On March 21, Huawei had launched the 899 Yuan priced Honor 7C smartphone in China. It seems that the company is gearing up to introduce yet another budget-friendly phone as it has confirmed that it will be announcing a new phone with full screen design on March 26. It is speculated that Huawei’s sub-brand may launch the Honor 7A smartphone next Monday.
The following teasers have been shared by Honor on its official Weibo account. The Weibo post that accompanies it states that the handset would be priced under 1,000 Yuan. The presence of the letter A in the teaser suggest that the company launch the Honor 7A smartphone soon.
Some of the features of the rumored Honor 7A have been already leaked through the above teasers. The images reveal that the handset will be equipped with dual rear cameras, fingerprint scanner, Bluetooth, Face unlock, dual-SIM support, support for up to 256 GB microSD card and Android 8.0 Oreo OS.
Apart from these features, no other information on the specs of the alleged Honor 7A have appeared through the rumor mill. Since the Honor 7C is selling with a pricing of 899 Yuan (~$142), the Honor 7A may cost 999 Yuan (~$158).
We all have heard a lot about Samsung’s upcoming foldable smartphone — the Samsung Galaxy X. The smartphone, which was rumored to launch soon, is now reportedly not going to launch anytime soon.
Salman Saeed, who’s the product manager of display technology at Qualcomm said in an interview that “we might not see the phone arrive as soon as recent rumors have teased.” He adds that it might be years until something along the lines of the foldable phone similar to the leaked Samsung patents becomes a reality.
The issue behind the delay is said to be related to the fine-tuning of the user experience as well as the durability. Saeed points to the transistors in the display architecture as being the weakest link and says that the components responsible for powering individual pixels “are not flexible enough today” to withstand frequent bending.
Salman Saeed further says that “they [phone manufacturers] haven’t really cracked the material science right now to produce electrodes that can repeatedly withstand bending and folding.”
Last year, in September, Samsung’s mobile chief DJ Koh had confirmed in an interview that the company would launch its first foldable smartphone in 2018. Later, there were reports suggesting that the Galaxy X could be a limited edition device that may only arrive in select markets. The Samsung Galaxy X has reportedly received certification from Wi-Fi Alliance, Bluetooth SIG, and NRRA, which suggested that the phone could soon get launched.
The South Korean giant outed the technology years ago through a demo at Consumer Electronics Show (CES), but it seems that little has happened after that. While rumors and comments from Samsung executives have pointed to phone’s launch nearing, the device has failed to materialize so far.
Apart from Samsung, other smartphone OEMs, including Apple and LG are also speculated to be working on a foldable smartphone. However, Samsung could be the first company to debut a foldable phone.
Meanwhile, Samsung is preparing to launch its next flagship smartphone — Galaxy Note 9. Contrary to previous reports, a fresh report from a South Korean publication states that the Note 9 will adopt the in-display fingerprint scanning technology.
At the launch event of the Vivo V9 in India that was held earlier today, Vivo had confirmed that the Vivo V9 would be available in three color options such as Black, Champagne Gold and Blue Sapphire. The official site has listed the Black and Gold color variants of the V9, but it is yet to reveal the Blue variant. Gizmo China follower Ishan Agarwal had revealed the Vivo V9’s online store listing along with images several weeks before its official announcement. Today, he has shared the leaked images of Blue Sapphire Vivo V9. These images are yet to appear on the official listing of Vivo V9.
As it can be seen in the new images, the Vivo V9 Blue Sapphire has a glossy finish on its rear that gives it a premium appeal. According to Vivo, the Vivo V9 sports a unibody 3D design with glossy finish.
The Vivo V9 features a 6.3-inch IPS LCD notched display like the iPhone X. It supports 19:9 aspect ratio and FHD+ resolution. It is powered by Snapdragon 626 chipset and 4 GB of RAM. It has a native storage of 64 GB and it carries support for up to 256 GB microSD card. The has a AI driven selfie camera of 24-megapixel. It has a rear-facing 16-megapixel + 5-megapixel dual rear cameras. The backside of the phone is fitted with a fingerprint scanner and it houses a 3,260mAh battery.
The pre-bookings of Vivo V9 have already started in India with a price tag of Rs. 22,990. The shipments of the handset will begin on April 2. Read’s the launch article of the Vivo V9 that contains its entire specs, features and special offers.

Initial rumors of the Galaxy Note 9 had revealed that it would be arriving with under-display fingerprint reader. However, since then multiple reports have claimed that Samsung has canceled the inclusion of advanced biometric recognition feature on the Note 9. Even well-known KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo had claimed that the Note 9 will be arriving without in-screen fingerprint reader. However, a fresh report on The Korea Herald, a South Korean publication states that the Note 9 will adopt the in-display fingerprint scanning technology.
An unnamed has source has revealed to the publication that Samsung Display created three to four kinds of in-screen fingerprint scanner solution for the Samsung Electronics. Now both the entities are pondering on using of the one of the solutions. He has further stated that Samsung is yet to decide on the final concept for the Galaxy Note 9 because of the work related to the in-display fingerprint scanner. The company is expected to take a final call on the advanced fingerprint reader within this month.
In the past years, the design of the flagship phone was finalized around five months before its official announcement. The current rumors surrounding the Note 9 indicates that the South Korean company will take lesser time to decide on Note 9’s design. The source has claimed that the Note 9 may launch at the end of August.
Leaked information surrounding the Note 9 suggests that the Note 9’s appearance won’t be very different from the predecessor Galaxy Note 8. Like the Galaxy S9 duo, the Note 9’s Infinity Design is expected to arrive with slightly reduced bezels.
The Galaxy Note 9 is highly anticipated by the industry watchers to arrive with in-display fingerprint reader. Also, the Note 9’s fingerprint scanner is expected to be somewhat different from Chinese rivals like Vivo and the upcoming flagship phone from Huawei (probably not the P20 series). An official from the biometrics solution developer claimed that one of the concerns for Samsung will be low yields of in-screen fingerprint scanner enabled phones as it is difficult to mass produce such phones.
OnePlus is currently gearing up to launch its upcoming flagship smartphone — OnePlus 6. While the phone is still a few months away from making its debut, it has been leaked several times.
Now, a new leak has surfaced online which reveals the upcoming smartphone’s specifications. It reveals that the OnePlus 6 will feature a 6.28-inch Full-HD+ AMOLED display with screen resolution of 2280 x 1080 pixels with 18:9 aspect ratio.
Under the hood, it is expected to be powered by Qualcomm‘s flagship processor — Snapdragon 845 clocked at 2.7GHz, which is powering almost all of the flagship smartphones announced this year. Further, it suggests that the smartphone will pack 6GB RAM with 128GB internal storage.
As of the camera department, the rear camera of the OnePlus 6 is said to be consisting of 16-megapixel primary sensor and a 20-megapixel secondary sensor with a f/1.7 aperture on both lenses. The camera specs are exactly the same as the company’s current flagship device — OnePlus 5T. On the front side, the phone will come equipped with a 20-megapixel sensor with f/1.7 aperture.
Coming to the software, it is said that the OnePlus 6 will be running on Android 8.1 Oreo operating system out-of-the-box with the company’s own Oxygen OS custom interface on top. In China, instead of Oxygen OS, it will come with Hydrogen OS. The phone will be fuelled by a 3,450mAh battery and we expect that it will support the company’s own fast charging technology — Dash Charging.
Earlier leaks surrounding the OnePlus 6 smartphone claimed that it would be arriving with an aluminum body. Further, several reports suggest that the phone will come with an Apple iPhone X-like notch on the top.
There are some rumors which suggest that OnePlus’ upcoming flagship device may carry support 3D facial recognition, but it won’t be as sophisticated as Face ID on iPhone X. The phone is also expected to carry support for super-fast LTE gigabit connectivity.
While the new specifications leak only lists one variant of the phone with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage, the previous leak claimed that the highest configuration model of OP6 will have 8GB RAM with 256GB onboard storage and is expected to be priced at $749.
Looking at the specifications, the OnePlus 6 seems very much similar to the recently launched Oppo R15. It won’t be surprising if the smartphone turns out similar to the Oppo R15 as the OnePlus 5T is also quite similar to the Oppo R11s.
Huawei is now aggressively marketing the P20 and P20 Pro smartphones ahead of the official launch event that is held on March 27. The Chinese manufacturer has parked trucks installed with P20 promotional billboards right outside the stores of Apple and Samsung in some of the major cities of the U.K. including the capitol city of London.
Also, through street graffiti on the pavement outside stores of its rivaling companies, Huawei is driving the focus of the people towards the arrival of P20 and P20 Pro. One of the lines sprayed on the street reads “the renaissance is coming.” One of the ads placed on the trucks read, “a renaissance in photography is coming soon” accompanied by big-sized words like “wait” or “be patient” with AI in those words mentioned in red color to indicate that the cameras of the P20 series will rely on AI to capture impressive shots.
The Huawei P20 series includes P20, P20 Pro and P20 Lite. Since the P20 Lite is a mid-range phone, the Chinese manufacturer has already launched it separately. The upcoming launch event is reserved only for the unveiling of P20 and P20 Pro. Recent reports have revealed that P20 will be arriving with Leica engineered 12-megapixel + 20-megapixel dual rear cameras. It is speculated that one of them could be a f/1.7 aperture lens.
The Huawei P20 Pro will be blessed with triple-lens system that is expected to include a 40-megapixel RBG sensor, a 20-megapixel monochrome sensor and an 8-megapixel telephoto sensor. With AI onboard, the P20 duo will be able to capture stunning shots in low-light conditions. Both the phones are also rumored to arrive with support for slow-motion video shooting. Some of the photos that were shot using the Huawei P20 have also surfaced in the recent past to reveal its photography prowess. The P20 and P20 Pro may feature the same Sony IMX578 24-megapixel front-facing camera.

In January this year, Meizu‘s Li Nan who is the head of the blue Charm division was reported to have hinted that the company’s president Jack Wong also known as Wang Zhang will personally lead the Blue Charm division and will be involved in the product planning and building in the division. Again, Li Nan is credited to have hinted after the E3’s launch that Jack Wong will be responsible for the design of new Blue Charm models.
We don’t know if the CEO has set out to work but we are already seeing some remodelled designs on the Blue Charm models like the Meizu E3 that just launched a few days back. Meizu’s Blue Charm division is very well known for its mid-range and budget models which are usually with topnotch designs. But for quite some time, all the models seem to resemble each other design-wise. In order for the company to mount a serious push for a slice of the market share, the CEO may be trying to ensure that the smartphones launched under both the flagship Meizu division and Blue Charm division come out with thrilling designs. Don’t forget Jack Wong is also responsible for the design of the flagship models.
Meizu’s rebranding also included a change of is logo and the Blue Charm name to mBlu. It would be recalled that several logos said to be Meizu’s new logo were spotted online. Also, during the launch of the M6s, a version with the mBlu logo at the back was initially unveiled. That version was later replaced with the current one which has Meizu written on the back. Those changes may have been put on hold while the company seems poised to pursue changes to the design of its models.
Xiaomi revealed via its Mi Headphone Weibo page that a new headphone will be unveiled on March 23. The product is teased as coming with a featherweight and a new design. A second teaser has now emerged which shed some more light on the features of the Mi headset which should go official in just a matter of hours from now.
The second teaser for the product hints that the product would be manufactured using a new material. It also detailed the headset to come with an extraordinary sound output which gives a richer level of listening experience. The teaser image is two-faced. The right part is a flat porcelain plate while the left part is one part of a headphone. That is an indication that the new material from which the earphone will be manufactured is likely ceramics.
We still don’t know if this is a wired headset or a Bluetooth model but there are speculations that this is a new edition of the Mi Sports Bluetooth headphone. Xiaomi has got headsets having a metal body as well as plastic build. So, it would be interesting to see how good-looking a ceramic-built would be. We equally expect this new product to come with an affordable price tag.
Xiaomi has launched a new product under the Youpin crowdfunding platform. The product is the four-blade Smate electric shaver which comes with a price tag of 269 Yuan (~$43). This isn’t the first electric shaver Xiaomi will be unveiling. There is the portable MIJIA electric shaver priced at 179 Yuan ($27) which was launched in December. That model currently sells for as much as $46 on GearBest. However, this new model is somewhat different in terms of design and configuration.
The Xiaomi Smate electric shaver comes with a built-in high-speed motor imported from Japan. It has an operational speed of 8,000rpm. With such speed, shaving can only get done faster yet the blade is gentle on the skin. The manufacturer touts it to completely shave off the beards in 3 minutes. The high-speed motor is also durable and can last for upwards of 8 years with constant use.
The Smate electric shaver comes with four kinds of blades which is responsible for the clean shave together with the high-speed motor. There is also an eight-position floating cutter head that can be attached and detached easily with no efforts. The blade is made from tough and durable stainless steel supplied by a Japan-based supplier. It is the same with the one used for the production of scalpels and other special tools. On the outward appearance, the Smate electric shaver features a metal body manufactured using brushed aluminium alloy. It also comes with an anti-grinding rubber back shell that offers good grip. The device also has an IP67 waterproof and dustproof rating. Thus, it can be washed thoroughly after use.
The Smate electric shaver also packs a rechargeable battery that can provide up to 60 minutes of use on a single charge. There is also a USB- interface from which the device can be charged and it takes just 1 hour to achieve full charge when completely drained. The device is already available for funding on the Youpin.mi.com page. The product will start shipping from April 23.
In what appears to be a surprise, OPPO quietly announced a new phone today. The OPPO A1 comes just a few days after the launch of the OPPO R15 and R15 Dream Mirror Edition. It launches in really cool colors with an affordable price but a missing key feature.
Design
I like it when a manufacturer is not afraid to go bold with colors and OPPO has been doing just that lately. The OPPO A1 comes in three colors – Dark Blue, Cherry Red, and Pearl White. The Dark Blue actually looks very nice and if we were to take specs out of the picture, it’ll be a hard decision choosing between it and the blue Meizu E3.
While the blue and red variants have a matte finish, the white seems to be covered in glass seeing as it is reflective. The overall design is simple but classy. There is a 2.5D glass covering the display, the corners are rounded, and there is a single camera and a LED flash on the rear.
OPPO A1 Specs
The OPPO A1 has a 5.7” 18:9 display with a 1440 x 720 resolution. It also has 4GB of RAM and 64GB of expandable storage. For the chipset, the OPPO A1 is powered by a MT6763T processor also known as the Helio P23.
The rear camera is a 13MP sensor which can let you shoot up to 50MP thanks to interpolation. There is an 8MP sensor for selfies and a 3180mAh battery.
There is also Face Unlock but no fingerprint scanner! Yes, that is the missing feature – a fingerprint scanner. It is unimaginable and we want to know what prompted OPPO to make this decision.
The phone also runs ColorOS 3.2 based on Android 7.1.1 Nougat and has a tripe-card slot. It has Bluetooth 4.2, dual-band Wi-Fi, and a 3.5mm audio jack.
