    A Weibo post shared by the company’s product director states it will soon launch a new Black Shark gaming smartphone which will be packed with new features. Unfortunately, the post does not reveal any specifications of the smartphone. However, it is expected to have the following features.

    Black Shark 2.0 Expected Features
    • Snapdragon 855- The Snapdragon 855 is the latest and greatest SoC that Qualcomm currently offers. The chipset consists of an Octa-Core CPU along with the Adreno 640 GPU and is manufactured using 7 nm fabrication technology.

    • Liquid Cooling- The praiseworthy Razer Phone 2 which is a competitor to Black Shark smartphones has a wide vapour cooling chamber. Thus, the upcoming Black Shark smartphone might also have a similar cooling chamber. 
    • Edge-To-Edge Display- Both Black Shark smartphones launched last year have thick top and bottom bezels. And the company would also want to improve the looks of the future device, there it is expected to have minimal bezels and an edge-to-edge display. 
    • 10 GB RAM- The Black Shark Helo smartphone launched late last year is available in 10 GB of RAM. Therefore, its successor is assumed to have the same or higher RAM storage.

    The Portless Meizu Zero Is Available For Pre-Order At $1299

    The year 2019 has just begun, and we already have some crazy technology promised. Foldable and 5G phones are almost here. Vivo and Meizu showed off their crazy port-less, hole-less phones last month. The phones show us a glimpse of what the future may hold. And now you don’t have to wait for a long time to get your hands on one. Meizu Zero is available on crowd funding site Indiegogo for pre-orders. The price that the Meizu Zero is set at $1299 a pop. That the price you need to pay for the removal of ports and buttons. 

    Meizu Zero Specifications

    The Meizu Zero is the first phone in the world with no buttons, ports or holes in the chassis. The phone is just a slab of metal throughout. For the price, the phone features a 5.99 inches AMOLED screen with minimal bezels. Meizu Zero has a Snapdragon 845 inside. The RAM size isn’t known but estimates suggest that there may be 8GB of RAM inside the phone. The phone runs on Meizu’s Flyme 7 atop Android Pie. The phone has a dual camera setup at the back of 12+20MP. There is a 20MP sensor on the front.

    The phone relies on new technologies like eSIM, fast wireless charging to replace the ports and holes required for the traditional solutions. The phone’s current backing price is $1299 on Indiegogo. Only 100 devices are being made available out of which 20 are already claimed. Expected shipping is April 2019, that is if they meet their goal. The set goal is $1,00,000 out of which around $29,000 have been raised.

    The phone is an interesting proposition but at the price of $1299, which is around Rs. 93,000 in India. The phone seems a little too expensive for the price. The phone seems even more expensive when you consider that it has dated internals and is from a relatively unknown manufacturer.

     This seems interesting as a big Smartphone maker is interested in this trend. The smartphone is set to launch later this year.

    Pop-Up Selfie Cameras In Smartphones

    Top 10 Features

     Pop up selfie cameras are a year old concept at this point. First shown off by Vivo at CES 2018, the first smartphone was the Vivo Apex concept smartphone. The first commercial smartphone to feature a mechanical pop-up selfie camera was the Vivo NEX S. Oppo one-upped Vivo by launching a mechanical slider to hide both the cameras. Not many smartphone makers since have toyed with the idea but many are soon expected to launch smartphones with the feature. 

    Samsung launching a pop up selfie camera smartphone may be a big deal for the industry. A big smartphone maker jumping into the trend could see more mainstream phones with the feature.
