  • Apple To Use LG Displays In 2018 iPhones

    Apple To Use LG Displays In 2018 iPhones

    There is no doubt that despite being a little late to the OLED game, Apple has impressed its customers with one of the best OLED displays on the market today. Even though the display is entirely manufactured by Samsung, the iPhone X’s display was manufactured under extremely precise conditions all of which were controlled by Apple themselves. Apple has also managed to tune the display the offer up a heightened color balance, and no ghosting or burn in issues.

    But, it seems like Apple is diversifying away from Samsung in an attempt to control their production standards further and increase output of the displays to meet demands for the next generation of iPhones, all of which are expected to use OLED displays. According to the Investor Korea, Apple plans to diversify OLED models this year. Sources said LG Display is likely to produce larger 6.5-inch screens, while Samsung Display will focus more on producing smaller 5.8- or 6-inch screens. LG Display will start production in the second quarter at its E6 plant in Paju, Gyeonggi Province. The plant, consisting of two OLED production lines, has a monthly production capacity of 6 million OLED screens but its full-capacity production is expected to start next year considering its still low yield rate.

    Apple is rumoured to move entirely away from LCD panels this year, offering only previous versions of the iPhone with the LCD displays. As users and owners of the iPhone X have appreciated Apple’s first OLED phones, the company is said to swiftly work to have ample production ready for the next generation iPhone.

    OnePlus Just Blatantly Copied Moto’s Advertisement

    Yesterday OnePlus posted a media on their social media platforms showing the OnePlus 5 in a grey colour with the 50 Shades of Grey tag “Mr. Grey will See you now” with one small change, with the word “grey” spelt “Gray” which is a more American way of writing the word.

     

    This image seems to be an exact copy of an image Moto tweeted for the “grey” Moto M. While the meme for “Mr. Grey will see you now” is a popular and open concept. It seems that not only did OnePlus get inspired by the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 plus as far is design is concerned, the company is also seeking inspiration in creative campaigns for social media.

     

    The OnePlus 5 was launched on 22nd June in India, and was highly criticised for its design which looks similar to the iPhone 7. The OnePlus 5 runs a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chipset and features 6-8 GB of RAM. The OnePlus 5 also has a dual camera setup on the back which has been laid out much like the iPhone 7 plus.

  • Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Leaks Show Massive Screen And Dual Cameras

    Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Leaks Show Massive Screen And Dual Cameras

    A new leak out of china shows the front panel of the upcoming Galaxy Note 8 phone from Samsung. The phone which was rumored to be killed due to the massive failure of the Note 7 thanks to its battery issues, lives to see the light of day.

    The new leak goes in line with previous rumors of a 6.3/ 6.4 inch display on the next Note phone. With technology catching up, reports of the Note 8 with a  6.4-inch 4K Super AMOLED display increased. This would mean that Samsung may launch an upgraded Gear VR to match the phones performance.

    Samsung is reportedly added dual cameras at the back of the phone to match up with current day demands. The phone will still run on the Snapdragon 835/ Exynos 8895 depending on market, but will launch with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of Storage.

    It may seem that Samsung will be able to embed the fingerprint sensor under the front of the glass hence removing the need for a rear sensor. The Galaxy Note 7 will continue to hold an S-Pen and a 3.5 mm headphone jack, according to leaked schematics.

    The layout of the camera is expected to be a wide and tele, along with a 1.7 aperture on both cameras. The phone despite the large size will be comfortable to hold in the hand by the looks of it.

    Will Samsung get it right with the Note 8, considering that they have already recovered most of their market with the Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus.
