Xiaomi is expected to be the first Chinese company to launch the Mi 11, 11 Pro(Tentative) flagships with Snapdragon 875. In fact, it’s one of the companies rumored to bring the flagship SoC to the masses very quickly. As usual, the device has been on the radar of leaks frequently. Adding to the tally, the latest find by XDA member shows that the device could have a QHD+ display.

As per the XDA report, kacskrz, an XDA member and tipster, has spotted new strings on the latest MIUI 12 build. Accordingly, the said build based on Android 11 shows that the UI extends support to FHD+ and QHD+ resolution display. In fact, the resolution appears as 2400×1080 for the former, and 3200×1400 pixels for the latter.

Now, if we recall, a week ago, tipster Digital Chat Station hinted that a high version of the flagship(Possibly the Mi 11 Pro) will support 120Hz refresh rate QHD+ resolution. Coming back, the string with QHD+ resolution also has a message that the setting “consumes more power”. This is a no-brainer as displays with higher resolutions tend to draw more energy and hence companies post a warning.

That said, do note that none of the strings have any indication that Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro has the QHD+ display. The string appears on one of the latest MIUI 12 build. Generally, Xiaomi adds new codes to its MIUI when it plans to introduce something in the future. Hence, this resolution could be on the upcoming Xiaomi flagship. Plus, as per early reports, it could also have other display features like SDR-to-HDR unmapping, AI enhancements, MEMC, and more.

Moving on, the string also has options for battery saving modes which suggests that Xiaomi might switch the resolutions(QHD+ to FHD+) automatically to extend battery life. This is similar to what companies do today for the high-refresh-rate screens to save battery. Anyway, let’s wait and see how things pan out.

Xiaomi Mi 11, 11 Pro Specifications(Expected)

Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro from what we know, is expected to feature a QHD+ display with a 120Hz refresh rate, curved punch-hole screen, Qualcomm Snapdragon 875 SoC. While the ‘Pro’ variant is tipped to support 50MP rear camera output, an MIUI 12 code suggests that the Mi 11, with codename “venus” likely has a 108MP sensor-equipped triple-camera.

Having said that, features like CPU, storage, might be shared by the two. Also, both could have the 100W fast charging that Xiaomi revealed this year.

Today is a big day for Samsung and for Samsung fans and other tech enthusiasts. Today, Samsung takes off the wraps on its new flagships, the Galaxy S8 and the Galaxy S8+. It has been like an endless wait for ages with all the teases and leaks and juts right before the launch, we get another leak. This time revealing a nearly complete specification sheet of both phones.

The info comes from TENAA (China’s equivalent of the FCC) and it answers all the question about the phones’ specifications.

Samsung Galaxy S8 Specs

The Galaxy S8 is the smaller of the two variant and can be termed the direct successor to the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge. According to the TENAA listing, it sports a 5.8-inches (Super) AMOLED display with a resolution of 2960 x 1440 (WQHD+). This resolution is said to be user adjustable based on a recent leak. Owners of the S8 will be able to switch from the above resolution to either FHD+ (2280 x 1080) or HD+ (1480 x 720).

There will be two memory configurations: a 4GB RAM + 64GB model and a 6GB RAM + 128GB model. Both models can be expanded via a MicroSD card slot that accepts up to 256GB cards. Since this is the Chinese variant, the Galaxy S8 is powered by the Snapdragon 835 chipset clocked at 2.45GHz.

Samsung has equipped the S8 with a 3000mAh battery and pre-installed the phone with Android 7.0 Nougat. The phone weighs 152g and has a dimension of 148.9×68.1×8.0 (mm).

The listing also shows what’s in the box alongside the phone. Buyers will get a charger, a data cable, an OTG adapter, and a pair of earphones. The earphones are definitely the AKG earphones rumored to come with the device.

According to the information on TENAA, only the black variant of the Galaxy S8 will be available in China.

Samsung Galaxy S8+ Specfications

The Galaxy S8+ sports the same resolution as the S8 but gets a larger 6.2-inch display. It is powered by the same 2.4GHz processor and comes with same memory configuration mentioned above. It’s own listing however reveals the camera details. The S8+ will have a single 12MP sensor on the rear and an 8MP sensor in front. Chances are that these are the same sensors on the Galaxy s8 too.

The larger screen means the S8+ deserves a bigger battery and it gets compensated with an extra 500mAh (3500mAh). The Galaxy S8+ is heavier with a weight of 173g and measures 159.5×73.4×8.1 (mm). It runs Android 7.0 Nougat as well and comes with the same accessories. It will also be available in gold, blue, and black.

Yesterdays saw the release of the 4K teaser image from Elephone, we now have 2 new images that confirm what Elephone have been working on, its the Elephone 4k action cam.

The Elephone 4k action cam allows recording of video in the following formats and frames per second, 720 HD video at 120 frames per second,1080p full HD at 60 frames per second and 4K at 15 frames per second.

A 170 degree wide angled lens is mounted up front to capture the video, this wide an angle will get pretty much everything in your field of view (so be carefull what shoes your wearing).

Most sites are stating that the Elephone 4k action cam comes with a 16 mega pixel OV4689 sensor, however the OV4689 is actually a 4 mega pixel sensor rather than the widely stated 16 mega pixel.

This is the sensor used in other action cams such as the Soodoo F60, it does achieve 4K at 15 frames per second on the Soodoo F60, but it would appear that the resolution is probably achieved via interpolation up to 4k rather than being a native sensor resolution.

The Elephone 4k action cam features an  Allwinner V3 chipset ARM Cortex A7 processor @ 1.2GHz, this is a chipset that is finding its way in to a fair number of China based action cams.

The Elephone 4k action cam has built in WIFI support and can be connecter too and operated via an Android or IOS devices, as yet control software has not been shown.

A micro SD card is supported, most China based action cams support up to 64gb, support for 128gb would be a nice addition if it can be pulled off by the Elephone 4k action cam.

I hope that Elephone will spend time optimising their hardware to try and get quality  on par with the market leaders such as Gopro, but until we get some hands on time with a review unit we will have to wait and see.

As usual any questions or comments can be left below.

Kind regards Shanos
