Dec 17, 2018

Samsung is all set to launch its upcoming flagship smartphones, the Galaxy S10 lineup, at an Unpacked event during the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona in February 2019. It’s already known that the Galaxy S10 lineup will include three models — Galaxy S10 Lite, Galaxy S10, and Galaxy S10 Plus. There will also be another variant made of ceramic, which is said to feature 5G connectivity.

From what we’ve seen so far, it appears that the Galaxy S10 Lite will take on the Apple iPhone XR. Now, the new report suggests that the South Korean company will also offer colorful options for the smartphone, similar to the iPhone XR.

According to the latest report, the Galaxy S10 Lite will be available in five color options — Black, White, Blue, Green, and Yellow. The S10 and S10 Plus will have four colors — Black, White, Blue, and Green. The ceramic edition will be available in Black and White colors only.

These are the color options that will be offered at the time of the launch. However, it’s not confirmed if all the color options will be available worldwide or some colors will be limited to a few regions. Given the track record of Samsung, we expect the company will keep launching new color variants for the Galaxy S10 lineup every couple of months after its initial launch.

Reports indicate that the Galaxy S10 Lite (SM-G70F) will be featuring a flat 5.8-inch Super-AMOLED screen with Quad HD screen resolution and 18.5:9 aspect ratio. The phone is unlikely to feature an in-display camera hole.

The phone is expected to feature a regular rear-mounted fingerprint scanner or an optical under-display fingerprint scanner. The S10 and S10 Plus, on the other hand, are expected to come equipped with an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor. Depending on the market, the Galaxy S10 series will be powered by the Snapdragon 855 or Exynos 9820.

Xiaomi M1901F9T gets certified by TENAA, features 5.84-inch display and 2,900mAh battery

Dec 17, 2018

An unnamed Xiaomi smartphone which carries model number M1901F9T has passed through TENAA, revealing a few of the phone’s specifications. While the name of the handset is not yet confirmed, it is speculated to be a variant of the Redmi 7-series and could possibly be the Redmi 7 Pro.

The TENAA listing of the smartphone clearly says that the phone will come with a notched display, similar to Redmi 6 Pro. However, unlike the Redmi 6 Pro’s rectangular notch, the upcoming smartphone will sport a tiny water-drop notch, in line with the current trend.

Further, the listing reveals that it will come with a 5.84-inch display, which we expect to offer a Full HD+ screen resolution with 19:9 aspect ratio and some sort of screen protection on top such as Corning Gorilla Glass. The phone’s dimensions are also confirmed — 147.76×71.89×7.8mm.

Under the hood, the phone will be powered by a 2,900mAh battery. The phone will be powered by an Android-based MIUI 10, however, the specific Android version has not been revealed. Also, the phone features a dual camera setup on the back, powered by artificial intelligence. It also packs a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor for added protection.

The phone is speculated to be the Redmi 7 or Redmi 7 Pro given that the Redmi 6 and 6 Pro both comes with a 5.45-inch display and dimension measurement is also similar. If the M1901F9T is indeed the Redmi 7 series phone, it will be a significant improvement in terms of the screen-to-body ratio.

The “M19” in the phone’s model number indicates that the phone will be launched next year. This is in line with previous reports suggesting new Redmi smartphones launch in January 2019. We expect to get more information about the phone’s specifications in the coming days.

Notably, other smartphone models from Xioami which have already passed the certification stage, including M1901F7C, M1901F7E, and M1901F7T, are also expected to be a part of the upcoming Redmi 7 series.

One of the recently certified phones from Xioami could be the one featuring 48-megapixel camera sensor. A recent report speculates that a Redmi series smartphone will pack a 48-megapixel camera sensor, which will be a part of a triple-camera setup. The phone could be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 675 chipset.

The phone with a 48MP rear camera is also reported to have a punch-hole in the display to incorporate the selfie camera. Just like the Samsung Galaxy A8s and Honor View 20, this Xiaomi device will have an LCD panel provided by China-based display manufacturing company BOE.

A new leak has revealed that Lenovo will soon join the league of Chinese smartphone makers that have a partnership with car manufacturers. The leak is a photo that shows the “About Phone” section of a phone revealed to be the Lenovo Z5s Ferrari SuperFast. It also discloses some key specs of the device.

The Lenovo Z5s Ferrari SuperFast will launch as a special edition model of the Lenovo Z5s but Ferrari’s name isn’t the only thing to be excited about.

The photo shows the phone has model number L78071. It is powered by a Snapdragon 845 processor and packs a whopping 12GB of RAM!!!

Lenovo is practically setting a new record with this device. At the moment, the highest amount of RAM on a device is 10GB and there are only a handful of phones with that amount of RAM. The Lenovo Z5s Ferrari SuperFast will also have 128GB of storage and run ZUI 10 out of the box.

The regular variant of the phone is expected to come with a Snapdragon 710 processor as there is still no confirmation that there is a processor called Snapdragon 678.

This year alone, we have seen two Chinese manufacturers partner with automobile companies. OPPO partnered with Lamborghini to launch a special edition of the Find X called the OPPO Find X Automobili Lamborghini Edition.

Today we are comparing three unique phones: the special edition of the OnePlus 6T dedicated to McLaren, the Dual Display Edition of the full borderless phone Vivo NEX and the HTC Exodus 1, a phone based on the blockchain which can be used as a crypto wallet thanks to its hardware-backed security. Do these devices surprise you enough? If so, let’s go ahead with a specs comparison.

Design

If I had to choose by basing on the look, I would definitely pick Vivo NEX Dual Display because of its innovative aesthetics. It comes with the highest screen-to-body ratio without even needing a notch, and most of its surface is occupied by displays. On the other hand, HTC Exodus 1 is a unique phone as well because it has a transparent back which makes you see the internal components. Further, it is waterproof with the IP68 certification. OnePlus 6T is the best one for McLaren fans for obvious reasons, and it is the only to feature the strong Gorilla Glass 6 protection.

Display

If you want the highest definition, HTC Exodus 1 has the display for your needs thanks to its Quad HD+ resolution. OnePlus 6T has a more stunning color reproduction thanks to the AMOLED technology and its DCI-P3 coverage. But Vivo NEX Dual Display Edition has two displays, one on the front and one on the back which is more suitable for one-handed use and to save battery. Further, it does not include any notch, neither thick bezels on the front side.

Hardware/Software

Speed and performance are the real strong point of all these handsets since they are equipped with flagship-class hardware. Their SoC is the most powerful you can expect on a non-Huawei phone with Android in 2018. OnePlus 6T McLaren is the one with the most incredible performance and with the biggest internal storage. It comes with whopping 10 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage. Further, it has Android Pie out of the box, just like Vivo NEX Dual Display. HTC Exodus 1 comes with just 6 GB of RAM and Android 8.1 Oreo, so it is less impressive, but it is based on the blockchain and it can be used as a crypto wallet. Indeed, it features an advanced hardware-based security system and it is one of the safest Android phones out there.

Camera

With the same camera department as the HTC U12 Plus, the HTC Exodus 1 is the phone which can deliver the most impressive photo and video quality. It is the only which sports OIS, laser autofocus and 2x optical zoom in the same dual camera setup, and it is able to record 4K videos at 60 fps with stereo sound. It even has a dual front camera with impressive performances which captures depth info in a very advanced and accurate way. Vivo NEX Dual Display Edition lacks a front camera, but it has an outstanding triple camera on the rear side which can be used as a selfie camera thanks to the secondary display on the back. At last OnePlus 6T McLaren Edition is an awesome camera phone as well, so even if it is not the best, there is not an abyssal difference in photo quality.

Battery

With a capacity of 3700 mAh, OnePlus 6T McLaren Edition has the biggest battery and it should be able to last a bit more than its opponents on a single charge. However, we can not confirm it until we test the Vivo NEX Dual Display Edition. Also note that using the second display on the Vivo NEX Dual Display Edition allows saving a lot of energy thanks to its smaller size; so, thanks to the second display, Vivo NEX Dual Display Edition could be able to last more even with a smaller 3500 mAh unit. OnePlus 6T McLaren Edition has the fastest charging technology: the new Warp Charge 30 which is also able to minimize heating while the phone is charging.

Price

OnePlus 6T McLaren debuted globally with a price tag of €700/$700, Vivo NEX Dual Display Edition is actually available only in China with a price of about $729/€645, while HTC Exodus 1 can only be purchased (globally) with cryptocurrencies and it actually ranges from $450/€400 to $565/€500. Personally, I would award Vivo NEX Dual Display’s innovation and choose it because of its dual-display and a screen-to-body ratio close to 100%. But HTC Exodus 1 has a definitely higher value for money.

Dec 16, 2018

Every year, since it launched the first Pixel phone, Google has shown us what it can do with a very good camera software and a single sensor. Thanks to developers, you don’t have to own a Pixel phone to be able to experience how good Google’s camera app is as the APK can be ported and modified to work on other devices. Some devices already have the ported version of the Pixel 3’s camera but a new one has been released that works on a number of LG phones.

The ported version brings the camera performance of the Pixel 3 including the popular Night Sight feature to a bunch of LG phones including the LG V20 thanks to XDA Senior member, cstark27. The APK works on the LG V20, LG V30, LG V35, and the LG G6. if you own the LG G7 ThinQ and the LG V40 ThinQ, you can also try it but it is said to be unstable. However, there is a chance a newer version that works well with the two phones will be released in the near future.

If you want to know how well the camera performs compared to the stock camera app, an XDA member has provided camera samples that compare the LG V30’s stock camera to the ported one. Photos taken with the stock camera are on the left while those taken with the Google camera port are on the right.
