  • Realme C3 launched in Thailand with rear Fingerprint Sensor

    Realme C3 launched in Thailand with rear Fingerprint Sensor

    Shenzhen-based Chinese smartphone manufacturer Realme has launched C3. It is the sibling with the same appellation that the company launched in India some time ago. But the siblings differ from each other in terms of configuration, specifications, and price in both countries. In India, Realme launched C3 under the tag of ‘Budget Phone,’ while in Thailand, they haven’t attached any such label. In the Thai variant, internal features, camera, fingerprint sensor, memory options are upscaled.

    Realme C3 launched in Thailand with rear Fingerprint Sensor

    Realme C3 Phone Specifications

    Although Thailand’s variant has few commonalities with the Indian version. It comprises a MediaTek Helio G70 SoC CPU, a 6.52- inch screen, as well as a 5,000 mAh battery. However, the differences are that there’s a third camera, along with a fingerprint sensor.

      • The unique feature of the Thai version is the triple rear camera. It has a 12 MP primary sensor, 2 MP macro lens, and 2 MP depth sensor.
      • Aperture f/1.8 is quite an impressive up-gradation along with 4x electronic zoom. As far as the front camera is concerned, there’s no upgrade from the Indian variant.
      • It is the same 5 MP camera with charm and HDR option having an aperture of f/2.4.
      • MediaTek Helio G70 SoC is an Arm cortex A75 CPU with 2 GHZ and A55 single octa-core clusters.
      • It comprises a dedicated Camera Control Unit (CCU), RSC, and EIS features.

    These features specifically improve the video recording performances up to 240fps. As evident, MediaTek Helio G70 and triple camera in the C3 device suit each other well.

    Apart from camera support, G70 SoC also has exciting features such as Accelerated positioning, Dual 4G VoLTE supporting 802.11 connectivity. It certainly improves the phone’s performance over Wi-Fi and high internet speed. G70 provides Integrated voice backup and fast AI-performance, which puts the mobile in competition with other gaming smartphones.

    The most attractive addition is the rear-mounted fingerprint sensor, which wasn’t present in the Indian version. On the software aspect, the smartphone comes with Android 10 with Realme UI 1.0.

    In terms of memory, Realme has launched it with 2 GB, 3 GB, 4 GB, and 8 GB RAM options. Also, there are 32 GB & 64 GB of storage capacity options. The 5000 mAh battery supports reverse charging technology. The whole world is marching towards the USB Type-C charging port. But Realme has continued with USB 2.0 port only.

    Realme C3 Price and Launch Date

    In India, Realme launched it as a budget phone at Rs 6, 999. In Thailand, they’ve launched Thai siblings at THB 3,999 (equivalent to Rs 9,100). With the addition of such interesting features, the new Thai Price seems pretty fair and still holds a good deal. It is available in the Thai online market via Shopee and Lazada from February 20, 2020.

    However, this is the price for only the most-basic variant i.e., 32 GB storage with 3 GB RAM. The smartphone maker has not yet revealed the price of other high-end variants. Notably, Realme has launched C3 in Frozen Blue and Blazing Red colors with backside sunrise design.

  • Redmi K20 Pro Review

    Redmi K20 Pro Review

    The recently revealed Redmi K20 Pro, otherwise known as Mi 9T Pro, is basically the successor to the wildly popular Pocophone F1 by Xiaomi. The regular variant of the smartphone did quite well as well with a good screen, a reasonable battery, and a nice camera. However, it could have had better performance. This is exactly where the Pro version of the phone enters the game. The newer model has a flagship Snapdragon 855 chip, a good upgrade from the Snapdragon 730 that Redmi K20 had. The Redmi K20 Pro runs on the Poco launcher 2 based on MIUI 10 with Android Pie core.

    Mi 9T Pro
    Mi 9T Pro

    The Xiaomi Redmi K20 Pro/Mi 9T Pro has a 6.39″ notch-less Super AMOLED screen protected by Gorilla Glass 5. The 20MP selfies camera is housed behind the pop-up module. This is the latest solution for the notch issue and is being followed by many manufacturers. The rear camera module has a 48MP f/1.8 primary, an 8MP f/2.4 telephoto, and a 13MP f/2.4 ultrawide arrangement. It offers excellent value for money with an amazing processor, a splendid camera, and all the other features we take for granted on a flagship. It doesn’t hurt that is it affordable as well.

    Design

    The Redmi K20 and Mi 9T phones are designed to look extraordinary while featuring amazing specs. The smartphone boasts of an immersive screen with a durable body. The notch-less AMOLED, called by Xiaomi as Horizon AMOLED, makes for a great look. The pop-up selfie camera is the solution to a notch-less display. Now, the K20 Pro users will be able to enjoy using the 6.39″ Samsung-made OLED screen with 1080p resolution without any distraction.

    The phone also features an under-display optical fingerprint reader at the bottom. It is reliable, accurate, and super-fast. The pop-up camera lights up in red as it comes up, making it appear very stylish. The pop-up contains the LED notification lighting. The back of the device contains the same texture as that of the all-Kevlar Pocophone, but it is a mix of gradient hues and patterns. The Xiaomi Redmi K20 Pro/Mi 9T Pro comes with a loudspeaker, a USB-C port, SIM/microSD card, and of course, the 3.5mm audio jack.

    Display

    The Redmi K20 Pro has a 6.39″ Super AMOLED screen that is fully made by Samsung. You may notice that the rounded corners eat up the pixels a bit. The resolution is 2,340 x 1,080 pixels with a 19.5:9 screen aspect ratio. It is one of the most common screens in the market, regardless of the notch’s presence. It covers the DCI-P3 colour space and is completely shielded by a Gorilla Glass 5.

    Redmi K20 Pro Review
    Redmi K20 Pro Review

    With regards to the brightness, the screen’s OLED panel is about 450 nits. It can reach 643 nits in bright light, exceeding the company’s word of 600 nits. The minimum brightness is quite impressive. With pure white colour, it was 2.2 nits. Users can make use of the three contrast settings offered by Xiaomi – default, warm, cool. The standard contrast is as per RGB with an excellent setting for colour accuracy.

    Battery Life

    The Redmi K20 Pro is supported by a 4,000mAh Li-ion battery. It has a Quick Charge feature as well. Thanks to the 18W charger, the phone’s battery can reach 50% in just 30 mins. A full charge, on the other hand, will take about 100 minutes. The screen-on times are quite high and the phone offers nearly 20 hours in video playback. The standby was better with the Mi 9T/K20 variant than on the Pro model, but then the chipset is less power efficient as well.

    Android 9 Pie, MIUI 10.3, and Poco launcher 2.0

    The Xiaomi K20 Pro and Mi 9T Pro smartphone run on MIUI 10.3 ROM based on Android 9 Pie. One difference is that the K20 Pro comes with Poco launcher 2.0 pre-installed. It supports the Always-on display and you can choose if you want to enable, disable, or schedule it. There are also plenty of themes that you are likely to fall in love with. The launch adds a feature-rich app drawer.

    Audio, Video, and Speakers Quality

    The Redmi K20 Pro smartphone has a single bottom-firing loudspeaker which is quite loud. The output is appreciable at its rich sound, high volume, and detail. It also performed well with an active external amplifier by being extra clear at a very high volume. While the headphone was not nearly as awesome, the accuracy was good enough.

    With regards to the video, the smartphone cam captures video up to 4K @ 60fps. Unfortunately, not all the camera can capture the video. You cannot use the ultrawide snapper for shooting in 4K @60fps. The 2X zoom toggle cannot switch to the telephoto camera at all, meaning you will have to stick to the main camera. The video is sharp, clear, and quite detailed, with no cause for concern.

    Camera Quality

    The Redmi K20 Pro or Mi 9T Pro have the triple-camera at the rear. The main camera has a 1/2″ 48MP sensor with f/1.75 26mm lens that takes 12MP pictures. Other sensors are 8MP (1/4″) telephoto snapper with f/2.4 52mm lens for 2x optical zoom and a 13MP (1/3″) sensor with an f/2.4 15mm lens for ultra-wide-angle shots. The primary sensor here is the Sony IMX 586 while the older one had the IMX 582. While both of them are pretty similar in most respect, the IMX 586 can take 4K video capturing at 60fps.

    Redmi K20 Pro Camera
    Redmi K20 Pro Camera

    The 48MP main sensor has a Quad-Bayer colour filter which basically combines four pixels to help capture more light and reduce noise. The selfie camera is a 20MP one on a motorized pop-up module. The pictures are sharp, detailed, and rich in colours. Unfortunately, there is no autofocus available here. Despite the lack of a depth sensor, the camera takes pretty good pics with blurred backgrounds.

    Verdict

    Xiaomi’s latest Redmi K20 Pro / Mi 9T Pro smartphone is one of the best releases this year. While it is not called a Pocophone, it features everything and more than the phone would have. Redmi K20 Pro is what the phone is called in India while the other regions know it as Mi 9T Pro.

    How To Save Battery On Samsung Galaxy S10e, S10 And S10+

    Samsung devices are not really known for their battery lives. Smartphones, such as Galaxy S10 and Galaxy Note 9 take a lot of time to charge up. Another issue is that they also tend to use up the battery quite soon. This is all the more true if you have enabled other features of the phone. However, if you know some tricks, you can save battery and extend its life.

    #1 Night Mode

    A good thing to do would be to enable the Night Mode. Since the Galaxy S10 series uses Super AMOLED displays, you can easily use it to achieve longer battery life. One excellent way would be to enable the system-wide dark mode. Since the Light Mode uses more pixels, it uses up more battery. Besides this, you can also choose to get AMOLED wallpaper apps that help you save battery while looking ultra-cool.
