Dozens, if not hundreds, of smartphones are in 2020 hit the market, most but are hardly worth more than a side note. But there are exceptions: We have the best smartphones 2019 selected.

Does “the best” smartphone even exist? From a purely objective point of view, probably. At least in the typical schoolyard quartet, technical data can be compared with one another without any value and in the end there is theoretically a winner, i.e. the best smartphone 2020. In reality, however, it looks a little different. Because, on the one hand, minor details often decide between victory and defeat, and in everyday life it is much more important how the things that are in the data sheet actually work. And even if we try to highlight such things in our tests, we often do not succeed fully due to the very limited test period.

Best example: Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra (test report). The pen giant is undoubtedly an extremely good smartphone and there is hardly anything that the model does not offer. What was not noticed (or at least not as clearly) in the normal test period, but even more so in continuous use: The battery is too weak for a Note model. In addition, the upper half of the volume rocker in our test model gave way after a few weeks, it lost all pressure point and key travel, but can still be operated. Also never noticed with any other model: The note 20 All of a sudden on Google Maps the language information is no longer transmitted via the external, but the internal speaker. A few other apps also bitch on the device every now and then. Only a reboot will fix such problems.

And the third problem that simply riding around on technical data does not make sense: Ultimately, it always depends on your own usage behavior, whether the supposed lack of a feature bothers you or not. Therefore we say it bluntly: Our top 10 of the best smartphones 2020 is definitely subjective. We have the 10 devices that stuck in our minds. Not every user will be in our top 10, but that is – as described – in the nature of the matter. By the way: The one on the note 20 Ultra-described problems are not included in this top 10 . Because on the one hand it is still a really good smartphone, on the other hand we have hardly been able to test any other model over such a long period – so that would be unfair.

1st place: Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro So much power for buyers got so little money in a great overall package as with the Poco F2 Pro (test report) in 2020 on any other smartphone. For currently under 450 Euros are a Snapdragon 865, absolutely sufficient 6 GByte RAM, 128 GByte UFS memory and at least during the day a decent main camera (even if it is advertised as a quad cam …) including popup Front camera. The device provides the content on an almost 6.7 inch (approx. 17 cm) large OLED screen and ensures with its 4700 mAh strong battery for good runtimes. Android 11 is already available thanks to an update – what more could you want? A screen with more than 60 Hertz maybe, admittedly. If you are really looking for that, you will not find it here. All others are spot on and that’s why the device is in 2020 the number one.

2nd place: Samsung Galaxy S 20 FE 5G What, the Fan Edition in second place? But the Ultra can do a lot more! That’s right – nevertheless we just want to praise Samsung at this point: You can do it! At least in the 5G version, the FE gives users what the fan base wants: A Snapdragon processor – 820, which not only has more power, but also less hunger for electricity. Everything else is almost on par with the S 20 – sibling models – at a significantly lower price! In summary, the Samsung Galaxy S scores 19 FE with a 6.5 inch (approx 17 cm) large OLED Display with 120 Hertz, a great one Triple camera, 6 / 128 GByte memory and a battery with proper 4500 mAh. Android 11 is still missing, but should also come soon. All of this is available for under 650 Euro – the RRPs of the other S 20 models were much higher at the time. What exactly they can do better (or worse), we have in our Ve equal to the four S 20 – Models (guide) combined.

3rd place: Oneplus 8 Pro The Oneplus 8 Pro is already on the Market came. But it is still so good that even the manufacturer, who has usually brought an update to its models after around six months, has not brought a new T-Pro model. The reason: The Pro model is still fresh enough. Right! At that time, the model performed better than competitors like Galaxy S in our reader test (article) at least in some areas such as daylight shots with main and wide angle Ultra (test report) and Sony Xperia 1 II ( Test report).

Even apart from the camera, the device still cuts a very good figure. This is also shown by the constantly high price of the model, which is only available from around 820 Euro. In addition to the very chic exterior, the smartphone scores with 6.8 inches (approx. 17 cm) large OLED screen with 120 Hz and 1440 p + resolution. The Snapdragon 865 of the model is flanked by 8 GB of RAM, data can be found in at least 128 GB of internal memory space. As popular with Chinese manufacturers, it is not expandable (even with the Poco phone), but the update supply is good and Android 11 already available .

4th place: Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Apart from the little things mentioned above, there are few smartphones that can do more than the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra (test report). The device offers a 6.9 inch (approx. 18 cm) large (huge!) OLED display with 120 Hz and 1440 p + resolution, a very good quad camera with up to 108 Megapixels, a strong Exynos 990 when Drive, full 12 GByte RAM and at least 256 GByte expandable internal memory. In addition, there is something that hardly any other smartphone offers in this form: a stylus. Too bad: Samsung only builds one battery with 4400 mAh, that’s a bit tight. Also Android 11 It is not available yet.

5th place: Huawei P 40 Pro Plus 6.6 inches (approx. 17 cm) OLED screen with 90 Hz, Kirin 990, 8 GByte RAM and 512 GByte internal memory – The warehouse in particular should put a grin on the face of many interested parties. It is even comparatively “common”. Because the Huawei P 40 Pro Plus (test report) also offers a ceramic back, fast wireless charging and, above all, double optical magnification: 3 and 10-subject. Hardly any other smartphone can do this and allows smartphone photographers even more flexibility when taking photos. The quality is Huawei-moderately good, especially in low light there is hardly any other manufacturer in 2020. Incidentally, the battery only provides 3687 mAh for decent runtimes – some competitors should learn a slice of this.

Why then not the device further up in this top 10 is? Quite simply: Because of the US ban, Huawei’s current smartphones still come without Google services. Among other things, this means: No Play Store, no functioning banking apps and other restrictions that the manufacturer has still not been able to adequately compensate for. Too bad – otherwise the P 40 Pro Plus been a contender for the throne.

6th place: Huawei Mate 40 Per This also applies to another great smartphone from Huawei: the Mate 40 Pro (test report). The device comes with an even larger OLED display, it measures 6.7 inches (approx. 16 cm) and also offers 90 Hz. The triple cam is as brilliant as in the P 40 Pro Plus, but dispenses with double optical zoom. The new Kirin 900, the one with at least 8 / 256 GByte memory is combined. Particularly fast 66 – Watt fast charging charges the 4400 mAh strong battery enormously fast, wirelessly it still works with fast 50 Watt. Unfortunately, the same applies here: No Google services (or adequate replacement) – no better ranking. We still think the device is great!

Place 7: Xiaomi Mi 10 Per In the previous year there was still a Mi-9 model at the top of the podium, with the Mi – 10 series, however, Xiaomi has tightened the price screw. Accordingly, the “cheap daughter” Poco is now on top, the Wed 10 Pro (test report) joins below. This is a really good smartphone that does not have any of the quirks of the Note in the long-term test 20 Ultra featured: 6.7 inches (approx. 17 cm) OLED with 90 Hz, great quad cam with 108 Megapixels like Samsung, Snapdragon 865 and 8 / 256 GByte memory – that’s pretty neat. The battery ensures good running times, the charging times are thanks to 50 watts short. Wireless takes a little longer.

8th place: Oppo Find X2 Pro Had the Oppo Find X2 Pro We haven’t finished testing it at the time of writing this article, but the impression we got up to that point convinced us to include the device in our annual best list. The main reason is the great price-performance ratio: While all but the first three models are at least 900 Euros in the smallest variant, the Find X2 Pro is currently with a ceramic back for only around 750 to have euros.

However, there is no worse technology for a long time, on the contrary. This offers 6.7 inches (approx. 17 cm) large OLED panel 120 Hz frame rate, the triple cam with up to 48 Megapixels also wide angle and telephoto lens and a Snapdragon comes as a drive 865 with full 12 GB of RAM used – wow! Added to this are 512 GByte internal memory – that it is not expandable should really be don’t bother anyone anymore. The battery is with its 4200 mAh maybe a little tight, with full 64 But the watt recharges extremely quickly. Wireless charging is missing, IP 67 – certification (as opposed to our number One and the ninth-placed model) is included.

Place 9: Samsung Galaxy Fold 2 5G The Samsung Galaxy Fold 2 5G (test report) is actually a really great device that offers real added value with its still quite new folding display technology. So it puts contents folded up on its 6.2 inches (approx. 16 cm) “small” OLED screen, when unfolded it is a proud 7.6 inches ( approx. 19 cm) OLED with 120 Hz – great! The camera with main, wide and telephoto lens also convinced in the test and the Snapdragon 865 Plus afforded With 12 GByte RAM no weakness.

Even 256 GByte internal memory is ok, only the battery with 4500 mAh should have been a bit larger. However, this was not noticed negatively in the test. The problem with great technology: the price. At the time of this article, the model costs over 1300 Euros even more than an iPhone 12 Pro Max. As soon as that drops further, the Fold 2 becomes a really interesting smartphone.

Place 10: Apple iPhone 12 Max Pro Yes, the iPhone 12 Max Pro is Apple’s spearhead, but what’s the point of a price of still over 1200 Euro for the version with 128 GByte? Technically, Apple often only offers standard food: OLED with 6.7 inches (approx. 17 cm) and 60 Hz, (good) quad cam with up to 12 Megapixels, the really fast Apple-A 14 -Chipset and 6 GB of RAM. Before Apple fans scream: Yes, the hardware is easily enough and cannot be directly compared with an Android phone – it depends on “the inner values”. And then everything is correct again – even if the battery is also 3687 mAh seems a bit weak and the maximum charging power at 20 watts is limited to the maximum (Qi 7.5 watts).

Plus point for the iPhone: Everything comes from a single source, so Apple hardware and software work together as perfectly as possible. This is different with some androids. In addition, the resale value of iPhones remains quite stable, which puts the high purchase price into perspective. And last but not least, iPhones get updates longer than Android smartphones – exemplary! Who wants to know when he will use the iPhone 12 Max Pro should buy: We looked at this in this article (guide).

Conclusion An iPhone on the last, a Poco- Phone in first place? A look at the price explains a lot of it. And place 10 does not mean that the Apple smartphone is bad, after all, it is in the top at all 10 of the best smartphones. Which model would you have seen in first place?

If you want to spend less (apart from the Poco phone), you will find suitable smartphones in our top 10 of the best smartphones up to 500, to 400 and until 300 Euro. Here at the latest there should be something for everyone.

New Motorola with 5,000 mAh battery passes by FCC

Motorola is preparing to launch a new smartphone, but not before the device is certified that it is safe to use by consumers. A phone with model number XT2127-1/XT2127-2 appeared on FCC, complementing its TUV Rheinland and UL (Demko) listings from earlier this month. So far we know it will have a 5,000 mAh battery with 19W fast charging and will be 4G-only.

Motorola XT2127-1 on FCC

The phone, said to be internally called Motorola Capri, will come with pretty basic specs – an HD+ screen with a waterdrop notch and Snapdragon 460 chipset. The RAM and storage will be 4/64 GB, and there will be four cameras on the back, two of them likely of rather limited use (depth sensor + macro lens).

The big question is what is this phone’s name. It could be a Moto G10 Play but we could also see a new device in the ultra-affordable E lineup – probably a mightier variant of the Moto E7 Plus that shares a lot of the specs with the Motorola Capri.

The correct tire pressure plays an important role. It’s easy to check at home. TechStage shows cheap and expensive devices for this.

When motorcycle manufacturers develop new models, they use a complex process to determine the optimal tire pressure. The recommended values for the front and rear tires should be strictly adhered to, this is the only way to keep the motorcycle manageable, regardless of whether it is accelerating, braking, banking, or at top speed. The contact area of a motorcycle tire on the road is just the size of a hen’s egg, it has to absorb enormous forces and interlock reliably with the asphalt surface – but it can only do that with the correct tire inflation pressure. If you drive with the wrong air pressure, you endanger yourself and others, because in extreme cases you can fall. But even just a little too low tire pressure leads to higher fuel consumption and causes the rubber to wear out faster. In addition, handling deteriorates and the braking distance becomes longer.

An air pressure check should take place at least every two weeks, preferably even before each trip. Measurements are generally taken when the tire is cold, because the air pressure increases in the warm tire. Air pressure gauges at petrol stations are often imprecise and therefore only help to a limited extent. It is much better to either have a good test device at home or permanent electronic monitoring on the motorcycle. The advantage of a separate test device is that it can be used for all other vehicles with an auto valve. In addition to the bike, the car, caravan or mountain bike always have the correct air pressure.

The article appears in our motorcycle theme world. There we already presented communication devices for bikes (advice), motorcycle sat navs like the Garmin Zumo XT (test report) or cheaper alternatives like the TomTom Rider 550 (Review) tested. We also provide ten gift tips for motorcyclists (articles).

Oxford Air Gauge The Oxford Air Gauge works in his black plastic housing is not exactly high quality, but delivers good results. It determines the air pressure with only minimal deviations and that is ultimately the main criterion. The right angle of the connection is also pleasant, so that you can easily reach the valve between the spokes of the rim. However, the Oxford Air Gauge gets stuck on some wheels when you pull it off the valve, so that some air escapes and you have to pump air again if in doubt. The measuring range extends to 10, 0 bar and can be switched to PSI. The digital display is unfortunately not illuminated, but it is easy to read in normal lighting conditions. When the measurement is finished, it switches itself off after a few seconds, so that the battery is conserved.

The Oxford Air Gauge is a solid and inexpensive air pressure gauge. Not for upscale professional demands, but proof that inexpensive devices can deliver good results.

SKS air pressure meter Also in a plastic case, but purely optically more valuable than the Oxford Air Gauge is the air pressure meter from SKS Germany. It lies well in the hand and only weighs 54 grams. The head can be rotated, which makes it much easier to put on the valve and it offers inputs for both motorcycle / car valves and for Presta valves on bicycles. The measurement is accurate, rarely the deviation is more than 0, 05 bar. The background of the digital display is illuminated and makes it easier to read. A practical button is used to deflate the air if too much has been pumped into the tire, the display is in real time. The unit of measurement goes up to 10, 0 bar and can be switched to PSI. The battery charge level is shown as a symbol and the digital display switches itself off after a while.

The SKS air pressure meter is comparatively cheap, offers good equipment and sufficiently accurate measurement results.

Topeak Smart Gauge D2 The Topeak Smart Gauge D2 is a real hand flatterer. The compact device impresses with its good equipment. The head is over 180 degrees, so that it can easily reach the valve between the spokes. The user switches between the valve sizes (motorcycle or bicycle) with a slide, and another button is used to deflate. The Smart Gauge D2 measures very precisely, and the large display is easy to read. It can be up to 17, measure 0 bar , even if this pressure would blow every motorcycle tire. The buttons for operating the menu are a bit small, but still acceptable to use. The pressure can optionally be shown in bar, PSI and in kg / cm2. An acoustic signal sounds when the measurement is completed.

The Topeak Smart Gauge D2 knows how to please with precise measurements and good features. Thanks to its compact dimensions of 07, 2 x 4.5 x 3.5 millimeters, it fits in almost every jacket pocket and can be carried on the tour.

Autmor TPMS tire pressure monitoring system The Autmor TPMS tire pressure control system differs from the other measuring devices shown so far. It consists of valve caps that are screwed on and then permanently transmit tire pressure and temperature to the receiver. The temperature measurement turns out to be inaccurate and usually shows too little. To do this, the pressure readings are precisely transmitted to the illuminated display. This can be attached to the handlebars or in the cockpit. It permanently shows the data from the front and rear tires in real time. The tire pressure monitoring system switches on as soon as the tire rotates, but it takes a few seconds before the current value is displayed. If the pressure or temperature deviates from the preselected value, the control system triggers an alarm. The units of measurement can be switched between degrees Celsius and Fahrenheit as well as bar and PSI. The housing of the display is waterproof and is either glued or screwed to the motorcycle, but the supposedly theft-proof screw turns out to be a normal lock nut. The manufacturer promises a battery life of at least two years.

The Autmor TPMS tire pressure control system shows the air pressure of both tires while driving. The temperature information is more a guide than an exact value.

Michelin tire pressure control system Tire giant Michelin delivers an alternative to the automobile -System. The tire pressure control system for motorcycles transmits the data to the round display, which is located with a bracket on the handlebar, in the cockpit or can be attached to the cladding. Unfortunately, the magnet and adhesive tape are not particularly strong, so the bracket should be as horizontal as possible. The information for both tires in the easy-to-read display is precise with only minor deviations. The Michelin system works with the so-called SAS system, which automatically performs the calibration and radio connection between the sensor and the display. Unfortunately, the small batteries in the pressure sensors cannot be replaced, but they are supposed to last for at least three years. The individual sensors can be bought later, they cost around 24 Euro the Piece.

The Michelin tire pressure monitoring system is a very practical system that gives the driver permanent security about the air pressure in the tires.

Bosch Easy Pump battery Who not only measure, but if necessary immediately still want to inflate, you should take a look at the Bosch Easy Pump battery. The device not only measures the pressure in the tire very accurately, it is also a compressor. Thanks to an integrated battery, it can hold up to 10, pump 3 bar into the tire. The flexible hose is 20 Centimeters long and can be easily connect to the motorcycle valve. The user can preselect the desired pressure in the digital and illuminated display and the Easy Pump battery switches off automatically when the pressure is reached. The battery is charged practically via USB-C. In addition, there are various adapters for bicycle, ball and air mattress valves in the handle. Due to its length of 215 millimeters and its weight of 423 Gram, it is rather unsuitable for motorcycle tours, but performs very well in the home garage, in the trunk or in the caravan.

With Easy Pump, Bosch offers a fascinating little battery pump with an accurate pressure display. If you want to make your life much easier, you can hardly avoid the Easy Pump.

Osram Tyreinflate 450 An alternative to the Bosch device comes from Osram. The Osram Tyreinflate 450 can be accessed via a 12 – Operate the volt charging socket and inflate tires in a short time. The digital display not only shows the current tire pressure, but the desired value can also be preselected there. A bar display provides information about the increasing pressure in the tire. The Osram Tyreinflate 450 has an automatic stop function as soon as the value is reached and can pump up to 5.5 bar pressure. The 65 Centimeter long, flexible hose reaches every motorcycle valve that 330 Centimeter long power cable is neatly wound up in the housing. Valve adapters for motorcycle / car, bicycle and balls are included.

Osram offers here with the Tyreinflate 423 a compact and practical device to check the tire pressure and at the push of a button to correct.

Conclusion Motorcyclists know how vital the correct air pressure is. It helps if you don’t have to rely on the devices at petrol stations, but have one that you can use and that always shows the same information. The wireless measuring systems are also a practical aid, as they automatically display the important information in the cockpit.

If you have more space, you should also use the Bosch Easy Pump or the Osram Tyreinflate 450 invest. Then you not only have a precise check of the pressure, but can also inflate on site if necessary. The fact that the devices also inflate bicycles, balls or air mattresses is a nice bonus that makes them perfect for a trip to the lake or as a companion in the caravan. We show alternatives to the two pumps in the article Mobile electric air pumps from Xiaomi & Co. in comparison.

Best Android phone 2020: Which is the top Android phone to buy today?

(Pocket-lint) – The world of Android phones is very different to the world of Apple phones. Apple aims to give you the same experience across its devices whereas Android embraces variety, with phones from different manufacturers having a very different personality – and different features.

That means personal brand preference plays a big part, aside from the core Android experience. Pricing is hugely competitive, presenting you with a lot of choices.

Here’s our run down of the very best Android phones you can buy and the reasons why they deserve your attention.

Our pick of all the best smartphones including Apple

Pocket-lint

OnePlus 8 Pro

squirrel_widget_233185

The OnePlus 8 Pro is undoubtedly the company’s most complete smartphone to date and one of the best Android phones out there. It has a big and brilliant display, long-lasting and fast-charging battery, IP68 waterproofing, a great main and wide-angle camera on the back, plus software that’s fluid and lightweight.

There are a few things that stop this device being perfect – the color filter camera seems like it’s only there for the claim of quad, the telephoto camera isn’t class-leading either and not all will see the benefit of a 120Hz screen.

Overall though, the OnePlus 8 Pro delivers a true flagship experience that offers everything you could want and it’s still less expensive than its big-name competition.

Samsung Galaxy S20+

The Samsung Galaxy S series has long been the flagship series to beat in the Android world. And with Samsung still commanding a sizeable chunk of the market, it’s one that’s easier to recommend buying in 2020.

With the big-name comes a big experience. The awesome display on the front dominates the available space, with the hole-punch camera being only a minor distraction from an otherwise glorious display.

Inside, you get all the power you could wish for, and performance to match. It’s fast, fluid, goes all day and has one of the most versatile cameras available on any smartphone.

Samsung Galaxy S20 FE

The S20 FE joined the S20 family to offer a more affordable entry point to the series. It offers much the same spec and performance as the top models, but makes a few compromises to offer a more attractive price point.

Those are compromises we think are worth taking, because the use of plastic on the rear isn’t a huge loss and the the 1080p display is a great performer with that 120Hz refresh rate.

While there’s no 3.5mm headphone socket, you get microSD, flagship Qualcomm hardware (globally), good speakers and waterproofing.

Oppo Find X2 Pro

Oppo has adjusted quickly to the western market. It’s quickly adapted its software to more closely match what the European market prefers from an Android phone, and now, its ColorOS user interface is much better than the mess it used to be.

The Oppo Find X2 Pro has a stunning 120Hz OLED screen that delivers in resolution, color and refresh rate, while the powerful hardware and solid battery innings will take pretty much anything you throw at it. The versatile triple camera system is impressive too, even if night mode can’t beat the competition.

With Huawei’s presence looking more questionable in Europe, it looks as though Oppo has come out fighting to take that spot in the flagship phone space. The X2 Pro’s problem? That the OnePlus 8 Pro exists for less money.

Google Pixel 4a 5G

In Google’s Pixel family, it’s the Pixel 4a 5G that appeals. It offers the same experience as the Pixel 5, but it has a larger display, has better speakers and costs less money. It misses out on a few things – it only offers a 60Hz display, there’s no wireless charging and no waterproofing, but otherwise, it’s a great experience.

Importantly, you get the full Pixel camera experience, so you can rest assured that this sub-flagship phone will offer some of the best images you’ll get from a smartphone and all at a price that’s hard to argue with.

It might not sport a flagship processor under the hood, but being able to get an almost full Pixel experience at a fraction of the cost of the full Pixel 4 is fantastic. This phone is all about lowering the price barrier, enabling you to get to that excellent Pixel camera without needing hefty wad of cash.

It runs the same clean, enhanced version of Android as the Pixel 4 family, and there’s some AI smarts being used to ensure that the software and animations all runs as smoothly as you’d expect from a more powerful phone.

OnePlus Nord

After years of climbing the price ladder with its standard and Pro model phones all sporting flagship Qualcomm processors, the OnePlus Nord is the first device from the company that doesn’t.

Instead, the Nord joins the flurry of mid-range phones with the Snapdragon 765 chipset under its hood and it offers a highly competitive experience for its price tag.

It’s got 5G, lots of storage, a big and fast display, fast-charging, and a software experience that’s fluid and clean. Its main camera is good, too, even if the others are just a distraction. As affordable phones go, the Nord is easily one of the best phones in its price range.

Motorola Moto G8 Power

The Moto G Power or G8 Power in the UK, might not be the flashiest, all-singing all-dancing phone on the list, but for the money, it shows that the Moto G brand is still the king of budget smartphones.

It sits right in budget phone territory, has a big screen, expandable storage, clean and fluid software and enough power to make it useable on the daily.

It’s got a slightly weak camera, slow Wi-Fi and no NFC, but the battery life is absolutely phenomenal for a smartphone and it improves upon the Moto G7 in most departments – screen, design, storage. If you’re shopping on a budget: the Moto G8 Power is the class-leading affordable phone.

Moto e7: Motorola's low-mid-range smartphone has arrived

The US company launches its device economical with interesting technical specifications. Motorola guarantees excellent autonomy and a 48 MP camera at a low price

by Lorenzo Tirotta published 25 November 2020 , at 08: 01 in the Telephony channel

Motorola

Motorola has formalized the launch of its cheap smartphone Moto e7 , the younger brother of the Moto e7 Plus announced in September. The US brand has decided to create a smartphone with cutting-edge features at an affordable price for everyone, in an attempt to satisfy a medium-low target of customers.

Motoe7, here are the technical characteristics

Moto 7 is equipped with a dual rear camera , a large 6.5 inch display and an autonomy, Motorola guarantees, up to 36 hours of activity . The main camera sensor boasts 48 MP with Quad pixel technology that allows you to merge the pixels and increase the sensitivity to light in case of low light, while the second sensor 2MP Macro Vision allows you to take pictures even from close distances. The selfie cam is from 5 MP . The smartphone mounts a 6.5 inch panel with HD + resolution and the processor on board is the MediaTek Helio G 25 2.0 GHz octa-core with paired 2GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal memory expandable via MicroSD, all powered by a battery) 4000 mAh . The device is equipped with the HyperEngine technology that promises higher graphics performance and better gaming experience.

Moto e7 is equipped with fingerprint sensor located on the Motorola logo in the back of the device, the USB type-C port and the 3.5mm headphone jack. The operating system used is stock-like Android , there is also on the right side a button dedicated to Google Assistant via voice assistant support.

Motorola Moto e7 will be available in Italy from December in the Mineral Gray color at the introductory price of 139, 90 EUR.

Moto G9 Power to arrive as Lenovo K12 Pro in select markets

Motorola introduced the Moto G9 Power earlier this month with a Snapdragon 662 chipset and a €200 price tag in Europe. Now, the parent company Lenovo is planning to launch the very same phone under a new name, likely for new markets. According to an FCC listing, it will be called Lenovo K12 Pro and will be virtually the same aside from the logo on the back.

The phone also appeared on TENAA with specs and features, confirming that we are indeed talking about the Moto G9 Power under a new disguise. With specs like Snapdragon 662 and a 720p screen, as well as the unimpressive secondary cameras on the back, no wonder Lenovo is trying to relaunch the phone with a new moniker.

It also has to do something with brand recognition – while Moto is well received in Europe and Latin America, other regions, including the domestic scene in China, still prefer Lenovo. The launch date has not been revealed yet, but surely the Lenovo K12 Pro is right around the corner since it is already certified in multiple countries.

Motorola Moto E7 unveiled with a 48MP camera, Helio G25 chipset

The Moto E7 is finally official, a couple of months after the Moto E7 Plus went live. The two phones are quite similar, naturally, this is just the more affordable version. How much more affordable does it get than a €150/₹13,000 phone, which is currently discounted to €112/₹9,500? Well, keep in mind the pre-discount prices of the Plus as the vanilla E7 will start at €110-120 in Europe.

The major differences between the vanilla and Plus versions of the E7 are the chipset and the battery. The Moto E7 is powered by the MediaTek Helio G25 chipset, which has eight Cortex-A53 CPU cores and an IMG GE8320 GPU at 650 MHz. The Plus model is equipped with the more capable Snapdragon 460 chipset. Even more important is the memory configuration – the vanilla phone gets only half, meaning 2 GB of RAM and 32 GB storage.

The E7 has a 4,000 mAh battery, compared to 5,000 mAh on the Plus. Motorola says that this is enough to last 36 hours of use. Plus, the 10W charger will have an easier time filling it up. If you want faster charging (20W), you’ll have to look at the G-series.

Motorola Moto E7 in Aqua blue, Satin coral and Mineral grey

The rest is more or less identical between the two models. The E7 has a 6.5” IPS LCD with a resolution of 720 x 1,600 px (20:9).

The main camera on the rear has a 48 MP sensor with a bright f/1.7 aperture and 1.6 µm pixels when binning is enabled. It is joined by a 2 MP module, designated as a macro camera this time. The third module is in a teardrop notch on the front, a 5 MP selfie camera (f/2.2, 1.22 µm).

Unfortunately, the chipset limits video recording to 1080p at 30 fps. Not that the Snapdragon-powered E7 Plus does much better, it too is capped at 1080p resolution, but at least it goes up to 60 fps. The Moto G9 Play (also known as just G9 in India, ₹11,000) has an even more powerful Snapdragon 662 and can’t do 4K either, but that’s just market differentiation by Motorola.

The E7 is slightly thinner and lighter than the Plus version (8.9 vs. 9.2 mm and 180g vs. 200g). Both phones have plastic bodies, but note the textured back on this one (the Plus has a smooth finish). There isn’t full water resistance, but the water-repellent coating on the internals should protect them from accidental spills.

The Moto E7 has 4G connectivity with different bands for South America, Europe and the Asia-Pacific/Middle East regions. The card slot is a hybrid design, so it can take a two nanoSIMs or a nanoSIM and a microSD (up to 512 GB, which you may need, considering the limited internal storage).

USB-C port on the bottom • 3.5 mm headphone jack on top • fingerprint reader on the back

Additional connectivity is provided by the USB-C port on the bottom and the 3.5 mm jack on top. An FM radio receiver is on board and can be used over headphones or the single loudspeaker. Local wireless data is handled by Wi-Fi b/g/n at 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth 5.0, but note that there’s no NFC. There’s a fingerprint reader embedded on the back.

The Moto E7 is coming to Europe this December and should be available in other regions soon as well. Depending on the region, the retail box will include a headset and/or a protective cover.

Moto E7: Entry-level smartphone for 110 euros comes in December

Lenovo is bringing a new entry-level cell phone to Germany: According to the manufacturer, the Moto E7 will be available from the end of December and costs 110 euros. The budget phone has the fingerprint sensor on the back, the front of the display is interrupted by a droplet notch.

The manufacturer uses the Moto E7 to a dual camera on the back. The main camera with its 48 megapixels is supplemented by a macro camera. There is a 5 megapixel selfie camera on the front.

Motorola promises stock Android The Moto E7’s LC display is quite large at 6.5 inches, but only shows a resolution of 720 x 1560 pixels. Buyers also have to cut back on the rest of the hardware equipment: the RAM in particular is very small at 2 GB. The internal storage space of 32 GByte can be expanded using a microSD card.

On the other hand, the battery with 4000 mAh is average. In view of the comparatively low hardware performance and the low-resolution display, it could even last a little longer than more expensive smartphones with a similar battery size. Inside the Moto E7 there is also the SoC MediaTek Helio G 25 – a processor that is also used in the Redmi 9A. It has eight cores with 2.0 GHz.

As is usual with Motorola cell phones, Lenovo promises a largely unchanged Android experience based on version 10. According to the manufacturer, bloatware is not installed on the Moto E7.

Close One week after the start of the Xbox Series X and S, competitor Sony in Europe sends the Playstation 5 into the next-gen race. We’ll show you which accessories make the PS5 even better.

Before we introduce headsets, charging stations, Sony’s official PS5 accessories and more in this guide, an important note: Since the PS5 – just like the Xbox Series X / S – attaches great importance to Most of the PS4 accessories also work on the PS5. Whether headset, steering wheel or arcade stick, most gadgets do their job without any problems. In terms of PS4 gamepads and external memory expansions, however, there are restrictions that we explain in more detail in the text.

The official headset: Sony Pulse 3D As with the launch of PS3 and PS4, Sony is also offering an official headset for the PS5 launch. It bears the futuristic name ” Pulse 3D Wireless Headset “, brings about 300 grams on the scales and is coupled to the Playstation 5 via the supplied USB dongle. A coupling with the PS4, Windows PCs and Mac is also possible and worked without any problems in the practical test.

The USB dongle sends on the 2.4 GHz frequency and takes care of it Distances of up to ten meters for interference-free transmission. Super: A 1, 25 Meter-long jack cable is included and allows wired operation or use with other devices with a jack plug input on request.

The Pulse 3D Wireless Headset including the supplied USB dongle. The Pulse 3D Wireless Headset scores well when it comes to wearing comfort. The main reasons for this are the elastic band underneath the headband, which hardly exerts any pressure on the head, and the pleasantly soft padded ear cups. In addition: The control buttons on the outside of the left ear cups are all very easy to reach. Be it the volume control, the mute button, the balance control between game sound and chat volume or the monitor button – after a short time you can find the controls without any problems and without looking. Keyword monitor button: It enables the user to check how their own microphone sound sounds to other players.

Let’s get to the sound quality. Be it now Astro’s Playroom , Sackboy: A Big Adventure , Demon’s Souls or Spider-Man: Miles Morales – the sound goes right into the ear and enables very precise location of noise sources for games that support Sony’s Tempest 3D AudioTech. Bass-heavy situations like explosions or collapsing buildings also come into their own.

And the microphone? Strictly speaking, there are two of them: one above and one below the left auricle. Both are embedded directly into the headphones, have noise-canceling technology and reproduce chat conversations in good quality. However, as expected, they cannot keep up with professional podcaster microphones acoustically.

Conclusion: At the price of just under 100 Euro, the Pulse 3D Wireless is a really successful headset, with good ergonomics, great sound quality and a chic design that fits perfectly with the PS5. The biggest point of criticism remains the battery: After nine to ten hours of intensive gaming, it has to be recharged using the UBS-C cable provided. Headsets from other manufacturers last much longer.

Headphones and headsets Sony’s Pulse 3D Wireless is a great all-rounder at a fair price. If you want even more comfort and features, you will also find convincing alternatives from numerous other manufacturers. We would like to briefly introduce two of them at this point. On the one hand the Stealth 700 Gen 2 from Turtle Beach. Compared to the previous model, Turtle Beach has improved in many areas and thus created a professional headset that is available at a price of approx. 150 Euro leaves little to be desired.

That starts with the supple auricles made of memory foam, the Thanks to the gel core, they hardly heat up even when worn for long periods of time, thanks to the flexible material they also fit perfectly with glasses wearers and can be easily removed for cleaning. The high level of comfort is supported by a metal-reinforced headband with very comfortable padding on the inside.

Thanks 50 mm nanoclear driver gives the stealth 700 Gen 2 acoustically decent gas, delivers powerful bass and nuanced highs. If you like, you can also use the companion app “Turtle Beach Audio Hub” to adjust the sound experience in detail, reassign certain headset buttons and – Bluetooth makes it possible – even integrate cell phone calls directly into the audio feed. The foldable microphone earns praise: it captures what is being said crystal clear and can be intuitively muted by simply flipping it up. The all-round carefree package is rounded off by terrific funk performance and a 1000 – mAh battery that is running out 20 for hours.

The look des Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 2 is simple, but still chic. The Arctis 7P Wireless from Steelseries. Be it the excellent wearing comfort, the high system flexibility (PS5, PS4, PC, Android, switch) thanks to the supplied USB-C dongle, the excellent wireless connection via 2.4 GHz frequency, the convincing sound with its very well-coordinated bass and heights or the phenomenal battery life of up to 23 hours – the Arctis 7P is worth its high price of 180 Euro more than fair. On top of that, it also goes well with the new Sony console in terms of color.

If you don’t want to dig deep into your pocket after buying expensive consoles and games for a headset, you should take a look at das Head: Set 5 from Snakebyte. At a bargain price of just 17 Euro you get a soundproof headset with 40 – mm audio drivers, a 1.2 meter jack cable and some practical convenience functions. The latter include the detachable and removable microphone with pop protection, a volume control and mute button on the cable, as well as the option to fold the ear cups inwards, which makes transport noticeably easier. As a little treat, Snakebyte also includes a right-angled headset holder, which can be attached to the desk etc. with two adhesive strips.

charging station The DualSense controllers offer – depending on the intensity of the vibration effects – an average of around twelve hours of gaming. It is then charged using the USB-C cable supplied ex works or one of the numerous charging stations that appeared at the launch. The official one from Sony is called DualSense Charging Station , costs just under 35 Euro and works exactly like its predecessor for PS4. In other words: The controllers are placed in two troughs arranged one behind the other, where they can recharge their batteries using the contact surfaces next to the headset connection on the underside of the Dual Sense. Well done: Sony’s charging station takes up the typical V-design of the PS5 front and, like this one, is black and white.

Visually, it hits a very similar notch Twin: Charge 5 from Snakebyte. Here, too, up to two DualSense controllers snap into place one behind the other in a black and white docking station. The two charging indicators on the front of the Twin show whether a controller is actually being charged: Charge 5. To ensure that the charging station is securely held on smooth surfaces, Snakebyte also provides four anti-slip rubbers on the underside. Cost: 19, 95 Euro – and therefore just under 15 Euros less than the Sony variant.

The front of the Snakebyte Twin: Charge 5 is oriented on the V-shaped PS5 design. Another interesting one, also about 20 Euro expensive charging solution comes from Blade . The principle here: Instead of charging the controller via the contacts near the headset connection, a so-called mini-safe plug is plugged into the USB-C port of the DualSense and then placed in the station. Advantage: The controller does not protrude as high when charging as with the first-mentioned alternative, which is useful if you want to stow the charging station in a rather low shelf compartment. Disadvantage with Blade: If you don’t keep the two mini-safe plugs provided in the compartments provided in the station, you run the risk of losing the tiny ones. Do something different again it Raptor Gaming . Here you plug the pads for charging directly into two USB-C ports that look out of the middle part of the futuristic station on the left and right. So that everything is safely stowed away, the pads are also placed on a small storage area. Charging indicators are also provided. With a price of approx. 29 Euro, however, the Raptor variant is significantly more expensive than the versions of Snakebyte and Blade.

Accessories for Twitch streamers and YouTubers In addition to the Pulse 3D Wireless Headset and the Charging Station Sony also offers other official accessories. This includes the HD camera equipped with two full HD wide-angle lenses . The pleasantly compact camera has an integrated stand and is either clamped to the top of the screen or the television or placed on the surface below. A further fine adjustment of the camera angle is then possible via two rotating hinges in the base.

On screens with a border thickness of up to The HD camera has a great hold of five centimeters. With everything beyond that, things get shaky. Once connected to a USB port on the PS5 with the two meter long cable and successfully set up in the accessories menu, the HD camera is primarily used to show the player in a small window in the video when broadcasting Twitch or YouTube live streams. The location of the display can be specified in the options menu.

If the HD camera is used in conjunction with the PS5’s own video editing program Share Factory, it is also possible to use the background from the recording to remove and replace with another. This worked best in the test with a green or red background. White room walls, on the other hand, were less suitable. It is also a shame that this function is currently not available for streaming.

At the moment, the HD camera is not compatible with PlayStation VR. The latter still only works via the PS4 camera, which in turn is connected to the PS5 with the so-called PlayStation Camera Adapter. Tip: You can request the adapter free of charge from Sony after entering the serial number of the PS VR headset.

Remote control for Film and series fans The round 30 Euro expensive Media remote control has a white and black PS5 design and is primarily aimed at all those who like their next-gen console to watch Blu-rays and as a player want to use for streaming services. It is therefore not surprising that shortcut buttons for Disney +, Netflix, Spotify and YouTube have been placed at the bottom of the remote control. However, the respective assignment and labeling cannot be changed. So if you want to reprogram a button on Amazon Prime and one on Hulu, for example, look into the tube.

The Media Remote weighs just once 85 grams and lies comfortably in the hand. Above the shortcut buttons are the standard interaction buttons (fast forward and rewind, play / pause, level back, menu) as well as a 4-way directional pad with a centrally positioned selection button. All buttons have a solid pressure point and are not only used to control media playback, but also for convenient navigation through the entire PS5 system menu.

The keys in the upper third of the Media Remote. They allow rudimentary functions such as adjusting the volume or muting the audio output on compatible TVs.

Unfortunately, the microphone button at the top of the cannot be used at the moment Middle of the media remote control. It will most likely serve a voice control function planned for the future. When Sony will add this function for the console and remote control has not yet been determined.

Controller Games developed for the PlayStation 5 must all use the DualSense Controller from Sony, especially since only this one has adaptive triggers and noticeably improved vibration functions. Conversely, this means: If you need additional gamepads for PS5 games suitable for co-op or multiplayer, you currently do not need to buy additional DualSense controllers.

Very important: Playstation-4- Controllers can be connected to the PS5, but only to play backward compatible PS4 and PS VR titles. It is not yet clear when third-party manufacturers will offer alternatives to the official DualSense controller.

Memory expansions Similar to Microsoft, Sony offers an officially certified NVMe SSD with which the internal memory can be expanded. If you want to add more fast storage to the console, you have to retrofit a compact, PCIe 4.0 compatible SSD via an M.2 interface. The slot required for this is located inside the console and is accessible if you carefully push the right side wall of the console (the one without the PS5 logo) downwards with both hands. Now remove the cover of the SSD slot and the memory expansion can be installed.

However, there is currently one crucial problem: A list of certified expansion SSDs, which anyway hl fit in the slot and are fast enough to deliver the performance of the integrated SSD is not yet available. As a result, it is currently not possible to expand the SSD storage for PS5 games. In view of the huge size of many games, it shouldn’t take too long until the corresponding memory expansions find their way onto the market.

Similar to the Xbox Series S / X but you can help yourself with USB storage devices. If you want to install PS4 games on the PS5, you can do this as usual on a external storage medium as long as this is connected via USB 3.0 and via the console has been formatted accordingly. Inexpensive models for this purpose include the My Passport hard drives from Western Digital with, for example, 4 TB or the 6 TB model of the Expansion product line from Seagate.

Storage systems Order must be! This not only applies to the home desk, but also to everything to do with gamepads, accessories and game packaging. If you have just bought a PS5 and want to neatly stow the things just mentioned in one place, you should get the Games: Tower 5 by Note snakebyte. In a kind of mini-shelf, users can store up to four controllers, ten games and smaller accessories such as the media remote control presented above in a well-organized manner.

The Games: Tower 5 ensures order on the gamer’s desk. The construction of the accessory tower is a bit cumbersome at first, as the plastic parts only snap into place with a lot of pressure. But once you have overcome this hurdle and removed the protective film on the anti-slip pads on the underside, the Games: Tower 5 does very well and is stable.

Exciting for multi-format gamers: In addition to DualSense controllers, the controller holders on the outside are also suitable for all common wireless PS4, Xbox One and switch pads. The slots for the games are so high that PS4, Xbox One and Switch titles can easily be accommodated in them.

Conclusion There are already enough exciting accessories for the Playstation 5 at the start. It’s just a shame that PS5 games can only be played with the – admittedly excellent – DualSense controller. At least for titles with locally playable co-op or multiplayer mode, Sony should make an exception. In the long term, however, it is to be expected that third-party manufacturers will also be able to offer their own pads for the PS5.

The current status quo is also somewhat unsatisfactory in terms of additional storage for PS5 -Games. 667 GB of free space on the system’s ultra-fast SSD is a start on But definitely not enough in the long run for most gaming enthusiasts. It is to be hoped that Sony will certify compatible SSDs as soon as possible and communicate clearly which memory expansions will ultimately allow further PS5 game installations.

If you are looking for a suitable TV, We recommend our TV purchase advice for PS5 and Xbox Series X. In our Consoles theme world, we also have further tests, for example for Xbox or various retro consoles.

Motorola Nio – The specification of the flagship may give cause for concern

Over the years, Motorola has limited its operations to the mid-to-low end, but the Edge + model has shown that the company intends to return to the world of flagships. This is also indicated by reports on the manufacturer’s further activities. Motorola Nio, known as XT 2125 appeared in the latest report, thanks to which we can read the partial technical specification of the device. I would like to be able to write that it will be a powerful smart phone that will be able to compete with the other flagships, but I will not. While the form of the design and some of its features have a chance to attract customers, I am worried about the Qualcomm Snapdragon chip 865.

Motorola Nio known as XT 2125 is the manufacturer’s flagship next year. We know its partial technical specification and we are concerned about the mobile processor used in the device ..

Motorola Edge test: About a beautiful average, who wanted to be a flagship

Next year’s flagships using Qualcomm chips will certainly use the version 875. This is the natural order of things, but as is usually the case with this type of thing, there are exceptions. This will be Motorola Nio coded XT 2125. Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 will be used in the mentioned smartphone. This chip will support 8 or 12 GB of RAM and 128, or 256 GB of memory for user data. The image will be displayed on a screen with a resolution of 2520 x 1080 pixels with a refresh rate of 90 or even 120 Hz. That’s not all, we also know a bit about cameras.

Motorola Razr 5G smartphone test – spectacular flap and flexible screen

In Motorola Nio we can expect a triple photo module consisting of 64 Mpix of the main unit known from Moto G9 Plus model, 16 Mpix ultra wide angle and 2 Mpix depth sensor. We will take self-portraits, i.e. popular selfie photos, using a double camera on the front. Sensors 16 Mpix and 8 Mpix are responsible for its capabilities. So it will not be a typical flagship, and thus, in my opinion, it can be a cheaper version of the flagship. Perhaps Motorola will also present the Nio + model, but at the moment these are only speculations.

Motorola Moto G10 Play – we know almost everything about a smartphone

Motorola has a lot of cheap and good smartphones in its offer, so we can assume that the next series of budgeters will not disappoint fans of this brand . The well-known manufacturer is slowly getting ready to present devices from the Moto G family 10, which will include several models. The cheapest of them usually receives the entry Play and we suspect that it will be no different this time, especially since the smartphone with the working name of Motorola Moto G Play (2021) was just tested in Geekbench. It’s almost certainly a G 10 Play, and its specification is quite interesting. Add to this the previous, reliable renders and it turns out that we already know quite a lot about the new Motorola handset.

Motorola G 10 Play promises to be worse than the G9 Play model, which is now on sale, therefore we have every right to demand a correspondingly lower price. Let the producer not disappoint us with this.

The premiere of the smartphone Motorola Moto G9 Power – 60 h without charging

Motorola’s upcoming device will be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon processor 460 and will receive only 3 GB of RAM, which for more demanding users will certainly will be disqualifying. The phone received 253 points on the single-core test and 1233 points in the multi-core test These results are similar to those obtained by other devices powered by Snapdragon 460. The Geekbench screen also reveals that the phone will run on Android 10.

In addition, the Motorola Moto G 10 Play will receive a 6.5-inch IPS display with a hole for webcam in the upper left corner. On the back we find a triple main camera. It is also worth noting that the fingerprint reader will land on the side frame this time. The strongest side of the smartphone will undoubtedly be the working time on a single charge, mainly due to the battery 4850 mAh. In addition, there is talk of the presence of a 3.5 mm mini-jack connector, however, unfortunately, nothing is known about the NFC module. What can I say – G 10 Play promises to be worse than the G9 Play (SD (SD 662, 4 GB RAM, 5000 mAh), therefore we have every right to demand a correspondingly lower price. Let the manufacturer not disappoint us with this.

Will there be small smartphones again?

How many people really want a small smartphone? If you sort small phones in the Pricewatch from 2020 – maximum 15 x6,6cm for example – then you will only find two models: the iPhone SE 2020 and iPhone 12 mini, not coincidentally from the same manufacturer: Apple.

In the category of slightly larger phones, there is plenty of choice with, for example, the Google Pixel 4a and Samsung Galaxy S 20, but those phones are a lot bigger. A new phenomenon is not: phones have been getting bigger for years and Sony’s Compact series of small smartphones started way back in 2013.

With the arrival of the iPhone 12 mini, the question arises whether this step by Apple will find. In short: will we now see more smartphones with a really small housing?

Figures An average phone has become increasingly larger in recent years. This is evident from figures in our Pricewatch. If we look at the size of the average telephone, then every year a little bit is added, especially in length.

In figures you can also see this: the average goes from 14, 5x7cm in 2014 to 16 x7.5cm now. But what is striking: phones in 2014 weren’t really small either. For example, the iPhone 12 mini is 13, 1×6.4cm, a lot smaller than the 14, 5x7cm of the Moto G 2nd Gen which was average in 2014.

This shows a clear trend: phones are getting a lot longer and a little bit wider. That corresponds to screen proportions: where phones in 2014 to 2016 almost all have a 16: 9 screen, it now fluctuates between 19: 9 and 21: 9. This has resulted in screens appearing much larger – diagonals of 6.5 “are now quite normal – while screens are mainly longer.

The width has increased a bit, but even wider phones hold less hold tight and don’t fit so well in trouser pockets, which are some of the reasons why phones have gotten longer.

An iPhone 12 mini can be called small with 13, 1×6, 4cm The same goes for Sony’s Compact phones from a few years ago, the latest of which is the XZ2 Compact from 13, 5×6.5cm. As telephones are now longer, we have taken 14 x6,6cm as the limit for a small phone.

If you fill in that and look at how many phone models comply with it, then that will indeed become less and less. In 2014 these were 30 percent of all models, now less than 1 percent. Except d e iPhone 12 mini only satisfies the iPhone SE 2020 to that format

But maybe that is unfair and so we have used another calculation method. How many phones have appeared with no more than three-quarters of the surface – length times width – of an average phone of that year?

The percentages are lower, but the picture is the same: many phones have around the same area. Obviously, there is arguing about where you should set the boundary of ‘small’, but the picture is that the number of small telephones in absolute and relative terms has fallen to almost zero in recent years.

The why Would you buy a phone with a single camera, without 5G and with a battery life of half a day? If you think this does not sound like an attractive offer, you will immediately see why hardly anyone has a small phone in their range anymore.

Because the number of components that manufacturers want to put into phones is serious grown. Multiple cameras, some with large sensors, a high capacity battery and the antennas to receive 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G, wifi, bluetooth, NFC and GPS all take up space.

Sony – the great example in the Android field that compact phones are possible – looked for the thickness with its Compact series. The XZ2 Compact from 2018 is therefore relatively small, but with 12, 1mm very thick; the average at the time was around 8.5mm. This allowed a 2870 mAh battery in it.

The battery capacity is also where iPhones sacrifice. The iPhone SE 2020 has a 1821 mAh battery, the iPhone 12 mini does it with a 2227 mAh battery and that’s about half the that of an average smartphone today. The housing thereof is 7.4 mm or thin again.

The fact that Apple can get away with that is partly due to the economy of iOS: Apple’s phones squeeze a relatively long battery life from their small batteries. . The iPhone SE scores about average on our battery tests, maybe slightly below.

That is also what top people of Xiaomi subsidiary brand Redmi have said. Smaller phones are possible, but then you lose battery life, Wang Cheng Tomas said on Weibo this summer. Other manufacturers don’t let on the record know anything, but the portfolio speaks volumes: Samsung has stopped smaller models such as the A3 phones and the S 10 e did not get a successor either. Xiaomi also did not give smaller models a successor and Sony stopped its Compact phones. Google is the only one to make the opposite step this year: the Pixel 4 XL didn’t get a successor, and the Pixel 4a and 5 are among the smallest phones released this year.

These are all technical reasons , but there are other considerations as well. The use of telephones is increasingly about video on, for example, TikTok, YouTube or Netflix. So many people want a bigger screen for that reason. A smaller screen is more suitable for users who mainly use phones as a means of communication, for example WhatsApp and e-mail.

Figures on this are difficult to find, but when it comes to smartphones with small screens you can do conclude the following: if they had been a big and resounding success, we would have seen more small telephones by now. Manufacturers such as Samsung and Sony would never stop with small phones if there was sufficient demand.

Outside the mainstream, some niche phones with a small housing have appeared. Among these are, for example, last year’s Palm Phone, although it only worked as a secondary telephone with the American provider Verizon Wireless. Another initiative is the Unihertz Jelly 2 from earlier this year, a 3 “screen phone that was available to order through Kickstarter. The campaign has been successful, so he’s coming to backers next month There are 5323, which sounds like a lot until you consider that more than a billion smartphones are sold annually.

Finally The release of the iPhone 12 mini will be followed with great interest in all boardrooms of smartphone makers. How do users respond? What is the battery life? Do people think this size is fine or is it too small? It is like a large-scale user test for the smartphone market.

If the iPhone 12 mini flies out of the stores and produces satisfied users, then it is obvious that there will also be Android models with smaller cases – if only to try and get a piece of the pie Each phone is a compromise but which compromises are the most acceptable? Could the battery be smaller? Can a camera be removed? Can there be a function? How fat can we make him?

Those are all questions that could arise. But with the disappearance of the XL versions of the Google Pixel phones and the appearance of the iPhone 12 mini in any case it is clear that the compact phone is not completely gone yet. The market segment still exists, but the question is whether it will grow in the coming period or whether it will remain small.

Moto G Stylus 2021 – we got to know the almost complete specification

A huge leak has appeared on the network with the technical specifications of the successor to this year’s Motorola Moto G Stylus smartphone. I have already had the opportunity to test the first generation of the device, which in Europe is called Motorola Moto G Pro. The phone was to be an alternative for people who can not afford to buy Samsung Galaxy Note series smartphones, and who necessarily want to take advantage of the possibilities offered by the stylus. To evaluate the device, I refer you to my test publication. Today we’re taking Moto G Stylus wallpaper 2021, which I think will also hit our market under a slightly different name. Although the specification is unofficial, the data source has repeatedly proven the verifiability of reports.

We got to know the technical specification of the Moto G Stylus smartphone 2021. The progress compared to the predecessor is visible on the screen, processor and camera. Here are the details.

Motorola Moto G Pro.

Motorola Moto G Pro – test of a smartphone with a stylus and Android One

I remember Windows Phone devices in which the stylus was an inseparable element. Operating a smartphone with a resistive screen was not particularly convenient, and the stylus significantly increased the comfort of use. With the growing popularity of capacitive screens, the market slowly forgotten about the stylus, although some manufacturers offered devices dedicated to the mentioned method of operation. A good example here will be the Samsung Galaxy Note. The potential was also noticed by LG and Motorola, which released the Stylus and Moto G Stylus models. Apparently, the idea turned out to be successful, because the second smartphone will be followed directly. We already know the technical configuration.

Samsung Galaxy Note smartphone test 20: Is it worth the money?

Moto G Stylus 2021, because that’s what the device will probably be called, it will be equipped with 6, 81 – inch screen with resolution 2400 x 1080 pixels, Qualcomm Snapdragon chip, 4 GB RAM and data memory of 64 or 128 GB depending on the version selected. We will take photos with the main camera consisting of units 48 Mpix, 8 Mpix, 2 Mpix and 2 Mpix, and also using the front camera for selfies with a resolution of 16 Mpix. The Android system will watch over the efficient operation of the device equipped with a battery with a capacity 4000 mAh. . Of course, there will also be a stylus and a fingerprint scanner on the side edge of the housing. You only need an NFC module for happiness, but we won’t have one here.

Weekly poll: who is in for a Moto G9 Power or Moto G 5G and who is out?

After all these years Motorola’s G-series can still draw in a crowd – the company announced two new models this week, one will sell for €200, the other for €300, both are ranking pretty highly in our daily interest statistics.

Let’s look at the Moto G9 Power first. Long story short, you’ll be getting a 64MP camera and just enough computing power to do image processing, a large screen and a battery to last a marathon. Doesn’t sound too bad for €200, does it?

Okay, that 6.8” screen has only 720p+ resolution, which isn’t great for text or even watching videos (if you have good eyesight, at least – if not the size is a plus). And the phone technically has a triple, camera though the 2MP macro cam and 2MP depth sensor are mostly for decoration. Also, the Snapdragon 662 didn’t prove itself to be a great performer in our Moto G9 Play review.

Still, the 6,000mAh battery should easily last you a couple of days of heavy browsing and binge-watching new shows. Judging by the Play, the 20W charger will take its sweet time to fill that large battery back to 100%, but that’s hardly a worry if you do overnight charging.

The Moto G 5G could well be worth the extra €100 over the G9 Power as it brings improvements across the board. Starting with the Snapdragon 750G chipset, which is what enables the 5G connectivity. While there’s no shortage of €300 5G phones, not all of them are available in Europe and once you start ticking a few other boxes the competition thins out.

This phone has a 3.5mm headphone jack and a microSD card slot, as does the G9 Power. It uses the same 20W charging system for its 5,000 mAh battery (most 5G phones in this price segment have smaller batteries). Better yet, the 6.7” screen goes up to 1080p+ resolution and even has HDR10 support, making for a much better viewing experience.

The 48MP main camera has slightly larger pixels and a slightly brighter aperture, a fair trade-off for the resolution. Also, there’s an 8MP ultrawide camera, so the main module doesn’t stand alone.

The Moto G9 Power and Moto G 5G will be available in Europe soon, later expanding to Latin America, Asia and the Middle East. Once they arrive at a store near you, will you buy one?

Beginning Design Display Camera Equipment Battery Price Conclusion Comments from Stefan // 07. 11. 2020 15: 00 Clock

With the Galaxy Tab S7 +, Samsung has been breaking through the 11 – Customs limit and only packs high-end technology including OLED display and pen in the delivery box. In the test we show what the top tablet can do.

Apart from a few exceptions with some well over 10 inches most manufacturers of Android tablets are on 10, 1 inch agreed as the standard display size. Samsung breaks with this “normality” and gives its top tablet Galaxy Tab S7 + a whopping 12, 4 inches at high resolution and in OLED quality, the manufacturer also puts everything in the tablet that can be found on the high-end shelf in terms of technology. Owners of an iPad Pro will rub their eyes: The stylus called the S-Pen is included in the Galaxy Tab S7 + despite the tablet’s already lower price, so the best prerequisites for top marks in the test – right?

Design What a board! That’s the first thing that came to mind when unpacking the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 + and that’s why this thought made it into the headline. Because Samsung combines the huge display, which takes up almost the entire front thanks to its evenly narrow bezels, with just under 6 millimeters thin aluminum housing. Overall, the Galaxy Tab looks fragile and extremely high quality at the same time. Although the tablet can be twisted easily (no wonder given the slim design), the device still makes a fairly robust impression, provided that you handle it properly. The monolithic construction increases the fascinating impression even more. The manufacturer chooses a very angular design language, but the device is not sharp-edged. Only the size of 266 × 185 Millimeters and the resulting high weight of 575 grams makes long-term use in the hand difficult. In the long term, it is therefore advisable to use it lying on the table or in the optionally available keyboard cover.

When lying on flat surfaces, the camera unit protruding around a millimeter on the back hardly disturbs, due to the sheer surface of the tablet, the model is largely wobbly when operated. The entire back is made of aluminum. On the sides, antenna strips perfectly integrated into the metal can be seen as a design feature. A long black strip of glass extends from the camera, which serves as a docking and charging option for the stylus included in the scope of delivery. It is slightly flattened on one side and is held in place magnetically when it is correctly attached. A briefly shown on the display shows the charging status of the pen called S-Pen.

The holding force is strong enough that the stylus does not fall off by accidentally jostling or shaking the tablet. Nevertheless, this type of storage gives the impression of being intended for in between. An integration of the S-Pen as in the current Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra (test report) is because of the thin design of the tablet and the stylus in normal pen size and thickness but not otherwise possible. Despite the unibody of the Galaxy Tab S7 +, the tablet is not waterproof and dustproof.

Display In addition to the ultra-thin design, the huge display is the most impressive. That is next to the sheer size of 11, 4 inches especially on the Brilliance that the panel exudes. Colors are shown brightly, but without the candy look of earlier OLEDs and the contrasts with the abyssal black are inspiring. This is basically the same with good smartphone displays, on over 12 Zoll, it is even more impressive. In addition, Samsung gives the screen a refresh rate of 120 Hertz donated. In combination with the strong hardware, moving content is displayed absolutely fluently – great. In contrast to the manufacturer’s smartphones, it works there s not only with reduced Full HD resolution, but also the full 2800 × 1752 Pixels of the Tab-S7 + display. By the way, this brings up the screen 257 Pixels per inch – less than a smartphone, of course, but enough to be considered sharp because of the usually greater distance to the eye.

The viewing angle stability is particularly successful. Even from very flat viewing angles there are no noticeable color changes and the brightness remains almost the same. In the end, there are only two limitations: the reflective Gorilla Glass 3 surface of the panel and the brightness. Both prevent effective outdoor use. The brightness, which – at least in automatic mode – is otherwise more of a parade discipline of Samsung’s OLED screens, even represents a weak point: Even in bright ambient light, we were only able to 450 measure cd / m2. That is little for a top-quality product, especially since Samsung is already at the 1000 – Candela mark scratches. The manufacturer is thus banning the Galaxy Tab S7 + to the home office – terrace or park are largely denied. Too bad. One reason for this could be the power consumption, which in such a thin tablet (and correspondingly limited space for a powerful battery) with such a large screen quickly becomes a problem.

Camera Traditionally, the cameras on the back of a tablet are of little use and the front camera becomes the main camera. It’s not that bad with the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 +, but users shouldn’t expect too much. Compared to a good smartphone camera that Samsung uses in its top models such as Samsung Galaxy S 20 Ultra (test report) or Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra (test report) is missing the 13 – Megapixel main lens and the only 5 megapixel wide-angle lens for image sharpness and richness of detail. At first glance, this is hardly noticeable in the full screen view, especially since the image dynamics are decent and image noise is kept within limits. On closer inspection, however, fine structures always appear a bit washed out.

The camera is fine for a tablet The wide angle is almost surprisingly good – Despite its low resolution, it also ensures acceptable image quality, even if distortion and chromatic aberration are visible towards the edges. As the light decreases, the image quality of all lenses quickly drops to the point of being unusable – a typical tablet problem. The front camera takes pictures with 8 megapixels and is well suited for video chats with up to 4K / 30 possible are. Neither the less than optimal image sharpness nor the somewhat weaker contrasts compared to the main camera on the back are noticeable. The selfie camera does a satisfactory job and offers many software features.

Furnishing At In terms of hardware, Samsung builds all kinds of cutting-edge technology into the Galaxy Tab S7 +. This is how the tablet is operated by a Snapdragon 700 + powered, Qualcomm’s fastest chipset currently. It is combined with 8 GB LPDDR5 RAM – it is fast, but 8 GB are no longer state of the art. Some gaming smartphones such as the Lenovo Legion Phone Duel even come with 16 GByte therefore. A real difference to the 8 GB of the Galaxy Tab S7 + should only be noticed in exceptional cases, so the choice of RAM size is not a real point of criticism. Especially since content in interaction with the 90 – Hz display can be displayed absolutely smoothly and the tablet never gave the impression of reaching its performance limits at any point during the test.

The Tab S7 + is also really fun in games That confirms that Result of around 12. 500 Points in PCmark Work 2.0 – that is significantly less than with some smartphones with the same chipset, but still a very solid value. The good performance is also evident in games such as PUBG-Mobile, in which the tablet offers a smooth display even with the highest graphic settings. This is very impressive on the large display and offers strong immersion, but the tablet becomes a bit heavy in the long run. Various solutions, as we have summarized in our guide for perfect mobile gaming, provide a remedy. However, users are welcome to do without the Bluetooth speakers mentioned there. The four loudspeakers on both sides of the display deliver loud and clear sound that is even seasoned with sufficient depth – it just doesn’t get much better with such a thin housing. This also makes it easy to watch series that are really fun with the brilliant display. The stylus included in the scope of delivery is great, because its natural size makes it easy to hold. The latency when writing or drawing is kept within tight limits. Thanks to the large range of apps such as Autodesk Sketchbook, great works of art can be created – provided that the user has mastered it.

The stylus only works really safe on the go with the expensive keyboard cover While the stylus shouldn’t be lost so quickly when charging thanks to the strong magnetic hold, it still looks a bit out of place when attached to the back of the tablet. It is different with the optional keyboard cover. This not only has a good full keyboard including a complete row of numbers, F-keys, arrow keys and even a touchpad, but its cover for the back also encloses the stylus. Users can easily free it from its transport position by folding down a small part of the back. In addition, the steplessly angled lower half of the cover allows the display to be set up at any angle even above 90 degrees beyond. The cover is round 150 Euro not exactly cheap, but in combination with another monitor with features such as Dex (wireless or for less latency via USB 3.2) it is a real PC replacement for simple office applications.

We didn’t like the fingerprint sensor that much. It is hidden in the display and is well positioned due to its placement near the edge, but did not work as accurately in the test as its counterparts in Samsung smartphones and the unlocking speed should also be a bit higher. With the internal storage, however, there is nothing to complain about. The 256 GB of UFS 3.1 memory in the S7 + tab is quite fast and can be reached with 19. 900 Points in PCmark Storage a decent result. There is nothing to complain about with the rest of the hardware either. A look at the table shows what goes with it.

Samsung still relies on Android for the software 10 – especially with tablets, a comparatively slow update supply is unfortunately normal. Currently Android is included 11 not yet found. Tablets with Android 07 we have listed here (advice). The security patch for the Tab S7 + is from October and is sufficiently up-to-date at the time of the test in early November.

Battery pack 10. 0 90 mAh is provided by the battery in the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 +, which sounds like a really good value in such a thin tablet. 14 Samsung specifies hours of runtime for its top tablet – but without exactly to define how they are composed. However, this information cannot have come from a realistic scenario. This contradicts both our impression that we were able to make of the tablet during the test period and the PCmark battery test. With a fixed brightness of 185 cd / m2 the tablet came here only around 7.5 hours – compared to many other devices that is not much. The predecessor Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 (test report) at least managed over 11 Hours.

However, the new model offers 120 Hz, experience shows that in this scenario it eats up around 1 to 2 hours of running time – even then the Tab S7 + wouldn’t be a runtime wonder, however. This is where the extremely thin design of the top tablet has a negative impact. Samsung could have provided compensation elsewhere, but does not even try: when charging. This takes over 3 hours with the Galaxy Tab S7 +, which is also possible with a battery beyond the 10. 00 0 mAh more quickly. That doesn’t work wirelessly with the Tab S7 +.

Price The Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 + is available in black, silver and bronze. Different memory configurations are missing, users can only choose between the wifi-only variant for 954 Euro (RRP) and the 5G version for 1149 Select Euro (RRP). The recommended keyboard cover costs just under 150 euros in the RRP.

Main difference to the cheaper Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 (without the plus name suffix): 5G is not available for this, and an IPS LCD is used instead of the OLED .

Conclusion The Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 + is a top-of-the-line tablet that we see designed for use in our own four walls. Then neither the somewhat dark display nor the not quite as long-lasting battery matter. Instead, the chic device scores with a brilliant display, terrific performance and elegant design and looks good on any desk or sofa. The included stylus completes the overall package. Thanks to the corresponding app offer and the expensive but excellent keyboard covers, the tablet should even do a good job in home office use – if that’s not enough, you should take a look at our guide to homeschooling solutions (guide).

Overall, the Tab S7 + is a great piece of technology, but it also has its price – even if it is lower than the direct competitor iPad Pro. If you don’t want to spend that much, you should take a look at the predecessor Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 (test report), which is now much cheaper.
