OnePlus Buds true wireless earphones were launched earlier this year, marking the Chinese company’s debut in the TWS headset market. Now, it seems that the company is gearing up to launch another variant of the same.
The latest report indicates that the OnePlus Buds Z earphones could get launched soon. It is also expected to be a bit cheaper compared to the currently available model. Just for the context, OnePlus Buds is available for purchase at a price of $80.

It makes sense for the OnePlus Buds Z to be cheaper than the original OnePlus given that the OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z is also priced cheaper when compared to the Bullets Wireless earphones.
Currently, there’s no information available about the TWS earphones, including its features, pricing, or availability. However, we expect more details to surface online in the coming weeks as the launch date nears.
The OnePlus Buds come with a 13.4mm dynamic driver and has support for Dolby Atmos for the OnePlus 7 and OnePlus 8 series. It also has support for Dirac Audio Tuner for the newly launched OnePlus Nord smartphone.
It has environmental noise cancellation which triggers during phone calls. The device also has IPX4 ratings, making it water-resistant. Connecting the earphones with OnePlus smartphones enables additional touch controls, as well as a low-latency mode named Fnatic Mode for gaming.
Huawei has been cut-off from the rest of the world when it comes to procuring chipsets or other semiconductor components that users American technology. This is because of the sanctions imposed by the United States, which is also affecting the company’s vendors.
Because of the sanctions, it is impossible for the company to manufacture its flagship Kirin chipsets, and thus, the company had earlier confirmed that the upcoming Kirin 9000 SoC could be the last flagship chipset from Huawei.

For those who are unaware, the Kirin 9000 SoC will be powering the upcoming Huawei Mate 40 series flagship smartphones. Now, it has been revealed that the Chinese giant has about 10 million units of Kirin 9000 SoC, so there could be 10 million units of Mate 40 series phones available for purchase.
Another report coming from China claims that Huawei has about 8.8 million units of 5nm Kirin 9000 chipset available. The chipset could last for about a few months before the company runs out of it.
As for the Huawei Mate 40 series, the company is expected to launch three models — Mate 40, Mate 40 Pro, and Mate 40 Pro+, all of which will come with EMUI 11 based on the Android 10 operating system with support for some advanced features.
Huawei is expected to hold an online launch event for the Mate 40 series as well as the Kirin 9000 SoC next month. The China launch is expected to take place in mid-October while the devices could go official in the UK next year.
Last year, Huawei unveiled the Mate 30 series in September. It appears that due to the US sanctions the Mate 40 series is unlikely to launch this month. According to a new report on Winfutrue.de, Huawei will be holding the Huawei Mate 40 series livestream unveil event by mid-October in China. As far as global release is concerned, the Mate 40 series may hit the European markets by next year.
At the recently held Huawei Developers Conference (HDC) in China, the Consumer Business Group head for Huawei, Richard Yu confirmed that the Mate 40 series will be debuting soon. Also, the UK wing of the company has confirmed through a tweet that the next generation Huawei Mate will break cover soon. As reliable tipster Evan Blass had revealed earlier, the Mate 40 series may release in the international markets in the coming year.
Apple recently unveiled the Apple A14 Bionic as the world’s first 5nm chipset. The publication revealed that Huawei will be the first brand to launch a 5nm chipset with a built-in 5G modem. The 5nm Kirin 9000 with 5G support is expected to power the Huawei Mate 40 Pro and Mate 40 Pro+.

Apple’s 5nm A14 SoC requires an external modem for LTE connectivity. As far as the Mate 40 is concerned, it is likely to feature the Kirin 9000E which is said to be an enhanced version of the Kirin 990 5G chipset. The report also states that the Mate 40 series will offer faster charging capabilities than the predecessor series.
While the Mate 40 series will come with beefed up cameras, it will not feature Google Mobile Services due to the U.S. sanctions. Earlier this month, it was reported that Huawei has reduced component orders for the Mate 40 series by 30 percent as its likely expected a dip in interest and shipments.
It was recently reported that Vivo will be launching the Vivo V20 series on Sept. 24 in Indonesia. However, the company is set the Vivo V20 series a bit earlier in Thailand on Sept. 21. The series includes three devices such as the Vivo V20 SE, Vivo V20, and Vivo V20 Pro. Vivo Thailand released a teaser of the Vivo V20 Pro, which revealed that it could be a rebadged edition of the Vivo S7 5G that debuted in China. Also, a tipster has shared two screengrabs that have revealed the key specifications of the Vivo V20 and 20 SE smartphones.
Vivo V20 SE and Vivo V20 specifications
The Vivo V20 SE and Vivo V20 are equipped with a 6.44-inch S-AMOLED display with a waterdrop notch. The screen supports full HD+ resolution, 20:9 aspect ratio, and an in-display fingerprint sensor. Both phones offer a 90.12 percent screen-to-body ratio. These devices are preinstalled with FunTouchOS 11 based Android 10 OS. Interestingly, the Vivo V20 heading to India seems to have a dual punch-hole cutout for two front-facing cameras. This indicates that the Vivo V20 heading to India could be a slightly different phone compared to the ones arriving in markets like Thailand and Indonesia.
The Vivo V20 SE is powered by the Snapdragon 665 and 4,100mAh battery and the Vivo V20 has the Snapdragon 720G and 4,000mAh battery. The Vivo V20 SE and V20 come with 33W Flash Charge 2.0 technology and NFC connectivity. Both devices have 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of built-in storage.

Chinese smartphone maker OPPO just launched OPPO F17 and OPPO F17 Pro in the beginning of this month in India. And now, according to a new leak, the company will soon debut a higher model in the series called OPPO F21 Pro before Diwali (festival of lights) in the country.
This exclusive leak comes from MySmartPrice. As per the industrial sources of the publication, the OPPO F21 Pro will either launch in October or November before the Diwali festival on Diwali on November 14.
Unfortunately, the sources did not reveal any specifications of this device. However, they did mention that it will be sleeker than the OPPO F17 Pro with a glass back design instead of plastic rear panel. Also, it is said to feature a different pattern on the back to differentiate itself.
That’s all the information the leak gave away about the upcoming OPPO F21 Pro. That said, since it will be placed about the OPPO F17 Pro, we can expect it to feature a much powerful chipset than MediaTek helio P95, retain AMOLED display, 30W or more fast charging, better cameras, and ColorOS 7.2 baked on Android 10.
As for pricing, the OPPO F17 Pro is available in a single 8GB + 128B storage configuration for ₹22,990 ($312) in India and therefore, the forthcoming OPPO F21 Pro should retail for around ₹30,000 ($407) in the country.
Galaxy M31 is one of the best smartphones launched by Samsung earlier this year. This handset along with Galaxy M30s helped the South Korean tech giant in boosting its online market share in India.

Motorola announced the Moto Razr 5G smartphone for the Chinese market last week, a day after the international launch took place. The foldable smartphone went on sale for the first time on Tuesday (September 15) and feedback received from the Lenovo-owned company is that the product was sold out in just two minutes.
That the Razr 5G was able to accomplish such feat desite the steep price tag is an indication of the popularity of the device. However, we don’t know the total units that were made available for the first round of sales. The device will go on sale again in China on September 21 via Motorola’s official website, JD.com and other online channels.
To recall, the Moto Razr 5G packs a 2.7-inch gOLED outer screen with a resolution of 800×600 pixels and 370 ppi pixel density. The inner display which is bigger is a 6.2-inch pOLED with a resolution of 876×2142 pixels and 373 ppi pixel density.
The phone features a “water repellant design” and packs a 2,800mAh battery with support for 15W charging. It is powered by a Snapdragon 765G chipset paired with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. In addition, the external screen is now optimised to work with more apps such as camera, messages, calculator, Google Keep, Google News, Google Home, and YouTube by default. Users can also manually grant permission for any app to do its thing on that screen. This display now has support for gesture navigation too. The phone runs Android 10.
For optics, there is a 48MP camera with f/1.7 aperture, OIS, and laser autofocus. The selfie snapper is a 20 MP unit with f/2.2 aperture.
If you want a foldable phone that folds vertically, the Galaxy Z Flip is your best bet. Seeing as the Galaxy Fold has gotten a successor, it is no surprise that Samsung is working on one for the Galaxy Z Flip too. While we don’t expect the Galaxy Z Flip 2 to arrive this year, some details have surfaced.
The Vietnamese leaker, Chun (@chunvn8888) revealed some details of the phone which should launch as the Galaxy Z Flip 2. According to him, he has confirmed that the phone will feature a larger outer display. The Z Flip has a 1.1-inch outer display which is less than half the size of the 2.7-inch outer screen on the Moto Razr 2019 and Moto Razr 5G.
As of now (September 2020) 100% confident: – bigger outer display – new UTG – Upgraded hinge – bigger battery A bit concerned: – high refresh rate display Unconfirmed: – specs (screen size, chipset, cam) – design#ZFlip2
He also revealed the main display will feature a new type of UTG (Ultra-Thin Glass) and an upgraded hinge. Another upgrade is the battery capacity which is getting a bump from the 3300mAh inside the Galaxy Z Flip.
The leaker also mentioned some features he is not sure about such as a high refresh rate display. Other details not revealed include the screen size, processor, and camera configuration. We expect more leaks will surface before the launch of the phone. Nevertheless, we advise you to take the info with a grain of salt.
OnePlus revealed a few months ago that it will launch an affordable smartphone for the US market. A leak has now revealed that the device is called the OnePlus Nord N10 5G. The leak also includes the specs of the mid-range phone.
OnePlus Nord
The source of the leak is Android Central and they have cited an unnamed insider as their source.
The OnePlus Nord N10 5G is said to be the device codenamed “Billie”. It will have a 6.49-inch display with an FHD+ resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate. However, there is no confirmation that the display is an OLED panel.
OnePlus will ship the phone with the Snapdragon 690 5G processor and the base model will have 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. We do not know if there will be other configurations and if this will be the first OnePlus phone with support for storage expansion.
It has also been reported that the OnePlus Nord N10 5G will be the first OnePlus phone with a 64MP primary camera. The phone will also have an 8MP ultrawide angle camera and two 2MP cameras for a quad-camera setup.
There was no mention of the selfie camera neither is there any info about the battery capacity and fast charging technology. We expect more details will surface before the launch.
The source did say that the OnePlus Nord N10 5G should have a price tag of under $400. While we do not know when it will launch, there are speculations it will launch after the OnePlus 8T.
Just eleven months after the Hero 8 was introduced into the market, action camera maker GoPro has launched the GoPro Hero 9 Black. The device comes after several months of anticipation. It also brings along a handful of new features and upgrades.
Top of the list is the ability of the Hero 9 to shoot videos in 5K resolution as against 4K on previous models. This happens to be the highest resolution we’ve seen yet in a GoPro camera. Aside from that, the new GoPro cam can equally record in 4K, 2.7K, 1440p and 1080p resolutions. The camera can also capture up to 8x slow-mo, or 240 fps.
In terms of the design, the GoPro Hero 9 Black now has a front screen in addition to the rear screen. GoPro says the front screen will help capture selfie angles. Further, it comes with a removable lens and the standard lens can be replaced by GoPro’s Max Lens that widens the Field of View to 155° and has greater stabilization features.
The company also upgraded other features of the camera including a bump up of the battery life by 30%. There are also upgrades to Timewarp and Hypersmooth, more live streaming options and Hindsight – the ability to capture 30 seconds before you press the shutter.
As for the pricing and availability, the GoPro Hero 9 Black comes with a $449.99 (£429.99, AU$699.95) price tag. This is slightly more expensive than the Hero 8 Black’s launch price but the upgrades should make up for the increased price. The camera is available now and comes with a 32gb memory card. It can be purchased more cheaply alongside a GoPro subscription that gives unlimited cloud storage and a camera replacement service.
During yesterday’s keynote, Apple launched the new 4th generation iPad Air. It is definitely one of the most interesting tablets of the year because it is powered by the new Apple A14 Bionic chipset: the same we will find in the iPhone 12 lineup. But is it worth choosing the last Apple’s tablet or there is something even more interesting in the Android world? In order to establish it, we compared the latest iPad with the flagships Android tablets Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 and Huawei MatePad 10.8. The former brings 5G connectivity, while the latter is offered at a very good price. Let’s see which one is the best depending on the users’ needs.
Apple iPad Air 4 vs Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 vs Huawei MatePad 10.8

Design
Thanks to their narrower bezels, the iPad Air 4 and the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 bring more elegant and futuristic designs to the market. The Apple iPad Air 4 has a cleaner look on the rear side, as well as a lighter body: that is the reason why it is my favorite one. But the Samsung Galaxy S7 has a slightly higher screen-to-body ratio. Both come with an aluminum body just like premium laptops. All of these tablets support an external keyboard and a stylus, with the S Pen of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 being the most convincing stylus of the trio and the Apple Smart Keyboard being the best keyboard.
Display
Overall, the most wonderful display of this comparison belongs to the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7. Unlike its rivals, it features a high 120 Hz refresh rate and the HDR10+ certification. While the image quality provided should not be so different from the Apple iPad Air 4, it offers a smoother viewing experience thanks to its high refresh rate. Unfortunately, no one of these tablets has an AMOLED panel. Despite its affordable price, Huawei MatePad 10.8 still comes with a very nice QHD+ display.
Hardware/Software
The most performing tablet of the trio is the Apple iPad 4 for two reasons: it has a better (and more efficient) chipset (the Apple A13 Bionic built at 5 nm) and a greatly-optimized operating system. We are naturally talking about iPadOS 14, which is also a better operating system for productivity than Android. Well, with the Samsung Galaxy S7 you get the DeX mode turning it into a desktop PC if you connect it to an external monitor, but in the tablet mode, the iPad Air 4 has no rivals. In terms of hardware, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 is superior to the Huawei MatePad 10.8 thanks to its Snapdragon 865+ chipset. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 is also the only tablet of this comparison to support 5G.
Camera
The main 12 MP camera found on the Apple iPad Air 4 actually provides a better photo quality and it wins the camera comparison. It is a 12 MP sensor that can record videos in 4K resolution @ 60 fps. Despite the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 has an inferior main camera, it offers something more interesting since it packs an ultrawide secondary sensor. The Huawei MatePad 10.8 does not have a bad camera, but it is less interesting than its opponents.
Battery
Unfortunately, we still do not know how much Apple iPad Air 4 will exactly last on a single charge because no one had the chance to test it as it was announced yesterday. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 has a bigger battery than Huawei MatePad 10.8 and it should last more if you do not use the 5G connectivity. Further, it has the fastest charging tech with a 45W power.
Price
Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 has a €700/$650 starting price globally, Huawei MatePad 10.8 is priced just €300/$355 in China, and Apple iPad Air 4 starts from €640/$599. Huawei MatePad 10.8 loses the comparison but it has a higher value for money. The iPad Air 4 wins the comparison due to its great operating system, better cameras, and good performance, but Samsung Galaxy S7 is slightly more interesting on the paper because it has 5G, a 120 Hz display, DeX mode, and more interesting features.
Smartphones are nothing without the chipsets powering them. This type of silicons are known as application processors (AP). According to the latest report by Counterpoint Research, the Global Application Processor Market declined 26% in Q2 2020.
As expected, Qualcomm led the market with a 29% share, closely followed by MediaTek with a 26% share. Whereas, Huawei’s HiSilicon came at third position with a 16% share while Apple and Samsung tied in fourth place with 13% share each. Lastly, Unisoc obtained the fifth position with a 4% share.
Out of the above-mentioned top players, Qualcomm, Samsung and Unisoc witnessed a decline in their market share compared to the previous year. On the other hand, MediaTek, Huawei, and Apple showed improvements.
Neil Shah, VP of Research at Counterpoint says that Qualcomm’s decline was partly because of the increased usage of HiSilicon chips by Huawei, in addition to the overall drop of the global smartphone market as a result of the pandemic. Although HiSilicon’s market share improved a lot compared to others in the second quarter, its future is uncertain as Huawei can no longer manufacture them.
The executive also added that 5G smartphone sales more than doubled in Q2 2020 than the previous quarter. Hence, this trend will try to offset the overall decline in H1 2020 and will play an important factor for growth in 2021.
Strict US restrictions on Huawei and 5G will help Qualcomm, MediaTek and Unisoc to gain more market share. Research Analyst Shobhit Srivastava mentioned that OPPO, realme, vivo and Xiaomi will use chipsets from the former two companies to fill the void that Huawei may leave behind.
Qualcomm could be more beneficial in the $400+ (wholesale) price segment, especially in China where Huawei currently dominates with over 40% market share. The American chipmaker could also gain share in the mid to high-end segment in Europe.
On the other hand, MediaTek will become popular with the help of its affordable 4G and 5G offerings in markets like China. Russia, and Middle East & Africa (MEA) as realme and Xiaomi will try to eat up Huawei’s share in these regions.
Last but not least, 5G will also increase the number of affordable gaming smartphones with features like high refresh rate displays powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon G and MediaTek helio G series of chips.

Other features include sleep tracking, 24-hours heart rate monitoring, and a decent 160mAh battery which the company claims is good for a month’s usage on a single charge.
Back in May when Redmi held the Redmi 10X series launch event, the Xiaomi brand also unveiled the Redmi Smart TV X series. The new TV X series was announced in three different sizes with the smallest 50-inch model adopting a price tag under 2,000 Yuan ($280). Redmi has now officially announced today that yet another new series will be made available soon.
The series is the Redmi Smart TV A series and according to the brand, the products will soon be launched. While the succinct details of the Smart TV A series are yet to be revealed, the smart TV series is shown in the teaser poster to come in five different screen sizes. The TV will be available in 32 inches, 43 inches, 50 inches, 55 inches, and 65 inches display sizes. In addition, the poster shows that the new TV A series adopts an ultra-narrow bezel design, which looks very similar to the X series overall. The X series is only available in 50-inch, 65-inch and 55-inch versions.
The Amazfit GTR 2 and Amazfit GTS 2 smartwatches will be unveiled next week but we don’t have to wait that long to know what Huami’s new products look like. The manufacturer has shared a poster that gives us an early look at both products.
As seen above, the Amazfit GTR 2 has a more classy look. The bezels are smaller and the glass covering the display tapers at the edge where it meets the watch case. It also appears the overall thickness has been reduced. The image shows that Amazfit GTR 2 will ship with a black leather strap. Of course, there will be other variants too.
For the Amazfit GTS 2, Huami is sticking to a square dial and not switching to a round dial as previously reported. We think this is a good decision seeing as not everyone likes round dials.
Huami has switched up the design and it looks less like the Apple Watch now. The display is still curved at the edges but the gray watch frame now encloses the single button on the right. Attached to the watch is a matching rubber strap.
Alongside the image of the watches, Huami has also confirmed that the GTR 2 and GTS 2 will have support for blood oxygen detection. The Weibo post by the company’s CEO also reveals that there is also a new feature that tracks breathing while sleeping. The breathing score given to the user will be based on the fatigue level during the day and if the user snores at night.
The Amazfit GTR 2 and Amazfit GTS 2 are scheduled to launch in China on September 22.
Elephone released its Apple Watch look-alike, the Elephone W6 smartwatch in the market recently. Now the company is eyeing the circular dial market with a brand new metallic round smartwatch. A new image of an upcoming Elephone watch was recently spotted featuring a metallic body.
Elephone circular dial watch new model
We have no details about the specs or the pricing of this upcoming Elephone smartwatch model. However, considering how its previous W6 smartwatch was pretty feature-packed, we can expect the new model to come loaded with similar functionality. Basic features like real continuous heart rate monitor, blood pressure monitor, blood oxygen monitor, and sleep monitor are expected on the new watch apart from the usual exercise tracking features.
Elephone W6
Elephone is known for super cheap products and the existing Elephone W6 watch too retails for less than $30. Considering this, we can expect this new model to be pretty aggressively priced, targeted at budget customers.
We don’t know when we’ll get more details about this device, but you can check out the Elephone website for updates. The watch should be announced by the end of September.
