Mi Mix- Xiaomi's bezel-less smartphone!

There are always a few surprises present at Xiaomi's event, but this time around it was rather sweet one. After announcing its flagship Mi Note 2, Xiaomi unveiled its concept phone- Mi Mix, which features an 6.4 inch "edgeless" display, with an unheard screen to body ratio of 91.3 percent.This might also be the first concept phone to be available in the market ,albeit in limited numbers and only in China. This kind of design means Xiaomi had to replace the usual ear-piece with a cantilevered piezoelectric actuator to produce audible sound for voice calls. There is also an ultrasonic proximity sensor instead of an regular one.

The "rest of the phone" also goes toe to toe with the likes of Apple and Samsung. It features a gorgeous ceramic build designed by famed French designer Philippe Starck. It is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 processor clocked at 2.35GHz,  with upto 6GB of  RAM, 128GB or 256GB of storage, a 4,400mAh battery with Quick Charge 3.0 support, a fingerprint scanner, a 16-megapixel primary camera and a custom-made 5-megapixel selfie camera which features half the sensor size as normal cameras. The Mi Mix will be released on November 4th starting under RMB3499 or US $515 for 4GB+128GB variant and going upto RMB3999 or US $590 for 6GB+256GB variant.

The smartphone market is becoming more and more boring as the time passes, and hence it is refreshing to see a company like Xiaomi trying something new, as it opens the door for similar high end devices from other OEMs

After a month full of leaks and rumours,the flagship twins from Samsung finally arrive.Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 edge are not a huge improvement over their predecessors in terms of their design language.Samsung is taking the "why fix it if it ain't broke" approach as the design on the previous S series phones were pretty good.Other than that,Samsung has made a few incremental improvements in cameras and of course,the performance along with bringing back some of the popular features.

Google sides US and bans Huawei

Google has just released a statement that they will be banning Huawei's license to use Android immediately as it must compile to US Laws. This is a hugh blow to the Chinese smartphone maker which has already become the 3rd largest smartphone maker in the world, on the back of some solid smartphones.  Speaking to  Reuters , a Google spokesperson confirmed that “Google Play and the security protections from Google Play Protect will continue to function on existing Huawei devices.” This means while the current smartphones should receive updates, the future is surely uncertain for Huawei. The decision might leave Huawei to choose Open source version of Android, called AOSP for its devices which is devoid of any google sevices and which usually recieves the security updates much later than Android. Huawei might also contemplate launching its own OS, incase matters get worse.  It is very sad to see politics getting involved in tech industry. Other famed compa...

Some people may look at it as just another Chinese company trying to make inroads in India but, to be frank LeEco is slightly different as it is one of the first or maybe only Chinese company to follow the concept of creating an ecosystem of products called-Le Ecosystem(hence,the name change). Now coming to the smartphone i.e the Le 1s,company seems to have created quite a good product to performance ratio with its Inr 10,999 price tag,here in India. So,let's find out if it is any good. Build & Design As far as build goes I can quite easily say that it's one of the first smartphones in India to sport a metallic unibody build at a budget price. Yes,now there are phones like the Huawei honor 5x and the Redmi Note 3 but this one seems to be the best as far as build goes. In design department,LeEco further stamps its authority with a symmetrically d...
