Feb 7, 2018

Even though most of the top smartphone companies have updated their main handsets to Android Oreo, the new version of the operating system still hasn’t made its debut on Samsung devices. Even Galaxy A8 which is the latest phone unveiled by the company in December 2017 has Android Nougat out of the box. While we are yet to see the latest version on the main flagships by the company, some guys from XDA Developers made a list of the Galaxy devices which will be probably updated to Android Oreo.

The list is based on some XML files found in the Oreo beta firmware for the Note 8, containing the code names of the handsets. While the list is not a final proof of the arrival of the update to Android Oreo for the devices, if we consider the current info and the history of previous updates it is very likely that the handsets listed will receive the update. The Samsung devices contained in the list are Galaxy A3 (2017), Galaxy A5 (2017), Galaxy A7 (2017), Galaxy A8 (2016), Galaxy A8 (2018), Galaxy A8+ (2018), Galaxy J3 (2017), Galaxy J5 (2017), Galaxy J7 (2017), Galaxy J7+, Galaxy J7 Duos (2017), Galaxy J7 Max, Galaxy J7 Neo, Galaxy J7 Prime, Galaxy Note FE, Galaxy Note 8, Galaxy S7, Galaxy S7 Edge, Galaxy S8 Active, Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+.

Huawei To Attend MWC 2018 Even Though There Will Be No P11/P20

By

-

Feb 6, 2018

Huawei has already confirmed that this year, unlike previous years, it will not unveil its most important flagship P11/P20 (the name is still unconfirmed) at Mobile World Congress. But this does not mean that the Chinese leader in the smartphones market will not attend the most important trade show of the year related to mobile devices. According to a new official post published on the microblogging platform Weibo, the company will be present at MWC 2018 in Barcelona and it will unveil new products as well.

The most reliable hypotheses suggest that Huawei might launch a new tablet. The Chinese giant is one of the leading companies in the tablets market, and several leaks about the MediaPad M5 surfaced in the past few days. It was recently spotted on Geekbench with an octa-core Kirin 960 SoC (the same as Huawei P10), 4 GB of RAM and Android Oreo installed. It is expected to sport a 8.4-inch panel with a Quad HD resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels and LTE connectivity thanks to a Cat. 4 LTE modem and, obviously, a SIM Card slot.

The company might also decide to announce a new payment system for Europe: Huawei Pay. According to other rumors, we may see the Huawei Watch 3, the successor of the Watch 2, with Android Wear 2.0. A new patent has been just filed at WIPO, and it is related to a smartwatch able to track the movements of the finger outside of the display, allowing the user to write or draw gestures in the hair or on the back of the hand. Huawei may also decide to unveil new Windows tablets from the MateBook series, which would be direct competitors of the Microsoft Surface line composed of the Suface Pro, Surface Book 2 and Surface Laptop.

Which products do you think Huawei will unveil in Barcelona?

Upcoming Huawei Smartwatch May Accept Gestures In The Air: New Patent Filed!

By

-

Feb 6, 2018

Small display on smartwatches have always been an issue. In a world where apps are becoming more complex and displays getting bigger, smartwatches are not getting too much attention. But Huawei may be coming with a solution to this problem as it has filed a new patent which may totally change the situation. The patent has been filed at WIPO (World Intellectual Property Organization) and it shows an innovative technology.

According to the images published, the Huawei smartwatch is equipped with a sensor that is able to project signals which can track the movement of the finger outside of the display. This Huawei smartwatch interacts with the user by tapping, writing, and drawing gestures both in the air and on the back of its hand. It seems that the projection can be done all around the smartwatch, with the back of the hand being the most comfortable position. Double-clicks, long-press and many other gestures become available out of the screen with this new technology, even though we still do not know if the smartwatch will be able to project the entire display out of the screen or whether its just a sort of a trackpad.

The tech inside the watch can accept gestures in letters too, as seen in one of the images where the user draws the letter ‘A’. This could be the future of the smartwatches and it may give a new life to a market which is slowly declining in favor of smart bands and other kinds of fitness trackers. According to rumors, we may see this technology on the next wearable by the company, which may even be the Huawei Watch 3 with Android Wear. Obviously, do not expect an affordable price, if this tech makes it to the market.

Samsung Galaxy S10 Might Not Be The Name Of Any 2019 Samsung Flagship

By

-

Feb 6, 2018

Samsung is releasing its main flagship under the S-series since 2010, the epic year in which the Galaxy S was officially unveiled. At the end of this month, on February 25, the Korean giant will officially announce the 9th generation: Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9+, which should later be followed by the S9 Active. But according to a report from Korea, the S9 may be the last flagship from the S-series and there will not be a Samsung Galaxy S10.

The Korean company is rumored to adopt a new naming scheme for its flagships. To be accurate, the Samsung Galaxy S10 series is expected to be renamed to Samsung Galaxy X. It would be a perfect answer to the Apple iPhone X, and this is likely to avoid long names such as Galaxy S11 and S12 for its next flagships, which might not be the best names for a high-end device.

Until now, Samsung Galaxy X was rumored to be the first phone with a foldable display by the company, but we doubt that the Korean giant is planning to replace Samsung Galaxy S10 with such a phone.

Do you think Galaxy S11 or S10 is a good name for a flagship?

Feb 6, 2018

Smartmi is best known as the manufacturer behind Xiaomi’s Mi Air Purifier line as well as the more recent Air Conditioner. Today, the company unveiled three new products – the Smartmi Heater, Smartmi Humidifier, and the Smartmi Car Inverter.

Smartmi Heater and Humidifier

The heater and humidifier are sort of like the last two pieces of the puzzle. Since the brand already has an air purifier and air conditioner, it only makes sense that a heater and humidifier should follow.

The heater will go on sale on February 7 at 10:00 AM for ¥269 (~$43). Registrations for the humidifier which has a 4L water capacity and is priced at ¥499 (~$79) begins on the same day while sale will commence on February 11.

Smartmi Car Inverter

The Smartmi Car Inverter is for those who are usually on the go most times and need to charge their AC-powered devices. The inverter converts your car’s 12V power into 220V for charging your gadgets. It has two power outlets and a USB output port on one end and a cigarette lighter plug at the other end.

Feb 6, 2018

In what appears to be a major change in tradition, Xiaomi is reported to be working on two flagships for the first half of the year. Other than the Mi 7 which should naturally be the next flagship, there have been rumors and leaks about another flagship – the Mi MIX 2S.

According to what we have learnt so far, the Mi MIX 2S will be a more powerful variant of the Mi MIX 2 as it will be driven by the Snapdragon 845 processor. Some sources have even said it will be the first Snapdragon 845 phone in the world and that is because Xiaomi will be launching it before MWC 2018.

The news today is that the MIX 2S has been benchmarked on AnTuTu. A screenshot of the benchmark result was shared on Twitter by leaker @Universeice.

Xiaomi’s upcoming flagship scored a total of 270,461 points which is a sum of the CPU, GPU, UX, and memory score. Although the device is not listed as Mi MIX 2s but instead as Polaris which is the codename of the device.

Leaked images of the Mi MIX 2S shows the phone will feature an iPhone X-styled notch. It is reported to also come with face recognition.

Feb 6, 2018

Three unidentified Huawei smartphones have appeared on TENAA. Since two of them have similar model number and appeal, they seem to be variants of an upcoming Huawei phone while the third one seems to be a different smartphone. It is speculated that these two phones may arrive in the market as Huawei Nova 3, Nova 3 Plus and Y3/Y5 2018.

[envira-gallery id=”171857″] [envira-gallery id=”171852″]

The design of the Huawei FLA-AL00 and FLA-TL10 are quite similar. The appearance of the dual camera setup looks similar to the Huawei Nova 2Nova 2 series phones. Hence, these variants are speculated to debut as Nova 3 and Nova 3 Plus. The AL00 Huawei phones are usually made available through China Unicom whereas the TL00 variants are sold through either China Mobile or China Telecom in the home country. Hence, the FLA-AL00 and FLA-TL10 could be the carrier variants of the Nova 3.

The Huawei LDN-TL00 is speculated to be the successor of Huawei Y3 or Y5 2017 smartphones from last year. Since the Huawei Y5 2017 was unveiled in April and the Nova 2, Nova 2 Plus, Y3 2017 phones were launched in May, it is speculated that the their successor models may arrive early in the second quarter of this year.

[envira-gallery id=”171847″]

All three upcoming Huawei phones seem to support 18:9 aspect ratio supporting screen. The rear sides of these phones are flanked with dual cameras and fingerprint reader. The appearance of the dual camera setup on the Y3/Y5 2018 looks different from Nova 3 and 3 Plus. The Y3/Y5 2018 seems to feature single front camera whereas the Nova 3 models have dual selfie snappers. These phones are likely to carry support to for dual-SIM and arrive preinstalled with Android 8.0 Oreo and EMUI 8.0.

We advise our readers to digest this report with a pinch of salt. The identify of the above phones can be guessed properly only when their TENAA listing are updated with specs.

Vivo’s Mysterious Phone Spotted with Near 100% Screen-to-Body; Lacks Selfie Camera but Seems to House Flip-Up Rear Camera

By

-

Feb 6, 2018

Apple and Samsung are reportedly struggling to launch smartphones with under-display fingerprint. However, China’s Vivo has already the world’s first in-screen fingerprint scanner phone – the Vivo X20 Plus UD in collaboration with Synaptics. A leaked photo of a mysterious Vivo phone that has appeared on Weibo suggests that it will be offering a very high screen-to-body ratio along with in-display fingerprint scanner.

There is no information available on the specifications and the name of the mysterious Vivo phone that has appeared in the leaked photo. Expect for a slightly thick bottom bezel, the remaining bezels of the phone appears quite thin. This indicates that the handset will be delivering a screen-to-body ratio of more than 95 percent. The exact of the screen is not known, but it is likely to offer 18:9 aspect ratio as the screen has an elongated appeal. The Chinese smartphone manufacturer is likely to embed the fingerprint scanner under the display of the phone.

Since the top bezel is very thin, it does not seem to feature selfie camera, earpiece or any other sensor. The Mi MIX 2 smartphone has the selfie camera located on the bottom bezel. However, the selfie camera does not appear to be present on the bottom of the mysterious Vivo. The absence of the frontal snapper makes us doubt on authenticity of the photo.

Selfie camera has become an integral feature of today’s smartphones. Hence, it does not seem that Vivo will be axing the feature on the mysterious phone. It may feature only a single rear camera that may double as a frontal shooter. The Honor 7i smartphone that was released in August 2015 did not feature a front-facing camera. Instead the flip-up functionality of the rear camera allowed its users to use it as a selfie camera.

The recently spotted Doogee Mix 3 also lacks a selfie camera. However, its rear camera can be lifted up to function as a selfie camera.

With Chinese smartphone manufacturers trying to find ways to launch phones with slimmer bezels, it seems possible that Vivo may launch a smartphone with new flip-up technology camera.

Do you think that the mysterious Vivo phone would be arriving with a sliding camera? Share us your views by posting your comments below.
