Dec 21, 2017

Xiaomi’s Mi Max phablet, which was launched in the year 2016 became a popular device, especially among the multimedia users. This year, the company launched its successor, dubbed as Mi Max 2 with upgraded specifications. Now, according to the latest reports, the company is now working on the Mi Max 3.

The Xiaomi Mi Max 3 will reportedly come with major upgrades to keep the devices in line with the current trends. The phone is expected to come with an even bigger display size of 7-inch. This is interesting as the 7-inch devices usually fall under the tablet category. The Full HD+ display will have a screen resolution of 2160 × 1080 pixels and 18:9 aspect ratio.

The phablet is likely to be powered by Qualcomm‘s Snapdragon 660 chipset. Currently, we don’t have information regarding the RAM and internal storage capacity on the device. With dual camera setup at the back of the device getting mainstream, the Mi Max 3 is expected to come equipped with the same.

Looking at the recently leaked images of the phone, the dual camera module will be placed at the top-left corner, along with an LED flash. The company is expected to employ a high-resolution camera sensor coupled with a depth sensor, or a wide-angle lens with a telephoto lens.

The phone is expected to pack a 5,500mAh battery which will also support Quick Charge 3.0 as well as reverse charging. While there are no details available about the software used, we are expecting the phablet to run Android Nougat based MIUI 9. Looking at the past launch dates, we are expecting this Mi Max 3 to launch in the middle of the next year.

The Mi Max 2 features a 6.44-inch Full HD with 1920 x 1080 pixels screen resolution. It is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor, paired with 4GB RAM. There is a 12-megapixel rear camera and a 5-megapixel front-facing camera. The phone runs Android Nougat 7.1.1 layered with MIUI 8 on top and is fuelled by a 5,300mAh battery.

When Huawei released the Enjoy 7S earlier this week, it also announced the Huawei 7 power bank too. Today, its sub-brand Honor unveiled the Honor 9 Lite/Youth Edition and alongside it, the Honor AM51 bluetooth speaker.

The Honor AM51 Speaker has a lot going for it. From its donut-like shape like the UE Roll or Google Home Mini to its cool colors and affordable price, it sure ticks all the boxes. Let’s not also forget its IP5X rating which means its safe for poolside parties or your solo shower performances.

The Honor AM51 has a TPU shell for the lower half and a fabric-like mesh covering at the top. It also has a shoelace-like strap for carrying or for hanging. The buttons are on the lower half and are raised so you should be able to find them even in the dark. There is also a microphone which means you can use it to make and receive calls.

The speaker comes with a 700mAh battery that lasts up to 8.5hrs on a single charge. Charging is via a micro USB port covered by a flap. The speaker connects via Bluetooth 4.1, has a 10m range and a power rating of 3.5W. It weighs ~190g and measures 100 x 100 x 42mm.

Dec 21, 2017

Lately, Xiaomi — the China-based smartphone manufacturer has been aggressively launching new devices. The company is now gearing up to launch its flagship smartphone next year — Xiaomi Mi 7. However, according to the latest leak, the company is also working on Mi 6X.

An image of the phone’s back cover has been leaked online which allegedly belongs to the upcoming Xiomi Mi 6X smartphone. This is the first time we are hearing about the Mi 6X, which is supposed to be an upgraded model of Mi 6, the company’s current flagship device.

The leaked image suggests that the phone will come with a dual camera setup at the back with two camera sensor stacked vertically. The camera module will be placed at the top-left corner, similarly to what we saw on Apple’s iPhone X.

There is a big circular hole in the middle of the back cover, which we are assuming is for the fingerprint sensor. Apart from that, this transparent silicone case also shows the phone’s buttons placed on the right. It seems that there is a speaker grill at the bottom, along with a 3.5mm headphone jack.

Given that the fingerprint sensor is placed at the back, there is a possibility that the phone will feature a full-screen bezel-less display — similar to what we saw on the recently launched Redmi 5 and Redmi 5 Plus.

The Mi 5X was launched in July earlier this year, so if the company is indeed working on the Mi 6X smartphone, we are expecting it to get launched in mid-2018. It will be interesting given that the company would have already launched its next-generation flagship smartphone Mi 7.

Xiaomi Mi 7 is expected to come with a 5.65-inch display whereas the Mi 7 Plus may feature a large 6.01-inch screen. Both the phones are rumoured to support 18:9 aspect ratio. The Mi 7 may include a battery of 3,200mAh capacity whereas the larger Mi 7 Plus may feature a 3,500mAh battery. These devices are also rumoured to support wireless charging.

The recently announced Snapdragon 845 chipset is likely to be the driving force for the smartphones, along with 6GB RAM. Both smartphone models are expected to house dual rear cameras featuring Sony IMX380 and IMX350 sensors.

Dec 21, 2017

The FCC listing of the Nokia 9 had revealed that it would be coming with a 5-megapixel selfie camera. However, a leaked render that had surfaced yesterday revealed that the phone features dual selfie cameras. Investigating on the configuration of the frontal camera on its manufacturer’s website has revealed that the Nokia 9 will be indeed arriving with dual front-facing cameras.

According to the FCC documentation of the Nokia 9, it will be featuring a Chicony CKACE16 module for the frontal camera. By checking the specifications of the camera module on the manufacturer site, it can be confirmed that it is a dual camera system. However, the specs page of the camera module carries an image of single sensor. The webpage seems to feature a wrong image for the dual camera sensor.

The Chicony CKACE16 is an autofocus enabled dual camera setup that features an f/2.0 aperture 5-megapixel sensor that carries support for full HD video recording. It also includes another 5-megapixel sensor with f/2.4 aperture.

The leaked render of the Nokia 9 that can be seen above shows the dual selfie camera sitting on its top bezel. The render shows that the smartphone features slim bezels around the display and it lack a front-mounted fingerprint scanner. This suggests that the fingerprint reader could be placed on the back panel of the Nokia 9.

The FCC filing of the smartphone has revealed that it would be featuring a 5.5-inch OLED display that may support 18:9 aspect ratio. The Snapdragon 835 chipset is present under the hood of the phone. It includes UFS 2.1 storage of 128 GB and it will also include a microSD card slot. It will be equipped with 12-megapixel + 13-megapixel dual rear-facing cameras.

Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018), Galaxy A8+ (2018) Lack Pressure-Sensitive Home Button

Dec 21, 2017

The Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ smartphones that were launched this year are the first devices by Samsung to feature Infinity Display design. The South Korean company has also brought the Infinity Display design to the newly unveiled Galaxy A8 (2018) and Galaxy A8+ (2018) phones. Various features such as support for 18.5:9 aspect ratio and rear-mounted fingerprint scanner that are available on the Galaxy S8 duo are also available on the A8 (2018) and A8+ (2018) phones. However, unlike the S8 phones, the A8 (2018) duo lack pressure-sensitive display area at the lower side of the screen that functions as a physical home button.

Since the pressure-sensitive home button is not available on the Galaxy A8 (2018) and Galaxy A8+ (2018) smartphones, these phones cannot be unlocked by long pressing on the home button. Hence, users will be able to unlock these phones by pressing the power button.

Users can also unlock the A8 duo by tapping twice on the display for waking up the device since the the Always-On Display (AOD) feature comes enabled on these phones. The other way to unlock the A8 (2018) or A8+ (2018) is by using the fingerprint sensor located the backside of the phone.

There is no official confirmation on why the company decided to axe the pressure-sensitive home button feature on the Galaxy A8 (2018) and Galaxy A8+ (2018). It could be a cost cutting move by the company to make the high-end feature available on flagship phones such as Galaxy S8, Galaxy S8+ and Galaxy Note 8.
