Vivo smartphone with high screen-to-body ratio and flip-up camera hits the web

Vivo carriers the credits for being the first smartphone brand to make use of the Synaptics Clear ID under-display fingerprint sensor. Well, the talk is about the Vivo X20 Plus UD. While the other companies such as Apple and Samsung are struggling to come up with such smartphones, it looks like Vivo is already working on another device with an in-screen fingerprint sensor.

A photo of a mysterious Vivo smartphone has been leaked on Weibo. From the leaked photo, it looks like the device will have a very high screen-to-body ratio that was never seen before. Also, it is believed to feature an in-display fingerprint sensor.

As of now, there is no information regarding the specifications and name of this unknown Vivo smartphone. The photo shows that the bottom has a relatively thicker bezel while those are the sides and top are pretty thin. This shows that the screen-to-body ratio will be over 95%. The screen size of this smartphone remains unknown but it looks like the aspect ratio of the display will be 18:9 as the display appears to be elongated.

As the top bezel is quite thin, it looks like there is not enough room for the selfie camera, sensors and earpiece. We have already seen such a situation with the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 that made the company position the selfie camera at the bottom bezel. However, Vivo appears to have taken a different route as there appears to no selfie camera at the bottom bezel.

At a time when selfies have become the trend and other manufacturers coming up with selfie-centric smartphones, the absence of a front-facing camera sensor on this alleged Vivo smartphone makes us doubt the authenticity of this leaked photo. However, there is a possibility for this smartphone to have a single rear camera with the flip-up functionality so that it can double as the selfie camera too.

New Honor smartphone with quad cameras

Honor, the sub-brand of Huawei has already announced two smartphones with quad cameras and these are the Honor 9i and Honor 9 Lite. Now, it looks like the company is prepping yet another smartphone with the quad-camera setup. We say so as a mysterious Honor smartphone has visited the TENAA certification database in China with the model number LND-AL30.

Going by the TENAA database, there is no information when it comes to the specifications of the Honor smartphone carrying the model number LND-AL30. However, the images those have been revealed by the certification website shed light on its design.It is speculated that the device could be a toned-down variant of the bestselling mid-ranger - the Honor 7X.

From the images, we get to know that the alleged Honor smartphone will sport a metallic rear panel featuring dual cameras along with LED flash and a fingerprint sensor as well. The front of the smartphone also has a dual camera setup and a tall and elongated display with an aspect ratio of 18:9. This makes us believe that the smartphone might be the third such quad-camera phone to be launched by Honor.

Though the specifications of the Honor smartphone LND-AL30 remain unknown for now, we can expect the same to be surface online in the near future. While there is no guess on the name of device from its model number, there are speculations that it could be a toned-down variant of the Honor 7X that could be launched as Honor 7C Pro or Honor V10 Play.

Lately, Honor announced the 9 Lite smartphone in India at a price point of Rs. 10,999 for the base variant with 3GB RAM and 32GB storage and Rs. 14,999 for the high-end variant with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage space. Having said that, we can expect the upcoming smartphone that is likely in the making to also be launched in the affordable market segment.

Having said that it could be a toned-down variant of the Honor 7X, this mysterious Honor smartphone with quad cameras is expected to be priced lesser than the 7X. However, we need to wait for an official confirmation from Honor regarding this smartphone.

Samsung Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9 leaked render shows Lilac Purple color variant

Samsung is pretty bad at keeping secrets, especially when it comes to its flagship smartphones. A few days back, reliable tipster Evan Blass had posted a render said to be of the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9 . The render showed the front panel of the smartphones, revealing their design. However, we didn't get to take a peek at their rear panels.

Well, Evan Blass is back again with another render of the Galaxy S9 duo. Unlike the previous picture, the latest leak shows the smartphones from various angles. Both the Samsung Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9 are sporting a Lilac Purple color, but the tipster says the smartphones will come in other color options as well.

Other than the Lilac Purple, there will be Midnight Black, Titanium Gray and Coral Blue variants. Talking about the design part, the Galaxy S9 is shown to feature a single rear camera accompanied by an LED flash. The fingerprint scanner is placed just below the camera module. You can also see the branding and the smartphone's name at the back.

The rear panel of the Galaxy S9 looks nearly identical to that of the Galaxy S9. That being said, the former is equipped with a dual camera setup at the back. The camera sensors are arranged vertically, with an LED flash on the right.

Coming to the front part, the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9 don't have much differences with their predecessors in terms of design. Of course, the bezels are slimmer now, but all in all they look pretty familiar.

Unfortunately, the tipster doesn't reveal the secondary image sensor that will be present on the device. Existing reports suggest that the Galaxy S9 duo's camera will have variable aperture where the lens can be shifted between two difference apertures.

With just a few weeks left for the Galaxy S9 series launch, we expect more leaks centering the smartphones to emerge in the coming days. So by the time the smartphones get officially unveiled, we would know almost everything about them.
