OPPO‘s F and R series usually come with almost similar designs. That could get even more similar with the upcoming OPPO F9 Pro and R17. The Chinese company is expected to launch the F9 and F9 Pro in India and other markets outside China. OPPO India has now released a teaser for the F9 Pro today and it is similar t what we have seen of the R17.

Even though this is similar to that of the Essential Phone, it is different in that the notch isn’t a U-shaped one but is shaped like a valley.

The F9 Pro teaser poster also confirms the presence of a dual camera setup at the rear. In addition, the teaser clearly states that the device will come with OPPO’s VOOC fast charging with 5 minutes of charge touted to deliver 2 hours of talk time. Although it wasn’t expressly stated, the teaser also suggests that the device will have a waterproof body but no word on the IP rating yet.

Jul 31, 2018

OPPO R17 has been in the news quite frequently for some time now. The live image of the device was recently spotted online and that was preceded by its appearance on the website of China’s Telecom regulatory agency TENAA. A set of renders of the R17 have now been shared by Twitter concept designer Benjamin Geskin. The design who also describes himself as a leak visualisation expert stated that the renders are based on leaks about the R17.

The most spectacular takeout from the renders is the front design which has a notch design similar to that of Andy Rubin’s Essential phone. The notch is just big enough too house a single selfie camera but it could also have an opening for the earpiece as well as other sensors. The use of such tiny notch at the top means the R17 will come with a higher screen to body ratio than its predecessors. This size of the notch which is also similar to those on Sharp’s AQUOS phones and looks much tolerable than the iPhone X style.

The rear design of the R17 was shown clearly when the photos appeared on TENA’s website. So, it isn’t any different from what that of this renders. The design includes a horizontally aligned dual rear cameras with LED flash and OPPO’s logo at the middle. We must note the absence of a fingerprint sensor at the back and since there is no physical button up front, the device may come with an on-screen fingerprint sensor as well as facial recognition technology. We are yet to get the specs of the device but expect that to make an outing soon.

Jul 31, 2018

Lenovo Group VP Chang Cheng was quite vocal about the features of the Lenovo Z5 before its launch in early June. Even though it had arrived as a mid-range device, Cheng had teased the phone in such a way that it appeared like a flagship smartphone to the audience. He is back again with a new claim on Weibo that Lenovo will be the first smartphone manufacturer to launch a phone that will feature Snapdragon 855 and 5G connectivity.

Cheng has not revealed any information on the specifications of the mysterious Lenovo phone that will feature SD855 and 5G support. Last year, Qualcomm had announced the Snapdragon 845 by the end of 2017. This year too, the next generation 7nm Snapdragon 855 SoC may get announced by the end of 2018. The smartphone will be powering major flagship phones from different brands in the coming year. Previous reports have claimed that the Samsung Galaxy S10 and S10+ could be one of the first phones to feature Snapdragon 855 SoC.

Various smartphone manufacturers are now competing with each other to launch the world’s first 5G smartphone. Huawei is rumored to debut its first 5G smartphone by June 2019. OnePlus 7 is also expected arrive as one of the first phones with 5G support. The OnePlus 7 could be powered by Snapdragon 855 and it may arrive in May or June 2019 as the OnePlus 6 was made official in May this year. Samsung, OPPO, Vivo, ZTE and Nokia are some of the other companies that are reportedly working on 5G smartphones.

Since Huawei and OnePlus are expected to launch first 5G phones by Q2 2019, Lenovo will have to launch its first 5G phone with Snapdragon 855 by in Q1 or early Q2 to fulfil the statement that Cheng has released today. Will Lenovo really launch the world’s first 5G mobile phone with SD855 or is just another false claim from the Lenovo executive? Share us your views by posting your comments below.

Huawei Mate 20 Pro likely to feature ultrasonic fingerprint scanner, 3D face unlock

By

-

Jul 31, 2018

Huawei has decreased its reliance on Qualcomm’s smartphone chipsets since it has been using its homegrown Kirin SoCs. New information reveals that the two companies have teamed again as the upcoming Mate 20 Pro flagship phone is likely to introduce Qualcomm’s second-generation ultrasonic fingerprint scanner.

A Chinese publication has claimed that the Huawei Mate 20 may feature a conventional under-display fingerprint scanner. The Huawei Mate RS Porsche Design which is first in-display fingerprint scanner enabled phone from the company features the optical in-screen fingerprint technology supplied by Goodix. Hence, the Mate 20 may feature the same technology.

On the other side, the Mate 20 Pro will be an advanced phone that may offer reliable and accurate results through ultrasonic fingerprint scanning. The other advantage of this new technology by Qualcomm is that it can be incorporated under thicker glass. The traditional capacitive fingerprint scanners can only work under 200 – 300 microns of glass, but Qualcomm’s second-generation ultrasonic fingerprint scanning technology can function accurately under thicker glass of up to 800 microns.

Whether the fingers are wet or greasy, users will be able to instantly unlock a smartphone that is fitted with such a sensor. The report claims that the deal between Qualcomm and Huawei allows the latter to be the only company to use ultrasonic fingerprint scanning technology by the U.S-based firm until February 2019. Other smartphone OEMs could be able to use Qualcomm’s ultrasonic fingerprint scanning solution by the remaining first half of 2019.

A report that had surfaced four months ago had also claimed that the upcoming Huawei flagship will feature Qualcomm’s under-display fingerprint scanner. The report had revealed that since 3D structured light module for 3D face scanning is expensive, the Mate 20 series won’t be featuring it. However, newer report claims that the Mate 20 series will be arriving with support for 3D face unlock and because of it they will be priced expensively.

A leaked image of the alleged Mate20 Pro had surfaced yesterday to show its front design. The leak revealed that it will be coming with notch-less display with very high screen space, pop-up selfie camera, triple camera setup, 40W fast charging, Kirin 980, GPU Turbo and 5,000 Yuan pricing (~$732).

Top 10 UI with best performance released by Master Lu Benchmark: OnePlus wins

We are used to seeing benchmarking platforms testing the hardware side of smartphones in order to evaluate their performance. But the hardware side is not everything when it comes to the overall performance of a mobile device: among the other factors, there is also software optimization. When it comes to the software side of Android smartphones, manufacturers usually take two choices: make heavily customized versions of Android for their devices or release them with stock Android version with a low amount of customizations (or even with no UI customizations at all).

The first solution provides more features and useful applications, while the second one usually results in better performance. Master Lu Benchmark has released its personal top 10 of best Android user interfaces in terms of performance. According to the ranking, Hydrogen OS by OnePlus is the best one, and it is mostly a stock UI. At the second place, we find the EMUI by Huawei, which is instead a heavily customized Android version. The third spot is occupied by Smartisan OS by Smartisan, while the MIUI by Xiaomi takes the 4th place. Then we got Color OS by Oppo, the Samsung Experience found on Galaxy-series devices, Google Pixels’ UI, HTC’s Sense, Funtouch OS by Vivo and at last Nubia UI.

According to Master Lu Benchmark, the ranking has been created basing on desktop use, app usage, web content loading and sliding, photo viewing, file copying, boot-up speed and other operations. Obviously, it is impossible to evaluate every single scenario, so do not take this ranking as a comprehensive ranking. But we believe this ranking will be useful for many people to know that the SoC present inside a smartphone is not the only index of performance. Indeed, we often find several Android phones with midrange chipsets performing worse than low-end devices.
