Another week is over, so let’s look at the great stories she brought. This one was hectic. Our main story was a drop test, featuring the Galaxy S21 Ultra and the iPhone 12 Pro Max. Neither came out beautiful, so maybe don’t watch it if you have a weak heart.
We have seen a few deep dives in the Galaxy S21 Ultra. We took an in-depth look at the new Exynos 2100 chipset, its power consumption and performance compared to last year’s Snapdragon 888 and Exynos 990. The bottom line is that the Snapdragon 888 is a bit more efficient in the way it delivers its power, but can lead to more heat, while the Exynos 2100 is a big step up from its predecessor.
Another article compared the Galaxy S21 Ultra’s OLED display to its predecessors in the Galaxy S20 Ultra and Galaxy Note20 Ultra. The new panel is much more efficient when displaying content, consuming less power while providing higher brightness.
Xiaomi is now making it more difficult to download and install Google Mobile Services on its Chinese phones. Previously, it was a simple procedure to get GMS on non-GMS Xiaomi phones destined for China, leading many people to buy them cheaper and import them to their country. The company later clarified that the change would only affect some of its phones without giving detailed listings.
The Sony Xperia 1 III leaked again this week. We saw the phone in a 360 video, but unfortunately we didn’t gain significant insight into its internal components.
A Poco X3 Pro is coming, according to several certifications. We don’t know much about it yet. It will boot MIUI 12 and offer dual band Wi-Fi and NFC connection. LTE will be supported, but 5G will not.
The Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite will come with a 5x zoom camera and a new Snapdragon chipset – SM7350. Rumor has it that this is a future Snapdragon 755G. The Mi 11 Lite will have a 64 MP main camera, instead of the 108 MP on the Mi 11.
We saw the upcoming Oppo Find X3 series in a picture. The lineup will include the Find X3 Pro 5G, Find X3 Neo 5G, and Find X3 Lite 5G, the latter being a renamed Reno4 5G. Another leak revealed some details about the Find X3 Pro. It will have a Snapdragon 888 and a 6.7-inch QHD + OLED with variable refresh rate – 10Hz-120Hz. There is some debate over the cameras – some rumors point to two 50 MP Sony IMX766 sensors, while this week’s leak pointed to a 16 MP camera, which could be the pixel count, suggesting a 64 camera. MP.
