Bringing in this latest model of our LUMIX full-frame mirrorless technology in India, is a step towards catering to this growing demand amongst photographers, videographers and content creators. India is one of our key markets and we see immense potential in the full-frame mirrorless camera segment. And being an avid photographer myself, can’t wait to get my hands on the new S5.” As far as the specifications are concerned, LUMIX S5 contains a 24.2-megapixel 35mm full-frame CMOS sensor that delivers a wide dynamic range and high sensitivity performance made possible by sufficient light condensation. Delivering crystal clear high sensitivity videos, S5 boasts Dual Native ISO technology, enabling users to shoot images and videos with minimal noise. Furthermore, LUMIX S5 is powered with advanced deep-learning technology that provides high-speed, high-precision AF (auto focus) in both taking stills and recording videos by featuring real-time detection of the subject’s features such as human eye, face, head and body.

Hisense Android TV 43A71F review: Great visuals and audio

0
Hisense might be a new entrant in India, but we have experienced its TVs plenty of times at CES (Consumer Electronics Show) at Las Vegas, USA. The company is known for giving great (latest) features at affordable rates. Bringing the same theory to India, Hisense launched a flurry of thin tubes in India out of which we got the 43-inch Android Television to tinker with. We spent some time with the flat screen and this is our review of Hisense Android TV 43A71F.

Design

Out of the box, the Hisense Android TV 43A71F takes very little time to setup. The manual is thorough enough to get you rolling. Looks-wise the TV has similarities with other brands in the market that have a similar twin V type table stand and thin bezels. However here the bottom bezel with the Hisense branding is broader than the other three sides (that are really thin). There are no physical buttons on the TV set and since it is a smart TV, you have to enable or browse everything with the supplied remote. The Hisense Android TV 43A71F has a single component port at the back along with 3 HDMI, 1 Ethernet and 2 USB ports on the side. A 3.5mm auxiliary port can also be found here. These are somewhat accessible from the side (we would have wanted closer to the side and not deeper in). The remote is well made and has a mesh running on its back for extra grip. It has all the necessary functions along with some great quick access buttons for OTT players such as Netflix, YouTube, Google Play, Prime Video and Disney Hotstar.

Hisense Android TV 43A71F Performance

Moving on the fun part. Hisense Android TV 43A71F is made for binge-watchers and couch-potatoes who want nothing but the best sound and picture quality. This television provides both. You can watch 4K video on this smart TV with powerful sound. Unlike most in the category, this TV set provides 24W RMS sound with Dolby Atmos. Trust us, the sound on this TV is very loud and good for medium to a large room. We played a lot of varied content on the TV starting from Netflix shows to YouTube videos. A couple of Xbox games were also thrown in and everything worked quite well. The colours were very vivid with exceptional blacks. Since it is an LED smart TV with Dolby Vision, the games (especially the racing ones) look very nice. Audio for both, gaming and movies is great, and like we said 24W sound with Dolby Atmos does a super job. Talking a bit more about the Tech Specs, this smart TV has 2GB RAM inside with 16GB of space. It is built on Google Android 9 Pie for TVs so boot time is quite low. It takes about 20 seconds for it to fully load up. Apps like Netflix, Disney Hotstar, Prime Video come preloaded on the OS and more can be downloaded from the App store. Most popular playback files like MP4, MP3, JPEG etc are supported via the USB drive as well. There is a dedicated sports mode on the TV too that adjusts the contrast of the TV according to the sport type.

Verdict

All in all, the Hisense Android TV 43A71F is a good TV. Things like Google assistant are in-built and can be accessed easily with the supplied remote. This smart TV supports both Ethernet and Wi-Fi and connects to 5GHz (Wi-Fi) for fast speed internet with a compatible modem. That is good since none of us wants to be hit with the bugging buffer wheel. At Rs 32,990 this 43-inch smart TV might seem to be on the higher side. However, none of the competition has the same kind of features this TV has. Also, right now since they are a new brand in the country they might have teething issues. You can definitely buy this one if you can look past these.

Oppo Reno 4 Pro review: The stunner

Chinese technology company, Oppo, recently launched its Reno 4 Pro smartphone in India at Rs 34,990. The smartphone comes with a curved display, a quad camera setup, and a 4,000mAh battery that has support for 65W Super VOOC 2.0 fast charging. We spent a few days with Oppo Reno 4 Pro and here’s what we think of it:

Oppo Reno 4 Pro design and display

The design of the Oppo Reno 4 Pro is extremely premium. The look and feel of the smartphone make it stand out from the crowd and it can certainly be called one of its pros. We should mention that Oppo Reno 4 Pro comes with a curved display, so if you are someone who enjoys watching Netflix and YouTube content on your smartphone, you may want to consider it. The plastic back panel of the handset is also curved and has a matte finish on it. The two together make Oppo Reno 4 Pro quite stunning to look at. The back panel of the Oppo Reno 4 Pro houses the quad-camera setup and also has the Oppo branding. The handset has to be held in the landscape mode to see the branding upright, and this emphasizes on how the company has focussed on the cameras of the device. The right edge of Oppo’s latest offering has the Power button while the left one has the volume rocker keys. The bottom edge has the speaker grille, the microUSB port, the microphone as well as the 3.5mm headphone jack, while the top edge has the SIM tray and the secondary microphone placed on it. Another thing that we liked about the smartphone is that it is very light. It weighs 161 grams and is just 7.7mm in width. Oppo Reno 4 Pro Coming to the display of Oppo Reno 4 Pro, it is another one of the key highlights of the handset. The smartphone is dominated by a 6.5-inch full-HD+ Super AMOLED display that is protected with a layer of Corning’s Gorilla Glass 5 and has a refresh rate of 90Hz. It is worth noticing that the Indian version of the handset does not come with support for HDR10, and although that might be a disappointment for some, in no way does it change the fact that the handset’s screen is amazing. The images projected on the display of Oppo Reno 4 Pro are crisp and the colours are accurate and vibrant. We used the phone from different viewing angles and the colours remained consistent. The brightness of the device is good too. There is a hole-punch camera on the top left corner of the handset and the screen also has an in-display fingerprint sensor embedded on it. Oppo Reno 4 Pro 3 We watched a lot of Netflix and YouTube content on the device and even played a lot of games, and doing these two on the handset was simply a visual treat. The sunlight readability of the smartphone’s screen was decent as well. In a nutshell, the design and the display of Oppo Reno 4 Pro were definitely among its talking points, and if these two aspects matter to you, you would certainly not be disappointed.

Oppo Reno 4 Pro performance and cameras

Before we get started about the performance of the Oppo Reno 4 Pro, let’s take a minute to talk about the rest of its specifications. The handset is powered by an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G SoC paired with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. For additional storage, users have the option of adding a microSD card. The device runs Android 10 skinned with ColorOS 7.2 and a 4,000mAh battery that has support for 65W SuperVOOC 2.0. For imaging duties, there is a 48MP primary Sony IMX586 sensor, an 8MP secondary ultra-wide angle camera, a 2MP macro lens and a 2MP mono camera. There is a 32MP Sony IMX616 camera on the display for selfies and video calls. Coming to the software of the smartphone, there are a number of tweaks that the skin adds like ‘Icon pull-down gesture’ and ‘Quick Return Bubble’. The company has also added some of its own services like Oppo LAB and Oppo Relax to the smartphone. Moving on to the performance of the device, even though Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G is not the latest processor in the market, Oppo Reno 4 Pro managed to pull off most tasks with ease. But then, it definitely lags behind when compared to other devices in the same price range that have more powerful processors. In fact, OnePlus Nord is cheaper than Oppo Reno 4 Pro but still offers Snapdragon 765G SoC, which is a lot better than the 720G. Of course, day to day tasks were not a problem as we could launch and switch between apps with ease and the smartphone’s performance didn’t deteriorate even when we multitasked on it. During our time with the device, we played a number of games on it including Asphalt 9: Legends and Alto’s Odessey. The smartphone handled them all very well, no matter how graphic heavy they were. Even though some of the gaming sessions were very long, the handset never heated up too much. It did warm up moderately after prolonged gaming, but we get to see that on several phones. Oppo Reno 4 Pro 5 The 4,000mAh battery of the smartphone lasts for almost two days with moderate usage that involves watching YouTube content, some phone calls, listening to music and browsing through social media apps. Oppo Reno 4 Pro comes with 65W Super VOOC 2.0 fast charger that can charge the handset almost completely in half an hour. Now, let’s talk about the cameras of the handset. Like we mentioned earlier, the device comes with four cameras and obviously, we had certain expectations. However, Oppo Reno 4 Pro could not really live up to them when it comes to photography. Oppo Reno 4 Pro camera sample 2 The 48MP primary camera does a great job during the day, in well-lit conditions and offers a good amount of detail in the shot. The colours were also vibrant and accurate. However, the quality dips as soon as you switch to the wide-angle sensor. Oppo Reno 4 Pro camera sample 3 So basically, you give up on the the quality in lieu of greater area covered. Even the zoomed in shots lacked details and clarity at times. The colours did not remain as good as when you take images from the primary camera. Oppo Reno 4 Pro camera sample In dimly lit conditions, switch to Night Mode for best results. Otherwise the images may have some noise. Most of the selfies that we took using the front-facing snapper turned out to be good, especially the ones clicked in well-lit conditions. But then again, the quality fell when lights weren’t too bright.

Verdict

To conclude, we would say that Oppo Reno 4 Pro comes with its own share of pros and cons. The design and the display are definitely among the positive aspects of the handset, while the cameras and the processor could have been better. The performance is smooth, but then with OnePlus Nord available at a cheaper price, Oppo Reno 4 Pro has plenty of competition in the same price rage. Pros
  • Beautiful design
  • Vibrant display
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Dated processor
  • Inconsistent camera performance
