The most anticipated device to be unveiled at IFA Berlin next week is the LG V30. The V30 will be the company’s second flagship of the year and will take on fellow Korean competitor, Samsung’s latest smartphone, the Galaxy Note 8.
LG has released a few teasers for the device, with some even taking a jab at the Galaxy Note 8. However, its latest one is titled “The Next V: Immersive Sound” and the twenty second video seems to advertise the audio prowess of the LG V30.
LG has placed a focus on the audio performance of its devices in recent times. The LG V20 has a Quad DAC that greatly improves the audio quality and the Korean version of the LG G6 has it too.
For the LG V30, news floating around says it will have audio enhancements from Bang & Olufsen. This won’t be their first partnership as the Korean version of the V20 shipped with Bang & Olufsen earphones. While there are few details as regard the “immersive audio”, we believe it won’t fail to impress when it arrives.
It is no news that Google is already working on a successor to the Pixel and Pixel XL flagships which they launched last year. The tech giant is expected to release two models which would be known as Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL. Before now, there has been the rumour that the second-gen Pixel models would go official on October 5 which is the exact date the first-gen Pixel phones were launched last year.
Also, it was recently outed that the Pixel 2 and XL would feature the Snapdragon 836 chipset which is yet to be announced by Qualcomm. The SD 836 s expected to be slightly faster than the Snapdragon 835 processor which has been the Systems-on-Chip on most Android flagships this year so far. One interesting rumour concerning the Pixel phones is concerning the design. According to rumour, the difference between the Google Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL will not only in size but also in the design. Te Pixel 2 XL is said to feature a design which would see the display having ultra-thin bezels on all sides while the Pixel 2 will retain the design which the Pixel came with. This is as a result of the fact that the Pixel 2 will be manufactured by HTC while LG will manufacture the Pixel 2 XL. Last year’s models were manufactured in partnership with only HTC.
In addition to that, the larger Pixel phone will sport a 5.99-inch 1440p OLED display which will have a taller, bezel-less screen, while the Pixel 2 is expected to come in at 4.97-inch 1080p display with a lesser but equally good 1080p resolution but the display will have larger bezels. Both models are also expected to feature dual front speakers on both phones, squeezable displays similar to what we have on the HTC U11 as well as an always-on display mode. If rumours are anything to go by, then the second generation Pixel phones will not pack the 3.5mm audio jack.
Meanwhile, check out these cool renders of the Pixel 2 designed from leaked details below.
This year marks ten years since the first iPhone was released. To celebrate the event Apple will release a special edition iPhone currently called the iPhone 8.
The iPhone 8 will reportedly be launched alongside the iPhone 7s and iPhone 7s Plus. It will be the first iPhone with an OLED display, wireless charging, and an edge-to-edge screen design. All these new and exciting features will not come cheap as The New York Times says it will be priced around $999.
Chinese tech blog, IThome adds that the price is for the 64GB model. The 256GB version will sell for about $1099 and the unconfirmed 512GB variant will be priced at around $1199. iPhones are usually not cheap. So with the new features coming and a new design, we are sure people are going to be falling over themselves to pick up a unit.
There are rumors that the event will hold on September 12 but until Apple officially announces the date, take it with a pinch of salt. Production is said to be underway as we have seen leaks of certain components in recent weeks.
Will you pick up the iPhone 8 when it launches irrespective of its price or will you settle for the lesser priced iPhone 7s or iPhone 7s Plus?
Samsung took the wraps off the much-anticipated Galaxy Note 8 flagship on August 23 at the Galaxy Unpacked 2017 in New York. Samsung is expected to unveil the flagship in China but looks like China won’t see an early launch. A new rumour on Weibo hints that the Note 8 China Edition will be launched on September 29. The delay could be so that the Galaxy S8 stock could be cleared since the prices are expected to be the same.
Already, the Galaxy Note 8 China Edition had earlier been certified by TENAA bearing model numbers SM-N9500 and SM-N9508. The TENAA listing shows the Note China Edition will come in Black, Blue and Gold colours and the specs will basically similar to that launched in New York. The only difference seems to be that there will be a 4GB RAM version meant for the Chinese market, according to the TENAA listing. Who knows, Samsung may shake things up by also including an 8GB RAM version just like it did for the botched Galaxy Note 7 in China.
As a reminder, the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is equipped with a 6.3-inch Super AMOLED display with 2960 x 1440pixels resolution. The device comes with a Snapdragon 835 version as well as an Exynos 8895-powered model with 6GB RAM and 64GB, 128GB, and 256GB storage options.There is also a 3,300mAh battery on board. The Note 8 also packs a 12MP wide angle + 12MP Telephoto cameraBoth lenses support OIS optical image stabilization which is the first in the world. In addition, it also supports 2x optical zoom and 10x digital zoom. The device is expected to come with a price of 6,088 Yuan (~$915) in China for the 6GB base variant, perhaps.
Xiaomi launched the Redmi Note 5A early this week as the first of the 5th gen Redmi line. The Note 5A comes in three different variants with different specs and prices. Giztop, our online shop now has the 3GB RAM variant in stock.
All three variants have the same 5.5-inch HD display, 13MP rear camera, 3080mAh battery and run MIUI 9. Where the 3GB RAM model (and 4GB too) differs includes having a Snapdragon 435 processor, a 16MP front facing camera with LED flash, and a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner.
The Redmi Note 5A has a dedicated microSD card slot. That means if 32GB isn’t enough storage for you, you can throw in a microSD card and not have to sacrifice any of the nano SIM slots.
Xiaomi Mi 5X was announced back in July to cater the needs of a cheaper dual camera smartphone in the market. The idea behind the smartphone was simple, use a similar dual camera setup as the Xiaomi Mi 6 flagship and put it inside a mid-ranger, with decent specs. So, the Mi 5X (full specs here) isn’t as powerful as the Mi 6, but its camera is still quite capable, thanks to the sensors inside. The cheaper price also makes it available to a much wider crowd with a limited budget.
On first glance, the dual camera setups on both the phones seem identical. But the setup is much more different than what you may realize, as the sensors inside the Mi 5X are not from Sony or Samsung, instead they are from OmniVision (OV). The basic specs remain the same, like one 12MP sensor with 1.25µm pixel size and another one with 12MP 1.0µm pixel size. But the sensor manufacturer, as well as the apertures, are different than what’s used inside the Mi 6.
The table below should give you a good idea about the setups used by both the devices.

The Mi 5X’s primary OV12A10 comes with a slightly larger 1/2.8″ sensor as compared to IMX386 (1/2.9″). The aperture on the Mi 6 is bigger though, f/1.8 vs f/2.2.
When it comes to the real life performance of both the handsets, it’s quite similar. But there are a few differences seen in these samples as well. For example, on most occasions, the Xiaomi Mi 6 had much sharper images. It was even more evident when you zoom into the pictures. But interestingly, the Mi 5X managed to take brighter images.
In terms of color saturation, the Mi 5X seems to be better. However, sometimes, the pictures look over saturated, different from what it looks in real life. So, if you are someone who likes images which are closer to reality, the Mi 6 is a better option.
Portrait mode is better on the Mi 6 as the object tracking on the Mi 5X is not as good as its elder sibling. The colors on the portraits are much more natural, unlike the Mi 5X which captures somewhat whitish images (kind of what we see in beauty mode).
Low light images are much sharper with the Mi 6. The f/1.8 aperture lets in more light and therefore we get more details as well. However, once again, the Mi 5X tends to take brighter images, although they are not as sharp as the Mi 6.
To conclude, the Xiaomi Mi 6 does well in this comparison but so does the Mi 5X. Despite being almost $150 cheaper, the Mi 5X manages to keep up with Xiaomi Mi 6’s camera on most occasions. It won’t be as sharp as the flagship model, but it’s capable of capturing high-quality images, making it one of the top camera phones in its price segment.
Check out the Xiaomi Mi 5X vs Xiaomi Mi 6 camera images down below and let me know which phone do you think takes better images. I have added zoomed in images of the samples whenever possible.

The Alcatel Idol 4 and Idol 4S were released over a year ago at Mobile World Congress. Their successors, the Idol 5 and Idol 5S will be launched at IFA Berlin next week. Details of both devices have showed up online.
Alcatel Idol 5S
Alcatel Idol 5S Design
The Idol 5S sports a nearly identical design to that of the Idol 4S. The main difference is the design of the front facing speakers which now have fewer but larger holes. We presume that change applies to the speakers at the back too. The forehead and chin are still thick though, so even with a 5.2-inch screen, it will be big.
The Idol 5S also features the Boom Key, below the volume rocker which can be used to fire up the camera, as a shutter button or turn on the volume boost. Power button and SIM tray are on the left.
There are no images of the rear of the phone.
Alcatel Idol 5S Specs (Mediatek and Qualcomm)
The Idol 5S (6060) will launch in two variants. One will be powered by a MT6757CH SoC (Helio P25) and the other will feature the popular Snapdragon 625. Both variants have been seen on GFXBench and differ with respect to processors, RAM, camera features, NFC, and version of Android they are running.
The Idol 5S will have a 5.2-inch full HD display, 3GB of RAM for the Snapdragon model and 2GB RAM for the Mediatek model. Both variants have 32GB of built-in storage. On the rear sits a 12MP camera with LED flash and up in front is an 8MP camera.
The Mediatek and Qualcomm chips are both octa-core SoCs using the Cortex A53 cores. The Helio P25 is clocked at 2.3GHz and has a Mali-T880 GPU while the SD625 is clocked at 2.0GHz and sports the Adreno 506
The rear camera on the Snapdragon variant can record in 4K but that info is missing from the Helio P20 variant. So while the pixel count are the same on both devices, the sensors may be different. The Mediatek variant however has the advantage of having NFC.
Both phones run Nougat but the MediaTek variant is Android 7.0 and the Snapdragon model runs Android 7.1.1
The only detail missing for the Idol 5S is the battery capacity. The price of the Mediatek variant of the Idol 5S is said to be 399 Euros (~$476).
Alcatel idol 5
Idol 5 Design
The images of the Idol 5 reveal that Alcatel is taking a different route with respect to the lower specced version of the Idol series. Unlike the Idol 4 which shares a similar design to the Idol 4S, the Idol 5 is a different device entirely. There are no dual front facing speakers neither is there a Boom Key.
The front of the Idol 5 shows the device has thick bezels. The chin is bare but at the top, you will find the earpiece flanked on the right by the front camera and on the left by the sensor.
On the rear of the phone, is the main camera sitting at the top left corner with a dual LED flash a few millimeters from it. Positioned in the middle is a fingerprint scanner and below it is the IDOL branding. Further down is Alcatel’s logo.
The Idol 5 has adopted the U-antenna design and it looks nice on both the silver and black variants. The back of the phone curves at the sides to allow for a more comfortable grip.
Samsung has just launched the flagship Galaxy Note 8 as perhaps, its first smartphone with dual cameras. The tech giant may have got another smartphone with dual cameras lined up in quick succession. The Galaxy J7+ as it is called had appeared in a leak which hinted that it will be the Galaxy J7 (2017) China Edition. That might just be wrong as the device has appeared in Thailand where it is tipped to launch soon.
The device is expected with a 5.5-inch Super AMOLED display with 1920 x 1080p resolution. The device will be fired up by an Octa-core processor which would likely be a similar Exynos 7870 chip featured on the Galaxy 7870 and it will be complimented by a 4GB RAM. There will also be 32GB of expandable storage. The dual cameras at the rear will be a 13MP f/1.7 sensor while the second sensor will be a 5MP f1.9 one. The device is also expected with a 16MP front camera for nice sefies. The dual cam is revealed as capable of Samsung’s new Live Focus portrait mode which features on the Galaxy Note8.
One spectacular feature will be the presence of Bixby voice assistant on the Galaxy J7+ which is a mid-range smartphone. The dedicated Bixby button will be located on the left. The device will also come with a front fingerprint sensor, a metal unibody, a 3,000mAh battery, and dual-SIM slots with 4G /3G capabilities. According to the leak source, the Galaxy J7+ will go official in Thailand any moment from now and would be available in Black, Gold and Pink.

The glass has a 3D curved design and comes with a silicone gasket which fits the eyes very well, providing comfort and also prevents the entry of water into the eyes. The nose stump is also replaceable. The has a mirror and frame which seems to be molded together. The mirror finish keeps the underwater vision unchanged and provides a wide field of view. The lens also comes with a special anti-fog coating which ensures nothing impedes the wearer view underwater.
The Swimming google comes with a price tag of 69 Yuan ($10) and is presently available on the Mi Home crowdfunding platform.
Xiaomi is known for producing all sorts of gadgets. The Xiaomi M365 scooter is one of the most interesting ones as it is a convenient means of transportation that is portable and quite affordable.
The Xiaomi M365 scooter or Xiaomi Mijia Scooter it’s called is an electric scooter with a claimed range of up to 30kms. It’s got two air fill rubber 8.6″ tires, 250w front hub motor (peaks at 500watts) The battery capacity is 280Wh, takes 5 hours to fully charge.
Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 is expected to be launched in September and as this month draws to a close more and more rumours and leaks continue to emerge. Just yesterday, we saw what was said to be the rear cover of the Mix 2 which really didn’t tell us much other than that the device may still come with a ceramic body. Now, a photo which looks like the front view of the Mi Mix 2 has appeared on Weibo purportedly grabbed from a shoot session which would be used for the Mix 2’s ad campaign.
Philippe Starck had earlier given us an idea of how the Mix 2 would look like when he shared a video of the concept Mi Mix 2 last week. The device featured in this case looks similar to Starck’s concept video in that it seems to utilize a full screen bezel-less display. The device had “Mix 2” written on the waterproof coating on the display and that is just all.
The leakster did reveal that it is the Mix 2 and that it would feature a large screen and ceramic body. The device is also tipped to launch next month. In addition, another picture alleged to be that of the Mix 2 but we can’t really confirm if it is.
Sony is expected to debut the Xperia XZ1 and Xperia XZ1 Compact with flagship specs on Aug. 31. Yesterday, the leaked renders of Sony Xperia XZ1 were revealed by well-known leakster, Roland Quandt. The leakster has today revealed the official looking renders of the Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact.
The images of the Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact shows that its design similar to its bigger sibling, the Xperia XZ1. Also, the smartphone has a thicker appeal. The handset seems to be sporting a polycarbonate body with matte finish and its antenna lines are not visible.
Such a design was also seen on the Xperia XA1 Ultra. Like the XA1 Ultra, the XZ1 Compact may feature a NFC chip at the center of its back panel. Another distinctive feature of the Xperia XZ1 Compact that is similar with its bigger sibling is that it features a horizontally aligned LED flash that is placed some distance away from rear camera.
There is a possibility that the fingerprint reader would be embedded under the Power button on the right edge of the phone. The right side of the Xperia XZ1 Compact also features a volume rocker and a dedicated camera button. The topside of the smartphone features a 3.5mm audio jack and the microSD card / SIM card slot is present on the left side of the phone. The frontside features a pair of speakers placed respectively on the top and bottom bezels.
Previous reports have revealed that the Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact has a model number of G8441. Its listing on Geekbench and AnTuTu has revealed the key specs of the smartphone.
The benchmark listing of the Xperia XZ1 Compact have revealed that it would be coming with a 4.6-inch screen that may carry support for HD resolution of 720 x 1,280 pixels. Like its larger sibling, the XZ1 Compact is speculated to be powered by the Snapdragon 835 chipset and 4 GB of RAM. It may feature a 19-megapixel Motion Eye sensor on its rear side. Also, it is pegged to feature a 2,800mAh battery and come preloaded with Android 8.0 Oreo.
Quandt has revealed that it would be selling in the U.K. with a pricing of 499 GBP (~$638). A Polish retailer has revealed that the Xperia XZ1 Compact would be coming in color choices such as Black, Horizon Blue, Snow Silver and Twilight.
Xiaomi launched the Mi Note 2 at the same time as the Mi Mix last year and since the Mi Mix 2 is expected soon, it is just apt that Mi Note 3 would be launched soon as well. The Note 3 had made the rounds severally on leaks which hint at the possible specifications the device will launch with. The Mi note 3 was also rumored as launching in the third quarter of the year and recently, the rumor mill went agog with talks of the device being launched in August or September. A sure thing is the Mi Note 3 is coming and pretty soon. Ahead of that, we just have spotted the first camera sample from the device.
Xiaomi’s CEO Lei Jun recently shared a photo of a newly opened Mi Store opened in Hong Kong and the picture was noticed to have been posted on Weibo from an unnamed Xiaomi phone. That caught the attention of an eagle-eyed tech blogger who checked up the EXIF data of the picture and luckily it was still intact. It was later removed but not before the blogger had grabbed a screenshot (See below). Interestingly, the EXIF data showed that the picture was shot using the Mi Note 3. Apart from that, the photo even revealed some details of the Note 3’s camera like an f1.8 aperture, 12MP resolution, and a few others.
Clearly, this is another indication that the Mi Note 3 is coming soon. Recall that Lei Jun had shared a photo some time ago with an aspect ratio which suggested it was captured using the Mi Mix 2. Perhaps, Lei Jun has a knack for using all the Xiami models before they become official.
The Xiaomi Mi Note 3 is said to sport a 5.7-inch display and will be powered by a Snapdragon 835 processor backed by 6GB of RAM. It is also expected to feature a 12MP dual camera setup among other features. The Mi Note 3 may likely be unveiled along with the Mi Mix 2 just the same way the Note 2 was launched with the Mi Mix last year.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 that was announced on Aug. 23 features 6 GB of RAM for all of its storage model such as 64 GB, 128 GB and 256 GB. Soon after the debut the Galaxy Note 8, its two more editions have appeared on China’s TENAA certification body. The two new variants with model numbers SM-N9508 and SM-N9500 feature 4 GB of RAM.
When the specifications of the Galaxy Note 8 with 6 GB of RAM is compared with the specs of its 4 GB RAM variant, there is no difference in their specs and design. Like the 6 GB RAM variant of the Note 8, its 4 GB RAM model is listed on TENAA with 64 GB, 128 GB and 256 GB storage sizes.
The Galaxy Note 8 also comes in two CPU models. The Snapdragon 835 edition of the Note 8 is meant for two markets such as U.S. and China. The Exynos 8895 edition of the phablet is meant for other markets.
The TENAA listings of the SM-N9508 and SM-N9500 reveals that both the phablets are powered by 2.35 GHz octa-core processor. This suggests that these models are powered by Snapdragon 835 and could be heading to China and some other Asian markets The Galaxy Note 8 carries a pricing of $930 for its unlocked model in the U.S. It suggests that its 4 GB RAM variant could arrive with a $100 cheaper pricing.
The Note 8’s pricing for the Chinese markets have not been officially announced. However, the rumor mill has revealed that the 64 GB edition of Galaxy Note 8 is expected to be priced at 6,288 Yuan (~$942). The 4 GB RAM Galaxy Note 8 may cost around 5,664 Yuan (~$850) in China.
In China, Samsung is struggling to rival with other Chinese brands like OnePlus, Xiaomi and ZTE that are selling flagship smartphones with dual rear cameras with much lower pricing. The Galaxy Note 8 is Samsung’s first flagship phone with dual rear cameras and its pricing way higher than OnePlus 5, Xiaomi Mi 6, and ZTE Nubia Z17 that sell flagship phones with similar specs. A 4 GB RAM variant of the Note 8 may allow the South Korean company to take on the popular brands in China.

In the previous week, ASUS had introduced the ZenFone 4 series of smartphones and it seems that the Taiwanese company has one more addition to the new series. A leaked image of a smartphone named ASUS ZenFone 4 Selfie Lite has appeared with a model number of ZD553KL. The image contains the color variants as well as the pricing of the phone.
The ASUS ZenFone 4 Selfie Lite features a 5.3-inch display that offers an HD resolution of 1,280 x 720 pixels. The image has revealed that the smartphone features thick bezels and it features black bars around the display. The Home button below the display appears to enabled with a fingerprint reader.
The smartphone is powered by Snapdragon 425 chipset is coupled with 3 GB of RAM. There is no information available of the internal storage of ZenFone 4 Selfie Lite. The external storage of the smartphone can support for 32 GB of microSD card.
It is expected to come preinstalled with Android 7.0 Nougat OS along with the custom skin of Zen UI. An 16-megapixel is expected to sit on the rear side of the smartphone that will be coupled with features like phase detection and autofocus. There is no information available on the exact configuration of the selfie snapper.
Like the ZenFone 4 Selfie and ZenFone 4 Selfie Pro smartphones, the Lite edition is expected to arrive with 120-degree wide-angle dual selfie cameras. There is no information available on the size of the battery of ZenFone 4 Selfie Lite. The ASUS ZenFone 4 Selfie and ZenFone 4 Selfie Pro are respectively packed with a 3,000mAh battery. It is likely that Lite edition may come house a smaller battery as it appears to smaller chassis than the other ZenFone 4 Selfie phones.
The leaked image has revealed that it would be coming in three color options such as Sunlight Gold, Deepsea Black, and Mint Green. In China, the smartphone is expected to be available with a pricing of 1,299 Yuan (~$195).
The ZenFone 4 Selfie Lite would become the seventh smartphone in the ZenFone 4 series. It is likely that ASUS may add some more devices in the same series before the end of 2017. There is no information available on the launch date of ZenFone 4 Selfie Lite but it is likely to debut soon.
Elephone is joining the 18:9 smartphone club soon. The company seems to be working on a new phablet with an 18:9 aspect ratio, joining the likes of Samsung, LG and even small time manufacturers like Leagoo. The new model is reportedly called as the Elephone C8.
Elephone’s take on an 18:9 display is a bit different than what others are trying to do. The company is taking inspiration from LG, instead of Samsung for its new C8 smartphone. So, you don’t have a bezel-less display, but the screen to body ratio is still pretty impressive. In fact, in the picture above, you can see how the 5.7-inch Elephone C8 looks besides the iPhone 7 Plus with a 5.5-inch display. The iPhone model is noticeably taller than the C8, which means despite its large screen, the Elephone model should be quite comfortable to work with.
If Elephone gets its specs right, the phone will definitely be an interesting option for customers.
You can check out more details about the Elephone C8 and even the bezel-less S8 that’s up for sale from here:Elephone’s official website
Huawei revealed a couple of days back, via a video teaser, that it would be holding a news conference where it will unveil its latest Artificial Intelligence processor. The Huawei Mobile AI as it was tagged, will launch on September 2 in Berlin, Germany in the thick of IFA 2017, according to the teaser
Huawei CEO Richard Yu has once again shared another teaser video which points at the launch of the Mobile AI and perhaps shows how the chip will look like. The teaser contains just three words in a slide format- “Expect More Speed”, as well as the hash tag- #HuaweiMobileAI. Richard Yu dubbed the speed as being beyond imagination in his short Weibo write up. This pops up the possibility that the chip may likely speed up the performance of the smartphone. Huawei is also expected to unveil the Kirin 970 which would be used on the Mate 10 and it is likely that the chip would be integrated with the AI technology. The AI could likely also be used on other mobile gadgets apart from smartphones.
Apart from speed, we can’t tell what other features the AI will add to the chip that would be of more benefit than most of the AI around which seems to be just a Voice Assistant. Recall that Huawei had earlier teased that its AI will be more than just a Voice Assistant. We expect to see more teasers showing more capabilities of the AI in the coming days. You can check out the video teaser by following the source link below.
