In the first half of the year, LG announced three new smartphones under a new line called the W-series. The three phones which are the LG W10, LG W30, and LG W30 Pro are sold in India. A new LG device called the Neo One has been certified by the FCC.
The FCC documents reveal the phone’s model number is ZNFX210LMW. It also shows us what the device looks like as well as its specs. However, the specs and images in the manual do not match the photos of the device.

The user manual reveals the LG Neo One has a 5.7-inch screen but the resolution is not stated. It runs Android 9 Pie but there is no mention of the processor, RAM, and storage. The manual says the phone has an 8MP selfie camera and 13MP + 5MP dual rear cameras. However, the images provided for FCC and the one in the user manual show the phone has just one rear camera. The One Neo also has Dual-SIM support, 4G, a MicroSD card slot (128GB max,), and packs a 4000mAh battery.

Live photos available on the FCC’s database shows it has a waterdrop notch and a single rear camera at the top left corner. There is no fingerprint scanner on the reflective back of the device but the diagram in the manual shows there is one.
There is a possibility there is a mixup with the documents and this phone may launch under a different name and not the LG Neo One. However, we have no info on when that will be.

Vivo V1945A/T showed up on the database of China’s TENAA agency earlier this month. The smartphone is yet to go official and its moniker for China is not known yet. The same phone is reportedly coming to India and Russian markets as Vivo V17. Vivo is also planning to bring the same device to multiple markets like Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines, and Malaysia.
Vivo Indonesia has revealed plenty of key details on the Vivo S1 Pro smartphone. It has revealed that the upcoming S-series phone will be equipped with a 6.38-inch Super AMOLED display that will offer full HD+ resolution. The smartphone promises a screen-to-body ratio of 90 percent. The display of the phone is embedded with a “Screen Touch ID” in-display fingerprint reader.
The Vivo S1 Pro is powered by Snapdragon 665 chipset and 8 GB of RAM. The internal storage of the device is 128 GB and it comes with an external storage slot that supports up to 256 GB of microSD card. The device is equipped with a massive 4,500mAh battery that supports 18W dual-engine fast charging through USB-C.
For shooting selfies, the Vivo S1 Pro features a 32-megapixel front-facing camera. The backside of the phone has a diamond-shaped camera system that includes a 48-megapixel Samsung GM1 primary lens and a 120-degree 8-megapixel superwide lens.
The launch date of the Vivo S1 Pro for Indonesia is currently under the wraps. Glowing Black and Crystal Blue are the two color editions of the smartphone. It appears that Indonesia and other markets in Southeast Asia will be soon receiving the Vivo S1 Pro phone before the end of this month.
As mentioned at the beginning of the post, some markets like China, India and Russia are likely to receive the phone with a different moniker. In China and India, Vivo had launched a different Vivo S1 Pro earlier this year. In Russia, Vivo hasn’t launch any S-series phone yet.
Google, Xiaomi and Huawei put a lot of efforts into the camera department of their latest flagships. Well, you can not define the Xiaomi Mi Note 10 as a complete flagship given its chipset, but it is still the most expensive Xiaomi phone released globally. The Pixel 4 XL brought important improvements and innovation on the camera side and even the Huawei Mate 30 Pro is one of the most performing camera phones out there. For this reason and also because these are three amazing high-end phones for everyone, we decided to compare the specifications of Google Pixel 4 XL, Xiaomi Mi Note 10 and Huawei Mate 30 Pro.

Design
If you are really searching for the most stunning design, then you should give a chance to the Huawei Mate 30 Pro. Its Horizon display is simply unique. In case you never heard of it, we are talking about a panel with extremely curved edges which makes physical keys unnecessary thanks to the side touch technology. Even Xiaomi Mi Note 10 has a curved screen and a beautiful design, but not as curved as the Huawei Mate 30 Pro and it lacks the side touch technology which replaces physical keys. Google Pixel 4 XL has too thick bezels and an iPhone 11-like square-shaped camera module on the back, it is not my favorite design. Google Pixel 4 XL and Huawei Mate 30 Pro are both waterproof with the IP68 certification, while Xiaomi Mi Note 10 is not.
Display
The most amazing display panel belongs to the Google Pixel 4 XL. First of all, it has a higher definition thanks to the Quad HD+ resolution with 1440 x 3040 pixels. Further, it has a 90 Hz refresh rate making the viewing experience smoother, unlike the Xiaomi Mi Note 10 and the Huawei Mate 30 Pro. Last but not least, it features full DCI P3 coverage and supports the HDR standard. Xiaomi Mi Note 10 and Huawei Mate 30 Pro offer bigger displays, but with inferior quality.
Hardware/Software
None of these handsets is powered by the most powerful processor in the Android market. But Google Pixel 4 XL and Huawei Mate 30 Pro still come with flagship-class chipsets. The best one is the Huawei Mate 30 Pro as it boasts the more recent Kirin 990 and it even features optional 5G connectivity. The Google Pixel 4 XL takes the second place with its Snapdragon 855 chipset, while Xiaomi Mi Note 10 is just an upper-mid-ranger with its Snapdragon 730G. Talking about the software, both Google Pixel 4 XL and Huawei Mate 30 Pro come with Android 10 out of the box, but Google Pixel 4 XL updates faster to the latest versions and security patches as it is a Google phone. Xiaomi Mi Note 10 is still based on Android 9 Pie.
Camera
Despite it is not a flagship, Xiaomi Mi Note 10 is the best camera phone of this comparison alongside the Huawei Mate 30 Pro. It features a 108 MP Penta-camera, while Huawei Mate 30 Pro has an amazing quad camera with two 40 MP sensors. Both capture a huge level of detail, even in low light conditions. And we can tell the same about the Google Pixel 4 XL, but it lacks an ultrawide sensor, it only provides a secondary telephoto lens besides its 12 MP main shooter. Huawei Mate 30 Pro and Google Pixel 4 XL are superior when it comes to selfies.
Battery
The 5260 mAh found on the Xiaomi Mi Note 10 makes it a champion of battery life. It does not support reverse wireless charging like the Huawei Mate 30 Pro, but there is no way other flagships can actually compete with the Mi Note 10 in terms of battery life.
Price
Google Pixel 4 XL costs €899/$899 globally, Xiaomi Mi Note 10 has a €599/$661 price tag and Huawei Mate 30 Pro costs about €733/$810 in Asia. If you need the most complete device you should go for the Huawei Mate 30 Pro since it has great cameras and amazing performances, as well as optional 5G, water resistance and reverse wireless charging. Google Pixel 4 XL has better performance, frequently-updated stock Android and a better display than Mi Note 10, but the Mi Note 10 has a higher value for money, a better camera, and a bigger battery. However, it just comes with a mid-range hardware. I would personally go for the Huawei Mate 30 Pro.
The foldable smartphones are now a reality. After the Samsung and Huawei, now Motorola has finally unveiled the iconic Motorola Razr foldable flip smartphone with dual displays and dual cameras. It is the first flip foldable smartphone which has once again flashed the old memories of old flip phones.
The Motorola Razr houses two displays as like the Galaxy Fold. The primary 6.2-inch P-OLED FLex View display is present on the inner side. It features the resolution of 2142 x 876 pixels flaunting a 21:9 aspect ratio, On the outer side, there;’s a 2.7-inch gOLED display with a resolution of 800 x 600 pixels and 4:3 aspect ratio. The exterior surface display is meant to respond and show notifications quickly.
Motorola Razr is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 710 SoC coupled with Adreno 616 GPU for graphics processing. The smartphone is available only in a 6 GB RAM and 128 GB internal storage variant. In optics, the users will get a 16-megapixel unit having an f/1.7 aperture and dual-pixel autofocus. Apart from the 5-megapixel front camera on the top of Flexview, the primary camera can also act as a selfie camera as it comes to the front when unfolded.
A 2510 mAh battery is present to withstand the whole day, and it supports 15W TurboPower fast charge. The device runs on Android 9.0 Pie. Unfortunately, the Motorola Razr does not carry a 3.5mm headphone port. In connectivity, the smartphone features e-SIM, Wi-F-, Bluetooth 5.0, NFC, GPS, and USB-C. It will become available in the US market by January 2020 for the price of $1499.
Download Motorola Razr Wallpapers
Motorola Razr has shaken the entire smartphone market with its legendary flip design. After successful feature phones with the same design in the last decade, the Motorola has once again switched to the Flip Design featuring foldable display design. The smartphone is well equipped with hardware to compete against other foldable devices in the market. Like the recently launched Motorola smartphones, the Motorola Razr also comes with only a few stock wallpapers.
However, we have got hands-on a single wallpaper in high-resolution. The interested users can download the wallpapers in 2160 x 2160 pixels resolution. The device also carries some wallpapers from the official Google Wallpaper app. Here’s the preview of the available wallpaper:

Samsung is celebrating 10 years of the Galaxy line. The mobile giant is not handing out free gifts but is actually asking for your money. Samsung has put together a Galaxy 10th Anniversary Premium Package that includes its best products to mark the milestone.
The premium package includes the Galaxy Note10+ (and silicon cover), the Galaxy Watch Active 2 (with two free straps), and the Galaxy Buds. It is a perfect bundle of Samsung’s best phone and its best wearables.
Samsung is marketing the Galaxy 10th Anniversary Premium Package as a great holiday gift for your loved ones. There is no price tag yet but it will be available in select markets this November. We hope the price is lesser compared to when bought separately.
Samsung has also released two videos to market some of the features of its devices. The first video advertises the SmartView feature that allows you to send content from your device to a larger screen such as a compatible TV with a single tap. Samsung says this should come in handy during the holidays when viewing photos or watching a video or movie.
The other video is for its Link to Windows feature. With this feature, your phone and Windows 10 PC are seamlessly connected thanks to Windows “Your Phone” feature. Your Phone allows you to access your phone’s apps on your computer screen. You will able to reply to messages without picking up your device or even edit photos from your phone on the PC.
Following the partial reveal of the Redmi K30 last month, there have been speculations about the device’s launch. Multiple reports have said the phone will arrive before the end of the year. However, yesterday, Lu Weibing confirmed via a post on Weibo that the Redmi K30 will launch next year.
Mr. Weibing’s post was originally about China Mobile’s list of top 4G smartphones which the Redmi K20 Pro Premium Edition, Redmi K20 Pro, Redmi Note 8 Pro, and Redmi Note 8 all made. He added that they plan to continue to adhere to a high standard in the 5G era and bring the best quality to their fans.
At the and of the post, he adds that Redmi will be a 5G pioneer in 2020, starting with the Redmi K30.
Chinese leakster @Digital Chat Station also shared the tweet on his timeline and added that Qualcomm and MediaTek’s 5G mid-range chipsets – the SM7250 and MT6885 respectively, will begin shipping at the earliest in January 2020.
Android 10 is rolling out to a number of phones already but most phones are still stuck on older versions of Android. While some manufacturers have released a roadmap of their update schedule, others have kept sealed lips. Yesterday, Sony joined the former category and announced which of its phones will get Android 10 and when to expect it.
Sony Xperia 5 will get Android 10 in December
The blog post put up by the Japanese manufacturer reveals that the Xperia 1 and Xperia 5 flagships are first in line to get the update which will be available in December.
Sony adds a disclaimer that the rollout will be phased and will also depend on carriers and regions.
Based on the list, Sony is not only updating its 2018 and 2019 flagship phones but also the mid-range Xperia 10 and Xperia 10 Plus.
Sony ships its phones with a stock-like version of Android along with some of its own custom features such as Side Sense and one-handed mode. Android 10 brings a system-wide dark mode, smart replies, a new notification, manager, and more.
The Galaxy A80 launched back in early April but didn’t go on sale until July. The phone has a notch-less display and comes with triple rear cameras that rotate to double as front-facing cameras. When it was unveiled, Samsung only announced a single variant with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. However, a new TENAA listing shows we may be getting a 256GB version soon.
TENAA’s database recently added a new entry for the Galaxy A80 (SM-A8050) and the listing shows the device was certified on the 12th of November. There is no difference in the specs save for the addition of a 256GB variant.
Initially, we were surprised the phone was only released in one configuration which didn’t make any sense since it doesn’t even have support for storage expansion.
So if you have been eyeing the Galaxy A80 but put off by its storage, you should look out for the new 256GB version. Its release date is still unknown and we can’t say if it will be available in other markets where it is sold too.
The Galaxy A80 has a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display with a 1080 x 2400 resolution. It is powered by a Snapdragon 730G processor paired with 8GB of RAM. The primary camera is a 48MP sensor and it is paired with an 8MP ultrawide camera and a TOF 3D camera. The phone also has an in-display fingerprint scanner and uses Sound-on-Display rather than a traditional speaker.
There is no audio jack but you get NFC, Bluetooth 5.0, and a USB Type-C port. Under the hood is a 3700mAh battery with support for 25W fast charge. The Galaxy A80 ships with One UI based on Android 9 Pie.
The Realme 5s is coming, and over the past few days, bits of information about the phone has been released on the official Flipkart landing page. The latest info discloses the phone’s processor.
The new info on the page reveals that the Realme 5s will come with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 665 at its heart just like its sibling, the Realme 5. The processor is a power-efficient one and coupled with the massive 5000mAh battery capacity, it should last well more than a day. According to GSMArena, the Realme 5 has an endurance rating of 144 hours, the fourth-highest on their list of reviewed devices (as at the time it was reviewed).
The Realme 5s will pack a 6.51-inch HD display with a waterdrop notch. It will also have quad rear cameras that include a 48MP primary sensor. The provided image reveals it will be available in Crystal Red and have a fingerprint scanner on the back. So far, the 48MP camera seems to be the only difference between it and the Realme 5. We hope there is more, maybe even 18W fast charging.
Realme will announce the phone on November 20 alongside the Realme X2 Pro flagship phone.
Huawei’s Mate X foldable went on sale for the first time in China yesterday. And it was sold out in less than a minute. But looks like the company is already eyeing at different foldable designs, including ones like the Motorola Razr flip folding design. Today, Huawei’s new patent was published by WIPO revealing its interest in vertical folding smartphones.
The patent, registered by HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO. LTD and published in the Hague Bulletin no. 46/2019 reveals a vertical folding design patent by Huawei with at least three cameras at the back. The phone will have a single display on the inside that folds with the help of a hinge. However, the folding position is not exactly at the center which leaves a small part of the display exposed even when it’s completely folded. This is actually a very interesting take on the flip foldable design as it eliminates the need for a secondary display on the outside.
We can’t see any cameras on the flexible display side of the phone, but there are three sensors at the back placed in a vertical arrangement. There’s are some unidentified components below the flash in the camera setup. The design also reveals the buttons are located on the right side.
A couple of days back, we reported that Xiaomi had patented a Razr-style flip foldable smartphone. However, Huawei’s take on the vertical folding design looks a lot more minimalistic and refined than Xiaomi. Of course, at this point in time, these are just patents, and we are not even sure whether these two companies are actually working on a vertically folding flip phone.
Lenovo officially launched the much-awaited Motorola Razr amidst much fanfare at an event in Los Angeles, US yesterday. The company launched the device this morning at the Tech World 2019 in China. At the event, the Chinese firm also showcased the world’s first foldable PC with folding displays. If it seems familiar, it’s because that’s the very same device that was revealed as ThinkPad X1 series device earlier this year.
What’s more interesting to note however is that the vice president of BOE Group, Wei Wei, revealed on Weibo that the folding displays for the Thinkpad X1 line and Motorola Razr were both made by them. In addition, the Huawei Mate X that was officially launched earlier today also comes with a display provided by BOE.
This is a rather interesting bit of news, as it shows that any smartphone company could technically put out a folding phone since BOE is now an established supplier of them. It would still require a sizable amount of R&D from the company’s side to accommodate a folding design, but the possibility is there.
Xiaomi is best known for its smartphones, though it does dabble in other hardware categories: smart TVs, fitness bands, battery packs, and even electric scooters. The Mi Surface 34 was the company’s first desktop monitor. It had a 34-inch display sporting a curved (1500R) panel with a 3440×1440 resolution (21:9 aspect ratio).
Built for gaming, it had a 144Hz refresh rate, 4ms response time, and AMD FreeSync support. Alongside that, we also saw the Xiaomi also unveiled a 23.8-inch IPS monitor with a 1920×1080 resolution. It came with a fairly similar feature set, and was priced at 699 Yuan (~$98). Now, leakers are reporting a third model on the way soon.
According to the report, the brand new display will essentially have the same features as the larger unit. It’ll retain the 144Hz refresh rate and 4ms response time, only on a smaller 29-inch curved panel. On top of this, it’ll obviously be priced slightly lower than the current 34-inch model, giving it a nice niche.
There are no shortage of options if you are in the hunt for the a new gaming monitor, from newcomers like Razer and Xiaomi to old veterans like Viewsonic. We’re eager to see how the new Xiaomi gaming monitor turns out, though we expect it to be just as good as their previous efforts which were already stellar products.
Yesterday Vivo announced the new S5: someone considers it the nth mid-ranger from the company, but it is not exactly so. It offers a more original design than most of the actual budget phones, so it is worth paying attention to it. Now that we know all of its specifications and the launch price, the next step is comparing Vivo S5 with at least some of the most important mid-rangers out there in order to establish whether it is worth for potential buyers giving it a chance. For this comparison, we chose the Realme X2 due to its amazing quality-price ratio and the Xiaomi Mi CC9 due to its premium design and well-balanced specs sheet.

Design
As said above, Vivo S5 adopts an original and futuristic design. First of all, it comes with a punch-hole display, and that is not so easy to find it among mid-rangers. Further, it has a pretty nice diamond-like camera module on the back making its design unique. It has a bigger display and a higher screen-to-body ratio than Realme X2, yet it provides a more compact body. Even the Xiaomi Mi CC9 is a very interesting phone when it comes to aesthetics. Just like the Vivo S5, it has a glass back as well as an aluminum frame, despite it lacks a punch-hole display. Realme X2 has a plastic frame, so its build quality is inferior.
Display
Most of the punch-hole displays are IPS panels, but the Vivo S5 features a Super AMOLED screen. However, this is not the best display of the trio. The richest image quality is delivered by the Xiaomi Mi CC9 which supports the HDR standard and it even comes with high brightness. In each case, you get an in-display fingerprint reader, as well as an AMOLED panel. But only the Xiaomi Mi CC9 supports HDR.
Specs & Software
Vivo S5, Xiaomi Mi CC9, and Realme X2 are all powered by different chipsets, but all of them belong to Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 700 series. The most powerful chipset is the Snapdragon 730G found on the Realme X2 which is the best for both its CPU and GPU performance. The second place goes to the Snapdragon 712 found on the Vivo S5 but it is just a slight upgrade of the Snapdragon 710 you can find on the Xiaomi Mi CC9. You should also consider that, besides having the best processor, Realme X2 features a fast UFS 2.1 storage. Each phone has Android 9 Pie out of the box, but customized by a different user interface: Vivo S5 has Funtouch OS, Xiaomi Mi CC9 has MIUI (which I define more advanced) and Realme X2 has Color OS.
Camera
At first glance, it does not seem so, but the Realme X2 has the most advanced camera department. It features a 64 MP quad camera including an ultrawide sensor, a dedicated macro camera, and a depth sensor. Even its front camera is amazing with its 32 MP resolution, but the 32 MP camera of the Xiaomi Mi CC9 uses Meitu’s algorithm which is able to enhance the selfie quality a lot. Note that no one of these devices is a high-end camera phone, they just come with midrange-class sensors.
Battery
On the paper, Vivo S5 offers a slightly bigger 4100 mAh battery, while Xiaomi Mi CC9 and Realme X2 stop at 4030 and 4000 mAh, respectively. However, this does not necessarily mean that Vivo S5 will last more on a single charge as software optimization plays an important role when it comes to small battery capacity differences.
Price
Vivo S5 6/128 GB just launched in China with a €350/$387 starting price, Xiaomi Mi CC9 costs about €360/$398 in the 6/128 GB version, and Realme X2 costs €230/$254 in the 6/128 GB configuration. Overall, in my personal opinion, Realme X2 looks like a more interesting option due to its stronger chipset and better cameras.

Xiaomi’s big battery budget devices for 2019, namely the Redmi 8 and Redmi 8A has officially received the green signal from Xiaomi for third-party development. The company has just released the kernel source code for both the devices, allowing developers to tinker with its code and develop custom ROMs for the device.
Xiaomi’s smartphones are popular for their extensive custom ROM development. Even the MediaTek powered Redmi Note 8 Pro kernel source code was released back in September. So, we can expect to see some new custom ROMs for the Redmi 8 and 8A in the coming months.
Both devices have a large 5000mAh battery that easily offers two-day battery life. They share the same octa-core Snapdragon 439 processor inside with the Redmi 8 getting a 4GB RAM version while the 8A maxing out at 3GB RAM and 32GB of internal storage. Another major difference is in its camera setup as the higher-end Redmi 8 gets a dual 12MP + 2MP shooter at the back while the 8A has to settle for a single 12MP sensor. Note that the cheaper 8A doesn’t have a fingerprint sensor.
Xiaomi recently revealed that the Redmi 8 and 8A have a special sonic dust removal feature built-in. It’s essentially just a way to clear out the dust and gunk that tends to gather up in smartphone speakers, which is a fairly common problem.
According to Xiaomi, the Redmi devices achieve this by playing a custom sound designed to achieve the maximum amplitude of the speaker for 30 seconds. This allegedly gets all the dust out by pure force, without damaging the speaker we’d hope. It’s an interesting solution to a common problem.
I use a Redmi Note 6 Pro and still check daily if Xiaomi has pushed the new MIUI 11 update to the model. Surprisingly, users of the Redmi 4 in India have reportedly started receiving MIUI 11 update and have even shared evidence online. Apart from the fact that it is MIUI 11, there is nothing spectacular to cheer about this update.
The screenshot shared by a Redmi 4 user shows that the new update comes with the version number MIUI 11.0.2.0.NAMMIXM. It also shows the update file is 483MB large. Interestingly, this new update doesn’t bring a change in the Android version as the Redmi 4 still runs the outdated Android 7.1.2 (Nougat). It also brings along the October 2018 Android security patch that Google released more than a year ago.
The changelog shared by some users on the MIUI forum shows the MIUI 11 brings improved touch controls and refined colour usage to deliver a fresh experience. The update also carries sound effects influenced by nature. The update is also expected to enhance the user experience by offering a minimalistic design. Other features include an always-on lock screen and Dynamic Video Wallpapers.
The League of Legends 2019 World Championship had its final after over a month of competition in Paris. At the event, Oppo, the sponsor of the tournament, showcased its latest Oppo Reno2 Zoom smartphone.
In the tournament that kicked-off on 2nd October in Berlin, 24 teams were competing in a series of epic death matches. As a sponsor of the tournament, the smartphone company Oppo had set up experience booth from November 5th-10th. It also presented the Most Valuable Player (MVP) award and showcased its smartphone.
The company officially announced in September that it had became the exclusive global smartphone partner for LoL Esports international events, which includes The World Championship, Mid-Season Invitational, and All-Star Event.
Notably, this is a long-term partnership and Oppo has already signed on for five years. The company said that it is eagerly looking forward to further cooperation with the global Esports event and added that there’s much more in store, including a whole host of activations surrounding The World Championship, Mid-Season Invitational, and All-Star Event – with more to be announced.
Oppo said that this long-term alliance with League of Legends publisher Riot Games lasts through 2024. This further marks the company’s exploration in the field of Esports, broadening existing sports and entertainment sponsorships. League of Legends Esports joined the list of sports partners for Oppo, which includes Wimbledon, FC Barcelona, the International Cricket Council as well as another mobile Esports tournament – the Tencent Playerunknown Battle Ground Mobile Challenger Cup.
Through this partnership, League of Legends Esports aims to further enhance fans’ live event and viewing experiences around its global sporting events, while Oppo’s commitment allows them to better engage with the growing player base of the world’s top Esport.
