Samsung Galaxy Fold is yet to go on sale but the company may be planning to unveil its second foldable device early next year. There are indications that the luxury phone is one that folds down into a compact-sized square.
According to people familiar with the product’s development, the device comes with a 6.7-inch inner display that comes down to a pocketable square when it’s folded inward like a clamshell. The company is said to have got plans to make the device affordable. It is also expected to have a thinner build than this year’s Galaxy Fold. One key advantage that the 6.7-inch foldable phone for next year will have over the Fold is that its shape when open will be basically that of a smartphone: so it will run Android phone apps in their native state. The Galaxy Fold opens to a squarer aspect ratio and larger screen, and so it demands that apps be customized or adapted to best make use of its full dimensions.
Samsung is testing the use of Ultra-Thin Glass (UTG) for the inner display of its next foldable, which would measure in at only 3% the thickness of the glass conventionally used to protect smartphone displays. At the same time, the company will want to ensure the durability of its foldable devices and avoid any repeat of the Galaxy Fold debacle.
The foldable phone will also have a punch-hole design at the top of the inner display which will house the selfie camera. The source also hints that design is similar to that of the recently launched Galaxy Note 10. On the outside part, there will be a dual-camera setup which faces the rear when the phone is flipped open and faces the front when it is closed. The Korean tech giant is also said to be in collaboration with American designer Thom Browne for its upcoming foldable phone. This is in a bid to make its product appeal to a broader range of consumers including those more interested in fashion, status and luxury than a device’s tech specs.
One of the sources, however, hinted that the launch of the second foldable device may hinge on how well the Fold performs after its imminent launch.
Ahead of the official launch, Chinese media outlets have managed to snag a hands-on unit of the Honor 20S, and they’ve shared images of the device online. They gives us an excellently detailed look at the device’s design, as well as some of the features it’ll come with. So, without further ado, let’s take a closer look at the upcoming Honor 20S.
First off, perhaps one of the more interesting things regarding the device is the side-mounted fingerprint scanner. We’ve seen similar implementations before like with the Meizu M6S and with the Honor 20 Pro as well. The same design continues with the new 20S too. Next thing we get a real close look at is the hole punch camera that’s offset to the left unlike the Galaxy Note 10.
On the top of the phone, we can see that the device features an IR blaster, which is pretty nice considering how some devices are dropping it altogether. There’s a slight chin, but otherwise it’s completely bezeless. Outside of that, the pictures don’t really reveal anything we don’t already know, especially since we already know so much.
We know that it’s coming with a Kirin 810 SoC, and we also know feature details like the 10 different beauty modes it’ll have. Really, all we really need to know now is pricing, but I doubt we’ll hear anything about that. The device is launching later today, so we won’t need to wait long to find out more.
In order to be one of the best gaming phones out there, a gaming-centric device must offer amazing performances and, in order to achieve such a result, it needs a flagship-class hardware department. That is what the main gaming smartphones manufacturers opted for, including Nubia, before launching the Red Magic 3. But in the second half of 2019, Qualcomm decided to release a new chipset: the Snapdragon 855+, which is an upgraded version of the Snapdragon 855 and offers even better performance in both gaming and daily use.
Even though Nubia already released a gaming phone this year, it decided to adapt to the market in order to keep offering a gaming phone with the most powerful hardware department you can expect in 2019. That is why Nubia Red Magic 3S, that is the upgraded version of the Red Magic 3, is coming soon. A few hours before the launch, below you can find a rumor roundup with all the details we know about the upcoming Red Magic 3S which will officially debut on September 5.
Red Magic 3
A better chipset: Snapdragon 855+
The existence of the new Snapdragon 855+ SoC is undoubtedly the main reason because of Nubia decided to release a new gaming phone this year. So, the Red Magic 3S will be equipped with the best Qualcomm’s mobile platform. Compared to the Snapdragon 855, the new Snapdragon 855+ offers 15 percent more graphics performance and a higher clock frequency (2.96 GHz vs 2.84 GHz).
According to leaked benchmarks, the Snapdragon 855+ on the Nubia Red Magic 3S will be paired with 12 GB of RAM, UFS 3.0 internal storage and F2FS file system support, that is the best memory configuration you can expect in 2019 in terms of performance. And it is not a case that Nubia Red Magic 3S scored 510,496 on AnTuTu benchmark: one of the highest scores ever reached by a mobile phone. The phone was spotted on AnTuTu with the model number NX629J which leaves no doubts about its identity.
High refresh ratio became a trend not only for gamers but also for casual users as it offers a smoother user experience. A high refresh ratio is an even more important advantage for gamers as it makes the gameplay more reactive. That is why Nubia Red Magic 3S will feature a display with a 90 Hz refresh ratio. It is not the highest refresh ratio available on a phone, but that is still amazing for games. Further, the phone will boast 4D vibration feedback for a more immersive gaming experience. Thanks to 4D vibration, holding the phone will be even more similar to holding a gaming controller.
A new sound experience
Ahead of the launch, Nubia released a few teasers revealing some key specifications of the Red Magic 3S. Among these teasers, there is one confirming that the gaming phone will support 3D surround sound. Alongside the 4D vibration feedback, such technology will enhance the gaming experience even more by offering tridimensional audio. We obviously expect stereo speakers on board of the Nubia Red Magic 3S in order to take advantage of this feature in the best way.
The other specifications
Given that it will be an upgrade, we expect the Nubia Red Magic 3S to retain the rest of the specs of its predecessor. The vanilla Red Magic 3 boasts a wide 6.65-inch display and it has a gaming-centric design with an RGB LED strip on the rear side. It is the only gaming phone to feature an air cooling system with a real fan running at 14,000 rpm. It is also supported by a liquid-cooled copper tube to dissipate the heat even more.
The handset comes with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of internal storage. It is also the gaming phone with the biggest battery out there: 5000 mAh with the support to 18W fast charging (Quick Charge 4+ by Qualcomm). It has DTS audio, stereo speakers a 48 MP main camera with an f/1.7 aperture and a rear-mounted fingerprint reader. The front camera has a 16 MP resolution and an f/2.0 aperture, while the operating system installed is Android 9 Pie customized by Red Magic 2.0 UI.
Nubia Red Magic 3S Launch Date
Through an official poster, Nubia officially confirmed that Red Magic 3S will be announced on September 5 in China. The poster also suggests that the phone will have an air cooling system, and that is perfectly in line with its predecessor. Given that it will not carry a very high price tag, the Nubia Red Magic 3S will be the perfect rival of the recent Black Shark 2 Pro.
In case you never heard of it, it is Xiaomi’s upgrade of the Black Shark 2 and it is equipped with a Snapdragon 855+ SoC just like the upcoming Red Magic 3S. It recently hitten the shelves with a starting price tag of about €450, so we expect a similar price tag even for the upcoming Nubia’s flagship.
Google released the Android 10 stable update a few hours ago and while the Pixel phones are already receiving the update, they won’t be the only ones getting it today. Redmi is also rolling out the Android 10 stable update to the Redmi K20 Pro flagship.
Yes, the Redmi K20 Pro users are already receiving the Android 10 stable update in China (and also in India). The update is still based on MIUI 10 since MIUI 11 is yet to be announced but it is exciting news nonetheless. We are still surprised as Xiaomi just began recruiting testers for Android 10 only about a month ago.
The update is 2.4GB in size and is available for download manually from the links below:
With the Redmi K20 Pro out of the way, we expect the update to get announced for the Mi 9T Pro which is the international variant of the phone.
The official Redmi account says other models will receive the update soon. We also expect Xiaomi to release the stable update for the Mi MIX 3 5G and Mi 9 which were also part of the Android beta program.
It is official! Android 10 stable version is out and rolling out to devices.
#Android10 is here 🎉 and ready to help. Full of new and familiar features, Android is more inclusive, accessible and safer than ever. pic.twitter.com/uszOlbGm6P
Android 10 brings new features, key ones being a system-wide dark theme and a new swipe-based navigation. Below are 10 new features that Android 10 brings to your phone:
Live Caption
This is a pretty interesting feature. With Live Caption, videos including those you record yourself, podcasts, and audio messages get captioned when activated. And the best thing is that it doesn’t require Wi-Fi or data.
Smart Reply
With Android 9 Pie, you received suggested responses when you receive a message or mail. Android 10 takes it even further with Smart Reply. A message containing a location or address will now include suggestions to open related apps such as Maps for directions to the place.
Sound Amplifier
This is an app that boosts sounds, filter background noises and provides an overall better audio experience when you plug in your headphones to watch a video or listen to an audio file.
Gesture Navigation
Android 10 brings a new gesture navigation system that includes swipes and pulls. You now have to pull from the left to go back, swipe upwards to go home, and drag the bar to the left or right to switch between apps.
Dark Theme
Google finally listened and has now added a dark theme to Android. Google says it uses true black for the dark theme which should bring improvements to battery life and also reduce the strain on your eyes. Google Apps like Gmail, photos, and the calendar take on a dark theme when you switch.
New Emojis
Android 10 brings up to 65 new emojis including gender-inclusive ones for pre-existing emojis.
Privacy Controls
With Android 10, users now have more controls over their privacy. You can customize which app gets access to your location and when. You can choose what data is stored and for how long. You can also opt-out of personalized ads.
Faster Security Updates
With Android 10, security updates and fixes will be rolled out via Google Play (Play Store) and you will receive them just the way your apps receive new updates.
Usability Enhancements
Android 10 brings a number of new ways to improve how you use your device. One of these is Contaminant Detection which will send a notification if there moisture or dirt in your USB port.
Android Auto is also built-in now. All you have to do is plug in your phone and begin using Android Auto on your car’s display.
Another feature is Dynamic System Updates which allows developers to load a different system image on their device for testing without affecting the original system image.
Digital Wellbeing
You can now set timers for websites and not only apps. There is also a new feature called Focus Mode which allows you to minimize distractions and pause preselected apps. Digital Wellbeing also gets parental controls allowing you to set screen time limits, see device location, and manage what they see.
There are several more new features baked into Android 10 that we can’t cover here. Have you received the Android 10 update? Let us know what new features you like and those you have discovered that we didn’t mention.
Samsung‘s tribulations with its now-notorious Galaxy Fold haven’t been enough to deter the smart phone giant from pushing the device and idea further. After a long wait where Samsung claimed they were reworking the Galaxy Fold, it seems like the company is ready to reintroduce the device to the world.
Now, we expected to see a mention of the Galaxy Fold at IFA, but it seems Samsung already has a VIP pre-sale going on in South Korea. The VIP pre-sale consists of only 165 Galaxy Fold units which have been supplied to a dozen Samsung Digital Plaza stores in the country. VIP customers are reportedly able to choose their color combinations for the Galaxy Fold, and they’ll get a free Montblanc case to go with it.
VIP customers can pay the smartphone’s full price of 2,398,000 Won ($1975) and orders will apparently be fulfilled beginning September 11. Priority in terms of shipping will be given to VIPs according to their times of purchase. The report seems to mention that 10 Galaxy Fold units have already been pre-sold through at least one of Samsung’s Digital Plaza stores in just one day, which is fairly surprising considering the price.
For the rest of the non-VIP folk, the Samsung Galaxy Fold’s formal launch event will allegedly be taking place on September 6th in South Korea. Normal pre-orders in for South Korea will then begin on September 16th. We also expect it to make an appearance over at IFA Berlin. There’s even an online pre-registration form for registering interest for US and UK customers.
Redmi announced the Redmi K20 Series in India back in July. The lineup has been quite popular in the market because of its aggressive pricing and top-end specifications. At launch, the phone was available in just three colors: Carbon Black, Flame Red, and Pearl Blue. However, Redmi has decided to add one more color to the Redmi K20 series in India.
It takes no time for the in-display fingerprint sensor to unlock the #RedmiK20 series. Let's see if you can find the hidden message faster than that. Ready? Hint: Check the 🖊️
Earlier today, the company teased the new color option for the lineup on twitter. We can clearly see the words “The White Will Be Here Tomorrow, See You Then” etched on the pearl inside the image. Given that we recently saw Redmi release a Summer Honey White version for the Redmi K20 Pro in China, it’s clear that the same color is making its way to India tomorrow.
Redmi K20 Pro comes in Summer Honey White in China
Of course, expect the naming to be different when it lands in India. For example, the Astro white that was announced for the Redmi Note 7 Pro was called as the ‘Mirror Flower Water Moon’ when it was released in China back in July. It is also worth noting that the Summer Honey White is only available for the Pro version in China. So, it remains to be seen whether the non-Pro version gets this color in India.
In February this year, Xiaomi launched its own version of the Google Hub – the XiaoAI smart touchscreen speaker. The design was the usual minimalist one but the quality is topnotch. The XiaoAI speaker has clinched two different international awards as a result of its amazing design.
The speaker was one of the winning products for the 2019 German Red Dot Design award announced on July 30. Again, the XiaoAI Touchscreen speaker also won the 2019 US Industrial Design Excellence Award (IDEA) recently.
The XiaoAI touchscreen smart speaker is very much different from its predecessors in terms of the design as it comes with a touchscreen display. The device features a 4-inch display which has space for a custom digital clock. The display can also be used to select music and watch videos and a variety of apps can be installed on the device. it also comes with an alarm clock. The smart speaker will come with a large number of video resources as well as Tencent’s Q music library. The XiaoAI smart speaker can also be integrated with a host of smart home gadgets such as the smart cameras, smart doorbells and several others.
Unfortunately, Xiaomi is yet to integrate the English or any other language apart from Chinese into its smart assistant so this speaker is just useless to non-Chinese speakers. However, we believe the company has got plans to integrate other languages in the near future.
If you are one of those expecting Xiaomi to announce a Pro version of the Mi A3, you may be in for a disappointment. While earlier reports have said the Xiaomi CC9 may be sold outside China as the Mi A3 Pro just as its sibling the CC9e is sold as the Android One phone, the Mi A3, that may not happen.
We reported a few days ago that a phone called the Mi 9 Lite was found on Google’s list of certified Android devices. The list revealed the phone is related to the Mi CC9, one of the two phones developed by Xiaomi and Meitu. Now, more info has surfaced saying the Mi CC9 will indeed launch as the Mi 9 Lite outside China.
The source of the info is a tweet by Xiaomishka a few days ago. According to him, a colleague and a Polish retailer confirmed that the Mi CC9 will be sold as the Mi 9 Lite for the global market.
#Xiaomi#MiCC9#Mi9Lite Guys do you remember, that model M1904F3BG appeared in EEC database? Then we thought it would be a #mia3pro or Mi CC9 Global Version. Now my colleague and the Polish retailer confirmed that in the global market the Mi CC9 will be sold as Mi 9 Lite.
The Mi 9 Lite should be priced close to the Mi 9 SE. Although the Mi 9 SE has a slightly more powerful processor and better cameras (on paper), the Mi 9 Lite/Xiaomi CC9 offers a bigger display and a bigger battery capacity.
Xiaomi has officially announced that the Mijia negative ion portable hairdryer will go on crowdfunding sales at 10 AM on September 4. The device comes with a retail price of 99 yuan ($13) but the crowdfunding price is only 79 yuan ($11).
The MIJIA Negative Ion Portable Hair Dryer looks like the cheapest of all the hairdryers Xiaomi has launched to date. A couple of months back, the Zhibai three-layer hydrating hair dryer was launched on crowdfunding, priced at 799 yuan ($115). But this version costs a lot less than that.
Specification-wise, the gadget is also a decent setup. The MIJIA portable hairdryer uses a high-performance high-speed motor with a speed of up to 18000rpm and wind speed of up to 12m/s. It uses a 6-wing fan blade. The hair dryer comes with two wind speeds.
The device also comes with a built-in negative ion generator which instantly generates tens of millions of negative ions which are released to the hair outer layer. The negative ion neutralizes static electricity, smooth the hair, closes the scales so that the hair is as soft and shiny as the needed.
In terms of design, the surface of the MIJIA Negative Ion Portable Hair Dryer is designed with a warm matte finish, which is gentle and delicate, and foldable for easy storage. It is lightweight and portable.

Android 10, which was known as Android Q earlier, is expected to start rolling out to Google Pixel series smartphones from tomorrow but it will be a long wait for most of the Android smartphone users before they get this latest update.
OnePlus, which has been a part of Android Q Beta program, has started rolling out Android Q Developer Preview 5 for the users of OnePlus 7 and 7 Pro smartphones, which is based on Android Q Beta 6.
OnePlus 7
The changelog for the new update reveals that this new version comes with improved system functionality and stability. It also adds OnePlus’ full-screen gesture navigation. To install this update, OnePlus is recommending that the battery level of the OnePlus 7 or OnePlus 7 Pro should be above 30 percent and a minimum of 3 GB of storage is available before flashing this update to the smartphone.
Given that this is a Developer Preview, the build is not stable for the day-to-day usage. There are a few known issues, mainly being the app compatibility problems and well as issues related to the Google Pay app. Some users are also reporting system lag and stability issues from time to time.
As per the reports, this Android Q Developer Preview 5 could to be the last developer preview for the OP7 and 7 Pro smartphones and after this, the company should start rolling out the stable Android 10 build. However, do keep in mind that the company has not officially acknowledged this.
There are reports claiming that OnePlus wants to be among the first to offer software update shortly after Google releases it. What remains to be seen is if OnePlus is able to pull it off this time. Stay tuned for that.
Huawei has officially unveiled the Yolanda Smart Body Fat Scale crammed with several sensors to check fitness parameters. The smart scale comes with the ability to monitor the heart rate and also smartly analyzes up to 17 body data including resting heart rate. The resting heart rate is detected through the bio-impedance analysis method. Resting heart rate is an important indicator of poor health. The higher the resting heart rate, the lower the healthy state and the shorter the life expectancy. Understanding the relationship between heart rate and fat rate can make the diet and exercise plan more reasonable.
The body fat scale also comes with WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity. It takes just 3-5 seconds to connect the device to WiFi. This means you won’t need a smartphone or Bluetooth connection to upload the data to the cloud storage. The data is automatically uploaded to the cloud to prevent data loss. The scale also supports multi-person measurement which can be set up in just one step via a mobile phone. The number of users that can be added is not limited. Also, when any of the registered users need to use the weighing scale, there is no need to open the phone as the scale automatically recognizes who you are.
In terms of design, the Yolanda Smart Body Fat Scale utilises a hidden HD LED screen and is powered by four 7-cell batteries. The scale can detect weights between 0.2Kg and 180Kg and can sense subtle changes in weight of 50g. It comes with a 99 yuan ($13) price tag. There is no word yet on when it will go on sale.
The Mi MIX series is one of the most anticipated devices of the second half of the year. This year’s model is expected to launch as the Mi MIX 4 and unconfirmed reports say it will be arriving this month, nearly two months earlier than the Mi MIX 3.
According to the Russian blog Xiaomishka, Chinese sources disclosed to them that the Mi MIX 4 will be announced on Tuesday, September 24, in Shanghai. The report says the phone is actually supposed to be announced earlier but the date was pushed forward due to several reasons including the launch of Huawei’s Mate 30 series on September 19.
The Mi MIX 4 is not the only product Xiaomi will unveil on that day. It has also been reported that it will announce MIUI 11, the Mi 9 5G/Mi 9S, and other unnamed products.
The Mi MIX 4 will be the first smartphone to feature Samsung’s 108MP ISOCELL Bright HMX sensor. It will be paired with a 16MP ultrawide angle lens and a 12MP periscope lens for a triple rear camera setup said the source.
Other rumored features of the phone include reverse wireless charging, up to 12GB of RAM, and a 5G version. It will also have a Snapdragon 855 Plus processor, a 4500mAh battery, UFS 3.0 storage, and run MIUI 11 based on Android 10 out of the box.
The Mi MIX 4 is already under review as one user on Weibo was spotted to have made a post with the device.
The design of the Mi MIX 4 is still unknown and even its name, since a court ruling says Xiaomi can’t use the MIX name as a different company already trademarked it years before.
Xiaomi has crowdfunded the ULEEMARK men’s multi-functional super-storage travel jacket which comes with a cheap 399 yuan ($55) price tag. The product details project a description of the jacket as a travel backpack that is worn on the body. That is definitely because of the numerous storage compartments crammed into the jacket. It has a total of 12 storage pockets. The jacket equally comes with 4 inflatable U-shaped pillows and an eye mask to provide users with a comfortable outdoor wear experience.
The ULEEMARK men’s multi-functional super-storage travel jacket has compartments for storing different devices such as eyeglasses, earphone holder, mobile phone bag, integrated large storage pocket, cardholders, mobile power bank bag and pockets. Some of the compartments are hidden from the visible eyes. There is even a compartment large enough to hold a tablet.
The jacket is made of foil fabric, which can still be worn even if the weather changes suddenly. The back is made of heat-reflecting lining, which automatically adjusts the internal heat to keep the body warm. The inflatable U-shaped pillow and the hidden three-dimensional eye mask makes it easy to sleep while on the road. In order to ensure the safety of the wearer at night, the clothes are also equipped with reflective decorative strips to increase the visibility at night.

Samsung is currently working on upgrading its range of smartphones in the budget segment, by introducing several new ‘S’ variants of popular devices in the Galaxy A and M lineup in the second half of the year. The latest entrant is the Galaxy A20s, which popped-up recently during TENAA certification. The model number of the upcoming A20s is SM-A2070, and the device is very similar to the Galaxy M30 in terms of external aesthetics. Also, 91mobiles has shared the specs sheet of the phone to reveal the key specs of the phone.
Samsung Galaxy A20s Specifications (Rumored)
The Galaxy A20s leak by the publication has revealed that it features a 6.49-inch Infinity V-display with a waterdrop notch housing the front camera. It is powered by the same 14nm 1.6GHz octa-core Samsung Exynos 7884 SoC found on the Galaxy A20. The smartphone gets 4GB of RAM and 64GB of native storage, which is expandable up to 512GB with a microSD card. The leak has no details on the camera specifications at the moment, but images from the TENAA listing show that it is equipped with a vertically-mounted triple camera layout with an LED flash.
The Galaxy A20s draws power from a 3,000mAh battery, which is a bit of a letdown considering the A20 had a 4,000 mAh battery. There is no word on fast charging capabilities yet. The Galaxy A20s runs on Android 9.0 Pie out-of-the-box. Connectivity options include dual-SIM 4G LTE, Bluetooth V4.2, USB charging port and a 3.5mm AUX port. The smartphone sports a dedicated rear panel-mounted fingerprint scanner.
The leak further reveals that the smartphone has an accelerometer, light sensor and proximity sensor. The volume and power controls are on the left side of the device. According to the TENAA listing, the Galaxy A20s measures 163.31 x 77.52 x 7.99 mm. The handset may come in two color options, namely black and blue. There is no information on when Samsung plans to launch the device globally. But the device recently passed the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi certification, meaning that the launch date is right around the corner.
