Since the announcement of the February 20 launch date for the flagship Mi 9, the tech space has been buzzing with one detail or the other popping up. We recently saw the real-life image of the Mi 9 pop up online as well as the protective case the company will be releasing alongside the phone. A Xiaomi official has now shared a camera sample shot by the Mi 9.

As already established by several leaks, the Mi 9 is expected to feature a triple rear camera setup. The main camera will have a mammoth 48MP sensor while the secondary camera will be a 12MP sensor. The third sensor will likely be a ToF camera. The camera sample can’t be said to be out of this world but the executive did state that the purpose of sharing the sample is for us to get a look at the powerful resolution of the rear camera. Unfortunate, Weibo has done some compression but the picture is well pixelated such that it doesn’t become blurry when zoomed in, thanks to the 48MP main sensor.

Xiaomi has already featured a 48MP sensor on the Redmi Note 7 released recently. But instead of a Samsung ISOCELL GM1 Ultra Clear sensor, the main sensor will likely be the SonyIMX600 sensor used in the Huawei P/Mate series flagship and having a higher super-sensing area. The ultra-high pixels provide more detailed performance as can be seen from the camera sample above. We’ll have to wait for more samples captured under varying lighting conditions to know the full prowess of the Mi 9 triple rear cameras.

UPDATED: Check out some more camera samples from the Mi 9 below.

Google is going to launch the cheaper Google Pixel 3 Lite for the price-sensitive customers. Although there are no confirmations from Google side, but multiple leaks and reports speculate its launch soon. Even the pricing details are unknown, but it will surely be less than the iPhone XR.

Lenovo could soon re-launch music-focused mobile sub-brand Lemeng Mobile

Feb 14, 2019

Many smartphone brands, especially China-based manufacturers, have adopted the strategy of launching smartphone sub-brands to target different segments of the market. Now, it seems that Lenovo is also all set to jump the bandwagon.

A new Weibo account has surfaced with the name “Lemeng Mobile” which was also shared with the account of Lenovo Mobile on Weibo. Further, information on the new brand’s Weibo account reveals that it is a part of Beijing Lenovo Group, confirming that the Lemeng Mobile is a sub-brand of Lenovo Mobile.

Today, the microblogging account of Lemeng Mobile posted that the company will be holding a meeting at Lenovo’s Beijing headquarters park to decide about the brand’s future going forward. If the brand is actually getting launched, it remains to be seen how it will distinguish itself from devices from Lenovo.

However, this is not a new brand coming out of Lenovo. The brand Lemeng Mobile previously existed and was focused on making music-focused phones. However, the brand was discontinued a few years ago and now it seems that Lenovo is rebooting the same brand.

Earlier this year, Xiaomi’s Redmi brand split from the parent company to work as an independent brand. After splitting, it launched the Redmi Note 7 smartphone, which has been well-received by the users. It is all set to launch Redmi Note 7 Pro and has recently launched Redmi Go — an Android Go-powered phone.

Last year, Oppo’s sub-brand Realme also split from the parent company and has taken the Indian budget smartphone market by storm. Within a year of its launch, the brand has established its presence in seven countries — India, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Phillippines, and Egypt. So far, the company has launched five smartphones and a couple of accessories and lifestyle products.

Huawei, which is currently the No. 2 smartphone brand in the world, also has a sub-brand named Honor, which is focused on the budget smartphones with value-for-money offerings while the Huawei brand is focused on offering high-end premium smartphones.

While the company is selling smartphones under its Lenovo brand, the China-based company also owns Motorola Mobility, which is acquired in 2014 from Google for $2.91 billion in order to break into the US and UK markets.

Meizu Zero crowdfunding secures 34% of the goal amount in 15 days

Feb 14, 2019

Last month, on 30th January, Meizu officially kicked-off its plan to commercialize the Meizu Zero smartphone and launched a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo, with the order expected to start shipping in April this year.

Now, after around 15 days, Meizu Zero — the world’s first holeless smartphone — has managed to secure about 34 percent of its goal of raising $100,000. The company now has 16 days left to secure the rest of the amount to turn this concept phone into a reality.

If the company fails to raise the amount of $100,000 in the specified time limit, none of the company will go to the Chinese company and the existing 30 backers will get the refund. This is because the company chose the fixed goal route in which the campaign only receives funding when the goal is reached within the deadline.

In terms of specifications, the Meizu Zero features a 5.99-inch curved OLED panel with full HD+ resolution of 2160 x 1080 pixels. It is equipped with mSound 2.0 technology which makes it possible for the smartphone to emit sound from the screen which eliminates the need for earpiece and external speaker.

The screen of the smartphone is also embedded with an in-display fingerprint sensor — something that almost all flagship smartphones have adopted. The device also comes with an IP68 certified for dustproof and waterproof to keep it completely sealed and there’s no opening on the device.

Since there’s no holes and buttons, the smartphone is equipped with linear motor-powered pressure-sensitive virtual buttons for power ON/OFF and volume up/down functions. The rear panel of the smartphone is made up of ceramic. There is also no SIM card slot on the device but it carries support for eSIM.

The company has dubbed the smartphone as “Exclusive Engineer Unit”, priced at $1,299, and is said to be handmade by Meizu’s engineers. This also raises a question related to the company’s ability to mass-produce this model. There’s also another version tagged “Exclusive Pioneering Unit” and with a $2,999 price tag but that version is sold out as just a single unit was available. The smartphone will be offered in Black and White color options.

Huawei’s new EMUI 9 update brings support for two profiles in facial recognition feature

Feb 14, 2019

Huawei, the world’s No. 2 smartphone brand, has announced a new update for its Android-based custom mobile operating system — EMUI 9. In the new update, the company has upgraded the facial unlock feature to support two faces.

This will enable users to store two facial profiles on their phones and could use either of them for unlocking the device. Earlier, users were allowed to keep only one profile for the facial recognition-based unlock feature.

As per the reports, the new update is currently being rolled out to only two flagship smartphones of the company — Huawei Mate 20 Pro and Huawei Mate 20 RS Porsche Edition. For those who have received the update, you can use this new feature by going through the following steps.

Navigation to the settings menu on the phone and go to “Security and Privacy.” Once you reach there, enter the “Face Unlocking” section and once you have added the first facial profile, you’ll get an option to add a “New Spare Face”. Tap that option and select “Start Entry” and “Enter the second face” to complete the process of adding another profile.

Either of the facial profile can be used for any function, including phone unlocking, application unlocking, Alipay or WeChat payment authentication, among others. EMUI also has a feature that hides the notifications until the facial recognition is done and for this also, either of the facial profiles can be used.

It remains to be seen if the company has solved the issues related to the facial recognition feature. Users had previously reported that if the facial profile was created wearable spectacles, the phone wasn’t able to authenticate when the face gets scanned without wearing the spectacles.

The EMUI 9.0 update brings various new changes along with all the features of Android 9 Pie. The customized skin comes with plenty of bug fixes and enhancements over the EMUI 8.0. The new user interface is better optimized for full view displays and carries additional AI-based features.

It also comes with GPU Turbo 2.0 which reduces the touch response of the phone by 36 percent and adds a new app assistant. Since EMUI 9 is based on Android Pie, it also gets navigation gestures. Among other features, the Android Pie also comes with Adaptive Battery which makes use of machine learning technology to improve the phone’s power management.

Samsung SM-P205 spotted on Geekbench, believed to be Galaxy Tab A (2019)

A Samsung device with model number SM-P205 was spotted on Geekbench earlier today. The device is believed to be the Galaxy Tab A (2019), a successor to the Galaxy Tab A 10.1 (2016).

The Geekbench result reveals the device runs Android 9. It is powered by the Exynos 7885 which is more powerful than the Exynos 7870 that powers the 2016 model.

The 7885 is also a 14nm chipset like the 7870 but it has 2 x Cortex A73 cores clocked at 2.2GHz and 6 x Cortex A53 cores clocked at 1.6GHz. The Exynos 7870, on the other hand, has 4 x Cortex-A53 cores clocked at 1.6GHz and 4 x Cortex A53 cores clocked at 1.0GHz. The 7885 also has a Mali-G71 MP2 as against the 7870’s Mali-T830 MP1.

There is 3GB of RAM and hopefully paired with 32GB of storage for the base model. The 2016 model, which I own, has 16GB of storage with 3GB of RAM. We hope there is a 64GB model too.

This model above is expected to come with a stylus as its model number starts with a P. Samsung tablets which have an S Pen usually have a “P” starting their model numbers.

The firmware for the phone is said to have been sported online about a month ago. Now that it has been seen on Geekbench, it is expected to launch soon.

The teaser didn’t specify if the massive sensor will be on the front or rear but an earlier leak tips the device to pack a 32MP pop-up selfie camera. Thus, the 48MP will be the main sensor at the rear.

The teaser promotes the device with the hashtag #BrilliantPortrait. apparently in reference to the powerful selfie camera it packs. The tweet also promotes the low-light camera function of the model which indicates the device will have the AI super night mode feature.

Huawei Y6 Pro (2019) vs Moto G7 Play vs Realme C1 (2019): Specs Comparison

Feb 13, 2019

Huawei just launched a new entry-level phone in the Philippines: the new Huawei Y6 Pro (2019). To be honest, it is not really new, it already debuted in Sri Lanka about two weeks ago with a leather back. But the variant that just hitten the Philippines has no leather back and comes with a very affordable price. That is why we decided to compare with other recent entry-levels that catalyzed a lot of attention in the last period: the new and long-awaited Moto G7 Play by Motorola and the Realme C1 (2019) from the first Oppo’s sub-brand. Who will win? Go ahead with this specs comparison to discover it.

Huawei Y6 Pro (2019) vs Motorola Moto G7 Play vs Oppo Realme C1 (2019)

	Huawei Y6 Pro (2019)	Motorola Moto G7 Play	Oppo Realme C1 2019
DIMENSIONS AND WEIGHT	156.28 x 73.5 x 8 mm	147.3 x 71.5 x 8 mm, 149 grams	156.2 x 75.6 x 8.2 mm, 168 grams

Design

Nowadays, even entry-level handsets such as these ones come with a pretty elegant and attractive design. Among these handsets, the one that comes with a better look, in my opinion, is the Huawei Y6 Pro (2019). I like it because of its very small dewdrop notch on the upper side of the display, unlike its rivals that come with big and silly notches. While Huawei Y6 Pro (2019) dominates the entry-level scene with its cool design, Moto G7 Play shines for its build quality. Indeed, it is splash resistant and it also comes with a display protected by Corning’s Gorilla Glass 3 (only in selected markets, so make sure to check the specs sheet when the phone will hit your zone). Also note that the Moto G7 Play is the only to rock a fingerprint reader, it is placed under the rear camera. Oppo Realme C1 2019 is not a big deal when it comes to aesthetics.

Display

The display is the weak point of low-end handsets. These devices offer just an HD+ resolution, so they are not the best in terms of definition. But they have sufficient displays with decent detail and the IPS technology. I would choose my favorite one basing on the size of the display and the notch. If you want a compact device that is easy to use with one hand, go for the Moto G7 Play, if you want the biggest and most comfortable screen, then choose Realme C1 2019 and if you want the smallest notch, go for the Huawei Y6 Pro 2019.

Specs & Software

Here we have the most important differences. Moto G7 Play comes with the midrange-class Snapdragon 632 chipset that is an upgrade of Snapdragon 625 and 626 (not better than Snapdragon 630, though), while Huawei Y6 Pro 2019 and Realme C1 2019 have entry-level chipsets. Despite Moto G7 Play comes with less RAM (just 2 GB against 3 GB on the most expensive variants of Huawei Y6 Pro 2019 and Realme C1 2019), I would choose the Moto G7 Play for its faster SoC.

Camera

The camera department that wins this comparison is the one present on the Moto G7 Play, at least on the paper. It has a decent focal aperture for an entry-level handset, and it is the only that can record videos with 4K resolution. Further, it comes with a pretty nice front camera equipped with a front-facing LED flash. The second place goes to the Huawei Y6 Pro 2019 for its brighter aperture, even though Realme C1 is the only rear dual camera phone boasting an additional depth sensor. We chose the Huawei Y6 Pro 2019 as the second camera phone of this comparison because of its good detail with several light conditions and its better front camera.

Battery

Realme C1 (2019) is equipped with a mammoth battery: 4230 mAh is an infinite capacity for an entry-level handset. Indeed, it is one of the battery champions of 2019. Its opponent can nowhere compete with the Realme C1 2019, just like most of the other entry-level devices.

Price

Huawei Y6 Pro (2019), Moto G7 Play and Realme C1 2019 cost about €120/$135, €150/$170 and €100/$110, respectively. Moto G7 Play wins this comparison because of its excellent build quality, good cameras, fingerprint reader and very nice chipset. But Realme C1 2019 with its huge battery offers the ghivalue for money.

Feb 13, 2019

The Galaxy A50 is one of the A-series smartphones Samsung is scheduled to release this year. A couple of its specs have leaked in the past few weeks and now a Brazilian certification has confirmed its battery capacity.

The phone’s battery has been certified by Brazil’s telecommunications agency which is known as ANATEL. The battery has model number EB-BA505ABU and a nominal battery capacity of 3,900mAh (~4,000mAh). The Galaxy A50 appeared on Geekbench as the SM-A505FN, so we are pretty sure this is its battery.

Although the Galaxy A50’s battery is smaller than that of the Galaxy M20 (5000mAh), it is bigger than that of the Galaxy M10 (3,400mAh). It has the same 6.2-inch display and it should be able to last a bit more than a day paired with the Exynos 9610 processor.

Geekbench already revealed that the Galaxy A50 will have 4GB of RAM and it is expected to be paired with 64GB of storage. Samsung may also announce a 6GB RAM variant with 128GB of storage.

Samsung recently launched its all-new Galaxy M-series smartphones in the Indian market — Samsung Galaxy M10 and Galaxy M20. The company is now gearing up to launch the third smartphone in this new lineup — Samsung Galaxy M30, but the exact the launch date is not yet known.

Now, the upcoming Samsung Galaxy M30 has passed through the FCC certification process, which reveals some new information. It suggests that the phone could come with a Super AMOLED display, which is missing in the Galaxy M10 and Galaxy M20.

Earlier, the phone’s renders were leaked online, revealing its design. It also revealed that the phone will come with triple camera sensors on the back along with an LED flash, positioned vertically in the top-left corner. There’s also a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor for added security.

The Samsung Galaxy M30 is expected to come with a 6.4-inch Super AMOLED Infinity-V display with support for Full HD+ screen resolution (2220 x 1080 pixels). The phone, which will feature minimal bezels, will house its front-facing camera in the V-shaped bezel on top of the display.

Coming to the camera sensors, the phone could come with a 16-megapixel front-facing snapper along with support for face unlock feature. On the back side, the device will feature a 13-megapixel primary sensor and two 5-megapixel sensors along with an LED flash.

Under the hood, the device will be powered by the company’s own Exynos 7904 chipset, along with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. We are also expecting another variant with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage.

Connectivity options on the device will include dual-band Wi-Fi a/b/g/n/ac, Wi-Fi Direct, Bluetooth, a USB Type-C port, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. As for the software, it’ll come pre-installed with Android 9 Pie-based One UI. The phone will be powered by a 5,000mAh battery which could easily last through a day on a single charge.

Feb 13, 2019

Xiaomi‘s tremendous progress in the Indian smartphone market is again in the spotlight, thanks to the International Data Corporation’s (IDC) Asia/Pacific Quarterly Mobile Phone Tracker that has just been released. The market data reveal a 14.5% YoY growth in 2018 as the industry shipped 142.3 million units and Xiaomi had the lion share.

The data shows that the company known as the “Apple” of China had a pretty successful year in 2018 with a total shipment of 41.1 million units shipped. This happens to be the largest shipment by any of the top brands in India. The shipment gives Xiaomi a market share of 28.9%. On the other hand, global market leader Samsung shipped a total of 31.9 million phones giving it a market share of 22.4%. BBK subsidiaries Vivo and Oppo also won big in India with a market share of 10% and 7.2% as well as shipments of 14.2 million and 10.2 million smartphones respectively. Little known Chinese company Transsion, owners of brands like Infinix, Tecno completes the top 5 for 2018.

Xiaomi is expected to consolidate on this lead in India with its Pocophone and Redmi brands alongside the Mi brand. IDC’s report shows the Redmi series contributed tremendously to the growth of the brand. Xiaomi’s Redmi 5A and Redmi Note 5/Pro series emerged as the fastest selling devices of 2018 across brands, driving 10 million shipments each in the entire year. Another contributory factor was the opening of more offline stores in rural areas while consolidating on its online sales. Xiaomi is still the king of online sales with a share of 47.2% while the IDC report shows the Chinese company became the second largest OEM in terms of offline sales.
