Anvinraj Valiyathara — Thu, 12 Aug 2021 07:03:16 +0000

Earlier this week, Xiaomi held a launch event in China to announce the Xiaomi Mi MIX 4 flagship phone and the Mi Pad 5 series. Fresh information that not only the Mi MIX 4 phone but also the Mi Pad 5 series of tablets have been spotted at the Google Play Console and Google Supported Devices list. The listings suggest that the company may release these devices in global markets in the future.

The Mi MIX 4 and Mi Pad 5 models in China do not come with Google Mobile Services (GMS) since it is banned in the country. Hence, Xiaomi does not require Google Play Console certification for releasing its phones and tablets in China.

Last week, Xiaomi Global’s Product PR Agatha Tang revealed that the company has no plans to release the Mi MIX 4 in global markets at present. While the Play Console listing doe does not guarantee an international release for the Mi MIX 4, Mi Pad 5, and Mi Pad 5 Pro, it does indicate that these devices may release outside of China.

Xiaomi Mi Pad 5 series specifications tipped once again before rumored August launch

Anvinraj Valiyathara — Thu, 29 Jul 2021 09:26:52 +0000

Xiaomi is expected to announce multiple products in August such as Mi MIX 4, Mi CC11 Pro, and the Mi Pad 5 series of tablets. Several reports have revealed the key specs of the three variants of the Mi Pad 5. A Chinese tipster has shared the key specifications of the three models once again to reveal what to expect from the Mi Pad 5 lineup.

The new leak states that the first variant will be a 5G-ready model featuring Snapdragon 870 chip, a 10.95-inch LCD panel that offers 2K resolution (probably, 120Hz refresh rate), an 8,720mAh battery with 67W fast charging support, a 48-megapixel camera, and a side-facing fingerprint scanner. It measures 8.1mm in thickness and weighs 510 grams.

The second variant will also feature the Snapdragon 870 chip, but it will be a Wi-Fi-only device. The leak mentions that it has a 12-megapixel camera instead of a 48-megapixel, 67W fast charging. Its other specs are said to be almost the same as the first variant. The first and the second variants could be the M210581AC and M210581C models that were certified by China’s 3C regulatory body earlier this month.

The third model will be featuring an LCD panel that supports a 2K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. It will be a Snapdragon 860 SoC-powered device that will offer specs like 33W fast charging and a 12-megapixel camera. This could be the 21051182C Xiaomi device that was recent approved by the 3C authority.

The tipster has also hinted about a Snapdragon 768G variant but has not shared any more details on its specs. There is a possibility that it could be debuting as a Redmi device. He added that the company may launch a 12.9-inch tablet powered by the Snapdragon 888 chip (wi-fi only version) next year.

Xiaomi Mi Pad 5 models bag 3C certification ahead of rumored August launch

Anvinraj Valiyathara — Wed, 21 Jul 2021 02:18:43 +0000

Recent reports have claimed that Xiaomi will be announcing the Mi Pad 5 series of tablets in August in China. Three new devices that are believed to be the upcoming tablets from the company have received approval from the 3C authority of China. This indicates that the company may at least three Mi Pad 5 tablets in the coming month.

As can be seen, the 3C authority has approved three Xiaomi tablets with model numbers M210581AC, 21051182C, and M201581C. As can be seen in the screenshot, the K81A and K81C models are likely to ship with a 67W charger. It appears that among the two models, only the K81C will carry support for 5G connectivity.

According to Digital Chat Station, the K81A and K81C tablets will be driven by the Snapdragon 870 chipset. Previous reports have claimed that the K81C model could be housing an 8,720mAh battery. Both models may house a 48-megapixel main camera along with an LCD panel that offers 2K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. Probably, the K81A and K81C could be the same tablet with the former being a Wi-Fi-only edition and the latter arriving as its 5G variant.

On the other side, the 82C model could be shipping with a 33W fast charger. The tipster claimed that it will be featuring the Snapdragon 860. A recent leak claimed that the Snapdragon 870 variants of the Mi Pad 5 may launch first, while the SD860 version may arrive later. The tipster claimed that this model also features an LCD panel that offers a 2K resolution and a 120Hz refresh. Past reports have claimed that it may feature a 12-megapixel main camera and a 12,400mAh battery.

Xiaomi Mi Pad 5 design, key specs emerge in a poster

Anvinraj Valiyathara — Tue, 20 Jul 2021 01:45:03 +0000

Xiaomi is expected to announce the Mi Pad 5 series of tablets in August. Probably, the company may announce the new tablets along with the Mi C11, Mi MIX 4, and the MIUI 13 in the coming month. A poster of the tablet has appeared on Weibo to reveal its design and key specs.

The poster reveals that the Mi Pad 5 is powered by the Snapdragon 860, which is the same chip that fuels the POCO X3 Pro smartphone. The back panel of the tablet seems to be equipped with a pair of cameras and an LED flash.

The front view of the Mi Pad 5 shows that it is equipped with ultra-thin bezels, which seems too good to be true for a tablet. The screen supports a 2K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate.

According to a recent leak, the company may announce the Mi Pad 5 variant featuring the Snapdragon 870 chipset first. This model is expected to arrive with a 48-megapixel main camera and is likely to carry support for 67W fast charging.

The variant featuring the Snapdragon 860 may arrive a bit later. It is expected to house a 12-megapixel primary camera and a much slower 22.5W rapid charging tech. Both models are likely to come equipped with an 11-inch (10.95-inch) display. It is speculated that a new Xiaomi device with model number 2017119DC that has approval from the TENAA authority recently could be one of the Mi Pad 5 series tablets.

Snapdragon 870-powered Xiaomi Mi Pad 5 may launch first, SD860 version to come later

Habeeb Onawole — Mon, 19 Jul 2021 17:51:25 +0000

It has been reported that the Mi Pad 5 tablet from Xiaomi will come in multiple configurations. There will be a high-end version powered by the Snapdragon 870 chipset while a less-powerful model will feature the Snapdragon 860 processor. A new leak has revealed that both versions will be launched separately.

According to the Weibo user that goes by @熊猫很禿然, the Mi Pad 5 with a Snapdragon 870 processor will arrive first. This model will not only have a more powerful processor but also have a 48MP main camera and support for 67W fast wired charging.

The Snapdragon 860 version which will arrive later and cost less will have a 12MP main camera and a much slower 22.5W fast charging technology. We have also heard reports of a version of the tablet with a Snapdragon 768G but much is not known about this variant.

Leaks have revealed that the Mi Pad 5 series will have an 11-inch display with a 2K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. Xiaomi is also expected to launch a 5G version of the Snapdragon 870-powered model but the lower-end models may stick to Wi-Fi.

Lots of fans are anticipating the new Mi Pad tablet which is not surprising since the last model, the Mi Pad 4 was released back in 2018.

Xiaomi Mi Pad 5 spotted on China’s MIIT, reportedly with Snapdragon 870

Sean — Wed, 07 Jul 2021 10:07:34 +0000

The Xiaomi Mi Pad 5 has just been spotted on China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology by a Weibo blogger, a Chinese microblogging website. The tablet will support 5G through the Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 SoC.

According to known tipster @数码闲聊站, the Chinese tech giant’s Mi Pad 5 has officially been listed on the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT).

This model is expected to feature an 11 inch FHD LCD display panel with a 2560 x 1600px resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and 240hz touch sampling rate.

Notably, the blogger also added that the device will arrive in two variants, namely a Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 along with a lower end version that will reportedly feature a Snapdragon 860 SoC. Keep in mind, this is still an unconfirmed report so take this news with a pinch of salt for now and stay tuned for more, as we will be providing updates when additional information is available regarding this device.

Xiaomi to launch three new tablets including one with a Snapdragon 860 chip

Habeeb Onawole — Sun, 11 Apr 2021 19:29:13 +0000

With Huawei’s market share up for grabs, competitors are trying to outdo themselves with new products every week, and it is already yielding results, at least for smartphones. However, things are slower with regards to the tablet market which is another area Huawei had a grip on in China but that is about to be snatched by players such as Lenovo and Xiaomi. The two manufacturers have multiple new tablets lined up to launch this year. Now, new details have surfaced of Xiaomi’s upcoming tablets.

Xiaomi took a break from making tablets for a few years but this year it plans to make a comeback with not one but three new tablets. According to a new report, Xiaomi’s three new tablets will be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 800 series chipsets.

The tablets will have IPS displays with a 2560 x 800 resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. These displays will have a brightness level of 410 nits. The source also adds that the tablet codenamed “Enuma” will have a 48MP primary rear camera while the other two will have a 12MP primary rear camera. All three will have four rear cameras that include an ultrawide camera, a macro camera, and a depth camera.

With respect to processors, the Snapdragon 870 will power “Enuma” and “Elish” while “Nabu” will have a Snapdragon 860 processor. Based on these specs, it means Nabu should be the cheapest of them all. It is also stated that the tablets will have NFC, quad speakers, wireless charging, and ultra-fast charging.

All three tablets should launch under the Mi Pad line, run MIUI based on Android out of the box, and should launch first in China before a global release.

Poco X3 Pro Review: Snapdragon 860 takes performance to the next level

Paco Zheng — Mon, 22 Mar 2021 13:07:57 +0000

Last year Poco released the Poco X3, which offered great value for money to its buyers. And recently, at their Spring event, Poco updated the X3 with a new Pro version. And as the name implies, the X3 Pro is the Poco X3’s beefier brother.

The X3 Pro in our hand is a model that we got from the online retailer Goboo.

Goboo usually features a fast global premiere of the latest models in direct partnership with brands like Xiaomi and Poco. And the Poco X3 Pro model was no exception. Their shipping policy promises dispatch within 24 hours and can deliver in countries such as Spain within 2 days. They even offer a guaranteed no-hassle 14-day return policy and a 2-year warranty.

WHERE TO BUY

Poco X3 Pro World Premiere Event, buy it for an early bird price of just € 199 from Goboo.

Especially for the Poco X3 Pro, Goboo offers an exclusive price for early-bird pre-sale buyers that includes free screen repair within the first 6 months of purchase. For the X3 Pro launch, Goboo is keeping a World Premiere event in partnership with Poco, so make sure to check the link down below this video, and you get a chance to win a brand new Poco X3 Pro as well as learn more information about the new Poco products in the market. You also get a chance to win their big prizes like the other Poco series models, Mi smart projector, Mi watch lite, and so on.

In a teaser released recently, Poco talked about how it shook up the budget market with a respectable performance-to-price ratio and suggested that the new phone would be available at the same price as the F1, representing the original spirit of the Poco F series. Now we know the phone they were talking about was the X3 Pro.

Poco X3 Pro Review: Design

The Poco X3 Pro starts with a 6+128GB version but there’s another version with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. The phone comes in 3 color versions, Metal Bronze, Frost Blue, and Black.

The Poco X3 Pro in our hands is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 860, which is a higher-binned version of the Snapdragon 855+. Compared to the Poco X3 running the snapdragon 732G, the 860 chipset is definitely a surprising upgrade. But please note that the 860 chipset is a 4G chipset, so it doesn’t support the latest 5G network connection.

The phone features a quad rear camera setup headlined by a 48 MP main sensor, accompanied by an 8MP ultrawide sensor, 2MP macro, and 2MP depth shooters. For battery, the X3 Pro has inherited the non-Pro version’s large battery design and features one with 5156mAh battery capacity and 33W fast charging, which, even when compared to the Redmi K40 series, still brings a comfortable battery life. And the 120 Hz 1080PLCD display also comes back on the Pro model.

The design of the X3 Pro doesn’t change much. It looks almost the same as the Standard X3. So we still have the camera module arranged at the upper-middle position of the back. And the big Poco logo on the back still stands out.

Turn it around, and there is still the same 6.67-inch hole-punch display. As a budget model, the X3 Pro’s narrow chin design is still impressive.

In addition, the X3 Pro also carried forward some useful features related to daily usage, including NFC, Z-axis linear motor for better vibration experience, stereo dual-speakers, and the rare 3.5mm headphone jack.

POCO X3 Pro Review: Performance & Gaming

Thanks to the debut of the Snapdragon 860 chipset, the Pro’s performance has got much better than the standard model. The standard X3’s performance didn’t really cheer up the fans last year, so we were looking forward to seeing the performance on the X3 Pro. Since the X3 Pro in our hands is still a non-commercial sample, we were unable to run most benchmarks on it.

But we could run AnTuTu and the phone scored around 476,000. Unfortunately we couldn’t test out other benchmarks. But if there are any software updates to open this limit, we will be sure to let you know.

While we couldn’t run most benchmarks, we could still test its gaming performance.

Well, the results didn’t disappoint us.

In PUBG Mobile, due to the in-game framerate limit, we were only allowed to run under 60fps with the highest HDR graphics setting. So it was pretty easy for the Pro to achieve an excellent and stable gaming performance without any thermal issues. The phone didn’t heat up, and after 30mins of gaming, its highest temperature reached was only at 45℃, which is much better than those flagships running the snapdragon 888 chipsets.

In NBA 2K20, we again could not access a maximum framerate up to 120fps. However, the X3 Pro easily achieved an average framerate at 59.65fps without any performance down throttling or heating issues.

In Genshin Impact (20mins), under the highest graphics (motion blur OFF), the X3 Pro surprisingly achieved at avg. 49.9fps with some fluctuation in battling.

Genshin Impact – Poco x3 pro

POCO X3 Pro Review: Camera Performance

The quad-camera combination contains a 48MP AI main camera, an 8MP wide-angle camera, a 2MP portrait camera, and another 2MP macro camera.

Now let’s see some photo samples shot on the X3 Pro.

Main Camera

The main-camera samples have pretty good colors and decent contrasts. When you turn on the AI colors and HDR mode, the vivid colors look more delightful but sometimes it may come out a bit oversaturated. Under most conditions, we prefer the samples without AI adjustment as the images had natural colors and were closer to the true tone of the scene.

The exposure of the main camera is pretty accurate except when facing high contrast situations. The main camera also did a relatively good job of removing the fringing effect.

Wide-Angle Camera

On the other hand, the wide-angle-camera’s samples didn’t show a good dynamic range or high contrast when compared to the main camera’s output. But it was good at producing pleasant colors. Under most conditions, the anti-distortion of the wide-angle camera is pretty good but sometimes it wasn’t perfect especially when you look carefully at the corners of the image.

Macro Camera

The 2MP macro camera can focus on subjects close to 4cm. The colors in the macro samples were a bit dull, and the low resolution of the sensor also makes it not so practical. Meanwhile, you have to be careful with lighting conditions since the macro cam performs much better in brighter scenes.

Night Mode Performance

As for the night mode, the improvement in brightness is really remarkable. Make sure that you turn on the night mode without fail under insufficient lighting conditions, as it would definitely boost your shooting experience, no matter for the main camera or the wide-angle sensor.

And we can also see how it stabilizes your image and balances the exposure between brightness and darkness.

POCO X3 Pro Review: Battery Life & Charging

In the charging test, a full charge took around 1 hour and 12mins, which is close to what we got on the X3.

POCO X3 Pro battery charging

To give you a basic idea of how the larger battery extends your battery life, we played PUBG mobile, shot photos, and videos, and watched online videos, and performed each activity for 30 minutes. Then we recorded the power consumption for each activity. Just check out the results here!

POCO X3 Pro Review: Verdict

So this was our quick review of the Poco X3 Pro. We hope you got enough information before you go ahead and make your purchase decision.

This time the improvement of the X3 Pro is more remarkable than what we had on the X3. And the phone almost brought us back to Poco’s golden days to some extent, not just because of its price but also the inclusion of a high-performance chip inside an affordable phone. However, we’re still a bit upset about its design. Honestly, we would have preferred all these upgrades on a newly-designed model instead of just recycling an existing one.

By the way, if you are interested in the Poco X3 Pro, don’t forget to click the link here and join the event held by Goboo and Poco. If you are picked as one of the lucky winners of the newly launched X3 Pro, do let us know!

POCO X3 Pro Global launch is said to happen this month, i.e, March 2021. Ahead of the launch, the device has already received certifications like FCC, NBTC, BIS, and SIRIM. Today, 91Mobiles have partnered with Twitter user Sudhanshu to leak the storage and color variants of the device.

Further, Sudhanshu also says that the Europe prices for the POCO X3 Pro will probably start at €250 for the 6GB/128GB variant and the 8GB/256GB variant could debut for €300.

POCO hasn’t started teasing the device officially yet but we have signs for an imminent launch already. Recently, tech influencer Mukul Sharma tweeted that the POCO X3 Pro Global launch could be in March.

This happened a couple of days after POCO Global Spokesperson hinted at a new launch this month. Besides launching Globally in markets like Europe, the device is also expected to arrive in Asian markets like India, Malaysia, and Thailand.

As for specs, the POCO X3 Pro is tipped to feature a Snapdragon 860 SoC which isn’t official yet. Qualcomm has launched a pumped version of the Snapdragon 865+ as the 870 and similarly, the Snapdragon 860 is expected to be a boosted version of Snapdragon 855+.

Further, the device will likely feature a 120Hz IPS LCD panel and a 5,200mAh battery. The POCO X3 had a 64MP Quad-camera setup and going by the naming, we can expect some improvements in the camera department of the POCO X3 Pro.

However, let’s wait for the official info to get an idea of how good a sibling is the POCO X3 Pro to the already selling POCO X3.

Realme is expected to launch the X7 series on September 1. The series is made up of the Realme X7 and X7 Pro and that has already been confirmed by several teasers and leaks. However, a new rumour has emerged that the Chinese company will also be launching a third version that would be known as Realme X7 Pro Player.

The Realme X7 Pro Player is rumoured to feature a Snapdragon 860 chipset as agaist the MediaTek Dimensity 1000+ that will be on the regular Pro. A leaked poster which appeared recently shows the device will pack a Snapdragon 860 SoC which is yet to be announced. Thus, the phone may be the first to feature the processor. Although the details of the phone is yet to be revealed, it maylikely be a middle ground between Snapdragon 855 and Snapdragon 865.

This won’t be the first Realme model to get a Player edition. Backin February this year, the Realme X50 Pro 5G had a layer version targeted at gamer. The phone comes with an improved cooling and extra layers for better heat dissipation. We’ll have to wait for the launch date to confirm if there will indeed be a X7 Pro Player version.

Rumor: OPPO Reno5 Pro and Reno5 Pro Plus will be powered by the Snapdragon 860

The OPPO Reno series is already in its fourth generation even though it is just a year old. By the next quarter, we expect OPPO will announce the Reno5 series as details have begun surfacing. Today, a leak revealed the names of the phones in the series and their respective processors, one of which is a chipset that is yet to launch but that we have heard of before.

The source of the leaker is Really Asen Jun, and according to him, there will be three Reno5 phones. They are the Reno5, Reno5 Pro, and Reno5 Pro+. Knowing OPPO, these phones may launch under a different name in other markets. The leaker goes on to reveal the chipsets that are expected to power the three phones.

The Reno5 will be powered by the yet-to-be-announced Snapdragon 775G. This chipset was expected to be announced in June but it still has not been announced. The Snapdragon 775G should bring new features and a higher processing power than the Snapdragon 765G which has turned out to be the go-to chipset for several manufacturers launching mid-range 5G phones.

The Reno5 Pro and Reno5 Pro+ will both feature the Snapdragon 860 Mobile Platform, another processor that is yet-to-be-announced. News of the Snapdragon 860 first surfaced earlier this month, and even then, it was linked to OPPO.

While we know little about these processors, we are pretty sure they will have 5G modems. While OPPO did release 4G variants of the Reno4, we do not think it will do the same for the Reno5 series.

Qualcomm may announce a Snapdragon 860 processor chipset

Habeeb Onawole — Thu, 06 Aug 2020 14:49:09 +0000

The Snapdragon 865 Plus is Qualcomm’s latest flagship processor. The San Diego-based is expected to announce a Snapdragon 875 processor at the end of the year which will power the flagships of 2021. Now, a new leak says we may be getting a new Snapdragon 800 series chipset but one that should be less powerful than the Snapdragon 865.

According to a post on Weibo by Digital Chat Station, details from an OPPO meeting included the mention of a new processor called the Snapdragon 860. He adds that the chipset should be a lite version of the Snapdragon 875 (or Snapdragon 875G?).

We don’t have enough details on this new chipset yet but if it is already being discussed by manufacturers, then it is most likely on the way.

We believe the launch of the Snapdragon 860 will bring chaos to the Snapdragon 800 series. Only a handful of manufacturers launch phones with the previous year’s chipsets. So adding a Snapdragon 860 to the mix will mean having to choose between it, the Snapdragon 865, and the Snapdragon 865 Plus.
