Top 10 Inexpensive Phone Cases for the Galaxy Note10

-

Aug 10, 2019

Xiaomi‘s latest pure Android-running smartphone, the Mi A3 has been launched in Asia and some countries in Europe. India isn’t among the Asian countries where the Mi A3 has been launched. There are rumours already on the streets already that Xiaomi’slatest Android One telephone will be hitting India on August 23.

The rumour didn’t include a price tag of the device. However, the device is expected to have a cheaper price than what it currently sells for (€250) in Europe. So the device may be priced around Rs 17,500. We’ll have to wait until the launch to find out.

The Mi A3 seems to beXiaoi’s way of telling us not to desire pure Android -running phones. The device was announced with a disappointing HD display, whereas the Mi A1 and A2 both feature Full HD (1080p) screens. Apart from that, though, the Mi A3 seems to be an amazing phone. It is fired up by a Snapdragon 665 processor and packs a large 4030mAh battery. The triple cameras remain the same as the Mi CC9e which includes a 48MP primary sensor, an 8MP wide-angle sensor, and a 2MP depth sensor. At the front, there is a 32MP selfie sensor. The phone comes in two memory versions – 4GB+64GB and 4GB+128GB.

Nubia Z20 vs Lenovo Z6 Pro vs Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro: Specs Comparison

Aug 9, 2019

There are a lot of very affordable flagship phones with top-tier specifications in China, but a lot of them often do not hit the global market. Well, that is not the case with three amazing flagships recently unveiled in China. A lot of people were left as surprised as happy after hearing that Lenovo Z6 Pro, Nubia Z20 and Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro (which is known in China as the Redmi K20 Pro) would hit the global market. All of them come with flagship-class specifications but they carry an upper-midrange price. That is why they are three of the most interesting choices for advanced users with a limited budget. And that is also why we think this is one of the most interesting comparisons we published this year. Have fun 🙂

Nubia Z20 vs Lenovo Z6 Pro vs Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro

	Nubia Z20	Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro	Lenovo Z6 Pro
DIMENSIONS AND WEIGHT	158.6 x 75.2 x 9.2 mm, 186 g	156.7 x 74.3 x 8.8 mm, 191 g	157.5 x 74.6 x 8.7 mm, 185 g

ADDITIONAL FEATURES	Dual SIM slot	Dual SIM slot	Hybrid Dual SIM slot

Design

Just like its predecessor Nubia X, the new Nubia Z20 left everyone amazed especially because of its dual display. Most of the surface of the phone is covered by displays, and that is the main reason why it is my favorite one in terms of design. Another reason is the presence of a high screen-to-body ratio without the need of a notch, unlike the Lenovo Z6 Pro which comes with a waterdrop display. So, the second place goes to the Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro: another notch-less device which boasts a motorized pop-up camera under the display, as well as a premium rear glass and an aluminum frame.

Display

Just because it has two displays, Nubia Z20 deserves a gold medal in this comparison. But that is not all: the primary display even boasts amazing colors thanks to the AMOLED and HDR10 technologies. The secondary display is placed on the back and it is a 5.1-inch AMOLED panel which allows a more efficient battery saving as well as using the rear camera department as front cameras. Further, the rear display is easier to use with one hand and for simpler tasks. While Nubia Z20 is the most versatile one, Lenovo Z6 Pro seems to have an even better color reproduction, at least on the paper.

Hardware/Software

Judging by the specs on the paper, Nubia Z20 is the most powerful handset of the trio. It is the world’s third smartphone (and the world’s first non-gaming phone) to be powered by the new Snapdragon 855+ which delivers 15 percent more graphics performance and a higher clock frequency (2.96 GHz vs 2.84 GHz) compared to the Snapdragon 855 found on the Xiaomi Mi 9T and Lenovo Z6 Pro. On the other hand, Lenovo Z6 Pro offers a higher-end memory configuration with up to 12 GB of RAM, while Nubia Z20 stops at 8 GB of RAM. Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro loses the comparison with just 6 GB of RAM, but it has a very functional user interface (MIUI).

Camera

If we talk about rear cameras, Nubia Z20 seems the most interesting (on the paper). It is the only to feature optical stabilization for the main sensor, it has a brighter focal aperture and even 3x optical zoom. Last but not least, its rear cameras can be used as front cameras thanks to the secondary display placed on the back (the phone does not have a selfie snapper).

Battery

Same battery capacity for each of these handsets: 4000 mAh. But thanks to the smaller secondary display and a more optimized chipset, we believe that Nubia Z20 may last more on a single charge.

Price

Nubia Z20, Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro and Lenovo Z6 Pro carry price tags of €450/$505, €430/$480 and €400/$450 respectively, in the Chinese market. We still do not know for sure how much they will cost globally. Overall, at least judging by the specs on the paper, Nubia Z20 deserves the victory of this comparison due to its better chipset, amazing cameras, and dual display.

Xiaomi Mi 9 5G certified by TENAA with a bigger 4000mAh battery

By

-

Aug 9, 2019

Xiaomi‘s first 5G phone was the Mi Mix 3 5G which was launched not to long ago. The company may soon launch its second 5G phone. Not too long ago, the device got its 3C certification, appearing with the model number M1908F1XE. A Xiaomi model with the same model number hasnow been certified by TENAA.

The device is believed to be the 5G version of the Mi 9 and is listed to feature a thicker 8.95mm build. The original Mi 9 comes in at 7.6mm thick. The slight bump in thickness is likely due to the bigger battery which is crammed into the device.It comes with a slightly bigger 4000mAh battery, up from 3300mAh. The 5G Mi 9 also supports 45W fast charging (up from 27W).

The TENAA listing also shows that the Mi 9 5G retains the 6.39-inch display size of the original version but there are rumours that resolution will be increased from the 1440 pixels. Further, the 5G smartphone is expected to come with a Snapdragon 855+. The company will also add OIS to the main camera on the back. The device will also come with dual SIM card slot and dual standby. However, we expect the 5G connectivity to be on one SIM only.

There are speculations that the Mi 9 5G will be called “Xiaomi Mi 9S” based on a post by China Unicom. The phone is expected to be released in September.

10 Things You Should Know About Huawei’s HarmonyOS

By

Joel Joseph

Aug 9, 2019

Huawei unveiled the Harmony OS with much fanfare at the Huawei Developer Conference (2019) earlier today. The OS is primarily targeted at IoT products and is the company’s back up plan if it no longer can use Android on its smartphones. Huawei was careful NOT to directly market it as a replacement to Android but it did stress that it would use Harmony OS as its last resort for its smartphones.

Building a new OS from scratch is never easy and time and again we’ve seen examples of companies failing to gain traction from developers for a brand new OS. However, Huawei wants to take things slow and steady, starting with IoT products like the new Huawei Smart Screen that’s going to be unveiled tomorrow.

There’s a lot of stuff that was revealed about the OS at the event today, so we decided to compile 10 things you should know about Harmony OS so that you are updated about its most important features.

11. Harmony OS development began back in 2017

Huawei started working on the HarmonyOS as early as 2017. The company decided to speed things up in 2019 to power its smart screen products this year. The v1.0 will initially target smart display products, such as the Huawei Smart Screen to be unveiled tomorrow. In 2020, microkernel v2.0 will be released and subsequently, in 2021, the v3.0 will be available with added support for wearables.

The HarmonyOS v1.0 will still feature a Linux kernel alongside its own microkernel, but future versions, starting v2.0 will be completely based on its microkernel.

22. Huawei’s HarmonyOS is based on a light Microkernel unlike Android

Huawei’s HarmonyOS is microkernel-based, much like Google’s Fuchsia OS. This makes it more of a direct competitor to Fuchsia than Android. This design ensures that the new OS can be used on multiple types of devices at once. So, it’s meant to be a multi-device solution rather than a smartphone focused OS.

Unlike Linux kernels which have a relatively large amount of code in a shared address space, microkernels have a smaller amount of shared code and enable faster communication between its components.

33. HarmonyOS will not allow root access

Huawei confirms you won’t get root access on the Harmony OS. This has been done to avoid any future security concerns, which the company says is a security risk on Android and other Linux-based OSes.

44. HarmonyOS is primarily for IoT products

Huawei is targeting IoT products such as wearables, smart screen products, smart speakers, in-car entertainment units and other smart products for its new HarmonyOS. Smartphones are not really the priority but the company stresses that it is capable of replacing Android on its mobile devices.

55. Huawei smartphones can shift to HarmonyOS in just a couple of days

Huawei revealed that if the need arises, it can quickly shift to HarmonyOS on its smartphones. It will just take 1-2 days for the company to replace Android on its phones. That’s impressive yet scary at the same time!

66. Android Apps are not compatible out of the box

Huawei’s HarmonyOS won’t support Android apps out of the box. The company notes that ‘small changes’ need to be made to existing apps to ensure that it can run on its new OS. But it is possible to port Android, HTML5, and Linux apps over to HarmonyOS using Huawei’s ARK compiler, which is open source.

77. Huawei is building its own app store

Huawei is already busy building a replacement for the Google Play store. The company’s inhouse app store is called as Huawei AppGallery and it is already asking developers to publish their Android apps over on its own apps store as well. The company has even unveiled Huawei Mobile Services as an alternative to Google Play services.

88. Huawei’s Mate 30 series could use HarmonyOS

While Huawei stressed that HarmonyOS isn’t really targeted for smartphones, it could be forced to install the new OS on the upcoming Mate 30 series. The company has confirmed that the Mate 30 series models haven’t received Google Play certification yet. If the Huawei ban continues, the Chinese telecommunications giant could be forced to use HarmonyOS on the new models. There are already rumors that the Mate 30 Lite will be the first HarmonyOS running smartphone. Let’s wait and watch.

99. HarmonyOS will go Open Source sometime next year

Huawei is planning to make HarmonyOS completely open-source sometime next year. This could bring in companies like OPPO, Vivo, and Xiaomi to collaborate and develop the new operating system. US ban is currently a primary threat to Huawei, but it can extend to other Chinese companies as well. I’m sure they would want an alternative like HarmonyOS in case things go south.

1010. HarmonyOS will build its roots in China first

Huawei’s Mate 30 Lite could feature HarmonyOS!

Huawei will lay the foundations of the HarmonyOS in the Chinese market, later expanding it to international markets. So, the first set of HarmonyOS products will be unveiled in China, starting with the Honor Vision Smart screen.

So, that’s everything you should know about the new HarmonyOS.

Let’s know if you think it can eventually replace or at least compete directly with Android for smartphones.

Samsung says the Galaxy Home smart speaker is still being enhanced – Not a vaporware afterall

By

Aug 9, 2019

Samsung was expected to finally release the Galaxy Home smart speakers at the Unpacked event held a few days back but that didn’t happen. The smart speaker was announced one year ago but is still elusive. Just when the Galaxy Home was being designated as vaporware, the company has come out to clarify that the smart speaker is still coming.

The company says the device isn’t dead and it is still being refined. Samsung looks forward to “sharing more with Galaxy fans soon”. In the meantime, it’s going to keep enhancing the speaker without expatiating on what that means. The company wasn’t forthcoming with a release schedule for the smart speaker. Since the release is still unannounced, we think Samsung is still expanding the smart functionalities of the TV to make it distinct from the smart speakers we have around. We’ll have to wait and see how this plays out.

EDITOR’S PICK: Samsung Galaxy Book S with Snapdragon 8cx and Windows 10 Announced

The Galaxy Home smart speaker comes with Bixby smart assistant. Samsung has said the Galaxy Home outputs 360-degree sound and is tuned by the company’s AKG division. The speaker can serve as a hub for smart home gadgets that connect to Samsung’s SmartThings platform.

HMD Global announces IFA Berlin attendance; expect new phones

Aug 9, 2019

IFA (Berlin ranks) alongside CES (Las Vegas) and MWC (Barcelona) as one of the major tech shows of the year. Just like other tech shows, it is a convergence of manufacturers, investors, tech journalists, and consumers.

Some manufacturers also usually announce new products at the event. HMD Global has confirmed it will be attending and we expect it will announce a couple of new Nokia phones.

The announcement was made on Twitter by Juho Sarvikas, the Chief Product Officer of HMD Global. This will be the first time the manufacturer will be attending the trade show.

The attached image says there will be an event on September 5 at 4:00 PM. IFA actually begins on September 6 and will run through till September 11.

There are a bunch of phones we expect HMD Global will unveil. There is the Nokia 8.2 which is rumored to have a 32MP pop-up selfie camera and run Android Q out of the box. There is also the Nokia 6.2 and Nokia 7.2 smartphones.

The Nokia 7.2 is said to have a display with a waterdrop notch. It is also shown to have triple rear cameras arranged in a circular housing similar to that used by the Moto Z series. There will be a fingerprint scanner below the rear cameras and reports say a Snapdragon 660 processor and a 3500mAh battery will be under the hood.

A leak from last month revealed the Nokia 6.2 will also have an FHD+ display, triple rear cameras, a Snapdragon 660 processor and a 3300mAh battery.

Both the Nokia 6.2 and Nokia 7.2 are expected to launch in China this month, so the IFA announcement should be the global unveiling.

All Nokia phones announced at IFA should be part of the Android One program and run stock Android out of the box.

We also expect HMD Global to announce one or two feature phones too.
