The latest update to the iOS system is already in development at Apple’s headquarters in California. Let’s see what iOS 12 new software version has to offer!

The new and improved iOS 12

New iOS 12 release date rumours put the developer beta in less than two months. Thus, making it the next big update for your iPhone and iPad now that iOS 11.3 is out. The new software features, however, are always filled with some unexpected and exciting news. We anticipate groundbreaking ideas, but also a healthy dose fixes given our many ongoing iOS 11 problems. According to our source, iOS 12 is going to focus heavily on bug fixes and refinements to the underlying code, addressing performance and quality issues.

Users could even remove features. With all the analytics that Apple collects from its iPhone and iPad users, we’d be amazed if there isn’t a subset of functionality that nobody uses. Several other features have been rumoured for the iOS 12 update, such as the following: a redesigned Stocks app; deeper Siri integration in Photos for search purposes. An enhanced version of Do Not Disturb that will offer users more options to reject calls automatically and so on.

Bonus fact: Apple decided to delay several features that they initially planned for iOS 12 to focus more effort on under-the-hood fixes and improvements. Instead perhaps delaying these features for a year and introducing them in the next iOS 13. Features cut include the following: redesigned Home screen, revamped Photos app able to suggest images to view. Multiple windows for a single app on iPad, with a tab view and a Mail feature for muting notifications from specific threads.

iOS 12 release date

For the past four years, Apple has announced iOS to the public in the second week of September, either on Tuesday or Wednesday. So expect the new iOS 12 to release on Tuesday 18 September 2018.

Good news for the Indian market: Huawei now releases the teaser for the launch of their triple camera beast Huawei P20 Pro in India. The official company’s Twitter account for Huawei India posted a promotion along with the hashtag #HuaweiP20. Take a look!

Get ready for the launch of triple-cam beast Huawei P20 Pro in India!

On March 27, Huawei launched the duo Huawei P20 & P20 Pro at an event in Paris. The smartphones subsequently listed on Huawei India’s official website but, there was no confirmation about their debut in India. Now, Huawei India has posted a sneak peek on Twitter which hints at the release of the sibling P20 & P20 Pro in India. The Huawei P20 Pro, months before its official launch, started gaining attention for its quality camera implementation. The launch confirmed that the P20 Pro equips with a triple-camera setup on the back.

Moreover, the smartphone has a 6.1 inch OLED display with a 2280 x 1080 px resolution. Under the hood, P20 Pro runs the HiSilicon Kirin 970 Octa-core chipset with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage. It also has a notch on the top portion of the display. Powering the smartphone is a 4000 mAh battery with SuperCharge technology. The smartphone, however, misses out on wireless charging despite its all-glass build. Check out more information about Huawei P20 pro specs here. This will be the first proper Huawei phone to debut in India after a long time, so we will wait and see how the customers respond.

Firstly, Huawei P20 specs include a notched 5.8-inch LTPS IPS LCD with the resolution of 2240 x 1080 pixels. Furthermore, Huawei P20 Pro specs have a slightly larger screen of 6.1-inch AMOLED (1080 x 2240 pixels). Under the hood, these phones are going to take power from a Kirin 970 chipset. Regarding the storage, the P20 has 4GB RAM and 128GB storage. Besides, the Huawei P20 Pro offers 6GB RAM and 128GB ROM. Both variants are coming with a microSD which can expand up to 256GB. Furthermore, There is EMUI 8.1 together with the latest Android Oreo operating system. Lastly, Huawei P20 battery box has 3,340 mAh capacity and supports quick top-ups via Huawei’s SuperCharge technology. Meanwhile, Huawei P20 comes with a 4000mAh juice box.

Huawei P20 Pro release date and price in India

So far, there is no announcement on when the company expects to launch the phones. But according to our sources, Huawei is aiming at the last week of April for the release time. As for the cost, we don’t have any notice yet on that either. However, base on the fact that India is no stranger to expensive phones (the iPhone X costs more than some cars), we think it will have a similar price in Europe ~ 650 euro ($800).

Based on the latest updates, ZTE just hinted about its upcoming ZTE Iceberg with the world’s first ZTE flagship with dual-notch design and substantial 6GB RAM under the hood. However, today we come up with a slightly different plan from what previously leaked. Check it out!

Upcoming ZTE flagship specs

Last week, we witnessed a dual notch smartphone from ZTE. However, we received a different idea regarding forthcoming ZTE flagship from our sources. From the case, the new design has been rendered by Viktor Frohnapfel, a designer who already sketched his dual notch smartphone. Unfortunately, the model does not hint so much about the back of the device. However, the handset runs pure Android as we see from the front screen.

On the one hand, the handset has a notch at the top with the front camera, earpiece and sensors. On the other hand, the highly expected notch at the bottom includes the fingerprint scanner and the Home button. Whereas, these notches do not waste any screen estate since the two notches have been minimalised and those areas were not in use anyway. Besides, the bottom one featured the virtual button for navigation, while the top one was the empty screen.

Previously, we have heard about the ZTE Iceberg with first-ever dual notches. However, we are not sure that the upcoming ZTE device would be the same smartphone that we see today. Regarding ZTE Iceberg specs, the device rocks a 5.99-inch AMOLED display with QHD resolutions of 2560 x 1440 pixels. Moreover, the phone also has wireless charging to come along with its 3400mAh battery box. Furthermore, ZTE Iceberg camera includes dual 16MP primary sensors and another 12MP selfie lens with LED Flash. Also, the handset expects to sport Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 chipset and Android Oreo 8.0. Whereas, the device would start with 6GB RAM and 128GB ROM (expand to 256GB).

Upcoming ZTE flagship release date and price

If the source is legit, the ZTE Iceberg is coming soon around the second half of this year. In the meantime, ZTE flagship price starts at $749 ~ Rs. 48636. Hope that we will see the first dual-notch device to come out soon this year. Do you like the idea of this smartphone? Let us know in the comments while keep updated!
