Xiaomi Mi 9X specs leaked, supposedly coming in April
Last week we came across an XDA report, which revealed three new Xiaomi device codenamed "pyxis", "bamboo_sprout", and "cosmos_sprout". All three feature in-display fingerprint sensors, with the latter two run on Android One, leading us to believe they will eventually go official as Mi A3 and Mi A3 lite. The "pyxis" should be the next Xioami X phone - a toned down version of the flagship following in the footsteps of the Mi 6X. And today we got to learn the specs of that alleged Mi 9X. According to the leak, the Mi 9X will feature a waterdrop notch 6.4" FHD AMOLED display with a 32MP...
WhatsApp's latest Android beta gets Dark Mode
WhatsApp is one of the most popular messaging apps in the world right now, but it still lacks some useful features that are present on competing apps like Telegram - one of them being Dark Mode. WhatsApp is working on Dark Mode since last September. We even got a glimpse of what the Dark Mode would look like on WhatsApp for iOS. And now, we are happy to report that the company has started testing this much-requested feature on its Android app as well. WhatsApp has begun testing Dark Mode on its beta app for Android bearing version 2.19.82. However, as this feature is still under...
Huawei P30 and P30 Pro announcement coverage wrap-up
Huawei's new flagships are proof that good things take time. The Huawei P30 Pro aims to become the new camera king, thanks to its 5x periscope zoom camera and one of a kind 40MP sensor with yellow sub pixels. The P30 Pro and the Huawei P30 use same Kirin 980 chipset and offer OLED screens with in-display fingerprint readers and 32MP selfie cameras inside a teardrop notch (the selfie cam is much better than Huawei's previous efforts, by the way). Now's the time to make sure you haven't missed anything from the announcement event. Huawei P30 Pro ...
Samsung to miss market expectations in Q1 2019
As the first quarter of 2019 draws to an end Samsung delivered a warning to investors about lower-than-expected demand for chip sales and display panels. The component market is in a steady decline and Korean sources claim that instead of the earlier estimated KRW7.981 trillion, profit will be under KRW7 trillion, which is half the KRW15.6 trillion profit from twelve months ago. The display and chip market accounts for over 3/4 of the total revenue for Samsung Electronics. Competitors are providing better prices for LTPS LCDs, pushing manufacturers to ditch the OLED solution. The...
Xiaomi pokes fun at Huawei P30 Pro
It's not just millennials, companies engage in meme wars too - earlier today Huawei took a swipe at Apple and has now itself come under attack from Xiaomi. As they say, it's an older meme, sir, but it checks out. 🤔 pic.twitter.com/dnHbuAnvV1 Xiaomi UK (@XiaomiUK) March 26, 2019 That is not to say that it is necessarily the truth. The Huawei P30 and P30 Pro use the Kirin 980, which is a 7nm chipset with Cortex-A76-based CPU cores. So, not unlike the Snapdragon 855 chipset that Xiaomi uses for its own flagships. Head over to the Performance section of our P30 Pro review to...
