Meizu is expected to release the Meizu E smartphone on August 10 and ahead of the launch, more image renders and details have surfaced online via Chinese social networking site, Weibo. All we know about the smartphone, apart from those officially released by Meizu, originated from Weibo and we are still being served more juicy details from the popular microblogging platform.

A Weibo user has exposed the first image render of what is said to be the paper box casing for the Meizu E with just a simple inscription, “Blue Charm E” printed on it.

Also, the AnTuTu score of the Meizu E which will likely adopt the monicker M1 E has been exposed. The leaked data details the device to pop with an Octa-core 1.8GHz MediaTek Helio P10 MT6755M chipset with Mali-T860 GPU. The device is also shown to feature 3GB of RAM, 32GB of internal storage and 13MP main camera. The device will also run on Android 6.0 Marshmallow operating system.

In addition, the Meizu M1 E was rumored to sport a 5.5-inch display and the AnTuTu benchmark data has revealed that the phone’s display will have a resolution of 1080 x 1920pixels.

Apart from the black colored variant of the Meizu M1 E, we also saw a render of the silver colored variant of the M1 E and quite honestly, the smartphone looks more or less like a replica of the MX6 flagship launched not long ago.

We served you a report earlier on which originated from Weibo, alleging that the Xiaomi Redmi 4 will be launched on August 25 . Although a rumor, there seem to be some credibility in it as more details about the specs and price of the Redmi 4 has been outed.

More rumors have emerged that the Xiaomi Redmi 4 will sport a metal body design, and would feature a fingerprint sensor and as earlier reported, a 5-inch 1080p display. Also, the device is said to feature a 2GHz octa-core Snapdragon 625 processor with Adreno 605 GPU. The Redmi 4 is also touted to come with 3GB RAM and 32GB built-in storage in the base variant (an indication that there will likely be higher memory versions). The smartphone is also packing along a huge 4100mAh battery which is said to support Quick Charge.

In addition, the device was spotted on benchmarking website Geekbench and the listing revealed the Xiaomi Redmi 4 will boot Android 6.0 Marshmallow out-of-the-box as well as a few other details.

As for the price, the Xiaomi Redmi 4 is rumored to start at 699 Yuan ($106) for the base version with 3GB RAM and 32GB of built-in storage. An impressive price tag it should be if it turns out to be true, considering the high-level specifications it crams under its hood, like the faster processor, ramped up memory and battery capacity when compared to the Redmi 3 and Redmi 3S.

Xiaomi Redmi 4 Rumored To Debut On August 25 With Snapdragon 625

After the launch of the Xiaomi Redmi Pro with dual cameras at the back, news about Xiaomi’s upcoming smartphones have died down lately. But now, latest rumor from the Chinese social networking website, Weibo states that the company is all set to announce a low-end device later this month and the phone is going to be none other than the Redmi 4.

This is not the first time we are hearing about the Redmi 4 budget device, but it’s the first time someone is claiming that the launch is going to be as soon as August. The person who leaked this info has also given a date, August 25. So, the Redmi 4 is said to be launching on Thursday, August 25.

Along with the launch date, the source also gave out probable specs of the Redmi 4. It is said that the phone may come with Snapdragon 625 chipset with a 5-inch 1080p display. Now, if you remember, a few days back, we had seen alleged pictures of the Redmi 4 and it was running an octa-core chip clocked at 2GHz. We assumed it as the Helio P10 but this source says that we may find Snapdragon 625 inside.

However, the latest rumors contradict the earlier reports which said that the Redmi 4 could feature Helio X20 deca-core chip. Looks like, we still can’t be sure of what to expect inside the upcoming budget smartphone.

Apart from leaking details about the Redmi 4, the source also said that Xiaomi could release a new flagship model in September. It most likely should be a model from the Xiaomi Mi Note 2 series which is due for an update. However, analyst Pan Jiutang is pretty sure that the Mi Note 2 is going to be announced in August itself, so it remains to be seen what this mystery device could be in September, i.e. assuming that this leak turns out to be true.

One possibility is that, if the Mi Note 2 is announced in August, then a special version, like the dual curved display model, probably called as the Mi Note Edge (as mentioned by earlier rumors) could be announced in September.

Of course, these are just rumors for now and we don’t know anything for sure. But considering the aggressive release strategy by Xiaomi in the past few months, we can expect to see a few more interesting devices in the next few months.

Leak of iPhone 7 Screen Panels Claims 1080p and 2K Resolutions

Aug 9, 2016

Screen panels of the upcoming iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus (seems we are back to calling it Plus) have been leaked online by a Weibo user. One of the panels has a size of 4.7” and the other is 5.5 inches. The source however says the 4.7” screen will be Full HD and the 5.5” LCD panel will have a 2K resolution.

The iPhone 6 Plus and 6s Plus are the only iPhones with 1080p screens. Now that screen size is getting bumped up to 2K and the smaller 4.7” is getting the Full HD treatment. That’s a significant upgrade in pixel density, but unless Apple is also bumping up the battery a lot which doesn’t seem to be so (as a mock-up of the iPhone 7 Plus reveals it is thinner than the 6s Plus), battery life might drop.

Researchers Have Found A Way Hackers Can Spy on You Via Your Monitor

Aug 9, 2016

Another day, another security vulnerability to be worried about. A group of researchers working for Red Balloon Security have discovered that it is possible for hackers to see and manipulate what is currently displayed on your monitor.

What this means is that hackers can now copy details of what is displayed on your screen or fake entire websites leading you to enter private information and payment details. For more dangerous acts, the hackers can mess up a monitor that displays vital controls for railway lines, airport routes, or power plants; faking an emergency and causing a shutdown or evacuation.

How this is done wasn’t specifically explained but the researchers say it is not limited to a particular brand of monitors. There is however an upside to the hack. It is slow and takes time for images to load, so if you are always looking at the monitor, you should probably notice something suspicious happening.

OnePlus 3 Survives 750-feet Drop Test in Video

Aug 9, 2016

The OnePlus 3 is the latest flagship and fourth device from Chinese phone manufacturer, OnePlus. Made from a single slab of space grade aluminium, to achieve the unibody design, OnePlus also says apart from being lightweight, the OnePlus 3 has outstanding strength. And how else do you prove that last part other than by carrying out a drop test?

The OnePlus team headed to Mimizan, France, to carry out this drop test. The phone is thrown out of an airplane flying at an altitude of 750 ft. The phone survives the drop, though it lands on a grassy plain which is still sufficient to damage a phone, but can’t be compared to landing on tarmac, asphalt, or concrete. You can watch the video to see for yourself.

The OnePlus 3 has a 5.5” optic AMOLED display with Corning gorilla glass 4, a snapdragon 820 processor clocked at 2.15GHz, 6GB RAM, 16MP rear camera, 8MP front camera, runs Android 6.0 Marshmallow, and is powered by a 3000mAh battery with support for OnePlus’s fast charge technology dubbed Dash Charge.

OnePlus 3 DASH Charge floors Samsung Galaxy S7’s Fast charge in test (Video)

Thanks to Chinavasion for sending Homtom HT17 smartphone for a review.

Aug 8, 2016

OnePlus released the OnePlus 3 flagship smartphone with a new feature which they called DASH charge which provides up to a day’s charge of the device in just 30 minutes. Basically, smartphone batteries have seen little or no improvement in the type of battery in use, perhaps due to advancement in RAM, processor, display technology which is believed now makes the smartphones use less battery capacity.

The only noticeable advancement that has come to the battery should be that of Fast Charging technologies which usually give the impression that instead of hours of charging, you can now achieve a reasonable amount of charge capacity in just minutes. Now OnePlus, with its DASH charge technology isn’t intent on keeping quiet about the capabilities of its charging technology.

Recently, the guys at OnePlus pitched the OnePlus 3 DASH charge against the Samsung Galaxy S7’s Adaptive fast charge and the results showed the OnePlus 3 DASH charge performed better than the Galaxy S7’s. It’s all up in a video clip if you’re interested in having a peek.

It is quite surprising that the pocket-friendly flagship OnePlus 3 can compete with the top-end, expensive Galaxy S7 (some thinks Samsung’s just got the name, not the juice) but then charge time varies depending on phone configuration, settings, usage while charging and power source and OnePlus stated that fact in the video.

Both smartphones were subjected to their own charging technologies for 30 minutes, with both starting off from 1% of battery power left. In the end, when the results rolled in, the OnePlus 3 was able to achieve up to 64% charge while the Samsung Galaxy S7 reached just 50%.

That’s not all, another test was done with both displays turned on and this time the results were incredible, if not embarrasing. Starting off from 5% apiece, while OnePlus 3 was able to achieve 67% charge capacity in 30 minutes, the Galaxy S7 only got to 23% in the same time duration! Here though, the display resolution of both smartphones would play a vital role, with the Galaxy S7 sporting a higher QHD dsplay than OnePlus 3’s FHD. Also, even though both flagships boast of 3000mAh batteries, Samsung’s TouchWiz user interface could have made the difference, with a notorious reputation of exerting too much strain on the battery.

In all, the OnePlus 3 DASH charging technology deserves some accolades for this feat and it only shows OnePlus means business when they say their smartphones are flagship grade with affordable price tags.

As mentioned, there can be quite a few factors that affect charging times and rates, even if both smartphones have equal 3,000 mAh batteries. Samsung’s TouchWiz interface has been notorious for being a resource hog, though it has certainly improved over the years. Still, the Galaxy S7 is loaded with features that could affect how fast it can gulp power, especially when the display is left on.

Still, it’s an impressive feat for OnePlus, especially considering the DASH Charge technology hasn’t been out the market for even three months. The company is definitely not shy about singing its praises, going as far as showing how fast it works even while playing a game, one of those “don’t try this at home” scenarios. The one drawback to DASH Charge, aside from lacking long-term real-world tests, is that it will work only with OnePlus’ USB-C cable in addition to the official charger. Considering how OnePlus 3 is not exactly using the standard USB Type-C, that might mean having to carry around another compliant USB Type-C cable for everything else other than the OnePlus 3.

Homtom HT17 Review: VIDEO REVIEW

Homtom HT17 Review: UNBOXING

For just $66, you get all the usual accessories and some extras like a soft TPU case and a screen protector.

Homtom HT17 Review: SPECS

Display	5.5″ 720p (HD)
Processor	Mediatek MT6737, quad-core, 1.1GHz (max)
RAM	1GB
Camera	5MP Front/13MP Back (interpolated from 2MP/8MP, accordingly)
Connectivity	Bluetooth, 3G, 4G, GPS, WIFI, GSM,EDGE, GPRS, UMTS, HSPA, HSPA+, dual-SIM.
Battery	3.000 mAh (removable)
Dimensions	152×78 x8 mm / 163g
OS	Android 6.0
Storage	8GB (expandable via microSD card slot up to 64GB)

Homtom HT17 Review: DESIGN and DISPLAY

The phone is made of plastic but the build quality is surprisingly good. The phone does not look fancy or anything but it does not look very cheap either. The 5,5” 720p display is pretty good but the main shortcomings are that it has a poor brightness output that leads to a subpar sunlight legibility.

We have a 5MP interpolated selfie camera along with LED notification light. The capacitive buttons, however, are not backlit.

Rounded corners of the soft plastic back help with the grip and thus it is quite comfortable to hold the phone in the hand.

You can easily remove the backplate and underneath it, you will find 2 SIM card slots and the microSD card slot. Also, you can remove the 3000mAh battery.

As for camera, we have an 8MP sensor that can take 13MP pictures and the LED flash. The fingerprint scanner is a nice addition considering a low price of the phone. It is not the fastest on the market but it is pretty accurate and it unlocks your phone straight from the standby mode.

The loudspeaker is mediocre in general but it is very good for the phone this cheap.

The buttons are tactile and easy to press.

Homtom HT17 Review: HARDWARE and PERFORMANCE

For the price of just $66, you can’t expect any great specs. The Homtom HT17 ships with the quad-core MTK6737 chip, which has maximum clock speeds of 1.1GHz, 1GB of RAM and just 8GB of expandable storage.

The phone is definitely not designed for the hardcore gamers but you can still enjoy some games if you reduce the graphics settings. There are quite a few skipped frames while playing Asphalt 8 but it is still possible to enjoy playing it.

Homtom HT17 Review: BENCHMARKS

Homtom HT17 Review: USER INTERFACE

As for user interface, the device ships with Android 6.0 out of box. It clearly reminds stock Android but we have some redesigned icons and added features.

For example, there are plenty of gesture and motion controls that work pretty well.

The day-to-day performance of the UI is pretty fast. There were a few minor hiccups and it may take a bit longer to open certain apps but I was happy with the overall speed of the user interface.

Homtom HT17 Review: IMAGE QUALITY

The image quality is definitely far from the best but it is one of the best if we talk about sub-$60 phones.

The phone can take some pretty good looking photos in daylight but it will struggle in lower-lit situations.

The 720p video quality is mediocre as on most of the phones in this price range. See a video review for a video sample.

A front-facing camera is a bit disappointing as the images lack detail.

Homtom HT17 Review: CONNECTIVITY

As for connectivity, I didn’t have any issues with Wifi, call quality or signal reception. Even the GPS lock speeds are fast and it is usable for navigation.

Homtom HT17 Review: BATTERY LIFE

The 3000mAh battery will last you at least a full day, depending on the usage. I could get around 4 hours of screen-on time on a mixed use of the phone.

Homtom HT17 Review: CONCLUSIONS

Homtom HT17 is a budget phone that brings quite a lot of value for money.

It has a decent display and good build quality, some added features in the user interface, decent overall performance and a fingerprint scanner that works pretty well.

Also, the phone has an okay camera, which is a rare feature to have in this price range.

However, don’t expect to play the high-end games or take a lot of low-light photos with this phone – the performance will be pretty disappointing. Also, the display could be slightly brighter.

Other than that, Homtom HT17 is a surprisingly good and usable $66 phone, despite a few shortcomings.

Samsung May Stop Making Flat Screen Galaxy Flagships In The Future

Love the dual edge curved display on the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge? Well, you are not the only one! In fact, we have seen that the S7 Edge model easily outsold the flat screen Galaxy S7 flagship this year. And with the beautiful Note 7 now out in the market, there is no doubt that our love for curved screen smartphones will intensify further.

And now, there’s a new report that Samsung may actually stop making flat screen Galaxy S series smartphones. The report states that the company will put more focus on manufacturing curved screen smartphones in the Galaxy range, thereby hinting that it could eventually eliminate flat screen models in the flagship lineup. The report quotes the comment made by the head of Samsung’s Mobile division last week.

“Samsung has considered that it would make the edge display as the identity of the Galaxy S smartphone lineup if the company can provide consumers differentiated user experience through software and user-friendly functions (for the curved screen),” said Koh Dong-jin, the head of the tech giant’s mobile business, in a media interview in New York last week.

For the past couple of years, Samsung has traditionally unveiled the curved edge variant alongside the flat screen model. However, with the Note 7, things are a bit different, with the company just launching one variant with the dual curved screen. This is yet another indication about the company’s intentions of focusing on curved screen models, instead of a flat screen one. And it looks like the Note 7 is going to be the model which will help the South Korean giant to make the decision of scrapping flat screen models out of the lineup.

What do you think? Would you be happy to see just one curved screen Galaxy S8 model next year?

Apple’s engineers are always working on new inventions and improvements for existing devices. We usually get to see some of these great ideas when the US Patent and Trademark Office decides to publish patent applications of the Cupertino-based company. Last week, they published a new one.

The new patent is a modification of the iPad’s smart keyboard which gives it a secondary flexible display. The patent has multiple claims which include the display presenting a set of virtual keys that defines an application’s toolbar; and the display being capable of receiving a multi-touch gesture configured to move an application from the application toolbar to the first display(the iPad’s screen) amongst others.

FCC Filing of GoPro Hero5 Reveals Built-in GPS. Leaked Video Shows New Touchscreen UI

By

Aug 8, 2016

The GoPro Hero5 action camera already showed up at FCC and details reveal it will come with an in-built GPS which will keep track of the location where an image or video was taken just like you have on phones. There will probably be an option to turn it off for those who don’t fancy it.

The Hero5 will be thinner and lighter than the Hero4, have dual WiFi bands (2.4GHz and 5GHz) and bluetooth low energy. While the news about it having a thinner and lighter body might be good news, it leaves people asking if the new action camera will work with the accessories of previous models.

A leaked video posted by Reddit user, Konrad Iturbe, shows that the GoPro Hero 5 will be getting an improved user interface. To access basic settings like WiFi, microphone, preferences, and connected devices, users of the Hero5 will simply slide down from the top of the screen and navigate to whichever setting they want to modify. The video also shows a new device called the GoPro Sniper whose function is currently unknown.

There’s no news on the date of release for the GoPro Hero5 but some say it might come as early as September or as late as December (most probably in time for holiday shopping). GoPro will also be launching a drone called the GoPro Karma.

The GoPro online shop also shows all the items are out of stock. This might mean the new camera is launching earlier than expected.

“Quadrooter” Security flaws Hit 900 million Qualcomm Powered Android phones

By

Aug 7, 2016

A new set of Security vulnerabilities affecting Android smartphones and tablets that are powered by a Qualcomm chipset have been uncovered. These set of four newly discovered flaws affects over 900 million devices and could let attackers take control of an affected smartphone or tablet.

Dubbed “Quadrooter” the vulnerabilities which are four in numbers was discovered by researchers at US-based Check Point Software Technologies. The Tech company first notified Qualcomm of its chipset vulnerability in April and industry standards allow for a 90-day period for Qualcomm to produce and distribute security patches to fix the vulnerabilities before the vulnerabilities were made public.

The Quadrooter security flaws allows attackers to trick a user into installing a malicious app which ordinarily would require permissions but in this case, no special permissions is required. When this happens, an attacker can gain root access to the Android device’s hardware, including its camera and microphone and the phone’s data.

The list of smartphones affected cuts across brand names and price range, as long as the device is powered by a Qualcomm processor. Even Google’s own branded smartphones, Nexus 5X, Nexus 6 and Nexs 6P are not spared. And even Samsung’s latest Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge flagships are not spared from the security flaws. Quite hilariously, Blackberry’s much hyped “most secure Android smartphone”, the Blackberry DTEK50 is also vulnerable to one of the four flaws.

A Google spokesman has confirmed the existence of the flaws and hinted that a security patch to fix the flaws will be made available in September. But before that happens, Android users can protect themselves from the QuadRooter Qalcomm chipset vulnerability and all potential threats by only downloading apps from the Google Play Store, avoid using unsecured WiFi connections, and avoid the practice of Rooting Android phones, at least for now.

Also, whenever Android updates become available users should ensure they install the updates as soon as possible and running security apps like ZoneAlarm or Mobile Threat Prevention could help as well. Aside that, Android users should ensure they carefully read and consider the permissions apps request when being installed. Unusual requests for battery or data access should be deemed suspicious and investigated or denied.

Xiaomi Smartwatch to carry a cheap price tag, Analyst reveals

Aug 7, 2016

Xiaomi Smartwatch has been rumored to be in the works since last year and is said to launch this September. The Smartwatch has also being the subject of numerous leaks and rumors, and it is a highly anticipated gadget.

While we are yet to see what the Xiaomi smartwatch looks like, except in sketched images, we have got an idea of what price the gadget will likely carry when ever Xiaomi finally launches the smartwatch. According to the well-known industry analyst Pan Jiutang, the Xiaomi smartwatch will be priced less than 1000 yuan ($150). Mr Juitang disclosed this via a post on Weibo and went further to add that the smartwatch would clutch a price tag much cheaper than Garmin smartwatches.

The Xiaomi smartwatch is likely to feature a larger display than the Band 2, and focus on a particular function. Smartwatch manufacturers are particularly keen on health-related functions, so we may see the smartwatch boast of such features and more. But, apart from the existence of the device as well as the release timing, and likely price tag, nothing else is known about its specifications. As we draw nearer to the expected release date, more hypes are likely to come out about the smart gadget.
