Xiaomi has got a plethora of WiFi router under its arsenal since it first entered the router business in 2013. That is perhaps because of the importance of the router as a networking device in the home, office and other public places. As a matter of act, the Mi Routers have become one of the company’s main products alongside the Mi phones and Mi TV. The company has just announced yet another router dubbed Mi Router 4C.
Xiaomi Mi Router 4C is an update over the fourth-generation router product line which includes the 199 yuan ($30) Mi Router 4 and Mi Router 4Q which has the same 99 yuan price tag as this latest model. The Mi Roter 4C is the third product in the series and the design isn’t very much different from that of its siblings. The router comes with four omnidirectional antennas meaning it can transmit signals in all directions regardless of where it is placed facing.
The router comes in white colour with a compact design similar to the Mi Router 4. The device also comes with a 64MB built-in memory and supports smart APP management.

As said, the device packs 8GB RAM and 256GB internal storage. the 6GB RAM model with 64GB storage and 128GB storage is already available for purchase. All models feature a microSD card slot, which enables users to further expand the phone’s storage capacity. The 4GB RAM model has not been launched in India.
In terms of optics, the smartphone features a dual camera setup on the back. It has a 12-megapixel primary camera with Sony IMX363 sensor, 4-axis OIS, 3-axis EIS, f/1.8 aperture and phase detection autofocus, and an 8-megapixel sencondary sensor with f/2.2 aperture, OV8856 sensor, and 120-degree wide-angle lens.

We reported the appearance of the Meizu 16 models’ appearance on China’s Telecom’s regulatory agency TENAA’s website a couple of days back. The Meizu 16 and 16 Plus were certified by TENAA and with the certification came the real photos and main specifications of the models. What we didn’t spot on the specs table was the presence of on-screen fingerprint sensors on both models.
Meizu had earlier released a sketch on the Meizu forum which hinted at the presence of an on-screen fingerprint sensor on the Meizu 16 and 16 Plus. As part of the TENAA listing for both models, is the presence of the regular fingerprint sensor and a second fingerprint recognition technology on the screen. We’ll have to wait until the models are launched to get the full details of the fingerprint technology at play.
According to the TENAA listing, the Meizu 16 will come with a 6.0-inch AMOLED display having a resolution of 2160 x 1080 resolution. On the other hand, the Meizu 16 Plus is equipped with a 6.5-inch AMOLED display with a similar resolution to the 16. Both models are powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor.
Chinese phone manufacturer ELEPHONE is about to hit the smartphone market with a special device and would be the first of its kind in the market. The brand is about to launch its first smartphone with a pop-up dual camera with a full-screen design which would be it’s very first since the brand’s inception.
With the dual sensor-packing pop-up camera, the device will not have a cut-out on its display (notch) and the screen ratio would be exceptional. The phone’s aspect ratio looks like what will supersede any other device of the same level. The frame of the device has been furtherly narrowed when compared to previous Elephone devices. The screen-to-body ratio is said to reach up to 95%.
The actual specifications of this device are yet to be confirmed but the company has confirmed that the device would come with a topnotch hardware configuration, powerful processor, and a large storage capacity. The device would also sport mainstream technologies such as on-screen fingerprint recognition and wireless charging. For now, we could as well regard this as a concept device which will be a long way from being official. But then, you never can tell. As time goes on, further details will emerge. We’ll keep you updated as more details emerge.

The Honor Note 10 phablet is launching on July 31. With a screen size of 6.9 inches, it will be arriving as the largest ever Honor smartphone. Moreover, it is expected to arrive with a huge battery. Although the TENAA listing of the battery capacity of the Note 10, Honor has today rolled out an official teaser to confirm that it will be arriving with a big battery of 5,000mAh capacity.
The below poster only confirms the exact size of the battery of Honor Note 10 and does not reveal any information on other specs. Recently, the large-screened Note 10 was spotted along with Nintendo Switch gaming console in a leaked photo. Like the Honor Play, the Note 10 is likely to arrive with support for 4D gaming experience.
The GPU Turbo technology that can accelerate the GPU of Kirin 970 by 60 percent will ensure that and offer optimum FPS on the Note 10. Moreover, a recent teaser of the smartphone has revealed that even though it will support a native resolution of 1080p, Honor’s A12K technology will make it possible of the phone to support 2K resolution through Artificial Intelligence. The highest configuration model of the smartphone is expected to feature 8 GB of RAM and 512 GB of native storage. It is also speculated that the smartphone may feature an advanced heat dissipation feature for effectively cooling down the internal temperature. These features suggest that the Honor Note 10 could be designed to deliver immersive gaming experience.
The TENAA listing of the Honor Note 10 has revealed that it is equipped with a 6.9-inch Super AMOLED display that supports Full HD+ resolution of 2280 x 1080 pixels. It will be fueled by Kirin 970 SoC. It will be available in RAM options like 6 GB and 8 GB and its storage models include 64 GB, 128 GB and 512 GB. For photography, the Note 10 will be featuring 16-megapixel + 24-megapixel dual camera setup and a front-facing snapper of 16-megapixel. The handset is already listed on JD with a release date of Aug. 18. However, there is no official information on the pricing and release date of the smartphone.
Various tech publications have praised the OPPO Find X for its marvelous design that features Gorilla Glass 5 front and rear panels. The handset is equipped with innovative features like huge notch-less display and motorized camera assembly. Unfortunately, the Find X has failed the bend test by JerryRigEverything. It has been also found that the motorized camera assembly that not only houses the front camera but also the dual camera is one of the weakest parts of the Find X. The malfunctioning of the motorized top section also means that the phone will fail to authenticate the 3D biometric face unlocking.
JerryRigEverything begins the durability tests on OPPO Find X by showing how shaky the motorized setup is. It does not seem to be as stable as the pop-up front camera mechanism on the Vivo NEX. The upper portion wiggles a bit which means there is a space inside that can easily accumulate dust participles. If foreign objects get inside, it can affect the proper functioning of the motorized setup.
In the scratch test, the Gorilla Glass 5 layer of the Find X developed marks at level 6 of Mohs scale of hardness. Deeper grooves can be seen at level 7. The side of the phone including the buttons are made out of metal. The rear panel is also scratch-resistant as it features Gorilla Glass 5.
The front facing camera and the sensors for 3D facial recognition that are available on the frontside of the motorized assembly are also protected by toughened glass. Since the OPPO Find X is equipped with 3D facial recognition feature, it does not feature a fingerprint scanner. In the burn test, the 6.4-inch AMOLED display of the Find X developed a white burn mark and it never recovered.
When pressure was applied from the backside of the Find X, it kept on bending which suggested that the phone could break easily with more force. When pressure was exerted from the front, the rigid and brittle AMOLED display could not handle the flexing and cracked in few seconds. Bending more from the front and rear caused the glass panels on both sides to develop cracks. The lack of stronger metal frame caused the phone to break easily.
Zack Nelson, the voice behind the JerryRigEverything YouTube channel claims that 90 percent of the smartphones that he has tested could easily pass the same bend test that was used on Find X. He added that the OPPO Find X is not designed to handle abuses. Accidentally sitting or stepping on the Find X can cause damage to it.
HMD Global revived the Nokia brand and has managed to make a mark in the smartphone market, thanks to the combination of brand recall and value-for-money offerings, especially in the Chinese market.
The Finnish company has a strong presence in Asia and has also entered the U.S. market. Nokia smartphones are available for purchase in the United States but not through network carriers.
While there is no indication that the network operators will carry HMD Global’s Nokia smartphones, the company seems to be determined to strengthen and expand its presence in the United States. According to the company’s job listings on Linked, the company is looking for e-commerce lead, product lead, and technical account manager in the U.S.
However, the company has not yet announced any plans related to the U.S. market. Once those positions are filled up, we expect to get more information related to the company’s strategy in the United States and its plan moving forward.
Even if the company establishes it’s own e-commerce store in the United States, it will be difficult to compete with the dominating players such as Samsung and Apple as well against established players like LG and Motorola, without the support of network operators.
Huawei recently tried to enter the U.S. with a carrier partnership with AT&T for its Mate 10 Pro smartphone. But just days before the official launch, the partnership was canceled due to the several security-related issues from the U.S. government.
Another Chinese smartphone brand Xiaomi is also eyeing the smartphone market in the United States. It has established its own online store in India but it not yet selling smartphones. Instead, the company made an entry into the market with lifestyle tech products.
Xiaomi has launched Xiaomi Mi A2 in Spain several days ago, which is the second Android One smartphone launched by Xiaomi and Google.

Mi A2 comes with 20-megapixel + 12-megapixel rear camera. You can take beautiful photos using the Mi A2. The 20-megapixel front camera is good for you to take your selfie.
Xiaomi Mi A2 has 5.99 inch full HD screen, 18: 9 aspect ratio and 403ppi.
The original price of Mi A2 on Gearvita is $288.98, and now you can get the Xiaomi Mi A2 for only $249.99 after using thecoupon code ’64GBMiA2′.

Recently, Huawei launched its latest technology named GPU Turbo, which claims to drastically improve smartphone’s performance. Soon after that, the company started rolling out the update to various smartphones of Huawei as well as Honor.
Honor Play was launched with GPU Turbo technology pre-installed and then the company offered a beta update to Honor 10 with GPU Turbo. Now, the company has revealed that the list of devices that will get this new technology.
The list includes newly launched smartphones as well as older devices. The Chinese brand has revealed that the GPU Turbo will be rolled out to recently launched Honor 9i, Honor 9 Youth Edition, Honor Play 7X, Honor 8 Youth Edition as well as Honor 6X which was launched in the year 2016.
While the update for the Honor 9i, Honor 7X, and 9 Youth Edition is expected to start rolling out from 31st July, the update for the remaining two devices — Honor 9 Youth and Honor 6X will be rolled out later, but the company has not announced a specific date.
The company had earlier announced that the Honor 9 Lite and Honor V10 will be receiving the update in September, along with the Honor 7X. Also, Honor 8 Pro and Honor 9 owners in all the regions will receive the update in November.
Huawei has already announced that the P20, P20 Pro, Mate 10, Mate Pro and Mate RS will be receiving the update by August. Owners of the aforementioned smartphones in regions like Europe, Russia, Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa will be provided with the update. The Huawei P20 Lite users in all the markets mentioned above excluding Russia will be receiving the GPU Turbo tech update in September.
The GPU Turbo technology from Huawei relies on hardware and software optimization that can improve the graphics performance of a smartphone by 60 percent while cutting down on the power consumption by 30 percent. It allows heavy smartphone games to run at higher fps than competitors and brings HDR picture quality and special effects in gaming.
Apart from the Samsung Galaxy Note 9, the South Korean company has couple of new devices such as Galaxy Watch, Galaxy Tab S4 and some other tablets in the coming week. Among the upcoming tablets from the company, the Galaxy Tab S4 is rumored to be packed with advanced specs. Fresh information has revealed that the company may announce the Galaxy Tab S4 at the upcoming Unpacked event that will be held on Aug. 9 to announce the Galaxy Note 9 phablet. A leaked hands-on video of the tablet has also surfaced today to reveal its appearance.
The above video only lasts for 10 seconds, but it manages to reveal that the Galaxy Tab S4 will be arriving in Black and Gray color variants. The other thing that can be seen in the short clip is that the tablet does not feature a physical home button which is available on the predecessor Galaxy Tab S3. The tablet seems to be sporting 16:10 aspect ratio display.
The Galaxy Tab S4 does not feature a fingerprint scanner. The leaked firmware files of the Tab S4 has revealed that it will be equipped with iris scanner and Intelligent Scan feature which can be found on flagship phones like Galaxy S9, Galaxy S9+ and Galaxy Note 8 phones. Intelligent Scan is a feature that combines iris scanner and facial recognition.
Plenty of information on the specifications of the Galaxy Tab S4 have surfaced in the recent weeks. The tablet is expected to house a 10.5-inch Super AMOLED display that will carry support for Quad HD resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels.
The Snapdragon 835 SoC will be powering the tablet along with 4 GB of RAM. It has a native storage of 64 GB and it is preinstalled with Android 8.1 Oreo OS. The tablet draws power from a massive 7,300mAh battery. It has a rear camera of 13-megapixel and a frontal shooter of 8-megapixel. The device will be also carrying support for DeX.
According to Techno Buffalo, its sources have revealed that Samsung’s upcoming Unpacked event that will be held in New York at Aug. 9 will be used to announced Galaxy Note 9 as well as Galaxy Tab S4. The launch invitation of the Note 9 had featured an S Pen stylus. Since the Note 9 and Tab S4 are equipped with S Pen, it is likely that both devices may get announced at the same event.
There is no information available on when it will be launching the Galaxy Watch. Probably, the next smartwatch from the company will be unveiled at IFA 2018 tech expo that will be held in Berlin, Germany at the end of the coming month.
Samsung has been working on its first foldable smartphone since 2013. After overcoming various technical glitches, the South Korean company is speculated to launch it in Q1 2019. However, fresh information reveals that Huawei may beat Samsung by launching the world’s first foldable phone by early 2019.
A recent report had revealed that Huawei has partnered with China’s BOE Technology Group for supplying it with flexible OLED display for its premium foldable smartphone. New information reveals that the first batch of foldable phone by Huawei will include small number of units in a bid to beat Samsung. An unnamed person who is familiar with the plans of Huawei has said that the company will be manufacturing around 20,000 to 30,000 units or even less for the initial buyers and to attract the attention of the industry and media.
Jeff Pu an analyst with Yuanta Investing Consulting has said that the Huawei’s first foldable phone will be hitting the market “very early 2019.” BOE Technology Group is an industry leader in manufacturing LCD panels. However, it is a new player when it comes to making OLED panels. For its foldable phone, Huawei has struck a deal with BOE instead of market leaders like Samsung Display and LG Display. Pu has added that Huawei wants to be the world’s first company to launch a foldable phone even if BOE is not completely ready with OLED display technology.
At present, there is no information available on the pricing and the markets that will be receiving it. Another source has claimed that the durability of the OLED panels by BOE for Huawei’s foldable phones is a matter of concern and it still needs improvement. The company is also likely to consider the development of the technology before confirming on the launch date for the smartphone.
Initial rumors had claimed that Samsung’s foldable phone smartphone could be called Galaxy X. However, recent reports have revealed that the company is unlikely to use the Galaxy X moniker for it. A Chinese leakster the company’s foldable phone could belong to the upcoming Galaxy F series. It is speculated that Samsung’s foldable phone would be priced between $1,500 and $2,000.

Thanks to the discount, you end up saving a noteworthy $366 on the gold-tinted Moto Z2 Play smartphone’s original asking price.

VideoLAN’s VLC media player is a very popular, free and open source cross-platform multimedia player and framework that plays most multimedia files as well as DVDs, Audio CDs, VCDs, and others. The app for Android devices is available on the Play Store for download but if you own a new Huawei smartphone, the app won’t be available on the Play store for you. That is because VideoLAN has announced on Twitter that it is blacklisting Huawei models. This is the result of several negative reviews its app got from Huawei phone users who complain that the VLC app doesn’t work as they desire on the phones
The thing is, VLC needs to stay open in the background to work but Huawei phones usually kill all background app processes in a bid to save battery. This has resulted in lots of complaints dropping on its user forums and the Play Store. Since the fault isn’t from its end, the decision to ban some Huawei devices seems to be the only option available. The announcement did state that no all Huawei phones are banned but the specifics of models this would affect were left out. It was only stated that the ban will affect recent Huawei phones.
PSA: @HuaweiMobile phones are now blacklisted and cannot get VLC on the Play Store. Their ridiculous policy of killing all background apps (except their own) breaks VLC audio background playback (of course). See https://t.co/QzDW7KbV4I and many other reports…@HuaweiFr
Apart from the VLC media player, there are several third-party players available on the Play Store. But if you are a fan of VideoLAN’s VLC player, there you can still download the APK file directly from its website. The only snag is that you won’t receive updates to new versions automatically. Every time something new is released, you will need to go download the latest version of VLC and manually install it. We’ll have to watch for how Huawei would respond to this but we doubt if the company will lose sleep over the issue.
The Meizu 16 was supposed to launch on August 8 but it appears Meizu has brought it back by a week. The Chinese manufacturer has sent out invites for an event on July 30.
As you already know Meizu is always extra with its invites and this time it has sent a bottle of shampoo along with the invite. The shampoo brand is Heads and Shoulders and we think it is a joke teasing other manufacturers whose phones have a notch or how the bezels on the Meizu 16 and Meizu 16 Plus are small.
[envira-gallery id=”203380″]
The Meizu 16 and Meizu 16 Plus will both come with Snapdragon 845 processors. They will also have AMOLED displays with the Plus variant coming with a 6.5-inch screen and the regular model having a 6.0-inch screen.
Earlier this month, Vivo announced the Ruby Red color variant of its flagship Vivo NEX smartphone that comes with an innovative design featuring a pop-up front-facing camera. Now, the company has announced that the Vivo NEX Ruby Red color variant is available for purchase in China.
The Ruby Red color variant of the Vivo NEX comes in two models — one with 128GB internal storage and another with 256GB storage. The 8GB RAM with 128GB internal storage model is priced at 4,498 Yuan (approximately $662) and the 8GB RAM + 256GB storage model costs 4,998 Yuan, roughly $736.
The phone’s body is made up of glass and is coated using the microcrystalline technology. The rear-mounted fingerprint sensor is also coated in Ruby Red color as well as the sides, including the volume rocker and other buttons.
The smartphone comes with a 6.59-inch Super AMOLED Ultra FullView “Zero Screen” Display with a screen-to-body ratio of 91.24 percent and 2316 x 1080 pixels screen resolution. All the sensors on the device are hidden under the display and instead of an earpiece, the phone comes with a Screen SoundCasting Technology.
Under the hood, the device is powered by Qualcomm‘s Snapdragon 845 processor clocked at 2.8GHz, along with Adreno 630 graphics processor. It packs 8GB RAM and comes with 128GB of internal storage. Vivo has not launched the 256GB storage variant nor the Snapdragon 710 SoC variant in India.
In the camera department, the smartphone features a dual camera setup on the back, consisting of a 12MP primary Sony IMX363 sensor with 1.4μm pixels, f/1.8 aperture, and four-axis optical image stabilization and a 5MP secondary sensor with f/2.4 aperture.
On the front side, there’s an 8MP snapper that comes with an elevating mechanism. The front-facing snapper automatically rises and hides on opening and closing the camera app, and also makes a sound to notify the user. This is done using micro-stepping motors with independent drive ICs and precision control algorithms.
The device features a third-generation in-display fingerprint scanning technology that improves the screen unlock time by 10 percent and increases the overall experience of phone unlocking. The company is actively working on improving the fingerprint scanner and has already rolled out a couple of updates improving the performance of the scanner.
It also comes with Vivo Game Engine, which is made in partnership with Tencent Games that aims to provide an immersive gaming experience based on software and hardware optimization. Further, the Vivo NEX also features 7.1-channel 3D audio, thanks to dtsX partnership. It also has Vivo Hi-Fi V1 System In Package technology for hi-fi quality sound through earphones.
The phone also comes equipped with a personal voice assistant — Jovi, which works on artificial intelligence technology. It supports several functionalities such as smart map reading, encyclopedia, shopping, translation, scanning, and screen recognition among others.
Connectivity options on the devices include Dual 4G VoLTE, Wi-Fi 802.11 ac (2.4GHz / 5GHz) 2×2 MIMO, Bluetooth 5 LE, GPS + GLONASS, and USB Type-C. It has Vivo’s newly designed custom user interface Energy UI with AI technology, running on top of Android Oreo operating system. The device draws power from a 4,000mAh battery with 22.5W fast charging support.
When the Mi 8 SE was unveiled in May, it was available in two variants – a 4GB RAM + 64GB version and a 6GB RAM + 64GB version. Now, both variants have been joined by a third which has 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage.
The new variant will sell for ¥2299 (~$338) and will be available in gold, dark gray, bright red, and bright blue. Apart from the increase in storage, it has the same specs as the other variants.
The Mi 8 SE is the first phone in the world to come with a Snapdragon 710 processor. It has a 5.88-inch FHD+ Samsung AMOLED display. It also has a notch at the top of the screen.
On the back are dual 12Mp + 5MP cameras with AI features, portrait mode, and lots of beauty modes. The selfie camera is a 20MP sensor with AI portrait mode, HDR, and soft light.
ZTE is already back to manufacturing phones now that the ban has been lifted. A new phone with model number A0722 has been seen on TENAA and it packs mid-range specs.
The ZTE A0722 has a 5.45-inch 1440 x 720 display. It is powered by a 1.4GHz octa-core processor. We believe this is one of the Snapdragon 400 series. It will come in 3GB and 4GB RAM variants with 32GB and 64GB of storage respectively.
ZTE is keeping things simple by putting just a single 13MP sensor on the rear and a 5MP front-facing camera. It will come with Android 8.1 Oreo and pack a 3100mAh battery.

Provided images show the phone has a red power button which is on the right and a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner. The rear camera is also at the top left corner and the back seems to be made of plastic.
Xiaomi’s Mijia platform has grown to become an online store for practically all your needs. The platform now sells clothes, toys electronics, drinks, foods, and even pet items. However, none of these costs as much as one of its latest products – a house furniture set.
The house furniture set is actually made by a partner company based in Hangzhou, China. It is a 25-piece furniture set that includes a living room set, a dining set, a bedroom set, and a home office set.
The whole set has the same theme. All the pieces of furniture are made from European Elm trees with PVD gold-plated non-slip feet. Those with cushions such as the chairs and headboard contain SINOMAX high-density foam and are covered in orange or brown American cowhide leather.
