Looking for a Smartwatch? The Cubot F1 might have Everything you need
Since the arrive of “smart watches” in the wearable market, we’ve
seen them grow into two different segments: fashion and fitness. Now,
Cubot tries to get both worlds with one device – the Cubot F1
smartwatch. Let’s see what makes the F1 different from most wearables
already on the market!
The Cubot F1 comes with a built-in memory chip which allows you to store 10 messages in the watch. You can also view the full-text message or incoming calls.
#1
The Cubot F1 uses an high-quality 1.2-inch LCD screen covered with mineral crystal glass which ensures a clear view of the screen even under direct sunlight. As you probably well know most other smartwatches are only easy to view indoor because of their poor screens and glass coating. Needless to say the F1 will be very visibile at night as well, when you light up the screen.
#2
The speed and accuracy of heart rate monitors on conventional chips are lower than what you’d get on the Cubot F1. The smartwatch is indeed equipped with a professional chip that can achieve real-time heart rate measurements with high accuracy. There are also five color indicators to show different heart rate status.#3

Customized experience: studies show that if you want to achieve the perfect health results and fat reduction, you should get around 40 minutes of exercise per day, longer than that would not actually help you. That’s why the Cubot F1 features a time setting: it will remind you when the time is up, so you don’t have to bring your phone with you.
In addition to the aforementioned features, the built-in six-axis
sensor allows the F1 to accurately recognize the motion status and
record the motion data without a phone. Meanwhile the 240mAh battery
capacity will grant 2 to 3 days of battery life, even for heavy users.
Overall the Cubot F1 is definitely an interesting device for those
seeking for a simple looking but yet feature packed smartwatch. You can one delivered to you by purchasing it at Nairobi Smartphones e-shop.Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 details appear online
Qualcomm’s new bet for agitating the mobile chipsets segment on the next year will be the Snapdragon 845. We expect the full details of the chipset to be revealed before the end of 2017, however some details appeared online telling us pretty much what to expect.
According to the source, Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 will keep focusing in what is doing good. While other chipset makers are starting their 7nm solutions, Qualcomm’s new flagship SoC will use the same 10nm from its predecessor. However with some differentiations i.e. Snapdragon 845 use LPÈ while the recent released Samsung Chipset, Exynos 9810, uses LPP.
In what concern to the brute force, the Snapdragon 845 will be an octa-core divided in four Cortex-A75 and another four Cortex-A53 cores. Graphics have become even more demanding with the advent of higher resolution full screen display and Qualcomm is getting this covered by Adreno 630.
Another 2017 trend was the use of multiple cameras setup, with some handsets even bringing four cameras in total. So Qualcomm is preparing the chipset for supporting dual 25MP front cameras and dual 25MP rear units. In what concerns connectivity the Snapdragon 845 counts with X20 modem, support for 802.11 and Wi-Fi with a download speed of 1.2Gbps.
Telling about availability, we may see the Snapdragon 845 debut in the Samsung S9 and S9+ early in 2018, followed by either LG G7 and Xiaomi Mi 7. Are you excited for the next generation of Qualcomm’s flagship SoC?
Razer Phone Teardown Video: Massive Heat Pipe & Tiny Vibrator
A couple of weeks ago, a gaming company,
Razer, released its first smartphone – Razer Phone, and being released
by a gaming company, everyone expected this smartphone to be a gaming
phone. We all know two major effects of gaming on a device – it swallows
up your battery and it heats up your device. From the specs of the
Razer Phone, it comes with a 4000 mAh battery which takes care of all
battery needs. Now, a recent teardown by JerryRigEverything shows that
this smartphone comes with a super huge heat pipe which is probably the
largest in any smartphone in recent times.
The video gives a complete teardown of
the Razer Phone which is quite easy compared to OP5T. There are no
visible screws on the Razer Phone because its screws (a combination of
Philips and T5 screws) are hidden beneath two plastic grills. The bottom
plastic grill exposes a few screws while the top plastic grill which
covers some more screws comes out with the camera lenses. Rather than
adhesives, Razer Phone is held down using clasps and friction thus
dismantling this smartphone after all screws have been removed is a
piece of cake so long as you have a pry tool. Just behind the screen is a
massive heat pipe which is overlaid by thermal paste on top of the
copper for efficient heat dissipation. Another interesting aspect of the
interior of this smartphone is the vibrator which is smaller than usual
thus it could go unnoticed when the phone is set to vibrate only. This
vibrator, as well as the charging port, is located at the bottom of the
Razer Phone but there is no waterproofing so you have to be careful with
the charging interface.
Finally, coupling back the Razer Phone
is as seamless as tearing it down but make no mistake about this, you
need to be extremely careful so you don’t destroy the screen or any
other component. Note that the plastic grills covering the front screws
do not stick back easily when they have been removed.

OnePlus 5T is the fastest selling phone from the company
For sure when OnePlus started the “5T Project” the company wish was to increase their smartphone sales appealing in trends like the 18:9 display. But apparently the OnePlus 5T is performing pretty well to be only considered a ramp in sales.
The handset was unveiled two weeks ago in an event held in US, yesterday the handset debuted in OnePlus homeland, China. According to the company the OnePlus 5T is their fastest selling phone up do date, surpassing their previous handsets. And becoming much more successful than its early brother, the OnePlus 5T.
If you’ve lived in a cave during this month and missed the OnePlus 5T bandwagon, let us refresh your memory. The 5.99-inch FHD+ smartphone brings Qualcomm’s most powerful chipset to date, the Snapdragon 835 paired with 6GB of RAM and 64GB of Storage or 8GB RAM and 128GB in the higher variant. Camera wise the handset brings the same 20MP + 16MP dual setup on the rear, however the company has made a refresh treatment in the sensor to do a better low light photography. Additionally there is a 16MP unit on the front for selfie’s lovers.
Currently the OnePlus 5T can be acquired with the amount of $499 for the 6GB+64GB variant and $559 for the 8GB+128GB unit. Chinese consumers can also grab the cool looking Lava Red Colored OnePlus 5T, while western consumers got only the Midnight Black variant. We are anxious to see if the handset will keep breaking records.

It’s worth mentioning, the MIUI9 comes
with an interesting concept in mind dubbed as the ‘fast lightning’. It
is also fully optimized to provide smoother and more stable performance.
Especially, it adopts the first black technology including an
application startup acceleration, dynamic resource allocation,
continuous auto-finishing, new file system and real-time
anti-fragmentation of the memory to ensure the fluency of the phone is

Panasonic unveils the tri-bezeless Eluga C
Smartphones with thick bezels are slowly becoming a thing of the past as brand new device from the like of Xiaomi, Oppo and even Apple slowly hit the market. Panasonic is now the next OEM to jump on this trend with the Panasonic Eluga C, a phone that’s bezeless on three of its sides.
The phone has a 5.5” screen with a screen to body ratio of 84.6%. The resolution isn’t great – 720p – but the brightness is pretty good – 450 nits. Below the screen is a fingerprint reader (0.3s unlock time) and an 8MP selfie camera.
Samsung Exynos 9810 with 15% better efficiency now under production
Korea is ready to ramp up production of 10 nm and below process technologies.
So, what about the 8nm chips we’re so interested to see? Well, looks like those will be postponed to at least the Galaxy Note 9. Even though the 8nm FinFET is now ready for mass production, as Samsung said last month.
The report coincides with widespread rumours that the Samsung might strut its stuff on the CES 2018 stage in January. Apple has been filling its pockets well with the iPhone X and this won’t be a good sign for its strongest rival, hence the reports of an early Galaxy S9 release hold some water.
