Amazon Fire TV Cube

Amazon Fire Stick became a best-selling product all around the world. That is why you should have expected Amazon to launch a more powerful TV Box to make TVs smarter and more versatile. During IFA 2019, Amazon unveiled the second generation of the Fire TV Cube alongside the Fire TV Soundbar. The Cube measures 86.1 x 86.1 x 76.9 mm and integrates an hexa-core processor with a clock frequency of 2.2 GHz paired with 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of internal storage. A way better hardware than Fire Stick for more demanding activities. It supports 4K UHD reproduction at 60 fps with HDR, HDR10+ technologies and Dolby Vision, as well as Dolby Atmos audio. It even comes with Alexa, so it can be controlled with vocal commands besides the classic remote control. It is actually in pre-order in several countries and it will start selling in Germany on October 10, carrying a price tag of €119.99.

TCL 8K QLED TV

TCL became a leader in the TV industry and it is obvious that it is trying to launch every year more innovative tech products. IFA 2019 spectators saw the debut of new amazing 8K QLED TVs with Mini LED technology. It replaces traditional LEDs and illuminates LCD panels in a brand new way, through tiny LED integrated inside the chips. They sit in the middle between LEDs and MicroLEDs and they can reach a peak brightness with HDR of 1.200 nits. TCL TVs are grouped into two series: X and X10. The former integrates a camera for augmented reality and they also come bundled with a soundbar. The X10 series reaches a 1.500 nits peak brightness and it has 120 Hz Ultra HD displays illuminated by 15.360 LEDs divided into 768 control zones. The new TCL TVs support HDR10, HLG, HDR10+, Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision standards.

Acer ConceptD Pro

The ConceptD Pro series unveiled by Acer at IFA 2019 is not composed of classic notebooks. It consists of four models: ConceptD 9 Pro, 7 Pro,  5 Pro, and 3 Pro, which are advanced workstations for professionals and graphics. They feature wide 17.3-inch 4K displays mounted on particular hinges which allow the user to regulate the angle and rotate the display to work, draw and write in the best way possible.

Lenovo Smart Tab and Smart Display

Lenovo is focusing a lot on smart home appliances, especially on hubs. The Chinese giant unveiled two new tablets and a new Smart Display at IFA 2019. The tablets are Yoga Smart Tab and Smart Tab M8 but they are not classic tablets: thanks to a docking station and a kickstand, as well as the support to Google Assistant, they can turn into smart displays and hubs for your smart home appliances. There is not much to say about the new Lenovo Smart Display as there are already several devices of this kind in the market.

Garmin Venu GPS

Garmin announced a lot of smartwatches at IFA 2019, but the Venu GPS is the most interesting one. It sports GPS connectivity, it supports music playback and it has a battery which lasts up to five days on a single charge (six hours if you use both GPS and music reproduction). It is compatible with both Android and iOS devices and it supports Garmin Pay. Thanks to the Body Battery mode it detects the energy of the user in order to suggest when to start training an when to stop. The Garmin Venu GPS is able to track up to 40 activities and its price starts from €349.99.

Razer Blade laptops

At IFA 2019, Razer refreshed its line-up of Blade gaming laptops by launching a new Blade Stealth 13 and Blade 15 Base. They are the first Razer laptops to be compliant to the new Intel’s Project Athena, with high performances and low power consumption. They are equipped with Intel Core 10th gen CPUs and the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 GPU. You can choose between Full HD and Ultra HD panels with 100% sRGB coverage. The new laptops are also equipped with SSD storage and up to 16 GB of dual channel RAM.

Sonos Move

Usually, smart speakers are not powered by batteries, but they can only be used thanks to an AC cable. Until now. During its IFA 2019 conference, Sonos launched its first portable smart speaker: its name is Sonos Move and, thanks to it, people will be able to bring their personal virtual assistant everywhere. It is powered by a battery which guarantees up to 10 hours of music playback on a single charge, but it can also be connected to your wall socket just like other smart speakers if you need. Sonos Move is waterproof and dust-resistant so that you can really bring it in every place. Thanks to the Trueplay technology the equalization is able to adapt to the environment. Sonos Move supports both Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa, but it won’t be cheap: it will launch on September 24 with a €399 price tag.

Asus ProArt StudioBook

Just like Acer, even Asus unveiled a new line-up of notebook for professional artists and graphics at IFA 2019. It is the ProArt StudioBook series and it comes with complete support to DCI-P3 coverage, one of the most advanced image qualities and a secondary display called ScreenPad 2.0 included in the touchpad. The line-up consists of 5 different models with Intel Xeon CPUs and Nvidia Quadro RTX 5000 GPU, as well as ECC storage up to 128 GB.

Kirin 990

Kirin 990 can not be considered a “tech product” as it is just a chipset, but we mention it because it is the world’s first SoC with an integrated 5G modem to hit the market, as well as one of the most powerful mobile platforms out there. It will debut in a few weeks on the Huawei Mate 30 series which will be unveiled on September 19. If you want to know everything about the new Huawei’s flagship chipset, head to our dedicated article.

After six hectic days, IFA 2019 is coming to an end. A lot of companies announced their most innovative tech products and several smartphones manufacturers took the wraps off their new flagships and affordable devices. There were so many new smartphones at the event that it became hard to remember each of them, even when it comes to the most important ones. That is why we decided to pick up all the most interesting smartphones and feature phones launched at IFA 2019 and collect them in one article. Here you will find the top phones announced at the event which catalyzed a lot of hype during the introduction.

Top smartphones launched at IFA 2019

(Note: The phones below have been ordered randomly)

Samsung Galaxy A90 5G

A lot of people would never expect Samsung to announce a brand new 5G flagship smartphone at IFA 2019, but the Korean giant did it, a few days after the launch of the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 series in the global market. Unlike all the other handsets from the A-series, the Galaxy A90 5G is the only flagship not belonging to the S or Note line-ups. It is equipped with a Snapdragon 855 chipset and it comes with a wide 6.7-inch display boasting the AMOLED technology and a Full HD+ resolution. It also sports a triple rear camera and a 4500 mAh battery.

Nokia 6.2 and 7.2

Both Nokia 6.2 and 7.2 are new mid-rangers by HMD Global. Among their highlights, there are HDR displays and a rear triple camera equipped with Carl Zeiss on the Nokia 7.2. They both come with 600-series Qualcomm’s chipset: Snapdragon 636 and Snapdragon 660, respectively. And they both have 3500 mAh batteries, as well as Android One out of the box based on Android 9 Pie. They are going to hit the market with price tags of €200 and €300, respectively.

Nokia 2720 and 800 Tough

Nokia 2720 and 800 Tough are not smartphones: HMD Global decided once again to launch old-school feature phones. The first is a retro flip phone, while the second is a rugged phone with an IP68 rating and a MIL-STD-810G certification. Given that they are feature phones, battery life is undoubtedly their strong point. But despite not being smartphones, they still maintain some smart features thanks to the operating system KaiOS. Besides coming with a camera, they also have 4G connectivity and they support a few important apps such as WhatsApp, Facebook and Google Maps.

Samsung Galaxy Fold

After delaying its launch several times, during the IFA 2019, Samsung finally announced the launch of the Galaxy Fold in the global market. The company made some tweaks in order to make its first foldable phones more resistant and avoid every kind of display issues. So now the handset finally went into commerce with a sturdier body. It is currently available in South Korea, but in a few days, it will hit select international markets with a price tag around €2000. Unfortunately, not every country will get it.

Sony Xperia 5

During its keynote at IFA 2019, Sony officially unveiled the Xperia 5: a compact iteration of its last flagship Xperia 1. We can define Sony Xperia 5 as the only really compact flagship released in the second half of 2019 globally, given that it is powered by the Snapdragon 855 chipset. Sony already started accepting pre-orders in a few European countries with a price tag ranging from €800 to €850 depending on the market.

Nubia Red Magic 3S

After Qualcomm released the Snapdragon 855+ chipset that is an upgraded version of the Snapdragon 855 with a higher clock frequency and higher graphics performances, even Nubia decided to release an upgraded variant of its latest gaming phone Red Magic 3. Its name is Red Magic 3S and it is obviously powered by the Snapdragon 855+. After an initial phase of reservations, the phone went on sale two days ago in China with a starting price of CNY 2,999 which roughly translates into $419 at the actual change, for the configuration with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage.

Asus ROG Phone II

The ROG Phone II was already official, but Asus took advantage of the IFA 2019 to launch it in the global market. The handset also came in a new configuration called Ultimate Edition equipped with 1 TB of internal UFS 3.0 storage. Before this launch, the ROG Phone 2 came with a max 512 GB of internal storage. The rest of the specifications remains the same as the previous version launched in the Asian market. The price tag for the global market starts from €899.

Huawei P30 Pro new colors

Alongside the new Kirin 990 which will power the Mate 30 series, Huawei unveiled two new color variants of its P30 Pro. The phone comes with exactly the same hardware specifications, but in the new Misty Lavender and Mistyc Blue color variants, it embraces the “panda” color scheme with two different textures on the back cover. Further, these color variants of the Huawei P30 Pro will hit the market with EMUI 10 out of the box based on Android 10, unlike the other color variants.

LG G8X ThinQ

After the announcement of three flagships at MWC 2019, not everyone expected LG to launch another flagship phone. But the Korean company came up at IFA 2019 with the LG G8X, which will also be known as the V50S ThinQ in its homeland. It comes with a revamped dual-screen accessory adding another display which is the same as the main phone’s display, as well as a monochromatic mini display on the external part, showing time, date and notifications.

Motorola One Zoom and E6 Plus

Despite launching a couple of phones in Asia, Lenovo unveiled a camera-focused device called Motorola One Zoom, which is equipped with a quad-camera setup on its rear side. It is a mid-ranger, but it provides outstanding camera capabilities thanks to OIS, quad pixel technology for amazing low light performance, and a telephoto sensor with 3x optical zoom and OIS. The company also unveiled the Moto E6 Plus entry-level device with the Helio P22 chipset which will hit the European market with a €139 price tag.

TCL Plex

Alongside a few Alcatel devices, TCL unveiled its first self-produced smartphone. Its name is TCL Plex and it is a value for money smartphone powered by the Snapdragon 675 paired with 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage which you can furtherly expand with a micro SD. TCL Plex has a 6.53-inch punch-hole display with a Full HD+ resolution and a triple camera with a double LED flash and advanced software which improves colors in real-time. The battery has a 3800 mAh capacity and the phone integrates the T-Cast app allowing to remotely control TCL TVs. It will launch in Europe in Q4 and it will carry a €329 price.

Nokia 7.2 and 6.2 were officially unveiled at IFA 2019 among a bunch of other products such as the Nokia 2720 Flip and Nokia Power earbuds. However, these two phones turned out to be the real showstoppers of the Nokia event in Berlin, thanks to its revamped design and competitive specs. Now it looks like HMD Global is all set to release the duo in India as well. Both the models were recently listed on the official Nokia India website.

The Nokia 7.2 and the 6.2 share a similar design language with a waterdrop notch on their 6.3-inch IPS LCD displays and a circular camera housing at the back. But the real highlight is the color options available like Cyan Green and Ice which makes their design stand out even more. Unfortunately, the Nokia India website doesn’t reveal a date for its release. But the company is said to have sent invites for a September 11 event in India, likely for their launch.

Unlike the global variants, the Nokia duo won’t have NFC support. This was recently confirmed by a company executive. While the lack of NFC is a bit disappointing, it’s not going to be a deal-breaker for most Indian customers. NFC payment is not really a popular feature in India and even the Nokia 4.2 which was announced in May in India lacked this one particular feature.

Honor also announced that Magic UI 3 will be available next month for beta testers.

PocketVision

Honor has partnered with a company called Eyecoming to develop an app for those who are visually impaired. The app which is called PocketVision works exclusively with the Honor 20 Pro. It uses AI and the phone’s quad rear cameras to work and does so in three modes.

There is a Text-to-Speech mode which uses Honor HiAI and optical character recognition technology popularly called OCR to convert pictures to text faster and more accurately which is then read out loud.

There is also a Zoom-in mode which uses a combination of the phone’s 48MP primary rear camera and 8MP telephoto lens. Users will be able to zoom in closer to texts using the volume buttons. The text is then made larger, sharper, and more legible.

Negative Image mode helps those who can’t see certain colors. It uses color filters and improved contrast to make printed text clearer and more legible for people who suffer from color vision deficiency.

Honor Band 5

The Honor Band 5 already launched in China and India. Honor says shipment has grown by 387% YoY compared to the Honor Band 4. Now it will be available in France, Italy, Spain, the UK (via O2, Argos, and Asda), and other markets for €29.99.

Just a little over a week after announcing the Amazfit GTS and Amazfit Sports Watch 3 in its home country of China, Huami as unveiled both watches in Germany at the ongoing IFA 2019 trade show. This might as well be the fastest international launch for any Amazfit product.

Amazfit GTS

The Amazfit GTS is priced at €130 and packs a number of interesting features. It has a 1.65-inch rectangular Super Retina-grade AMOLED display with 2.5D Gorilla Glass 3 protection. You get up to a 100 different watch faces too. The watch has GNSS (GPS+GLONASS) and boasts a battery life of 2 weeks (25 hours with GPS turned on). It also has a heart-rate sensor with continuous tracking and can track up to 12 different sporting activities. It is waterproof up to 50 meters.

The GTS uses 20mm quick release silicone straps and comes in six different colors. It works with Android and iOS devices. Huami hasn’t announced the UK and US pricing yet.

Amazfit Stratos 3

When the Amazfit Sports Watch 3 launched, we told you it would launch globally as the Stratos 3, and we were right.

The Stratos 3 is designed for professionals and enthusiasts. It has a circular dial – a 1.34” JDI Full-Moon reflective low-power display covered with Gorilla Glass 3. There are two operating systems on the watch as well as two chips – one for each OS. It also has four buttons on the right side of the frame.

The Amazfit Stratos 3 has 4GB of storage and 512MB of RAM. There is a built-in music player, so you can load it up with podcasts to listen to while you work out. It can track up to 19 different activities, has a continuous heart rate tracker and V02 max measurement.

In Ultra Endurance Mode, the Stratos 3’s 300mAh battery will last up to 2 weeks on a single charge while sports mode will see the battery life drop to half. It also has GNSS (GPS, Beidou, GLONASS, and Galileo) and NFC and has a 5ATM water-resistant rating. Of course, you also get notifications from apps and calls when paired to your phone.

There is a premium version called the Stratos 3+ (Sports Watch 3 Elite Edition) with Sapphire Glass instead of Gorilla Glass, a titanium bezel instead of stainless steel, and quick release fluoro-rubber straps instead of silicone straps.

Pricing and availability have not yet been revealed for both the Stratos 3 and Stratos 3+.

It looks like things are going to get even more interesting for 5G in the mobile market. The first half of the year was filled with new 5G flagship smartphone announcements but now, companies are going to focus on two major areas in 5G.

First, releasing an integrated 5G solution for mobile devices and second, getting 5G inside cheaper smartphones. Qualcomm will march ahead in full speed to make this possible as the chipmaker announced today at IFA 2019 that its future mid-range Snapdragon 600 and 700 series chipsets will feature integrated 5G modems.

This is a big deal for not just Qualcomm but for the entire mobile industry. Qualcomm chipsets power a majority of smartphones in the world today and if an affordable 5G chip is made available to manufacturers, we could see a tremendous boost in the adoption of this new technology. In fact, Qualcomm has revealed that it is already in talks with at least 12 different smartphone vendors like OPPO, Realme, Vivo, Redmi, Motorola, LG, and HMD Global (Nokia). It’s likely that the two upcoming HMD Global 5G phones will have this 700 series chipset inside.

These chips are already being samples and the first 5G integrated Snapdragon 700 series smartphones should roll out by the end of this year. As for smartphones with Snapdragon 600 series featuring 5G support, we’ll have to wait till the second half of 2020.

This announcement comes just hours after Huawei’s first integrated 5G chip, the Kirin 990 5G, was revealed. It is also worth adding that Samsung is already eyeing the mid-range 5G market with its new Exynos 980 chipset that features an integrated 5G modem. And guess what, Vivo is confirmed to use it.

With different types of 5G solutions coming our way in the coming months, it looks like the true 5G revolution has just begun.

Huawei announced a new version of its wireless earbuds today at IFA 2019. The Freebuds 3 not only has a new design but also comes with a brand new chipset called the Kirin A1.

Kirin A1

Huawei is following in the steps of Apple whose first-gen and second-gen AirPods use the W1 and H1 proprietary chips respectively.

The HUAWEI Kirin A1 chip is here! It comes armed with:

— Huawei Mobile (@HuaweiMobile) September 6, 2019

The Kirin A1 is an ultra-low-power processor that brings advanced Bluetooth and powerful audio. It is the world’s first Bluetooth 5.1 and Bluetooth 5.1 LE wearable chipset.

Freebuds 3

The Freebuds 3 true wireless stereo headset features a new design Huawei calls Dolphin Bionic inspired by a dolphin’s vocal cavity. The case is also different, circular like a perfectly round pebble with a glossy finish.

With the new Kirin A1 chip, Huawei promises low latency and low power consumption as the earbuds use what is called an isochronous dual channel Bluetooth connection. Each earbud is paired to the phone on a separate channel rather than one earbud being the master while the other is the slave in some earbuds.

Huawei is obsessed with titles and it claims the Freebuds 3 is the world’s first earbuds with open-fit active noise cancellation with up to 15-decibel ambient noise reduction. The bone sensor makes a comeback and will work with the Mic Duct for noise cancellation and a crystal clear conversation when making calls.

It also has a latency of 190ms which makes it perfect for gaming, and the noise cancellation is adjustable using the companion app.

Alongside the slew of new phones from Nokia, HMD Global also had a few other surprise announcements up their sleeves for IFA 2019. Say hello to the Nokia Power Earbuds, a pair of true wireless earbuds from the company that promise amazing battery life, water resistance and lightweight designs.

Each earbud packs 6mm graphene drivers. They’re Bluetooth 5.0 compatible and offer easy access to your phone’s voice assistant. On top of this, they’ve also got touch controls for your controlling music or volume. They’re even IPX7 rated and can survive in 1 m of water for up to 30 minutes, which is fairly important for a tiny pair of earbuds like these.

Each earbud packs 50 mAh battery and offers up to 5 hours of usage. The charging case comes with 3000mAh battery that Nokia claims can charge the buds 30 times in total, and each charge giving you around five hours of playback time. So all in all you get 150 hours of life from a single charge. It’s also really nice that the case uses USB-C for charging.

The Nokia Power Earbuds come in two colour options, those being Charcoal Black and Light Grey. They’re priced at €79 ($88) and will go on sale from October. We haven’t gotten an official sale date, or even a list of countries where the earbuds will go on sale, though we’re pretty sure it’ll come to most countries that offer Nokia devices.

Alongside the Nokia 6.2, HMD Global also announced the Nokia 7.2 at IFA 2019. Both phones share not only a similar design but also similar key features.

HMD Global says the Nokia 7.2 is made with a high-tech polymer composite that is 2x stronger than polycarbonate but half the weight of aluminum. However, the core is made of metal. The display is covered with 2.5D Gorilla Glass and there is also Gorilla Glass on the rear, but HMD Global doesn’t specify which type. The design is finished with a multi-layer coating that gives the phone a metallic look.

The Nokia 7.2 also has a 6.3-inch FHD+ PureDisplay with the same PixelWorks processor for real-time HDR conversion. It also has a notch at the top which houses a 20MP camera with Carl Zeiss lens.

The phone is powered by the Snapdragon 660 processor, an upgrade over the Snapdragon 636 of its predecessor. It comes in 4GB RAM and 6GB RAM variants with 64GB and 128GB of expandable storage respectively. The maximum capacity MicroSD card supported is 512GB.

The Nokia 7.2 also has triple rear cameras like the Nokia 6.2 but Zeiss optics. The primary sensor is a 48MP camera with Quad-Pixel technology and is paired with a 5MP depth sensor and an 8MP 118° ultrawide angle camera. The phone comes with bokeh effects such as ZEISS Modern, ZEISS Swirl, and ZEISS Smooth for adjusting several features when you take a portrait photo. There is also a Night Mode which uses a combination of advanced image fusion and multiple exposures for brighter images with rich details. The Nokia 7.2 an also record in 4K with spatial audio recording. The Dual Sight feature has also been enhanced.

The Nokia 7.2 has a dedicated Google Assistant button but it (and the Nokia 6.2) come with a new feature called Google Assistant Ambient Mode which allows you to check the weather, your to-do list, control your smart home devices, etc. without touching your phone.

The device has a 3500mAh battery and with AI features like Adaptive Battery, HMD Global promises 2-day battery life. Sadly, it also supports only 10W charging via a USB Type-C port. There is Bluetooth 5.0, NFC (select markets), a 3.5mm audio jack, dual-SIM (nano), an FM radio, and aptX audio. The Nokia 7.2, just like the Nokia 6.2 is an Android One phone.

As the biggest electronics show -IFA 2019- is going to open its gates to the public tomorrow, big brands are holding events to announce their upcoming events that visitors will have the chance to see during the show. Asus made a big impression with its ProArt Series that, besides the desktop and monitor, includes 3 laptops.

Asus ProArt Station D940MX

Taking advantage of the evolution in hardware power that comes in a smaller package, Asus ProArt Station D940MX is a workstation-grade desktop that sports a just 8-liter chassis which makes it one of the smallest out there. Asus chose to go with Intel’s latest CPUs so it is powered by Intel’s 9th Gen CPUs and can be equipped with up to 64GB of DDR4 RAM. As for the GPU, two options are available: Either the Nvidia Quadro RTX 4000 or RTX 2080 Ti. Of course, a pro-workstation must come with a fast storage option so the D940MX comes with a 512GB PCIe SSD and an 1TB hard drive.

Connectivity is taken care of the dual Thunderbolt 3 ports on the front panel of the stylish chassis that features an LED indicator at the bottom of the chassis. As far as cooling is concerned, the system uses a 2D vapor chamber and heat pipes for controlling the temperatures while the 4 fans help dissipate heat quickly. Also, noise shouldn’t be a problem since Asus claims it generates up to 37dB of noise at full load. Lastly, it comes with MIL-STD 810G certification.

Asus ProArt Display PA32UCG

At this year’s WWDC Apple announced its new ProDisplay addressed at professionals and the new ProArt Display from Asus is the attempt to compete in this market segment. The new PA32UCG monitor claims to be the world’s 1st HDR 1600 display with a 120Hz refresh rate. The resolution offered is 4K and the mini LED backlight is supposedly capable of offering 1000nits of sustained brightness and 1600nits of peak brightness as well as a contrast ratio of 1.000.000:1.

In addition, it supports HDR 10, HLG, and Dolby Vision with the panel using Quantum Dot technology and offers DCI-P3, Adobe RGB, sRGB, Rec. 709 and Rec. 2020 color spaces and 10-bit color depth. There is no need for calibration as it comes pre-calibrated from the factory and, according to Asus, it has a Delta-E rating of less than 1.0. Refresh rate, on the other hand, can vary from 48Hz to 120Hz which usually benefits game development workflows. Finally, it comes with plenty of connectivity options as there are 2x Thunderbolt 3 ports, 1x DisplayPort, 3x HDMI ports, and a built-in USB hub.

The Nokia 6.2 also gets a significant upgrade in the camera department. It now comes with triple rear cameras that are housed in a circular housing with a bump. The primary camera is a 16MP sensor and it is paired with a 5MP depth sensor and an 8MP ultrawide angle camera. An LED flash is housed together with the sensors while a fingerprint scanner sits underneath. There is an 8MP camera in front for selfies.

The Nokia 6.2 runs Android 9 Pie out of the box with 2 years of Android updates and 3 years of security updates guaranteed. It also has a dedicated Google Assistant button. The phone will come with 3-months of Google One 100GB storage worth €1.99 per month.

Xperia excellence, in the palm of your hand. Join us September 5th for #SonyIFA #Innovation

A post shared by Sony Mobile (@sonyxperia) on Sep 2, 2019 at 4:34am PDT

Some say the phone being teased is the Xperia 2 which will come with a 6.1-inch screen that is smaller than the Xperia 1’s 6.5-inch display. While the screen size is smaller, it doesn’t really fit into the palm of your hand like the Xperia XZ2 Compact which has a 5” screen and even thick bezels.

The Xperia 2 will come with triple rear cameras, a display with a 21:9 aspect ratio, and a side-mounted fingerprint scanner. It will also have NFC and a dedicated camera button.

Earlier this year, Huawei launched its P-series flagship smartphones — Huawei P30 and P30 Pro, which comes in Black, Aurora and Breathing Crystal colors. Now, as per the reports, the company is set to unveil new color options at the upcoming IFA 2019 in Berlin.

Huawei has already submitted applications for two new color options with the European Patent Office for the Huawei P30. While one color option features a gradient, the other one has a dual-tone paint job, similar to the “panda” version of the Google Pixel 2 XL.

While the gradient color option seems similar to the P30’s Breathing Crystal, it too has dual-tone colors if you look closely as the top third of the back is a separate panel and the color effect is much more subtle.

The applications for these new color options were filed in May this year but were published just a few days ago. This could mean that the company is gearing up to launch new color options for the P30 series phones at IFA 2019 in Berlin. Huawei had launched four new color options for the P20-series at last year’s IFA.

After IFA 2019 next month, the company is expected to launch its next-generation Mate-series flagship smartphones — Huawei Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro, along with the Mate 30 Lite. The launch event for the Mate 30 series could take place in October this year.

A few months ago, at the launch event of Huawei P30 series smartphones, the company had also announced a partnership between Huawei and Gentle Monster, a Korea-based fashion brand.

Both the companies have been working on developing the first smart glasses for Huawei. The said AR/VR smart glasses are expected to be stylish and will look like normal sunglasses at first glance.

Now, new trademark applications filed by the company hints that the device has gone through the development process and is all set to get unveiled at IFA 2019.

A couple of days ago, on 14th August, Huawei Technologies filed two trademarks application to the EUIPO (European Union Intellectual Property Office) and at the UK IPO (Intellectual Property Office) for the names Huawei VR Glass and Huawei AR Glass.

Both the applications have been categorized as Class 9 with description mentioning smartglasses, smartwatches, smartphones, 3D spectacles, and eyeglasses. The applications for the same were submitted by Forresters from Munich, Germany.

This is the same company that filed applications earlier this month for the names Huawei SuperSensing Camera and Cine Lens, both are probably meant for the Huawei Mate 30 series phones, which are expected to get launched around October.

Earlier this year, the company had shared details of its developing AR glasses, which would be the first to come with a built-in Voice Assistant. Thanks to a built-in microphone and speakers, it is also possible to to make telephone calls via the smart glasses. The glasses are IP67 certified, making it water and dust resistant.

In addition, it’s also possible to charge them through Wireless charging as well as through the included leather case with USB Type-C connection. The Huawei smart glasses will come powered by a big 2,200mAh battery.

While the company didn’t reveal the launch date of its smart glasses, there were reports about them getting launched in July 2019. Since they are not official yet, it’s possible that the company could launch them at the upcoming IFA 2019, which kcks-off on 6th September in Berlin, Germany.

LG has trademarked two new monikers for the smartphones — LG V60S and LG K50S. The development comes ahead of IFA 2019 so there’s a possibility that we could hear more about these two phones at the trade show.

As per the report, LG Electronics had filed a trademark for the name “LG V60S” in South Korea. The filing was submitted to the Korean Intellectual Property Office (KIPO) on 2nd August which has been listed online.

With LG V60 and LG K50 getting an “S” edition smartphones, it’s hard to say if the new devices will be an upgrade or downgrade over the original model. The LG G8S, which was launched soon after the launch of LG G8, was a slight downgrade. However, the LG V30S was a clear upgrade over the V30.

At the upcoming IFA 2019, South Korea-based LG is expected to announce LG V60 flagship smartphone, which the company has been teasing with its dual-screen feature. It should be a clear upgrade over the V50, though we don’t have specifics yet. We are expecting the LG V60S to be placed somewhere between LG V50 and V60.

Since the LG K50 is an entry-level smartphone, we are expecting the LG K50S to be an upgrade over the original model. We also expect the company to announce the LG G8X along with these two smartphones at IFA 2019. However, the report adds that while the LG V60S will be revealed at IFA 2019, the phone will be officially launched in 2020.

IFA (Berlin ranks) alongside CES (Las Vegas) and MWC (Barcelona) as one of the major tech shows of the year. Just like other tech shows, it is a convergence of manufacturers, investors, tech journalists, and consumers.

Some manufacturers also usually announce new products at the event. HMD Global has confirmed it will be attending and we expect it will announce a couple of new Nokia phones.

The announcement was made on Twitter by Juho Sarvikas, the Chief Product Officer of HMD Global. This will be the first time the manufacturer will be attending the trade show.

The attached image says there will be an event on September 5 at 4:00 PM. IFA actually begins on September 6 and will run through till September 11.

There are a bunch of phones we expect HMD Global will unveil. There is the Nokia 8.2 which is rumored to have a 32MP pop-up selfie camera and run Android Q out of the box. There is also the Nokia 6.2 and Nokia 7.2 smartphones.

The Nokia 7.2 is said to have a display with a waterdrop notch. It is also shown to have triple rear cameras arranged in a circular housing similar to that used by the Moto Z series. There will be a fingerprint scanner below the rear cameras and reports say a Snapdragon 660 processor and a 3500mAh battery will be under the hood.

A leak from last month revealed the Nokia 6.2 will also have an FHD+ display, triple rear cameras, a Snapdragon 660 processor and a 3300mAh battery.

Both the Nokia 6.2 and Nokia 7.2 are expected to launch in China this month, so the IFA announcement should be the global unveiling.

All Nokia phones announced at IFA should be part of the Android One program and run stock Android out of the box.

We also expect HMD Global to announce one or two feature phones too.

LG Electronics has just sent out an invite for the launch event of their upcoming flagship smartphone at the IFA trade show in Berlin 2019. The invitation is in the form of a 20-second clip that is posted on YouTube. It reveals a dual display LG phone that could be the LG V60 ThinQ phone may go official on Sept. 6.

The teaser video shows a game playing on a smartphone screen where the primary character, shaped as a smiling head, is chasing items shaped as a gamepad and a camera. The game resembles Pac-Man to some extent, if you remember the legend.

The game then moves on to a second screen to the left, where the character jumps to a map that is laid out. The character then reaches a point on the map, which is IFA 2019 in Berlin. Both screens then proceed to fold together with the message “Save the Date” popping out. The next message reads “10:00, Friday, September 6, 2019”. The IFA Tradeshow will take place in Berlin between September 6 and 11, 2019.

The clip teases a dual-screen smartphone, which many believe is the V60 ThinQ, if LG decides to stick with their usual moniker. Users will be able to use the dual-screen functionality to play games on their device, as showcased. While the larger display is primarily meant for gaming, the smaller screen is to be used for more utilitarian purposes.

LG had said earlier that the dual-screen display will be unveiled along with a new smartphone at a media conference taking place at the Pullman Hotel Berlin Schweizerhof. The upcoming device likely supports 5G connectivity like the LG V50 ThinQ that was unveiled at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2019 earlier in February this year. The V50 ThinQ went on sale in the US market in June 2019.

The second screen on the V50 ThinQ can be used as a Bluetooth gamepad, for video playback and running other apps. It also acts as a flexible camera viewfinder. Similar functionality is expected from the V60 ThinQ as well. Other anticipated features on the smartphone include a triple rear camera setup, a Snapdragon 855 SoC, water resistance and a 3.5mm audio jack.

Earlier in this month, UAProf files of two Sony phones with model numbers J8210 and J8010 were spotted. These phones have respective code names of SPHINX and HORUS and they are equipped with 5G modems. Since the Xperia 1 has a model number of J8110, it appears that the J8210 could be the Xperia 2 or an upgraded version of Xperia 1 that may arrive as Xperia 1 Premium or Xperia 1 5G. The J8210 phone only supports full HD resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels with standard aspect ratio of 16:9. The actual screen resolution of the J8210 could be different. The J8010 supports 1644 x 3840 pixels like the Xperia 1.

The Japanese tech company is expected to announce Xperia 2 as well as Xperia 20 and Xperia 20 Pro mid-range phones at IFA 2019.
