Microsoft recently released the beta version of the Windows 11 operating system and developers are already experimenting with it. Soon after the first preview of Windows 11 was released, the OS was ported to Lumia 950 XL smartphone.
Now, in a further development related to that, a new dialer for the smartphone has been added that is designed to run on Windows instead of Windows Mobile. Simone Franco, a Computer Engineering student has created this dialer.
Along with the addition of a dialer, there’s also a new contact page with an alphanumeric bar next to the scroll bar that allows users to quickly find contacts.
Last month, Gustave Monce had successfully installed Windows 11 preview build on the Lumia 950 XL smartphone which is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon series chipset and has ARM-based support. In a video shared by the developer, the smartphone runs the full version of the Windows 11 operating system without major issues.
There seems to be some noteworthy performance improvement on the Lumia 950 XL running Windows 11 compared to Windows 10 which was ported earlier. This shows the increasing compatibility and could soon pave way for more ARM-based devices running the Windows operating system relatively smoothly.
Xiaomi is all set to announce its new devices at a launch event tomorrow in China. The company will be launching the Mi MIX 4, Mi Pad 5, a stylus, next-generation OLED Smart TV, a high-end smart speaker, and more.
With all these devices in the pipeline, there’s another device the Chinese company is gearing up to launch. Xiaomi is preparing to launch a new model under its current-generation Mi 11 series flagship lineup, dubbed Xiaomi Mi 11T.
Xiaomi’s Mi 10T Pro 5G
Ahead of its official launch, the Mi 11T smartphone has been certified in Indonesia. The phone, which carries model number 21081111RG, is said to come powered by the MediaTek Dimensity processor.
However, at this time, the exact model of the chipset is not known. Given that it’s a flagship-grade smartphone, we expect the device to come powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 1200 SoC.
It’s noteworthy that this will be the first smartphone from Xiaomi in the Mi 11 lineup to come packed with a MediaTek chipset. All the devices launched so far in this series come powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon processor.
Similar to its predecessor, this upcoming smartphone is expected to come in two different models — Mi 11T and Mi 11T Pro. Recently, the tipster Digital Chat Station claimed that the Mi 11T and Mi 11T Pro will feature a 120Hz OLED display instead of the 144Hz LCD screen found in the Mi 10T series.
As of now, there’s not much known about these new upcoming smartphones but we expect the devices to get launched in the coming weeks. The company is also working on Mi 11 Lite NE model for the Indian market.
Earlier this week, a Vivo phone with model number V2105 was spotted at the Indonesia Telecom certification site. The listing confirmed that this device will be arriving in Indonesia as the Vivo X70 Pro. The same handset has paid a visit to the Geekbench benchmarking site (via) to reveal some of its key specs.
The V2105 Vivo smartphone’s Geekbench listing reveals that it is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 1200 chip. The SoC is mentioned with its MT6893Z_C/CZA model number in the listing.
The Geekbench listing further states that it has 12 GB of RAM, and it runs on Android 11 OS. In the single-core and multi-core tests of Geekbench, the handset scored 859 and 2638 points, respectively.
Recently, a Vivo phone with a V2014 model number was also spotted at the same benchmarking site. It was also found to be equipped with the Dimensity 1200 SoC, 12 GB of RAM, and Android 11 OS.
The global editions of the Vivo X60 and X60 Pro that debuted earlier this year were found to be equipped with identical specs. The only noticeable difference between the two devices is that the Vivo X60 has OIS support, whereas the X60 Pro is equipped with micro-gimbal stabilization. Hence, it appears that the X70 and X70 Pro could be equipped with identical specs, and they may differ mainly in the camera department.
Past reports have claimed that the Vivo X70 lineup may go official by mid-September in India. The X70 may cost around Rs 45,000 (~$604), whereas the X70 Pro could be priced at around Rs 50,000 (~$671). The X70 Pro+ could be priced at around Rs 70,000 (~$939).
Yesterday, HMD Global announced the Nokia C20 Plus smartphone in India. The company also announced four other phones such as the Nokia XR20 5G, Nokia G10, Nokia C30, and Nokia C01 Plus.
While the Nokia C20 Plus is already up for purchase, the company is yet to confirm the pricing and availability of the Nokia XR20 5G, G10, C30, and C01 Plus. The XR20 is the first 5G-ready Nokia phone to arrive in India.
Buyers of the Nokia G10, C30, C20 Plus, and C01 Plus in India can benefit from a 10 percent discount through the Reliance Jio offer. The Nokia C30 that debuted in global markets runs on Android 11 (Go edition). The company will be launching an India-specific variant of the C30, which will come preloaded with full-fledged Android 11.
Nokia C20 Plus specifications and pricing
The Nokia C20 Plus has a 6.5-inch HD+ display that offers a 20:9 aspect ratio. The Unisoc SC9863A chip powers the device. It has a 4,950mAh battery that supports 10W charging.
The C20 Plus has a front camera of 5-megapixel, and its rear side features a 13-megapixel (main) + 2-megapixel (depth) dual-camera setup. It offers other features like dual 4G VoLTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, microUSB, a microSD card slot, and a 3.5mm audio jack.
Nokia C20 Plus
The 2 GB RAM + 32 GB storage and 3 GB RAM + 32 GB storage editions of the C20 Plus are priced at Rs 8,999 (~$121) and Rs 9,999 (~$134), respectively. It comes in two colors such as Blue and Grey.
Xiaomi’s sub-brand Redmi recently launched its first laptop in India. Realme’s first notebook Realme Book is also expected to arrive this month. Fresh information reveals Vivo is carrying out a survey in India to see what customers want to see on its laptop.
According to 91mobiles that cites tipster Yogesh Brar as its source, Vivo’s survey is all about gauging consumers’ expectations on the price range, screen size, processors, and other details of its forthcoming notebook. Interestingly, ASUS has been selling VivoBook branded laptops in India. Hence, it is likely that Vivo’s laptop may arrive with a different name.
The tipster claimed that Vivo has successfully conducted a smartwatch survey in India and it appears that the company could be planning to launch Vivo Watch alongside the Vivo X70 series in India in September. As far as Vivo notebooks are concerned, the company may launch it few months after carrying out its survey.
The new leak claims that the Vivo laptops will be arriving in at least two screen sizes. The first Vivo notebooks could be powered by the 11th generation Intel Core i3 / i5.
In related news, Vivo is likely to launch the Vivo X70 series of smartphones and the Vivo Watch by mid-September. The X70 series may include models such as Vivo X70, X70 Pro, and X7 Pro+. It could be priced between Rs 45,000 (~$604) and Rs 70,000 (~$940).
Honor will be launching the Magic 3 series smartphone on August 12. Ahead of the launch, we have seen a couple of teasers of the smartphone and more keep coming. A leaked image of the Honor Magic 3 has appeared online showing the rear camera design.
The Honor Magic 3 haas already been confirmed to feature five rear cameras. However, this image gives us a clear view of the rear camera design. The rear camera is housed inside a circular housing. There is also a 100X branding which suggests that the device will come with a periscope lens and will likely also have digital zoom output. Other details of the camera setup are still unknown.
An official durability video of the Magic 3 also appeared online giving us a glimpse of its waterproof build. The device was subjected to a series of water submersion tests which it survived unscathed. It was also dropped on various surfaces and the display was subjected to the scratch test. The video also shows the phone’s cooling system in action as it was able to dissipate heat quite effectively.
Smart wearable devices are increasingly deployed in ways never before imagined to save lives and seemingly expand the health outreach of individuals. The Apple Watch has evolved with lots of life-saving features that continue to prove very vital in saving the lives of its users.
A 25-year old man, Brandon Schneider is still alive today, thanks mainly to the fall detection feature in his Apple Watch that was activated when he had a potentially life-threatening fall inside the bathroom in a New York Hospital last month. Schneider seemingly was as fit as it can get, getting regular running exercises and living a decent lifestyle. Howbeit, he experienced severe abdominal pains for a few days and decided to visit a hospital for proper medical attention in company of his father.
Along the line, he had to use the restroom but passed out while he was at it. When Schneider fell down, his Apple Watch’s fall detector was able to send an alert to his dad, after detecting a fall and did not get any response from him within 45 seconds. Such head injuries require a timely response, and indeed help arrived promptly, as the father swiftly rallied hospital staff to the bathroom where Schneider was found unconscious.
A CT scan revealed that Schneider had life-threatening hematomas in addition to a fractured skull. He thereafter underwent a successful emergency brain surgery in the hospital. The prompt response of Schneider’s dad and the medics probably saved his life, as they were able to avoid irreversible damage to his critical brain tissues. The prognosis remains bright and a full recovery is expected of the appreciative 25-year old. He is thankful to the hospital and his Apple Watch, together with his active lifestyle. Schneider had recently set up the emergency alert feature in his Apple Watch and encourages all others to do the same.
The fall detection feature in the Apple Watch helps to send an alarm or alert a loved one when it detects a fall and the user did not respond to its prompts within 45 seconds. It is unclear whether Schneider’s watch sounded an alarm, and whether there were persons in the vicinity of the bathroom who may have heard the alarm.
The Galaxy S21 FE appeared in an image for Samsung’s back-to-school promo posted on Instagram. Samsung has now deleted the post, but thankfully the image was saved before the manufacturer yanked it off the social media platform.
Image source: 9-to-5 Google
In the image we see the Light Violet variant of the Galaxy S21 FE alongside the Galaxy Buds Pro and a Galaxy Book. We know it is the Galaxy S21 FE because of its camera housing whose color matches the rest of the body. The Phantom Violet Galaxy S21 and Galaxy S21 Plus both have a rose gold camera housing.
The Galaxy S21 FE will have a 6.4-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. It will be powered by the Snapdragon 888 processor with up to 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.
As seen in the image above, there are three cameras on the back of the phone. It has also been reported that it packs a 32MP front-facing camera and will have a 4370mAh battery with support for fast charging. Last week, a leak revealed that Samsung will launch the phone in Gray, Light Green, Light Violet, and Whte in the U.S.
Realme GT and GT were not enough: Realme had to release yet another flagship killer under the GT series which is even more complete than its two predecessors. We are referring to the Realme GT Master Explorer Edition which will soon make its debut outside of China. Usually, flagship killers have an important compromise: the camera performance, but it is not the case with the Realme GT Master Explorer Edition. However, is it the most complete flagship available at a killer price or there is something more at the same level even when it comes to the cameras? The answer is yes: a similar device is the iQOO 7 by Vivo’s sub-brand, another handset packing amazing hardware and a great camera too. Here is a comparison between their specifications.

Design
The design of the Realme GT Master Exploration Edition is more suggestive than iQOO 7, if we take the version made of eco leather designed by the known Japanese designer Naoto Fukasawa. However, there is a special color option of the iQOO 7 called Legend, with BMW colors, which is as stunning as the leather variant of the Realme GT Master Explorer Edition. Which one is better depends on your personal tastes. I personally prefer the Realme GT Master Explorer Edition due to its curved edge to edge display and a more compact body.
Display
The displays of Realme GT Master Explorer Edition and iQOO 7 are more or less at the same level, that is the reason why we recommend you to focus on the other specifications while reading this comparison. They are Super AMOLED panels with a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels, a 120 Hz refresh rate, the HDR10+ certification, very high peak brightness, and the Gorilla Glass 5 protection for the GT. The only important difference regards the dimensions: Realme GT Master Explorer Edition has a 6.55-inch curved display, while iQOO 7 has a flat 6.62-inch display. Both the phones feature stereo speakers and an in-display fingerprint reader.
Specs & Software
The Chinese variant of the iQOO 7 is a more powerful device than its rival because it packs a stronger chipset: the Snapdragon 888 mobile platform which is the best by Qualcomm if we exclude the Snapdragon 888 Plus. The Realme GT Master Explorer Edition has the weaker Snapdragon 870, but a lot of people prefer the 870 over the 888 because of its better management of energy consumption. In both cases, you get up to 12 GB of LPDDR5 RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS 3.1 native storage. The internal storage is not expandable. The handsets run Android 11 with a highly customized user interface on top.
Camera
Each of these devices is a pretty nice camera phone, but they have their pro and cons. The Realme GT Master Explorer Edition has a better main camera: the Sony IMX766 with a 50 MP resolution and OIS. The iQOO 7 has OIS as well, but with an inferior main camera. On the other hand, the iQOO 7 has a telephoto lens that is not present on the GT, which supports 2x optical zoom. Instead, the Realme GT Master Explorer Edition has a better 16 MP ultrawide camera and a better 32 MP front camera.
The iQOO 7 supports the fastest commercial charging technology with a power of 120W, but the battery is below average in terms of capacity: 4000 mAh. The Realme GT Master Explorer features a bigger 4500 mAh battery and a still fast charging technology with a power of 65W.
Price
The iQOO 7 starts from about €480/$563 in China, while Realme GT Master Explorer Edition is priced at €458/$538 in its base variant. Both are amazing phones with an incredibly high value for money, recommended for gamers and power users. Which one should you pick? I personally prefer the Realme GT Master Explorer Edition because it features a bigger battery, a better main camera, and a better front camera. But the iQOO 7 has a stronger chipset and amazing 120W fast charging. Which one would you opt for?
Realme GT Master Explorer Edition vs Vivo iQOO 7: PRO and CONS
The latest Nikkei Asia Report has indicated that video-sharing social media platform, TikTok has overtaken Facebook as the most downloaded social media app in the world. Facebook had maintained a sort of stranglehold on the first position up to this year, fuelled by a number of factors that had continued to attract millions of users to the app. Facebook currently has an aggregate total of more than a trillion downloads of its app currently.
The growth in the TikTok numbers was being driven by a combination of factors which included the coronavirus global pandemic that led to lockdowns across the world for extended periods in 2020. This saw a surge in the usage of the short video sharing platform among a demographically diverse population containing millions of Gen Z users, as well as Millenials and even older persons irrespective of gender. The growth of TikTok was also accelerated by the shift in focus by the US government which had previously banned TikTok and WeChat during the Trump Presidency. However, the ban was revoked by the Biden government, thus adding to the TikTok numbers from the US.
The very short videos on offer with TikTok were packed with energy, education, entertainment, and a whole lot of other activities that have been simply magnetic. The very quick, snappy videos, packed with succinct information and entertainment. The videos are between 9 and 15 seconds, and a new addition could now see videos extending up to 3 minutes.
The TikTok success has drawn comparisons with some similar apps that have come on stream like Instagram Reels, and YouTube shorts. It remains an outlet post-pandemic that has become a fertile ground for artists, using the platform to ventilate their views and talents. While most of the social media platforms continue to grapple with privacy and encryption issues, TikTok seemingly continues to blossom even without these controls.
It has been about five months since the Meizu 18 and Meizu 18 Pro were announced. Based on last year’s product lineup, we do not expect Meizu to launch any more phones this year, but that may not be the case.
Two new Meizu phones have recently been certified in China and we may see them hit the market soon. The phones have model numbers M182Q and M192Q which is similar to those of the Meizu 18 (M181Q) and Meizu 18 Pro ((M191Q).

While the higher model numbers of the newly registered phones may mean they are successors to the Meizu 18 series or maybe slightly refreshed models, there is also a possibility they are not. According to Digital Chat Station, the leaker who shared screenshots of the phones’ registrations, one of them may have a Snapdragon 870 chipset. Another unconfirmed report we have heard is that one of the two phones will have a Dimensity 1200 chipset.
Based on these, we may not be seeing successors to the Meizu 18 series but less-powereful variants with a more affordable price tag. The Meizu 18 has a starting price of ¥4399 (~$678) while the Meizu 18 Pro has a starting price of ¥4999 (~$770). Meizu fans will be happy to see the manufacturer launch a phone with a more affordable price tag, probably with a starting price of ¥2999 (~$462) or lower.
More details of the new phones should surface in the weeks leading up to their launch and we will be sure to inform you once we get our hands on them.
A few days back, Motorola released a teaser that confirmed the tech giant will launch the Motorola Edge 20 series in India soon but the launch date wasn’t revealed. Motorola has now confirmed the Edge 20 will be launched in India on August 17. The Edge 20 will be accompanied by the Edge 20 Fusion!
Recall that the Edge 20 was launched alongside the Edge 20 Pro and Edge 20 Lite. However, there are indications that the Motorola Edge 20 Fusion is a rebadged Edge 20 Lite.

In other aspects, the Motorola Edge 20 and Edge 20 Fusion will both feature a 6.7-inch OLED panel with a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels. The Edge 20 Fusion will support a 90Hz refresh rate while the Edge 20 will support up to a 144Hz refresh rate.

OPPO has been rolling out Android 11-based ColorOS 11 update for eligible devices since September 2020. The company is known for revealing its update plan every month. Since we have now entered August, the brand announces its update schedule for this month.
According to the official ColorOS 11 August 2021 update plan, no devices will receive beta build in the eight-month of the year. However, two smartphones will get the stable update.

Realme could be close to the official launch of its latest super-slim and lightweight laptop, the Realme Book Slim. A tipster, Yogesh has provided some detailed specifications of the device. The details are the most comprehensive yet we have seen for the device.
We already knew that Realme was working on a new laptop slated for unveiling later this year. But little was known about the device, with official Realme teasers not yielding the expected details. However, all these have changed if we are to rely on the authenticity of the tipster’s information.
The Realme Book Slim will sport a 14-inch 2K display with a decent 2160×1440 pixels screen resolution and 300 nits peak brightness. Realme has taken serious considerations for eye safety by getting blue light certification for the device. The audio input and output functionalities are enhanced by a triple microphone setup and two Harmon Kardon speakers.
The Realme Book Slim will be powered by Intel’s Core i5 processor and Xe Graphics. The laptop is lightweight (1.3kg) and packs 16GB of RAM and 512GB of internal storage. There is also a fingerprint sensor and a 54Wh battery with support for 65W fast charging. Realme TechLife today shared a teaser on Twitter that shows the device will charge via a USB-C port. Apart from the USB 3.2 Gen 1 port, it will also feature 2 USB-C 3.1 ports and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
The tipster indicated that the Realme Book Slim will be priced at Rs. 55,000 ($741) in India although the exact launch date is still not known. The Realme Book Slim could debut with the upcoming Realme Pad. We await more definitive teasers on the Realme Book Slim as its launch date gets closer.
