The 72HZ K20 Pro: Evolution X ROM Experience

With the release of the K30 Pro, many smartphone enthusiasts have voiced two complaints: an un-fondness of Xiaomi’s software, and disappointment that Xiaomi’s latest skipped out on the 2020 quintessential high refresh screen. By installing a beloved ROM and overclocking the screen on our K20 Pro, we got a quick glimpse of what the K30 Pro could’ve been - and we really enjoyed it.

We have always been avid believers in bootloading your Xiaomi phone, it’s the best way to tap into a community of developers that truly aims to deliver an experience that matches your needs. The Evolution X ROM is no different, aimed at those who wish they could get the essential feel of a Pixel phone with a tad bit of customisation. This is a smooth, simple, clean experience with no hassles.

In terms of customisation, although the Evolution X ROM does not allow any features that completely sway from the Google vibe it aims to recreate, options such as the shape and size of icons still allow for creative home screen designs to take place with ease. Yet despite reaching the same levels of simplicity that get many to buy Google Pixel phones, is this ROM necessarily better?

On one hand, it created this lighter atmosphere that made us feel like our phone was created to perfect basic tasks. Getting to what we wanted to do was always simple and in reach, eliminating the distraction that comes with more crowded ROMs. But this doesn’t necessarily make it better, because to some, ourselves included, the extra quirks that come with a ROM resembling Xiaomi’s own makes us feel as if our phone is more capable, instead of simple.

While one’s ROM of choice comes down entirely to preference, what about overclocking the screen? Surely, having a smoother experience is objectively better, right? Well, we had mixed feelings here too. The experience was significantly smoother, with scroll-based apps such as Instagram feeling more refined, but that’s all it was, a more refined experienced, not a better one in any way. In other words, although scrolling through Instagram felt smoother, it wasn’t any better than it was before - it was still just scrolling.

And when you consider that overclocking your display may come with some sacrifices such as battery efficiency, it becomes really important to ask: if phones are meant to be used as tools, presumably ones that last us all day, is it worth sacrificing its longevity for a few moments of glamour? We don’t think so, which is why we are so satisfied with our new K30 Pro, but so some, perhaps smoothness makes all the difference.

What do you think, would you sacrifice functionality for simplicity? How about longevity for glamour? Let us know in the comments below!

3 Reasons Why Xiaomi’s Security Concerns Should Not Matter to You

Ever since the arrest of Huawei’s Meng Wanzhou last year, there have been many worldwide concerns regarding Chinese technology. At the heart of these concerns is Xiaomi, a Chinese company known for selling inexpensive products, and one that has recently openly confessed to collecting user data. With all of this in mind, here are three reasons we think any of these security concerns are simply not worth worrying about.

Spec to Price Ratio

When purchasing a Xiaomi phone, you’re signing up for early access to the latest and greatest smartphone specifications at half of the price other manufactures will sell them for. Take for example the Mi 10 series of phones, Xiaomi’s latest flagship. At about half the price of the latest Samsung S20, you are getting very similar display, camera and processor specifications.

Taking this into consideration, it becomes important to question just how Xiaomi turns a profit. In an article posted by the South China Morning Post, Xiaomi not only detailed that it caps its hardware sale profits at 5% (in comparison Apple keeps it at around 64%), but that Xiaomi’s “profit from fee-based internet services is quite considerable” In other words, by collecting data through its browser and other services, Xiaomi is better able to target ads and paid services to its consumers, keeping the cost of their hardware down whilst still making a decent income.

Chinese Regulations

Under the recent allegations that Xiaomi was collecting user information from its browser, the company responded, as posted in an Android Authority article, that it does the following:

“collects ‘aggregate usage statistics data’ in incognito mode. This includes: system information, preferences, user interface feature usage, responsiveness, performance, memory usage, and crash reports. This data cannot be used to identify an individual, the company argued in response to Forbes’ report.”

In the scope of Chinese regulations, more specifically the Cyber Secuirty Law effective from June 1, 2017, which rules the collection of personal data as illegal - Xiaomi’s claim seems to match. The Law defines personal data as “information that identifies a natural person either by itself or in combination with other information. The term includes a person’s name, address, telephone number, date of birth, identity card number and biometric identifiers.”

Of course, there is much to be theorised about whether or not companies abide by these laws, but in a completely theoretical framework, Xiaomi’s claim of what it collects would match the legal boundaries of the Chinese government.

Bootloading

If you weren’t convinced by any of the previous reasons stated in this article, then this last one is for you: Don’t like Xiaomi’s data collection software? Simply get rid of it. Being one of the biggest open-source communities, Xiaomi devices are easily bootloadable, allowing you to easily remove the pre-installed software and install data-collecting free versions.

Design and UX (10 points)

Whilst audio is what many would argue is the most important category when choosing truly wireless earbuds, we believe that convenience is what makes many leave the wire world.

Why YOU Shouldn't Buy Truly Wireless Earbuds Right Now

You shouldn’t buy truly wireless headphones right now. As much as that statement hurts coming from a truly wireless headphone fanatic, recent development in this industry have unfortunately led this to be the case.

Released a few months ago, the Qualcom 3020 chip set aimed to bring a slew of features that significantly improves the usability of truly wireless headphones:

A much improved mono mode, allowing both sets of truly wireless earbuds to connect individually;

Improved call noise reduction, allowing for your truly wireless calls to be more practical and lastly;

Improved latency, making sure that smartphone gamers or heavy media viewers can use their truly wireless earbuds without missing in on the action!

If this list doesn’t sound especially useful or worth waiting, then go on and purchase a pair of truly wireless earbuds - you can find lots of older pairs on the cheap! But if you’re like us, and could see these set of features impacting the usability of your truly wireless earbuds, then we have some unfortunate news for you: Only a very select few truly wireless earbud producers have brought this latest technology to market, one of our favourite implementations yet being the Haylou GT1 Plus.

What this means for you, the consumer, is that unless you’re informed in what pairs of truly wireless earbuds contain this new technology, buying a pair of truly wireless earbuds right at this moment may include outdated technology that will not give you the best experience possible - simply wait a few months and soon enough, like truly wireless earbuds themselves, this once limited technology will be available at the hands of many for a very fair price!

GT1 Plus VS MPOW M50: Which Qualcomm 3020 headphone should YOU buy?

The new Qualcomm 3020 has greatly impacted the usability of truly wireless earbuds. In this article, we will be comparing two Qualcomm 3020 truly wireless earbuds, the Haylou GT1 Plus and the MPOW M50 in order to truly answer: Which Qualcomm 3020 truly wireless earbud should you buy?

Features

While both of these truly wireless earbuds have the Qualcomm 3020 chipset, they also feature a few other similarities and differences that may sway you towards one of these budget truly wireless earbud options:

Both Have: CVC 8 (Voice capture), True mono mode, APTX audio, 3.5 hours of play time, microphones. This means that both headphones will offer a very similar listening experience, packing all the modern features one could come to expect in truly wireless earbuds.

Differences: The MPOW has better water resistance at IPX 7, the MPOW’s case has indicator lights, the MPOW features button controls and the Haylou GT1 Plus features touch controls. Where the MPOW compromises modern touch controls for extra durability, the Haylou GT1 Plus is the more fragile truly wireless earbud but packs a modern feature that to many is considered an essential inclusion.

Because both truly wireless earbuds offer a similar technical experience, with a few compromises here and there, we are declaring this section a tie.

Build Quality and Materials

In this section, the MPOW begins to set itself apart from its competitor. Although it packs a bulkier case, the MPOW justifies the extra size with more premium feeling materials using on both the case and earbuds themselves - in fact, we would go as far as to say that every part of this earbud that you can touch feels better constructed than Haylou’s take on a Qualcomm 3020 truly wireless earbud.

This isn’t to say that the MPOW will put anyone’s AirPods to shame, the point we aim to illustrate here is that at its price bracket, the MPOW features an average build quality, whilst the Haylou GT1 Plus is simply below average. For this reason, we give the MPOW a 3/5 score, and the Haylou GT1 Plus a 2/5.

Sound

Considering you will be often listening to some sort of audio in your brand new truly wireless earbuds, it is important that it has great audio - and we are happy to report, both of these do. Being very clear and defined, we imagine that no matter what Qualcomm 3020 truly wireless earbud from this list that you pick, you will have no issues listening to any music genre you enjoy.

With that said, the MPOW takes the slight edge, being slightly more clear and defined than Haylou’s offering, and for that reason, it scores a 4/5, while the Haylou GT1 Plus simply scores a 3/5 - nevertheless, both are still respectable truly wireless earbuds that definitely won’t disappoint.

Overall User Experience

Lastly, on usability, we must take a look at everything we have considered this far: The MPOW features indicator lights, buttons, a more premium design and slightly better audio. Meanwhile, to protect itself, all the Haylou brings to the table are its touch controls. For this reason, we find that most will have a more enjoyable time with the MPOW, as it simply feels like the more complete package.

However, we do understand the value of touch controls, and how it can make all the difference to some users - so though we ultimately think the MPOW is the winner, scoring 7/10 points (only losing points due to the extra discomfort its larger case may cause in terms of portability), we think the Haylou GT1 Plus will have its niche following, but for today, it gets a 5/10.

Conclusions

To conclude, being 4 points ahead of the Haylou GT1 Plus, the MPOW takes the cake being THE Qualcomm 3020 truly wireless earbud that you should buy!
