ASUS Zenfone Live L1 Gets Proper Launch: Price and Availability Details Released

A few weeks ago, ASUS launched the Zenfone Live L1 in Indonesia but there were a number of details missing. Today, the phone has gotten a proper announcement with all the missing details included.

ASUS Zenfone Live L1

The Zenfone Live L1 is an entry-level phone that can best be described as ASUS’ version of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5A/Y1 Lite. However, the ASUS has some key advantages over the Redmi.

The Zenfone Live L1 has a 5.5-inch screen but its 1440 x 720 screen resolution which translates to an 18:9 aspect ratio gives it a 5” form factor. So it is smaller and lighter though thicker than the Redmi Note 5A. The screen has glove support and also has a Bluelight filter.

The Zenfone Live L1 comes in two variants – an Android Go version and a regular version. The Android Go version has 1GB RAM and 16GB storage, an 8MP rear camera, and of course, runs Android Oreo (Go edition). The regular model which runs Android Oreo with ZenUI 5 overlay has 2GB/3GB of RAM, 16GB/32GB of storage, and a 13MP rear camera.

The remaining specs are the same. They are both powered by the Snapdragon 425 processor and have 5MP front-facing cameras. Both also use a triple card tray which lets you use 2 SIM cards (LTE on both slots) and also add up to 2TB of extra storage via a MicroSD card.

There is Bluetooth 4.0, 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, GPS, FM Radio, a micro USB port, and a 3.5mm audio jack. There is no fingerprint scanner but there is Face Unlock. The battery capacity is 3,000mAh for both models.

Microsoft is Making Cheaper Surface Tablets To Take On The iPad (& Maybe Chromebook Tab)

The Microsoft Surface Pro is the latest tablet from the Redmond-based corporation. Advertised as the tablet that can replace your laptop, the Surface Pro starts at $799. There are reports we may get smaller and cheaper Surface Tablets in the near future.

The last time Microsoft made smaller-sized tablets, they weren’t very successful. The last was the Surface 3 and Microsoft stopped production for it in 2016.

Microsoft Surface Pro

The news of smaller Surface tablets comes from Bloomberg which reports that the smaller tablets will have 10-inch screens, rounded corners, a USB-C port for power, and will have a $400 price tag. This pricing will put it in the same league with Apple’s new 9.7-inch iPad.

The smaller size means a smaller battery, so you won’t get the same battery life from the larger Surface models. However, it will be about 20% lighter and easy to carry around for long hours.

The new smaller Surface tablets will not be powered by Qualcomm chips running Windows 10 on ARM but will run full Windows 10 Pro. However, it will also offer models with LTE.

The $400 price means a number of things will be cut out. The new Surface tablets won’t come with a keyboard or stylus out of the box. So if you need those, you will have to pay extra. At the moment, the cheapest keyboard cover on the Microsoft store is $129.99 and the Surface Pen is $99.99. However, Mircosoft is said to be working on newer and less expensive versions.

Alleged Nokia 3 (2018) Appears in a Leaked Shot, Reveals New Design

HMD Global will be holding a launch event on May 29 in Russia. The Finnish firm is expected to debut new phones that haven’t been announced before. Rumors are rife that the company may debut the 2018 editions of the Nokia 3, Nokia 5 and Nokia 2. A leaked photo of the rear panel of the alleged Nokia 3 (2018) smartphone has surfaced online. It reveals that the smartphone will be arriving with an updated rear design compared to the original Nokia 3.

The leaked image shows that the mysterious Nokia phone features a hard plastic rear shell like the good old Lumia phones. The rear panel of the original Nokia 5 was more rounded and curved towards the edges whereas the Nokia 3 came with a rectangular back panel. Hence, it appears that the rear shell in the newly leaked image could belong to the rumored 2018 edition of the Nokia 3 smartphone.

The changes that can be seen on the back panel of the alleged Nokia 3 (2018) is the inclusion of an elongated camera module that can be found on the recent Nokia phones. Below the camera module is a round-shaped cutout that could belong to the fingerprint scanner. The original Nokia 3 did not feature a fingerprint reader. The presence of a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner on the rumored Nokia 3 (2018) suggests that it could be arriving with a tall aspect ratio supporting display.

The Finnish firm has recently launched the Nokia X6 smartphone with notched display design. The company is also speculated to debut the rumored Nokia X7 and Nokia X5 that are likely to arrive with the same notched design as the Nokia X6.

OnePlus had a global launch event yesterday to announce the arrival of the OnePlus 6 smartphone. Soon after the launch, Zack from YouTube channel JerryRigEverything released a video to reveal the durability of the OnePlus 6 by making it undergo scratch, burn and bend tests.

OnePlus 6 Scratch Test

The notched screen of the OnePlus 6 is shielded by Corning Gorilla Glass 5. The rear side of the phone also features Gorilla Glass 5 panel. The front and rear sides of the OP6 developed scratches on level 6 of Mohs scale of hardness. Like other phones with Gorilla Glass 5, the OnePlus ended up with deeper grooves on level 7.

The notch of the phone houses the selfie camera and speaker grille. A deliberate attempt to remove the speaker grille turned futile as it has been solidly attached to the device. The selfie camera remains safe under the Gorilla Glass 5 layer. The frame of the phone along with the buttons are made out of metal. The manufacturer has added a cushion layer of soft plastic between the glass and metal frame. Its inclusion protects the glass panels of the phone from cracking easily when it is dropped. The dual rear cameras, fingerprint scanner and the logo of the company are well-protected from scratches as they placed under the layer of Gorilla Glass 5.

OnePlus 6 Burn Test for Display

The 6.28-inch Optic AMOLED notched screen of the OnePlus 6 offers an aspect ratio of 19:9 and FHD+ resolution of 2280 x 1080 pixels. When the screen was treated with flame, it took around 20 seconds for affected to turn black and it did not recover.

OnePlus 6 Bend Test

Except for the mid-range OnePlus X from 2014, all the predecessor OnePlus flagship phones came with full metallic chassis. Hence, they were quite durable. As it can be seen in the video below, when pressure was applied to the center portion of the front and rear sides of the phone, it flexed to some extent, but it did not develop any crack.

This year, the company will be launching OnePlus 6 Avengers Limited Edition phone. The leaked renders of the special edition OP6 have already appeared in the recent past.

Xiaomi E6 with Snapdragon 625, 3 GB RAM Found Listed on Geekbench

Recently, a smartphone labelled as Xiaomi Strakz was spotted on Geekbench benchmarking platform with Snapdragon 625 and 4 GB of RAM. Today, another phone from the Chinese manufacturer named Xiaomi E6 has appeared on the benchmarking site.

The Xiaomi E6 Geekbench listing reveals that it is fueled by an octa-core processor that clocks at 2.0 GHz. However, the exact model number of processor is not mentioned on Geekbench. It is speculated that the Xiaomi E6 could be powered by the Snapdragon 625 chipset. The SoC of the Xiaomi E6 is accompanied by 3 GB of RAM and the handset is preinstalled with Android 8.1 Oreo.

In single-core test, the Xiaomi E6 has salvaged 841 points whereas it has scored 4259 points in multi-core test. Since these scores are similar to the Geekbench scores of the Xiaomi Mi 5X, it seems that the smartphone could be powered by the good old Snapdragon 625. Xiaomi E6 could be yet another Redmi series phone from the company or it could be an international version of the recently unveiled Redmi S2.

Apart from Xiaomi E6 and Strakz, other phones such as Xiaomi Cactus and Xiaomi Cereus have also appeared on Geekbench. It is speculated that Cactus and Cereus models could be the two variants of the rumored Xiaomi Redmi 5X smartphone

Nokia X6 Hands On Pictures: Nokia Hits With Its First Phone With A Notch

Nokia finally took the wraps off the Nokia X6 smartphone in a ceremony held in Beijing China. The X6 is coming as Nokia’s first smartphone with a notch on its display and we must admit the device lived up to expectation, that is if you have no problem with smartphones having a display notch.

Indeed, the Nokia X6 comes with a cut-out on its display which is a compromise on the symmetry so as to create a near bezel-less display design. That is obvious at the top edge and the sides but the chin still has a noticeable bezel. The front design really isn’t very much different from other notch-packing smartphones around except that the cut-out is just moderate in size, a little bigger than the Essential Phone’s and smaller than iPhone X’s. The display size is 5.88 inches with the 19:9 aspect ratio and an FHD+ resolution of 2280 × 1080 pixels. The display gets further protection from a Corning Gorilla Glass 3 panel.Nokia X6

The back of the Nokia X6 is just as premium as the front aspect. While the mid-frame is made of aluminium alloy, the rear panel is wrapped with Corning Gorilla Glass just like the display, giving the device a glass body. The premium look will be available in Black, White and Dark Blue colours. The volume rockers and power buttons lie at the right side of the display while the SIM tray is at the left side.Nokia X6

The device further packs a dual camera setup at the rear which is aligned in a vertical plane at the middle. The rear camera is a 16MP+5MP combo with a 16MP sensor at the front for selfies. There is also a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor just under the cameras but there is equally Face Unlock feature onboard. Other top-notch features include 4G VoLTE, WiFi 802.11 ac (2.4GHz + 5GHz), Bluetooth 5, GPS + GLONASS, and USB Type-C. The device gets its juice from a 3,060mAh which from experience, isn’t the best they could have done but there is QC 3.0 fast charging technology onboard. nokia x6

Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Gets Massive $130 Off, Now Sells For $370 on Amazon & Best Buy

Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact was launched alongside the Xperia XZ1 at IFA Berlin 2017. That means the device is just 9 months in the market, not even up to one year but its price has seen a sharp drop and is presently sold for $369 on Amazon and Best Buy. The present price is a massive $130 off the original price of the compact flagship that is if we assume it retails for $500. Both retailers list the original price as $600 which means it gets $230 off its price! 

The Xperia XZ1 Compact comes with a smaller 4.6-inch display with HD resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels. The device prides itself in having a flagship-level hardware crammed inside the compact chassis. Thus, the device is targeted at consumers who aren’t particularly attracted by phablet-sized models with big displays. So, if you are particularly interested in smaller, powerful smartphones, then you should check out the Xperia XZ1 Compact’s discount offer while it lasts. There is no indication if it is a time-limited offer, though.Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact
