Report: Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 to Launch in Q2 2018 with Dual Cameras

The international variant of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 launched in January 2017, and it went on to become India’ best-selling smartphone of 2017. It’s no surprising, then, that expectations are riding high on its successor, the Redmi Note 5.

Since late last year, rumors of the Redmi Note 5 have been flying around the internet. In October, a Xiaomi device with an 18:9 display was certified by TENAA, and in November, leaked photos of an 18:9 Xiaomi device appeared on social media. Most recently, in December, Xiaomi released the Redmi 5 and the Redmi 5 Plus in China with 18:9 (2:1) displays. The phones haven’t launched internationally yet, but this week, a MIUI moderator said that the Redmi 5 Plus would take the place of the rumored Redmi Note 5 in some markets.

However, that seems increasingly unlikely. A new rumor from China suggests that Xiaomi is set to announce the Redmi Note 5 this year. It’s reportedly being tested internally for a release in Q2 2018, but faces delays because of supply issues with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 632 system-on-chip.

According to the rumor, the Snapdragon 632 is a step down from the Snapdragon 636 chipset that was announced in October. It’s said to have a slightly lower clock speed and a slower GPU, but retain Qualcomm’s Spectra 160 ISP (image signal processor), which offers more robust support for dual-camera configurations compared to the Snapdragon 625’s image processor.

As far as the Redmi Note 5’s other specs are concerned, it’ll have a 5.99-inch display with an 18:9 aspect ratio (matching the display size of the Redmi 5 Plus) and small display bezels. It might feature a higher screen-to-body ratio than even the Redmi 5 Plus, though that’s not yet clear. Under the hood, it’ll pack 4GB of RAM and two storage configurations, 32GB and 64GB, plus dual rear cameras with two 12MP sensors (the secondary camera’s specs remain a mystery).

With regard to pricing, the Redmi Note 5 may retail for a bit more than its predecessor — reportedly at CNY 1599 (about $246). But it’s best to take it with a healthy dose of skepticism.

Google Camera Port with Portrait Mode now works on Samsung Galaxy S7, S8, and Note 8 (Exynos) Popular ports of the Pixel 2’s Google Camera bring Google’s post-processing technologies to a wide range of high-end devices.

Samsung Bixby Will Soon be Able to Count Calories in Food Applications such as  MyFitnessPal and other calorie counters help people monitor what eat throughout the day, which makes it easier to see how many calories they have left in their daily allotment. But measuring food portions on the go can be tough, which is why Samsung’s updating is Bixby assistant with the ability to estimate calories from photos of food. At the 2018 Consumer Electronics Show, Samsung’s demoing Bixby’s calorie-counting feature to attendees. It’s still in development right now, and occasionally has trouble identifying foodstuff — especially when there are multiple items on a single plate. But the company showed that it can tell the difference between dishes like a margarita pizza and a steak. Since Bixby isn’t using a special sensor to analyze nutritional content, there’s a bit of a variance in the actual calorie count versus what’s reported, and Samsung’s using “generic data” for food items. Still, it’s fas

Motorola Releases Android Oreo Kernel Sources for the Moto Z2 Force When it comes to releasing kernel sources, some manufacturers have a better track record than others. Android’s use of the GPLv2 license requires that all sources be released in a timely manner, but we continue to see violations . They’re bad for the affected devices because they hinder development, but they also harm Android and the open source community’s integrity,  which is why we’ve requested multiple OEMs to comply with the GPL and release kernel sources in the past. Motorola, which is owned by Lenovo, generally releases kernel sources for its devices on time — but  the company’s occasionally slipped . The Moto Z2 Force ‘s sources were released in September, two months after its launch. It’s the company’s newest flagship phone, and the Verizon and T-Mobile variants of the device recently received an update to Android 8.0 Oreo. That necessitated another release of kernel sources, and Motorola’s compiled, publ
