Samsung has finally taken the wraps off the Galaxy S10 series which has keep the rumour mill agog for several months running. The Galaxy S10 series is comprised of the Galaxy S10, Galaxy S10+ and Galaxy S10E. The models are arguably Samsung’s most electrifying flagships yet considering how they deviate from the predecessor in several aspects.
In terms of the design, the Galaxy S10 series looks premium with the body made from glass and aluminium. The design isn’t very much different from the predecessor especially the rear design. The front is starkly different from Samsung’s previous phones, including the notch-bearing models from last year. Just as expected, the Galaxy S10, S10+ and S10E all come with the punch-hole notch, also known as hole-in-display design placed at the top right corner of the display. The Galaxy S10+ has a wider punch hole housing dual cameras while the Galaxy S10 and Galaxy S10E both have a single punch hole opening since they both pack a single selfie camera apiece.
Samsung Galaxy S10 and Galaxy S10+ Features
The Galaxy S10 sports a 5.8-inch “Dynamic” Infinity-O AMOLED while the S10+ comes with a bigger 6.44-inch display.Both dislays have QHD+ resolutions and 19:9 aspect ratios.

Further, the design doesn’t include a physical fingerprint scanner at the rear instead, the device comes with an in-display supersonic fingerprint sensor which Samsung says is faster than the optical fingerprint sensors that made the rounds on the Huawei Mate 20 Pro and the OnePlus 6T.
Samsung wasn’t the first OEM to announce a Snapdragon 855 phone as Xiaomi beat it to that title with the Mi 9 flagship released earlier today. However, the Galaxy S10 models are powered by Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 855 chipset while the international version will be powered by Exynos chipset. On the memory aspect, the Samsung Galaxy S10 will be available with 6GB or 8GB of RAM and 128 or 512GB of storage, respectively. On its part, the Galaxy S10+ comes with 6GB, 8GB, or 12GB of RAM and 128GB, 512GB, and 1TB of native storage. All versions come with microSD card slots for further expansion, though we doubt anyone will ever find the need to do so on the one-terabyte version. The models also come with stereo speakers, a USB Type-C port, IP68 water-resistance, and a dedicated Bixby button.
For photography, both the Galaxy S10 and S10+ feature triple rear camera setup. The camera configuration include a regular 77-degree 12MP sensor with an F1.5/F2.4 variable aperture, a 12MP 2x telephoto snapper with a 45-degree viewing angle and a fixed aperture of F/2.4 and an ultra-wide 16MP camera with a 123-degree viewing angle and a fixed F2.2 aperture. The first two sensors ave Optical stabilization (OIS) while the third sensor doesn’t. The front sensor for the Galaxy S10 is a single 10MP camera with OIS and 4K video recording.

Open the Galaxy Fold and you are greeted by the 7.3-inch Infinity Flex Display with a 1536 x 2152 resolution. In this mode, you can use three apps at the same time which Samsung calls Three-app Multitasking.
When folded into phone mode, you have a 4.6-inch 840 x 1960 display. One neat feature of the Galaxy Fold is what Samsung calls App Continuity. What this does is automatically adjust an app when you switch screens.

Xiaomi has continued to improve on the camera capability of its smartphones, both the mid-range and flagship phones. But the flagship products have seen tremendous improvements in their camera specs while retaining the affordable pricing for which Xiaomi phones are known. The Mi Mix 2s which was released in March 2018 scored 97 points on DXOMark benchmark test which is the same with the iPhone X’s score. The Mi 8 which was released in May last year saw further improvements in its camera configuration as it polled 98 points on the benchmark test, surpassing the iPhone X. When the Mi Mix 3 was released in October last year, one of the headlines grabbing feature was the powerful camera which ranked among the top 3 best phone cameras with a score of 103 points. The flagship Mi 9 which has just been announced, takes the bar higher as it scored a total point of 107.
The new Mi 9 comes with a triple camera setup just like the Huawei P20 Pro but it ranks just two points below the P20 Pro and Mate 20 Pro which sits on top as the best phone cameras around. Both the Mate 20 Pro and P20 Pro have 109 points on DXOMark’s test. In addition, we must point out that even though DXO started to review selfie cameras, the ranking is just for the rear cameras.
We need not to remind you that the Mi 9 is Xiaomi’s first triple camera phone. The three sensors are arranged vertically at the top left corner and are covered with Sapphire glass. At the top is a 12MP Samsung ISOCELL S5K3M5 telephoto lens with a holographic ring around it. The sensor comes with an f/2.2 aperture and 2x optical zoom. Beneath the sensor is the laser-focus module. The main sensor is at the middle and is a 48MP Sony IMX586 f/1.75 sensor with a 6P lens. There is also a 16MP Sony IMX481 f/2.2 sensor for taking wide-angle photos and macro shots at the bottom. The wide-angle sensor has a 117° viewing angle.
Xiaomi’s Mi 9 flagship brings a new charging technology that charges at 27W. It is faster than Quick Charge 3.0 and even OnePlus’ Dash Charge but a little slower than the new Warp Charge 30. Unfortunately, you won’t find a 27W wall adapter in the box if you buy the Mi 9 (at least the standard variant).
A review of the Mi 9 by Gsmarena revealed the phone comes with an 18W charger instead. You also cannot purchase the adapter separately if you actually want one. So how do you get it?
To get the 27W wall adapter, you have to buy the 20W wireless charger bundle. This bundle includes the 20W Mi Wireless Charging Pad and the 27W wall adapter for ¥149 (~$22). It also includes a 1m USB Type-C cord with a USB Type-A end that goes into the adapter. Xiaomi says the cable supports 3A fast charge.
This doesn’t make sense actually and sounds like something Apple would do but with a significantly higher price tag. I guess they don’t call them the “Apple of China” for nothing.
The 27W wall adapter supports the following power inputs: 5V 3A, 9v 2A, 12V 2.25A, and 20V 1.35A. There are also a bunch of safety protections built into it to keep your phone from damage.
Xiaomi has continued to stick to its plans to integrate all its smart home gadgets to be controlled from a central hub.

The XiaoAI-integrated smart speakers sales have been a huge success with over 9 million units sold cumulatively. The Chinese tech giant today unveiled an upgraded smart speaker, the XiaoAI touchscreen speaker which is quite similar to the Google home Hub and Lenovo Smart display.
The XiaoAI touchscreen speaker is very much different from its predecessors in terms of the design as it comes with a touchscreen display. The device features a 4-inch display which has space for a custom digital clock. The display can also be used to select music and watch videos and a variety of apps can be installed on the device. it also comes with an alarm clock. The smart speaker will come with a large number of video resources as well as Tencent’s Q music library. The XiaoAI smart speaker can also be integrated with a host of smart home gadgets such as the smart cameras, smart doorbells and several others.
Xiaomi is yet to disclose details of its pricing and availability. However, the smart speaker will open for beta testing on February 28.

Xiaomi today held the much-anticipated conference where the flagship Mi 9 was launched alongside the Mi 9 Transparent Edition. Xiaomi also took a cue from the success of last year’s model, Mi 8 SE by unveiling the cheaper Mi 9 SE.
Xiaomi Mi 9 SE comes with a 5.97-inch full-screen AMOLED display with a 2.5D curved glass on top. The display has the water drop notch design at the top which houses the front camera. The water drop notch design ensures the bezels are at their barest, giving the device a 90.47% screen to body ratio. The device is equipped with the fifth-generation screen fingerprint technology. The Mi 9 SE is powered by the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 712 chipset which has some improvements over the Snapdragon 710 SoC. It must be noted that Xiaomi scores a first with this one, as the Mi 9 SE is the first phone to be powered by the new Snapdragon 712 processor. The new chipset sure looks like a powerful one with an AnTuTu benchmark score of 187,626 points. The phone comes in two memory configurations. There is a 6GB RAM and 64GB storage version as well as a second model with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage.
The Mi 9 SE comes with a triple camera set up at the rear just like the Mi 9. The configuration is slightly different from that of the Mi 9. The three sensors comprise a 48MP+8MP+13MP. The main camera is a Sony sensor while the front camera is a 20MP sensor with beauty selfie feature. The phone also comes with features such as NFC, GPS, IR blaster and more. For power, the Mi 9 SE packs a 3070mAh battery under its hood with 18W fast charge support.
As for the price, the Mi 9 SE comes with an affordable 1999 Yuan ($297) price tag for the 6GB+64GB variant. On the other hand, the 6GB+128GB storage variant 2,299 Yuan ($342). Now, these are amazing price tags when you look at the specs. Xiaomi also unveiled a protective case for the device priced at just 49 yuan (~$7). Xiaomi is yet to disclose details of its availability but the Mi 9 SE may likely be unveiled for the global market alongside the Mi 9 on February 24 at MWC 2019 in Barcelona.
Xiaomi has just launched the Xiaomi Mi 9, Mi 9 Explorer Edition and Mi 9 SE smartphones in China. Very soon its independent Redmi brand will be also debuting the Redmi Note 7 Pro smartphone in the home market. It appears that the Redmi 7 series will also arrive in quick succession since it has been approved by FCC authority in the U.S.
The FCC authority has a Xiaomi phone with model number M180F6LG. None of the FCC documents carry the Redmi 7 moniker. However, when the same model number was approved by IMDA agency of Singapore earlier this month, it was revealed that it will be hitting the market as Redmi 7. Apart from being approved by FCC and IMDA authorities, the Redmi 7 has also received certification from 3C authority of China earlier this month.
The 3C certification of the Redmi 7 had revealed that it carries support for 10W charging. The 3C body had approved three variants of the phone such as M180F6LE, M180F6LC and M180F6LK. Through the FCC certification, it has been revealed that the phone measures 157 x 76mm. Diagonally, it measures 167mm which suggests that it could be coming with a screen size of around 6.2 inches. The rear image of the phone that has appeared in the FCC documents shows that it features a single camera on its rear. This seems a bit strange since the predecessor Redmi 6 phone had come with dual rear cameras.
The Android 9 Pie OS could be available on the device. FCC reveals that the phone features MIUI 10 user interface. It has been also found that the Redmi 7 will be arriving in three options in the international markets like 3 GB RAM + 32 GB storage, 3 GB RAM + 64 GB storage and 4 GB RAM + 64 GB storage. The other specs of the Redmi 7 are still under the wraps.
Probably, Redmi may announce the Redmi 7 series with phones like Redmi 7A, Redmi 7 and Redmi 7 Pro in March or early in the second quarter of the year. In the previous month, Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun had claimed that the Redmi 7 could be priced between 700 Yuan and 800 Yuan.
The Mi 9 supports wireless charging and alongside the phone, Xiaomi has announced a trio of wireless charging accessories for it. These wireless charging accessories also work with other devices that support Qi wireless charging.
Xiaomi 20W Mi Wireless Charger
This is an upgraded version of the Mi Wireless Charger that ships with the Mi MIX 3. However, it now supports 27W power input and 20W output which charges your Mi 9 from empty to full in just 60 minutes. It has a silent fan and a heat sink for a dual-cooling system. The charger comes in white and is priced at ¥99 (~$15), the same price as the previous model. It is backward compatible, so if you want to get a new wireless charger, you should wait for this one to go on sale.
Xiaomi 20W Mi Wireless Car Charger
Xiaomi has also announced a wireless car charger that also supports its 20W wireless flash charge technology. The car charger also has a power input of 27W. One pretty neat trick the car charger has is a motorized clamp that opens when it senses you want to mount the phone for charging.
The 20W wireless car charger is priced at ¥169 (~$25).
Xiaomi Mi 10,000mAh Wireless Power Bank
In addition to the desktop and car wireless chargers, there is also the Mi 10000mAh wireless power bank. The power bank comes in black and supports 10W wireless charging. It also has two output ports for charging wired devices.
The wireless power bank will sell for ¥149 (~$22).
We will update the post when Xiaomi announces availability.
