The Redmi Note 7 received the MIUI 12.5 update in China in July. Two months later, the international variants of this smartphone have now started getting access to the version of MIUI that was first announced alongside the Mi 11 at the end of 2020.
Redmi Note 7
The international variants of Redmi Note 7 are known as Redmi Note 7 and Redmi Note 7S respectively. The latter was exclusive to India. In fact, the Redmi Note 7S was the original Redmi Note 7 that was sold in the rest of the world. Whereas, the Redmi Note 7 sold in India was a tweaked version of the original model with a 12MP primary camera instead of a 48MP sensor.
Since these phones only differ in terms of camera, they run a common MIUI build. Hence, they are receiving the MIUI 12.5 update together.
The latest update is currently live for all the international variants of these handsets with the following build numbers.
Global – V12.5.1.0.QFGMIXM
EEA – V12.5.1.0.QFGEUXM
Russia – V12.5.1.0.QFGRUXM
India – V12.5.1.0.QFGINXM
The Indian models are the latest to get the update. As a result, the new software build may not be available for every users in the country right now.
On the other hand, the remaining three regional variants got access to MIUI 12.5 weeks ago. Therefore, the OTA update should be available for all the units of these variants.
If you are a Redmi Note 7 or a Redmi Note 7S user who received the MIUI 12.5 update, then do let us know your experience in the comment section below.
Realme earlier this year unveiled its TechLife ecosystem with the DIZO products emerging as the first brand under the ecosystem. The company has now expanding its TechLife product offering with the launch of three products in India. The products include the TechLife Air Purifier, TechLife Robot Vacuum Cleaner and the TechLife Vacuum Cleaner.
Of the three gadgets, only the TechLife Handheld Vacuum Cleaner is making its debut for the first time. The air purifier and robot vacuum are already on sale in other markets.
Realme TechLife Air Purifier
The Realme TechLife Air Purifier utilises an innovative air duct design. It has a high CADR of 330m³/h which is enough to cover a room of 419 square feet. It also features five different operating modes; Sleep, Soft, Normal, Strong and Auto modes with a low noise level of 46dB in sleep mode which ensures your sleep don’t get disturbed by the device.
The TechLife Air Purifier is said to be capable of removing 99.95% of 0.3-micron particles and PM2.5 pollution, including dust, pollen, hair, animal dander, and other allergens with three-stage H12 HEPA filters. There is a real-time air quality indicator with four different colours each indicating the air quality level. The device also has a Blinking reminder when it is time to change the air filter. Talking of air filters, the filter can last up to 2800 hours.
Realme TechLife Handheld Vacuum Cleaner
The handled vacuum is equipped with a 140W motor having 10,500rpm for a maximum suction power of 9.5KPa. It also features autorotating floor brush with a built-in motor that rotates the brush at 2200rpm for efficient dirt collection. The advanced HEPA filter onboard captures microscopic dust and allergens. The filter is made of environmentally friendly materials and can be reused after washing.
The gadget also comes with several brushes for different scenarios and it is made using lightweight ABS material. The design also ensures it is not too noisy. The dust cup is removable making it easy to empty it when it is filled.
The device equipped with a decent 2200mAh battery that promises up to 40 minutes of run time in soft mode and 20 minutes in strong mode. It also has 5 LED lights show the battery level in real-time. After use, the device can be hung on the wall after use.
Realme TechLife Robot Vacuum Cleaner
The Realme TechLife Robot Vacuum comes in back, packing 38 high-precision sensors that help with measurement and collision avoidance. The LiDAR system allows it to smartly map and navigate around your home. According to the product page, you can store up to five maps on the device, partition and name areas on the map, and also customize the type of cleaning you want for these areas. So if you want a deeper cleaning for areas such as the kitchen, you can configure it to do so.
The vacuum cleaner has a suction power of up to 3000Pa with four levels of suction strength, the lowest being 500Pa which is also the quietest at 55dB. There are two side brushes, one dense rolling brush, and three layers of filters to trap PM2.5 particles.
The Robot vacuum not only sweeps but also has a mop function with an intelligent water management system. However, users will have to buy the water tank separately as it isn’t included in the box. The dust box is 600mL while the water tank is 300mL.
Pricing and Availability
The Realme TechLife Air Purifier carries a recommended retail price of Rs. 7,999 (~$107), but it will be available at a discount price of Rs. 6999 (~$94) during the first sale billed to take place on October via realme.com.
On its part, the all-new Realme TechLife Handheld Vacuum Cleaner is priced at Rs. 7,999 (~$107). It will be sold for a limited time for Rs. 7,499 (~$100) and will also go on sale for the first time on October 2 via Flipkart.

Dutch manufacturer Fairphone is fast carving a niche for itself with its sustainability-oriented products. It continues to develop products from recyclable materials, and the Fairphone TWS is being introduced to the market with some impressive functionalities.
Fairphone TWS earphones are made from recycled materials. The earbuds and the accompanying charging case are made from 30% recycled plastics. Both earbuds have a 45 mAh battery with a 500 mAh charging case. It is not clear what distance the earbuds offer as well as the charging case, as the company was silent on that. The device will be charged via USB-C, although it is still unclear whether fast charging functionality. The package will not include a charger for the device.
The Fairphone TWS is available in a single black color and is priced at 99.95 Euros ($116) and it is available for pre-order directly via Fairphone’s website and shipping will commence by November 1.
The Fairphone TWS offers hybrid Active Noise Cancelation (ANC) via Bluetooth 5.3. The earphones also come with IPX4 splash resistance. The 10mm drivers offer some balance and quality sound for the device. Each bud has two microphones, with touch controls and in-ear detection also present. The fact that these earphones are partly made from recycled materials will improve its rating among sustainability enthusiasts, and could expectedly attract more patronage for the device.
Back in January 2021, it was reported that Samsung was in talks with a raft of carmakers to extend digital key functionality into the Galaxy S21 series. It seems the partnership has been successful as the Samsung Galaxy smartphones sporting the Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology are now capable of functioning as digital car keys. With this feature, Galaxy smartphone users that have the UWB will be able to lock, unlock and start some cars using their smartphones.
The UWB technology seems a game-changer in the tech industry, given its expanding applications to diverse fields from smart tags to smartphones and even smart home appliances. It is a short-range wireless communication protocol and uses radio waves for connectivity similar to Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, although at a much higher frequency. The UWB brings greater precision and connectivity options to smartphones and other devices that make use of it, thus far better than Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.
The UWB will make it possible to users to lock and unlock their cars, start the engine, and do a few more tasks. As stated in the January report, the digital key functionality makes it possible for the owner to share access to his car with a third party, even with the possibility of setting a time limit on how long the shared digital key will work. The first vehicle to have this feature is the Genesis V60 electric vehicle in Korea by the turn of the year.
The UWB is already present in the Galaxy S21+, S21 Ultra, Z Fold 2, Z Fold 3 and Note 20 Ultra. It will likely be a key feature in Samsung’s subsequent flagship models, going forward. It is also likely that the cars that can have the digital key functionality will be expanded to cover some of the popular brands.
A couple of weeks back, Xiaomi revealed that the Redmi Note series will start receiving the MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition update in October. The company has now begun to roll out this update ahead of schedule. The first devices in the lineup to get access to the latest version of MIUI are Redmi Note 9 5G and Redmi Note 10 5G. At the same time, the update is also available for Mi 10 Youth Edition.
The above-listed software builds are currently labeled as ‘Stable Beta’. In other words, they are only available for a select few users as they are being rolled out in batches.
Having said that, these Redmi Note models are also sold in international markets as Redmi Note 9T 5G and Redmi Note 10 5G / Redmi Note 10T 5G. We expect them to receive the new update in the coming days.
Today, Redmi officially launched the Redmi Note 10 Lite smartphone in India. The smartphone isn’t anything new, rather it is a rebadge of the old Redmi Note 9 Pro smartphone with a few tweaks.
The Redmi Note 10 Lite starts at ₹13,999(~$189) for the 4GB RAM + 64GB storage variant, ₹15,999(~$216) for the 4GB RAM + 128GB storage variant, and ₹16,999(~$229) for the 6GB RAM + 128GB storage variant. It has three colour variants – Midnight Black, Metallic Grey, and Glacier White. The smartphone will go on sale on October 2 at 12PM in India.
Redmi Note 10 Lite Specifications
The Redmi Note 10 Lite has the same exteriors as the old Redmi Note 9 Pro. It sports a 6.67-inch IPS LCD display with a Full-HD+ resolution. It has a protection of Corning Gorilla Glass 5 and holds a 16MP selfie camera in the punch-hole cut-out.
The smartphone has a quad-camera system at the rear placed at the upper centre of the back. It has a 48MP main camera lens, an 8MP wide-angle camera, a 5MP lens, and lastly a 2MP sensor. The device has a side-facing fingerprint scanner for added security.
At the helm. it is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G SoC paired with up to 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. It also comes with a microSD card slot for storage expansion. The handset comes within a 5,020mAh battery which is again the same as the Note 9 Pro and has an 18W fast charging support. It has a 3.5mm headphone jack for audio and a USB Type-C port for charging. The device runs on Android 11 out of the box and has the MIUI 12 on top of it.
Dutch company Fairphone has finally taken the wraps off the Fairphone 4. The phone retains the modular design of its predecessor and indeed, it takes over from the Fairphone 3+ that was launched last year.
The Fairphone 4 arrives as the brand’s first 5G smartphone and sports a 6.3-inch Full HD+ display coated with Gorilla Glass 5. The display features a slim bezel design with a waterdrop notch at the top. The notch houses a 25-megapixel selfie camera.
The modular phone is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 750G processor that had earlier been utilized on premium mid-rangers like the Galaxy A52 5G and Moto G 5G. The processor pairs with 6GB RAM with 128GB storage on some models while others pack an 8GB RAM with 256GB internal storage. There is a microSD card slot that can be used to expand the storage up to 2TB.
At the rear, the device sports a dual camera setup at the rear comprising a Sony ½-inch Exmor IMX582 sensor with OIS, 8x digital zoom, and capable of shooting 4K video at 30fps, or HD slow-motion at 240fps. The second camera is a 48-megapixel f/2.2 120-degree wide-angle lens for landscape photography. There is also a time-of-flight sensor for better autofocus. So you can call it a triple camera setup if you like.
The Fairphone 4 can support both a physical nano-SIM as well as an eSIM, both of which support 5G. It crams a 3,905mAH battery under the hood. The phone runs on ANdroid 11 out-of-the-box but Fairphone has promised to deliver five-years warranty and Android support terminating at 2027. Parts for the phone will also be available till 2027.
As for the pricing and availability, the Fairphone 4 will be available to pre-order on September 30th but will start shipping on October 25th. The phone starts at €579 for the 6GB RAM + 128GB model while the 8GB + 256GB model will retail for €649.
The Motorola Edge 20 Pro was first announced in Europe in late July with a €699 (~$809) price tag for the 12GB RAM + 256GB variant. In a now-deleted tweet, the Motorola India Twitter account revealed that the phone will sell for ₹36,999 (~$498). That is much cheaper than the price tag in Europe but we should note that the version launching in India will have 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.
The promotional page on Flipkart already lists the full specifications of the device. The Edge 20 Pro will have a 144Hz 10-bit AMOLED display with a centered punch-hole for a 32MP front-facing camera. Powering the phone is a Snapdragon 870 processor that draws juice from a 4500mAh battery that charges at 30W.
The phone has three rear cameras – a 108MP primary camera with Ultra Pixel technology, an 8MP periscope telephoto camera with OIS and 5x optical zoom, and a 16MP ultrawide angle camera that doubles as a macro camera. The Edge 20 Pro also has up to 50x superzoom and a zoom microphone. It can also record in 8K at 24fps and in 4K at 30fps.
The phone has a side-mounted fingerprint scanner and a USB-C port with DisplayPort so owners can make use of the Ready For feature that allows the Edge 20 Pro to be connected to an external display and be used as a desktop computer.
The Edge 20 Pro will run Android 11 out of the box and Motorola has confirmed that it will receive Android 12 and Android 13 OS upgrades as well as two years of security updates. The phone will be sold by Flipkart and will be available in Iridescent Cloud and Midnight Sky.

Back in June, Honor 50 was unveiled in the Chinese market with specs like a 120Hz OLED display, 108MP cameras, and a mid-range chipset. Now, Honor is gearing for its global release as today, the company has confirmed its European launch date.
The Honor 50 will be official on October 26 in the European market. The company confirmed that the smartphone will debut in the UK and some European markets. For those who are unaware, the device was seen listed on the Honor German page hinting at its availability in that market.

The Honor 50 starts at CNY 2699(~$419) in China for the base model with an 8GB + 128GB storage variant. We expect the phone to be priced similarly when it arrives in Europe.

Lenovo has been teasing the Xiaoxin Pad Pro 12.6 for the past few days. This high-end Android tablet is expected to compete against the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7+ and Apple iPad Pro.

According to the official Lenovo Xiaoxin Weibo account, the Lenovo Xiaoxin Pad Pro 12.6 will sport a Samsung E4 AMOLED display with a resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels and 10,000,000:1 contrast ratio. This screen will have a 120Hz refresh rate and a 360Hz touch sampling rate.

According to previous teasers and leaks, the Lenovo Xiaoxin Pad Pro 12.6 will flaunt a metal body with a dual-tone finish. The slate will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 and will arrive with specs like 13MP + 5MP dual rear camera setup, 8MP + ToF dual front camera setup, a MicroSD card slot, a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, a USB 3.1 (Type-C) port, quad-speakers, 10,200mAh battery, and 45W fast charging.
Some key specs information about the unreleased Nokia G300 5G smartphone has surfaced and this could be a pointer to the imminent releases of the probably affordable smartphone from Nokia. The device will be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 480 chipset and will have a 720p+ display, as well as a 16MP rear-facing camera.
The Snapdragon 480 was also deployed in some of Nokia’s latest offerings like the G50, X10, and X20. The chipset will offer some incremental advantages over some earlier models. The Snapdragon 480 is also 5G-enabled, further increasing the credentials of the model.
The leak also shows that the Nokia G300 5G has a 6.57-inch LCD and a 20:9 aspect ratio. The display is also marginally smaller than the G50 which has a 6.82-inch 720p+ display. The camera setup of the Nokia G300 5G looks pretty underwhelming on the surface. The triple rear camera setup includes a 16MP main sensor, a 5MP ultra-wide, and a 2MP depth sensor. There is also an 8MP front-facing camera. As per the camera specs, the Nokia G300 5G lies between the G10 and G20 on both ends of the spectrum.
The G300 5G will run on Android 11 with a 64GB internal storage and microSD card capacity of up to 1TB. The new device is likely to have a 4,470 mAh battery with possibly fast charging support, although the rating is unclear at this time. It is expected that more details could be gotten as we inch closer to the scheduled October 6 HMD event.

Honor, the company which became independent from Huawei last year, has resumed launching smartphones in the market, that too in the flgahip and premium segment. Now, similar to other Chinese manufacturers, Honor has ambitious plans for its smartphones and has already patented new designs.
A new patent from Honor reveals that the company might be working on a rollable smartphone with a wrap-around screen. The images shared along with the patent application shows a narrow phone with a large wrap-around screen which covers the entire front and the back. Interestingly, there’s no front-facing camera visible of the device.
On the back, there’s a small vertical frame where the display parts come together and from where the screen is rolled out towards the front. Given that it has a wrap-around screen, the power button has been moved to the top. The vertical frame on the backpanel features a quad-camera setup with an LED flash. The system seems to be inspired from the Huawei Mate X foldable smartphone.
When the screen is fully rolled out, it will have a tablet-sized screen and likely to measure around 11-inch. This is similar to the Huawei Mate rollable smartphone that was reported a few weeks ago.
However, before launching a smartphone with rollable camera, the company is planning to launch a foldable smartphone. It has already registered model names Honor Magic Flip and Honor Magic Fold. Honor CEO George Zhao hs said that when the company launches its foldable smartphone, it’ll be the best in the market.
OPPO has already revealed its OPPO X 2021 Rollable Concept Smartphone that uses a rollable OLED panel allowing the display to extend from 6.7 inches to 7.4 inches. However, the device isn’t available commercially. On the other hand, Xiaomi had launched Mi MIX Alpha smartphone last year with a wrap-around screen.
Xiaomi Mi 11, Mi 11i, and Mi 11 Ultra smartphones are primed to enjoy the latest Android 12 stable version testing which is already in motion. Xiaomi thus joins a flurry of Android smartphone manufacturers that have kickstarted the latest iteration of the stable version of the new operating system. This program precedes the full release of the Android 12 OS subsequently.
The Xiaomi Android 12 stable testing program will involve members of the Xiaomi community getting access to the latest OS and also providing useful feedback on its performance. It is meant for users who do not mind compromising system stability and performance to test the new Android 12 OS. The testing program may be subsequently extended outside the Mi 11 series, to cater to all segments of Xiaomi’s clientele. The specific announcement was relayed to the Mi Community (Global), and applications are currently being received from MIUI Global Stable ROM users, which does not include Indian users for now.
Up to 200 testers are expected to be recruited at the first instance and the application form is still open for registration. Users are also requested to install Telegram Messenger on their smartphones so they can join the conversation and report any bugs discovered. The processes indicate that we are indeed very close to the full release of the Android 12 OS together with its impressive features and functionality. The Stable testing is also expected to be a short process and will help to finetune all the challenges and bugs inherent in the Android 12.
Honor will be announcing new phones for the global market come October 27. The new devices are the Honor 50 and the Honor 50 Lite, and while the former is the same as the China version, the Honor 50 Lite is a new device in the Honor 50 series. It turns out it actually isn’t a new Honor phone per se.
According to the leaker @RODENT950, the Honor 50 Lite is a rebadged Huawei Nova 8i but the design is actually that of the Honor X20. While that may sound a bit confusing, it isn’t.
The Huawei Nova 8i and the Honor X20 are actually very similar. They have the same display size and type, front cameras, battery capacity, and fast charging technology. However, there are some differences which are actually on the back of the phones. The two phones have a similar rear design but the Nova 8i has four cameras while the Honor X20 has three. Because the latter has fewer sensors, its LED flash is housed along with the three cameras which isn’t the case on the Nova 8i whose LED flash sits outside the camera housing.
Honor 50 and Honor 50 Lite These are first Honor phones for global market after independence. 50 lite is rebadged Huawei Nova8i which is a little different looking than the X20but overall design is same as X20. #Honor50#Honor50Litepic.twitter.com/qJfsgtjPWY
Since we know the design of the Honor 50 Lite is the same as the Honor X20, then we know it will have three rear cameras. We also know that the Honor 50 Lite will be a 4G phone which is where its similarity with the Nova 8i comes in. Unlike the Honor X20 which has a Dimensity 900 5G chipset, the Nova 8i has a Snapdragon 662 processor which we can expect will also power the Huawei 50 Lite. In fewer words, the Honor 50 Lite is a Honor X20 with a Snapdragon 662 chipset.
Based on these details, the Honor 50 Lite should launch with a 6.67-inch LCD FHD+ display with a pill-shaped cut-out for a 16MP front-facing camera. On the back will be a 64MP + 2MP + 2MP triple camera configuration and under the hood should be a 4300mAh battery with support for 66W fast charging. It should also have a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, a USB-C port, and an audio jack. Just like the Honor 50, it should run Magic UI based on Android 11 with Google Mobile Services.
It was reported recently that Amazon had clamped down on thousands of online stores on its platform for infractions against the company’s policy on paid customer reviews. The move was seen as the largest shutdown so far, with the bulk of the brands affected coming from China. About 600 brands were affected by the clampdown, totaling up to 3,000 stores.
It seems some of these companies are not taking the Amazon decision lightly, as it has resulted in serious financial dislocations and a downward review of their overall outlook. Several of these companies have now filed a class action complaint against Amazon for its action in shutting them out of the Amazon marketplace. The complaint is dated September 13 and has several popular Chinese brands listed including Recoo Direct, Angelbliss, Tudi, Sopownic, and Cstech, among others. The companies are jointly seeking a recovery of their funds that are being illegally and improperly withheld by the respondent, Amazon.
They also desire a decision of the court to stop any further misappropriation and misuse of funds that are rightfully and legally due to the thousands of Amazon online sellers and merchants. The companies claim they have been unfavorably targeted by the policy against incentivized reviews and therefore want to be restored back to the platform.
The 28-page document was filed by Edward Chen, on behalf of the plaintiffs against Amazon and some of its subsidiaries. The court papers were filed at the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. It remains however to be seen what the outcome of the suit will be.
The standard, compact Samsung Galaxy S22 with a 6.1-inch display will account for nearly half of the Galaxy S22 series phones to be produced. Samsung apparently sees a lot of potential in the device and has set a shipment goal of up to 60% for it, out of the lineup comprised of it and the S22+ and S22 Ultra.
Samsung Galaxy S22 render
The 6.7-inch Galaxy S22+ is expected to account for 20% of shipments (via: The Elec), while the 6.8-inch Galaxy S22 Ultra’s share will range between 20-30%. The Ultra model is being touted as a successor to the Note 20 Ultra and will be able to house the S Pen stylus, sources confirmed. This makes the low expectations from the S22 Ultra odd considering the phone is meant to fill the shoes of the Note lineup.
Such figures are definitely a first-timer since Samsung has never before intentionally set a single model to account for over half of the production and shipment target. Take the S20 series, for example, where the standard version accounted for 40% of the production, while the Plus and Ultra models took up to 45% and 15% respectively.

Further, Samsung is aiming to manufacture just around 20 million units for the entire S22 series, at least initially, which is very conservative when compared to the usual figure of 25-30 million units. However, the 20 million target may change when mass production commences or after the phones are unveiled.
The lowering of the sales target may be due to the chip shortage that seems to be worsening as we near the end of 2021. Another factor at play could be the diminishing sales figures Samsung’s flagship series has been seeing for the past couple of years.
