The smartphone industry has long since moved into the 5G era, but the final wave of 4G flagships from the late 2010s still has plenty to offer. These were the devices that closed the book on an entire generation, pushing 4G hardware and design to their peak before 5G became the new baseline.

Even in 2025, these phones hold their own. For streaming, social media, gaming, or video calls, 4G LTE is more than capable. What makes them appealing today is that they were engineered as premium devices, meaning top-tier cameras, high-end displays, and fast processors, qualities that many mid-range 5G phones still struggle to match.

iPhone 11 Pro / Pro Max

The iPhone 11 Pro was Apple’s final high-end iPhone to launch without 5G, making it the definitive 4G flagship in Apple’s lineup. Even six years later, the A13 Bionic chip keeps it fast, and iOS support ensures it runs the latest features in 2025. The 5.8-inch Super Retina XDR OLED screen looks sharp and bright, while the stainless steel build continues to feel luxurious.

Apple’s first triple-camera system still delivers excellent results. The wide, telephoto, and ultra-wide lenses are supported by Night Mode and Deep Fusion HDR, producing photos that can hold their own against mid-range phones today. Strong battery life, Face ID, and IP68 durability add to its longevity. For iOS fans, the 11 Pro remains the last great 4G iPhone worth owning.

Samsung Galaxy S10+

The Galaxy S10+ was the end of an era for Samsung, a flagship packed with features that have since disappeared. Its 6.4-inch Quad HD+ AMOLED display remains one of the best from its time, and it was the last Galaxy S-series flagship to include both a headphone jack and microSD slot.

Performance from the Snapdragon 855 or Exynos 9820 still handles everyday use with ease. The versatile triple-camera setup with wide, ultra-wide, and telephoto options delivers results that compare favorably to modern mid-rangers. Samsung ended software updates in 2023, but the S10+ is still a polished and versatile device that represents the final true 4G flagship from Samsung’s Galaxy S line.

Huawei P30 Pro

The Huawei P30 Pro closed Huawei’s Google-supported era while introducing groundbreaking camera tech. Its Leica quad-camera system with a 40MP RYYB main sensor and 5× periscope zoom was revolutionary, and its Night Mode made it one of the best low-light shooters ever. Even in 2025, the zoom capabilities rival many newer phones.

Beyond photography, it offered a 6.47-inch OLED display, a 4,200 mAh battery with 40W charging, and wireless charging, all powered by the Kirin 980 chip. As Huawei’s last 4G global flagship with Google services, the P30 Pro is more than just a phone; it is a piece of smartphone history that still works beautifully.

Google Pixel 4 XL

The Pixel 4 XL may not have had the flashiest hardware, but its software-driven photography made it one of the most influential 4G phones. The dual-lens setup was modest, but Google’s computational photography introduced astrophotography and refined Night Sight, producing photos that still stand out in 2025.

The Snapdragon 855 with a clean Android build keeps it responsive, and the 90Hz OLED display gives it a modern touch. Battery life was its weak spot, but for anyone seeking the pinnacle of Google’s camera-first philosophy in a 4G device, the Pixel 4 XL still makes sense as one of the last great 4G Pixels.

OnePlus 7T

The OnePlus 7T embodied the “flagship killer” spirit at the very end of the 4G era. With the Snapdragon 855+ and a smooth 90Hz AMOLED screen, it was designed for speed and fluidity. OxygenOS kept it snappy, and even in 2025 it remains one of the cleanest Android experiences.

Its triple-camera system, including a 48MP main sensor, 12MP telephoto, and 16MP ultra-wide, was complemented by a macro mode that allowed extreme close-up shots, a unique feature even today. Combined with 30W Warp Charge and solid build quality, the 7T stands as one of the most balanced and enduring 4G flagships.

Conclusion

These devices were not just flagships of their time; they were the final wave of phones that perfected 4G LTE before the industry shifted to 5G. Each offered something distinct: the iPhone 11 Pro with long-lasting iOS support, the Galaxy S10+ with unmatched versatility, the Huawei P30 Pro with groundbreaking zoom, the Pixel 4 XL with computational photography, and the OnePlus 7T with raw performance at a lower price.

And while these 2019 models defined the end of the 4G flagship era, Huawei’s modern Pura 80 and Pura 70 series continue the story. Due to U.S. restrictions, they still ship as 4G-only phones outside China, making them the most powerful 4G smartphones you can buy in 2025.

In an age where 5G is everywhere, these last great 4G flagships prove that speed is not everything. They show how great design, powerful processors, and advanced cameras can keep a device relevant long after its network era has passed.

The post The Last Best 4G Flagships Before the 5G Takeover appeared first on Gizmochina.

DXOMARK has released the display test results of the recently launched iPhone 12 Pro. And although it is two points short of topping the table, its touch accuracy seems to be poor compared to OnePlus 8 Pro.

Jumping right in, the iPhone 12 Pro scores 87 points overall in the DXOMARK Display test. With this, it shares 3rd place in the rankings alongside the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G. Currently, Samsung’s Note 20 Ultra 5G, which launched in August, tops the charts with 89 points. Thus, the iPhone 12 Pro misses out the crown by just 2 points.

Besides, it does well against the yesteryear iPhone 11 Pro Max which scores just 84 points. To compare, the iPhone 12 and 12 Pro have a smaller 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display compared to the iPhone 11 Pro Max‘s 6.5-inches. You can check out the rest of the specs below:

• Dimension, Aspect Ratio: 146.7 x 71.5 x 7.4 mm, 19.5:9
• Resolution: 1170×2532 pixels, and 460 PPI
• Maximum luminance: 1200 cd/m^2(candela).
• Refresh rate: 60Hz.

The report says that iPhone 12 Pro, has only slight improvements in Color, Video over the iPhone 11 Pro Max. However, in touch accuracy, both of them score only 61, and 57 points respectively. And are way behind OnePlus 8 Pro‘s 83 points. The latter sits at second in the rankings with an overall score of 88 points.

That said, talking about Pros, the device has good video brightness and contrast, smooth light transitions, good aliasing quality while gaming, and good image rendering under sunlight due to gamma.

As for Cons, it seems to have a Yellow cast in every activity, less luminance in dark lighting, low-light flickering, and more impact of Blue-light filter on brightness and color.

In the same price range, you can actually get either the iPhone 11 Pro Max or the iPhone 12 Pro. The former reached the price range of the latter thanks to street prices since the phone is one year old, while the iPhone 12 Pro is actually sold at its listing price. Does it make sense to still opt for the 11 Pro Max in 2021 or it is better to grab a unit of the iPhone 12 Pro? We hope to help you with this decision by publishing this specs comparison which will highlight the main differences between the 11 Pro Max and the iPhone 12 Pro.

Apple iPhone 11 Pro Max vs Apple iPhone 12 Pro

Design

Both iPhone 12 Pro and 11 Pro Max come with amazingly premium materials. Their bodies are composed of a glass back and a stainless steel frame and they both come with a borderless design including a notch on the front panel. I prefer the iPhone 12 Pro because it has more compact dimensions, a more attractive flag profile, and better water resistance (it is waterproof up to 6 meters deep instead of 4 meters guaranteed by the 11 Pro Max). Last but not least, the iPhone 12 is thinner and lighter.

Display

The displays of the iPhone 11 Pro Max and iPhone 12 Pro are not so different between them. They both feature Super Retina XDR OLED panels with the HDR10+ certification and a brightness up to 1200 nits, as well as Dolby Vision and True-Tone technologies, and a wide color gamut. The 11 Pro Max has more pixels but the pixel density is more or less the same. The real difference is the display diagonal: you get just 6.1 inches on the iPhone 12 Pro, while the 11 Pro Max has a 6.5-inch display. That is what would let me go for the 11 Pro Max. They both have a notch which includes the sensors for 3D facial recognition, and they do not pack a fingerprint scanner.

Specs & Software

The hardware and software department is one of the most important differences between iPhone 11 Pro Max and iPhone 12 Pro. The iPhone 12 Pro is equipped with a stronger Apple A14 Bionic chipset paired with 6 GB of RAM and up to 512 GB of internal storage. The 11 Pro Max has the same RAM and native storage, but it comes with a weaker Apple A13 Bionic. The iPhone 12 Pro is actually faster and it also comes with a more recent operating system out of the box. We are naturally talking about iOS 14.

Camera

The cameras of the iPhone 11 Pro Max and iPhone 12 Pro are very similar, but there are a few important differences. The iPhone 12 Pro has a brighter focal aperture for the main camera so it should be able to click better photos in a lot of conditions. Further, the iPhone 12 Pro has an additional LiDAR scanner that retrieves depth info for AR appliances and more. You can actually shoot better photos and record better videos with the iPhone 12 Pro. The front cameras are exactly the same, including a 12 MP sensor and an SL 3D sensor for 3D facial recognition.

Battery

The battery of the 11 Pro Max is a lot bigger than the one found on the iPhone 12 Pro. That is the reason why the battery life of the 11 Pro Max is longer in almost every scenario. You get 3969 mAh against just 2815 mAh and there is nothing the 5 nm A14 Bionic chipset can do to fill the gap. On the other hand, you get MagSafe support with the iPhone 12 Pro, which allows for better wireless charging.

Price

Thanks to online street prices, you can actually find the 256 GB variant of the iPhone11 Pro Max for about €1300/$1100, while the iPhone 12 Pro starts from almost €1200/$1000. The only real advantages offered by the 11 Pro Max are its bigger battery and its wider display, but if you exclude that, it does not make sense to get the Pro Max with the iPhone 12 Pro in the same price range. With the iPhone 12 Pro, you can get a better camera department, higher-end chipset, MagSafe, and 5G which are definitely more important features.

Apple launched the iPhone 12 series a couple of days back. It has the latest A14 Bionic SoC However, the company introduced this SoC a month earlier on iPad Air 4th generation. Today, AnTuTu reports the benchmarks of both the devices, and for some reason, the iPad is outsmarting the iPhone 12 here.

The benchmark report by AnTuTu shows that iPad Air 4 which is under testing boasts 4GB RAM and 256GB storage. The model number is iPad 13.1 and it is running on iPad OS 14.0.1. The device gets an overall score of 660,038 points. The CPU performance gets 183,817 points while the GPU score is 261,927 points.

Whereas the iPhone 12 scores 564,899 points in total. Also, Its CPU score is 167,894 which is 9.5% lesser than the score of iPad Air. further, the GPU score on iPhone 12 is also lesser at 201,085. Here, there is a wider gap of about 30%. That said, the disparity makes us wonder whether Apple has underclocked the SoC on the iPhone to match the battery and thermals.

1 of 3

In terms of RAM, the iPhone 12 also has 4GB RAM just like the iPad. This further kindles a crazy thought if the iPad OS is better suiting for the A14 SoC compared to the iOS. This is because the UX score of iPad is around 97,026 but iPhone’s UX is just 90,243 points. And, a similar AnTuTu score of an iPhone 12 Pro Max a month before released hinted at a score close to its sibling. It had clocked an overall score of 572,333 points.

Having said that, just like AnTuTu’s report says, maybe Apple’s A14 SoC runs more stable with a theoretically better thermally managed, bigger battery iPad Air 4. Of course, all these will remain only as speculations unless Apple comes with a reason by itself. Additionally, a graphical representation shows that iPhone 12’s GPU score has dropped when compared to last year’s iPhone 11 Pro Max.

Nevertheless, it’s too early to comment on what’s being said or reported, and let’s wait for more samples in the future. And, we can also expect the scores to get better as Apple optimizes the devices going forward.

Apple announced iPhone 12 series consisting of four models namely iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Mini, iPhone 12 Pro, and iPhone 12 Pro Max respectively. Like previous years, the company discontinued last year’s high-end Pro models (iPhone 11 Pro & iPhone 11 Pro Max) replacing them with this year’s models in most of the regions. For two years in a row, even India has been added in the list of those countries

When Apple announced iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max in 2018, it discontinued iPhone X in many countries, however, India was not one of them. But when the Cupertino-based tech giant unveiled iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone Pro Max in 2019, it discontinued its predecessors in the country.

Similarly, in 2020, the company has discontinued last year’s iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max after the announcement of iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max. However, the cheaper iPhone 11 and iPhone XR will be still available for purchase from all the official channels.

That said, although iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max has been removed from Apple online store in India, interested customers can still buy it from other resellers at discounted price ahead of Diwali festive season till stock lasts.

Apple has officially raised the prices of its current flagship smartphones, the iPhone 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max in India. The hike in price arrived after the Indian Government increased the Basic Custom Duty rates (BCD) after the newly recent union budget was publicly announced.

The iPhone 11 Pro series wasn’t the only device affected as the iPhone 8 series prices have also been affected. Notably, other Apple smartphones like the iPhone XR and iPhone 7 prices will not be affected as the Cupertino based giant has been assembling these models locally within India through its known manufacturers Foxconn and Wistron.

Furthermore, iPhone 11 prices will also remain unchanged as the company decided to absorb the cost after the increased customs duty. Apple’s other gadget offerings like the prices of the Apple Watch, Mac and iPads are unaffected as well. So now, the iPhone 11 Pro Max 64GB variant is priced at 1,11,200 INR while the 256GB variant is offered at 1,25,000 INR and 512GB variant arrives at 1,43,200 INR. Previously, the model started from 1,09,900 INR in India.

Similarly, the iPhone 11 Pro 64GB version is now priced at 1,01,200 INR while the 256GB version now sells for 1,15,200 INR and 512GB carries a price tag of 1,33,200 INR. The smartphone was originally priced at 99,900 INR. Finally, the iPhone 8 Plus 64GB variant will no sell for 50,600 INR and its 128GB variant will be priced at 55,600 INR. The base iPhone 8 64GB now costs 40,500 and the 128GB version is now sold for 45,500.

Thus, a price hike varying from 1,300 to 700 INR can be observed in the aforementioned Apple iPhones. In 2019, Apple saw one of its best performances in India as it finished sith in Q4 of 2019. Its the highest ranking the company has ever reported on since 2013, according to Canalys. Apple sold over 925,000 iPhones in the final quarter which is nearly double that of the same quarter from the previous year.

After the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S20 and the Xiaomi Mi 10 lineups, we think it is time to compare the most powerful variants of the flagship series from the hottest brands of the moment. If you are looking for the best Samsung flagship and you have no budget limits, then you should go for the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra. The latest and most powerful Chinese handset of the moment is the Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro, while iPhone 11 Pro Max is the best Apple mobile device. Through this comparison between their specifications, you can learn which one offers the highest number of advantages on the paper.

Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra vs Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro vs Apple iPhone 11 Pro Max

Design

You might find it very hard to make a decision after evaluating the design of these three handsets. I will share with you my personal thoughts about the aesthetics since most of the opinions on the design are subjective. Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra is definitely a very elegant and futuristic design, but it has bigger dimensions and a huge camera module, that is why it would not be my choice. Apple iPhone 11 Pro Max is more compact and it comes with more premium materials (stainless steel for the frame), that is why it is my favorite choice. Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro is very elegant as well, it looks even more futuristic than both its rivals, but it has an inferior build quality and it lacks a certification for water resistance.

Display

Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra wins the display comparison. It has a higher resolution (so a higher level of detail), a higher refresh rate and a better overall quality. And we are not the only ones saying this: the device has just been tested by DisplayMate which confirmed its amazing screen. Despite it lacks a high refresh rate, we give second place to the Super Retina XDR OLED display found on the iPhone 11 Pro Max. There is a silly and bigger notch, but it includes Face ID, so we can forgive it. Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro still comes with an astonishing display, especially for that price. You get just a Full HD+ resolution, but there is a 90 Hz refresh rate and a 180 Hz touch sampling rate, as well as HDR10+.

Hardware/Software

All of these devices feature top-tier hardware including the best Qualcomm’s and Apple’s chipsets, as well as an amazing software optimization. I had no chance to test the performances of the best Samsung device and Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro since they are still not available globally, but overall, you should not get big differences given that they all feature an amazing hardware department. Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra and Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro run Android 10 out of the box, while iPhone 11 Pro Max runs iOS. Note that S20 and Mi 10 support 5G connectivity, while iPhone 11 Pro Max does not.

Camera

Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra wins the camera comparison as well, at least on the paper. It features up to 100x digital zoom (10x hybrid optical zoom) thanks to a 48 MP periscope lens, and it even comes with a huge 108 MP main sensor and an ultrawide lens. Even its front camera is top-notch with its 40 MP resolution. Even Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max are top-end camera phones, with the latter providing an astonishing quality when it comes to video recording. But unlike Samsung Galaxy S20 and Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro, the iPhone 11 Pro Max does not support 8K video recording.

Battery

Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra has a huge 5000 mAh battery and it will likely last a lot more on a single charge. Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro should come right after with a 4500 mAh battery supporting the fastest charging technology (50W wired and 30W wireless). But you still get a great battery life with the iPhone 11 Pro Max, despite it has a battery capacity below 4000 mAh. In each case, you get wireless charging.

Price

Prices are the weakest points of these flagships. Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra has a starting price of €1349/$1399, Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro starts from €660/$712 (actually we only know its Chinese price, it will cost more globally) and iPhone 11 Pro Max is priced €1189/$1099 for its base variant with 64 GB of internal storage. Overall the most interesting and awesome device on the paper is the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra. It offers an amazing camera department, a bigger battery, and a better display experience.

Glal insights and data management firm Kantar recently published its smartphone overall sale data for Q4 2019. The survey shows iOS accounts for 24.3% of smartphone sales in five major European nations including Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and the UK, alongside the USA, Urban China, Australia, and Japan.

According to Dominic Sunnebo, Kantar’s Global Director, “Apple iPhone 11 accounts for 10% of all iOS smartphones sold across the US and Europe combined in the last quarter of CY20. This is a phenomenal achievement for Apple since it accounts for twice the number of iPhone XRs sold during the same period. The iPhone 11 series accounts for 50% of all iPhones sold throughout Europe and America, which is a major rise from 36% recorded by the iPhone X lineup in the previous quarter”.

Samsung, on the other hand, was not so lucky. While the Galaxy A-Series managed to hold its own in the US market, the flagship Galaxy S lineup failed to leave an impression. In fact, the mid-range A-series cannibalized sales of the S-series to a certain extent, as the former offer better value for money.

Chinese electronics giant Huawei continues to lose shares in the European market, as combined Huawei/Honor shares dropped by 4.4%, bringing the total sales figure to a measly 16.4% in Q4 2020. Compatriot Xiaomi had better luck as its market share grew by 7.2% to a total of 14.2%, placing it right on the heels of Apple and Samsung in terms of market share. While Xiaomi is yet to make a considerable dent in the UK, the situation could change for the better within the next few months.

In urban China, a combined Huawei/Honor force commands 44.2% market share in Q4 2019, an increase of 5.4% since the previous year. During the same period, rivals Xiaomi, Vivo, and Oppo witness a slight drop in sales. Despite the higher price tag, Apple saw an increase in demand in Urban China with the iPhone 11 selling like hot cake in the region. In fact, the Apple iPhone 11 Pro and the iPhone 11 Pro Max ranked at #3 and #4 respectively on the list of the most sold devices.

DXOMark added the review of selfie cameras to its itinerary in January last year. Since then, we have seen several phons’ selfie shooters get reviewed. The iPhone 11 Pro Max is the latest smartphone selfie that DXOMark would be reviewing. The smartphone had a score of 91 to rank among the Top 10 phones in DxOMark’s selfie cam charts.

The model edged out the Huawei P30 Pro which scored 89 points on the selfie camera charts. However, it is just a little below the Galaxy Note 9 which is ranked 9th. The score is 9 points higher than last year’s iPhone XS Max score put at 82 points.

According to DXO Mark, the front camera on the iPhone 11 Pro Max offers a nice improvement in image quality over the XS Max. The addition of a wider lens on the new device is a big plus, helping you fit more into the frame and get better compositions in a range of situations. There are other strengths, too, including a higher score for focus, with both faces and backgrounds boasting good detail at a range of distances, and effective bokeh shots when you want to blur the background. Selfies pack plenty of punch outdoors, too, with accurate exposure on faces, and fairly wide dynamic range ensuring well-controlled highlights and skin tones even in very bright conditions. Also, the new SL 3D camera performs well when it comes to rendering bokeh in portrait shots.

The camera is shown to have lagged in the aspects of noise and low-light performance. The phone lost most points in the aspect of low light tests.

2020 just started and we just realized we never compared the most important flagship from the most important non-Chinese companies in the smartphones world: Google, Samsung, and Apple. All of them made a lot of steps forward with their devices in 2019, that is why we think it is worth making a comparison between their most expensive handsets. We are talking about Google Pixel 4 XL, Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ and Apple iPhone 11 Pro Max. Very different devices, but all offering something unique at expensive prices. Which one should you spend on? Let’s discover it together.

Google Pixel 4 XL vs Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ vs iPhone 11 Pro Max

Design

On the design point of view, Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ takes the gold medal. It comes with a punch-hole display, a very minimal glass back and the highest screen-to-body ratio. Not everyone may like the big camera module on the iPhone 11 Pro Max and its big notch, but it has a better build quality with a frame made of stainless steel and a glass back which Apple defines as the “most resistant ever mounted on a smartphone”. On the other hand, Google Pixel 4 XL offers a more compact design, but it has thicker bezels and it is less attractive.

Display

In each case, you get an incredible display. Three displays considered the best ones ever seen on a smartphone by DisplayMate. All of them received the Best Display Award and all of them feature an amazing color reproduction. My favorite one is the Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ as it comes with a wider diagonal, HDR10+ certification and the support to S Pen. I would give the silver medal to the iPhone 11 Pro Max, but the Google Pixel 4 XL is the only with a 90 Hz refresh rate.

Hardware/Software

iPhone 11 Pro Max is the fastest and the most stable device especially thanks to the optimization of the iOS operating system. But performance is not the most important thing when it comes to these devices as all of them are very fast flagship. You should rather consider that iPhone 11 Pro Max has iOS, Google Pixel 4 XL has the most updated Android version (close to stock) with the most advanced Android 10 features available, and Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ has a highly customized Android version but still based on Android 9 Pie.

Camera

Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ and iPhone 11 Pro Max are among the best camera phones ever and they provide very similar camera performance. The astrophotos feature on the Google Pixel 4 XL looks very interesting, but the lack of an ultrawide lens and the inferior image quality do not let it compete with Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ and iPhone 11 Pro Max.

Battery

Apple improved the battery life of its latest iPhones a lot, especially the iPhone 11 Pro Max which finally comes with a battery close to 4000 mAh. But Samsung was able to do slightly better with its Galaxy Note 10+. It has bigger dimensions, but it also comes with a bigger 4300 mAh battery allowing it to last more on a single charge. Further, unlike its rivals, it features reverse wireless charging so that you can use it as a power bank. And it even has a faster charging (and wireless charging) technology. Google Pixel 4 XL’s battery life is nothing so exciting.

Price

Google Pixel 4 XL is a bit disappointing, especially if we consider that it costs $899/€899. For €1129/$1099 Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ offers a lot more and it is the winner of this comparison. But if you prefer iOS, iPhone 11 Pro Max is still one of the best phones you can get, despite it starts from €1189/$1099.

The post Four Top UMIDIGI Deals you should grab during the Aliexpress 11.11 Global Shopping Festival appeared first on Gizmochina.

We already know that the next model from UMIDIGI will be Power 3 featuring a big battery and a quad-camera setup, and today the company revealed the price and the global sale start date. So, Power 3 will go on global sale on November 11th and its promotional price will be only $149.99 for just 1 day, until November 12th! The Power 3 is a big upgrade to its predecessor and the debut during the Aliexpress 11.11 Global Shopping Festival is a buyer’s delight.

Besides the big battery, the key feature of the device is the multi-function quad camera. The recently launched Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 also sports a similar camera setup but which is better overall? Let’s check out the specs and price comparison.

Display

1 of 2

Doing away with the notch is the challenge for most smartphone manufacturers and rumors say that next year’s flagships Redmi K30 and OnePlus 8 would feature the hole-punch display. UMIDIGI Power 3 has that already placed on the top-left of the 6.53″ FHD+ display, while the Redmi Note 8 comes with a 6.3″ panel with a waterdrop notch.

Camera

The main camera is the sector where there are not that many differences. The Power 3 has a better 13MP ultra-wide camera while the Redmi Note 8’s one is 8MP. As for the front camera, the Power 3 boasts a 16MP sensor while the Note 8 has a 13MP one.

Battery and Charging

Here’s where the Power 3 really stands out as it hosts a big, 6150mAh battery with 18W fast charging support while the Note 8 comes with a smaller, 4000mAh battery and just 10W fast charging. What’s more, the new UMIDIGI phone supports 10W fast OTG reverse charging while its opponent supports just 2.5W OTG reverse charging.

Performance

The two companies use different SoC providers but their performance is similar. Power 3 is powered by MediaTek’s Helio P60 and the Redmi Note 8 comes with Snapdragon 665. Both score about 140k in Antutu v7. Also, the Power 3 features NFC with Google Pay and Note 8 doesn’t.

Operating System

Until now, there are only a few devices that come with or have been upgraded to Android 10, the latest version of Google’s OS. Power 3 is one of them as it comes with Android 10 out-of-the-box. It comes with the stock version of Android while the Redmi Note 8 features MIUI 10 based on Android 9.0.

Price

As said before, the UMIDIGI Power 3 will hit the market at just $149.99 and the price will go up to $169.99. Still, that’s almost $20 less than the Note 8 that costs about $190 for the same 4GB/64GB memory configuration. It’s easy to say that the Power 3 is a better VFM that its competitor. You can add it to your cart now so that you don’t miss the deal when it hits the market. Also, you can participate in the Giveaway activity to win one for free.

The post UMIDIGI Power 3 starts its global sale, aims at Redmi Note 8 appeared first on Gizmochina.

On Monday, we talked about the UMIDIGI Power 3 that would be launching soon and today, the company announced the global launch of the new Power Series member. With the Power 3, UMIDIGI is offering a 6,150mAh battery, which is the biggest yet for the company. In addition, the Power 3 also features a quad-camera setup with a 48MP main sensor, a hole-punch display on the front, and Helio P60 SoC. The phone will start global sale on November 11th on Aliexpress.

Biggest Battery Yet

The Power Series is known for the big battery found inside the phones and Power 3 is no different. It packs the biggest battery to date with a 6150mAh battery and USB Type-C 18W fast charger.

What’s more, it features 10W fast OTG reverse charging that can charge other devices while other phones only support about 2.5W OTG reverse charging. You don’t even have to buy an OTG cable as is comes as a gift.

Multi-function Quad Cameras

Another new feature in Power 3 is the quad rear camera setup that consists of a 48MP main camera, a 13MP ultra-wide-angle camera, a 5MP macro camera, and a 5MP depth-sensing camera. In addition, there is a new Night Mode to help you capture better photos in low light conditions while the ultra-wide mode snaps more in a single shot and the macro mode captures close-ups.

Bigger Notchless Display

Since the notch is starting to become outdated, the Chinese manufacturer adopts a 6.53″ FHD+ display with a hole-punch that hosts the front 16MP camera. The hole is just 4.5mm wide in order not to distract the user while using the phone. The result is an immersive viewing experience when combined with the thin bezels.

Powerful Performance

To power the Power 3, UMIDIGI chose to go with the MediaTek Helio P60 SoC backed by 4GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 64GB of internal storage. The LPDDR4X dual-channel memory has 50% higher efficiency and 100% improved peak performance compared with the older LPDDR3. Also, thanks to the triple card slots design, the phone has a dedicated microSD card slot to store up to 256GB more.

Stock Android 10 and Other Features

Coming with Android 10, UMIDIGI Power 3 is one of the first smartphones that feature Google’s latest OS. The phone comes in three trendy colors for you to choose: Space Grey, Midnight Green, and Red. Additionally, Power 3 supports “OK Google” on lock screen so that you can activate the Google Assistant without even touching your phone. Lastly, it supports multi-function NFC and global network bands as well as dual-4G/LTE.

Price, Global Sale Date, and Giveaway

The global sale will start at 00:00 PST on November 11th over at Aliexpress. The price is yet to be known but the price tag is expected to be under $200 since the previous version’s cost was around $150. You can add the Power 3 to your cart now in case you miss the discounted open sale price when it becomes available in 2 weeks.

Lastly, in order to improve the user experience, UMIDIGI is running a Giveaway to recruit 10 trial users for the device. Check out all the details about the Power 3 and join the giveaway on their official website.

DxOMARK is known for its smartphone camera reviews and while there are folks who take their reviews with a pinch of salt, manufacturers (read Chinese manufacturers) still brag about the scores of their smartphones. A few months ago, DxOMARK began scoring the selfie cameras for smartphones too and just last month, it announced that it would add night camera and ultrawide-angle scores to its camera test protocol since both have become popular features present in phones.

Today, DxOMARK has introduced a new test protocol for smartphones called the DxOMARL Audio Test Protocol. This tests a phone’s audio recording and output quality and is only based on the playback performance of the phone’s internal speakers not when paired to headphones or external speakers.

The overall score is split into playback and recording just the way a phone’s camera score is split into photo and video. The test is carried out by audio engineers and experts in special labs and can take up to a week for a single device. DxOMARK says during testing, they recreate multiple usage scenarios such as a  busy street. They also compare phones together during testing to make sure that their test scores are impartial.

At the moment, DxOMARK has tested seven devices they are the iPhone 11 Pro Max, iPhone XS Max, Galaxy Note10+, Galaxy S10+, Huawei Mate 20 X and Sony Xperia 1. Based on their test results, the Mate 20 X is at the top of the list and this is partly due to its stereo microphones which gives it a high score for recording.

The iPhone XS Max comes in second with a score of 74 points (Playback: 75, Recording: 69), pushing its successor the iPhone 11 Pro Max to third place with a score of 71 ((Playback: 72, Recording: 68). The Galaxy Note10+ and Galaxy S10+ score 66 and 65 points respectively, while the Honor 20 Pro and Xperia 1 close the list with a score of 53 points and 45 points respectively. The Honor 20 Pro and Xperia 1 not only score lowest but are the only two phones with a wide margin between their playback and recording scores.

DxOMARK says they will keep reviewing more devices and will keep updating the list, so if your favorite device isn’t on the list, it may be added in the future.

Today, UMIDIGI officially announced the price of its latest budget flagship smartphone the UMIDIGI F2 and it is a truly unbelievable price: just $179.99 on a limited deal from October 14th to October 16th! The device is the successor to the successful UMIDIGI F1 and it will hit the market on October 14th, 7 AM GMT on Aliexpress. The company also released a first look video of the device.

The killer feature is the quad-camera setup of course. Since the Xiaomi’s sub-brand, Redmi, released the Note 8 Pro recently, it’s easy to tell that the F2 is the perfect competitor. Considering the overall quality and performance, which one has a higher value for money?

Display

Design is subjective and since both come with a 6.53″ FHD+ IPS panel, the F2 has an advantage since it drops the annoying notch and adopts a hole-punch front camera.

Camera

Until we see real-life reviews of the camera we can’t be totally sure about which is better. On paper, the UMIDIGI F2 is better since it comes with a 32MP flagship-category selfie shooter while the Note 8 Pro hosts a 20MP sensor. One the back, both have a multi-function quad camera setup. The Note 8 Pro sports a higher resolution main camera but the F2 has a better ultra-wide camera.

Performance & Battery

The Note 8 Pro comes with the more powerful Helio G90T SoC but the Helio P70 on the F2 is no slouch either. Also, both come with the same 6GB/128GB memory configuration but the F2 costs more than $100 less than its rival. Definitely, the CPU power difference doesn’t justify the huge price difference.

In terms of battery, the UMIDIGI F2 has a bigger battery (5150mAh) than Redmi Note 8 Pro (4500mAh) while both support 18W fast charging as well as NFC with Google Pay.

Design

Both phones come with a beautiful glass back cover but the F2 has a cleaner and more consistent design thanks to the side-mounted fingerprint sensor. The Note 8 Pro still comes with the old-fashioned back-placed fingerprint sensor.

Operating System

Only a handful of devices have adopted Android 10 which is Google’s latest OS. UMIDIGI F2 is one of them and comes with stock Android 10 while the Redmi Note 8 Pro features MIUI 10 based on Android 9.0.

Price

The promotional price of the UMIDIGI F2 at $179.99 is amazing during the global sale that starts on Monday. After the promotion, it will go up to its original price of just $199.99. On the other hand, the Note 8 Pro 6GB/128GB version costs $299.99, making the UMIDIGI F2 a better VFM device. UMIDIGI is also running a 10-unit giveaway which you can join here. Also, don’t forget to add the F2 to your cart so that you won’t miss the offer and you will receive a free pair of UPods as well.

Besides the flagship devices of the company that recently gained another member -UMIDIGI F2- with excellent specs and price tag, the Chinese manufacturer is also very famous about its entry-level Power series that comes with a massive battery and pretty affordable price. Currently, there is only one member in the Series but according to leaked information, the company is getting ready to add another.

Strangely, the new model isn’t going to be named Power 2 but they will skip a number going straight to UMIDIGI Power 3. As you can see in the photo, the 6000 mentioned should be the capacity of the battery and it’s going to sport a quad-camera setup on the back. The rest of the specs are still undisclosed so we’ll have to wait until UMIDIGI officially announces the device or another leak surfaces. Until that happens, you can visit their official website to check out their latest flagship UMIDIGI F2 and their new smartwatch and wireless headset.

The post UMIDIGI Power 3 could be close to release according to a leaked photo appeared first on Gizmochina.

It took a lot of time for smartphone manufacturers to realize that colorful devices appeal to consumers. Even Apple that is considered to be the most design-driven company out there, insisted on Black and Silver colors for a long time until this year that a wide color palette was added to iPhones. But even now, monochromatic pastel colors are used in most cases. The new UMIDIGI F2 thinks otherwise and features the company’s all-new “Holographic Design” which is industry-leading craftsmanship that is not easy to find in the budget segment.

The 3D shimmering effect is achieved by using a depth layer containing millions of shimmering, microscopic prisms with curved textures, and on top of that, a 2.5D curved glass layer. Combined together, make the light virtually dance across the back of the phone as you move it around. Two colors are chosen: Phantom Blue and Midnight Black. The adjectives “Phantom” and “Midnight” are ideal to describe the gradient effect that evokes the appearance of a dynamic pattern or a twinkling night sky.

The clever design isn’t just restricted to color. UMIDIGI’s design innovations are hardly restricted to color. As you can see in the photo above, instead of using a notch or a pop-up camera the company went with the third solution by cutting a 4.5mm punch-hole into the top-left of the display to house the 32MP selfie camera. That, along with the side-placed fingerprint sensor results in a comfortable skinny phone with a nearly bezeless 6.53’” FHD+ display.

One the back, the quad-camera that hosts the 48MP main sensor along with the ultra-wide and macro cameras is laid out in an L-shape instead of the traditional I-shape—leaving more room inside for a 5150mAh big battery with NFC. What’s more, the phone comes with high-end specs like the Helio P70 SoC backed by 6GB of RAM and 128GB of UFS 2.1 fast storage as well as Android 10.

The phone will go on global sale next Monday on Aliexpress with its price being undisclosed for now. We expect it to be below $250, though. Also, judging from the fact that the Chinese manufacturer is celebrating its 8th Annual Sale, the promotional price should be a surprise. So you’d better add the F2 to your cart now at the UMIDIGI Official Store on Aliexpress in case you miss the deal.

Lastly, as always, the company is running a big giveaway to recruit 10 trial users that will help improve the user experience. You can check out the full specs of F2 and join the giveaway on their official website.

Apple is rolling out iOS 13.1 already but there is a new feature it has added that may become annoying when you change your screen.

A support document posted by Apple says that iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max users will get a notification if they replace their screen with a genuine one.

Apparently, the system will try to verify that the replaced screen is a genuine replacement part and when it can’t, it will notify you on the lockscreen for 4 consecutive days. Afterward, it will move the message to the main settings menu for another 15 days after which it will move it to Settings > General > About.

The new feature only applies to the new iPhone 11 series. There is no mention of previous models getting it.

Apple advises that only certified technicians who have completed Apple’s service training and who use Apple genuine parts and tools should replace displays. Repairs should also be done by Apple, authorized service providers and certified technicians.

Below is a list of problems that Apple says can occur due to to the installation of a non-genuine screen:

Multi-Touch Issues

• Multi-Touch might not respond on parts of the screen
• Multi-Touch performance, such as missed screen touches or touches not registering in the right location
• Touches might unexpectedly register during a phone call
• Display might not turn off during phone calls
• Accidental edge or palm touches might register

Display Brightness and Color Issues

• True Tone display doesn’t function correctly
• Lost or degraded function of the ambient light sensor, causing the screen to dim or brighten incorrectly
• Incorrect display color calibration, such as the display to appearing too yellow or blue
• Display isn’t uniformly bright
• Lower maximum brightness
• Unintentional battery drain

This year has been amazing for the smartphone industry as many manufacturers released devices with incredible camera setups as well as truly bezeless displays. UMIDIGI was among these manufacturers and recently announced the UMIDIGI F2 flagship with quad-camera setup and a hole-punch display that hosts the selfie shooter.

The device officially announced on September 23rd is the first hole-punch display phone of UMIDIGI. It measures at 6.53″ and comes with a FHD+ resolution, with the hole-punch being placed on the top-left corner hosting the 32MP front camera. This sensor is the same found in Huawei’s new premium flagship Huawei Mate 30 Pro. This technique reduces bezels even further by utilizing accurate laser cutting technology to create the cut-out. What’s more, the hole doesn’t affect the cinematic experience while watching movies or playing games and puts more in view when you’re browsing the internet or checking social media, thanks to the accurate pixel allocation surrounding the cut-out. Also, the 32MP sensor supports pixel-binning to provide brighter, clearer selfies. Paired with AI beautify, it can enhance your facial features for stunningly gorgeous results.

Other specifications include a rear camera with a 48MP main sensor, an ultra-wide camera, a macro camera, and a depth camera. There is also a 5150mAh battery, 6GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 128GB of UFS 2.1 internal storage that complement the Helio P70 SoC while you’ll also get NFC and the latest stock Android 10.

The UMIDIGI F2 will start global sale October 14th on Aliexpress. The price is yet to be revealed but we expect it to be less than $250. Surely, a presale promotion will be available when it officially launches so you’d better add the F2 to your cart now at the UMIDIGI Official Store on Aliexpress in case you miss the deal.

Lastly, in order to improve the user experience, UMIDIGI is running a big giveaway to recruit 10 trial users for the UMIDIGI F2. You can check out the full specs of F2 and join the giveaway on their official website.

The post UMIDIGI F2 is currently the best budget phone with quad-camera and hole-punch selfie shooter appeared first on Gizmochina.

Leaked information about the new budget flagship from UMIDIGI were circulating on tech media for some time now and today, the UMIDIGI F2 the device was officially announced by the Chinese manufacturer. The successor of the company’s hot-selling UMIDIGI F1 carries a professional-grade 48MP quad rear camera, the same 32MP selfie camera as Huawei’s new premium flagship HUAWEI Mate 30 Pro, a big, 5150mAh battery, and the latest stock Android 10.

Pro-Grade Cameras

A huge improvement over the previous-gen flagship is the cameras. The F2 sports a quad rear camera setup consisting of a 48MP main camera, a 13MP ultra-wide camera, a 5MP macro camera, and a 5MP depth camera. Also, a new night mode is available to capture better images in low light conditions while the ultra-wide mode helps you snap more content in a photo. Lastly, the macro mode is used when shooting something at a very close distance.

As for the selfie shooter, it sports a 32MP sensor -Samsung GD1- the same found in the Huawei Mate 30 Pro. It utilizes pixel binning for brighter and clearer selfies and users can also use AI beautify to enhance their facial features.

Big display without a notch

The next step for the industry is moving from a notch display to a notchless and bezel-less design. The UMIDIGI F2 accomplishes that task by using a hole punch display. The 6.53″ FH+ display comes with a hole in the top left corner that hosts the 32MP front camera. The hole is just 4.5mm wide and it doesn’t distract the user at all.

The best performing UMIDIGI device to date

UMIDIGI makes some very interesting devices and this one is the most powerful they’ve ever made as it sports the Helio P70 SoC backed by 6GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 128GB of fast UFS 2.1 internal storage. The faster UFS 2.1 flash storage was, until recently, only available in the premium flagship smartphones and now UMIDIGI brings it to the budget segment. In addition, the F2 comes with a big, 5150mAh battery with 18W fast charge support.

Eye-catching Design

Nowadays, most phones look almost the same as there are little things you can do to differentiate your products from the competition. UMIDIGI manages to do that with the impressive Phantom Blue and Midnight Black colors and a curved texture on the back cover when the light hits on it. Also, they’ve side-mounted the fingerprint sensor so the back cover looks clean and more consistent. Also, it sports a triple card slot so that you can use 2 SIM cards and Micro-SD card (up to 256GB) at the same time.

Stock Android 10 and more features

Only a handful of devices can brag that they come with the latest Android 10 OS and UMIDIGI F2 is one of them. In addition, it is the first Android 10 smartphone that features a 48MP quad rear camera. Additionally, the F2 is the first UMIDIGI that supports “OK Google” even when the screen is locked so you can activate the Google Assistant anytime. Of course, it supports multi-functional NFC and global network bands as well as dual-4G/LTE.

Pricing, Global Sale date, and Giveaway

The UMIDIGI F2 global sale will start on October 14th on Aliexpress. The company hasn’t revealed the price yet but we expect it to be less than $300 since the F1 sells for around $200. Of course, a launch promotion will be available bringing the price even lower during the presale period. You can add the F2 to cart now at the UMIDIGI Official Store on Aliexpress in case you miss the discounted open sale price on October 14th.

Samsung, Huawei, and Apple are currently the world’s most important smartphones manufacturers. Every time one of them releases a new top-tier, we compare it with the most powerful flagships of the two other rival companies. And this is exactly one of those comparisons. Right after the announcement of the Huawei Mate 30 Pro, here is a specs comparison between the new Huawei’s flagship, the recently-announced iPhone 11 Pro Max which is going to hit a lot of markets around the world, and the Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ announced last month which has been on sale for several days until now.

Huawei Mate 30 Pro vs Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ vs Apple iPhone 11 Pro Max

Design

It is true, Huawei Mate 30 Pro still comes with a big notch, unlike its predecessor P30 Pro. But its design remains the most astonishing one thanks to the “Horizon” display: a front panel with extremely curved sides, without side bezels and even without physical keys. There is a side touch technology which replaces the volume balancer and, despite the sides create 88 degrees curves, you do not have to worry for your touch screen even if you touch the display with your palm. While the Huawei Mate 30 Pro has the most stunning design, iPhone 11 Pro Max comes with the best build quality. Its frame is made of stainless steel and the phone is waterproof up to 4 meters deep. Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ is definitely too big for an average user, it is a productivity phone, but it supports S Pen and that makes it the best device for productivity users.

Display

Each of these devices comes with a stunning display, but given the presence of the S Pen, an amazing color reproduction and a wider diagonal, I prefer the Samsung Galaxy Note 10+. However, iPhone 11 Pro Max offers a better 120 Hz refresh ratio and it may even boast better colors. We will give you a definitive verdict about the display quality after testing it. Despite the “Horizon” sides, we do not think Huawei Mate 30 Pro can compete with its rivals in terms of image quality.

Hardware/Software

If you are reading this paragraph because you want to know about the performances of these three flagships, first note that all of them might feature a different operating system with a different level of software optimization in the global market. Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ comes with Android, iPhone 11 Pro Max has iOS, and Huawei Mate 30 Pro may hit the European market with the new HarmonyOS and without Google apps. This said we believe iPhone 11 Pro Max will be the fastest and smoothest one thanks to its Apple A13 Bionic chipset and the wonderful software optimization of iOS 13.

Camera

With a double 40 MP sensor, the support to 7680 fps super slow motion videos, ISO up to 512,000, dual OS, 3x optical zoom, and much more, Huawei Mate 30 Pro features the best camera hardware out there. We are yet to discover how the algorithm will manage all the sensors and the hardware from its quad-camera, but on the paper, it wins the comparison.

Battery

Given that these handsets come with similar battery capacities and very different components, it is still too early to give you an opinion about their battery life. Two of them are still not in commerce, so we can not test them thoroughly. For now, just keep in mind that Huawei Mate 30 Pro has a bigger battery, a more efficient display than Galaxy Note 10+ and, unlike the iPhone 11 Pro Max, it features reverse wireless charging. Last but not least, it supports the fastest wireless charging technology with a 27W power.

Price

The Huawei Mate 30 Pro will start from €1,100/$1215, and that is the same for the Samsung Galaxy Note 10+. The iPhone 11 Pro Max is costlier as it starts from €1250/$1380. Note that Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ have 5G variants, while iPhone 11 Pro Max does not. If you are a productivity user, the S Pen is an important added value and given that there are no important differences in terms of performances, you should go for the Samsung Galaxy Note 10+. But if you do not care about it, iPhone 11 Pro Max is a more interesting choice with an amazing display and build quality. Huawei Mate 30 Pro is more or less at the same level: it is another amazing device, but it has a worse display. However, its rear camera hardware is superior.

Today, UMIDIGI announced that its next flagship, the successor of F1, the UMIDIGI F2, will be officially revealed globally on September 23rd. As we’ve seen in previous news, the device will be the first Android 10 phone of the Chinese manufacturer and will come with a hole-punch display as well as a 48MP AI quad-camera. Now, new leaked render confirms these specs and reveals more information.

For starters, the render shows that it will come in 2 colors: Gradient Blue and Black. Also, following the industry trends, the back cover will have a curved texture when the light hits on it. As you can see, the photo indicates that the selfie shooter will host a 32MP sensor which is assumed to be the same flagship sensor found in Huawei P30 Pro and Honor 20 Pro, Samsung GD1. What’s also revealed is that the F2 will feature a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, leaving the back cover clean and more consistent-looking.

In addition, it is confirmed that the main camera will be a vertically-aligned quad setup with a 48MP main sensor plus ultra-wide, macro, and depth cameras. It seems unbelievable that such a camera setup shows up in budget flagship already but you better believe it.

The rest of the specs are yet to be known but we expect information on UMIDIGI’s Aliexpress store to be proven true. So, there will be a big, 5150mAh battery, three slots to host 2 SIM cards and a microSD card at the same time, as well as 6GB/128GB memory configuration. We’re waiting for the official announcement next week to find out the full details.

The latest iPhone 11 models are already available for pre-order in China and maybe launch soon for the second-largest smartphone market. Thus, it is just apt that AnTuTu shares some information about the performance and memory configurations of the new Apple models as seen on its database.

The screenshots shared on AnTuTu’s Weibo page lists the models as iPhone 12, 1, iPhone 12, 3 and iPhone 12, 5, which are the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max. The AnTuTu scores of the trio don’t have any significant difference. This is due to the fact that all three utilises Apple A13 Bionic processor. However, the clock speed may differ as the iPhone 11 Pro Max has the highest score of 462098 points. The iPhone 11 score is 456,655 point is slightly higher than the 455,452 points which the iPhone 11 Pro raked in.

The most interesting part is that all three iPhone 11 models are listed with 4GB of RAM. That means talks of a 6GB  RAM variant are just rumours. To further buttress this point, the iPhone 1 Pro Max with 512GB storage is also sited to have 4GB of RAM. The iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro both listed with 256GB storage equally have 4GB of RAM. For an iPhone, 4GB of RAM is more than adequate.

The iPhone 11 series was announced on Tuesday in Cupertino. However, as Apple is known to do, it didn’t reveal technical specifications like the RAM and battery capacities of the new devices. For those who are curious, those details have now been revealed.

The source of the info is Steve Hemmerstoffer a.k.a. OnLeaks and in his tweet, he reveals the iPhone 11 has 4GB of RAM, 1GB more than the iPhone XR. It also gets a slightly bigger battery capacity than its predecessor – 3110mAh compared to 2942mAh.

The iPhone 11 Pro comes with even more RAM at 6GB when compared to the iPhone Xs which has 4GB of RAM. Its battery also gets a boost to 3190mAh from its predecessor’s 2658mAh.

For those who care about these details #Apple never share officially, seems like:

– #iPhone11 = 4GB RAM + 3110mAh battery (Xr = 3GB + 2942mAh)
– #iPhone11Pro = 6GB RAM + 3190mAh battery (Xs = 4GB RAM + 2658mAh)
– #iPhone11ProMax = 6GB RAM + 3500mAh (Xs Max = 4GB RAM + 3174mAh)

— Steve H.McFly (@OnLeaks) September 12, 2019

The iPhone 11 Pro Max also gets 6GB of RAM and a 3500mAh battery, more than a 300mAh increase when compared to the iPhone Xs Max.

Apple revealed at the launch that the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max all offer 1 hour, 4 hours, and 5 hours improvement in battery life respectively when compared to their predecessors.

The iPhone 11 series not only get bigger batteries and more RAM, but they each also feature an extra camera compared to their predecessors. There is also a new Apple A13 Bionic processor inside all three of them.

The iPhone 11 starts at $699, the Pro starts at $999, and the Pro Max starts at $1099. Orders begin shipping on September 20.

Yesterday, Apple announced its new iPhone lineup that now features a triple camera setup for the Pro models. During the announcement, Apple officials focused mainly on the new and interesting features that come with the triple camera setup of the iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max. But it seems that Chinese manufacturers like UMIDIGI prefer to take it to the next level by adopting quad-camera setups. The upcoming flagship, UMIDIGI F2, will feature such a camera setup with a dedicated macro lens according to the latest leak.

The information that surfaced refers to a fourth camera in addition to the traditional triple setup. The additional camera on the F2 has a 5MP macro lens and sits just below the LED flash and is able to take close-up shots from just 2 centimeters away. This is very useful especially for nature fans that can use it to shoot detailed photos of small insects or the pollen inside a flower for example. But tech fans can also use it to take close up photos of small ports and buttons on devices.

As the image leaked reveals, the main camera hosts a 48MP sensor of 1/2″ in size, f/1.79 aperture, and 1.6μm (4in1) pixel size. The top 5MP camera acts as a depth camera for better bokeh effect on portraits while the bottom unit is a 13MP ultra-wide-angle camera with 120 degrees FoV.

Previous information had revealed that the new flagship will ship with Android 10 out-of-the-box and a punch-hole selfie shooter of probably 32MP. It’s also safe to say that it will come with a big battery, a powerful SoC, and plenty of RAM for smooth multitasking. Currently, there are no launch date or price available and it’s rumored that the F2 will be launched at the end of September.

In the meantime, UMIDIGI’s new smart device UMIDIGI Uwake, the world’s first colorful Bluetooth 5.0 speaker with smart alarm clock, just kicked off its sale on Aliexpress at the limited offer of $19.99. You can learn more about it and place your order here.

Apple announced the shiny new iPhone 11 series yesterday. The new models are all set to hit the markets starting September 20, including in China. iPhones have traditionally been very popular among the Chinese in the premium segment, but things have changed in the past couple of years. Q1 2019 smartphone shipment report from China reveals that Apple’s shipments declined by a solid 30% YoY. Even in Q2 2019, the company’s shipments declined by 6% YoY.

Will the new iPhones change this trend?

While we can’t be sure whether the new iPhone 11 series will change Apple’s performance in China, what we do know is that the Cupertino giant is entering the market with a big disadvantage right from the start. At the iPhone 11 unveiling event yesterday, Apple failed to mention anything related to 5G. And considering how China has bet big on the new 5G technology, it’ll be a big drawback for the new devices.

China’s three major carriers are expected to roll out 5G in major cities by the end of 2019. There are already a handful of 5G Android phones available in the market, giving users the opportunity to connect to this high-speed network technology. But without 5G support, the new iPhones could find it hard to take on the likes of the upcoming Mate 30 Pro 5G or the Xiaomi Mi 9 Pro 5G, despite its cheaper starting price.

But Its Not Just About 5G

The ongoing trade war is yet another big issue for Apple in China. All thanks to the trade ban on Huawei, the nationalist sentiment is on the rise in China. This means a lot of people would prefer buying smartphones from companies like Huawei and OPPO instead of non-Chinese ones like an iPhone.

Also, in terms of features and experience, Android phones have come close to and even sometimes surpassed the iPhones. For example, there was a time when iPhones had no competition in the camera department. But with the recent advancements from companies like Huawei and Samsung, we have some really powerful camera flagships in the Android ecosystem.

In fact, Chinese Android phones now offer better and more advanced features than iPhones. For example, Xiaomi recently unveiled the world’s fastest wireless charging technology with 30W fast charging. Huawei’s RYYB sensor on the P30 Pro has taken its camera prowess to new heights. Then there’s Vivo experimenting with the display on its phone to make them nearly bezel-less. All the new advancements are available to Chinese customers first, at a price that’s less than the top-end iPhones.

Also, Huawei’s efforts to capture nearly 50% of the Chinese market would also adversely affect Apple’s performance in the region. The Chinese telecommunications giant has doubled its efforts to expand in the Chinese market after facing an uncertain future from the US ban. Even its new Mate 30 Pro flagship is expected to first go on sale in China. The international release could likely be delayed.

Will the Cheaper iPhone 11 Pricing Help?

Apple made a smart move by keeping the pricing of the iPhone 11 cheaper than its predecessor. But it still isn’t affordable in the Chinese market.

For example, when the P30 Pro was officially announced in China back in April, its 8GB+128GB started at 5488 Yuan in China. The base variant of the new iPhone 11 (dual-cameras) with 64GB storage starts at 5499 Yuan.

See the issue here? When the Mate 30 Pro will be officially announced in China later this month, it will be priced very close to this figure. And the phone will come with 5G support, a large battery, super-fast charging, one of the best cameras in the world, as well as a powerful AI chipset. Plus, its a Chinese smartphone, which means you support your home country when you purchase the device.

Considering these factors, Apple may not have an easy time selling its iPhones in China, at least not in the figures like it used to a few years back.

What Will Be Apple’s Counter Attack?

Daniel Ives, an analyst at WedBush states that about a third of the 900 million iPhone users across the globe are due for an upgrade in the next 12 to 18 months. Also, around 60 to 70 million Chinese consumers are due for an upgrade which could help push iPhone 11 series sales in the coming months.

Also, even if Apple doesn’t do as well as in China as it did back in its glory days, the company is still likely to profit internationally due to the ongoing trade war. With Huawei banned from using Google services on its phones, its international sales could take a hit. This opens up an opportunity for Apple to capture Huawei’s market share in the premium segment.

Also, a cheaper iPhone is reportedly in the works and is said to release next year. That could come as a respite for iOS users who are looking to upgrade to a new iPhone model but don’t want to spend a fortune buying one.

The iPhone 11 series are scheduled to be unveiled on September 10 in Cupertino. Just like last year, the American company will announce three models. Specs of the three Apple phones have now leaked.

The three models are the iPhone 11 which succeeds the iPhone XR, and the iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max which are successors to the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max respectively.

iPhone 11

The iPhone 11 will come with an LCD display just like the iPhone XR. The screen size remains 6.1-inches and the resolution is also unchanged at 1792 x 828 with a 326 PPI. The phone will have FaceID but not 3D Touch.

The iPhone 11 will be powered by the new Apple A13 chipset which will be paired with 4GB of RAM. With respect to cameras, the iPhone 11 will come with a 12MP front-facing camera and dual rear cameras whose configurations are not mentioned.

It will also have support for reverse-wireless charging and Wi-Fi 6.

iPhone 11 Pro

The iPhone 11 Pro will have a smaller 5.8-inch display but an OLED type with a 2346 x 1125 resolution and a 458 PPI. It also won’t have 3D Touch but will come with Face ID.

There is an Apple A13 chipset under its hood and it will be paired with 6GB of RAM. It will also have a 12MP selfie camera but triple rear cameras. Just like the iPhone 11, it will support reverse-wireless charging and Wi-Fi 6.

iPhone 11 Pro Max

The successor to the iPhone XS Max will keep the 6.5-inch 2688 x 1242 OLED display of its predecessor. It also will not have 3D Touch but will have Face ID.

Just like the other two, the Apple A13 is the SoC powering it and it too will have 6GB of RAM. The selfie camera is a 12MP sensor and there are three sensors on the back. It will also have reverse-wireless charging and Wi-Fi 6.

We have officially entered what is unofficially called the phone season. For the next few months, there will be lots of announcements of new smartphones. A number of manufacturers will be attending IFA 2019 where they will unveil new devices and just a day before the trade show ends on September 11, Apple will be holding its own event in Cupertino.

The tech giant has sent out invites for a special event which will hold at the Steve Jobs Theater in Cupertino on Tuesday, September 10 at 10:00 a.m. local time.

Even without saying, we already know this event is for the launch of the new iPhones. The new iPhones include the iPhone 11, the iPhone 11 Pro, and the iPhone 11 Pro Max according to a leak. All three are successors to last year’s iPhone XR, iPhone XS, and iPhone XS Max.

The iPhone 11 will have dual cameras and a 5.8” screen while the iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max will both come with triple rear cameras and a 6.1” and 6.5” screen respectively. All three will feature a new square camera design similar to that of the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL and be powered by the new A13 processor.

It has also been reported that the Pro models will have reverse wireless charging so you can charge your AirPods. There is no report of a 5G model this year; that won’t come until next year according to reports.
