Samsung Galaxy S Light Luxury now Official

Author:
The Galaxy S Light Luxury was just announced in China packing very modest specs, the device is pretty much a "lite" variant of the Galaxy S8. The 5.8' screen from the S8 makes a return keeping the same dimensions as its bigger brother. The Light S features the same Super AMOLED panel with 1,080 x 2,220 px resolution (18.5:9). The phone has a single camera on the back - 16 MP sensor and an f/1.7 aperture. It can record 4K video at 30 fps, but OIS is absent (surprisingly). The selfie camera has an 8 MP sensor with an f/1.7 aperture. The Snapdragon 660 chipset inside the Galaxy S Light Luxury should offer similar CPU performance to the Galaxy S8's 835. It does have 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage. Given the Galaxy S Light Luxury's size, it shouldn’t be a surprise that there’s a 3,000 mAh battery – the same capacity as the Galaxy S8. There’s support for fast wireless and wired charging, the latter of which goes over the USB-C port....

Huawei Mate 10 Pro with Porsche Design: Review and Specifications

Author:


Chinese OEM Huawei just took the wraps off their latest flagship device, The Mate 10 Pro. This device features some really impressive features, from the screen to the AI engine and the Dual Leica cameras that grace the rear of this beautiful device.

DISPLAY


Talk of premium. The Huawei Mate 10 Pro has an impressive 6” AMOLED screen with the new rave 18:9 aspect ratio. The resolution has seen somewhat of a slight downgrade to achieve the wide aspect ratio. Unlike the Mate 9’s QHD (1440 x 2560px) and 534ppi, the Mate 10 Pro features a FHD+ resolution of 1080 x 2160px and a 402ppi.
The sides of the phone are near “bezeless” or as the OEM terms it, “barely-there-bezel” (weird, right?). There is also support for HDR10 which covers 112% of the NTSC colour space for a rather pleasant and amazing viewing experience.



 CAMERA

The cameras gracing the rear of the device feature Leica lenses. The setup consists of the regular 20MP sensor for stills and video and a 12MP monochrome sensor. The main sensor features a large f/1.6 lens and Optical Image Stabilization (OIS). The AI-accelerator of the Kirin 970 chipset termed the “NPU” assists the cameras real-time scene detection, enhances digital zoom and motion detection.



SoC, DESIGN & FEATURES


The Hisilicon Kirin 970 chipset, which is an in-house SoC developed by Huawei, makes its debut on the Mate 10 Pro. Featuring an Octa-core processor, the Mali G71 MP12 GPU also makes its first appearance here. The G71 MP12 promises a 40% improvement in performance over the older G71 designs.
The Mate 10 Pro runs Huawei’s EMUI 8.0 based on Android Oreo. The Smart Screen feature allows users run two apps simultaneously or mirror the screen to a larger screen using a DisplayPort-compatible monitor via the USB-C port.



Storage options start at 64GB for the regular edition, while the Porsche Edition comes with 256GB of storage. Both of them are equipped with 6GB of RAM. A 4,000mAh battery is responsible for keeping the lights on and Huawei’s “SuperCharge” promises a day’s worth of juice in just 20 minutes. IP67 dust and water resistance (up to 1 metre for 30 minutes) is present but the 3.5mm audio jack decided to take a rain check.

iOS Apps Can Spy on You Through Your iPhone's Camera

Author:
Another privacy loophole in the apple iOS was discovered when top iOS researcher and founder of Fastlane Tools, Felix Krause, noticed the problem in the mobile firmware. He said that apple was leaving its camera and recording access so loosely such that third party apps can easily spy on users without any warning. Krause explained that “iOS users often grant camera access to an app soon after they download it (e.g. to add an avatar or to send a photo) and these apps, like a messaging app or any news feed based app, can easily track the users face, take pictures, or live stream the front or back camera without the user’s content.” He further explained that a worse-case scenario will be an app that is installed and asks once for the camera access to either take an avatar or upload an image but then secretly upload pictures of the user on the internet. He also noticed that under the latest iOS version apps have been given to much freedom in the sense that it cou...

What to Expect of the Blackberry Motion - Review and Specs

Author:
For some time there have been rumors about BlackBerry’s new release - that goes by the name “BlackBerry Krypton” (pretty powerful name huh?) floating around , I haven't really known much about the upcoming product except its month of launch … Until now that is. Recently renowned leaker Mr. Evan Blass put a face (so to speak) to our thoughts, guesses and rumors on Twitter with the name BlackBerry “Motion”. His Twitter handle put out the photo accompanied with the text “Goodbye, Krypton. Hello, BlackBerry Motion”. Why that name? I can’t say for sure but it could be guessed that it probably has something to do with a specially featured function. Now down to her looks, as gotten from the photo of our dear leaker Mr. Blass. Much like its earlier released sibling –The BlackBerry DTEK50, her creators have forgone the physical keyboard (a signature feature design of BB’s for years) could this be the norm for BlackBerry’s succeeding devices? Might be, might not be. But personally the...

Innjoo Vision Review and Specifications

Author:
Chinese OEM, Innjoo, just announced a new smartphone for the Nigerian market.

MY TOP ANIME OF 2017 ( FIRST HALF)    

Author:
Having this as my first write up, I’ll say that you pardon my speech pattern and organization. I’ll probably get to used to it the more I write and also I hope to get a positive feedback from you guys at the end of the write up So basically here’s my own arrangement of the top animes that is to be seen in the first half of the year. I was thinking of arranging them irrationally and with no specific order but I decided to place the personaly according to the order that I feel is more interesting. So first off, I’m still in my anime grooming phase so I beckon on the anime otaku(s) to not judge me so hard. Alright, lets get to it. 1. Boruto I know I know, this kid of makes me come off as a Naruto fanatic, but really I just love a good anime and while Borut clearly seems to come from Naruto (obviously I mean he’s naruto’s son), there’s this added mystery to what boruto can offer us. I mean I hate to give spoilers but we have the dojutsu on his right eye whose abilities ha...
