The already delayed Meizu X8 spotted in Two Beautiful Gradient colors! Goes on sale tomorrow

Oct 24, 2018

Meizu X8 is the company’s first attempt at a notched screen smartphone. While we weren’t exactly excited to see a notch on a Meizu phone (they have been avoiding it all this time), the X8 turned out to be a pretty competitive smartphone, featuring the premium mid-range Snapdragon 710 under $250. Overall, the phone offers tremendous value for money at its competitive price tag. Unfortunately, those who were eager to get their hands on the device had to go through multiple delays. But there seems to be a small surprise in store as the phone has been spotted in two beautiful gradient variants.

[envira-gallery id=”218662″]

Back when Meizu announced the X8, it was available in three colors: Blue, Black, and White. These are pretty good colors but in this age where even mid-rangers are coming in beautiful gradient colors, the plain color schemes on the X8 could have looked a bit outdated. The company seems to be readying two gradient color options: Blue-Purple and Gold-Pink. From the teaser video, it looks like they’ll have a high gloss finish, but overall, they look quite beautiful. Interestingly, if you remember, the Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite (Xiaomi’s first gradient model) came in similar gradient color options. So Meizu could have been inspired by the Mi 8 Lite in getting these colors right on its new model.

The company was unable to arrange sufficient stock for the Meizu X8 (display production issues) before the scheduled October 15 date. As a result, it had to release an apology letter to its fans and postponed the release to October 25. It’s highly likely that we’ll hear about these two gradient versions tomorrow.

The OnePlus 6T has kept the media buzzing for a while now, ahead of its October 29 unveiling. Almost all of the details of the flagship model including the design are known already. The device has now appeared on GeekBench with the model number OnePlus A6013 to give us an idea of the device’s benchmark performance. Recall that the OnePlus 6 appeared on GeekBench with the model number A6003.

The GeekBench listing reveals the presence of a Snapdragon 845 chipset and 8GB of RAM onboard the model. Thus, it is no surprise that the benchmark score is almost similar to those of the OnePlus 6. On the single core test, the OnePlus 6T polled 2387 points while on the multi-core test, it scored 8925 points. Compare it to the the OnePlus 6 single core test score of 2402 and multi-core test score of 8931 points.

The OnePlus 6T’s GeekBench listing also affirms the presence of the Android 9.0 Pie operating system out of the box. We also expect a 6GB RAM variant to be released as well.

Oct 24, 2018

The Helio P60 is one of the best chipsets from MediaTek and it’s no surprise it appeared in quite a number of smartphones from big brands this year. Today, MediaTek has announced a new chipset – the Helio P70 and it is expected to build on the success of the P60.

The Helio P70 isn’t very different from the P60. The chipset is still built by TSMC using their 12nm FinFET technology, has Cortex-A73 and Cortex A53 cores in the same 4+4 arrangement, and features the same ARM Mali-G72 GPU. What has changed is the clock speeds.

The CPU is now clocked at 2.1GHz for the A73 cores and 2.0GHz for the A53 cores. The GPU is also clocked higher at 900MHz. MediaTek says the higher clock speed results in a 13% increase in performance. The AI processing unit (APU) also brings a 10-30% improvement in processing efficiency compared to the Helio P60.

Gaming hasn’t taken a back seat. Compared to the P60, the Helio P70 uses 35% less power and provides 7% DOU in games that require higher processing power. The chipset also supports up to a single 32MP camera or 24+16MP dual cameras. There is a new high-resolution depth engine that provides a 3x boost in depth-mapping performance. It also has a hardware warping engine for electronic image stabilization (EIS) that saves 23mA per second instead of assigning it to the GPU.

Oct 24, 2018

Qualcomm unveiled the Snapdragon 675 chipset on Monday in China and Sweden with its focus being on enabling outstanding gaming experiences, advanced AI capabilities, and “cutting-edge” camera performance. During the event, the U.S chipmaker delved into the trending topic of 5G connectivity. Qualcomm announced a number of breakthroughs it had achieved on the next-generation 5G technology.

Most of the things disclosed are technical and rather vague but the bottom line is that they will help pave the way for the arrival of the world’s first commercially available 5G mobile devices next year. Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X50 modem which will power the 5G technology will be on a number of phones from major OEMs including the OnePlus 7. Qualcomm released a list o 19 OEMs who it says are already committed to its 5G vision for 2019. The list contains popular brands such as ASUS, Xiaomi, OnePlus, OPPO, Vivo, HMD, HTC, Sony, Sharp, LG and Motorola. Others include Fujitsu, computer networking firm Netgear, wireless communications equipment maker Sierra and a couple of names that don’t sound familiar as far as mobile phones are concerned. It is possible Qualcomm is collaborating with these companies to speed up the rollout of the 5G infrastructure on carrier networks.

A number of the listed smartphone makers have already confirmed they will launch a 5G-capable phone next year but we can’t say who will be the first. Other firms such as Huawei and Samsung and perhaps Apple are likely also working on the emerging technology.

Oct 24, 2018

In a new announcement, Motorola has partnered with iFixit for OEM repair kits. Under the iFixit #righttorepair campaign, Lenovo owned Motorola has made a stand to offer its customers OEM repair kits to fix their Motorola devices. iFixit is a company which provides repair parts for various consumer electronic products. It helps consumers to repair their devices themselves by selling the repairing kits. It also offers dedicated video courses for fixing.

iFixit always tries to convince OEMs to let users repair their devices themselves, rather than shooting to the service centers. Some companies have already partnered with iFixit on this take, and Motorola is the latest OEM who has joined the club.

Speaking on the occasion of partnership, iFixit says, “Motorola is setting an example for major manufacturers to embrace a more open attitude towards repair. If you’re a Motorola customer, you can now either send in your broken device directly to Motorola for repair—or you can fix it yourself with the highest quality parts and tools, plus a free step-by-step guide, all included in our official Motorola OEM Fix Kits.”

Currently, there are two types of kits that iFixit has made available on their website. iFixit is providing a particular battery replacement kit and an LCD screen replacement kit. About 70-80% repair for a mobile device is regarding its battery or display. So in order to make the most of the deal, iFixit has made available only battery and display replacement kits.

Along with the genuine replacement parts, iFixit has also added tools that you need while doing the repair of Motorola devices. Both the kits include screwdrivers, bits, tweezers, spudger, opening tool and much more.

iFixit has made available these kits for the devices such as Moto X, Moto X Pure, Moto G4/G4 Plus, Moto Z/Moto Z Play/Z Force Droid, Moto G5 Plus and Droid Turbo 2. We hope in the upcoming times, iFixit will add new Motorola devices’ repair kits in the store.

Xiaomi Mi MIX 3 is all set to go official tomorrow. Since the day Xiaomi announced the Oct. 25 launch date for the smartphone, it has been consistently teasing on its features. Today, the Chinese manufacturer has released the first commercial of the smartphone which reveals something important about the smartphone.

A leaked photo of the Mi MIX 3 that had appeared in the previous week had revealed that it features a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner.

A recent leak has revealed that the Mate 20 Pro will be arriving in rear fingerprint scanner and in-screen fingerprint reader variants. The latter is expected to arrive Mate 20 Pro UD moniker and feature advanced specs. There is a possibility that Xiaomi may also sell the Mi MIX 3 in rear fingerprint sensor and under-display fingerprint scanner versions. Besides Black, the phone is expected to land in China in Emerald Green and Sapphire Blue color editions.

Update:

Chinese publication ITHome has shared the following zoomed image to claim that the Mi MIX 3 handset shown in the commercial does feature a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner. If it is so, Xiaomi has smartly concealed the rear fingerprint reader!
