The Honor 8X which is believed to be the Honor ARE-AL00 model spotted on TENAA is equipped with a monstrous 7.12-inch display with a screen resolution of 2244 x 1080 pixels.

Huawei Nova 3 and 3i Iris Purple going on open sale next week

Both Huawei Nova 3 and Nova 3i have been officially announced back in July, but they went on sale for the first time in India less than two weeks ago. Further, the former device was only available through flash sales and many potential buyers were left with empty hands. Finally, the Nova 3 is going to be available in the first open sale. Starting from August 23, the handset will be officially available on Amazon India with exactly the same price tag as the flash sales: INR 34,999 Yuan, which roughly translates to about $501 at the actual change.

Huawei Nova 3

Besides the Huawei Nova 3, its more affordable version Nova 3i (also known as Huawei P Smart Plus in the European market) will be made available in the Iris Purple gradient color variant (it goes from blue to violet) starting from August 21 on Amazon India. The price tag of this version will be INR 20,990, which translates into $300. Until now, the Nova 3i has obtained a very warm response from the public with very high sales in the Indian peninsula, but it was only available in the less original Black color variant.

 

 

Just to remind you, Huawei Nova 3 is a high-end handset with the octa-core Kirin 970 chipset under the hood, paired with 6 GB of RAM and 64 or 128 GB of internal storage depending on the chosen configuration. It packs a 6.3-inch display with very narrow bezels and a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2340 pixels, as well as four cameras, two on the back with 16 and 24 MP resolutions (f/1.8 aperture) and two on the front with 24 and 2 MP resolutions (f/2.0). The Nova 3i is its midrange variant and it packs an octa-core Kirin 710 chipset which is the natural successor of the Kirin 659. It offers the same display but a lower-end rear camera with 16 and 2 MP resolutions (f/2.2) as well as a smaller battery (3750 vs 3340 mAh).

Two new colours for the Huawei P20 Pro dropping at IFA 2018

Apparently buoyed by the success of the flagship P20 Pro, Huawei is set to introduce two more new colour variants of the model at IFA Berlin 2018. The Huawei p20 Pro came with a number of innovative features including being the first model to pack a triple camera setup. The device also a gradient color palette which has been reproduced by several other OEMs. The twilight colour which highlights how gradient can make smartphones cool and interesting again. Huawei P20

The two new colours which would still follow the gradient pattern of the existing models will be announced by the CEO of consumer Business at Huawei, Richard Yu. They will be unveiled during the keynote address by the CEO at IFA which is just two weeks away. The photos of the two new color options have reportedly sighted by Android Authority but there is no proof to verify that claim. The blog claims the source pleaded for a non-disclosure term in order to protect his identity.

In essence, all that we know is that two new gradient-based colour options will be coming to the Huawei P20 Pro and how it will look theoretically. According to Android Authority, the first color is inspired by the night sky and the aurora borealis. It is said to utilise a wider color gamut than the twilight P20 Pro gradient but shares some of the same colors. The gradient starts with black on the left side and it transitions towards turquoise at the right of the phone. The colour mix also includes the purple and blue hues found on the twilight P20 Pro. On the other hand, the second color is said to take inspiration from the sea, and all the flora found underneath the sea including sea shells and pearls. The colour is described as mostly white with subtle hints of yellow and pink. It’s reportedly very similar to the Rose Gold regular P20, which features a gradient from white to pink, but in a subtle way. The new colours are said to be outstanding but we’ll have to wait until they are officially unveiled to have a look.

Motorola XT1941-2 seen on TENAA sporting a 5.8” Notched-Display

A new Motorola smartphone has been seen on TENAA. Its model number is XT1941-2 and although it shares a similar design to the Motorola XT1943-1 which eventually launched as the Motorola P30, its specs are a lot more different.

The Motorola XT1941-2 has a 5.86” 720 x 1520 display. That resolution means it has a notch and an aspect ratio of 19:9. It is powered by an octa-core processor clocked at 2.2GHz.

The phone is listed as having multiple RAM and storage variants. So depending on the model you purchase when it launches, you get 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage, 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage, or 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage.

[envira-gallery id=”206824″]

The Motorola XT1941-2 outdoes its other sibling in the camera department. Not only does it have dual rear cameras, it also has dual front-facing cameras. Unfortunately, TENAA has only revealed the configuration of one of the rear cameras which is a 13MP sensor.

The phone has a fingerprint scanner underneath the Motorola batwing logo. It also has support for storage expansion (128GB max.) There is Android 8.1 Oreo on board and a 3,000mAh battery under its body.

The device weighs 162g and measures 149.9 × 72.2 × 7.9 mm.
When it launches, the Motorola XT1941-2 will be available in black, gold, and silver. We believe the Motorola XT1941-2 will launch as the Moto P30 Play and will compete with devices like the Redmi 6 Pro and the Nokia X5.

Huawei Mate 20 Lite packing a Kirin 710 chipset benchmarked on GeekBench

Huawei last year unveiled the Mate 10 Lite shortly after the Mate 10 and Mate 10 Pro. That trend is set to continue with the Mate 20 as the Chinese company has got the device in the works. The Mate 10 Lite was reportedly certified in China recently gifting us some of its specs.Huawei Mate 20 Lite Gold

The GeenBench version comes with the model number Huawei SNE-LX1. The Mate 20 Lite is expected to be powered by a Kirin 710 chipset and even though this wasn`t categorically listed, it can be seen in the single-threaded performance of the Mate 20 Lite. When compared with the Nova 3i which packs the same chipset, the single core test score is similar. Although the multi-threaded score is slightly different, one reason proffered for this is the pre-release status of the software.Huawei Mate 20 Lite GeekBench

Further, the Mate 20 Lite also appeared on TENAA with a Kirin 710 chip onboard. However, the TENAA model is equipped with 6GB of RAM while the GeekBench version packs 4GB of RAM onboard. That is probably an indication that the Mate 20 Lite will be available in multiple versions.

Oppo R17 Pro’s triple cameras revealed in an official video

Oppo R17 was revealed alone this year, but OPPO R17 Pro is also coming soon. Today, the Chinese giant has published an official video teaser revealing the presence of a triple camera setup on the Pro version, just like the latest reports suggested. The video also reveals the design in a beautiful gradient hue, but this is nothing new given that it has almost the same aesthetics as the original R17.

OPPO-R17-Pro-front-and-rear

Unlike the Huawei P20 Pro, the third sensor present on the Oppo R17 Pro will not be a classic telephoto lens, neither a B/W monochromatic sensor. It will be a Time of Flight (ToF) tridimensional camera which will be used for AR, such as the Asus Zenfone AR or Ares. Further, the triple camera setup will feature a variable aperture such as Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus and Galaxy Note 9 to better adapt to every light condition.

 

 

Among the other specs, Oppo R17 Pro will pack a 6.4-inch display with a minimal notch and a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2280 pixels. Under the hood, there will be an octa-core Snapdragon 710 chipset and up to 8 GB RAM. We will get more info after the official announcement which should take place on August 23.

ZTE may announce Axon 9 at IFA 2018

ZTE has had a rough year but there is still some time left to make back some of the cash it lost no thanks to fines and months of not being able to work as a result of the US ban.

ZTE IFA 2018

On Thursday, August 16, one of its official Twitter accounts released a poster announcing that the Chinese corporation will be at this year’s IFA holding in Berlin, Germany. The poster does hint at a 5G related reveal but that may not be the only thing we get to see. As you can see, there is an outline of a phone in the image as well.

ZTE Axon 9 IFA

Other than the hint in the poster, those who have received ZTE’s invitation said there is a 9 in the letter which may be a teaser for the Axon 9. Therefore, it is believed that the Axon 9 will be announced at the event.

The Axon 9’s existence was confirmed earlier this year by the company’s CEO who said it is the successor to 2016’s Axon 7. Later, alleged photos of the device leaked which revealed it will have a display with an 18:9 aspect ratio and dual rear cameras.

More live photos of the Vivo X23 appear online

Images of the Vivo X23 leaked online a few days ago but they aren’t sharp as they were secretly taken. Now more images have surfaced and they provide a closer and you can even say a clearer look.

In one of the images, we see the front of the Vivo X23 and it clearly shows it has a water-drop or valley-style notch. There are still bezels around but the big change is that the notch is much smaller.

A second image shows the rear of the phone. There are dual cameras arranged vertically and positioned at the left corner. Right underneath is an LED flash. There is also Vivo‘s branding on the glass back. There is no fingerprint scanner which means this will come with an in-display fingerprint sensor like the Vivo X21 UD. The third image is also of the rear but gives us a clearer look at the phone’s blue color and its light pattern design.

The smartphone was spectacular for other reasons aside from its stunning design. The device comes as the company’s first model with 1TB of internal storage and indeed the first smartphone to have such huge storage capacity. It initially comes in Black colour only but a Pure White variant available in 6GB + 128GB and 8GB + 128GB was announced last month. Perhaps buoyed by the popularity of the new colour variant, Smartisan now decided to add a variant with 512GB UFS 2.1 flash memory. Smartisan Nut R1

The 32-inch model of the Mi TV 4A is priced at Rs. 13,999 ($201) while the 43-inch model costs Rs. 22,999 ($330). Along with the standard 1-year warranty, the company is also offering an additional 1-year warranty on the display panel.

Xiaomi Mi TV 4A 32-inch, 43-inch

Further, Flipkart is also offering up to Rs. 4,000 discount through exchange on the 32-inch model and up to Rs. 6,000 off on the 43-inch model. The eCommerce platform is also offering discounts on select credit cards along with a free limited-period subscription to several online media platforms and data benefits.

The Mi TV 4A series is powered by 64-bit Amlogic T962 quad-core processor and 1GB RAM. The internal storage available on both models is 8GB.  The 32-inch device has 2 USB ports, 3 HDMI ports whereas the 43-inch model come with 3 USB ports, 3 HDMI ports, and an S/PDIF port.

Qualcomm to switch to new naming schemes starting with the Snapdragon 855

It wasn’t too long ago that Qualcomm announced that its mobile processors should be referred to as Mobile Platforms. So instead of saying the Snapdragon 660 processor, one should say Snapdragon 660 Mobile Platform. Now, a bigger change is coming to the way the chipsets are named.

According to Roland Quandt, the American chip manufacturer may be switching to a new naming scheme. This new naming scheme will make it easier to identify chipsets used for mobiles and those used in PCs. Proof of the new naming scheme has been found in databases and LinkedIn profiles of some Qualcomm employees.

Qualcomm

At the moment, the new naming scheme is already in use for two upcoming chipsets. The Snapdragon 855 (SDM855) codenamed “Hena” which will succeed the current Snapdragon 845 flagship, is now being referred to as the SM8150. The SoC will measure 12.4 x 12.4 mm and will be a 7nm chipset manufactured by TSMC.

Winfuture.de reports that the SM1850 may likely not have an integrated 5G modem. Instead, Qualcomm will include a Snapdragon X24 model with support for Cat. 20 LTE. This is surprising as it was reported earlier this year that the SDM855 a.k.a. the SM8150 will come with the SDX50 modem and be known as the Snapdragon 855 Fusion Platform. The only plausible explanation is that there will be two versions of the SDM855 – one with the X24 modem for non-5G phones and the other with the X55 modem for 5G devices.

SM8150 proof

The second chipset that has also gotten the name change is the upcoming Snapdragon 1000 (SDM1000) codenamed “Poipu” which will power ARM-based computers. The chipset has appeared in documents as the SCX8180 while still keeping the aforementioned codename.

The SC8180 will measure 20 x 15 millimeters which means it is significantly bigger than the SDM855/SM8150. Production of the chipset will also be handled by TSMC and it will be 7nm too.

There are two other processors that have also appeared in documents with the new naming scheme but there is no confirmation as to their true identities. They are the SM7150 and the SM7250. There are speculations that they are probably the new names for the newly-announced Snapdragon 670 and its closer but more powerful sibling, the Snapdragon 710.

Apart from that, Viomi also has a host of other products that are not Xiaomi branded but of exceptional quality. Like the Smart water Heater which was launched a couple of months back. The Smart Gas Water Heater is the latest addition and as the name implies, the gadget gets its energy supply from gas.Viomi Smart Gas Water Heater 1A

The Viomi Smart Gas Water Heater 1A has a main chamber with a gas burner which converts the chemical energy provided by the gas to heat and there are built-in energy-saving features. The gadget has a water intake pipe which is connected to the home’s water supply. There is also a hot water outlet as well as a gas intake valve in the middle. All three outlets are located on the bottom aspect. Cold water flows into the water heater when a hot water tap is opened inside your home. The water flow is detected by a sensor that ignites the gas burner, to heat the water in the heat exchanger. The water typically follows a serpentine pattern through the heat exchanger, absorbing as much heat as possible. The gas valve automatically adjusts to the rate of water flow in order to conserve energy.Viomi Smart Gas Water Heater 1A

In addition, the water heater can be mounted on the wall but needs a space of 600mm from the floor and ceiling. It is also required that a space of 250mm be left on both sides. The water heater has a 13L flow rate and can supply water at 13L per minute which could sufficiently meet the hot water needs of one kitchen and two bathrooms. The gadget is also equipped with digital thermostat technology and can achieve accurate temperature control of ±1 °C which is constant regardless of the season (winter or summer). There is a digital LED display screen which shows the water temperature in real-time. It also comes with smart app control which can be used to adjust the temperature from the smartphone.
