However, the Adreno 642 (in Snapdragon 778G 5G) has a slight edge over the Mali-G68 MP5 (in Exynos 1380) on GPU benchmarks, such as 3D Mark WildLife Extreme.

The Snapdragon 778G 5G also has an AI advantage as the Hexagon 770 inside the chip can perform 12 trillion operations per second (TOPS), while the NPU in Exynos 1380 has 4.9 TOPS capacity.

Camera Capabilities

Both Exynos and Snapdragon chips have a triple image signal processor (ISP). It’s the Spectra 570L on the Snapdragon chip, but Samsung hasn’t revealed the name of the ISP.

Both chips support up to 200-megapixel single camera and up to 64-megapixel single camera with zero shutter lag. The Snapdragon chip also supports zero shutter lag for 36-megapixel + 22-megapixel dual cameras and 22-megapixel + 22-megapixel + 22-megapixel triple cameras.

The chipsets support up to 4K video recording at 30 frames per second (fps). The Snapdragon chip also supports 720p slow-mo videos at 240 fps.

Connectivity Features

Both Exynos 1380 and Snapdragon 778G 5G chips have all the necessary connectivity features like 5G, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth (5.3 on Exynos, 5.2 on Snapdragon) and satellite systems (GLONASS, Beidou, GPS, QZSS, Galileo). 

The Exynos chip has an integrated 5G modem, offering up to 3.79 Gbps of download speed and up to 1.28 Gbps of upload speed. The Qualcomm 778G 5G, on the other hand, has a Snapdragon X53 5G modem with 3.7 Gbps maximum download speed and 1.6 Gbps maximum upload speed.

Miscellaneous

Both Snapdragon 778G 5G and Exynos 1380 support Full HD+ resolution display with up to 144Hz refresh rate. They don’t differ in terms of display capabilities.

Both chips also support UFS 3.1 storage and LPDDR5 RAM, although the Snapdragon chip supports higher RAM of 16GB RAM (vs. 8GB on Exynos 1380).

Exynos 1380 vs Snapdragon 778G 5G: Which is Better?

Snapdragon 778G 5G and Exynos 1380 are good mid-range chipsets. Both have similar CPU performance. However, the Snapdragon chip has a slight GPU advantage, resulting in better gaming performance. It also has a better NPU with higher TOPS than Exynos 1380.

Exynos 1380’s advantages include a newer Bluetooth standard and an advanced fabrication process that results in better power efficiency.

Choosing one of these two chipsets really comes down to your needs. But If I had to pick one, I’d go with the Snapdragon 778G 5G.

Other Popular Chip Comparisons:
1. Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 vs 8 Gen 2
2. Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 vs Dimensity 6100+
3. Dimensity 7300 vs Snapdragon 888

Vivo is reportedly working on the S17 series of smartphones for the Chinese market. Reports have claimed that the S17 lineup will take on the Honor 90 series and Oppo Reno 10 series of smartphones in the home market. These Vivo, Honor, and Oppo are expected to launch in May and be available for purchase during China’s 618 shopping festival in June. Hence, the rumor mill has started leaking key information about these smartphones. In a new Weibo post (via. TechGoing), tipster Digital Chat Station revealed the key specifications of the Vivo S17 and S17 Pro.

Previous reports have revealed that the Vivo S17 line will have three models, such as the Vivo S17e (V2285A), Vivo S17 (V2283A), and Vivo S17 Pro (V2284A). At present, there is no information on the chipset that powers the S17e model. In the latest, tipster DCS revealed that the Vivo S17 will have the Snapdragon SM7325, which appears to be the Snapdragon 778G or Snapdragon 782G chipset.

The Vivo S17 Pro, on the other hand, will have the Dimensity 8200 chipset. To recall, the Vivo S16 and S16 Pro were equipped with the Snapdragon 870 and Dimensity 8200 chipsets, respectively.

DCS further said that the Vivo S17 and S17 Pro will feature a BOE-supplied OLED display that offers a 1.5K resolution. However, he did not reveal the screen size. Previous reports have claimed that the displays of the S17 series will have curved edges.

The rear camera setup of the Vivo S17 and S17 Pro will have a 50-megapixel Sony IMX766V primary camera, which is said to support optical image stabilization (OIS). A 12-megapixel IMX663 telephoto camera will be present in addition to it. There is no information on the other cameras that will be a part of the Vivo S17 series’ rear panel.

Vivo is reportedly working on the Vivo S17e, Vivo S17, and Vivo S17 Pro. These devices will succeed the Vivo S16e, S16, and S16 Pro, which debuted in December 2022. A report that surfaced last month revealed some details about the upcoming smartphones, including their model numbers and some specifications. However, a new Weibo post by tipster Wisdom Pikachu has shed more light on the chipsets that will power the S17 trio and the expected launch timeframe.

As per the information shared by the tipster, the Vivo S17 series is expected to be announced at some point in May. Hence, its arrival is expected to coincide with the 618 online shopping festival in China, which will be held around June 18. The timing of the launch could be strategic, as it will allow Vivo to capitalise on the festival’s increased consumer spending.

OPPO is expected to announce the Reno 10 series in May in China. The tipster claimed that the upcoming Vivo S17 will rival the Reno 10 lineup. Hence, the S17 lineup is expected to launch in May, but we believe that it may debut by the end of the said month.

In the Weibo post, the tipster also mentioned three chipsets, such as the Snapdragon 778G, Dimensity 8200, and Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1. These chipsets may power the Vivo S17e, Vivo S17, and Vivo S17 Pro.

The post Poco X5 Pro 5G live shots, key specifications revealed appeared first on Gizmochina.

Poco X5 and X5 Pro are expected to launch in January or February 2022 in the global market including India. There have been speculations that the Poco X5 will be a rebranded version of the Redmi Note 12 5G. New information shared by tipster Kacper Skrzypek reveals that it will be quite similar to the Note 12 5G but will pack a different chip. In addition, he also shared vital information about the Poco X5 Pro.

Poco X5

According to the tipster, the Redmi Note 12 5G, which is available in the Chinese variant, will also release in the global market with the same name. As far as the Poco X5 5G (codenamed “moonstone”) is concerned, he claimed that it shares the same ROM as the global version of the Redmi Note 12 5G. However, the X5 has a different chipset. While the Redmi model is equipped with the Snapdragon 4 Gen 1 chipset, the Poco X5 will arrive with the Snapdragon 695. He added that since both chipsets have the same Qualcomm platform, making one ROM for both SoCs is possible.

He did not mention the other specifications of the Poco X5 5G. But it appears that it may borrow the rest of its specs from the Redmi Note 12 5G. The Redmi phone has a 6.67-inch AMOLED FHD+ 120Hz display, up to 8 GB of RAM, up to 256 GB of storage, a 5,000mAh battery with 33W charging, 48-megapixel dual cameras, and an 8-megapixel front camera.

In November this year, the Oppo Reno 9 series made its debut in China, and this month saw the arrival of the Find N2 and Find N2 Flip foldable phones in the home market. A recent leak claimed that the Find N2 Flip will be released on the global market in 2023. A new report by Pricebaba has revealed the launch timeframe of the Reno 9 series as well as Find N2 Flip for the Indian market.

According to the publication, Oppo has started testing the Reno 9, Reno 9 Pro, and Find N2 Flip in India. The report also states that the three devices should make their debut in India by the end of Q1.

Unfortunately, the report does not say anything about the specifications of the Reno 9, 9 Pro, and N2 Flip for the Indian market. The specifications of their Chinese editions are known since they are already available for purchase in China.

The Reno 9 series has the Reno 9 Pro+, which is powered by the low-frequency version of the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1. At present, there is no evidence on whether the Reno 9 Pro+ as well as the Find N2 will be made available in markets outside of China.

The Reno 8 featured the Dimensity 1300, while the Reno 9 is equipped with the Snapdragon 778G. We found it be a boring phone as it offers little to no upgrades over the Reno 8. Hence, it remains to be seen whether the same device will be heading to India.

Samsung is the only brand offering a clamshell phone with a foldable display in markets outside of China. The Huawei P50 Pocket flip phone with foldable screen is also available outside of China. However, its availability is limited to Europe. Hence, the OPPO Find N2 Flip, which is expected to get a wider release, will be a major rival for the Galaxy Z Flip 4 or the Galaxy Z Flip 5, which is expected to release in August 2023. The N2 Flip is likely to be priced lower than Samsung’s Z Flip.

The post OPPO Reno 9 series chipset, camera details emerge appeared first on Gizmochina.

Earlier this year, OPPO unveiled the Reno 8 series of smartphones in China. The lineup includes three phones, such as the Reno 8, the Reno 8 Pro, and the Reno 8 Pro+. These phones are powered by the Dimensity 1300, the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1, and the Dimensity 8100 Max chipsets, respectively. The Chinese manufacturer is now reportedly working on the Reno 9 series of smartphones for the Chinese market. Reliable tipster Digital Chat Station has shared vital information on the processor of the Reno 9 series.

The tipster claims that while the previous generation featured the SM7450 chip, the upcoming model will have the SM7325 SoC.  What he means to say is that while the Reno 8 Pro came equipped with the latest Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 mobile platform, its successor, which is likely to be called the Reno 9 Pro, will house the Snapdragon 778G SoC.

Even though the Reno 9 Pro is tipped to feature the older chip, the tipster has claimed that it will be an “upgrade.” At present, the Reno 8 Pro and the Xiaomi CIVI 2, which are exclusively available in China, are the only phones powered by the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 mobile platform. It is unclear why OPPO may have opted for the SD778G for the Reno 9 Pro.

It was previously revealed by the tipster that the Reno 9 series would pack a 4,500mAh battery. The lineup will come with support for the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology’s new charging protocol, UFSC (Universal Fast Charging Specification).

DCS also revealed that apart from the Snapdragon 7-series chip, the Reno 9 lineup will feature the Dimensity 8-series SoC. He added that the Reno 9 series will come in a red color option dubbed “Everything Red.” It appears that the Reno 9 series will debut by Q4 this year in China.

Huawei has finally unveiled the Mate 50 series of smartphones. Apart from the flagship devices such as the Mate 50, Mate 50 Pro, and Mate 50 RS Porsche Design, the lineup also includes an upper mid-range device called the Mate 50e. The entire Mate 50 lacks support for 5G connectivity. The Mate 50 flagships are powered by the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 4G chipset, while the Mate 50e is equipped with the 4G version of the Snapdragon 778G.

Huawei Mate 50e specifications and features

Unlike the Mate 50 flagships that have a notched display, the Huawei Mate 50e is equipped with a punch-hole screen. The device features a 6.7-inch OLED screen that produces a resolution of 2700 x 1224 pixels, an aspect ratio of 20:9, a refresh rate of 90Hz, a touch sampling rate of 300Hz, and a high-frequency 144Hz PWM dimming. The device comes preloaded with HarmonyOS 3.0.

The Mate 50e has the Snapdragon 778G 4G under the hood. The phone comes with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB / 256 GB of storage. The device is equipped with an NM card slot for additional storage.

The four camera rings on the Mate 50e’s back are just a gimmick since it features a dual-camera setup.
