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.

The Samsung Galaxy X SM-G888 Foldable Smartphone Details and Release date

Author:
The rumours of Samsung releasing a folding smart-phone has now been confirmed. Although an official name has not been decided for this phone, its being called the Samsung Galaxy X (this brings the iPhone X to mind doesn't it). What we know for sure is that its Model number will be SM-G888 . Lets talk a bit about how this revolutionary phone is going to look. By fold-able, what do we actually refer to, I mean is Samsung trying to take us back to the era of feature phones, or is this just a nostalgia thing. According to sketches submitted by Samsung Electronics to the Korean Intellectual Property Office (being labelled as “Flexible Electronic Device”), we see that the smart-phone is going to feature a flip phone/clamshell design (I know right??). The sketch also shows that the device will be folded inwards. But before you start thinking “numeric-keypad”, it was also noted that the device will be fully touch-screen, consisting of two displays, one of which will be flexible a...

Apple sets out to Acquire Shazam.

Author:
Apple plans to delve further into the music sector by acquiring Shazam, an app that allows users to identify a song by listening to the clip from any part of the song or film or a TV program. The deal was described by a source that it would be dealt in 9 figures while another estimates that it would be about $400 million. Although according to the last valuation the company had back in 2015, it was estimated to be about $1.02 billion dollars according to Pitchbook and hence it is most likely going to be sold lower than that. The deal will definitely be a big one for apple as the app is a widely used one. It was observed to have passed the 1 billion downloads back in September, 2016 which is definitely going to be higher now. Also the app has raised a total of $143 million dollars for a number of investors which also includes Kleiner Perkins which was observed to have also invested in their competitor, Soundcloud. Shazam also made about 54 million dollars in revenues in 2016 ...

The LG G7 ThinQ was finally released for sale about a week ago, and despite the rough landing they've had in previous releases, this particular model has managed to score so much as 70,000 pre-order sales in just six days. This is almost twice as much as the G6 sale (40,000) around the same time frame last year. Note this is just in South Korea, so there's still a chance to get higher sales numbers when it eventually goes global. Source

Google Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL Details and Specifications

Author:
The Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL smartphones have just been unveiled by Google as an upgrade to the ‘Pixel’ and ‘Pixel XL’. Google Pixel 2 The Google Pixel is an upgrade over Its predecessor. It comes equipped with a 5” AMOLED display, and a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, which is not much of an upgrade but the compact size should be welcomed by folks that do not have large hands. The bezels on the top and the bottom of the Pixel 2, whilst sporting stereo speakers, comes off as a disappointment with the “Full Vision “18:9 screens and “edge-to-edge” displays being the hype of 2017. The Pixel 2 sports a rather nifty feature that appears to have been borrowed from the HTC U11. The devices can detect pressure on the sides of the phone, i.e. you can squeeze the device in order to activate certain pre-set commands such as activating Google Assistant etc. The Pixel 2 is powered by the 8-core Snapdragon 835 SoC by Qualcomm which is paired up nicely with 4GB o...
