Infinix has become a household smartphone brand in Kenya, Ghana & Nigeria among other many African countries. Known for its exclusive sales on platforms like Konga and Jumia, the devices have become a favorite of many.

Infinix has created an online platform that helps you verify if your Infinix smartphone or battery is genuine.

The platform allows you to input the IMEI and VC number of your Infinix smartphone phone.
(You can get your device IMEI on your purchase box or dial *#06#. For the VC number, you have to check on the battery or phone itself. It is usually below the battery compartment.)
Once you input the two and submit, Infinix will let you know if the device is genuine or not. You can also do the same for your battery (The battery verification works with only the IMEI and not the VC number).

Hello guys.
I need someone to write some phone specs on my site (380 phones) which is hosted on WordPress.
Check out this page for reference on how the specs are to be written - https://smattgeeksmedia.com/phones/
And feel free to contact me via +254758872004 if you are up to the task.

Rather than a total or global outage, the Facebook issue appears to be specific to certain features. Users report that specific posts or photos don’t show, but that the page might load, leading to international frustration.

Issues are being reported across the world, according to the tracking website Down Detector. Users in Europe, the US, Africa, South America and Japan were particularly affected, with thousands of users across the globe running into problems.

The Honor 20 Pro scored 111 points in the Photo department, while it garnered 97 points in the Video department.
The Honor 20 Pro shares the third spot with another recently released smartphone, the OnePlus 7 Pro. Both devices have the same score and have taken over the Xiaomi Mi 9, Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus, the Huawei P20 Pro, and the Huawei Mate 20 Pro which all had a score of 109 and previously sat at third.

Samsung has reportedly identified at least one of the Galaxy Fold’s flaws and are now deciding on a new launch date. That’s the word out of Korea, where Samsung’s mobile boss, DJ Koh, suggested that they identified a “defect” that was allowing substances to enter the Fold and cause damage to its display.

Koh shared the news with the Korea Herald, saying that they will “reach a conclusion in a couple of days” over a new launch date.

To back up for a second, remember that we got to this point because a handful of Galaxy Fold review units ran into issues that forced Samsung to pause the phone’s launch. A couple of issues were self-inflicted, at least one was a failed device, and another couple were because substances found their way through the phone’s hinge, which caused damage to the foldable display from the inside.

Mediate and Snapdragon are the same thing. Snapdragon just has brand and has been in the market for long. Budget phones are also good especially if you from Nigeria
Try Ulefone,umdigi,blackview,Energizer,Xiaomi,meizu

I'll excuse your ignorance and give you the tables below....please spot where the first mtk chip ranks....No.18

What is the Galaxy View 2? The renders show a 2-in-1 style tablet with a Galaxy Fold-style curved hinge along the top edge, connecting the screen to a full-size kickstand. When folded down, the stand does not lay flat agains the back of the screen, and instead still angles the device for typing, scribbling with a stylus, or watching videos. The kickstand is shown with a big hole in the middle, and without the weird built-in handle on the original Galaxy View. The hole could double as a handle, and will also help reduce the overall weight.

Details on the specification are slim, with speculation the screen will measure 17.5-inches, down from the 18.4-inch screen on the original. A set of benchmark results linked to the Galaxy View 2 suggested the device will have an Exynos 7885 processor — found inside the Galaxy A8 Plus smartphone, and equivalent to a Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 series chip — and 3GB of RAM. Benchmark results are easily faked, so this may not be accurate.

On its official website, Samsung has included the prices for the Galaxy S10E, Galaxy S10, and Galaxy S10 Plus in its screen replacement breakdown.

Users will have to fork over $199 to get a broken display of their Galaxy S10E repaired, $249 for the standard Galaxy S10, and $269 for the Galaxy S10 Plus.

These prices aren’t surprising considering that they do sport the company’s new Infinity-O Display. The Galaxy S10. and Galaxy S10 Plus. both sport an ultrasonic under-display fingerprint reader too, which presumably adds to the cost of the repairs.

Meanwhile, the Galaxy S10e. doesn’t have curved displays like on its larger siblings and, just to be clear, an in-display fingerprint sensor. Instead, it has a flat screen and a fingerprint reader under the power button on the side. This likely explains its lower $199 screen replacement cost.

The back panels are, fortunately, $99 to replace across the board, which is the same cost since the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy Note 9 models.

To add to it’s camera centric smartphone line, Infinix will be releasing their latest midrange S4 to the public with a tear drop notch design which is much better than Apple’s notch if you asked me.

The Infinix S4 is believed to be shipping with an Octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 CPU with a a similar glossy finish common to budget smartphones nowadays that try to imitate a glass build.

The specs have been bumped up a bit from the predecessor Infinix S3X thus comes with 6.2 inch display,4GB/6GB RAM, 64 GB ROM and Triple 16MP + 13MP + 5MP rear camera and a 20MP front camera.

It seems like Tecno is working on a 4 sided fold-able device known as the Boom X but we don’t have much information on this device just yet.

2019 is the year companies are unleashing their best technology innovations when it comes to foldable displays being led by companies like Samsung, Huawei, Apple, and Motorolla.
Whether this is the future for the smartphone, we’ll let time be the judge as we wait upon the Tecno Boom X.

According to a post that appeared on Facebook, the Boom x is believed to be coming in a fold of 4, 5000mAh battery capacity, 42MP Rear camera, 24MP front-facing camera, 6GB of RAM and 126GB of ROM……..i also don’t know why it’s 126GB and not 128GB as we are used to.

According to several video trailers we’ve seen on the official channel of Tecno Mobile on Youtube, it seems that the company has a duo surprise for us this coming days, weeks or months…no one knows for sure. But one thing we are sure about is that Tecno will be releasing the Pouvoir 3 and Spark 3 Pro.


Review on Tecno Spark 3 Pro.
Review on Tecno Pouvoir 3.

I decided to download the app on my phone to see what it was all about. The app is quite smooth and the sign-up process is quite simple.

You have to give the app access to the number of steps you take per day in the “Health” section of your phone, as well as allowing it to track your location at all times. Being quite mindful of what I allow to track me, this was the thing I was least happy with.

I guess the tracking makes sense, since that is what they need to assess how many Sweatcoins I am earning… and I guess that is partly how Sweatcoin makes money (by selling data). Although the official purpose of the app is to make people more fit, I assume the data is more valuable for the company behind.

As soon as you have signed up, it starts counting your steps and you start earning Sweatcoin.

The most immediate effect of this invitation to mark to our calendars is that it signals there’ll be no Huawei flagship phone at the upcoming Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Given the relative dearth of leaks regarding any new Huawei phones, that might have been taken for a given, but now we know for sure that there’s still another month before the reveal of the P30. Then again, with all the high specs and performance of the Huawei Mate 20 Pro, the company can feel comfortable, even after MWC is concluded, that it has one of the leading smartphones on the market already.

I think it will take time though

hmm nice

hope it reaches naija ASAP cuz al dis china charger too tire person.............

The future of smartphones, if you believe a company like Meizu, is a future filled with phones without holes. No USB ports. No headphone jacks. No speaker grills. No SIM card slots. The future will be unibody construction without the need for plugs. Are you ready for it?

This week, they unveiled the Meizu Zero, a ceramic phone without holes or ports. It runs a Snapdragon 845 and has 18W fast wireless charging, IP68 water and dust resistance, a 6″ AMOLED display, fingerprint reader, and virtual side buttons that hopefully don’t take after HTC’s U12+ buttons. But the big thing here is the lack of any port or hole.
Wait, so how are they doing things like charge, connect, listen, transfer, and control with the Zero? The phone wirelessly charges when battery is low, transfers files over wireless USB 3.0, features an eSIM for connectivity, plays sounds through its display, hopes you have wireless headphones, and gives you volume controls through touch points on the side of the phone. Oh, and it’s fingerprint reader is an in-display reader.

Now, I don’t know if anyone else has been smoking what Meizu has been smoking, but a future without holes just isn’t something the industry is ready for. Wireless charging, which would be required, still isn’t as fast or stable as wired charging at this stage, though Meizu claims their tech is super fast and reduces heat. Headphone jacks could possibly go and have from numerous phones, but killing the USB-C port means we really have no options for headphones other than to go fully wireless. Dongle life would be over. No speaker grills? We could probably live with that, assuming the tech in-screen speaker tech used by Meizu in a new phone is any good. eSIM technology is great, but carriers in the US hate it so far.

OK, now that I type all of that out, it sounds like a challenge that could be fun to take on. Could you use a phone for an extended period of time that had no ports or holes? I kind of want to try it. Their solutions are real solutions, not just made up concepts. This could be a possibility.

What do you think?

How many news daily for that pay

Hello webmasters...am currently expanding my blog and need an assistant who will be publishing tech news stories on a daily basis.
You must have a PayPal account since am in Kenya.
Payment is $5 per week.

I don’t know about you, but when someone tells me not to Google something , I immediately do it.
It’s a sickness i guess because I can’t think of a single instance where whatever I discovered online after being explicitly warned against looking for it didn’t live up to my awful expectations. In other words, when people tell you not to Google something, they usually have a damn good reason.

So why am I sharing this roundup post of things you shouldn’t google, knowing full well that some of you are going to Google them anyway, and I will be the one to blame for your subsequent discomfort?
Because I am a very, very, very bad person, that’s why.
Keep reading … IF YOU DARE.


That said, here are a few things you should never type into Google’s search box :



1.Clock spider




I can’t even type those words without my scalp crawling. Now, I have a THING about spiders so your creep factor on this one may vary, but if you’re a fellow arachnophobe, you definitely definitely don’t want to Google Image Search this term.



2.Bedbugs on Mattress



SWEET JESUS NO!



3.Wet koala




Eventually the Internet will inform you that the viral image of a “wet koala” is in fact fake. But not before you are SCARRED FOR LIFE by the damp, fanged, rage-filled creature someone dreamed up via Photoshop.



4.Tetris Fantic




What could ever be wrong about googling Tetris? I mean, it’s Tetris, right? Wrong again. There is a type of pornographic fan fiction inspired by Tetris. It sounds something like this:
“I unbuttoned the blue pixel I had on my lower half and instructed her on the ways of pre-intimacy. As her top pixel met my bottom pixel, I let out an ecstatic sigh. Such pleasure I had never experienced in my life …”



5.Yourself




Either you’ll find no proof whatsoever of your existence, or you’ll realize just how screwed-up your Internet legacy will be. There’s no happy outcome here.



6.Lazy sundays




There are no words to describe this… Unless you are into old men, who enjoy “scrubbing” each other in the shower, you should try to stay away.



7.Blue Waffle




There is honestly no need to elaborate. Whatever you do, just don’t.



8.Tub Girl




Do you know the games where you have to concentrate really, really, really hard, and then a scary face appears out of nowhere and you fall of your chair crying? Tub girl is in some ways similar to those faces, because it manages to scare the life out of innocent people. If you haven’t seen it yet, don’t look it up, because your reaction might be similar to this guy’s.


9.Fournier



10.Meatspin


11.Goatse (Espcially not this one)

12.Two Girls,One cup

13.Cake farts

14.Skeleton in the closet

15.Google pewdiepie

16.Lemon party

17.Mr.Hands



and that’s todays list don’t be too curious to know them.

It looks a hell of a lot like the Galaxy Note 8, but it has upgraded internals and a fancy new S Pen. The phone will feature a 6.4-inch QHD Super AMOLED display, Snapdragon 845 processor, 6GB or 8GB RAM, 128GB or 512GB storage (with SD slot), 4000mAh battery, dual rear cameras with all the OIS you can handle, and Android 8.1 under their Samsung Experience skin.

Samsung plans to sell fully unlocked Galaxy Note 9 models as well as through every carrier you can imagine. Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and US Cellular will all carry the Note 9. Unlocked versions will be sold at Samsung’s store, Best Buy, Amazon, Costco, Target, Walmart, and more.

The Infinix XtraS is believed to satisfy your selfie desires and whether this device will come with an AI powered selfie like the note 5 remains a mystery to be unfolded once we get more details on the device.

“Today is the last day to hit that Stumble button. Thank you to our dear Stumblers for joining us in internet history.“

It’s not quite the end though. All of StumbleUpon’s remaining users will see their accounts migrated to Mix.com, which is a new social sharing platform founded by Camp.
According to Camp, Mix.com will “combine social and semantic personalization into one streamlined experience.” Camp proclaims the new platform will help users find “obscure but interesting content” that has been recommended from within their social networks.

The Infinix NOTE 5 will also be part of Google’s Android One project, which is pretty exciting. Well, Android One was originally designed for first-time smartphone users in emerging markets and Infinix NOTE 5 being part of it only means the device brings with it a guarantee that it’s a solid and stable version of Android that’s not loaded with other apps, services or bloatware.

Android One, which is described as the ‘purest form of Android’’ comes without any of the stuff that most smartphone manufacturers like to bundle in – no skins, no duplicate apps and those annoying additional services. We have seen Android One on the recently launched Nokia devices: Nokia 8 Sirocco, Nokia 7 Plus, Nokia 6.1 (2018). The Xiaomi Mi A1, HTC U11 Life are also part of Android One.

Other rumored features include a 4GB RAM and 32GB internal storage, while the Note 5 Pro would pack 64GB and a massive 5000mAh Non-removable battery.
