Nov 22, 2019

The Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro that has a 108-megapixel penta-lens camera setup was recently made outside of China as Xiaomi Mi Note 10. According to a new report on 91mobiles, the Chinese manufacturer is planning to launch the Mi Note 10 in India. The Xiaomi Mi 5 flagship phone that was unveiled in India in 2016 had received lukewarm reception. Since then it hasn’t launched a high-end or flagship Mi series phone in India. Beginning from 2017, the Chinese firm has been launching Android One based Mi series phones in India each year. The Mi Note 10 is expected to rival with the likes of Realme X2 Pro and OnePlus 7 in its price segment.

The source that revealed the arrival of Mi Note 10 to India has claimed that the top executives of the Chinese firm is think about the right time to bring it to the country. The Mi Note 10 was previously planned to break cover in India alongside the Xiaomi Mi MIX Alpha concept phone in December. The plan has been reportedly dropped.

It remains to be seen when Xiaomi will bring the Mi Note 10 in India. As far as the Mi MIX Alpha is concerned, it is expected to arrive in limited quantities. The Mi Note 10 is a flagship-grade phone and the only thing that people may not like about it is that it does not feature a flagship chipset, but the Snapdragon 730G SoC. Since Xiaomi is leading the Indian smartphone market, it is likely that the Mi Note 10 will be met with positive reception in the country.

Nov 22, 2019

Blackview has scheduled the global open sale event for the A80 Pro in a week from now but the phone has already attracted a lot of attention since its debut earlier this month. Since the phone isn’t yet on the market, many users are eager to see how the phone looks in real-life, as they’ve only seen it in photos. So, today, Blackview uploaded a video on their YouTube channel to show the world the real thing.

Its appearance isn’t far from what most smartphones look like nowadays so Blackview decided to offer the A80 Pro in four striking colors. The company names them Gradient Blue, Coral Red, Jade Green, and Midnight Black and all come with a refined plating finish that prevents the phone from looking dull. On the contrary, it enhances the contrast of light and shadow on the 2.5D back panel, which is especially obvious under lights.

As you can see in the video, the Blackview A80 Pro is sleek and has a minimal, elegant design thanks to its curved, ergonomic shape. The rounded edges join the 2.5D curved screen and back panel, extending the smoothness from back to front.

As for its size, Blackview says it’s 162.75 x 77 x 8.8mm and the 6.49″ display achieves a 90.3% screen/body ratio. The 8.8mm thickness is somewhat impressive if you take into account that there is a big, 4680mAh battery under the hood. The battery is charged through a Type-C port located at the bottom and the device also sports a 3.5mm audio jack and LED notification light. So, all the essential features are there.

At the top left corner on the back lies the quad vertically aligned camera that comes with a Sony® IMX258 13MPmain sensor and LED flash. The fingerprint scanner is also there while the selfie shooter is placed inside the front waterdrop notch featuring an AI-driven Sony® IMX239 8MP sensor.

Overall, it looks like a much more expensive phone than it really is as, during the open sale that will start on November 29th, the price will be just $79.99. If you are interested, bear in mind that the sale will take place exclusively on Aliexpress. You can add it to your cart beforehand so that you get notified when the global open sales begin. You can also join the giveaway to be among the 10 trial users to get the A80 Pro for free.

HMD Global to announce new phone on December 5; likely to be Nokia 8.2

Nov 22, 2019

HMD Global has announced via the Nokia Mobile Twitter account that it will hold an event on December 5. The event will be for the launch of a new member of the Nokia family.

The newest addition to our family will be launched on 5 December 2019. 🙌Stay tuned to find out more! #NokiamobileLive pic.twitter.com/iYqPxyOTKP

— Nokia Mobile (@NokiaMobile) November 22, 2019

While the tweet didn’t reveal any details about the upcoming phone, there are quite a number of devices we expect will be unveiled on that day. Below are some of the phones expected to launch:

Nokia 8.2

The Nokia 8.2 is the most likely phone to launch on December 5. HMD Global launched the Nokia 8.1 on December 5 last year, so it makes sense that it is its successor launching exactly a year later. The manufacturer is also yet to announce an upper mid-range phone this year, so this is its chance to do so.

There are reports the phone will come with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 735 processor which should be announced at the Qualcomm Tech Summit scheduled a few days before the Nokia event. It has also been reported that it will come in different configurations with up to 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. Other rumored features are a 64MP quad-camera setup, a pop-up selfie camera, and a not so affordable price tag.

2. Nokia 5.2

While other 2018 models such as the Nokia 2.1, Nokia 3.1, Nokia 6.1, and Nokia 7.1 have all gotten successors, HMD Global is yet to announce a successor to the Nokia 5.1.

December 5 is sure a good day to announce the Nokia 5.2 even though it is coming four months late. However, seeing as HMD Global launched only the Nokia 8.1 at last year’s event, it may do the same this year and announce just the Nokia 8.2.

3. Nokia 2.3

Details about the Nokia 2.3 leaked early this month. The leak not only confirmed the phone’s name but also the three color variants it will be available in. The phone is reported to be a slight upgrade over the Nokia 2.2 that was announced back in June.

These are the three devices likely to be announced on that day but there is a high chance we may get just one device and that should be the Nokia 8.2.

Nov 22, 2019

Today Vivo surprised everyone by launching the value for money smartphone U20 in India. It is a very interesting take on Realme’s and Redmi’s affordable devices since it offers amazing specifications at an incredibly affordable price. It comes right after the launch of the Realme 5s in the nation and a lot of people are already considering its specs sheet even better. Another device that is fighting to become the best-seller under €200 in India and all around the world is the Redmi Note 8. Which is currently the device with the highest value for money? This specs comparison will shed some light on such a hard question to answer.

Vivo U20 vs Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 vs Oppo Realme 5s

DIMENSIONS AND WEIGHT	164.4 x 75.6 x 9.3 mm, 198 grams	158.3 x 75.3 x 8.4 mm, 190 grams	162.2 x 76.5 x 8.9 mm, 193 grams

BATTERY	5000 mAh, fast charging 10W	4000 mAh, fast charging 18W	5000 mAh, fast charging 18W
ADDITIONAL FEATURES	Dual SIM slot	Hybrid Dual SIM slot	Dual SIM slot

Design

The Redmi Note 8 clearly wins the design competition. First of all, it is the only which sports a glass back making the whole phone more elegant and refined (and protected by Gorilla Glass 5). Further, it is the most compact, the thinnest and the lightest phone of this trio. But despite the superiority of the Redmi Note 8, there is still to award the Vivo U20 which maintains a very thin and light body, even though it is equipped with a much bigger battery and a much wider display. Even the Realme 5s has a unique advantage: unlike its two rivals, it is splash resistant.

Display

Realme 5s loses the display comparison because it is equipped with a panel sporting a lower resolution. It is just HD+ and that is not the best for a wide 6.5-inch display as it does not provide a high definition level. On the other hand, the display is definitely one of the strong points of the Vivo U20, since it has a wide display diagonal (6.53 inches) and a high Full HD+ resolution. It even comes with the Widevine L1 certification which allows streaming content in high definition from the most known platform (such as Netflix and Amazon Prime Video).

Specs & Software

While Redmi Note 8 and Realme 5s are fueled by the Snapdragon 665 chipset, Vivo decided to take a step forward by equipping the Vivo U20 with a more powerful Snapdragon 675, so you will most likely get higher speeds thanks to its higher CPU performance. Further, consider that Vivo U20 comes with 6 GB of RAM and a fast UFS 2.1 internal storage making its performance even higher than expected. Unfortunately, it does not have a 128 GB configuration, unlike the Redmi Note 8, but it sports a micro SD slot to expand the native storage. Android 9 Pie is installed out of the box on each phone but customized by different UIs (Funtouch OS, MIUI, and Color OS).

Camera

The cameras are the real weak point of the Vivo U20: indeed, while it sports a better display and hardware department, if you care about photo quality then you’d better go for the Redmi Note 8 or the Realme 5s. Both have a 48 MP quad camera, but currently, the MIUI seems to have a slightly better algorithm for imaging, at least from what I’ve seen by testing Realme and Redmi devices.

Battery

Realme 5s and Vivo U20 are the battery champions here: they come with a huge 5000 mAh battery, while Redmi Note 8 offers just a 4000 mAh unit. Between Realme 5s and Vivo U20, the former should last more since it has to manage a display with a lower resolution.

Price

Vivo U20 just debuted with a €151/$166 price tag (Rs. 11,990), while Redmi Note 8 starts from Rs. 9,999 (€126/$139) just like the Realme 5s. Due to its better display, huge battery and higher performance, Vivo U20 is the most interesting handset overall, but only if you do not care a lot about photo quality (in that case Redmi Note 8 is a better option, or Realme 5s if you need a bigger battery instead of an FHD+ display).

Apart from launching the S-series flagship phones at the beginning of the year 2020, Samsung is also expected to new A-series phones. Recent reports have leaked vital information on the upcoming Galaxy A51 and Galaxy A71 phones. A fresh report on Sammobile hints at the existence of the Galaxy A81 phone. Interestingly, the Galaxy A81 is expected to arrive with support for S Pen stylus.

The report claims that the newly spotted SM-AN815F model number suggests that it could be an offbeat device. The letter that follows ‘SM’ in the model number usually denotes to the series a phone will belong to. For instance, S-series phones have SM-Gxxxx model number, Note-lineup smartphones have SM-Nxxxx model number and A-series phones have SM-Axxxx model number. However, the SM-AN815F seems to be a unique device.

The SM-AN815F model number could be belong to the upcoming Galaxy A81. However, the presence of A and N in the model number hints that the phone could be coming with a S Pen stylus. Recent reports have revealed that the upcoming Galaxy A91 that has a model number of SM-A915F and Galaxy S10 Lite with SM-G770F could be same device even though they belong to different series. Hence, there is a possibility that the Galaxy A81 could be a rebranded version of the Galaxy Note 10 Lite for some markets.

Apart from Note series, no other Samsung phones have featured the S Pen stylus. If the Galaxy A81 really arrives with S Pen, it will be a good attempt from Samsung on bringing stylus support on a cheaper as Note lineup flagship phones have always carried hefty price tags.

Nothing much is known about the Galaxy A81 expect for the rumor that it will be equipped with 128 GB of native storage. Hopefully, more details on the Galaxy A81 phone in the coming weeks.

The swivel camera system of the predecessor Galaxy A80 phone was most striking feature. It remains to be seen whether the Galaxy A81 will retain it. Leaked information that appeared few months ago had revealed it will be equipped with quad rear cameras featuring a 64-megapixel main lens, a 16-megapixel ultrawide lens, a 12-megapixel sensor with 2x or 5x optical zoom and a 3D ToF sensor. The Galaxy A80 was made official in April this year. Hence, there is a possibility that the Galaxy A81 could be made official around the same time next year.

Do you think Samsung should launch a cheaper phone with S Pen support? Share us your thoughts by posting your comments below.

These phones will also users with multi-camera preview feature that allow them to give a preview of the captured video through all four camera lenses and let user choose the desired one. Based on recent reports, the multi-camera preview technology could be made available as Director’s View feature.

In related news, Samsung has trademarked camera features like Single Take and Video Spin with European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO). The former may make it possible for S11 series to shoot a series of photos and video by panning around for 15 seconds. There is no word on what the Video Spin feature could be.

UMIDIGI A series is the most popular of the company as it is the representative of the company in the sub-$100 entry-level segment of the market. Last year’s UMIDIGI A3 became an instant hit and now the Chinese manufacturer is getting ready to release its successor, the UMIDIGI A3S that will be the most affordable smartphone with stock Android 10 OS.

Only a few entry-level devices feature the latest OS version from Google as most are running on last year’s Android 9 or even worse, Android 8. To that perspective, it’s nice to see that UMIDIGI is bringing all Android 10 features and security to the entry-level segment. Android 10 is smoother and has many new features like system-wide dark mode, live caption, and privacy controls.

Also, looking at the photos of the device we can confirm that the A3S will come with a dual rear camera as well as a fingerprint sensor. The phone will have two color variants, Space Grey and the iPhone-like Midnight Green. On the front, the A3S is equipped with a notchless display. Yes, the top and bottom bezels may be a bit on the large side but many users still prefer this over the notch. Judging from its predecessor, the A3S should be quite compact and should come with dual 2.5D glass with metal frame design, dual 4G VoLTE, global network bands, as well as triple card slots.

As for its debut price, it is rumored that during the open sale it will cost just $59.99! The A3S will hit the market early next month. In the meantime, UMIDIGI is running a big Giveaway to recruit 10 trial users for its new smartwatch, UWatch GT. If you want to participate, just enter the giveaway.

OnePlus 7 Pro’s audio is almost as good as the Note 10+ reveals DxOMark Audio Test

Nov 22, 2019

OnePlus 7 Pro was recently put through DxOMark’s audio test and results reveal that its sound output is almost as good as the Galaxy Note 10+. DxOMark gave the device a score of 68 in audio playback and 56 in recording, taking the overall score to 65. This would place it below the likes of the Huawei Mate 20 X and the iPhone 11 Pro Max who currently rank high on the list.

The DxOMark audio test reveals that the OnePlus 7 Pro has a pretty good audio playback. The stereo speakers are pretty loud, however, the test reveals that the phone’s speakers are better suited for music and movie playback than gaming audio. Bass is not exactly its strong point and the audio output is slightly lower in volume than other phones like the Huawei Mate 20 X. However, the phone managed to output overall balanced audio, giving it a pretty good score of 68 in playback.

DxOMark has reviewed nine smartphones so far for Audio

OnePlus 7 Pro’s recording score isn’t that great though. At 56 points, the phone ranks well below Mate 20 X and Galaxy Note 10 5G’s scores of 70 and 61 respectively. In fact, it is the lowest score for recording among the nine smartphones reviewed by DxOMark, even lower than Sony Xperia 5 and Honor 20 Pro. DxOMark points out that ‘Recorded voices often sounded unnatural and metallic, with their sound envelopes compromised by excessive compression’.

But if you are not recording audio through its microphones, the OnePlus 7 Pro should perform well in playing music and movie audio through its stereo speakers.

Recently, the OXF-AN10 phone was spotted on Geekbench with some of its key specs. Today, the same model has surfaced on AnTuTu benchmarking platform to reveal more details. According to AnTuTu, OXF-AN10 model number belongs to the Honor V30 Pro 5G phone and not Honor V30 5Gv as it was believed before.

On AnTuTu, the Honor V30 Pro 5G phone has recorded 476,480 average benchmarking score. This score is an average of CPU, GPU, memory and UX tests in which the phone scored 154,496, 169,369, 92,807 and 59,811 points. AnTuTu claimed that the Huawei Mate 30 Pro’s benchmarking scores for CPU and memory tests are higher than V30 Pro 5G. Both phones have scored recorded similar points in the UX score. However, the V30 Pro 5G outscored the Mate 30 Pro in the graphics test.

Coming to the specs of the Honor V30 Pro 5G phone that revealed through AnTuTu listing, it features a display that produces full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2440 pixels. Hence, the display of the Honor V30 Pro with an elliptical cutout for its two front-facing cameras will deliver a tall aspect ratio of 20:9. The Kirin 990 5G chipset that powers the Mate 30 Pro 5G is also present under the hood of the V30 Pro 5G. The SoC is coupled with 8 GB of RAM.

Editor’s Pick: Honor MagicBook 15 listing appears on JDmall.com

The variant of the Honor V30 Pro 5G that was benchmarked on AnTuTu has 256 GB of native storage. There is no confirmation whether the phone has UFS 3.0 storage onboard. AnTuTu has revealed that one of the front-facing cameras of the Honor V30 Pro 5G is of 32-megapixel.

Previous reports have revealed that the Honor V30 Pro could be equipped with a 4,200mAh battery. Its 3C certification has reveled that it may arrive with a 40W fast charging technology like the Mate 30 Pro 5G. The phone is likely to come with 15W fast wireless charging technology.

Xiaomi will fix slow charging on the Mi Watch via OTA Update in December

By

Nov 22, 2019

Xiaomi announced its first smartwatch, the Mi Watch a couple of weeks back. Being a relatively new product category for Xiaomi, users had a couple of questions or rather issues with regards to the watch. Today, Xiaomi’s ecological chain (MIJIA) product director Cheng Liang answered the two major questions about the Mi Watch.

One of the big issues regarding the new Mi Watch was the slow charging speeds. Users were worried whether this was a permanent problem. However, Cheng Liang said that the charging issue on the Mi Watch will be fixed via an OTA update around early December. So, it looks like an issue in the software rather than the hardware.

Unfortunately, we can’t confirm whether this fix will be bundled with the December 3 OTA update. The first OTA update for Mi Watch will reportedly optimize several features, including first pairing, application market, dial market, notification prompts, input method interaction, and weather positioning.

Another big question was about Mi Watch’s eSIM. If you recall, we had reported that carriers like China Telecom haven’t yet configured eSIM networks in China. So you couldn’t use eSIM services in the country, which was one big reason why the new Motorola Razr 2019 foldable didn’t launch in the Chinese market. However, Liang said that eSIM services are expected to be opened by Chinese carriers around mid-December. Once it’s available, Xiaomi will enable eSIM support for the Mi Watch via an OTA update. So users won’t have to do anything from their end to activate the services.

The Xiaomi Mi Watch runs on Google’s WearOS platform with its own MIUI skin on top. It’s almost a mini smartphone coming with the ability to make and receive calls (via eSIM), connect to the internet, and even run apps like WeChat and DiDi.

Despite its stark resemblance to the Apple Watch, the Mi Watch tries to carve out its own identity via its software and features. You can read more about the watch from our Mi watch hands-on article.

Snoppa Vmate VS DJI Osmo Pocket: What’s the difference?

By

Dimitris Economou

Nov 22, 2019

Recently we covered the new pocket-sized gimbal released by Snoppa, the Vmate. It is a small gimbal with an embedded camera that you can carry anywhere as it can literally fit into your pocket. There are other similar products like this on the market like the well-known DJI Osmo Pocket and today, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAQlBPJm6kMSnoppa points out the differences between these two. Let’s see what they have to say.

For starters, the Vmate sports a 90 degrees rotatable lens and you can switch from horizontal to vertical orientation quickly. This is something very useful that the DJI Osmo Pocket is missing. In addition, the horizontal axis has a rotation range of 400 degrees so there are no blind spots or dead corners when shooting. On the other hand, DJI’s gimbal reaches up to just 280 degrees. That’s less than a turn.

When talking about connectivity, the Vmatec comes with WiFi built-in and you can preview what you’re shooting on your phone and also use the smartphone as a remote control. Thanks to that connection, the Vmate can wirelessly transmit 4k video files to the phone. The DJI Osmo Pocket is using a USB connection that after a period of time is easy to loosen resulting in poor contact and it’s even easier to break. Not to mention the fact that it’s not very practical when using it as the cable gets in the way. Using WiFi means that you can attach the Snoppa Vmate anywhere on the phone while the Osmo Pocket has to be placed only on the right side of the phone. Lastly, both come with USB Type-C ports at the bottom but Osmo’s uses USB 2.0 protocol which means reduced transmission speeds.

Both devices can shoot up to 4K@60fps video but the Vmate can also shoot slow-motion FHD video @240fps while the Osmo Pocket stays @120fps. In addition, Snoppa Vmate reaches up to 200Mbps bitrate and Osmo just 100Mbps. This means better video quality for the Vmate that has a new hardware module that does away with the focus issues found on Osmo.

Vmate and Osmo Pocket are similar in size but the Vmate handle is 5mm wider to offer a more comfortable grip and it also has a slightly larger display than the DJI. Also, the Vmate has built-in Bluetooth and can be externally connected to a Bluetooth microphone like Apple’s Airpods, Xiaomi, etc. And even more important is the dual microphone of the Vmate that offers 2 functions: Noise reduction or stereo sound recording.

The rest of the differences are found mostly in the software department. The Snoppa Vmate app offers a unique PIP mode besides the standard POV, time-lapse, panorama, and other modes. The PIP mode uses the smartphone’s front camera and vloggers love it. Finally, the Vmate has a TF card slot protected against water and also a lanyard hole if you prefer to carry it on your wrist. The Snoppa Vmate is currently in production and you can preorder it on Indiegogo at a discounted price.
