The post ends with the silhouette of a smartphone and the date of the launch. This could mean that we will see the launch of just the Nokia 7.1 Plus tomorrow. However, a surprise from Nokia could also be on the way in the form of the Nokia 9. HMD Global had recently acquired the PureView trademark and it is rumoured that it will be using it in the upcoming Nokia 9 flagship. This adds strength to the rumours that the Nokia 9 has a penta camera setup.

Nokia 7.1 Plus:

The Nokia 7.1 Plus has been subject to many leaks before its launch, with the latest taking place today. According to the alleged renders, the device has a notch on its display and a dual camera setup along with a fingerprint reader on the back. The Nokia 7.1 Plus is reported to have a 5.84 inch IPS LCD display with a 19:9 aspect ratio and 2244 x 1080 px resolution display. It runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 SoC with 3 GB and 4 GB RAM options. It will have microSD card support with 32 GB and 64 GB memory options.

The device is said to have a 12 MP + 5 MP rear camera setup and a 8 MP front camera. Along with this, a report claims that the price of the upcoming device has been leaked and that it will start at around Rs 29,000 in India.

Nokia 9 PureView:

Although we might not see this smartphone being launched tomorrow, we are adding it as a bonus. The device has picked up a lot fo attention due to its unique penta camera setup. While the design isn’t appealing to many, the functionality of the 5 cameras could be something to look out for. The design is already patented by Zeiss, which adds strength to the rumours. Also, recent reports stating that the Nokia 9 will carry the PureView trademark push the odds in favour of such a device. The PureView trademark is only carried by devices which have a groundbreaking camera setup. Therefore, a lot can be expected form the Nokia 9.

Apple iPhone XS, XS Max Have A Charging Issue, Other iOS 12 Devices May Be Affected

The new Apple iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max are now facing charging issues. Hundreds of users have said that the devices do not respond to a charger being plugged in. The issue could be to do with the iOS 12 update as some older iPhone and iPad variants have also reported the same.

The Issue:

Users on Apple’s forum, reddit and also a YouTuber have been talking about this issue. The devices, mainly iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max variants, are not showing the ‘charging’ notification when they are plugged in. This doesn’t happen if you pick up the phone or wake the screen. This means that the device is only recognising the power source when there is user interaction. In some cases, the devices are also reportedly freezing, and not responding to screen taps or the power button as well. The users are using Apple’s very own lightning cables and not a third party adapter or wire. A video on YouTube has tested multiple devices, displaying that this problem is pretty widespread.

This led to multiple users believing it to be a hardware issue with the new iPhones or a problem with the charging port present on the devices. However, AppleInsider tested an iPhone 7 and a 12.9 inch first-ten iPad Pro to have the same issue as well. This has led to thoughts that the issue is not with the devices but the iOS 12 update.

Some reports are also saying that the issue may be related to the USB restricted mode on the devices. This is a feature from Apple to help secure data on your phone against anyone trying to download your information without unlocking your device. However, users said that the device would start charging with a slight touch or tap and without unlocking the devices on most instances. Hence, it is unlikely that this is due to a security feature.

Chargegate:

As of now, there has been no official response from Apple as to what is causing these devices to function in this way. Users have already started referring to it as ‘chargegate’ and are a bit irked by the issue.

Benchmark scores are a very important aspect in a smartphone. A lot of the buyers consider these scores as standard before purchasing the device. So, Companies use these benchmark apps just to get maximum attention. Tech2, in an independent research found smartphone companies such as Huawei and Oppo manipulating these scores. The research also found that some companies are cheating upto 90% in terms of results.

- Samsung Galaxy Note 9
- Realme 2
- Realme 1

- OnePlus 6
- Redmi Note 5 Pro

- Oppo Find X
For the test, they used white-label apps for testing these devices. These are private versions of the top benchmark apps but and are not available on the play store. These apps have the same core-funcitonality but have different names.Hence, due to the different app name these smartphones are not able to detect which benchmark app is running. Some devices come pre-programmed to throttle performance while the top benchmark apps are running.

Top devices caught cheating the 3DMark Slingshot Extreme test are: Huawei takes the top spot by a huge margin. Their Honor 10 cheats the benchmark test upto 90%. Huawei P20 Pro also has cheating score of 75 %. Oppo is also found guilty with its Oppo Find X and smartphones from its sub-brand Realme 1 and Realme 2. These devices have a fake bemchmark claim of approximately 36%,45% and 60% respectively.

Overall, it looks the Chinese smartphone manufacturers are trying to trick the potential audience into buying their products using such tactics. These tactics even seem to work in upcoming markets like India and China where consumers dont have much in-depth information about technology.

The New Apple iPhone Has A Feature Indians Will Love!

The new Apple iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max have a feature that the company seems to have overlooked at the launch. This is the new dual SIM capability on the iPhone XS. The dual SIM support isn’t something new, but the way Apple has implemented the feature is impressive.

A New Type Of Dual SIM:

If you refer to our unboxing video which is linked below, you know that the devices use the eSIM technology. This means that the iPhone XS and XS Max do not use two physical SIMs (except in China). Instead, there is one physical SIM and one digital SIM which is known as eSIM. The eSIM technology isn’t new as Apple had introduced it in the Apple Watch 3 which was introduced earlier this year.

This gives you the ability to register any amount of mobile numbers onto your device. Doing away with the hassle of carrying around multiple SIM cards or mobile phones. How this works is that at any given time, only 2 connections will be active on your device. One is the physical SIM and the other is the eSIM of your choice. Whenever you want to change over to any other connection, you can just simply change the settings and voila! You’re on a new network.

This feature is immensely useful for people who need to use more than two numbers and those who travel a lot. The eSIM feature can be used while travelling overseas too. You can just switch to your preferred provider when you arrive at your destination. Another big advantage is in terms of network connectivity. We all encounter scenarios where even two mobile networks do not give us enough coverage everywhere we go. At such a point, you can just switch to your third or even fourth network using the new iPhone which might solve your problems.

Currently, Airtel, Jio and Vodafone offer eSIM support in India. Tell us what you think about this handy feature in the new iPhones, and be sure to check out our detailed unboxing and hands on video below:
