Samsung launched its all-new Galaxy M-series of smartphones earlier this year in India. Under the lineup, the company has so far launched three devices — Galaxy M10, Galaxy M20, and Galaxy M30. After launching the Galaxy M20 in India, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Ukraine, the South Korean giant has now launched the phone in Europe.
The Samsung Galaxy M20 is currently made available two countries — Italy and Spain. The smartphone, which is priced at €229, is expected to soon be available in other countries in Europe.
The smartphone comes with a 6.3-inch Full HD+ Infinity-V display with a screen resolution of1080 x 2340 pixels,19.5:9 aspect ratio, and 90 percent screen-to-body ratio. Under the hood, it is powered by the company’s own Exynos 7904 chipset, paired with Mali-G71 MP2 GPU.
The phone will come in only one variant in Europe — 4GB RAM and 64GB internal storage. Another variant which packs 3GB RAM and 32GB internal storage has not been launched in the region. The phone also comes with a microSD card slot which enables users to further expand the storage capacity up to 512GB.
There’s a fingerprint sensor on the back and the phone also supports Face Unlock feature. For imaging, the Galaxy M20 comes with a dual rear camera setup along with a 13-megapixel primary sensor that has an f/1.9 aperture and a 5-megapixel ultra-wide secondary sensor. On the front side, it comes equipped with an 8-megapixel sensor along with an f/2.0 aperture.
Connectivity options on the device include Dual 4G VoLTE, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 5, GPS + GLONASS, 3.5mm audio jack, and FM Radio. The phone runs Android 8.1 Oreo operating system out-of-the-box with Samsung Experience 9.5 UX on top and is powered by a 5,000mAh battery with fast charging support.
Huawei has received backlash with respect to the promotional posters it put out that teased the Super Zoom feature of its upcoming flagship – the P30 Pro. In what we think is a move to shift the focus away from the negative news Huawei’s CEO has shared real camera samples taken with the P30 Pro.
The pictures were taken at a concert of the British boy band, Blue. The pictures which are divided into three, compare a normal shot against a close shot and then a super close shot. The last two employs the phone’s optical zoom function.
As you can see in the images, the P30 Pro does take impressive shots. Details are sharp and color reproduction is great. The close shots are pretty sharp too and there doesn’t seem to be a loss of details. However, the super close shot is noisy but we can still make out the faces of the subject in all of them. We believe the camera will perform better under well-lit conditions or outdoors.
The smartphone landscape is ever changing. Things that were relevant a few years back, may not necessarily be important today. Xiaomi was once the king of value for money smartphones. While it still is, it no longer enjoys the kind of dominance that it did a couple of years back.
There are new players that threaten its near monopoly over affordable smartphones. And the threat comes directly from its fellow Chinese competitor, Vivo, by the way of its brand new smartphone, the Vivo iQOO.
Both OPPO and Vivo have focused on the retail market in the past couple of years. So, when Xiaomi decided to grab a chunk of the offline market, both Vivo and OPPO had to do something about it. The answer from Vivo came in the form of the Vivo iQOO, its first smartphone in the iQOO series that infiltrates Xiaomi’s home turf. Taking on the Xiaomi Mi 9 was never going to be easy, given that it offers amazing value for money. But iQOO does really well to threaten Mi 9’s position, and I dare to say that it might actually be better than the Xiaomi flagship.
Both Vivo iQOO and Xiaomi Mi 9 offer tremendous value for money. Both start at 2999 Yuan (~447) for its 6+128GB models and feature the flagship Snapdragon 855 processor inside. Both have a nearly similar display, 6.41-inch FHD+ SAMOLED on iQOO vs 6.39-inch FHD+ SAMOLED on Mi 9. Both skip a physical fingerprint sensor, in favor of a screen fingerprint sensor. In fact, both are similarly sized as well (157.69 x 75.2 x 8.52mm — Vivo iQOO vs Xiaomi Mi 9 — 157.5 x 74.67 x 7.61mm). Seeing these similarities, it might be a bit confusing for consumers to choose between the two.
Even in terms of their designs, there are a handful of similarities. For example, both the models come with a waterdrop display and a triple camera (arranged vertically) setup at the back. The camera setup on the iQOO is more flush with the back, with a slight bump. On the other hand, the Mi 9 (our hands-on here!) has a pretty significant camera bump, mainly because it’s thinner than the former. But in terms of the back design, I prefer the Mi 9 over iQOO as personally, I feel, it looks a lot more premium. On the other hand, the thing that goes in iQOO’s favor (our hands-on here!) is its textured lines under the glass and the Halo LED strip, making it stand out.
Overall, if I had to pick between Vivo iQOO vs Xiaomi Mi 9, I would go with iQOO. And it boils down to a couple of big differences between the two models.
Vivo iQOO has a significantly large battery on board, a 4000mAh capacity battery pack instead of an average 3300mAh battery on the Mi 9. Further, the 8+128GB model comes with a 44W fast charging power brick. That would top up my large battery way quicker than what’s provided with the Mi 9 — an 18W charger. Yes, I know the Mi 9 supports up to 27W fast charging, but for that, I would have to buy a supported charger separately.
On paper, Mi 9’s 48MP+12MP+16MP setup looks superior to Vivo’s 12MP+13MP+2MP. However, I have checked out the cameras of both the phones and the real-life performance has a few surprises. We will bring a detailed iQOO vs Mi 9 camera comparison in the next couple of days, but to sum it up, the iQOO has a few advantages in the camera department, especially when the lighting goes down. Mi 9 did turn out to be better in some cases, but personally, I have come to like iQOO’s camera better than the Mi 9, for reasons which I’ll explain in the camera comparison article later.
Another thing that goes in favor of the iQOO is that its screen fingerprint sensor is slightly faster than the Mi 9’s sensor. This was a surprise for me given that Xiaomi claims its sensor is quite fast.
Things like Halo LED light, Virtual buttons and Gamespace with linear motors for feedback are exciting features for a gamer. Personally, I’m not a big gamer, but these features set the iQOO apart from the Mi 9. If you are a big gamer yourself, then the iQOO definitely looks more enticing.
Vivo iQOO vs Xiaomi Mi 9 screen fingerprint speed
Well, I explained why I would personally pick Vivo iQOO vs Mi 9, but to be fair, I’ll post a couple of things that go in favor of the Mi 9.
One of the big features missing from iQOO is Wireless Charging. And this is where Xiaomi Mi 9 does exceptionally well, thanks to its support for 20W Wireless Charging.
MIUI 10 will look and feel better than Funtouch OS on the Vivo iQOO for most users. Not to mention the tremendous support for its platform.
Xiaomi Mi 9’s camera has a bunch of tricks up its sleeve like 48MP super high-resolution mode and even a moon mode (added via a new update). As I said, the camera on the phone isn’t bad, and if you prefer these special modes, then it’s worth considering the Mi 9. By the way, the 48MP mode on the phone definitely captures more details than regular smartphones, but the resulting file is pretty large — close to around 20Mb.
And last, as I mentioned above, the Mi 9 does look quite premium in its design. I’m sure a lot of people prefer its design over the iQOO.
For me, the absence of a Wireless Charging is not a deal breaker. I would have definitely preferred MIUI over Funtouch OS but then I like iQOO’s raw camera and the large battery that tops up quickly. These reasons are good enough for me to lean towards the 8+128GB variant of the Vivo iQOO vs Xiaomi Mi9 since they are priced exactly the same (3299 Yuan ~ $495).
What’s your take? Which one would you personally pick?
It’s important for smartphone manufacturers to focus on research and development to keep on evolving intentionally. Moving on par with the above saying, Xiaomi is effectively innovating to bring advancements in its smartphones and other smart devices. Now, Xiaomi CEO reveals that Xiaomi is ranked 11th in the world for AI patents applications, beating Huawei and Qualcomm.
Xiaomi ranking in AI research has improved a lot, as it moved from 85th place to 11th within a year, confirms Cui Baoqiu, Xiaomi’s chairman of the Technical Committee via Weibo. It applied for 684 patents in the AI field within the past 12 months reveals Lei Jun while congratulating Xiaomi AI department.
Cui Baoqiu is an AI expert who has extended its expertise to IBM, Yahoo, LinkedIn and is now actively heading Xiaomi Artificial Intelligence Department. As per official documents, he directly reports to CEO Lei Jun and is the vice president of the group and heads its technical committee as chairman.
According to official data from Nikkei Chinese network, Xiaomi stands second next to Baidu in domestic enterprise rankings. Xiaomi is keen to invest 10 billion Yuan in the next five years to create excellent AIOT products. In 2018, the Chinese giant invested around 4 Billion Yuan to boost up the AI development. Unsurprisingly, IBM, Microsoft, and Google are still leading the AI development with maximum patent applications coming from their side.
In Q3 2018, Xiaomi reported 132 million shipments of IoT consumer products, and around 100 million units were actively using Xiao AI Assistant. Xiaomi will surely benefit from this big leap in the AI industry in over next few years.
Google is expected to hold its annual Game Developer Conference 2019 from March 18-23. The tech giant recently revealed that it would hold an event on March 19. The purpose of the event wasn’t disclosed but the tech giant is expected to take the wraps off its first gaming console on that day but that was yet to be confirmed. Google has now released a new teaser video that lends credence to speculations that the tech giant will be unveiling a gaming product.
The teaser doesn’t explicitly show that the tech giant will be launching a gaming console but the scenes in the video which seem to be from different games suggest the product is a console. Besides, a recent Google teaser contained a link which directs readers to the Google Store. Google has never released any product that isn’t a hardware product on the store. The page offers fans the opportunity to pre-register to get news about the product when it is official. The last time Google did this was before the Pixel 3 models and speakers were launched.
We can’t be too sure about that but the listing is likely an indication that the product may become available for pre-orders immediately after it is launched.
Last year, gaming was one of the main focal points of a lot of mobile phones. There were even phones made specifically for gamers such as the Nubia Red Magic, ASUS ROG Gaming phone, and the Black Shark Gaming Phone. This year, we expect the aforementioned phones to get successors starting with the Black Shark whose successor comes out this month. However, the successor to Nubia’s Red Magic might be one of the more interesting ones.
Virtually all of the gaming phones and flagships released last year have one form of cooling technology or the other to keep the temperature low when playing CPU-demanding games. The common cooling method is the use of cooling pipes but a patent shows Nubia’s next gaming phone might come with something different – a cooling fan!
Images from a patent filed by Nubia at the Chinese Patent Office shows a phone with a small cooling fan built-in. The patent was filed in October 2018 and was granted last month.
[envira-gallery id=”240995″]
The patent description says the CPU is covered by a copper heatpipe that is then connected to the opening of the air duct. There will be an outlet on the side of the phone. The fan itself might make the phone a bit thick but that should mean they should also be able to fit in a larger battery.
Huawei is regularly teasing its upcoming flagship lineup – P30 series ahead of its launch at an event in Paris, France on 26th March. Already it has been teased with “Super Zoom” capabilities, and portrait mode with four rear-mounted cameras. While we wait for the launch date, Huawei has once again teased its camera via a poster highlighting its night time photography capabilities.
Huawei took to Weibo to announce poster teasing “Super Bright” photo taken from P30 device. Similar to other manufacturers, Huawei is also seen emphasizing on the camera’s low light capabilities. The company is terming it a new surprise which will uncover veil of the night and restore its true colors.
According to new renders surfaced by a famous tipster, Roland Quandt, the new Huawei P30 will have triple rear camera module, while its sibling will host an additional ToF sensor. Both the devices will carry similar designs featuring dew-drop display. Surprisingly, it will be the first Huawei P series device which will debut with an in-screen fingerprint.
The Huawei P30 series is reported to carry Octa-Core Kirin 980 SoC, 8/12GB RAM, 40W fast charging and a dew drop notch. Also, Huawei P30 Pro will carry Quad rear camera module featuring 10x hybrid zoom capabilities, 6.5 inch OLED display and 5G support. Its sibling, P30 will host a triple rear camera, 24 MP front-facing camera, 8GB RAM and 6.1-inch OLED panel.
The Xiaomi Mi 9 comes with tons of new features that are not available on other Xiaomi phones. Some of these features include game turbo mode, dark mode, dynamic wallpaper. If you have been wondering when these features will be available on other phones, we’ve got good news for you.
Yesterday, Li Weixing, the General manager of Xiaomi Internet, shared on Weibo a table that shows which of the Mi 9’s features will be coming to older phones and when they will receive it. Below is a reproduction of the table in English:
Late March – Mi 8, Mi 8 Pro, Mi 8 Explorer, Mi MIX 3, Mi MIX 2S.
New Fingerprint animation and Shortcuts
Mi 8 Pro, Mi 8 Explorer Edition.
New Always on Display design and features
End of March – Mi 8, Mi 8 Pro, Mi 8 Explorer Edition, Mi 8 SE, and Mi MIX 3.
Dark Mode
End of March – Mi 8, Mi 8 Pro, Mi 8 Explorer Edition, Mi 8 SE, Mi 8 Lite, Mi 6X, Mi MIX 3, Mi MIX 2S, Mi Note 3, Mi MAX 3, Redmi Note 7, Redmi Note 7 Pro, Redmi Note 6 Pro, Redmi 6 Pro, Redmi Note 5, Redmi S2.
In the face of a saturated market, smartphone manufacturers are devising different strategies to sell their phones. One pattern that is gradually turning into a trend is the launch of a new, independent brand focused on a particular niche. Vivo recently launched the iQOO focused on smartphone gaming. Xiaomi last year launched the cheap flagship Poco brand while OPPO has the Realme brand focused on certain markets in Asia. Another strategy is to release new models under a brand new series just like Samsung is doing with the Galaxy A series. OPPO recently teased a new series called Reno which would be hitting the market soon.
While we are still uncertain about the specs of the OPPO Reno, the company’s vocal VP Brian Shen has shared a couple of camera samples which he says were captured by the Reno’s camera. Specifically, the samples were shot using the 48MP main camera at the rear and the images were unedited. He did clarify that the device is still in development so the EXIF data will show the R&D code PBDM00. The samples are pretty stunning, exposure is superb even under low light condition as seen on the samples below. The pictures come out with clarity even under the poorly lit condition. OPPO VP also hinted that the camera is still being optimized so the device may even bring out better samples when it is launched. That sounds interesting.
The OPPO Reno will feature a 48-megapixel main camera with a second 5-megapixel sensor while there is a front-facing 16-megapixel snapper onboard. The device was earlier said to pack a Snapdragon 855 chipset but a recent Bluetooth SIG certification listing shows the device pack a Snapdragon 710 chipset. The phone is expected to be launched in April.
Xiaomi has launched a new set of router models with improved connectivity. The Mi Router 4A and the advanced Mi Router 4A Gigabit are even already available on the company’s official website. Their prices are also very much affordable with the Router 4A priced at 119 yuan (~$17) and the Router 4A Gigabit having a price tag of 169 yuan ($25).
The Mi Router 4A and 4A Gigabit provides two frequency bands of 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz without mutual interference. The dual-band concurrent wireless connection rate can reach up to 1167 Mbps. The 2.4GHz frequency band has longer transmission, better coverage and better wall penetration performance. The 5GHz frequency band uses 802.11ac technology, with less interference and high speed. It is smoother to watch high-definition video and play large online games. Externally, the two routers have the same design. Their outer casings are both made from environmentally-friendly matte plastic material and both have four external high-gain antennas. They both run MiWROM based on OpenWRT deep customization.
The Mi Router 4A is powered by a MediaTek MT7628DA chipset paired with 64MB RAM. There is also 16MB ROM onboard. It has one 100M WAN port and two 100M LAN ports. This model is suitable for families with broadband below 100M, and can stably connect 64 devices. On the other hand, the Router 4A Gigabit features an 880MHz dual-core four-thread processor and 128MB RAM. It provides super fast internet connectivity via the single Gigabit WAN port and two Gigabit LAN ports. Xiaomi says the router is suitable for 100M broadband homes and can stably connect 128 devices. They also come with specially treated metal substrates, combined with high-radiation nano-materials in other to achieve excellent heat-dissipating ability, thus effectively reducing the chip temperature and improving system stability.

Hisense will announce the U30 upper mid-range phone tomorrow at the Appliances and Electronics World Expo (AWE). A new Hisense phone with model number HLTE216T has appeared on TENAA and we have a feeling it might also launch tomorrow.
The Hisense HLTE216T has a 6.217-inch 720 x 1520 display. It is powered by a 1.8GHz octa-core processor and will come with either 4GB or 6GB of RAM. There will be three storage variants – 32GB, 64GB, and 128GB and all three will support storage expansion.
[envira-gallery id=”240929″]
The phone has dual rear cameras – a 13MP primary sensor and a 2MP depth sensor. It has an 8MP camera in front for selfies and video calls. TENAA says the phone runs Android 9 Pie and will come in Champagne Gold and Junya Black.
The selling point of the Hisense HLTE216T will be its big battery which has a capacity of 5360mAh. That should get you through two whole days. The phone is a bit heavy at 198 grams and measures 156.98 x 75.54 x 9.36 millimeters.
TENAA has provided images of the phone too. The phone has a notch that houses the selfie camera. The rear seems to be covered in glass but it might just be an NCVM coating. The rear cameras are separated but are positioned on the left on top of one another.
A few months ago, we reported about Huawei’s sub-brand Honor is planning to launch a new power bank in the market. However, there has been no progress regarding this since then. If you have been waiting for that power bank, here are some news.
The company has officially acknowledged a new powerbank from Honor — Honor Powerbank 2 is coming soon as the Chinese brand is looking for testers for this upcoming product. This indicates that the launch of this powerbank is not far away.
Honor has announced it is looking for testers for the Honor Powerbank 2 and those who are interested can sign-up for the same. The company will then select a few applicants who will be provided the upcoming powerbank for testing.
Also, the company has announced rewards for the testers. Honor will evaluate the performance of the testers and will give them prizes accordingly, including Honor V20, Honor 8X, Honor FlyPods, Honor Router Pro 2, and Honor Smart Body Scale.
Currently, nothing much is known about this Honor Powerbank but previous reports indicate that it’ll have a 10,000mAh capacity and could come with support for 40W SuperCharge fast charging protocol. It’s said that the Powerbank 2 will be able to charge the Huawei Mate 20 Pro and the Honor Magic 2 at 40W and other supported devices at 22.5W fast charging thanks to the power bank’s backward compatibility.
As of now, there’s no information about when the Honor Powerbank 2 will get launch or how much it will cost. But given that it’s up for public testing, the launch should take place in the coming weeks.
Although Xiaomi is already toying with the idea of increasing the prices of its phones, they are still relatively cheap. The Chinese company has always branded itself as an internet company and one way it recoups its revenue is through the MIUI custom ROM. The company serves ads on the app with the rate becoming more intense lately. Xiaomi even serves adds on its music app and other aspects of the custom ROM.
Xiaomi’s Product director and MIUI Experience General Manager recently floated a feedback forum on Weibo where he asked fans to mention the things they would like to see on MIUI. He also asked that they mention what they consider as a snag on the custom ROM. Among the responses, one that stood out was the one asking that Xaomi include a feature to turn of the ads. In response, the Xiaomi exec hinted that the company will include such feature but it would take some time.
Allowing users to turn off the advertisement on MIUI will be counterproductive for Xiaomi as it stands presently. This is because MIUI is one of Xiaomi’s major cash cow and advertisement is the major revenue source from MIUI. Since the MIUI head has agreed that the company will rectify the way ads are being served, it could be that the company is planning to increase its revenue from smartphones by increasing the unit prices. That seems to be the most feasible alternative revenue source if the revenue from MIUI ads drops. Sure, if Xaomi includes a feature to turn off adverts, most users will use it and that will translate to a revenue loss of billions of dollars. So, we don’t see Xiaomi taking any action on that anytime soon. Perhaps, in the short term, the company could reduce the placement.
The Samsung Galaxy Fold and Huawei Mate X foldable phones that were recently announced are all equipped with flagship specs. Fresh information shared by XDA Developers publication reveals that the rumored Motorola RAZR foldable phone will come with upper mid-range specs. Here is all the information on the specs of the phone that has been shared by the publication.
The Moto RAZR 2019 is speculated to be powered by the Snapdragon 710 SoC that includes an octa-core processor that works at 2.2 GHz and Adreno 616 graphics.

Black Shark, a gaming smartphone brand backed by Xiaomi, is all set to launch its third smartphone — Black Shark 2 in China next week, on 18th March. The company has so far launched two phones — Black Shark and Black Shark Helo.
For gaming smartphones, one of the critical factors is battery life and the company seems to work out a new solution for the upcoming smartphone. Black Shark CEO Peter said on Weibo that the phone will come with an e-sports grade battery.
He added that this will increase the charging and discharging performance by 60 percent, thanks to the optimized battery chemical system and tweaking the charge and discharge algorithm. He has also confirmed that the phone will come with Liquid Cooling 3.0 technology.
Earlier, the phone passed through AnTuTu under the model name, BlackShark Skywalker, powered by Qualcomm’s latest and greatest Snapdragon 855 octa-core chipset. The device packs 8GB + 128GB memory configuration, but we know for sure that there’s a higher-end model, with 12GB of RAM on board, which was spotted on Geekbench a couple of days back.
The listing has also confirmed that the phone will come with a display having 2340 x 1080 pixels screen resolution. Finally, the phone manages to score 359,973, which is pretty average for the new Snapdragon 855 chipset.
The smartphone has also passed through 3C certification which confirmed that the phone will come with 27W fast charging, same as the Xiaomi Mi 9. A recently leaked hands-on image also gave us a glimpse of the new camera arrangement of the phone, vertically aligned dual cameras at the back.
To know for sure about the phone’s specifications, pricing, and availability information, we’ll have to wait until the official launch event, which is scheduled on 18th March in China. Xiaomi is also holding an event on the same day to launch Redmi Note 7 Pro, Redmi 7, and a few other products.
Vivo will be launching the Vivo X27 smartphone on March 19. The handset has already appeared with full specifications on TENAA. Through Weibo, the Chinese manufacturer has now confirmed some of the key specifications of the Vivo X27 smartphone.
The first teaser shown below states that the Vivo X27 will be arriving with 8 GB of RAM. It would be equipped with a large inbuilt storage of 256 GB. The smartphone will be featuring a big battery of 4,000mAh capacity. Even though it is not mentioned, it is speculated to come equipped with 22.5W rapid charging support through USB-C.
The second teaser talks about the photography features of the Vivo X27. The handset will be equipped with a triple camera unit on its rear with 48-megapixel primary sensor. Rumors are rife that it could be the Sony IMX586 48-megapixel sensor. The teaser reveals that the phone will be able to offerings users with wide-angle mode and night view mode. There is a possibility that the company could be hinting on the presence of wide-angle lens and a dedicated sensor for capturing optimized shots in dark conditions.
The Vivo V1829A/T model that was approved by TENNA authority around two weeks ago is believed to be the Vivo X27 smartphone. Recent reports have revealed that the Vivo X27 will have a lower version powered by Snapdragon 675 and a higher model with Snapdragon 710 chipset. Probably, the higher variant could be equipped with 8 GB RAM and 256 GB of native storage.
The handset will be featuring a 6.39-inch S-AMOLED notch-less display with 19.5:9 aspect ratio and full HD+ resolution. For shooting selfies, it will come with a pop-up selfie snapper of 16-megapixel. The triple camera setup on the rear is expected to feature Sony IMX586 48-megapixel sensor + 13-megapixel super wide-angle lens + 5-megapixel depth sensor.
