Xiaomi Hints at a Redmi Snapdragon 855 phone – Following Pocophone’s steps?

Some time ago, Xiaomi, the highly popular smartphone manufacturer, hinted at a Redmi phone, soon to come, with flagship specs. General Manager of Redmi, Lu Weibing confirmed back in February that the company was coming out with a flagship Redmi phone powered by the Snapdragon 855. And while the release date was only a guess back then, the GM again hinted that it is coming very soon!

According to Lu Weibing’s post, the Redmi flagship will be the most affordable Snapdragon 855 phone by far. The price will surely, be a shocker!

The recently launched Meizu 16s, for now, is the cheapest phone with a Snapdragon 855. So, if we go by what he says, we’re probably looking at something to follow the footsteps of Pocophone F1. Maybe, this is the new Pocophone F2, even? Who knows? Xiaomi does crazy things with their pricing… So, it won’t be much of a surprise even if it is indeed the Poco F2!

Anyways, the GM tipped that the upcoming phone will have a higher screen aspect ratio, better camera, better battery, and better performance. Of course, he didn’t say compared to what…but he claims that the device is worth waiting for. If we get a similar device to the Pocophone F1 with improvements, it might be well, worth it.

A while back, Xiaomi co-founder and president, Lin Bin was spotted with a mysterious phone featuring a pop-up camera as well. So, we might also be looking at some new features with on the new phone. But we can’t be sure, of course. Also, there isn’t any other information about the device. Except that it will have triple cameras, a large 6.39″ Full HD+ display, and 4000 mAh battery. So, the new Redmi flagship with the Snapdragon 855 should be an exciting device!

Oppo announces Oppo A9 with a 16MP selfie camera and a big battery

Oppo usually launches ‘Youth’ variant as the toned down version of their midrange F-series devices. We saw devices like Oppo F5 Youth and F7 Youth in the past. But this time, Oppo announced the toned down version of the Oppo F11 as the Oppo A9.

Overview

In the ‘Youth’ version of the device, Oppo usually strips down the specs in the imaging part. And similar is the case on this one. The newly launched Oppo A9 features a dual rear camera setup with the combination of 16MP and 5MP sensor. It was initially 48MP + 5MP setup on the Oppo F11. On the front lies a 16MP selfie shooter tucked inside the teardrop style notch.

Talking about the display, the phone gets the 6.53-inch IPS LCD panel enriched with Full-HD+ resolution. Nothing about the display protection has been mentioned yet. But Oppo has clearly specified the device will have a screen to body ratio of 90.7%.

Moving on to the performance, we have the MediaTek Helio P70 chipset on the board. And to complement the performance, there is 6GB of RAM. The phone also comes aboard with 128GB of onboard memory with an SD card slot for the storage expansion.

On to the software part, we get the Android Pie like most of the phones in 2019. Oppo has also flavored the user interface with its custom skin ColorOS on the top. The software also includes GameBoost 2.0, which is said to enhance gaming performance.

The device comes with a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner and packs a sizable 4020mAh battery underneath.

Huawei Y9 Prime 2019 – Huawei’s first Pop-up camera phone!

While smartphones are getting pretty stagnant due to lack of interesting innovations, companies tend to be experimenting with cameras. And in this regard, the pop-up cameras seem to be the new standard. While other companies are coming out with things like Shark fin pop-ups, like the Oppo Reno, Huawei is just about to launch it’s first pop-up camera smartphone – the Huawei Y9 Prime 2019.

Of course, these are, but rumors. But the source we have is legit. Huawei is set to launch a pop-up camera phone sometime this year, and very soon. And since this is going to be a Y-series device, you can expect it to be much more affordable than what other pop-up camera phones, like Vivo V15 and Oppo F11 Pro cost!

Huawei Y9 Prime 2019 Overview

First off, the Huawei Y9 Prime will have a good sized 6.59″ IPS LCD display, with Full HD+ resolution. And with it having a pop-up selfie camera, there will be no notches or such on it. So, the display experience is going to be something to look forward to.

And since the world is moving up with 3 cameras even in the mid-range and budget sector, like the Vivo Y17, Huawei is going to do the same. This phone will come equipped with three cameras – a 16 MP primary camera, an 8 MP Ultra-wide angle camera and a 2 MP depth sensor. The pop-up selfie camera will be a 16 MP lens.

Under the hood, we can expect the phone to be powered by a Kirin 710 chip, Huawei’s mid-range chipset. The chipset based on the 12nm process is comparable to the Snapdragon 660 and Helio P60 / P70. There’s about 4 GB RAM while storage is about 128 GB. However, we’re not sure about it being expandable. But we’re sure it will come with a fingerprint sensor at the back. Yet, we’re unsure about it having a Face Unlock feature.

The Huawei Y9 Prime 2019 will also have a big 4000 mAh battery. But it’s highly unlikely it will have a Fast Charging standard. However, it will have a USB Type-C port on it, which is a good step forward for phones in such price range.

Price and Availability

The phone has not come out yet. It is, still, in its rumor stages. But since our source is legit, we believe there won’t be many changes in the above-mentioned specs. Pricing is not yet known.  But keep in mind that this phone is a Y-series, so, it will definitely be affordable. We’re guessing somewhere less than $300, which makes it pretty affordable for a pop-up camera phone.

So, what do you think of the Huawei Y9 Prime 2019? Do you think, it will be the next big thing in the affordable mid-range segment? Let us know.

Samsung firevase is a flower vase that doubles as a throwable fire extinguisher

Fire can start anytime. Especially in the electricity driven environment, a short circuit can happen anytime and things can get on fire. At home, there are even higher chances because of the kitchens. Wouldn’t it be cool if you can extinguish the fire with the decorative stuff furnished in the houses and offices? Well, Samsung’s subsidiary company called the Cheil Worldwide came with a similar concept and designed the ‘Firevase’.

Firevase is actually a vase that can hold a flower and serves as a decorate material when kept in a room. But in case of the fire, you can throw it to a burning place to put out the blazing fire. The vase comes with a small compartment on the inside, which holds the flower. The outside chamber is filled with potassium carbonate, which cools down and suppresses oxygen when the vase is smashed. Most of us know that fire requires oxygen to get burning. In the absence of oxygen, fire extinguishes and the company used the same trick to put out the fire almost instantaneously.

This Firevase is getting success in Samsung’s homeland South Korea. The rule to have a fire extinguisher in a home has been mandatory since 2017. However, less than 60% of the population had one. But with the firevase coming into the limelight that population surged by a laudable 8%. Since this fire extinguisher doesn’t tarnish the décor of the house, the majority of the population has been attracted by the product.

Earlier reports suggested that the company produced 100,000 units of the firevases as a part of the publicity campaign. After the success of the campaign, Cheil Worldwide is now striving to produce 200,000 more units of the vases.

Although this dual purpose vase sounds whimsy, it could be lifesaving at times. But can it truly replace the traditional type of fire extinguishers? That’s yet to be seen.

Vivo Y17 goes official – A budget phone with triple cameras!

If you still carry a phone with a single camera…you’re probably out of today’s smartphone trend. Because single cameras are a thing of the past now. Dual cameras are the standard, whereas triple cameras seem normal. And triple cameras on flagship and premium mid-rangers are becoming popular. But with the Vivo Y17, even the budget phone segment is getting the taste of triple cameras!

The only other Vivo’s phones to sport triple cameras are the Vivo V15 and the V15 Pro, apart from their flagships. But these two devices still cost upwards of some $400. The Y17, however, costs about $260. And I get that it’s not strictly budget territory, it’s still less than a typical mid-range device.

Vivo Y17 Overview

The Y17 is and looks like a budget phone from the outside, though. You get a big 6.35″ IPS LCD display but only has HD+ resolution though. Also, the aspect ratio is a bit strange at 19.3:9. And internal hardware constitutes of Helio P35 chipset, combined with 4 GB RAM. Also, you get a pretty good storage space of 128 GB, too.

However, the main attraction of the Y17 is the triple camera setup. This setup comprises of a 13 MP primary camera, an 8 MP ultra-wide shooter and a 2 MP depth sensor. With this, we can definitely see ultra-wide-angle cameras becoming more popular. Also, it’s selfie camera is a good 20 MP.

Another noteworthy feature is the massive 5000 mAh battery on it. In addition, you get 18-Watt Fast Charging support as well. Plus, there’s the “Ultra-Game Mode” which smoothens your gaming experience by optimizing resources.

But it’s a completely different story on the front. The F11 Pro comes with a pop-up selfie camera in a rectangular cartridge. But on the Oppo Reno, the cartridge of the pop-up selfie camera looks like a shark fin and hence the name shark fin pop-up selfie camera.

The device flaunts a camera triplet on its rear panel. Just like the vanilla version, the primary shooter here employs a 48MP sensor, which comes with an f/2.0 lens. The second one suits with an 8MP sensor and an ultra-wide-angle lens. The last one is a 13MP periscope-style camera, which is said to capture images with 10x zooming.

Different telecoms from various nations already started launching the 5G networks and some are on the quick verge of doing so. The Swisscom launched its 5G network in Zurich just two weeks back. EE will test its 5G network in June.

On the price part, the vanilla Reno is a midrange phone tagged along with the starting price of €500. The phone will be available in countries like France, The Netherlands, Italy, Spain, and Poland starting from the 10th of May. The Reno 5G will also launch in these countries sometimes in May.

Khalti is now a Payment Service Provider

Khalti, one of the most popular digital payment services, is moving up in the digital payment service. Nepal Rastra Bank has now provided the company with a Payment Service Provider (PSP) license. This means that besides digital payment services, Khalti is now able to provide domestic money transfer facilities and other mobile financial services in Nepal.

Payment Service Provider (PSP) are the ones who work behind the scenes in the payment ecosystem. They make modern commerce possible by providing connective financial tissue between merchants, consumers, card brand networks and financial institutions. They are responsible to connect merchants to the electronic financial system so that they can accept credit and debit card payments. With Khalti, now such merchants will also accept payment via Khalti.

eSewa is another Payment Service Provider in Nepal. And we can see how popular it has become with the users. Most organizations use eSewa to make payment to each other for their business transactions, which are more systematic and easier as well.

Khalti already provides services like electronic bill payments and bookings. With the PSP, it will be able to provide users a broader level of services to the users, which might make the lives of consumers, like us, easier and more convenient.

What do you think of Khalti? How much do you use it? And what do you think of the services? I, personally, would like to see Khalti add more banks to their list. Do let us know your thoughts on this.
