Moto G20 will launch as Lenovo K13 Note in some markets

Lenovo has never been a big player in the smartphone category. But the company used to sell some good budget smartphones that competed with Xiaomi’s Redmi lineup. Right now, the world’s largest PC maker’s only in-house developed phones are the Lenovo Legion Phone Duel series. Whereas, the other affordable handsets are merely rebranded Motorola phones. According to a new leak, the firm will be soon releasing another such rebadged device.

Lenovo K13 Note Render Leak 01

Popular leakster Sudhanshu Ambhore has teamed up with 91Mobiles to bring us information about the upcoming Lenovo K13 Note. As per him, this handset will be nothing but a rebadged Motorola Moto G20. 

Hence, it will have exact same set of specifications and design. He has even shared renders of this phone in two colors (Pink, Blue).

The only differences between the Lenovo K13 Note and the Moto G20 will be the branding on the back panel and no 128GB variant for the former. The K13 Note will include a vertically placed ‘Lenovo’ logo at the bottom left corner and will lack the iconic ‘Motorola Batwing’ on the rear-mounted fingerprint sensor. Additionally, it’s not sure whether the Note will feature NFC, which is market-dependent on the Moto.

That said, the other features are said to be common on both. Therefore, the Lenovo K13 Note will come with a 6.5-inch HD+ (1600 x 720 pixels) LCD panel with a 90Hz refresh rate and a dewdrop notch, UNISOC T700 SoC, 4GB RAM, 64GB internal storage, 48MP (wide) + 8MP (ultra-wide) + 2MP (macro) + 2MP (depth) quad-camera setup, and a 13MP selfie camera.

The remaining specs of this device will include a MicroSD card slot, 3.5mm headphone jack, USB Type-C port, IP53 rating, dedicated Google Assistant key, dual-SIM, 4G, dual-band WiFi, Bluetooth 5.0, GNSS, accelerometer, ambient light sensor, gyroscope, proximity sensor, Android 11, 5,000mAh battery, and 10W charging.

Unfortunately, the tipster doesn’t have info on when and in which markets the Lenovo K13 Note will be launched.

TENAA says vivo Y76s will be a 5G smartphone

Recently, a vivo smartphone called vivo Y76s was spotted on the 3C certification bureau, IMEI database, and CEIR database. One of these listings revealed the phone’s 18W charging support. Whereas, another said the handset to be limited to 4G. But now, this device’s TENAA certification confirms it to be a 5G smartphone.

Vivo Logo

According to TENAA, the upcoming vivo Y76s with model number V2111A will be a 5G handset. Hence, it should launch as ‘vivo Y76s 5G’.

As per the listing, the phone will feature a 6.58-inch display and a 4,910mAh battery (rated capacity). The device will come with dual-SIM and Android 11. However, it’s not known whether it will run Funtouch OS 11 or OriginOS.

Lastly, the listing says that the handset will measure 163.95 x 75.30 x 8.50mm in dimensions.

Usually, TENAA listings include the entire specs as well as images of smartphones. But at times, they get added gradually. Hence, the listing of vivo Y76s 5G does not have much information at the moment.

Anyway, we expect to learn more about this phone before its official announcement sometime in the near future. But it is worth noting that some vivo budget smartphones get a silent release in China. Hence, there’s a chance that vivo Y76s 5G may launch in a similar manner.

Anyway, the listings say that NTH-AN00 (possible HONOR 50) will ship with an HW-110600C00 66W charger. This is the same power adapter that comes bundled with the HONOR V40 series. In other words, the HONOR 50 will support 66W fast charging.

HONOR 50 Pro NTH-AN00 NRA-AN00 3C Certification

On the other hand, NRA-AN00 (possible HONOR 50 Pro) will come with an all-new HN-200500C00 100W charger. Hence, the HONOR 50 Pro could be the first smartphone from the brand to support 100W fast charging. 

As per another tipster, the 100W charging on the HONOR 50 Pro could be based on Qualcomm Quick Charge 5. However, there’s no concrete proof for this claim.

That said, according to previous reports, the HONOR 50 series will sport two circular modules for rear cameras. The vanilla HONOR 50 is expected to feature a MediaTek Dimensity 1200 SoC, whereas the HONOR 50 Pro is said to powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon SoC.
