on it much. I did not encounter any heating issues on the X2. It recorded a very impressive score of 981192 on AnTuTu benchmarks, which reflects the smooth performance it promises.

The HiOS 12 and Android 12 OS feel much better on the Phantom X2 as compared to Tecno’s lower-priced models. Even though it comes with bloatware, some of which can be uninstalled, the notifications from such apps are not very obtrusive. Unwanted notifications. can simply be disabled. The OS is filled with plenty of features, such as call recording feature (without notification), Always-On Display (AOD) options, gesture navigation, app twin (clone Facebook and WhatsApp), smart panel (sidebar apps), multi-window, game mode, video assistant (prevents notifications while viewing a video), game assistant, kids mode, social turbo that offers features like WhatsApp call recording and voice changer, and so on to name a few. In addition, the OneLeap feature allows users to pair the Phantom X2 with a laptop to access features like data sharing, file management, multi-screen collaboration, and reverse network sharing.

On the lock screen, the Phantom X2 gives access to the camera (right corner) and torch (left corner). Swiping left on the homescreen gives access to frequently used apps, a steps counter, tips, important days, and a few more. The X2 comes with Tecno’s Ella assistant preinstalled, which works even if there is no data connection. The app drawer lists the apps from A to Z.

Searching for “Netflix” on the Play Store shows the following message, “This app won’t work for your device.” However, it can be downloaded from Tecno’s app store, called Palm Store, or by downloading the APK file from Netflix’s official website. Shown above is a look at the screenshots from each of the benchmark apps.

Photography and Other Features

The camera app offers shooting modes, such as AI camera, portrait, super night, video, film, documents (scanner), AR shot, slow motion, panorama, timelapse, sky shop, dual video, and Google Lens. The Pro mode is not available. The film mode offers preset like Vintage, Performance, Street, Sport, and so on for shooting video clips of a few seconds. The Sky mode can be used to add effects like Sunny, Rainbow, Sunset, Twilight, Starry, and more to shots that have the sky in the background. The feature is interesting and works fine. However, if there is a sun or moon in the background, even that is replaced by the selected filter.

The main camera takes 16-megapixel shots by default with pixel-binning technology. In daylight, the shots come out well with good dynamic range. While the size of regular shots can be around 5MB, when images are shot in 64MP mode, the file size increases to around 17MB. The large file size also means it captures images with more details. Portrait shots also come out well with or without background blur. It supports 2x to 10x digital zoom. The image produces softer results as the zoom is increased. However, the zoom shots are passable.

The ultrawide shots of the Phantom X2 are also impressive in brighter conditions. Images appear as good as if they were taken from the main camera. The support for autofocus enables the ultra-wide to capture macro shots. The X2 can shoot some good-quality macro shots.

The main snapper performs well in low-light conditions, with realistic colors, a good dynamic range, and less noise. The Super Night Mode takes a few more seconds to capture a shot but does well at enhancing the images when there are light sources. The ultra-wide camera does not impress in dim lighting conditions, but when there is enough light, the results are better.

The Phantom X2 can capture up to 4K at 60 fps with good details and clarity. However, Ultra-Steady video and bokeh effect are available for up to Full HD 30fps video. Ultra-wide video (Full HD) can be captured with Ultra-Steady mode on. The videos captured with the main camera have more detail and better color reproduction in both bright and low-light conditions. The color reproduction in ultra-wide videos is good, but the amount of noise is easily noticeable in when there isn’t enough light.

The 32-megapixel front camera captures detailed selfie shots. It offers various features like background blur, filters, HDR, super mode, AR shot, and adjustable LED flash via a slider. In any lighting condition, the front camera captures 32-megapixel shots in portrait mode. The standard selfie has an 8-megapixel resolution.

The front camera can shoot up to 1080p at 60 fps. Ultra-Steady video stabilization is only available for videos up to 1080p at 30 fps. Skin tones appear natural, and colors appear vibrant in selfie videos. However, it slightly struggles when adding bokeh effects to videos. The front camera also supports time-lapse and up to 960 fps slow-motion videos. The front camera captures decent shots with natural skin tones in areas with less light. Overall, the X2 does not disappoint in the photography department.

Tecno should have offered another speaker on the Phantom X2 for stereo output. Nevertheless, the sound output through the bottom-firing is not bad. Speaking of sound, the device is equipped with DTS Sound support. Not many flagship phones have FM radio onboard. Well, the Phantom X2 has it.  It is equipped with various sensors, such as a proximity sensor, ambient light sensor, 3-axis accelerometer, 6-axis gyroscope, proximity sensor, and compass. I did not encounter any issues with these. The USB-C port supports USB 2.0 transfer speeds. The Wi-Fi and other connectivity features work fine. The in-screen fingerprint scanner also works well as it can unlock the X2 without any delay.

Verdict

The Tecno Phantom X2 has an eye-catching design, offers a decent photography experience, and delivers good performance. In addition, the device will be receiving two major software updates. Aside from a few missing features, such as no IP rating and no secondary speaker, the Phantom X2 remains an appealing bargain at Rs 39,999 (~$487). While many brands do not even provide a charger along with the phone, Tecno should be appreciated for adding some goodies like a kickstand case and earphones in the Phantom X2’s box. I can’t think of any brand providing such accessories with the phone these days.

In addition, the Phantom X2 buyers in India can benefit from multiple offers, such as a Rs 5,000 (~$61) additional discount on smartphone exchange, 12 months of Amazon Prime membership, and no cost EMI starting at Rs 6,667 (~$81) per month. In addition, buyers will receive a 12-month warranty and 100 days of free screen replacement. Those who pre-ordered the X2 between Jan. 2 and Jan. 8 are eligible for a free upgrade to the Phantom X3, which is expected to launch later this year.

Some of the other phones that are currently available in a similar price range include the OnePlus 10R 150W, Realme GT Neo 5 150W, iQOO 9 5G, and Asus ROG Phone 5s. The gaming-focused ROG Phone 5s (8GB+128GB) is the only phone that comes close to the Phantom X2, but it is an older phone from 2021 featuring an older Snapdragon 888 Plus chip. The OnePlus 10R and Realme GT Neo 3 have the Dimensity 8100 chip, while the iQOO phone has the Snapdragon 888+.

Oppo is known for holding its INNO Day event, a platform for showcasing tech innovations, in December. Reports have claimed that the company is now gearing up for INNO Day 2022.

In a new leak, he has tipped the device’s key specifications once again. Among other things, the leak reveals that the flip phone will come equipped with a MediaTek chipset.

Oppo Find N Flip specifications (rumored)

The Oppo Find N Flip specifications leaked by DCS (via. TechGoing) reveal that it will be powered by the Dimensity 9000 chipset. On the front, it will have a 6.8-inch foldable E6 AMOLED screen.

Yesterday, Xiaomi took to its Weibo and Twitter handles to reveal that the Xiaomi 12S series of flagship phones will be unveiled on July 4 in China. The lineup has three phones, namely, the Xiaomi 12S, the Xiaomi 12S Pro, and the Xiaomi 12S Ultra. A reliable tipster has claimed that the Xiaomi 12S series will not be released in global markets.

According to Snoopy Tech, the Xiaomi 12S series will remain exclusive to China. When he was asked whether the 12S lineup would debut later in the global markets, he responded by saying that the overseas market would not receive the Xiaomi 12S series at all. He added that instead of the 12S, the global markets will receive the Xiaomi 12T series.

Since the July 4 launch event for the Xiaomi 12S series was tweeted by Xiaomi’s global Twitter handle and by the company’s founder and CEO, Lei Jun, it appeared that the lineup would also debut in markets outside China. It appears that there is no evidence for the existence of the global variants of the 12S, the S12 Pro, and the 12S Ultra.

Recent reports have revealed that the 2206123SC, 2206122SC, 2207122MC, and 2203121C are model numbers of the upcoming Xiaomi 12S, the 12S Pro, the 12S Pro Dimensity chipset variant, and the 12S Ultra. The letter ‘C’ in the model numbers indicates that they are China variants.

Usually, the global variants of Xiaomi devices have the letter “G” instead of the letter “C” in their model numbers. While the Chinese variants have been spotted at Chinese certification sites like CMIIT, 3C, and TENAA, their overseas variants have not been spotted at any of the global certification sites, which suggests that these devices may be released in markets outside China.

Xiaomi fans, not only in China but also in other markets, are eagerly waiting for the Xiaomi 12S Ultra. While it appears that its global variant may not exist, fans may want to wait more to see whether it gets a global release.

iQOO, the sub-brand of Vivo, has been actively launching new smartphones and the company is now gearing up to soon launch the next generation of its flagship smartphones under the iQOO 10 series.

Now, a new report from tipster Digital Chat Station claims that the company is currently testing a smartphone in the iQOO 10 series that will be powered by the newly announced MediaTek Dimensity 9000+ chipset.

Earlier, it was reported that the smartphone will come powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 processor. So, it’s not clear if the device powered by the Dimensity 9000+ SoC is the same one or if it’s another device in the lineup, or if the company plans to offer two different models of the smartphone.

The smartphone is also expected to come with a 2K+ LTPO display that will offer a 120Hz refresh rate and come with support for a large area for the under-display ultrasonic fingerprint sensor. In the camera department, the device is said to have a 50-megapixel primary camera in the triple-camera setup.

It appears that there will be two devices in the lineup — iQOO 10 and iQOO 10 Pro. The Pro model is expected to debut as the world’s first smartphone to have support for 200W fast charging technology which can fully charge the device within 12 minutes. While the launch date is not yet known, the phones are expected to go official in July this year.

Xiaomi is reportedly working on the launch of the Xiaomi 12S and 12S Pro flagship phones. The 12S series is expected to arrive as an updated version of the Xiaomi 12 and 12 Pro, which were announced in December 2021 in China. Since the Pro model has been seen at the 3C certification site, it looks like the 12S line will be out soon.

In May, three upcoming Xiaomi flagship phones with model numbers 2203121C, 2206123SC, and 2206122SC were spotted at the CMIIT certification site. These devices are likely to launch in China with marketing names such as Xiaomi 12 Ultra, Xiaomi 12S, and Xiaomi 12S Pro. All three phones are expected to feature the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset.

It is also speculated that the Xiaomi 12S Pro will also have a Dimensity 9000 chipset variant. A Xiaomi phone with model number 2207122MC that was recently spotted in the IMEI database is likely to debut as a Dimensity 9000 SoC version of the 12S Pro.

New information reveals that the Dimensity 9000 powered Xiaomi 12S Pro has received approval from the 3C authority of China. As can be seen in the screenshot above, the 2207122MC device has appeared with a 67W fast charger in 3C’s database. Unfortunately, the listing has no other information on its specifications.

Rumors are rife that the Xiaomi 12S Pro will house a 6.55-inch AMOLED FHD+ display, 64-megapixel triple rear cameras, a 16-megapixel front camera, and a 4,500mAh battery with 67W fast charging support. It will come preloaded with the MIUI 13 flavored Android 12 OS. As always, readers are requested to digest the specs leak of this phone with a pinch of salt.

Last year, Xiaomi launched the Mi Pad 5 aka the Xiaomi Pad 5 in multiple markets. The tablet is comparatively priced and brings some flagship features like 120Hz display on a mid-range offering.

An EEC listing revealed that the brand is working on a new tablet likely belonging to the Xiaomi Pad 6 series. And now, a 91mobiles report has revealed that there will be debuting four tablets for the next generation. According to the report, these tablets will have four model numbers:  L81, L81A, L82, and L83 corresponding to the Xiaomi Pad 6, the Pad 6 Pro, and the Pad 6 Pro 5G, and a Redmi tablet. The Pad 6 series will focus on the mid-range to flagship segment while the company will launch the Redmi tablet with an affordable price tag.

The report mentions that these tablets will come in two processor variants belonging to both MediaTek and Qualcomm, however, it’s currently unclear which region will receive which if not both SoC variants. The top-end model, likely the Xiaomi Pad 6 Pro 5G is rumored to come with the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 and Dimensity 9000 SoC.

Other than that, the report states that the fast charging capability of the upcoming tablets will increase from the current-gen 67W to 120W on a wired connection. The Pad 6 series is also expected to feature 144Hz LTPO displays, powerful speakers, and a newer version of MIUI for tablets. If these rumors turn out to be true, the upcoming tablet might turn out to be the best value for money proposition in the mid-range and flagship tier.

A recent report states that the next generation of Xiaomi tablets is expected to debut in August 2022, so stay tuned for more updates on the matter.

However, reliable source Teme claims that it will be equipped with the Snapdragon 778G Plus chipset.
