The renders of the G Stylus 2021 that appeared at Amazon revealed that it is equipped with a rectangle-shaped camera module. And, reliable tipster Evan Blass had claimed that it is equipped with a 48-megpaixel main camera, an 8-megapixel ultrawide lens, a 2-megapixel depth sensor, and a 2-megapixel macro lens. However, the new renders show that the phone has a square-shaped camera housing. Also, the tipster has claimed that instead of a 2-megapixel, it has a 5-megapixel macro lens.

The leak reiterates that it has a front camera of 16-megapixel. Blass claimed that the phone has a side-facing fingerprint reader, but the new leak by Hemmerstoffer states that it has a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor. As can be seen in the renders, the bottom edge of the device has a dedicated shaft for storing the stylus. Past reports have suggested that it could be fueled by the Snapdragon 675 chipset.

Vivo recently unveiled the Vivo V20 in countries like India and other Southeast Asian markets. However, it could get a sibling soon as a device with V20 2021 moniker appears on certification platforms and now Geekbench.

As 91mobile reports, a Vivo smartphone carrying model number V2040 appears on Geekbench benchmarking platform. The device scores 553 and 1765 single and multi-core scores respectively. Interestingly, the motherboard of the device in testing is ‘sm6150’ and is an Octa-Core processor with 1.8GHz frequency.

For the unaware, the port number of Snapdragon 675 SoC is ‘sm6150’. This suggests that the device is equipped with a chipset that launched two years ago. Anyway, the device in testing also runs Android 11 and has 8GB of RAM. While the Geekbench listing doesn’t shed any light on What could the device be, Indonesia’s SDPPI reveals the moniker.

Accordingly, the model number V2040 on SDPPI(Indonesia Telecom Certification) reveals that the device is “Vivo V20 2021“. Also, it has already got India’s BIS certification hinting that the device is coming to more than one market.

That said, nothing else is known about the device yet. However, considering it has a similar name to the Vivo V20, we can expect a few similarities in design, if not specs. And looking at the two-year-old Snapdragon 675, we feel that the device might be a watered-down variant of the already-selling V20.

The Vivo V20, which was the first device to get Android 11 pre-installed, came with a very slim body, triple cameras, and a display with water-drop notch. Hence, we can expect Vivo to retain it on the V20 2021. Additionally, the Android 11 listing suggests that the device might debut with Vivo’s recently launched OriginOS.

And since we are already at the end of 2020, Vivo should bring it somewhere in Q1 of next year. In any case, we are sure to get more leaks as the launch gets closer.

HMD Global has announced a couple of phones this year such as the Nokia 8.3 which is its first 5G phone and other 4G phones such as the Nokia 5.3 and Nokia 1.3 and the resurrected Nokia 5310. A rumor going round has revealed key details about a new phone said to be the Nokia 6.3.

A report by MySmartPrice says the Nokia 6.3 is coming, and the info comes along with some key specifications.

The upcoming mid-range phone is said to have a Snapdragon 670 or Snapdragon 675 processor inside it. The two processors may not be the chipsets folks are expecting to grace a 2020 phone but they are pretty good choices for the device seeing as its predecessor has a Snapdragon 636 processor. Based on this info, we presume the upcoming Nokia 7.3 will come with a Snapdragon 720G chipset.

The source also reports that the Nokia 6.3 will have four rear cameras with Zeiss lens. Sadly, there is no info on the camera configuration. However, the front camera is said to be a 16MP sensor.

With respect to design, the Nokia 6.3 may come with a waterdrop notch HMD Global like its predecessor and should have a PixelWorks display chip for upscaling SDR to HDR.

The launch is set at Q3 which is still months away but the pandemic may cause the date to be adjusted.

For this edition of Chip Battle, we are pitting Samsung’s Exynos 7904 chipset against Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 675 processor. Both chipsets are found in mid-range phones, though the former is limited to just Samsung phones while Qualcomm‘s chipset appears in phones from various brands. Let’s dive in and see how which chipset comes out on top.

Node

The Exynos 7904 is a 14nm processor while the Snapdragon 675 is an 11nm processor. A smaller node size means the processor is more power-efficient; and in this case, the Snapdragon 675 is the one with the smaller node size.

CPU

Samsung’s processor has eight cores in a 2+6 configuration. There are two Cortex-A73 performance cores clocked at 1.8GHz while the other six cores are Cortex-A53 cores clocked at 1.6GHz.

The Snapdragon 675 has eight custom Kryo 460 cores which are actually two performance cores that are based on the Cortex-A76 and clocked at 2.0GHz and six power-saving efficiency cores based on the Cortex-A55 clocked at 1.6GHz.

It is easy to see which chipset is more powerful. The Cortex-A76 cores are the successors to the A73 and so is the relationship between the Cortex-A55 and Cortex-A53. Not only are the cores of the Snapdragon 675 more powerful, but they are also clocked at higher speeds. The benchmark results below also confirm the Snapdragon 675 easily beats the Exynos 7904.

GPU

There is an Adreno 612 GPU in the Snapdragon 675 while the Exynos 7904 has Arm’s Mali-G71 MP2 GPU. Benchmark results have shown the Adreno 612 is a more powerful GPU than the Mali G71 MP2, so this is another win for the Snapdragon 675.

Connectivity

The Exynos 7904 has an LTE Cat. 12 modem with speeds up to 600Mbps for downloads and 150Mbps for uploads. It also has support for dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0. The Snapdragon X12 LTE modem inside the Snapdragon 675 offers the same downlink and uplink speeds too. It also has Bluetooth 5.0 and support for dual-band Wi-Fi.

Conclusion

The Snapdragon 675 is easily the winner here. It packs a better CPU as well as GPU compared to the Exynos 7904. It is also more efficient as a result of its smaller node size.

The Motorola One Zoom is a mid-range smartphone with the camera specifications of a flagship. Apart from an OIS enabled 48-megapixel lens, a 16-megapixel ultrawide sensor and a 5-megapixel depth sensor, the One Zoom flaunts an OIS assisted 8-megapixel telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom. The smartphone records videos at 4K resolution, which can be viewed on the large 6.39-inch AMOLED display. The waterdrop notch on the display of the One Zoom features a 25-megapixel selfie camera. The Snapdragon 675 chipset powered One Zoom’s camera was recently tested by the good folks at DxOMark, following a strict protocol, and the results were not that impressive.

Motorola One Zoom DxOMark Score

With an average DxOMark camera score of 87, the Motorola One Zoom fares better than most other smartphones from the company, including the Moto G7 Plus and the Moto Z2 Force which have average scores of 80 and 82 respectively. Despite the seemingly high scores, all three smartphones are yet to catch up with the market leaders.

However, the One Zoom performs inherently better and is comparable to older Apple and Samsung devices like the iPhone 7 Plus and the Galaxy A50, which have average scores of 88 and 86 respectively. In terms of still photography, the Motorola One Zoom manages to score 92 points. Although it is not close to the benchmark, it offers significant improvement over the Moto G7 Plus.

Motorola One Zoom Camera Performance

With the addition of the telephoto lens, the quad-camera setup inherits better optical zoom, slightly better wide-angle shots, exposure, and bokeh. When shooting in well-lit conditions, the exposure seems balanced, while the details are acceptable in both indoor and outdoor locations. However, the images suffer from a significant amount of overshaping on the edges, especially when cropped. Noise levels are also on the higher side compared to other devices in the budget.

The story quickly takes a turn for the worse as we venture into low-light imaging. Exposure immediately takes a hit with limited dynamic range, resulting in an increase of shadow clipping. Backlit wide-angle shots also tend to be underexposed. There is significant scope for improvement in the color department. While white balance is generally not an issue, a slight yellow overshadow is prominent. Motorola has done a great job of color control, although color rendering could have been better. As a result, skin tones often look unnatural in low light images.

Autofocus is inconsistent, and this is evident from the photographs. While the camera is capable of capturing sharp images, a 500ms delay between focus and the final shot is a bit disappointing. Wide-angle shots are acceptable but suffer from underexposure, low detail and color quantization. While the exposure is decent in optimal lighting conditions, the lack of dynamic range with the flash turned off is a serious issue plaguing low-light imaging. The story is consistent with zoom shots. While details are higher in bright conditions, autofocus inconsistencies crop up as the light fades.

Background blur adds a nice touch in portrait mode, although, errors are prominent in the more complex areas. Depth estimation is decent, while artifacts are well-controlled with the primary issue being reduced sharpness and ringing towards the corners. Motorola worked on improving the video quality in terms of autofocus, exposure, and stabilization. While improvements are noticeable in handheld videos when the camera is stable, frameshifts begin to creep up when walking. Noise levels are well-contained when filming indoors, but the details suffer from over-sharpening.

The quad-camera setup with a telephoto lens works in favor of the Motorola One Zoom, as the smartphone offers an attractive proposition for the budget-conscious audience. Well-balanced exposure, decent autofocus, and background blur in portrait mode work in favor of the device. However, serious improvements are required in dynamic range, ultra-wide shots, and color rendering if Motorola plans to take on the leaders with its future lineup.

The base prices of Rs. 29,990 (~$423) does not help its cause. Xiaomi is offering the Snapdragon 855 mobile platform powered  Redmi K20 Pro flagship phone for Rs. 27,999 (~$395).

UP NEXT: Samsung Galaxy A90 Geekbench listing appear; Could it be featuring SD730 / SD730G?

The post Samsung Galaxy M40 full specifications leaked ahead of launch appeared first on Gizmochina.

In the past few months, Samsung has expanded its Galaxy A series of smartphone by launching multiple smartphones such as Galaxy A10, A20, A30, A40, A50, A60, A70 and A80. The Galaxy A10 is the weakest among them whereas the Galaxy Aa80 is the most powerful A-series phone so far since it is powered by Snapdragon 730. It is believed the Galaxy A90 will be arriving with better specs than the A80 phone. It appears that the arrival of the Galaxy A90 could be drawing near since it has been spotted on Geekbench benchmarking platform.

The legitimacy of the Geekbench listing of SM-A9050 is doubted since it is fueled by Snapdragon 675. Considering the fact that the Galaxy A80 is powered by Snapdragon 730, the A90 could be featuring a better chipset. The SoC of the A90 is assisted by 6 GB of RAM. In the single-core test of Geekbench, it has scored 2,504 and it has recorded 6,768 score in multi-core test.

The SD675 powered phones that are benchmarked on Geekbench have usually scored 23XX or lower in single-core test. Also, the SD675 multi-core tests scores haven’t crossed 67XX so far. It is interesting to note that the SD730 processor of the Galaxy A80 was misread as SD75 on Geekbench before the smartphone had gone official. Hence, there is a possibility that the Galaxy A90 could either be featuring the SD730 or SD730G, the latter being a gaming-focused chipset.

Rumors surrounding the phone have revealed that it could Samsung’s first smartphone to arrive with a pop-up selfie camera. On other details of the phone are available yet. It could be arriving as the successor of the Galaxy A9 (2018) smartphone. Hence, the Galaxy A90 may come equipped with a quad camera setup like the A9 (2018).

The back features a similar design as the 16S, however, there’s an additional third wide-angle camera on board. This makes it the first Meizu smartphone with three cameras at the back! There are four official color options available, Jade White, Black, and two special colors, Coral Orange, inspired by the Living Coral color, which was selected as Pantone’s Color of the Year 2019, and Atlantis Blue.

Coming to the hardware, the Meizu 16XS comes with the mid-range Snapdragon 675 processor clocked at 2.0GHz. There will be 6GB of LPDDR4X RAM on board with 64GB / 128GB storage options, just like last year’s Meizu 16X.

The 16XS also gets the new FlyMe 7.3 based on Android Pie, which will be the last major version in the 7 series. Meizu will reveal more details about the new FlyMe 8 in the coming months.

The Meizu 16Xs doesn’t launch until tomorrow but a new leak has revealed all there is to know about the specs of Meizu‘s upcoming mid-range device.

First reported by DealnTech, the Meizu 16Xs will have a 6.2-inch AMOLED display. It has a 2232 x 1080 resolution, an 18.6:9 aspect ratio, and a screen-to-body ration of 90.29%. Just like its predecessor, it will also have an in-display fingerprint scanner which uses Meizu’s Super mTouch technology and unlocks in just 0.2s. It also has support for AliPay and WeChat payment.

There have been speculations about the chipset powering the Meizu 16Xs. Its predecessor is powered by the Snapdragon 710 but Meizu is going with the Snapdragon 675 this year. The SoC is paired with 6GB of RAM and 64GB or 128GB of storage.

The Meizu 16Xs will be the first triple camera phone from the Chinese phone maker. The primary sensor is a 48MP f/1.7 camera with 6P custom lens. It is paired with 5MP f/1.9 and 8MP f/2.2 cameras. One of the secondary cameras is a 118.8° Super Wide angle camera for taking ultra-wide-angle photos. Other listed camera modes are Portrait mode and Super Night Scene mode.

The Meizu 16Xs will not have a notch nor a pop-up selfie camera like a lot of its competitors. Instead, it will fit a 16MP f/2.2 camera in a pretty slim bezel. The camera has a 5P custom lens, HDR+, an AI beauty mode, portrait mode, and support for face unlock.

Under the plastic body of the Meizu 16Xs is a 4000mAh battery. Meizu has been able to keep the weight of the phone at 165 grams, making it lighter than a lot of its rivals. The phone measures 152 x 74.4 x 8.3 millimeters and will come in three color variants – Knight Black, Atlantis, Coral Orange, and Ice Silk White.

A render of the orange variant surfaced on the web today. Seeing as the phone is supposed to be covered in plastic, the material appears to be glass.

Sadly, the leak doesn’t include the price for the new phone. But with the launch less than 24 hours away, that isn’t a long wait.
