Even months after hitting the store shelves, the Xiaomi Mi 9 continues to garner huge popularity among the brand’s huge fanbase.

On the downside, the Mi 9 didn’t appeal to cost-conscious buyers due to the steep price tag it carries. To make the well-received handset available to those on a tight budget, Xiaomi is now offering multiple variants of the Mi 9 Global Version at lowered prices on Giztop.

The 6GB RAM+64GB ROM variant that normally retails for $499 on both, online as well as offline stores, you can now buy it for a lowered price of just $379 from Giztop. This model comes in two appealing color options including black and blue.

The slightly larger 6GB RAM+128GB ROM model, on the other hand, will usually set you back $544; however, it has now gone up for sale bearing a considerably reduced price tag of just $424.

An absolute steal at this price, the Mi 9 sports a mammoth 6.39-inch AMOLED screen, FHD+ display with 2340×1080 pixels resolution. Aside from offering an impressive screen-to-body ratio of 90.7 percent, the phone has 103.8 percent NTSC super wide color gamut and up to 600 nits of brightness for an unparalleled viewing experience.

Update: The official press release for the Nubia Z20 has revealed that the Nubia Z20 will launch in the US, Canada, Europe, and the UK in September.

Yesterday, the Nubia Z20 launched as the second dual-screen phone from Nubia. The Z20 brings a number of improvements over the brand’s first dual-screen phone, the Nubia X.

Both screens are now OLED panels on the Z20. The cameras have been upgraded and there is an additional sensor for a triple camera setup. It also features the new Snapdragon 855 Plus processor and packs a bigger battery with a faster charging (27W) technology.

With a starting price of under $500 in China, the Nubia Z20 is a phone worth considering. The good news is that the phone will not be China-exclusive as the Nubia Z20 will be getting a global release soon.

The info was shared on Twitter by Sudhanshu Ambhore. We tried checking Nubia’s social media channels for the original source but didn’t find it. However, seeing as the official Nubia India social media accounts shared details about the flagship before its release, we have a feeling India will be one of the markets getting the device.

The Nubia Z20 has a 6.42-inch curved FHD+ AMOLED primary display and a 5.1-inch secondary HD+ AMOLED display. It not only has two displays but two side-mounted fingerprint scanners. The Snapdragon 855+ processor is paired with 6GB/8GB of RAM and 12GB/512GB of storage.

It has a 48MP primary camera, a 16MP ultrawide angle camera, and an 8MP telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom, 30x digital zoom, and a 2.5cm super macro mode. There is a 4000mAh battery under the hood along with support for 27W fast charging and Power Delivery support. It doesn’t have an audio jack but comes with a type-c to 3.5mm cable. The phone runs Nubia UI 7.0 based on Android Pie out of the box.

The Nubia Z20 will go on sale on August 16 in China. The base model with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage is ¥3499 (~$496), there is also an 8GB RAM + 128GB version for ¥3699 (~$525) while the highest configuration with 8GB of RAM and 512GB of storage will sell for ¥4199 (~$595).

At the beginning of July, Chinese retailer site Taobao had carried a listing of the unannounced Meizu 16s Pro smartphone. The listing had carried an image of the smartphone which resembled with the design of the Meizu 16s phone. Its front is fitted with a notch-less display that is surrounded by slim bezels. The very thin bezel at the top features a front-facing camera.

The Meizu 16s has a Sony IMX586 48-megapixel primary lens and a 20-megapixel telephoto lens in its dual camera setup. Probably, the Meizu 16s Pro may feature the same camera sensors that are available on the 16s handset as well as an additional ultrawide flash. A ring-like LED flash is also present below the triple camera unit. The image also suggests that the phone could be equipped with an in-screen fingerprint scanner.

The Meizu 16s Pro could be a more powerful device than the Meizu 16s. Hence, it could be fueled by the Snapdragon 855+ chipset. Probably, the company may announce the smartphone by the end of this month. As of this writing, there is no official confirmation yet form Meizu on the existence of the handset.

Aug 9, 2019

Huawei Developer Conference 2019 is kicking off today, where the Chinese giant is expected to announce new products, including HongMeng OS, EMUI 10 and Honor Smart Screen among others.

After initial buzz about HongMeng OS being Huawei’s answer to Google’s Android operating system, the company’s executive claimed that HongMong OS was never meant to be an Android replacement and is for enterprise use.

However, it was recently reported that the company is working on to launch a new smartphone by the end of this year, which will be running HongMeng OS out-of-the-box. The report also claimed that the budget smartphone will be priced around 2,000 yuan.

Now, a new report has surfaced online which claims that the upcoming Huawei Mate 30 Lite will be the first smartphone to run the company’s in-house developed HongMeng OS. The report claims that while the international variant will be running Android Q and EMUI 10, the Chinese variant will be powered by HongMeng OS.

As per the leaks, the Mate 30 Lite will come with a 6.26-inch punch-hole display and is expected to feature quadruple-camera setup on the back which is housed within a square-shaped module. It will have 48 MP primary camera, an 8 MP secondary camera and two 2 MP camera sensors.

The previous report had claimed that the mid-range smartphone running HongMeng OS will be launched in order to attract software developers to join the company’s new ecosystem. It also added that the system has cryptographic functions that protect personal data and prevents users’ privacy from being breached.

As per the reports, the HongMeng OS is based on open-source Android and is fully compatible with Android applications. Also, during the test run, the operating system turned out to be 60 percent faster than Android.

Today, China-based drone maker DJI has revealed that it will be launching a new product on 13th August at an event named “Transform Your World”, but the company has not clarified which product it is. However, many believe that DJI is gearing up to launch Osmo Mobile 3 at this event.

Earlier, the grip handle, as well as the whole product, i.e. the upcoming Osmo Mobile 3, was leaked online. Reports indicate that the device will come with support for Bluetooth 5.0 Low Energy (LE) as well as USB Type-C port. But apart from that nothing much is known about this upcoming product. It’s still unclear what new functionality we can expect from the DJI Osmo Mobile 3.

The DJI Osmo Mobile 2 stabilizer packs a 2,600mAh battery (18650 LiPo) that is claimed to provide 15 hours of usage on a single charge. This was a significant upgrade to the original which used replaceable 1,225mAh batteries that lasted about 4.5 hours.

Compared to the original model, the second-generation model was also lighter at 485 grams, thanks to the switch to “high-performance nylon” from the nylon and magnesium alloy of the original.

It comes with a wide range of features, including from timelapse, to motion lapse, hyper-lapse, slow-mo (still only iOS), and also active tracking and live broadcasting. The company had also introduced a zoom slider to the left of the stabilizer to make zooming easy.

The DJI Osmo Mobile 2 was launched for $129.95, which is less than half the price of its predecessor. Thus, it’s hard to imagine if DJI slashes down the pricing of the upcoming Osmo Mobile 3 even further.

Snapdragon 865 Geekbench listing seems to have appeared

Aug 9, 2019

In December, Qualcomm had launched the Snapdragon 855 mobile platform as the first 7nm chipset for mobile devices. The 2.84GHz SD855’s enhanced version dubbed as Snapdragon 855+ with 2.96GHz clocking speed was announced in the previous month. It is speculated that the Snapdragon 865 will be announced by the end of the year. It appears that the SD865 is being tested since a couple of listing of a testing device powered the same processor has appeared on Geekbench.

On Geekbench, a testing device labelled as ‘Qualcomm Kona’ has appeared. Its single-core and multi-core benchmarking scores are better than that of Snapdragon 855. The SD855 usually scores around 3.5k in the single-core test of Geekbench. In its multi-core test, the SD855 has scored around 11k. The codename of the chipset is ‘msmnile.’ Interestingly, the Qualcomm Kona device is also powered by ‘msmnile’ processor, but its benchmarking scores are better than SD855.

In the single-core test, the testing device has recorded a benchmarking score of 4149. The multi-core score of the device is 12915. The device is running on Android 10 OS which is nothing but the upcoming Android Q OS. The SoC of the device is coupled with 6 GB of RAM. In the Geekbench listings of SD855 powered phones, the base frequency is usually mentioned as 1.78GHz. However, the multiple listings of Qualcomm Kona show that its processor has a different base frequency of 1.8GHz.

Hence, it appears that the device shown in the newly spotted Geekbench listings could be powered by the upcoming Snapdragon 865 SoC. Popular tipster Roland Quandt had revealed in June that Qualcomm may announce two editions of the chipset. One will come packed with 4G LTE modem and the other one will be integrated with a 5G modem. Previous leaks have revealed that Huracan and Kona are the names of the two variants of the Snapdragon 865. As it can be seen, the newly spotted Geekbench listing has ‘Kona’ moniker in its name.

The Snapdragon 865 is expected to carry support for LPDDR5X RAM, UFS 3.0 storage and HDR10+ standard. It could be the second-generation 7nm chipset from Qualcomm after the Snapdragon 855. Samsung has reportedly bagged the orders for manufacturing the SD865 SoC. The US based chipset maker may hold an unveil event in December this year to unleash the Snapdragon 865 SoC.

Purported OnePlus 7T Pro live shots leak front and rear design

Aug 9, 2019

Earlier this week, live shots of the purported OnePlus 7T Pro handset had appeared on Weibo. The exact design of the phone was not visible in those photos since the handset was placed inside a case. Fresh set of photos of the rumored OnePlus 7T Pro have surfaced again. Again, the device has appeared in a protective case to hide its design. However, one of the images showcases the rear appeal of the phone.

The front images of the alleged OnePlus 7T Pro smartphone reveals that it features a notch-less display. The edges of the phone are curved, and its bottom bezels appears very thin. The speaker placed on the slim-sized top bezel of the phone appears more prominent than the OnePlus 7 Pro handset. The notch-less design suggests that the smartphone will be equipped with a pop-up selfie snapper.

The blue colored rear shell of the purported OnePlus 7T Pro is visible through the gaps on the protective case. There is a vertical triple camera unit in the upper half of the rear shell. The first two camera sensors are placed together and there is a small gap between the second and third sensor. An LED flash can be also below the triple camera unit. There is no rear-mounted fingerprint scanner since it seems to be under the display of the phone. The rear design of the alleged OnePlus 7T Pro is identical to the two months old OnePlus 7 Pro smartphone.

There is no concrete evidence to confirm that the above shown handset is indeed the OnePlus 7T Pro smartphone. The phone seen in the leaked photos is almost identical to the Nebula green version of the OnePlus 7 Pro smartphone. The only major difference in design between the two smartphones is that that the alleged OnePlus 7T Pro features a wider speaker.

The ‘T’ edition phones from OnePlus usually carries improved specs. However, their design remains identical to the original model. Hence, there is a possibility that the OnePlus 7T Pro may look like the OnePlus 7 Pro smartphone, but it may carry enhanced specs. Rumors have it that the OnePlus 7T Pro could be fueled by the new 2.96GHz Snapdragon 855+ and it may feature improved cameras. There is a possibility that it may come in new color options.

There is no official confirmation on the existence of the OnePlus 7T Pro. However, based on the release patterns of the company, the OnePlus 7T Pro is expected to go official in November. Probably, the company may release a 5G edition of the smartphone.

Alldocube iPlay10 Pro Review: A Great Entertainment Tablet

Aug 9, 2019

With the development of smartphone size, most of users have no more need of tablets. But for me, tablet is an important device. Alldocube is well-known for its affordable tablets in the market, and I got the Alldocube iPlay10 Pro Tablet several days ago. Let’s check it out.

Design:

In terms of the appearance design, the ALLDOCUBE iPlay10 Pro is good but not surprising enough. Look at its front side. The edge of the tablet is wider than Xiaomi Mi Pad 4. But actually, I do appreciate at the wider edges more, as it can prevent mistakenly touching. The iPlay10 Pro comes with a 10.1-inch IPS full screen having the resolution of 1920×1200 pixels, while the ppi is only 225. Although the color effect and the image quality are not bad, the visual effect is not so good.

The front camera is set at the middle of Landscape display, which position is different from most of the tablet camera set at the Portrait display middle position.

From the back side of the Alldocube iPlay10 Pro, it ships with premium aluminum material, which is textured and solid, and the silver gray color looks beautiful. On the top of the rear side, there is a camera with a flash light. The ALLDOCUBE logo is printed on the middle of back side.

The power button and the volume button are placed on the right sidebar. And a Micro USB 2.0 Port supporting OTG, network sharing and charing, a 3.5mm DC Port supporting charging and a 3.5mm headphone jack are set on the top of the side. The Alldocube iPlay10 Pro also ships with dual stereo speakers on the bottom side, which provide pleasant sound experience.

Display:

Nowadays, we usually use the tablet to watch videos and play games for entertainment. But for me, I use the tablet to watch videos rather than play games because of the large screen size, which is not easy to hold it for a long time.

The display shows details clearly and reproduces colors well whatever the brightness. During the test time, I used it to replace my phone to watch video, and I play games with my phone at the same time. It’s a great device for relaxing.

Performance:

Alldocube iPlay10 Pro comes with Mediatek MT8163 processor, which is one of the most popular processor used in tablets. The Alldocube tablet arrives with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage, and it also supports Micro SD card up to 128GB.

Thanks to the MT8163 processor, it’s easy for the tablet to run the applications smoothly. Most of the time, you will have smooth and fluent feel and experience. However, because of the 3GB of RAM, the iPlay10 Pro would have a few glitches when turning on multiple applications. If you just think of it as an entertainment device, the glitch is not a matter.

Camera:

The Alldocube iPlay10 Pro is equipped with 5MP rear camera supporting auto focus and flash, and 2MP front camera. The image quality is mediocre, which blurry problem and details lacking are obvious.

[envira-gallery id=”269178″]

Although the camera setups are not so good, most of you would use smartphones to take photos rather than tablets. Therefore, I think these cameras are enough for a tablet.

Battery:

The models5f include Xiaomi Mi 9 SE, Xiaomi Mi 8, Xiaomi Mi 8 Explorer Edition, Xiaomi Mi 8 Screen Fingerprint Edition, Xiaomi Mi MIX 2S, Xiaomi Mi MIX 3, Redmi K20 and Redmi K20 Pro.

The Mi 9 is one of Xiaomi’s best smartphones going by the design. The phone was released earlier this year running Android Pie-based MIUI 10. Android Q brings several new features but the major focus is on enhancing the privacy features for users. Users with Android Q phones will have the power to decided whether an app can access the location while it is running in the background. When an app starts accessing location data, a microphone or a camera, Android Q will show a corresponding icon in the notification bar to tell the user which app is using the permission. Android Q comes with native support for Dark Mode. This feature is currently integrated with MIUI 10.

As a reminder, the Mi 9 features a 6.39-inch Samsung AMOLED screen. The phone is powered by a Snapdragon 855 chipset. It equally comes with a 20MP selfie camera and at the rear, there is a 48MP wide-angle + 12MP + 16MP triple cameras. The device gets its juice from a 3300mAh.

Samsung unveiled what is definitely the company’s best smartphone yet yesterday, talking about the Galaxy Note 10 series. In case you haven’t seen enough of the smartphones, Samsung has got you covered. The Korean tech giant has released a slew of promo videos of the Galaxy Note 10 models which they called hands-on videos.

Each of the videos focuses on a specific aspect of the new handsets, throwing more likes on the positive features on the devices. Sure, the videos can’t be unbiased as no mention is made of the removal of the headphone jack.

Samsung describes the design of the Galaxy Note 10 as “groundbreaking”. The massive display is dubbed “virtually bezel-less Cinematic Infinity Displays”. The promo video also touched on the amazing and improved S Pen. The S Pen is “even smarter” now, but is still sleek and slim. Trust Samsung to flaunt the Air Actions of the S Pen.

The Galaxy Note 10 cameras are identical to those in the S10 and S10+ but Samsung touts them to be “pro-grade”. That might be because of improvements in the software. The phone equally comes with a built-in video editor that lets you create “shareworthy” stuff.

The DeX also gets its own hands-on video even though it is not a new add-on. The Note10 models can be connected with a monitor or TV to bring it to life on the big screen, all thanks to DeX.

Samsung even promotes the Galaxy Note 10 as a good one for gaming.
