Posted: 26 Apr 2019 04:30 AM PDT

The fingerprint scanner has moved under the display in the pursuit to make room for bigger screens, but with a big caveat - it can only be placed under an OLED panel since only this type of display can allow for the light to pass from underneath the matrix. Now, a Chinese company called Fortsense, has figured out a way to implement the sensor under an LCD, and expect smartphone manufacturers to adopt the tech by the end of the year. Photos of the Fortsense presentation According to leaked photos of a marketing presentation, Fortsense has figured out how to let light pass...

Posted: 26 Apr 2019 12:30 AM PDT

This midrange device is reportedly called the 'Huawei P Smart Z' and follows the trends that have been set by both vivo NEX S and the Oppo Find X. These leaked renders come to us from Mobielkopen who also provide the alleged specs for the P Smart Z. For starters, the pop-up camera mechanism houses a 16Mp front-facing camera with an f/2.0 aperture.

Apple and Qualcomm deal pushed Intel to quit 5G plans

Posted: 25 Apr 2019 11:45 PM PDT

Earlier this month we heard Intel decided to quit plans for mobile 5G, following the surprise settlement between Apple and Qualcomm. The company announced lower financial forecast, officially stating that the deal between its competitor and the iPhone maker was the key reason for dropping the idea of mobile 5G. Quitting plans for the next-gen connectivity seems like the logical deal since Apple was the key customer of Intel. However, this only means 5G for smartphones is a dead idea - it will keep working on networking and infrastructure products, as well as modems for devices that...

iPhone XI "final" CAD-based renders appear, huge camera bump and all

Posted: 25 Apr 2019 08:00 PM PDT

Remember those renders claimed to portray the iPhone XI (the successor to the XS) with a huge ghastly camera bump on the back? Today sees the leak of the alleged "final" CAD-based renders of the iPhone XI, and - shock horror - the hump is still there. In terms of surface area, this has to be the biggest bump ever seen on a smartphone, so Apple can brag about that in its presentation this fall. Jokes aside, if this is indeed the final design of the iPhone XI (or whatever it will end up being called), then it's going to be polarizing to say the least. Anyway, the huge hump houses...

Huawei's EMUI reaches 470 million daily active users

Posted: 25 Apr 2019 06:30 PM PDT

Huawei's EMUI skin has reached over 470 million daily active users recently. The information comes straight from Wang Chenglu, president of the software department at the company's consumer business group. He revealed the milestone today in China at an EMUI-focused media briefing. He emphasized EMUI's growth over the past few years, which unsurprisingly is a result of Huawei's smartphone sales (of its own brand but also Honor devices). Right now, EMUI is available in 77 languages across 216 countries or regions in the world. Wang also reminded us of the key features the latest EMUI...

Xiaomi's Black Shark 2 gaming phone excels this durability test

Posted: 25 Apr 2019 05:00 PM PDT

Today's video from JerryRigEverything is dedicated to Xiaomi's budget gaming smartphone - the Black Shark 2. However, calling it a budget handset won't do it justice as the handset features high-end hardware, premium build and as it turns out very durable body. The scratch test confirms that the front and some parts of the rear panel are made of glass while the rest is pure metal with an anodized finish on top. It's probably not that easy to scratch it, but the grooves are quite prominent. Oh, and the buttons are also made of metal. Interestingly, the in-display fingerprint reader works...

Nokia lost money in Q1 as 5G investment is yet to start paying off

Posted: 25 Apr 2019 02:00 PM PDT

It appears that Nokia is having a rocky 2019 start as results from the Q1 2019 show a significant loss in contrast to last year's Q1. The company posted a surprising €254 million loss in Q1 2019 compared to the €46 million profit in Q1 2018. That's a result of Nokia's investments in 5G, which are yet to start paying off. Sweden's Ericsson and China's Huawei are considered to be Nokia's main 5G rivals and since the Chinese firm is under fire on all fronts over security concerns, it could be a big opportunity for Nokia. It's under significant pressure to deliver in the second half of...

Huawei P30 Pro receives a software update

The standard low-light photos see some improvement, too, along with the SuperZoom feature. The in-display fingerprint reader gets a couple of fixes that should result in overall better performance in terms of speed and accuracy. It will supposedly get more sensitive as well, whatever that means. In addition, you can...
