Nov 21, 2018

Nubia is said to debut its first gaming device, the Red Magic, in India next month. Now, after long-standing speculation, Asus will also be announcing its ROG gaming smartphone in the country. The launch is scheduled for November 29. It’s been quite some time since Asus first revealed it’s flashy ROG Phone back at Computex. Even the Nubia Red Magic is arriving very late in the country as its successor is to be revealed in a few days in China on November 28.

Apart from India, the ROG Phone was previously made available in the US and UK. For the Indian market, gaming phones are quite the new category as Honor was just the first device to market the Honor Play as a gaming smartphone. However, with the increasing popularity of mobile multiplayer titles like PUBG, there might just be some takers of these new devices. Speaking of which, we’re reminded that the ROG Phone with all its bling and firepower doesn’t come cheap, unlike the Honor Play. The phone retails for £799 (₹72,800) in the UK and if the Indian price is anything close to that region, Asus could have a hard time selling its first gaming device in the market.

Some of the most noticeable features of the ROG Phone include a tweaked 6.0-inch AMOLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate and a 1ms response time. That is not to be seen on any other gaming phone except the Razer Phone. It also features a higher-clocked Snapdragon 845 that goes up to 2.96GHz, Bluetooth 5.0 with AptX HD, 3.5mm jack with a dedicated DAC, and a really unique sporty look and feel. Of course, no gaming smartphone is complete without an RGB light and the ROG Phone also has one on the back along with cooling vents placed on the side.

Asus knows the price sensitivity of the Indian market and it will be interesting to see how the Taiwanese giant prices its upcoming device.

Qualcomm’s mobile SoCs are the backbone of dozens of flagship smartphones that launch each year. The US-based chip maker has a solid reputation for manufacturing top-notch CPUs coupled with reliable modems and GPUs. That’s why everyone’s looking forward to the highly anticipated successor of the current Snapdragon 845 SoC. While Qualcomm seems to be a bit late this year, a report states that we could likely see the company’s first 7nm chipset on December 4. Qualcomm will be holding an event at the Qualcomm Technology Summit and Chinese press members have received invites with statements, ” Dare to be the first 5G mobile experience.” The 3-day event will take in Hawaii and the invite also contains a Xiaomi VR device with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 SoC.

As far as the specs of the Snapdragon 8150 SoC are concerned, current talk is that it is expected to come with three-cluster CPU core design, similar to Kirin 980. The alleged chipset was recently detected at AnTuTu bagging an all-time record score of 362,292 which is unseen on any Android device. The only other CPU that can come close to it is Huawei’s Kirin 980 CPU. Huawei’s home-grown CPU marked 311,840 points. The Snapdragon 845 SoC in the Black Shark Helo is the next best with a score of 301,757 points.

The core architecture goes like this. There will be one large core clocked at 2.84GHz, three medium cores clocked at 2.4GHz, and finally, four small efficiency cores clocked at 1.78GHz. The GPU inside is believed to be the Adreno 640 which is 20 percent better than the previous version. After a likely reveal next month, we should see the first Snapdragon 8150 SoC devices hit the market in early 2019.

At the launch event of the Galaxy A9s in China, Samsung had teased the bezel-less design of the upcoming Galaxy A8s smartphone. At that time, industry experts from China had claimed that the Galaxy A8s would be arriving with a hole in its display for the front-facing camera. During the recently held Samsung Developers Conference (SDC) 2018 event, the South Korean company confirmed that this design will be called Infinity-O. A German publication has shared realistic renders of the smartphone.

The concept renders of the Galaxy A8s reveals that it is equipped with slimmer bezels except for the bottom one which is slightly thick. The selfie camera is placed inside the hole located at the upper left corner of the screen. The new display design will certainly allow the Galaxy A8s to deliver more than 90 percent screen-to-body ratio.

The rear shell of the phone features a triple camera setup with LED flash. The brand name of the company is present below the fingerprint scanner. Probably, the handset could be equipped with a glass rear that will allow it to exhibit a premium appeal.

Nov 21, 2018

The latest Android distribution chart released by Google as at October 26 is yet to have the latest Android Pie onboard as the usage level is still below 0.1%. Interestingly, a new Google Pixel 3 XL listing on GeekBench shows the device rocking Android Q. Following Google’s naming sequence, it is safe to assume that Android Q is Google’s next-gen Android version which would be released next year.

The GeekBech listing goes to show that an Alpha version of the Android version is already in development and we expect things to get pretty busy in the rumour mill in the coming months. However, there just a few details of the next Android version like it will be Project Treble compliant. Google also disclosed recently that devices which shipped with Android Pe would be on the faster upgrade platform. In addition, the AOSP source code is fixed so developers can prepare in advance for any future operating system updates.

Further, the Geekbench listing also underscores the priority Google gives its models in pushing new Android updates. The Pixel 3 and Pixel 3XL were launched with the latest Android 9.0 Pie onboard whose actual rollout happening in October. The Pixel 3 models will also definitely be among the early birds to get updates to Android Q whenever it starts rolling out.

Nov 21, 2018

Recently a question from a fan on the Meizu community prompted Meizu’s founder J. Wong to reveal an upcoming innovation from the company. The fan had inquired if the Meizu 16S design will restore the use of independent music chips. The fan also complained that the Meizu 16th Plus is good, but the music output isn’t really impressive and hopes the Meizu 16S will be better.

In his response, Meizu’s founder Huang Zhang, also known as Jack Wong, disclosed that the company will release an adapter with an independent music chip. Mr J. Wong had earlier disclosed that a mobile phone with a built-in music chip is a low-cost simple HiFi, and the cost of a good HiFi is many times higher than what the phones sell for. The company founder also shared a sketch of the technology embedded on a Type-C cable as well as a Type-C to 3.5mm adapter. The technology on a Type-C cord will give consumers a better choice, and the sound quality can be better. He also disclosed that the related accessories are already in development.

As for the much-talked-about Meizu 16S, Mr. Wong disclosed that the smartphone will be unveiled in May next year and will continue with the design of the Meizu 16. On the core configuration, it will be equipped with the unannounced Qualcomm Snapdragon 8150 processor. The founder had earlier disclosed that the company will not be among the early birds to integrate 5G technology on their smartphones.

Huawei trademarks 10N, 20C, 20N, 30C, 40C and more for future Honor phones

Nov 21, 2018

Huawei has filed multiple trademark applications for names of upcoming smartphones at the European Union Intellectual Property Office. Judging from these trademarks, we are pretty sure they are for future phones under the Honor brand.

The trademarks filed by the Chinese manufacturer are 10N, 20C, 20N, 30C, 30N, 40C, 40N, 50C, and 50N. Already, there is a phone in existence called the Honor 9N and the Honor 8C is one of the companies latest mid-range phones. So it is easy to piece it together that the trademarks are names of successors to the Honor 9N and Honor 8C.

Looking at the trademark again, one can deduce Huawei wants the Honor naming scheme to follow a similar path as that of its own Huawei-branded device. So instead of the Honor 11N coming after the Honor 10N, we will have the Honor 20N.

Xiaomi could be working on a Kindle like e-reader

Nov 21, 2018

Xiaomi always brings in something exciting to the news, and this time is the Kindle like an e-reader. The Chinese electronics maker has lots of different products varying from smart air filters to smartphones. From the past few months, many users were asking that how they can miss Kindle-like e-reader in their brochure. Today, Xiaomi Senior Product Director, Li Chuangqi positively replied to a similar query and responded regarding the development of e-reader, but did not confirm it.

Well, the answer can have different meanings, but it is conveying something positive about the e-readers. On the other hand, Mi Engineers on the forum said that Xiaomi completed a prototype of the device in the year 2017, but at that time the focus of the company was something else. The Chinese manufacturing company was focusing on smart home products at that time. Due to its small audience and less monetary profit and other benefits, Xiaomi didn’t pour in much efforts.

Now it is a good time to expand their reach to more business-oriented users. Xiaomi should rethink about the idea of Kindle-like an e-reader. Xiaomi should take an insight into the needs of the market and nurture their plans of expansion via different product catalogs.

Well, Xiaomi is one of the biggest company around the Globe which is creating every different kind of product with a smartness in it. They have created bulbs, shoes, air purifiers, lamps, toothbrushes and many never-ending lists of products. In the last couple of years, the company has strengthened its sale and marketing network around the world.

Well, the latest insights from internal people have made it clear that Xiaomi has not entirely discarded the idea of developing e-readers, they are waiting for the right time. We expect, Xiaomi to rethink the concept and cater the users with a much-demanded e-reader.

The Honor 10 Lite is priced at 1,399 Yuan (~$202) for the base model with 4GB RAM while the 6GB RAM model with 64GB storage costs 1,699 Yuan (approx. $245). On the other hand, the 6GB RAM model with 128GB internal storage is priced at 1,899 Yuan (approximately $274).

The phone comes in four color options — Gradient Red, Gradient Blue, Magic Night Black, and Lily Valley White. It will be available for purchase in China from 27th November.

The Honor 10 Lite aka Honor 10 Youth Edition features a 6.21-inch IPS LCD Full HD+ display with screen resolution of 2280 x 1080 pixels and 19:9 aspect ratio and about 90 percent screen-to-body ratio. Under the hood, the device is powered by the company’s own Kirin 710 chipset.

The Kirin 710 is Huawei’s first 12nm chipset that offers significant improvement in power consumption and performance when compared to the 16nm Kirin 659. In terms of performance, the Kirin 710’s single-core performance is said to be 75% higher than that of the Kirin 659 while for multi-core performance, it offers a 68% increase in performance.

It comes in either 4GB or 6GB of RAM, along with 64GB or 128GB of internal storage. There’s also a microSD card slot which enables you to further expand the phone’s storage capacity. It also features a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor for added protection.

Mediatek’s MT6779 likely Helio X40 spotted in benchmarks, could be featuring Cortex A75

It’s not only Qualcomm that have a considerable market share in the smartphone industry, but Mediatek also caters to many devices. Many Android devices run on MediaTek chipsets. In order to compete against the new chips from Qualcomm, it appears MediaTek is also testing some new chips. Already leaked, Mediatek MT6779 has appeared on the Geekbech benchmark with model number k79v1_64.

At the benchmark, MT6779 scored a significant score of 2025 on a single core test and managed to get 6831 on multi-core tests. If we compare it, then it is 35% higher than Helio P60 scores (MT6771). The new chipset carries eight different cores with the frequency of 2.0 GHz. Even though the serial number of the processor is speculating it to be the Cortex A75. Well, it can be said that a Cortex A75 processor would power it.

As per the official stats from the ARM, Cortex manufacturer, then it has a 34% increase in performance in comparison with its predecessor A73. Aggregating all things in place, then it can be said that MTK MT 6779 will be the first chip to use Cortex A75. It will further allow the MediaTek to ditch the old A73 architecture.

As of now, only Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 and Samsung’s Exynos 9820 uses a couple of A75 cores in its architecture.

It is giving us another hint that the upcoming Mediatek MT6779 will be the new 7nm based Helio X40. It gained another 1000 points in the multiple core tests and single core, and it just headed 200 points ahead of the predecessor. Even though, we managed to find very minimal improvement in the comparison between the speculated Helio X40 and Helio X30 performance.

Well, currently nothing is confirmed but based on the facts it seems to be Helio X40 running Cortex A75 cores. Based on the scores it feels like a mid-range product for mid-range devices is coming soon.

Xiaomi has today announced a new 75-inch model in its Mi TV 4S series, which is priced at 7,999 Yuan that roughly converts to $1,152. It will go on sale in China from 23rd November and will first be available through Xiaomi Mall and Mi Home Stores.

This is the second time Xiaomi is launching a TV model featuring a 75-inch display panel. Earlier this year, the company had launched a 75-inch model of Mi TV 4 — making it the largest display panel for a TV ever launched by the company.

The huge 75-inch Mi TV 4S, which comes with a 4K HDR LCD panel, features narrow bezels surrounding the display, giving an immersive experience. As for the build quality, the company says that it is made of aerospace-grade aluminum, brushed metal, and silver-gray metal.

Under the hood, the newly introduced TV model is powered by a 64-bit quad-core processor which is likely to be Amlogic’s sixth-generation chipset. It also packs 2GB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage. The inbuilt storage seems a bit low given that the same model of Mi TV 4 comes with 32GB of internal storage.

For connectivity, it supports dual-band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and comes with HDR display technology, DTS-HD and Dolby audio track decoding for the enhanced audio-visual experience. There’s also an integrated AI-based voice assistant, making it easier and convenient to operate.

Similar to other Mi TV models, this one too comes equipped with the company’s own PatchWall OS that offers intuitive user interface and easy access to more than 500,000+ hours of content. It also recommends online and offline content depending on the users’ TV-watching behavior.

Despite all the sudden fall, it still managed to sell 21.4 million smartphones with the market share of 19.7%. There are many other OEMs which have registered a good number of sales in teh last quarter.

Especially, Huawei and its subsidiary, Honor, both have managed to register a huge 14% growth in the smartphone sales. Honor increased the sales to 13.3 million units while Huawei ranked on 3rd position with sales of 15.7%. Both the manufacturers, Honor and Huawei hold 12.2% and 14.5% market share respectively.

On the other hand, Xiaomi fell 15% on YoY basis and churned 13.1 million sales with over 12% market share. Similarly, Apple has witnessed a sharp decline of 17% smartphone market in comparison to the last year. The Cupertino giant managed to rake up sales of 8.4 million units with a market share of upto 7.7%.

From there scenario above, it is directly visible that most of the brands have witnessed a colossal slump due to decline in global smartphone shipments. Though, great efforts from Huawei and Honor have allowed them to register a tremendous bump in the sale with respect to the last year.
