The leak has no information on the amount of RAM that will be present on the device. The device will release in 128 GB and 256 GB storage editions, claims the publication.

Apple’s new Patent helps Users with Partial Blindness see the full Field of View

By
Joel Joseph
-

When we say Augmented Reality, the first thing that comes to mind is AR Emojis or other similar application wherein a virtual object is placed in the real world. However, AR can have a number of other significant applications, and it looks like Apple is working on an important AR feature to help users with partial blindness see better.

An image from the patent filing of a visually-impaired user viewing a scene via a mobile device

Many types of visual impairment result in partial blindness or obstruction in a person’s field of vision. These people can develop floaters or blind spots which obstructs a part of their vision. There are also people who have weakened vision due to diseases such as diabetes. Apple’s new AR patent filed at USPTO is aimed at helping such people with visual impairment by warping images in their field of view.

An example of how a real-world scene can be warped so the user can see behind their ocular obstruction.
Here, in the second image, we can see how the numbers 5 and 6 are shown clearly despite the obstruction

Typically, if you have a floater or blind spot, you won’t be able to see a small portion in your field of view. Apple’s patent reveals that it can use a camera or an image sensor to capture the image in the person field of view. It then determines the obstructed portion in their line of sight and warps images in order to give a complete picture to the user. The amount of warp will depend upon the person’s visual impairment. For example, if a user has weakened vision, the device can enlarge the image in his or her field of view to give a better view of the real world. Further, the patent mentions eye-tracking which will ensure that the warping technology remains relevant even when the user looks around.

In the patent, Apple has used a device like a smartphone to show how this technology works. However, it can also be applied to other devices like smart glasses which the Cupertino giant is said to be working on. So, this tech could be incorporated inside Apple’s rumored AR Glasses when it makes it to the market sometime in the next couple of years.

The display of the Note 10+ is surrounded by super-slim bezels and a slightly thick chin. The handset will feature an in-display fingerprint scanner since it is absent from the back panel.

The rear side of the Galaxy Note 10+ has four cameras. Three of them arrangement in a vertical module and alongside it is an LED flash, a gradient colorway and a 3D ToF sensor. The smartphone lacks a dedicated button for accessing Bixby AI assistant.

Samsung-Galaxy-Note-10-Silver-1068x641

Rumors surrounding the Galaxy Note 10+ have revealed that it will be fueled by Snapdragon 855 chipset. In other markets, the company could be selling its Exynos 9825 chipset version. The display of the phone is expected to carry support for quad HD+ resolution.

The Note 10+ may feature at least 8 GB of RAM and an inbuilt storage of 128 GB. For capturing selfies, it has a front camera of 10-megapixel.

Honor‘s been hitting the news quite frequently these past few days. Their upcoming launch is only 4 days away, and we’re still not sure what they have in store for us come the 15th. Today’s teaser adds to the mystery of what’s coming, claiming a brand new product is coming. Is this just the new Honor 9X, or could it be something completely new?

Going off of yesterday’s post, there’s a high chance that this brand new product is the new Honor Magicbook. We got a glimpse of the new device yesterday, and it certainly looks pretty ready for launch. The time is ripe for a brand new laptop from the company, seeing as the old one is starting to get a bit outdated.

Editor’s Pick: Nokia 9 PureView vs Honor 20 Pro vs OnePlus 7

On the other hand, it’s possible that we’ll see a brand new Honor TV. Huawei have already said in the past that they’re not interested in making TVs, but that doesn’t apply to Honor. We saw a TV in yesterday’s image, but it’s not exactly concrete evidence. It would fit the bill of being a completely brand new product launch though.

Of course, we’re definitely going to see Honor’s new 9X and 9X Pro. The main question is, what’s going to launch alongside those two devices? We’re eager to find out more, but all we can really do for now is wait for more information. In the meantime, stay tuned on Gizmochina.com for any news on the upcoming Honor product launch.

Nokia 9 PureView vs Honor 20 Pro vs OnePlus 7: Specs Comparison

By
Michele Ingelido
-

Nokia 9 PureView and its astonishing camera department just debuted in the Indian market. Despite it did not catalyze a lot of attention, this is definitely among the most impressive camera phones of 2019 and it is even the first device with a Penta camera setup on its back. Despite being a perfect phone for photography-addicted, it is also an affordable flagship and, given that it made its debut in the huge Indian peninsula, we think it is time to compare it with other competitive flagships of 2019. We chose the Honor 20 Pro and OnePlus 7 due to their great camera capabilities and their pretty affordable price tags compared to other flagships.

Design

Despite it boasts an amazing build quality, Nokia 9 PureView does not focus on design and look. It has a very elegant glass back, but there are too many holes on it and also thick bezels around the display. OnePlus 7 is just a slight upgrade of the OnePlus 6T and it is almost identical when it comes to aesthetics, nothing so exciting even in this case. The real interesting one is Honor 20 Pro which has a punch-hole display and very slim bezels. It is even the most compact one, so it fits very nice in a pocket and it is easier to use with one single hand. But note that Nokia 9 PureView is the only water resistant phone thanks to the IP67 certification (not the highest level of water resistance, but it withstands temporary immersions up to 1 meter deep for 30 minutes).

 

Display

While Nokia 9 PureView has not exactly the best design, it comes undoubtedly with the best display. Despite it is an 18:9 panel, it boasts a higher resolution than its rivals (Quad HD+ with 1440 x 2880 pixels) and it is even HDR10 compliant, so it has an amazing color reproduction. Now it is up to you deciding whether it is worth to get thicker bezels for a better display or not. The silver medal goes to the OnePlus 7 which still comes with an OLED display just like the Nokia 9 PureView, but it has a lower resolution and it is not HDR-compliant. Honor 20 Pro has a midrange-class IPS panel which is its weakest point if we compare it with other flagships.

 

 

Hardware/Software

OnePlus 7 wins the hardware comparison simply because it is equipped with a stronger processor. We are talking about the Snapdragon 855 by Qualcomm running at a higher 2.84 GHz frequency and including a better GPU. Right after, there is Honor 20 Pro which is equipped with a Kirin 980 and 8 GB of RAM, while the last place goes to the Nokia 9 PureView and its old-gen Snapdragon 845 chipset paired with just 6 GB of RAM. But Nokia 9 PureView is still very fast and constantly updated as it is part of the Android One program.

 

Camera

My favorite one when it comes to the camera department is the Nokia 9 PureView because of its Penta camera including 2 RGB sensors and 3 monochromatic sensors. All the sensors can work at the same time and they capture an impressive amount of light and advanced depth information. Thanks to this device, you can make professional shots which you can edit in an advanced way. If we talk about photo quality, Honor 20 Pro is more or less at the same level with its 48 MP, the brightest focal aperture ever seen on a  mobile phone (f/1.4), a dedicated macro camera and even a better selfie camera than Nokia 9 PureView.

 

Battery

Given that it packs a way bigger battery than both OnePlus 7 and Nokia 9 PureView, as well as a smaller display, Honor 20 Pro wins the battery life comparison. Right after, there is OnePlus 7, while Nokia 9 PureView has just an average battery.

 

Price

While Nokia 9 PureView and Honor 20 Pro carry a €600/$675 starting price tag (it varies depending on the market), OnePlus 7 starts from €550/$620. If I had to choose the best device for most of the consumers, I would go for the Honor 20 Pro due to its better design, bigger battery, and impressive cameras.

Official Samsung Galaxy Note10 renders shows us what to expect

The Galaxy Note10 unpacked event is less than a month away. However, more details about the new Samsung flagship are expected in the weeks leading up to the event. While we have seen renders based on CAD drawings and have an idea what it looks like, they still can’t compare to official renders of the device which have now surfaced, thanks to Roland Quandt of Winfuture.de.

Galaxy Note10 Silver

The renders show us two of the color variants the Galaxy Note10 will be available in which are Black and Silver Gradient. The latter is similar to the Huawei P30 Pro’s Breathing Crystal color variant and has a contrasting blue stylus.

The Galaxy Note10 has an Infinity-O display with the punch hole for the camera sitting right in the middle at the top of the screen. The top bezel is now significantly thinner while the chin has also been shaved by a few millimeters. In a nutshell, we particularly like the way the front of the device looks.

Galaxy Note10 Black

The rear is home to three cameras stacked on top of each other and sharing the same housing. Flanking the sensors on the right is the LED flash. There is no fingerprint scanner on the rear like we have on the Galaxy Note9 as the Note10 will have an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanner. In some of the renders, we see the back of the Galaxy Note10 curves to meet the frame in the middle.

The Galaxy Note10 will come with a Snapdragon 855/Exynos 9825 processor depending on the market. It will have a 6.3-inch screen Super AMOLED display and be available in different RAM and storage configurations. There will also be a Galaxy Note10+ whose live photos surfaced a few weeks ago.

Mobvoi announces TicWatch Pro 4G: LTE, more RAM, more protection for $299

Mobvoi announced a new smartwatch today. The new watch is the TicWatch Pro 4G, an LTE variant of the TicWatch Pro released more than a year ago. However, the addition of LTE isn’t the only difference between this and the non-LTE model.

Ticwatch Pro 4G LTE

Based on the teaser, we thought the new smartwatch was a hybrid similar to the Withings Steel HR but we were wrong. Though we will admit we are not too excited seeing as this is a 4G model of an already existing smartwatch. The addition of 4G means you will be able to make or receive calls, reply texts, and connect to the internet without connecting to your phone or a WiFi network.

The watch case is made of polyamide and glass fiber while the bezel is stainless steel. Unlike the standard edition, it also has an aluminum back cover. It has a 22mm interchangeable silicone strap and comes in black. The smartwatch measures 45.15 x 52.8 x 12.6 millimeters and even weighs less than the non-LTE model at 47.4 grams.

Ticwatch Pro 4G LTE Verizon

The TicWatch Pro 4G has the same 1.39-inch 400 x 400 AMOLED display as the standard model. It also has the same FSTN LCD display for the Essential Mode which uses less power. However, the 4G model is covered with Gorilla Glass 3 while the standard model has a “high strength cover glass”.

The watch runs Wear OS and is powered by the Snapdragon Wear 2100. It comes with 1GB of RAM, double that of the non-LTE model, but storage remains 4GB. There is support for 4G, VoLTE as well as E911 and SOS services. It also has GPS, GLONASS, Beidou, and AGPS (missing on the standard version).

The TicWatch Pro 4G has a PPG heart rate sensor (TicPulse 24hr monitoring), accelerometer, gyroscope, E-compass, NFC (Google Pay), WiFi 802.11 b/g/n, and Bluetooth 4.2 LE. However, it now has a MIL-STD 810G certification which means it can withstand temperature shocks between -30°C to 70°, operate between -20°C and 55°C, is shockproof and sand and dustproof among others. It can also be used while swimming, unlike the standard version.

Ticwatch Pro 4G LTE vs TicWatch Pro standard

Its battery capacity remains unchanged at 415mAh and Mobvoi says that should last up to 2 days in Smart Mode, or up to 5 days in Essential Mode auto-switch turned on, or up to 30 days entirely in Essential Mode. It comes with a pre-loaded SIM but the LTE feature won’t be activated until early August. However, other features will continue to work. Do note that it only works with Verizon.

The TicWatch Pro 4G is priced at $299 but if you order it today from the official website, you can get it for $279 along with a free TicHome Mini. If you order from Amazon, you only get $20 off.

Ulefone Armor Flip: The first clamshell phone of the company will arrive this month! (video)

Most of the people around their mid-20s may not even remember that there was a time without smartphones and that clamshell phones were a big hit. But for users over 30 years old, flip phones have always had a soft spot in their hearts even after the advent of smartphones. And there’s still a significant number of users who’d like to have one as a secondary -or even primary- device. The Chinese manufacturer knows that and they are introducing the Ulefone Armor Flip that is a rugged flip phone, ergonomically designed, incorporating a large-button keypad for ease of use along with a big, 1200mAh battery and dual SIM/dual standby support.

As an Armor Series member, the Armor Flip is a rugged feature phone featuring IP68/IP69K protection grade as well as MIL-STD-810G certification, which guarantee its durability and enable it to handle different complex, severe using environments. The large battery is good enough for 13 days of standby time or 8 hours of continuous talk time. It is designed ergonomically to be easier to handle and the keypad sports large buttons to make typing messages or dialing numbers easy. As you can see, it is suitable both for children and elder people.

Besides the rugged features, there’s also a 1.3MP high definition camera for basic photography and it comes with an integrated headset-free FM radio as well. What’s more, there is a microSD card slot that lets you increase storage to 32GB more while the dual SIM/dual standby function makes it possible for you to use 2 separate numbers at the same time.

It’s said that the Armor Flip will be officially launched at the end of July. So far that’s all the details we know about it and the exact price will be revealed shortly before it hits the marker. To learn even more details about it, visit the official product page.

Huawei’s MediaPad M6 “Parallel View” feature supports most mainstream applications

When Huawei launched the MediaPad M6 tablet along side the Nova 5, the company unveiled a new feature that would be onboard the tablet. Dubbed Parallel view, the feature is quite similar to the split-screen feature found on smartphones just that it works on landscape mode. Huawei has now announced that the parallel view feature is supported by most mainstream apps with more to follow soon. Huawei MediaPad M6

The compatible apps are divided into three batches. The first batch includes 17 supported apps such as WeChat, QQ, Taobao, Baidu, Today Headlines, Jingdong, Appbao, Weibo, Thunder, Baidu Mobile Assistant, Tmall, 360. Other apps include Mobile assistant, know, car home, vibrato, fast hand, volcano video. The second batch includes apps such as Alipay, nano-box, homework help. We expect the first batch of apps to be ready when the MediaPad M6 goes on sale. The third batch of apps is reportedly being optimised.

In case you are wondering how Huawei’s Parallel View differs from our below Android’s split screen feature. The difference between the split screen and this Parallel view feature is that both apps can work simultaneously unlike split-screen where one app will be frozen if a second one is working. In addition, one app can simultaneously open two task interfaces without any interference. This isn’t available on split-screen mode.

Huawei Mate 30 Lite appears on TENAA, packs quad rear cameras and 256GB of storage

By

If you are a fan of Huawei, then surely, you must be looking forward to the Mate 30 series expected to launch in Q4 2019. Like the previous Mate series, the Mate 30 series is expected to have a lite version which will launch as the Mate 30 Lite. This lite version has now made its way to TENAA.

Huawei Mate 30 Lite Design
Alleged diagram of Huawei Mate 30

The Mate 30 Lite (SPN-AL00 and SPN-TL00) will be packing some pretty big upgrades compared to its predecessor. The display is slightly smaller at 6.26-inches but the resolution stays the same at 2340 x 1080. There are no images yet so we can’t tell what it looks like but the image above which surfaced in June is said to be what the phone looks like. However, it won’t have dual-front facing cameras but a single 32MP sensor.

The back of the Mate 30 Lite will house a quad camera setup which includes a 48MP primary sensor, an 8MP secondary camera we believe is an ultra-wide angle lens, a 2MP depth sensor, and another 2MP macro camera. It has a fingerprint scanner and we know it isn’t under the screen since the display is an IPS panel and not AMOLED.

Editor’s Pick: Samsung expects sharp profit falloff, Huawei situation partially to blame?

The Mate 30 Lite will be powered by a 2.2GHz octa-core processor. This is most probably the new Kirin 810 and it is paired with 6GB or 8GB of RAM and 128GB or 256GB of storage. The Mate 20 Lite maxes out at 64GB, so this is definitely an upgrade. Even with more storage, Huawei still adds a MicroSD card slot for up to an additional 256GB of space for videos, photos, and files.

The phone also comes with a bigger battery, 3900mAh according to the TENAA listing and with support for fast charging. It will run Android 9 Pie and be available in Magic Night Black and Aurora. Its dimensions are given as 156.1 × 73.9 × 8.3 millimeters while its weight is 178 grams.

It is no surprise that the Mate 30 Lite is showing up early. Its predecessor launched in August 2018 which means the Mate 30 may arrive later this month or next month. Its more powerful siblings – the Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro, won’t arrive until October.

Nokia unveils the Beacon 1 mesh Wi-Fi router that smartly ports to the best wireless channel

By

Nokia is gradually spreading its tentacles to other smart home gadgets after its failed adventure with Withings. The company last year acquired mesh networking start-up Unium and subsequently released its first mesh router dubbed Beacon 3.There is now a successor, or rather a trimmed down version known as Beacon 1.Nokia Beacon 1

The Beacon 1 wireless router features a sleeker build as well as a cheaper price tag. The device can work in tandem with its pricier sibling. It goes on sale today priced at $129. This is just about $70 cheaper than the Beacon 3. The price offer also includes a bundle of three for $299.

EDITOR’S PICK: Flipkart confirms Realme 3i has an Helio P60 processor and a 4230mAh battery

The most outstanding feature of the Beacon 1 wireless router is perhaps the new smart channel-hopping feature. Nokia calls the feature “Intelligent Channel Selection” and it lets the router pick the best channels for the 2.4- and 5GHz frequency bands by analyzing nearby wireless usage patterns over time, rather than simply picking the clearest channels at the moment. As such, you avoid picking up networks that may lose their strength in a jiffy.

In addition, the device also comes with a bridge mode that’s compatible with an existing router. This comes handy for turning the Beacon 1 into an access point that you can use with other routers, like the combo modem/Wi-Fi router your ISP supplied.

The business-oriented XIDU PhilBook Max hits the market for just $349.99

By
Dimitris Economou

Making a laptop for office work is not that easy since “office work” has many definitions. For example, someone works at the office all day whereas someone else may need to leave office and work on the go. So, manufacturers try to implement as many as possible characteristics that will make a laptop suitable for both worlds. This is where XIDU is aiming with the all-new Philbook Max 2in1 notebook. Of course, safety and stability are the priority for business laptops, However, with changes in people’s demands and development in the industry, notebooks for business people are expected to be stable, safe and at the same time versatile and trendy.

Philbook Max

When developing the PhilBook Max, the Chinese manufacturer firstly dealt with safety and security. This was easy as the security features of Windows 10 are greatly improved over previous versions. The Philbook Max protects users’ privacy via pin while the touchscreen also improves their working efficiency by reducing reliance on mouse and keyboard. In addition, the device sports an Intel Apollo Lake CPU clocked up to 2.5GHz backed by 6GB of RAM and 128GB SSD, enabling users to multitask without any noteworthy lag. What’s more, it also comes with a backlit keyboard that perfectly suits the need of people who work overtime.

Philbook Max

A definitely killer feature is the 2in1 design that, with the help of the 360° flexible hinge, allows you to flip the screen to whatever position suits you best. You can even use it as any other tablet if you flip it 360°. This is space-saving as well if you find yourself traveling in a narrow plane or train seat. And if you get tired, you can relax by watching a movie or some videos when in tablet mode.

Philbook Max

As far as build quality is concerned, the company has undoubtedly done a good job. Philbook Max features a sophisticated aluminum alloy body and the abrasive texture of A and D side of the laptop gives a deluxe and comfortable touch. More importantly, it helps reduce fingerprints and other residues. Also, it is more durable than plastic although it dents may appear on aluminum if the laptop accidentally falls. Well, that’s better than ending up with a broken plastic laptop.

Philbook Max

Lastly, the Philbook Max also provides various external ports including 1 x Mini HDMI, 2 x USB 3.0, 1 x Microphone Jack, 1 x Bluetooth 4.2, 1 x MicroSD card slot, 802.11 ac/a/b/g/n, and a Webcam. The device is now available on XIDU’s Official Store costing just $349.99, which is way lower than similar products. If you are looking for a portable, versatile, and cost-effective product it is worth a shot. Don’t forget to check out the coupon list to get it at an even lower price. More coupons will be available for Amazon Prime Day.

New OnePlus 7 Pro update will fix random shutdown bug

By
Airyl Jaszly

All new smartphones tend to go through a period in which they experience some bugs and kinks that are usually ironed out in future patches. This is why it did not come as a surprise to learn that OnePlus 7 Pro owners were running into issues with the handset, although in this case, this issue seems to be pretty severe.

For those of you who aren’t aware, many OnePlus 7 Pro users have been finding that their devices have been randomly shutting down. There appears to be no rhyme nor reason for the device’s shutdowns, which is pretty peculiar. Following the shutdown, the only way to reboot the phone is by manually rebooting into fastboot.

Thankfully, OnePlus seems to be aware of the problem and are already working on a fix. In a statement made to Android Police, a OnePlus representative said, “we are aware of this issue, and we will be issuing an update to address it.” There is no word on when the patch will be released, but the good news is that it doesn’t seem to be particularly widespread, so not all OnePlus 7 Pro owners are affected.

For now, there’s not really much one can actually do about it other than fastbooting. It’s a temporary fix, but at least it’s something. In the meantime, stay tuned over here on Gizmochina.com to see if anything new comes up regarding the upcoming update.
