One Plus 8 Pro – 2020 Bestseller?

One Plus recently released their first ever flagship phone One Plus 8 Pro. Could it be the best selling smartphone of 2020?

Review Courtesy: MKBHD

First Crush Verdict

OnePlus 8 Pro delivers a big and beautiful 120Hz display, fast performance and the fastest wireless charging ever in a stunning design but the cameras and 5G could be better.

OnePlus 8 Pro is their first true flagship phone from its premium craftsmanship and eye-popping 6.78-inch display (with 120Hz refresh rate) to its quad camera setup and 5G capability. The OnePlus 8 Pro also offers wireless charging — finally! Its one of the fastest wireless charging around but with a catch, you have to buy an additional 70$ wireless charger from One Plus to get fast wireless charging.

What Could be Better?

The otherwise stunning curved display led to several accidental taps. And while the OnePlus 8 Pro’s cameras are certainly capable, they’re not best in class.

iOS Dark Mode

iOS 13 long awaited “dark mode” was revealed at WWDC which turns the user interface into white text on a black background & we must say it simple looks gorgeous with the true tone retina HD display from Apple

Apple Social Login

Apple also introduced a new Apple social login, which works in a similar way to that used by Google and Facebook but “without all the tracking”. Users can hide their email addresses from apps, using Apple’s random email address generator, which creates unique addresses that forward emails to your real address.

The developer beta of iOS 13 is available now, with a public beta available in July. A final release is expected in the autumn.

iPad Finally Desktop Class

Apple has now introduced a new iPad OS dedicated to harness the true power of iPads.

Flash drive and memory card support has been finally added to the Files app, as well as direct camera import into apps such as Adobe’s Lightroom.
Apple is also adding desktop-class browsing to Safari on the iPad, which automatically sizes true desktop sites to the screen and makes them touch-friendly, instead of sticking users with a blown-up mobile site.

Immediate changes are tighter home screen app grids, the ability to pin widgets on the home screen, and new copy and paste gestures – three-finger pinch to copy, spread to paste and swipe to undo.

Most of the changes are to make the iPad more like a desktop computer, particularly Apple’s large iPad Pro. The app expose function is now on the iPad, similar to the Mac, multi-window compatibility has been enabled for placing two Word documents or similar side-by-side, and multiple slide-over apps can be stacked and switched between via swipes. There are also 30 new keyboard shortcuts. iPad can also be used as a dual monitor for your Mac which sounds uber cool.

The developer beta of iPad OS is available now, with a public beta available in July. A final release is expected in the autumn.

Fans have been trolling Apple for the 999$ Monitor Stand, Pricey Apple Game at it as always 😉

One Plus 6T Launched – Best Value for Money

One Plus 6T has a Tear Drop Notch alongwith an in-glass fingerprint sensor. Priceless!

3.5mm headphone jack makes room for a larger battery, while the absentee LED allows for a smaller notch at the top of the display.

OnePlus has built the fingerprint reader directly into the display of the OnePlus 6T — which is already a familiar feature in China, but not something that will have been experienced in the US before. Also atypical for the American market is OnePlus’ pricing, which starts at $549 for a sizable 128GB of storage and 6GB of RAM, making the OnePlus 6T the most affordable flagship you can get.

Google Pixel3 XL | Best Camera Smartphone

This might be the phone of the year, looks superb! We are now just a day away from the Google Pixel3 launch but leaks have already surfaced. Could this be a marketing trick? #CatchItFirst

We are now just a day away from the Google Pixel3 launch but leaks have already surfaced. Could this be a marketing trick?

According to the leak by Front Page Tech’s Jon Prosser Pixel3 will include a camera feature called “Top Shot” that captures photos of people at the exact right moment.

Google Pixel marketing video shows several new features that may be coming to the Pixel3.Video shows familiar Pixel navigational elements — swiping down for notifications and squeezing the sides to launch Google Assistant — and new ones, like long-pressing the power button to take a screenshot. And there are other new tricks: someone uses the Pixel’s camera to recognize and draft an email from a business card. Another instance shows the phone recognizing a restaurant name in an email, and offers the option to make a reservation.

Traditionally, the Pixel and Pixel XL have been nearly identical — except for the size difference. That may change this time around.

Google is rumored to have bestowed the Pixel 3 XL with an iPhone-like notch to accommodate an updated camera system. The first leaked photos gave us our first look at the larger model, after which an anonymous Reddit user delivered purported images of the smaller Pixel 3, via 9to5Google. And now we have a pic of what leaker Evan Blass says is both handsets, side-by-side.

Featuring iPhone XS | iPhone XS Max | iPhone XR

Apple just released the new iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max & iPhone XR. Worth your kidneys? iPhone XS starts at 999$, iPhone XS Max 1099$ & iPhone XR 749$ in US.

Apple just announced the iPhone XS and XS Max. They’re iterations on last year’s iPhone X, but the XS Max at least stands out in one very notable way: it’s so much larger. The Max has a 6.5-inch screen, making it a bigger phone than even the latest model in Samsung’s famously large Galaxy Note line.

Both phones have identical specs aside from their screens. They use Apple’s new A12 Bionic processor, which is supposed to be 15 percent faster than the A11, have improved water resistance that’s supposed to let them stay submerged in two meters of water for up to 30 minutes, and have support for two SIMs and gigabit LTE. The rear cameras have each seen improvements to make them faster (larger pixels on the wide-angle lens, a wider aperture on the telephoto lens), and the selfie camera is supposed to be faster as well (though not for any immediate spec-related reason).

More than anything else, the most impressive tech demo this year is the new portrait mode feature, which allows you to adjust the bokeh after the shoot. It’s just fun to slide the dial left and right to get the exact right amount of blur.

The real difference comes down to both phones’ displays, though that’s just in terms of size and resolution. The XS has the same 5.8-inch size, OLED tech, and 2436 x 1125 resolution as the iPhone X, though it’s also supposed to have 60 percent greater dynamic range for more vibrant images. The XS Max takes the OLED screen and dynamic range gains and brings them to a 6.5-inch size, with a 2688 x 1242 resolution. Both have the same 458 ppi pixel density, so you don’t lose out on sharpness by going larger.

Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Launched

Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Launched !! 6.4-inch quad Super AMOLED (2960x1440p) at 516ppi makes it the best display in the market. #CatchItFirst

The Samsung Galaxy Note 9 is here. The years of evolution have resulted in a phone that looks more or less like its predecessor, but with some serious improvements in the one feature that makes this phone unique: the S Pen stylus. This is also the largest Samsung Galaxy Note phone ever, with the largest screen size and battery too.

The Note 9 packs the largest battery ever in a Samsung phone at 4000 mAh. This should have made Note 9 thicker and heavier than any of its predecessors. In fact, it is thicker and heavier.

The phone is available in four colours: midnight black, metallic copper, lavender purple and ocean blue, the last being the marquee colour this time. So with the ocean blue version, Samsung is packing in a yellow S Pen. On the off-screen, this even writes in yellow.
There are a lot of small features like this that add real value to this new phone. The 6.4-inch display itself is quad Super AMOLED (2960x1440p) at 516ppi. It is stunningly sharp as you have come to expect from Samsung. The speakers are tuned by AKG.

The best feature of Note 9 is undoubtedly its S Pen stylus. The S Pen stylus has been there for many years now. But with the Note 9, the S Pen goes autonomous. A 40-second charge inside the phone lets its low-power Bluetooth stay alive for upto 30 minutes before coming back into the phone. This opens up endless possibilities.

The camera on the Note 9 is a combination of a 12MP telephoto and a 12MP wide lens. The F1.5/F2.4 combination on the wide lens makes it great for low-light photography.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 9 will sell in most of the world with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor. In India, as is the tradition, Samsung will ship with a octacore equivalent of its own Exynos processor. Still, the Note 9 will be a very powerful phone given that it will offer a minimum of 6GB RAM and will have a water cooling system inside along with a carbon fibre interface for faster cooling.
More over, Samsung is packing an AI-based performance adjuster that keeps tab on heat and performance. All this indicates, that given its screen quality and size Samsung hopes this phone will be preferred by hard core games.

Samsung Dex. The Note 9 can switch to Dex mode and power a full monitor offering desktop computing even without a dock now. For a lot of users, this would mean less money spent on a desktop computer at work, and thus make the Note 9 a more valuable proposition. The Note 9 is also compatible with a whole bunch of accessories that adds value to this mode.

OnePlus 6 | First Impressions

All you need to know about #OnePlus6. OnePlus 6 starts shipping from May 22.

Video Review Credits: MKBHD

In a mere four years OnePlus has gone from an unknown Chinese startup to one of the best phone makers around, and that’s even more obvious with the OnePlus 6. Its pairing of high-end features and specs with a lower-than-average price initially caught the eye of the tech obsessed, but it’s no longer just for those who lurk on the seriously active OnePlus forums.

Pricing for the OnePlus 6 will start at £469 in the UK, €519 in Europe and $529 in the US, Rs 34999 in India

Much of what makes the OnePlus 6 feel extra special is the completely new build and design. It’s now made almost completely of glass, which curves around the rear and feels fantastic in the hand.

There’s a highly polished black version that’s gorgeous but quite the fingerprint magnet, a more conservative Midnight Black matte model and a stunning White and pinky gold variation that sadly won’t arrive until after launch. OnePlus told me the latter hue was made with powdered pearl dust, and while that sounds like the beginnings of a mythical witch’s brew, it does give the phone an jewel-like finish.

There’s been a switch-up in other classic OnePlus design aspects to. The alert slide is still present, but it sits on the opposite side; and the fingerprint sensor is now an oblong shape, perched beneath the centrally positioned dual cameras.

Technical Specs
Screen 6.2-inch, 2280 x 1080, Optic AMOLED
CPU Snapdragon 845
RAM 6/8GB
Storage 64/128/256GB UFS 2.1
Rear camera Main 16-megapixel Sony sensor f/1.7; 20-megapixel secondary sensor. Portrait mode. 480fps 720p slo-mo for a minute. 19% bigger pixels in the main sensor over the 5T
Front camera 16-megapixel sensor with portrait mode
Battery 3300mAh, USB-C, Dash Charge – 30-minute for a day of use, no Qi charging
OS Android Oreo 8.1 with Oxygen OS skin
Features Dual-SIM, 1.2Gbps download speeds, headphone jack
