Alongside the Reno3 smartphone, TENAA also published the specs of another OPPO phone with the model number PDBM00. Based on the spec sheet, the phone is a mid-range device and should be priced at around $200.
The phone has a 6.5-inch 720 x 1600 display with a notch at the top. It is powered by a 2.3GHz processor and has 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. Owners will be able to add up to an additional 256GB of storage via a MicroSD card slot.
The OPPO PDBM00 has three cameras on its back. There is a 12MP primary camera and it is paired with an 8MP sensor and a 2MP sensor. We presume the 8MP camera is an ultrawide angle camera while the 2MP sensor is a depth sensor. There is an 8MP camera in front for selfies.

OPPO will ship the phone with Android 9 Pie which is a tad disappointing. It will also include a 4230mAh battery. The OPPO PDBM00 will be available in Black, White, Green, and Red. Its weight is 180 grams and it measures 163.9 x 75.5 x 8.3 millimeters.
TENAA has provided images of the black variant and it shows there is a fingerprint scanner on the back. The phone has its rear cameras sharing the same housing and placed on the left. It also has its power button on the right and volume keys on the left.
We do not know if OPPO will announce this phone on December 26 alongside the Reno3 series or will have a quiet launch for it.
The Reno3 (PDCT00 and PDCM00) was issued its TENAA license on the 11th of December according to the info on the database. The phone has a 6.4-inch AMOLED display with a 2400 x 1080 resolution. We already know it has a waterdrop notch, thanks to press renders.

Under the hood of the Reno3 is the Dimensity 1000L octa-core processor clocked at 2.2GHz and paired with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of non-expandable storage. TENAA says the phone runs Android 10, so it should ship with ColorOS 7.
OPPO is going with a quad-camera setup arranged vertically and placed on the left side of the rear. The primary camera is a 64MP sensor and it is paired with an 8MP ultrawide angle camera, a 2MP macro camera, and a 2MP depth sensor. The selfie camera is a 32MP sensor. The images below show the camera housing has a very noticeable protrusion.
The Reno3 has a fingerprint scanner and it is under the display. It packs a 3935mAh (4025mAh) battery capacity, the same as the Reno3 Pro. It will be interesting to see which phone has better battery life. The dimensions for the phone are 160.3 x 74.3 x 7.96 millimeters and the weight is 181 grams. The Reno3 Pro is thinner at 7.77 millimeters.
[envira-gallery id=”295175″]
The spec sheet says the Reno3 5G supports NSA and SA bands 41, 78, and 79. Of course, there is support for 2G, 3G, and 4G networks too. TENAA says the phone will be available in white, black, silver-red, and silver-blue. However, the images provided are of a pink-blue color gradient.
The Reno3 and Reno3 Pro will be announced on December 26 in China. While Redmi has taken the title of being the first manufacturer to announce a phone powered by the Snapdragon 765G, OPPO will be the first to announce a phone powered by the Dimensity 1000L.
Just like its sibling, Vivo has been blazing the trail in terms of innovation in a bit to outwit the competition. The BBK subsidiaries have in recent times explored designs that are beyond the ordinary as well deployed enhancements in both the software and hardware aspects. Vivo X30 Pro is one of such smartphones that is expected to present with several improvements and the camera aspect is a major rallying point.
Vivo’s product line manager Luan Xinlin has shared what looks like the night time moon shot captured with the X30 Pro main camera. From the picture, we can see that the camera was able to capture the moon clearly with vivid clarity.
The moon capture is possible by the periscope lens the device features. As a reminder, the Vivo X30 Pro is said to be equipped with a quad-camera setup that will include a primary lens of 64-megapixel, teaming up with a 32-megapixel portrait lens, an 8-megapixel superwide lens and a 13-megapixel periscope lens. The quad-camera system is also expected to feature Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) and Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) as well as support for 60x digital zoom.
In other aspects, the is said to pack a Samsung Exynos 980 processor and integrated Mali-G76 MP5 GPU with support for SA/NSA dual 5G modes. The device is expected to be launched on December 16 in China.
Huawei has always been optimistic that its shipment would still surge despite the ban by the US government. Before the ban, Huawei has stated its intent to take on Samsung for the top spot in the smartphone market. That projection may have fallen short of expectation but the latest data from Strategy Analytics shows Huawei’s market share inched closer to that of Samsung this year.
The data as shared by Korean Herald shows that Huawei managed to edge closer to Samsung and narrow the market share gap to 3.6 percent this year. The market share gap between Huawei and Samsung last year was 5.9 percent.
We can’t be so sure about the authenticity of the data since we did not scoop it from Strategy Analytic’s website directly. However, the data shows that Samsung shipped 323 million smartphone units in 2019, accounting for a 21.3 percent share. On the other hand, Huawei shipped 251 million units laying claim to an estimated 17.7 percent share of the market this year, up from 14.4 percent in 2018.
The market data also captured Apple’s market share which places it at the third spot. Huawei toppled Apple in 2018 and that lead continued this year. Apple is said to have shipped an estimated 193 million iPhones this year, accounting for a 13.6 percent share. Apple won’t be losing too much sleep about the shipment numbers, though, as its revenue is still higher than Huawei’s.
Samsung announced its new Galaxy A (2020) series and launched two devices from the new line-up: Samsung Galaxy A71 and A51. The former is the higher-end handset and it has upper-midrange specifications. It is very interesting because of its camera quality and overall performance, so we decided to compare it with another newly-announced device. We are talking about the Redmi K30 in its 4G variant, another potential best-seller, given its very affordable price. Last but not least, we decided to add another device that has already been in the Chinese market for a while: the upper-midrange Oppo K5 with a very well-balanced specs sheet.

Design
Most people, including me, prefer to have a punch-hole display instead of a notch. A punch-hole display is less invasive as it is just a small hole in the screen. And that is what Samsung Galaxy A71 offers, so it is my favorite one if we talk about aesthetics. Even Redmi K30 has a punch-hole design, but it has two holes because it sports a dual front camera. Despite its waterdrop notch, someone may prefer the Oppo K5 due to its cleaner rear design since not everyone likes big camera modules such as the one found on the Samsung Galaxy A71 and Redmi K30. What is your preference?
Display
Here it is a hard fight between Oppo K5 and Redmi K30. The former has a great AMOLED display with high brightness and very nice color accuracy, as well as an in-display fingerprint reader. The latter has an IPS panel and IPS panels are is not trending at the moment, but it has the most revolutionary technologies: it supports both HDR10 and a 120 Hz refresh rate making it the most affordable phone with the highest refresh rate ever seen on a phone. But its fingerprint reader is side-mounted. Samsung Galaxy A71 has a classic Super AMOLED panel, not better than Oppo K5 and Redmi K30.
Specs & Software
Both Oppo K5 and Redmi K30 are powered by the amazing Snapdragon 730G midrange chipset, while Samsung Galaxy A71 is fueled by the lower-end Snapdragon 730 which offers inferior graphics performance. Oppo K5 and Redmi K30 come with up to 8 GB of RAM and UFS 2.1 native storage. With exactly the same hardware department, the most important role will be played by software optimization. We still had no chance to test the Redmi K30 thoroughly, so we are waiting to see how much performing it will be. Note that it runs Android 10 out of the box, unlike Oppo K5.
Camera
The most impressive cameras are mounted on the Samsung Galaxy A71: all of these devices come with a 64 MP main sensor with an f/1.8 focal aperture, but Samsung Galaxy A71 has a better secondary sensor (ultrawide, dedicated macro camera and depth sensor). That is why it wins the camera comparison.
Battery
Samsung Galaxy A71 and Redmi K30 are equipped with a bigger 4500 mAh battery, so they will surely last more than Oppo K5. It remains to be seen which of them is the winner of this comparison. Samsung Galaxy A71 might be better due to a more efficient display, but we are just speculating for now.
Price
Redmi K30 launched in China with a €210/$233 starting price, Oppo K5 costs €255/$283 in its base version, while Samsung still did not confirm the pricing of the Galaxy A71. With the actual information, Redmi K30 looks more promising due to its 120 Hz display, better chipset than Galaxy A71, a bigger battery than Oppo K5 and Android 10 out of the box. But Samsung Galaxy A71 has higher camera capabilities.
Traveling is an exciting hobby or an exciting job if you are doing it for a living. And nowadays, a traveler’s smartphone is his most vital accessory as it allows contact with your loved ones, send/receive emails, book flights, do currency conversion, find your way, etc. The KingKong Mini that was released by Cubot this year would be a perfect companion on your trips according to the company that lists 5 most important features to convince you of that statement.
Small display
We are in the “big phones” era for many years now and the average screen size keeps increasing, especially now that manufacturers found a way to reduce or eliminate bezels. The KingKong Mini moves towards the opposite direction as it comes with a 4″ display that is easily controlled with one hand and it also fits in every pocket size.
Rugged smartphone
Besides its small size, the phone also comes with rugged characteristics. The rugged body makes it almost indestructible when dropped from a few feet high and it also provides waterproofing. It works almost anywhere and under any conditions.
Lightweight
KingKong Mini’s weight is just 123g and it easily beats almost every other smartphone in the market. The low weight not only makes it easy to carry around but also doesn’t hurt your hand if you use it for many hours continuously.
KingKong Mini specs
Under the rugged case, the KingKong Mini comes with an adequately powerful configuration that includes the MediaTek MT671(A22) SoC backed by 3GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage, enough for smooth multitasking. Of course, it is a 4G/LTE phone with WiFi and Bluetooth support, GPS support as well as NFC support, a feature many well-known Chinese manufacturers neglect.
Sensors
Besides the basic hardware, the device also features some very useful sensors the accelerometer that is used to track your steps, a Gyroscope that will offer you incredible 360-degree image spheres, and a Magnetometer that is used by Google Maps and other compass apps to figure out which way you are facing.
Lastly, it comes with dual SIM slots so that you can use 2 different SIM cards at the same time as well as a microSD slot to expand the storage space of the phone.
DxOMark has been testing smartphone cameras for a while, putting them through their comprehensive camera tests and scoring them as they go. Now however they’ve begun testing for audio quality, and the latest device to go through their audio test is the mixed bag that is the Google Pixel 4.
The Pixel 4 manages to score a decent 68 rating, placing it in fifth on their audio quality leaderboard. This is puts it behind the Huawei Mate 20X, iPhone XS Max, iPhone 11 Pro Max and Asus ROG Phone II. It is however ahead of the Galaxy S10, Note 10 and OnePlus 7 Pro. It’s also worth taking these results with a pinch of salt, as DxOMark has only reviewed 10 phones in this category so far.
DxOMark concludes that “While there’s still some room for improvement, the Google Pixel 4 delivers a decent performance in our DXOMARK Audio tests, earning itself a place among the three best Android devices and outperforming such heavyweight competitors as the current Samsung flagships and the OnePlus 7 Pro. For music lovers and avid videographers of family and friends, the Pixel 4 should deliver more than satisfying results.”
It’s a surprisingly good score for the device, which makes its battery situation all the worse. We’re hoping more devices get added to the leaderboards soon, especially devices from companies that put an emphasis on audio performance like LG and Meizu. Perhaps we’ll even see some legacy devices like the HTC One M7 or Nexus 6P.
OnePlus has just teased a special event taking place at CES next year. The company has never been a part of CES till now, so it makes this special event their CES debut. CES is one of the biggest technology trade shows in the world, so for them to want to debut something there now must mean they’ve got something interesting to reveal this time.
Now, the teaser doesn’t really have much information on it. There’s the ”OnePlus Special Event” headline, the dates of their CES display (January 7-10) and the name of the venue. Nothing here really hints at any specific product, so it’s unclear what the company has in store. Even the type of event isn’t clear, it might not even be a conference for all we know.
It’s a little too soon for the OnePlus 8 and 8T, as the mainline series is traditionally launched in May or June, while the T series tends to drop in September to November. It also seems far too soon for a refreshed OnePlus TV series though, as its first range launched in September.
One possibility is that we’re looking at the OnePlus 8 Lite, which was leaked earlier this month. The timing of the announcement fits really well, and a new device is something worth hyping. The teaser also features shades of orange, brown, and yellow, which may be a reference to the company’s line of McLaren special edition devices, though we doubt it.
OnePlus does have a history of hyping announcements in bits and pieces. Therefore, it’s likely we’ll hear more from the manufacturer as we inch closer to CES 2020.
Smart displays are gaining popularity due to their ability to help you out in everyday activities. Google Nest Hub and Amazon Echo Show are popular across multiple markets and now Xiaomi wants to join the party with its own 8-inch smart display. The company officially teased its new Xiaomi Smart Display Pro 8 earlier today, giving us a glimpse of its design as well.
The new teaser confirms the speaker with a display-on-top design that we saw on the leaked box earlier today. So you get an 8-inch tablet mounted on top of a speaker unit. We can’t see the back of the device, but it looks like the speaker extends a bit at the back. Considering its name, the smart display is most likely going to be of 8-inches. We can see a front-facing camera too which confirms its ability to make and receive video calls.
According to the leaked box of the device, the Xiaomi Smart Display Pro 8 will come with high watt speakers with built-in bass boosters, DTS professional tuning, and a high-performance audio amplifier from Texas Instruments, providing high efficiency, low distortion, and advanced multi-band dynamic response control algorithm. It should also come with the company’s XiaoAI smart assistant.
The teaser doesn’t reveal any availability or pricing details for the device, but it is being said that the smart display will be sold for around 599 yuan ($86). We can expect more details in the coming days.
Chuwi is continuously improving the level of product quality and after-sales support they offer. In the last couple of years, they’ve released some amazing products that cover the whole spectrum of the mainstream laptop and tablet market. In addition, they offer added value to their products by releasing accessories like the HiPen H6, their latest stylus that supports 4096 pressure levels. Going on with improving the user experience, the company released a driver update for the HiPen H6. As a reminder, the HiPen H6 can offer quite a delicate drawing experience with 4096 pressure levels so even professionals will not be limited by it. It also has intelligent palm rejection for accurate writing including multi-touch mistakes.
The upgraded version of the driver is 01.03.06 and to install it so that you can get the improved writing experience, just follow the instructions provided by Chuwi:
Copy the file “Phoenix-hid-update” to the tablet, open the file, click twice “ConfigUpdate ” to run. (About 5 seconds)
2. Upgrade has completed when the running interface displays version 01.03.60. Just close the Command line app to finish the update.
Nokia’s rebirth technically happened in China, after HMD Global released its first Android smartphone, the Nokia 6, first in the Chinese market in 2017. China has got a pretty good Nokia lineup, including models like the Nokia 9 Pureview, Nokia 7 Plus, and the Nokia X7. Even feature phones like Nokia 8110 4G and Nokia 3310 4G have been launched in the Chinese market. Now, the company is launching a couple more feature phones in the region, the Nokia 2720 Flip and the Nokia 800 Tough.
HMD Global has officially teased the arrival of the Nokia 2720 Flip and 800 Tough via its official Weibo page. The company will announce the devices on December 16 at 10 AM in the Chinese market. We have already spotted the product pages for both the devices on the official Nokia website in China but it is yet to be updated with details like pricing and availability.
We knew Nokia 2720 Flip was heading to China after it cleared the TENAA certification a few days back. The phone passed the certification under the model number Nokia TA-1170 and came with the same specs and design as the international version. This included a 2.8-inch 320 x 240-pixel internal display, a 1.3-inch 240 x 240-pixel external display, 512MB RAM, 4GB of ROM, a 2MP camera at the back, and a 1500mAh removable battery. The phone will support 4G LTE and Wi-Fi.
TENAA further reveals that the Nokia 2720 Flip will run on KaiOS 2.5.2, however, you won’t likely have pre-installed apps like Whatsapp or Facebook, unlike the international variant. Both, the 2720 Flip and Nokia 800 Tough were announced at IFA 2019 with KaiOS and Google Assistant on board. The 2720 Flip got a really gorgeous RED color variant a couple of weeks back.
The Nokia 2720 Flip was announced at €89 in Europe while the Nokia 800 Tough retailed at €110. So, expect both these models to be priced below 900 yuan when it launches in China next week.
Smart home gadgets are fast becoming a trend in most homes. But with such internet-connected gadgets, security becomes a challenge due to the activities of hackers. That was the experience of a Texas-based US couple who had their home security cameras breached by hackers. The hackers demanded 50 Bitcoin which is estimated to be worth $400,000. But the plain old battery removal came to the rescue.
Tania Amador, a 28-year-old who lives in Grand Prarie just outside Dallas, gave a video to local news which reportedly showed that her Ring security system had been hacked by cryptocurrency hungry scammers who demanded 50 Bitcoin (around $400,000 rounded up).
Amador told WFAA; “I was asleep and our Ring alarm was going off like an intruder had entered our home. Then we heard a voice coming from our camera.” She disclosed the voice said “Ring support! Ring Support! We would like to notify you that your account has been terminated by a hacker.” Apart from demanding a 50 Bitcoin ($400,000) payment, the hacker threatened Amador by saying that she will be terminated herself if she doesn’t oblige. “Pay this 50 Bitcoin ransom or you will get terminated yourself,” they said. The hackers even managed to gain control of her Ring doorbell to make it appear that they were outside her home. Amador and her boyfriend had to take the batteries out of the hijacked cameras, shutting off the hacker.
A Google search shows that this isn’t an isolated case as several persons have reported similar hacking of their Ring cameras. Motherboard report recently found that there is software available specifically designed to hack Ring cameras which cost as little as $6.
Amazon’s Ring has since responded to the incident. The home security company told WFAA and Amador that the hacks were a result of a third-party data breach in which Ring account details were exposed. This was not a result of Ring’s security being breached or compromised, it said.
Whatever the cause is, the breach once again reminds us that our smart home gadgets can be hacked easily. So, it is best you change your password regularly and avoid granting phone access to third-party apps that are not trusted.
OnePlus is always known for its premium yet affordable flagship smartphones and lag-free user interface. The Chinese smartphone company recently launched the OnePlus 7T and OnePlus 7T Pro with Snapdragon 855+ chipset and few more advancements over the OnePlus 7 series. Alike all its smartphones OnePlus is recruiting closed beta testers for the newly launched OnePlus 7T series.
The Closed Beta Program of OnePlus is the group of testers who always remain close to the OnePlus team in building and testing new OxygenOS features for the smartphones. The Closed Beta Program brings multiple monthly updates to the testers. It is even called alpha stage testing or early-stage testing group. It is an elite group of testers getting features and builds weeks or months before the official stable release. Later, the refined build is moved for Open Beta testing that everyone can install.
OnePlus is accepting 250 people in Closed Beta Program of OnePlus 7T series testing. The interested user should fulfil these requirements before applying for the closed beta tester. Sometimes, the users have to clean flash the build resulting in loss of data.
The tester should have a OnePlus 7T series device which are not locked to any network.
He/ She should be an active OnePlus community member.
The tester should provide constant feedback to the OnePlus team on Slack about the bugs, features and updates.
Before entering the closed testing group, the user is required to sign an NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) with the company.
It is not advised to participate if the same device is your daily driver. The overall experience will be buggy and may lead to loss of data in several instances. Still, if you’re interested in getting the latest features and want to try your luck, then head over to the Source link below.
In an attempt to increase the screen size and to keep up with the bezel-less design trend started off by Essential Phone and iPhone X, smartphone OEMs have adopted the notched-display design for the past few years. The trend seems to be nearing its end as punch-hole design continues to gain ground.
Display notches are essentially a cut-out, at the top, of a part of the smartphone’s display. With display notches, smartphone OEMs are able to provide maximum screen space without abandoning the critical hardware at the top, such as the Selfie Camera, Receiver Speaker, other Sensor, LED Indicators. However, the design style has often come under criticism for distorting the display symmetry of the phones but that did not stop the rapid rise of the design. In less than 4 years after its adoption, the steady shift to punch-hole design has come under scrutiny. Realme‘s product director Wang Wei Derek offered some reasons why OEMs seem to be shifting to punch-hole design.
Mr Wang stated that one of the reasons for the shift is aesthetic fatigue of the waterdrop notch by users and manufacturers alike. In other words, we all are getting tired of the design style. Thus, the change in design pattern is a way of attracting users’ attention and improve market competitiveness.
Another reason he adduced is the popularity of the pop-up camera design among users who love to have that immersive full-screen design unobstructed by a notch of any sort. However, the punch-hole design is the closest and cheapest way to achieve the notch-less design without using a pop-up camera design. Manufacturers have to think of an alternative based on the cost of pop-up design and need for 5G phones with demand for a big battery.
In case you are at a fix why most of the punch-hole designs aren’t a single-hole design, Wang suggested what OEMs consider before going for a wide or single punch-hole.
1. Function-oriented: The purpose is nothing more than improving the user’s functional experience, such as adding a wide-angle camera to enhance the group selfie shooting experience. The design also allows for the adding of smart sensors to assist in the smart operation of mobile phones. Also, a Bokeh camera could also be added to give blur effects to selfies among other reasons.
2. Appearance-oriented: In terms of appearance, the single punch-hole design is usually more visually appealing. No doubt about this but some features have to be sacrificed like a powerful selfie camera.
With the current pace, most of the smartphones next year will likely have the punch-hole design, especially as OLED punch-hole displays are not being supplied by Chinese display manufacturers. Do you agree? Let us know what you think in the comment section.
WSJ confirmed that the Phase One deal has been finalized! It covers Agriculture, Intellectual Property Protection, Tech Transfer, Financial Opening and Currency.
After several rounds of tariffs on Chinese and U.S. made products in their respective markets, China and the U.S. have finally come very close to a mini trade deal. This news should come as a relief to companies based in both the markets as it will reduce as well as eliminate the new set of tariffs expected to be imposed on goods from China starting December 15.
The U.S. President Trump tweeted yesterday night that the U.S. was getting “VERY close to a BIG DEAL with China”. The exact details of the deal are not yet official, but the U.S. has reportedly agreed to scale back some of its existing tariffs on Chinese goods. The deal would also remove the next round of tariffs that would have hit another $150 billion worth of Chinese goods from December 15. In return, China will pledge in writing to purchase $50 billion worth of U.S. agricultural goods, among other items in 2020.
The upcoming round of U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods starting December 15 would have been damaging to both the countries. It included essential consumer goods such as smartphones, gaming consoles, computer monitors, and even clothing and footwear. On the same day, China would have imposed its own set of tariffs on American made goods such as automobiles, auto parts, corn, wheat, small aircrafts, among other items.
While this Phase I trade pact is almost official from the U.S. side, we are yet to hear an official announcement from the Chinese authorities. We won’t have to wait too long though, as an official statement or an absence of one before December 15 would confirm the status of the deal.
Huawei Mate 30 Pro is one of the best smartphones in the market today but does not come with Google apps because of the U.S. BAN
Note that this phase one trade deal is unlikely to decide Huawei‘s fate who’s currently on the U.S. entity list. This deal is more focused on working out an amicable agreement before the next round on hefty tariffs that’ll come into effect this Sunday, which will be damaging for both the markets.
If “Cheap 5G phones” should rank today as a popular keyword in search engines, the Redmi K30 would be at the number one position as it stands today. Xiaomi‘s independent Redmi brand launched the K30 in a 5G and 4G versions a couple of days back and aside from the retinue of features packed inside the model, the starting price tag of 1,999 yuan ($284) for the 6GB+64GB 5G version makes the model a deal sealer. Well, that is if you don’t mind not having an OLED screen. Feast your eyes on the hands-on pictures of the Redmi K30 5G scooped up from Chinese blogs.
Do note that the 5G and 4G versions come with the same design. The 5G-enabled Snapdragon 765G onboard is the main feature which distinguishes both versions. The K30 4G packs a Snapdragon 730G SoC.

The HDR 10 complaint display produces a tall aspect ratio of 20:9 and offers full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels. It is the first Redmi phone to arrive with support for 120Hz refresh rate which not only promises smoother scrolling but also stutter-free gaming experience.
The K30 5G is the first smartphone ever to feature the all-new Snapdragon 765G gaming-centric 5G chipset. The new SoC brings support for dual-mode 5G connectivity on the Redmi K30 5G.
At the rear aspect, the Redmi K30 emerge as the first model to feature the brand new Sony IMX686 64MP sensor in a quad-camera arrangement. The other sensors include an 8MP ultrawide lens with 120-degree field-of-view, a 5MP macro lens and a 2MP depth assist lens. The punch-hole up front houses a 20MP + 2MP AI-enabled dual camera setup.
Other features include a 4,500mAH battery with support for 30W fast charging, dual-SIM support, Wi-Fi 802.11ac, Bluetooth 5.0, dual-band GPS, and IR blaster. Others include NFC, Hi-Res Audio, 1217 super line speaker with Smart PA loudspeaker, USB-C, 3.5mm audio jack and a side-mounted fingerprint reader.
