In a few months, Xiaomi should follow up its Mi A2 and Mi A2 Lite Android One phones with successors. The phones are expected to arrive as the Mi A3 and Mi A3 Lite, and a new report has revealed they will be coming with an in-display fingerprint scanner.

Xiaomi-Mi-A2-and-Mi-A2-Lite — Mi A2 and Mi A2 Lite

The folks at XDA-Developers who are known for digging up details about upcoming phones from firmware files and similar sources said they found evidence of three new devices that Xiaomi is currently hardware testing. The devices are codenamed “pyxis”, “bamboo_sprout”, and “cosmos_sprout”. The last two are confirmed to be Android One phones as all Android One devices have “_sprout” in their codenames.

It is said that the three phones are being tested with “fod” which is short for fingerprint-on-display a.k.a in-display fingerprint scanners. The three phones may also have 32MP front-facing cameras with 4-in-1 pixel binning as the hardware test reveals the phones have an image output resolution of 32MP (6560 x 4928) for the front-facing camera.

The rest of the specs are still unknown but it is suggested that “pyxis” might be the MIUI version of either “bamboo_sprout” or “cosmos_sprout”. The phones will most likely be powered by different processors. The Mi A2 has a Snapdragon 660 processor and there are lots of chipsets to choose for its successor. There is the Snapdragon 670, the Snapdragon 675, the Snapdragon 710, and the Snapdragon 712 which debuted on the Mi 9 SE.

The Mi A3 Lite also has a fair number of processors to choose from such as the Snapdragon 632, Snapdragon 636, or even the Snapdragon 660. All three phones will be available in different RAM and storage configurations and should have at least dual rear cameras. They should also run Android Pie out of the box.

Following the launch of the Vivo X27 and Vivo X27 Pro, Vivo‘s next smartphones might be entry-level ones with cheaper price tags. Two phones listed as the Vivo 1901 and Vivo 1902 were spotted on Geekbench and they might be new members of Vivo’s V-series and or Y-series.

[envira-gallery id=”242231″]

The Vivo 1901 runs Android 9 pie and has 2GB of RAM. It is powered by MediaTek’s MT6762V/CA. The device scored 764 points in the single-core test and 2321 points in the multi-core test. We believe this is the Helio A22 and not the Helio P22 as the scores are lower than those of other phones with the Helio P22 processor like the Redmi 6 or the Nokia 3.1 Plus. However, the scores match those of the Helio A22-powered Redmi 6A.

The Vivo 1902, on the other hand, is powered by the MT6765V/CB which is also known as the Helio P35 processor. It scored 815 points in the single-core test and 2472 points in the multi-core test. Like the Vivo 1901 above, it also runs Android 9 Pie and has 2GB of RAM.

At the ongoing Game Developers Conference (GDC 2019), one of the products announced is from VR glass manufacturer Oculus. The company has unveiled a new-generation Rift headset called the Oculus Rift S. The new headset presents with several new features and improvements that gives users a more comfortable and safer VR gaming experience.

According to Oculus, it collaborated with Lenovo to refine the Rift S’ hardware using with feedback from the Lenovo Legion gaming community. Thus, the Rift S is co-designed by Lenovo and it comes with better weight distribution. The headset also comes with a single cable which makes it easier to manage and avoid cable clutter.

The new Oculus Rift S comes with OLED displays with higher resolution 2560×1440 pixels screens. While the displays have been updated in these two areas, the refresh rate drops from 90Hz to 80Hz, which won’t make a significant difference to the overall playing experience. The Rift S comes with Oculus Insight just like the Oculus Quest which was launched a couple of months back. Oculus Insight has the capability to actively track the space around the user so he or she doesn’t bump into anything. The gadget also comes with Passthrough+, which is a new feature on the Oculus Rift S that acts as a passthrough to see the outside world.

OPPO’s 5G smartphone has now received CE certification

Mar 21, 2019

OPPO did reveal that it aspires to become the first Chinese OEM to release a 5G phone. Although Xiaomi has launched the Mi Mix 3 5G, the phone is yet to go on sale. So OPPO may well become the first to sell its 5G phone in China. There is no date for the launch yet but OPPO has just announced that its first 5G smartphone has passed the 5G CE test of the international testing service agency, Sporton International Inc. Sporton is a Taiwan-based company principally engaged in the provision of testing and certification services for wireless communications and mobile communications products. The device also obtained the 5G CE certificate issued by German agency CTC advanced.

OPPO’s first CTC-certified 5G mobile phone has the advantages of multi-frequency, multi-mode and multi-combination. The phone equally supports more combinations such as 5G n78 frequency band, wider frequency band, and can completely cover 2G, 3G, 4G networks, and is suitable for a wider range of countries and regions. The acquisition of the CE certification means that the OPPO 5G mobile phone has fully met the standards set by the European Union (EU) including wireless, security, electromagnetic compatibility, health, etc. That means the phone has met the necessary conditions for entering the European market. Thus, OPPO can conveniently commercialize the product when it is launched in Europe.

According to OPPO’s vice president and overseas business unit head, Wu Qian, the company is fully prepared for the early realization of 5G mobile phone commercialization. OPPO had begun its 5G research and development as far back as three years ago, in close cooperation with Qualcomm. The company’s CEO Tony Chen had disclosed that the BBK subsidiary isn’t likely going to be the first to adopt the 5G network standard but will be among the first two phone makers to manufacture 5G products. The upcoming OPPO Reno scheduled to launch in April this year is speculated to likely have a 5G version.

Redmi Y3 gets Wi-Fi certification, will come with Android Pie

Mar 21, 2019

Last year, Xiaomi announced a new series for the Redmi line. The Redmi S2 which was announced in May was the first of the series. The phone later launched in India as the Redmi Y2. A new report has revealed that the phone will be getting a new successor which will launch as the Redmi Y3.

The Redmi Y3 was seen on the website of the WI-Fi Alliance after receiving its Wi-Fi certification last week. The certification reveals the phone’s model number as M1810F6G. It will run Android 9 Pie out of the box and support 2.4GHz Wi-Fi.

The rest of the specs of the phone are still unknown. The Redmi Y2 is powered by a Snapdragon 625 processor but we don’t think upgrading to the Snapdragon 632 for the Redmi Y3 will be a smart move so it doesn’t hurt the sales of the Redmi 7 unless there is no plan to launch the Redmi 7 in India.

Redmi Go vs Nokia 1 Plus vs Asus Zenfone Live L1: Specs Comparison

Mar 21, 2019

Android Go smartphones are the best way to get a decent device for a few bucks. Thanks to this Lite version of Google’s operating system, even device with outdated or extremely low-end hardware can run smooth enough to handle all the base tasks in a sufficient way. That is why it was very expectable that the new Redmi Go would have made a lot of success once in the market. But is it really the best Android Go alternative you can get in its price range or there are better ones? We will try to let you find out by comparing it with two recent Android Go devices which deserve attention: the Nokia 1 Plus by HMD Global and the Asus Zenfone Live L1.

Redmi Go vs Nokia 1 Plus vs Asus Zenfone Live L1

	Xiaomi Redmi Go	Nokia 1 Plus	Asus Zenfone Live L1
DIMENSIONS AND WEIGHT	140.4 x 70.1 x 8.4 mm, 137 grams	145 x 70.4 x 8.6 mm	147.3 x 71.8 x 8.2 mm, 140 grams

ADDITIONAL FEATURES	Dual SIM slot	Hybrid Dual SIM slot	Dual SIM slot

Design

Cheap materials are very common on affordable smartphones sold for less than €100, and these devices are not an exception. All of them come with a plastic body, with Xiaomi Redmi Go showing very thick bezels around the display due to the 16:9 aspect ratio. In terms of aesthetics, Nokia 1 Plus and Asus Zenfone Live L1 are definitely better and I would personally go for the former because it is slightly more compact than its Taiwanese rival. You can get more color choices with the latter, so make sure to check them out before deciding.

Display

If you are looking for the most detailed and satisfying display, then you should exclude the Nokia 1 Plus immediately due to its below-HD resolution. Fortunately, both Xiaomi Redmi Go and Asus Zenfone come with an HD display, but Redmi Go has an outdated 16:9 panel, while Asus Zenfone Live L1 comes with a taller 18:9 display which boasts narrower bezels. Further, the display is wider. That is why Asus Zenfone Live L1 wins the display comparison.

Specs

Asus Zenfone Live L1 is the most powerful phone here due to its higher-end memory configurations. It comes with up to 2 GB of RAM while Xiaomi Redmi Go and Nokia 1 Plus stop at just 1 GB. The internal storage goes up to 32 GB (furtherly expandable with a micro SD), while you get max 16 GB for the Nokia 1 Plus and just 8 GB for Xiaomi Redmi Go. Note that Nokia 1 Plus is the only one based on Android Pie, so it should come with better software optimization. However, its lower-end chipset and its low amount of RAM do not push it at the same level as the Zenfone Live L1. Nokia 1 Plus has better Wi-Fi connectivity as well as a more advanced Bluetooth version.

Camera

Again, the victory goes to the Asus Zenfone Live L1. It has a rear camera with a way higher resolution and it is able to record videos in 1080p at 30 fps. Further, it has a front-facing LED flash, unlike its rivals. At the second place, we put the Xiaomi Redmi Go with its 8 MP rear snapper, nothing special but it clicks decent shots when light conditions are good. Nokia 1 Plus is a bit disappointing, especially on the video side as it can only record in 720p with its 8 MP rear camera.

Battery

Thanks to the smaller display, a very efficient SoC and a pretty nice 3000 mAh battery, Xiaomi Redmi Go provides a long battery life and it wins the battery comparison, despite it is not based on Android Pie. The second place goes to the Asus Zenfone Live L1 but not in every scenario.

Price

People mainly choose these handsets because of their incredibly affordable price. You can grab a unit of the Xiaomi Redmi Go for just €80/$90, Nokia 1 Plus costs about €90/$102 and Asus Zenfone Live L1’s price is about €100/$114 for the base variant with 2 GB RAM and 16 GB of storage. I personally think that despite its rivals are more recent, Asus Zenfone Live L1 is the best device in this comparison due to its better camera department and higher-end hardware, as well as its long-lasting battery.

New Apple AirPods boasts new features; doesn’t come in black and no USB type-C

Mar 21, 2019

After months of waiting, Apple finally unveiled the second generation AirPods. The new wireless earbuds bring new features but the design remains unchanged.

The new AirPods now have Bluetooth 5.0 which is better when it comes to connectivity and power consumption. It also features a new chipset – the H1 chip, which replaces the W1 chip in the first gen model.

The new H1 headphone chip is faster and provides a more stable wireless connection according to Apple. It also makes switching between devices 2x faster and provides up to 30% lower latency when playing games. The chipset also powers the tech which lets you activate Siri with just your voice, just say “Hey Siri” followed by your command.

The second-gen AirPods comes with a regular charging case and retails for $159 but Apple also released a Qi wireless charging case that sells for $79 and is backward-compatible with the first-gen AirPods. You can also choose to buy the new AirPods with a wireless charging case for $199. Both cases charge via a lightning connector.

Battery life is also better on the new AirPods. You get up to 5 hours of listening time on a single charge and a 15-minute charge can provide up to 3 hours of talking. With the charging case, you get more than 24 hours of battery life. The new AirPods retains all the tricks of its predecessor. It will automatically pause playback when you pull them out of your ears and also knows when you are talking so as to filter out external noise.

Unfortunately, Apple is sticking to just white for the new AirPods too.

Xiaomi uploads the Redmi Go and Redmi Note 7 Kernel Source codes on GitHub

Xiaomi recently made it impossible or users of MIUI China ROM to flash their phones with the Global ROM. This doesn’t stop users for flashing their MIUI ROMs in order to install third-party ROM that delivers pure Android, for those in the global market. In order to make it easy to flash the ROM Xiaomi often releases the kernel source codes of its new models soon after they become official. The Chinese tech giant has been consistent in that regard and now, the kernel sources of the Redmi Go and Redmi Note 7 has been released. The kernel sources for the Redmi Note 7 (India) codenamed Lavender and the Redmi Go device codenamed Tiare has been uploaded to GitHub.

The Redmi Note 7 was launched in India recently alongside the Redmi Note 7 Pro. The Redmi Go was announced only a couple of days back in India. The models all offer decent hardware at affordable prices. The Redmi Note 7 (India) is only different from the China version in the camera aspect. It has a 12MP sensor as its main camera instead of the 48MP sensor on the China version.

The released kernel source codes for these models will afford developers the opportunity to work on stuff like porting TWRP custom recovery for these devices. With a custom recovery, users will be able to flash different ROMs on their devices. Since developers are already building a custom TWRP recovery for the Redmi Note 7, this should help with a stable version of the custom recovery. The Redmi Note 7 Pro Kernel source is yet to be released but we expect that to be done soon.

Mar 21, 2019

The Meizu 16s is an upcoming flagship phone from Meizu scheduled for release soon. With respect to its design, the phone won’t be too different from its predecessor. It won’t have a notch nor will it adopt the new punch hole display style. Meizu says the bezels are even slimmer and this live image that just leaked confirms that.

The display of the Meizu 16s in the image above is flat and has curved corners. The phone is wide and one-handed use might not be comfortable without you risking the phone slipping out of your palm. The position of the front camera hasn’t changed and we believe there is a fingerprint scanner under the AMOLED screen. The lower bezel is indeed thinner by a few millimeters, 16 millimeters to be exact according to Meizu.

Various Motorola smartphones are due for launch in the upcoming few months. Devices such as Moto Z4 Play, Moto Z4, G7, G7 Plus and others are all in the pipeline and would soon launch in Q2 2019. They are also preparing for another mid-range device carrying Samsung processor and punch-hole display. Today, Moto Z4 design surfaced via its first-ever render leak, thanks to 91mobiles for letting us sneak into its familiar design.

As according to these high-quality press renders, the Moto Z4 carries same subtle notch, Moto Mods support and a dew drop display. Unlike Samsung Galaxy S10, Motorola is expected to introduce the same waterdrop-notch on the high-end Moto Z4. The U-shaped design remains Motorola’s best choice for its premium range of smartphones.

Moreover, Moto Z4 bezels on the top and bottom sides have reduced marginally, eliminating room for a “motorola” logo on the front side, and a higher screen-to-body is also on the cards. As predicted, its backside also looks familiar to its predecessors with the same 16 pins Moto Mod connector system. Motorola and Verizon brandings are present on the rear side along with a dual rear camera module and an LED flash.

Apart from design, Moto Z4 will carry Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 chipset for improved performance. Other device specifications are kept under the wraps, but according to reports, it will bring some special camera features.

We have just five days before the launch of the Huawei P30 and Huawei P30 Pro but nothing seems to be hidden anymore about the phones. We already know their specs, how much they will sell for (at least in Europe), and we have seen how impressive the cameras perform. What we have today are HD renders of both phones for you to drool over.

The images which were shared by Evan Blass (@evleaks) show the Huawei P30 and Huawei P30 Pro in all the colors they will be available in. Some of the photos even confirm the free gifts which Huawei will ship with the phones which includes the Sonos One speaker and Huawei’s own wireless charger. Judging from the images, it appears only the P30 Pro gets a wireless charger.

The P30 Pro and P30 do not differ only with respect to the number of cameras. If you take a close look at both, you will see the Pro appears to have a thinner top bezel compared to the non-Pro model. It also has a curved display and no slit in the frame for the speaker. There are reports it will emit sound via its OLED screen just like the LG G8 ThinQ.

After Amazon refreshed its Kindle Paperwhite lineup in October last year, the e-commerce giant has now launched a new model in its entry-level e-book reader lineup. Amazon has launched an “all-new” Kindle, a tenth-generation model, which comes with a built-in light.

With the addition of a built-in adjustable front light, the new 2019 edition of the Kindle is the cheapest e-book reader in the family to support the night-friendly feature. Compared to the 5 LEDs on the Kindle Paperwhite, this one comes with 4 LEDs.

It comes with a 6-inch touch screen display offering 800 x 600 pixels screen resolution and 167 PPI pixel density. It has 4 GB of internal storage that can hold thousands of books. For connectivity, the device supports Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n.

In terms of battery life, the new Kindle is claimed to offer around 4 weeks of battery life by the company — same as the entry-level Kindle that was launched in 2016. Further, the company says that the new Kindle has an updated electronic ink technology for better contrast and now uses capacitive touch to prevent accidental swipes.

The device also comes with a refreshed design, measuring 160 x 113 x 8.7 mm. This makes it slightly thinner and compact compared the previous-generation entry-level Kindle. It weighs 174 grams, so it’s easy to hold in one hand even for long reading sessions.

The all-new Amazon Kindle comes in two color options — Black and White. It is priced at $89.99 with “special offers” and $109.99 without special offers in the US. In India, the device is priced at Rs. 7,999 (approximately $117). It is now available for pre-order at Amazon and will start shipping from 10th April.
