Yesterday Xiaomi announced the Mi CC9 Pro with a 108 MP Penta-camera, and today it introduced its global version. The name of the phone across the world will be Xiaomi Mi Note 10, and aside from some price differences and the availability of Google services, everything else is the same. We also got a teaser for the Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Pro - which is the international equivalent of what the Chinese market will get as the Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro Premium Edition. The Mi Note 10 Pro brings an 8P lens in front of the 108 MP sensor and some extra RAM and storage but shares the rest of its hardware with the regular Mi Note 10.

At a recent joint press conference with Samsung in China, Vivo announced that the X30 will arrive in December with Exynos 980 SoC and support for 5G. The Exynos 980 SoC was unveiled in early September and it is the world's first mid-range chipset with an integrated 5G modem. It supports dual-mode 5G and promises download speeds of up to 2.55Gbps. And, with 4G and 5G downlinks combined, it can reach speeds of up to 3.55Gbps. The Exynos 980 SoC is built on the 8nm FinFET process and consists of two Cortex-A77 cores clocked at 2.2GHz and six Cortex-A55 cores running at 1.8GHz. Additionally, the chipset comes with the Mali-G76 MP5 GPU to handle graphically intensive tasks like gaming and photo and video editing.

  Samsung is celebrating ten years of Galaxy S flagships next year and the company is planning a new anniversary smartphone to mark the occassion. At first, we heard about a trio of new phones with up to three cameras at the rear, and later we had a confirmation from DJ Koh, the Mobile Division CEO that none of them would be foldable - this will be an entirely different smartphone.

Xiaomi is yet to announce the Redmi Note 6 Pro, intended for the Indian market. Earlier leaked specs suggested the phone will have Snapdragon 660 and 4/64 GB memory combination. Thanks to some leaked photos of the retail box of the phone and the device itself, we know more specs. The Redmi Note 6 Pro will have a 6.26” screen with a notch, four cameras and a huge battery. The display will come with 19:9 ratio and Full HD+ resolution that translates to 2280 x 1080 pixels. The main camera setup will be 12 MP + 5 MP with 1.4µm pixel size and dual pixel autofocus, which looks like what Mi 8 SE has on its back. The selfie snappers are 20 MP + 2 MP and both secondary cams appear to be for background blur in Portrait mode.

Google has released its own podcasting app for Android, called Google Podcasts. The app is now available for free on the Google Play Store. There is no iOS app available at the moment nor have they announced any plans on releasing one. Google Podcasts is a very simple podcasting app. You can search and subscribe to podcasts and Google includes a fairly robust library of podcasts so you'll find almost anything here. Once subscribed, episodes can be downloaded for offline playback or just streamed. Progress syncs across your Google account and you can continue playing on the Google Home where you left on your phone. Apart from that, the app doesn't do much. You can't import an OPML file so if you use another podcasting file you have no option but to re-subscribe to all your podcasts, which for some could be many. You can adjust playback speed but you can't skip over silences like some other podcasting apps (Google claims this feature is present but I couldn...

Huawei is one of the biggest smartphone manufacturers in the world and thus needs to become less reliant hardware produced outside the company. The in-house production should help bring the cost of devices down and maybe try to compete with Qualcomm's dominance in the mobile market. The latest news about an upcoming Kirin SoC might change all that. And no, we are not talking about the Kirin 980. With its newest HiSilicon 970 chipset, the company gets closer to Qualcomm's top-shelf chips, but still, the Kirin 970 isn't on par with the Snapdragon 845 in terms of raw performance, although it brought world's first AI chip on board. Sources say that the still unannounced Kirin 980 will finally be able to compete with Qualcomm's flagship chipset thanks to the advanced 7nm manufacturing process from TSMC, which would probably be the key selling point of the rumored Mate 20.

Today Samsung has decided to bring the 128GB and 256GB Galaxy S9 and S9+ to the USA. Both iterations will become available to pre-order tomorrow, on May 1. They will be released on May 18, exclusively at Samsung.com. We assume the company has surveyed the market and figured out there wouldn't be a lot of demand for these storage versions. Otherwise, selling them exclusively through its online store wouldn't make a lot of sense.

Today Samsung has decided to unveil the Galaxy A6 and A6+. The mid-range duo brings the company's signature bezel-starved Super AMOLED Infinity Display to a whole new price point, along with its 18.5:9 aspect ratio. The Galaxy A6's display measures 5.6" diagonally, and has 720x1,480 resolution. The phone has a 16 MP f/1.7 rear shooter and a 16 MP f/1.9 selfie snapper with an LED flash of its own. The handset is powered by an octa-core 1.6 GHz CPU, aided by 3/4GB of RAM and 32/64GB of internal storage, depending on which exact model you buy. In any case note that the device supports microSD expansion, with cards up to 256GB in size.

It seems Xiaomi is keen to produce every type of hardware you can think of, now adding a gaming laptop to its roster of devices. The Mi Gaming Laptop is a 15.6-inch device with a 7th gen Intel Core i7 or i5 CPU, a 256GB SSD + 1TB HDD and either an Nvidia GTX 1060 or an Nvidia GTX 1050 Ti. The more capable i7/GTX1060 model comes with 16GB of RAM, while the i5/1050Ti units will have 8GB.

Finally, after a truckload of leaks and rumors the Mi Mix 2s is here in all its glory. It comes with a more powerful chipset and much more impressive dual-camera setup, but a design very similar to the Mi Mix 2. The Mix 2s shaves just a millimeter vertically and horizontally to improve the screen-to-body ratio slightly, but that's hardly a difference you will spot in real life. Then again, the metal frame and ceramic body still look gorgeous.

It was expected of Sharp to announce its Aquos S3 on March 28 but here we are, the phone went official a few days early. Sharp says that the Aquos S3 is the most compact 6-inch smartphone in the world, measuring 148.2mm x 74.2mm - that's 3.5mm shorter and 1.2mm narrower than the 6-inch LG V30.

The Oppo F7 is official and it fills the gap between Oppo's entry level A1 and the flagship Oppo R15 and R15 Dream Mirror. On the front the Oppo F7 packs in a 6.23-inch 2280x1080px LCD with a tall 19:9 aspect ratio and a notch housing the 25MP selfie camera, the earpiece and the sensors. The front camera is the selling point of the self-styled "Selfie Expert" Oppo F7. It's a 25MP f/2.0 shooter and the presentation was very keen to point out all the software enhancements it brings.

When we read Samsung’s patent about measuring blood pressure with an optical sensor, we imagined it will be used on smartwatches in the future. So imagine our surprise to find out that the Galaxy S9 and S9+ have just such a sensor. Besides blood pressure, the phone can measure your stress levels as well. Samsung also plans to expand Bixbi’s skills to allow it to judge the calories of a meal just by looking at it through the camera. This tech was co-developed with the University of California San Francisco in a collaboration dubbed My BP Lab.

Sony has announced the new A7 III, which includes a whole host of new features and improvements that brings it in line with the more prolific members of the A7 series, such as the A7R III and the A9. The A7 III features a brand new full-frame 24.2MP backside illuminated EXMOR R CMOS sensor and an updated BIONZ X image processor. The ISO range has been expanded to ISO 100 - 51200. The dynamic range has been expanded to 15-stop but no one really knows what that means. The camera can shoot full resolution images at 10fps with continuous AF/AE for up to 177 JPEGs, 80 compressed RAWs and 40 uncompressed RAWs. It also includes in-body image stabilization for 5-axis stability when used with stabilized lenses.

You can already  pre-order  the  Samsung Galaxy S9  and  Galaxy S9+  in India but until now, we didn't know the official prices. An alleged official listing clears things up, and details just how pricey Samsung's new flagship duo will be. According to the list prices the Galaxy S9 starts at around €780 for the 64GB and tops out at nearly €900. The Galaxy S9+ is almost €900 for the base 64GB model and stops just shy of €1000 for the 256 gig one. Samsung Galaxy S9 64GB INR 62,500 €780 Samsung Galaxy S9 256GB INR 71,000 €887 Samsung Galaxy S9+ 64GB INR 70,000 €874 Samsung Galaxy S9+ 256GB INR 79,000 €986 Those prices are about what we expected from Samsung. Pre-orders for the Galaxy S9 duo are up in  the US ,  Canada  and  the UK  and orders are expected to start shipping in early March. Source: gsmarena Source Follow us on Twitter ...

With the Galaxy S9 phones, the focus was on improving the camera. To that end, Samsung unveiled the ISOCELL Fast 2L3 image sensor with on-board DRAM and 960fps video recording. The new ISOCELL Fast 2L3 sensor has a 3-layer design. Usually, the first layer holds the pixels that capture light, the second layer converts that into a digital information to be sent to the chipset for processing and finally to the phone’s RAM. Samsung has added a third layer, 512MB DRAM, that can quickly read and store the data from the sensor – much faster than the chipset can. This enables video capture at 960fps for a cool 32x slow down. The sensor also features motion detection so it can start the slow-motion recording faster than you can.

Samsung has just unpacked the new Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ flagship duo in Barcelona. The new devices are helming Samsung's 2018 smartphone portfolio with new hardware but old looks. Both S9 and S9+ retain the familiar glass-sandwich design with water-proofing, aluminum frame, curved Gorilla glasses, and everything. Samsung has trimmed the screen bezels a bit and thus both phones have smaller footprints than their respective predecessors - if insignificantly so.

MediaTek unveiled the Helio P60 – a mid-range chip that will challenge the Helio X30. And it goes without saying that it has hardware to accelerate AI tasks, the NeuroPilot core. The P60 is built on TSMC’s 12nm FF process (rather than 10nm FF+ like the X30). It has four Coretex-A73 cores clocked at 2.0GHz and four A53 cores also at 2.0Ghz. That’s a massive jump in performance compared to the previous P-series chips – MediaTek promises a whopping 70% boost compared to the P30!

At the beginning of this week some contradictory pricing information for Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S9 and S9+ got leaked. Today Evan Blass, a.k.a. @evleaks, only adds to the confusion with the newly outed images you can see below. So according to this usually reliable source, the S9 will set you back €841, while the S9+ will be priced at €997. The big question here is where these prices are supposedly from - what country or market, specifically. Since they're in euros you'd expect them to be valid across the Eurozone (or at least in one of the countries in it), but very rarely have we seen official recommended retail prices that don't end in 9. In this case, €849 and €999, respectively, would be much more believable for that part of the world.
