Realme announces smartphone with quad camera, 64MP sensor

At Realme‘s launch event earlier today, the company announced a new upcoming device with four cameras on the rear. This device will go directly head-to-head with Xiaomi’s upcoming Redmi device with a 64MP rear camera. This one’s also different from the Realme device with a 48MP camera we had heard about from before, which means there’s a whole new slew of possible specs here.

The biggest selling point of this new device is still going to be the camera setup it has going on. One of these sensors is the currently hot 64MP ISOCELL GW1 sensor by Samsung, while the other three cameras consist of a super wide angle camera, macro as well a depth sensor. No info regarding the front camera, but that’s not really all that important.

Realme India CEO Madhav Sheth confirmed that the company would be launching three smartphone cameras before Diwali this year. These three new smartphones would be launched under the Realme, Realme Pro and Realme X series. Sheth also took a dig at Xiaomi and said that Realme is offering the world’s first hands-on experience rather than showing a slide presentation.

Of course, this hands-on experience comes with one big caveat, that being that it came under heavy wraps to basically disguise the device’s design and look. Despite that, we still get a fairly good look at the device’s camera capabilities as well as the phone’s model, that being RMX1921. This is interesting, as it could indicate that this is a new version of the Realme X.

Officially however, Realme has yet to announce anything else about the new device. We’re not sure if we’ll see this new device launch at Realme’s upcoming August 20th event, though it’s highly likely it will. There are three devices set for launch on that day, and it’s highly likely at least one of those will be this brand new device.

Whatever Realme has in store for us, we’re really eager to see it. The company has a stellar reputation of making some excellent mid-range devices, and so far they’ve yet to disappoint. It’s also great to see some true competition going on in the mid-range market, considering how it’s been getting somewhat stale in the past few years.

Vivo iQOO Pro 5G could be cheapest 5G flagship phone

A Chinese tipster has shared a screenshot of Shenzhen Telecom’s WeChat public account which reveals some of the keys of the Vivo iQOO Pro 5G smartphone that is scheduled to go official on Aug. 22. The image reveals that the iQOO Pro 5G will be debuting as the cheapest 5G smartphone. iQOO Vice President Feng Yufei reposted the tipster’s Weibo post and claimed who is leaking the information. It suggests that the contents revealed by Shenzhen Telecom are true.

The screenshot reveals that the iQOO Pro 5G will be the cheapest 5G phone and it will come with support for 5G + 4G dual-SIM dual standby slots. It reveals that the phone is packed with flagship specifications. It features a large-sized battery and is powered by Snapdragon 855+ chipset along with X50 5G modem. The SoC is coupled with 8 GB of RAM and it has a native storage of 128 GB. Yufei has said that the image of the phone shown in the screenshot does not belong to the iQOO Pro 5G.

The specifications of the iQOO Pro 5G are no secret since it has already surfaced through its TENAA listing. It appears that 8 GB RAM + 128 GB storage could be the base model of the device.

iQOO Pro 5G Price and Specifications (Rumored)

The Snapdragon 855 SoC powered ZTE Axon 10 Pro 5G is the only 5G smartphone that is currently available for purchase in China. Its base model that includes 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage is priced at 4,999 Yuan (~$710). The 12 GB RAM + 256 GB storage edition of the Axon 10 Pro 5G is priced at 5,799 Yuan (~$824). The Huawei Mate 20 X 5G that features 7.12-inch display, Kirin 980 chipset, 5000mAh battery, 8 GB RAM and 256 GB storage is priced at 6,199 Yuan (~$880) and it will be go on sale in China from tomorrow.

A recent leak had claimed that the 8 GB + 128 GB iQOO Pro 5G could be coming with 4,498 Yuan (~$639). It is costlier than the highest configuration version of the iQOO smartphone that features 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage which is priced at 3,998 Yuan (~$568). There is no confirmation whether the iQOO Pro 5G’s 4,998 Yuan (~$639), but its certainly cheaper than the Axon 10 Pro 5G which is fueled by SD855.

iQOO Pro 5g real

The iQOO Pro 5G TENAA listing has revealed that it will be featuring a 6.41-inch AMOLED display with waterdrop notch. Its RAM variants are 8 GB and 12 GB, and it will come with up to 512 GB UFS 3.0 storage. It lacks a microSD card, and it comes loaded with FunTouch OS 9 based Android 9 Pie OS.

Huawei Mate X Release reportedly delayed to the end of 2019

Samsung Galaxy Fold’s recall is a very good example of why making foldables is not an easy task. Huawei was expected to beat Samsung to become the first top-tier company to release a commercial foldable smartphone in the market. However, according to a new report, that likely won’t happen as the Huawei Mate X foldable launch is said to be delayed till November 2019.

huawei MAte x outfold

Huawei Mate X has been one of the favorite foldables in the market especially because of its out-fold design. However, TechRadar learned at a Huawei press event in Shenzhen today that the company won’t be able to honor the earlier mentioned September release date. In fact, it is very unlikely that we would see the phone launch before November this year. The exact reason for the delay is not mentioned but it could be anything from production complications, additional testing, or even supplier issues due to the ongoing trade war.

However, the report states that the company is confident that the Mate X will be announced before the end of 2019. This time frame could be to ensure that the phone is available to purchase for the holiday season before the Chinese New Year, which kicks off early next year.

The report also adds that the company is planning an even better design for the next generation Mate X model. The new generation Mate X could launch as early as next year and could swap out the rear steel back for a glass-covered touch-enabled display. That would mean that the next generation Mate X could feature an all-display design with only a few bits of non-display elements.

MAte X was earlier spotted in the hands of Huawei exec Richard Yu

However, it remains to be seen how the company plans to implement a glass design on a foldable smartphone. If you recall, the front display of the existing Mate X still features a plastic covering, mainly because plastic is flexible. So in order for the company to use a glass back with a display, it would have to make the glass foldable and it won’t be easy to make it mass production-friendly.

Another question is the durability of a glass-covered back instead of the current steel back. Techradar’s report mentioned that the company’s attempt to replace the current generation Mate X’s steel back with a lighter aluminum body failed as it wasn’t strong enough. So, it remains to be seen how Huawei plans to make a glass-covered design possible on the next-generation version.

The final version of the Mate X is said to come with a slimmer power button and an improved ‘Falcon-hinge’. Unfortunately, if you want to be an early adopter you will have to go for the Galaxy Fold because it will be available a couple of months before the Mate X.

Amazon leads the Smart Speakers market in Q2 2019: Strategy Analytics

Market research file Strategy Analytics has published a new report related to the global sales of smart speakers. It shows that the market keeps on growing and the sales of smart speakers reached 30.3 million units in Q2 2019.

Amazon continues dominating the market with 21.9 percent market share even though the company’s market share reduced from 29.1 percent in Q2 2018. The second and third position has been grabbed by Google and Baidu, followed by Alibaba and Xiaomi.

Global Smart Speaker Market Share

Even though Apple’s market share for the smart speakers increased 81 percent compared to the previous year, it has not yet captured significant market share and thus, it remains in the sixth place with 1.4 million units shipped.

Amazon managed to ship 6.6 million units while Google shipped 5.6 million units. On the other hand, China-based companies Baidu, Alibaba, and Xiaomi managed to ship 4.7 million, 4.3 million, and 3.4 million units respectively.

David Mercer, Vice President at Strategy Analytics said that the demand for smart speakers have shown a little sign of plateauing, even in more mature markets like the US where ownership has now reached 30% of households.

However, he adds that there’s a huge potential in untapped regions where local language support has been limited. He believes that the arrival of language localized devices in large markets like Russia, Mexico and Brazil will support further demand growth in the coming months and years.

Huawei’s super fast 30W Wireless Charger has just passed FCC

Yesterday we reported that Huawei Mate 30 series was likely going to feature support for ultra-fast 25W wireless charging. Today, Huawei’s new wireless charger (CP61) capable of delivering such high-speed charging has just been spotted on FCC. The certification website confirms that the upcoming Huawei wireless charger can support charging output up to 30W.

While 30W is even higher than what we reported yesterday, it looks like the actual charging speed could be less than the max speed mentioned in the document. The FCC listing reveals that the charger’s claimed 30W charging output has not complied to its tests. So, it is possible that the actual wireless charging speed is somewhere around 25W, which is what a Chinese blogger revealed yesterday.

OnePlus to debut new 5G phone by 2019 end; Could it be OnePlus 7T Pro 5G?

The OnePlus 7 Pro 5G that was announced earlier this year is the first 5G phone from the company. It is currently only available for purchase in the U.K. According to a new report from Financial Times, OnePlus CEO Pete Lau has confirmed that the company will be launching a second 5G smartphone by the end of this year. The report also states that it will be available globally. Lau did not reveal the name of the smartphone.

It seems that the new 5G phone that will be debuting by the end of 2019 won’t be the same as OnePlus 5G that is currently available in the U.K. OnePlus is expected to release the OnePlus 7T Pro and OnePlus 7T by the end of this year. Probably, the Pro model could be equipped with the second 5G phone from OnePlus this year. There is a possibility that the OnePlus 7T will only support 4G LTE connectivity, whereas the OnePlus 7T Pro will be 5G-ready. There is a possibility that these phones could be fueled by the Snapdragon 855+ mobile platform.

Vivo NEX 3 sketch reveals front and rear design

The Vivo NEX 3 is the upcoming flagship phone from Vivo. Vivo’s Product Manager Li Xiang had yesterday shared an image of the frontal panel of the Vivo NEX 3 smartphone yesterday. It revealed that the display will be curved towards the left and right edges. Today, Li Xiang has released a sketch of the Vivo NEX 3 to showcase its front and rear design.

As it can be seen in the image, the dual-edge display of the Vivo NEX 3 is extremely on the edges. The sketch reveals that the bending portion of the screen appears like a waterfall. Hence, this display design is being dubbed as ‘waterfall display.’ The side bezels seem to be almost non-existent.

The sketch also shows that the top and bottom bezels of the phone are also extremely thin. This indicates that the Vivo NEX 3 will deliver close to 100 percent screen-to-body ratio. The bottom edge of the phone is not visible in the sketch. The upper edge of the phone seems to be equipped with a 3.5mm audio jack, a speaker and a microphone. The left and right sides of the phone appear to be barren. Probably, the phone could be lacking physical buttons.

Vivo NEX 3 sketch

Since the top bezel of the phone very thin and even the body of the phone appears to be quite slim, it may not feature a pop-up selfie snapper. Rather the company may use the new in-display selfie camera technology. Even when the phone is placed upside down, its side displays are clearly visible.

The only thing that is present on the backside of the smartphone is the triple camera setup that is placed inside a circular housing. The design of the camera housing is inspired from mechanical watches.

The specifications of the Vivo NEX 3 are currently under the wraps. However, it is very likely to feature Snapdragon 855+ chipset. Also, it is believed that the Vivo V1924A smartphone that was recently approved by 3C authority could be the NEX smartphone. The 3C certification revealed that it carries support for 5G connectivity, and it could be arriving with a 44W rapid charger. The Vivo V9122A could be the 4G LTE version of the smartphone. There is no information available on the launch date of the Vivo NEX 3. Also, the name of the device is not officially confirmed yet.
