iPhone 7 Rumors: Dual SIM Support, Edge-To-Edge Display And More

The upcoming iPhone 7 has been in the rumor mills quite a lot lately and more details about the device has surfaced over the last few weeks. As much as Apple keeps a tight lid on its next flagship, leaks and rumors have found their way to the internet. While some of these sound plausible, others are just absurd and totally unbelievable.

Edge-To-Edge Display

This is long overdue and Apple is expected to have a bezel-less display on the iPhone 7. There have been rumors surrounding this. Some believe the next device won’t have this, but the 2017 iPhone 7. Whatever the case may be, we’re very likely to see an edge-to-edge display on the iPhone pretty soon.

Rumors surrounding this also suggests Apple plans to introduce a flexible OLED screen in 2017 and some of these will be supplied by Samsung.

Dual-SIM support

This is probably the most absurd rumor we’ve heard but the next iPhone is said to support dual SIM. Apple isn’t known for this and it is most unlikely this will happen. Then again, nobody knew the company would introduce a 5.5″ device in 2014 when it had earlier criticized smartphones with big screens.

Rock Fix, a smartphone repair shop in China posted some images of components alleged to be for the iPhone 7. This suggested the dual-SIM support and a 256GB variant.

If this is eventually introduced, it may only be available in markets like Asia and Africa.

Dual-camera setup on the iPhone 7 Plus

This has been in the news for a while and there are leaked components to support this. Apple will likely have a dual-camera setup on the 5.5-inch iPhone 7 Plus. As seen on devices like Huawei Mate 9, this will improve image quality and produce DSLR-like photos.

The leaked camera module picture also suggests this.

Headphone jack is still present

Contrary to rumors we previously heard that Apple is going to get rid of the 3.5mm earphone jack, recent leaks suggests that this is still there after all.

Production started

According to reports, production has started for the 4.7-inch iPhone 7 at Pegatron factory according to renowned leakster @onleaks. However, the same can’t be said for the bigger iPhone 7 Plus, but Apple may be producing this at another location.

Report: Huawei and Xiaomi to launch smartphones with curved panels from Samsung and LG

For as long as one can remember, phone displays have been much very like the world was once considered to be flat. Curves are good, you see, so that Samsung and LG have been bending their displays for several years now. Product categories include Smartwatches, smartphones, fitness bands and television.

Following in the footsteps of last fall’s BlackBerry Priv and this spring’s Vivo’s Xplay 5 – both of which allegedly use Samsung dual curved edge panels - A new report from a Chinese site MyDrivers claims that Xiaomi will make use of a flexible LG display and Hauwei to make use of one from Samsung. The new devices are expected to be released in September.

Huawei

Huawei device is said to be called the "Mate Edge" and will use Samsung dual curved edge display OLED prowess. As Samsung is careful the brand only the screens on its own products as Super AMOLED, the phone will thus likely make use of a simple “standard” AMOLED. The phone is said to be powered by Huawei Kirin 950 SoC itself and together with 4 GB of RAM. It is expected to cost around 4,000 yuan, which is about $617.

As for design, it can be assumed that the device will visually look similar to the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, and probably follow the trend Huawei has set of putting a fingerprint reader on the back of the device.

It is worth mentioning that the price point mentioned is quite high for a company typically associated with more affordable products. By the time it would release, the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge may very well have reduced in price to around the same amount thus inadvertently creating a fair bit of competition.

Xiaomi

Xiaomi device is rumored to be called "My Edge" or "Mi Note Edge" and use a flexible display from LG. As for the display, the report suggests that it will have a curved edge, however, keep in mind that LG Display has yet to commercially produce the two edges of the panel curves shown behind closed doors at CES 2015, it is possible that the phone will use a display similar to the LG G Flex series.

In terms of specifications, it is said that Xiaomi will feature a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820, 4GB of RAM and a 16 megapixel rear camera. It should cost 3,000 yuan with is roughly $463, which would be much cheaper than the product Huawei is trying to bring to the market, if the price reports are accurate.

Display

Assuming this report is true, it will be good news for both Samsung and LG who can benefit from contracts with rival OEMs. This will serve to help the company’s bottom line and improve fiscal performance in the coming months and even years. LG, for example, suffered this past fiscal quarter because of lower LCD panel shipments. It has frequently been mentioned that OLED panels are the “way forward” with respect to making money from display sales. A report last year found Samsung has almost all of the profit currently.

Conclusion

While seeing Samsung’s display on a different device may not be so strange, just what LG will potentially offer remains to be seen. If the company will indeed product dual curved display panels that look just like Samsung’s, there is a real question as to why the company would have failed to release it’s own product that uses it’s own panels before letting a competitor have them.

Also worth considering: what kind of implementation would be used? Some have already argued that Samsung’s non-Note Edge curves are put to waste, could Huawei or Xiaomi put the Korean conglomerate in its place?

What do you think? Would you be interested in buying a phone from Xiaomi or Huawei with a curved OLED? Are these companies innovating or are they copying? Does it even matter?
Leave a comment below!

From which OEM would you like to buy a phone with a curved display?

Xiaomi Max With Alleged 6.4-inch Front Panel Leaked

The Xiaomi Max phablet device is said to come with a Snapdragon 820.
A few days ago, Xiaomi held an online poll to decide the name of the upcoming phablet device with a size of 6.4 inches. The name chosen after the poll results is Xiaomi Max and now, we have come across some leaked images of the front panel. Xiaomi Max front panel leaked images were apparently taken on the production line and you can see that the 6.4 - inch indeed is large enough. After all, it is only a half inch short of becoming a 7-inch tablet.

Other important things to look at in the front panel are the thin bezel and physical capacitive buttons.

You can see that there is no cut for the physical home button as we saw in the Xiaomi Mi 5. This means that a fingerprint scanner won't be in the front this time. The sources have said that this time it would be present on the back of the Xiaomi phablet.

There is no detailed information about the specifications of the Xiaomi Max for now. The only known specs are that it would have a 6.4-inch Quad HD display with a Qualcomm Snapdragon SOC 820 under the hood.

The Xiaomi Max is rumored to be announced in May, but nothing is official at the moment. We will keep you informed as more details will be out soon.

Samsung Galaxy S7: Live Images + Crazy Antutu Benchmark Score

Samsung Galaxy S7 is likely to be unveiled this month, but we have more juicy details about the upcoming device. We have seen pass through the Geekbench 3 but Antutu benchmark score is even more impressive. It is the highest we've ever seen on an Android device.

Last year, Apple took over Antutu, beating the fastest Android phone on the list, Huawei Mate 8, by a very wide margin, but Samsung is consistent with the Samsung Galaxy S7. The benchmark score is very impressive and as a matter of fact, this makes it a smartphone to actually look forward to.

Thanks to Nowhereelse.fr, we saw a picture of the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge and the picture showed the device scoring 134,704.

This is the highest we've ever seen on any other phone. The only device that comes close to this is the iPhone 6S Plus with a score of 132620. We do not know whether the version of the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge tested sport Exynos 8890 or Qualcomm Snapdragon 820, but it is likely to be the latter.

Regarding the specifications, Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge should sport a 4GB RAM, a 12MP rear camera, a 3600mAh battery, a "5.5" curved screen with 2k resolution and it is expected to be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 820.

This device puts Samsung in a much better position to compete with the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus. Anyway, Apple has the iPhone 7 on the road and it looks like an interesting year ahead in terms of competition.

Smartphones with 7-day Battery Life to be here within 2years, Says Fuel Cell Maker

In Tech News Today..
The current smartphones may have features we never many thought possible for years, such as high-speed Internet access, biometric scanners, 4K video recording, and even limited VR capabilities, but all this comes at the expense of a region that many older cell phones are fondly-remembered for: battery life.

While many of the upcoming smartphones are said to have massively improved batteries, such as Samsung S7, they still needed fairly regular charge, especially when used intensively. But a UK-based company claims that it is developing a system that would allow a smartphone to work for a whole week before requiring a charge.

Intelligent Energy Holdings Plc said its hydrogen-based fuel cell will be small enough to fit in a smartphone yet powerful enough to keep it running for seven days, and could be available to the public within two years.
The company said an "emerging" smartphone maker is so impressed with the technology that it is investing $7.6 million in its development, reports Bloomberg.

"Embedding fuel cell technology in portable devices offers a solution to the current dilemma of battery life," Julian Hughes, Acting Director Consumer Electronics division Intelligent Energy, said in a statement. "With consumers demanding more and more from their phones, did not maintain the battery innovation."

Intelligent Energy Holdings Plc has 25 years experience in the field of energy and has already worked on a zero-emission, hydrogen-powered black cab in London and a fuel cell powered aircraft for Boeing. The technology works by converting hydrogen into electricity, leaving only water as a byproduct.
Last year the company unveiled a prototype iPhone 6 which uses hydrogen fuel cells. The only change from the original design was some small rear vents so could escape an imperceptible amount of water vapor.

There are still some hurdles to overcome, but should Intelligent Energy Holdings technology' find its way into commercial smartphones, charging our devices almost every day can be a thing of the past.

In this second configuration described the magnetic wristband acts as a protective cover for the electronic device on which it is attached. In this way a user can reduce the likelihood of damage being inflicted upon the electronic device while it is not being worn.”
The wristband comprises of a number of magnets arranged in magnetic polarity patterns that are complementary to each other, which will allow the wrist band to be magnetically couples around the wrist of users.

Reports further revealed that Apple Watch 2 may be launched in April this year. According to a report from Apple Insider, citing a research memo obtained from Cowen and Company, the second-generation Apple Watch will likely have a thinner size and better performance.
