Apr 3, 2018

HTC is working on its flagship smartphone, which is said to have been named HTC U12 Plus. Now, a new report coming from Taiwan cites insider sources close to HTC to suggest that the smartphone could be launched next month.

According to the reports, HTC deliberately postponed the launch of its flagship smartphone in order to avoid head-to-head competition from Samsung’s Galaxy S9 series or Sony’s Xperia XZ2 lineup. Further, it is said that the company is also going to spend significantly to advertise the upcoming smartphone.

The HTC U12 Plus is expected to be the only premium smartphone from the company to launch this year. This could be the company’s strategy to prolong the sales cycle.

Based on the previous leaks, the HTC U12 Plus will come with a 5.99-inch QHD+ display and will be powered by Qualcomm‘s Snapdragon 845 processor, which is powering almost all flagship smartphones launched this year so far, including the Galaxy S9 series.

The smartphone will pack 6GB RAM and will offer up to 256GB of internal storage. In the camera department, it will come equipped with a 16-megapixel and 12-megapixel camera sensors at the back, and two 8-megapixel front-facing snappers.

Along with a fingerprint scanner, the device will also come with facial recognition feature for added security. Running on Android Oreo operating system out-of-the-box, the smartphone will be fuelled by a 3,450mAh battery.

A couple of weeks ago, concept renders of the HTC U12 Plus surfaced online in three colors — Red, Black, and White, which were created by 3D artist ConceptCreator. The phone’s renders provided a clear look at the design of the upcoming smartphone and what to expect from it.

While the U12 Plus will be the only premium smartphone from HTC, the Taiwan-based company is planning to launch U12 Life, an affordable mid-range which is also expected to feature a notched display. Recently, HTC announced its two mid-range smartphones — Desire 12 and Desire 12+. However, the company has not yet revealed the phone’s pricing or availability details.

Qualcomm said in its official release statement that first commercial samples will start shipping in the first half of 2018 but it didn’t reveal the name of any chipset in the series. Fortunately for us, leaker @rquandt seems to have gotten the name of one of the chipsets.

Qualcomm Snapdragon 710 (SDM710) incoming. The first 700-series Snapdragon SoC.

— Roland Quandt (@rquandt) April 3, 2018

In a tweet posted earlier today, he revealed that the Snapdragon 710 (SDM710) is coming and it is the first of the 700-series mobile platform from Qualcomm. Sadly, he said there is no info about the SoC’s configuration.

Apr 3, 2018

The media has been awash with news of a new Xiaomi phone that would be dropping soon under the Black Shark moniker. That news has festered despite no official confirmation to that effect. Well, until now. Xiaomi has officially confirmed it has invested in the Black Shark gaming phone company. Thus, the expected gaming phone will bear the Mi branding.

This is coming after a Xiaomi official, Sun Changxu revealed that the smartphone will be released in Beijing, China on April 13. The revelation also touts the Black Shark phone as being the first real gaming phone. The phone will be manufactured by the Nanchang Black Shark Technology Co. Ltd which we now know that Xiaomi has vested interest. The company presently has over 300 employees and over 90% are designers and Engineers. So, Xiaomi may likely use its growing marketing network to sell the phone.

The Black Shark gaming phone is expected to pack a flagship Snapdragon 845 chipset as revealed by its appearance on GeekBench. The device will also feature 8GB of RAM and an 18:9 full-screen design.

Apr 3, 2018

Meizu has today launched its new smartphone in the Indian market — the Meizu Pro 7. The phone was originally scheduled to launch in November last year but it was delayed because of logistics issues. The Meizu Pro 7 was originally introduced in China in July last year.

In its announcement, the company has just announced the launch of Meizu Pro 7 and not the Pro 7 Plus variant. Priced at Rs. 22,999 (approximately $354) in India, the smartphone will be available in only Black color, exclusively through Amazon India in limited stocks.

One of the highlights of the phone is that it features two displays — one on the front and another one on the back panel. On the front side, there’s a 5.2-inch Full HD Super AMOLED display with 1920 x 1080 pixels screen resolution and a 1.9-inch secondary Super AMOLED display at the back that support a screen resolution of 240 x 536 pixels.

Under the hood, the smartphone is powered by a 2.5GHz octa-core MediaTek Helio P25 processor along with Mali-T880 GPU and 4GB RAM. There’s a 64GB internal memory. There’s a microSD card slot for further expanding the storage capacity. It has a fingerprint sensor at the back for added security and comes with a Cirrus Logic CS43130 Smart PA amplifier.

On the camera front, the phone features a dual camera at the back, which consists of a 12-megapixel monochrome lens and a 12-megapixel RGB lens. It features a dual-tone LED Flash, f/2.0 aperture, 1.25um pixel size, Sony IMX386 sensors, and phase detection auto-focus (PDAF). On the front side, there’s a 16-megapixel snapper with f/2.0 aperture.

Connectivity options on the device include 4G VoLTE, WiFi 802.11 ac (2.4/5 GHz), Bluetooth 4.2, GPS, and USB Type-C. The smartphone comes with Android 7.0 Nougat operating system out-of-the-box which is quite disappointing as most smartphones now come with Android Oreo pre-installed. The phone drives power from a 3,000mAh battery which comes with mCharge fast charging support.

Apr 3, 2018

Samsung had released the Galaxy S5 mini in 2014 as a smaller edition of the Galaxy S5 phone. However, the South Korean company did not launch Galaxy S6 mini, Galaxy S7 mini or Galaxy S8 Mini in the recent years. On Friday, a well-known tipster from China had claimed that Samsung is testing the Galaxy S9 mini phone in China. He had also revealed that the model number of the S9 mini is SM-G8750. Now the same model number has been spotted on Geekbench, it seems that the S9 Mini truly exists. The Geekbench listing has revealed some of the key specs of the phone.3

The Geekbench listing of SM-G8750 reveals that it is preinstalled with Android 8.0 Oreo. The Galaxy S9 mini could be the first smartphone from the South Korean company to feature the Snapdragon 660 mobile platform. The SoC is coupled by 4 GB of RAM. In single-core and multi-core tests of Geekbench, the Galaxy S9 mini has respectively scored 1619 and 5955 points.

There is no information available on the other specifications of the Galaxy S9 mini. However, it is speculated to arrive with Infinity Display design like the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+.Its display could be sized between 5-inch and 5.5-inch and it may carry support for 18.5:9 aspect ratio like the Galaxy S9 duo. Also, it is unlikely to feature dual camera setup like the S9+.

Currently, there is no information available on the launch date of the Galaxy S9 mini. Since the South Korean company is testing the S9 mini in China, it may arrive with a cheaper price tag to take on the leading smartphones in the mid-range bracket.

Xiaomi Mi Mix 2s Available Units Sold out in Minutes in First Flash Sale

By

-

Apr 3, 2018

Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S was officially launched on March 27, 2018 but the device went up for sale in China for the first time today (April 3). The Mi Mix 2s was available exclusively on Mi Store and from the sales records, all units in stock were sold out in just a few minutes. Presently, all variants of the Mi Mix 2s are out of stock and the next flash sale will take place on Friday, April 6 at 10 AM UTC+8.

The number of units made available isn’t usually disclosed but Xiaomi has made tremendous improvements on its available stock in recent times. So we expect a considerable amount of units were put up for sale. Thus, the exhaustion of stock could be linked to the high level of interests the flagship device commands.

The Mi Mix 2s is Xiaomi’s first smartphone to pack the latest Snapdragon 845 chipset. It also has a dual-camera setup at the back, where one of the snappers has large 1.4ɥm pixels and bright f/1.8 aperture, while the secondary shooter has a telephoto lens with f/2.4 aperture. The device runs MIUI 9.5 based on Android Oreo 8.0 and has Qi wireless charging support – a first on a ceramic device. The Mix 2s prices start from 3,299 Yuan (€426/$530) for the 6/64GB variant and go as high as 3,999 Yuan (€516/$636) for the 8/256 GB model. All units come with a free Qi wireless charger valued at around $15.

Xiaomi Mi 7: Top 5 Exciting Features to Watch Out For

By

-

Apr 3, 2018

Recent reports have claimed that the Snapdragon 845 chipset powered Xiaomi Mi 7 may debut in June. Plenty of details of the Mi 7 have appeared through its leaked firmware files and other sources in the recent weeks. The Xiaomi Mi 7 will possibly be a real breakthrough smartphone from Xiaomi as it is likely to come equipped with features like OLED display, 3D facial scanning, wireless charging and more. Here is a low down on the some of the exciting features to watch out on the Xiaomi Mi 7:

OLED Display

Through multiple leaks it has been known that the Xiaomi Mi 7 may feature an OLED display supplied by Samsung. The Mi 7 firmware files have revealed that its display will be enabled with a notch and it will carry support for Always-On Display feature. The recently launched Mi MIX 2S features an LCD panel that offers an 18:9 aspect ratio. However, the notch enabled Mi 7 may offer 19:9 aspect ratio.

Under-Display Fingerprint Scanner

Speculations are rife that Xiaomi will be launching the Mi 7 Plus smartphone alongside the Mi 7. The firmware files of the alleged Mi 7 Plus have revealed that it may come with features like an OLED display, Snapdragon 845 chipset, 4,000mAh battery and under-display fingerprint scanner. However, there is no evidence on whether the Mi 7 will feature an under-display fingerprint scanner.

3D Facial Recognition

The firmware files of the Mi 7 had also unearthed that its notch could be housing Infrared Camera sensor. This suggests that the Mi 7 may arrive with 3D facial scanning feature. It could be as robust as Face ID 3D facial recognition function present on iPhone X.

If the Mi 7 will arrive with 3D face reader, it may not need to feature an under-display or a regular fingerprint scanner. A leaked image showing the rear view of the alleged Mi 7 that had appeared in the previous month reveals that it does not feature a fingerprint scanner.

Dual Rear Cameras

Like the Xiaomi Mi MIX 2S, the Mi 7 is speculated to arrive with vertically aligned dual camera system. As of this writing, there is no information on the exact configuration of the dual rear cameras of Mi 7. However, it is likely to borrow AI capabilities of Mi MIX 2S for better low-light photography, bokeh effect shots and scene detection.

Xiao AI Voice Assistant

The Mi MIX 2S is the first smartphone from the company to feature the AI assistant named Xiao AI. At present, Xiao AI is only available in China. Now that the Xiaomi’s digital assistant has been introduced, the Mi 7 is for sure going to feature it. However, there is no confirmation on whether it will carry support for English and other languages.

Here is an official video that shows how efficient the Xiaomi’s voice assistant is.

Wireless Charging

The Xiaomi Mi 7 is expected to house a 3,400mAh battery. A recent report had revealed that it may support 7.5W wireless charging like the iPhone X.

Such features of the Mi 7 indicate that it will be an ultimate flagship phone from the company. Would you be buying the Mi MIX 2S or waiting for the launch of Mi 7? Share us your views by posting your comments below.

OnePlus Latest Teaser Video Hints At a OnePlus 6 Marvel’s Avengers Edition

By

-

Apr 3, 2018

OnePlus could be planning a customized edition of the OnePlus 6 which would be launched this month. A leaked video teasing the OnePlus 6 The Avengers Edition was spotted on OnePlus India Facebook page. Marvel’s Avengers or simply The Avengers is a 2012 American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics superhero team of the same name, produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. The video has since been pulled down but that wasn’t before it was scooped up by eagle-eyed fans.

The leaked video seems to tease the new Avengers: Infinity Wars sequel that would be released in theatres worldwide on April 27 which is a couple of weeks away. However, the video also contains OnePlus’ logo which seems to flicker alongside that of Marvel Studios. The thing is that OnePlus is yet to reveal when the OnePlus 6 will be launched and isn’t likely that the Avengers customized version will be launched before the ordinary version. So, it is likely that the video only teases the coming of a customised OnePlus 6 Avengers edition in the near future.

OnePlus is no stranger to releasing a customised version of its flagship. Last year, the company launched the OnePlus 5T Star Wars edition and India was the first port of call. So, since the leaked video first appeared on OnePlus India’s Facebook page as reported, there is a strong likelihood that the customised edition may be launched first in India too.

According to earlier leaked details, the OP6 is expected to feature a 6.28-inch display with a cut-out (notch ) on top of the display similar to the iPhone X. The device will also have a resolution of 2280 x 1080p and adopt a 19:9 aspect ratio. The flagship model will pack a Snapdragon 845 chipset paired with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage. It was recently confirmed officially that there is also going to be a version with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage. There will also be a 3450mAh battery onboard. On the camera aspect, the OnePlus 6 is said to feature a 20MP camera at the front while at the rear, there will be a 20MP + 16MP dual camera setup.

The smartphones are nearly identical in terms of specifications. The primary differences are battery capacity, dimensions, and screen size. Connectivity options on the device include 4G LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth v5.0, USB Type-C, NFC, and GPS.

The Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus are powered by 3,000mAh and 3,500mAh battery respectively, along with support for wireless charging and fast-charging.

Apr 3, 2018

The Black Shark Gaming Smartphone is a hotly anticipated device from one of Xiaomi’s funded companies. Earlier today, it was revealed that the phone will launch on April 13. That’s still 10 days away but you don’t have to wait that long to get a look at the device.

A user on Weibo has shared alleged promo photos of the Black Shark Phone. Combine the photos with some of the already leaked specs and there are only a few missing details including the price of the device.

The Black Shark Gaming Smartphone is black with a touch of acid green. The green color gives off a Razer vibe and can be found underneath the joysticks and on the trigger buttons. A LED beside the power button also has the same color.

The screen is wide enough for gaming and is flanked on the left by a D-pad, a joystick, and a smaller button we can’t make out its function. On the left are action buttons with the familiar triangle, square, circle, and X icons, another joystick and two unknown buttons.

The top of the Black Shark Gaming Smartphone is home to two shoulder buttons, volume control buttons, and a power button. At the bottom is a charging port and a 3.5mm audio jack.

Apr 3, 2018

Remember the red iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus? They made it to our list of favorite red phones for 2017. We hope to make another list for 2018 and even a list for blue phones too. We already have a few phones on the list already and we may be adding more soon. Unconfirmed reports say new red iPhone(s) is coming soon.

According to @OnLeaks, an unverified source “confirmed” that new red iPhone(s) is on the way and may be released this month. We don’t know if Apple is only releasing one new red iPhone or multiple. So we may get to see a red iPhone X, or a red iPhone 8/8 Plus or all three or just two. We do not know if Apple will be partnering with (PRODUCT)^RED this time.

OPPO R15 Creates New Sales Record For The Company In China

By

Apr 3, 2018

OPPO is among the top three phone makers in China presently in terms of smartphone shipments and still jostle for the top 5 spot in the global market. The company recently went official with OPPO R15 and R15 Dream Mirror Edition. Both new smartphones went on sale for the first time on April 1 and the official information from the BKK-owned OPPO indicates that the R15 has created a new sales record for the company in China.

A perusal of the opening day sales figures on the Jingdong, Tmall, and Suning showed a record sales exceeding that of the R11. However, we are not privy to the sales figures so as to make our independent analysis and comparison. OPPO’s models have always enjoyed good sales outing and the R15 seems not to be an exception. The trend has been a long streak right from the time of the OPPO R9. In January 2017, just two months after the R9S was released, OPPO revealed that it had sold almost 3 million units in China alone. The model was also crowned by Sino research as the top selling smartphone by a Chinese manufacturer. The first day sale of the R9s on Jingdong was broken by the R11 in just 40 minutes and the model did go on to record stunning feats in terms of sales volumes. That record may likely be shattered by the R15 considering its new design and amazing hardware lineup.

As a reminder, the OPPO R11 features a MediaTek Helio P60 chipset paired with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage on the topmost variant. The device pack a 3,450mAh battery with support for VOOC flash charge. The Dream Mirror edition is powered by a Snapdragon 660 chipset and comes in a Red and Ceramic Black variants. Another major feature of the R11 models is the use of a new 16MP Sony IMX519 sensor as its main camera sensor at the rear.
