Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Users Face Headphones Volume Issues

Xiaomi launched the Redmi Note 5 Pro and the Redmi Note 5 on the 14th of February. While the Redmi Note 5 succeeds the highly popular Redmi Note 4, the Redmi Note 5 Pro is essentially a more powerful Redmi Note 5. We still believe that the Redmi Note 5 Pro could have easily been the Redmi Note 5. However, Xiaomi clearly had different plans. Even after three flash sales, it is still difficult to get one due to its high-demand.

In fact, on the day of its first slash sale, the Redmi Note 5 Pro received the Face Unlock feature via an OTA update. However, all isn’t rosy in the Redmi Note 5 Pro land. A few users started reporting that the volume on the smartphone goes very low after connecting a wired headset. However, the volume through the loudspeaker was adequately sound.

Xiaomi was keen enough to listen to the customers about their query on the Mi Community Forum. In fact, the company has already issued a new MIUI 9.2.5.0 software update, which resolves the issue. However, our review unit is still running on MIUI 9.2.4.0 and haven’t received an update.

Specifications

The Xioami Redmi Note 5 Pro has a 5.99-inch 2160 x 1080p IPS LCD screen with Corning Gorilla Glass. This is the first global smartphone to use Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 processor with 4GB or 6GB RAM and 64GB storage.

The smartphone has a dual-camera setup on the back. The primary camera is a 12MP sensor while the other one is a 5MP camera used for depth effect shots. There is a 20MP front-facing camera which records 1080p videos.

The smartphone runs MIUI 9 on top of Android 7.1 Nougat. Powering the smartphone is a massive 4000 mAh battery which supports Qualcomm QuickCharge 2.0.

Apple Music For Android Gets A UI Update
Apple Music is the second most popular music streaming service in the world after Spotify. The subscription plan is priced at Rs 120 per month or Rs 1,200 per year in India. The music streaming service has about 45 million songs in its library. The company also offers free three months trial, by accepting debit/credit card details. One has to sign up using Apple ID, which can then be used on multiple Android or iOS devices. However, one can stream only on one device at a time.

Apple Music is free to download from Google Play Store. However, it needs an Apple ID and subscription to access the content. However, it is worth noting that Apple Music is only compatible with Android devices running Android 4.3 or newer version.

Now, Apple has silently updated the Apple Music for Android OS. After the latest update, the Apple Music on Android looks much cleaner and similar to the iOS counterpart. Similarly, the update also fixes some of the stability issues, which now offers a more fluid music playback experience.

The music video feature was available on the Android OS from 2016. However, the UI experience was not at par with its iOS counterpart. With this update, Apple has unified the UI of Apple Music on Android and iOS devices. This gives Apple an edge over YouTube which still lacks background playback capability. However, with Android 8 Oreo’s Picture-In-Picture mode, YouTube videos can be played while performing other functions. This, however, is still not possible on iOS.

New features on Apple Music for Android version 2.4
- Option to watch music videos in full screen or now playing window
- Watching music video while browsing the library
- Listening to a music video in the background, while surfing third-party application
- Adding your favourite music video to a playlist and watch them subsequently

Similarly, the company has launched the Xiaomi Mi TV 4A 32 inch and 43 inch India for the price of Rs 13,999 and Rs 22,999 respectively. The Mi TV 4A will be available on Flipkart, Mi.com and Mi Home from the 13th of March. To tackle the cumbersome nature of flash sales, there will be two sales every week on Tuesday and Friday.

Mi TV 4A 32 inch Specifications

The television has a 32 inch HD 1366 × 768px display with 178-degree viewing angle. However, the 43 inch variant has a 1920 x 1080 px resolution.

The Mi TV 4A is also the most affordable smart television. The television powered by Amlogic chipset with 1GB RAM and 8GB storage. This is a modern television, which runs on the AI-powered PatchWall OS based on Android. The PatchWall OS is an intuitive UI, which offers movies and shows recommendation based on AI.

Under the hood, the Television is powered by the 64-Bit Amlogic L962 Quad-core chipset. As for connectivity, the television has Wi-Fi ac 802.11 a/b/g/n, three HDMI ports, two USB ports, AV in, Ethernet port, and S/PDIF audio output (only in 43 inch variant).

The LG G7 Will Have An iPhone X Like Notch

At the recently concluded MWC 2018, LG unveiled the V30S ThinQ. This is not a completely new flagship instead, it is exactly like the LG V30 with an AI camera app. However, it is fair to assume that LG had much better plans for one of the largest mobile events in the world. The LG G7 was expected to be launched as a 2018 flagship smartphone.

That, however, did not happen as the company decided to overhaul its next flagship. The CEO of LG Mobiles conceded that the company would no longer follow a pattern for launching smartphones. This paved the way for a refresh of the LG V30 with trendy AI camera capabilities. However, the LG V30S ThinQ with its unusually long name was not the only LG device present at MWC 2018.

A leaked report suggests that the company had a plan to launch the flagship LG G7 at MWC 2018. In fact, it was even showed off behind closed doors. However, an Israeli publication managed to record a video of the upcoming LG G7 and it has astonishing features.

Renders

Studying the leaked video TechnoBuffalo and leaker, Benjamin Geskin have come up with renders of the G7. The renders reveal the possible design of the LG G7 (or whatever the company decides to call it). The most striking design aspect of the smartphone is the notch on the display. MWC 2018 saw a lot of smartphones launch with a notch. So much so that the iPhone X no longer looks like the odd one out.

Apart from the notch, the dual-cameras will be placed vertically on the back of the device. However, the placement is different from the ones found on the iPhone X. The fingerprint sensor will be placed just below the camera module. Similar to a lot of recent LG flagship smartphones, it will have an all-glass build with an aluminium frame.

Expected Specifications

The LG G7 is expected to have a 6 inch pOLED display with a 2880 x 1440 px resolution. Until Corning comes up with Gorilla Glass 6, we expect most flagship smartphones to have the Gorilla Glass 5 on top.

Under the hood, the G7 will have the Snapdragon 845 chipset. One of the primary issues with the LG G6 was its older chipset. By no means was the Snapdragon 821 a bad chipset but, the Galaxy S8 with the Snapdragon 835 made the G6 look archaic. However, that won’t happen this time around as Samsung no longer has exclusive access to the new chipset.

LG G7 Leaked Images

Features like water resistance, wireless charging and fast charging are expected to be retained. The dual-camera setup on the back will be placed vertically, this time around. The implementation is expected to be the same as the G6 and V30. A regular lens coupled with a wide-angle lens. This is also something that has been appreciated by many LG users.

Conclusion

There is no denying that LG has seen a rapid decline in its smartphone business. Veterans like Apple, Samsung and new entrants like Xiaomi and OnePlus have had much more popular products in the market. However, a rebranding of sorts and high-end specifications might sway consumers toward an LG flagship device.

Xiaomi Mi MIX 2s Leaked Video Reveals A Tiny Notch On Top

Xiaomi started the trend of bezel-less smartphones by launching the Xiaomi Mi MIX. The Mi MIX 2 had an identical design, with a much more compact form factor. However, users were still not satisfied with the placement of the front-facing camera. However, it looks like Xiaomi might address this issue with the upcoming Mi MIX 2S. The company is all set to launch the Mi MIX 2S in Shangai on the 27th of March.

Leaked Video Reveals A Tiny Notch On Top

The Xiaomi Mi MIX 2S has been heavily leaked in last few weeks. The company has already confirmed that the MIX 2S will be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chipset with a dual camera setup.

Recent leaks suggest that the Xiaomi Mi MIX 2S will have a dual AI-powered primary camera. In fact, the Mi MIX 2S could be the first Xiaomi smartphone to support wireless charging. Similarly, a fresh live video has been leaked, which showcases the notch on the device with the front-facing camera. The smartphone is allegedly running on the MiUi 9 with the “Limitless” theme.

However, XDA Developers recently unearthed that the Mi MIX 2S will have the front facing camera housed in the bottom bezel. Much like the Xiaomi Mi MIX and Mi MIX 2. Only time will tell what turns out to be true.

Leaked Mi MIX 2S Image

Expected specifications of Xiaomi Mi MIX 2S

The smartphone is expected to have a 6 inch 2160 x 1080p display with a notch at the top right corner. Under the hood, the smartphone will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chipset with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage. However, the smartphone will not support memory expansion.

The device is expected to have a 3400 mAH Li-ion battery with wireless and fast charging. The phone will run on Android 8 Oreo OS with custom MIUI 9 skin on the top. However, none of the Xiaomi devices, barring the Mi A1, run on Android 8 Oreo as of now.

What To Expect From The Xiaomi Mi TV Launch Event

The Xiaomi Mi TV 4 with 55 inch 4K HDR display is selling like hot cakes. In fact, the TV went on flash sale three times, where it was sold out in less than three minutes every single time.

The Mi TV 4 is one of the best Smart TV that is available in the Indian market, which offers great value for money. In fact, the TV has been critically acclaimed for the colour reproduction and the picture quality. However, a lot of people have complained about the size of the TV. Most people believe that does not suit an average Indian house. Recent leaks suggest that the company might address this issue with a couple of new launches.

The company is expected to launch the Mi TV 4 with 32 inch and 43 inch displays. The televisions are expected to be priced at Rs 12,999 and Rs 21,999/27,999 respectively. In fact, these models are already available in China, with the brand name Mi TV 4A and Mi TV 4C.

Xiaomi India is hosting a launch event today at 3 pm where these televisions will be unveiled.

Expected specifications of Xiaomi Mi TV 4 43 inch

The Xiaomi Mi TV 4C will have a 43 inch 1920 x 1080px IPS LCD display with HDR 10 capability. Under the hood, the TV is powered by Amlogic Quad-core chipset with 3GB RAM and 32GB storage. Also, we might see a model with 2GB RAM and 8GB storage, which will be priced at Rs 21,999.

However, do note that the Mi TV 4 came with 2GB RAM and 8GB storage and the Mi TV 4C listing says 3GB RAM and 32GB storage.

The smart TV will also support dual-band Wifi b/g/n/ac with Bluetooth 4.2. In terms of audio capability, the TV will support Dolby audio with DTS HD surround sound.

Expected specifications of Xiaomi Mi TV 4 32 inch

This will be the most affordable smart TV from the company, which is expected to retail for Rs 12,999. As mentioned above, the TV will have a 32 inch display with 1366 × 768px resolution. Under the hood, the TV will be powered by Amlogic Quad-core chipset with 1GB RAM and 4GB storage.

The TV will be powered by the custom PatchWall OS based on Android. The TV will support all the standard connectivity ports like Dual HDMI port, USB type-A port, and a normal 3 Pin connector. As this is a smart TV, it will also support WiFi wireless network. However, the 32 inch model does not support Bluetooth.

The AI-based app from Google helps to get information on the wide-range of objects or places. This AI technology is used to get information on objects, buildings and products. Similarly, the company is working on a newer algorithm to distinguish between different animals. In fact, this will help the tourists, who are in a new place and wants to get information on different places. However, Google Lens will not work on everything, at least in India.

HTC U12 Will Feature Matte White Glass Design

The next flagship smartphone from HTC is expected to be the HTC U12. Like the Galaxy S9, the HTC U12 will be an incremental update, which is expected to retain the design from the current HTC flagship, the U11+. However, in terms of hardware, the smartphone is expected to suit up with the top of the line 2018 specifications.

HTC U11+

Like the HTC U11+, the U12 is expected to have an 18:9 aspect ratio and thin bezels. Hence, the fingerprint sensor will be placed on the back of the smartphone. The HTC U12 is also expected to feature dual primary camera setup. However, we are still unsure about what the implementation will be.

The device is expected to feature HTC’s trademarked liquid-glass design with a matte finish. In fact, the company might go with the ceramic-coating to achieve the matte white glass finish.

Leaked specifications

The HTC U12 will have a 5.99 inch display with a 2880 x 1440 px resolution with 18:9 aspect ratio like the HTC U11+.

Coupled with this chipset will be up to 6GB of RAM and 256GB of onboard storage. However, details about other variants have not been revealed. It will be IP68 rated for water and dust resistance, a staple for modern-day flagship phones.

Interestingly, the leak mentions HTC Face Unlock as well. Now, it is a known fact that Face Unlock is the new trend of the industry. However, it will be interesting to see how HTC implements this feature and how secure it’ll be. On the back of the smartphone will be a dual camera setup of a 12MP sensor coupled with a 16MP Sony IMX3xx sensor. No details about the nature of these sensors have been revealed so far.

The HTC U12 will run Android 8 Oreo out of the box with HTC Sense UI on top. Powering the device will be a 3420 mAh battery which will support QuickCharge 4.0.
