Google Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL are expected to debut at the start of October this year. The recent leaks surrounding the Pixel 3 duo have revealed their design, but none of the reports have carried their specifications. A Geekbench listing of the Pixel 3 XL has surfaced today to reveal some of its vital specs.
According to the Geekbench listing of the Google Pixel 3 XL, it is running on Android 9.0 P and it includes 4 GB of RAM. The name of the chipset that powers it is not mentioned. It is very likely to feature Snapdragon 845 SoC. The crosshatch codename of the Pixel 3 XL is also mentioned on the Geekbench listing.
In the single-core and multi-core tests, the Pixel 3 XL has respectively scored 2426 and 8355 points. The scores are not that impressive which suggests the handset that has appeared on the benchmarking platform could be a prototype model. The handset includes 4 GB of RAM which is not bad for a flagship phone. However, most flagship phones that have launched this year include 6 GB of RAM. Moreover, even mid-range phones such as ASUS ZenFone Max Pro M1 and Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro come in 6 GB RAM versions.
Hence, there is a possibility that Pixel 3 XL may also feature 6 GB RAM variant. Also, the final version of smartphone may deliver better performance than the alleged prototype that has surfaced on Geekbench.
Recent reports have revealed that the Pixel 3 will be arriving with an 18:9 aspect ratio and its larger sibling will be equipped with a notched display that will deliver a 19:9 aspect ratio. The Pixel 3 and 3 XL are expected to arrive with dual front-facing cameras and single rear shooter. These handsets are also expected to carry support for wireless charging.
Corning, Inc, the company that manufactures toughened Gorilla Glass panels for smartphone displays has confirmed through a press release today that an upcoming OPPO flagship phone will be the first device to feature Gorilla Glass 6. Since OPPO R17 and OPPO F9 are the two upcoming phones from the company, it is likely any of these may feature the Gorilla Glass 6 panel
OPPO has recently launched the OPPO Find X flagship smartphone. The handset features Gorilla Glass 5 protection for its massive display. Since the Find X is a very new flagship phone from the company, the upcoming OPPO F9 or the OPPO R17 may feature Gorilla Glass 6. Since the R17 is speculated to arrive as a high-end with in-screen fingerprint scanner, it is likely that it could be the first Gorilla Glass 6 enabled phone.
The upcoming OPPO F9 and F9 Pro are expected to feature a smaller notch than OPPO F7. Since the notch appears like a drop, the Chinese manufacturer is calling it as water droplet screen. It is speculated that the OPPO R17 may also arrive with a water droplet display.
There is no information available on the specifications of the OPPO R17. Initial rumors claim that it could be featuring Kirin 710 SoC and 6 GB of RAM. Like the other R-series smartphone, it is expected to arrive with support for VOOC flash charging. Some rumors are claiming that the OPPO R17 that is arriving in China may get unleashed as OPPO F9 in overseas market. After arriving on the next OPPO flagship phone, the Gorilla Glass 6 may arrive on the flagship smartphones from other companies later this year.
The Gorilla Glass 5 was introduced in 2015. It was first seen on the Galaxy Note 7 that had met with a premature death because of battery related issues. Since then various cellphone makers from across the world have used Gorilla Glass 5 on their smartphones. In the previous month, Corning had announced the arrival of Gorilla Glass 6. According to the company, the Gorilla Glass 6 is two times stronger than its predecessor. It has stated that the Gorilla Glass 6 could easily survive up to 15 drops from a height of 1 meter.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 9 is launching in the coming week and the company has already started its reservations in the U.S. None of the teasers from the company have revealed the appearance of the smartphone A pre-order page for the Galaxy Note 9 had surfaced for some time on Samsung’s website for New Zealand. It featured a non-functional pre-order button and a rear image of the Note 9. The webpage has been taken down, but the render of the smartphone has been captured since it was available for some time.
The rear view of the smartphone shows that its design is not very different from the predecessor model. On the Galaxy Note 8, the dual camera and fingerprint scanner were placed on the same line like the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+. To prevent users from smearing the dual cameras while accessing the fingerprint scanner, Samsung has repositioned the latter by placing it below the camera module. That’s only major change that can be seen on the entire design of the phone.
The bottom edge of the Galaxy Note 9 features a compartment for S Pen, an external speaker, USB-C port and a 3.5mm audio jack. Even though it is a blue variant of the smartphone, it features a distinctive yellow colored S Pen. Recent reports have revealed that it is the only variant that will be arriving with a different colored stylus. It was revealed in the previous month through a firmware leak that S Pen exists in colors like black, gray, violet/purple, blue and brown which suggested that Note 9 may also arrive in same color variants.
Through the above render, Samsung claims that the Galaxy Note 9 is the most powerful smartphone eve from the company. The handset is expected to be powered by Snapdragon 845 / Exynos 9810 SoC. It will be featuring a 6.3-inch S-AMOLED Infinity Display that offers an aspect ratio of 18.5:9. It may come in RAM variants like 6 GB and 8 GB and storage models such as 128 GB and 512 GB. It may come packed with a decent battery of 4,000mAh battery. It may inherit the same 12-megapixel dual camera with variable aperture from the Galaxy S9+.

Yesterday, the images of the Huawei Maimang 7 had appeared on TENAA, the telecom regulatory body from China. Today, the TENAA listing of the smartphone has been updated with its entire specifications. A recent report has revealed that Huawei has shipped more number of notched display smartphones than any other phone brand in the world. The Maimang 7 which is expected to land in European markets as Mate 20 Lite is yet another smartphone with notched display.
The Maimang 7 that has a model number of SNE-AL00 measures 158.3 x 75.3 x 7.6mm and it weighs 172 grams. The TENAA listing states that apart from black, there is no other color variant of the Maimang 7 smartphone. The handset houses a 6.3-inch IPS LCD display that produces Full HD+ resolution 2340 x 1080 pixels. It means that the display will offer an aspect ratio of 19:9. The wide notch of the phone houses two front-facing cameras.
The SNE-AL00 is fueled by 2.2 GHz octa-core processor which suggests that it could be the second phone from the company to feature the Kirin 710 SoC. It is packed with 3,650mAh battery. The handset is preinstalled with Android 8.1.0 Oreo.
The SoC is coupled with 6 GB of RAM. It includes 64 GB of internal storage. Since “not support” is mentioned for external storage, it seems that the smartphone won’t be carrying support for adding a microSD card. For photography, the Maimang 7 features 20-megapixel + 2-megapixel rear-mounted dual camera and its frontside features 24-megapixel + 2-mgapixel dual camera.
The Maimang 6 that was rolled out as Mate 10 Lite in other regions had featured an aluminum body. The Maimang 7 seems to be featuring a glass build on the rear. Below the vertical dual camera, there is a fingerprint scanner. The appearance of the back panel of the phone is similar to Porsche Design Mate 10. Now that the Maimang 6 has been certified in China, it may go official soon. There is a possibility that the Mate 20 Lite may go official by September as the October launch event could be only meant for announcing Mate 20 and Mate 20 Pro smartphones. Since Mate 20 Lite has a notched screen, it is likely that the Mate 20 and 20 Pro smartphones may also feature the same display design.

Yesterday we reported that Huawei managed to surpass Apple for the second position in terms of smartphone market share globally. Now, another report ranks Huawei first in terms of selling smartphones with a notched display.
According to a report from Sigmaintell Consulting, in the first half of this year, Huawei shipped 25.4 million devices having a notched display, making it the leading smartphone manufacturer to ship phones with a notched display.
Apple grabbed the second spot with shipments of around 20.7 million units, followed by three Chinese phone manufacturers Oppo, Vivo, and Xiaomi. Out of the top five manufacturers in terms of shipping phones with a notched display, four are Chinese manufacturers.
Overall, the industry sold over 86.1 million notched devices in the first half of this year — from the beginning of the year until June 30.
Huawei, which currently stands at the second spot in terms of overall smartphone shipments globally, shipped more than 100 million phones this year so far, which means that one out of every four devices that Huawei shipped has a notched display.
The report also reveals some interesting statistics. It suggests that a-Si LCD (including Oxide LCD) screens made up 42 percent of the global shipments in the first half of the year, with 390 million units being moved. LTPS LCD panels had a 36 percent market share from 340 million units sold, while the 200 million AMOLED screens shipped in this period accounted for 21 percent market share.
Sigmaintell estimates that global smartphone shipments totaled 604 million units in the first half of 2018, down 3.3 percent compared to last year. With a drop in smartphone shipments, global shipments of smartphone panels (based on open cell models) also dipped 1.7 percent year-on-year to 930 million units in the first half despite the growing demand for all-screen and profile-cut panels.

Motorola has unveiled its latest flagship device for 2018 – the Moto Z3. The device was announced at an event held Thursday in Chicago, in the United States. The Moto Z3 will be the final flagship in the series for this year as the tech giant hinted that there would be no Z3 Force for the first time since the Moto Z line was introduced. The new model would be released later this month in the U.S as a Verizon exclusive. Also, there is no word on when the model will make its debut in other markets.
Moto Z3 Design & Features
The Moto Z3 is set to become the world’s first 5G phone as the model is 5G-upgradable when Verizon launches its 5G network next year. The model also comes with a 5G Moto mod. In terms of design, the Moto Z3 features a glass body. The device adopts a massive 6-inch AMOLED display with minimal bezels on either side. The design includes Motorola’s signature camera module with dual sensors at the back and since it is glass, the device skips on the rear-mounted fingerprint sensor. Instead, the fingerprint sensor is located on the right side of the device just beneath the volume rockers.
In addition, the rear panel houses the pin connector for the Moto Mods. The device is compatible with all previous MotoMods Motorola has up its sleeves as well as the new 5G Moto mods which the device comes with. The 5G Mod is developed in partnership with Verizon and it is equipped with a Snapdragon X50 modem that will allow customers to eventually take advantage of the carrier’s next-generation network.
Specifications
The Moto Z3 could be called a 2018 flagship with 2017 specifications. The model is powered by last year’s Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 flagship chipset and not the Snapdragon 845 introduced this year. The chipset is paired with 4GB of RAM and there is 64GB of internal storage inside.
In the camera aspect, the Moto Z3 packs dual cameras at the rear which are basically a 12MP + 12MP combo. For selfies, there is a single 8MP sensor. The flagship is crammed with a 3000mAh battery but the 5G Moto Mod delivers an extra 2,000mAh battery power when connected. Also, the device runs on the latest Android 8.1 Oreo OS out of the box but is expected to get a speedy update to Android 9.0 P when it arrives.
Moto Z3 Price and Availability
As stated earlier on, the Motorola Moto Z3 will be available exclusively on Verizon network in the U.S. The device will start shipping on Augst 16. As for the price, the flagship model will be available for just $480 which is quite affordable except that the processor onboard is outdated. Verizon offers those who switch networks and trade in their own device a $300 trade-in credit meaning eligible owners can get this or just $180. Of course, this pricing doesn’t include the 5G Moto Mod. The price of the Moto Mod is yet to be announced but it won’t be available until the start of 2019. Further, Motorola announced a limited-time offer which will see those who purchase the Moto Z3 buy any Moto Mod that cost over $100 for just $50. The company is yet to release details on the global rollout for the model but we expect it to hit Europe, India and China soon.

Barely three weeks after the OPPO A3s was launched in India, the Chinese manufacturer has announced a new variant with a different memory configuration from the one announced earlier. The new OPPO A3s variant comes with 3GB of RAM as well as 32GB of internal storage. The is a decent leap from the 2GB + 16GB memory combo with which the device made its earlier debut.
The memory configuration is the only thing that differentiates the 2GB variant from the new 3GB RAM version. Other than that, you get the same specifications and design on both variants. Do note that the A3s comes with a microSD slot for expanding the storage up to 256GB.
To recall, the OPPO A3s pack a 6.2-inch HD+ FullView display with 1520 x 720 pixels screen resolution, 2.5D curved glass and 19:9 aspect ratio. The display also comes with a notch and 88.8 percent screen-to-body ratio. The device is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 processor clocked at 1.8GHz along with Adreno 506 GPU. On the camera end, the device features a dual camera setup at the rear comprising a 13MP primary sensor and a 2MP secondary sensor. While at the front, there is an 8MP sensor with support for AI Beauty 2.0 technology. We won’t forget in a hurry the 4230mAh battery under the hood. The phone pack connectivity features such as 4G LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth v4.2, GPS, FM radio, and Micro-USB.
The retail price for the 3GB + 32GB variant is yet to be revealed even though it is already listed on OPPO India’s website. However, since the 2GB version sells for Rs.10,990 (~$160), the 3GB variant shouldn’t cost more than $200. The model will be available online via Flipkart and on several offline retail stores.
There is a chance we will be getting two Mi MIX smartphones from Xiaomi this year. The first is the Mi MIX 2S which was announced back in March and the second which is said to be in development already is the Mi MIX 3.
The biggest change expected in the Mi MIX 3 is its design. A number of leaks have shown the device sporting a near bezel-less display. There are even rumors that Xiaomi may copy the pop-up selfie camera of the Vivo NEX.
Now a new rumor has surfaced saying the next Mi MIX smartphone will arrive on September 15. The info comes from an image that was shared on Weibo. The photo shows the lower half of the phone which is bezel-less, unlike its predecessors.
Apart from the date which is September 15, there are also two other captions. A rough translation of the first one is a question asking if a full-screen (display) is a combination of a notch and a bottom bezel while the second caption translates into “All cut off”. We believe the second refers to all the bezels being shaved off but we are not so sure about the first.
The above launch date is still unconfirmed, so take with a pinch of salt. Nevertheless, a September release date isn’t out of place. The Mi MIX 2 launched in September last year which means its successor is coming exactly a year later.
Not only that, if true, the Mi MIX 3 will be coming six months after the Mi MIX 2S which itself launched six months after the Mi MIX 2. Which prompts one to ask the question “Will Xiaomi refresh the series every six months?”
Smartisan is running a limited time promo that has its phones discounted by as much as ¥700 (~$100). It began yesterday and runs up until the 8th of August.
Xiaomi has launched another product that adds value to the popular Ninebot self-balancing electric scooter models. The product is dubbed Ninebot Go-kart kit and as the name implies, it allows owners of the Ninebot Plus to convert it into a Go-kart racing car.
The Ninebot Go-kart kit doesn’t have a propelling power of its own but utilizes the electric-powered Ninebot as it’s propeller. It has all the features of a typical racing kart with a formula 1 racing car steering wheel but with a ratio of 2.1:1. The kart has a maximum speed limit of 24Km/h. However, there are three modes for users to select from based on expertise. There is a novice mode (8km/h), normal mode (18km/h), and sport mode (24km/h). The kart can also switch to reverse by stepping on the brake pedals twice. There is also a mechanical handbrake fitted to the kart’s own wheels. The tires are non-inflatable and should be ay to maintain.
In addition, the kart kit comes with mobile app support which can display in real-time the kart’s speed, cruising range and fault reminder. The Ninbot Go-kart also can also be retracted when not in use. It has a height ranging from 130cm-190cm and can carry a load of 100kg, meaning it is suitable for use by kids and adults within the weight limit accordingly.
The Ninebot Go-kart kit comes with a fairly decent price tag of 2999 yuan($438) and is presently on reservation in China via JD.com (Jingdong). Jingdong has bundled the Ninebot Plus with the Gokart kit and offers all for 4998 yuan ($739). The kart kit will be available outside of China through third-party retailers like GearBest where it comes with a premium price tag.
Big phablets are great for people who want to use their smartphone as a productivity device, to play games or to watch videos. And they also provide an infinite battery life. The biggest phablets out there from the latest Android generation are Honor Note 10 and Xiaomi Mi Max 3, who were officially announced last month. In this Honor Note 10 vs Xiaomi Mi Max 3 comparison, we will try to help you decide which big phablet you should buy and which is the best one in terms of performance and quality-price ratio.
If you get a big phablet like Huawei Honor Note 10 and Xiaomi Mi Max 3, keep in mind that you have to deal with a huge device that is not comfortable to fit in your pockets. But on the other hand, they are very handy to use as an entertainment monster. Honor Note 10 and Xiaomi Mi Max 3 are smaller than the typical phablet thanks to their very narrow bezels, and this is an added value of both the devices. When it comes to aesthetics, Honor Note 10 wins thanks to its more elegant glass back paired with an aluminum frame. Xiaomi Mi Max 3 has a full metal unibody design and is uninspiring.
Display
The display is another plus point for the Honor Note 10. It features one of the most impressive panels ever seen on an extra-large phablet. Not only does it have narrow bezels, but also AMOLED and HDR10 technology making its color incredibly vivid and realistic, with very deep blacks. Sadly, it does not feature the Quad HD+ resolution, it would have been amazing on a huge 6.9-inch display, but it still remains an outstanding panel.
Honor Note 10 vs Xiaomi Mi Max 3: Specs & Software
Even when it comes to hardware, Honor Note 10 is way superior! With its Kirin 970 SoC and up to 8 GB of RAM, it achieves flagship-level performances and it is very cool for gaming and multi-tasking. Further, it has the wonderful GPU Turbo technology which enhances graphics performance by up to 60 percent, another added value for gaming. Xiaomi Mi Max 3 instead is just a mid-range device.
Honor Note 10 vs Xiaomi Mi Max 3: Camera
Both devices have pretty good cameras even though they are far from the top camera phones. Unfortunately, there are still no detailed camera samples and the handsets are still not in our market, so we did not have the chance to test them in detail. But on the paper, Honor Note 10 looks better with its dual 16 and 24 MP camera setup and its bright f/1.8 aperture on both the sensors. Note that you can check out our Mi Max 3 video review from here!
Battery
Xiaomi Mi Max 3 has a huge 5500 mAh battery, bigger than the 5000 mAh unit of the Honor Note 10. And it even features a very efficient chipset, the Snapdragon 636. From how usually Xiaomi optimizes its devices, I believe that Xiaomi Mi Max 3 will provide a longer battery life. Finally, an aspect in which the Mi Max 3 should win, as it loses under all the other points of view.
Honor Note 10 vs Xiaomi Mi Max 3: Price
Honor Note 10 is definitely the winner of this comparison, but if you do not need a very powerful flagship with a high-end display, note that Xiaomi Mi Max 3 has a more affordable price tag. Honor Note 10 is available in China for $410/€350 in its base variant, while Mi Max 3 starts from $252/€215.
To be honest, it’s not really fair to compare these two devices despite being large sized phablets. They are clearly aimed at two different market segments. The Honor Note 10 is meant to be your flagship phablet, while the Mi Max 3 is looking to be more of a mid-range and budget phablet option. Both the phones are pretty impressive, but if you need something that’s a flagship grade device for gaming and HD streaming, the Honor Note 10 is your best bet. For someone looking for a more budget option, the Mi Max 3 turns out to be a pretty great option too! Personally, a SD710 variant would’ve been a great option for better gaming on the large screen device, but SD636 is pretty good too, since its nearly as powerful as the SD660. In fact, you can check out our detailed analysis of the Snapdragon mid-range family from here!
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.
We are exactly a week away from the launch of Samsung’s Galaxy Note 9 Unpacked event. In the past few weeks, there have been a bunch of new leaks with some even including pricing details. Samsung itself has also released a slate of commercials teasing features of the phone. Now a new leak has surfaced and it has to do with the pricing in Malaysia.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 9 will launch in New York and availability will follow in the following weeks across the globe. In Malaysia, the phone will be sold by Lazada and pricing for the 128GB and 512GB variants have leaked.
The 128GB version of the Galaxy Note 9 will sell for RM4,299 (~$1055) while the 512GB model will sell for RM5,099 (~$1252). Lazada will provide an option for buyers to pay in installments. These prices are slightly higher than those of Indonesia which leaked earlier this week but not far off.
