Oukitel, the China-based smartphone manufacturer has officially launched the successor to its C23 smartphone in its home country in the form of Oukitel C25. This time, the company has replaced the MediaTek chipset with a Unisoc chip.

The Oukitel C23 comes powered by the Unisoc Tiger T310 SoC which includes a Cortex-A75 core clocked at 2.0GHz and three Cortex-A55 cores clocked at 1.88GHz. It also comes with a PowerVR GT7200 GPU and the device packs 4GB of RAM.

The smartphone comes packed with 32GB of internal storage and also has a microSD card slot which allows users to further expand the phone’s storage capacity up to 256GB.

It features a 6.52-inch HD+ display that offers a screen resolution of 720 x 1600 pixels. On the top of the screen, there’s a dewdrop notch that houses an 8-megapixel Sony IMX355 camera for taking selfies and video calling.

The phone’s back panel has a triple-camera setup that includes a 13-megapixel primary sensor, a 0.3-megapixel depth sensor, and another 0.3-megapixel AI lenses. There’s also a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor for added protection.

The device runs the Android 11 operating system out-of-the-box and is powered by a 5,000mAh battery but support for fast charging hasn’t been revealed.

The Oukitel C25 comes in two color options — Black and Green. The smartphone has already been listed on the online marketplace Aliexpress for the price of $169.99. However, customers will be able to get the device for $80 during the first sale on 13th September.

AGM is a brand known for the manufacture of rugged phones. That has n’t changed as the company has released its latest smartphone dubbed AGM H2. The device keeps up with the brand’s identity as it comes with a rugged design and IP68 waterproof and dustproof rating.

In terms of the specs, the AGM H2 is equipped with a 5.7-inch display with an HD+ resolution of 720×1440 pixels. The front design of the H2 is quite unique. It has a sizeable bezel at the top which houses the earpiece and selfie camera. At the bottom, there is a large front blasting speaker said to have a maximum sound level of 106db with superb sound quality. The phone also has what looks like a dedicated Google Assistant button at the left side of the display with a red accent. The power button and volume rockers are on the right side.

The rugged smartphone is powered by Unisoc’s (formerly Spreadtrum) Tiger T310 chipset. The processor was announced in April with a quad-core architecture. As a reminder, the Tiger T310 has 1 x Cortex-A75 core paired with 3 x Cortex-A55 cores in a single cluster. It is able to do this as a result of Arm’s DynamIQ Architecture which replaces its big.LITTLE architecture and allows you to combine a big and LITTLE core in the same cluster. This is the first quad-core LTE chipset in the world based on the DynamIQ architecture.

One of the key advantages of this architecture is that there can be an increase in performance without an increase in power consumption. When it comes to benchmarks, Unisoc says the 12nm TSMC-built Tiger T310 has a 120% improvement in performance over other quad-core processors in single-core tests and a 20% improvement in performance in multi-core tests. The chipset propelled the H2 to achieve an AnTuTu score of 144263 points, same level with the Snapdragon 670 mid-range chipset.

On the camera end, the AGM H2 packs a single 8MP sensor at the front and a single 13MP camera sensor at the rear. The phone gets its juice from an impressive 4400mAh battery said to a standby time of up to 300 hours.

The phone comes with an affordable 699 yuan ($99) price tag but details of its availability are scanty.

Hisense is set to announce a new mid-range phone according to reports from local Chinese media. The phone which will arrive as the Hisense F30S is a mid-range phone with a design we have seen from other manufacturers, but the chipset under its hood isn’t so common and is the highlight of the phone.

Thanks to official renders, we are able to get an early look at the device before it is announced.

The Hisense F30S will have a display with a waterdrop notch and curved corners. It also has a fairly thick bottom bezel. On the back of the phone are two cameras stacked vertically at the top left corner. Both sensors share the same housing while an LED flash and the words “AI Camera” are positioned under the setup. The phone has two openings at the bottom for the speaker. There isn’t a fingerprint scanner on the back and neither is there one under the display.

The Hisense F30S will come in three color variants with two of them having a gradient finish.

Coming to the chipset, it has been reported that the phone will be powered by the Tiger T310 processor. This is a chipset by Unisoc (formerly Spreadtrum) that was announced in April. It is a quad-core entry-level processor but a unique one at that.

Unlike other quad-core processors that have the same cores in a cluster, the Tiger T310 has 1 x Cortex-A75 core paired with 3 x Cortex-A55 cores in a single cluster. It is able to do this as a result of Arm’s DynamIQ Architecture which replaces its big.LITTLE architecture and allows you to combine a big and LITTLE core in the same cluster. This is the first quad-core LTE chipset in the world based on the DynamIQ architecture.

One of the key advantages of this architecture is that there can be an increase in performance without an increase in power consumption. When it comes to benchmarks, Unisoc says the 12nm TSMC-built Tiger T310 has a 120% improvement in performance over other quad-core processors in single-core tests and a 20% improvement in performance in multi-core tests.

For the Tiger T310, the Cortex-A75 core is clocked at 2.0GHz while the Cortex-A55 cores are clocked at 1.8GHz.

The Hisense F30S is the same device that was seen on TENAA earlier this month as the Hisense HLTE217T. Its specs are a 6.2-inch HD+ display, 3GB/4GB/6GB of RAM and 32GB/64GB/128GB of expandable storage. Its selfie camera is an 8MP sensor while the ones on the rear are 13MP and 2MP sensors. The phone will pack a 3900mAh battery and weigh 169 grams.

The release date for the Hisense F30S and its price are still unknown but we may have to wait till the launch to find out about the latter.
