Huawei P20 Lite with a notched 19:9 screen goes through the FCC

Image
Screen notches - not just for expensive flagships anymore. FCC certified (and described in good detail) what could be the Huawei P20 Lite (model name ANE-LX1). It will have an extra tall 19:9 screen, including the notch. The screen has a resolution of 2,280 x 1,080px and (if we're reading the schematic right) the diagonal should be around 6.1". The phone itself will measure 148 x 70mm. On the back of the phone is a dual camera (vertically oriented). Of course, the FCC doesn't list the camera resolution. A fingerprint reader is not included in the schematic. Additional info... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles http://ift.tt/2Bfi9UE via IFTTT

Apple: iPhone X and 8 come with "hardware update" to avoid throttling issues

Image

A upcoming Samsung smartphone just appeared on AnTuTu's website, sporting the model number SM-C9150, being powered by a Snapdragon 660 mated to 6GB of RAM and running Android 7.1.1.
