Sony Xperia 20 renders leak its design from all angles

One of the software features the new OnePlus 7 series brings is Zen Mode. This is a feature designed to get you to not use your phone for 20 minutes for anything else other than for calls and taking pictures. When activated, you can’t turn it off until the timer ends.

OnePlus disclosed to Android Authority that the feature will be coming to the OnePlus 6 and OnePlus 6T via an update in the future. That should be exciting news for those who own either of the two devices and have been looking for ways to reduce how long they stare at their phone’s display.

That’s the good news. The bad news is the OnePlus 7 series’ Nightscape 2.0 will not be coming to last year’s flagships. Nightscape 2.0 improves upon the night mode feature which debuted last year. OnePlus says the reason why both phones won’t have the updated version is based on a hardware limitation – (probably the primary rear camera).

There are other software features such as Fnatic Mode (coming to the OnePlus 7 series via an OTA update) and a built-in screen recorder but we haven’t heard anything about these features coming to the older models.

Corning brings Gorilla Glass-like protection for tablets, notebooks and TVs with the Astra Glass

Corning is well known for its Gorilla Glass protection which protects the displays of many smartphones worldwide. The US company is showcasing its latest product for high-performance tablets, notebooks and even televisions at the ongoing Display Week in San Jose, California. The product is named Astra Glass. Corning Gorilla Glass 6

Even though tablets, notebooks and laptops don’t fall down as often as a smartphone due to their large form factors and the fact that we don’t move the smart TV and laptop as often as we carry the smartphone, there are some chances that their display could get damaged. For instance, a child may throw a lawn tennis ball or any other toy on the television screen. Also, you may have your laptop in your bag and then it hits a hard surface with the impact on the display and similar situations. Thus, the Astra Glass designed for devices that are larger than smartphones comes in handy. The glass protector is precisely engineered to retain the higher pixel density of high-performance displays. The design ensures the displays on future tablets, laptops, and 8K TVs remain bright, fast and deliver life-like images.

However, we may likely not find the Astra Glass on budget or mid-range devices as Corning is reportedly positioning it as its most-premium protective glass for devices with larger displays. So any tablet, notebook or television with Astra Glass will likely be pretty expensive. Corning’s business director, Han Yim tips that the Astra Glass will provide manufacturers with “low total pitch variation, low total thickness variation, and low sag,” when it comes to high-end displays.

Yesterday, Motorola held a launch event to announce the Motorola One Vision phone. The Chinese wing of the company has taken to Weibo to confirm that it will be launching a new phone called Motorola P50 in China in June. It appears that the Motorola One Vision could be releasing in China as Motorola P50 in June.

Last year, Motorola had released Android One smartphones such as Motorola One Play and One Power. Both phones were made available in China as Motorola P30 Play and P30 Power. Hence, it is very likely that the recently announced One Vision Android One phone could be heading to China as P-series phone. As the teaser image reveals, the company will be launching the next P-series phone as Motorola P50, and not as P40 as recent rumors had claimed.

The Motorola P50 smartphone features a punch-hole display. The rear side of the phone is not entirely visible and only the logo of the company can be seen. However, it could be housing a vertically arranged dual camera setup at its top-left corner. The front and rear design of the phone resembles with the Motorola One Vision. If the One Vision really arrives in China as Motorola P50, it will be loaded with ZUI based Android 9 Pie OS. The company is expected to confirm on its exact launch date in the coming weeks.

Motorola One Vision Specifications and Price

The Motorola One Vision Android One runs on the stock edition of Android 9 Pie. It features an attractive 21:9 aspect ratio supporting IPS LCD display of 6.3 inches. The smartphone is fueled by Samsung-made Exynos 9609 chipset. The SoC is supported by 4 GB of RAM. It comes with a native storage of 128 GB.

Redmi K20 official case confirms key specs; photos of retail box and merchandise released too

May 16, 2019

The Redmi K20 is yet to get a release date but Redmi keeps dropping more details. The official Weibo account has released images of the phone’s retail box, official case, and merchandise. The case, in particular, confirms some key details.

The Redmi K20’s retail box will have a dual color design. The lid is black while the main box itself is purple. Underneath the box is an image of the Redmi K20 demon king.

There is also a photo of the phone’s official case. It is purple just like the box and also has an image of the demon king. There is a long cutout in the middle for the cameras. This singular design nullifies all the renders we have seen which show the phone’s cameras are on the left side.

[envira-gallery id=”253677″]

The Redmi K20 is expected to have a triple camera setup. The length of the cutout is just the right length for three cameras and an LED flash which means there is no rear-mounted fingerprint scanner. The case doesn’t have a cut-out for a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, therefore the Redmi K20 has an in-display fingerprint scanner and hence, an OLED display. The case also shows the phone’s power and volume buttons are on the right side of the frame.

Redmi also shared a photo of branded t-shirts which it might give away to lucky fans.

Honor also confirmed the presence of 48 MP AI clarity mode for impressive low-light photography. The large aperture will help the camera to capture more light even though if it is dark. It will help to reduce noise and improve the quality of photos taken in the low-light environment. Zhao Ming revealed the company has already sent Honor 20 Pro to DxOMark for rating, and they are keen to know the scores soon.

Honor 20 Pro rumored specifications

Honor 20 Pro will have a 6.26-inch IPS punch-hole display with the resolution of 2340 x 1080 and a pixel density of 412. It will be powered by Kirin 980 SoC coupled with 6GB RAM and 128 GB of internal storage.

ASUS Zenfone 6 live photos surfaces hours before launch

May 16, 2019

ASUS’ Zenfone 6 will be officially unveiled later today. But just hours before its launch, a review video was posted on the internet. The said video has been taken down now but someone was able to take screenshots of the flagship killer.

Press renders of the phone were leaked yesterday and they showed the Zenfone 6 will have a notch-less and hole-less display. These live images confirm the design. Save for the lower bezel, the side and top bezels are really thin. The display has curved corners but we are not sure if it is LCD or AMOLED.

Based on the icons on the home screen, the Zenfone 6 seems to be running stock Android, although there is ASUS’ Gallery app and not Google Photos. However, it seems there are fewer bloatware apps. The Zenfone 5Z came with Instagram, Messenger, and Facebook pre-installed but we can’t see those on the home screen.

On the back, the ASUS Zenfone 6 has dual rear cameras – a 48MP Sony IMX586 primary camera and a 13MP secondary sensor. There is a dual LED flash between the two cameras. These sensors are motorized and they lift up to double as the front-facing cameras. We bet ASUS will assure us they have tested the module several hundred thousand times so we shouldn’t worry about durability.

[envira-gallery id=”253647″]

There is a fingerprint scanner which seems pretty small is positioned below the cameras. The back of the phone is covered in glass and there is the manufacturer’s branding along with some other text written in blue font in the middle. The Zenfone 6 has a metal frame with antenna lines along the sides.

The images show the Zenfone 6 is not a slim phone. If you have been following news of the device in the past couple of days, then you know that is expected since it packs a massive 5000mAh battery.

Popular drone manufacturer DJI has ventured into the rugged action camera industry with its latest device dubbed DJI Osmo Action. This is the company’s first action camera and it comes as a direct rival to GoPro’s Hero 7 Black.

In terms of specs, the DJI Osmo Action matches GoPro’s Hero 7 and even offers some new features that aren’t found on the Hero such as a front-facing selfie screen which allows you to see your face on the camera before shooting a selfie. The camera also comes with a screwable lens cover. The Action has ND filters for bright, sunny days, and they won’t fall off when you jump in the water, thanks to the screw-on mounting system.

Lenovo Z6 Youth Edition could be powered by Snapdragon 730 chipset

May 16, 2019

Lenovo recently launched its flagship smartphone — Lenovo Z6 Pro and is now gearing up to launch a new watered-down version of the same device, dubbed Lenovo Z6 Youth Edition. The phone is expected to launch on 22nd May.

Now, Lenovo Group’s Vice President for the Chinese region has announced through Weibo that the company will launch a smartphone powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset, which is not yet available in the market.

As the Z6 Youth Edition is the upcoming smartphone, it seems that the phone could come powered by the recently launched Snapdragon 730 or Snapdragon 730G chipset. While the Samsung Galaxy A80 is powered by the SD730 SoC, the phone is yet to go on sale.

The Snapdragon 730 (SM7150-AA) and Snapdragon 730G (SM7150-AB) are built using the 8nm node and are octa-core chipsets (2+6 core arrangement) with Kryo 470 CPUs clocked at 2.2GHz, coupled with Adreno 618 GPUs. Qualcomm says the two processors provide a 35% increase in performance compared to the previous generation.

They both come with the Snapdragon X15 LTE modem which the company says brings up to 800Mbps download speeds. Both these chipsets are also Wi-Fi 6 ready and come with support for Qualcomm Quick Charge 4+.

The Snapdragon 730 duo are the first 7 series processors to feature the Hexagon Tensor Accelerator. Both processors also feature the Hexagon 688 DSP which works with the GPU and CPU to complete AI tasks faster and in more power-efficient ways.

Last year, when the company announced the Lenovo Z5 Pro GT, it became the first smartphone in the world to be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 octa-core flagship chipset.

The Lenovo Z6 Youth Edition is confirmed to come with dual-frequency GPS support for accurate positioning up to 1m, which is a big deal for a device in the mid-range segment. It could be the cheapest smartphone to carry support for L1 and L5 dual frequencies for accurately tracking location.

Currently, this upcoming smartphone’s specifications are not known, but we expect to know more about the phone as the launch nears. We may have to wait for the company’s launch event on 22nd May to know for sure what’s up the company’s sleeves.

Tranya T3 Wireless Earphones Review: Comfy Earphones With Good Sound Quality

By

May 16, 2019

True Wireless Earphones are becoming more and more popular because of their easy carrying and hands-free. As earphones are wireless, manufacturers should consider how to make sure the TWS earphones will not fall out from ears. Therefore, manufacturers do everything to solve the problem. But they often ignore another problem—whether TWS earphones comfortable to wear. Several days ago, I got a pair of earphones called Tranya T3 Wireless Earphones. Let’s check out the review.

Design:

Tranya T3 Wireless Earphones adopt round design, and the overall design is similar to Xiaomi Redmi AirDots. But the solid support of Tranya T3 is bigger than Redmi AirDots. You might think Redmi AirDots would be more comfortable because of the size, and I thought so at first. However, the truth is that the Tranya T3 is more comfortable than Redmi AirDots. Although the solid support of Tranya T3 is bigger, your ears will not feel pressure when you wear them. Among the earphones I have tested, I think the most comfortable earphones is the Tranya T3 Wireless Earphones. I wear them when I do my daily work, and they never fall out. That’s good.

The earphones have a physical button to control them and an indicating light on the button. The operational approach is easy. You can press the button (left/right) to play or pause the music. Press and hold the button of the right earbud up to 2 seconds to skip forward to the next track, and press and hold the button of the left earbud up to 2 seconds to be back to the previous track. What’s more, it can control volume, wake up voice assistant (Siri), and answer/reject a call.

Tranya T3 comes with a charging box with a lid, which is small and easy to take out. In particular, the appearance design of charging box adopts two materials. The lid is made of glossy plastic, and the base is made of matte silicone. The touch feeling and texture is good, and I like it. There is a LED indicator on the charging case, the red is on while charging, and it is off when fully charged.

Performance:

The most important point for earphones is quality of sound, and I deem that the Tranya T3 Wireless Earphones perform well. However, different from the other earphones, personally, I think the auto mode shows the best performance. The Tranya T3 comes with a rich stereo sound and each note is crisp and clear, a minimum amount of distortion on the highs is scarcely heard. When I heard a ballad, they brought me into the scene, and I was immersed in. What surprised me is that the thumping sound shows good in the auto mode. In the surround stereo mode, I deem that the earbuds have distortion. And the bass mode is too powerful for me.

Overall, the Tranya T3 Wireless Earphones perform well, and I prefer the auto mode.

Battery:

The Tranya T3 Wireless Earphones have a battery capacity of 60mAh each and the charging case is fueled by 800mAh. They can be used for 6 to 8 hours with single charge, which are enough for daily use.

Conclusion:

Tranya T3 is a comfy earphones which is suitable for everyone. There are a lot of earphones at the market, but comfy earphones are rare. If you lack a pair of comfortable earphones, just pick it from Tranya official site.

Redmi’s Killer Flagship K20 will feature Snapdragon 855 with an Outrageous AnTuTu Score

By

Joel Joseph

May 16, 2019

Xiaomi has gone all offensive on the new OnePlus 7 Pro flagship, posting ads teasing the coming of its own flagship killer, the Redmi K20. Now, Redmi’s General Manager, Lu Weibing has confirmed that the K20 will feature the high-end Snapdragon 855. This will be a first for Redmi since the brand has always focused on mid-range and budget processors in the past.

But that’s not all, we also have the AnTuTu score of the Redmi K20. The score revealed by Lu is actually outrageously high, even for a Snapdragon 855 powered smartphone. The K20 model, code-named Raphael, scores 458,754 in the AnTuTu benchmark. This is unusually high since most Snapdragon 855 phones score less than 400K in the same benchmark. To give you some perspective, the Mi 9, which is one of the best scoring flagships on AnTuTu scores around 370,00 on an average. That’s way less than this figure.

With Redmi all set to enter the flagship market, we can’t help but wonder where it will be placed in terms of pricing. The K20 was supposed to be the next POCO F2, but that’s apparently not going to be the case since the company is pushing ads in India (where POCO is quite popular) with the K20 tagline. So, this could be a potential replacement to a Xiaomi flagship, especially in a market like India.

RELATED: Glacier Blue Redmi K20/K20 Pro flagship seen with Lin Bin

Xiaomi’s flagships haven’t been selling so well this market so a cheaper flagship (but more expensive than POCO) could be the solution. But this also basically ends any hope for the Mi 9 series to make to India.

However, now the company is all set to launch the 48MP + 5MP camera version in the Indian market. Manu Kumar Jain, Xiaomi India MD has confirmed that the Redmi Note 7S with a 48MP camera will be launched in India on 20th May.

Since the difference between the Indian version and the Chinese version of the Redmi Note 7 was only the rear camera setup, we expect other specifications of the Redmi Note 7S to be the same as the Redmi Note 7.

The smartphone features a 6.3-inch Full-HD+ “dot notch” display with 2340 x 1080 pixels screen resolution, 19.5:9 aspect ratio, and 409ppi pixel density. Under the hood, it packs Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 660 octa-core processor, clocked at 2.2 GHz and coupled with Adreno 512 GPU.

The phone comes in two variants — 3GB RAM and 4GB RAM. The 3GB RAM model has 32GB internal storage while the 4GB RAM model comes with 64GB internal storage. There’s a microSD card slot for expanding the phone’s storage capacity up to 256GB. We are not sure about the memory variants of the Redmi Note 7S.

On the front side, the device features a 13-megapixel sensor with AI Portrait Mode, AI Smart Beauty, HDR, and AI Scene Recognition. The phone runs Android 9 Pie-based MIUI 10 operating system out-of-the-box. It is powered by a 4,000mAh battery and supports Quick Charge 4.0 fast charging technology.
