ASUS ZenFone 8 Mini Geekbench appearance reveals Snapdragon 888 and 16GB of RAM

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.

The lineup includes the Xiaoxin Air 15 2021 and it is shown in the image as a notebook computer with really slim side bezels. The Xiaoxin Pro 16 2021 is also on the list and the image shows that it also has slim bezels. It has been reported that this notebook has a 2K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate.

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.

TECNO KF6/KF6K and new TECNO PHANTOM (AC8) certified by FCC

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 FCC Featured

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 FCC Featured

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.

Realme C25 vs Redmi 9 Prime: Specs Comparison

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.

Realme C25 vs Xiaomi Redmi 9 Prime

ADDITIONAL FEATURES Dual SIM slot, reverse charging Dual SIM slot

Design

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.

 

 

Battery

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.

 

 

Realme C25 vs Xiaomi Redmi 9 Prime: PRO and CONS

Realme C25

PRO

  • Better main camera (intl. version)
  • Android 11 out of the box

Leaker reveals the Honor 50 will arrive before Huawei P50

Honor is expected to launch the Honor View40 for global markets but it is yet to do so. Another device that has been reported that will get an international release is the Honor 40, or is it the Honor 50 now?

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 T40 5G packing the 6nm UNISOC Tiger T7520 5G SoC launching soon

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. Teclast T40 5G

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 T40 5g

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 Smoke Detector with 5 years of battery life launched for ¥149 (~$22)

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. Xiaomi smoke detector alarm

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.Xiaomi Smoke Detector Alarm

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. Xiaomi Smoke Detector Alarm

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 Galaxy Tab S7 Lite 5G render leaked, shows S-Pen support, Dual-Cameras, & more

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.

ZTE Axon 30 Ultra will be available outside China; a challenger to the Mi 11 Ultra?

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.

ZTE Axon 30 Ultra global availability

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.

Redmi Gaming phone appears on 3C certification with 67W charging support

Redmi gaming phone is confirmed to launch by the end of this month, i.e, April 2021. Ahead of the launch, it has appeared on the 3C certification website.

A Redmi smartphone with model number M2104K10AC appears on 3C certification database. If you recall, this device is said to launch as the Redmi’s first gaming phone. Anyway, the certification shows that the device is rated for a maximum of 67W charging.

Considering it’s a gaming phone, it will most likely be a wired charging. That said, 67W charging isn’t new to Xiaomi. Recently, Mi 11 Ultra debuted with 67W wired+ wireless. Do note that this is not the fastest charging protocol that Xiaomi has unveiled.

The company brought Mi 10 Ultra last year and it had up to 120W charging support. That being said, this 67W charging support, goes in line with the earlier report as well. So, it’s just a matter of time till the company confirms itself.

 

Also, if you note the charger, it has a model number MDY-12-EF which is the same one that got certified under Xiaomi a while ago. It’s great to see Redmi get the latest tech as Xiaomi’s top-of-the-line flagship and the adaption is faster than before.

Redmi has already confirmed that its first gaming phone will be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 1200 chipset. The device is said to feature a special “Call Of Duty” Theme, optimized for “PeaceKeeper Elite” with better haptic vibrations, etc.

While the other specs aren’t confirmed, it is likely to come with a 5,000mAh battery, 64MP Sony IMX686 camera, run MIUI 12.5 out of the box. Also, there are reports that this device could launch under ‘POCO’ branding in India. Let’s wait for more info in the coming days.

ZTE reveals the Axon 30 with an under-display camera was delayed, will come soon

ZTE announced the Axon 30 Pro and Axon 30 Ultra smartphones today. The two phones are its latest flagships but they do not come with under-display cameras like the Axon 20 5G. For those wondering if ZTE has abandoned its under-display camera technology due to the sub-par review the Axon 20 5G received, that is not the case.

Ni Fei, the president of ZTE Mobile Devices, revealed that the Axon 30 is coming and it will have an under-display camera. The manufacturer explained that the device was delayed due to the current global chip shortage among other issues. Nevertheless, he says the phone will arrive soon.

ZTE Axon 30 teaser

ZTE had teased that the Axon 30 will have an under-display camera back in January. The phone will be the direct successor to the Axon 20 5G and it will feature ZTE’s second-generation under-display camera technology. The manufacturer already demoed the technology earlier this year at Mobile World Congress Shanghai and claims it brings significant upgrades over the first generation.

The phone is expected to come with a Snapdragon 888 chipset like its other siblings that were announced today, though we won’t be surprised if it comes with a different chipset entirely. It should also run Android 11 with ZTE’s new MyOS interface on top.

Huawei targets 6G launch by 2030, touts 50 times faster speed than 5G

Chinese tech powerhouse Huawei has endured a very vicious campaign of sanctions and restrictions within the last two years, but it seems the company is still riding strong amidst the storm. Huawei has continued on a positive development trajectory, with several patents emanating from the company in recent times.Huawei Logo MWC 2019

The current Huawei rotating Chairman Xu Zhijun has disclosed that the company projects 2030 as the launch date for its next-generation 6G technology deployment. The 6G network will be 50 times faster than 5G, further enhancing the current 5G technology which is still at its developmental stage in various parts of the world. According to the Huawei chairman, a 6G white paper that will provide the necessary details on the technology for industry regulators and players will be unveiled soon.

Xu’s announcement is bound to keep Huawei’s competitors on their feet, as it indicates progress the company had made even in the height of stiff restrictions by the United States Government and some of its allies. Huawei continues to blaze the trail among its competitors in several aspects of the technology spectrum, including communication, where it remains the undisputed leader in 5G technology.

As Huawei continues to extend technology’s frontiers through its numerous innovations, possibilities continue to unfurl for it to deploy 6G technology. The speed of the 6G network massively outclasses that of 5G up to 50 times. It is far superior to 5G in terms of the key performance indicators and metrics like peak rate, delay, traffic density, connection density, mobility, and spectrum efficiency.

The expected benefits of 6G communications networks are pretty mouthwatering. With ultra-high network speeds never before seen, the world will become more connected, and several tasks still challenging to accomplish using 5G will become routine. The impact on the health, automobile, economic and technological space will be significant if indeed Huawei can pull this achievement in 2030.

The new report would help to boost fans’ confidence in the brand amidst the protracted sanctions.
