A recent report based on the information received from people who are aware of the matter, OnePlus’ 5G phone will be costing $100 more than the OnePlus 6T.

The hot-selling OnePlus 6T catapults OnePlus to the top 5 ranking in the US in Q4 2018

Around August last year, OnePlus announced that it had sealed a mutually beneficial deal with T-Mobile that would see the OnePlus 6T and subsequent smartphones getting released under the US carrier. Smartphone sale in the US market is heavily dependent on telecom carriers. So, the move was a pretty impressive one and the results have started streaming inOxygenOS OTA OnePlus 6 and OnePlus 6T featured

According to a report by the International Data Corporation (IDC) as contained in an official press release by OnePlus, it ranks among the top five high-end smartphone vendors during the fourth quarter. Much of this is as a result of the OnePlus 6T that was released within the fourth quarter. The OP6T is reported to have sold so well in the US between October and December. Fora company that is barely 5 years old in the industry, that is no small feat. Also, this is coming in the face of a slump in global smartphone shipments.

Unfortunately, OnePlus didn’t disclose its market share in the high-end US market but we believe it is huge to have lifted the company to the top 5 brands in Q4 2018. The figures could even be higher but the OnePlus 6T wasn’t available all quarter just like the OP6 that equally got lots of positive reviews. In case you are wondering who the remaining four brands are, that wasn’t disclosed but there is no doubt Apple and Samsung occupy the first two lots. Google and LG are tipped to also be among the top 5.

ZTE Axon 10 Pro moniker confirmed as it is certified by EEC

Chinese phone maker ZTE launched a new entrance into the smartphone industry with the Axon 9 Pro released in August last year after the US ban was lifted. The company is now in the thick of plans to release a successor to the Axon 9 Pro. The device was spotted recently on GeekBench as ZTE A2020 Pro. The Axon 10 Pro moniker has now been confirmed by its listing on the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) where it has just been certified.ZTE Axon 10 Pro

The document clearly shows the GeekBench listed ZTE A2020 Pro will be known as Axon 10 Pro when it is eventually launched officially. The EEC listing doesn’t contain any other detail about the device but previous leaks including the GeekBench listing shows the Axon 10 Pro will pack a Snapdragon 855 chipset paired with 6GB of RAM. The phone is expected to also run Android 9 Pie out of the box.

Leaked Samsung Galaxy S10+ banner reaffirms the front design

As the February 20 launch event for the Galaxy S10 series draws nearer, we expect the rumour mill to continue buzzing. The latest leak comes from popular tipster Evan Blass and it is an official-looking promotional banner for the Galaxy S10+. Rightly so, the banner contains the render of the flagship device, availing us another chance to feast on the design.Samsung Galaxy S10+

The render only shows the front view of the Galaxy S10+ and the most important feature that we can see is the punch-hole display which houses not one, but two selfie cameras. The punch-hole design fits in line with Samsung’s Infinity O display technology, which the company talked about at a press conference back in November. As a result of the design, the bezels surrounding the display on the Galaxy S10+ are noticeably slimmer.

The Samsung Galaxy S10+ is said to feature a 6.4-inch AMOLED display just like the Galaxy Note 9 but this model may likely offer the highest screen-to-body ratio for any Samsung smartphone yet. Although the render doesn’t show the rear, previous leaks show the device will have three camera sensors with an LED flash at the side. There is no fingerprint sensor at the rear which means the device will feature an in-display fingerprint sensor. The location of the volume rockers and power buttons at the side don’t seem to have changed. The volume rockers and Bixby button are on the left side while the power button sits at the right. The Galaxy S10+ is expected to pack a Snapdragon 855 chipset as well as the latest Exynos 9820 on some models. For memory, the device will have at least 6GB of RAM and up to 1TB of native storage.

Xiaomi to make smartphone-related announcement tomorrow morning

Xiaomi has shared a post on Weibo that says it will make an important announcement tomorrow.

The poster doesn’t reveal much save for a digital alarm clock set to 10 o’clock. There are speculations the announcement may be related to the Mi 9 flagship while some say it might be related to the Redmi Note 7 Pro which Xiaomi itself disclosed will launch after the Spring Festival holidays. However, the official Redmi account has not shared a similar post, so tomorrow’s announcement may be related to the Mi 9.

The Mi 9 has been certified by China’s TENAA and has also been certified in Singapore. It is said to be designed by the same person who designed the Mi 6. Leaked images have also revealed the flagship will have a triple camera setup on its back.

Meizu’s secret product is co-developed with Astell&Kern and costs ¥6999 (~$1033)

Meizu has been dropping teasers for a product launch on Thursday, February 14. We originally thought it would be the Note 9 but today’s teaser poster revealed that it isn’t it. Now, live images have leaked that provide more details about the device.

The images were shared on Weibo by Ice Universe and they seem to have been taken at Meizu’s own office. The first photo shows a graphics designer working on a poster. We can make out the Meizu logo at the top left corner and the words “Hi-Fi” which confirms the product is audio related. However, the big reveal is the price of the device which is a whopping ¥6999 (~$1033). But that’s not all.

Meizu Astell&Kern

The second photo shows the product in a retail box with a blue-pink gradient design. Written on the box is “Meizu x Astell&Kern”. This means the product is a collaboration between Meizu and Astell&Kern.

Astell&Kern is a South Korean-owned electronics company owned by Iriver. Iriver itself was formed back in 1999 by seven former Samsung employees. The company manufactures media players, headphones, portable Hi-Fi audio players, and home theater products. We checked out their site and then we understood why Meizu’s product costs over $1,000.
