Mar 13, 2018

The Xiaomi Mi Mix 2s is expected to be just a slight upgrade to the Mi Mix 2 but it is turning out to be much more. We have seen several official teasers of the device and ahead of the March 27 launch, Xiaomi has continued to release more teasers. The latest teaser seems to be connected to the dual rear cameras.

The teasers, two in number, were shared by Xiaomi on the official Mi phone Weibo page and these ones aren’t pretty straightforward. From the look of things and the few texts on the posters, the new feature seems to be about a new feature of the dual cameras. Most of the comments on both Weibo posts point at multi-frame image processing. This same feature was utilized on the Galaxy S8 and S8+ as well as the Google Pixel and Pixel XL. In case you are wondering how the multi-frame imaging processing works, here’s how. It ensures bright and clear photographs in nearly every environment, including low light conditions. With this technology, the camera takes three photos – instead of just one – then selects the clearest image and uses the other two to reduce the blur. This results in a vividly clear image with reduced noise and sharper detail.

The Mi Mix 2s is expected to pack a dual camera setup aligned vertically. The cameras will come with artificial intelligence and we expect the main sensor to be a 12MP Sony IMX363 sensor. As a reminder, the device will sport a 6.01-inch FHD+ OLED Display likely supplied by Samsung with an 18:9 aspect ratio. The device will be powered by a Snapdragon 845 chip paired with a 6GB RAM on the standard version and an 8GB RAM on the topmost version. The Mix 2s is also expected to pack a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor and a ceramic body among other features.

Mar 12, 2018

A couple of days ago, Huawei launched its new smartphone Huawei Y9 2018, which is the successor of the Huawei Y9 launched last year. Now, it seems that the company is preparing to launch yet another smartphone in the Y-series — Huawei Y7 2018.

Contrary to previous reports that suggested that the Huawei Y9 2018 could be the replacement of the Huawei Y7, the press renders of the upcoming Huawei Y7 2018 has surfaced online, indicating that the next-generation Y7-series smartphone is on its way.

The leaked press render of the Huawei Y7 2018 shows that the phone will come with the trendy full-screen display with 18:9 aspect ratio. While the screen size is not known, it seems to be bigger than the 5.5-inch display present on the last year’s Huawei Y7.

The image also shows that there will be single-camera on the back side of 13-megapixel along with an LED flash. The camera module is placed on the top-left corner. Because of the full-screen display, the fingerprint sensor is mounted on the back.

It seems that there will be a 3.5mm audio jack present on the phone. Given that the recently launched Huawei Y9 2018 comes with a microUSB slot for charging, we expect the same for this one too instead of a USB Type-C port.

Currently, there’s no more information available regarding the phone’s specifications, pricing, and availability. The company has not yet officially announced anything related to this phone. But given that the Y9 2018 has already been launched, we expect this phone to launch soon.

To recap, the Huawei Y7 was launched last year, featuring a 5.5-inch display with 2.5D glass. The phone is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 450 processor with 2GB RAM and 16GB of built-in storage. It comes with a 12-megapixel camera sensor at the back and an 8-megapixel front-facing shooter. For connectivity, there’s Bluetooth v4.1, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, GPS, and microUSB port. It runs EMUI 5.1 based on Android Nougat operating system and packs a 4,000mAh battery.

Just like last year, Microsoft partnered with Samsung and launched a customized version of the Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9+. The customized versions are now available for pre-orders on Microsoft Store. These variants do not run Windows 10 Mobile, but they are customized with the best Microsoft apps for Android. According to a spokesman from the Redmond giant, once you power on the phone and connect to Wi-Fi network, a “Microsoft Customization” will start to include Microsoft apps in the software. The apps included in the package are OneDrive, Excel, Skype, Word, OneNote, Cortana, Outlook, and Microsoft Launcher.

Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9+ are available on Microsoft Store in their unlocked versions and they can be pre-ordered with free shipping in the U.S. According to the official pages, the handsets will start shipping starting from March 16. The price for the standard version of Samsung Galaxy S9 is $720, while the Plus version is priced $840. These variants may be very useful to users who care about productivity and own a Windows 10 PC which they use for work. Also, keep in mind that Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus can also be transformed into PCs thanks to DeX Pad, and using apps like docs on such a device would be even more useful.

Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9+ models come with way better camera featuring variable apertures (from f/1.5 to f/2.4). The Plus variant also comes with a dual camera setup, and in both versions, the fingerprint scanner has been placed in a more comfortable position. The devices obviously come with a more powerful SoC (Samsung Exynos 9810 for the EU variant and Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 for the U.S. version).

ASUS Zenfone 5 Max With Snapdragon 660 and 4GB RAM Spotted On Geekbench

Asus officially showcased its new Zenfone 5 series at MWC 2018, but an important variant has been missing from the list: the Asus Zenfone 5 Max. The versions announced were Zenfone 5, 5Z and 5 Lite: the first is a midrange device focused on the quality-price ratio, the second is the flagship version and the third is the budget one. Asus decided not to disclose the Zenfone 5 Max at MWC this year which should be an affordable version focused on battery life, but it has just been spotted on Geekbench with the model number X00QD. The benchmarking platform has revealed the main hardware specs of the device and they are surprising.

Asus Zenfone 5 Max sports the best Qualcomm upper mid-range chipset: the octa-core Snapdragon 660 running at a max frequency of 2.2 GHz. The SoC is supported by 4 GB of RAM, and the operating system installed is Android 8.0 Oreo. The presence of the Snapdragon 660 SoC is totally unexpected and it is an incredible thing if we consider that the Zenfone Max devices from the previous generations had low-end MediaTek chipsets. The score obtained by the alleged Asus Zenfone 5 Max on Geekbench are 1518 points in single-core and 5386 points in multi-core.

The result is similar to the one obtained by Vivo X20 Plus and other smartphones with Snapdragon 660 SoC inside. It seems that Asus Zenfone 5 Max will not be a typical mid-range device but an upper mid-ranger with great performance. If the price remains affordable and the battery as big as the ones on its predecessors, this device may become a best-buy in its range. Unfortunately, no other specs have been revealed by the benchmarking platform. We do not know when this device will be officially announced by the Taiwanese giant, nor do we know its launch price. At the moment, we just know that the handset has been recently certified by Wi-Fi Alliance.

Meizu E3 Kumamon Bear Customized Edition Confirmed, Also Launching March 21

Mar 12, 2018

Last week a sketchy picture of a Meizu smartphone having the Kumamon Bear drawn on the rear cover emerged and the model was rumoured as launching alongside the standard Meizu E3 version. Now, that rumour has gotten some confirmation as Meizu has released a poster which strongly suggests the Meizu E3 Kumamon Bear Customized Edition would be launched on March 21.

Kumamon is a popular mascot created by the government of Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan. It was created in 2010 for a campaign kickstarted to draw tourists to the region after the opening of a new rail line. Kumamon subsequently became nationally popular, and in late 2011, was voted top in a nationwide competition of mascots. The bear mascot is also a very popular icon in China and other Asian countries. Kumamon has also been a money spinner as a result of merchandising revenue. The government of Kumamoto in January this year announced moves to allow foreign companies use the bear’s image rights on their products and that is what Meizu seems to be doing. Also, it is 8 years since the mascot was first unveiled. So the Meizu E3 Kumamon edition could be to celebrate its 8th anniversary.

The poster which was spotted on Meizu’s Blue Charm official Weibo poster is designed using the three colours, White, Black and Red with which the bear is usually designed. It also contains an image which looks like a caricature of the mascot. Most of the comments on the page suggest this is the Kumamon custom edition of the E3 and Meizu Blue Charm also confirmed that the comments are correct. We expect this version to come with the same specifications as the standard edition. The difference may likely just be the Kumamon mascot’s design on the back casing and perhaps in the theme.
