Samsung Galaxy S20 Will be company’s Next Flagship smartphone, Forget Samsung Galaxy S11

This year’s Samsung Galaxy S10 debuted with a more affordable variant carrying an ‘e’ moniker, but if a recent report to be believed, Samsung is dropping the ‘e’ with its upcoming S-series flagship. The report claims that Samsung is making a jump from Samsung S10 to Galaxy S20 in its naming scheme. So the flagship we’ve been waiting for isn’t dubbed Samsung Galaxy S11, but Samsung Galaxy S20 (perhaps in relevance to the year it’s being released in).

It’s more than just a leap in numbers because Samsung might be planning on ditching the entire naming scheme. Instead of a Galaxy S20e, we get a standard Galaxy S20, a more premium Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus, and Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra – the high-end member of the trio.
A case manufacturer, Shcnailcase, leaked these branding details, alongside expected screen sizes. A less comprehensive tweet by the popular leakster, @UniverseIce, also confirms the upcoming flagship to be Samsung Galaxy S20.

But why this dramatic change? While there is no clear answer, it might lie in S20’s 5G connectivity. The Galaxy S10 lineup had four different variants (five if you count the yet-to-launched Galaxy S10 Lite), with the most premium model being the Galaxy S10 5G. But since the Galaxy S11/Galaxy S20 will only arrive with three variants, all 5G-enabled, Samsung doesn’t need to include a fourth 5G-ready S20 5G. Apple did something similar this year with its iPhone branding. It ditched the iPhone XR in favor of the iPhone 11 – a budget offering. And named the remaining two models, iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone Pro Max – the true flagships.
The Galaxy S20 will be the new standard S-flagship, with a 6.2-inch display and downgraded specs – meant to be an entry-level stand-in. Then we have Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus, which will sport a 6.7-inch display, making it the mid-tier variant. And finally, the top-tier option with its big 6.9-inch screen would be the S20 Ultra with a hefty Samsung price tag. 

Realme announced an amazing price discount on realme C2 3GB/64GB variant

Realme's upward trajectory in Pakistan has been phenomenal since the brand's entry last year, realme has been aggressive in its approach, launching a successful budget to mid-range smartphones with an attractive spec sheet and affordable pricing. realme has made a name for itself by selling smartphones with powerful hardware at prices aggressive enough to go up against its competitors.
Last month company brought an upgrade to the Realme C2 with new 3GB RAM + 64GB ROM variant in three beautiful colours diamond black, blue & Sapphire at Rs. 21,999 which soon became “Pakistan ki real choice” the device is breaking the sales in entry-level smartphone market with massive response to the new entrant this device will be now available at Rs. 19,999.

Taking a leap on entry-level smartphone series Realme launched a new storage variant of the Realme C2, which comes with 64GB of inbuilt storage paired with 3GB of RAM. The Realme C2 is also available in two other memory configurations – 3GB+32GB, 2GB+32GB in diamond black and blue colors.
The Realme C2 is well designed and has a diamond-cut pattern on the back that makes it look premium. The phone is compact and feels comfortable to hold in the hand. It has a dual-camera setup at the back which consists of a 13-megapixel primary camera and a 2-megapixel depth sensor. Powering the smartphone is a MediaTek Helio P22 SoC. realme is packed in a 4000mAh battery which delivers a very good battery life. The supplied 10W charger is also quick enough to top the battery up.


The company recently launched the Realme 5 series and the flagship realme XT and it did manage to shake the industry up. Owing to the enormous response to the Quad Camera best-selling Realme 5 realme Pakistan might launch its successor before the end of this year. The device was launched in a brand new color and an all-new upgraded camera in the Indian market just last month.
Pakistani youth’s favored smartphone brand realme has quickly snatched market share from existing players and is fast becoming one of the most sought after brands. Since its entry into the Pakistani market less than 11 months ago, realme powered by Oppo has already launched 8 products across different price segments from premium flagships to trendy mid-rangers, all designed particularly for the youth. They are also gearing up for the launch of their latest additions in the classic realme series in the coming months. realme is proving it has planned an even steeper growth trajectory than its parent company through a targeted focus on the youth. 

Oppo F15 Coming Soon; Company's Next Selfie Expert Teased in an Official Promotional Video

Touting the tagline “Selfie Expert,” the next iteration to Oppo’s F-series has just been officially teased. Oppo has published a promo video featuring the upcoming Oppo F15, which will be succeeding this year’s Oppo F11. The promo doesn’t give away much, but we do get a peek at the design. Speculation suggests that this selfie-oriented offering is scheduled for release in January 2020, but we’ve got a few details ahead of the release.
The phone carries over the notch from its predecessor but features a quad-camera setup on the back – a notable upgrade from the twin-camera design on Oppo F11.  Now the details regarding the release itself are scarce, but from the looks of it, Oppo F15 appears to be a rebranded Oppo A91 – the one which was launched in China last week.
If Oppo F15 borrows more than just the design language from Oppo A91, we’re looking at a 6.4-inch AMOLED display that produces an FHD+ resolution and a screen-to-body ratio of 90.7%.

The screen also embeds an in-display fingerprint reader. The selling point for the F-series have always been its camera-minded specs, and F15 might rock a 16-megapixel selfie shooter. The quad-camera should feature a 48-megapixel primary lens, rounded off by an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle sensor and a pair of 2-megapixel macro and portrait modules.

MediaTek chipsets drive the entire Oppo F-series, and the F15 shouldn’t be an exception. With a MediaTek Helio P70 SoC, 8 GB of RAM, and 128 GB of onboard storage, the internals are looking reasonably robust. They draw power from a 4,000 mAh battery with support for VOOC 3.0 fast-charging. Oppo claims that it can charge your device up to half its capacity in only 30 minutes.
Once the phone shows up on TENNA’s listings, we’ll have more details for you. But if Oppo F15 is indeed a rebranded A91, we already have the spec sheet we’ll need. The sources report that the phone with a starting OPPO price of $280 or 43,000 in Pakistani rupees, will be making a debut in India first before its expected arrival in Pakistan.

Realme 5i is all set to launch on January 6, Specifications and Design Revealed

Earlier last week, Realme 5i was signed off by Singapore’s IMDA, and following this certification listing, the phone has now made its way to an online Vietnamese store by the name of FPTShop. Official posts on Realme’s Facebook page also reveal that the Realme 5i is going official on January 6th, 2020.

As WhatMobile noted in a previous post, Realme 5i appears to be the next iteration of the Realme 5 lineup (not that of Realme 3i). The Realme 5i borrows most of its design language from Realme 5, including its notched design and heavy chin.
But the similarities don’t end there. Save for the ‘fractal’ gradient look on the back, the rear shells of both phones look identical. The panel encases a vertical quad-camera setup, flanked by a circular fingerprint scanner.

These parallels aren’t coincidental because Realme 5i seems to be a rebranded Realme 5, aimed at markets in Vietnam and Singapore. If that is indeed the case, this fourth addition to the Realme 5 family will feature a 6.5-inch display, likely to produce an HD+ resolution. It’ll be offered in two new hues: green and blue, albeit without the fractal or crystal-like look on the back.

The camera package seems to fall into the lower mid-range bracket. You’re looking at a 12-megapixel primary shooter nestled inside the camera bump, alongside an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle sensor, and a pair of 2-megapixel tertiary modules. For taking selfies, you get an underwhelming 8-megapixel camera housed inside the waterdrop notch. As you can probably tell, Realme mobile has made a few cutbacks on the optics, which should make Realme 5i more pocket-friendly than its other siblings.
 It is tipped to be driven by a modest Snapdragon 665 chip, with 64 GB of storage and 4 GB of RAM. The internals are powered by a 5,000 mAh battery with no fast-charging support, which means it’ll take a while to charge your Realme 5i. Starting at 4290000 Vietnamese dong or 28,700 Pakistani rupees, the handset would only be available in some selected markets.

Specs for Xiaomi Redmi 9 Leaked while Redmi 8 Got a Price Cut in Pakistan

Reportedly, Xiaomi is working on the successor to its popular budget line-up – the Redmi 8 series, and it might be unveiled in the first quarter of 2020. The next generation of the Redmi series, dubbed Redmi 9, is being rumored to run on a yet-to-be-introduced MediaTek Helio G70 chip. 91Mobiles also notes a few other key features, in addition to the SoC details. The publication reports that the Redmi 9 series will make an appearance in China first, followed by a launch in Indian markets.

Redmi 9

From the looks of it, Xiaomi intends to carry over the design language from Redmi 9’s predecessor. That means you get the same notched design, alongside its twin-camera setup and the rear-mounted capacitive fingerprint reader. It may come as a surprise to enthusiasts who believe that 2020 will sound the death knell for the ‘notch’. But love-it-or-hate-it, it seems that the notch is here to stay. 
The design aside, 91Mobile reveals that the Redmi 9 will feature a bigger 6.6-inch HD+ display and of course, a more powerful Helio G70 chipset. Other iterative upgrades include a 4 GB RAM (as opposed to the 3 GB of memory on the standard Redmi 8), paired with the same 64 GB of onboard storage. We expect it to be powered by an Android-10-based MIUI 11.

Redmi 8

In related news, released back in October this year, the Redmi 8 is getting a price slash. The 4 GB + 64 GB variant, that was initially retailing for 24,000 PKR, will now be available for 22,000 PKR, which makes for a 2,000 PKR discount.

The vanilla variant of Redmi 8 runs on a modest Snapdragon 439 chipset, that draws power from a 5,000 mAh cell. You also get support for 18W fast charging – not something typical of entry-level devices, we might add. The twin-camera system features a 12-megapixel primary shooter and a 2-megapixel depth sensor.
The hardware is supported by an Android-P-based MIUI 9. The build is splash-resistant, and you can pick from Onyx Black, Ruby Red, and Sapphire Blue options. 

Nokia 3.1 Plus gets Official, entry level smartphone with dual camera

Lots of features for less money: HMD Global unveiled its latest smartphone, the Nokia 3.1 Plus. For an entry-level smartphone, the device has a solid hardware. However, the new model does not have a notch like 5.1 Plus or 6.1 Plus.
The Nokia 3.1 Plus has a 6.0 inches display carrying an HD Plus resolution (1440 x 720 pixels). In addition, the screen offers the modern aspect ratio of 18:9. HMD Global ditched the notch this time, found at the top of the screen in Nokia 5.1 Plus and the Nokia 6.1 Plus.

Entry-level device with bokeh effect
On the back of the Nokia 3.1 Plus is a dual camera setup consisting of 13MP and 5 MP sensors. The dual camera setup makes the bokeh effect possible by blurring the background in portraits to better highlight a subject. On the front, you'll find an 8-MP camera with wide-angle lens.
MediaTek Heilio P22 chipset is in the driving seat with 2 or 3 GB of RAM, depending on the phone version. There is a choice of 16 GB and 32 GB of internal memory that users can further expand via a microSD card. The operating system is Android Oreo (Android One) - the unmodified Android operating system.
The battery has the capacity of 3500 mAh and should allow a running time of just under two days. The Nokia 3.1 Plus has an aluminum body available in blue, white or gray colors. So far, the market launch is confirmed for India only, where the smartphone was launched for 11,499 Indian Rupees which roughly translates to about 20,500 Pakistani Rupees.

Futuristic Design

 
As an expression of the HUAWEI Mate Series DNA, all devices carry a FullView display with a high screen-to-body ratio. Compactly engineered, every device from the 6.39-inch HUAWEI Mate 20 Pro to the 7.2-inch HUAWEI Mate 20 X can be comfortably used with a single hand.
  
 
The grace of natural elements is captured on the design of the HUAWEI Mate 20 Series. In particular the HUAWEI Mate 20 Pro’s chassis is curved on all eight sides—a marvel to behold, and a pleasure to hold in the hand. For the PORSCHE DESIGN HUAWEI Mate 20 RS, Huawei and Porsche Design ingeniously combined race track elements with premium materials to create a device that exudes elegance and offers a firm, ergonomic grip.
  
 
The Matrix Camera array on the back of the HUAWEI Mate 20 Series features a four-point design with the three cameras and sensor encircled in a polished metal frame, producing an avant-garde look that is both bold and distinct. The flagship series comes in a new Emerald Green colorway, which is as brilliant as its namesake gemstone. The Hyper Optical Pattern on the glass back uses a complex hairline pattern to produce an iridescent effect that is not only highly durable, but also makes the device easy to grip and fingerprint resistant. The devices retain a clean look even when they have been used extensively.

Xiaomi Mi MIX 3, First smartphone to feature the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 855

Xiaomi Mi MIX 3 will be launching Globally on 25th of October while a pictured got leaked today on a Chinese website listing the key specs of awaited Mi Mix 3. the specs mentioned in the leak shows it to be the first smartphone to be equipped with the latest Snapdragon 855 processor from Qualcomm, that's really a big deal if true.
Click Here to See The Complete Specs & Expected Price of Xiaomi Mi Mix 3
Qualcomm was expected to launch the Snapdragon 855 7nm in December and according to some leaks, the chipset will be called the Snapdragon 8150. In recent years, Xiaomi and Qualcomm have been working together, which is pretty good. And before that, the US-based semiconductor company have also allowed Xiaomi to launch the Mi MIX 2S as the very first smartphone to run the Snapdragon 845. However, we still have to wait for an official confirmation if Mi MIX 3 actually comes with Snapdragon 855 or the 845.

If the leaks are true, the Mi MIX 3 will be the first smartphone in the world to be powered by the latest Snapdragon 855 processor, based on Qualcomm's 7nm process.
Next to Snapdragon 855, the new leak also reveals Mi MIX 3 to be equipped with an 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. If we talk about the camera, the phone will have dual 20MP + 16MP sensors on the back. These could be new camera sensors, allowing the Mi MIX 3 to record slow-motion video at super-slow speeds of 960 fps.
The image shared above lists the Mi MIX 3 to be having a 6.4-inch screen and, according to another recent leak, the screen is expected to have Full HD + resolution of 2340 x 1080 pixels. carrying a battery capacity of 3850mAh Xiaomi has officially confirmed that the phone will be equipped with a faster wireless charging technology, maybe a 10W or higher as its predecessor the Mi Mix 2s only supported 7.5W wireless charging.

Honor Magic 2's First Official Teaser

While Honor Magic 2's launch is just around the corner. The manufacturer has released the first official video teaser of the handset showing off its gradient colored back. The video footage of merely few second displays the Honor Magic 2 from each side.
Magic 2 was announced by Honor during IFA 2018. The global launch ceremony will take place exactly on October 31st. Honor Magic 2's display covers almost the entire front panel, to the extent that there was no space left to place the front cam. So the front cams were placed in a mechanical popup slide. The Teaser also reveals the fingerprint reader to be missing on the back which further confirms it to be having an in-display Fingerprint reader. See it yourself in the video below.

Honor Magic 2 still holds many untold mysteries

While the complete specifications of Honor Magic 2 are still unknown. The device will more likely to get a HiSilicon Kirin 980 processor also found in Mate 20 Pro. We can probably expect up to an 8 GB of RAM. In addition, we also know that it'll be supporting a 40W charging allowing you to charge up to  70% in just 30 minutes. As we are getting close to the premiere, the technical data will keep on leaking so we'll try to keep you in the loop.

This would be the Samsung Galaxy S10, according to the latest leaks

Samsung is working on three versions of its next-generation Galaxy S Series. The new Galaxy S10, according to the leaks, would have Super AMOLED screens that cover the entire front and have no "notch", but rather a hole on top for an under screen front camera.
Samsung Galaxy S10 Specs
New leaks seem to confirm that both the Samsung S10 and the Galaxy S10 Plus will have the fingerprint reader integrated under the screen. Although it is not clear whether these will have a headphone jack or not, as we haven't yet heard anything officially on it. The company also preferring to make increasingly thinner phones now which is also quite evident from the new designs. And finally, Samsung has also included a triple main camera system on the back.

But undoubtedly the most interesting of these leaks is an end to end all-screen AMOLED panel that occupies almost the entire front of the phone, without bezels or even a "notch" that is being adopted by so many other companies, including Apple, OnePlus, Google and many others. Small holes to hide the front camera behind the panel is definitely a better decision and the designer Ben Geskin has just recently shared what the Galaxy S10 would look like, based on these leaks.
It is speculated that the company will also present its first folding smartphone next to the S10, but we will have to wait until the beginning of 2019 to know for sure.

Samsung's Top Secret Smartphone is in development with 5G support and six cameras

Based on the Wall Street Journal report, Samsung plans to launch at least four versions of the Samsung Galaxy S10 and surprisingly the more advanced version is expected to be equipped with up to 6 unique cameras, including a dual selfie camera and four camera lenses on the back. In addition, this device is known as "Beyond X" and is expected to launch in the US in the first quarter of 2019.

It would not only be a 5g version but will also offer the wireless reverse charging just like the Huawei Mate 20 pro. The Korean giant seems "obsessed" about going after Huawei, after the launch of Mate 20 pro as the phone not only packs an exceptional triple camera setup but many other innovative features such as wireless reverse charging and 3D facial recognition.
The display comes in the same Infinity-O design with a hole on the left, as seen on other Galaxy S10 variants. but as Samsung is celebrating the 10th anniversary of Galaxy S lineup, the new handset will come equipped with many latest and top-tier technologies.

The new 5G variant will also come with a larger 6.7-inch display compare to the display of other three Galaxy S10 variants ranging from 5.8 inches to 6.4 inches. The latest handset would not only be equipped with the most advanced technology but it will be the most expensive smartphone Samsung has ever produced.
In May 2018, Samsung acknowledged the fact that Galaxy S9 / Galaxy S9 Plus sales were not going very good, so with the upcoming product line, the Galaxy S10 is now perceived as "the new beginning" for Samsung. A desperate move to win back the customers and regain the lost market share from its competitors.

New Samsung Galaxy A8s surfaces with Infinity-O display

Some new images of the bezel-less Samsung Galaxy A8s have just surfaced on the Web, equipped with an Infinity-O display with a cutout on the upper-left corner for the front selfie camera.
The new bezel-less design allows the flat screen panel to occupy more than 90% of the front panel. Also, it's quite obvious that the display panel is made using the HIAA technology, which is also used in the Samsung S10 series.




A triple main camera is visible on the back of the device, along with a fingerprint scanner which actually means that we'll not find an in-display fingerprint sensor in A8s. The back cover is rumored to be made of tempered glass with an oleophobic coating to prevent the fingerprint marks & smudges. Presumably, the device will be equipped with an Octa-Core Snapdragon 710 chipset, 6 GB of RAM and up to 128 GB of flash memory.

Samsung has not had its best year in the mobile section, but now it seems the South Koreans will try their best to bounce back with numerous gadgets under their sleeves for next year. It is going to be a make or break year for Samsung, not only with the launch of folding smartphones and the Galaxy S10 series but we'll also get to see some top-notch mid-rangers like the Samsung Galaxy A8s with an incredible look. The announcement of new smartphone Samsung Galaxy A8 is expected in early 2019 even before the launch of the S10 Series.

Vivo Y95 - The Perfect AI Selfie Camera Phone You've Been Looking For

Taking the best selfie is all about the right angle and great lighting, however, sometimes you don’t find the perfect conditions. In such scenarios, your smartphone’s camera and its AI capabilities matter a lot.
Modern-day flagship smartphones are equipped with some brilliant camera sensors and image processing algorithms that can turn an ordinary photo into something extraordinary. However, usually budget phones don’t have these add-ons and even the camera sensors are pretty much basic.

Vivo aims to change this by introducing the Y95, a budget-friendly smartphone packed with some high-tier specifications. The latest Snapdragon 439 octa-core processor, coupled with 4GB of RAM and 64GB inbuilt storage and powered by a 4030mAh battery does make it a decent performer, nonetheless, it’s the 20MP Selfie Camera coupled with AI capabilities that set it apart from the competition.
Y95 packs a 13+2MP dual-camera setup on the back, but the 20MP Selfie snapper on the front steals the limelight.

The selfie camera sensor comes equipped with a large f/2.0 aperture, it makes sure that picture will have a fuzzier background and a sharper foreground which is usually what people want in a good selfie.
The large aperture also ensures that the sensor gets more light and selfies taken during the night comes out bright as well. To further help there’s the compensating brightness screen that lights up the face to make it clearer.
After the picture is taken, the hardware job is done and the AI algorithm starts its magic with Face Beauty. It detects your age, gender, skin tone, skin texture, and lighting environment to automatically deliver facial enhancements, without you having to lift a finger.

It can also intelligently identify different scenes before automatically optimizing them to deliver rich colors and contrasts.
The updated HDR technology solves the problems of shooting in backlight. It uses an AI algorithm to capture multiple frames, correcting uneven exposures, and combining them to create perfectly exposed photos.

Fun Selfies with AR Stickers:

Snapchat is definitely the OG of stickers and now pretty much all messaging apps have their own set stickers. But you’ll need to have internet access to use these features and must install an “app” before doing so.

The Vivo Y95 comes with its own range of fun, unique stickers; enhanced with AR technology, enabling you to easily customize an array of fantastic selfies without installing any apps or using the precious data. The possibilities are really endless and stickers get updated regularly, so you'll always have a variety.

Is it the Selfie Camera Phone You’ve Been Looking For?

For the price of Rs. 34,999/- the Vivo Y95 does offer the bang for the buck. Not only it offers decent hardware performance but the 20MP AI Selfie camera makes sure that you’ll look your best in all the selfies or groupies.

It is worth noting that Vivo has priced this phone almost Rs. 5,000 less than its competitors, indicating that the company is very much serious about consumer feedback and want to get more customers on-board rather than going for short-term profit.
We will be doing a complete review of this phone real soon, testing out the performance of the processor and its gigantic 4030mAh battery, so don’t forget to check back.

Though it's obvious that the handset will support a microSD but nothing was listed about a card slot.

It seems like a decent configuration, The processor is the same that's already used in Galaxy A6 and Galaxy J6. No other features were listed on Geekbench, but it is expected with somewhat different specs than those of the above-mentioned handsets. a single rear camera, 6-inch screen with HD resolution and a similar design to the Samsung Galaxy A7.

Samsung Galaxy A8s with World's first in-Display Camera hole is Launching on 10th December

The fight to launch the first smartphone with a display hole is on its full swing! After Huawei's announcement to launch the new Nova 4 with an in-Display selfie camera hole on December the 17th, now Samsung says it'll launch its Galaxy A8s with Infinity O display even sooner, on 10th December.
Samsung has posted an image on the Chinese social media website called Weibo that not only confirms the Infinity-O screen for Galaxy A8s but also mentions the launch date of A8s as the next Monday, December the 10th.

The South Koreans may seem like winning here by taking the World's first title under their belt but the things can go in any direction as we have yet to see a response from Huawei.
The displays for both the smartphones are made by the world's leading display maker in China called BOE. We don't yet know much about the Huawei's Nova 4 apart from some rumored key specs but Samsung A8s's specs are circulating the web for quite a while now.
Presumably, Samsung Galaxy A8s device will be equipped with an Octa-Core Snapdragon 710 chipset, 6 GB of RAM and up to 128 GB of flash memory. The Display size is enormous with 6.3 inches, supporting a FHD+ resolution of  2340 x 1080 pixels and there's also a triple camera setup on the back.

Samsung Galaxy M20's specs leaked along with display glass revealing a water-drop notch

Samsung jumps on the notch bandwagon with the new M series. A picture of Samsung Galaxy M20's display glass just got leaked revealing a water-drop notch. The design of the M20 seems pretty similar to the Oppo F9 or Huawei Mate 20 in the image showing a notch that we are quite familiar with.
With the launch of the Galaxy M Series, Samsung wants to regain the lost market share in the mid-range low-cost segment in Asia. Galaxy M20 is the second phone of the series that got leaked with some spectacular specs that are not usually seen in an entry-level smartphone. The handset will come equipped with a 5.6-inch Super AMOLED display carrying full HD resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. A worthwhile upgrade to the entry-level Galaxy phones previously using the cheap old LCD screens.

Samsung Galaxy M20's specs are quite stunning indeed. The benchmarks leaked earlier revealed Samsung M20 to be equipped with an Exynos 7885 chipset, same as the one used in Galaxy A7 2018. The smartphone will be available in two versions of either 3GB RAM + 32 Gigs of storage or 4GB RAM and 64GB of internal memory.

Meet the New Honor View 20, Honor's first smartphone with an in-display camera

Honor is ready to announce the high-end View 20 smartphone. While the official global launch is all set for 22nd January 2019 in Paris, the manufacturer has officially revealed some details about this device in advance. Among other things, an in-Display selfie camera and a rear camera equipped with the 48-megapixel sensor are the key highlights.

The sensor used in the main rear camera is no other than the Sony IMX586 while the front selfie camera is hidden inside a small hole at the upper left corner of the display. The smartphone packs a Kirin 980 processor under the hood and like other Honor devices, it'll also implement the GPU Turbo technology to optimise the overall performance of hardware while gaming
As far as the main camera is concerned, the smartphone will not crack out gigantic raw photos with a large 48MP sensor but its mainly there to work in accordance with the AI to capture more light or the details, depending on the scenario, just like the latest Huawei flagships.

Honor also claimed the photo result of View 20 to be nearer to a DSLRs, something that every manufacturer has been babbling about their new flagships for years now and has a very little to do with reality. Nevertheless, Honor View 20 camera certainly does pack a punch that can impress its users.
Even Xiaomi is said to be working on a 48 megapixels sensor smartphone. And in that case, it will also be the Sony IMX586. So apparently, Honor wants to be there a little faster. While the global launch of the Honor View 20 is scheduled for January 22, next year, the smartphone will debut in China as the HONOR V20 much earlier on 26th of December, 2018.

Huawei P30 Pro Leaked images with a Water-drop notch

The Huawei P30 Pro is expected to be available in the first quarter of 2019 and is equipped with up to four cameras on the back. Some rumors suggested earlier that the handset will have a cut-out screen design with the selfie camera placed under the screen similar to the Samsung Galaxy A8s. However, the leaked image posted on slashleaks suggests otherwise.
The alleged images are said to be of P30 pro's glass protector where a waterdrop notch can clearly be seen. Soon after, we saw a tweet from Ice Universe, a well-known source for tech leaks who also claimed that P30 Pro will have a conventional waterdrop notch instead of an in-display selfie camera.
According to the report, Huawei had its options, either to go with IPS LCD where they are capable of embedding the selfie camera cut-out in the screen like we saw in Huawei Nova 4 or stick with OLED Panels with a notch without compromising the display quality. As at present, Samsung is the only company capable of producing OLED panels with display hole under the official Infinity-O design.


Now that we know Huawei P30 Pro will use the curved OLED screen with a Notch produced by LG or BOE from China.  A well-known concept designer Benjamin Geskin has created a new render image for the Huawei P30 Pro based on the recently emerging leaks. A water-drop notch on the front, four cameras by Leica on the rear and the back itself is represented in beautiful gradient color with LED flash placed next to the camera setup.
Other Rumored Specs include a Kirin 980 processor, 8GB of RAM, 128GB of built-in storage and a Quad camera setup on the back along with Sony's 38MP IMX607 camera sensor which is known for some impressive low light performance.

This is the new Honor View 20, with a hole in display and a 48-megapixel camera

The Honor family is all set to welcome its new high-end smartphone. Honor View 20 or V20 as it'll be called in China, will get released in its country of origin on December 26. So honor is also saying goodbye to the notch jumping on the in-Display selfie camera bandwagon.
Thanks to the Huawei's official online store in China, VMall, unveiled the handset while taking the preorders, showing us its design for the first time along with its key technical specifications.

In a tweet by renowned leaker Roland Quandt, we can actually see the design of the Honor View 20 for the very first time, beyond the promotional posters that the company showed us in the past. Details such as the inclusion of a 48-megapixel sensor are also confirmed, suggesting the handset will bear a close resemblance to the Huawei Nova 4 launched a few days ago.
The most striking detail of the phone is its design. especially, the hole in the screen that accommodates the front camera. Huawei calls it Full View 3.0 as the in-Display selfie sensor has allowed Huawei to reduce the upper bezel to the minimum, though not much is done about the bottom one, so we'll continue seeing the bottom chin as it was in the earlier models.
As for the specifications are concerned, it will mount the new Kirin 980 processor, accompanied by 6GB of RAM. We also hope to see an in-display fingerprint reader just like the one in Huawei Mate 20 Pro. Just a day after the Christmas Honor will release View 20, its new commitment to the high-end price range.
