The announcement was made on Twitter by Madhav Sheth, the CEO of Realme India and Realme Europe. The tweet revealed that the event, which was also going to be for the launch of its new AIoT products in the country, has now been postponed. The top executive also advised its fans to follow all COVID-19 protocols in the country.
Due to the challenging times, we have decided to postpone the upcoming launch of our products & anniversary celebrations. Till then we would urge you to follow the necessary safety protocols by maintaining social distance, wearing masks & staying indoors.#StayHomeStaySafehttps://t.co/iuOn03hnp4
A quoted tweet by the official Realme India account also shared a similar message.
India has been hit by a new wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. According to a BBC report, the country has recorded at least 300,000 new infections every day since last week. The total recorded infections are put at 17.9 million while recorded deaths are said to be about 200,000.
A number of Chinese phone manufacturers including Xiaomi, OPPO, and Vivo have all made donations towards the purchase of oxygen concentrators and breathing machines for various hospitals across the country. Realme too has announced that it will share 100,000 masks free of charge at its smart stores, experience stores, and service centers in Agra, Ahmedabad, and Lucknow.
Despite the issues with the supply of chipsets caused by the pandemic, several Chinese flagships hitten the market this year. Even ZTE came up with a new flagship series: the most advanced model of its latest lineup is the ZTE Axon 30 Ultra. It is not one of the most expensive flagships out there, but despite that, it still provides amazing specifications and top-notch cameras. In this comparison, we will help you to understand whether or not it delivers a value for money as high as the Realme GT 5G and the Xiaomi Mi 11X Pro which are the latest Realme and Xiaomi flagships powered by the Snapdragon 888 mobile platform.

Design
ZTE Axon 30 Ultra 5G is definitely the handset with the most attractive design: the reason is the front panel. It is the only one to come with a curved edge-to-edge display; further, it has a higher screen-to-body ratio thanks to narrower bezels. Right after, we got the amazing leather color variant of the Realme GT 5G which features a very original design and is the most compact device of the trio. But you should not underestimate the Xiaomi Mi 11X Pro which comes with the thinnest body.
Display
The best display of this comparison belongs to the ZTE Axon 30 Ultra. It is a 6.67-inch panel with the AMOLED technology, one billion colors, the HDR10+ certification, a Full HD+ resolution and a refresh rate of 144 Hz. With the Xiaomi Mi 11X Pro you get a HDR10+ display too, but it does not show one billion colors and the refresh rate is lower: just 120 Hz. Further, unlike its rivals, it does not offer an in-display fingerprint reader (the biometric sensor is side-mounted). The Realme GT 5G has a 120 Hz AMOLED panel as well.
Hardware/Software
ZTE Axon 30 Ultra, Realme GT 5G and Xiaomi Mi 11X Pro are all powered by the awesome Snapdragon 888 mobile platform, actually the best chipset released by Qualcomm. The SoC is paired with LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 internal storage in each case, but you can get something more with the ZTE Axon 30 Ultra. The latest ZTE flagship offers up to 16 GB of RAM and up to 1 TB of internal storage: the best memory configuration you can get on a phone if we exclude the latest Asus ROG Phone Ultimate. All the phones are based on Android 11.
Camera
The ZTE Axon 30 Ultra wins the camera comparison thanks to a stunning camera setup which can compete with the best camera phones out there. It has a quad camera setup composed of three 64 MP sensors and an 8 MP periscope camera with 5x optical zoom. You also get an ultrawide sensor, laser autofocus and dual OIS. The silver medal goes to the Xiaomi Mi 11X Pro sporting a 108 MP main camera which supports 8K video recording.
Battery
These three phones come with similar battery capacities and there should be only marginal differences when it comes to the battery life. Note that the Xiaomi Mi 11X Pro has slower charging speeds.
ZTE Axon 30 Ultra 5G vs Realme GT 5G vs Xiaomi Mi 11X Pro: Price
ZTE Axon 30 Ultra starts from about €600/$728 (China), Xiaomi Mi 11X Pro is priced €442/$536, and Realme GT costs €395/$480 in its base variant. On the paper, the winner of the comparison is the ZTE Axon 30 Ultra due to its great display and better cameras, but Xiaomi Mi 11X Pro and Realme GT offer a higher value for money thanks to their affordable prices.

Earlier this week we reported that the next-generation Nubia Z series flagship smartphone will soon arrive according to Ni Fei, a top executive and head of mobile devices at ZTE. Now an alleged render of the phone which is called the Nubia Z30 (name yet to be confirmed) has been posted online.
Since this is not an official render, we advise our readers to take it with a pinch of salt as there is a possibility the original device may not look like this. The render was posted on Weibo earlier today and it shows that the Nubia Z30 will adopt a design very different from that of its predecessor.
An alleged render of the Nubia Z30
As seen in the image, the Nubia Z30 is shown to have a curved display. The back is also curved at the sides but surprisingly, the side view doesn’t seem to show that the device is as curved as the front and rear view portrays.
The most noticeable thing is the lack of a hole in the screen for the front-facing camera. Since there is no hole or notch, there is a chance that the phone has either a pop-up camera or an under-display camera. And since this is a ZTE phone, it is most likely the latter.
On the back is a four-camera array in a rectangular housing. There is an inscription that says that the phone has a 100x hybrid zoom mode like the Galaxy S21 Ultra. This means one of the cameras is a periscope telephoto camera.
The Nubia Z30 will have a Snapdragon 888 processor as revealed in a Weibo post by Ni Fei a while back. However, we do not know if there will be only one model or if there will be lite, pro, and ultra versions too.

Last week, Samsung started rolling out the Android 11-based One UI Core 3.1 update for the Galaxy A01. A few days later, the company is now seeding this very same update for the Galaxy M01, which is a rebranded Galaxy A01. Additionally, the Android 11 update is also being rolled out for the Galaxy A41 as One UI 3.1.
The Samsung Galaxy M01 Android 11 (One UI Core 3.1) update arrives with firmware version M015GXXU3BUD9. Apart from bringing new features and UI, the latest system update for this entry-level smartphone also bumps up the security patch level to April 2021.
On the other hand, the Android 11 (One UI 3.1) update for the Samsung Galaxy A41 is currently live in Russia with firmware version A415FXXU1CUD4. It also comes with April 2021 security patches.
Users of these two smartphones can head over to Settings > Software update > Download and install to check whether their unit has received the update.
Anyway, like any other software update, this OTA update is also being pushed in batches across different regions. Therefore, it may take some time to hit every unit in the market.
Lastly, it is worth noting that Android 11 is the first-ever major software update for these two phones. However, we are not sure if the cheaper Galaxy M01 will receive Android 12 in the future.
Advanced Micro Devices Inc (AMD) has raised its annual revenue forecast earlier this week. This arrives as the company bets that its chips used in data centers and consumers’ PCs as the chief executive of the firm is also confident about the supply chain’s current situation.
According to a Reutersreport, the chip designer’s shared had risen recently by about 4 percent in extended trading after it also recorded results that were better than expected for the first quarter of this year. Furthermore, AMD CEO Lisa Su has “good visibility” and that the company is confident to secure additional chips from its manufacturing partners. Su added that “The entire semiconductor supply chain is very, very tight. That being said, we’ve been working very closely with our supply chain partners. We have seen improvements that have led to the improved full year guide.”
For those unaware, Team Red has recently been stealing market share from Intel over processors, meanwhile, the company is also seeing a surge in demand for its graphcis cards as well for gamers. AMD now believes that their revenue will rise by 50 percent from a year prior. This means that the company could generate about 14.64 billion US Dollars, which marks a rise from the previously forecast that projected a 39 percent jump.
Lisa Su stated that “We feel very good about our progress, particularly in notebooks. We’re seeing traction in the premium ultra thin, gaming and commercial.” The brand is is expecting its computing and graphics business, which also includes graphics and central processing chips for personal computers rose by 46 percent to 2.10 billion US Dollars while its enterprise business that targets data centers chips posted a jump in sales as well, reaching 1.35 billion US Dollars.
Xiaomi has been rolling out MIUI 12.5 stable update to a number of devices for the past few days. The latest smartphone to get this update is 2019’s Mi CC9 Meitu Edition. This handset is a customized version of the regular Mi CC9.
Xiaomi Mi CC9 Meitu Edition
Back in 2019, Xiaomi introduced the China-exclusive Mi CC9 series. The lineup includes three devices and a limited edition model called Mi CC9 Meitu Edition. The latter phone is the latest Xiaomi group smartphone to receive the MIUI 12.5 update.
The Mi CC9 Meitu Edition MIUI 12.5 update is currently in the ‘Stable Beta’ phase with build number V12.5.1.0.RFECNXM. It also brings Android 11 to this handset.
For those unaware, MIUI builds termed as ‘Stable Beta’ are only released for a select few users. The status of these builds is changed to ‘Stable’ and gradually rolled out to all users if the early adopters don’t face any major issues.
That said, since the regular Mi CC9 has identical hardware, it should also receive the MIUI 12.5 update in the coming days. Once that device gets it, we can expect the Mi 9 Lite to receive the MIUI 12.5 update as it is a rebranded Mi CC9 for global markets.
Earlier this week, the Australian competition watchdog might soon have Apple and Google address their dominating market power with their app stores, namely iOS App Store and the Play Store.
According to a Reutersreport, these major tech giants might have regulations if they do not make changes regarding this matter. For those unaware, both Apple and Google have been facing pressure from various governments across the globe due to their major market dominance. Both firms charge developers and other firms a commission on any in app purchases made through their respective application platforms. Thus, this might lead to the Australian government passing regulations against both companies.
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) stated that app developers should be allowed to provide customers with an alternative method of payments. Furthermore, the data collected from Google and Apple should be kept separate from their operations. Similarly, the ACCC even urged tech giants to allow consumers to change or remove pre installed or even default apps.
As per ACCC Chair Rod Sims, “We have identified a number of areas where action is required and have put forward potential measures to address areas of particular concern. There is a window of opportunity for Apple and Google themselves to take steps to improve outcomes for app developers and consumers.” Sims further added that the ACCC would look at changes of laws in other countries and other proposals but “regulation may be required if Apple and Google fail to take steps to address the concerns identified.”
OPPO has been rolling out ColorOS 11 (Android 11) builds to eligible devices since September 2020. The company has been following the monthly timeline it releases at the start of each month. Going by this month’s schedule, it has now opened registrations for OPPO A53 Android 11 beta update.
OPPO A53
According to ColorOS 11 April 2021 update plan, OPPO is supposed to open beta registrations for five devices. Following the schedule, the registration went live for the first four phones on and before time in some instances. Similarly, the registrations are now live for the fifth and final handset – OPPO A53 as well.
The OPPO A53 ColorOS 11 Beta program is currently limited to India and Indonesia only. Interested users in these two regions should be on firmware version A.69/A.77 to register themselves for the initiative.
To enroll in the program, users need to navigate to Settings > Software Update > Gear Icon > Apply for Beta Version > Update Beta Version and follow the on-screen instructions. According to the official announcement post on ColorOS Community, the registrations will run from April 27 to May 11 for limited seats.
The OPPO A53 debuted with ColorOS 7.2 based on Android 11. Hence, ColorOS 11 (Android 11) is the smartphone’s first major update. Going by OPPO’s software update track record, it could receive Android 12 in the future.
While gaming smartphones have grown in popularity in recent times as they offer great performance in a handset, these devices still suffer from a few common issues. This includes bulkiness, pricing, weight, and other similar problems. But, a Nubia executive has hinted that an upcoming gaming smartphone from the brand might be thinner than 8.3mm.
Recently, Lu Weibing, President of Xiaomi Group, announced that the Redmi K40 Game Enhanced Edition was the thinnest ever gaming smartphone. This devices measures just 8.3mm in thickness, but Ni Fei, Co Founder of Nubia, believes that this is not the thinnest gaming smartphone. At the moment, the Chinese brand does not offer any thin and light gaming smartphone. In other words, the senior official might be hinting at an upcoming gaming phone that will be thinner than 8.3mm.
This statement could also imply that the company is working on making thinner and lighter smartphones that are similar to the latest entry of the Redmi K40 series. Furthermore, rumors have recently surfaced that the smartphone maker is working on a new variant within its latest Red Magic 6 series of gaming handsets. This device is expected to feature Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 888 SoC along with a large 4,200mAh battery pack, as per a MyDriversreport.
Meaning, this new variant might be a thin and light gaming smartphone from Nubia. Unfortunately, finer details regarding this device are currently unknown but it is reumored to launch soon. So stay tuned for more updates as additional reports or leaks would likely surface sometime in the near future.
Popular fitness band and smartwatch manufacturer Garmin has introduced yet another innovative smartwatch for the Indian market. The watch is dubbed Garmin Approach S12 and it is targeted at golfers, featuring severe features such as GPS to help them improve their swing and their game. The watch is built to accurately curate data for each swing.

For battery life, the smartwatch is touted to present with up to 30 hours of battery on a single charge in GPS mode. That means when the GPS is not in use, the battery life will run into days if not weeks.
As for the price, the Garmin Approach S12 smartwatch adopts an Rs. 20,990 ($282) price tag. The smartwatch will be available in India via Amazon.in, synergizer.co.in, Tata Cliq, and Flipkart.

Last month, Lenovo-owned Motorola had launched the Moto G50 budget 5G smartphone in the European market. Now, the same smartphone has been launched in China, where it comes in a single variant that packs 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage.
It is priced at 1,499 yuan which roughly converts to $231. The device can be purchased through Lenovo‘s official website, JD.com, and Tmall.com.
The Moto G50 smartphone features a 6.5-inch Max Vision HD+ display with a waterdrop notch. This display has a resolution of 1600×720 pixels, 90Hz refresh rate, 269 PPI, 20:9 aspect ratio, and 85 percent screen-body ratio.
Under the hood, the device has Qualcomm Snapdragon 480 5G chipset. The chipset is paired with 8GB RAM and 128GB internal storage. Apart from this, there’s also a microSD card slot allowing users to further expand the storage up to 1TB.
In the camera department, there’s a triple-camera setup on the back with a 48-megapixel f/1.7 main lens, a 5-megapixel f/2.4 macro lens, and a 2-megapixel f/2.4 depth sensor. Upfront, it comes with a 13-megapixel f/2.2 selfie shooter. Camera features on the device include HDR, Timer, Active photos, Pro mode, Portrait mode, Timelapse video, Hyperlapse video, and more.
Other features include a rear fingerprint sensor, face unlocking, a 3.5mm audio jack, USB Type-C port, Wi-Fi 5GHz, Bluetooth 5.0, NFC, GNSS (GPS, A-GPS, GLONASS, Galileo), and 4G LTE (Hybrid SIM slot).
The phone runs the latest Android 11 operating system out-of-the-box with an almost stock-like user interface. The device is powered by a 5,000mAh battery with 15W charging support but it comes with a 10W charger in the box.
Huawei has recently started rolling out OTA updates that converted the UI on several of its newer devices from EMUI to HarmonyOS. Now, a few leaksters have claimed that they have received the full upgrade to the proprietary operating system.
According to a NotebookCheckreport, known Weibo tipsters including Changan Digital King and Digital Chat Station have claimed that they either heard of users receiving the major update of the HarmonyOS (AKA HongMengOS in China) or have received the new software themselves on their own devices. Similarly, a YouTube Channel CREATOR STUDIO has even posted a new video, which basically offers a walkthrough of what appears to be the new user interface on the Mate X2.
Looking at this video, the YouTuber claims that the foldable smartphone is running “HarmonyOS 2.0.0 Developer Beta 3.” Furthermore, the leaksters have also claimed that the update has been released to the end users as well. For those unaware, HarmonyOS is the Chinese tech giant’s in house OS that it claims was built from scratch from the ground up. Although, the numerous leaks that have surfaced recently reveal that its multiple homescreens, gesture based navigation, app icons and other interfaces resemble Android.
Keep in mind that this is still an unconfirmed report at the moment, so take it with a pinch of salt. Unfortunately, we will have to wait for more information to surface before providing any concrete statements as well. It is possible that the company is rolling out the new update in China in a staggered manner, so we can expect more devices to soon be included. Thus, stay tuned for more updates.
Chinese handset maker realme has been releasing Android 11-based realme UI 2.0 builds for eligible devices since September 2020. However, the brand has only updated a handful of phones to the stable version worldwide. Now, months later, the company’s popular realme 6 Pro and realme 7 Pro have started receiving the Android 11 stable update.
realme 6 Pro (left) and realme 7 Pro (right)
Both the realme 6 Pro and the realme 7 Pro debuted with realme UI based on Android 10. Though they were launched months apart from each other, they are getting the stable Android 11-based realme UI 2.0 update at the same time.
The latest system update for these phones arrives with the following firmware versions.
In order to receive the new update, users need to be on firmware version RMX2061_11.A.49 (realme 6 Pro) and RMX2170PU_11.A.37 (realme 7 Pro).
Anyway, like any other major system update, this one is also being rolled out in stages. Therefore, it may take some time to reach every unit. Also, it is worth noting that this update has been also released for users running the Open Beta build.
That said, users who don’t like the realme UI 2.0 update or facing any issues can roll back to Android 10 (realme UI). But that process will wipe the internal storage.
Like most electric devices, there are few options of smart wearable that really cares female users with fine design and exclusive features beyond tech things. But recently a latest HUAWEI smart watch caught my eyes, the HUAWEI Watch Fit Elegant Edition. As a female user, it’s my pleasure to give you a picture how the watch performs from a female perspective, after seeing most review works were done by non-female peers.
Design
The very first good detail of the Watch Fit is the rectangular 2.5D curved display. And it truly means that the dial is curved with a beautiful arc to fit the surface of my wrist, which smartly makes it not to bump up too much over your wrist. Personally, a big display is really not necessary as it is unavoidable to have a bigger size of dial. It generally looks strange when those full-size wearables occur to my thin wrist. Wearing the Watch Fit (1.64-inch display) I didn’t have this concern. The Watch Fit (size: 46mm×30mm×10.7mm; weight: 27g) is lighter and thinner than most full-function smartwatches that I’ve ever tried.
The included off-white strap with the polished golden watch frame looks pretty stylish for female users. And more importantly, it didn’t make me spend much time again thinking about how to match my clothes with a smart wearable. Casual, formal or sports dress with this watch is very suitable, and it wouldn’t be abrupt or even too distracting.
Water-proofness
Another feature that saved my life is the so called 5ATM water-proofness. The official explanation says the watch could be used for shallow-water activities like swimming. For me, it’s a greatly release that I didn’t need to take down the watch as I’m cooking at home, where I relied much on the watch features like timer and stopwatch. The dial didn’t leave a little water stain after drenching.
Sports & Health tracking
At the beginning, I thought like the other watches, it would provide the similar sports modes with good sport data collection and display. However, it offers more than what I expected. Besides the 96 workout modes with reliable sport tracking, it can work like a private trainer by offering 12 kinds of animated fitness courses (Exercise at Work, Neck & shoulder Relaxation, Burn Fat Fast, etc.) these animated courses includes 44 standard movement demonstrations which perfectly guides your workout without any equipment.
And the other lasted wearable fitness trackers like the build-in GPS sensor, all-time heartrate monitoring and Blood oxygen saturation monitoring are all included in the Watch Fit. Furthermore, it’s so warm that the watch features a Period-cycle tracking specially for female users. With this feature on, the watch kept tracking the cycle and estimated ovulation date for me, and sent me reminders to let me know the special days coming. I’ve used several phone APPs that have the similar functions, but a wearable product is definitely more convenient to keep me better informed.
Battery
By far I’m satisfied with its battery standby. With almost all important functions on, the watch has lasted for one week without charging. HUAWEI officially claimed it can last for 10 days and can collect back the power for a whole day with only a 5-minute fast charge. The official claim sounds good but I didn’t really care much about it since I only required it to give me a continuous use for the whole week.
Conclusion
I used to complain with my friends about why most tech-thing producers do not seriously think about forms and functions of their products from the perspective of women. But now it seems someone is reviewing their products seriously. The HUAWEI Watch Fit is likely to be the first few products thinking about it seriously.
The new technology is not necessary to come with some kinds of ‘technological sense’, but more importantly, when transforming it into products for all human uses, I think it should be more humane and warmer. Fortunately, at least on the Watch Fit, I saw their efforts.
