Image of Redmi TV shared by the company showcases its design

Redmi, which was a brand of Xiaomi for budget smartphones, split from its parent company earlier this year to work independently. Initially, the company focused on smartphones but it has now entered new product categories.

After launching the Redmi branded laptop and a washing machine, the company is now all set to enter the Smart TV market. The company has confirmed that the Redmi TV with the 70-inch display panel will launch in China on 26th August.

Now, ahead of the launch of this new Redmi TV, the company has shared an image of the upcoming product, giving us a clear look at its design. The design of the Redmi TV is quite simple with thin bezels surrounding the display.

There’s a little rectangle box below the “Redmi” branding, which could be housing the camera sensor. Yesterday, Lu Weibing, General Manager of Redmi had said that the Redmi TV will not only be smart but will also be big and the announcement will shock people. It remains to be seen what he is hinting at.

The first Redmi TV will have a massive 70-inch screen just as the model number on the 3C certificate hinted. This will put it behind Xiaomi’s own 75-inch Mi TV 4 and 75-inch Mi TV 4S smart TVs. There were rumors of a 40-inch model but we are not sure that will be launching on the same day.

The 75-inch Mi TV 4 is priced at ¥8999 (~$1277) while the 75-inch Mi TV 4S has a price tag of ¥5199 (~$738). We believe the Redmi TV will have a price tag closer to that of the Mi TV 4S.

This upcoming TV should have a 4K display and also come with Xiaomi’s PatchWall system. Other features we expect include DTS and Dolby Audio and a Bluetooth voice remote. To know more, including pricing and availability details, we’ll have for the official launch event.

Along with this new Smart TV product, the company is also expected to launch the next-gen Redmi Note series smartphones at the same event in China on 29th August, dubbed Redmi Note 8.

Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ vs iPhone Xs Max vs Samsung Galaxy S10 5G: Specs Comparison

If you are looking for a productivity phone with Android on board, you probably have no better choices than Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ or its 5G variant. It is not a case if it is one of the most expensive smartphones out there. But is it worth the money asked? Should you buy it with that high price tag ahead of its official launch on the global market? Well, one of the best ways to establish it is comparing with the other expensive phones in the market. iPhones are the symbol of elitist phones, that is why we decided to compare it with the iPhone Xs Max. And given its higher price compared to the most important Android competitors, we also chose the most expensive variant of the S line-up: the Galaxy S10 5G. Here is an in-depth specs comparison between the most amazing top-tier phones by Samsung and Apple.

Design

The iPhone Xs Max offers the best materials (stainless steel frame instead of aluminum), the most symmetric design and even the most compact size. On the other hand, Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ has a higher screen-to-body ratio, but it is a very big phablet due to its huge display. Samsung Galaxy S10 5G comes with an in-display camera and a higher screen-to-body ratio than iPhone Xs Max, as well as smaller dimensions than The Galaxy Note 10+. There is not a clear winner here, it is all up to the user’s tastes.

 

Display

If I had to choose the best display I would have no doubt: Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ wins. It has a wider panel, it supports the S Pen, it boasts the most awesome color reproduction and it even ships with a high Quad HD+ resolution and the new Dynamic AMOLED technology. The only real advantage of the iPhone Xs Max’s display is the 120 Hz refresh ratio which makes the user experience smoother and better for gamers. But that big notch is not the most desired thing on a phone, despite it contains the great Face ID sensors besides the selfie snapper.

 

Hardware/Software

Thanks to iOS 12 as the operating system, the iPhone Xs Max provides more reliable performances with higher stability and blazing speeds, despite its hardware department is inferior to both its rivals. The second place goes to the Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ as it is equipped with an upgraded chipset in its European version: the Exynos 9825 built at 7 nm, unlike the predecessor Exynos 9820 built at 8 nm. Further, it supports S Pen and it has more advanced software for productivity. There is also to consider that Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ is the only which features a micro SD to expand the internal storage (you can get up to 1 TB more). But the Samsung Galaxy S10 5G can provide a faster connection thanks to the support to 5G networks, if you have 5G coverage, obviously.

 

Camera

The quad camera found on the Galaxy Note 10+ is overall the best camera department you can find in this trio. It features Dual OIS for an amazing optical stabilization for both the main sensor and the telephoto lens. Further, it is able to record amazing 4K videos at 60 fps with HDR10+. While Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ wins when it comes to the rear cameras, the Galaxy S10 5G has the most efficient front cameras: a dual setup with a bright 10 MP lens and a TOF camera. iPhone Xs Max is still one of the best camera phones out there, but it is pretty disappointing compared with Samsung’s flagships.

 

Battery

We believe the Samsung Galaxy S10 5G will offer the longest battery life, at least when 5G connectivity is off. It has the biggest battery: a huge 4500 mAh unit, and it even supports reverse wireless charging. Right after, there is the Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ with its 4300 mAh battery and, since there is no 5G, we have no doubts about its efficiency.

 

Price

The starting price of the Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ is €1100/$1100, iPhone Xs Max costs €1250/$1100 and Samsung Galaxy S10 5G starts from €1160/$1099. At the end of the day, unless you need the 5G connectivity, we suggest you go for the Galaxy Note 10+ due to the support to S Pen, its bigger and better display, high performances, micro SD support, and more amazing cameras.

OnePlus 7T and OnePlus 7T Pro launch dates leaked

A number of manufacturers made big changes to their lineup this year. For example, Samsung not only released the Galaxy S10 and Galaxy S10+ but also announced a Galaxy S10e, which is a cheaper version of its siblings. OnePlus also decided to launch two flagships in the first half of the year – the OnePlus 7 and a more expensive and feature-packed OnePlus 7 Pro. It is now set to announce another duo for the second half of the year which should arrive as the OnePlus 7T and OnePlus 7T Pro. The release dates for the phones have been leaked.

The launch details, which were published by Max  J. (@Samsung_News_) on Twitter, reveal OnePlus will be making changes to its usual second-half launch schedule.

Alleged OnePlus 7T Pro

The OnePlus 7T and OnePlus 7T Pro will be launching first in India this year and they will be arriving much earlier. Rather than the end of October like last year, OnePlus will unveil the phones on September 26. The Indian launch date coincides with the same date the OnePlus TV is expected to be unveiled. If the above date is correct, then the OnePlus TV should also launch in India.

The phones will then launch simultaneously in the US and Europe on October 10. Sales will begin shortly after on October 15. There is no mention of the phones’ launch date in China.

OnePlus is also expected to launch another 5G smartphone this year. We do not know if it will launch alongside the OnePlus 7T and OnePlus 7T Pro or it will be a separate event.

The OnePlus 7T and OnePlus 7T Pro should come with improved cameras, the new Snapdragon 855+ processor and new software features. We also expect them to cost slightly more than their predecessors.

Alleged live photos of the Oneplus 7T Pro surfaced earlier this month but they didn’t reveal any changes in the design of the phone.

Google Assistant floors Siri and Alexa to emerge as the smart assistant with the highest IQ

When we talk about virtual voice assistants, the three names that come to mind immediately are Amazon Alexa, Apple’s Siri and Google Assistant. There are several others like Microsoft’s Cortana, Xiaomi’s XiaoAI but they are not so popular outside China. Globally, Google dominates the Android smartphone segment with its data-driven assistant, Amazon’s Alexa has carved out a niche of its own in the new smart speaker segment while Apple’s Siri is for the company’s products. In case you are curious, just as we are, to know which one has the highest IQ among the three, a research report has been released which gives Google Assistant the lead in the smart voice assistant segment.virtual voice assistant

The research emerged from the US where the capabilities of the virtual voice assistants were tested using smart speakers. Of course, the smart speaker market is dominated by Amazon Echo series and Google Home series with the ApplePod firmly rotted in the third spot.

he research was carried out by Loup Ventures and how it was done is that the company prepared 800 questions, tested them separately, and scored the voice assistants based on two indicators:

1. Can the voice assistant understand this problem?”

2. Can the voice assistant answer this question accurately?” In order to cover most of the conversations in life as much as possible, the 800 questions are divided into five parts, namely:

1. Location information – for example, “Where is the nearest coffee shop?”

2. Consumption information – for example, “Help me order some paper towels online?”

3. Navigation information – for example, “How do I get to the city by bus?”

4. Information – For example, “What time does the Rockets play tonight?”

5. Command information – for example, “Remind me that there is a meeting at 2 pm this afternoon”

The final test results chart shows that Google Assistant won almost all of the categories with over 90% accuracy rate. On the other hand, Siri came second while Alexa is third.

A similar test was carried out last year with the same ranking but this current one shows all three have got some form of improvement.

Vivo NEX 3 to come with support for 5G connectivity

Vivo’s Product Manager Li Xiang has been teasing about the company’s upcoming experimental smartphone — Vivo NEX 3. After confirming the “Waterfall Screen” on the NEX 3 and the 3.5mm headphone jack, he has now confirmed 5G support.

Li Xang has shared a partial screenshot of the upcoming Vivo NEX 3’s home screen which shows two 5G icons in the top-left and top-right corner. This confirms that the NEX 3 will come with dual 5G connectivity support.

Vivo NEX 3 Dual 5G Support

Earlier, the image shared by the company’s product manager confirmed the design of the upcoming NEX smartphone. In the “Waterfall Screen” design, the company will be using a display that is curved on the left and the right side.

This will allow the company to offer a bezel-less design and the company had previously touted about the 100 percent screen-to-body ratio, which could be hinting at this design. There’s also a possibility that the Chinese company will opt for an in-display camera sensor technology to ensure 100 percent screen-to-body ratio.

Recently, it was reported that Vivo has solved the “Window Effect” issue faced by the under-display camera sensor. So, it is possible that we could see this technology being used in Vivo NEX 3.

Currently, there’s nothing much known about this upcoming smartphone. As per the reports, the upcoming Vivo NEX series smartphone could get launched in China next month. Notably, there’s no confirmation about the launch date from the company so far but we expect to know more about this phone in the coming weeks.
