vivo V19 Neo vs. realme 6 Specs Comparison

0

Both the realme 6 and the vivo V19 Neo are the newest mid-range smartphones in the country and both have their own strengths but today, we’re comparing the vivo V19 Neo and the realme 6. The vivo V19 Neo boasts a quad-camera setup and of course, there’s the 32MP selfie camera while the realme 6 boasts a powerful MediaTek Helio G90T processor and also a 90Hz display.

By just looking at the specifications, the realme 6 has a upper hand when it comes to processing power as we got here a more powerful Helio G90T chipset from MediaTek while vivo V19 Neo is still using the same Snapdragon 675 chipset which was used by the Vivo V15 Pro.

For the display, the realme 6 got a larger 6.5-inch Full HD+ IPS display while the vivo V19 Neo features a 6.44-inch Super AMOLED display. Some might prefer the Super AMOLED display due to the colors but the 90Hz display of the realme 6 is just unbeatable especially for its price as realme is the only one offering this kind of display.

The realme 6 also comes in more flexible storage as we got here a 4GB/128GB and 8GB/128GB variant while the vivo V19 Neo comes in a single variant — 8GB/128GB. For the fingerprint scanner, the realme 6 uses a side-mounted fingerprint scanner while the vivo V19 Neo features an in-display fingerprint scanner.

Clearly, the realme 6 got a upper hand when it comes to camera as we got here a better sensor along with a higher megapixel.

For the battery, the vivo V19 Neo got a little advantage with a 4500mAh battery while the realme 6 got a 4300mAh battery but the realme 6 got a way faster with 30W Dart Charge while the vivo V19 Neo relies on 18W Dual-engine Fast Charging.

Apple will ditch Intel Processors on the Macs for their own silicon

0

After years of rumors, Apple will be switching to its own silicon for its processors in the future for its Mac devices replacing the current Intel processors that are running on all Intel Mac devices. Apple will use their own silicon instead for their devices which means that future Mac devices will run the same family of processors that are available on your iPad and iPhones.

The demo of the macOS Big Sur was fully run by Apple A12Z Bionic chipset which is the same chipset that can be found on the iPad Pro 2020. So what does the change to their own chipset mean for Mac devices? Basically, they’ll be able to optimize their own hardware for the Macs and they’ll not follow the cycle of Intel processors anymore.

But you might ask, how about the applications? Well, Apple has shown off Final Cut Pro X, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Lightroom, and even Microsoft Office applications that are running on the Mac on A12z processor. It was seamless and smooth based on the demo but of course, not all apps would run really well on the ARM processors so Apple made something for that one.

They’ve also unveiled Rosetta 2 in where it will be able to run x86 apps on the Macs that will run on ARM and virtualization. The best part about Mac running on ARM processors is you’ll be able to run iPhone and iPad apps natively on these Macs because developers will not have to port their apps anymore for ARM Macs and instead, their apps will be available on the Mac App Store immediately.

When it comes to gaming, Apple has also shown a demo of Shadow of the Tomb Raider running on the Mac on A12z chipset which means that the same processor on the iPad Pro 2020 is pretty powerful as it can run these AAA games.

The first Mac system to run on ARM processor is expected to launch by end of the year but there’s no word on what device it will be. My guess? it will be the MacBook Air. And if you have the latest Intel Macbooks, don’t worry because they’ll still run well and according to Apple, they’ll still launch new systems with Intel processors for some time.

For developers, there will be also a development kit that is based on the Mac Mini and it will run on A12z chipset.
