So far, 2015 has been a year of Octa-core powered smartphones. Galaxy S6 is equipped with Samsung’s in-house chipset Exynos 7240 that comes with 8 cores, whereas CPU manufacturer Qualcomm also debuted their top tier Snapdragon 810 processor with 8 cores, and ever since it has been used in flagship phones like LG G flex 2 and HTC one M9.

Taiwanese SoC manufacturer MediaTek, however, recently announced Helio X20 SoC – the world’s first mobile processor with ten processing cores (Deca-core). The processor is set to make a debut in mid-October packed inside the Chinese smartphone brand Elephone.

According to the latest leaks, Elephone P9000 will be the first smartphone to sport Helio X20 SoC. Other rumored specs of the Elephone P9000 suggests a 5.5-inch display, 4GB RAM, 32GB storage, 20.7MP camera, 8MP front shooter, dual-SIM functionality and a 3,100mAh battery.

What’s the difference- Snapdragon 810 Vs MediaTek Helio X20:

Snapdragon 810 SoC has 8 cores with big.LITTLE architecture – four big powerful Cortex A57 cores operating at a frequency of 2 GHz and four LITTLE energy efficient Cortex A53 operating at a frequency of 1.55GHz. These 2 type of processor cluster delivers optimum performance and battery life for smartphones. A ‘LITTLE’ processor provides maximum power efficiency for everyday tasks like web browsing, messaging, etc. while a ‘big’ processor provides maximum computing capacity when required like while playing HD graphics intensifying games.

MediaTek Helio X20 Soc offers slightly different architecture than Snapdragon 810’s big.LITTLE. It comes with Tri-Cluster CPU architecture – big.MedIUM.LITTLE. This Tri-Cluster arrangement provides two ‘big’ Cortex A72 cores @2.5GHz offering extreme performance, four ‘MedIUM’ Cortex A53 cores @2.0GHz offering best performance/power balance, and four ‘LITTLE’ Cortex A53 cores @1.4GHz offering best power efficiency.

Mediatek says that the Tri-Cluster CPU architecture offers reduced power consumption (30% improvement) vs ARM big.LITTLE across all performance demand conditions.

I may not be the only one who regrets at the very last moment after clicking that send button on Gmail. Well for those who feel the same,WORRY NOT ! After being on the google labs for six long years, Google has finally decided to add the “Undo” feature on Gmail.

Here’s how to enable the undo feature:

1. Click the gear icon in the top right .
2. Select Settings.
3. Click the Labs
4. Find the “Undo Send” lab and select the Enable radio button.
5. Click Save Changes at the bottom of the page.

Select the amount of time to undo sending a message, you can choose time intervals between 5 seconds to 30 seconds. So, you get a lot of time to think about that mail you sent. On mobile devices,this feature is only on Inbox for now, but with the latest update Gmail will have this option as well. This is a pretty small feature that Google has added but can be of  a big importance for a lot of users.

Can this be the Best Battery in a Smartphone?

Smartphone battery  is one area that is yet to develop to its full extent. Smartphone companies are in some sort of race to make the handset thinner and lightweight in the expense of smartphone battery capacity. Making the best battery in a smartphone and look sexy is a difficult task to complete. Increasing the number of cores of the CPU, and bumping up the screen resolution up to 2K makes no sense if your smartphone battery doesn’t last a day. Taking that into perspective, a Chinese firm named Oukitel is developing a handset with a battery so large the smartphone will last all week on one charge. 

This handset (shown in the image) contains a compact 10,000mAh battery. Nowadays, we often see smartphones battery ranging from 2000mAh to 3500mAh, and even the recently launched Gionee M5 has 6200 mAh battery capacity. This 10,000 mAh battery can take hours to charge, so we might expect the handset to come with fast charging technology–a race that is already in progress. 

Apart from the battery capacity, the specifications of this mystery phone are yet to be revealed. Oukitel says the device will be released in a few months. So, what do you think about this 10,000mAh smartphone? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
