Pixel 5 and Pixel 4A 5G Unveiled

October 2, 2020

Google has just announced two new smartphones under the Pixel line including their latest flagship smartphone — the Pixel 5. Weirdly, the company has opted for a Snapdragon 765G instead of the most powerful one, the Snapdragon 865 chipset for the Pixel 5 and then there’s the Pixel 4A that got a 5G treatment.

Pixel 5

The Pixel 5 is the next big thing from Google but weirdly enough, they’ve chosen to use the Snapdragon 765G Chipset this time which is used by more premium mid-range smartphones, and then there’s the 6″ Full HD+ OLED display. The highlight for this one is 5G and for the camera, it is still disappointing that we only have a 12MP dual-pixel main camera paired with 16MP ultrawide.

For security, there’s the fingerprint scanner at the back with the Titan M security chip which is weird since this is a more of a premium, smartphone and we still have this kind of feature instead of an in-display fingerprint scanner. For the memory, we got here an 8GB RAM and 128GB storage.

Thankfully, Google Pixel 5 won’t cost that much as this one is priced at $599.

Pixel 4a 5G

Then there’s Pixel 4a 5G which is the 5G variant of their budget smartphone that was announced a few months ago but this time, we’re getting here a larger 6.2-inch display, a faster Snapdragon 765G octa-core processor, and of course, it supports 5G. We still got here a headphone jack which is still present for budget to mid-range smartphones.

For the specs, we got here a 3885mAh battery, 6GB RAM, and 128GB internal storage. We also got here a 12MP dual-pixel main camera and 16MP ultrawide camera.

The Pixel 4a 5G will be available for $499 which is way more affordable.

ASUS RTX 2070 Dual Mini OC Review

News

On today’s review, we have the ASUS RTX 2070 Dual Mini OC. With the recent price drop of the RTX 20-series, we look at how effective it still is to use on versus buying the newly released RTX 30-series.

ASUS was able to take a powerful GPU and shrunk the PCB and cooling to make it fit smaller PC builds, and still retain the factory overclocking including the excellent cooling. This can even fir in an Intel NUC 9 Extreme Kit, Intel NUC 9 Pro-Kit, and other smaller chassis allowing great GPU performance in IXT platforms.

FANS

The ASUS RTX 2070 Mini OC has two axial tech fan design fans utilizing the ASUS Axial-technology. The Axial-tech fans has a smaller design for the fan hub allowing longer blades that increase the downward air pressure and still have a 0dB technology to shut off below 55c for more silent operation.

ASUS GPU Tweak II

ASUS allows adjusting power target and GPU voltage, fan speeds and profile curves with hardware monitoring using the ASUS GPU Tweak II. Despite the small form factor of the ASUS RTX 2070 Mini OC, it still provides the ability to tweak it and overclock it.

Gaming Benchmarks

The Horizon Zero Dawn which is optimized for AMD Radeon cards, the Sapphire RX 5700 XT Pulse 8GB shows a 12% rise of FPS versus ASUS’ RTX 2070 Mini OC Edition on the average FPS while on the minimum FPS, it was a close match.

Sapphire RX 5700XT Pulse 8GB Benchmarks JamOnline — Horizon Zero Dawn

Final Fantasy XV

With Final Fantasy XV, the ASUS GeForce RTX 2070 Mini OC Edition shows that it almost has no difference in performance compared to its AMD counterpart, the RX 5700 XT.

Metro: Last Light Redux

Metro: Last Light Redux shows a close to 1% performance advantage compared to the Sapphire RX 5700 XT Pulse 8Gb on both the average and minimum FPS.

Rise of the Tomb Raider

Rise of the Tomb Raider gives us an idea of what performance the ASUS GeForce RTX 2070 Mini OC Edition gives under heavy loads of rendering. At 1080P it shows great promise and performance beating the AMD RX 5700 XT.

3DMark Fire Strike measures performance on a DirectX 11 benchmark design. It details real-time graphics rendered.

Despite the form factor, the ASUS GeForce RTX 2070 Mini OC Edition still packs great power and performs close to the Sapphire RX5700 XT.

Conclusion.

Customization on NVIDIA and AMD based video cards have become unique and creative using PCBs, heatsink and cooling solutions, factory overclocks and adding necessary features that are uncommon to GPUs. These are normally the features that enthusiasts look for and is suited for specific purposes.

Finally, the ASUS GeForce RTX 2070 Mini OC Edition is still an optimal choice for the current games that are out in the market. For those planning to build a high-performance and compact gaming or working system, the ASUS GeForce RTX 2070 is still a go-to choice.

Though one of the downsides of the video card is that it does not have a backplate and the temperatures may rise quite a bit. All-in-all, the ASUS GeForce RTX 2070 Mini OC Edition is still a good choice for those who want to have an affordable yet powerful PC Build.
