Ever since Xiaomi made the announcement that the Mi Pad 4 will be launched on June 25, the airwaves have been buzzing with several details of the fourth-generation Mi tablet. The Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 real design may have been spotted in a couple of leaked images which GSMArena describes as advertising images.

The images unmask the Mi Pad 4 front and rear design and there seems to be a change in the design. Noticeably, the front bezels look like what has been trimmed when compared to those of the Mi Pad, Pad 2 and Pad 3. The bezels obviously look thinner on the top and bottom side and the company seems to have removed the front Mi branding. While at the back, the Mi logo is still at the bottom part. Xiaomi still retains the camera position but the sensor looks bigger than those of the Pad 2 and 3. We can also see the 3.5mm audio jack at the upper edge.

[envira-gallery slug="xiaomi-mi-pad-4"]

The Mi Pad 4 is expected to feature an 8-inch display on top a 16:10 aspect ratio. The device has been confirmed to feature a Snapdragon 660 chipset paired with 4GB of RAM on one variant. There is likely a 3GB variant as well. Xiaomi recently teased the presence of facial recognition feature for unlocking the tablet. As far as the camera goes, it is going to be a 13MP rear and 5MP front camera affair while the device will be fuelled by a 6000mAh battery. The pricing of the Pad 4 also leaked recently, suggesting there will be a 4G and Wi-Fi variant.

Samsung’s Dual-Screen Bezel-less Phone Patent Could Be The Future of “The Galaxy”

Jun 22, 2018

Global smartphone market leader Samsung has always been at the forefront of innovative designs. The company is well positioned to lead the race to be the first to release a foldable phone. While we wait for that, a new Samsung patent has now emerged, giving us an idea of where future designs of the Galaxy series may be headed.

The patented design is that of a phone with a second display fixed on the back. The design includes a bezel-less full-screen display coupled with the smaller secondary screen at the back. The secondary display may not be different from that of the Meizu Pro 7, and LG V20 but it sure looks bigger. We also saw the dual display design on the Yotaphone models but the second screen is an e-ink display.

Questions have been asked severally about the relevance of a secondary display on a phone. But then, the design may even not be for an upcoming smartphone but could be for a technology that may find its way into a future phone. The technology sometimes ends up not being utilised. In this case, it was stated that ‘the broken lines shown in the drawings don’t form any part of the claimed design. That means the purported secondary display isn’t part of the patent.

Despite the ultra-thin bezels, the front design is void of a front camera and iris scanner. The only features seemingly depicted in the sketches are an earpiece and what looks like a proximity sensor sitting next to it on the top bezel. But then, this isn’t likely the complete design of a phone Samsung will release. The focus which is the straight lines seems to be on the bezel-less display. We could see Samsung go further with reducing the bezels on future Galaxy series flagship which seems to be the only direction to go presently.

Samsung was among the first OEMs to utilize the Android operating system after it was unveiled by Google. The company ever since it embraced Android, have always shipped it with a customised UI which was initially known as TouchWiz but now goes by the name Samsung Experience. But right now, there are reports that the company is working on bringing stock Android to its low-end models.

The stock Android is said to come under Google’s Android Go program and the tech giant is reportedly testing an entry-level device in several countries. The device is said to come with the model number SM-J260 and is powered by an unnamed processor that goes by the codenamed Universal7570_Go. The processor could be the Exynos 7570 or a modified version. The entry-level model also packs 1GB of RAM.

The detail specified that the SM-J260 was seen with three different substrates; SM-J260F, SM-J260M and SM-J260G. The model SM-J260F is currently being tested in the UK, Uzbekistan, Caucasus Countries, Germany, Italy, Ukraine, Russia, Kazakhstan, France, and Poland, while the model number SM-J260M has been spotted in Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Trinidad and Tobago, Peru, Panada, and Paraguay. In addition, the Asian market is not left out as the SM-J260G is reportedly being tested in India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Cambodia, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, and Vietnam.

There is no official word about the launch of an Android Go phone from the company but Samsung has been making move to exhibit its presence in the low-end segment of the market. Its effort with the Tizen-powered Z-series has been anything but successful. This could be the company’s game-changer in that regard.

Google’s $550 Million Investment In Jingdong Could See Its Hardware Products Selling On JD.com

Jun 22, 2018

Google was reported recently to have made a $550 million investment in China’s e-commerce giant JingdongMall also known as JD. The investment will see Google getting 27.1 million newly issued JD.com Class A ordinary shares at an issue price of $20.29 per share which represents a less than 1 percent stake in the company. It was also disclosed that the investment is one piece of a broader partnership which looks to be broader than what we thought. It was revealed that the partnership will include the promotion of JD.com products on Google’s shopping service. More details have now emerged that the partnership will also see Google selling its products on JD.com.

This could be a mutually beneficial relationship with Google likely to benefit the most since China is one of the largest markets due to its boisterous economy couple with a large young population. Google and JD have reportedly discussed selling Google’s popular A.I.-enabled Google Home speakers in the region via JD.com.

Google Home Speaker comes with Google’s own smart AI assistant which is programmed in English. There is no history of a Chinese version but if the story turns out to be true, it means Google may have been working on a Chinese version. We can’t verify the authenticity of this news as Google has made several efforts to enter China in the past which were unsuccessful due to the company’s stance on a free and open internet. When it finally goes on sale, the Google Home speaker will have a host of Chinese-manufactured Smart speakers to contend with, including that of Xiaomi. But the sales will further deepen Google’s foothold in the region, following years of failed attempts to establish one.

Blackberry has updated its DTEK security app with a refreshed UI and a couple of new features. The DTEK app was ushered in at the same time the company began its Android journey by launching the first Android-powered Blackberry phone – the Blackberry Priv.

The DTEK app brings additional security to your smartphone by measuring how secure your BlackBerry handset is in terms of the passwords you’re using. The app also alerts users of the apps that have access to the phone’s camera, microphone, location, and personal information. DTEK security app will equally let you know where your phone’s weakest link is and suggests measures that will fortify the security of the phone.

The new update comes with a new user interface that looks somewhat like a refresh of the former UI. Other new features which accompany the new update includes;

New home screen prioritizes the most important information, so you can quickly identify and address important issues.
Automatic weekly scan.
Manual scan option.
Classify permissions as containing more sensitive information. DTEK defaults to have Camera, Mic, and Phone as sensitive.
Instant notifications when apps access your sensitive permissions while not in active use.

For those who own Android-powered Blackberry phones, you can check if the update is available for your model by opening the Google Play Store app and tapping the hamburger menu on the left side of the search bar. From there, tap on My apps & games and look for a pending update for DTEK by BlackBerry. You’ll then need to tap on “Update” if the update button is available.

The specific variant released in this color is the one with the in-display fingerprint reader, and it carries a price tag of 3600 Yuan in Taiwan, which roughly translates into $554. The device retains the same design and the same specs sheet of the other color variants already in the market, even though it may look way more attractive for some people.

Vivo X21 features a shiny glass back and an aluminum frame, as well as a notched display with a very high screen-to-body ratio. The screen has a size of 6.28 inches and it shows images at a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2280 pixels.

The company has already confirmed the devices which will get the GPU Turbo technology. Besides Honor Play and Honor 10, there will be Huawei Mate 10 and Honor V10, which will get GPU Turbo by the end of June.

TSMC To Soon Start Mass Producing Qualcomm Snapdragon 7nm Chipsets

Jun 22, 2018

There are rumours making rounds since last year that Qualcomm has decided to ditch Samsung for its next-generation Snapdragon processor and is instead picking up TSMC to produce the upcoming Snapdragon flagship chipset.

Now, new report citing industry sources indicates that Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Ltd. (TSMC) is likely to win a major contract from Qualcomm to mass produce its upcoming chipset using the 7nm FinFET manufacturing process. The company is expected to land a new order by the end of this year or early next year.

Qualcomm and TSMC have been parters for a long time, before Qualcomm decided to work with Samsung for the mass production of chipsets based on 14nm and 10nm manufacturing process. The Taiwan-based company had manufactured Snapdragon 808 and Snapdragon 810 chipsets. The latest developments suggest that Qualcomm has now decided to go back to its initial contract manufacturer.

Both Samsung and TSMC have made significant investments to develop and perfect the 7nm manufacturing process. However, it looks like the Taiwanese firm has got an edge as the semiconductor foundry is said to deliver 7nm chips as soon as 2018. By the end of this year, TSMC might start manufacturing the Snapdragon 855 SoC, and an unspecified modem chip.

Last month, it was reported that TSMC has started mass producing the next-generation Apple A12 chipset which will be used in the upcoming iPhones that are slated to launch later this year. The A12 chipset is also said to be manufactured using the 7-nanometer design process. Huawei is also reportedly ready to begin mass production of the Kirin 980 using the 7nm chipset, which will also be manufactured by TSMC.
