The Google Pixel 9 Pro has several key upgrades over the old Pixel 8 that earn it its “pro” moniker and also justify the price premium over the Pixel 9. Among them is an upgraded LTPO display panel – or it should have been, anyway. It turns out that you have to read the fine print. The Pixel 9 Pro and even the Pixel 9 Pro XL may not have LTPO displays in India, Malaysia and Singapore. In those regions they have Actua Displays instead of the Super Actua Displays that are used on units sold in the rest of the world. Note that Actua and Super Actua tech is about display brightness rather than...

A week after the Realme 13 Pro and 13 Pro+ went on sale in India, the company has started teasing the arrival of the vanilla Realme 13 series. The phones will focus on the “speed trinity”: Chipset, Memory and Charging. Scrolling a little further down the landing page, there is a mention of the Dimensity 7200. Recently, we saw a Geekbench result from the Realme 13+ with the Dimensity 7300 instead, so the 7200 might be for the base Realme 13. Not that the Dimensity 7200 is bad – it’s a 4nm (TSMC) chip with 2x Cortex-A715 (2.8GHz) and 6x Cortex-A510 (2.0GHz), plus a Mali-G610 MC4...
