Vivo Z5 is all set to release on July 31 and before it’s announced, the company’s product manager, Wu Fan thought it was a good time to reveal some camera samples from the unreleased smartphone. Earlier today, he shared a few shots of Vivo’s new headquarters in Dongguan and in the process revealed the camera prowess of the new smartphone.
Vivo HQ
First, let’s take a look at what we can confirm from these images. The watermark in each photo confirms that they were ‘Shot on Z5, AI triple camera’. So triple camera lens are confirmed on the Vivo Z5. Further, the watermark reveals that one of them will be a wide-angle lens. There should be a regular camera sensor as well as a depth focused sensor to complete the triple camera setup. Finally, the original samples shared are huge, of 8000 x 6000 resolution which should indicate that the primary camera is of 48MP.
If we had to comment on Vivo Z5’s camera samples, we can say that the phone manages click decent night shots with exposures controlled pretty well. The dynamic range also seems to be pretty decent in one of the samples. A couple of samples also confirm wide-angle mode.
As for the specs, a recent Vivo V1921A model passed through TENAA which is likely going to end up as the Vivo Z5. The listing reveal that the phone will feature a 6.38-inch AMOLED notch display with a very large 4400+mAh battery. It had a triple camera setup which included a 48MP primary sensors and two other sensors of 8MP and 2MP respectively. The front notch housed a 32MP shooter for selfies. The processor was clocked at 2.3GHz and is speculated to be the Snapdragon 712. There were 6GB and 8GB RAM options for the device.
Overall, it looks like the Vivo Z5 is shaping up to directly take on the Xiaomi Mi CC9 in China. Pricing will definitely be key to its success in the market.
Xiaomi has officially announced the Mi A3 mid-ranger in Spain. As we confirmed earlier in our hands-on article, the Mi A3 is a rebranded Mi CC9e model for the European market. The phone retains every aspect of its CC9e brother, except for the software which is replaced by Android One based on Pie.
Since we already know the specifications of the Xiaomi Mi A3, let’s first take a look at its pricing and availability. Spain is the first market to get this device. The phone will be available in just 4GB RAM variant with two storage options: 64GB and 128GB and will go on sale on July 24. The 4GB + 64GB variant is priced at 249 euros ($279) while the 4GB + 128GB variant will retail for 279 euros ($313). There will be three colors for the Mi A3 in Spain: Black, Blue, and Pure White. What’s interesting is that we have the ‘Kind of Grey’ model with us right now but there’s no mention of a Grey version for the Spanish market. It’s possible that the black version ends up being called ‘Kind of Grey’.
As for the specs, the Mi A3 comes with a modest 6.088-inch HD+ display with an indisplay fingerprint sensor, Snapdragon 665 processor, and 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. Up front, you have a 32MP selfie sensor.
The pricing puts the Mi A3 above the Snapdragon 660 powered Redmi Note 7 in the Spanish market. However, it’s HD+ display is sure to disappoint a lot of fans. After all, previous Mi A series mid-rangers have had FHD displays. But Android One and it’s camera setup could be enough to get the attention of European buyers. What are your thoughts?
Samsung surprised the tech industry last year when it announced a new custom Android overlay known as One UI. The new custom ROM was built on Android 9.0 Oreo and takes over from Samsung Experience and TouchWiz. The new UI comes with several optimizations to aid one-handed operations.
There are indications that Samsung is now ready to push Google’s latest Android Q update for the Galaxy smartphones. Of course, the Android Q will have the One UI overlay and it will be version 2.0. The tech giant will reportedly also push a newer One UI 2.1 to the Galaxy S11 series which is expected to debut next year.
These pieces of information were relayed by SamMobile, citing unnamed sources. There really isn’t any surprising detail in the entire setup. The pattern is similar to last year’s. Samsung announced the One UI 1.0 with Android 9.0 Pie and later on, the Galaxy S10 lineup came with version 1.1.
The One UI 2.0 is expected to bring new features and functionality but what those will be, we can’t tell. However, the update will bring all the Digital Wellbeing improvements that Google announced at its developer conference in May this year. Those improvements include Focus Mode, which will allow users to specify which apps they find most distracting and silence those apps when the feature is enabled. We also expect other core features hat Android Q brings on the One UI 2.0.
There is no word yet on the street as to when the Android Q update will be available on Samsung phones. We expect it to drop on the Galaxy Note 10 when it is launched.
It is 5 years already since Xiaomi entered India and as part of celebrations to mark this, the company is releasing a couple of products. The Redmi K20 and K20 Pro were announced today.

Amazfit smartwatches are always known for affordability and feature-rich user experience. These watches are popular among every age group as it brings refined and precise measurements. The Xiaomi backed Huami has come up with a new Amazfit GTR smartwatch. There are a lot of advancements and enhancements present in the new smartwatch.
Interestingly, the Huami has finally moved towards the round dial with Amazfit GTR. The company appears to be paving a way towards the premium segment with the new watch. Huami launched two different size variants of 42mm and 47mm with a slight difference in the build and color options. We will discuss all the changes in our comparison of Amazfit GTR vs Amazfit Verge. Let’s have a quick look at the specifications of both the smartwatches:
Amazfit GTR vs Amazfit Verge: Specs
Huami Amazfit GTR

43 MM Version - 1.2" AMOLED, resolution 390 X 390,326 ppi
Gorilla Glass 3, sports tracking, intelligent voice assistant, mobile payments
Design and assembly
Most of the Amazfit smartwatches are known for their cost-cutting square dials, but the Amazfit GTR is breaking the regime with a round dial. It beautifully fits in hand and is more attractive than the Amazfit Verge. The newly launched GTR is 5ATM water and dust resistant and can resist water up to the depth of 50 meters, whereas the Amazfit Verge carries IP68 certification only. The Amazfit GTR is available in two different sizes – 42 mm and 47 mm. The slimmer variant is about 9.2mm thick and weighs 25.5 grams. However, the 47mm variant is a bit heavy and bulkier weighing over 48 grams. The Amazfit 47 mm version comes in aluminum, stainless steel, and titanium metals. The Amazfit Verge has a plastic body, circular dial, and just one plastic button on the upper right. It becomes quite difficult to charge the Amazfit Verge.
Huami has introduced the new titanium build for the first time on any Amazfit watch. On average, the titanium build goes through 15 processes and takes 55 days to produce a single unit of the titanium watch. It is widely used in the aerospace industry due to its incomparable properties like hardness, corrosion resistance, lightweight and biocompatibility. The titanium smartwatch version comes paired with a rubber-coated hybrid strap. It is coated with a high wear-resistant oxide layer to enhance strap durability.
The stainless steel comes coated with high-gloss IP chrome film and AF anti-fingerprint film coating to enhance the metallic color.
Display:
The bigger Amazfit GTR wins with 1.39 -inches AMOLED display and the resolution of 454 x 454 pixels with 326 PPI pixel density. It has the most vibrant and large display. Meanwhile, the 43mm version is a bit small with 1.2-inches AMOLED display and 290 x 290 pixels resolution. Both the smartwatches fare well against the Amazfit Verge which carries a 1.3-inch display and 360 x 360 pixels resolution. Other features like Anti-Fingerprint coating makes the new watch our favorite pick among both. The AMOLED displays on both the smartwatches make the text more crisp and clear.
Hardware
The Amazfit Verge uses a dual-core 1.2GHz processor with 512 MB RAM and 4GB onboard memory. However, the Amazfit GTR uses low-power chip along with a new circuit design aimed at optimizing the power usage. It facilitates the brightness control and motion modes to save power. The power efficiency is improved with the reduction in the power consumption of about 48.7%. The GPS is optimized and has jolted down the use by 51.2 percent.
Amazfit GTR hosts 15 different sensors including BioTracker PPG Bio-Tracking Optical Sensor, 6-Axis Accelerometer, 3 Axial Geomagnetic Sensor, Air Pressure Sensor, Capacitive Sensor, Ambient Light Brightness Sensor, and others.
Software
The customers can easily choose between 100 dials having different styles and effects to customize the watch’s UI. Every dial is efficient and displays massive information like time and date, heart rate, steps count, remaining power, etc. all on a single screen.
To make the Operating system more intuitive and streamlined, Huami has divided functions into three different parts of daily, sports and health use. The Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity facilitates users to get text messages, email, calendars, social applications, and other information reminders.
On the other hand, Users can also initiate cardless transactions with the help of in-built NFC chip. Amazfit has integrated the NFC functionality with subway cards across 253 cities in China. It also supports bus transfer card. Alipay support is also present on the new Amazfit GTR watch for offline code-scan payments.
Amazfit Verge introduced ten different sports activities. Meanwhile, Amazfit GTR has 12 professional sports modes with 100 sports courses. It can easily differentiate and measure walking, running, outdoor riding, swimming, and different exercises. In real-time, it can report high heart rate, pressure rate, and other metrics.
Unlike the Amazfit verge, the Amazfit GTR supports Huami’s own BioTracker PPG technology which can precisely monitor 24-hour uninterrupted heart rate and can also report heart vibrations. It also helps to measure fat burning during exercise.
Amazfit Verge is compatible with any device running Android 4.4+ and iOS 9.0. The newly launched smartwatch supports Android 5.0+ and iOS 10.0 and above running devices.
Battery
The Amazfit Verge can withstand five days of regular usage upon the full charge, whereas, the new GTR smartwatch can work up to 24 days with regular usage. Notably, the Amazfit GTR 47 mm version comes with a 410 mAh LiPo battery and supports up to 24-days of battery life with normal usage and extends up to 74 days in basic watch mode (turning off Bluetooth, heart-rate and other functions). The GTR 42mm variant comes with 195 mAh battery and can last up to 12-days battery life with regular use and extends to 34 days with basic watch mode.
However, the Amazfit Verge’s 390 mAh battery gets fully charged within an hour, but the Amazfit GTR charges take 2 hours to charge 410 mAh battery.
Other features
Amazfit GTR 47mm Iron Man Edition will come with stainless steel case, iron man red-colored wristband and a Marvel’s commemorative coins. In connectivity, Huami added new Bluetooth 5.0 instead of the Bluetooth 4.0 present in the Amazfit Verge.
Pricing
Amazfit Verge was launched at the price of $116. This time, the Amazfit GTR 42mm is priced at 799 yuan ($116), and the limited edition Swarovski model will be available for 999 yuan ($145). The bigger, Amazfit GTR 47 mm aluminum and stainless steel versions will be available for 999yuan ($145). The titanium-based Iron Man special edition will go for 1399 yuan which roughly translates to $203.
Both the smartwatches fared well in our comparison of Amazfit GTR vs Amazfit Verge. The Verge is a bit old and is devoid of some new features, but the price is also considerably lower than the GTR.
Huami just launched the Amazfit GTR smartwatch yesterday, and it’s been warmly received. Apparently Huami is also quite happy about the little wearable, as they’re still trumpeting its features around. The company is especially proud of the Amazfit GTR 47mm’s battery life, which they claim can go to up to 74 days on a single charge.
It might seem like a ridiculous number, mainly because it actually is. Of course, the caveat is that you need to run it in basic mode, but it’s still a fairly impressive feat. Basic mode removes most of the functionality from the smartwatch, keeping only the base essentials. On normal mode, the device can last up to 24 days on a charge, which is still fantastic.
The Amazfit GTR 42mm may not be as great as the 47mm, but it’s also no slouch. The smaller wearable can last up to 34 days on basic mode, which means you only need to charge it once a month. The normal mode battery life is also pretty good at 12 days. Only needing to charge your smartwatch once every two weeks is still pretty great.
The standard variants of the Amazfit GTR 42mm is priced at 799 yuan ($116), while the limited edition swarovski model will go on sale for 999 yuan ($145). The Amazfit GTR 47mm aluminum alloy and stainless steel versions go for 999 yuan (US$ 145), while the titanium version and Iron Man special edition are priced at 1399 yuan (US$ 203). All of these are available for order starting today in China.

Samsung‘s Galaxy Note 10 ‘Unpack’ event is scheduled for the second week of August in New York, US. Yet, new details about the handsets have already been popping everywhere. Now, it has been reported that the upcoming Galaxy Note 10 smartphone could come with the same camera sensor as the Galaxy S10, though with an additional feature.
While we are not sure of the additional feature, it could be a 3D ToF lens that has been on leaks and rumours for quite some time. Moreover, the phablet will most likely have the regular Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 SoC instead of the all-new Snapdragon 855+ mobile platform that was recently launched.
According to the popular tipster Ice Universe, the Galaxy Note 10 will have S5K2L4 as the main sensor on its triple camera setup at the back. Notably, the sensor is the same as the Galaxy S10’s primary sensor, with 12-megapixel resolution. The tipster further adds that there will be a “very technical” additional feature, and the handset could be the last Samsung flagship to employ 12MP 1/2.55″ 1.4μm sensor.
Next year’s Galaxy S11 could come with a brand new configuration. In a follow-up tweet, Ice said that next year’s phones will deliver 10x optical zoom as well as 108-megapixel cameras. This doesn’t necessarily mean the Galaxy S11 will get both features, though we’d expect to have the zoom at the very least. Companies like Huawei and Oppo are already pushing forward on the 10x optical zoom, so we fully expect Samsung to join in soon.

Development of the 5G technology has been happening at such a rapid pace that a few countries, such as South Korea and China have already started commercial operations of this next-generation telecom network.
With this, many smartphone manufacturers have announced their plans to launch a 5G compatible smartphone later this year. A few of them, including Samsung, Xiaomi, and Huawei among others have already launched their first 5G phone.
Other smartphone manufacturers, which includes the likes of Vivo, Oppo, Lenovo, and others have announced that they will be launching their own 5G smartphone in the coming months. Now, China-based Meizu has announced that it will be launching its 5G device in the first half of 2020.
In a poster announcing this development, the company also revealed that it became a member of the three leading telecom operators in China — China Mobile, China Telecom, and China Unicom.
The company became a member of China Mobile’s 5G Terminal Pioneer Program in June last year and China Telecom’s 5G Research and Development Alliance in September last year. Last month, it became a part of China Unicom’s 5G Joint Innovation Laboratory.
A couple of days back, Meizu founder and CEO Huang Zhang said in the company’s forum that the 5G device from the company will be launched next year, at a time when the market is mature enough to accept and adopt the 5G technology. He thinks that it’s not a wise move to be an early adopter of the 5G technology, especially at a time when 4G consumption is shooting up.
While the company has now confirmed that the 5G smartphone from Meizu will be launched in the first half of next year, there’s no information available regarding this upcoming smartphone. However, we’ll come to know more about this phone as the launch nears.
There’s been a lot of buzz around the Xiaomi Mi A3 in the past couple of weeks. However, nothing much is left to our imagination since the phone has been extensively leaked. There’s already a hands-on with the device and now, we have got the Xiaomi Mi A3 in our hands too. So, let’s take a closer look at what the device has to offer.
First, the Xiaomi Mi A3 is an exact replica of the Xiaomi Mi CC9e in terms of design and specs. So it’s clear that Xiaomi is going to sell it in the international markets as a rebranded CC9e model. So you get the same dew drop display on the front with thick bezels at the bottom. The back remains the same as well, with the phone featuring triple cameras on the top left corner and the Xiaomi logo on the bottom left. However, unlike the Mi CC9e, the Mi A3 comes with a bunch of stickers on its right side, including the Android One logo. There’s CE certification as well which confirms that the phone is headed for Europe.
As for the specs, the Mi A3 stays exactly the same as the CC9e. So, yes, the phone will continue to use an HD+ screen which will be a downgrade from the FHD screen on its predecessor. The screen will be a 6.08-inch AMOLED panel and will come with in-screen fingerprint sensor. Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 powers the phone and there’s a large 4030mAh battery as well.
Finally, the triple camera setup remains the same with a 48MP sensor along with an 8MP wide-angle sensor and 2MP depth sensor. Upfront, the phone retains a powerful 32MP selfie shooter. As for the software, the phone gets a stock Android Pie flavor instead of MIUI.
We got the Xiaomi Mi A3 4GB + 64GB model but there should be other variants on the way. It’s interesting to note that Xiaomi takes inspiration from Google’s Pixel lineup in naming the color for the device. The grey color model with us is simply called as ‘Kind Of Grey’. The box includes a silicon case as well.

Calling the Redmi K20 Pro one of the best devices on the market wouldn’t be an overstatement. As it stands, the device is a testament to how far one can push the envelope when it comes to mid-range pricing. It’s a phenomenally good device, even with the price out of the equation, with no major flaws and very few minor flaws on top of that. So, it makes sense that Xiaomi and Redmi would want to capitalize on this.
The report also claims that this variant will go on sale in India INR 480,000 ($7000). We have no idea what sort of gold is going into this to jack up the price to $7000, but we’re not exactly huge fans. Is there really even a point to the device if it’s so expensive? We’re not entirely sure, but at the very least, the device isn’t ludicrously ugly like many gold devices are.
In terms of specs, this gold Redmi K20 Pro is pretty much exactly the same as your typical Redmi K20 Pro. All the great specs are still here, along with excellent features and design, just for a much higher price point. There’s essentially no reason to buy this device, just like there’s never been any reason to purchase ludicrously expensive device. But, it exists, and we suppose there’s probably a market for these things somewhere in the world.
Recently, an executive of Huawei’s sub-brand Honor confirmed that the company is working on Smart TVs. Now, insiders aware of the development say that the first Smart TV from Huawei will come powered by the company’s own HongMeng OS.
As per the reports, Huawei will be launching its first Smart TV as early as August this year. The company is aiming its Smart TV product, which it likes to call “Smart Screens”, the hub for controlling all internet-connected devices at home.
The TV will also act as an entertainment as well as an information center for the families, claims Honor President George Zhao. While he took the stage recently to confirm the development of smart TVs, he didn’t reveal much about the features of the upcoming TV.
We’ve known about the HongMeng OS from Huawei from quite some time now. After the US government put Huawei in the “Entity List”, effectively banning US-based firms to do business with the Chinese giant, Huawei confirmed that it had been working on its own operating system and it’s ready to get launched.
As per the reports, the HongMeng OS is currently in the testing phase and is expected to get launched in the coming months. Recently, during an interview with French media, Huawei CEO confirmed that the HongMeng OS or Oak OS won’t be limited to smartphones and will run on a wide range of devices, including routers, network switches, tablets, computers and data centers.
Huawei is aiming to create a singular operating system for all of its products. The company’s CEO Ren Zhengfei also said that it’s very likely that HongMeng OS is faster than the Android and macOS. Earlier, it was reported that the upcoming operating system is about 60 percent faster than Android.

Lenovo recently launched its Lenovo Z6 Pro flagship smartphone which comes with an impressive set of specifications at a competitive price. Now, months after the phone’s launch DxOMark has released the ratings of the Lenovo Z6 Pro.
The smartphone has scored 95 points in the overall camera performance. The device scored 103 points for the photo performance and 79 points for the video performance. Overall, the Z6 Pro smartphone has surpassed the ratings of Apple iPhone 8 Plus, LG V40 ThinQ, among others.
The Lenovo Z6 Pro’s main camera makes use of a 48-megapixel 1/2-inch Quad-Bayer sensor coupled with a wide-angle (28mm equivalent) f/1.8 lens. Quad-Bayer sensors improve color, detail, and dynamic range by combining the signal from four adjacent pixels into one, which results in a final 12-megapixel (4000 × 3000 pixels) output.
For zoom shots, the smartphone also comes with an 8-megapixel secondary camera with an f/2.4 telelens that, just like the primary camera, comes with PDAF autofocus. On the front side, the phone comes with a 16-megapixel wide-angle lens but DxOMark has not included the front-facing camera in its testing protocols.
The smartphone features a 6.39-inch Full HD+ display which offers a screen resolution of 1080 x 2340 pixels and an aspect ratio of 19.5:9. The screen of the phone is integrated with a sixth-generation in-display fingerprint reader which even works with wet fingers.

The Lenovo Z6 Pro runs Android 9 Pie operating system and comes preloaded with the company’s own ZUI 11 custom interface. For optimized gaming experience, the handset features Game Turbo game acceleration. The device is fuelled by a 4,000mAh battery that carries support for 27W fast charging through USB-C.
