Samsung to launch Galaxy F foldable smartphone without Gorilla Glass

Here comes new information about the Samsung’s much-rumored Galaxy F foldable smartphone. As per the recent report, Samsung will not secure the Galaxy F foldable display with the Corning Gorilla Glass due to technological limitations. Due to some unknown reasons, Corning lost out on a chance to be a part of the Samsung’s first flexible smartphone. Instead, Samsung will use a special cover glass from Sumitomo Chemical of Japan to protect its display.

Samsung Foldable Phone

According to our folks at Sammmobile, Galaxy F can’t use the Gorilla glass “due to the former’s rigid nature.” Samsung is using transparent polyimide which posses durability properties making it suitable for the Galaxy F flexible form factor. Sammobile detailed that, “the strong glass wouldn’t allow the device to fold into half. Samsung will thus use a transparent polyimide supplied by Sumitomo Chemical of Japan. It would be less durable than Gorilla Glass but would allow the Galaxy F to retain its flexible form factor.”

Currently, it’s unknown why Samsung denied the Corning Gorilla Glass and is using the material from Sumitomo. Well, whatever has happened will be for the betterment of the device and as per the needs of the Samsung. As per the source, Samsung Galaxy F might release until next year, snubbing the rumors which slated it for the November launch.

Rumors are here from past various years revealing the specs, design and other aspects of the device. But, it seems that Samsung is in no hurry to launch the Foldable device as the foldable trend is still a couple of years away from now. Let’s wait and watch as it may take another six months to get the actual look of the Galaxy F foldable device.

The Google Pixel 3 is now listed on the JD.com, a retailer site from China. The handset has appeared with a price tag of 4,999 Yuan (~$729). It is not the actual pricing of the Pixel 3 as the handset is yet to go official. The listing also contains some renders of the smartphone.

The renders showcase the design of both Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL smartphones. However, these photos are just modified version of the renders that were created by popular tipster @OnLeaks. It is not surprising to see an unannounced phone on a retailer site. However, what’s interesting about the Pixel 3 listing on JD is that Google has never released its Pixel phones in China. Since Google is blocked in China, neither the Nexus phones nor the Pixel series were made available in the country. The JD listing of Pixel 3 suggests that the search engine could be planning to enter China again. However, there is no official confirmation on it yet.

Google Pixel 3 JD Listing

The Google Pixel 3 JD listing had carried the pricing of the smartphone. However, the listing has been updated as it only contains the renders of the phone at present. Rumors surrounding the Pixel 3 have revealed that the handset will be arriving with a 5.4-inch display that will support Full HD+ resolution and 18:9. The Snapdragon 845 SoC is expected to power the phone along with 4 GB of RAM. It is expected to come loaded with Android 9 Pie.

The back panel of the Google Pixel 3 is rumored to feature a single camera of 12-megapixel. The front panel of the phone is tipped to be equipped with 8-megapixel dual selfie snappers. The exact size of the battery of the Pixel 3 is not known yet. The handset is rumored to hit the market in 64 GB and 128 GB storage models.

Google has recently confirmed that it will be holding a launch event on Oct. 9 in New York City to announce the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL smartphones. It is speculated that the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL phones may respectively cost $649 and $749.

Amazfit Verge Hands on pictures: A complete premium smartwatch is born!

By

Huami officially unveiled its latest smartwatch dubbed Amazfit Verge a couple of days back. Make no mistake, the Verge isn’t the Amazfit Watch 3 neither is it a successor of the Amazfit Stratos sports watch. The wearable device is on a pedestal of its own. That is well reflected in the design which the Verge adopts. The 799 yuan (~$116) price tag it features is equally lower than the 999 yuan (~$146) Amazfit Stratos’. We bring you a couple of hands-on pictures of the Amazfit Verge so you get a closer look at the device from all angles.Amazfit Verge smartwatch

The Verge packs a 1.3-inch circular display with a diameter of 43mm. This is similar in size with the higher variant of Samsung’s latest Galaxy Watch. Well, except that the Amazfit Verge is made from reinforced plastic, giving it a sporty outlook rather than the looks of a traditional watch which Samsung’s models adapt. The Verge also doesn’t feature a rotating bezel but it is equipped with an AMOLED display with a resolution of 360x360pixels as well as Gorilla Glass 3 on top. Huami says there is a coating on top of the screen which prevents fingerprint smudges from accumulating on the screen during use. The smartwatch is equipped with a silicone strap that can be removed in the same manner as those of the Amazfit Pace and Stratos. More importantly, it is lightweight, weighing just 46 grams. The build is IP68 certified but you still can’t take the watch swimming or when going under the shower.Amazfit Verge

Some persons may not find the design too appealing, especially when compared to the Amazfit Stratos but bear in mind this isn’t a sports-focused smartwatch. So, the rugged looks of the Stratos give way for a more refined, sleek and elegant mien. That doesn’t mean the Verge hasn’t got you covered when you’re out jogging or on the treadmill. The device comes with support for 11 different sports mode including Golfing, Riding, Running, hiking, Gym training, Soccer and Boat riding. It also has GPS+GLONASS support. In addition, the smartwatch is equipped with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0+BLE. Sadly, there is no LTE connectivity but we believe that could come on subsequent versions. The watch is powered by a dual-core 1.2GHz processor with 512MB RAM and 4 GB ROM. Along with the usual sensors, there are additional geomagnetic, and air pressure sensors on board. Also onboard, is a 390mAh battery which Huami claims can last up to 5 days, depending on the usage.amazfit-verge-smartwatch

While the Amazfit Pace and Stratos main feature are basically sports and fitness tracking, the Verge is focused on the Internet of Things (IoT), smart home controls, voice assistant and with NFC, contactless payment. As a smart home device controller, the Amazfit Verge allows users to control their smart gadgets right from the watch interface. It comes with support for Xiaomi’s MIJIA smart home apps and can be deployed to control up to eleven smart home gadgets. Gadgets that can be controlled via the MIJIA app on the watch include Mi Robot Vacuum, Water Purifier, temperature and humidity sensor, air-conditioner, electric fan, air detector, smart light, rice cooker, smart switch/socket and Mi Air Purifier.Amazfit verge smartwatch

The Amazfit Verge also keeps track of the user’s heart rate all day long and is capable of detecting abnormal heart rhythm. When such an abnormality is detected, the user is alerted immediately. In addition, the watch comes with Xiao AI assistant which can act as a personal assistant. The AI-powered virtual assistant can remind you of important schedules like an upcoming meeting, important stuff like your car’s number plate. It could even tell a joke when you’re not feeling happy! The feature may have been fully adapted for use in China. We wait to see how fast Huami deploys these features for the global market. So too for the NFC-based cardless payment. I China the Verge can be used for bus payment on 165 cities covering over 20,000 public transport routes. It also supports AliPay and UnionPay will roll out in November. amazfit-verge-smartwatch

The Amazfit Verge also share similar user interface and perhaps user experience with the Pace and Stratos as all models are based on the same software platform and they are developed by the same team. However, the several additional features will ensure the interface of the Verge is more robust. It comes with 13 built-in watch faces with three made in collaboration with San Francisco-based Territory Studio. We expect to serve you the Amazfit Verge review sometime soon. If you are interested in the Verge, it is available outside China via e-retailers like Giztop, GearBest, Banggood etc. Meanwhile, find the hands-on pictures of the Verge from below.

The info comes as a live photo of the Realme 2 Pro and it shows the phone powered on with the “About Phone” section visible. Once again we see the waterdrop notch which houses the front camera.

The “About Phone” section confirms the phone is indeed powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 660 mobile platform but shows this particular variant has 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. There will also be a 6GB RAM variant. The Realme 2 Pro will also run Android 8.1 Oreo out of the box.

Renders of Google’s ChromeOS tablet leaks, has a fingerprint scanner

By

-

Google is expected to announce a new PixelBook at its October 9 event. Early rumors and leaks point at a detachable 2-in-1 design which means the PixelBook 2 will also double as a ChromeOS tablet just like the Microsoft Surface Book doubles as a Windows tablet. A new leak might be our first look at this new PixelBook or Google’s first ChromeOS tablet.

The leak comes from About Chromebooks, a site that covers anything related to ChromeOS. Apparently, they found in a code commit that ChromeOS tablets will gain support for keyboard docks in the near future. The commit description even mentions the keyboard bases will have a dedicated Google Assistant button and a “Hamburger” or options button. The code commit also revealed some of the brands that would make these keyboards, one of them is Brydge, a manufacturer of premium keyboards for iPads.

Yesterday, Brydge accidentally posted two unreleased keyboards on their Shopify page which are for Google devices (read ChromeOS tablets). Renders of one of the keyboards named Wallaby is attached to a tablet said to be Google’s ChromeOS tablet codenamed “Nocturne”.

Wallaby has a design similar to the Bryde keyboard in this video below which allows the keyboard and tablet to be opened and closed like it’s a laptop.

The tablet has a USB-C port on the left but Nocturne is expected to come with two USB-C ports. It also has dual front-facing speakers which are located on the right/bottom and left/top bezels.

[envira-gallery id=”213046″]

Another render showing the keyboard and tablet from the top shows the tablet has a small indentation on the left. That indentation is rumored to be a fingerprint scanner. Nocturne is said to also have a fingerprint scanner and this gif from 9to5Google shows the fingerprint scanner is in a similar position.

The keyboard itself comes in blue but we can’t say if there will be other colors at launch. There is a moderately sized trackpad and the keys do not look cramped. You can also spot the hamburger key (after the volume up button) and the Google Assistant key (between the function and alt keys).

[envira-gallery id=”213047″]

The second keyboard is named Goanna and is much wider like a desktop keyboard. It doesn’t have a trackpad but has a hamburger key and Google Assistant key like Wallaby. It comes in the same blue color.

Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite vs Meizu X8 vs Honor 8X: Specs Comparison

By

The latest upper-midrange smartphones from Xiaomi, Meizu and Huawei are something incredible if we consider the affordable price they are carrying immediately after their launch. In China, you need a bit more than €200 to get Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite, Meizu X8, and Huawei Honor 8X. And given that their specs are very close to high-end and flagship devices, these handsets represent some of the best deals you can find right now in the market. In this article, we compared them in order to see which company released the best Chinese upper-midranger in this second half of 2018.

Design

Coming to the aesthetics, it is all about tastes. Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite and Huawei Honor 8X have a definitely stunning design with their reflective glass back (the first available in gradient colors and the second with impressive light waves as well as a very high screen-to-body ratio). Meizu X8 instead has a very original design even though it is less impressive in terms of colors and light reflections on the rear side. Note that Huawei Honor 8X has a way bigger size than its opponents and this may let you change idea if you decided to get it.

 

Display

Huawei Honor 8X is the one I prefer because of its very wide display with a size of 6.5 inches. As said above, it even has incredibly narrow bezels. Each of these devices has an average IPS LCD panel, so do not expect a huge viewing quality but just a midrange-level display. There is a notch on each of them, but it does not contain a 3D sensor for face authentication. But note that each of these devices supports software-based face unlock as a method of authentication, besides the rear-mounted fingerprint reader.

 

Specs & Software

Meizu X8 is the phone which convinces us the most when it comes to hardware. Indeed, it has a more powerful processor which should handle heavier operation in a better way. Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite and Huawei Honor 8X have two chipsets (Snapdragon 660 and Kirin 970) which can be considered at the same level, but I believe that the former will have better graphics performance thanks to its more powerful GPU. Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite has the MIUI installed (the best UI among these handsets in my opinion), Meizu X8 has Flyme OS and Honor 8X has EMUI: all of them are based on Oreo and provide many useful additional features.

 

Camera

On the paper, all of these devices’ cameras should offer a pretty decent photo quality. All of them are dual cameras with an additional depth sensor and similar specs (Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite and Meizu X8 have the same primary sensor). But we are going to prefer Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite due to its potentially better selfie camera and its huge 24 MP resolution. However, I believe that differences in photo quality are just marginal, so do not base your choice on cameras so much.

 

Battery

On the battery side, Huawei Honor 8X should be the champion, even though we can not be sure of it until we test the handset in every scenario. But it has a way bigger battery with a capacity of 3750 mAh, and this should be enough to ensure a longer battery life than Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite and Meizu X8 which should provide a similar result on a single charge.

Price

You just need $205/€175 to bring a Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite at home, while for Meizu X8 you need to spend $223/€190. At last, Huawei Honor 8X sits in the middle with a price tag of $211/€180. Even when it comes to the price, the difference between these handsets is marginal, with less than $20 between the most affordable and the most expensive one. In my opinion there is not a definitive winner of this comparison and each of them is more suitable for a different target: if you want a bigger display and battery, go for the Honor 8X, if you need better performance, then choose Meizu X8, while if you need good performance, great cameras and wonderful aesthetics choose Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite. I would personally pick the Honor 8X because I appreciate is big display, its narrow bezels, and its above-average battery, but it does not mean it is the best.

Nokia 7.1 Plus adopts a Notch Display, Dual Rear Cameras; leaked render hints

Nokia announced the Nokia 7 Plus in February this year and the model came out with a bang. It recently won the best “Consumer Smartphone” award from EISA in Europe alongside the Honor 10 and Huawei P20 Pro. This is as a result of its superb price to performance ratio. While the model is still selling hot, Nokia seems to be planning to up the ante by releasing the Nokia 7.1 Plus. The supposed photo of the rumoured Nokia 7.1 Plus has appeared in a couple of leaks recently but this latest leaked render appears to show a different design. The earlier ones showed the Nokia 7.1 Plus will not have a notch but in this case, the device features a notch display.nokia 7.1 plus

The renders as shared by MySmartPrice showcases both the front, rear and side design of the device. At the front, it shows the device will come with a notch display design. The design is very much similar to that of the Nokia X6 which is also called Nokia 6.1 Plus. This model may also launch in some market as Nokia X7 but with the X6 dropping in July, we don’t see the rationale behind Nokia launching a successor this year.

The rear deisgn also looks very similar to the Nokia 6.1 Plus but a few differentials can be seen. One of such is the ZEISS badge at the middle of the dual cameras. The rear also houses a fingerprint sensor but the accented ring which borders the sensor on the Nokia X6 is missing. We can’t say if the model will be released this year but in our opinion, this design is not inspiring enough. Let us know what you think of the Nokia 7.1 Plus design in the comment section.
