Hey everyone, we’re back with another edition of "A Week in Tech"! Last week didn’t bring any major digital product launches, but there was still plenty of buzz-worthy news to keep us entertained. For instance, Meizu’s PRO 7 made headlines with its secondary screen feature, Samsung J7 (2017) leaked images of its dual-camera setup, and Nokia 8 finally made its grand entrance. Not to mention, the rumored release date and price for the highly anticipated iPhone 8 also surfaced.
First up, let's talk about Meizu's upcoming PRO 7. Scheduled for July 26th, the event is set to take place at the Zhuhai Opera House. Meizu is calling this a new chapter in their design philosophy. Recent工信部 disclosures revealed the phone's key features, including three color options and an eye-catching secondary display on the back. This secondary screen doesn’t just display notifications or time—it even supports mini-games. Interestingly, the front screen can mimic most of these functionalities, whether it's in black-and-white mode, music playback, or photo previews, and it remains active even when the device is powered off.
On the same day, Xiaomi is launching its new Xiaomi 5X. With Wu Yifan as the spokesperson, known for his recent stint as a hip-hop judge on a popular TV show, expectations are high. Xiaomi is also teasing the arrival of MIUI9, their latest operating system update. The Xiaomi 5X seems to be a solid contender in the mid-range segment, offering great value for money.
Meanwhile, Samsung J7 (2017) has once again grabbed attention online. Leaked images confirm its dual-camera setup, arranged vertically with dual LED flash. The handset will come equipped with a 5.5-inch Full HD display, Samsung’s Exynos 7870 octa-core processor, 3GB RAM, and fingerprint recognition. These specs suggest it might cater to budget-conscious buyers looking for a decent smartphone experience.
Speaking of smartphones, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology recently released authoritative data showing OPPO’s dominance in the mobile phone market. Two weeks after its launch, OPPO R11 soared to the top of the sales charts. Four out of the top ten phones belong to OPPO, indicating the brand’s success in targeting younger audiences. The R11’s popularity seems to justify its claim as this year’s breakout phone.
Turning our attention to Nokia, HMD Global is rumored to unveil the Nokia 8, a flagship device, later this month. Recent leaks showcase a copper-colored variant with dual rear cameras, aligning with earlier renders of the blue and silver versions. The Nokia 8 is expected to feature a 5.3-inch 2K display, powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 835 chipset, paired with 4GB or 6GB of RAM, and a dual 13MP Carl Zeiss camera. Priced over 4,000 yuan, it aims to compete in the premium segment.
Lastly, we can't overlook the buzz surrounding the iPhone 8. According to insider reports, Apple plans to release it on September 5th or 6th alongside the iPhone 7S and 7S Plus. The iPhone 8 will reportedly offer 64GB and 256GB configurations priced at $1,100 and $1,200 respectively. Due to potential supply chain issues, initial stock might be limited, driving prices higher once it hits the market.
