In what can be termed highly unusual and a very very rare occurrence for a device manufacturer, Google has sort of just confirmed the recently leaked Pixel 4 render by OnLeaks is genuine. It not only did that but also released an official render alongside.

The confirmation was made on Twitter by the official Made by Google (@madebygoogle) account. The attached render shows the Pixel 4 in black with its square-shaped camera module. This render also gives us a clearer look at the camera module and we can confirm it houses two cameras.

Well, since there seems to be some interest, here you go! Wait 'til you see what it can do. #Pixel4 pic.twitter.com/RnpTNZXEI1

The Pixel 3 (and Pixel 3 XL) is one of the best camera phones out there and it has a single rear camera. Now that Google is adding an extra sensor, we can’t wait to have our minds blown. Google knows we are excited and even teases us by saying “Wait ’til you see what it can do”.

The rear cameras are on opposite sides of each other while the LED flash is at the bottom and what should be the laser focus module is at the top. There is also a smaller hole a few millimeters to the right of the flash. We are not sure but that might be a hole for a secondary microphone.

There is no fingerprint scanner on the rear which might be a hint that it will have an in-display fingerprint scanner. The Pixel 4 is also shown to have a white power button that sits above the volume rocker which is painted black.

However, Google is keeping the design of the front of the phone a secret. OnLeaks’s render shows there is a small slit at the top of the screen for the earpiece and presumes the phone has a notch. We don’t know how wide or deep it is but we hope Google has learned its lesson with regards to the ridiculous notch of the Pixel 3 XL.

While the specs are still unknown, we are pretty sure it will come with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 855 processor and run Android Q out of the box. It should also have wireless charging like its predecessor.

The Google Pixel 4 is still months away from release. If we are to go by last year’s release date, then we still have to wait four more months. Nevertheless, Google seems to be bad at keeping its devices a secret (the Pixel 3a leaked months before release) and if it still hasn’t plugged those leaks yet, we might have more leaks before the official launch!

Google isn’t the only one adopting a square camera module this year, the 2019 iPhones are also coming with the same design. Interesting times we are in, interesting times.

The Nokia X71 is an upcoming smartphone from HMD Global. There are reports that the X71 will be released globally as the Nokia 6.2. The rear panel for the Nokia 6.2 has been seen on Amazon India and it reveals some interesting new details.

The image for the listing reveals the Nokia 6.2 will come in black and white. There may be more colors but these two are confirmed for now. There are two cut-outs on the panel – a long one for the cameras and another for the fingerprint scanner.

The Nokia X71 is said to have three rear cameras but looking at the cut-out for the cameras on the Nokia 6.2’s panel, We doubt that will take three cameras and an LED flash. That cut-out will only be able to fit two sensors while the third is for the LED flash. If it were made to fit three sensors, it will be larger.

Take a look at the Nokia 5.1 Plus and Nokia 6.1 Plus which both launched first in Asia as the Nokia X5 and Nokia X6, they have a similar rear panel which houses two sensor and the LED flash while the fingerprint scanner sits underneath the setup.

If the Nokia X71 and Nokia 6.2 a.k.a. Nokia 6 2019 are the same phones then both will come with dual rear cameras and not triple rear cameras. At least based on the panel of the Nokia 6.2 shown above.

A render of the Galaxy S10 has surfaced online that shows only the rear of the phone. The image reveals that the Galaxy S10 will even differ more from the Galaxy S10+.

Galaxy S10+ 3D renders released by OnLeaks yesterday show the phone will have four cameras on the back. For the Galaxy S10, Samsung is cutting down the number of rear cameras by half which means there will even be a significant difference in the camera performance of both phones compared to their predecessors.

The Galaxy S10’s rear cameras are arranged horizontally and share the same housing with the LED flash and the blood pressure monitor. There is no fingerprint scanner which confirms it will also have an in-display fingerprint scanner like the Galaxy S10+.

The phone is covered in glass and is curved on the sides. The volume rocker and Bixby button are on the left while the power button is on the right. There is also what appears to be a TPU case with a large cut-out beside the phone.

Sony is set to change the design of its phones this year. There is no confirmation yet if it will cut across all models, but we at least expect the flagships to be among. One of them is the Xperia XZ Premium 2 whose renders have surfaced online.

The Xperia XZ Premium was one of the first Snapdragon 835 phones announced last year though it didn’t go on sale until much later due to availability of the Snapdragon 835 chip. Its successor is the Xperia XZ Premium 2 and it has an entirely different look in these renders made by Concept Creator.

First, the bezels have been greatly reduced to make way for the tall display with an 18:9 aspect ratio. Even with the smaller bezels, the phone still sports dual front facing speakers. Although, instead of the slits we are familiar with, they are circular holes cut into the bezels.

On the rear, the phone does look like its covered in metal, but judging from the design of its predecessor, it is most likely glass. Notwithstanding, there is a big change on the rear and that is the dual rear cameras arranged in a vertical position.

And just like the XZ Premium, the Premium 2 has a USB-C port at the bottom and a 3.5mm audio jack at the top.

It is already a tradition that the few months leading up to the launch of flagship phones from manufacturers such as Samsung and Apple are usually filled with endless leaks. Today we have gotten our hands on exclusive pictures of the upcoming Galaxy S9+ wrapped up in a bunch of colorful cases.

The Galaxy S9+ is the bigger sibling of the Galaxy S9. However, unlike this year’s Galaxy S8+ which mainly differs from its smaller sibling with respect to screen size and battery capacity, the Galaxy S9+ is much more different.

The Samsung Galaxy S9+ will come with dual rear cameras like the Galaxy Note8 albeit in a vertical arrangement while the smaller Galaxy S9 will make do with a single rear camera.

The cameras are flanked on the right by the LED flash and heart rate monitor, and below by the fingerprint scanner. The re-positioning of the fingerprint scanner is one of the changes users will appreciate most as there were complaints about that of this year’s flagships.

With the new design, your index finger will naturally rest on the scanner and you won’t have to deal with smudges on the lens of the camera like in the case of the Galaxy S8 and S8+.

The front of the phone doesn’t reveal much. All we can make out is the infinity display which will keep its 18.5:9 aspect ratio. The bezels are smaller but we are sure the top is home to a plethora of sensors.

The Samsung Galaxy S9+ will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 mobile platform in some markets and the Exynos 9810 in others. Launch is rumored to be in Barcelona during MWC 2018.

Other than Gionee, Huawei is another manufacturer that has churned out full-screen smartphones in quick successions. Its latest is the Enjoy 7S, another mid-ranger sporting the Kirin 659 processor and also dual rear cameras.

Huawei Enjoy 7S Design

The Huawei Enjoy 7S sports a full-screen display with minimal bezels and a two-tone finish on the rear. The upper part where the cameras sit and the lower part which houses the antenna have a lighter shade compared to the rest of the phone. Our guess is that the lighter parts are made of plastic while the area around the fingerprint scanner is metal.

The cameras are raised but sit closer to the edge compared to that of the Honor 7X. However, both the 7S and 7X share a similar front design even though the latter has a larger display.

The Honor 7S measures 150.1 x 7 2.05 x 7.45 (mm) and weighs 143g.

Enjoy 7S Specs

The Huawei Enjoy 7S packs a 5.65-inch 2160 x 1080 display. It comes in 3GB RAM + 32GB and 4GB RM + 64GB variants and both are powered by the Kirin 659.

It has dual rear cameras like its cousin the Honor 7X but in a 13MP + 2MP combo. There is also an 8MP front facing camera for selfies.

While the Honor 7X comes with Android Nougat out of the box, the Enjoy 7S gets Android Oreo with EMUI 8.0 on top. Some of the features it brings includes single key split-screen and face unlock.

The Enjoy 7S has a 3000mAh battery capacity, dual SIM support (nano only), storage expansion slot (256GB max.), rear mounted fingerprint scanner, and Bluetooth 4.2. You also get a micro USB port and a 3.5mm audio jack at the bottom.

Huawei’s sub-brand, Honor, released its latest flagship, the Honor V10 just a few weeks ago. However, new teaser posters on their official Weibo page has revealed there will be another launch on December 13. Our guess is it’s either the Honor Note 9 or Honor 9 Lite.

The two posters feature Chinese singer and actor Hu Ge. In one, he is shown wearing a pair of sunglasses on his face and in the other he has the glasses on the back of his head. There is also the figure 4 written in a bold white font on the posters. We believe this means that the phone will have dual front and dual rear cameras.

Honor already has a phone with four cameras. It is the Honor 9i in India which is also the Huawei Maimang 6 in China, the Huawei Nova 2i in Malaysia, and the Huawei Mate 10 Lite in other markets.

There were rumors that Honor would launch the Honor 9 Lite/Youth alongside the Honor V10 but only the latter was announced. Our guess is that the event will be for the Honor 9 Lite or maybe even the Honor Note 9.

To be honest, Huawei and Honor’s naming scheme and product releases are starting to get really confusing. Having one phone launch with 4 or 5 different names in different markets doesn’t make any sense.

Apart from the Maimang 6 and its multiple aliases, another example that comes to mind is the Honor 8 Lite which is also known as Huawei P8 Lite (2017) in France, Huawei P9 Lite (2017), and the Huawei Nova Lite (Singapore).

The post New Honor Device With 4 Cameras Launching December 13, Honor 9 Lite or Honor Note 9? appeared first on Gizmochina.

The Huawei Maimang 6 (or Huawei G10) is set for a September 22 release. The unique selling points of the phone are its dual front and dual rear cameras in addition to its full-screen display. Just a few days ahead of its release, live images showing the front and rear of the device have been posted online.

The unit leaked is the silver variant which has a white front just like the official render of the black variant leaked by Evan Blass a few days ago.

The display is a 5.9-inch screen but thanks to the reduced bezels, it will have a compact size compared to other large screen phablets. The image of the front gives us a look at the dual front facing cameras, sensor, earpiece as well as a front flash. The bezel at the bottom has the Huawei branding.

Huawei has adopted a vertical design for the dual rear cameras. Above it and integrated into the antenna line is the LED flash. Beneath the camera setup sits a fingerprint scanner. There is the Maimang series logo and the Huawei name at the bottom of the phone.

The Maimang 6 will be official on Friday and will be available in black, blue, gold, and silver.

The info about Rhone at the moment is that the phone will have dual front and rear facing cameras. This is not unusual in a phone. There is the Alcatel Flash and the Gionee S10 but this will be Huawei’s first.

The Huawei Rhone is also said to be powered by the Kirin 659 processor, and will have a 3240mAh battery. That is as much as we know about the phone at the moment.

What the Huawei Rhone will eventually launch as is a mystery as well as when. We also can’t say if it is a special device like the Huawei Honor Magic. Whatever Huawei is brewing, we are looking forward to it.

The Gionee S10 is a set to make a statement with its quad cameras when it launches a few days from now. Not the first smartphone to have dual cameras on both sides but it might be the one that ends up in your pocket judging from these camera samples we got our hands on.

The Gionee S10 will feature a 5.5-inch FHD screen, 6GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. Its rear cameras include a 16MP sensor and an 8MP sensor. Gionee says both the front and rear dual cameras will be able to take professional level portrait mode images with real time depth of field thanks to the ISP present in the phone.

The front facing cameras is a combination of a 20MP sensor and an 8MP sensor. We presume the 8MP sensor is a wide-angle lens. The rest of the specs includes a 3450mAh battery and a 2.5GHz octa-core Mediatek processor.

We have also gotten official images of the Gionee S10 in the five colors it will launch in. Buyers will be able to choose from silver, green, red, blue, and black.

The OnePlus 5 is a highly anticipated device and because of that there will be a lot of leaks, genuine and fake flooding the internet. While most of the features and its design are still unconfirmed, one thing we can be sure of is that it will be powered by a Snapdragon 835 processor.

A new image showing the rear of the OnePlus 5 has surfaced online. Since it is unconfirmed, we advise you take it with a pinch of salt. First, the color of the phone is the same Gunmetal Grey of the OnePlus 3T and you can make out the blurred OnePlus logo below the camera. However, that is where the similarities end.

The OnePlus 5 has dual rear cameras arranged in a vertical setup and the antenna lines are different but familiar. Familiar because they are the same as those on the OPPO R9S and the Samsung Galaxy C9 Pro. OPPO calls it the split antenna design and we have no issues with the way it looks on the OnePlus 5.

The phone also appears smaller in terms of the width, hinting at a possible reduction in side bezels. This will probably make handling the device a lot easier.

The OnePlus 5 is scheduled for a Summer release but the exact day has not been revealed yet. It is rumored to come with 8GB of RAM and dual cameras.

Gionee has released a teaser image confirming that the Gionee S10 will indeed feature dual front and rear cameras. The teaser image shows Chinese singer, Xue Qian holding a dual camera phone.

The image was posted by Gionee’s VP, Yu Lei on Weibo and was accompanied by a text mentioning the phone’s four cameras. It has also been stated the singer will serve as brand ambassador for the Gionee S10 phones.

We have seen three variants of the Gionee S10 surface on TENAA. One has just a single camera on the back and front, another has dual cameras on the rear and a single camera in front, and the most recent one confirmed to be called the S10 and not S10 Plus (the other two will have suffixes attached to their names) has four cameras.

The Gionee S10 is powered by a 2.5GHz octa-core processor, 6GB of RAM, 64GB of storage, and runs Amigo OS based on Android 7.0. The rear camera is a 16MP + 8MP combo and the one in front is a 20MP+ 8MP sensor. It will come with a 3450mAh battery and be available in black and gold.

The Gionee S10 is actually not the first smartphone in the world with four cameras. The Alcatel Flash or Alcatel Flash X (depending on the market) is the first.

UPDATE: Turns out the image is from here of the Honor V9! So, this is not our first look of the Honor Note 9….

Eight months after Huawei’s Honor brand launched the elegant Honor Note 8, an image said to be that of the Honor Note 9 has leaked online. This is coming not long after the company launched its first flagship for the year, the Honor V9 as well as the Honor 8 Lite.

The leaked image purported to be that of the Honor Note 9 indeed highlight the possibility that the smartphone would come with a ultra-large sized display that should be upwards of 6 inches just like its predecessor. Although, the device was only revealed from the back, it likely that it would pack a large display with a high screen-to-body ratio.

The little we can see has so much to tell and the details include an all-metal body, as well as a rear fingerprint sensor which is likely an indication of the absence of a front physical button. Rumor has it, though, that the device would feature a full-screen design with the home button integrated into the display. The Honor V9 leaked image also shows the smartphone will come with a dual camera setup at the rear, unlike the Honor Note 8 that had just a single rear camera. The Note 9 may likely pack the latest Kirin 960 chipset and may have a 2K display like the Note 8.

Huawei’s CEO Yu Chengdong recently hinted that the company will be joining the ranks of brands with large bezel-less display packing smartphones soon but we don’t know if the Honor Note 9 is that special breed that would lock horns with the Mi Mix and others. But the device is rumored to launch this summer so, we’ll be seeing more leaks as  the days go by. I’d say this year is just getting more and more interesting.

LG is not keeping any secrets as regards the LG G6. The Korean giant has been giving us steady bits of info for weeks now. The latest is a blog post that talks about the cameras on the device.

In the post, it is mentioned that the LG G6 will feature a front camera with a 100º field of view. The dual 13MP rear cameras will however take it further by having a 125° viewing angle. LG explains that one of the cameras does the job of providing that extra view. The wide angle lens will allow you fit more objects into your viewfinder especially when taking landscape photos.

In addition to that, the LG G6 will come with 360° panorama mode; a food mode that amps color saturation; and what is called a square camera feature that splits the screen in half, with one half showing what you just shot. The latter is actually a way to make use of the 18:9 aspect ratio of the display.
