HTC U20 5G

With the new U20 5G smartphone HTC reminds us that it still exists

The U20 5G may disappoint you with its Snapdragon 765G processor, especially at the $640 price tag

Surprisingly, this Tuesday was a busy day for HTC. After introducing the Vive XR Suite, the company kept its promise to introduce its first 5G phone, the HTC U20.

Compared to other flagship smartphones, the U20 5G may disappoint you because of the Snapdragon 765G processor, especially with its $640 price tag. The only advantage of this processor is the integrated 5G modem that in theory will give better battery life. The same chip has been installed on the LG Velvet smartphone.

The U20 has an FHD+ LCD display instead of an AMOLED display and as a result a fingerprint scanner instead of an optical version. This was done to reduce the cost of the smartphone but at least HTC has implemented a 32-megapixel selfie “punch-hole” camera.

The rest of the hardware is standard with 8GB of RAM, 256GB of memory, 5,000mAh battery, and four rear cameras: 48-megapixel main, 8-megapixel ultra-wide, 2-megapixel macro and 2-megapixel bokeh.

Just as big names fall, so do young people. OnePlus is definitely one of the most inspiring stories in the smartphone world and the next news shows that the trend continues to be on the rise. A mid-budget smartphone will be introduced under the name OnePlus Z in the Indian market, at least according to Android Police.

Technical details speak for a 6.55-inch 90Hz OLED display, 6GB of RAM, and 128GB of memory. 48MP and 16MP ultra-wide camera as well as Snapdragon 765.

The price of 24,990 rupees ($330) will position it much cheaper than the standard OnePlus 8 which with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of memory sells for $699. And on the other hand, OnePlus’ latest smartphones have gone beyond the initial ambition, reflected in higher prices.

On July 2, the company will hold an event for its TVs, and this is where the announcement of the OnePlus Z is believed to be made. This special moment which brings us back to the feeling of OnePlus 1 delights us immensely as it shows once again the presence of a champion in the market.

Xperia 1 II

(Updated) Sony launches its first 5G phone, Xperia 1 II

5G, super-smooth display, and a beefy camera

Sony unveiled its first 5G smartphone this Sunday in a bid to revive falling smartphone business hopes. With the Xperia 1 II, Sony has invested in camera and display technology.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

The phone has three rear cameras and offers users the ability to change their settings the same as in professional cameras. The device has a 6.5-inch 4K high dynamic range (HDR) display. 4K is the resolution while HDR is the technology that enhances the contrast between black and white making images look more realistic.

The Japanese giant hopes the latest device will help its mobile division especially in the new wave of new generation 5G mobile internet products. By 2025 5G technology will occupy 15% of worldwide internet connections. Sony last year saw sales drop by 16% compared to 2018.

The Xperia 1 II has three 12-megapixel rear cameras that can shoot 20fps in burst mode and can calculate autofocus up to 60 times per second. Eye autofocus has also been restored this year and even works with animals. Sony says autofocus this year covers 70% of the field of view.

To get the most out of the camera system, Sony has introduced the new Photo Pro app which joins Cinema Pro which debuted last year. This app is intended to give users more control over photography. The three rear cameras, one main, one telephoto and one super wide angle, are accompanied by a 3D ToF sensor to assist focusing.

Inside is a Snapdragon 865 processor with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage and a 4,000 mAh battery. In Europe 5G connectivity will be via Qualcomm X55 modem. The phone has IP65 and IP68 water and dust resistance certification.

Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Photo Leak

Samsung Galaxy Note 20 image leaked, including the ‘ugly cameras’

These unofficial publications come from well-known accounts such as OnLeaks (in collaboration with Pigtou)

The first Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Plus renders have arrived just a few days before and now we have the famous distributors leaks who share the first Galaxy Note 20 images.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

These unofficial publications come from popular accounts like OnLeaks (in collaboration with Pigtou), so we can believe that they are quite close to the real version of the new device from Samsung.

The first thing you will notice about the supposed look of the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Plus is its large and weird camera module, which most have rated as very ugly on the iPhone and other devices that are displayed with similar camera design.

According to the renders, the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Plus has at least four camera sensors on the back. Three of them are lined up vertically, with a periscope lens that looks like an extra camera. If you look under the flash it looks like we have another camera in depth and that could be a focus module.

In other parts, the design is largely unchanged compared to its predecessors. You apparently get the same curved screen with the 6.9-inch diagonal with a hole for the selfie camera.

Galaxy S20 Tactical Edition

Meet the Galaxy S20 Tactical Edition made for the US Army

S20 Tactical Edition is a reinforced version to serve the military

The advancement of technology goes hand in hand with the reinforcement of the materials it comes with, after all if we pay €1000 for a smartphone it should at least be resistant.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

Samsung is not satisfied with the strong composition of the Galaxy S20, so it has brought the S20 Tactical Edition, a reinforced version to serve the military. The device was commissioned by the United States Department of Defense, it can serve in long distances and difficult terrain but also has high-security encryption.

There aren’t many details about the smartphone’s interior changes yet, but it’s seen to be wrapped in a very thick case, and painted with the contours of the American military uniform.

S20 Tactical Edition

The Galaxy S20 TE can be connected to army tactical radios and mission systems via Private SIM, 5G, Wi-Fi 6, and 3.5Ghz (reserved for Marina satellite communications – land.) Also, this Galaxy has a special setting on the screen, which makes it visible for night glasses as well it has a “stealth mode” as airplane mode but more extreme, which deactivates LTE, and any RF signal.

Unfortunately, Samsung does not list a price for the product, which suggests that we will probably never see it on the market for the consumer.

iOS 13.5

Apple releases the 13.5 version of iOS and iPadOS

Apple released iOS and iPadOS 13.5 with major updates almost a month after releasing version 13.4.1 of operating systems. iOS 13.5 is an update that focuses mainly on health and dealing with the health crisis that the world is facing today.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

You can download the latest versions by going to Settings> General> Software Update.

The company also released the iOS 12.4.7 version of the operating system for older models with mostly security updates.

iOS 13.5 comes with APIs created by Apple and Google through which public health authorities can create applications capable of tracking coronavirus spread. It is a Bluetooth-based technology and will be incorporated into health applications.

Users can choose whether to activate it or not. Apps using the Exposure Notification API will use Bluetooth to communicate between the smartphones of the people around you.

iOS 13.5 makes it easier to access your smartphone via Face ID even if you have a mask worn. With this version if the operating system identifies the use of a face mask, it will faster show the space for setting the password.

Apple has also improved group calls on FaceTime by adding an option that automatically increases the video size of the person who is currently speaking. The other “Automatic Prominence” option makes videos of all group participants the same size. Touching on one of them, the video magnifies.

In Apple Music, a new feature makes it possible to distribute songs directly to Instagram stories.

Finally, the update addresses two critical security issues that affect Mail applications on the iPhone and iPad. One of these problems allowed hackers to compromise the iPhone with simple malware by sending an e-mail while the second makes it possible to execute the code remotely.

iOS 13.5 may be one of the latest versions of iOS 13 as we prepare for iOS 14. Apple will unveil the latter on June 22 when the WWDC Developer Conference is held online
