The mobile market sees like a cutthroat competition from all quarters, making it difficult for OEMs to stand above the crowd. There’s only so much differentiation one can bring to a phone’s design, so these OEMs have to explore unconventional features and sometimes quirky gimmicks to get their phones noticed.

Meizu will reportedly be doing something similar with its next set of devices in the “Pro” lineup. The Meizu Pro 7 and the Meizu Pro 7 Plus will reportedly feature not only a dual rear camera setup, but also a secondary color display on the back of the device.

The small secondary display will be housed below the dual rear camera. At first, leaks pointed that this display could be an e-ink display similar to the Yotaphone, just a bit smaller. But new leaks of the device showcase color display functionality which would not be possible with an e-ink display.

One of the leaks pictures the secondary display displaying a full copy of the front display, while another shows the device running a Pac Man game on the back. Though rumors suggest that the display technology on the secondary display would be LCD rather than AMOLED, though we will have to wait on the official launch to state the same with complete confidence. An upgrade from e-ink to LCD would enhance the usefulness of the display, but this would presumably come at the cost of precious battery life.

As far as specifications are concerned, the Meizu Pro 7 will likely sport a 5.2″ FHD display while the Plus variant will go for 5.5″ or even higher. Leaks point to a MediaTek Helio X30 powering the brains of the devices. The rear cameras are rumored to be 12MP sensors, Sony IMX386 and Sony IMX286. The front camera will be a 16MP shooter.

Pricing on the base variant of the Meizu Pro 7 is expected around CNY 2,799 ($412) and is expected to go as high as CNY 3,299 ($486) for the topmost variants. On the other hand, the Meizu Pro 7 Plus is expected to range between CNY 3,299 ($486) to CNY 3,799 ($560).

[TechLeaks] Moto X4 image leaks showing off glass back, dual camera, thin side bezels

Update: The first image of the Moto X4 has leaked (see above). It was recently posted on Twitter by Evan Blass and shows the front as well as the back of the upcoming smartphone. The device looks a lot like the rest of the Moto lineup with its large circular camera housing on the rear and the fingerprint scanner positioned on the front, below the screen. The image shows the gold version of the Moto X4, although we do expect to see it in a few other color options once it’s officially released. One of the smartphones we’re really looking forward to from Motorola this year isn’t a refresh to the Moto Z , but rather the return of the Moto X lineup in the Moto X4. With specs and rumors flying around, Evan Blass has taken to Twitter to share the first good look at the upcoming device. The latest addition to the Moto X lineup, the Moto X4, is expected to be a return to the Motorola that once got us excited , at least to an extent. Whereas the Moto Z line focuses on premium sp...

[Phone Launch] Xiaomi launches its first Android One smartphone named Mi A1

Xiaomi unveiled the Mi A1 earlier today in New Delhi, and the phone marks a shift in strategy for the manufacturer. While all Xiaomi phones thus far have featured MIUI, the Mi A1 offers stock Android. The phone is the first in a new lineup of Android One devices, with Google looking to aggressively target the budget segment in emerging markets. The highlight of the Mi A1 is its dual camera setup at the back with a 12 MP wide-angle and a 12 MP telephoto lens. The 50 mm telephoto lens captures the main image and the wide-angle lens assists with the depth of field measurement, and the two lenses work together to create a bokeh. The telephoto lens enables up to 2x optical zoom and for even further shots, Mi A1 offers up to 10x digital zoom. Also, like the Pixel and Pixel XL by Google in the past, the Mi A1 offers unlimited high-quality photo storage on Google Photos. Xiaomi Mi A1 Specifications Operating System Android 7.1.2 Nougat Display 5.5-inch IPS LCD 192...

[Tech News] Google Chrome Canary and Dev Builds now have Built-In Ad Blocker

Google depends on advertising for its revenue. It is to serve this purpose that the company collects all relevant data across all of its users. Our browsing habits, our shopping-related searches, our weekly schedule — all of these are of interest to Google because they grant an insight into our lives, allowing Google to serve personalized ads that have a higher chance to resonate with viewers. So earlier this year, when reports emerged that Google was looking to incorporate an ad blocker in Google Chrome  – its main browser that serves millions of Android users – many people were initially surprised. After all, ads are Google’s forte, so blocking them natively seems like a strange idea. However, the reports clarified that even though the ad blocker would be turned on by default, it will only block out those specific types of ads that are deemed too intrusive and that negatively affect a user’s browsing experience. Some users on Google Chrome’s Canary and...
