The OPPO Find X comes in three versions – the base model, the Find X Super Flash Edition, and the Lamborghini Edition. So far, only the base model has been on sale. However, if you want the Lamborghini Edition, you can now pre-order it ahead of its August 10 release date.

The Lamborghini Edition doesn’t just have Lamborghini’s logo slapped on to the back of the phone, the retail box, and accessories. It actually differs on the inside too.

For starters, it is the first OPPO phone to support Super VOOC fast charge which OPPO says can charge its 3,400mAh battery from empty to full in just 35 minutes via a 50W charger. The Super Flash Edition also supports this charging technology.

The special edition Find X also has 8GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. Unlike the other two that comes in blue and red, the Lamborghini Edition has a carbon fiber appearance under its glass back which gives it a more premium appearance. The UI has also been customized.

The rest of the specs are the same as that of the other two models. So you get the same display, Snapdragon 845 processor, slide out cameras, face unlock mechanism etc.

Earlier this year, HMD Global launched the Nokia X6 smartphone in China, which will be available globally as the Nokia 6.1 Plus. The smartphone’s global rollout recently started with Hong Kong. Now, the phone is expected to soon make its way to India.

The company has teased a new product launch event in India through Twitter and has also started a content where participants will get a chance to attend the said launch event. While the company has not mentioned that it plans to launch Nokia 6.1 Plus, it’s most likely to be Nokia 6.1 Plus.

Recently, the phone’s support page went online in India. Given that the phone is currently rolling out globally, there are high chances that HMD Global is planning to launch Nokia 6.1 Plus in India. Other than that, the company could possibly launch Nokia 5.1 or Nokia 2.1. We cannot deny the possibility of HMD Global releasing all three smartphones in India at the same launch event.

To remind you of the specifications, the Nokia 6.1 comes with a 5.8-inch Full HD+ display with 19:9 aspect ratio and 2.5D Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection. Under the hood, it is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 processor, paired along with 4GB RAM and 64GB of storage.

There’s a microSD card slot which enables users to further expand the phone’s storage capacity up to 400GB. In the photography department, the smartphone sports a dual 16-megapixel camera with f/2.0 aperture and a 5-megapixel secondary camera sensor with f/2.4 aperture. On the front side, there’s a 16-megapixel camera with f/2.0 aperture for taking selfies.

Running on Android 8.1 Oreo operating system out-of-the-box, the smartphone is fuelled by a 3,060mAh battery which also supports fast charging. In India, the device is expected to come in two color options — Blue and White.

One quality for which Xiaomi is known globally is its premium but cheap smartphones as well as other products with similar features. The company’s smartphones are either flagship, mid-range or budget class models. Xiaomi doesn’t have a feature phone to its name just yet but has just launched one under the Youpin crowdfunding platform. The Qin1 isn’t just any feature phone instead, it comes with several other features which makes it look like a smartphone. Most spectacular is the artificial intelligence technology which enables the phone to offer real-time multi-lingual voice translation services.

The product is a third-party one which is shipped by Shenzhen Duojiao Technology Co., Ltd and is presently available for funding on Xiaomi Youpin for just 199 yuan ($29). It is expected to start shipping from September 15.

The Xiaomi crowdfunded feature phone is available in two models, Qin1 and Qin1s. Both models basically have the same designs but while the Qin1 is a 2G-only phone, the Qin1s is a 4G phone. That is in addition to having 2G and 3G support. Talking about the design, the featurephone packs a thin body which is just 8.5mm thick. The device is equipped with a compact 2.8-inch IPS screen having a resolution of 240x320pixels. The screen has a Corning Gorilla glass protection. You also get the same button arrangement found on most feature phones.

In addition, the phone comes with Dual SIM/ dual standby support, Wi-Fi, alarm clock, weather report and several other smart features. Moreover, the super feature phone has an IR blaster meaning it can be used as remote control for the TV, air-conditioner, set-top box, and other home gadgets. As stated earlier, the phone offers real-time AI translation with 17 languages supported. There is a built-in 1480mAh battery which can offer up to 15 days battery life on standby, 420 minutes of continuous voice call.

Meizu X8 listed on JD.com with Mi logo!

Aug 2, 2018

Chinese e-commerce giant Jingdong today released the Meizu X8 pre-sale test page with an unrealistic price tag of 6666 yuan. The price tag isn’t much of a surprise as it only shows the price tag is yet to be pegged. The most interesting aspect of the listing is the presence of the Mi logo on the veiled image depicting the X8.

This is likely an error by Jingdong and nothing more but it readily brings to mind the claim by Meizu CEO Jack Wong that the Meizu X8 would be way better than the Xiaomi Mi 8 SE. The X8 is expected to pack a Snapdragon 710 chipset just like the Mi 8SE. He left off without elaborating on the claim. That perhaps has nothing to do with the Mi logo on the product page. By the way, the page has since been removed.

The Meizu X8 joins the Meizu 16 and 16 Plus which were earlier listed for 9999 yuan. Despite the prices of the models not been revealed, the listing seems to suggest that the Meizu X8 will have a price that is two-thirds that of the flagship Meizu 16 and 16 Plus.

Huawei Mate 20 Lite images leaked as its appears as Maimang 7 on TENAA

Last year, Huawei had launched Maimang 6 smartphone. The very same phone was made available as Mate 10 Lite in European markets. The Mate 10 Lite / Maimang 6 was launched ahead of the Mate 10 series that was unveiled in October 2017. Today, the Maimang 7 has appeared on TENAA with its images. However, the TENAA listing of the smartphone is yet to be populated with its entire specifications. It is very likely that the Maimang 7 will be arriving in the European markets as Mate 20 Lite. Now that the handset has appeared on the website of the Chinese telecom regulatory body, there is a possibility that the company may launch the Maimang 7 soon in China.

A new Huawei phone that has a model number of SNE-AL00 has appeared on TENAA. It was recently revealed that model numbers such as SNE-AL00, SN-AL00B, SNE-LX1, SNE-LX2, SNE-LX3 and SNE-TL00 all belong to the upcoming Mate 20 Lite. As mentioned above, the SNE-AL00 could be landing in China as Maimang 7.

The front image of the smartphone does not clearly reveal whether the Maimang 7 will be featuring a notched display or not. However, the handset seems to be fitted with dual front cameras. The layout of the camera sensors suggest that the Maimang 7 may feature a notched display. If the Mate 20 Lite arrives with a notched screen, there is a possibility that the Mate 20 and Mate 20 Pro may feature the same kind of display.

A recent report has claimed that because of the presence of 3D structured light module, the Mate 20 and Mate 20 Pro could be equipped with notched screens. The rear side of the Maimang 7 which seems to be made out of glass features a vertically arranged dual camera system. Below it is a fingerprint scanner. There is a Maimang logo at the bottom portion on the back panel which confirms the identity of the smartphone. The appearance of the rear panel of Maimang 6 is similar to Mate 10 Porsche Design smartphone.

The Kirin 659 had powered the Maimang 6. Hence, it is very likely that the Kirin 710 may power the Maimang 7. Like the Mate 20 and Mate 20 series, it may also run on EMIU 9 based Android 9.0 P. Last year, the Maimang was released on Sept. 22 in China. Hence, there is a possibility that the company may announce the Maimang 7 by the end of this month or early September.

Aug 2, 2018

Yesterday, XDA Developers had revealed key information on the upcoming Huawei Mate 20 series through the leaked firmware files. Some more information on the Mate 20 series have been leaked unearthed through the supply chain sources, claims a Chinese publication. The new information reveals that the Mate 20 and Mate 20 Pro will both arrive with triple camera setup. Also, instead of the homegrown GPU, the Kirin 980 is now rumored to feature ARM Mali graphics.

According to the report, the upcoming Huawei Mate 20 is codenamed as Hima and the radio transmission body in China has already approved HMA-AL00 and HMA-TL00 variants. The Huawei Mate 20 Pro is codenamed as Laya. Both the smartphones are now rumored to feature triple camera system.

The Mate 20 may feature 12-megapixel + 20-megapixel + 8-mgeapixel triple camera setup whereas the advanced Mate 20 Pro may come equipped with 40-megapixel + 20-megapixel + 8-megapixel triple cameras. Like the predecessor models, the cameras of Mate 20 and Mate 20 Pro will be engineered by Leica.

The Mate 20 and Mate 20 Pro are both expected to feature Sony IMX300 and IMX600 sensors. The Mate 20’s third sensor will be a new CMOS telephoto lens. The cost of the triple camera module is expected to reduce to $40 from the current price of $60. Hence, the inclusion of triple cameras will not increase the pricing of Mate 20.

It is obvious that the Kirin 980 SoC that is slated to get announced by the end of this month will be the chipset that will be driving the Mate 20 and Mate 20 Pro smartphones. The 7nm SoC from Huawei is expected to deliver a maximum clocking speed of 2.8 GHz. Rumors had claimed that the Kirin 980 will be featuring Huawei’s homegrown graphics. However, newer information claims that it will include Mali G72MP24. Huawei has recently bagged 3C certification for a new generation of 40W fast charging adapters. Hence, it is likely that the Mate 20 duo will carry support for 40W fast charging.

The Mate 20 and Mate 20 Pro are now expected to come equipped with 3D structured light module which suggests that both the phones may feature notched displays. The Mate 20 Pro is expected to arrive with under-display fingerprint scanner. A recent report has claimed that for better results, the AMOLED screen of the Mate 20 Pro will be embedded ultrasonic fingerprint sensor for accurate results. Even though it is speculated that the Mate 20 will feature capacitive fingerprint reader, the new report states that Mate 20 and Mate 20 Pro will both feature in-screen fingerprint reader.

According to XDA Developer’s report, the Mate 20 may feature 6.3-inch AMOLED screen while the Mate 20 Pro may house a larger screen of 6.9 inches. Both the phones may come packed with 4,200mAh battery. Also, these smartphones will come preloaded with EMUI 9.0 flavored Android 9.0 P.

It is advisable to digest the report with a grain of salt since the launch of the Mate 20 and Mate 20 Pro could be two months. Hence, it is recommended to wait for further reports to confirm on the specs of the Mate 20 duo.

Alongside the Galaxy Tab S4, Samsung also announced a cheaper and more family-oriented tablet. The Galaxy Tab A 10.5 is its latest offering for those who do not need a tablet as powerful and as expensive as the Tab S4.

The Galaxy Tab A 10.5 has a 10.5” 1920 x 1200 display with a 16:10 aspect ratio. It doesn’t have slim bezels and it also doesn’t have a physical home button. Under the hood is a Snapdragon 450 processor along with 3GB of RAM and thankfully 32GB of expandable storage. Yes, we are glad it doesn’t have 16GB of storage.

There is an 8MP autofocus camera on the rear and a 5MP front-facing camera with flash. It has a 7300mAh battery and charges via a USB-C port. It also comes with Android 8.1 Oreo out of the box.

The tablet may be missing the Tab S4’s S Pen and Iris Scanner, but Samsung has kept the quad speakers. It also has Dolby Atmos support, so audio performance should be impressive.

The Galaxy Tab A 10.5 comes with a kids mode with parental control and is pre-loaded with 8 free children apps. It has support for Multi-User mode so everyone at home can use it. It also supports Samsung’s SmartThings for managing your smart home appliances.
