lovecares34: You are not supposed to connect your freezer to a stabilizer while your Gen is on. That was the mistake u made. Next time, plug the freezer directly and not through a stabilizer.
Code name: TECNO LD7. The maiden edition of the Pova series is definitely is one of those unique mix and match of specs that we don't see a lot of. We have seen an otherwise low end smartphone with a lot of Storage space on the TECNO Spark 5 Pro but here we have an otherwise low end smartphone with a lot of gaming performance and long lasting battery life.
The Helio G80 CPU is no slouch in the least bit. It offers a really smooth experience. Also, 6000mAh battery has never lasted this long, before now. Battery optimisation is stellar, 21 hours screen-on time is definitely a first for me. The long and short of it is that, you'd need to open this phone's camera before you realise it's not the average well rounded midrange phone, that you may be used to.
In order to decide whether to buy it or not, you'd need to see that camera output , to know if you're cool with the barely there low end quality. See screenshots from video below.
kissval1388: Hello Nairalanders and phone gurus, please I seriously need your help now... I bought a new Infinix Note8i last week.. I woke up this morning only to noticed that my phone battery percentage is at 67% despite the fact that we had light through out the night..
Now Nepa light is back and I plugged the phone, it's charging but whenever it gets to 65% the charging stop... Just thesame way it does when it reaches 100%... When I unplug the phone, use it and plug it back, it will still stop charging at 65%... Please what is the problem and how can I solve this problem?
Tiwaz2: After ten years off the camera, The owner of this great forum, Oluwaseun Osewa has finally shared his new picture. He is now fat. Money good ooo, The real mother of transformation is money
Nairalandgirl: Good evening, i need phone recommendations(not fairly used) my budget is 60 to 70k last I need a phone that 1. Supports Glo4g (band 28 and 4) 2. Has Corning gorilla glass Pls any phone recommendation apart from Xiaomi as I am currently using one.. Techno and Infinix is also off the list pls.. Thanks in anticipation of your response
atheistandproud: Qualcomm and Mediatek are cut throat competitors in the midrange market. When the Helio G90T was released to great fanfare in 2019, Snapdragon soon replied with the SD720G in Jan 2020 which became an instant hit. Mediatek fired back the next month with the Helio P95.
The SD720G can be found on the Xiaomi Redmi Note 9S and 9Pro while the Helio P95 powers the all new Oppo A93. Intending buyers may be wondering, which phone is the better phone in terms of performance, gaming, heating, app switching/multitasking, battery conservation, network and connectivity etc. A lot of the aforementioned are dependent on the SoCs used. So without wasting further time, lets look at SD720G vs Helio P95.
Note: This is an SoC comparison alone.
Microarchitecture
The SD720G is an octacore SoC with a 2+6 big.LITTLE arrangement of 2 Kryo 465 Gold (A76) cores running at 2.3GHz and 6 Kryo 465 Silver (A55) cores clocked at 1.8GHz. The Helio P95 is also an octacore SoC with the same 2+6 big.LITTLE of 2 cortex A75 (2.2GHz) and 6 cortex A55 (2.0GHz). The SD720G has the better “big” cores and would handle heavy tasks and apps better. The P95 on the other hand may seem faster because it has faster “small” cores for normal light tasks such as watching movies slightly better. Point goes to the SD720G.
Instruction Set Architecture
They are both built on the ARMv8.2-A ISA so this is a tie.
Size
The transistors on the SD720G are 8nm while those on the Helio P95 are 12nm. This means that the SD720G will be cooler, heat less, be more efficient and conserve battery better than the Helio P95.
GPU
The SD720G comes with the Adreno 618 GPU which is much better than the PowerVR GM9446 on the Helio P95. The Adreno 618 together with the CPU cores on the SD720G will handle games better and faster than the Helio P95.
RAM
Both the SD720G and the Helio P95 come with LPDDR4X RAM modules but the SD720G has the faster RAM which is clocked at 2133MHz as compare to the 1866MHz on the P95. This means that multitasking and app switching as well as loading times will be faster on the SD720G.
Storage
The SD720G and the P95 both use UFS 2.1 storage option. In addition, the P95 supports eMMC 5.1. So point goes to the P95 for having more storage options.
ISP
SD720G come with Spectra 350L on board as well as Hexagon DSP 692 for AI and machine learning. Mediatek on the other hand did not name their ISP but they did say that there is APU 2.0 on board. APU stands for AI Processing Unit. This means that SD720G supports maximum camera resolutions of up to 192MP. The P95 on the other hand maxes out at 64MP. They both record 4K video at 30fps but while SD720G can play 4K video back at 30fps, the P95 can do it at 60fps. SD720G may not be able to playback 4K video at 30fps but it has the better ISP so it takes this point.
Maximum Display Resolution
Both can display video at a resolution of 2520 x 1080p. It is a tie here.
Modem and connectivity
The SD720G has onboard an X15 modem which has uplink speeds of 150Mbps and downlink speeds of 800Mbps. The P95 has a generic cat.12 modem with uplink speeds of 150Mbps and downlink speeds of 600Mbps. Both SoCs have WiFi 5 but the SD720G steps ahead with a Bluetooth 5.1 while the P95 uses the version 5.0.
Benchmarks
On GeekBench, the SD720G has scores of 574 (single core) and 1719 (multi core). The P95 stays behind with scores of 399 (single core) and 1507 (multi core). With the addition of GPU test scores on Antutu, the gap between both SoCS is widened further to 281040 (SD720G) and 211053 (P95). SD720G is the clear winner in terms of performance.
Age
Both SoCs were released this year with the SD720G being announced in January and the P95 showing up in February.
Final say
SD720G is better. No contest.
Redmi Note 9S is sold for around 95k for the 6/64GB model while the Redmi Note 9Pro is sold for 112k for the 6/128GB model.
The Pro variant of the Spark 5 isn't is successor and in fact, could have been released to the market alongside the vanilla spark 5 because of its a total 1:1 physical copy. On the inside, Spark 5 Pro has a better primary camera, 16MP vs 13MP on the vanilla spark5, the camera software also comes with Slo-mo, which isn't on the Spark 5. I compared the camera side by side to see if there are big or small improvements between them. Not surprising to find that the camera improvements are small. The 1.8GHZ Helio A25 Octa-Core CPU on the Spark5 Pro is of course better than the Helio A22 Quad-Core CPU, clocked at 2.0GHZ on the vanilla Spark 5, but not by a whole lot.
They spot the same 5000mAh battery but the Spark 5 lasts longer because of its underpowered chip. For all intents and purposes, the Spark 5 Pro offers better value for money than the spark 5 and the 128GB variant seems unusual but I think it's meant for specific kinds of people i.e people who would never come close to taking advantage of a much powerful mid-range chipset but still want a lot of storage space. In deciding whether to buy a low end phone with a lot of storage or a mid-range phone with less storage, it's better to follow your actual smartphone habits/needs as an individual.
