Like every month, Master Lu Benchmark has released the lists of best smartphones launched in August in terms of performance and UI fluency. The Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra aka Mi 10 Extreme Commemorative Edition leads both the lists, followed by iQOO 5.

Master Lu is a popular benchmarking platform in China. Like AnTuTu, it also releases monthly lists of best smartphones. The company shared the list of best-performing devices yesterday, followed by UI fluency list today on Weibo.

Surprisingly, the Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra tops both the lists despite it being powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 unlike Snapdragon 865+ (Plus) present in Galaxy Note20 Ultra. Also, the regular iQOO 5 comes second instead of iQOO 5 Pro, which is at the fifth position.

Similarly, the regular Galaxy Note20 ranks third in performance, whereas the Ultra captures fourth place. However, in UI fluency, the latter comes at distant seventh, followed by the former at eighth.

Other notable handsets in the performance list include Redmi K30 Ultra, vivo S7, OPPO K7, realme V5, and Nokia C3 from sixth position onwards.

Unsurprisingly, the Redmi K30 Ultra ranks ninth, just ahead of Nokia C3 in UI fluency. This goes in line with our review, in which we experienced it to be janky despite featuring MediaTek Dimensity 1000+ (Plus) chipset. Xiaomi really needs to optimize the software on this phone.

Last but not least, the vivo S7, OPPO K7, and realme V5 rank fourth, fifth, and fifth respectively in UI fluency.

According to a reliable tipster from China, Realme is working on a new phone fueled by the Dimensity 720 chipset. The smartphone is expected to be positioned lower than the Realme V5 5G that debuted recently in China. Hence, it appears that the mysterious Realme phone could be arriving in the market as the most affordable 5G-ready smartphone.

The Dimensity 720 powered Realme V5 5G arrived in China with a starting price of 1,399 Yuan (~$201). As compared to the Realme V5, the unnamed Realme phone that the tipster is talking about has weaker specs despite featuring the same Dimensity 720 SoC. Probably, it could be priced around 1,199 Yuan (~$172).

Recent reports have revealed that Huawei is planning to unveil the Enjoy 20 5G phone in China. It is a phone with LCD panel display, 13-megapixel triple cameras, 5,000mAh battery and is rumored to be powered by Dimensity 720 chipset. The rumor mill has claimed that it could be the cheapest 5G phone from Huawei. Realme seems to be planning to rival the Enjoy 20 5G with its new Dimensity 720 powered phone.

The mysterious handset that the leakster is talking about could be the Realme RMX2200 phone that is now listed in TENAA’s database with few details on its specs. The listing has revealed that it has a 6.52-inch display and a 4,980mAh battery. The phone measures 164.4 x 76 x 8.6mm and it carries support for 5G connectivity. The listing of the phone is expected to soon get populated with its images and remaining specs.

In related news, another Realme phone with model number RMX2176 has surfaced on TENAA with minimum details. It has an FHD+ 6.43-inch OLED panel with punch-hole design and high refresh rate support. It may come with a 32-megapixel front camera and a 64-mgeapixel quad rear camera. The phone could be fueled by Snapdragon 765G and 4.300mAh dual-cell battery with 50W / 65W fast charging support.

Today, Realme announced the most affordable 5G phone to date. We are talking about the Realme V5: despite its incredibly affordable price, this handset packs amazing specifications. It is definitely a best-buy, but is it the device with the highest value for money out there? We think there is no better way to establish it than comparing it with the other affordable 5G phones in the market. And among the most affordable one, we got the Honor X10 by Huawei’s brand and the Redmi 10X by Xiaomi. Let’s discover together which one is the most interesting.

Realme V5 5G vs Huawei Honor X10 vs Xiaomi Redmi 10X

Design

Redmi 10X has a more classic and less attractive design than its rivals, but it comes with very high build quality. Indeed, it sports a glass back just like premium handsets. Further, the rear glass and the display are protected by Gorilla Glass 5 by Corning. You do not get such a great build quality with the Honor X10 and Realme V5, but they have a more attractive look: in the first case, you get a full-screen display with a pop-up front camera, while in the second case there is a punch-hole display. Make your choice depending on your tastes and needs.

Display

My favorite display belongs to the Redmi 10X and I think a lot of people would agree with me. It does not have a 90 Hz refresh rate like the Honor X10 and the Realme V5, but it is the only one with an AMOLED display and it even comes with the HDR10+ certification for better image quality. Last but not least, it has very high brightness, so it is visible under sunlight. With the Realme V5 and the Honor X10, you get an IPS display, but they have a high 90 Hz refresh rate which allows having a smoother viewing experience and better gameplay.

Specs & Software

One of the strongest points of the Redmi 10X is the hardware department: it has the most powerful chipset under the hood. We are referring to the Dimensity 820 boasting high CPU and GPU performance. The handset also packs up to 8 GB of RAM. But note that the Honor X10 is very close with its Kirin 820 5G; it does not seem a case that the two chipsets are identified by the same number. Unfortunately, the Realme V5 has an inferior Dimensity 720 SoC, so you will get inferior performances overall. Android 10 is installed out of the box in each case, with a customized user interface on top.

Camera

The most impressive camera department belongs to the Honor X10 which packs a great 40 MP main sensor for its rear camera setup. Right after, we got the Realme V5, at least on the paper. But we have to test it thoroughly in order to establish whether its camera is really valid: given that it went official today, we had no chance to do it. Redmi 10X has a similar camera department to the Realme V5, but it lacks the macro camera and it just comes with three sensors on the rear side.

Battery

The key feature of the Realme V5 is a huge 5000 mAh battery which will allow it to last a lot more than its rivals on a single charge. It even comes with a faster charging technology, with a power of 30W. Right after, we got the Redmi 10X with a 4520 mAh battery and an efficient AMOLED display.

Price

Realme V5 is priced just €183/$215 in its base variant and it wins the value for money comparison. Redmi 10X starts from €238/$280 and it offers a better display and better hardware, so it is slightly superior to its opponents overall. Honor X10 has better cameras and it sits in the middle in terms of hardware, but it starts from €271/$319.
