Following on from my comparison of the Hisilicon Kirin 820 with the Snapdragon 765G, Samsung and MediaTek chipsets lets see how the Chinese brand has improved their mid-range chipset over the past 3 years. The Kirin 710 was launched back in 2018 and is identical to the Kirin 710F, just in a different package. Normally…
MediaTek announced the Helio G90T a few months ago and the Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro is the first and only phone to use this chipset. MediaTek is not particularly well known for their high-performance chipsets so this launch has come as a bit of a surprise with the specification looking like it should provide…
I have been waxing lyrical about Realme recently and how they offer unparalleled value for money with their recent launches, in particular, the Realme X2 Pro. Though this is not entirely accurate, the value king has been Xiaomi for several years now, and while Xiaomi doesn’t have something to compete directly with the X2 Pro…
Three phones by three companies all with very similar specs, so it comes as no surprise that each company is owned by the same parent company, BBK Electronics. While the Oppo Reno Ace has not been announced in the UK yet, it is expected to soon. The OnePlus 7T was first out the door with an…
The Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 was launched almost two years ago, and the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 is due to be replaced with the Snapdragon 865. Earlier this year the Snapdragon 710 was superseded by the new Snapdragon 730 and as technology improves the performance trickles down with generations. So how do this year’s upper-midrange chipsets compare…
With the launch of HarmonyOS on the Honor Vision & Vision Pro TVs, I thought it was worth looking into the chipsets that power these devices. With 4K HDR playback available on most TVs you would expect something relatively beefy powering the underlying SmartOS. Flagship mobiles are currently using the 7nm fabrication process, but most…
A few days ago Huawei owned HiSilicon launched the new Kirin 810 chipset which will target the upper midrange market and presumably act as a tier above the current HiSilicon 710. The new chip fabricated on TSMC’s 7 nm process, features two Cortex-A76 big cores operating at up to 2.27 GHz along with six Cortex-A55…
