It seems like Samsung is a bit zealous about the upcoming Galaxy S20 FE. According to Korean media reports, the company is planning to produce around 10 Million units of the Galaxy S20 FE this year.

Galaxy S20 FE White Render Leak — Galaxy S20 FE White

A report by TheElec says that the aim is to secure the market share for the rest of the 2020. This is understandable considering Huawei recently overtook Samsung to become the leading Smartphone brand. That said, Huawei is now facing a lot of heat due to the US sanctions and this could play in favour of Samsung.

In fact, it has already topped the Korean market charts with a 67% market share in Q2 2020. This will only give them a boost to improve overall share in 2020 and beyond. Hence, it totally makes sense to categorise the products at difference price points so that it can capture a majority of the segment. That said, it will be interesting to see if Samsung manages to sell the Galaxy S20 FE well given the market situation is heavily focused on sub-$600 segment.

In all likelihood, the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S20 FE will borrow most of its features from the earlier launched S20 series. The company has already set an unpacking event to launch the device on Wednedsay(September 23). We can expect it to debut in both 4G and 5G variants depending on the market.

Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Specifications

As per a previous leak, the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE is likely to come with a 6.5-inch FHD+ S-AMOLED display with a resolution of 2400×1080 pixels and 407ppi. The device is likely to be powered by Exynos 990 SoC in markets like Asia, Korea. However, we can expect Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 in USA, and Europe.

Camera-wise, it will probably have a 12MP main lens and an 8MP Telephoto with OIS. The other 12MP sensor is an ultra-wide lens with 123-degree FOV. Upfront, the punch-hole will have a 32MP selfie shooter. We can expect other features like WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.0, NFC, 4,500mAh battery with 15W charging, One UI 2.5 to be present.

Expected Price

As for the price, recent leaks suggest that the device will retail for €699 in Europe. Further, TheElec says that the device could start at 800,000 won in Korea which is closer to the earlier leaks. However, let’s wait for a few more hours to confirm them.

Sep 22, 2020

The Pixel 5 will be announced next week at the Made by Google event. The phone will come along with a 5G version of the Pixel 4a. Ahead of the launch, a leak has revealed the full spec sheet of Google’s new smartphone.

The Pixel 5 is a deviation from its predecessor. It drops the flagship processor for the upper mid-range Snapdragon 765G processor. Gone is also the soli radar-based Motion Sense, which means no Face Unlock and no gesture control.

The Pixel 5 has a 6.0-inch FHD+ flexible OLED display with a hole in the top left corner of the screen and a 90Hz refresh rate. The bezels are also much slimmer than on previous Pixel phones. While most phones with an OLED display adopt an in-display fingerprint scanner, Google is sticking to its rear-mounted Pixel Imprint sensor.

The Qualcomm chipset is paired with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. By now, you should know there is no support for storage expansion.

The Pixel phones are known for being camera beasts even though they usually have fewer cameras than the competition. For the Pixel 5, we have a 12.2MP f/1.7 main camera with dual-pixel and PDAF. The main sensor has optical image stabilization and a 77° field of view. Along with the main camera is a 16MP f/2.2 ultrawide angle camera with a 107° field of view. In front is an 8MP f/2.0 camera.

There is a 4080mAh battery inside the Pixel 5 that supports 18W fast charging. The phone supports wireless charging and Google has added support for reverse wireless charging too according to Winfuture.de. This means you can charge your Pixel Buds by placing it on the back of the phone.

There is only one SIM slot but an eSIM will allow you to use two numbers on the Pixel 5. Other features are NFC, stereo speakers, Titan M security chip, Android 11 out of the box, and an IP68 waterproof rating.

The source says the Pixel 5 will be priced at €629 in Germany when it launches and should ship with a pair of wired Pixel Buds in the box. An earlier leak revealed it will come in black and green color variants.

Nokia Power Earbuds Lite

The new Nokia Power Earbuds Lite keeps the design of the original. The tradeoffs include a significant reduction in total battery life from 150 hours on the Power Earbuds to 35 hours for the lite version.

The manufacturer says the earbuds will last 5 hours on a single charge and the case will provide up to 6 additional charges for the earbuds before it is empty.

Nokia Portable Wireless Speaker

HMD Global also announced the first Nokia Bluetooth speaker since taking over the brand. The Nokia Portable Wireless Speaker as it is called is shaped like a donut with a fabric-covered upper half and a plastic lower half. It comes in Black and has a strap to make it easy to carry around and also hang on hooks. The design reminds us of the Nest Mini speaker.

The lower half of the speaker is home to the volume control buttons, power button, play/pause button. The charging port is covered with a flap. With this design, the Nokia Portable Wireless Speaker should have an IP rating but it doesn’t, no thanks to the fabric top.

The speaker has a 43mm driver and connects via Bluetooth 5.0. You can even link two speakers together for stereo output. There is an 800mAh battery inside that provides up to 4 hours of playback and an integrated microphone allows you to use it to make calls.

Xiaomi India has scheduled a launch event called “Smarter Living 2021” for September 29. The company is expected to launch a number of products such as Mi Smart 4 and Mi Watch Revolve to name a couple. Ahead of the event, the firm has been teasing these upcoming products on social media. Today’s teaser suggests that one of these forthcoming smart products will be XiaoAI Speaker Art.

The Xiaomi XiaoAI Speaker Art launched in China in the month of May for 349 yuan (₹3,383/$51). It is still selling for the same price in the country. Hence, we can expect it to be priced around ₹5,000 ($68) in India.

In Chian, this speaker is powered by Xiaomi’s XiaoAI voice assistant but in India, it should either feature Amazon Alexa or Google Assitant. Apart from that, the speaker may launch with a different name, however, with the same design and specifications.

That means, it will feature a metal build with 10,531 holes and a 16 million RGB LED strip at the top with capacitive touch keys for volume control, play/pause, and enable/disable far-field microphones.

It comes with a 2.5-inch speaker with DTS sound. It can be also paired with a second unit to experience 2.0 stereo sound. As for connectivity, it sports dual-band WiFi 5 and Bluetooth 4.2.

Last but not least, it can be paired easily with devices running MIUI 12 but we are not sure if this feature will be available in India.
