Another report that suggested that the 6P will be available in 32 GB, 64 GB and 128 GB storage options has also been confirmed.

The design of the Nexus 6P is what you have come to expect after seeing the leaked images. The phone indeed has a black bar on the rear that houses the camera.

The phone will come in four colour variants of silver, black, white and gold.

The Nexus 6P features a 5.7-inch QHD touchscreen, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 810 chipset, with 3 GB RAM, and a USB Type-C port. The camera sports a 12.3MP sensor at the rear and a rather impressive 8MP on the front. Pre-orders will be available starting Tuesday in US, UK, Ireland, Canada, and Japan. We do not yet know when the device will come to India.

The main highlights of the Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P is the Nexus Imprint, the fingerprint sensor which boasts of fast, fluid fingerprint accessibility, and the rear camera which features a 1.55 micron pixels which is greater than the iPhone 6s Plus.

LG Releases Teaser For an Upcoming Phone With an Asymmetrical Screen

Yesterday, LG released its first teaser for a new smartphone. The first thing we notice about this phone is its unusual screen. Basically it has added an additional smaller screen on top of the regular one.

Take a look at the teaser:

This feature had however, been leaked earlier in September, but this teaser confirms its existence. The leak showed the additional ticker next to the front dual cameras, and above the regular screen. This feature however, give the phone an asymmetrical look when turned off.

Nothing more has been revealed in the teaser about the new LG smartphone’s specs. However, @evleaks had previously leaked that the handset could possible arrive with a 5.7 inch QHD screen, powered by the Snapdragon 808, with an internal storage of 64GB with a micro SD card and a 3GB of RAM. It’s primary camera is expected to be a 16MP one along with a 5MP front camera.

This unnamed LG device is scheduled to be unveiled on the 1st of October, 2015.

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.

Xiaomi Mi 4c Will Not Launch In India

Xiaomi unveiled its Mi 4c yesterday at Rs.13,500 and after studying its specs we soon realised that it was a whole lot like the OnePlus 2 and could be Xiaomi’s unofficial response to its competition. However, unlike most Chinese vendor smartphones that eventually get released in India a little later, Xiaomi’s India rep confirmed to iGyaan that this phone will not get released in India. Despite that, let us have a look at its features since it’s OnePlus’ new competitor.

The phone features a 5-inch 1080p display and the ‘Sunlight Display’ is said to offer “excellent visibility in bright conditions”. The phone comes with a 13-megapixel primary camera with face detection autofocus – like the iPhone 6 and Galaxy S6 – for quicker autofocusing. The smartphone will be available in two variants – 16 GB internal with 2 GB RAM and 64 GB internal with 3 GB RAM.

In the camera department, the Mi 4c and OnePlus 2 stand on even grounds, at least on paper. However, the Mi 4c boasts of a better camera quality using the same autofocus technology as the iPhone 6 and Galaxy S6. For a low budget phone, the Mi 4c also packs a powerful 64-bit Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 hexa-core processor.

Here are the specs:

Specs	Xiaomi Mi 4c
Display	5-inch, IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen,
Resolution	1,080 x 1,920 pixels, 441 ppi

Here’s Why the Upcoming LG Nexus 5X Comes with Snapdragon 808

You may be aware that the Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 and Snapdragon 810 processors were announced last year. Since then the processors have been slowly making its way into smartphones, with LG G4 being the first smartphone to use the Snapdragon 808. The recent China-only Xiaomi Mi 4c also sports the 808 as its SoC and the upcoming Nexus 5X will feature the same.

But what exactly does the Snapdragon 808 deliver? We’ve decided to provide a deeper understanding into the specs of the processor to show just what it is capable of delivering.

Right off the bat, the Snapdragon 808 features a high performing CPU that clocks in around 2000 MHz, with 6 cores that result in faster mutli-tasking. The processor is also able to reduce energy consumption as it couples slower, low power processor cores with faster, high-power processor cores. The big or faster cores are used for computation-intensive tasks such as gaming.

The GPU is a significant upgrade from the previous 801 processor. While the 801 had an Adreno 330 GPU, the 808 features an Adreno 418 GPU, which delivers better graphics by creating larger blocks of data. Some of the devices that feature the Snapdragon 808 are LG G4, LG Nexus 5X, Xiaomi Mi Edge, and Xiaomi Mi 4c to name a few. Here’s a spec table that will tell you all you need to know about the Snapdragon 808 processor.

CPU	Dual-core ARM Cortex A57 up to 2 GHz and quad-core A53 with 64-bit support
GPU	Adreno 418 GPU
DSP	Hexagon V56 DSP (up to 800MHz)
RAM Interface	933 MHz 64-bit LP-DDR3 SDRAM interface
Connectivity	USB 3.0/2.0, Bluetooth 4.1, Wi-Fi Qualcomm VIVE™ 2-stream 802.11n/ac with MU-MIMO
Primary Camera Support	55 MP
Display Resolution Support	2560 x 1600 pixels
Process Technology	20 nm

Xiaomi unveiled the China-only Mi 4c today and the mid-range phone packs serious specs that can take on some big names. The Mi 4c boasts of an improved Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 processor and a Type-C USB support.

The Mi 4c, though priced at a very low Rs. 13,500 (approx.), can hold its own when compared to the OnePlus 2. In the camera department, the Mi 4c and OnePlus 2 stand on even grounds, at least on paper. However, the Mi 4c boasts of a better camera quality using the same autofocus technology as the iPhone 6 and Galaxy S6. For a low budget phone, the Mi 4c also packs a powerful 64-bit Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 hexa-core processor.

The highlight of the Mi 4c is no doubt a powerful SoC, which is usually seen in high-end phones like LG G4. The Mi 4c will be available in white, grey, pink, yellow, and blue colours. No word yet on when the phone will come to India.

Huawei’s Upcoming Nexus Might Come With a 5.7-inch Display

We bring you more rumours about the Huawei Nexus 6 (codename: Angler) just as it gets ready to launch alongside the LG Nexus 5X on the 29th of September 2015. New reports suggest that details about the Huawei Angler were spotted on a site called GFXBench.

Here is a picture of the leaked table :

According to this leaked image of the specifications the new handset could sport a 5.7 inch display with Quad HD resolution of 2,560 x 1,440 pixels. The Angler is also expected to come with a Snapdragon 810, 3GB of RAM and up to 24GB of storage. Apart from all this it is also expected to run on the latest Android 6.0 Marshmallow and could come with a 12MP rear camera with 2160p video. The selfie camera is expected to be at 8MP.

These specs honestly seem quite moderate. It’s not something Samsung or any other mainstream vendor cannot offer. The only way we can judge this smartphone is after the price is announced. Pre-orders are expected to begin two weeks after the unveiling. But, till then that’s all we’ve got.

HTC One A9 Expected to Come with Android Marshmallow Out of the Box

Some new information on the planned HTC One A9 (Hima Aero) release has emerged. According to latest leaks by @evleaks, the mid-range smartphone is set to have a Qualcomm Snapdragon 617 chipset.

We had earlier mentioned about rumors about HTC’s ‘dual-flagship’ launch on the 29th of September, and had revealed rumored specs on both the HTC One A9 and the HTC Butterfly 3. New rumors on the HTC One A9 specs, however, seem to suggest that the smartphone will most likely battle the OnePlus 2 and Zenfone 2 rather than Samsung and Apple.

Earlier in the month some big specs were floating about suggesting that the HTC One A9 will feature a 5.5-inch QuadHD display, MediaTek Helio 10-core X20 processor, and 4GB of RAM. While some remain true as of today, new rumors suggest that the smartphone will now have a 5-inch FHD AMOLED display, and 2GB of RAM instead.

Other features leaked by Blass include 16GB of expandable storage, 13-megapixel camera (4 UltraPixel front), 2150mAh battery, a fingerprint sensor, and a metal design. It is also revealed by @LlabTooFer that the phone will run on Android 6.0 Marshmallow OS with custom UI Sense v7.0 out-of-the-box.

With the launch rumored to be pushed to November, we’ll have to wait and see if HTC can bounce back with its mid-range smartphone. Follow this space for more on the HTC event.

iPhone 6s Vs iPhone 6s Plus: What is the Real Difference?

We have also seen much of a difference between the previous year’s iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. For example, the iPhone 6 came with a 4.7-inch display while the 6 Plus came with a 5.5-inch one. Apart from this, the 6 Plus also came with a higher resolution and pixel density, a longer battery life and most importantly the camera that came with the optical image stabilizing technology.

What’s the big difference between the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus?

The iPhone 6 and 6 Plus had come out with a mind blowing storage capacity of up to 128GB for the high-end models of its two new handsets. Is the iPhone 6s Plus any different? No it isn’t. It comes with the same storage options. But we already told you that before.

Here’s a detailed spec table showing you minor or major differences, if any:

The iPhone 6s Finally Makes Its Tech Carpet Entry

The moment has arrived, when Apple finally reveals its iPhone 6s smartphone. We have been covering all sorts of rumours and reports about this handset the moment we got wind of it. Price, display, specifications and software – we’ve heard it all, and now is that moment of truth where we find out what this hype is all about and most importantly, whether it’s been worth it. Their opening statement is this:

“The only thing that’s changed is everything.”

Let’s start with the most obvious – the price. Earlier reports suggested that the iPhone 6s would arrive at around 699 euros which is Rs.52,084 approximately, for the 16GB version, 799 euros which is Rs.59,529 approximately, for the 64GB version and 899 euros which is Rs.66,980 approximately for the 128GB version. Here are the final numbers: the 16GB version is priced at $199, the 64GB version is $299 and the 128GB version is $399.

Few exciting things we now know about the new iPhone is that they will feature animated wallpapers and that the Rose Gold colour variant we were anticipating is here! Now it’s up to you if you think rose gold is fashionable enough for you, because the ‘cool’ new iPhone definitely thinks it is.

It comes with a brand new glass encasing this time, with the Ion-X and not the usual Sapphire Glass, and a new Taptic Engine which can be used to navigate the UI.

So, it was said that the new iPhone will have an updated 3D Force Touch technology – meaning that the sensors would be taking into account three different types of touch rather than two. This is also true. Apple has confirmed the 3D Force Touch feature, that makes photos, emails, Messages, etc pop up on your display. You just need to press on an app to jump right into a feature. This feature also allows you to use apps and be active on them without even opening them.

They’ve also mentioned that the phone will be running on the new iOS 9 and the smartphone will come integrated with the new A9 chip.

Let’s talk about something that the iPhone is most applauded for – its camera. The iPhone 6 Plus has had an 8MP camera with an optical image stabilization feature that made it the phone with game changing photography abilities. Well, the iPhone 6s is better than that – it has an all new iSight 12MP camera with deep trench isolation. That’s it. iPhone just won. The 12MP camera will now allow you to record videos in 4K resolution.

That was the rear camera, but the iPhone’s front camera, which is as big a star as the primary camera, now comes at 5 megapixels and full HD resolution, allowing better FaceTime and selfie opportunities to users. The front camera also comes with a true tone Retina Flash feature. The 3D Touch feature also extends itself into the still camera pictures by animating the photos into video, called Live Photos, which can also have sound.

“These are regular photos — we extend the capture moment just before and after.”

Speaking about connectivity the iPhone 6s comes with 2X faster WiFi and 23 LTE bands. They’ve also mentioned that the new iCloud storage pricing will be as follows: 50gb for 99 cents a months, 200GB for 2.99/mot 1TB for 9.99/mo.

Now in the midst of all this they’ve also announced a small little ‘neighborly app’ that allows Android users to switch to the iPhone’s iOS.

“You can recycle your Android phone for free at any Apple Store,” says the app.

To conclude, we can accumulate all the major features and say that the iPhone 6s comes with the 3D Force Touch technology, is made with a 7000 series aluminum body and a new cover glass, a 64 bit A9 chip with M9, a second gen touch ID, has an advanced LTE and faster Wi-Fi, 12MP iSight camera with 4K Video, 5MP FaceTime HD resolution with retina flash and Live Photos. Phew.

The iOS 9 will be available next week starting on the 16th of September 2015 and for Pre Order on the 12th of September.

For now, that’s that about the iPhone 6s. Stay tuned. Here are the specifications:
