In the meantime, let’s compare the newly-announced Huawei Mate 20 X with the other most powerful and expensive gaming phones out there: Razer Phone 2 and Asus ROG Phone. Three devices with amazing performance and high-quality displays for the most demanding activities.

Design

These are three devices with very different aesthetics, two of which have atypical gaming-centric designs. The one which is mostly similar to a typical smartphone is Huawei Mate 20 X, but it is also the biggest one and it is more like a tablet. Asus ROG Phone instead has a very aggressive design. I would pick the one in the middle: Razer Phone 2, not only for its more elegant looks but also because it is water resistant.

 

Display

When it comes to the view quality, the best display is the one of Razer Phone 2. It has a 5.72-inch 16:9 panel with Sharp’s IGZO technology. The panel has a refresh rate of 120 Hz, the highest ever seen on a phone, as well as a high Quad HD resolution. And it also features a very high brightness. On the other hand, Asus ROG Phone features the HDR technology and DCI-P3 coverage which provides better colors, but it has a lower detail as well as a lower refresh rate. Huawei Mate 20 X has the less impressive quality but it has a bigger display (7.2 inches) and it supports the M Pen with 4096 pressure levels.

 

Specs & Software

The most powerful hardware side actually in the market belongs to Asus ROG Phone, which boasts the best processor in the market (Qualcomm Snapdragon 845) overclocked at a frequency of 2.96 GHz). It also comes with whopping 8 GB of RAM and up to 512 GB of internal storage. However, note that we still did not test the performance of the new Kirin 980 as Huawei Mate 20 X is still not in the market: it may result even better than Asus ROG Phone.

 

Camera

Huawei Mate 20 X has the best camera side as it features the same triple camera setup as the Huawei P20 Pro. It includes a main sensor with a huge 40 MP resolution, a secondary 20 MP ultrawide sensor and an 8 MP telephoto lens with 5x optical zoom. It has no rivals in the gaming smartphones sector.

 

Battery

Huawei Mate 20 X wins even the battery challenge because it features a bigger 5000 mAh unit, that it was possible to integrate due to its bigger dimensions. You will need a bit more to charge it, but you can get more gaming hours on a single charge. Note that Asus ROG Phone has an additional USB-C port to connect important accessories to enhance the gaming experience, such as a joypad, an external cooler and more.

 

Price

Huawei Mate 20 X will be soon available with a price tag of €900/$1037, Asus ROG Phone starts from €900 as well, while Razer Phone 2 starts from €850/$980. If you are specifically looking for a gaming device, then Asus ROG Phone is the choice that has most sense, but if you also need a smartphone for other advanced activities such as productivity or photography, Huawei Mate 20 X is the best choice.

Last Windows Phone, the Wileyfox Pro, is on sale again

Microsoft pulled the plug on the Windows Phone operating system last year and it came as a shock to a lot of people. After the announcement, British manufacturer, Wileyfox, still went ahead to release a Windows phone – the Wileyfox Pro. The phone which is informally referred to as the last Windows phone went on sale for a few months before it stopped selling. Now it is back on sale again and for less too.

The Wileyfox Pro originally launched for £189.99 which was quite high for the specs it packed. However, you can purchase it for £89.99 now on Amazon UK. For that amount, you are getting a 5-inch HD screen with Gorilla Glass 3, a Snapdragon 210 processor, 2GB RAM and 16GB of expandable storage. The Wileyfox Pro also has an 8MP rear camera, a 2MP front-facing camera, and a 2,100mAh removable battery.

Wileyfox Pro Amazon

There are scores of Android phones that have better specs that you can buy for the price of the Wileyfox Pro but remember, you are not buying it for the specs but for the OS.

Xiaomi Mi A1 will get Android 9.0 Pie soon; model spotted on GeekBench

Xiaomi wasn’t very quick in rolling out Android Oreo update for the stock Android-running Mi A1. That may not the case with the latest Android version as a Mi A1 model running Android 9.0 Pie has been spotted on GeekBench database. Xiaomi mi a1

At this moment, the Mi Mix 2s is the only Xiaomi model that has got Android 9.0 Pie update but that is with Xiaomi’s custom MIUI 10. The latest Mi A2 which was launched only recently still runs on Android 8.0 Oreo. The benchmark score of the model is slightly higher than the running score of most of the models that have passed through GeekBench. It has a single core test score of 932 points and on the multicore test, it scores 4470 points. The new OS version could have played some roll in this. The model on GeekBench has 4GB of RAM but is still powered by a Snapdragon 625 chipset.

Android 9.0 Pie brings a number of features like full-screen gestures, new UI tweaked for full view display and much more. It also enables an optimized system with Adaptive battery feature which learns to save some power by learning from the user’s usage patterns. The camera will also get some optimization under Android Pie. Xiaomi is yet to release any official information about an impending update. It is likely to be a couple of months from now before a stable Android Pie ROM for the Mi A1 will roll out.

Geekbench listing reveals Nokia 8.1 specs: Snapdragon 710, Android Pie

The Nokia 8 launched last year as the first Nokia flagship phone following the takeover of the brand by HMD Global Oy. The device got lukewarm reviews with complaints about some missing features such as an AMOLED display and a higher IP rating etc. It got a refresh at the beginning of the year called the Nokia 8 Sirocco with the same processor but a new design, better display, and a bigger battery. A successor has appeared on Geekbench as the Nokia 8.1 and it appears it won’t be a flagship.

The Nokia 8.1 was benchmarked yesterday and the site reveals some of its key details. If you were expecting the Snapdragon 845, you may have to wait for the Nokia 9 or maybe a Nokia 8.1 Plus if there is anything like that as the Nokia 8.1 is powered by the Snapdragon 710 chipset. The upper mid-range chipset is paired with 4GB of RAM.

HMD Global Nokia 8.1 geekbench

Geekbench also reveals the phone will run Android 9.0 out of the box. That should placate those who are disappointed about the less powerful chipset. The Nokia 8.1  scored 1841 points in the single-core test and 5807 points in the multi-core test.

TENAA listing reveals new color variant for the Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite with 8GB RAM

The Mi 8 Lite launched last month alongside the Mi 8 Pro in three color variants and 2 RAM variants (4GB and 6GB). A new TENAA listing has revealed we may be getting a new color variant and an 8GB RAM model soon.

The new variant’s model number is M1808D2TT, similar to the original whose model number is M1808D2TE. It has the same specs, so you get a 6.26-inch FHD+ LCD display, a Snapdragon 660 processor, dual rear cameras, a 24MP selfie camera, and 3250mAh (3350mAh) battery capacity.

However, the images for this listing are of a black variant of the phone with a pink/ twilight orange frame and accents around the dual rear cameras and the fingerprint sensor.

[envira-gallery id=”218071″]

We have no idea when this new color variant will be announced. However, we’ll advise not to get your hopes high. The images from the first TENAA listing of the device are of a white variant but Xiaomi didn’t unveil that color at the launch. According to both TENAA listings, the Mi 8 Lite should be available in at least 8 different colors including red, silver, rose gold, green, red, and pink.

Huawei announces 1TB backup storage drive for the Mate 20

Huawei‘s new Mate 20 series comes in multiple storage variants with support for storage expansion via the new NM card expansion slot. However, it is possible to lose all your files if your phone gets stolen or develops a fault that requires it to be wiped clean. To keep your files safe, Huawei has announced a portable storage drive for backing up your files.

Huawei Backup Storage Drive

The Huawei backup storage drive has a 1TB capacity and also doubles as a charger. It is shaped like a wireless charger and its top is covered in waterproof fabric. It has a silicone base to prevent it from sliding off the surface and the shell is made of plastic.

Huawei says it doesn’t require a special app to work. All you need to do is plug in your Mate 20 phone and it backs up your documents, photos, and videos automatically. You can also select the files you want it to back up. Huawei also claims the process is very fast, backing up to 10 hi-resolution photos in a second.

The Huawei backup storage drive has a USB-C port and works with 5V/2A chargers as well as Huawei’s 9V2A and 5V4.5A chargers. Sadly, it doesn’t support the new 40W SuperCharge technology.

The flagship device was among the host of models that the Chinese company put on exhibition at the event. The company even let visitors handle the unannounced model to see how the camera works. There is even a video showing the camera in use.elephone u2 pro

The Elephone U2 Pro design is such that both the front and rear cameras are housed on the same pop-up housing. Thus, it is no surprise that the cameras pop up when the camera app is opened. The design of the U2 Pro looks even more beautiful in real life than on the render. It comes with a double curved edge design which gives a bezel-less appearance.

Among the details unveiled is a 6.42-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with ultra-thin bezels and dual curved screen. The device comes with a screen-to-body ratio of 928%. On the camera end, a 16MP dual front camera calls the shot. While at the back there is a 12MP+5MP dual rear camera setup. The U2 Pro also comes with an underscreen fingerprint sensor as well as Face ID unlock technology, NFC, wireless charging and USB-C port. The device will get its juice from a 3600mAh battery. Elephone is yet to reveal the chipset that would be onboard but it is likely a MediaTek Helio P60 or Snapdragon 845 chipset.Elephone U2

Apart from the U2 Pro, Elephone also showcased the Elephone U2 and Elephone PX. All three models are expected to launch any moment from now. The Elephone U2 will feature a 6.26-inch FHD+ AMOLED screen with an equally high screen to body ratio. The stand out feature on the model is no doubt the triple rear camera setup at the rear. Although the device features a pop-up camera design, the pop-up housing only has the front camera. The rear cameras at aligned vertically at the top left corner of the back. The front camera is a dual 16MP+2MP combo while at the rear, there is a 12MP+5MP+2MP combo. The device will be powered by an Helio P60 chipset and has a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor on its glass back. As a result of the glass back, there may also be wireless charging support.Elephone PX

The front camera uses the popup design as well. There is also a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor onboard.Elephone u2 proElephone u2 Pro

Honor Watch to launch on October 31, possibly a cheaper variant of the Huawei Watch GT

Honor will unveil the Magic 2 phone on October 31 but just like its parent company, Huawei did during the launch of the Mate 20 series, it will also announce a smartwatch. A poster for the Honor Watch has surfaced confirming the watch will launch alongside the Magic 2.

 

Honor Watch launch poster

The poster (pictured above) shows the silhouette of the Honor Watch. We can see it has a circular dial and two hardware buttons. The design is similar to that of the Huawei Watch GT but the dial and the straps should have a different design. We also expect the Honor Watch to have the same internals as the Huawei Watch GT but with lesser features which should translate to a cheaper price tag.

The Huawei Watch GT comes in two variants – a Classic and a Sports version. Both run a custom OS and not Wear OS. They are also powered by a Cortex-M4 chipset and not Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 2100 or the newer Snapdragon 3100 chipset.

OnePlus 6T ‘Ultimate Limited Editon’ listed on Swedish retailer, limited to 100 units

Recently, OnePlus changed the launch event date from October 30 to October 29 due to date collision with Apple’s event. There are a lot of leaks and reports that are surfacing just before the launch of OnePlus 6T. Today, a Swedish retailer, Webhallen has listed the OnePlus 6T ‘Ultimate Limited Edition’ on the website with a stock of up to 100 units. The listing is giving us a first look at the new packaging box of OnePlus 6T. The package also includes a tagline of “OnePlus 6T as well as a host of secret things.”

oneplus 6t ultimate limited edition

The OnePlus 6T ‘Ultimate Limited Edtion’ box at first gives a promising official look but upon retailer’s denial of any explanation makes it feel like a fake product listing. We are not denying any possibility of OnePlus 6T Ultimate Edition as OnePlus has launched limited edition devices earlier also. In the past, OnePlus 5T received a Star Wars edition while OnePlus 6 had an Avengers limited edition. So, the overall possibility of the special edition OnePlus 6T can’t be denied.

OnePlus 6T special variant is expected to host high-end specs of 8GB RAM with 256 GB storage along with some OnePlus accessories like cases, screen protectors, etc. Additionally, OnePlus 6T will carry Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 with a waterdrop display having an on-screen fingeprint sensors. It will be OnePlus’s first device to launch without a headphone Jack. OnePlus 6T is expected to come with the Android 9.0 Pie.

 

 

The phone is launching in the UK on O2, Vodafone and via other offline retailers. While users in the US can get it via T-Mobile.

Well, what do you think? Is it a legitimate leak or the retailer is posting a fake product to get some attention?

OnePlus offering a free OnePlus 6T under “Unlock your Speed” challenge

OnePlus has always presented users with some engaging offers and competitions. In a similar way, just before the launch of OnePlus 6T, the Chinese smartphone maker has introduced a new “Unlock your Speed” challenge. According to challenge, a user has to tap on their mobile devices screens and the more you tap more will be the chances to win OnePlus 6T. There are few conditions also, that come in handy with the challenge.

In order to participate in the challenge, users have to sign up on unlock.oneplus.com and follow the on-screen instructions. Upon successful signup, users have to tap the mobile screen as many times as possible. OnePlus will pick up a winner in every 24 hours and they will get a OnePlus 6T for free when it launches. In a blog post, OnePlus states, “To celebrate the fantastic new Screen Unlock we want everyone to practice tapping on their screens. The more taps, the more prizes and information we reveal about the OnePlus 6T!”

The challenge brings two types of goals, personal and global. When a personal goal is reached a user is awarded a prize but when a global goal is reached, a new information about the OnePlus 6T is revealed.  There’s also a Leaderboard, showing collective taps of players having highest taps.

Recently, OnePlus has changed the launch date of OnePlus 6T from October 30th to October 29th. The change has taken place to avoid colliding with Apple’s event on the same day.

Additionally, OnePlus 6T is coming with a new waterdrop display featuring an on-screen fingerprint scanner. There will be major changes in the User Interface of the device under new OxygenOS. OnePlus has also improved its camera for low light and now will take better pictures in the night than OnePlus 6. It will come powered with Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 coupled with 6/8GB of RAM.

Ultimately, we have to wait for a few days more for OnePlus 6T.

OnePlus brings forward OnePlus 6T launch to October 29 because of Apple

Everyone has been looking forward to the launch of the OnePlus 6T for weeks now. The launch date was eventually announced a few weeks ago and scheduled for October 30. However, a new development has caused the Chinese manufacturer to change the launch date. That new development is Apple!

A few days ago, Apple announced it would have an event on October 30, the same day as the launch of the OnePlus 6T, where it is expected to launch the new iPad Pro. The launch will also hold in the same state (New York) and begin an hour after the OnePlus 6T commences. Apple’s announcement changed everything for OnePlus. Both events holding the same day and in the same state and with a timing so close to each other would mean one product would get overshadowed by the other.

New OnePlus 6T launch date

In an official forum post, OnePlus CEO, Pete Lau says they had to talk to their press contacts who said sticking to the date would cause their product to be overshadowed by Apple’s launch. They also had to talk to members of the OnePlus community to get their opinion on the matter. After hours of debate, OnePlus had to “succumb” and announce a new date for the launch:

The OnePlus 6T will now launch on October 29 in New York!

Yes, the decision OnePlus made was to bring the date forward by one day. The venue will be the same and the time will remain 11 AM EDT.

Currently, Lenovo is producing 100,000 mobile units in a month, but company is planning to increase it to 1 million units per month. Speaking to PTI, Lenovo group president, Edward Chang opened up about the Lenovo’s future plans in India and said, “We make mobile phones in India at our partner’s factory.

The increase in volume does not include Motorola devices, a Lenovo owned brand. Recently, Lenovo has partnered with Flipkart to sell its devices, estimating the sale of 6 to 7 million units in India.

“We have partnered exclusively with Flipkart because the share of online and offline market will be equal in India by 2020. This means it is 60-70 million units business opportunity every year,” Chang said.

Yesterday, Lenovo has launched three new mid-level devices at an event. Among the newly launched devices, Lenovo K9 is made available for Rs 8999 and Lenovo A5 in two models for Rs 5999 and Rs 6999.

Samsung dedicated gaming smartphone reportedly in works

As mobile gaming has started to pick up the pace, mobile manufacturers are jumping into the gaming market to cash in on the hype. As like of Asus, Razer Phone and Xiaomi Black Shark, now Samsung is also working to build a dedicated gaming smartphone. Reportedly, Samsung has started developing a gaming smartphone which will give a tough competition to already present players in the market.

According to an insider, Samsung would make the device as par with the industry standards. Further, no more details have been revealed about the Samsung Gaming smartphone. We suspect that the recently leaked Galaxy A phone is the same device that source has been talking about. If it is true, then, we can expect Samsung gaming smartphone to carry 8GB RAM coupled with Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chipset. There will be multiple internal storage options such as 64GB, 128GB, and 256 GB.

Samsung will not follow up the glittering LED lights on the smartphone’s back, rather they will stick to more generic design as like of Galaxy A7 and Galaxy A9. Also, we can expect a tall infinity display edge-to-edge with a glass and aluminum body alongside.

As like most of the gaming devices, it will also pack its own cooling system. Samsung has already added their own Water Carbon cooling system in Galaxy Note 9.

Samsung is slated to officially announce the device by the end of November. Currently, no more details about the device are known. In upcoming days, we expect some more reports about the device to surface. Until then, stay connected with us!

Huawei Mate 20 Pro face unlock in the spotlight: gets fooled by two guys with beards and short hair

Huawei decided to tow the line of  Apple by including a 3D Face Unlock technology on its latest flagship Mate 20 Pro. The device can be unlocked using an in-display fingerprint sensor and the 3D face recognition technology.  Tech blog Android Pit has reported a recent discovery that the Huawei Mate 20 Pro3D face recognition can be unlocked by a person with some resemblance to the original owner of the phone. Huawei Mate 20 Pro Indian launch teaser

According to the report, the review copy that was received was being passed around in the office, apparently for everyone to catch a glimpse. But interestingly, a second person who with a slight resemblance to the original user was able to unlock the phone using the Face unlock feature. Repeated tests showed that the feature isn’t very secure. A second Huawei Mate 20 Pro unit was used for the test and the result was still the same thing. Although Huawei had issued a disclaimer about the insecure nature of the 3D Face Unlock, we don’t expect it to open so easily despite both persons having similar looks. Even in this case, there are some key features separating both persons although they are both full-bearded and have short hair.  First, the two men have different skin colours, different contours, eye colour. Also, one of the men uses glasses while the other one doesn’t.

It must be noted that both copies of the Huawei Mate 20 Pro use the same software version, with build number 9.0.0.113 (C432E10R1P16). In that case, the easiest explanation that can be adduced is that it could be a software glitch and should be something an update should fix. Since both units are earlier models, the same problem may not be on the commercial units.
