realme Watch S will be arriving soon, some features unveiled

Smartwatches may not quite be as mainstream as smartphones, but that hasn't stopped brands like realme from joining the smartwatch game this year. First, there's the realme Watch launched back in June and the Watch S Pro that was hinted a few days ago. Now there's also a realme Watch S on the way.

The Twitter account for realme Pakistan was the one that broke the news, confirming that the realme Watch S would be launching on 2 November 2020. It wasn't mentioned whether it's a launch in Pakistan only, but we believe that it's going to be a global launch. Considering that there's a rumour of the realme Watch S Pro, we can probably expect that to be launched as well.

Apple might announce new iMac with Face ID at WWDC 2020

Earlier, we have come across rumours saying that Apple would reveal the first batch of MacBooks that come with ARM-based processors at the upcoming WWDC event. Other than laptops, iMac with a new design is expected to be announced at the event as well. Besides the new design, Apple's desktop computer will also get a technology that is featured on iPhones and iPads for quite some time, and it's the Face ID.

Before the event happens, several leaks about the next-generation iMac have already popped up on the internet. One of them indicates that the next iMac will come with the 3D face recognition system after a twitter user found a file named FaceID.plist that shows support for iOS, tvOS, and macOS. The other leaks will be focusing on the design as it is said that the new iMac will be using iPad Pro's design language.

New iMac incoming at WWDC. iPad Pro design language, with Pro Display like bezels. T2 chip, AMD Navi GPU, and no more fusion drive

Bringing Face ID to iMac doesn't really surprise us as the company has been actively using the technology in the other categories of products. As many Windows devices have turned to face recognition systems for security, it is time for Apple's desktop computer to change as well. However, take the rumour with a pinch of salt as the company hasn't officially announced that they will be making the move.

realme X3 Pro appeared on the GeekBench Benchmark listing with Snapdragon 855+ chipset?

Just a few months back, realme has introduced the new X3-series, the realme X3 and the X3 SuperZoom but not the realme X3 Pro yet. Since the realme X2 Pro achieved the crown for a flagship killer last year, we can’t wait to see the next realme X3 Pro.

Although it all seems to be very similar to the coming realme X3 Pro, there’s still one thing that doesn’t fits the bill which is the use of Snapdragon 855+ because if that is the case, it will be having the same chipset as the realme X2 Pro which doesn’t seem to be an upgrade over the model last year. But interestingly, the realme X3 and X3 Superzoom did come with the same chipset and got an outstanding specifications especially for the X3 Superzoom’s camera capabilities.

With that said, we really hope to see the realme X3 Pro comes with a different chipset or even release two variants, one with the Snapdragon 855+ and another with the Snapdragon 865 for a realme X3 Pro Plus. Besides, it might also have more than a 65W fast charging to charge up the 4400mAH dual-cell battery.

Either way, there’s no official confirmation on the tech specs of the smartphone yet, so do take this with a pinch of salt. But will you be expected more on the device? Let us know at our Facebook page and stay tuned for more news updates on TechNave.com!


Apple might be opening the first Apple Store in Malaysia in 2022?

It seems that a local Twitter user @XavierNaxa recently tweeted that there could be a possibility that Apple will be opening an Apple official store in Malaysia which will be located at the Tun Razak Exchange in Kuala Lumpur. While not much is known in regards to the official date the store will open, the store will be the third of its kind in the Southeast Asian region after Thailand and Singapore.

Based on the tweet, a report by The Edge seems to hint that the management of TRX is currently in discussion with Apple in regards to the store opening. However, do take some of the information with a grain of salt, due to the fact that nothing has been finalized and Apple has yet to provide an official statement in regards to the store opening.

realme X50 Pro 5G review - A flagship device that's great to use, but has some minor flaws

Near the end of 2019, most smartphone brands have already started producing devices with 5G support. realme has been doing the same and one of its latest is the realme X50, which was first launched in China.

For your information, the realme X50 series is the first 5G device from realme. The best model in the X50 series would be the realme X50 Pro 5G that is now available in Malaysia. In this article, we won't be touching on the 5G network in Malaysia. Instead, we will be doing a review of the realme X50 Pro 5G. So, is the first 5G device from realme worth grabbing? Read on to find out!

Design is something very subjective, as it depends on individual tastes. But in our opinion, the design of the realme X50 is simple and it looks like any other Android flagship device. However, what's interesting would be the colour options offered. In Moss Green (green) and Rust Red (red) colours, the phone has a bolder look. Incidentally, the realme X50 Pro 5G we received for review is the Moss Green coloured one.

The back panel of the device is covered with glass that has a matte finish, which gives the user a more comfortable grip. Not only that, but fingerprints will also not easily stick to the device. The arrangement of the rear cameras is also commonly seen on other devices, but the colour of the back of the device plays an important role. You can see for yourself from the pictures below.

The Moss Green colour looks good and attractive

Rear cameras have a standard arrangement

On the front, the phone comes with a 6.44-inch Super AMOLED display with a 92% screen-to-body ratio pill-shaped cutout that contains two selfie cameras. Some may find the pill-shaped cutout a bit annoying, but so far, it is the best design to fit in two cameras.

Slightly unusual here is the positions of the buttons. Specifically, with the volume buttons being placed on the left. Also, like some smartphones have started to do, the X50 Pro doesn't have a 3.5mm audio jack.

Speaker grille, USB-C port, and SIM slot

From our experience with using the phone, we found that it feels a bit heavy when held. But that could be due to how we're used to carrying lighter devices (you can check the device's weight in the tech specs section).

Another disappointing factor is the lack of a MicroSD slot. On the flip side, the existing storage should be more than enough for most users.

You can probably tell most of the high-end features and specifications that a flagship device can have in 2020. Besides the Snapdragon 865 chipset, this phone has a whopping 12GB of RAM to go with its 256GB of internal storage. You can check the list below for the key tech specs and features of the phone.

As you can see from the screenshots above, the realme X50 Pro 5G uses the Android 10-based realme UI 1.0. It's a rather neat interface with a minimalist design and round-shaped icons.

The fingerprint sensor under the screen also works well and unlocks without noticeable delay. Alternatively, you can use face unlock for this device as well. Detection is quite fast in either case, so it really depends on your preference.

Before moving on to performance, it wouldn't feel complete if we don't throw in some benchmark scores. As always, we tested the realme X50 Pro 5G using 3DMark.

From the results, you can see that the phone should have no issues with games. The score is relatively high and serves to highlight the excellence of the Snapdragon 865 chipset.

When it comes to actual gaming, we don't have any complaint to write about. You can set any game to the highest setting and it won't encounter any issues with this phone. Also, the 90Hz refresh rate provides a smooth and satisfying gaming experience.

If you want an example, you can set the graphics settings and frame rate for Call of Duty: Mobile to the highest settings and the phone will run without any problems.

Even after gaming for almost two hours, there was no overheating problem. It was only a little warm but the temperature wasn't high, which is due to the Vapor Cooling System.

As for audio performance, this device comes with two speakers, as well as Dolby Atmos and Hi-Res Audio support. The first speaker is located at the bottom of the device and the second can be found at the top of the device.

We were quite satisfied when it comes to gaming and watching movies on this phone. The quality of the audio is great here and the 90Hz Super AMOLED screen, with 100% colour gamut and 1000nit brightness level, makes the experience all the more satisfying.

Moving on, the realme X50 Pro is equipped with a 4200mAh capacity battery. Now that there are phones out there with battery capacities of 5000mAh and more, you may find that 4200mAh isn't much. But the phone also comes with a SuperDart Charge 65W fast charger.

For charging, it only takes about 37 minutes to go from 0% to 100%! If you're not using the device much, the battery can even last up to 2 days. If you use it normally and play games often (or watch a video or two sometimes), it should be more than enough to last until you're ready to go to sleep. Overall, the durability depends on how you're using the device.

During our 2 weeks with the realme X50 Pro 5G, we also managed to test the cameras. For your info, the rear cameras consist of one 64 MP main camera, 12MP telephoto lens (2x optical zoom), 8MP ultra-wide lens, and a 2 MP depth sensor.

To be honest, even camera performance could be subject to personal taste. While professionals may prefer real-life accuracy, normal users may either prefer more natural colour images or more saturation.

If you prefer natural colours, you might not like what this phone's 64MP main camera can do. The colour saturation seems to be on the heavier side. Fortunately, you can adjust the colour saturation level via the photo editing interface on this device itself. Well, take a look at the sample shots below and judge for yourself.

Besides the main camera, the ultra-wide lens is great for getting a wider view. The colours are also less saturated here, which is great if that's what you prefer for landscape shots.

But the benefit of wider angles isn't limited to just the rear cameras. There's also an 8MP ultra-wide lens on the front! It does have slightly higher colour saturation, but the photo quality is good.

Rear: (Left) Main camera vs (right) ultra-wide lens

Front: Photo on the right was taken with the ultra-wide lens

Front: Portrait mode on the right, managed to blur the background nicely

As you can see, photos taken at 2x optical zoom remain very clear. You could also take close-up shots. If basic close-ups aren't enough for you, you can also choose the Ultra-Macro feature from the camera settings.

We also tried taking some photos at night using Night Mode. The results turned out pretty well. Areas with light sources don't appear as washed out in pictures taken with Night Mode enabled.

With night mode, light sources don't look as washed out

As for video recording, this device is capable of recording up to 4K at 30fps and is equipped with UIS video stabilisation. What's interesting is that it's using an improved version called UIS Max.

There are a few interesting video features too, such as 1080P Slow-Mo Selfie at 120fps. However, we went for Slow-Mo videos at 720p at 960fps instead. You can see the results for yourself in the video below.

UIS Max mode - Video was recorded while running, looks stable!

Overall, the camera performance was solid, if you ignore the colour saturation part. In terms of features, the one we liked the most was the excellent UIS stabilisation.

And that's it for our review of the realme X50 Pro 5G. For 12GB RAM and 256GB at RM2999, this is a phone that's more suitable for those who want a high-end flagship like gamers. After all, what other use is a flagship chipset if not for gaming, right?

Despite the niggles, this is an excellent phone that performs well. In our opinion, the only real problem anyone would have with the phone would be how generic the phone looks and the camera's higher colour saturation. And as we've mentioned, those are mostly subjective personal preferences.

On the other hand, there are plenty of other options if you prefer a device that's catered for mobile gaming. For example, there's the Black Shark 3 that will cost less at RM2799. There is also the OnePlus 8, which also comes with a Snapdragon 865 chipset and is priced at RM2899.

If you want to know more about the realme X50 Pro 5G, you can check out our hands-on and unboxing video of the phone (see video below). Speaking of video, don't forget to subscribe to us on YouTube!

Anyway, the above is just our opinion on the phone but you may have a different one. Let us know what you thought of the realme X50 Pro 5G on our Facebook page and stay tuned to TechNave.com for more articles like this.

realme X50 Pro 5G will be launched online in Madrid instead of MWC Barcelona 2020

Due to fears of a coronavirus outbreak, GSMA yesterday confirmed that this year's Mobile World Congress (MWC) has been cancelled. Now that the event will no longer be held, there have been talks of some brands possibly running their own events during the original MWC 2020 week. It seems that this is what realme would be doing, except in a new location.

In an official announcement, realme declared that it would be pulling out of MWC 2020 due to the event cancellation. Instead, the brand will be having an online global launch held at Madrid on 24 February 2020. We now know that the device that will be launched is the realme X50 Pro 5G, which is expected to be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 chipset, up to 12GB of RAM, and up to 256GB of internal storage.

Additionally, Francis Wang (realme India CMO) has previously teased that there would be something exciting about TV from realme. There was also a rumour about a possible smartwatch after news of the realme fitness tracker named SayHat. If both are true, then realme could reveal a new smart TV and smartwatch during the online launch as well.

The way things are going, it's likely we'll start to see more brands opting to go for an online global launch. While realme has confirmed the date, we're not sure what time the event would start yet. We'll be keeping an eye for updates so make sure to stay tuned to TechNave.com for further news.

realme X50 Youth Edition could be coming soon, with changes made to the front and rear cameras

Back when realme launched the X50 series in February 2020, some were hoping for a more affordable lite version of the phone. It looks like there is going to be one after all, as a new rumour suggests that there is a realme X50 'Youth Edition'. Fancy name aside, this is essentially meant to be the lite variant of the series.

According to Digital Chat Station, the main changes to the realme X50 Youth Edition is a downgrade in camera specs. Compared to the realme X50, the dual-front camera of the Youth Edition is a pair of 16MP and 2MP cameras, instead of 16MP+8MP. As for the back, the quad-camera will be reduced to 48MP+8MP+2MP+2MP, down from 64MP+12MP+8MP+2MP.

Certification for the Youth Edition found in the China Quality Certification Center

There's no mention about the other specs yet, but we don't expect there to be a lot of changes. The only other possible change could be the choice of the chipset, though it has been confirmed that it will continue providing 5G support. So, aside from the Snapdragon 765G chipset, the only other mid-range 5G chipset would be MediaTek's Dimensity 800 chipset.

realme's X50 Youth Edition is likely real but the details stated above haven't been confirmed, so do take the news with a pinch of salt. Having said that, would you be interested in getting this model if it launches here in Malaysia? Let us know on our Facebook page and stay tuned to TechNave.com for more updates on this.


realme X50 series released: Snapdragon 765G and 120Hz display with price from ~RM1473

realme has officially unveiled the realme X50 series in China and it is the first realme smartphone series to come with 5G. In terms of the pricing, the realme X50 series is priced at RMB2499(~RM1473) for the 8GB RAM + 128GB ROM variant while the 6GB RAM + 256GB and 8GB + 256GB variant will set you back about RMB2699(~RM1591) and RMB2999(~RM1767).

In terms of the tech spec, the realme X50 series comes equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G chipset, memory configuration mentioned above, 6.57-inch 120Hz FHD+ display, and a 4200mAh battery which supports 30W VOOC Flash Charge. Camera-wise, the device comes with a 64MP + 12MP + 8MP + 2MP quad-camera setup at the rear, as well a 16MP + 8MP dual front-facing selfie camera.

As for the features, the phone comes with a 120Hz display which provides a much more smooth and immersive user experience especially while playing mobile games. The camera also comes with 960fps slow-motion recording, as well as improved image stabilization for taking photos and videos.

As of now, there is no official information in terms of the Malaysia release date and local pricing of the realme X50.

realme X50m release: Snapdragon 765G chipset and 48MP main camera from ~RM1230

Remember the new realme X50 Youth Edition that we mentioned a while back? Yeah, scratch that name off. It seems that the device is actually going to be called the realme X50m, with 'm' apparently referring to 'Magic Dream' (don't ask). The device is going on sale in China next week on 29 April 2020, with prices starting from 1999 yuan (~RM1230).

realme announced this on its Weibo account, which also revealed some of the realme X50m's specifications. Judging by what's listed, it can be considered as the 'lite' variant for the realme X50. It's confirmed to have the same Snapdragon 765 5G chipset as the standard variant. Also, we expect it to have 8GB of RAM, 128GB of internal storage, a 4200mAh battery, and a 6.57-inch display with 120Hz refresh rate.

The camera department is where you'll see a difference. With the standard realme X50, you get a 64MP main shooter, 12MP telephoto lens, 8MP ultrawide lens, and a 2MP macro camera. As for the realme X50m, it's sporting a 48MP main camera, 8MP ultrawide lens, 2MP macro camera, and 2MP portrait lens. Front cameras are different too, with it sporting a 16MP+2MP dual-camera setup instead of the 16MP+8MP in the standard variant.

What's great about this variant is that the changes aren't too drastic, but you get to save a little extra money if you've been eyeing the realme X50 series. Having said that, we're not sure when this device will launch in Malaysia yet. Will you buy it when it comes to our shores?

Apple might be planning to bring Face ID to all future products

When it comes to security, most Apple products rely on Face ID. The technology uses a TrueDepth camera system to create a detailed 3D map of the user's face, which allows it to "remember" the user for activities such as unlocking the phone and making purchases. However, there are some new products including the iPhone SE (2020) and the entry-level iPad are still using Touch ID for such purposes. It's reported that Apple might change that soon by equipping all of its future products with Face ID.

According to journalist Mark Gurman, Apple plans to bring Face ID to all relevant devices, including the iPhone SE range, iPads, and all Macs. It is worth mentioning that Gurman has a good track record for Apple information, but we still need to take a pinch of salt for what the future holds.

However, the source mentions that it doesn't necessarily mean that the upcoming iPhone SE 3 will come with a Face ID, or the company will stop using Touch ID. Although Face ID is the latest security feature made by the company, there are still some customers who actually prefer the "old" method. Therefore, Apple might have to juggle well between these two features to satisfy different needs.

realme X50t 5G coming soon with either a SD768G or Dimensity 1000?

It seems that the realme X50t has been spotted on mysmartprice.com, which could mean that realme could be unveiling a new smartphone very soon. While not much is known in regards to the tech specs and pricing of the aforementioned smartphone, we can expect it to come with 5G capabilities out of the box.

With that said, if the X50t is meant to be a more powerful version of the realme X50, it will most likely come equipped with either the Qualcomm Snapdragon 768G or the Dimensity 1000 chipset. Do take every bit of information with a grain of salt, due to the fact that realme has yet to provide and official statement on the leak.

Not only that, but there’s also no news on the Malaysia release date and local pricing for now. Would you be interested in getting the realme X50t as soon as it is available in Malaysia? Let us know on our Facebook page and for more updates like this, stay tuned to TechNave.com.


realme X7 Lite to come with a 48MP quad-camera setup

Not long after the release of the realme X7 series, the brand is prepared to be back at it again with a "lite" version of X7. Earlier, the device that is codenamed RMX2173 has appeared on TENAA and it's suspected to be the Realme X7 Lite or Realme X7 Youth. Now, the page has been updated with some tech specs and images giving us a glimpse at the upcoming device.

According to the page, the realme X7 Lite will have lower-end cameras compared to the standard X7 that was previously launched. The realme X7 Lite is expected to have a quad-camera array as well. However, it will bring a 48MP main sensor, an 8MP wide sensor, a 2MP macro lens, and an additional 2MP depth-of-field sensor. The rest of the specs are said to be identical to the realme X7.

To recap, the realme X7 features a MediaTek Dimensity 800U chipset paired with 6/8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. It sports a 6.43-inch Full HD+ 2.5D AMOLED display that supports a 120Hz refresh rate. There is also a 4300mAh battery with 65W fast charging support. If the realme X7 Lite is expected to have identical tech specs as the X7, these should be it but at a lower price point this time.

realme X7 Pro Extreme Edition most likely to come with curved display

Based on a statement by Digital Chat Station on weibo, it seems that the upcoming realme X7 Pro Extreme Edition will most likely come with a curved screen display. Other than that, the internal specs of the smartphone were hinted to be quite similar to the realme X7 Pro.

As for the pricing, the Extreme Edition will most likely be priced higher than RMB2000 (~RM1265). With all that said, do take some of the information with a grain of salt, due to the fact that realme has yet to provide an official statement on the leak.

Not only that, but there’s also no news on the Malaysia release date, local pricing, and exact tech specs of the realme X7 Pro Extreme Edition for now. Would you be interested in getting the smartphone in question as soon as it is available in the local market?

realme X7 Pro found on Geekbench with MTK Dimensity 1000+ chipset

The realme X7 series has been showing up these few days with some rumours and leaks. Earlier, the poster of the device was spotted and revealed a quad-camera setup. Another leaked poster has also directly announced that the realme X7 series will come with a 120Hz screen. Now, the most important part of a smartphone which is the chipset might have been confirmed as well. The Realme X7 Pro will come with a MediaTek Dimensity 1000+ chipset.

The device appeared on Geekbench with a model number RMX2121. With the Dimensity 1000+, it has scored 3,802 for the single-core test and 13,096 for the multi-core test. The Dimensity 1000+ is a flagship-level chipset with support for 1080+ displays and up to 144Hz refresh rate. It’s equipped with four Cortex-A77 cores and four A55 cores, plus a powerful Mali G77 MP9 GPU. Of course, it has a 5G modem on board as well to fit the current smartphone requirement.

To recap, the realme X7 Pro is expected to be packed with 8GB of RAM as the highest. The base model could be getting 6GB only instead. It might also sport a 6.55-inch OLED display with 1080+ resolution. For camera, the quad-camera setup might include a 64MP main sensor and an 8MP sensor with others not being known at the moment. There could also be a 4,500mAh battery that supports 65W fast charging.

realme X7 Pro images leaked, confirms quad-camera module

Last week, it was revealed that realme would be launching its X7 series in China soon. It was believed that the design of the realme 7 series is among the prototypes. Now, some sources have leaked images showing the back of the realme X7 Pro, which may or may not be a different series of device.

Tipster Abhishek Yadav posted what seems to be a poster for a new realme device, which he claims to be the realme X7 series. At the same time, Twitter user the_tech_guy posted a series of images of the realme X7 Pro. If these images are real, then the realme X7 series (or at least the Pro) will have a quad-camera module at the back. If you zoom in on the back, you'll also see the words "64MP Quad Camera".

Aside from the rear cameras, the images also show the front camera - located on the top-left under a small punch hole. Also, the volume buttons are placed on the left, while the power button is on the right side of the phone. We don't see any fingerprint sensors here, so it's possible that realme will be using an under-display fingerprint sensor instead. Some tech specs of the phone were also revealed a few days ago.

Now the only major detail yet to be revealed is the price, but this phone looks like it'll be a good on. With that said, would you be interested in it if it launches here in Malaysia? Let us know on our Facebook page and stay tuned to TechNave.com for more news like this.

Apple might be planning to launch three M2-powered devices in March

Three suspicious model numbers registered in the Eurasian Economic Database are expected to be new Apple M2 products. According to the source, the Cupertino-based company might announce them at a rumoured Spring event that is to be held in March.

Spotted by Consomac, the registration doesn't give us any other information. The numbers registered are A2615, A2686 and A2681, with the latter being described as a laptop. Consomac suggests that the others could be desktop computers, though it's no way to know whether they will be a Mac Pro, Mac Mini or iMac.

Furthermore, it's unnecessary for them to arrive with the new M2 chip, as they also could be new variations of the existing M1 devices. However, previous M1-powered devices' model numbers usually start with A24, so there's still a chance. Apple also usually register their products many months before the launch. Therefore, the company could only announce them on a later date rather than in March.

Are you eager to see the new M2-powered products from Apple? Let us know by leaving a comment, and stay tuned to TechNave.com for more tech reports.


realme X7 Pro review: Great design, versatile features, and a good all-rounder

When it comes to smartphones, it's great to see different phones for different needs. For instance, one phone could emphasise camera performance, while another model is all about CPU performance. Today, we will be taking a closer look at a phone that delivers specs on par with a flagship but remains relatively affordable. We are talking about the realme X7 Pro, which was recently launched in Malaysia!

The realme X7 Pro is equipped with a MediaTek Dimensity 1000+ chipset, 65W fast-charging, and a 64MP quad-camera setup at the back. Sounds impressive, right? But would this phone be worth buying? Let us find out!

When I first saw the realme X7 Pro, I immediately noticed its unique Iridescent back cover. It's one thing to see renders and pictures of it, but it looks way better in real life. You can really appreciate its colour shifting by looking at it from different angles. At times it's a beautiful purplish-blue, but it can also have a shade of orange-pink under the sunset glow.

Its colour shifts under different lighting

As you can see, it has a bit of a greyish colour sometimes. But under the sunlight, you get a shade closer to blue. You can also see the "DARE TO LEAP" slogan emblazoned on the back. The white font really helps it stick out, providing a contrast to the back cover design.

The rear camera bump isn't too thick, so it shouldn't protrude much. Regardless, the silicone case included in the box negates this issue. As for the front, the display is a regular flat screen with a punch-hole camera on the top-left corner. Fortunately, it's not a very big punch-hole. You should be able to comfortably watch movies and play games without noticing it most of the time.

For many phones, the chin tends to be thicker than the top. That's not the case for the realme X7 Pro, which has an equal bezel size for the top and bottom end for a more uniformed look. The phone has a rather silky feel to it but doesn't feel slippery at all. It's not heavy either, as realme avoided using a glass back for this.

However, the realme X7 Pro collects fingerprints as easily as phones using a glass back, but it never feels greasy when you hold it. Another unfortunate thing is the lack of a 3.5mm audio jack. You do get a Type-C to 3.5mm adapter in the box, so you won't have to buy one separately.

Bottom: SIM card tray, Type-C connector, and speaker

Moving on to the tech specs, the realme X7 Pro is equipped with MediaTek's Dimensity 1000+ chipset, 8GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage. It also supports dual SIM, but there's no microSD card slot. You can refer to the list above for a summary.

The realme X7 Pro uses a 6.55-inch Super AMOLED screen, which supports a screen refresh rate of 120Hz and a touch sampling rate of 240Hz. The 120Hz refresh rate is pretty standard for high-end phones by now, but the high touch sampling rate also helps you feel how smooth the device can be.

On that topic, the phone comes with a smart switching mode that can alternate the display between 60Hz and 120Hz. It will automatically drop the refresh rate to 60Hz when the phone becomes warm or if the battery is running low. Also, the realme X7 Pro can reach a maximum brightness of 1200 nits. For a mobile phone at this same price, you could say that the quality is excellent.

The realme X7 Pro is not a small phone by any means, but you can use it with one hand. By sliding upwards on the phone, the icons will drop down into a more compact form near the bottom right corner. This makes it much easier for users to access their favourite apps with one hand.

realme has also included a game assistant feature. When playing a mobile game, swiping left from the right side will bring up the Game Assistant. This feature lets you reply to messages from Messenger and Whatsapp without having to close the game.

Besides the above, the realme X7 Pro also supports face unlock and fingerprint unlock. Fingerprint unlocking is faster and more convenient here, especially since you don't have to remove your mask when you're out and about.

Moving on to the cameras, the X7 Pro comes with a quad-camera setup at the back. This includes the primary 64MP camera, an 8MP ultra-wide lens, a 2MP retro portrait lens, and a 2MP macro lens. As for camera features, it has quite a few of them, indicating a focus on mobile photography. This includes a night scene mode, macro mode, time-lapse mode, and more.

Normal mode (left), anti-shake mode (middle), anti-shake Max (right)

The 64MP camera modes include an auto AI mode or Pro mode. In Pro mode, you can adjust settings like the ISO, aperture, and more. Most phones have this mode nowadays, but realme separated the Pro mode to make it easier to use. As for the front camera, it can use the night scene, portrait, and beautification features.

In terms of video recording, realme X7 Pro supports anti-shake and super anti-shake Max mode. You will notice that there's a difference in visual distance between the two modes. This is because the modes are being applied to separate lenses, so do keep that in mind.

In the comparison above, you can clearly see the difference in image quality. Photos are generally darker in anti-shake Max, plus you can see some noise and visual blur even with sufficient light. Overall, it feels that normal and anti-shake mode deliver better photos. If you want to use the anti-shake Max mode, make sure there's enough light and that the object/subject taken doesn't need to look very detailed.

In poor lighting conditions, we recommend using the anti-shake mode. If that's not enough for you, just use a smartphone gimbal. Another neat feature is optical text recognition, which you can use to scan documents.

In terms of battery life, the realme X7 Pro has a 4500mAh battery and supports 65W fast-charging. The phone can be charged from 0 to 8% in 4 minutes, while a 34-minute charge is enough to get it up to 82%. You can fully recharge the battery in just 46 minutes, which is quite fast.

If you avoid using the phone for mobile games or binging on Netflix, it's more than enough to last an entire day. During our test, a 1 hour and 20 minutes video consumed around 10% of the battery. If all you do is browse the Internet and check for messages, a full charge every two days should be more than enough.

As previously mentioned, this phone has the Dimensity 1000+ chipset, along with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. On Geekbench 5, it scored 771 points for single-core and 2544 points for multi-core. Then in 3DMark, it scored 3875 points in the Wild Life benchmark.

For games with lower requirements, this phone is more than enough. But when we tried to play Genshin Impact on 60FPS and maxed out settings, the game would freeze occasionally. Soon after, the phone would start to heat up, and the power consumption increases dramatically. In less than an hour, there was only 35% of the battery left.

Genshin Impact - Most settings maxed out

As you can see, the realme X7 Pro's battery can't handle certain types of games. If you play a lot of mobile games, be ready to recharge the phone twice a day. Besides that, the phone does well enough for most daily tasks.

We did encounter a weird issue when we were taking some photos with it. Specifically, the camera app will sometimes freeze when taking a picture. Even if we were to press a button, there wouldn't be any response. Naturally, any photos taken would not be captured. This seems to happen when the app needs more time to cache pictures taken in portrait mode, night scene mode, or Selfie mode.

As for the cameras, they do well in colour reproduction and delivering accurate details. We didn't encounter any drastic overexposure, even when taking photos under the bright sun from 10 am to 1 am.

We could try to describe how the photos turned out despite not being professionals. But as they say, a picture paints a thousand words. We've taken the liberty of uploading a few of the photos we've taken, so check them out!

After zooming in, you can see the roots of the cat's hair

Like most phones, pictures will look brighter when the night scene mode is enabled. The pitch-black sky often turns grey or dark blue when the feature is on. In this mode, the app needs at least 4 seconds to process the visual. If you have shaky hands, better stick to normal mode, as the picture would look more realistic. Also, you won't get as much visual noise in normal mode.

However, the super night scene mode can still be useful. When shooting indoors in a low light environment, it helps you see objects and some details, such as words on a book. But if you have shaky hands, use a gimbal or smartphone holder for better results. Below are some sample photos we took at night.

In summary, as a light flagship phone, the realme X7 Pro delivers in many areas. It has an excellent design, useful 65W fast-charging, a 120Hz refresh rate AMOLED display, and more. It's definitely flagship-class but comes at an affordable price of RM1999, which makes it an attractive option for many. However, it does have some room for improvement.

Based on what's currently available in the same price bracket, the realme X7 Pro's competitors include the Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro (RM1999) and OPPO Reno 5 (RM1899). For better performance in mobile games, the Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro is the better choice, thanks to its Snapdragon 865 chipset and 144Hz display. But if you're into video recording, go for the OPPO Reno 5.

And that's our review of the realme X7 Pro. What do you think about it? If you want to see more reviews like this, please stay tuned to TechNave.com!

realme X7 series release: up to Dimensity 1000+, 120Hz display, & 65W fast charge starting from ~RM1091

Today, realme just unveiled yet another smartphone lineup - the realme X7 series in China. We have written plenty of realme X7 series rumours here and there and turns out that tech specs and specs aren't that far off. So without further ado, here's what you need to know about the new phones.

Right off the bat, the realme X7 and X7 Pro feature a Dimensity 800U and Dimensity 1000+ chipset with 5G connectivity.

realme and Maybank are teaming up for something that is cashless-related

These days, collaborations between companies are more diverse than before. Many of them are partnering up with other companies that have nothing similar at all. For instance, fashion brands can be teamed up with food manufacturers like what Supreme and Oreo did to bring us those expensive red-coloured Oreo cookies. Now, we have a new collaboration coming soon which appears to be a partnership between Maybank and realme.

Today, realme has posted a post announcing the collaboration with Maybank on its Facebook page. From the logos, realme is apprently going to utilize the cashless payment services from the bank like QR Pay and e-wallet. However, the smartphone manufacturer didn’t share much information regarding the content that the partnership is going to bring. We suspect that it’s going to bring us something like SamsungPay on the realme devices which have NFC connectivity, do take this with a pinch of salt as it’s just a guess!

The big reveal is going to happen on 19 March 2020. In the meantime, stay tuned to TechNave.com and share with us your thoughts about this collaboration on our Facebook page!


realme and Xiaomi have confirmed to use a newly launched 4G chipset from Qualcomm

Qualcomm has not given up on developing 4G chipsets yet, as the company has announced three new chipsets today and they are all non-5G compatible. Although 5G is making its way to our lives, it is still not that fast to be fully available in every corner of the world at the moment. Therefore, 4G smartphones will still continue hitting the market until its time has come to an end.

The new Snapdragon chipsets that have been announced are 720G, 662 and 460. All of them are designed for budget-friendly smartphones, but still offer fast 4G speeds, Wi-Fi 6 capability, and Bluetooth 5.1. What’s cool about these three chipsets is that they are the first chipsets to support the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) Navigation with Indian Constellation (NavIC) GPS system.

It’s time for the big reveal!#realme will be among the first smartphone brands to launch the @qualcomm_in Snapdragon 720G in the upcoming smartphones.More information on this coming soon! RT if excited pic.twitter.com/MWaHNCHFsT

Furthermore, two smartphone companies which are realme and Xiaomi have also revealed they will release new smartphones with the Snapdragon 720G chipset. For Xiaomi, the company is probably going to use the chipset for a new Mi 10 SE or a Mi 10 Lite.

Apple might be working on iPhone case that can charge the AirPods

Sadly, the latest Apple iPhone 12 series doesn't have the reverse wireless charging function despite equipped with a mechanism that supports it. Given that most users might also be using the other Apple accessories like the Apple Watch or AirPods these days, we think they would be glad if the iPhones can provide battery life to those mentioned products. With that said, the company has patented a few iPhone case designs with charging the AirPods as the central idea.

According to the patent titled "Case for Carrying and Charging Accessories” spotted by AppleInsider, the tech giant is working on a variety of iPhone cases that can charge the AirPods. One of the images shows that users can charge the AirPods by sticking the stems into a tube-like object placed on top of the case. It also looks like the case will also be able to display stuff like time and notifications.

If you've noticed, Apple has been focusing a lot on accessories nowadays. When introducing the iPhone 12 series, the company has also brought along a series of MagSafe products like phone cases and chargers. However, we're still going to remind you to take this news with a pinch of salt as not all patents are made into final products.

Let us know what you think about these iPhone cases on our Facebook page. Stay tuned to TechNave.com for more latest tech rumours.


realme announced that the Buds Q is another pair of TWS earbuds to be launched on 25 May

Now, it turns out that not just one true wireless earbuds will be launched on that day, but there will be two! The Chinese branch of realme has posted a teaser poster of the realme Buds Q on Weibo today, revealing another pair of true wireless earbuds waiting to be launched.

From the poster, the pair of earbuds kind of resembles the look of Galaxy Buds, unlike the Buds Air Neo that has an Apple AirPods-like design. The realme Buds Q is designed by a French artist named José Lévy. He made the earbuds a perfect fit for ears by adopting the design inspired by round pebbles.

Other than that, the account didn't share much information on the pair of earbuds. For us, it looks like it's going to have better tech specs compared to the Buds Air Neo. True or not, we could only wait until the exciting event to happen on 25 May, let's get prepared for the big surprise that realme is going to bring to us!
