Infinix Note 5 Stylus performance, battery life and camera

Infinix Note 5 Stylus smartphone did not slow down during multitasking and navigation between the menu. The fingerprint sensor given for security in the phone also works fast. The company has given Google Smart Unlock support instead of giving its own face unlock software. It is the stylus that makes this device different from Infinix Note 5.

Styles proved quite useful for notes and sketching. The thing to note here is that if you keep the styles out of the phone for a long time, then you will get a pop-up reminder. The company has given the Xpen app in the phone. The app can be easily opened with the help of buttons on the styles. For the information of the people, let us know that the photo can be clicked on the styles present in Samsung Galaxy Note 9, but this feature is not provided in the styles given in Infinix Note 5.

Now talk about benchmark score. Note 5 Stylus has scored 84,828 and PCmark Work 2.0 in Antootu Benchmark. In Geekbench’s single and multi-core tests, the smartphone has scored 832 and 3,509 respectively. Nokia 6.1 Plus, Motorola One Power available at the same price (Review) And Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 (Review) Compared to Note 5 styles scored lower.

In our HD video loop test, the phone supported us for 13 hours and 37 minutes. Recall that, Infinix Note 5 gave a backup of 9 hours and 40 minutes. With the help of 18 watts of charger found with the phone, the battery of the phone is charged up to 42 percent from the zero in half an hour. PUBG Mobile can be played on medium graphics settings.

The camera performance in low-light is not very good and after clicking the picture, the grains are seen in it. Both primary and selfie camera are capable of recording video at 1080 pixels, but you will not get video stabilization support in the phone.

Our decision

Being part of Android One Program, Infinix Note 5 Stylus is guaranteed to receive software and security updates regularly. Vivid display of the phone is quite good and its styles also proved to be quite useful. In the phone, you will get styles like Samsung Galaxy Note Series. But if you are not fond of using styles, then in the budget of up to Rs 15,000, you have Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2, Realme U1 (Review) Like the best smartphone options will be found.

If seen, this year has been silent for Micromax. Now the company has made a comeback with the new Infinity ‘N’ series. Micromax has made part of its portfolio of the most important trend of 2018 through Infinity N11 and Infinity N12. Both Micromax’s new smartphones come with Nokia, extremely thin bezel and AI feature. Micromax Infinity N11 and Micromax Infinity N12 smartphones are equipped with two rear cameras, 4000 mAh battery and out of box Android 8.1 Oreo.

Micromax co-founder Vikas Jain said at the launch event that the company has been trying to keep these handsets in the budget range. Micromax Infinity N12 Rs 9,999 and Micromax Infinity N11 Will be sold for Rs 8,999. The sale of both smartphones will start from 25 December in important offline and online stores. At the launch event, we spent some time with both Micromax smartphones. At first glance, how did we find these smartphones? Let’s know …

Infinity N11 and Infinity N12 are mainly made with plastic. The phone looks the same to a great extent. Both phones have power and volume buttons on the right side. Their position is good and gives good feedback. The phone has micro-USB port and headphone jacks at the bottom. Sim trays are on top. These include two slots for Nano SIM and separate slots for microSD cards.

Both phones easily fit the hand due to curved edges. Despite having a 4000 mAh battery, both phones are not too much weighty. By the way, it is too early to hear a final decision on build quality. But according to us, the phone looks a bit cheaper than the phone already sold in the market.

Micromax Infinity N12 comes with a backpanel glossy finish. It is reflective and easily remains fingerprint on it. The phone will come in blue lagoon, velvet red and viola gradients finish. All three variants come with gradients finish. In comparison, Infinity N11 is equipped with mats backpanels. You in this phone Honor 8x ,Review) Will remember.

Micromax Infinity N11 and Infinity N12 have 6.19 inch HD+ (720×1500 pixels) displays. These are equipped with 18.9: 9 aspect ratios. In a short time spent with the handset, we felt that both phones liked the brightness and color randation. But HD+ resolution disappointed. Because of this, text and photos did not look perfect.

Both smartphones are equipped with MediaTek Helio P22 processor. Infinity N12 has 3 GB RAM and Infinity N11 has 2 GB RAM. Helio P22 processor is made from 12 Nm process. Micromax has claimed that it has worked in partnership with MediaTek to improve the performance of both phones.

On the performance of the phone, we will explain in the review in detail. But at first glance we are satisfied with the phone. However, only 2 GB RAM in Infinity N11 is not good news for multitasking. However, the final decision on this will be given in the review.

Both smartphones run on Android 8.1 Oreo, which Micromax has slightly customized. The user interface is very smooth. Micromax has promised that Android Pie update will be done for both smartphones in the next 45 days.

Both smartphones are equipped with 32 GB storage. You will be able to use microSD cards up to 128 GB. Micromax has also made big claims about the battery of both phones, which will be investigated during the review.

Infinity N11 and Infinity N12 come with AI innted rear camera. They will be able to decide brightness, contrast and selection on their own.

Both phones are equipped with 13+5 megapixel dual rear camera setup. Infinity N11 has an 8 -megapixel selfie camera and has a 16 -megapixel selfie shooter in Infinity N12. In the camera app, you will find in mode like beauty, bokeh, panorama and time laps.

It will not be easy for Micromax to get back the old credit once again in the market. But the company’s co-founder told Gadgets 360 that he was ready for a long race. Through Infinity N11 and Infinity N12, Micromax has introduced a strong challenge. Sadly, there is no unique feature in these phones. If seen, brands like Asus, Realme, Honor and Xiaomi have launched very strong products in the price range of Rs 10,000. In such a situation, the road is not easy for Micromax.

We will soon come with a detailed review of Micromax Infinity N11 and Micromax Infinity N12.

The use of number and decimal in the name of HMD Global’s phone was already about to confuse. Now the situation with Nokia 8.1 has become even more difficult. By the name it seems that it should be more premium than Nokia 8 or Nokia 8 Sirocco. But the new Nokia 8.1 handset is a premium model for those who do not want to spend much money. Today’s date is going on a very interesting race to increase its share in the market. Therefore, you will find many such phones in the price range of Rs 20,000, which were not expected a year ago.

However, the price of premium phones is also decreasing. We have Poco F1, Asus Zenfone 5Z And three rear cameras Samsung Galaxy A7 For example, there are phones, which come with a flagship grade feature in a price range of Rs 30,000. Is HMD Global’s decision to bring a new Nokia 8.1 handset in this price range right? Let’s know …

Nokia 8.1 Design

Nokia 8.1 Makes you feel big and weighty. This is due to the styling of HMD global and the material used in making this phone. The body of Nokia 8.1 is made of solid aluminum. There is glass on the front and backpanel. You have two options of colors- blue/ silver and iron/ steel. We got the iron variant for review. Polished steel is used on the edges.
The build quality of the phone is excellent. Every part gives a feeling of strength. The body is not a little twist or flax. The glass cornings used on the front come with protection of Gorilla Glass, but information about the version is not available. HMD Global has not told anything about the glass of the rear panel. It was good if there was water and dust resistance.

The display notch is quite wide. But only earpiece, front camera and proximity sensor have got a place in it. Chin is also not very wide. The camera module on the back is upright. The camera bump comes in the middle when you keep the phone on the back of the back. The glass part does not touch the surface at all. Because of this, the phone slide does not happen.

Even though its thickness is high, it is easy to grip Nokia 8.1. We have managed to use it with one hand many times, without worrying about falling or slipping with hands.

Nokia 8.1 Specification and Software

The most interesting thing about Nokia 8.1 is that it is not introduced as an upgrade of Nokia 8 or Nokia 8 Sirocco. Both of them were flagship devices and were equipped with Snapdragon 835 processor. Instead, we are using the first phone to run on Snapdragon 710. Which is a premium, but not the most powerful.

The new processor supports high-end smartphone features such as separate AI subcutam, many high resolution cameras, modern LTE modem. Adreno 616 is claimed to give a console -like gaming quality about GPU.

Another specialty of this phone is HDR 10 capacity screen. The screen is 6.18 inches and aspect ratio 18.7: 9. Because of this the resolution is 1080×2246 pixels. The battery is of 3500 mAh and supports the fast charging of 18 watts. You will get 18 watt charger in the retail box. But HMD Global has not used the name Qualcomm Quick Charge.

There is only one variant of Nokia 8.1- 64 GB storage with 4 GB RAM. It is a little prick, because 128 GB storage is now available in this price range. If you want to use a microSD card, then you will have to compromise on another SIM card. Because it has a hybrid dual sim design. Both SIM slots support 4G and VoLTE. You will also get features like Wi-Fi 802.11 AC, Bluetooth 5, NFC, FM Radio and GPS. There is a USB Type C port on the lower back and a 3.5mm headphone jack is given on the top.

Our review unit out of box was running on Android Pie. This is Android One phone. This means that you will get stock Android UI. Apart from this, regular security updates and future software updates are guaranteed. We found that the UI also has some customizations.

There are preset options such as standard, vivid and muted colors for the display. Dynamic mode is in default which changes the preset according to your activity. The ambient display feature shows time, date and notification icon in monochrome. You can take action by tapping in case of incoming message.

Nokia 8.1 Performance, Battery Life and Camera

Usually it was smooth to use this phone. We can easily switch between apps. The same situation was on switching between many chrome browser. PUBG and Asphalt 9: Smuth with powerful graphics like Legends.

As soon as we played some demo YouTube videos, its HDR screen started doing its job. Whether the resolution drops up to 480 pixels, you can watch videos with HDR. No mode or settings are also worried. However, it affects the battery. The sound coming from a mono speaker is very loud. Quality is also good.

Talking about battery life, it supports all day in common use. By night, 10 percent battery remains in Nokia 8.1. In our HD video loop test, the battery supported for just 9 hours 21 minutes.

Nokia 8.1 has a 12 -megapixel primary rear camera. It comes with the lens and optical image stabilization of the Zice brand. Apart from this, there is a 13 -megapixel fixed focus depth sensor. It has a 20 -megapixel front camera with adaptive mode. It will capture photos with better details in low light by adding four pixels.

Tap to see in Nokia 8.1 camera sample fullsize

The quality of photos taken from the camera was good, but not consistent. Photos taken in daylight came with details and vibrant colors. Nokia 8.1 focus is fast in locking. It was fun to use this. Some pictures received a complaint of excessive exposure. It took some time to lock the focus at the right place in Live Bokeh shot, but the photos were good.

However, quality was damaged at night. Shots usually came to bright, but the noise was very high. There was also a shortage of details. The distant objects did not appear to be the best. Many times the focus was also not our mind.

Crispp and sharp recorded in daylight. The benefit of optical image stabilization is seen. The night video had a strange throbbing effect. The front camera took good pictures under most circumstances. Beautification is available, but remains off in default.

Our decision
Nokia 8.1 is a very confused name. We are not comparing it to its predeasers. But it is difficult to fix the position of this phone. Because there is no flagship level feature in it. And this is neither the value for money price range. If you are ready to spend Rs 30,000 in the market Asus Zenfone 5Z And Poco F1 Like powerful phones will be found. On the other hand, there are many phones in less than Rs 20,000 that gives only this level performance. In Nokia 7.1 also includes.

This phone will be seen as an upgrade of affordable phones in departments like build, style and camera. It may be that some users are ready to spend more for Nokia’s name. Nokia 8.1 has many features that are liked, but most of them will also get it in cheap phones.

It seems that Asus has learned something from Xiaomi. We are saying this looking at Asus’s new strategy. On the basis of the price and specification of Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1, the company looked towards everyone. With its upgrade, the company has adopted the old formula. The new Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 comes with powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 processor and its initial price is Rs 12,999. At first glance, Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 appears to be a profitable deal. Has Asus defeated all its challenges through Zenfone Max Pro M2? Let’s know …

Asus zenfone max pro m2 design

Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 comes with a very flashy body. If seen, this is the first big difference compared to the old variants. The smartphone is available in blue and titanium colors. We have reviewed the blue variants.
Asus Max Pro M2 has laminated backpanel, which gives it glossy finish. Because of this, fingers are easily falling. Remember that Zenfone Max Pro M1 Came with a metal backplate.

Zenfone Max Pro M2 It has a dual camera setup on the back, with single LED flash. The fingerprint scanner is in the middle and it is easy to reach. The phone has a 6.26 inch FullHD+ display. The top is not on top and the display is 19: 9 aspect ratio. Asus claims that it is the first smartphone to come in this price segment with Corning Gorilla Glass 6.

Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 has a top and very thin bezel on the edges. But the bezel is very thick on the lower part. Asus has tried to keep the earpiece out of the notch towards the frame. This has facilitated reducing the size of the notch. Selfie cameras, flash and sensors have found a place in the notch. The notification LED is also kept outside the Nokia. It has found a place next to the earpiece grill.

Like other phones in this price range, the frame of Zenfone Max Pro M2 is made of plastic. Power and volume buttons are on the right side and sim tray on the left side. According to us, the position of the power button is good, but it has to work a little to reach the volume button.

There are micro-USB port, primary microphone, 3.5mm headphone jack and loudspeaker on the lower back. Secondary microphone is on top. By the way, most of the phones of this price range come with micro-USB port. But the USB Type C port would have been welcome step.

Asus has kept the edges curved in the Zenfone Max Pro M2, which gives the grip good. The shocking thing is that despite having a big battery, the phone does not seem weighty or bulkies.

Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 Specification and Software

Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 gained popularity due to powerful processor and aggressive price. Asus has repeated this strategy by giving a 1.95 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 processor in Zenfone Max Pro M2. The new chipset is more powerful than Snapdragon 636. This processor has been used in handsets like Xiaomi Mi A2, Realme 2 Pro and Vivo V9 Pro.

There are three options based on RAM and storage- 3 GB RAM and 32 GB storage, 4 GB RAM and 64 GB storage, 6 GB RAM and 64 GB storage. We have reviewed 4 GB RAM variants. All three variants have support for microSD cards up to 2 TB.

The connectivity feature of Zenfone Max Pro M2 includes Bluetooth 5, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and FM radio. It is a dual sim smartphone. It has two Nano SIM slots. Both slots support 4G VoLTE.

Zenfone Max Pro M2 has full-HD+ display, with 450 knots brightness. There is no problem in reading in sunlight. The viewing angles of the display are also good.

Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 is an important feature of big battery. Asus has given a 10 watt charger to charge it. But there is no support for quick charging, that is, charging will take a long time.

This smartphone of Asus will also run on stock Android. It is expected that the company will release more rapid updates for this phone. The company has just introduced the smartphone with Android 8.1 Oreo and has promised to give Android Pie update in January 2019. Our review unit came with the October Security Patch.

Even if it is a stock Android device. But in addition to Google’s selected apps in this phone, Facebook, Messenger and Instagram apps will be installed in advance.

Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 Performance, Battery Life and Camera

Knowing the specification of Zenfone Max Pro M2, we had an idea of ​​its performance. The performance of Zenfone Max Pro M2 is very smooth due to fast processor and stock Android. There was no complaint of leg or stutter in our review unit.

You can use fingerprint scanner and face unlock to unlock the phone. During the review we found that the scanner is slightly slow in unlocking the device. Apart from this, we did not get the settings of running any app in fullscreen mode. For this reason, most of the apps went to the letterboxade.

PUBG Mobile went on medium settings. We managed to play this game without any lag or framedrop. After playing the game for 25 minutes continuously, the phone became a little hot.

We enjoyed watching videos and playing games on this phone. The speaker is also very loud.

The battery life of the handset is excellent. The credit goes to a 5000 mAh battery. In the HD video loop test, the phone died after 17 hours 58 minutes. About 55 percent of the battery remained left during the regular use. The 10 -watt charger given in the retail box charged the battery 52 per cent in 1 hour.

Asus has upgraded the camera setup in Zenfone Max Pro M2. You will get a 12 -megapixel primary sensor and a depth sensor of 5 megapics on the back. The front panel has a 13 -megapixel camera.

The camera app is simple and it is also easy to use. Shooting modes, beautification, depth effects and flash settings are togle. You will also get the option to apply the filter before taking photos. There is a pro mode in which you will be able to adjust focus, shutter speed, ISO, exposure and white balance.

Tap to see the camera sample of Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2

The AI ​​scene detection is not available at the moment, but Asus has talked about bringing the Zenfone Max Pro M2 in the EIS and front camera in the Zenfone Max Pro M2 with an update in December.

While shooting with Zenfone Max Pro M2, we found that in some scenes it was not successful in setting the exact exposure. For example, some photos during the day came to oversexposed.

The color reproduction is good. But in a distant object, this detail is not able to capture. Macrose shot comes with more details and the phone does a good job of sapling the subject from the background. Portrait mode can be easily enabled. You will get the option to fix the level of blur.

HDR mode needs to be improved further. It handles the bright area in the scene, but loses the details in the shadow. Edge detection in output is good. But the blur at the highest level seems to be artificial.

The camera performance is average in low light. The phone does not switch to night mode automatically. It takes a little longer in the phone to save the landscape shot. The output is satisfactory, as the lack of details when zoom in is clearly visible.

Selfies come excellent and face detection ensures that there is no face blur while taking group selfies. Beautification is also available.

You will be able to record 4K videos from primary camera and 1080 pixels from selfie shooter. The video stabilization is available at 1080 pixels and is successful in reducing the phone shake.

Our decision
Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 has a big responsibility on the shoulder. Especially given the success of Zenfone Max Pro M1. There is no doubt that Asus has submitted a strong claim by giving Snapdragon 660 processor and 5000 mAh battery.

Performance and battery life have power. If the cameras are your priority then Realme 2 Pro is better. If you are considering buying either of these two, then you will also have to look at the benefits of stock Android as compared to Reality ColorS UI.

The price is the strongest side of Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2. There is no harm in buying this phone for Rs 12,999. We have reviewed variants of Rs 14,999 which Realme 2 Pro ,Review) And Realme U1 ,Review) Like a slightly higher than the handset.

Stock Android is another correct decision. If Asus is successful in providing updates regularly, it will be icing for customers on gold.

Oppo recently launched the new handset Oppo A7 of its A series. Its specialty is battery life and cameras. According to the company, its A series smartphone has been well liked by customers in India. The company wants to take advantage of this heritage through the new Oppo A7.

If seen, Oppo A7 handset Oppo a5 Is upgraded. It comes with waterdrop notch. More storage is given and it also has the latest version of ColorOS. Oppo A7 of Rs 16,990 Realme, Nokia And Xiaomi Like the brand phone will get a tough challenge. Oppo f9 Also, it cannot be ignored, which costs only about Rs 2,000. Is Oppo’s new smartphone worth buying? Let’s know …

Oppo A7 Design

Oppo a7 In the Waterdrop Notch Design. Because of this it seems quite modern. It looks like Oppo F9 to a great extent. Plastic body comes with matte finish on the edges. There is laminated backpanel with texcharged pattern. The back part looks beautiful, especially in the Glairing Gold Trim given for the review.

Oppo A7 feels a big phone when taken in hands, but 168 grams of weight is not too much. The display comes with a scratch guard. But this swipe from the edges creates difficulty in doing these which is not a good thing.

The placement of volume and power button is good. Their feedback is also good. The SIM slot has separate slots for two nano SIMs and microSD cards (up to 256 GB). Laminated backs and fingers on the screen easily fall.

The brightness of the 6.2 -inch LCD display is good. Colors also come beautiful. But the resolution is just HD+ (1520×720 pixels) which is disappointing, especially given the price. Because of this, icons and texts look slightly soft. This is not very bad, but this price range shows a screen with high resolution.

Due to the waterdrop notch, more space is available for use on the screen. But the notification is a holiday of LED. The bezel is negligible on the edges of the display. But the chin on the lower back is quite thick. All ports are at the bottom. You will get micro-USB port, 3.5mm headphone jack and microphone.

The rear has a dual camera module, LED flash and fingerprint sensor. This sensor works fast. The phone also has face unlock which works well, exactly like Realme 2 Pro and Realme U1.

In the retail box, Silicon case with Oppo A7 handset, SIM Ejector Tool, Micro-USB cable and 10 watt adapter will be available.

Oppo a7 specification and feature

In this phone of Rs 17,000, we were expected to be given Snapdragon 636 or MediaTek Helio P60 processor. But Snapdragon 450 is used in Oppo A7. It is not only old, but also part of a phone range of Rs 10,000.

Oppo A5 also comes with this processor, but the initial price of this phone was low. The good thing is that the phone comes with 4 GB RAM and 64 GB storage. However, RAM does not help the performance a lot. The benchmark performance is also not appreciated.

The phone has dual 4G VoLTE support. Other specifications include Bluetooth 4.2, single-band Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, USB-OTG and FM Radio. Accelerometer, compass, light sensor and gyroscope are part of this phone.

Oppo A7 runs on Android 8.1 Oreo -based ColorOS 5.2. It comes with the security patch of November 2018. Now you can dismiss notifications from a swipe.

You will get a feature like Oroaming, with the help of which affordable data packs can be chosen on foreign tours. With the help of a smart scan, you can shoot and edit the text. Apart from this, language can also be translated. You will find many shortcuts and gestures. It also includes smart sidebar.

Oppo A7 Performance, Camera and Battery Life

Oppo A7 handles common apps and ordinary games properly. But despite having 4 GB RAM, our experience was not very smooth or consistent. Lag feels in switching between apps. An ordinary task like screenshot also takes longer time.

The phone is not hot when playing games or streaming video, which is a good thing. Powerful games such as PUBG Mobile and Shadowgun Legends move to the lowest settings in the phone. A speaker given in the phone brings a good sound, but the sound quality is not as good. Especially for songs or cinema.

Oppo A7’s cameras are very standard. The performance is not very spectacular. The back is on the back of a 2 megapixel (F/2.4) depth sensor with a primary sensor of 13 megapixels (f/2.2 aperture). The speed of autofocus is slow due to lack of PDAF. But with the help of enough light and stable hands, the Oppo A7 takes a fine landscape shot.

HDR also starts working on its own, which is a good thing. Macrose shots are also good, with saturated colors. Edge detection in portrait mode is fine. But the final effect is not very accurate.

The camera is usually difficult in low light. The speed of the focus declines and due to narrow aperture, there is not enough light for bright image. You will have to wait for a few seconds to lock the focus by the camera. Otherwise, a little soft shot will come. The lack of details is clearly visible and colors are also not accurate.

The 16 -megapixel selfie camera captures some vivid shots in daylight. But performance in low light is very average. AI beautification mode is also present. But this is very aggressive.

You will be able to record videos up to 1080 pixels. The quality is fine. But there is no electronic stabilization. The camera app comes with mode like stickers, Panorama and Time Laps.

The battery of Oppo A7 is 4230 mAh. The phone will be known for strong battery life. In our HD video loop test, the battery died in 19 hours 43 minutes, which will be considered very good. The phone batteries in common use support for about two days. The phone does not have fast charging support. But the 10 watt charger makes the battery full charge in about two and a half hours.

Our decision
Sadly, Oppo A7 does not bring anything new or unique to customers. Only the battery life goes in favor of the phone, but for this, Rs 16,990 will not be called a profitable deal. Oppo A7 has a price range of Rs 10,000. But at the existing price, it could have made a special place for itself.

If you are ready to spend more than Rs 15,000 then you have Vivo v9 pro, Xiaomi mi a2, Nokia 6.1 Plus And Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro Like there are better options.

Our decision

The Nokia 7.1 with Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 processor is a little higher because the price segment comes in Poco F1 And Honor Play For example, the flagship-grade processor has been used in the smartphone. If we do not talk about the power of the processor, Nokia 7 is an all-rounder smartphone. The specialty of Nokia 7.1 is the crisp and vivid HDR display of the phone and it presents the best claim in this price segment. Nokia 7.1 such as we told you that is part of Android One Program, then in such a situation the phone is guaranteed to get regular updates. The look is quite attractive, its build quality is also very good. HMD Global has also done a lot of work on the low-light camera performance of Nokia 7.1.

If you want, of course you can buy Xiaomi Poco F1 and Honor Play which are equipped with flagship-grade processors. But it is also worth noting that Poco F1 is made of plastic which does not give a premium look, while the Nokia 7.1 premium look makes it attractive. Poco F1 and Honor Play MIUI and EMUI run on the skin which come with third party bloat. In the end, only that Nokia 7 is a strong smartphone that easily manages all the tasks of the day.

Huawei’s sub-brand Honor has been very aggressive in the Indian market in recent days. The company has launched several smartphones in different price segments. Honor 7C was launched just 6 months ago. Now Honor 8C has been launched in the market with a 4,000 mAh battery, 6.26 inch display with 19: 9 aspect ratios, cameras equipped with AI and out of box Android 8.1 Oreo. It is also the first smartphone to come with Qualcomm Snapdragon 632 processor. Honor 8C has two variants. The price of 4 GB RAM and 32 GB storage variants is Rs 11,999. On the other hand, 4 GB RAM and 64 GB storage variants can be purchased for Rs 12,999.

There is tremendous competition in the price segment ranging from Rs 10,000 to Rs 15,000. In this price range you Asus zenfone max pro m1, Nokia 5.1 Plus, Xiaomi Redmi 6 Pro And Realme 1 Like popular smartphones will be found. What Honor 8C Gives these handsets a strong challenge? Let’s know …

Honor 8C Design

Honor 8C’s body is plastic. The build quality is satisfactory. But it does not look as premium as a handset with glass and metal body of this price segment. If seen, old Honor 7C Also came with a metal blackplate.

There is definitely some difficulty in using this phone with one hand. The display equipped with a notch is not really without border. It has quite wide chin. The Settings menu has the option to hide the notch. In this feature, the side part of the Nokia becomes black. If you want, you can choose one of the on -screen button and EMUI gestures, which we had difficulty in using.

The fingers on the glossy plastic back easily fall. The phone also slips in the hands easily. A soft cover is present in the retail box. Its quality is not very spectacular, but the phone provides protection from scratches and the grip is also good. The retail box also has a 10 watt charger and also has a micro-USB cable. There is no headset that can cause some users disappoint.

The rear panel has cameras in vertical positions. The fingerprint sensor is in the middle of the device. Honor has tried to mimic his own Honor 10 gradient color backpanel in this phone, but it has not been completely successful. We did not like the black and blue gradients found for the review.

There is a sim tray on the left side of the smartphone. It has a separate slot for two nano SIMs and microSD cards. On the right side of the phone is the power button and volume rocker. The buttons are small, but the response is good. There is a micro-USB port, primary microphone and speaker on the lower back, which is small but it leads to loud sounds. Secondary microphone and 3.5mm headphone jack have got a place at the top. In the era of USB Type-C port, there is disappointment by seeing micro-USB port.

Honor 8C Specification and Display

Honor 8C has used Qualcomm’s new 14 Nm Snapdragon 632 processor. We have reviewed variants with 4 GB RAM and 64 GB storage, which costs Rs 12,999. The market will also have a cheap variant with 4 GB RAM and 32 GB storage. Its price will be Rs 11,999. Both variants will support microSD cards up to 256 GB.

The smartphone has a 4,000 mAh battery. It will run on EMUI 8.2 based on Android 8.1 Oreo. The connectivity feature includes Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.2, GPS, Glonas, Micro-USB port and 3.5mm headphone jack.

The phone has a 6.26 -inch HD+ (720×1520 pixels) TFT IPS LCD display. The aspect ratio is 19: 9. The display is not praiseworthy. The viewing angles are fine. Colors Panchi comes. Brightness level is not enough. Text and image are not sharp due to HD+ resolution.

Honor 8C Performance, Software and Battery Life

The performance is fine. The smartphone plays well in common use. But more task starts falling behind. Even during navigation in UI, we realized a little lag. This problem was also seen in scrolling the heavy website on Chrome. Honor 8C is the world’s first smartphone with Snapdragon 632 processor. It is not clear whether the decrease in performance is due to the processor or there is a decrease in the optimization of Honor.

A complaint was received of frame rate drop while playing Asphalt 9 and PUBG game. But we were able to play games.

Face recognition works fast. This feature worked quickly when there is enough light, but you have to put your smartphone right in front of the face. In low light, the phone increases the brightness of the screen, so that the face is easy to scan. This feature is somewhat effective. We also found the fingerprint sensor fast and accurate.

Honor 8C runs on EMUI 8.2 Custom ROM based on Android 8.1 Oreo. EMUI is a custom ROM equipped with many features, but it looks very complicated and many unwanted apps are also part of the UI. Google has a strange mix of its apps and Honor’s default app. For example, Chrome is a browser and default messaging apps of Android, while the dialer, file manager and gallery have a custom version of Honor. Facebook, Messenger, Netflix and Camera 360 are already installed. Apart from this, company apps like Hicare, Huawei Health, Themes, Honor Store and Honor Club have also already got space. The good thing is that EMUI also has one handed mode.

In our HD video loop test, Honor 8C’s battery lasted for 14 hours and 30 minutes. These figures are excellent. Performance is also solid in common use. The battery will easily support you throughout the day. EMUI has many power saving features. One of these features reduces the screen resolution when the battery is low. The smartphone does not support quick charging. The 10 -watt charger in the retail box takes about two and a half hours to make full charge of the phone.

Honor 8C camera

Honor 8C has a 13 -megapixel primary rear camera with F/1.8 aperture. Along with this, a 2 -megapixel depth with F/2.4 aperture in jugalbandi acts as a sensor. The front panel has an 8 -megapixel camera with F/2.0 aperture. Both camera setups come with single LED flash.

IOS -inspired camera app has many work features. It also has a Pro mode in which users can control ISO, exposure, shutter speed and white balance. The smartphone can identify select subjects or scenes being shot and then optimize the image settings. Currently, the smartphone can detect 22 different objects and 500 scenes. We did not like AI Enhancement. Pictures came to the face of shooting in AI mode and Colors were also more saturated. When the AI ​​shut down, colors were more natural in the pictures taken in adequate light and also had a fine details. In wide aperture mode you can take photos with the depth of field effect. These pictures came a little better than average. However, the image quality came a bit weak with other phones in this price range.

When there was not enough light, the photos taken from this phone came dark and Merky. Many times autofocus was also having problems. With the help of AI innovations, the app is able to capture a little more light. But the lack of details in the photographs and the problem of noise remains intact.

Honor 8C camera sample tap to see in full size

The front camera is also fine. Most of the photos in our experience came soft and oversexed. The performance was very bad even in low light. The front flash proves to be somewhat helpful. But there is a lack of details in the pictures. Colors do not come accurate and photos seem to be too sharp. Beauty mode is also available for front and rear cameras. But the photos look artificial. There is also support for AR stickers. You will be able to record the highest 720 pixels videos from the front camera and 1080 pixels from the rear camera. There was a shortage of details in our test video and the video shakes were also recorded due to no stabilization.

Our decision
Honor 8C is nothing that can challenge smartphones like Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 and Nokia 5.1 Plus. Honor has tried to make an all -round device, but this phone is not even strong in any one department.

The phone neither looks premium nor gives a feeling. Its performance is disappointed in low light. The common performance is fine and the user interface is clotted. Battery life has power. You get a separate microSD card slot and the fingerprint sensor is faster and accurate. Brands like Xiaomi, Nokia, Asus and Realme have raised the level of the budget smartphone segment race. In such a situation, Honor needs to do more to come on top.

Xiaomi and Honor have dominated the market with affordable range smartphones. But the Realme brand has once again made the race interesting. A recent report claimed that Reality has become a rapid emerging company in India due to aggressive price and rapidly growing portfolio.

Realme has added a new series to its portfolio and the first smartphone of this series is Realme U1. It is also the company’s first selfie Pro smartphone. It seems that Oppo’s sub-brand at one time Realme wants to repeat the strategy of its old company itself. There is no doubt Oppo’s F series has been very popular. Apart from high resolution front camera, this handset is the first smartphone to come with Helio P70 processor. This processor has been claimed to be more powerful and capable than Helio P60.

Realme U1 will clash in the market from Xiaomi’s Redmi Y series which is known for the selfie smartphone. Other than this Asus zenfone max pro m1 And Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro Will also be a challenge. Is Realme U1 a smartphone to buy? Let’s learn …

Realme U1 Design

Realme U1 was recently launched recently in appearance Realme 2 Pro As it sounds. There is no harm in this. The grip is good due to curved edges and due to matte finish it does not slip in the hands. The display is slightly out of the phone’s body. The same laminated back also has the same condition. The good thing is that during the review, there is no scratch marks on the back of this phone. It is comfortable to keep Realme U1 with a thickness of 8 millimeters and 168 grams cannot be considered very weight.

The position of the button is good. During the review, we did not have much difficulty in reaching the power and volume button. The SIM tray on the left has two nano SIMs and separate slots for microSD cards. The bottom of Realme U1 has speaker grill, micro-USB port and 3.5mm headphone socket. Once again, we were disappointed to see USB Type-C. We have a complaint with the position of the speaker grill. Holding the phone is easily blocked by holding the phone. This means that the voice will not come clear while playing the game or watching the video.

The 6.3 -inch screen comes with a 450 knight brightness level. For this reason, there is no difficulty in reading on screen in sunlight. It is an IPS panel and the screen resolution is 1080×2340 pixels. Pictures on the display look sharp. You will also get the facility to control the color temperature in the Settings app. Realme has used Corning Gorilla Glass 3 which is slightly old. But nothing is better than nothing. The screen guard is already present on the phone. Scratch marks were easily on this. The fingers on the screen guard also easily fall. The same situation is with laminated backpanel. In such a situation, it will not be easy to always keep Realme U1 clean.

Waterdrop or Dudrop notch is beautiful in appearance. If you want, you can also hide the Nokia. There is a camera on the front panel. There are also earpieces and select sensors on top of it. There is no notification LED due to a limited space.

Laminated back light bounces gives good visual effects. We got the ambisheus black unit for review. You also have options for Brave Blue and Fiery Gold. The dual rear camera module is not high. The fingerprint sensor is capable of quickly identifying. Its texture is slightly different from backpanel taxes. Therefore it is easy to find the sensor. The face unlock is also fast and the display in low light is light up so that the phone can be unlocked easily from the face.

The Realme U1 handset comes with 10 watt power adapter, USB charging cable, Silkon case, SIM Easeer Tool and some paper. The quality of accessory is good.

Realme U1 Software and Specifications

One of the important features of Realme U1 is MediaTek Helio P70 processor. This is a faster version of the Helio P60 chipset. According to Realme, this chipset gives 13 percent better performance than its old variants. It claims to have a better version of MediaTek’s on chip ani processing engine. Reality U1 scored good scores in the benchmark test.

We have reviewed the 4 GB RAM and 64 GB storage variants of this phone. By the way, you also have an option with 3 GB RAM and 32 GB storage. Other features include dual-band Wi-Fi 802.11 AC, Bluetooth 4.2, USB-OTG, FM Radio, GPS and Glonas. Dual 4G dual VoLTE support is available. Proximity sensor, gyroscope, compass, ambient light sensor and acceler are part of this phone.

Like Realme 2 Pro, Realme U1 has Android 8.1 Oreo based Coloros 5.2. It has a security patch of October 2018. The company says that the phone will get the update of Android Pie early next year. It also has some new software features. Realme has finally removed two-step process and has given single right swipe facility to dismiss notifications.

You will get many app installs in advance. Most of these can be uninstall. Gesters for navigation, screenshots and split screen mode are given. This phone has features of work like smart scan and oroming.

Smart Scan now supports Hindi. By using this app, you can also scan the Hindi document, after which the picture will be converted into text format. It works well and does not require active internet connection for this. However, you will need internet for ‘scan and translate,’ which does real time translation.

Realme U1 Performance, Camera and Battery Life

Realme U1 never surprised daily use. The performance was as expected. Removing the fingerprint from this phone is a very difficult task. We would suggest you to use the cover given with the phone. The display is lively. The viewing angles are also very good. We have no complaint with call quality. The phone remained cool on most occasions.

The Helio P70 processor easily handles most games. Framerates also do not see a decline. ASPHALT 8: Legends also walked well in high graphics preset. PUBG Mobile ran smoothly in medium settings. The phone is hot when gaming and using camera for a long time, which is common. Most popular audio and video format went well.

Because it is a selfie camera smartphone, starts with front camera. It has a 25 -megapixel F/2.0 aperture sensor. Realme U1 captures a selfie with details in daylight. Skin tones are good and colors are good. AI beauty mode is also not very aggressive. It smooths your skin on most occasions.

If you like more saturated colors then you will like super vivid mode. If you want, you can activate the depth effect or portrait mode, which do good job to blur the background. In portrait mode, the camera uses four-in-one bining technology. You get better detail pictures, but the resolution remains with an 8 megapixel shot. You also get a preview of HDR version by shooting in bright lights.

Realme U1’s camera sample tap to see in full size

In low light, we found that the camera was having difficulty in capturing clean and detail shot. The shocking thing is that the camera here shoots in 25 megapixel resolution. Not in the pixel bining technique. This causes selfie granney. HDR mode does not provide much help. In this, bright lights in the background are burned out. Edge detection is also not very accurate in low light and bokeh mode.

The rear has a 13 -megapixel camera with F/2.2 aperture. It captures photos with details in natural light, but falls behind in low light. Autofocus is also not very fast. This focus consumes a few seconds before locking. Super Vivid Mode is an effective feature. HDR also works satisfactory. You will get modes like Panorama, Tylaps, Professional and Portrait. Portrait shots are good due to a 2 -megapixel depth sensor.

Shot Using Super Vivid Mode on the Realme U1

Realme U1’s camera sample tap to see in full size

With this phone, you will be able to record the most 1080 pixels resolution videos. But there is no electronic stabilization. Quality is good, but autofocus does not work fast. Framaret is very solid and low-light footage is also not very noble. Despite having a powerful processor, the rear camera cannot record 4K videos. This is disappointing, because many phones in this price segment are equipped with this feature.

The 3500 mAh battery easily accompanies the whole day. In our HD video loop test, Reality U1’s battery lasted for 14 hours 56 minutes. There is no fast charging, but the 10 watt adapter helps in charging rapidly.

Our decision
The price of Realme U1 starts at Rs 11,999. This price is of 3 GB RAM and 32 GB storage version. Given the powerful processor and battery life, the price looks aggressive. At this price you Xiaomi Redmi Y2 Will get 4 GB variants. But keeping in mind the performance of the front camera of both phones in low light, Reality U1 is a better option according to us. Because it comes with the latest design and more powerful processor.

The price of 4 GB RAM variants we tested is Rs 14,499. In a way, it challenges the initial variants of Reality’s Powerful Reality 2 Pro. Reliami 2 Pro comes with better rear camera and has support for 4K videos. If both these things are primary for you, then we will suggest you to buy a Pro model. It was our hope that the performance of the Reality U1 camera would have been equal to or better than the Realme 2 Pro. In this phone market, Redmi Note 6 Pro and Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 (6GB) will also be challenged which give good performance in every department.

This phone of Realme also has some shortcomings. There is no video stabilization and the low light performance of both camera setup is very average. But powerful processor, powerful battery life, good camera performance in daylight, sharp display and beautiful designs, make this phone a good option.
