Huawei Mate 10 Now Features Face Unlock

One of the features that we love on the Huawei P20 and P20 Pro is the face unlock. This gives you another way of unlocking the smartphone aside from the fingerprint scanner of the smartphone and in the Huawei Mate 10 series, we didn’t see this feature but thankfully, an update is coming to add face unlock security to the Mate 10 series.

After the creation facial profile, you will have two options to use the face unlock update of the smartphone — Direct Unlock and Slide to unlock. Direct unlock lets you unlock the smartphone when the screen is turned on while slide to unlock requires the user to do a swipe gesture to unlock the device after the face has been recognized.

I’m actually happy to see that Huawei is continually upgrading their smartphones even though the Huawei P20 series is already out in the market. This just shows that the company is committed to bringing new updates to their smartphones.

OPPO Find X: No Notch and features a Motorized Front Camera

OPPO has finally unveiled their most powerful and most innovative smartphone yet – the OPPO Find X. The smartphone is the sexiest OPPO smartphone and probably the sexiest Android in the market right now as it ditches the notch on the display and it uses a motorized front camera instead. Not just that, the smartphone also features a curved display similar to the Galaxy S9.

The smartphone will have a screen-to-body ratio of 93.8% which is amazing. It was achieved as the smartphone’s camera system is hidden in plain sight when off or when the camera is close but if you turn on the camera app of the smartphone, the camera section will motorize up and it will reveal the 25-megapixel front camera, 3D facial scanning system and the 16-megapixel + 20-megapixel dual rear camera of the smartphone. Don’t worry too much about it as the smartphone can open in just 0.5 seconds.

The smartphone doesn’t have a fingerprint scanner but the 3D facial scanner can do the job to authenticate your face. Oh and there’s a new feature too called 3D Omoji that lets you create your own images and create your own avatar.

Inside the smartphone is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 Processor, 8GB RAM, up to 256GB of storage and a 3730mAh battery with VOOC fast charging. Of course, the smartphone will still run on Color OS on Android 8.1

The OPPO Find X will be available in China today and it is expected to be available in the Philippines too soon.

Resident Evil 2 Remake Gameplay Demo is Terrifying AF

Resident Evil 2 which was originally released in PSX two decades ago (Yep, 20 years ago because we’re old) will now get a remake. The Resident Evil 2 Remake will now feature a third-person over the shoulder view which was seen on games like Resident Evil 2 Revelations and yes, you’ll still be able to play both Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield at Raccoon City that we all miss.

Recently, Capcom has also released a gameplay demo of the remake and damn, it does look really good and really terrifying. The gameplay video also showed most of the elements in the original game but are now in a better graphics. Not only that, the game is also a darker environment that relies on a flashlight for visual and damn, the zombies on the game do look terrifying than ever. Check out the gameplay demo by Gamespot below.

Vivo NEX A & NEX S Unveiled: Full Screen Displays with Periscope-like front camera

Vivo has finally unveiled their most awaited smartphone — the Vivo NEX A and the Vivo NEX S. Both smartphones will sport an Ultra FullView Display as they call it with a whopping 6.59-inch display with 91.24% screen-to-body ratio. The display aspect ratio is kinda odd at 19.3:9 with a resolution of FHD+ (2316×1080).

The Vivo NEX S will be the more powerful variant and it will also sport an under-display fingerprint scanner while the Vivo NEX A will be the more affordable one with a slower Snapdragon 710 processor and also a fingerprint scanner that is placed at the back of the smartphone instead of the under display fingerprint scanner. Both smartphones also lose the notch and also now sport a full-screen display thanks to the periscope-like front camera of the smartphone.

Those are definitely a flagship hardware inside for the NEX S while the NEX A is the more affordable variant with a fingerprint scanner at the back instead to make it cheaper and also a slower Snapdragon 710 Processor.

I really applaud Vivo that they are innovating on removing the notch for their smartphones. However, I’m worried with the camera’s moving parts.

No word regarding local availability as of publsihing time.
