Look forward for the New Smartphone by OPPO with in-screen fingerprint sensor in India soon

The New series by OPPO will hit the Indian market soon. This time OPPO is bringing in a distinctive series which is catering to a melange of consumers across geographical and economic boundaries. The USP of OPPO’s new handset is the presence of ‘in-screen fingerprint sensor’. OPPO has already launched the phone in its home country in October last year, which has proved to be a grand success. OPPO has one of the most desirable and best specs in the smart phone segment in India.

OPPO has been a pioneer in the offline segment since last 5 years and also has substantial online presence on all major virtual shopping sites.

Samsung Galaxy M20 Unboxing and First Impressions

The new M series from Samsung is all about addressing the needs of the Indian market. Our demographic is such that Samsung has decided to launch this series here first, starting with the M10 and the M20. We'd seen the first impressions of the Galaxy M10, now it's the Galaxy M20's turn. This device, at a great starting price of Rs. 10,990 (3/32) and Rs. 12,990 (4/64), aims to compete in the most hotly contested smartphone segment in our country. I was lucky enough to test the device just before launch and here are my first impressions. Unlike the M10, the Samsung Galaxy M20 comes with a USB-C port and a 15W (9V-1.67A / 5V-2A) fast charger. This makes the presence of a 5,000 mAH battery even better, which brings us to the specifications of this device - Samsung Galaxy M20 Specifications 6.3-inch (2340 x 1080 pixels) Full HD+ TFT 19.5:9 TFT display Octa-Core Exynos 7904 14nm processor with Mali-G71 GPU 3GB RAM with 32GB storage / 4GB RAM with 64GB Storage, expandable up to 512GB via micro SD card Android 8.1 (Oreo) Dual SIM 13MP rear camera with LED flash, f/1.9 aperture, 5MP ultra-wide angle camera 8MP front camera with f/2.0 aperture ...

At Rs. 7,990 (2/16) and Rs. 8,990 (3/32), the Galaxy M10 is the cheaper of the two, here are my first impressions. For under 10k INR, it is necessary that we set our expectations right.

Intel patent hints at a foldable smartphone that unfolds into tablet

Samsung, Huawei, LG are said to be working on foldable smartphones which are slated to release some time this year. Apart from these mainstream OEM's, companies like Qualcomm, Microsoft, IBM, and Intel are also said to be working on foldable devices. In-line with the reports, Intel's new patent hints at what the company is working.  Back in 2017, WIPO has published a patent from Intel Corporation for an 'Electronic device with foldable display panels'. The patent shows various design images and a very brief description of the product. This new Intel device unfolds into a big tablet, consisting of three display areas. A stylus pen will make it convenient to operate this foldable device. Meaning, you will have a dual-screen smartphone at your disposal. The interface will probably be adjusted accordingly. Intel has so far limited itself to prototypes with two displays, so at this moment, it does not seem likely that this foldable smartphone/tablet will hit the market anytime soon, but it does show that companies like Intel are also investing in the foldable future.
