Jul 25, 2018

The latest research by Kantar which covers the smartphone distribution in the major markets for the second quarter of the year is out. The report shows that Android is still the leading OS in the smartphone industry in terms of usage. The report also shows that Apple’s iOS has increased by almost 6 percent in its market shares. This can be attributed to the strong patronage in terms of sales the iPhone 8 and iPhone X have enjoyed in the US.

Kantar report also shows that Android has gained more ground in China and Great Britain but has lost a bit in Germany, France, Spain and the US if compared to Q2 of 2017. It shows that Andriod still retains 80.5% in Germany, 61% in the US, 64.5% in the UK and over 80% in Italy, Spain, and China. The Huawei P20 Pro performance in the UK this quarter has been marvellous, and this can also be an attribute of the boost of Android in the UK. If compared to last year report, Huawei’s UK market share boosted from 2.7% in Q2 of 2017 to 13.7% in Q2 of 2018. Also, Huawei is another major player in the Android’s OS share expansion in China as well.

The most interesting aspect of the report is the disclosure that iPhone X is the best-selling device in China in the quarter under review. This is despite it being several months since the device was launched in November 2017. The report equally shows that Apple is topping the chart, with 8 of its devices among the top 10 best-selling smartphones. Kantar credits this success to a large number of units of the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus sold. Apple also has devices of all ranges such as the low-end iPhone SE all the way to the more expensive iPhone X which helped out.

Exclusive: Google Pixel 3 XL casing gives us another peek at the design

Jul 25, 2018

Google is expected to unveil its third-gen Pixel series model within the second half of the year. The model has been a regular on renders and leaks with some details coming out along the line. We have now laid our hands on a set of CAD drawing of the protective casing for the Google Pixel 3 XL. The casing seems to have been designed in line with the renders of the Pixel 3 XL that is already in the open.

From the renders outed with the casing, it is reaffirmed that the Pixel 3 XL will have a notch display design at the from with a dual camera setup lying within the notched aspect. The leaked casing also reaffirms that the device will come with a single camera at the rear which is sort of a surprise as it deviates from the growing dual camera trend. The leaked casing shows the rear camera will be located at the top left corner while there will be a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor at the middle. The renders also include that of the front and it is still similar to the earlier one, that is a notch design with the notch housing dual camera sensors and the earpiece. The render also shows the device will have the front-facing stereo speaker located at the chin. While there are two cameras at the front, Google Pixel 3 XL will pack a single sensor at the back. The device also has a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor

It beats our imagination why Google would want to stick with a single rear camera sensor when the trend is dual sensors. We’d have expected a single sensor on the Pixel 3 and a dual camera setup on the Pixel 3XL but that may not be the case.

At the moment there are only two Snapdragon 710 powered smartphones in the market – they are the Xiaomi Mi 8 SE and the Vivo NEX A. There are others said to be in development too such as the Meizu X8, a mid-range Pixel phone scheduled for next year, and a Nokia phone codenamed “Phoenix”.

News of the Nokia Phoneix first surfaced in June in a tweet by the popular leaker, Roland Quandt. He also revealed that the device would be released in Autumn/Winter of this year which means we should expect it to launch between September to December. A new info has surfaced that corroborates Mr. Quandt’s leak.

Qualcomm Snapdragon 710 — HMD Global working on SD710 smartphone codenamed Nokia Phoenix

A Twitter user named Hikari Calyx (@Hikari_Calyx) disclosed in a series of tweets yesterday that FIH (Foxconn) is developing a new device with codename PNX. FIH is the manufacturer that handles the production of Nokia phones for HMD.

Apparently, there are two versions of the device – one with number 500001828 and the other with the number 500001829.

Found something in metadata.

— Hikari Calyx (@Hikari_Calyx) July 24, 2018

In a follow-up tweet, he also revealed he found something in the metadata which confirms it is a Nokia device. From the metadata info, it appears the Nokia Phoenix will be available in China (first). It will also come with Android 8.1 Oreo when it launches.

So far nothing is known about the design of the Nokia Phoenix and what its real name is. However, we do have a few guesses of our own. For starters, the Nokia Phoenix may be the Nokia X7 said to be in development.

Jul 25, 2018

Recently, the case renders of the upcoming Sony flagship Xperia XZ3 surfaced online which showed the phone’s new design. However, as suspected, the images were fake. Now, tipster Steve Hemmerstoffer (@OnLeaks) shared new 360-degree renders of Sony Xperia XZ3, revealing the new updated design.

The new renders of the smartphone revealed that the front will come with a tall full-screen display with 18:9 aspect ratio. While the phone has a taller display and thin bezels on the sides, the top and the bottom bezels are pretty big. On the bottom bezel, there’s Sony branding.

From the images, it seems that the phone will come with a single camera sensor on the back, along with an LED flash. Just below the camera module, there’s a circular fingerprint sensor for added security. On the right side, there’s a volume rocker and power button. There’s a USB port on the bottom and it seems that Sony has ditched the 3.5mm headphone jack.

The glass bodied smartphone has rounded corners, which seems like a welcome design change compared to the usual rectangular slab type design. The phone, which measures 158.3 x 73.08 x 9.9/10.1 mm, is expected to come with wireless charging support.

Previous leaks related to the smartphone revealed that the Sony Xperia XZ3 will come with a 5.7-inch Full HD+ display with 2160 x 1080 pixels screen resolution, just like its predecessor. Under the hood, it’ll be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor coupled with 6GB RAM.

The phone will be offered in two storage options — 64GB and 128GB and there’ll be a microSD card slot which will enable users to further expand the phone’s storage capacity. Contrary to the new information, the previous report suggested dual camera setup on the back, consisting of a 19MP primary sensor and a 12MP secondary sensor.

On the front side, the upcoming flagship smartphone from Sony will come equipped with a 13MP snapper with f/2.0 aperture for taking selfies and video calling. The device will be running Android 9.0 P operating system out-of-the-box and will be powered by 3,240mAh battery with Quick Charge fast charging support.

Sony has already confirmed a launch event at the upcoming IFA 2018 in Berlin and has already sent out media invites. While it has not confirmed the Xperia XZ3 launch at IFA, reports indicate that the XZ3 and XZ3 Compact will get unveiled at IFA 2018. The Sony Xperia XZ3 is speculated to carry a price tag of EUR 849, which is roughly $995.

The Meizu 16 and Meizu 16 Plus smartphones have surfaced on TENAA. Meizu Senior Vice President Li Nan has claimed that the images of the Meizu 16 duo have surfaced on TENAA are not good. Hence, he has shared the official renders of the Meizu 16 series through Weibo.

Various smartphone manufacturers from China have launched flagship phones with notched display design. However, Meizu is the only mainstream smartphone maker that it is yet to debut a phone with notched display. The TENAA images and official renders of the upcoming Meizu 16 and Meizu 16 Plus smartphones confirm that these phones will be arriving with notch-less screens with elongated aspect ratio. Also, both smartphones offer very impressive screen space thanks to the slim-sized bezels around their screens.

The official renders of Meizu 16 show that these phones will be sporting a very thin profile. The fingerprint scanner cannot be found on the front or rear sides of the Meizu 16 series. The reason behind it is that the Meizu has already confirmed that the Meizu 16 and 16 Plus will be equipped under display fingerprint scanner.

The TENAA images show that the Meizu 16 and Meizu 16 Plus have identical design. In fact, the Meizu 16 Plus appears like a larger edition of Meizu 16. The rear panel of the Meizu 16 series that is made out of glass feature vertical dual cameras followed by a ring flash. Their rear design is like Meizu 15 smartphone that was unveiled earlier this year.

The Meizu 16 measures 150.5 x 73.2 x 7.3mm and is equipped with a 6-inch display and 2,950mAh battery. On the other side, the Meizu 16 Plus measures 160.3 x 78.2 x 7.3mm and includes 6.5-inch display and 3,750mAh battery. The Snapdragon 710 is expected to power the Meizu 16 smartphone whereas the Snapdragon 845 will be powering the Meizu 16 Plus. Both phones are expected to arrive with up to 8 GB of RAM.

Qualcomm Adreno Turbo may be unveiled today to take on Huawei’s GPU Turbo

Jul 25, 2018

Huawei took the smartphone industry by surprise when it announced the GPU turbo technology which is a software enhancement to improve the GPU performance on its phones. The technology has started rolling out via updates to old models while new ones are getting launched with the software onboard. That may have rattled Qualcomm to action as the U.S fabless chipmaker seems to be prepping its own answer to Huawei’s GPU Turbo.

Qualcomm has teased the launch of a new product scheduled to hold on July 25. Apart from releasing a teaser poster, the company also released a teaser video on its Weibo page which invariable suggested whatever is coming will be on the software angle. However, it sill not clear what features the new software technology would pack. The video seems to suggest that the software will be on the Snapdragon 845 but we can’t say if it will be limited to its flagship processors or if less powerful SoCs from the Snapdragon 400 and 600 lines will also be compatible.

We must state that talks of an Adreno Turbo launch are mere speculations. The name Adreno Turbo seems to have been coined by Phonearena as the teaser poster and video only hinted that something faster, smoother, cooler, and smarter is on its way. But except the company will announce a new SoC, the best guess is a software to enhance performance will come. We’ll bring you details as they unravel.
