Shortly after, Xiaomi had a global launch for the series but with five phones – the Redmi Note 10, Redmi Note 10S, Redmi Note 10 Pro, and the Redmi Note 10 5G.

Xiaomi launched the K40 series in China a few days ago. Soon after that, reports started surfacing that these devices will be rebranded under POCO for the Global markets. Now, kacskrz, an XDA senior member, has found evidences of the devices and it may come to India under the ‘Mi’ branding.
As per the code snippet found by kacskrz, a Xiaomi device with ‘Mi’ branding and ‘Mi 11X‘ market name appears with model number M2012K11AI. Additionally, the codename of the device is shown as ‘aliothin’. In case you don’t know, this model number and codename belong to the Redmi K40(already certified by India’s BIS).
That is, going by the usual naming of Xiaomi, the ‘in’ at the end of ‘alioth’ should indicate that it’s an Indian variant. Similarly, another code reveals a new device called ‘Mi 11X Pro’. If the above guess turns true, then the Redmi K40 Pro should take the Mi 11X Pro naming.
Earlier today, tech influencer Mukul Sharma said that the K40 will be rebranded as POCO for the Global markets. However, it looks like the devices won’t come to India under POCO but debut as Mi 11X, Mi 11X Pro. If that isn’t enough, a third device with the ‘Mi 11i‘ moniker suggests that it could be the rebranded Redmi K40 Pro Plus for Global markets.
The Redmi K40 Pro+ has a codename ‘haydn’ and the corresponding Mi 11i has “haydn_pro”. That said, there is no sign of this launching in India as the Mi 11i codename has “haydn_pro_global” and no ‘in’.
Last month, Manu Kumar Jain confirmed that two Snapdragon 870 and Snapdragon 888 devices are coming to India. If you match it with the above info, it leaves us to believe that the Mi 11 devices for India will be a rebrand of the Redmi K40, K40 Pro from China. Anyway, let’s wait for official info to confirm it.

Samsung announced the Galaxy A02s budget smartphone in late November 2020. The same handset later debuted as Galaxy M02s in India. Now, as per new findings, the device may also launch as Galaxy F02s in the near future.
Samsung Galaxy M02s
The existence of Galaxy F02s is revealed by the phone’s Google Play Console listing. It confirms the handset to be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 SoC coupled with 4GB RAM.
Further, the device will flaunt a display with a resolution of 720 x 1600 pixels (HD+) and 280 DPI. Lastly, on the software front, it will ship with Android 10 (One UI Core 2.x).
All these parameters and the branding suggest it to be a rebadged Galaxy A02s and Galaxy M02s respectively. Hence, we expect the smartphone to retain all the features of the other two.
Also, since the Galaxy F series is exclusive to India, we think it should be only available in the said country. However, a different phone (Galaxy M02s) with the exact specs are already available in the region.
Therefore, the Galaxy F02s could sport a different rear design to differentiate itself. That said, the South Korean tech giant is yet to officially confirm the launch date of this budget smartphone.
What are your thoughts on Samsung releasing the same phone with different names? Do you think the company is following this route because of its Chinese competitors (known for rebranding)? Do let us know in the comment section below.

It will be officially unveiled at the OPPO F19 series launch event, which is scheduled for March 8 at 7 PM.
All three OPPO Band models have the exact same set of specifications. They only differ in terms of design. Hence, the upcoming OPPO Band Style will be similar to the already available OnePlus Band, however, the former will have a floating strap design.
Talking about the specs, the OPPO Band Style will sport a 1.1-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 126 x 294 pixels. The panel will cover 100% of the DCI-P3 color gamut and will be protected by 2.5D curved glass.
Being a fitness tracker, it will come with sensors like an accelerometer, PPG heart-rate sensor, and SpO2 sensor for blood oxygen level monitoring. The Chinese variant has NFC as well as 12 sports modes. But the version releasing in India may not feature NFC and the number of sports modes are a mystery as of now.
But we can expect standard features like weather, app notifications, stopwatch, call & message alerts, alarm, music playback controls, find my phone, and more. Also, it should have support for sleep monitoring and multiple band faces.
Further, it will be powered by OPPO Apollo 3 chip and will be able to connect with both Android smartphones and iPhones via Bluetooth 5.0 using the HeyTap Health companion app.
Last but not least, the OPPO Band Syle will be backed by a 100mAh battery and will charge via a pogo pin connector.
SMIC, China’s largest chip maker, has apparently received a license to import matured process equipment from American firms. The news arrives amid the global chip shortage, which experts believe was further aggravated by the Trump-era regulations.
According to a GlobalTimesreport, the Chinese semiconductor based firm has received license to trade with at least one US based supplier. Although, the government has yet to allow SMIC access to advanced processes like 7nm or below technology. Experts believe that the primary reason for allowing SMIC to import with America is due to the Trump administration’s sanctions disrupting supply chains and even hurting the interests of many local firms.
The report adds that the Chinese chip maker has received access to US licenses to import equipment for use in mature processes, with one US supplier already receiving the license, while two other firms are awaiting approval at the moment. Both companies are also expected to likely receive the license to trade with SMIC as well. Currently, the Chinese tech giant has access to 14nm and above processes and not the 10nm or below processes.
Xiang Ligang, an independent analyst, added that the US will probably gradually ease supply restrictions of chip equipment to China based firms, but are also likely to control the advanced technologies like 7nm or below for a while. Xiang further added that “The US government ban on Chinese semiconductor sector has not only disrupted global semiconductor supply but also hurt the interests of their own companies as well. I believe the Biden administration is moving to correct the situation.”
Lenovo is one of the few popular Android tablet OEMs in the world. The company sells tablets at various price segments, just like Samsung and HUAWEI. It recently launched a premium tablet called Lenovo Tab P11 Pro, which is also known as Lenovo Xiaoxin Pad Pro in China. Now, it looks like the firm will be soon releasing another high-end model called Lenovo YOGA Tab 13.
Lenovo YOGA Smart Tab
The last Lenovo YOGA Android tablet was announced back in September 2019. It was a mid-range tablet called Lenovo YOGA Smart Tab with an entry-level SoC. But this upcoming Lenovo YOGA Tab 13 could be a premium product, as per new findings.
According to Geekbench, the new Lenovo YOGA Tab 13 with model number YT-K606F will be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 SoC coupled with 8GB RAM. The device will run Android 11 and will be capable of scoring around 975 points and 3177 points in single-core and multi-core tests respectively.
Further, the Google Play Console listing reveals it to sport a 2K display with a resolution of 1350 x 2160 pixels and 240 DPI. The listing also exposes a render of the tablet’s front but it does not much about the product’s design. Lastly, going by the name, we can expect it to feature a 13-inch screen.
Nothing else is known about the Lenovo YOGA Tab 13 apart from the above-mentioned parameters. But we can expect to learn about this tablet in the coming days ahead of its official announcement.
The Oppo Find X3 has just been teased earlier today (4th March 2021). The company shared the new teaser poster in its official Weibo account, a Chinese microblogging website, which showcased the device’s camera system.
As per the social media post, the company will be equipping the upcoming handset with dual primary cameras. With the new image poster, the Chinese tech giant also hinted at some of the rear camera modules’ capabilities. The dual image sensor will support 1 billion color depth support, meaning, it can record additional colors with more details. This marks the first step towards a full link 10bit color engine.
Notably, the dual primary lens is both flagship level sensors. In other words, the Find X3 has quite a bit of potential in camera performance. Furthermore, the upcoming device will also be the first to be equipped with the full link 10bit engine, which handles the entire image processing, encoding, decoding, and display. Unfortunately, the smartphone manufacturer refrained from revealing any further details regarding the device, so stay tuned as we will be providing updates when additional information is available.
Earlier today (4th March 2021), Pete Lau, CEO of OnePlus, announced on Weibo, a Chinese microblogging website, that it would launch the upcoming OnePlus 9 series soon but will continue the availability for the previous year’s 8 series flagship lineup as well, to keep up with market demand.
As per the social media post, the senior executive of the Chinese tech giant states that it will launch the latest OnePlus 9 series and will not be discontinuing the 8, 8 Pro, and 8T models, whose stocks will still be continuously maintained for the first half of this year. During this time, the company will also form a product strategy policy with new products that are launching this year to guarantee shipments from both offline and online channels.
For those unaware, this is a change from its strategies from the past where it usually discontinued the past generation lineups after the launch of the latest iteration. In other words, smartphones from two different generation series will be officially sold at the same time, for at least the first half of 2021. Furthermore, the company is expected to launch three models in the 9 series this year along with its first smartwatch.
The company is set to launch the OnePlus 9, 9 Pro, and 9R, with the first two variants being high end flagships while the 9R is a mid range handset. The 9 and 9 Pro will arrive with the Snapdragon 888 SoC and other top notch specs, while the 9R will house a Snapdragon 690 SoC. Unfortunately, it is still unknown when exactly the new flagship smartphones will launch, so stay tuned for more updates.

However, it did not share the exact capacities.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite
The Geekbench 5 appearance of the Galaxy Tab S7 Lite 5G revealed that it is powered by the Snapdragon 750G mobile platform and 4GB of RAM. It is expected to come preloaded with Android 11 OS.
Past reports have claimed that the Galaxy Tab S7 Lite 5G will be sporting a 12.4-inch LCD TFT screen. A feature called Galaxy Continuity will allow users to use the tablet as a secondary display for a Galaxy smartphone. It will be arriving as the successor to the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite, which was announced in April 2020.
The Tab S6 Lite offered users features like a 10.4-inch TFT display, Exynos 9611 chipset, 4 GB of RAM, 64 GB / 128 GB of storage, and a 7,040mAh battery with 15W charging support. For photography, it featured an 8-megapixel rear camera and a 5-megapixel front camera.
A new Sony patent has revealed a bizarre technology that the company might be working on. Apparently, the brand might be working on a banana as a possible PlayStation 5 controller.
According to a GamesRadarreport, the Japanese tech giant has recently a patent for a new controller device. A patent can carry futuristic or interesting never before seen inventions, but this fruity take on a PS5 controller seems a bit out of place. Looking at the image posters provided by the company, the controller appears to be an actual banana as the firm states that “It would be desirable if a user could use an inexpensive, simple and non-electronic device as a video game peripheral.”
The description of the original patent filing also reads the “The present disclosure seeks to address or at least alleviate some of the above-identified problems.” To tackle this issue, the company is working on a solution that will allow “non luminous passive object being held by a user.” This implies that we might be able to see the application of the controller on other objects as well, like a pen, pencil, orange, or even a banana.
Keep in mind, that the patent from Sony doesn’t offer any details regarding this new technology, only offering loose references to items that can theoretically be used as a simple computer. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem like the company is actually working on such a product, but stay tuned for more updates.
Recently, we saw signs of POCO prepping the POCO X3 Pro and POCO F3 smartphones. Today, Indian tech influencer Mukul Sharma has come out with exclusive info regarding their Global launch and specs.
POCO F3 could be a rebrand of Redmi K40(in picture)
Mukul in a Twitter post, says that POCO F3 and POCO X3 Pro Global launch could happen this month, i.e., March. Among these, the POCO X3 Pro is also set to launch in countries like India as per a recent tip by another Twitter user.
To further kindle the rumor of this launch event, POCO Global Spokesperson Angus Kai Ho Ng has already tweeted “March”. Moving on, Mukul says that POCO F3 would be a rebrand of the recently launched Redmi K40 from China.
POCO F3 Specs(Expected)
If this doesn’t ring any bells, the FCC has already certified the POCO F3 and the model number gives away that it is indeed the Redmi K40 rebrand. There are reasons why POCO could have chosen this to be the successor to the POCO F2 Pro. Xiaomi has priced the Redmi K40 aggressively at 1,999 yuan($310) in China.
And for that price, it packs in a 120Hz AMOLED display, Snapdragon 870 flagship chipset, 48MP triple rear cameras, and more. Thus, it makes a perfect combo for becoming a member of the legendary POCO F-series of devices.
POCO X3 Pro Specs(Expected)
Coming back, Mukul also sheds light on the specs of the mysterious POCO X3 Pro smartphone. He says that the device will feature a 120Hz FHD+ display, 5,200mAh battery, Snapdragon 860 chipset.
This is a yet-to-be-released chipset from Qualcomm and rumors say that it could be a boosted version of Snapdragon 855+. Also, the type of the display panel is expected to be an IPS LCD but let’s wait for the official info on that.
POCO garnered a fair bit of attention with the POCO F1 back in 2018. It was the cheapest flagship smartphone with a Snapdragon 845 chipset at that time. After that, the company has launched only a flagship POCO F2 Pro Globally and has been bringing a lot of mid-range and budget devices.
Let’s hope POCO surprises us in 2021 by bringing back the affordable flagship killer hype again.
