Elephone S7 and R9 will add flashing black

It is said that Elephonewill add flashing black into their new models S7 and R9, Elephone will be one of the Android smartphone company which launch flash black version on their smartphone. This will create a shock wave to the current smartphone market.

From the poster, flashing black version will be the same with the previous three colors on the airframe material and configuration, but the flashing black R9 will feature bright surface polishing treatment.

With S7's cool rear cover and R9's round metal integrated design, we believe it can give users a better visual power.

In addition, powered by 10-core MTK Helio X20 chipset, Elephone S7 and R9 run Android 6.0  marshmallow. both of them adopt In-Cell processing.

Moreover, the rear cover of Elephone S7 was used with PVC materials,  which is combined with a 15 - layer processing crafts, so it looks stunning and gorgeous.

As to the exact price of S7 and R9, it has not been announced.

Huion H610 Review

I brought a Huion H610 recently and the regular one not the Pro version. I think they also have another new tablet with a SD card reader. I brought the Huion 610 because the only big difference about the other two are cosmetics and a card reader. I order off amazon with my Prime membership so it took 2 days to come. I made sure to download the driver the day before it came and restarted my PC then. When it arrived I plugged everything in and added a rechargeable battery to the pen. Everything worked as advertised for me out of the box. I had to go into the settings to enable the tablet for the brushes in Photoshop for pressure sensitivity to work.

That was an issue with Photoshop and not the tablet. At first I thought it was the tablet until I tried it in Zbrush and the pen sensitivity was working fine there. I have seen some reviews where people had issues but I think a few units may come defective and should be able to be returned. Then again I think it was more user error and not preparing for the tablets arrival before hand. Any drivers from previous tablets must be uninstalled before installing the Huion ones. I had a old bamboo from years ago. I made sure to uninstall those drivers first. I restarted and then I installed the Huion drivers and restarted again. Everything works perfectly for me. I would have done the above for any software as I have been working in IT for 11 years now.

No issues setting up the keys and made sure to increase the sensitivity almost to the max. I want to make sure I can get smaller lines with a light touch of the pen. It really does feel like i'm drawing on paper that way. Now I didn't use the Bamboo much as I was in the military when I first purchased it and after awhile I gave up on Photoshop and Maya then. I just didn't have the time to invest in it. Now I have more free time and I want to do more with Photoshop and I have chosen to use Zbrush. I'm still deciding between blender, 3d Studio Max, and Maya. I can test those out using a student license. I hear its best to use many different programs but Zbrush will be primary for my sculpting.

Sorry about that back on topic. My sliders work fin for me using the tablet. I'm just trying to figure out the best button configurations for the side buttons. Then what I can also put at the top to keep me away from the keyboard.

IPad as a graphic tablet?

A real drawing tablet will definitely be better, although I have never used one before.

But if you can't afford a tablet, an iPad is not a bad option if you're on a budget.

There are many great drawing apps that you can download from the app store like Procreate, Sketchbook, Art Set, etc. They are relatively cheap. I got Procreate for around $6, Art Set for around $3, and so on.

I drew these on my iPad so it's definitely possible.

Beginner's Journey learning the Pen&Ink Discipline

I just joined the forum and I've been drawing less than a year. I decided to start my focused study with Pen&Ink. I'm attaching some practice I did tonight. Right now I'm getting used to doing different kinds of strokes and varying the strokes the best I can to get different results with effects like light & shadow.

I'm using a book for instruction titled, "Pen & Ink Drawing: A Simple Guide" by Alphonso Dunn, which is a person I've watched on YouTube for some time. His videos are very informative and encouraging.

The following photo has me drawing a hat (which I copied from the instructional book to try out my own version of the hat I saw), a black marble I made that is in a basic two-color black and white using "local value", and a tall cup that I drew using short-hatch patterns in which I did my best to vary as much as I could. It is a very small drawing so it was hard to create spacing in the strokes.

As a beginner, I have a habit of drawing small. I like to leave room to fill a page up with several drawings. I assume I should try going larger on my drawings as it will give me better potential for spacing and variation of my pen strokes.

My ultimate personal goal is to draw comic-style drawings, but I felt Pen&Ink was a better start than cartooning because it would teach me more, and I would benefit greatly from practicing with the pen since cartooning and comic-style drawings depend on inks.

Feel free to give me feedback and some wisdom as I start this beginner practice with pen&ink.

**Hopefully this photo/drawing shows up on here. I tried to figure out how to attach images to posts.

Graphic tablet experience

I've used about 5 different brand tablets over the years - not the one you have listed but it does look similar to some that I have used.

In my experience, the reason Wacom are the leaders is that their tablets are just a better product. Some of the cheaper brands do work fine, but you might find they just feel a little different.  A good way of thinking of this is the difference between a comfortable pen on paper and a cheap pen that feels scratchy. What you find is that after a while your hand does get a little sore/tired or that every now and again it might not feel too accurate.

I have not found any other brands that are as good as wacoms, but for some people these other brands are good enough.  If you never used a tablet and need to save money then other brands do work fine and you won't notice the difference unless you use both to compare.

The best way to support our community is to just keep drawing - even if it's for fun and not serious. Another way is by taking time to occasionally rate and comments drawings by new or learning artists.

Gaomon S56k mini review:

# About me:

Rank 1.7k player (profile). On the first day with this tablet I set 2 300pp+ personal top scores. On the second day of playing with the tablet, I set my highest ever PP score (pic of the scores set with this tablet). Therefore I would say that it has been quite easy to adjust to this tablet from a Wacom CTH-480.

Keep in mind this review is my own personal opinion, and I have no affiliation with Gaomon (I bought the tablet myself off amazon - pic as proof).

Older tablets I've owned: Huion 420, Wacom CTH-470, Wacom CTH-480.

# Playability & Responsiveness 10/10:

The Gaomon S56k has a tested polling rate of ~440Hz (pic) compared to the ~129Hz of the Wacom CTH-480 (pic), although the manufacturer specified report rate is 250 'PPS'.
Overall tablet feels very accurate and quick. The amount of lag feels about the same as the 480 (if not better). If you own a wacom yourself, I would compare it to the smoothness of the newer wacom drivers but without the added lag. I would also describe it as feeling more reliable to aim with than with my wacom (although I have only had this tablet a short time).

# Tablet material 9/10 pic:

Thin and bendy plastic surface (similar kind of plastic you might find on the front/back cover of a notepad). The tablet slips around a lot without securing it, but it is easy to tape down to keep it from moving around. Very comfortable to rest your hand on the tablet while playing since there is no hard edge on the tablet.
The tablet surface is great for dragging on as it provides more resistance and feel compared to the slippery surface on a Wacom 480 (I am a dragging player so this was appreciated). Hover distance seems slightly smaller than wacom, about 1-1.5cm.

# Pen (stock) 7/10 pic:

The default pen requires one AAA battery to power it, making it a lot heavier than the wacom pen. Since I have fairly large hands I didn't find this to be much of a problem and it was easy to grip. Back and forth fast jumps were fine with this pen. However people with smaller hands may not like the heaviness of it.

# Pen (rechargable) 8/10 pic:

The rechargable huion pen is also compatible with this tablet, and it is significantly lighter than the stock pen. A great option for people who prefer a lighter pen similar to wacom pens. It is expensive though, costing almost as much as the tablet itself (£19.99).

# Driver Software 6/10 pic:

The drivers look very similar to the Huion 420 drivers. Installs easily and works straight away after restarting. However, setting your tablet area in the driver software is quite difficult since there is no equivalent option to 'force proportions' as found in Wacom drivers. This means that your area has to be the same aspect ratio as your screen in order to get 1:1 movement in each direction, so you may need to hold a ruler up to your monitor and measure it if you want your area to have the perfect aspect ratio.

# Conclusion:

Although I wouldn't go as far to say it is a much better tablet than a Wacom 480, it is definitely a viable alternative. I would say that this is a better tablet than a Huion 420 though, considering it costs about the same as the 420 (if you can find free shipping).
Is it worth switching to from a Wacom? Only if you don't feel completely happy with your current tablet imo. Personally, I prefer it to my wacom already, although some people may have the opposite opinion, therefore I would only recommend buying it if you have the urge to try something new, or if you are buying your first tablet.

Hope you found this review informative. Finally, I would like to use this opportunity to shamelessly plug my websiteosustuff.org, for anyone that hasn't checked it out yet! :P

APPLE IS ALREADY WORKING ON THE IPHONE 8. THERE WILL 7S?

From the mouth of one of the Israeli workers fell Apple name "iPhone 8". This means that probably next year we will not see iPhone 7S. On the occasion of the tenth occur it is immediately "eight", which will be significantly different from previous generations.

In 2017 the country had passed exactly 10 years since the first iPhone 2G. Since 2007, the world of mobile technology has changed dramatically, which in the majority is owned to the direction, which paved the Apple smartphone. Is, therefore, we can expect major changes in the next release of the iPhone? I am sure that this will be. There are several reasons why the future is in interesting colors. First, the decade was a real treat for the Apple. iPhone is iconic brand, will further defining trends and which is associated with wealth. Currently, the bar is suspended fairly high, although for several years, all are waiting for the revolution as the first iPhone. I do not know whether Apple is ready with its plans for such a big change, but the current leaks indicate that at least in this direction is going to go.

iPhone pierwszej generacji
iPhone pierwszej generacji
The second important issue is the fact that just had the premiere iPhone 7. Following a logical way of thinking – for the year should appear in version 7S. The problem is that Apple reportedly had to abandon the current cycle and go for three years. According to him, more changes and innovations in the generation pojawiałoby published every three years. Another thing that was passed in 2017 already mentioned decade. On the occasion of this anniversary edition iPhone 7S with better components would be a marketing shot in the foot. So if you look at the iPhone 6, iPhone 6S and iPhone 7 we will see a similar smartphone with slight variations. Perhaps this is the first three-year cycle, which is circled. Either way – a lot of circumstantial evidence indicates that next year we should expect a really interesting change. To make things even more interesting, one of the Israeli workers Apple said that works on the iPhone 8. He used the exact name. In Israel, there is a research and development laboratory of the Cupertino company. It is located in Herzliya and employs 800 workers. This is one of the places in which technologies are created, brought to the new iPhone. The new employee remained anonymous, but made it clear that "eight" will differ significantly with respect to the appearance of the iPhone 6S and 7. Among the changes is to appear as well (again) better camera iSight. How is it really? We will see in the next year. In the coming months certainly will be more rumors and leaks about it.

i'm not an expert of this device so i can't give much support

with the help of prahjister i made this rom
he suggested me to check and follow these 2:

i have no responsability and no possibility to check what could happen to your device if it is even just a little different than mine.

good luck if you wanna try this rom 

just to be clear my device is NEXBOX A95X with Amlogic S905X Android 6.0 2/16gb

RK3399 appears on geekbench

Some initial benchmark results https://browser.primatelabs.com/v4/c...9C%93&q=rk3399
Interesting to see the clock of 1512 MHz , but appears to be faster than S912
The RK3288 was and still is a very powerful and proficient SOC.

The problem was Rockchip not supporting correctly.

So if the RK3399 GPU has the same kind of performance and Rockchip correct past mistakes, then it could be a winner.

But we are talking about Rockchip, so disappointment does tend to come built into the name.

I'm impressed from what I have seen from the RK3229 though in terms of video performance, so perhaps there is chance for things to improve to a satisfactory level.
