Tecno Camon C7 Full Specifications

While we still flexing the recently launched Tecno Camon C9, Tecno already has something else in store for us.

The Tecno Camon C7 is the Tecno Camon C9 successor, or is it?😕 The numbering is all wrong! First the Tecno Camon C5 then C8 followed by the camon C9 now C7?

The camon C7 has entry-level specs such as a 5.0" FHD IPS Touchscreen display with an FHD (1280 × 720) resolution. It comes pre-loaded with Android 6.0 Marshmallow out of the box, a Quad-core Processor clocked at 1.3Ghz, 13MP AF Front Camera & 13MP Back Camera, with supports for 120 Degree Paranomic mode Front Camera.

Also, the Tecno Camon C7 will have a 2GB RAM and 16GB internal storage. It will also have an iris scanner just like the camon C9.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Will Come With A Dual Camera Setup

Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 is one of the top selling smartphones for the company ever since it launched. And now, the Chinese company is already working on its successor the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4.

The image above is a supposed leak for the upcoming Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 and it shows the Redmi Note 4 with a dual camera setup.
The LED flash is placed between the cameras and the MI logo is located towards the bottom.

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 features a metal unibody design, visible antenna bands at the top and bottom of the device, and there is no fingerprint scanner on the back side of the device so if there will be one, it will most likely be integrated into the physical home button on the front, same as the MI 5.

Unfortunately, the specs of the Xiaomi redmi note 4 was not Leaked along with the image but according to a reliable source, the Xiaomi redmi note 4 will have a screen slightly larger than 5.5 inches(maybe 5.7, just a guess), it will be powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 652 SoC and will have 3GB of RAM and 16GB internal storage.

This is all we know about the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 so far but I will update you as the details unravel.

Gionee M6 Coming Soon With 4GB RAM And Fingerprint Scanner

 Without a doubt, the Gionee M5 is one of the hottest device in the market right now. To continue the streak, Gionee is bringing Gionee M6,  a Gionee M5 upgrade real soon.

Gionee M6, Gionee's next device has already passed a certification test by TENAA and is set to launch on July 26th.

Gionee M6 Rumored Specs

• 5.5-inch full HD (1920 × 1080p) AMOLED display
• Dimensions: 152.3 × 75.3 × 8.4 mm

• Weight :185 grams
• 1.8GHz octa-core snapdragon 652 processor
• Android 6.0 Marshmallow
• 4GB RAM
• 32GB internal storage
• 13-megapixel back camera with LED flash
• 8- megapixel front camera
• Fingerprint scanner
• Dual SIM, 4G with VoLTE, Bluetooth, USB, WiFi, and GPS
• 5000mAh battery

One thing I like about the Gionee M6 is the drop in weight, the Gionee M5 weighs 215grams which is a bit too heavy for me.
The reduced battery capacity is most likely responsible for the reduced weight, the Gionee M5 had a battery capacity of 6020mah.

Whatever You Do, DO NOT Install FLASH KEYBOARD

Android is an open-source OS meaning people can tweak the OS and change a few things. While this is my favorite feature of Android, sometimes it might work against you as it also makes it easier for hackers and Malwares to access private information on your device.

A few weeks ago, I told you about one of the most dreadful malwares in Android history, the godless apps.

In today's post, I will be telling you another app you should avoid by all means!

Today's culprit is Flash Keyboard, a very popular third-party keyboard app with over 50 million installs and a 4.3 rating on Google play store but DO NOT be deceived by these numbers.

A UK-based cyber-security firm, Pentest discovered Flash Keyboard to be asking for Too much permissions, displaying infected ads, asking for administrative privileges in order to make Uninstaller the app difficult, tracking user behavior, and then sending the data to servers in China without the user’s permission.

In more simple words, Flash Keyboard app is spying on Android users and security experts have already classified the app as a “malware.”

Pentest discovered that the app requires unwanted access such as access to a phone’s Bluetooth connection, WiFi status, geo-location feature, which a normal keyboard app would not require.

Also, the app would ask for access to kill background processes, read your SMS messages, show system overlays, or remove download notifications. Pentest says there is no reasons for a keyboard app to need all these permissions.

Flash Keyboard also asks for device admin permissions, and it uses these powers to take over your smartphone’s lock screen and show ads even if you don't allow it.

To make matter worse, Flash Keyboard secretly transfers data to unidentified servers based in China and other foreign countries.
 Flash Keyboard also transmits sensitive user data such as the owner’s email address, device manufacturer, Model number, IMEI number and Android version to what it believes to be analytics servers in the US, Netherlands and China.

It also sends details of the current connected Wi-Fi network and other networks in its range, identity of the mobile network being used and GPS coordinates(Location) of the user.

In summary, save yourself from all these troubles and DON'T install FLASH KEYBOARD!
It's not like it even has good functions..
If you need a good third-party keyboard app, I recommend you use SwiftKey.

Google Reveals Official Name For Android N

Google has finally announced the official name for this year's Android N operating system.

Earlier this year, several rumors suggested that Android N would be called Nutella however Google had something different in mind.
The next version of Android is officially named Android Nougat 7.0.
A ceremony held at the Googleplex this morning showed the Android mascot standing on top of a nougat bar.

Unfortunately, the announcement did not come with an official launch date.

A nougat is a chewy candy bar with a mixture of roasted nuts and bits of fruit within.

Last month, Google allowed people to suggest what Android N should be called, it appears they did use the results - at least they said they did.

If you ask me though, I think Nougat is a really terrible name choice.

Before I forget, Happy new month guys!

Leaked Specifications Of Samsung Note 7

The Samsung Note 7 is Samsung's next flagship device. It was supposed to be called the Galaxy Note 6 but Samsung had to move a year quicker so that the Note series would catch up with the S-series thereby changing this year's Note to the Samsung Note 7 instead of the Note 6.

A popular leaker Evan Blass popularly known on twitter as @Evleaks recently released a list of specs the Galaxy Note 7 will be coming with.

• 5.7″ QHD AMOLED display
• 64GB internal storage with microSD support
• Dual 12MP Rear camera
• 5MP Front-facing Camera 
• IP68 certification
• Color options: black/silver/blue
• Iris Scanner

According to rumors, the Galaxy Note 7 would be launched on August 2. 

There's currently no official image of the device yet but I guess we'll know what it looks when it lauches.

Infinix Hot S With Incredible Specs Coming Soon

Sometime last month, the image of an infinix device that has a fingerprint scanner leaked online. We assumed that the device was going to be the Note 3 because the Infinix Zero line already has a third edition and the Infinix Hot family has Hot 3 so we thought the next infinix device would be the Note 3.

Contrary to public thought, the device is actually the Infinix Hot S(according to rumors online) and it is said to be packing a lot of impressive specifications.

According to rumors, the Infinix Hot S will have a design similar to the design of the Infinix Zero 2 but this time, the company has decided to go with an all metal body.

The major selling point of the Infinix Hot S will be an 8MP front camera with LED flash. Aside from the front camera, other impressive specifications of the Infinix Hot S include; a MediaTek Helio X10 processor, 3GB of RAM, FingerPrint Scanner and VR support. The Infinix Hot S is also said to come preloaded with infinix new custom interface XOS.

With these incredible specifications, the only thing I can is "So far so good".
