The company has confirmed that a virtual pop-up event of OnePlus 8T will take place on October 14 at 8:20 PM IST on its 3D virtual reality platform OnePlus World. Furthermore, a new leak reveals the camera details of OnePlus 8T. As per Mukul Sharma(Twitter: @stufflistings), OnePlus 8T will have a 48MP Sony IMX586, 16MP wide-angle, 5MP Macro, and a 2MP black&white sensor on the back. On the front, it will have a 16MP Sony IMX471 sensor for selfies. And regarding the price, tipster Ishan Agarwal has leaked the sale date(October 17), and the prices of OnePlus 8T as below:
8GB/128GB- ₹42,999(~$587)
12GB/256GB-₹45,999(~$628)
Original Story(October 10)
OnePlus’ next flagship, the OnePlus 8T is just around the corner. Ahead of its launch, let us look at the already confirmed and other expected specifications along with the price for the device.
OnePlus began teasing the 8T a few weeks ago. The device will debut in India on October 14 at 7:30 PM IST and October 15 in China. The event will be streamed live via its official website. In terms of design, the device adopts a flatter display like the OnePlus 7T. This is understandable considering there isn’t an 8T Pro this time and the 8T will likely succeed the 7T and equate OnePlus 8 in features.
OnePlus 8T Design, colors
Design-wise, it will likely to have a sandwich of Corning’s Gorilla Glass 6 to be on the display and rear-panel with a metal frame inside. We can expect it to be structurally sound and water-resistant with an IP68 rating. The display will be flat and host a single punch-hole at the top left. The power button and OnePlus slider will be on the Right, and volume buttons to the left. Also, it will mostly have a thickness of 8.4mm without a camera and a whopping 9.3mm thanks to the bulging rear-camera cut-out that is flaunted in official renders.
The official render shows a rectangular camera layout on the back 4 cameras and LED flash. While this shape looks like its borrowed from Samsung, the rounded edges make it more subtle. And, for the color variants, it will come in Aquamarine Green and Lunar Silver options thanks to tipster Ishan Agarwal.
OnePlus 8T Specifications
Starting with display, OnePlus has confirmed that the device will have a 120Hz refresh rate screen. The device will feature a 6.55-inch AMOLED display with 2.5D curved glass. Its peak brightness will be 1,100 nits, covers 100% DCI-P3 color gamut, 0.3 JNCD(color difference), and a screen-body ratio of 91.9%. Powering the device will most likely be the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 SoC, paired up to 12GB RAM and 256GB storage.
As for the optics, leaks say that OnePlus will sport the 48MP f/1.8 Sony IMX 586 sensor with OIS, EIS. Moving on, OnePlus has recently shared ultra-wide samples on the rear-camera confirming the presence. The samples show that the wide-angle lens can show its prowess in Night light too. That said, the other sensors probably are 16MP f/2.2 ultra-wide with 116˚ FOV, 5MP macro, and 2MP depth sensor. Sadly, it will drop the Telephoto lens from the 7T. For selfies, OnePlus has already confirmed that the device will have a wide-angle lens for selfies. And, if reports are true it will have a 16MP sensor. We can expect camera features like Nightscape, PDAF, steady-video, 4K recording, and more.
Other specifications include a 4,500mAh battery with 65W Warp Charging probably with a Type-C to Type-C connectivity, in-display fingerprint scanner, and 45W PD charging. The device will also come with OxygenOS 11 based on Android 11 out-of-the-box.
Expected Price, and Availability
The OnePlus 8T is expected to be priced at $599 for 8/128GB and $699 for 12/256GB variants. However, OnePlus can vary it across regions as it usually does. That said, the device will be officially sold via OnePlus’ website, Amazon, and its offline stores. However, Let’s wait for the official details on availability until next Wednesday.
Xiaomi announced the MIUI 12 custom ROM in late April and since then, it has continuously pushed the update to several of its smartphones by way of beta and stable builds. But there are still a couple of models that are yet to get either the beta or stable build of MIUI 12. The latest report is that the company will soon start pushing the MIUI 12 to the Redmi 9, Redmi Note 9S and Note 9 Pro which happen to be among the models that are yet to get the MIUI 12 update.
It was reported earlier on that the MIUI 12 update for the Redmi Note 9 Pro will be rolled out in October. But the latest information available is that the MIUI 12 update is scheduled to roll out for Redmi Note 9S, Redmi Note 9 Pro (global), and Redmi 9 from October 20. Since there is an indication that the Redmi Note 9 Pro update will be for the global version. We can assume those of the Redmi Note 9S and Redmi 9 are for the Chinese version.
However, there is yet to be an official announcement regarding any impending MIUI 12 update for these devices. But we expect the company to conclude the roll out oof the update to all eligible models by October ending.
Last week, an OPPO smartphone with model number CPH2185 was spotted on FCC. This device had an identical design to realme narzo 10. Therefore, we thought it to be a rebranded handset. Turns out, this smartphone, which was confirmed earlier this week as OPPO A15 will be more than a rebadged device, as per the latest specs leak.
A few days after OPPO A15’s appearance on FCC, the smartphone was officially teased by Amazon India revealing its design and triple camera setup consisting of 13MP primary sensor paired with 2MP macro shooter and 2MP depth sensor.
Now, popular teenage leaker, Ishan Agarwal has partnered with the publication91Mobiles to bring this device’s entire specs to public. This leak reveals the forthcoming OPPO A15 to be totally different than realme narzo 20. The only common factor between these two handsets is their design.
That said, according to Ishan, this upcoming phone will be powered by MediaTek helio P35 chipset paired with 3GB RAM and 32GB internal storage. Like any other budget device, it will come with a microSD card slot to further expand the storage up to 256GB.
On the front, it will flaunt a 6.52-inch HD+ LCD panel with 296 ppi and a dew-drop notch housing a 5MP selfie camera. Whereas, on the back, apart from the square-sized camera module, the phone will also include a capacitive fingerprint sensor.
Other features of this handset include 3.5mm headphone jack, USB Type-C port, ColorOS 7.2 based on Android 10, 4,320mAh battery and 10W charging.
Last but not least, the OPPO A15 will measure 164 x 75 x 8mm in dimensions and weigh 175g.
OnePlus was one of the few companies part of Android 11 Beta program with two of its devices – OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro. At the end of this initiative, the brand started releasing OxygenOS 11 Open Beta builds for these two smartphones. Now, finally, the firm has begun to roll out the stable release to its flagship duo of 2020.
OxygenOS 11, the latest version of OnePlus’ Android skin resembles Samsung’s One UI. In fact, the brand’s upcoming OnePlus 8T looks like a Galaxy smartphone rather than OnePlus.
Anyway, it is refreshing to see OnePlus revamping OxygenOS UI as the stock Android look had begun to stale over the years. That said, here are some of the notable new features in OxygenOS 11 based on Android 11, which is currently rolling out to OnePlus 8/8 Pro.
OxygenOS 11 Notable Features
Revamped UI
New Weather app
New Game Space features
Aways-on Display (AOD)
Updated Dark Mode
Zen Mode 2.0
Revamped Gallery app
Having said, the OxygenOS 11 stable update for OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro is currently being rolled out in batches. Therefore, it may take time to reach your device.
Apart from these two handsets, OnePlus has also confirmed Android 11 update for the following devices.
Chinese smartphone brand Smartisan has been relatively silent for a long time now. The brand recently announced that it would launch a new product this October. A new teaser poster has now officially emegered showing that the company’s first product in over a year will be unveiled on October 20.
The last time Smartisan launched a major smartphone product was on October 31, 2019 when the Nut Pro 3 was unveiled. The phone is a flagship model powered by the Snapdragon 855 Plus processor and packing a Quad-camera setup.
The new product launch conference will be held physically at Wukesong·M Space at 19:30 on October 20. Regarding the press conference, Smartisan has indicated that the tickets for the press conference will not be sold and will be distributed to fans in the form of free tickets.
We expect the company to launch the Nut Pro 4, a successor to last year’s Nut Pro 3. The flagship device is expected to be equipped with a full-screen design and a white coloured rear panel. The Nut Pro 4 is also expected to feature a 108-megapixel camera.
Chinese smartphone maker realme was tipped to launch realme Q2 series on October 13 for two times in the past few days. Unsurprisingly, it happens to be true as the brand has now officially confirmed it to be the official launch date for these two smartphones on Weibo.
Last year, realme launched realme Q as a rebranded realme 5 Pro for the Chinese market. For its successors – realme Q2 (RMX2117) and realme Q2 Pro (RMX2173), the brand seems to have tweaked the global versions of realme 7 and realme 7 Pro, as per leaks and certifications.
These two devices are expected to come with 5G chipsets instead of 4G silicons found in the realme 7 series. The standard realme Q2 is said to be powered by MediaTek Dimensity 720 as per Geekbench, whereas the realme Q2 Pro is tipped to feature MediaTek Dimensity 800U.
Another difference between these China-only devices and their international siblings is that only the costlier Q2 Pro will sport a quad-camera setup with a downgraded 48MP primary sensor paired with an 8MP ultra-wide unit, a 2MP macro snapper, and a 2MP depth sensor. On the other hand, the regular Q2 will come with a 48MP (wide) + 8MP (ultra-wide) + 2MP (depth) triple camera setup. However, both of them will have the same 16MP selfie camera.
Apart from the above-mentioned dissimilarities, the realme Q2 series is expected to be similar to realme 7 series in all other factors, including 60Hz Super AMOLED display and 65W fast charging for the realme Q2 Pro and 90Hz LCD panel and 30W fast charging on the standard realme Q2.

Desktop PCs were thought to have outlived their relevance but in recent times,a number of products have come to dismantle such opinions. One of such products is AMD‘s latest desktop processors. The Ryzen 5000 series of CPUs was announced by the company yesterday, and it is manufactured based on its latest Zen 3 architecture. A totla of four new models were outed with the prices ranging from $299 to $799, effectively putting an end to the idea of AMD processors being cheaper alternatives.
At the the helm is the new Ryzen 9 5950X featuring 16 cores and 32 threads. The 5950X has a base clock frequency of 3.4GHz and a boost clock speed of 4.9GHz. The company claims this SoC possesses the highest single and multi-threaded performance of any mainstream desktop CPU. The L3 cache spread across its two chipsets is up to 64MB and it equally has a TDP of 105W.

However, the Ryzen 9 5900X which replaces the $499 Ryzen 3900X, comes in at a lower price of $549. It will take on the 10-core Intel Core i9-10900K.
The third model in the series is the Ryzen 7 5800X, equipped with 8 cores and 16 threads. The 5800X can achieve a base clock of 3.8GHz and a boost clock of 4.7GHz. The CPU utilises a single chiplet design with the 8 cores and full 32MB cache on the single CCX. It also has a TDP of 105W.
AMD’s Ryzen 7 5800X comes with a price tag of $449 and will take on the 8-core Intel Core i7-10700K.
The last but not the least, is the Ryzen 5 5600X, which has 6 cores and 12 threads. The desktop CPU which is the cheapest among the lot, has a base clock of 3.7GHz and a boost clock of 4.6GHz. It also utilises a single chiplet design and has 32MB of L3 cache but the TDP is reduced to 65W. The 5600X is the only one out of the lot that will come with a stock cooler in the box.
The Ryzen 5 5600X is priced at $299 and will take on the 6-core Intel Core i5-10600K.
The new Ryzen 5000 series will be on store shelves from November 5. The CPUs will all be compatible with all motherboards running B550 and X570 chipsets at launch.

After a delay of a few weeks than previous years, Huawei has finally announced the launch date for its next Mate series smartphones dubbed as HUAWEI Mate40 series. These handsets will be officially unveiled on October 22 at 14:00 CEST. The livestream for the event should be available on Youtube, Facebook, and Twitter.
The HUAWEI Mate series has been rumored for months just like the iPhone 12 series. Also, similar to Apple, the Chinese telecom giant is expected to launch four models and they are as listed below.
HUAWEI Mate40
HUAWEI Mate40 Pro
HUAWEI Mate40 Pro+
PORSCHE DESIGN HUAWEI Mate40 RS
These phones are reported to be powered by 5nm HiSilicon Kirin chipset and hence, the slogan for the HUAWEI Mate40 series is “Leap Further Ahead”.
According to numerous rumors and leaks, these devices are expected to sport a similar display design as the HUAWEI P40 Pro series from earlier this year. That means these smartphones will come equipped with curved OLED display possessing a pill-shaped cutout for selfie camera as well as TOF 3D sensor for face unlock.
HUAWEI Mate40 Pro CAD Renders
Further, as per 3C and an EMUI 11 promotional video, the Mate40 series (at least the Pro models) will support 66W HUAWEI SuperCharge fast charging technology. Also, interestingly, the standard HUAWEI Mate40 may ship with EMUI 10.1 instead of the latest version.
Apart from focusing on smartphones, of late, Elephone has also been converging onto categories like smartwatches and earphones. Their latest introduction is from the latter category and is being launched by the name- Elephone ElePods X.
Elephone ElePods X will feature active noise cancellation (ANC) mode that lets you immerse into the world of music. ANC comes in handy when an individual needs to tune out of the surrounding noise pollution and concentrate on a task. For those who don’t know, the feature detects ambient sounds around the user to create a type of “anti-noise,” which, via interference, cancels out any exterior sound to offer optimal peace. The noise-canceling feature in headsets also helps in reducing noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) that is an increasingly common problem caused due to the prevalence of high-intensity sound of music. Along with ANC, these earbuds will allow you to choose the noise control level that will aid in selective hearing. This attribute may also help increase the quality of your voice calls.
ANC is a top-notch feature and mostly comes with a hefty price range. But now, it is transitioning into budget-friendly earbuds to make it accessible for all. Zeaplus is one such brand that introduced Zeaplus Earbuds with ANC at a very reasonable price. Apart from the budget, the Elephone ElePods X will also come with a Bluetooth 5.0 connection with up to 7 hours of battery life. It will be IPX5 sweatproof as well.
Elephone ElePods X features a straightforward and sleek design similar to other earbuds in the market. From the renders available, we can see that it comes in both black and white variants. You can check out more about the Elephone ElePods from the official website.
Earlier this week, OPPO silently launched the A73 which happens to be a rebadged OPPO F17. The F17 was equally launched in India last month. A 5G variant of the OPPO A73 has been spotted online, an indication that the company may soon release the 5G variant.
The specs, price and images of the device have appeared online, thanks to Twitter tipster @Sudanshu1414. It is noteworthy that the A73 5G features a different design from the non-5G variant. Also, the internal components have a few differences.
First, the OPPO A73 is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 chipset while this 5G variant is listed as packing a MediaTek Dimensity 720 chipset. The display size is also different as this rumoured 5G variant features a 6.5-inch FullHD+ LCD screen with a waterdrop notch at the top. Surprisingly, the non-5G version packs 6.44-inch FullHD+ AMOLED screen. However, the A73 5G’s display has a 90Hz refresh rate and a hole punch situated at the upper-left corner which houses an 8MP selfie shooter as against 16MP on the A73.

At the rear aspect, the phone sports a triple camera setup as opposed to four sensors on the 4G version. As a sensor is removed, the LED flash is moved inside the camera module. Under the hood, the A73 5G packs a 4,040 mAh with support for 18W fast charge. It really doesn’t make sense to reduce the charging speed on the 5G version from 30W to 18W.
Other leaked specs of the A73 5G include ColorOS 7.2 based on Android 10, 8GB RAM and 128GB storage. There is also a side-mounted fingerprint reader, 3.5mm headphone jack, USB-C port, and NFC.
As for the expected price, the OPPO A73 5G is expected to retail for €299 ($350) in Europe. Buyers will have the opportunity to choose from two colour options – Neon and Black.

We already know that the Huawei Mate 40 series launch is around the corner but what we don’t know is the exact date. A tipster who has dished out reliable info thus far has now revealed that the Mate 40 will be launched on October 22. Apparently, this is the global launch while the launch in China will happen on October 30.
The tipster @RODENT950 on Twitter, apart from indicating that the models will launch in China on October 30, also gave a possible timeline on the device’s progress with pre-launch teasers tipped to start emerging on October 12. The models will go on presale in China on October 22. Sadly, it is still unclear when Mate 40’s global sales will commence. From all indications, most regions will have to wait until next year to get the Mate 40 series.
Let's make it clear
•October 12 is next Monday, warm-up starts then
•October 22 is actual launch date of Mate 40 series ( pre sale start in China)
The tipster had earlier disclosed that the Mate 40 series will comprise of the Mate 40, Mate 40 Pro, Mate 40 Pro+ and Mate 40 Pro+ Porsche design variant. All the models will vary in their display sizes but will all be powered by the Hisilicon Kirin 9000 chipset built on TSMC’s 5nm node. As usual, we expect the Mate 40 series to feature a topnotch camera setup which should rank as the best around when launched. Expect the Mate 40’s camera to upset the current DXOMark camera ranking.
There is still no official word from Huawei about the launch but if these details are anything to go by, we should start seeing some pre-launch teasers from next week Monday.

Xiaomi officially announced the appointment of a new Vice-President and Chief Financial Officer in the person of Alain Lam in August this year. The company has now disclosed that the new CFO has officially resumed duty at its Beijing headquarters.
Mr. Lam will reportedly be in charge of coordinating and managing the Group’s financial work. He will report directly to CEO Lei Jun and President Wang Xiang.
The 46-year-old Alain Lam holds a master’s degree in engineering from the University of Oxford. The Chinese exec has experience spanning over 20 years in investment banking. He has also worked previously as a managing director and the head of technology, media, and telecom in the reputable Credit Suisse in the Asia Pacific. Before his stint at Credit Suisse, Mr. Lam was a managing director at Morgan Stanley covering equity capital markets for technology, media, and telecom in the Asia Pacific.
The position of Chief Financial Officer at Xiaomi became vacant in November 2019 when the Chinese tech giant announced the elevation of its Executive Director, Senior Vice President, and former CFO Mr. Chew Shou Zi to the role of President of Xiaomi International while he will continue to serve in his capacity as an Executive Director and Senior Vice President. Xiaomi’s President Wang Xiang then took the role of Chief Financial Officer in an acting capacity since April 10, 2020. He held the position until a suitable candidate to serve as the CFO was recruited by the company’s CFO Search Committee.
Samsung announced the Galaxy Tab A7 as its latest budget tablet in early September. The device was initially made available in Europe and it even made its way to India late last month. Now, it has finally hit the US shores as well in 32GB and 64GB storage configurations. Interestingly, it is cheaper in America than other regions.
The Galaxy Tab A7 is one of the few devices from Samsung’s portfolio to come with a Qualcomm chipset worldwide.It is powered by 11nm Snapdragon 662 chip paired with 3GB RAM. This combo is more than enough to handle multimedia and some light gaming.
The tablet sports a 10.4-inch TFT LCD panel on the front with a resolution of 2000 x1200 pixels and around 80% screen-to-body ratio. It features a metal unibody design like most tablets in the market and houses an 8MP rear-facing camera as well as a 5MP front-facing camera for video calls and selfies.
A 7,040mAh battery runs the show and it charges via USB Type-C port. It also comes with a 3.5mm headphone jack, which is surprisingly not present in the cheaper $199.99 TCL TAB by Verizon Wireless.
That said, the new budget tablet from Samsung runs One UI 2.1 based on Android 10 and features dual-band WiFi 5, Bluetooth 5.0, quad-speaker, and a microSD card slot to expand the storage if needed.
The Galaxy Tab A7 is only available in WiFi version in the US and customers can pick it up in either Dark Gray, Silver or Gold color variant. The base 32GB model is priced at $229.99, whereas the higher 64GB costs $279.99. That means the tablet is more affordable than in both Europe and India.
A couple of days back, Redmi GM hinted at a launch of a new Redmi smartphone in China. The company will likely unveil the new models of the Redmi K30 series and new Redmi Note 10 in China. Also, the Redmi Note 10 is rumored to be a rebrand of the Mi 10T Lite from Europe. And now, a tipster on Weibo hints that the device might have different cameras for China.
Tipster Digital Chat Station(Weibo: @数码闲聊站) says that the device with ‘J17’ model number on it will be equipped with a 108MP camera. Along with this, it will likely have “Telephoto” and “Macro” lenses. Now, if we recall, the Mi 10T Lite that passed through FCC before the launch, had a model number M2007J17G. Usually, ‘G’ represents the Global version and hence, M2007J17C should be the Chinese variant of the device. That said, the Mi 10T Lite debuted with a 120Hz LCD display, Snapdragon 750G SoC, 4,820mAh battery. But the Global variant has a 64MP sensor, ultra-wide and macro lens on the camera setup.
Further, the tipster has mentioned the specs of a blank device yesterday which falls in-line with the current leak. As per the post, a device will have 120Hz LCD, SM7225 SoC(Snapdragon 750G), 108MP camera, 4800mAh battery with 33W fast charging. This strengthens the rumor that Redmi Note 10 will be a tweaked version of Mi 10T Lite in China. Also, this resonates with the earlier XDA report that Chinese variants will both have 108MP sensors.
Further, looking at the SoC, it looks like Xiaomi is indeed living up to the promise of launching more 5G devices in 2020. And if the reports are true, this will be the first Redmi smartphone to sport a 108MP sensor. Previously, Xiaomi skipped the Redmi Note 9 series for China but launched the Redmi 10X series. That said, the new Redmi Note smartphone will definitely be a showstopper if it launches at the rumored price tag of CNY 1,000 ($149).
