Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Press Renders And Live Images Leaked

Back in October 2011 when Samsung launched the first Galaxy Note, it took the market completely by surprise. The Galaxy Note 9 was the first smartphone with such a large (by 2011 standards) 5.29-inch display. Since then, along with the display size, the specifications of the Samsung Galaxy Note series has seen a major overhaul. The latest smartphone in the series is the Samsung Galaxy Note 9. And, it seems like the leaks for the device just keep on coming. The latest leak is by Evan Blass, showing a press render of the smartphone with the all-new S Pen. The leak was posted on Twitter in a reply to a tweet by Marques Brownlee, otherwise known as MKBHD.

The other leak was posted by the Twitter user Ice universe showcasing what is potentially the live images of the Samsung Galaxy Note 9. In recent years, Samsung has stopped making major design changes to their smartphones and the Galaxy Note 9 may be following the same trend. Except for the placement of the fingerprint sensor below the secondary camera, there isn’t much of a difference between the Galaxy Note 8 and Note 9. This puts the previous rumours of a screen embedded fingerprint sensor to rest.

I once said, don't believe in exaggerated renderings, Note9 and Note8 are very similar, in fact, I am right. pic.twitter.com/gebEP3KApO

The Galaxy Note 9 may come with a 6.4-inch Super AMOLED display with a 2960 x 1440 px resolution and an aspect ratio of 18.5:9. The pixel density for the Note 9 could peak at about 514 ppi. Samsung has been using Corning Gorilla Glass for most of its smartphones and the Note 9 may also feature Corning Gorilla Glass 5.

There may be more than one SoC variant for the Samsung Galaxy Note 9. There could be a US variant with a Snapdragon 845 SoC as well. The other could be an EMEA (Europe, the Middle East, and Asia) variant with an Exynos 9810 octa-core chipset.

If the leaked images are anything to go by, then the camera setup for the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 may feature dual rear-mounted sensors. This flagship could also feature an 8MP front-facing camera. This is similar to the camera setup found on the Galaxy Note 8.

Samsung will have to make sure that the Note 9 packs a punch. Especially since the company’s market performance has been a little underwhelming despite the Galaxy S9 and S9+ doing well. The launch of the device is right around the corner on August 9.

Honor 9N To Launch On 24th July

Huawei is a Chinese smartphone manufacturer which has been giving the likes of Samsung a tough competition. The company took to Twitter on 15th July to announce that it will be bringing the Huawei Honor 9N to India. As confirmed by the company, the phone will launch on the 24th of July. Previous speculations suggested that the phone would launch under the name of Honor 9i. This name could have created a little confusion in the market. There is already a Huawei phone with the name Honor 9i which launched back in October 2017. Here is the tweet by the company.

Beauty is not what meets the eye but an essence that is all around us! ??
Get ready to witness beauty like never before at the grand launch of #Honor9N on 24th July! ??
Mark your calendar! #BeautyAllAround pic.twitter.com/HaOS70q6NO

— Honor India (@HiHonorIndia) July 16, 2018

Amidst speculation, not much about the Honor 9N is confirmed. The only confirmation we got was for the design. The smartphone follows the same design pattern as its predecessor, the Honor 9 Lite.

Honor 9 Lite

Huawei has been focussing on integrating AI in its smartphones and we could expect the trend to continue with the 9N as well. The Honor 9N may feature the company’s latest GPU Turbo update. This update, as the company claims, improves the gaming performance by 60% while reducing battery consumption by 30%. Unlike the Honor 9 Lite, this smartphone may feature a notch-display. This could mean that Huawei might go with a 19:9 aspect ratio for the Honor 9N. The smartphone may not compromise with its bezels and have a similar almost bezel-less display as the Honor 9 Lite or the Honor 9.

Several tweets by the company show that the Honor 9N will feature a dual rear-camera mounted horizontally. Below the camera setup, sits the fingerprint sensor.

The Chinese manufacturer uses its own chipsets for its smartphones named, Kirin. Such may be the case for the Huawei Honor 9N as well. The Honor 9 Lite had a Kirin 659 chipset, so we can expect similar if not better chipset for the Honor 9N.

Huawei has not confirmed the price segment at which this smartphone is aimed. Regardless, we speculate that it will be a budget-friendly smartphone. We are closely monitoring the Honor 9N news and will keep you updated with the same. So stay tuned to iGyaan.

Xiaomi Mi A2 Confirmed To Launch On July 24 With Android One

The Chinese smartphone manufacturing company, Xiaomi has made a name for itself in the Indian market. Fans love the company mostly for its budget-friendly devices. The Xiaomi Mi A2 will be an Android One device which would launch on July 24 in Madrid, Spain. We can expect the Xiaomi Mi A2 to be another of those budget-friendly devices. The Xiaomi Mi A2 has been subject to a lot of speculations over the past few weeks. The new tweet by the company revealed the launch details.

The #MiA2 & #MiA2Lite are coming your way very soon. Did you guess right? #2isbetterthan1 pic.twitter.com/KYsPKeHWa2

— Xiaomi (@Xiaomi) July 17, 2018

Xiaomi Mi A2 will be available in four variants. The most affordable one will have 4GB of RAM and 32GB of onboard storage, the second on the list will have 64GB storage and the same RAM. The third variant on the list will have 6GB of RAM and 64GB storage while the most premium variant will have 6GB RAM and 128GB of onboard storage.

Another aspect of the Xiaomi Mi A2 revealed in the leak is the colour options. The smartphone will be available in Gold, Blue and Black colour variants in India. However, looking at the marketing strategy of many smartphone makers, Xiaomi could launch a special red colour edition a couple of months after the Mi A2 launch. Much like the OnePlus 6.

Mi 6X Pink Variant

The smartphone is expected to have a 5.99-inch FHD+ 2160 x 1080 px IPS LCD display with a 16:9 ratio aspect ratio. The screen to body ratio could be around 70.1%. The smartphone might run on the Snapdragon 626/660 Octa-core chipset. The beloved 3.5mm headphone jack could also make a reappearance on the Mi A2.

The dual rear-camera on the Mi A2 could feature a 12 MP sensor with a f/2.2 aperture and another 12 MP sensor with a f/2.6 aperture. The front-facing camera of the device might have a 5 MP sensor capable of shooting 1080p videos.

WhatsApp Beta Update To Enable WhatsApp Stickers

Facebook, the social network which bought the messaging service, WhatsApp back in February 2014, has been updating the platform. The new beta update for the app brings stickers to its users. Though the WhatsApp beta version has been around for a while, Facebook has never tested this feature for the app before. There are many other messaging platforms which have already embraced this concept. It will be the first time that WhatsApp will introduce stickers to its users.

The new WhatsApp beta update will bring a lot of interesting sticker packs. A Twitter post shows two sticker packs, Unchi & Rollie and Bibimbap Friends.

WhatsApp beta for Android 2.18.218:
1) Sticker preview!
2) When the WhatsApp Sticker Store has a new updated sticker pack, there will be a green dot on the “+” button.

Must Read: OnePlus 3 Gets Beta Android Oreo Update

Previously, WhatsApp gave its users the option to send GIFs and emojis. The addition of stickers will probably help the app gain more traction. There are several other rumours which claim that the beta update will also provide a sticker store. Whether the store will have region-specific stickers like those found on Hike messenger is unclear.

The WhatsApp beta update was announced at the F8 conference in May 2018. The beta version with the sticker will be available in the version 2.18.218. The current beta update provides group voice chat and video call features.

Stickers will have separate categories depending on the type of emotion they depict. Some of the categories are Lol, Wow, Love, and Sad. The developers haven’t confirmed the official release date for this update yet. We are certain, however, that the WhatsApp Beta Stickers update is just around the corner. So if you haven’t already, now will a good time to signup for the Beta release of the app.

WhatsApp is one of the most downloaded messenger apps of all time. It is natural for Facebook to keep the users engaged with new features.

Meizu 16 Benchmark Leak Overtakes OnePlus 6

Meizu is a Chinese electronics manufacturing company, has made its name in the smartphone industry. Its latest upcoming smartphone is expected to be the Meizu 16. The first leak for the device was the front panel glass leak. Posted on Weibo, the panel features thin Samsung-like bezels. This may be the first phone from the company to feature an almost bezel-less display. The latest leaks reveal the benchmark score of the smartphone.

The leaks reveal that the Maize 16 scored a whopping 291,866 while OnePlus scored 284,642 on AnTuTu. Similarly, a smartphone marketed for gaming, the Mi Black Shark also scored 288,222. This score is far less than that of Meizu’s new device. The company launched the Meizu 15 in April of 2018, to which this smartphone will be a successor.

Meizu 16 Benchmark Score

Although not much is known about the device, we speculate that Meizu 16 could feature a 6.1-inch display. The display resolution of the device could be 2960 x 1440 px with an aspect ratio of 18.5:9. The company might use an OLED panel for the smartphone. This smartphone could be the company’s 2018 flagship.

Conclusion

Companies like Oppo and Vivo are bringing a notch-less and an almost bezel-less experience. This toughens the competition in the smartphone market. For Huawei Nova series to do well, the company will have to price its smartphones carefully.

Huawei GPU Turbo Update Pushing Out To Select Devices

The new update which Huawei is calling GPU Turbo will release in August. The company plans to roll out the update only for a few of its smartphones. The Huwaei GPU Turbo will significantly improve the graphical performance of the device without compromising on its battery life.

The Huawei GPU Turbo is similar to overclocking the CPU of a computer. The update will improve the overall performance of the device by optimizing its resource utilization. This would result in almost 60% improved graphical performance while reducing close to 30% of battery consumption. Which means, not only will you be able to game better, but the battery life of your device will also improve.

Huawei is closely working with developers to make sure the update is a bug-free experience by the time it releases. The company has placed its bets on software optimization at a time when the competition is focussed on hardware. This is a refreshing change as having the latest GPU does not necessarily mean better performance. A well-optimized smartphone can use the GPU to its full potential.

Huawei GPU Turbo will provide noticeable improvements in games like PUBG. PUBG is a resource hungry game which eats away at the battery life of a smartphone. With GPU Turbo, the battery life will improve quite significantly.

Following is a list of devices, release date, and regions which will receive the Huawei GPU Turbo update.

Device	Release Date	Region
Huawei Mate 10, Mate 10 Pro, Mate RS	August 2018	Europe, Russia, Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa
Huawei P20 and P20 Pro	August 2018	Europe, Russia, Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa
Huawei P20 Lite	September 2018	Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa
Huawei Nova 2i	September 2018	All Markets
Huawei P Smart	September 2018	All Markets
Huawei Mate 10 Lite	September 2018	All Markets
Huawei Y9 (2018)	September 2018	All Markets
Huawei Mate 9 and Mate 9 Pro	November 2018	All Markets

Ferrari’s Design Company Working On A $2M Electric Hypercar

The company which designed the Ferrari F40, Pininfarina, is planning to launch a $2 million electric hypercar according to reports. Pininfarina has designed Maserati cars as well. Now the company is planning to launch its own hypercar in hopes to set a benchmark in the history of car making. The company is calling this the PF0 or the PF Zero.

Small History

Pininfarina was responsible for designing the classic Ferrari F40. The company showcased its capabilities in the 2016 Geneva Automobile Convention. With their H2 Speed 2018, the company introduced the world to its first hydrogen-powered hypercar. The car could go from 0 to 100km/h in just 3.4 seconds. The new PF0 plans to blow that record out of the water by supposedly going from 0 to 100 miles/hr in less than two seconds.

Pininfarina H2 Speed via Pininfarina

Press Release

In the press release, Michael Perschke, the CEO of Automobili Pininfarina said:

Automobili Pininfarina is a pioneering new business created to service the most discerning clients in the world. Our product portfolio will launch with an innovative, zero-emissions hypercar that represents the progression we aim to make at the pinnacle of the luxury and sports car market.

With PF0 the company aims to deliver speed and luxury in a single package. The car could do well in Silicon Valley where the electric car is the new buzzwords.

Top Speed

PF0 will feature a charging time from 0 to 80 percent in a mere 15 minutes. This puts Tesla’s Supercharging stations to shame which take up to 20 minutes for a 0 to 50 percent charge.

Pininfarina PF0 Design via Pininfarina NYC Press Release

Final Verdict

Pininfarina designed the Ferrari F40 to run on gasoline, with their PF0 the company wants to enter the electric hypercar market. To face the competition the company has to keep up with the market standards of an electric car. Whether or not Pininfarina can set itself apart from the competition will be seen when the concept is unveiled at the 2019 Geneva convention.

OnePlus Dash Charge Likely To Be Rebranded “Warp Charge”
OnePlus introduced Dash Charge with their smartphone line back in 2016. However, OnePlus is now planning to start from the scratch and rebrand “Dash Charge”. The new name for OnePlus’ fast charging feature could be “Warp Charge”.

OnePlus decided to rebrand the name after it faced a trademark rejection in the EU. There were two main reasons why OnePlus could not own the Dash Charge trademark in the EU. The OnePlus Dash Charge clashed with the name of Bragi’s wireless earphones, “The Dash Pro”. The name also clashed with Amazon’s “Dash Replenishment”.

The trademark for Warp Charge was filed at the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO). The filing comes under the Nice Class 9, which covers:
- Data cables
- power adapters
- cell phone battery chargers
- electrical adapters
- electric batteries
- chargers for electric batteries
- wireless chargers
And since the OnePlus Dash Charge is a name for the company’s charging feature, the trademark falls under the Nice Class 9.

Must Read: Tesla iPhone X Has A Solar Battery And Costs US$ 4590

OnePlus has made a logo for the new “Warp Charge” brand name. The look has the words “Warp Charge” in black colour seemingly warping and getting distorted due to high speeds.

OnePlus Dash Charge Rebranded to Warp Charge

OnePlus already started doing away with the Dash Charge brand by renaming “Dash Charge” to “rapidly charging” when you plug in a OnePlus 6. So it’s evident that there will be a rebranding at some point in time. However, There is no word from the EUIPO on whether the organization will accept the trademark. We will keep an eye out for further updates to see what would be the new name for Dash Charge so stay tuned to iGyaan.

Honor Note 10 Rolls Royce Edition Images Leaked

Smartphone manufacturer, Huawei, has partnered with the British automobile company, Rolls Royce to launch a new device. The latest leaks show a hands-on image of the Honor Note 10 Rolls Royce Edition. The smartphone could launch on 26th July in China. The image only shows the rear panel which houses the Rolls Royce logo and has a glossy metallic finish.

Must Read: Nokia X6 With All-Glass Design And A Notch Launched

Honor Note 10 Rolls Royce Edition

The image also shows what seems like a USB Type-C slot and a single speaker grill at the bottom. Although it would be too early to say anything for sure, from the looks of it, the smartphone may not feature the headphone jack. The rear also houses a fingerprint sensor and a dual-camera setup.

The Honor Note 10 Rolls Royce Edition might launch at a price of ¥9998 (approx $1495). The smartphone could follow the same limited stock trend of other special edition devices. At this point, we cannot say for certain if this device will launch in India.

The Honor Note 10 will also come in color variants other than the special edition. While we don’t have the official name of these colors yet, we do have an alleged image showing them.

Honor Note 10 Color Variants

The Honor Note 10 Rolls Royce edition could have the same specifications as the other color variants except for maybe the storage size. The smartphone could feature a 6.9-inch Super AMOLED display with 3120 x 1440 px resolution and an aspect ratio of 19.5:9. This puts the pixel density at about 498 ppi.

Huawei is known for using their own Kirin chipset for their smartphones. The Honor Note 10 could feature the flagship Hisilicon Kirin 970. This is an octa-core chipset with 4 cores running at 2.4 GHz and the other four at 1.8 GHz.

As the live-images showed the smartphone will feature a primary dual-camera setup. The setup consists of a 16 MP sensor with f/1.8 aperture and a 24 MP Black and White sensor with f/1.8 aperture. There is still no word on whether the camera will feature OIS. The secondary camera will be a 16 MP sensor.

A marketing strategy like releasing a special edition of smartphones could either work wonders for a company or it could be seen as a gimmick. We would keep an eye out to see which way things go for Huawei with the Honor Note 10 Rolls Royce Edition, so stay tuned to iGyaan.

Galaxy Note 9 Accidentally Advertised By Samsung

In the latest leak from the company, Samsung has accidentally released an advertisement for the Galaxy Note 9. The news comes from the tipster twitter handle, Ice universe. The account shared a photo of a full-page ad of the Galaxy Note 9.

Galaxy Note9/S Pen pic.twitter.com/uAqOpZY2VC

— ICE UNIVERSE (@UniverseIce) July 12, 2018

The page advertises the Note 9 as “The new super powerful Note 9”. Not sure where Samsung was going with that but the overall design of the smartphone though not new, still looks impressive. What is expected to be new, is the revamped S-Pen which will now feature Bluetooth capabilities.

A Galaxy Note 9 design render video was posted on YouTube. The video shows an elegant design which follows the same design pattern as the Galaxy Note 8. The only noticeable difference is the placement of the fingerprint sensor, which sits right below the rear-camera module.

The Galaxy Note 9 might have a 6.4-inch Super AMOLED display with 1440 x 2960 px resolution and an aspect ratio of 18.5:9. The pixel density for the Note 9 could peak at about 514 ppi. The display will be protected with Corning Gorilla Glass 5.

The SoC for the Note 9 could vary from region to region. For instance, EMEA (Europe, the Middle East, and Asia) may see a Galaxy Note 9 with an Exynos 9810 octa-core chipset. Four of these eight cores will run at 2.7 GHz and the other four at 1.8 GHz. The second variant could launch with a Snapdragon 845 SoC, for USA and China.

The camera setup for the Galaxy Note 9 may feature dual rear-mounted sensors. The rear-camera setup is speculated to have a 12MP sensor with an aperture of f/1.5 and another 12MP sensor with f/2.4 aperture. This flagship may also feature an 8MP front-facing camera. The primary sensor could have OIS capabilities and 2x optical zoom.

Samsung has been lagging behind the competition for a while. Especially after massive a sales dip last year. All eyes are glued to Samsung as the Galaxy Note 9 release is around the corner. Stay tuned to iGyaan for further updates.
