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.

  Oppo F5 Overview and Specifications

Author:
The Oppo F5 was just launched in the Philippines after the countless number of adverts. The device features the first 18:9 display from Oppo with an accompanying FHD+ resolution. The F5 is a rather decent mid-range device with an elegant and sleek design, reminiscent of the iPhones though. DISPLAY Look at that device up there (seriously look at it). The F5’s display is beautifully crafted and curved on both sides. With a 6.0-inch screen, featuring a resolution of 1080x2160 pixels giving a tall 18:9 aspect resolution. The panel is an IPS LCD panel, so no awards won there, however the display is gorgeous and rather impressive. CAMERA The camera on this device is a 16MP unit with an f/1.8 aperture and features clear focus. The selfie camera is where the F5 really shines with an amazing 20MP unit and an f/2.0 aperture.

Innjoo Vision Review and Specifications

Author:
Chinese OEM, Innjoo, just announced a new smartphone for the Nigerian market. Dubbed ‘Vision’, this device is poised to be budget friendly and should offer more than enough value for money offering 4G LTE connectivity and a great battery. DISPLAY The Vision packs a 5.8-inch IPS LCD screen with a HD+ (720 x 1280px) resolution. This gives it an 18:9 aspect ratio in a bid to keep up with the 2017 trend. The screen of this device is rather impressive with a touch of 2.5D glass blending the screen to the near invincible bezels on the sides of the display. CAMERA Innjoo Vision Rear The camera on the rear of this device is an 13MP unit. The actual manufacturer is not stated but given the price range, it could be a GalaxyCore sensor or an aging Sony IMX sensor and a 5-piece lens. The selfie shooter is an 8MP unit. Both cameras come with “Enhanced capture” and Bokeh effect. There is also an After Focus editor to modify the focus range/point of your images. PERFORM...

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...

LG G7 with ThinQ AI features hit the market with 70000 pre-orders

Author:
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

Amazon to launch Echo, Echo Plus and Echo Dot in Japan

Author:
After Amazon launched the Echo, Echo Plus, and Echo Dot in Japan some days ago, it made the hardware together with the Alexa voice assistant available in the country. While Amazon claims to have an Alexa voice search for Japan soon, developers can gain access to Alexa skills which also has support for Japanese and it has Alexa available for customers also along with a list of apps and services that amazon has to offer. While this new device might help to boost amazon’s market in Japan, it is very unlikely that it will help them to overtake Rakuten, as Japan’s biggest E-commerce firm. Although Amazon has offered e-books in Japan since 2010 and as of today has a full suite of Prime services, considerable amount of work would still be required if they are to ever overtake Rakuten. Due to the fact that Japan has the third largest Global economy, Amazon would still be in for a potentially lucrative market in Japan.   Amazon also launched a basic edition of its Fire TV Stic...

The iPhone X full phone review and specifications

Author:
       When we talk about the iPhone series, a lot comes to mind, and one of those things is the cutting edge they build into their products, in light of this, the iPhone X (ten) is no exception and this article shows what the 1000 dollar smartphone will do for you.  Design        Alright first off, let’s talk aesthetics, Apple took quite a bit of a different approach on the iPhone X, ditching the bezels and taking out the home button (more on that in a moment). The front and back has a complete glass finish which according to Apple are supposedly the more durable on a smart phone, but you really don’t wanna test that out cause apparently a glass replacement for the back of the iPhone X costs about three times as much as the screen replacement, so do the math. The part of the smartphone that isn’t glass is made with surgical grade stainless steel which has been sealed for dust and water resistance. According to Apple the iphone X will be ...
