Following the launch of the Nokia 2V and the Nokia 3.1 Plus in the USA, HMD Global is planning to launch yet another phone in the North American company. This time around, it is bringing the Nokia 5.1 Plus and it will be available unlocked.
The Nokia 5.1 Plus first launched in China as the Nokia X5 back in July last year. It later arrived as the Android One Nokia 5.1 Plus in other markets. The phone is already listed on B&H for $199.99 with availability in 7 to 10 business days.
The phone comes in three variants – 3GB RAM + 32GB, 4GB RAM + 64GB, and 6GB RAM + 64GB. Unfortunately, the listing doesn’t state which variant will be available for sale. It doesn’t even list the specs save for revealing it will have dual SIM support and be available in white.
Unlike the Android list which is filled with phones, the iOS list is a mix of smartphones and tablets. The 11-inch iPad Pro 2018 is even at the top of the list with a total score of 562,279 points. The 12.9-inch model comes next with a score of 553,258 points. Both iPads are powered by the Apple A12X Bionic which has four 2.5GHz Vortex cores and four 1.6GHz Tempest cores.
The first iPhone on the list is the iPhone XS with a score of 361,035 points. It is followed by the iPhone XS Max and the iPhone XR. All three phones have the A12 Bionic chipset under their hoods. Unlike the A12X which has four Vortex cores, the A12 has just two but keeps the same number of Tempest cores. It also has four GPU cores instead of the A12X’s seven.
US fabless chip maker Qualcomm went official with its latest premium mid-range chipset dubbed Snapdragon 712 a couple of days back. The latest iteration of the Snapdragon 700 series is the second after the Snapdragon 710 was released last year. The SD712 uses the same 10nm FinFET process as the Snapdragon 710 and also integrates eight Kryo 360 CPU cores and the Adreno 616 GPU, but has 10% improved performance than the Snapdragon 710.
With just 10% improvement over the Snapdragon 710, one wonders the essence of the chipset as some may not consider it much of an upgrade. However, Qualcomm has now come out to disclose some more details of the Snapdragon 712. Qualcomm says the SDM712 mobile platform not only inherits all the AI intelligence and top features of the previous generation Snapdragon 710 mobile platform, but it also enhances the gaming and other experience through performance. Details of how the enhanced gaming experience is achieved weren’t disclosed but we believe that is tied to the slightly higher 2.3GHz clock frequency which the new chipset achieves over the Snapdragon 710.
An official of Qualcomm is reported to have hinted that compared to the Snapdragon 710, the Snapdragon 712 achieved a 10% performance improvement, not only bringing technical improvements to multimedia and other mobile experiences but also bringing higher efficiency and more economic benefits. The Snapdragon 712 processor is said to be capable of achieving faster processing speed and graphics rendering during gaming, allowing heavy games, multiplayer games and other types of games to run smoothly and respond quickly. At the same time, Qualcomm emphasized that the Adreno 616 GPU is designed to enjoy host-like gaming quality and cinematic movie experience on smartphones, capable of rendering more than 1 billion colors. The audio aspect is also improved to deliver superb sound quality and more immersive gaming experience.
In addition to enhanced game features, the Snapdragon 712 integrates the X15 LTE modem to support multiple enhanced 4G LTE features, as well as support for 4×4 MIMO and Licensed-Assisted Access (LAA). According to the official, the download speed of the Snapdragon 712 is more than twice that of the traditional LTE Advanced. On the camera aspect, the Snapdragon 712 uses the Qualcomm Spectra 250 camera ISP, which supports 10-bit color depth and supports 4K video capture. In addition, static shooting is enhanced; multi-frame noise reduction allows users to take multiple photos at the same time. Finally, the Snapdragon 712 also supports Qualcomm Quick Charge 4+ technology, and the official said that it takes only 15 minutes for the battery to charge from 0% to 50%.
The Chinese New Year holidays are over and things are expected to pick up pretty fast in the Chinese mobile phone industry. Earlier today, Meizu released a poster to announce that it has an event scheduled for February 14.
The poster which counts down to the event has a silhouette of what appears to be a phone with sound waves emanating from it. There is also some Chinese text which we believe are lyrics from a song written on the poster.
Prior to today’s poster, Meizu shared an image on its Weibo account yesterday that shows the Meizu 16th mobile phone against a background of words related to music awards. There is also a sound wave on the poster. There are speculations both are connected and tease the arrival of Meizu’s AI voice assistant and or its own smart speaker. We believe the silhouette of the phone on the first poster might be hinting at the arrival of the Meizu Note 9.
There are a lot of gossips about the upcoming Apple devices, especially the accessories. As per the new information via MySmartPrice, Apple AirPods 2 will resemble the current AirPods design with improved performance and efficiency. The second-generation Apple AirPods is set to carry various new improvements and is slated for launch later this year. Although currently nothing has been officially confirmed from the Apple side, it is believed to carry Bluetooth 5.0 Low Energy standard.
AirPod 2 Specs
As far as the design and other specs are concerned, there are not many jaw-dropping changes. It will look identical to present the Apple AirPods design. There will be significant changes in overall performance and sound quality. The Cupertino giant seems to have worked a lot to bring an impressive bass response to the AirPods 2. It will carry improved coating as like Google Pixel smartphones to resist slipping issues.
Furthermore, there will be some new sensors which will allow users to get health features. Users can measure heart rate with the AirPods 2. Although, there are no constructive details about its battery life. Apple is expected to retail it in two colour options of Black and White at the price of $200.
The launch date is still yet unknown, but we expect it to launch somewhere in Spring.
AirPower Wireless Charging Pad
There are many speculations about the AirPower Wireless Charging Pad. As per our sources, it will launch in Spring alongside the AirPods 2. The new wireless charging pad will be thicker due to the 8-7-7 coil configuration. It is expected to be available for the price of $150 at launch.
Apple is preparing to launch the Wireless Charging Pad very soon as they are even working on the teasers and other telemarketing materials. AirPower Wireless Charging Pad will work with all the latest and old iPhones featuring wireless charging capability.
The Cupertino giant is still doing reasearch on the new wireless charging product. They ought to bring some exclusive feature to it.
In the final quarter of 2018, the shipment of Apple’s iPhone have reportedly declined by 20 percent in China, one of the world’s largest market. This is happening at a time when China’s homegrown Huawei is tightening its grip in the market and recently dethroned Apple from the second position in the world’s top selling smartphone brands.
According to a report from IDC, the domestic market contracted 9.7 percent in the quarter, but Apple declined at about twice that pace. The report further attributes the decline of iPhone sales to three major factors — a slowing economy, lengthening replacement times and the iPhone’s hefty price tag.
However, as per the IDC report, the iPhone maker isn’t the worst performing brand as Xiaomi Corp, another China-based company, fared even worse in the final months of last year as its shipments plunged almost 35 percent. As per the IDC report, Apple was was ranked fourth by shipments in the country during the period, behind China’s Huawei, Oppo and Vivo.
The smartphone users of brands like Apple is now contending with a plateauing global market after years of breakneck growth. The main reason for this is believed to be the lack of innovation, which discourages consumers from replacing devices as often as they used to.
The US-based company’s revenue from the iPhone slid 15 percent in the October to December period. To compensate for the loss, Apple is trying to replace phone sales with revenue from services. Apple CEO Tim Cook has seen China as a key part of Apple’s strategy. In the last fiscal year, it generated almost $52 billion in revenue from Greater China, a region that includes Hong Kong.
However, with the country announcing its slowest economic growth since 2009, Apple said its sales fell 27 percent in the holiday quarter. The Chinese slowdown was also the driving factor behind Apple’s first revenue outlook cut in almost two decades.
On the other hand, Huawei, which surpassed Apple to become the world’s No. 2 smartphone brand in 2018, remains the leader in its home market. The company shored up its lead after unit shipments soared 23.3 percent in the December quarter, leading all major brands.
About a month ago, Xiaomi unveiled the Mi Powerbank 3 Pro which is the third-generation of power bank the Chinese firm is launching. Xiaomi has got quite a number of power banks in the market but the Mi Powerbank 3 Pro takes things to an entirely new level. The stand out feature, apart from its huge 20,000mAh capacity, is the 45W USP PD input and output support it comes with. The powerful output capacity can charge small and like notebooks such as Apple MacBook, Xiaomi Notebook laptop, Lenovo ThinkPad, Dell and HP notebooks. It can also charge mobile phones and tablets as well. In addition, this mobile power supply also supports a small current charging mode, which can charge small power devices such as Bluetooth headsets and smart bands. The Mi Powerbank 3 Pro has now been dismantled, showing how the setup works.
The Xiaomi Mi Powerbank 3 Pro utilises two USB Type-A and one bi-directional USB Type-C, all supporting multiple fast charging protocols. Among them, the USB-C interface supports 45W USB PD input and output. Through the disassembly of the charging head network, it was found that many innovations and breakthroughs were made on the circuit of the Mi Powerbank 3 Pro in order to accommodate the new features. It features Renesas ISL9238, Jiehuaite JW3651 two surge voltage chips which are quite rare in USB PD mobile power. While the ISL9238 is responsible for USB-C port bi-directional charging and discharging, the JW3651 is responsible for USB-A port fast charging output as well as independent power supply architecture to meet the output of different needs.
In addition, the Mi Powerbank 3 Pro internals show it is equipped with TI BQ29200 battery voltage equalization chip for the integration of two string batteries. Three fast-charging protocols such as QC are implemented using three Scorpio FP6601Q. USB PD fast charging is implemented by using ZMi’s own protocol handshake chip. The powerbank uses two 10,000mAh batteries to give a robust 20,000mAh capacity. In order to enhance heat dissipation, the device comes with a large amount of graphite thermal paste inside to reduce the temperature increase of the board.
Overall, the workmanship and materials used for the Mi Powerbank 3 Pro look solid. The middle frame is designed with multiple roll cages, combined with composite materials in order to give it stability, shock resistance, fire protection and others. The fly in the ointment is that although the multi-layer housing has improved the stability of the product, it also increases the size and weight. Check out the dismantling pictures from below.

Apple’s upcoming A13 chipset is in the news from the past sometime. It is going to make its place in the future Apple products such as Laptops and iPhones. The new powerful SoC will give competition to the newly launched Qualcomm Snapdragon 855. Many leaks and rumors have almost unveiled its every detail, but still, nothing has been confirmed by the Cupertino Giant. Today, TSMC CEO Wei Zhejiaha confirmed that they are the exclusive partner of Apple to manufacture the A13 chip in 2019.
Already, TSMC is developing the chipsets for Apple devices. As per the internal sources, TSMC will use the new 7-nanometer process to manufacture the A13 chips. Moreover, the chip foundry giant will start mass producing the A13 chips in the second quarter of this year. It will use the enhanced 7-nanometer process by extreme ultraviolet technology (EUV).
As per reports, the new A13 is being called ‘Lightning’ with the model number T8030. As per the recent leak from a renowned source, it will take place in MacBooks. As like of the Huawei and Samsung, Apple is also keen to announce their slim notebooks.
Following the production, TSMC manufactured 56% of the global foundry market in 2018. Similarly, they are cooperating with other giants for foundry production this year. Already, they are also working with Huawei, Qualcomm, and other chipmakers. They have become the exclusive partner to manufacture Apple’s A13 chips.
Further, TSMC CEO Wei Zhejia said that the company is expected to gain 25% of total revenue by manufacturing the chips on the 7nm process. He even proclaimed that the 7-nanometer portfolio would tremendously increase this year. Vast demand from high-end computing and the automotive market will fuel the growth of 7nm chip.
TSMC expects 2019 to be the “deceleration year” for the company. The overall industry growth will remain the same as like of the last year.
Moreover, Apple is expected to debut another chipset before the launch of A13 later this year. Most probably it is going to be the A12X with improved performance and efficiency over the A12 Bionic chipset.
Motorola is expected to soon introduce the RAZR 2019 clamshell phone with foldable screen in the next few months. The deign of the phone has been already through the images that have surfaced through its patent filings. Popular designer Waqar Khan has created realistic renders of the Moto RAZR 2019 foldable phone based on its patent images and rumors surrounding it.
The concept video begins by showing the black variant of the Moto RAZR 2019 foldable phone. The rear view of the phone reveals that the upper and lower halves of the phone are attached to each other by means of a hinge. When the device is folded, it treats users with a small-sized display on the front. A camera is placed below the display which serves as a front-facing shooter when the RAZR 2019 is closed and it can be used as a rear-facing snapper when the device is opened.
The lower half of the device has a Motorola batwing logo which is said to be equipped with a fingerprint reader. Once the device is opened, the marvelous elongated screen of the Moto RAZR 2019 phone can be seen. Above the tall aspect ratio display, there is a notch that features an earpiece and some sensors. Unlike the yesteryear RAZR series phones that sport very slim design, the RAZR 2019 concept model has a slightly thicker appeal when closed. Apart from Black, the renders show the Moto RAZR 2019 concept model in Silver, Blue and Red colors.
A recent report on The Wall Street Journal had revealed that the Moto RAZR 2019 will be hitting the U.S. markets with a price tag of $1,500. It had also revealed that the Verizon Wireless will be exclusively selling the RAZR 2019 phone in the country. Initially, the company may produce 200,000 units of its foldable smartphone.

Google is expected to release less-powerful variants of its Pixel 3 smartphones. Months ago, live images and even a hands-on video of one of the phones called the Pixel 3 Lite leaked on the web. The second phone is expected to launch as the Pixel 3 XL Lite.
According to reports, the Pixel 3 Lite will be powered by a Snapdragon 670 processor while the Pixel 3 XL Lite will have a Snapdragon 710 processor under its hood. However, a device which is said to be the Pixel 3 Lite was seen on Geekbench yesterday and it is powered by a less-powerful and older processor.
The device was benchmarked as the “Google Pixel 3A”. It runs Android 10 and rather than a Snapdragon 670 processor, it is powered by the MSM8953 a.k.a. Snapdragon 625. It also has just 2GB of RAM.
Is this really the Pixel 3 Lite? We do not think so. This might probably just be a test device just like the “Pixel 4” that showed up a few days ago on the same platform with 2GB of RAM too. Also, unlike other devices powered by the Snapdragon 625 processor (Mi A1, Redmi Note 4, and BlackBerry KEYone), the Google Pixel 3A’s base frequency is 1.80 GHz instead of 2.02 GHz. Its multi-core score is also pretty low.
After several rumours and leaks, Samsung has finally launched the new Galaxy A8s Unicorn edition aka FE (Female Edition) about which we read earlier. It is available in two gradient colour combination of pink yellow and pink blue to match Valentine’s eve. It is available from the JD.com at the price of 2799 Yuan which roughly translates to $412. The new Galaxy A8s Unicorn Edition carries similar specs as like of the standard variant.
The phone remains identical to the normal version in terms of design and specs. There is hardly any change in terms of specs. As per the official spec sheet, Galaxy A8s Unicorn Edition packs a Qualcomm Snapdragon 710 Soc coupled with Adreno 616 GPU. It features a 6.6-inch Full HD+ (2340 x 1080 pixels) Infinity-O display having an aspect ratio of 19.5:9. The new Unicorn Edition comes with a 6GB RAM and 128 GB of internal storage. It follows the new trend of ditching the 3.5 mm jack instead of USB-C interface.
In-camera, Samsung has added a 24-megapixel primary sensor, 10-megapixel telephoto sensors with 2X optical zoom and 5-megapixel depth sensor. The Korean giant has brought a huge 24-megapixel selfie camera on the front side. Samsung Galaxy A8s Unicorn Edition measures 158 x 74 x 7.4 mm and weighs over 173 grams. It runs on Android 8.0 Oreo out of the box.
The new Samsung Galaxy A8s Unicorn edition carries “magic mirror” feature also. It allows users to use the display as a mirror by activating the feature from the bixby button.
Last year, in November, Richard Yu, CEO of Huawei Technologies, revealed in an interview to CNBC that the company is working on developing augmented reality (AR) glasses that could be connected to a smartphone.
While Richard Yu didn’t reveal more information about the device, a newly published patent application of Huawei suggests that the Chinese company is also exploring the development of AR glasses that can be connected to a smartwatch, which will be connected to a smartphone.
The patent, filed by Huawei Technologies, was published in the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) on 7th February. Titled ‘Eyeglass Frame’, the patent describes a lightweight, discrete and relatively inexpensive AR headset.
Going by the patent, it seems that the slim glasses can be used as an Augmented Reality headset. Interestingly, the glasses do not have a camera, display or microphone and the user will need to have a smartwatch.
The Huawei AR glasses are further equipped with an adapter and a mirror. While the adapter is placed close to the smartwatch, the content is displayed on the smartwatch display via the mirror. The device also supports audio playback.
The patent shows two different frames in the illustrations, but the placement of the smartwatch is the same. However, there’s a slight difference in the spectacle feet. For the glasses, both a transparent and semi-transparent optical element can be used.
Before the Huawei AR glasses launches in the market, the company will probably launch a smartwatch with a camera module first given that none of Huawei’s current smartwatches come with support for camera sensors.
Earlier, in an interview with CNBC, Richard Yu had suggested the timeline for the launch of this Huawei AR glasses. It could get launched by the end of this year or early next year. However, there’s no confirmation if the device will be similar to the one shown in this patent or something different.
Apart from Huawei, another smartphone manufacturer — Apple is also reportedly working on an augmented reality-based glasses that can be connected to iPhone and are speculated to launch in a year or two.

The new era technologies are taking over the old ones with better features and safety nets. The latest 5G technology is still evolving, and every major manufacturer and service provider is looking to get their hands on first. It has even lead to some false claims in the market, which are misleading the end consumers. Similarly, two United States carriers are fighting over a similar instance. A major telecom carrier in the US has sued another telecom carrier for calling their advanced 4G LTE network as “5G Evolution”.
In detail, Sprint took the above instance seriously and went ahead to file a lawsuit against AT&T. It has filed a lawsuit to ban the use of “5GE” term on the customers’ devices. Even, they are also seeking an injunction to prevent the use of “5GE” tags while advertising and marketing.
Sprint said that AT&T is labeling an advanced 5G LTE (Long Term Evolution) as 5G and deceiving customers. In a lawsuit of 23 pages filed at federal court in New York, Sprint claims that “AT&T has employed numerous deceptive tactics to mislead consumers into believing that it currently offers a coveted and highly anticipated fifth-generation wireless network, known as 5G. What AT&T touts as 5G, however, is nothing more than an enhanced fourth-generation Long Term Evolution wireless service, known as 4G LTE Advanced, which is offered by all other major wireless carriers.”
Sprint consolidated it stand by saying that they have invested a lot of capital in building 5G network in nine cities this year. Even though AT&T is also working on to develop the 5G network across States but the marketing and advertisement practices they have adopted are wrong. They are wrongly using the 5GE term to label the advanced 4G LTE network leading an unfair advantage over other carriers. They emphasized that 5G networks will be 10-40 times faster than the current 4G LTE advanced networks. AT&T is deceiving the customers to make them believe the old networks as 5G.
In response, AT&T said that they are not deceiving anyone and would fight the lawsuit. They are terming 5GE network as “an evolutionary step to standards-based 5G.” AT&T further said “We understand why our competitors don’t like what we are doing, but our customers love it,”
It made us go back into the initial launch days of 4G when similar issues were seen between AT&T and T-Mobile. Although, we believe the court will bring justice to what is right.

Huawei saw around 45.2 percent growth in terms of chip spending and thus managed to jump ahead of Dell and Lenovo to grab the third spot. Dell and Lenovo trails behind Huawei with 29.6 and 16.4 percent growth.
The report also reveals that eight of the top 10 companies in 2017 remained in the top 10 in 2018, with Kingston Technology and Xiaomi replacing LG Electronics and Sony. Xiaomi rose eight places to the 10th position, increasing its semiconductor spending by $2.7 billion in 2018, a 63 percent growth year-over-year.
The Gartner report says that the continued market consolidation in the PC and smartphone markets had a significant impact on the semiconductor buyers’ ranking. The big Chinese smartphone OEMs, in particular, have increased their market domination by taking out or purchasing competitors.
Thus, as a result, semiconductor spending by the top 10 OEMs increased significantly, and their share reached 40.2 percent of the total semiconductor market in 2018, up from 39.4 percent in 2017. The report adds that the trend is expected to continue, which will make it harder for semiconductor vendors to maintain high margins.
Gartner also predicts that the share of total memory chip revenue in the total semiconductor market will be 33 percent in 2019 and 34 percent in 2020, higher than its 31 percent share in 2017.
