One of the highlights of the Huawei P20 Pro is its camera performance. Huawei has not only worked hard on the hardware part but also put in a lot of work in the software department.

One software feature of the P20 Pro is its ability to take long exposure shots without the need for a tripod. Usually, you need a tripod to take a long exposure shot because if your hands shake while taking one, the photo comes out blurry.

Using AI image stabilization (AIS), Huawei lets owners of the P20 Pro take long exposure photos without the need for a tripod. The good news is that the feature will also be coming to the Mate 10 series via an update.

The Huawei Mate 10 and Mate 10 Pro both use the same Kirin 970 processor in the P20 Pro. They also have Leica optics. The update will begin rolling out on May 31. So if you own a Mate 10/Mate 10 Pro, you should check for the update. We’ll appreciate it if you share your opinion about the new feature with us.

Meizu M6T Hands On Pictures: A Sleek Design To The Rescue

May 30, 2018

Meizu once again deserves some accolades for crafting another beautifully designed smartphone in the M6T. Meizu M6T was launched on Tuesday (May 29) with a price tag of less than 1000 yuan. The price starts at 799 Yuan ($125) while the topmost variant with 4GB + 64GB storage costs just 1099 Yuan ($171).

The Meizu M6T comes with a MediaTek MT6750 chipset onboard which might be disappointing to some but the design compensates for the seemingly poor chipset. The device comes with a 5.7-inch LTPS Full-view display with a 2.5D curved glass on top. The display has an HD+ resolution of 1440 x 720p and the device adopts the 18:9 aspect ratio. There is no physical mBack button under the display but the device features the Super mBack button first used on the M6S. The device is available in 3+32GB, 4+32GB and 4+64GB versions, all expandable up to 128GB via microSD. The device has a dimension of 152.3×73.8.4mm and weighs 145g.

The M6T is basically a budget device but the finishing looks quite premium. The back cover is made of polycarbonate material which is available in Black, Champagne Gold, Gold, and Coral Red. The rear design includes a dual camera setup with the sensors arranged vertically at the middle. The rear camera is a 13MP + 2MP IMX278 RGBW setup which is touted to be good for bokeh portraits. On the other hand, the front camera is an 8MP f/2.0 shooter with ArcSoft beauty algorithms for decent portraits.

The Meizu M6T is fuelled by a 3300mAh battery with 5V 1.5A charging, which isn’t exactly fast charge, but decent enough for a budget device. Other features include an infrared sensor, Android 7.1-based Flyme 6, Bluetooth 4.1, Wi-Fi n, and support for TDD-LTE B34/B38/B39/B40/B41, and FDD-LTE B1/B3/B8. Check out more hands-on pictures of the Coral Red and Black variants of the Meizu M6T from below.

Xiaomi Releases A Video For Its 8th-year Anniversary Teasing the Products In Its Arsenal

May 29, 2018

Last year Xiaomi celebrated its seventh year anniversary in a grand style with all the seven founders coming together to reminisce about the successful journey. This year’s 8th-anniversary celebration promises to be even bigger. Indeed the last one year has been a successful one for the Chinese tech giant who emerged among the top 5 global smartphone vendors in terms of market shares. Xiaomi will be rolling out the drums in a much-anticipated ceremony holding on May 31 in Shenzhen, China where a number of products will be launched.

Xiaomi released a teaser video on Tuesday which captures the company’s journey as far as products launched are concerned. The video takes us through a slide, revealing products like the 90 Minutes suitcase, LED bulb, smart lock, refrigerator, camera, bread toaster, and even what looks like the electric wine opener. The video at the tail end teases the Mi 8 annual flagship which would be dropping in two days time.

The Mi 8 has been pretty regular in leaks and teasers so the design and features are almost in the open. The device is expected to pack a 6.2-inch screen with a notch, Snapdragon 845 chipset, up to 8GB of RAM, dual 20MP f/1.7 and 16MP f/2.0 camera, front-facing 16MP f/2.0 camera, a 3,300mAh battery, its own Face ID and its own animoji. We find it curious that the video refers to the Mi 8 as Xiaomi’s annual flagship. This props up the suggestion that the Mi 8 SE may be launched as the special anniversary edition. The Mi 8 SE is expected to come with a Snapdragon 710 chipset which means it isn’t a flagship.

Xiaomi Mi 8 SE To Pack Snapdragon 710 SoC And AI Dual Cameras

Xiaomi is all set to launch its flagship smartphone Xiaomi Mi 8 at a launch event in China on 31st May. Along with Mi 8, the company is also set to launch its next-gen OS MIUI 10 as well as fitness tracker Mi Band 3. Further, reports indicate that Xiaomi will also launch Mi 8 SE, the lower-end variant of its upcoming flagship smartphone.

Now, an image of the Mi 8 SE’s key features has surfaced online through Weibo. It reveals that the smartphone will be powered by Qualcomm‘s recently announced Snapdragon 710 AIE processor. If this turns out to be true, then the Mi 8 SE will be the first smartphone to be powered by Snapdragon 710 SoC.

The newly launched Snapdragon 710 mobile platform is a 10nm chipset that includes two cores of Kryo 360 Cortex A75 that clocks at 2.2 GHz and six cores of Kryo 360 Cortex A55 that offers a processing speed of 1.7 GHz. The octa-core processor is coupled with Adreno 616 graphics that promises 35 percent better rendering of graphics.

The leaked image also suggests that the Mi 8 SE will come equipped with AI-powered dual cameras at the back with 1.4μm pixel size and a 20-megapixel front-facing camera with selfie light.

The flagship Mi 8 is expected to come with an under-display fingerprint sensor. But given that the Mi 8 SE seems like a low-cost variant of the Mi 8, we expect the smartphone to come with the traditional fingerprint sensor at the back of the phone instead of the in-display sensor. It is also unclear if the smartphone will come with Face Unlock feature or not.

The leaked image hints at a notched display on the Mi 8 SE, similar to the one that is expected for the company’s flagship smartphone. The previous report indicates that the Mi 8 SE could come in storage editions — 64GB, 128GB, and 256GB with all the three models packing 6GB of RAM.

The Xiaomi Mi 8 is rumored to become the first Android smartphone with 3D facial recognition feature. The smartphone is expected to come with a 6.2-inch notched enabled OLED display, up to 6 GB of RAM, and 64 GB of internal storage. Powered by 3,300mAh battery, the device is expected to be available in Grey, Gold, Blue, and Red colors.

Nokia 5.1 and Nokia 3.1 Are Official:18:9 Displays, MediaTek SoCs, and Android One Branding

May 29, 2018

The Nokia 3 and Nokia 5 also got new versions at the Nokia Moscow event. Both phones which will go buy the Nokia 3.1 and Nokia 5.1 monikers come with 18:9 displays.

Nokia 3.1

The Nokia 3.1 comes with a bigger 5.2-inch screen but is just a tad taller than its predecessor thanks to its reduced bezel and 18:9 display screen ratio. The device should be smaller but the lower bezel doesn’t seem to have been cut at all.

The 5.2-inch screen has a 1440 x 720 resolution and is covered with Gorilla Glass. There is a MediaTek MT6750N processor clocked at 1.5GHz under the hood. It is paired with 2GB/3GB of RAM and 16GB/32GB of expandable storage.

The Nokia 3.1 has a 13MP f/2.0 rear camera and an 8MP f/2.0 front-facing camera with an 84.6° field of view. For connectivity, there is Bluetooth 5.0, dual-band Wi-Fi, GPS, a USB-C port, and a 3.5mm audio jack. The phone also comes with a 2990mAh battery.

Unlike the first-gen Nokia 3, the Nokia 3.1 launches under the Android One program. This shouldn’t be surprising as HMD Global already announced following the launch of the Nokia 8 Sirocco that future Nokia phones will be Android One phones.

The Nokia 3.1 will come in Blue Copper, Black Chrome, and White Iron. It will sell for €139 and €169 for the 2GB and 3GB variants respectively and goes on sale this month.

Nokia 5.1

The Nokia 5.1 comes with a 5.5-inch screen with a Full HD+ resolution. It measures 151.1 x 70.73 x 8.27 mm making it just a tiny bit taller than the first-gen model.

Powering the Nokia 5.1 is a MediaTek MT6755S octa-core processor clocked at 2.0GHz. Depending on the model, you either get 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage or 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. There is storage expansion available.

A 16MP sensor with PDAF sits at the back of the device and an 8MP camera is positioned above the display. The new aspect ratio has resulted in Nokia moving the fingerprint scanner to the back of the device. It now sits below the camera setup.

The Nokia 5.1 has a 3000mAh battery, a USB-C port, and a single speaker. It also runs the latest version of Android Oreo out of the box. Just like the Nokia 2.1 and Nokia 3.1, the Nokia 5.1 is also an Android One phone.

It will be available in Copper, Tempered Blue, and Black. It will go on sale in July for €189 and €219 for the 2GB RAM and 3GB RAM versions respectively.

Xiaomi Mi 6X Will Get A New Variant Tomorrow; Likely A Cheaper Version

By

-

May 29, 2018

Xiaomi went official with the Mi 6X in China on April 25 and the device has been on sale since then. While we await the global launch of the device which is believed to adopt the name Mi A2, the tech giant has announced that a new variant will be joining the fray tomorrow (April 30).

The Mi 6X launch was a no holds barred launch so we don’t expect to see a variant with a new design or different hardware. The poster shows that the device still packs a Snapdragon 660 AIE chipset as well as a 20MP selfie camera plus a 20MP main sensor at the rear. However, the new variant is suspected to be a new storage variant. The Mi 6X was announced with three variants 4GB+64GB, 6GB+64GB, and 6GB+128GB. Now, the new variant is likely a 4GB RAM + 32GB storage version with the attendant lower price tag.

This looks like the best possible scenario and it is backed by the TENAA listing of the Mi 6X which had a 4GB + 32GB version alongside the other memory versions. It could as well be a new colour variant but the Mi 6X is already available in an array of colours including favourites like red, pink, gold and black. We’ll bring you details about the new variant when it is announced.

HMD Launches Nokia 2.1 With A Bigger Screen, Stereo Speakers & A Better Design

May 29, 2018

The first of the new Nokia phones from HMD Global is the Nokia 2.1 or Nokia 2 (2018). The new Nokia 2.1 moves from being a regular device to joining the Nokia 1 as an Android Go phone.

The phone has gotten a redesign and now looks more premium. Just like the Nokia 6.1, the Nokia 2.1 has that copper colored metal line that runs around the frame of the phone.

Nokia 2.1 Specs

The Nokia 2.1 comes with a larger 5.5-inch screen but keeps the resolution at 720p. Above and beneath the display are front-facing stereo speakers for an impressive audio experience. The display is covered with an anti-fingerprint coating.

The Snapdragon 212 processor has been replaced with the Snapdragon 425 but RAM and storage remain 1GB and 8GB respectively. However, storage can be expanded by up to an additional 128GB via a dedicated MicroSD card slot.

[envira-gallery id=”193682″]

The cameras have also remained unchanged. There is an 8MP sensor on the rear and a 5MP fixed focus sensor up in front. The phone has WiFi, GPS, and a 3.5mm audio jack. It also packs a 4000mAh battery which Nokia says should last up to 2 days. The Micro USB port has also been replaced with a USB-C port.

Check Out The Google Pixel 3 & Pixel 3 XL Renders Based on Leaked Details

May 29, 2018

Google is obviously working on the next-gen Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL. Both models are expected to launch in a couple of months from now but we recently spotted the tempered glass screen for both the Pixel 3 and 3 XL. This is in addition to a few renders of the models which were created by fans. Phonearena has now joined the fray of creators of Pixel3 and Pixel 3 XL renders with its ten cents. The U.S blog issued a disclaimer that the renders were “based on preliminary information about the respective device(s), such as, but not limited to, factory CAD blueprints and live photos of the device(s), or accessories thereof. As such, the images found herein may not be fully representative of the final design of the device(s) “.

Now, lets closely analyse the renders which only capture the front designs of both models. The design seems to have been crafted from the leaked tempered glass protectors which hinted at where the sensors and front camera will be located. If we are to go by these designs, it means the Pixel 3 XL will feature a notch on its display, while the smaller model will have proper top and bottom bezels but trimmed down when compared with that of the Pixel 2.

The models are also going to pack front stereo speakers if the renders are to be believed. Unfortunately, we still can’t tell if the Pixel 3 or Pixel 3 XL will finally join the dual camera trend sweeping through the industry since the rear design is still unknown. However, the Pixel 3 and 3 XL renders seem to suggest the presence of dual selfie shooters. Since the renders are based on the tempered glass protector which leaked on China’s Weibo, it could as well be fake. So, take this with a pinch of salt.

Are you looking for a high-end or a flagship phone but don’t have enough money to get the most expensive ones? Then the OnePlus 6 and the Huawei Honor 10 could be your perfect match. They boast flagship-level components even though their price is way lower than Samsung Galaxy S9, iPhone X and all the known top-end smartphones of 2018. In some countries such as India there isn’t even a big difference between the prices of these two handsets, so we decided to post a comparison which can potentially help you in the choice.

Who will win between OnePlus 6 vs Honor 10? Keep reading to find out.

OnePlus 6 vs Huawei Honor 10

	OnePlus 6	Huawei Honor 10
DIMENSIONS AND WEIGHT	155.7 x 75.4 x 7.8 mm, 177 g	149.6 x 71.2 x 7.7 mm, 153 g
DISPLAY	6.28 inches, 1080 x 2280p (Full HD+), 19:9 ratio, Optic AMOLED	5.84 inches, 1080 x 2280p (Full HD+), 19:9 ratio, IPS LCD

BATTERY	3300 mAh, fast charging 5V / 4A (Dash Charge)	3400 mAh, fast charging 5V / 4.5A
ADDITIONAL FEATURES	Dual SIM slot	Dual SIM slot

Design

Aesthetics have always been the strong point of Honor flagships and this doesn’t change with the Honor 10. It comes with a stunning reflective glass back which is also available in gradient colors. OnePlus 6 has a glass back as well and it is very elegant, but it is not as attractive and unique as the one of Honor 10. But on the other hand, note that OP6 has some sort of protection which makes it splash resistant, so we can define it as a flagship with a better build quality. If we had to choose a device by basing on the aesthetics, we would pick Honor 10 for its original design and its smaller dimensions.

Display

OnePlus 6 definitely has a more interesting display than its opponent. It sports an Optic AMOLED panel with sRGB and DCI-P3 support, with a higher size (6.28 inches) and also Gorilla Glass 5 protection. This display is able to show stunning color and very deep blacks. Honor 10 has just a classic IPS FHD+ display and there is nothing special in terms of viewing quality. So we prefer OnePlus 6 for multimedia and viewing quality.

Hardware/Software

We still didn’t have the chance to test it thoroughly, but we believe that OnePlus 6 will not only provide better performance than the Honor 10, but it will also be one of the fastest and smoothest smartphones in the market. It comes with a higher-end SoC and up to 8 GB RAM and, even though Honor 10 has flagship-level components too, there should be a noticeable difference in performance, at least in the most demanding scenarios such as gaming and multi-tasking. Thanks to EMUI, Honor 10 has more features on the software side and it is more comfortable to use. But OnePlus 6 wins when it comes to hardware and performance.

Camera

Both OnePlus and Huawei made huge steps forward at improving the cameras of its flagships. These handsets can capture stunning photos and awesome videos, with a high level of detail even in less suitable conditions. We are going to prefer OnePlus 6 as it sports OIS and it can record 4K videos at 60 fps, but Honor 10 remains an amazing camera phone for both normal photos and selfies thanks to its 24 MP front snapper.

Battery

OnePlus 6 and Honor 10 have a 3300 mAh and a 3400 mAh battery, respectively. Both the batteries can last one day of normal use and the difference in battery life between them is not very noticeable. Both are well-optimized, but due to its AMOLED display, OnePlus 6 should last a bit more in several scenarios.

Price

Prices depend on the region. There are zones in which OnePlus 6 is much more expensive than Honor 10 and zones such as India where there is just a $20 difference (Rs. 32999). In the global market, Honor 10 has been launched for just €399/$467, while OnePlus 6 starts from €519/$529 (Rs. 34999 in India). OnePlus 6 wins the battle, so we would get it if we find these two handsets at around the same price like in India, but Honor 10 has a higher value for money in the global market.

Which one would you pick?

OnePlus 6 vs Huawei Honor 10: PRO and CONS

PRO

Better display
Higher performance
Splash resistant
Great camera

CONS

No micro SD

Huawei Honor 10

May 29, 2018

Xiaomi has got you covered if you are looking for affordable but quality gadgets that would make life easy. The tech giant not only provides the essentials at cheap price tags, it takes care of products that are ordinarily overlooked. Take a look at the electric wine bottle opener that has just been launched under its crowdfunding platform. The product brings ease to the job of removing the cork which covers a wine bottle. It uses an electric motor powered by a built-in 550mAh battery and it costs just 99 yuan (~$15).

Red wine is widely consumed all over the world and has been around since time immemorial. Majority of wines are consumed in Europe and South Amerca which makes this a product that would sell well outside China. It replaces the traditional wine opener which is mechanical in function. The new electric wine bottle opener does its job in just 6 seconds which is super fast.

In terms of appearance, the Xiaomi Wine Bottle Opener has an all-black stainless steel body with a matte surface. There are two buttons on the side which are for drilling and bringing out the drill. It takes a conical shape with a hollow bottom which houses the drill. The hollow bottom has a red and blue light which flickers as the wine opener is in operation. Internally, the electric wine bottle opener uses an aviation-grade permanent magnet motor with special gears and bronze alloy bearings. The high-speed rotation achieves a 6-second open bottle speed, and the noise is lower than 60 decibels. It adopts an ultra-long battery life design fuelled by a 550mAh lithium battery. Under full power, it can open more than 70 bottles in a row at a time and the battery is a rechargeable cell. It also has a special custom fast charging function in which a 5-minute charge can open 10 bottles of red wine in case there is an urgent need. For first time use, it takes 3 hours to achieve full charge but subsequently, that is shortened to 2.5 hours.

Xiaomi Electric Wine Bottle Opener is available on the Youpin crowdfunding platform for funding. It costs just 99 yuan which translates to roughly $15. The device will start shipping from July 10.

Meizu VP Li Nan Reveals Blue Charm Division Has Sold Over 50 Million Smartphones Since Inception

By

May 29, 2018

Meizu may not be one of the top-selling smartphone manufacturers in the world but it will be naive not to admit that their products keep other manufacturers on their toes.

Today, the Chinese-based company released a new device – the Meizu M6T, bringing the total number of its phones to 22 (under Blue Charm) since it began making phones. At the event which took place in Beijing, Meizu’s VP Li Nan announced that the Blue Charm division has sold over 50 million phones to date.

That is no doubt a small figure beside that of rival Xiaomi’s Redmi. The low figure is partly attributed to Meizu’s refusal to expand to other markets. However, things may change soon as the company restructured its leadership on May 15.

Li Nan is now a senior vice-president and the chief strategy officer while Yang Hao heads the marketing department and takes on the title of CMO. Both of them will report to CEO and Chairman Huang Zhang.
