Microsoft’s Surface Duo dual-screen smartphone will launch next year and should be available in time for the holidays. The phone isn’t the first foldable device with a dual-display and it will not be the last. We may even see one from Samsung according to the latest reports.
Apparently, Samsung has been granted a patent for a foldable display by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). The patent was filed back in 2013 but was just granted late last month.
Based on this, Samsung may decide to come up with a competitor to the Microsoft Surface Duo, and with their experience with the Galaxy Fold with respect to software, they may have a better implementation than Microsoft.
Above is a diagram from the patent. Since it was filed back in 2013 it is understandable why we still have capacitive buttons rather than software buttons. So if Samsung is actually planning a dual-display device, it sure won’t look like what is in the image above.

At a live-streamed show to officially begin its Single’s Day (11-11) shopping festival, Honor’s CEO, George Zhao, revealed that its upcoming flagships, the Honor V30 series, will launch on November 26.
Mr. Zhao also confirmed that the entire series will have support for 5G which hints at a higher starting price than its predecessor, the Honor V20.
While 5G support will translate into an increase in the price, the Honor V30 series is expected to come with impressive cameras. It has been reported that the series will be the first to feature what is called “Camera Matrix” technology which is a new algorithm.
Actually, this is not the first time we have come across the name as Huawei filed a trademark application for Camera Matrix and Cine Lens back in July. Cine Lens or rather, a 40MP ultrawide Cine Camera did appear on the Huawei Mate 30 Pro a few months after the filing. This camera is responsible for the Mate 30 Pro’s ability to shoot ultrawide videos in 4K at 60 frames per second and is also responsible for its 7680fps slow-motion recording.
The Mate 30 Pro is currently at the top of DxOMark’s list of phones with the best camera performance. If Camera Matrix is as good as it is being reported, we may see the Honor V30 or Honor V30 Pro battle for the crown.
It has been reported that the Honor V30 will have a punch hole LCD display with a 90Hz refresh rate. It is expected to have a 4000mAh battery with support for 22.5W fast charging while the Honor V30 Pro will have support for 40W wired fast charging and 15W wireless fast charging. The primary camera on both phones has been reported to be a 60MP sensor.
Samsung has confirmed that it will be launching the Galaxy W20 5G foldable phone in China on Nov. 19. First it was believed that the Galaxy W20 could be Samsung’s forthcoming foldable phone with clamshell design. However, recent reports have revealed that the Galaxy W20 5G will be a new 5G-ready version of the Galaxy Fold for China. Today, the Galaxy W20 phone that has a model number of SM-W2020 has received approval from the TENAA telecom authority of China. Its TENAA listing has revealed preliminary specs of the phone.
TENAA has revealed that the Samsung SM-W2020 has dual displays. One of them measures 4.6 inches. The measurement of the other display is not available yet. It is packed with a minimum rated battery of 4,135mAh and supports only single SIM. The listing states that the SM-W2020 measures 160.9 x 117.9 x 6.9mm. When unfolded, the Galaxy Fold measures the same. Hence, it appears that the SM-W2020 is indeed the new variant of the Galaxy Fold. The TENAA images of the phone also suggests that the Galaxy W20 5G resembles with the original Galaxy Fold.
The SM-W2020 was recently spotted on the database of 3C authority through which it was confirmed that it is a 5G device and it may ship with a charger that supports 15W fast charging. The currently available Galaxy Fold in China also ships with 15W charger. However, the country has only received the 4G LTE edition of the phone.
The Galaxy Fold 4G LTE edition is powered by Snapdragon 855 mobile platform that includes 2.84GHz octa-core processor. The upcoming Galaxy W20 5G is rumored to be equipped with 2.96GHz Snapdragon 855+ mobile platform. Apart from TENAA and 3C, the Samsung SM-W2020 has also received approval from Wi-Fi Alliance and Bluetooth SIG. The entire specifications of the Galaxy W20 5G smartphone is expected to soon surface on TENAA. It is likely that its specs will be almost identical with the original Galaxy Fold.
The Galaxy Fold has an outer HD+ display of 4.6 inches and an inner full HD+ foldable screen of 7.3 inches. Above the inner display is 10-megapixel + 8-megapixel dual selfie camera system. Above the cover display is the 10-megapixel selfie snapper. Placed on its back is a 12-megapixel + 12-megapixel + 16-megapixel triple camera system.
The Galaxy Fold has a 4,380mAh battery that supports 15W fast charging, 15W wireless charging and 9W reverse wireless charging. It comes with 12 GB of RAM and 512 GB of native storage. It features a side-mounted fingerprint reader and lacks support for 3.5mm audio jack and microSD card slot. It is selling with a price tag of 15,999 Yuan (~$2,282). The Galaxy W20 5G with a powerful processor and 5G support is expected to command a costlier price tag.
Today, Xiaomi’s Mijia crowdfunding platform announced the Mi Home Bluetooth Hygrothermograph 2. This is a successor to the model that launched last year. The 2nd-gen model comes with a new design and new features.
The original Mi Home Bluetooth Hygrothermograph 2 has a round LCD screen but the new model ditches it for a square ultra-low-power screen. The casing itself has rounded corners. The new model ditches the AAA battery for a CR2032 coin battery. Unfortunately, it doesn’t show the battery level as its predecessor does.
There is a built-in Swiss Sensirion high-precision temperature + humidity sensor that can detect up to 0.1°C changes in temperature and up to 1% change in humidity.
The Mi Home Bluetooth Hygrothermograph 2 can be configured via the Mijia App and has been designed to work with related products such as the air conditioner, the air humidifier, and the heater. All the aforementioned products can begin to work or get turned off at a preset temperature.

For example, the air conditioner can be configured to turn on automatically when the indoor temperature increases to a certain level. You can also have the heater kick in if the temperature drops during the night. This saves you the stress of manually turning on or off any of these other appliances that are supported by Mijia.
The Mi Home Bluetooth Hygrothermograph 2 also has a baby mode that will notify you when the temperature and humidity exceed the range for your baby. Xiaomi says it will not only send you a notification but also provide suggestions on what to do.
The device has a crowdfunding price of ¥49 (~$7) for a pack of 3 but will sell for ¥29 (~$4) per unit when it goes on sale. At the moment, Xiaomi says they have received more than 150,000 crowdfunding orders.

A fresh render of the Vivo S5 smartphone has been released by the Chinese manufacturer. It has revealed the two color variants of the smartphone.

The pricing of the Vivo S5 series of smartphone is currently under the wraps.
Samsung smartphones are known for the AMOLED display panels and the company has greatly improved the Active-Matrix OLED display over the years. Now, the company seems to be moving a step forward with its upcoming flagship smartphones.
The AMOLED displays have become quite popular with the smartphone manufacturers, thanks to its advantages over LCD panels such as better viewing angles, deeper blacks and they are also more energy efficient.
As per the report, the Samsung Galaxy S11 smartphone will come with SAMOLED display. The company is expected to soon showcase this new display type for which Samsung filed trademark in South Korea with the Korean Intellectual Property Office (KIPO).
The trademark application has been categorized as Class 9/11 with the description mentioning OLED display; smartphone display; monitor; television screen; digital signage; computer screen’. On the same day, the company also filed for the same trademark with the USPTO (United States Patent and Trademark Office).
While this new version of the company’s popular AMOLED screen seems to be definitely coming, it is not yet known what the ‘S’ stands for in SAMOLED. It could be ‘Super AMOLED’ but that seems unlikely given that the Super AMOLED screen have been around for quite some time now.
However, we expect to be a major development in terms of display technology coming from Samsung and thus, it could be used in the company’s upcoming flagship smartphones, including the Samsung Galaxy S11 lineup and the next-generation Galaxy Fold smartphone. But do note that this is just a speculation and the company has not confirmed anything as such.
The current-generation flagships — Galaxy S10 lineup and the Galaxy Fold, both come with Dynamic AMOLED display. The company is also using Super AMOLED display for its mid-range and premium mid-range phones. Now it remains to be seen what this upcoming SAMOLED display is and how it is better than the company’s current offerings.
Google recently pulled-off the wraps from Android 10. It carries several new features and optimizations to enhance the overall performance and usability. Apart from bringing new features, the latest build has also opened doors for new stability issues. Xiaomi Mi Bands are reeling from specific compatibility issues with Android 10. The users have reported several problems related to vibration and notifications.
The users are not receiving the Whatsapp, WeChat, SMS and other notifications on the Mi Band. Even though the vibration motor is malfunctioning for some users of the Mi Band devices. Both Google and Xiaomi are mud-slinging each other. However, no one is making efforts to solve the issue for several Mi Band users. The solution is primarily for the MIUI 11 users, but other users can also try to resolve it.
After getting the heat of Mi Band owners, the Chinese electronics maker is now trying to settle down the countless complaints. Xiaomi has issued a solution to fix the issue of the notification on the Android 10. The users need to make specific changes to the MIUI 11 devices to make it work.
The users should assign the notifications reminder permissions to the Xiaomi Sports app in MIUI 11. Follow the steps below to rectify MI Band Notifications issue on Android 10:
Open MIUI 11 Settings on your smartphone.
Now, Type for “Notifications” in the search drawer.
Select “Notifications Usage Rights” and tap “Mi Sports App” from the list.
Also, grant Notification permission to the Xiaomi Sports App in Android 10.
The majority of the Mi Band 3 and Mi Band 4 owners are getting these issues. We hope users will get respite from the notifications, not coming issues after using the above solution.

We’ve already reported that Taiwan-based MediaTek is currently working on 5G mobile chipset which will be made available next year. Now, MediaTek CEO Cai Lixing has recently revealed in an interview that smartphones powered by the company’s 5G SoC will get launched in the first quarter of next year.
This means that we’ll get the MediaTek 5G-powered smartphones somewhere between January 2020 to March 2020. Cai Lixing has also revealed that the company will be launching a mid-range and low-end 5G chipset to meet market demands.
We recently reported that MediaTek already has a 5G processor with a 5G modem built-in. The 7nm SoC supports multi-mode 5G and features the Helio M70 modem. The semiconductor manufacturer says the unnamed processor has Arm’s Cortex A77 CPU cores and Mali-G77 GPU cores. These are Arm’s latest and most powerful CPU and GPU cores which were announced back in May.
The chipset also has an in-house developed AI processing unit called the APU 3.0. A couple of months ago, it was reported that MediaTek’s 5G chipset will begin shipping to manufacturers this quarter. The report also revealed that manufacturers such as OPPO and Vivo have 5G phones planned for release.
The MediaTek Helio M70 modem is a multimode chipset with support for 2G/3G/4G/5G-enabled connectivity. It supports 5G radio (NR), along with the standalone (SA) and non-standalone (NSA) network architectures, the sub-6GHz frequency band, high power user equipment (HPUE), and other key 5G technologies.
MediaTek is a a member of the “5G Device Forerunner Initiative” and hopes that its 5G solutions will be powering industry partners to drive forward the development of 5G devices. For the development of 5G technology, the company collaborated with industry leaders including China Mobile, Huawei, Nokia, NTT DOCOMO, and others.
As per the reports, the company is expected to announce its first 5G mobile processor during its upcoming event MediaTek Summit on 26th November. It is also rumored that Redmi is working on a 5G smartphone powered by MediaTek’s chipset which isn’t surprising given that the Xiaomi sub-brand opted for Helio G90T chipset for its Redmi Note 8 Pro.
Stabilizers used to be professional filmers’ magic sticks. But now, a stabilizer is not an expensive option for general users, especially for those who are creating their works on smartphones and mirrorless cameras. Gizmochina is interesting in mobile filming and has brought two of the outstanding mobile stabilizers on our channel, the Zhuyun Smooth Q2 and the Feiyu Vlog pocket. This time we carried on the DJI OSMO Mobile 3 and let’s do a full comparison among these three gimbals.
We have discussed how possible to shoot a video over a phone. Hard to deny, the Huawei Mate 30 Pro has good image quality and effective stabilization. However, hand holding still is not able to guarantee perfect stabilization. inspired by camera accessories, smartphones with glowing camera capacity are possible to challenge the general market with their born talent, such as a large preview display, convenience, and powerful processing chips. Especially compared to those expensive DSLRs, a smartphone is a necessity for a modern person, which even costs less, not to mention the various lenses and so on.
You can find that even the accessories for smartphones generally are not that expensive, or we can say they are actually targeting people like you, who are not pros and won’t pay much on smartphone filming but looking forward to sharing stories with the great video quality.

Now it’s time.
Design
Well, let’s look at their design. The DJI OSMO mobile 3 finally realized one of the most important features of a mobile stabilizer is convenience. The smaller size plus the foldable arm could save much space for your travel baggage. However, compared to the other two, it still not the best choice. The other two are much more pocket-available. especially for the Feiyu Vlog Pocket, the small foldable body allows you to carry it without gathering surrounding eyes. While for the Zhiyun Smooth Q2, though it has the most elegant design, the metal body leads a heavier weight as it brings such great workmanship. Meanwhile, from Q2’s design, it’s not hard to notice the design accuracy. For example, it’s the only one among the three that you can place it on the ground, even with a phone. As for the other two, you can have a small tripod included for ground placement.

Convenience
One of the best measurements of their convenience is TIME. So, we did a simple test on how long they will take to get ready filming.
There is no surprise that the Feiyu vlog pocket is taking the lead of the race. But we can see all the three gimbals actually did not take much time as the gaps were not very significant.
Stabilization (video)
To judge the performance of a gimbal, the most important standard is always its stabilization. so let’s see some cuts and watch how they really performed during different motions (Please check it in the video).
Operation
The DJI Osmo 3 has multiple features for meeting filmers’ different filming conditions, which did bring a lot of fun when we were working with it. However, it’s quite complicated when we try to figure out all the operations from distinguishing from the button M and the trigger on the back. For example, you could dual-click the button M to switch the phone directions, and triple-click it to get sleep mode. Meanwhile, the M is also used for switch between photo mode and video mode with a single click, and power options with a press and hold operation. And it’s just for the operation for the button M. For more shooting mode, you have to distinguish the operations of ‘press and hold’, ‘single click’, ‘dual-click’, ‘triple-click’, and ‘single click, then press and hold’. And the next time I used it; I have to make it clear again.
Button M
Trigger
For the Feiyu vlog pocket, it goes to the opposite extreme. There are only two buttons and a trigger for all physical operations. You can only dual-click the power button for direction change beside the power option, and click a start button to start shooting. Holding the trigger can maintain a follow mode to have rotating angles. And more operations would be available on the Feiyu App. Such solutions are more intuitive and user-friendly.
While for the ZHIYUN Smooth Q2, it’s more like a product with much thinking on simplifying their operation logic with limited buttons. The Joystick is integrated with not only controlling directions but also switching 5 different modes. ‘One-click‘’ for the next mode, and dual-click for the last mode. and the indicator would help you identify which mode you’re working with. As a result, though the gimbal has 5 shooting modes, we could quickly change the mode as we wanted.
Software supports
All of the three gimbals have their customized mobile APPs, with which we are able to find a lot of interesting functions. For example, in the DJI OSMS APP, after connecting the gimbal, you can get a follow mode through selecting a subject on the preview interface, which is available in any mode. So, you can shoot a time-lapse video with a focus of a target subject. Meanwhile, you can have a professional filming experience on the APP to get a more accurate image manually.
DJI APP
A highlight of the OSMO App is the story mode, which brings you over 10 editing samples with fantastic background music and interesting transition style. All you need to do is to enter a sample, then follow the tutorial on preview, and choose shooting time for every cut. It makes filming much easier for those who have not much knowledge of filming but try so hard to please your girlfriend.
Story Mode
For Feiyu vlog pocket, because the gimbal itself only provides basic operations, using the app can help filmer reach more practical functions. So considering multiple filming demands of vloggers, Feiyu applies some customized features for both photos taking and video taking. In photo taking, you can find panorama modes and ultra-wide-angle mode, even though there is no wide-angle camera on your smartphone. And some further updates here, the overlapping mode and light rail mode. such professional techniques are no longer only able on the DSLR, but also able on your smartphone. And no more difficult camera settings but just only one click with the Feiyu vlog pocket. For video taking, the convenience is expanded to wider uses, like Dolly zoom, static timelapse, track timelapse and light rail video. Without much effort, the gimbal will help you reach some fantastic cuts which used to be seen only in professional films.
Feiyu ON App
For the Zhiyun smooth Q2, the updated APP also carries on the Dolly zoom mode and time-lapse options. But compared to the other two, the application simplified the options and operations of the APP viewfinder but also reserved most of the main shooting options. one of the features that could not be found in the other two is the latest vortex mode. Thanks to the all-direction pan arm, the filmer could create a special view with a smooth 360° rotation.
Vortex Mode
Conclusion
After we experience these three gimbals for over a month. We are pretty confused to recommend the best gimbal for you. We used to draw a conclusion that the Zhiyun Smooth Q2 was the best mobile gimbal. Well, to some extent, it still is. The metal body helps the gimbal achieve a better-stabilizing effect with full angle rotation. Besides, the excellent features like the longest endurance, reverse charging, user-friendly gimbal operations and so on, made it become the most trustworthy gimbal for our video shooting. But meanwhile, the simplified software and blocked the view on a few android phones sometimes caused discomfort, though such problems could be solved with manual adjustment. But surely, it’s still a gimbal that’s worth being called with the term ‘professional’.
Smooth Q2
For the Feiyu vlog Pocket, its biggest advantage is small and simple, while the most significant drawback is also the too simple body. Though it integrated a lot of features into their APP, the general experience would be affected by the complicated but functional software. To be fair, we would admire its top convenience and recommend it for most vloggers who are planning to travel and record their stories.
As for the DJI OSMO Mobile 3, it’s more like a good product with some compromise. For example, though it’s foldable and claimed to be pocketable, we still are not going to give it a credit on the convenience, not to mention its complicated operations. You always need to unfold the gimbal before loading the phone. The good message is that the DJI team brought stable software with effective tutorials. So if you are a person who has the patience to get used to the inconvenience, you probably would love it.

As the Samsung Galaxy S11 gets ready for Q1 2020 launch, rumors regarding the device are overflowing the internet. The latest leak from reputed leakster Evan Blass claims that the Galaxy S11 series will be available in three variants with different display sizes. Other highlights include a curved-edge screen and 5G connectivity on all variants. Additionally, Samsung is likely to stick with its traditional mid-February launch date.
According to Blass, the Samsung Galaxy S11 will sport 6.4-inch, 6.7-inch and 6.9-inch curved displays. Samsung apparently has done away with the S10e-style flat panels. While the 6.9-inch variant will only support 5G, the remaining variants will continue to run on the 4G spectrum apart from offering 5G connectivity. Shown below is the early renders of the Galaxy S11 renders made by known tipster, Benjamin Geskin.
Previous leaks have suggested that the Galaxy S11 might feature Space Zoom along with improvements to Face Unlock. Space Zoom could be a feature that may let S11 users to capture images of planets and stars in the night sky. The smartphone could also get a bigger battery. The South Korean tech giant is known for introducing its flagship products in February every year. According to unconfirmed reports, the Galaxy S11 is rumored to arrive on Feb. 18, 2020. However, there is no confirmation from Samsung on this yet, so viewers are advised to swallow the information with a pinch of salt.

In another major revelation this week, XDA Developers has come across mentions of a 108-megapixel resolution mode in the Samsung Galaxy camera app. Hence, it is being speculated that the company may use its 108-megapixel camera sensor on the upcoming Galaxy S series of flagship phones.
Samsung has recently introduced a 108-megapixel camera sensor. Although the setup has only made its way to Xiaomi’s flagship range at the moment, Samsung is likely to introduce the high-resolution sensor on the Galaxy S11 with a few minor enhancements.
Unlike Samsung’s current lenses that use large pixels to produce 12-megapixel images, the 108-megapixel sensor uses pixel-binning to combine multiple pixels into one high-resolution image. The downside of pixel-binning is greater noise and lower light sensitivity. Samsung overcame this problem with its new ISOCELL sensor that prevents light leakage into adjacent pixels to produce cleaner images.
