This is all very timely, as prolific tipster Evan Blass has tipped the exact same date for the launch of the HTC U11 EYEs, and leaked images, price, and specifications of the smartphone, formerly rumoured as the HTC Harmony.

Accoding to Blass (aka @evleaks), the HTC U11 EYEs will launch on January 15 with a price tag of CNY 3,299 (roughly Rs. 32,400). The photos he has leaked photos also reveal a dual selfie camera setup on the U11 EYEs.

The U11 EYEs is said to sport a 6-inch full-HD+ (1080x2160 pixels) Super LCD3 display with a possible aspect ratio of 18:9. It is said to be powered by an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 652 SoC, coupled with 4GB RAM. The tweet also suggests this phone will have 64GB of inbuilt storage expandable via microSD card.

Apart from that, the HTC U11 EYEs (Harmony) is said to run Edge Sense based on Android Nougat. It will have a USB Type-C port, and a 3930mAh battery under the hood. From the leaked shots, we can see that the phone will sport a single camera on the back, with a fingerprint sensor dimple placed just below it.

Samsung Galaxy S9 Retail Box Leaked
While the tech world is looking forward to the Galaxy S9 launch at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2018, an image showing an alleged retail box of Samsung Galaxy S9 has emerged online to detail some of the key features of the upcoming flagship. The box shows the presence of a 'Super Speed' camera on the upcoming Galaxy model alongside revealing stereo speakers tuned by AKG. Previously, Samsung bundled AKG-tuned earbuds with the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ to deliver an enhanced audio experience.

The image, which has surfaced on Reddit, details various key specifications of the Galaxy S9. It shows that the handset will come with a 5.8-inch QHD+ Super AMOLED display with rounded corners, similar to the last year's Galaxy S8. The box also mentions an 8-megapixel AF selfie camera, IP68-certified water- and dust-resistant build, Iris scanner, 4GB RAM, 64GB onboard storage, and wireless charging support. Having said that, what's the most noticeable mentioning on the box is the Super Speed technology that accompanies a Dual Pixel 12-megapixel camera sensor. The new camera tech will also enable the smartphone to offer a 'Super Slow-mo' mode.





Alongside the Super Speed technology, the leaked image shows that the Galaxy S9 camera will come with optical image stabilisation (OIS) and have two different aperture sizes - f/1.5 and f/2.4. The new aperture duo would enable the smartphone to deliver enhanced shots even under low-lighting environments.

The box also specifies that the Samsung Galaxy S9 will include stereo speakers tuned by AKG as well as AKG-tuned earphones. It is yet to be revealed whether the smartphone would have two front-firing speaker modules, similar to the Pixel 2 XL, or one bottom speaker and one hidden under the front-facing earpiece, just like the iPhone 7 or iPhone 8 models.

Notably, the box appeared in the image matches the one that comes with the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+. We can't comment on its authenticity, though.





As Samsung's Mobile Communications Business President DJ Koh at a CES press conference confirmed, the next Galaxy S-Series flagship will debut at MWC 2018 next month. The new flagship, being the successor to the Galaxy S8, is expected to come in two variants - the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+. Some early reports have claimed that the Galaxy S9 family will come with an improved iris scanner and enhanced Infinity Display panels. A recent Geekbench listing highlighted that both the new smartphones will have an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 SoC and run Android 8.0 Oreo out-of-the-box. Moreover, the global versions of the new Galaxy S9 models are expected to have an Exynos 9810 SoC that was unveiled earlier this month with artificial intelligence (AI) features and better face recognition capabilities.

Between the two, the Galaxy S9+ is rumoured to have 6GB of RAM and up to 512GB of storage. The company is also said to add a dual camera setup to the bigger variant in the new Galaxy S family that is also likely to come with the spotted Super Speed technology.

CES 2018: LG V30 in ‘Raspberry Rose’ to be showcased later this week

LG V30 Raspberry Rose
LG is releasing a new colour of its V30: Raspberry Rose. The announcement was made ahead of the annual Consumer Electronics Show (CES). which kicks off in Las Vegas later this week. The South Korean major says the new colour variant of the V30 will be first made available in Korea, followed by Europe and Asia.

LG describes the “Raspberry Rose”, as an intense saturated version of red. Targeted at fashion-conscious users, LG is pitching the new colour variant as an ideal Valentine’s Day gift. Other than the colour, the Raspberry Rose V30 variant looks exactly the same as the original V30 smartphone which was announced way back in August.

The  Raspberry Rose V30 isn’t new, in terms of specifications. It still has got a 6-inch P-OLED  (2880 x 1440) 18:9 display,  a Snapdragon 835 processor,  4GB RAM, 64GB of expandable storage, and a 3300mAh non-removable battery.  The flagship phone comes with a 16MP rear camera with an aperture of f/1.6. The main camera is a wide-angle one, but unlike most other dual-camera smartphones, the 13MP secondary camera is a super-wide, not a telephoto zoom. The front camera is a 5MP one. The smartphone runs on Android 7.1 Nougat out of the box.

LG V30 is IP68 rated, meaning it’s dust and water resistance to a depth of  1.5 meters for up to 30 minutes. LG has also enhanced audio experience on the V30, thanks to a Hi-Fi Quad DAC (Digital-to-analog converter) and auto tuning by B&O Play. In India, however, LG is selling the V30+ and not the regular version of the V30. The big difference between the LG V30+ and V30 is the included storage. While the LG V30 has 64GB storage, the V30+ features 128GB of native storage. LG  V30+ can be purchased for Rs 44,990, making it slightly lower priced compared to the competition.by:indianexpress.com
