    Samsung’s 64 MP Sensor To Debut In A Redmi Smartphone

    Samsung announced the 64 MP camera sensor for smartphones last month. It holds the records the record for the highest resolution mobile camera sensor ever made. While it was being speculated that the first device to sport the sensor would be a Samsung handset, presumably the Galaxy A70s; fresh reports claim otherwise. Popular gadget tipster Ice Universe has claimed on the Chinese social networking website Weibo; that the first smartphone with Samsung’s 64 MP ISOCELL GW1 sensor will belong to Xiaomi’s subsidiary Redmi.

    The tipster claims that as mentioned above, the first smartphone with Samsung’s flagship 64 MP sensor will be a Redmi device. He further adds that while the international premiere of the sensor will still belong to a Samsung handset, an A series one to be precise; the first Chinese smartphone, and presumably the world’s first to sport the sensor will not be the company’s own. While other details about the Redmi device are not known at the moment, the handset may be introduced in the following weeks. This may be followed by the International release of the purported Galaxy A70s with the ISOCELL GW1 sensor.

    Samsung introduced the ISOCELL GW1 sensor in the aforementioned month of May. It features an 0.8-micrometre pixel size, which is claimed to be one of the smallest in the world. The smartphone camera sensor is capable of pixel binning, which means that four pixels will get merged into one to result in a 16 MP resolution image. This is similar to how the 48 MP sensors like the Sony IMX586 and Samsung ISOCELL GM1 work. Notably, Xiaomi was one of the first company’s to release a smartphone with a 48 MP Samsung sensor in the Chinese version of the Redmi Note 7 back in the month of January.

    Redmi devices hold the status of being some of the most popular smartphones in the market, and Xiaomi has found a lot of success in the hands of Redmi devices. The company is known to launch smartphones with segment-disruptive specifications while keeping the prices budget aggressive. Recently, the Chinese manufacturer launched the Redmi Note 7 Pro smartphone with a 48MP camera, which received rave reviews worldwide. As per latest news, the company has decided to terminate support for older devices.

    Which Devices Will Be Affected?

    The Chinese technology company believes that this step will be a major part of executing the brand’s overall strategy. Furthermore, the Xiaomi states that cutting off future updates will ensure the stability of older devices. The list of the devices which will be a part of this step are listed below:

    The company adds that its present devices won’t be affected because of this strategy. The fact that the company is terminating support to its older devices indicates towards the underlying theory that even though Xiaomi is known to tweak its MIUI to provide the most recent updates on the older generation of devices, there comes a time that the smartphone’s hardware may become obsolete. Consequently, such a situation may lead to degradation of user experience on that particular device, which is definitely not the aim of any smartphone brand.

  • Samsung Galaxy M30 Vs Redmi Note 7 Pro Comparison

    Samsung Galaxy M30 Vs Redmi Note 7 Pro Comparison

    Samsung launched the Galaxy M30 on 27th of February in India which was soon followed by the Redmi’s Note 7 Pro. Both newly smartphones are packed with features and carry a lucrative price tag. In this article, we will put both smartphones against each other and discuss their features in detail. 

    Display:

    The Samsung Galaxy M30 sports a 6.4 inch Super AMOLED display while the Redmi Note 7 Pro sports a 6.3 inch LCD display which is safeguarded with Corning Gorilla Glass 5. The Galaxy M30’s display has a pixel density of 394 ppi whereas the Note 7 Pro’s display has a higher pixel density of 409 ppi. Nevertheless, the variation between the ppi is virtually unnoticeable due to the meagre difference. However, Note 7 Pro’s LCD display is no match for M30’s Super AMOLED panel which has better colour reproduction.  

    Chipset: 

    The Samsung Galaxy M30 is kitted with the Exynos 7904 SoC which is designed and manufactured by Samsung. On the other hand, the Redmi Note 7 Pro packs the Snapdragon 675 SoC. The chipsets on both smartphones are comprised of an Octa-Core CPU however their innards are entirely different. The Exynos 7904 has two Kryo 260 Gold cores and six Kryo 260 Silver cores while the Snapdragon 675 has four Kryo 460 cores and four Kryo 460 Silver cores. Even though performance on the Galaxy M30 is honourable, the Exynos 7904 is secondary to Redmi Note 7 Pro’s Snapdragon 675. Furthermore, the Snapdragon 675 is manufactured using 11 nm fabrication technology and the Exynos 7904 is manufactured using 14 nm fabrication technology.

    Camera:

    Front facing selfie camera on both the Galaxy M30 and Redmi Note 7 Pro are housed in the notch above the display. The former has a 16 MP selfie camera while the latter has a 13 MP sensor. On paper, the Galaxy M30 is ahead of the Note 7 Pro in this department. Talking about the rear cameras, the M30 has triple sensors while the Note 7 Pro only has two. The Galaxy M30’s rear camera setup consists of 13 MP PDAF sensor, 5 MP ultrawide sensor and a 5 MP depth sensor. In contrast, Redmi Note 7 Pro’s rear camera setup consists of a 48 MP sensor and a 5 MP depth sensor. Though, the latter loses out in number it makes up for lost ground in terms of composition. The 48 MP rear camera on the Note 7 Pro is the Sony IMX586 sensor which is seen on high end devices like the Honor View 20.  However, it is noteworthy that by default the Note 7 Pro’s camera captures 12 MP resolution photos to conserve storage. Additionally, social media platforms including Snapchat and Facebook compress images to a great extent. Therefore, final results from both smartphones will be comparable if not equivalent. Though full resolution images captured on Note 7 Pro will undoubtedly outperform images captured on Galaxy M30 when viewed on a large screen high definition display. 

    Battery and Charging Speed:

    The Samsung Galaxy M30 is powered by a massive 5,000 mAh battery while the Note 7 Pro is powered by a 4,000 mAh powerhouse. Even though the Galaxy M30 packs a larger battery, the 11 nm based Snapdragon 675 chipset on the Note 7 Pro consumes less power and strives to make up for a smaller battery. Furthermore, the Note 7 Pro supports 18 W fast charging while the M30 supports 15 W fast charge. Pleasantly, Samsung ships its device with a 15 watt fast charger whereas the Redmi Note 7 Pro is shipped with a 10 watt traditional charger. 

    Storage Options, Expandability and Price:

    Both the Samsung Galaxy M30 and Redmi Note 7 Pro are available in two storage variants which include 4 GB RAM plus 64 GB ROM and 6 GB RAM plus 128 GB ROM. Both devices also support memory expansion via a microSD card. Distinctively, the Galaxy M30 supports microSD cards of upto 512 GB while the Redmi Note 7 Pro only supports card of upto 256 GB. Furthermore, the Galaxy M30 has a dedicated slot for the microSD card whereas the Note 7 Pro uses SIM slot 2 for memory expansion. The price for different variants of the handsets are as follows:

    • Samsung Galaxy M30 (4 GB + 64 GB) – Rs. 14,990
    • Samsung Galaxy M30 (6 GB + 128 GB) – Rs. 17,990
    • Redmi Note 7 Pro (4 GB + 64 GB) – Rs 13,999
    • Redmi Note 7 Pro (6 GB + 128 GB) – Rs 16,999
    Design and Software:

    Both Samsung Galaxy M30 and Note 7 Pro have a plastic chassis with a waterdrop notch display. Though the bezels around the display are slightly thinner on the M30. The rear panel of the Galaxy M30 is made out of plastic while the Note 7 Pro has a Corning Gorilla Glass 5 back panel. Placement of ports and connectors on both devices is alike. The right side of both smartphones is occupied by volume rockers and power button while the bottom side of both handsets accommodates the USB Type-C port, 3.5 mm jack and loudspeaker grille. Both devices also have a rear mounted fingerprint sensor and also support facial recognition. In terms of software, the Galaxy M30 runs on the older Android 8.1 Oreo OS which is skinned with Samsung’s custom UI. Inversely, the Note 7 Pro runs on the latest Android 9.0 Pie which as well is skinned with the company’s custom MIUI.

  • Xiaomi To Launch A Flagship Redmi Smartphone With Snapdragon 855 SoC

    Xiaomi To Launch A Flagship Redmi Smartphone With Snapdragon 855 SoC

    Earlier this year, Xiaomi corporation announced the separation of Redmi smartphone lineup as an independent sub-brand. The significant difference between smartphones from the two brands is that Redmi smartphones use less-expensive components and thus are more cost-effective.

    A Weibo post (see source below) shared by a senior Xiaomi executive reveals interesting information about two upcoming Redmi smartphones. The post exhibits that the company is looking forward to launching the Redmi Note 7 Pro. Surprisingly, the post also states that the company is developing a flagship smartphone that will feature the latest Snapdragon 855 SoC. There is no information available about the Redmi flagship but past rumours suggest it will be called the Redmi X. 

    Redmi X Expectations

    Albeit there are no details available about the Redmi X, being a flagship device it is expected to pack high-end specifications. The smartphone is assumed to have a notch display larger than 6-inch and battery capacity upwards of 4,000 mAh. Even though the price of the upcoming device is unavailable it is expected to be priced aggressively. 

    Note 7 Pro Features

    As the name suggests, the Note 7 Pro is a specced up variant of the Redmi Note 7 which was launched earlier this year. Redmi has confirmed that the upcoming smartphone will feature a 48 MP rear camera sensor like its younger sibling. But, the upcoming device will get the Sony IMX586 sensor which is seen on high-end devices like the Honor View20.

    A leak shared on a Chinese social media website claims that the Note 7 Pro will be kitted with the Snapdragon 675 SoC which is a significant upgrade over Note 7’s Snapdragon 660. Other specifications like screen size and battery capacity of the upcoming device are expected to be the same as Redmi Note 7.
