Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra Base Variant Costs 9 to Manufacture: Counterpoint

[ad_1]

Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, the high-end Android handset powered by a customised version of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC was launched in February this year. The flagship smartphone’s price starts at $1199 (roughly Rs. 98,300) for the base 8GB RAM + 256GB storage variant. Now, a bill of materials (BoM) analysis of Galaxy S23 Ultra by research firm Counterpoint shows how much of that price tag accounts for the internals. The BoM for Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra’s base variant is reportedly less than 40 percent of the retail value of the handset.

A latest bill of materials (BoM) analysis by Counterpoint’s component research service suggests that Samsung is generating a fair profit from its premium phone. Producing the 8GB RAM + 256GB storage version of Galaxy S23 Ultra costs the South Korean smartphone company $469. As per the report, the processor and cellular components accounted for 34 percent of the model’s BoM cost. The premium handset is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform for Galaxy.

Besides the customised SoC, Qualcomm has designed the fingerprint sensor IC, key power management ICs, audio codec, RF power amplifiers, Wi-Fi + Bluetooth, GPS and Sub-6GHz transceiver in the Galaxy S23 Ultra. With this Qualcomm’s share in the handset has increased to an ‘all-time high’, noted Counterpoint.

Display (18 percent) and the “others” category (15 percent) also accounted for the biggest chunk of BoM. The camera contributed 14 percent of the total BoM cost of the Galaxy S23 Ultra, followed by Memory (11 percent) and Casing (8 percent).

The second-largest beneficiary of Galaxy S23 Ultra is Samsung. Samsung’s other business units supply the 256GB NAND flash and the 6.8-inch AMOLED display for the device. In the camera subsystem, Samsung (SEMCO) and Sony make the major share of the BoM. Samsung provides the 200-megapixel wide-angle camera (S5KHP2) and 12-megapixel selfie camera (S5K3LU), while Sony supplies the 12-megapixel ultrawide (IMX564) senior, 10-megapixel telephoto and periscope telephoto (IMX754) sensors.

Further, Silicon Mitus and Maxim are the providers of power management ICs. STM designs the laser autofocus module, accelerometer, gyroscope, barometer, and touch panel controller. The battery is packaged by Samsung and the cell is provided by ATL. The quick charging IC is sourced from NXP while the 15W wireless charging IC is from Convenient Power.

Samsung Galaxy A34 5G was recently launched by the company in India alongside the more expensive Galaxy A54 5G smartphone. How does this phone fare against the Nothing Phone 1 and the iQoo Neo 7?

OnePlus Pad Review: Best Mid-Range Android Tablet?

OnePlus Pad Review: Best Mid-Range Android Tablet?

[ad_1]

OnePlus has long been known mainly for its smartphones in India. However, over the past three years or so, it has also introduced smart TVs, monitors, personal audio products, and smartwatches. The company also designs and sells its own smartphone accessories along with backpacks and other travel gear. At a recent event, the brand even announced its own mechanical keyboard which has yet to go on sale in India.

Bragging rights aside, OnePlus is also known for its unique designs and well-optimised software. So, what happens when OnePlus makes a tablet? Let’s find out.

OnePlus Pad price in India

The OnePlus Pad is available in a single finish called Halo Green. Thankfully, there are some options when it comes to the configuration. There’s the base model with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, priced at Rs. 37,999. The second variant with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage is available at Rs. 39,999. In my opinion, it makes sense to go for the top-end model.

OnePlus Pad design and accessories

OnePlus’ smartphones have generally maintained a rounded design language, with the exception of perhaps the OnePlus 10R 5G. With the OnePlus Pad, the company has stuck with this same design philosophy and this helps it stand out when compared to any other tablet currently available in India.

Its metal unibody design looks and feels very premium. The Pad is incredibly thin at just 6.5mm and will make any recent Apple iPad appear chunky in comparison. Despite its slim design, the tablet is quite sturdy with absolutely no flex or creaking sounds upon applying pressure.

The OnePlus Pad offers a premium metal unibody design

 

Even after using aluminium for its construction, the OnePlus Pad still feels quite heavy at 552g when performing regular tasks, or when simply holding it with one hand for browsing. I often ended up sitting on the couch or laying it on a table when using it, especially with the keyboard accessory which is sold separately. The finely etched texture on the back side gives it a very unique look, but it also makes it a smudge magnet and these marks are very difficult to wipe off. Thankfully, there are two optional cover accessories, to keep that messy rear surface covered at all times.

The sides of the OnePlus Pad are also rounded which makes it comfortable to hold, unlike most other tablets which have flat sides and flat corners that can poke into your hands. While the bottom, left and right sides are rounded, the middle area at the top is flat because that’s where the magnetic connector for the OnePlus Stylo accessory resides. The three flat pins to power and use the keyboard accessory are at the bottom.

The rear of the OnePlus Pad turns into a smudgy mess which is hard to wipe clean

 

While the edges of the tablet have been given a rounded treatment, the display glass is flat and is  seamlessly integrated with the frame, making swipe gestures near the edges of the display a good experience. The display glass also gathers smudges, but these can be wiped off easily.

The OnePlus Magnetic Keyboard accessory is available at Rs. 7,999 in India. The quality is top-notch and it feels quite premium with a grippy faux-leather texture on the front and rear panels. The keyboard connects and is powered via its three pins so it needs to be physically connected to the tablet in order to function and cannot be used wirelessly as a Bluetooth keyboard.

The keys on the Magnetic Keyboard have good travel for its type and also produce a nice tactile feedback, which makes for confident and mostly error-free typing. However, they are a bit stiff so my hands did end up feeling fatigued after a few hours of typing. The keyboard layout is also quite compact, but I surprisingly got used to it almost instantly.

The keyboard has a function key, which when combined with the number keys, can be used to trigger special functions such as navigation for the back, home and recents functions or for adjusting the volume. There’s also a command key which can trigger numerous pre-defined keyboard shortcuts like locking the screen, when combined with other keys.

The OnePlus Magnetic Keyboard lacks backlighting but offers a confident typing experience for light work

 

OnePlus has surely worked its magic when it comes to the keyboard experience. What I really like about it is that it has a minimal learning curve and most of the functions are easily identifiable as they are similar to the way Windows or macOS works. The trackpad was spot on, both in terms of sensitivity and function. Gestures worked beautifully once I turned off “tap to click” mode in the settings. The trackpad can be pressed down with little pressure but it’s just one large button, so it does not have a right or left click. I mainly ended up using it for selecting items or entering text fields. Selecting text has to be done using the shift and arrow keys, which is why this combination is better suited for light work.

However, I wish there was at least a 1cm gap between the top row of numbers keys and the tablet when mounted, as I did end up tapping the display accidentally when hitting the number keys.

The OnePlus Stylo stylus, which is priced at Rs. 4,999 in India, works as expected and charges quickly when placed on the magnetic area at the top edge of the tablet. However, it’s not easy to find the perfect contact patch on the stylus itself when docking it, so there were times when it did not snap on perfectly and came off easily even with a slight tap.

OnePlus Pad specifications and software

The OnePlus Pad has a MediaTek Dimensity 9000 SoC, which is usually seen on premium smartphones. My review unit came with 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage. The tablet does not have a SIM card slot, so there’s no mobile data functionality or expandable storage either.

Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.3 and support for the usual satellite navigation systems. The tablet lacks cellular connectivity, but OnePlus makes hotspot data sharing easier with its Cellular Data Sharing feature which auto-connects the tablet to a OnePlus smartphone. For this to work, the tablet has to be between one to five metres away from a OnePlus smartphone. The tablet is powered by a 9,510mAh battery and OnePlus includes a 100W charger in the box. However, the charging rate is capped at 67W for the tablet.

The OnePlus Stylo works as expected and sticks firmly to the top-edge of the tablet

 

OnePlus has cut a few corners by ditching the 3.5mm headphone jack and not including a secure biometric mode for unlocking the tablet like a fingerprint sensor. The tablet can be unlocked using the standard PIN or by using face unlock via the front camera which isn’t the most secure but works reliably under good lighting.

Despite lacking cellular connectivity, I was able to place voice and video calls via WhatsApp from the OnePlus Pad and everything worked as expected, with the person on the other end being able to hear me clearly using the tablet’s built-in mic. The selfie camera comes with OnePlus’ Limelight camera feature and it worked quite well during video calls and was able to keep my face centred, provided I did not move to the extreme edges of the camera’s frame.

The OnePlus Pad runs OxygenOS 13.1 which is based on Android 13, along with a few tablet-friendly customisations. These customisations come in the form of a dock at the bottom, which shows pinned apps and recently used apps much like one can find on an Apple iPad with iPadOS. A swipe up from the bottom reveals the app drawer.

OnePlus has added a few software features which make OxygenOS more useful on a bigger display. You can open one app in a resizable floating window and even two apps side by side by using the split window feature. This allows a total of three apps to be displayed at once. However, not all apps scale well when they resize to fit a floating window and this also includes some of Google’s own apps like Drive, Docs, Sheets and more. Indeed, this seems to be a bug and hopefully will be resolved in a future update.

OnePlus Pad performance

The OnePlus Pad has a 11.61-inch LCD display with a resolution of 2800 x 2000 pixels. The display is quite bright at around 500 nits, which is good enough to be viewed outdoors and under direct sunlight. Viewing angles are also quite good, but showcase slightly saturated colours at the default Vivid colour profile. Blacks are quite good, even though they cannot match up to an AMOLED panel. The tablet’s display is Dolby Vision-certified and content appears as expected on Netflix and YouTube. Accompanying that display is the quad-speaker setup which gets loud and sounds immersive thanks to Dolby Atmos support.

What sets this display apart from the rest of the competition is its aspect ratio. OnePlus has gone for a rather odd 7:5 aspect ratio with the Pad’s display. While I agree that it manages to deliver a bit more vertical screen space for browsing web pages or excel sheets, I did find the layout a bit squished when viewing two apps side by side or in split view. This is more so, because the display’s scaling has only two options, Standard and Small, with no setting higher than small, which would let me view even more content in the same screen space.

oneplus pad review front display ndtv OnePlusPad OnePlus

The OnePlus Pad offers a vibrant but slightly saturated 7:5 aspect ratio display

 

The LCD panel on the OnePlus Pad offers a 144Hz refresh variable refresh rate and can switch between 30Hz, 60Hz, 90Hz, 120Hz and 144Hz when needed. During the review period I did notice that the 144Hz refresh rate is only available in certain apps such as Chrome, which have been “whitelisted” by OnePlus. Even when using the interface or browsing the homescreen, the display automatically switches between 60Hz (when idle) and 120Hz (when in use) most of the time.

Most games including some casual titles (that actually support high refresh rate displays) were capped at 60Hz, with only some such as Call of Duty: Mobile which allowed to utilise 90Hz refresh rate when using the ‘Ultra’ framerate setting. I didn’t notice the screen drop to 30Hz in my testing and neither is it fully utilising its 144Hz capability most of the time.

The SoC in the OnePlus Pad performs as expected managing 8,29,370 points in AnTuTu (v10). In terms of graphics, the tablet managed 32fps, 55fps and 60fps in GFXBench’s Car Chase, Manhattan 3.1 and T-Rex test suites respectively.

Overall gaming performance is quite good. The tablet did get warm when playing Call of Duty Mobile at ‘Very High’ graphics and framerate settings, but did not get hot even after gaming for 30 minutes at a stretch. Asphalt 9 Legends appeared almost console-like in terms of graphics with buttery smooth frame rates as the device also supported the 60fps mode. What I did find a bit insufficient was the 120Hz/144Hz touch sampling rate when playing Call of Duty Mobile as it just wasn’t quick enough despite tweaking its sensitivity using its built-in gaming tools.

oneplus pad review front software ndtv OnePlusPad OnePlus

The OnePlus Pad can display three apps at a time, but is better used for light productivity work

 

Apart from the severe lack of tablet-optimised apps on the Google Play store, the OnePlus Pad manages to do a really good job at handling apps that are mainly stretched-out versions of smartphones apps. Sadly, there are some official apps from Instagram and Reddit which still refuse to run or support a horizontal layout, despite being available for tablets.

As for software performance, the 12GB of RAM is more than sufficient to handle the multitasking capabilities and widgets, along with keeping app pairs and floating windows in RAM for a long time. In terms of bloatware, OnePlus has kept it under control by including only the Netflix and WPS Office apps, both of which are useful but can also be uninstalled.

OnePlus Pad cameras

Image quality from the OnePlus Pad’s 13-megapixel rear camera is decent at best. While colours appear mostly natural, resolved detail is quite low, even with objects closer to the camera. The 8-megapixel front-facing camera is not the best when shooting selfies as the details are on the lower side and the images often have a dream-like, HDR effect.

Still image quality in low light using auto mode was below average and passable when using Night mode because they showcased a noticeable watercolour-like effect with flat textures.

OnePlus Pad camera samples. Top to bottom: Close-up (primary), Portrait selfie, Night mode (primary) (Tap to see full size)

 

The rear camera is capable of recording video at 4K 30fps and it appeared sharp with good dynamic range and details, but was quite shaky. 1080p 30fps video utilises electronic stabilisation for reducing hand shakes but appears a bit soft with less detail. Low-light video quality isn’t good with plenty of noise and softer textures.

OnePlus Pad battery life

The OnePlus Pad’s battery life is quite good and lasts over two days with regular casual use. My usage mainly included playing casual games and streaming video, scrolling through social media apps and two email accounts in sync. It seems quite good for a regular-sized tablet which is this slim. Our HD video loop test also managed a good 18 hours and 10 minutes of runtime, which is impressive for a slim tablet.

oneplus pad review back case ndtv OnePlusPad OnePlus

The optional OnePlus Magnetic Keyboard accessory has a very premium look and feel

 

I also used the tablet in proper work mode doing everything I would normally do on my laptop. With the display set to 50 percent brightness and a timeout of five minutes, it surprisingly managed to last two whole work days (about nine hours each), which was pretty impressive.

Charging the OnePlus Pad was also quite fast despite the capped charging speeds. The tablet managed to charge to 47 percent in 30 minutes, 85 percent in an hour and completed the charge in an hour and 29 minutes.

Verdict

Until Google’s Pixel Tablet arrives in India (if it ever does), the OnePlus Pad might be the best Android tablet experience you can currently get. This is especially true when you consider its high-refresh rate display, fast charging capability and quality accessories, which are offered at reasonable prices. At a starting price of Rs. 37,999, I did find it to be bit expensive when it was announced but after using it, I think there’s plenty of raw performance available that should be good enough for light work or casual use,  and it all comes in a package that’s easily lighter than most laptops at this price point.

OnePlus has also done its magic with software, balancing sustained performance with features such as split-screen mode and floating windows, all of which work as expected thanks to the capable hardware which powers this device.

In short, there’s very little to nit-pick and complain about, unless you crave an AMOLED panel for which you can take a look at Lenovo’s P11 Pro Gen 2 which is similar to the P11 Pro we reviewed earlier. It’s priced at Rs. 44,999, but does not offer the same software experience as the OnePlus Pad.

On the Apple side of things, there’s the new Apple iPad (2022) (Review) which starts from Rs. 44,900 for the Wi-Fi-only model, but you will be stuck with an standard refresh rate display and just 64GB of storage as only other variant costs Rs. 59,900 (for 256GB). Those looking for cellular connectivity or a robust app ecosystem with tablet-friendly apps will also find the Apple iPad an attractive option. However, accessories for it aren’t cheap, especially if you are going to use it for work.

OnePlus recently launched its first tablet in India, the OnePlus Pad, which is only sold in a Halo Green colour option. With this tablet, OnePlus has stepped into a new territory that’s dominated by Apple’s iPad. We discuss this and more on Orbital, the Gadgets 360 podcast.

Nothing Phone 2 Display Size Revealed, Claimed to Be More Sustainable: All Details

[ad_1]

Nothing Phone 2 is confirmed to launch globally in July. It will launch as the successor to the Nothing Phone 1 that was released in July 2022. Nothing CEO and former OnePlus Co-Founder Car Pei had previously confirmed a few key specifications of the handset. The upcoming smartphone will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC and will be backed by a 4,700mAh battery. The design of the Phone 2 is speculated to be similar to that of the first one. Now, the company has also revealed the display size of the phone, and a few other details.

In a Twitter thread, Nothing shared that the display of the Nothing Phone 2 will be 0.15-inch bigger than that of Nothing Phone 1. The first generation smartphone from the company sports a 6.55-inch full-HD+ (2400 x 1080 pixels) display. Therefore, the Phone 2 will feature a 6.7-inch screen.

Previously, alongside confirming the phone’s July launch, Pei said that the Nothing Phone 2 will come with a 4,700mAh battery, which is 200mAh bigger than that of the 4,500mAh battery of the Phone 1. Today, the company said that these changes will “boost overall performance” of the upcoming handset, all while maintaining a carbon footprint of 53.45 kilograms, over 5 kilograms lower than the Phone 1.

Earlier this month Pei confirmed that the Nothing Phone 2 will be powered by an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC, a considerable upgrade from Phone 1’s Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G+. Initial tests of the phone claimed that the Nothing Phone 2 is twice as fast compared to Phone 1. It is said to be about 80 percent more productive than its predecessor. The company also announced today that it will offer 3 years of Android updates and 4 years of security updates for the Nothing Phone 2.

Sold in a plastic-free packaging, the Nothing Phone 2 is claimed to have three times more recycled or bio-based parts as opposed to the Phone 1. The upcoming model uses 100 percent recycled tin on 9 circuit boards, 100 percent recycled copper foil on the main circuit board, over 90 percent recycled steel on all 28 steel stamping parts, and 80 percent of plastic parts are sustainably sourced, the company stated in a series of tweets.

Alongside claiming that the Nothing Phone 2 uses 100 percent recycled aluminium made with 100 percent renewable energy for the handset’s mid-frame, Nothing claims that the final assembly plants of the smartphone are also powered by 100 percent renewable energy.

OnePlus recently launched its first tablet in India, the OnePlus Pad, which is only sold in a Halo Green colour option.

Xiaomi 14 Pro Tipped to Come in Two Variants With Flat and Curved Panels: All Details

[ad_1]

Xiaomi is expected to unleash an upgrade over its current Xiaomi 13 Pro by the end of this year. The Chinese smartphone brand is yet to confirm any details regarding the Xiaomi 14 Pro, but ahead of it, a well-known tipster has shared some specifications of the handset on the Web. Xiaomi is tipped to unveil the Xiaomi 14 Pro in two variants with two different display specifications. The upcoming handset could offer 120W and 90W fast charging support as well. Xiaomi 14 Pro is expected to run on Qualcomm’s next-generation flagship SoC.

Tipster Digital Chat Station (translated from Chinese) posted on Weibo that the Xiaomi 14 Pro will be launched in two variants with different display specifications and fast charging options. According to him, one of the two variants will sport a 3D curved panel and slim bezels on all four sides while the other model is said to get a 2.5D flat screen. They are likely to be paired with either 120W fast charging or 90W fast charging technology. The Xiaomi 14 Pro is said to have a thickness of 1mm.

Past leaks hinted at the presence of Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC on the Xiaomi 14 Pro. It is tipped to be backed by a 5,000mAh battery with support for 50W wireless charging support. It could also feature WLG High-Lens cameras as well.

The anticipated Xiaomi 14 Pro is likely to succeed the Xiaomi 13 Pro, which was launched earlier this year with a price tag of Rs. 79,999 for the sole 12GB RAM + 256GB storage configuration.

Xiaomi’s 13 Pro has a 6.73-inch 2K OLED display with a refresh rate of up to 120Hz and a touch sampling rate of 240Hz. It is powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC. A triple rear camera setup led by a 50-megapixel 1-inch Sony IMX989 primary camera, and a 4,820mAh battery are the other specifications of the handset. It supports 120W wired charging and 50W wireless charging.

Xiaomi launched its camera focussed flagship Xiaomi 13 Ultra smartphone, while Apple opened it’s first stores in India this week.

Big tech is going big on generative AI. Almost every tech product is set to add generative AI features in some form or the other. Amazon Alexa, the popular virtual assistant, is also getting its dose of conversational AI tools that can help accelerate the company’s vision to create a great AI-powered personal assistant. “It’s now a question of just how do we implement it,” said Dave Limp, senior VP of devices and services, in a recent media briefing at the company’s headquarters in Seattle, US.

The goal is to enable Alexa to have more natural conversations with users. Generative AI can help achieve that goal even faster. During the briefing, Limp also explained why Amazon cannot simply take ChatGPT and throw it into Alexa. He explained that such large language models tend to “hallucinate” from time to time. For a virtual assistant like Alexa, that could spell trouble. Customers rely on Alexa’s capabilities to offer accurate information — be it prices, weather, or simply turning on your smart home equipment. Limp also confirmed that a lot of generative AI models in the background are already in production.

Limp revealed how consumers are now using Alexa more than ever. He said that year on year, Alexa engagement is up over 30 percent. “It has become their new normal, and it has become a new habit,” he said. Consumers are listening to music and podcasts, shopping, building lists, setting up alarms, etc. Amazon is also working on a bunch of new Alexa-powered products that are “basically in the oven and baking, and ready to come put.”

We spoke to Michele Butti, Head of Alexa International, to understand how Alexa is doing in India, when Alexa will get ChatGPT-like features, and what the company is planning for its Indian audience in the near future.

Note: Some responses have been condensed and slightly edited for clarity.

Gadgets 360: Can you talk about Alexa’s engagement in countries like India?

Michele Butti: Definitely, I’m thinking about where to start, there’s so much to say about India. I’ll probably start from Echo devices, because it’s a bit more similar to what we have learned everywhere else. We started in a similar way where we built a natural authentic experience that we built in English. That was a bit limited, and then we added Hindi, and then we made the multilingual mode available. But even that doesn’t fully reflect the complexity of how customers interact with Alexa in general.

In India, the interaction is in multiple languages, so much deeper and complex that the switch (language) happens in the same phrase, or sentence. We need to go beyond the idea of speaking once in Hindi and once in English, we also need to recognise that many customers are also interacting in a lot more languages. Today, Alexa recognises basic commands in multiple languages, in part because it learned from customers.

Since the beginning, we tried to create content that was engaging, such as deep knowledge of cricket and Bollywood. There are slightly unique expectations in behaviour in countries like India. We made services like music available in India right out of the box, unlike other countries where you have to have a different service provider. A big amount of music consumption is the newly released titles, driven primarily by Bollywood music. This involves updating the catalogue more frequently to be ready to play something that has just been released.

We also experimented with adding Alexa to the Amazon app, adding the convenience of voice interaction and Alexa intelligence to the Amazon app. Customers were able to ask for recommendations, add products to the cart, and other features. We are encouraged by the fact that some of the fastest-growing interactions involve shopping, even though people continue to use other use cases such as creating lists, setting alarms, etc.

One of the unique features we developed for India was Pay with Alexa. The payment industry in India is way more dynamic and exciting in India than anywhere else. Amazon Pay is a very interesting initiative, and adding the convenience of voice makes it easier than the touch experience.

Gadgets 360: What are some of the biggest challenges you face when developing for markets like India?

Michele Butti: India is a bit unique; people speak a number of different languages. The first barrier was indeed understanding and that’s why we have made changes to our model to understand some of the commands in multiple languages. You can ask to play music in around 10-12 languages in India. The other challenge is the availability of broadband Internet, this is still not unique to India though. It will require broader industry development.

Gadgets 360: Do you plan to expand support for more regional languages in India?

Michele Butti: Probably the first way to answer your question is that we always listen to customers, you know when they’re passionate about something. We have clearly learned that even customers who are perfectly fluent in English, might have more engagement when English isn’t their preferred language. To add support to a language, it doesn’t just involve plain translation. It is the culture, the appreciation of preferences, history, and what is appropriate and what is not, that’s something that can change with region and language. This is where LLMs (large language models) can be an accelerator to help reduce the effort.

Gadgets 360: That means Alexa is getting generative AI support?

Michele Butti: Yes, we are already working on it. It is already training more languages than what we have made available so far.

Gadgets 360: At what point can Alexa become so smart that it can literally train itself?

Michele Butti: I think there are probably multiple components to this question. It starts from data labeling and transcription; we have already been able to dramatically reduce the amount of transcription needed to train the models. There is already supervised learning applied. LLM applications will likely help to further speed things up. AI will allow Alexa to react to more complex questions that were previously trained. There are use cases where LLMs (large language models) can make things easier, such as asking Alexa to record a basketball game (it will involve multiple steps and decision-making).

Gadgets 360: What’s the next big thing for Alexa?

Michele Butti: I don’t think there’s a single silver bullet. I’m personally very excited about making Alexa available in multiple smart properties. We mentioned hospitality, but it could be healthcare facilities or senior citizen facilities. We have launched some of those, that’s one other area where we’re making Alexa available. We have also launched Alexa in real estate, and smart properties. That way real estate developers can integrate Alexa in smart homes right from the beginning. Alexa is a big simplifier for companies that manage such large properties.

Poco F5 5G Review: The Mid-Range Gaming Phone to Beat

Poco F5 5G Review: The Mid-Range Gaming Phone to Beat

[ad_1]

Poco burst onto the scene with the F1 back in 2018 and since then, the company has had very selective launches through the years while also diversifying its portfolio across budget segments. The F series remains synonymous with offering a powerful processor at a relatively low price, and its the same formula applied to the latest Poco F5 5G. This is currently the only phone sold in India with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 SoC, which shares a lot of its DNA with the flagship Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1. The F5 also checks many other important boxes as it comes with an optically stabilised primary camera, very fast charging, and even an IP rating.

Should the new Poco F5 5G be on the top of your list if you have a budget of around Rs. 30,000? We find out in this review.

Poco F5 5G price in India

The Poco F5 5G comes in two RAM variants, 8GB and 12GB, and both feature 256GB of storage. Prices are Rs. 29,999 and Rs. 33,999 for the respective variants. The pricing is not bad in my opinion, considering the collective set of features on offer. You also get a full kit of accessories in the box, including a 67W power adapter and a case.

Poco F5 5G design

If you’re an avid follower of global smartphone launches then the Poco F5 5G might seem familiar, and that’s because it bears a striking resemblance to the Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 Turbo from China. Everything from the specs, design to even the colours appear to be the same as the F5 5G. It doesn’t seem like Xiaomi has any plans to launch its phone in India, so there shouldn’t be any sibling rivalry.

The black colour of the Poco F5 5G does not look very premium as the plastic back panel attracts fingerprints very easily. The other colours seem like they should be able to hide smudges better. However, the feel of the plastic rear panel is not great and makes the F5 feel like a phone from a much lower price segment. It’s a shame considering the Poco F4 5G (Review) had a much better up-market design thanks to its glass back panel.

The F5 5G is quite light and slim though, which I like. The fingerprint sensor is in the power button, which sits uncomfortably flush with the frame. On the bottom, you’ll find the SIM tray for two SIM cards but no microSD storage expansion slot, and the top of the frame has a headphone socket and an IR blaster. The F5 5G is IP53 rated for basic dust and water protection.

The Poco F5 5G has a bright and vivid OLED display

 

The display on the Poco F5 5G is nice and vibrant. What’s immediately noticeable are the evenly slim bezels on all four sides of the display. The screen itself is a 12-bit pOLED panel with a full-HD+ resolution, 120Hz adaptive refresh rate, and supports Dolby Vision and HDR10+ video playback. Poco claims it has a 1,000 nits peak brightness. The phone comes with a screen guard pre-applied but the display does have Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection.

Poco F5 5G specifications and software

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 is a power-efficient SoC built on the 4nm process. It uses the same CPU clusters as the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC in the 1+3+4 configuration, only with slightly lower frequencies. There are some other differences as well such as a less powerful GPU, lower memory bandwidth, etc. The Poco F5 5G supports a total of 12 5G bands in India, along with Bluetooth 5.3 and dual-band Wi-Fi ac. Poco says it has used a vapour chamber cooling system consisting of 14 graphite sheets to better manage heat.

The Poco F5 5G runs MIUI 14 (14.0.3) which is based on Android 13. Poco has promised to deliver two years of Android updates and three years of security updates for the F5 5G. As usual, there are a tonne of preinstalled apps and shortcuts on the homescreen by default. Some of the native apps which cannot be uninstalled are also notorious for cluttering the notification shade with ads and unwanted alerts. Thankfully, some of the apps such as Music and Themes allow you to disable ads and recommendations, but this doesn’t stop the alerts completely.

Some of the useful bundled apps include Game Turbo which has a slick interface and allows you to tweak the system performance for games.

Poco F5 5G performance and battery life

This new SoC in the Poco F5 5G has some ridiculous amount of raw power. While we usually don’t put too much stock into benchmark numbers, they can be a good indicator of the kind of real-world performance one can expect. In AnTuTu (v10), the Poco F5 5G managed 10,94,798 points and a score of 13,498 in PCMark (Work 2.0). These are impressive numbers and not too far behind Qualcomm’s current flagship, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.

The 12GB variant of the Poco F5 5G that I’ve been testing hasn’t skipped a beat yet in the past few weeks. System performance has been snappy, multi-tasking works like a charm, and apps are quick to load. Heat management has also been quite satisfactory so far as even when gaming, the phone only gets warm.

Titles such as Asphalt 9: Legends and Genshin Impact, both ran very well with solid framerates. Fast-paced shooters such as Call of Duty: Mobile ran very well on the ‘High’ graphics and ‘Max’ framerate setting. With the latter game, the display continued to run at 120Hz which made gameplay feel a lot more fluid, unlike most other games where it dropped to 60Hz.

poco f5 5g review charger gadgets360 ww

The Poco F5 5G charges relatively quickly thanks to the bundled power adapter

 

HDR video playback looks good in apps such as Netflix which has many Dolby Vision TV shows and movies. The display produces punchy colours and has very good brightness levels for outdoor use during the day. The side-mounted fingerprint sensor works well and even face recognition is surprisingly quick in low light.

Battery life has been pretty great so far. The Poco F5 5G lasted for a good 17 hours, 34 minutes in our HD video loop test, which is above average. The real-world backup time was also pretty good, with the phone easily lasting more than a full day on average, even with heavy use. Charging is speedy with the bundled adapter as the F5 5G can charge up to 46 percent in 30 minutes and up to 93 percent in an hour.

Poco F5 5G cameras

The Poco F5 5G has three rear cameras; a 64-megapixel primary with optical stabilisation (OIS), 8-megapixel ultra-wide, and a 2-megapixel macro. The phone has a 16-megapixel selfie camera. Poco says it has added 2X “lossless” zoom mode, which uses a cropped portion of the sensor to capture a magnified image. There are also seven film camera filters if you want to add some retro effects to your photos.

The main camera captures decent landscape shots during the day. HDR is handled well, dynamic range is acceptable and colours are pleasing. The camera struggles a bit to resolve finer details in distant objects, for instance horizontal lines of a building can appear a bit jagged. These inconstancies are only really noticeable once you zoom into the image and go looking for them. There’s no issue with close-up shots, which have good sharpness and well-saturated colours.

Low-light images from the main camera have good exposure and details. I didn’t notice much of a difference between regular and Night mode shots, which is a good thing. Images taken at 2X magnification during the day show no visible loss in details. The maximum zoom level is 10X and images are quite usable even at this level, provided you’re shooting in daylight.

The ultra-wide camera expectedly doesn’t capture as much details as the main one even under good lighting. Exposure can be a bit of a hit or miss too. In low light, this camera under-exposes the scene unless you use Night mode, which has a visible improvement. Macro photos from the macro camera are usually below average, even in good light.

The selfie camera on the Poco F5 5G is not great, but can capture passable selfies. It tends to struggle with backlit selfies, and the Portrait mode with this camera isn’t very convincing. Low-light selfies have visible grain on facial features and details are a bit fuzzy.

The Poco F5 5G can capture videos up to 4K 30fps using the main camera, while the ultra-wide is limited to 1080p 30fps. Videos recorded at 4K look decent in the day but walking and shooting does introduce some jitter in the video, which is more pronounced in low light. The video quality from the ultra-wide camera is average as footage is generally under-exposed.

Verdict

The Poco F5 5G is an undeniable powerhouse at this price as it delivers raw performance that comes close to Qualcomm’s flagship 8 Gen series SoCs. This, coupled with the good heat management makes the F5 5G an excellent option for anyone looking for a powerful smartphone for gaming. Other areas where the F5 5G excels are its display, good battery life, and slim design. I just wished it felt a bit more premium like its predecessor did. The selfie and ultra-wide cameras are also fairly average and could have been better. 

If you want a more premium looking phone, the Nothing Phone 1 checks all the boxes at this price, and gets you wireless charging. The Samsung Galaxy A34 and Motorola Edge 40 are also worth considering if you need full-fledged waterproofing. If you are looking for good camera performance around this price, then the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ 5G makes a good alternative as it features familiar software, and comes with quicker charging and a better set of cameras. 

Samsung Galaxy A34 5G was recently launched by the company in India alongside the more expensive Galaxy A54 5G smartphone. How does this phone fare against the Nothing Phone 1 and the iQoo Neo 7?
