The holidays are over and work is expected to resume in earnest. For the tech industry, manufacturers should begin to announce dates for the launch of new products. A large number of these products will be announced at the all-virtual CES 2021 event which begins on January 11. However, some other announcements or product launches will happen outside of the annual tech show.

Xiaomi is one of those who has a launch scheduled for the first work week of the year and it is for the Indian-exclusive Mi 10i smartphone. The phone which will sport a 108MP primary rear camera will be unveiled on Tuesday, the 5th of January. Ahead of the launch, Xiaomi has already sent out review units, and we are sure a number of you have already seen photos of the phone. For those who haven’t, the Mi 10i is practically a rebadge of the Chinese Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G albeit with special features for the Indian market.

Alongside Xiaomi, Samsung also has an event scheduled for the first week in January. The Korean Giant has an event on Wednesday, January 6 which has been reported to be an early CES 2021 event. Samsung is expected to announce new TVs and new display technologies. Maybe, we will see a new cool TV like the Sero which can rotate to switch between portrait and landscape modes.

Chinese phone accessories manufacturer, ZMI, also has a product launch set for January 6 and according to teasers, the new product is supposed to be a power bank with a total power output of 200W. The portable battery pack has been reported to be able to output 120W of power from one of its ports. Like other ZMI products, this will be launching in China first.
