Xiaomi 13 series is expected to debut in China next month. The brand is yet to announce any official details about the smartphones. Both the regular and Pro variants have been spotted in leaked renders as well as certification websites. The key specifications of the Xiaomi 13 duo have also surfaced online in the past.
Now, a Weibo user has shared a new leaked render of the Xiaomi 13. The image shows the same boxy form factor and square camera module design of the smartphone as previously seen. However, one noticeable difference is in the colour scheme of the back panel. As seen in the rendered image, the camera module is in White colour whereas the rest of the back panel is Brown. It also seems to have a leather texture suggesting that the device may indeed come in a leather option. Apart from this, the renders don’t reveal any additional details.
The Xiaomi 13 was spotted on Geekbench earlier today with model number 2211133C. It revealed a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC paired with 12GB RAM under the hood and an Android 13 OS out of the box. The device scored 1,497 points in single-core and 5,089 points in multi-core test results.
Rumours suggest that the Xiaomi 13 will arrive with significant upgrades over its predecessor. It will come with a 6.2-inch AMOLED display bearing a 2K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. The device is tipped to feature a 50MP Sony IMX8-series camera sensor and 120W fast wired charging.
Audio accessories maker pTron has unveiled its Bassbuds Nyx TWS earbuds in India. The Bassbuds Nyx sports a slim design and a transparent charging case. The Bassbuds Nyx joins the recent release of the pTron Basspods P11 and Basspods P251+ wireless earbuds in India.
The dual-color Bassbuds Nyx is designed with a solid ergonomic footing allowing for comfortable use over extended periods. The earbuds’ transparent charging case has a LED panel that displays the battery level. The earbuds fit at a 45-degree angle on the ears securely. They offer balanced and immersive audio output thanks to 10mm powerful speakers. It also comes equipped with a 50ms low-latency chipset for a great sound experience.
The new TWS earbuds support Bluetooth 5.1 connectivity. The user can answer or reject calls, regulate the volume and play/pause music by just tapping the panel. The earbuds connect separately and broadcast to the associated device and support mono or stereo mode independently. The earbuds deliver 9 hours of playback on a single charge and this extends to 32 hours with the case. The earbuds can be charged via USB-C using a quick charge in about an hour. They are rated IPX4 water- and sweat-resistance. The earbuds also feature passive noise cancellation and clarity when making calls.
The pTron Bassbuds Nyx is available directly for Rs. 999 (~$12) from the pTron website and Amazon India. Its original price is Rs. 1,299 (~$16).
Most industry-leading brands maintain their position through innovations. In the rugged phone industry, Doogee has done so by releasing products with unique features that are of value to consumers. The company’s new product Doogee V30 is a big statement to its competitor. It is one of the best-designed smartphones of the year with eco-friendly leather on the back. It is also the only rugged phone to have eSIM as one of its main features. This is a unique feature so a little background on why this is an amazing feature before we move on.
The Doogee V30 eSIM feature is perfect for travelers
SIM cards are important on any smartphone, and they are the reason we are able to make phone calls. Anyone with a smartphone understands its importance. For people whose livelihood has them traveling around the world, physically buying a SIM card anytime they are in a new country is time-consuming and inconvenient. So eSIM was developed, which is now being adopted by the V30 rugged phone.
The Doogee V30 eSIM feature is perfect for all travelers. With this feature, all you have to do when you arrive in a new country is to scan the QR code of a service provider and follow a few setup processes, and then you are ready to go. This takes away the process of walking to a physical store anytime you want to switch carriers. The Doogee V30 joins the short list of smartphones offering this feature to its many customers.
With what is already written the advantages of the eSIM are very evident. Doogee V30’s eSIM features facilitate an easy and cheap way to transfer service providers. It eradicates the potential of damage to SIM cards and saves on the cost involved in the transfer. These advantages are enough to cut down some of the anxiety of traveling to a new place.
At this point, it is time to talk about the design of the phone. At an initial glance, the V30 looks like every rugged phone on the market but upon closer look, you realize it is much more. The back is covered in eco-friendly leather that is not only pleasant to the eyes but feels great in the palm. To complete the design, the side panel finish was inspired by wood grains giving an entirely unique and fresh look.
Doogee keeps providing its clients with advanced technologies and an improved experience. With more details of the V30 set to be released, it is safe to say, the V30 like the V20 and V10 before is certain to come with flagship-level features. Now Doogee is holding a promotion campaign where you can leave comments and win free prizes. Doogee will pick a few comments from the page and gift prizes like a D11 watch or a $50 V30 coupon!
WhatsApp is constantly working on new features that make their way to its beta builds on either iOS or Android platforms. Now, it appears that the company is working on bringing an interesting new feature for its Status section on its iOS Beta build.
The news arrives from a WABetaInfo who spotted the feature in the iOS beta update. In the report, we can see a screenshot of the feature’s interface. Looking at this image, we can see that the popular messaging platform is working on letting users post voice statuses that are up to 30 seconds long on its application. Other users will be able to see these voice statuses by the microphone icon indicator at the bottom right corner, which is similar to one would see in an individual chat or a group chat.
For those unaware, the status section typically shows a videos and images shared by the users. So now, this would be another form of interaction. As of right now, the beta build is only available for select users that had entered the beta programme. Typically, the Status updates stay on the the user’s ‘status’ for 24 hours, so we can expect a similar format for the WhatsApp Voice Status update as well.
This feature was spotted initially spotted in the Android beta app version 2.22.21.5. Similarly, the social media giant is also working on a number of features, which are currently under development. But unfortunately, we still have no idea when this feature might be arriving at the live build. So stick around for more updates regarding this matter.
Xiaomi has grown into one of the world’s largest tech companies over the past 10 years. The company, which grows at an incredible rate yearly, has won consumers appreciation with its price-performance-oriented products. However, this situation has unfortunately turned a bit negative recently. Xiaomi posted its quarterly financial analysis, and the numbers show a significant decline in revenue for the July-September 2022 period.
Xiaomi’s Q3 financial report reveals a 10% drop in revenues
Xiaomi has announced its 2022 Q3 revenue. Total revenue for the July-September 2022 period was declared to be 70.5 billion CNY (almost $10 billion). More than 50% of this came from overseas markets. The revenue is 10% lower compared to last year. Net profit dropped even more – 59% year-on-year to CNY 2.1 billion ($294 million). However, this is not due to the company’s bad course.
That was partially due to the CNY 829 million ($116 million) investment in the newly set up EV businessand other projects that should bear fruit in the future. Based on this, we can say that the company continues to take firm steps towards the future. Third-quarter reports revealed not only the company’s revenues, but also the number of users.
Xiaomi Q3 revenue reports reveal the number of of MIUI users
Xiaomi users in the MIUI universe reached 564 million, 78.1 million more than the same period last year – a 16% yearly increase. Interestingly, only 141 million of them (about 25%) are in China. The company pushed 40.5 million smartphones in Q3 2022, and while it kept its 3rd position in the world.
Shipments also were down 7.8% yearly, with an 11.1% decrease in revenue. Xiaomi quoted “global macroeconomic headwinds” as one of the reasons, although it also enhanced promotional efforts in overseas markets. Moreover, the company’s success in Europe is increasing day by day. Xiaomi reached 2nd place in the European market, 1st place in Spain, and 2nd in Italy and France.
Sony and Honda have been working on a new electric vehicle that will feature self driving technology. Now, a new report has revealed an interesting detail regarding this upcoming autonomous EV model and it includes a PlayStation 5.
For those unaware, the two Japanese giants entered into a joint venture earlier this year to bring together their respective technological expertise to create a sustainable automobile. The two firms are set to showcase a deliverable product by 2025 and expect to begin taking orders by the following year. Now, this Sony-Honda collaboration could bring a Level 3 autonomous EV model that might feature a full built in PlayStation 5 gaming console. In other words, this joint venture will use the former’s popular console built into the infotainment system.
Izumi Kawanishi, President of the Sony Honda Mobility, had stated that putting a PS5 into the upcoming autonomous vehicle is “technologically possible.” Meanwhile, Yasuhide Mizuno, chairman of Sony Honda Mobility, also said that the company aims to “develop a car as hardware that will cater to the entertainment and network we would like to offer.” With the joint venture the veteran automobile maker Honda would leverage the technological expertise of Sony to create an autonomous electric vehicle that is set to launch in the US market soon.
So, the new EV will be built with Honda’s mechanicals while Sony would be responsible for the electronics. This would include integrated sensors and technology that is crucial for the self driving technology. The joint venture would likely take on the likes of Tesla in the electric vehicle market. So we can expect to see some premium offerings.
We just had three big-name smartphone launches in the last few days. But the next few days will be slow as there’s going to be only a single major launch.
In total, only two companies have scheduled phone announcements for next week. One of them is iQOO, which will be debuting its next-generation upper mid-range and premium smartphones.
The second brand is Infinix. It will be bringing a couple of budget smartphones to India, which have already gone official in some markets. One of these handsets is 5G-enabled.
With that out of the way, let’s take a look at the phones set to release in the coming days.
Infinix has confirmed to launch the Infinix Hot 20 series in India on December 1. The company is expected to announce two devices, namely Infinix Hot 20 5G and Infinix Hot 20 Play, at around 12 PM IST.

ASUS has become the 2nd most popular laptop maker in the Indian market. A new report has revealed that the company is now one of the top notebook brands in the region with a sizeable market share.
According to an IDC report, the Taiwanese PC maker achieved a market share of 20.6 percent during the third quarter of this year. This company also saw a 9 percent growth year on year in Q3 2022 over Q3 2021. ASUS saw decent growth despite the overall market seeing a decline of 12 percent during this same period. The company also saw a rise in market share between the second quarter and third quarter. The former had it achieve a 15 percent market share.
As per Arnold Su, Business Head, Consumer and Gaming PC, ASUS India, “We are thrilled to capture the No. 2 position in the consumer notebook category in India in Q3 2022. It is a great moment for us to cherish & celebrate since our initial goal for this year was to touch 20% market share in India. With this accomplishment, we are aligned with our vision and hoping to receive newer and bigger heights in 2023 by offering customers innovative and high performance devices.”
The company had released a number of notable laptops in the region this year, which included some innovative notebooks like the Zenbook Pro Duo, Zenbook 17 Fold, Zephyrus and ROG Flow series, and Strix Scar 17 SE and other models. The brand is also aiming on expanding its existing OLED laptop portfolio as well to make the OLED display technology the mainstream choice in the near future.
In July, Infinix unveiled the Infinix 32Y1 HD smart TV, priced at Rs 8,999 (~$110) in India. Later in October, the company unveiled a larger TV from the same series called the Infinix 43Y1 smart TV. While the 32-inch model supports HD resolution, the 43-inch variant comes with support for Full HD resolution. It comes with other features like a bright display, 20W speakers, and support for only OTT apps. Here is our first impressions of the 43Y1.
Infinix 43Y1 smart TV price and availability
The Infinix 43Y1 costs Rs 13,999 (~$175). It will be available for purchase starting today (Nov. 25) exclusively through Flipkart. It comes with a 1-year warranty.
Screen and Audio
Infinix 43Y1 smart TV
As can be seen in the images, the 43-inch LED screen is surrounded by slim bezels, which are made from polycarbonate. The screen supports a Full HD resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. The company claims that it offers 16 million+ hues, up to 300 nits of brightness, and HLG support for better color replication. The picture quality is adequate for a TV under Rs 15,000 (~$184) in India.
For audio, the Infinix 43Y1 smart TV features a pair of 20W box speakers with Dolby Audio support. The sound output is quite loud. If you are someone who has no plans to purchase a soundbar, you will be satisfied with the loudness of the built-in speakers.
By default, it comes with picture mode options like Eco (default), standard, vivid, movie, game, sport, and user. The sound modes available on the TV include standard, movie, music, soccer, and user.
Apps
Infinix 43Y1 smart TV
Turn on the TV, and you are greeted with an interface that is similar to what you see on Android TVs. The interface has tabs like For You, Movies, Series, Animations, Kids, App Store, and Short Videos. Like the 32Y1, the 43Y1 runs on a Linux-based OS, which gives access to OTT platforms like Prime Video, Zee5, Sony LIV, Aaj Tak, Al Jazeera, and more. There is a universal search that can be used to search content across all the apps on the TV.
A couple of apps like Disney+ Hotstar and Netflix are not available on the device. The in-built web browser has bookmarks for websites such as Hotstar, MX Player, AltBalaji, Voot, Google, NDTV, and more. Users can also create their own bookmarks to quickly access any website without having to enter the URL.
I tried accessing Hotstar, and the experience was okay, as I was able to easily start a replay of an F1 race in a few seconds. I believe the missing apps will be added to the TV via a future software update, but I can’t say when that will be.
Infinix 43Y1 smart TV remote
The remote has dedicated keys for accessing YouTube, Prime Video, and the web browser, among other buttons. The TV comes with support for screen mirroring with Android phones via WiFi but lacks Bluetooth support.
Hardware and Connectivity
Infinix 43Y1 smart TVInfinix 43Y1 smart TVInfinix 43Y1 smart TV
The spec sheet of the TV states that it is powered by a MediaTek chip and packs Mali-G31 graphics. It offers an internal storage capacity of 4 GB. When it comes to connectivity, the TV offers options like 2 HDMI ports, 2 AV ports, 2 USB 2.0 ports, 1 optical port, 1 RF port, an RJ45 LAN port, and a 3.5mm audio jack. These ports are accessible through the left and bottom sides of the TV.
The TV supports screen mirroring with Android and iOS devices. I was able to successfully cast my phone and my iPad onto the TV. Users can also add a USB drive and view the media files stored on it.
The only other Linux-based TV from a known manufacturer that competes with the Infinix 43Y1 smart is the Vu Premium (43-inch), which is priced at Rs 17,999 (~$221).
The Ultraviolette F77 electric sports bike has just been launched in the Indian market. The new F77 is a premium model from the company and is also the most expensive electric sports bike available in the region. So let’s have a look.
For those unaware, the company is a local EV startup with the F77 electric motorcycle being its first ever product. The F77 comes with an updated frame and newly created batteries and was just recently displayed during the brand’s demonstration of the F77. As of right now, the company has showcased the F77 and the F77 Recon models, which will both go on sale in the local market soon. Furthermore, there will also be a set of limited edition F77 models and only 77 units of these will be manufactured.
These will also carry the numbers ranging from 001 to 077. Talking about the e-bike itself, the Gen2 F77 is powered by a 10.5kWh battery with 2.5 times the battery capacity. Ultraviolette will also be providing two types of chargers, namely regular and boost that offer 36 km/h and 70 km/h charging respectively. Being a sports bike, it also comes with a modern racing aesthetic with an angular body and the company’s unique light design. It also comes with a 5 inch display, dual channel ABS, adjustable suspension, and multiple drive modes.
The Ultraviolette F77 has just been launched in the Indian market for a starting price tag of 3.8 lakhs INR, while the F77 Recon will be available for around 4.55 lakh INR. Lastly, the limited edition models will go for around 5.55 lakh INR.

Vivo’s sub-brand iQOO is all set to launch its new flagship smartphone under the iQOO 11 series along with the iQOO Neo 7 SE smartphone at a launch event on 2nd December in its home country China.
Now, just days before the official launch event, the company has shared a new teaser poster that reveals some information about the iQOO 11 series’ processor and memory.
As per the teaser poster shared by the company, the iQOO 11 series will come powered by the newly announced Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, and it will be coupled with LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 internal storage.
A recently shared render of the iQOO 11 in a color edition inspired by BMW M Motorsport with a three-color stipe has revealed that the phone will come with a flat display on the front and a triple-camera setup on the back, which will be driven by Vivo V2 ISP.
The iQOO 11 flagship smartphone will come with a 6.78-inch AMOLED display offering a screen resolution of 3200 x 1440 pixels, a 144Hz refresh rate, a 300Hz touch sampling rate, and an independent display chip.
In the camera department, there will be a 50-megapixel primary sensor on the back, coupled with a 13-megapixel ultra-wide lens and an 8-megapixel macro sensor. On the front side, the device will have a 16-megapixel snapper for taking selfies and video calling. It will run Android 13 OS with OriginOS 3 on top and will be powered by a 4,700mAh battery with support for 200W fast charging.
The launch of the Xiaomi 13 series is expected to be just a few weeks away. However, prior to any official announcement, a new benchmark listing has revealed some of the device’s key specifications. So let’s have a look.
The Chinese tech giant’s upcoming flagship smartphone was spotted on the popular benchmarking website called GeekBench. For those unaware, the new Xiaomi 13 series is expected to consist of two models, namely the base 13 and the higher end 13 Pro model. Now, the base variant has surfaced on GeekBench, which revealed that it will feature Qualcomm’s latest and greatest Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC.
The online database also revealed that this chipset will be paired with at least 12GB of RAM. Although we can expect higher memory variants and a starting RAM option of 8GB as well. The GeekBench 5 listing also revealed that the device will carry the 2211133C model number and will run on Android 13 OS based MIUI out of the box. In the benchmarks, the Xiaomi 13 scored 1497 points in the single core test and 5089 points in the multi core tests.
Unfortunately, this was all the information revealed regarding the new high end smartphone. We have already covered a number of leaks about the premium grade handset. Based on these previous reports, we know that the device will feature Leica lenses for its rear cameras, run MIUI 14 custom skin out of the box, and even recently revealed its design through leaked CAD renders.
Handheld gaming consoles are making a comeback in the market with multiple brands launching consoles based on cloud gaming and emulation of older generation consoles. Some good examples would be the Steam deck, the Logitech G Cloud, and OneXPlayer mini Pro.
Now, Game Kiddy (GKD) finally appears to be ready to launch the GKD Mini Plus console, along with Mini Plus Classic in the European market. For those unaware, both the Mini Plus and Mini Plus Classic are portable gaming devices. But unlike the Mini Plus, the latter lacks a detachable element. The Mini Plus Classic, when taken out of its casing, has a bigger footprint than the Mini Plus since its two joysticks are fixed.
Aside from the structural difference, the consoles rock a 3.5-inch display and a resolution of 640 x 480 pixels. Both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity are supported on the devices.
The entry-level Rockchip RK2566 with four ARM Cortex-A55 CPU cores running at 1.8GHz and a Mali-G52 GPU power the GKD Mini Plus. It includes a 3,000mAh battery and 1GB of RAM. Along with quad shoulder buttons, it also has many more buttons. The portable has a USB-C connector that may be used for data transfer and charging. The gadget also includes a 3.5mm audio jack and two microSD card readers.
The GKD Mini Plus consoles are capable of emulating over 2,500 games including games from Game Boy and Game Boy Advance consoles. The Mini Plus Classic will soon be offered on Kickstarter for US$139 before going up to US$279, claims GKD. Although you can already reserve a unit on the Game Kiddy website for US$1, the company has not stated when the product would be available on the crowdfunding platform.
