Xiaomi has just announced that it would be launching a new smart TV at the beginning of next month. This is the Mi TV 4A 40 Horizon Edition which will be launched on 1st June 2021.
Immersive experience. Beautiful visuals. Truly a work of art.
Uncover the excellence on the #HorizonEdition with Bezel-less design.
𝐈𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐯𝐞. 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐎𝐟 𝐀𝐫𝐭. #MiTV4A40 coming on 01.06.2021.
As per a recent tweet from the Chinese tech giant, the new smart television will feature the Horizon Display, which is offered with minimal bezels on all sides. The company is advertising it with a bezel less design and also showcased the TV in an image poster as well. Looking at the tweet, Mi India stated that the TV would offer an “Immersive experience. Beautiful visuals. Truly a work of art.”
Unfortunately, the company refrained from mentioning any specific details and specifications regarding the upcoming product. Although, the new smart TV is likely to be similar to the Mi TV 4A Horizon Edition, which was launched back in September 2020. This model was launched in two size variants, including a 32 inch and a 43 inch variant. So, we can expect this TV to fill in the size between both models with its 40 inch display.
Mi TV 4A 43 Horizon Edition
Both of the previously launched TVs offered more than 90 percent screen to body ratio and sported up to FHS (1920x1080px) resolution. Under the hood, the TVs housed an Amlogic Cortex A53 quad core processor with Mali 450 MP3 GPU paired with 1GB RAM and 8GB internal storage. These also ran Android Pie and shipped with Xiaomi’s PatchWall. While the pricing of the upcoming Mi TV 4A 40 is unknown, it is expected to be between the 180 to 315 US Dollar price tag that the 32 inch and 43 inch model shipped with, respectively.
Recent reports have revealed that the OPPO phone with model number PENM00, which was recently seen at China’s TENAA and 3C certification site is the forthcoming OPPO Reno6 Pro+ flagship. The handset is set to go official with the Reno6 5G and Reno6 Pro 5G on May 27 in China. Ahead of the launch, the PENM00 handset has appeared on the Geekbench benchmarking site (via) with some of its key specs.
Reports have claimed that the Snapdragon 870 chipset will be present under the hood of the Reno6 Pro+ 5G. The SoC is mentioned with “kona” codename and 1.80GHz base frequency on Geekbench 4.2.
The Geekbench listing further mentions that the device has 12 GB of RAM ahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngyc3YNVWQInd it runs on Android 11 OS. In the single-core and multi-core tests of Geekbench, the handset scored 4649 and 12712 points, respectively.
Last week, the Reno6 Pro+ 5G was found listed on popular Chinese retailer sites such as JD.com and Suning. The listing revealed that the 12 GB RAM variant of the Reno6 Pro+ 5G will ship with 256 GB of storage. Its base model will offer 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage.

The OPPO Reno6 Pro+ 5G is expected to arrive with a 6.55-inch AMOLED FHD+ display, an in-screen fingerprint scanner, and a 4,500mAh battery with 65W fast charging support. It has a front camera of 32-megapixel and its rear camera setup has a 50-megapixel Sony IMX766 primary camera, a 16-megapixel ultrawide lens, a 13-megapixel telephoto camera, and a 2-megapixel macro camera. At present, there is no word on its pricing.
Reports have revealed that the Reno6 will be arriving with the latest Dimensity 900. On the other side, the Reno6 Pro will be equipped with the Dimensity 1200 chipset.
The Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G will be getting a successor in the form of the Redmi Note 10 Pro 5G on May 26. Ahead of it, Xiaomi is updating the older device to the latest version of MIUI. In other words, the Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G has started receiving the MIUI 12.5 update.
The Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G launched in late November 2020 with MIUI 12 based on Android 10. The phone was updated to Android 11 at the end of March 2021. Now, two months later, Xiaomi, the parent company of Redmi is rolling out MIUI 12.5 update for this handset.
The Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G MIUI 12.5 update arrives with build number V12.5.2.0.RJSCNXM. Just like any other new MIUI public release, this build is currently in the ‘Stable Beta’ phase.
In simpler words, the new software build is being seeded out in batches. Hence, at the moment, the latest system update is only available for a select few users. But it should be available for everyone in the coming days.
That said, the Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G is sold as Mi 10i in India. The smartphone is also known as Mi 10T Lite (64MP primary camera instead of 108MP) in other markets. Therefore, these two phones could also get the MIUI 12.5 update in near future.
It is not uncommon for smartphone brands to take a jab at one another from time to time. Samsung has done so in the past as well, especially against its rival Apple. Now, the company has mocked the latter’s high end iPhone 12 Pro Max‘s camera in new TV ads.
Recently, the South Korean tech giant released new TV ads in the US, and even shared these ads on their official YouTube channel as well. In these ads, the brand can be seen comparing its current high end flagship, the Galaxy S21 Ultra, with the highest offering from the Cupertino based giant, the iPhone 12 Pro Max. The former carefully chose scenarios and highlighted camera features that would embarass the iPhone.
The new punch line from Samsung was that “Your phone upgrade shouldn’t be a downgrade” and the company clearly showcased that in the ads. The first ad compares the two devices in a scene where they are capturing a cheese sandwich. Here, the Galaxy S21 Ultra retains a much higher degree of detail compared to the iPhone 12 Pro Max thanks to its higher 108 megapixel resolution sensor.
The second ad went even further to humiliate the Apple iPhone as it was a zoom test. For those unaware, the Galaxy S21 Ultra features a 100x zoom lens on the rear camera module. This was compared to the simple 12x magnification offered by the iPhone, making it seem terrible in regards to detail. While the comparisons are strictly tailored to favor the Galaxy S21 Ultra, it does highlight the slower pace at which Apple adopts newer technology, with its current high end model still not offering any form of a dedicated zoom lens even in 2020/2021.
As expected, OnePlus has launched the OnePlus TV 40Y1 in India today. This is the sixth OnePlus television for the country. As the name suggests, the new model is part of the OnePlus TV Y series. In other words, it is a budget smart TV targeted at first-time buyers.
OnePlus TV 40Y1
OnePlus TV 40Y1 Specifications and Features
The OnePlus TV 40Y1 sports a 40-inch LED-backlit LCD panel with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, 93% DCI-P3 color gamut, and 93% screen-to-body ratio. The TV features a plastic build, and it can be either placed on a table or wall-mounted. However, unlike the stands that come in the box, the wall mount is sold separately.
The television is powered by an unknown 64-bit chipset coupled with 1 GB RAM and 8GB internal storage. It runs Android TV 9.0 Pie operating system with OxygenPlay content aggregation service. Further, it supports all the leading streaming services, Google Chromecast, Google Assistant, and even Amazon Alexa.
As for connectivity and ports, the TV comes with single-band WiFi, Bluetooth 5.0, 2 x HDMI, 2 x USB, RF, optical digital audio port, 3-in-1 AV composite, and Ethernet. Whereas, for audio, the television features 2 x 10W (20W) speakers with support for Dolby Audio.
Last but not least, the OnePlus TV 40Y1 is also compatible with the OnePlus Connect app for controls and other options.
OnePlus TV 40Y1 Price and Availability in India
The OnePlus TV 40Y1 is priced at ₹23,999 ($329) in India. However, the television will be selling at a discounted price tag of ₹21,999 ($302) during the first sale on Flipkart (May 26, 12 PM). It will be also available on the OnePlus online store.
Recently, the upcoming Samsung Galaxy M22 was spotted on Geekbench. The listing suggested this smartphone to be a rebranded Galaxy A22 (4G variant). Now, a new report confirms that the Galaxy M22 will be identical to the Galaxy M32 and will share most of its specs with the Galaxy A22.

According to a report by GalaxyClub, the forthcoming Galaxy M22 will bear the model number SM-M225FV. For those unaware, the Geekbench listing of the handset also has the same model number. However, it is worth noting that there could be other model numbers depending on regional variants. But they should only differ by the last two alphabets.
Further, the publication says that this phone will be powered by a MediaTek Helio G80 SoC coupled with 4GB RAM. Whereas, its bigger brother Galaxy M32 will have 6GB RAM though it will be also featuring the same chipset.
As for optics, the Galaxy M22 is said to sport a 48MP primary camera and a 13MP selfie camera instead of 64MP and 20MP sensors like the Galaxy M32. However, it is reported to be backed by the same 6,000mAh battery. This is interesting since the Galaxy A22, on which the Galaxy M22 is based, is expected to come with a 5,000mAh battery.
Last but not least, the Galaxy M22 will be available in the same colors as the Galaxy M32. These colors are Black, Blue, and White.
In a nutshell, the Samsung Galaxy M22 will be similar to the Galaxy A22, except for battery and colors. Unfortunately, there’s no official release date for any of the smartphones discussed in this article.
Realme has confirmed that the company will be launching its new smartphone in the Indian market, Realme X7 Max on 31st May. This will be the third device in the Realme X7 lineup in the Indian market after the Realme X7 and Realme X7 Pro.
It has also been revealed that the smartphone will be sold exclusively via online marketplace Flipkart in India. The phone, which is a rebranded version of the Realme GT Neo launched in China, is touted to be the first MediaTek Dimensity 1200-powered smartphone in India.
Along with the Realme X7 Max, the China-based manufacturer is also expected to launch new Realme Smart TVs in 43-inch and 50-inch models, featuring Dolby Vision-enabled 4K display and support for Dolby Atmos audio. Realme could also launch some other accessories that were launched globally a few days back.
The company has also revealed the AnTuTu benchmark scores for the device which is around 7,00,600 points. Realme has also partnered with Asphalt 9 Legends for the smartphone but more details of this partnership remain unknown.
Ahead of the official launch of Realme X7 Max in India, its configurations/variants, as well as color options, have leaked online. The device will be available in two options — 8GB RAM with 128GB storage and 12GB RAM with 256GB storage. The company will offer three color options — Mercury Silver, Asteroid Black, and Milky Way.
Realme has published a dedicated Realme X7 Max 5G page which reveals that the phone will have a punch-hole display and minimal bezels. Being a rebranded Realme GT Neo, we expect the phone to sport a 6.43-inch FHD+ Super AMOLED display with 120Hz refresh rate support. It will be powered by the 6nm MediaTek Dimensity 1200 SoC.
The Dimensity 1200 is an octa-core that has one Cortex-A78 core clocked at 3GHz, three Cortex-A78 Super cores clocked at 2.6GHz, and four efficient Arm Cortex-A55 cores clocked at 2GHz. It is claimed to offer 22% faster CPU performance and is 25% more power-efficient compared to the last generation.
As for the camera, there will be a triple-camera setup on the back featuring a 64-megapixel f/1.8 primary camera along with an 8-megapixel ultra-wide sensor and a 2-megapixel macro shooter. On the front side, we expect a 16-megapixel snapper.
It will run the Android 11 operating system out-of-the-box with the company’s own Realme UI on top. The phone will be powered by a 4,000mAh battery with support for either 50W or 60W fast charging technology.
The Vivo X60 Curved Screen edition smartphone has launched in China. It is yet another X60 series phone from the brand after the Vivo X60, Vivo X60 Pro, Vivo X60 Pro+, and Vivo X60t for the home market. As the name suggests, it is a new variant of the existing Vivo X60 smartphone.
Vivo X60 Curved Screen specifications and features
The major highlight of the Vivo X60 Curved Screen Edition is that it features a 6.56-inch OLED display with curved edges. In comparison, the vanilla X60, which debuted back in December last year came with a 6.56-inch flat AMOLED screen. The rest of the specs of the newly announced Curved Screen model are the same as the original X60.
The Vivo X60 Curved Screen edition’s display supports an FHD+ resolution, a 19.8:9 aspect ratio, HDR10+, up to 120Hz refresh rate, and an in-screen fingerprint scanner. The handset measures 158.57 x 73.24 x 7.59mm and weighs 176 grams.
Vivo X60 Curved Screen
The rear camera setup has a micro-gimbal assisted Sony IMX598 48-megapixel main camera with an f/1.79 aperture, a 13-megapixel ultrawide lens with 120-degree FOV, and a 13-megapixel portrait lens. For selfies, it features a front camera of 32-megapixel. The handset runs on OriginOS 1.0 based Android 11 OS.
The Vivo X60 Curved Screen edition is powered by the Exynos 1080 chipset. It ships with up to 12 GB LPDDR4x RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS 3.1 storage. With memory fusion technology, Vivo offers 3 GB of additional RAM in the form of virtual memory on the X60 Curved Screen edition phone.
The handset houses a 4,300mAh battery, which supports 33W fast charging. The other specs that are available on the device include dual SIM with 5G support, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.1, dual-frequency GPS, and USB Type-C.
Vivo X60 Curved Screen pricing and availability
The Vivo X60 Curved Screen models such as 8 GB RAM + 128 GB storage, 8 GB RAM + 256 GB storage, and 12 GB RAM + 256 GB storage are priced at 3,299 Yuan (~$513), 3,599 Yuan (~$559), and 3,799 Yuan (~$590), respectively. The first sales of the phone will be carried on June 1 in China and it will be available in three colors like Midnight Black, Shimmer Blue, and Shimmer White. The Exynos 1080 powered X60, X60 Pro, and X60 Pro+ have not released outside China. Hence, it does not seem that X60 Curved Screen Edition will be made available in wider markets.
It’s been a few years since Apple launched an updated iPod Touch but it seems that the company could be launching a newly refreshed version of the device pretty soon. As per the reports, Apple is planning to release the next-generation model of the iPod Touch.
The report, coming from Steve Moser of Macrumors, cites Twitter user @AppleLe257 as the source and has also shared some renders of the upcoming device which are created by a user that goes by the handle @Apple_Tomorrow.
Based on the renders shared, the upcoming iPod Touch seems very similar to the newly launched iPhone 12 series, featuring square edges and Face ID for unlocking the device. This will be the first time in around eight years as the design of the iPod Touch has remained pretty unchanged after the fifth-generation model in 2012.
Apart from adding facial recognition technology, it remains to be seen what else the company has planned to modernize this device. We expect Apple to increase the screen size from 4-inch to about 5.4-inch, similar to the size of the iPhone 12 Mini.
Given that the product is dedicated to music consumption, we expect the company to retain the 3.5mm headphone jack — a feature that Apple removed from its iPhone series a few years back. However, it remains to be seen what else ends up in the device’s internals.
The iPod Touch model that is currently available is at a starting price of $199. It will be interesting to see if Apple retains a similar price tag for the new-generation model or increases the pricing. Do note that this is just a rumor at this point in time so take this information with a pinch of salt.
Earlier this year, iQOO unveiled the iQOO Neo5 smartphone with Snapdragon 870 chipset earlier this year in China. Now the company has silently announced a new smartphone called the iQOO Neo5 Vitality Edition (aka iQOO Neo5 Lite) in China. It is the second phone from the brand to feature the Snapdragon 870 chipset. Starting at 2,999 Yuan (~$357), the Vitality Edition offers users with 144Hz display, 48-megapixel triple cameras, and a big battery with fast charging support.
iQOO Neo5 Vitality Edition specifications and features
The iQOO Neo5 Vitality Edition has a 6.57x 2400 pixels, 20:9 aspect ratio, up to 144Hz refresh rate, HDR, 480nits brightness, and 1500:1 contrast ratio. The punch-hole screen delivers a screen-to-body ratio of 90.4 percent. On the right edge of the phone is a power button that doubles up as a fingerprint scanner.
The Snapdragon 870 mobile platform with up to 1 GB of LPDDR5 RAM fuels the iQOO Neo5 Vitality Edition. The handset offers users up to 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage. For smoother functioning of apps, the smartphone uses 3 GB of storage space as RAM through memory fusion technology.
iQOO Neo5 Vitality Edition black
It is backed by a 4,500mAh battery, which supports 44W rapid charging. iQOO claims that it takes around 33 minutes for the phone to gain 70 precent battery juice through the fast charge technology. The phone remains cool during intensive gaming as it features an 11-layer liquid cooling heat dissipation system.
For capturing selfies, the iQOO Neo5 Lite has a 16-megapixel front-facing camera. The vertical camera system on its back has a 48-megapixel primary camera with f/1.79 aperture, an 8-megapixel ultrawide lens with a field-of-view of 120 degrees, and a 2-megapixel macro camera with a 4cm focal length. Some of the photography features offered by the phone include night scene, portrait mode, short video, time-lapse photography, up to 1080p slow-motion video shooting, and up to 4K video recording.
The iQOO Neo5 Lite runs on Android 11 OS and OriginOS 1.0 for iQOO. It offers other features such as stereo speakers, dual SIM, 5G, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.1, GPS, USB-C, and a 3.5mm audio jack. The device measures 163.97 x 75.53 x 8.93mm and weighs 198.3 grams.
iQOO Neo5 Vitality Edition pricing and availability
The iQOO Neo5 Vitality Edition models such as 8 GB RAM + 128 GB storage, 8 GB RAM + 256 GB storage, and 12 GB RAM + 256 GB storage. They are priced at 2,299 Yuan (~$357), 2,499 Yuan (~$388), and 2,699 Yuan (~$419), respectively. It comes in two colors such as Polar Night Black and Ice Peak White.
A piece of cheering news coming from Chinese smartphone manufacturer Xiaomi is that it had sold over 3 million units of just three products in its Mi 11 lineup of smartphones globally. Xiaomi says that the trio of Mi 11, Mi 11 Pro, and Mi 11 Ultra accounted for a substantial part of its market share in China. The combined sales figures were extracted from external sources and third-party retailers and are for the first four months of the year (January to April 2021). The company didn’t disclose how many units of each of the three models were sold.
Xiaomi continues to blossom at home in the Chinese tech market, with many high-end, high-performance products regularly showcased, together with an impressive after-sales experience. The company is also aggressively pursuing expansion in several markets outside China, making substantial inroads into previously uncharted markets in Europe and elsewhere.
Xiaomi’s Mi Store in several parts of the world provides an exceptional customer experience for users. The expansion moves are already yielding results with an exponential increase in sales recorded in several markets.
While the Mi 11 has been on sale since January, the duo of Mi 11 Pro and Mi 11 Ultra were launched in March, packed with several impressive features. The main highlight of the Ultra is the powerful camera setup it features. The models are all powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 888 chipset with 5G support. They also come with strong battery performance as well as fast charging capabilities, among several other features.
Of course, the Xiaomi Mi 11 lineup consists of several other models which when factored in, are bound to increase the sales numbers released for the period under consideration.
Coolpad has a new mid-range phone launching on Wednesday, May 25. The phone will arrive as the COOL 20, and just a few days before the launch, the manufacturer has decided to reveal some of its key specs and features.
The COOL 20 will have MediaTek’s Helio G80 processor powering it, an upgrade from the aged Helio P30 chipset inside its predecessor, the COOL 10. The octa-core chipset has two Cortex-A75 cores and six Cortex-A55 cores clocked at 2.0GHz and 1.8GHz respectively along with a Mali-G52 MP2 GPU.
There will be 128GB of storage onboard with support for storage expansion (256GB max.). Coolpad says it uses the EROFS file system developed by Huawei that allows for more space and is also faster than the F2FS format.
The manufacturer has also confirmed that the phone will have 48MP dual cameras and will feature image processing technology from Arcsoft. It has added a bunch of features including night mode, portrait mode, and HDR mode. Below are some sample photos that were taken by the device. The configuration of the second rear camera was not stated but the front-facing camera is a 13MP sensor.
1 of 4
Another feature confirmed is support for Dual-band Wi-Fi and 4G+ network, the latter of which it claims is three times faster than standard 4G.
The COOL 20 will have a waterdrop notch, be covered in scratch-resistant and oleophobic glass on both sides, and be available in black, green, and white. It will run Cool OS out of the box.
The Motorola Edge S launched at the beginning of the year as the first Snapdragon 870 device. The phone not only has a powerful processor and some pretty nice tricks but also has a killer price tag. If you are on a budget, you should consider it especially now that Motorola has announced a new color variant will be available tomorrow.
When it launched in January, the phone was available in two color variants – Emerald Glaze and Emerald Light. Now, a third variant which has a gray finish and will be sold as the Motorola Edge S Pioneer Edition will be available starting tomorrow.
The Pioneer Edition will have 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage but will be sold for ¥1999 (~$310), the price tag of the 6GB RAM + 128GB version. Save for the new paint job and the cheaper price tag, the specs are the same as the other colors.
The Motorola Edge S has a 6.7-inch 90Hz FHD+ LCD display with two holes at the top left corner of the screen for dual front-facing cameras. It is powered by a Snapdragon 870 processor and packs a 5000mAh battery with support for 20W fast charging. There are four cameras on the back – a 64MP main sensor, a 2MP depth sensor, a 16MP ultrawide angle camera that doubles as a macro camera, and a ToF. The cameras in front are a 16MP main sensor and an 8MP ultrawide angle camera.
The new color variant will be sold online on the official website, JD.com, and Tmall. It will also be available offline at Lenovo stores.
The Honor 50 series is highly anticipated especially for international fans of the Honor brand. Last week, the manufacturer confirmed that the upcoming smartphone series will be powered by the newly announced Snapdragon 778G processor. Now, it has also confirmed that the phones will have Google Mobile Services.
The info was confirmed by the official Honor Germany Twitter account as a reply to a question asking if the Honor 50 series will have Google Mobile Services. This is definitely good news for Honor fans across the globe. Also, considering the original tweet was about the Honor 50 series, it is safe to say that the phones will be announced in Germany.
Ja, das können wir bestätigen. Aber pssst, soll noch eine Überraschung werden 😉
Last year, Huawei sold Honor to Zhixin New Information Technology Co. Ltd, a consortium formed by agents and dealers of the Honor brand and Shenzhen Smart City Development Group Co. Ltd. Following the transfer of the brand to new owners, Honor has been in talks with American companies it was previously banned from conducting business with when it was still owned by Huawei. Some of those companies include Qualcomm and Google – the former for its chipset, and the latter for its mobile services for devices sold outside China.
With the recent announcements, we now know the talks went well and Honor can now do business with these companies and others that it was previously barred from by the U.S. government.
The Honor 50 series is yet to get a launch date but we are sure the launch will happen soon, rather than later.
The RedMagic 6 series is about to get a new member. Earlier this year, the gaming smartphone brand announced the RedMagic 6 and RedMagic 6 Pro. Now it is set to announce a third device that will be sold as the RedMagic 6R, and ahead of the launch, it has revealed some of its key specs as well as its AnTuTu score.
A Weibo post by the official RedMagic account has confirmed the gaming smartphone will have a Snapdragon 888 processor, the same one inside the other RedMagic 6 phones. The chipset will be combined with LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 storage.
According to a TENAA listing, the phone will have a 6.67-inch OLED display with a 1080p+ screen. It will be available in different configurations with the highest having 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. There are 64MP quad rear cameras, on the back, an in-display fingerprint scanner, and a 4100mAh battery that is expected to support 55W fast charging. Nubia will ship it with Android 11 out of the box.
The RedMagic 6R is scheduled to be announced on May 27 in China but there is no info yet about it getting a global release.
Midea Group, a Fortune Global 500 company and one of the largest producers of robots and appliances has launched the brand new Midea M7 Pro Robot Vacuum Cleaner on 23 May 2021. The new vacuum cleaner will retail for a special launch price of $329.99 only at AliExpress.
Midea M7 Pro Robot Vacuum Cleaner helps you to sweep and mop your floor. The robot vacuum cleaner features a Nidec BLDC advanced Japanese motor, that optimizes the air duct design and gives out a powerful and strong suction of 4000pa. With dual brushes attached alongside the suction pump, the robot gathers all dust and debris in its pathway. Moreover, with a floating roller brush at the bottom and a powerful 4000pa suction pump, the robot gives you 94% cleaning efficiency. The powerful suction pump sucks in dust, debris, and other garbage like hair, M&M beans, food particles, etc easily into the 450ml large capacity dust box, and with a three-layer dust filter, it easily sweeps all the dust without creating secondary air pollution while cleaning.
Midea M7 Pro Robot Vacuum Cleaner comes with a high-frequency vibration mop that not only leaves your floor clean and shiny but also removes stubborn stains from things like tea, coffee, ketchup, etc. Unlike other generic robot cleaners, the M7 Pro achieves 500 vibrations per minute, giving you squeaky clean surfaces and leaving your house clean.
To reduce the powerful vibrating noise, the device comes with a noise reduction sponge, sound insulation module, and special shock absorption design that ensures that even at a high-frequency vibration, the robot does not shake too much and the noise remains as low as 65db. Midea M7 Pro also comes with a dedicated silent mode, which when turned on, reduces the noise level significantly, ensuring zero disturbance to you and your family. This means you can keep the device running even when you are studying or hosting a house party as the robot vacuum cleaner on Silent mode will be almost invisible to you.
The highlight of Midea M7 Pro Robot Vacuum Cleaner is its latest Lazer-Direct-Structuring Navigation Technology. This fifth-generation laser technology uses a powerful 3000Hz frequency to scan the entire house, up to 8 meters and sends the data to the MSmartLife App. It then constructs an intelligent house map, with smart cleaning pathways to give you an optimum cleaning solution.
Using the APP, you can have complete control over the cleaning process. Simply go inside the house layout option and set your own cleaning pathways, virtual walls, banned areas, or set up a special area for focused and deep cleaning. For eg: you can set your study and kitchen for deep cleaning and ban the device from entering your kid’s play area or kitchen garden. All these settings can be easily changed and manipulated using the MSmartLife App.
Another interesting feature of the Midea M7 Pro Robot Vacuum Cleaner is its ability to climb barriers as high as 2.2cm, without damaging itself or the surface area. This means the robot can easily cross thresholds separating different rooms and sections in your house or even go down the small steps from your living room to the balcony. Moreover, with a slim and sleek body design, the robot can easily sweep and mop hard-to-reach surfaces like the bottom of the sofa, bed, coffee table, etc.
With a massive 5200mAh battery, the robot vacuum cleaner gives you 3 hours of cleaning time on one single charge. Moreover after finishing one round of cleaning the robot automatically goes back to the charging station to recharge itself. Even in the midst of cleaning, if the robot detects low battery power, it will self-direct itself to the charging station and recharge before resuming the cleaning process, from the same point that it previously stopped. This means you will never have to worry about the robot running out of battery as it takes care of its own charging needs.
Midea M7 Pro Robot Vacuum Cleaner is available globally including in European countries like Russia, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and Poland starting today. The device which has a retail price of $389.99 will be available at a special discounted price of $329.99 at AliExpressas a part of its launch promotion.

Tech giant Samsung could be lining up another smartphone in its Z series, with the discovery of a trademark filing for the “Z Slide” moniker apparently for a device still under development. The trademark listing from the European Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) indicated that the device bearing the specified name was under Class 9 (mobile communications device, possibly a smartphone).
Before now, Samsung had also trademarked the Z Roll extendable display device from the World Intellectual Property Office (WIPO). While the Z Roll will have an extendable display that expands horizontally, the Z Slide will come with a vertically expanding display, which could mean that the device could be a smartphone.
There has been an increase in research and development of extendable display smartphones by various OEMs, and Samsung has remained at the forefront of research along that line. Just last week, the display arm of Samsung highlighted some of the work-in-progress displays slated for incorporation into Samsung’s future smartphones. These included the S-Foldable panel, which is the likely component for the Z Slide, when operational.
The 7.2-inch S-Foldable display will support multiple fold patterns, which will be a boon for device versatility. The Z Slide could be a rollable version of the Z Flip, which will deploy some innovative technology in the mechanism that would drive the operation of the retractable display. It was earlier reported that a chain-link system could be used to maintain the performance and durability of the flexible display.
As per possible rollout information and price, it is unlikely that the device will be unveiled this year, possibly sometime in 2022. Samsung is set to launch a couple of foldable devices within the third quarter of 2021. It is after these devices have been released that we’ll look forward to the launch of the Z Roll or Z Slide.
Chinese smartphone company Coolpad was previously in partnership with LeEco but since the demise of the LeEco brand, it has continued to chart a course for itself in the smartphone industry. The Coolpad brand has a fairly decent presence in China, India, and a host of other markets. It is now set to release a new smartphone that will help it grab a share of the pie in terms of smartphone market shares. The device dubbed Coolpad COOL 20 recently featured in some promotional teaser posters shared by the company.
The poster shows that the model will be launched in China on May 25. Not many details of the smartphone are revealed but it is believed to be the successor of the Coolpad COOL 10 which was released in June 2020. The promotional posts show the COOL 20 will have a glass body and will be available in white and black color options.
The teaser poster also showed that the device will feature a dual-camera setup consisting of a 48MP main shooter. The camera has the ArcSoft badge printed on the module which suggests it is co-engineered with ArcSoft, a provider of imaging solutions to partners in computers, digital cameras, and others. The device is also touted to come with premium audio quality. There is no fingerprint reader at the back which suggests it won’t have one. The Cool 10 from last year is a budget smartphone and this may not be different.
The internal specifications were not revealed but we expect the device to do better than the budget COOL 10 which features a 6.57-inch IPS LCD screen with a waterdrop notch at the top. The COOL 10 is powered by a MediaTek Helio P30 chipset paired with 6GB RAM and 128GB of expandable internal storage. It equally packs a 4900mAh battery with fast charging via a USB-C port.
