202102bb

Yesterday we published an article about TOP 5 flagship smartphones for January 2021. If you look at the list, it only includes smartphones with 5nm chips. As of last year, 7nm processes were the top devices on the market. However, in 2021, 7nm phones are now mid-range or pseudo-flagships at best.

Псевдо-флагманські смартфони – це пристрої, які на самому деле не є флагманами, але занадто велики для відношення до категорій середнього рівня. На даний момент 5-нм чипи є первокласними флагманами. Розглянемо їх.

I live S7t

Earlier today, Vivo launched what we can consider a powerful mid-range phone, the Vivo S7t. This smartphone is similar to the Vivo S7, but it has a different processor. The Vivo S7t comes with Mediatek's Dimensity 820 chip, one of the most powerful chips for a mid-range smartphone.

У цьому смартфоні також використовується 6,44-дюймовий AMOLED-екран з невеликою виїмкою, на якій розміщені дві фронтальні камери. У доповненні до Dimensity 820 SoC це пристрій оснащено 8 ГБ оперативної пам’яті та 128 ГБ вбудованої пам’яті. Це досить вражає для пристроїв середнього рівня.

As for the camera, this phone uses a triple rear camera. It has a 64-megapixel primary camera, along with an 8-megapixel ultra-wide camera and a 2-megapixel depth sensor. On the front, there's a dual-camera setup like we've seen before. On the front, there are regular 44 MP and 8 MP ultra-wide cameras. Of course, with technical support, Vivo has proven its mastery in the field of selfies.

Under the hood, this smartphone packs a 4000mAh battery to keep the lights on. This battery also supports 33W charging. For mid-level devices, there is nothing wrong with such a configuration. On the software front, the Vivo S7t comes with OriginOS on top of Android 11.

Well, this is a mid-range smartphone and we don't expect it to be too expensive. According to the company, the Vivo S7t hit the shelves at a price of RMB 2598, which is around $400 / €335. Interestingly, despite the more powerful chip, the Vivo S7t is sold at the same price as the regular Vivo S7.

I have always been interested in IT technologies. And since my previous many years of professional activity (which is design and pre-press preparation) is not possible without their help, it so happened that everything that was related to computers (for example, collecting and modernizing "hardware", as well as configuring software ) I always had to do it myself.

Well, with the advent of gadgets in our lives, the scope of my interests expanded to include them as well.

I like to study and analyze the capabilities of various devices, and for many years, before buying anything new, I always study the capabilities of each potential model for a long time and carefully, spend quite a long and painstaking work, read reviews, reviews and comparisons.

The reward for my time is usually that most of the time I really do get the best of what I can get within my budget.
