Ni Fei teases next-gen Nubia Z series phone is coming soon

The Nubia Z series has been missing from the smartphone scene since the last model, the Nubia Z20 was announced back in August 2019. If you have been waiting for a successor, Ni Fei, the president of mobile devices at ZTE, has confirmed that a new model is on the way.

The top executive took to Weibo to reveal that the next generation Nubia Z series will be coming soon. The Weibo post also included a poll that asked fans what upgrades they expect. From the options, it is safe to assume the poll is a teaser for the upgrades the new phone will bring.

Nubia Z series 2021

A lot has happened since the release of the Nubia Z20 and the smartphone space is now even more competitive. However, knowing Nubia, we can be sure the New Nubia Z series smartphone will have its own unique features that will give it an edge over the competition.

At the moment, we do not know what the new phone will be called. Will it be called Nubia Z21 so that it syncs with the year 2021 or will it be called Nubia Z30? Let us know what you think in the comment box below.

Also, we have no information about the number of phones that will be announced. While there was only one Nubia Z20 phone, its predecessor, the Nubia Z18 had a mid-range model that launched as the Nubia Z18 Mini and it was even announced before the flagship arrived months later.

Another important question is if the new Nubia Z series phone will have a dual-screen design like the Nubia Z20? With key Chinese manufacturers set to announce a foldable smartphone this year, maybe Nubia will surprise us too. If it does launch a foldable with an inward folding design, it can still be called a dual-screen phone, right?

Realme 8 vs Realme 8 Pro vs Realme 8 5G: Specs Comparison

Realme 8 Pro was the first model to hit the global market and it came alone, initially. But after a few weeks, two other handsets from the same lineup have been launched globally: the vanilla Realme 8 and the Realme 8 5G. Now, the 8 series for the global market consists of three different models, two of which are sold with the same price tag. Which is the best one and which one should you choose depending on your needs? This specs comparison will clear your ideas.

BATTERY 5000 mAh, 30W fast charging 4500 mAh, 50W fast charging 5000 mAh, fast charging 18W
ADDITIONAL FEATURES Dual SIM slot Dual SIM slot Dual SIM slot, 5G

Design

The Realme 8 Pro has the sleekest design of the trio. Thanks to its smaller battery, the phone has a thinner body and it is even lighter than Realme 8 and Realme 8 5G. This is the only reason making the Pro version better than the other two models of the lineup because the rest of the design is similar and the materials used are the same.

 

Display

Realme 8 and 8 Pro have exactly the same display, which is actually better than the panel found on the Realme 8 5G. We are talking about a Super AMOLED panel showing vivid colors and absolute blacks, with a Full HD+ resolution, a standard refresh rate, and a peak brightness up to 1000 nits. The display also comes with an integrated fingerprint scanner for authentication. The Realme 8 5G has a 90 Hz refresh rate, but in this case, we are talking about an IPS panel. In each case, you get the Full HD+ resolution with 1080 x 2400 pixels, but the Realme 8 5G has a side-mounted fingerprint reader.

 

Hardware/Software

The most satisfying processor in terms of performance is the one provided by the Realme 8 Pro, which is powered by the Snapdragon 720G mobile platform. The chip is built at 8 nm and it comes with very high GPU performance. But it lacks 5G, so you might prefer the slightly lower performance offered by the Relame 8 5G because it provides 5G support. Further, the Dimensity 700 is built with a 7 nm production process. The phones all run Android 11 out of the box, customized by Realme UI 2.0.

 

Camera

The king of camera phones in the Realme 8 series is the Realme 8 Pro because of its main camera: a Samsung ISOCELL HM2 sensor with a 108 MP resolution and the in-sensor zoom technology. It captures a higher level of detail and provides better overall photo quality. Right after, we got the Realme 8 with its 64 MP rear camera. The Realme 8 5G is the most disappointing one: besides having an inferior 48 MP main camera, it lacks the ultrawide sensor too, unlike Realme 8 and 8 Pro.

 

Battery

Realme 8 Pro loses the battery comparison and Realme 8 is the longest-lasting battery phone of the trio. It has a 5000 mAh battery and a Super AMOLED display instead of the IPS panel found on the Realme 8 5G, which reduces energy consumption. Realme 8 Pro is the best when it comes to fast charging, thanks to a power of 50W.

 

Realme 8 vs Realme 8 Pro vs Realme 8 5G: Price

Realme 8 and Realme 8 5G are priced at €199/$240 in the global market (base variants), while you need €279/$337 to get the Realme 8 Pro. If we exclude the absence of 5G connectivity, the Realme 8 Pro is definitely the most interesting one, but it costs more. Between Realme 8 and 8 5G, the first is better due to its AMOLED display, better cameras, and faster charging: Realme 8 5G has the same price just because of the chipset and 5G connectivity.

Four new Motorola Edge phones are in the works, one will have a 108MP camera

The Motorola Edge family is about to get bigger. The line which made its debut last year with the Edge and Edge Plus, got a China-exclusive model called the Edge S early this year. Now, details of four new models have surfaced on the web.

Evan Blass (@evleaks) shared an image that revealed that Motorola has three new smartphones for the Edge lineup in development.  The image which was shared on Twitter earlier today mentions the phones are codenamed “Sierra”, “Berlin”, “Berlin NA”, and “Kyoto”.

The folks at Techniknews in partnership with Adam Conway of XDA Developers have confirmed the existence of these devices and have even gotten the camera details of the model codenamed “Kyoto”.

According to them, the phone will have a 108MP (S5KHM2) main camera, the same type supplied by Samsung that is found inside the recently announced Moto G60 smartphone. This sensor will be paired with an 8MP camera (S5k4h7), also supplied by Samsung, that pulls double duty as an ultrawide angle camera and a macro camera. The third camera is a 2MP OmniVision (Ov02b1b) depth sensor while the front-facing camera is either a 16MP (ov16a1q) sensor or a 32MP (ov32b) sensor.

The source revealed that “Kyoto” will most likely be the cheapest of the lot while “Berlin” and “Sierra” will be the successors to the Motorola Edge and Edge Plus respectively. We can expect more details to surface in the weeks/months leading up to their launch.

Apple TV will reportedly soon launch in Mainland China

The Apple TV is apparently set for an imminent launch in China. The company has reportedly received the required regulatory approval to official release in Mainland China as per new reports.

Apple TV 4K

According to a Weibo blogger, a Chinese microblogging website, @Voooolks (Via MacRumors) the Cupertino based giant has received approval from China’s State Administration of Press and Publication, Radio, Film, and Television to launch the Apple TV in the country. The news arrives after the iPhone maker was recently rumored that the product was under review by the state agency. Furthermore, the launch in China is set to arrive just a week after the company announced the new and more powerful Apple TV.

For those unaware, the brand announced the latest iteration of its product with the more powerful A12 Bionic chipset and a redesigned TV remote. Notably, China has strict rules regarding the flow of content within its borders. Thus, international firms that wish to sell to Chinese customers need to adhere to strict regulations and follow the local law agencies. So, if the Apple TV launches in the region, it would be limited in functionality apart from its basic features.

Additionally, content available on the platform would also be different as popular channels and applications like Netflix, YouTube, Hulu, and other online streaming services are not available in the region due to local law. But despite the limited scope, the company aims to expand its user base in the region, which CEO Tim Cook believes is an increasingly important market.

Samsung Galaxy S21 FE battery capacity and codename revealed

The Samsung Galaxy S21 FE is in the news for the past few weeks.

A new report by GalaxyClub reveals the codename and battery capacity of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S21 FE. According to the publication, this smartphone codenamed R9 will be backed by a 4,500mAh battery. 

The battery inside the phone with model number EB-BG990ABY will have a rated capacity of 4,370mAh. This particular battery is associated with the Galaxy S21 FE because of the handset’s model number – SM-G990B.

According to previous reports, the Galaxy S21 FE will feature a similar design as the Galaxy S21. It will flaunt a 6.4-inch display with a centered punch-hole. Hence, it will measure 155.7 x 71.45 x 7.9mm in dimensions. In other words, it will be larger than the Galaxy S21 but smaller than its predecessor Galaxy S20 FE.

Lastly, the Galaxy S21 FE will sport the same 32MP selfie camera as found on the Galaxy A52/A72 and will be available in five colors (grey/silver, green, pink, purple, white). It is expected to go official at a Galaxy Unpacked event on August 19.

Redmi K40 gets the MIUI 12.5 update in China

Redmi launched the Redmi K40 series consisting of three devices in late February. The Redmi K40 is the most affordable model in the Redmi K40 series sold in China. Despite that, it has become the first device in the lineup to receive the MIUI 12.5 update.

Redmi k40 Review 01

MIUI 12.5 is the latest version of Xiaomi’s mobile operating system. It is an incremental update to last year’s MIUI 12. The new iteration brings performance and security enhancements, in addition to other minor changes here and there.

That said, the Redmi K40 MIUI 12.5 update in China arrives with build number V12.5.2.0.RKHCNXM. It is currently in the ‘Stable Beta’ phase. In simpler words, this update is only live for a select few users.

However, it will be available for all users in the coming days. This will happen only if the early adopters don’t face any major issues. If there are some annoying bugs, then Xiaomi will release a new build and it will go through this very same process again.

Having said that, the Redmi K40 is sold as POCO F3 and Mi 11X in global markets. Since the original phone has received the MIUI 12.5 update, we can expect the international versions to get it very soon.
