Chrome OS was once counted amongst the lightest operating systems for portable computers. However, that quickly changed as Android apps came into the picture. The hardware on previous-generation Chromebooks proved insufficient for high-performance applications. The Chromebook x360 is, however, a different story. Boasting of superior hardware components offering higher performance, a lightweight and thin form factor, and slim bezels, the HP Chromebook x360 is a stunner! The device features a 360-degree hinge that quickly transforms the laptop into a tablet on-the-go.

Ulefone Armor 7 48MP Triple Camera review (video)

The latest rugged flagship of Ulefone -Armor 7- is already on the market for some time now. The Armor 7 features a 48MP triple rear camera with AI support, night shot, and telephoto lens as well as a 16MP selfie shooter. Today, the Chinese manufacturer released a video to demonstrate the phone’s camera capabilities. Let’s watch it.

In the video we can see the main camera having a pretty decent dynamic range and colors are very close to the original. The 48MP sensor offers detailed photos with low noise and even if you zoom in, photos come out just fine. Also, the AI scene recognition can intelligently detect many kinds of scenes and automatically adjust the brightness, contrast, and saturation, making shooting effortless.

Ulefone Armor 7

The 16MP Night Shot camera isn’t bad either. Of course, it can’t reach expensive flagship cameras but it gets the job done thanks to the pixel binning of the 48MP sensor that combines 4 pixels into 1 to allow more light in. What’s more, the selfie shooter is average with nice colors and details but with the beauty mode on, some details are missing due to the smoothing effect it applies on the skin. So, if you like natural and real photos, we suggest you take selfies using the normal mode.

Ulefone Armor 7

As for the video recording, Armor 7 supports up to 4K and also features slow-motion, time-lapse, pro mode, underwater camera mode, GIF etc. Pretty neat for an affordable and rugged flagship that sports the Helio P90 AI SoC bundled with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. Also, the big 5500mAh battery, NFC with Google Pay, global network bands support, quad positioning system, and Android 9 Pie.

Right now, Armor 7 is on sale over at Aliexpress and Banggood with a discounted price of $369.99. If you are interested, go ahead and grab one. For more details, visit the Ulefone official website.

Purported Xiaomi Mix 4 pictures leak showing in-display dual selfie cameras

Xiaomi Mi Mix 4 has been in the rumour mills for a long time running now. When we expected the Chinese tech giant to deliver the Mix 4, we instead got the Mix Alpha concept which won’t be available to buy just yet. That has kept the rumours alive. A recent listing for the Mix 4 on Jingdong did not help matters. The latest leak about the Mi Mix 4 is a couple of live pictures said to be of the device.Mi mix 4

The pictures first appeared on Slashleak but have been labelled as fake by Xiaomi’s product director Wang Teng Thomas via Weibo. However, the images look real and contain some interesting features that would be amazing to have on the Mix 4. Besides, we really can’t take Xiaomi for its word since we have seen them backtrack on several occasions on statements made, in order to spring up a surprise. This may be one of such statement meant to keep the surprise intact.

The most prominent of this is the in-display selfie camera design instead of a pop-up, notch or punch-hole design. The two sensors are located centrally at the top of the display. Xiaomi had patented the in-display dual-camera design in September this year in China. However, it is very unlikely that the design will be used on the Mix 4 even though we can’t be so sure.

The leak also tips the Xiaomi Mix 4 to come with a curved display with QuadHD resolution It will be powered by a Snapdragon 855+ SoC and come with UFS 3.0 flash storage. The display will also have support for 60, 90 and 120HZ refresh rates. The in-display selfie camera is said to be a 12MP+2MP combo while at the rear, there is a quad-camera setup of 108MP + 20MP + 12MP + 5MP sensors.

We expect Xiaomi to spring up a surprise pretty soon regarding the Mix 4 launch.

Huami: No Exclusive deal signed with Xiaomi for Smart Wearables

Smart wearables have seen an increase in popularity in recent years. The best examples of this would be smart bands (like Fitbit or the Mi Band series) or smartwatches (like the Apple Watch). Huami is one such company that deals in the former category and has historically been backed by Xiaomi, the smartphone manufacturer.

However, the company stated in an annual strategic media communications meeting today that it had not signed any exclusive deal or agreement with Xiaomi regarding the latter’s Mi Band lineup of smart wearables.

Huami Xiaomi Mi Band 4

Earlier this year, Xiaomi launched the Mi Band 4 in China. Promptly after this, reports surfaced that suggested that Huami was already working on the 5th installment in the series. The CEO of Huami confirmed that both companies have been “co-working” on multiple projects in a partnership but are not signed under an exclusive deal to manufacture or develop Xiaomi wearable products.

Xiaomi Mi Band 4Huang Wang, the CEO also stated that there has been a misunderstanding of the cooperation between Huami and Xiaomi. To back this statement, he even mentioned that the two companies are preferred partners under the same conditions which favor both sides. This indicates a two-way choice between the two partner companies.

In other words, Huami has not been contracted by Xiaomi to develop the Mi Band 5 but are collaborating due to extended partnership. The two companies are distinctly independent but collaborate often owing to healthy business relations. Notably, the Mi Band 4 lacked prominent feature like NFC and microphone support in its global versions so it will be interesting to see what improvements the collaboration brings to the latest Xiaomi’s smart wearable.

The watch features a proprietary 2.07-inch flexible curved screen with a super-arc curvature of 92°. The curvature is said to have been achieved by heating the metal body through an ultra-high temperature of 700°C with a 6-bend bending process.Amazfit X

The Amazfit X is shaped like a new moon and has a larger display area of up to 244% compared to the display area of wearable devices with similar size. The screen also has 326ppi, 100% NTSC high color saturation and up to 430nits screen brightness. The watch uses a 220mAh curved lithium battery which is said to have support for up to 7 days battery life. Since the motherboard can’t be curved, the Amazfit X uses a 3-segment motherboard in order to adapt to the curvature.

Huawei planning to relocate US R&D center to Canada

Huawei‘s founder Ren Zhengfei has been quoted to have hinted that the company is planning to move its R&D centre from the US to Canada. The company’s US R&D arm is known as Futurewei. At the start of the US sanctions, the US arm had tried to extricate itself from the parent company but that did little to help it gain the trust of the US government.Huawei store logo official featured 03

The move will also see the Chinese tech giant manufacture some of its mobile network equipment outside China. The move is no doubt to free itself from the prying eyes of the US authorities. We recall cases of parcels being re-routed and packages getting opened while in transit from China to the US centre. The move may also be to get the Canadian government to release Huawei’s Chief financial officer and founder’s daughter Meng Wanzhou, who has been under house arrest in Canada awaiting a court decision whether she should be extradited to the US or not.

Huawei rise to fame is heavily hinged on the firm’s investment in R&D. The company invested $15.3 billion in R&D last year, making it one of the top 5 companies to invest in R&D alongside Alphabet and Samsung. Huawei’s director and dean of the Strategic Research Institute Xu Wenwei had earlier revealed that the firm currently has more than 80,000 R&D personnel worldwide, accounting for about 45% of the total workforce.
