We recently offered an update for our Best Flagship Killer list and even shared a new Best smartphone list for under 50,000 INR. Now, here’s our updated picks for the best smartphones under 30,000 INR.

iQOO Neo 6

In this price range, the iQOO Neo 6 is undoubtedly one of the best options a prospective buyer can consider when buying a phone under 30,000 INR. It sports a 6.62 inch FHD+ AMOLED display that has a 120Hz refresh rate. But, its most notable feature is the inclusion of a flagship Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 SoC that is paired with up to 12GB of RAM and up to 256GB of internal storage. The device runs on Android 12 OS and is powered by a large 4,700mAh battery that supports 80W fast charging as well.

For cameras, the Chinese company is offering a 64 megapixel triple camera setup on the rear. So all in all, its a pretty solid pick in this price tag thanks to its great specifications and relatively affordable price tag. It is currently listed on Amazon India for a price of 29,999 INR for the 8GB + 128GB model. Another iQOO phone that you can consider is the iQOO 7 that has a similar price tag and also feature the Snapdragon 870. However, this variant is a bit older so the newer model will have longer software support.

Motorola Edge 30

Motorola has had a strong performance in the mid range segment and its latest Edge 30 is another great option for those that prefer a stock Android experience with their smartphones. It sports a 6.55 inch pOLED display that has a FHD+ resolution and 144Hz refresh rate. Under the hood, the device is equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G+ SoC and it runs on Android 12 OS out of the box.

The rear packs a triple camera setup with a 50 megapixel primary and another 50 megapixel ultra wide angle lens, along with a 2 megapixel depth sensor. Apart from its stock Android experience, it also features an attractive design with a slim body that measures just 7.4mm and a rear panel made from polycarbonate, which helps in keeps its weight low, measuring just 155 grams. The smartphone has a price tag of 27,999 INR (roughly 360 US Dollars) and is currently listed on Flipkart.

OnePlus Nord 2T

Thanks to its Nord series of smartphones, OnePlus has established a strong presence in the mid range segment, and the new Nord 2T is another great offering in this price range. It is equipped with a MediaTek Dimensity 1300 SoC that is paired with up to 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. On the front it sports a 6.43 inch AMOLED HDR10+ display that has a FHD+ resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate.

The smartphone packs a triple camera setup on the rear, with the primary sensor being a 50 megapixel Sony IMX766 sensor, an 8 megapixel ultra wide angle lens, and a 2 megapixel macro sensor. This camera is typically found in more pricier models, so the Nord 2T can be a great choice for those that use their phones for photography often. It is currently listed on Amazon India and starts for a price tag of 28,999 INR for its 8GB + 128GB configuration.

Vivo V23

Within the 30,000 INR segment, flagship smartphones aren’t as common and we already listed the iQOO Neo 6, which had some top notch specs. Although, Vivo has a handset that offers a premium experience through its design. The Vivo V23 features a Fluorite AG Glass that glitters when light is reflected on it. This rear panel is surrounded by a metallic frame. On the front, the smartphone sports a 6.44 inch FHD+ AMOLED display that has a 90Hz refresh rate and HDR10+ support.

Under the hood, the device packs the Dimensity 920 SoC that is paired with up to 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. The rear features a triple camera setup that includes a 64 megapixel primary sensor, an 8 megapixel ultra wide angle lens, and a megapixel depth sensor. The front also includes a 50-megapixel dual camera setup. So for those looking to carry around a device that turns head, this might the one for you. It is currently listed on Flipkart for 29,990 INR.

Samsung Galaxy M52

The Samsung Galaxy M52 is another worthy option in the sub-30 K category. Its Galaxy M series has always been popular in this price range and one of the latest includes the M52, which offers a Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G SoC and a massive 5,000mah battery pack that supports 25W fast charging (although, the box only includes a 15W charger).

On the front, it sports a large 6.7 inch Super AMOLED panel that has a 120Hz refresh rate, FHD+ resolution, and a Gorilla Glass 5 protection. The rear packs a 64 megapixel triple camera setup, so all things considered, the offering from the South Korean tech giant is quite decent at this price range. It is currently available on Amazon India, with its 6GB + 128GB configuration costing 29,999 INR.

POCO F4

The POCO F4 is easily one of the best smartphones under this price segment. It arrives with a 6.67 inch E4 AMOLED display that has a Full HD+ resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, 1300 nits peak brightness, and even HDR10+ and Dolby Vision support. The company has also placed an emphasis on its design with a gradient rear panel that also features a triple camera setup on a rectangular shaped module. The module houses the 64 megapixel primary sensor that has OIS support, along with the 8 megapixel ultra wide angle lens, and a 2 megapixel depth camera. Meanwhile, the front houses a 20 megapixel selfie shooter.

Under the hood, the device houses a Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 SoC that is paired with up to 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. In other words, it is equipped with some top notch specs. So, for gamers and regular power users, this device should be able to handle anything you throw at it. It is available for purchase on Flipkart for a price tag of 27,999 INR for its 6GB + 128GB variant. Although, you can also consider the 8GB + 128GB variant that costs 29,999 INR.

Samsung Galaxy A33

Rounding up the list, we have another Samsung smartphone. Our last pick is the Galaxy A33 that was launched recently. It has a 6.4 inch Super AMOLED display on the front that has a 90Hz refresh rate and FHD+ resolution. Under the hood, the device is equipped with a Exynos 1280 SoC paired with up to 8GB of RAM and up to 256GB of internal storage. The handset is powered by a 5,000mAh battery pack that supports 25W fast charging.

On the rear, it features a 48 megapixel quad camera setup. The smartphone runs on the Android 12 OS-based One UI 4.1 custom skin out of the box. While this model might not be particularly eye catching, it has decent specs and even offers up to 4 years of software update. So for those looking to have a device that stays updated for long can consider this as their next upgrade option.

It is equipped with a MediaTek Dimensity 1200 SoC that is paired with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. On the front it sports a 6.43 inch AMOLED HDR10+ display that has a FHD+ resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate. While these specs are solid, its unique selling point is its rear cameras.

The post Best Smartphones under Rs 30,000 (June 2022): iQOO Neo 6, Moto Edge 30, OnePlus Nord 2, & more appeared first on Gizmochina.

A few days ago, Samsung announced its new mid-range lineup in the global market. It is composed of three handsets: the Samsung Galaxy A33 5G, the Galaxy A53 5G, and the Galaxy A73 5G. These three devices come with different specifications, but they are very similar in terms of hardware and performance. For a lot of users, it is not easy to understand the differences between these three phones and that is the reason why a comparison between the specifications of the Samsung Galaxy A33 5G, the Galaxy A53 5G, and the Galaxy A73 5G may be very useful. So here is an in-depth comparison between the latest Samsung mid-rangers.

Samsung Galaxy A33 5G vs Samsung Galaxy A53 5G vs Samsung Galaxy A73 5G

Design

There are no big changes between the designs of these three phones. The Samsung Galaxy A33 5G is the less impressive one because it comes with a waterdrop notch instead of an elegant punch-hole display. The Samsung Galaxy A53 5G is the most interesting one because it has a punch-hole display and the same design as the Galaxy A73 5G, but it is more compact thanks to the presence of a smaller display. On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy A73 5G is thinner and lighter. Unfortunately, these phones are not built with premium materials: they have a polycarbonate body like budget phones. But they are all water resistant with the IP67 certification, and it is not easy to find this feature on midrange phones.

Display

The most advanced displays belong to the Samsung Galaxy A53 5G and the Galaxy A73 5G, and they are at the same level. These two handsets sport Super AMOLED panels with a 120 Hz refresh rate and a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels, as well as the Gorilla Glass 5 protection and an in-display fingerprint reader. The only important difference between these two displays is the diagonal: the Samsung Galaxy A53 5G has a 6.5-inch display, while the Galaxy A73 5G comes with a wider 6.7-inch panel. The Samsung Galaxy A33 5G is inferior but not so much: it has a lower 90 Hz refresh rate, a smaller 6.4-inch diagonal, and a waterdrop notch instead of a punch hole.

Hardware/Software

If you need the most powerful phone, then go for the Samsung Galaxy A73 5G. It is the only one powered by the Snapdragon 778G mobile platform, which is actually stronger than the Samsung Exynos 1280 found on the Samsung Galaxy A33 5G and the Galaxy A53 5G. The highest-end memory configuration of these phones is the same, with 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of internal storage you can furtherly expand with a micro SD. The whole trio runs Android 12 with One UI 4.1 on top.

Camera

The Samsung Galaxy A73 5G is equipped with the best main camera: a great 108 MP sensor with OIS. Right after, we got the Galaxy A53 5G coming with a 64 MP main sensor with OIS. The Galaxy A33 5G takes the last place with a 48 MP sensor, but it still has OIS. The A53 5G and the A73 5G also come with a better ultrawide camera (12 MP against the 8 MP sensor found on the A33 5G). Last but not least, they have a better 32 MP camera (against just 13 MP).

Battery

The battery capacities are the same, and even the fast charging technology: 5000 mAh and 25W, respectively.

Samsung Galaxy A33 5G vs Samsung Galaxy A53 5G vs Samsung Galaxy A73 5G: Price

Samsung Galaxy A33 5G starts from €390/$424, Galaxy A53 5G costs €469/$510, and the Galaxy A73 5G sells for €529/$575. Which one would you pick?

The post Samsung Galaxy A33 vs Galaxy A53 vs Galaxy A73: Specs Comparison appeared first on Gizmochina.

Samsung recently launched the Galaxy S22 series flagship smartphones at the Galaxy Unpacked event last month and now the company is gearing up to launch new A-series smartphones later this month.

The South Korean technology giant has now started sending out media invites for its second major launch event of the year. The event will take place on 17th March at 10:00 AM ET and will be live-streamed.

The event invitation from the brand clearly states that it will be focused on introducing the company’s mid-range Galaxy A-series smartphones but Samsung has not confirmed which devices will get launched at this event.

Reports about the event happening in the second half of this month were making rounds and Evan Blass recently shared leaked images related to this event. If the reports are to be believed, then Samsung could launch three devices — Galaxy A33, A53, and A73.

The Samsung Galaxy A33 is expected to be an updated version of the Galaxy A32 that was launched in February last year while the Galaxy A53 and Galaxy A73 will be the successor of the Galaxy A52 and Galaxy A72 smartphones launched in March 2021.

Based on the leaks, the Samsung Galaxy A73 is expected to have a 6.7-inch display and pack Qualcomm Snapdragon 750G chipset while the Galaxy A53 could have a 6.5-inch display and be powered by the brand’s own Exynos 1200 SoC. To know for sure, we will have to wait for the official launch event in a few days.

The post Samsung confirms March 17th launch event for Galaxy A-series smartphones appeared first on Gizmochina.

Although Samsung’s Galaxy S series has the most marketing promo throughout the year, Samsung’s true bestsellers of the year have always been its budget and mid-range Galaxy A series. Leaks, rumours and electronics safety certifications of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy A33, A53 and A73 devices have been spotted in the wild for the past few weeks, hinting at an imminent launch, and today one leak finally revealed when we will finally see the 2022 Samsung Galaxy A series come to market.

The leak comes from the industry-famous leakster, evleaks on Twitter, sharing a promo poster for upcoming Samsung’s Galaxy A event. It seems that Samsung is planning to debut its latest 2022 Samsung Galaxy A series smartphone lineup on March 17, 2022, which is next Thursday, via Samsung.com. For context, last year’s Samsung Galaxy A52 and A72 were also launched globally on March 17 as well.

The poster does not mention or address any highlights of the 2022 Samsung Galaxy A series directly, but instead through the subtle means of graphic design. From the clipart teasers on the poster, we can deduce that several highlights of the Samsung Galaxy A series include an improved screen and camera from its predecessor, improved low-light photography capabilities and water resistance for the 2022 Galaxy A lineup.

As the highlight of the event this year would be the Samsung Galaxy A33, A53 and A73, Samsung actually decided to quietly launch the entry-level Samsung A series devices, the Samsung Galaxy A13 and A23 last week. Despite being entry-level smartphones, these 2 devices actually have a lot to offer for buyers who aren’t willing to break the bank.

Both the Samsung Galaxy A13 and A23 feature enhanced durability with Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection for the front display(the same one used on the Galaxy Note 9), a long-lasting 5000mAh battery, faster 25W charging support(same as the standard flagship Galaxy S22) compared to last year’s 15W found on the Galaxy A12 and A22, and upgraded cameras. If Samsung’s entry-level devices this year already have this much to offer, it would be interesting to see what the company has to offer in its 2022 mid-range offerings.

The post Samsung A Series 2022 to debut on March 17, as Promo Poster Surfaces Online appeared first on Gizmochina.

Earlier in February, Samsung held the Galaxy Unpacked event at which the company unveiled their flagship Galaxy S22 series along with the Galaxy Tab S8. Now, rumors have emerged that the company plans on holding another event for the launch of its upcoming mid-range devices.

According to tipster TechInsider, Samsung has allegedly scheduled their A-series event aka the Galaxy Awesome Unpacked event for March 2022. The revelation is in line with the usual timeline of Samsung’s mid-range launches over the years.

This year, we expect Samsung to launch their Galaxy A53 5G and the Galaxy A73 5G as the showstoppers. However, the duo might even be joined by the upcoming Galaxy A33 and the Galaxy A23 devices. Currently, there are no finer details available as to when exactly the launch event will take place, but going by recent leaks surrounding many Samsung mid-range devices, we can expect it after the second week of the month.

Samsung Galaxy A53 5G specs (rumored)

So far, the upcoming Galaxy A53 5G is said to have a 6.52-inch FHD+ 120Hz AMOLED display with a maximum refresh rate of 120Hz.

The device will come equipped with an unreleased Samsung midrange SoC dubbed the Exynos 1200. The SoC will have two high-performance cores clocked at 2.4 GHz and six cores with a maximum clock speed of 2.0 GHz. The CPU is supported by the Mali G68 GPU for graphics. The device will come in two RAM variants, 6GB and 8GB. It is also touted to at least have 128GB of internal storage which can be further expanded by up to 1TB with a microSD card.

The device is said to house a 5000mAh battery with 25W charging support. The rear quad-camera setup will likely have a 64MP primary sensor, a 12MP ultrawide lens, a 5MP macro, and a 5MP depth sensor.

Samsung Galaxy A73 5G specs (rumored)

The Galaxy A73 5G leaks state that the device will come with a 6.7-inch FHD+ AMOLED display. It will have a 90Hz screen refresh rate and a higher touch sampling rate. The screen on the phone will be a punch-hole panel and just like the predecessor, we expect it to have an under-display fingerprint scanner.

In terms of optics, the smartphone is expected to have a quad-camera setup with an upgraded 108MP primary lens. The primary lens will have OIS (Optical Image Stabilization) support. It will be accompanied by a 12MP ultra-wide sensor and may have telephoto or auxiliary sensors.

Under the hood, the Samsung Galaxy A73 5G is expected to come powered by a Snapdragon 7XX chipset. It could be the Snapdragon 750G SoC paired with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of onboard storage. Lastly, the phone is expected to pack a big battery with 25W fast charging and run on Android 12 OS.

Samsung Galaxy A33 5G’s launch seems to be soon. The device had previously appeared on the Google Play Console certification, and now, it has emerged on the Geekbench portal. The certification reveals key details of the device taking us closer to the launch.
