I like the mediatek powered amazon firetv stick 4k cuz I can watch anything from news to entertainment to sports to music cuz it has a huge number of apps
i like that the amazon echo dot lets u control ur smart home with a few voice commands, make calls, stream music and whatnot. plus the mediatek chipset inside really handles everything so smoothly.
Actually, I prefer the amazon echo dot 4th gen cuz it has a better audio quality overall and really good processing speed thanks to the mediatek chipset inside.
Greatdeals: Our most popular Echo is now even better. With a new speaker and design, Echo Dot is a voice-controlled smart speaker with Alexa, perfect for any room. Just ask for music, news, information, and more. You can also call almost anyone and control compatible smart home devices with your voice. Available for #25,000 Dm/WhatsApp:07052148292
Yeah apart from the Helio G95 SoC, the Realme 8 has a large battery at 5,000 mAh with support for slower 30W Dart Charge fast charging. I quite like this phone.
akingbadeomoseb: Realme 8 is a pretty good smartphone and it has really fantastic specs and features to offer. The Helio G95 processor itself is amazing whether it's for gaming or otherwise
I feel like Realme is also not very well known but their phones have really good cameras. The recently released Realme 8 is quite nice. I feel it has some pretty nice specs that makes it a good investment if you are looking for a budget smartphone with a solid 4G mediatek chipset.
realme has some nice budget phones for sure. the recently released realme C21 and realme c25 are quite good with solid mediatek chipsets.
kimmjacobs: Realme puts the number 7 in its rear view mirror and introduces the realme 8 and 8 Pro. However, just because something is behind you, it doesn’t mean it’s gone. In fact, looking at the specs the 7-series may haunt the 8-series as the two have a lot of similarities.
The new phones are not without their upgrades, of course. But before we dive in, we should note that there seems to be a geographic division between the two new models.
The realme 8 Pro is coming to Europe next week and it will be available in India as well. The vanilla realme 8 is headed to India, but we haven’t heard anything about a European launch at this point.
Realme 8 Pro
It will be difficult for the Realme 8 Pro to escape comparisons with its predecessor. The obvious upgrade is the main camera with its 108MP sensor. However, a few things are the same and there are even some regressions, so the 8 Pro is not a clear-cut upgrade over the 7 Pro. Even the realme 6 Pro is not easy to dismiss.
All three models are powered by the Snapdragon 720G. It’s a chipset that realme knows and loves. And it has spent a lot of time optimizing Realme UI to run on that particular chip. Along with the C25 announced on Monday, the 8 and 8 Pro are the first to come with version 2.0 of the UI out of the box outside of China.
Memory options are the same, you can pick between 6GB and 8GB of RAM, storage is always 128GB – but if you need more, the dedicated spot for a microSD on the triple card tray makes expansion easy. This is a dual SIM phone with 4G connectivity, by the way, if you want 5G you should look at the X-series (or the Narzo phones).
There is exactly one reason to buy the realme 8 Pro – the 108MP Samsung HM2 sensor. It has 0.7 µm pixels and supports 9-in-1 binning (final image resolution then is 12MP). It’s a large sensor too, 1/1.52”, with an f/1.9 aperture, so it serves as a solid base for great low-light imaging. The sensor also natively supports zoom up to 3x. Since only 12MP of the full sensor is used, the phone has enough processing power to snap eight frames and merge them into one final image. According to realme, the end result is better than a photo from a camera with a 3x lens (a claim we’re sure to test).
The large sensor covers the hardware part, the updated Super Nightscape mode handles the software part. It has a sibling in the Ultra Nightscape Video mode and for patient star-gazers, Starry Mode is now available for videos too (the first such mode on a phone). If you have an hour, the phone can snap 240 frames (each 15 seconds apart) and string them into an 8 second video that shows the movement of the night sky.
The 8MP ultrawide camera has a lens with an f/2.25 aperture and 119º field of view. Finally, a 2MP macro cam and a 2MP B&W camera round up the quartet on the back. On the front is a 16MP selfie camera (IMX471, f/2.45).
Speaking of the front, the realme 8 Pro has a 6.4” Super AMOLED display. It’s not quite the same panel as on the 7 Pro, this one is brighter with a peak of 1,000 nits. Another upgrade is the 180Hz touch sampling rate, but that is of limited use when the display refreshes at 60Hz. Moving on, the 4,500 mAh battery promises up 20 hours of uninterrupted YouTube videos or 8 hours of gaming. And the supplied 65W charger can refill half of it in 17 minutes, the other half takes 30 more minutes.Note that the phone actually charges at 50W. The older realme 7 Pro did support 65W (and it’s actually faster too – its 4,500 mAh battery gets to 50% in 12 minutes and to 100% in 34 minutes).
Realme 8
The Realme 8 will also be compared to its predecessor (to the Realme 7 that launched in Asia, at least). It drops the 90Hz IPS LCD for a 60Hz Super AMOLED. In fact, this appears to be the same panel as on the Pro – 6.4”, 1080p+, 1,000 nits peak brightness and 180Hz touch sampling rate. However, the vanilla model switches to the Helio G95, which was also used in the Realme 7. When we reviewed the 7 and 7 Pro last year, we found that the G95 has a slightly slower CPU and a slightly faster GPU.
It also helps that realme beefed up the cooling by switching the carbon fiber setup with copper (which improved cooling efficiency by 14%). But this is realme’s camera-focused line (a different series focuses on chipset performance), so let’s look at the camera.
It’s the same as the realme 7 camera, starting with the 64MP main module, following that with the 8MP ultra wide-angle (119º) camera and the two additional modules (2MP macro, 2MP B&W). The phone still can’t shoot 4K video, that is a privilege reserved for Pro owners.
The 5,000 mAh battery is the same too with the same 30W Dart charger. 50% charge can be achieved in 26 minutes, a full charge takes a total of 65 minutes. And here’s something funny – the vanilla realme 8 advertises 23 hours of YouTube videos and 10 hours of gaming. If you compare to the battery claims of the Pro, it only promises 20 hours of YouTube and 8 hours of gaming. The MediaTek is a 12nm chipset, the Snapdragon is an 8nm chip, so you’d think the roles would be reversed (especially considering the identical screens on the two models).One relatively important change is that the phone now comes with 128GB storage as standard, however a trade-off was made. The base model starts with 4GB of RAM (6GB and 8GB options are available too). There’s a dedicated spot for a microSD card if you need more storage.
Realme has released so many phones in Kenya by now. Just recently the Realme C11 with a mediatek helio chipset was announced with an Android 11 patch. looks good.
Plus, the internal hardware of the new A15s is where it differs from the old A15. The newer model comes with a single storage of 64GB and a RAM of 4GB. The Oppo A15s has more RAM along with the helio P35 chipset, which means that more applications can run at the same time, which makes the device faster. If you prefer a phone with more storage, worry not because you can even insert a micro SD card up to 256GB. This kind of 100% increase in memory from the OPPO A15 is a really useful feature.
I like that the Oppo A15s has a huge display of 6.52 inch along with an HD resolution of 720 x 1520 pixels and a fast Helio P35 chipset which makes watching movies, TV shows, or even watching cat videos on youtube a delight. Also, I love that it has not one, not two but a triple camera setup that gives bright and sharp images.
true, the oppo reno 2 F has some really nice features for that price. it looks good with a solid 48MP camera layout and a mediatek helio processor.
Nellsworld: Guy save money and buy oppo premium phones like the reno 2f and above, or close eye buy the reno 3, Samsung, Huawei and Reno mid range phones are scrap to me, if u wan enjoy those brands, get their upper mid range or flagship phones, u can try realme sha, at least they get beta mid range as redmi don tire u
What i like the most about the oppo reno 2 F is its reliable helio P70 chipset and the smooth and elegant design of the phone.
samueloyem19: The Oppo smartphone are good only with nice great cameras. I will say especially with mediatek processors the Oppo phones are pretty great. I will say go for Oppo Reno 2F smartphone
realme has good phones yes. their recent X7 lineup is something to look out for. the design is nice as is the dimensity 800U chipset it comes with.
bennyefosa19: u are right. realme 7 is good for everyday use and the battery is very big so it lasts for a long time as well. even more than a day with normal usage. mediatek processor and the 48Mp camera used is good as well.
camon series is good. the tecno camon 16 pro seems like a very good phone, plus the helio gaming chipset is quite useful even for daily tasks.
Epass2f: Thanks alot, but all these you mentioned are for the old model of infinix and Tecno then...
Have you try using their latest range of phones, likes of their Camon series and spark series by numbers even their phantom by numbers as well, bcuz I am using the Spark 3pro and I am not having all these issues, now I want to upgrade to these same Tecno camon 16 pro or premium because of the camera quality on it, but with the spark 7p spec I am changing my mind in buying it.
Seems like samsung has taken the plunge and will be one of the first companies to launch a smartphone carrying the dimensity 720 processor from MediaTek.
Benemond: Samsung Galaxy A32 5G have apparently leaked as a phone inspired by the LG Velvet
Samsung Galaxy A32 5G has been dispatched in the European market its least expensive 5G cell phone to date. The telephone has moderately thick bezels on the sides and top and a considerably thicker jaw. The Galaxy A32 5G games an indent for the selfie camera and a quad back camera arrangement that seems to sit flush with the rear of the telephone. it comes in two RAM and capacity designs, and four shading choices.
Galaxy A32 5G particulars
The Samsung Galaxy A32 5G highlights a 6.5-inch HD+ TFT Infinity-V Display with a thick jawline. It will be controlled by an octa-center SoC with up to 8GB of RAM with the make contingent upon the area. The telephone accompanies up to 128GB capacity on board that is expandable through microSD card (up to 1TB) For photographs and recordings, the phone accompanies a quad back camera arrangement that incorporates a 48-megapixel essential sensor with a f/1.8 focal point, a 8-megapixel sensor with a super wide-point f/2.2 focal point, a 5-megapixel full scale shooter with a f/2.4 focal point, and in conclusion a 2-megapixel profundity sensor with a f/2.4 focal point.

It could very well be the Galaxy A32 5G that was launched in Europe earlier this year. Rumours also say that it is possible that the Samsung Galaxy Jump is exclusively meant to launch in South Korea.
The Realme Q3 is going to launch with the dimensity 1100 soon. With a 6nm process and 8 cores, this processor is quite powerful. Hope the realme Q3 launches in Africa as well.
tidedroid: was hoping for dimensity 1000+ or 1100 on the pro 5g
Hope this new realme phone doesn't come with a 'dare to leap' lettering at the back. Otherwise, it looks good. Love the addition of the dimensity 1100 chipset.
alanwatt: The Realme Q3 series will be unveiled next week and the company’s slogan, “Dare to leap”, will be painted on the back of the phones with phosphorescent paint that will glow in the dark. The teaser clip below was posted by Realme’s Vice President, Xu Qi Chase.
The VP also called the Realme Q3 the “thousand yuan king”, which contradicts the leaked price of CNY 2,000. The current Q2 series falls in the CNY 1,000-1,500 range ($150-230).
The company expects the new Q3 series to surpass the current Q2 models, which have proven to be quite successful and have reached 1 million sales.
From what we’ve heard from rumors so far, the Realme Q3 will feature a 120 Hz screen, a Dimensity 1100 chipset and a 4,500 mAh battery with 50W fast charging. As Realme loves teasers, we expect to get some official info on the phone before next week’s reveal.
As a reminder, we're also expecting the Realme 8 5G to go official next week (the Q3 themselves should feature 5G as well).
When will they release in africa? Really looking forward to checking out the cameras and the dimensity 800U processor of the Realme V15 5G.
jakepaulson: Realme V15 5G has launched in China after many days of teasers and leaks. The new Realme smartphone comes with 50W fast charging, a triple rear camera setup, and a hole-punch display design. The Realme V15 also carries MediaTek Dimensity 800U SoC that brings 5G connectivity. Realme is offering the smartphone in three distinct colour options, one of which is called Koi and features the company's tagline: ‘Dare to Leap'. The Realme V15 5G competes with the likes of the Huawei Nova 7 SE 5G Youth and iQoo U3. It is also likely to give a tough fight to the Redmi Note 9T that Xiaomi is launching on Friday, January 8. Realme V15 5G price
Realme V15 5G price has been set at CNY 1,399 (roughly Rs. 15,900) for the 6GB RAM variant, while the 8GB RAM option of the phone is priced at CNY 1,999 (roughly Rs. 22,700). The phone comes in Crescent Silver, Koi, and Mirror Lake Blue colour options. It is available for pre-orders in China, with its sale planned for January 14. At the time of writing, there is no word on the global launch of the Realme V15 5G. Realme V15 5G specifications
The dual-SIM (Nano) Realme V15 5G runs on Android 10 with Realme UI on top, and features a 6.4-inch full-HD+ (1,080x2,400 pixels) AMOLED display with a 20:9 aspect ratio and a 90.8 percent screen-to-body ratio. The phone is powered by the octa-core MediaTek Dimensity 800U SoC, paired with up to 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM. In terms of optics, there is a triple rear camera setup that flaunts a 64-megapixel primary sensor with an f/1.8 lens, an 8-megapixel secondary sensor with an ultra-wide-angle f/2.3 lens, and a 2-megapixel sensor with a macro f/2.4 lens.
Hope this realme X7 5G comes to Africa soon. it has a lot of cool features especially the inclusion of the integrated mediatek dimensity 800U processor.
The dimensity series is quite good at handling heavy gaming in phones tbh. The dimensity 1000+ is already being used in some phones (like oppo and realme) and the 1100 and 1200 will also come to the global market soon I think...
SD 665 is better than Helio G85 in real-life performance, despite the latter boasting lot more Antutu Benchmark scores.
I'm yet to be convinced that Mediatek is up for some real competition. The new Dimensity 800u can't even handle a lot of games without lag. Even COD is locked at medium graphics with it, although I agree optimization is yet to be made.
Still, I'd pick Snapdragon over Meditatek anyday. Only HELIO G90T and Dimensity 1000 impress me.
Yes it is. I like the Oppo Reno2 F because has a good integrated mediatek helio processor and 48MP cameras.
bennyefosa19: it seems like the oppo reno 2 F is a good smartphone for someone who is looking for an affordable device, i especially like the inclusion of the mediatek helio P70 processor
Waiting for a ColorOs update on the Oppo reno2 F. Seems like it will be out soon. Love the huge 6.5 inch display and the helio P70 chipset in the Oppo Reno2 F
The camon 16 premier has a fast refresh rate which really gels well with the mediatek helio G90 T chipset for smooth performance during gaming. For daily use too it is an ideal phone.
Agreed. Infinix tends to make good quality and lost lasting smartphones. Can't argue against that. Personally I love the infinix note 8. It is such a classy phone with a powerful mediatek chipset.
bennyefosa19: infinix always has such good quality smartphones. the infinix note 8 is a good option and looks really good. plus, it has a nice mediatek processor as well.
yes even i like the gaming experience of the tecno camon 16 pro. the helio G70 is quite good at handling fast movements and the touch response of the screen is good too.
saratackit: I later discovered that too, we played multi player on CODM with TECNO CAMON 16 pro and it was great
