Smartisan Nut Pro 2 is the cheapest phone with 256GB of storage you can buy

Smartisan’s Nut Pro 2 might be a year old already but it packs the same specs present in a lot of phones released this year. Since it has been in the market for a while, it is no surprise that it is getting price cuts. If you are on the lookout for a phone with a large storage (read 256GB) that doesn’t break the bank, then the Nut Pro 2 is a great choice.

Smartisan Nut Pro 2 256GB price slash

The 256GB model of the Nut Pro 2 has 6GB of RAM and originally sold for ¥3299 (~$475), now its price has been slashed down to ¥2199 (~$316) which translates to 33% off its original price.

This model of the Nut Pro 2 doesn’t only have the largest storage but is also the model with NFC and an eSE (embedded Secure Element) – a tamper-proof chip that keeps user data safe and makes sure only authorized applications and persons can access it. The rest of the specs are the same as that of the other models.

The Smartisan Nut Pro 2 has a 5.99-inch FHD+ display and is powered by the Snapdragon 660 processor. It has a 12MP + 5MP dual camera combo on its back and a 16MP selfie camera.

Samsung Galaxy S10 Exynos variant to feature an advanced SLP circuit board

According to the latest report from Korean media, the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S10 smartphone will come with an advanced SPL (Substrate Like PCB) circuit board. The report also mentions that this will be for the Exynos variant of the phone only, and not the Snapdragon variant.

Earlier, it was reported that the Samsung Galaxy S9 also comes with the space-saving PCB in the Exynos variant but not in the Qualcomm-based chipset variant because of the “technical difficulties” in Qualcomm’s chipset to use such advanced system boards. It seems that the same difficulties are still present with the upcoming Galaxy S10 as well.

Samsung Galaxy S10 SLP Circuit Board

With the SLP motherboards, the chips are stacked or packed together, which helps in making their footprint much smaller. While most of today’s phones use 10 layers of copper on the PCB, the stacked SLP uses 20, permitting higher density of components in a given surface area. This makes extra space inside for other component, such as a larger battery, however, it’s not confirmed how the company plans to utilise the extra space.

Apple utilised the same design for its last year’s iPhone X, which follows in its successors too, enabling the company to introduce a bigger L-shaped battery inside. The SLP market is estimated at $1.9 billion in 2016 and $2.24 billion by 2023, with a 64 percent CAGR between 2017 and 2023.

The Samsung Galaxy S10 is expected to come in three models — SM-G970F, SM-G975F and SM-G973F. All three models of the Galaxy S10 have now been certified by China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology otherwise known as TENAA.

As per the previous reports, the SM-G970 and SM-G973 models are expected to be equipped with a 5.8-inch display with a single selfie camera and dual rear cameras. On the other hand, the SM-G975 model is expected to be the Galaxy S10 Plus, featuring five cameras; a triple rear camera setup and two front cameras. It will also feature a bigger 6.44-inch display. It is unclear whether there are design differences between the three phones.

The phone is also expected to feature an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor. In addition, there are reports that Samsung is still preparing the 5G version of the Galaxy S10. The 5G versions may only be available in specific markets such as the US and South Korea. We expect to know more details related to the Galaxy S10 as the phone’s launch nears.

Xiaomi Mi MIX 3 faster wireless charging support officially confirmed

The Xiaomi Mi MIX 2s that was announced in March this year is the company’s smartphone to carry support for wireless charging. Today, Xiaomi has confirmed that the MI MIX 3 that is launching on Oct. 25 will be equipped with faster wireless charging technology.

The Xiaomi Mi MIX 2s carries support for Qi standard 7.5W wireless charging which is the same wireless charging rate supported by the Apple iPhone X from last year. The newly announced Huawei Mate 20 series of flagship phones are equipped with faster 15W wireless charging technology. Now that Xiaomi has confirmed that faster wireless charging is arriving on the Mi MIX 3, it may carry support for 10W or higher faster wireless charging technology.

Xiaomi MIX MIX 3 faster wireless charging

Xiaomi Director of Product Management Donovan Sung has revealed that the Xiaomi Mi MIX 3 will carry support for 960fps slow-motion video shooting which is on par with recent flagship phones such as Samsung Galaxy Note 9 and Huawei Mate 20 Pro. This could mean that the MI MIX 3 will be arriving with new memory enabled camera sensors.

Xiaomi has already confirmed that the Mi MIX 3 is equipped with LED-enabled dual front-facing cameras. The smartphone was recently spotted in a leaked video that suggested that the Mi MIX 3 will offer an impressive screen-to-body ratio of around 95 percent. The Snapdragon 845 chipset will be the driving force of the smartphone. Initial reports have claimed that it will be equipped with an in-screen fingerprint reader, but a recent leak had revealed that it will be coming with a regular rear-facing fingerprint scanner.

Xiaomi has claimed that the Mi MIX 3 will be the first smartphone to arrive with 10 GB of RAM and it will also carry for 5G connectivity. The rumored regular variants of the Mi MIX 3 include 6 GB RAM + 128 GB storage, 8 GB RAM + 128 GB storage and 8 GB RAM + 256 GB storage.  The handset is expected to arrive in the market in color options like Black, Emerald Green and Sapphire Blue.

Huawei P20 drops from the 21st floor, some features still work!

Can your phone survive a fall from the 21st floor of a building and still work? We doubt if even the rugged smartphones around like Blackview, Nomu models can survive that. But a user of the Huawei P20 has an interesting story to tell after his phone accidentally slipped and fell while he was at the balcony of the 21st floor of a building. The owner had expected the phone to disintegrate completely when it hit the ground but that didn’t happen. Sure, the P20 model took some heavy bashing as a result of the fall but curiously, the phone did not stop working. As can be seen on the pictures shared, the phone still stayed powered on.

According to the owner, some features even continued working seamlessly. Features such as Face Unlock, fingerprint sensor, Bluetooth. Apart from physical damage to the fuselage and a broken rear camera, other features and apps such as the internet connection, WeChat etc still works normally. You can even receive calls with the phone.huawei P20

This obviously extols the build quality of the P20 as the height is more than 50 metres and way above the 50 metres drop-standard of most mobile phones. So, the device was just plain lucky to have survived the fall from such a height. Huawei China has offered to fix the phone. We’re sure the company may end up doling out a new one. It is also adviced that users get a protective casing.

Xiaomi Mi MIX 3 960 fps slow motion sample and 3D face unlock videos released

On Thursday, Xiaomi will be announcing the Xiaomi Mi MIX 3 smartphone. One of the improvements that will be arriving on the Mi MIX 3 is the inclusion of 960fps slow motion video shooting.

The Xiaomi Mi MIX 2S that was released earlier this year carries support for 720p and 1080p slow-motion video shooting at 240fps. Donovan Sung who is Xiaomi’ Director of Product Management has shared a new twee that showcases the marvelous 960fps slow-motion video shooting prowess of the upcoming Mi MIX 3 smartphone.

Rival flagship phones such as the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 and the recently announced Huawei Mate 20 Pro carry support for 960fps 1080p slow-motion video shooting. Even though the Mi MIX 2s is powered by the same Snapdragon 845 SoC that is present under the hood of the upcoming Mi MIX 3, the Mi MIX 2S did not support 960fps slow-motion video recording because it didn’t feature an image sensor with on-board memory. This indicates that the Mi MIX 3 will be arriving with improved dual rear cameras.

Another video that showcases the 3D face unlock of the Mi MIX 3. As it can be seen in the video below. After sliding the screen and moving it back to its original in a fraction of a second, the Mi MIX 3 takes just over a second to get unlocked.

A leaked photo of the real Mi MIX 3 smartphone had appeared in the previous week. It had revealed that the smartphone may offer nearly 95 percent screen space thanks to its slim bezels. The Chinese manufacturer has confirmed that the handset is equipped with 24-megapixel dual selfie shooters with flash.

Even though the rumor mill has been claiming that the MI MIX 3 will be arriving with an in-screen fingerprint reader, another leaked photo had shown the presence of a rear-facing fingerprint scanner. The handset is expected to arrive in the market in colors like Black, Emerald Green and Sapphire Blue.

The Upcoming Honor Watch could be a Hybrid, Registrations start tomorrow

Honor will announce a brand new Honor Watch smartwatch alongside the Honor Magic 2 flagship on October 31. Before the official launch, the watch is up for registrations starting tomorrow. The teaser poster also reveals a few details about the watch including its basic design.

Honor-Watch-Registrations-China

We are used to seeing beautiful watches from Honor’s parent company, Huawei, like the new Huawei Watch GT. On the other hand, Honor has usually stuck to smart bands and the most smartwatch-like device from the brand has been the two-year-old Honor Watch S1. However, this might change with the new Honor Watch as the first image of the device shows promise. The design is very much like the Huawei Watch GT with a circular dial and two buttons on the side.

Honor Watch close up
Honor Watch close up

What’s interesting is that the watch seems to have physical hands. We can’t confirm it for sure, but the hands seem to be very prominent in the pictures. A hybrid watch would make sense to some extent since Honor leans towards the affordable market and a smartwatch hybrid would be a much cheaper and good looking option than something like a full-fledged smartwatch similar to the Huawei Watch GT.

The Honor Watch goes up for registrations from tomorrow (October 23) at 10:08AM on VMall, JD.com and Suning. So, we are expecting more details soon.

The Nokia X7 will launch globally as the Nokia 8.1 not 7.1 Plus

The Nokia X6 launched globally as the Nokia 6.1 Plus and the Nokia X5 is sold outside China as the Nokia 5.1 Plus. Following this trend, it means the global variant of the Nokia X7 should go by the Nokia 7.1 Plus, right? Wrong!

A few days ago, a device called the Nokia 8.1 was seen on Geekbench. We were a bit disappointed to learn that the successor to the Nokia 8 will come with a mid-range processor and not the Snapdragon 845. It turns out that that the Nokia 8.1 is the global version of the Nokia X7.

https://twitter.com/nokiamobileru/status/1053977142315438080

https://twitter.com/nokiamobileru/status/1054033577233539073

The decision to change the name was made by Juho Sarvikas, chief product manager at HMD Global according to a tweet by @Nokia anew. The account claims they were informed of the name change by unnamed sources.

Further explanations by Phonearena reveal HMD Global is converting the Nokia 8 series into an upper mid-range series while the Nokia 9 PureView will be the company’s flagship model scheduled to launch early next year.

Honor Magic 2 shows up on TENAA with six cameras, Android Pie and more

The Honor Magic 2 launches next week but you don’t have to wait that long to know what its specs are. Two variants of the phone have popped up on TENAA baring it all and believe us when we say the Magic 2 is packed!

The two variants are the Honor TNY-AL00 and the Honor TNY-TL00. The differences between both phones are the memory and storage configuration.

Honor Magic 2

The Honor Magic 2 packs a 6.39-inch AMOLED screen with a 2340 x 1080. Unfortunately, TENAA hasn’t provided any images yet. Powering the phone is a 2.6GHz octa-core processor which we already know is the Kirin 980. The TNY-TL00 model has 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage while the TNY-AL00 model comes in two variants – one has 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage and the other has 8GB of RAM and a 256GB ROM.

The Magic 2 goes the way of the Mate 20 series and packs triple rear cameras. They aren’t LEICA branded but they are higher than that of the Mate 20. So you get a 16MP + 24MP + 16MP combo. Honor doesn’t stop there. The phone also has triple front-facing cameras, the first for a mobile phone – bringing the number of cameras on this phone to 6 in total.

The front cameras are a 16MP sensor paired with a 20MP sensor and a 2MP sensor. A tweet by Huawei Club says the last two cameras are 3D TOF (Time of Flight) lens. Based on what we know about ToF technology, we know it can be used for 3D face mapping for face unlock, gesture control, AR, and Mixed Reality gaming.

TENAA confirms the phone has an in-display fingerprint scanner but won’t have an audio jack as it mentions a 3.5mm audio adapter. It will run Android 9 Pie out of the box and pack a 3,400mAh battery. We already know it will have support for 40W fast charging but we have no confirmation about support for wireless charging.

It’s confirmed that the phone will come with three camera sensors on the back along with AI-based features. What’s surprising is that there are three cameras on the front as well (via TENAA listing).  Honor Magic 2 02

The phone is expected to come with an AMOLED display and nearly 100 percent screen-to-body ratio, however, we’ll have to wait for the official launch to know for sure. It’s also confirmed that the device will be powered by HiSilicon Kirin 980 octa-core chipset, which is manufactured using the 7nm process, same as the Apple’s A12 Bionic chipset.

Honor Magic 2 03

Recently, the company’s executive Zhao George confirmed through Weibo that the phone will come with support for 40W fast charging technology. It is also expected to make use of graphene in one way or the other. Further, the phone will also feature an in-display fingerprint sensor, similar to what we’ve seen in Vivo NEX.

OPPO K1 launches as the OPPO R15X with more storage and a new color variant

The OPPO R15X is official and to be honest, there isn’t much to be excited about. Save for the new Ice gradient color which looks pretty good and the larger storage, this is the OPPO K1 that launched a few weeks ago with a new name.

OPPO R15X Featured

The OPPO R15X didn’t get a proper launch but its already listed on the official website. It will go on sale on the 1st of November for ¥2499 (~$360).

The back of the phone is covered in 3D glass with dual cameras at the top left corner. OPPO doesn’t state the specs of the cameras but since we know this is the K1, the cameras are a 16MP f/1.7 sensor and a 2MP f/2.4 depth sensor. There are a bunch of features such as scene recognition, portrait mode, and time-lapse photography.

OPPO R15X Nebula and Ice

The OPPO R15X runs ColorOS 5.2 based on Android Oreo out of the box. It has a game mode, supports secure payment, and a smart assistant that learns your usage habits.

Meizu M8 Note launch to be online-only, Beijing event cancelled

Just after announcing the Meizu M8 Note launch at the Beijing Performing Arts Center on October 25, now Meizu has suddenly canceled the event. Meizu has cited some “site reasons” behind the cancellation of the launch event. The event site, Beijing Performing Arts center has some issues which led to the cancellation of the event.  Well, it seems quite absurd as many OEMs launch their devices at the same venue and has never met with these issues.

Well, whatever the actual reason is, it will remain under wraps as no one is going to give an explanation about it. So, for now, users can stick with the online broadcast at 19:30 Beijing Time (11:30 AM GMT) on October 25th. We will share the live streaming details on the day of Meizu M8 Note launch.

As far as the specs are concerned, Meizu M8 Note is touted as the “national camera phone” by the company. It will be interesting to know, how Meizu M8 Note camera stands against its competitors.

There will be a 12 megapixel + 5-megapixel dual shooter and f/1.9 large aperture. While on the front an 8-megapixel shooter will take place for selfies.

 

 

Additionally, there will be a 5.7-inch display with the resolution of 2160 x 1080 pixels having an aspect ratio of 18:9. It will be powered by a 2.0GHz octa-core processor which we think might be the Helio P60. As of now only 4GB RAM and 64 GB internal storage variant details are available. The phone runs on Android 8.1 Oreo and packs a 3,000mAh battery. It is expected to retail at the price of 1000-1500 yuan (~$144-$216).
