Lenovo’s foldable smartphone could debut in October

Leading smartphone manufacturers such as Samsung and Huawei are currently working on a foldable smartphone and it was a battle between the two of them for being the first to launch such a device. However, it seems that Lenovo could be the first company to launch a foldable smartphone.

The China-based company’s foldable smartphone, which made its first appearance as a concept at Lenovo Tech World Conference 2016, has been teased by the company. Lenovo shared a 10-second video of the foldable phone’s prototype version with a caption that reads – “We are just so terribly good. It’s time to show off. We’ll see you in October.”

The video teaser, which was posted on Lenovo’s official Weibo account, shows a working phone that has a foldable design. We can see that the device continues to recognise and allow touch input when it gets folded at around 80-degree angle. However, there are a couple of dark spots on the right edge of the display, probably due to wear and tear.

The post suggests that the company is all set to launch the foldable smartphone later this month. However, there is no further information available regarding this, apart from the Weibo post by the company.

If we are to believe reports related to Lenovo’s flexible smartphone concept from last year, then the phone will come with a 4.35-inch AMOLED display that can automatically change the smartphone mode or watch mode based on the usage. The phone also reportedly supports eSIM card, enabling free and easy switch to different network.

It’s not clear if the company is actually planning to launch the device later this month or just showcase it. Also, Lenovo hasn’t officially confirmed an event for October 2018 through any of its other social media channels.

Xiaomi‘s ecological chain company Runmi technologies best known by its brand name 90 Points first zoomed into the scene in September 2015 when it launched its first suitcase. Three years down the lane, 90 Points suitcases have been one of the top-selling Xiaomi products in and outside China with several categories of suitcases to its name. The company has been innovative in its drive to manufacture suitcases that meets the need of travellers. We recall the 90 Points self-balancing suitcase that was showcased at CES 2018. The company recently launched a suitcase with fingerprint unlock.

To celebrate its third anniversary, 90 Points has unveiled a transparent suitcase priced at 599 yuan ($87). The suitcase has a size of 20 inches and weighs only 2.7kg. The box is crafted using 100% German pure Bayer transparent PC particles processed in a dust-free and dye-free environment. This ensures the suitcase is highly permeable, tough and has high tensile strength. The drawbar is made of 100% aviation 6 series aluminum alloy and has four adjustment levels. Underneath the suitcase is four silent wheels with high-precision double bearing, 360-degree flexible sliding, excellent resilience, shock absorption and noise reduction.90 Points transparent suitcase

The Segway-inspired Ninebot self-balancing scooter is one of its most popular products due to its affordability and sleek design. The Chinese tech giant made the device become more useful when it launched a GoKart kit to convert the scooter to a racing Gokart. The kit was only up for pre-order via JD.com when it was announced last month. The Ninebot Gokart kit has now been launched for sale on Xiaomi Youpin with a starting price of 2999 yuan ($436).Ninebot Gokart kit

The 2999 yuan price tag is for the kit alone and will be useful to those who already own a Ninebot and would want to expand its functions. The price is pretty impressive, considering that the kit is on sale outside China for a price that will burn a hole in your pocket.  For those who would like to buy the Gokart kit along with the scooter, there are two options available. There is the option of buying the kit with the first-gen Ninebot self-balancing car for 4996 yuan ($727) and another option of buying it with the latest Ninebot miniPro for 6698 yuan ($976).Ninebot Gokart kit

The Ninebot Go-kart kit is propelled by the Ninebot scooter as it doesn’t have a propelling power of its own. It has all the features of a typical racing kart with a formula 1 racing car steering wheel but with a ratio of 2.1:1. The kart has a maximum speed limit of 24Km/h. However, there are three modes for users to select from based on expertise. There is a  novice mode (8km/h), normal mode (18km/h), and sport mode (24km/h).

Xiaomi launches the water-resistant TwentySeventeen Light Mechanical Wristwatch

Xiaomi has launched a new product under the Youpin platform. The product is named TwentySeventeen Light Mechanical wristwatch and is presently available to buy in China via Xiaomi Youpin. The device comes with a rather steep price tag of 499 yuan (~$72) but the features seem to justify the price.TwentySeventeen light Mechanical Wristwatch

The product isn’t exactly manufactured by Xiaomi but is manufactured by Shenzhen Micro-intelligence Co. Ltd with the best of quality standards. The wristwatch is a wholly mechanical watch which is quite interesting. The watch is crafted to last for eternity since there is no battery that’ll get drained. The watch uses kinetic energy which it gets when it is worn continually. In that case, the watch doesn’t need to be rewound. But it is left for long without use, the watch needs to be wound manually to provide initial kinetic energy.TwentySeventeen light Mechanical Wristwatch

The mechanical parts are manufactured using durable parts. The lens is made of sapphire glass which is wear and scratch-resistant. The company equally utilised a blue-coating process to prevent glare and fingerprint stains. The dial and straps are available in white and black colour options. The dial also has a built-in window for the calendar date. The crown has a gear-type design and a transparent large back cover that allows you to feel the unique rhythm of the mechanical watch when you put it on. Most of all, the watch is lightweight.TwentySeventeen light Mechanical Wristwatch

The strap is designed in such a way that it can be replaced easily. Furthermore, the Twentyseventeen Light Mechanical wristwatch supports 5ATM waterproof level meaning it can be worn in the rain or while washing your hand.

OPPO K1 seen on Geekbench powered by Snapdragon 660

A few weeks ago, a trio of OPPO phones with a gradient design and an in-display fingerprint scanner were seen on TENAA. Subsequent reports said the three phones are variants of a new phone that would launch as the OPPO K1. One of the phones has been seen on Geekbench and the benchmark site has revealed a few of its specs.

The OPPO PBCM30 was benchmarked yesterday. It runs Android 8.1 Oreo and is powered by the Snapdragon 660 processor (sdm660). It also has 6GB of RAM. Its benchmark scores are given as 1436 and 5467 for the single core and multi-core tests respectively.

Lenovo S5 Pro might be coming soon

The Lenovo S5 was announced back in March. The phone got a lot of flak as it came with less-powerful specs compared to the Redmi Note 5 it was touted to take on. Six months later, it appears we will be getting a Lenovo S5 Pro.

If you are familiar with Weibo, you should know the social media site usually reveals the name of the phone used to make a post. We discovered that the phone used by Lenovo’s VP, Chang Cheng, to post the teaser for the phone with four rear cameras launching next month is the Lenovo S5 Pro.

Lenovo S5 Pro

This is the only proof of the Lenovo S5 Pro’s existence at the moment and we totally have no idea of what it looks like or what its specs are.

The Lenovo S5 has a 5.7-inch FHD+ display, a Snapdragon 625 processor, up to 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. It also has dual 13MP rear cameras, a 16MP front-facing camera, and packs a 3,000mAh battery. We expect the S5 Pro to have a more powerful processor, a bigger battery, and maybe better cameras but not necessarily a bigger display.
