Majority of Android-based smartphone manufacturers have already implemented the new in-screen fingerprint scanners. Samsung introduced the world’s first device featuring ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint scanner with improved accuracy. Whereas Apple’s iPhone is still waiting to abode the new generation of fingerprint sensors within the display.

The waiting period is over, as Apple and Qualcomm joined hands to introduce in-screen fingerprint sensor on the new iPhone, reports industry chain. Technology similar to Galaxy S10’s ultrasonic sensor is being under works for iPhone. As like always, Apple is working tirelessly with Qualcomm to bring the best quality fingerprint reader for the upcoming iPhone.

Ultrasonic in-screen sensors are considered to be faster, safer and work accurately even in wet conditions. As compared to optical sensors, it can unlock the device in 250 ms and carries a 1% maximum rejection rate. Unlike the 300 microns sensing in traditional sensors, Qualcomm’s second generation sensors can efficiently work with up to 800 microns.

Despite these advancements, we have seen cases where users have managed to unlock the device using a printed 3D fingerprint models. It is vulnerable to unauthenticated unlocking methods as of now.

Apr 22, 2019

Huawei P30 Pro, the China-based company’s latest flagship smartphone, has already been launched in several regions. The phone, which is now available for purchase, has passed through all of the physical tests for examining the phone’s build quality.

YouTuber JerryRigEverything made the P30 Pro go through a series of tests and the phone seems to have emerged as a winner. The phone is made of tempered glass and scratches on level 6 and level 7 of the Moh scale in the video.

When put through the scratch test, the phone’s tempered glass is getting scratches at Moh level 6 or 7, which is the norm in flagship grade phones. The phone is made of tempered glass and performed impressively in the bend test as well as it passes through without any cracks on the screen.

The back of the phone seems heavily resistant to scratches, and even the protection over the camera lenses at the back is unaffected to scratches. Then, the phone’s display is also put to fire with a lighter, and the pixels start to turn white and never recover only after 22 seconds of continuous flame.

While the P30 Pro’s display briefly stops working, but it starts working properly again after just one reboot. The display over the in-display fingerprint scanner is also heavily scratched and is working well even after the scratches.

Huawei P30 Pro features a 6.47-inch Full HD+ curved OLED display. The phone doesn’t have an earpiece, instead, it uses Acoustic Display Technology which emits sounds through the display using magnetic levitation.

Under the hood, the device is powered by the company’s own HiSilicon Kirin 980 octa-core processor along with 8GB of RAM and up to 512GB of internal storage. There is support for storage expansion using Huawei’s NM Card.

In terms of the camera configuration, the P30 Pro has four camera sensors on the back panel – a 20MP f/2.2 ultra wide angle lens, a 40MP f/1.6 wide-angle lens, an 8MP f/3.4 5X telephoto, and a ToF depth-sensing camera. For taking selfies, the phone comes with a 32MP sensor with AI HDR+.

The IP68 rated smartphone also comes with an in-display fingerprint scanner which is claimed by the company to be 30% faster than that of the previous generation. The P30 Pro runs Android 9 Pie-based EMUI 9.1 custom interface and is powered by a 4,200mAh battery with support for 40W fast-charging and support for 15W wireless fast charging.

OnePlus 7 Pro leak hints at a 48MP Triple Camera solution at the rear

Apr 22, 2019

OnePlus will officially reveal the launch date of its upcoming OnePlus 7 Pro and OnePlus 7 models on April 23. While we wait for the launch details, there’s a new leak in town which reveals the key camera specs of it rear module. The smartphone in question is the higher-end model, the OnePlus 7 Pro, which will reportedly come with one extra camera than the regular version, taking the total to three cameras at the back.

The triple camera setup on the OnePlus 7 Pro will start with a 48MP primary camera, an 8MP f/2.4 telephoto lens with 3x zoom, and a 16MP f/2.2 ultra-wide lens. The camera details come via the Twitter leakster Max J. Note that the same leakster reveals that the 5G version will be called as the OnePlus 7 Pro 5G.

The OnePlus 7 Pro is expected to share the same Snapdragon 855 flagship processor as the standard variant. However, the Pro version will have a full-screen display, without a notch, all thanks to its pop up camera design. Further, this version’s screen is said to support 90Hz refresh rate, making it an ideal smartphone for gaming.

In the past few years, OnePlus has often stuck to necessary features and additions to keep its flagship’s pricing affordable. However, with the OnePlus 7 Pro, the company is looking to take things to a higher level, joining the likes of big players like Samsung and Huawei. We still expect the Pro version to retail at lower prices than say the Huawei P30 or the Galaxy S10 but it should definitely be a lot higher than its predecessors.

Nubia Red Magic 3 makes appearance at gaming competition

By

Apr 21, 2019

Last year, a couple of manufacturers announced gaming phones. Brands like Black Shark and Nubia even released two gaming phones. Black Shark has already released its first gaming phone for this year and Nubia is set to reply with the Red Magic 3 on April 28. The phone was spotted at a public event today, ahead of the launch next week.

The Red Magic 3 was on display at the League of Legends LPL Spring Championship finals today. Those who attended were lucky enough to get an early look at the upcoming gaming phone and someone was kind enough to share pictures.

The Red Magic 3 is shown in a glass box, but only its back is visible. The phone itself also has a case on. The design doesn’t seem to be different from that of the Red Magic Mars. There is still a single camera on the back of the device and the fingerprint scanner still has a hexagonal shape, although the Red Magic logo has been moved. It now sits between the camera and the fingerprint scanner. The color variant in the image is red but we expect Nubia will announce other colors too.

Nokia TA-1184 phone codenamed “Wasp” passes FCC, packs 6.1” screen

Apr 21, 2019

HMD Global might announce a new Nokia phone soon, as a new device with multiple model numbers has been approved by the FCC. The certification documents reveal some important details about the phone.

The phone’s model number is listed as TA-1188 but its variants include TA-1183 and TA-1184. TA-1188 is believed to be the global variant while TA-1183 and TA-1184 are the Indian and Chinese variants respectively. TA-1188 was certified by Russia’s Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC).

[envira-gallery id=”248703″]

The device is codenamed “Wasp”. The documents reveal it has 3GB of RAM, 32GB of storage, and an audio jack. The Nokia TA-1184 also has dual SIM support, 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, and support for LTE bands 2, 4, 5, 7, 12, and 17.

The phone is 145.96mm long, 70.56mm wide, and measures 154.83mm diagonally which roughly translates to a 6.1-inch display. There are no diagrams that show if the phone has a notch and what type it has.

Real images of the Meizu 16T leaks, sports triple rear cameras

By

-

Apr 21, 2019

The Meizu 16s will be announced on April 23. It is supposed to come along with two siblings – the Meizu 16s Plus and the Meizu 16T which is specifically made for gaming. However, it has been reported that Meizu has canceled the 16s Plus. We don’t know the fate of the Meizu 16T but photos of the device have leaked, albeit a prototype.

The Meizu 16s will have dual rear cameras but the Meizu 16T will add an extra sensor for a triple camera setup. It won’t have the ring flash design but a regular LED flash which sits below the cameras.

There is no fingerprint scanner on the back of the phone which means it should have one under the display. There are two screws shown holding the phone together which is unusual for a device that looks to be covered in glass.

The image of the front of the device shows the Meizu 16T will also have thin bezels like the Meizu 16s. It will also skip the notch. The picture is blurry, so we can’t make out more details.

There are no hardware features that show the Meizu 16T is a gaming phone. The design is simple and pales in comparison to other gaming phones on the market, but there might be software features or even accessories like a controller that attaches to the phone that makes it a gaming phone.

LG patents phone with triple front cameras, removes key feature

By

-

Apr 21, 2019

There are a handful of phones with triple front-facing cameras. The ones that come to mind are the Meitu V7 and the Honor Magic 2. A published patent has revealed LG may be joining the pretty short list in the future.

The Korean phone maker filed a patent with the World Intellectual property Office for a phone with three front cameras…..housed inside a notch. Yeah, it appears the notch will remain for quite some time on LG phones.

The configuration is unknown for the triple cameras but we want to believe one of the sensors is a ToF 3D camera. The LG G8 ThinQ has dual front-facing cameras – a wide angle sensor and a ToF camera. For this device, the new sensor might be an ultra-wide angle camera.

The patent diagram also shows the phone has triple rear cameras and a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner (it seems LG is still not sold on in-display fingerprint scanners). The volume control and AI assistant buttons are on the left while the power button and SIM tray are on the right.

While the cameras might be the big deal here, there is actually a more important detail that the patent shows (or doesn’t show). The device doesn’t have an audio jack! LG is one of the few manufacturers that have kept the 3.5mm audio jack on their phones but this patent shows it may be removed in future devices.

Video Ad shows Lenovo Z6 Pro has a notch, camera features teased

Apr 20, 2019

The design of the Lenovo Z6 Pro’s display has remained a mystery but we don’t have to wait until its launch on Tuesday, April 23 to know what it looks like. A video ad for the phone has now been uploaded on the web and it shows what the phone looks like.

The Z6 Pro will not have a notch-less display like the Z5 Pro GT, so that means no slider design or pop-up selfie camera. Instead, it will have a U-shaped notch similar to that of the Essential PH-1 according to the video.

The video advert also confirms the phone will have its fingerprint scanner under the display and have four rear cameras. It appears the phone may also come in just one color variant as the advert doesn’t show any other variant other than the red and black on we have seen in leaked photos and press renders.

The Lenovo Z6 Pro will have four cameras with a bunch of features. The reservation page Lenovo put up on its site shows the phone will have a large 2.9μm pixel size, super night mode, 8-axis OIS, a Time of Flight (ToF) camera, a 2.39-centimeter super macro mode, and a 125° super wide-angle field of view.

One of the phones we are looking forward to next week is the Redmi Y3. The mid-range device will be the first Xiaomi/Redmi phone with a 32MP selfie camera. Ahead of the launch, Xiaomi India has released a video testing the build quality of the device.

The video which is less than a minute confirms the device will indeed launch as the Redmi Y3. It will have dual rear cameras arranged vertically on the left of the phone. An LED flash is beneath the sensors and a fingerprint scanner is in the middle. The variant is blue but because of the design, it reflects all the colors of the rainbow depending on the angle light rays hit the glass back. Up in front, the Redmi Y3 packs a display with a waterdrop notch that houses the 32MP selfie camera.

For the durability test, the Redmi Y3 is put in a wastebasket which is then rolled down a flight of stairs. The phone survives the fall but we don’t get to see a closeup view to know if the body survived unscathed. We aren’t sold on the durability test as it doesn’t replicate a real life scenario. We advise you get a protective case for your phone especially one that is covered in glass on both sides.
