Samsung Updates The Android Oreo Roadmap With New Smartphones and Tablets

-

Mar 13, 2018

Huawei Nova 3e is expected to launch on March 20 in China, a week before the P20 series would be unveiled in Paris on March 27. The Nova 3e had earlier been rumoured as being the same as the Huawei P20 Lite and from the look of things, that is the case. A leaked poster of the Nova 3e had earlier confirmed this assertion. Now, a leaked hands-on video featuring the Nova 3e has emerged on Weibo and sincerely it is no different from the P20 Lite’s renders we had seen in the past.

The Huawei Nova 3e is basically the P20 Lite by another name. As the saying goes, a rose by any other name would smell as sweet. So, the device still looks radiant and beautiful as seen on the video and earlier leaked poster. Since Huawei is launching the Nova model in China, it is unlikely the P20 Lite will be unveiled whenever the P20 series models hit China. This may be a repeat of the Honor 7X scenario which was launched recently in the U.S as Mate SE.

Design wise, the leaked video shows the device in all-white colour but from previous renders, the device will be available in a number of colour variants including Black. The device will come with a Glass finish similar to the Mirror finish of the Honor 8. The leaked video indeed shows the rear view with a glossy glass finish. The device is also seen to pack a vertically aligned dual rear camera setup. The cameras are located at the top left corner. There is also a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor in the middle.

The same similarity with the P20 Lite also plays out on the front view of the Nova 3e. The display is the trendy full-screen display. The stand out feature up at the front is the notch design which the device takes in order to bear some similarity with the iPhone X. We know the Apple flagship wasn’t the first to feature the notch design, the Essential Phone was. But since the debut of the iPhone X, a number of OEMs have been cooking up models with a display notch similar in all respect to the iPhone X’s.

We also expect the specifications to be similar and in that respect TENAA has gifted us the specs of the P20 Lite. In the same vein, the Nova 3e is expected to feature a 5.8-inch display with a resolution of 2280 x 1080 pixel and a 19:9 aspect ratio. The device will be powered by a Kirin 659 chip which is the same one used on the Honor 7X and Honor 9 Lite. The processor is backed by 4GB of RAM while there is 64GB of storage on the device which can be expanded up to 256GB. On the camera end, the device packs a 16MP + 2MP rear camera. The secondary rear sensor is a Bokeh camera. The device also packs a 16MP selfie shooter having Face Unlock capability. The Nova 3e (P20 Lite) will be fired up by a 3000mh battery with 18W fast charging an would run Android Oreo -based EMUI 8.0 out-of-the-box. The China-bound Nova 3e will also have HiAssistant similar to Google Assistant. Apart from the White variant on display in the leaked video, the device will be available in Black, Pink and Blue color options.

In order to improve its products, OnePlus started a new program called Open Ears Forum. The first edition was held last September in London, and served as an avenue for OnePlus to meet selected members of its community to get feedback and improvement ideas.

Last week, there was an Open Ears Forum in Hamburg, Germany, that focused on the camera. Members of the OnePlus camera team and a special guest, Kevin Abosch, met with selected fans of the brand to discuss how to improve the camera.

The meetup was split into a morning discussion segment to hear people’s opinion of the camera performance along with analysis of photos taken by attendees themselves. While an afternoon segment focused on portrait mode and how to make it better. There was also a discussion on overall camera user experience and a Q&A with Carl Pei and Becker, who is the image algorithm engineer.

Mar 13, 2018

Top benchmarking outfit AnTuTu has released a list of its top 10 highest performing smartphones for the mnt of February 2018. The list is based on models which scored the highest points on AnTuTu benchmark as at February this year. This is the second ranking that would be released by the benchmarking tool since the upgrade of its software version from V6.3.6 to v7.0.1. The first was released last month and it covers January 2018. There is n’t so much change from the list of top 10 highest performing models for January. Also, it should be noted that the ranking is only for Android smartphones and does not include iOS-powered Apple models.

Somehow, the Huawei Mate 10 Pro vacates the top spot for the Mate 10. Both models are powered by the Kirin 970-chip. The Mate 10 had a score of 214750 while the Mate 10 Pro is listed with 214707 which is relatively close. Standing at the third spot is the Huawei Honor View 10 with a score of 213,758. OnePlus 5 is the first Snapdragon 835 smartphone on the list, sitting at number 4 spot with 211210 points. The OP5 is followed by the OnePlus 5T which scored 211029 points when it was benchmarked on AnTuTu. ZTE’s Nubia Z17 occupies the number 6 spot with 208654 points. Nubia Z17s enters the ranking new, perhaps the model’s benchmark score wasn’t available last month since it isn’t a new smartphone. The Z17s edges the Xiaomi Mi 6 to occupy the seventh spot with a score of 207502 points.

Two Xiaomi flagship models are on the list, the Mi 6 and Mi Mix 2. Both models occupy the 8th and 9th spots respectively. While the Galaxy Note 8 completes the top 10 ranking with a score of 203260 points. Samsung Galaxy S8+ was on the top 10 for January but the entrance of the Nubia Z17s edged the Samsung model out of the list. Since some Snapdragon 845 models like the Galaxy S9 have already been launched and more will be announced later this month, we expect a complete overhaul of the list in March.

Unboxing Photos Show The Honor 7C Is A Well Built Device

Mar 13, 2018

There was a time that phones priced under $300 had a terrible build quality but that has changed now. With just $150, you can get a well-built phone that should serve you well, and the new Honor 7C proves that.

The Honor 7C comes in a powder blue box which as far as I can remember hasn’t changed since the days of the Honor 3C. It has the name of the phone written on top and on the sides. There are no images on the box as Honor is keeping things simple. Plus you are actually not going to go back to the box after the first day.

Inside the box is the Magic Night Black Variant, a microUSB cable, and a wall charger. The charger and cable are white and are likely the same for all color variants. The front of the Honor 7C is black just like the Aurora Blue and Red variant and the 5.99” HD+ display is covered by a 2.5D glass which gives it a premium look.

At the top sits a sensor, an 8MP front facing camera, the earpiece, and a LED flash. There is Honor’s branding on the bottom bezel. There are side bezels too but they have been kept as small as possible. Even though the display has an 18:9 aspect ratio, the phone is still big. The corners of the phone are curved to make holding it a bit more comfortable.

The back is largely made of metal save for the top and bottom where you have the antenna lines which are made of plastic. The back of the phone is also curved at the sides for better handling.

Gracing the back are slightly raised dual cameras and LED flash positioned at the top left corner, and a fingerprint scanner that sits in the upper middle part of the phone. There is also a secondary microphone above the upper antenna line.

At the bottom of the phone is a speaker grille, a microUSB cable and a 3.5mm audio jack. There are also two screws flanking the USB port. The top side is bare.

The volume rocker and power button are on the left and the triple card tray (dual nano+microSD card) is on the left.

Today, Xiaomi President Lin Bin has officially confirmed that the Redmi Note 5 will come with support for full screen gestures out-of-the-box. Also, the key specs of the Note 5 have been revealed on the official Weibo account of Xiaomi Redmi.

Lin Bin has shared a short video clip to show how full screen gestures would work on the Redmi Note 5’s 18:9 aspect ratio display. The video shows that swiping upwards from the bottom of the screen will take the user to the home screen. By sliding upwards from the bottom and pausing will show the recent apps. Swiping right or left from the edge of the screen to the center will take users to the previous page.

As it can be seen in the above image, the official Redmi Weibo account has confirmed that the handset will carry support for Face Unlock, full Netcom 5.0 and it will come preloaded with MIUI 9. It also reveals that it will include a 4,000mAh battery.

It is a known face that the Redmi Note 5 for China is rebranded version of Redmi Note 5 Pro that was launched in India in February. It is speculated that compared to the Indian model, the Chinese version will be featuring different configuration cameras. Rumors claim that it may feature 12-megapixeld dual rear cameras. One of its lenses could be the Sony IMX486 sensor.

As far as other specs of the Redmi Note 5 for China are concerned, it will be coming with a 5.99-inch FHD+ display and 20-megapixel selfie flash enabled front-facing camera. Recent reports have revealed that the Redmi Note 5 variants such as 3 GB RAM + 32 GB storage, 4 GB RAM + 64 GB storage and 6 GB RAM + 64 GB storage may arrive in China for 1199 Yuan (~$189), 1499 Yuan (~$235) and 1799 Yuan (~$285).

In related news, the latest MIUI 9.5 beta version includes support for full screen gestures. The new gestures are currently only available on full screen design smartphones from the company such as Mi MIX, MI MIX 2, Redmi Note 5 Pro, Redmi Note 5, Redmi 5 Plus and Redmi 5.

Xiaomi’s Mi Mix 2S Teaser Could Be Hinting At Multi-Frame Image Processing

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 13, 2018

Marking the end of its introductory pricing offer, Xiaomi has now increased the pricing for its Redmi 5A 2GB RAM model in India to Rs. 5,999, which roughly converts to $92.

At the time of launch, the China-based company had announced that the Redmi 5A 2GB RAM model will be available at a discounted price for Rs. 4,999 for the first 5 million units. It now seems that the company has achieved this milestone within 3 months.

However, Xiaomi has not yet confirmed whether the company has sold 5 million units. Earlier, Manu Kumar Jain, Vice President of Xiaomi and Managing Director of Xiaomi India had tweeted that the company sold 1 million units of the Redmi 5A entry-level smartphone in less than a month.

The company has announced that the Redmi 5A will now be available at its original price of Rs. 5,999 through online retailer Flipkart as well as company’s own online store in India. The 3GB RAM model is priced at Rs. 6,999 in India.
