Jun 11, 2020

Taiwanese phone maker HTC used to deliver good quality smartphones in the past but the company has long fallen off the pecking order. HTC is no longer a force to reckon with, as Chinese firms like Xiaomi, Realme, Vivo have pushed it off the cliff. The company is still making some attempt at grabbing a piece of the pie and will launch a new Desire 20 Pro smartphone on June 16.

The images show both the front and rear aspects and align well with the schematics which leaked back in April. the device packs a quad-camera setup at the rear as well as a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor. The rear panel has a glossy finish which looks like it is made from glass.

The front aspect shows a display panel slightly curved on all sides. The device also utilises a punch-hole design located at the top left corner.

The Desire 20 Pro is a mid-range smartphone which is expected to feature a 6.5-inch LCD with FHD+ resolution.

Exclusive: Protective case for the iPhone 12 6.1″ leaks revealing the design

By

Jun 11, 2020

Apple‘s 2020 iPhone models are said to include four different models but in actual sense, the models will come in three display sizes. The iPhone 12 series will feature a 5.4-inch, two 6.1-inch variants and a larger 6.7-inch model. The protective case of the 6.1-inch iPhone models have appeared online and it leaves clues of the design. The leak source also confirm the three sizes the next-gen iPhone model will come in.

The protective case is on display alongside the front render of the device. We can expect to see a notch design on this year’s iPhone 12. Apple entered the notch trend back in 2018 with the launch of the iPhone X. As is usual with the US tech giant, the iPhone X’s display notch didn’t just house the front camera and earpiece, it also holds an array of cutting-edge sensors: there’s an infrared camera, flood illuminator, proximity sensor, ambient light sensor, and dot projector. These are all essential to enable Apple’s secure Face ID authorization system and TrueDepth camera. The iPhone 12 series notch may also bring an array of cutting-edge sensors at the front cut out.

The protective case reveals a square-shaped cut-out at the rear that is due to the shape of the camera module. Going by previous rumour, this is likely the iPhone 12 Pro which will have a triple camera setup and a Lidar sensor at the rear. The 6.1-inch iPhone 12 is rumoured to feature a dual rear camera setup and that won’t likely be on a square-shaped module.

Apple is yet to say when the iPhone 12 series will be launched but there are speculations the launch may take place in October or November. We expect more details of the models to emerge as time goes on.

Adobe Photoshop Camera is a new filter app for iOS and Android

By

Jun 11, 2020

Adobe has a plethora of mobile apps for both Android and iOS. Adding to the list, the firm has published a new app called Photoshop Camera on App Store and Google Play Store.

The new Adobe app is unlike any other mobile application by the company. It is targeted at social media users who frequently use filters.

The Photoshop Camera app can be simply termed as any other third-party camera filter app. It offers a number of lenses as well as filters and even lets users edit their clicked pictures to some extent.

This is a perfect app for those who love Photoshop creative edits but do not have a skillset for them. Thus, in a way, Adobe is trying to lure potential customers for its ecosystem with its new app.

Though the app is good and all, it competes directly with popular social media like Snapchat and Instagram who have been regularly adding new filters and lenses for its users for years.

To make a breakthrough, an app should be first accessible to all the users. Unfortunately, right off the bat, Adobe Photoshop Camera is not available for all the Android devices. It is currently limited to the latest Samsung Galaxy handsets and Google Pixels.

Only time will tell if this application will be a success. A dedicated app for filters and lenses is a tough idea to sell. Even the most trending apps in recent times, Prisma did not last for a long time.

Snapdragon 865 Plus scores over 650K on AnTutu

Jun 11, 2020

News of the Snapdragon 865 Plus first surfaced back in mid-February. Then in April, Meizu’s CMO said there will be no such chipset this year. However, things seem to have changed as the upcoming Lenovo Legion gaming smartphone is said to be powered by the Snapdragon 865 Plus. Today, an AntuTu benchmark result of the chipset has been posted on the web.

The benchmark result was posted on Weibo by Really Assen, the same source that revealed yesterday that OPPO’s SuperVOOC 3.0 will support 80W fast charging.

Qualcomm’s upcoming processor scored a total of 667,253 points. This is way higher than the score of the Snapdragon 865-powered OPPO Find X2 Pro which has a score of 604,123 according to AnTuTu’s May 2020 Best Performing Android devices.

A breakdown of the score shows the CPU score is 184,973 points while the GPU score is 283,302 points. The memory and UX scores are 112,050 and 86,928 points respectively.

The Snapdragon 865+ has been reported to have a prime core clocked at 3.1GHz, three performance cores clocked at 2.4GHz, and four efficiency cores clocked at 1.8GHz. Compared to the Snapdragon 865, the only difference is the clockspeed of the prime core which has been increased.

Going by the first leak in February by Digital Chat Station, the Snapdragon 865 Plus should be announced in Q3 2020, so July at the earliest. Other than Lenovo’s Legion gaming smartphone, other manufacturers should also launch phones powered by the chipset in the second half of the year.

Unlike OPPO that promised this month, Xiaomi and POCO didn’t say when users should expect it. Also, seeing as the POCO F2 Pro will be getting Android 11 Beta 1, we expect the Redmi K30 Pro should get it too.

There are still a number of manufacturers we expect to make their own announcements such as OnePlus and Vivo. We hope they do so before the end of the week.

Jun 11, 2020

Chinese tech giant Xiaomi officially took the wraps off the much-anticipated Mi Band 5 in China earlier today (June 11). The Mi Band 5 is the successor to the popular Mi Band 4 which raked in a lot of sales for the tech giant.

As an upgrade, you may like to know all the new features that the new smart wearable brings with it. Here is a Xiaomi Mi Band 5 vs Mi Band 4 comparison table which outlines all the differences between both smart bands and the new features onboard the Mi Band 5.

The most conspicuous difference between the Mi Band 5 and Mi Band 4 is the display size. The new fitness band sports a bigger 1.1-inch AMOLED dynamic color display as against 0.95-inch AMOLED screen on the Band 4. The number of exercise modes is also upgraded from just 6 on the Band 4 to 11 on the Mi Band 5. The new additional models include cycling, jump rope, yoga, elliptical and rowing machine.

The Mi Band 5 also comes with over 100 theme sets while on the previous model there is an equally impressive 77 sets of themes. Both smart bands share the same ATM5 water resistance which means they can withstand being kept underwater up to a depth of 50m.

Sadly, the standard Mi Band 5 version doesn’t support NFC. Just like the Mi Band 4, there is an NFC version which costs more than the standard version. The NFC version retains the same attributes as the Mi Band 4 NFC but it now gets support for UnionPay payment in addition to the others. There were rumours of the global variant coming with support for Amazon Alexa and Google Pay. We’ll have to wait for the global launch event to find out about that.

These features are all absent on the Mi Band 4 and are tailored towards improving our health and lifestyle. In addition, the new wrist band now supports 24-hour sleep monitoring and REM (Rapid eye movements) detection.

Finally, the Xiaomi Mi Band 5 utilises a new magnetic snap-on charger as against the problematic charging dock that was used on the Mi Band 4.

The Mi Band 5, which will likely launch as Mi Smart Band 5 outside China, will be available at 189 yuan (~$27) while the NFC version retails for 229 yuan (~$32). It will go on sale in China on June 18, 2020.

Light, the company behind Nokia 9 PureView cameras quits smartphone industry

Jun 11, 2020

Light is the company behind the penta-camera setup on Nokia 9 PureView. The firm came into the spotlight when it launched its L16 camera in 2015. It entered the smartphone segment during the development of HMD Global’s 2019 flagship. Now, in 2020, Light has revealed Android Authority that it has quit this industry.

The camera tech firm’s L16 camera was not much of success just like the Nokia 9 PureView. But soon after the launch of the handset, Light announced a separate partnership with Xiaomi and Sony respectively.

With Xiaomi, it was supposed to develop camera tech for smartphones. Whereas with Sony, it had plans to work with its mobile camera sensors.

But now, as the company has announced to exit the smartphone industry, it is not sure if the above-mentioned partnerships will be continued. Light is yet to give an official statement on the same.

Light had great ambitions for smartphones but its execution was not good enough and thus received poor reviews from media as well as end-users. In fact, the Finnish phone brand has still not released a successor to its last flagship smartphone.

Jun 11, 2020

Xiaomi announced the Mi Band 5 earlier today and it is its best smartband it has made, at least based on its specs and design. With a price tag of ¥189/~$27 (¥229/~$32 for the NFC version), it is also pretty affordable. However, if your budget is a bit lower, you can grab the Mi Band 4 which has now received an official price cut.

Starting today, the Mi Band 4 standard edition will sell for ¥149 (~$21) while the NFC version will sell for ¥179 (~$25). Both used to sell for ¥169 (~$24) and ¥229 (~$32) respectively. Of course, these are the official prices, so third-party sellers may not cut down theirs immediately.

The Mi Band 4 is still a good buy if you want an inexpensive fitness tracker. It has a 0.95-inch AMOLED display with a 240 x 120 resolution. The screen is covered with 2.5D glass and there are dozens of watch faces to choose from. The band is water-resistant up to 50 meters, has a heart rate sensor and supports 6 sports modes.

Other features include notification alerts, sedentary reminders, music playback control, and the ability to unlock your Windows computer. You can read our review to know how well it works.

Huawei struggles to shift production to China as reluctant suppliers face risks

By

-

Jun 11, 2020

Huawei is apparently struggling with its process to shift crucial parts of its production to China. According to a new report, a few of its suppliers are reluctant to shift operations, especially with uncertainty clouding the semiconductor industry.

The Chinese tech giant has been actively working to get more of its supply chains into China. This arrives after the company faces increasing scrutiny from the US government, which recently cut off its smartphones’ chip supply from TSMC. The shift would, therefore, ease its process of sourcing and help keep US pressure away, although, the same idea might not be welcomed by a few of its key suppliers.

At the moment, one of the most important supply aspect Huawei is focusing on is its chip supply, with the chip packaging and testing being the last step in manufacturing semiconductor components. In other words, the company wanted its chip suppliers to shift the base of operations to China to avoid future US sanctions against it. Furthermore, Huawei is also bringing on board second tier domestic suppliers to boost localization efforts to develop the semiconductor industry in China.

Notably, the company is only accepting new suppliers if their production sites are in China. Unfortunately, this shift may be easier said than done due to various key factors. The Coronavirus pandemic is one such important reason, since avoiding bold moves at this point, and building a strong base is a safer move for suppliers. Similarly, the shift may also involve certain geopolitical risks as well.

According to a source, “the global pandemic which already hit demand as well as the U.S. strong hostility against Huawei have weakened suppliers’ incentive to swiftly address the Chinese company’s push.” Additionally, “there are suppliers who also need to address their U.S. semiconductor clients’ requests to produce outside of China over security reasons, so they chose not to expand their Chinese capacity.” So, while the move would be beneficial for Huawei, the process is complex and could negatively impact the suppliers.

Jun 11, 2020

Earlier today (11th June 2020), LG Display announced that it plans on developing stretchable displays by 2023. So, we can expect to see the new technology to soon become a reality within the next few years.

The South Korean tech giant made the announcement after it was tasked to develop the futuristic technology for a national R&D project. This project will be a cooperative effort with over 20 companies, institutions, and universities. The goal for LG Display is to develop a display product that can be stretched by up to 20 percent. In other words, we may soon see more robust displays that can be stretched and folded in the near future.

This technology also has great potential in terms of its possible application. It could be seen in small consumer electronics gadgets like smartphones, or even in commercial spheres in billboards. A notable example of its use was within an aircraft cabin display for the passengers.

Foldable or flexible panels are already a reality, despite sounding far fetched quite recently. This is indicative of the technological advancements and immense innovation within different fields. Display technology is all around us and plays an integral part in our digital world. So let us know about the interesting ways you think this technology could impact our lives in the comments section down below.

Jun 11, 2020

Samsung is raining budget smartphones this year and it is a good move given the current situation. Last year, the brand discontinued Galaxy J series and replaced it with new Galaxy M and revamped Galaxy A series. The former is priced aggressively as it is mostly available exclusively online. Now, according to Geekbench listings, the brand may soon unveil Galaxy M51, which has been under the leak radar since December 2019.

The Galaxy M series helped Samsung gain market share in the Indian online smartphone market, which is primarily dominated by Xiaomi. This series has been doing well with a better price to performance ratio than previous devices from the brand.

Unfortunately, the recently launched Galaxy M11 is the most underwhelming handset in the series till date. But the company could uplift its image with the upcoming Galaxy M51 as the specs seem interesting, at least on paper.

The handset was benchmarked multiple times on Geekbench. In the test, we attached above, the Galaxy M51 scores 546 and 1784 points for single-core and multi-core respectively.

According to the listing, the phone will come with model number SM-M515F and will run Android 10. The motherboard mentioned is sm6150, which is the port number of Qualcomm Snapdragon 675. Lastly, it will feature 8GB RAM.

As per the previous leak, the phone will sport a quad-camera setup consisting of 64MP ISOCELL Bright GW1 primary sensor. It will also have a 128GB variant and is expected to launch in late June or early July.
