There have been multiple reports that there will be three models in the Honor Magic3 series based on the fact that three models were submitted for certification. It turns out there will actually be four models according to a new leak from a reliable source.

The info comes from @RODENT950, one of the sources that originally reported there will be three models. In a tweet posted earlier today, he disclosed the name of all four models in the Magic3 series.

According to the tweet, the models are the Magic3 SE which is similar to the Huawei Mate 40, the Magic3 which is like the Mate 40 Pro, the Magic3 Pro, and the Magic3 Pro+.

At the moment, we do not know the specs of these four devices but there is a possibility the Honor Magic3 SE won’t feature a Snapdragon 888 Plus processor but either a less-powerful Snapdragon chipset or one from MediaTek.

Honor has confirmed that it will announce the Magic3 series at a global event on August 12. We do not know if all four models will be announced at the global event. We also can’t rule out the possibility of some models being exclusive to select markets.

Over a million Redmi Power Banks sold in India since launch

Jul 17, 2021

Redmi, the sub-brand of Xiaomi, launched the Redmi Power Bank in China in June 2019. Eight months later, this power accessory finally made its way to the Indian shores in February 2020. Almost one and a half years since its debut in the country, the product has achieved a major milestone in the region.

According to the official Redmi India Twitter account, the brand has managed to sell over a million units of Redmi Power Banks in India since its launch. For those unaware, this battery pack comes in two variants (10,000mAh, 20,000mAh) and they are slightly cheaper than the Mi Power Banks.

The Redmi Power Bank 10,000mAh and Redmi Power Bank 20,000mAh currently retail for ₹799 and ₹1,499 respectively. Interestingly, they are still selling at their launch price even more than a year later. They can be bought in either White or Black color options.

The Redmi Power Banks are assembled in India, just like the Mi Power Banks. In November 2020, Xiaomi revealed that it had sold more than 10 million ‘Made in India’ Mi Power Banks to date.

Usually, whenever Xiaomi announces any achievement of a product, it releases a successor to that product. Hence, there’s a chance that the firm could announce new Redmi Power Bank models in the coming days.

Redmi has not launched any new Power Bank other than the original models in China. Hence, if Xiaomi is set to debut a new one in India, it could be a rebadged version of one of the many Mi Power Banks sold in China.

A recent leak by 91mobiles claimed that the Samsung Galaxy A22 5G will be debuting in India in August. The publication has now learned the pricing of the Galaxy A22 5G through its retail sources. To recollect, the smartphone had debuted in European markets in June and now it is all set to debut in India.

The publication revealed that the Galaxy A22 5G will be available in two options in India. The 6 GB RAM + 128 GB storage and 8 GB RAM + 128 GB storage variants of the A22 5G will be priced at Rs 19,999 (~$268) and Rs 21,999 (~$285), respectively. Probably, the handset could be heading to the offline markets with these prices.

Samsung Galaxy A22 5G specifications

The Galaxy A22 5G has a 6.6-inch LCD FHD+ display that offers a Full HD+ resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate. It has a front camera of 8-megapixel, and its rear-facing triple camera unit has a 48-megapixel main camera, a 5-megapixel ultrawide lens, and a 2-megapixel depth sensor.

Maimang 10 SE launch date confirmed, likely to drop Huawei branding

Jul 17, 2021

In November 2020, Huawei announced that Honor is no longer its sub-brand as it will continue to function independently. Fresh information reveals that Huawei may have given away its Maimang line of smartphones to China Telecom. The reason behind it is that China Telecom has recently confirmed that it will be launching the Maimang 10 SE at 2:30 PM on July 19 in China. The launch date poster has no Huawei branding, which suggests that Huawei will not be manufacturing or marketing the device.

Last year, Huawei announced the Maimang 9 smartphone in July. At that time, the R&D, manufacturing, and marketing of the device was done by Huawei. The Maimang 9 handset had carried Huawei’s logo. Since Huawei is not mentioned in the launch poster, it is unclear whether the device is involved in the manufacturing of the device. Since China Telecom does not have a mobile phone manufacturing plant, probably it has worked with an ODM to build the Maimang 10 SE.

Maimang 10 SE specifications (Rumored)

Fresh leaks have revealed that the Maimang 10 SE has a 6.5-inch LCD 60Hz display with a teardrop notch. For security, it has a side-mounted fingerprint scanner. The display notch houses a selfie snapper of 8-megapixel.

The squarish camera on the backside of the device has a 13-megapixel main camera, and a pair of 2-megapixel sensors. The Snapdragon 480 5G chipset is present under the hood of the device.

The handset is expected to arrive with a 5,000mAh battery that carries support for 22.5W fast charging. At present, there is no information on the pricing of the device. Shown above are the live shots of the Maimang 10 SE. As can be seen, the device does not feature a Huawei logo.

Korean tech giant Samsung can boast of a wide range of business segments that puts it up there as one of the largest businesses in the world if the totality of its businesses is considered. The company offers its latest high-capacity three-door convertible refrigerators to the Indian market, with extended cooling features.

The 2021 Samsung 3-Door Convertible Refrigerators offer fast cooling of food and liquid content, using the power cool and freeze technology. A 4-liter water dispenser is also attached to the refrigerators, offering chilled water on the go without opening the refrigerator.

Indian customers can now access the latest Samsung 2021 range of three-door French Door refrigerators. They offer twin cooling technology, together with power cool and freeze technology for a strong cooling effect. The refrigerator also offers all-round versatility, as it can also serve as a Water Dispenser.

The Samsung 2021 3-Door refrigerators are convertible, giving users greater width in how they use their refrigerators. The freezer can be converted into a fridge when needed, providing greater storage of food items above freezing levels when the need arises.

The twin cooling plus technology makes it possible for the refrigerator to optimize its performance and minimize temperature fluctuations because it has two separate evaporators for the fridge and freezer. This, in turn, maintains a higher humidity for food preservation. The refrigerators also come with more space inside, including 21.7-liter crispers, bigger bins, an expansive freezer sporting two shelves, and a movable ice-maker.

Samsung India hopes that its latest 3-Door Convertible refrigerators will satisfy the yearnings of the Indian customers as a worthy complement to their modern kitchens while also strengthening the company’s market position. Two models are available for purchase from Samsung India and retail outlets across the subcontinent. The 579L models are priced at Rs. 95,990 (~$1,285), while the 580L models cost Rs. 89,990 (~$1,205).

POCO M3 was first unveiled at the end of November 2020. However, the smartphone made its way to India only in February 2021. Five months later, the handset now receives its first price hike in the region instead of getting a price drop though it has become older. The device also gets a new memory variant.

The POCO M3 now comes in three storage configurations in India – 4GB + 64GB, 6GB + 64GB, and 6GB + 128GB. The newly introduced 4GB + 64GB version is priced at ₹10,499. Whereas, the older two variants debuted at ₹10,999 and ₹12,499 respectively.

Six months later, the Xiaomi brand has increased the price of the older variants. The mid and the top version of the device gets a ₹500 price hike. Hence, the phone now retails for the following price tags in the country.

POCO M3 Variants	Old Price	Price Hike	New Price
4GB + 64GB (New)	₹10,499	–	₹10,499
6GB + 64GB	₹10,999	₹500	₹11,499
6GB + 128GB	₹12,499	₹500	₹12,999

The POCO M3 has received positive reception in India ever since it was released in the region. The brand sold over 1,50,000 units in the first sale, followed by 2,50,000 units in less than 10 days. The handset crossed half a million units in sales a month after its launch and over 7,50,000 units after four months since release.

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

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

	Vivo iQOO Neo5	Vivo iQOO Neo5 Lite	Vivo iQOO 7
DIMENSIONS AND WEIGHT	163.3 x 76.4 x 8.4 mm, 196 grams	164 x 75.5 x 8.9 mm, 198 grams	162.2 x 75.8 x 8.7 mm, 210 grams

BATTERY	4400 mAh, fast charging 66W	4500 mAh, fast charging 44W	4000 mAh, fast charging 120W
ADDITIONAL FEATURES	Dual SIM slot, 5G	Dual SIM slot, 5G	Dual SIM slot, 5G

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 iPhone 13 to come with Wi-Fi 6E offering improved speed and range

By

-

Jul 16, 2021

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.
