Just before the end of 2017, Apple revealed that it purposely slowed down older iPhones to prevent the batteries from shutting down abruptly. Expect owners to get mad at the revelation. In order to placate users, Apple announced it had reduced battery replacement costs from $79 to $29. However, iPhone 6 Plus users may be getting a better deal.
An internal Apple memo sent to authorized service providers last week revealed that iPhone 6 Plus owners may get upgraded to the iPhone 6s Plus. The reason for that, according to Macrumors who first reported the news, is likely due to a shortage of iPhone 6 Plus replacement batteries.
An earlier report already revealed that Apple has stopped manufacturing the iPhone 6 Plus. Since it would take some time to restart production of the phone and battery, Apple will substitute the phone for the iPhone 6s Plus instead.
However, this will only go on until the end of March 2018 as battery replacements are expected to be back in stock by April. There is still no info as to how Apple will determine if you get the upgrade or which models of the phone are eligible.
If you own an iPhone 6 Plus which needs a battery replacement, it is suggested you check out a Genius Bar to know if that will warrant an upgrade or you may be required to wait till April.
Last year, Sony’s Xperia XZ Premium flagship launched with a camera that could record slow-motion HD videos at 960fps. Although it could only record in that mode for a few mili-seconds. Samsung’s Galaxy S9 series may be coming with slo-motion at a higher resolution albeit at a slower frame rate.
Samsung today unveiled its new ISOCELL sensors that can record slo-motion videos at 1080p resolution but at 480fps. This is half the frame rate of the Xperia XZ Premium but at a higher resolution. There are speculations that the sensor should be able to shoot slo-mo at 720p/960fps too.
Slo-motion recording is not the only feature of Samsung’s new ISOCELL sensors. Low-light photography is set to get better too. The sensor uses Bright’s Tetracell technology which combines four-neighboring pixels to serve as one large pixel. It will also use a Smart WDR feature to take multiple exposures in a single shot. This results in a picture with greater detail for both light and dark areas.
Focusing gets a boost too. The new ISOCELL sensor features advanced PDAF such as Dual Pixel and Super Phase Detection (Super PD) sensor. These sensors can identify the distance of fast-moving objects even in low-light conditions. There is also a 3-stack Fast Readout Sensor for high-speed capture in FHD video.
While we are waiting for the alleged Nokia 9 to show up at MWC 2018 in Barcelona, the first rumors about Nokia 10 have already started to surface. The first image regarding this device has been posted on Baidu: it is a schematic image which shows the rear camera of the alleged flagship that will be launched by HMD Global in H2 2018. According to the image, the handset sports a revolver-like camera which is composed of six sensors in a circular configuration. At the center of the circle, there seems to be a LED flash, while each of the sensors seems to be coupled with a secondary flash LED.
Under the incredible camera setup of the Nokia 10, there is a fingerprint reader which makes us think that it will be not embedded in the display through the latest chip announced by Synaptics. Note that this is not an official image and we cannot guarantee its authenticity. In fact, it would really be hard to get a design like this in a commercial smartphone, but it’s definitely worth checking out the schematics of such a design.
If such a design exists, then the lens should obviously be co-developed with Zeiss, as the company has collaborated with Zeiss since the age of feature phones and it has renewed the cooperation in the second half of 2017. Other rumored specs of the alleged Nokia 10 include the presence of an 18:9 display with narrow bezels, just like most of the most important flagships launched in the last year.
Under the hood, the phone is expected to feature an octa-core Snapdragon 845 SoC, which is the most powerful mobile chip launched by Qualcomm. It is composed of 8x Kryo 385 CPUs running at a max frequency of 2.8 GHz and an Adreno 630 GPU. It also has a dedicated module for artificial intelligence and machine learning, and it includes a Qualcomm Snapdragon X20 LTE modem which can reach a max download speed of 2.2 Gbps.
Well, this Nokia 10 back schematic is definitely something that’s out of a dream concept design. So, do you think such a design is possible in a real smartphone?
Sony has showcased its new line-up of midrange devices at CES 2018 in Las Vegas and they are slowly going on sale all around the world. Now, it is the turn of Sweden, Denmark, and Finland, to get the Sony Xperia XA2 Ultra. The most powerful device from the trio launched at the Consumer Electronics Show this year, the XA2 Ultra been made available for pre-orders in these two nations, and it will be officially available to purchase starting from February 1.
Unfortunately, we do not know when the rest of the phones launched at CES will hit these markets, as there is still no official info in regards. Sony Xperia XA2 Ultra is now available to pre-order in Sweden with a price tag of SEK 4,000, that roughly translates into €407. In Denmark the price is DKK 3,085, that is equivalent to about €414. At last, the Finnish price for the handset is €415.
The price is a bit high if we consider its hardware side: for more than €400 you can actually purchase phones with the Snapdragon 660 or the Snapdragon 835 SoC, while this device has a lower-end Snapdragon 630 chipset. But note that this device also offers a stunning camera department composed of a 23 MP f/2.0 rear sensor and a dual 16 + 8 MP front camera which is optically stabilized. And do not forget its huge 6-inch display and its massive 3580 mAh battery.
Google’s mobile virtual network – Project Fi is offering Nexus 5X owners on its network a new replacement option. Initially, users had complained about the Nexus 5X. Rather than offer a replacement unit, Google provided a $100 Google Play Store credit or a $53 cheque.
Android Police reports that Google is now offering owners of faulty Nexus 5Xs an Android One Moto X4 instead. However, those willing to change will still have to pay a $69 replacement fee. One user already reported that he got the Moto X4 as a replacement.
New users on the other hand will have to pay $299 for the Moto X4 instead of $399 or $324 as at two weeks ago.
The Moto X4 packs a 5.2” FHD display with Gorilla Glass 3. It is powered by a Snapdragon 630 processor, has 3GB of RAM and 32GB of expandable storage.
After announcing the arrival of the MIUI 9 OS on 4o new devices, Xiaomi has started rolling out a new version of its user interface on some of its latest smartphones: MIUI 9.2. Considering that it is not a major update, there are just a few changes and improvements than the original v9, but it is worth noting that some very interesting features have been implemented. The MIUI 9.2 will only roll out to devices which has already received the update to the v9 Global Stable ROM. Other devices will have to wait for this release until they get their Global Stable update.
According to the changelog, MIUI 9.2 brings the App Vault feature, a new Gallery editor, and the Mi Video app. Further, there is a fix for the KRACK WPA2 security vulnerabilities and a fix for the dual notification bug spotted in WhatsApp and Telegram in the previous version of the firmware. The UI has been simplified and now the Mi Mover app supports data migration restart. This means that if you are migrating your data from a phone to another and the hotspot connection accidentally interrupts, it will be restored automatically and it will continue from the same point. The update also adds dynamic calibration function for the distance sensor, which will enable the screen to turn off and on correctly when needed.
There are also some fixes for the fingerprint reader and some compatibility issues with third-party software on full-screen devices. Other minor optimizations in MIUI 9.2 include home screen, themes, the App Lock, the Backup function and the Mi Account. The update has been rolled out in its Stable version on the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2, Xiaomi Redmi Note 4, Xiaomi Redmi 4, Xiaomi Redmi Y1, Xiaomi Redmi Y1 Lite and Xiaomi Redmi 5A. Unfortunately, we do not know when the update will hit the other devices of the company.

Xiaomi has confirmed to participate in the upcoming Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. The company is expected to launch its upcoming flagship phone — Xiaomi Mi 7 at the event.
While it is known that the company’s upcoming flagship phone will be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 845 processor, nothing has been confirmed about the physical design aspects of the device.
Recently, a shady render of the phone appeared online through a Nigerian website, however, we couldn’t confirm if it was genuine or not. Now, a new render of the phone has appeared online, which is quite different from the earlier image.
The newly leaked render shows the phone with a bezel-less design, similar to what we saw on Xiaomi’s Mi MIX 2. The bezels are extremely thin on the three sides — left, right and bottom. However, the bezel is a bit thicker on the top side, mainly to house camera, earpiece and other sensors.
The back panel reveals that the phone will come with a dual camera setup and a dual-tone LED flash. The camera module has been placed on the top-left corner. There is also a fingerprint sensor placed at the top-centre position. At the bottom part, there’s Mi branding.
The recently leaked render suggested that the phone could have a glass back panel. This is in line with earlier reports which said that the phone is likely to come with Wireless Charging support — the first for the China-based smartphone manufacturer.
There are also reports making rounds which suggests that the Mi 7 will be the first device from Xioami to have Artificial Intelligence capabilities for the rear camera to offer stellar photography experience. According to the rumours, the phone will come with 6-inch AMOLED display with full-screen 18:9 aspect ratio.
The Xiaomi Mi 7 is said to come equipped monochrome + RGB dual camera system. It is likely to feature a 12-megapixel Sony IMX380 sensor and a 20-megapixel Sony IMX350 sensor. Last month, during the announcement of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 845 processor, Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun said that the company’s upcoming flagship will be powered by the same chipset.
Along with Mi 7, the company is also expected to launch Mi 7 Plus at the Mobile World Congress. However, the company has not yet officially confirmed this. So, we’ll just have to wait for the Mobile World Congress to kick-off.
Back in 2016, news of a new Operating System by Google surfaced on the internet. Called Fuchsia, the OS is based on a new microkernel called Zircon instead of Linux like Android and ChromeOS. There were reports that Fuchsia would replace Android but Google has not confirmed that.
Fast forward to January 2018; Google released a guide on how to run Fuchsia on the Pixelbook and the team at Ars Technica made a video giving us a look at the new operating system.
The over 8-minute long video shows a number of features most of which are not working since the OS is unfinished. However, there are some pretty cool features.
On the lock-screen, there is a Fuchsia logo at the top left corner that lets you switch between phone mode and laptop mode. You can also switch the orientation from portrait to landscape or vice versa when in phone mode.
There are a number of buttons at the bottom right corner such as Login, Wi-Fi, and Guest. Ars Technica says only “Guest” works. Click on it and you get taken to the homescreen.
The homescreen is sort of a blend of Google Now and your regular homescreen. Above the Google search bar are icons for time, date, WiFi (doesn’t work), and battery level (works). There is also a Fuchsia button which opens up a quick settings panel.
The OS also supports split-screen multitasking in both vertical and horizontal modes as well as a new tab mode.
Most of the features do not work but you get an idea of what is to come when Google eventually finishes it. However, there are reports that this may not happen soon.
Sony, the Japan-based manufacturer which recently launched its entry-level and mid-range phones at the Consumer Electronics Show, is expected to launch a range of phone under its Sony Xperia branding this year.
While we have seen a lot of leaks surrounding Sony Xperia devices, a new phone from the company with the model number ID PY7-21831A has surfaced online as it passed through FCC. While FCC listing usually does not reveal anything about the phone, this one reveals that there won’t be a 3.5mm audio jack on this device.
If this turns out to be true, then this could be the first phone from the company to ditch the 3.5mm audio jack. As there’s very low possibility that Sony could drop the audio jack in a mid-range device, this upcoming Sony phone could be the Xperia flagship device.
The schematic image in the FCC listing reveals the use of a combined USB / headphone jack cable connection. Furthermore, the attached document also highlights the dimensions of the phone with 152.79 x 72.42 mm, and a 5.7-inch screen diagonal display. However, it is not yet known if the display carries the regular 16:9 aspect ratio of the trending 18:9 aspect ratio for full-screen displays.
Sony has confirmed that it is holding a press event at the upcoming Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. At the event, the company is expected to unveil its new devices, including the Xperia XZ Pro. According to the latest reports, the XZ Pro is expected to come with a 4K OLED display.
Apart from the Xperia XZ Pro, the company is also expected to take the curtains off Xperia XZ2. Sony’s press event will take place on 26th February. So, we’ll have to wait until the event to know which phones the company is launching.
Samsung has dominated the smartphone market in India for the past few years. However, a research conducted by International Data Corporation (IDC) for Q317 revealed that Xiaomi has managed to equal its market share with Samsung to dethrone Samsung from the number spot in India.
In a recent interview with Reuters, Manu Kumar Jain, the Global Vice-President and Managing Director of Xiaomi India said that company has been focusing on building its offline presence in 2017 and 2018. In May 2017, it opened its first Mi Home store India. At present, it has 17 Mi Home stores across India.
In the previous year, Jain had said that Xiaomi is aiming to build 100 Mi Home Stores by mid-2019 in India. Talking about the current status of its stores, Jain has said that the company is ahead of its schedule. Moreover, Xiaomi will be also partnering with other stores that will largely stock its devices apart from products from other brands.
Since the time Xiaomi entered the Indian market, it has been aggressively selling its smartphones online. Its strategy of selling its devices through flash sales major online retailer sites like Amazon India and Flipkart has allowed it to increase its market share significantly in the country. Xiaomi reportedly accounts for about 50 percent of the online smartphones sales in India. And now the company is strengthening its offline sales.
In 2017, Xiaomi had launched eight smartphones. The Redmi 5A came with a lowest pricing of Rs. 4,999 (~$78) whereas the Mi MIX 2 that costs Rs. 32,999 (~$517) is the costliest Xiaomi phone in India in 2017. On the other sides, its major rival Samsung sold around 40 smartphones in the country last year. Jain has also confirmed that the Indian market will be seeing around six to eight new smartphones across different price points this year.
The Chinese manufacturer is selling air purifiers and fitness bands in India. It is likely to unleash one or two smart products in the country this year. In the near future, it is also expected to sell other products like TVs, water purifiers, scooters and rice cookers.
A report from the previous week had stated Samsung India will be taking on Xiaomi by launching a new series of smartphones that will be exclusively sold online. Xiaomi has recently started building its offline presence. However, Samsung has been selling its phones offline since several years. It has around 1.5 lakh offline stores all over the country. A Samsung spokesperson said that it will take some time for Xiaomi to build such a huge offline presence in India.
Apple products are always known for their topnotch quality ranging from the display, processors to the battery and other accessories. But once in a while, there have been pockets of reported cases of filing hardware. One hardware that is usually prone to failure is the battery. There have even been a few reported cases of swollen or exploding iPhone battery in the past. Recently, a case of exploding iPhone 8 battery was reported in China and yet again here is another case.
A video has emerged which captures the scene of an Apple iPhone explosion inside a phone shop. The video showed the young man standing in from of the sales counter, apparently checking out the phone before sealing the deal. The young man then inserted the iPhone into his mouth and bit on the battery in order to test if it was original or fake. Just as soon as he removed the smartphone from his mouth, the iPhone burst into a rapid explosion with occupants of the shop scampering to safety. That is perhaps, a close shave with death but thankfully, no one was hurt during the incident.
We can’t say for sure why the battery went up in flames but it may be connected to the unstable nature of lithium batteries. It is unlikely the iPhone was a new one but maybe a fairly used model. The shop looks like a pawn shop where Now you know, it is best to treat the smartphone battery as a potentially explosive material and so handle it with care. You can catch a glimpse of the video from here.
Chinese smartphones brands are working on building their presence offline in India. OPPO and Vivo smartphones are available offline since a couple of years in India. In the recent past, Xiaomi has also opened Mi Home stores in various locations across India. Honor too is expected to start its experience stores in the country. In order to complements its online business, OnePlus has also started a new “OnePlus Authorized Store in Mumbai, India to sell its smartphone offline.
OnePlus had collaborated with Croma stores in India in September last year to sell its products offline. It had also started “OnePlus Experience Store” in Bengaluru in 2017 to allow OnePlus fans to experience its complete range of products.
The new store in Mumbai is offering Bullet V2 earphones for free to early buyers of any OnePlus smartphone. OnePlus has recently started the sales of the OnePlus 5T Lava Red edition in India. This new color variant will be also available for buying at the new store in Mumbai. The Chinese manufacturer will be starting more offline stores in India in this year
Samsung’s Galaxy Note series is the king of productivity for smartphones, thanks mainly to its S-Pen stylus. Over the years, the S-Pen has evolved – it now packs more features and is also waterproof. Nevertheless, more features may be coming according to a new patent release.
The patent application filed at the WIPO (World Intellectual Property Organization) will allow users control their phone with the S Pen and finger at the same time.
Images provided show a settings screen where you can choose the input method for an application. Like in the one above, which lists various screen scrolling methods, you can choose to use a combination of finger touch and S-Pen where the S-Pen is for input or where the finger is for input.
You can also configure how the stylus should respond when the screen senses a finger touch. An example is shown in the image below where the thickness of the line is increased when the user taps and holds the screen.
Samsung has also added a number of hand gestures that serve as shortcuts. Drawing a Z will move to the next memo and drawing it in a mirror-like fashion takes you to the previous memo. You can also add an attachment or delete a memo by drawing a circle clockwisely or anti-clockwisely respectively.

Samsung is expected to unveil the Galaxy S9 and S9+ at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2018 in Barcelona next month. The models are also expected to be launched in the world’s largest smartphone market, China soon after the MWC unveiling. Ahead of its arrival in China, Samsung has started putting things in place to get the next-gen Galaxy flagships approved in China. Secevral models of a Samsung smartphone believed to be the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ reportedly received China’s Compulsory Certificate (3C) last week.
The Samsung Galaxy models that got 3C nod include models bearing the model numbers SM-G9650/DS, SM-G9600/DS, and the SM-G9608/DS. The SM-G9600/DS model is said to be the Chinese variant of the Galaxy S9 while SM-G9608/DS is the Galaxy S9+. In addition, the SM-G9608/DS is said to be the smaller 5.8-inch Galaxy S9+ model that is meant for the Taiwan market.The suffix “DS” attached to the model number shows that all three models are expected to have dual SIM car slots. The SIM slots of all three models are expected to follow suit with the Hybrid SIM etup of the Galaxy S8 series where the second SIM slot can be interchanged with a microSD card.
As usual, 3C listing doesn’t reveal much details regarding the specifications of the smartphone but is a sure indication that the launch is somewhat imminent. Previous leaks point to the use of the flagship Snapdragon 845 chip on the Galaxy S9 while some models will have an Exynos 9810 processor. The 3C listing also shows all the three models will come with fast charging support at 9V /1.67A and 5V / 2A. Apart from these few details, nothing else is revealed but we hope to see more details in the coming days, especially when the models hit TENAA.
The Nokia 7 smartphone that was launched in October last year is not available for buying outside of China. Even the newly unveiled Nokia 6 (2018) is exclusively available for buying in the home country. Fresh information suggests two models of a same Nokia phone has been approved by Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the U.S. It is speculated that it could be the Nokia 7 or the second-generation Nokia 6 that would be arriving in the U.S. soon.
The model number of the two Nokia phones that have been certified by FCC are TA-1045 and TA-1016. These are single-SIM and dual-SIM editions of the Nokia 7 or Nokia 6 (2018) for the U.S. The FCC documentation of these phones state that they have been built to specifically function in the U.S. HMD Global has reportedly used a proprietary software to disable support for non-US frequencies on TA-1045 and TA-1016 that will make the smartphone usable in the U.S.
The FCC has revealed that the upcoming Nokia phone for the U.S. includes a 3,000 mAh battery and it will come preloaded with Android 8.0 Oreo. The Nokia 7 and Nokia 6 (2018) are both packed with 3,000 mAh battery. Also, both smartphones are now receiving the Android 8.0 Oreo update in the home country. Hence, it is difficult to tell whether the Nokia 7 or Nokia 6 (2018) would be landing soon in the U.S.
Which smartphone among the Nokia 7 and Nokia 6 (2018) will be heading to the U.S.? Share us your views by posting your comments below.
