Huawei Nova 4 makes appearance at brand ambassador’s birthday

Huawei has not been specific about when the Nova 4 will launch in December but it appears it isn’t concerned about hiding the phone from the eyes of the public. Today, the Nova 4 made an appearance at the birthday party of the Nova series brand ambassador.

Chinese singer and member of musical pop group TFBoys, Jackson Yee, is a brand ambassador for Huawei’s Nova series and today is his eighteenth birthday. At the elaborate birthday party which had lots of guests present and was live-streamed, Huawei’s upcoming Nova 4 also made an appearance.

Images taken from the livestream show the phone’s front and the hole in its display. As you can see, the hole which houses the front-facing camera is on the same line as the network and notification icons. The position of the hole should be less distracting compared to a notch but the phone’s software should behave the same way it does for notched phones i.e black bars at the sides when watching a video.

Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite Gradient color back panel is actually a transparent glass panel!

Nov 28, 2018

Xiaomi unveiled the Mi 8 Lite alongside the Mi 8 Pro on September 19 with the two models coming out with premium designs. While the Mi 8 Pro is postured as a flagship continuation of the Mi 8, the Mi 8 Lite has a mid-range posture and that is reflected in the affordable pricing it adopts. The Mi 8 Lite also comes out as the first Xiaomi model to feature a gradient glass design. It comes in Dream Blue, Twilight Gold and Deep Space Gray colour variants. All three use the gradient colour hue.

Xiaomi has now revealed an interesting detail of the Mi 8 Lite rear glass panel. According to a short video shared on video sharing platform Miaopai, the Mi 8 Lite rear panel is actually a transparent glass panel when removed from the device. This leaves us wondering how the transparent glass was able to look like coloured glass when adorned on the Mi 8. The Chinese company explained that the glass has a number of tiny coatings, forming a nano-scale of different thickness on the surface. This design relies on the refractive properties of glass such that when the light hit the glass, the rays get scattered using optical properties such as interference, absorption and diffraction to give us the gradient hue. When in the open, it is a clear transparent glass but when place on top of a dark cardboard sheet, the Blue gradient hue comes through. This same principle applies for all three gradient variants the Mi 8 Lite is available in.

Despite the glass back, the Mi 8 Lite is just 7.5mm thick which means the glass isn’t very thick. Another thing, if you don’t believe this, Xiaomi has asked that you can try taking off the rear panel to confirm this. That may not be a good idea anyway, except you have got the expertise. You should check out the short video from below.

HMD Global jumped on the notch train this year starting with the Nokia X6 which launched internationally as the Nokia 6.1 Plus. The Nokia 5.1 Plus (Nokia X5 in China) came next and then the Nokia 7.1 and the Nokia X7 which will launch globally as the Nokia 8.1.

If you don’t like these phones because they have a notch, then you may be comforted to know that HMD Global will not release another phone with a notch. The info comes from Twitter account Nokia anew (@nokiamobileru) which has posted details about Nokia phones that turned out to be true.

According to the account, the Nokia 6.2, which should be the successor to the Nokia 6.1/Nokia 6 (2018) will not have a notch. Instead, it will feature an “interesting solution” as the account puts it. The rest of the tweet says “Thus Nokia 8.1 can complete the Nokia “notch parade” in the Nokia line-up”.

Nov 28, 2018

Comio, a China-based smartphone manufacturer, has shut down its operations in India effective immediately, just about a year later it started its operations in one of the largest smartphone markets in the world. The company has confirmed that it will seize to exist and close the entire operations by February 2019 after settling all pending issues.

Comio India has also filed a police complaint against its Chinese parent company Topwise Communications for closing its operations immediately without honoring the commitments and withdrawing their after-sales services.

The development comes to light after the Comio India CEO Sanjay Kalirona shared an email to all of their distribution channels stating that the company has been forced to shut down its India operations. He revealed that the company was forced down this path following lack of capital investment from the parent company.

Citing lack of support from the Chinese promoters and some personal reasons, Sanjay Kalirona announced that he had stepped down from the Board of the Company, though he continued to work as the CEO. He says that the Chinese management and himself decided to close Comio India operations and at the end of October and planned to settle all pending issues in the next three to four months.

He further adds that the company also decided to continue the after-sale service operations for another one year. However, he alleged that all the Chinese team members left India in the first week of November abruptly, and asked the team in India to shut down its operations immediately.

After the brand’s arrival in the Indian market last year, the company had projected to sell about one million units of Comio branded smartphones in India by March 2018. However, the company was able to sell almost nine lakh devices in its one-year journey.

Last year, in November, Comio had revealed that it is going to establish its India R&D operations and had also started assembling its smartphone models in the country locally and planned to strengthen. It was also planning to establish its brand presence with a network of 30,000 retailers, 800 distributors, and over 800 after-sales touch points.
