With the new Galaxy S10 Lite just launched in the Indian market, Samsung is aiming to beat Chinese manufacturers even in the segment of affordable flagship smartphones. While Samsung launched an affordable flagship, Oppo and Vivo recently came up with some of the first upper-midrange devices with 5G support, and they come with not so different prices. Should you go for the Galaxy S10 Lite or a 5G device like the Vivo X30 Pro and Oppo Reno3 Pro represents a better choice? This specs comparison will clear your ideas.

Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite vs Vivo X30 Pro vs Oppo Reno3 Pro

Design

The design of a smartphone is not all about looks: it is also about dimensions and thickness. And I think Oppo Reno3 Pro is the handset that mostly meets the requirements for the best design award. Despite it includes a battery above 4000 mAh, it still comes with an incredibly thin design: just 7.7 mm, as well as a lightweight body with just 171 grams. Further, it has a cleaner glass back thanks to the camera module including all the camera elements, and very narrow bezels thanks to its punch-hole display. Oppo Reno3 Pro is the device attracting me the most, but Vivo X30 Pro and Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite remain two smartphones with amazing aesthetics. The former is even more compact than Oppo Reno3 Pro (but it is thicker and heavier).

Display

Oppo Reno3 Pro is the device offering the most advanced display experience. It is the only to support a high 90 Hz refresh rate, it has a very nice image reproduction thanks to HDR and high DCI-P3 coverage, and even a high brightness. But you should not underestimate the image quality provided by the Super AMOLED Plus panel found on the Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite. Even the Vivo X30 Pro sports a great display, but I personally prefer the Oppo Reno3 Pro due to its high refresh rate.

Hardware/Software

It is not very common to see a Samsung smartphone with higher performance than other devices in the same price range. But thanks to the Snapdragon 855 chipset, Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite is faster and more powerful than both Oppo Reno3 Pro and Vivo X30 Pro. But there is a con: unlike its rivals, it does not support 5G. Both Oppo Reno3 Pro and Vivo X30 Pro boast 5G connectivity, but their chipsets are not the most powerful in the market (they are upper-midrange-class mobile platforms). Whether you should go for a 5G device or not depends on the country you live in and how much time will pass before changing your device. Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite and Oppo Reno3 Pro have Android 10 out of the box, while Vivo X30 Pro is still based on Android Pie.

Camera

The most impressive camera on the paper belongs to the Vivo X30 Pro. It has a quad camera composed of a main 64 MP sensor with OIS, a 32 MP portrait lens, a 13 MP periscope sensor with up to 5x optical zoom and an ultrawide sensor. But the fact that it boasts the most impressive cameras on the paper does not mean it provides the best photo quality in every scenario. Oppo Reno3 Pro is another amazing device for photos thanks to its 48 MP main sensor with OIS, while Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite should be impressive for video recording due to its new Super Steady OIS. We will be able to tell you more after testing it thoroughly.

Battery

The king of battery life is Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite with its 4500 mAh battery, followed by Vivo X30 Pro and its 4350 mAh unit.

Price

Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite costs €649 globally, Vivo X30 Pro starts from about $585 in China, and Oppo Reno3 Pro starts from about €520 in China. With Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite you lose 5G, but you get better performance and longer battery life. If you get a unit of the Oppo Reno3 Pro, you will get the most amazing design and display, as well as 5G and Android 10 out of the box, while Vivo X30 Pro has the most impressive camera department.

In a few days, Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite will be officially available for reservations in the Indian market. It is the first Lite variant of the Galaxy Note series and we believe it deserves to be included in comparison only for this reason. We obviously chose other affordable high-end smartphones in the same price range for this comparison. For power users, we included Realme X2 Pro, while for people in search of innovative features and amazing cameras, we chose the Vivo X30 Pro. Let’s find out who is better through an in-depth specs comparison.

Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite vs Realme X2 Pro vs Vivo X30 Pro

Design

Samsung and Vivo put more effort into the making of the design of Galaxy Note 10 and X30 Pro. They both come with a punch-hole display minimizing the bezels, as well as a better overall look. I personally prefer the Vivo X30 Pro because it is more compact than both its opponents and it has a less invasive camera module on its rear side. But it is a matter of tastes, naturally. Which design do you prefer?

Display

The most advanced display belongs to the Realme X2 Pro. First of all, it is the only device from this trio to feature the HDR10+ technology for better image reproduction especially on streaming platforms such as Netflix and Prime Video. Further, it has a full DCI P3 coverage and a high 90 Hz refresh rate making the viewing experience smoother. The super AMOLED panel even comes with a very high brightness. There is not so much difference between the panels of Vivo X30 Pro and Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite, but the Galaxy Note 10 Lite is the only to support the S Pen, an amazing feature for productivity.

Hardware/Software

The most powerful hardware belongs to the Realme X2 Pro which boasts a Snapdragon 855 chipset paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS 3.0 internal storage. But, unlike the Vivo X30 Pro, it lacks 5G connectivity. Vivo X30 Pro has an inferior chipset in terms of performance, but it is a chipset bundled with an integrated 5G modem. Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite is inferior to both Vivo X30 Pro and Realme X2 Pro in terms of hardware, but it is the only to feature a micro SD slot to expand the internal storage. Further, it is the only with Android 10 out of the box.

Camera

Vivo X30 Pro has the most interesting and awesome camera setup. It includes a main 64 MP sensor with OSI, a periscope lens with up to 5x optical zoom, an additional telephoto sensor with a 32 MP resolution and an ultrawide 8 MP sensor. Simply incredible. Right after, we got the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite with a 12 MP triple camera including OIIS, 2x optical zoom, and an ultrawide lens. Both Vivo X30 Pro and Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite are high-end camera phones, but Vivo X30 Pro wins. Realme X2 Pro is just a mid-ranger in terms of camera performance, it packs a 64 MP quad camera including a Samsung GW1 sensor with a 64 MP resolution.

Battery

The biggest battery belongs to the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite which lasts way more on a single charge. But Realme X2 Pro has the fastest charging technology: it goes from 0 to 100 percent in just 35 minutes.

Price

Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite will cost €599/$665 globally, Vivo X30 Pro debuted for about €527/$585 in China, and Realme X2 Pro starts from €399/$442 globally. There is not a clear winner of this comparison, it mostly depends on your needs. The S Pen and the bigger battery are the main pros of the Galaxy Note 10 Lite. Vivo X30 Pro offers 5G and better cameras, while Realme X2 Pro comes with a better display and higher-end hardware.

BBK subsidiaries OPPO and Vivo released new smartphones powered by some of the most impressive chipsets you’ll find around. The Vivo X30 Pro 5G came with a Samsung Exynos 980 processor which is a relatively unpopular SoC. On the other hand, OPPO Reno3 Pro uses a Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G, a new generation 5G sub-flagship SoC. Here is a comparison of the AnTuTu score of the two chipsets to determine which one is more powerful.

Overall, the Exynos 980-powered Vivo X30 Pro had a total score of 333160 points while the OPPO Reno3 powered by a Snapdragon 765G SoC scored 323534 points. The Exynos 980 shines in the CPU test with a total score of 118621 points as against 103359 points for the Reno3. But the Snapdragon 765G had a better GPU score of 93,086 while Exynos 980 scored 88987 points.

EDITOR’S PICK: First Samples from the 108MP Mi Mix Alpha is here & we are not impressed!

The Reno3 had a better 69447 points mem test score whereas the Exynos 980 had a 62,105 points score. Finally, in terms of the user interface (UX), the Vivo X30 Pro scored 63447 points while the OPPO Reno3 had a score of 57642 points.

The difference between the total AnTuTu benchmark score of the two mobile phones is 10,000 points, which is less than 3%. This slight difference in score can’t be felt by everyday users of phones with both SoCs. So even though we are comparing the Samsung Exynos 980 and Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G AnTuTu benchmarks, the differences in running points have no practical significance because it does not affect anything noticeable at all.

The post Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G vs Samsung Exynos 980: which is more powerful? appeared first on Gizmochina.

Vivo announced the Vivo X30 series smartphones on December 16 in China. The new lineup is important for the Chinese smartphone maker for two main reasons. First, the Vivo X30 and the X30 Pro expands the company’s 5G product portfolio in China. Second, it is the world’s first pair of smartphones to be powered by the 5G integrated Exynos 980 chipset. This is a newfound relationship between Vivo & Samsung with the company revealing that it even contributed in the development of the chip.

Vivo X30 vs Vivo X30 Pro: Design

When you look at Vivo X30 vs Vivo X30 Pro, there are hardly any differences. They have an almost identical design, which includes a vertical camera setup at the back and a punch-hole display with a small 2.98mm diameter hole for the selfie camera on the top right corner.

However, the only difference between the two devices, in terms of both specifications as well as design is its camera setup. While the X30 gets a triple camera setup at the back, there’s an additional periscope shooter on the Pro variant, making it a quad-camera setup. Both phones come in a glass back and have the same color variants.

Vivo X30 vs Vivo X30 Pro: Specifications

Once again, there are hardly any differences between the two devices in terms of core specifications. Both smartphones are powered by the 5G-integrated Exynos 980 chipset that features 2 x Cortex A77 cores and 6 x Cortex A55 cores. The 5G modem inside the Exynos 980 chip supports SA and NSA networks (n41 and n78 bands). Both phones come with 2.4GHz, 5GHz, 5.8GHz WiFi; Bluetooth 5.0, NFC, and an audio jack. Yes, both the devices have a dedicated 3.5mm headphone jack, unlike competitors like the Reno3 series.

There’s 8GB of RAM onboard with two storage variants; 128GB and 256GB. Note that the storages are UFS 2.1 and not UFS 3.0 like the OnePlus 7T. You get the exact same 6.44-inch Super AMOLED HDR display on both the devices with an in-display fingerprint sensor. A 4350mAh battery powers both the devices with 30W fast charging.

Vivo X30 vs Vivo X30 Pro: Camera

So far, the Vivo X30 and the X30 Pro have been identical. But there’s a $100 difference between the two devices! And Vivo justifies that with the fourth additional camera on the Vivo X30 Pro.

The standard X30 comes with a 64MP f/1.8 primary camera (OIS), a 32MP f/2.0 telephoto shooter with 2x optical zoom, 20x digital zoom, and 50mm focal length, and an 8MP f/2.2 ultra-wide shooter. The setup on the Vivo X30 Pro is exactly the same as the basic X30 model. But the fourth camera on the side is the real game-changer. It’s a special periscope 13MP camera with f/3.0 aperture shooter featuring 5x optical zoom and a whopping 60x digital zoom. It’s no surprise that the X30 Pro gets its own special moon mode as well. It’s also worth adding that each of the three cameras (except for the ultrawide lens) have OIS on board.

Upfront, a 32MP f/2.4 shooter takes care of your selfie needs on both the devices.

Vivo X30 vs Vivo X30 Pro: Price

With the additional periscope camera being the only addition on the X30 Pro, a $100 price difference seems a bit too much. The standard Vivo X30 is priced at ¥3298 (~$472) for the 128GB version and ¥3598 (~$515) for the 256GB version. On the other hand, the Vivo X30 Pro starts at ¥3998 (~$573) for the 128GB version and goes up to ¥4298 (~$616) for the 256GB version. Both the phones are on sale in China right now, but no word on an international release date yet.

Do you think the $100 price difference between the two models is justified?

Vivo finally took the wraps off the X30 models earlier this month with both models having spectacular features that distinguish it from the pack. The Vivo X30 Pro 5G is the high-end variant and even though the 5G connectivity may be the biggest feature onboard, the device comes with an impressive camera setup including a periscope lens. We have now laid our hands on a couple of camera samples which showcases the prowess of the zoom levels on the periscope camera on the device.

The first picture highlights a building at some distance which is barely visible without zooming. The camera sample at 5X zoom, 10X zoom, 20X zoom and 60X zoom. What makes this amazing is the lack of photographic noise on the samples as the object is zoom closer. Even though the 60X zoom sample is a little blurry, the text on the wall of the building can be seen clearly.

EDITOR’S PICK: First Samples from the 108MP Mi Mix Alpha is here & we are not impressed!

The device packs a 13MP periscope lens that enables 5x optical zoom and up to 60x digital zoom. The device also comes with a powerful 32MP selfie shooter with f/2.0 aperture. At the rear, there is a triple camera setup in addition to the periscope lens. The setup includes an OIS-enabled 64-megapixel main lens with f/1.8 aperture, a 122-degree 8-megapixel ultrawide lens with f/2.2 aperture as well as an OIS-assisted 32-megapixel portrait lens with f/2.0 aperture.

In other aspects, the X30 Pro has a 6.44-inch S-AMOLED display with punch-hole design. It offers 1080 x 2400 pixels full HD+ resolution and is integrated with a fingerprint sensor. The phone is powered by a Samsung Exynos 980 chipset paired with 8GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS 2.1 native storage without external storage. The latest FunTouchOS 10 based Android 9 Pie OS comes preloaded on the device.

Vivo X30 Pro is official as the world’s first phone with the world’s first chipset sporting an integrated 5G modem. Besides this revolution, the handset is also camera-centric and it sports an amazing camera setup. With the X30 Pro, Vivo launched a very performing device without an expensive price, unlike most of the best flagships out there. That is why we decided to compare it with other flagship killers which are catalyzing the public’s attention in the Asian market. Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro and Oppo Reno Ace are the perfect candidates for this comparison, at least in regard to the Chinese market.

Vivo X30 Pro vs Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro vs Oppo Reno Ace

Design

Vivo X30 Pro is a device with a more advanced design, or at least it has that trending punch-hole display everyone is looking for. Thanks to a front camera placed in a hole inside the display, the phone does not need a notch to provide a high screen-to-body ratio. Both its rivals come with a notch, but this does not mean that they do not offer an amazing design. The Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro is very attractive with its edge-to-edge curved display, while the Oppo Reno Ace has a suggestive glass back. But Vivo X30 Pro is definitely more stylish, at least in my opinion.

Display

Despite it does not have a trendy punch-hole screen, Oppo Reno Ace wins the display comparison because it sports a better panel. It has a very accurate image reproduction thanks to the HDR technology and the full DCI P3 coverage. Further, it provides a 90 Hz refresh rate for smoother user experience. Oppo Reno Ace has the best display, but its rivals still come with awesome panels. The Vivo X30 Pro and the Mi CC9 Pro have a higher brightness as well as the HDR support, but they lack the 90 Hz refresh rate, just like the Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro.

Hardware/Software

Here Oppo Reno Ace takes another gold medal. Thanks to its Snapdragon 855+ chipset, it is one of the most performing smartphones out there. The SoC is paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and UFS 3.0 native storage up to 256 GB. There are only a few smartphones in the whole market that can compete with the Oppo Reno Ace. Right after, we got the Vivo X30 Pro with its Exynos 980. It is a high-end chipset which sits in the middle between Snapdragon 855+ and the Snapdragon 730G found on the Xiaomi Mi Cc9 Pro. Further, while Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro has just 6 GB of RAM, Vivo X30 Pro offers up to 12 GB of RAM. Note that Oppo Reno Ace and Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro do not support 5G, while Vivo X30 Pro is the only which does. In each case, you get a highly-customized version of Android 9 Pie out of the box.

Camera

On the camera side, Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro is definitely more impressive with its 108 MP main sensor and it is one of the best camera phones you can actually get in the Android world. But even the Vivo X30 Pro is awesome at taking photos thanks to its OIS-enabled 64 MP sensor, a 32 MP portrait lens and even a 60x zoom. Oppo Reno Ace is less convincing, but it is still a pretty nice camera phone.

Battery

There is no story: Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro’s battery makes it last a lot longer on a single charge. Right after there is Vivo X30 Pro with a 4350 mAh battery, while Oppo Reno Ace has just 4000 mAh but supports a much faster charging technology with a max power of 65W (the fastest charging technology in the market).

Price

Vivo X30 Pro carries a €510/$567 starting price, Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro costs less than €360/$400, and Oppo Reno Ace starts from about €494/$549. There is not a clear winner on every side: you should go for the Oppo Reno Ace if you are more interested in performance and display, while if you need high-end performance, 5G and a great camera Vivo X30 Pro is better. Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro has a midrange chipset, but it offers the best camera and the biggest battery. Which one would you pick?

The Vivo X30 series launched yesterday in China as the first phones powered by the Exynos 980 5G processor. Both the X30 and X30 Pro come in two variants – 8GB + 128GB and 8GB + 256GB. However, there is a possibility the Vivo X30 Pro may get a 12GB RAM version in the future according to TENAA.

TENAA has published the specs for the Vivo X30 Pro (V1938A and V1938T) and it mentions a 12GB RAM version with 512GB of storage. Since Vivo didn’t unveil a 12GB RAM variant yesterday, it may decide to do so next year. On the other hand, the TENAA listing for the Vivo X30 lists the two variants announced yesterday.

The Vivo X30 Pro has a 6.44-inch Super AMOLED display with a punch hole at the top right corner. The Exynos 980 processor is clocked at 2.2GHz and it draws power from a  4350mAh battery with support for 33W Flash fast Charge.

The phone has a 32MP front-facing camera and a quad-camera setup on the back that includes a 64MP primary camera, an 8MP ultrawide angle camera, a 32MP professional portrait camera and a 13MP periscope lens for up to 5x optical zoom and 60x digital zoom.

The X30 Pro also has liquid cooling, an audio jack, support for NSA and SA 5G networks, NFC, and a USB Type-C port. It runs the new FuntouchOS 10 which is based on Android 9 Pie.

Vivo has put a price tag of ¥3998 (~$573) on the 128GB RAM version while the 256GB version is ¥4298 (~$616). Based on these prices, the 12GB RAM version when launched may as well sell for ¥4998 (~$714).

Vivo has announced two new phones for its X-series line of smartphones. The Vivo X30 and Vivo X30 Pro are both 5G phones and they are the first smartphones to be powered by the Exynos 980 processor.

Design

The Vivo X30 and Vivo X30 Pro largely share a similar design. Both have a punch-hole display with the hole, which measures 2.98mm in diameter, at the top right corner. The phones are covered in glass on both sides and come in the same color variants.

Specifications

The Vivo X30 and Vivo X30 Pro both have a 6.44-inch Super AMOLED display with a 2400 x 1080 resolution. Under the screen is a fingerprint scanner and there is also support for face unlock.

The two phones are the first to be powered by the Exynos 980, Samsung’s first processor with an integrated 5G modem and which was co-developed with Vivo. The octa-core processor which features Cortex-A77 cores is paired with 8GB of RAM on both phones with the option of 128GB or 256GB of storage.

The Exynos 980 modem brings support for SA and NSA networks (n41 and n78 bands) and boasts up to 2.55Gbps in download speeds. There is 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 5.8GHz WiFi; Bluetooth 5.0, NFC, and an audio jack.

Vivo ships both phones with a 4350mAh battery with support for 33W Flash Charge via USB Type-C. Both phones have liquid-cooling to keep the device’s temperature low when performing CPU-intensive tasks. They also run the new FunTouchOS 10 which is disappointingly based on Android 9 Pie and not Android 10. It brings Multi-Turbo 2.5, a revamped UI, dynamic wallpapers, and software optimizations.

The camera specs are what differentiates the Vivo X30 from the Vivo X30 Pro.

Vivo X30 Cameras

The standard version has triple rear cameras – a 64MP f/1.8 camera with a 26.4mm focal length; an 8MP ultrawide angle camera with an f/2.2 aperture, 16mm focal length and a 112° field of view; and a whopping 32MP f/2.0 professional portrait camera with a 50mm focal length.

The phone has Super Night Scene Mode 2.0 which brings multi-frame noise reduction and allows for brighter and more detailed night shots. There is also Backlight-HDR which helps you take better photos irrespective of where the source of light is from.

The X30 has up to 20x zoom and is able to achieve this with the help of an algorithm. Vivo says you can combine the main camera and portrait camera to shoot photos of the moon with rich details. Vivo advises owners to use a combination of the full-moon mode and night mode to achieve this.

Vivo X30 Pro Cameras

The X30 Pro also has a 64MP primary rear camera with the same f/1.8 aperture and 26.4mm focal length. It pairs it with an 8MP f/2.2 ultrawide angle camera with a 122° FOV, and also has a 32MP professional f/2.0 portrait camera with a 50mm focal length. Vivo then rounds it off with a 13MP periscope lens with a 5x optical zoom.

The periscope lens allows the Vivo X30 to offer up to 60x zoom, thrice that of the standard variant. It also has all the other features of the standard variant mentioned above.

Vivo X30 and X30 Pro (5G) Rumor Roundup

Design

Vivo X30 and X30 Pro will offer very attractive aesthetics. Official teasers confirmed that the new series will offer punch-hole displays and a very high screen-to-body ratio. Just like most of the premium smartphones, Vivo X30 and X30 Pro will come with high build quality, so they will sport a glass back and an aluminum frame.

On the rear side, there will be a quad-camera setup with three sensors placed vertically and a fourth sensor on the right of the main camera module. The LED flash will be placed under the fourth camera module which will be a periscope lens.

It will also integrate an in-display fingerprint reader. Thanks to the punch-hole display, the phones will have very narrow bezels without the need for a notch.

Hardware & Software

Vivo X30 and X30 Pro will be the first smartphones equipped with the world’s first processor sporting an integrated 5G modem. We are talking about the Exynos 980 developed jointly by Samsung and Vivo. It supports both SA and NSA connectivity and it can reach download speeds of up to 2.55 Gbps. While using both 4G and 5G dual connectivity, it can be even better as it can reach up to 3.55 Gbps download speeds. Besides 5G, Exynos 980 also supports Wi-Fi 6.

It is a chipset composed of Cortex A77 CPUs and a Mali G76 MP5 GPU, so we are talking about a high-end SoC, in case you missed that. It has an octa-core architecture and it reaches a max frequency of 2.2 GHz. Vivo X30 Pro will be equipped with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage, but we still do not know if there will be other memory configurations. Unfortunately, they are tipped to come with Android 9 Pie in a period in which the most important mainstream brands are launching Android 10-powered smartphones.

The OS will be customized by Funtouch OS. Vivo X30 Pro recently surfaced on AnTuTu benchmark: the phone scored more than 326,000 points in the benchmarking platform. While it is not comparable to the most performing flagships, X30 Pro managed to obtain a pretty nice high-end score. It is a total score superior to every Qualcomm’s midrange chipset, even the new Snapdragon 765G found on the Redmi K30.

Camera

5G and the camera department will be the main features of the Vivo X30 series.

The smartphone will offer up to 60x digital zoom experience. There will be both OIS and EIS for an excellent stabilization.

Vivo’s product line manager Luan Xinlin has published a photo that looks like the night time moon shot captured with the X30 Pro main camera. As you probably know, it is almost impossible to shoot a decent photo to the moon with almost every smartphone out there. But this device does it pretty well. And thanks to its 32 MP lens it will also be able to shoot great portrait shots. The front camera will be a 32 MP sensor.
