The hands-on video shows the rear appearance for a split-second at the start. The ‘Dare to Leap’ branding and a squarish camera island followed by an LED flash can be seen on the backside of the device. During the recently held camera innovation event, Realme had revealed the rear design of the Realme 8 Pro. It had also confirmed that the handset flaunts a Samsung ISOCELL HM2 108-megapixel main camera.

The Realme 8 Pro features a hole-punch-hole display with a slightly thick chin. However, the hands-on video also reveals that the smartphone’s screen embedded with a fingerprint scanner, which suggests that it houses an AMOLED panel. It takes only a second to unlock the Realme 8 Pro using the in-screen fingerprint scanner. It will be the first number series phone from the brand to feature an under-screen biometric recognition feature.

Realme is yet to reveal the specifications of the Realme 8 Pro. Rumors have it that the device could be equipped with Snapdragon 730G chipset. The handset is likely to arrive in variants such as 6 GB RAM + 128 GB storage and 8 GB RAM + 128 GB storage.

Rumors are rife that the upcoming Realme 8 series of smartphones will include two phones such as the Realme 8 and Realme 8 Pro. A fresh leak by tipster Himanshu has revealed the variants and color options of the Realme 8 duo.

According to the tipster, the Realme 8 will be available in two variants such as 4 GB RAM + 128 GB storage and 8 GB RAM + 128 GB storage. It will be coming in colors like Cyber Silver and Cyber Black.

The tipster added that Realme may soon confirm the Realme 8 series launch date. He is of the view that the Realme 8 and 8 Pro will break cover by the end of March. He added that these phones will not be available in the 5G version.

Realme 8 and Realme 8 Pro specifications (Rumored)

Contradictory information reveals that the Realme 8 could be equipped with the Snapdragon 720G chipset. The same leak claims that the Realme 8 Pro could be featuring the Snapdragon 730G SoC.

Realme officially started teasing the Realme 8 series with the teaser released yesterday confirming that the realme 8 Pro will pack a 108MP Samsung ISOCELL HM2 sensor. A new leak has now emerged suggesting that the model will be powered by Qualcomm processors.

The leak also shows that the realme 8 4G will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G chipset. On the other hand, the 8 Pro will pack a Snapdragon 730G processor.

if this turns out to be true, then the realme 8 will feature a significant change in the chipset from its predecessor. To recall, the Realme 7 came with a MediaTek Helio G95 chipset while the 7 Pro is powered by Snapdragon 720G. The realme 7 5G utilizes a Dimensity 800U processor. There is no word yet on the chipset onboard the 5G version. However, Realme recently launched the V15 5G in China with a Dimensity 800U chipset. The Realme 8 5G may therefore use the same processor. The decision to use older processors on the models may not be unconnected to the chip shortage that is bedeviling the industry presently.

We are yet to get any information about the launch date for the realme 8 series but we expect the company to reveal a date soon.

Update: Added the new Redmi Note 9 series to the post as well as new details of the Snapdragon 720G (benchmark results) that actually change the conclusion.

Mobile games have become demanding when it comes to CPU and GPU requirements. Games such as PUBG, Call of Duty Mobile, and Fortnite all require much more compared to games such as Candy Crush. Chipmakers seeing this need for extra processing power have made specially-designed chipsets to handle these games.

For Qualcomm, its gaming chipsets have a “G” at the end of their names which denotes the chipset has select Snapdragon Elite Gaming features and graphical boost compared to the standard processors. Two of its chipsets that fall into this category are the Snapdragon 730G announced in April 2019 and the more recent Snapdragon 720G.

The Snapdragon 730G powers quite a number of phones already such as the Samsung Galaxy A80 and the POCO X2. The Snapdragon 720G, on the other hand, is the chipset inside the Realme 6 Pro, the Redmi Note 9 Pro, and the Redmi Note 9 Pro Max (yes, that is a mouthful). So how do these two chipsets compare to one another? Let’s find out below.

The above is a table comparing the key specs of the two processors. However, there is more to it.

CPU: Both chipsets are built on the same node and feature the same processor cores. The Snapdragon 720G has a higher clockspeed but from the name of its performance core, it should not be as powerful as the Kryo 470 in the Snapdragon 730G, right? Wrong. An AnTuTu benchmark result shows the Snapdragon 720G is actually better in terms of performance than the Snapdragon 730G.

In the image above, the Snapdragon 720G scores a total of 103012 points compared to the Snapdragon 730G’s 96,779 points with respect to CPU performance. For Geekbench, the Snapdragon 720G scores higher in the single-core performance but scores just a tiny bit lower than the Snapdragon 730G in multi-core performance.

GPU: The two processors have the same GPU but the Snapdragon 730G should be better because Qualcomm says it has a 15% boost compared to the Snapdragon 730’s own GPU which is also the Adreno 618. Wrong again. While Qualcomm has refused to mention the clock speed of the GPU in all three SoCs, the AnTuTu benchmark result above shows that the Snapdragon 720G’s GPU actually scores slightly higher than that of the Snapdragon 730G. Does this mean it is clocked higher? That is very likely.

DSP: The DSP for the Snapdragon 720G is higher and it comes with the new Qualcomm Sensing Hub that is present in the Snapdragon 865. This is an improvement over the Always-Aware Hub of the Snapdragon 730G.

The Snapdragon 730G supports displays with a maximum resolution of QHD+ compared to the Snapdragon 720G that maxes out at FHD+. However, that is not a big deal as a phone with a QHD+ screen will surely not have a Snapdragon 700 series processor.

Also, the Snapdragon 730G also supports 4K HDR10, unlike the Snapdragon 720G that supports just HDR10.

Others: The Snapdragon 720G wins in other areas too. It has Bluetooth 5.1, unlike the Snapdragon 730G that has Bluetooth 5.0. It also has NavIC support which is India’s own satellite location system. Slightly surprising is that it only supports Quick Charge 4.0 while the Snapdragon 730G supports Quick Charge 4+.

Conclusion

The Snapdragon 720G is definitely the more powerful chipset with its better CPU and GPU. However, the Snapdragon 730G is close on its heels. In everyday usage, most people will not notice the difference between the two processors.

When it comes to choosing a phone powered by either of these chipsets, what will actually determine what you buy will be other parameters such as price, cameras, software support, battery capacity, and even design. However, performance will not be a huge difference.

The arrival of the first POCO phone is drawing near as the company has took to Twitter to confirm that it will be launching its next phone in February.

POCO is yet to reveal the name of the POCO phone that will be coming to India in the coming month. However, now that the rumor mill is actively spilling information on the POCO X2, it is likely to be the first phone of 2020 from the POCO brand.

On the basis of recent leaks, it can be said that the POCO X2 could be a rebranded Redmi K30 4G that had gone official in China in December 2019. A leaked photo of the phone that appeared on a Polish site revealed that it has a dual punch-hole display.

The smartphone is said to be fueled by Snapdragon 730G processor and 8 GB of RAM. The device could be coming with an internal storage of 256 GB. The Android 10 OS will come onboard with a modified version of MIUI for POCO.

The Polish site had reported that it could not confirm whether the POCO X2 has NFC support. The Redmi K30 4G has a 120Hz refresh rate display. The publication claimed that it could not find a toggle to change the refresh rate of the screen 120Hz. Hence, there is possibility that the POCO X2 may not support 120Hz refresh rate. However, it is advisable to know more on it since the phone was not running on the final build of OS. The other details of the phone are currently under the wraps. At present, there is no information on the pricing of the POCO X2. However, it should be costing well below the Rs. 20,9999 which was the starting price of POCO F1.

For those who are waiting for POCO F2, the company has confirmed that it won’t be the first phone of the year. Considering that competitor iQOO brand is soon launching an iQOO phone driven by Snapdragon 865, it is likely that the POCO F2 could be equipped with the same SoC.

Also, the Polish site has revealed some screenshots taken from the device through which its key specifications have been revealed. The fresh leak indicates that Redmi K30 4G that had gone official in China last month will be probably arriving in India as POCO X2.

The real-life image of the purported POCO X2 shows that there is a pill-shaped camera cutout on the display for its dual front-facing cameras. The Redmi K30 4G for China has the same display design. Moreover, the image reveals the POCO X2 name on its About Phone page.

The Redmi K30 series has some pretty big shoes to fill this year. Redmi K20 and the K20 Pro offered extremely good value for its price and even made it to our Best Mid-Range and Best Flagship Killer Smartphones of 2019 lists. And in most ways, the Redmi K30 upholds the reputation of its predecessor, bringing in powerful specifications at an extremely affordable price tag. Unlike the OPPO Reno3 series and the Vivo X30 series that doesn’t feature a 4G variant, the Redmi K30 comes with a 5G as well as a 4G model. But is that the only difference between the two models? That’s what we check in this Redmi K30 vs Redmi K30 5G comparison.

Redmi K30 vs Redmi K30 5G: Design

The Redmi K30 duo share the exact same design with the exact same dimensions: 165.3 x 76.6 x 8.8 mm and weight: 208 grams too! The only minute difference between the two models is the 5G logo on the back of the K30 5G model.

Both the models come in a gradient back in Blue, Red, and Purple color options. There’s a single pill-shaped vertical camera strip on the top half of the device featuring four sensors. At the lower half of the back, you’ll find the Redmi logo. The front of the device is a lot more interesting. Both the 4G & 5G models feature dual punch-hole cameras on the top right corner. It’s actually two separate cameras joined together with a black background. While the K30 isn’t the first Xiaomi smartphone to feature dual front-facing shooters, it’s the first Mi / Redmi device to feature a punch-hole camera setup.

Note that both the devices feature a dedicated 3.5mm headphone jack.

Redmi K30 vs Redmi K30 5G: Specifications

While the design of the Redmi K30 duo was identical, they differ slightly in terms of specifications. The Redmi K30 comes with the good old Snapdragon 730G octa-core processor from Qualcomm, while the Redmi K30 5G features the Snapdragon 765G chip. It is Qualcomm’s first 5G-integrated SoC in the market and the K30 5G was the first phone to feature it. The K30 5G features both SA and NSA 5G networks and supports a maximum download speed of up to 3.7Gbps. So in terms of network speeds, the K30 5G model is way ahead of its 4G variant.

Other specs, including the camera setup on both the models are identical. The two models start off at 6GB RAM + 64GB storage and take it all the way up to 8GB RAM and 256GB of internal storage. Note that they feature a hybrid MicroSD card slot (SIM2). One of the highlights of the Redmi K30 duo is its screen. Despite being a 6.67-inch 1080 x 2400 pixels IPS LCD panel, the two models ensure you get a good viewing experience with the help of HDR10 support and a high 120Hz screen refresh rate. It is also the first Xiaomi smartphone to feature such a high refresh rate.

The quad-camera setup on both the models feature a 64MP f/1.9 primary shooter paired with an 8MP f/2.2 ultrawide sensor, a 2MP f/2.4 macro camera, and a 2MP f/2.4 depth sensor. Up front, the dual punch-hole camera setup houses 20MP primary selfie shooter with a 2MP depth sensor. One big change as compared to the older Redmi K20 series is the presence of a physical fingerprint sensor. The company decided to use a less-traditional side-mounted fingerprint sensor on the K30 duo instead of an in-display fingerprint shooter. Well, the presence of an IPS LCD display was a giveaway that it couldn’t have an in-display sensor, but hopefully, by 2020, this in-screen fingerprint tech won’t just be exclusive to AMOLEDs.

While the battery capacity on both the models are identical: 4500mAh, the K30 maxes out at 27W fast charging while the K30 5G gets a slightly faster 30W charging technology.

Redmi K30 vs Redmi K30 5G: Pricing

The pricing of both models are as follows:

Redmi K30 4G

• 6 GB RAM + 64 GB storage – 1,599 Yuan (~$227)
• 6 GB RAM + 64 GB storage – 1,699 Yuan (~$241)
• 8 GB RAM + 128 GB storage – 1,899 Yuan (~$270)
• 8 GB RAM + 256 GB storage – 2,199 Yuan (~$312)
• Color variants: Amethyst Fantasy, Deep Water Blue and Shimmering Purple

Redmi K30 5G

• 6 GB RAM + 64 GB storage- 1,999 Yuan (~$284)
• 6 GB RAM + 128 GB storage – 2,299 Yuan (~$326)
• 8 GB RAM + 128 GB storage – 2,599 Yuan (~$369)
• 8 GB RAM + 256 GB storage – 2,899 Yuan (~$412)
• Color variants: Time Monologue, Purple Jade Fantasy, Deep Sea Glow and Flower Shadow

In terms of specifications, the K30 and the K30 5G models are very similar. They even have the exact same camera setup unlike the Vivo X30 duo (Pro model had an additional periscope camera).

Personally, the Redmi K30 4G makes for an excellent purchase in a non-5G dominated market. And even if you need 5G, you just have to shell out around $60 more to enjoy extremely fast Gbps speeds on your smartphone. No wonder the K30 5G is the cheapest 5G smartphone in the world right now!

The Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro that has a 108-megapixel penta-lens camera setup was recently made outside of China as Xiaomi Mi Note 10. According to a new report on 91mobiles, the Chinese manufacturer is planning to launch the Mi Note 10 in India. The Xiaomi Mi 5 flagship phone that was unveiled in India in 2016 had received lukewarm reception. Since then it hasn’t launched a high-end or flagship Mi series phone in India. Beginning from 2017, the Chinese firm has been launching Android One based Mi series phones in India each year. The Mi Note 10 is expected to rival with the likes of Realme X2 Pro and OnePlus 7 in its price segment.

The source that revealed the arrival of Mi Note 10 to India has claimed that the top executives of the Chinese firm is think about the right time to bring it to the country. The Mi Note 10 was previously planned to break cover in India alongside the Xiaomi Mi MIX Alpha concept phone in December. The plan has been reportedly dropped.

It remains to be seen when Xiaomi will bring the Mi Note 10 in India. As far as the Mi MIX Alpha is concerned, it is expected to arrive in limited quantities. The Mi Note 10 is a flagship-grade phone and the only thing that people may not like about it is that it does not feature a flagship chipset, but the Snapdragon 730G SoC. Since Xiaomi is leading the Indian smartphone market, it is likely that the Mi Note 10 will be met with positive reception in the country.

Recently, a Xiaomi phone with model numbers M1912G7GBE/C was certified by the 3C authority of China. A leakster had claimed that it is an upgraded version of the Redmi Note 8 Pro featuring the Snapdragon 730G chipset. Redmi General Manager Lu Weibing has debunked the rumors by giving a negative response on its existence.

As it can be seen in the below shown screenshot, a Weibo user asked whether an advanced version of the Redmi Note 8 Pro featuring Snapdragon 730G, 27W fast charging and in-display fingerprint reader exist. Lu Weibing replied by saying no.

So, the identity of the M1912G7GBE/C remains a mystery. It seems to be a high-end phone since the 3C certification revealed that it could be shipped with a 27W fast charger. In addition, there is another upcoming 5G phone that has a model number of M1911U2E. The device has only bagged approval from the National Radio Authority in China through which it was confirmed that it is a 5G device. It is yet to receive 3C certification. Since it is a 5G phone, it is being speculated that it could be the upcoming Redmi K30 5G phone. However, it is advisable to wait for newer reports before confirming on it.

The US based chip maker is reportedly working on SM7250 that is believed to be the Snapdragon 735 5G SoC and Snapdragon 865 flagship chipset.

MediaTek is expected to unveil both at its upcoming Nov. 26 event whereas the SD865 is expected to go official at the Snapdragon Tech Summit at the beginning of the coming month. The Redmi K30 and K30 Pro smartphones are expected to feature any of these chipsets. The lineup is expected to support dual-mode 5G and come with a pill-shaped display with two front-facing cameras.
