LENOVO K8 PLUS..FULL DETAILED SPECS UNLEASHED..

·         Lenovo is teasing the smartphone on social media

·         Flipkart is also teasing the launch of the smartphone

·         Lenovo K8 Plus said to bear a dual rear cameras, stock Android

Lenovo recently launched the K8 Note to bolster its K series of smartphones along with a major step to ditch its Vibe Pure UI for the stock Android interface. Ahead of its launch, Lenovo was also reported to be working on another K series smartphone, dubbed K8 Plus, that got listed on a benchmark listing website. Lenovo India has now confirmed the launch of K8 Plus on Twitter. Besides, Flipkart has officially announced that the smartphone will be unveiled on September 6, and exclusively sold on the e-commerce website in India.

On Tuesday, Lenovo India posted a teaser video of K8 Plus on Twitter, showing a dedicated media button on the left side of the smartphone. The tagline that accompanies the video teaser reads, "Do you look at your smartphone and always #KraveForMore? It's time to end that with the new and powerful #LenovoK8Plus. Coming soon!".

The upcoming Lenovo K8 Plus is going to be a mid-range smartphone, Flipkart said in its release - however the exact price will only be revealed at the time of launch. Lenovo will also be going ahead with its latest move to ship stock Android to this smartphone, with the latest Nougat version. Moreover, Flipkart says that the smartphone is also expected to sport a dual rear camera setup, as per a social media teaser posted by Lenovo that shows Bokeh effect in action. However at the time of writing, we could not find such a post on Lenovo's social handles. The Lenovo K8 Note bears dual rear cameras, and so it does seem likely that another smartphone in the same series has the same feature.

As we mentioned, the Lenovo K8 Plus was spotted on popular benchmarking website, Geekbench, where some of its specifications were revealed. The smartphone can be expected to come with Android 7.1.1 Nougat, powered by a 1.7GHz octa-core MediaTek Helio P25 (MT6757CD) SoC. The benchmark listing of the Lenovo K8 Plus also disclosed that it might sport 3GB of RAM, in addition to aforementioned specs.

Hands on: Samsung Galaxy Note 8 review-(The world’s best phone, but bigger and more powerful....)

OUR EARLY VERDICT

The Samsung Galaxy Note is almost dull in its predictability – it's a hugely powerful phone that's great for multi-taskers, has a mind-blowing screen and an improved dual camera, and costs an absolute fortune.

FOR

• So much power
• Strong camera
• Beautiful screen

AGAINST

• SO expensive
• Easily-smudged rear

·         Let’s get this out the way now: if the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 hadn’t been so prone to explosions the Note 8 would have been a slam dunk of a phone, so impressive is this new handset at first sight.

·         Well, it very much still is – there’s very little wrong with the Note 8 if you’re a fan of the phablet – but the spectre of last year's debacle is still hanging over its shiny body.

·         As with the Galaxy S8, Samsung has promised that its rigorous battery checks will prevent such incendiary incidents from happening again – and that’s clearly the case with the Note 8 too.

·         As such, you can disregard the issues from last year if you go for this new and powerful handset from Samsung... apart from the inevitable questions / mocking you’ll have to put up with when you pull it out for the first time.

·         As mentioned, you’ll have to be a fan of Samsung’s phablets specifically to be drawn towards the Note 8 over the Galaxy S8 Plus, for instance, because despite having more power and a larger and sharper screen than anything Samsung has launched before, it's got a smaller battery than the S8 Plus and is more expensive too.

Samsung Galaxy Note 8 release date and price

The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is available to pre-order on August 23 in the UK, Thursday, August 24 in the US and Friday, August 27 in Australia. It’ll be in US stores on Friday, September 15, in Australia on September 22, and around those key across other key territories, such as the UK.

In terms of price – get ready for a very expensive phone. In the UK it’s going to be £869 SIM-free, and Note 8 deals will start at around £60 per month if you want a free phone – very much at the pricey end of the scale.

In the US, it costs $930 for a Note 8 unlocked through Samsung, while carrier like Verizon are charging a hefty $40 a month. T-Mobile is only charging $30 a month... with a $210 downpayment. Luckily, there will be Note 8 deals in the US.

You can order the Note 8 in the US through Samsung, AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile and Sprint as well as smaller carriers like C Spire, Cricket Wireless, Straight Talk, US Cellular and Xfinity Mobile. Best Buy, Walmart and Target will also carry it.

In Australia, the Note 8 is easily the most expensive Galaxy phone to date, with an RRP of AU$1,499 — that's a good $150 dearer than even the Galaxy S8 Plus, which sells for AU$1,349. 

The good news is that pretty much every major Australian telco is carrying the device, with the cheapest plans starting at around $80 per month on a 24-month contract. If you're looking to pick up the handset down under, our Aussie deals team has a round-up of the best Australian Note 8 plans on offer.

More screen than ever before

The big thing about the '8' series of Samsung phones is the Infinity Display, which is Samsung's name for the edge-to-edge, bezel-less display that adorns the front of the handset.

And the Galaxy Note 8 has the biggest version of this display yet seen, with a 6.3-inch QHD+ offering that just looks sublime. You're really just picking up a screen with the phone attached somewhere on the back.

The quality of the screen hasn't been updated a huge amount from the Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus – it's still the same Super AMOLED technology with HDR support baked in, but that's no issue, as we consider Samsung to be making the best phone displays in the world right now.

It's brighter and more colorful than anything we've seen before - although we're awaiting the lab tests to confirm this - making it the best phone to watch movies on again if so.

The design of the phone complements the display well, with the slightly rounded edges on the back having a touch of sharpness about them to make the phone easier to grip.

It was interesting to note (sorry...) that we tended to pick up the phone more in the middle of the display, rather than cradling it from the bottom – this made finding the buttons and the rear fingerprint scanner easier to hit (more on that later).

The buttons all protrude well enough to be easily clicked, and weirdly for a phone of this size it didn't feel too cumbersome in the palm. It was even possible to reach the full width of the screen with a thumb, although you can forget hitting the corners.

It's got three flavors of internal storage: 64GB, 128GB and 256GB. On top of that there's a microSD slot (up to 256GB supported) and with an S Pen port too, there's a lot to pack into the Galaxy Note 8, and Samsung has done well to put it all together in a package like this (especially as it’s IP68-rated for water and dust resistance).

However, the Gorilla Glass 5 still feels lightweight, and still borders on feeling a little like plastic. This does save weight, and the overall construction feels premium, but there's a tactility to metal – or even ceramic – that we miss here.

Fingerprint mistakes are repeated

However, when it comes to design choices, we're disappointed that Samsung has maintained its stance of putting the fingerprint scanner on the back next to the camera.

We'd assumed that last-minute design changes had meant the Galaxy S8 had to have the biometric unlocking method put on the rear, and that this issue would be solved with the Note 8.

Samsung's executives will tell you that they use iris scanning to unlock their phones most of the time, but in our testing of the Galaxy S8 we didn't find this accurate enough... and that still seems to be the case here.

Double take

The camera on the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is probably one of the biggest upgrades over anything else in the South Korean brand's range, with dual 12MP sensors on the rear.

As on Apple's iPhone 7 Plus, one of these is telephoto, so you can zoom in 2x to your subject with no loss in clarity. You can also use the two sensors together to create a background blur effect, either when taking a photo or after you've shot it.

However, this feature needs some work. In our testing we noted (dammit, again...) that the Note 8 didn't do a very good job of working out which elements to blur in the live preview very well, with subjects with detailed outlines, such as plants, proving especially problematic.

We'd also question whether being able to blur the image post-shot is a good idea. What Apple does well is keep things simple, and a 'background defocus' mode that did just that would have been a better idea here. 

Perhaps give users a 'geek-out' mode where they can enable tuning, but the average user is presented with a lot of options on the Note 8 camera, which always feels like something of a danger.

What you won't find an issue with is the picture quality. It's as excellent as ever, and combined with the Super AMOLED screen your snaps always look brilliant – even if taken quickly, such is the speed of autofocus.

With one sensor on the rear taking wide-angle, f/1.7 images and one taking zoomed f/2.4, you should be able to get good low-light performance from the Note 8, as well as being able to take a wide range of styles of photo.

That said, in our low-light comparison with the iPhone 7 Plus, the results from Apple's setup looked brighter, albeit with more noise. We're not going to pass judgement on that though, as it needs more of a look.

Paired up

Another small update that came with the Galaxy Note 8 was the pairing of apps. This is pretty much as it sounds: swipe from the edge of the screen in any mode and you'll be able to see pairs of apps that you use regularly.

Play music every time you turn on maps in the car? Have both in split screen with a single tap.

It's not the most exciting feature in the world, but does push the point of Samsung's split screen capabilities better than anything.

Whether it comes to the Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus remains to be seen - but it would be a neat feature to bring across.

The most useful S Pen ever made

The S Pen is – along with the raw power inside – the thing that defines the Note series, and the new version of the stylus is better than ever. Its 4,096 levels of pressure sensitivity, a more flexible tip and nice weight make it a pleasure to use. 

Samsung, once again, has wheeled out the idea that 'this feels like writing on paper' and while it utterly doesn't (because this is rubber on glass) it's closer than ever before, and highly accurate.

The new features offered, such as the option to create an animated GIF from your doodles, and to translate more words in a single swipe, are among the most useful that Samsung has offered with the S Pen.

We never felt that being able to snip out parts of pictures was a great tool to have, but the Galaxy Note 8 feels more useful to the millennial generation than ever.

Bixby bursts forth

The Galaxy Note 8 should really be known as the phone that brings Bixby, Samsung's digital assistant, to the fore, with the full suite of features enabled from launch.

That means that alongside the Bixby Home screen (which is still more perfunctory than amazing as a feature) and Bixby Vision (which has a long way to go to convince us it's any use) we'll have Bixby Voice on board, offering the full range of ways to interact with your phone.

·         Bixby Voice: everything you need to know

It'll mean you'll be able to press the physical Bixby button and have the phone perform all manner of tasks – and in the demo we've seen, it's incredibly accurate and powerful for a voice assistant.

It won't mean a lot right now, even to Samsung phones, but where we derided Bixby's presence on the Galaxy S8 at launch, the Note 8 will offer far more functionality.

Battery

There’s always a worry with any phone when you don’t see an industry-leading number in the battery spec column, and that’s the case with the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.

The 3300mAh power pack just feels too small for a phone that has these specs. More RAM (6GB), a powerful CPU (either the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 or the Exynos 8895), and a wider range of functionality means people will be using the Note 8 a heckuva lot.

It's a smaller battery than the Galaxy S8 Plus (which offered a 3500mAh option), and this could be an issue for Note users. 

Yes, Samsung has optimized its software well, and yes, there needs to be space for the S Pen – but we expect the best of the best from the Note range, so we'll have to wait and see how well the device performs in our usual battery (sorry, again, sorry...) of tests.

Anything else I need to know?

One of the things Samsung is keen to promote in its new range of phones is the DeX desktop experience, where you plug the phone into the dock and have a full desktop experience if there's a monitor, mouse and keyboard handy.

This seems more in keeping with the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 than the Galaxy S8, as the Note is designed to be more of a productivity tool.

The demo we were shown did show off an improved DeX, with a more fluid desktop experience and more full-screen Android apps that can be used effectively with a keyboard and mouse, but we saw nothing to convince us that this was a complete desktop replacement.

Biometrics still need sorting

Samsung still hasn't solved the issues around the biometric unlocking of its phones – at least going on what we could see in our limited testing.

The iris scanner failed on a couple of occasions, despite being in the right lighting conditions, and while we didn't test out facial recognition we didn't see anything that suggested Samsung has solved the issue of these options being slightly inaccurate and erratic.

Early verdict

Samsung didn't have to do much to make a decent Note 8, such was the impressive nature of the Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus.

Essentially, this is just a beefed-up version of those phones with a fancier camera – more options, but overall still the same quality underneath.

The power will attract some users who want 6GB of RAM alongside the latest CPUs on the market, but they won't really change the performance for most users.

In reality we can see people buying this phone for the larger display and improved S Pen – and despite the higher price, that could attract a large audience indeed.

As long as the Note 8 doesn't run into any similar issues to last year, we're going to be treated to an epic battle between Samsung and Apple this year to see which brand can offer the most impressive handset.

REVIEW OF MICROSOFT SURFACE BOOK,,,Whether To Buy Or Not To Buy...???

MY VERDICT

While the Surface Book brings many technological innovations to the laptop space, its greatest strength is that it's just an all-around terrific device.

PROS;

• Futuristic design
• Unrivaled display
• Seamless tablet separation

CONS;

• Battery life falls well below promises
• Major updates are still in tow

During its short tenure as a hardware maker, Microsoft has become the de-facto trailblazer for Windows-running devices. It all started with the lofty promise that its Surface tablet could replace your laptop. We were skeptical about it three years ago, but after the Surface Pro 3, Microsoft nearly perfected the formula and showed veteran computer manufacturers how hybrids should be made.

·         We’ve ranked only the best laptops you can buy in 2017

Now, Microsoft introduces the Surface Book as the 'ultimate laptop'. Like the Surface tablets before it, this laptop takes a unique spin on the notebook format that's been around for over 40 years. Between the 3:2 aspect ratio, 13.5-inch screen and its practically-trademarked 'dynamic fulcrum' hinge, there isn't any machine on the planet like the Surface Book – and then, with the touch of a button and a gentle tug, it becomes a tablet.

It all sounds like an amazing idea on paper, and with the added "Holy cow, Microsoft made a laptop!" factor, the Surface Book sounds like a thoroughly amazing device. Let's see just how well Redmond made good on the hype.

Recent developments;

Two years on, Surface Book buyers are unlikely to have experienced buyer’s remorse. That’s because, even now we still haven’t received a proper sequel to Microsoft’s very first laptop. Nevertheless, there has been a fair amount of rumor spillage over the last few weeks.

For instance, a machine resembling the Surface Book was shown off in an Intel reel teasing its latest processors. Outfitted in an unprecedented black finish and sporting the controversial fulcrum hinge, the video suggests the 8th-gen processors are “designed for what’s coming next,” perhaps alluding to an imminent Surface Book 2 announcement.

Given the initially disappointing return rates of the original Surface Book recently disclosed by Microsoft, it only makes sense that a sequel is right around the corner. Even so, this rate went down to 10% from 25% seven months after launch, indicating a speedy recovery for the convertible. As it approaches its second anniversary, though, a follow-up is still past due.

Design;

If a tear in the space-time continuum were to suddenly rip open, two things would fall out: the Terminator and then the Surface Book quickly tumbling to the Earth behind it. From the snake-like hinge, the flat design and even down to the washed-out silver color of this laptop, everything about it just seems like it came from the future.

Milled from two solid blocks of magnesium, the Surface Book feels sturdy and has a most minimalistic style unto its own.

From keyboard deck to the palm rests, the entire interior of this laptop is one flat surface of metal, save for the large space reserved for the glass touchpad. Similarly, the screen lid is made of one uninterrupted slate of magnesium, with its only extra flourishes being a mirror-finished Windows logo in the center and a rear-facing camera.

Along the chiseled sides, you'll find two flat edges that start from the top of the display and terminate at the tip of the palm rest. That's not the only seamless transition.

Unlike most other convertible devices, the screen and base sections share nearly the same thickness and weight. Without the foreknowledge that the display can actually detach, the Surface Book looks like one continuous device, thanks to the hinge.

Mind the gap;

At the midpoint of the Surface Book, there's a piece of connective tissue that Microsoft calls the dynamic fulcrum hinge. On top of simply gluing the screen and keyboard base together, it's this key piece that makes the whole device work.

Rather than folding flatly, the hinge basically coils into itself, leaving a noticeable gap between the screen and keyboard when the unit is closed. When opened, this same part rolls out and actually extends the base of the laptop, which in turn helps extend the support base for the tablet portion of the Surface Book (called the Clipboard).

While a traditional notebook display might weigh half a pound at most, the top section of the Surface Book weighs 1.6-pounds, because it contains all the necessary parts to act as a standalone tablet. As such, the hinge has been reinforced and contains extra mechanisms, not unlike the Lenovo Yoga 900's watchband-style hinge to keep it in place.

Surface Book is solid as a rock, and you can even pick up it by the display and shake it about without worrying about the whole thing falling apart. On a flat surface, the screen is held steady in place and even stays put when you have it in your lap.

The only times the screen wobbles are when I'm poking at it with my finger or the Surface pen, but that really comes with trying to operate a touchscreen on any laptop.

And to address the concerns of the gap left in the middle of the system. Yes, there is a substantial open space in the middle of the system when it's closed. No, dust and other bits of nasty will not slip into the interior anymore than with a standard laptop, unless you're a particularly messy person. After a week of using the Surface Book religiously, I can run my finger against the inside edge of the hinge and not find a single speck of dust.

Another plus side of having a laptop that doesn't close completely flush is you'll never find any oily outlines of the keyboard imprinted on the screen. It's a design element that also eliminates the need to seat the keyboard into a recessed area. Instead, the keys on this laptop sit flush with the keyboard deck.

The keyboard itself offers a splendid 1.6mm of key travel that caps off with a satisfying thwack when you bottom out the keys. The trackpad is equally as enjoyable, with it's glass laminated finish. For the first time ever, I found myself interested in using the three-finger multi-gestures to rotate through windows and reveal the desktop.

While this is a tiny element of the Surface Book, few – if any – other Windows notebooks on the market today offer such a tight tracking experience.

Mobilizing the desktop;

The Surface Book's other signature trick is the screen can pop off the base with just the tap of a button. Technically, Microsoft is coming late to the 2-in-1 laptop game with various devices being able to do the same, including Acer's Switch family, Toshiba's Click notebooks, some HP devices and the list goes on.

However, no one has made a system as seamless as the Surface Book.

Undocking and attaching the Clipboard is nearly as seamless as the Surface Book's design. After either pressing the eject button on the keyboard or the virtual button in the taskbar, the screen will blink off for a second and then notify you it's safe to detach the screen with one quick tug.

's a neat feature that allows me to quickly show a friend something cool or when I want to read a digital comic book without having to lug the whole laptop around. But it didn't really click with me until I realized how easily it lets me bring my entire PC to another place without having to disconnect my external monitor, keyboard, mouse, Xbox controller and all my other peripherals at home

It's the coolest mechanic since the saucer separation of the Enterprise-D. What's more, it leaves open a door to expandability. Because the Clipboard is compatible with all Surface Book keyboard bases, not just the one it shipped with, Microsoft could theoretically come out with future upgrades could be done through new bases

Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 release date, news, and rumors

Xiaomi to drop its bezel-less beast before the iPhone 8

After surprising global tech fraternity with it’s stunning looking bezel-less Mi Mixsmartphone last year, Xiaomi is all set to unveil the successor of the beauty. The Chinese giant has confirmed that the second iteration of Mi Mix, named the Mi Mix 2 will be unveiled at an event in Beijing on September 11, which is a day before the anticipated Apple iPhone 8 launch. Xiaomi took Chinese social networking site Weibo to announce the launch date and the venue, which is University of Technology Gymnasium in Beijing.

To recall, Mi Mix was the reason why majority of OEMs fell for the bezelless fashion and started working on their respective designs. If you look at phones like LG G6, Samsung Galaxy S8, Galaxy Note 8, Essential Phone and allegedly the iPhone 8, it’s quite obvious that Mi Mix had its impact over the design of these phones. Well, technically Sharp Aquos came even before the Mi Mix but never got into such limelight, so the credit obviously goes to Xiaomi for this. 

Although the Mi Mix did not make it to India last time, there are high chances that the company will bring the flagship in India soon after the global roll out. It’s pretty obvious that the Mi Mix 2 would be better, mightier and improved. The Mi Mix 2 featured an edge-to-edge display with 91.3 percent screen-to-body ratio, while the Mix 2 is said to boast of an immersive display with 93 percent screen-to-body ratio.

Even  Xiaomi VP, Manu Jain teased the bezel-less beast on his Twitter today.

Xiaomi's TAKE ON MI MIX 2

Mi Mix 2 specifications;

Similar to most other premium-flagship smartphones, the Mi Mix 2 is rumoured to come with Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 SoC. It is still not confirmed but it’s quite evident that Xiaomi will go with the latest flagship processor available in the world right now, so we can bet on the SD 835. In the RAM department, it is said to boast of 6GB RAM which is already present in the Mi 6 from Xiaomi. Similar to the Mi Mix, the new phone is also expected to come in 128GB and 256GB storage variants, which is also one of the claims we can count on. Also, there are rumours that claim that the Mix 2 will come in different RAM and storage variants— 4GB RAM/128GB storage, 6GB RAM/128GB storage, and 8GB RAM/256GB storage. 

Rumours suggest that the Mi Mix 2 will boast of a 6.4-inch quad HD (1440x2560 pixels) display. On the camera front, it is expected to feature a 19MP rear sensor and a 13MP front sensor. Unlike last year Xiaomi may change the front camera placement (which Andy Rubin calls the nostril cam) to top from the bottom. There are also rumours about a dual camera setup on the back, which is another feature that has become a norm in smartphone lately. 

A 4500mAh battery is said to be baked on the Mi Mix 2, which seems quite logical looking at the size and design of the phone. Many reports have surfaced claiming that the phone will be coming with 3D facial recognition feature and even a fingerprint sensor embedded in the display panel. While the claims about the hardware seem to be logical, it’s still to be seen how many of them turn out to be true. 

Mi Mix 2 expected price;

Xiaomi has not hinted about the price of the Mi MIx 2 but we can expect it to be cost more than the original Mi Mix. The starting price of the Mi Mix was CNY 3,499 (approx. Rs. 34,500) for the 4GB RAM/128GB storage, while the high-end variant with 6GB RAM/256GB storage model was priced at CNY 3,999 (approx Rs. 39,500). 

The Mi Mix 2 if launched in India will possibly fall over Rs 40,000 price segment. We will update this post as soon as more details about the Mix 2 pour in.
