iPhone has been a hot topic in town recently. At the moment, there is already a leak for the Apple iPhone 11 with 6.4 inches, dual 20MP cam… Read for more details in our article!
iPhone 11: 6.4 inches, dual 20MP cam
The new design of Apple iPhone 11 gives off a futuristic vibe since this iPhone variant comes with the bezel-less screen. Moreover, the dual camera on the back becomes more elegant and modern in the center than on the right side. The face ID sensors are well hidden in the top part of this flagship. For the volume buttons, they become smaller than the previous iPhone X. Instead of a 5.8-inch screen of iPhone X, iPhone 11 has a 6.4-inch of display and a resolution of 1125 x 2436 pixels.
For OS, this iPhone probably no longer runs on iOS 11.1, this flagship might get iOS 12 for the operation. At this time, there is no information about the chipset for this beast, but we expect that this beast comes with Apple A11 Bionic chipset. When it comes to internal storage, this Apple iPhone flagship offers 128GB or 256GB ROM with 6GB RAM, better than the previous model. Regarding camera features, this flagship includes a dual 20MP cam for the rear and 7MP for selfies snapper.
Speaking of the energy box, Apple iPhone 11 battery is a non-removable Li-Ion 3000 mAh battery. This battery support longer time for usage than iPhone X with only 2716 mAh. The Face ID is still available in this version of iPhone since until the FaceID of Apple is claimed to be the highest security for smartphone users. Other various connectivity options are also available such as 3G, 4G, Wifi,…
Apple iPhone 11 release date and price
iPhone 11 is about to arrive in September 2018. For iPhone 11 price, it might start from $1200 (~ Rs.78,306). If you are a fan of Apple, this flagship is worth consideration because of good security, cameras as well as the internal storage.
It’s undoubtedly that Apple iPhone X’s Face ID is a better option than the fingerprint scanner. We know that the iPhone X unlocked can be done by your twin. But it turns out that your children can unlock its too. Check out the story of the Malik family’s discovery below!
iPhone X Face ID unlocked story: me, my twin and my children?
Notedly, Apple claims that the chance of a random person unlocking your iPhone X via Face ID is 1 in 1,000,000, compared to 1 in 50,000 for Touch ID. While this number may apply to a random person, your family members undoubtedly have a much higher chance of breaking through this security technology. This week, the iPhone community most discussed topic is the story of the Malik family’s iPhone X unlocked discovery.
They found out when 10-year old Ammar unlocked his mom’s iPhone X quickly without any issues. Moreover, he didn’t even need to use the trick including a 3D printed mask to get past Apple’s new biometric security. He has his mom’s genes and similar figures, what more does he need? Here, let’s watch a demo video below of Ammar unlocking his mom’s iPhone X to understand better:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEYkt6KtrXU
When Ammar’s mom sets up Face ID again (in good light this time), he can no longer access it. For now, the lesson here is that Apple iPhone X users need to be more careful when they set up Face ID first. Additionally, doing it indoor at night can mess with the accuracy (due to the lighting or camera sensor).
iPhone X unlocked story: we need a better face sensor?
For now, Apple is quite confident in their iPhone X’s Face ID security level. In our opinion, they need to invest in more improvement to prevent this situation. Suggested by “9to5mac.com“, Apple can develop the reliability of Face ID for people with similar-looking family members by offering an ‘advanced training mode’ in Face ID settings. What do you think about this situation? Let us know with a comment!

The release of iPhone X celebrates the 10th anniversary of iPhone, and is undoubtedly a beautiful and powerful device. However, it is famous of iPhone to cost a lot (up to $999). That’s why there are many other worthy iPhone X rivals with more affordable prices you can consider
The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 comes to our mind firstly, when talking about iPhone X rivals. For a start, it was released before the iPhone X, and got the chance to make its debut one step earlier. Granted, users still have to pay a staggering amount to dish out for one unit, but the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 also out-does the iPhone X on specs. It has a larger screen (6.3 inches vs. 5.8 inches), a microSD slot (which is always absent from an iPhone), and a superior front camera (8MP vs 7MP). It also comes with a stylus, and for the fashionable, has more color options.
The full Samsung Galaxy Note 8 specs make sure to impress even the pickiest user. This Samsung flagship sports a 6GB RAM instead of the 3GB RAM on iPhone X, together with powerful Exynos 8895 chipset. The phone is packed with 12MP camera on the back, and a decent 8MP on the front. Galaxy Note 8 is powered by a 3,300 mAH battery that supports fast-charge for your convenience. Display has always been one of the greats selling points for Samsung mobile. And this Note 8 offers a 6.3 inch Super AMOLED screen with Always-on mode for maximum enjoyment. Galaxy Note 8 price costs you a considerable 950$, but still 50$ cheaper than its rival.
2. OnePlus 5: a cheap and high-end device
The OnePlus 5 has a solid design which has evolved since the first member of the OnePlus line. While it has a slightly smaller screen (5.5 inches vs 5.8 inches) and lower resolution (401 ppi density vs. 458 ppi density), it beats the iPhone X in storage, with the possibility of getting either a 6GB or even 8GB RAM model. The OnePlus 5 also easily beats the iPhone X in price, starting at only $479. The only drawback here is the lack of waterproofing. However, for those not intending on taking their phones for a swim, it seems worth the price difference. Other OnePlus 5 specs include a dual 16MP on the rear, another 16MP for selfie, and a 3300 mAH battery.
3. Samsung Galaxy S8: one of the best handsets, one price bracket down.
The Samsung Galaxy S8 is one of the best handsets available in its price range, at $725. This still puts it in the higher price range of phones, without going as far as the iPhone X’s $999 price tag. The Samsung Galaxy S8 has the exact same screen size (5.8 inches), but with a slightly higher screen to body ratio and resolution). It also has more ram, with 4GB (instead of 3GB); although it only comes with 64GB internal memory, it can be expanded with a microSD slot (up to 256GB), and unlike the iPhone X you can choose a dual sim model. Another point to keep in mind is that the S8 comes with Gear VR.
4. Apple iPhone 7: one year older, still a solid contender.
The Apple iPhone 7 may not have that extra punch the iPhone X provides, but it’s still a solid older sibling to the Apple iPhone range. The iPhone 7’s processor speed is twice as fast as the iPhone 6’s, and its graphics speed is three times as fast as the iPhone 6’s. All the specs are slightly lower than the iPhone X’s, with 2GB ram instead of 3GB, and a 4.7 inch screen instead of a 5.8, however its cameras are both on similar levels (12MP primary camera and 7MP selfie camera). All of this of course means the iPhone 7 also comes in at a much lower price, almost half of the iPhone X at $549.
5. Apple iPhone SE: Staying in the Apple Ecosystem without breaking the bank
The Apple iPhone SE is still an amazing device, even after a year on the market. It goes back to the roots of the iPhone range with a manageable size departing from the phablet trend — meaning you can use it with one hand. It’s also available with up to 128GB storage space. While this phone is far from the specs of the iPhone X, it stays in the Apple ecosystem, an important aspect for users used to it. It also balances power, storage, an excellent set of cameras, and affordability: being the cheapest member of the iPhone family at $349, about a third of the price of the iPhone X.
5 strong rivals to the iPhone X: premium experience for cheaper price
The Apple iPhone X offers a premium experience without a doubt; some would even argue it is the best phone money can buy. However, it’s hard to justify that high a price tag for features that other phones are able to either match, or even top, at similar or lower prices. For those tempted by the iPhone X, these strong alternatives might be a better match for your needs.
Today, we are going to present to you a brand new concept design. This time, it is going to be a concept called Apple iPhone 5X. Check it out!
Apple iPhone 5X: Simply beautiful
When the Apple iPhone X craze hasn’t died out yet, there have been some speculations about what might the new iPhone look like. Therefore, on the Internet, there have been some concepts about this new flagship. Some of them are really cool and beautiful. Today, we are going to present to you one of the impressive design we found on the web. This design is called the Apple iPhone 5X, created by the Toucan Design.
The iPhone 5X name comes from the combination between iPhone 5 and the latest iPhone X. The design team has mixed all the highlight features of those two flagships to create this concept. It’s got a height and weight equal to the one of the iPhone 5, but it’s also 1 mm slimmer. This model has a full screen facade, while at the back sports the dual camera. We expect the resolution for this setup might reach to 16MP with f/1.8 and f/2.0 apertures for each lens. The volume keys are longer now, in keeping with the latest design trends.
Next, let’s discuss about what specifications might this phone sport. We think this handset is going to be similar to the Apple iPhone X specs. If that’s the case, the flagship is going to feature 3GB RAM and the latest Apple A11 Bionic chipset. However, it is going to have a better photography system and longer battery life. Moreover, the Apple device also runs the latest Apple iOS 11 for the operating system. Let’s not forget about the front camera. We expect the handset is going to carry an 8MP TrueDepth camera to activate the unique FaceID feature just like the iPhone X. Last but not least, this smartphone might come with two versions: 128GB ROM and 256GB ROM.
Apple iPhone 5X price and release date
We expect this Apple iPhone 5X price would be around $1000 (around Rs. 65000). Basing on the timeline of Apple products, the Apple iPhone 5X release date is going to be around September or October of 2018. Stay tuned for more updates from us.
Google – probably the most well-known company in the world – has made a deal with HTC to buy the smartphone department of the Taiwanese business. Perhaps the Google owners are repeating their move and motive with Motorola, but on HTC this time?
What are Google’s purposes for buying Motorola and HTC?
In April 2016, Google invited Rick Osterloh – former Motorola CEO – to join the team. Osterlo now leads the newly formed division as the hardware manager. Recently, Google has shown signs that it would follow the same strategy as Apple by developing both hardware and software comprehensively. Moreover, Google has decided to invest in the field of chip manufacturing to be able to compete with what Apple is applying to iPhone series. Apple does not need to rely on any third-parties like Qualcomm, and Google wants to do so too.
On September 21st, Google signed a contract to purchase a part of HTC for $ 1.1 billion after HTC shares ceased trading on the Taiwan stock market. This was Google’s latest move to improve its hardware distribution. Mr. Osterloh did say that hardware is the most important part of Google’s business strategy, so it will continue to invest and develop hardware “for a long time.” The recent acquisition of HTC is the strongest evidence. In particular, HTC was a producer for Pixel last year, and will probably be behind the “Pixel 2”.
Actually, it is not the first time Google has acquired a smartphone maker. In 2011, Google spent $12.5 billion to own Motorola, but eventually sold to Lenovo for $2.91 billion three years later. In those three years, Google had to sell out many of its Motorola subsidiaries because they were not economically effective. After that, however, Google still considered its Motorola deal as “successful” since it retained a lot of Motorola patents. Therefore, buying HTC might be another way for Google to lay hands on the HTC’s intelligence properties.
Google’s motive revealed through Motorola and HTC’s deals
In conclusion, we think it’s not hard to see what the ambitious Google company is doing for its dream of dominating the smartphone market. As long as these deals bring benefits to Motorola, HTC, Google, and users, why not? Do you agree with us?
We just learned some news saying ZTE Company is working on the ZTE Axon M – its first foldable phone and is likely to introduce this product before this year ends. Keep reading to see if this ZTE device has anything interesting!
ZTE Axon M Foldable: Dual-screen beast to replace laptops?
ZTE could be the next game-changer, after Apple, for pioneering in producing foldable smartphones. Perhaps you have heard of other foldable phones announced by Nokia or Samsung. However, ZTE Company seems to be the first company to release it. In fact, the bendable display has been a hot topic for years. However, we still haven’t been able to see it on any current smartphones yet. And this time ZTE Company can make what is only in our dreams become true by launching a foldable smartphone with the dual-screen that could set a new definition for mobile phones nowadays.
More about the new ZTE foldable phone, it has the codename of “Axon Multy,” or Axon M. ZTE has sent out invites for a company’s launch event on October 17, and this Axon M handset is said to be introduced on this occasion.

In its folded form, the ZTE Axon M device looks the same as any regular smartphone.
With this foldable Axon M, ZTE could create a different smartphone experience. The Axon M proves the chances of smartphone replacing laptops and PCs are becoming true. Because more and more people want large screen phones, the Axon M phone can break the gap between tablets and smartphones, which means saving more time and money.
ZTE Axon M release date and price
ZTE has announced a press conference on October 17, and we predict that the Axon M will play the role of the star in the show. For the ZTE Axon M price, since this phone is a one-of-a-kind product, it’s hard to define the cost. We should wait a bit more to know better about this ZTE foldable phone!
