Xiaomi’s 100th Mi Home Store in China Opens

May 29, 2017

Xiaomi was once heralded as the internet phone king of China after it took the centre stage in selling its smartphones in China. That has however seen a decline due to the influx of other phone makers into the online channel. The likes of OPPO and Vivo have even outpaced Xiaomi by incorporating both offline and online sales channels, leading to a serious decline in revenue. This has prompted the company, dubbed the Apple of China, to open offline stores in China.

Xiaomi had revealed last year that it plans to open 1000 Mi stores across several cities in China by the year 2020. In order to achieve that target, the company’s CEO Lei Jun hinted earlier this year that this company would open over 200 retail stores this year. The company has now hit 100 stores in total since the start of the project.The figure followed the opening of four new shops in Zhengzhou, Guangzhou, Foshan and Shanghai. The achievement si coming just five months after the 50th Mi home store was opened in December.

At present, the Mi Home stores are located in major cities like Beijing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Nanjing, Chengdu, Hangzho, Wuhan, Zhuzhai, Zhengzhou, Changsha, Wuxi, Dongguan, Jinan, Dalian, Xiamen, Qingdao, Shenyang and others. Apart from sales, the shops cater for after sales service needs of customers as well as sales of accessories and technical support services. From the look of things, the Mi Stores seem to also stock other Mi smart gadgets apart from smartphones.

Xiaomi has so far released quite a number of products this year and the pace seems not to be abating. With its recent determined pace, could we see Xiaomi contending at the top three at the end of this year? That is looking likely, even though its competitors are not sleeping either.

May 29, 2017

Meizu‘s much anticipated Pro 7 has been one elusive device that is still yet to get a specific launch date. The phone has been the subject of a couple of renders in the past and yet again, another render just appeared online. Surprisingly, this latest rendering of the Meizu Pro 7 is said to have emanated from Russia, one country where Meizu has a strong following.

The render could best be described as a blend between the Samsung Galaxy S8 when viewed from the front and the iPhone 7 Plus with its dual rear camera at the rear. It features a curved edge display with tiny bezels at the top and bottom, perhaps where the selfie cameral as well so, physical home button. The rear camera is positioned on the top left corner, just link is on the iPhone 7 Plus. The device also comes in two shapes of black.

Even though the render was nothing more than a fan-generated render, it was enough to draw a response from Meizu when it was revealed in Weibo. Meizu’s new Senior VP who just joined the team Yang Zhe hinted that while the render looked attractive, it was no where close to how the Pro 7 would look when launched. The VP however refused to reveal more details.

We can take this as, perhaps, an indication that the Pro 7 is still in the work. More especially as Jeffery Yang is senior VP in charge of the the high-end series where the Pro 7 falls into. There is also a rumor that the Pro 7 would be the next Meizu phone to launch but the launch wouldn’t be next month, June. We look forward to the Pro 7 ‘ s launch as it looks like a well packaged device.

OPPO R11 Full Specifications & Camera Samples Revealed

May 28, 2017

OPPO continues to pain the terrain green in preparation of its upcoming launch of the R11 scheduled to take place on June 10. The company has for a while now been teasing the R11’s images in video ads and posters but we are yet to see the real photo of the device up-close. Well, we’ve got one now.

The close shot of the OPPO R11 affords us the opportunity to access the design very well. From what we can see, the R11 isn’t very much different from the R9-series in terms of design. Well, except for the unique dua cameras that the device features at the rear. Talking about dual cameras, the R11’s dual setup is tipped to be a powerful setup and the recently released sample photos of the device lends credence to that. OPPO recently shared three sample photos captured by the R11’s dual cameras. The photos look crystal clear without any trace of image noise or any other anomaly.

Talking about the specs, the OPPO R11 is expected with a well-packed specs lineup marshaled by Qualcomm’s latest mid-range SoC, the Snapdragon 660 chip. The main feature on the device is the 16MP + 20MP dual camera setup that sits at the back of the device. The camera is said to integrate Qualcomm’s top Spectra 160 ISP and is also a depth optimised camera. Don’t forget it also comes with a 2X lossless zoom feature as well as a professional portrait mode whose samples we had earlier seen.

In addition, the OPPO R11 will come with a 5.5-inch 1080p AMOLED display with 4GB RAM as well as 64GB of storage. The device also packs a 2900mAh battery and there is no 128GB version. An OPPO R11 Plus is also said to be coming and the device recently appeared on TENAA where the specs are listed as a 6.0-inch 1080p display with 6GB RAM and a 3880mAh battery. Both models run Android 7.1 Nougat modified with Color 3.1 OS.

Snapdragon 845 Will Feature ARM’s New Cortex-A75 and A55 Cores

By

-

May 28, 2017

There are just a handful of Snapdragon 835 powered smartphones in the market at the moment but Qualcomm is already working on a successor. The Snapdragon 835 is an impressive chipset but the Snapdragon 845 is bent on pushing performance further. To do that, it will be sporting some brand new cores.

The Snapdragon 835 is an octa-core processor built on the 10nm node design. New leaks have revealed that the Snapdragon 845 will be built on the same 10nm design. However, the difference between both chips lies in their CPU cores.

Cortex-A75 Cores

Unlike the SD835 that uses eight Kryo 280 cores, the Snapdragon 845 will feature ARM’s new Cortex-A75 and Cortex-A55 cores in a BIG.Little configuration.

The question now is how powerful are the new A75 and A55 cores? The info provided says the A75 will provide an improvement in performance greater than 20% over the Cortex-A73 and about 40% over the Cortex-A72. For power consumption, the A75 will maintain the same performance as the A73.

[envira-gallery id=”133501″]

The new core A75 was compared against the A73 on various benchmarking tools and we can see how well it trumps the A73 on Geekbench v4. The A75 will have a maximum clock speed of 3GHz, a 200MHz increase over the A73’s 2.8GHz which should translate to improved single and multi-thread performance.

Cortex A55 Cores

Now heading to the power efficiency cores, the Cortex-A55 will provide up to 2 times more performance over the A53 and will see improvements up to 15% in power efficiency.

The Cortex-A55 still has a couple of new tricks under its sleeve. Up till this moment, you could only pack up to 4 cores in a single cluster. However, that changes now. The A55 can be packed in a cluster of 8 cores. So processors like the SD625 which contain 8 Core-A53 cores in two clusters of 4, can now become a single cluster with the A55 for even way better battery life or 16 cores packed in two clusters. We are sure MediaTek will be pretty excited with this new development.

[envira-gallery id=”133504″]

The Cortex A55 was also benchmarked and the results were compared against the A53 and the results speaks in favor of the A55.

Alleged OnePlus 5 Image Leaks, Wrapped Up In A Case But Reveals Vertical Dual Rear Cameras

By

May 28, 2017

The OnePlus 5 is scheduled for a Summer launch, although there is no date yet, there are rumors it is next month. Over the past couple of weeks, there have been tons of leaks regarding the design of the OnePlus 5.

A new image said to be that of the OnePlus 5 surfaced on Weibo yesterday, and like the others, the focus is on the dual rear cameras it is supposed to launch with.

The OnePlus 5 in the image is wrapped up in a case but the cut-out for the rear cameras reveals a vertical setup. Directly below the rear cameras is the LED flash. The camera design is similar to that of the OnePlus 2 due to the rectangular shape of the camera housing.

Up front, just below the 5.5-inch display is a fingerprint scanner that doubles as a home button and at the top left corner is the front facing camera. The images don’t give a view of the top and bottom of the phone, so we can’t tell if there is a 3.5mm audio jack.

Xiaomi Jason Appears on GFXBench Sporting 6GB RAM and Snapdragon 660 Processor

By

-

May 28, 2017

A new device codenamed Xiaomi Jason has been seen on GFXBench. Since the Mi Max 2 is already out of the way, the only device we are thinking it might be is the Redmi Pro 2. However, the display size is what’s preventing us from ruling outright that this is the Redmi Pro 2.

According to the info on GFXBench, the Xiaomi Jason has a 5.1-inch FHD display. This is smaller than the size of the original Redmi Pro which is a 5.5-inch display. This singular reason makes us think it might not be the Pro 2.

There is also a possibility that Xiaomi decided to cut down the display size just the way Motorola did with the Moto G5 Plus and offer the Redmi Pro 2 as a top tier mid-range phone. But reducing the screen size isn’t the only thing required for a top mid-range phone.

The Xiaomi Jason runs Android 7.1.1 Nougat, has 6GB of RAM, and 64GB of storage. It is powered by an octa-core Qualcomm CPU clocked at 2.2GHz and an Adreno 512 GPU. There is no doubt that this is the Snapdragon 660 chip, the king of the mid-range chips.

The rear camera on the Xiaomi Jason is an 11MP (12MP) sensor that can record in 4K while the front facing camera is a 3MP sensor. The latter is probably a 4MP UltraPixel sensor like the one in the Mi 5. Another feature the Xiaomi Jason has is NFC support.

If this isn’t the Redmi Pro 2, then we don’t know what it is seeing as Xiaomi’s CEO, Lei Jun has quelled rumors of a Mi 6c.

Leaked Images Show Cancelled Nokia RX-100 Phone With A Physical Keyboard Running Windows Phone 8

May 28, 2017

Back in 2012, there were rumors Nokia was working on a new smartphone with a physical QWERTY keyboard and a design similar to the E-series. It would run Windows Phone and it was expected to be unveiled at MWC 2012. Sadly, the phone never saw the light of day.

Today we get to see live images of a prototype leaked by @kev6n on Baidu. The model is unknown but the type is RX-100 and its running a developer preview of Windows Phone 8.

The screen is an AMOLED display and seems to be around 3-inches and there is 2GB of RAM on board. A system info page also shows the Nokia RX-100 is powered by a Qualcomm MSM8968 chip and the main camera sensor is a Toshiba Lada TCM8615MD.

Early LG V30 Design Images Reveals Secondary Display That Slides Out

By

May 28, 2017

There are several steps involved when it comes to making a phone. One of the interesting parts is the design stage, where several design ideas are submitted and only one is chosen. Sometimes we get to see some of these designs leak after the product is released, while at other times, it is before the product is even out.

These design images provided by Evan Blass (@evleaks) are said to be old mock-ups of Project Joan a.k.a LG V30. It is important to note that LG may no longer be using this design and the LG V30 may look entirely different. However, the design is interesting and is one that has never been seen before on a smartphone.

Weekend bonus: this is an old-ish mockup of Project Joan, a.k.a. the LG V30. Not clear if the project is still headed in this direction. [1] pic.twitter.com/k5jNJ7DyLz

— Evan Blass (@evleaks) May 27, 2017

First thing the leak reveals is the codename for the V30 which is Project Joan. So there’s a chance that other leaks in the future might surface under this name.

Going into the design, we see LG V30 sports the slide design of old that was brought back by the BlackBerry Priv. However, instead of sliding upwards to reveal a physical keyboard, we get a secondary display.

Here's how the device was envisioned to look with the secondary display fully extended. [2] pic.twitter.com/HNkZErj7xB

— Evan Blass (@evleaks) May 27, 2017

The secondary display serves a number of functions depending on the app in use as seen from follow up tweets. It can serve as a shortcut panel for a number of apps. In the image above, we see it holding a bunch of Google apps.

Finally, several use-case scenarios for the second screen. [3] pic.twitter.com/ZKucMOScam

— Evan Blass (@evleaks) May 27, 2017

In a third tweet, we see the secondary display take on a number of functions: as a sub-menu for a number of apps; a keyboard for a chat app, and an extension of the main screen when its locked. In the very first image, it even serves as a sort-of always-on display when you slide down the phone.

The Cubot R9 is Basically The Hafury Mix With A Fingerprint Scanner

By

-

May 27, 2017

Cubot has a new phone in the pipeline and after running through its specs, it sounds very familiar. That’s because it is the Hafury Mix with a fingerprint scanner.

Cubot owns Hafury just the way Huawei owns Honor. If you were to take a look at some of the releases from Huawei and Honor, you would notice there are some similar devices with little or no differences. Take the Honor S1 and the Huawei Fit for example. Bottom line is, what Cubot is doing with the R9 and Hafury Mix is not new.

The Cubot R9 packs a 5-inch HD display, 2GB RAM, 16GB ROM and a MT6580 quad-core chip. There is a 13MP rear camera and a 5MP front facing camera, both with LED flash and a 2600mAh removable battery. It will also run Android 7.0 out of the box.

Moto G5S Live Images Show its Metallic Body, Twin Rear Cameras

By

May 27, 2017

The Motorola Moto G5S and Moto G5S were first spotted in a leaked snapshot that was reportedly taken from a recent Lenovo conference. The snapshot revealed the different Moto devices that will be releasing this year. The leaked image showed the presence of two mid-range smartphones called Moto G5S and Moto G5S Plus. These smartphones are expected to release in the second of 2017. On Weibo, two images of the alleged Moto G5S Plus have appeared to reveal what to expect from the phone.

The first image that we have here shows the live shot of the “About Phone” screen of the Moto G5S Plus shows that the phone mentioned with a strange model number of Moto G (4) NZAE130706. The phone is running on Android 7.1.1 Nougat OS. It is powered by MSM8953 Snapdragon 625 chipset. The same SoC is present under the hood of the Moto G5 Plus that was launched in February this year.

At the topside of the image, the text “Motorola Confidential. Property Not for Sale” can be seen which indicates it is a prototype of Moto G5S Plus. The image shows presence of on-screen buttons. Even though it cannot be seen in the image, it seems to house a fingerprint sensor below the display like the one present on the Moto G5 Plus.

The Moto G5 Plus has a metallic back plate, but the antenna portions are carved out of plastic. Earlier this week, leaked renders of Moto G5S Plus had appeared to reveal its color variants such as Gold, Grey, Silver model with White front and Gold model with White front. The new shot also shows the Moto dimple at the rear side. However, the most striking change compared to the Moto G5 Plus is that the G5S Plus comes with a dual rear camera that is assisted by dual-LED flash.

Another noticeable that can be found on the Moto G5S Plus is that it will be coming with a 5.5-inch screen that produces full HD resolution. However, the Moto G5 Plus has a 5.2-inch full HD display. With only seven months remaining in this year, Lenovo has several Moto phones such as Moto Z2, Z2 Force, Z2 Play, E4, E4 Plus and Moto X4 waiting to get announced officially. The Chinese firm has recently launched the Moto C and Moto C Plus smartphones with very affordable pricing.

Full specification details of the Hafury Mix have been sent to us and with its price tag said to be about $60, you may find it hard getting a better alternative.

The Hafury Mix will sport a 5.0-inch 2.5D HD display, 2GB of RAM, and 16GB storage. A MeidaTek MT6580 processor clocked at 1.3GHz will be on board along with a 2600mAh removable battery.
