The Xiaomi Redmi 5A is an update to the company’s Redmi 4A which was launched in India earlier this year. The variant that was spotted on TENAA comes with a 5-inch HD (1,280 x 720p) display. It seems that Xiaomi has also made some modifications to the design of the budget device. The Redmi 5A appears to sport a metal unibody design with horizontal antenna bands. That said, it’s too early to take a call on the same by simply looking at the TENAA images....

Looks and design – glass clashes with metal This is one of the most lopsided rounds in the contest. The Redmi Note 5 Pro has largely stuck to the Redmi Note 4 design language with its blend of metal back and glass front, with the 5.99-inch display having moved to 18:9 aspect ratio land, making the phone a little taller. It is not a bad-looking device (there is even some similarity to the iPhone X on the rear thanks to the vertical set up of the dual cameras) and is reasonably slim at 8....

Many aren’t aware of the fact that the MIUI was the first product from Xiaomi. The company which is now a commendable face in the consumer electronics business having started off as a software company. Xiaomi reveals that seven years down the line, its MIUI ROM has amassed over 2.8 million downloads from 142 countries. Besides, the MIUI 9 now supports 55 languages.

Okay, here’s what you need to know — The ZTE Axon M (terrible name, though) features two 5.2-inch 1080p panels instead of the usual one. The secondary display can be flipped around back and fourth whenever you need it. The phone achieves this fitting a hinge in the middle that also causes the phone to become 12.1mm thick and 230 grams heavy. You can either put the additional panel against the primary one and turn it into a tablet of slots or run two entirely different instances on both....

ZUK apparently has shifted from using CyanogenOS in its devices in selected markets to using their own ZUI across all devices selling globally.

The Chinese sub brand recently launched their ZUK Z2 and Z2 Pro in China, thereby becoming one of the first smartphone makers to make use of a 6GB RAM chip. For those unaware, ZUK Z2 sports a 5....

That does not seem to have disheartened Meizu CEO Jack Wong, however. He has claimed that the crowdfunding was only for research purposes and not for mass production. He has also evidently referred to the Indiegogo campaign as a “marketing stunt” on Weibo. All of which would come as a surprise to many who had hailed the device as a glimpse of the future. The Meizu Zero indeed had brought a lot of crazy high-tech to the table, claiming to use a ceramic unibody that was IP68 dustproof and waterproof and had no openings whatsoever – the sound came from the display, the fingerprint scanner was under the display, there were pressure sensitive buttons on the side for volume and other functions, eSIM card support, and wireless charging....

Told you it was like Instagram Stories! The big question is just how useful is it? The whole idea of messages and images that could disappear after a while came from Snapchat of course, and has been adapted by Facebook and Instagram as well. So some would say why should Twitter not have the same feature? It adds a nice multimedia touch to what is generally a very text-heavy UI....

What had Dell done to deserve this? Well, a few weeks ago, when asked about what he would do to if he were the CEO of Apple (which was teetering on the verge of collapse and had recalled Steve Jobs), Dell had responded by saying: “What would I do? I’d shut it down and give the money back to the shareholders.” Ouch. Was Jobs really hurt at the remark? Or did he just use it to rev up and energize a team that had got accustomed to defeat for almost half a dozen years?...

Samsung was one of the earliest adopters of Qi Wireless Charging and arch-rival Apple joined late to the party in 2017 with the iPhone X. While all this is still fairly new on consumer tech, wireless charging or wireless induction has existed for more than a century, thanks to Nikola Tesla who discovered that energy can be transferred wirelessly with the help of magnetism. While there are much bigger applications of wireless charging or magnetic induction in general, we are going to stick to the technology in smartphones keeping in mind the scope of this article....

OnePlus does claim to have put in a lot of effort into the design of the watch, highlighting how it went for a round shape that was closer to a traditional watch, how it used premium craftsmanship, and that each one of these is hand-polished with more than twenty treatments. Well, the fact is that even after all that, the OnePlus Watch cuts a very familiar figure. It does look premium, but if you were expecting something radically different from everything else in the market, we would advise you to tone down your expectations....

It also is a victory for what is perhaps one of the most clever pricing strategies that we have seen for a single phone model in the Indian mobile phone market. Which is the reason why Poco was able to make the claim of being the number one in the online smartphone market of Rs 15,000 and above – it simply had variants in different segments. Of course, many phones release different variants of devices, but their pricing more often than not keeps them within a similar price segment – the most expensive OnePlus or iPhone will still be roughly within the same price segment as its base variant....
