Redmi 7 with 48 MP camera arriving on January 10

We've been hearing about new Xiaomi phones for quite some time and the rumors are finally becoming a reality. The company is releasing the Redmi 7 series on January 10 with a 48 MP camera. The teaser appeared both on the official website of Xiaomi and on the Redmi account on Weibo. It also says "new independent brand", meaning Redmi is taking the Honor and Realme way and becoming a brand of its own, while still sharing most of the R&D facilities and manufacturing plants as the mother company. Do you see the 4800? We can see the shadow of the "Redmi" sign says 4800, which is...

FCC greenlights Google project for touch-free motion sensor

FCC has approved Google to test a new radar motion sensor technology, Android Authority revealed earlier today. It is called Project Soli and can allow users to operate devices without actually touching anything via radar signals. The technology is quite different from what Samsung introduced back in 2013 with the Galaxy S4 and the gestures over the screen. Back then, the Korean company implemented camera sensors, while now Google is working on radar sensitivity that reads all kinds of hand gestures in the air. The reason for FCC to approve the test of such technology is using...

Huawei patent reveals a case for the Mate 30 Pro with a larger camera window

Perhaps it is still too early for Mate 30 news. After all, the Mate 20 Pro was announced just this past October so we won't expect it to be released at least until next fall. But since we're on the topic of it, a new report surfaced with renders of a case for a smartphone that Huawei has patented. This case was patented by Huawei with the CNIPA (China National Intellectual Property Administration) and the published renders first became public on January 1 (first reported by Mobielkopen). It is believed this case isn't for the upcoming P-series flagship that Huawei usually...

Apple finally acknowledges lower-than-expected iPhone sales

Today, Apple released an open letter to investors revising its guidance for Q1 of this year. The "guidance" is the information a company provides as a way to predict its future earnings.

Essentially, Apple is lowering its guidance (expected revenue) for the first quarter of 2019 from (previously) between $89 billion and $93 billion down to $84 billion. This is compared to Apple's reported $88.3 billion in revenue for Q1 of 2018. The full letter can be found at the Source link below but here is the key...

LG patents a smart watch with a camera

The consensus ever since the first Samsung Gear was that a smart watch didn't need a built-in camera. We know this because Samsung never put a camera in any other wearable after the first Samsung Gear. To be fair, some kids smart watches have cameras but we're talking about the mass market consumer. Interestingly, this notion could change in the not-so-distant future from LG's point of view. LetsGoDigital reported about a patent that was filed with the USTPO (United States Trademark and Patent Office) by LG for a ‘smart watch and method for controlling same' as the patent is titled. What's...
