Sharp announced a new smartphone in Japan today. The Sharp S7 is a mid-range Android One phone with some pretty interesting features including a battery life said to last up to 1 week.
The Sharp 7 is actually a rebranded Aquos Sense 3 Lite but comes with less RAM, less storage, and ditches the fingerprint scanner. It also comes with Pure Android (Android 10) and the Google Assistant pre-installed unlike the Sense 3 Lite which runs Android 9 Pie and has Sharp’s Emopa 10.1 pre-installed.
The Sharp S7 has a 5.5-inch IGZO LCD screen with a resolution of 2160 x 1080. Sharp says with its IGZO energy-saving display technology, battery life can go up to 1 week.
There is a Snapdragon 630 processor under the hood along with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of expandable storage. It has a single 12MP f/2.0 rear camera and an 8MP f/2.2 selfie camera. There is electronic image stabilization (EIS) and AI features that help you to take better pictures.
The Sharp S7 has a 4000mAh battery but there is no mention of fast charging. It has an IPX5/8 waterproof rating, an IPX6 dustproof rating, and shock resistance.
Sharp says the S7 will receive at least one major update in the 24 months after its launch and will receive 3 years of security updates starting from when it goes on sale. There is no price tag yet but Sharp says it will be released in Japan after mid-December 2019. It will be available in peach, silver, and gray.
Alongside the Fire HD 10 and Fire HD 10 Kids Edition, Amazon also announced a Kindle Kids Edition. The new Kindle is practically the 10th gen kindle with a year of FreeTime Unlimited for books aimed at kids and colorful cases designed to make the device appealing to kids.
The new device is expected to get kids to read rather than stare at the screen of their Fire 7 Kids Edition or Fire HD 10 Kids Edition. Since this is just for reading, there are no interruptions from apps, games, and videos.
With 1-year of FreeTime Unlimited which allows for up to four child profiles, kids will be able to access popular titles such as The Harry Potter series, Chronicles of Narnia, Artemis Fowl (which has a movie on the way), and The Boxcar Children.
Amazon says that those who already have a prepaid Freetime Unlimited subscription not included with a device or who are a monthly FreeTime Unlimited subscriber will have their active subscription canceled and will receive a pro-rata refund for the remaining period while their new 1-year free subscription will begin.
Parents will be able to set educational goals, monitor their kid’s reading progress for each book, and track achievements for each day on their phone. The Kindle has a Vocabulary Builder that will use words looked up in the built-in dictionary to create flashcards for kids to learn definitions and usage of words. There is also Word Wise which automatically shows short and simple definitions above difficult words so that the child can keep reading with fewer interruptions.
The Kindle Kids Editon has a 2-year worry-free guarantee which means Amazon will replace it if anything happens to it within that period.
The device has a 6” screen, 8GB of built-in storage for over a thousand books, and a battery life of up to 4 weeks on a single charge (30 minutes per day, wireless and Bluetooth off, and brightness set to 13). It will charge fully in 4 hours using a 5W charger. Audible AudioBook streaming over Bluetooth isn’t available but is said to be coming soon.
The Kindle itself is black but there are four (blue, pink, rainbow birds, and space station) covers you can choose. The Kindle Kids Edition is priced at $109.99 and will be released on October 30.
Gaming smartphones have become quite popular and now have their own small but growing category. The gaming smartphone category can be classified into two. There are the flagships such as the ASUS ROG II, Black Shark 2 Pro, Nubia Red Magic 3S and Razer Phone 2. There are also mid-range gaming smartphones such as the Redmi Note 8 Pro.
There will be more gaming phones as time goes on and Google wants to make sure that these devices are powerful enough and “behave in a predictable way” for game developers. Hence the development of a Game Device Certification program.
The guys at XDA-Developers were able to get a copy of the latest version of Google’s GMS (Google Mobile Suites) Requirements for OEMs and ODMs which lists the requirements smartphone manufacturers must meet before being allowed to install GMS on their devices. It was discovered that the document now has a new section titled “Gaming Device Certification”.
The document rivals that for a device to have the Gaming Device Certification then it must meet a number of requirements. Below are some of the requirements:
Predictable Performance: Devices that are certified need to behave in a predictable way so that developers don’t face occurrences such as throttling, loss of CPU cores, and other unusual system behaviors.
Correct and high-performance GPU behavior: Certified devices are required to have modern and up to date high-performance GPUs and display APIs and enable reasonable frame introspection.
Memory behavior and requirements: Certified devices must provide access to memory in a predictable way. Games should be able to allocate reasonable amounts of memory and not have their processes unexpectedly killed. Certified Devices must allow a minimum of 2300MB of memory to be allocated before the lowmemorykilller kills the process.
Also, the device must support Vulkan 1.1 and pass the newest version of dEQP.
Google seems to have already set up a team that will handle this judging by a job listing a few months ago for a Developer Relations Manager for Android Game Device Certification.
The job responsibilities listed include the hiring and managing of the game device certification team, working closely with Android Certification teams, working closely with OEMs and SOC Vendors to drive standardization and define requirements, and working closely with game developers to understand their needs and create tests that validate the requirements.
There is no device at the moment that has received the Game Device Certification since Google has not even officially unveiled the program. It is believed that when Google eventually does announce it, it will also release a continually updated list of certified devices just like it does for Android Enterprise Recommended devices.
It is still a couple of months before Disney releases a new episode of Star Wars saga but Star wars themed products are already making the rounds. Popular watch maker, Garmin has launched a couple of Star Wars-themed smartwatches dubbed Legacy Saga Series.
The new Legacy Saga series is a collection of Star Wars-themed smartwatches which features some customisations that Star Wars fans may find appealing. Even the Garmin Connect app is influenced by the charactes in order to give Star Wars fans a unique experience. The series contains two smartwatches inspired by Rey and Darth Vader. The smartwatches come with engraved slogans and the bezels are designed with character insignias that pay tribute to the two Star Wars characters.
The Rey Special Edition smartwatch is equipped with a premium Jedi-inspired white leather strap (There is also an extra white silicone band insid ethe box). The Jedi insignia is also engraved on the silver bezel. The wearable device includes character-themed watch faces, goal animations, and a Jedi-themed Garmin Connect app experience that offers users exclusive visuals and badges, Rey-inspired avatars and more. The watch is said to offer up to seven days of battery life when in smartwatch mode.
On the other hand, the Darth Vader Speacial edition uses a premium-looking black leather strap with Sith-red stitching and textured gray nubuck leather interior (there is also an extra black strap in the box). The bezel is textured with details inspired by Vader’s TIE Advanced X1 cockpit and the “Rule the galaxy” quote. You also get character-themed watch faces and exclusive content. However, the battery life on this model is notched up a bit higher to 8 days.
Both smartwatches aso come with GPS and are presently available for $400.
Realme‘s first flagship product is expected to be the Realme X2 Pro and the device has been a highly anticipated one. The device has been revealed to launch for the European market in Madrid on October 15. A leaked poster shared by tipster Mukul Sharma on Twitter revealed this much.
The leaked poster also confirms that the device will pack a quad camera setup at the rear. The four sensors are arranged vertically at the top left corner of the back panel.
The Realme X2 Pro is expected to feature a 6.55-inch full HD display with support for Bluetooth 5.0 and dual-band Wi-Fi connectivity. The device will also run on ColorOS 6.0. It is also expected to retain the 64MP main camera and 32MP selfie shooter onboard the Realme X2. It is powered by a Snapdragon 855 chipset.
The Chinese authority commenced the issuance of 5G licenses in June this year. Presently, there are up to eleven 5G phones from different OEMs in China. The growth is expected to increase next year as more 5G phones and base stations sprout. China is expected to achieve the record of hosting the world’s largest 5G network.
In all this, the biggest winner will likely be Huawei as the tech giant is expected to corner 50% of the domestic 5G mobile phone share in 2020, according to a report by Chinese website Express Technology. The report reveals that Huawei is actively deploying 5G products, including 5G base stations, communication equipment, smart phones and servers, especially 5G smart phones. It is estimated that 50% of the domestic 5G mobile phone market will be taken by Huawei in 2020.
In addition, the server field is also a major focus of Huawei. Currently, Huawei ranks second in the domestic market with a market share of 17% to 19%. Due to the pressure from the United States, Huawei intends to exclude US manufacturers in the 5G supply chain, focusing on supporting non-US companies . In this process, TSMC and other companies will also benefit. TSMC’s advanced semiconductor process technology will be used by various OEMs on products like 5G procssor including Huawei’s Kirin series as well as on Quaalcomm chips and other products. TSMC has already been forced to speed up its 5nm manufacturing process by 5G demands. In 2020, TSMC’s performance in 5G is expected to account for 13% of its total revenue.

Samsung Electronics Vice-Chairman Lee Jae-yong arrived in India on Sunday sparking conjectures that the South Korean giant could invest further in the country to broaden its presence in the world’s second-largest smartphone market.
Lee arrived on Sunday and was briefed by Samsung Electronics officials in Mumbai over the company’s mobile business there, according to the sources. It is believed to be Lee’s first visit to India since March.
Industry sources speculated that Lee could hold a meeting with Mukesh Ambani, the chief of India’s leading conglomerate Reliance Industries, during his India visit. Lee is likely to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani this week, reports Yonhap news agency.
Samsung is one of the equipment suppliers for Reliance Jio’s 4G network business. With the Indian telecom firm planning to establish a 5G network in the country, industry observers speculate that the two moguls may consult on the issue if there is a meeting. Chances are, there will be some interesting news to come out of this when it eventually happens.
Outside of 4G networking, the company has also been a big player in the Indian mobile space for a long time. In July last year, Samsung India set up one of the world’s largest mobile manufacturing facilities in Noida, Uttar Pradesh. PM Modi and South Korean President Moon Jae-in inaugurated the 35-acre Samsung Electronics facility.
Folks in Singapore will soon be able to purchase Huawei’s latest flagship Huawei Mate 30 Pro, though there are a surprising slew of caveats involved in the process.
First off, there’re only a limited number of Mate 30 Pros available — only 200 customers will be chosen to be part of an exclusive group who’ll be able to test out and purchase the phone in a private event. And if you do want to be one of the lucky few invited, you’ll have to first register your interest for the Mate 30 Pro on the Huawei website before Oct 16.
This variant of the Mate 30 Pro comes with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. It will be available in Black and Space Silver, at a retail price of S$1298. Huawei said the Mate 30 Pro is an “exclusive model” with limited quantities in the region, and only 200 people will be selected at random to purchase the device at a private event this month.
Anyone who buys a Mate 30 Pro during these events are entitled to a bunch accessories worth S$463. These consist of the DJI Osmo Mobile 3 Combo, a wireless car charger, a phone case and a power bank. The phone will also come with services, such as door-to-door repair pick-up and delivery for a year, two-year warranty, and a free screen replacement within the first three months of purchase.
If you can get past the fact that you won’t be able to use Google apps and services (though the loophole suddenly reopened again), then the Huawei Mate 30 Pro is one of the best devices currently available on the market.
The OnePlus 7T already launched more than a week ago but OnePlus did not announce the OnePlus 7T Pro. That will launch this month, and when it arrives it will bring along a special edition called the OnePlus 7T Pro McLaren Edition.
OnePlus’ CEO and co-founder, Pete Lau, has shared a teaser of the phone’s retail box. The image was shared on Twitter and it shows the phone will come in a black box with a carbon fiber pattern. The box also has McLaren’s orange accent which should be the color of the interior.

The Motorola One Macro is an upcoming smartphone with quad rear cameras. Last week, we reported that the phone may launch this week in India but we didn’t have a specific date. While Motorola India is yet to confirm the launch date, leaked promo materials have revealed the device will indeed be unveiled this week on Wednesday, October 9.
The leaked promo materials which were posted on Twitter by Mukul Sharma (@stufflistings) reveal that the Motorola One Macro will be unveiled on Wednesday, October 9.
[envira-gallery id=”281120″]
The materials also mention features such as lag-free multitasking, rapid charging, a processor with power-efficient performance and of course, macro photography. No specific details about the phone’s specs were mentioned.
Seeing as there are only two days left to the launch, it is surprising that Motorola itself hasn’t announced the launch date. The last post on the official Motorola India Twitter account was on Friday, the 4th of October and it was a teaser for the upcoming phone. The official Instagram account is no different.
According to previous leaks, the phone will have an Helio P60 processor, quad rear cameras, 2GB or 4GB of RAM, up to 64GB of storage, a 5.7-inch HD+ screen, and a 4000mAh battery. It will run Android 9 Pie out of the box and have a price tag over $200.
Xiaomi‘s MIJIA-brand smart camera comes in several shapes and sizes but a few things peculiar to all is the minimalist design, smart feature and quality picture output. Xiaomi launched the MIJIA Xiaobai Smart Camera Battery version and it is now on sale on Jingdong. The camera keeps up with the minimalist design language Xiaomi is known for and is equally affordable, priced at 399 yuan ($56).
The MIJIA Xiaobai Smart Camera is entirely a wireless camera and can be installed indoors and outdoors. The standout feature on board is the huge 5100mAh battery which it packs. That is what qualifies this as the version and so there is likely a non-battery version. The battery can last up to 100 days on a single charge. It comes along with motion detection feature which is triggered when a human body is detected. In that case, the camera starts recording, and the video is then uploaded to the cloud storage. The camera then enters the low power mode.
In addition, the Mijia Xiaobai smart camera battery version also has IP65 dustproof and waterproof design. The camera has 8 infrared night vision lights, and the camera is equipped with F2.6 aperture, which can record 1080p video. Users can view the real-time picture on the mobile phone.
To begin with, the smartphone will be called “Motorola One” and it will be a mid-range handset and not a flagship which was previously claimed. In terms of looks, it has an elegant design with an edge-to-edge on the front and a glass back. Besides, as previously mentioned it also has a pop-up selfie camera which makes it the first smartphone from Motorola to have this feature.
The rear glass panel of the Motorola One accommodates a triple camera setup, company branding and a fingerprint sensor which is surrounded by an LED ring which is seen for the first time on any smartphone. The bottom of the handset houses the loudspeaker grille, microphone pinhole and a USB type C port which can be used for charging and data transfer. On the other hand, its top houses the selfie camera module and a 3.5 mm headphone jack.
Specifications of the Motorola One are as follows:
Connectivity Options: 4G VoLTE, 802.11 a/b/g/n/ Wi-Fi, NFC, FM Radio, headphone jack, Bluetooth 5.0
RAM: 4GB
ROM: 128 GB, expandable via microSD
Security and Other Features: rear mounted fingerprint sensor, LED on the fingerprint sensor, Dual-SIM hybrid tray
Android: Android 9, Upgradable to Android 10

All in all, the Motorola One looks like a well-built smartphone that is packed with worthy features. As observed latest offerings from the company which include the Motorola One Vision and Motorola One Action, the upcoming handset is expected to have an aggressive price tag.

Motorola seems intent on getting us confused with the naming of its phones that we won’t seem to notice they all look like each other. The Motorola One Action and One Zoom were both launched in quick succession recently. Now, the tech giant is set to launch the Motorola One Macro this week. Ahead of the launch, the real-life images of the One Macro have appeared online via MySmartPrice.
The leaked images confirm the design as contained in the renders that have leaked earlier on. The device packs a waterdrop notch display which reduced the bezel on the top. There is also a considerable amount of bezels at the bottom. The device comes with a USB Type-C port for charging and data transfer at the bottom edge flanked by the speaker grille, and the secondary microphone.
The Motorola One Macro utilises a gradient finish on the rear panel which appears to be made of glass. The panel houses a quad-camera setup arranged vertically at the top left corner. Three of the camera sensors and an LED flash are encased in a module while a fourth sensor, likely the macro lens, is located at a separate module at the top. The volume rockers and power button are located at the right edge while the SIM slot is at the left.
The power button and the volume rocker are on the right side of the device while the SIM tray is on the left side. The fingerprint sensor here will be a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner embedded underneath the Motorola logo. Again, nothing new here and we will get to see the usual Motorola design language at the back.
On the internals, the Moto One Macro is expected to be fuelled by an Helio P60 chipset and it will come preloaded with Android 9 Pie OS. The handset is expected to arrive as an Android One device may pack a large-sized battery of 4,000mAh.
