Nokia 3.1 Plus Officially Launched in China featuring Helio P22, 6-inch HD+ screen

By
Joel Joseph
-

Nokia’s latest entry-level offering, the Nokia 3.1 Plus is finally official in China. The phone was launched in India back in October and nearly after a month of its release, the phone finally reaches its neighbor. Specs remain unchanged on the new model, so what we are basically interested in is its price tag.

The Nokia 3.1 Plus is priced at 1099 Yuan ($158.6) which is quite close to the Indian pricing for the 3 + 32GB variant. The company is clearly looking for entry-level buyers with this positioning. The hardware inside the phone is pretty decent for its pricing. The phone features the octa-core Helio P22 chipset with MG PowerVR GE8320 GPU and a large 3500mAh battery. With the 6-inch HD+ display on board, you can easily expect more than a day’s usage on the device on a single charge.

The new Nokia model isn’t bad in the camera department as well. The phone features a 13MP f/2.0 aperture sensor at the back paired with a 5MP f/2.4 aperture sensor for good quality bokeh images. Note that users will be able to refocus their shots even after they are taken. On the front, there’s an 8MP shooter to take care of your selfie needs.

The Nokia 3.1 Plus comes in two colors, for now, White and Navy Blue.

 

 

On paper, the phone turns out to be quite well balanced. Further, you get the traditional 18:9 display design without a notch, which is a good alternative to the notch filled phones in the market lately.

It’s worth noting that for a couple of hundred Yuan (~$30) more, you get better devices like the new Honor 10 Lite with Kirin 710, Full HD+ display and 3400mAh battery. So, it’ll be interesting to see whether the phone manages to do well in the Chinese market.

Realme U1 selfie focused smartphone will be announced on Nov. 28 in India. Fresh renders of the smartphone have surfaced to showcase its front and rear design.

The freshly leaked renders of the Realme smartphone reveal that it will be sporting a waterdrop notch display like the Realme 2 Pro smartphone. The handset seems to be equipped with a glass rear. A fingerprint scanner is placed on the rear along with a vertical dual camera. The volume buttons on the left edge of the device whereas the power button can be found on the right edge.

The render leak also carries some information on the key specs. It reveals that the handset features a 6.21-inch display that produces Full HD+ resolution. The handset may arrive with a6 GB of RAM and a native storage of 128 GB. The waterdrop notch of the phone may include a 25-megapixel selfie camera. The leak does not contain any information on its dual camera configuration and battery size.

Realme has already confirmed that the Realme U1 will be the world’s first MediaTek Helio P70 powered smartphone. The Realme U1 that has a model number of RMX1833 has achieved 145,021 benchmarking scores on AnTuTu. It is expected to deliver better performance than Huawei’s Kirin 710 chipset and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 636.

The render appears like a photoshopped version of the Realme 2 Pro smartphone. Yesterday, Realme CEO Madhav Sheth was spotted holding a mysterious Gold colored Realme smartphone. The handset was equipped with a horizontal dual camera module. Since the company has never released a gold colored smartphone, it was speculated that it could be the Realme U1 Pro smartphone. Later, he had also shared a selfie that was shot using the same phone.

It is speculated that the Realme U1 will be priced between Rs. 10,000 and Rs. 15,0000. The handset will be available for buying exclusively through Amazon India.

HTC debunks rumor about it not launching a HTC U13, reveals focus is on 5G

Last week, an exclusive report published by Phandroid, said that there wouldn’t be an HTC U13 next year. Instead, the Taiwanese phone maker would release “something else”. HTC has released an official response, debunking the statement.

While HTC didn’t explicitly say when the HTC U13 will launch, they did say that emphasis will be placed on 5G network technologies. It said it will build smartphones that will work with the new communication technology and will also focus on AI, blockchain and other technologies in the future. HTC also said it is still invested in virtual reality and its applications.

HTC U12+

This year, HTC did things a bit differently and it appears it will continue to make changes to its business next year. While other manufacturers released flagships in the first quarter, HTC announced mid-range phones like the HTC U11 Eyes, the HTC Desire 12+ and Desire 12.

When it eventually announced its flagship in May, it was called the HTC U12+. Usually, HTC would launch a non-plus variant first and then follow it with the Plus variant towards the end of the year but for 2018, the Plus variant launched first and there was no non-plus model.

The Realme U1 is an upcoming smartphone from Realme. The phone will be the first device launched following the manufacturer’s recent rebranding. It has also been confirmed to be the first phone to come with MediaTek‘s new Helio P70 chipset.

Ahead of its official release on November 28, a photo comparing its AnTuTu score to that of two of its rivals – the Redmi Note 6 Pro and the Honor 8X has appeared on the web.

The Realme U1 is on the far right and appears as the RMX1833, the same model number as when it was seen on Geekbench. The Honor 8X is in the middle (JSN-AL00a) and the Redmi Note 6 Pro is on the right.

As you can see, the Helio P70-powered Realme U1 scored 145,021 points, beating the Kirin 710 by over 5,000 points and the Redmi Note 6 Pro by about 30,000 points. A breakdown of the score shows that the phone scored highest in the GPU test but comes after the Kirin 710 in CPU, UX, and memory tests.

Although the benchmark result doesn’t show some of the specs of the device, the image reveals the phone will have a waterdrop notch like the Realme 2 Pro.

Design

The phone with the most modern and futuristic design is the Honor 10 Lite. Thanks to its waterdrop notch it has the less visible bezels, it sports a very elegant glass back and you can even get it in two different gradient color variants. I like Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite but not as much as Honor 10 Lite because of its bigger notch. Huawei Mate 20 Lite’s notch is even bigger and its backside is sober but nothing special in terms of look.

 

Display

Whatever you choose, you will get more or less the same quality for the display. All of these handsets feature a classic IPS panel with a Full HD+ resolution, a sufficient color reproduction, and an average brightness. Huawei Mate 20 Lite is slightly better than its opponents thanks to its additional LTPS technology which usually makes brightness or viewing angles better.

 

Specs & Software

Talking about performance, Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite is the most convincing one because it has a slightly better SoC: the octa-core Snapdragon 660 chipset by Qualcomm. The difference between this chipset and the Kirin 710 is more evident when it comes to graphics performance, so especially gaming, because of the more powerful GPU of the Snapdragon 660. But note that Honor 10 Lite is the only one to come with Android Pie out of the box, while its opponents are still based on Oreo.

 

Camera

Huawei Mate 20 Lite offers more impressive camera performances with its wide angle main camera which is also equipped with a depth sensor doing its job well. It captures an astonishing level of detail when light conditions are good, and it even has a dual front camera with a wide angle lens and a depth sensor. So, even when it comes to selfies, Huawei Mate 20 Lite is able to click better shots.

 

Battery

At last, Huawei Mate 20 Lite is better even on the battery side. It can last more on a single charge thanks to its bigger 3750 mAh unit. Honor 10 Lite is the most disappointing one as its battery has just 3000 mAh of capacity and it does not even feature a fast charging technology.

 

Price

Thanks to its better camera and battery, Huawei Mate 20 Lite is the superior device in this trio, but it also costs more. At the moment you have to spend more or less €300/$341 to get it, while Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite (second place for it) costs less than €240/$273 globally and Honor 10 Lite costs €175/$199 in China (it is still not in the global market).

Huami CEO reveals a “Revolutionary” Smart Wearable coming in 2019

By

-

Back in February 2018, Huami filed its IPO at the New York Stock Exchange, ushering a new era in its existence. The company CEO, Huang Wang, was present at the TechCrunch Shenzhen summit a couple of days back where he shared some key details about the company and its operations.

While taking at the event, Mr. Wang revealed that Huami will launch a “Revolutionary” wearable smart device in 2019. Unfortunately, he didn’t divulge any more information about the upcoming gadget. But judging from his comments at the event, where he stated that “smartwatches will replace smartphones in the future”, we could be looking at something really exciting from the company. If you remember, back at IFA, Nubia showed off its Nubia Alpha concept wearable, which was essentially a smartphone on the wrist. Huami could be aiming to release a similar smart device next year, but as of now, this is just a speculation.

Huami’s latest smartwatch, Amazfit Verge

Talking about the recently released Huangshan -1 chip for wearables, Mr. Wang added that it can screen the HR patterns of users via cloud-based AI. This helps to monitor the user’s heart rate carefully and check for any unusual patterns. Moreover, it looks like Huami is aiming to get the Huangshan – 1 chip on other wearable manufacturers in the market as well. So, it won’t be just limited to the company’s own smartwatches.

 

 

He also gave out some essential sales figures about the company’s recent devices. Until 2017, Huami’s total sales surpassed 18.1 million and user base was well above 56.1 million. Further, the recently released Mi Band 3 has managed to sell more than 10K units in the past five months alone. Even the Mi Band 2, which enjoyed a long stay in the market (Mi Band 3 had a pretty late release), sold more than 30 million units worldwide. Note that these figures are before the 11/11 singles day, where both these devices could have garnered a lot more sales.

Mr. Wang also added that just like Xiaomi, Huami too does not want to be tagged as a hardware company. He said that people consider Huami to be a hardware firm, however, the company positions itself as a sports and health big data firm. If you recall, time and again Xiaomi has positioned itself as an internet company, and not a hardware company. Further talking about Huami’s relationship with Xiaomi, he adds that both the companies work very closely and have interconnected ecosystems.

 

 

Finally, he revealed that the company’s overseas operations have been quite strong and Europe is now its second biggest market after China.
