Huawei May Launch Smartphone Similar To Galaxy S6 Edge In 2016

Huawei has significantly improved its position in the global smartphone market over the past few years, the company now happens to be the third largest smartphone vendor in the world and it has no plans of stopping any time soon. To gain more traction across the globe the company needs to come up with really good devices that get people talking, according to a report Huawei might release one such device next year which is going to be quite similar to the Galaxy S6 Edge.

The report comes out of China from a well known source, apparently Huawei is going to produce three million units per month next year of a new smartphone that has the same dual-edge Quad HD Super AMOLED display as the Galaxy S6 Edge.

Not much information is available about the device’s specifications right now and we might not hearing anything substantial until next year, the report only says that its dual-edge curved Quad HD Super AMOLED display will come from Samsung.

Samsung is already believed to be supplying the exact same display panel to BlackBerryfor its Venice slider smartphone so there’s nothing stopping the company really from supplying this panel to Huawei as well.

Huawei has not commented on the report.

Possible Huawei Honor 5X Spotted

I know that Google just released their LG Nexus 5X, but here is another handset that might just carry the 5X suffix – the Honor 5X from Huawei, of course. This metal clad smartphone has already picked up its TENAA certification that will see it accompanied by model number KIW-AL10. There is a very real probability that this could very well be the Huawei Honor 5X, taking into consideration how the Huawei Honor 4Xwas introduced earlier in the year, which means the upgrade cycle is about to come one round.

The KIW-AL10 will sport a 5.5” display alongside a Full HD resolution, with a pixel density of 401ppi. Apart from that, the Snapdragon 615 SoC will power the device, where it boasts of an octa-core CPU and an Adreno 405 GPU. Accompanying it will be 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal memory, with a 13MP shooter behind and a 5MP camera in front, while there is a fingerprint scanner located at the back for security purposes. Expect the device to arrive with Android 5.1.1 Lollipop right out of the box. It has already been benchmarked on AnTuTu while picking up a score of 20916 that places it in the mid-range scale of things. All that we can do now is sit tight and wait to see whether this is indeed the Huawei Honor 5X or not.

Rumor Suggests That The iPhone 7 Will Be Waterproof

Is it a bit too early to start talking about the iPhone 7? After all the iPhone 6s and 6s Plushave barely gone on sale for a week! That being said we suppose some of you guys who are skipping the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus for the iPhone 7 are probably eager to learn what could be in store for Apple’s 2016 flagship.

To that end, a new rumor from China has emerged which suggests that Apple could be interested in waterproofing its next-gen smartphone. The rumors also claim that Apple will not use the 7000 series aluminum but an even stronger material that will somehow be able to prevent water from seeping inside the device.

All of this seems highly suspect because if anything, Apple has designed its products with aesthetics in mind. Compromising on its looks for more functional features like better drop protection and waterproofing has never really been Apple’s practice, so we’re not sure why they would start with the iPhone 7.

In fact if anything, last we heard Apple was planning on making the iPhone 7 its thinnest iPhone yet, so clearly aesthetics still plays a huge role in the planning and designing process. Either way do take it with a grain of salt for now, but would a waterproof iPhone be something you might be interested in?
