Smartphones with multiple LED flashes will produce better pictures in low light condition. Today, we give the best dual LED flash smartphones and above. Let’s have a look!

1. Apple iPhone 7 Plus

The first one on our list is iPhone 7 Plus. This year, Apple upgraded the iPhone camera to a whole new level. iPhone 7 Plus main camera is considered as a camera revolution. The US company added a dual 12MP camera with quad LED flash and OIS. This primary cam can give you 2x optical zoom and 10x digital zoom. On the front, you’ll find a 7MP snapper.

The other iPhone 7 Plus specs are also strong. The phone is powered by a 2.23Ghz quad-core A10 Fusion processor and runs on iOS 10. It has 3GB RAM paired with 32/128/256GB of non-expandable ROM. IP7 Plus comes with a 5.5-inch Full HD display and a 2900mAh battery capacity. iPhone 7 Plus price comes in three for three versions: $769 ~RM. 3161 (32GB), $869 ~RM. 3572 (128GB), and $969 ~RM. 3983 (256GB).

Apple is facing a problem that many people no longer believe that Apple brings good value for money. 20% of participants in a survey conducted by UBS said that the value Apple iPhone brings does not worth the money that the buyers must spend. 

Customers perception towards Apple Iphone

 Specifically, only 20% of participants said that the iPhone brings the value corresponding to the money that the buyer must spend. As being reported, the UBS survey was conducted on 6,500 participants from different countries: USA, UK, Japan, China and Germany. Apple Iphone was ranked lower than Samsung, LG and Nokia. Even some little known brand as Meizu or ZTE gets higher rank.

Steven Milunovich – an analyst of UBS showed his surprise on the survey results about the commensurate between Apple Iphone price and value. He added that compared to the previous survey, most of Apple’s position comes down. This shows that the competition in the mobile playground is getting more and more intense while variations of iPhone are fading. However, 48% of survey participants still stated that Apple Iphone is a high-quality products while 33% affirmed Apple products are very unique. Here are the detailed results of this survey:

Breaking news for iPhone users: From a recent report, an iPhone 6 Plus exploded while it was charging. Apple is carrying out investigation on this incident. Let’s have a look!

iPhone 6 Plus exploded – What happened?

It seems that smartphones nowadays are no longer safe for users, even when they are made by big brands. After the Samsung scandal with Galaxy Note 7 explosions, Apple could very well be next in line. From the report of ABC30, an iPhone 6 Plus exploded while it was charging. This iPhone belongs to a woman named Yvette, who is living in Fresno, California. As Yvette said, her iPhone suddenly exploded while she was sleeping. The explosion created a big noise and wake Yvette up at around 3AM.

According to Yvette, she bought the iPhone 6 Plus at an Apple retailer three months ago, with full accessories from Apple. The woman also confirmed that she charged her phone with the correct adapter. She called Apple on the next day to announce the incident. After that, Yvette received the replacement product from the local Apple store. Although the explosion didn’t hurt the woman, her Apple Watch and some furniture such as tables and glasses were damaged.

Noticeably, there was another case of iPhone 6 Plus exploding happening just recently. Earlier in September, another iPhone 6 Plus exploded suddenly in the back pocket of Hlavaty – a college student. In both incidents, the fire is reported to come from the battery.

iPhone 6 Plus exploded – The reaction from Apple

The official cause of both cases is not known yet. At the present, Apple is in the investigating process to find the main reason behind these incidents. So, we’ll see the final words from the company soon. Hopefully, Apple will not repeat the mistake of Samsung. For more information and updates about this incident, keep following our page!

Apple A10 is now one of the best chipsets in the market. Now, it seems that the company is working A10X SoC. This chipset will even come with better performance than its predecessor. 

Apple A10 successor: better and stronger A10X

Last month, Apple released their new flagship – iPhone 7 Plus. This phone with Apple A10 Fusion chipset immediately defeated OnePlus 3, as well as many SND 821 phones, to be the King on Antutu best performance phone list. With this chart, we can see that how powerful Apple A10 chipset is. Now, Apple is reported to be working on a product powered by A10X. This phone will be the first Apple 10-nanometer SoC.

Apple A10 Fusion comes with TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company) 16nm technology. Meanwhile, the chipset A10X will be smaller with 10-nm technology of TSMC. With this chipset, Apple will be able to reduce their cost in manufacturing A10X. Besides, manufacturing yields of the company will increase. It’s common that yields of big chipsets are usually less than yields of smaller SoCs.

A10X is not only economical but also very powerful. You can see how strong Apple A10 is, this new SoC is even more than that. It is said that A10X will perform better by 18% than 16-nm chipset. In addition, this chipset is power-saving. Compared to the 16nm chip, the 10nm SoC consumes less energy by 40%. Moreover, there will be more graphic cores which will make the quality of photos and videos better.

Apple A10X:

Apple A10 is already a beast. Now, its successor- A10X- is gonna be more than that. Whichever device owns this chipset will have incredible strengths. It is expected that A10X will be used in the next generation of iPad, as well as iPhone. If you want to know more about Apple chipset, as well as Apple products, just keep following our page. We’ll continue to update.

Since being launched in early September, the iPhone 7 Plus becomes a hot topic on the internet. This phone comes with stronger internal assets and many innovative features. Anyway, this newest Apple phone isn’t a perfect device. Let’s take a look at iPhone 7 Plus overview to see 4 limitations of this phone. 

iPhone 7 Plus overview : biggest limitations

First, from many user feedbacks, iPhone 7 Plus has a bulky body, which is one of the biggest limitations of this phone. As you know, iPhone 7 Plus measures at 158.2 x 77.9 x 7.3 mm. These are big sizes for a smartphone nowadays. However, despite a big body, iPhone 7 Plus has a low screen size. It comes with 67.7% screen-to-body ratio, which is lower than that of Galaxy S7 Edge (76.1%) and Google Pixel Xl (71.2%). So, iPhone 7 Plus don’t have an expert design.

Second, if you are using iPhone 7 Plus or you have a chance to hold this phone in hands, you’ll recognise a limitation of this phone. Unlike flagships from Samsung, iPhone 7 Plus is quite difficult to keep in your hand. One of the reason is from the bulky body as mentioned. Third, to be the latest iPhone generation, iPhone 7 Plus still gets a quite small battery capacity. It comes with just a 2900 mAH cell.

Fourth, the camera is also a limitation of iPhone 7 Plus. Although this phone is one of the top camera smartphones in the world, it is still not really good as many people expect. As you know, the phone comes with a dual camera on the back, including a telephoto lens and a wide-angle lens. However, the telephone lens works less often than the wide-angle lens. That’s a big loss for the iPhone 7 Plus camera because the telephone lens sports many interesting features.

iPhone 7 Plus price

However, you must accept that there are alway some limitations on a flagship smartphone. Apple iPhone 7 Plus is not an exception. In case you are going to skip these limitations and bring this phone home, here is iPhone 7 Plus price. It comes at $769 for 32GB storage version, $869 (for 128GB), and $969 (for 256GB). If you are interested in this phone, just keep following our page.

In the past few months, Samsung is having the tough times. This Korean giant has involved in many explosions, from Note 7 to washing machine. Because of those unfortunate incidents, Samsung sales is now out of top 5 in the Chinese market.

Samsung sales: out of top 5 in China

Back in 2013, Samsung is the King smartphone brand in China. This Korean company took the 17.3% market shares in the most populated country in the world. Samsung brand was always one of the top choices for many users, from mid-rangers to high-end flagships. It had been the Samsung prime time until Xiaomi took the spotlight. Xiaomi just had 5% of market shares in 2013. However, this number had increased to 12.5% in the next year. At the same time, Samsung market shares decreased by 6%. In the result of this loss, Samsung fell back at the 2nd position.

Everything was getting harder and harder for Samsung in the next couple of years. The Korean brand had to compete with Xiaomi in the budget segment, Huawei in the mid-range price group, and Apple in the high-end category. Samsung also had to challenge with other Chinese smartphones that offer strong specs at more affordable price. What will be will be! Samsung sales is now out of the top 5 biggest smartphone brands in China. The latest top 5 in the list are Huawei, Xiaomi, Vivo, Oppo, and Apple.

This September, Samsung released their long-awaited flagship- Galaxy Note 7 with all premium specs. For such a long time, it was expected to bring the company back to the top 5 phone brands in China. However, things didn’t happen as planned. Note 7 exploded – with multiple units got reported around the world. It was so widespread that Samsung had to recall their handsets in every market, except for China. To explain for this, Samsung claimed that the Note 7 batteries produced for Chinese market have been certified safe. However, even one “safe” unit got caught exploded. This totally lost Chinese people’s faith in the brand. Many even said that they would exchange Samsung devices to Apple’s or Huawei’s.

Samsung sales: continues to drop

After these incidents, Samsung sales will continue to fall in this market. The company could lose their position in one of the largest phone markets in the world. Not to mention that it might be even harder for this Korean brand to gain back the trust of Chinese users. Can Samsung turn the table and get back their position? Just wait and see!

Since Apple launched iPhone 7 series, iPhone 7 Plus dual camera has become a hot topic. It comes with many premium features that help you take better photos. However, a recent research points out that iPhone 7 Plus uses its second camera lens less often than you think. Let’s find the reasons behind it!

iPhone 7 Plus dual camera – the truth

For those who haven’t known, iPhone 7 Plus comes with two 12MP camera lens on the back. The first lens features a wide-angle, with 28mm in size and f/1.8 aperture. This lens is also supported by many camera technologies like OIS, phase detection autofocus, and quad-LED flash. It brings 10x digital zoom. Meanwhile, the second lens is called “telephoto lens”, which sports a 56mm in size, f/2.8 aperture, and 2x optical zoom. It allows the phone to capture photos from far distances. Both of them are combined to bring high-quality photos.

However, as an interesting research from Glenn Fleishman in Macworld, iPhone 7 dual camera uses its second lens (2x optical zoom) less than the first lens (10x digital zoom). That means the second lens with “2x optical zoom capibility” is often in the “rest status”. On the other hand, the first lens with “10x digital zoom” is commonly used in taking photos. One of the reasons comes from the f/1.8 aperture on the first lens.

To be more specific, the f/1.8 aperture on the first lens lets in more light than the f/2.8 aperture on the second lens. That helps the iPhone 7 produce high-quality photos even in low light conditions.  The f/1.8 lens is also assisted by OIS technology, which help avoid blurry photos.

iPhone 7 Plus dual camera – How to use the 2x optical zoom lens

As the result, the iPhone 7 Plus uses its “2x optical zoom lens” less often than the “10x degital lens”. That said, the 2x optical zoom lens is still used in some cases, when you want to take a high-quality photos from far away. To use this lens,  just click the shutter button to change from 1x to 2x, that’s all. Hopefully, you will have interesting experiences with iPhone 7 Plus dual camera!

Antutu has just shown the new update of the top phones in terms of performance According to this list, OnePlus 3 is not the King anymore. This position now goes to the latest Apple phone – iPhone 7 Plus.

Antutu list: OnePlus 3 fall behind at 6th place

Each month, there will be an Antutu list for top performance smartphones. The top phones on this list are the devices having the strongest processor based on Antutu benchmark. In September, the smartphone market welcomed many great phones like iPhone 7, Galaxy A8, or Xiaomi Mi 5s. These handsets contributed to change the orders of top Antutu phone chart where OnePlus 3 (with 140,288 points) had held the first place for more than 7 months.

The top place no longer belongs to the latest OnePlus 3 flagship. iPhone 7 Plus has taken this crown with the score of 172,644. Standing right behind 7 Plus is iPhone 7 with 170,124 scores. The first Chinese SND 821 phone – LeEco Pro 3 – gets the third position with 160,856 points. The 4th and 5th place go to Xiaomi Mi 5s and 5s Plus. Don’t be surprised! This is just because the Mi 5s siblings use the under-clocked SND 821 SoC. The ex-King OnePlus 3 falls back to the 6th place.  The other positions are Vivo XPlay 5 Elite (138,706), Note 7 (138,373), Le Max 2 (138,026), and Nubia Z11(127,685).

So, let’s have a look at iPhone 7 Plus specs again to see how strong this device is. Under the hood, the phone is powered by a 2.23Ghz quad-core A10 Fusion processor and runs on iOS 10. It packs 3GB RAM paired with 32/126/256 non-expandable inbuilt storage. About cameras, 7 Plus sports a 7MP front snapper and a dual 12MP cam on the back with f/2.8 and quad-LED flash. In addition, this latest Apple phone also has a 5.5-inch Full HD display, a 2900mAh cell, and IP67 certification (dust+water resistant).

Top phones on Antutu list: iPhone 7 Plus wins it all

After being surpassed many times by Android phones, Apple phone is finally a King of Antutu. iPhone 7 Plus with A10 chipset and 3GB RAM had defeated many Android flagships with 6GB RAM and SND 821 (Le Pro 3, Mi 5s Plus). It seems that iPhone 7 Plus will hold this throne for a long time. So, congratulations to iPhone 7 Plus, once again, for being the strongest phone on Antutu.

Samsung has drawn lots of attention these days due to the multiple cases of Galaxy Note 7 phone explosion. However, Note 7’s rival – iPhone 7 has just been reported to also blow up! Let’s take a look! 

Phone explosion: it’s iPhone 7’s turn

Recently, kroopthesnoop – a Reddit user has reported that the iPhone 7 Plus his co-worker ordered had exploded before the man even had the chance to experience the A10 chipset and the dual camera. To be more specific, when the man received the new iPhone from the delivery service, the package of the phone was partly burned and after unwrapped, the iPhone inside looked like it had exploded. Kroopthesnoop then took some photos and posted them to the internet (as we can see below).

Kroopthesnoop has shared that “Something happened between the factory and the deliver”. He also added that after the incident was reported to Apple’s customer care service, an executive from Apple’s office in Texas paid a visit to the co-worker to collect further information about the case. The Apple representative also offered a replacement after the brand have worked with AT&T.

So far, both Apple and UPS – the company that is responsible for the delivery of the iPhone, have not made any public statement about this phone explosion. In the meantime, there have been many controversy about the cause of the incident. While many people accuse Apple of this explosion, some users guess that the owner has put the iPhone package in the… microwave and then tries to blame the company.

Phone explosion: The cause is yet unknown

As mentioned above, Apple has not left any comment about this case. Compared to the similar scandal of Samsung, Apple is quite “lucky” this time because this iPhone 7 Plus was found exploded before the user was able to use the handset. The fact that the phone blew up during delivery leaves an opportunity for Apple to not be considered the sole cause of the phone explosion. Now, let’s wait for the official statement from Apple!
