Design

Vivo NEX Dual Display and Honor Magic 2 are something incredible if we talk about their aesthetics. The first is the world’s second smartphone to feature two displays (one on the front and one on the back) which allow a screen-to-body ratio close to 100 percent and the use of the rear camera setup as a selfie camera as well. Honor Magic 2 is a phone which minimizes the bezels thanks to a slider containing front cameras and sensors which the user can manually open when needed. Huawei Mate 20 Pro is nothing very special in terms of design, but it has a better build quality: it has glasses protected by Gorilla Glass and it is waterproof and dustproof thanks to the IP68 certification.

 

Display

The device which delivers the best display quality is undoubtedly the Huawei Mate 20 Pro. Indeed, it comes with a higher resolution (Quad HD+ with 3120 x 1440 pixels), it is HDR10-compliant and it supports DCI-P3 coverage, so it has a definitely better color reproduction. It even comes with loud stereo speakers, so it provides a perfect multimedia experience. On the other hand, Vivo NEX Dual Display Edition is equipped with two displays and it may result more comfortable. Besides the main AMOLED screen, it has a second smaller display on the back.

 

Hardware/Software

Thanks to the new Kirin 980 SoC realized with a 7 nm production process, as well as an excellent software optimization, Huawei Mate 20 Pro has definitely better performances than its opponents and almost every Android device actually in the market. And it also supports expandable storage unlike the other two devices. But note that Vivo NEX Dual Display Edition is the only one to boast 10 GB of RAM, so it can provide a better multi-tasking experience.

 

Camera

Huawei Mate 20 Pro is a clear winner even on the camera side. It has the world’s best triple camera setup composed of an impressive 40 MP main sensor and two additional sensors with ultrawide and telephoto lens. It has both laser autofocus and optical zoom which goes up to 5x, and it is equipped with an optical stabilization system. Vivo NEX Dual Display Edition and Honor Magic 2 are impressive camera phones as well, but they can not compete with Huawei Mate 20 Pro in any scenario.

 

Battery

Huawei Mate 20 Pro has the biggest battery ever mounted on a last-gen flagship smartphone. It comes with a capacity of 4200 mAh and, even though its consumptions are not low due to the QHD+ display and other components, it lasts very long. It can easily reach one day on a single charge even when stressed. Honor Magic 2 will probably provide a similar battery life to Vivo NEX Dual Display Edition, but it is the world’s second last-gen phone when it comes to charging times as it can reach 70 percent in just 30 minutes thanks to the Magic Charge technology.

 

Price

Huawei Mate 20 Pro is the best and even the most expensive device of the trio, it was launched with a price tag of €1099/$1250 globally but it has been on the market for a while and now you can get it for about €850/$965 thanks to online street prices, which is the same price for which you will be able to get Vivo NEX Dual Display Edition in Europe (according to leaks). Honor Magic 2 carries a €550/$625 price tag in China and it offers a definitely higher value for money.

38MP Sony IMX607 sensor details leaked: boasts exceptional low-light performance and may appear first in the Huawei P30 Pro

The Huawei P20 Pro is one of the best camera smartphones released this year and its successor which will launch as the Huawei P30 Pro seems set to take over when it launches in a few months. A new leak of a yet-to-be-announced Sony image sensor may be one of the cameras that may crown the P30 king.

Sony IMX607 Document

The sensor is the Sony IMX607 and an official document that contains all its features was leaked on Weibo yesterday. The Sony IMX607 is a 38MP CMOS sensor according to the document and one of its main features is its “exceptional low-illumination performance”.

The 1/1.8 inch sensor which is designed for use in phones, tablets, and computer cameras uses a Dual Bayer instead of Quad Bayer. It also adds a White HDR Coding array. The document also says the Sony IMX607  has a high signal-to-noise ratio, quad pixel PDAF, advanced noise reduction and three native ISOs (50/500/5000).

The company is including a book in the box that celebrates the history of both the companies. It also comes with the iconic Speedmark, recreated in McLaren-designed F1 AA grade carbon fiber – the same material used in the McLaren MCL33 2018 Formula 1 car.

Lenovo takes swipe at Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite in new Z5s poster which hints phone may have Snapdragon 710 processor

The Lenovo Z5s will likely not come with a Snapdragon 678 because there isn’t such a processor in existence. That Lenovo Z5s poster from yesterday was just misinterpreted and a new poster seems to clarify that.

Lenovo Z5s new poster

Earlier today, the manufacturer released a poster that teased Xiaomi’s Mi 8 Lite for its choice of processor. The poster was actually shared first on Weibo by Lenovo’s CEO before it was reposted by the official Weibo account with a caption that teases the Mi 8 Lite for having a Snapdragon 600 series processor.

If Lenovo is teasing the Mi 8 Lite for having a Snapdragon 600 series SoC, that means it isn’t using a 600 series chipset in the Z5s which the Snapdragon 678, assuming it even exists, falls under.

[envira-gallery id=”227368″]

We re-examined the poster that originally said the phone will have a Snapdragon 678 processor and what we deduce is that Lenovo is teasing the phone will come with a processor that belongs to the 600, 700, or 800 series, hence 678.

There are rumors the chipset in the phone is actually the Snapdragon 710 like the Lenovo Z5 Pro but there is no confirmation yet. Other confirmed features of the phone are triple rear cameras and Android Pie pre-installed.

Google Photos Disallows Free Unlimited Storage to Specific Video Formats

Google Photos has been offering unlimited free storage for videos and photos since 2015 when it updated its gallery app with a new look and design. The free storage works for both iOS and Android users, however, Google compresses the uploaded content in order to save space. Now, starting today, some video formats that are unsupported will take up storage space the limited storage space quota allotted to each user. The new change came to be known when a side note appeared on the Google support site declaring the same.

The side note says, “[Unsupported] Videos uploaded after December 6, 2018 take up storage space.” It seems some users were using the unlimited storage to their advantage by disguising unsupported movie formats and uploading them to avail free storage. The side note’s appearance on the support page means the change is already live currently. That said, Google supports a large number of formats such as below:
mpg, .mod, .mmv, .tod, .wmv, .asf, .avi, .divx, .mov, .m4v, .3gp, .3g2, .mp4, .m2t, .m2ts, .mts, and .mkv files.

Do note that this change will have a minimal effect on smartphone users who upload photos or even videos through their devices. However, large files in unsupported formats will take up space. The Photos app has recently undergone a drastic redesign with Google imparting a new Material Theme design to the app recently.
