Nokia X Looks Like The Huawei P20 Lite Running Stock Android

Nokia appears to be riding the notch bandwagon as well. There have been multiple leaks of the Nokia X so far and now, new live images of the upcoming smartphone have popped up on the internet. The Nokia X or the Nokia X6 will be a new mid-range smartphone from the company and some reports suggest that it could launch on the 16th of May, the same day that OnePlus launches the much-awaited OnePlus 6.

According to the images, the Nokia X will have a notch on the display which will house the necessary sensors, an earpiece and the front-facing camera. The notch has become incredibly common these days to a point that you can barely make out the differences between many phones. The Nokia X, for example, looks a lot like the Huawei P20 Lite from the front. Obviously, the branding on the front is that of Nokia instead of Huawei but, the placement of the branding, and with the notch, the differences between the two are minimal.

The Nokia X will supposedly sport a 5.8 inch IPS LCD display with a 2280 x 1080 px resolution. This translates into a 19:9 aspect ratio, the same as the P20 Lite.

The back of the smartphone has a shiny finish as you can see the reflection of the person taking the images. This could mean that the Nokia X has an all-glass design as it doesn’t seem like Nokia would revert to a shiny plastic build that looks like faux glass. The vertically placed dual-camera setup is in the usual Nokia position but, the “Carl Zeiss” branding is missing. This means that the Nokia X will cost somewhere between the Nokia 7 Plus and Nokia 6 2018. There are rumours that the device will have two variants, one running on the Snapdragon 636 with 6GB of RAM and the other with the MediaTek Helio P60 chipset coupled with 4GB of RAM.

Nokia in 2018 has launched a few impressive smartphones. The Nokia 7 Plus in India has a great set of specifications and price. The Nokia 8 Sirocco, despite running on an older chipset looks great and is priced equal to the Galaxy S8. The Nokia X would be a step in a new direction as Nokia tries to catch up with the industry trends. It was late to implement the 18:9 aspect ratio but it appears that it won’t hold back when it comes to launching smartphones with a notch.

Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Might Have An 18:9 Aspect Ratio

Xiaomi has had a lot of success with its smartphones in India. The Chinese company is now the top smartphone vendor in India, which is one of the largest smartphone markets in the world. The Chinese tech giant also makes very impressive Android tablets, something that cannot be said for most major Android OEMs. The Mi Pad 3 was launched in April 2017 and the launch of its successor, the Mi Pad 4, is imminent.

XDA Developers have now got hold of a few firmware files that shed some light on the Mi Tab 4. According to the files, the Xiaomi Mi Tab 4 could have an 18:9 aspect ratio but, it cannot be confirmed right now. The boolean value in the MIUI configuration file called “is_18x9_ratio_screen” is set to “true.” While this a hint of a tall display, folks over at XDA Developers are not very confident about this particular piece of information.

The Mi pad 4 will run on the Snapdragon 660 chipset, same as the recently launched Mi 6X. The maximum CPU frequency in MIUI’s configuration file is set to 2.0GHz for the big cluster, which hints at the Snapdragon 660 rather than the Snapdragon 636 which is found in the Redmi Note 5 Pro. There is no information on the RAM and storage options, but, it is possible the Mi Pad 4 could have 4GB of RAM and 64GB onboard storage. This particular configuration is extremely common among budget devices.

The Mi Pad 4 will have a single camera on the front and back. The rear-facing camera will be a 13MP OmniVision OV13855 sensor with an f/2.0 aperture. To the front will be a 5MP Samsung S5K5E8 sensor with an f/2.0 aperture. Tablets are rarely judged for their camera capabilities because it tends to be the least used function on a large sized device. However, a good front-facing camera is ideal for video calling .

The tablet industry has been dominated by Apple iPads for a while now. With most Android manufacturers shying away from manufacture of tablets, Samsung and Xiaomi are the only major brands especially in the budget category. Hence, the Mi Pad 4 could fill in a gaping hole in the tablet industry. Whether it will be successful at that or not, is yet to be seen.

Apple iPhone SE 2 Leaked Images Reveal A Glass Back And Headphone Jack

The Apple iPhone SE 2 is expected to be a successor to the highly popular and compact iPhone SE model. The clouds of uncertainty around the iPhone SE 2’s existence have certainly gone away as we approach a possible launch in May. However, we have received very conflicting reports so far regarding the features and design of the iPhone SE 2. A new set of images, possibly of the iPhone SE 2 reveal a few key details about the upcoming budget iPhone.

As is visible in the images, it appears that the iPhone SE 2 will indeed have a glass back, similar to the iPhone 8 and iPhone X. The design is very similar to the iPhone SE 2 with a single camera on the back. The front of the iPhone SE 2 has the same bezels as the iPhone SE along with the home button, which will house Touch ID as well. These images reaffirm that Apple won’t go for a radical upgrade with its budget iPhone and instead and introduce a few modern features along with updated hardware.

The interesting bit about these images is the presence of the headphone jack. The iPhone SE was the last iPhone that Apple launched with a headphone jack. In September 2016, Apple launched the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus which meant the end of the 3.5mm headphone jack in iPhones. Even previous reports have claimed that the iPhone SE 2 won’t have a headphone jack. It won’t make sense for Apple to claim that wireless technology is the future and then take a step back with the headphone jack.

We expect the iPhone SE 2 to be launched in India soon after its global launch, considering the success the iPhone SE has had in India. The Apple iPhone SE 2 could be manufactured in India at the Bengaluru plant, along with the current iPhone SE and the iPhone 6s Plus. The iPhone SE 2 for certain markets like India could also feature Dual- SIM capability as there are already reports of the Apple launching iPhones with this capability. The iPhone SE is Expected to start at US$ 550 for the 64 GB variant. In India, the iPhone SE 2 can launch for around Rs. 36,999.

Xiaomi Mi 6X Retail Box And Final Renders Leaked

Xiaomi has launched a lot of smartphones in the first three months of 2018 and will add another to its lineup in April. The Chinese smartphone maker will unveil the Xiaomi Mi 6X in China on the 25th of April. Xiaomi, in official teasers of the device, has revealed the key aspects of the design of the Mi 6X. However, information about the specifications has only been available through leaks. Now, a new leaked image of the retail box of the Mi 6X has revealed a few key details about the smartphone.

According to the leaked image, the Xiaomi Mi 6X will run on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 chipset. This is quite an upgrade over the Mi 5X/Mi A1 which ran on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 chipset. Interestingly, the Mi 6X will not have a 3.5mm headphone jack and instead retail with a USB C to 3.5mm dongle. To the front of the smartphone will be a 20MP camera with AI software like Beautify.

Other information about the smartphone was leaked via a recent TENNA listing. It will have a 5.99 inch IPS LCD 2160 x 1080 px display with 18:9 aspect ratio. Coupled with the Snapdragon 660 chipset will be either 4/6GB RAM with 64/128GB onboard storage.

The device has a dual 20MP and a 12MP sensor. However, the exact implementation of this dual camera setup is yet to be known. The front-facing camera is likely to support Face Unlock, like the Redmi Note 5 Pro. The Mi 6X will be powered by a 2910 mAh battery and support Fast Charging via a USB C port, as confirmed by the packaging.

In a recent teaser, we also learned that the Xiaomi Mi 6X will be available in a lot of colour variants. The Mi 6X will be available in Red, Gold, Rose Gold, Black and Blue colour variants. How many of these will make their way to the Indian shores is yet to be seen. The Xiaomi Mi 6X could be launched in India as the Mi A1 (2018) or the Mi A2. However, nothing is confirmed for now and the company might announce its global availability at the launch event.

Apple iPhone SE 2 With Touch ID And No Headphone Jack is Coming In May

Anticipation around the Apple iPhone SE 2 is on a rise now, as more reports claim that it will indeed launch in 2018. A day ago, there were reports of a possible WWDC 2018 launch for the iPhone SE 2 after Apple filed a few iPhone model numbers at EEC. However, a new report has now claimed that the iPhone SE 2 will launch in May and has given us a few details about the upcoming budget iPhone.

The information in the report is based on some details revealed by a few case makers. At the Global Sources Mobile Electronics trade-show, some iPhone case makers revealed that Apple is planning to announce the iPhone SE 2 sometime in May. This contradicts previous reports about the iPhone SE 2 launching at WWDC 2018.

iPhone SE

According to the report, the iPhone SE 2’s build and size will be very similar to the iPhone SE. This means that the iPhone SE 2 would not take design cues from the iPhone X and stick with thick bezels around the display. Subsequently, the iPhone SE 2 will have Touch ID as there will be space for Apple to house a home button on the front of the display. However, there will be a major difference between the iPhone SE and SE 2. The iPhone SE 2 will not have a headphone jack, something that Apple has not provided in an iPhone since the launch of the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus.

The report also claims that the iPhone SE 2 will have wireless charging. However, it was unclear about the kind of build quality that Apple will go for. Also, the iPhone SE 2 will run on the A10 Fusion chipset, which debuted with the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus. This is a very powerful chipset and for a budget iPhone SE 2, it will provide great processing power.

Just like the iPhone SE, we expect the iPhone SE 2 to be manufactured in India as well. This means that the iPhone SE 2 will be the most affordable iPhone launched in India in 2018. Considering the success the iPhone SE has had in India, we expect Apple to launch the iPhone SE 2 in India along with other major markets like the US and China.

LG G7 ThinQ Will Have A Physical Button To Trigger Google Assistant

Artificial Intelligence, as touted by many, is the future of smartphones and the world in general. We recently saw what an underdeveloped AI app can do by creating a fake video that was hard to recognise. AI in smartphones is also catching up. Google showed us what machine learning can do with the great camera performance of Google Pixel 2 devices. Now, LG appears to have taken the next step in adopting AI for the upcoming LG G7 ThinQ.

The LG G7 ThinQ, scheduled for a May 2nd launch, will have a physical button to trigger the Google Assistant. The smart assistant by Google is readily available in Android smartphones running Android 6 Marshmallow and newer. LG wants to take the integration to a whole new level by dedicating a physical button to just the Google Assistant. This won’t be the first time that such a precedence is given to the Google Assistant. The Google Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL have something called Edge Sense, which allows users to squeeze the frame of their Pixel 2 to trigger Google Assistant.

In 2017, Samsung launched the Galaxy S8 and S8+ with a similar “feature.” The flagship devices had a dedicated button to bring up Bixby, Samsung’s own smart assistant. In the beginning, there were apps that let users remap the button but, Samsung soon made that impossible via an update. However, the company soon heard the complaints and allowed users to at least disable the button. Interestingly, Samsung persisted with the “Bixby Button” for the Galaxy S9 and S9+ as well.

Apparently, the case of the LG G7 ThinQ won’t be too different either. The Google Assistant button won’t be remappable to some other app or task. This will definitely bother some people and could be a potential deal breaker for many. This decision is line with LG’s broader smartphone strategy of 2018 so far, which is to push AI as much as it can. The LG V30s ThinQ had a few AI features and was launched at MWC 2018. The G7 ThinQ is also expected to have AI capabilities along with a few AI modes in its camera app.

How the Google Assistant button will work and what its implications will be on daily usage is something that only time and testing will tell. The launch of the LG G7 ThinQ is on 2nd of May and we will get to know more details about it at the launch event.

Apple iPhone SE 2 Could Be Launched In June At WWDC 2018

Apple iPhone SE 2 has been a part of a lot of conjecture over the past few months. The iPhone SE was launched in March 2016 and Apple skipped a generational update in 2017. While there have been plenty of rumours about a possible iPhone SE 2 debuting in 2018, It now looks like the iPhone Se 2 is indeed real and could be launched soon. And For Apple what better than at the World Wide Developer’s Conference 2018 (WWDC 2018) in June.

The model numbers of a few upcoming iPhones have been spotted on EEC, the Russian portal. The EEC filing satisfies Russia’s requirement for companies to register all products containing encryption and/or cryptographic tools. A total of 11 model numbers have been filed with Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC). These model numbers are A1920, A1921, A1984, A2097, A2098, A2099, A2101, A2103, A2104, and A2106. It is worth noting that Apple uses a unique model number for the same iPhone for different regions. And therefore, does not mean that Apple is launching 11 different iPhones.

Apple iPhone SE 2 Leaked Images

For example, the iPhone X carries model numbers A1865, A1901, and A1902, depending on the carrier or which country it is being sold in. However, the timing of the filing of these model numbers is very interesting. EEC usually adds new smartphones to its database about a month before the official launch. This means that a possible June launch of the iPhone SE 2 is on the cards. Historically, WWDC has focused on iOS and app development but, Apple did launch the HomePod at WWDC 2017. This means that Apple will not shy away from announcing a major product at this year’s WWDC as well.

OnePlus 6 Launches in India May 18th Staring Rs. 39999

Update: The source story has been taken down as OnePlus has claimed that this information is false.

OnePlus has been dropping a few helpful hints in the puzzle that is the OnePlus 6. The company recently confirmed its partnership with Avengers: Infinity War which could mean a special edition OnePlus 6 will launch as well. The one thing we are not certain about so far is the date of launch. There have been a lot of rumours about a possible late-April launch which would make sense, since the Avengers: Infinity War releases on April 27th worldwide. However, a new report has claimed the OnePlus 6 won’t launch in India until mid-May.

OnePlus 5T Star Wars Edition

According to the report, the 6 will launch on the 18th of May in India at a starting price of Rs 39999. This contradicts a previous leak which claimed it will start at Rs 34999 in India. There will also be a special edition called the OnePlus 6 Premium, which will have 8GB RAM and 256GB storage, and is expected to be priced between Rs 44,999 – 48,999. The special edition Avengers OnePlus 6 might be available in just the 256GB storage variant. It is worth noting that OnePlus has so far, not teased a 256GB storage variant for the OnePlus 6.

The OnePlus 6, so far, seems like a sizeable upgrade over the OnePlus 5/5T. In the latest tweet by OnePlus’ official account, the company has seemingly confirmed that it will be water resistant. There are also rumours the OnePlus 6 will have an all-glass design which means the company could also introduce wireless charging. This is another feature that a lot of consumers have asked for but, so far, OnePlus has maintained that its DashCharge technology is superior to the current wireless charging technology.

The smartphone has also been confirmed to be an Amazon exclusive smartphone in India, like its predecessors. In an advertisement being shown at Cinemas in India, the last slide reveals that the 6 will be an Amazon-exclusive smartphone. However, like it did with the OnePlus 5 and OnePlus 5T, the 6 will also, eventually, make its way to offline stores as OnePlus is now trying to capture a market that strays away from shopping online.

The launch of the OnePlus 6 seems nigh, and the anticipation around the smartphone is increasing by the day. If priced similar to the OnePlus 5T, the OnePlus 6 could be a great flagship smartphone for 2018. Stay tuned for more updates.

Honor 10 Leaked In Stunning Twilight Colour Along With Other Colour Variants

Huawei’s sub-brand, Honor launched has launched three very strong smartphones in India in the last few months. The Honor 7X, Honor View10 and the Honor 9 Lite have been very well received for the price-to-performance ratio in India and continue to do well in the Indian market. The company is preparing to launch another smartphone, the Honor 10 on the 19th of April in China. In new leaked renders of the upcoming smartphone, the different colour variants of the Honor 10 have been revealed.

While it has already been leaked that the Honor 10 will have an all-glass design, these new colour variants make the device look even better. The most interesting of the three colours is the Twilight colour that we first saw on the Huawei P20 and P20 Pro. The Twilight colour on the smartphone shifts between blue and pink under different lighting and a viewing angle. The other two colour variants of the Honor 10 will be Black and Teal. Even the Teal colour variant is something that you do not see on a lot of smartphones.

The Honor 10 will also follow an industry trend that not a lot of people are a fan of, the notch. The upcoming smartphone will have a notch very similar to the Huawei P20 and P20 Pro which will house the earpiece, necessary sensors and the front-facing camera. Apart from the horizontally placed dual-camera setup, the Honor 10 resembles the Huawei P20 Pro.

The Honor 10 is expected to have a 5.8 inch IPS LCD display with a 2280 x 1080 px resolution. This translates into a 19:9 aspect ratio which is important in this case. Like the Huawei P20 and P20 Pro, the Honor 10 might also have an option to hide the notch via software. This means that the screen real estate on either side of the notch will be lost.

Under the hood, the smartphone will run on the HiSilicon Kirin 970 chipset with a neural processing engine. This is the same chipset found on the Huawei P20 and P20 Pro. On the back of the smartphone will be a dual-camera setup with an LED flash. The notch on the front will house a 20MP front-facing camera.

The Honor 10 could be a China-exclusive smartphone and may never make its way to India. However, with the Honor View10 a few months old, the Honor 10 could be a perfect upgrade with a better design at a similar price. Stay tuned to iGyaan for the latest updates from the launch event.

Moto G6 Plus Live Images Reveal 18:9 Aspect Ratio And Front Facing Fingerprint Sensor

On April 19th, Lenovo-owned Motorola will unveil the next iteration of its highly successful budget lineup, the Moto G6 series. This time around, there are rumours that Motorola will launch three smartphones, the Moto G6, G6 Play and Moto G6 Plus. It appears that the whole G series of smartphones will see an overhaul in design and build quality. Now, live images of the Moto G6 and Moto G6 Plus have leaked, a day before their official unveiling at an event in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

The leaked images also confirm that from the front, there will be no difference between the Moto G6 and G6 Plus. Despite the 18:9 aspect ratio, Motorola has kept the fingerprint sensor on the front of the devices. This means that the screen-to-body ratio of the two smartphones will take a hit but, the trade-off seems fair as a front-facing fingerprint sensor is more convenient than a rear facing one. The front-facing camera will also be accompanied by an LED flash on both the smartphones.

Benchmark scores of the Moto G6 Plus were already leaked, which reveal that the G6 Plus will run on the Snapdragon 630 chipset. Although according to the Geekbench listing the G6 Plus will run on the Snapdragon 660 chipset, the actual low benchmark scores point towards a 630 chipset. The Nokia 7 Plus, which runs on the Snapdragon 660 chipset scores 1640 points on a single core and 5827 points on multi-core performance. Whereas the Moto G6 Plus has scored 866 points on a single core and 4123 points on a multicore performance. The Moto G6 Plus scores are more comparable to the Moto X4 which runs on the Snapdragon 630.

The Moto G6 and G6 Plus along with the G6 Play will soon launch in India as well. If priced competitively, the Moto G6 series would compete with the likes of the Redmi Note 5 and Redmi Note 5 Pro in India. The launch of the Moto G6 series of smartphones is just a day away and all the details about the three smartphones will be revealed soon.

Apple WatchOS Might Support Third Party Watch Faces In The Future

Apple Watch is one of the most successful smartwatches with a market share of 21%. Apple WatchOS has been appreciated for a lot of features like, easy to navigate UI, battery life and design. However, just like iPhones, Apple has a control over the design elements of the smartwatch. This means, only Apple can develop new Watch Faces. This might change soon, as, according to a new leak, the Apple WatchOS might soon support third-party Watch Faces has been hinted in the source code of the WatchOS 4.3.1.

The line of code leaked from the latest version of watchOS has a statement ‘This is where the 3rd party face config bundle generation would happen’, which means, Apple could finally enable to developers to create Watch Faces using the WatchOS Kit. However, as of now, the feature has not been enabled on the current version of the watchOS and the company might announce this feature at the Apple World Wide Developer’s Conference 2018.

Considering the number of developers that watchOS has, Apple Watch could get a whole array of watch faces.

Xiaomi Mi 6X To Launch On April 25th

Xiaomi is hosting a launch event at the Wuhan University, China on the 25th of April. A new teaser released by the company on its Weibo account has confirmed that it will indeed launch the Xiaomi Mi 6X.

According to the teaser, the Xiaomi Mi 6X will be available in a blue colour variant with a full metal unibody design and an iPhone X style dual camera setup. The back of the smartphone looks very similar to the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro. While the front of the smartphone is not visible in the teaser, it is fair to assume that it will also look identical to the Redmi Note 5 Pro with an 18:9 aspect ratio.

It has also been reported that the Mi A1 has been discontinued in India. This means that the company has plans of launching a successor, and the Mi 6X could well be that successor. In India, the Mi 6X is expected to launch as the Xiaomi Mi A1 (2018) or the Mi A2 running stock Android OS.

Xiaomi Mi 6X Poster

According to the teaser image, the Xiaomi Mi 6x will have a 20MP primary camera and a 20MP front-facing camera. The smartphone has a rear-facing fingerprint scanner, like the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro. Unlike the Redmi Note 5 Pro, the Xiaomi Mi 6X/A2 will have a USB type C port for charging and data syncing. The Phone might also support fast charging.

According to a recent TENAA listing, the Xiaomi Mi 6X has a 5.99 inch IPS LCD 2160 x 1080 px display with 18:9 aspect ratio. Under the hood, the device has a 2.2 GHz Octa-core chipset, which could be the Qualcomm Snapdragon 626/660 chipset. Additionally, the device has either 4/6GB RAM with 64/128GB onboard storage.

The device has a dual 20MP and a 12MP sensor. However, the exact implementation of this dual camera setup is yet to be known. For the front-facing camera, the smartphone uses a 20MP sensor, like the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro. Additionally, the front-facing camera is likely to support Face Unlock. Lastly, the phone has a 2910 mAh battery.

Moto G6 Plus Running On The Snapdragon 660 Chipset Listed On GeekBench

The Motorola G6 series of smartphones are expected to launch in São Paulo, Brazil on the 19th of April. There has been a lot of news and rumours regarding the design, display, and the chipset used on these devices. However, according to a listing found on the latest Geekbench, the Moto G6 Plus is running on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 chipset, which contradicts with previous leaks that stated the G6 Plus will be running on the Snapdragon 630 chipset.

This looks like a typo, as the Moto G6 Plus was reported to be running on the Snapdragon 630 Octa-core chipset. The single core and multi-core points scored by the smartphone are nowhere near the scored of the Snapdragon 660 chipset. The Nokia 7 Plus, which runs on the Snapdragon 660 chipset scores 1640 points on a single core and 5827 points on multi-core performance. Whereas the Moto G6 Plus has scored 866 points on a single core and 4123 points on a multicore performance. To bring in more context, the Moto X4 running on the Snapdragon 630 chipset has scored 875 points on a single core and 4177 points on multicore performance. This almost confirms that the Moto G6 Plus will run on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 630 processor.

Left To Right: Nokia 7 Plus and Moto X4 running on the Snapdragon 660 and 630 chipsets, respectively.

According to an earlier report, The Moto G6 Plus will have a 5.93-inch 2160 x 1080p IPS LCD display with 2.5D curved tempered glass protection. Under the hood, the smartphone will be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 630 Octa-core chipset with 4GB and 6GB RAM options.

The phone will have a 12MP RGB sensor and a 5MP telephoto lens on the back. The setup is expected to be different from what we have seen so far from Moto devices. The front-facing camera is a 16MP sensor with a front-facing LED flash.

Moto G6 Leaked In Live Images Before April 19th Launch

Motorola’s G series of smartphones are some of the most anticipated budget smartphones in India. The Moto G5 Plus, launched in early-2017 still has one of the best camera performances for a budget Android device. Now, Lenovo-owned Motorola looks all set to launch the new Moto G6 series on the 19th of April at an event in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Right before the launch, new images of the Moto G6 have leaked, yet again revealing the possible design of the smartphone.

According to the leaked image, the Moto G6 will have an all-glass design, similar to the Moto X4. With this device, Motorola is moving away from the metal unibody design to offer a more premium build. The smartphone has an 18:9 aspect ratio display with FHD+ 2160 x 1080 px panel and a 5.7 inch screen size.

According to a previous leak, the phone will run on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 Octa-core chipset with 3 and 4GB RAM options. The phone will have a dual camera setup with a 12MP RGB sensor and a 5MP depth sensor and an 8MP front-facing camera.

The Moto G6 has a forward-facing fingerprint sensor, located below the Motorola branding, which might double as a one key navigation button. As of now, there is no information on pricing of these smartphones. However, considering Motorola’s pricing pattern so far, these smartphones in India will cost between Rs 12,000 to Rs 15,000.

Apple iPhone X Blush Gold Leaked In Live Images

Apple recently launched the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus (Product) RED for a starting price of US$ 649. Well before the announcement of the new red iPhones, the Apple iPhone X Blush Gold colour variant was leaked by prominent leaker Roland Quandt. Now, it looks like the launch of the iPhone X Blush Gold is imminent as images of the new colour have now surfaced online.

Every smartphone maker has to share details of a new smartphone in the making with the United States Federal Communications Commission. According to the documents obtained, the gold colour of the iPhone X was filed much before the launch of the iPhone X in September. While many of the documents were available soon after submission, external photos and other sensitive details were subject to a six-month confidentiality clause. That period is now over and the photos of the iPhone X Blush Gold have been released.

It appears that Apple had planned to launch the iPhone X in three colours, just like the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus. However, the company could have run into some manufacturing issues which led the company into canning the gold colour variant. Prior to the iPhone X launch as well, there were many rumours that claimed Apple would launch its marquee iPhone in three colour variants. Ming-Chi Kuo of KGI Securities had said that Apple was experiencing production issues for a iPhone X Blush Gold. He also suggested that the company could launch the iPhone X Blush Gold at a later date to give Apple time to work out the problems.

iPhone X Blush Gold

Interestingly, the stainless steel frame on the iPhone X Blush Gold also has a shade of gold. This could be one of the aspects of this colour variant that was causing trouble. It is worth noting that the Blush Gold iPhone 8, which has an aluminium frame was launched in time along with other colour variants.

Whether Apple will launch the iPhone X in the Blush Gold colour variant is yet to be seen. Roland Quandt had claimed that this colour variant was in production and could be launched soon. However, there has been no news since then about a possible iPhone X being launched in a Blush Gold colour.
