It is exactly a week to the launch of the Huawei P20 series and there is little or nothing left that we do not already know. Earlier today, the camera specifications for the P20 Pro was revealed. It has also now appeared on Geekbench.
The Huawei P20 Pro was benchmarked yesterday as the Huawei CLT-L29 where CLT is short for Charlotte, its codename. It runs Android 8.1 Oreo and has 6GB of RAM. An unnamed 1.84GHz octa-core processor powers it but we already know it is the Kirin 970.
The phone scores 1921 points in the single core test and 6729 points in the multi-core test. These scores are not far off from those of the Mate 10 Pro which uses the same Kirin 970 processor.
HMD Global has decided to make Nokia phones available to purchase in India from the official Nokia store. By purchasing a device from the official website you will get free shipping, secure payments through various payment methods and the right to return your device within 10 days. The official “Android phones” page on the store lists all of the Android smartphones launched by HMD Global, but only some of them are actually available to purchase in India. If you head to the official store you can actually choose among these models:
The models 2, 3 and 5 are cheap low-end devices and they are priced Rs. 6,999, Rs. 9,498 and Rs. 12,499, respectively. The first comes with a 5-inch HD display and an 8 MP rear camera. Its hardware side includes a quad-core Snapdragon 212 SoC, just 1 GB of RAM and 8 GB of internal storage, but the handset has a huge battery with a 4100 mAh capacity. The model 3 has still a 5-inch HD panel, but it offers a better hardware side composed of a quad-core MediaTek MT6737 chipset, 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of storage.
On the other hand, its battery is smaller with a capacity of just 2630 mAh. Nokia 5 comes with a bigger 5.2-inch display, a more powerful octa-core Snapdragon 430 SoC, 3 GB of RAM and 16 GB of internal storage. The main camera is way better as well and the battery has a capacity of 3000 mAh. Nokia 8 is the flagship: it has a 5.3-inch Quad HD screen, a Snapdragon 835 processor, 4 GB RAM and 64 GB ROM in the available configuration. It is priced Rs. 28,999. Besides the phones, accessories are listed on the Indian official store as well, but they are not available to purchase yet. At the moment, we do not know when other HMD devices and original accessories will be available in the store. Head to the source link below to see the products on the official store.
In a district in Odisha, India, a teenage girl was killed when her phone exploded while in use. Uma Omram was on the phone with a relative when her Nokia 5233 exploded. It is said that the phone was plugged in while in use.
The explosion resulted in injuries to her hand, chest, and leg and also knocked her out. She was taken to a hospital where she passed away.
[envira-gallery id=”180285″]
HMD Global is reported to have distanced itself from the incident as the phone wasn’t manufactured by them. Truth be told, the Nokia 5233 was manufactured by the Nokia company of old.
“While we have not been able to independently verify the facts of any of these reports, we can confirm that the mobile phone in question was not manufactured or sold by HMD Global, the new home of Nokia phones, set up in 2017 to create a new range of Nokia devices,” a Nokia spokesperson is quoted to have said. Investigations as regards the incident are ongoing.
The J series is the most affordable line-up among Samsung smartphones. It includes low-end and midrange devices, and it seems that it will include a new version of Samsung Galaxy J7 as well. Until now, the J7 and its variants have been the most powerful devices in the J series, but in this year Samsung will also launch a Galaxy J8 and a J8+ which should be even better. Still, the company will not skip the J7 (2018), at least according to the American FCC.
A device identified by the model number SM-J720F has just been certified by FCC, and the model number suggests that we may be talking about the Samsung Galaxy J7 (2018). Not much has been revealed by FCC about its specs and after this certification, we only get an important detail: its dimensions. Samsung Galaxy J7 (2018) will have a width of 153 mm and a height of 76 mm. So, it will be slightly bigger than its older sibling launched in 2017. But it seems that it will also sport a slightly bigger display with a size of 5.6 inches.
According to FCC, the alleged Samsung Galaxy J7 (2018) supports FDD Band 5, Band 7, Band 38 and Band 41, alongside the Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity. These are the only details surfaced on FCC listings. At the moment we don’t know about its camera, neither its launch date and its possible listing price. But the supposed handset has already been spotted on Geekbench, even though the model number was different (SM-J737P). According to Geekbench, the device is powered by the octa-core Samsung Exynos 7885 chipset running at a frequency up to 2.2 GHz. The SoC is paired with just 2 GB of RAM, which makes us think the one spotted on Geekbench is just a cheap variant of the J7.
Along with the Lenovo S5, the China-based company also announced two other smartphones — Lenovo K5 and Lenovo K5 Play. The latest addition to the K-series of devices seems to be the budget variants of the Lenovo S5.
The Lenovo K5, which comes with a glass back, features a 5.7-inch HD+ display with screen resolution of 1440 x 720 pixels and 2.5D curved glass panel. Under the hood, it is powered by MediaTek MT6750 64-bit octa-core processor clocked at 1.5GHz along with Mali T860 GPU.
The phone packs 3GB RAM and comes with 32GB of internal memory. There’s also a microSD card slot, which enables users to expand the phone’s storage capacity up to 128GB. However, it has a Hybrid card slot, which means that user can either use a microSD card or a secondary SIM card.
Coming to the camera department, the phone features a dual camera setup at the back, consisting of a 13-megapixel primary camera lens with f/2.0 aperture and a 5-megapixel secondary lens with f/2.2 aperture. On the front, there sits a 5-megapixel snapper with f/2.0 aperture. The phone also has a fingerprint sensor at the back.
Connectivity options on the device include 4G VoLTE, WiFi 802.11 a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, and GPS. The phone is running Android 7.1 Nougat operating system out-of-the-box with ZUI 3.1 lite on top. The device is backed by a 3,000mAh battery.
On the other hand, the Lenovo K5 Play comes with the same 5.7-inch HD+ 18:9 2.5D curved glass display. However, instead of the MediaTek processor, this Play edition is powered by Qualcomm‘s Snapdragon 430 octa-core processor with Adreno 505 GPU.
This model will be available in two variants — one with 2GB RAM and 16GB internal storage while the other one with 3GB RAM and 32GB onboard storage. Further, it also supports microSD card up to 128GB for expanding storage capacity.
The phone has a dual camera setup at the back featuring a 13MP primary lens and a 2MP secondary lens. There’s also an 8MP front-facing camera for taking selfies and video calling. Along with the fingerprint sensor, this variant also comes with Face Unlock support.
Connectivity options on the K5 Plus include 4G VoLTE, WiFi 802.11 a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.2, and GPS. While the standard variant runs Android Nougat, this one comes with a newer version of Android, i.e. Android Oreo with ZUI 3.7 on top. Just like the K5, this one too is powered by a 3,000mAh battery.
The Lenovo K5 and Lenovo K5 Play will be available in three color options — Black, Grey, and Blue. The Lenovo K5 is priced at 899 Yuan (approximately $142), the pricing for the K5 Play starts at 699 Yuan, which roughly converts to $110. Both the devices are currently exclusive to China. While the registrations have already started, the K5 will go on sale from 10th April and the K5 Play will be available from 17th April.
If you have been waiting for HTC to bring its full-screen 18:9 display to the mid-range category, then you should check out the newly announced HTC Desire 12 and HTC Desire 12+.
HTC Desire 12
The Desire 12 has a 5.5” display with a 1440 x 720 resolution. It still has bezels though, so there is no elaborate design on the front. But that is not to say the Desire 12 isn’t a beauty. It is.
HTC says it has renewed its liquid surface design, giving it a new streamlined look. It is still reflective but looks really nice in all the available colors. Plus having a purple variant similar to Samsung’s Lilac Purple for the S9/S9+ is a smart move.
The Desire 12 is powered by MediaTek’s MT6739 processor with 2GB/3GB of RAM and 16GB/32GB of expandable storage. A 13MP f/2.2 camera sits at the top left corner on the back, and a 5MP f/2.4 sensor sits in front for selfies.
HTC specifically doesn’t state the version of Android the phone is running but says that it may change after a software update. So there is a chance it runs Nougat but will receive Android 8.0 Oreo soon.
There is a 2730mAh battery with no fast charging (5V/1A), a micro-USB port, Bluetooth 4.2, dual band WiFi, a 3.5mm audio jack, and dual SIM slots.
HTC Desire 12+
The Desire 12+ is bigger with its 6” display but keeps the resolution at 1440 x 720. It shares the same design as the Desire 12 but with the addition of a fingerprint scanner on its back and an extra rear camera sensor.
The Snapdragon 450 is the chipset of choice here. There is also 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage which can be expanded by up to an additional 2TB.
On the back is a 13MP + 2MP combo. There is PDAF, face detection, panorama mode, and bokeh mode. The 8MP front camera also has a beauty mode and even has its own LED flash.
Unlike the Desire 12, HTC proudly announces that the Desire 12+ runs Android 8.0 with HTC Sense. Surprisingly, the spec sheet shows the Desire 12+ only supports 2.4GHz WiFi. It also has dual SIM support (nano only), Bluetooth 4.2, and a 3.5mm audio jack.
Powering the large display is a 2965mAh battery which charges slightly faster at 5V/1.5A via a micro-USB port.
Meizu is expected to launch the Meizu 15, 15 Plus and 15 Lite smartphones in April. The founder of Meizu Huang Zhang has recently claimed that the Meizu 16 series will launch around August this year.
Without revealing information on the specs of the Meizu 16 series, Zhang stated that the Meizu 15’s successor will be a futuristic device. It seems that the founder is himself overseeing the manufacturing of the Meizu 16 series.
The rumor mill has been revealing conflicting information on the specs of the Meizu 15 trio and there is virtually no information available on the Meizu 16 series that is expected to arrive later this year. Will it feature Snapdragon 845 chipset? Few weeks ago, Meizu VP Li Nan had confirmed that the company would be launching the Meizu X2 driven by SD845 at the end of this year. It is pegged to arrive with a pricing of 2,999 Yuan. So, it may not feature the SD845 chip.
Meanwhile, the arrival of the Meizu 15, 15 Plus and 15 Lite is getting closer as these handsets have reportedly received 3C certification in China. However, the company is yet confirm on the launch date of Meizu 15 series. The probable reason behind it is that the company is busy preparing the launch of the Meizu E3 phone.
The Chinese manufacturer will be launching the Meizu E3 tomorrow. Its rumored specs include 5.99-inch FHD+ display, Snapdragon 636 chipset, 4 GB and 6 GB RAM variants, 32 GB and 128 GB storage models, 3,300mAh battery and side-mounted fingerprint scanner. Leaked photos have revealed that it may arrive in black and gold color options.
Huawei, teaming up with Linaro has launched the HiKey 970 AI development platform. The HiKey 970 was announced on March 19 at the Linaro Developer Conference in Hong Kong. The Rasberry Pi look-alike is built based on Huawei’s Hisilicon Kirin 970 chipset, the world’s first AI mobile processing platform integrated with a dedicated Neural Processing Unit (NPU).
The HiKey 970 97Boards are designed as alternatives to Raspberry Pi, using ARM mobile technology specifically for Android developers. The HiKey board is designed for creating apps, particularly on Android devices. Google designed the phone to be able to run on multiple architectures and the Linaro products are typically geared towards ARM-based system-on-chips, making it compatible with the handsets. They use the same operating chip as the Huawei Mate 10, meaning their operational power is said to be that of a high-end smartphone. It also comes with Huawei’s HiAI SDK.
It comes with a higher computing power and richer hardware interfaces. It also supports mainstream operating systems and artificial intelligence stacks. Its energy efficiency is up to 50 times more than that of CPU operations while the performance is up to 25 times more. The board also has an heterogenous resource management and is also integrated with a dedicated NPU just like the Kirin 970. Thus, it enables developers to develop deep learning algorithms, smart robots, automobile software and smart cities.
The HiKey 970 development board will be open to developers for sale in mid-April but the price is yet to be disclosed. However, we don’t expect it to be less than the $239 price tag the HiKey 960 adopted.
Lenovo-owned Motorola is gearing up to launch three new smartphones under its entry-level E-series of devices. The phones are said to have been named Moto E5, E5 Plus, and E5 Play. Earlier, Evan Blass shared the press renders of the phone and now, the live photos of the upcoming Moto E5 Plus have leaked online, showing us the phone’s design.
In terms of design, the phone resembles its predecessor — Moto E4 Plus. There are no major design changes. The leaked image shows that the smartphone will come with the full-screen display having 18:9 aspect ratio, which is currently the trend. The display is surrounded by narrow bezels on both sides — left and right, and thin bezels on top and bottom.
The photo also shows the phone’s back panel, revealing that the camera module will be placed in the company’s usual ring-like design. It also appears that there will be another sensor along with the camera sensor, which we speculate to be a depth sensor for creating a bokeh-type effect. Below the camera module, there’s a fingerprint sensor which also carries the brand logo.
The Moto E5 Plus will be an advanced model in this Moto E5-series compared to the E5 and E5 Play. It will also become the first smartphone from Motorola to arrive with an 18:9 aspect ratio display.
Previous leaks related to the mobile have revealed that the phone will feature a 5.8-inch IPS LCD display with screen resolution of 720 x 1440 pixels. It will pack 3GB RAM and will have two options — 32GB and 64GB.
The phone is said to come with a 16-megapixel camera at the back having f/1.75 aperture. For shooting selfies, it will be coming with an 8-megapixel camera with f/2.0 aperture. The phone is also expected to feature a behemoth battery of 5,000mAh.
Currently, there is no information available regarding the phone’s launch date, pricing, and availability. Last year, the Moto E4 series was unveiled in June last year so we are expecting the Moto E5 series to debut at some point in the second quarter this year.
Last year in November, Smartisan had launched the Snapdragon powered Smartisan Nut 2 Pro. Fresh information reveals that the company may launch a mid-range and affordable version of Nut 2 Pro soon. Previous leaks have revealed that a mysterious Smartisan phone that is codenamed as Oscar may arrive in the market as Smartisan Nut 2. Previous rumors had claimed that the Nut 2 may launch in this month, but newer information states that the handset may get unveiled in the coming month.
New information states that Smartisan Nut 2 may feature the Snapdragon 636 which is the same SoC that powers the Redmi Note 5 and the upcoming Meizu E3. It is speculated that the Nut 2 won’t be arriving with an 18:9 aspect ratio display. This suggests that the smartphone will be sport a different aspect ratio. Following is a leaked photo that shows the alleged Smartisan Nut 2.
The above image shows that the Nut 2 has a thicker bottom bezel while its remaining bezels appear thin. The design of the phone appears similar to the Mi MIX 2. The thick bottom bezel on the Nut 2 features a physical home button that seems to be embedded with a fingerprint scanner.
The Smartisan Nut 2 is rumored to be fueled by a 3,000mAh battery. Its SD636 is likely to be assisted by 4 GB of RAM. It may come in storage models like 32 GB, 64 GB and 128 GB. These models are speculated to be respectively priced at 1,599 Yuan (~$252), 1,799 Yuan (~$284) and 1,999 Yuan (~$315). The Nut 2 may launch on April 9.
The Chinese manufacturer is also rumored to be working on Smartisan T3. A recent report had revealed that the upcoming T3 phone will be arriving with IPS LCD screen with a notch and horizontally arranged dual rear cameras. It is speculated to be driven by Snapdragon 845.
More information on the Smartisan Nut 2 and Smartisan T3 phones are expected to surface in the coming weeks.

Yesterday, OPPO had launched the OPPO R15 and OPPO R15 Dream Mirror smartphones. On the same day, Vivo had also launched the Vivo X21 smartphone and its under-display fingerprint variant. The upcoming OnePlus 6 is expected to borrow design and some features from the Oppo R15 and Vivo X21 since these three brands belong to the parent company named BBK Electronics. In December, the rumor mill had claimed that the OnePlus 6 may arrive with under-display fingerprint scanner. After launching the Vivo X20 UD, Vivo APEX flagship phone and Vivo X21 UD with under-display fingerprint scanner, it seems that the OnePlus 6 may arrive with the advanced fingerprint scanning technology. Also, the OP6 may feature 3D face scanning feature like the Vivo X21.
The OnePlus 6 is rumored to arrive with a larger screen-to-body ratio than the predecessor model. Like the Oppo R15, the OnePlus 6 may feature a notched display that offers a screen-to-body ratio of 90-percent. The evidence of the notched design for the OnePlus 6 was recently spotted in its firmware files. Also, the screenshots of the AnTuTu app showing the benchmark scores of OnePlus 6 had also revealed an empty at its topside which again hinted that it would be arriving with a notch enabled display. This indicates that the OnePlus 6 may deliver an aspect ratio of 19:9 and FHD+ resolution of 2280 x 1080 pixels.
The Snapdragon 845 chipset is likely to power the OnePlus 6. Like the predecessor model, the 64 GB and 128 GB storage models may feature 6 GB and 8 GB of RAM. A recent report has revealed that the handset may carry support for super-fast LTE gigabit connectivity.
The OnePlus 5T that was launched in the last quarter of 2017 is the first phone from the company to come with Face Unlock feature. The OP6 may arrive with an advanced face scanning feature this year. The Vivo X21 has an IR emitter apart from the 12-megapixel selfie camera. It may not be as advanced the Face ID 3D facial recognition feature available on the iPhone X as it is also equipped with a fingerprint scanner. However, it seems to be a good hint that the OP6 may also arrive with some sort of 3D face scanning feature.
There are no details on the other specs of the OP6. However, since the OnePlus flagship is speculated to debut in June this year, the rumor mill is likely to reveal more information on it in the coming weeks.

Do you remember the Nokia Lumia 1020? It was famous for having a 41MP rear camera. The Huawei P20 Pro has a 40MP rear sensor which is impressive too but the Lumia 1020 is still the champ. What if we added another 8MP camera to the P20 Pro? Cool, right? Oh! Here’s another 20MP camera. Do we have your attention now?
The above is the camera configuration for the Huawei P20 Pro according to reports from Winfuture.de. The camera specs of the P20 Pro have remained a mystery until now. And with this leak, one can say Huawei is setting multiple records in the mobile industry.
So how do the cameras work? The Leica co-developed sensors are arranged in this fashion – 40MP + 8MP dual sensors in the same housing and a third “standalone” 20MP camera.
Huawei says the phone can achieve up to 5x magnification via what it calls Hybrid Zoom. Actually, the main 40MP camera has just 3x zoom but when combined with the additional details captured by the secondary 8MP telephoto lens, the phone achieves 5x zoom. We should get a better explanation when the phone launches.
What about the 20MP sensor standing alone? It is reported that it is a monochrome camera which is usually the second camera in Huawei’s older flagship dual camera phones.
The apertures for the three sensors are said to be between f/1.6 and f/2.4. It is also reported that Huawei is announcing a new camera feature called Light Fusion. There is no explanation for how Light Fusion works but we presume it has something to do with better low-light photography. There is also an IR-RGB sensor and a laser-focus module on the back.
The Huawei P20 Pro will also have a 24MP selfie camera like the Huawei P20. The front camera will also have the Light Fusion feature.
The P20 Pro will come with a 6.1” OLED display with a 2240 x 1080 resolution and a 19:9 aspect ratio. It has a notch at the top which is home to the sensor, earpiece, and the front camera. Although the screen stretches to the top of the phone, the bottom part has a bezel which is home to a fingerprint scanner.
The Huawei P20 Pro will be powered by the Kirin 970 chip which has a NPU (Neural Processing Unit) for handling AI tasks. In Europe, the phone will be available with 6GB RAM and 128GB of storage. Other markets are said to get a 256GB version too.
The phone has a 4,000mAh battery with support for Huawei’s SuperCharge fast charging technology. There is also gigabit WIFI, Bluetooth 4.2 (not 5.0), NFC, and a total of 28 supported LTE bands, which means it should work in any part of the world.
