Xiaomi is on a launch spree since the beginning of this year. The company has been releasing new products every other week across the world. Looks like the firm will continue to do so for a while as another one of its upcoming phones gets listed on TENAA.

Xiaomi Mi 11 featured review 15 — Xiaomi Mi 11

Xiaomi M2101K9C, which has been in the news for a few months has now appeared on TENAA. According to the listing, this handset will be a 5G-enabled Android 11 device backed by a 4,250mAh battery.

In other words, the Xiaomi M2101K9C will have a thickness of a mere 6.81mm. Hence, it could be one of the thinnest 5G smartphones whenever it goes official in the near future despite having a large capacity battery.

According to previous reports, this phone could launch as Mi 11 Lite 5G. There’s also a report that claims it to release as Mi CC11 in China. The global variant of this handset with model number M2101K9G has already been certified by IMDA and FCC.

BBK Electronics is mostly popular due to the OPPO, Vivo, and OnePlus brands. However, the company has a less popular brand known as imoo.

The imoo Ear-care headset comes with a maximum volume of 85dB which ensures it stays safe for the kid. The device is also lightweight and is manufactured using anti-allergic plastic. It packs two 16.2mm speakers that are equipped with IR sensors that automatically pause music when you take off the headset. Also, the wearable device comes with IP54 waterproof and dustproof ratings.

Further, there is Bluetooth 5.0 which ensures smooth and seamless connectivity to other Bluetooth devices within a range of 10 metres. The headsets are also touted to have up to 8 hours of battery life on a single charge and it takes just an hour to fully charge the battery.

As for the pricing and availability, the imoo Ear-care carries a price tag of $59 and comes in Aurora Green color only. It is presently available to buy on imoo’s website.

Mar 13, 2021

Recently, OnePlus confirmed that it will be announcing the OnePlus 9 series of smartphones on March 23. The event will see the arrival of the OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro smartphones powered Hasselblad cameras. It has now confirmed that it will be also unleashing the much-anticipated OnePlus Watch smartwatch on March 23.

Earlier this year, OnePlus launched the OnePlus Band as is its first wearable device. The company had teased a smartwatch back in 2015. However, it decided to ditch it in a bd to focus more on its smartphone lineup. In October 2020, the company released the first teaser of its smartwatch, which suggested that it will go official in the coming months. In December, OnePlus CEO Pete Lau confirmed that it will be announced in early 2021. Shown below is the latest tweet, which confirms that the OnePlus Watch will be debuting on March 23.

You asked for it. You're getting it.

— OnePlus India (@OnePlus_IN) March 12, 2021

Reports have suggested that there could be two models of the OnePlus Watch. The one with the W310GB model number may feature a square-shaped dial and it is likely to be called the OnePlus Watch.

The other variant with the W501GB model number could be sporting a circular screen and it may break cover as the OnePlus Watch RX. Both models are expected to land in India since they have received certification from the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). The OnePlus Watch series is speculated to run on Wear OS.

It is still unclear whether the company will be announcing the rumored OnePlus 9R/E smartphone alongside the OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro smartphones. The Chinese manufacturer is also yet to confirm the arrival of the OnePlus Nord SE, which is nothing but a specially designed version of the original OnePlus Nord phone.

OPPO’s first foldable smartphone rumoured to launch in June

By

-

Mar 12, 2021

A new original equipment manufacturer (OEM) will soon be added to the growing list of manufacturers of smartphones with a foldable or rollable display. Chinese manufacturer OPPO is rumored to be in the final stages of releasing its first smartphone with a foldable display by the end of June or possibly July 2021. This was disclosed by the noted tipster, Digital Chat Station who has got a high degree of accuracy with his leaks.

The race for the delivery of a foldable display seems to be very keen among Chinese brands like Xiaomi and Vivo, together with OPPO and a few others, as well as Google, all pursuing the release of the models within 2021. However, it should be stated that the information is speculative and none of the companies mentioned have put out any definitive statement on their rumored rollout of foldable displays this year.

On the other hand, Chinese giant, Huawei has announced its foldable device for 2021, and Samsung is also projected to release the Galaxy Z Fold3 and Z Flip3 as well in 2021. Huawei and Samsung could we’ll be the frontrunners in the race, having put out some form of confirmation of their plans.

There are speculations that most of the upcoming smartphones with foldable displays are the versions with in-folding capacity, as compared with the initial out-folding models that have been previously produced by some manufacturers. Huawei had come up previously with an out-folding display model, the Huawei MateX, whose initial hype has died off and may have been plagued by many technical issues due to the out-folding nature of its display. It is believed that Huawei’s new offering will be an in-folding model.

It is a mixed bag of opinion among smartphone customers on the utility and durability of foldable displays over conventional flat displays. While some consumers believe that foldable displays are quite compact and could be as efficient and durable as other displays, many consumers are of the view that foldable display models are very fragile and less efficient.

OnePlus 9 & 9 Pro receive 3C and network certifications in China

Mar 12, 2021

OnePlus‘ upcoming flagship series has continued to rule the airwaves especially as the company has relented in dishing out juicy details and teasers of the models. It is no longer news that the OnePlus 9 series will be launched on March 23. Ahead of the date, the models have now been certified by two of China’s numerous certification agencies namely 3C (CCC) and TENAA (MIIT).

The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) which is also known as TENAA only granted the OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro network certifications. The OnePlus 9 is listed as LE2110 while the OnePlus 9 Pro comes with the model number LE2120. These model numbers had earlier been tipped to belong to the OnePlus 9 and the Pro variants respectively.

Basically, not many details are revealed by the listings. The two models will arrive with 5G connectivity and will support dual-mode SA/NSA 5G connectivity as well as dual SIM/dual standby.

On the other hand, the two OnePlus models also appear on China’s 3C bearing the same LE2120 and LE2110 model numbers. The listings only confirm the smartphones will come with support for fast charging and may ship with a 65W charging adapter.

We expect TENAA to share further details of the OP9 specs and images of the models as well. Even if that doesn’t happen, March 23 isn’t too far away.

Just to recap, the OnePlus 9 is expected to pack a 6.55-inch FHD+ flat AMOLED top-left punch-hole display with a 120Hz refresh rate and the OP9 Pro features a 6.7-inch screen size. The duo will be powered by Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 888 chipset among other features.

Samsung Galaxy M02 India price hiked by ₹500 a month after its launch

By

Mar 12, 2021

In early February, Samsung launched the Galaxy M02 entry-level smartphone in India. It is a rebranded Galaxy A02, which is available in markets like Thailand. A little over a month after its debut, the company has now hiked its price by ₹500.

Samsung released the Galaxy M02 in two storage configurations. The base variant with 2GB RAM and 32GB internal storage launched at ₹6,999. On the other hand, the higher version with 3GB RAM and 32B internal storage was introduced at ₹7,499.

But now, according to a retail source of 91Mobiles, the South Korean tech giant has hiked the price of this handset by ₹500 for the offline channels. We also found the device to be listed with the increased price tags on both Samsung online store and Amazon India.

Therefore, if you are planning to get this phone, then you will have to spend either ₹7,499 for the 2GB + 32GB model or ₹7,999 for the 3GB + 32GB variant. The new price is applicable to all four colors options, namely Black, Blue, Red, and Gray.

It is weird for Samsung to increase the price of its cheapest smartphone launched in 2021 to date. Last year, the company did the opposite by dropping the price of its most-affordable smartphone (Galaxy M01 Core) just two months after its release.

Samsung brings Android 11 to Galaxy A42 5G, Galaxy M31 gets incremental One UI Core 3.1 update

By

Mar 12, 2021

Samsung launched the Galaxy A42 5G with Android 10 OS out of the box. Now, it is getting the Android 11 update. On the other hand, the Galaxy M31, which was the first budget device to get the Android 11 update, is now getting the incremental One UI Core 3.1.

A new update with firmware version A426BXXU1BUB7 is rolling out to the users of Galaxy A42 5G in the Netherlands. This update brings the latest One UI 3.1 based on Android 11. Also, this is a direct jump from the One UI 2.5. Samsung initially started its Android 11 rollout process with One UI 3.0 on top.

However, it switched tracks to One UI 3.1 after the Galaxy S21 launch. Anyway, the update brings Android 11 features and the latest One UI 3.1 improvements like revamped UI, improved stock apps, One-time permissions and Permissions auto-reset, Dedicated Media Player widget(in Quick settings), and more.

Parallelly, the Samsung Galaxy M31 is getting the incremental One UI Core 3.1. Earlier, the company had rolled out the One UI Core 3.0 along with the Android 11 update to the budget device.

An OTA update with firmware version M315FXXU2BUC1 weighing about 1.193GB in size is now rolling out to the users of Galaxy M31 in India. The changelog says improvements to camera, performance, and security. However, as the UI is now incremented, it should get features like the Galaxy M31s.

It’s worth noting that the updates for both these devices include the latest March 2021 security patch. If you are someone living in either of these regions, do sure to check for the OTA(Over The Air) update by navigating to Settings > Software update > Download and install.

Considering Samsung is in another league when it comes to updating its older devices, this update should expand to other regions in no time.

OnePlus 8T OxygenOS Open Beta 1 released with February 2021 security patches and optimizations

By

-

Mar 12, 2021

OnePlus launched the OnePlus 8T in October 2020. The handset debuted with OxygenOS 11 based on Android 11. Now, almost five months after its release, the phone gets its first-ever OxygenOS Open Beta update.

OxygenOS Open Beta releases, as the name suggests, can be installed by any interested user. All they have to do is download the appropriate file from OnePlus Community and then, head over to Settings > System Updates > Top Right Icon > Local Upgrade and select the downloaded file to install the updates.

This process will not wipe the internal storage. However, when the user rollbacks to the stable channel, that process will delete everything stored in the phone. But it is always advised to create a backup before proceeding either of the processes.

That said, the OnePlus 8T OxygenOS Open Beta 1 update brings optimizations for status bar UI display, frame rate stability in games, community homepage, sunny and cloudy day animations in the Weather app, and cloud service layout in the Gallery app.

Last but not least, the first public beta update for the OnePlus 8T also bumps up the security patch level to February 2021.

OnePlus 8T OxygenOS Open Beta 1 Official Changelog

System
- Optimized the UI display of the status bar
- Optimized the stability of the frame rate and improve its experience while playing games
- Optimized the Community homepage with more noticeable notification
- Updated Android security patch to 2021.02
Weather
- Optimized the animations of sunny and cloudy days for a clearer dynamic display
Gallery
- Optimized the layout of the cloud service in the Gallery for a better operation experience

ASUS ROG Phone 5 bootloader unlock tool & kernel source code out, device gets first OTA update too

Mar 12, 2021

ASUS launched the ROG Phone 5 gaming smartphone series a few days ago. Some of the devices in the series are yet to go on sale but the company has already started rolling out an OTA update. Besides, ASUS has also released the bootloader unlock tool and kernel source code for the 2021 gaming flagship.

ASUS ROG Phone 5 Featured — ASUS ROG Phone 5

The Taiwanese giant has already opened a support page for the ASUS ROG Phone 5 where it has uploaded the Unlock device app and source code of the device. Last year, the company did the same for the ROG Phone 3. Anyway, it’s worth noting that unlocking the bootloader voids the warranty.

Also, you won’t get official OTA updates from the company as before. That said, since the kernel source is out, we can expect popular custom ROMs to appear for the device in the coming months. Not just this, ASUS has also rolled out the first OTA update for the ROG Phone 5.

The base model will go on sale in countries like India only from April 15, and the ‘ROG Phone 5 Pro‘ and ‘Ultimate‘ versions of the devices will subsequently be available from April and May 2021 respectively. With this speed, we expect ASUS to bring fine-tune the device multiple times before it reaches the customer.

Either way, the rollout is staggered and it should reach the devices that are out there(review units) in a few days. This update brings features like new motion control gestures, Esports Mode, and various optimizations. You can look at the changelog below:

Enhanced the advanced settings of system modes in Armoury Crate
Added animation editor for ROG Vision in Armoury Crate. Now supports share and import functions.
Added brand new motion control gestures in AirTrigger 5
Added Esports Mode: A competitive mode tailored for esports competitions in the power button menu screen during gameplay
Added ROG Akira Character theme pack
Added multiple theme packs in cooperated with popular game publishers
Added “Upcoming alarm notification” setting in Clock – Sent out 2 hours before the scheduled alarm.
Optimized Camera user experience
Optimized system stability
Optimized ROG Vision
Optimized charging stability

If you are looking to buy the ASUS ROG Phone 5, you can check out and get it via our GIZTOP for as low as $749. However, if you are confused between the models and can’t decide on your own, you can read our coverage on comparison between the models.

OPPO quietly launches a 45W AirVOOC Wireless Charger

By

-

Mar 12, 2021

Yesterday, OPPO launched the Find X3 series as its latest flagship smartphone series. The two devices in the lineup, namely Find X3 and Find X3 Pro support the company’s 30W AirVOOC wireless charging protocol. However, the firm has quietly listed an even powerful 45W AirVOOC Wireless Charger on Jingdong (JD).

The OPPO ACE2 is the first smartphone to support the company’s AirVOOC wireless charging protocol. Unlike the OPPO Find X3 and the OPPO Find X3 Pro, the ACE2 can charge at a maximum rate of 40W. This handset was announced in April 2020 and it is sold exclusively in China.

In other words, OPPO did not launch any other phone with support for AirVOOC for almost a year. But the firm’s sister brand OnePlus did in the form of the OnePlus 8 Pro. OnePlus calls this protocol ‘Warp Charge Wireless’ and it maxes out at 30W.

Up until now, there were only two chargers to make use of this proprietary charging protocol. The first model is OPPO 40W AirVOOC Wireless Charger, which was announced alongside the OPPO ACE2. Whereas, the second product is the OnePlus Warp Charge 30 Wireless Charger.

1 of 2

This makes the new 45W AirVOOC Wireless Charger the third product to support this charging protocol. But the problem is OPPO does not have a single smartphone compatible with a 45W wireless charging rate. This hints that the company may release a new handset with support for this standard in the near future.

Another possibility is that this same charger could be rebranded with OnePlus branding for the upcoming OnePlus 9 Pro, which is reported to have support for Warp Charge 45 Wireless.

Whatever it may be, we can expect faster wireless charging smartphones from the three Oujia brands (OPPO, OnePlus, realme).

OPPO 45W AirVOOC Wireless Charger Specifications, Features, and Price

As the name suggests, the new OPPO AirVOOC wireless charger can support up to 45W output. However, the maximum speeds are only compatible with devices with AirVOOC tech. Whereas, devices with support for Qi charging protocol are limited to 15W only.

As far as inputs are concerned, this charger can be used with 18W, 20W, and 65W adapters. The maximum wireless charging speed will depend on the adapter used. Also, it is worth noting that the product does not ship with an adapter but it does come with a USB Type-A to Type-C cable.

1 of 2

The charging stand is vertical in design but phones can be placed both vertically and horizontally. Further, the charger will able to charge the phones at the maximum speed with a case that has a thickness of less than 2mm.

It has six protections for over-voltage, under-voltage, over-temperature, over-current, electrostatic, and foreign body detection. Lately, the charger also features a fan to keep the thermals down.

The OPPO 45W AirVOOC Wireless Charger with model number OAWV02 comes only in white color and it is priced at ¥329 ($50) in China. The product should be available for purchase in the coming days.

Apple sues former MacBook designer for allegedly leaking trade secrets to a journalist

By

-

Mar 12, 2021

In what could be a strong evidence of insiders within an organisation leaking confidential and privileged trade secrets for personal gain, Apple has instituted a lawsuit against its former employee, Simon Lancaster. Lancaster who rose to become a highly placed materials lead on the company, is accused of deliberately accessing highly classified information about upcoming products by Apple and selling the information to the media in several instances. The trade secrets were thought to be sold in exchange for favorable coverage of a startup by the unnamed media organisation.

In a case filed by Apple against Lancaster, which was spotted be Apple Insider, the former Apple staff who was an Apple employee from 2008 to 2019, was accused of abuse of his position and trust within Apple by systematically disseminating Apple’s sensitive trade secrets to curry personal benefits from a media outlet. Being a senior official, Lancaster was accused of accessing internal trade secrets from documents outside the scope of his job specification and responsibilities and transferring the same to a media correspondent, who then published the stolen materials in the unnamed media platform in several articles.

Lancaster was further accused of accessing unauthorized Apple trade secrets even after leaving Apple for a materials research and development firm, Arris which was an Apple vendor, in clear breach of the extant agreement between both companies. In the wake of the continued transfer of Apple trade secrets to the media correspondent even after leaving Apple, an investigation ensued with a scrutiny of the devices used by the accused former staff. The investigation revealed that Lancaster indeed took specific steps to steal additional Apple trade secrets after he left the company. He was accused of being in regular communication with the correspondent, and sent specific details upon request, even using Apple-issued devices in some instances.

Apple claimed Lancaster had, through his deliberate actions, breached the Defense of Trade Secret Act, California’s Uniform Trade Secret Act, and a written contract. Apple therefore is requesting the court to grant all the reliefs it has sought, including damages, restitution, and costs of the lawsuit.

Micromax In 1 India launch date is March 19

By

-

Mar 12, 2021

Micromax is gearing up to launch another smartphone in India. The device would be called Micromax In 1 and it will launch in India on March 19.

The company has sent out invites regarding the launch and in the poster, it confirms the moniker as “In 1”. The device will debut on March 19 at 12:00 PM IST and the teaser is already live on its website. Micromax made a comeback into the Indian market last year. It launched the budget-friendly IN Note 1 and IN 1b smartphones.

Although the company’s quirky marketing was criticized, it has been emphasizing a lot on its ‘make in India’ ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat'(self-reliant India). To put things into perspective, Rahul Sharma, the founder of Micromax, has said in a recent interview with CNBC TV18 that the company has invested about INR 500 crores for expansion.

Apart from smartphones, Micromax is focussing on a lot of other verticals like smart home products(Smart TV, ACs), feature phones, etc. Coming back, the information regarding the In 1 smartphone is very less right now. However, a report by The Mobile Indian says that it could be focused on budget gaming.

As per the info available from their sources, the report says that the upcoming Micromax phone will feature a MediaTek Helio G95 chipset. This is a slightly boosted version of the Helio G90 and is found on devices like the realme 7 and the upcoming realme 8.

Even though Rahul hinted at the development of a 5G smartphone recently, we feel that Micromax wouldn’t launch one anytime soon. This means the upcoming smartphone could be a 4G-device which goes in line with the above info.
