Huawei P Smart Z with pop-up selfie cam renders surface online

Huawei P smart Z

The pop-up selfie camera design is this year’s notch. Last year, the temper was all about the notch on the front display, housing the selfie camera, and ensuing in an almost bezel-less screen. To attain a fully bezel-less display, there are two possibilities: use a pop-up selfie shoot or implement a slider mechanism. Think Vivo V15/V15 Pro, Vivo X27, Vivo NEX, Samsung Galaxy A80, OPPO F11 Pro, OPPO Find X, Honor Magic 2, and the Xiaomi Mi Mix 3. These phones have unseen the selfie cameras, eliminating the requirement for a notch or a camera hole.

We can’t say if the two designs that conceal the front-facing cameras will turn into standards in the market but we won’t be astonished at all if top OEMs like Huawei use them. The Samsung Galaxy A80 launched with a slider design and rotating cameras.

Huawei used the similar idea on the Honor Magic 2. The Chinese company is anticipated to use the design more in the future. The pop-up selfie cam design may also be used by Huawei as revealed off in the renders of the Huawei P Smart Z.

The Huawei P30 series immobile features a notch but a next phone offering could have the pop-up selfie camera design. Even the Huawei P Smart 2019 version still uses a dewdrop notch.

The next phones, the Huawei P Smart Z and the Huawei P Smart X, could be out in the Netherlands first since the renders appeared on a Dutch website.

The Huawei P Smart Z mid-range phone is said to swank the following specs and features: 6.59-inch Full HD+ screen, 2340 × 1080 pixel declaration, 391ppi, 19.5:9 aspect ratio, 16MP pop-up selfie camera and f/2.0 lens, octa-core HiSilicon Kirin 710 processor, 4GB RAM, 64GB onboard storage space, and a 4000mAh battery. The back dual cameras are a combination of 16MP f/1.8 and 2MP f/2.4 sensor.

Huawei will preserve the 3.5mm headphone port and back fingerprint scanner. Color options contain Blue, Green, and Black. Pricing may start at €210 ($234).

Latest 10-inch iPad and ‘low-priced’ iPad mini on hand in 2019: Chinese media report

iPad Pro And Mini

Apple is set to launch a latest iPad mini and a revised form factor entry-level iPad, conferring to China Times. The iPad mini has not established an update since the fourth-generation model debuted in 2015, which Apple remains to sell in 128 GB configurations.

For the 2018 revision, Apple’s $329 iPad featured no physical appearance changes, converging on a new processor and sustenance for the Apple Pencil stylus. For 2019, it will seemingly be receiving industrial design updates to accommodate a somewhat bigger 10-inch display …

The iPad mini 5 was formerly said to be forthcoming in a report from Ming-Chi Kuo, who said it would presentation in late 2018 or early 2019.

Today’s Chinese media report says the device could go into mass manufacture before the end of December, signifying a launch within the first couple months of 2019.

For fans of the iPad mini form factor, it’s not yet clear what to imagine from the iPad mini 5. Kuo before downplayed the update by stating it would feature a lower-cost screen and a processor bump. The Chinese report agrees, referring to the device as ‘low-priced’.

As Apple now only sells the iPad mini in 128 GB models from $399, there’s plenty of headroom for the company to bring the price down.

The 10-inch iPad would apparently substitute the 9.7-inch model in the lineup, featuring a thinner frame and is predictable to debut in the second half of 2019. The report advises that the pricing of the 10-inch iPad should not be that dissimilar to the $329 iPad today. It is still aimed as an entry-level iPad.

Total iPad shipments for the entire of 2018 are anticipated to be a little down compared to 2017. The later launch of the iPad Pro in 2018 equated to 2017, where the Pro line was updated in June rather than November, is a contributing factor to the yearly sales decline.
