The world of tech was marked by several news events during the week of February 12. Already, and without much surprise, the inferiority of the European Galaxy S24 has been proven; also, the smartphone driving license has been generalized; and finally, Realme marked its return with a brand new affordable phone to compete with Xiaomi’s Redmi.
The Galaxy S24s under Exynos are struggling
The Galaxy S24 and S24 Plus sold in Europe with the Exynos chip show significantly lower performance than their American counterparts equipped with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. As was already the case before. Supported tests, the Exynos version displays reduced autonomy and notable overheating, highlighting the significant difference with the Snapdragon version.
Smartphone driving licenses are becoming more widespread
The driving license can now be added digitally to smartphones via the France Identity application, simplifying road checks using NFC technology. This innovation promises significant time savings for users and law enforcement. The application also allows you to generate proof of driving and will soon include the registration document and insurance in digital version.
Realme, the return
Realme announces its return to France with the launch of a new smartphone (the Realme C67), after having been very discreet in 2023. The brand, known for its ambition to compete directly with Xiaomi’s Redmi, should seek to strengthen its presence in the French market, suggesting increased competition in the affordable smartphone segment.
