It’s has been five month since the launch of Xiaomi Mi 6, and fortunately, the Chinese manufacturer has plans to release the new flagship in this series. This Xiaomi Mi 7 might be the strongest phone from the company with 8GB RAM and a massive 5800 mAh battery. Read our article to learn more.

Xiaomi Mi 7: 8GB RAM, 5800 mAh battery and more

For several month, the rumors around the Xiaomi Mi 7, the next flagship from the Chinese company, have been all over the internet. However, we finally have some confirmed information about this device. First of all, in term of design, there are going to have some minor changes. Instead of using the same 5.15-inch FullHD display as in Mi 6, Xiaomi has decided that its new handset is going to sport a 6-inch full HD AMOLED screen from Samsung. Additionally, the new Mi 7 will also have a nearly bezel-less design.

Moving on to the hardware, this time, Xiaomi has made some big changes. The soon-to-be-revealed Xiaomi Mi 7 handset might use the Snapdragon 845, the newest chipset from Qualcomm. If this turned out to be true, this new smartphone would be one of the phones using this processor. Moreover, the device might sport 8GB RAM and at least 64GB ROM. For the battery life, we expect it would be much higher than the 3350 mAh battery of its brother. A massive 5800 mAh battery is completely possible with a motivated company like Xiaomi.

Lastly, speaking of photography system, Xiaomi Mi 7 cameras come with dual 16+16MP on the rear as primary snapper. Furthermore, the selfie camera is also a 16MP that is right there on the front face. There is a an ultra fast fingerprint scanner at the back of the device as well. We believe the Mi 7 would run on Android Oreo and with the newesr Xiaomi’s own interface, MIUI, layered on the top.

Xiaomi Mi 7 release date and price

We expect to see the Xiaomi Mi 7 release date in the first quarter of 2018, though no official date has been revealed yet. The Xiaomi Mi 7 price is expected to be around RM. 2937 (about $700). Stay tuned for more updates!

There are so many smartphone companies joining in the bezel-less phones trend. And this time, maybe HTC is going to participate in with its new device called R. Let’s have a look at these photos below and see what HTC R concept might be!

HTC R: Bezel-less design, 16GB RAM, 42MP Carl Zeiss,…

After the success of the U11 brand, the name HTC has started to rise again. Therefore, for the time being, people have started to speculate what the Taiwanese company will do with its next devices. There’s a lot of concept photos for the soon-to-be-revealed handset on the internet. Therefore, we are going to present to you a concept that we find remarkably stunning and have such outstanding specs. This design is created by Hasan Kaymak and the name for this concept is R.

Now, let’s check for its specs. The HTC R in Kaymak’s mind would be a phablet with 6″ screen with OLED display. Moreover, the designer thinks this time HTC will have a dual front-facing camera system. One of the lenses is a 18MP shooter, whereas the other one would be a 12MP ultra wide angle for group selfies. At the back, the smartphone would have an impressive 42MP Carl Zeiss lens. We believe if this system came true, the flagship can compete directly with big names like Samsung Galaxy Note 8 or Apple iPhone X.

Moreover, to catch up with its amazing design, the HTC R would also need to have incredible specs. First of all, this device sports an unbelievable 16GB RAM. Furthermore, Kaymak thinks the company would offer us a phone with an extraordinary 512GB of internal storage. The design doesn’t mention the battery life in his concept, however, in our opinion, this phablet would also come with at least a 4000 mAh battery.

HTC R: That’s what we call a Beast!

Overall, we think this concept is amazing, we can’t complain about anything, from the design to the specs. Everything is much better than what we have thought. Hopefully, when HTC plans to launch a new smartphone, that device would look like this.

Moreover, the phone has a 720×1280 HD display. Nevertheless, the handset only has 1GB RAM and 16GB of  expandable internal storage.

Surprisingly, despite its low-end hardware, this Goophone X still has a dual camera setup. It has a Dual 8MP camera at the back and a 2MP lens for the front-facing shooter. Additionally, the device gets power from a 21000 mAh battery.

Most people use their smartphones for entertainment, but some prefer a work oriented device. Knowing that today we bring you our choices for best productivity flagships.

1. Apple iPhone 8 plus

Just released a few hours ago, the Apple iPhone 8 plus has proven to be an indispensable partner to whoever relies on tech gadget in their work. Much of this is thanks to the iOS that puts user experience at the highest priority. The efficiency at which the OS runs the device allows you to run the apps needed for your works without delay.

In combination with the already powerful OS, the new iPhone 8 plus comes with new and upgraded hardware to make it even more of a beast phone. The specs sheet shows six cores instead of four in the CPU. And running it is the Apple homemade A11 chipset. For the memory, the device measures 3GB RAM and 64/256GB storage. Usually, 3GB is too little for a smartphone. But this is the iOS we are talking about so more anything above 3GB is likely wasted potential.

2. Samsung Galaxy Note 8

What is better than your trusty pen& paper notes? A “Note” that takes pictures like a DSLR, runs like a computer and an S pen to operate the said “Note.” Yep, that’s the description for the Galaxy Note 8 from Samsung. With 6-inch, super AMOLED display, taking notes with the device feels just as comfortable as with papers. So maybe it’s time you let your old pal pen&paper enjoy their retirement and employ the new Samsung flagship?

3. LG V30

Just like the Note 8, the V30 from LG features a huge 6-inches, P-OLED screen to replace your paper notes. Unlike the Note 8, the V30 doesn’t need a pen to bring it to unleash its full potential. Moreover, this device focuses more on the camera with a dual 16+13MP lens. And for the record, that lens possesses the largest aperture today of f/1.6. On the other side, the selfie cam sports 8MP resolution sensors. So in a sense, the LG V30 says “why write when you can just take a picture?”

4. Xiaomi Mi Mix 2

It seems that Xiaomi wants to take the “no delay” approach like Apple but via hardware instead of software. Indeed, the Mi Mix 2 specs sheet has one of the biggest numbers. There is a 5.99-inch, 2K display, 8GB RAM, 128GB storage and a Snapdragon 835 chipset with an 8-cores CPU. In a word, if speed and a large screen are what you are looking for, this phone is for you.

5. Huawei Mate 10

Another Chinese phone on the contender list is the Huawei Mate 10. The device features Huawei’s self-manufacture chipset the Kirin 970. Additionally, the phone has a 5.99-inch, 2K display and 6GB RAM with two storage options: 64/128GB. The main camera boast 20+12MP with f/1.6 aperture.

For those who love the Android OS, having a phone that runs the original version is always a dream. And today, those dreams have come true because here is our list of best stock Android smartphones.

1. Essential PH-1

What is better than a stock Android device? It’s a stock Android device made by the original developer of Android himself, Andy Rubin. In fact, the company name Essential is the actual description of their devices, Said Rubin. The PH-1 has only the features that are Essential to the users. No annoying apps, no modifications of the pure android OS, just the essentials. Even the name of the firm is not on the phone.

However, minimalism in the design doesn’t mean the spec sheet has to follow. The phone packed one of the best specs available at the time. First, it has a 5.5-inch full-screen display that renders at 1080 x 1920 pixels resolution. Inside, there is a Snapdragon 835 chipset, 4GB RAM and 128GB storage. So not just a stock Android phone, it is a powerful and “essential” stock Android phone for Android fans.

2. Google Pixel XL

Another way to get a good stock Android phone is from the giant corporation that has been developing the Android OS, Google (or Alphabet if you will). The Pixel XL features a 5.5 AMOLED screen that renders at 2K Resolution. Underneath is a Snapdragon 821 chipset, 4GB RAM and 32/128GB storage. The phone runs on Android Nougat, but it will be one of the first to receive the update to Oreo. After all, it’s a phone from the company that developed Android for years.

3. Huawei Nexus 6P

Despite the fact that this device is manufactured by Huawei, its common name is only Nexus 6P. Before the Pixels line, this used to be the Google phone. They make the software while Huawei makes the hardware. The Nexus 6P also has a 5.7-inch, 2K display. It launched two years ago, so the hardware is a bit dated with A Snapdragon 810 chip and 3 GB RAM. But that doesn’t mean the device is no longer relevant. Since the software is still under Google’s care, this phone is also getting the Oreo update.

4. Motorola Moto Z2 Force

Although not having much involvement in the development of the OS, Motorola has always been using stock Android on their phones. And it is no different with the Moto Z2 Force. The device has 5.5-inch display under QUAD HD resolution. Regarding memory, it measures 6GB RAM and 128GB storage. So it’s quite powerful and rightfully so for a flagship device.

5. Xiaomi Mi A1

This is the device has been the center of discussion for a while now. That mainly because the Xiaomi Mi A1 is the first Phone that fit the budget price of the Android One initiative and still packs a few top tier specs. For instance, 5.5 full HD screens, dual 12MP primary cameras, 4GB RAM and 64GB storage. And the best about this phone is that all those specs available just for EUR 240 (~Rs. 18,360)
