Helio G85 Phones
MediaTek has unveiled its latest Helio G85, which is another gaming chipset for affordable smartphones. The Taiwanese firm confirmed the new release in an official blog post with the highlight of. Amazon.com: Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 (128GB, 4GB) 6.53', 5020mAh Battery, MTK Helio G85, Dual SIM GSM Unlocked Global 4G LTE (T-Mobile, AT&T, Metro, Straight Talk) International Model (128GB SD Bundle, Forest Green). Helio G85 is essentially the G80 with faster graphics The Helio G85 builds on the Helio G80, increasing the GPU frequency to elevate the gaming experience further. Other specs largely remain the same. The processor is the same as that of the Helio G80, so we have got two Cortex-A75 cores clocked at 2.0GHz and six Cortex-A55 cores running at 1.8GHz.
Infinix unveiled a new member of the Hot 10 family today. With a modest name like the Infinix Hot 10S you wouldn’t guess that this is positioned as a gaming phone and is also the company’s first to come out with Android 11 (running XOS 7.6 with a revamped UI).
Before we dive into the specs, we should mention that this is an affordable phone that starts at $130. Some regions will get an NFC-enabled version, which has a couple of differences other than the obvious.
Infinix Hot 10S
The Hot 10S is equipped with a large 6.82” display with 90Hz refresh rate and 180Hz touch sampling rate. This is half of its gaming ambition and given that the resolution is 720p+, the other half should do quite well.
That second half is the MediaTek Helio G85, a 12nm chipset with a pair of Cortex-A75 cores (2GHz) and six A55 cores (1.8GHz), plus a Mali G52 MC2 running at 1GHz. According to Infinix, the GPU is 32% faster than the Adreno inside the Snapdragon 665 and our benchmarks do show that the G85 has the upper hand (the performance delta varies by the benchmark, but it’s noticeable).
Moving on, the rear camera features a 48MP sensor with a Super Nightscape mode for low-light photography. It is also capable of recording 1080p videos and 240fps slow-mo clips. On the front is an 8MP camera with a bokeh mode for videos.
48 MP rear camera (1080p video) plus fingerprint reader • 8 MP selfie camera
This can be used for face unlock (which allegedly works even if you have a mask on) or you can opt for the fingerprint reader on the back. Also on the back are a 2MP depth camera an an “AI Lens” (whatever that is).
The phone features dual-SIM 4G connectivity with VoLTE support. Ultra Power Mode can stretch the last 5% of battery charge to 3 and a half hours of voice calls. Wired connectivity includes microUSB and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
The battery is where the Hot 10S and Hot 10S NFC diverge. The 10S has a 6,000 mAh battery, which (according to Infinix) can deliver over 17 hours of gaming on a single charge or days and days of music playback. The NFC model has a 5,000 mAh battery. In both cases, charging is done at 10W.
Infinix Hot 10S colorways: 95° Black, Morandi Green, Heart of Ocean and 7° Purple
The Infinix Hot 10S will be available in Indonesia from May 12 and will expand to other countries later on. It will start at $130 for the 6/128GB model, but there are other memory configurations as well (4-6GB of RAM, 64-128GB storage).
The Infinix Hot 10S NFC will be available in Indonesia too, as well as Russia and Latin America. It will start at $120 for the 4/128GB model (there is a 4/64GB option as well).

4 - About Genshin Impact
Monetization System
Overall, Genshin Impact is a Free-To-Play open-world game, which is something pretty rare in the mobile market... as those games usually have pretty high system requirements. The monetization system for Genshin is a lootbox-like 'Gacha' system, in which you use the game's premium currency to get rare characters and weapons.
As there is no PVP, it is not super crucial for you to get every character in the game - you can just play around and use whatever characters you got from the Gacha. You can definitely beat the game with the starter characters.
World Design
The map is huge - the original version would take you over 30 hours to explore everything... and miHoYo is constantly updating the game with new regions. Travel across the colorful and beautiful world of Teyvat, climb mountains, swim across rivers... or gliding all over the place...
You would have much more freedom in this game comparing to others - all objects are climbable. Genshin Impact Mobile Graphics Requirements are super high because of this.
Gameplay
There are a lot of different characters, each with their own skills, ability and quirk... enough for all your fetishes. The combat system is pretty weird - you control a party of 4 characters... but not at the same time - you have to switch in and out between them... and this is where the Elemental Combo system comes in.
The 7 elements in Genshin Impact interact with each other in various different ways. Overall, it is based on videogame logic - a character doused with water would take more damage from lightning... or blob monsters can be frozen with ice then shattered.
Your attacks would also affect the environment as well - Ice attacks can freeze water while Fire attacks can burn grass.

There is a Co-Op system in which you can explore the world and doing quests with friends as well.
