Motorola Moto G64 5G was released as a budget 5G smartphone in April. It’s boasts a MediaTek Dimensity 7025 chip and packs a substantial 6,000 mAh battery. The base variant with 8GB RAM is currently available for Rs. 15,384, while the 12GB RAM version costs Rs. 16,499.

The Moto G64 5G is a decent 5G smartphone. However, there are alternatives from other brands that offer more value for a similar price. So, if you’re looking to buy the Moto G64 5G, don’t forget to check out these alternatives to make an informed decision.

Let’s quickly go through the Moto G64 5G spec sheet first:

1. Poco F4 5G

The Poco F4 5G is probably the best alternative to Moto G64 5G.

It’s powered by the Snapdragon 870 chipset, offering enhanced performance and superior gaming performance, compared to the Dimensity 7025 chip inside the Moto G64.

The Poco phone has a bigger display, and that, too, is an AMOLED panel rather than an LCD panel as on the Moto G64. Moreover, the Poco F4 is protected using Corning Gorilla Glass 5, but the Moto phone lacks such protection.

Both smartphones support a 120Hz refresh rate. However, the Poco F4 also has HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and a peak brightness of 1300 nits. Clearly, the Poco phone has a better display than the Moto G64.

The Moto G64 5G features a dual camera setup on the back. It includes a 50MP primary camera with OIS and an 8MP ultrawide camera with a 118-degree field of view. There’s also a 16MP sensor for selfies and video calls. 

The Poco F4, on the other hand, features a triple camera setup that comprises a 64MP primary sensor with OIS, an 8MP ultrawide camera with 119-degree field of view, and a 2MP macro camera. It has a 20MP shooter on the front.

The Poco F4 has better camera specs and can record up to 4K videos, whereas the Moto G64 is limited to 1080p.

One area where the Moto G64 really stands out is its massive 6,000 mAh battery, compared to 4,500 mAh on the Poco F4. However, the Poco phone supports much faster charging, at 67W (vs. 30W on the Moto G64). 

2. CMF Phone 1

The CMF Phone 1, another solid 5G phone, stands out with its unique user-replaceable back cover feature, sparking curiosity and interest among potential buyers.

The CMF Phone 1 has a larger screen, that too an AMOLED screen (vs. an LCD screen on the Moto G64) with a peak brightness of 2000 nits. It is powered by a more powerful Dimensity 7300 (4nm) chipset.

The CMF Phone 1 also has a 50MP primary camera, but there’s no OIS, and the secondary 2MP sensor works as a depth shooter. Both smartphones have a 16MP selfie camera.

Due to the lack of optical image stabilization (OIS), the CMF Phone 1 won’t record stable videos as good as the Moto G64. However, the former supports 4K video recording, while the latter doesn’t.

Notably, the CMF Phone 1 supports Wi-Fi 6 but lacks NFC. But the Moto G64 supports NFC but lacks Wi-Fi 6 support.

The CMF Phone 1 has a lower battery capacity but supports a higher fast charging. Both smartphones also support reverse wired charging.

3. OnePlus Nord CE 3 5G

The OnePlus Nord CE 3 5G (review) is better than the Moto G64 5G in many ways. First, it has an AMOLED panel with HDR10+ and support for 1 billion colours.

The OnePlus phone is powered by a Snapdragon 782G. It’s a high-performance chip with over 30% more AnTuTu score than the MediaTek Dimensity 7025.

The OnePlus Nord CE 3 will get two OS updates, while the Moto G64 will only get one. Since the Nord CE 3 was launched with Android 13, both will receive Android 15 as their final OS update.

Both smartphones have a 50MP primary camera with OIS and an 8MP ultrawide lens on the back. However, the Nord CE 3 also has a 2MP macro camera. Unlike the Moto phone, the OnePlus Nord CE 3 is capable of shooting 4K videos. For selfies, both devices have a 16MP punch-hole-style selfie shooter.

Like the other phones on the list, the OnePlus Nord CE 3 has a lower battery capacity than the Moto G64. However, the phone supports 80W fast charging, while the Moto G64 only supports 30W charging.

Except for the battery capacity, the OnePlus Nord CE 3 is better than the Moto G64 in almost every aspect.

4. Galaxy A34 5G

The Galaxy A34 5G has a larger Super AMOLED screen protected using Corning Gorilla Glass 5. It’s powered by a Dimensity 1080 chipset, which performs better than the Dimensity 7025-powered Moto G64.

While the Moto G64 ships with Android 14, the Galaxy A34 comes with Android 13 out of the box. However, you’ll receive an Android 14 update as soon you as set up the device. Notably, the Galaxy A34 will receive four years of Android updates until Android 17.

The Galaxy A34 5G also can’t match the gigantic 6,000mAh battery of the Moto G64. It has got a 5,000mAh battery with 25W fast charging support.

The smartphone features a triple camera setup that includes a 48MP primary camera with OIS, an 8MP ultrawide camera, and a 5MP macro camera. On the front, it has a 13MP selfie shooter. The device can record up to 4K videos with its rear, as well as, front camera.

The post POCO F4 5G to be available for Rs 21,999 (~$276) in India during upcoming Flipkart BBD 2022 sale appeared first on Gizmochina.

The Nothing Phone (1) was launched in early July, and it is placed in a segment that’s very competitive. There are a bunch of good phones available at its price point from the likes of OnePlus, POCO, and even Motorola, making the choice harder for consumers. That’s the reason we have been covering a lot of Nothing Phone 1 comparisons over the past few weeks. 

In this comparison, let’s take a look at how the Nothing Phone 1 compares against the POCO F4 5G. Both are value-for-money devices, but are targeted at a different set of users. Read on to find out which one excels in each department. 

Nothing Phone (1) vs POCO F4 5G

Design

The POCO F4 5G might not feel as fancy as the Nothing Phone (1) but it can stand on its own in its segment, all thanks to its premium design. The phone takes a more traditional approach of using frosted glass with a matte frame and curved edges, giving a comfortable grip while still enabling an expensive feel. The three color options of Moonlight Silver, Night Black, and Nebula Green also look pretty premium unlike the Nothing device which comes in just Black and White. 

However, the Nothing Phone (1) stands out in this price segment featuring a transparent back cover with a matrix of LEDs which the company calls the glyph interface. The white color model would be the obvious choice for many and comes with a clear view of the internals like wireless charging coils and customizable LED lights.

Both phones have IP53 rating, so they have dust and water resistance. 

Overall, it’ll be a matter of personal choice whether you prefer POCO F4’s traditional but premium design or the more unique design profile of the Nothing Phone (1).

Display

Both, the Nothing Phone (1) and the POCO F4 5G come with HDR10+ certification, FHD+ resolution, and 120Hz display with Corning gorilla glass 5. The Nothing model is slightly more compact at 6.55-inch while the POCO phone features a 6.67-inch screen. Note that the POCO model would be a bit brighter than the Nothing model owing to its 900 nits (High Brightness Mode) over the 500 nits typical brightness on the Nothing phone. 

Overall, both the displays are well-matched in this department.
 

Specs & Software

The POCO F4 5G clearly has an edge in the performance department of this comparison. The phone comes with the popular Snapdragon 870 chip with up to 12GB of RAM, which means you will have no problems gaming or running high-intensive tasks on this device.  

On the other hand, the Nothing Phone 1 comes with a less powerful, mid-range Snapdragon 778+ processor. This chip is good for mid-range tasks and medium to light gaming, but is clearly no powerhouse. But unless you are a power user, this chip should be fine, especially if you get its 12GB RAM with 256GB ROM version. 

The Nothing Phone (1) comes with a cleaner Nothing OS on top of Android 12. On the other hand, the POCO F4 5G features MIUI 13 based on the same Android 12 version. 

Camera

The Nothing Phone (1) has a dual camera setup, with one 50MP primary camera with OIS and one 50MP shooter for ultra-wide angle shots. Coming to the POCO F4 5G, it uses a more traditional approach of a 64MP primary shooter paired with an 8MP ultra-wide angle shooter and another 2MP macro camera. 

The POCO F4’s primary camera is enough to capture good details and colors in well-lit situations. But it won’t likely blow your mind and the Nothing Phone (1) is likely to output better images, especially when you compare the ultra-wide cameras on both devices. As mentioned above, there’s an additional Macro camera on the POCO model, and it can surprisingly capture good macro shots in well-lit situations. 

But overall, the Nothing model should be able to capture better pictures with its dual camera setup. That said, only a direct camera sample comparison between the two phones would help us get a final verdict regarding its cameras.

Battery

Both phones come with 4500mAh batteries but the POCO F4 adds a faster 67W charger inside. On the other hand, the Nothing Phone (1) supports only a 33W power brick. 

Unfortunately, Nothing does not feature a charger inside its box, and you’ll have to buy it separately as an accessory. However, it does have an edge in the battery department, which comes in the way of wireless and reverse wireless charging at 15W and 5W respectively. 

Price

The Nothing Phone (1) starts at  ₹32,999/£399/€469. On the other hand, the POCO F4 5G is available for a slightly cheaper price tag across the globe(₹27,999/$329/€420). 

The POCO F4 5G would be a safe bet for a flagship killer at this price range. It comes with a powerful processor, good display, decent cameras, along with a fast charging battery. On the other hand, the Nothing Phone (1) brings a unique design profile with LED lights, a good set of cameras, and wireless charging too. 

Your choice would depend on your priorities and budget, so end of the day, it’s up to you to decide which features are more important to you.

Poco F4 5G’s first sale went live in India yesterday and the smartphone has received an extremely positive response from Indian customers. The device has reportedly witnessed record-breaking sales in India. It is claimed to have become the highest-selling flagship in the first sale on Flipkart.

According to Indian E-commerce giant Flipkart, Poco F4 5G has demolished previous sales records and has become the highest-selling flagship smartphone on the platform. The smartphone is also claimed to have received the highest number of searches on any device on the first day of sale on Flipkart.

The device witnessed such an overwhelming response that it went out of stock in just minutes. Moreover, the traffic was so huge that Flipkart’s servers started to malfunction.

Poco phones often receive such response in India because they come packed with flagship features and go easy on the customers’ pockets. It is worth mentioning that Poco is now among the top three online smartphone brands in India. The company stands just behind its parent company, Xiaomi.

Talking about Poco F4 5G’s specifications, it flaunts a 6.67-inch AMOLED display that offers a 120Hz refresh rate and FHD+ resolution. It is powered by a Snapdragon 870 chip paired with up to 8 GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 256 GB of UFS 3.1 storage. The device carries a large 5,000mAh battery with 67W fast charging support.

As far as the cameras are concerned, the Poco F4 5G houses a 20-megapixel camera for selfies. For photography, the device features a 64-megapixel main camera with OIS, an 8-megapixel ultrawide lens, and a 2-megapixel macro camera on the back. It runs MIUI 13 based on Android 12 OS. While you are here, read our detailed analysis to understand why Poco F4 5G is a flagship killer smartphone.

The post Poco F4 5G Demolishes Sales Records on Flipkart, Becomes Highest Selling Flagship in First Sale appeared first on Gizmochina.

Last week, Poco officially took wraps off the Poco F4 5G. Though it is a flagship smartphone for the brand, it can be called a flagship killer.

The meaning of ‘flagship killer’ has changed over the years. But one thing has remained constant and that’s the presence of a high-end chip.

The Poco F4 5G not only has a powerful SoC but also comes with other features that are found on premium smartphones. All of these are clubbed in a single package that costs half of the average flagship smartphone price.

With that being said, let’s check out the reasons why the Poco F4 5G deserves the ‘flagship killer title.

The Chipset Underneath

The term flagship killer is usually associated with mid-range smartphones featuring the latest high-end chipset. The Poco F4 5G does not house the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 or its advanced version Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1. Instead, it is run by a Snapdragon 870.

Despite being powered by a year-old Qualcomm chip, the Poco F4 5G can be still called a ‘flagship killer’. That’s because the Snapdragon 870 underneath it is more reliable than Snapdragon 888 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 1.

The two-gen-old Qualcomm SoC offers better thermal efficiency. Hence, it is capable of providing sustained performance by consuming less energy. This makes the chip better than its poorly built successors. 

On the Poco F4 5G, the Snapdragon 870 is paired with LPDDR5 RAM, UFS 3.1 storage, and liquid cooling technology consisting of a 3112mm² vapor chamber and a 7-layer graphite coverage.

Multimedia Experience

The Poco F4 5G comes with one of the best displays in its segment. The device sports a 6.67-inch FHD+ Samsung E4 AMOLED display with up to a 120Hz refresh rate, MEMC, and 1300 nits peak brightness.

It is one of the few smartphones on the market to carry support for Dolby Vision. The only other handset in the segment with this feature is Xiaomi 11 Lite NE 5G.

The screen is paired with dual stereo speakers with support for Dolby Atmos, which make up for the lack of a 3.5mm headphone jack. The phone also has support for Hi-Res Audio and Hi-Res Audio Wireless.

The aforementioned set of features is well-suited for consuming content on a mobile device. Additionally, thanks to the high-end chip, the gaming experience should be also phenomenal.

Lackluster Camera

Generally, flagship killer smartphones are known for housing lackluster cameras. That’s the case with the Poco F4 5G as well, at least on paper.

The handset sports a triple camera system on the rear. The setup includes an OIS-assisted 64MP Omnivision OV64B primary sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide unit, and a 2MP macro snapper. On the front, there’s a 20MP shooter for selfies and video calls.

Only the rear cameras are capable of recording 4K videos, while the front one is limited to shooting in 1080p. The last year’s Poco F3 5G at least has an incredible 5MP telemacro camera going for it but the Poco F4 5G has no such special feature.

All the Essentials

The Poco F4 5G comes with all the essentials. It arrives with useful features like a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, an IR blaster, an x-axis linear vibration motor, an IP53 rating for splash resistance, and NFC for contactless payments.

Further, the device offers 5G connectivity with support for multiple bands. In addition to WiFi 6, there’s also Bluetooth 5.2 and dual-frequency GNSS.

Finally, it is backed by a 4,500mAh battery with support for 67W fast wired charging. The required charger, cable, a silicone case, and a USB Type-C to 3.5mm headphone jack adapter are included in the retail box, unlike the actual flagship smartphones.

Sweet Pricing

What makes the Poco F4 5G a flagship killer is its price. Despite offering flagship-level features, it carries a price tag of mid-range smartphones.

In Europe, the Poco F4 5G is €50 costlier than the Poco F3 5G when it debuted last year. Whereas, in India, the phone is actually ₹2,000 cheaper than the Mi 11X 5G (Poco F3 5G for the region) from 2021. In every region, the brand is additionally offering discounts, which bring down the price even lower.

This is how much the Poco F4 5G retails for.

A few hours from now, Poco will launch the Poco F4 5G in India and other international markets. Ahead of that, the new India head of the brand made an announcement regarding the phone’s warranty in the country last night. Let’s check out what he has to say.

Recently, Poco appointed Himanshu Tandon as the new Country Head of India. Last night, the executive tweeted a video talking about the warranty for two smartphones.

He revealed that the upcoming Poco F4 5G will arrive with a 2-year warranty in India. For the unaware, unlike the EU where a 2-year warranty is a norm, companies in India only provide a single-year warranty. This makes the Poco F4 5G an exception.

Additionally, the exec announced that the brand has extended the warranty of the Poco X3 Pro by 6 months. The extended warranty period is applicable to all buyers. The device debuted in March 2021, and therefore, even the units that were bought soon after the launch are still under warranty.

Talking about the Poco F4 5G, the upcoming smartphone is marketed as the successor of the Poco F1 in India. But the F1 was an original handset, whereas the F4 5G is merely a rebranded Redmi K40S with a different primary camera.

Interested readers can watch the Poco F4 5G launch event later today at 5:30 PM IST on YouTube.

Poco is gearing up to launch two new smartphones in the global market soon. This includes the X4 GT and F4 5G model. However, prior to their official announcement tomorrow (23rd June 2022), the pricing and specs of both models were found listed in a retailer’s website.

According to a MySmartPrice report, the Chinese smartphone maker’s Poco X4 GT and F4 5G models were found listed on a retailer’s website in Poland. This revealed their complete specifications alongside their prices in the Polish market. The former is a rebranded Redmi K40S while the latter is a rebadged Redmi Note 11T Pro. Looking at the online listing, the X4 GT will be offered in two storage configurations, namely 8GB + 128GB and 8GB + 256GB. Similarly, the F4 5G will also be offered in two options, which is the 6GB + 128GB and 8GB + 256GB models.

The Poco F4 5G’s 6GB variant will be priced at 2,200 PLN (roughly 497 US Dollars), meanwhile its 8GB variant costs 2,400 PLN (roughly 542 US Dollars). The X4 GT starts from 1,900 PLN (roughly 429 US Dollars) for the 8GB + 128GB option while the higher end 256GB model has a price tag of 2,000 PLN (roughly 452 US Dollars). Keep in mind that these prices are for the European market, so there will likely be differences in price tags depending on regions outside of EU.

The brand is also set to launch the Poco F4 5G in India as well, while the X4 GT will not be making its way to the Southeast Asian country. So, this gives us a good idea regarding the F4 5G’s possible pricing for the Indian market. We can expect the 6GB model to cost around 38,900 INR and the higher end 8GB variant to cost around 42,500 INR. The brand is set to launch the two devices via a live stream tomorrow, so stick around as we will be covering the launch event.

Poco is gearing up to launch the Poco F4 5G. The successor of the Poco F3 5G has been confirmed to make its global debut in India and other markets at the same time.

It will be the first Poco F series smartphone in India since the launch of the original Poco F1 in 2018. The country did not get the Poco F2 Pro 5G and the Poco F3 5G.

The brand did release the Poco F3 GT last year. But it is not a proper Poco F series phone as the GT series is distinctly focused on performance and gaming rather than the flagship killer tag.

Let’s take a look at everything that’s known about the Poco F4 5G ahead of its official announcement.

Poco F4 5G Launch Date

The Poco F4 5G is scheduled to launch on June 23. It will be announced in a live stream on Youtube, which will begin at 5:30 PM IST (8 PM GMT+8).

The handset will be accompanied by yet another device called Poco X4 GT 5G. This second phone will most likely not make its debut in India.

Poco F4 5G Design

Going by the leaks and teasers, the upcoming Poco F4 5G will be a rebranded Redmi 40S with a different primary camera. Hence, it will feature the same design as the Redmi-branded device that went official in China in March.

The Poco F4 5G will sport a plastic body like the original Poco F1, however, it will come with the now-popular flat frame. The front will be occupied by a centered punch-hole display with Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection.

Whereas, on the back, the phone will house a triple camera setup arranged in a  triangular fashion. These cameras will be placed in a circular module on a rectangular island.

The power and volume keys will reside on the right side, while the left side will include the SIM card slot. An IR blaster and a speaker grille will be on the top as opposed to a USB Type-C port and another speaker grille at the bottom.

Lastly, the product will measure 163.2 x 75.95 x 7.7mm in dimensions and weigh 195g.

Poco F4 5G Specifications

The Poco F4 5G is said to retain all the features of the Redmi K40S, except for the primary camera.

The phone will flaunt a 6.67-inch centered Samsung E4 AMOLED display with a resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels and up to a 120Hz refresh rate as well as a 360Hz touch sampling rate. The 8-bit panel will have support for a 5000000:1 contrast ratio, 1300 nits peak brightness level, MEMC, and multiple HDR standards (Dolby Vision, HDR10+). The centered punch-hole screen will be protected by a Corning Gorilla Glass 5 layer.

As far as performance is concerned, the handset will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 SoC. The chipset will be paired with LPDDR5 RAM, UFS 3.1 storage, and VC liquid cooling technology. It will boot MIUI 13 based on Android 12.

Talking about optics, it will come with a triple camera system on the rear. The setup will comprise a 64MP primary sensor with OIS, an 8MP ultra-wide unit, and a 2MP macro snapper. On the front, it will nest a 20MP shooter inside the punch-hole for selfies and video calls.

On the connectivity front, the device will offer support for dual SIM card slots, 5G, WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, dual GNSS, NFC (market dependent), and USB Type-C. It will lack a 3.5mm headphone jack like most smartphones these days.

However, it will arrive with Dolby Atmos-supported dual stereo speakers, an x-axis linear vibration motor, and an IR blaster. It will also carry support for Hi-Res Audio, Hi-Res Audio Wireless, and IP53 rating for splash resistance.

The handset will carry almost all the essential sensors, like a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, accelerometer, 360° ambient light sensor, gyroscope, compass, and a color correction sensor. It will not feature a proximity sensor like almost all the Xiaomi smartphones released in the last few quarters in favor of Elliptic Labs’ virtual proximity sensing.

Finally, the device will be backed by a 4,500mAh battery with support for 67W fast wired charging and charging protocols like Qualcomm Quick Charge 3+ as well as USB Power Delivery 3.0.

Poco F4 5G Expected Price

POCO is gearing up to soon launch the new F4 5G model for the global market. However, prior to its official announcement, a new leak has revealed its pricing for the Indian region and even shared some more specifications details.

On the other hand, the same model is tipped to launch for a price of just 26,999 INR (roughly 345 US Dollars). So with additional bank offers, this handset might even be available for a price as low as 23,999 INR (roughly 308 US Dollars).

In other words, this implies that F4 5G model might be the cheapest device that is equipped with the flagship Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 SoC. Talking about some of its other specifications, the POCO F4 is expected to sport a 6.67 inch AMOLED display that has a Full HD+ resolution that supports 120Hz refresh rate. At the moment, it is confirmed that the handset will feature a Snapdragon 870 that will be paired with up to 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 256GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage.

Under the hood, a large 4,500mAh battery pack is expected to power the device, which would likely support 67W fast charging as well. It may even be equipped with a side mounted fingerprint scanner, an infrared sensor, Dolby Atmos, dual speakers, and USB Type C port for charging. The rear packs a 64 megapixel triple camera setup, while the front may house a 20 megapixel selfie shooter.

POCO will soon be launching the POCO F4 5G smartphone globally. The brand has already confirmed that it comes with a Snapdragon 870 chipset. And now, the company has teased its thermal management system showcasing its performance.

According to POCO, the F4 5G will use a cooling system dubbed Liquidcool 2.0. This is a seven-layer 3,112mm2 vapor chamber with graphite sheets. POCO also demonstrated the thermal performance of the F4 5G by pitting it against devices like the iQOO 9 SE and the OnePlus 10 Pro. The POCO F4 was on average a few degrees cooler than the competition during the thermal test and throttled just 5% compared to the 18% of the iQOO 9 SE and the 29% of the OnePlus 10 Pro.

This test, however, feels a bit unfair as the competition is running the Snapdragon 888 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. Both of these chipsets are notorious for overheating.

The handset will boot MIUI 13 based on Android 12 and will be backed by a 4,500mAh battery with support for 67W fast charging. It will come with dual stereo speakers, a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, and an IR blaster.

Last but not least, the Poco F4 5G will feature a 64MP OIS-assisted primary camera instead of an OIS-assisted 48MP main camera on the Redmi K40S. Anyway, it is expected to have the same 8MP ultra-wide unit, 2MP macro snapper, and 20MP front-facing shooter.
