If you were hoping the iPhone 14 Pro would take a page out of the Galaxy S22 Ultra’s book and opt for a less prominent camera array, some rumored new schemes for Apple’s next phone are going to be very disappointing.

iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max diagrams posted on Twitter by Max Weinbach show the camera arrays protruding from the back of each model. Worse still, the diagrams list the dimensions of the Pro models, and both phones are thicker than their iPhone 13 counterparts.

According to the schematics, the iPhone 14 Pro Max and iPhone 14 Pro should be 7.85mm thick. That’s 0.2mm thicker than Apple’s specs for the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max. That might not seem like a lot, but when you’re dealing with the best big phones, every extra millimeter counts in producing a phone that’s comfortable to hold and can slip easily into a pocket.

At least according to this leak, the camera array will not only continue to pop out of the back of Apple’s Pro phones, but it will also be larger. The iPhone 14 Pro Max is said to have a 38.21 x 36.73mm bump, while the iPhone 14 Pro sports a 38.24 x 36.71mm matrix. It would be a bit bigger than the iPhone 13 Pro model chart.

This is the second set of leaked schematics that quashes the rumor that Apple may be trying a lower lineup on the iPhone 14 Pro. Alleged iPhone 14 renders published on 91Mobiles last week also showed an array of cameras protruding from the back of the phone.

Otherwise, this new set of schematics promises little change in the dimensions of Apple’s Pro phones when the new models arrive in September. The iPhone 14 Pro Max has essentially the same dimensions as the current iPhone 13 Pro Max, according to the schematics. The iPhone 14 Pro might be slightly larger than the iPhone 13 Pro if these dimensions are correct.

iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max: assumed dimensions

The schematics provide another clue to the design of the iPhone 14 Pro. There is no notch included in the design – just pill-shaped and circular cutouts. Conventional thinking is that Apple uses this approach to house its front-facing camera and the sensors needed to unlock the Face ID phone.

There are no revelations about the other features of the Pro model, although other iPhone 14 rumors have us speculating that the Pro versions will have more substantial features than the standard model. In addition to the notch removal, the iPhone 14 could benefit from a more powerful main camera. Apple could also add USB-C connectivity to its Pro phones.

It will take some time to see if the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max conform to the appearances listed in the diagrams. But in the meantime, check out our iPhone 14 Pro rumors page to catch up on everything we’ve heard so far, and head over to our iPhone 14 vs iPhone 14 Pro comparison to see the biggest rumor differences.

Vivo has launched a new Y series smartphone. The company has launched Vivo Y76 (t1 version) in China. The device was launched as a new variant of the Y76s, which was spear at the end of last year in China. The t1 version has the same design as the Y76 but contains different hardware. The phone has a curved back and frame. It also packs a different processor under the hood.

The Y76s (t1 version) was launched in China in three color options. The phone was also launched with a unique storage configuration. Let’s take a look at the price, specs and other details of the Vivo Y76s (t1 version).

Vivo Y76s price and specifications (t1 version)

The Vivo Y76s (t1 version) was launched in China with 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of internal storage. Its price is 1899 CNY (about Rs 21,800). The device was launched in Star Diamond White, Galaxy White and Starry Night Black colors.

In terms of specifications, the phone has a 6.58 inch IPS LCD screen. The screen has a Full HD+ resolution of 2408 x 1080 pixels. The display supports a standard 60Hz refresh rate and 180Hz touch sampling rate. There’s a small teardrop notch at the top for the front camera.

Since the phone uses an LCD screen, the Y76s (t1 version) has a side-mounted fingerprint reader. It also supports AI face unlock. The plastic back houses a rectangular camera module. It sports a dual camera setup with a 50MP primary camera sensor and a 2MP secondary sensor. For selfies, the phone has an 8 MP front camera sensor.

Under the hood, the phone packs a MediaTek Dimensity 700 SoC. In comparison, last year’s Y76s came with a Dimensity 810 SoC. So the t1 version is definitely a downgrade in terms of performance. The phone, however, gets more RAM under the hood. The t1 version packs 12GB of RAM, up from 8GB in last year’s model. It also offers 256 GB of UFS 2.2 storage. Users can further expand storage using a microSD card.

The device packs a 4100mAh battery and supports 44W fast charging out of the box. It weighs around 175 grams and measures 163.84 x 75.00 x 7.79 mm. Finally, the phone runs Android 12 out of the box. It has a layer of Funtouch OS 12 on top.

Vivo has not confirmed any details about the launch of the t1 version in India. The device, if it makes it to India, might not be the best deal as there are phones from other brands that offer better value for money. What do you think of the y76s (t1 version)? Let us know in the comments below.

Sources speaking to GalaxyClub (opens in a new tab) have claimed that the Samsung Galaxy S23 will use the same 10x optical zoom telephoto lens as the Galaxy S22 Ultra, including an identical IMX754 sensor from Sony.

As with a previous rumor that the standard telephoto lenses on the Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S22 Plus wouldn’t change, this would be pretty typical Samsung behavior. It and many other phone makers tend to stick with the same sensors for multiple generations of phones before swapping them out. This allows them to get the most out of the sensors before moving to new hardware and starting the refinement process all over again.

Samsung has never struggled to land the phones on our best camera phone guide. It’s likely that the Galaxy S23 series will take some great shots and earn a spot on this list as well, despite using almost identical hardware to its predecessors. Additionally, there will likely be new enhancements and features in the photo software.

Users hoping for a more substantial upgrade to the Galaxy S23 Ultra’s cameras may also get their wish. Other rumors have claimed that it will get a 200MP main camera, a much higher resolution than any comparable flagship camera that should deliver incredible detail or brightness depending on how Samsung chooses to use it. . However, this was also rumored for the Galaxy S22 last year and never happened, so we’ll have to wait for more rumors in the future before fully believing it.

We’re still in the Galaxy S22 lifespan at the moment, as we shouldn’t see the Galaxy S23 arrive until January next year. If you can’t wait until then to replace your phone, take a look at our Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22 Plus and Galaxy S22 Ultra reviews to see which would suit you best, and also read about the new purple color Samsung just released. post for the Galaxy S22.

When it comes to choosing the best overall smartphone under Rs 20,000 in India in 2022, there are not many options. Yes, you read correctly. The world’s second-largest smartphone market doesn’t have many smartphones that offer a full package under Rs 20,000. Blame it on inflation, the pandemic, the “5G tax” or rising component costs, but companies have launched phones under Rs 20,000 with a few compromises here and there. Meanwhile, OnePlus aims to fill the void with its most affordable smartphone in India, the OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite 5G.

The new Nord smartphone is a slimmed down version of the Nord CE 2 5G, which was launched earlier this year. The Nord CE 2 Lite 5G comes with a 120Hz refresh rate display, a Snapdragon 695 SoC and a 64MP triple camera setup. It also has a 5000mAh battery with support for 33W fast charging. With all this hardware running on Oxygen OS 12, is the OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite 5G the best smartphone for you under Rs 20,000? Here’s our OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite 5G review to help you find out.

OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite 5G review

The OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite 5G aims to deliver the classic “OnePlus experience” coupled with the improved performance brought by the Snapdragon 695 SoC. So, let’s start our Nord CE 2 Lite 5G review with the overall performance and software experience.

Performance and software

As I mentioned above, the OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite 5G comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 SoC. We have seen the same chipset used in several new smartphones under Rs 20,000 in India. These include the Vivo T1 5G, iQOO Z6 5G and Moto G71 5G. The Redmi Note 11 Pro+ 5G, priced at Rs 20,999, also uses the same chipset.

The processor is more than capable of delivering a smooth experience when it comes to day-to-day tasks. Combined with the Oxygen OS 12 optimization, the Nord CE 2 Lite 5G showed me no signs of lag or stuttering. My use case mainly included scrolling through social media, watching videos on YouTube and Netflix, and playing Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI) on the Nord CE 2 Lite 5G.

It is by playing such games that you realize that the phone cannot be a tool to unlock the gamer’s paradise. BGMI runs at a maximum of around 40-45 fps with smooth graphics, while it’s capped at High (around 30 fps) with HD graphics. The same goes for Call of Duty: Mobile, where the maximum graphics setting is capped at “High”. This does not mean that the OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite 5G cannot be used to play games. Casual gamers will have a pretty good experience, but if you’re thinking of getting into competitive mobile gaming, maybe look elsewhere.

RAM management is solid on our OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite 5G review unit, which has 8GB of RAM. The phone comes with up to 5GB of virtual RAM, which is borrowed from the 128GB of internal storage. It’s unlikely that most users will need that extra software RAM.

Our OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite 5G, when reviewed, had the latest April security update. Based on Android 12, the new Oxygen OS update has similar stuff to Oppo’s Color OS 12, which I totally agree with. Along with signature Oxygen OS features like Zen Mode, the new update moves the OnePlus shelf, which is now accessible by swiping down from the top right corner of the screen. The update also includes the OnePlus Scout, which is more or less similar to Spotlight Search found on the iPhone. There is also a private vault that encrypts the data stored there and limits third-party access. On top of all that, the phone offers a clean software experience with almost no bloatware. There’s Netflix pre-installed but I wouldn’t call it bloat since I use the app almost every other day.

While these and a bunch of other Oxygen OS 12 features provide a great user experience, I still get delayed notifications for a few apps on OnePlus devices. Instagram and Gmail notifications were delayed on the Nord CE 2 Lite 5G compared to my MacBook or iPhone 13 Pro. There were times when I got all the notifications after opening the Instagram app.

OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite 5G will get two new Android upgrades and three years of security support. Hopefully the company finds a fix soon if the issue is with its software and not the affected third-party apps.

Battery life

Battery life is one of the most impressive things about the Nord CE 2 Lite 5G. The phone, with its 5000 mAh battery, can easily last more than a day. Even if you watch content on this phone for hours, it will still last a day. I can tell you after watching a few episodes of Friends and Mai on Netflix.

33W fast charging is supported, which is not as fast as the 67W fast charging of the Redmi Note 11 Pro+ 5G. It takes more than an hour to charge the big battery, at least in the NCR of Delhi where the mercury regularly exceeds 40 degrees Celsius.

Design and display

The Nord CE 2 Lite 5G is surely a looker in this Blue Tide hue. Despite its polycarbonate back, the phone offers a premium look with its gradient tint. On top of that, one-third of the rear panel of the device has a matte finish, while the upper part next to the camera module has a glossy foil with a yellowish undertone.

The curved edges of the back panel help the phone to grip firmly. It doesn’t feel as heavy at 195 grams. The power and volume buttons on either side of the device are easily accessible. Since the phone has an LCD screen, it comes with a side-mounted fingerprint scanner. The biometric scanner is extremely fast to detect and unlock the phone within milliseconds. Alternatively, you get the less secure AI face unlock. The OnePlus phone still has a 3.5mm headphone jack but comes with a single bottom-firing speaker.

At the front, there is a 6.59-inch Full HD+ screen. Since the device uses an LCD screen, you’ll notice the blacks aren’t quite as deep as rivals that offer an AMOLED panel. That’s not to say the LCD is bad as it’s crisp and bright enough to consume content both indoors and out.

The reason to opt for LCD over AMOLED is to support a 120Hz refresh rate while keeping costs in check. While 120Hz in this price range is excellent, it would be nice if OnePlus worked with developers to ensure they optimize apps for the CE 2 Lite 5G. Take, for example, BGMI, which is a popular eSports game. Although the phone supports 120Hz refresh rate, the game does not even support 60 frames per second. Come on, OnePlus, launch the game for your users here.

Camera

The Nord CE 2 Lite 5G has a triple camera setup on the back and one on the front. Only two of these four camera sensors could be useful. There’s a 64MP main camera on the back, along with two 2MP sensors for depth and macro. On the front, the Nord CE 2 Lite 5G has a 16 MP front camera.

The 64 MP main camera clicks 16 MP pixel shots. Daylight shots are quite vibrant and the dynamic range is quite decent for the price. The camera tends to amplify reds more, as you’ll see in the Nord CE 2 Lite 5G camera samples below. In low light, normal photo mode clicks on average images that include a lot of noise in the darker parts of the scene. Night mode attempts to solve this problem by increasing overall exposure while providing better shadow detail.

The front camera also does a decent job. Edge detection works well in portrait mode but increases exposure slightly more compared to normal photo mode. There’s no ultra-wide camera here, which I think is a bummer.

Verdict

The OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite 5G is the most affordable smartphone from OnePlus currently in India. At a starting price of Rs 19,999, the device becomes even more affordable for those who want to try the OnePlus Oxygen OS experience. Although design preferences are subjective, I liked the overall design of the phone in its Blue Tide color. The performance unit shouldn’t disappoint most people either, with the exception of gamers.

The Nord CE 2 Lite 5G can run a battery marathon and be among the best performers in the segment. Sure, the 33W fast charging isn’t the best in the segment, but it can charge the phone from zero to 50% in around 30 minutes, which is pretty decent.

I would have preferred the 90Hz AMOLED combo and two speakers for a better multimedia experience. Also, while the main camera does a decent job, it would have been nice if there was an ultra-wide sensor as well.

All told, the OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite 5G can be purchased by those who want a reliable Oxygen OS experience from a well-designed phone with great battery life. Others can look to the Redmi Note 11 Pro+ or the Moto G71 for a better media experience.

You cannot work for a site called Geek Reviews without gaining hands-on experience with a ton of smartphones. But every time a new budget phone crosses my path, I get more and more frustrated with a stupid trend. These affordable phones all have three, four or even five cameras, but they can’t take a half-decent photo.

Budget makers sacrifice camera quality just to say, “Look how many cameras are in our phone!” It’s a terrible situation that doesn’t benefit customers, and it could all be fixed by reducing these phones to just one good camera and focusing the money on quality.

Why do phones have so many cameras?

Twenty years ago, people started realizing that their flip phones could replace a compact camera. Sure, clamshell cameras didn’t capture the best images, but they were incredibly handy. And after a few years of technological advancements, cameras have suddenly become one of the main selling points of mobile phones.

It’s been over a decade since the launch of the first smartphone, and yet camera quality is at the center of almost every phone advertisement. I would argue that the quality of the phone’s camera is more important than ever, because there aren’t many ways to make modern phones stand out from each other.

This demand for high quality cameras has pushed manufacturers towards an interesting trend. Manufacturers are now putting multiple cameras into phones, each with a specific purpose. And frankly, that’s a great idea. Select phones now pack a standard, ultra-wide, telephoto, and macro lens to suit a variety of shooting styles and environments.

If you buy a high-end phone with multiple cameras, you can expect each lens to take high-quality photos. Having on-demand access to all this material is an incredible convenience, unless all the cameras suck, of course.

Most new budget phones come with three or four terrible and awful cameras. This is one of the most bizarre trends in this market, and it does nothing to benefit customers. But here’s the thing; manufacturers cannot join the multi-camera trend without sacrificing camera quality. It’s a very simple compromise.

Additional cameras increase manufacturing costs

In order to make great phone cameras, manufacturers have to spend a lot of money choosing cool parts, going through R&D, and employing talented people. In the world of $1,000 iPhones, this stuff pays for itself, but budget phone makers need to save money.

Saving money isn’t always a bad thing – it’s why we have cheap phones in the first place! But when a manufacturer decides to stick four cameras on a $200 phone, it can only make stupid compromises. Resources are scattered, resulting in things like poor quality camera hardware or an unfocused R&D process. In the end, we’re getting a bunch of crap cameras in an otherwise decent phone.

I must clarify that it is not just a material thing. Some cheap phones have huge camera sensors, which should capture amazing photos! But the software seems to be a bit more important. Without good software, photos look washed out and discolored. the OnePlus Nord N10 5G is a prime example; its massive 64-megapixel camera takes some of the blurriest photos I’ve ever seen.

Brands like Google and Apple are masters of software, which is why iPhones and Pixel phones use relatively small camera sensors. The iPhone 13, for example, has a 12 MP main camera. But it takes amazing photos because Apple spends a ton of money developing computational photography algorithms.

Obviously, smaller brands don’t have the money to beat Apple’s or Google’s camera software. But budget phones don’t need perfect cameras; they just need cameras that consistently take good pictures. It’s clear that these brands just aren’t spending the money on the right products. So what is the solution ?

A good camera is all we need

Instead of stretching a small budget to dump four cameras into a cheap phone, manufacturers should focus on developing just one good camera (plus a decent selfie camera, obviously). This will give businesses more money to invest in hardware, software, and optimization.

At first, the results of this regimen may not be too impressive. But a manufacturer on a budget can reuse the same cameras in multiple phones, stretching software development over several years. That’s what Google and Apple do with their cameras, and it seems to work pretty well!

I admit that using only one camera in a phone has its downsides. You can’t take an ultra-wide shot without an ultra-wide camera and all that. But I’d still rather have just one good camera, and realistically some people don’t even know how to use the extra cameras on their phones.

Additionally, some brands have successfully tested the single camera strategy. the Google Pixel 3a, which is one of the best budget phones ever, has only one rear camera. And while Apple’s iPhone SE is regularly thrown under the bus, people generally complain about its outdated design, not its lack of lenses.

Will things improve?

It is clear that budget manufacturers should focus on substance, not appearance. It’s what customers want and expect from their phones. But I doubt that situation will change anytime soon, as any attempt to fix the problem could hurt a manufacturer’s bottom line.

Phones aren’t free, and neither are phone plans. Still, a phone is basically necessary if you want to maintain an income, a home, and other necessities. Suffice it to say, people don’t want that money wasted, they want a decent phone!

Here’s the problem; Learning about phones takes time and the knowledge you acquire constantly becomes outdated. The average person just buys a nice phone when their old one doesn’t work anymore. It would be a waste of time to learn about this subject.

If you don’t know much about phones and need a new one right away, you’re going to take things literally. And that includes the cameras. From a business perspective, sticking a single camera in a phone is a dumb idea, because that phone will look like a rip-off sitting next to the $200 handset with a huge quad-camera bump on the back.

---

While it might not be the most profitable position, I really hope manufacturers abandon the multi-camera trend and focus on quality. But I am not optimistic.

If there is a silver lining, then the quality of the camera will slowly improve in the industry. Affordable phones of the future will take better photos than today’s iPhones. At least, I hope so!

Kudos to Samsung, but this could also be a bad omen for camera support in third-party apps

Third-party camera apps on Android are complicated. Google’s Camera2 API and CameraX Jetpack support library exist to streamline support for your phone‘s camera hardware in third-party apps, but both require OEM support, which isn’t not mandatory. You’d think Google’s own phones would support these standards and libraries, but it seems that’s not something you can expect from the company that develops and maintains the Android operating system. Instead, it looks like Samsung is beating Google at its own game.

As developer Zachary Wander pointed out on Twitter, the launch of a CameraX news app he created shows that not all CameraX extensions, like bokeh and HDR, are supported on all camera sensors on Google’s new Pixel 6a . We spoke to him and found that he continued testing this on an older Pixel 4a, and it’s an identical story.

Former AP Max Weinbach points out on Twitter that while Google doesn’t seem to support these camera standards, Samsung does a great job there. All features are presented as supported on Samsung’s cameras, which is in stark contrast to what can be seen on Google’s own phone or phones from other OEMs like the OnePlus 10 Pro.

We tried the app for ourselves and found that even our Pixel 6 Pro, Google’s crème de la crème, isn’t spared this nonsense – it’s still a sea of ​​unsupported extensions. . Meanwhile, our Galaxy S22 Ultra is in terrific shape, supporting all expansions on its four rear camera sensors.

In fact, as Mishaal Rahman points outGoogle’s own documentation shows that Nope Pixel phones correctly support CameraX extensions. That Google itself is apparently unwilling to do the necessary to ensure that its phones’ cameras are up to its own standards is not a great look, and that seems like a bad omen for third-party camera app support on Android as a whole. We have reached out to Google for comment and will update this post with any new information we receive.

The Vivo iQOO Z5, a much anticipated mid-range smartphone in 2021. Its affordable specifications and features make it popular with customers in the budget smartphone segment. The phone was released in India on September 28. Since its first release, phone enthusiasts, especially those looking for a cheap phone, have made it a hit. Let’s explore the features and capabilities of the Vivo iQOO Z5.

Vivo iQOO Z5: Specs Review, Key Features

Design

The Vivo iQOO Z5 debuts with a premium look while maintaining a similar appearance to the Samsung Note series.

The rear part and the frame of the iQOO Z5 are both made of plastic. The back doesn’t catch a lot of finger stains due to its flat finish. The dimensions of the phone are 164.7 x 76.7 x 8.5mm and it weighs only 193g. The phone feels a bit heavy. Nevertheless, it holds well in the hand and is easy to use. The phone offers three color options: Arctic Dawn, Mystic Space, and Aurora.

Rear cameras

On the camera side, the iQOO Z5 has chosen to give more than the basic configuration available in this price range. Users will receive a 64 MP wide lens, an 8 MP ultra wide lens, and a 2 MP macro lens on the triple camera panel. However, a 2MP depth sensor would be more valuable. Macro mode, time lapse, portrait mode and slow motion are some of the basic features of the phone. A maximum video recording rate of 1080p at 30 fps will be possible with the main camera.

Daytime shots are excellent, with lifelike color projection and a well-balanced tone. There is an option that allows users to increase the saturation level of the image. Those who love bright colors would love it.

The 64MP specialized mode produces high quality images with lots of noise.

The camera may produce noisy images with smeared characteristics in the absence of sufficient light. Activating night mode increases the exposure level of the lenses to some extent. A strong impression and fractured details appear when shooting in night mode.

Front camera

A 16MP lens in a mid-range phone is not unjustifiable. In excellent lighting, the selfie camera takes fantastic self-portraits. Selfie enthusiasts will be delighted with the iQOO Z5. The images are detailed and well presented. The performance in portrait mode is also excellent. With this front camera, users can record 1080p video at 30 frames per second.

Performance, software and user interface

The performance of iQOO Z5 is based on Qualcomm SM7325 Snapdragon 778G 5G processor. This phone has no issues with tactile responsiveness or latency, as the previous non-Pro model showed.

The phone used OriginOS based on Android 11 produced by Vivo and has almost the same skills as the standard Android skin except for additional features.

Battery and charge

The Vivo iQOO Z5 comes with a 5,000mAh battery that lasts a long time. Users can enjoy all-day battery support with moderate use with even about half the battery capacity. Even a full day of intensive gaming won’t drain the battery. Once the phone is fully charged, it will be ready to use for two days. The phone offers 44W charging.

Verdict
