Today, the company has announced a new special edition of the smartphone — Honor 20 Pro Moschino, which as the name itself suggests is launched under a partnership with Italian luxurious brand Moschino.
The Honor 20 Pro Moschino Edition seems to be limited to the Chinese market only and is all set to go on sale from tomorrow, i.e. 2nd July at 10:08 AM local time. From the images, it seems that the phone comes in Black color with a Golden colored logo on the back.
This special edition phone is expected to have the same specifications as the standard model. It features a 6.26-inch All-View Full HD+ display with the punch-hole housing a 32-megapixel selfie camera.
Under the hood, the smartphone is powered by the company’s own Hisilicon Kirin 980 octa-core flagship chipset. At this time, we are not sure about the memory variant of this Moschino Edition of the phone but it could have 8GB RAM + 256GB storage.
In the camera department, the Honor 20 Pro packs a quad-camera setup comprising a 16MP f/2.2 super-wide angle camera, a 48MP main Sony IMX586 camera with an f/1.4 aperture, an 8MP f/2.4 telephoto camera, and a 2MP f/2.4 Macro camera. It also comes with support for up to 30x digital zoom.
The smartphone doesn’t come with an audio jack but has support for 9.1 surround sound feature that is said to work with most headphones and earphones. It runs on Android 9 Pie with Magic UI out-of-the-box and is powered by a 4,000 mAh battery with 22.5W fast charging support that can charge the phone up to 50 percent in 30 minutes.
Even though Huawei is facing several difficulties to keep its operations going because of the U.S. government’s decision to blacklist the Chinese telecommunications giant, the company continues to launch smartphones.
The Huawei Mate 30 series is in the pipeline and as per the reports, the company is all set to launch the Huawei Mate 30 5G smartphone by the end of this year, but it’s likely to go official in December 2019.
As per the reports, Huawei shared some information about the upcoming smartphones from the company at a 5G conference in Russia. It reportedly showed a slide which mentioned that the Mate 30 5G is all set to launch in December this year.
While it could be that the timeline for the Mate 30 5G launch in December is for the Russian market but this confirms that the phone will go official this year. We expect the 4G variant as well as other Mate 30 series phones to get launched a bit earlier, somewhere around October or November.
Once launch, it could be the Chinese tech giant’s third 5G smartphone to get launched this year. Earlier this year, the company launched Huawei Mate X, which is its first 5G as well as first foldable smartphone and is set to go on sale in September. Later, the company launched Huawei Mate 20 X 5G, its first non-foldable smartphone with 5G support.
Apple has been one of the leading smartphone brands in China when it comes to premium segment but it has been losing users in China from quite some time. Now, as per the reports, the company is working on a special version of the iPhone for the Chinese market.
This seems to be an effort from the company to stop existing users from switching to other devices and also to get users back who are opting for the Chinese domestic brands such as Huawei, Oppo, and Vivo among others.
When the iPhone XS was launched, it was an attractive offering for the market as it featured a big display, support for dual SIM, as well as better cameras, but the price range of 6,000 Yuan to 10,000 Yuan discouraged users from buying it.
Now, in an effort to lower the pricing of iPhone in the Chinese market, the company is reportedly planning to remove some additional features from the iPhone. For instance, most users in China do not use Face ID and thus, the company could get rid of it in the Chinese market and could include the traditional fingerprint sensor, aka Touch ID.
It is not yet known when the US-based tech giant is planning to launch this new iPhone but it will be interesting to see if the company indeed comes up with a new version of iPhone especially for the Chinese market.
According to the report from China Xintong Institute, the average price of smartphones in the Chinese market rose 16.8 percent to 2,523 Yuan in the year 2018. On the other hand, the pricing for the segment priced above 4,000 Yuan, the pricing rose only 13 percent in which Chinese brands accounted for over 30 percent.
It seems that Apple does have a chance to grab a significant amount of market share in the Chinese market with a custom Chinese version of the iPhone. However, that depends if the customers in China are willing to spend more amount of money for a device that may possibly come without premium features.
On May 28, Redmi had launched the Redmi K20 and Redmi K20 Pro smartphones in China. These phones came with topnotch specs, impeccable design and affordable pricing.

The Huawei Mate 20 and Mate 20 Pro might be the devices to popularize the square-shaped camera housing but it is actually the 2016 LG X cam (below) that first launched with that design. Apple and Google will be adopting the same design for the iPhone XI series and Pixel 4 respectively this year but Huawei might be ditching it.
Image source: Gsmarena.com
A glass back panel said to be that of the Mate 30 Pro has surfaced on the web and it shows the phone will swap the square-shaped camera housing for a circular one, not unlike that of the Moto Z3.
A tech blog decided to photoshop the Mate 20 and made a fake render of the Mate 30 (below) to give us an idea of what the phone may look like with the new circular camera housing.
We are not sure how many camera sensors the circle will hold but we believe there should be at least three. The glass panel is shown to have Leica’s branding which means Huawei and the German company will once again continue their partnership with the development of the cameras.
The Huawei Mate 30 Pro should come with an AMOLED display. There are rumors the screen will have a 90Hz refresh rate just like the OnePlus 7 Pro. The phone should also have an in-display fingerprint scanner and a battery capacity over 4000mAh with support for fast charging and wireless charging. It should also arrive with a new version of EMUI, EMUI 10 to be precise.
We also expect it to launch with a brand new 7nm processor – the Kirin 985. This new chipset should come with an in-house NPU just like the new Kirin 810 chipset.
What do you think about the switch to a circular camera housing, yay or nay?
US president, Donald Trump’s recent statement that US companies can do business with Huawei may be a glimmer of much-needed hope for the company. The US ban, though suspended for 90 days, was already having some ripple effects on the company’s shipments globally. In Taiwan, shipping estimates show that Huawei’s smartphone sales have started to decline after the announcement by Google and other US companies who are key players in the smartphone industry that their services are no longer available to Huawei.
Sources at local retail channels disclosed that Huawei was able to ship an estimated 50,000 smartphones in the tiny island in May. This accounts for an 8.6% share in terms of unit shipments and enables Huawei to retain its fourth spot in the domestic market. Huawei ranks behind Apple (24.8%) in the first position, Samsung in second (23.7%) and Oppo at the third spot (10.8%).
However, Huawei’s shipment value dropped to fourth from third with a 6% share, trailing Apple (52.7%), Samsung (19.7%) and Oppo (6.4%). The sources speculate that Huawei’s smartphone sales are likely to drop by 60-80% on month in June, with its ranking in unit shipments to tumble by 4-5 notches. With Trump’s latest announcement, it is left to be seen how the market will react. We expect sales of Huawei’s phones to rebound but there may still be some uncertainty whether Trump may decide to wield the big stick again.
While some phone companies closed shop last year, there were also some few new players. One of the latter is Black Shark, a phone company that specializes in making smartphones for gamers. Since its launch a year ago, the Xiaomi-backed company already has three phones under its belt with the latest being the Black Shark 2. However, we may be getting a fourth very soon.
A new Black Shark device with model number DLT-A0 has recently been certified by China’s communication agency.
The certificate didn’t reveal much but it did say the phone supports 27W (9V 3A, 12V 2.25A, 20V 1.35A) fast charging. The Black Shark 2 also supports 27W fast charging just like the Xiaomi Mi 9.
While there is still a lot we do not know about this new Black Shark phone, we believe it will probably be a refresh to the Black Shark 2 just as the Black Shark Helo is to the original Black Shark phone.
Black Shark 2
The Black Shark 2 has a 6.39-inch FHD+ AMOLED screen, a Snapdragon 855 processor, up to 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. It has 48MP +12MP dual rear cameras, a 20MP selfie camera, and packs a 4000mAh battery.
The new Black Shark phone may come with triple rear cameras as we have seen in some patents filed by the manufacturer. It may also have a notch (water-drop or wide) as the same patents have shown. Black Shark said its future phones will bring back the audio jack that was last seen on the original Black Shark gaming smartphone, so this new phone should have one too.
Xiaomi will launch the Redmi 7A any moment from now in India. The company’s India arm is already teasing the launch of the smartphone. Xiaomi India head Manu Kuma Jain has been sharing several promotional tweets of the Redmi 7A India debut and the promo materials contain several key data about the Redmi A series that we are just getting to know for the first time.
The Redmi A series began with the Redmi 4A which was first launched in China in November 2016. Xiaomi then announced the budget device for the Indian market in March 2017. Since then, the Redmi 5A and 6A have been launched and according to IDC, the series have gross over 23.6 million units in sales as at April 2019. As a comparison, Xiaomi drew our attention to the fact that the figure is the same as Australia’s population based on the country’s 2014 census.
Mr Jain also cited IDC’s monthly smartphone tracker for April 2019 to press home the point that the Redmi A series has been a very popular one. The report revealed that the Redmi 5A and Redmi 6A both control a 48% market share in the $75 to $100 price segment. That is almost half of the market share in that price segment.
Now the Redmi 7A is also on its way, we expect the device to perform even better than its predecessors. The Redmi 7A doesn’t even look like a budget phone and Xiaomi has hinted that the India version will even have a new feature.
Samsung has teamed up with leading design magazine, Deezen to launch the Samsung Mobile Design Competition. The competition entails contestants submitting designs for new accessories for Galaxy smartphones and tablets. A total of $40,000 will be won by the top contestants in each category.
This is the second edition of this competition. The first one was held two years ago with designers required to submit designs for new QLED TV stands. This year’s edition is in two categories focusing on hardware and software. The two categories are labelled Next Mobile + and Next Mobile Wallpaper.
The Next Mobile + category demands that interested contestants submit accessory designs for Galaxy smartphones, tablets and wearables. The accessories aren’t restricted to any gadget. It could be smartphone cases, tablet covers, watch straps or cases for earbuds. The major thing is that the designs should enhance the device and also provide value for the user. Contestants are free to design any kind of accessory that they want for Galaxy devices. Samsung will be particularly interested in those that interact digitally with its devices to provide enhanced functionality.
The Samsung Next Mobile Wallpaper Paradigm, on the other hand, focuses on the design of wallpapers. The specification is that the wallpapers should be interactive and contextually aware so that they can provide useful information as well.
The competition is open to professional designers and design students. Entries close on August 5 after which selection of the top five in each category will be done. The top five finalists will be flown to London to present their ideas in front of a jury which will include Samsung executives and Dezeen editor-in-chief Marcus Fairs. The jury will then choose the top three winners in each category who will get $10,000, $5000, and $3,000 respectively. The fourth and fifth-placed entrants in both categories will get $1,000 each. The top three winners will be hosted at the Samsung Developer Conference where the prizes will be presented.
If you think you’ve got what it takes to enter this competition, you can enter via the source link below.
Taiwanese tech giant ASUS took the path of launching the flip camera-packing Zenfone 6Z as ASUS 6Z in India. This was as a result of a court ruling that barred the company from launching any phone in India with the “Zenfone” moniker. Thus, the device was eventually announced in India on June 26 even though the launch was initially scheduled for June 19.
The ASUS 6Z came in three regular models; 6GB+64GB, 6GB+128GB, 8GB+256GB versions. The base variant has been on sale exclusively on Flipkart with a price tag of INR 31,999 ($460). The higher variants are now set to go on sale in India from July 1. As for the pricing, the 6GB+128GB variant is priced at INR 34,999 ($505) while the 8GB+256GB variant will retail for INR 39,999 ($580).
Considering the sleek design and powerful specs lineup which the 6Z brings to the table, these prices are just fair. As a remider the ASUS 6Z features a 6.4-inch IPS LCD notch-less display that carries support for full HD+ screen resolution and is protected by Gorilla Glass 6 on top. Under the hood, the device is powered by the Snapdragon 855 octa-core chipset. Despite the robust storage options available, the Zenfone 6/ASUS 6Z also has a microSD card slot allowing users to further expand the phone’s storage capacity up to 256GB.
Perhaps, the most spectacular feature is the flip camera design which the phone adopts. With the design, the dual rear cameras also double as the selfie shooters. Specs wise, the main camera is a 48MP Sony IMX586 primary sensor with f/1.79 aperture, teaming up with a 13MP ultra-wide angle sensor with a 125-degree field of view. The camera module also includes laser autofocus and dual-LED flash. The phone also packs a massive 5,000mAh battery with support for 18W fast charging as well as 10W reverse charging.
Samsung was recently tipped to be working on a new Galaxy Watch 2 model codenamed Renaissance. The tech giant was also rumoured to be working on the Galaxy Watch Active 2 and pictures of the wearable device have leaked by SamMobile.
The Galaxy Watch Active was launched in February this year and barely four months later, a second-gen model is already in the works. From the leaked pictures, the Galaxy Watch Active 2 will have a similar design with the Galaxy Watch Active.
There will be a few differences, though. One such change in design is that the home/power button is round while the back button has a rectangular shape. The home/power button also has a red circular assent which may just be a design element. The rear aspect of the smartwatch also has a fresh new look, with a circular rim around the heart rate sensor.
In addition, the Watch Active 2 has a microphone hole between the home and back keys while there are speaker grills on the other side. The watch will also have an LTE variant as well as a Wi-Fi variant. The LTE version will feature a 340mAh battery inside while the Wi-Fi model will have a smaller 237mAh battery. The software should also get some refresh as it will arrive with a newer One UI. The current version is the 1.0 but the Watch Active 2 will come with version 1.5.

The Galaxy A50 is one of the new phones that launched this year following Samsung‘s revamp of the A-series line. A new update is rolling out to the phone that brings some interesting features.
The update comes as version A505FDDU2ASF2 and is a little over 400MB in size. The changelog actually only says the Security Patch has been updated to June 2019 and that the stability of Knox Guard has been improved. However, those who have updated their devices say there is more.
First, the update brings Night Mode to the camera app, allowing you to take better photos in low-light conditions. It also brings Super Slo-Mo video recording. Another feature is the ability to scan QR codes right from inside the camera app.
According to someone who has installed the update, you have to reset the camera settings to get these new features.
[envira-gallery id=”261718″]

The A50 comes with 4GB/6GB of RAM and 64GB/128GB of storage. It packs a 25MP selfie camera and 25MP + 8MP + 5MP triple cameras on the back. It also has a 4000mAh battery.

Earlier this month, Xiaomi announced that it would end MIUI Global beta program by July. As we step into the month of July, steps are already in place to still push Global ROM to MIUI users but this time, it will be Stable ROM directly. However, the company has announced that it is recruiting closed beta testers of the MIUI Global stable ROM for some specific models. The models include the flagship Pocophone F1 and Mi 6 as well as the Redmi 6 and Redmi 6A.
Xiaomi may have decided to thread this path due to the fact that too many users were consciously or through actions of third-party resellers using beta builds on a daily basis. Thus, only the MIUI Stable ROM will be available to the generality of MIUI users. However, to ensure that only a more fluent and bug-free ROM is available to users, the company has decided to subject the Stable ROM to scrutiny by a mass of committed beta testers to iron-out issues. Hence, this closed beta recruitment. In fact, there are even more rules to follow in this closed beta circle than the public one, since you are actually expected to contribute with feedback.
Interested MIUI users can apply via the source link regardless of your region. he recruitment will close on July 7. Some of the rules and requirements include a good command of English, an unlocked bootloader, the latest version of MIUI Stable on the phone and familiarity with the QQ messenger.
Just three months after the debut of the first commercial 5G network, there are already several 5G smartphones on the market, and after the initial availability in Asia, they even hitten Europe and the U.S. The last 5G phones announced is the Lenovo Z6 Pro 5G Edition: we still do not know anything about its availability, neither about its listing price. But these details will be revealed soon as Lenovo needs to compete with the concurrency as soon as possible, given the fast diffusion of 5G networks. Should you wait for the Z6 Pro 5G or there are better devices already available? After publishing a comparison between Lenovo Z6 Pro 5G Edition, OnePlus 7 Pro and Xiaomi Mi Mix 3, here we compared it with the other remaining 5G smartphones released from Chinese manufacturers: Oppo Reno 5G and Huawei Mate 20 X 5G.

Design
Are you looking for the most original, innovative and beautiful design? Go for the Oppo Reno 5G without thinking twice. Thanks to its shark fin pop-up camera with a motorized slider, it reaches almost 100 percent of screen-to-body ratio without needing a notch. Further, it has a very beautiful glass back. In my opinion, the second place goes to Lenovo Z6 Pro 5G Edition due to its amazing transparent back which allows the user to see internal components from the outside. I do not like the Huawei Mate 20 X 5G so much when it comes to the aesthetics, but it is dust and splash resistant.
Display
If you are a productivity user or you want to use your phone to read and watch videos with the most comfortable experience, go for the Huawei Mate 20 X 5G. It is one of the biggest phablets with its diagonal of 7.2 inches, and it even has an awesome display quality thanks to its high color gamut and the HDR10 technology. Unfortunately, it does not come with a Quad HD resolution, but so is with its rivals. Right after, in the second place, there is Lenovo Z6 Pro 5G Edition which comes with similar color reproduction, but it has a smaller display. It is suitable for you if you do not need a huge phablet that you can not keep in a pocket during extreme activities.
Hardware/Software
Discard the Huawei Mate 20 X 5G if you want the fastest and smoothest phone: go for the Lenovo Z6 Pro 5G Edition and make sure to choose the most expensive memory configuration if you want the highest performance. This handset is equipped with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 512 GB of internal storage which you can furtherly expand with a micro SD. If you do not like the Mate 20 X 5G but you still want high performance, Oppo Reno 5G is the second choice with its Snapdragon 855 and 8 GB of RAM. Huawei Mate 20 X 5G loses the comparison because of its lower-end Kirin 980 SoC, less internal storage and less RAM (just 6 GB). But the Huawei Mate 20 X 5G has a more advanced 5G modem, so it can reach higher speed under 5G networks.
Camera
Very hard fight here, especially between Huawei Mate 20 X 5G and Oppo Reno 5G. Both feature optical stabilization and optical zoom up to 5x, and they can shoot amazing photos even in low light conditions thanks to their bright sensors. We still had no chance to test all of these handsets, so you have to wait for a definitive opinion.
Battery
As it mounts a huge 4200 mAh battery and very efficient components, Huawei Mate 20 X is one of the flagships with the longest battery life. It wins the battery life comparison and it has even the fastest charging technology.
Price
Huawei Mate 20 X 5G is priced €1000/$1140, Oppo Reno 5G costs about €880/$1000, while the price of the Lenovo Z5 6 Pro 5G is still unknown. There is not a clear winner in this comparison and it mostly depend on the user’s needs. Huawei Mate 20 X 5G is better at display and battery life, as well as 5G performance, so it is my favorite one. Oppo Reno 5G is just marginally different, it offers better performance but a smaller and less impressive display; on the other hand, it has a more innovative design. Lenovo Z6 Pro 5G has the best performance and even a great display, but it is smaller. It is essentially a draw and it is up to you to make the final decision. Which one would you pick?
