Samsung will unveil its next flagship phones, the Galaxy S10 series in less than five months. And as the date draws closer, so also do the leaks about the devices increase. Fresh details about the Galaxy S10 have surfaced and they reveal some key specs of the phone.

The details were shared on Twitter by Evan Blass (@evleaks) and they cover the display, cameras, and even the phone’s user interface.

The Galaxy S10 will have a hole in its display for the selfie camera. In Evan’s words, it features a “Punch hole” style selfie camera cutout. Going by this, we are pretty sure the phone will make use of the Infinity O display unveiled at the developer conference last week.

Few preliminary Galaxy S10 details:

– "Punch hole" style selfie cam cutout (sounds like Infinity-O display).
– Ultrasonic, in-display FPS
– Three rear cameras (standard/wide/tele)
– One UI over Android Pie

— Evan Blass (@evleaks) November 13, 2018

The hole in the display isn’t the only thing you should look forward to. Evan also said the Galaxy S10 will sport an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanner. We can all agree Samsung is late to the party but better late than never, right? Galaxy S8/S8+/Note8 users who plan to upgrade next year can rest assured that the fingerprint scanner is no longer in an awkward position.

Another big info revealed by Evan Blass is related to the camera. The Galaxy S10 will have three cameras on the rear just like the Galaxy A7 (2018) however, the sensors will be different. Unlike the Galaxy A7 which has a wide + ultrawide + depth sensor arrangement, the S10 will have a standard + wide + telephoto setup. This is the same arrangement Huawei adopted for the P20 Pro.

The major aim of Xiaomi‘s smart home brand is to create a connected home where all the gadgets interact and can be controlled from a central hub. The company’s product catalogue already includes several smart home gadgets and each day, more gets added, some under the crowdfunding platform. The latest is the Tinymu smart toilet seat cover with artificial intelligence and Xiaomi’s XiaoAI voice assistance.

This isn’t the first smart toilet seat cover that Xiaomi is launching. It is actually the third of such products. There is the Tinymu smart cover with a lesser 1,199 yuan price tag and a Tinymu smart toilet cover lite priced at 799 yuan. This new version is obviously an upgraded version of the first model with the stand out feature being the artificial intelligence feature as well as the voice assistant. Unfortunately, XiaoAI assistant is still adapted for Chinese speakers only and is yet to get support for English language or any other language. So that function will only be available in Chinese. The voice assistance feature lets users control the gadget using voice prompts to activate certain functions like flushing, switch on the seat heater etc. The smart toilet seat can also be connected to the MIJIA app which will let users control the app. The device also supports wristband user identification for Mi Band series users. Thus, it actively adjusts to your personalized settings (washing position, water temperature, water flow intensity, etc.) without having to adjust the settings repeatedly.

In terms of design, the Tinymu smart toilet seat has an ergonomic 3D curved seat design which is used to make the sitting posture more comfortable. For those who spend so much time on the toilet seat, it will beep when it is seated for 30 minutes. In addition, the seat ring has 3 speeds that can be adjusted to prevent low-temperature burning. The operator panel has a simple interface and has Braille prompts for visually challenged users. In addition, the ceramic heater comes with a dual heating module which is used to instantly heat the cold water to a comfortable temperature, adjust the position of the 11-step nozzle, and cooperate with the reciprocating cleaning mode to expand the clear range and clean more thoroughly. The seat surface comes with imported polyethylene ultrafiltration membrane filter with an effective inhibition rate of 99.9% against E. coli and also solve the risk of contact cross infection. There is an imported deodorant fan which immediately absorbs the unpleasant smell after the user stands up.

The Tinymu Smart Toilet seat cover AI version is priced at 1299 yuan and is presently available under crowdfunding. It is expected to start shipping on December 26.

LG trademarks five V series names including V40 and V90 in Canada

It’s no secret that LG’s smartphone division has been struggling for quite a few years now. Despite toying with new ideas and excellent offerings like the LG G7 ThinQ, and even the LG V30, the arch-rival of Samsung has failed to make its mark in the mobile market. Now, rumours are that the Korean smartphone maker might fuse its two flagship series – the G series and the V – into one. Echoes of these rumours were heard earlier in the year as well but now there seems to be some evidence to back it up.

As per a report by LetsGoDigital, five V series trademarks ranging from V50 to V90 were unearthed from the Canadian Intellectual Property Office as the company has sought approval of these monikers. The LG V90 moniker, in particular, was also trademarked in Mexico in July. Now, this doesn’t necessarily mean that LG will be combining the two flagship ranges but the sheer amount of trademarks hint that it is a possibility. The other possibility is that LG continues its way with the current lineup. And the way in which the company has been churning out V series variants, it’s only a matter of time before it requires these trademarks.

Of course, combining the G and V series makes more sense since there isn’t much of a differentiating factor between the two and merging them would help sales figures. For now, this is all speculation and there are no concrete details as to what the troubled smartphone giant has in store for the future of its flagship devices. The company’s latest flagship device is the LG V40 ThinQ rocking five cameras.

ASUS Leaks: Zenfones with triple cameras, 10-inch Chrome OS Tablet in development

Nov 13, 2018

The year is almost at an end which means the leak taps will soon be turned on in full force ahead of CES 2019 and MWC 2019. ASUS seems to have a number of products in development and details of some of them have leaked online.

The leaks come from Roland Quandt and it includes upcoming phones and a Chrome OS tablet. According to him, ASUS will soon launch a new Zenfone phone with model number ZB634KL which will have a triple camera setup on the rear.

ASUS ZenFone ZB634KL should launch "SOON" ™. Comes with triple cam setup on rear.

— Roland Quandt (@rquandt) November 12, 2018

Russian tech blog, Mobiletelefon, said the phone is definitely the successor to the Zenfone Max Pro (M1) based on the first two alphabets of the model number (ZB) which is the same as that of the Max Pro (ZB601KL). The site adds that the figure“63” in the model number means it will have a 6.3-inch screen while the alphabets “K” and “L” indicate a Snapdragon processor and 4G LTE respectively. As it stands, the ASUS ZB634KL should launch as the Zenfone Max Pro (M2).

And the last one: "it should launch "SOON" alongside with ZB631KL & ZB633KL, aka Zenfone Max Pro (M2) and Zenfone Max (M2). Still no signs of ZB632KL.

— Лазарев Олег (@LaOlTomsk) November 12, 2018

But that isn’t the only Max phone in development. There is also the ASUS ZB632KL which has a triple camera setup too as well as the ZB631KL and ZB633KL. The ZB633KL is presumed to be the Zenfone Max (M2).

Asus ZenFone Max Pro (M1) — The ASUS ZB634KL is believed to be the successor to the Zenfone Max Pro (M1)

Apart from the phones, ASUS is also working on a Chrome OS tablet and we are not surprised. After the launch of the Acer Chromebook Tab 10 and the Pixel Slate, we know it is only a matter of time before other manufacturers jump on the train. Also, seeing as Android tablets sales keep plummetting every year, Chrome OS may be the way to go.

Don't be surprised when ASUS launches what I think is its first Chrome OS tablet ~10inch screen. Could be one of the devices we get to see at #CES2019.

— Roland Quandt (@rquandt) November 12, 2018

Chrome OS brings a number of features that are of benefits to both the manufacturer and the user. First, the OS is the same on all devices irrespective of the manufacturer. There are no custom skins like you have on Android phones, so the UI is consistent.

Apple iPhone remains best selling smartphone at Singles Day sale in China

By

Nov 13, 2018

As the 11.11 Singles’s Day sale is over, now its time for companies to calculate the profits out of total sales. Well, as from initial findings it has been made clear that Apple iPhone was mostly sold at Singles’ Day sale. As according to the report, Alibaba has made sales worth $31 billion in a single day, most of the sales were led by Chinese firms like Huawei, Xiaomi, and others. Though, as per the new in-depth report, it is found that Apple led most of the sales in the smartphones category this year.

Actual number and facts are not present but it is confirmed that Apple’s iPhones were among the top smartphones which gathered a huge number of sales. Apple’s competitor, Samsung stood on 8th place in the number of sales, while Huawei managed to stand 2nd which is followed by Xiaomi at 3rd spot. Interestingly, Xiaomi gained $575 million sales in a single day, roughly converting to 3 billion yuan.

Unlike Apple, Xiaomi managed to rake up sales in the budget smartphone category. Even Xiaomi’s home products catered to its historical sales at this year’s Singles day event.

On the other hand, Samsung is struggling to find some good place in the Chinese market. The Korean giant is meddling with a continuous decline in China. Recently, a new report spilled some beans on the 1% market share of Samsung in China. It has considerably dipped from top most selling smartphone maker to the bottom. We think it has happened due to the competitive domestic players which are offering similar devices at much fewer prices.

It is a good news for Apple, as the Cupertino giant was seen struggling in making profits in Q3, 2018 around the Globe. We hope this would gradually help Apple to maintain good profit records.

Nov 13, 2018

HTC is finding it hard to survive in the high-end smartphone market as many Chinese manufacturers are eating its chunk by giving more advanced features. Now, it seems HTC is testing some other alternatives as a budget smartphone from the Taiwanese company has surfaced at WiFi Alliance. Last week, a new budget device model numbered HTC 2Q72XXX with Snapdragon 435 received Bluetooth certification, and now the same has hit WiFi Alliance.

HTC’s new budget smartphone will be certified for the 2.4 GHz b/g/n bands. It is expected to run on Android 8.1 Oreo out of the box. Further, WIFi certification found that it runs on the Snapdragon 435 Soc with the octa-core processor with a maximum clock speed of 1.4 GHz.

A device bearing the same model number and specs has appeared on Geekbench a month ago, and if we correlate than it will come with 3 GB RAM. It scored 684 points on a single core test and hits 2585 with multi-core test.

Currently, no other detail has surfaced, even though HTC has not confirmed anything about it. At the moment there is relatively little known about the unannounced HTC smartphone. The smartphone will be unveiled this year, but it is also possible that it will be here in early 2019.

In a new announcement made by Honor on official Weibo Handle, revealed that Honor 10 Lite edition would be made official on November 21st in Beijing, China. It’s another variant of Honor 10 which was launched earlier this year. There was speculation that Honor might announce Honor 10 Lite or 10i version, but now it is clear that they are going to launch Honor 10 Lite edition. It seems Honor wants to compete against Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite version which was launched last month with high-end specs.

As per the reports and rumors, it is believed that Honor 10 Lite edition will carry Qualcomm Snapdragon 710 SoC. It will feature gradient color design as like of Xioami’s Mi 8 Lite. It will host dual rear camera and a fingerprint sensor on the back. Other specs and details have not been confirmed until now. We expect some more teasers before launch which will give us an overview of the device.

Honor has tied up with Chinese pop singer Zhu Zhengting as the Honor mobile’s Lite brand ambassador. He’s a pop singer and film actor in China born in 1996. Honor is not new in working with big stars, they have already worked with Zhao Liying, Hu Ge, Sun Yang, Bai Yu, and other public figures.

It is expected to be priced between 1000-2000 Yuan which is somewhat similar to the Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite edition. It will be out in multiple RAM and storage variants and will run Android Oreo out of the box.

Although, Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite carries a 6.26-inch Full HD+ notched display with 1080×2280 pixels resolution and 19:9 aspect ratio. Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 SoC powers it with Adreno 512 GPU. There’s a dual shooter of 12 megapixel+ 5 megapixel on the back while a 24-megapixel sensor sits on the front.

As far as the specs are concerned, then Honor 10 Lite appears to be in better position than the Mi 8 Lite. Still, we have to wait for the official announcement before we compare it with each other.
