Popular tipster Benjamin Geskin has claimed that the budget version of the Galaxy S10 will be featuring the Infinity-O display. He also shared key information on the specs and pricing of the phone.

The budget version of the Galaxy S10 will probably carry “Lite” moniker and it is expected to get announced alongside the Galaxy S10 and Galaxy S10+ smartphones at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2019 in February in the coming year. The Infinity-O display that is now rumored to be available on the S10 Lite will provide users with an impressive screen space since there will be slimmer bezels all around the screen. For the selfie camera, the display of the S10 Lite will feature a small cut-out at the top-left corner.

Previous rumors had claimed that the Galaxy S10 Lite would be equipped with a single rear camera. According to Geskin, the rear panel of the Galaxy S10 Lite will be equipped with a dual camera setup. It is speculated that it may feature a horizontally arranged dual camera system. Like the Galaxy A7 (2018) smartphone that was announced recently, the Galaxy S10 Lite is also expected to feature a side-mounted fingerprint reader.

The tipster is not sure about the chipset that will be powering the S10 Lite. He has claimed that either the Snapdragon 845 or the upcoming Snapdragon 8150 will be fueling the smartphone. The S10 Lite is tipped to arrive in variants such as 4 GB RAM + 64 GB storage, 6 GB RAM + 64 GB storage and 6 GB RAM + 128 GB storage.

HMD Global is sure having a great time in its bid to revive the once ailing Nokia brand so far, the Finnish company has been successful in its mission. Apart from releasing good smartphones, the company is also ensuring it offers fans regular software updates. Thus, the new Nokia X7 that was announced in China about this time last month is now set to get updated to Android Pie.

Nokia X7 a.k.a Nokia 8.1 — Nokia X7 will launch outside China as the Nokia 8.1

The Nokia X7 moniker is exclusive to China while the global version is tipped to launch as Nokia 7.1 Plus in no distant time. So, this article is about the China-exclusive mode which came running Android 8.1 Oreo under Google’s Android One program. There are indications that HMD has started recruiting beta testers for the Nokia X7 to try out an early version of the Android 9.0 Pie update.

The recruitment is carried out on the company’s Weibo account and is open to persons who are running the official launch software and have never unlocked or rooted the model. Since this is an early build, intending testers are adviced to back up their data in case something goes wrong. As stated before, this is a closed beta so, testers are even required to sign a confidentiality agreement. We expect the company to launch a broader open beta testing programme that would accommodate more persons and would eventually give birth to the release of a stable ROM. The early update also implies that when the model is launched for the global market, it wouldn’t take long before getting Android Pie update.

The Mi MIX 2S is one of the Xiaomi phones that has received the Mi MIX 3‘s Night Mode camera feature. Chinese photographer, Cai Shi, already got the update and decided to give it a spin. Below are camera samples that were taken with night mode on. The ones directly below is compared with another one taken with the normal mode.

The picture above does show there is a significant improvement when you shoot with Night Mode on. You can see the scales on the dragon statue and even the grooves inside its mouth. However, night mode isn’t perfect. For example, in the third image below, the photo seems overexposed.

Nov 12, 2018

OPPO seems to have two new mid-range phones in development. The two phones have appeared on TENAA as the OPPO PBBM30 and the OPPO PBBT30.

The OPPO PBBM30 and OPPO PBBT30 share the same specs, so they are most likely network variants. They have 6.2-inch 1520 x 720 displays. TENAA says the processor in both phones is a 1.8GHz octa-core chipset paired with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage.

[envira-gallery id=”222323″]

On the back of the phones is a 13MP + 2MP dual camera system while an 8MP camera sits in front. The cameras are arranged horizontally based on the images provided. The phones don’t have a fingerprint scanner but there should be Face Unlock.

TENAA reveals they run Android 8.1 Oreo but expect ColorOS on top. Under the hood is a 4,100mAh battery. There is also support for storage expansion (256GB max.). Both phones will be available in black and red. Their dimensions are given as 156.1 x 75.7 x 8.2 mm and they weigh 170g.

Android Q will upgrade Split-screen feature to allow two apps run actively without pausing

By

Nov 12, 2018

One of the awesome features of smartphone interface provided by latest Android versions is the multi-window operations. The feature has existed in different forms over the years until the release of Android Nougat which brought a predictable and uniform implementation of multi-window support. Presently, there are three different multi-window modes: split-screen, freeform, and picture-in-picture which is available for phones in Android Oreo.

The split-screen feature lets users run two apps side by side but that isn’t entirely true. Usually, the two apps can not run in real-time as one will be paused while the other one is active. For instance, if a user tries to run a gaming app and watch a video at the same time, if the video is active, the game will be paused and vice versa. Users will need to click on the on the window they want to be active before it will start running. Presently, there is no provision in stock Android to retain both apps as active and Android Pie has no solution. However, that will soon change with the coming Android Q. thanks to Android’s recently added support for foldable smartphones.

Google is now reportedly introducing a new feature called “multi-resume” which is set to become mandatory in Android Q. The multi-resume feature will make it possible for multiple apps to be open and actually be running at the same time. Google will also start allowing manufacturers to keep all apps resumed/active when in multi-window. At present, this feature is available on Samsung latest models with the “MultiStar” module in Good Lock and in no distant time, native support will be available on all Android devices. There is even the possibility of the feature becoming available on Android Pie but since it has shipped, both the OEM and the app will have to opt-in in order to test this feature on an existing Android Pie device. This will be a joint effort of OEMs and app developers and since it is a good feature, it might get adopted early. Thus, OEMs will need to roll out an update to include support for multi-resume on the particular smartphone, and the app developer also needs to include a special tag in their Manifest to enable functionality for their particular app.

Android Q will, however, come with the multi-resume support as a mandatory behaviour. This is a sure indication that foldable smartphones will be the trend of 2019 as the feature is very much need for the interface to work with fluidity. Large screen smartphones and phones with split-screen support will find the feature beneficial as it would allow multitasking with ease.

Expected release date and price for Samsung Galaxy F

Nov 12, 2018

The highlight of Samsung‘s Developer Conference was the announcement of its foldable smartphone. While we did see the device in action and had a glimpse of the new One UI designed for it, there was no specific information on when it would be revealed.

Details have surfaced from Korea about a likely release date not only for the phone which has been dubbed the Galaxy F but also the Galaxy S10 series.

According to The Korea Herald, the Galaxy F and the Galaxy S10 series will be launched in March 2019. This will be after their official unveiling at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.

The launch of the Galaxy S series isn’t unusual since that is more or less the period they get unveiled but since Samsung already said the Galaxy F would launch before the second half of the year, the March release date isn’t out of place.

Samsung also revealed to the press that it plans to make at least a million units of the phone at first and see how the reception is before making more. However, it won’t be cheap. Unconfirmed sources have said it will be priced at about $1800 which would make it one of Samsung’s most expensive phones.

Xiaomi scored big in the just concluded 11-11 Singles Sales, recording a total of 5.75 billion Yuan in sales. Just a few hours after that announcement, the manufacturer has released a new poster for a phone launching tomorrow.

Patent reveals next iPhone may have a hole in its display

By

Nov 12, 2018

At the Samsung Developer Conference last week, the phone maker announced four new display types. One of them is the Infinity O, a display with a hole in it for the camera. This design is expected to become mainstream next year judging from the patents and leaks we have seen from other manufacturers in the past few weeks. It appears Apple may also be joining the bandwagon.

The folks at LetsGoDigital have got their hands on a new Apple patent that shows an iPhone with a hole for the camera in the display. The patent which is titled “Integrated Camera Window” was filed at the United States Patent and Trademark Office in June.

The attached images show the camera will be in the top right corner of the display. The display will be covered with a chemically strengthened glass according to the patent which may or may not have a hole of its own. There is even an example of strengthening the glass in a chemical bath containing potassium nitrate (KNO3) at an elevated temperature and for several hours. The result is a glass cover that can withstand higher compression stress.

The patent description is quite detailed and you can take a look at it here. There are speculations that Apple may be working towards making it a reality with the 2019 iPhones but we advise you don’t get your hopes high. Just because they filed a patent doesn’t guarantee it will become a commercial product.

The Helo came with a price tag of 3,199 yuan ($459) which is pretty impressive for a gaming phone. The Weibo poster announcing the emergence of the brand as the 11.11 gaming smartphone champion but was silent on the number of units or the revenue generated from the sales.

Honor has a new phone coming and it just released a teaser poster for it. The image was shared on its Weibo page and from the text on it, the phone will belong to the Honor 10 series.

There are rumors the phone is the Honor 10 Lite which makes sense since the Honor 9 Lite was released in December 2017 and is already due for an upgrade. There are also others that are of the opinion that the phone is the Honor 10i but seeing as the Honor 9i was released back in July, it might be a bit early for a successor.

The image also shows the silhouette of a new brand ambassador which some have guessed to be Zhu Zhengting, a Chinese singer who also models and is an actor.

The Honor 10 Lite or Honor 10i will come with at least dual rear cameras, an 18:9 display or similar and the new Kirin 710 processor. It will likely run Android Oreo out of the box and be available in multiple RAM and storage variants.

Huawei Mate 20 Pro’s reverse wireless charging is practically unusable

By

Nov 12, 2018

Huawei Mate 20 Pro is packed with various advanced features such as triple rear cameras, 3D facial recognition, under display fingerprint reader, wireless charging and wireless reverse charging. According to Huawei, the Mate 20 Pro supports up to 15W wireless charging. However, it hasn’t mentioned anything on the charging rate of the wireless reverse charging feature on the Mate 20 Pro.

In order to enable to wireless reverse charging feature, one needs to navigate to the related listing available inside battery settings. Huawei has not provided an easy to access toggle to enable or disable reverse wireless charging. Once enabled, users need to quickly place the device that needs to be charged on the backside of the Mate 20 Pro. If the other device is not placed instantly, the feature turns off automatically in few seconds to prevent power wastage.

Android Authority has examined the wireless reverse charging technology of the Mate 20 Pro to find out its charging rate. The Google Pixel 3 can support 10W wireless charging through Made by Google certified products such as Pixel Stand wireless charger. With third-party wireless chargers, the charging rate reduces to standard 5W.

AccuBattery is an app that can be used to get a rough idea of the charging speed. The app was used by the publication to check the wireless reverser charging speed of the Mate 20 Pro when it was used for charging Google Pixel 3.

Huawei was expected to announce FlyPods wireless earbuds at the launch event of Mate 20 series. Instead, it was unveiled on the day when Honor Magic 2 was made official.
