iQOO has confirmed that it will be announcing the iQOO 7 Legend smartphone this month in India. Ahead of the launch, the company has started releasing teasers to reveal the features of the smartphone. A fresh tweet confirms that the iQOO 7 Legend will arrive with an enhanced version of LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 storage.
The iQOO 7 Legend seems to be the BMW Motorsport-inspired version of the iQOO 7, which debuted in January in China. Gagan Arora who leads the India wing of iQOO has claimed that the smartphone will cost less than Rs 40,000 (~$536. Probably, it could be debuting as the cheapest Snapdragon 888 SoC powered smartphone in the country.
Effortlessly stylish, in a class of its own & power-packed with SD888 and enhanced UFS 3.1 & LPDDR5 RAM.
The iQOO 7 Legend is likely to sport an AMOLED panel of 6.62 inches. The punch-hole screen may offer FHD+ resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, and an in-display fingerprint sensor.
The Snapdragon 888 mobile platform is present under the hood of the device. The Geekbench listings of the phone have suggested that it may ship with up to 12 GB of LPDDR5 RAM. The handset is likely to feature up to 256 GB of storage. It was recently seen with an 831K+ score at AnTuTu benchmarks.
The iQOO 7 Legend could be coming with a 4,000mAh battery. It is unclear whether it will support 120W fast charging like its Chinee variant. It may feature a front camera of 16-megapixel and its rear-facing camera island may comprise of a 48-megapixel main camera with OIS support, a 13-megapixel telephoto snapper, and a 120-degree 13-megapixel superwide lens.
The OnePlus 9 is finally official and just like the previous years, it includes the vanilla OnePlus 9 and a Pro variant. The former is the device you actually need if you are searching for a great flagship but you want to save some money. It belongs to a segment that became a lot more important than top-tier flagships and it has a lot of rivals. Among the best ones in the global market, we got the Xiaomi Mi 11 and the OPPO Find X3 Neo. In this flagship killers comparison, you will learn the differences between these three amazing devices.

Design
You should not go for the OnePlus 9 if you are looking for the best design. Despite it may be better in terms of usability, it lacks a curved display and it is less elegant than its two rivals. Due to the bigger dimensions of the Xiaomi Mi 11 and the lighter design of the OPPO Find X3 Neo, I actually prefer the OPPO Find X3 Neo built with premium material, sporting a display with curved edges. I also love its original color variants.
Display
The best display is the one provided by the Xiaomi Mi 11. Besides coming with a wider diagonal which is comfortable for power users, it has a higher Quad HD+ resolution with 1440 x 3200 pixels. Further, it has a very high 1500-nit peak brightness, it shows up to one billion colors, it has a 120 Hz refresh rate and the HDR10+ certification. The second place goes to the OnePlus 9, at least on the paper, due to its 120 Hz refresh rate (OPPO Find X3 Neo has just 90 Hz).
Hardware/Software
With the Xiaomi Mi 11 and the OnePlus 9, you can get better hardware. They are both fueled by the Snapdragon 888 mobile platform, actually the best chipset by Qualcomm. The SoC is paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage. The OPPO Find X3 Neo has a weaker Snapdragon 865 which is Qualcomm’s flagship chipset of 2020, but the memory configuration is the same. You get three different user interfaces: the Xiaomi Mi 11 has MIUI, the OnePlus 9 comes with OxygenOS, and OPPO Find X3 Neo has ColorOS: all of them are great customized UIs.
Camera
The most advanced cameras belong to the OPPO Find X3 Neo. The OnePlus 9 has the best ultrawide sensor, but the OPPO Find X3 Neo provides a superior 50 MP Sony IMX766 main camera, a telephoto sensor with optical zoom (which is not present on Xiaomi Mi 11 and OnePlus 9), and a 16 MP ultrawide sensor. The Xiaomi Mi 11 has an amazing 108 MP main camera with 8K video recording capabilities but unfortunately is secondary sensors are pretty disappointing.
Battery
Xiaomi Mi 11 has a slightly bigger battery, but due to its higher resolution and wider display, it does not provide the longest battery life. The OnePlus 9 should be able to last more with its FHD+ smaller display and 5 nm chipset. OnePlus 9 and OPPO Find X3 Neo have faster wired charging technologies, while Xiaomi Mi 11 has faster wireless charging and reverse wireless charging. Unfortunately, OPPO Find X3 Neo lacks wireless charging.
Xiaomi Mi 11 vs OnePlus 9 vs OPPO Find X3 Neo: Price
Xiaomi Mi 11 and OPPO Find X3 Neo carry a €799/$950 price tag in the global market, while the OnePlus 9 costs €699/$832. There is not a suitable winner for everyone in this comparison. The Xiaomi Mi 11 has a better display and wireless charging technology, and it is definitely superior to the OnePlus 9. But the OPPO Find X3 Neo provides the best camera department: for several people, it provides more value than a slightly better display/processor. Which one would you pick?
In 2021 there are a lot of flagships with non-excessive prices, not only in China but even in the global market. Among these, we got the first-ever flagship from the Moto G series by Motorola. We are talking about the Moto G100, recently launched in Europe with a great price tag and flagship-class hardware department. Xiaomi came up with a flagship killer as well in the last period: the Xiaomi Mi 11i. This year, Europe got two flagships from the OPPO Find X series: besides the expensive Find X3 Pro, the company decided to also bring an affordable flagship globally: the OPPO Find X3 Neo. Here is a comparison between three of the most interesting affordable flagships out there: Moto G100, Xiaomi Mi 11i, and OPPO Find X3 Neo.
Motorola Moto G100 vs Xiaomi Mi 11i vs OPPO Find X3 Neo

Xiaomi Mi 11i

DIMENSIONS AND WEIGHT
168.4 x 74 x 9.7 mm, 207 g
163.7 x 76.4 x 7.8 mm, 196 grams
159.9 x 72.5 x 8 mm, 184 g
DISPLAY
6.7 inches, 1080 x 2520p (Full HD+), IPS LCD
6.67 inches, 1080 x 2400p (Full HD+), Super AMOLED
The best design is definitely the one of the OPPO Find X3 Neo. It is the only one with a curved display, it is very thin and lightweight, and it is built with better materials: glass for the back and aluminum for the frame. In case you missed it, the OPPO Find X3 Neo is a rebrand of the OPPO Reno5 Pro+ that is the most powerful handset in the Reno series. The Xiaomi Mi 11i and the Motorola Moto G100 are built with cheaper materials and their designs are less attractive. The Xiaomi Mi 11i provides the IP53 certification making it dust and splash resistant, while the Motorola Moto G100 has a water repellent surface.
Display
On the paper, it looks like the best display is provided by the Xiaomi Mi 11i. It has a higher peak brightness and a higher refresh rate with up to 120 Hz. But we are not sure it is really the best display: we did not compare the AMOLED panel of the OPPO Find X3 Neo directly to the Mi 11i, but we found out it is an amazing panel in terms of color reproduction. The Motorola Moto G100 loses the display comparison due to an IPS panel with worse color reproduction and lower brightness.
Hardware/Software
If you need the best phone in terms of the hardware department, then you should opt for the Xiaomi Mi 11i. It is powered by the most powerful processor by Qualcomm: the Snapdragon 888 paired with 8 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS 3.1 native storage. With the OPPO Find X3 Neo you get more RAM (12 GB), but it has an inferior chipset: the 2020 flagship Snapdragon 865 mobile platform. The Motorola Moto G100 sits in the middle with a Snapdragon 870 which is actually an upgrade of the Snapdragon 865. The phones run Android 11 out of the box with the Moto G100 providing a nearly-stock Android experience, while the other two have customized user interfaces.
Camera
The best camera phone is the OPPO Find X3 Neo and it is close to flagship camera phones. It comes with a 50 MP Sony IMX766 main camera with OIS, a 13 MP telephoto sensor with 2x optical zoom, a 16 MP ultrawide camera, and a 2 MP macro camera. The Xiaomi Mi 11i remains an interesting camera phone with its 108 MP main camera and 8K video recording, while Moto G100 is the most interesting selfie phone thanks to a dual ultrawide front camera with 16 + 8 MP resolutions.
Battery
The Moto G100 has the biggest battery and, despite its IPS display, it should provide a longer battery life in a lot of scenarios. On the other hand, the OPPO Find X3 Neo wins the fast charging comparison with a 65W power.
Motorola Moto G100 vs Xiaomi Mi 11i vs OPPO Find X3 Neo: Price
Xiaomi Mi 11i has a €649/$773 starting price, Moto G100 costs €599/$714 in its base variant, and OPPO Find X3 Neo costs €799/$952. The winner of the comparison is the OPPO Find X3 Neo due to its better camera, great design, and amazing overall specifications, but the Xiaomi Mi 11i has a better hardware department and Moto G100 a higher value for money.
HMD Global Thursday announced six new Nokia smartphones under three different series – Nokia X series, G-series, and at the bottom of the ladder is the C-series. The Nokia C-series is made up of the C10 and C20 smartphones.
Nokia C10
The Nokia C10 adopts a nearly similar design to the C20. Both models adopt a decent 6.52-inch LCD display with an HD+ resolution of 720pixels and a 20:9 aspect ratio. The LCD screen is capable of hitting a peak brightness of 400 nits and has 70% NTSC coverage. There is also a layer of Panda Glass protection ontop of the display.
Both models are powered by entry-level Unisoc processors with the C20 packing a Unisoc SC9863a processor while the Nokia C10 is powered by a Unisoc SC7331e chip which is the same SoC used on the Nokia C1. The processors are paired with 1GB/2GB of RAM on both models while there is 16GB and 32GB of internal storage onboard the models. If you consider the internal storage inadequate, there is a microSD slot on the smartphones.
Nokia C20
For optics, the two smartphones equally come with similar camera setups. This includes a sole 5MP selfie camera housed in the water drop notch cut-out at the top of the display. The rear aspect is also graced by a single 5MP sensor with an LED flash.
For interface, the Nokia C10 and C20 run on Android 11 Go Edition and Nokia is promising to provide two whole years of updates that would be pushed quarterly to the two models. under the hood, there is a 3,000 mAh battery on both models with support for 5W charging over a microUSB port. You also get a 3.5mm audio jack on the models as well as FM radio. Other connectivity options include Category 4 4G LTE (for the Nokia C20), Wi-Fi b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.2. The C10 peaks at 3G connectivity only.
As for the prices, the Nokia C10 which comes in Grey and Light Purple, will retail for €75 and will go on sale in June. On the other hand, the C20 comes in Dark Blue and Sand colour and will cost €90. It will be available later this month.
HTC has surprisingly outlived LG in the smartphone market. Even though the Taiwanese company is also struggling, it has no plans to exit the market yet. Actually, it has new 5G phones planned for this quarter according to a new report.
The info comes from DigiTimes who cites unnamed industry sources. According to them, HTC has plans to launch new 5G smartphones along with new AR/VR products this quarter. These new products are expected to help invigorate sales.
HTC U20 5G gets an official price cut in Taiwan
The manufacturer has also cut the price of its first 5G smartphone, the HTC U20 5G. The phone which launched last June is now selling for TWD$13,990 (~$492), just TWD$1,000 more than the HTC Desire 21 Pro 5G that was announced at the beginning of the year. You do get a more powerful processor, double the storage, and a higher-resolution selfie camera. However, that price is on the high side when compared to the competition.
For its AR/VR plans, HTC wants to release more commercial devices that serve those who need them for communication, work, and education. These new devices should launch under the VIVE series.
All of these products are planned for release this quarter but we won’t rule out the possibility of a delay considering the world is facing a chip shortage issue. Nevertheless, when they do arrive, they should be announced first in Taiwan before a wider release.
Huawei may have slumped on the smartphone scene but the company still strives to continue to make headway on other aspects of its consumer business arm. Today, the Chinese giant took the wraps off three new smart TV series – X, V, and S series. The models all come with leading technology, cinema-level audio, and video output, and several other features.
The Huawei Smart Screen V series is the flagship series and is available in four different screen sizes – 55-inch, 65-inch, 75-inch, and 85-inch models. The TV retains the design of last year’s V-series smart TVs including a front pop-up camera, a narrow bezel on three sides giving users an immersive viewing experience. The Huawei Smart Screen V-series adopts a metal frame manufactured using aluminum alloy with a brushed metal finish, giving it an elegant look. It also uses a 0.3mm ultra-thin high-gloss stainless steel sheet to combine the soundbar and speaker into one design. The screen and the speakers are integrated together with a single black color, making all surrounding features look as if they have disappeared when the screen is turned on.
The peak brightness of the 65-inch, 75-inch, and 85-inch models is 1000nit while the 55-inch model has a peak brightness of 750nit. The 85-inch version also uses a direct-lit matrix partition backlight (168 partitions) system to achieve more flexible backlight partition control. The Brightness Control Pro technology further improves the contrast of the picture by adjusting the real-time divisional brightness of each frame of the picture and achieves deeper dark parts and higher peak brightness.
Further, the Huawei Smart Screen V-series 2021 has a high refresh rate of 120Hz. It also comes with Huawei’s fast and smooth technology which improves videos with low frame rate and boosts them in order to prevent stuttering and allow a smooth and comfortable viewing experience.
The V-series also arrives as the world’s first new smart screen product with HDR Vivid certification. Each frame in the movie has its own metadata (including key information such as brightness and color). HDR Vivid optimizes the brightness, contrast, and color of each frame through different metadata. This restores the original intention of HDR content creators and provides users with a better visual experience.
In terms of performance, the V-series is equipped with Honghu 818 smart chip, made up of a dual-core Cortex A53 and dual-core Cortex-A73 architecture and clocked at 1.5GHz. The pop-up camera is a 24MP ultra-wide-angle AI camera that supports a 1080P high-definition video chat. With the intelligent portrait tracking algorithm, the camera can recognize the portrait intelligently without moving, so that the character display is always in the middle of the screen. When using the smart screen to watch videos or do other things, you can use the watch and chat function to chat while watching a movie.
Sound quality is also a major selling point of the new generation of Huawei’s smart screens. It adopts an ultra-thin subwoofer with high power, long-stroke, low distortion, thinner thickness, and lower low-frequency dive. Audio modes include Auto, Devialet, Standard, Cinema, Music, News, Custom.
Among them, the Devialet mode is the product of a joint tuning by Huawei and Devialet. The mode focuses on the two main scenes of music and movie. It deploys the Devalet-style sound effects. It also supports a vertical 3D surround sound field, and sends left and right surround sound to the full-range speakers on the top of the smart screen bringing a better 3D surround effect.
Huawei Smart Screen V-series runs on HarmonyOS and features newly developed entertainment scene functions. Huawei’s smart screen touch remote control has a built-in NFC tag. With this feature, video and audio contents on a mobile phone can be quickly projected to the smart screen without having to connect via WiFi.
In terms of price, the 55-inch version will retail for 5499 yuan (~$839), the 65-inch version carries a price tag of 7999 yuan (~$1221). The 75-inch Huawei Smart Screen V-series 2021 model is priced at 13999 yuan (~$2,136), and finally, the 85-inch version goes for 21999 yuan (~$3,358). The smart TV models can be pre-ordered on Vmall.

Huawei has reportedly postponed the HUAWEI P50 series and it is likely launching in June alongside the Harmony OS 2.0. Besides, suspicious prototype images of the Huawei P50 series have now been leaked and it has a circular camera layout, unlike the pill-shape we saw in the renders before.
Alleged Huawei P50 prototype
we have received some mysterious prototype images of the upcoming Huawei P series device. It is likely that the same tipster, who sent the images to other publications like GSMArena, pocketnow has sent it to us too. Anyway, we see the images showing the rear of the device with a circular camera layout.
There are four sensors but we don’t see a periscope lens so it could be the Huawei P50 Pro model. Upfront, there is a curved display with a dual punch-hole cutout probably for the selfies and it is totally different from the single punch-hole that in various CAD renders.
That said, things get fishy if you focus on the attention to details that are visible as you look closer. For starters, the LEICA branding is misspelled and the ring around the layout, which we have seen on devices like Huawei Mate 30, is flushing out to the edges.
Also, we can see that the prototype image doesn’t have the volume buttons, and the earpiece like the Mate 30. Keep in mind that Huawei brought back both these on the P40, Mate 40.
All these hint that this could just be a fake mockup of Huawei Mate 30 or a whole new device under the Huawei P50 series. You can take a look at the images below:

Either way, the Huawei P50 series is so far said to include Huawei P50, P50 Pro, and P50 Pro+. All the renders shared from leakers show that the entire series has a pill-shaped camera layout.
Among these, the Huawei P50 is said to have a 6.3-inch flat display, measure around 156.7 x 74 x 8.3mm. The Huawei P50 Pro, on the other hand, is said to feature a 6.6-inch curved display and measure 159 x 73 x 8.6mm.
Poco X3 Pro comes with a 6.67-inch FHD+ IPS LCD DotDisplay and runs on a powerful Snapdragon 860 Octa-core processor. It features a rear quad camera set up with a 48MP main camera and 8MP + 2MP + 2MP secondary cameras. The front features a 20MP AI camera. A massive 5160mAh battery fuels this smartphone which also comes with a 33W Fast flash charge.
POCO X3 Pro comes in two colors viz: Black and Blue and two storage variants viz: 6GB + 128GB and 8GB + 256GB. The Global version of POCO X3 Pro is available for $299 at Giztop.
Please note that the above-mentioned price is for the base variant only. The final price may vary depending upon the variant.

Lenovo has taken the wraps off its latest gaming smartphone. The new Legion Phone 2 Pro (Legion Phone Duel 2 outside China) is the tech giant’s second gaming phone and it comes with a refreshed design, a bigger battery capacity, and a bunch of new stuff.
Lenovo Legion Phone 2 Pro specs
The phone has a 6.92-inch Samsung E4 AMOLED display that has a 20.5:9 aspect ratio, a 2460 x 1080 resolution, a 144Hz refresh rate, a 720Hz touch response rate, and a 3.8ms response time. It is an 8-bit HDR display with a Pixelworks i6 chipset. Its maximum brightness is 1300 nits and there is Gorilla Glass 5 covering it.
As expected, there is a Snapdragon 888 processor under the hood with 8GB of RAM on the base model and 18GB of RAM on the highest configuration. There is also a 16GB RAM model. The storage is UFS 3.1 and it starts at 128GB and goes up to 512GB.
For the cameras, the Legion Phone 2 Pro has an OmniVision 64MP f/1.9 1.0 µm main sensor and it comes along with a 16MP f/2.2 123° ultrawide angle camera. There is no depth sensor, telephoto camera, or macro camera. The front-facing camera has been upgraded to a 44MP f/2.0 sensor but it still slides out from the middle of the frame. The phone can record in 8K at 24 fps and 4K at 60fps. It can also record slow-motion videos in 1080p at 240fps and shoot in RAW format. It also has Audio Zoom.
You get front-facing stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos and a game mode that enhances the in-game sound experience. There are four microphones with noise reduction and a dual smart amplifier. It has Wi-Fi 6 for connectivity.
There is a 5500mAh battery (split into two halves) inside the device and it supports a maximum of 90W fast charging via two USB-C ports. However, you get a 65W charger in the box which is still incredibly fast by today’s standard.
One of the unique features of the Legion Phone 2 Pro is its twin-turbo fan active cooling system.

In early January, Vivo shared an official Android 11 rollout plan for India. Accordingly, it has been rolling out updates to various devices lately. The recent ones to get it are the Vivo S1 and Vivo V15 Pro. Now, the Vivo Y19, which isn’t on the list, has started getting the Android 11 update.
An OTA update with firmware version rev 6.73.6 is rolling out to the users of Vivo Y19 in India. The update, which weighs about 3.2GB brings the Funtouch OS 11 based on Android 11 OS to the device.
If you recall, the Vivo Y19 launched back in November 2019 in India with FunTouch OS 9.2 UI based Android 9 Pie. The device later got the Android 10 update and is currently running on the software version PD1934F_EX_A_1.70.12.
The latest update will bump the OS to Android 11 features to the Vivo Y19 and if you aren’t familiar with what you are getting, you can read our coverage on the same. That said, this could be the last update for the Vivo Y19 but we appreciate the company for bringing two generations of upgrades.
Vivo, which has recently signed cricketer Virat Kohli as its ambassador, has no plans of bringing OriginOS from China to other markets yet. This plan might change in the future but looks like the global devices are going to stick to the Funtouch OS 11.
Anyway, the update for Vivo Y19 has also optimized issues like home screen editing and display functions. So, if you are in India and own a Vivo Y19, we suggest you update the device ASAP.
Vivo’s plan for April 2021 includes devices like the Vivo S1 Pro, Vivo Z1 Pro, Vivo Z1x. Let’s wait and see when the company will start rolling out the updates.
