For the third month in a row, the best phone in the AnTuTu performance test is the Xiaomi Black Shark 4S Pro . The father of the success of the giant Xiaomi is the Snapdragon 888+ processor and 16 GB of RAM.
Perhaps the list of the most efficient phones in the AnTuTu test would look different if the latest models with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor were taken into account. Unfortunately, due to too little data and too short time from the launch, the latest models with this processor could not yet be included. I wonder what the January comparison will look like when the Motorola Moto Edge X30 , Xiaomi 12 or Xiaomi 12 Pro enters the game . At the moment, the Nubia Red Magic 6S Pro is in second place . There is also Vivo iQOO 8 Pro on the box .
Flagship Android Phones Performance Listing for December 2021 www.antutu.com Vivo iQOO Z5 is the leader among the “middle class” . Honor 60 Pro is second in this classification , and Oppo Reno7 closes the podium . Interestingly, all three of the best mediums have a Snapdragon 778G + processor.
Realme has officially launched the new Realme GT 2 and Realme GT 2 Pro models in China . So we can verify all the data known so far and finally look at the official price list.
How much do Realme GT2 and Realme GT2 Pro cost? Realme GT 2 and Realme GT 2 Pro come in different memory variants. Here is the price list of individual sets:
The smartphone will be available in China first, and local availability in the rest of the world will be announced in the near future. Time to look at the specs.
Realme GT2 The basic Realme GT 2 model is equipped with the 6.62-inch AMOLED E4 display produced by Samsung Display with Full HD + resolution and 120 Hz image refresh rate. The heart of the smartphone is the Snapdragon 888 processor, and the power supply is provided by a 5000 mAh battery with fast 65 W charging. The main camera has a 50-megapixel Sony IMX766 matrix with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) and a size of 1 / 1.56 “. The other photo modules are typical for mid-range smartphones: 8-megapixel wide-angle module and 2 Mpx for macro, as well as 16-megapixel front camera The Realme GT 2 measures 162.9 x 75.8 x 8.6 mm and weighs 199.8 g. operating Android 12 with the proprietary Realme UI 3.0 interface.
Realme GT2 Pro In Realme GT 2 Pro we find exactly the same system platform. And what else? The same battery as in the base model – 5000 mAh with 65 W charging – but of course there will also be differences. Among them, for example, the AMOLED E4 LTPO display – also from Samsung – but with a diagonal of 6.7 inches, 2K resolution and 120 Hz refresh rate. The processor is also more powerful – Snapdragon 8 Gen1 – as well as the selfie camera – 32 Mpx. There are also changes for the better in the rear camera. In addition to the 50 Mpx matrix with OIS, known from the base model, there is a 50-megapixel JN1, 1 / 2.76 inch in size, with a wide-angle lens with a record-wide field of view – 150 degrees. There is also a “microscope” camera next to it, which gives a 40-fold magnification from a distance of 4.7 cm. In the case of Realme GT2 Pro the dimensions will be 163.2×74.7×8.18 mm, and the weight will be invariably 189 g. The Japanese stylist Naoto Fukusawa, who has been working with Realme for a long time, is responsible for the designs of both models.
Vivo Y21T has been officially launched. The smartphone made its debut in the Indonesian market.
The specification of the Vivo Y21T is not a big surprise – we already got to know it from unofficial sources and we know that the Vivo Y21T is actually a slightly modified version of Vivo Y33S that we have known for several months. Only a few key elements have been replaced, such as the processor, display and selfie camera. So what does the Vivo Y21T offer?
The manufacturer said that Vivo Y21T has a Snapdragon 680 processor, combined with 6 GB of operating memory, along with a Virtual RAM solution that allows you to expand this memory by 2 GB, at the expense of data memory. This, in turn, has a capacity of 128 GB – and the possibility of enlargement with a microSD card.
The smartphone display has a diagonal of 6.51 inches, HD + resolution, LCD technology and a droplet notch for an 8-megapixel selfie camera (f / 1.8). The rear camera is 50-megapixel (f / 1.8) and supported by two 2-megapixel cameras for macro and background blurring (f / 2.4). The smartphone also has a minijack, triple card slot (2x nanoSIM and microSD) or a side fingerprint reader, but it is not equipped with NFC (at least in Indonesia). Everything is managed by the Android 11 system with the Funtouch OS 12 overlay,
Realme is holding premieres in January and February 2022. Reports say that the company will launch Realme 9i, Realme 9 Pro and Realme 9 Pro +.
Realme 9i has already made its debut in the store, although not entirely in an official way. A popular trading platform published the data of the smartphone before the manufacturer announced the date of its premiere.
We learned that Realme 9i will have a 6.59-inch Full HD + display, a Snapdragon 680 processor and 4 GB of RAM and 128 GB of flash memory. It will also receive a 5000 mAh battery, 33 W charging, a mini-jack, a microSD card slot, stereo speakers and a side fingerprint reader. The rear camera will be equipped with a main 50-megapixel matrix, a wide-angle 8 Mpx and 2 Mpx module for macro or background, while the selfie camera will have a resolution of 16 Mpx. Today, through The Pixel, we learned that Realme 9i will debut on January 10th. We have a neat render for the Vietnamese branch of the company , which you can see above.
This smartphone series will attract users who play multimedia contents, play games and love to do photography. This chipset has been designed for 4G platform. Users in Pakistan and India will love these smartphones. Qualcom says this chipset improves battery performance by 20%.
In turn, in February – as predicted by 91mobiles – we will get to know the Realme 9 Pro and Realme 9 Pro + models. Their full specifications are not yet known, but they will certainly be smartphones that support 5G and equipped with large batteries with fast charging. It is predicted that on board they will find the MeediaTek Dimensity 810 and Dimensity 920 processor, as well as quad cameras, although no breakthrough solutions in this field should be expected.
Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus and iPhone X Samsung has big plans for 2022. You want to really show Apple and put your biggest competitor in their place. The “Tiger” strategy is to be used for this. Each letter has its own meaning.
Samsung wants to beat Apple with Tiger strategy Already in the run-up to CES 2022 in Las Vegas, around 40 Samsung managers met and decided on plans for the future of the group. 2022 is the year of the tiger and so “tiger” has been chosen as a strategy. The letters each have a special meaning:
So Samsung wants to be the real number one in all product categories in which the South Korean company is active . In addition, they want to gain more market share in the market for flagship smartphones and reduce the gap with Apple. Further expansion is also planned in many product categories, such as headphones, in order to achieve a record year overall (source: The Korea Herald ).
According to the leading managers, Samsung wants to develop from a smartphone manufacturer to a provider of intelligent products . You don’t want to be a technology brand, you want to be a company loved by young people that offers innovative experiences.
Samsung Galaxy S21 FE presented Samsung is merging departments A few weeks ago it was already apparent that a major upheaval was taking place at Samsung. The departments for smartphones, televisions and household appliances have been merged so that we can better develop new products together. This year we will probably only see from the middle of the year whether the new Tiger strategy and the merging of the departments have a positive effect. This will probably not have any effect on the Galaxy S22. This is expected as early as February 2022 and has been in development for months.

There is a fierce competition among the smartphone companies to launch smartphones in the budget range segment. We recently saw 5 different variants of Redmi 9 series, 6 variants of Realme C series. There prices are within 10 thousand rupees.
Infinix Hot 10S is also the new smartphone in this range. Specifications of Infinix smartphones tell that the company is offering premium devices in budget range. But it also has some shortcomings, which can be improved. I have been using Infinix smartphones for a long time and found devices impressive and robust. I use all kinds of apps. Such as my exchange emails, streaming services and other utilities.
The Hot 10S is made entirely of plastic and you will get to see the unique diamond cut flow pattern design used on the back panel. The company has sent Morandi Blue color variant to us, which may not be said to be very attractive in appearance, but definitely okay. The phone weighs 200 grams feels heavy to hold as it is also 9mm wide.
Both the power button and volume rocker have been placed on the right hand so that they can be used easily. The fingerprint scanner is at the back. It has dedicated slots for a micro SD card and dual 4G SIM card slots. The worst thing about this smartphone is that it still offers the same old-fashioned micro USB charging port, which comes with a basic 10W charger. Whereas, now smartphones are being launched in the market with fast charging and Type-C. The biggest thing about this smartphone is that you get not one but two LED flashes on the front panel.
Performance
The biggest identity of any smartphone is its performance and if a smartphone coming under 10 thousand rupees comes with tremendous performance, then the matter is different.
In Infinix Hot 10S comes with 4GB and 6GB of RAM, which includes 64GB of internal storage. This smartphone has the latest Mediatek Helio G85 processor, which is an upgraded version of the G70 itself. This means you will get a strong processor in this budget smartphone. The display with a refresh rate of 90Hz is impressive and seems quite fast. You can move between application smoothly. Normal smartphone users use basic applications.
The impressive specifications of this smartphone offers good gaming experience to gamers.
Game lovers have played Call of duty for hours and did not experience any problem.
In Hot 10S comes with a 6.82-inch LCD display which offers 720 pixels resolution and 440 nits brightness. You will not experience any problem in brightness levels even outside the house in strong sunlight. I watched some series on OTT platform in which I didn’t get very good experience, but it doesn’t disappoint you either. Apart from this, this phone comes with Widevine L3 certification, so you have to face some problems in watching Netflix or Prime Video, that is, the pixels of the video content start bursting because this smartphone is not able to stream in full 720 pixels. although, If you pay attention to other smartphones in this segment, then you will see the same problem in them. Apart from this, the performance of the speakers will also be fine. The single speaker below doesn’t have bass, so you’ll need a Bluetooth headphone or earphones with a 3.5mm jack for better audio.
Software
In Infinix Hot 10s comes Android 11 as well as XOS 7.6 software. Due to this, now its UI looks very clean and good. Not only this, it also does not get to see a dozen pre-installed games like before, which we are often seeing in other Infinix phones. However, there are still some pre-installed apps in it, which are from Infinix and you cannot uninstall them. However, these apps don’t bother you that much. In this my favorite feature was XOS which is ‘Thunderback’. As fancy as its name is, it is also useful. In this case, you can open the floating window automatically by double tapping on the fingerprint sensor. In this, its UI looks very nice and easy. All these popular apps work with YouTube, Instagram, Whatsapp and Chrome so that is great.
Battery is good then charging is bad
The Hot 10S packs a 6,000 mAh battery which has become a standard in almost all smartphones in this segment. But yes, if seen, you get a strong battery in it. You can easily use it for two days. At the same time, after a single charge, you can watch videos or play games in it for 8 hours continuously. Overall, after charging once, even if you do many things in your phone, it will run smoothly for a day. As mentioned earlier, there is a 10W charger, so it takes up to 4 hours to charge from 0 to 100%. That is, it is one of those smartphones that you charge at night and use it throughout the day. If the company had given a little fast charging with C-type port in it, it would have been a great smartphone.
How strong is the camera?
The Hot 10S sports a triple rear camera, but you seem to be using only one camera and it’s 48 MP sensor, which takes pixel-bind photos by default of 12 MP. There is also a depth sensor which is still being measured and the third camera is with AI lens. Big scientists of the world are also trying to find out that what does this work? But to be honest, I find this to be a gimmick that Infinix is using to fool people. It doesn’t have any ultrawide lens. It also has a selfie camera which is of 8MP. There is a dedicated LED flash for selfie. The low-light photography of both the front and rear cameras is best in class. The rear camera can do a little better, especially when you are clicking and cropping photos in a wide range.
Talking about the color science of Infinix, a lot of improvement is needed here too, because mostly you will not find natural colors in it and you also get to see dull human skin tone. Portrait mode also doesn’t work so well. Overall, the Hot 10s is not a smartphone with a better camera performance in this segment.
The price of 4GB / 64GB storage variant of Infinix Hot 10S is INR9,999 and to be honest, if you are buying this smartphone in terms of camera or watching videos then do not buy at all. But yes, if you are buying a cheap gaming smartphone and want a little better performance then you can buy it. You also get good battery backup in this. In this smartphone, you definitely get the benefit of Social Turbo features with XOS.
