iQOO 8 key features teased ahead of launch on August 2

iQOO 8 is all set to launch on August 2 in China and some of its key features have been teased by the company in the run-up to the official unveiling. The Vivo sub-brand released the iQOO 7 and the iQOO 7 Legend in India earlier this year in April and is now preparing to launch its successor next week. There is currently no word on the launch of the iQOO 8 in India but we wouldn’t be surprised if it arrives towards the end of this year.

The company has also revealed that the upcoming iQOO 8 will feature a 2K E5 AMOLED display with LTPO technology and variable refresh rate support going up to 120Hz. This information comes via popular tipster Abhishek Yadav who posted a screenshot from the company’s Weibo handle. Having said that, the display size is yet to be revealed by the company. The iQOO 7 series has a 6.62-inch display and iQOO 8 will likely stick to that.

The iQOO 8 was also rumoured to support 160W fast charging but it was quickly dismissed. The latest leak suggests that the phone will support 120W fast charging and will be equipped with a 4,000mAh battery. It will run on Android 11 based Origin OS and will be available with 256GB storage.

iQOO has been teasing some key features of its upcoming iQOO 8 and has confirmed that it will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888+ processor which made its debut in June with marginal improvements over the already powerful Snapdragon 888.

We will know more about the iQOO 8 as we near its launch date which is scheduled on August 2.

This week in Android: It’s weird phone week

We got to play with a lot of cool tech at CES 2019 , but little was cooler than the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 . Qualcomm had a reference device sporting the new SoC and we were able to put it through its paces , including our very own Speed Test G . The results are impressive. In other big news this week, we found out Motorola is planning on bringing back the Razr phone , made famous in the mid 2000s. We don’t know a lot about the phone itself, but we can make some guesses based on a patent from August of last year. Plus, we look ahead at the future of LG and OnePlus , including a new peculiar accessory for LG . Also, we have good news and bad news about Huawei’s security.

My product launch wishlist for Instagram, Twitter, Uber and more

‘Twas the night before Xmas, and all through the house, not a feature was stirring from the designer’s mouse . . . Not Twitter! Not Uber, Not Apple or Pinterest! On Facebook! On Snapchat! On Lyft or on Insta! . . . From the sidelines I ask you to flex your code’s might. Happy Xmas to all if you make these apps right. Instagram See More Like This – A button on feed posts that when tapped inserts a burst of similar posts before the timeline continues. Want to see more fashion, sunsets, selfies, food porn, pets, or Boomerangs? Instagram’s machine vision technology and metadata would gather them from people you follow and give you a dose. You shouldn’t have to work through search, hashtags, or the Explore page, nor permanently change your feed by following new accounts. Pinterest briefly had this feature (and should bring it back) but it’d work better on Insta. Web DMs – Instagram’s messaging feature has become the defacto place for sharing memes and trash talk about peopl...

First ever drone-delivered kidney is no worse for wear

Drone delivery really only seems practical for two things: take-out and organ transplants. Both are relatively light and also extremely time sensitive. Well, experiments in flying a kidney around Baltimore in a refrigerated box have yielded positive results — which also seems promising for getting your pad thai to you in good kit. The test flights were conducted by researchers at the University of Maryland there, led by surgeon Joseph Scalea. He has been frustrated in the past with the inflexibility of air delivery systems, and felt that drones represent an obvious solution to the last-mile problem. Scalea and his colleagues modified a DJI M600 drone to carry a refrigerated box payload, and also designed a wireless biosensor for monitoring the organ while in flight. After months of waiting, their study was assigned a kidney that was healthy enough for testing but not good enough for transplant. Once it landed in Baltimore, the team loaded it into the container and had it travel 14 ...
