Apple’s next-generation iPhone models are still a long time away. The 2018 models are still fresh in the market and the company will most likely keep to its launch schedule meaning the 2019 iPhones won’t drop until several months from now. Despite that, we continue to see leaks purported to be for iPhone XI (2019). A fresh render of the iPhone XI has no appeared online but you should take it with a pinch of salt.

The latest leaked render also tag along some of the key specifications of the device. The iPhone XI is expected to feature a 5.8-inch OLED screen with Super Retina HD just like the iPhone XI. The leak even features the dimensions of the device and it is given as 5.65″ (h) x 2.79″ (w) x 0.30″ (d). As with the iPhone 8 and others, the iPhone XI will feature an IP68-certified waterproof/dustproof body. The renders also seem to confirm that the iPhone XI will feature a triple rear camera setup.

Perhaps, the most interesting listing is the 4000mAh battery the device is said to pack. Apple iPhones have always featured smaller batteries so a 4000mAh cell is awesome. The device will even feature a USB Type-C port. The device won’t come with 5G support, going by the leak. Finally, it will be available in four cool colours- Silver, Gold, Space Grey & Blue.

OnePlus trolls Apple as it celebrates latest ranking as India’s premium smartphone brand

It is not uncommon to see phone manufacturers troll their main rivals as they all struggle to grab a chunk of the market share. In recent times, Apple has been the main recipient of such trolling from fierce rivals Huawei and Samsung at different times. Who would have expected OnePlus would join the gang so soon. But then, guess they’ll all go to any length to break the brand loyalty Apple enjoys globally.

— OnePlus India (@OnePlus_IN) January 30, 2019

Counterpoint recently released its smartphone market data for the Indian market and OnePlus was ranked as the No. 1 (fastest growing) premium smartphone brand in India. Overwhelmed with the feat, OnePlus took to Twitter and Apple was the recipient of the trolling. The company’s tweet announcing the achievement didn’t directly call out Apple but it made reference to Apple’s voice assistant Siri. The tweet also employed Apple’s style of capitalization in writing the words “iDare you”

There is no doubt OnePlus’ tweet is a publicity stunt but an impressive one that didn’t require throwing any shade. OnePlus have enjoyed a great deal of success as a result of its innovative features and affordable pricing, which will appeal to the buyers in India. Whereas Apple’s latest iPhone comes with way expensive pricing but similar features with Android flagships. Apple recently threw its own trolling at CES 2019 with a billboard with the teaser; ‘What happens on your iPhone stays on your iPhone’. Apparently, this is an indirect criticism of security vulnerability on Android OS.

Meizu Zero now available on Indiegogo crowdfunding for $1299

By

Jan 30, 2019

Apparently, Meizu didn’t design the flagship Meizu Zero to end up as just a concept phone. The Chinese company has plans to commercialise the smartphone and that has just commenced. The Meizu Zero crowdfunding campaign has now been launched on Indiegogo with the order expected to start shipping in April.

We didn’t expect the Meizu Zero to come cheap but nothing prepared us for the $1299 price tag which is slammed on the device. But then, the sleek mobile phone looks to be worth that much with the innovative features crammed inside. The crowdfunding is looking for just 100 backers for the version which has the 1299 price tag. This model is dubbed “Exclusive Engineer Unit” and is said to be handmade by Meizu’s engineers. That puts a question mark on the ability of the company to mass-produce the model. There is another version tagged “Exclusive Pioneering Unit” and with a $2999 price tag but that version is sold out. Don’t be surprised about that, there was just a single unit available.

Already 13 persons have backed the model as at the time of reporting. That means there are just 87 units left and the crowdfunding campaign will be open for the next 31 days. It is left to be seen what will happen next after the crowdfunding campaign. Perhaps, more units will be made available but the level of response during the crowdfunding exercise will determine that.

Xiaomi Mi MIX 3 teardown shows how its magnetic slider works

Jan 30, 2019

The Mi MIX 3 has received generally positive reviews. It is one of the best camera phones of 2018 according to DxOMark but what really sets it apart from other phones is its slider design which uses magnets instead of springs or an electric motor.

YouTuber JerryRigEverything has made a teardown video of the Mi MIX 3 and it also shows how the slider works. There are a bunch of magnets in the device and Xiaomi employed the basic rule of magnets – opposite poles attract and like poles repel. It is a simple but very effective solution that ensures the phone stays opened or closed.

The teardown video also revealed the bundled cable with the phone is specially designed to allow you to slide the phone open while charging. A third party cable won’t let you do so.

Huawei Y6 Pro (2019) vs Honor Play 8A vs Xiaomi Mi Play: Specs Comparison

Huawei just launched a new affordable device in Sri Lanka: the Huawei Y6 Pro (2019) which is slightly different from all other Huawei devices in terms of aesthetics. But is it all about design or it is a valid phone even inside? In order to establish it, just looking at the specs sheet is not enough. For this reason, we usually compare new smartphones with their best concurrence in the same price range. And among the best rivals of the new handset, there are Honor Play 8A and Xiaomi Mi Play. The former is one of the most affordable devices from Huawei’s sub-brand, while the latter is from a totally different company which represents the main Huawei’s Chinese rival. Here is an in-depth specs comparison.

Huawei Y6 Pro (2019) vs Huawei Honor Play 8A vs Xiaomi Mi Play

	Huawei Y6 Pro (2019)	Huawei Honor Play 8A	Xiaomi Mi Play
DIMENSIONS AND WEIGHT	156.28 x 73.5 x 8 mm	156.28 x 73.5 x 8 mm, 150 grams	147.76 x 71.89 x 7.8 mm, 150 grams

Design

As mentioned above, Huawei Y6 Pro (2019) has a unique design. Alongside the Huawei Enjoy Max, it is the only last-generation phone from one of the world’s best brands to come with a leather body. It is incredibly elegant and original, and it comes in two color variants. It also has thin bezels and a small dewdrop notch on the display that maximizes the screen-to-body ratio. Right after that, I would pick the Xiaomi Mi Play because of its elegant glass back and its gradient colors, that is not usual to find on a so affordable device. Honor Play 8A has a classic polycarbonate design that is very common on entry-level phones, and it does not have gradient colors, so it would be the last choice.

Display

Xiaomi Mi Play overclasses both its opponents because it comes with a display boasting a higher level of detail. It is the only Full HD+ panel of the trio and it shows sharper and more realistic images. At the same time, it comes with a slightly smaller size which makes it more compact and easier to use with one hand. The displays of Huawei Y6 Pro 2019 and Honor Play 8A are almost the same thing, they are just minimally different in size but the resolution is the same and so is the viewing quality.

Specs & Software

Unfortunately, we still do not know which chipset is on board of the Huawei Y6 Pro 2019 as the company decided not to reveal it yet. But it should not be needed in order to establish which device will boast the higher performance. Indeed, Huawei Y6 Pro 2019 comes with max 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal storage, while Xiaomi Mi Play has 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of integrated storage. We still do not know the SoC of the Huawei Y6 Pro 2019, but in case it is not the Helio P35 found on the Xiaomi Mi Play, we doubt it will be a better chipset than this one. Honor Play 8A loses the comparison too because it comes with the Helio P35 and max 3 GB RAM. All the phones come with a customized Android version based on Pie.

Camera

While Xiaomi Mi Play comes with a better hardware side, both Huawei Y6 Pro 2019 and Xiaomi Mi Play should have better camera performances. Both their rear and their front sensors come with a brighter focal aperture, and this means better shots in low light conditions. We have no idea about which device between Huawei Y6 Pro 2019 and Honor Play 8A will click better shots as we did not test the former and all will depend on software optimization.

Battery

All the batteries of these devices come with more or less the same capacity, so hardware components and optimization will make the difference. Given that Xiaomi Mi Play has a Full HD+ display, we believe that it will have worse battery life than both Huawei Y6 Pro 2019 and Honor Play 8A. The 8A has a slightly bigger battery and a slightly smaller screen, that is more efficient components. But if Huawei Y6 Pro 2019 has a more efficient SoC than the Helio P35, this may not matter and it may win in all the battery life tests.

Price

Honor Play 8A and Xiaomi Mi Play come with price tags of €100 and €170, respectively, in the Asian market. The price of the Huawei Y6 Pro 2019 is not known yet (we believe it will cost more than Honor Play 8A because of its costlier design and because it is a Huawei device). With the actual (incomplete about the Y6 Pro) information available and given the marginal differences between all these handsets, I would personally go for the Huawei Y6 Pro 2019 because of its more original leather design. But once I will know the chipset model and the price, my opinion might change.

Samsung announces 1TB eUFS 2.1 storage ahead of Galaxy S10 launch

By

Jan 30, 2019

While Toshiba has begun testing UFS 3.0 chips, it appears Samsung still plans to use UFS 2.1 for a little more while before making the switch. The Korean-electronics giant announced its largest capacity UFS storage today which has a 1TB capacity.

The announcement comes a few weeks before the launch of the Galaxy S10 series which has been reported to have a variant with 12GB of RAM and 1TB of storage.

The 1TB eUFS 2.1 chip is a single-chip design and boasts an improvement in read and write speeds compared to the 512GB eUFS 2.1. The chip size is the same, measuring 11.5 x 13 mm and has 16 5th-gen 512Gb V-NAND flash memory layers.

The 1TB storage has a sequential read speed of 1000MB/s, a sequential write speed of 260 MB/s, a random read speed of 58,000 IOPS and a random write speed of 50,000 IOPS. These are significant gains in speeds when compared to Samsung’s other versions.

Meizu Zero crowdfunding on Indiegogo goes live today at 22:00 UTC+8

Jan 30, 2019

Today makes it one week since Chinese phone maker Meizu unveiled the Meizu Zero flagship concept phone. The device comes as the world’s first smartphone without any physical buttons or ports. It is also the first ever phone to carry support for 18W wireless charging. The Meizu Zero will be available on crowdfunding on Indiegogo later today as scheduled. The crowdfunding will officially open at 22.00 UTC+8.

The pricing and availability will be made bare but don’t get your hopes too high. The Meizu Zero’s design requires that certain features you’ll find on a regular flagship are lacking like a SIM slot, 3.5mm audo jack, and even a charging port. Specs wise, the Meizu Zero is a stunner as it features a 5.99-inch curved OLED panel with full HD+ resolution of 2160 x 1080 pixels. The mSound 2.0 technology 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 embedded with an in-screen fingerprint reader.

The Meizu Zero also comes with an IP68 certified dustproof and waterproof device and to keep it completely sealed, there is no opening on the device. Thus, it is equipped with linear motor-powered pressure-sensitive virtual buttons for power and volume. 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.

On the camera end, it packs a 20MP selfie camera and 12MP + 20MP dual camera module at the rear which is exactly the same one available on the Meizu 16th smartphone. It runs on Flyme 7 UI based on Android 9 Pie OS. Meizu says the Meizu Zero phone would be available in Black and White color options. We’ll keep you updated as soon as the Indiegogo page goes live.

“ZTE A2020 Pro” believed to be Axon 10 Pro appears on Geekbench

The Axon 9 Pro was launched back in August but didn’t go on sale until October but it was quickly forgotten with the launch of the new iPhones, the third-gen Pixels, and the OnePlus 6T. This year, its successor which is expected to be called the Axon 10 Pro may arrive earlier.

A ZTE phone has appeared on Geekbench and it is believed to be the Axon 10 Pro. It was benchmarked earlier today as the “ZTE ZTE A2020 Pro”.

The device runs Android 9 Pie and has 6GB of RAM. The benchmark scores – 3824 points for the single-core test and 10762 for the multi-core test – confirm it is powered by the Snapdragon 855 as they are similar to that of other Snapdragon 855 phones that have been benchmarked.

The Axon 9 Pro launched with a notched AMOLED display, support for wireless charging and Quick Charge 4+, and the series’ signature stereo Dolby Atmos speakers. We expect its successor to come with a redesigned display and the rest of the aforementioned specs. However, it will be nice to see it get a design overhaul that stands out from the competition. It will also be nice to get a non-pro variant.

Is Xiaomi working on a Penta Camera Smartphone? Photo watermark suggests it is

By

Jan 30, 2019

In recent times, we have seen the development of smartphone camera evolve from a single sensor to dual, triple and quad sensors. Nokia has been at the forefront of moves to incorporate penta-cameras on smartphones with the upcoming Nokia 9 tipped to feature such setup. Seems Xiaomi is also following suit with a Penta-camera phone in the works. This much was revealed by the company’s product director Wang Teng Thomas who shared a post on Weibo containing a photo with watermarks that indicate that it was “Shot on Mi AI Penta cam”. Apart from the watermarks, there is no other clue as to how the device will look like. The picture contains different Xiomi branded phones showing the different designs Xiaomi has utilised so far, ranging from waterdrop, notch to the full-screen of the Mi Mix 3. The photo itself, though, looks very sharp suggesting the five cameras will work to deliver stunning captures.

The increase in the number of sensors in smartphones is aimed at improving the quality of photographs and videos shot on the camera. More cameras also mean a wider range of focal length coverage to meet the needs of people in everyday use. The Xaomi exec deleted the post soon after it was posted, suggesting it was posted in error or was meant to be just a teaser. However, the design may likely feature on the Mi 9 as the watermark shows the device having the design is a Mi series model.

Samsung Galaxy A10 with Exynos 7885 (or Exynos 7904) and 2GB RAM seen on Geekbench

By

Jan 30, 2019

Samsung recently announced two mid-range phones in India. One is the Exynos 7904-powered Galaxy M20 and the other is the Exynos 7870-powered Galaxy M10. Now, another mid-range phone seems to be on the way, this time the Galaxy A10 and it has been spotted on Geekbench.

Geekbench says the Galaxy A10 is powered by the Exynos 7885 which is technically a higher-clocked version of the Exynos 7904. Yeah, blame Samsung’s insane naming scheme. Also, do read our opinion of the Exynos 7904 here. However, there is a possibility it is actually the Exynos 7904 as benchmark apps are said to incorrectly identify the 7904 as the 7885 due to the similarities between them.

Even if the Galaxy A10 does come with the slightly more powerful Exynos 7885 processor, it might sell for less than the Galaxy M20 (at least this particular variant) as it has just 2GB of RAM compared to the M20 which has a base model with3GB RAM. There should be other RAM + storage configurations when it launches.

Last evening, Redmi President and Vice-President of Xiaomi Group Lu Weibing initiated a new poll to find which is the most preferred full screen design. Among the many options, the full screen design with pop-up selfie camera has received the most votes. Interestingly, Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun voted for waterdrop-style display. Jun’s vote has giving birth to tumors that the Xiaomi Mi 9 will be arriving with a waterdrop notch enabled display.

As it can be seen in the below screenshot, the notch-less display with pop-up front camera is the most desired display design among Mi fans since it has received as around 31 percent votes. It is closely followed waterdrop-style notched display design with 27 percent votes.

The punch-hole display like the Honor V20, slider design like the Xiaomi Mi MIX 3 and dual display like the Vivo NEX Dual Display have respectively received around 17 percent, 16 percent and 9 percent votes.
As mentioned above, Jun voted for waterdrop-style display which suggests that the Mi 9 could be arriving with such a display to offer higher screen space than the Mi 8 that featured a wider display notch. In the recent past, Jun has revealed that the Mi 9 would be equipped with faster charging technology.
