Xiaomi presented the new Poco mid-range models earlier this week and they are already available and even with some discounts.
Starting with the Poco 120 Hz and 1,220 x 2,712 px resolution, plus 12-bit color and Dolby Vision. The camera is certainly less exceptional with a small 64 MP main sensor and an 8 MP ultra wide angle (118°). The 5,100mAh battery with 67W fast charging is still quite good. And you get stereo speakers plus a 3.5mm headphone jack.
There’s a lot of RAM and a lot of storage too, but it’s the old UFS 2.2 standard. The Poco We have a unit in the office, so expect a review soon – and our review of the Poco X6 is already out.
There is one more: The Poco M6 Pro was also presented on Thursday. It also has 12 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage for a slightly lower price than the X6. However, the price difference is too small: this is a 4G-only phone (Helio G99) and the 6.67” 120Hz AMOLED display does not have 12-bit quality and has a lower resolution (FHD+). There’s a microSD slot, but there’s little else that the X6 doesn’t have.
Google has committed to supporting the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro for 7 years, both with software updates and spare parts. And Google’s Pixel Feature Drops regularly add interesting features. However, Pixels are quite expensive in Europe.
You can also get a Pixel Watch 2 in Bluetooth or LTE versions. It has built-in ECG and Fitbit’s suite of fitness tracking features. Compared to the original Pixel Watch, this one has longer battery life thanks to the more efficient chipset.
Here is an interesting pair of TWS earphones: Huawei FreeClip. Instead of relying on a snug fit to stay in your ear, this around-the-ear clip makes them more stable and comfortable. And these are open-ear designs, so they don’t block sounds around you. Another quirky feature is that there is no left and right bud, they are exactly the same shape and you can use one and swap it for whichever ear you like. Keep in mind that they normally cost €200, but Amazon is throwing in a free Huawei Band 8.
For a more traditional TWS design, check out the Google Pixel Buds Pro. These are real babel fishes and can translate spoken language on the fly.
Anker’s new 20,000mAH power bank promises 200W of power, but that means 100W on both USB-C ports at the same time. There’s also a USB-A port that delivers up to 65W (even if one of the USB-C ports is in use). With all three ports in use, you get 100W + 60W + 40W.
