Apple iPhone X Plus Display Image Leaked

A leak claims that the upcoming Apple iPhone X Plus might have a 6.5-inch edge-to-edge display. The overall design is similar to that of the original Apple iPhone X. The tipster claims that these photos have been obtained from LG facility in Vietnam. The tipster also claims that the poster is the part of “production equipment trail run”.

This also confirms that the Apple will source the OLED displays from LG rather than Samsung. Though the screen digitizer found on the display offers a bigger form factor. However, the notch size remains the same.

What to expect from 2018 iPhone lineup?

2018 will see three new iPhones being launched at the Apple annual launch event. One of them will be the 2018 iPhone X, iPhone X Plus and an iPhone X SE. Interestingly, the naming of the upcoming smartphones suggests that the successor to the iPhone SE will indeed be a large iPhone that has design elements similar to the iPhone X.

Kuo claims the 2018 iPhone X will again start at US$ 1000, the iPhone X Plus will be priced higher (likely US$ 1200-US$ 1350) while the iPhone X SE will be priced at around US$ 700-US$ 800.

The iPhone X 2018 (tentative name) will have the same 5.8 inch OLED display found on the current iPhone X. It will have a 2,700 to 2,800mAh battery, supplied primarily by Unimicron. The 2018 iPhone X will also be powered by a new chipset and is expected to feature advanced Face ID.

iPhone SE 2 Concept

The iPhone X Plus will have a 6.5-inch OLED display in a body that might not be much bigger than the iPhone 8 Plus’. It is expected to have a 3,400 to 3,500 mAh battery supplied Unimicron.

Apple iPhone X SE?

The Apple iPhone X SE will be the successor to the original Apple iPhone SE. The iPhone X SE will have a 6.1 inch LCD display with a design similar to the iPhone X. This means that Face ID will be introduced in this smartphone as well.

The iPhone X SE will be powered by the latest chipset, just like the iPhone SE was. However, unlike the 2018 iPhone X and iPhone X Plus, it won’t feature wireless charging. It will also miss out on 3D Touch.

Xiaomi Mi Mix 2s Specifications Leaked

Xiaomi has officially confirmed that the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2s will be unveiled in China on the 27th of March. A new live image of the smartphone has surfaced online, which sheds some light on the specifications of the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2s. In fact, the leaked image doesn’t say anything new, but it re-assures the already available information.

The Xiaomi Mi Mix 2s might be the third smartphone after the Galaxy S9 and Xperia Xz2 to launch with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chipset. The specifications of the device are in-line with the other flagship smartphones of 2018.

Specifications:

The Xiaomi Mi Mix 2s has a 6.01-inch 2160 x 1080px IPS LCD display with a corner notch. The main difference between the original Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 and the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2s is the placement of the front-facing camera. The Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 didn’t have a notch. However, the front-facing camera was placed on an unusual bottom right corner. Similarly, the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2s’s camera is on the top right corner, which is an ideal place.

Under the hood, the smartphone is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage. Like the original version, we might not see a dedicated micro SD card slot or a 3.5 mm headphone jack. The device has a dual camera setup with a 16 MP primary sensor. However, there isn’t much information on the secondary sensor.

— Xiaomi (@Xiaomi) February 25, 2018

The smartphone will run on Android 8 Oreo OS with custom MIUI skin on the top. The Xiaomi Mi Mix 2s has a massive 4400 mAh battery with possible support for Quick charge 4.0.

Conclusion:

One thing remains unclear about the smartphone despite the leaked image. The live image misses out on the tiny notch, that we have seen on the previously leaked press renders. Considering the specifications, the Mi Mix 2s looks like a great prospect especially with Xiaomi’s pricing strategy in mind.

The single front-facing camera will also support face unlock. Interestingly, the company has used “Face ID” to describe its facial recognition system. Face ID is what Apple calls its facial recognition system on the iPhone X.

The glass back panel comes with a maze finish with support for NFC connectivity. The smartphone comes with a 4000 mAh Li-ion battery with fast charging support via USB type C Port.

The image also mentions the presence of AI. Along with shrinking bezels and increasing price, many people believe that the integration of AI will be the next big thing in the smartphone industry. Therefore, we will see more smartphones with emphasis on AI in the coming weeks.

New LG G6 Renders Show That Modular Design is Not for LG

LG may have had a fantastic idea for modular phones in 2016. But, in failing to execute it well, it seems that the Sort Korean electronics giant is ready to drop it’s modular design for the next generation of LG flagship the G6. New leaked renders of the LG G6 show an all new design of the smartphone. taking design hues from the LG V20 and keeping a lot of the design of the LG G5.

The renders show off a unibody design with a color scheme to match the new iPhone jet black color, with a glossy black finish. LG has played with self healing paint in the past and the company might implement this on the LG G6 as well, to take care of the notorious scratches that the iPhone Jet Black color is known for.

The LG G6 is also expected to be water resistant and offer a 5.3 in QHD display mixed with newer chipsets like the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 and 6 GB of RAM. LG will also launch the phone early March to stand against the Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus.

iPhone 7 Concept Renders Show the Device without a Headphone Jack

It’s perhaps inevitable now. We may just see a new era of technology where headphone jacks are a thing of the past. It has been rumoured, among other things, that Apple will ditch the 3.5mm headphone jack in its upcoming iPhone 7. Instead, we may just see Lightning connected headphones and wireless headphones. If you’ve been wondering how the new iPhone could look minus the headphone jack, some new renders have graciously hit the internet to tease your imagination.

These renders are only meant to show an iPhone without the 3.5mm headphone jack and is no indication of the iPhone 7’s final look. indeed, it is still too early for that. The renders focus on the bottom edge of the phone that adds a second speaker grill instead of the headphone jack.

One of the possible reason behind ditching the headphone jack is Apple interest in improving quality of music streaming, since streaming is Apple’s game right now. Furthermore, the loss of a headphone jack means more space for Apple to add a larger battery to the iPhone 7, as well as make the device thinner. We’ll just have to wait and see how this strategy plays out.

Silver Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Appears in Render

We get a lot of renders and live images of major flagship phones days before their official launch. The hype behind Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S7 was always expected to be huge and this in effect would lead to a lot of leaked renders and images to please eager fans until the official unveiling.

Trust Evan Blass of @evleaks to post a render of the Galaxy S7 to please his followers. The render shows the Galaxy S7 in silver colour and it looks great. Agreed, it’s but a render, but we’d take a good looking render any day over a poorly lit live image.

The render shows the curved edge side of the device with the volume controls on the left and a new Galaxy S7 wallpaper. Now, @evleaks did not confirm this to be the Galaxy S7 Edge but it is pretty clear from the image that it is.

Samsung quite certainly looks to keep the Galaxy S7’s design language similar to its predecessors, which is not a bad thing at all. The render of the device looks positively great and a bump in specs will make the Galaxy S7 the flagship to beat this year. In a few days we will know everything about the deice at the MWC.

New iPhone 6c Renders Show Possible Colour Variants

The rumour mill has been working around the clock on its speculations of what to expect from Apple this year. The latest update we have is in the form of new renders of iPhone 6c.These renders are created by Ferry Passchier and suggest more variety in the design department. Following suit with iPhone 5c, 6c can also come sporting a varied colour palette.

In terms of design, there have been various rumours so far but it remains unknown whether the iPhone 6c will follow the aluminum iPhone 5S design or the candy-colored polycarbonate iPhone 5c. We’re leaning towards the latter as some colourful polycarbonate frame will be a welcome sight rather than the usual colours of silver, space grey, gold, and rose gold.

Some rumours have also suggested that the miniature iPhone will not come with a physical home button and will also ditch the 3D Touch feature, which makes sense if Apple is going for a cheaper device. We can hope to see the device in March this year, when Apple is expected to unveil it along with the second gen Apple Watch. Come March, 2016 and we’ll see how close have we hit the mark with these rumours.

OnePlus 3 Specs Revealed In New Render

While OnePlus is re-strategizing its marketing program, the rumour mills are already churning out leaks about an upcoming OnePlus 3. A new render of the alleged phone reveals key design changes, and that the company might be looking to bring about in its next smartphone.

The images show a brushed metal back instead of the usual sandstone panels that OnePlus has used even for its iPhone 6s/6s Plus cover. However, it’s not like the company hasn’t already abandoned the use of a sandstone type panel, as we have seen that the OnePlus X arrived with a glass and ceramic body.

Since, one can’t see a fingerprint scanner in the render, reports speculate other means of unlocking such as an iris scanner to be incorporated in the upcoming handset. The new OnePlus might also feature a front speaker. The render shows that the handset could possibly come in two different colours.

This render’s source also reveals a little about the hardware and display citing that the handset could arrive with the Snapdragon 820 chipset and a 1080p display resolution. As of now, the company itself has not revealed anything about its upcoming device, so the render along with all the information should not be taken at face value.

Xiaomi’s Mi 5 Might Arrive With a Home Button In January 2016

A new render of the upcoming Xiaomi Mi 5 has been leaked showcasing a first ever, physical home button. Earlier, there were speculations of the device incorporating Qualcomm’s ultrasound fingerprint scanner. The reason why we don’t see the fingerprint scanner is because, an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner doesn’t require sensors or buttons, and can be embedded under the phone’s screen itself.

The report about the fingerprint scanner was revealed by analyst Pan Jiutang, who further reports that the company has found Qualcomm’s fingerprint scanner to be unstable.Therefore, if Xiaomi decides to use a traditional fingerprint reader, it will most likely be embedded under the home button.

However, this isn’t the only piece of information that the render reveals. It also says that the Xiaomi Mi 5 may be unveiled on the 21st of January 2016, with the actual launch taking place sometime in February. As of now, speculation suggests that the device will be equipped with a 5.2-inch display, powered by the Snapdragon 820 SoC, will offer a version of Force Touch, and Android 6.0 is expected to be pre-installed. The Weibo post also reveals that the smartphone will arrive in two variants, one of which will be priced at $311 and the other at $389. What could the massive price difference mean?

New Leak Reveals OnePlus Mini’s Specifications

Today, a AnTuTu benchmark run revealed a device allegedly called the OnePlus A2301. According to further reports, this phone could be the second device that OnePlus is expected to release this year after the OnePlus 2.

The device is touted to be called the OnePlus Mini. It comes with 2GB of RAM, powered by a MediaTek MT6795T processor running at 2.2GHz and a PowerVR Rogue G6200 series GPU. It has an internal storage capacity of 32GB and also comes with a 13MP rear camera. However, the site does not mention anything about the screen size but if this is the OnePlus Mini then it will definitely be smaller than the 5 inch screen of the OnePlus 2.

It is also expected to have a 1920 x 1080p resolution, a Type-C USB 3.0 connector and a fingerprint reader at the back. The operating system according to the AnTuTu benchmark tests could be the Android 5.1.1 Lollipop with the Oxygen OS on top of Android. The render further suggests that this handset will also come with a 2 camera set and dual-LED flash below it.

Price wise it should be lower than the OnePlus 2, however all this information is based on the AnTuTu releases and nothing has been confirmed by the Chinese vendor itself.

Blackberry London gets leaked yet again with details, Slim Savior for RIM?

This to-be (or not to be ) image of the Blackberry London has some promising features to its tail. According to Crackberry the image is the correct render of the said device. More information including Blackberry 10 and support for possible Android Apps comes courtesy the image. First look states that the device is exceptionally slim, yet it retains the Blackberry build feel. It supposedly will run on a dual core 1.5GHz processor made by either Texas Instruments ( TiOmap) or Qualcomm.

We should expect dual cameras ( or see them in the image) 8 Mp + 2MP along with features like autofocus and full hd recording. The device should also feature Android Apps and a better experience to the dying numbers of Blackberry lovers. Could this be RIM’s answer to the iPhone and Android?

New Software Allows Unlimited Detail In Games

Computer games have come a long way since the days of Pacman and Mario. In today’s day, all the cool 3D graphics that you see are made up of polygons. Polygons are nothing but flat images that are joined together to create an object in 3D. The higher the number of polygons, the greater the viewing detail.

Game developers have been trying very hard for a number of years to increase the polygon count in the games they make. However, computers face a problem when it comes to increased polygon counts. The higher the number of polygons, the greater processing power it takes to render all those polygons. Its because of this limitation that you will find games that have superb detail on one side of an object, while the other side is just a plain texturized image. Putting a cap on the number of polygons leads to a lot of compromises: You want a super detailed character? No problem, but then your world will look bland.

An Australian company called Euclideon has developed a game engine that does away with polygons and instead replaces them with point clouds that are made up of individual ‘atoms’. So doesn’t increasing the number of objects on screen slow down everything? Well you’d think so but the company says that it has made it work and your computer will make it work too. The company has developed a 1 sq km island using their game engine and each speck of dirt on that island is made up of millions of these ‘atoms’ per cubic inch.

The plus side to this is that the graphics are amazing. Simply put, polygons just cant cope with the kind of quality that the Euclideon ‘atoms’ can create. The curves that are generated with the ‘atoms’ are amazingly smooth and the level of detail is through the roof. You can quite literally see each individual grain of sand. In the next few years, computer games are going to make a huge leap forward in terms of graphics and we’re very exited about this technology and can’t wait for the company to deliver this game engine into the hands of game developers. Watch the video below for a demo of the engine in action:
