The search engine giant’s new Pixel 9a is the latest model in the Pixel a series that offers various improvements over its predecessor. In our previous report, it was revealed that the new smartphone from Google will be making its global debut on 19th March 2025, with its Indian release following a day later.

Apparently, he has already received the unit from one of his followers. Looking at the video, we can see the Pixel 9a from all angles, showcasing a flat design from the sides and rear. This makes its design language in line with the higher end flagship Pixel 9 series. Google’s latest Pixel can be seen in the Obsidian (Black) color option. But one of the notable aspects is the nearly flat rear thanks to a negligible bump on the camera, which is quite rare in the market now.

Just earlier this week, the Google Pixel 9a also had its promo marketing material and some official renders leaked. For those unaware, the new Pixel will be a compact smartphone with a 6.3-inch OLED panel on the front. Meanwhile, the rear is expected to pack a 48MP (Main) + 13MP (Ultra Wide) dual camera setup.

For those unaware, the Oppo Find N3 and OnePlus Open are basically the same device with different branding. So the latest leak basically offers us a look at both of the models. It was shared by a user on the Chinese social media platform, XiaoHongShu. In the image, we can see Wang Chi holding a smartphone with a circular camera module, which appears quite similar to the new Oppo and OnePlus foldable phones.

But this wasn’t the only sighting, as another video surfaced on YouTube, showcasing the device and its foldable display. The video was uploaded by Jagat Review, offering us a look at the crease in the upcoming Open or Find N3 foldable phone. The YouTube noted that the crease on the foldable phones isn’t as prominent as the one found in the one seen in the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5.

Although, the crease on the Oppo Find N3/OnePlus Oppo is expected to be around 37 percent smaller compared to the Find N2.

Ahead of Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event on July 26th, hands-on images of the Galaxy Z Fold 5 have surfaced online, providing a closer look at the device’s design. While the leaked images show similarities to its predecessor, the Galaxy Z Fold 4, there are a few subtle refinements worth noting.

Galaxy Z Fold 5 Highlight Subtle Design Refinements

The photos showcase the Fold 5’s cover display, back, and the redesigned hinge, which now allows the device to close fully flat. Although the overall appearance remains similar, keen observers will spot slight modifications in the rear camera setup, featuring a larger lens protrusion and a separate LED flash.

One image reveals the inner folding display; however, its quality makes it difficult to determine if the crease is visible. It’s important to note that the leaked unit appears to be a test model, as it features several identifying labels on both the front and back. The images were obtained by a Redditor who claims they were shared by someone looking to sell the unit.

In terms of design, the Galaxy Z Fold 5 seems to focus on subtle enhancements rather than major changes compared to its predecessor. Notably, Samsung has worked on making the device appear thinner when closed and has introduced a zero-gap hinge for improved aesthetics.

While external design updates are limited, the Galaxy Z Fold 5 is expected to offer notable internal improvements. Reports suggest a switch to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy chip, delivering faster and more efficient performance, along with speedy UFS 4.0 storage. The device is expected to feature a primary 50MP camera, a 12MP ultrawide camera, and a 10MP telephoto camera featuring 3x optical zoom.

With many aspects of the tech industry having reached a plateau and other blooming, one would say that now is the best and worst time to buy a product. In short, excellent but very homogenous products are available, especially in the gaming peripherals industry.
Many tried and many failed to change this status quo and a new product is ready to try doing that again. It is the GameSir G6s Touchroller mobile gamepad. When you are someone like me that reminisces the analog gamepads of Nintendo’s NES but at the same time loves the magic of the iPhone touchscreen, my expectations were not very high when I decided to try the upcoming gamepad.

Inspired by hybrid cars’ design and philosophy, the company’s engineers and designers unveiled their idea: combine the advantages of the traditional analog sticks and the fancy touchscreen controller. The GameSir G6s touchroller gamepad for iPhone (not a very intuitive name to be honest) comes in a decent package that includes the G6s gamepad, a micro-USB cable, and a manual. Simple and clear. Holding it in hand feels great and you an wait to start pressing the buttons while gaming, as the feel like a mechanical keyboard’s keys. Clicky with clear feedback and pressing distance.

Of course, no matter how fantastic an accessory may seem, it’s a no-go if it isn’t user friendly. Thankfully, it took just 30 seconds to connect it to my iPhone X via Game G-Crux. Apart from that, gamers can customize the button mapping via G-Crux, again, the entire process is just simple and friendly. But time had come for some serious PUBG gaming.

While playing, the left side hosts the analog controllers while my right hand controls the touchscreen and R1 trigger button. Of course, every new gamepad takes a little time to get used to but as good are the ergonomics of a gamepad the fastest you get used to it. And the G6s did a great job since it took just a few minutes for me to feel comfortable using it. Well-thought design GameSir.

Another interesting feature is that the G6s is equipped with dual vibration motors and you can decide which button vibrates relating which action you do in-gaming. With this function, when firing, you can feel a delicate vibration and you feel like holding the real thing in your hand.

Of course, the perfect product is yet to be released and the GameSir G6s has its flaws too. For starters, it comes in only one color (Black) and I hope that the company will add more options in the future. The other important flaw is that there is no information about Android compatibility for the time being. That’s bad news for Android users and I really hope that they take it into consideration. All in all, I would give it an 8.4 overall score:

• Innovation: 8.8/10
• Quality: 8.0/10
• Feedback: 8.5/10
• Portability: 8/10
• Control：8.5/10

The bottom line is that the G6s combines the advantages of an analog controller with the smoothness of touchscreen, and that could be very promising for the future of mobile gaming controllers. It certainly does serve the manufacturer’s vision of offering gamers the chance to enjoy the pure joy of gaming. The GameSir G6s Touchroller is currently in crowdfunding stage and you can back it on Indiegogo.

Ulefone’s Armor Series is one of the most recognizable in the rugged phones category and the latest addition to the lineup is the super-budget Ulefone Armor X3. Today, the Chinese manufacturer released the first hands-on video so we can check out how it performs. The MT6580 quad-core SoC is enough for casual use and you can even play some popular games without any problems.

Design-wise, the Armor X3 remains loyal to the classic style of the Armor 6, the one that sports convex design on four corners and a slanted design on the back cover that prevent accidental drops from damaging the phone. Also, thanks to the IP68/IP69K/MIL-STD-810G certifications, the device is so durable it can handle sudden drops, water washing, and other harsh conditions.

The X3 comes equipped with a 5.5″ all-screen display with 18:9 aspect ratio for more vertical space and wider vision. On the camera side, there is a dual rear camera with 8MP/2MP sensors and it is exciting that it supports underwater photography. The selfie shooter comes with a 5MP sensor and can also be used for Face unlock. The Armor X3 comes with Android 9 Pie and that adds to the snappiness of the device. In the video, you can see the user checking Twitter, chatting on Messenger, listening to music, watching YouTube, and playing Temple Run 2. As it t turned out, everything ran smoothly without stutters.

What’s more, the Armor X3 also supports two other creative functions: Gloves Pattern and Easy Key. The “gloves pattern” enables you to normally use the touch screen of the phone while wearing gloves while the Easy Key allows you to set specific functions or app launching to the quick access button.

Starting today, you can preorder the Ulefone Armor X3 on the Ulefone FlashDeal Store on Aliexpress with a special price tag of $79.99. That price includes a free tempered glass too! The deal will be ongoing until August 13th. For more information about other Ulefone devices, visit the official website.

Many mobile phone manufacturers and operators have adopted numerous methods to create their own products using 5G since the issuance of 5G licenses.

Digital advertising, the PPT of the conference, the banner of the mobile phone store downstairs are few platforms are some of the widely publicized propagandas that suggest we are on the verge of fully entering the 5G era.

While domestic operators are already `gearing up for 5G, it is worth noting that we are still considerably far from truly making our foray into the 5G ecosystem. Despite currently being into the 4G era, the primary tool for communication today i.e. the mobile phone has already taken steps in the 5G direction.

Earlier this month, Huawei took the wraps off its first commercial 5G smartphone in China. Dubbed as the Huawei Mate 20 X (5G), this recently unveiled phone supports the Barron 5000 baseband, unlike the Mate 20 X. For those unaware, the Barron 5000 baseband is compatible with 5G network of NSA and SA networking. This is usually referred to as “dual-mode 5G.”

Supporting 5G connectivity, it is interesting to learn what the Huawei Mate 20 X(5G) will bring to the table. It remains to be seen exactly how will supporting 5G connection affect the phone’s battery life, or change its heat. The other burning question on everyone’s mind at the moment is where is 5G network now, and will it live up to the hype by offering faster connectivity?

This gave us a perfect opportunity to carry out a product interpretation and evaluate 5G signal of the Huawei Mate 20 X (5G).

Barong 5000 first look

I was taken back in time as soon as I switch the Huawei Mate 20 X (5G) smartphone on, given that it is based on Mate 20 X upgrade. I had a chance to check out the Mate 20 X at the London conference in October last year, and since then I did not get an opportunity to hold such a large mobile phone. Much to my delight, I have finally reunited with it like two friends meeting after a long time.

Sporting a mammoth 7.2 inches display, the Mate 20 X is almost like a mini-computer. A mobile device with that kind of display would have been added to a tablet phone category about five years ago, but thanks to the emphasis on screen ratio, I don’t mind carrying this big-screen mobile phone in my trouser pocket.

The Huawei Mate 20 X (5G) retains the Mate 20 X design, featuring a 7.2-inch display with 2244 x 1080 pixels resolution, rear-mounted capacitive fingerprint recognition, and the four-eye three-camera associated with the Mate 20 Series.

Including the 5G module did not drastically increase the phone’s weight. On the book data, the new machine weighs in at 233 grams, which is not a big difference with the Mate 20 X.

Aside from being housed in a mammoth form factor, the Mate 20 X (5G) has to lot to offer. The aesthetics of the phone itself will convince you that it is Huawei’s Mate 20 X (5G) version.

For instance, the 5G logo is clearly displayed on the back of the phone. Moreover, the back of the fuselage uses the same texture as the Mate 20 Pro and uses a cool color.

It grabbed my attention, reminding me of Jaguar classic British green.

Aside from that, the Huawei Mate 20 X (5G) has undergone a radical overhaul in terms of configuration. Not only does the phone supports Baron 5000 baseband, uses the SoC Kirin 980, but it also ships with 8GB of RAM and offers a hearty 256GB of internal storage capacity.

Alternatively, we can expand the storage capacity of the phone via the NM card.

On top of that, the phone supports Huawei’s own SuperCharge 40W super fast charge. The addition of a larger 5G module may have forced Huawei to redesign the area of the new module by reducing the battery compartment space.

While the non 5G version is backed by a 5000mAh battery, the Mate 20 X (5G) draws its juices from a slightly smaller 4200mAh battery because of the data.

There are hardly any changes in the camera and system configuration departments for the Huawei Mate 20 X (5G) and Mate 20 X. They house a 40-megapixel wide-angle, 20-megapixel super-wide-angle and 8-megapixel telephoto.

The system runs EMUI 9.1 OS and supports Turbo 3.0.

City 5G cover ratio exceeds expectations

Note: Even before 5G enabled mobile phones are made available to the public, the layout of the 5G base station had begun.

According to the China Unicom’s plan, which was revealed in April this year, the telecom will continue to cover 5G networks along with 33 hotspots in 7 cities in China within 2019. China Unicom plans to customize 5G networks in N cities at the same time.

The seven cities include Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Nanjing, Hangzhou and Xiong’an. China Unicom is gearing up to open 5G commercial by next year.

While the Guangzhou based 5G base station is still in the works, you can get a strong 5G signal in the downtown area of Guangzhou with the Mate 20 X (5G).

We are in the WeChat headquarters park, Guangzhou Tower, Zhujiang New Town. Even the west of the city gets a full 5G coverage.

Thanks to this strong signal, I decided to write a manuscript at my residence. Aside from the 5G signal, there’s also a green axis keyboard that doesn’t matter how loud it is.

Moreover, other areas including subways and some indoor venues are also receiving 5G signals. In the Pearl River New City, the signal goes back to 4G as soon as you enter the mall. When you put even a foot outside the mall, you will start receiving 5G signal again.

Fortunately, I found a Starbucks with a 5G signal on the way to the test. I bought a cup of coffee inside.

Wait, I might be the first person in Guangzhou to buy coffee with 5G?

The measured peak value is 6 times that of 4G, and the speed can continue to increase.

Much to my surprise, the 5G speed in Guangzhou is quite impressive. This significant improvement in the speed has redefined my understanding of the mobile network speeds.

In the test of 5 random scenes of Speed Test, 5G can get test scores of multiple times of 4G network speed.

The 666 Mbps downlink and the 71.7 Mbps uplink rate tested under the Guangzhou Tower (node: Guangzhou Telecom, Ping value 14 ms) was the best performance.

If you convert this to a wired network, it compares to a broadband speed of 500 to 600M, which is still a whopping six times faster than the speed offered by the existing 4G network.

Before we began the road test, my colleague also grabs a cup of coffee. He noted, “Guangzhou’s 5G is still testing, and the speed will not exceed 500 Mbps.” By the time I complete this review, it looks like the speed will reduce.

It is worth noting that the 666 Mbps downlink does not represent the peak of 5G speed. The theoretical data suggests that the fastest 5G downlink speed is 1GBPS. Moreover, local media have achieved a staggering 1110 Mbps speed on their road tests.

In other words, the 666 Mbps is merely 70% of the 5G peak, and the speed is likely to go up.

As far as the fundamental impact on 5G signals and speed is concerned, it alludes to the coverage between base stations. Just for the sake of an instance, when I am in the Tent Creative Park in Kecun, the coverage of the Pearl River is 5G.

However, as soon as I cross the Pazhou Bridge, the 5G signal drops down to just a single grid. Interestingly, once I get off the bridge to the Pearl River New City, the 5G signal will be fully resumed.

It seems safe to say that there is a considerable coverage area between 5G base stations, and this is highly influenced by the gaps between the base stations.

Even with the 3G signal, the 5G downlink speed reaches 4M/s~6M/s, allowing you to download a 20 MB volume of music in only about 2 seconds.

I felt the software download part of this test was truly impressive. In fact, under the optimization of each vendor’s own software store, the 4G network download software has reached a considerable speed, and it can download a 50 MB program in just a few seconds.

This mediocre speed of 90 points has propelled to 150 points in this 5G era. What you see here may seem unbelievable and I was kind of worried about the downloading speed of 70MB/s I was getting. It took only a second to download a program of 100MB size.

Before I could press the “Pause” button, the app was already installed.

When it comes to the 1080P video that you can find in the mainstream of video websites, I can afford to ignore the waiting time of the signal when I am getting a full 5G signal.

I’d like to clarify that this is not a local video that I downloaded. You can easily achieve 0 waiting when downloading a local video with 5G connectivity.

You and I will care about heat dissipation and power consumption

Will 5G make the phone hot? Will 5G make the battery life worse?

Multiple reports about 5G surfaced online last year, leaving us all anxious about the prospects of 5G mobile phones. You cannot discount the fact that the design, heat and power consumption of the mobile phone will change after the 5G module is added to the phone of the 4G generation.

But much to our relief, heat, and power are two factors that the manufacturer can take care of. After downloading the 900MB update package with Huawei Mate 20 X (5G), the phone’s body temperature increased from 27 ° C to 35.5 ° C. I noticed that the lower part of the camera warmer; however, it was not as bad as I expected it to be.

As for power consumption, I 10:33 taken from the video to start using mobile phones (100%), to measure the speed in dual card + 5G WiFi throughout the state, software downloads, video playback, micro-letters, the last game update. At 7:42 pm, the phone shows 20% of the remaining battery.

At this point, the total battery life is 9 hours and 8 minutes, which is similar to the 4G mobile phone of the same capacity.

Ultra-high-speed 5G, the future has arrived

A first terminal supporting apparatus is confirmed 5G network, should be on the folding panel MWC 2019 appearance models Huawei Mate X, and its common point between the maximum 20 X 5G Mate, both sitting should be greater Dimensional body.

Rather than worrying about the performance of the 5G era will bring, it is worth noting that the increased size of the fuselage will provide more space internally. Compared to the current 4G generation, it utilizes little battery space. As a result, manufacturers can easily add a 5G baseband chip inside. Taking up time and development costs into consideration, Mate series only Mate 7.2-inch screen seems to be the most ideal 20 X 5G.

Despite the battery capacity reducing from 5000 mAh to 4200 mAh, Huawei Mate 20X 5G battery capacity still represents a large battery of endurance tests, as the result of the foregoing. With the addition of 5G network, mobile phones will be consuming more power, but the Huawei Mate 20 X 5G will still be able to retain the normal power level of “one day at a time.”

While there are quite a few 5G-enabled mobile phones slated to hit the store shelves shortly, the Huawei Mate 20 X 5G is the first handset to receive the network access license for 5G terminal telecom equipment in China. Moreover, it is the only 5G dual that simultaneously supports SA / NSA.

A Ministry of Industry and Information Technology spokesperson pointed out that from next year onwards, it will be necessary for 5G terminals to have the SA mode to enter the network. In other words, terminals that solely support NSA networking will be banned from network next year. There will be a full fully transition to the SA 5G network soon.

Therefore, in some people’s opinion, the Mate 20 X 5G is a truly 5G mobile phone.

With 5G commercial licenses being issued, and the successful foray of 5G terminals, operators and terminal manufacturers have come up with publicity campaigns for 5G. They suggest we are all set to embrace the 5G era with both hands. From our personal experience, we realized that 5G signals are not too hard to find either.

Nevertheless, the data rate will see a significant hike with the improvement of each generation. The changes in mobile internet that come as part and parcel of increased network speed are usually unclear during the initial stage of its popularization.

Just like 3G gave us apps, 4G introduced mobile payments, mobile online games, short videos, smart homes and more, we are quite excited to see what 5G networks bring to the table, although we are absolutely clueless about its potential at this moment.

For now, we know that we can expect a high rate of 5G networks, low latency, and the ability to do things faster than the 4G network.

The post Huawei 5G mobile phone review: The 5G network speed is 6 times faster than 4G, but there is more than it seems appeared first on Gizmochina.

Samsung is currently gearing up to launch its upcoming flagship smartphones at a launch event on 7th August — Samsung Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10 Plus. Ahead of the phone’s launch, we’ve seen a few renders of the device getting leaked.

Now, the leaks have gone a step ahead and a hand-on video using the dummy of Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10 Plus have surfaced online. It showcases the design of these upcoming devices and confirms the rumors of its design and features.

The first difference you’ll notice compared to the Galaxy Note 9 is the size of the device. The Samsung Galaxy Note 10 features a 6.3-inch display, which is the smallest screen size since the Galaxy Note 7. On the other hand, the Plus variant of the smartphone comes with a 6.8-inch display.

Another thing that’s noticeable at first glance is the lack of 3.5mm headphone jack. Yes, Samsung has finally ditched that headphone jack and now you’ll have to rely on Bluetooth earphones or the USB Type-C earphones.

The positioning of the camera module has also been changed in the upcoming next-generation Galaxy Note-series smartphones. On the backside, the camera module is now placed in the top-left corner with sensors stacked vertically. As for the front-facing camera, it is at the center of the display.

As per the reports, the triple camera setup of the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 will come with a primary sensor, a telephoto lens, and an ultra-wide lens. On the other hand, the Galaxy Note 10 Plus will come with four camera sensors on the back, where the fourth sensor will be a ToF lens that we saw on the Galaxy S10 5G model.

From the leaked video, it seems that most of the positions for the buttons will stay the same as its predecessor. The SIM card tray stays at the top while the S Pen slot is still at the bottom. As per the reports, there will be 5G models of both these devices — Note 10 and Note 10 Plus. Also, the 5G models are expected to be the same size as the 4G models.

Huawei launched an event for releasing Huawei P30 series in Shanghai yesterday. This latest series was released weeks ago in Paris, but the event still attracts lots of people to focus. Now we get the Huawei P30 Aurora variant and Huawei P30 Pro Breathing Crystal variant. Let’s check out the Huawei P30 series hands-on!

The packaging boxes of Huawei P30 series are white color with Huawei’s logo, the product name, Leica logo and other hot stamping words. It’s very simple.

Huawei P30 series come with dewdrop display with narrow bezels, so the screen-to-body ratio is quite good. Huawei P30 has a 6.1-inch OLED screen, and the Huawei P30 Pro comes with 6.47-inch OLED screen with a double 3D curved glass body.

Look at the fantastic rear panel.As we all know, P series is the high-end flagship of Huawei, which takes fashion, art and technology into account. And the Huawei P30 series follows the fashion and absorbing of P series.

Like Huawei P20, P30 series still keeps the gradient color design. The Huawei P30 and P30 Pro in my hand are adopt gradient color design, which will show a brilliant color change effect with the different angle of light. The Breathing Crystal is the new color tending to be pink-white, but it will turn to lavender with different angle of light. The official said that the idea comes from nature.

The sides of the P30 series come with premium stainless steel with polished surface that the unity of glass panel and sides is quite good.

On the top of the Huawei P30, there are an antenna partition and a noise-cancelling microphone. A speaker, an antenna partition, a USB Type-C port, a speaking microphone and a 3.5mm earphone jack are placed on the bottom side. The SIM card slot is at the left side and the volume key and the power key are at the right side. Following the Huawei P20, the red elongated groove in the power button is eye-catching.

Different from the P30, there are a volume key and a power button at the Huawei P30 Pro’s right side, but there is no physical button at the left side. Also, the SIM card slot is set on the bottom side. In addition, Huawei P30 Pro has an infrared emitter on the top side. Different external design means that they have different interior design.

In conclusion, Huawei P30 series has more mature design. After the accumulation of multi-generation products, fashion and elegance have become the labels of P series, and Huawei P30 series is the best performance of these labels.

An incredible gaming-centric smartphone was released last week, namely the Xiaomi Black Shark 2. Since mobile games have become popular, phone manufacturers are spending a lot of R&D on gaming-centric smartphones. Xiaomi Black Shark is one of the famous gaming smartphone manufacturers, and the Black Shark and Black Shark Helo have achieved a good amount of popularity. Now, we have got our hands on the new model, so let’s do a quick Xiaomi Black Shark 2 hands on.

Unlike other smartphones, Xiaomi Black Shark 2 doesn’t adopt a notch screen which pursues the higher screen-to-body ratio. Black Shark 2 keeps the bezels on top and bottom which I call them as traditional bezels. There are two narrow bezels on the two sides of its display. Although the Black Shark 2 doesn’t adopt the notch display, the design looks great, and I do love the display design. The handset is equipped with two speakers in the top and bottom bezels respectively.

On the back, Black Shark 2 is covered in glass with metal. The texture is nice even though the rear panel is not flat. If you have ever held the Black Shark Helo, then know that the texture is the same on the new Black Shark 2. There are two cameras on the left top corner, which host the 48MP+13MP setup, and a flashlight vertically set below the module. I need to add that, compared to Xiaomi Mi 9, the rear camera module of Black Shark 2 protrudes a bit too much.

The ‘S’ logo stands out quite well on its back. It’s cool and attractive. As the phone comes with an under-display fingerprint sensor, there’s no fingerprint sensor on the rear panel.

Black Shark 2 features two RGB light strips on the phone’s two sides gleaming when the phone is charging, receiving a message or winning a game, which is similar to the Halo light strip on Vivo iQOO. You can switch to the Game Mode by turning on the SHARK button which is set beside the power button on the phone’s right side, and the volume key is on the left side. The SIM card slot and the Type-C charging port is placed at the bottom. The Black Shark 2 lacks the 3.5mm earphone jack, but there is a Type-C-Audio adapter in the boxing which can solve this problem.

In general, the design of Black Shark 2 is cool that makes you think it’s a gaming console. If you like playing mobile games, the phone should be one of your top priorities.

The Black Shark 2 is powered by Snapdragon 855 processor and ships with 6.39-inch AMOLED screen having a resolution of 1080 x 2340 pixels, 19.5:9 ratio and 403PPI. It receives power from 4000mAh with 27W fast charging which has juice for you to enjoy your game. In the camera department, there are dual rear cameras – a 48MP main lens with f/1.75 aperture and a 12MP Tele-photo lens with f/2.2 aperture. The front-facing camera ships with a 20MP camera with f/2.2 aperture.

[envira-gallery id=”242769″]

The Black Shark 2 is priced around $549 for 6GB+128GB, $599 for 8GB+128GB, $649 for 8GB+256GB and $849 for 12GB+256GB.

Since 2018, a handful of independent brands have emerged. Big smartphone companies such as Xiaomi, OPPO, Huawei have all followed this trend. Another smartphone manufacturer, Vivo, joined the club recently with its subsidiary brand called iQOO. The Vivo iQOO features flagship performance and high cost to performance ratio. In terms of positioning and design, the handset is more of a gaming phone. It offers a number of different color variants, and we got the Electro-optic Blue variant for this hands-on. The phone looks unique and definitely has a feel of a gaming handset. No surprise that it’s the official gaming phone of KPL league 2019.

Let’s check out the hands-on of Vivo iQOO.

Vivo iQOO ups the game with a screen-to-body ratio of up to 91.7%, all thanks to its water drop notch design and narrow bezels. On the narrow top bezel, there is an earpiece, which stands apart from the overall black design. But looking at the phone in general, it can be ignored as it is quite narrow. Also note that, in the pursuit of slimming down bezels, the phone lacks a LED notification light.

On the back, the Vivo iQOO is covered in glass featuring a Halo light strip which gleams — when the phone is charging, receiving a message, calling up Jovi assistant and when you win a game (it’s really a cool feature). There are three cameras which host 12MP+13MP dual rear cameras with IMX 363 sensor and a 2MP depth camera, and a flashlight set below the module. As compared to the Xiaomi Mi 9 (our hands-on here!) the rear camera module of iQOO does not protrude much. On the left bottom corner, there’s the iQOO logo. As the phone ships with an under-display fingerprint sensor, there’s no fingerprint sensor on the rear panel.

Apart from the unique Halo light strip at the back, the Vivo iQOO also comes with two monster touch buttons on the right side, which comes in really handy during gameplay. What’s more, you can call up the smart assistant Jovi by pressing the AI key set beside the SIM card slot that on the phone’s left side. I do like the fact that iQOO keeps the 3.5mm earphone jack, which is placed on the top. Like most smartphones, the handset’s speaker and the Type-C charging port is placed at the bottom.

Overall, I like the design of the Vivo iQOO. It has some unique elements to set it apart from the crowd, and it’s not just by the way of a new color. The virtual buttons on the side, the Halo LED strip at the back, are unusual features for a smartphone in this segment.

It is powered by Snapdragon 855 processor and comes with 6.4-inch AMOLED screen having the resolution of 1080 x 2340 pixels, 19.5:9 ratio and 402ppi. Besides this, Vivo iQOO is fueled by 4000mAh battery with 44W fast charging which is more than enough for daily use. The handset is equipped with NFC, under-display fingerprint reader, and facial unlock. There are triple rear cameras — a 12MP main lens with f/1.79 aperture, a 13MP wide-angle lens, and a 2MP depth camera.

The Vivo iQOO is priced around $549 for 6GB+128GB, $599 for 8GB+128GB, $649 for 8GB+256GB and $849 for 12GB+256GB. I think the price of the phone matches the idea of high cost to performance ratio that’s been marketed by iQOO.

What are your thoughts?

Ulefone has been in the market for the past couple of years and in this time, we have seen some value for money devices from the company. Recently, Ulefone teased its latest flagship in the market, namely the Ulefone Future, which claimed to come with a bezel-less design. Given that a small time Chinese company is making such a big claim, we all were a bit skeptical whether the final product would be anywhere close to bezel-less. Now, after visiting their booth at MWC 2016, it looks like, yes, the Ulefone Future is indeed bezel-less.

The company seems to have kept the design quite simple on the Ulefone Future. The phone is indeed bezel-less with zero visible borders. This makes the display stand out pretty well and therefore, the front looks good. All the buttons are located on the right side of the phone. So, you have the volume keys as well as the power button on that side. You even get a side mounted fingerprint sensor on the same side, which is placed perfectly for your thumb. On the left side, you have the SIM card slots.

Coming to the back, it’s pretty plain. This is the company’s first unibody metal smartphone, and it has decided to keep things simple. You don’t even find a Ulefone branding at the back, but that’s because this is not the final commercial unit. The 16MP camera and the dual LED dual tone flash lies on the top left corner at the back. Finally, coming to the bottom, you can see dual speaker slots, but we are still not sure whether thy are just there for a symmetric design or if there are indeed two speakers on board. In between, you will find the USB Type-C port.

The company is marketing the Ulefone Future as a powerful flagship. It features the Helio P10 MT6755 chipset inside with 4GB RAM and 32GB of storage. The phone will be running on Android 6.0 Marshmallow OS right out fo the box.
