Despite Samsung's dominance in the Android world, it's Huawei that's making up ground faster than OnePlus, LG or Sony. Huawei has announced the P20 and P20 Pro at an event in Paris - two phones that look like an awful lot like the iPhone X. Hopefully these are not just copycat phones, though. With top of the line specs, superb design traits and genuinely innovative camera set ups (particularly on the triple lens Pro), the P20 and P20 Pro are pushing the envelope in terms of Android hardware. It's worth noting that Huawei has changed up its model naming system. The logical name for this year's range was the Huawei P11, following on from the P10, but the firm has jumped to P20 instead. The expected P20 Lite was not mentioned at the event but it does exist. Here's all you want to know about the Huawei P20 range.

2017 had been a year of bezel-less displays and dual cameras. The pace at which smartphones have evolved can put every other industry to shame. It will be interesting to see what's in store for 2018. The new year can bring us more refined existing technologies and a few possible disruptors that can change the way a smartphone looks. The bezel-less display might give way to bendable displays. Samsung has been working on the technology since quite some time and is expected to reveal a commercially viable model this year.On the conventional front, there are a lot of devices lined-up for launch in the year 2018 and given that the year 2017 was all for bezel-less displays and dual-lens cameras, we expect the same technology to develop more finesse for the end-user. <script async src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({ google_ad_client: "ca-pub-...

This might be how the OnePlus 6 might look like. At first, the image will definitely remind you of the OnePlus 3 or OnePlus 3T. The metal band with chamfered edges is similar to the older models of OnePlus. However, one obvious give away for the new phone is the placement of a finger print sensor on the rear panel and the textured back. The picture has been leaked by a credible source, Evan Blass or popular as @evleaks on Twitter. Though there's not much to go about, this picture clears the misconception that the OnePlus 6 will be similar to the Oppo R15. OnePlus is likely to bring back the design language of the OnePlus 3T but the screen is still expected to come with a notch and extremely slim bezels. Similar to the OnePlus 5T, the device in this picture comes with a fingerprint scanner on the rear panel. The dual camera setup, however, has been shifted to a more central position above the scanner. An interesting twist is the wooden textured back. OnePlus has been popu...

Moto is expected to launch its 2018 line of smartphones soon. Just last month we saw leaked images of the Moto G6 smartphones and now images of an alleged Moto E5 Plus are doing rounds on the internet. Going by the images leaked on Weibo, the Moto E5 Plus may feature a workshop 18: 9 aspect ratio display with a supposed 1440 x 720p resolution. The phone seems to have a glossy finish all around with the Moto logo at the back which might double up a fingerprint scanner. The rear image of the phone also reveals that it may feature a dual camera setup at the back. There is not much else to go on as the image is bad, but if this is a replacement to the current E-series, it is most certainly a better-designed phone. <script async src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({ google_ad_client: "ca-pub-3432228473272888", enable_page_level_ads: t...
