Huawei Honor X3 is coming with good specifications leaked on TENAA. It totally can become one of the best devices on the shelves in 2016…

Huawei Honor X3 to own a big 4,320mAh battery and a super cool fingerprint scanner…

Back in January, it was once said that Huawei Honor X3 would debut soon. However, it did not show up until now. Specifically, Huawei Honor X3 has just been spotted on TENAA lately with an almost full design and some detailed information related to its hardware. Looking at he pictures, we can see that the Honor X3 is pretty slim and elegant in white. Its bezels are also surprisingly thin.

Spec-wise, according to TENAA, Huawei Honor X3 will sport a large 7.0-inch display with 1920×1200 pixels, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 chipset, 2 GB of RAM paired with 16 GB of internal storage. As for photography, the X3’s main camera is capable of 13 megapixels and the selfie one is 5 megapixels. They are pretty standard but still good enough to bring you great shots.

One interesting point is that Huawei Honor X3 specs also contain a fingerprint scanner placed on the machine’s border, right below the power button. This is such a new placement for the FS and we bet it’s gonna be seen more often in 2016, especially on Huawei products. Last but not least, we cannot forget the Honor X3’s huge 4,320 mAh battery to run out the specs.

Huawei Honor X3 price and availability

Though no words have been made for Huawei Honor X3 launch date and price, we guess that day is not very far from now since it has already visited TENAA. The tablet can cost around $380. Let’s wait and see! Now, tell us what you think about this model! Share with us by commenting in the following box!

This year, the smartphone trend seems to be the camera-centric one. Here are 9 best products with gorgeous cams you need to know!

1. Motorola Moto X Play

If you remember, Moto Xplay once appeared in “Top 7 smartphones with high-quality displays available for March” thanks to its 5.5-inch IPS LCD Full HD screen (403 ppi) able to bringing users excellent colors and touch performance. Now, its is here to be one of “the best camera smartphones to buy in the H1 of 2016.”

Specifically, the main snapper is capable of 21 megapixels with f/2.0, PDAF plus dual LED flash. Other Motorola Moto X Play specs contain a Snapdragon 615 processor, 2GB of RAM, 32GB of ROM (expandable up to 128GB), a 5MP selfie shooter, a 3,630mAh batt, and Android 6.0 Marshmallow OS.

At first sight, this device looks like a perfectly normal smartphone. But when we got to learn a bit more about it, the truth is rather shocking. This is a brand new doubled barreled …. gun with a harmless design of a mobile

Ideal Conceal: a weapon that looks like a smartphone

Ideal Conceal is the name of this crazy project by a start-up in Minnesota, USA.  Right now, the company is waiting for patent approval to produce a double barreled, .380 caliber pistol that is able to fold down in a shape of a smartphone. The company promotes their product as am “effective” gadget to carry in your pocket for self defense – a raising issue in the United States.  According to Ideal Conceal, their weapon ensures high level of safety, with the trigger being hidden and carefully protected.

Visually, as you can see from the picture below, this gun perfectly mimics a smartphone design, so cleverly that it even features a mock camera lens and headphone jack. And the internet has been reacting variously about this piece of news from Ideal Conceal. While many people appreciate the idea of a disguised gun to always carry with and protect them in unexpected situations, others argue that this will be a very dangerous product, as it can be abused by bad guys and people won’t know the threat is coming close.

The gun hasn’t been produced yet since the company is still waiting for patent. However, there has been 2,500 people sign up for inquiry, merely in the US. This is an alarming news we think should be spread wide, to raise people awareness of all the possible threats such an invention can bring about to human race.

Ideal Conceal: clever or dangerous invention?

It is exciting to see new innovations in the technology world. However, a controversial product like this Ideal Conceal weapon should be thoroughly examined before any further license is supplied. If the “smartphone” is launched for sale, a campaign should definitely be held to raise people’s awareness and ensure safety for the community.

As Apple iPhone SE with a 4 inch display is becoming a trend, Samsung is announcing that after the release of Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge, there will be a mini version coming up the way.

Samsung Galaxy S7 Mini – direct rival to iPhone SE

Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge were launched not long ago, and have received very positive feed backs for their awesome features. With a 12MP and f/1.7, 26mm lens, Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge camera was entitled the best among all current smartphones. But they are not going to take a rest any time soon. As iPhone SE has made smaller sized smartphones more of a trend again, Samsung is about to manufacture their own handset to join the competition.

Samsung Galaxy S7 mini specs is said to include a 46 inch display with 720p resolution. The smartphone will use the same hardware from its bigger sibling: either Snapdragon 820 or Exynos 8890 (or both), but with a slightly smaller RAM of 3GB. The whole handset measures 9.9 mm in thickness yet rumored to sport a “periscope lens” with 3x optical zoom. The camera of this phone will also has 12MP resolution on the back. There will be 2 internal memory variants: 32GB and 64GB, both expandable to another 200GB.

There is no hint about Samsung Galaxy S7 mini price yet. Nor is there reveal about its release. However, with similar powerful features and a smaller RAM, this mini version will definitely cost less than its bigger sibling. We are predicting a price tag of around USD 450 – USD 500, which is equivalent to around PHP 21,000 and RS 30,000

Samsung Galaxy S7 Mini: smaller doesn’t mean weaker

According to a report by a Korean website called The Bell, the Note 6 has been spotted under the codename “Grace” and it is likely that Samsung Galaxy Note 6 launch will take place in the middle of July.

If so, we assume Android N OS will have been ready by that time. Actually, it totally can happen since last week, Google surprised us all with the developer preview of their Android N (maybe Nutella) for select smartphones (Nexus 6, Nexus 5X, Nexus 6P, Nexus 9,Nexus Player, plus Pixel C). Besides, Google’s I/O event (where the company usually unveils their new OS) has been announced to happen between May 18 and May 20, 2016.
