Huawei Smart Selection has launched another smart product, an A-level smart table lamp dubbed Darren Smart Table Lamp 2i. The product carries a price tag of 99 yuan (~$15). This launch comes not too long after a smart air purifier was launched by the brand.
The Darren Smart Table Lamp 2i is a new product jointly developed by Huawei Smart Selection and Jiangsu Dalun Electronics Co., Ltd. It is a table lamp which adopts a stylish design and other smart features.
The smart lamp not only has functions such as national A-level illuminance, one-key night light wake-up, intelligent step-less dimming, and no blue light hazard, but also comes with voice control of the desk lamp through Huawei’s smart screen, AI speaker, and voice assistant.
Huawei Smart Select Darren Smart Desk Lamp 2i uses high color rendering lamp beads with low blue light radiation, reaching the high color rendering index of Ra95. The color temperature is controlled at 4000K, reducing blue light to the RG0 non-blue light hazard level. At the same time, the constant current control light technology ensures the stable current, and the large-capacity filter filters out the ripple current that produces the light strobe, and rejects the strobe.
This desk lamp also features innovative side-emitting technology, uniform, and soft light, and the user will not get dazzled when looking directly at the light source, a wide range of light exposure, wide field of vision and no dark areas, color rendering index up to Ra95, high color saturation, learning Work can effectively relieve dry eyes.
In order to take care of the night time, there is also an independent night light, which is turned on with a soft warm yellow light. The light is gentle, comfortable, and not glaring.
Huawei Smart Select Darren Smart Desk Lamp 2i is not only able to adjust the brightness in three levels (dark, medium, and bright) on the touch panel but you can also slide the brightness bar through the Huawei HiLink app to achieve 1-100% brightness step-less adjustment.
Earlier today, Redmi confirmed that it will launch the Redmi 9 Power in India on December 17. The teaser page on Xiaomi’s website teases the device’s power-packed battery, performance, display, camera, and more. While the device is likely a tweaked version of the Redmi Note 9 4G(China), tipster Ishan Agarwal shares an exclusive render of the device.
Redmi Note 9 4G
As reported by 91Mobiles, the tipster shares a rear image of the upcoming Redmi 9 Power. Accordingly, the image shows the rear panel of the Redmi 9 Power in Blue Color. As you can see below, the rectangular camera layout is similar to the Redmi Note 9 4G that launched in China last month. However, it has an additional sensor, unlike the Chinese variant.
This is something we have already reported courtesy of FCC and Google Play Console listings. Consequently, the Redmi 9 Power and other versions(Redmi 9T) will have an additional 2MP macro sensor replacing the ‘AI’ logo on the Chinese variant.
Anyway, the rest of the render shows a ’48MP’, ‘SUPER QUAD CAMERA'(instead of TRIPLE) logo. Additionally, the device’s textured rear panel, LED Flashlight placement are similar to the Chinese variant. As for the rear camera specs, the device will have a 48MP main(wide), 8MP ultra-wide, two 2MP macro and depth sensors.
Redmi 9 Power Specifications
The extra sensor aside, the Redmi 9 Power will mostly be the same as the Note 9 4G in China. It will feature a 6.53-inch IPS LCD FHD+ display, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 662 SoC, 4GB RAM, and 64/128GB storage.
Other specs will include an 8MP selfie shooter, 6,000mAh battery with 18W charging, MIUI 12 based on Android 10 out of the box. Also, the teaser page confirms that Redmi 9 Power will come in Orange, Black, Green colors apart from the Blue render shown above.
The Reno5 series will be getting an additional model in a few weeks according to OPPO. The new model will launch as the Reno5 Pro+ and it will come with the Snapdragon 865 flagship processor.
The Reno5 Pro+ will be the fourth Reno phone to come with a Snapdragon 800 series chipset since the Reno 5G, Reno 10x Zoom, and Reno Ace that were announced last year. The Reno 5G and Reno 10x Zoom are powered by the Snapdragon 855 processor while the Reno Ace launched with the slightly more powerful Snapdragon 855+.
OPPO released a poster showing us what the phone looks like, and it sure looks really nice. The phone will be available in two color variants – black and a color-shifting blue – with a luster-like finish. The front, which is not visible in the image is home to a 6.55-inch AMOLED display with a punch hole and a 90Hz refresh rate.
The Reno5 Pro+ will also maintain the lightweight + slim design of its other siblings. its dimensions have been given as 159.9 x 72.5 x 7.99 mm and its weight is 184 grams.
The phone has four rear cameras, one of which is a periscope zoom lens. It has been reported that the Reno5 Pro+ will come with Sony’s IMX766 50MP sensor as its main camera. It will also have a 16MP ultra-wide camera and a 2MP macro camera. The selfie camera is said to be a 32MP sensor.
Other specs of the phone that have been leaked are a 4500mAh battery and support for 65W fast charging. It should also run ColorOS 11 based on Android 11 out of the box.
We expect the Reno5 Pro+ to be available for pre-order immediately after it launches but we can’t say if it will go on sale before the year ends or in early January 2021.

We might be just a few weeks away from the Xiaomi Mi 11 launch. Ahead of the launch, leaks are floating around on the internet and are building up to the scenario. Recently, we saw leaked images of Mi 11 and protective cases of Mi 11 Pro. Today, an alleged live image of the Mi 11 has appeared online.
Xiaomi Mi 11 render by Benjamin Geskin
As noted by Tipster Abhishek Yadav, a user (@毒舌数码 ) on Weibo has posted what he claims to be the real-life version of the Xiaomi Mi 11. As I write this, the image seems to be removed on the page but the post is still intact. However, thanks to early birds we have the image. Speaking of which, the supposed Mi 11 on the shot is Black in Color.
But it could just be a covering for a prototype or a test model as well. Anyway, the camera module is the elephant in the room. The image shows a similar squircle design with horizontally stacked triple-cameras. There are two big cut-outs and a small one above the LED flashlight. Having said that, let’s reserve our verdict on the authenticity of the Mi 11’s real-life shot till the official launch.

Alleged Mi 11 real-life shot
Although we are devoid of concrete info, leaks say that the camera sensors would be 108MP main, 13MP ultra-wide, and 5MP macro. That said, the Mi 11 is not the only device on the radar of leaks. Xiaomi is likely to follow the predecessor’s trend by launching Mi 11, Mi 11 Pro as a part of the series.
According to Xiaomi, it will be the first to use Snapdragon 888 SoC. The Mi 11 non-Pro is expected to feature an AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, 4,780mAh battery with 55W charging. Considering the device is strongly rumored to go on sale this month with sufficient stocks we wouldn’t have to wait that long to know the official pricing.
Redmi general manager Lu Weibing insists that the demand for small phones has been on the increase in recent years. He also said battery technology needs to advance to deliver the same battery size in a smaller form factor.
Weibing also made some mention of the future of fast charging and LCD-based in-display fingerprint sensors.
Fast-rising Chinese phone maker, Xiaomi has released various competitive devices this year, but smaller phones are not among the devices released so far. Weibing had previously said that the firm wants to build a small phone but that battery capacity will be sacrificed because the technology is yet to achieve longer-lasting batteries for such small phones.
In an interview session with Android Authority, Weibing acknowledged that indeed there is a growing demand for smaller phones. In his comments, he stated that extended battery life is a fundamental requirement for all Redmi smartphones, stressing that the challenge is developing a physically smaller battery with the same capacity as the larger one requires a tremendous breakthrough in battery technology.
In 2017, the Redmi 4X was released with a 4,100mAh battery while the phone was just 5 inches long. However, a greater challenge awaits the firm in this age 5G, with key components and multiple cameras taking up vital space, while 5G and high refresh rate screens require larger batteries too.
A bigger battery usually requires faster-charging speeds to maintain standard fast charging times. Xiaomi indeed launched 120W charging in 2020. But is there a limit to charging speeds? Improved battery technology holds the key, in the words of the Redmi Executive.
Inevitably, with recent tech advancements, low-end phones will soon have fast charging capabilities.
Although Weibing was silent on the kind of charging speeds Xiaomi is expecting for sub-$300 phones in 2021, the company has already revealed several low-budget phones with 30W or higher speeds in 2020, including the Redmi Note 9 Pro series. So it should be expected that fast charging technology may be more prevalent by 2021.
Of course, super-fast charging was not the only technology Weibing has touted in 2020. He also demonstrated in-display fingerprint sensors using LCD screens earlier this year. However, the implementation of technology seems to be stalled at the moment.

OPPO’s Reno series has gotten a refresh six months after the Reno4 series was announced in China. The new Reno5 series was announced in China today and it comes along with a pro model.
Reno5 Series Design
The Reno5 series comes with an upgraded design language. OPPO says the new patented process uses a pyramid-like crystal structure for the glass back panel that gives it an extra shine. They have also added an oleophobic coating to reduce smudges. The Galaxy Dream version of the two phones has a color-shifting feature as a result of the different refractive indexes of the thousands of nano-film coating used. OPPO has also added a fluorescent coating to the top of the phone and the camera housing which absorbs light and then glows in the dark.
Both phones are also light and thin. The Reno5 is 172 grams with a thickness of 7.9mm while the pro model is 173 grams but is thinner at 7.6mm. The Reno5 and Reno5 Pro will be available in Galaxy Dream, Aurora Blue, and Moonlit Night color variants.
Reno5 5G Specs
The Reno5 has a flat 6.43-inch OLED screen with a 2400 x 1080 resolution. The display has a 90Hz refresh rate and a 180Hz touch sampling rate. It has a pixel density of 410 PPI and a peak brightness of 750 nits. There is a hole at the top left corner of the screen for the front-facing camera.
The standard model comes with the same Snapdragon 765G processor as its predecessors – the Reno4 5G and the Reno4 Pro 5G. Buyers will be able to pick up the phone in two configurations – an 8GB RAM version with 128GB of storage and a 12GB RAM version with 256GB of storage. The storage type is UFS 2.1 (dual lane) and there is no support for expansion.
There are four rear cameras on the back of the phone, though we are sure only two of them will get much use. The primary camera is a 64MP f/1.7 sensor with 6P Lens and it comes along with an 8MP f/2.2 ultrawide angle camera, a 2MP f/2.4 macro camera, and another 2MP f/2.4 camera for capturing depth details. The selfie camera is a 32MP f/2.4 sensor. There is no OIS but OPPO claims its electronic image stabilization does a good job.
There are a number of interesting camera features bundled with the phone. You can record from both the front and rear cameras at the same time; live HDR for videos even when recording at night; bokeh videos; and a professional portrait photo tool.
The Reno5 5G has a 4300mAh battery and supports 65W SuperVOOC 2.0 fast charging. It is also backward compatible with SuperVOOC and VOOC 3.0 and has support for 18W power delivery and Quick Charge.
Other features are an in-display fingerprint scanner, support for face unlock, dual SIM card (nano only), Bluetooth 5.1, USB-C, and an audio jack. OPPO ships it with ColorOS 11 based on Android 11.
The Reno5 Pro 5G has a slightly bigger display. It is a 6.55-inch curved OLED panel with the same resolution as the standard variant. It also has a punch hole, a 90Hz refresh rate, and a 120Hz touch sampling rate. Its peak brightness is also much higher at 1100 nits.
OPPO specifically states on the website that the Reno5 phones use displays sourced from different manufacturers, so there may be a difference in the displays of different units due to the varying manufacturing technology. The display supplier is stated on the retail box of the phone.
Unlike the Reno4 Pro 5G that has a Snapdragon 765G processor, the Reno5 Pro 5G is powered by MediaTek’s Dimensity 1000+ processor. It comes in the same configuration as the standard model.
For cameras, OPPO has carried over the exact configuration from the standard model but the 32MP camera has a slightly lower field of view. You also get practically the same camera features.
The Reno5 Pro has multifunctional NFC, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.1, and a USB-C port but skips the audio jack. It has dual SIM support and runs Android 11 out of the box. Its battery capacity is 4350mAh with 65W SuperVOOC 2.0 fast wired charging along with support for the other charging protocols as the standard model.
Price and Availability
The standard model is ¥2699 (~$413) for the 8+128GB version but if you want more RAM and storage, you can pick up the 12+256GB version for ¥2999 (~$458). The Reno5 Pro 5G is priced at ¥3399 (~$519) for the 8+128GB version while the 12+256GB version is ¥3799 (~$580). Both phones will be available for purchase starting December 18 but they can be pre-ordered now.
There is a New Year’s Edition of the Reno5 Pro 5G that has 8GB RAM and 128GB of storage but it will go on sale on December 29.
Finnish company HMD Global Oy which presently holds the license over Nokia smartphones has launched a budget feature phone in the U.S. The phone is the Nokia 225 4G which has earlier been launched in other markets including China and India.
The feature phone is no doubt targeted at first-time pone owners like young children and other individuals who just want something to make and receive calls. It is not targeted at hardcore smartphone users but can be kept as a backup phone.
Speaking concerning the US launch for the Nokia 225 4G, HMD’s Chief Product Officer, Juho Sarvikas stated; “As networks continue to develop, we make it our responsibility to ensure people remain connected, even on the smallest of budgets. By bringing 4G to the Nokia 225 4G without compromising the accessible price point, we take another step towards our mission of providing low-cost access to global connectivity for those who need it the most – the billions of people who remain unconnected. With that in mind, we are building on a winning formula that offers all the essentials with high levels of durability and reliability at an incredible value.”
Talking of the specs, the Nokia 225 4G features a 2.4-inch screen and is powered by a UNISOC processor. It has memory card support that can help users expand the phone’s storage capacity up to 32GB.
The feature phone equally packs a 3-megapixel camera sensor placed on the phone’s back panel. The phone also has a flashlight and supports features like quick dialing, voice recorder, external radio, etc.
The highlight of the phone is that it comes with support for 4G connectivity. The 4G support isn’t limited to a single SIM but the phone can be connected to a 4G network on both the SIM cards simultaneously.
The phone is underpinned by the Unisoc USM9117 chipset which is mated with 128MB of RAM and 64MB of internal storage. It runs the Series 30+ operating system and packs a 1,150mAh removable battery.
On the connectivity front, you get a Micro USB port and Bluetooth 5.0. The phone supports two SIM cards and also features a 3.5mm headphone jack, wireless FM radio, and the classic Snake game.
The Nokia 225 4G is up for grab from the company’s website. It will also be sold by third-party retailers. It carries a price tag of $49 and will be available in Metallic Sand, Black, and Classic Blue.
Vivo launched the Vivo Y12s on November 14. The device is retailing in countries like Hongkong and Vietnam. And now, it has appeared on India’s BIS certification website hinting at an imminent launch.
Vivo Y12s
As tipped by Mukul Sharma, a Vivo smartphone with model number V2026 is listed on the BIS database. Now, if we recall, a device with a similar model number appeared on Google Play Console listing earlier. Later, it turned out to be the Vivo Y12s in Asian markets.
Besides, the device has already been certified by Russia’s EEC, Indonesia’s SDPPI. Among this, the latter even reveals that the model number V2026 belongs to Vivo Y12s. With all this info, we can safely say that the V2026 appearing on BIS is indeed the Vivo Y12s. Although we know that the device retails for around $142 elsewhere, let’s wait for official Indian pricing.
Vivo has just launched the Y51 in India. And it is yet to unveil any details about the Y12s. However, thanks to the earlier launches we know what to expect on the Indian version. Measuring 164.41 x 76.32 x 7.41mm, the device weighs 191 grams and comes in Phantom Black Glacier Blue colors.
The Vivo Y12s from other markets feature a 6.51-inch HD+ display. Accordingly, the display has a resolution of 1600×720 pixels and an aspect ratio of 20:9. Under the hood, MediaTek’s Helio P35 SoC powers the device.
For cameras, we have a rectangular dual-camera on the back with a 13MP f/1.8 lens, 2MP f/2.4 sensor. Upfront, there is an 8MP sensor for selfies. Other specifications of the Vivo Y12s include 3GB RAM, 32GB storage, MicroSD slot, 5,000mAh battery with 10W charging.
The device also has dual-SIM 4G, Wi-Fi 802.11ac, Bluetooth 5.0, GPS, 3.5mm audio jack, and runs Funtouch OS 11 based on Android 10.
boAt is a popular wearable company in India. In fact, it was not only India’s largest wearable brand but also the world’s fifth-largest in Q3 2020, as per IDC. The firm sells a wide variety of audio products and fitness trackers disguised as a smartwatch. It has now launched a new product in the latter category, dubbed as boAt Enigma, priced at ₹2,999 ($41).
The new boAt Enigma features a 1.54-inch square-shaped color screen with support for touch inputs and AOD (Always-on Display). The wearable uses an LCD panel but its resolution is unknown. The material of the body is also a mystery but it could be mostly plastic given its asking price.
Further, the watch comes with a heart rate sensor as well as a SpO2 sensor to monitor blood oxygen levels. It also supports various gestures to wake the watch, click pictures on the smartphone, change watch faces, and increase screen brightness.
Being a fitness tracker, it supports 8 sports activities namely running, walking, climbing, riding, badminton, basketball, football, and table tennis. Additionally, it is also water-resistant up to 3ATM despite it does not tack swimming,
Other familiar features on this product include app notifications, call & SMS alerts, weather, alarm, sedentary alerts, and sleep monitoring.
Last but not least, the boAt Enigma is backed by a 230mAh battery and charges via direct USB (USB Type-A). The company claims up to 10-day battery life and it ships with an extra grey-colored strap, in addition to the stock black color strap.
Yesterday, a leak from India revealed that Samsung will launch the Galaxy S21 series on January 14. According to Samsung Opera House in Bengaluru, India, the device will go on sale from January 29 in India as tipped in earlier reports. Now, the same store has confirmed that the Indian variant won’t feature the Snapdragon 888 SoC, along with the colors of the devices.
Samsung’s flagship retail store has reportedly confirmed to Android Authority that the entire Galaxy S21 series will be powered by the Exynos 2100 chipset in India. However, Samsung hasn’t announced it yet, and is likely to do it on December 15. Early benchmarks reveal a stronger multi-core performance against the Qualcomm counterpart.
However, it’s still a mystery if Samsung‘s processor will surpass Qualcomm in real-world tests. Either way, it is sure to turn eyeballs with a 5nm process and 1+3+4 core arrangement. The cores are likely 1xPrime core clocked at 2.91GHz, 3xPerformance and 4xEfficiency cores clocked at 2.81, and 2.21GHz respectively.
In case you don’t know, Samsung will launch three models of the S21 Series- Galaxy S21 5G, S21+ 5G, S21 Ultra 5G. Anyway, the Galaxy S21 Series will have the following color variants in India:
Galaxy S21– Gray, Pink, Purple, and White.
Galaxy S21 Plus– Silver, Black, Pink, and Purple.
Galaxy S21 Ultra– Black, Silver.
Further, the store has also confirmed the Galaxy S21 Ultra’s camera specs that have already been leaked. Accordingly, the device will have a 108MP main camera, 2x10MP sensors(one will have 10x Zoom), and most likely a 12MP sensor.
The device is reportedly up for pre-orders in the flagship store. Users will have to pay ₹2,000($27) to pre-book an S21 flagship. And after the official announcement, they can select their preferred model. With all these leaks, I guess the only thing that is left to know is the official pricing.
Samsung is expected to unveil the Galaxy M12 and Galaxy F12 budget smartphones very soon. These devices have already leaked multiple times in the past few days. Now, they have also cleared India’s BIS certification. That means their launch could happen anytime now.
As usual, the BIS listing of these handsets does not reveal anything about them, except for their model numbers. The Galaxy M12 will bear the model number SM-M127G/DS, whereas the Galaxy F12 will come with SM-F127G.
Anyway, we were already aware of this, thanks to previous leaks. Also, we know that these phones are one and the same just like Galaxy M21s and Galaxy F41.
For those unaware, the Samsung Galaxy M series of smartphones are exclusive to Amazon and Samsung online store in India. On the other hand, the newly introduced Galaxy F series is exclusive to Flipkart and Samsung online store. These handsets can also be bought from select offline retailers.
So far, the South Korean tech giant has only released a single Galaxy F series phone and it happens to be a rebadged Galaxy M series phone. Hence, some of the upcoming Galaxy M devices have been also certified as a Galaxy F smartphone like the forthcoming Galaxy M12/Galaxy F12.
Having said that, according to previous leaks, these handsets are expected to feature a 6.7-inch punch-hole display, a massive 7,000mAh battery like Galaxy M51, a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, a USB Type-C port, and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
Vivo announced that it had opened its 500th exclusive store in India earlier this week, and plans on taking the total to 650 by the end of next year. These stores are spread across India and cover more than 280 cities in the region.
The vast number of offline stores cover major tier 1, 2, and 3 cities as well, as per a BusinessStandardreport. According to Nipun Marya, Vivo India Director Brand Strategy, “We are pleased to achieve this milestone of 500 exclusive stores in India. We believe that the offline channel is preferred by customers, as they like to experience the product before making a purchase decision. With customer centricity at the center of all decisions, we, at Vivo India, strive to offer our customers unique retail experiences.”
Furthermore, the Chinese tech giant added more than 150 stores in India during the ongoing calendar year, despite facing challenges caused by the coronavirus pandemic. The move from the company arrives as it strengthens its offline presence in the Indian subcontinent. Marya further added that, “The company plans to expand the network to over 650 exclusive stores by 2021, to offer an exclusively delightful retail experience to its customers.”
For those unaware, these Vivo exclusive stores offers customers a live experience of the smartphones and their features. In other words, people can experience gaming on these handsets, use virtual reality, and more in such stores. Vivo is a major player in the Indian market with a 28 percent total market share in the nation. This was backed by its strong offline retail channel, which the company plans on expanding even further.
Chinese company realme currently holds the title of the world’s fastest-growing smartphone brand. Apart from handsets, the firm has been also pushing connected devices for a while now. Earlier this year, the company launched its first smartwatch, dubbed as realme Watch. Last month, the brand debuted the second model called realme Watch S. Now, the company teases to launch the realme Watch S Pro alongside the standard variant in India.
According to IDC, realme was India’s largest smartwatch brand in September with a 22.1% market share. The company achieved this with a single product – realme Watch.
In the same month, the existence of realme Watch S and realme Watch S Pro was confirmed by the firm itself at the IFA 2020 trade show. A few days later, both of them received multiple certifications. And finally, the regular model made its global debut in Pakistan in November
This wearable later made its way to Europe in the same month. Now. it is all set to launch in India alongside the realme Watch S Pro. Since the standard model is official, we know everything about it. But the same cannot be said for the ‘Pro’ variant, which will be releasing first in India.
Anyway, as per FCC, the only major difference between the two is the presence of an OLED display on the Pro model. That said, realme India is yet to reveal the launch date.
Earlier this week, LG Electronics announced that it will collaborate with Assa Abloy to launch new variant of automatic doors that will use transparent OLED display panels. These would likely be used in the commercial sectors.
For those unaware, Ass Abloy is a Sweden based company that makes doors, mechanical door locks, digital door locks and automatic doors as well. The company has supplied its automatic doors across the globe, including airports in London, Spain, and South Korea. So, the partnership with the South Korean tech giant would have it expand on its existing lineup, as per TheElecreport.
The 55 inch LG OLED display panels will be used on these automatic doors. This will allow the doors to display various different messages, building information and even advertisements as well. In other words, this could open a whole new stream of revenue for airports and open another area for companies to advertise their products on.
LG Display transparent OLED Panel in China subway
Since the transparent OLED panels do not require a backlight like an LCD (liquid crystal display) display does, it offers higher transmittance or transparency. Thus, keep on the look out as we may soon see such automated doors with transparent OLED displays around us soon. Currently, no finer details regarding its development is known, neither has the company offered any specifics or roadmaps.
Earlier this month, Huawei unveiled the AntRobot RPA 2.0 (Robotic Process Automation) during its Technical Service Partner Conference. This system arrives as the company pushes towards ‘digital transformation.’
With the new launch, the Chinese tech giant is trying to achieve a more quick and efficient process in multiple areas like customer care and business operations through automation. At the moment, many companies still use manual or labor based repetitive operations to achieve certain tasks. This affects efficiency and the accuracy of the process operation as well. Similar to a human, the RPA logs into the business system and processes data and business flows.
The AntRobot RPA 2.0 can even take away the burden of multiple repetitive operations that are currently being handled manually. It can achieve this and still function 7*24 hours without interruptions and offer great efficiency and accuracy as well. According to a senior official from Huawei, “AntRobot RPA was incubated by Huawei’s Global Technical Services Department (GTS). The original intention was to help front-line technical experts solve the problems of interruption and blockage in the delivery process and IT tools, so that experts can focus on how to better serve operators.”
He further added that “In addition to the telecommunications service field, AntRobot RPA products are also used in Huawei’s manufacturing, supply chain, finance, retail, IT, HR and other departments, effectively supporting Huawei’s digital transformation. RPA is the product of the natural growth of Huawei’s business and the result of its own digital transformation.” In other words, the company aims on bringing automation to handle certain issues in operations better while building a new partner ecosystem as well.
Last year in July, Xiaomi launched an audio product called Mi Neckband Bluetooth Earphones. Now, more than a year later, a higher version of this product with the ‘Pro’ moniker has received Bluetooth certification. Hence, we think that it will be launching in the coming days.
According to the Bluetooth SIG listing (via), the upcoming Xiaomi wireless earphones will be called ‘Mi Neckband Pro’. Going by its name, we expect to be an advanced model of the regular Mi Neckband.
Unfortunately, the listing does not reveal much about these earphones. Because it only mentions the support for Bluetooth 5.0 as well as SBC and AAC audio codecs. Further, as an added bonus, it will be also IPX4 certified for water-resistant.
Therefore, the reason behind the ‘Pro’ branding is a mystery for now. That said, normally, earphones with the Pro moniker come with ANC (Active Noise Cancellation). If it happens to have this feature, then these new pair of earphones from Xiaomi will compete with the realme Buds Wireless Pro.
Anyway, this is just speculation from our end and hence, consider it with a pinch of salt. Having said that, since the product has cleared certification, it could be announced soon. Moreover, we may learn everything about this product before its launch from leaks and teasers.
HMD Global is reportedly working on the launch of the Nokia 5.4 mid-range phone.
