POCO M3 was first unveiled at the end of November 2020. However, the smartphone made its way to India only in February 2021.

We will have to wait and see whether the increase in price will affect the sales of POCO M3 in India.

OnePlus India on its Twitter handle, yet again confirmed the Nord 2 will debut on July 22 at 7:30 PM IST. The company also shared a teaser poster that showcases the entire back design of the smartphone. Interestingly, the smartphone looks identical to the flagship OnePlus 9 smartphone.

Tune in on July 22 for OnePlus Nord: Part Deux, a riveting blockbuster product launch experience starring OnePlus Nord 2 5G.
It has a vertical rear camera module holding three rear cameras, just like the OnePlus 9. The only difference between the two phones is that the third lens is shifted to the left on the Nord, with an LED flash beside it. The OnePlus 9 has an LED flash in-between the two upper sensors.
It seems to have a slightly protruded camera island and a OnePlus branding at the center. It also has curved corners, again similar to the OnePlus 9.
Apart from this, the smartphone’s pricing and color variants were recently revealed. The phone is tipped to come at a starting price of ₹31,999 (~$450) for the base variant with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage. It will go all the way up to ₹34,999(~$470) for the 12GB RAM and 256GB storage variant. It is expected to come in two colors – Blue Haze and Grey Sierra.

The phone will be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 1200 SoC paired with up to 12GB of RAM and 256GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage. It will pack a 4,500mAh battery with support for 65W Warp Charge technology. Recently, OnePlus confirmed that the phone will run on OxygenOS(Android 11) and it will get only two major Android updates.

The Zepp Z watch is priced at ₹25,999, which converts to roughly around $350 and will go on sale starting July 20 in India. This is cheaper than the Chinese pricing of CNY 2,699 (~$417). But do note that the Chinese edition features ECG support, which the Indian edition lacks.

Smart wearables, including smartwatches, are increasingly being deployed for important health and fitness monitoring that has proved to be life-saving in some instances. The list of body functions that current smartwatches could monitor is expanding rapidly, which offers lots of data that could be employed to understand our health and fitness better.
The need for greater monitoring functionality may have driven budding accessories provider, Noise to launch the ColorFit Ultra to the mid-and and low end of the Indian market, with an introductory offer of Rs. 4499 ($60).
Noise has grown in popularity, especially for its affordable and decent audio products. It is now gradually delving into the wearables space in India with its latest budget offering, the Noise ColorFit Ultra. The new smartwatch comes with 60 sports modes, a 1.75-inch full-touch display, and over 100 cloud-based watch faces, which could also be customized to suit the user’s mood.

Three color variants of the Noise ColorFit Ultra are already available via Amazon India or Noise’s official website. They are Space Blue, Gunmetal Grey, and Cloud Grey color variants, all priced at Rs. 4499 ($60) for the Indian market.
Alongside Realme and POCO, iQOO by Vivo is the best brand of flagship killers. It is the brand that released the highest number of flagship killers in 2021 and it is very recommended to all those who play games and to power users. The latest devices from the brand’s lineup are iQOO Neo5, iQOO Neo5 Lite, and iQOO 7. Despite they carry different names, they are not so different in terms of specifications and they all belong to the high-end segment, but they are sold at very affordable prices. Let’s learn the differences between these three handsets.
Vivo iQOO Neo5 vs Vivo iQOO Neo5 Lite vs Vivo iQOO 7
Triple 48 + 13 + 2 MP, f/1.8 + f/2.2 + f/2.4

ADDITIONAL FEATURES

Design
The Legend color option of the iQOO 7 is the most elegant and original one as it sports a stripe with the typical BMW colors on the rear side. But you should not underestimate the iQOO Neo5 as it comes with the thinnest design. Unfortunately, these phones are not built with premium materials, but they come with narrow bezels around the display and a punch-hole design.
Display
You can find the best display on the iQOO Neo5 and on the iQOO 7: they have the same panel. It is an AMOLED display with a 120 Hz refresh rate, the HDR10+ certification, a high 1300 nit peak brightness, a 6.62-inch diagonal, and a Full HD+ resolution. The iQOO Neo5 has a higher 144 Hz refresh rate which is very nice for gamers, but it has an IPS panel providing an inferior image quality. Note that iQOO Neo5 and iQOO 7 have an in-display fingerprint reader, while the iQOO Neo5 Lite has a side-mounted fingerprint scanner because it sports an IPS display.
Hardware/Software
All of these devices have a flagship-class hardware setup, but the iQOO 7 is the best as it sports a stronger chipset: the Snapdragon 888 mobile platform by Qualcomm. The SoC is paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of internal storage (UFS 3.1). You can get the same memory configurations with iQOO Neo5 and Neo5 Lite, but they pack the weaker Snapdragon 870 chipset. However, we are still talking about one of the best chipsets in the Android world. All the phones run OriginOS based on Android 11, except the intl. version of the iQOO 7 which runs Funtouch OS.
Camera
Do you need the most advanced camera? You should go for the iQOO 7 without thinking twice as it is the only one with a high-end camera department. It has a 48 MP main sensor with OIS, a 13 MP telephoto sensor with 2x optical zoom, and a 16 MP ultrawide sensor. Not the best camera phone out there, but definitely a high-end one. The iQOO Neo5 takes the silver medal with a 48 MP main sensor including OIS, a 13 MP ultrawide sensor, and a 2 MP macro camera. Unfortunately, iQOO Neo5 Lite lacks OIS and it has an inferior 8 MP sensor.
Battery
The iQOO Neo5 Lite has the biggest battery but the iQOO Neo5 lasts more on a single charge because it sports an AMOLED display with lower energy consumption. The iQOO 7 has the smallest battery with just 4000 mAh, but it supports whopping 120W fast charging.
Vivo iQOO Neo5 vs Vivo iQOO Neo5 Lite vs Vivo iQOO 7: Price
iQOO Neo5 starts from €320/$377, iQOO Neo5 Lite has a €290/$342 base price, and iQOO 7 starts from €480/$567. The iQOO Neo5 has the highest value for money, while the iQOO 7 is the best device overall.
Apple will be launching its next-generation smartphone — the iPhone 13 lineup later this year, most likely sticking to its usual launch cycle of unveiling new phones in the month of September. Ahead of the official announcement, details about the upcoming iPhones have started surfacing online.
As per the latest report coming from DigiTimes, the upcoming iPhone 13 is expected to come with improved Wi-Fi 6E support which is an extended version of the Wi-Fi 6 framework with the additional benefit of a 6GHz band.
The Cupertino-based tech giant upgraded from Wi-Fi 5 to Wi-Fi 6 with the iPhone 11 lineup in 2019, which offers significantly improved speeds and security. However, the Wi-Fi 6E brings minimal changes compared to Wi-Fi 6, except for an added 6GHz band. But it should result in increased bandwidth and less interference for devices.
The report also talks about the upcoming smartphone lineup from Apple adopting LiDAR sensor for the camera module across the lineup. Currently, the iPhone 12 series have a LiDAR sensor but only for the high-end Pro and Pro Max models.
While the company has not revealed anything about the iPhone 13 series, it is speculated that the devices will come with more advanced displays, improved cameras, and a smaller notch compared to the current model. We expect to know more about the phones in the coming weeks and months as the launch date nears.

The accessories market globally has seen massive growth and new entrants across the field. Yamaha has carved a niche for itself within the tech space with many important products for entertainment and other purposes.
Yamaha has unveiled the YH-L700A wireless headphones, which feature the Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) technology and spatial audio. While the more expansive Dolby Atmos is not featured in the headphone but rather a mechanism that enhances audio input via the 3D Sound Field functionality for an immersive audio experience. Head tracking control is also possible on the device.
The Yamaha YH-L700A will go on sale next month for €520/£450. The headphones have 40 mm drivers , Bluetooth 5.0 and aptX adaptive support. The 3D Sound Field can transform stereo audio and simulates multi-channel content on several sound modes. App support from the companion app helps to get the sound that suits you. The app is available on both iOS and Android.
The ANC technology is used in the YH-L700A to enhance the overall sound output by canceling active noise within the user’s environment.
The ANC is a delicate balance between shielding unwanted noise and the enhancement of the audio being listened to. The Listening Optimizer uses a microphone embedded inside each ear cup to constantly monitor sound output optimized top-notch listening. Ambient Sound mode is also present and can be toggled on and off.
One of the strong features of the new headphone is a very powerful battery, guaranteeing 34 hours of activity on a full charge. USB-C is used for charging. When ANC is enabled, together with 3D Sound field, the battery has a reduced performance of 11 hours.

Realme has recently filed for a new trademark application. This is for a ‘MagDart’ technology, which might be the company’s own version of the Apple MagSafe wireless fast charging technology.
Wow! Realme files the trademark for MagDart. Could most likely be an upcoming fast wireless charging tech like Apple's MagSafe. Feel free to retweet.#Realme#MagDartpic.twitter.com/lkOoBLIbAl
For those unaware, the MagSafe was first introduced in iPhones with the iPhone 12 series last year. This is a charging technology that essentially attaches to the back of the device to charge the iPhone through magnets that are housed under the rear panel of the handset. So, the Chinese smartphone maker might be working on its own iteration of this technology. This trademark application was filed at the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) and was first spotted by tipster Mukul Sharma, who revealed the name of this upcoming technology.
Looking at the description of this trademark, it is clear that Realme is working on a new charging solution. However, the finer details regarding this charging technology are still unknown, which appears to be similar to the Apple MagSafe solution. As of right now, the company has yet to make any official announcement regarding this technology. So, we have no way of knowing if the vendor is actually working on such a moment or just covering all bases.
Apple MagSafe
Notably, MySmartPricealso spotted MagDart the trademark on India’s CGPDTM website as well. In other words, the charging technology could also be arriving in India soon. Although, we have no way of confirming this news at the moment. So stay tuned for more, as we will be providing updates when additional information is available regarding this matter.
OnePlus had launched its first smart band earlier this year. Now, a new leak has revealed that the company is working on a special Steven Harrington Edition of this wearable that will launch soon.
The new leak arrives from known tipster Ishan Agarwal and PriceBaba that has also revealed the design of this limited edition variant of the smart band. Looking at these leaked images, the OnePlus Band Steven Harrington Edition will feature a unique design on its wristband and watch faces. Previously, the Chinese smartphone maker had also launched a similar version for its Buds Z truly wireless earbuds that launched on December 24.
The report adds that the special edition of the smart band will arrive with a purple and mint green wristband that also sports sketches and unique caricatures. Similarly, this design pattern will also be seen on the watch face of the smart band. Unfortunately, the report does not reveal any finer detail regarding this variant of the OnePlus Band. So, we have no information regarding its pricing as of right now.
Although, since it is a limited edition we can expect its pricing to be higher than the base model of the smart band. So stay tuned for more, as we will be providing updates when additional information is available regarding this product.
Lava launched a new range of Z series budget smartphones in India in January. Out of those five models, the company has confirmed to release the Android 11 update for four devices, namely Z2, Z4, Z6, and MyZ triple-camera. The update will be rolled out starting later this month.
Lava Z6
According to the official press release sent by Lava, the Android 11 system update for Z2, Z4, Z6, and MyZ triple-camera are developed by Indian engineers in the country itself. The company says that it will continue to provide such updates in the future by investing more in R&D.
For those who don’t know, the Lava Z2, Z4, and Z6 are identical in most ways. The primary difference between the three is storage configuration. Additionally, the Z2 has a dual-camera setup and a lower megapixel selfie camera as compared to a triple camera setup and a higher megapixel front-facing camera on the Z4 and Z6.
On the other hand, the MyZ is essentially the same phone with support for limited customizability. Customers can choose rear/front cameras, RAM, ROM, and color.
All these handsets debuted with near-stock Android 10. However, it is worth noting that Z2 and MyZ 2GB RAM version runs Android 10 Go Edition.
The Android 11 update for the Lava Z4, Z6, and MyZ triple camera will be rolled out from July 25. Whereas, the cheaper Z2 will get his update in the coming months.
The new Chuwi HiPad Pro is set to launch next month. This tablet will sport a 10.8 inch display and houses a Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 processor. It will even support a digital pen along with other features as well.
The HiPad Pro from the Chinese electronics maker is currently listed on the AliExpress Store, which states that the device will be available for sale starting from 3rd August 2021. As of right now, the pricing of the device has yet to be announced, although, we can expect to see the details revealed as we get closer to the launch date. Talking about its specifications, the tablet has a 10.8 inch IPS panel with a 2560 x 1600px resolution and is surrounded by slim bezels.
Under the hood, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 processor runs the device paired with 8GB of LPDDR4x memory and 128GB of ROM that supports UFS 2.1 storage. The Chuwi HiPad Pro is powered by a large 7,000mAh battery pack that also supports Qualcomm’s Quick Charge 3.0 support. It also supports a 3.5mm headphone jack and a USB Type C port for power and data.
On the rear, the device has an 8 megapixel image sensor while the front sports a 5 megapixel selfie shooter. Notably, the tablet has a 90 percent screen to body ratio, with a 6.9mm thickness and weight of just 480 grams. The HiPad Pro will arrive with Android 11 OS and also supports the company’s H7 stylus that supports 4096 levels of pressure sensitivity. Customers can also purchase an optional Bluetooth keyboard cover separately.
Prior to the official launch of the POCO F3 GT in India, a company executive has revealed the pricing of the device. The device is the second F series model arriving in India from the company and will launch around the 400 US Dollars mark.
Previously, the Chinese smartphone maker had stated that the handset will launch sometime in the third quarter of this year. And now, Anuj Sharma, the Country Director of POCO India officially revealed to India Today that the device will launch in the region sometime later this month. The executive revealed that the original launch window was set between August and September 2021 but the device is confirmed to arrive on July 23, earlier than its initial plans.
The senior official also revealed information regarding the F3 GT’s pricing to India Today. It will launch later this month for a price of around 30,000 INR (roughly about 402 US Dollars). In other words, we can expect multiple variants arriving either under or above the 30,000 INR mark. Although, Anuj confirmed that the upcoming device’s top end variant will be priced under 35,000 INR (roughly 470 US Dollars), making it competitive in the segment that it is targeting.
Notably, its 23rd July 2021 launch date is also close with the OnePlus Nord 2 announcement, which the company had recently trolled as well. Both smartphones feature the same MediaTek Dimensity 1200 SoC. POCO also confirmed certain other specs for the upcoming smartphone, this includes an AMOLED display that supports HDR10+ and 120Hz refresh rate. It will also arrive in two color variants, namely Gunmetal Silver and Predator Black, and offer Dual Stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos.
Anuj added that “The smartphone market has changed a lot in last three years. We could have done a simple F1 successor which means cut out everything else and give performance. But, in the mid-premium segment users are not happy with one aspect. Things like the build quality, glass back are all expensive. This would make the Poco F3 GT a lot more expensive than Poco F1 but at the price, will be unlike any other phone.”
Microsoft has announced Windows 365, a new service from the company that will allow businesses to access Cloud PCs from anywhere by streaming Windows 10 or Windows 11 in a web browser on any device.
The development comes at a time when more and more businesses are moving towards a mix of office and remote work and several companies have decided to offer permanent remote working options after this COVID-19 pandemic.
At the time of announcing the Windows 365 service, the company didn’t reveal its pricing details. Now, just a day later, the company has revealed one pricing option that allows businesses to use a virtual Windows PC in the cloud for $31 per user, per month.
The $31 pricing option offers two CPUs, 4GB of RAM, and 128GB of internal storage. Do note that this isn’t the lowest-priced option as Microsoft will also be offering a plan with a single CPU, 2GB of RAM, and 64GB of internal storage.
Being a part of the Windows 365 Business option, it is meant for businesses with less than 300 overall users for the service. The company has confirmed that it will offer many more options, both in terms of configurations and price points, to share when the product becomes generally available on August 2nd.
Microsoft is offering 12 different configurations for both Windows 365 Business and Enterprise — from 1 CPU to 8 CPUs and from 1GB of RAM to 32GB of RAM. Businesses will be able to scale processing power so there will be lots of options to choose from.
Windows 365 will only be available for businesses when it launches on August 2nd, with a per-user monthly subscription cost. The company says that it is designed for one-person businesses all the way up to enterprises with thousands of employees. We’ll know all the pricing options in a couple of weeks.
