Mar 26, 2019

Xiaomi has today revealed through its official Weibo account that the company will be launching Mi Handheld Vacuum Cleaner on 29th March in China. The company says that the vacuum cleaner will be up against “high-end technology, half price” product, hinting at the high-end Dyson vacuum cleaner.

The Xiaomi’s vacuum cleaner will come equipped with a brushless motor and have the suction force between 20-25KPa. In comparison, the current hot Dyson V10’s maximum suction force is about 24KPa — similar to what Xiaomi is expected to offer.

Currently, Dyson’s high-end vacuum cleaner is priced at around 5,000 Yuan (approximately $745) and the upcoming Mi Handheld Vacuum Cleaner is expected to have a price tag of 2,499 Yuan(approximately $372) or even 1,999 Yuan (approximately $298).

In this category, Xiaomi had released a sweeping robot in 2016 with powerful cleaning ability, scientific intelligent planning, and high performance. We expect the upcoming Mi Handheld Vacuum Cleaner to follow the suit in offering a cheaper but powerful product.

Lenovo Z6 Pro’s Hyper Video feature showcased in a new teaser video

By

-

Mar 26, 2019

Recently, Lenovo Group Vice President Chang Chengfa has officially announced that the company’s next flagship smartphone Lenovo Z6 Pro will be unveiled on March 27. Earlier, the company had teased the phone’s launch during MWC 2019 last month but instead of launching the smartphone, the company just revealed that the phone will make its debut soon.

However, the company had confirmed that the phone will come with a feature called “Hyper Videos” but had not shared anything related to this, except that it will be the trend of the 5G era. The recently released teaser poster also mentions the word “HYPER VIDEO” but still, nothing much is known about this feature.

Today, a day before the launch of Lenovo Z6 Pro smartphone, Chang Cheng, VP of Lenovo Group posted a video teaser on Weibo showcasing the Hyper Video feature of the smartphone. The short video seems to be using macro and slow-mo effect.

Along with the video, he posted a text which roughly reads: “Four years of accumulation, one year and one month to develop, it is easy to make a different product. It is not easy to be a deeply rooted experience.” He is implying that it took over a year for the company to develop this Hyper Video feature.

Although he has not revealed any details related to this Hyper Videos feature, he did say that they will be transferred at a higher speed than the current videos. This new feature will be added as a new camera technology to Lenovo smartphone, starting with Z6 Pro.

The phone’s launch, which is scheduled to take place on 27th March, i.e. tomorrow, is unexpected as earlier the company had revealed that the Z6 Pro will be launched in June 2019 with support for 5G. There’s a possibility that the non-5G variant could launch this month while the 5G model will be launched in June.

Currently, the company’s flagship smartphone is Lenovo Z5 Pro, which is already ahead of the competition since it had launched the Lenovo Z5 Pro GT as the world’s first smartphone powered by Snapdragon 855 SoC and 12GB RAM in December last year.

Thanks for the warm up, now on to the main event… #RewriteTheRules #HuaweiP30 #AppleEvent pic.twitter.com/DBn72uZE3Z

— Huawei Mobile IE (@HuaweiMobileIE) March 25, 2019

Huawei’s event will begin at 2 PM CET and it will be livestreamed for the global audience. The specifications of the Huawei P30 and P30 Pro are no secret since they have been revealed through multiple reports from the beginning of this year. The P-series phones from the company are known for delivering stellar photography experience. Hence, it is likely that the Chinese firm will reveal how the new P30 series phones are superior over the recent iPhones in photography and other departments.

The Huawei P30 and P30 Pro will be respectively featuring a 6.1-inch flat AMOLED and 6.47-inch curved AMOLED displays. The waterdrop notch enabled displays will produce full HD+ resolution. These phones will be equipped with an in-screen fingerprint reader and EMUI 9.1 interface. The homebrewed Kirin 980 SoC will be fueling both phones. The P30 will have a 3,650maAh battery while the P30 Pro will be equipped with 40W fast charging enabled 4,200mAh battery.

Both devices will be equipped with 32-megapixel front-facing cameras.

Redmi to first mass produce Xiaomi’s Super Charge Turbo 100W Fast Charging technology

By

-

Mar 26, 2019

Recently, Xiaomi revealed its Super Charge Turbo 100W fast charging technology which essentially charges a 4000mAh battery from 0 to 100 percent in just 17 minutes! Now Lu Weibing, head of Redmi products, has revealed through a Weibo post that Redmi will be the first to mass produce the Xiaomi’s Super Charge Turbo technology for its smartphones.

Earlier, Lin Bin, President and co-founder of Xiaomi had revealed through a Weibo post that the company’s engineers successfully tested 100W fast charging for smartphones. This is nearly twice as fast as the SuperVOOC from OPPO, which is currently the fastest charging technology available in the market for smartphones.

The company also showcased that the OPPO’s SuperVOOC could only charge up to 65 percent by the time the Xiaomi’s model smartphone was completely charged. While the company hasn’t confirmed this but it’s safe to assume from the video that the tech is being called as Super Charge Turbo.

Currently, there’s no much information available related to this technology apart from the demo video shared by the Xiaomi CEO Lin Bin. While Lu Weibing confirmed that Redmi will be the first to mass produce this technology, he has not provided any timeline for this development.

The company could use this Super Charge Turbo technology in its upcoming flagship smartphone which will be powered by Qualcomm’s flagship Snapdragon 855 octa-core 7nm chipset. It was recently confirmed by the Redmi executive that the SD855-powered Redmi smartphone won’t be launched anytime soon. So, we’ll have to wait at least for a few months before we know more.

All the customers will be getting a free pair of the new wireless Galaxy Buds, as well as a slim-design protective Kevlar case, along with one-year damage cover through Samsung Care+.

Coming to the specifications, when open, the Galaxy Fold smartphone presents a 7.3-inch Infinity Flex Display with a 1536 x 2152 resolution. In this mode, you can use three apps at the same time which Samsung calls Three-app Multitasking.

When folded into phone mode, it offers a 4.6-inch 840 x 1960 display. It comes with a feature called App Continuity which automatically adjust an app when you switch screens. It is powered by a 7nm processor paired with 12GB of RAM.

For the first time in a smartphone, it comes with UFS 3.0 storage with a 512GB capacity. Samsung says there are six cameras – three on the back (when folded in phone mode), one in front (also in phone mode), and two inside (in tablet mode). The camera module is made up of a 16MP ultra-wide camera, a 12MP telephoto camera, and another 12MP wide-angle camera. The selfie camera is a 10MP sensor.

The Galaxy Fold runs the latest Samsung One UI with Android 9 Pie operating system out-of-the-box. It packs a 4,380mAh battery which is split into two units. The phone is expected to be available in four colors — Martian Green, Astro Blue, Space Silver, and Cosmos Black.

Connectivity options on the device include 4G VoLTE, WiFi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.2, GPS, GLONASS, and USB Type-C port. The phone is powered by a 3,000mAh battery which comes with support for 15W Turbo Charging.

OPPO recently showcased its breakthrough periscopic camera lens technology which offers 10X lossless zoom for smartphone photography. The camera samples that have been shared shows the feature isn’t just gimmick but could be real. That technology would find its way into a smartphone with the upcoming OPPO Reno. The Reno is expected to be launched on April 10 and ahead of that, the company has revealed quite a number of details about the device, thanks to the company’s VP Bryan Shen. Bryan has been the source of most of the stuff we know about the device and his latest disclosure is Reno’s colour options.

The OPPO Reno will be available in four different color options namely Sea Green, Midnight Black, Pink and Nebula Purple. The green and pink colour variants seem to have a frosted glass finish while the Black and Purple options will have a mirror finish. Whichever colour or finish it adopts, the Reno will sure have a sleek design with well-chamfered edges and 3D curved body.

OPPO Reno is a flagship model that would be powered by Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 855 chipset. Another major highlight of the model is the 48MP Sony sensor onboard. The device will also pack a big 4064mAh battery. Since it is a flagship model, one would have expected the device will have wireless charging support but that isn’t going to happen. OPPO disclosed recently that it wouldn’t feature its SuperVOOC fast charger and that seems to be as a result of the big battery. Instead, the device will have the VOOC 2.0 fast charging technology.
