Iphone 6 announcement is just a couple of weeks away. Its design has already heated up the internet, we are here to rundown the rumored specification of the device:
- WiFi antenna to bring 802.11ac
- Near Field Communiction (NFC) inplementation
- Enhancements to the Touch ID
- A8 chip clocked at 2.0 GHz, first time for iPhones.
- Beats by Dr. Dre chip to detect Beats headphones are connects for appropriate audio enhancement
- HD audio through lightning cable
Apple’s iPhone 6 event is expected to happen on September 9.
From the invitation image we got above, there is an upcoming smartphone (possibly xperia Z3 and may be Z3 compact too) as well as new QX lens-style cameras. Rumours suggest that these devices gets announced and that QX lens-style camera will have 30x optioncal zoom. But the tablet is totally missing out in the picture. We’ll find it out as the event is scheduled for September 3rd.
The most talked about rumours is the Galaxy Note 4 of trying something very unusual with the phablet’s display. It’s rumoured to have flexible OLED display that has the screen flow beyond the phone’s frontal to the sides as well as presented in Samsung Youm display technology. Also, wrap-around Note 4 display version aren’t to be widely available suggesting that production may only be a limited trial run. The announcement date is 3rd September, so sit tight for couple of weeks until its announced.
Next up, Motorola’s next flapship (to be named Moto X+1) gets its specification through the benchmark. The processor revealed in the benchmark as Qualcomm’s MSM8974 chipset. Its creates confusion as it will be 800 or 801 since both uses same model number. 801 will probably be used as it tops out at 2.5GHz instead of 800’s 2.3 GHz. The only other thing known so far than processor is the RAM which happens to be 2GB. No official announcement date is given, but it can be expected to be within a month or two.
Microsoft Research is currently working on a new technology that brings haptic feedback to computer, tablet and smartphone displays. Haptic feedback as you type on a display is common, but instead of having the whole smartphone vibrate, the vibrations intend to give the display a feel of texture. The idea is for you to be able to feel the separation between one key and the other, or between one texture in the device’s UI and another. Tests from Microsoft Research have already proven that people type faster and handle themselves with more confidence around a mobile device when this feature is enabled, though there is a lot of miniaturization left to do with these sensors. Technology with positive & negative charge flowing around the screen helps to accomplish such feedbacks. Click here for the full video details.
Lastly, the rumor for today rounds up with Android’s next version release of Android L. Google could deliver a multi-user mode that works on phones as well as tablets. An issue report submitted to Google’s tracker earlier today made the latest demand for multi-user on phones, and this time Google responded, with a dev marking the issue closed and noting, “the development team has implemented this feature and it will be available as a part of the next public build.” However these multi-user support may not necessarily be same as to tablets and features it supports such as restricted profiles. But overall it sounds like Google is in right direction and all we have to do is wait to see how well it will be implemented.
