This is the cheapest 5G smartphone right now

by Petre Popescu
3y ago
Almost two years ago, when 5G was just starting to arrive at the masses, all manufacturers announced that 5G-capable smartphones will cost significantly more due to the more complex components and manufacturing process needed. It was a time when it was even speculated that a 5G device could cost up to $350 more than the 4G equivalent. Fast-forward to 2020 when 5G is starting to be truly adopted and we see that this is not really the case. Yes, flagship smartphones had become more expensive than in the past, but 5G is not the main reason. I won’t go into more details (maybe in a separate artic ..read more

Do we need $1000+ flagships?

Most smartphone manufacturers released or are planning on releasing a flagship device that will be priced at around $1000. A few years ago you could get a top of the line smartphone for $600-$700 but nowadays even OnePlus manages to sell their best smartphone at $900, with bigger names easily going over $1000. Technology has evolved a lot and I do get the increase in price. Screen and batteries are getting bigger, smartphones are more powerful and come with more features and many more cameras, but this evolution trickled down to mid-range and low-budget devices as well. Just now, a low-budget ..read more

Things are not looking well for Meng Wanzhou, Huawei’s CFO. She is being held imprisoned in Canada since her arrest in December 2018 and trialed for allegedly selling information and tech to Iran. The Supreme Court of British Columbia has ruled that the case met the “double criminality” standard and she can be further trialed and extradited to the US. Hearings still need to take place and it can take a bit until the end, but this is a crucial step in getting Ms. Meng in the US. For those that don’t know, Meng Wanzhou is assumed of getting money from Iran and was charged with “charged with con ..read more

Last week we started a poll where we tackled the ban on Huawei devices and equipment. We wanted to know who do you think has the same faith, considering the rise of Chinese smartphones in the past years. We only included famous brands that have a significant market share, so manufacturers like Umidigi, Doogee or Elephone are not even on the list. We thought that these are too small to be of any thread. What did the results show? The vast majority, with more than half of the total votes, think that Xiaomi will be next. Xiaomi saw great growth in the past two years and the company started to ex ..read more

We all remember the good old days when OnePlus was making flagship killer devices, smartphones that had specs almost as good as top-of-the-line releases in that year but at almost half the price. Year over year OnePlus has increased their prices and now their latest smartphones cost almost as much as a new Samsung S20+ or Huawei P30 Pro. If the prices are just is a completely different story and one that I am not going to talk about now. Instead, I am going to talk about the good news that was posted by OnePlus’ CEO on Weibo. They are going to release affordable smartphones in the near future ..read more

Realme X3 SuperZoom looses 5G for better cameras

Let’s face it! Even though the push for 5G is well undergoing, for now few locations have access to it and things won’t change that much in the next year or so. That is why for most people, 5G connectivity is not only something they can leave without, it is something that they do not wish due to the extra cost that it involves. Realme had the same idea and that is why it released a high-end smartphone without 5G connectivity, but with some more useful right now. The lack of 5G meant that the company could not go with the Snapdragon 865 since Qualcomm is forcing manufacturers to also include t ..read more
