  • Alienware Area- 51m, An Upgradable Gaming Laptop

    Alienware Area- 51m, An Upgradable Gaming Laptop

    Imagine a powerful desktop computer, but portable.  It sounds like a gamer’s dream. Well, not anymore since Alienware has done just that. The new Area- 51m is a completely customisable laptop. It was launched at CES 2019 by Dell and is going to change how gaming laptops have been seen so far. 

    Up until now, gaming laptops have concentrated on becoming smaller in size while providing top of the line specifications. But that has meant that while a customer buys the laptop, it supports all contemporary games but the specifications become obsolete as years go by. Games these days have become extremely demanding in terms of system specifications and this means that most gaming laptops stop supporting high end games in just a few years’ time. But the Aleinware Area- 51 can replace both the CPU and the GPU so that a gamer does not have to upgrade to a whole new laptop every few years.

     

    Specifications

    The laptop will sport a ninth-gen Intel CPU and 20-series overclockable Nvidia GPU. This will be the first time that an Alienware laptop will support eight-core processors, 2.5Gbit Ethernet and 64GB of RAM.

    The laptop will be available in various CPU and GPU configurations. The CPU options include Intel’s 9th Gen i7-8700, i7-9700K or i9-9900K. GPU options of the laptop are Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060, GeForce RTX 2070 or GeForce RTX 2080. The RAM options for the laptop range from 8GB to 64GB DDR4 RAM with single, dual and triple storage options, from 256GB to 3TB. The screen of the laptop is a 17 inch screen with 144Hz G- Sync display. It also has a 10/100/1000/2.5 Gbps RJ-45 Ethernet with Killer Wireless 1550 2×2 AC and Bluetooth 5.0. The laptop is in no way light and weighs in at 8.5 pounds. Some of the weight is due to the body being made from a magnesium alloy. It will be available in either white or matte black.

    The cooling system used is called Cryo-Tech 2.0, which covers the dual-intake, dual-exhaust airflow design, copper fin stacks, heat pipes and high-voltage fans. It also has hexagonal shaped vents for cooling both under and at the back of the laptop. 

    The lowest specced laptop starts at just around $2,000 and should be available on Jan 21st, 2019.

  • LG Is Developing An Outward Folding Smartphone

    LG Is Developing An Outward Folding Smartphone

    LG seems to be gearing up for an exciting 2019. Ever since the inception of smartphones, the form factor has largely remained the same. The year 2019 is expected to showcase smartphones with new form factors. A patent assigned to LG states that the company is developing a unique looking foldable smartphone.

    Foldable LG Smartphone

    LG had filed a patent for a foldable smartphone with WIPO (World Intellectual Property Office)  and USPTO  (United States Patent and Trademark Office) that has now been granted. In the past, several LG foldable smartphone patents have leaked but the latest patent has a totally different folding style. The new patent reveals an LG smartphone that folds on the outwards vs inwards or rolling. 

    Samsung has also showcased the Galaxy F smartphone that has an inward folding display. It seems LG wants to leave no stone unturned and is trying to experiment with as many types of foldable devices. The LG patent is detailed enough and clearly explains how LG conceptualises an outward folding smartphone

     Patent Revelations

    The outward folding LG device looks like two symmetrically stacked smartphones that have been consolidated by a flexible touchscreen display. The left part of the device conceals a spring operated mechanism that elongates when the smartphone is unfolded outwards. This elongation of the left part allows the foldable display to stay tight and wrinkle-free. 

    The device when unfolded transforms into a tablet with a widescreen display. When in tablet mode the UI of the device also adjusts automatically for easy operability.  The middle of the display acts as the main navigation bar that has a swipeable list of icons for applications. The device can simultaneously display two different applications on either halves or a single application as per the need. 

    Launch Date

    Also Read: LG Will Launch A Smartwatch With An Inband Camera

    The launch date of the outward folding LG smartphone is unknown but the company might showcase some type of foldable smartphone at the upcoming MWC which is scheduled for 25-28 January 2019.

    Poco F2 Will Have WaterDrop Notch And Glass Back

    Xiaomi launched the Poco F1 smartphone in the second half of 2018. Due to its aggressive pricing and flagship specifications, it shook the global smartphone market. The Poco F1 surely offers excellent value for money but it does fall short in a few areas. Xiaomi is expected to fix these shortcomings on the Poco F2 which has leaked online.

    Poco F2 Design

    The year 2018 was the year of the notch and the Poco F1 also had one, though the notch on that device was thick and wide. The leak of the Poco F2 reveals that the upcoming smartphone has a small water drop notch and even thinner bezels. The front-facing selfie camera is housed in the notch at the top of the display. The earpiece for listening to voice calls is built into the top bezel of the Poco F2.

    Like its predecessor, the Poco F2 also has right side mounted power button and volume rockers. The rear of the new device also gets a redesign treatment. The dual rear cameras along with the LED flash have been shifted to the top left side of the device while the fingerprint sensor is similarly positioned. It seems that the back panel of the Poco F2 is made out of glass so that the device emanates premium look and feel. 

    Leaked Specifications

    The Poco F2 has already paid a visit to the Geekbench website which revealed its key specifications. The smartphone will feature the Snapdragon Octa-Core SoC which is also present on its predecessor. The CPU of the device has a base clock frequency of 1.77 GHz which will easily go upwards of 2.0 GHz.

    The Poco F2 runs on latest Android 9.0 Pie Operating system which most likely will be skinned with MIUI 10. The device in the Geekbench listing only has 6 GB of RAM but higher RAM variants are also expected. 

    Launch Date

    Xiaomi Foldable Tablet / Phone Leaks, With Triple Folds

    Xiaomi was founded in the year 2010 and during this 8-9 year period the company has developed several successful products . The company manufactures a wide variety of products ranging from smartphones to TVs. Strangely enough, the company even manufactures luggage trollies and mobility scooters, among many other everyday items. Though the largest contributor to overall revenue for Xiaomi still remains smartphones.

    The year 2019 is believed to be the year of smart devices with flexible displays that can be used as both a tablet and a smartphone. Samsung has already announced that the first foldable Galaxy phone will be launched this year. Similarly, Huawei also has big plans for a foldable smartphone in the year 2019. A video leak reveals that Xiaomi already has a functional foldable device. 

    Foldable Xiaomi Device

    The leaked video of the alleged foldable Xiaomi device is leaked on Twitter by Evan Blass aka evleaks. The video showcases a foldable tablet that can fold into one third than its original size. The video has been captured in a badly lit environment and the Xiaomi branding was nowhere to be seen in the video. However, the User Interface and the icon pack on the device clearly express that the device runs on Xiaomi’s MIUI 10. 

    Surprisingly the quality of the foldable display panel looks good and the device when folded transforms into a handheld smartphone. The user demonstrates the Google maps application on the foldable tablet / phone which readjusts when the tablet is folded. The device when in its folded state has curved edges that look reminiscent to the non-foldable Samsung Galaxy Edge smartphones. Like Samsung smartphones, Xiaomi might add some functionality to the curved edges of the foldable device. 

    Launch Date

Most notably Samsung is also expected to launch the first foldable smartphone in Q1 of 2019 and Xiaomi being their direct competitor might be planning something similar.

    Xiaomi is a popular smartphone brand in India. The Xiaomi Redmi series smartphones are one of the highest selling devices in India. Apart from the Redmi series, the company also sells the Mi ‘A’ series of smartphones which are based on the Android One platform. In other words, these smartphones run on stock Android which provides for a smooth and bloatware free experience. 

    The first Android One smartphone that the company launched was the Mi A1 which was followed by the Mi A2 and Mi A2 Lite. The Mi A2 is rated one of the best camera smartphones under the price of Rs 20,000. The device due to its sturdy build and lag free OS experience was appreciated by most. Xiaomi in an attempt continue this streak of successful Android One smartphones is working an all-new Android One device which is believed to be the Mi A3.

    Mi A3 Aka The Orchid_Sprout
    Xiaomi Mi A2

    A junior member at XDA developers while digging through the Android 9 Pie based MIUI 10 firmware files discovered a mystery device with the code name “orchid_sprout”. Close inspection revealed that every Android One smartphone manufactured by Xiaomi carries the sprout suffix in their code names. 

    • Mi A1 –  tissot_sprout
    • Mi A2 – jasmine_sprout
    • Mi A2 Lite – daisy_sprout

Alas, the source does not disclose any information about the physical overview or any specifications of the Mi A3. Nonetheless the smartphone will have better specifications than its predecessor, the Mi A2. 

    Expectations From The Mi A3
    • Better Camera Performance- The camera performance was definitely a distinctive feature of the Mi A2 and the Mi A3 is only expected to take that performance even further.
    • Larger Battery Capacity- Albeit the Mi A2 has an optimised UI which provides a good battery life, it only has a 3,000 mAh battery and larger capacity would surely be appreciated. 
    • Thinner Bezels- The left and right bezels of the Mi A2 are quite thin while the top and bottom bezels are quite chunky. Thick top and bottom bezels just did fine in the year 2018 but to step up the game the Mi A3 must have thinner all around bezels and maybe the small unintrusive water drop notch.
