Leaked details have surfaced, and it looks like the iPhone 7 will be even better than the previous version. The iPhone 7 design is set on getting a huge update, as well as many other aspects. Even though Apple is not planning on releasing this phone anytime soon, it is still fun to have discussions about it.
NEW APPLE IPHONE 7 DESIGN HAS FIVE PROTOTYPES
Apple has many different prototypes to choose from before they actually release their new iPhone 7. They are currently working with five different prototypes of this phone. They are trying to decide which one of these prototypes to take to the next level of development. One prototype that has been talked about is one with a USB Type-C port. This port will support headphones as well. Also included would be a dual-camera, wireless charging, and an under display fingerprint scanner. However, as previously stated, this is just a prototype and it is unknown which one Apple will go with.
NEW APPLE IPHONE 7 DESIGN TO HAVE 3GB OF RAM AND BE WATERPROOF
This new iPhone 7 design is going to get an increase in RAM size. This smartphone will feature 3 GB of RAM. Not only more random access memory, but this phone will also be the first iPhone to be waterproof. This is one of the company’s newest features in this new model. Also, this new iPhone will be the thinnest iPhone that the world has ever seen. It will be around 6mm in size.
NEW APPLE IPHONE 7 DESIGN TO HAVE A BIG UPDATE
Gene Munster, the managing director of Piper Jaffray, commented on this new smartphone. Munster stated that it is expected that the iPhone 7 will get a huge design change. He says that he expects the home button to be eliminated. This would be replaced by the 3D Touchscreen. Also, with the home button gone, he states that they would have additional space to make the screen even bigger.
WHAT ABOUT THE APPLE IPHONE 6C?
Although the iPhone 7 is being talked about, there is still the talks about the iPhone 6C. This phone was claimed to be being released in the second quarter of 2016. This would mean it would release before the iPhone 7. It sounds like this is still the plan.
The Nextbit Robin Smartphone very closely resembles the iPhone 6. With as many phones that are released in the world today, it is no surprise to see phones that resemble each other. The Nextbit Robin smartphone and the iPhone 6 are no exceptions. Let’s take a look at how much these two phones resemble each other.

THE NEXTBIT ROBIN SMARTPHONE AND THE IPHONE 6 RESEMBLANCE
These two phones look practically identical to each other from the outside. The Nextbit Robin is only slightly bigger than the iPhone 6, being 149 mm and the iPhone 6 being 138 mm. They both have identical screen sizes with the Nextbit being only .5 inches bigger than the iPhone 6’s screen size. Both of these phones also have a rear and front camera built into them, and both of them produce a flash when taking a photo. Also, as expected, both of them can connect to the internet, but practically any cell phone in existence can do that. On the outside, it is almost difficult to tell which one is which, but there are slight differences between the two.
THE SLIGHT DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE IPHONE 6 AND THE NEXTBIT ROBIN
There are only three really big differences between the two phones. The first major difference is the resolution that each phone has. The Nextbit portrays a resolution of 1080×1920 pixels, which is true HD. While the iPhone 6 only has a screen resolution of 750×1334 pixels. While the iPhone 6 still has HD, the Robin has a little better quality. The other two big differences are in the RAM and internal storage. The New Phone has 2 GB more of RAM than the iPhone 6 with 3 GB of RAM. Also, the internal storage of the Nextbit Robin doubles that of an iPhone 6 with 32 GB.
Basically, the main differences are not noticeable from the outside and are only available via the naked eye. However, the new smartphone does seem to have the iPhone 6 beat on some major factors.
With OnePlus’s debut just last April with the OnePlus One, the new Chinese smartphone manufacturer already revealed plans to release its successor: the OnePlus 2. OnePlus is marketing its new phone as the “2016 Flagship Killer,” confident that its new features and improved specs will dominate its competition against smartphone giants such as Samsung and Apple.
However, those looking to get their hands on one when it arrives August 11 might have to jump through a few tedious hoops to get it, as you won’t be able to just pick it up at your local Best Buy. Here’s everything you need to know about the OnePlus 2, including its improved specs, enhanced features, and how to get it.
NEW FEATURES
The OnePlus 2 offers a wide variety of new features that weren’t available in the OnePlus One, including a resilient and lightweight aluminum-alloy body . Some of these include an improved camera, USB Type-C and additional SIM ports, a new fingerprint scanner, and what OnePlus is calling an “Alert-Slider.”
While the OnePlus 2 offers the same 13MP camera that the OnePlus One did, laser autofocus technology has been added, as well as an improved Sony Exmor light sensor —both of which will make for faster and better picture-taking, especially in low light conditions.
The OnePlus 2 is set to come with a USB Type-C port. This is great news to Android users looking to purchase a new phone, as this type of port is universally used across most Android smartphones for charging, and connecting to computers. Those who own a OnePlus One will also be happy to learn that an adapter for the OnePlus 2’s charger will be made available for purchase—a backwards-compatible device that will allow for easy connectivity between the two.
OnePlus has also installed a fingerprint sensor in the OnePlus 2 for tighter and easier security. To those who cringe at any mention of a fingerprint scanner, scarred by the mostly non-functional nightmare that has been Touch ID, there is no need to fear any longer. Early reviews of the OnePlus 2’s new installment are raving about the sensor’s consistently fast and accurate ability to scan, taking the user straight to the homepage with a single quick tap, outshining other smartphones who were perhaps not yet ready to jump on the fingerprinting bandwagon.
Tired of being alerted constantly by unnecessary notifications, most of which are for apps or services you never use? With the “Alert Slider” on the OnePlus 2, users will be able to take back control over their notifications. Using the new feature, you would be able to choose exactly which apps or services you would like to receive notifications for, or simply turn them off altogether.
ENHANCED SPECS
Technically speaking, the OnePlus 2’s specs offer only minor improvements over its predecessor, with most of the phone’s enhancements taking place internally. The OnePlus 2 boasts the same 1920 x 1080 resolution, 16 or 64GB of storage room (depending on the model you choose), 13MP rear-facing/5MP front-facing camera, and OxygenOS software that the OnePlus One had.
However, those disappointed in the new phone’s lack of improved hardware will be excited to learn of its increased battery life, as the OnePlus 2 boasting a much more powerful 3,300mAh—a vast improvement from the former phone’s 3,100mAh. The OnePlus 2 also offers a model that can hold up to 4GB of RAM, making for a speedier and more fluid experience than the OnePlus One’s 3GB. But perhaps the most exciting is the phone’s new processor, as it uses the 1.8GHz Snapdragon 810 –the latest processor in the “Snapdragon” processor family.
HOW TO GET ONE
Those looking to get their hands on a shiny new OnePlus 2 come its August 11th release date won’t be able to simply buy one at the nearest tech store. Similar to the release of the OnePlus One last April, customers will need to either participate in one of OnePlus’s promotional contests, or request an invitation to purchase one from the company website and hope for the best. OnePlus has said very little as to why they choose to market their brand using an “invitation-only” policy, with their only explanation coming from their website: “Launching a second flagship product to an exponentially larger community brings a whole set of new challenges, and invites will help us manage them.”
