Upcoming Samsung Galaxy A04s Vs Galaxy A03s: Budget Android Phone Comparison

Samsung is all set to revamp its budget smartphone series with the launch of the Galaxy A04s. The upcoming handset will be an entry-level phone similar to its predecessor, i.e, the Galaxy A03s. Samsung had introduced the Galaxy A03s last year with a budget Helio P series processor, an HD+ display, and a massive 5,000 mAh battery. However, the Galaxy A04s is rumored to bring some noticeable changes compared to its predecessor.

The changes are not just going to be limited to just the hardware. We can confirm the latter as we have received the 5K renders of the Galaxy A04s via a noted industry source (@onleaks). Samsung might launch the Galaxy A04s in India alongside the global regions in the coming months. But what all upgrades would we get to see on the latest Galaxy A series phone? Would it be priced higher compared to its predecessor in India? Let’s find out:

Samsung Galaxy A04s Vs Galaxy A03s: Design Comparison

The Samsung Galaxy A04s will have a refreshed design compared to its predecessor, i.e, the Galaxy A03s. The 5K renders that we received showed a re-worked back panel which is now more appealing. The upcoming Galaxy A04s will wear a matte skin at the back with an all-new camera module. This time also Samsung has used a triple-lens setup on the Galaxy A04s.

However, all the cameras are positioned on the upper left corner separately instead of being packed inside a vertical or square-shaped module. This is one of the key design differences between both Galaxy A04s and Galaxy A03s. For reference, the Galaxy A03s has a vertical camera module on the top-left of the back panel.

Upfront, the Galaxy A04s will pack a tall display that will have a slim side and top bezel but a thick chin bezel. The notch isn’t changed compared to the Galaxy A03s. Both units sport a waterdrop style notch (Infinity V panel). The remaining design aspects of the Galaxy A03s and the Galaxy A04s remain unchanged.

Both handsets pack the power and the volume key on the right spine. Notably, the power key on both phones integrates a fingerprint scanner for security. The bottom panel on both Galaxy A03s and the Galaxy A04s has the USB Type-C port along with the speaker grille.

Samsung Galaxy A04s Vs Galaxy A03s: Display Specification Comparison

Our tipster has revealed the display specifications of the Galaxy A04s. The upcoming budget Galaxy A series phone will be packing a 6.5-inch display. The screen resolution and refresh rate details aren’t revealed just yet. However, we might see a standard 720P HD+ screen resolution along with a 60Hz refresh rate.  

The Galaxy A03s was also launched with a 6.5-inch HD+ display. The panel used is TFT with 720p HD+ resolution. It remains to be seen if Samsung uses an upgraded LCD panel on the Galaxy A04s uses the same TFT panel.

Samsung Galaxy A04s Vs Galaxy A03s: Other Key Specs Comparison

The Samsung Galaxy A04s is rather a newbie at the rumor mill. Its remaining hardware specifications such as camera and battery details are unannounced as of now. Samsung might change the chipset and the camera hardware on the new-generation budget Galaxy A phone. But the changes would be confirmed once more details on the hardware are available.  Nevertheless, the Galaxy A04s will also be an entry-level handset similar to its predecessor.

So we can expect a similar launch price as the Galaxy A03s in India. Speaking of which, the Galaxy A03s is now available for sale in India at around Rs. 10,998 via Amazon for the 3GB RAM and 32GB storage model and Rs. 11,599 for the 4GB RAM and 64GB storage model. This suggests the Galaxy A04s will be launched under Rs. 15,000 price bracket in India.

iQOO Z6 Pro 5G First Impressions: Makes The Cut?

iQOO has launched another new Z6 series phone in India. The iQOO Z6 Pro 5G has arrived as the brand’s newest premium mid-tier Android phone for the gaming audience in India. iQOO has launched three different variants of the Z6 Pro 5G in India including 6GB+ 128GB, 8GB+128GB, and 12GB+ 256GB priced at Rs. 23,999, Rs. 24,999, and Rs. 28,999 respectively.

Several smartphone OEMs including the major players such as Xiaomi, OnePlus, OPPO, and Vivo have introduced numerous handsets under Rs. 30,000 price bracket backed by 5G connectivity. With multiple options available in this price segment, does the iQOO Z6 Pro 5G adds to the crowd? Or does the latest iQOO Z series phone pack enough punch to crawl up the ladder? We at Giznext have managed to get out hands on the iQOO Z6 Pro 5G and in this article, we are doing the first impressions/ quick review of the latest iQOO gaming phone.

iQOO Z6 Pro 5G First Impressions: Display And Design Overview

iQOO has managed to keep a premium design language for its mid-tier and affordable phones. The iQOO Z6 Pro 5G with a subtle yet premium appeal makes for a good example of the same. The Z6 Pro 5G has a slim profile which along with the matte-gradient mix textured back panel feels premium to hold. iQOO has redesigned the camera module which adds to the overall appeal.

It is a big square module that houses two large camera rings with metallic layering. This protruding camera module is the x-factor in terms of design. It is worth mentioning that the iQOO Z6 Pro 5G comes in Phantom Dusk and Legion Sky shades. We have received the former for review.

The front panel isn’t entirely re-worked. The company has used a tiny punch-hole camera cutout at the center top for the selfie camera. Both volume and the power keys are placed on the right panel, while the left panel is kept barren. At the bottom, the iQOO Z6 Pro 5G has the hybrid SIM slot along with the USB Type-C port and the speaker grille. We had a decent experience with single-hand usability. Despite being a tall handset, operating the Z6 Pro 5G with one hand isn’t a big task.

As for the display, the iQOO Z6 Pro 5G features a 6.44-inch AMOLED panel. This time iQOO has selected an upgraded panel that helps with improved gaming visuals. The Z6 Pro 5G’s AMOLED display supports 1080 x 2404 pixels FHD+ resolution and 409 PPI pixel density. Upon using the Z6 Pro 5G’s panel for a fee days, we found it to be apt for high-resolution video playback. The display by default has a warmer color temperature.

So, it doesn’t strain your eyes despite being hooked to the screen for long. With a high 90Hz refresh rate, the Z6 Pro 5G’s panel delivers good gaming feedback as well. The sunlight legibility seems decent as of now. We will be testing the panel extensively and give you detailed feedback in the comprehensive review of the Z6 Pro 5G.

iQOO Z6 Pro 5G Quick Review: How’s The Hardware Performance?

While we are yet to test the iQOO Z6 Pro 5G’s power performance, our initial experience with different tasks has been good. The Z6 Pro 5G is a game-centric phone that is powered by the octa-core Snapdragon 778G processor under the hood. This premium mid-tier chipset by Qualcomm has been driving some other recent popular mid-range Android phones and is well known for its power delivery.

During our brief usage period, the iQOO Z6 5G kept lags and stutters at bay. We were able to open and use multiple tasks without any noticeable change in the performance. We have tested its performance with a handful of games such as Shadow Fight IV and Asphalt 9.

The Z6 Pro 5G’s gaming chipset with Adreno 642L GPU support did not let us down. We haven’t experienced any heat-up issues yet. But we will be testing the handset’s performance with extreme gaming going forward. As for the configurations, you can select the Z6 Pro 5G with up to 12GB RAM and 256GB storage. Our suggestion would be to go for the top-end model so that you get the maximum performance without any compromises on speed.

Lastly, the Galaxy A04s 5K renders show the USB Type-C port sandwiched between the 3.5mm headphone jack and the speaker grille at the bottom panel.

Samsung Galaxy A04s Specifications (Expected)

As per our source, Samsung will be packing the Galaxy A04s with a 6.5-inch display. The tipster has not confirmed the screen resolution and refresh rate that the Galaxy A04s’ display will offer. However, we expect the display to offer a standard 720p HD+ screen resolution and 60Hz refresh rate.

Unfortunately, we have not got the details related to the camera specifications (both selfie and the rear module). But we will share all the information once available. Just for reference, its predecessor, i.e, the Galaxy A03s shipped with a 13MP triple camera module. Whether or not Samsung upgrades the primary camera on the Galaxy A04s would be interesting to see.

Samsung is expected to upgrade the Galaxy A04s hardware compared to the previous-gen model. The chipset could be the primary difference. The Galaxy A03s was introduced with the MediaTek Helio P35 chipset. It remains to be seen if Samsung opts for an entry-level MediaTek chipset to power the latest Galaxy A series phone or opts for a Qualcomm or Unisoc series SoC.

If there is one similarity we expect both Galaxy A03s and the Galaxy A04s to feature is the battery capacity. Samsung might use the same beefy 5,000 mAh battery to power the Galaxy A04s. But we are not sure if it will be supported by any fast-charge technology or a regular 10W charging.

When To Expect Samsung Galaxy A04s Global, India Launch

The Samsung Galaxy A04s is still under development and might take a while to get off the production bay. But we can’t rule out the possibility of this budget handset breaking covers in India and the remaining global markets in the next few months.

We will be keeping an eye on future developments and will keep you posted with all the updates related to the Galaxy A04s specifications and the India launch timeline.

Mivi Conquer X, Thunderbeats 2 Wireless Neckband Full Review: Hit Or A Miss?

Mivi has established its name in the affordable digital accessories segment across India. The homegrown brand is rapidly expanding its audio product portfolio in the country with the launch of new speakers, wireless neckbands, and also soundbar. We recently covered the Mivi Octave 3 portable speaker review and now are sharing our feedback on two of Mivi’s recently launched wireless neckbands.

Mivi has introduced the ConquerX and Thunderbeats 2 wireless neckbands for the Indian audience. Both these neckbands have been announced for the budget audience in the country. Both Mivi ConquerX and the Thunderbeats 2 wireless neckband can be purchased at around Rs. 999 in the country via online retail stores. These latest budget neckbands by Mivi feature a basic design with hook-style earbuds. But is this wireless neckband suitable for daily usage or should you buy some other wireless neckband under Rs. 1500.

Pros and Cons

Pros:

  • Cheap price tag
  • Good battery backup
  • Hefty bass at budget price

Cons:

  • Dated microUSB port for charging
  • Bulky earbuds
  • Not comfortable for prolonged usage

Mivi Conquer X, Thunderbeats 2 Review: Design And Wearing Comfort

Mivi has launched the Conquer X and Thunderbearts 2 wireless earbuds with almost an identical design factor. Unlike most of the budget wireless neckbands where you get a thick neckband design, both Mivi Conquer X and Thunderbeats 2 feature a single wire design. It’s the control unit that is different on both neckbands. Even the earbuds are identical on both Mivi Conquer X and Thunderbeats 2 wireless neckband.

Both feature a large earbud with hook-style eartips for a snug fit design. Also, the earbuds offer a magnetic latch feature that saves them from accidentally falling off when not in use. The magnets aren’t super strong, but do a decent job in holding the earbuds together. It is worth mentioning that both new Mivi wireless neckband comes void of automatic power on/off or music play/pause feature with the magnetic latch. This is one of the useful options that is being offered by most of the affordable wireless neckbands in the market.

While both Conquer X and Thunderbeats 2 wireless neckbands offer a snug fit design with their hook-shaped ear tips, they are super comfortable to wear for a longer duration. The wearing comfort goes for a toss if you wear this pair for more than a few hours. Both Mivi Conquer X and Thunderbeats 2 come with IPX4 certification for dust and sweat resistivity.

Both wireless neckbands come with a bunch of physical keys for power on/off and volume adjustments. Using these control keys, you’ll also be able to answer calls and control music playback. The quality of the keys is not up to the mark. They are stiff to press and have an average built quality. Mivi has used the dated microUSB port on both Conquer X and Thunderbeats 2 wireless neckband. Only the Thunderbeats 2 ships with a supported data cable. However, you get an extra set of eartips with both Conquer X and Thunderbeats 2 wireless neckbands that you can use later if you lose the default pair.

Mivi Conquer X, Thunderbeats 2 Review: Audio Performance

Coming to the audio delivery, the Mivi Conquer X and the Thunderbeats 2 wireless neckband are equipped with a 6mm electro-dynamic drivers. Both neckbands come with HD Stereo sound support that helps with loud output. The bass offered by both Mivi wireless neckbands is on the hefty side. While the loud and heavy bass should have been in favor of the Mivi Conquer X and Thunderbeats 2, it somehow compromises the audio quality at the highest levels.

You will listen to the bass overpowering the remaining audio aspects such as treble and mids. Also, at the peak audio levels, the audio tends to muffle rather than maintain the clarity levels. Since both these Mivi wireless neckbands is entry-level devices, they come sans ANC (Active Noise Cancellation) feature. The audio leak issue is prevalent at peak volumes. Overall, the Mivi Conquer X and the Thunderbeats 2 are delivers loud audio with a hefty bass. Only if the audio clarity were on a higher level, then they would have made for the best pair under Rs. 1,000 in the country.  

Mivi Conquer X, Thunderbeats 2 Review: Battery Backup, Calling, Connectivity Experience

Both Mivi Conquer X and Thunderbeats 2 ship with Bluetooth v5.0 technology for wireless connectivity with smartphones and other compatible devices including tablets, laptops, and PCs. The connectivity range offered by both Mivi Conquer X and Thunderbeats 2 wireless neckbands is 10 meters. You won’t experience any issues with the connectivity or pairing.

Also, if the connected device is within the 10m range, you will experience no issues with audio playback. To pair the Mivi Conquer X and the Thunderbeats 2 earbuds with any smartphone or other compatible device, you’ll have to press and hold the power key until the LED blinks. Head to the settings menu on your smartphones and select the Mivi Conquer X or Thunderbeats 2 earbuds to complete the pairing process.

Coming to the battery backup, both Mivi Conquer X and Thunderbeats 2 wireless neckband are said to deliver a 14 hours backup on a single charge. That’s what the company claims. However, this battery backup is when the audio or music is being played at around 50 percent volume levels. The battery backup on both Mivi Conquer X and Thunderbeats 2 wireless neckband significantly drops when you increase the audio levels beyond 60 percent.

It is worth mentioning that both Mivi wireless neckband uses a standard microUSB port for charging. It takes more than an hour for both Mivi Conquer X and Thunderbeats 2 to get a full charge (from zero to 100 percent). You can use any standard Android charger to refuel the Mivi wireless neckbands.

Mivi Conquer X, Thunderbeats 2 Neckband Final Verdict: Worth Buying?

The Mivi Conquer X and Thunderbeats 2 wireless neckband have been targeted at entry-segment consumers in India. Both these neckbands are amongst the cheapest wireless earphones that you can buy in the country.

At an asking price of Rs. 999, you get a fully functional wireless audio wireless neckband that can be your occasional gaming or music companion, rather than being a daily driver. The wearing comfort isn’t super great and also the audio output is average; except for the bass which is on the hefty side and is the only impressive factor besides the powerful battery backup.
