Apr 10, 2021

The Realme Neo GT was recently announced in China as the first-ever smartphone powered by the Dimensity 1200 chipset. Reports have revealed that Redmi is also working on a gaming-focused phone powered by the same chip. A reliable tipster seems to have claimed that the Redmi phone with D1200 chip may debut by the middle or at the end of this month.

Past reports have revealed that the upcoming Xiaomi phone with model number M2104K10C is the Redmi phone with Dimensity 1200 chip onboard. This model is yet to appear in the database of China’s TENAA and 3C certification platforms.

The handset is said to be codenamed Ares and it is likely to sport a quad-camera system headlined by a Sony IMX686 64-megapixel main lens. At present, there is no other information available on the specs of the device.

The Indian variant of the phone with model number M2104K10I was recently spotted in the country’s IMEI database. The listing revealed that this device is likely to arrive in India with a POCO branding. Since the Dimensity 1200 is expected to offer a flagship-grade performance like the Snapdragon 870, this device may possibly debut as an F-series flagship. However, it is advisable to wait for further reports to confirm whether China’s Dimensity 1200 powered Redmi phone will be rebadged as a POCO smartphone in India.

The Realme GT Neo is selling in China with a starting price of 1,799 Yuan (~$275). It is likely that the upcoming Redmi phone with D1200 could be rivaling the GT Neo with similar pricing.

There is another Xiaomi phone with an M2103K19PC model number waiting in queue to debut in China. While it is expected to arrive with specs like a 90Hz LCD screen, a 48-megapixel primary camera, a side-facing fingerprint scanner, and a 5,000mAh battery with 22.5W fast charging, its final product name is under wraps. This device is also expected to get rebranded as a POCO phone in India.

HONOR X20 tipped to feature MediaTek Dimensity 1200 SoC

HONOR X series of smartphones used to compete with the Redmi Note series. But unfortunately, with the Huawei ban, last year’s HONOR X10 did not make it to the global markets. Now, as we are approaching the anniversary of its launch, details about its successor HONOR X20 have started popping up.

According to a leakster (@馬然熊猫) on Weibo, the upcoming HONOR X20 will be powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 1200 SoC. This piece of information comes from the same person who recently tipped the key specs of the vivo X70 series and the alleged vivo NEX 5.

Unfortunately, he did not say anything else about this forthcoming handset. According to a previous report, the HONOR X20 will be a mid-range phone like its predecessors.

For those unaware, last year, HONOR made changes to the X series branding. The number in the name is now preceded by X. Also, the HONOR X10, which is still being sold in China is the first device in the series with 5G connectivity.

The highlights of this handset include a pop-up selfie camera like its forerunner HONOR 9X, HiSilcion Kirin 820 SoC, 9 5G bands, and a 40MP Sony IMX600y RYYB sensor.

If the upcoming HONOR X20 is indeed powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 1200 chipset, then it could be one of the cheapest phones with this SoC. It will likely compete with the recently launched realme GT Neo and the upcoming Redmi gaming smartphone.

Last month, Realme announced the Realme 8 and Realme 8 Pro smartphones in India. Today, Realme’s Thailand wing officially confirmed today that the Realme 8 5G series will be launching in Thailand on April 21.

The teaser video showcases the rear design of the Realme 8 5G. It is likely that the company will be releasing more teasers of the Realme 8 5G and Realme 8 Pro 5G before the launch event, which will be held at 6 PM (local time) on April 21 in Thailand.

A new Realme phone with an RMX3241model number was certified by the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) authority of Thailand. This phone has also been approved by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) authorities in the recent past.

While the BIS certification did not reveal any specification of the Realme 8 5G phone, its FCC listing revealed that it measures 162.25 x 74.8 x 8.5mm and it weighs 185 grams. The FCC certification also confirmed a few other details such as Realme UI 2.0 based Android 11 OS, dual 5G, Wi-Fi 802.11ac, Bluetooth, GPS, GLONASS, BDS, and a 5,000mAh battery.

Speculations are rife that the Realme 8 5G will be equipped with the Dimensity 700 chipset. It is speculated that it could be arriving as one of the most affordable 5G phones from the brand. Nothing much is known about the Realme 8 Pro 5G. Rumors surrounding it have claimed that it could be equipped with the Snapdragon 750G. A recent leak claimed that the Realme 8 5G and Realme 8 Pro 5G will be breaking cover on April 22 in India. The country is also expected to receive another phone called the Realme 8i.

Google Pixel 5a 5G rumors about discontinuation refuted by Google

A reliable tipster recently claimed that Google has been canceled the Pixel 5a smartphone due to the chip shortage issue. Soon a report by Android Central appeared stating that the Pixel 5a 5G will get a limited release in the U.S. and Japan, and it will not realize in other regions. Google quickly debunked the rumor about Pixel 5a’s cancellation by saying that it will be launching the Pixel 5a 5G smartphone.

A Google spokesperson speaking to 9to5Google refuted the rumors by saying, “Pixel 5a 5G is not canceled. It will be available later this year in the US and Japan and announced in line with when last year’s a-series phone was introduced.” The official statement not only confirms the arrival of the smartphone but also reveals that it will carry support for 5G connectivity. However, it is unclear whether there will be another model with only 4G LTE support.

Google Pixel 5a render by Steve Hemmerstoffer

It is interesting to see that Google’s spokesperson has specifically mentioned the US and Japan as the only two markets that will be receiving the Pixel 5a 5G. Last year, the Pixel 4a 5G and Pixel 5 were made available in limited markets and it seems that the upcoming Pixel 5a 5G could be will available in just two markets.

Past reports have claimed that the Google Pixel 5a could be debuting in June. A recent report claimed that the Pixel 5a could be coming to India since it has been certified by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). Probably, the country could be treated with the 4G edition of the device. Nothing much is known about the specifications of the Pixel 5a. Early renders of the smartphone have revealed that it will look a lot like the Pixel 4a 5G.

Apr 9, 2021

The gaming phone niche became wide enough to give gamers a lot of choices. Four brands released top-tier gaming phones in 2021: Nubia, Lenovo, Asus, and Black Shark. The latest one is the Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2, packing some very innovative features such as the side-mounted pop-up camera and a new advanced cooling system involving physical fans. But is the Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2 the most impressive gaming phone you can actually buy or the concurrence has a few better alternatives on the paper? Let’s find it out through a specs comparison between Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2, Asus ROG Phone 5, and Black Shark 4 Pro!

Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2 vs Asus ROG Phone 5 vs Xiaomi Black Shark 4 Pro

	Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2	Asus ROG Phone 5	Xiaomi Black Shark 4 Pro
DIMENSIONS AND WEIGHT	176 x 78.5 x 9.9 mm, 259 grams	172.8 x 77.3 x 10.3 mm, 238 grams	163.8 x 76.4 x 9.9 mm, 220 grams

BATTERY	5500 mAh, fast charging 65W or fast charging 90W	6000 mAh, fast charging 65W	4500 mAh, fast charging 120W
ADDITIONAL FEATURES	Dual SIM slot, 5G, triggers, RGB logo, side-mounted pop-up camera, physical cooling fans	Dual SIM slot, 5G, AirTriggers, RGB logo, reverse charging	Dual SIM slot, 5G, physical gaming triggers

Design

The design is not very important when it comes to gaming phones, but the position of the various gaming-related elements is. All the phones offer either pressure-sensitive or physical triggers on the borders and/or on the rear side of the device, which is a very useful feature for advanced gamers. But the Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2 has more. Another interesting feature of the Lenovo gaming phone is the side-mounted pop-up camera: it is very useful if you are a YouTuber or you want to stream your games. Further, all the components which generate heat on the Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2 are placed at the center, far from your hands while you play in landscape mode. On the other hand, the design of the Asus ROG Phone 5 offers compatibility with more external accessories. But the Black Shark 4 Pro is the most elegant one with its punch-hole display.

Display

Do you need the most advanced display in terms of image reproduction? Go for the Asus ROG Phone 5 without thinking twice. Its AMOLED display is able to show up to one billion colors. On the other hand, the Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2 features a wider panel (6.92 inches) and a way higher touch sampling rate (720 Hz!) which is definitely more useful for gamers. All the phones come with a 144 Hz refresh rate and a Full HD+ resolution.

Specs & Software

Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2, Asus ROG Phone 5, and Xiaomi Black Shark 4 Pro are all fueled by the Snapdragon 888 mobile platform, so you actually get the same flagship-class performance level. They all feature up to 16 GB of LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1, but you should note that only the Black Shark 4 Pro and the Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2 have configurations with 512 GB of internal storage. The phones are all based on Android 11 but the Asus ROG Phone offers an important additional feature: it gives you the chance to switch to stock Android from a customized user interface.

Camera

These handsets are not camera phones and you should not expect a high photo quality from them. However, they offer pretty nice midrange cameras. The Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2 is the most surprising because it features an amazing 44 MP front camera: as mentioned above it is side-mounted, a great feature for streamers. When it comes to the rear cameras, these phones are more or less at the same level with their 64 MP main sensors.

Battery

The Asus ROG Phone 5 has the biggest battery with a 6000 mAh capacity. However, it has the slowest fast charging technology with “just” 65W. The Black Shark 4 Pro features whopping 120W fast charging, but it has the smallest battery with a capacity of 4500 mAh. The Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2 sits in the middle with a 5500 mAh battery and 90W fast charging (if you use two cables).

Price

Asus ROG Phone 5 is priced €799/$950 in its base variant in the global market, Black Shark 4 Pro did not hit the European market (it starts from €516/$614 in China), and Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2 starts from €799/$950 as well. Which phone would you pick?

LG officially commits to three years update for its premium phones

Apr 9, 2021

LG earlier this week confirm the closure of its smartphone arm after several unsuccessful bids to revive the once bubbling business. One question that has often been asked is what happens to the existing users of LG phones in terms of software updates.

LG Rollable Smartphone — We’ll never get to see the LG Rollable phone after all

Well, LG has now released an official statement to that effect. The company disclosed that it is pledging to push up to three versions of Android updates for all its premium smartphones. The three updates will start counting from when the phone was released. Thus, a phone that has already received Android 10 and 11 updates will only be eligible for one more major update. Whereas phones like the LG Velvet, G-series, V-series, and Wing released recently may go up to Android 13. The company also disclosed that some models released in 2020 like the LG Stylo and K series will get two OS updates.

LG Wing featured — LG had hoped the Wing smartphone will turn its fortunes but it didn’t fly as expected

LG in an earlier official statement disclosed that it was stepping away from the mobile phone business and will focus on other areas like electric vehicle components, connected devices, smart homes, robotics, artificial intelligence, and business-to-business solutions, as well as platforms and services.

The brand also hinted that it will clear out existing stock but expects to completely shut down the entire mobile business by July 31. Before that happens, LG says it will work closely with suppliers and business partners for a seamless winding down of the mobile phone division.

Going forward, LG plans to deploy its robust mobile expertise and mobile-related technologies like 6G in other businesses, and also in existing and future products.

Apple iPhone 12 tops the chart in global Top 10 best-selling smartphones list for January 2021

Apr 9, 2021

Last year, Apple iPhone 11 topped the charts on the best-selling smartphones during the first half. Later, the device went on to be one of the most shipped smartphones for the entire year as well. Today, Counterpoint Research has come up with a report for the global Top 10 best-selling models for January 2021, and Apple dominates the list yet again with iPhone 12 at the top.

As per the report, Apple iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro, and iPhone 12 Pro Max accounted for 71% of Apple’s entire sales for the month and occupied the first three positions in the Top 10 list. As reported earlier, the demand was high for the 5G Apple devices due to a late launch in 2020.

The yesteryear iPhone 11 is still at the fourth spot and this isn’t that surprising considering the device is still a value for money for Apple lovers. Also, the report says that 1/3rd of Apple’s total sales comes from the US.

Apple also has two more devices on the list and one of them is the iPhone 12 mini, yes you heard it right. Reports said that Apple could discontinue the mini version by Q2 but look like it has garnered some sales in January. The other iPhone model is the iPhone SE 2020.

The Top-10 list is once again shared only by Samsung and Xiaomi apart from Apple. We have Redmi 9A and Redmi 9 in the fifth and sixth spots. The report says that the sub $150 phones accounted for 25% of Xiaomi’s total sales for January.

Talking about Samsung, the Galaxy A21s and the Galaxy A31, which recently got price cuts in India, occupy the seventh and ninth spot respectively. Lastly, the report says that Xiaomi is growing gradually in the MEA region while Samsung is looking to attract more HONOR with its Galaxy A devices.

That being said, with more 5G mid-range devices launching in the coming months, we can expect them to dominate the Top 10 list this year.

UPS seals deal with Beta Tech for 150 evTOL electric aircrafts for deliveries

Vermont-based tech startup Beta Technologies has signed a deal with United Parcel Service (UPS) to produce 150 electric vertical takeoffs and landing aircraft. UPS will deploy the aircraft to cut delivery times and access small markets more efficiently. Beta will make the first deliveries of 10 evTOL aircraft in 2024.

The electric aircraft from Beta Technologies has a 400km range, with a top speed of 274kph (about 170 mph), and can carry a payload of about 635kg. The aircraft will provide UPS with greater efficiency in moving time-sensitive and other important deliveries for small markets. They would avoid airport protocols as the aircraft will take off and land on UPS facilities. The evTOL aircraft would ultimately incorporate autonomous technology, but the current deliveries will all be the piloted version.

UPS’s move to acquire electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft is bound to substantially improve its operational efficiency when the aircraft becomes operational in 2024. According to Kyle Clark, the founder, and CEO of Beta Technologies, it will bypass the use of airports and create a micro air feeder network without the noise or operating emissions of fixed-winged aircraft.

UPS Electric Aircraft — The Electric Aircraft charging station can be used to recharge other EVs

The evTOL aircraft manufacturer Beta Technologies has made solid progress in the development and deployment of electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft and will also provide its proprietary modular charging stations for rapid recharge of the aircraft. The charging stations can rapidly recharge the aircraft within one hour and provide charging support for UPS’s growing electric vehicle fleet. The charging stations make use of aircraft batteries which are no longer capable of use in flights.

Both UPS and Beta Technologies are optimistic about the potentials of the deal, which will open new business opportunities and enhance the efficiency of the logistics giant’s ground operations while also drastically reducing UPS’s carbon emission profile.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e gets Android 11 (One UI 3.1) update

By

Sudarshan Ravichandran

Apr 9, 2021

Samsung launched the Galaxy Tab S5e in early 2019. The tablet debuted with One UI based on Android 9.0 Pie. It was later updated to Android 10-based One UI 2.x last year. Now, it has started receiving its last major system update in the form of One UI 3.1 (Android 11).

Samsung has been rolling out Android 11 (One UI 3.x) update to eligible smartphones and tablets since December. Within a few months, the company has delivered the Android 11 to most of the devices.

Only a few products are left to be updated, like the Galaxy Tab S5e, which has now begun to get it as well. According to SamMobile, the One UI 3.1 update for this tablet is currently live in Russia and the UK with firmware version T72XXXU2DUD1.

Like any other OTA update, it is being pushed in batches. Therefore, it could take time to reach every unit. Also, apart from the above-mentioned two countries, the update should also hit other countries in the coming days.

Users of this tablet can head over to Settings > Software update > Download and install to check whether their unit has received the update.

That said, although Android 11 is the last major system update for the Galaxy Tab S5e, it should receive security updates till 2023.

Motorola to launch 2 new G series phones with best mid range segment specs in India: Tipster

Apr 9, 2021

A tipster has revealed interesting news regarding upcoming smartphone launches from Motorola in India. The company is reportedly planning on launching two new Moto G series of smartphones in the region.

As per a recent tweet by a known tipster Mukul Sharma (@stufflistings), the known smartphone brand will soon launch two new smartphones, which will be a part of the G series. For those unaware, the G series is the company’s mid range segment handsets that have historically been popular in the Indian subcontinent. Notably, the tweet also specifically emphasizes that the company will launch these devices with the “best specifications till date in the mid segment smartphones in India.”

[Exclusive] I can now confirm that Motorola is soon going to launch 2 new Moto G series phones loaded with some of the best specifications seen till date in the mid-segment smartphones in India. Will be sharing more details soon.
Feel free to retweet.#NextMotoG

— Mukul Sharma (@stufflistings) April 9, 2021

Unfortunately, it is currently unknown what these ‘best’ features include. Furthermore, Motorola has lost a lot of ground in India to Chinese tech giants like Xiaomi, especially in the mid range segment. So, it would make sense that the company would seek to bring in new and prospective buyers through attractive specifications. Although, this is just an unconfirmed report so take it with a pinch of salt for now.

Apart from the fact that the two new devices are a part of the G series, the tipster refrained from mentioning the exact models that will be launching in India soon. Additionally, we have no way of knowing for sure at the moment, but it could be a part of the new lineup of G series devices that the company has launched in Europe. This includes the Moto G60 (which could launch as a rebranded G40 Fusion) and Moto G100. However, this would also imply a price tag higher than any other G series device that has launched in India so far.
