I think we need to agree ASUS is terrible when it comes to naming its products. The only other manufacturer that matches it is Xiaomi. Take for instance this upcoming phone called the Zenfone Max Pro M1. It is different from the Zenfone Max Plus (M1) which was released in Russia as the Zenfone Max (M1). Let’s not also forget that back in 2016, ASUS released a phone called the Zenfone Max Pro which also packs a 5,000mAh battery.
Specs of the Zenfone Max Pro (M1) leaked a few days ago and it sure looks like the perfect contender to Xiaomi’s Redmi Note 5 (Pro). All we hope for now is an affordable price tag.
More photos of the phone have been released by Evan Blass and he also c0nfirms some of the specs. The new photos show the phone in blue and silver.
The Zenfone Max Pro (M1) has a different design from the Zenfone 5 and Zenfone 5z. The Max Pro M1 has a smooth metallic finish and not glass on the rear. Though the dual cameras are arranged in the same iPhone X style and there is a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner.
Up in front, the display is covered in glass. It has an 18:9 aspect ratio and the corners are curved. The bezels are moderately sized and ASUS could have put the fingerprint scanner in front if it wanted. The top bezel is home to the camera, sensor, earpiece, and a soft LED flash.
The power button and volume rocker can be seen on the right which means the SIM tray is on the left.
Meizu’s big day is here as the company is all set to announce three new models in its new 15 series. There are three models covering different price ranges, for example, theMeizu 15 Plusis the ultimate flagship model featuring Exynos 8895, the Meizu 15 is a slightly less powerful version with SD660 but still capable flagship, and the Meizu 15 Lite is the most affordable of the lot with decent mid-range specs.
Meizu will announce the three devices at 7.30PM Beijing time, in the beautiful city of Wuzen, often referred to as the Venice of China. We will be present at the event, so expect hands on with all the three models later today.
However, just before the official launch of the devices, the top-end Meizu 15 Plus has been leaked in all its glory on Weibo. Clear images of the most powerful handset in the series have been shared on the internet, leaving very little to our imagination. With the addition of this leak and the previous spec sheet leak, we now know everything about the top flagship model, except for its launch price.
The leaked images reveal that the Meizu 15 Plus will have very small bezels on the sides. Even the top and bottom bezels are quite thin, thereby contributing for a beautiful front design. The front also features a home button, but its round like the iPhone’s Touch ID. Expect this button to feature pressure sensitive smart gestures like the halo button found on the Meizu M6S.
To be honest, this front design reminds me of the Meizu MX2 model that was released back in 2012. I loved the MX2 back then and I’m starting to like this design too. Its simple yet beautiful.
Coming to the back, the phone features a dual camera setup with ring flash below it. I can’t personally figure out the material used on the back, but it could be glass given its glossy texture. Check out the rest of the leaked Meizu 15 Plus images below.
According to the earlier specs sheet leak, the Meizu 15 Plus will feature a 5.95-inch OLED display that supports QHD resolution. The Exynos 8895 SoC should be inside the flagship with 6 GB of RAM and 64GB / 128GB ROM. For photography, the phone is said to come with f/1. 8 aperture 12-megapixel + 20-megapixel dual camera setup. The main sensor will have a pixel size of 1.5µm. The 3500mAh battery will support mCharge 12V/2A fast charging. It will come with Flyme 7 on board.
We are just a few hours away from the official launch of the Meizu 15 trio. As mentioned earlier, we will be present at the event, so expect hands on with the new models very soon.
This isn’t our first look at the Nubia Red Magic gaming phone but you’ll agree the device comes with a design that is just so good looking. It is a bit disappointing that the Nubia Red Magic gaming phone is equipped with a Snapdragon 835 chipset which already has a successor in the more efficient Snapdragon 845. Other than that, the Red Magic has a magical touch on the design aspect which is indicative that Nubia deserves some accolades for this one.
The Nubia Red Magic gaming smartphone features a 5.99-inch Full HD+ display with an edge-to-edge 2.5D NEG T2X-1 screen, 18:9 aspect ratio and 1500:1 contrast ratio. The smartphone body is made from aluminium with an ergonomic design that is friendly for prolonged gameplay. The body design is crafted using advanced thermal modelling techniques.
On the internal design, the device is also touted to be the first smartphone to use an all-new air convection cooling system. The cooling system is designed in a way that it dissipates heat effectively across its diamond-cut design without compromising on performance. To make it stand out from the competition, the phone is branded with a distinctive RGB LED strip. Other features of the Red Magic gaming phone includes an 8GB RAM, 128GB storage, DTS Technology and Smart Amplifier system for an immersive sound experience. There is also a 6GB RAM + 64GB storage version. In addition, the smartphone runs on Android 8.1 Oreo operating system out-of-the-box and is powered by a 3,800mAh battery which can provide up to 7 hours of gameplay on a single charge.
The Nubia Red Magic Phone will be exclusively available through Indiegogo for an early-bird price of $399 starting from 23rd April. Do check out some more unboxing photos of the Nubia Gaming Phone below.
Huawei‘s Honor brand took the wraps off the Honor 10 on Friday alongside the Honor MagicBook and an avalanche of accessories. The Honor 10 is perhaps the showstopper among the lot and this could be attributed to its powerful specs lineup, premium design and the affordable pricing it adopts. The device sure looks like the Huawei P20 Pro but the price starts at just 2,599 Yuan (~$414)
The Honor 10 adorns a really impressive glass chassis that has the ability to show different colours when it is viewed from different angles. It is equipped with a notched display that offers a large screen space. Some of the other attractive features of the Honor 10 include improved AI 2.0, Kirin 970 chipset, 6 GB RAM, 128 GB storage, AI-driven dual cameras, a powerful selfie shooter, NFC, front fingerprint scanner and more.
Huawei’s launch event usually isn’t generous with clear pictures of the new device until some time later. So, these new photos of the premium flagship still exude the feel of seeing the device for the first time. Check out more of them from below. You can read our launch article for more details of the Honor 10.
ZTE has had a rough week. It got slammed with a 7-year ban that prevents it from getting components and software from American companies. That means no Qualcomm chips in its devices and possibly no Google services too for the duration of the ban.
One of its upcoming devices, the Blade V9 which was launched at this year’s MWC has appeared on TENAA which means it should launch in China and go on sale soon.
The device is listed on TENAA as the ZTE V0900. It has a 5.7” 2160 x 1080 display which gives it an 18:9 aspect ratio. It is powered by a 1.8GHz octa-core processor which is the Snapdragon 450 mobile platform.
The ZTE V9 will be available in 2GB, 3GB, and 4GB RAM variants with 32GB, 64GB, and 128GB of storage. On its rear is a 16MP sensor paired with another 5MP sensor while the front camera is an 8MP sensor.
The phone will run Android 8.1 Oreo out of the box and pack a 3,100mAh battery. It will also have support for a MicroSD card, have a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner and be available in Black, Blue, and Gold.
All these specs are impressive for a mid-range device but the big question is if the device will go on sale.
If you like new Huawei P20-series phones but can’t decide if the P20 or P20 Pro is best for you, this article may give you an answer. If you want to learn more about each device, check out our Huawei P20 review and the Huawei P20 Pro review.
First of all, the price. The P20 is cheaper as it retails for about 650 EUR, at least in Europe. The Pro model costs about 850 EUR, making it a much more expensive device. Check out the video description for product links if you are interested.
The first major difference is the camera setup.
The P20 Pro uses one of the most compelling camera systems on the market. It uses 3 cameras with a powerful 40MP shooter leading the way.
The P20 has a more conventional dual camera setup that uses Leica optics, just like the P20 Pro.
In practice, I found daylight image quality to be very similar. However, the P20 Pro excels in low light. In fact, the Pro model is one of the best smartphones when it comes to night photography. Other aspects like selfie image and video quality are nearly identical. Make sure to check out both the P20 and the P20 Pro reviews where I cover cameras in detail and follow me TechLineHD on Facebook for full resolution camera samples.
Both phones follow a similar design language but the P20 Pro is simply a more beautiful device to look at. The twilight gradient color finish makes it one of the most beautiful phones out there. However, the P20 is smaller, lighter and therefore, it’s easier to manage this phone in one hand.
Even though the display on the P20 is slightly smaller than on the P20 Pro, it sports the same resolution. The phone uses LCD panel instead of OLED but I found the quality of screen to be very good. However, the screen on the P20 Pro is better. The colors look more vibrant and punchier, and the contrast level is better.
Here a few more aspects why the P20 Pro is better than the P20: it has a better sounding dual stereo loudspeaker system whereas the P20 has only one speaker on the bottom. Also, the P20 Pro has a higher water and dust resistance rating of IP67 instead of IP53 and some extra features like an IR blaster. Finally, the P20 Pro has 6GB of RAM instead of 4 found on the P20. On the other hand, day to day and gaming performance are identical on each phone.
Battery life is definitely one of the strong sides of the new P20 series phones. Even though the P20 has a smaller power bank than the P20 Pro, it has a less power hungry display to power up. On average, I was able to achieve about 7 hours of screen-on time on each phone, which is a very impressive result.
All in all, the Huawei P20 Pro is easily a better phone but it costs about $200 more than the P20, which is also a solid flagship phone. If you want an absolutely premium phone, go with the P20 Pro. If money is more important to you, the P20 has most of the essential flagship features of the P20 Pro, for $200 less.
This was just a short comparison and if you want to learn more about each phone, make sure to check out detailed dedicated reviews where we cover all the pros and cons of each device.
Apple is rumored to be working on a successor of the iPhone SE, which could be named iPhone SE 2. Over the last few months, various leaks rumors surfaced online related to the smartphone.
Now, a new report suggests that the iPhone SE 2 could get launched somewhere around May this year. However, there’s a possibility that the Cupertino giant could come up with a different name for this device.
The new report comes from a Japanese website Macotakara which cites a case maker as its source. The report says that the next-generation iPhone SE will get launched in May. Earlier this month, Eurasian regulatory filings also suggested that the smartphone launch is just a few weeks away.
The design of the upcoming smartphone is expected to be very similar to the iPhone SE. While the iPhone is powered by Apple A9 chipset, the upcoming smartphone is said to come with Apple A10 Fusion chipset, which was released during the Apple iPhone 7-series launch. Furthermore, the report adds that the company will get rid of the 3.5mm audio jack.
The report further suggests that the Touch ID will stay in place and there won’t be the new Face ID feature. There’s also a possibility that the smartphone will come with support for wireless charging but it is not yet known if Apple opts for a glass body for this device.
Earlier, a Chinese publication reported that the iPhone SE 2 may sport a larger 4.2-inch display and added that the processor will be coupled with 2GB RAM along with 32GB and 128GB storage options. Last month, a new rumour surfaced online which suggested that the phone could be launched as an India-exclusive device.
However, Apple has not yet confirmed anything related to the next-generation iPhone SE smartphone. While Apple iPhone SE 2 is expected to get announced in May, Apple could also wait a bit longer and launch the smartphone at its Apple WWDC, which is scheduled to start from 4th June.
A recently-surfaced promotional render of the LG G7 ThinQ has shown us that the phone will have a power key located on the right side. But it will be the only physical key on the right. A new report has revealed the reason: on the left side, there will be another physical key. According to the report, this key will be used to start Google Assistant, and this highlights, even more, the focus of this handset on artificial intelligence in all its iterations.
Even though there will be a dedicated key for the virtual assistant, LG did not develop its own virtual assistant like Samsung did with its Bixby. Given that the power key will be placed on the right side, it seems that LG G7 ThinQ will not adopt a power key embedded into the fingerprint reader on the rear. But note that the fingerprint reader is still located at the back. What we hope is to see a programmable button embedded in the fingerprint reader, given that, according to reports, it will not be possible to assign other action to the physical button dedicated to Google Assistant.
Besides focusing on Google Assistant, LG G7 ThinQ will also provide smart features for the cameras, such as scene recognition. We already had a taste of them with the LG V30S and the recent update rolled out on the standard V30. According to the latest leak, LG G7 will come with a 6.1-inch display with a 19:9 aspect ratio and the MLCD+ technology. On the hardware side, we expect to see an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor running at 2.9 GHz and paired with at least 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal storage expandable via micro SD.
UPDATED: This is the Mi 6X but the Redmi S2 which is expected to pack a Snapdragon 625 chipset hence the 2.0GHz CPU frequency.
Xiaomi Mi 6X is just four days away from launch and more details continue to surface regarding the premium mid-ranger. A couple of new Mi 6X models have now been certified by China’s Telecoms regulatory agency TENAA with a specs configuration slightly different from the ones first spotted on TENAA last month.
The previous TENAA-listed Mi 6X models have a 4GB+ 64GB and 6GB + 128GB storage combinations but this new model seems to bring fluidity to the Mi 6X memory variants. According to TENAA, the new model which bears the same design as the Mi 6X is listed with the model number M1803E6E. It features a dual rear camera setup aligned vertically at the top left corner. The device also has a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor and the U-shaped antenna band design at the top and bottom edges.
The real surprise lies in the configuration as the device is equipped with a 2.0GHz Octa-core processor which definitely isn’t the Snapdragon 660. This springs up the possibility of the Mi 6X having a variant with a Snapdragon 625 chipset. The device also comes with a slightly bigger 3000mAh battery and an HD+ resolution of 1440 x 720 pixels. The new model also has a 2GB RAM, 3GB RAM and 4GB RAM variants as well as 16GB, 32GB and 64GB storage options.
The stark difference in the specification props up the likelihood that this device being an entirely different smartphone from the Mi 6X but the design makes it all confusing. Perhaps, Xiaomi wants to make the options fans have to choose from wider with the addition of these models. There is no doubt that the Mi 6X will hit the international market in due course and a wide range of options and varying prices will improve the sales prospects. We’ll find out more details when the device is launched.
The gaming phones market is growing pretty quickly. After Razer Phone, the new Nubia Red Magic and the Xiaomi Black Shark are the two new gaming smartphones to hit the shelves, and they will probably be followed by more handsets focused on this niche market. But in the meantime, let’s discover the main differences among the two. If you are a gamer and you like to play on your mobile phone, this Nubia Red Magic vs Xiaomi Black Shark specs comparison will tell you which phone is most suitable for you.

With its elaborate metal backplate, we believe the Nubia Red Devil has a more ergonomic design, providing a comfortable grip even after long sessions of gaming. But the Xiaomi Black Shark should be a better phone in terms of performance, as it features the most recent Qualcomm’s processor: the powerful octa-core Snapdragon 845 running at a max frequency of 2.8 GHz. Nubia Red Magic left many disappointed when it was revealed that it is powered by the older Snapdragon 835 which is Qualcomm’s flagship SoC for 2017. Still, there shouldn’t be a huge difference in term of performance.
Both the devices boast a cooling system, but they are different. According to Xiaomi, the air cooling system of Black Shark is able to reduce the temperature by 8° C, while Nubia Red Magic features a different type of air cooling system. Xiaomi Black Shark seems to have a slightly better camera department with a 12 + 20 MP dual camera on its back and a 20 MP selfie camera. The battery is slightly bigger on Xiaomi Black Shark and it features Quick Charge 3.0 as fast charging technology.
Keeping the specs on paper in mind, the Xiaomi Black Shark looks like a slightly better handset, but Nubia Red Magic will probably have a more affordable price if we refer to the global market. Black Shark has a launch price of about $477/€385 in China, while Nubia Red Magic will initially cost $399/€324 worldwide (it will be launched on April 26 through the crowdfunding platform Indiegogo).
ZTE Nubia Red Magic vs Xiaomi Black Shark: PROS and CONS
HMD Global had already confirmed the launch of its best 2018 phones in India a few days ago, and now the moment has come. Nokia 8 Sirocco and Nokia 7 Plus are officially up for pre-orders in the Indian peninsula. There are three sites where Indian customers can purchase the two handsets: Nokia 7 Plus is available on Amazon India, Nokia 8 Sirocco can be purchased on Flipkart, and both the handsets are available on the official store which can be reached by heading to Nokia.com. The 7 Plus has a listing price of INR 26,000 on Nokia’s official online store and Amazon India, which roughly translates into $393. Nokia 8 Sirocco costs INR 50,000 on the official store and Flipkart, that is equivalent to about $757.
Announced at the MWC 2018 in Barcelona, Nokia 8 Sirocco and Nokia 7 Plus are currently the most powerful HMD phones of 2018, even though the 7 Plus is less powerful than the standard Nokia 8 launched 2017. The first is its most important flagship and it features a 5.5-inch display with narrow bezels and a Quad HD resolution of 1440 x 2560 pixels. It boasts an octa-core Snapdragon 835 chipset from Qualcomm, 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage. It also has dual cameras with a 12 MP resolution, OIS, and Carl Zeiss lenses. Instead, Nokia 7 Plus is an upper-midrange with a 6000-series aluminium body.
It is the first 18:9 handset by HMD Global and its display has a size of 6 inches and a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2160 pixels. Under the hood, it has an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 chipset paired with 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal storage. Even this device features a 12 MP dual camera with Carl Zeiss optics, but it lacks OIS. Both the devices come with Android 8.1 Oreo installed out of the box and a stock UI experience. They have also been launched in the European market with a price tag of about €750 and €399, respectively.
According to the Turkish Samsung website, the former flagships, Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge will officially be updated to Android 8.0 Oreo soon. The update will start rolling out on May 18; however, the company had already confirmed the arrival of the update in the past but it wasn’t released as promised, so we can’t be sure of a final date. Recently, even a Support page from Verizon’s official website confirmed that Android Oreo would have been rolled out soon, but users haven’t got an update yet.
Further, even Samsung Turkey had confirmed the arrival of the update in the past: the official website mentioned April 13 as the rollout date, but today is 21st April and both Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge are still running Android Nougat. We hope that May 18 will be the right day. According to Samsung Turkey, besides Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge, even the Samsung Galaxy A-series (2017 models) will get updated to Android Oreo soon.
The website lists the 1st June as the rollout date of the update on Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, and A7 (2017). Previously, the trio was tipped to get the update on May 25, but according to the new info it has been delayed by six days. Android Oreo for each of the above-mentioned handsets will be customized by Samsung Experience 9.0 UI which will include several new features and improvements.
Xiaomi continues to tease the Mi 6X which is expected to drop on April 25 at a ceremony holding at Lei Jun’s Almer mater, Wuhan University. The main specifications of the device and its design are almost fully known, save for one or two. The Chinese giant has now revealed yet another feature of the mi 6X in a new teaser. The detail is the presence of a 6GB RAM and 128GB ROM variant.
This revelaton wouldn’t have been a surprise but for the fact that this would be the most generous memory combination we’ll be seeing in a mid-range device released by Xiaomi. The only mid-range model that had this is the Mi Note 3.
The 6GB RAM and 128GB storage coupled with a Snapdragon 660 chip would make this version an interesting option. It isn’t likely going to be more popular than the 6GB RAM + 64GB storage but it gives a better option to those who prefer more storage space. We also expect a similar configration on the global version which may be marketed as Mi A2.
The OnePlus 6 teasers are still pouring in and the latest one has to do with the design. After using metal for its last three phones, OnePlus is switching to new materials for the OnePlus 6.
A new teaser posted on the official Twitter page shows the bottom part of the OnePlus 6 and from the appearance, it seems to be covered in glass. There is also the text “Designed by OnePlus” inscribed on it.
OnePlus is one of the few manufacturers that has stuck to metal when others switched to glass. Before the OnePlus 3, its first two phones had plastic back plates. Actually, the OnePlus 6 won’t be its first phone covered in glass on both sides. That title goes to the OnePlus X.
OnePlus also wants us to know that this design is original and not a rip-off of the OPPO R15 hence the inscription at the bottom. Even with the change in materials, OnePlus assures us of the craftsmanship of the OnePlus 6.
In the tweet, OnePlus says “…new materials” not material. Our guess is that the phone may come in more than one design and glass is one of them. If you still remember, when the leaks just began pouring in, a photo of an alleged OnePlus 6 with a wood-grain back surfaced online. This may be one of the new materials. There is also a chance that there is just one and we our guess is wrong.
InFocus has launched a new smartphone in the Indian market — InFocus Vision 3 Pro, which is the successor of the Vivion 3 launched last year. The phone has been priced at Rs. 10,999 and comes in three color options — Black and Gold.
The device will be available for purchase in India exclusively through online retailer Amazon India. Key highlights of the device are that it comes with a full-screen display and a dual-camera setup at the back.
The smartphone features a 5.7-inch HD+ IPS display with screen resolution of 1440 x 720 pixels with 18:9 aspect ratio. It comes powered by MediaTek MT6750 octa-core processor coupled with 4GB RAM.
The device bears a dual rear camera setup at the back, consisting of a 13-megapixel primary sensor and an 8-megapixel secondary sensor. It comes with 120-degree wide-angle lens, f/2.0 aperture, phase detection auto-focus (PDAF), and LED flash. On the front side, there’s a 13-megapixel fixed-focus sensor with f/2.2 aperture.
It offers a ‘dualfie’ feature, which is similar to the Nokia’s Bothie feature that lets users take pictures with the front and rear cameras simultaneously. The device also enables users to further expand the phone’s storage up to 64GB using a microSD card. Connectivity options include 4G VoLTE, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth, FM radio, and GPS.
Sensors onboard the handset include an accelerometer, ambient light sensor, face unlock feature, fingerprint sensor, and proximity sensor. The phone runs on Android 7.0 Nougat operating system out-of-the-box and is powered by a 4,000mAh battery.
At this price point, the InFocus Vision 3 Pro competes against numerous budget smartphones such as Xiaomi‘s Redmi 5 and Redmi Note 5, and Huawei‘s Honor 9 Lite, among others.
We have a plethora of leaked details of OnePlus’ upcoming mobile phone – OnePlus 6. Thus, it is no wonder that there is a video render created by which gives us an idea of the design the device will adopt. The video was created by the guys at the YouTube channel, Phone Industry.
OnePlus 6 has already been confirmed as coming with a notch design on the display which is one of the features of this rendered design. The design also includes a dual camera setup at the rear located in the middle and aligned vertically. The is a dual-tone LED flash under the rear cameras as well as a rear-fingerprint sensor just after the LED flash. The device is also shown to have two modes, one which hides the display notch and a second one where the notch is visible. If you want to find out how that works, check out the video for yourself. We are not so sure about the entire design of the renders, though. OnePlus 6 may likely not look exactly like the device. However, it won’t be markedly different from what is captured in this video.
Other features of the design on these renders includes a USB Type-C port. The device may likely retain the 3.5mm audio jack if these renders are anything to go by. The power button and volume rockers are all located on the left side. The power button is accented with lava red.
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. Here’s the video below.
For a couple of weeks now, there have been reports of new Galaxy A series smartphones. Called the Galaxy A6 and Galaxy A6+, both phones are expected to be released globally.
More details of the Galaxy A6 have surfaced online and they include specifications and new info with respect to the launch and availability.
The Galaxy A6 is said to have a 5.6” HD display, 4GB of RAM, and 32GB of built-in storage which should be expandable. It will have a single 16MP rear camera with a fingerprint scanner right below it.
In front, the Galaxy A6 will pack dual cameras and one is reported to be another 16MP sensor. The source says the phone will be powered by an unnamed octa-core Exynos processor but Geekbench already revealed it is the Exynos 7870. The phone will run Android 8.0 Oreo out of the box.
Smartron, an Indian smartphone manufacturer has launched a new variant of its Smartrton t.phone P which was initially launched earlier this year in January. As the name suggests, the new model — Smartron t.phone P Gold Edition comes in Gold color. It has been priced at Rs. 7,999 (approximately $121) and will be available for purchase exclusively through Flipkart from 22nd April.
The smartphone comes with a 5.2-inch IPS HD display with screen resolution of 1,280 x 720 pixels and 2.5D curved glass protection on top. Under the hood, the device is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 435 processor which is coupled with 3GB RAM and 32GB internal storage. Smartron is also offering 1000GB of free cloud storage via its t.cloud service.
The phone’s storage capacity can further be expanded up to 128GB using a microSD card. Coming to the camera department, the device features a 13-megapixel primary camera with LED flash and f/2.2 aperture. There’s also a 5-megapixel front-facing selfie shooter with f/2.2 aperture.
Connectivity options on the t.phone P include a hybrid Nano-SIM slot, 4G VoLTE, Bluetooth, WiFi, GPS, dual-SIM and micro USB port with OTG support. There’s a fingerprint sensor placed on the back of the device for added security.
The device runs on Android Nougat operating system out-of-the-box and we are not sure if the phone will ever receive Android version update. The biggest USP of the device is its battery capacity. The device comes with a massive 5,000mAh which according to the company can provide up to two days of usage on a single charge.
Xiaomi has been pretty generous with leaks surrounding the Mi 6X which would be released on April 25. We have already seen the real design of the device as well as the camera samples from its selfie camera. The key specifications of the Mi 5X successor are also in the open already. The latest we are seeing concerning the Mi 6X are five colourful wallpapers meant for the device.
The wallpapers were shared by Xiaomi’s President Lin Bin and it should be noted that the five colours correspond to the five different colours the device will be available in. The wallpapers are all images of different species of flowers having the five different colour shades the Mi 6X is expected to be available in. As a reminder, the Mi 6X will come in Cherry Blossom Powder (Pink), Flame Red, Sand Gold, Glacier Blue and Stone Black. If you are interested in downloading or checking out the wallpapers, do find them from under the post below.
Xiaomi Mi 6X is expected to come with a beautifully designed metal body crafted using the nano-injection process. The design of the back is similar to that of the Redmi Note 5, especially the vertically-aligned dual rear cameras. The device sports a 5.99-inch display and is powered by a Snapdragon 660 chipset paired with 4GB and 6GB of RAM respectively. The device also comes with a 2910mAh battery onboard. On the camera aspect, there is a 12MP+20MP dual rear camera setup with support for AI photography while the front has a 20MP camera also with AI Beauty support.
LG, the South Korea-based electronics manufacturer is all set to launch its flagship smartphone under its G-series lineup, which is said to be called LG G7 ThinQ. Now, it appears that along with the flagship smartphone, the company is also gearing up to launch a mid-range Q-series smartphone — LG Q7.
Ahead of the official announcement from the company, the LG Q7 smartphone has been spotted on the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) website. The listing reveals that the smartphone carries model number LG LM-Q710TS.
However, the FCC listing of the smartphone has not revealed anything about the specifications and features. Recently, LG applied for a certificate with Russia-based EEC for both the upcoming devices from LG — G7 ThinQ and Q7 and the company has reportedly received the certification, hinting that the phone is close to launching.
While specs and features related to the flagship smartphone LG G7 ThinQ has already been leaked, nothing much is known about the upcoming LG Q7 apart from its name. Based on the last year’s LG Q6, we are expecting the Q7 to be the mid-range smartphone and a watered-down variant of the flagship G7 ThinQ.
The South Korean company’s upcoming flagship smartphone LG G7 ThinQ is expected to come with a notched M+ LCD display with a panel said to be “twice as bright as the G6 and significantly more colorful.” It will be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chipset and have up to 6GB of RAM. The phone is believed to feature an extra physical button to trigger an AI-enabled voice assistant.
The smartphone is expected to come with a dual rear camera setup with two 16-megapixel sensors, which will be a step up from the 16-megapixel + 13-megapixel combo setup on the LG V30. Based on the previous reports, the phone will also come with recording and playback support for HDR 10.
The South Korean company has already scheduled a launch event for LG G7 ThinQ on 2nd May in New York, followed by a domestic launch in Seoul on 3rd March. At the same launch event, the company is also expected to unveil LG Q7.
