The Vivo V20 Pro 5G smartphone is expected to go official in the first week of December. A recent claimed that the company may announce it on Dec. 2. Ahead of the launch, the registrations of the Vivo V20 Pro 5G has begun.
There is a landing page of the Vivo V20 Pro 5G on Amazon India. It showcases the smartphone in Midnight Jazz and Sunset Melody colors. Some of the key features that are mentioned in the listing include 5G support, Snapdragon 765G SoC, and a 7.39mm slim body. There is a ‘Notify Me’ button on the page to stay updated on the arrival of the Vivo V20 Pro 5G.
The Vivo V20 Pro 5G landing page on Vivo India’s website mentions the capabilities of its front and rear cameras. The ‘Stay Notified’ button can be hit to know more about its launch.
The Vivo V20 Pro 5G pre-orders have reportedly started in the offline markets in India. It is speculated that the handset will be landing in the country with a price tag of Rs 29,990 (~$406). The Chinese firm is expected to confirm its launch date soon.
The Vivo V20 Pro 5G has an AMOLED display of 6.44 inches. It supports 1080 x 2400 pixels Full HD+ resolution, a 20:9 aspect ratio, and it is integrated with a fingerprint scanner. The Snapdragon 765G chipset is coupled with 8 GB of LPPDR4x RAM.
The handset has an internal storage of 128 GB and it is preinstalled with FunTouch OS 10 based Android 11 OS. The device is backed by a 4,000mAh battery that supports 33W fast charging.
The wide notch on the phone’s display has a 44-megapixel main selfie snapper and an 8-megapixel ultrawide lens. The backside of the device features a triple camera system that includes a 64-megapixel main shooter, an 8-megapixel superwide lens, and a 2-megapixel mono sensor.
Vivo is gearing up to launch the Vivo V20 Pro 5G smartphone in India. Speculations have it that the handset may go official on Dec. 2 in the country. While Vivo fans are waiting for the smartphone, a new report by 91mobilesclaims that the company has already started working on the Vivo V21 series. The publication claims that the company may unleash the V21 lineup in February 2020.
The Vivo V20 series includes three phones such as the Vivo V20, Vivo V20 SE, and Vivo V20 Pro. It is unclear how many phones belong to the V21 series. Based on the Vivo V20 series, the publication has speculated that the lineup may include phones like the Vivo V21, Vivo V21 SE, and Vivo V21 Pro. At present, there is no information available on the specs of the Vivo V21 series.
To recall, the Vivo V20 went official in October in India and the sales of the Vivo V20 SE began in November. The V20 Pro 5G will go on sale in December in the country. Hence, the three phones of the Vivo V21 series may not go official at the same time.
The Vivo V20 went official around five months after the launch of the Vivo V19. Hence, there is a possibility that the first V21 handsets may break cover by February. It may take a month or two more to launch other V21 series smartphones.
Those who are waiting for the Vivo V20 Pro 5G can pre-order it through offline stores. The handset is expected to arrive with a price tag of Rs 29,990. The key features of the phone include a 6.44-inch FHD+ AMOLED display, Snapdragon 765G, 44-megapixel dual selfie cameras, 64-megapixel triple rear shooters, and a 4,000mAh battery with 33W fast charging support.
The Galaxy Z Flip and Galaxy Z Flip 5G both launched this year as Samsung’s vertically folding smartphones. Next year, Samsung is expected to launch another model which will arrive as the Galaxy Z Flip 3.
If you are wondering why it is arriving as the Galaxy Z Flip 3 and not Galaxy Z Flip 2, our guess is that they want the naming to sync with that of the next Galaxy Z Fold which will launch as the Galaxy Z Fold 3. Expected to launch in the summer of 2021, some key specs of the Galaxy Z Flip 3 have now been leaked.
The source of the leak is Chun (@chunvn8888), the Vietnamese leaker, and most of the details he revealed focus on the display of the upcoming foldable phone.
According to his tweet, the Galaxy Z Flip 3 will have a 6.9-inch screen with thinner bezels and a smaller hole punch. The first-gen Galaxy Z Flip has a 6.7-inch screen and a 60Hz refresh rate but its successor will pack a slightly larger display that has a 120Hz refresh rate.
New UTG Much better durability Let's see if these can aged well but basically confirmed what I said before and yesterday Korean media report
Earlier reports have stated that the next-gen Galaxy Z Flip will have a larger outer display but the exact screen size is still unknown. Chun says that the outer display will be 2 to 3 times the size of the first-gen model, which means the screen should be between 2.2 inches and 3.3 inches. Ross Young, the founder of DisplaySearch revealed earlier this month that the outer screen will be smaller than that of the Motorola Razr whose outer screen measures 2.7 inches.
Rounding off details of the display, the leak says that the phone will feature a new UTG (ultra-thin glass) and have better durability.
Another key info revealed in the leak is the battery capacity which is stated as 3900mAh. The real capacity is expected to be smaller, between 3700mAh to 3800mAh. Fans of the Flip series will appreciate the increase in battery capacity from the 3300mAh inside the Galaxy Z Flip.
There is no mention of the camera specs and RAM and storage configuration. There is also no mention of the processor. While folks expect a Snapdragon 875 processor, there is no saying that Samsung won’t surprise us and launch it with an Exynos processor in select markets. Its upcoming Exynos 2100 is said to be more powerful than Qualcomm’s flagship chipset and if Samsung is confident in its chipset, no one can stop them from putting it inside the Galaxy Z Flip 3.
While this should already be known with unverified leaks, we advise that the above details should be taken with a pinch of salt.
TENAA has now uploaded the images of the purported Reno5 Pro 5G which actually appears under the model name OPPO PDSM00 / PDST00. We can’t clearly make out the full features of the display but it seems to have a curved edge display. The phone is likely coming with a notch-less design, perhaps a hole-punch design.
The rear aspect is fairly visible, showing that the device will feature a Quad camera setup stacked in a vertically aligned module at the back. The listing shows the camera sensors include a 64MP main sensor as well as an 8MP ultrawide camera and two 2MP sensors, likely for macro and depth photography.
The TENAA listing also shows the Reno5 Pro 5G will feature a 6.55-inch AMOLED display with an FHD+ resolution of 2400×1080 pixels. The phone has a dimension of 159.7×73.2×7.6mm and weighs 173g. The device will also pack a 4,250mAh battery.
In other aspects, Oppo is also said to be working on three Reno5 devices which include the Reno5, Reno5 Pro and a third model which may likely be dubbed Reno5 Pro Plus. One of the models will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G chipset while the Pro model will be powered by the Dimensity 1000+ chipset and the third is rumored to feature a Snapdragon 865 chip.
OPPO is expected to announce the Reno5 series pretty soon considering the steady influx of leaked details and rumours concerning the series.

At IFA 2020 in September, TCL announced the MOVEAUDIO S200 TWS earbuds. The earbuds launched for €99 and come in white, black, and a third colorway with a blue case but white earbuds. TCL has now announced a more affordable model called the MOVEAUDIO S150.
The new earbuds are priced at $39.99 and are available right away on Amazon. They have a semi-in-ear design that provides a comfortable and secure fit and each one comes with a 13mm driver and a titanium diaphragm. TCL says you can choose to use the earbuds as a pair or as a single unit. It supports fast pairing and has a 120 ms low-latency transmission.
The earbuds are sweat and water-resistant and connect via Bluetooth 5.0. The battery capacity for each earbud is 30mAh and it will provide up to 3.5 hours of listening time (2.5 hours for calls). With the case which has a 500mAh battery capacity, the battery life goes up to 20 hours. It charges via USB-C and TCL says that a 15-minute charge will provide up to an hour of playtime.
The MOVEAUDIO S150 supports touch controls. A long press on the stem of each earbud rejects calls while double-tap answers or ends a call. You can also long-press on the right earbud to switch to the next track or long-press on the left earbud to switch to the previous track. A double-tap on the right earbud will pause or resume playback while a double tap on the left earbud will call up Siri or the Google Assistant.
At $39.99, the TCL earbuds have a lot to offer. However, what makes it even more compelling to buy is that Amazon is offering an extra 30% off with the use of a coupon. That brings the price down to $27.99. The only downside is that the earbuds are only available in white.
Counterpoint Research has released a report on Canada Smartphone Market Q3 2020. According to it, the market grew 13% YoY, Apple and Samsung accounted for 86% of the entire sales, and carriers pushed more 5G devices.
Due to pent-up demand and back-to-school promotions, smartphone sales increased in the third quarter of 2020 in Canada. Online sales continued to remain strong despite consumers having begun to visit brick and mortar stores.
Talking about brands, Apple was the market leader with a 56% sell-through market share, followed by Samsung with a 33% share. The American tech giant’s sales improved by 7% YoY even though the iPhone 12 series launched in October. On the other hand, the South Korean tech giant grew by 21% YoY.
Apple captured six spots in the top 10 best-selling devices list and iPhone 11 continued to be the market’s best-seller. Whereas, the remaining four places were acquired by none other than Samsung. Further, LG, Google, and Motorola came third, fourth and fifth with 4%, 3%, and 3% sell-through market shares respectively.
Galaxy S10 series, Galaxy S20 series (including Galaxy S20 FE), Galaxy A51, LG Velvet 5G, LG K51, LG K41S, Pixel 4a, and Moto E (2020) were some of the best-performing smartphones.
Lastly, the number of 5G models increased from 3 in March 2020 to 14 in November 2020. Although most of them are premium handsets, active 5G devices crossed half a million figure in Canada, as of October.
Gone are the days in which Apple would launch just one iPhone a year. The recent lineups from the Cupertino giant contain several models, including those variants for those who do not want to spend the highest amount of money possible on a phone. For example, after the release of the iPhone 12, Apple decided to keep the vanilla iPhone 11 available and it became more affordable thanks to an official price drop and street prices. But is it enough to let this phone be more attractive than Android flagship killers? This comparison between iPhone 11, OnePlus 8T, and Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro will give you an idea.

Design
The iPhone 11 has a beautiful design, but that big notch makes it look a bit outdated if we compare it to Android handsets. The OnePlus 8T has a more modern look with its borderless display and punch-hole design. Further, it has a slightly lighter body. But I still prefer the iPhone 11 for a few reasons: first of all, it is the only waterproof phone of this trio. With its IP68 certification, it is dustproof and waterproof up to 2 meters deep. The iPhone 11 is built with 7000 series aluminum and it is sturdier than its rivals. Last but not least, it is a lot more compact thanks to its smaller display.
Display
The most stunning display of the trio belongs to the OnePlus 8T: it is the only one to feature an OLED panel, while iPhone 11 and Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro have IPS displays. The OnePlus 8T also offers the HDR10+ certification, an in-display fingerprint scanner, and a 120 Hz refresh rate. The Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro has an even higher 144 Hz refresh rate, but it has an IPS panel and that is the reason why it looks less impressive. The iPhone 11 has an IPS display as well, but it provides a very nice color reproduction and it is one of the best IPS panels out there. However, it lacks a high refresh rate just like all the other iPhones.
Hardware/Software
With all of these phones, you get amazing performances. The iPhone 11 sports an older Apple A13 Bionic chipset, but thanks to the optimization of iOS, it is incredibly fast and smooth. We can tell you the same about the OnePlus 8T and the Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro, both powered by the Snapdragon 865 mobile platform. OnePlus 8T is actually superior because it provides up to 12 GB of RAM, while Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro stops at 8 GB. Further, the OnePlus 8T ships with Android 11 out of the box, while Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro is still based on Android 10.
Camera
The Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro sports the best main sensor for the rear camera and it is able to provide a better photo quality with its 108 MP resolution and OIS. It also sports an ultrawide 13 MP lens and a 5 MP dedicated macro camera, as well as the support of 8K video recording. The iPhone 11 has just two cameras on the rear side, but it is still an amazing camera phone with its 12 MP sensors and a great algorithm. OnePlus 8T is a good camera phone as well with its 48 MP quad camera. However, none of these devices is among the very best camera phones out there.
Battery
The Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro is actually able to offer the longest battery life thanks to its bigger 5000 mAh battery. The OnePlus 8T comes right after and it charges faster with its 65W fast charging technology. The iPhone 11 has a smaller battery but it supports wireless charging.
Price
iPhone 11 carries a €719/$599 starting price, while OnePlus 8T and Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro start from €599/$715. The OnePlus 8T is my favorite device of this comparison because of its AMOLED display, Android 11 out of the box, and faster charging. But some may prefer the iPhone 11 due to iOS, its amazing camera, compact body, and wireless charging. Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro lets you save more money because it is easy to find it for less than €500 thanks to online street prices.
In an unfortunate move, Samsung had to suspend the One UI 3.0 Beta update for the Galaxy Z Fold2. The update, which started rolling out today in South Korea, apparently locked the users on the lock screen and didn’t let them go beyond.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold2 5G Mystic Bronze
The issue, as reported by Tizenhelp(via Sammobile), popped up on the Samsung Community forums in South Korea soon after it rolled out. Accordingly, the new One UI 3.0 Beta update for Galaxy Z Fold2 with firmware version F916NKSU1ZTKB came with a serious bug. After updating, users tried to unlock the device with a password, fingerprint, or other method but it became useless. If you recall, Samsung had to postpone the Beta update for other devices following issues with battery and performance on the Galaxy Note 10.
Only a couple of days back, the company had resumed the One UI 3.0 Beta program starting with Galaxy Z Flip. Consequently, it became the first foldable device to get the One UI 3.0 Beta based on Android 11. While we thought Samsung must have fixed the issues on the previous instance, it seems the update for the next foldable device brings different issues.
Samsung confirmed the OneUI 3.0 based on Android 11 back at the event on August 5. The beta program began after the initial developer build. And the company is trying to hit the target right and reportedly has a vision to bring it close to 90 devices. Anyway, the public final version will likely roll out before 2020 ends.
That said, Samsung has reportedly rolled back the update before it affects a large audience. In any case, if you are someone who is living in South Korea and you have accidentally updated it, one way out is “Factory reset”. However, if you haven’t updated your foldable yet, we suggest you to avoid it and wait till Samsung fixes the issue.
In similar news, the company has reportedly started rolling out the One UI 3.0 Beta update to the yesteryear flagships like Galaxy S10, S10+, S10e in countries like India, UK, and South Korea. To try it out, open Samsung Members App and click on the One UI banner. Then, signup for the program and then install it via Settings->Software Updates->Download and Install.

Samsung Chromebook 4+
The Samsung Chromebook 4 and Samsung Chromebook 4+ have similar specs except for display and build. The non-plus model sports a plastic body with an 11.6-inch HD (1366 x 769 pixels) display (LCD), whereas the plus model flaunts an aluminum + plastic body with a larger 15.6-inch FHD (1920 x 1080 pixels) display (LCD).

Talking about connectivity and I/O, these notebooks come with dual-band WiFi, Bluetooth, 1 x USB Type-C (non-plus), 2 x USB Type-C (plus), 1 x USB Type-A 3.0, 3.5mm headphone jack, and a microSD card slot. Other features include a 720p webcam, 2 x 1.5W speakers, a single microphone with support for Google Assistant, and a 39WHr battery.
Lastly, the regular model measures 287.9 x 202.3 x 16.7mm in dimensions and weighs 1.18kg. On the other hand, the plus model weighs 1.69kg and measures 359.7 x 245.2 x 16.5mm in dimensions.
At CES 2020, Samsung announced NEON, a product which it calls an Artificial Human. A description on the official website says it is a “computationally created virtual being that looks and behaves like us”. Now, it has been revealed that NEON will be available on smartphones before the end of the year.
The announcement was made on Twitter by Pranav Mistry, the CEO of STAR (Samsung Technology and Advanced Research) Labs. The computer scientist had shared photos of NEON Frame, the life-size immersion portal that “brings NEON into the real world”.
Then a question from Ice Universe, the popular Samsung leaker asking if NEON can be used on phones prompted the CEO to reveal that it is already available on his phone in testing and should be available before Xmas.
It is already on my phone. In Testing phase. You get to see it before Xmas.
NEON View is the version of the virtual assistant coming to mobile devices. The assistant will be able to learn skills and form memories, and unlike current AI assistants, this one has a face and will be able to converse and show emotions like a human.
NEON can be programmed to do a variety of things. According to details on the official website, NEON can be a teacher, a yoga instructor, a narrator, a reporter and so much more. A CNET interview early this year with Pranav Mistry said that the virtual assistant won’t be a replacement to Bixby or any other AI assistant available at the moment. It won’t come shipped with Samsung phones either even STAR Labs the business is funded by Samsung.
It is not very clear how NEON will work on devices but more details should surface when we see it make its appearance on mobile before the end of the year.
Established Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi Corp chairman and CEO Lei Jun has said that the company sees the huge potential of conversion of feature phone users in India, mainly at the rural areas, to smartphones which would boost the growth of the company in the country over the next five years.
Addressing analysts during the company’s July-September quarter earnings presentation on Tuesday, Jun said the Indian smartphone market is estimated at about 300 million units per year with about half of these being feature phones. He stressed that the company will continue on the path of innovation in carving a niche for the Indian market by producing affordable and high-performance smartphones.
Jun said Xiaomi will expand their sales network down to the countryside and villages so that consumers in these areas are equipped with mobile internet which would almost certainly bring change to their lives for the better. “This is our plan. So overall, I think…we’re very, very optimistic about the future growth for the next maybe five years,” he said.
Xiaomi chalked up a 55% growth in revenue in the third quarter this year as compared to its performance last year.
Jun said Xiaomi will aim to sustain its leading position in the smartphone segment of the Indian market which has been for more than 4 years. He said the Indian market is now equally divided between online and offline channels with each contributing an equal proportion of the sales. He thus stated that Xiaomi wants to be successful in India hence would continue its drive for hitting a previously untapped customer base.
“Right now, we have established a system to cover the major markets, including Europe, Latin America, Middle East, and Southeast Asian countries, and India,” Jun stated.
The Xiaomi chief executive said the company is seeing a global rebound in sales in Q3 in the aftermath of the adverse impact on businesses in the first half of the year due to the coronavirus pandemic. He also noted that the company experienced tough challenges in supplies due to supplier shortage.
“So we are closely monitoring the status of the pandemic in Europe, in India,” he said. The company is optimistic of a more productive 2021, with the possible rollout of vaccines for Covid-19.
Xiaomi has 20,881 full-time employees of which 19,319 (about 93%) are based in mainland China mainly in its Beijing headquarters, with India and Indonesia accounting for the rest employees (about 7%). (source)
The hearbale market continues to gain ground around the world. In India, the growth of the market has been very amazing. Counterpoint’s IoT service market research shows that India’s TWS market grew by a massive 723% YoY in Q3 2020.
Counterpoint‘s market data shows that the hearable segment is one of the few sectors which weren’t affected by economic slowdown occasioned by the COVID 19 pandemic. Instead, the segment reached its highest ever shipments growth in India for a single quarter.
In terms of the individual performance, Indian electronics manufacturer boAt emerged as the No. 1 brand with an 18% share of the market. boAt expaned its portfolio and launching many devices across price tiers during the quarter. boAt’s Airdopes 441 model is ranked as the second best selling earbuds in the third quarter. The earbud’s success is likely connected to its affordable pricing and impressive features like water resistance, better sound quality, USB Type-C charging and up to 25 hours of battery life.
Chinese tech giant Xiaomi retains its second spot in Q3 2020 with 16% share of the market. However, Xiaomi’s latest Redmi Earbuds 2C emerged as the top-selling model in the initial quarter of launch, thanks to the promotional price of INR 999 and better features, including improved call quality, comfortable fit and multi-function button.
boAt’s gain is Realme‘s loss as it dropped to the third spot with 12% market share. Realme’s decline in the wearable segment may be as a result of a lack of new product in the quarter under review. Tdespite that, the Realme Buds Q and Buds Air Neo still retained their spots in the top 5 list for best-selling models.
JBL stayed strong in the fourth position despite having an 8% share in Q3 2020. This is lower compared to the 15% market share raked in in Q2 2020. This is likely due to increased competition and the availability of cheaper options which offer impressive sound quality.
Finally, Apple managed to make it into the top 5 ranking with 6% share. The AirPods (2nd Gen) model also made the cut for the top 5 list for model shipments.

Whereas, the back of the device houses a vertically aligned triple camera setup consisting of a 48MP primary sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide unit, and a 5MP depth sensor.
As for the build, the handset features a glass sandwich design with a metal frame. It is also IP65-certified for dust and water resistance. Unlike most phones in the market, it also sports a 3.5mm headphone jack and supports Dolby Atmos.

Last month we saw a rumor roundup for the upcoming Redmi Note series in China. While we thought it could be the Note 10 series, subsequent leaks led us to believe that it should be the Redmi Note 9 series. Later, Xiaomi themselves confirmed that the series will indeed darn the ‘Note 9’ moniker. The company will launch three new smartphones in China tomorrow (November 26). Ahead of this, let’s look at the expected specifications, price of the devices.
Redmi Note 9 Series China- What’s New
Xiaomi has indirectly confirmed that the Note 9 series in China will have three devices. Multiple posters and invites shared by the company has a “three musketeers” slogan indicating the same. Accordingly, the company will unveil two 5G devices- Redmi Note9 5G and Redmi Note9 Pro 5G.
Although the company is teasing the devices with the “Note 9 Series” tagline, hints on the Jingdong listing suggests that there won’t be any spacing between the name and number. Anyway, the third device is likely a 4G variant with Redmi Note9 4G moniker.
Precisely, 5G and Camera are expected to be the big upgrades for the Note 9 series in China. As usual, you can expect 2020 hype-trains like the high-refresh-rate screens, bigger camera sensors, faster charging, at least on the higher variant.
Redmi Note9 Pro 5G Specifications(Expected)
The highest variant of the series is likely the Redmi Note9 Pro 5G(M2007J17C). Earlier leaks said that the device will be a tweaked version of the Xiaomi Mi 10T-Lite. Accordingly, Redmi’s official teaser images show a similar design with Mi 10T Lite’s Rose Gold Beach, Atlantic Blue, and Pearl Grey colors.
Besides, leaked information so far shows that the device will retain the majority of the Mi 10T Lite’s specs. The Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G will likely feature a 6.67-inch IPS LCD FHD+ 120Hz display, Snapdragon 750G chipset, a 4,820mAh battery with 33W fast charging. Further TENAA listings also reveal that the device will measure 165.4 x 76.9 x 9mm and weigh 214.5 grams.
However, the significant difference is said to be the main camera. It is expected to the first Redmi smartphone to sport a 108MP camera sensor instead of 64MP on the Mi 10T Lite. For Selfies, it will likely have a 16MP sensor under the centered punch-hole. Other features likely are 6/8/12GB RAM, 64/128/256GB storage, stereo speakers, 3.5mm audio jack, NFC, IR blaster, and Z-axis linear motor.
Redmi Note 9 5G will likely be a slightly watered-down sibling(M2007J22C) in terms of Camera, fast charging measuring 161.96 x 77.25 x 9.2mm and weighing 200 grams. That said, TENAA renders showed that the device will have a similar rear panel as Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G but a top-left punch-hole display.
Talking about specs, it is likely to feature a 6.53-inch IPS LCD FHD+ display, MediaTek Dimensity 800U SoC, 48MP triple camera setup, 13MP punch-hole selfie camera, MIUI 12 based on Android 10. Other expected features are 4GB/6GB/8GB RAM, 64GB/128GB/256GB internal storage, NFC, a 5,000mAh battery, and 22.5W fast charging.
As for the 4G variant of the Redmi Note 9, the TENAA listing shows similar specs to the recently launched POCO M3. It measures 162.29 x 77.24 x 9.6mm and weighs 196g. However, the images show that the device doesn’t have the big black housing around the camera and leather-like finish of POCO M3.
Anyway, Xiaomi surprisingly hasn’t revealed anything about the device yet. That said, the device will likely feature a 6.5-inch FHD+ display, Snapdragon 662 SoC. As for the optics, For cameras, it will likely have a 48MP main lens, two 2MP sensor on the rear, and an 8MP selfie shooter.
Other specifications expected are 4/6/8GB RAM, 64/128/256GB storage, side-mounted fingerprint sensor, 4G, USB-C port, 6,000mAh battery with 22.5W fast charging but the POCO M3 only has 18W charging support.
Redmi Note 9 Series: Expected Price
The Redmi Note 9 Series in China is expected to start at 1,000yuan($152). Precisely, leaks say that the 4G variant will start around 1,000yuan. However, the Note9 5G will likely start slightly about the 1,000yuan mark and the Note9 Pro is expected to be around 1,500yuan($228.5).
If that happens, Redmi Note9 Pro 5G will be one of the cheapest 108MP camera smartphones out there. Anyway, let’s wait for the official pricing as the event is scheduled for tomorrow at 20:00 China time.

In early October, Realme announced a handful of new IoT and lifestyle products in India and one of them is the N1 Sonic Electric Toothbrush.
The toothbrush was announced in White and Blue color variants but it appears only the former has been available for purchase until now. Realme has announced that the toothbrush is now available in blue. The announcement was made earlier today by the Realme Link Twitter account.
The blue-tiful colour variant of your favourite realme N1 Sonic Electric Toothbrush is up for grabs! Buy yours today and get ready for #EveryDayBetterCleaning.
The new blue variant will sell for the same ₹799 (~$11) price tag as the white version and can be purchased on the Realme India website.
The N1 Sonic Electric Toothbrush comes with DuPont antibacterial bristles with blue bristles which remind you to change the head when their color fades. It has three cleaning modes – soft mode for sensitive teeth, a clean mode for daily use, and a polish mode for shinning teeth. It also has a memory function that remembers the last mode you used and a 30-second interval reminder that tells you to switch to a different area.
It is powered by a high-frequency sonic motor that can vibrate up to 20,000 times per minute. There is an 800mAh battery inside the toothbrush that will last up to 130 days on a single charge if you brush twice a day for 2 minutes each time in soft mode. Realme has also added a USB-C port at the bottom for charging with over-voltage and over-charge protection.
While it sure is good news to know that you can pick up the toothbrush in a new color, Realme has failed to list replaceable heads on the site, instead, it says that it can be purchased at authorized service centers. Sure, offline availability is great but listing it online is very necessary. There are folks who want to purchase the toothbrush with extra heads right away, why make them go to a store to do that?
