OnePlus has officially announced that it will be using its fast warp charge technology for the next flagship smartphone. That's to say, the OnePlus 8T will have a 65W warp fast charging adapter in the box. The company has confirmed the news via a press release it recently released and states that warp charge 65 will be able to fully charge the 4,500mAh battery in the OnePlus 8T in less than 40 minutes.

 

The OnePlus 8T won't be a case of ‘A day's power in half an hour' but would upgrade to a day's power in 15 minutes. A lot of the speed delivered by these fast chargers is achieved in the first 0 to 70 percent of the charge. Specifically, OnePlus claimed that you will be getting from 0 to 58 percent within 15 minutes of charge. That's almost double the speed the warp charge 30 offered with the OnePlus 8.

 

As we all know that OnePlus' warp charge and Oppo's VOOC charge has been the same charging technology. It is safe to say that this 65W charging is quite similar to the 65W super VOOC charging that is used in the Oppo Find X2 Pro. To achieve such a fast charging technology without heating up the smartphone too much, the company uses a battery that's manufactured using the two individual cells, or rather, its two smaller 2,250mAh batteries to make the total 4,500mAh capacity.

 

OnePlus has verified that each battery can charge at 30W speeds simultaneously while the design of the adapter and cable ensures that the device doesn't get overheated. It has a built-in temperature sensor to monitor the internal temperature of the phone as it charges and adapts the speed of the phone is about to overheat. The OnePlus 8T is going to be unveiled on 14 October 2020, and you can read more about its leaks and rumors in the upcoming blog posts.

HarmonyOS is the latest innovation by Huawei but this time the company invested heavily to develop an operating system rather than working on its mobile hardware. The operating system is meant to replace Android, the most popular OS for mobile phones right now. Now the brand is working on the rollout of its new software to about 300 million devices this year.

 

According to a CNTechPost report, the Chinese tech giant is currently working to get beyond the limitations enforced by the Trump administration in the name of national security. Indeed, this was a difficult challenge but instead of staying behind, the company decided to make its version of the operating system.

 

According to the vice chairman of Huawei, Huawei is seeking to introduce HarmonyOs to 100 million additional devices this year. Another executive had revealed that around 20 hardware vendors and 280 application software companies have already contacted them to use its new operating system.

 

Wang Chenglu, president of Huawei's consumer business software division, has announced that the company is targeting about 300 million devices to be powered by HarmonyOS. Out of these 300 million devices, almost 100 million devices will run HarmonyOS out of the box. Meaning the company is planning to launch new products that will ship with HarmonyOS.

 


For those unaware, HarmonyOS is a built-in software with cross platform integration in mind. In other words, the software isn't limited to just smartphones and TV and may be able to unify different devices. It's more like a universal OS. Huawei has already launched the beta version of the OS for certain smartphones models.

Xiaomi Malaysia has recently initiated a contest on its official Facebook page that will likely choose ten lucky users among the contestants. The price will be a unit of a new smartphone for each lucky winner. But the company hasn't revealed the smartphone they are going to award. It only shows that the phone will be from a Redmi series and to hide its identity, the company has chosen to use a fake name and called it Redmi XX. The teaser poster along with the competition on the page shows a render of the device that shows the rear side of the phone.

 

The image shows that the device will feature a quad-camera system stacked vertically in a rectangular housing at the top left corner of the rear panel. The phone is in a dark orange color that looks really unique and youthful. The device looks like the Redmi Note 9 4G that was released in China and is similar to the Poco M3. The tech enthusiasts and leakers suggest that this is Redmi 9T which was certified in Thailand recently.

 

The Redmi 9T is the upcoming smartphone by the same company. The phone in rumors is expected to feature a full HD+ display of 6.33-inches. The phone will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 processor paired with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage that can be further extended with an external slot. The device will be powered by a large 6.000mAh battery. The camera is rumored to be a quad-camera system with a 48MP primary camera, a 2MP macro lens, and a 2MP depth sensor. Some rumors suggest that the phone will also have a fourth sensor which is an 8MP ultra-wide-angle camera lens. As appeared from the picture, the design is similar to the Redmi Note 9 4G. There is no word yet about the release date of the phone but the contest will end on the 7th of January 2021. So, we can expect the announcement of the phone by the first week of January.

Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei spoke to Chinese media on Tuesday a few days after U.S President Trump issued orders to blacklist Huawei's business in the United States. He seems relaxed and confident despite of the situation that may cause a huge damage to the company. He said, United States underestimates the company's strength. Many suggest that it is an attempt to stop the company's global ambition and possible domination in next-generation 5G technology. He said, Huawei's 5G will absolutely not be affected. In terms of 5G technologies, others won't be able to catch up with Huawei in two or three years.


Last year, Trump declared a so-called national emergency which empowers him to blacklist companies seen as ‘an unacceptable risk to the national security of the United States' - which seem to be clearly aimed for Huawei. At the same time, the US commerce department announced an effective ban on American companies to stop them to have any kind of business with Huawei. Ren said, we cannot be isolated from the world. We can also make the same chips as the US chips but it doesn't mean we won't buy them.


Google's operating system Android powers most of the smartphones in the world. After trump administration bans, Google announced to cut-off its ties with Huawei and suspended its licenses for Huawei. Although the company can still use the open-source version of the operating system. This move could have some serious negative implications on the company and its consumer, as the telecom company will no longer be able to access Google's proprietary services such as Gmail, Google maps etc. The US commerce department gave 90 days temporary license to deal with the impact, but Ren said, that we are ready. Huawei said, that Google and the company is working on terms how to deal with the ban as it referred the Google as a highly responsible company. A company spokesperson in Australia said the US actions "will not impact consumers" with a Huawei tablet or smartphone in the country, or those planning to buy a device in the future.

Huawei officially confirmed the release of another smartphone that will be hitting the market alongside another smartphone - the Huawei Mate 40. The mate 40 series is the next smartphone series of the earlier Huawei Mate 30 and Huawei Mate 30 pro E. The phone was first known with a code-named LIO-ANoom as per the ministry of internet industry and information technology informatics. According to the report, the specs are almost the same as the previous one.

 

Huawei Mate 40 series will be launched on October 22, as per official announcement. Both the Huawei Mate 40 and Mate 40 Pro are expected to be announced during the event. The devices are powered by Kirin 9000 SoC processor, which is the last processor due to the US sanctions carrying TSMC chips. Both are rumored to have 50MP rear cameras, in addition to an 80MP ultra-wide camera for Mate 40 pro. The design will be similar to Mate 30 series from the past, with a massive circular camera bump on the back housing.

 

As per the reports, the phone features a curved display screen with bangs. The phone comes with a pre-built sky blue cover. The upcoming device will contain a circular camera housing with 32MP to 40MP camera sensor. The phone will feature a 6.53-inch OLED display with Kirin 990 processor with 5G network support. The device has a high refresh rate up to 60Hz. Huawei powered the phone with 40W fast charging that can charge 4,400mAh battery in less than half-hour. The design resembles the Huawei Mate 30 Pro, with a 5G version. We don't know the price yet, but the basic features of the phone hint an affordable price range for the phone.

 


realme

 

As per reports, Realme may soon launch three smartphones with model numbers RMX2121, RMX2176, and RMX2200 / RMX2201 have been certified by TENAA authority of China. TENAA has full specs and images of the RMX2176 phone. However, the Chinese telecom regulatory body has little information on the specs of the phone. A reliable tipster from China reported some information on the upcoming Realme 8 series phones.

 

According to the tipster, the upcoming smartphone is a standard Realme series and a higher model. The first device has a 4,300mAh battery and the second has a 4,500mAh battery. Both phones support 65W fast charging. The phone is also reported to be lightweight with long battery life. The Flagship variant is only 4,500mAh and 65W all series that don't exceed 200g. The Realme series has taken a slim profile serious with only 8.xmm phone size. From the weight and slim profile of the unknown series, we can safely assume that the tipster isn't talking about the Realme X series or V5 series as the upper-end variants of these sires houses a larger 4,980mAh rated battery.

 

The RMX2176 has an AMOLED display with a hole-punch design. It also supports a full HD+ resolution and a 20:9 aspect ratio. The phone is powered by a 2.4GHz octa-core processor that comes with 6GB and 8GB RAM options. The phone available in China may come in 128GB and 256GB storage options. The phone has a 32-megapixel front camera with a quad-camera system on the rear side. The rear camera system includes a 64-megapixel primary camera, 8-megapixel, a 2-megapixel, and a 2-megapixel phone. The phone runs on the Android 10 operating system is expected to be released in blue, white, and symphony color options.

The upcoming smartphone series will be containing two phones: Realme X7 and Realme X7 Pro both supporting 5G connectivity. The Realme X7 series is also teased to come with a 120Hz display refresh rate. Further, Realme is like to offer the phone with thin bezels and hole-punch display design.

 


As per the teaser uploaded on Weibo, the Realme X7 series will support the 120Hz AMOLED display. This will be the first phone by the company so far as its current phones support 120Hz with LCD panels. The teaser released by Realme also mentions the Realme X7 Pro alongside the Realme X7. As per the video, the phones will support 5G to highlight the presence of the next-generation cellular network. The video also mentions a curved display design on the Realme X7 series. That teaser also suggests the hole-punch design.

 


The Realme X7 series comes with 65W fast charging and weighs less than 200 grams. The series is likely to come with a 4,500mAh battery, while the other phone could include a 4,300mAh battery. The Realme X7 series will be launched in China at 2 pm CST Asia on September 1. However, we don't know when the phone is available in other parts of the world. The Realme X7 series will be equipped with more than one rear camera and might bring significant improvements in hardware and software specifications over the existing X series.


vivo

 

Vivo launched an updated version of S-series in March with a new model called the Vivo S6 5G. The phone was the only phone in the series with 5G network ability but it is also one of the few Vivo phones powered by an Exynos process. As per leaks, the company is about the release of a new S-series phone next month. According to the leaks, the Vivo S series will be updated next month. The company could launch a new device known as the Vivo S7.

 

Last month it was reported that the company will be launching a new phone called Vivo S6 Pro 5G. the phone is yet to be launched and we aren't sure if the upcoming device is going to be Vivo S6 Pro 5G or Vivo S7 to be exact, as we are still in the dark; guessing. But we can be optimistic about the phone support for 5G.


We don't know much about the specs, but it might not be drastically different than its predecessor Vivo S6. The phone has a 6.44-inch large display with 1080x2400 pixels. The phone uses Android 10 with Funtouch 10.0 on the top of the operating system. As mentioned earlier, the phone is powered by the Exynos 980, octa-core CPU, and Mali-G76 GPU. The device comes in 128GB/8GRAM and 256GB/8GB RAM variants. The phone has 48MP primary camera, with an 8MP secondary ultra-wide camera lens, a 2MP macro lens, and a 2MP depth lens. You can shoot 4K video at 30fps and 1080pixel video at 30fps. The selfie camera is 32MP. The phone has an under-display optical fingerprint sensor and comes with a 4,500mAh battery. You can buy the phone in black, blue, white/blue, or streamer secret colors. The phone is set to launch in India on July 16.

 


nokia

 

2020 has ended and we have seen many new smartphones by some major and small mobile phone manufacturers. In the smartphone department, Nokia started last year with the launch of Nokia C2, which was then followed by Nokia 5.3, Nokia 8.3 5G, and Nokia C3. The Nokia 2.4 and Nokia 3.4 were released in September. They completed their launch of new smartphones with the Nokia C1 plus and Nokia 5.4. So, we got three devices from the C series, two from the 5 series and one from the 1,2,3, and 8-series each. If we keep the count of last year's smartphones we might get to see the new Nokia 6,7, or 9 this year before anything else.

 

As the last year was about to end, there was some news about three new Nokia batteries being certified by the authorized bodies. According to the new certifications, the future Nokia smartphones might carry the 3,900mAh, 4,470mAh, and 5,050mAh batteries. The first two models were certified by TÜV Rheinland Japan and the latter by Element Materials Technology.

 

At least three new Nokia smartphones can be expected based on these certifications. We are not sure if there will be only three models or more that will appear as Nokia 3.4 and Nokia 5.4 share the same battery, so we can expect the same for the future smartphones as well. Currently, the maximum battery capacity supported by Nokia smartphones is 4,500mAh battery, that too only in Nokia 8.35G and Nokia 2.4. Hence, a 5,000mAh+ will be the first significant upgrade Nokia phones are going to have this year. Hopefully, it will come with the fast charging option. We don't know what next year will bring for us but I think it is time for Nokia to introduce bigger batteries and fast-charging technology to more devices.

 



With roughly half a week left until the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 is officially revealed on August 2, let us take a look at what we know already through leaks and rumors. To be frank, there isn't much left to the imagination as we have come across enough renders, leaked images and videos to have a pretty good idea about what to expect.


What's new?


The Galaxy Note 7 will be a pioneer for Samsung in two departments; it will be the first device to both sport a USB Type-C port as well as a first of its kind iris scanner. It will also be the first Note from Samsung's arsenal that will only be available in a dual Edge curved display variant. There was a flat screen variant as well and we have seen enough proof to convince us, but sadly, it never left the prototype stage.


What else?


Contrary to the popular rumor, the Note 7 will not be sporting a 5.8-inch display, but will stick to the 5.7-inch 1440p formula for now. There is a bit of controversy regarding the chipset that Samsung will use as it could be the same Snapdragon 820 SoC we are now used to seeing inside all major flagship devices of the year, but other more popular rumors/sources seem to indicate that the Note 7 will be powered by the Snapdragon 821 SoC (Exynos 8893 for the international version).


There is a speculation that suggests the Note 7 will come in three variants in terms of internal storage and two variants in terms of RAM. It appears that there could be both a 4GB and a 6GB version, separated by the price tag of course. Internal storage options will be 64GB, 128GB and a whopping 256GB! The camera setup will remain the same with the 12mp/5mp configuration seen on the S7 and S7 Edge.


It will come with the same water and dust resistant ratings of IP68 as the S7-series and will be available in Onyx, Blue Coral and Silver Titanium color variants. The Galaxy Note 7 will possibly run on Android Marshmallow, although, some rumors seem to be indicating that it could feature Android Nougat (7.0) right out of the box. We will just have to wait and see to find out more on August 2. In the meanwhile, check out this trailer we found on Samsung Mobile Korea's YouTube channel.

The Galaxy S9 and S9+ will be launched in roughly a month, but are you ready for it? Well, aside from oodles of cash which the phones will surely demand, here is everything you need to know to about the S9 and S9+.


• It will be launched during the last week of February, at the Mobile World Congress 2018 in Barcelona
• There will be a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 variant and a Exynos 980 variant, just like always
• Both versions will sport 4GB of RAM as well
• The 18.5:9 form factor will be retained at the same 5.8-inch and 6.2-inch sizes as the S8 and S8+ respectively

• The fingerprint scanner will remain at the S9's back, but it will be moved to a more comfortable position in the middle and below the camera
• Basic storage will begin at 64GB
• Dual camera setup is expected on both the devices (contrary to previous rumors)

According to some rumors, the future of the Galaxy Note series was in the dark. Some leaders suggest that there won't be any Galaxy Note next year, as Samsung has decided to cancel the series altogether. But these rumors proved to be false and we are expecting a new Galaxy Note phone in 2021. Two leakers with tweet handles @chunvn888 and @cozplanes confirmed that the Samsung galaxy note 21 is coming.

 

This isn't the first time we heard about the device. A few days ago, a Korean publication ET News stated that there will be a single Galaxy note model as a successor of note 20 next year. The latter says that he has confirmed from three reliable sources that the phone is under development and will be ready to ship by next year. He further adds that he expects other reliable leakers to report the same soon.

 

Chun on the other hand goes one step ahead and reveals some specs detail about the coming device. According to him, the Galaxy Note 21 is already taking shape and will be a successful successor to the Galaxy note 20 ultra - which means that we can have more than one model in the series - a regular one and an ultra model. The last time, Samsung launched a single Galaxy note phone in 2018. So, while it might come as a surprise, it is not unusual to have a single model. Samsung has integrated the S pen with a few more Galaxy phones this year, and this might be the reason Samsung isn't putting too many models in the Note series.

 


samsung

 

Samsung recently started to reduce the price of its existing mid-range smartphones in India. This clearly indicates that the company is creating space for its upcoming devices. According to the news, Samsung is ready to release its next-generation devices from Galaxy A and M series. Some speculation suggests the launch of Galaxy a31, A52, and A72 in the region.

 

The South Korean IT giant has already created support pages for the Galaxy A32 4G (SM-A325F/DS), Galaxy A32 5G (SM-A326B/DS), Galaxy A52 (SM-A525F/DS), and the Galaxy A72 (SM-A72F/DS) on the Samsung India's official website which further certifies the rumors about the release of these smartphones. So far, there is no news, or official support pages for the Galaxy A52 5G and the A72 5G yet, which means that we might not have these smartphones in the Indian market.

 

While the Galaxy A31 has already been released globally, the Galaxy A52 and the Galaxy A72 haven't hit any market yet. The Galaxy A32 5G is so far the company's cheapest smartphone with 5G capability featuring a 6.5-inch HD+ infinity-V LCD screen. The 5G variant is powered by MediaTek Dimensity 720 5G processing chip whereas, its 4G variant is rumored to be powered by a MediaTek Helio G85 processor. The phone features a quad-camera system with a 48MP primary camera at the rear side and a 13MP selfie camera. The device has a USB Type-C port and runs a 5,000mAh battery with 15W charging.

 

The Galaxy A52 4G and the Galaxy A72 4G features a 90Hz super AMOLED infinity-O display. The phone features a 64MP quad-camera system at the rear side and a 32MP selfie camera. The phone uses a USB Type-C port and 4,500mAh battery with 25W fast charging. The Galaxy a72 4G features a 6.7-inch display screen and powered by a 5,000mAh battery.

 


oppo reno

 

The year 2019 is about to end, and it is reported that the company is planning to launch the Oppo Reno S in India in December with a 64MP camera, 65W fast charging and a snapdragon 855 Plus Soc. There are rumors about the next Reno called Oppo Reno 3 which could be launched soon with quad-camera setup, 90Hz display.


The device has a 4500mAh battery which is good enough to keep the phone alive with a single charge for a whole day even with heavy use. The phone is powered by a Snapdragon 735 Soc processing chip. The Reno 3 has an upgraded version of the processing chip over its predecessor. The Snapdragon 735 Soc is yet to be announced by Qualcomm. This chip is also expected to have integrated support for the 5G network.


Oppo Reno 3 is rumored to include a 60MP main camera sensor supported by 8MP, 13MP, and 2MP camera. The Reno 2 is offering a 32MP camera for the selfies. The phone is said to house a 4500mAh battery with support for 30W VOCC 4.0 fast charging. There's no clarity if the shark-fin pop-up module seen on the Oppo Reno 2, will make a return or not. The tipster suggests that the phone will sport an in-display fingerprint scanner and come with 5G support.


As mentioned, Oppo Reno 3 price and specifications have leaked on Weibo. According to the tipster, the Oppo Reno 3 will be priced at CNY 3,299 (roughly Rs. 33,400) for the 8GB RAM + 128GB model, and CNY 3,599 (roughly Rs. 36,400) for the 8GB RAM + 256GB model.


SD 820

 

At MWC 2015, Qualcomm just officially announced the Snapdragon 820 Soc (System-on-chip). The chipset will be built on a FinFET manufacturing process, but Qualcomm didn't specify if this means TSMC's 16nm or Samsung's 14nm tech will be used the SD 820.

 

The star of the Snapdragon 820 chip, which debuts Qualcomm's Zeroth platform. It promises to be a cognitive computing platform, which means that it can anticipate users needs and actions in advance. One real-life application of the platform as demoed on stage is a camera recognizing the subject of the photo.

 

SD 820

 

Inside the chip Qualcomm's custom ARMv8 CPU core also makes a first appearance. Dubbed Kryo, it sports 64-bit architecture, but at this point there aren't any more details regarding it.

 

Qualcomm says it will start sampling the Snapdragon 820 in the second half of 2015. This leaves us to anticipate the first devices rocking the chip early 2016. Expect more information about the Snapdragon 820 as it becomes available.

We all know about Trump's obsession to ban Chinese products and apps. And just recently, trump administration banned a popular Chinese social media app, WeChat. This new US sanction would force Apple to delete the app from its App store so no one could use it. The action taken wasn't appreciated by Apple and many other tech companies doing business with China as this may result in a significant setback from the Chinese public. A new report suggests that Apple plans to push back on the ban because of the negative impact company has to face due to the ban. A survey being conducted says that more than 95 percent of Chinese users would rather replace the iPhone with an Android phone than lose WeChat.

 


At the moment, it is not clear that if the ban on the WeChat app is strictly restricted to just the US App Store or applies internationally. Tencent, the parent company of WeChat, stated that they believe that the ban is limited to US states but the ban may need some clarity from the Trump administration. According to another survey at Bloomberg, around 1 million Chinese Apple users said that they would rather switch to an Android device than use an iPhone if they don't get WeChat. A HongKong user said that banning WeChat would make an iPhone into electronic trash. Another stated that all of his family members use WeChat for day-to-day communication.

 


A Wall Street Journal report also revealed that more than a dozen big tech and E-commerce companies are reluctant to accept the order including Apple, Ford, Walmart, and Disney. These companies are pushing back against the ban. They have decided to pursue and talk with White House representatives about the negative consequences of a ban that WeChat might have on their business. With WeChat being used to payments, E-Commerce, and marketing as well, the company is confident that US businesses may find it very difficult to sell smartphones in China without the app.

Blizzard received a lot of fan hate when they confirmed that the newly announced Diablo Immortal is going to be exclusive to smartphones and there is ample reason to justify the outrage, but they were right about one thing though; smartphones are now more powerful than ever before and they can become excellent portable consoles all on their own, as long as there are enough good games to play. As 2019 is all set to be big for Android and iOS games, the question is, are you equipped with a smartphone that can handle modern games?


The CPU-GPU Combo


In smartphones and tablets, the graphics card and the processor comes in as one single unit and in order to have the best experience with modern games such as PUBG or Fortnite, your phone needs to have any of the following SoCs.


·        Qualcomm Snapdragon 845


·        Kirin 980


·        Apple A12 or A12x Bionic


·        Exynos 9810


Not that anything less than a flagship won't do, but the experience won't really be comparable to what any of the above SoCs can offer.


The Big Screen


mate-20-x


The era of the small smartphones is practically over, especially since even the 6-inch form factor is so manageable these days due to the widescreen aspect ratios and negligible bezels. Look for a smartphone that has a 6-inch+ OLED display. The resolution itself is not as important as long as it's at least 1080p, because a lower than QHD+ resolution will actually make for a better gaming performance. The Galaxy Note 9, the iPhone XS Max and the Vivo Nex are great devices to consider in this respect.


The Battery


razer-phone-2


This is where the flagship smartphones usually sacrifice but in 2018, that has not always been the case. You will get huge 4,000mAh batteries with the Galaxy Note 9, the Vivo Nex, the liquid cooled Pocofone F1 and the Razer Phone 2. Do not buy anything that has a battery smaller than 3,500mAh.


These are the top specs that you need to be looking for, if playing games is what you want to do the most on your smartphone. The upcoming Huawei Mate 20 X looks very promising on every regard too, but we will have to wait and see if it is released anywhere outside Asia.

Although no one can really tell when it will actually be making its way onto your particular smartphone model and region, what we can tell you is that the monthly security patch for July is finally ready and Samsung could be rolling it out to your smartphone anytime now. Unfortunately, that "anytime" encompasses a very long time for some handsets, but latest higher end and flagship models should be seeing the update notification by next week.

 

In order to keep the securities and vulnerabilities from being exploited, Samsung has not unveiled them all as you would expect. Nevertheless, feel free to check out the public info which is available here. It seems that this month's base Android Security Maintenance Release addresses 65 common vulnerabilities and bugs shared by all Android-powered smartphones. Of course, as always, Samsung will also include some of his own patches (16 this month) specific to its own smartphone models. If any of you have already started to receive the July security patch on your Samsung smartphone or Tablet, do inform us in the comments.

 

Head over to our firmware section to find all the latest available updates for your Samsung smartphones and tablets.
