Samsung has unveiled the company’s first consumer PCIe 4.0 NVMe solid-state drive (SSD) – the Samsung SSD 980 PRO for professionals and consumers who want cutting-edge performance in their high-end PCs, workstations, and game consoles.
“Over the years, Samsung has continuously challenged the limits of high-speed flash memory storage solutions. The new 980 PRO SSD reflects our continuing commitment to delivering exceptional products consumers have come to expect from Samsung,” said Mike Mang, vice president of Memory Brand Product Biz at Samsung Electronics.
According to Samsung, The 980 PRO is ideal for consumers and professionals who work with 4K and 8K contents and play graphics-heavy games as it has been optimized for handling data-intensive applications.
All the key components, including the custom Elpis controller, V-NAND and DRAM, are completely designed in-house to deliver the full potential of PCIe 4.0. This allows the 980 PRO to provide sequential read and write speeds of up to 7,000 MB/s and 5,000 MB/s respectively, as well as random read and write speeds of up to 1,000K IOPS, making it up to two times faster than PCIe 3.0 SSDs and up to 12.7 times faster than SATA SSDs.
Apart from performance, Samsung 980 PRO comes with outstanding thermal control solutions for improved reliability. While most of today’s high-performance NVMe SSDs rely on external copper heatsinks to diffuse heat, Samsung’s 980 PRO employs a nickel coating on the controller as well as a heat spreader label on the back side of the SSD for efficient thermal management. These innovative heat-dissipating functions also allow the drive to maintain its compact and slim M.2 form factor.
Besides this, Samsung’s Dynamic Thermal Guard technology further ensures that the drive’s temperature stays at the optimal level, minimizing performance fluctuations over the long haul.
It is worth noting that the Samsung SSD 980 PRO comes in 1TB, 500GB and 250GB models, and will be available worldwide starting this month, while the 2TB capacity model will be available by the end of this year. The 980 PRO’s manufacturer’s suggested retail prices start at $89.99 for the 250GB model.

As per the leaked pricing, the smartphone will cost cheaper than the flagship OnePlus 8. This listed pricing contradicts another leak from the Vietnamese tipster @chunvn8888. As per the tipster, the phone will be offered with a price tag of EUR 899 (approx Rs 78,000) for the 12GB RAM with 256GB storage option in the European market which is costlier than the what recent leak by Ishan.

Xiaomi has been coming up with new smartphones in India at a regular pace. Recently it introduced Redmi 9 Prime in the country, which is the latest entrant in the 9 series. The device comes in the budget segment starting at Rs 9,999 that includes all the latest features including MediaTek Helio G80 SoC, quad rear camera setup and a 5,020mAh battery with 18W Quick Charge 3.0. Today we are here with Redmi 9 Prime review to help you know what it offers and should you pick it up?
In This Article
Design and Display
Considering the price, the design of the phone looks and feels pretty good. The retail box includes some paperwork, a silicon cover, a USB charging cord and a 10W charging adapter (no the fast charger is not part of the pack). Unlike the Redmi Note 9, this mobile phone is not as glossy, rather this one has a matte finish texture on its rear panel, therefore, preventing smudges as well as fingerprints. Redmi 9 Prime is a little wider than other Xiaomi smartphones. Nevertheless, we didn’t mind the wider outlook.
We loved the colour we got for review. We received the Space Blue colour and it looks ravishing. If you are not a blue person, then you will be glad that it comes in more colour options that include Mint Green, Matte Black and Sunrise Flare. We also liked the camera arrangements on the Redmi 9 Prime. It shares a resemblance with the last years Redmi Note 8 Pro that also had a pill-shaped camera module. Though this one is slightly raised from the body, which reminds us of the Poco X2. Just below the camera, there is a fingerprint sensor that we found to be quick and accurate than other Xiaomi phones till now. The placement of the sensor is perfect but it would not be for those of you who have long fingers, as most of the time your finger will reach the camera sensor when trying to unlock the smartphone. It gets a bit of getting used to, so a couple of days with the smartphone and you will be fine.
On the top edge, the Redmi 9 Prime has an IR Blaster, while the bottom you get a USB-Type C port for charging along with a headphone jack and a single firing speaker. The power and volume buttons have been placed on the right.
Moving ahead this phone also has a Full-HD+ display. At this price range, you rarely get to see an FHD display let alone FHD+. Redmi 9 Prime has a 6.53-inch full-HD+ with 1,080×2,340 pixels of resolution. The display has a 19.5:9 aspect ratio, 394ppi pixel density, 400nits of brightness and is protected with a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass 3. The colours are vibrant with adequate contrast colours. We would like to mention that the display also has really good sharpness. The brightness is good for outdoor usage, but alfresco you would wish for more illumination. And yes, except for the notch the front panel of the smartphone looks pretty similar to the expensive Redmi Note 9 series. All in all, this is one of the best display we have seen in a smartphone in the sub-10K segment.
Performance and Camera
This smartphone is powered by MediaTek Helio G80 SoC, which is an octa-core processor with two Cortex-A75 cores clocking at 2GHz and six Cortex-A55 cores clocking at 1.8GHz. Redmi 9 Prime comes in two different configurations — 4GB RAM with 64GB storage and 4GB RAM with 128GB storage. The unit which we are reviewing is the 128GB storage model, which is priced at Rs 11,999 while the base variant starts at Rs 9,999.
If you are an average user who only needs the phone that can perform daily tasks such as for calling purposes, web browsing, for off-the-cuff gaming, to check social media such as Facebook, Instagram and more as well as photography (in a budget) then Redmi 9 Prime perfectly dawns all your requirements. Even while multitasking we did not come across any lag. Switching between the apps at frequent intervals did not drop the performance, as during the test we kept plenty of apps open to know if there are any real chinks in its armour.
Considering the price, the company has provided a good gaming-focused processor and while we played Call of Duty: Mobile on high graphics setting there were no hindrances, which is delightful while keeping the price under check. Though it does get warm, that is acceptable here.
Software-wise, the Redmi 9 Prime runs MIUI 11 on top of Android 10 and the user experience is similar to what we get on most of the Xiaomi devices. It comes with a few pre-installed apps such as GetApps, Zili, Rummy King, ShareMe, Mi Credit, and Mi Pay in addition to a few games also. And yes, as most of the Chinese apps have been banned in the country the device did not have any of the apps from the list. For gamers, this also has Game Turbo for easy access to all the games installed on the phone at one place. We should make a special say out there, this smartphone comes with parental control tools. A good addition for people who want their children to have this device. One this we did not like is that apps such as Zilli keep showing useless notifications that were annoying. Luckily you can uninstall the app.
Let’s get to the cameras now, there are four cameras at the back of the phone including a 13-megapixel primary sensor with f/2.2 aperture. Further assisted by a secondary 8-megapixel ultra-wide camera with a 118-degree field of view and f/2.2 aperture, a 5-megapixel macro lens with f/2.4 aperture and a 2-megapixel depth sensor. The camera app offers basic features such as AI, HDR, and filters along with Pro mode. We captured decent shots during the daylight with accurate details and exposure with the Redmi 9 Prime. During the night it took not-so-great shots. Also, you don’t get a dedicated night mode feature on the Redmi 9 Prime, which is a drawback.
Over that, shooting from the wide-angle lens will get you low-resolution images and are less vibrant. But in good lighting, you can achieve better pictures. When the AI is enabled it is quick to recognise scenes. But if you are getting closer to the subject it takes time to lock focus and you sometimes end up getting blurred images. So you need to be patient to get a perfect shot with the Redmi 9 Prime. Otherwise, the portrait sensor gets you decent images, as it does well in terms of the subject with a good amount of details.
For selfies, there is an 8-megapixel front-facing camera with a 77.8-degree field of view and f/2.0 aperture. It shares the same story as that of the daylight images. It delivers decent details and colours too. The video capabilities are just limited to 1080P at 30FPS. It lacks details as well as stabilisation. So, for the vloggers, this is not the right device as it can only be used for general recording purposes.
Another good thing about this phone is that it has a massive 5020mAh battery. During normal use, it delivers almost 2 days of battery life. You get a whole day of electric life even when you are gaming heavily on the Redmi 9 Prime. But like we said, it ships with a 10W charger out of the box, which takes more than three houses to fully charge the device.
Conclusion
So, after testing Redmi 9 Prime we have realised that running normal tasks on the phone will not be problematic at all. By the way, for better performance, we would recommend you to go for the higher variant like the one we reviewed. In the gaming department, it performed well. The cameras are not wow, but justify the price range. Overall, right now the Redmi 9 Prime is the best budget phone under Rs 10,000.

Xiaomi today officially launched Poco X3 in India. The device is the successor of Poco X2 and a tweaked variant of Poco X3 NFC which launched globally recently. The newly launched phone comes with a Snapdragon 732G SoC, Adreno 618 GPU, quad rear camera setup, supports 33W fast charging and is rated IP53 for water and dust resistance. So today we will compare all new Poco X3 with the predecessor and the global variant to know which one is a better device and also what changes does the company bring to the Indian variant.
In This Article
Display
Poco X3: 6.67-inch full-HD+ display
Poco X3 NFC: 6.67-inch full-HD+ display
Poco X2: 6.67-inch full-HD+ RealityFlow 120Hz Display
Fir of all there is no major difference between the NFC and the Indian variant of Poco X3. Here the company has upgraded the Indian version with a bigger 6,000mAh battery and another higher 8GB of RAM with 128GB of storage. While all the specification remains the same on both the devices. But in terms of pricing, we think Poco X2 could be a better buy as the processor is the same with almost similar rear camera details. Though it has a smaller battery, but also supports a 33W fast charging and it also features a similar display with a dual punch hole to house two selfie cameras that are not provided on both the models of X3. So at lesser pricing, you get all the features that a good gaming phone should have if you go for Poco X2.
