Feb 26, 2019

A couple of weeks back, OPPO shared a teaser which reveals the company is working on a device dubbed F11 Pro and packing a 48MP main camera at the rear. The teaser had also shown that the device will have an elevating front-facing camera. Apart from the camera, no other details of the F11 Pro have been reveal until now, thanks to a purported GeekBench listing.

The device is said to have appeared on GeekBench as OPPO CPH1969 which is perhaps the codename but we couldn’t find it on the database. The listing shows it is powered by a MediaTek Helio P70 chipset paired with 6GB of RAM. The listing also shows the device will run on Android 9.0 Pie from the go but this will likely have OPPO’s custom Color 6 OS on top.

On the test score, the F11 Pro scored a total of 1571 points on the single core test and 5844 points on the multi-core test. This is consistent with the score of other mid-range models running Helio P70 chipset such as the Realme U1. In other rumours, the OPPO F11 Pro is expected to pack a 6.5-inch display and will have up to 128 GB storage. The device will also pack a big 4,000 mAh battery under its hood. OPPO is yet to reveal when the device will be launched.

Realme 3 is all set to launch on March 4. Before its official launch, we have got a live image of the front of the phone, courtesy of the popular tipster, Ishan Agarwal. The new image confirms that the phone will feature a dewdrop display, similar to the one seen on its sibling, the Realme U1.

The photo further shows us the AnTuTu benchmark of the device, scoring an impressive 137,976. The tipster further reveals that the phone is powered by MediaTek’s Helio P70 and is running Android Pie OS out of the box.

Apart from this live image, GSMArena revealed a few camera samples from the Realme 3. These samples were compared directly with competitors like the Redmi Note 7 and Samsung Galaxy M20. There are two new features in the Realme model — Chroma Boost and Nightscape — which seem to give it an edge over its rivals, especially when it comes to dynamic range and night photography.

[envira-gallery id=”238368″]

In fact, if you compare the samples side by side, Realme’s Chroma boost feature seems to have done a fantastic job in boosting the dynamic range of the Realme 3. There’s a significant difference in the dynamic range among the three smartphone samples in question and the Realme model definitely had an edge. Even in the Nightscape mode, which is the company’s handheld night mode, the phone managed to do a fantastic job of managing the exposure and highlights with minimum noise. Once again, we could see that Realme 3 had a definite advantage.

Feb 26, 2019

A couple of days ago at MWC 2019, Huawei announced the mate X, a foldable display device. It attracted a lot of attention from global media and is set to compete with Samsung Galaxy Fold. Along with the foldable display there comes many new questions that every customer wants to ask before buying it. In order to address these queries, He Gang, president of Huawei terminal mobile product line took a media session.

Mr Gang responded to the question on the device’s durability like how many times it can fold and unfold before breaking? He said that the company had not measured the exact number of counts. Huawei is testing the new device via different means, and still many tests are left. Before the actual launch, Huawei ensures that the device will definitely meet the consumers’ requirements.

In order to provide a seamless experience to users, the Apps should also follow new design rules. Well, commenting on the App development, Gang said that it is not a big trouble for the company. Huawei has already done a lot to improve the app experience on Mate X. It easily fits the tablet viewport when we unfold the device. It is quite comfortable for Apps to transform into a tablet view.

He Gang further emphasised that Huawei has taken care of the durability and usability of the Mate X. The foldable display will not act as a barrier for the daily usage of the smartphone. There won’t be any display issue which will interfere in its smooth usage.

Also, to get actual usage figures, we have to wait for a couple of years. As Mate X is a new kind of device and it would be quite difficult to comment on its usage, durability without having exact figures.

Additionally, it holds a 1.8GHz Kirin 980 SoC with 8 GB RAM. It is coupled with Balong 5000 5G modem chipset and comes with 512 GB internal storage. The new device carries a flexible 8-inch display with the resolution of 2200 x 2480 pixels. Mate X gives a viewport of 6.6 inches with the resolution of 1148 x 2480 pixels when folded. There are quad cameras on the device consisting of a 40-megapixel wide primary lens + 16-megapixel sensor for ultrawide photos + 8-megapixel telephoto lens and a ToF camera.

The picture above is of the La Sagrada Familia, an uncompleted Roman Catholic church in Barcelona and was shared by Meizu’s VP, Li Nan. It isn’t a super wide-angle image but the Meizu Note 9 does a great job at capturing most of the building.

On a side note, since the picture was taken in Barcelona, we know the Meizu Note 9 is at MWC. Maybe someone will provide live photos of the device before the event is over.

Feb 26, 2019

This year at MWC 2019, various manufacturers showcased their abilities endeavouring the new 5G technology. Majority of the manufacturers announced the 5G supported devices which are slated to make debut in Q2 2019. In latest, Sony has joined the list of awaited 5G supported devices with its prototype device. The new device has been showcased at the MWC 2019 in Barcelona at Sony and Qualcomm booths.

It seems a decade of new technologies have just started with the announcement of folding smartphones from Samsung and Huawei. On the other hand, 5G technology support is gaining pace, and the initial batch of compatible devices have made an appearance at the Mobile World Congress.

As per our folks at Pocket-lint, they have spotted a Sony 5G prototype device at both Sony and Qualcomm booths. It was unlikely to get the full information about the device by just looking at it as the device was encased. Later talking to Adam Marsch, Sony’s global communications team, our source came to know that it is not a commercial but a testing product. Although, they even confirmed that the actual models would differ from the current prototype. Currently, multiple devices with minor hardware changes are going through different tests. The real purpose of minor hardware changes is to“trying to understand [what would happen] if you take an antenna away from a certain place and make it thinner”.

The prototype models are running on Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 chipset. It is even likely that the company would have coupled Snapdragon 855 with the X50 5G modem. The display measurements were not available, but it showed 21:9 aspect ratio. Sony has labelled the new device as “AG-1” internally as told by Adam Marsh. It uses 5mm wave for the 5G transmission along with sub 6 spectrum support.

Speaking further, Adam said that Sony is working on 5G technology but don’t have plans for any commercial product launch yet. It might come with a 5G device in the near future. The exact time frame is still unknown, although, it has been made clear that Sony is working on new 5G technology.

It has been speculated that Sony could come with a commercial 5G smartphone at IFA 2019 in September. It could be another version of recently launched Sony Xperia 1 which runs Snapdragon 855.

Feb 26, 2019

A couple of says, at its pre-MWC 2019 event in Barcelona, Huawei took the wraps off its flagship smartphone — Huawei Mate X. The phone is also the first from the China-based company to have a flexible display and 5G connectivity.

Apart from the foldable display and the 5G connectivity, another major feature that the smartphone comes with is support for Huawei’s next-generation of SuperCharge technology that offers 55W fast charging.

Now, Huawei’s President of Consumer Business and Mobile Products has revealed that the 55W SuperCharge technology will be exclusive for the Mate X smartphone for some time and the company has no plans to expand it to other devices.

He further added that offering 55W SuperCharge in Huawei Mate X is possible because the phone comes with two batteries so it’s possible to charge them faster simultaneously. Compared to Mate X, other smartphones come with just a single cell unit.

Huawei‘s Mate-series smartphones, which has been the company’s flagship lineup since the past few years, currently offers 40W fast charging. The clarification from the Huawei’s executive makes it clear that we should not expect the 55W fast charging in other smartphones anytime soon.

To remind you, the Huawei Mate X has a large 8” screen with a 2480 x 2200 resolution and an 8:7.1 aspect ratio when unfolded with a pretty thin bezel. When folded, It becomes a dual display phone – one side is a 6.6-inch (2480 x 1148) 19.5:9 display while the other is a 6.38-inch (2480 x 892) 25:9 display.

It is powered by the Kirin 980 paired with 8GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. It has dual SIM support but only SIM 1 supports 5G. The 7nm Balong 5000 modem brings 5G support to the device. There are three cameras on the back of the Mate X which also double as the selfie cameras. The cameras were co-developed with Leica and are made up of a 40MP wide-angle lens, a 16MP ultra-wide angle lens, and an 8MP telephoto lens.

The Huawei Mate X runs EMUI 9.1.1 based on Android 9 Pie and comes with NFC, dual-frequency GPS, Bluetooth 5.0 for connectivity. As said, the company has split its battery into two for a total capacity of 4,500mAh. Huawei has also debuted its new 55W SupercCharge fast charging technology which is claimed to charge the device from empty to 85 percent in just 30 minutes.

Nubia Alpha is a wearable device with a foldable display which looks to be acting like a smartphone. Basically, Nubia Alpha is more of a smartphone in the form factor of a smartwatch — a standalone wearable device.

It features a 4-inch flexible OLED display but appears a lot bigger because of its ultra-wide aspect ratio. The display offers 960 x 192 pixels screen resolution which seems to be offering 5:1 or 49:9 aspect ratio.

While the company addresses the device to be a smartphone, it actually is a smartwatch. Under the hood, the device is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 2100 chipset, coupled with 1GB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage.

It also comes with fitness-related features such as sleep-tracking and health-assistant apps. The device also features a 5-megapixel camera for taking photos and video recording. The Nubia Alpha is fuelled by a 500mAh battery which promises a day or two of endurance, comparable to smartphones.

As for the software, the device runs a custom operating system based on Android which comes with features like motion gestures and AIM (Air Interaction Mechanics) and also supports voice-based commands.

When released, the Nubia Alpha will be available in a couple of models and two color options — Black and Gold. The base model will have Bluetooth connectivity while the high-end model will offer eSIM compatibility.

The Bluetooth version of the Nubia Alpha will launch in April and it will cost €450 and will be offered only in Black color while the eSIM model will be €550 for the Black color and €650 if you want the Gold version. It will be available in China from April and then in Europe (in Q3) and North America (Q4).

ASUS had launched the ZenFone 5 series at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) tech trade fair in February last year. Hence, the rumor has been speculating that the Taiwanese company will use the MWC 2019 event this year to announce the ZenFone 6 series. It was recently reported that some journalists at the MWC 2019 had come across a magazine that showcased all the previous generations of ZenFone smartphones. The magazine also revealed that the ZenFone 6 will be made official on May 14. However, ASUS has now confirmed through a tweet it will be unleashing the ZenFone 6 on May 16 in Valencia, Spain through a standalone event.

The official tweet only confirms the launch date of the ZenFone 6. The company is likely to unveil successors for the ZenFone 5 Lite, ZenFone 5 and ZenFone 5Z flagship phone. The “DEFY ORIGINAL” and “Revolution is coming” texts on the tweet reveals that the ZenFone 6 may sport an offbeat design.

The live photos of the rumored ZenFone 6 had leaked around three weeks ago. It had revealed the rear design of the Black and Red-Violet color gradient editions of the smartphone. The rear panel of the phone was spotted with a vertical triple camera setup along with an LED flash. The fingerprint scanner is not available on the backside of the phone. Hence, there is a possibility that the phone could be equipped with an under-display fingerprint reader or it could be sporting a thicker chin with front-mounted fingerprint reader. The leak did not reveal the front design of the phone.

There were couple of leaks last year that suggested that the ZenFone 6 could be arriving with a punch-hole display design. There is a possibility that it may sport a slider design. With more than 2 months remaining for the launch of the ZenFone 6 series, it is advisable to wait for more leaks to confirm on its specs and features.
