A fortnight ago, Xiaomi announced a red variant for the Mi 5X. If my memory serves me right, this is probably Xiaomi’s first Mi phone with a red coat. To mark its release, Xiaomi has released a bunch of promotional images for the new variant for us to feast our eyes on.
The red variant has black bezels just like the black variant and unlike the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus (PRODUCT) RED which have white bezels. The dual rear cameras have been kept black and they stand out in a beautiful way against the red paint.
The Red Mi 5X only differs in color from its other variants. It still has a 5.5-inch FHD display, 4GB of RAM, 64GB ROM and is powered by the Snapdragon 625 processor. There are dual 12MP cameras on the rear and a 5MP camera for selfies. You also get a 3080mAh battery and Android Nougat out of the box.
Since this is the same device as the Android One Mi A1, you can port the stock android ROM on it and get Android Oreo before the end of the year.
The Huawei Mate 9 already has a successor that brings a bunch of new features including the most powerful Kirin chip till date and one of the best cameras in the market. However, not everyone can afford the new model.
Amazon has cut the price of the Mate 9 to $399, allowing you get a taste of that Leica goodness for less, though not at the level of the Mate 10.
The Mate 9 may already be a year old, but it shares key features (processor and cameras) with this year’s P10 flagship. So unless you are buying the P10 Plus, the Mate 9 is basically a larger P10.
The Mate 9 has a 5.9” FHD screen, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of storage, and a 4000mAh battery. It has dual cameras on the rear – a 20MP monochrome sensor + a 12MP RGB sensor and an 8MP front facing camera. Since this is the variant launched in the US, you also get Amazon’s Alexa AI assistant on board.

As for specs, we have a 5.5” 1080p LCD display, Snapdragon 625 chip, 4GB of RAM and 64GB of expandable storage.
Overall, the Xiaomi A1 is easily one of the best budget phones of 2017.
Even though the OnePlus 5T’s launch is just around the corner, the 5T is still one of the most powerful phones the money can buy. It ships with the top-shelf Snapdragon 825 chip, 6GB of RAM and 64GB of storage but if you pay extra, you can get phone with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of non-expandable storage. All of those specs are packed into an all-metal body.

The Xiaomi Mi Note 2 is still one of the most beautiful phones out there that has great specs. The phone ships with a Snapdragon 821 chip, 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage.

[envira-gallery id=”157685″]
OnePlus 5T Specs
The highlight of the OnePlus 5T is its new display which has influenced the design of the phone. The trend feature in phones this year has been full-screen displays and OnePlus joins the bandwagon with the OnePlus 5T.
According to leaked promotional materials, the OnePlus 5T has a full optic-AMOLED display with an 18:9 aspect ratio. The 6.01 inch FHD+ screen is protected by 2.5D Gorilla Glass 5 with support for DCI-P3 and sRGB. OnePlus also says that the form factor has been kept similar to that of the OnePlus 5 and mentions the phone has a screen-to-body ratio of 8.0.5%.
The display has taken up much of the space in front and the bezels have been reduced, resulting in the fingerprint scanner moving to a new position – the back of the phone. The scanner is still pretty fast as OnePlus claims it unlocks in 0.2s.
Sunlight Display
Just like the OnePlus 5, the 5T comes with its own display tricks. The phone has a new feature called Sunlight Display. The feature is described as a software algorithm that lets the phone automatically adapt to harsh light.
The Sunlight Display works in four scenarios- when you access the gallery, when you are playing a game, when you take a photo, and when you record a video. The display’s contrast is one of the features that is adjusted to provide the improved viewing experience.
The OnePlus 5T will come with a Snapdragon 835 processor, 6GB or 8GB of RAM and 64GB or 128GB of UFS 2.1 storage.
OnePlus 5T Cameras
The OnePlus 5T will retain the dual camera combo on the rear. One is a 16MP Sony IMX398 1.12um f/1.7 sensor and the other is a 20MP Sony IMX376K 1.0um f/1.7 sensor. Both cameras have a focal length of 27.22mm. The phone will be able to record in 4K, 1080p, and slo-mo. It will also have EIS for 4K videos out of the box.
OnePlus says it has redesigned the camera app by providing one-handed access to all the camera modes with a simple up or down swipe.
The front camera also remains 16MP. It is a Sony IMX371 sensor with a F/2.0 aperture and a 1.0um pixel size. It will have support for HDR and screen flash for providing illumina in poorly lit conditions.
The OnePlus 5T will have a USB-C port with support for USB audio even though It still has a 3.5mm audio jack. There will be dual SIM support, NFC, and Bluetooth 5.0 with aptX and aptx-HD.
As predicted earlier, OnePlus will be playing its tricky OS game by launching the 5T with Android 7.1.1 Nougat rather than Android 8.0 Oreo. That way it can count Android Oreo as one of the two major software updates the phone will get.
The OnePlus 5T will also keep the 3300mAh battery of the OnePlus 5 as well as the 34-band support which means it has global LTE support.
OnePlus 5T, the upcoming flagship smartphone from the Chinese manufacturer OnePlus, is going to launch next week. We have already seen a lots of leaks surrounding the device, including specifications, landing page, press renders, etc.

The ticket costs $40 and the company has now said that those who attend the event will get chance to order OnePlus 5T before anyone else and will receive $40 off on the order.
As of the smartphone’s pricing, there are two contradictory reports. Recently, OnePlus CEO Pete Lau suggested that the OnePlus 5T could be priced higher than OP5 by Tweeting that the prices of the mobile phone components are increasing faster than the housing costs in Shenzhen. Previously, when a OnePlus fan had asked him whether 4,000 Yuan is sufficient for buying OnePlus 5T, Lau responded by saying that it is enough.
Reports suggests that the highest configuration model of the OnePlus 5T, which is expected to pack 8GB RAM and 128GB onboard storage may arrive with a pricing of about 4,000 Yuan (~$602).
Xiaomi has launched a new Mi PTZ Camera specially designed for use on the Mi Ninbot Plus self-balancing electric scooter.

This is coming just a week before the OP 5T will be officially unveiled in a press event scheduled to hold in New York City on November 16.
OnePlus 5T Render
The program is meant to be a marketing push for the phone and it would see 10 reviewers with a stellar knack for phone reviews.

Vivo along with OPPO and OnePlus belong to the Chinese multinational company called BBK Electronics Corporation. It ranks among the top 5 smartphone manufacturers in China. India is the other market where Vivo is quite famous. However, it is not a well-known brand outside China and India. The Chinese smartphone brand is now looking forward to expanding its business outside these regions. Fresh information suggests that the company is planning to enter markets such as Europe and Africa in 2018.
Vivo has recently entered a $4 billion of understanding (MoU) with Qualcomm. Oppo and Xiaomi too have entered the similar memorandums with the U.S. based chipmaker which increases the value up to $12 billion for 3 years.
The relationship between Vivo and Qualcomm will possibly allow Vivo to introduce 5G enabled phones in the near future. Even though many smartphone makers are testing under-display fingerprint scanner, Vivo became the first company to demonstrate in-screen fingerprint sensing technology developed by Qualcomm during the Mobile World Congress Shanghai event that was held earlier in this year.
Vivo and Qualcomm are also planning to begin the development of 3D facial identification technology along with other biometric recognition technologies like reading palm prints and iris scanning. Through the recently launched X20 and X20 Plus smartphones that are powered by Snapdragon 660 chipset, Vivo had introduced Face Wake facial recognition feature that is based on 16-megapixel selfie camera.

The OnePlus 5T flagship killer will be getting unveiled in the next week. There are conflicting rumors about the OnePlus 5T’s pricing. A recent report had claimed that the Chinese manufacturer would be selling the OnePlus 5T with the same pricing as OnePlus 5. However, a recent tweet by OnePlus CEO Pete Lau suggests that the OnePlus 5T would be carrying a higher pricing.
Cost of smartphone components is rising, but phones are also getting better. OnePlus users will appreciate what's coming.
Lau claims that the prices of the mobile phone components are increasing faster than the housing costs in Shenzhen. This suggests that the OnePlus 5T may debut with an expensive pricing. Also, earlier in this week, when a OnePlus fan had asked him whether 4,000 Yuan is sufficient for buying OnePlus 5T, Lau responded by saying that it is enough. Since then the rumor mill is speculating that the highest configuration model of the OnePlus 5T that is expected to feature 8 GB of Ram and 128 GB of storage may arrive with a pricing of 4,000 Yuan (~$602).
The OnePlus 5 with 64 GB and 128 GB storage options respectively cost 2,999 Yuan (~$452) and 3,499 Yuan (~$527). The upcoming OnePlus 5T is speculated to feature a 6-inch full screen display that may increase the cost of the OnePlus 5T. Moreover, OnePlus 5T is speculated to come with some improvements in other departments such as dual rear cameras and battery. These enhancements are also speculated to increase the cost the of the OnePlus 5T.
The original OnePlus One smartphone from 2014 was introduced with a pricing of $299. The Chinese firm has been consistently increasing the cost of its successor models. OnePlus had increased the price of the OnePlus 5 by $40 over its predecessor model. Hence, it seems that the OnePlus 5T may arrive with a slight increase in its price tag. It is speculated that the OnePlus 5T’s 64 GB model may be priced around $519 and the 128 GB model could cost nearly $579.
As far as specs are concerned, it is rumored to be driven by Snapdragon 835 chipset. It may feature a larger battery of 3,450mAh battery. The back panel is speculated to include a pair of 20-megapixel cameras and a front-mounted 16-megapixel camera. The company has confirmed that OnePlus 5T will retain the 3.5mm audio jack.
What’s your opinion on the OnePlus 5T? Will it cost higher than OnePlus 5? Share us your thoughts by adding your comments below.
Smartisan Nut Pro 2 still continues to receive lots of accolades for the amazing design it features and the redefinition it gives to mid-range smartphones. With good publicity, this model could be Smartisan’s door opener into newer markets but they don’t seem to be ready to get out of their comfort zone just yet. We could always expect online retailers to stock this model anytime soon. Back to the topic, the Nut Pro 2 not only presents an awesome design language tailored after the trending 18:9 near bezel-less full-screen design, it also packs a stunning specs lineup spearheaded by a Snapdragon 660 chip.
A couple of sample photos captured with the Nut Pro 2 has now been shared online showing the amazing dual camera setup that sits on the Nut Pro 2’s rear aspect. The photos all seem to have been shot at night and what better time to take shots that prove the capability of a phone’s camera? We can’t verify if the photos have not been enhanced but if there is no enhancement, that means we are looking at an all-round awesome device here. The night shots come with distinct and vivid clarify without any image noise. The light control is good, so also is the colour reproduction and grasp of details.
For photography, the Nut Pro 2 uses dual rear camera setup with the primary sensor being a powerful 12MP Sony IMX386 1.25um wide-angle sensor with a F/1.8 aperture and PDAF.
