Nov 11, 2018

A report surfaced a few days ago that Samsung will be axing some of its current series. These include the Galaxy J, Galaxy On, and Galaxy C series. All three will be merged into a new series called the Galaxy M.

The Galaxy M series will take on a double-digit nomenclature, so expect models such as Galaxy M30, M40 and so on. The Galaxy M series will reportedly have LCD displays, though a high-end model with an AMOLED display is also said to be in development. The switch to LCD is to keep the price low.

In other news, information about two models belonging to the upcoming series has surfaced and it also contains details about their storage variants.

The devices have model numbers SM-M205F and SM-M305F and if the rumored naming scheme is indeed correct, they should launch as the Galaxy M20 and the Galaxy M30 respectively.

Nov 11, 2018

Vulkan is Qualcomm‘s latest 3D graphics API. It was released as a successor to OpenGL. The new API is present in Adreno 5xx and Adreno 6xx GPUs and brings high-performance graphics to mobiles.

One of the advantages of the Vulkan API is that it is multi-threading friendly, unlike OpenGL. It does this by “providing a buffer system that can leverage all CPU cores to submit tasks to the GPU and perform memory operations”. The Vulkan API also makes cross-platform development between PC, consoles and mobile devices easier.

It turns out that Qualcomm has been working with game developers to optimize their games to take advantage of the new API. The result of one of the partnerships is an optimized version of the popular mobile game, King of Glory.

Qualcomm has released a list of supported devices that work with the new version of the game:

Xiaomi – Mi MIX 3, Mi 8 Pro, Mi 8 Explorer Edition, Mi 8 Lite, mi 8, Mi 8 SE, Mi MIX 2S, Mi MIX 2, Mi Note 3, Redmi 6X, Redmi Note 5.
OPPO – OPPO Find X
OnePlus – OnePlus 6, OnePlus 6T
Vivo – Vivo Z3, Vivo X23

Samsung Galaxy J4 Core vs Nokia 2.1 vs Moto E5 Play: the Android Go comparison

By

Nov 10, 2018

Android Go devices are the most interesting smartphones in the lowest price range. Thanks to an enlightened version of Google’s operating system, they can provide a good level of performance even though they have outdated hardware or components which would be obsolete with a normal version of Android. Today, Samsung launched its second Android Go phone: the Galaxy J4 Core. In this article, we compared it with two other interesting Android Go devices: Nokia 2.1 and Motorola Moto E5 Play.

Samsung Galaxy J4 Core vs Nokia 2.1 vs Motorola Moto E5 Play

	Samsung Galaxy J4 Core	Nokia 2.1	Motorola Moto E5 Play
DIMENSIONS AND WEIGHT	161.4 x 76.9 x 7.9 mm	153.6 x 77.6 x 9.7 mm, 174 grams	151 x 74 x 9 mm, 150 grams
DISPLAY	6 inches, 720 x 1480 pixels, 274 ppi, 18:9 ratio, IPS LCD	5.5 inches, 720 x 1280p (HD), 267 ppi, 16:9 ratio, IPS LCD	5.2 inches, 720 x 1280 pixels, 282 ppi, 16:9 ratio, IPS LCD
PROCESSOR	Samsung Exynos 7570, quad-core 1.4 GHz	Qualcomm Snapdragon 425, quad-core 1.4 GHz	Qualcomm Snapdragon 425, octa-core 1.4 GHz or Snapdragon 427
MEMORY	1 GB RAM, 16 GB – micro SD slot	1 GB RAM, 8 GB – micro SD dedicated slot	2 GB RAM, 16 GB – micro SD slot

CAMERA	8 MP f/2.2 5 MP f/2.2 front camera	8 MP 5 MP front camera	8 MP f/2.0 5 MP front camera
BATTERY	3300 mAh	4000 mAh	2800 mAh
ADDITIONAL FEATURES	Hybrid Dual SIM slot	Dual SIM slot	Hybrid Dual SIM slot

Design

You can not expect the best look from a phone that costs less than $150, and indeed, all of these devices feature a not exciting polycarbonate design. The most beautiful is the Samsung Galaxy J4 Core as it boasts thinner bezels and a higher screen-to-body ratio. Further, it is also way thinner than its opponents. On the other hand, Moto E5 Play is more interesting in terms of build quality as it is splash resistant.

Display

Samsung Galaxy J4 Core and Nokia 2.1 have the most interesting displays. They are very wide (6 inches 18:9 vs 5.5 inches 16:9) and they feature an HD resolution. The best phone for multimedia use is Nokia 2.1 because it has more powerful stereo speakers.

Specs

With its 2 GB of RAM making the difference, Moto E5 Play is the phone with the best hardware department. It can provide better performances, especially in multitasking. Further, it exists in a variant with the Snapdragon 427 SoC which is even better than Snapdragon 425. Nokia 2.1 has the worst hardware side with just 8 GB of internal storage, but it is the only one to have a micro SD dedicated slot which matters if you are planning to use the dual SIM functionality.

Camera

Motorola Moto E5 Play is the one I prefer even when it comes to cameras. Indeed, it has a rear camera with a brighter aperture than its opponents: f/2.0. You will still get disappointing photos if we compare this device with actual mid-rangers, but with its bright aperture and a nice pixel size, the final result is slightly better.

Battery

Nokia 2.1 has the biggest battery with a capacity of 4000 mAh which is huge for an entry-level device. Indeed, it can last two full days even with a very stressed use, thanks to both the capacity and the very efficient components. Samsung Galaxy J4 Core takes the second place with its 3300 mAh unit which is all but disappointing for the same reasons.

Price

You can get these devices for a very affordable price thanks to Android Go. Nokia 2.1 costs about €100/$113, Moto E5 Play carries a price tag of about €80/$90, while the price tag of Samsung Galaxy J4 Core is not known yet. I would personally pick Nokia 2.1 because of its bigger battery and stereo speakers.

Vivo Y95 spotted on Geekbench, retail box and promo image leaks

Nov 10, 2018

The Vivo Y95 is an upcoming mid-range phone that is expected to launch in India very soon. The phone’s specs and pricing leaked a few days ago. It has now been followed by images of its retail box and a promo poster, in addition to a Geekbench listing.

The Vivo Y95 was benchmarked a few days ago and it appears as the “vivo vivo 1807” on the site. The phone is running Android 8.1 Oreo and has 4GB of RAM. The chipset isn’t stated, instead what you have is ”QC_Reference_Phone”. Though we do know it is an octa-core processor with a base frequency of 1.96GHz. Our guess is that the Vivo Y95 is powered by the Snapdragon 439 processor just like the Vivo Y93 which was announced in China last week.

Images of the phone’s retail box have also been shared online. As you can see above, the Vivo Y95 has a water-drop notch which is home to a 20MP AI selfie camera. On the back of the box, it is revealed the phone has a 6.22-inch Halo FullView Display and packs a 4030mAh battery.

[envira-gallery id=”222024″]

The bottom of the box lists the phone’s model number as Vivo 1807 just like the Geekbench listing above. It also mentions the phone will have 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. The color of the unit in the retail box is Starry Black.

Xiaomi India announces increase in price of Redmi 6, Redmi 6A, Mi TVs and more, cites weakened Rupee

By

-

Nov 10, 2018

Just a few days ago, Realme announced it was increasing the prices of two of its products – the Realme 2 and the Realme C1. The company which is an off-shoot of OPPO gave the reason for the upward price adjustment to be the weakening Indian Rupee. Today, it is Xiaomi‘s turn to increase prices and it affects a lot more products.

The announcement was made on Twitter by the managing director of Xiaomi India, Manu Jumar Jain. He explained that the reason for the price increase is due to the Indian Rupee’s depreciation against the US Dollar by ~15% since the beginning of the year. Below is a list of the affected products and their new prices:

Redmi 6A

The 2GB RAM + 16GB and 2GB RAM + 32GB models of the Redmi 6A will add INR 600 and INR 500 to their old prices respectively and will now be sold for INR 6,599 (~$91) and INR 7,499 (~$104).

Redmi 6

The Redmi 6 with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage will also get a INR 500 price increase and will be sold for INR 8,499 (~$117) henceforth.

Mi LED TV

The price increase affects the Mi LED TV 4C Pro 32 and the Mi LED TV 4A Pro 49. Xiaomi has added INR 1,000 and INR 2,000 to their old prices respectively. Henceforth, the 32-inch 4C Pro will be sold for INR 15,999 (~$220) and the 49-inch 4A Pro will go for INR 31,999 (~$441).

Xiaomi entered into the Indian smart TV market this year and has now become the number one brand in the segment. However, the increase in the price of the TVs may slow down its growth.

Mi Power Bank 2i (1o,000mAh Black)

The black Mi Power Bank 2i with a battery capacity of 10,000mAh gets a INR 100 price increase and will now be sold for INR 899 (~$12.40). The limited edition Red variant is currently sold at the above price.
