OPPO Reno

It’s here. The OPPO Reno phone is finally publicized by the Chinese OEM. After weeks of leaks, rumors, and teasers, this smartphone with an exclusive design is revealed off to the public. There are two variants actually–the standard Reno

 

and the Reno 10x Zoom Version. OPPO proudly exposed the Reno series at a special event in Beijing. The two are simply mid-range units but you will be awestruck with the almost high-end specs. The Oppo Reno boasts a 6.4-inch AMOLED display with FHD+ resolution, on-screen fingerprint scanner, Snapdragon 710 processor, 16MP selfie camera, dual 48MP F/1.7 main camera + 5MP depth sensor, 3765 mAh battery with VOOC 3.0 tech, 6GB or 8GB of RAM, and 128GB or 256GB onboard storing.

What’s more exciting here is the design of the phone with the shark fin selfie shooter. It was first described as a gum stick camera when it was teased earlier.

Oppo Reno is obtainable in four color options: Extreme Night Black, Nebula Purple, Mist Pink, and Fog Sea Green. The 6GB RAM with 128GB storage model is priced at CNY2,999 which is about $446 in the US. The 6GB RAM with a higher 256GB model is $491. The 8GB RAM through 256GB unit costs CNY3599 ($536).

OPPO will be out the phone in China on April 19. It will be followed by the additional variant, the OPPO Reno 10x Zoom in May. Both phones will have their universal launch on the 24th of April.

As for the OPPO Reno 10x Zoom, the phone boasts a superior 6.6-inch FHD+ AMOLED notchless screen. Body ratio is an amazing 93.1%. The main back camera system contains 48MP F/1.7 cam plus 8MP F/2.2 120-degree wide-angle camera. Of course, let’s not overlook the 13MP F/3.0 periscope shooter with 10x hybrid zoom lens.

The main camera system makes the OPPO Reno 10x Zoom a worthy opposite of the Huawei P30 Pro but we’ll have to do a more inclusive test first. Just like the standard version, this one features the similar shark fin-style 16MP F/2.0 front-facing camera,

Other specs comprise an in-display fingerprint scanner, 6GB or 8GB RAM, 128GB or 256GB onboard storage, 4065 mAh battery, VOOC 3.0 fast charging support, and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 processor. It runs on ColorOS 6 based on Android Pie.

The Zoom edition is prepared in two colors only: Fog Sea Green and Extreme Night Black. Pricing is set at CNY 3999 ($595), CNY4499 ($670), and CNY 4799 ($714) for the 6GB/128GB version, 6GB/256GB, and 8GB/256GB version, individually.

Huawei Gentle Monster Smart Glasses previewed, launching this summer

Huawei-Gentle-Monster-Eyewear-7
HUAWEI X GENTLE MONSTER EYEWEAR.

Aside from the Huawei P30 Pro that is currently making a consciousness because of its high-end camera system, the top Chinese OEM also announced the latest pair of smart glasses. Not that Huawei has ventured into this category before but we have a feeling this pair will once another time revive the interest of the public. Huawei and Gentle Monster teamed up to launch this pair of eyewear that is intelligent and comfy. In case you’re wondering, Gentle Monster is a genuine brand name. It’s a Korean optical eyeglasses and sunglasses brand that is presently trendy in Seoul.

Don’t ask why Huawei combined with a Korean brand but we recognize K-Pop is still big anywhere in the world. Initially called as the Huawei x Gentle Monster Eyewear, this pair of stylish glasses feature some stereo speakers, double mic, antenna, a chipset, and a battery.

Believe it or not, the pair doesn’t feature any camera so you’d be asking what the point of this gadget is. Well, with beamforming technology, it can be used for making attractive voice calls. It’s the latest Bluetooth accessory that can extremely well replace your headset.

Huawei Mobile has posted a teaser video on Twitter. Nothing much has been obtainable but we know how it looks. It won’t be a Google Glass copycat as the pair is exclusive on its own.

One interesting bit is that the carrying case can also be used to charge the spectacles. It is said to have NFC that may be used for other purposes.

Huawei will launch the associated glasses sometime in July. More models will be obtainable. No idea on pricing and market release yet but we’ll let you recognize once more details are ready.

OnePlus 7 image renders, 360-degree video go online

We’ve only been waiting for this set: image renders of the OnePlus 7. The next-gen flagship from the Chinese OEM has been part of our awareness since November 2018 when we learned it won’t execute 5G technology yet, or at least, the initial version. OnePlus is working on a 5G phone but it’s not the OnePlus 7. However, it will previously run Snapdragon 855 processor by Qualcomm which supports 5G. Rumor has it a 5G variant may be released but will be more expensive.

A OnePlus 7 image leaked former but then the latest render appeared. Live images even appeared on Twitter, showing no notch or camera-hole.

The previous we heard about the smartphone is that it may not contain wireless charging yet. Interestingly, the company did explain a 5G phone example at the MWC 2019. It’s just not clear if it’s a dissimilar phone or is the OnePlus 7.

Image renders and a 360-degree video has surfaced online, showcasing the design of OnePlus 7. Pricebaba teamed up with OnLeaks to work on this gallery.

The phone doesn’t look any dissimilar from previous OnePlus phones but there are currently three rear shooters. There is no confirmation yet but the device is said to execute a pop-up selfie camera alike to the Vivo V15 Pro, OPPO F11 Pro, and the Samsung Galaxy A90.

The specs we recognize so far are as follows: 6.5-inch screen, full HD+ resolution, 162.6 x 76 x 8.8mm dimensions, USB Type-C port, 6GB RAM, loudspeaker grill, volume rocker on the left, an alert slider and power button on the exact edge, and a 4150mAh battery. The phone will still run on Oxygen OS but previously based on Android 9 Pie.

The Galaxy Fold is coming: what you need to know

Now we recognize why Samsung chose the Bill Graham auditorium in San Francisco for the launch of its latest devices. It was here that Steve Jobs showed the world the Apple II in 1977, a device that changed computing forever. Over four decades later, Samsung is kick-starting the next era of smartphones with the Galaxy Fold, a smartphone that opens up into a 7.3-inch tablet offers a flawless flow of content from one screen to another and gives a foldable screen where you don’t see the fold or the hinge underneath.
The Samsung Galaxy Fold, which marks the 10th year of the Galaxy Series, is a thick phone to appear at otherwise. But then Samsung has learned from the 2 billion devices that it has sold in the series so far. And this thick, box-like phone opens up into a striking big squarish screen.

The phones work above all because of what Samsung calls app permanence. The content on the outer screen seamlessly flows into the bigger screen as you unfold it. This will be at the core of how this device will be used.


Samsung Galaxy Fold specifications


*7.3-inch QXGA+ display on the inside (4:2:3 aspect ratio)
*4.6-inch HD+ display on the outside (21:9 aspect ratio)
Two batteries add up to 4,380mAh of capacity
*Unnamed 7nm processor
*512GB storage, 12GB RAM
‘*Wireless PowerShares
*Three cameras on the outside (16MP+12MP+12MP) and another three (10MP+8MP+10MP) on the inside
*Samsung OneUI interface


Also, this latest phone takes multi-tasking to a whole new-fangled level. This is the only phone on which you can do three-app multi-tasking. While this is a testament of how Samsung has worked on the software, it also tells you the type of power this device packs. Moving one of these apps to a superior display is as easy as drag and drop.
The phone also packs six cameras in it. At the back, there are three cameras, while within on the tablet side is two cameras for selfies. The folded phone offers one camera in front. This is the latest standard for what a smartphone can achieve.
The phone is clearly a few weeks away from receiving into consumer’s hands. Even at the demo zone after the launch event, the phone was not on display.
But then this is not a phone for everyone. The Samsung Galaxy Fold is priced at $1980, a new high for any mass production phone. When the phone becomes available for sale a few weeks from now, it will be sold as a luxury device — a phone that everyone aspires to, but very few will actually buy. The Galaxy Fold will go on sale starting April 26. Samsung has clearly unfolded the future… the era of the folded phones.

Samsung Galaxy S10+ ceramic variant to have 12GB RAM, 1TB storage space: Report

Galaxy S10, Galaxy S10 Plus, Galaxy S10 Plus ceramic edition, Galaxy S10 Plus ceramic variant price, Galaxy S10 launch, Galaxy S10 price in India, Galaxy S10 Lite

Samsung’s imminent Galaxy S10 is expected to be made obtainable in three variants, when the flagship phone gets launched in San Francisco on January 20. And currently, Ice Universe, popular phone leaker on Twitter, claims that the top-end version of the Galaxy S10 flagship could ship with 12GB RAM and 1TB internal storage space.

Noted tipster Ice Universe believes that Samsung plans to launch the ceramic version of the Galaxy S10+. Apparently, it will also arrive 12GB RAM and 1TB of internal storage. The tweet also said that the ceramic is made via a unique process that only makes it scratch defiant but also “resistant to falling”. Going by this logic, the handset will talented to survive more drops than the glass variant. However, the special feature gives the phone a bit more heaviness.

But the Galaxy S10+ isn’t going to be the first smartphone with a ceramic backside. Xiaomi and Essential are previously selling smartphones with a ceramic back. In fact, Xiaomi launched its Mi Mix with a ceramic back in 2016.


The launch of the Galaxy S10 is going to take place in San Francisco on January 20. Instead of launching two variants of the Galaxy S10, there will be three models in total: the Galaxy S10, Galaxy S10+, and Galaxy S10E. Early estimates advise the smartphone to cost $710 for the base model and $1800 for the top-end model. There are plans to launch a 5G-ready variant of the Galaxy S10 at the similar Galaxy Unpacked event in San Francisco. Samsung previously previewed its 5G-enabled prototype smartphone at this year’s CES in Las Vegas.

These latest LG G8 ThinQ renders will look extremely very familiar

These latest LG G8 ThinQ renders will look extremely very familiar

Trusted smartphone leaker @OnLeaks just shared a set of renders supposedly depicting the imminent LG G8 ThinQ over at 91Mobiles.

If you just took a quick glance, you would be forgiven in thoughts that these are just the renders for the LG G7 ThinQ, since they look extraordinarily the same. If you provide a closer inspection, you can see there are absolutely some differences. However, from an overall design point-of-view, the LG G8 ThinQ looks like it will be more of the similar from LG.

Just for the sake of comparison, here are the leaked renders of the LG G7 ThinQ from previous year:

Let’s start with the similarity. The front has a big ol’ notch at the top, the rear fingerprint scanner is in comparatively the same place, there’s a dual camera system, a glossy finish, and a massive LG logo at the back.

Oh yeah, and the headphone jack is still there, which is surely nice.

The only major differences we notice between last year’s G7 and these leaked renders is that the dual camera arrangement is now horizontally-aligned and the front-facing camera appears to have been upgraded to a dual-lens configuration. Those are both welcome changes, for certain, but is that actually all it takes to move from G7 to G8?

Unfortunately, it appears any LG fans who were looking for a triple-lens camera (as was on the LG V40 ThinQ), an in-display fingerprint scanner, a waterdrop notch, slope colors, or any of the other design features trending right now in the smartphone industry will be dissatisfied with these renders.

There’s still the possibility, though, that this G8 could feature an optional second screen addition. If that’s the case, LG could be relying solely on that innovation to push sales.

What do you think? Is LG making a misfire here, or are you still thrilled for the LG G8 ThinQ? Let us distinguish in the comments.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 teardown gives a apparent glance within the device

Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 teardown gives a apparent glance within the device

Xiaomi’s Redmi Note 7 is the newest budget phone, but with a large 48MP rear camera and a new glass design stiff. The smartphone has previously gone on sale in China, but there’s no word on when the Redmi Note 7 will appear to other markets like India.

A new teardown video of the Redmi Note 7 has been shared on China’s QQ stand and also uploaded on YouTube, which gives a clear glance of what’s inside the device.

According to GizmoChina, which shared the YouTube video, Redmi Note 7’s teardown reveals all the key interior parts of the phone. The Redmi Note 7 as piercing out has a glass body, and the back glass panel is detached completely when opening the device as can be seen in the video.

The teardown video also shows the Redmi Note 7’s 48MP camera sensor, the 5MP depth camera, the 13MP frontage camera.

The Redmi Note 7’s video also shows that the latest USB Type-C port is on a secondary board of the phone and that replacing this should be simple if there is trouble. The earlier Redmi Note phones had a micro-USB port at the bottom.

Redmi Note 7 is also splatter and dust-resistant, which is mention on Xiaomi’s China website as well. But the rating is not mentioned. The Redmi Note 7 is not water-resistant, nor is the company advertising this. However, a splash resistant rating means it should be just discovered in case of accidental spills.

LG might build a phone you can add an additional screen to… no joke

You’ve got to present it to LG for constantly trying to out-innovate their contest, from modular phones like the LG G5 to phones with way too many cameras. The company is now it seems that leaning towards promotion you one with an optional second screen. A folding phone, however, this is not.

According to CNET, LG is getting prepared to show off multiple devices counting the LG G8 at Mobile World Congress next month. One of these new devices will include an optional second screen. There’s no confirmation whether LG will market this as an alternative of the G8 or as a completely innovative series.

It is believed the added screen will turn up as part of a case for the phone, it seems that giving you more screen space to work with. This screen would most probably make use of the USB Type-C port or perhaps a proprietary connector.

The jury is still out on whether we actually want dual screen phones, but what about a second screen attached to a case? This solution could potentially be used as a folio-style device with a stylus. Or how about a modern-day communicator with the keyboard tear over on the other half? Since the screen would be on the inside, it would also be fairly secluded next to drops and scratching
