OnePlus 5T Listed For Pre-Order On Chinese E-Commerce Site

OnePlus 5T rumours are picking up pace and it appears that a Chinese website is prepared for the imminent launch already. Oppomart, a Chinese e-commerce website has listed the OnePlus 5T for pre-orders and the specifications match the latest rumours about the highly speculated device from OnePlus.

When the OnePlus 3T was launched with a newer chipset, a lot of OnePlus 3 owners were upset as the 3T was launched less than 6 months after the OnePlus 3 was launched. OnePlus responded to the backlash and said that the OnePlus 3T was an anomaly and a ‘T’ device won’t be launched again. The OnePlus 5T has been leaked in promotional images and renders and it appears that the new phone will finally see much thinner bezels with a similar looking back panel with the addition of a fingerprint sensor.

Just like the OnePlus 3T, the OnePlus 5T is expected to be an incremental update rather than a drastic new upgrade in terms of hardware. The 5T is expected to have the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chipset as it is the current flagship chipset. The dual cameras at the back are also expected to be the same as found on the OnePlus 5.

The OnePlus 5T is expected to be launched some time in November, similar to when the OnePlus 3T was launched. As is with every leak or rumour, we advice you to take this leaked image with a pinch of scepticism until there is a concrete statement from the company about its plans of launching the OnePlus 5T.

Xiaomi Launches New Noise Canceling Earphones, Power Bank And VR Headset In India

Xiaomi has launched three new products in India. A new 10000 mAh power bank, Mi VR Play 2 and Mi Noise Cancelling Earphones (Type-C) and will be available via mi.com.

The Mi VR Play 2 is priced at Rs 1299 and at first glance its hard to tell if you’re looking at the Mi VR Play 2 or the Google Daydream. Apart from a new design, the Mi VR Play 2 is also lighter than its predecessor. The exterior has been covered with soft fabric, which the company claims provides greater comfort.

The Mi Noise Canceling Earphones (Type-C) are only compatible with the Mi 5 and Mi Mix 2 smartphones. The earphones feature active noise cancellation between 50 – 2000Hz, enough to cut out ambient noise above 25dB. Xiaomi uses MEMS microphones in each earpiece to detect ambient noise and counterbalance it by using opposing frequencies. The earphones are acoustically tuned by Grammy award-winning tuner Luca Bignardi. The Mi Noise Cancelling Earphones are Hi-Res Audio certified, and use patented hybrid dual dynamic and balanced armature drivers to deliver a balanced sound. The earphones are priced at Rs 2999.

The next upgraded product is the Mi Power Bank Pro with a 10000 mAh capacity. It supports two-way fast charging, taking just 3.5 hours to be fully charged. If you own a smartphone that supports quick charging, you can expect your phone to be charged in under 2 hours. A Type-C adapter comes bundled with the power bank and because of it, the Mi Power Bank Pro can be used to charge smartphones, tablets, notebooks, and other mobile devices. The Mi Power Bank Pro is priced at Rs 1599 and is 42% thinner than its predecessor.

Moto X4 Price In India Leaked

Lenovo-owned Motorola is set to launch the much awaited Moto X4 in India on the 13th of November in India. So far, we only know the global price of the smartphone and it is speculated that the device will be launched in the 20-25K price bracket. A user on Twitter tweeted to Motorola with a picture of what looks like the retail package of the Motorola X4 with the price mentioned as Rs 23999.

https://twitter.com/ZhaoyuJohnny/status/922394440056020992

The Moto X4 has a 5.2 inch 1920 x 1080 px IPS LCD display with Corning Gorilla Glass on top for protection. The smartphone runs stock Android 7.1.1 Nougat and is powered by a 3,000 mAh battery with TurboCharge capabilities. Motorola recently announced that the Moto X4 will receive an update to Android 8.0 Oreo by the end of the year. The company claims that the 15 mins of charge can give up to 6 hours of talk time. The Moto X4 has the Qualcomm Snapdragon 630, 2.2 GHz octa-core processor and Adreno 508 GPU, along with 3GB RAM and 32GB onboard storage which can be expanded up to 2TB via microSD card. The phone has an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance.

The new smartphone will also feature Alexa, the Amazon AI voice assistant. This isn’t the first time that Alexa has made its way onto a smartphone, the Huawei Mate 9 was the first smartphone to feature the voice assistant. Since then, we have also seen Alexa make its way to the HTC U11.The 4 in Moto X4 signifies that the new smartphone will be able to share the sound with up to 4 devices, thanks to the presence of Bluetooth 5.0.

The Moto X4 has a dual-camera setup at the back. The main camera is a 12MP sensor with an f/2.0 aperture, and the 8MP secondary camera with an f/2.2 aperture is equipped with a wide-angle lens. The dual-cameras allow users to have depth effect shots, bokeh effect shots, ultra-wide angle shots, and selective focus shots. On the front of the device is a 16MP camera with an f/2.0 aperture and an LED flash. The cameras record 4K videos at 30 FPS.

The official price of the Moto X4 will be unveiled when the phone is launched on the 13th of November but, this looks like a legitimate image of the retail package.

Sony A7R III Mirrorless Camera Launched

Sony has launched a new mirrorless camera, the Sony A7R III at an event in China.

The Sony A7R III is based around the same 42.2MP full-frame image sensor as in the earlier A7R II. What’s different is that the A7R III is paired with a reworked imaging pipeline that should allow for a 15-stop dynamic range at lower sensitivities. Sony claims that is the “highest picture quality of any camera we’ve ever made.” Despite its high megapixel count, the A7R III is fast with a continuous shooting speed of up to 10fps with full AF/AE tracking which this is twice as fast as the 5fps on the A7R II. The new A7R III also features new technologies like a gapless on-chip lens design and anti-reflective sensor coating to achieve better low-light performance and wider dynamic range. The A7R III features an ISO range of 100-32000 which is expandable to 50-102,400. The camera also has a 5-axis optical image stabiliser that provides 5.5 stops of compensation.

The new A7R III has a new feature called the Pixel Shift Multi Shooting Mode. When activated, the camera captures 4 separate photos shifted by 1 pixel each to capture 169.2 megapixels of data. These are then composited in Sony’s new Imaging Edge software to create a single photo to achieve a higher resolution and colour accuracy. On the back of the camera is an 3-inch OLED viewfinder with 3.186 million dots.

The A7R III captures 4K footage using the full width of the sensor, and packs the Super 35 oversampling mode. Like the Sony A9, you can also shoot at 120fps at full HD, but the A7R III also adds S-Log 3 and support for the hybrid log gamma HDR standard.

The Sony A7R III will be availble in November at a starting price of US $3200.

Samsung Spain Hands Out 200 Galaxy Note8 Devices To Passengers In A Flight

All seems to be very well at the Samsung Mobile HQ’s after a very successful 2017. Samsung started the year with the highly successful Galaxy S8 smartphones and resurrected the Note series with the Galaxy Note8 which received record pre-orders in the US and South Korean market. 2017 succeeded the debacle of the global recalling of the Galaxy Note 7 due to serious battery issues. To overcome that psychological block and show how far Samsung’s new Note device has come, Samsung Spain decided to give away 200 Galaxy Note8 devices to unsuspecting passengers of a flight going from Madrid to A Coruna.

In the video, you can see passengers baffled in the beginning, but, when they realised that they are actually getting a US $1000 phone for free, that confusion quickly changed to joy. The boxes were accompanied by a written message in Spanish. It translated to: “A year ago we asked you to turn it off, we welcome you today on board.” This was in reference to the Galaxy Note7 and its highly publicised battery issue. Due to such an extraordinary security concern from a phone, almost everywhere in the world airlines first banned the phone from the check-in baggage and then later banned it altogether.

The global recall of the Galaxy Note7 was a huge blow to Samsung, not just from a financial point of view but, also the company’s image. All was redeemed with the Galaxy Note8 when it was launched in August in 2017 and received rave reviews from critics and consumers alike. This gesture from Samsung goes a long way in proving that no matter how successful its new phones will be, the company will do anything to get over the disaster that was the Galaxy Note7.

HTC Teases U11 Plus On Twitter

HTC has been in the news for the better part of 2017 despite not having the best of financial years. Even though the HTC U11 was highly praised for its camera and overall performance, the company still managed to rake in the lowest profit in the past few years. Now, it looks like HTC is going to take another swing at the smartphone market with what looks like a flagship phone. For weeks, the mid-ranger HTC U11 Life and flagship phone U11 Plus have been leaked in certification and benchmark websites. Taking to Twitter, HTC has teased a phone launch on the 2nd of November and it might be the flagship phone U11 Plus that we get to see.

You’ll see it all on 11.02.2017. pic.twitter.com/vzYtKVdjK5

— HTC (@htc) October 24, 2017

In the teaser above, you can see a single camera setup and a rear mounted fingerprint sensor. The HTC U11 had a fingerprint sensor housed inside in the home button, this was possible because of the thick bezels around the display. Changing the position of the fingerpint sensor to the back might indicate that the upcoming device could have thin bezels and hence, the fingerprint sensor is placed at the back of the phone. It is worth noting however, that the last time HTC used a rear mounted fingerprint sensor was in 2013′ One Max, and that phone had bezels.

HTC U11 Plus

All of this however, is speculation and HTC might just end up launching the HTC U11 Life. Reports suggested that both the HTC U11 Life and Plus variant will be launched and it might be the case as HTC would rather flaunt the flagship phone in a teaser than both the phones.

https://twitter.com/evleaks/status/921835321167368192

There isn’t much known about the U11 Plus yet. The device is expected have a 5.99-inch 2880 x 1440 px display translating to an 18:9 aspect ratio. The phone will have minimal bezels and a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor. Like the HTC U11, the Plus variant of the phone will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chipset. The HTC U11 Plus is expected to come in two variants – one with 4GBR RAM/64GB storage and second variant which will be a top end version will come with 6GB RAM and 128GB of internal storage.

The smartphone is expected to have a 12MP rear-mounted camera. On the front, the U11 Plus is expected to have an 8MP sensor. HTC will not jump the dual-camera bandwagon just yet and continue with a single camera at the back just like the U11 (as is visible in the teaser). The U11 Plus is also expected to be IP68 certified water and dust resistant. It is also said to support Qualcomm QuickCharge 3.0 and also include the HTC U11 Active Edge feature.

The phone(s) will be launched on the 2nd of November where its global availability and price will be officially revealed.

Google Home With Touchscreen Display Spotted In The Official Google App

Google has been battling with Amazon in the smart speaker space since launching the Google Home. Google Home was the only smart speaker made by Google until 4th of October when it launched a new variant of the smart speaker, the Google Home Mini. It is speculated that the Google Home Mini was launched to compete with the inexpensive Amazon Echo Dot and had the same price as well (US $49). Amazon recently launched the Echo Show, which is a smart speaker with a touchscreen display and it appears that Google is working on a touchscreen smart speaker as well, as found by Android Police.

Amazon Echo Show

This seems to corroborate with a report from TechCrunch in September which suggested that Google was working on a table top smart screen device codenamed ‘Manhattan’ which would compete with the Amazon Echo Show. A deep study into the the APK of 7.14.15 beta version of the Google app found references to multiple on-display features such as notifications, YouTube video playback, photo galleries, Google Maps with business listings and more. The code throughout the app references “Quartz” that operates using voice commands.

The reference to Quartz can be found in many strings

<activity android:name=”com.google.android.apps.gsa.monet.quartz.QuartzMonetActivity” android:exported=”false” android:process=”:search” android:taskAffinity=”” android:theme=”@style/Quartz.TransparentNavBar” />

The reference of Quartz suggests that Google intends it for kitchen use as the study of the app points to a screen that can be used to display recipes and timers. The weather function referenced in Quartz offers 32 different dedicated icons showing everything from a sunny day to blizzards and hurricanes.

The new smart speaker will display cooking recipes

Google has an array of smart home devices ranging from smart speakers to wireless streaming devices like the ChromeCast. Coming up with a touchscreen smart speaker to compete with the Echo Show makes sense for Google and make full use of its AI and software integration. Also, the “Quartz” will play YouTube videos, unlike the Echo Show.

Google Pixel 2 Display Black Smearing And Speaker Volume Issues Reported

Even before going on sale in most of the countries, the Google Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL have been embroiled in hardware-related internet backlash. New issues have been reported concerning the speakers as well. To bring you up to speed with all the issues regarding the Pixel 2 phones, some tech critics found potential screen burn-in on the Pixel 2 XL. Google has since responded to these reports and said that it is actively investigating the issue. The screen burn-in reports followed previous complaints regarding the display that the colours were dull and that it may show some distortion in certain low-light situations.

Report suggests that certain Google Pixel 2 users are experiencing strange noises on their handset, while another screen-related problem has surfaced. There are multiple complaints online about the high-pitched noises and clicking from the Pixel 2 when it’s next to a person’s ear. This issue however, has appeared on Google forums which means the company is aware of the problem. Also, the issue seems to be mostly affecting the HTC-made standard Pixel 2 rather than the Pixel 2 XL. Apparently, switching off NFC helps with the clicking noise but the high pitched sound persists. It has been noted by a Google staff member that the speaker issue will be fixed in an upcoming software patch.

Another problem regarding the under-fire display is that of black smearing. This issue has been well documented on OLED panels and it looks like the Pixel 2 XL is the next device to face this issue. Now, an average consumer might not notice this but, in a statement in response to growing complaints against the display of the Pixel 2 XL, Google said:

We take all reports of issues very seriously, and our engineers investigate quickly. We will provide updates as soon as we have conclusive data.

Back smearing occurs when the screen transitions from black pixels to coloured pixels. The effect is that the black parts of the on-screen images tend to stay on for a longer period before changing to the coloured parts, making it appear as if the black area has been smeared. This was showcased in a tweet as well. If you look closely, you’ll notice a big blue blob around the black phone while scrolling.

https://twitter.com/hallstephenj/status/922666081822617600

The issues around the new Pixel 2 smartphones have been increasingly rapidly and the company must do something quickly to tackle all the bad press. The Google Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL will be available for pre-orders in India from the 27th of October.

OnePlus 5T Leaked In Another Image, Shows New Design

OnePlus 5T rumours are picking up its pace and the latest one sheds more light on what we can expect from this device. The latest leaked image comes from a ‘trusted Android Authority source’ and looks like a promotional image of the upcoming OnePlus 5T.

Since it might be a promotional image, the phone isn’t visible in its entirety. The key elements of the design however, can be figured out from the image. As is visible in the image, the bezels are much thinner than the OnePlus 5. The aluminium frame and a bottom-firing speaker on the left side is also visible. That’s not too surprising, as the 5T will most likely feature a similar chassis to that of the OnePlus 5. We cannot confirm whether the 3.5mm headphone jack will retain its place in the ‘T’ variant of the OnePlus 5. The fingerprint sensor will also either be moved to the back of the device or will be housed inside the lock/unlock button (similar to what Sony does). As we reported earlier, another leaked image of the OnePlus 5T had the fingerprint sensor placed at the back of the phone just above the company logo.

Just like the OnePlus 3T, the OnePlus 5T is expected to be an incremental update rather than a drastic new upgrade in terms of hardware. The 5T is expected to have the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chipset as it is the current flagship chipset. The dual cameras at the back are also expected to be the same as found on the OnePlus 5.

The OnePlus 5T is expected to be launched some time in November, similar to when the OnePlus 3T was launched. As is with every leak or rumour, we advice you to take this leaked image with a pinch of scepticism until there is a concrete statement from the company about its plans of launching the OnePlus 5T.

Another feature that the smartphone boasts is called OZO Audio in which the smartphone’s three microphones and Nokia’s acoustic algorithms allow you to capture 360-degree spatial surround sound.

Apple iPhone X Pre Orders Begin On 27th October – Here’s What You Need To Know

Apple launched the highly anticipated iPhone X on the 12th of September along with the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus. Tim Cook took to stage to announce that the new marquee smartphone will have very thin bezels and now home button. The navigation inside the phone will be controlled by gestures and there will be no TouchID. Considering the tedious process of manufacturing and new technologies used by Apple, it was reported that the iPhone X will made made in limited numbers in 2017 and full-fledged manufacturing will start in 2018.

The iPhone X is hands down the most anticipated iPhone ion the recent past and is dubbed as the “true successor” of the original iPhone which was launched in 2007. The design language is completely different from what we’ve become accustomed to seeing with an iPhone. The new facial recognition technology is apparently more convenient and safer than TouchID while the bezel-less display with a notch at the top has been well-received. The iPhone X will detect your face even in the dark by mapping your face. Apple claims the chances of someone else unlocking your iPhone through FaceID is one in a million. FaceID will work with Apple Pay and third party apps that supported TouchID. Another feature is called Animojis wherein you can create emojis controlled by your face and share it on iMessage.

The iPhone X has a 5.8-inch 2436 x 1125 px OLED True Tone Super Retina display with minimal bezels around it. The phone runs iOS 11 and is powered by a 3,000 mAh battery which charges through the Apple signature lightning port placed at the bottom of the phone. Because of the all-glass design, the iPhone X also has wireless charging like the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus. Under the hood, the smartphone has the Apple A11 Bionic chipset with a neural engine, a hexacore processor, 3GB of RAM and storage options of 64GB, and 256GB. As is with every iPhone, the onboard storage can not be expanded via a microSD card. The small bezels mean there is no physical home button, which is now replaced with gestures for navigation. Siri is activated by pressing the now larger lock/unlock button. The iPhone X is also IP67 certified for water and dust resistance, and wireless charging.

The iPhone X has vertically placed dual 12-megapixel rear cameras, and it’s equipped with dual optical image stabilisation. The sensors are both larger and faster, according to Apple, and the main camera is equipped with a wide angle lens and has an f/1.8 aperture while the secondary telephoto lens has an f/2.4 aperture. In between the two cameras is a quad-LED True Tone flash. Both the front and back cameras have the portrait mode. On the front is a 7MP camera with an f/2.2 aperture. Both the rear cameras and the front camera have the portrait lighting feature, just like the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus.

The iPhone X is priced at US$999 for the 64GB variant in the US, GBP 999 in the UK and Rs 89000 in India for the 64GB variant. Pre-orders for the smartphone begin on the 27th of October and the device will go on sale on the 3rd of November.
