Apple’s shares fell nearly 3 per cent on Thursday on signs of weak demand for the iPhone 8 that caused analysts and investors to question the company’s staggered release strategy for its latest phones.

Verizon Communication Inc's CFO Matt Ellis said the quantity of second from last quarter telephone updates fell versus earlier years, yet that he expected a redesign surge when the iPhone X is discharged. 

"I think what you're seeing there is a distinction in timing of a portion of the new gadgets turning out versus what we've verifiably observed," Ellis told a profit call. 


"As we get into the Christmas season, some of those new gadgets turn out, we figure we will see solid request." 

The vulnerability about request combined with a Taiwan media report of a cut in iPhone 8 creation pushed Apple shares down 2.8 for each penny by noontime. 

"The Road is easily affected to any hindrances around this next iPhone cycle and (that) addresses the automatic response we are finding in shares," said Daniel Ives, boss system officer at GBH Bits of knowledge in New York. 


"iPhone 8 request has been normally delicate out of the doors with the headliner being the iPhone X dispatch toward the beginning of November. (Be that as it may, this is the early innings of what we accept is the greatest iPhone item cycle with X driving the way." 

US remote bearer AT&T said a week ago its second from last quarter postpaid handset updates were around about 900,000 from a year prior. 

Production network 


Apple never again gives normal reports on deals numbers, yet signs from supply channels, remote bearers and investigators help shed light on request. 

At the point when Apple reported the arrangement to discharge the two telephones previously the finish of 2017, fans were frustrated they would need to sit tight until November for the iPhone X. 

In any case, there are likewise worries that the more costly telephone denoting the iPhone's tenth commemoration may see a quieted gathering contrasted with the free for all that regularly welcomes Apple telephone dispatches. 


A transporter store study proposed the less expensive iPhone 7 was surpassing its successor only a month after iPhone 8's dispatch, KeyBanc Capital Markets investigator John Vinh said for the current week.

Vivo entered the growing smartphone market in Pakistan with the launch of its flagship device Vivo V7 Plus earlier this month.

The Chinese company sent in a testing device for the review purpose. Before proceeding with our review, here are the specs:

Vivo’s latest flagship device is nearly a 6-inch phablet with narrow bezels and a FullView display with 84.4% screen to the body ratio. The one we received was in Matte Black  colour. The phone is powered by a 1.8GHz octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 along with 4GB RAM, 64GB of internal storage with the option of an expandable memory of up to 256GB via microSD card.

V7 Plus is equipped with a 24-megapixel front camera with group selfie and portrait mode along with a 16-megapixel rear camera. Vivo’s latest flagship device runs on customised Funtouch OS 3.2 which is based on Android’s Nougat 7.1.

The smartphone is available in the market for Rs 35,999.

Design and user interface

Normally, when you think about a device with a 5.9-inch screen, you would expect a huge device that some people might get difficulty in holding it. Vivo has been able to fit a near 6” FullView display on comparatively a smaller V7 Plus body owing to near its bezel-less design and 18:9 aspect ratio. The phone is just 7.7mm thick and weighs 160gm, therefore, it doesn’t really feel bulky.

While the device large FullView display is perfect for watching videos and playing games, the 1,440 x 720 screen resolution along with pixel density of just 269ppi is a let down.

V7 Plus has plastic back cover but it’s premium finish give the impression of metal back.

On the bottom of the device, you have the 3.5mm headphone slot, Micro-USB port and a speaker grille. Vivo’s decision to stick with the micro-USB port instead of going for USB-C type is questionable as more and more of the smartphone makers are opting for USB-C.

On right side of the device you have power button and volume rocker, while the SIM slot is placed on left. V7 Plus is a dual-SIM phone and has a dedicated slot for microSD card so you won’t have to trade off between using two SIMs and having extendable memory.

Vivo’s latest flagship device runs on customised Funtouch OS 3.2 which is based on Android’s Nougat 7.1. The User Interface (UI) looks inspired from Apple’s mobile operating system iOS. The UI also has a Control Centre which can be brought on screen by swiping up from the bottom of the screen and is customisable.

Camera

Vivo’s V7 Plus, equipped with what the company calls ‘World’s first 24 Megapixel Selfie camera’ with f/2.0 aperture, lives up to its promise of helping you take ‘clearer selfie’. Though it has a front flash, the camera is capable of taking great photos in low light without even using the flash.

If you are one of those people who love to take selfies with their friends and families, then V7 Plus’ panoramic wide-angle selfie feature got you covered. You can take wider selfies by simply moving the phone. Beside these features, you also get the usual beauty mode that is even available for video calls in addition to Portrait Mode.

Back camera of the phone is of 16MP and has an aperture of f2.0. Vivo has added bunch of features to the camera including Ultra HD, Professional Mode which lets you control exposure, white balance etc. One of the interesting camera features is Live Photo option, it records a few seconds of video with the image. Just ‘tap and hold’ to play it. This might sounds familiar because it is similar iPhone’s Live Photos feature.

Hardware and performance

V7 Plus is powered by Snapdragon 450 processor with Cortex-A53 CPU and Qualcomm’s own Adreno 506 GPU along with 4GB of RAM and 64gigs of internal storage which is expandable up to 256GB via microSD card. During the testing, we didn’t face any problem switching between apps and playing games.

However, Vivo’s decision to go with an Snapdragon 450 processor is a let down as considering the price tag of Rs35,999 the device should have come with at least Snapdragon’s better processors like 625.

Powered by a non-removable 3225 mAh lithium-ion battery, the device is guaranteed to get an average user through out the day with an average of 25-30 per cent battery life left.

Biometric security

Vivo V7 Plus comes equipped with fingerprint sensor, which has become one of the key security features in mid-range devices. The sensor is placed on the back of the device just under the back camera.

Once setup, the fingerprint sensor is the quickest way to unlock your phone. You can also use it to take selfies.

Verdict

All in all, Vivo V7 Plus lives up to its reputation as a selfie phone. While Vivo’s decision to go with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 and low pixel density of 269ppi is a let down, the device’s 24 megapixel wide-angle front camera capable of taking clear pictures in even low light conditions makes it a device for those who love to up their selfie game.

Sleek design and display

The six-inch screen features an 18:9 aspect ratio with a resolution of 2,880 × 1,440, just like the G6 — although it differs in one significant way. Whereas the G6’s panel was LCD, the V30’s is OLED. It is a new direction for LG and in line with the way the industry is heading, thanks to the technology’s ability to provide more vivid colors, perfect blacks, and dynamically conserve battery.

It is also a departure from a trend established in previous V-series devices — the second display. Unlike the V20 and the V10 before it, the V30 does not have a “ticker” above the primary screen, beside the front-facing camera. The full-face display negates the need for it, the company claims and it replaced the shortcuts and action previously stored there with a software solution — a floating quick actions bar that can be revealed or hidden at any time.
Flagship specs and class-leading audio

One of the ways the V30 differentiates itself is in its audio system. Similar to last year’s V20, LG has fitted the V30 with an upgraded 32-bit Quad DAC system for richer, more accurate sound. We loved what we heard from the phone’s predecessor, and LG is the only mainstream manufacturer really innovating the listening experience in this way, so we hope the implementation is spot-on once again. The phone will also stream high-resolution audio in a way that conserves more data.

Sadly, the V30 won’t follow the V20’s footsteps to be the first smartphone to launch with the latest version of Android. You won’t find Android 8.0 Oreo on the V30, but Android 7.1.2 instead. LG has confirmed it is already working on bringing the update to the V30 shortly after the phone launches. LG does have its own theme over Android, and you’ll see some new special features like Voice Imprint, which lets you unlock your phone with a pre-selected voice phrase; and a facial recognition feature lets you unlock the V30 with your face. Google Assistant is also on-board, and LG has worked with the search giant to offer commands tied to the cameras that only work on the V30.
Promising dual cameras

LG also implemented a new technology with the V30 known as Point and Zoom. Simply tap an object on the screen and a slider will appear, allowing you to close in on that aspect of the frame first using the wide-angle lens, before switching to the normal one, and then using digital zoom. It should be a handy feature for producing fun videos and blends the V30’s two cameras in a seamless, intuitive way. It works in a new camera mode in the V30 called Cine Video, which offers a number of color graded themes designed around movie genres. These are added to videos before you start filming.
Improved durability

One of the V20’s weak points was its lack of durability. Although it complies with a variety of military standard tests, it isn’t water resistant — putting it at a disadvantage next to the Apple iPhone 7 and Samsung Galaxy S7. Part of that was due to the removable battery and back cover, which has been removed this time around. Sealing the components has allowed the V30 to achieve that IP68 rating. We feel it is a worthy trade-off.

Additionally, the V30 utilizes a combination of Corning’s Gorilla Glass 5 on both sides, and Gorilla Glass 4 over the camera lenses to keep the device scratch and shatter-free. LG also says it improved the handset’s heat management and dispersion — something phone makers do not typically point out, which is an encouraging sign.
Release date and availability

We are still awaiting information from carriers and retailers regarding the V30’s availability and price, and we will update this section as we hear more.

After the V30 is official, customers in South Korea will likely be able to pre-order the phone first. Prior to Thursday’s reveal, Android Authority reported pre-orders would begin in the region on September 15, with the U.S. following on September 17, and then the rest of the world on September 28.

Samsung Galaxy J7 Nxt specifications

New Delhi: Chinese smartphone maker Huawei`s sub-brand Honor is likely to launch its next smartphone with four cameras and edge-to-edge display, an industry first, around Diwali.
Honor India is working to bring front and rear dual camera systems and bezel-less display in their upcoming smartphone -- similar to what we saw on the recently-launched Huawei "Maimang 6" in China, industry sources told IANS on Wednesday.
The company has also launched a contest named "See Yourself With 2 Eyes" that asks users to share their best selfies, which further indicates the brand may introduce a camera-centric smartphone.
The trend of bezel-less displays started earlier this year with the launch of smartphones such as Samsung Galaxy S8, S8+ and LG G6.
Earlier this month, Huawei introduced its flagship `Kirin 970` chipset which can perform artificial intelligence (AI) computing tasks faster using far less power.
`Kirin 970` chipset has its own AI processor built-in.
"Huawei is committed to developing smart devices into intelligent devices by building end-to-end capabilities that support coordinated development of chips, devices and the Cloud," said Richard Yu, CEO of Huawei Consumer Business Group.

We’ve heard over the past few years that Samsung is developing a foldable smartphone. It’s believed to be an outward-folding handset. Samsung hasn’t confirmed anything about the device but recent reports suggest that it might be out in a few months.

Android Oreo has long been in the public domain in beta form, so we’ve had a good idea of what new features it includes as far back as I/O 2017. That didn’t take the shine off of Google’s official Android O reveal, though – now that final details of the Android 8 update have been confirmed, there’s more reason to be excited than ever.
