Transsion is a brand present in a few regions only, but it makes amazing phones. One of them is the Tecno Camon 17 Pro, one of the best and most original phones in its price range. Is Tecno able to compete with other mainstream smartphone manufacturers? We think yes if we talk about budget phones like the Camon 17 Pro. And in order to demonstrate it, we decided to publish a specs comparison between two best-buys of the actual market. When it comes to budget phones, Realme and POCO are kings. That is why we chose the Realme 8 and the POCO M3 Pro 5G for this comparison.

Tecno Camon 17 Pro vs Realme 8 vs Xiaomi POCO M3 Pro 5G

Design

My favorite design in this trio is the one of the Realme 8, not only for the look but also because it has a thinner and lighter body, with a thickness of just 8 mm and a weight of 177 grams. Despite that, it has the same battery capacity as the Tecno Camon 17 Pro and the POCO M3 Pro 5G, and it is even more compact thanks to its smaller display, so it is the best for one-handed users. Last but not least, it has an in-display fingerprint reader.

Display

If you need the best display, go for the Realme 8 without thinking twice. Only the Realme 8 is equipped with an AMOLED display, that is why it is able to show more brilliant colors and deep blacks. Further, as said above, it has an in-display fingerprint reader making the authentication more comfortable. And it is not all, as the Realme 8 comes with the HDR10 certification improving the image quality on the streaming platforms and it has a very high peak brightness (it goes up to 1000 nits). Tecno Camon 17 Pro has a very wide display, but it is an IPS panel so the image quality is inferior. The POCO M3 Pro 5G sits in the middle with its 6.5-inch display, but still an IPS panel.

Hardware/Software

The most powerful hardware belongs to the POCO M3 Pro 5G. First of all, it is the only one supporting the 5G connectivity. Further, it has a processor built at 7 nm, a better production process compared to the 12 nm of the Helio G95. Last but not least, the Dimensity 700 is stronger than the Helio G95. On the other hand, you can get more RAM with the Tecno Camon 17 Pro: up to 8 GB. But it lacks 5G support and it has an inferior chipset, especially in terms of power management. All the phones run Android 11.

Camera

The most advanced rear cameras come with Tecno Camon 17 Pro and Realme 8. They have a 64 MP main camera, an 8 MP ultrawide lens, and a pair of 2 MP cameras for macros and depth calculation. The Tecno Camon 17 Pro adds a much better 48 MP front camera including dual LED flash.

Battery

The battery capacity is the same for each device, but the Realme 8 should provide a longer battery life because of its AMOLED display. Further, it comes with a faster 30W charging technology.

Tecno Camon 17 Pro vs Realme 8 vs Xiaomi POCO M3 Pro 5G: Price

Tecno Camon 17 Pro costs Rs. 16,999 / $233, Realme 8 starts from the same price, and POCO M3 Pro starts from Rs. 14,499 / $200. POCO M3 Pro 5G has a higher value for money, but Realme 8 wins the comparison due to its AMOLED display. However, if you do not mind about it, you could find Tecno Camon 17 Pro better due to its amazing front camera.

How many names can a phone go by? For the Redmi Note 10T, the answer is three. The new smartphone is the same device sold as the Redmi Note 10 5G in Europe and as the POCO M3 Pro in other markets including Russia!

Redmi Note 10T Specs

The Redmi Note 10T has a 6.5-inch FHD+ Dot Display with a 2400 x 1080 resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate with AdaptiveSync technology. The centered punch hole is home to an 8MP camera that can take portrait selfies, record in FHD, and also has a timelapse mode.

There is a Dimensity 700 processor under the hood. It is a 5G chipset but there is no support for 5G. The spec sheet says that the phone comes in three configurations – 4GB RAM + 64GB, 4GB RAM + 128GB, and 6GB RAM + 128GB. The RAM is LPDDR4X and the storage is UFS 2.2.

For the rear cameras, you get a 48MP f/1.79 main camera, a 2MP f/2.4 macro camera, and a 2MP f/2.4 depth sensor. The camera can record in FHD at 30fps and also in HD slow motion at 120fps. There is also a macro video mode.

The Redmi Note 10T comes with a side-mounted fingerprint scanner and also has support for AI Face Unlock. It has got NFC, an IR blaster, and an earphone jack too. It runs MIUI 12 based on Android 11 out of the box, packs a 5000mAh battery, and has support for 18W fast charging.

Redmi Note 10T Price and Availability

The Redmi Note 10T is currently available only in one configuration as of the time of writing, and that is the 4GB RAM + 128GB version. It can be purchased in Green Glow, Blue Midnight, Silver Chrome, or Graphite Gray for ₽21,990 (~$305). However, the price has been discounted to ₽19,990 (~$277).

Regardless of the discount, we don’t recommend that you buy it. Why? This is because Xiaomi Russia is selling the 6GB RAM + 128GB version of the POCO M3 Pro (no 5G), which is the Redmi Note 10T with a slightly different design and POCO branding, for ₽16,990 (~$235)!!! Both phones are available on the Xiaomi Russia website.

5G phones are becoming incredibly affordable in the last period, not only in China but even in the European market. The latest challenge of the main smartphone manufacturers is releasing a 5G phone with the lowest price tag possible, and there are already several entry-level 5G phones even in the €200 price range. Among the latest ones launched in the global market, you get the POCO M3 Pro, the Vivo Y52 5G, and the Motorola Moto G50. Here is a comparison between their specifications.

Xiaomi POCO M3 Pro vs Vivo Y52 5G vs Motorola Moto G50

Design

If you look at the camera module, you can immediately realize that the POCO M3 Pro 5G has the most original design of the trio. The handset looks very attractive and youth to be just an entry-level, especially if you look at the POCO Yellow color variant. The Vivo Y52 5G is a bit more elegant and sober, but with bigger dimensions. With the Motorola Moto G50, you get a water-repellent design which is very useful if you want to use your phone in the rain. While POCO M3 Pro 5G and Vivo Y52 5G have a side-mounted fingerprint reader, while the Motorola Moto G50 has a rear-mounted one.

Display

The most advanced display belongs to the POCO M3 Pro 5G. It is a 6.5-inch panel with a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels and a refresh rate of 90 Hz. It also offers the Gorilla Glass 3 protection by Corning. With the Vivo Y52 5G, you get a display with a Full HD+ resolution as well, but it lacks a high refresh rate. The Motorola Moto G50 has an inferior HD+ display, but it has a 90 Hz refresh rate. You should have understood the reason why POCO M3 Pro 5G is the best.

Hardware/Software

POCO M3 Pro 5G and Vivo Y52 5G are more powerful than the Motorola Moto G50 because they pack a Dimensity 700 processor built at 7 nm with better performance than Snapdragon 480 and even lower energy consumption. Between POCO M3 Pro 5G and Vivo Y52 5G, the former is the winner because it offers up to 6 GB of RAM and UFS 2.2 internal storage. Each of these phones runs Android 11 out of the box despite they are entry-level devices.

Camera

The best cameras are found on the Motorola Moto G50. It has a triple camera including a 48 MP main sensor with a brighter f/1.7 focal aperture, a 2 MP depth sensor, and a superior macro camera with a 5 MP resolution. The Motorola Moto G50 even provides a better front camera with a 13 MP resolution. Both POCO M3 Pro 5G and Vivo Y52 5G pack a triple camera with a 48 MP main sensor, a 2 MP macro camera, and a 2 MP depth sensor, as well as an 8 MP front camera.

Battery

POCO M3 Pro 5G, Vivo Y52 5G, and Motorola Moto G50 have a similar battery life because they come with the same battery capacity: 5000 mAh. But the Motorola Moto G50 should last a bit more because its display has a lower resolution.

Xiaomi POCO M3 Pro vs Vivo Y52 5G vs Motorola Moto G50: Price

POCO M3 Pro 5G hitten the European market with a starting price of €159/$194, Motorola Moto G50 starts from €279/$340, we still do not know the price of the Vivo Y52 5G. Despite Motorola Moto G50 has better cameras, the POCO M3 Pro 5G wins the overall comparison because of its better display and higher value for money.

Xiaomi announced the most affordable 5G phone in Europe: the POCO M3 Pro 5G. It packs impressive specifications if we consider its listing price. But is it the best cheap 5G phone you can currently get in the global market? We think there is no better way to realize it than comparing its specifications with the other most affordable 5G phones from the other brands. So this is a comparison between POCO M3 Pro 5G, OPPO A54 5G, and Realme 8 5G.

Xiaomi POCO M3 Pro 5G vs OPPO A54 5G vs Realme 8 5G

Design

The POCO M3 Pro 5G is the handset with the most original design in the trio, especially in the POCO Yellow color variant. But with the OPPO A54 5G, you actually get a thinner body. The Realme 8 5G is the most lightweight one. There is no real winner between these devices if we consider the design: it is mostly a matter of taste. All are made of polycarbonate, so you do not get premium materials. Even the dimensions are more or less the same. They all sport a side-mounted fingerprint reader.

Display

All of these phones come with LCD displays sporting a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels, a diagonal of 6.5 inches, and a 90 Hz refresh rate. But with the OPPO A54 5G you get a slightly better panel with the LTPS technology. Given that we are talking about average IPS displays, do not expect a huge image quality. But they are more than sufficient for every user. With the POCO M3 Pro 5G, you get a lower brightness, so while the OPPO A54 5G takes the crown, the second place goes to the Realme 8 5G.

Hardware/Software

On the paper, the MediaTek Dimensity 700 found on the POCO M3 Pro 5G and Realme 8 5G is a better processor if compared to the Snapdragon 480 5G found on the OPPO A54 5G. Further, with the OPPO A54 5G you get just 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of native storage. The best hardware setup is provided by the Realme 8 5G which sports up to 8 GB of RAM and up to 128 GB of internal storage. But you should not underestimate the POCO M3 Pro 5G with its UFS 2.2 storage, despite it packs a max of 6 GB of RAM. All the phones run Android 11 out of the box with customized user interfaces.

Camera

The OPPO A54 5G has the most advanced cameras. It packs a quad camera including a 48 MP main sensor with a brighter f/1.7 focal aperture, an 8 MP ultrawide sensor, and a pair of 2 MP sensors for macros and depth calculation. Unfortunately, the POCO M3 Pro 5G and the Realme 8 5G lack an ultrawide camera. Further, they do not have a focal aperture as bright as the OPPO A54 5G. With the POCO M3 Pro 5G, you even get an inferior 8 MP front camera.

Battery

The POCO M3 Pro 5G, the OPPO A54 5G, and the Realme 8 5G come with the same battery capacity: 5000 mAh. But the POCO M3 Pro 5G and the Realme 8 5G should have a lower energy consumption due to the 7 nm production process of the Dimensity 700. Further, you should consider that OPPO A54 5G lacks fast charging, so it takes a bit more to charge its battery.

Xiaomi POCO M3 Pro 5G vs OPPO A54 5G vs Realme 8 5G: Price

POCO M3 Pro 5G’s prices start from €159/$194, OPPO A54 5G costs €269/$328, and Realme 8 5G is priced at €199/$242. While OPPO A54 5G is definitely a more convincing device, with the Realme 8 5G and the POCO M3 Pro 5G (which is the weakest one in terms of overall specs) you get a higher value for money.

Six months after the launch of the POCO M3 model, POCO has launched an upgraded version, the M3 Pro. The M3 standard version is doing relatively well among many 4G entry-level phones, so can the M3 Pro do well among entry-level 5G phones?

We got the phone in advance to check out the brand’s latest entry-level 5G phone.

POCO M3 Pro 5G Review: Design

The M3 Pro’s appearance differs from that of the M3, and clearly, changes have been made once again. The lens module is still a vertical triple camera setup, but the large black rectangular design has been removed. The M3 Pro has a new back cover design, with two rounded rectangles near the lens and the POCO logo inside.

The leather-like material on the back cover has been replaced with a mirror-reflective coating,  which is a fingerprint magnet. Although this back cover pattern design is pretty unique, and beautiful, I still prefer the M3’s standard design because it leaves a deeper impression. The fingerprint sensor is still on the side of the body. And the M3 Pro is not only equipped with a 3.5mm headphone jack and IR blaster, but it even features NFC, which is not present on the standard version of the M3. However, we still found some minor drawbacks, such as the omission of the dual speakers found on the standard version.

POCO M3 Pro 5G Review: Display 

However, the M3 Pro brings much-needed screen upgrades. Although it is still an LCD 1080P screen, the refresh rate is increased to 90Hz, and the water drop screen has also been replaced with a hole-punch screen. The hole size is larger, but the surrounding shadows are better controlled. The screen looks rather average, but considering it is only a 5G entry phone, to have a 90Hz screen is already ahead of many other phones in the same price range.

So our evaluation of this screen is: it basically meets the needs of a customer in this price segment

POCO M3 Pro 5G Review: Hardware & Gaming

The POCO M3 Pro uses MTK’s Dimensity 700 SOC, which is one of the entry-level 5G chips available, so it makes sense to use it. The phone scores 329087 on AnTuTu, while in Geekbench 5 single-core test it scores 558, and in the multi-core test around 1734.

This score is a little better than the M3’s Snapdragon 662, but not by much. Because it is an entry-level chip, the gaming performance is not very good. PUBG has no way to turn on HDR Graphics and Extreme frame rate, and in HD Graphics you can’t turn on Ultra frame rate, which means if you want to play PUBG at 40fps, you have to turn on Balanced Graphics or Smooth Graphics. The good news is that it still plays smoothly with Balanced Graphics. 

Genshin Impact and Brightridge turned out to be too much for this chip, and even with Genshin Impact on Medium Graphics and Motion Blur off, the frame rate is not high. And even though the temperature is only 42 degrees Celsius, there is still a decrease in the CPU frequency in the later stages. Brightridge is only 12fps on average with the highest special effects. While it is not recommended to play these games on an entry-level phone, it’s still possible to play some games that don’t require high performance such as PUBG.

POCO M3 Pro 5G Review: Camera Performance

Main Camera

The lens is still configured with a 48MP main camera plus a depth of field lens and a macro lens. There is no ultra-wide lens. The imaging style is relatively realistic, with moderate HDR intensity, but the colors of the flowers tend to spill over when AI is turned on. The same situation of AI spoiling the images also occurs in the evening. The control of highlights with AI on is not as good as with AI off. Perhaps POCO feels that brighter lights are more pleasing to the eye. But the best performance at night is still with the night mode, the highlight control is better than with AI off, but probably it’s because of the limited ability of CMOS, the detail part of the picture is not much improved.

Portrait Mode

One of the more pleasant surprises is the portrait mode. Because of the assistance of the depth-of-field lens, keying errors are rare. Even if the subject is not a person, the depth of field information can be correctly identified.

As for Video, the M3 Pro only supports 1080P and 720P 30fps recording, but there is Image stabilization. So daily recording won’t be a problem.

POCO M3 Pro 5G Review: Battery Life 

Coming to the battery, the POCO M3 Pro is the same as the M3, it only supports 18W charging power, but the box is equipped with a 22.5w charger. 18w charging power is still slow to fill the 5000mAh battery. Half an hour charges to 35%, and one hour to charge to 67%. It takes 116 minutes to fully charge to 100%. Weak SOC performance also means more power saving. Half an hour of Tik Tok consumes 7%, half an hour of online video uses up 6%. 23 minutes of PUBG drains 5%, and half an hour of Genshin Impact only around 10%. This level of battery life is good for an entire day.

So the M3 Pro is POCO’s first entry-level 5G mobile phone this year.

What do you think? Has the phone met your expectations?

Compared to the M3, the main upgrade point of the M3 Pro is the support for 5G and a high refresh rate of 90Hz. Although 5G may be of little use now to some users, if you plan to use the phone for two or three years, then 5G support can be a differentiating factor.

The POCO M3 Pro 5G is currently available on Aliexpress for just $169. Use code 10M3PRO to get another 10$ off!

The post POCO M3 Pro 5G Review: POCO’s Affordable 5G Phone is HERE! appeared first on Gizmochina.

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 5G that has a model number M2103K19G went official in global markets last month. Soon, a variant of this same device was spotted at the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) with the M2013K19PI model number. A global edition of this device with model number M2013K19PG has now appeared in the database of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). A quick search for the device’s IMEI number through India’s IMEI database reveals that it could be landing in India and other markets with the name of POCO M3 Pro.

The FCC listing there is no difference in the specifications between M2103K19G (Redmi Note 10 5G) and M2013K19PG (POCO M3 Pro). However, there could be some noticeable differences in terms of design. Probably, it could be featuring a big camera array like the POCO M3, which was announced back in November.

1 of 2

POCO has launched a few flagships like the POCO F3 and POCO F2 Pro with flagship specs, but it has not launched a midrange phone with 5G support. Hence, the POCO M3 Pro could be the company’s first midrange 5G phone. Moreover, it could India’s first POCO phone with 5G support.

POCO M3 Pro specifications (Rumored)

The POCO M3 Pro has a 6.5-inch IPS LCD punch-hole display that produces an HD+ resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate. It draws power from Dimensity 700 chipset and 4 GB / 6 GB of RAM. The handset is loaded with MIUI 12 based Android 11 OS and it may arrive in 64 GB and 128 GB of UFS 2.2 storage choices.

For photography, the rear camera island of the POCO M3 Pro may include a 48-megapixel main camera and a pair of 2-megapixel lenses. It may house a 5,000mAh battery that supports 18W fast charging. For security, it may feature a side-facing fingerprint reader.

Interestingly, a variant of the same phone with model number M2013K19C was approved by China’s TENAA regulatory body recently. Newer reports revealed that this device could be arriving in China with the Redmi 20X moniker and 999 Yuan (~$152) price tag.
