Redmi Note 11 global line announced
Xiaomi presented this last Wednesday the version of its Redmi Note 11 line, which comes with four models to cover the price range from 180 dollars to 380 dollars.
Redmi Note 11 and Note 11S are very similar, bringing a 90 Hz Full HD AMOLED screen and the same RAM and storage options, in addition to the same look with a flat screen and rear block with a lens more prominent than the others.
The differences are basically in the processor and cameras, with the Redmi Note 11 bringing Snapdragon 680 and 50 megapixel sensor against a Helio G96 and 108-megapixel camera of the Redmi Note 11S. They also bring stereo sound and IP53 certification against water and dust, and Android 11 under the MIUI 13 interface.
The same goes for the Redmi Note 11 Pro and Note 11 Pro 5G, which have a common look and many of the specifications. Both feature a 120 Hz Full HD AMOLED screen and options of 6 or 8 GB of RAM.
While the model with 5G support has Snapdragon 695, the 4G model has the same Helio G96 as the Redmi Note 11S. Interestingly, the most expensive has three cameras and the cheapest has four cameras, the same three sensors being the other with an additional one for depth data.
There is stereo sound, IP53 certification and a 5,000 mAh battery with 67 Watt charging in both, in addition to Android 11 and MIUI 13.
The international sale starts today, but it may still take some time before they arrive in Brazil.
Dimensity 9000 impresses in tests
The Dimensity 9000 was presented by MediaTek last year, but it should only hit the market in cell phones launched at the end of the first semester. To give you a taste of what to expect from the chip, some tests done with it were leaked , showing that Qualcomm and Samsung won’t take it easy in 2022.
The numbers of the Dimensity 9000 on Geekbench surpass not only the recently announced Exynos 2200 but also also the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, both by a considerable margin in the multi-core test, and it comes close to the Apple A15 Bionic when all its cores are used.
Among them, Samsung’s chipset was the big disappointment, falling behind even the Snapdragon 888 in the single-core test and outperforming it by very little with all cores.
It is worth remembering, however, that only the A15 Bionic and the Snapdragon are already available on commercial devices, as the Exynos 2200 should arrive with the Galaxy S22 lineup in early February, and the Dimensity 9000 just a few months away. So it’s better to wait for further tests before counting on a victory for MediaTek.
And speaking of the Dimensity 9000, a rumor points that we can have a model of the Galaxy A line equipped with the chipset , which could even even put it above the S22 in performance. This was never done by the brand, but competition with Chinese companies may have made Samsung review some of its policies.
Considering the composition of the line, it is probably the Galaxy A83, which would be sold in selected markets like its predecessors.
Realme 9 Pro line has commented details
The Realme 9 lineup should soon grow with the arrival of the Pro and Pro Plus variants. Both had a lot of information and even leaked images in the last few days, showing visual coming directly from Oppo and OnePlus phones, and intermediate hardware to face Xiaomi.
For the first time both models will bring 5G connection, using a Dimensity 920 chipset in the Realme 9 Pro Plus and one Snapdragon 695 on Realme 9 Pro. Camera specifications are curious, with a main sensor of 50 megapixels on the Pro Plus and 64 megapixels on the Pro.
Both models should bring 120 Hz AMOLED display, which would be a little smaller on the Realme 9 Pro Plus, also justifying a smaller battery on this model. They would come with Android 12 from the factory, and should be made official in February.
Galaxy S22 has a confirmed release date
After many rumors and misinformation, Samsung finally announced the date of its Galaxy Unpacked event, where it will present the Galaxy S22 cell phone line and the Tab S8 tablets.
The event was scheduled for the next February 9th at 11:40 am Brasília time, and the transmission will take place through social media and the website of brand. Shortly after, an invitation focused on Brazil was sent talking about the date of February 15th, which indicates that the new cell phones should arrive very quickly in our country.
Thinking about finishing spoiling the Samsung party, a real flurry of leaks have taken over the Internet in recent days, reinforcing the look, specifications and expected price for the three devices.
If everything is confirmed, we will have good changes especially in the S22 and S22 Ultra, where the first one will correct many points of its predecessor and the second will serve as a spiritual successor to the Galaxy Note series, featuring an S Pen with a dedicated slot and a squarer look.
iPhone 14 and iPhone 15 rumors
The iPhone 14 should only be released in September by Apple, but nothing prevents rumors about him from already appearing in droves, or even about his successor that only arrives in the second half of next year.
Rumors about the iPhone 14 published this week say it will have A16 Bionic chip made in 4 nanometers , seeking to match the technology of rivals Qualcomm, Samsung and MediaTek. Those hoping for Touch ID under the screen, however, may end up disappointed, because that shouldn’t happen, and users will stick with Face ID as their only form of biometrics.
Another information that should disappoint is that the 120 Hz screen should remain restricted to Pro models, leaving iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max with 60 Hz.
As for the iPhone 15, it was said that the Pro models should finally bring a periscopic lens camera for high-close zoom, in addition to offering the curious new look with i notch.
Motorola Frontier gets images and details
We close this issue from Duty TC talking about the Motorola Frontier, which should be the company’s great flagship in 2022.
The model had leaked images and technical sheet during the week, and it should bring everything you’d expect from a flagship, such as a 144 Hz Full HD OLED curved screen, a revised Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor (which is not yet known if it will be called Gen 2 or Gen 1 Plus), 200 megapixels and 125 Watt charging.
The device would have a much more modern and premium look than the Edge X30, Motorola’s current most powerful cell phone, but it is not yet known what would its final name be or when it will be released.
The Edge 30 Pro is expected to be released very soon, which already was even approved by Anatel and must be the global version of Edge X30 . The model features Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, fingerprint reader under the screen, OLED Full HD 144 Hz screen, 50 megapixel main camera and 5000 mAh battery with 68 Watt recharge.
