  • Honor Magic 2 Official Images Surface

    Honor Magic 2 Official Images Surface

    The Honor Magic 2 has been in quite a few leaks recently, as is the case with any smartphone these days. These leaks have given us a rough look at what the device looks like. Now, a few more images have surfaced, which are official images by the company itself. These images give us the first proper look at the device and some of its features.

    Design

    The images show the Honor Magic 2, along with its box. They show two new colours, a gradient blue and a gradient pink. The design language and use of colours is very familiar as it has been seen on a few Honor devices before. The images also show us the box, which is black in colour with Gold text on it. We do not know if these are retail boxes or are just being used for the purpose of this photograph.

    Moving on to the most interesting aspect, the device itself. The back of the device shows off a triple camera setup which is quite unique. Although the setup is vertically aligned, Honor has coupled two sensors with the LED flash. A bigger sensor, is housed slightly away from the other sensors and the flash. This sensor appears to be bigger and might be the primary sensor of the camera setup. The design is unique, and it is refreshing to see something which is different from the rest.

    Features

    On the front, we can clearly see the bezel-less display with close to a 100% screen-to-body ratio. The sliding mechanism shows two front facing cameras and a sensor for the 3D Face Unlock technology which Honor would be using for this device. Due to the placement of the front facing cameras and the sensors in the slider, the Honor Magic 2 can achieve its almost bezel-less display. None of the images show a physical fingerprint scanner. This can mean either of two things. The Honor Magic 2 might be using an in-display fingerprint scanner  or it might have not included a fingerprint scanner and will be totally dependant on the 3D Face Unlock technology for security.

    Previous leaks suggest that the device has a 6.4 inch FHD+ display and is running on the Kirin 980 chipset. It has 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage along with a 3,400 mAH battery. The battery is supported by Huawei’s 40W  fast charging technology. The device is said to run EMUI 9 based on Android 9 out of the box.

    The launch of the device is set for 31 October where all the rumours and speculations about the device will be put to rest.

  • Samsung Notebook Flash Launched

    Samsung Notebook Flash Launched

    Samsung is not the first name that comes to our mind when we talk about laptops, although they manufacture some of the top peripherals for computers including SSD’s, monitors, etc. But recently, Samsung has launched the new ‘Samsung Notebook Flash’ laptop in Korea. The laptop has a beautiful design and is available in various colours.

    Design & Features

    The Samsung Notebook Flash is a clamshell styled laptop. The top of the laptop has a shiny textured pattern and a cloth like material covers the palm rest and keyboard area. The Samsung Notebook Flash has a retro-styled keyboard with circualar keys instead of conventional square shaped ones. Samsung claims it is inspired by an analog typewriter and the keys have curved key caps. The laptop has the latest 802.11 ac 2 x 2 Gigabit wireless Wi-Fi card that supports download speeds of up to 1.7 Gbps. The laptop also has some enhanced security features. The enhanced security features include Windows hello function that uses an inbuilt fingerprint sensor to unlock the laptop. It also has a private folder that stays hidden till the user unlocks it to browse its data and files.

    Talking about the display, the laptop has a 13.3 inch Full HD resolution with a wide viewing angle. The laptop has USB Type C port for charging or connecting to accessories or other USB Type C devices like smartphones. It supports next generation Universal Flash Storage (UFS) cards which are up to 5x faster than regular microSD cards.

     The Samsung Notebook Flash has a price of 820,000 Won (around Rs 53,000) and will be available in three colour variants: Linen White, Twill Charcoal & Soft Charcoal. The laptop is currently available in Korea but we wish Samsung launches this retro styled beautiful laptop in India as well.

  • PUBG Mobile Update 0.9.0 To Introduce Night Mode

    PUBG Mobile Update 0.9.0 To Introduce Night Mode

    The fight between PUBG, Call of Duty and Fortnite continues as all the games try to one-up the other. In its latest bid to make the game more interesting, PUBG is bringing an update with new features, bug fixes, new maps, weapons and cars. The PUBG 0.9.0 update will fix the sluggishness and lag issues. Along with connectivity issues in certain instances as reported by a few different websites. The new update will include features like Spectator Mode, Night Mode, night vision goggles, and a Halloween theme. It will also have new weapons such as grenades and guns, new vehicles including the Rony pick-up truck, better matchmaking between players and registration for a Crew Challenge Tournament.

    New Update Features

    The Halloween theme will bing new cosmetic items to the game. Dynamic weather will add overcast weather. There will be a first person perspective inside vehicles as well. Reports also say that in the new update, one can build small tower like structures anywhere. Dancing grenades and Landmine traps are also being added to make the game interesting.

    A new car called “Rony” will now feature in the Sanhok map. A new AR rifle – QBU (uses 5.56 ammo) has been added to the existing arsenal of AR rifles and PUBG promises to have lesser number of bots in the update. The most interesting feature however still remains the Night Mode. PUBG in itself is a difficult game to play, more so on a mobile phone. It will be even more difficult to look for enemies in the night.

    It will also supposedly add new environmental details such as new buildings, covers and trees to make the maps and the overall gaming experience more immersive. The new update will arrive on 25th October. There is a leaked version of the new update already available online but we suggest that you wait for the official update to avoid any mishaps.

     

  • OnePlus 6T First Camera Sample Appears

    OnePlus 6T First Camera Sample Appears

    With it’s great value for money smartphones with flagship features, OnePlus has quickly become a brand that needs no introduction. One example of such a smartphone will be the upcoming OnePlus 6T that will launch on 29th October. OnePlus has been constantly teasing the OnePlus 6T’s features, ranging from an in-display fingerprint sensor to an all new Oxygen OS. And recently, the CEO of OnePlus, Pete Lau  has shared a camera sample from the OnePlus 6T boasting its the low-light photography capabilities.

    The camera sample simply looks fantastic and if this is a true shot taken from the OnePlus 6T, then it will definitely give flagships from Apple & Google a run for their money. Although, it is not clear whether the photo was taken on a tripod or is a handheld shot. The buildings look blur free and the clouds look colour accurate & defined.

    On inspecting the camera sample, it reveals the photo has a 13 MP resolution but it lacks any EXIF information. Hence, it is not possible to reveal relevant details like exposure, aperture or manufacturer of the sensor. EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is a standard that specifies the formats for images, and ancillary tags used by smartphones & digicams.

    Apart from the camera samples, some key features and specifications of the OnePlus 6T are already available.

    OnePlus 6T Specifications

    The OnePlus 6T will feature a 6.41 inch Full HD Super AMOLED display. It will have a water-drop notch, according to an official teaser. OnePlus has also confirmed that the new device will do away with the 3.5 mm audio jack but thankfully the Bullets earphones will now be available with a Type-C connector. For securely unlocking the device, it has an in-display fingerprint sensor, which the company claims is very fast.

    As per reports, it will have a 3,700 mAh battery and will support Dash charging. The OnePlus 6T will have dual rear cameras and a single front-facing camera. Though, exact information regarding the camera sensors is not yet available. The OnePlus 6T will have the same Snapdragon Octa-Core 845 processor as the OnePlus 6. This is the best processor that Qualcomm has on offer for now. The device might be available in two variants 6 GB or 8 GB of RAM  along with 128/256 GB ROM as the leaked prices of the OnePlus 6T suggest.

  • Google Pixel 3 Users Report Multiple Issues

    Google Pixel 3 Users Report Multiple Issues

    The Google Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL devices are the latest flagship smartphones by the tech giant. Google launched the devices a few weeks back.They carry on the legacy of Pixel devices with great camera performance and the best stock Android experience. However, it is not all smooth sailing for the Pixel devices as a lot of users are now complaining about various issues in the phone.

    Camera Problems

    One of the most common complaints by users is that their Pixel 3 device is not saving they pictures they take. A lot of users on Reddit, are claiming so. With the Pixel series being well known for its excellent camera performance, this feature puts a blot on that image. But, a few users have said that this is due to the Doze Battery feature. Disabling this feature has fixed the problem for some users.

    Continuing with issues related to the camera, users have also reported poor audio quality while recording video. Users complain that the audio seems to be of a low quality and has poor output. However, this does seem pretty unlikely. Google laid a lot of emphasis on the fact that they have made several enhancements in the audio recording capability of the Pixel 3. They aim to reduce background noise while enhancing dialogue or what is being spoken.

    Performance Issues

    Issues have appeared in terms of performance as well as a lot of users are complaining about Memory Management in the Pixel 3. Apparently, the device is killing off apps which are running in the background to free up RAM. This includes music and podcasts apps which are closing without any warning. This could be due to the fact that the Pixel 3 has only 4 GB of RAM which isn’t really something seen in flagship devices in 2018. Additionally, users also complain about the device failing to automatically connect to Wi-Fi networks even when they are in range. Users have also complained about speed drop issues in the Wi-Fi network.

    As of now, there has been no word from Google about these issues though quite a number of people are talking about it. We hope Google can solve the issues via an OTA update. Not counting these issues, the Pixel 3 is arguably the best camera smartphone out there with a smooth user experience.

  • Apple Demands Bloomberg To Take Down Chinese Chip Hacking Report

    Apple Demands Bloomberg To Take Down Chinese Chip Hacking Report

    A few weeks back, Blooomberg had reported that Chinese spies had compromised more than 30 US companies. This was apparently done by planting malicious chips into their servers while they were being manufactured in China. Through this chip, hackers where then able to create a backdoor into any networks running on the said server. The list of companies also includes tech giant Apple which has denied all the claims made by the report. Furthermore, Apple CEO Tim Cook had now asked Bloomberg to take down the report.

    The incident took place back in 2015, and according to the report, Apple had discovered the said ‘breach’. The report also states that Apple had cut ties with the vendor, Supermicro and reported the incident to the FBI. While the tech giant not only denies the report, it also made a detailed company statement signed by the Vice President of Information Security, refuting the claims of such an incident. However, Bloomberg did not back down after this. They proceeded to publish a follow up story which further backed up the original report.

    Apple’s Rebuttal

    Tim Cook Apple

    In an interview with a news agency, Tim Cook said that he was personally involved in the response to the story by the company. The CEO said that they searched through Emails, data centre records, financial records and shipment records and found nothing. He further said ,”This did not happen. There’s no truth to this”.  Bloomberg on the other hand, said that this the report is the result of more than a year of research and reporting which involves more than a 100 interviews. They claim sources such as government officials and insiders at companies who confirmed the attack. They further said “We stand by our story and are confident in our reporting and sources.”

    This is the first time Apple has asked a company to take down a report for carrying false information. Earlier reports which showed the company in a poor light and were made from fragmented tales did not bother them so much. With both sides not willing to back down from their respective claims and defending their sides, it is difficult to say as to who is actually presenting the truth.

  • OnePlus 6T Ultimate Limited Edition Leaks

    OnePlus 6T Ultimate Limited Edition Leaks

    OnePlus is all set to launch their latest flagship, the OnePlus 6T. The smartphone was scheduled to launch on 30th October but now has been preponed to 29th October. As Apple has announced their launch event for 30th October. The conflicting dates would steal OnePlus’s thunder and in order to minimise the damage, the company took this drastic step.

    Recently a limited edition variant of the smartphone has been listed online on a Swedish retailer, Webhallen. The listing states that only 100 pieces of the OnePlus 6T ‘Ultimate Limited Edition’ will be available. This could be a stunt by the Swedish retailer to gain some attention or an actual variant. As OnePlus has previously launched such limited edition devices. The OnePlus 5T was available in a Star Wars edition and the OnePlus 6 had a limited Avengers edition. If such a device exists it will be available at the top end variant with 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB ROM.

    Alleged Specifications OnePlus 6T:
    OnePlus 6 Avengers Edition

    A lot of the features and specifications of the upcoming OnePlus 6T are already available. For reference:

    The OnePlus 6T will have a 6.41 inch Full HD Super AMOLED display. The new device has a waterdrop notch according to the official teaser. The company also confirmed that the new device will not have a 3.5 mm audio jack but thankfully the Bullets earphones will now be available with a Type-C connector.

The device will have 6 GB or 8 GB of RAM along with 128/256 GB ROM.

    To conclude, we can only wait till 29th October and let the company officially take off the curtains from the highly awaited OnePlus 6T.

     

     

  • Samsung W2019 Flip-Phone With Dual Screens Leaks

    Samsung has a range of W series smartphones that are exclusively available in China. Here is one upcoming device from the series called the Samsung W2019. It is a flip-style smartphone with modern day features. 

    Flip Phone in 2019?

    The Samsung W 2019 has two touchscreen displays and a T9 keyboard. The smartphone was also seen on TENAA but now has been taken down. The TENAA listing reveals the devices measures 132.9 x 63.2 x 17.3 mm and has a 4.2-inch screen size. It runs on the Android operating system, however the Android version is not specified.

    The smartphone supports dual SIM cards and it has a 3,000 mAh battery.  The leaked images reveal the volume rocker and power button are on the right side. The Bixby button is present on the left side. Bixby is Samsung’s artificial intelligence based virtual assistant that the user can interact with. No information regarding the processor is available but we expect the phone to have the Octa-Core Snapdragon 845 SoC.

    Talking about the looks of the device, it has Rose gold metal construction and a black rear glass panel. Placed on the rear glass panel are the dual rear cameras with LED flash. The front of the phone has 3 capacitive navigation buttons and the Samsung branding up top. The bottom of the smartphone has the micro-USB port, microphone pinhole, and the loudspeaker.

    Opening the flip reveals the second screen and the physical keypad. The speakerphone and the front-facing camera are present on the second display. The smartphone also has a  lens on top of the keypad which might be an additional camera. There is nothing much to talk about the keypad except the three physical Android navigation keys.

    The device is bound for the Chinese market and we will only get more information about the Samsung W2019 once the company officially announces it.

  • Samsung Working On An In-Display Front Facing Camera

    Samsung Working On An In-Display Front Facing Camera

    Samsung is reportedly working on an in-display front facing camera. If the reports are true, then we are going to witness one of the biggest jumps in smartphone technology. An in-display front-facing camera eliminates the need for a bezel or a notch to house the camera sensor. This could result in a truly bezel-less display without the hassles of a ‘sliding’ or ‘pop-up’ camera.

    Samsung displayed the plan to do so at the 2018 Samsung OLED forum. The company announced that they will be working on other OLED technologies as well. This includes an in-display fingerprint scanner, a touch-sensitive technology and a screen sound technology. What these would do is not exactly clear as of now. But the in-display camera is the most exciting and arguably the most important out of the lot.

    A New Trendsetter?

    Samsung has kept away from the ‘notch’ trend all this while. While every other smartphone manufacturer, including Google has jumped on to the bandwagon, Samsung has not. Recently, Samsung was teasing Google for the huge notch on its Pixel 3 XL device. It has also been mocking Apple ever since the launch of the iPhone X. With such confidence in their design and the need to bring something new, which will define the industry standard for design, Samsung might be looking to integrate this technology in the upcoming Galaxy S10.

    However, reports also claim that this technology is in its infancy and is just being tested on a handful of prototype phones. With the launch of the Galaxy S10 not far away, this could mean that we will not see this technology in the device. However, we can expect many surprises from the company in terms of the Galaxy S10. The S10 is said to feature a bigger screen, a bigger battery and might even have a 5G variant, along with an in-display fingerprint scanner.

  • Huawei Plans To Manufacture Mobile Phones In India

    Huawei Plans To Manufacture Mobile Phones In India

    Many smartphone manufacturers like Xiaomi, Vivo, Oppo and OnePlus have already set up their manufacturing processes in India. Manufacturers are increasingly preferring India as a manufacturing hub over China because of the advantages in terms of labour and government’s favourability. Huawei, the $150 billion Chinese giant, has said to a news website that they intend to begin manufacturing phones in India as early as next year. They have already set up plans to open 1000 storefronts all across the country to gauge the market.

    Huawei’s Make In India

    The company’s VP has informed that they look at India strategically. They now intend to grow their presence through the launch of devices in the mid and premium end of the market. Manufacturing in India reduces the price of the smartphones for the Indian market drastically. Currently there is a 20% import duty levied on smartphones that will be negated once they are manufactured locally. This is specially important for a price sensitive market. In 2017, Huawei accounted 153 million in global smartphone sales. The company also stated that they plan to manufacture the phones with their partner Flex who has a factory in Chennai. This in turn will generate new jobs and will help India as well in the long run.

    The company representative has also said that apart from China, they have seen a significant growth across many different markets including Europe. Xiaomi is currently the largest phone manufacturer in India. They buy their devices from Foxconn’s India unit. India is one of the most lucrative smartphone markets and has immense potential for growth. Huawei however is the largest phone manufacturer in China, which is the world’s biggest smartphone market. The company has also stated that they plan to import other products such as smartwatches and laptops for now. They have also indicated that they may manufacture these locally as well, once they start gaining popularity.

  • Nokia 8.1 Spotted On Geekbench Before Launch

    Nokia 8.1 Spotted On Geekbench Before Launch

    An upcoming premium smartphone from Nokia with the moniker Nokia 8.1 has appeared on Geekbench’s website before it’s official launch. The specifications of the Nokia 8.1 are quite similar to the recently launched Nokia X7 or Nokia 7.1 Plus.

    The device has the same processor as the Nokia X7 which is the Snapdragon Qualcomm 710 SoC. It is an Octa-core processor, which according to Geekbench has a frequency of 1.71 GHz that is much less than what it is capable of. Geekbench results also reveal that the device has 4 GB of RAM. The device that was benchmarked might be the base variant of Nokia 8.1 as even the Nokia X7 is available with 4 GB or 6 GB RAM. 

    Nokia 8.1 Geekbench Score

    The device has a single-core score of 1841 and a multi-core score of 5807 even though the processor is not set to its highest clock speed. So if Nokia speeds up the processor the score would improve considerably.

    Besides the RAM and processor, not many specifications of the Nokia 8.1 are available as of now. But as it might be an improved smartphone over to the Nokia 7.1 plus, we expect it to have better specifications.

    Nokia 7 Plus

    For reference, the Nokia 7.1 plus has a 6.18 inch IPS LCD touchscreen with a pixel density of 408 ppi. It has the Octa-Core Snapdragon 710 processor. Four Cores have a frequency of 2.2 GHz and the other four of 1.7 GHz. It has 12 MP + 13 MP dual rear cameras and a 20 MP front selfie camera. The Nokia 7.1 has a 3,500 mAh non-removable lithium-ion battery and supports fast charging. It is available in 4 GB or 6 GB RAM variants paired with 64 GB or 128 GB of inbuilt storage which is expandable up to 400 GB via a MicroSD card.

    However, Nokia is yet to comment about the leaked device. For now, we can only wait for Nokia to officially announce the smartphone and bring it to India.

     

  • Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 New Colours And Fingerprint Scanner Leaked

    Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 New Colours And Fingerprint Scanner Leaked

    The Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 has seen various leaks. The latest one features two Mi Mix 3 phones in two different colours. Very recently, a press render and live shot of the Mi Mix 3 surfaced. Now another image has been shown by the company’s CEO himself. In the image, two Mi Mix 3 devices are kept side by side, one is Black and the other is Blue in colour. The phone shows a dual camera vertical setup with flash and surprisingly features a fingerprint sensor. The photo was taken down shortly after.

    It was much talked about that the new Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 will have an in-display fingerprint sensor but it seems there will be different variants with different ways to unlock the phone. Xiaomi is also reportedly working on a special arts edition in conjunction with the British Museum. The phone will also supposedly sport 24-megapixel selfie cameras. The company has also recently confirmed that it will feature a sliding front camera with flash.

    Other Rumours

    The glass back panel suggests that wireless charging might be an option as well. It also features a USB Type-C charging port. Other rumoured specifications include Android Pie, a Samsung AMOLED display panel with a screen resolution of 2340 x 1080 pixels and 19.5:9 aspect ratio. Rumours also suggest that the phone will have Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 SoC, coupled with 10GB of RAM and up to 256GB of internal storage. The device is also set to be the first smartphone with 5G support.

The 6GB RAM/ 64GB will cost around $510 (roughly Rs. 37,500) and the 6GB RAM/ 128GB will be $555 (about Rs. 40,800). The 8GB RAM/ 128GB should be around $600 (around Rs. 44,100) while the 8GB RAM/ 256GB is reportedly around $645 (close to Rs. 47,400). No leaks have come up yet on the 10 GB variant’s price. The Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 will see its launch on October 25 at an event in China.

The new Mi TV 4A has a 58-inch display and retails for a just 2.999 Yuan.
