Vivo launched its innovative flagship, the Vivo NEX 3 in China back in September 2019. The phone came with a unique waterfall display with a curve that extends to both sides. After its China launch, the NEX 3 is making its way to Europe, with the first stop at Ukraine. The NEX 3 is up for pre-order at UAH17,999 ($715) right now and will start shipping in November.Vivo Nex 3 featured 01 (2)

The NEX 3 will be sold via Allo and Citrus in Ukraine, however, only Allo is offering the device at the above mentioned (UAH17,999) discounted price tag. If you are pre-ordering from Citrus, the NEX 3 will cost you UAH19,999 ($794) without the discount. Both third party retailers will start shipping the device from November 7.

This pricing is for the 8GB RAM + 128GB ROM variant, which is surprisingly close to its pricing in China. At its Chinese launch, the same variant was priced at 4998 yuan (~$709). So customers in Ukraine can get the device for almost the same price as in China. Note that this is the 4G variant and does not support 5G.

This Vivo NEX 3 Ukraine launch comes right after it was announced in Taiwan. Interestingly, Taiwan gets the 5G variant since the new generation network will launch very soon in the country.

Huawei partners with Russia as cold war with the West intensify 

By
Anvinraj Valiyathara
-

With the US trade ban still in place and no respite in sight, Huawei has turned to Russia for support. Huawei is the largest technological company in China, which is allied with Russia. It is only natural that Huawei plays a greater role in this friendship. Huawei has utilized this opportunity to build inroads into Russia with the development of 5G technology and smartphone sales. The company further plans to significantly expand its research and development operations in Russia and partner with local universities in this regard.

This partnership could not have come at a better time for Russia, which is currently out-of-favor with the US. Huawei is bringing some much-needed foreign investment while helping Russian tech specialists upgrade their skills. Ken Hu, Huawei’s Vice Chairman, announced earlier in October that the company plans to invest nearly 500 million rubles (~$7.8 million) to promote 5G technology in Russia and train 10,000 specialists by 2025.

Back in June 2019, Huawei had signed a deal with Russian telecom service provider MTS to jointly develop 5G infrastructure in the country. The project is going strong and MTS launched the first 5G test zone in Moscow last month. Huawei has slowly sealed its position as a trusted brand in the Russian smartphone market. Huawei, along with sub-brand Honor had successfully overthrown Samsung Electronics in sales during the third quarter of 2018. As of August 2019, Huawei along with its subsidiaries controls 37% of the Russian smartphone market.

huaweiAccording to Eldar Murtazin, Editor-in-Chief, Mobile Review, “Huawei’s success in Russia is partly due to the heavy investments made in establishing Honor. The Russian market was blown away with the relatively high-quality smartphones from Honor at below-average prices that the competition was either unwilling or unable to match. No other company went head-to-head with Huawei in this price war as it is difficult to continue working when the initial sales are down”.

While Huawei’s reputation has been tainted in the West on allegations that they could be spying for the Chinese government, such rumors hold no precedent in Russia. “Moscow considers Huawei a law-abiding corporation that does not engage in international espionage since the allegations have not been proved” Murtazin added. On a broader note, Russian analysts are of the opinion that personal data is susceptible to leaks and there is no unique threat to Huawei users.

Editor’s Pick: British PM to grant Huawei access to UK’s 5G network

Some people are less concerned about China gaining access to Russian user data as opposed to the US since the former is a close ally. According to Vladimir Rubanov, Executive Manager at Rosplatforma, a Russian IT company “A common joke among the Russian IT community goes ‘If you are using Apple, Washington listens to your calls. If you are using Honor, Beijing is listening’. Which one do you prefer?”

The rising tension between Washington and Beijing has forced Huawei to turn to the Kremlin for innovation. The company announced its plan to triple the size of its Research and Development wing in Russia within the next six years. Huawei plans to open three new R&D centers in the country by the end of 2019, making Russia its third-largest R&D center outside China.

Huawei is also strengthening ties with leading Russian technological universities and research institutions by funding studies that benefit the Chinese company and inviting them for joint projects. Huawei is utilizing Russia’s dedicated young workforce to maintain its innovative edge, despite mounting pressure from the US. Not many countries have an abundance of programmers and tech analysts. Although Russia is not the only nation with the talent and workforce, it is a strong contender in the area.

Huawei came prepared with very deep pockets to attract Russian talent. Over the years they persuaded several stalwarts in the Russian IT industry to sign up, by doubling their salaries. According to Rubanov, “Moscow is looking at the benefits of this partnership with Huawei. Apart from pumping foreign currency into the Russian economy, Huawei is also helping tech specialists develop their skillset. The company is spending their own resources to train Russian citizens in advanced technology and giving them an opportunity to participate in world-class product development”.

Specialists trained at Huawei’s facilities will eventually move on to start their own companies. Thus, fueling the Russian IT entrepreneurship. As Huawei continues to spread its wings in Russia, its success in the future will definitely come at the expense of American companies. Huawei’s strategy is simple. Since they cannot expand their business in America, they are investing heavily in Russia. This is a conscious effort to squeeze out American infrastructure companies in Russia and bleed them commercially by offering better contracts and projects to their employees.

In the past six years, Xiaomi has established itself as a powerful TV manufacturer and it’s no surprise that it ranks number one in the smart TV category in China. After announcing the Mi TV Pro lineup a few months ago, Xiaomi is all set to release the new Mi TV 5 series on November 5. Today, the company has confirmed the new Mi TV 5 models will come with the premium Quantum Dot display panels from Samsung.

The Mi TV 5 series will use a 4K QLED panel covering NTSC 108% wide color gamut. The Quantum Dot panel is likely to be supplied by Samsung who dominates this industry. The current generation Mi TV 4 series comes with either LCD or LED panels, so with the Mi TV 5 series, Xiaomi is looking to enter the premium segment.

Xiaomi’s shift to Quantum Dot LEDs isn’t surprising. The recently launched OnePlus TV also features Samsung’s premium QLED panels. So, the Mi TV maker is trying to jump into the premium segment with its new generation models. In fact, a recent survey from one of the Xiaomi executives had already given us a glimpse of Xiaomi’s intentions. Unfortunately, we don’t have any more information on the upcoming TVs.

This is the Xiaomi SmartWatch & it’s HEAVILY inspired by the Apple Watch

Yesterday, Xiaomi officially confirmed that it would release a new smartwatch alongside the Mi CC9 Pro at the November 5 event. Today, Xiaomi’s CEO, Lei Jun has revealed a render of the upcoming Xiaomi Smartwatch and we can’t deny that it takes HEAVY inspiration from the Apple Watch.

Xiaomi smartwatch

The Xiaomi smartwatch will come in two band colors, elegant black, and silver. It features a curved rectangular screen very similar to the Apple Watch series. What’s more, the placement of the crown is also exactly the same as the Apple Watch. Even the power button is placed just as the Apple wearable. There’s no denying that this Xiaomi smartwatch design lacks originality. We would really be disappointed if Xiaomi is marketing its new watch as an Apple Watch clone at a cheaper price tag.

Smartwatch Xiaomi hardware

Xiaomi had revealed a couple of days back that its new watch will be a true smartwatch and not just another band. Today, the company revealed more details about its internals and it’s clear that the smartwatch will be loaded with features. The Xiaomi smartwatch will feature a high-performance CPU along with independent GPS, NFC, Wi-Fi / Bluetooth modules. There will be an independent linear motor as well as speakers inside. Further, it is said that the battery will be pretty large as well. Finally, the Mi Smartwatch will come with eSIM support, just like the Apple Watch.

So even if the upcoming Xiaomi Mi Smartwatch lacks an original design, it will probably make it up with interesting features. With eSIM support and speakers, the watch should be able to make phone calls and other functions, just like a smartphone.

Well, after seeing Xiaomi’s new smartwatch, the Huami Amazfit GTS doesn’t look like an Apple Watch clone anymore.

FeiyuTech VLOG Pocket Foldable Gimbal Review

By
York Ye
-

When talking about gimbals, especially phone gimbals, my biggest concern is the size of it. For me, I would definitely sacrifice some functions to make sure that when I am in need of a gimbal, I can get access to it and actually start using it within 1 minute. Luckily, I find this little guy, the Feiyu VlogPocket. From beginners to pros, this gimbal deserves a seat on your baggage list.

Video Review

[embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=La74zw9Frc8[/embedyt]

Design

Start with the body design, which is the biggest selling point of it. This is the smallest gimbal I have ever used. It is as tall as your phone and it only weighs 272g, which is not much heavier than your cell phone. So, it is super portable and can be easily fit in your pocket. Apparently Feiyu is not joking or exaggerating about naming the device.

It can be perfectly fit in the side pocket of your backpack or most of the big pockets on your shorts or even jeans. I really like the notch design of the phone clip. It will prevent pressing the lock or volume buttons.

The shell of the gimbal is made of plastic but covered by a layer of skin-like coating. So, the touch of the handle is great and a little bit small. When operating the device, it is slightly tricky especially for those who have a big hand. Sometimes you will miss tap the buttons. So, you may need some time to get used to it.

We have two color editions, black and pink. I have to say the pink version is really a clever move because at least in China, more and more girls start their business with a gimbal no matter doing a live show or making a vlog.

Two-color Editions: Black and Pink.

The current price of VlogPocket is 450 yuan, which is around 64 USD. For this price, you can get a gimbal, a mini tripod, and a carrying bag.

Practical Use

Form my own experience, the VlogPocket is doing a great job of recording some moments of your interesting life or adventurer trip. However, if you are thinking about business use or a relatively professional shot, I don’t think the VlogPocket is a good choice because due to its small body, it usually takes more effort to get a rather smooth and stable shot. Also, if you are using a big phone whose screen is bigger than 6.5inch, like my Oneplus 7 Pro, you might give it a second thought because there is not enough room for the phones to freely switch orientations. It might be stuck with the axis and even cause damages to your phone.

Talking about the orientations, I really like it because you don’t have to turn the whole thing off to accomplish the switch. All you need to do is double-tap the function button. Most importantly, you can directly use the camera of your phone via Bluetooth. No need to download a third-party camera app. You can even change from landscape mode to portrait mode without touching.

Sadly, in this model, I find no joystick. Although VlogPocket claims that you can achieve tilting the gimbal by holding the trigger button on the back. But according to my experience, it is not so convenient comparing using the joystick directly and the tilting angles are a little bit narrow.

Stability

The stability of the VlogPocket is above the average, but not as good as the DJI Osmo Mobile 3. It becomes more obvious when I start running. I am not saying that you cannot use it while intensive movement but if you prefer a more delicate shot, you have to switch to a bigger gimbal. And I also notice that if you are using the Feiyu ON, which is a camera app designed by Feiyu, the shaking is more violent. Maybe some algorithm update is needed to make more efficient use of the built-in stabilizer.

All in all, the small size is both the pros and cons of the Feiyu VlogPocket. It sacrifices some stability and comfort to make sure that the little smart guy can be easily fit in your pocket. Practical or convenient, which one do you prefer?

Official teaser reveals Mi Note 10 will have 108MP penta camera

By
Habeeb Onawole
-

The Mi Note 10 is an upcoming smartphone from Xiaomi. It recently got certified alongside a Pro version in Thailand, hence confirming it will be available outside China. Now, Xiaomi has revealed the first official teaser for the phone and it looks pretty familiar.

The teaser which was posted on Twitter by the official account not only confirms the Mi Note 10 is coming but it reveals it will be the world’s first 108MP penta camera phone. Does that sound familiar? Of course, it does.

The Mi CC9 Pro which Xiaomi also teased today and is scheduled to launch on November 5 also has a 108MP penta camera. Based on this similarity, the Mi Note 10 might be the international version of the Mi CC9 Pro.

However, Mukul Sharma (@stufflistings) tweeted that the Mi Note 10 and the Mi CC9 Pro will share a lot of features but will differ with respect to processor. Leaks say the Mi CC9 Pro will have a Snapdragon 730G processor which is currently the most powerful mid-range processor.

If the Mi Note 10 will have a different processor, it will either have a less-powerful chipset than the Snapdragon 730G or a more powerful one (Snapdragon 855). This is just speculations though and the outcome may be different.

The Mi Note 10’s release date has not yet been announced but it should also be in November.

Oukitel has a tradition in making big battery phones and its K Series is one of the best out there to offer super long battery performance. After the release of the K12 that comes with a 10000mAh battery, the Chinese manufacturer is ready to unveil the next-gen model in the Series, Oukitel K13 Pro with 11000mAh battery.

 

Design

Oukitel designed the K13 Pro from scratch in order to make it unique and distinguishable from the rest of the Series’ devices. It comes with a 6.41″ HD+ O-notch display covered by Asahi glass that is 2.5D curved and prismatic cut. Thanks to the O-notch design, the bezels on the 3 sides are ultra-narrow and the screen/body ratio reaches 90.3%.

The earpiece was crafted though CNC and double oxygenation and has a distinctive red color. The same red decoration is also found around the volume and power buttons, rear cameras, LED flash, fingerprint reader, and Oukitel logo. The back panel comes in 2 patterns: Genuine leather and Kevlar.

 

11000mAh Battery

Oukitel K13 Pro

Of course, the killer feature is the huge battery. According to researches, there are about 3.3 billion smartphone users around the world and users generally spend an average of 3.5 to 4 hours on their phones every day, each week up to 28 hours. Using a smartphone so many hours means that a big battery is essential since finding a power outlet when on the go is a no-go. According to the company, the K13 Pro can offer 41 hours of phone calls, 54 hours of music playback, 14.5 of video playback or 11 hours of gaming. In real-life scenarios, this means about 3 to 4 days of heavy use on a single charge. With a more conservative use, you can achieve a whole week.

 

5V/6A Quick Charge

Oukitel K13 Pro

Having a massive battery means that fast charging is the most important thing since it can take hours to recharge. The 5V/6A fast charge will recharge the K13 Pro in just 2 hours and 20 minutes. It gains about 1% per minute from 0% to 60% so even if you forget to charge it during the night, you can give it a quick 30-60 minutes charge and you are good to go for the whole day.

 

Hardware

As for the rest of the hardware, it comes with MediaTek’s Helio P22 8-core SoC manufactured @12nm, backed by 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage, expandable up to 128GB more via the microSD slot.
