If on time, we have less than a month left till the launch of iPhone 8. Being the 10th-anniversary model, the hype around the smartphone is understandable.


Today, we have come across images of the iPhone 8's display assembly on Weibo. While there are a bunch of images, we will be focusing on the most important one. From the image shown above, you can see the digitizer and the connecting cables. 




There are four circular cut-outs and a slit for the earpiece at the top. Presumably, the front camera and the iris scanner will be placed on the right. The small circle on the left should be a sensor, while the bigger one could be a LED flash.

 That being said, we are not too convinced that the iPhone 8's front camera will be accompanied by a LED flash. Interestingly, the alleged opening for LED flash sports a different color than others. Going by earlier leaks, the iris scanner on the iPhone 8 is expected to be positioned on the left. 

The display assembly further reveals that the smartphone will arrive with a full-screen design. Apparently, the front of the iPhone 8 will be dominated by the screen. 

So the upcoming flagship will feature an almost bezel-less display with a striking resemblance to the Android biggies such as the LG G6 and Samsung Galaxy S8/S8 Plus. Of late, we got to come across several new reports about the iPhone 8 suggesting that the device might come with a few features that have been never seen before. 

The upcoming Apple smartphone is believed to feature a wireless charging support and come in a copper color variant as some of the Android devices in the market. In fact, the copper color variant is catching up with the trend in the recent days.

Android O might be named Orangina

Google recently rolled out the fourth and final Android O Developer Preview. This is the final preview to be announced before the roll out of the official Android O update to the consumers later this year.

However, the actual name of Android O is still not revealed. A few days ago Google employees in a Reddit AMA session said that they are yet to decide on the name. While the popular choices are Oreo and Oatmeal cookie, Google's VP has hinted at a different possibility. 


Going by his post on Twitter, the upcoming Android version will have an entirely different name. It might be called Orangina. Yes, you read it right. As you can see from the picture, it contains a number of names like Onion and Olive, but Orangina is in eye-catchy color and written in a bigger font. For those who are not aware, Orangina is sweet carbonated orange drink mainly found and consumed in France. 

The Google VP, who oversees Platforms and Ecosystem, however, has not explained the meaning of this picture. The post is captioned as #nocomment. So this is just our assumption. Having said that, if it turns out to be legit, Google will be breaking its tradition of naming its Android versions after desserts and candies. 

Talking about the features of Android O, it will offer notification channels, shortcut pinning, auto-fill, picture-in-picture mode to name a few. These features are expected to help increase the user engagement with the apps so that more users will upgrade to the upcoming Android O platform with time.

Lately, we have been coming across reports tipping that Andy Rubin's Essential brand might be working on a new smartphone with the model number A11. 

Now, an Essential branded smartphone carrying the model number A11 has received the Wi-Fi certification (via GizmoChina). However, the smartphone that has surfaced on the website of Wi-Fi Alliance appears to be the same as the already launched Essential PH-1 smartphone. 


The certification website reveals that the latest one to hit the headlines will be launched with the Android 7.1.1 Nougat OS out of the box. From the Wi-Fi certification database, it is clear that the Essential PH-1 will arrive with the model number A11 and support 2.4GHz and 5GHz dual-band Wi-Fi.

 The same smartphone received the FCC approval in the U.S., which is necessary for its release. Launched on May 30 this year, the Essential smartphone was expected to debut shipping from June 30 but the same is yet to start. 

Given that the Essential PH-1 has received both the Wi-Fi and FCC certifications those are important for its release, it can be said that the shipping of the device might debut soon. As per the COO of the brand, Niccolo de Masi, the Essential Phone's release is imminent in the U.S. market. 

However, there has been no mention about when exactly the device will be released for the buyers. Also, the company has not provided any reason for the delay in the shipping of the Essential Phone to the pre-ordered consumers. 

Maybe, it could be related to the exit of the company's Vice President of Marketing, Brian Wallace and the Head of Communications Andy Fouché.


Recently, a render of the Google Pixel XL 2 that is likely to be launched in the fourth quarter of this year was leaked online. A popular YouTuber with the channel Concept Creator has created a new concept video of the Google Pixel XL 2 based on the leaked render.

The concept of the upcoming flagship shows that the device might combine both metal and glass in order to give a premium look. Also, it is believed to feature chamfered edges and curved corners. The device is also shown to feature a flat display with curved corners. 

It seems to be almost bezels at the side and has thin bezels at the top and bottom edges. Also, there seems to be no physical home button at the front. Also read: Google Pixel XL 2 will also feature Always On display The concept render of the Google Pixel XL 2 seems to have physical buttons on the side for the volume rocker and power controls. 


There seems to be a USB Type-C port at the bottom and a 3.5mm audio jack at the top of this device. The concept video shows that the smartphone might have a metal rear with the upper part of the same covered in glass. There appears to be a round-shaped rear-mounted fingerprint sensor too.


 The camera assembly consisting of a single sensor and LED flash along with two sensors for the laser and light autofocus are also seen. Also read: Google Pixel XL 2 render hints at a nearly bezel-less design This Google Pixel XL 2 concept shows the smartphone in different color variants such as red, blue, black and blue green. Once again, we remind you that this is not official and just a fan-made concept. So, we cannot except the Pixel 2 XL to arrive as shown in the concept video.




Xiaomi is all set to launch its next big screen device- Mi Max 2 in the Indian market tomorrow. The smartphone will be the successor to the original Mi Max and will boast a massive screen and some high-end specifications.
Amidst, we came across a report published by Phonearena, which hints a deal between the Chinese smartphone maker and the Korean tech giant Samsung.
As per the report, Xiaomi's next big screen device, possibly the successor to the Mi Max 2 or a device from Redmi series will sport a 6-inch OLED screen by Samsung.
 The report cites Korean publication- The Bell as a source and says that Xiaomi has recently signed a deal with Samsung for a supply of several million panels for its upcoming 2018 flagship. 
It further says that the shipments are reported to start this December, with an initial supply of 1 million, and a subsequent one of 2.2 million more the next month.
Notably, Xiaomi was supposed to integrate OLED panels manufactured by LG but the deal never finalized. If reports come out to be true and Xiaomi managed to integrate the Samsung's OLED panels, the next handsets from the company are bound to step up the game in the multimedia department. OLED panels are known for their punchy and vibrant color reproduction.
Moreover, it might be the case that Xiaomi is trying to implement the new taller 18:9 aspect ratio in its upcoming devices and the next flagship handset from the company might just be the one with an edge-to-edge screen.

Nokia Edge is a long rumored concept smartphone. Going by the recent media reports, it looks like this one will be the upcoming Nokia flagship
From the nomenclature of Nokia Android smartphones that leaked along with their processor details, it is clear that there is no such Nokia device launching this year. But the Nokia 9 flagship with high-end specifications will be followed by another premium mid-range, which could be the Nokia 8. This smartphone is likely to be launched soon in the market.
Buttonless Edge display
In the meantime, Concept Creator, a well-known artist involved in creating concept renders of the upcoming smartphones has come up with an interesting concept for the Nokia Edge. Basically, the designer has conceptualized these renders based on the Nokia 8 images those were leaked previously. However, those Nokia 8 renders aren't legitimate, claim the media reports.

Buttonless Edge display As the name suggests, the Nokia Edge has been envisioned to feature a buttonless edge display as seen in the video. Also, it is said to have an under glass fingerprint sensor at the front. Powerful specs imagined The device has been imagined to house a Snapdragon 835 SoC paired with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage space. The imaging aspects are said to include a 14MP Carl Zeiss camera and an 8MP selfie camera as well. From the recent leaks, it is known that the Nokia 8 might use a Snapdragon 845 SoC.

The images and test reports submitted by the manufacturers to the FCC has revealed several details about the smartphone.

The report reveals that the smartphone will have compatibility with 2G GSM and 3G WCDMA networks. The device also supports LTE networks on several bandwidths including 2, 4, 5, 7, 12, 13 and 66. Now, recently Freedom Mobile, a Canadian wireless network provider deployed network support for Band 66. This gives a hint that the Canada may be one of the first few areas where the device is launched.


The images of the Alcatel H076 reveal details of its design ass well. The device sports front facing dual speakers. The rear panel of the device sports a single lens camera with a flash and a fingerprint sensor rests right below it. The headphone jack is placed on top of the smartphone while the micro USB port is on the opposite side.
The right side of the Alcatel H076 houses the power button as well as the volume rockers. The smartphone has a removable rear panel and SIM cards, as well as micro SD card, are housed below the rear panel.
The illustrations of the internal parts of the smartphone revealed that it will run on a MediaTek MT 6750 Soc. The chipset is a 64 bit, octa-core processor. The device will draw power from a 4000 mAh non-removable battery.
Now, that the smartphone has passed through FCC certification it is expected to be launched soon in the US


Ending all the speculations, the LG Q6 aka the LG Mini has finally been announced officially. Interestingly, the handset comes in three different memory variants: LG Q6, LG Q6+ and LG Q6a.
So what are the differences between all these handsets? We will find out but let's find out the similarities first. All the LG Q6 variants sport a 5.5-inch display that delivers a full HD+ resolution of 2,160×1,080 pixels along with a pixel density of 442 ppi. Both the chassis and edge of the screen are curved a bit. LG has also used 7000 series aluminum frame along the edges of the LG Q6 phones.
As you can from the images, keeping in line with the recent trends the LG Q6 models come with minimal bezels. Under the hood, the smartphones come equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 435 chipset. Storage wise, the LG Q6+ features 4GB of RAM and 64GB of inbuilt storage. The LG Q6 has 3GB of RAM and 32GB of default storage. Lastly, being a low-end model, the LG Q6a offers 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage space.
Speaking of optics, the smartphones adorn a 13MP rear camera accompanied by a single LED flash light. Likewise, there is a 5MP wide-angle selfie camera at the front that is equipped with a face recognition sensor.


LG Q6, Q6+ and Q6a announced; features Snapdragon 435, Android Nougat

Contrary to the rumors, the LG Q6 models do not have a fingerprint sensor, which is quite unusual. As for the software, the handsets run on Android 7.1.1 Nougat OS with LG's UX 6.0 layer on top. Powering the devices is a non-removable 3000mAh battery.
On the connectivity front, the options offered by the LG Q6, LG Q6+ and LG Q6a include LTE/3G/2G data connectivity, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, v4.2 Bluetooth, NFC and USB Type-B 2.0.

Xiaomi has announced that it will launch a new smartphone on July 11 and the teaser along with the specification on the device hints it to be Mi 6 Plus. The announcement was made on Xiaomi Store Weibo account. 

Xiaomi also published a poster teasing the specifications of the smartphone. The teaser revealed that the device will have 6GB of RAM along with Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor. 

The specs are very similar to that of previous flagships from Xiaomi. The Mi 6 and Mi Mix launched in 2017 had similar specs which are the reasons for the rising speculation for the unnamed smartphone to be Mi 6 Plus.

Xiaomi also released a video teaser of the smartphone that is due for launch until tomorrow. The video teases the launch of a smartphone with a large display size and 22MP rear camera with 4K video recording support.


 The video also says that the upcoming smartphone will have a 4000 mAh battery, NFC support along with USB Type-C quick charging port.


The upcoming smartphone will also have a 3D glass body design. All the specs collectively point at the launch of Mi 6 Plus on July 11. 

There is yet another speculation for the smartphone to be Xiaomi Mi MIX 2 which was recently spotted on a benchmark platform. However, the benchmarked specs for Mi MIX 2 are quite different from the specs teased in the video. 

No matter which smartphone Xiaomi launches, it is going to be one with some high-end specs.



With the IFA 2017 coming up, Sony is expected to launch several smartphones at the event. While most of the reports have suggested that Sony will launch a flagship handset which will be the Sony G83XX model and a compact version which will be Sony G84XX.

While nothing is officially confirmed as yet, a new Sony smartphone has just appeared in a benchmarking database, AnTuTu. Dubbed as Sony G8441, this is yet another smartphone model from Sony.

 So the question now is which smartphone will Sony actually launch. That being said, the appearance of the new smartphone on AnTuTu means only one thing. 

We now get to know some of the key features and specifications of this device. And at the same time, we will be giving or guesses on which smartphone this model could actually be.

Besides, the listing on AnTuTu reveals that the device is powered by a Snapdragon 835 chipset. The device seems to come with 4GB RAM and 32GB internal storage along with sporting a 720p HD display. 

As for the camera the alleged smartphone sports an 8MP sensor both at the front and rear. The interesting thing here is that the smartphone is running on Android O. 

However, it is worth noting that these are not the final specs that the smartphone will be launched in. The company is basically testing the smartphone and the features and the company might not include these in the final product.


Sony G84XX model appears in AnTuTu: Features Android O and more


As for our assumptions, we are guessing this Sony G83XX model could be a smartphone in the Sony Xperia XZ series. But again it could entirely be a new smartphone in a new series. 


As of now, no official statement of confirmation has been provided about the phone or its availability. We are expecting the company to make some announcements during the company's IFA conference in Berlin on August 31.


Image result for xiaomi aka  jdi screen


A few days back, we saw the render of a Xiaomi smartphone with a design that is reminiscent to that of the Samsung Galaxy S8.

 It was not sure if this is the Mi Mix 2 or the Mi Note 3 though the former makes more sense.

However, the recent rumors suggest that this device might not be the Mi Mix 2. It is believed to be a flagship device with powerful specs. More details regarding this smartphone have emerged online via a Weibo post. 

The device is said to belong to an all new series called Xiaomi X and is internally referred by the codename "Chiron".

JDI’s full screen display The Xiaomi X smartphone is said to be the full-screen display device that was rumored so long. It is believed to flaunt a 6-inch LCD display from JDI (Japanese Display International).



Image result for xiaomi aka  jdi screen



 The display is said to carry a resolution of 2160x1080 pixels. From the image, it can be seen that the display has extremely thin bezels at the top and bottom edges.

8GB RAM is expected The Xiaomi full-screen phone is claimed to be a hardware powerhouse as it is rumored to arrive with the Snapdragon 835 SoC backed by 8GB RAM and 256GB internal memory capacity. 


Image result for xiaomi aka  jdi screen


The imaging aspects of the Xiaomi X aka Xiaomi Chiron are said to be similar to that of the Mi 6 with dual 12MP Sony IMX362 sensors at the rear and a 5MP selfie camera at the front.

July 25 launch likely Going by the source, the Xiaomi X model is believed to be launched on July 25 along with the Redmi 6X. The Redmi 6X is likely to arrive with a Snapdragon 660 SoC paired with 6GB RAM. The device is said to have dual rear camera sensors and a 5.46-inch Insel display from JDI.


It has already been reported that Xiaomi is all set to debut the closed beta testing of the upcoming interface MIUI 9. Following this, the company revealed the list of devices that will get the update officially.

Image result for miui 9


Now, Huang, the Xiaomi VP in charge of marketing shared a couple of MIUI 9 screenshots on Weibo. He let out the screenshots in order to get feedback from fans to know what they actually think about it. Notably, these screenshots have come days after the official confirmation of the MIUI 9 development. 

The MIUI 9 based on Android 7.0 Nougat is claimed to arrive with features such as picture-in-picture and split screen. There are reports that Xiaomi will be canceling off the SMS scheduling feature on the MIUI 9 due to a meager number of SMS users. 

Also, there will not be any unnecessary apps that are stuck in the display as it lets users delete the system apps and this will be a welcome feature. The theme of MIUI 9 seen in the screenshots doesn't seem to impress us as it is looking plain. It is possible to change the theme as per the users' preferences. 




The icon style seems to bear a striking resemblance to those of the previous iterations of MIUI. We still have enough time to expect the MIUI 9 to be released officially. 

The stable ROM of the interface will be rolled out only after the closed and open beta testing. Xiaomi should buck up with the process as Google will soon roll out the Android 8.0 while the MIUI 9 is based on last year's Android Nougat.



We all know Lenovo has a sub-brand Motorola. Day to day Lenovo test on Motorola in the market many mobiles launched by moto.  Moto India has been tweeting the teasers quite frequently and the teaser more or less hinted at Moto E4 Plus' arrival.

However, apart from the Plus variant, the company is also expected to launch Moto E4 in India at the same time. 

And it seems the launch might happen soon. A post on Twitter by Mumbai-based retailer Mahesh Telecom hints that Moto E4's launch is imminent and that it will be arriving The interesting part though is that the retailer has also revealed the pricing and availability details of the smartphone. 

Going by the tweet, the smartphone is expected to be priced at around Rs. 8,500-Rs. 8,700. And as per the tweet, the smartphone should be made available through offline channels. Coming soon - #MotoE4 Appx Price Rs.8500 - Rs.8700 pic.twitter.com/qzZDh8jydd — Mahesh Telecom (@MAHESHTELECOM) June 28, 2017.

What's interesting is that Motorola might be following the same strategy as it did with the recently launched smartphones Moto C and Moto C Plus where one model was made available offline, and the other online. 

In any case, Motorola will be launching Moto E4 and Moto E4 Plus in India soon.

Moto E4 Specifications While Moto E4 has already been launched in other markets, here are the key features and specifications of the device. To begin with, Moto E4 comes with a 5-inch HD (720x1280 pixels) display with 2.5D curved glass on top.
