Oppo is known for selling its F series phones under Reno Z and Reno Lite brandings in different markets. This year’s F21 Pro 5G is sold under Oneplus Nord N branding as well. Additionally, new renders have now leaked suggesting that the smartphone will also go by yet another Reno Lite device.
Twitter user @_snoopytech_ has shared renders of alleged Oppo Reno 8 Lite 5G, a handset that’s yet to go official. Going by the images, the phone looks the same as the Oppo Reno 7 Lite 5G, which is nothing but a rebranded Oppo F21 Pro 5G.
If these renders are legit, then for the first time, Oppo would be releasing the same device as two generations of smartphones. We are as confused as you are. Probably, the Reno 8 Lite 5G will launch in the markets where the Reno 7 Lite 5G did not.
At present, it’s not known when this so-called Oppo Reno 8 Lite 5G will be made official. Anyway, we are looking forward to learning about its availability and price.
Recently, we reviewed the Indian version of this handset (Oppo F21 Pro 5G) by comparing it with Oppo F21 Pro (aka Oppo Reno 7 Lite). Do check it out to learn whether it is a good deal, at least in India.

OnePlus is apparently planning on adding another offering to its popular mid range series of Nord smartphones. Now, the latest model is called the Nord 2T, which was recently spotted on a certification website that hints at its imminent launch.
According to a known tipster Abhishek Yadav, the Chinese smartphone maker’s upcoming Nord 2T was just spotted on NBTC, a certification website. For those unaware, the Nord 2T moniker was recently confirmed after the device was spotted for the first time on TDRA, which is another certification website. Although, the NBTC listing has also confirmed the device’s model number CPH2399. Notably, this model is expected to be a slightly upgraded version of the Nord 2.
Unfortunately, both of these listings did not reveal any finer details regarding the smartphone itself. But as per our previous report, the Nord 2T is expected to sport a 6.43 inch fluid AMOLED display that has a 90Hz refresh rate and a Full HD+ resolution, with a corner punch hole cut out. Under the hood, the handset may pack an octa core MediaTek Dimensity 1300 processor and a Mali G77 GPU.
Reportedly, the Nord 2T will feature a triple camera setup on the rear. Based on a Camera FV5 listing, the primary camera will consist of a 50 megapixel shooter that is a Sony IMX766 sensor. This lens will be paired with an 8 megapixel ultra wide angle sensor and a 2 megapixel auxiliary camera. The front could sport a 32 megapixel selfie shooter. A large 4,500mAh battery pack may power the device, which supports 80W fast charging.
It appears that OnePlus is on a launch spree. The company recently launched the OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite 5G and OnePlus 10R in the Indian markets. Now, a report suggests that the Chinese tech brand is prepping up to bring another Nord series smartphone to the country.
Tipster Mukul Sharma reveals that he has spotted the “OnePlus Nord 3” on the company’s India website. The tipster hasn’t seen any official images or features of the smartphone, but the appearance of the moniker alone suggests that the launch of the OnePlus Nord 3 is imminent.
The Nord series has been a massive success for the company, and that’s why OnePlus is dedicated to adding new smartphones to the series. The company is also rumored to launch the Nord 2T soon.
According to recent reports, OnePlus started private testing of a smartphone code-named Meili and now the appearance of the OnePlus Nord 3 on the company website suggests that Meili could be the same phone.
From what we know so far, the Nord 2 successor might come with a Dimensity 8100 chipset and could feature a 6.7-inch AMOLED display that will deliver a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2412 pixels. The new Nord smartphone is likely to carry support for a 120Hz refresh rate. The handset is said to have the punch-hole camera placed at the top-center position, unlike most OnePlus phones on the market.
The alleged Nord 3 is likely to arrive with a 16-megapixel camera for taking selfies. The back of the phone may feature a Sony IMX766 50-megapixel main camera with an f/1.8 aperture. It could be accompanied by an 8-megapixel camera and a 2-megapixel snapper.
The upcoming OnePlus phone is said to be equipped with 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage. The phone’s fuel tank could carry a 4,500mAh battery and an extreme 150W fast charging.

ZTE is all set to officially unveil the next-generation flagship smartphones under the Axon lineup in the form of Axon 40, Axon 40 Pro, and Axon 40 Ultra on 9th May in China.
Ahead of the official launch next week, the company has been teasing the key features of the devices. In the latest teaser poster, ZTE has revealed the specifications related to the display panel used in the upcoming phones.
The company has confirmed that the Axon 40 series smartphones come with a display that supports a 120Hz refresh rate and a 360Hz multi-touch sampling rate. Further, it is also revealed that the phones will have support for IR remote control functions.
Recently, the Chinese company confirmed that the smartphones will come equipped with an independent security chip for hardware-level protection. In the camera department, the Axon 40 Pro will feature a 100-megapixel camera setup.
The ZTE Axon 40 Ultra smartphone was listed on a Chinese retailer and the listing had a render of the smartphone, giving us a clear look at the phone’s front panel and back panel for the first time since leaks and rumors started surfacing online.
It was previously revealed that the ZTE Axon 40 Ultra will have a triple-camera setup with a 64MP Sony IMX787 primary sensor, a 64MP ultra-wide OmniVision OV64GB sensor, and a 64MP OmniVision OV64GB telephoto lens.
Earlier, it was confirmed that the Axon 40 series will come with next-generation stereo speakers that could provide an out-of-this-world audio experience. The devices also have support for Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Sound and dtsX Ultrasound technology.
The Axon 40 lineup will come powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset. It will also come with an under-display camera setup and an almost bezel-less display panel. We expect the company to confirm more details through teaser posters in the coming days.
Apple is set to launch the next-generation iPhone 14 series later this year but reports about the iPhone models set to launch next year have also surfaced online. Now, we have got some more information about the iPhone 15 lineup.
As per the report, the Cupertino-based technology giant is set to ditch Qualcomm for the cellular modem and instead, the company will use its own self-developed 5G modem from next year, i.e. 2023.
This has been in the making for the past few years, since 2019 when the company acquired the majority of Intel‘s smartphone-modem business as well as a team of 2,200 employees.
Apple is also advertising around 140 open positions for the development and integration of cellular modem chips. The company is running these advertisements in San Diego, which is the hometown of Qualcomm.
While Qualcomm is currently supplying 100 percent of the cellular modems used in the iPhone lineup, the company’s CEO had said last year that it expects to supply 20 percent of the 5G models for the Apple iPhone from 2023.
The usage of a self-developed or proprietary 5G modem has several advantages for Apple. It will reduce the brand’s reliance on a third-party vendor. It will also help the company save costs on the components.
As the company makes its own chipset that powers iPhones, it can also integrate the modem in the A-series chips and tweak the configuration as Apple sees fit, including making it faster, more efficient, etc.
It’s noteworthy that analysts believe that Apple may struggle with designing, manufacturing, and testing the new cellular modem as it is a time-consuming process.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED), which is a central probe agency in India, has confirmed that it has seized assets worth around $725 million (₹5,500 crore) from Chinese giant Xiaomi over violations of the Indian foreign exchange law.
While the agency has taken action against Xiaomi Technology India Private Limited, the company, which does business in India under the Mi brand is claiming that all its operations “are firmly compliant” with the local laws and regulations.
The Enforcement Directorate has said that it had seized the sum from the bank accounts of Xiaomi Technology India Pvt. Ltd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Xiaomi Inc., under the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA), 1999.
The agency is claiming that the subsidiary had been making remittances to three foreign entities, one of which was a Xiaomi entity, “on the instructions” of its Chinese parent. It has been probing the company since February over alleged forex violations. It had also questioned Xiaomi’s Global Vice President Manu Kumar Jain last month, who was also the Indian head of the company.
In a statement, the agency said that “Xiaomi India procures completely manufactured mobile sets and other products from the manufacturers in India. Xiaomi India has not availed any service from the three foreign-based entities to whom such amounts have been transferred. Under the cover of various unrelated documentary façades created amongst the group entities, the company remitted this amount in the guise of royalty abroad which constitutes a violation of Section 4 of the FEMA. The Company also provided misleading information to the banks while remitting the money abroad.”
Countering the claims made by the Enforcement Directorate, Xiaomi India said in a statement that “these royalty payments that Xiaomi India made were for the in-licensed technologies and IPs used in our Indian version products. It is a legitimate commercial arrangement for Xiaomi India to make such royalty payments. However, we are committed to working closely with government authorities to clarify any misunderstandings.”
Last year, the premises of Xiaomi and a few other Chinese mobile manufacturing companies were raided across the country by the Income Tax Department on the charges of tax evasion. Xiaomi continues to lead the Indian smartphone market with around 22 percent market share in Q4 2021.
The Motorola Moto G52 recently debuted in the Indian market after the previous launch in the European market with great specifications offered at a killer price. It is an amazing phone for those who do not need the 5G connectivity and want to save a lot of money while purchasing a new device. It is definitely one of the best competitors of the best-selling Redmi Note 11 by Xiaomi’s sub-brand. These two handsets have similar specs sheets, that is the reason why it is very hard to choose between them, especially for non-expert people. This comparison between the specifications of the Motorola Moto G52 and the Redmi Note 11 will clear your ideas in regards to the differences between these two devices.

Design
The design of the Motorola Moto G52 looks more suggestive because this phone is more similar to high-end devices in terms of aesthetics. Its rear side includes a camera island with the same color as the rest of the body, which is one of the main reasons why it looks so beautiful. On the other hand, the Redmi Note 11 is a more compact phone and it features the IP53 certification making it dust resistant and splash resistant. And despite being smaller and having the same battery capacity, the Redmi Note 11 is almost as thin as the Motorola Moto G52. Both the phones have narrow bezels and a punch hole placed centrally.
Display
One of the strongest points of these two handsets if we consider their price range is the display. Despite being budget phones, they are equipped with great AMOLED displays showing bright colors and deep blacks. Further, they come with a Full HD+ resolution (with 1080 x 2400 pixels) and a 90 Hz refresh rate. The specifications of these two displays are more or less the same, but the diagonals are different: the Redmi Note 11 has a smaller 6.43-inch panel, while the Motorola Moto G52 comes with a 6.6-inch display. They are OLED panels, but the fingerprint reader is not embedded under the display: it is side-mounted on the power key. Both the handsets feature good stereo speakers and they include a 3.5 mm audio jack.
Hardware/Software
With the Redmi Note 11 and the Motorola Moto G52, you get the same mobile platform: an octa-core Snapdragon 680 built at 6 nm and running at a max frequency of 2.4 GHz, without the 5G connectivity. But the highest-end memory configurations are different: the Redmi Note 11 gives you up to 6 GB of RAM and up to 128 GB of UFS 2.2 internal storage, while the Motorola Moto G52 stops at 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of non-UFS 2.2 native storage. You can expand the internal storage with a micro SD. However, there is an important pro of the Motorola budget phone: it ships with Android 12 out of the box, while the Redmi one comes with Android 11 out of the box, customized by MIUI 13.
Camera
If you are looking for a most complete rear camera setup, then you should go for the Redmi Note 11: it has the same 50 MP main sensor, the same 8 MP ultrawide camera, and the same 2 MP macro lens as the Motorola Moto G52, but it adds a 2 MP depth sensor. On the other hand, the Motorola low cost comes with a better selfie camera coming with a 16 MP resolution. Having a better selfie camera is definitely more important than having a 2 MP depth sensor.
Battery
These two phones come with the same battery capacity: 5000 mAh. Even fast charging technologies are similar: you get 33W fast charging and 30W fast charging, respectively. But the Redmi Note 11 should last a bit more on a single charge because it has a smaller display with lower energy consumption.
Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 vs Motorola Moto G52: Price
You need at least Rs. 14,499 / $189 to purchase the Motorola Moto G52 in its base variant, and the Redmi Note 11 starts from the same listing price. So which one is the best? As you see, the differences are just marginal, so this is one of the few comparisons in which the result is a draw. Choose depending on your personal needs.

After teasing the launch of the Redmi Note 12 series, it seems that smartphones may not be the only best-selling devices that Redmi plans to launch this year as a recent MIUI 13 survey published in China reveals that Redmi is currently developing a tablet of its own, the Redmi Pad 5G.
The survey was published last week on April 30 by Xiaomi on the Chinese MIUI Forum. The survey in question is to gather feedback on the latest update for Xiaomi’s MIUI 13 Magic Sharing service in China, a service to Apple’s Airdrop, which allowed Xiaomi devices to transfer files and data seamlessly across the MIUI ecosystem.

Lenovo has launched the ThinkPad Neo 14 for its China market. The ThinkPad Neo 14 is a 14-inch ThinkPad that bears some semblance to the ThinkBook 14p. The China-exclusive ThinkPad Neo 14 has the previous codename ThinkPad E14 Pro and comes with decent features.
As reflected in its name, the ThinkPad Neo 14 has a 14-inch, 2.2K display with a 16:10 aspect ratio. Its design is a departure from the ThinkPad E series as it adopted a classical top base hinge design. The hinge design created space at the rear for placing the cooling fan exhausts, as well as the USB-A and HDMI ports.
The ThinkPad Neo 14 features the ThinkPad keyboard and TrackPoint, and the CPU is Intel Alder-Lake. The CPU has the option of being equipped with the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2050 GPU. The battery capacity of the ThinkPad Neo 14 is 57 Wh and the device has a RAM capacity of up to 32GB.
China-based customers can get the ThinkPad Neo 14 laptop starting at the equivalent of $1,150. It will come in black and silver aluminum chassis, but there are no indications yet that it could be available in select markets subsequently. The ThinkPad brand was formerly under IBM. Lenovo acquired IBM’s PC division in 2005, thus taking ownership of the ThinkPad brand.
