Qualcomm announced the Snapdragon 4 Gen 2, a budget smartphone chipset, in June 2023. A month later, MediaTek released the Dimensity 6100+ SoC to cater to the same segment. We already have phones from major brands such as Xiaomi, Vivo, Samsung, and Realme powered by these two chips.

Although both are octa-core chipsets, they share a lot of differentiation. In this post, we’ll see how the Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 stacks up against Dimensity 6100+ to help you pick the right one.

Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 vs Dimensity 6100+: Spec Sheet

SD 4 Gen 2 vs Dimensity 6100+: Benchmarks

[Geekbench 6]

Snapdragon 4 Gen 2:

• Single core: 856
• Multi core: 2053

Dimensity 6100+:

• Single core: 738
• Multi core: 1935

[AnTuTu]

Snapdragon 4 Gen 2:

• CPU: 149471
• GPU: 48241
• Memory: 108765
• UX: 109695
• Total score: 416172

Dimensity 6100+:

• CPU: 137283
• GPU: 61739
• Memory: 103560
• UX: 115593
• Total score: 418175

SD 4 Gen 2 vs Dimensity 6100+: CPU

The Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 has two Cortex-A78 cores running at 2.2 GHz, while the Dimensity 6100+ has a slightly less powerful Cortex-A76 cores with the same clock speed.

Cortex-A78 is a successor to Cortex-A76, bringing improvements to performance and power efficiency. The remaining 6 cores in both chips are Cortex-A55 power-efficient cores.

So, the Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 has better performance and power efficiency than the Dimensity 6100+. Geekbench also favours the Snapdragon chip over the Dimensity one, and the CPU score in the AnTuTu test tells the same story.  

SD 4 Gen 2 vs Dimensity 6100+: GPU

The graphics tasks in Snapdragon 4 Gen 1 are handled by the Adreno 613 GPU, while the Dimensity 6100+ has a Mali-G57 MC2 GPU. Both are mid-range GPUs that should easily handle basic games. But do not expect them to smoothly handle graphics-intensive games such as Genshin Impact and Fortnite.

On benchmarks, the Mali-G57 MC2 (in Dimensity 6100+) performs better than the Areno 613 (in Snapdragon 4 Gen 2). However, the difference is not significant.

SD 4 Gen 2 vs Dimensity 6100+: Memory

Both Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 and Dimensity 6100+ support LPDDR4X memory, but the former also supports LPDDR5 RAM, which is faster and more power efficient than LPDDR4X. 

Not just the memory, but the Snapdragon chip has fast storage, too: UFS 3.1 (vs. UFS 2.2 in Dimensity 6100+).

Fast memory and storage results in smoother performance, faster app loading, improved multitasking, and a better gaming experience. 

SD 4 Gen 2 vs Dimensity 6100+: Camera

Both Snapdragon and MediaTek chipsets support up to a 108-megapixel single-camera sensor. They also support 16-megapixel + 16-megapixel sensors with noise reduction support. The Snapdragon chip also supports a single 32-megapixel camera sensor with multi-frame noise reduction (MFNR) and zero-shutter lag (ZSL).

The Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 can take 1080p videos at 60 frames per second (fps), while the Dimensity 6100+ supports up to 2K videos at 30 fps. The former can also take 720p slow-motion videos at 120 frames per second.

SD 4 Gen 2 vs Dimensity 6100+: Display

The maximum display resolution supported by the Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 is Full HD+ (2520 x 1200 pixels) with a 120Hz refresh rate. MediaTek Dimensity 6100+, on the other hand, supports a maximum display resolution of 2520 x 1080 pixels with a 120Hz refresh rate.

So, both chips support decent screen resolution and a higher refresh rate for smooth scrolling.

SD 4 Gen 2 vs Dimensity 6100+: Connectivity

Both chips feature 3GPP Release 15 5G technology, ensuring better power efficiency, download/upload speeds, and reliable connectivity. They support connectivity features such as 2G / 3G / 4G / 5G, NFC, Wi-Fi 5 (a/b/g/n/ac), and necessary positioning systems (GPS, QZSS, Galileo, Beidou, GLONASS, NavIC).

However, the Dimensity 6100+ is ahead of the Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 in Bluetooth technology. The former chip supports Bluetooth 5.2, while the latter uses a slightly older Bluetooth 5.1 technology. Also, the Dimensity chip has a peak download speed of 3.3 Gbps, which is 2.5 Gbps on the Snapdragon chip.

SD 4 Gen 2 vs Dimensity 6100+: Which is Better?

The Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 chip is built using a 4nm process node, which is more power-efficient than the 6nm process node used for Dimensity 6100+. It also has powerful CPU cores, combined with faster RAM and storage, leads to better performance.

However, the Dimensity 6100+ has a slight GPU advantage over the Snapdragon 4 Gen 2, although the difference is not great. On the connectivity front, it supports newer Bluetooth technology and offers a higher peak download speed than the Snapdragon chip.

If performance is your primary concern, Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 should be a good choice. However, for a better connectivity experience, I would recommend the Dimensity chip over the Snapdragon 4 Gen 2. Make a list of your priorities and choose accordingly.

The post Redmi Note 12R Pro 5G launching on April 29, design & key specs unveiled appeared first on Gizmochina.

Redmi unveiled the Redmi Note 12 5G along with the Redmi Note 12 Pro 5G and Redmi Note 12 Pro+ 5G at the beginning of this year in India. Since launch, the Note 12 has been available in 4 GB and 6 GB RAM variants. Starting today, the 8 GB RAM variant of the device will be available for purchase in the country.

On March 30, Redmi announced the Redmi Note 12 (4G) and Redmi 12C in India. At the same time, it also introduced the 8 GB RAM + 256 GB storage version of the Redmi Note 12 5G. The new variant was expected to go on sale on April 6. While the first sales of the Redmi Note 12 (4G) and Redmi 12C were carried out on the said date, the Note 12 5G’ 8GB+256GB wasn’t made available for purchase.

Starting today, the 8GB+256GB of Note 12 5G will be available for purchase for the first time in India. The new variant is priced at Rs 21,999 (~$267). However, after applying an ICICI Bank discount of Rs 1,500 (~$18), it can be bought for Rs 20,499 (~$249). There are some additional benefits available for existing Xiaomi users who are looking to purchase the new variant. It will be available through Amazon India, Mi.com, Mi Store app, and offline stores.

The Redmi Note 12 5G’s 8GB+256GB variant can be bought in shades like Matte Black, Mystique Blue, and Frosted Green. The existing 4GB+128GB and 6GB+128GB variants of the smartphone are currently priced at Rs 17,999 (~$218) and Rs 19,999 (~$243), respectively.

The Note 12 5G offers key specifications, such as a 6.67-inch FHD+ 120Hz AMOLED display, a Snapdragon 4 Gen 1 chipset, LPDDR4x RAM, and UFS 2.2 storage. It runs on the MIUI 13-based Android 12 OS and packs a 5,000mAh battery with 33W charging. It has a 13-megapixel front camera and a 48-megapixel (main) + 8-megapixel (ultra-wide) + 2-megapixel (macro) triple camera unit on the back.

The post Redmi Note 12 5G’s new 8GB+256GB variant goes on sale for first time today in India; checkout price, offers appeared first on Gizmochina.

Redmi recently unveiled the Redmi Note 12 series in India. The lineup has three models: the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ 5G, the Redmi Note 12 Pro 5G, and the Redmi Note 12 5G. The Xiaomi sub-brand released a lot of phones under the Redmi Note 11 series last year in the country. While it launched the Redmi Note 11 4G, Note 11T 5G, and other models, there was no device named Redmi Note 11 5G in the Indian market. In terms of specs, the Chinese and Indian editions are identical devices. But the Note 12 5G that came out in India is a little different from the one that is available in China. The main difference is that the Chinese variant has a dual-camera setup, whereas the Indian model has a triple camera unit on the back. I have been using the Note 12 5G for nearly 10 days, and here is my review of the device.

Redmi Note 12 5G – What’s in the box?

The Redmi Note 12 5G’s retail package includes these items:

• Redmi Note 12 5G handset
• 33W power adapter
• USB Type-C cable
• Transparent TPU case
• SIM eject tool
• Quick Start Guide

Design and Display

The Frosted Green variant of the Redmi Note 12 5G I received has a matte finish for its polycarbonate back, which I believe may develop scratches later on. Not only the back but also the plastic frame sport the same green color. The camera island has a glossy finish and attracts fingerprint marks. While the design is not bad, it reminds me of Realme phones, and I wish the brand offered a unique design on its next-generation Redmi Note 13 series.  

When it comes to durability, the Redmi Note 12 5G offers IP53 dust and water resistance and Gorilla Glass 3 protection for the display. The top edge of the phone has a microphone, an IR blaster, and a 3.5mm audio jack. On the opposite side are another microphone, a USB-C port, and a speaker grille. The left spine houses a SIM slot, whereas its right edge has a volume rocker and a power key, which is integrated with a fingerprint sensor. The handset measures only 8mm in thickness and weighs 188 grams, which I feel is not that bulky.

One of the strengths of the Redmi Note 12 5G is its display. The 6.67-inch AMOLED display has a punch-hole chin and slim bezels on three sides, except for the bottom one, which is a bit thick. Apart from Dark / Light modes, the Note 12 5G display offers 60Hz – 120Hz refresh rate options, Reading Mode, Sunlight Mode, Always-on Display, and colour scheme. The latter offers three options: Vivid, Saturated, and Standard. Each of these has colour temperature options like Default, Warm, Cool, and Custom. There is Widevine L1 support, but no HDR support on YouTube.

The display produces accurate colors and offers a good viewing experience in general as well as under bright sunlight. Except for YouTube and camera apps, where the refresh rate was reduced to 60Hz, most of the native apps ran in 120Hz mode.

Performance and Software

The Snapdragon 4 Gen 1, a 6nm chipset that comes with support for 5G connectivity, is present under the hood of the Redmi Note 12 5G. The iQOO Z6 Lite, which has a 120Hz LCD panel, is the only other phone that features the same chip. In terms of specs, the SD4G1 is almost identical to the Snapdragon 695, which offers slightly higher clock speeds of up to 2.2GHz. In comparison, the SD4G1 offers processing speeds of up to 2.0GHz. In the 60-minute CPU throttle test, throttling was observed around the 25-minute mark, but the chip gradually gained its performance, as seen in the screenshot below. I tested games like Free Fire Max and Shadow Fight 4 on the device for around an hour, and it became moderately warm. For enhanced gaming, it offers the Game Turbo feature. The phone is equipped with dual graphite sheets for thermal management.

The review unit that I have has 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage. Its 4 GB RAM edition also offers the same storage. The phone packs a 5,000mAh battery that can last for the entire day on a full charge. It took around 70 minutes to charge it completely using the 33W in-box charger. While the device allowed me to run AnTuTu, Geekbench, and CPU Throttle tests, it did not connect to the servers of 3D Mark and GFXBench benchmarking apps.

The Redmi Note 12 5G runs on the Android 12 OS with the MIUI 13 skin on top. In my opinion, Redmi should have offered Android 13 OS on the device. The handset is promised to receive two years of OS upgrades and four years of security updates. Apart from native and Google apps, the device comes preloaded with apps like Amazon, Prime Video, Netflix, LinkedIn, Bubble Shooting Relaxing, Zili, and a few more. The good news is that all these additional apps can be uninstalled.

Photography and Other Features

The Redmi Note 12 5G can capture good shots with natural colors in daylight through its main and ultra-wide cameras. The camera interface offers photography modes, such as Pro, Documents, Video, Photo, Portrait, Night, and More. It took me time to find the macro mode, which is not available in the “More” section or in the Pro mode. The More section has other options like 48MP mode, Short Video, Panorama, Slow Motion, Time-lapse, and AI Watermark. The macro mode is available through the hamburger icon in the Photo mode. It can only capture passable macro shots when there is a lot of light.  

The portrait mode adds a decent amount of blur to the background of shots captured via the main camera on the back and the selfie camera. The front camera offers options like beauty modes, filters, and HDR. The performance of the Redmi Note 12 5G suffers in indoor and low-light conditions. The indoor shots are okay if there is enough light.

The Redmi Note 12 5G supports up to 30fps Full HD video recording through the main and ultrawide cameras. It supports HD quality slow-motion videos at 120fps. To sum up, the Note 12’s camera capabilities are good enough for uploading content on social media platforms like Instagram and Snapchat. Lastly, I think Redmi should modify the camera and clock app icons. While I am not sure about others, I frequently ended up opening the clock app instead of the camera app a couple of times!

The Redmi Note 12 5G has a single bottom-firing speaker. The Note 11 offered a dual speaker system. So, I was expecting the same on the successor model. The audio features available on the device include a 3.5mm audio jack, Smart PA, and High-Res Audio. The biometric recognition features, such as face unlock and a side-facing fingerprint scanner, work fine. It offers other sensors, such as an ambient light sensor, a proximity sensor, an e-compass, an accelerometer, and a gyroscope. When it comes to 5G connectivity, I achieved up to 940 Mbps download speeds on Jio 5G outdoors. Indoors, it peaked at 880 Mbps.

Verdict

To recall, the Redmi Note 11 4G was available for Rs 13,499 (~$166) at launch. The main things that set the new model apart from its predecessor are its impressive 120Hz AMOLED display, a new chipset, and 5G connectivity. The battery performance of the device is also good. The camera performs fine when there is good light. It would be good if there was some software to enhance the low-light photography.

The 4 GB RAM + 128 GB storage variant of the Redmi Note 12 5G costs Rs 17,999 (~$221), while the 6 GB RAM + 128 GB storage variant costs Rs 19,999 (~$246). However, readers should note that the Redmi Note 12 5G is the only phone in its price segment to offer a 120Hz AMOLED screen and 5G for Rs 17,999. Hence, there are not many competitors for the Note 12 5G, except for the Snapdragon 695-powered POCO X4 Pro 5G, which currently costs Rs 17,999 for the 6GB +128GB storage edition.  

All in all, the Redmi Note 12 5G is a good package and a terrific deal if buyers avail it for as low as Rs 15,499 (~$191) with ongoing offers.

It is available for purchase across Mi.com, Amazon.in, Mi Home, Mi Studio, and Mi Preferred partners. Customers can either opt for exchange offers or use an ICICI credit card / credit card EMI / net banking to get an extra discount of Rs 1,500 (~$18). With the offer, both variants of the Note 12 can be bought for Rs 16,499 (~$203) and Rs 18,499 (~$228), respectively. Existing Xiaomi/ Mi and Redmi smartphone users can get the Note 12 for Rs 15,499 (~$191) and Rs 17,499 (~$215) by availing extra Rs 1000 off on exchange.

The POCO X5 has appeared with a 22111317PG model number in NBTC’s database. None of the certifications of the X5 has revealed any concrete information on its specifications. However, the model number of the device suggests that it could be a rebranded or tweaked version of the Redmi Note 12 5G available in the Chinese market.

The Redmi Note 12 5G has a 6.67-inch AMOLED display with a punch-hole design. It has a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels and a refresh rate of 120Hz. For security, it has a side-facing fingerprint scanner. It comes preloaded with Android 12 and MIUI 13.

Sony is expected to launch as many as six smartphones in 2023, according to a Reddit user. All of them will be equipped with Snapdragon chipsets. Before reading on, people should take the leak with a grain of salt because its source could not be confirmed.

The Xperia Pro-I, powered by the Snapdragon 888 was released in 2021.
