Another Asus Zenfone 3 version runs GFXBench, has its specs revealed

Back in January, we saw two upcoming Asus devices getting benchmarked using GFXBench, a process which revealed most of their specs, as is always the case with such prototypes. Those are still probably going to be two distinct Zenfone 3 models, and today a third has surfaced in the exact same benchmark's database.
For now it's known only as the Asus Z016D. Its screen size is wrongly reported by GFXBench (this happens a lot) - yet if we assume that it meant 13.8 centimeters instead of inches then the phone sports a 5.5" display, which would make a lot more sense.

Anyway, its resolution is 1080p Full HD, while the chipset powering the handset is the Snapdragon 820 from Qualcomm, aided by 4GB of RAM. Internal storage here is 128GB, though it's unclear if it's expandable or not. The main camera has 21 MP resolution and can record 4K video, while the selfie shooter is an 8 MP unit.
This Zenfone 3 variation runs Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow and they all should be on the same version when they launch. The big Zenfone 3 unveiling takes place on May 30, which is next Monday, so there isn't a whole lot of waiting left to do from this point on.

Galaxy A9 Pro international variant is now Bluetooth certified

Image
The Samsung SM-A910F - which is alleged to be the international variant of the Galaxy A9 Pro (SM-A9100) - has now received certification from the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG), indicating an imminent launch. This comes just a few weeks after the handset (both standard and dual-SIM models) received Wi-Fi certification from the WiFi Alliance (WFA). Prior to that, the phone was spotted on India's import/export tracking website Zauba. Sadly, pricing and availability details of the Samsung SM-A910F aren't yet known. Also not known are the markets that'll get it, although Europe seems to be on list as a polish retailer has reportedly already started accepting pre-orders for the device. Via

Microsoft releases Hub Keyboard for Android

Image
Microsoft has made yet another app for Android, this time a keyboard. The Microsoft Hub Keyboard looks like a simple keyboard at first but it has a few tricks up its sleeve. The keyboard has four main features. The clipboard feature shows you text you had previously copied so you can paste it with a couple of taps. The documents feature lets you login to your Office 365 account and paste the URL of the files by typing their names. The contacts feature lets you type the name of the contact and paste their details by tapping on the suggestions above. Lastly, there is a built-in translator, which can translate the text you're typing to any other language. That aside, the keyboard is extremely basic and does not even have autocorrect, which makes typing extremely difficult. There also doesn't seem to be any way to access emoji if you're using this keyboard. Some of these drawbacks makes the keyboard hard to use for basic typing and the addition of the

The iPhone 7 might feature a 3D touch home button

Image
After a myriad of leaks and rumors, we are now fairly certain that the new iPhone lineup will be available in the middle of September. This shortness in time also tends to give the rest of the Apple rumor collection a certain air of plausibility as well. However, that logic seems to be failing quickly, with head-turning latecomers to the show, like the recent iPhone 6SE naming rumor or the shots of a trio of devices, instead of a duo. Continuing the same trend of alleged surprises, a new rumor suggests the next iPhone will have a 3D touch home button. The idea is that it will work similar to recent MacBook touchpads. This means being able to distinguish between different levels of force and also providing a vibration or "haptic" feedback to the user, instead of actually pushing in a key. It definitely sounds plausible, but there is a lot to be said about usability and reception, as the round, physical home button has become somewhat of a constant pres

iPhone SE teardown shows hardware ranging from iPhone 5 to 6s

Image
The Apple iPhone SE is a 6s in a 5s body, but Chipworks dug into the internals and it turns out the story is more complicated than that. It straddles multiple generations - from the iPhone 5 selfie camera to the iPhone 6s chipset, a whopping four generations. The Apple A9 chipset is brand new and the SK Hynix-made LPDDR4 2GB memory matches the 6s as well. The NFC, audio chips and motion sensor are from that generation as well. The storage appears to be from the 6s as well, but an earlier 19nm chip instead of the 15nm being shipped now. The Qualcomm modem from the earlier iPhone 6 model while the touchscreen controller goes back to the iPhone 5s. Using the images and info from Chipworks, I labeled the parts on the motherboard with the iPhone generation they come from. Source | Via
