Xiaomi suffers loss as truck transporting Mi phones is looted in India

Phone theft is one of the global epidemics which has refused to go. According to Consumer Reports, 3.1 million Americans were the victims of smartphone theft in 2013, up from 1.6 million in 2012. Another form of phone theft is carried out by raiding retail stores. Until recently, we never thought trucks conveying phones will be the target of robbers since the trucks are usually unmarked. But in India, it is fast becoming a thing.xiaomi

A truck conveying Xiaomi cell phones has reportedly been robbed in India. The truck which was transporting Mi phones worth Rs 1 crore was on its way to Kolkata from Sri City. The robbery took place at a truck lay-by bay where the driver had stopped to rest for a while. The driver was then beaten and tied to a tree and then drove his truck away. The miscreants, who were said to be about four in number, reportedly stopped the vehicle at a nearby village where they transferred the cell phones to another unidentified truck and fled with the spoils. Locals, who found the driver tied to the tree, rescued him and informed the police, who swung into action to trace the truck.

The Indian Police force is already investigating the incident which they believe was preplanned and is suspected to have got the cooperation of company “insider”. The truck was an unmarked one so it is highly likely that the robbers had prior knowledge of what was inside. We do hope the crime gets unravelled soon but until then, Xiaomi India may have to device stricter security protocols for transporting its cargo.

Xiaomi will be launching the Xiaomi Mi 9 flagship phone on Feb. 20. Last year, the company had announced the Mi 8 Explorer Edition smartphone along with Xiaomi Mi 8. Hence, some rumors have claimed that the Mi 9 Explorer Edition phone will be also debuting alongside the Mi 9. A leaked render of the Mi 9 Explorer Edition with four rear-facing cameras is now doing rounds on Weibo. However, there has been no official confirmation on its existence from the company. Today, Xiaomi co-founder Wang Chuan has confirmed that the Mi 9 Explorer Edition is the most powerful smartphone in the world.

 

Chuan has claimed that he has been using the Xiaomi Mi 9 Explorer Edition since some time and it is the most powerful mobile phone in the planet. He has also said that the handset will be equipped with one additional camera. Also, the smartphone has some surprises for its fans. The Mi 8 Explorer Edition from last year featured a transparent rear. There is a possibility that its successor may come with a similar appeal. Since the predecessor phone was praised for its appearance, the Mi 9 Explorer Edition may come with a radical design.

Xiaomi Mi 9 Explorer Edition confirmed by Wang Chuan

There is no information available on the specifications of the Mi 9 Explorer Edition. Like the Mi 9, the Mi 9 Explorer Edition is likely to be powered by the Snapdragon 855 SoC. The Xiaomi Mi 8 was introduced with 6 GB of RAM whereas the Mi 8 Explorer Edition had arrived with 8 GB of RAM. The Chinese manufacturer may offer higher specs on the Mi 9 Explorer Edition than the Mi 9 phone.

The company is already selling the Black Shark Helo and Xiaomi Mi MIX 3 in 10 GB RAM versions in China. Hence, there is a possibility that the Mi 9 Explorer Edition could be equipped with 10 GB of RAM. There is a possibility that it may offer a higher screen space than the Mi 9 by featuring a notch-less display.

Like its predecessor, it comes equipped with in-display fingerprint reader. An earpiece is placed between the upper bezel and top edge of the device.

This is coming as the US government continues to push its allies to block the Chinese company from proving their 5G hardware. The US thinks, unsubstantiated though, that Huawei’s equipment could be used for spying by the Chinese government. The latest move by the US is said to be an executive order banning the use of Huawei’s 5G equipment by US carriers. The Q&A is aimed at salvaging any public goodwill still left out there for Huawei. Already the US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Japan have locked Huawei from providing the 5G hardware. Several countries in Europe are said to be considering a similar move and are currently examining their stance. The US is likely to influence Europe’s decision considering a recent statement by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo that Washington may be forced to scale back certain operations in Europe and elsewhere if countries continue to do business with Huawei.

In its Q&A, Huawei says there has never been a major security breach in its 30 years of business but if evidence is produced, it will be addressed “directly”. The Chinese company also asserts that despite numerous “inaccurate reports in the media”, Chinese law does not require it to install “back doors” in networks and other equipment. The company continues to deny any untoward connections with the Chinese military or security agencies. It also harps on the need for countries to recognise the importance of setting better common standards, adopting ­industry best practices and implementing risk-mitigation procedures to ensure that there is an objective basis for choosing technology vendors. It is quite unclear if this US clampdown is an escalation of the US-China trade war or the concerns are 100% genuine. What do you think? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section.

Xiaomi raises alarm over fraudulent issuance of fake Mi Store franchise in India

Xiaomi‘s dramatic five-year sojourn in India has been an exciting one which has seen the company rise through the ranks to emerge as India’s top-most smartphone vendor for 2018. The company’s success has been mostly due to the aggressive online and offline strategy that is in use. As they say, success has so many friends. Xiaomi’s success has attracted quite a number of friends but some are coming to the party with evil intentions. The company’s India CEO Manu Jain has alerted the public of a new scam being carried out in India presently.

According to the CEO of Xiaomi India, Manu Jain, a new scam has been detected in which a few retailers have been hoodwinked into procuring fake Xiaomi India franchise. The CEO shared a couple of documents with his signature appended on them but says they are all fake documents and that his signatures were forged. He didn’t indicate if any of such franchise running on the fake approval as been identified and shut down. The post wasn’t also explicit on ways fans can detect fake Mi Stores if there is any in India. However, Mr Jain disclosed that a case has been filed with India’s cybercrime department and is currently under investigation by the police.

The Xiaomi Mi 8 series began receiving the Android Pie update back in December. It already arrived on the Mi 8 and Mi 8 Explorer Edition and now it is rolling out to the Mi 8 SE.

The Mi 8 SE is an upper mid-range phone powered by a Snapdragon 710 processor. Unfortunately, Xiaomi didn’t release it outside China. The update is rolling out as MIUI 10.2.2 and you can download it from the source link if you don’t want to wait for the OTA. You wouldn’t notice any visual changes since the device already runs MIUI 10 which is heavily customized.

Mi 8 SE price cut

Xiaomi has also slashed the selling price of the Mi 8 SE. The 6GB RAM + 64GB variant is now priced at ¥1599 (~$236) instead of ¥1699 (~$250). You can grab it at this new price on JD.com or on Xiaomi’s online store. The 128G version is sold at ¥1699 (~$250). The new price applies to all color variants.

Energizer Power Max P18K vs Asus Zenfone Max Pro (M2) vs Samsung Galaxy M20: Specs Comparison

By

Energizer just launched Power Max P18K and as the company’s main business is batteries manufacturing, as expectable, it released one of the smartphones with the biggest battery ever seen on the market. Currently, Energizer is not among the most important smartphone manufacturers, but thanks to this kind of device it may earn a lot of consensuses this year. Here, we compared the new handset with the other biggest battery phones released in the last period boasting similar specifications: Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 and Samsung Galaxy M20. They do not have a so big battery, but they come with other important advantages. Go ahead with the comparison to learn about them.

Design

Besides coming with a mammoth battery, Energizer Power Max P18K Pop also has one of the most innovative aesthetics thanks to its pop-up selfie cameras, and a screen-to-body ratio close to 100 percent without a notch. But due to its huge battery, it is very thick, more than twice the thickness of its rivals. So it is not exactly the best device to have in a pocket. I personally prefer the Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 because of its more beautiful back and the strong Gorilla Glass 6 protection for the display, but some may prefer the Samsung Galaxy M20 for its higher screen-to-body ratio and its smaller notch or the Energizer Power Max P18K Pop for its more innovative design. It is all about tastes.

 

Display

We often tell you that you should not care so much about the display when you are about to choose a midrange device such as these ones, as most of the times they are equipped with similar IPS displays. That is exactly the case with these three handsets. Samsung Galaxy M20’s display should be slightly below-average, but without any noticeable difference compared to its opponents. The most interesting display is surely the IPS panel of the Energizer Power Max P18K Pop because of the absence of a notch and its incredibly narrow bezels on all the sides.

 

Specs & Software

On the paper, the Mediatek Helio P70 chipset inside the Energizer Power Max P18K Pop is superior to the Snapdragon 660 of the Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 and to the Exynos 7904 found on the Samsung Galaxy M20. The Energizer device also comes with a more powerful memory configuration boasting 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage. So, it is probably the winner when it comes to performance. It comes with stock Android just like the Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2, but unlike it, the OS is based on Android Pie. Samsung Galaxy M20 has a heavier and customized Android version based on Oreo.

 

Camera

Energizer Power Max P18K comes with a total of five cameras: three on the back and two pop-up selfie snappers on the front. On the paper, it definitely offers more, so it may be the winner even in the camera comparison. But we will have to test those cameras in order to give a definitive verdict.

 

Battery

Energizer Power Max P18K Pop comes with a monster 18,000 mAh battery, so there is no chance that Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 and Samsung Galaxy M20 will be able to reach its battery life with their 5,000 mAh. Energizer Power Max P18K Pop will be able to achieve several days of intensive usage on a single charge, while Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 can last about two or three days. Noone of these devices seems to sport a fast charging technology, so expect very slow charging times, especially for the Energizer’s flagship.

 

Price

The listing price of Energizer Power Max P18K Pop, that is also the winner of this comparison, will be probably unveiled at MWC 2019 in Las Vegas. Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 costs about €270/$305, while Samsung Galaxy M20 carries a very affordable €150/$170 price tag.

Vivo’s iQOO foldable phone renders surface; Could it be its first phone?

Earlier this week, Vivo had introduced its new sub-brand named iQOO. The new brand may launch premium phones with futuristic features. The upcoming iQOO phones are expected to cost over 5,000 Yuan (~$739). A leakster from China has shared renders of a mysterious iQOO foldable phone. Probably, it could be the company’s first smartphone.

On Feb. 20, Samsung will be launching its first foldable smartphone. Recent leaks have claimed that the handset could be called Samsung Galaxy Winner. The South Korean company has opted for a fold-in design for the phone which requires users to open it like a book to access its internal foldable display. When the device is closed, users can use it like a smartphone because of the presence of an outer screen. The leaked renders of the alleged foldable phone from iQOO shows that it will be equipped with fold-out design.

The fold-out design has a foldable screen on the outer side of the phone. As a result, it offers users with a front display and a rear screen when it is closed. The leaked renders show that it is equipped with an edge-to-edge display. There is no official confirmation on the existence of a foldable phone from Vivo-backed iQOO company.

iQOO foldable phone

Last month, Vivo had debuted the Vivo APEX 2019 concept phone with some futuristic features like port-less and button-less design, full-screen in-display fingerprint scanner, screen sound-cast technology, 12 GB of RAM and Snapdragon 855. Rumors have it that the phone may will commercially debut with a different moniker.

LG G8 ThinQ to feature Crystal Sound OLED technology that uses screen for audio

By

LG is going to launch its next flagship smartphone — LG G8 ThinQ during Mobile World Congress (MWC 2019) later this month in Barcelona, Spain. While a lot of details related to the smartphone have already leaked online, there’s still some information getting released as the launch nears.

In the latest development, it is being reported that the LG G8 ThinQ will come with Crystal Sound OLED technology that turns the phone’s screen into an audio amplifier. This technology is similar to the one which vibrates the screen to produce sound, with an effect that the company claims increases volume.

LG G8 ThinQ OLED Sound

In a statement released by the company for confirming this display-based audio feature, LG said:

At MWC 2019, LG Electronics (LG) will remind audiences of its reputation and history as a leader in smartphone sound with the new LG G8 ThinQ featuring Crystal Sound OLED (CSO), an innovative technology that utilizes the phone’s OLED display as an audio amplifier.

Also, this doesn’t mean that the phone’s screen will be shaking all the time. The company explains that in speakerphone mode, it will deliver audio through the bottom speaker, and step up to two channels with the top part of the screen.

Other audio features of the smartphone include support for emulated 7.1 surround sound using DTS:X with or without headphones, and its “Boombox Speaker” design that uses space within the phone as a resonance chamber to fill out its sound. It also supports Master Quality Authenticated (MQA) encoded audio that Tidal uses and has a Hi-Fi Quad DAC.

LG had previously confirmed that the G8 ThinQ will come with a front-facing ToF sensor from Infineon Tech, which will also support 3D face unlock feature. Additionally, the phone is rumored to feature a notched display and is expected to arrive with triple rear cameras.

Under the hood, the device will be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 855 chipset. The SD855 SoC could be supported by 6GB of RAM and the company has already confirmed that the device will support some sort of touch-less gesture controls. As for the power, the phone could pack 3,500mAh battery.
