    Xiaomi Launches Wireless AirDots And New Mi Notebook Air

    Xiaomi has been on a roll, launching products that are affordable, yet have great quality. In an event in China, Xiaomi recently launched two new products. A wireless Apple-styled white earbud and a new notebook powered by the intel i3 processor. Xiaomi is known to take their design cues from Apple, previously having launched products that look very similar to iPhones and MacBooks and the earbuds are no different. Even the name of the product AirDots sound eerily similar to AirPods by Apple.

    AirDots

    The AirDots have tappable controls and a compact charging case just like the AirPods from Apple. They costs around 199 yuan which is about $29 and they look quite good too. They are slightly rectangular in shape compared to AirPods and have silicone tips that allow for better sound isolation and a better fit. There are speculations that they might soon be added in the box with Mi phones, just like the wireless chargers that were recently announced as well. The AirDots run on Bluetooth 5.0. They also connect to the last paired device automatically once they are taken out of their case. The standalone battery life is around 4 hours and the battery time with the case is around 12 hours.

  • Samsung Showcases Its Foldable Smartphone With Infinity Flex Display

    Samsung Showcases Its Foldable Smartphone With Infinity Flex Display

    The long awaited, folding smartphone from Samsung is finally here. Samsung unveiled the phone, which also doubles up as a tablet, at the Samsung Developer Conference. But the company did not reveal an official name for the device. However, they did mention that it uses what is called the Infinity Flex Display. This lets you use the phone as a smartphone when it is folded, and a tablet when the screen is unfolded. The device runs on the new Android OS for folding displays. It will enter mass-production early next year, according to Samsung.

    To complete the transition, it uses a 4.6 inch Super AMOLED display which acts as the primary display for when you use it as a smartphone. Upon unfolding, you can use the 7.3 inch Super AMOLED display which is the main display, according to the company. With so much screen available, you can use up to three apps at once, while using the device. The company also ensures a smooth transition between apps. They also claim that the transition from a smartphone to a tablet is smooth and effortless at all times. To make this possible, they take the help of Android, which has announced support for foldable displays.

    The Foldable Future

    Samsung has also set up an emulator SDK to help test apps for the device. Additionally, they will provide guidelines on how to develop apps for foldable smartphones. Samsung also said that they have spent a lot of time on perfecting the design elements for the new phone. From what we can see in the video of the device presented by the company, it has much thinner bezels and a smoother finish than the FlexPai folding smartphone, which was launched last week.

    Some reports also suggest that this is not the production variant of the phone. Saying that the final version will have thinner bezels and a less bulky design. This would be key as no one would like to lug around a phone that is bulky and inconvenient, no matter how innovative it may be.

    Samsung Teases Its Foldable Phone, Will Reveal It Soon

    The Samsung Developer Conference is just a day away and the hype around the event is increasing. Samsung will give the world a first glance at its foldable Galaxy smartphone, which also doubles up as a tablet. The foldable device had been under production for a long time and sports a 7.3 inch foldable internal OLED display.

    Two-Fold Teaser

    Samsung updated the pictures on its Twitter handle and Facebook page. The new image features a ‘folding’ logo which obviously points towards the imminent launch of the folding phone. The folding phone has been given the title of Samsung Galaxy ‘F’ according to sources and doubles up as a tablet. There had been a lot of speculation regarding what kind of design Samsung would settle with for the device, and latest reports claim they have the answer. They stated that Samsung will use a 7.3 inch foldable internal OLED display and a 4.6 inch external OLED display. The internal display will hide completely when you fold the device and the external display will let you use it as a smartphone.

    Developer Conference

    The device will take centre stage at Samsung’s Developer Conference. The official SDC app also states that Samsung will display their new Android 9 Pie Beta program and a brand new Galaxy UX. It also states that we will get to see ‘how a foldable displanew experience creates a totally e’. However, this is not the first folding display. A Chinese company, Rouyu has already shown their display running on the unannounced Snapdragon 8150 ( a.k.a Snapdragon 855). The device is available for pre-order and a lot of people also had used the device hands-on.

Samsung is also expected to provide more details about its Galaxy Home AI Speaker at the event.

  • Asus Zenfone 6 To Have A Lateral Notch

    Asus Zenfone 6 To Have A Lateral Notch

    Taiwan based Asus is about to launch the Asus Zenfone 6, the successor to the Asus Zenfone 5Z. Recently leaked videos and photos claim that the Zenfone 6 will have a lateral notch. Smartphones with a notch are a very delicate topic as some users like it whereas others don’t. Nowadays, notches on a smartphone come in all kinds of shapes and sizes. The iPhone X and iPhoneXS have wide notches whereas the latest OnePlus 6T gets a tiny a water-drop notch. Now, Asus is experimenting with a completely new notch position; a ‘lateral’ top right side camera notch.

    Lateral Notch 

    In an effort to capitalise the maximum amount of screen real estate, Asus has moved the camera notch on to the right side of the top bezel. The images reveal that the Zenfone 6 has an overall high screen-to-body ratio. The speakerphone is embedded in the top bezel whereas the power button and volume rockers are placed on the right side of the smartphone. The loudspeaker/microphone cut-out, USB Type-C port and the 3.5 mm audio jack are placed on the bottom of the device. 

    The device seems to have a rear glass build which houses the dual camera and LED flash setup. The lock screen of the device reads “Use fingerprint, face or swipe up to unlock” which affirms that the device supports both Face Unlock & Fingerprint access. However, accurate information regarding the placement of the fingerprint reader is not available. As the rear panel does not have a hollow indentation for the fingerprint reader. Also, the fact that it does not have an onscreen visual indication for fingerprint reduces the chances of an in-display fingerprint reader.

    Unfortunately, the specifications of the Zenfone 6 are not yet available. But, the device is expected to launch during MWC 2019.

  • Samsung Galaxy S10 To Not Have The Iris Scanner

    Samsung Galaxy S10 To Not Have The Iris Scanner

    The Samsung Galaxy S10 is the upcoming flagship by Samsung. The smartphone marks the 10th anniversary of the Galaxy S series by Samsung and is therefore bound to be special. Previous leaks of the smartphone have showcased some very exciting features of the Galaxy S10. These include an almost bezel-less display with an in-display camera, among others. Latest reports suggest that Samsung will remove the Iris Scanner on the Galaxy S10. It will instead replaced by an in-display fingerprint sensor.

    More Than Meets the Eye

    Galaxy S9

    The Iris Scanner was first introduced with the Galaxy Note 7, infamous for its faulty batteries, which caused some smartphones to explode. The technology is seen in all the Galaxy Note and Galaxy S devices launched after the Note 7. The Galaxy Tab S4 is the most recent device to sport the Iris Scanner. The Iris Scanner by Samsung promised a high level of security with equally high levels of privacy as well. But now, the technology will make way for something bigger and more important; a larger display.

    Removing the sensor present on the top will ensure that there is more screen real estate on the Samsung Galaxy S10. The device will either have an in-display front-facing camera or a camera cut out on the display. This will make way for more screen real estate while not settling for a notch. Samsung is the only major Smartphone manufacturer who has not adopted the notch yet. We expect for the company to set a new trend with its next smartphone.

    UltraSonic Fingerprint Sensor

    Top 10 Features

    The Samsung Galaxy S10 will now have an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint reader. Almost all the smartphones available in the market today use an optical in-display fingerprint reader. The ultrasonic sensor is much more secure and upto 3x more expensive than its optical counterpart. Qualcomm has already finished the development of this sensor which uses cameras to map the ridges in your fingerprint along with the sweat pores on your fingers. The technology can work well through any type of display and also while in contact with water, sweat or grease.

    With all these features and more which are yet to be seen, the Galaxy S10 is shaping up to become a really interesting smartphone.

  • Realme Smartphones Will Soon See A Price Hike

    Realme Smartphones Will Soon See A Price Hike

    Realme is a Shenzhen based smartphone manufacturer that sells value for money smartphones. It started as a sub-brand of Oppo, but is an independent company now. Realme launched their first smartphone, the Realme 1 back in the month of May in India. The smartphone took over the Indian market like a storm owing to its killer pricing and features. It is the first smartphone to challenge the reign of Xiaomi phones, the budget leader in India. The company is headed by Madhav Sheth in India who has recently tweeted that Realme devices will soon see a price hike.

    The Realme 1 is a beautifully designed smartphone that is built with performance in mind. After the success of the former, the company has launched multiple other smartphones. List of the smartphones includes the Realme 2, Realme 2 Pro and the new budget champion Realme C1. The smartphones have seen a warm welcome by the Indian consumers. But, soon they will get a tad bit more expensive due to the decline of the Indian Rupee.

    Reason For The Price Hike

    A tweet by the CEO of Realme India explains that the company operates on very low-profit margins. And,  the fall in the Rupee’s value directly affects the pricing of their smartphones. It has forced them to revise the prices which will see a hike post-Diwali.

    Previously, Xiaomi had to increase the price of their very popular model, the Note 5 Pro by Rs 1,000 due to the same reason. It was initially launched at a price of Rs 14,000 but the company had to later revise the price to Rs 15,000. The fall in the Rupee’s value will surely affect the pricing of a lot of other smartphones and gadgets as well.

  • OnePlus 6T Thunder Purple Edition Shown Off In Official Renders

    OnePlus 6T Thunder Purple Edition Shown Off In Official Renders

    Earlier this week, a listing had given us an idea about the existence of a OnePLus 6T Thunder Purple variant. The listing now seems legit as official press images of the same have now been leaked. The OnePlus 6T Thunder Purple sure does look great. It also hints at the fact that OnePlus may have some more variants of their latest flagship in store for us.

    This trend was started way back with the OnePlus 5T. The 5T saw a limited edition variant launching sometime after the smartphone itself was launched. The OnePlus 6 also carried forward this trend by releasing two new colours, Silk White and Red, followed by an Avengers Limited Edition device. Keeping this in mind, it is safe to say that we might see the launch of many other colours and maybe even limited editions of the OnePlus 6T.

    Last month, a listing on a German website had given us a glance at an ‘Ultimate Edition’ OnePlus 6T. But it was taken down soon after. The listing detailed just a 100 pieces of this truly limited device. However, OnePlus is yet to make a comment on any new editions of the OnePlus 6T which we might see in the future.

    OnePlus 6T

    The OnePlus 6T is the latest flagship by OnePlus. The phone sports a 6.41 inch Super AMOLED display with a water drop notch. It has a 2340 x 1080 px resolution and a 402 ppi density. The most striking feature is its in-display fingerprint sensor. The OnePlus 6T is power a 3,700 mAh battery which supports Dash Charging. Running on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 SoC, it runs Oxygen OS based on Android 9 Pie, out of the box. The device has 6 GB and 8 GB RAM options along with 128 GB and 256 GB storage options. The display has Corning Gorilla Glass Protection and it is better water sealed due to the absence of a headphone jack. It has a 16 MP + 20 MP dual rear camera setup along with a 16 MP front camera.

    OnePlus launched the OnePlus 6T early this week. Alongside the new smartphone the company also launched a new colour variant of the OnePlus Bullets Wireless earphones. According to the company, a red colour was demanded by the community and the company has decided to deliver.

    The OnePlus Bullets wireless were originally launched with the OnePlus 6 early this year, and were really popular with the OnePlus fans. The earphones have a unique feature, which allows users to play or pause music by simply connecting the magnetic back sides of the earphones. The new red colour has now been listed on the OnePlus website. 

    While the earphones are built well, and have loud sound, they have been under constant criticism. They have been found to be poor on the lower end side, something Oneplus claims to have addressed with improvements in the signal processing of the wireless sound.  OnePlus users can also adjust the EQ settings as per their requirement by going to Settings > Sound & Vibration > Audio Tuner
