1. Xiaomi Mi4i with SN615 causes heating problem.

Xiaomi Mi4i hit the market a few months ago and also drew much attention from phone consumers due to its specs, design and price. However, besides good comments, there have been complaints saying that the main processor of Mi4i, the Snapdragon 615, does not really work well. It is not as fast and cool as expected. After being informed of the problem, Xiaomi manufacturer announced the updated MIUI v6.5.50 to fix the Mi4i’s overheating issue. Nonetheless, we wonder if Xiaomi wants the Mi4i to be known worldwide, will they change their strategy? Say, by switching to another SoC for the device?

2. A new phone called Xiaomi Libra appeared on Geekbench Benchmark.

We notice that recently there has been a Xiaomi smartphone spotted on the Geekbench benchmark website. It is named Xiaomi Libra, sporting the premium Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 chipset and 2GB RAM. In fact, Xiaomi Libra was not listed on the Xiaomi roadmap 2015. As a result, we do not think that it will be a brand new product from Xiaomi.

On the other hand, the SN808 is slightly slower than the Snapdragon 810 chip, so we do not think that Xiaomi will use SN808 for their famous upcoming flagship Xiaomi Mi5. If not, are they just simply going to introduce a new phone called Xiaomi Libra for the local market? Not very long after the Mi4i launch and before the Mi5’s big day?

3. The limited availability of Xiaomi Mi4i on international markets.

As far as we know, even though Mi4i has been going on sale for months in its home country, it has been not very popular on other markets outside China. To explain this situation, the leading Chinese Industry Analyst – Pan Jiutang claimed that Xiaomi has been working on something more powerful than the original Xiaomi Mi4i, something that would probably be powered by the premium Snapdragon 808 chip. Anyhow, we are not sure how they will call it for now.

4. A possible conclusion to make is that…

…the plan of changing the chip is possibly for the international availability of Xiaomi Mi4i. And that could be a wise choice since Xiaomi Mi4i has been known to be a good smartphone with a better than average build and display. If they can solve the problem caused by the processor, Mi4i would become even worthier. Xiaomi Mi4i with SN808 for international markets does not sound bad at all!

It was announced by Forrester Research that tablet sales will continue to fall further this year. According to the source, the reason for this is the release of many cool and mid-price phablets – smart phones that have more than 5-inch display.

The research shows that more than 41% users in the world own a phablet and 11% people answered that their tablet is also their phablet. This counts as one reason why the sales drop. Even Apple products – iPad Air – have the same problem of dropped sales.

A lot of Android tablets being introduced is also one reason why tablet sales have dropped. Back in 2010, when the big companies unveiled their tablets, fans were overwhelmed with excitement. The sales were good back then and for some companies, tablets were a hot, trending thing to invest on.

However, as of nowadays, Android tablets are all over the market, some with just $50 (RM190) in price. Availability gets stronger, making this kind of device less “in style” than it was.

Moreover, as the companies increasingly provide cool smart phones with bigger display, tablets seem to be out of place. Since the release of Samsung Galaxy Note 4, Samsung’s tablet sales have reduced by 5%. Apple iPhone 6 or other phablets also contributed to this trend of dropping tablet sales.

By the way, there may be still hope for the tablet market. As tablets are more and more important for business, employees start to use it more for work at least once a week. Comparing to PC and laptops, tablets are much easier to use and travel with. It also seems that 29% of the companies are willing to provide tablets for their employees. Moreover, tablets are more enduring than smart phones, and that is why using tablets will become a sustainable activity in the work place.

Smartphone Processors – How do they really work?

Processors known as the “brain” of your device. Therefore, it plays an important role to handle and instruct your software apps.

All phones have their specific kinds of processor. It can be integrated into the main cell phone chip, or be in a separate computer chip. Better or faster processor supports the apps to run faster. The speed of raw processor is measured in MHz or GHz ( GHz = 1,000MHz).

By the way, there are some processor are more powerful than  the others. Thus, although there are two processors both are 1GHz, the more powerful one will run the software apps better.

5 Best Performing Processors

No matter how hind-end specs of your phone, the device would become meaningless if the smartphone processor cannot be able to handle. That is the reason why phone’s CPU is really essential. Knowing this special point, we would like to introduce to technology users the 5 best ranked processors in the recent time. The below list are scored by benchmark AnTuTu’s tests.

5. Qualcomm Snapdragon 805

Standing at the fifth stage, Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 offers features as :

•   2.7GHz quad-core CPU
•   Used by Samsung Galaxy Note 4
•   Benchmark score on AnTuTu – 50,158

4. Qualcomm Snapdragon 810

Coming next is Qualcomm Snapdragon 810  with :

•   64-bit octa-core processor (2.0GHz Cortex-A57 quad-core/1.5GHz Cortex-A53 quad-core)
•   Used by Xiaomi Mi Note Pro
•   Benchmark score on AnTuTu – 53,518

3. Samsung Exynos 7420

The third rank comes with Samsung Exynos 7420. Recently, Samsung Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge are powered by this processor

• 64-bit octa-core processor
• Used by Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge
• Benchmark scores on AnTuTu – 69,856/68,079 (S6/S6 Edge)

2. MediaTek MT6797 Helio X20

Appear second powerful one is MediaTek MT6797 Helio X20, which is an upcoming to CPU for smartphone.

• 64-bit octa-core processor
•  Upcoming CPU for smartphones
•  First mobile chip to provide a teraflop of processing power
•  Benchmark score on AnTuTu – 74,977

Basing on those information, it is promising that the two overpowering processors Tegra X1 and MediaTek’s Helio x20 are on the ways to come. They are truly worth to wait for, which is hopeful to bring out the super high-specs devices.

Up to the present time, it can be assumed that the two device Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge have to most enormous CPU Samsung Exynos 7420, which relies on AnTuTu’s listing.

After above information, we hoping that technology lovers will have the deeper insight about our tech devices and have the rational choice comparisons.

We have been hearing a lot about the next Google Nexus generation that is going to be produced by Huawei and LG company. Though there has been not much official information announced, we are glad to spot a leaked benchmark scores related to the new Nexus that can give us some hints about the Google’s new flagship.

The mentioned scores comes from AnTuTu Benchmark 5 on the LG handset and literally surprises us: 85,530 points.

Google Nexus 5 2015 AnTuTu scores beat Meizu and Samsung flagships!

Specifically, the AnTuTu scores of Google Nexus 5 2015 is 20,000 points higher than Samsung Galaxy Note 4 with Exynos 7420 chip and Meizu MX4 with MediaTek MT6595 chip. This could mean that LG will be using Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 for the LG Nexus 2015.

Besides, one minor thing we know about the new Nexus is that the one made by LG will probably be called Google Nexus 5 2015 in order to make it differ from the previous Google Nexus 5. On the other hand, we also anticipate that the machine will sport a 5-inch screen and run on Android OS. Hopefully that would be the new one: Google Android M, perhaps.

Also, AnTuTu Benchmark has reckoned that the Google Nexus 5 (2015) will have a Full HD display, kind of opposite the current news saying that Nexus will boast a resolution of 1440 x 2560 pixels. Anyhow, none of the info pieces has been claimed by either Google or LG.

To conclude, we are excited and curious at the same time when knowing that Google Nexus 5 2015 got such high scores on AnTuTu Benchmark. That is a great signal for the coming of a powerful flagship. We will pay close attention to this beast and inform you of the news as soon as possible. Stay tuned!

Another new smartphone leak of the day: Motorola Moto G 2015.

It seems like Motorola is going to introduce a new machine in the near future called Motorola Moto G (version 2015). It will come with a 5-inch HD display, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 SoC, 1GB RAM, and a combo of 13MP primary and 5MP secondary camera.

Other Motorola Moto G 2015 specs are not clearly mentioned. However, we hope that when released, the new Motorola handset will feature a better screen and RAM, like a Full HD one and 2GB RAM.

Besides, some Motorola Moto G renders also have been leaked on the internet, showing a stylish machine with a more curvy design. Looking at the picture, we can see that there would be a strip linking the main snapper and the Motorola logo on the back. That reminds us of a Lumia device.

To recap, Motorola Moto G 2015 has been spotted with some suggested features such as 5″ HD screen, SN410 and 1GB RAM along with beautiful renders. We predict that Motorola company will announce some official info in the next weeks with an affordable price tag for Motorola Moto G 2015 price.

The M2 table will be sold on July 16, but it will need a registration.

At the present time, the more innovative of technology, the more feature specs of smartphone are created. Thus, many smartphone users may have many questions around such specs. The screen resolution is one of those queries. There are many uncertainties around HD, full HD and Quad HD screen display.

HD

HD stands for high definition. It simply means a measurement of pixel of 1,280 x 720 pixel. Regardless of the screen size, if the pixel stays at this measurement, it’s a HD display. So, it can be assumed that the smaller the screen, the higher pixel density, and it will have better picture.

For instace, 4.3-inch screen will come with 342ppi pixel density, 4.7-inch will drop to 312ppi. However, it is not a matter because according to Apple when it launched iPhone 4, 300ppi is human “sweet spot” in a certain distance.

FULL HD

This one is the higher step of smartphone standard display. The definition of Full HD is 1,920 x 1,280 pixels. With the smartphone around 5-inch, the pixels will be 441 ppi. Once again, pixels will be adjusted basing on the screen size. The pixel will spread out more on a larger screen. Similarly, it will squish on smaller screen.

QHD / Quad HD or 2K

QHD is the abbriviation of Quad HD. Its measurement is 2,560 x 1,440 pixels. That is the reason why it called 2K, which measured over 2,000 pixels. Those resolution often defined by its mesuarement. Therefore, in the same way,  HD will come sometimes called 720p, and  Full HD called 1,080p. Then, a 5.5- inch QHD display has a pixel density of 538ppi.

For instance, 5.5 inch LG phablet form is G3 with resolution 1440 x 2560px hit the same pixel density of 534ppi.

Comparision between LG G3 (QHD) and G2 & HTC One M8 (Full HD)

Here are the pixel densities of some popular phones since then:

• Apple iPhone 4-5s: 326ppi
• Samsung Galaxy S3 (4.8-inch, 720p): 306ppi
• Samsung Galaxy S4 (5-inch, 1080p): 441ppi
• Samsung Galaxy Note III (5.7-inch, 1080p): 386ppi

Viewing distance

However, the viewing distance also affect the sight seeing of display sharpness and clarity. Here are some ideal distance appropriate with the devices.

• Typical 480p phone (4” display like Galaxy S III Mini): eye starts to notice pixelization from 37.4cm
• Typical 720p phone (4.7” display like Nexus 4): eye starts to notice pixelization from 28cm
• Typical 1080p phone (5” display like Galaxy S5): eye starts to notice pixelization from 19.8cm
• Typical 1440p phone (5.5” display like expected LG G3): eye starts to notice pixelization from 16.4cm

Battery and Screen Resolutions

More pixels are put in a display will make the processore work harder. Therefore, battery impact is one of the concerns. Basing on our purpose of needs, we can wisely choose between crystal clear screens, or the long run battery life. It’s up to your personal preference!

Not so long ago, Huawei released their flagship Huawei Honor 7. However, recently, there have been up to three new Huawei devices spotted on Chinese National Radio Certification website. Is Huawei planning to introduce new phones when the Honor 7 has just hit the market?

THREE Huawei new phones appeared on Chinese Certification Website

According to the listing, we got their model numbers: ATH-AL00, RIO-AL00 and CRR-AL00. The first one ATH-AL00 is mentioned as another member of Honor family. Therefore, we guess that it could be Huawei Honor 7 Plus with bigger screen or upgraded specs. Besides, the phone is likely to own a CNC body. Another model – CRR-AL00 – will come with dual SIM dual standby and support GSM / CDMA2000 / TD-LTE / FDD-LTE network. Apart from the above info, we also notice that the upcoming machines will sport Kirin 930 series chip instead of the new Kirin 950 chip.

Anyhow, there is not enough information for us to be sure about those three phones from Huawei. Yet, they have appeared on the internet, which means there would be more details related to them released in the near future. Stay tuned! We keep updating on the upcoming Huawei smartphones.
