A lot of information on the specs and features of the OnePlus 6 have appeared in the recent weeks. The OnePlus 5 and OnePlus 5T were the first phones from the company to house dual camera setup. The Chinese manufacturer had used horizontal design for the dual cameras of OP5 and OP5T. However, recent rumors have claimed that the company has opted for a vertical dual camera setup for the OnePlus 6. Fresh photos have appeared of cases for OnePlus 6 have appeared to corroborate on its new design for the back panel.

The first image belongs to the silicone case of the OnePlus 6 while the other one seems like a hard case. Both the cases have similar cutouts for dual cameras and its LED flash and fingerprint scanner. The cutouts are same as the pinkish-red colored case that was revealed by GizmoChina at the beginning of this month. Multiple evidences show that OP6 won’t be sporting a different rear design than its predecessor models.

OnePlus is known for placing an Alert Slider button on the left edge of its phones. However, the cutout for the Alert Slider seems to be on the right side of the OP6’s silicon case. The Power key is placed below the Alert Slider on the right edge. The volume controllers continue to exist on the left side of the phone. The hard case has a larger cutout on the left edge which indicates that it could house the Alert Slider as well as the volume keys.

OnePlus has recently released a OnePlus 6 teaser that revealed that the Alert Slider of the phone can used for adjusting the camera focus. The bottom side of both cases show cutouts for 3.5mm audio jack, external speaker and USB-C port. As far as the front design of the OnePlus 6, the below shown render has revealed that it will be arriving with a notched screen.

OnePlus 6 has gone out of stock in North America and India in the recent past. This indicates that the launch of the OP6 is drawing near. Even though the company is yet to confirm on the launch date for the phone, a leaked photo that had appeared yesterday claimed that it may launch in China on May 5. Since OnePlus is known for debuting its phones first in overseas market before making it official in China, it is speculated that the OP6 may get unveiled at the end of this month.

MediaTek had launched the Helio P60 SoC during the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2018 tech expo in February. It is currently present under the hood of phones like OPPO R15 and OPPO F7. The upcoming Meizu 15 Lite may also feature the same SoC. A report from last week had claimed that the upcoming Xiaomi Mi 6X may feature the Snapdragon 626. However, fresh information reveals that it could be powered by Helio P60 SoC.

According to the TENAA listing of the Xiaomi Mi 6X, it is driven by an octa-core processor that clocks 2.2 GHz. Even though earlier reports had claimed that the Mi 6X would be featuring the new Snapdragon 636 SoC, a recent report had claimed that it may feature the older Snapdragon 626 chipset under its hood. New rumors claim that the Mi 6X has Helio P60 onboard. However, there is no concrete evidence that supports this claim. A recent report had revealed that the SD636 powered Redmi Note 5 Pro and Helio P60 driven OPPO F7 deliver similar performance on benchmarks.

Yesterday, XDA Developers Editor-in-Chief Mishaal Rahman had revealed some key information on the cameras of the upcoming Mi 6X. He claims that the handset may feature Sony IMX486 + IMX36 dual camera system and Sony IMX376 front-facing camera.

Camera sensors for what I believe is the Xiaomi Mi 6X (taken from "camera_config.xml" for code-name "wayne" where TENAA certification code M1804D2SC matches "IS_D2S=wayne"):

BACK: imx486
BACK_AUX: imx376
FRONT: imx376

The Redmi Note 5 Pro phone that was launched in India in February features 20-megapixel Sony IMX376 sensor as its selfie camera. Also, it has 12-megapixel Sony IMX486 has the main sensor in its dual camera setup. Hence, the Mi 6X may feature the 20-megapixel Sony IMX376 as its frontal snapper and its dual camera module may comprise of a 12-megapixel Sony IMX486 sensor and a 20-megapixel Sony IMX376 sensor.

As far as other specs are concerned, the TENAA listing of Mi 6X have revealed that it house a 5.99-inch FHD+ display with 18:9 aspect ratio. It may come in models like 4 GB RAM + 64 GB storage and 6 GB RAM + 128 GB storage. It may house a 2,910mAh battery and may come loaded with the Android 8.1 Oreo overlaid with the latest MIUI skin.

Since the handset has already been certified by TENAA authority in the hoe market. It is speculated that Xiaomi may hold a launch event on April 25 to make it official. If this rumor is true, the Chinese manufacturer may confirm on the official launch date soon. Xiaomi is expected to release this phone as Mi A2 Android One outside of China. Fresh information reveals that the Mi A2 may debut in soon in the near future.

Apple Patents Display Tech For Self-Driving Cars Using AR To Enhance Driver Safety

Apr 10, 2018

U.S tech giant, Apple has got its sight set at developing technologies for self-driving cars. A recent Apple patent filing has been unravelled giving insight to what the tech giant has conceived for the advancement of self-driving cars. The patent application is for an “Adaptive vehicle augmented reality display using stereographic imagery”. The details of the display system include an AR system that can use a pre-generated 3D model of the world in improving how it generates 3D content for its users.

The patent application suggests that the system can be used to provide users with even more information about the world around them, while on the move. The 3D model that is pre-generated could also include data about road routes, points of interest, and other areas useful to drivers, and these data could be held remotely in cloud storage. The entire 3D model could be collected together into smaller chunks, like 3D versions of tiles used by online mapping services. When needed, relevant sections of the 3D model may be provided to the car’s AR system.

The system would also provide information about areas that are far beyond the range of the car’s sensor arrays and the driver’s own vision. This can then allow for data that isn’t immediately visible to be included in the displayed image, such as showing the path ahead in an AR view, including parts of the road obscured by buildings or hills in the distance. This could come in handy in cases where visibility is poor, like fog or heavy snow, where the car’s sensors may find it difficult to create an accurate picture of the immediate area outside. The pre-existing cloud data could help give what would be an expected route and important notifications that the sensors are unable to create for themselves, in an emergency.

This system, if it comes to reality, will greatly enhance the assist system avaiabe in a self-driving car with extra data for the road ahead. This potentially makes these systems more useful and safer. Giving a self-driving car more data potentially means it will be more capable of planning manoeuvres it may need to perform in the coming miles, with the advanced warning providing more time for processing these types of decisions.

Xiaomi‘s Redmi series has been one of its most successful product range. The Redmi 4A is perhaps the cheapest and most successful smartphone under the series but the Note models have carved a niche for themselves globally. Recently, Xiaomi added the Redmi Note 5 to the lineup and it really wasn’t a disappointment in any aspect. The smartphone is already on sale in China and now, it is about to land other markets overseas.

Xiaomi’s international Product and Marketing director, Donovan Sung has revealed that the Redmi Note5 would be launched in Indonesia on April 18. The Xiaomi exec made this disclosure o his official Weibo page. This announcement thus effectively confirms that China’s Redmi Note 5 is the global version.

China’s Redmi Note 5 features a 5.99-inch FHD+ display with a resolution of 2160 x 1080 pixels. The device is powered by a Snapdragon 636 processor paired with 4GB of RAM. The major marketing feature of the Redmi Note 5 is the AI dual cameras which it packs at the rear. The Redmi Note 5’s AI Dual Camera comprises of a 12MP primary sensor that has a pixel size of 1.4micron and f/1.9 aperture along with a 5MP secondary depth of field sensor. It is equipped with features like dual autofocus, EIS (Electronic Image Stabilization), HDR, Burst Mode and Panorama.

ZTE has silently taken the wraps off a new phone – the ZTE A530. It is an entry-level phone with a full-screen display but is a bit pricey for what it offers.

Detachable laptops are the most versatile productivity machines as they combine the comfort of a tablet with the power and the input methods of a PC. Microsoft Surface devices are the most powerful convertible tablets, but their price is very high. If you are looking for an affordable solution, you may like the HP Chromebook x2 which has just been announced. It is not the classic detachable laptop with Windows 10, but it is a 2-in-1 with Chrome OS, a fast and lightweight operating system based on Google Chrome and the recently-added Play Store with Android apps available.

It is made of metal, it is scratch-resistant and it has an AED treatment (Anodized Electrodeposition) which creates an effect similar to white ceramic. This laptop weighs only 1440 grams (keyboard included) and it has a total thickness of just 8.2 mm.

Apr 9, 2018

Smartisan Nut 3 was just announced but the first unboxing photos have already surfaced online. In the images, the phones appears in two colors: White and Red, and we can clearly see a premium and unique design. Smartisan has always distinguished from the mass for the original aesthetics of its handsets, and with the Nut 3, it is exactly the same.

Even though it is an affordable midrange, this device has a premium tri-bezel-less design on the front panel. The upper bezel is very narrow, but there is space for the earpiece. On the lower part, you can see a thicker bezel which contains the front camera and a stretched fingerprint reader. On the sides of Smartisan Nut 3, there is an aluminum frame with circular physical keys, while the backplate is made of glass just like most of the best flagship smartphones.

On the top left corner of the back cover, there is a dual camera setup paired with a dual flash LED. Smartisan Nut 3 sports a 5.99-inch Full HD+ display and a big 4000 mAh battery in a just 7.16 thin body.

The ZTE Iceberg Has Two Notches, Dual Cameras, & Might Be Modular

By

-

Apr 9, 2018

ZTE’s Nubia sub-brand has been picking up the slack left by its parent company in the flagship department. The only flagship ZTE itself launched last year is the Axon M – a dual screen phone with aging specs. However, ZTE is said to be working on a new flagship called the Axon M9 set for a September launch. It also seems to be working on an unusual phone called the ZTE Iceberg.

You may be wondering why we said the ZTE Iceberg is unusual. That has more to do with its design and less with its specs. As a matter of fact, little or nothing is known about the latter.

The ZTE Iceberg, unlike most phones, is made of glass. Just glass, no metal frame. There are actually two pieces of glass combined using a “seamless glass connection technique” for a single unibody. The result is something we have never seen before.

Instead of rounded corners, the Iceberg has glass jutting out at the corners. Even just by the look of it, I can feel some discomfort from the corners poking my palms. The design doesn’t end there.

Phones with notches are sort of the trend this year and ZTE’s Iceberg joins the train but with two notches. There is one at the top that houses the camera, earpiece, and sensor; and another at the bottom that houses yet another speaker. This means the phone has front-facing stereo speakers.

On the rear, the Iceberg has dual cameras positioned at the left corner and a fingerprint scanner in the middle. At the base of the phone, just below the ZTE logo, are five contact pins which may be to supply power to add-ons that add extra functionality to the device.

The ZTE Iceberg is listed on the website of iF World Design Guide and it reveals that the phone has support for wireless charging and will be launched “after 2018”.

Spotify To Make A New Announcement On April 24: Smart Speaker Incoming?

By

Apr 9, 2018

Spotify has set a new event in New York City. It will be held on April 24 and the company has sent invites for a “news announcement”. One of the most reliable hypotheses regards the announcement of its first hardware product: a smart speaker. According to recent rumors, the company has hired new experts in order to develop a new smart speaker to compete with Amazon Echo, Apple HomePod, and Google Home.

But the announcement of a smart speaker is not the only hypothesis surrounding the mysterious event confirmed by Spotify. According to other speculations, the company will announce a new feature which will allow users to search for music in the official app by using vocal input. In the past few weeks, the company has been testing this feature with a restricted number of iOS users, so the moment of the official rollout may have arrived.

OnePlus 6 Avengers: Infinity War Limited Edition Confirmed To Launch In The UK

Apr 9, 2018

OnePlus is preparing to launch its next-generation flagship smartphone OnePlus 6 next month. The smartphone is expected to launch on 5th May in China, along with the company’s new wireless earphones.

But, if the latest reports are to be believed, then that’s not all coming from the China-based company next month. The company is also said to be working on a new limited-edition model of the OnePlus 6, similar to what the company did with the OnePlus 5T Star Wars Edition.

According to the reports, the company is partnering with Marvel to launch OnePlus 6 Avengers: Infinity War Limited Edition smartphone in the UK. The phone could be launched at the same time as OnePlus 6. This limited edition smartphone had surfaced last week and was reported to launch later this month. While not yet confirmed, we expect this limited edition model to be available in other regions as well.

Similar to the OnePlus 5T Star Wars Edition, the upcoming OnePlus 6 Avengers: Infinity War Edition will also be available in limited stocks. We expect it to be priced similarly to the standard edition of the OP6.

The upcoming flagship killer — OnePlus 6 is confirmed to be powered by Qualcomm‘s Snapdragon 845 processor, along with 8GB RAM and 256GB internal storage. The leaked photos of the phone suggests that the notched display of the OnePlus 6 could deliver around 90 percent screen-to-body ratio. Moreover, its alleged 20-megapixel + 16-megapixel dual camera setup is expected to deliver enhanced photography experience.

The OnePlus 5T has already gone out of stock in North America and now the 128GB OP5T is no longer available for purchase in India. As the OnePlus 5T is going out of stock in multiple markets, it appears that the unveiling of OnePlus 6 could happen soon.

Like China, India is also expected to receive three models of the OP6 smartphone — 6GB RAM + 64GB storage, 6GB RAM + 128GB storage and 8GB RAM + 256GB storage. They are expected to be priced around Rs. 33,999, Rs. 38,999 and Rs. 44,999 respectively. India is also expected to receive the OnePlus Bullets Wireless earbuds.

OnePlus usually launches its smartphones first in the overseas market and then in China. Given that the latest reports suggest May 5th as the China launch date, the OnePlus 6 could get announced by the end of this month.

News of the OnePlus 6 keeps pouring in in a steady stream and it may remain that way until a few weeks after it officially launches. The latest is a short video that shows the OnePlus 6 in use.
