OnePlus CEO Pete Lau has confirmed that the company will announce its next flagship smartphone in the second quarter of 2018, and it will come with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor. Lau made the revelation in an interview with CNET at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. This means, OnePlus could unveil its next device sometime in June, which is when OnePlus 5 was launched last year. The OnePlus CEO did not give out a name for the upcoming phone.

“While Lau wouldn’t divulge many details of the upcoming OnePlus phone — including its name — he confirmed it would run on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 845 processor, the mobile chip unveiled just in December. “Of course, there’s no other choice,” Lau said,” the CNET report reads.

While there’s little know about OnePlus’ upcoming flagship device, a report in GizmoChina claims the device could feature an under-display fingerprint sensor. A separate report suggests that the phone will ship with the same facial recognition technology for unlocking that we saw on the Apple iPhone X.

Just like iPhone X, OnePlus’ next device will also have the same 3D camera module that uses infrared light to measure depth. Of course, the information needs to be taken with a pinch of salt as there’s no official confirmation.

Meanwhile, OnePlus is said to begin talks with the US carriers this year to sell its smartphones. Striking a deal with a carrier could potentially increase deamand for the Chinese brand, given close to 90 per cent people in the US purchase their smartphones via carriers.

OnePlus recently launched Lava Red OnePlus 5T in India. The new variant comes in 8GB RAM + 128GB storage configuration, and is priced the same as 8GB option of the original OnePlus 5T. OnePlus 5T at Rs 37,999 will start selling via open sale on Amazon India from January 20. Registrations have already begun.

MS Dhoni’s return catch was big moment in the match: Kane Williamson

MS Dhoni’s return catch was big moment in the match: Kane Williamson New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson lauded his bowlers for drying up the runs during India’s chase in the second ODI here, terming Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s brilliant return catch by Tim Southee as a “big moment” in the match. When asked about how the bowlers and fielders responded while defending a low total, Williamson said: “Someone like MS Dhoni, he can finish matches when he is allowed to play his shots. He is the best in the world. That catch was big for us.” Williamson was happy with the manner his bowlers responded on a tricky surface and also gave an insight to how some adjustments led to the Indian skipper playing 37 dot balls. “On this kind of a surface (Kotla), scrapping was important. You needed to put the ball in areas where it’s tough to get away and try and build that pressure. It was an extremely good effort considering that the ball was damp due to dew factor...

NOKIA X REVIEW

NOKIA X REVIEW My green Nokia X (Photo credit: veer66 ) Nokia launched its first 'Android' phone, Nokia X, in India to lure buyers with the prospect of Android app support. The smartphone maker believes it will act as a 'feeder' for its Lumia phone range and make the first time smartphone users feel at home before they graduate to high-end alternatives. But does Nokia X live up to the hype surrounding it, or is it a case of too little, too late from the fabled Finnish firm? We find out in our review. Build & design Nokia X takes design cues from both Nokia Lumia 520/525 and Asha 503. It sports the same rectangular design and a colourful polycarbonate shell, which is a bit chunky. As soon as you notice the Asha-like capacitive button with the arrow label at the front, just below the screen, you realize it is not a Windows Phone device. Also, unlike the Lumia 525/520, the edges of the phone are sharp and not rounded. The edges at the front feel roug...
