  • Moto Z 2018 And Moto Z Kingsman Edition Launched

    Moto Z 2018 And Moto Z Kingsman Edition Launched

    Motorola has launched two premium priced phones, the Moto Z 2018 and a special Kingsman edition Moto Z in China. The special edition Moto Z Kingsman is priced at a whopping CNY 999 (US $1500). The Moto X 2018 and Moto X Kingsman are really just the Moto Z2 Force with a different name. Except for the price of the Kingsman edition and a few extra accessories in the box, nothing is different.

    The Moto Z 2018 and the Moto Z Kingsman have the same specifications. Both the phones have a 5.5 inch ShatterShield display with a 2560 x 1440 px resolution. Powering the device is a 2730 mAh battery and runs a stock version of Android 7.1 Nougat. Under the hood, the smartphone has the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chipset, Octa-core (4×2.35 GHz Kryo & 4×1.9 GHz Kryo) processor, 4GB RAM, and 64GB onboard storage which is expandable up to 256GB via microSD card. The fingerprint sensor is housed inside the home button which is placed below the display.

    The Moto Z 2018 Kingsman Edition has a few extra accessories in the box. The special package contains a VIP card, a TurboPower battery mod, a wireless charging mod, a USB Type-C to 3.5mm adapter, a leather flip case, a 45th anniversary notepad, a pair of USB Type-C Hi-Fi headphones, and (surprise!) a warranty card. The special edition smartphone is only going to be offered in black.

    Both variants of the Moto Z 2018 have a dual camera setup with dual 12MP sensors with an f/2.0 aperture. One camera shoots in monochrome, and the other shoots in colour, similar to what we saw on Huawei devices and recent Nubia M2. The smartphones also have laser AF, phase detection but no mention of optical image stabilisation. Similar to Apple’s portrait mode, the dual-lends setup has allowed Moto to implement a depth-of-field effect on the Moto Z 2018.

    The phones have entered the Chinese market but, it still seems highly improbable that the flagship Moto Z2 Force or the Moto Z 2018 will hit the Indian market as the company shied away from launching the Force variant in Indian in 2016.

  • Xiaomi Mi Note 3 To Be Launched On 2nd November

    Xiaomi Mi Note 3 To Be Launched On 2nd November

    Xiaomi has enjoyed a successful festive period in India and managed to sell over 4 million handsets. Now, Xiaomi is gearing up to launch a new selfie camera centric smartphone in India on the 2nd of November at an event in Delhi.

    The above image reveals that Xiaomi is planning to launch a new series of smartphones in India which will presumably focus on the selfie camera. The phone in question here could be the Xiaomi Ni Note 3 which was launched in China on the 11th of September and features a portrait mode for the front camera.

    The Xiaomi Mi Note 3 has a 5.5 inch 1920 x 1080 px IPS LCD display with a pixel density of 403ppi and a 94.4 percent NTSC colour gamut. The smartphone is powered by a 3,500 mAh battery with QuickCharge 3.0 through USB TYpe C port and runs Android 7.1.1 Nougat with Xiaomi’s custom MIUI 9 on top. Xiaomi has boasted about the phone’s ‘Adaptable AI Beautify’ feature, which the Chinese smartphone maker claims is a result of over half a year’s R&D. The feature uses AI-based algorithms to beautify selfies and has a different algorithm for men and women. Under the hood, the Xiaomi Mi Note 3 has the Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 chipset, 6GB RAM, and 64GB or 128GB onboard storage options. The onboard storage can not be expanded. The fingerprint sensor is placed under the glass at the front device, just below the display.

    Unlike the Mi Mix 2, the Mi Note 3 features a dual-camera setup at the back. One of the cameras has a 12MP wide angle lens with an f/1.8 aperture while the other 12MP camera has a telephoto lens with an f/2.6 apertureThe primary 12MP camera has a wide angle lens and an f/1.8 aperture. On the front is a 16MP camera with AI capabilities to produce selfies personalised to the user’s face after studying the bone structure and lighting around the face.

    The price is yet to be revealed and considering Xiaomi’s competitive pricing strategies so far, the Mi Note 3 could be priced between Rs 24000 to Rs 26000.

     

  • OPPO R11S Renders Are Uncannily Similar To The OnePlus 5T

    OPPO R11S Renders Are Uncannily Similar To The OnePlus 5T

    OPPO has announced that the new OPPO R11S will be launched on the 2nd of November at an event in China. Even before the announcement was made, there were several renders leaked which revealed a design shift from the OPPO R11 launched earlier in 2017. What’s interesting though, is that the new press renders resemble another speculated device, the OnePlus 5T.

    In the images above, you can see what the OPPO R11S might look like from all the angles. You can’t help but notice the similarities between the R11S and the OnePlus 5T here with the aspect ratio, screen size, and camera and fingerprint placement.

    This however, should not come as a surprise as the OnePlus 5 looked identical to the OPPO R11 with the same dimensions, camera placement and finish of the phone. It is worth noting that OPPO is the parent organisation of OnePlus.

    The launch of the OPPO R11S could signal a trickle down effect and the OnePlus 5T with a much awaited 18:9 aspect ratio and thin bezels could see the light of day in the coming weeks. The OPPO R11S is expected to have a 6-inch display with an 18:9 aspect ratio and 2160 x 1080 px resolution. Under the hood, the smartphone is expected to have the Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 chipset, 4GB RAM and 63GB onboard storage. The OnePlus 5T is expected to have the same hardware as the OnePlus 5 and also the same camera specifications.

    The OnePlus 5T is expected to be launched on the 20th of November while the R11S is confirmed for a 2nd of November launch.

  • OnePlus 5T Launch Set For 20th November

    OnePlus 5T Launch Set For 20th November

    Another day, another OnePlus 5T rumour. The speculated ‘T’ iteration of the successful OnePlus 5 has been in the news for various leaks and renders. Now, it appears that the OnePlus 5T might be launched somewhere between the 11th of November and 20th of November and will indeed have a display with an 18:9 aspect ratio.

    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 will have a 6 inch AMOLED display with a 2160 x 1080 x resolution which translates to an 18:9 aspect ratio.

    The smartphone is expected to run Android 7.1.1 Nougat with OnePlus’ Oxygen OS on top. The 2017 flagship will have the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chipset with a combination of either 6GB RAM and 64GB of storage or a whopping 8GB RAM and 128 of storage which can not be expanded. The OnePlus 5T is also expected feature dual cameras on the back, one of the main cameras is a 20 MP sensor with an f/2.6 aperture, while the other is a 16 MP camera with an aperture of F/1.7 . The secondary telephoto lens is used for 2X lossless optical zoom and a ‘portrait mode’ for blurred background images.

    Co-founder of OnePlus, Carl Pei recently held a poll on Twitter:

    https://twitter.com/getpeid/status/915818321471311872

    The overwhelming response in favour of the headphone jack should at least guarantee that the OnePlus 5T if launched, will have the beloved 3.5mm headphone jack.

    There have been some hints which can be interpreted into a new phone launch. OnePlus has the habit of stopping the production of its current device to accommodate the launch and manage the supple of its upciming smartphone. Keeping that in mind, it has been noted that the OnePlus 5 has been out of stock in a lot of markets for over a month now and there is no word from the company about its availability.

    If the launch date turns out to be true, OnePlus might be sending out press invites soon and that should definitely shed more light on whether the OnePlus 5T is true or just a hoax like the Ultra Pixel.

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

    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.

  • Moto X4 Price In India Leaked

    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.

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

    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 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.

    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.

    Sony Xperia XZ1

    Sony Xperia XZ1 was launched in India on the 25th of September at a price of Rs 44990. The highlights of the phone are that the phone runs Android 8.0 Oreo out of the box and the 3D scanning camera. Sony has claimed that the Xperia XZ1 is the first smartphone featuring real-time 3D capture.

  • OnePlus 5

    OnePlus 5

    Launched in June 2017, the OnePlus 5 was the first smartphone from OnePlus to feature a dual-camera setup at the back. Upon its release, OnePlus faced a lot of comparisons with the iPhone 7 Plus due to extremely similar design and the dual-camera implementation. Since its launch, OnePlus has also a limited edition OnePlus 5 in association with French artist Castelbajac.

  • Google Pixel 2 Display Black Smearing And Speaker Volume Issues Reported

    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 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.

However, the Moto X4 is expected to be priced in the same price bracket of Rs 22000-Rs 25000.

    The Nokia 7 has a 5.2 inch IPS LCD display with a 1920 x 1080 px resolution and Corning Gorilla Glass 3 on top for protection. Powering the smartphone is a 3000 mAh battery and it runs Android 7.1 Nougat out of the box.

Unlike the Nokia 8, and all previous Nokia Android phones, there is no physical home button on the front of the device. The fingerprint sensor is placed at the back of the phone just below the camera.

    The Nokia 7, unlike the Nokia 8 has a single camera at the back. The Nokia 7 has a 16MP camera at the back with an f/1.8 aperture, 1.12-micron pixel size and Carl Zeiss optics. The primary camera records 3840 x 2160 px (4K) videos at 30fps. On the front of the device is a 5MP camera with an f/2.0 aperture and autofocus.

    Similar to the Nokia 8, the Nokia 7 also comes with all the bells and whistles. One such feature is “Bothie.” It allows you to use the front and rear camera at the same time in a split screen view. 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. You can also share 4K videos with OZO audio with anyone – binaural codecs ensure high fidelity playback even on devices without OZO Audio.

    HMD Global might launch the Nokia 7 in India with a price tag similar to its China variant. However, there is no official word from the company as of yet. The price and availability of the phone will be officially announced on 31st of October during the launch event.

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

    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.
