The 8GB RAM variant is gradually becoming a trend, especially among flagship models, but we have also seen it on some mid-range phones. The 8GB DDR4LX flash memory is just enough to meet the needs of users including heavy gamers. The Vivo X23 is expected to succeed the X21 which was launched earlier this year and so, is positioned as a premium mid-ranger. The device is expected to be different from its predecessor in many aspects, including the screen which has been spotted with a valley-style notch and with a screen ratio of up to 91.2%. The device is also expected to come with the on-screen fingerprint technology. A recent teaser by Vivo revealed the presence of a Red/violet gradient colour scheme on one of the models.

In other aspects, the Vivo X23 is expected to pack a 6.4-inch AMOLED screen. The handset may either feature Snapdragon 670 or Snapdragon 710 SoC along with the 8 GB of RAM which is now confirmed. We expect other memory versions to be launched as well. In addition, the X23 is also expected to carry support for 3D facial scanning through TOF 3D depth camera technology.

Aug 21, 2018

Android Pie has been made official just a couple of weeks ago and it is only available on smartphones from the Google Pixel line-up and the Essential Phone PH-1. But Huawei will soon bring the new major version of the operating system on its devices. According to a company’s official, the new custom user interface EMUI 9.0 based on Android Pie will be officially announced at IFA 2018 in Berlin, one of the most important hi-tech related trade shows of the year which will take place on August 31.

The company has also confirmed that the first updates to the new version will start to roll out right after the announcement. We don’t know if the company will start updating its handset from the day after, but surely the update will start coming in September. If so, Huawei will be among the first companies to update its main handsets to Android Pie. The first smartphones to receive the update will be the ones from the Huawei P20 series. Together with them, the Mate 10 series (including the RS Porsche Design edition) will receive the update notification as well, but it is not said that it will roll out at the same time.

It is speculated that the Mate 9 series may join too. There is no official confirmation regarding all the other devices from the Chinese company. But we presume that some of the most important flagships from the Honor sub-brand will be updated as well, such as Honor 10 and V10. Just to remind you, it has been previously confirmed that the company is working on testing the update even for these two devices. EMUI 9.0 based on Android Pie will surely bring several improvements, just like every major Android version. Among these ones, there will surely be a better battery management.

Aug 21, 2018

A few days ago, we showed you the first teardown of the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 which revealed that the phone features a liquid cooling system just like the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. Now, a way more detailed teardown courtesy of TechInsights is showing us the most important single components of the new Korean flagship one by one. The model that you can see in the photos is the U.S. variant of the device carried by AT&T with Snapdragon 845 chipset inside. In Europe, there is another variant with Exynos 9810, so the processor is not the same on each variant.

There are several components that you can see in the photos below. The teardown has revealed the presence of an LPDDR4X SDRAM module Samsung K3UH6H60AM-AGCJ (6 GB of RAM) in a PoP (package-on-package). Inside the phone, as you can see, there is also a Samsung KLUDG4U1EA-B0C1 internal storage with a capacity of 128 GB eUFS 2.1. There is an NFC 80T17 controller made by NXP and a Wi-Fi and Bluetooth module Murata KM8509176. We can also see a Maxim MAX98512 audio amplifier, a Broadcom AFEM-9096 LTE module and the WDC9341 audio codec by Qualcomm.

All the camera sensors have been separated from the rest of the phones, highlighting a rear dual camera with 12 MP resolutions, OIS and variable apertures (it is possible to use f/1.5 and f/2.4), as well as an 8 MP front camera with f/1.7 aperture. A dual SIM tray is placed on the upper side of the phone: Samsung Galaxy Note 9 exists in both a single SIM and a dual SIM variant. The dual SIM one has a hybrid slot which can also be used as an expansion slot if you don’t use a second SIM. And obviously, there is the liquid cooling system that we mentioned above. However, the internals are not so different from the ones of the Note 8.

Its camera department combines the most innovative camera features of this year, but will the photo quality reflect the goodness of these technologies? It is still too early to know the real quality of the setup given that the phone has just been announced, but in the meantime, the Chinese company has published the first camera sample shot from its triple camera on a post published from its Weibo account.

Even though the photo has been captured in low-light condition, there are no signs of digital noise in it. From this shot, we can assume that Oppo R17 Pro has pretty good quality when it comes to camera performance and its bright aperture works very well in low light situations. There are a number of processes involved in improving the low light sample, including AI image analysis, pixel-level color reconstruction, and cleaning the image to remove noise.

Note that you can’t really talk about a flagship’s camera performance until its honest review. So, don’t keep your hopes too high just yet. In case you missed, Huawei was caught marketing a DSLR picture as a Nova 3i AI beauty sample, so we can never really be sure whether the photos come from the said device.

The triple rear camera of the OPPO R17 Pro is composed of three different sensors. The first is the one with a variable aperture (from f/1.5 to f/2.4), and it sports a 16 MP resolution. The second has a 20 MP resolution and a f/1.7 aperture, while the third has a resolution of 8 MP and it is capable of 3x optical zoom without loss of detail.

At last, there is a selfie camera with a 20 MP resolution and a f/2.0 aperture. Among the other specs of the Oppo R17 Pro, we can find a 6.4-inch display with a minimal notch (just for the front camera), a very high screen-to-body ratio and a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2280 pixels. Under the hood, there is an octa-core Snapdragon 710 chipset by Qualcomm supported by 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage expandable with a micro SD up to 256 GB. Its battery has a 3415 mAh capacity and Android 8.1 Oreo is installed out of the box.
