Vivo Z5 with full HD Super AMOLED display, 48MP triple cameras, up to 8GB RAM launched in China

-

Vivo announced the Z5x a few months ago in China and later rehashed it as the Vivo Z1Pro in India. The smartphone is primarily aimed at young users with high expectations about performance. Today, the company has announced the Vivo Z5 with major improvements in terms of the specifications but without compromising on the competitive pricing for the attractive package.

The Vivo Z5 comes with a Super AMOLED display with a teardrop notch, unlike the Z5x which featured a hole-punch display. The Super AMOLED display also features an in-display fingerprint scanner. The display has a screen-to-body ratio of 90% on the Vivo Z5, which is lower than the Z5x.

Under the hood, there’s a Snapdragon 712 on the Vivo Z5 – just like the Z5x – but the company has removed the option for a 4GB RAM and instead included an 8GB RAM variant in the lineup. Additionally, there are options for up to 256GB UFS 2.1 storage, which is also an upgrade over the Vivo Z5x.

In terms of camera, there’s a 48MP primary sensor on the back of the Vivo Z5 but the company has not clarified whether this sensor is from Sony or Samsung. Along with this, there are 8MP wide-angle and 2MP depth of field sensors on the smartphone. On the front, the Vivo Z5 has a 32MP selfie camera.

The Vivo Z5x features a smaller 4500mAh battery but it gets two major advantages compared to the Z5x. The first is a USB-C port and the second is support for Vivo’s FlashCharge technology with a power transfer rate of 22.5 watts. Vivo claims that this technology can charge 50% of the battery in 30 minutes.

The Vivo Z5 will be available in three color variants – Aurora Illusion (purple), Holographic Illusion (bluish-white), and Bamboo Forest Night (dark green) and these names as per Google Translate. There are four configurations in which the smartphone is available. These include a 6GB/64GB variant which costs CNY 1,598 (~$235), a 6GB/128GB variant for CNY 1,898 (~$275), a 6GB/256GB variant for CNY 1,998 (~$290), and an 8GB/128GB version for CNY 2,298 (~$335).

Motorola’s foldable Razr phone may be announced before year’s end

-
While Samsung’s saga with the Galaxy Fold appears to finally be coming to an end , there are other foldables destined to be released soon. The Huawei Mate X is the other big name, but it has been delayed a couple of times as well. The other foldable device that we’ve heard about a few times is the rumored Motorola Razr reboot, and a new report claims an announcement is coming this year still. Earlier this year, reports suggested Motorola would launch its foldable phone this summer. That time has come and gone without a peep from Motorola, but a new report claims it’s still coming this year. This information comes from a person close to the company speaking to CNET . It’s unlikely that the device will actually be sold this year, but we should at least see the device before 2020. Motorola has already confirmed that they are working on a foldable smartphone. The “Razr” name was also confirmed by a Bluetooth certification. We exclusively reported on the specifications of the device ,...

Behind Dynamic System Updates in Android Q: How Google is using Project Treble to improve future Android releases

-
Image
Alongside the release of Android 8.0 Oreo, Google unveiled Project Treble : a major rearchitecting in the way the Android OS framework and the vendor HALs and Linux kernel communicate. Treble is a major initiative designed to reduce Android platform version and security patch fragmentation , and all Android-branded devices launching with Android Pie are required to support Project Treble. OEMs and vendors test Treble compatibility by booting a Generic System Image (GSI)—a pure stock build of Android from AOSP—and passing the Vendor Test Suite (VTS) and Compatibility Test Suite-on-Generic System Image (CTS-on-GSI). The GSI has proven useful in not only allowing software engineers working for OEMs test Treble compatibility, but it has also opened the door for a large custom ROM community on XDA. For the Android Q release, Google wants to make GSIs useful for another group: app developers. Since the first stable release and source code drop of any given Android platform release usual...
