Dual camera ZTE Blade V8 leaked ahead of CES launch, by ZTE…

CES is just a week away, but that hasn’t shut the door on pre-release leaks. If anything,

the leaks will only increase in the last minute build up to the Vegas-based tech show. The latest leak from the CES vaults is the dual camera ZTE Blade V8, which has appeared online in some kooky marketing photos on the company’s own website.
The page has since been pulled but as anyone that has ever done something embarrassing online knows: once it’s on the internet it’s not going away. Some hands-on pics have also appeared via Russian site, Hi-TechMail. The Blade V8 specs are thoroughly mid-range but that 13 MP/2 MP dual camera is the thing we’re most interested in. The 2 MP lens is for capturing depth information and there’s a second 13 MP camera on the front.
According to the text on ZTE’s deleted page, the dual cameras will allow you to “add DSLR-like bokeh effects to your photos and to shoot before focusing. The dual cameras also let you shoot stereoscopic 3D photos.” These will be viewable in 360 degrees on VR headsets. The Blade V8 will also be capable of capturing “high-speed motion with multi-exposure images”.
The V8 has a matte finish metal body with chamfered edges on the back complemented by 2.5D glass on the front around its 5.2-inch Full HD display. It’s powered by the octa-core Snapdragon 435 (MSM8940) SoC with 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB ROM. It’ll run Nougat out of the box with ZTE’s MiFavor 4.0 UI.
There’s a fingerprint sensor up front and the whole shebang is 7.7 mm thin. The fingerprint sensor works from any angle (yay) and supports gestures for shortcuts to specific apps or actions. Fingerprint app locking and secure mobile payments are both to be included on the Blade V8. Previous versions of the Blade weren’t global releases, so it remains to be seen if the Blade V8 will make it to U.S. shores.

EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT THE PIXEL 4, THE MOST-LEAKED PHONE EVER

Image
Google’s  Pixel 3 might have been the  most-leaked phone in history . Long before its unveiling, we knew practically everything about it from unboxing videos, photo comparisons, even a full review of the device. Surely, for the Pixel 4, Google would clamp down on leaks to leave some surprises for its debut on  October 15th , right? Let’s just say, if that was the plan, it didn’t exactly work out. We’ve now seen the Pixel 4 XL from every angle and in three different colors. At least seven different sources have touched this phone, many of them confirming the same specs. We not only know which cameras it’ll have, but also what they may be capable of, including air gestures (go figure). That doesn’t even count information Google has already shared  on purpose. So if you want to know almost everything about the Pixel 4 nearly a month before it’s announced, buckle up. We’ve sifted through all of the rumors and information we can find to compile everything we know —...

Our favorite iOS apps for the iPhone and iPad in 2018

Image
As 2018 comes to a close, it’s time to look at some our favorite apps of the year. While not all of these are brand new, many of them popped up onto our radar for the first time in 2018, and are definitely worth the attention. Others are some of our favorites that are still best-in-class despite having been around for some time now. We aim to do things differently at TNW, and as such you’re not going to find the recommendations you’re probably used to seeing: Gmail, Skype, Dropbox, and the like. Instead, we want to focus on the best-of-the-best that you may not have heard of, and others that are just special enough to warrant a mention. As always, we’d encourage you to share some of your favorites in the comments below, or on Facebook. Enlight Pixaloop (Free Pixaloop  is one of my favorite apps on the market. Unlike typical image editors that allow you to remove red eye or apply a filter, Pixaloop allows you to create stunning photo animations with a few c...
