iPhone SE 2 Leak

There have been whispers on the street recently that Apple might be . A new report today claims that Apple is going to release the iPhone SE 2 in the first half of next year. The company has obviously said nothing about this so far so nothing is set in stone just yet. There hasn’t even been a hint from Apple to suggest that there’s a new iPhone SE in the pipeline.

A new report published by China’s Economic Daily News today claims that Apple is going to launch the iPhone SE 2 in the first half of 2018. It’s also claimed that the handset will be assembled by Wistron exclusively at its factory in Bengaluru, India. That’s the same factory where some assembly of the existing iPhone SE takes place.
This isn’t the first time we’re hearing that a new iPhone SE is going to come out next year. A previous report claimed that the new iPhone SE is going to be released in the first quarter of 2018. The existing iPhone SE was launched by Apple in March last year.
The timeframe lines up nicely but there’s still no concrete evidence as yet to suggest that this handset is really around the corner.

As far as the handset’s specifications are concerned, it’s expected to feature Apple’s A10 Fusion processor with 2GB RAM and up to 128GB of storage. It may also feature a 12 megapixel rear and 5 megapixel front camera. No word as yet on the pricing and availability details.

Tesla Phone Concept Appears On YouTube With Dual Cameras

Concept Creator is a YouTube channel which mainly releases various concept designs for upcoming and smartphones, and a new concept design has just surfaced on the channel, though this time around we’re not exactly looking at a smartphone which is expected to land in the near future.

The Tesla Phone concept has appeared on this YouTube channel, and this phone does run Android, but chances are that we won’t see a Tesla-branded smartphone anytime soon, though there’s always a possibility that the company may opt to release a phone at some point down the line.

As per usual, this design is completely imaginary, and the device does look rather nice. There are two cameras on the back of this phone, in between which you’ll notice a dual LED flash. These two cameras are vertically aligned, and above them sits Tesla’s logo, which blends in with the design of the phone quite nicely.

The back side of this handset seems to be curved, and it looks like the phone comes with a metal frame, and a piece of glass on the back. The front panel of the device seems to be curved on the sides as well, and the side bezels are extremely thin. The top and bottom bezels on this smartphone are also rather thin, but nowhere near its side bezels. The dual camera setup protrudes on the back a bit, though not much, and it seems like the device comes with a set of front-facing speakers, while its display sports slightly rounded corner. Interestingly enough, the designer decided to include an alert slider on the left-hand side of the phone, right below its two volume buttons. This alert slider looks quite similar to OnePlus’ alert slider, and it seems to be made out of metal. A power / lock key is located on the right-hand side of this phone, as you’d expect.

A Type-C USB port can be found on the bottom of the device, and next to it you’ll notice a 3.5mm headphone jack. This imaginary Tesla Phone seems to sport Android 8.0 Oreo, based on its home screen and navigation button design, at the very least, and the designer showed us three color variants of the device, Black, Blue and Gray, each of which also sports a different color version of the company’s logo on the back. If you’d like to take a closer look at this design, fire up the video which is embedded down below.

Redmi Note 5 Image Leaks, Confirms

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 has just surfaced yet again, this time around we get to take a look at the phone’s real life image, though this is not the first Redmi Note 5 real life image that surfaced. In any case, this image goes hand-in-hand with some previously leaked content, which suggests that this is the final design of the company’s upcoming smartphone. The Redmi Note 5, as you can see, will sport rather thin bezels, considerably thinner than the Redmi Note 4, and all other, previously released Redmi-branded phones.

The Redmi Note 5’s display will sport rounded corners, and on-screen buttons will be a part of this offering. Unfortunately, we do not get to see the back side of the device, but chances are that the fingerprint scanner is placed on the back, while you will also notice that a power / lock key is located on the right-hand side of this phone.

 The volume up and volume down buttons can be found on the left side of the Redmi Note 5, and the phone will be made out of metal. This image proves that MIUI 9 will come pre-installed on the Redmi Note 5, though that was to be expected. MIUI 9 will be included on top of Android 7.1.2 Nougat, which is also something that this image reveals, and in addition to that, we also get to check out some other specs of the phone. The leaked image suggests that the Snapdragon 625 64-bit octa-core SoC will fuel this smartphone, while the device will pack in 64GB of storage, and a 4,000mAh non-removable battery.

A 5.99-inch fullHD+ (2160 x 1080) display will be included as well, which will make this phone the first Redmi-branded device to sport an 18:9 display aspect ratio. A 12-megapixel snapper is also mentioned here, and this leak more or less confirms all the leaks that we’ve been seeing thus far.

Having said that, the Redmi Note 5 got listed on JD.com rather recently, even though the retailer did not reveal the device’s spec sheet. In any case, that listing more or less confirms that the announcement of the handset is coming soon, and the Redmi Note 5 could land along with the Redmi 5 and Redmi 5 Plus which have also been leaked frequently lately.

Samsung Galaxy S9 design and benchmark leaks

Samsung is preparing its next generation of flagships for launch in 2018, and looks like we already have some photos and numbers to match it up with the rivals.
As earlier, Samsung is readying three different models of the Galaxy S9 this time-the Galaxy S9, the Galaxy S9+ and the Galaxy S9 Mini. Latest leaks spotted by Forbes reveal that the mini variant will have a 5-inch display, while the other two will be similar to their 2017 counterparts.
All three models will come with Samsung dual-edge-curved 'Infinity' display, unlike previous mini models styled differently than flagship variants. This could make Samsung's foothold stronger in the mid-range segment.
The leak also claims the Galaxy S9 will come with dual cameras with a BABR coating ('broad-band anti-reflection') on the lenses. DSLR lenses use BABR coating to limit ghosting and reflection. The company might also reposition the fingerprint scanner on the device.
A report from AndroidHeadlines also reveals that the phone will use heat pipes for dissipating heat, a setup that has been used on Galaxy S-series and Note series since the 2016.

The phone model SM-G960F, believed to be the global version of the upcoming Galaxy S9, has been spotted on a Geekbench listing as well. The phone scores 2680 points in the single core test which far exceeds that of the Pixel 2 (1685 points). But the iPhone X (4218 points) still remains that king, and so do the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus as they are powered by the same A11 Bionic chip from Apple.
The Geekbench listing also reveals that the phone will be powered by Samsung next generation chipset, the Exynos 9 series 9810 with 4GB RAM. Samsung recently announced Exynos 9810 chipset that is built on 2nd generation 10nm process. It also packs 3rd-generation custom CPU cores and an upgraded GPU, possibly Mali G72. It also supports Gigabit speeds on LTE (something that the new iPhones don't, as they miss out on the required antennas!)
Samsung may also launch variants of Galaxy S9 with Snapdragon 845. A confirmed that Qualcomm will sell the entire first batch of Snapdragon 845 to Samsung for its Galaxy S9 and S9+ smartphones. Like last year, Galaxy phones will be the first to run the top end chip.
The listing also mentions that the phone will run Android 8.0 Oreo out of the box. The Pixels and only a couple of other smartphone run the Android 8.0 Oreo right now as many new phones were launched with the Android 7 Nougat with a promise of an upgrade, OnePlus 5T being the most popular example.
Samsung may announce the Galaxy S9 and S9+ at the upcoming MWC like last year -- which is to start on February 26 and continue until March 1 2018 in Barcelona. Samsung is reportedly planning to schedule the Galaxy S9 and S9+ launch event for February 25.
