There is no information on the pricing of the Meizu Gravity. In December 2016, the speaker was crowdfunded on Indiegogo with a price tag of $169.

It seems that Indonesia will be receiving the Galaxy Note 9 in three color options in Indonesia such as Mystic Black, Engineered Blue and Artisan Copper. Through the promotional posters it has been also revealed that customers who pre-order the Note 9 will be receiving free Samsung TV. In other countries too, the South Korean company will offer some exciting pre-order gifts for the buyers of Note 9.

There is no information on the other specs of the Note 9 variant that will be landing in Indonesia.

Jul 30, 2018

Samsung is set to unleash the Galaxy Note 9 on August 9 when it scheduled to hold the Galaxy Unpacked event. The Korean company may, in reality, unpack not just the Galaxy Note 9 but a number of other products. A leaked render showing the Galaxy Note 9 in three colours also contained an earbud, smartwatch (likely the Gear S4) and a wireless charging dock. More importantly, the renders which were first featured by Android Headlines shows the front and rear design of the Samsung flagship Note series model.

The pictures above reaffirms rumours that the Galaxy Note 9 will have an appearance that is very similar to the Galaxy Note 8 from last year. Fresh renders of the Note 9 have surfaced today to reveal its front and rear design. The images shos the presence of dual curved edge screen with slim bezels at the top and bottom like the Galaxy Note 8. The rear design almost looks similar to the Note 8 except that the position of the fingerprint reader is different. In this case, the fingerprint scanner sits in an awkward position under the rear camera sensors and not beside it. The rear camera setup is a dual setup with the main sensor looking obviously bigger.

In addition, there is the presence of capacitive buttons for volume controls and power on the left side while the Bixby button is located on the left side of the display. The renders capture the Note 9 in three different colours; Black, Blue and Brown. We still await the arrival of the official photos of the device.

Jul 30, 2018

While the market is brimming with all sorts of wearables, Lenovo isn’t necessarily a brand that springs to mind when you think of hybrid smartwatches. With popular fashion brands such as Fossil and Garmin producing superior smartwatches, it should come as no surprise to see Lenovo make its foray into the wearable realm with the Watch X.

Touted as an advanced version of the Watch 9, the Watch X was announced earlier this year. More importantly, it boasts a broad range of awe-inspiring features that make it an irresistible hybrid smartwatch.

Honor Magicbook Touchscreen variant arrives with a competitive price tag

By

-

Jul 30, 2018

Honor’s first laptop the Magicbook was first unveiled in April this year. The company later announced a Sharp Ryzen edition sporting an AMD processor in May. Presently, a new touchscreen version has been added to the mix. The new Honor Magicbook touchscreen version is presently on reservation at Jingdong for an undisclosed price.

The touchscreen version comes with a screen resolution of 1920 x 1080pixels and is equipped with a 10-point touchscreen with full fit technology. Honor made the touchscreen version to be available for the Intel Core i5-powered Magicbook which has 8GB of RAM as well as 256GB of SSD. The touchscreen is also available for the variant powered by an AMD R5 2500U processor paired with 8GB of RAM and 256GB SSD. Even though the actual price tags weren’t disclosed, Honor teased during that the Core i5 variant would be priced at 5,?99. That means it will come in at less than 6000 yuan ($880). On the other hand, the AMD R5 2500U-powered variant will be sold for less than 5000 yuan (4?99 yuan). That is about the price of the non-touchscreen Core i5 variant. So you’ll agree the price tag is likely going to be competitive. Sales of both versions will commence on August 1 exclusively on Jingdong (JD.com) and already both versions have gotten over 240,000 reservations.

Other specifications are unchanged and to recap, the Honor Magicbook adopts a design which sees the side bezels slightly reduced, giving it an 81% screen-to-body ratio. The hinges also come with a spectacular design as the laptop can open up to 180 degrees. The MagicBook sports a metal body and has a full-size QWERTY keyboard. It is just 15.8mm thick and weighs 1.47kg which means it isn’t only portable but also lightweight. The laptop comes in three colour combination Glacier Silver, Starry Ash and Nebula Purple but this new version is available in Glacier Silver only.

In addition, it comes with four speakers and support for Dolby Sound System. There is also a built-in 2 x 2 MIMO dual-antenna Wi-Fi. Another spectacular thing is that it is equipped with a 57Wh battery which the company says can provide 12 hours of native 1080p video playback, 12 hours of web browsing, and 13 hours of document processing.

Galaxy Note 4 Explosion victim in China claiming 1.6million yuan (~$248k) in damages in court

By

-

Jul 29, 2018

Back in March 2017, it was reported how a four-year-old girl named Feng Yue suffered second degree burns to her face after her dad’s Samsung phone “exploded” next to her while she slept. The girl’s father claimed the Galaxy Note 4 smartphone he bought in August of the previous year from a retailer had an expanded battery which then exploded while being charged on the bedside table. Samsung’s China office reportedly offered the family £1,189 (10,000 RMB) to cover the girl’s medical bills. The last is yet to be heard of the incident as Feng Yue’s father has filed a civil suit against Samsung in the Xiqing District Court of Tianjin.

The lawsuit had as defendants Tianjin Samsung Communications Technology Co., battery maker Samsung Vision Limited and a distributor Guizhou Flerida Technology company as well as the third-party supplier from whom the ill-fated phone was purchased. The lawsuit seeks to get Samsung as well as the other three co-defendants to compensate the little Feng Yue for the disability caused by the incident. It also seeks to get the Korean tech giant and others to cover the cost of her treatment in its entirety. These are all summed up to about 1.6 million yuan (~$248,000).

Before now, Feng Lingling who is the father of the victim had tried to get Samsung to compensate her for the damages but Samsung had hinted that the battery which was inside the Galaxy Note 4 wasn’t manufactured by it. The Note 4 explosion was clearly traced to the battery. In this case, it may be a lengthy legal tussle for the family to get anything out of Samsung.

OxygenOS 5.1.4 update brings improved battery life to the OnePlus 5/5T via Sleep Standby Optimization

By

-

Jul 29, 2018

A new update is rolling out to the OnePlus 5 and OnePlus 5T. The update comes as OxygenOS 5.1.4 and is supposed to improve battery life. It also comes with July’s security patch.

OnePlus has added a toggle under setting called “Sleep Standby Optimisation”. When activated, it shuts down the network when you are asleep which should translate to a longer battery life but also means notifications won’t arrive on your device in time.

“The system intelligently identifies your sleep pattern based on the phone’s usage,” says OnePlus. Just before you wake up, network restrictions are canceled and then your notifications come in.

The toggle is located under battery optimizations under the battery settings menu. You have to tap the three dots at the corner to access Advanced optimization and then the toggle.

Leaked images of the OPPO R17 show a redesigned notch

By

-

Jul 29, 2018

This year, OPPO’s R15 series smartphones arrived earlier compared to the OPPO R11 and OPPO R11 Plus of last year. That means their successors should arrive early too. However, it appears OPPO won’t go with its usual tradition of adding an “S” to their names but will go for new names entirely. So instead of the OPPO R15s and R15s Plus, we may be getting the OPPO R17 and OPPO R17 Plus according to latest reports.

The name OPPO R17 was first spotted at a media event sponsored by OPPO and a few days later, an unknown OPPO device thought to be the R17 was seen at TENAA. Now live photos said to be that of the device have surfaced, giving us an early look at the phone.

[envira-gallery id=”203614″]

The first photo is of the front panel of the device. The bezels are thin and about the same size as that of the R15 duo but the major difference is the design of the notch. Instead of an iPhone-X style notch, the panel has a notch that looks like a small valley.

The second picture is of what we believe to be a working prototype. It shows the upper part of the phone with the display powered on. As you can see, the notch takes up a much smaller space and is home to the camera. We are sure there are other sensors hidden around too.

Honor 7X and two others will get GPU Turbo public beta on July 31

Jul 29, 2018

A few weeks ago, Huawei announced the release schedule for its GPU Turbo technology for supported devices. At the moment, the Huawei Mate P20, P20 Pro, Mate 10, and Mate 10 Pro have received a beta version of the feature. Come Tuesday, it will be the turn of the mid-range Honor 7x and two other devices.

The Honor 7X was released last year and comes with a Kirin 659 processor. It is one of Huawei’s more popular mid-range phones globally. When it receives the update that brings a beta version of the feature, it will be the first powered by a Kirin 659 SoC to do so.

The other two devices that will also get it alongside the Honor 7X are the Honor 9i and the Honor 9 Lite (Youth Edition). The Honor 9i mentioned above is the recently released one and not the Honor 9i (Maimang 6/Nova 2i) sold in India.

Motorola Moto Z3 likely to debut with 5G Moto Mod on August 2

By

Jul 29, 2018

Last year, Motorola had launched the Moto Z2 flagship phone and its stripped-down version Moto Z2 Play through the same unveil event. The Lenovo-owned firm did not unveil the Moto Z3 flagship phone when it had launched the Moto Z3 Play phone in the previous month. Hence, the rumor mill has been speculating that the company may announce Moto Z3 flagship phone at its forthcoming event that will be held on Aug. 2. Fresh information on the Moto Z3 smartphone have surfaced today.

It is now speculated that the upcoming Motorola flagship phone will be ditching the Force Edition branding and it won’t be featuring a shatterproof display. Last year, Motorola had sold the Moto Z2 Force Edition in the U.S. through all the major operators. However, the forthcoming Motorola flagship phone will be called Moto Z3. Since the company is said to have entered a fresh agreement with Verizon, the Moto Z3 will be exclusively available through the carrier in the U.S.

With Motorola Moto Z3 smartphone, the company is also expected to officially announce its 5G Moto Mod. Verizon is planning to start its 5G network later this year, it is only then the 5G Moto Mod can become useful. This means that Moto Z3 will become one of the first phones to support 5G network.

Along with Moto Z3 flagship smartphone, Motorola is also expected to introduce Moto C2 and Moto C2 Plus Android Go phones. Moreover, the Motorola One and One Power Android One phones may also get official on Aug. 2. As far as Moto Z3, it is rumored to be available for buying by late summer. There is no information on the specifications of the Moto Z3. However, it is likely to feature the Snapdragon 845 SoC and 6 GB of RAM.

Huawei Nova 3i vs Huawei P20 Lite: Specs Comparison

By

Jul 29, 2018

Huawei has introduced a new chipset this month and finally, there seems to be some progress in the company’s mid-range lineup. Huawei Nova 3i is the most important improvement of this year if we consider the mid-end sector, but is it worth spending a bit more to get this new handset instead of the older Huawei P20 Lite which was the main Huawei mid-ranger until its arrival? Let’s see it with a Huawei Nova 3i vs Huawei P20 Lite specs comparison.

Huawei Nova 3i vs Huawei P20 Lite

	Huawei Nova 3i	Huawei P20 Lite
DIMENSIONS AND WEIGHT	157.6 x 75.2 x 7.6 mm, 169 grams	148.6 x 71.2 x 7.4 mm, 145 grams
DISPLAY	6.3 inches, 1080 x 2340p (Full HD+), 409 ppi, 19.5:9 ratio, IPS LCD	5.84 inches, 1080 x 2280p (Full HD+), 432 ppi, 19:9 ratio, LTPS IPS LCD
PROCESSOR	Huawei HiSilicon Kirin 710, octa-core 2.2 GHz	Huawei HiSilicon Kirin 659, octa-core 2.36 GHz
MEMORY	4 GB RAM, 128 GB – 6 GB RAM, 64 GB, micro SD slot	4 GB RAM, 32 GB – 4 GB RAM, 64 GB – 4 GB RAM, 128 GB, micro SD slot
SOFTWARE	Android 8.1 Oreo, EMUI 8.2	Android 8.1 Oreo, EMUI 8.0
CONNECTIVITY	Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.2, GPS	Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.2, GPS
CAMERA	Dual 16 and 2 MP f/2.2 Dual 24 and 2 MP front camera	Dual 16 and 2 MP, f/2.2 16 or 24 MP f/2.0 front camera
BATTERY	3340 mAh	3000 mAh
ADDITIONAL FEATURES	Hybrid Dual SIM slot	Hybrid Dual SIM slot

Huawei Nova 3i vs Huawei P20 Lite: Design

First of all, there is a slight improvement in the design, even though Huawei Nova 3i is aesthetically similar to Huawei P20 Lite. The new handset has trimmed bezels compared with its predecessor, and it is also available in gradient hues, unlike the P20 Lite. Further, Huawei Nova 3i has a glass back, while the P20 Lite has a plastic back. For the rest, it is more or less the same, but Huawei Nova 3i is definitely more beautiful and well-made than its opponent.

Display

Both Huawei Nova 3i and Huawei P20 Lite have displays with a notch included, but the Nova 3i has a bigger 6.3-inch panel which may be very useful for people using the smartphone for productivity and multimedia. A 6.3-inch display is much more comfortable to use but it also results in a bigger phone. Indeed, the Nova 3i is bigger, heavier and even thicker than its opponent. Due to minimal differences in the viewing quality, I would surely pick the Nova 3i because of its bigger screen.

Huawei Nova 3i vs Huawei P20 Lite: Specs & Software

Under the hood, Huawei Nova 3i has more recent and powerful hardware than the P20 Lite. It has the new octa-core Kirin 710 chipset which is an improvement over the overused Kirin 659. So, it should provide evidently better performance. Further, it has more RAM in the most expensive configuration. There is no challenge under this point of view: Huawei Nova 3i wins.

Huawei Nova 3i vs Huawei P20 Lite: Camera

Even when it comes to the camera department, Huawei Nova 3i is better, but differences are marginal. With the dual rear camera having exactly the same specs, the only difference is represented by the front camera setup which consists of a dual selfie camera (with 24 and 2 MP resolutions) for the Nova 3i and a 16 or 24 MP single camera (depending on the market) for the P20 Lite. Huawei Nova 3i can shoot more interesting selfies by detecting depth info in a more accurate way.

Battery

Given its bigger dimensions, Huawei Nova 3i has a bigger battery, and this means a longer battery life. It has 340 mAh more capacity and it has even the GPU Turbo technology out of the box which can provide up to 30 percent more power efficiency. On the other hand, with a smaller battery on board, the Huawei P20 Lite should charge faster as both the devices feature a fast battery charging technology.

Huawei Nova 3i vs Huawei P20 Lite: Price

Huawei Nova 3i has just been launched, so it is still available at a pretty expensive price. You can currently get it for €350 which roughly translates into about $407. Huawei P20 Lite is currently way cheaper and it can be found at less than €278 thanks to online street prices, which roughly translates into $323. Huawei Nova 3i is obviously the winner of the comparison thanks to its more beautiful design, its more advanced hardware, and its bigger battery. But in the actual situation, we suggest you go for the P20 Lite due to its more affordable price tag. If it is not urgent for you to get a new handset, then wait a month or so for the price of the Nova 3i to drop, and it will be worth getting it.

For persons who are always on the move or are domiciled in an area where the power supply isn’t efficient, Solar chargers are gradually becoming an important product. Not only do they provide extra power for your compatible gadgets, they can be refuelled simply by direct sunlight. One snag has been the bulky nature of the power banks especially since the solar panels are usually flat. However, a new solar charger has just been launched on Kickstarter which addresses the issue of portability. The device is dubbed SOUL Solar scroll and as the name suggests, the solar panel can be rolled up like a scroll.

SOUL Solar scroll features a military grade rollable solar panel with an integrated battery to charge your devices on the go. The gadget is equipped with the most advanced, durable and flexible panel that is built to last. It is also lightweight despite packing a 5200mAh battery, weighing just 300g. The gadget is also equipped 5V/2A output which can deliver quick charger to your gadgets. The solar charger can deliver charge to more than one device all day long.

The solar charger has a single output point. Also, you can charge the battery using the solar panel or through a 1A adapter. It takes between 4-6 hours to achieve full charger using the solar panel but the AC adapter delivers full charger for the power bank’s battery in just 2-3 hours. The device also comes with a multi-color LED indicator that changes colour at 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% full charge.

The device is presently available for funding on Kickstarter for $100 and the funding has since gone past the minimum numbers of backers that are needed for the project to proceed. The device is estimated to start shipping in November and delivery is worldwide.

Xiaomi POCOPHONE F1 Bluetooth certification reveals camera specs

Xiaomi has a new flagship smartphone in development. Unlike its other phones which launch under the Redmi or Mi brand, this upcoming device will launch under a new brand called POCOPHONE. The device is called the POCOPHONE F1 and it has gotten its Bluetooth certification.

The Bluetooth certification page which confirms the phone’s model number as M1805E10A and its processor as the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor with a liquid cooling system also reveals some important details about its cameras.

According to the description, the POCOPHONE F1 has a 12MP + 5MP dual camera setup on its rear. The primary sensor has a 1.4µm large pixel size and dual pixel autofocus. This camera configuration is lower than that of the Mi 8 which has 12MP + 12MP dual cameras.

For the front camera, the POCOPHONE F1 will have a 20MP sensor along with a technology called SuperPixel. SuperPixel combines details from four different pixels into a single large one. The result is supposed to be a picture with less noise, more light, and an overall better quality. It also mentions being great in low-light conditions.

Another info mentioned in the description is that the phone has an infrared illuminator and an infrared camera for face unlock. This is the same unlock mechanism on the Mi 8, so it will work the same way. With the infrared illuminator and infrared scanner, you will be able to unlock your phone in the dark just as you do in broad daylight.

A leaked hands-on video already confirmed the phone will have a notch. The notch will house the camera and the IR setup for face unlock as well as other sensors and most probably a notification LED. The certification page also confirms the POCOPHONE is running MIUI 10 and not MIUI 9 like the version that was submitted at the FCC.

FCC documents have revealed the POCOPOPHONE will come with 6GB of RAM and 64GB/128GB of storage. It is also expected to be one of the cheapest Snapdragon 845 phones in the market according to leaker Roland Quandt.

Earlier this week, he revealed the pricing in Eastern Europe is put at €420 (~$490) for the 64GB model and €460 (~$537) for the 128GB version. Compare that to the OnePlus 6 (6GB + 64GB) that sells for €519 (~$605). However, that isn’t the cheapest price for the POCOPHONE F1.

So. Pocophone F1 might be even cheaper than I said before. Eastern EU dealer has it for less than 390 Euro – which sounds insane, if it really is using an SDM845.
