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.
However, 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. It’s just a matter of few days as the company will announce the price while launching the smartphone on 16th November.

The Moto X4 is a mid-range model but it is a premium mid-ranger and was first unveiled for Europe at IFA Berlin in September. The device is one of the first smartphones to come with inbuilt support for Amazon’s Alexa voice assistant, and since it is based on Android 7.1 Nougat, it also supports Google Assistant. Other features which make the Moto X4 a standout model include an IP68 water and dust resistance.
The Moto X4 has a 5.2-inch 1080p display covered with a 2.5D glass. It has joined the still very short list of phones powered by the Snapdragon 630 mobile platform. There will be two variants – a 3GB RAM + 32GB ROM version for the US and Europe and a 4GB RAM + 64GB model for other markets.

Samsung is expected to soon debut the Galaxy A5 (2017) and Galaxy A7 (2017) smartphones as both the devices have been certified by the Federal Communications Commission in the U.S. The existence of the Galaxy A5 (2017) is now all the more confirmed as its model number has been found listed on the support page of the official site of Samsung.
The Samsung Galaxy A5 that was launched in 2014 carried a model number of SM-A500. The Galaxy A5 (2016) that arrived in December 2015 had a model number of SM-A510. The Galaxy A5 (2017) has a model number of SM-A520. Hence, the upcoming Galaxy A5 (2018) is speculated to have a model number of SM-A530.
The SM-A530N model number has been found on South Korean edition of Samsung’s support page. It seems to be a Korean variant of the smartphone. However, the listing of the phone does not contain any details on its specs.
Previous reports have revealed that the upcoming Samsung Galaxy A5 (2018) will be arriving with a 5.5-inch Infinity Display that will deliver an aspect ratio of 2160 x 1080 pixels. Since the phone will be arriving with a full screen design, its fingerprint scanner will be present on its rear panel.
The Exynos 7885 chipset will be powering the Galaxy A5 (2018) smartphone along with 4 GB of RAM. It is also speculated to come with a IP68 certified chassis. It is expected to come preinstalled with Android Nougat OS.
The Galaxy A7 (2018) is rumored to arrive with same specs as Galaxy A5 (2018). However, the A7 (2018) is likely to feature a 5.7-inch Infinity Display. Both the smartphones are also speculated to feature a dedicated button for accessing Bixby AI.
Since the Galaxy A (2017) smartphones were unveiled in January 2017, rumors are rife that the Galaxy A (2018) phones may debut in January 2018. However, the rumor mill is still silent on the existence of Galaxy A3 (2018) smartphone.
Do you think Samsung will skip Galaxy A3 (2018) or will it arrive with a regular display? Will it launch alongside 2018 version of Galaxy A5 and Galaxy A8? Share us your thoughts by adding your comments below.
According to TrendForce analysis, Samsung currently holds the top spot worldwide in terms of market share with around 21.1 percent market. However, the report suggests that Apple will dethrone Samsung from the top spot in the last quarter of this year (Q4 2017).
As per the report, Samsung’s market share will decline from 21.1 percent to 18.2 percent while Apple’s market share will grow from 11.5 percent to 19.1 percent. The third, fourth, fifth and sixth spot will be taken by Chinese manufacturers Huawei, OPPO, Xiaomi and Vivo respectively.
While Huawei is estimated to capture 10.6 percent of the market share, OPPO, Xiaomi and Vivo are estimated to follow with 7.2%, 6.6% and 5.5% of market share. Rest of the companies will cover the remaining 32.8 percent market share.
Huawei’s annual total for 2017 is estimated around 150 million units. The Chinese manufacturer’s smartphone strategy for this year is to focus on selling its high-end, high-margin models and reduce the number of its low-price, entry-level models in the lineup.
In terms of smartphone production, Samsung manufacturer 81 million units in the third quarter. However, in the fourth quarter, the company is expected to scale down production of its high-end smartphones. On the other hand, Apple, which is struggling in terms of production capacity for the iPhone X, is expected to ramp up productions to reach 81 million units in the last quarter of the year, out of which 33 percent units will be iPhone X.
The fourth quarter has usually been the strongest for Apple, given that the US-based company launches new devices in the fall. Samsung‘s Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus were released back in April, so sales momentum is likely beginning to decline.
Meanwhile, market research firm Canalys estimates that the iPhone 8 Plus has outpaced the iPhone 8 last quarter with shipments of 6.3 million units and 5.4 million units respectively. As per the report, the iPhone 8 Plus is the first Plus-sized iPhone to out-ship its smaller sibling in a single quarter.
With iPhone X sales going stronger, and the demand for the device is expected to be significant during holiday period. This could help Apple to easily beat its all-time record for revenue in a single quarter of $78.4 billion which was achieved in the fourth quarter of 2016.
Face ID is Apple’s latest security feature. It was introduced in the iPhone X as a replacement for Touch ID, since the design of the phone doesn’t allow for the fingerprint scanner to remain in front and Apple doesn’t want it positioned at the back.
A security firm called Bkav says they have been able to defeat Face ID with the aid of a mask. Apple claims that Face ID is secure and that the odds of a random person gaining access to your phone is 1 in 1 million.
Bkav’s Face ID Mask
The firm said it was able to fool Apple’s AI and bypass Face ID because it understands how the AI works. Bkav says it had to create a face mask made up of different materials for different parts of the face.
According to the Vice President of Bkav, Ngo Tuan Anh, “the mask is crafted by combining 3D printing with makeup and 2D images, besides some special processing on the cheeks and around the face where there are large skin areas to fool the AI of Face ID”. Areas that have special materials include the nose which is made of silicone and the frame which is 3D printed.
The cost of making the mask is about $150 and it can be used to gain access to the phones of high profile targets such as business and political leaders.
Yesterday was Single’s Day, a Chinese holiday that is meant to celebrate being single but as become the largest offline and online shopping festival. Alibaba, China’s biggest e-commerce store set a world record yesterday with sales of over $25 billion.
Alibaba is said to have processed 256,000 transactions per second via its mobile payment app, Alipay to arrive at ¥163.8 billion (~$25.3 billion) mainly via its stores Taobao and Tmall.
The new record is a 39% increase over last year’s ¥120.7 billion (~$17.9 billion). It has also raised Alibaba’s quarterly revenue by 61%.
Alibaba’s Single’s Day sale dwarfs the US’s Black Friday and Cyber Monday shopping sales by a large margin. In 2016, retailers recorded $3 billion on Black Friday and $3.45 billion on Cyber Monday compared to Alibaba’s $17.8 billion on Single’s Day. Both figures were actually record sales for the shopping events.
It is important to explain how Alibaba makes its money from the sales. For sellers on Tmall, there is a commission and store fee that they are charged, while Taobao brings in money by providing stores with boosted ads.
Alongside the sales figure, Alibaba also released some interesting stats:
it recorded a total of 812 million orders
over 140,000 brands, of which 60,000 are international listed on Tmall.
167 sellers recorded over ¥100 million each in sales
17 sellers recorded over ¥500 million each in sales
while six merchants crossed ¥ 1 billion (~$150.9 million)
It appears to have become a trend for new flagships to have one issue or the other. Just when we were getting over the Pixel 2 XL‘s display issues among many others, some iPhone X owners have reported a strange green line on their displays.
From the images provided, the vertical green line is on either side of the screen and doesn’t appear until after some time. So even if your phone is currently working well, it may develop the problem later on.
Some say the cause of the green line is due to an electrical fault that is causing multiple green sub-pixels to light up. The iPhone X uses a diamond subpixel pattern which has the green subpixels appear in lines.
The Galaxy S7 Edge of last year is said to have suffered a similar fate but in its own case had a pink line. Samsung later admitted that the cause was a hardware problem and had to replace affected units.
Since this is probably a hardware issue too, the only fix is to take in your device for a replacement. One person has been reported to have gotten a replacement after taking his device to the Apple store.
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.

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 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.

Like the larger Infinity Display phones, it is likely to carry support for an aspect ratio of 18.5:9. However, he has not revealed any information on its specifications or its launch.
Compact-sized smartphones are still popular as they are pocket-friendly devices. Last year, Apple had launched a 4-inch iPhone SE smartphone. Speculations are rife that the company may debut a second-generation iPhone SE 2 in first quarter of 2018.
Some may speculate that the alleged small-sized smartphone Infinity Display could be the Galaxy A3 (2018). As mentioned above, the upcoming Galaxy A5 (2018) and Galaxy A7 (2018) are pegged to arrive with Infinity Display design. However, the rumor mill is silent on the existence of Galaxy A3 (2018).
