LOL. I was actually having this discussion with a colleague today.

The world is moving away from big bezels, and here's Sony acting against the movement.
PhonesSony Experia 8 Announced With 21:9 Screen And Snapdragon 630 Soc by beejayvince(op): 4:44pm On Oct 07, 2019
Sony has just announced the Xperia 8 in Japan, hot on the heels of the Xperia 5 release. The mid-range smartphone has a body that is quite similar to that of the Xperia 10. However, in the case of the Xperia 8, there is Gorilla Glass 7 on the front and back.

The Sony Xperia 8 comes with a 6-inch FHD+ display with the signature 21:9 aspect ratio. It comes with an LCD panel, unlike flagship Xperia models. The device has a dimension of 158mm x 69mm x 8.1mm and weighs 170 grams.

This beautiful device has a dual-camera setup on the rear. This setup includes a 12MP f/1.8 main shooter and an 8MP f/2.4 ultrawide angle camera. On the front sits an 8MP f/2.0 selfie camera.

The Xperia 8 has its power button plus fingerprint scanner combo on the right side. Sony also included the Side Sense touch sensors that we see in the Xperia 1 and the Xperia 5.

Sony Xperia 8 smartphonecamp.com
Powered by the Snapdragon 630 SoC, the Xperia 8 comes with 4GB RAM and 64GB internal storage. The internal storage can be expanded via a microSD card.

The battery of the Xperia 8 has a capacity of 2,760mAh and supports 18W fast charging. The device is waterproof and dustproof, with an IP65/68 rating. It comes with a 3.5mm headphone jack with LDAC for hi-res audio. It also comes with an LED notification light.

PhonesUnreleased Moto Phone With Pop-up Selfie Camera Seen On Motorola Fan Page by beejayvince(op): 10:29pm On Oct 06, 2019
Last week, we saw several photos of an unreleased Motorola smartphone online. The photos appeared on a Motorola Latin America community page on Facebook.

Arguably the most intriguing part of the photos posted is the presence of a mechanical pop-up selfie camera. Motorola has yet to include this in any of its smartphones so far.

https://www.smartphonecamp.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Unreleased-Moto-Phone-with-pop-up-camera-leaked-image.jpg

The phone has a full display with almost no bezels. The bezel at the bottom is the biggest, and even that is small.

Given the “confidential” marking on the lower bezel of the device, they may just be a Motorola prototype. On the back of this phone is an illuminated Moto batwing logo.

The photos came in two posts with one speculating that the phone is a new Moto One variant. Well, it could also be the Moto G successor. Even though most of the members of the community agree it could be a Moto One device, we are not ruling a Moto G out.

We expect to get more information about this device over the coming weeks.

PhonesRealme X2 Pro Features Snapdragon 855+ And Dual Stereo Speakers With Dolby Atmos by beejayvince(op): 2:58am On Oct 06, 2019
The Realme X2 Pro is coming soon. We do not know the exact launch date yet, but the features we know so far are keeping us expectant. The company sold over 2.2 million smartphones last week, and the X2 Pro may bring many more sales.

The Realme X2 Pro will come with the powerful Snapdragon 855+ chipset. It will feature a 90Hz notched display. It will also come with a telephoto camera.

However, the main selling point of the Realme X2 is probably that it will feature Dual Stereo Speakers. This will make it the first device from Realme to feature such.

The Chinese phone maker confirmed this in a video on Twitter. The company tweeted a video revealing that the Realme X2 Pro will boast dual stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos and Hi-Res Audio certification.

The current Realme X lineup already features Dolby Atmos, but that only works when you plug in earphones. With the Realme X2 Pro, you can enjoy enhanced audio through the device speakers as well.

On the camera front as well, the Realme X2 Pro does not disappoint. It will sport a 64MP quad-camera setup on the rear. Placed in the center, it will include a telephoto unit supporting 20x hybrid zoom. It will also have an 8MP ultrawide angle camera with an FOV of 115 degrees which will allow you to capture macro shots.

We do not yet know the battery capacity of the Realme X2 Pro. However, Realme has confirmed that it will support 50W SuperVOOC charging.

PhonesIos 13.1 Caps Some Iphone Qi Wireless Chargers At 5W by beejayvince(op): 1:22am On Oct 05, 2019
Apple only recently released the iPhone 11 series to much acclaim in some regions and not so much in others. Now, reports have it that Apple’s latest operating system, iOS 13.1, is putting a 5W cap on some wireless chargers.

It appears that this issue affects both Apple-certified and non-certified wireless pads. According to reports though, it does not affect Qi wireless chargers from Anker, Belkin, and Mophie.

ChargerLab reports that with iOS 13.1, Apple only supports 7.5W wireless charging for pads that support fixed-frequency voltage regulation which Apple recommends.

What this means is that even the new iPhone 11 lineup tops out at 5W on chargers which delivered 7.5W on iOS 13. It is of note that the iPhone 11 lineup normally supports up to 10W fast wireless charging.

Apple brought 5W wireless charging to its 2017 lineup- the iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, and iPhone X.

When the company released the iOS 11.2, those iPhone models could also enjoy faster 7.5W speeds. This was possible with Apple-certified Qi wireless chargers.

Now, this is not to say that the iPhone XS lineup and the iPhone 11 lineup cannot enjoy beyond 5W wireless charging. With the right wireless charging pad, you can get up to 10W.

PhonesGoogle Finds Security Flaw In Pixel, Samsung, Huawei, And Xiaomi Phones by beejayvince(op): 11:29pm On Oct 04, 2019
Google researchers have detected a serious security flaw in a number of Android devices. These devices include the Google Pixel, Pixel 2, Samsung Galaxy S7, Galaxy S8, Galaxy S9, and Huawei P20. LG’s Oreo phones are also not left out.

Other phones on the list are the Xiaomi Redmi 5A, Redmi Note 5, Xiaomi A1, Oppo A3, and Moto Z3. These devices require additional patching.

This security flaw, known as the Zero-Day exploit, is part of the Android system kernel. It can allow an attacker to gain root access on a phone. What this means is that if your phone is affected, the attacker could access your data and modify system apps. They can even track your location.

Google reports that it found the flaw seven days ago. However, the tech giant said that it is actually not as serious as it sounds. So, you do not exactly have to get all concerned and afraid.

According to Google, the flaw requires the installation of a malicious software. So, basically, this can only happen with the user’s permission. This is why Google has rated the vulnerability as “high” and not “severe”.

What is odd is that this issue was supposed to be patched back in December 2017. But the patch was pushed back and was not later maintained in subsequent versions.

The exploit is believed to be used by Israeli NSO Group, a company that has been implicated in attacks on human rights and political activists. However, NSO Group denies this claim.

GamingApple Has Just Announced The Apple Arcade, And It Is A Threat To Google Play by beejayvince(op): 6:44am On Mar 27, 2019
Apple has just announced the Apple Arcade, a subscription service for accessing premium games. What this means is that as an Apple device user, you will be able to download and play hundreds of amazing premium games with a single subscription.

Apple Arcade is set to launch this fall. With this service, all the games you download will be playable on iPhones, iPads, Macs, and Apple TVs. These games will be available offline, and they will be accessible to up to six different family members. What’s more, they will not feature any ads or in-app purchases!

Apple Arcade will tend to solve the problem of free-to-play garbage that has almost taken over the App Store since the “demise” of premium games. This subscription service will enable premium games to compete once again.

Now, this is probably amazing news to iOS gamers, but it is definitely extremely bad news for Android gamers; this is considering the fact that Apple Arcade games will be exclusive to Apple Arcade.

As it stands, some games that you are probably looking forward to on Android will eventually not find their way to Android. Already, a number of high-profile future releases have been announced for Apple Arcade. This means that unless something comes up to change the situation, games like Oceanhorn 2, Where Cards Fall, and Beyond a Steel Sky may never come to Android now.

https://i2.wp.com/www.androidgamecity.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Oceanhorn-2.png?resize=640%2C360&ssl=1

We really cannot blame the developers for taking that route though. Android games are so notorious for piracy that many developers have to come up with a model that is entirely different, just to release a premium game on the platform. It appears like Android gamers are so against the idea of paying for quality, premium games.

Now, we can only wait to see what Google’s response to this will be. The company recently announced the Google Stadia, but this does not work in the same manner as Apple Arcade. So, that is definitely not the alternative we want to see.

So, it's Google's move now. Let's see if they have what it takes to tackle this apparent take-over by Apple.

“(Since) we released that report (interim statement on the elections) in the late afternoon, the numbers of incidents have increased and report, particularly from Rivers, is worrying.”

Already, INEC has postponed the elections in some Rivers Communities “till further notice”.
