Huawei keeps straddling along. The Chinese company is now preparing to launch its upcoming flagships, the Huawei P40 lineup, very soon. We’ve been seeing several rumors and leaks about the design these past few days, and we even got a glimpse at some press renders of the Huawei P40. Now, though, it’s time for the Huawei P40 Pro, usually the more interesting one out of the pair, to come out of the shadow with leaked press renders thanks to the folks at AndroidHeadlines.
As well as two standard-looking lenses, there is also what appears to be either a macro lens or a ToF sensor to the right of the camera bump. All of this is enclosed within a rectangular, black camera bump, fitting the general aesthetic of other 2020/2019 smartphones such as the Galaxy S20 lineup, the Pixel 4 and the iPhone 11 lineup.

There is also a pill-shaped hole-punch camera, similar to the one in the Galaxy S10+, carrying a dual-camera setup. The display itself is curved, although the curve doesn’t seem as extreme as the one in the Mate 30 Pro, which fits the term “waterfall display”, given how there is a volume rocker–something that was removed in the Mate 30 Pro to give space for the screen curve.
Both the Huawei P40 and P40 Pro are expected to be announced during the first quarter of the year, so expect to see the phones very soon.

Hello XDA,
There has been some talk about the Z2 camera and its questionable performance, especially when comparing to other flagship devices.
Here's the first comparison. From a phonearena phototest. Clearly Z2 did terrible here. Blurry all the way.

So i wasnt shure if this was a technical problem, or a software problem. Did some tests myself, taking same shot with superior auto, full manual (resized to 8mp), and google stock camera app. And heres what I found out:
Look at the bins closely. Especially the lid. Google's stock camera has most detail and did better than Sony's own optimized one! Thats a bit shocking, isn't it?
I took some more shots that day using the superior auto, and guess what - they all came out very different, even though they were shot in completely same settings. What happened with the so "softening" of the images is what I believe is distortion correction. When sony's own software tries to fix that distortion, its blurs the image slightly in some parts of the image (depening on where it wants to corrects the distortion).
here's the test - couple of shots in auto + one in manual. And the result:
I just hope sony's going to fix their algorithms and provide a little update to their camera later on. Now I need to take 3-4 shots everytime to get the sharpest out of my shot, hoping the software will not "fix" down the picture it took.
Cheers All.
I'd been contemplating the X-Z3TC-LTE as an upgrade from the X-Z-U, but it's so much bigger it just isn't pocketable in the same way; here's the XZU on top of the Z3TC:

p.s. apologies for the poor picture quality, a friend took the picture and we had to be quite stealthy as the shop probably wouldn't have approved of us taking pictures.
naaah...u got baby pockets or something? I would buy it! I want a bigger phone! :laugh:
Agree.. With superuser. Nothing is too big. Waiting to get myself one of those bad boy..
That... Too big? Nah... If you really need to, put it in a wheelbarrow or something, there's no such thing as too big!
Yeah, that's a proper tablet. It probably works fine as a tablet, but i doubt it'll work nicely as a phone. The Ultra is special since it's both a phone and a mini-tablet, but it leans more towards a phone (in size, that is), while this is a full blown tablet that you can call with if you want too, while the Ultra is mainly a big phone.
I was thinking that one of these tablets coupled with a smart watch and a collar style Bluetooth headset (LG Tone or Sony SBH80) might actually work quite well. No need to check the tablet for messages all the time, and no need to get it out to make or take phone calls.
I've run into what I think is the same problem with two different new Nexus 9 tablets, from two different sources, and I'd like to find out if this is a common defect with the Nexus 9 in general. In both cases, let them run all system upgrades to the latest version (6.0.1).
With the first tablet, I first noticed that I had problems pressing and holding (to move icons on the home screen) near the left edge (USB connection at the bottom). Tried a bit more, and found it only intermittently registered touches in about a 1cm wide vertical band 1cm in from the left side. Sent it back to Amazon, ordered a replacement from a different affiliate.
Second tablet came, I let it install updates, and got the same problem. This time I installed a touchscreen test app, used the "paint" mode (draws a pixel wherever you touch), and after sweeping my finger pretty thoroughly over the screen, saw an obvious mostly-dead bar in the problem area. See attached image.
Has anyone else run into this? Known Nexus 9 issue? Could it be a software problem, unlikely as that seems? Any help or advice would be appreciated. I want a stock Android tablet badly enough to give the Nexus 9 a third try, but not if I'm probably just going to run into this again.

VITHOR3E - Make a Foldable Gaming Phone like Galaxy Fold Huawei Mate X, etc by 3 old phones to protect the Existence Earth Environment. {VITHOR 3E} [DIY]
I have an idea but don't know how to share it so I posted it here.
I have made some artworks to protect life and the future, I made a foldable gaming phone with 3 screens [DIY] and foldable gaming laptop with 4 screens, you can also do it yourself too, it will help reduce plastic waste, electronic waste. And I realized it has many advantages when playing games, it's fun. We will not have to throw old equipment in the trash. You can share with others this “VITHOR3E” keyword to protect future life and let people see you very knowledgeable and profound. That will protect our earth.

I guess what I'm trying to say to myself is, "Way to fcuking go, dude! You saw right through history and knew that this little S6 honey was gonna get the shock treatment sooner or later, so why wait, right?"
And bonus points to me for having managed to do so in a year-end review winning style, no doubt in the ever popular, "Whaaa? Is that dude fcuking retarded?" category. Pros: duuuuude, you instantly made retarded look like "advanced clever."
Cons: you did so in a comically regressive mannner. While collecting local geo-data and sensing near-surface disturbances just below your public viewing area, you somehow were able to determine, unlike anyone post=hoc could, that ejecting the shiny new Samsung S6 past the mat and onto the nearby cement floor would be best for it, especially if done so screen down, as though continuing to rest upon your lap during a period of increased disturbances would be a big mistake though it had done so until then quite comfortably, much like a convenience store burrito an hour earlier was a big mistake that had rested in place quite comfortably until then.
Or as I believe I heard you prase yourself in a summary of events just after The Great Ejection, "Whaaa? Dude! Arrrrrrghhhhh! Are you fcuking retarded???"

Did you purchase with a credit card offering extended or no-fault warranty? If so, you might be in luck.
Can you retroactively purchase a service plan, and then make a claim say a week from now? If so, then you should be in good shape.
You have options -- investigate. I've availed myself of both these examples in the past.
