Qualcomm announces the Snapdragon 732G and confirms it’s coming to a POCO phone

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 730 and 730G were announced back in April 2019. Since then, the two SoCs have been featured in a number of key mid-range devices, including the Mi Note 10 Lite, POCO X2, Realme X2, Motorola One Fusion+, and the Google Pixel 4a. Most of these devices target the comfortable mid-range segment, or in some cases, the more premium mid-range offerings. Qualcomm is now refreshing the Snapdragon 730G SoC with a newer Snapdragon 732G SoC, promising even better performance.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 732G brings two key improvements over the Snapdragon 730G: a Prime core with higher clock speed (2.3GHz versus 2.2GHz) and a 15% improvement in the Adreno 618 GPU. Everything else remains the same as the Snapdragon 730G, which itself was a smaller gaming-centric improvement over the Snapdragon 730. Consequently, the Snapdragon 732G features 1x Kryo 470 “Prime” core clocked at up to 2.3GHz, 1x Kryo 470 “Performance” core clocked at up to 2.2GHz, and 6x Kryo 470 “Efficiency” cores clocked at up to 1.8GHz. The microarchitecture of the Prime and Performance cores are based on ARM’s Cortex-A76 design while the microarchitecture of the 6 Efficiency cores is based on ARM’s Cortex-A55 design. The SoC is fabricated on Samsung’s 8nm LPP process.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 732G also continues to feature several Snapdragon Elite Gaming features, just like the Snapdragon 730G. These features include Qualcomm Game Jank Reducer, Vulkan 1.1 Graphics Driver, True HDR, and anti-cheat extensions. There’s also the Spectra 350 Image Signal Processor with support for 4K HDR video capture, the 4th generation Qualcomm AI Engine with up to 3.6 TOPS, the Hexagon 688 DSP, Qualcomm Quick Charge 4+ support, the Snapdragon X15 LTE Modem with support for 3-CA and 4×4 MIMO on two carriers, support for the Qualcomm FastConnect 6200 subsystem, and support for Qualcomm’s Aqstic audio codec, among other features.

The Motorola One 5G is coming to the U.S. on AT&T and Verizon for under-$500

Motorola burst back into the flagship scene earlier this year with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865-powered, 5G-enabled Motorola Edge+. Alongside the Edge+, Motorola also unveiled the slightly cheaper Edge with the upper mid-range (but still 5G-enabled) Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G. And about a month ago, Motorola had announced an even more affordable 5G-enabled smartphone in the form of the Moto G 5G Plus. Now, Motorola is bringing over this smartphone to the USA in the form of the Motorola One 5G.

Motorola One 5G: Specifications

Specification	Motorola Moto G 5G Plus / Motorola One 5G
Dimensions & Weight	168 x 74 x 9 mm 207g
Display	6.7″ FHD+ LTPS LCD 21:9 aspect ratio, 2520 x 1080 90Hz refresh rate HDR10 Dual hole-punch display

Battery & Charging	5000 mAh battery 20W TurboPower charging
Fingerprint sensor	Side-mounted fingerprint sensor
Rear Camera	Primary: 48MP, f/1.7 Secondary: 8MP, wide-angle, f/2.2 Tertiary: 5MP, macro, f/2.2 Quarternary: 2MP, depth, f/2.2

Android Version	Android 10

The Motorola One 5G is a rebranded Moto G 5G Plus, but we’re okay with the rebranding because that was a terrible name in the first place. One of the highlights of this device is its 21:9 aspect ratio display. Motorola mentions that 87% of its users preferred a 21:9 aspect ratio, so that is what it adopted on this smartphone. You do get a 90Hz refresh rate, though the panel is LCD — but since this phone is not aiming to be a flagship, this specification isn’t judged as harshly. The smartphone itself has a humble design made largely out of polycarbonate, so most of the 207g weight is coming from the beefy 5,000 mAh battery.

Moto G 5G Plus / Motorola One 5G XDA Forums

On the inside, you get a Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G, which should help keep things running smoothly despite not being an 8-series flagship SoC.

The Motorola One 5G comes with Android 10 out of the box. The OS is largely left unadulterated, but you get a few Motorola touches like the “chop to launch flashlight” feature and the Moto Power Touch feature that lets you reassign the double-power-button press. The power button also integrates the fingerprint sensor.

Motorola is only committing to one year of Android OS updates and two years of security updates at this moment.

Pricing and Availability

The Motorola One 5G will be a sub-$500 device in the USA and will be available through AT&T (sub-6GHz) and Verizon (with mmWave) in 4GB + 128GB configuration. Motorola has not shared the exact date of availability and pricing yet, and we also presume that the mmWave variant will cost some more. There will not be any unlocked versions of this phone in the USA. It remains to be seen how this phone stacks up against cheaper devices like the recent Google Pixel 4a.

Realme X2 Pro and X3/X3 SuperZoom get new Realme UI updates with August 2020 patches, Super Power Saving Mode, and more

Realme jumped into the league of affordable high-end phones by launching the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 Plus-powered Realme X2 Pro (our review) back in 2019. The Chinese OEM reused the same SoC while designing this year’s Realme X3 series, which turned out to be an effective decision to keep the price low without sacrificing the raw horsepower. The Realme X2 Pro was launched with ColorOS 6.1 based on Android 9 Pie, while it received its Android 10/Realme UI update a few months ago and is scheduled to get an “Early Access” build of Android 11 in the coming days. The Realme X3/X3 SuperZoom, on the other hand, run on Android 10-based Realme UI out of the box. All of these three smartphones have recently received new Realme UI updates with tons of new software features and optimizations.

XDA Forums: Realme X2 Pro || Realme X3 || Realme X3 SuperZoom

The version number of Realme X2 Pro’s new OTA is RMX1931EX_11.C.31. FYI, both the Realme X3 and the Realme X3 SuperZoom share a common codebase, thus they have picked up a unified firmware with the build number RMX2081PU_11.A.41. There are a few notable changes in these updates: First, Realme has finally brought in the August 2020 Android security patches to these phones through the new builds of Realme UI. Next, the company has added support for auto-scrolling screenshot, “Multi-user feature”, and “Super Power Saving Mode” – the last two can be accessed from the Settings app. The experimental “Smooth Scrolling” feature has also made its way to the Realme X2 Pro through the new build.

Realme is known for its staged rollout model. The company prefers to push the updates randomly to a limited number of users and switch to a broader rollout a few days later to avoid the spread of showstopper bugs. Nevertheless, you can download the sideload-friendly full firmware package (in OZIP format) corresponding to the aforementioned builds from the index below and flash them right away.

Realme X2 Pro and X3/X3 SuperZoom get new Realme UI updates with August 2020 patches, Super Power Saving Mode, and more

Realme jumped into the league of affordable high-end phones by launching the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 Plus-powered Realme X2 Pro (our review) back in 2019. The Chinese OEM reused the same SoC while designing this year’s Realme X3 series, which turned out to be an effective decision to keep the price low without sacrificing the raw horsepower. The Realme X2 Pro was launched with ColorOS 6.1 based on Android 9 Pie, while it received its Android 10/Realme UI update a few months ago and is scheduled to get an “Early Access” build of Android 11 in the coming days. The Realme X3/X3 SuperZoom, on the other hand, run on Android 10-based Realme UI out of the box. All of these three smartphones have recently received new Realme UI updates with tons of new software features and optimizations.

The version number of Realme X2 Pro’s new OTA is RMX1931EX_11.C.31. FYI, both the Realme X3 and the Realme X3 SuperZoom share a common codebase, thus they have picked up a unified firmware with the build number RMX2081PU_11.A.41. There are a few notable changes in these updates: First, Realme has finally brought in the August 2020 Android security patches to these phones through the new builds of Realme UI. Next, the company has added support for auto-scrolling screenshot, “Multi-user feature”, and “Super Power Saving Mode” – the last two can be accessed from the Settings app. The experimental “Smooth Scrolling” feature has also made its way to the Realme X2 Pro through the new build.

Samsung Galaxy M51 with massive 7,000 mAh battery quietly launched in Europe

Samsung has quietly launched the long-rumored Galaxy M51 in Germany. As a brand new entry in Samsung’s popular Galaxy M series, the Galaxy M51 exists as a higher-placed alternative to the Galaxy M31s, which was launched earlier in July. The Galaxy M51 brings along several notable improvements, including a behemoth battery, a (possible) switch over to a Snapdragon processor, and a slightly bigger display.

Samsung Galaxy M51 XDA Forums

Samsung Galaxy M51: Specifications

Specification	Samsung Galaxy M51
Dimensions & Weight	<information not available>
Display	6.7-inch (16.95cm) Super AMOLED Centered hole-punch Full HD+
SoC	Octa-core processor
RAM & Storage	6GB RAM + 128GB storage
Battery & Charging	7,000 mAh battery 25W fast charging 25W fast charger inside the box
Fingerprint sensor	Side-mounted fingerprint sensor
Rear Camera	Primary: 64MP, f/1.8 Secondary: 12MP ultra-wide, f/2.2 Tertiary: 5MP depth sensor Quarternary: 5MP macro sesnsor
Front Camera	32MP
Android Version	Android 10 with One UI 2.1

The Samsung Galaxy M51 sports a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display with a centered hole-punch and full HD+ resolution. Although Samsung’s official listing doesn’t make it clear which processor the phone is using, it’s likely powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 730 SoC, as previously rumored.

The phone offers 6GB of RAM and 128GB of UFS 2.1 storage with support for SD card expansion. In terms of optics, the Galaxy M51 continues to use the same setup as the Galaxy M31s, packing a 64MP primary camera, a 12MP ultra-wide camera, a 5MP depth sensor, and a 5MP macro lens. Even the 32MP selfie camera appears to be unchanged.

The insane 7,000 mAh battery is what gives the Galaxy M51 its headline. The 6000 mAh battery fitted on previous Galaxy M series phones was the largest in its segment. And the fact that Samsung managed to beef up the capacity even further is nothing short of brilliant. Samsung also includes a 25W fast charger inside the box, the same one that comes with the Galaxy M31s and some of Samsung’s flagships.

On the software front, the Galaxy M51 comes running One UI 2.1 based on Android 10. Other specs of the phone include a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, a USB Type C port, a single bottom-firing speaker, a 3.5mm audio jack, and Bluetooth 5.

Available in Black and White colors, the Galaxy M51 is priced at €360 ($429) and can be pre-ordered through Samsung’s German website. The preorders will start shipping out starting September 11. Samsung hasn’t yet detailed when it will bring the device to other markets such as India, but we hope to see it launch in the country.
