ZTE Blade 20 real images and user manual make the round via FCC listing

Some years back, it is a usual trend to see most phone makers imitate the design of the latest iPhone. That seems to have changed in recent times as Apple now looks like the one copying design features from Android OEMs. The latest iPhone 11 Pro came with a triple camera arranged in a square module that looks like a less impressive version of the Mate 20 Pro cameras. OnePlus 7T also came with a similar design. But it looks like that square camera module design will be adopted by many OEMs. An FCC listing said to be for the ZTE Blade 20 (Blade V20?) has appeared online with the rear panel housing a square camera module.ZTE Blade V20

TheFCC listing serves us some details of the Blade 20, including the user manual and the entire design. It is difficult making out the front design clearly but it looks like the phone has a notch. The rear design includes the square-shaped camera module housing three camera sensors and an LED flash. The module is nested at the top left corner of the panel.

The phone also comes with a rear fingerprint sensor which means it is not an LED panel with an on-screen fingerprint sensor. The power button and volume rockers are located at the right side of the display. The phone uses a USB-C port and retains the 3.5mm headphone jack.ZTE Blade 20

The Blade 20 is equipped with a large 5000mAh battery with support for 18W fast charge. Other specifications are unknown. We also don’t know when it will be launch but that should be far off.

OnePlus 7T vs Redmi K20 Pro vs Huawei Mate 30: Specs Comparison

Affordable flagship smartphones are the most intelligent choice for advanced users who have a limited budget. A few days ago, OnePlus 7T was officially announced and unlike the OnePlus 7 series, it did not debut alongside a top-tier Pro variant. We only got the vanilla version, but it still comes with so amazing specs that it is hard to define it as an affordable flagship. But is it really the best phone to buy on its price range? There are a lot of affordable flagships released in 2019 and it is all but easy to define the best for every kind of user. Among the most important OnePlus 7T rivals there are Redmi K20 Pro and Huawei Mate 30, which will be the opponents of the new OnePlus flagship in this in-depth specs comparison.

Design

Nothing special in terms of design for the OnePlus 7T and neither for the Huawei Mate 30. They are classic smartphones with glass backs and a notched display, but they still come with premium materials, especially the Huawei Mate 30 which even boasts splash protection. But the champion of design is the Redmi K20 Pro due to its innovative pop-up camera, a notch-less display, and a glass back with suggestive light effects. Note that besides being more attractive, Redmi K20 Pro is also the most compact phone here, due to its smaller display.

 

Display

This year OnePlus 7T has put a lot of effort on the displays of its flagships. For the first time, OnePlus phones sport a 90 Hz refresh ratio delivering a smoother viewing experience. Further, the OnePlus 7T has richer colors thanks to the HDR10+ standard making it perfect for multimedia. The displays of Huawei Mate 30 and Redmi K20 Pro are not so different in terms of quality, and they are both inferior to the OnePlus 7T.

 

Hardware/Software

Not only the best display: OnePlus 7T also sports the most advanced hardware department if we consider speed and performance. Its main advantage is the presence of a Snapdragon 855+ chipset which is currently the most amazing chipset in the whole Android world. Further, Oneplus’ software optimization is unbeatable, so alongside the SD855+, it forms the perfect combination for power users. But Huawei Mate 30 provides an important feature: unlike the OnePlus 7T, it has optional 5G connectivity as its Kirin 990 chipset can be equipped with a 5G modem. OnePlus 7T and Huawei Mate 30 are powered by Android 10, while Redmi K20 Pro still comes with Android 9 Pie out of the box.

 

Camera

The most amazing camera on the paper belongs to the Huawei Mate 30 which supports 3x optical zoom, OIS and an amazing 40 MP main sensor with an f/1.8 aperture. But we are yet to test the camera performance of the OnePlus 7T thoroughly, and we may remain surprised if we think that it has a very bright focal aperture for its main sensor. On the paper, Huawei Mate 30 also has a better selfie camera, paired with a 3D TOF sensor for 3D facial recognition.

 

Battery

We believe that thanks to its bigger 4200 mAh battery and its very efficient Kirin 990 chipset built at 7nm+ by TSMC, Huawei Mate 30 will offer a long battery life. It is also the only device in this comparison to feature fast wireless charging and reverse wireless charging, while you can charge the OnePlus 7T and Redmi K20 Pro only through a USB-C cable.

 

Price

Xiaomi Redmi K20 Pro is currently available for less than €400/$440, Huawei Mate 30 starts from €550/$605 and OnePlus 7T costs about $600/$545. Since it features a bigger battery, optional 5G connectivity, reverse wireless charging, an amazing camera setup, and splashproof protection, Huawei Mate 30 is overall my favorite one. But OnePlus 7T boasts a better display and performance, so it might be better for several people.

OnePlus 8 3D renders reveal punch-hole display; will have wireless charging too

The OnePlus 7T is still fresh out of the oven and yet to launch in many other markets but we already have OnePlus 8 leaks!!! Yes, 3D renders of the next OnePlus flagship have been posted on the web more than 6 months before the phone’s launch.

OnePlus 8 featured

The source, like all other 3D renders is OnLeaks and this time he has partnered with CashKaro. The renders are based on actual leaked dimensions and engineering drawings.

For the OnePlus 8, OnePlus is ditching the waterdrop notch of the OnePlus 7 and OnePlus 7T in favor of a punch-hole. The display is curved on the sides like that of the OnePlus 7 Pro.

The phone measures 160.2 x 72.9 x 8.1 millimeters with a display that roughly measures 6.5-inches. The screen is definitely AMOLED and there is an in-display fingerprint scanner too. Oh! And of course, it has a 90Hz refresh rate since OnePlus already said that all its future phones will have 90Hz Fluid Displays.

[envira-gallery id=”280593″]

On the rear, OnePlus is keeping the vertical camera setup of the OnePlus 7 but this time around there are three cameras just like we have on the new OnePlus 7T. Below the camera housing which protrudes is an LED flash and the OnePlus logo.

The OnePlus 8 has its power button and alert slider on the right while the volume rocker is on the left. The SIM tray is at the bottom. There are antenna lines at the top, sides, and bottom of the frame. The bottom speaker is also now a slit and not a grille. There is also no grille for the primary microphone.

It has also been reported that the OnePlus 8 will have support for Wireless Charging but we don’t know the power rating.

The OnePlus 8 will also have a Pro version but we also don’t know what it will look like. We presume it will retain the pop-up camera design but maybe come with four rear cameras. Both phones should come with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 865 processor.

Do share your opinion about the OnePlus 8’s design in the comment box.

Maxis and Huawei collaborate for the provisioning of 5G network in Malaysia

Malaysia’s Maxis and Huawei Technologies Malaysia have sealed an agreement for the provisioning of the 5G service network in Malaysia. The signing ceremony that took place at the Perdana Leadership Foundation in Putrajaya today, was witnessed by Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad. This marks an important milestone for Maxis and it is a commitment to launch 5G in Malaysia together with its long-term network partner, Huawei.

As part of the agreement Huawei will be supplying 4G/LTE and 5G radio equipment and services to Maxis. Besides having access to 5G technologies, Maxis will be able to modernise its existing LTE network to be 5G ready. The local telco provider will also be able to facilitate the faster rollout of 5G services when the spectrum is available.

The telco also added that Maxis will also gain access to insights, standards, products and solutions that would make 5G easier to deploy and operate and to introduce new use cases in Malaysia. Huawei will be putting together a team of experts to support Maxis on a series of technical training programmes for the 5G network.

According to Huawei, they have been working together with Maxis over 10 years and have supported the telco to become the undisputed network leader in the country. Maxis is the first telco to bring 4G to the market and they have continued to invest significantly in this area to maintain its 4G leadership in terms of speed, performance and experience.

In February, Maxis and Huawei had signed a memorandum of understanding to cooperate on full-fledged 5G trials. Maxis then started its first 5G live trials in the country and participated in the MCMC #5GMalaysia showcase in Putrajaya. If all goes according to plan, the commercial 5G spectrum will be ready in the second half of 2020.

Call of Duty: Mobile breaks 20 million downloads and $2 million sales in under three days

Game maker Activision’s latest release Call of Duty: Mobile, made in conjuncture with Tencent Games, is the number one free app on the Google Play Store in as many as 33 countries, according to a Sensor Tower report.  The mobile incarnation of the Call of Duty franchise has already been downloaded over 20 million times.

“Call of Duty: Mobile has racked up more than $2 million spent on 20 million installs so far, according to Sensor Tower estimates. This includes Activision and Garena’s versions of the game,” claims the Sensor Tower’s report. This is a massive success for Activision, and it’s exactly what the company needed after a bumpy and unstable first quarter.

The game is being praised widely for its inclusion of multiple game modes. Call of Duty: Mobile has combined its signature gaming modes like Team Deathmatch, Search & Destroy, Domination, Frontline with the more contemporary Battle Royale, offering more range of choices than any other free free-person-shooter.

You can download the game for free on iOS, and Android devices. The game requires no money to play and does not even limit the number of rounds you can play between other content. It’s a surprisingly positive step for Activision who are infamous for not being the most gamer friendly when it comes to microtransactions and such.

Realme X2 Pro to have 50W SuperVOOC Flash Charge not 65W

The Realme X2 Pro will be Realme’s first flagship phone. A Snapdragon 855 Plus processor and a display with a 90Hz refresh rate are some of its top features. Earlier, it was reported that the phone will support 65W fast charging but it turns out that is not the case.

The official Realme Europe Twitter account has shared a new teaser for the device and it reveals the Realme X2 Pro will come with 50W SuperVOOC Flash Charge, the same as that of the OPPO Find X Lamborghini Edition.

While OPPO, which is Realme’s parent company does have a 65W Flash Charge technology called SuperVOOC 2.0, the Realme X2 Pro will not use it.

Even by today’s standard, 50W is superfast and way faster than what is available on 90% of the phones on the market right now, so we are pretty much fine with it.

Based on this new development, the OPPO Reno Ace is still the only device that has been confirmed will come with 65W SuperVOOC 2.0 Flash Charge.

The Realme X2 Pro will have quad rear cameras which will include a 64MP primary camera, an ultrawide angle lens with a 115° field of view, a telephoto lens, and a portrait lens. It will also have 20X hybrid zoom and be able to take macro photos.

New videos show capabilities of the new Google Assistant on Pixel 4

Google has scheduled a launch event on 15th October where the company is all set to launch the Pixel 4 series flagship smartphones, a couple of Nest devices as well as Pixel Buds 2 wireless earphones.

Ahead of the launch of the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL, most of their specifications and features have already leaked online. Now, a new video has surfaced online which showcases the power of the new Google Assistant present on the Pixel 4 smartphone.

If the reports are to be believed, then the Pixel 4 series will come with a new Google Assistant which will have all the features of the “old” Google Assistant as well as some new additions. A promo video of the same has now leaked online, giving us idea about how powerful the updated Assistant will be.

The video shows people using voice commands to control aspects of their phones. In one video, the user is asking Assistant about the nearest metro station once the directions are provided by the app, the user then asks Google to send a text to their friend to let them know they are on the way.

In another example, it is shown that a person arrives at a secluded area on a lake and asks Google Assistant to turn on Do Not Disturb mode, which it does. Do note that the current version of Assistant can also do these tasks.

However, in the video, we can see that the user interface of the so-called new Google Assistant has been updated. It now looks much simpler and has a colorful bar at the bottom that moves along with different functions.

There’s another example which showcases the new Assistant’s capabilities. In the video, the user gets a text from a friend asking when their flight lands. The user then asks Assistant “What time is my flight?” and it pulls up the information without even needing to switch apps.

Afterwards, the user says another command “Reply I get in at 5:45 PM”, without saying “OK Google” at the beginning. But since Assistant can understand the context of that query, it already knows what to do. Now, this is an advanced feature that’s currently not possible with Assistant which such efficiency.

There’s yet another video showcasing the feature where the user says “Show me my photos from last weekend.” Then, Google Assistant opens Google Photos and shows the user’s photos from the previous weekend. This is followed by the user saying “Show me the ones with a dog” and it only shows photos that feature a dog from that past weekend.

It remains to be seen if the new Google Assistant will be limited to the new Pixel 4 series flagship smartphones or the company rolls out the feature for other devices as well.

Dual Camera-toting Huawei ART-TL00X’ TENAA images surface

Huawei has a new smartphone coming soon. TENAA images of the device which has model number ART-TL00X have now surfaced on the web to give us an early look.

The Huawei ART-TL00X has a display with a punch hole for the camera in the top right corner just like that of the Huawei Nova 4. The display is over 6-inches in size but the exact dimension is not known.

On the back, the phone has dual cameras arranged vertically on the left side of the phone. The sensors share the same housing with the LED flash, and the setup, when viewed from the sides, shows a camera bump that is quite visible.

The Huawei ART-TL00X has a blue-green gradient finish but there should be other color variants available when it launches. The volume and power buttons are on the right while the SIM tray is on the left side of the frame

What is unusual about the phone is its lack of a fingerprint scanner on the rear and on the sides. It is either it doesn’t have one at all, making it an entry-level smartphone or there is one under the display. If it is the latter, that means it is an AMOLED display and that will make it the first non-Samsung phone with a punch-hole screen with an in-display fingerprint scanner.

The specs of the phone are still unknown but they should become known when TENAA publishes the listing after the Chinese holidays.
