B&O Beoplay A9 4th Gen Review

If you're someone who likes everything top-notch and classy and can spend a small fortune on it, this speaker won't disappoint. It will bring the house down at a party, do everything a smart speaker does, and can be a replacement to your soundbar while enhancing the decor of your home. At Rs 2,50,000, it is not everyone's speaker as it targets those who want a balance of form and functionality that oozes luxury.

I have used many smart speakers over the years, but I recently received the super-premium Bang & Olufsen BeoPlay A9 4th gen that changed the way I look at smart speakers. You can’t even compare it to Google Home and Amazon Echo speakers because of their size, audio quality, purpose and price.

Those who've heard of the Danish brand Bang & Olufsen know that the company is known for high-end designer consumer electronics with an extraordinary focus on design and aesthetics. Not just that, another presumption that strikes the name is the premium price. Bang & Olufsen serves the demand for luxurious design aesthetics with high-end tech and targets those who don't mind paying a premium for it.

The BeoPlay A9 4th Gen costs Rs 2,50,000 in India, and that immediately cuts off the scope of comparison with the majority of smart speakers. So in this review, we'll talk more about its experience, who it is for, and if the audio performance justifies the premium price. 

Bang & Olufsen BeoPlay A9 4th Gen: Design

Ever since smart speakers became a thing, design has been considered an important element. That makes sense because tech feels better, in general, when merged with a good design, and in the case of smart speakers it gets even more important as it's always in front of your eyes.

With this speaker, Bang and Olufsen pushed this belief to a much higher standard. The BeoPlay A9 is the most unique-looking speaker, I can affirm that as I shared a picture of this speaker on my Instagram and out of 200 people who saw it, only one could guess that it was a speaker. That's also because the person had tripped over the design before. Some thought it was a mirror, some were sure it was a reflector, but many just couldn’t figure it out.

Its uniqueness makes it eye-catching, but that's an understatement as many art and design nerds also approved of its elegance and beauty. It literally looks like a piece of modern art with minimalism all around. It can blend in any modern home with a kind of minimalism that begets attention. 

The speaker has two major parts - the circular speaker panel and the wooden legs. Assembly is straightforward, you just have to screw three beautiful oak wood legs into the body. The legs are subtly marked with A and B, where leg A fits in the centre and B goes left and right. There's also a body-coloured panel on the back that hides the ports giving it a seamless look. You can also wall mount this speaker, which makes it look like a convex mirror you find on blind turns.

It is 90cm tall, and the speaker is 70cm in diameter and weighs close to 15Kgs with legs, which means it's not portable. However, you get a sunken handle at the back, which makes it easy to grab, pick and move inside the house.

The front is covered in a wool-like fabric circled with a chrome ring resting on oak wood legs. This combination gives it a clean, furniture-like feel. It comes in six colour tones where the ring, legs and fabric are mixed and matched. We got the white variant with oak legs and a white fabric cover.

The downside of the white variant was evident right after we unboxed it, one of the visitors at home touched it and immediately left a dirty thumbprint. So you have to keep your pets away and try not to touch the fabric to keep it clean. It's tough to clean, and you can replace the cover, but it's another 50 Euros (approx Rs 4,300), so getting a darker variant might be a better idea.

Bang & Olufsen Beoplay A9 4th Gen: Audio performance

Despite reviewing a ton of speakers, it was difficult for me to know what to expect from a speaker that costs Rs 2.5 lakh. I have used premium soundbars and speakers in the past, but this is the most expensive home speaker I've tested, so my expectations were sky-high and so should yours since you're paying a premium.

It packs 2 x 3/4-inch tweeters, 2 x 1 1/2-inch full-range driver units, 2 x 3-inch midrange driver unit and an 8-inch woofer. The woofer is powered by a heavy 160-watt amplifier. The total power output of all these drivers combine to offer 480 watts, which is massive for a house of any size and I could feel that while using it. So, the first thing to tick off the list is the loudness, if that's something you worry about. It gets VERY loud, irrespective of the source you're using to play the audio.

Apart from the glass-shaking loudness, there's a lot more impressive engineering packed inside. It has an Active Room Compensation feature that is advertised to adapt the audio output as per space. I did find the feature working as we shifted the speaker to different rooms. I'm not sure if it's better than the manual calibration that some high-end speakers offer, but it does adapt the sound, and it can be clearly felt.

In terms of the quality of audio, the BeoPlay A9 shines again. It claims an effective frequency range from 33Hz to 23000Hz, whereas a human can hear up to 20Hz, which ideally has an impact on paper for low frequencies, but my ears couldn't make that out, much like most humans. If you like your bass warm, filling and powerful like me, you will love this. More so because it is clean and doesn't dampen the mids and highs, even at high volumes. 

I played 'The Lemon Song' by Led Zeppelin to listen to one of my go-to bass solos, and it was just as good as I expected. I also tried a rather modern sound with Calvin Harris' 'Feels', which has a peppy funk tune combining drums, bass guitar mixed with electro samples and the output was just right for a premium speaker.

It does, however, struggles with high frequency when the volume crosses 90%, and you're close to the speaker, but moving to a different room will fix that too.

Mids and highs like vocals, guitar riffs at normal volume sound beautiful. The soundscape is deep and open, so you will have full sound no matter which room it is placed in. Additionally, you get to tweak the equaliser as per your preference using the companion app.

Apart from music, I paired it with my TV to watch movies and I realised it's a perfect replacement for a soundbar, although not the best one for directional sound.

While it is a power-packed speaker, an audiophile might find it hard to accept the high price tag. Remember, the premium you pay is not just for the functionality, but also the grandeur associated with the name and the design. If audio is the only concern, then you can certainly save a lot of money and get a similar-sounding speaker system at one-third of its price, but its artistic form is unmatchable.

Using it as a smart speaker?

The setup process of the speaker is pretty straightforward, but I struggled to set it up initially - first with the Google Home app where it failed to appear in the available devices for some time and then the B&O app where it just didn't show up on the first day.

However, once set up, it functions just like any other smart speaker, operating on Google Assistant. You can ask it to play songs, listen to the news, podcasts, check the weather, control compatible appliances and more. I eventually turned off the Google Assistant using the option as it got a little annoying when you accidentally trigger the assistant. Unlike other smart speakers, this one is very loud and listening to the Google Assistant chime at that volume, and you can't immediately turn it down isn't something most people want.

The mic performance is good unless you turn the volume over the 40-50 mark. After a point, it gets so loud that you will either have to shout at the top of your voice to control it. On the first day I set up the BeoPlay A9 4th gen, ask it to play a song and turned up the volume to 8 and the next thing I remember is running towards the speaker to pull the power plug. It got loud, wasn't catching commands, and I wasn't aware of the physical controls till then. You can also buy a Beo Remote One or Halo separately, but that's another massive expense. 

Yes, there are physical controls hidden at the back of the speaker which can be used to control the volume and tracks.

Connectivity

For a premium speaker, we expect all the popular connectivity options to be available. The highlight is that the speaker comes with a built-in Chromecast for Android devices and Apple AirPlay 2 support. It also has DLNA in case you need a tethered connection apart from Bluetooth, Aux and Wi-Fi. Although, these options might suffice for most users, not including NFC and HDMI was a bummer for me. The app available to help you with controlling your speaker is a little problematic in places. However, once you get used to the functionality, you shouldn’t have a problem. The only connectivity issue I faced during my experience was while pairing the speaker on the B&O companion app. Otherwise, everything else behaved just how it is supposed to.

Verdict: Not your ordinary premium speaker

Delivering the verdict for this speaker is rather easy for me as it is hard to find an alternative that fills the space the BeoPlay A9 has created for itself. Also, at Rs 2,50,000, it is not everyone's speaker as it targets those who want a balance of form and functionality that oozes luxury.

If you're someone who likes everything top-notch and classy and can spend a small fortune on it, this speaker won't disappoint. It will bring the house down at a party, do everything a smart speaker does, and can be a replacement to your soundbar while enhancing the decor of your home.

However, if audio performance is the only concern and design is secondary, you will find alternatives that are much more affordable.

Xiaomi could launch its first foldable phone on March 29, likely to be called Mi Mix 4 Pro

Xiaomi's hosting a launch event on March 29 where the company is set to unveil its Mi 11 Pro and Mi 11 Ultra phones in China. However, it is now being reported that the company will be launching other phones as well at the event. While nothing is confirmed, there's a chance Xiaomi could launch the Mi 11 Lite 4G and Mi 11 Lite 5G too at the event. There's also the possibility that the company may launch the Mi Band 6 at the launch event. But the most interesting device reported to launch on the day will be the Mi Mix 4 Pro. 

Reports coming from China reveal the device has been certified, hinting at the phone's imminent launch. The Mi Mix 4 Pro has been certified with model number M2011J18C, with the C suffix denoting that Xiaomi intends to release it in China. As per the listing, M2011J18C will come with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. For now, not too much is known about Xiaomi's first foldable smartphone. However, it is expected to feature Qualcomm's Snapdragon 888 SoC and a high-refresh-rate display.

Xiaomi foldable phone: Specifications

As per previous leaks, the foldable phone will use a display supplied by China Star Optoelectronics Technology (CSOT) -- a subsidiary of TCL. However, this information courtesy of popular tipster, Ross Young is in contrast with other reports that claim Xiaomi will use Samsung displays for its upcoming foldable phone. The Mi Mix 4 Pro is tipped to be an outward folding phone similar to that of the Huawei Mate XS. This phone will also reportedly comes with a cover display which will be 6.38-inches when folded. 

This is also not the first time we are hearing about Xiaomi foldable phones from Ross Young. In fact, he has in the past claimed the company could release three foldable phones in 2021. No other information about the phones is available, or even the size of the phone. It is speculated that 2021 will be dominated by foldable phones, and it looks like Xiaomi wants to keep pace with other smartphone makers aiming to make the fold.

Realme 8 Pro Review: Good cameras, but are they enough

The Realme 8 Pro is a typical Realme device. It's aggressively priced but does not compromise on specifications or for the matter headline-grabbing features. In the phone's case, this feature is its 108-megapixel-lens-based camera set-up. But apart from the cameras, there's not too much to get excited about. Despite being a typical mid-ranger, which has its upsides and drawbacks. The phone provides decent value for money and overall is a good deal.

 

Over the past year or so, we've seen great democratization in the smartphone space, with phones priced in the affordable segments now packing some high-end hardware and even supporting technologies previously limited to these high-end phones. The latest in the list of such devices is the Realme 8 Pro. 

Plying its trade in the sub Rs 20,000 segment, this device from Realme brings a lot to like. However, its main reason for existence is definitely its quad-camera set-up that's housed inside a square-shaped module. In particular, it's a primary 108-megapixel ISOCELL HM2 sensor that's previously been seen on flagships and more recently on one or two mid-range devices -- including the Redmi Note 10 Pro Max.

We've had the Realme 8 Pro with us for a while now, and over the last few days, we've had the chance to extensively test the cameras of the phone and even compare the results to what looks to be its biggest competition, the Note 10 Pro Max. But before we start talking about the cameras, let's not forget there's a lot more to the Realme 8 Pro than just cameras. 

The phone also brings with it a powerful mid-range chip, decent design, and display. So let's get started with our review of the Realme 8 Pro to find out if the phone's worth your money.

Realme 8 Pro: Cameras

To begin with, the most interesting thing about the Realme 8 Pro is its cameras and that's where we'll start our review. The new Realme phone goes big on optics, as the device comes flaunting a primary 108-megapixel Samsung ISOCELL HM2 sensor. This lens brings support for ISOCELL Plus pixel isolation technology -- which claims to reduce the optics loss and guarantees a higher colour fidelity -- and also offers 9-in-1 Pixel Binning for 108MP shots and improved image quality under low light conditions. 

This lens is sat next to three more cameras, including a 119 ultra-wide-angle 8-megapixel lens with an f/2.25 aperture. There's also a 2-megapixel ultra macro lens and another 2-megapixel B&W lens for helping add details to portrait shots. Honestly, these specs look pretty good on paper, but how do the cameras perform in real life? Well, it's a mixed bag really.

Note: All samples below have been resized for the web. To see the original, full-resolution JPG files, head over to our Flickr Gallery.

To begin with, the primary lens on the Realme 8 Pro performs up to the mark in well-lit situations, with the lens capturing shots with a good amount of detail, but at the software end, the post-processing ensures that colours are boosted but highlights and shadow information is not lost to the eye. While these resultant images are definitely great to look at, and also make for good social media shots with vibrant and punchy colours, they still do not end being shots that are the most colour accurate. 

The phone can also click high-resolution images using the dedicated 108MP mode, which as we found can churn out really nice, detailed images. These shots are sharp across the board, with corners not losing details. Taking a deeper look at these shots shows little loss of detail, and generally crisp data to enhance the depth of the frame. 

The 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens also does a decent job. Detail retention and colours are good in day-light pictures. There's little noise and the pictures look sharp. However, these images show some sign of distortion towards the edges. The phone also comes with an ultra macro lens, that appears to be there just to make up the numbers. While the lens promises a 4cm shooting distance, the images clicked from close up mostly come out out of focus and not particularly great. The level of detail and bokeh effect in the ultra macro shots are at best decent and nothing to really talk home about. 

During our review, we were also impressed by the performance of the camera when it came to portrait shots. Under well-lit situations, portrait mode shots came out with good details, and edge detection. The background blur in these shots is aggressive by default, but it can easily be adjusted by toggling the bokeh effect before clicking shots. 

The low light performance of the phone is above average at best, with the primary 108MP lens proving to be the best when it comes to clicking shots in low light scenarios. The phone does manage to capture enough highlights and shadows even at night, but it does start to lose details in some areas. 

Realme's also added a Night mode inside the camera software which works on both the primary and ultrawide lens. The mode appears to jack up the brightness but not details, which is a clear hint that behind the scenes, night mode on the phone is doing little more than just increasing the exposure. 

Considering the phone comes with the same lens that's also found on the Redmi Note 10 Pro Max, we also compared the camera results of the Realme 8 Pro to those of the Redmi phone and observed a few interesting things. 

While both phones captured plenty of details and managed to handle colours well, Realme 8 Pro managed to bring in more details in shadows and also did not lose out on highlights. Comparing the camera samples, the 108MP mode shots clicked by the Realme 8 Pro also appeared to be just slightly more detailed. 

However, Note 10 Pro Max appeared to click better low light and definitely much better macro shots. Both phones clicked good portrait shots, the Redmi device won the race because of a better depth effect. Edge detection, however, was good for both cameras.

To conclude, Realme's done a good job with the Realme 8 Pro's cameras, and overall the quad-lens set-up manages to mostly stay true to the claims made by the company. Yes, there are areas that the camera performance can still be improved in, but for most parts, the cameras on the Realme 8 Pro do live up to the billing and provide good value for a phone that's being sold at this price point.

  

Realme 8 Pro: Performance and battery 

While the cameras are arguably the biggest USP of the Realme 8 Pro, the core hardware of the phone is also worth taking a good look at. At the heart of the device is the Snapdragon 720G SoC. Fabricated using an 8nm process, this chipset brings a Kryo 465 CPU with two high-performance Cortex-A76 cores at up to 2.3GHz and six high-efficiency Cortex-A55 cores at up to 1.8GHz, along with a new Adreno 618 GPU, which is the same as the one found on the Snapdragon 732G. In comparison to its predecessor, the Snapdragon 720G is claimed to offer 10 percent improvement in CPU performance and up to 75 percent improvement in GPU performance. 

Depending on your variant of choice, this chipset is paired with either 6GB or 8GB of RAM. As we found out during our review, this hardware ensures that the Realme 8 Pro's performance is mostly up to the mark. From multi-tasking to gaming and firing as well as using heavy-duty apps, the experience is almost always buttery smooth. As we mentioned above, the phone handles basic stuff like browsing the web and apps such as Instagram very well, however, we did notice the odd stutter while playing graphics-intensive games like Asphalt 9: Legends. But overall, the performance remained as expected, with no red flags observed during the review of the Realme 8 Pro. 

This was also something backed by the results of the benchmarks we ran to test the phone's hardware. For reference, we got decent scores for both AnTuTu and Geekbench on the device. For the former, the phone scored a respectable 288127 points, while for Geekbench we received scores of 568 and 1677 points on the single and multi-core tests respectively. Another CPU-centric test, PCMark Work 2.0 also threw up a decent score of 8358 points.

 

As for graphics, the benchmark scores weren't the highest, with 3D Mark Wild Life and GFX Bench (Manhattan 3.1) throwing up average scores of 1047 and 1695 points, respectively. Even while playing titles such as Call of Duty Mobile and Asphalt 9 Legends, data collected from Gamebench did not show the phone in the best of light. While Asphalt 9 Legends ran at a median FPS of 30 frames at a stability of 98 per cent, Call of Duty Mobile showed a greater drop in frame rates as the median FPS for the game emerged to be just 53 FPS at stability of 98 per cent.

As for the battery, the phone again does well. The Realme 8 Pro comes with a 4500mAh battery that takes about 50 minutes for a complete charge. Realme also claims that the pack can charge halfway in just 17 minutes, but during our tests, this number was close to 22 minutes. As for battery drain, we are happy to report that the Realme 8 Pro's battery is slow to drain and in our video loop test, the phone went on for about 17 hours before being drained completely. 

Realme 8 Pro: Design 

The design of the Realme 8 Pro is quite basic, which features a back panel with the company's "Dare to Leap" branding message plastered across it. There's also the more subdued Realme logo at the back. And these possibly are the only two elements of the phone's design that I do not like. This honestly is saying a lot considering the back panel and the frame are made out of plastic and not premium materials such as glass or metal. 

While the "Dare to Leap" logo plays spoilsport, the back panel does look premium otherwise. The matte finish panel has been given a rather interesting look using an AG-Crystal process. As a result, the Realme 8 Pro's back panel when looked at from an angle, gives off a really nice shimmer effect that makes it look premium. The matte finish panel also makes the phone easy to hold in the hand, as it improves the grip of the device. Further, the fact that Realme 8 Pro is quite lightweight at 176 grams and is thin at 8.1mm is also something that's a definite tick in the design department. 

The other major element to take note of is the square-shaped camera module that houses four circular lenses inside it. The module also has a dual-tone finish, which adds another layer of sophistication to the design of the device. Holding the phone together in the middle is the plastic frame of the device. It has the usual volume rocker and the power button on the right, with the left of the frame, left clean to enhance the looks of the phone. The 3.5mm jack, the Type-C port and the speaker grille all lie at the bottom of the frame. 

Realme 8 Pro: Display

For display, the Realme 8 Pro gets a 6.4-inch Super AMOLED panel that the company claims uses a special material for improving brightness levels. The panel is rated to display textures at Full HD+ resolution. The display does not support fast refresh rates and works at a standard 60Hz, however, it does support a touch sampling rate of up to 180Hz for improved responsiveness.

Apart from this, the display also supports a DC-like Dimming function and Eye Protection Mode for reducing eye fatigue. Realme also claims the 8 Pro includes sunlight mode of up to 1000 nits to ensure the screen is visible even under harsh sunlight conditions. While this claim is largely true, we found the display truly doesn't reach the peak brightness levels advertised by the company. In our tests, the Realme 8 Pro's display managed to reach a peak luminance of 631 nits while at the lower end, the brightness was 3 nits. Although, it should be noted that these recorded numbers are for brightness across the panel, and not for isolated areas on the display while watching HDR content for a limited time.

Calman Ultimate Colour Checker (sRGB) Calman Ultimate Colour Checker (sRGB)

We also got a much better understanding of the display when we ran it through our suite of Calman display tests. While the Samsung panel used on the phone isn't bad, it definitely isn't one of the most colour accurate ones we've tested in the recent past. In the sRGB mode, the display managed to perform well as it only threw up an average error rate of 2.8 in matching colours. However, when the display was set to DCI-P3 mode for displaying HDR content, this average error rate jumped up to 3.5, with the max error rate going up to 9.3.

The display's lacking in colour accuracy was also exposed in Calman's Colour Volume test, with the panel only managing to hit 87.69 percent of the DCI-P3 colour space when the display was set to HDR tuning. Again, this isn't bad, but certainly not the best in the segment.

Realme 8 Pro review: Conclusion

Make no mistake, the Realme 8 Pro is a typical Realme device. It's aggressively priced but does not compromise on specifications or for the matter headline-grabbing features. In the case of the 8 Pro, one of these is the 108-megapixel-lens at the phone's back. While the primary lens's high-megapixel count can be discounted by some as a gimmick, its results cannot be. Especially in daylight when this lens can click some really well-detailed shots. The only problem is that these high levels of performance are not matched by the other lenses on the device. 

Other than this, the Realme 8 Pro is a typical mid-ranger, which has its upsides and drawback. But, for the price, there's no denying that the Realme 8 Pro is an overall good deal.
