Samsung Galaxy A9 Review – Dual Cameras and Triple Cameras are cool but quad cameras in Smartphone That is a reality now. Samsung has unleashed a new Galaxy A9 with the total of 5 Cameras. Four on the back and lonely one on the front. Well, take a quick look at the new Galaxy A9.

So here is a New Galaxy A9 world’s First smartphone having quad camera setup on the back. The Four Camera you can see are vertically stacked with LED Flash window. I am pretty sure this will get a lot of attention. what do these four Cameras on Samsung Galaxy A9 Offer?

Samsung Galaxy A9 (2018) Hands-on review

Well Let me talk Galaxy A9 Specs First, The Main Camera here of 24 MP f/1.7 Camera Sensor which is said to take sharp daytime photos and bright low light Photos. Then There is a 10MP f/2.4 Telephoto Lens which brings 2x optical zoom to Galaxy A9. There is also an 8 MP f/2.4 wide-angle lens that brings a 120-degree field of view so you can go wide area in your shots. The Quad camera setup is complete by 5MP f/2.2 Depth Sensor for great portrait mode shots.

It is basically the Samsung Galaxy A7’s triple Camera Setup with Telephoto lens. Thus Using all of these different camera lenses in the Samsung Galaxy A9 is pretty easy. You can toggle in the Camera and you can quickly switch between Main camera and wide angle or get the 2x optical zoom and there is live focus mode that uses the depth camera for Portrait mode shots.

The Galaxy A9 Shoots the video in 4K with 30fps but there is IES here that clicks only in 1080p. On the Front is the lonely 24 MP selfie Camera that seems pretty capable as well. So highlights of the Samsung Galaxy A9 is obviously the camera unlike most end smartphones there are a ton camera features here.

Anyway moving on cameras to another standout in the Galaxy A9 – The Design.

Samsung Galaxy A9 (2018) Design – The Galaxy A9 is a beautiful smartphone with glass back and metal frame and I like the color especially the blue and pink variant which looks gorgeous. I mean the galaxy a9 might not be a flagship but it definitely got the looks for it.

The Front looks too pretty good with 6.3 super AMOLED display that looks stunning as with more super AMOLED display in high-end Samsung phones the galaxy A9 display is just beautiful even it is not good as Galaxy S9 or Not9. Unlike the A7 you get the usual fingerprint scanner on the back. there is no fingerprint scanner in the power button so that’s insane.

So Samsung Galaxy A9 is a premium looking smartphone with all the basics in the tag but you look under the hood Galaxy A9 is a midranger.

Poco F1 unveiled – The cheapest Snapdragon 845 smartphone…

October 15, 2018October 15, 2018
by ParkyPrakhar

Xiaomi has always offered smartphones with features better than their price tag. And Pocophone – Xiaomi’s sub-brand – seems to follow the footsteps. Pocophone today unveiled their first ever smartphone (named Poco F1) at an event in New Delhi. This could well be a knock-out punch for other smartphones in the same price bracket.

Pocophone Poco F1 features

Build Quality

The design language of Poco F1 isn’t something new or something out of the box. We have seen the design before and it resembles that of Xiaomi Mi 8 on the front. The only difference being in the rear. The Poco F1 doesn’t sport a glass back in favor of a plastic build. This might not be one of the prettiest smartphones you’ve seen but it gets the job done.

Display and the Notch

The Poco F1 features a 5.99 inch Full HD+ IPS LCD 2.5D curved glass display. Not to forget, it features a notch too. But if you don’t like this controversial ‘feature’ you can disable it in the settings menu. The screen features a 19:9 aspect ratio and a resolution of 2160×1080 pixels.

Coming back to the notch, it not only houses the earpiece and front camera but sensors and hardware for IR Face Unlocking. The facial recognition system is similar to the one seen on Xiaomi Mi 8. Namely, the notch contains –

Infrared lens
Infrared lighting
Earpiece
Proximity sensor
20MP front camera

What lies underneath is something to take note of

Underneath that plastic build of Poco F1 lies a flagship level smartphone. As revealed by recent teasers and as you might have read in the title, it houses a Snapdragon 845 processor and comes with up to 8GB of RAM + 256 gigs of onboard storage. All of it is powered by a massive 4000Mah of battery!

Software

“Pocophone is a Xiaomi sub-brand so it should come with MIUI” Well, not necessarily. The Poco F1 has its own Poco launcher (which will be available on the Google PlayStore in the upcoming weeks). It resembles Xiaomi MIUI but has a one very notable and welcome difference. The Poco launcher has an app drawer as opposed to MIUI.

On the similarity front, the Poco launcher has a ton of customization options few of them being – hidden apps, group icons by color, and support for third-party icons.

Pocophone has promised that the Poco F1 will receive Android Pie in Q4. Plus, they have said to push out security updates every four months.

Cameras

The Poco F1 features a dual camera setup on the rear which sports a 12MP + 5MP camera setup. It is placed vertically just above the fingerprint sensor. On the front sits a 20MP selfie shooter in the notch. It includes AI camera features and recognition of 206 scenes over 25 categories. Plus, you can shoot portrait mode selfies too.

Dual sim iPhone is coming soon but only to…

by ParkyPrakhar

iPhone X sales have depreciated in the past couple of months. But that couldn’t stop Apple from becoming the world’s first $1 trillion private company. Now, Apple is all set to launch its 2018 iPhone lineup this fall. Unsurprisingly, the rumors have already started to pour in, telling us that we will get to see a trio of iPhones this year. And yes, this includes a Dual sim iPhone.

The three iPhones are said to have a 6.1-inch, 6.5-inch and 5.8-inch display each. While the 5.8 and 6.5 inchers are supposedly OLED models, the 6.1 incher iPhone will sport an LCD screen. And, according to the new reports, one of these iPhones could be dual-sim enabled!

Yes, you read that right. As per a report in Taiwan’s United Daily News, the dual sim iPhone (6.1-inch LCD variant) is on its way. This might be a much-awaited welcome for most of the Indian Apple users. But, it is important to note that this iPhone variant will be exclusive to just one market.

A Dual sim iPhone is coming soon…but

Many would have expected that ‘one market’ to be India. But it is not. The dual sim iPhone is not coming to India. The report goes on to say that it will be a Chinese-exclusive variant. The dual-sim functionality came into lights when people noticed the references to “second SIM status” and a “second SIM tray status” in iOS 12 beta 5’s list of new features.

The report says that the iPhones currently in production have 4 separate “codes”. The three codes could be for three display sizes and the fourth one could be for the 6.1-inch dual-sim variant. Although the report states that the dual-sim iPhone will be exclusive to China, there are high chances that it will, eventually, make its way to the Indian market.

Confirmed: These smartphones will get Android Pie

October 15, 2018October 15, 2018
by ParkyPrakhar

Google’s latest Android version, called the Android Pie came out a few days ago. This was the first time that Google allowed phones other than Nexus and Pixel series to run the beta version of its latest offering. Hopefully, this means that Android Pie will be served to a wider audience than Android Oreo.

We are sure you must be wondering if your daily driver will get the update or not. Therefore, we have compiled a list of smartphones from all the major manufacturers which will get updated to Android Pie. Read further to give your doubts a rest. Here are the confirmed phones which will get the taste of Pie.

Google – Always the first to get served

Google released the Android Pie update by giving OTA updates to the Pixel users. While the Pixel 3 should come with the latest flavor out of the box, here are the devices which currently support Android Pie –

Pixel 2 XL
Pixel 2
Pixel XL
Pixel

Unsurprisingly, the last of Nexus devices – the 6P – is not included in the list. But if you own a Nexus 6P, don’t worry. The developers are on it and your device should get the update soon (unofficially).

Nokia – No discrimination

There are a very few manufacturers left who roll out updates for their smartphones irrespective of their price tag. And, Nokia is one of them. They have been pretty good with updates since their comeback. Even right now, all the Nokia smartphones in circulation either run on Android Oreo or come ready to be updated to it out of the box.

Nokia 8 Sirocco

OnePlus – A welcome surprise for the old users

OnePlus was part of one of the few brands that participated in the beta roll-out of Android Pie. They did it with the OnePlus 6. While devices from last year were expected to get the update, OnePlus announced a few weeks ago that it will skip the Android 8.1 update on the older models for the sake of Android Pie. The OnePlus smartphones will get the latest version of Android –

OnePlus 6
OnePlus 5T
OnePlus 5
OnePlus 3T
OnePlus 3

This is a welcome surprise for the OP 3 and 3T users as they have already received two major updates in the past.

Sony – Still trying to get back in the game

Looking at the shape of Sony right now in the market, one might have expected it to bring the Android Pie update to its latest generation of smartphones. Tough competition in each price segment has restricted Sony from gaining momentum in the past couple of years. But this has not stopped it from bringing the latest update to its new smartphones –

Xperia XZ2 Premium
Xperia XZ2 Compact
Xperia XZ2
Xperia XZ1 Compact
Xperia XZ1
Xperia XZ Premium

Samsung – Hey guys, we are working hard to bring Android Oreo

In case you are a Samsung user, you might have as well not bothered to come here. Samsung does not believe in rolling out incremental Android updates to its smartphones. Instead, updating the hardware specifications seems to be easier for them. That is why you’ll see a new-gen model being launched before providing the update to the previous-gen device. Typical Samsung.

We are not too hopeful about the Android Pie update for Samsung smartphones as their last year’s flagship, Galaxy S8 received Android Oreo a couple of months ago. There is still a long list of devices waiting to get the taste of Oreo!

Xiaomi – Android One is what we got

Xiaomi believes in customizing the Android versions with their MIUI ROM (Priorities!). Hence, consuming a lot of time before pushing out the actual update. The latest version of MIUI has its own pros and cons. While it may provide a lot of features already, using the framework for Android Pie is still a task on their to-do list.

Nevertheless, since Xiaomi has introduced Android One smartphones, there’s a list of Xiaomi phones getting updated to Android Pie –

Mi A2
Mi A2 Lite
Mi A1
Mi MIX 2S

Huawei/Honor

Huawei and Honor have an unimpressive track record when it comes to providing the latest updates. Just like Xiaomi, Huawei too likes to dedicate more time to blend the actual Android experience with its own skin. Some like it, others hate it. But it is what it is. Still, there are some of the phones which are ready to receive the Android Pie update –

Huawei P20 Pro
Huawei Mate 10 Pro
Honor 10
Honor View 10 (Honor V10)

Asus – Finally getting a rhythm

Despite facing issues with its phones in the past few years, Asus didn’t give up. And now they are looking solid with their new devices. Thanks to popular devices like the ZenFone Max Pro M1 and the flagship 5Z, Asus has been able to make a comeback. It offers a near stock-like experience with these new devices. Hence, making them a new favorite amongst smartphone enthusiasts. These Asus smartphones will get the Android Pie update –

Zenfone 5Z
Zenfone 5
Zenfone Max Pro M1

Motorola – Gone are good old times

Gone are days when Motorola used t o be the second in line – just after Google – to roll out the latest Android updates. Although they have kept a vanilla Android experience on their phones, updates haven’t followed as quick as they should have had. However, Motorola has prmised to begin working on the Android Pie update shortly.

They haven’t yet released a list of smartphones which will taste the Pie. But these smartphones are expected to get the update –

Moto G6, Moto G6 Play, and Moto G6 Plus
Moto Z3, and Moto Z3 Play

Oppo and Vivo – Only one device confirmed to receive Android Pie yet

Both Oppo and Vivo have had an amazing year till now. With innovations like underglass fingerprint scanner and slider cameras, they have made their mark for the future of smartphone design. They have gained a lot of attention lately, thanks to their respective gorgeous looking flagship models.

But we are yet to confirm as to which of their devices will get the Android Pie update. While Oppo has promised the update for the Oppo R15 Pro, Vivo was already a part of Android Pie beta testing with the Vivo X21 UD.

So these were all the smartphones that have been confirmed to receive Android Pie update till now.

Was your phone on the list? If not, will you be flashing a new unofficial ROM or will you bother buying a new device? Do let us know in the comments below.
