OnePlus, 6T, Samsung, Galaxy A9 — The Galaxy A9 sports a quad camera set up while the 6T only sports dual rear camera.

Samsung is best known for introducing the new features to their smartphones well before anyone. The recently launched Samsung smartphones, the Galaxy A9 (2018) brings quadruple rear camera set up at the back. On the other end, OnePlus is known to bring out flagship devices with mid-range prices that make it one of the best selling smartphones in the market. The latest by OnePlus, the 6T and the Galaxy A9 (2019) cost Rs 37,999 and Rs 33,990 respectively. So it would be confusing which one to buy. Here is an in-depth comparison for you to make the right decision.

Design

The Samsung Galaxy A9 sports a 6.3-inch 18.5:9 aspect ratio display while the OnePlus 6T sports a 6.41-inch 19.5:9 aspect ratio display with a Notch. Both the devices sport a Super AMOLED Panel. The similarities in the design end there. The OnePlus 6T sports a raindrop notched display and a thin chin, while the A9 takes a more traditional approach with the no notch and quite a hefty chin at the bottom. The rear is made out of the glass with A9 sporting a fingerprint sensor a the back along with the quad camera setup. The 6T has an in-display fingerprint sensor and only a dual camera set up at the back.

Overall, design-wise both the smartphones are completely different. While the OnePlus went for a more modern design with Raindrop notch and a minimalist look, Samsung went for more of a traditional look along with a fancy paint job on the back if you want that. One thing to mention with the displays is that the panel on the 6T is inherently less bright than the panel on the A9. Also, the A9 sports a 3.5mm headphone jack which the 6T misses out on.

Software

The Samsung Galaxy A9 runs on Android 8.0 Oreo with Samsung Experience 9.0 skin on the top with Android Pie arriving somewhere in the second quarter of 2019 while the OnePlus 6T runs on Android 9.0 Pie with Oxygen OS 9.0.11 on the top.

Samsung Experience UI 9.0

OxygenOS is quite close to stock Android

OnePlus offers a cleaner and optimized version of Android with some minute modifications that add great value to the user while the Samsung goes for a complete custom experience with completely changed UI. Which software is better is completely a personal preference, but due to fewer customizations to Android and background services in the Oxygen OS will make it a better OS when it comes to performance while the Samsung Experience offers features that make life much easier. I personally would prefer the Oxygen OS but your mileage may vary.

Performance

Performance is the major concern for any smartphone. The Galaxy A9 is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 processor coupled with an Adreno 512 and 6/8GB of RAM. Our unit comes with 6GB RAM and 128GB of internal storage. The OnePlus 6T is powered by a Snapdragon 845 processor coupled with an Adreno 630 and 6/8GB of RAM. Our unit comes with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage. As the processor on the OnePlus 6T is far better than the A9, we know who will take the lead here. Also, the difference in the RAM will affect the scores but not that much.

We ran out usual AnTuTu 7 benchmark and GeekBench 4 benchmarks to test out the performance.

Galaxy A9 (2018)

OnePlus 6T

The results show us that the OnePlus 6T pulls ahead absolutely destroys the Galaxy A9. This is due to the A9 sporting a mid-range processor while the 6T sporting a flagship processor.

Camera

The camera is something people care about these days. Samsung was clearly aiming at making great camera phone with these by including a quad rear setup. The Galaxy A9 sports a 24-megapixel, f/1.7 aperture main sensor with PDAF, 8-megapixel, f/2.2 aperture depth sensor along with a 10-megapixel 2x Zoom sensor. For selfies, it packs a 24-megapixel sensor with an f/2.0 aperture. The OnePlus 6T features a 16-megapixel primary sensor with an f/1.7 aperture and a 20-megapixel 2x Zoom sensor with an f/1.7 aperture. On the front, there is a 16-megapixel selfie shooter.

1 of 3

The rear camera of the Galaxy A9 offers much more functionality like the wide angle lens which the 6T simply cannot due to lack of hardware. With the things both the smartphone can do, the bokeh mode of the 6T is more subtle than the A9 and the details on the Galaxy A9 are better than the 6T. Overall, the rear camera performance of the A9 is better than the 6T.

The story is a little different on the front. The front camera of the Galaxy A9 provides a more brightened image. The OnePlus 6T offers more of natural colors in its photos which is appreciated. Some people like the brightened image, so the front cameras are neck to neck.

Overall, the camera performance of the Galaxy A9 is better than the OnePlus 6T, with the features like the wide angle lens being specially usefull. The addition of a depth sensor also helps take more detailed photos. However, OnePlus 6T also is not that bad in comparision.

Battery

The Galaxy A9 sports a 3,800mAh battery while the OnePlus 6T sports an almost similar 3,700mAh battery. In our daily usage, the battery life of both the smartphone was almost equal. The Dash charging provided a quick juice to go, but also the A9 has Samsung's adaptive quick charge which provides good enough charging times too. In the battery department, both the phones are neck and neck.

Conclusion

The Samsung Galaxy A7 starts at Rs 33,990 while the OnePlus 6T starts at Rs 37,999. The Galaxy A9 sports a better camera set up along with a no notch on the display along with the retention of the headphone jack. However, with the performance improvement that the OnePlus 6T offers, it is really hard to recommend the Galaxy A9 unless you absolutely have to have the wide angle lens or a Samsung device.

Asus Zenbook UX333 first impressions: Design

Asus Zenbook series has always focused on thin and light form factor with great performance aiming at portability than anything else. The new Zenbook series of laptops weigh in at 1.19kg for the base model which is lighter than even the new MacBook Air. The 13-inch variant is smaller than a piece of A4 paper which makes the laptop extremely portable. The company was able to achieve this by thinning the bezels as much as possible. This led them to achieve a 95-percent screen to body ratio along with such a small form factor.

The laptop comes packaged in a metal body with concentric circles edged on the lid to give the laptop a unique look. The feel of the laptop is as good as it looks. The laptop also sports a hinge design that raises the body of the laptop by 3-degree when the lid is up. This makes long duration usage much comfortable in hand.

Asus Zenbook UX333 first impressions: Conclusion

Considering the price and specifications of the Zenbook UX333 laptops, the laptop is a bit expensive. Considering the weight of only 1.19kg and form factor smaller than the rest, I still think that the laptop is a bit expensive. However, the form factor of the laptop is unmatched in the market.

Honor has finally launched the much-awaited Honor View 20 in India at an event in Gurugram. The Chinese smartphone manufacturer has introduced the flagship to compete against the likes of OnePlus 6T. Priced at Rs. 37,999, the View 20 offers a lot more than the competition. Here are our first impressions.

Honor View 20 Specifications

Honor View 20 features a 6.4-inch IPS LCD display with a hole punch design. It is powered by the HiSilicon Kirin 980 processor paired with Mali-G76 MP10 GPU. The dual-SIM handset packs in 6GB of RAM or 8GB of RAM coupled with 128GB or 256GB of onboard storage. Under the hood, there is a 4,000mAh battery which supports Super Charge technology.

As for the optics, the Honor View 20 sports a 48-megapixel camera at the back with f/1.8 aperture. The phone also has a TOF 3D camera sensor at the back. Up front, there is a 25-megapixel selfie snapper with f/2.0 aperture.

Honor View 20 First Impressions

Honor View 20 looks quite different from most flagship smartphones out there. It is one of the first smartphones to sports a hole punch design up front. Such design helps in getting rid of any sort of notch. It does take some portion of the screen but once a user gets hold of it, selfie camera is not going to bother much.

Honor View 20 2 — The V pattern on the back looks quite unique

The View 20 not only from the front, but looks quite different from the back as well. It comes with a V-shape design at the back, which in my opinion looks stunning. The V-design changes shift according to the light reflections thrown on the back.

In the short time we had with the device, we were just mesmerised with its looks. Most of the things advertised by Honor like the 48-megapixel camera, Super Charge, 7nm chipset and more have to be tested out in the real world. We will extensively test out these features in our full review later.

Apart from the View 20, Honor also launched a new smartwatch and a fitness band in India. The Honor Watch Magic is launched in two colour variants, Lava Black and Moonlight Silver, which are priced at Rs. 13,999 and Rs. 14,999 respectively. While the Lava Black gives a more sportier look, the Moonlight Silver variant gives a classic look.

Honor has finally launched the much-anticipated Honor View 20 smartphone in India. The phone comes with tons of exciting features including the hole punch display and the 48-megapixel camera at the back. With a starting price tag of Rs. 37,999, the phone will be available exclusively via Amazon. Here are the top 5 reasons why you should consider buying it right away.

48-megapixel Camera

honor, honor view 20 — Honor View 20 sports a 48-megapixel camera at the back

One of the highlighting features of the Honor View 20 is its 48-megapixel camera at the back. The advantage of having such a sensor is that it can carry more details in good lighting conditions. The more amount of details makes it easier for users to edit the photographs later. You can even cap the resolution to 12-megapixel in the camera settings if you are willing to save some storage.

Super Charge

Huawei introduced the Super Charge technology back in 2018 with their flagship Huawei P20 Pro. Honor has brought in the same technology to their latest flagship, the Honor View 20. The charger delivers an output of 5V at 4.5A, essentially delivering 22.5 Watts of power. The company claims that the phone can charge up to 55 percent in less than 30 minutes.

Hole-Punch Display

honor, Honor View 20 6 — This is one of the first smartphones to feature a hole punch design

Honor View 20 is one of the first smartphones to come with a Hole Punch display. The new style eliminates the need for a notch. It might look weird to a few people initially but once you get hold of it, it feels better than at least a huge notch on something like the Google Pixel 3 XL and Apple iPhone XS.

GPU Turbo 2.0

Just like other latest Honor smartphones, the Honor View 20 also comes with GPU Turbo 2.0. The GPU Turbo helps in bumping up the performance of the smartphone while gaming. It accelerates the CPU and GPU in order to eliminate any sort of lag in any game thrown at it. It even has a liquid cooling system to keep things cool inside.

Magic UI 2.0

Unlike the regular EMUI found on other Honor and Huawei smartphones, the Honor View 20 comes with something called Magic UI 2.0. The UI is based on Google's latest Android 9 Pie operating system. It was first released with the Honor Magic 2 and comes with tons of extra features. The UI also has a few AI based features injected into it.

Coming to the camera specifications, the Alcatel Onyx sports a dual camera setup on the back consisting of a 13-megapixel primary sensor paired with a 2-megapixel secondary sensor. On the front, it features a 5-megapixel sensor for taking selfies.

All the specifications considered, Alcatel's Onyx seems to be a dud priced at a much higher point than it actually deserves to be at. We recommend that you purchase any other device from brands like Xiaomi, Motorola, Nokia and other manufacturers instead of purchasing this.
