Possible Xiaomi Black Shark 2 announcement date leaks

Image
Xiaomi's rumored Black Shark 2 is still a big mystery with only a couple of leaks to work with. Yet, the company is seemingly teasing an international release on its new global website and now we probably know when's the handset arriving. What seems to be an official poster was just posted, revealing the announcement date of the handset - October 23 at 18:00 local time. Since the poster is in Chinese, we assume it will begin its global rollout from there. However, we can't be absolutely sure of the legitimacy of the image and the fact that we still haven't heard anything solid from... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2yjK9UO via IFTTT

Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 officially arriving on October 25

Image
Two weeks ago we heard that Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 might eventually arrive on October 15. Since we are already in the second half of the month, the Chinese company technically delivered an announcement - it announced the launch date of the new flagship. The Mi Mix 3 will arrive on October 25, and it appears the sliding camera mechanism is real, according to the teaser on Weibo. Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 was initially teased with a Find X-esque notch that comes up, but after further investigation, it might be 100% screen-to-body front with a sliding back.

Huawei has sold 45 million Enjoy smartphones in three years

Image
Huawei has made the Enjoy 9 Plus and Enjoy Max official at an event in China. The Honor 8X and 8X Max lookalikes come with slightly different specs and Huawei's badge on them instead of Honor's. On that occasion, the company has boasted about achieving an important milestone. So far it has sold more than 45 million Enjoy smartphones across the globe. That's in around three years of availability of this line. The family was born in 2015 with the Enjoy 5 and Enjoy 5s aiming for very budget-conscious buyers that were looking for a device in the CNY 1,000 to 1,999 price range (around... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2Acsujn via IFTTT

Palm is back with a 3.3-inch device that's billed as a companion for your smartphone

Image
Sometimes companies experiment with new product categories. Sometimes those experiments prove to be hugely successful - see Samsung's Note line - and sometimes, well, not so much. It's probably too early to tell what fate the new Verizon-exclusive Palm will have, but for now the device is a head scratcher. First off, it's called Palm. Just Palm. Like the company. Like the brand, that's now owned by TCL (which makes Alcatel and BlackBerry smartphones these days). Oh, and it's not a smartphone. It may look like a tiny smartphone, but it isn't. Instead, it's a $349 gadget that has LTE... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2OpsjtG via IFTTT

Oppo R15X flexes its Snapdragon 660 on Geekbench

Image
The Oppo PBCM10, which leaked alongside two other phones last week, and is believed to be called the Oppo R15X, has popped up on Geekbench. The device listed in the benchmark carries a Snapdragon 660 chipset (corroborating an earlier leak) with 6GB of RAM and runs Android 8.1. We expect the Oppo R15X to carry a 6.4-inch display with a water drop-styled notch, 4GB and 6GB of RAM, up to 128GB of storage, a 16MP+2MP main camera and a 25MP selfie camera.

Huawei Mate 20 and Pro rumor roundup

Tomorrow is the big day for Huawei fans - the Mate 20 and Mate 20 Pro will be revealed. There was an abundance of leaks building up to the event, which we will attempt to summarize here. What's the difference? The Huawei Mate 20 Pro will have a curved OLED display with a higher resolution than the non-Pro - 1440p+ vs. 1080p+ - and an in-display fingerprint reader. In both cases the screen size will be about 6.4" (give or take a few tenths). The notches will be a different size as well, the Pro getting a wider notch to accommodate a more advanced face unlock system.

The W2019 will have two 4.2-inch Super AMOLED screens, like its predecessor W2018, and a 3,000mAh battery. We know from earlier leaks that the clamshell phone will pack the same dual camera as the Galaxy Note9 and S9+ and will likely offer a Snapdragon 845 chipset instead of the Exynos 9810, given its China-only availability.

Lenovo S5 Pro teasers show a dual camera, question the image quality of rivals

So, they will be different phones after all - the Lenovo Z5 Pro, a quad camera flagship, launch after the Lenovo S5 Pro, which will be unveiled on October 18. The S5 Pro will have only a dual camera on its back. We saw camera samples from the telephoto camera and now we have more details. The info comes from some aggressive teasers. The first one calls out the Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite for not having a telephoto camera.

Samsung Galaxy Note10 to come with a 6.66" display

Image
Industry insiders claim that the Samsung Galaxy Note10 will come with a 6.66" display next year. This is reportedly part of the specifications that Samsung Mobile handed to Samsung Display so that the panel maker can start work on the larger Super AMOLED panel. The Galaxy Note9 has a 6.4" screen size and (assuming the aspect ratio stays the same), the next Note flagship will offer about 8% more surface area. Note that while the iPhone XS Max has a 6.5" screen, due to the aspect ratio and the notch, the usable surface area is actually smaller than Note9's.

Not that we expected a radical redesign from the non-Plus model.

A deadline passed Monday without jihadists leaving a planned buffer zone around Syria's last major rebel bastion of Idlib as set out under a Russian-Turkish deal.

Bavaria election humbles Merkel allies, raising tensions in Berlin

The Christian Social Union (CSU) won 37.3 percent of the vote, preliminary results showed, losing its absolute majority for only the second time since 1962 - an outcome sure to stoke infighting in the conservative party, already a difficult partner for Merkel in Berlin. The result, which saw the pro-immigration Greens come second and the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) enter the state assembly for the first time, means the CSU will need to form a coalition - a humiliation for a party used to ruling alone. The Greens, who more than doubled their share of the vote to 17.8 percent, attracted support from more liberal CSU voters and from those who traditionally vote for the left-leaning Social Democrats (SPD), who won just 9.5 percent. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2EiUzti via Latest News
