LG Trademarks hints at Foldable Phone name ahead of January reveal

By

We all know a bit about Samsung and Huawei's attempts to develop a foldable phone. However, LG's plans have been flying under the radar. So far we have heard very little about the device, which makes three recent LG trademarks that appear to relate to foldable phone all the more exciting. 
As spotted by LetsGoDigital (via Engadget), the company has applied to trademark the names Flex, Foldi and Duplex. LG made the applications on November 21 at the European Union Intellectual Property Office. 
We don't know for sure if these names relate to foldable phones, though the category LG made fillings includes smartphones. Considering we know LG is developing a foldable phone, it seems pretty likely that this is what the trademarks related to. 
Of course, even if the names do relate to phones, it doesn't mean one of them will be used for final device ( if that were the case, we'd all be familiar with the LG G Edge phone and its Super Edge display by now). 
None of the names the company is trying to trademark are especially noteworthy (kinda like the ones Huawei is repoterdly considering), though Flex seems like a reasonable possibility for the device given that LG has already established the G Flex brand name. This was used for flexible smartphones of another kind, so Flex seems like an appropriate name.
The only other rumours we have about the LG phone come from Evan Blass, who recently suggested the company will unveil its first foldable device at CES 2019 in January. Interestingly, this was also the launch place for the LG G Flex 2. Samsung and Huawei are tipped to launch their flexible phones in February.

First Camera Samples by the 48MP Camera of the Honor View 20

By
Yesterday,  Honor announced  a bunch of new tech that's supposed to make it to its future smartphones and the 48MP camera sensor is one of them it takes advantage of the Quad Bayer tech. The camera uses Sony's IMX586 CMOS sensor with 0.8 micron pixel size. It will surely be part of the upcoming Honor View 20. Thanks to its Quad Bayer method that stacks four adjustment 2x2 pixels into the same colour, photos appear sharper and without much noise even challenging low-light scenarios. To show off its amazing capabilities, Honor published a bucketload of camera samples some of which are in black and white using the full 48MP resolution. Here are the some of sample shots Honor View 20 sample photos Honor View 20 sample photos Honor View 20 sample photos Honor View 20 sample photos Honor View 20 sample photos

Xiaomi Black Shark Helo, Gaming Phone Goes on Sale Early

By
Xiaomi's  Black Shark Helo  gaming phone was  announced a week ago  and the release date was supposed to be November 10, but it appears that the handset is arriving a bit early. A lot earlier, in fact. In a Weibo post, Lei Jun, Xiaomi's founder, announced that the official Mi online store will start selling the phone as early as today. The flash sale begins at 8PM local time and as far as we can tell from the post, it's the second one for today. Unfortunately, the 10GB version is still not here to be found and the store is offering the 8GB/128GB and the 6GB/128GB configurations only. The 6GB model will sell for CNY 3,199 ($459) while the asking price of the 8GB alteration is CNY 3,499 ($502). Just make sure you are one of the first in line because stock won't last.
