The OnePlus 7 Pro, which was launched back in May was rated very highly by DxOMark, scoring a staggering 111 points, just below the Huawei P30 Pro and Samsung Galaxy S10 5G. However, when the phone was subjected to real-life camera tests after the launch, the results weren’t extraordinary. This led to a lot of users questioning the phone’s DxOMark score.
OnePlus 7 has a pretty good camera setup too
Recently OnePlus product manager, Zack Zhang, explained the situation to The Next Web, “When people started getting the device, software which gave us really good grades, didn’t match their expectations. The photo needs to be natural and good in theory, but visually appealing as well. We didn’t do a good job at balancing those two aspects.”
While the company flagships have come a long way in terms of sheer camera performance, it still lags behind industry leaders such as Huawei, Google, and Samsung. And Zack admits that the company isn’t satisfied with its camera performance. “Even by our own standards, the camera is not where we want it to be. We’re trying to improve our image quality to match the best in the market.”
He further reveals that OnePlus has adopted a new philosophy for its camera where it wants the pictures to be natural yet feature a lot of emotion. The company wants to optimize this balance to ensure the pictures captured from OnePlus smartphones not only come out true to life but also satisfy the expectations of the user.
In this regard, the company has already setup special camera labs in four countries: mainland China, Taiwan, India, and Germany. However, it remains to be seen whether it can catch up with giants such as Huawei and Google who are well ahead in terms of computational photography.
Meanwhile, check out our extensive review of the OnePlus 7 Pro vs Redmi K20 Pro.
After many teasers and leaks, the wait is finally over for the UMIDIGI X as today, the company officially launched the in-screen fingerprint sensor value king featuring a 48MP AI triple camera. Together with the new mid-range flagship, the Chinese manufacturer also announced the UMIDIGI Upods, the company’s truly wireless earbuds. Both will go on global sale exclusively at the UMIDIGI Official Store on Aliexpress on August 26th (7 am GMT). Despite the official announcement, the price of the phone will be revealed later with the company claiming that it will be the most affordable phone with an in-screen fingerprint sensor. So, we expect the price would be much lower than recently released Xiaomi Mi A3. Let’s check out some key specs of the new model.
Latest gen in-screen fingerprint sensor and AMOLED for everyone
In-screen fingerprint sensor for the masses! This feature is not a privilege of expensive flagships anymore. UMIDIGI brings this high-end feature to the budget segment as the X features the latest optical in-display fingerprint sensor by Goodix, the same company that supplies tech giants like Huawei and Xiaomi. Also, it’s impressive that UMIDIGI equips the phone with a 6.35″ AMOLED display panel that is usually reserved for flagships.
48MP AI triple camera with ultra-wide-angle lens
The 48MP sensors are the new… black in the smartphone industry and UMIDIGI couldn’t offer anything less than a 48MP AI triple rear camera setup (48MP main, 8MP ultra-wide, 5MP depth). The 48MP main camera has a half-inch sensor with f/1.79 large aperture and 1.6μm (4in1) super-pixel that should perform well both in low-light and daylight conditions. The 8MP camera with the ultra-wide-angle lens on the other hand, is capable of capturing a wide view. Lastly, the 5MP depth sensor is required for accurate bokeh shots. All this hardware combined with AI algorithms allow for features like super night mode and AI scenes detection on the phone. The selfie shooter is 16MP and also uses AI to improve selfies.
Other goodies on UMIDIGI X
Besides the killer features of the fingerprint unlock and 48MP triple camera, the X comes with Helio P60 SoC backed by 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. The battery is big, at 4150mAh and supports 18W fast charging. Despite the big battery and multi-function NFC, the phone manages to remain at only 8.1mm thickness. UMIDIGI X runs on pure stock Android 9 Pie and a planned update to Android Q is coming according to the company. Of course, just like other UMIDIGI phones, the phone supports dual-4G VoLTE as well as global LTE bands.
Truly wireless earbuds UMIDIGI Upods
Alongside UMIDIGI X, the Chinese manufacturer also unveiled its new truly wireless earbuds Upods. The Upods headset is equipped with Bluetooth 5.0 and 7.2mm dynamic driver, delivering a stable connection and superior sound. Also, in the likes of Apple’s Airpods, it comes with a 600mAh charging box that helps the Upods to function 24 hours continuously. Each earbud weighs just 4g and their ergonomic design makes them comfortable to wear. They also support Google Assistant and Siri activation.
Price, global sale date and Giveaway
The UMIDIGI X global sale will kick off on August 26th. The price is yet to be known but a low price tag is expected since the company claims it’s the most affordable phone with an in-screen fingerprint sensor. In addition, the UMIDIGI Official Store is holding a guess-price contest where you can guess the price and win prizes. The first 1000 units will receive the Upods for free so you better add the phone to your cart right now to not miss the deal. Also, the first 10000 units of Upods will be available at just $9.9.

OPPO unveiled the independent Realme brand in May last year with the launch of the Realme 1. The move was an impressive one considering the phone was launched with several spectacular features and affordable price as its hallmark. It is now one year and two months since that maiden launch and the brand has seen over 11 phones in total and the shipment has not been disappointing either. In fact, Realme is celebrating selling 10 million smartphones within this period.
The announcement was made on the company’s official Weibo page earlier today. The feat was achieved between May 16, 2019, when the Realme 1 was launched and today. Roughly put, the company sold an estimated 22,000 smartphones every day but it doesn’t work that way.
After the Realme 1 with several million in shipments, Realme also launched the Realme 2, Realme 2 Pro. The Realme 3 and Realme 3 Pro also joined the fray with impressive specs. The company recently added the Realme X with a Snapdragon 710 chipset and pop-up selfie camera with an affordable price tag.
Realme X Mater Edition – White Garlic
We expect the company to continue its impressive run but in the face of competitors such as the Redmi brand, Pocophone and others, we can only expect interesting prospect for the market in which the consumer will be the ultimate winner.
Realme has an event scheduled in India on August 8 for the launch of its new 64MP camera smartphone. It looks like the China launch of the same phone will follow soon after. According to a leaked invitation (courtesy of some bloggers in China) shared on Weibo, Realme’s 64MP smartphone could be announced in China on August 15.
The invite shared on Weibo reveals that the new Realme 64MP phone will be announced at an official event on August 15 at 2 PM CST. The phone is said to use a 64MP Samsung GW1 sensor with 1/1.72″ large size and very high sensitivity. The sensor is capable of shooting 9216 x 6912 resolution images. With such large resolution images, the phone should be able to capture better details than a traditional 48MP or lower resolution sensors. The new 64MP sensor utilizes Tetracell technology (similar to Sony’s Quad-Bayer) to combine four pixels to output detailed 16MP resolution images.
Realme CEO, Madhav Seth had revealed a camera sample from its 64MP phone a few weeks back which gave us a glimpse of what it was capable of. However, we are yet to see extensive samples from this sensor to see how good it is in real life.
Meanwhile, Redmi will also release a 64MP smartphone this week. The brand has scheduled an event on August 7 in China where it will showcase the new device with the new camera sensor.
Note that Realme is yet to officially confirm this Aug 15 launch event for China.

Android Q Developer Preview 4 is now rolling out to OnePlus 6/6T and OnePlus 7/7Pro devices right now, right off the back of the third recent Android Q test download.
Unlike the Open beta programme which updates and upgrades via OTA download, you need to sideload and install the update files even if you are already enrolled in the Developer Preview programme. Installing does give OnePlus owners the opportunity to test-drive Android Q as it evolves ahead of a full release in the coming months.
It’s worth noting that no official announcement has yet been made over on the Official OnePlus Forums. Instead, the download files have been spotted then reported by several commenters in a thread discussing Preview 3, with the download files now being shared within the thread.
The changelog doesn’t uncover a great deal of what is new. Instead, it just lists ‘System functions improvements’ as the core addition. This likely means that there are quite a few fixes with this update — which is kind of expected given that this a ‘preview’ build after all.
It’s worth noting that OnePlus has also listed some of the issues and problems you may face by installing and running the Q Developer Preview 4 on your OnePlus phone. Some of those include stability issues, app compabibility problems, fingerprint scanner recognition being reset, and Google Pay not working correctly.
Chinese smartphone makers are on the spree of launching unique smartphones with innovative design. Xiaomi, a China-based smartphone maker has patented a smartphone design that packs a solar panel on the phone’s back.
In July last year, Xiaomi Mobile Software had filed a patent application with the WIPO (World Intellectual Property Office) for a smartphone having a solar cell module. The patent included a few sketches of the phone’s design, giving us a look at what we should expect if it ever makes it to the market.
The sketch shows that the smartphone comes with a no-notch display but it’s not clear where the front-facing camera is placed. There’s also no indication of the pop-up module for the front camera. The company could be opting for an in-display camera technology for this one, the technology for which has already been showcased by Xiaomi.
On the backside, the smartphone comes with a dual-camera module with the camera sensors placed vertically and having an LED flash in between both the sensors. There’s no fingerprint sensor on the back panel, confirming the in-display fingerprint sensor module.
The solar panel is the most noticeable part of the phone, which covers the majority of the phone’s back panel. Surprisingly, the solar panel is thinner than the camera module. Through this integration, it will be possible to charge through the phone via solar energy.
There are a few other companies that have explored the idea of a solar-powered smartphone and now Xiaomi is also working towards the same. However, there’s no information available regarding the phone’s launch. While the patent has been granted, this does not guarantee that the company will actually produce the phone and bring it to the market. It just means that the company is exploring the idea and is working towards it.
Still riding on the success of its previously launched robot vacuum cleaners including the 360 S5 and the 360 S6, the 360 company has now launched the 360 Robot Vacuum Cleaner S7.
While the market is teeming with all sorts of vacuum cleaners, it is worth noting that the 360 S7 is still worth choosing over the others. You’d normally end up spending a lot of money on a high-end robot vacuum cleaner, which might not even meet your daily needs.
The 360 S7, on the other hand, offers awe-inspiring features that help you keep your environment clean and tidy, without burning a hole in your pocket. Giving you something more to cheer about, 360 has now teamed-up with Gearbest, bringing the retail price of the 360 S7 Laser Navigation Robot Vacuum Cleaner down to just $459.99.
This is a noteworthy 10 percent reduction in the robot vacuum cleaner’s original asking price of $509.92.

An absolute steal at this price, the 360 S7 adopts the LDS Lidar and SLAM algorithm for more efficient cleaning routes planning. You can control the areas it sweeps and mops via APP, or use voice control through Alexa to provide instructions.
Once you install the water tank, the 360 S7 Laser Navigation Robot Vacuum Cleaner automatically switches to mopping mode, and switches back to sweeping when you remove the tank. It offers three noiseless, yet effective cleaning modes that produce max 2000Pa suction, max 65dB noise.

The XiaomiMi Mix 3 and OPPO Find X have given a new meaning to the term “slider phone” in recent years. In both cases, their manufacturers have leveraged this form of motion to develop alternatives to the all-too-common display notch. However, unlike the Mi Mix 3, the Find X‘s slider is automatic. This feat of engineering, while innovative, may not have helped the phone’s popularity.
Nevertheless, it appears that a new OPPO has been working on a 2nd generation of this technology. A new patent, allegedly found in the World Intellectual Property Office database, shows a new sliding-phone design from the company. It appears to have the exact same slider mechanism, but with colour images which show the smartphone from all sides.
The front shows a bezeless display, with rounded edges. The difference is that on the Find X, the two rear-facing cameras are found on the back of the mechanism that slides along with dual selfie-cameras. The patented device has a vertically mounted dual-camera setup and a “V” shaped design on its rear panel. It also has two camera sensors on the slider mechanism.
This novel style also gives the phone the appearance of having a large tick-mark on the back when the slider module is activated. The new patent, apparently granted on August 2, 2019, invites speculation that it may be applied to this year’s rumored Find Z flagship. However, as the rear camera module in its images only has space for 2 lenses, there is no guarantee that this is the case.
Redmi, after splitting from its parent company Xiaomi earlier this year, launched its much anticipated Redmi Note 7 and Note 7 Pro smartphones. Now, the company’s General Manager has confirmed that Redmi has started working on Redmi Note 8 series phones.
Lu Weibing, Vice President of Xiaomi and General Manager of Redmi has said that the upcoming Redmi Note 8 smartphone will be powerful than its predecessor. Earlier, he had claimed that Redmi will be the first to launch a smartphone powered by MediaTek Helio G90T processor.
This has led to the speculations that the Redmi Note 8 will be the smartphone from the company to be powered by the Helio G90T chipset. The company is also working on a 64 MP camera smartphone and the same technology could also be used in the Redmi Note 8.
The MediaTek Helio G90T is the more powerful version of the two processors in MediaTek’s new Helio G90 from the G-series of chipsets. It has 8 processors – 2 x Cortex-A76 cores clocked at 2.05GHz and 6 x Cortex-A55 cores clocked at 2GHz.
It has an ARM Mali-G76 3EEMC4 processor clocked at 800MHz. It supports up to 10GB of RAM and UFS 2.1 and eMMC 5.1 storage. There’s also an integrated Cat-12 LTE WorldMode modem and Bluetooth 5.0 too. The processor also boasts additional features like HyperGaming Technology, Dual Wakeup word for AI assistants, support for displays with a 90Hz refresh rate, and AI features for the camera.
Meanwhile, Xiaomi has scheduled an event on 7th August in China which is related to the upcoming 64 MP camera smartphone. It’s possible that the company will showcase the technology behind the 64 MP camera phone and the actual launch of the device will take place a few months later.
A new Hisense phone has gotten certified by China’s version of the FCC – TENAA. The phone which is listed as the Hisense NX has an unusual design. It doesn’t have a front-facing camera, sports a home button similar to that of an iPhone, and the upper part of the back has a thick bulge.
[envira-gallery id=”268178″]
The Hisense NX has a 5.45-inch 720 x 1440 display that is surrounded by thick bezels. The top is home to a proximity/light sensor and a slit for the speaker. The chin is significantly thicker as it houses a circular home button similar to that of the older generation iPhones. Flanking this home button on each side are two other physical buttons – a recent apps key on the left and a return key on the right.
The design of the back of the phone is quite unusual. The upper part where the camera sits protrudes before straightening out in the middle and then protruding again at the bottom.
[envira-gallery id=”268181″]
There is a single camera on the back flanked by an LED flash on the right and a microphone on the left. There is also a small slit at the bottom for the speaker.
The Hisense NX has its power button on the right-hand side of the gold frame. The volume buttons are split into two, with one on each side. Above the volume button on the left is the SIM tray.
TENAA says the phone is powered by a 1.8GHz octa-core processor. There will be three variants – 3GB + 32GB, 4GB + 64GB, and 6GB + 128GB. There is also support for storage expansion (128GB max.).
The rear camera of the Hisense NX is a 13MP sensor. There is no fingerprint scanner and since there is no front-facing camera, there is also no Face Unlock. The phone runs Android 9 Pie and packs a 4900mAh battery with support for fast charging.
The Hisense NX is not only thick at 20.6 millimeters but is also pretty heavy at 260 grams. It measures 168.45 millimeters in length and is 77.8 millimeters wide. There will be only one color variant available and it is called Pearl White.

Huawei Mate X, the Chinese giant’s first 5G as well as the first foldable smartphone, is finally all set to go on sale from next month. As per the reports, the smartphone will be launched at the Huawei Developer Conference in the coming days.
The report further adds that while the phone will be launched in a few days, interested buyers will have to wait till September to purchase the device. Also, because of the complex design, the company will be putting a limited quantity on sale because of the production and supply chain concerns.
The Huawei Mate X smartphone was initially set to launch in June this year but the sale was delayed to ensure its durable design after the Samsung Galaxy Fold fiasco. The smartphone has now received all the required certifications to launch, so the phone’s launch in China is not far away.
The smartphone comes with what the company calls is “Falcon Wing Design”. Unlike the Samsung Galaxy Fold, it folds completely flat with no visible gap. The company says that the hinge system used in the phone is patented and has over 100 components.
The Huawei Mate X features a large 8-inch screen with a 2480 x 2200 pixels screen resolution and an 8:7.1 aspect ratio when unfolded with pretty thin bezels. When folded, it transforms into a dual-display phone – one side is a 6.6-inch (2480 x 1148 pixels) 19.5:9 display while the other is a 6.38-inch (2480 x 892 pixels) 25:9 display.
Under the hood, it is powered by the company’s own Kirin 980 chipset, paired with 8GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. It has dual SIM support (nano only) but only SIM 1 supports 5G. You can also swap out the second SIM card for Huawei’s NM card (256GB max.). It comes with the 7nm Balong 5000 modem which brings 5G support to the device.
It features three cameras on the back, which also double as the selfie cameras. The cameras were co-developed with Leica and are made up of a 40MP wide-angle lens, a 16MP ultra-wide-angle lens, and an 8MP telephoto lens.
The phone runs the EMUI 9.1.1 custom interface, which is based on Android 9 Pie operating system out-of-the-box. As for the connectivity options, the device supports NFC, dual-frequency GPS, Bluetooth 5.0, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n/ac, and USB Type-C port.
The device has two built-in batteries, which offers a total capacity of 4,500mAh. Huawei has also debuted its new SupercCharge fast charging technology which supports up to 55W. The company claims that the new SuperCharge allows users to charge the device from empty to 85 percent in just 30 minutes.
Earlier, Huawei’s HongMeng OS was reported to be the replacement of Android for the company. However, since last month, the company changed the tunes and is now claiming that HongMeng was never meant to be the Android replacement and is for enterprise clients working on connected devices.
However, the reports are claiming the contradictory. A new report coming from China claims that Huawei is currently testing a new smartphone which is powered by the company’s own HongMeng OS. It further adds that the phone could get launched in Q4 2019 for a price of around 2,000 yuan, which roughly converts to $288.
The mid-range smartphone running HongMeng OS will be launched in order to attract software developers to join the company’s new ecosystem, claims the report. It adds that the system also has cryptographic functions that protect personal data and prevents users’ privacy from being breached. The phone is expected to get announced along with the upcoming Mate 30 series smartphones from Huawei.
The HongMeng OS will be launched by Huawei at its Developer Conference on 9th August in Dongguan, South China’s Guangdong Province. The Huawei HongMeng OS will also be powering the Honor Smart TV products which are expected to be available in the market from 10th August. Later, the operating system will be expanded to be available for a variety of fields, including autonomous driving, remote medical services, and industrial control.
When the United States put Huawei on the “Entity List”, effectively banning the Chinese giant from doing business or procuring technology from US-based firms, Google cut-off its business ties with the company. This meant that Huawei was no longer able to get the license to the Android operating system and then the company confirmed that it had been working on its own mobile operating system.
As per the reports, the HongMeng OS is based on open-source Android is compatible with Android apps. Also, during the test run, the operating system turned out to be 60 percent faster than Android.
Later, when the US announced that the US-based companies can keep doing business with Huawei as long as it doesn’t threaten national security, Huawei executive said that the HongMong OS is meant to IoT and industrial use. But it seems that the claim is not true and Huawei is working on a backup OS just in case these things don’t go in its favor.

Despite going through rough times because of the US ban on the company, Huawei has not backed down from working on new smartphones as well as launching devices at regular intervals. Earlier this year, the company launched the P30 lineup of flagship smartphones and now it’s gearing up to launch Mate 30 series.
Now, as per the new reports, Chinese tech giant Huawei has filed for a few new trademarks with the Intelectual Property Office of the UK. The applied patents are likely to be used for the company’s upcoming smartphones as they are named ‘P300’, ‘P400’, and ‘P500’.
The three trademarks are categorized as Class 9, with the description; ‘ smartphones; mobile phones; tablets ‘. This hints that the company will be making a departure from the current two-digit naming scheme of the company’s high-end P-series such as P10 and P20. The P-series and Mate-series from the company have been clear to the outsiders as the other series from the company seems somewhat confusing.
But the newly registered trademarks are also a bit confusing given that the company has also registered P300 moniker but the company has already launched P30 lineup of smartphones earlier this year. Ideally, the upcoming devices from the company should be the P400 series. However, the company could be planning for something entirely different from these trademarks.
Recently, the company has trademarked Huawei AirGlass and SuperSensing. The Huawei AirGlass is a protective layer on top of the display meant as a replacement of the Corning Gorilla Glass while the SuperSensing is for the camera module. Both these features are expected to be available on the upcoming Huawei Mate 30 phones.
The company had secured the Mate 30 trademark in July last year and the Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro are expected to launch in October this year and the company will also launch Mate 30 Lite model as well.
