Google Pixel 4 Live Images Leaked Online

Google’s highly awaited flagship, the Pixel 4 is expected to be launched in the upcoming months. Following the lines of the company’s previous launches, the device will be unveiled in the month of October. Previously, Google put a rest to all ongoing rumours and speculations by revealing the design of the Pixel 4 itself. Ahead of any other announcements by the American technology company, live images of the Google Pixel 4 have surfaced online, showcasing the camera setup of the device in all its glory.

The smartphone’s rear resembled Google’s renders to a good extent. A fabric case seems to be housing the device. Apart from the aforementioned information, not a lot of details can be deduced from the image. However, sources state that the front of the Pixel 4 accommodated a dual selfie-camera, similar to the likes of the Google Pixel 3 and Pixel 3XL.

As per another report, Google may incorporate multiple sensors alongside the front camera in the Pixel 4. These may include a ToF sensor and a flood illuminator. As reported previously, Google may also revive the Project Soli, which implements a gesture-based control system using the “always aware” sensor. Music commands such as ‘Skip’ and ‘Silence’ were also found in the code of Android Q beta, indicating that media controls might also be integrated with the Pixel 4.

It is quite clear that the Pixel 4 will feature a similar camera design to the rumoured iPhone XI. The upcoming Google smartphones will have a dual camera setup; which may be comprised of a primary lens, a wide angle lens and an additional spectral sensor which keeps the light flicker in check while recording video. Since the back of the smartphone appears to fabricated out of glass, the device may support wireless charging. Furthermore, the absence of a physical fingerprint scanner on the back panel indicates that the Pixel 4 will feature an in-display fingerprint scanner. Unfortunately, the company has not divulged any other details regarding the handset yet. More information is expected to be available in the month of October when Google finally unveils the device lineup.

Motorola One Action Design, Specs Leaked

Motorola unveiled the Motorola One Vision last month and may be planning two more devices within the One series. The upcoming smartphones are being dubbed the Motorola One Action and Motorola One Pro.

Samsung Galaxy Tab A 2019 Leaked Via Android Enterprise Listing

South Korean electronics giant is one of the remaining few Android tablet manufacturers. Despite the sharp decline in the sales of Android tablets over the past few years, devices from the company have seen a positive response from the market. The company launched its latest tablet device, the Galaxy Tab S5e back in the month of February. Now, a new Samsung tablet called the Galaxy Tab A 2019 has made an appearance on the Android Enterprise website which suggests its launch is imminent.

Samsung Galaxy Tab A 2019

The Samsung Galaxy Tab A 2019 will be the company’s latest budget tablet offering. According to the listing on Android Enterprise website, the device has an 8-inch display with a resolution of 1280 x 800. The images attached to the listing reveal the display on the tablet is surrounded by considerable bezels on all sides. There is no physical fingerprint scanner on the device, which might mean users will have to rely on traditional unlocking methods; such as numerical pin, passwords and pattern.

Galaxy Tab S4

The Samsung Galaxy Tab A has been leaked to run on the 12nm Snapdragon 429 SoC. The chipset is comprised of an Octa-core CPU and the Adreno 504 GPU. For memory and storage, the device will have 2GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. The images reveal there will be a single selfie camera placed on the top bezel above the display.

Google Pixel 4 To Support Air Gestures For Music Playback

It is expected that Google will launch the latest iterations of its Pixel lineup of smartphones in October this year. These devices, allegedly called the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL will be the successor to the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL from last year. While the launch of the devices is a few months down the road, details about them have already started pouring in. Now, fresh leaks in the Android Q source code reveals that the upcoming Pixel 4 handsets may have the support for Air Gestures, presumably for music playback.

Air Gestures in Pixel 4

Google Pixel 3XL

According to reports, Google is working to incorporate air gestures in Pixel 4. This is believed to be because of two commands named ‘Skip’ and ‘Silence’ found in the code of the Android Q Beta. Likely to be media controls, the commands may be enabled via dedicated hardware detecting the user’s hand movements. As the Pixel lineup is the poster child for Android and all its core features; it is assumed that the gestures might make an appearance in the next generation of the smartphones. The new gestures will require an always aware sensor present inside the Pixel 4.

Google installing air gestures in Pixel 4 falls in line with the company reviving its Project Soli, which was first shown off in the year 2015. Soli showcased a gesture-based control system for electronic devices. So the company may install the technology required for the gesture system to work on smartphones. A similar implementation was seen in the LG G8, which utilised a Time of Flight (ToF) sensor to capture hand movements for controlling certain elements of the device. Unfortunately, more details about the Pixel 4 are not available yet, but it is expected that more information is unravelled; as we move closer to the launch of the handsets in October.

iPhone XR 2019 Battery Capacity Leaked

American electronics giant Apple is expected to launch three new variants of its popular smartphone; the Apple iPhone later this year. The devices will be the successor to the iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max and the iPhone XR from last year. While there is still time before the handsets are officially announced by the company; new information about them has been surfacing online for a while now. In a fresh leak, a Korean media outlet has revealed the battery capacity of the most affordable iPhone to be released this year, the alleged iPhone XR 2019.

iPhone XR 2019

iPhone XR

According to the media outlet, the successor to the iPhone XR, which is purportedly called the iPhone XR 2019 will have a larger battery than its predecessor. It has been revealed that the smartphone will have a 3110mAh battery; which is around a 5 percent improvement over the 2942mAh cell found in the current generation of iPhone XR. The larger battery will make the device have the biggest battery in any single-celled iPhone; as the more premium variants have two different cells attached to each other for a combined larger capacity. The report also mentions that China’s Ameperx Technology Limited (ATL) has started mass production of the batteries for the iPhone XR 2019. The production was kicked off on June 9, with the packaging being done by another Chinese firm known as Huapu Technology.

The iPhone XR, when launched last year, was praised for its battery life as it used a lower resolution LCD display compared to OLED found in its elder siblings. Increasing the capacity of its successor insinuates that the iPhone XR 2019 may be another battery champ; among the slew of iPhones scheduled to release this year. The upcoming affordable iPhone has been leaked to arrive with two new colours, dual rear cameras and run on the Apple A13 SoC at the same price as its predecessor. Unfortunately, more details about the handset are not known at the moment, but they are expected to be unravelled as we move closer to the device launch.

Sony Working On Smartphone With Six Rear Cameras

In the past few years, the race to put an extravagant number of cameras in a smartphone has increased significantly. From installing triple rear cameras in the P20 Pro to having a quad camera set up at the back as seen in the P30 Pro and Samsung Galaxy S10 5G; the competition seems to be just heating up. HMD Global’s Nokia upped the ante by providing Penta rear cameras in the Nokia 9 PureView earlier this year. Now, according to a reliable gadget tipster, Japanese electronics giant Sony is working on an Xperia smartphone with six cameras at the back.

Sony Xperia Hexa Camera Smartphone

https://twitter.com/Samsung_News_/status/1138162759105961984?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1138162759105961984%7Ctwgr%5E393039363b636f6e74726f6c&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.91mobiles.com%2Fhub%2Fsony-xperia-phone-six-rear-cameras%2F

According to the tipster, who goes by the name Max J. on microblogging website Twitter; Sony is working on a new Xperia smartphone which will feature six camera lenses at its back. To enhance the front facing videos and photos, the device will also have a dual camera set up on the front taking the total number of cameras in the handset to eight. This will make the rumoured smartphone first in the world to sport a total of eight cameras; taking the mantle from the aforementioned Nokia 9 PureView with a combined six cameras on the device.

While the idea of six cameras in a smartphone sounds exciting, the tipster claims the device from Sony is still in development. This means it may take a while before any details about the specifications or how the camera sensors on the handset would work are revealed. Currently, the highest number of sensors in any Sony Xperia smartphone belongs to the Xperia 1 flagship launched back in the month of February. The device has a total of three cameras at the back and a single lens on the front.

Battery Capacity Of The Upcoming Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Series Revealed

Samsung is known for launching its Galaxy Note series smartphones at the end of summer every year. Going by the same launch cycle, the South Korean company’s upcoming flagship, the Galaxy Note 10 is expected to be unveiled in the month of August 2019. Ahead of its official announcement, rumours regarding the device have started to surface. For instance, the company is planning to introduce at least two Note models this year, which are the Note 10 and the Note 10 Pro. Leaks suggest that both the devices will pack a 4,170 mAh battery.

Galaxy Note 10 Pro Renders

As per sources, the model numbers for the Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10 Pro will be SM-N975 and SM-N976 respectively. Reports further state that the model numbers were attributed to a single model with 4G and 5G support respectively. In terms of specifications, the Galaxy Note 10 is expected to feature a 6.4-inch Dynamic AMOLED screen. In terms of storage, the device packs 128 GB ROM for the base variant. It is most likely to be powered by a 4,170 mAh battery with support for 45W fast charging, although rumours regarding 25W fast charging have also surfaced.

On the other hand, the specced-up variant of the Note 10, the Note 10 Pro will feature a larger 6.8 inch AMOLED display and the same 4,170 mAh battery present in its younger sibling. The Pro version would pack 256GB of internal storage for the base variant, with an option to expand to 1TB of ROM. Since a larger display will consume more battery, the battery life of the Note 10 Pro will definitely undercut that of the Galaxy Note 10.

Under the hood, the Note 10 series smartphones are expected to run on the 7nm Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 chipset or the Exynos 9825, depending on the region. As previously reported, the devices will feature quad rear cameras, out of which three would be accommodated in a vertical module. In terms of the front camera, a camera sensor housed in the centre-mounted hole-punch would be used to click selfies. Moreover, the Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10 Pro will most likely be Samsung’s first flagship (except the Galaxy Fold) to not include the 3.5mm audio jack. The devices are expected to be unveiled in the month of August 2019.

Google Pixel 4 Renders Leaked On Twitter

Google’s flagship smartphone, the Pixel series, are now caught amidst various rumours. Leaks across the internet showcase entirely different form factors and design. One of the most reliable sources from which information can be gathered is from a leakster OnLeaks on Twitter. Google had recently launched its mid-range handsets, the Pixel 3a and 3a XL. Anticipation regarding its upcoming flagship smartphones lineup has been building up nearing its announcement in October. The famous leakster OnLeaks (on Twitter) leaked out planned schematics of the Pixel 4. The 5K renders of the latest Pixel flagship are claimed to be based on prototypes and might undergo slight changes before its actual launch.

And here comes your very first glimpse at the #Google #Pixel4 in form of gorgeous 5K renders based upon early prototyping schematics, on behalf of my Friends over @Pricebaba -> https://t.co/gjbtMlybdg (Please read the full story before reacting in order to make educated comments) pic.twitter.com/ZZAiseB9WP
— Steve H.McFly (@OnLeaks) June 10, 2019

The most notable aspect of the renders points at the square camera module, similar to the leaked Apple iPhone XI renders. Google Pixel smartphones are known for their class-leading camera capabilities with its single camera sensor setup. The new leaks have pointed to a dual and, quite possibly, a triple camera module at the rear. This will be the first multi-camera function utilized on the Google Pixel. Renders also highlight the lack of a fingerprint sensor, that is traditionally placed on the back of the company’s smartphones.

The American company might be going for 3D face recognition tech in addition to in-display fingerprint sensor with the Google Pixel 4. Due to an earpiece being seen in the renders, it is safe to assume a notch will be present this year as well. Two speaker grills are seen on the sides of the USB Type-C port, ditching its front-facing speakers seen in previous iterations. Physical buttons for volume and power can be found on the right side of the device with the left being devoid of any seams. Similar to its predecessors, the Google Pixel skips out on the 3.5mm headphone jack.

Specifications

Finer details regarding the Google Pixel 4 and any of its variants are yet to be discerned. Being a flagship grade device, it is most likely to be equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 SoC which is one of the few options for high end SoCs. The device from the search engine giant might finally cross the 4GB RAM threshold with alleged benchmarks of 6GB variants being seen. Since it is a Google flagship handset, it is destined to ship with the latest version of Android OS which will be Android Q at the time of launch.

LG’s Budget Smartphone Lineup To Be Called The W Series

It was reported a few days ago that Korean smartphone OEM LG is looking forward to introducing an exclusive, online-only handset series in India. This was seen as a move to regain the market share lost to Chinese rivals such as Xiaomi, Realme and Honor. Unfortunately, no other details about the devices were known at the moment. Now, a known gadget tipster has revealed; that the upcoming lineup of smartphones from LG will fall under the W series and will be exclusively sold via Amazon.

LG W Series

As mentioned above, the W series from LG will fall under a new, budget lineup of smartphones that will be exclusively available online. The leaked images of the device reveal that it will have an all-glass design on the front and back; with an attractive gradient coloured rear panel. To maximise the screen real estate, a waterdrop style notch like one found on the Samsung Galaxy M20 will also be present on the handset. For biometric security and quickly accessing the smartphone, a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor will also make an appearance.

The tipster further claims the LG W series or the top tier smartphone in the lineup to be precise will run on the 12nm MediaTek Helio P60 SoC. The chipset is comprised of an Octa-core CPU and the Mali-G72 MP3 GPU. In terms of optics, the device has been revealed to have a triple rear camera setup, details of which are unknown at the moment. A single front-facing camera can also be seen in the waterdrop notch on top of the display.

The LG W series will be powered by a 4000mAh battery as confirmed by the leaked promotional images of the smartphone. It also has been revealed to sport the company’s Boombox speaker technology first seen with the LG G7 launched last year. It is expected that the company will announce more than one device in the lineup; however, details about the top end handset only seem to have been leaked. Unfortunately, it is not known when LG will launch the W series in the Indian market, but the increasing intensity of the leaks suggest its launch is imminent. The aforementioned smartphone is rumoured to be priced at Rs. 12,999 at the time of launch.

Microsoft Xbox 2020 Leaked To Arrive In Two Variants

Shortly after Project Scarlett was announced at the E3 Gaming Convention 2019, leaks and rumours have shrouded Microsoft’s upcoming gaming console in mystery. The next iteration of the Xbox is expected to define a new era in console gaming. For instance, it is speculated that the upcoming Xbox will support 8K gaming, 120 fps and ray tracing technology. Microsoft has named it Project Scarlett, and more information regarding the gaming console is expected to be available soon. However, a user on social media website Reddit has revealed some key information regarding the upcoming Xbox.

The leaks state that the next generation gaming console will officially be named the Xbox V. Furthermore, the company will announce not one, but two consoles and the specced-up variant of the Xbox V will be called the Xbox VX. Where the toned down variant of Microsoft’s gaming console is speculated to be priced at US$ 400 (~INR 27,800), the Xbox VX will most likely be priced at US$ 500 (~INR 34,800).

The Xbox V will not include a disk drive, which explains the lower pricing of the same. Additionally, the console will also compromise on some other hardware specifications, implying that Microsoft wants to take on the cheaper variant of Sony’s PlayStation 5 when it will be announced. On the other hand, the more powerful Xbox VX will feature an inbuilt disk drive, 4K support, and a Blu-Ray reader. Both variants of the Xbox will have 1TB of internal storage by default. The 2TB variant of both consoles will be priced at US$ 100 more than the price of the base variants.

The leak source further states that Microsoft has some exclusive game titles that are lined up for a later release. However, the American company may not unveil any information regarding the games anytime soon since it is more focused on strengthening its current lineup of games. Lastly, the speculated Xbox V and Xbox VX are expected to be released in the month of November 2020. Going by the leaks, the project was named Scarlet but infact the code names of both the consoles are “Lockhart” and “Anaconda”. Note that the information mentioned above is solely based on a leak, so it’s wise that it should be taken with a grain of salt. Nonetheless, a clash of the consoles is apparent in 2020, so interested fans might just have to wait.

HTC To Launch A Mid Range Smartphone Called The U19e On The 11th Of June

Taiwanese electronics giant HTC has seen better days. Once a force to be reckoned with, the company has seen its smartphones sales decline sharply over the last few years.
