Ever since its entry to the Indian market, Xiaomi and its products have been the talk of the town. The Chinese smartphone manufacturer couldn't have asked for a better start with the company managing to sell more than 1 million units in just a few months from the time they began their operations. The latest war horse from Xiaomi is the Redmi Note 4G. As the name suggests the Note 4G is basically the LTE variant of the original Redmi Note. However, the company has changed the processor of the device and has gone with a Qualcomm chipset for the 4G variant. Since there’s a significant change under-the-hood, we decided to take the device for a spin and check if it’s any different from the original MediaTek model.

Samsung will trim down TouchWiz by removing bloatware apps for its upcoming devices, according to a report from SamMobile. TouchWiz is Samsung's own software that is present over Android. The report said that Samsung is removing most add-ons to TouchWiz that can be reconfigured as downloadable apps. It will only keep those stand-alone applications, which would normally be on the handset right out of the box and traditionally need to be updated. Samsung's aim is to offer these extra apps to customers who want them and not force them. Hence apps like Story Album, S Voice and others should see downloadable options. The latest report comes at time when it is touted that Galaxy S6 will have a toned down version of TouchWiz. Yesterday, a report stated that Samsung Galaxy S6 and S Edge will be compatible with Gear VR support.

If you're looking for the next-generation display in your next Huawei smartphone, you may be disappointed as the Chinese manufacturer as advanced displays come with a battery life compromise that the company isn't willing to accept. FoneArena spoke to Kevin Ho, President of the Handset Product Line at Huawei, in a special briefing at Huawei's Shanghai campus where he explained the trade-off the company is facing with adopting next-generation displays. "On the large screen 4k is very good but on a smaller smartphone display of five to six inches, maybe our eyes cannot tell the difference between this and 2k." "4k needs a lot of power, so if you use it you have to make compromises. A 4k display on a smartphone may give you half a day of battery life but a 2k display can give you maybe one day or more." "4k has four times the pixels of Full HD so the power consumption is maybe 4 or 8 times as much as Full HD so the smartphone has to have compromises with battery life." That being said however, Huawei isn't ruling out the possibility of 4k devices in the future as it acknowledges it will provide the best possible experience and ...
