Last year, MediaTek announced the Dimensity 800U, a variant of the Dimensity 800. Now, it appears the Dimensity 1100 will also be getting the U-treatment as a leak has revealed that a Dimensity 1100U phone is coming.
The info was revealed by Digital Chat Station on Weibo earlier today. The reliable leaked stated in a post that a new budget phone is being finalized and its processor is said to be the Dimensity 1100U.
There are no details about the chipset but going by the relationship between the Dimensity 800U and Dimensity 800, then the Dimensity 1100U should have a higher clocked CPU and GPU but may not be more powerful overall.
The Dimensity 1100 is a 6nm octa-core chipset with four Cortex-A78 cores clocked at 2.6GHz and four Cortex-A55 cores clocked at 2.0GHz. It has a Mali G77 MC9 nine-core GPU. It also has a 5-core ISP with support for 108MP cameras, and a MediaTek APU 3.0 – a 6-core AI processor that can handle FP16 calculations natively.
The chipset is the first with True Dual 5G SIM (5G SA + 5G SA) and MediaTek claims that its 5G UltraSave power saving enhancements provides up to 82% in power savings compared to competitor alternatives.
We do not know which manufacturer will launch the first Dimensity 1100U-powered phone but we expect more details will surface in the coming weeks.
There has been a raft of rumors and teasers swirling around the soon-to-be-unveiled iQOO 8 smartphone ahead of its scheduled launch on August 4. Recent teasers and other details sourced about the device show that it will be debuting with some innovative components and features.
Notably, the iQOO 8 will premiere the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 Plus SoC, as the first-ever device powered by the new chipset. The iQOO 8 still has some features that have not been captured in the teasers and leaks. We expect some of these details to become public as we inch closer to the August 4 date of its launch.
However, a teaser from iQOO has indicated a possible Flash Charging capability for the upcoming smartphone. The teaser showed a new FlashCharge sign, which close watchers have interpreted to mean a possible fast-charging model for the smartphone. In fact, it has even been rumored that the device is going to pack 160W charging on its battery. As per the speculation, we know that 160W charging has been tested successfully in some devices. Indeed, Xiaomi has also demonstrated 200W fast charging on a 4,000mAh-rated battery on the Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro (both wired charging and wireless at 120W).
The Infinix Concept Phone 2021 has also been put through the paces for 160W charging on its 4,000mAh battery. The test on the Infinix Concept Phone 2021 showed that a full charge could be accomplished for the device in under 10 minutes. Therefore, there could be some substance in the speculation regarding fast charging for the iQOO 8 smartphones. However, it has to be stated that there had not been any official or definitive statement from iQOO on the authenticity of the FlashCharging status for the iQOO 8.
As we inch closer to the August 4 launch of the iQOO 8, we’ll keep you in the loop on any further leaks or teasers that may come from iQOO. There are still some loose details to tie up for the device.
Last month, Realme officially confirmed that it will bring its first laptop to the market. The company revealed the laptop will be called the Realme Book and will be first unveiled in India. While a previous leak revealed its Real Grey color variant, a fresh leak from 91Mobiles in collaboration with OnLeaks sheds light on the rest of its color variants.
Apart from the Real Grey color, the Realme Book is touted to come in three other shades, namely Real Red, Real Blue, and Real Apricot. Furthermore, the renders of these colors have been shared.
Realme Book in Real Red and Real Apricot
According to the images, the laptop has a matte finish regardless of whichever color it flaunts. The colors aren’t flashy or too bright, rather, they are subtle and muted. The color covers the entire body except for the display and keyboard area.

With this finish, it looks quite similar to Apple’s MacBook Air. Moreover, the Real Blue color resembles the Apple iPhone 12 Pro’s Blue shade.
No doubt the laptop looks premium, but what will be its specs? Well, as of now, there’s very little to discuss, but what we know is that the laptop will feature a 14-inch display with a Full-HD resolution.
It will come with a backlit keyboard and a huge trackpad, again similar to the MacBook Air. Renders reveal a USB Type-C port and a charging indicator on the left, and a USB port and headphone jack on the right.
The laptop is speculated to come powered by 11th generation Intel i3 and i5 processors paired with multiple RAM and SSD variants. Recently, it was confirmed to run on the latest Windows 11 OS.
The Realme Book is expected to launch in August under the ₹40,000 price bracket, competing with the likes of Xiaomi and Lenovo.
In May this year, innovative Chinese tech giant, Xiaomi announced its innovative ultra-fast charging technology, aptly named HyperCharge. The charging concept of the Hypercharge was demonstrated with a Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro device that sports a 4,000mAh battery. The results announced by Xiaomi indicated that the HyperCharge technology was able to offer 200W wired charging from zero to 100% in a new world record of 8 minutes. On the other hand, the HyperCharge also produced 120W wireless charging to the Mi 11 Pro from zero to 100% in 15 minutes, a world record for wireless charging.
A new report monitored in China (via MyDrivers) indicates that the Xiaomi HyperCharge could debut in a smartphone as early as 2022, when mass production is scheduled to commence by June 2022. The innovative technology will most likely debut with one of the flagships from one of the 2022 flagships from Xiaomi. As per the report, the HyperCharge could come with the launch of the Xiaomi Mi 12 Ultra.
After the May 2021 demonstration of the HyperCharge on a Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro smartphone, several key questions were asked about the device’s technology. It was also shown that the battery power, based on computations, would decline by 20% after 800 cycles of the HyperCharge fast charging.
There were also concerns about whether the HyperCharge technology could apply to other devices outside the Mi range. There is a race by both smartphone manufacturers and accessories makers for the ultimate charging device for super-fast charging and minimal decline in battery life. Current charging speeds are between 30 minutes and up to two hours. Manufacturers have continued to push the boundaries in charging speeds, and the stated world records of Xiaomi both for wired and wireless charging could be breached soon.
OnePlus has officially announced the OnePlus Buds Pro alongside the Nord 2 smartphone. The Buds Pro arrives with a premium design and several powerful features crammed inside the compact body. The new premium earbuds are an upgrade over the OnePlus Buds which was launched last year.
OnePlus Buds Pro
One of the prominent features onboard the TWS earphones is support for Adaptive Noise Cancellation technology support. This is an improvement over the Environmental Noise Cancellation utilized by the OnePlus Buds. The smart ANC actively drowns out unwanted sound frequencies like environmental noise or chatter in real-time. It also adjusts the noise cancellation level, providing a completely immersive user experience.
The premium earbuds are each equipped with three microphones that are capable of filtering out noise levels of up to 40dB. This ensures the delivery of a better and more comfortable sound output adapted to different situations. OnePlus claims this gives the Buds Pro an edge over earbuds packing just the conventional Active Noise Cancellation systems whose noise cancellation levels are fixed. Calls are also designed to be noise-free even in loud environments due to the enhanced noise reduction algorithms and mechanical design aimed at reducing wind noise.
In terms of design, the wireless earbuds come in matte black and white colour variants. The body has a glossy metallic covering on the steems to offer a better operating experience and for sweat and dust resistance. Internally, the earbuds each feature two large 11mm dynamic drivers and Dolby Atmos support. The earbuds also come with the OnePlus Audio ID sound profile carefully calibrated to cater to user-specific sound sensitivities.
Another major improvement on the Buds Pro is the battery life. The earbuds come with an upgraded battery which can last up to 38 hours along with the carry case. The earbuds themselves can last 7 hours without ANC while the charging case can provide an additional 3 hours. When the ANC is turned on, the earbud lasts for 5 hours while the charging case delivers 23 hours extra. Further, a 10-minute wired recharge of the Buds Pro’s case will provide 10 hours of battery life, thanks to the Warp Charge support onboard. The truly wireless earbuds also offer Bluetooth 5.2 support and latency as low as 94ms with Pro Gaming mode turned on.
OnePlus Buds Pro carries a price tag of €150 in Europe where it will go on sale from August 25. The device will be available in the US and Canada from September 1 and will retail for $150. The company is yet to announce the pricing and availability details for the Indian market.
India was heavily affected by the COVID-19 second wave in Q2 2021. Though the demand for smartphones got affected, companies still managed to ship more units compared to last year same time. That’s because the country was going through a complete lockdown in Q2 2020.
Redmi Note 10 Pro Max
According to Canalys, the India Smartphone Market dropped 13% between Q1 and Q2 2021. The market managed to ship 32.4 million units in the second quarter of this year.
As usual, Xiaomi dominated the chart with 9.5 million units in shipments and a 29% market share. It was followed by Samsung with 5.5 million units and a 17% market share. Further, vivo also had a 17% market share like the South Korean tech giant but with 5.4 million units in shipments.
The fourth position was acquired by realme, while OPPO came fifth. The former shipped 4.9 million units, whereas the latter shipped 3.8 million units. Their market share stood at 15% and 12% respectively.
As per Canalys Analyst Sanyam Chaurasia, the second COVID-19 wave in India was a wake-up call for OEMs to treat both online and offline presences equally. Brands like Xiaomi, which has a better online presence did a pretty good job despite the terrible situation. The same can be said for realme. The Redmi Note 10 series and realme narzo 30 series were some of the most-shipped models online.
That said, although the India Smartphone Market began to recover by the end of Q2, there won’t be a surge in pent-up demand in the second half of the year like in 2020. Lastly, the component shortage will not only increase the price of handsets but will also make brands practice regional deprioritization.
The OnePlus Nord 2 is the latest phone from the Nord series and the successor to the very first OnePlus Nord phone announced last year. The new phone, which is the first OnePlus phone to be powered by a MediaTek processor, brings significant upgrades to most areas and also rocks a new design.
OnePlus Nord 2 Design
The OnePlus Nord 2 5G still has a flat display with a punch hole in front but the hole is smaller now as it only houses one camera. The back is where the main changes are. The camera housing has been redesigned and looks more like that of the OnePlus 9 series.
It also comes in three new colors – Gray Sierra with a matte finish, Blue Haze, and Green Wood which is exclusive to India. Unfortunately, OnePlus didn’t announce the red variant that appeared in a leak earlier this week. This color variant may be announced later for Europe and the UK.
OnePlus Nord 2 Specifications
The OnePlus Nord 2 has a 6.43-inch AMOLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate and a punch hole for a camera at the top left corner.
The phone is powered by the Dimensity 1200-AI, a special version of the Dimensity 1200 developed by MediaTek and OnePlus. Buyers will be able to purchase the OnePlus Nord 2 in three configurations – 6+12GB, 8+128GB, and 12+256GB. There is no storage expansion slot.

The Dimensity 1200-AI helps improve photos and videos with features such as AI Photo Enhancements and AI video Enhancement. There is also Dual View Video which allows you to record from both sides of the phone at the same time. The AI Chipset brings a feature called AI Color Boost which takes videos from YouTUbe, VLC, and MX Player and converts them into more vivid colors.
The OnePlus Nord 2 5G has dual 5G SIM card slots NFC, Bluetooth 5.2, and Wi-Fi 6. There are stereo speakers but no audio jack. The Nord 2 packs a 4500mAh battery under the hood and has support for 65W Warp Charge. There is a new haptic engine called Haptics 2.0 which should provide users with a smoother and more tactile experience when typing or playing a game. You also get an in-display fingerprint scanner.

Huawei has an event scheduled for July 29. While the big announcement is for the P50 series, there will be other products too one of which is an educational smart display for kids which the manufacturer just teased.
We first learned of the Huawei smart display for kids from a leak early this month. The source had listed a number of products Huawei has scheduled for launch this month and among them is a smart display and a smartwatch for kids.
Huawei already makes tablets for kids but this will be its first smart display specifically for kids. Apart from the fact that it will run HarmonyOS out of the box, the device has carried over a feature we have only seen on smartphones – a pop-up camera.
The smart display has an aluminum build and a thick flat frame with buttons on the side for power and volume. The overall appearance of the device looks like a tablet with a kickstand. The design is a clever one as Huawei has put the speakers in the triangle-like space created by the “kickstand”.
The pop-up selfie camera is a 13MP sensor and it has a hinge that allows it to be bent forward (and possibly backward). This isn’t the only camera on the smart display. There is another one visible at the top right corner of the bezel.
The specifications of the device are unknown and so is the price. So we will have to wait until next week when it is announced to find out these details.
The manufacturer is also expected to announce the Huawei Children’s Watch 4X Pro, the Huawei band 6 Pro, and new smart TVs on July 29.

Xiaomi managed to release a smart multi-coil wireless charger even before Apple. But do you know how it was made possible? You will know the answer after watching this video.
First, let’s see what’s inside the box. In addition to the Muti-coil Wireless Charging Pad and instructions, there is also a 120w charger and 6 amps charging cable. Because the Muti-coil Wireless Charging Pad not only supports up to three devices charging at the same time, but also supports up to 20w input power for three devices, a high power charger is required.
If you use a charger that is lower than 120w, it will work, but you will not be able to charge all devices at full power. Notably, you can’t use a non-Xiaomi charger with this model.
The Muti-coil Wireless Charging Pad continues the simple design of Xiaomi. The surface is made of vegan leather, but it is softer and silkier than the vegan leather of the Mi 11, so more like real leather. The downside, of course, is that it can easily get dirty and is difficult to clean.
The sides are made of metal and the bottom is a large piece of non-slip silicone. Although its size is smaller compared to last year’s Smart Tracking Wireless Charging pad, the number of devices that can be placed on this charger has increased, as it supports up to 3 phones. And all three devices can be charged at the same time, unlike the Smart Tracking Wireless Charging pad, which can only charge one device at a time.
3 phones can be charged simultaneously
The lack of a fan means you’ll be able to set this up on your bedside table as there won’t be any noise disturbing your sleep. The Muti-coil 120W Wireless Charging Pad uses the Qi charging protocol, so most wireless charging devices can be placed on it for charging. Note that the Apple Watch uses a private protocol, so it cannot be charged on this.
Now coming to the question, why Xiaomi was able to accomplish this feat before Apple?
The biggest reason is that Xiaomi solved the heat dissipation problem. The Muti-coil Wireless Charging Pad is up to 1.5cm thick and is coated with silicon grease inside. The sides and bottom are a large piece of metal for heat conduction, enabling easy heat dissipation.
After our test, even with three Xiaomi phones charging, the charging pad was only warm. However, in order to control the heat, even if the three Xiaomi phones support 20w wireless charging, the charger will soon reduce the power, and there is no way to maintain a long period of high power output. It is not recommended buying this charger if you are looking for fast charging.
Also, because of this heat dissipating design, the weight of the charging board also reached about 450 grams. But because the charging board doesn’t have to be moved often, so I think the weight is perfectly acceptable.
Honestly, I think the Muti-coil Wireless Charging Pad is well worth buying for people who have a lot of devices that can be charged wirelessly, especially for Xiaomi phone users who have more than two units. But if you only have one wireless charging device, other cheaper charging pads are a better choice.
You can get the Xiaomi multi-coil wireless charger from Giztop for $129.

Xiaomi on Wednesday launched its next iteration of the MIJIA vacuum cleaner, dubbed Xiaomi MIJIA Robot 2. This model is cheaper than the recently launched MIJIA Ultra-thin Robot and comes with features like the laser obstacle avoidance sensor and LDS laser navigation.
The Xiaomi MIJIA Robot 2 is priced at CNY 1,799 (~$278) but in the pre-sale period, it will be available for CNY 1,599(~$247). It has a White color variant and will be available for purchase from the Jingdong shopping portal.
The MIJIA Robot 2 comes in the standard circular design and has sensors at the sides. It has an upgraded ultrasonic vibration mop that is claimed to clean the floor with 10,000 high-frequency vibrations. The mop is 99.9% antibacterial and is efficient at cleaning tough stains on the ground.
One of its highlights is the LDS laser navigation support. The feature lets the device scan for complex environments on the ground and maps the cleaning path accordingly. It ensures that the device isn’t stuck with any obstacles.
Moreover, it also comes with ToF laser obstacle avoidance sensors that are claimed to have good accuracy. These sensors help the device to prevent any accidental collisions while cleaning the floor.
It has upgraded 2800Pa suction over the predecessor’s 2100Pa suction power and comes with XiaoAi voice assistant. It also supports Xiaomi Smart Interconnection 2.0 for convenient pairing with Xiaomi smart home gadgets.
OnePlus Nord launched last year as the brand’s first mid-range smartphone since the OnePlus X. It was soon followed by a number of even cheaper OnePlus Nord series phones. Since a successor to this handset called OnePlus Nord 2 is slated to debut later today, the company appears to have discontinued the original model.
The OnePlus Nord was not available for purchase even before the launch of the OnePlus Nord CE 5G last month. So it is not surprising to learn that the handset has been now discontinued in India.
As per a report, the device is no longer on sale across both offline as well as online channels. It makes sense since the upcoming OnePlus Nord 2 is rumored to carry an identical price tag.
According to the latest leak, the OnePlus Nord 2, which is set to make its debut a few hours from now will retail for the following price tags in India.
OnePlus Nord 2 Price in India (Rumored)
8GB + 128GB – ₹29,999 ($403)
12GB + 256GB – ₹34,999 ($470)
For those unaware, the 12GB + 256GB variant of the original OnePlus Nord retailed for ₹29,999 in India. Since the forthcoming OnePlus Nord 2 is expected to start at this price and the OnePlus Nord CE 5G carries price tags identical to the lower storage configuration of the OnePlus Nord, it does not make sense for the brand to continue selling the last year’s smartphone.
The OnePlus Nord 2 launch event is scheduled to kick off from 19:30 IST. The online-only event will be live-streamed on the company’s official YouTube channel.
A couple of months ago, in May this year, OPPO had launched its new true wireless earphones in China — OPPO Enco Air. Now, the brand has confirmed that the third color option, Summer Jelly, will be available for purchase in China from 27th July for 299 yuan, which is about $46. The Summer Jelly color has a light green hue.
When the earphones were launched, OPPO had announced four color options — Black, White, Green, and Blue. However, only two of them are available for purchase right now — Black and White. The company is yet to start selling the Blue color option.
