As you may know already, Xiaomi CEO and tech analyst Pan Jiutang have commented that the Xiaomi Mi 5 won’t be arriving so soon due to the stock of the new Qualcomm chip, the Snapdragon 820. And as the saying goes “third time’s a charm”, Liwan Jiang, co-founder and Senior VP of Xiaomi have announced that the Mi 5 will indeed be equipped with the latest Qualcomm chip and will be in stock after the Chinese Spring Festival in February.

New leaked images from Taiwanese website Apple.club.tw have appeared and it was claimed to be the backlight assembly of the Apple iPhone 7. According to them, the backlight assembly is quite similar to the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus, except that the 3D Touch chip and LCD flex cables are relocated.

Apple.club.tw also speculated that if it’s not the iPhone 7, then it could be the upcoming rumoured 4-inch “iPhone 6c”. But it doesn’t fit the puzzle as it was reported that the device will not have a 3D Touch feature. Also, the backlight assembly seems too big for a 4-inch iPhone. 

Samsung rumours is back (again) and this time from Weibo, an “alleged” image leak shows us a tech specs chart comparisons between the Galaxy S7, S7 Edge and Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge +.

Looking at the chart, there doesn’t seem to be much differences in their display, RAM power, and storage. The S7 series battery however, is a huge jump from their predecessors, and it goes in line with theprevious battery rumour upgrade. Next, both anticipated devices are expected upgrade their chipset and processors as well. It could either be powered by the Exynos 8 Octa 8890 or the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 chip, which is quite new to the market.
