The Xiaomi Mi Max 3 was teased on Weibo and also showcased in press renders by Lin Bin, company founder. Today everything was officially unwrapped at an official event so we get to see the full picture. It has a 6.9" screen with Full HD+ resolution and 18:9 ratio and a massive 5,500 mAh battery. The Xiaomi Mi Max 3borrows plenty of specs from the Redmi Note 5. It runs the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 chipset with an octa-core CPU at 1.8 GHz.

Corning introduces Gorilla Glass 6

Image
Today, Corning has announced a new version of Gorilla Glass, the sixth version, to be precise. Corning's scientists were able to engineer "an entirely new material" that would better survive multiple drops. Tests show that Gorilla Glass 6 survived fifteen drops from 1 meter before actually breaking. This is apparently twice as many drops that Gorilla Glass 5 can withstand. Gorilla Glass 6 is an entirely new glass composition that can be chemically strengthened to give it significantly higher levels of compression than is possible with Gorilla Glass 5.

The latest version of the Android P Developer Preview 3 (Beta 4) is now available to download for the OnePlus 6. A OnePlus forum post has outlined all the changes made to this version of the Developer Preview, which does lag a little behind the Pixel beta releases since Oxygen OS has some changes made to it. The latest beta brings the OnePlus 6 to the July 2018 security bulletin and improves the general stability of the system. There's also a hotspot bug that is fixed and camera improvements.

Huawei has already sold 100 million devices in 2018

Image
During the nova 3 launch event today, Huawei's consumer products boss Richard Yu was happy to report that his company has really outdone itself when it comes to smartphone sales this year. As of today Huawei has already sold 100 million devices. In 2018 it achieved that milestone in the least amount of time yet. Back in 2015 it was reached only on December 22; in 2016 it was October 14, while last year on September 12 Huawei announced 100 million sales.

Huawei sub-brand Honor is announcing that two exciting new features are headed to its current flagship offering, the Honor 10, next month. One of those is the already widely publicized GPU Turbo, while the other is Automatic Image Stabilization (AIS) for the camera. GPU Turbo, in Honor's own words, is "a groundbreaking hardware-software integration and graphics processing technology".

In the video we answer your questions about navigating the UI using the fingerprint reader, charging, storage and more. The Moto G6 isn't an Android One phone, but as per Motorola tradition the software is mostly stock. The only changes are things like the fingerprint gestures (swipe right for recent apps, left for back, tap for home). We also cover the camera, both stills and videos. The camera app is another one of Moto's customizations and we think its HDR+ feature works quite well. The cam shoots... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2O2ju5h via IFTTT

Huawei formally announces the Kirin 710 12nm SoC

Image
Today, Huawei announced its mid-tier nova 3i smartphone and the staple is the in-house HiSilicon Kirin 710 chipset. The Kirin 710 was a long overdue release as last year's 16nm Kirin 659 SoC was losing its competitive edge. The Kirin 710, on the other hand, aims to bring the 12nm node to the masses and according to Huawei, the new chipset delivers impressive performance and power efficiency gains. In digits, that means 75% better single-core and 68% improved multi-core speeds thanks to the four high-performance Cortex-A73 cores clocked at 2.2GHz and four low-power Cortex-A53 cores... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2zSXPtm via IFTTT

Samsung reportedly aims to launch foldable phone in early 2019 with a 7" screen

Image
Samsung is keen to be the first to launch a proper foldable phone (i.e. with a single, uninterrupted screen), claim insiders. This should happen early next year and the company believes this will reinvigorate the demand for high-priced phones. It won't happen right away, though. When the Samsung prototype (codenamed "Winner") goes to retail, it will reportedly target gamers first (an audience that is less price sensitive than most). It will cost at least $1,500, likely more than that. The display measures 7" when open, but folds like a wallet for portability, say people who have seen... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2uz32Bj via IFTTT

First render of Galaxy Tab A 8.0 (2018) shows trimmed bezels

Samsung is prepping a bunch of new tablets - from the flagship Galaxy Tab S4 to a refresh of the Galaxy Tab A 10.1 (2018), the Galaxy Tab A2 (10.5) and Tab Advanced2 and the star of this story - the Galaxy Tab A 8.0 (2018). The Galaxy Tab A 8.0 (2018) has been rumored to be a tame refresh of its predecessor - the key differences being a removal of the physical home button (in favor of on-screen one) and a slimmer profile, thanks to thinner bezels. An official-looking render has surfaced, visualizing what could prove to be the Galaxy Tab A 8.0 (2018).

Meizu 16's primary camera has f/1.8 aperture and 12MP resolution

Remember yesterday's post about the Meizu 16's AnTuTu score and sample camera photos? Well, someone was able to find the original images uploaded on Weibo by the CEO himself and their EXIF revealed interesting specs about the camera. According to the data, the Meizu 16 used a 12MP sensor to take the shots with an f/1.8 lens in front of it. The device is supposed to be out by the end of August coming in two versions - a standard one with Snapdragon 710 and a plus-sized model with Snapdragon 845 on board with additional cooling and an in-display fingerprint reader.

Samsung and LG will adopt a "shotgun strategy" and release many new models

Image
In order to prop up falling revenues from smartphone sales, both Samsung and LG have decided to adopt a "shotgun policy" - they will launch as many new models as possible. Based on Strategy Analytics data, Samsung's and LG's market shares in Q1 2018 shrunk at a time when Xiaomi doubled its share and Huawei and Apple are on the rise. Both companies have been focusing on their high end lines, where margins are considerably higher compared to their low cost offerings.

OxygenOS 5.1.9 for OnePlus 6 improves camera quality

Image
OnePlus just pushed an update to OxygenOS 5.1.9 for its latest flagship, the OnePlus 6, and it's pretty similar to the one introduced in the Open Beta version of the OS for the OnePlus 5 and OnePlus 5T yesterday. It should finally address the well-known camera issue producing the so-called "oil painting effect". Presumably, the update will also optimize the overall image quality as well but we wonder if DxOMark tested the device with the new update or missed it by a few days. Anyway, the changelog also mentions the support for Google Lens on the native camera app. Additionally, the... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2Ltqhn5 via IFTTT

Google faces a €4.3 billion fine from the EU

We've heard about the EU competition commission chief's disapproval of Google's practices just last week and now, we are seeing the results. This morning the European Commission had slapped the search giant with a record-breaking €4.3 billion fine. The California-based company was found guilty of using its mobile OS to "cement its dominant position in general internet search." The EU's ruling gives Google 90 days to change its practice or face even more severe penalties of up to 5% of its average daily revenue. But even if the 90 days change is met, the initial fine is still the... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2uKpG97 via IFTTT

The Huawei nova 3i is the first smartphone with the new Kirin 710 SoC built on the 12nm process by HiSilicon. It has four Cortex-A73 at 2.2 GHz and four more Cortex-A53 at 1.7 GHz for power efficiency. The screen is 6.3" LCD of FullHD+ resolution and 19:9 ratio like the original nova 3.

After a failed attempt on July 11, HMD Global finally announced its latest mid-ranger, the Nokia X5 (Nokia 5.1 Plus). Most of the rumors so far turned out to be true and many will be disappointed by the inclusion of the notch. However, Nokia X5 is built around a 5.86-inch HD+ (720x1520 pixels) display (19:9 aspect ratio) with 2.D curved glass on the edges and boasts an 84% screen-to-body ratio.

Samsung reopens Apple-dissing campaign in latest ad

In its latest ad, dubbed Ingenius: Speed, Samsung is shining a bright light on the iPhone X's lack of Gigabit LTE support. The iPhone X has inferior LTE download speeds than the Samsung Galaxy Note8, Galaxy S8/S8+ and Galaxy S9/S9+ and that's no secret. The difference in download is around 2x with the Samsung posting around 100 Mbps download whereas the iPhone X topping out at about 50 Mbps.

Russian warship ‘carrying £100 billion in gold’ discovered off South Korea

Image
A South Korean salvage team has discovered the wreck of a Russian warship that was sunk in a naval battle 113 years ago and is believed to still contain a trove of gold bullion and coins worth 150 trillion won, or £100 billion. The Russian Imperial Navy cruiser Dmitrii Donskoi was discovered at a depth of more than 1,400 feet about one mile off the South Korean island of Ulleungdo. A joint team made up of experts from South Korea, Britain and Canada discovered the wreck on Sunday and used two manned submersibles to capture footage of the vessel, with the company behind the discovery promising to use a percentage of the money to fund the construction of a railway line linking Russia and South Korea through North Korea. The video includes images of extensive damage to the vessel caused in an encounter with Japanese warships in May 1905, along with cannons and deck guns encrusted with marine growth, the anchor and the ship’s wheel.  The identity of the 5,800-ton warship was confirmed ...

Texas executed a man on Tuesday for murdering a store owner during a robbery in 2004, despite calls from some relatives of the victim that his life be spared. Christopher Young, 34, was put to death by lethal injection at the state's death chamber in the city of Huntsville for the murder of Hasmukh Patel at his convenience store in San Antonio, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice said. Young became the 13th U.S. inmate put to death this year, and the 553rd in Texas since the U.S. Supreme Court reinstated the death penalty in 1976, the most of any state. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2zK2j5B via Latest News
