Jul 6, 2021

Vivo has recently announced the Vivo V21 5G and Vivo V21e 5G smartphones in India. In the past few months, the handset was spotted at the Geekbench benchmarking site and Google Play Console. Now, it has appeared on the AI benchmarking platform.

The upcoming Vivo V21 SE’s AI benchmark listing reveals that it is powered by the Snapdragon 720G processor and 8 GB of RAM. The device is expected to come loaded with Android 11 OS. The handset was spotted with the same specs at Geekbench. However, instead of the V21 SE moniker, the device had appeared with the V2061 model number at Geekbench.

The Google Play Console listing of the phone had revealed that the Vivo V21 SE supports a Full HD resolution and a 440ppi pixel density. The listing also carried an image of the phone, which revealed that it has a punch-hole display. At present, there is no information on the camera specifications of the V21 SE.

The Vivo V21 SE will be replacing the Vivo V20 SE from last year. The V20 SE has a 6.44-inch AMOLED FHD+ display with an in-screen fingerprint scanner, a 32-megapixel front camera, and a 48-megapixel (main) + 8-megapixel (ultrawide) + 2-megapixel (depth) triple camera system.

The V21 SE has a 4,100mAh battery that supports 33W fast charging. It is also powered by the Snapdragon 720G chip and 8 GB of RAM. It comes with 128 GB of built-in storage and a microSD card slot for more storage. It seems that the V21 SE may arrive with better cameras as compared to the predecessor model.

Xiaomi launches new MIJIA Air Pump 1S for 199 Yuan ($30) in China

Jul 6, 2021

Xiaomi had initially launched its own Mi Air Pump tire inflator back in 2019. Now, the company has just unveiled a new tire inflator from MIJIA, which is available for 199 Yuan (roughly 30 US Dollars).

The Chinese tech giant has officially released the new MIJIA Air Pump 1S earlier today (6th July 2021). This new tire inflator arrives with a price tag similar to the one the company launched two years ago and is currently listed for sales on online e-retailers JD.com. As per official notes, the new tire inflator has launched with various improvements and optimizations to offer a better performance over the previous generation.

Furthermore, its total capacity has also be increased by about 45.4 percent, which enables it to fill two car tires that have nearly zero air pressure in just 11 minutes on full capacity. Similarly, it can even inflate eight car tires that have insufficient air pressure. Meanwhile, the previous iteration could only fill about 5.5 of such car tires. The body of the MIJIA Air Pump 1S uses a high precision alloy die cast cylinder block, which only takes 20 seconds to pressurize from 0 psi to 150 psi.

This even useful for the high pressure requirements of mountain bikes, pressure shock absorbers and even regular road bike tires. A notably upgrade is the the air pressure sensor, which now arrives with a digital chip that can accurate detect tire pressure by just a small margin of error. The device also offers up to 5 different kinds of inflation modes (namely free mode, bicycle mode, motorcycle mode, car mode, and ball mode) and can also prevent over inflation. It is powered by a 2,000mAh battery pack and does not require an external power supply for charging.

Sleep patterns can also be monitored using the sleep sensor and several other metrics of health and wellness. Hundreds of music can also be downloaded via Spotify or Amazon Music.

The Venu 2 and Venu 2S GPS smartwatches will be available on Amazon India, Flipkart, and a mixture of online and offline outlets across the country. The Garmin Venu 2 is priced at Rs. 49,990 (~$670), while the Venu 2S will retail for Rs. 37,990 (~$511) in India.

Unlike other smartphone makers, Xiaomi is probably the only company to release weekly beta builds of its Android skin for select models. Hence, it has always been easy to know the upcoming MIUI features as well as new devices before their official release.

The MIUI Beta build that is said to roll out tomorrow could be the first-ever build of MIUI 13. As per previous information, Xiaomi has scheduled to suspend MIUI Open Beta builds from July 7 to July 16.

Therefore, Xiaomiui believes that their speculation could be mostly true. If this turns out to be accurate, we expect to learn more about MIUI 13 in the coming days. Until then, let us know your expectations for MIUI 13 in the comment section below.

Multiple reports have claimed that Realme is gearing up to launch a new Master Edition phone. It seems that its arrival is not far away as Realme CEO has teased its arrival through a tweet. He seems to be teasing the launch of the Realme GT Master Edition.

As Madhav has mentioned in the tweet, the predecessor Master Edition was inspired by subconscious choices and surroundings, and they were designed in partnership with Japanese designer Naoto Fukasawa. Past reports have revealed that the Realme RMX3366 phone that was approved by TENAA last month will be debuting in China as the Realme GT Master Edition.

It could be backed by a 4,500mAh battery that supports 65W fast charging. For photography, it may feature a 32-megapixel front camera and a 5-megapixel + 16-megapixel + 2-megapixel triple camera system.

A contradictory leak by OnLeaks claimed that the Realme GT Master Edition has a 6.43-inch AMOLED FHD+ 120Hz display, Snapdragon 778G, up to 12 GB of RAM, up to 256 GB of storage, 64-megapixel triple cameras, a 32-megapixel selfie camera, and a 4,300mAh battery with 65W fast charging. Probably, there could be two variants of the same phone. Hence, it is advisable to wait for newer reports to know about the GT Master Edition. The leak claimed that the phone will come in black, white, and faux leather variants.

Jul 6, 2021

Known Chinese rugged phone maker AGM has just teased a new device. This is an upcoming brick phone that appears to be similar to the vintage Motorola Dynatac (which was first launched in 1983), with the company shared the teased online.

Looking at the image poster, the company is working on a new brick phone, which is quite different from the modern day smartphone. While brick phones are no longer in popular demand in the current market, AGM is apparently seeking to revive this type of phones. The image poster reveals the device’s design. It features a physical keypad on the front along with a display that seems smaller than a conventional smartphone from this day and age.

Notably, the image poster reveals certain applications on the screen of the brick phone. These apps are placed in grid like manner and includes WeChat and TikTok social media platforms along with system apps like camera. This implies that the upcoming AGM brick phone will also feature a camera sensor on the back. AGM working on a brick phone is a big difference from other phone makers that are working to offer devices that are thinner and lighter.

Although, this rugged brick phone could be used by those that require endurance from their handset. In other words, we can expected the phone to be drop resistance, and likely even water resistance as well. Unfortunately, this is still an image teaser and the company has yet to reveal any finer details regarding the brick phone. So stay tuned for more updates.

Jul 6, 2021

While Huawei offered us a first look at the P50 last month, the company has yet to officially launch the flagship smartphone series. Now, a new leak has revealed certain details regarding the display and other features of the upcoming lineup.

According to Weibo blogger @数码闲聊站, the Chinese tech giant’s high end P50 Pro will feature a center punch hole camera display on the front. This panel will apparently sport a 1224 x 2696px or a 2.5K resolution with a 20:9 aspect ratio. The tipster also added that the upcoming flagship smartphone will arrive with support for 5G and Wi-Fi 6 Plus networks, although, these features were expected to be included.

The leak apparently arrives from a screenshot that was shared in comment on Weibo, a Chinese microblogging website, by a company official. The executive in question is Bruce Lee, Vice President of Huawei’s smartphone product line. As of right now, finer details regarding the smartphone is currently unknown and the brand has yet to reveal the launch date of the series as well. Although, we had previously reported on a supposed 29th July 2021 launch date.

Talking about the device, the Huawei P50 series is expected to be powered by the 5nm based Kirin 9000 chipset for the home market and Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 flagship chipset for certain models in the overseas markets. Keep in mind, this is still just an unconfirmed report so take it with a pinch of salt and stay tuned for more, as we will be providing updates when additional information is available regarding this matter.

Xiaomi is expected to launch a number of products in the second half of 2021 just like it did in the first half. Yesterday, we reported on the launch timeline for some of these devices. Today, we bring you information about yet another product.

Redmi K30 Ultra Featured — Redmi K30 Ultra

According to Xiaomiui, Redmi, the sub-brand of Xiaomi will launch its second smartphone powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 1200 SoC in the near future. This handset could go official as Redmi K40 Ultra. It is said to compete against the upcoming OnePlus Nord 2. As per the source, the phone could be codenamed agate/amber.

Earlier today, we reported on a Redmi handset with a 120Hz display, 64MP primary camera, 5,000mAh battery, and 67W fast charging. This leak comes from Digital Chat Station. According to the tipster, the device will feature a MediaTek MT689x chipset. For those unaware, MediaTek Dimensity 1200 bears the model number MT6893.

Hence, we believe the two sources are talking about the same phone. But unfortunately, we don’t have enough details to prove this assumption of ours.

Anyway, like any other Xiaomi smartphone, we expect to learn more about this device before its official announcement via MIUI code, certifications, leakers, and also official teasers from the company itself.

Xiaomi Mi 12 may launch in early December as Snapdragon 895 might arrive ahead of schedule

Jul 6, 2021

Earlier today (6th July 2021), a new report from a known tipster has revealed that the next gen flagship processor from Qualcomm, the Snapdragon 895, might debut ahead of schedule, which might even lead to Xiaomi launching the Mi 12 in early December.

According to @i冰宇宙 (IceUniverse), the American chipmaking giant will be launching the Snapdragon 895 ahead of schedule by at least half a month. Since the launch of its latest flagship chips usually are at the start of a year, we could expect the new high end processor to launch in early December of this year. In other words, this would also imply that Xiaomi might be launching its next gen flagship, the Mi 12 lineup, by the end of this year.

While the name of the upcoming premium grade smartphone from Xiaomi is currently unknown, it will likely be called the Mi 12 and would be the first to feature, if not one of the first, to feature the new Snapdragon 895 SoC. Similarly, Chen Jin, General Manager of Lenovo has previously stated that its latest flagship phone will arrive with Snapdragon 895 and will launch before New Years day in 2022. So, Xiaomi might also be in line with a similar launch date.

For those unaware, the Chinese tech giant and Qualcomm have had a close partnership for a while now, and has traditionally always launched its annual flagship close to the announcement of new chips. The company had previously launched the Mi 11, which was the first to sport the Snapdragon 888 in December 2020. But now, its successor might be unveiled by the start of December of this year.
