Last month, Huawei unveiled the Mate 50 Pro for the European market. The brand stated that the flagship smartphone would soon be available to purchase at €1,299 for the 8GB RAM and 256GB storage model. Now, the brand has opened pre-orders for the device in Europe. So, let’s take a look at the pricing and offers.
Huawei Mate 50 Pro pre-order price, offers
Huawei has priced the Mate 50 Pro 8GB + 256GB model at €1,199, which is €100 less than their previously announced price. With every pre-order, Huawei will also pitch in the Huawei FreeBuds Pro, which roughly costs €180 in the Eurozone, for free. You can place a pre-order by heading to your regional Huawei website. Shipping for the pre-orders will begin on November 10.
The 512GB storage model which the brand initially announced is yet to be made available. It will be interesting to see if that model will also receive a similar price cut as Huawei initially announced that it will cost €1,399.
Huawei Mate 50 Pro specs & features
The Huawei Mate 50 Pro has a 6.74-inch OLED display with a refresh rate of 120Hz, over a billion colors, and a resolution of 2616 x 1212 pixels. A notch on the top of the screen houses a 3D depth-sensing facial unlocking technology.
The smartphone is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor, which is paired with 8GB of RAM. There are two internal storage options available from the company: 256GB and 512GB.
The camera has a 50-megapixel main RYYB sensor and is described as an “Ultra Aperture Camera” with optical image stabilization and the option to manually modify the aperture.

The exact launch date of the Realme 10 series remains a mystery, however, multiple reports suggest that the smartphones may debut on November 9th globally and the first sale commencing November 11th.
The Realme 10 4G was spotted in leaked renders last week. It is expected to come in Clash White and Rush Black colours with a glossy sparkling gradient pattern. There are two traditional camera rings housing dual sensors with an LED flash ring and a 50MP camera text. As for the core specifications, rumours suggest that the Realme 10 4G will come with a 6.4-inch AMOLED display with a punch-hole cutout. It will offer an FHD+ resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate. Under the hood, the device is tipped to be equipped with an Helio G99 chipset paired with up to 8GB RAM and 128GB of storage. The smartphone will reportedly be backed by a 5,000mAh battery with 33W fast charging.
As per one tipster, the Realme 10 4G is said to be priced between $190-$210 (Rs 15,700- Rs 17,200).
OPPO could be working on its most powerful A-series phone for the Chinese market. Earlier this week, tipster Digital Chat Station claimed through a Weibo post that a new A-series OPPO phone would feature a punch-hole display with curved edges. The leak revealed that the phone will come with the highest megapixel count camera and the fastest wired charging solution ever seen on an A-series phone. In a new Weibo post, DCS seems to have leaked some more information about the same device. There is a possibility that the device will be released in China with the “OPPO A98” moniker.
The new information that the tipster shared suggests that the alleged OPPO A98’s dispaly will have a 120Hz refresh rate and a Full HD+ resolution. According to his previous Weibo post, the screen will offer up to 2160Hz PWM dimming. The handset will offer a high screen-to-body ratio as it will have a 3.3x mm chin.
OPPO A97
The Qualcomm chip with the part number SM7325 will power the alleged OPPO A98. Hence, it appears that the device will be powered by the Snapdragon 778G mobile platform. The leak has no information on the RAM and storage editions of the A98.
The device will come equipped with a 108-megapixel camera on the back. However, the leak does not mention anything about the auxiliary and selfie cameras on the device. It will pack a 5,000mAh battery that supports 67W fast charging.
DCS also said that OPPO will soon put out new mid-range phones on the Chinese and international markets. However, he did not share any information on their specifications. The Chinese manufacturer is expected to launch the Reno 9 series in November in China. In December, it is expected to announce the Find N2 and Find N Flip devices.
Last week, Realme phones with RMX3663 and RMX3687 model numbers were certified by China’s 3C and TENAA regulatory bodies. Later, another phone with the RMX3615 model number was in the databases of both platforms. Before, the TENAA listing for the RMX3615 only showed pictures, but now it has all of its specifications.
Realme RMX3615 specifications
The Realme RMX3615 has 164.4 x 75.1 x 8.1mm dimensions and weighs around 194 grams. It houses a 6.58-inch LCD panel that offers a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2408 pixels. The device packs a 5,000mAh battery, which is likely to carry support for 33W fast charging, as per its 3C certification.
Realme RMX3615 TENAA images
The device is powered by an octa-core processor that works at 2.2GHz, but there is no information on its exact name. The phone is expected to arrive with 6 GB, 8 GB, and 12 GB of RAM and will come in multiple storage options like 64 GB, 128 GB, and 256 GB of built-in storage.
On the front, the RMX3615 features an 8-megapixel selfie camera. The triple camera unit available on its back has a 50-megapixel main snapper, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a 2-megapixel depth assist lens.
The RMX3615 has a side-mounted fingerprint sensor. It is unclear whether the device will come preloaded with Android 12 or the latest Android 13 OS. At present, there is no information on the final marketing name of the RMX3615.
The RMX3663 model is expected to arrive with the Realme 10 5G moniker, while the RMX3687 is likely to be called the Realme 10 Pro or Pro+ 5G. While both phones sport a similar design, the RMX3615 has a different design language. Hence, it is unclear whether it belongs to the Realme 10 family or different series.
Compact flagships are not a common thing anymore, especially after Apple decided to ditch the mini variant of the iPhone in favor of the iPhone 14 Plus. But there are still several compact high-end phones out there. One of the latest is the Google Pixel 7 sporting amazing specifications and sold at a very interesting price, but with compact dimensions as well. It is time for everyone to understand whether or not the latest Pixel is the best compact flagship out there. And there is no better way to understand it than comparing it to the best compact device from the other brands. Here is a comparison between the main specifications of the Google Pixel 7 and the Xiaomi 12 which will help you to find it out.
I love the design of the Google Pixel 7 because it is very original. The phone sports a horizontal camera module and it is very rare to find a horizontal module on flagship phones. The module is made of recycled aluminum and the frame of the device is made of aluminum too, while the rear side is made of glass and protected by Gorilla Glass Victus just like the front glass. So, with this device, you get premium materials and great build quality. The handset is even waterproof and dustproof with the IP68 certification. The Xiaomi 12 is made of premium materials too, including glass for the back protected by Gorilla Glass 5, a front glass protected by Gorilla Glass Victus, and an aluminum frame. It is premium as well, but the Pixel is actually superior in terms of build quality.
Display
If we consider the specs on the paper, the Xiaomi 12 looks to have a superior display. It has an AMOLED panel able to show up to 68 billion colors with a diagonal of 6.28 inches, a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels, a 120 Hz refresh rate, Dolby Vision support, HDR10+ certification, and an in-display fingerprint scanner. With the Google Pixel 7, you get an AMOLED display with a diagonal of 6.3 inches, a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels, a 90 Hz refresh rate, HDR10+ certification, and an in-display fingerprint reader. Both phones feature stereo speakers for an improved audio experience, but they have no 3.5 mm audio jack.
Specs & Software
The hardware found on the Xiaomi 12 is more powerful than the hardware found on the Google Pixel 7, so if you choose it, you will actually get higher performance. The Xiaomi 12 is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 mobile platform built with a 4 nm production process and with an octa-core architecture composed of a Cortex X2 CPU running at a max frequency of 3 GHz, three Cortex A710 CPUs running at 2.5 GHz, four Cortex A510 CPUs running at 1.8 GHz, and an Adreno 730 GPU. The chipset is paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS 3.1 native storage. The Google Pixel 7 has an inferior Google Tensor G2 processor built at 5 nm, 8 GB of RAM, and up to 256 GB of UFS 3.1 native storage. On the other hand, it runs a more recent Android version out of the box (Android 13) and it will get faster software support.
Camera
If you are looking for the most advanced camera setup, you should go for the Google Pixel 7 as Google managed to obtain an amazing camera algorithm for stunning photo quality. The handset sports a 50 MP main camera with OIS, a 12 MP ultrawide sensor, and a 10.8 MP front camera able to record 4K videos at 60 fps. The Xiaomi 12 has a triple camera including a 50 MP main sensor, a 13 MP ultrawide shooter, a 5 MP telephoto macro camera, and a 32 MP selfie shooter.
The Xiaomi 12 is equipped with a bigger battery, but the difference is just marginal, so you should not notice big differences in terms of battery life. But the Xiaomi 12 charges a lot quicker thanks to 67W fast charging and 50W fast wireless charging.
Price
You can currently find the Xiaomi 12 with price tags under €650 or $650, which is the same price as the Google Pixel 7. Which one would you pick?
Xiaomi 13 series is in the works and may launch by the end of this year. While we wait for an official confirmation, an IMEI database listing confirms the existence of a new 13 series smartphone, dubbed Xiaomi 13 Lite. The handset is rumored to be a rebranded version of Xiaomi Civi 2, which debuted last month in China, equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 processor. Let’s look at the details.
As per a report by Pricebaba, Xiaomi 13 Lite has made its appearance on the IMEI database with the model number 2210129SG. The “G” at the end of the model number means that this device will be for the global market. Further, the report claims that Xiaomi 13 Lite will debut as a rebranded version of the Xiaomi Civi 2.
Interestingly, the smartphone’s model number is exactly the same as the rumored Xiaomi 12 Lite 5G NE. This means both of these devices could essentially be the same but aimed for different markets. Or maybe the company is still trying to figure out which name is better.
Xiaomi CIVI 2 Specifications
For the uninitiated, Xiaomi Civi is a female-centric smartphone series, which is exclusive to Mainland China. The latest Civi 2 comes with a 120Hz Curved AMOLED display that produces a Full HD+ resolution. The display has a pill-shaped cutout for the selfie cameras at the top center of the display.
It is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 processor paired with up to 12GB LPDDR4X RAM and up to 256GB UFS 2.2 storage. Its major highlight is its front camera system. The device has dual 32-megapixel sensors on the front. While on the back, there is a triple camera setup comprising a 50MP Sony IMX766 primary sensor, a 20MP Sony IMX376K ultra-wide sensor, and a 2MP macro unit. It has a 4,500mAh battery and supports 67W fast-wired charging.
Two new displays from ViewSonic have been introduced. The VA3209-MH and VA3209-2K-MHD are 32-inch monitors with a focus on general usage and media consumption.
ViewSonic VA3209-MH & VA3209-2K-MHD specs
ViewSonic states that the monitors have 1,200:1 contrast ratios, 250 cd/m2 peak brightness, and Adaptive Sync to reduce image tearing. Despite their titles, ViewSonic has chosen to use IPS panels, not VA ones, in both monitors.
ViewSonic also states that the VA3209-MH and the VA3209-2K-MHD offer 75 Hz refresh rates, 4 ms reaction times (GtG), 72% NTSC and 104% sRGB color gamut coverages, and 75 Hz refresh rates. ViewSonic claims that the VA3209-MH can only create 16.7 million colors and runs at 1080p with an 8-bit color display. In contrast, the VA3209-2K-MHD combines a 10-bit color panel (8-bit Plus FRC) with a 2,560 x 1,440-pixel resolution.
Similarly, the VA3209-MH has single HDMI and VGA ports, compared to the twin HDMI ports and single DisplayPort connections that the VA3209-2K-MHD provides. Conversely, both monitors have 2.5 W stereo speakers, adjustable stands, and 100 x 100 mm VESA mounts.
Pricing& availability
The VA3209-MH costs €199, and the VA3209-2K-MHD costs €259 from ViewSonic. To know about the availability of the monitors in your region, you can visit the company’s website.
Last year, Sony launched the Sony Xperia Pro-I, which is an Alpha camera-influenced smartphone aimed mainly at content creators and photography/videography enthusiasts. It features a massive 1-inch sensor that is capable of capturing scenes in great detail.
The smartphone has recently received a new OTA update that adds the ability to live-stream directly from the Videography Pro app for the device’s camera UI, potentially making it simpler and more efficient to use on social media platforms. In order to facilitate any future editing, the update also ensures that a file’s metadata accurately represents the fact that this new option is activated when shooting in portrait at 120 frames per second.
Those who have both the Pro-I and the GP-VPT2BT accessories benefit from this OTA as well. Owners of the Xperia Pro-I will be able to access the “custom” C1 button on the mini tripod/grip via the same Videography Pro software for more direct reprogramming.
Sony Xperia PRO-I specs & features
The Sony Xperia Pro-I launched last year with a price tag of $1,800. For this price, users get a 6.5-inch 4K OLED display with support for a 120Hz refresh rate.

Additionally, the gadget has a microSD card slot that enables you to increase the tablet’s storage capacity by up to 1TB.
The device has three camera lenses, each of which has a 3D iToF sensor and ZEISS T* anti-reflective coating. A recently created 24mm lens uses ZEISS Tessar Optics to produce high-resolution images with less peripheral image distortion and greater contrast and sharpness. The 1-inch sensor on the smartphone is borrowed from the RX100 VII camera and it supports RAW 12-bit shooting for incredible dynamic range, and dual aperture that goes from f/2.0 to f/4.0 for changing the depth of field.
A 12-megapixel 16mm f/2.2 ultrawide sensor and a second 12-megapixel 50mm f/2.4 2x optical telephoto sensor are combined with the 24-mm lens. There’s a monaural microphone next to the main camera for clear speech recording.
It has compatibility with Wi-Fi 6 and 5G in addition to the standard range of connectivity options. The smartphone is powered by a 4,500mAh battery that supports 30W rapid charging technology and runs the Android operating system.

Design
The best design in my opinion belongs to the Redmi Note 12 Pro, specifically in the pink color variant. But the vanilla version is actually thinner, so it is easier to use with one hand. All of these phones are not built with premium materials but they come with the good build quality and the IP53 certification making them dust resistant and splash resistant.
Display
The Pro and the Pro Plus variant are equipped with the same display, better than the one found on the vanilla version. it is an OLED panel able to show up to one billion colors with a diagonal of 6.67 inches, a 120 Hz refresh rate, Dolby Vision support, and HDR10+ certification. Unlike the vanilla version, they come with an in-display fingerprint reader and stereo speakers.
Specs & Software
The Redmi Note 12 has an entry-level Qualcomm chipset from the last generation: the Snapdragon 4 Gen 1. With the Pro and the Pro Plus variants, you get a high-end Dimensity 1080 mobile platform by Mediatek running at a max frequency of 2.6 GHz and paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of internal storage. All of the variants run Android 12 out of the box, customized with MIUI 13.
Camera
The best camera setup belongs to the Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus: it is equipped with a triple rear camera including a main 200 MP sensor with OIS, an 8 MP ultrawide shooter, and a 2 MP macro lens, while on the front, there is a 16 MP camera. The Redmi Note 12 Pro takes the silver medal with a 50 MP main sensor with OIS and the same secondary sensors, as well as the same front camera. The vanilla version has a disappointing 48 MP main camera paired with a 2 MP depth sensor.
All the variants of the Redmi Note 12 are equipped with the same battery capacity: 5000 mAh. Given that their components have more or less the same energy consumption, you should not expect big differences in terms of battery life. But there are important differences when it comes to the charging speeds: the Pro Plus variant supports 120W fast charging, the Pro one has 67W fast charging, and the vanilla version supports 33W fast charging.
Price
The vanilla Redmi Note 12 is available in the Chinese market with a starting price tag of €170 or $170 at the actual change, the Pro variant starts from €240 or $240, and the Pro Plus begins at €300 or $300. Which one would you pick?

Xiaomi has quietly shut down its Mi Financial Services business in India. The decision has been taken as part of its strategic assessment activity and to place a greater emphasis on the core business services in the country. The company has removed its Mi Pay as well as Mi Credit apps from the Google Play Store and its own app store in India.
Mi Pay, which was launched in India in 2019, has more than 20 million users in the country. The payments app is no longer listed among the recognized UPI apps by NPCI, an umbrella organization that facilitates UPI payments and other services in the country.
Later, the company also introduced the Mi Credit app, which lent customers between $70 to $1,400 at comparatively low-interest rates. The app apparently accessed users’ texts and call logs to look for transaction information and some other details in order to determine their creditworthiness and granted loans to them through partners within minutes.
“As part of the annual strategic assessment activity and as a response to enhanced focus on our core business services, we closed the Mi Financial Services in March 2022. In a short span of 4 years, we were able to connect and support thousands of customers. We are working with our partners and supporting our consumers during this process,” a Xiaomi spokesperson said.
Earlier this year, India’s federal financial crime agency froze $676 million worth of Xiaomi’s assets for allegedly making illegal remittances via royalty payments to foreign entities. However, Xiaomi denies any wrongdoing and has said the action “effectively halted” its operations in its key Indian market.
