Apple iPhone 11 Pro Max selfie camera gets into the Top 10 in the DxOMark charts

Posted: 27 Jan 2020 07:57 AM PST

The Apple iPhone 11 Pro Max selfie camera placed in the Top 10 in DxOMark's charts, even if just barely. It's a solid 9 points up on its predecessor, the XS Max, and a point shy of matching the Pixel 4. The lens of the front-facing camera on the iPhone 11 family is wider than that of the XS phones, which helped. Also, the new SL 3D camera performs well when it comes to rendering bokeh in portrait shots. Where the camera falls short is noise and low-light performance. In fact, the low light tests is where the phone lost the most points. The iPhone 11 Pro Max is fairly unique as...

Now, a new report claims that the upcoming version of iOS will come to all the previously supported devices including the almost five-year-old iPhone 6s, the year younger iPhone SE and the 7th generation iPod touch. iOS 14 expected device list: iPhone 11 iPhone 11...

Posted: 27 Jan 2020 06:14 AM PST

The first Redmi smartwatch has received BIS certification in India. Or is it Redmi's first smart band? The main brand, Xiaomi, launched the Watch Color earlier this month and the Mi Band 5 is on the horizon. But there haven't been any Redmi-branded wrist-worn smart gadgets yet. BIS just calls the device a "smartwatch" (model number HMDH01GE). However, some Weibo users have picked apart the Mi Fit app and found the silhouette of a Redmi smart band. The band will feature heart rate tracking, NFC and music controls, base on info gleaned from the app. It will also have changeable watch...

Oppo's upcoming smartwatch tipped to have an ECG sensor

Posted: 27 Jan 2020 05:27 AM PST

Last month Oppo teased its first smartwatch, but said nothing about specs. Now leakster Digital Chat Station posted that the watch will feature an ECG sensor. The ElectroCardioGram (ECG) sensor detects electrical signals from your heart. With this, it can read your heart rate (beats per minute) and rhythm (regularity), it can even spot signs of atrial fibrillation. Optical heart rate sensors that are prevalent on smart watches and bands only measure heart rate (and occasionally SpO2). Apple was the first to introduce ECG capability on a smartwatch (with the Apple Watch Series 4),...

Nokia 9.2 PureView could be a return to Nokia 8 formula

Posted: 27 Jan 2020 04:35 AM PST

The Nokia 9 PureView was a flagship with high expectations that failed to deliver on multiple fronts. Arguably the biggest let down was the unreliable performance of the Light optical technology camera. Towards the beginning of the month, we heard some rumors about the Nokia 9's successor which will reportedly incorporate a Snapdragon 865 chipset and is expected to make its debut in the autumn. Now, we are getting yet another report about the device which is expected to come as the Nokia 9.2 PureView. According to the new leak, HMD will ditch the Light camera technology this time...

OnePlus details upcoming upgrades to cameras on current and future phones

Posted: 27 Jan 2020 02:01 AM PST

OnePlus held an "Open Ears Forum" in New York, basically a meet-up to hear out fans on their thoughts and ideas of how the company can improve current and future OnePlus products - this specific one focused on the video capture. After some consideration, the company published a to-do list. Its first priority is to make exposure, color and white balance consistent across the three cameras (main, ultra wide and tele). This will enable future changes like "lens feature-parity" - support 4K video on all three cams and enable switching between them during recording. Also, recording with two...

Top 10 trending phones of week 4

Posted: 26 Jan 2020 12:01 PM PST

MWC is just around the corner, which explains why we are getting little in terms of new phone announcements these days - everybody is holding off so they can bring their A-game to the industry's largest event. This means our trending chart is reasonably stable, save for the stir caused by a particularly exciting rumored phone. Like the Galaxy S20 Ultra, which even made the top last week on the back of a series of spicy leaks. It's down to third now, replaced in the lead by the Galaxy A51 and the Redmi Note 8 Pro. In fourth we have the non-Pro half of the Note 8 family, which has just...
