Last month, Huawei launched the mid-range Honor 5C. And now they’re back with a new high-end device called Honor V8. Huawei Honor V8 launch was on May 10th -the same date when Xiaomi Mix Max officially unveiled. The highlighted feature of the V8 is dual camera.

Huawei Honor V8 with dual camera

The Huawei Honor V8 has two variants of display depending on which model you select. While the 4GB RAM – 32GB storage model will have a 5.7-inch full-HD (1080×1920 pixels) 386ppi display, the 4GB RAM – 64 storage model will be 5.7 inches Quad HD (1440×2560 pixels), 515ppi display. Both versions have 2.5D curved glass op top. Battery life is 3,500mAh, comes along with fast charging which takes place via USB Type-C. It also features a fingerprint sensor on the rear panel.

The V8 is powered by an octa-core Kirin 950  SoC (quad-core Cortex-A72 + quad-core Cortex-A53) coupled with Mali T880 GPU. This smartphone has an expandable strorage through microSD card (up to 128GB) in a hybrid dual-SIM layout. The dual-SIM Honor V8 runs  on Android 6.0 Marshmallow system with Huawei’s EMUI 4.1. This V8 is available on 4 color variants: Platinum Gold, Rose Gold, Champagne Gold, and Glacier Silver.

The Huawei Honor V8 spec – dual camera – has some similar specs to the one on the Huawei P9. 12 megapixel on each camera rear, dual-tone LED flash, laser autofocus, BSI sensor, and  6-element lenses with f/2.2 aperture. On the front, we’ll have a 8-megapixel front facing camera with f/2.4 aperture. With the dual camera and these specs, the Honor V8 is expected to be the rival of Samsung Galaxy S7 in the camera field.

Huawei Honor V8 price and availability

Huawei Honor V8 price is different for 2 versions. It’s is about $350 for a Full HD display model, 32GB of storage. With 32GB inbuilt storage version, accompanying with additional network support, you’ll have to pay more with an addition of $ 31. And the top-end version of 64 inbuilt strorage with QHD display, the price is set at about $439. And it’s now available in China.

The Note 5 has become the latest phablet flagship in the mid of 2015. And after a few months, it’s reported that its next generation- the Note 6- is about to be presented. Not only the Note 6, but also the Note 6’s second version- the Galaxy Note 6 Lite. 

Galaxy Note 6 Lite: a scaled-down version of Note 6 

Galaxy Note 6 Lite and  Note 6 release date is supposed to be in the next couple months. And the rumor mill keeps spinning up about this new Note 6 Lite specs. This is gonna be a scaled-down variant of Galaxy Note 6, however, it won’t be as powerful. Note 6 Lite will be in the same size with Note 6 -5.8 inches, but this version will drop in resolution in 1080. Since the Note 6 will feature a USB Type-C port, we expect that its version will also have too.

The camera is expected to be retained as the others of Galaxy Note lines. It might have 16-megapixel camera on the back with wider aperture lens, and 5-megapixel front-facing camera. It’s reported to have Snapdragon 820 chipset-the current high-end Snapdragon model.  This Note 6 Lite  has the same internal memory – 4 GB RAM as S7 and S7 Edge, instead of 6 GB RAM. It’s also thought to be a 4000 mAh battery on board.

This kind of specs is a little strange. Usually, the smartphone manufacturer will widen the midrange of the specs when they present a more economical version of a phone. And the midrange between these two phone is not really much.

Galaxy Note 6 Lite Price

There’s nothing which is official yet, but Samsung fans are excited about smartphone. With those specs of the Note 6 Lite, there’ll be a reduced price, but perhaps not massively so, as this is still a pretty competitive set of hardware. So we’re expecting this Note 6 Lite price is gonna be at $650 up to $ 750.

OnePlus 3’s photo is reported to be leaked on Weibo. Those images showed the front and the back of an smartphone, and the handset looks nothing like its predecessors. This OnePlus 3 realese date is supposed to be on late second quarter of this year, by June.

OnePlus 3: 3GB – 32GB and 4GB – 64GB variants

The upcoming flagship is said to keep the same screen size- 5.5 inches and resolution  1080 as its two previous predecessor – OnePlus 1 and OnePlus 2. As we can see from those leaked images, the texture on the back which appear on OnePlus 2 is get rid of. Instead of that, OnePlus 3 will show up with a full metal back. The fingerprint saner and USB Type C might also be retained. This One 3 might has a 15-megapixel rear camera and a 8-megapixel front camera, capable of Full HD video recording.

It’s reported for the third time that there’ll be 2 variant of this smartphone. One with 3GB RAM and 32GB storage, the other with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage, both feature Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 820 chipset. It’s highly likely that OnePlus 3 will run OxygenOS 3.0 which is based on Android 6.0 Marshmallow. About the battery, we’re expecting that this new phone will be 3,500 mAh which is an uplift from OnePlus 2 with 3,300 mAh. The latest leak suggests that this phone will feature Oppo’s VOOC fast-charging technology, which means it can recharge 3500mAh battery in just 15 minutes.

The co-founder of OnePlus company didn’t give anything information about the price. However, the OnePlus 3 price is supposed to  cost around $310 in the US, According to GizmoChina. This price is surprisingly cheaper than it’s forerunner – the OnePlus 2 with the launched price at $329.  It’s also believed that its higher-end version will have the price at $385.

OnePlus 3: another flagship killer

The startup smartphone company had a very busy year of 2015 by releasing two new smartphones- OnePlus 2 and OnePlus X. And they both became the flagship killers in that year. And now, they’re about to release another one which is expected to do the same thing. Adroid fans are dying to see the next generation flagship of OnePlus this year- the OnePlus 3.

We are having many reports about the launch of iPhone 7. As the recent reports, Apple iPhone 7 has been measured at the same as the iPhone 6s. That is also the same for iPhone 7 plus! Now, let’s see what will the new Apple iPhones look like?

What will Apple iPhone 7 look like?

To recap, in 2016 March, Apple has launched the Apple iPhone SE with a 4.0-inch screen (123.8 x 58.6 x 7.6 mm), 640 x 1136 pixels resolution. Before that, in 2015 September, Apple iPhone 6s has been launched with 4.7 inches screen (138.3 x 67.1 x 7.1 mm) , 750 x 1334 p resolution. Now, as an iPhone 7’s measurement obtained by a French website, the Apple iPhone 7 has the same length and width as the iPhone 6s.

From the picture below, you can see iPhone 7 has 4.7-inch (138.30 of length and 67.12mm of width), is the same with iPhone 6. We don’t have the information about the iPhone 7 thickness. As we know, iPhone 6s thickness is 7.1mm. So, we predict that Apple iPhone 7 will have a 7.0mm thickness. With all of the features which iPhone 7 may have, we expect that iPhone 7 price is 672$ for 16GB, $824 for 64Gb and $936 GB for 128GB.

As other reports, iPhone 7 will have a 3.5mm audio jack, Smart Connector, and dual-lens camera system. Besides, Apple iPhone 7 may have a bigger and slightly bulging camera as well as a larger sensor.The Apple iPhone 7 battery could be slightly larger and better than Apple iPhone 6s.Besides, from the reliable sources, iPhone 7 plus’s design is also the same as iPhone 6s plus.

Apple iPhone 7 Plus size same as iPhone 6s plus

According to Ming-Chi Kuo – Apple Securities analyst, iPhone 7 plus will not have any big changes in its design and Apple will maintain the same 6-series form for iPhone 7 plus in this year. So, we predict that iPhone 7 plus size will remain at 4.7-inch  (138.3 x 67.1 x 7.1 mm). Maybe in 2017, we could see the Apple iPhone 8 with a larger screen and more compelling features as new OLED display, Wireless Charging, and No Home Button. Let’s wait for that!

Large internal memory can do you good. So, why don’t you have a look at the following handsets which are equipped with up to 128GB ROM and…

1. Lenovo ZUK Z2 Pro

Firstly, let’s meet Lenovo ZUK Z2 Pro – the every first 6GB RAM smartphone of Lenovo in 2016. Being a successor to Lenovo ZUK Z1 2015, the device seems much stronger than its predecessor as well as other members in the house. With such huge capacity, the phone can do almost all tasks well.

Besides, other Lenovo ZUK Z2 Pro specs are also great: a 5.2-inch Full HD AMOLED screen, a Snapdragon 820 chip, a 3,100mAh battery with Quick Charge 3.0 technology, ZUI 2.0 based on Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow OS, 4G LTE + VoLTE support, and 128GB ROM.

This innovative device works well with every type of electronics, form smartphone, tablet to computer, it works with other types of electronics. This device doesn’t even need battery to work, because all the necessary power is drawn via the headphone jack. This dongle is very low power consumption. It could detect and show the results of 41 patients on a single charge.

A recent test conducted at 3 Rwandan community clinics had shown a positive sight. In this field test, 96 patients were screened for HIV and some form of syphilis. In a 15-minute, the device provided a 96% accurate result, there is just one case of latent syphilis missing.

The trial device will have the price at $34. With this device, the researchers hope that they can reduce adverse consequences of the disease and might be able to reduce deaths by 10-fold. When HIV and other infection diseases are widely spread, this dongle is the hope.

In the near future, we will see the new model smartphone called Modular phone. Today, we’ll help you to understand what is the modular phone and when does it launch?

Modular phones – the challenges are real

As recent reports, LG company is now preparing a new modular phone. For an example, LG G5 has an expansion slot that helps you to replace its battery easily and insert a camera grip or a hi-fi DAC into the phone. For LG G5 specifically and modular phones in general, with this new feature, you can do more interesting things than browse the web or sending the email. However, the modular phone can’t be equipped the waterproof or dustproof functionality as well as a fingerprint sensor. As we know, Google is facing those problems when making the modular phone too.

In last year, Google started the “Ara project” to make the new modular smartphone. Besides, Google announced that they will launch a prototype of the modular smartphone in Puerto Rico, USA. However, the idea of making the modular smartphone is required more technologies.  Moreover, Puerto Rico has some economic and environmental problems at that time. Therefore, they officially delay the launch of its Project Ara modular smartphone until now.

But at the present, according to some reliable sources, Google are looking for other places in the United States to make their “Ara project”. They will also find the way to solve the “waterproof or dustproof ” problem when making the modular phone. We expect that Google will come back with more interesting devices in this year.

Modular phones specs – the future in your hand

The new modular smartphone will change the way we using the smartphone. Modular phones can replace completely the Mp3 players, point-and-shoot cameras, and pocket calculators. We expect the first version of the modular phone will have powerful specs: maybe it will come with 6GB of RAM, QSD 820 and FullHD screen. So, what do you think about the Modular phone? Please share with us!

IPhone 7 launch this September is expected to surprise all iPhone fans by breaking the design mould. This new product of Apple is about to bring  new fresh air to the iPhone smartphone. 

IPhone 7: no home button

This new smartphone has been said to have a whole new look with the glass design. This may be right, because LG (one of the biggest display providers to Apple) announced that they have just develop a new display technology. This new technology will allow smartphone manufacturers to place a fingerprint scanner right on the display glass.

This new display allows users to scan their finger anywhere on the glass screen, therefore the new display would be likely a form of biometric fingerprint recognition instead of physical button. A flush home button made of liquid metal is also a prediction. It would be recessed when pressed but would recover to original shape.

With LG’s new fingerprint technology in conjunction with Apple’s 3D Touch on the glass screen, the home buttons is needless. The home button has been always there in the very first day of iPhone since 2007. And users get use to pressing it to return to the home screen. Now, without the home button, it may be a little hard for users at the first time. However, they will get used to it soon.

IP7: an extraordinary smartphone 

Not only the home button, but the headphone jack also will be eliminated, according to DigiTimes and Storm (Chinese websites). This iPhone is gonna be a dustproof and waterproof  smartphone with a dual-lens camera. These iPhone new specs make it worth to wait. Since Apple has kept prices unchanged for its past two iPhone releases, the IP7 price is supposed to start at £539 going up to £699 for the 128 GB model.
