With all the reports about declining sales and lower demand for iPhones, there seems to be more to iPhone sales than meets the eye. Reports of lower than expected iPhone XS and XS Max sales are plaguing Apple. And even the cheaper iPhone XR not selling like expected. But there is another shift which could turn out to be far more important in the long run. A recent report by Consumer Intelligence Research Partners found that more Android users are switching to iPhones this year, than last year.
The report states that 16 percent of iPhone buyers this year, had upgraded from an Android phone. This data was collected in a 30-day period after the launch fo the iPhone XR. Compare this to last year. When the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus were launched, and you have a 12 percent rate. After the launch of the iPhone X in November 2017, the numbers fell to 11 percent. The report also found out that the iPhone XR accounted for 32 percent of iPhone sales. This was in the same 30-day period after its launch.
So in midst of all the backlash and love that the iPhone XR received, it seems like it has achieved what Apple had intended for it to do, boost sales and attract newer customers. More than a third of iPhone buyers in the US opted for the cheaper iPhone XR, according to the study. On the other end of the spectrum, the iPhone XS and XS Max accounted for 35 percent of sales, combined.
Despite the fact that Apple brought back the iPhone X from the dead to combat dwindling iPhone XS sales, not all is lost. With more Android users switching to iPhones, this might be the start of something new for Apple.

Apple is the preferred choice for many consumers since privacy is something the company boasts of in their ecosystem. But Apple also abides by the rules and regulations of the respective countries it sells its phones to and according to their latest transparency report, they seem to be providing user’s data to the government. Transparency reports are reports that are published in regular intervals by tech giants such as Facebook and Twitter. These are available for customers to see and includes data such as Government requests, Account Restriction / Account Deletion and Account Preservation.
It must be noted that the government does not ask for every Apple user’s data and these requests go through a rigorous screening process. These include the government asking for information on a particular user through subpoenas, court orders, warrants etc. According to Apple, government and private entities are required to follow applicable laws and statutes when requesting customer information and data from Apple. The reports from January – June 2018 suggest that the total Device requests in that time period were 27. Out of that, 17 requests were granted by Apple which is a 63% request approval. Device requests include information of a particular device that a particular person is using such as IMEI or Serial Numbers.
Financial Identifier Requests
Requests on financial identifiers from the Indian government amounted to 34 in total. Out of that Apple granted information on 29 which is an 85% request approval. Financial Identifiers are requests received from a government agency seeking customer data such as credit card or gift card. This is in light of the iTunes gift card fraud that has been prevalent for a while now. Requests for Account details such as Apple ID and emails were also made by the Indian Government. These amounted to a total of 18 in the half-yearly period. Apple gave information on 14 of those requests.
Apart from these, 3 emergency requests were also made by the government and Apple followed through on all of them. These requests are made when the government requires user’s data on an emergency matter. There were no Account restriction or deletion requests made in the 6 month time period by the government.
The OnePlus 5 and OnePlus 5T were launched in 2017. Since their release, the OnePlus 6 and OnePLus 6T have also been launched. But this doesn’t mean that the company leaves them behind when it comes to software updates. OnePlus has started rolling out the Oxygen OS update to bring Android 9 Pie to these devices. Android 9 Pie is the latest version of the popular OS and was already present on the OnePlus 6 and OnePlus 6T.
The update was due, as OnePlus had released an Open Beta program for the same, a couple of weeks back. This would have ensured that any last minute bugs on the new update were brought to notice and immediately rectified. Now, the company is rolling out the Oxygen OS 9.0.0 update. The changes brought with the update are as follows.
The first major change is the Android 9 Pie Operating System. Along with this, users get a brand new UI, for Android Pie. OnePlus 5T users also get new navigation gestures, however, this won’t reach OnePlus 5 users. Users also get an updated Android Security patch for December 2018.
OnePlus has also added a new Gaming mode, the Gaming Mode 3.0 This involves additional text notification mode and added notification for third-party calls. THe OnePLus 5 and OnePlus 5T also get a new Do Not Disturb mode with advanced and adjustable settings. The camera on both the devices now get Google lens support as well.
While the company has released the software, users must keep in mind that the distribution will be slow and will take time to reach every device. As of now, the update will only come to a few devices and if everything goes well, the company will start the mass rollout of the update. OnePlus has also requested users to report any bugs or errors in the update in their feedback forum. The update is surely a great Christmas gift for OnePlus 5 and OnePlus 5T users!
ZTE is a Chinese company that manufactures smartphones and telecommunication equipment. The company has filed a patent for a smartphone with a foldable style display. The smartphone in the patent unfolds into a large screen tablet. The patent clearly explains how the folding hinge of the smartphone will operate.
The Patent
The ZTE device in the patent serves the functionality of both a smartphone and a tablet. The front of the ZTE device has a high-screen-to-body ratio display with thin bezels on the left and right side. However, the top and bottom bezels are quite prominent. The top bezel of the smartphone houses the earpiece speaker, front-facing camera and an additional hole which will most likely house the ambient light sensor. The top and bottom sides of the smartphone also have two lines for the antenna bands. The right side of the ZTE device houses the power button and the volume rockers
The rear of the ZTE device has dual rear cameras along with LED flash and a fingerprint sensor for securely unlocking the device. The bottom of the smartphone has a microphone pinhole, USB Type-C slot and bottom firing speakers. Additionally, the top of the device also has the speaker grille. The ZTE device has a curved hinge which seems to have circular magnetic strips. Most notably, the hinge on the device when unfolded lays completely flat on a surface. The device when unfolded transforms into a tablet which will allow the users to enjoy video content on a larger screen.
Launch Date
ZTE has not announced the launch date of this device. But, the sheer number of details suggest that the company is working on something serious. The company might showcase such a device at the upcoming MWC 2019 which is scheduled for 25-29 February.
HMD Global has almost made a comeback to the smartphone market with its extensive lineup of smartphones. The Nokia phones now cover every segment from budget phones to flagship phones. The company is not holding back in terms of design and features when it comes to their phones. A latest leak points at more of the same. An upcoming smartphone from Nokia, most probably a flagship phone has been leaked in images. The phone has a triple rear camera setup and what appears to be a bezel less and notch less display.
The images surfaced on Weibo, the Chinese social networking site and are what appear to be hands-on images of a Nokia smartphone. The phone sports a glass back with a vertically arranges triple rear camera and an LED flash right below that module. The back also houses the Nokia branding. While the triple rear camera is not very surprising in today’s day and age, it is a step up from the current Nokia design language which has only dual rear cameras.
However, the most interesting part of the leak is the front of the device. The display sports thick bezels on each side, including a really thick bottom chin. However, it lacks a notch or camera cutout of any sort and it is not clear as to where the front camera is located. It is therefore logical to assume that Nokia has also jumped on to the sliding camera bandwagon with this phone.
This means that a sliding panel beneath the display will house the front facing camera and the associated sensors. It could also point towards a pop up camera, which was seen on the Vivo Nex. Another striking feature is the lack of a physical fingerprint reader on the back. This hints at an in-display fingerprint sensor fitted into the phone.
However, the leak does not look totally convincing. For starters, the phone does not carry the Zeiss branding along with the camera setup. Being a flagship level phone, it is obvious that this Nokia should have Zeiss optics. Another issue is the odd design which has extremely thick bezels and and a massive chin. If the company has put in so much effort into this phone, it surely wouldn’t bring out such a dated design. But then again, that is what we thought about the high notch and the Pixel 3 XL and that turned out to be true!
Motorola will soon refresh the Moto G6 series of smartphones. Its successors are expected to launch in April 2019 as the current Moto G6 smartphones were also unveiled in the month of April. The upcoming series of smartphones will carry the Moto G7 moniker. The renders of the Moto G7 devices were previously leaked online (read here). The mid-range Moto G7 Power has been spotted on Geekbench which reveals its key specifications.
Geekbench Results
The Geekbench results of the Moto G7 Power were first uploaded on 20th December. The listing clearly mentions the model name ‘Moto G7 Power’. The smartphone registers a single-core score of 1286 points and a multi-core score of 5443 points. The Moto G7 Power features the msm8953 SoC which is the model number for Snapdragon 625. It is an Octa-Core SoC which is manufactured using the 14 nm FinFET technology.
The Snapdragon 625 consists of eight Cortex A53 cores which have a base frequency of 1.8 GHz and a turbo frequency of 2.0 GHz. According to Geekbench, the Moto G7 Power has 4 GB of LPDR3 RAM but the company might also launch a 6 GB variant of the device. The smartphone runs on latest Android 9.0 Pie operating sytem.
Moto G7 Power Design
The front of the Moto G7 has a high screen-to-body ratio display with a wide notch up top. The device has thin left and right bezels and a thick bottom chin which carries the Motorola branding. The notch at the top of the display houses the earpiece speaker and a front facing camera with an LED flash.
The rear of the Moto G7 seems to have a glass back which tapers towards the sides. The rear of the device houses the single rear camera setup and an indentation for the fingerprint sensor. The leaked renders of the Moto G7 Power are available in Blue colour but Moto will also launch the device in other colours.
Xiaomi’s secret weapon is the Poco phone F1. It released with a huge hype around the unbelievable price and amazing specifications. The phone features the top of the line Snapdragon 845 SoC at an amazing launch price of Rs. 20,999. This caused a lot of uproar because of the cheap price. The Poco F1 was previously launched with an armoured edition but it was only available in the pricier 8 GB RAM and 256 GB storage variant. This was however, out of the budget of many consumers. This is set to change now that Poco F1 Armoured Edition has been launched at a lower 6GB RAM and 128 GB storage configuration.
The Poco F1 featured a MIUI 9.6 based on Android 8.1 Oreo out of the box but has recently started receiving Android 9.0 Pie on top of MIUI 10. The phone has a 6.18-inch full-HD+ screen with 1080 x 2246 pixel resolution display. Although there was a lot of furore regarding the phone not being able to play HD videos from some video streaming websites, many consumers did not care. The phone has a 2.5D curved display with Gorilla Glass 3 which provides additional protection. But the main feature that attracted so many fans towards this phone was the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 SoC which is the latest SoC available at the moment.
The Poco F1 Armoured Edition has a dual camera setup at the back and a single camera at the front. The rear cameras include a 12-megapixel Sony IMX363 primary sensor and a 5-megapixel secondary sensor. It also features a 20-megapixel camera along with HDR and AI Beautify features. Other notable features include 4G+ VoLTE, Wi-Fi 802.11ac, Bluetooth v5.0, USB Type-C, 3.5mm headphone jack. It has a 4,000 mAh battery that supports 18W charging and Quick Charge 3.
The phone’s armoured edition will go on sale in the country through Mi.com and Flipkart. Starting 00:01am on December 26, 2018. The 6GB 128GB variant is priced at Rs 23,999 in India.
Samsung is expected to launch the Galaxy S10 series of smartphones in Q1 of 2019. The Galaxy S10 series include the S10 Lite, the S10, and the S10+. The upcoming devices are believed to have a radical design change in comparison to their predecessor. The design and renders of the Galaxy S10 smartphones have leaked out on several instances. Reportedly the smartphones will have a high-screen-to body ratio with a hole in the display for the front camera. A leak on Twitter reveals the screen size of all the upcoming S10 smartphones. Furthermore, the same user has shared pictures of the Galaxy S10’s screen guard which provides key details about the design of the handset.
Twitter Leak
The exact size of the future Galaxy phone screen: S10 Lite: 5.75 inches S10: 6.11 inches S10+: 6.44 inches S10 5G version: 6.66 inches Note10: 6.75 inches
The tweet was posted by a Chinese leaker who goes by the username Ice universe. The leaker happens to be a trustworthy source as previous leaks from him have mostly turned out true. The tweet reveals that the different variants of the Samsung Galaxy S10 will have the following screen sizes:
Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite: 5.75 inch
Samsung Galaxy S10: 6.11 inches
Galaxy S10+: 6.44 inches
Galaxy S10 5G version: 6.66 inches
Additionally, the tweet reveals that the Note 10 will have a massive 6.75-inch display. The display on the upcoming Galaxy smartphones will most likely have an Infinity-O notch. The Infinity-O notch has a small hole for the camera in the display. The previously launched Galaxy A8s with Infinity-O notch suggests what to expect in terms of design from future Samsung smartphones.
Screen Protector
The screen protector of the Samsung Galaxy S10+ supports the claim that the smartphone will have dual front cameras. The dual front cameras are laterally mounted on the right of the smartphone. Most notably, the camera holes on the Galaxy S10+ will be smaller than that of the Galaxy A8s.
Additionally, the leaked screen guard has a curve which tapers towards the sides. This indicates that the Galaxy S10+ will have a 2.5d glass front.
Xiaomi has lunched its Mint Browser on the Google Play Store. The browser is a lightweight version of an already existing browser which comes in-built along with MIUI. The Mint browser is however not restricted to just Xiaomi devices and can be installed on any Android smartphone. However, the browser is still not available in India, but should be made available soon.
The Mint browser is a lightweight browser and it is designed to consume fewer resources. The browser is smaller and lighter in terms of download size, installation size, memory and data usage and many other arenas. The light weight nature and small size does have some issues as well. The browser isn’t really feature loaded, but it does have the bare necessities for every day use.
The browser features an incognito mode. It also has a data sober mode which compresses images to save data. It does not have an ad-blocker which is a common feature among browsers these days. Also , the search engines which you can use is limited to Yahoo, which is the default and Google. To use an alternative like DuckDuckGo, you will have to set that as the default start page.
It also features a night mode, which is a feature already found on the MIUI browser. This mode turns the webpages dark so as to decrease eye-strain at night. However, this night mode does have its drawbacks. The web page only switches to dark mode after the entire web page finishes loading. Until then, it stays in the original colours.
However, unlike the other Xiaomi browser, this one is clean and free of annoying ads and pop ups. This means there are no notifications, promoted content, ads and pop ups. The app is available for free on the Play Store.
Apple was one of the first companies to launch a smartphone with a display notch. The notch was first seen on the iPhone X which was launched in the year 2017. This year Apple launched three new devices, the iPhone XS, the iPhone XS Max, and the iPhone XR; all of which have a notch display. Although Apple’s notch raised a few eyebrows initially, a lot of Android OEMs have incorporated it on their smartphones. Several Android smartphone manufacturers are experimenting with different shapes and sizes of the notch.
The Future Of The Notch
OnePlus, another leader in the smartphone industry launched the OnePlus 6with a narrow notch in the display. Its successor, the OnePlus 6T has a smaller waterdrop notch which translates into an even higher screen-to-body ratio. The future smartphones from the company are expected to push the screen-to-body ratio even further.
Samsung, the number one global smartphone manufacturer, has refrained from incorporating the notch on their smartphones. However, the company had launched the Galaxy A8s smartphone which has a punch hole in the display for the front-facing camera. Furthermore, the company is expected to launch the Galaxy S10 in Q1 of 2019 which is believed to have a non-circular cutout in the display which will accommodate multiple front-facing cameras. Other companies including Huawei, Honor, and Lenovo have either launched smartphones with this type of camera cutout or are about to do so which indicates this type of notches are the future.
When Will iPhones Get Punch-Hole Cameras?
As far as I know, the 2019 iPhone still uses Notch, and in 2020 will use hole in display.
A Chinese leaker, Ice universe claims that the Apple iPhone’s that will launch in 2019 will have a similar wide notch as their predecessor. However, he claims the 2020 Apple iPhones will do away with the notch and incorporate the punch hole cameras in the display. These claims can be agreed with due to various reasons.
Unlike Samsung, Apple does not manufacture displays for their smartphones. The company sources them from 3rd party manufacturers like LG and Samsung. Therefore, Apple needs to collaborate with these 3rd party vendors to design and develop displays with this feature. Apparently, the development and mass production of all this will take time.
Another hindrance that limits Apple from using this type of display is their complex Face ID recognition mechanism. Apple iPhone’s have one of the most secure facial recognition on any smartphone. To achieve this level of security the company makes use of an IR camera which is combined with the regular camera sensor. All these components are housed in the notch of current iPhone models. To launch iPhone’s with a punch-hole camera, Apple will have to first resolve this issue.
The Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro is one of the most popular Xiaomi phones sold in India till date. Even though the phone was launched some time back and a successor, the Redmi Note 6 Pro has been launched, the phone still retains its popularity. The phone was launched with Android 7 Nougat. It got the Android 8 Oreo update within a few months, as promised by the company. And now, according to the latest listing, the smartphone will be receiving the Android 9 Pie update soon.
Geekbench Listing
The latest software upgrade that the Redmi Note 5 Pro had received was the MIUI 10 update. But it looks like the company is all set to take one of its most popular phones to the next level. The phone was spotted on Geekbench, running on Android 9. This means that the update for the same is around the same and will be rolled out to users soon. If this update will happen, it will make it the second major software update for the device, which is not very common in Xiaomi devices. Adding to that, it will also make it one of the most speediest updates to reach a device which is not so recent.
However the Geekbench listing also provided another interesting bit of information. A version of the Redmi Note 5 Pro was spotted with the Snapdragon 660 processor. The Redmi Note 5 Pro was initially launched with the Snapdragon 636 processor. Interestingly, even the newly launched Redmi Note 6 Pro runs on the 636 chipset. It is possible that Xiaomi might be launching a second variant of the Redmi Note 5 Pro with the 660 chipset.
The Xiaomi Redmi note 5 Pro has a 5.99 inch LCD display with a 2160 x 1080 px resolution. It runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 processor and has 3 GB, 4 GB and 6 GB RAM options. It has 32 GB and 64 GB storage variants, both with expandable memory of upto 256 GB. The phone sports a 12 MP + 5 MP dual rear camera and a 20 MP front facing camera.
Samsung is about to launch an all-new series of smartphones which will carry the ‘M’ prefix. Reportedly the new series is targeted towards developing markets.

The Geekbench listing reveals a lot of information about the specifications of the Galaxy M30.
Geekbench Revelations

Additionally, the smartphone has 4 GB of LPDDR4x RAM. Although the listing does not talk about the LPDDR4x RAM, Samsung’s website provides this information. Other specifications like the screen size and camera resolution are unavailable but Exynos 7885’s website reveals the supported specifications.
Exynos 7885
The Samsung Exynos 7885 is an Octa-Core SoC which is manufactured using 14 nm FinFET technology. The chipset has Mali G71 MP2 graphics and it supports SD 3.0 or eMMC 5.1 storage.
