Earlier this week, Motorola released a teaser, which revealed that it will be launching two G-series smartphones in India. While the rumor mill speculated that these devices could be the Moto G60 and Moto G40 Fusion that have appeared in the recent report, there was no official confirmation from the brand. A fresh tweet released by Motorola India has only confirmed these monikers but also revealed their design.
As can be seen in the below poster, the Moto G60 has a punch-hole display. The display design of the Moto G40 Fusion is not clearly visible. There is a possibility that it could be equipped with a waterdrop notch.
The right edge of Moto G60 and G40 Fusion features a dedicated button for launching Google Assistant, a volume rocker, and a power key. The back panel of both phones features a triple camera system and a fingerprint scanner, which is integrated with the batwing logo. The new G-series phones will be available for purchase exclusively through Flipkart. The Lenovo-owned firm is yet to confirm the launch date of the Moto G60 and Moto G40 Fusion smartphones.
Moto G60 and Moto G40 Fusion
Reports have revealed that the Moto G60 will have a 32-megapixel front camera and a 108-megaipxel (Samsung HM2 lens) + 8-megpaixel + 2-megapixel triple camera system. On the other side, the Moto G40 Fusion will have a 16-megapixel selfie camera and a 64-megapixel + 8-megapixel + 2-megapixel triple camera setup.
The Moto G60 and G40 Fusion phones are expected to arrive with common specs like a 6.78-inch FHD+ display with a 120Hz refresh rate support, a 6,000mAh battery with fast charging support, and Snapdragon 732G chipset. The G60 may come with 6 GB of RAM, whereas the G40 Fusion may have 4 GB of RAM. Both models may offer up to 128 GB of storage.
Huawei, which is facing lots of issues in the telecom and smartphone business, isn’t backing down. Instead, the company is now focusing on expanding its product lineup in other categories to reestablish itself.
Recently, it was revealed through a Chinese leaker (via ITHome) that Huawei is expected to launch a few products in May this year, including new semi in-ear earphones named FreeBuds 4, a new computing device, and a new children’s watch.
The company is also slated to launch the Huawei P50 series of flagship smartphones as well as the Huawei MatePad Pro 2. But it is rumored that the launch of these two products has been postponed and now they will be unveiled in June this year.
However, it is being said that both the devices won’t get launched at the same time. Huawei will first launch the P50 series of flagship smartphones and then the MatePad Pro 2 will be launched, which is expected to go on sale in September. Both of them will come running the company’s own HarmonyOS aka HongMong OS.
On the contrary, another report claims that the Huawei MatePad Pro 2 could get launched on April 20th later this month. This is the same day when Apple has scheduled its launch event where the new iPad Pro models are expected to debut.
The company’s expansion isn’t limited to hardware. Wang Chenglu, President of Huawei’s Consumer Business Software Department and Director of AI Department had revealed that the HarmonyOS will be available to the public in June and will also start rolling out the software to several smartphones. The company is aiming to have 300 million devices running the new HarmonyOS.
As for the launch in May, it is said that the FreeBuds 4 will be offered in three color options — White, Silver, and Red. In the PC department, the company is expected to launch transformative PC products. To know what exactly is up the company’s sleeves, we will have to wait for the launch event next month.

Earlier this week, a popular tipster Digital Chat Station from China claimed that Redmi is planning to launch three new phones in the home market. He mentioned that there will be two 4G phones powered by the Snapdragon SoC and a 5G model featuring a MediaTek chip. Fresh tweets from Xiaomiui Twitter handle have revealed some key information about these three smartphones.
Xiaomiui claims that Redmi will be releasing rebranded versions of the Redmi Note 10 and Redmi Note 10 5G. These phones are codenamed Rainbow and Camellia, respectively. The third device is said to be codenamed, Iris.

Its 4 GB RAM + 128 GB storage variant is likely to be priced at 999 Yuan (~$153) in China.
The ASUS ZenFone 8 series of smartphones could be launching soon. The reason behind is that the ZenFone 8 Mini which was recently spotted at the TÜV SÜD certification has now appeared at the Geekbench benchmarking site (via). It appears that the Taiwanese tech giant could be internally testing the phone’s performance before making it official.
Past reports have revealed that the ASUS ZenFone 8 Mini’s model number is ASUS_I006D / ASUS_ZS590KS. On Geekbench 5, the handset has appeared with Snapdragon 888 mobile platform. In the listing, the SoC is mentioned with ‘lahaina’ and a 1.80GHz base frequency. The smartphone scored 1121 and 3662 in the single-core and multi-core tests of Geekbench, respectively.
Previous reports have revealed that the ZenFone 8 Mini will be sporting a 5.9-inch FHD+ OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate support. The camera setup of the phone will include a 64-megapixel Sony IMX686 camera and a new Sony IMX663 lens. It is unclear whether the device features dual lenses in its camera setup.
The ZenFone 8 Mini could be featuring a Cirrus CS3SL45 amplifier. While its battery size is not known yet, its TÜV SÜD certification revealed that it may carry support for 30W fast charging. The other details of the phone are yet to be revealed. Since it is packed with a 5.9-inch screen, the handset is likely to debut as the most compact flagship phone with an SD888 chip.
In related news, the ASUS ROG Phone 5 gaming phone is now up for pre-order through Flipkart in India. Its variants such as 8 GB RAM + 128 GB storage and 12 GB RAM + 256 GB storage are listed for Rs 49,999 (~$669) and Rs 57,999 (~$776), respectively.
Recent reports claimed that Samsung is gearing up to launch the Galaxy M42 5G as its first M-series smartphone with 5G support. A landing page of the phone has finally appeared on Amazon India. The listing revealed that the Galaxy M42 5G will be announced at 12 PM (local time) on April 28.
As it can be seen, the Galaxy M42 5G has a teardrop notch display and its rear shell has a squarish quad-camera module.

The AltZLife will let users to seamlessly switch between normal and private mode on the device by double-pressing the power button.
Samsung is yet to confirm the other features of the Galaxy M42 5G. It is likely that the company may continue to update the microsite on Amazon India with new features of the M42 5G. Rumors surrounding the smartphone have claimed that it could be a rebranded version of the Galaxy A42 5G phone, which was announced last year. However, there is a possibility that there could be some difference between the M42 5G and A42 5G smartphones.
The Galaxy A42 5G has a 6.6-inch S-AMOLED display that offers an HD+ resolution and a 20:9 aspect ratio. It runs on One UI 3.1 based Android 11 OS.

A Weibo post by the Lenovo Xiaoxin account has revealed that the new devices will be announced on April 22. Lenovo also shared a poster that shows all of the devices that will be announced on the day.
The lineup includes the Xiaoxin Air 15 2021 and it is shown in the image as a notebook computer with really slim side bezels.

For the YOGA lineup, there is the YOGA 5G whose name hints at it having a built-in 5G modem. The image shows it is a 2-in-1 but with a non-detachable keyboard. There is also the YOGA Duet 2021 which is also a 2-in-1 but with a detachable keyboard. Last but not least is a YOGA GaN charger that will be available in black and white.
Surprisingly, the Xiaoxin Pad Plus tablet isn’t among the devices which means it won’t be launching on that day.
At the Axon 30 series launch today, ZTE also announced a new variant of its smartwatch, the ZTE Watch GT. It also announced some merchandise to celebrate the Axon 30 series.
The new variant of the ZTE Watch GT has a leather strap with a silver frame, unlike the standard version that has silicone straps. ZTE is charging ¥699 (~$107) for this version. The variants with the silicone strap sell for ¥599 (~$92). There is no info about availability. We checked the official website and the official store on JD.com but did not find this variant.
To celebrate the launch of the Axon 30 series, ZTE also announced some merchandise. The items which include a throw pillow, backpack, t-shirt, and hoodie all have the Chinese word for “Thirty” written in a colorful font. Unfortunately, the manufacturer didn’t reveal the price tag and details about the availability of these items.
Transsion brand TECNO is expected to launch TECNO CAMON 17 (CG6j) sometime in the near future. Similarly, we have spotted two more upcoming TECNO phones on FCC. Let us take a look at them one by one.
TECNO KF6 / TECNO KF6K
The TECNO K56 and KF6K are expected to be the same phone going by their label sketch on FCC. This smartphone will house a vertically-aligned camera setup on the back along with a capacitive fingerprint sensor.
TECNO KF6 / KF6K | Source: FCC
The power and volume keys on this headset will be located on the right side. Whereas, its left side will include the SIM card slot.
According to the certification, the TECNO KF6 / K56K will be a budget smartphone with 4G connectivity. It will ship with a TECNO U100TSA power adapter. That means the device will only support 10W charging.
Unfortunately, we are not aware of this handset’s marketing name as well as other specs.
TECNO AC8
The TECNO AC8 will be a PHANTOM series smartphone as per the label sketch on FCC. The phone’s back will have the PHANTOM branding and a vertically-aligned triple camera setup at the center.
TECNO AC8 | Source: FCC
Just like the device above, this one will also sport the power and volume keys on the right side. Also, it will be a 4G handset backed by a 4,600mAh (typical) battery with support for 33W fast charging. The TECNO U330TSA 33W fast charger will be included in the box.
The last TECNO PHANTOM series smartphone was TECNO PHANTOM 9. It was launched in July 2019. Hence, this phone could go official as TECNO PHANTOM 10.
However, as per rumors, the TECNO AC8 may launch as TECNO PHANTOM X.
The entry-level segment offers a lot of choices in 2021. If you are an average user and you do not need very high performance, you can get a pretty decent user experience even with low-end handsets. Among the most performing devices in the lowest price range there are Realme C25 and Xiaomi Redmi 9 Prime. Two all-rounders with very good spec sheets offered at very affordable prices. But which one is the best and suits your needs the most? If you have this question, you should find the answer after reading this specs comparison between two of the best entry-level phones in the smartphone market.
The Realme C25 and the Redmi 9 Prime do not come with a premium design, just like all the other entry-level phones. They have a body made of polycarbonate, but the Xiaomi Redmi 9 Prime has a water-repellent coating which is very nice if you want to use the phone in the rain. Both the phones come with a waterdrop notch instead of those modern punch-hole displays, and both offer a rear-mounted fingerprint reader for authentication. The Redmi 9 Prime is slightly more comfortable for one-handed use and to keep in a pocket: it is thinner and lighter thanks to its smaller battery.
Display
The Xiaomi Redmi 9 Prime has a superior display for one single reason: the Full HD+ resolution. With a resolution of 1080 x 2340 pixels, it offers a higher level of definition, the same as most of the midrange phones out there. The Realme C25, instead, comes with a below-average HD+ resolution (720p). Both are IPS panels with similar levels of brightness: the Realme C25 has slightly higher brightness, but the resolution is definitely a more important thing, so the Redmi 9 Prime wins the display comparison.
Specs & Software
If you need the most advanced hardware setup, you should choose the Xiaomi Redmi 9 Prime. It has a more powerful Helio G80, while the Realme C25 is powered by the Helio G70 chipset. However, the difference in performance is just marginal: the Helio G70 is not a disappointing chipset compared to the G80. The memory configurations are the same: 4 GB of RAM and 64 or 128 GB of native storage depending on the chosen variant. The Redmi 9 Prime runs Android 10 out of the box, while the Realme C25 comes with Android 11. So, you will most likely get longer software support and a more advanced software department with the Realme C25.
Camera
The camera setup of the Realme C25 changes depending on the market. In the international market, the handset comes with a triple camera including a 48 MP main sensor which is definitely better than the 13 MP quad camera found on the Redmi 9 Prime. But the Indian version of the phone has an inferior 13 MP triple camera. If we consider the Indian version, then Redmi 9 Prime is a better camera phone because it adds an 8 MP ultrawide sensor. But if we talk about the international version, Realme C25 is better thanks to its great 48 MP main camera.
The Realme C25 has a bigger battery: with a capacity of 6000 mAh, it is able to provide stunning battery life and it even supports wireless charging. The Redmi 9 Prime lacks wireless charging support and comes with a battery capacity of 5020 mAh. Further, the higher resolution of the display makes the energy consumption higher. The Realme C25 is one of the best battery phones of the year, but Redmi 9 Prime is still great when it comes to battery life.
Price
The starting price of the Realme C25 is about €140/$168, while the Xiaomi Redmi 9 Prime starts from €106/$127 in the Indian market. If we exclude the display resolution, overall, the Realme C25 is a more convincing handset. But if you care about the resolution, you’d better go for the Redmi 9 Prime which also offers a slightly better chipset, while packing a smaller but still good battery.
Chinese phone maker Xiaomi unveiled the Mi 11 Ultra smartphone and one of the features of the flagship is its IP68 water-resistant build. That feature has now been put to test as the phone was unboxed underwater by a diver and this was shared by Xiaomi on Weibo.
The underwater unboxing of the device is a clear reflection of the success accomplished by the tech giant in producing IP68-rated phones capable of operating even in extreme conditions like underwater. Both the Mi 11 Ultra and the Mi 11 Pro are the first set of smartphones with an IP68 waterproof rating for depths up to 1.5 meters, and they are both capable of remaining underwater for up to 30 minutes.
The water-resistant and dust-resistant capabilities of the Mi 11 Ultra are due to its Gorilla Glass front, ceramic back, and aluminum frame that combines to shut out both water and dust from affecting the device.
The Mi 11 Ultra
The Mi 11 Ultra was released in March 2021 and is already on sale for about $1,440. It runs on Android 11, with an Octa-core CPU and memory ratings of 8GB/12GB RAM and 256GB/512GB of internal memory.
The smartphone is also adorned with a powerful camera module, using a Samsung 1/1.12″ 50MP GN2 sensor for the main camera. In addition, a 48MP 5x periscope camera and a 48MP 12mm ultra-wide camera are also present. The exciting features of the Mi 11 Ultra will provide an instant appeal to its growing clientele, and Xiaomi is expected to reap from a projected surge in demand for waterproof-rated smartphones.
The phone is powered by the premium Snapdragon 888 5G chipset. It packs a 6.81-inch AMOLED display with 1440p resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. The 5,000mAh capacity battery also provides greater width in operational times before needing a recharge. Fast charging is also possible, with Xiaomi claiming that it is possible to have a full charge within 36 minutes.

Yes, we are equally surprised, but a leaker has namedropped the Honor 50 when we are yet to even see the Honor 40. A tweet by the leaker that goes by @RODENT950 has said that the Honor 50 will launch before the Huawei P50. We are not sure if Honor plans to launch the Honor 50 in place of the Honor 40 or if it plans to launch both devices one after the other.
The Huawei P50 has had to be delayed: the phone which was reported to launch this month is now said to be scheduled for a possible release in June, no thanks to supply chain issues that the company is facing. There is no official confirmation that the launch will happen in June, so we won’t rule out the possibility of it arriving earlier or even later.
However, if the tweet above is true, we can infer that Honor will launch its own flagship phone, the Honor 50, before the Huawei P50’s announcement in June or whenever it might be.
This new info is still unconfirmed, so we will advise you to take it with a pinch of salt until more details surface.
Teclast has revealed that its first 5G tablet will be unveiled soon. The brand disclosed recently (via IThome) that the tablet will be called T40 5G and is already in the prototype stage with the release expected as soon as it passes the functional tests.
Perhaps, the most interesting part of the announcement is the disclosure that the T40 5G will be powered by the UNISOC Tiger T7520 chip. The Tiger T7520 processor is a 5G chipset and the first to be built using a 6nm EUV process. The 6nm process has an increased transistor density of 18% compared to the 7nm process. It also brings a reduction in the power consumption by 8% over its predecessor. The T7520 chipset was first announced in February last year with the release set for early 2021. Thus, the Teclast T40 may be the first device to utilize the chipset.
Teclast didn’t release further details of the T40 5G but the brand launched a 4G version of the T40 towards the end of last month. The Teclast T40 4G is powered by a UNISOC Tiger T618 processor. The tablet features a 10.4-inch fullscreen display with a 2K resolution. The tablet also comes with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of flash memory. Keeping the lights on is a massive 8000mAh battery. The T40 4G equally features four stereo speakers and a gyroscope. We expected the 5G version to retain most of these configurations including the display size. The major difference will be the 5G chipset and perhaps more RAM and storage options.
Teclast is yet to release the launch itinerary for the T40 5G. We’ll keep you updated when more details emerge.

Xiaomi has launched a new smart home product that is presently on sale via the Youpin platform. The Xiaomi Smoke Detector, as it is called, is a product jointly created by Xiaomi and Honeywell and the logos of the two brands are printed at the front of the device.
The smoke detector/alarm is certified by China’s 3C as a fire protection product meaning that it has a high level of reliability. It can be paired with the MIJIA app to form part of the smart home ecosystem. In this regard, the product uses Bluetooth 5.0 connection mode, which means it needs to be used with a Bluetooth gateway such as Xiaomi smart speakers. As a matter of fact, Xiaomi had earlier launched a smoke detector some years back but that model uses a WiFi gateway which is the major difference with this model.
Just like the previous model, the Xiaomi Smoke Detector uses an optical labyrinth design, which can detect smoke particles produced by a fire, and immediately trigger an alarm at the first time.
When a dangerous situation is detected, a strong alarm will be issued through the mobile device. If a false alarm occurs, the user can use the MIJIA app on the mobile phone to mute the sound remotely.
The smoke detector has its own loudspeaker, which can emit an alarm sound of 80dB loudness within 3 meters, allowing family members to respond and deal with it in time. The outer shell of the product is made of anti-UV material, which is not easy to turn yellow after long-term use. The alarm also has an anti-insect net to ensure sensitive detection parts are not obscured by insects.
In addition, it uses CR17450 specification disposable lithium-manganese battery with a capacity of 2400mAh and a battery life of up to 5 years. The gadget can either be screwed to the wall or stamped on the wall surface as desired. The installation plate, screws, battery, and other accessories are included in the package, and users do not need to buy them separately.
Xiaomi Smoke Detector is priced at 149 yuan (~$22) and is presently available in China via Xiaomi Youpin. We expect it to be released overseas in due course.
Samsung is likely to launch Galaxy Tab A7 Lite and S7 Lite 5G in a couple of months. Among these, the render of the Galaxy Tab S7 Lite 5G has now appeared online.
Shared by Evan Blass on Voice, the post shows the Galaxy Tab S7 Lite 5G. If you recall, an earlier report said that the device would launch in four colors- Black, Silver, Pink, and Green. And the render shared by Evan shows the device in a Mystic Black color variant.
Talking about the image, the device looks a lot like its sibling Galaxy Tab S7. We have a magnetic attachment on the Aluminum back panel for holding the S-Pen. And speaking of which, the renders show that the device will most likely have the S-Pen support.

That said, Considering Samsung made users buy the S-Pen for the Galaxy Tab S7 separately, we can expect the same for the ‘Lite’ variant. Moving on, the device has USB-C and speakers at the bottom, while the top has another speaker to probably complete the stereo setup.
Also, there are dual-cameras on the back just like the Galaxy Tab S7 but we will have to wait for the official word to know if it will have the same 13MP and 8MP sensors. Upfront, we have a display that is said to be a 12.4-inch LCD panel with noticeable bezels around on all sides.
The Galaxy Tab S7 Lite will likely launch in certain markets in two models- 4G LTE (SM-T735) and Wi-Fi only (SM-T730). However, Europe is said to get a 5G variant instead of 4G. Geekbench listings suggest that the 5G variant will have Snapdragon 750G chipset.
Other expected features include Galaxy Continuity(using a tablet as a secondary screen for their Galaxy smartphone), at least 4GB of RAM, and run Android 11 OS. We can expect the device to launch in June / July 2021.

If you are wondering if the spanking new Axon 30 Ultra will be available outside China, then there is good news. ZTE has announced that the new flagship will be available for its international fans.
According to a Weibo post by ZTE Mobile, the company operates in more than 100 countries and it is aware that it has lots of fans outside China. In that light, it will be bringing the Axon 30 Ultra to them via its international website, ztedevices.com.
This is the same platform it announced the Axon 20 5G last year. However, we hope ZTE doesn’t repeat the “invite-first” sale method but makes it available for open sale once it is listed. ZTE ships the Axon 20 5G to more than 40 countries according to the information on the site, so we expect the Axon 30 Ultra will be available to these markets too. It has also been reported by The Verge that it will be sold in the US and Canada.
When will it be available? ZTE didn’t say neither did it reveal the price tag. Seeing as the Axon 20 5G wasn’t available until three months after its launch in China, there is a possibility that the Axon 30 Ultra will not be available so soon.
The Axon 30 Ultra has a Snapdragon 888 processor; four rear cameras, three of which are 64MP sensors; while it has up to 16GB of RAM, it appears only the 8GB RAM and 12GB RAM variants will be available outside China. The phone has a curved AMOLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate, a 4600mAh battery, and support for 66W fast wired charging.
