Sadly, faking samples to promote smartphones seems to be becoming a normal marketing strategy. After Huawei posted camera samples taken from a DSLR pretending them to be shot from the Nova 3i, and after various Chinese smartphone were caught cheating on benchmarks, now even Xiaomi is trying to promote its latest flagship by posting fake photos. The company’s top exec Donovan Sung posted a new camera sample on Instagram to promote the Poco F1. But some Reddit users immediately discovered that this camera sample is far from being new and it wasn’t taken from Xiaomi Poco F1‘s dual cameras.
Indeed, Donovan Sung had already posted this photo in April to promote the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S, and it also contained the watermark highlighting that it has been shot on Mi Mix 2S AI dual camera. He canceled the watermark, filtered the photo, then reposted it on Instagram saying that it has been taken from the new Poco F1. This was probably done because, in order to guarantee a very affordable price while keeping a flagship hardware side, the company decided to equip the handset with inferior cameras compared with other Mi flagships.
Indeed, while the primary sensor is borrowed from the Mi 8 (the primary sensor has a 12 MP resolution and a f/1.9 aperture), the secondary one is a cheap 5 MP lens with f/2.0 and it is used for capturing depth information. On the other hand, there is to consider that this is the most affordable device with a Snapdragon 845 chipset inside, which is the best Qualcomm SoC at the moment. It is especially thought for gamers and for the most advanced users, even though it comes with a cheap polycarbonate design to cut costs.
Nubia Z18 is the company’s latest flagship model and it is indeed a flagship in all sense. The design includes the now popular waterdrop screen but even at that, the design is spectacular. You get a high screen to body ratio and even at that, the screen is curved. The Z18 is available in three attractive colours; Nebula Red, Deep Dark Night, and a Starry Night edition. We brought you the hands-on photos of the Nebula Red, and Deep Dark Night variants not too long ago. Now you can check out the Starry Night variant in these official pictures.
The Z18 Starry Night variant is unlike what we have seen in previous smartphones. The back panel is coated in a dark blue on the upper aspects while the lower part is a cool mixture of white and blue with a touch of yellow in such a way that it looks like the night sky full of stars. It even seems to have done a better job than Van Gogh did with his oil painting – Starry Night from where the design draws inspiration. This is an impressive paint job, especially since the back panel is made from glass.
The Nubia Z18 Van Gogh Starry Night Collector’s Edition is priced at 3,599 Yuan, roughly $526. The Z18 will go on sale from September 11 through Nubia’s official website, Jingdong Mall, Suning, and Tianmao Mall. However, we don’t know if this edition will be available. Whenever it does become available, expect it to be in limited supply.
At IFA 2018 Huawei confirmed that the new Huawei Mate 20 series will be officially unveiled on October 16 in London: almost a month and a half from now. Meanwhile, its Lite version has been already announced and several leaks have started to surface online. Now, a known YouTube channel called Concept Creator has published a concept video showing the handset from every angle and revealing one of the most innovative and beautiful designs of 2018. Note that this is not the official look of the upcoming flagship, but the video is based on the most reliable leak and pieces of info surfaced in the past couple of months.
According to the concept video, Huawei Mate 20 will have a full borderless design with no chin and a waterdrop notch containing the front camera only. Bezels will not be the thinnest you have ever seen on a phone, but they will be quite narrow and, most importantly, all of them will sport the same thickness, adding to its symmetry. Above the front camera, there will still be some space for the earpiece, but the fingerprint reader will be placed on the back.
So, even this year we won’t likely see an in-display fingerprint reader on the standard version of the Mate 20, but it may be exclusive for the Porsche Design variant (which is still unconfirmed). Talking about the rear side, we can clearly see a glass panel (the frame is made of metal), as well as a triple camera setup placed at the center in a 2×2 matrix (one spot is occupied by a circular flash LED). On the lower part of the phone, there is a speaker grille, a USB-C port to charge the device and a microphone, while at sec 0:30 in the video we can briefly see a 3.5 mm audio jack on the upper part.
Do you agree with the concept? Will you be happy if this is the final design of the Mate 20?
We recently reported that iVoomi is planning to launch a new sub-brand in the Indian market and will also launch a budget smartphone under its new brand. Today, iVoomi officially launched its sub-brand Innelo and said that the brand will be backed by supply chain, operations and service infrastructure of iVoomi in the Indian market.
The company added that it’ll be supported by a network of more than 500 service centers across the country. Along with that, it also announced that the company will launch a new budget smartphone with a notched display under this new brand, which will be available for purchase exclusively through Amazon India.
However, the company has not yet announced the launch date for its new smartphone, but the launch will take place by the end of this month. After the smartphone, the company is also eyeing to expand the business by introducing smart accessories.
Commenting on the launch of the new brand, Ashwin Bhandari, CEO, Innelo India, said:
We are delighted to bring our sub-brand Innelo to India. With a vision to capture the premium smartphones and accessories market, we aim to bring high-end technology products and offer them at pocket-friendly prices. With Innelo, we intend to become a sustainable, youth-centric technology conglomerate; creating products for India, in India. The brand’s products are tailor-made to suit the Indian audience and environment.
He further added that the products that would be launched in India will be priced between Rs. 7,000 to Rs. 13,000 and would contribute to the ‘Make In India’ initiative but assembling and packaging the products in India.
In regards to the phone from the company, Innelo has already teased that the device will have a sleek design and will be available in multiple color options. However, no more information is known about the upcoming smartphone.
The biggest Android tablet ever launched has a successor. Samsung Galaxy View 2 has officially received both Wi-Fi and the Bluetooth certifications, and this proves that the Korean giant is planning to unveil it soon. The upcoming huge tablet has been certified with the model number SM-T927A, but not much has been revealed about its specs sheet. At the moment, we know that it will support Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n/ac networks, the dual band technology with 2.4G and 5G frequencies and Bluetooth 5.0.
The last info surfaced on the listings was that it will have Android Oreo installed out of the box. For the rest of the specs of Samsung Galaxy View 2, we still have to rely on previous reports. According to them, the tablet will sport a smaller display than its predecessor, but it will still be a huge panel with a diagonal of 17.5 inches and a Full HD resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels.
Under the hood, it will boast a Samsung Exynos processor paired with 3 GB of RAM. Further, it will support the S Pen for handwriting and drawing — just like the newly-announced Galaxy Note 9. The remaining specs are shrouded in mystery, as well as its official launch date and the pricing.
China’s once booming video gaming market is under pressure as regulators have tightened its grip on the approval of new games. This is not a new thing, as according to China’s top state media, Government has not granted any new licenses to any new games since March, 2018. For a market as big as China, this is a really big deal!
China is doing so to tackle the increasing gaming addiction among children. As per the Xinhua News Agency, Online Gaming is a huge hazard to health and deteriorate their overall development.
The news began circulating, after last week’s document which was published under the guidance of Chinese president Xi Jinping. The document outlines how China would decrease the myopia ailment among children’s. In a response, today, Xinhua News Agency stated that “For the nation’s future, we can never allow gaming companies to hunt for wealth by inducing teens to get addicted [to games].”
Gaming addiction is not new concept in China, but it has risen to alarming levels now. In rural China, children are more addicted to games due to different lifestyle. The new commentary by State Media directly follows the latest report by the WHO (World health Organisation), which states that compulsively playing video games qualifies as a mental health condition. Further, gaming shift the focus of children from studies and mislead them with wrong views about the world. These reasons are catering to the China Government’s decision to tighten the grip over the gaming market.
Now, the Chinese regulator will restrict the amount of time people spend in playing games. Also, they will try to restrict games which are more prone to addiction. It will also establish a new reminder system for games which will send notifications to users and will remind about the time, and health advisories.
The new stand by Chinese Government will surely hit the gaming companies in China. It has been the largest gaming market in terms of size but now, the growth is slowing for the first time after many years. The Year-on-Year growth has dipped this year. Even, China’s major internet giant, Tencent Holdings has posted loss for the first time since 2005. Similarly, NetEase, one of the World’s biggest game companies has got lower earnings than expected. No new games have been published since March 28, 2018 in China. Currently, we are unsure when China will start issuing licenses to new Games.
The Xiaomi Mijia smartwatch has a minimal design and it may look like a regular watch. However, it packs quite a few smart features like a pedometer, message reminder and it can show caller’s ID, and other notifications from your phone. In addition, the watch is water-resistant and it has a battery standby time of 6 months.
Xiaomi Redmi 6 is yet another budget phone from Xiaomi. The device costs about $150 but as usual to Xiaomi, it offers quite a lot of value for the price. The Xiaomi Redmi 6 ships with the Helio P22 chipset, 4GB of RAM and 64GB of expandable storage. Also, the phone has very good cameras and great battery life.
Electric scooters have become very popular around the world and the best time to get great discounts on them is the end of summer.
The Xiaomi M365 Folding Electric Scooter is one of the most popular scooters and you can now get it for an incredibly low price of just $412.99.
Each year or even more frequently the Chinese company OnePlus releases a new phone that sets a standard in its price category. The OnePlus 6 is the latest and probably the greatest offering the company has ever made and it now costs just $529.99 but it offers so many premium features of the phones that still cost $200, $300 or even $400 more.
Huawei’s Honor sub-brand has announced two new smartphones for the mid-range category. They are the Honor 8X and the Honor 8X Max. Both phones are not just bigger versions of each other but also differ with respect to specifications.
Honor 8X
The Honor 8X has a 6.5-inch 1080 x 2340 screen with a notch. This is the same type of notch we have seen on other Honor phones this year. Honor says the phone has a 91% screen to body ratio, a 19.5:9 aspect ratio, a 4.25mm narrow chin and has a COF packaging process.
The phone is also the first smartphone to have a TUV Rheinland certified display. The certification means the device passes TUV Rheinland’s test for safe displays.
The Honor 8X has a unique design. The back is covered in a 15-layer glare 2.5D glass which has two different textures. The frame is made of metal and there is glass on the front too.
The Honor 8X is powered by a Kirin 710 processor paired with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of expandable storage. It has a 16MP f/2.0 front-facing camera with tons of features and a 20MP + 2MP dual camera combo on the rear. The rear camera has AI scene recognition which changes the camera settings to best suit what you are trying to shoot. There are also tons of shooting modes including portrait mode, slow-motion recording, and time-lapse photography.
The phone runs Android 8.1 Oreo with EMUI 8.2 on top. It has a 3,750mAh battery but sadly only supports 5V/2A charging via a MicroUSB port. The Honor 8X supports using two SIM card (nano only) and a MicroSD card slot at the same time. There is Bluetooth 4.2 and support for aptX audio. It also has a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner and supports GPU Turbo.
Price and Availability
The Honor 8X comes in black, blue, red, and purple. It is priced at ¥1899 (~$240) for the 6GB RAM + 128GB version. There is also a 4GB RAM + 64GB version priced at ¥1399 (~$177) and a 6GB RAM + 64GB version priced at ¥1599 (~$202). Pre-orders begin today up until September 10 while main sales will commence on September 11 at 10 AM.
Honor 8X Max
The Honor 8X max has a 7.12-inch water-drop display with a 1080 x 2244 resolution. It also has a TUV Rheinland certification which means the display is safe for the eyes.
Powering the Honor 8X Max is the Snapdragon 636 processor paired with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. The phone has support for storage expansion, so users can add up to an additional 256GB of storage via the MicroSD card slot. There is also a Snapdragon 660 version which has 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage.
There are dual cameras on the rear of the phone – a 16MP f/2.0 sensor + 2MP f/2.4 sensor. Just like the Honor 8X, the camera sensors are arranged vertically on the 8X Max. The front camera is an 8MP f/2.0 sensor. There is also a fingerprint scanner on the rear of the phone.
Honor is advertising the 8X Max as a media consumption device so it has packed it with stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos audio technology. It also has a large 5,000mAh battery with support for 9V/2A fast charging. It can also charge other devices including the Honor band via USB OTG.
The phone also runs EMUI 8.2.0 based on Android 8.1 Oreo.
Drone technology has gained tremendous acceptance and is now utilized in several sectors of the global economy. Its deployment cuts across tracking down illegal immigrants, poachers, trans-border drug traffickers and in some cases terrorists. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) are also useful in the movie industry and at homes as a plaything. We are about to see the first of such drones that would come with both amphibious and aerial capabilities and manoeuvres. Known as Spry, the drone is said to be the only waterproof drone that submerges under water, floats like a boat and flies in the air.
Spry is built to be able to submerge for some moments under water and float back to the surface. It can also flip on its back and fly like a bird. It is built with an optically-engineered polycarbonate dome which provides high transparency without distortion and so it is strong and durable. Most importantly, it is waterproof. Not only is the drone waterproof, the remote control can also be used inside water.
In addition, the drone is equipped with an interchangeable battery which can fly for up to 17 minutes. The battery can also supply power for flights of speeds of up to 70 kilometres per hour (43mph). This speed was achieved using its standard two-blade propellers. Thus, with three blades it can go even faster. It comes with several other features of high-end drones such as GPS, follow a subject, automatic levelling, one-button return command etc.
The Spry waterproof drone is presently on funding campaign on Kickstarter, The goal has already been surpassed and so we expect the company to commence assembly in no distant time. The estimated delivery period for backers is November 2018.
The Mi 8 series already has three members – the Snapdragon 710-powered Mi 8 SE and the Snapdragon 845-powered Mi 8 and Mi 8 Explorer Edition. New reports have revealed Xiaomi may be adding two more members. According to Mysmartprice, the two new Mi 8 variants are the Mi 8 Youth and the Mi 8 Screen Fingerprint Edition. Think of the latter as a sort of Mi 8 UD.
Apart from the names of the two new models, the color variants and memory configuration for both phones have also surfaced. The Mi 8 Youth will come in three variants and three memory configurations while the Mi 8 Screen Fingerprint Edition will have two color variants and two memory configurations.
The Mi 8 Youth Edition will launch in 4GB + 64GB, 6GB + 64GB, and 6GB + 128GB variants. Available color variants are Space Gray, Gold, and Blue. The Mi 8 with an in-display fingerprint sensor will be available in 6GB + 128GB and 8GB + 128GB while available color variants are listed as black and gold.
Chinese leaker @Ice Universe believes the Mi 8 Youth Edition may be the ¥1999 (~$292/€252) phone scheduled to launch in mid-September. However, the rumored processor is more of upper mid-range (Snapdragon 670/Snapdragon 710) than high-end.
Just five days after its official unveiling at IFA 2018, Huawei has launched its latest Kirin 980 AI chipset in China. The new chipset was launched in a ceremony held earlier today. The Kirin 980 happens to be the world’s first chipset built on the 7nm process. The new chipset also scores another first as it is the first commercial ARM Cortex-A76 chipset having two large Cortex-A76 cores. In addition, it is the first chipset with a Cat.21 4.5G baseband, 1.7Gbps Wi-Fi as well as dual-core NPUs.
As a result of these improvements, the Hisilicon Kirin 980 chipset comes with a 37% increase in its overall performance over the Snapdragon 845chipset and also is 32% higher in energy efficiency when compared to Qualcomm’s flagship chip. In comparison with its predecessor, the Kirin 980 chipset has a mammoth 75% increase in performance over the Kirin 970 while energy efficiency is increased by 58%.
The Kirin 980 AI chip is also integrated with theARM Mali-G76 which is equally a first in terms of commercialization. Huawei attaches great importance to photography. I’m sure we can remember the Mate 9/ Canon DSLR camera sample photo fiasco which engulfed the P9 after it was launched in 2016. The company won’t likely have any need to pass a DLSR camera sample for that of its upcoming flagship because the new chipset is integrated with a new generation of dual-core ISPs. Thus, image processing speed has increased by 46%, shooting energy efficiency has increased by 23%, and shooting response speed has increased by 32%. At the same time, there are multiple noise reduction technologies to enhance the details of the photos.
Kirin 980 supports the new Goggles 2.0 AI system, which has tremendous improvement in sensing, measurement, cognition and calculation. It supports 33 APIs as well as 147 operators and supports real-time multi-person gesture recognition, real-time intelligent video processing and so on. The HiAI platform continues to be open to the public and supports a variety of third-party application access, especially AR augmented reality, video, photo taking, and more. You can scoop more details from our Kirin 980 launch article.
Nubia took the wraps off its latest flagship, the Nubia Z18, a few hours ago. The smartphone comes with a display with a similar design to that of the Essential PH-1. However, Nubia has named it Infinite Waterdrop Display.
The phone comes in three variants – Nebula Red, Deep Dark Night, and Starry Night. Hands-on photos of the first two color variants have been posted online.
The Nubia Z18 does look like the Essential PH-1 with respect to its display but there are still a number of differences. The screen of the Nubia Z18 is more curved at the bottom corners compared to that of the Essential. Also, the top bezel of the Z18 is slightly thicker. Where the Nubia does win is in the side bezels which are one of the thinnest we have seen on a phone.
[envira-gallery id=”209951″]
The Z18 has a glass back and it is no surprise it is a fingerprint magnet, though it looks like the Nebula Red variant does a better job at hiding it. Depending on the angle light hits the phone, the pattern on the back should appear different.
The phone packs dual cameras and as Nubia is known to do, it has a red ring around its sensors (it’s also around the front camera too). The camera is slightly raised and there is a dual LED flash flanking it on the right. The Z18 also packs a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner.
It all starts with a nice design including a 5.84″ 1080p+ full-view display with minimal bezels and the notch. Also, the phone is made out of metal and it definitely looks and feels premium.
Today, at a launch event in Beijing, China, Nubia took the wraps off its flagship smartphone — Nubia Z18. The phone, which comes with a starting price of 2,799 Yuan (approximately $409), and will be available for purchase in China from 11th September.
The phone features a 6-inch Full HD+ “Infinite Waterdrop” display with a screen resolution of 2180 x 1080 pixels, producing a pixel density of 403ppi and 18:9 aspect ratio. The display covers about 91.8 percent area on the front side and is protected by a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass.
Under the hood, the smartphone is powered by Qualcomm‘s flagship Snapdragon 845 AIE octa-core processor clocked at 2.8GHz, coupled with Adreno 630 graphics processor. The processor comes with the third generation of multi-core AIE engine that is claimed to be 3X times faster than the previous generation. The device packs up to 8GB RAM and 128GB of internal storage.
The Nubia Z18 comes with Nubia Evolution Tensor technology, which the company describes as evolutionary machine learning technology. With the technology’s deep learning ability, it combines different algorithms to make up for each other’s strengths. It also supports and is compatible with Caffe, Pytorch, TensorFlow and other such training frameworks. The company further adds that the Nubia ET technology can speed up its own learning ability by nearly 200 percent, thanks to the multi-frame model.
In the camera department, the phone comes with an AI-based dual camera setup on the back, featuring a 16-megapixel and 24-megapixel camera sensors with f/1.6 aperture. It also comes with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) and Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) for smoother video recording. On the front side, there’s an 8-megapixel snapper with Portrait Mode.
The camera setup, which is powered by Spectra 280 ISP, is claimed by the company to provide the industry’s strongest performance. The phone comes with a new NeoVision ET Image Engine, which claims to be bringing evolution in the photography. It supports features like AI Intelligent Scene Recognition and AI-based post image processing as well.
The NeoVision ET Image Engine can accurately identify more than 500 types of scenes and the company claims that it’s recognition accuracy is 40 percent higher than the ordinary technology. It also supports AI Classified Albums for smarter and efficient album management. There’s also AI-based ET Art Filters onboard, including the Van Gogh filter.
The camera, which the company claims is the “king of night photography”, comes with the ability of pixel-level recognition and can distinguish the noise points with the help of artificial intelligence. This enables the phone to take stunning images during night-time.
As for the connectivity options, the device comes with 4×4 MIMO multi-antenna, which increases the data transmission rate by 100 percent and supports the speed of up to 640Mbps. It packs usual connectivity options including 4G LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS and USB Type-C. The device comes with DTS + D-BASS combination, which offers more dynamic bass, stereoscopic sound field, and an immersive gaming experience.
The phone is running the Android Oreo-based Nubia UI 6.0, which comes with Maverick Voice 2.0 — a built-in AI-based smart voice assistant. The Nubia UI 6.0 comes with a lightweight visual aesthetic design. Thanks to the Nubia ET, it intelligently boots and actively learns user behavior, enabling applications to start more quickly. It also comes with powerful improvements in gaming performance.
There’s also a back-mounted fingerprint sensor for added security. The Nubia Z18 is powered by 3,450mAh battery which comes with NeoPower 3.0 Smart Power Saving Technology and supports NeoCharge 2.5 Fast Charging technology.
The 3D curved glass bodied smartphone comes in two color options — Deep Dark Night and Nebula Red. The company has also introduced Nubia Z18 Van Gogh Starry Night Collector’s Edition. While the standard variant with 6GB RAM + 64GB storage costs 2,799 Yuan ($409), the 8GB RAM + 128GB storage model is priced at 3,299 Yuan (approximately $482).
On the other hand, the Nubia Z18 Van Gogh Starry Night Collector’s Edition is priced at 3,599 Yuan, roughly $526. The Nubia 18 will go on sale from September 11 through Nubia’s official website, Jingdong Mall, Suning Easy to buy, and Tianmao Mall.

Elephone, the China-based local smartphone manufacturer, is all set to jump on the pop-up camera bandwagon that was started by Vivo. The company is working on Elephone PX smartphone, featuring dual front-facing elevating cameras and the phone’s images have now surfaced online.
The image reveals that the phone will come with an elevating mechanism for the front-facing camera, which houses two camera sensors. While the design concept for elevating mechanism is similar to that of Vivo NEX, the company has opted to change its placement position. In the Elephone’s device, the pop-up camera is placed in the center instead of the left side.
Due to the elevating front-facing camera, there’s no need for a notch on top of the display to house the sensors. Further, the device offers higher screen-to-body ratio with minimal bezels surrounding the display.
The leaked images also reveal that the smartphone will come with triple camera sensors on the back. The back camera setup seems similar to that of Huawei P20 Pro, which is the first smartphone to feature a triple camera setup. There are two sensors with an LED flash in between. Below the dual-camera setup, there’s another camera sensor. The entire setup is placed on the top-left corner.
The phone also comes with a fingerprint sensor mounted on the back panel, thus it’s confirmed that the phone will not come with an in-display fingerprint sensor which most of the devices with elevating mechanism offers.
We recently reported about the Elehone PX’s pop-up camera mechanism. It has a spiral axis that starts turning when the front camera button is pressed, making the camera module move upwards. The camera module is also equipped with a spring, probably for stabilizing and smoothening out the movement of the module.
Currently, there’s no information available about the phone’s specifications, but we are expecting that the device will pack high-end specifications. It seems that the phone’s launch is not far away but there’s no official announcement from the company yet.
