Xiaomi Redmi S2 Specifications

Xiaomi Redmi S2 Specs

Before I list the specs,I want to let out a few thoughts:
The Xiaomi Redmi S2 has had a lot of leaks in the past few weeks,and we probably know all it's specs way before it's launch on Thursday. This has probably got to have been the most leaked smartphone to date,topping even the Galaxy S9,which we reviewed here,so much that it even appeared on AliExpress,China's leading online store.

But that leak also conveniently gave us the specifications and design language.
First,we see the nicely designed and eye catching antenna lines ,and the vertically aligned dual camera set-up. Only God knows where they got that idea from,right? 
We also have the fingerprint sensor alignment which isn't anything new by the way. And yes,it'll probably be fast.

Now,the listing on AliExpress also shows us the screen size and resolution. And it's pretty bad. It's a 5.99 inch 720*1440 screen. Now,the fact that this is only HD+ resolution may seem like a big deal,but it would probably only cost so much,so you have no right to complain. It's also a modern 18:9 panel,so wider when in landscape,taller when in portrait.

Also,we see the return of the tried and tested Snapdragon 625 Processor. So basically you're getting 2016 performance in 2018. Before you complain,remember that this will be priced competitively.Also on the performance side of things,there's 3GB of RAM and 32GB of onboard storage as the base model. Pretty impressive.Do note that there is no information on whether or not there would be more storage and RAM variants.

For photography,there are 2 familiarly arranged cameras. One is a 12 MP primary and the other is a 5 MP secondary. No word on whether the secondary lens is used for producing the bokeh effect or is monochrome. Probably the former,hopefully the latter. There's a 16 MP selfie shooter in front. The phone also possesses AI Portrait and AI Beauty features. Maybe the S stands for Selfies? We'll know on Thursday.


Lastly,the battery is a 3080 mAh unit. There is also Android 8.1 Oreo with MiUi 9.5 on top of it. 

We'll be updating this post during and after the launch on Thursday. Stay tuned!

How smartphone cameras work

Image
The fact that people take a lot of photos on their smartphone is nothing new. In fact,many manufacturers now make phones which emphasize the camera as the main selling point of the phone. The Infinix Zero 4, Camon CX ,HOT S,many phones from many manufacturers emphasize on taking great shots. But many people do not know how these cameras work. So,I'll explain. There are six basic steps in taking photos on a smartphone camera. They are: 1. The user (or smartphone) focuses on the object. 2. Light enters into the lens.(light is everything on photography) 3. The arpeture controls how much light enters into the lens. 4. The shutter determines how long the sensor is exposed to light 5. The sensor captures the image 6. Post processing takes place in the software of the phone. There may also be some noise reduction. Since most of the machines that do this are relatively simple machines,they all follow the laws of physics. Now,in smartphones,some problems will arise. These problems ...

Samsung Galaxy S9 Review For years,Samsung has been the pinnacle of Android phones ,engaged in an extremely stiff competition with the epitome of smartphone greatness in the sense of the iPhone. For a long time,the iPhone has been the definition of what a smartphone should be,with iPhones starring in commercials,as the template for website performance tests,game tests,celebrities carry them,and this is just to name a few.And Samsung has tried to change this orientation for years.They created their 'S' smartphone variants to take on the Apple flagships and try to push their phones as iPhones with flashier designs and more functions than you could use. They basically made iPhones running Android. And each year,the next...

iPHONE SE Review 2017:Is it still worth your money?

Image
It's not design nostalgia. It's not simply size. One month at tycoontech and Apple's iPhone SE is almost... magic. Do you really need to be told that an iPhone SE is the right phone for you? That one of the only devices with both a 4-inch screen and a current-generation spec sheet is worth your money? Of course not. But what I can help you with is how it feels to go from an iPhone 6s Plus or an iPhone 6s back to the iPhone 5s form factor, and how it impacts your life in meaningful, often unexpected ways. iPhone SE is a wonderful, almost-perfect iPhone. But its imperfections may gall some potential buyers, because it lacks much of what makes the latest, albeit far more expensive, iPhones what they are. Given that I have never used any iPhone for more than 5 minutes(except the iPhone 7) the fact that I like this phone means a lot to me. Anyway,here's what you lose with the iPhone SE. Obviously, by going from an iPhone 6s or 6s Plus you lose quite a bit of what m...
