Welcome to the sale guru show and once again we are in the loose time we are in flood time. We've got product after product. You know, as I speak right now there are products being launched and, as the show we watched by you through this week, more and more products are going to come in now you would say: that's what happens almost every week. Now this week and next week have actually been a very, very special time in terms of mobile phones, because every company seems to have picked up its tempo. So I'll give you an example: we've got red, Lee's new phone, the Redmi Note 9 pro max I know it's a mouthful of phone, but we're going to find out if there is something very Pro, is and Maxis. Is that right max is about it? Yes max is about it, then we'll move on to this one Samsung's e 31, once again, a 20,000 rupee phones in there a series that again kind of pick marks all the boxes that you need, but is about 20000 rupees.

So how does it do against the competition that, at this price point, does have a lot of happening, we'll compare it with some other phones also, then we have the ultimate shootout, but this is a very interesting shootout. This shootout was not something that I asked for its something that you asked for everyone's asking for it. Now that the OnePlus 8 series is available. How about a shootout between the 1 +, 8 and the 10 now do remember, there's one of those first times when the Xiaomi is higher priced and the OnePlus is lower price. In fact, you can get the base model for this for around 41 42 thousand rupees, and this is 50 thousand bucks, but do remember by the time you get one of the best variants of this.

The price is almost similar and from there we'll move on to true Wireless buds comparison between what do you get when you spend more money versus buying a cheaper one that and a lot more happening on the sale guru show today all right. It's time now to move on to all our news coming in from the world of mobile gamers have some exciting news for you. A source has confirmed that its next gaming forum, the DOG 3, will launch globally this month a soup has been tight-lipped about the fact this phone was carried, but it is rumored to have a 6000 mAh battery and a 64 megapixel main lens. An event countdown on Asus website calls this a game changer and hence that of July 22nd launch WhatsApp has taken out some much-awaited features that include a QR code, adding option where people with a QR code will simply be able to scan and save numbers. There are also animated stickers now, along with dark mode for WhatsApp web.

What's up with your calls, now have a new effect where one person's window can be made full screen by long pressing on it and for I/OS WhatsApp users, the disappearing status feature will finally be rolled out. All these features will be rolled out in the next few weeks. Let's get on to our first story, and this is a very interesting story, because it is on a brand-new phone from Xiaomi. Now, like we say in our review and something very interesting about Xiaomi, is that it's a very, very aggressive player in the under 20,000 brackets. It literally has a phone in every single category, but the important thing that we have to find out now is that with a brand-new phone that they've come out first and foremost, a big question that we had in our mind was: why does this even phone, the even exists, because they already have a Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 pro now to take out a max version.

Predominantly the big difference is a little in the battery a little in the optics. So should it even exist, there are much more competition out there around this price point. Is it better than the competition? Is it better to buy this phone than just buy the pro version of these lots of questions? And, of course we have all the answers. Xiaomi has a very interesting strategy when it comes to budget and economy phones. They have at least one to two offerings that literally every price points.

Thus, when they announced a more well SPENT version of their at me, note ninth row: no one was really surprised. They called it. The note nine Pro max, just how pro is and Maxis is this fall, is our quest for today. The note 9 Pro max does raise quite a few very important question. Is it way better than his previous generation? The note 8 Pro? Is it worth the 3 thousand rupees or more than the note 9 Pro, and is it better than the other two Biggies in this category and price point the Realme sixth row and the Poco x2? It's a nice looking phone for sure, glass back, finish side facing fingerprint sensor and a massive 6.6 7-inch screen with a contour camera in the middle of the screen. It comes in three colors.

Furthermore, it's also a fingerprint magnet and was impossible not to smudge, even if we handled it very carefully. Thankfully, it comes with a cover inside the box. Unfortunately, in terms of its form factor, it's a very poorly balanced phone, big, unwieldy and heavy 209 grams and thick not a good hand, feel at all. On the brighter side. It does have a 3.5 mm headphone jack, something of a rarity nowadays. The six point six 7 inch display has a typical 2405 1080p resolution for this price category, but once again it misses out on the refresh rate as it's a very middling 60 Hertz, refresh rate lower than the 90 health's refresh rate you get on.

Phones, like the Realme 6 pro surprising omission from Xiaomi here. The ninth row max runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 723 outscore processor, which is a great chipset for performance gaming as well as running cool. Everyday performance is fast apps load, quick and multitasking is the breeze. Gaming was pretty good too, and you can piston out pop G at a fairly good graphics, setting now, let's get into the optics, which is where the pro max version differentiates itself from its sibling. It has a 64 megapixel main lens as part of a quad camera assembly.

The others are an 8 megapixel ultra-wide camera.5 megapixel macro camera and a 2 megapixel depth camera the setup. Shots are from the and won't let the phone line flat when it's put on its back. Nothing outstanding was achieved in our photo test, though outdoor and daylight photography was bright with a lot of detail, but the minute we moved to lower light situation or indoor the results were washed out and very grainy. Nothing Pro max about the camera results in this one selfie from the 32 megapixel front. Camera were nice and sharp at once again lost their magic.

When not bent the right amount of light. There is the pro column mode that bumps up the contrast in photos and works. Well, if you like saturated photos, there are some video tricks, like short clips through the kaleidoscope effect, plus, you can shoot slow motion at up to 960 frames per. Second, things start to look a bit better when you realize that back inside this very big and heavy phone is a massive 5020 mAh battery, and it has the 33 watt fast charger that comes in the box, kudos to Shame. For doing that.

The Xiaomi phone obviously comes with the UI interface and while things have changed, it is more polished. It also carries all the other problems that this UI has, as always, there's way too much pre-installed load man, some of them, are seriously spam filled app after spending 17 thousand rupees. You don't want to be bombed by unwanted ads, but between notification and shimmies, wallpaper carousels you're going to get a heavy load of them, not a great feeling ever the variants available are 6, GB, RAM and 64gb storage for sixteen thousand four hundred and ninety-nine rupees 6 GB, RAM and 128 GB storage for 17 thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine rupees an 8 GB, RAM, 128, GB storage for nineteen thousand 999 repeals the final verdict. The Redmi Note 9 pro max, misses the bus and by quite a wide margin, it just doesn't have anything super special to justify its price point or existence. There are better phones from real Indian folk where these price points and Xiaomi zone note 9 Pro is a better buy at a lower price.

Now, let's move on to this our next story- and this is on the Samsung e 31 phones. Now you know the Samsung series M series. These came in to make Samsung a real player against the competition it was having both in the online and offline market. Both have done remarkably well, and the number of phones they take out also is pretty markable and other phone from the a-series is out now great amount of optics at the back, like I, said right in the beginning, you may be confused when you look at the back, because it's got a rectangular cutout out here. Of course, it's jutting out, but it's a rectangular cutout for all the optical setup, and it looks like the S series more or less, but believe me, this is the series I think this is becoming a signature, look for most Samsung phones, so nice, looking for nice and thin good battery good charging nice screen on it.

The kind of things that you need. This has become another signature for Samsung. They have a water drop, not on this, but it's for 20,000 rupees. So once again the big question that comes up is: do you really get something more than just a Samsung brand name when you spend 20,000 rupees on a phone like this to make sense of the A's and the M strong, the Samsung stable might be a little unpredictable, but the brand clearly has two strategies is for the individual who believes will flicker designs and n is for those who like to keep a check on the price tag. The Samsung Galaxy a 31, comes in a six point: four zero touchscreen AMOLED display with a resolution of 1080 by 2400 pixels Samsung Galaxy.

A 31 is powered by a 2 gigahertz outscore MediaTek, Hello, P 65 processor and comes with 6 GB of RAM, the Samsung Galaxy 2. The 31 runs on Android 10 and is powered by a 5000 mAh non-removable battery. It can easily go well beyond the day on a single charge. There are 15 watts fast charging, so you can charge the battery up to 50 percent in an hour, but filling it completely takes well over to us. As far as the cameras were concerned, the Samsung Galaxy a 31 on the rear pack, the 48 megapixel primary camera, with an F by 2.0 aperture, a second 8 megapixel camera with an F by 2.2 aperture and a third 5 megapixel camera with a f5 2.4 purchase and a fourth 5 megapixel camera with a f5 2.4 aperture. The rear camera setup has autofocus it sports, a 20, megapixel camera the front for selfies with the FI 2.2 aperture, the quad camera cluster at the back is a rectangular module. But surprisingly, doesn't bulge out much nope, okay recording on this device, the camera results, given the price left house wanting for a lot more, the Samsung Galaxy 831 runs on one UI 2.1, based on android, 10 and past 128gb of inbuilt storage that can be expanded via micros card of up to 512 GB, and it's available in three colors sensors on the phone into the next Toledo meter. This phone also has faced unlock and an end display fingerprint scanner.

The Samsung Galaxy 831 price in India, starts at 20, 1999 rupees our magic. Even if prices were to slip, there are better devices out there, including in Samsung's own galaxy use and now for the shootout that we all have been waiting for the one plus eight versus the Xiaomi me 10. Now both have very interesting history and legacy behind it. We already know OnePlus is the king of this market from 30,000 to about 45,000. Now, fifty thousand and fifty-five thousand also OnePlus has always reigned supreme.

Xiaomi wanted to break this complete control of one plus. They came up with the 10. Lots of people said this is a complete failure of a phone from me 10, because at 50,000 rupees people are not going to buy a Xiaomi for Xiaomi a brand more associated with 5 7 10, 15 thousand rupee pours, and so would you spend 50,000 rupees on a Xiaomi phone in terms of the feature set in terms of what it does it's great. But there is a brand value perception problem, but today we will actually take a look at both these phones, the 1 plus 8 versus the Xiaomi me 10. We're actually declared a true real winner, the worthy contender against Rome's premium me 10 is the 1 plus 8 series, and while we have compared it to 1 plus 8 pro in the past, it's time to look at the one class that goes slightly lighter on the pocket.

The 1 plus 8 starts at 40 1900 99 rupees, while the Shame each end starts at 49,999 rupees, with the difference of almost 8,000 rupees gamma, 1 plus 8 proved to be mightier than the big ticket me 10. Let's put the two side-by-side and find out which one you should buy in terms of design. Both the phones go with a subtle gradient on the back. They look minimal, but the make does attract some fingerprints on both these phones.1 plus 8 has corning gorilla glass on the back as well.1 plus 8 has the camera is vertically stacked on the back, like its probe Armand, but the difference with me.10 comes in their screen size. The 10 has a large 6.6 7 inch display, while the OnePlus 8 has a 6.5 5 inch display 1, + 8 packs in more pixels on its display, but otherwise both the phones do very. Similarly, here both have an AMOLED display with full HD + resolutions and a 90 health panel.

Under the hope me 10, +, 1 + 8 go the extra mile with their performance both bring an 8 GB, RAM and snapdragon 865 processors. The phones are really fast, even with heavy-duty game. The differentiator here comes with the OS. The two phones for the 10 brings a UI 11, based on Android 10, while the 1 + 8 has oxygen OS on it me 10 doesn't ring as me. UI 11 is highly customizable, but there are pre-installed apps oxygen.

Os takes the point here with a very clean, close to stock Android experience. The WoW feature with the meeting has been at 108 megapixel camera, and this is the one feature this phone can really blow its own trumpet about me.10 has a quad camera set up with a hundred and eight megapixel lens in the lead, along with a 13 megapixel ultra-wide camera, a 2 megapixel macro sensor and a 2 megapixel depth sensor, 1 + 8 brings three cameras of 48 megapixel sensor, 16 megapixel ultra-wide lens and a 2 megapixel macro lens. The 10 does well with the hundred and eight megapixel lens the details and shots was stunning and there's a lot of playing around that one can do with this camera 1 + 8 click shots which were true to life in terms Color Me. Ten can shoot videos up to 8k, while one plus eight can take videos in 4k. The ten has the 20 megapixel front camera, while the one plus eight has a 16 megapixel front shooter on paper and with the shots we got Xiaomi Smeaton, snatched the optics point here.

We do miss the telephoto lens on the 10, but it impresses with superior camera capabilities. As for the juice, these phones back in the 1 cos theta 4 t 300 mAh battery, while the 10 has a larger 47, 80 my battery 1 class 8 lasted us today, but me 10 can pull off a little more than that. Both bring 30 watts fast charging, but unlike the meat and the 1 plus 8 misses out on wireless charging and now for the verdict. If you are ready to shell out more than 40,000 rupees and want a Sukkot flagship which of these phones is the better choice for you, the one cal state offers a more affordable deal with a good design, software and excellent performance. The 10 comes in slightly more expensive, but offers a lot more as well, with a better camera and battery life, there's also wireless charging, which is pretty useful if you are ready to spend around 50,000 rupees the meet and makes for a better choice here, let's take a quick break right now, the sale guru show when we come back a lot more now, let's move on to a story.

We've been wanting to do for a while, because it's something that is a very interesting question that gets answered. What do you get when you spend more money on something when you or actually can get the entire same category for a much lower price? I'm talking about wireless earbuds, you know, there's become famous out there on our other show. The gadget 360 show we're doing a twin review of Sony, true Wireless here, but so do what's that short to now today, what we're going to do is we will take a Samsung earbud about twelve thousand rupees and compare it to read me, which is under four thousand rupees. So what do you really do when you're spending eight thousand rupees more? Do you really get bang for buck when you spend that much more money, remember it's to do with sound something we are all very, very sensitive to, but easily the most spending term of this year, and rightly so, as every brand is taking out their best possible version of the true wireless earphones? Today we look at two options: one that focuses on audio quality and another that wants to give a premium experience at an affordable price. We will start with the Samsung Galaxy bugs Plus, which are the successor of the Galaxy Buds launched last year.

The new buds may look almost the same as its predecessor, but bring better performance and battery life onboard. The sound quality is outstanding with powerful bass and write high notes. The audio is rich and natural, and we thoroughly loved listening to the music on it as it now comes with dual dynamic drivers. There is a three mic setup for loud and clear voice. Calls in any surrounding the battery life steals the show, as it offers up to 11 hours of non-stop music on a single charge.

Of course, the case gives an additional charge. The big bummer is that no noise cancellation onboard the buds Plus fit beautifully in the ear and looks likely better than last year's buzz, and our opinion has made the earphones look a bit better. The charging case comes with an indicator light at the front and USB type-c port for charging at the back. The case can also be charged wirelessly through reverse charging on a smartphone that supports this by using a QI, wireless charger, the butts plus act, even smarter, with the bucks plus app with which, with which we can customize a lot of gestures. We highly recommend for those who are on Android and have 12 thousand rupees of budget and can do without noise cancellation, moving on from butts that cost twelve thousand to the buds that cost two thousand rupees meet the Xiaomi Redmi buts s super light through wireless earphones that have decent audio quality and bring noise cancellation in under two thousand rupees.

The discreet design is comfortable and being just four Z each we could wear them for long hours. The pairing is super easy, and it does have control in the earbuds to pause and play. They read me earbuds s, ship, with a low latency mode for gamers that can be activated by pressing the button on the earphone thrice. They are ipx4 rated, which means their sweat resistant, but don't go swimming with them. The audio quality is decent, but not at par with the bus that cost five to ten times more.

Also, the build quality is not that sophisticated. We like that Xiaomi has added noise cancellation, and it works fairly. Well. The Redmi Buddy is a prize at $70.99 rupees in India. They are a great option for everyone who doesn't want to spend a lot yet get everything 20 20 bucks have to offer.

They are truly the buds for the masses. That then, was the sale guru show for this week. As always, we've got fantastic stuff for you next week, including locos brand new, just released phone that and a lot more. This is Rajeev cockney's, saying goodbye. I'll see you next week, you.
