Sony is expected to announce the Xperia 5 II flagship phone on September 17. Ahead of the launch, the rumour mill has been agog with leaks surrounding the specifications and renders of the Xperia 5 II.
Reliable tipster Evan Blass has leaked an official promotional video of the device. The video clip centres on the handset’s multimedia and gaming capabilities. The phone is touted to allow you to enjoy your favourite movies and music and can also handle pretty much everything you throw at it. It is shown to feature a 120Hz screen refresh rate as well as 240Hz touch response time. The Xperia 5 II will also pack dual front-facing stereo speakers and gaming enhancement software that gives you absolute control over the handset during gaming. There is also a 3.5mm audio jack onboard.
The video also flaunts the photography and videography capabilities of the device. The Xperia 5 II can shoot slow-motion 4K videos in 120fps, offers burst shooting with AF at up to 20 frames per second and you can edit videos on the color-accurate OLED screen.
It is already known that Xiaomi has got an under-screen camera phone in the works. The company’s CEO Lei Jun recently released a demo video showing the firm’s perfected third-generation under-screen display in action. Right now, a video of the Mi 10 Ultra having an under-display selfie camera has appeared online.
The video was shared on Weibo with what appears to be a Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra packing an under-display camera (UDC) being compared with a couple of other Xiaomi devices. Xiaomi released the Mi 10 Ultra recently in China to mark its 10th anniversary and the device didn’t feature an under-display selfie camera. The unit in this video which clearly is a Mi 10 Ultra considering the rear camera design may likely be an early prototype that ended up not being mass-produced.
However, there are speculations that Xiaomi may possibly launch this under-display version of the Mi 10 Ultra in October or November. There are also speculations that the Chinese tech giant may alternatively only showcase the model just like the Mi Mix before mass-production commences next year. The source clearly indicated that this is a prototype and won’t be released until next year. Xiaomi also stated earlier that it aims to bring this technology to the mass market next year” (2021.
The industry saw its first commercially launched under-display camera-packing phone in the Axon 20 5G recently. The device was a mid-range model and the samples shot on the selfie camera wasn’t that great. Since it is a mid-range model that doesn’t cost so much, the negative reviews won’t be high. We can’t say the same thing about the Mi 10 Ultra which from all intents and purposes is a flagship model. Xiaomi won’t want to test the waters with an expensive machine. Well, except it is sure that the camera quality is devoid of glare and the output is of flagship quality.

Alcatel is a brand licensed by Alcatel-Lucent (now owned by Nokia) to TCL. The Chinese electronics company has been launching handsets, tablets, and other related products under this brand for years. However, lately, new launches under the Alcatel brand has decreased since TCL has now begun to launch self-branded phones. Anyway, even if they do, they are mostly exclusive to a particular carrier like the newly launched APPRISE budget smartphone.
Alcatel APPRISE
The Alcatel APPRISE is a $69.99 Android Go smartphone for Cricket Wireless in the US. In a nutshell, it is an entry-level smartphone for basic stuff and well-suitable for seniors.
The device sports a 5.5-inch 18:9 LCD panel with qHD resolution and a 5MP selfie camera above it protected by Asahi Dragontail Glass. Since there’s no notch or punch-hole, the phone has noticeable bezels but that’s fine for its asking price.
Further, the handset is powered by MediaTek MT6739WW SoC paired with 2GB RAM and 16GB internal storage. It also has support for microSD card up to 128GB. The smartphone is even compatible with hearing aids M3 and T3.
The entire external body of the device in Suede Gray color is plastic hosting volume rockers + power key on the right side and a dedicated Google Assistant key on the left side. Whereas, the back of the phone includes a 5MP primary camera accompanied by an LED flash and Alcatel as well as Cricket branding.
The handset’s top also features a 3.5mm headphone jack while a MicroUSB port sits at the bottom to charge the phone’s 3,000mAh battery, On the connectivity front, the device comes with support for 4G LTE, single-band (2.4GHz) WiFi, and Bluetooth 4.2.
As for software, the Alcatel APPRISE runs Android 10 Go Edition and last but not least, it measures 5.76″ x 2.82″ x 0.39mm in dimensions.
Earlier last month, a list of upcoming Huawei devices leaked. One of them was HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro, which the company recently announced to launch on September 10 in China. Ahead of it, this TWS now leaks extensively revealing its design, specs, price, and availability for Europe.
1 of 4
Huawei did not launch any new product at IFA 2020 unlike its sub-brand Honor, which announced new laptops, smartwatches, and tablets for Europe. However, a new leak from Roland Quandt of WinFuturenow suggests Huawei’s new products for the region will be announced in the coming days with sales commencing in October.
One of those products, HUAWEI Watch Fit had already gone official in UAE last week. The other two are HUAWEI Watch GT 2 Pro and HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro. The former was leaked recently and now the latter leaks as well.
According to Roland, the upcoming Huawei-branded TWS’ design will be inspired by Apple AirPods Pro with silicone tips. It will be powered by the company’s in-house HiSilicon Kirin A1 chip, which debuted around the same time last year inside HUAWEI FreeBuds 3.
1 of 4
The new truly wireless earphones from the Chinese telecom giant will come with Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity and ANC (Active Noise Cancellation). Each bud will feature a total of three microphones and a 52.5mAh battery. The size of their drivers is unknown at the moment.
It will be available in three colors namely black, silver, and black. The stems of the buds will be shorter than FreeBuds 3 and will also house HUAWEI branding. Going by the renders, even the charging case will have a smaller footprint than the last year’s model.
1 of 4
Last but not least, the price of HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro will start at €150 in Europe and will be available for purchase in early October.
The Honor Watch ES was announced at IFA 2020 yesterday. A lot of you already know that this is Honor’s version of the Huawei Watch Fit which launched about a week earlier. However, while both watches are near identical and also share several features, there is a key difference between them that you should know in case you plan to purchase any of the two.
While one of the visual differences between the Huawei Watch Fit and the Honor Watch ES includes a red accent on the home button of the latter, a more important difference is under the hood.
This key difference is GPS. The Huawei Watch Fit has built-in GPS which is important for outdoor runs. However, the cheaper Honor Watch ES has connected GPS. What this means is that Honor’s own watch needs to connect to your phone to get location data.
The lack of GPS on the Honor Watch ES should explain why it costs less at €99.99 than the Huawei Watch Fit that launched for AED 399 and has been reported will cost €119 when it lands in Europe.
If having built-in GPS is a must for you, then you may want to pick up the Huawei Watch Fit. But if you don’t mind taking your phone along with you while running, then you can save some money with Honor’s own watch.
Another difference that you should know is the number of workouts supported. The Honor Watch ES supports 10 professional workout modes and 85 customized training modes for a total of 95 while the Huawei Watch Fit has 11 professional workout modes and 85 custom training modes for a total of 96 workout modes. Unfortunately, neither Huawei nor Honor has provided a list of the supported professional modes, so we can’t narrow down the missing sports mode.
The two smartwatches have built-in storage for storing files you can listen to while working out. They also both have a SpO2 monitor, stress measurement, animated workout courses, and can track menstrual cycles.

If you own an Amazfit GTR or Amazfit GTS, then a new feature rolling out to the two smartwatches will allow you to unlock your car with just your watch. Don’t get too excited as it is just not any car but a particular Chinese electric car.
According to a post by the official Huami Weibo account, the Amazfit GTS and Amazfit GTR will be able to unlock the Xiaopeng P7/Xpeng P7. This is an electric vehicle that is touted as the Chinese rival to the Tesla Model 3. A post by ITHome says the feature is now available via a new update rolling out to the two watches.
While being able to unlock your car with your watch is definitely a cool feature to have, this particular one is a niche one as the Xpeng P7 is just one out of the several different types of cars available. So being able to unlock just a particular type of car really narrows down the usefulness of the feature. We are also sure there are only a very very small number of persons that own both the car and either of these watches.
Nevertheless, we won’t rule out the possibility of a similar feature being available for other cars in the future especially those from more popular brands.
OPPO is a well-known smartphone brand in Asia. lately, it has been expanding its product portfolio alongside its sister brands – OnePlus and realme. But unlike those two, the company is yet to launch smart TVs. Seems like it will be happening very soon as the brand’s first televisions have been certified by 3C and Bluetooth SIG.
This is not the first time we are hearing about OPPO TV. Back in June, a day after the launch of Reno4 series in China, the brand shared a picture depicting all the achievements of the company in 5G technology. This image also included all the AIoT products launched by OPPO so far, in addition to an outline of a smart TV.
Now, almost months later, two sizes (55-inch and a 65-inch) of OPPO-branded televisions have received 3C certifications (via MyDrivers). Interestingly, they feature 10 model numbers each.
OPPO TV 55-inch
A55U00B00
A55U00B01
A55U00B02

A65U10B03
A65U10B04
Also, two OPPO remote control with model numbers RC-001D and BRC-004A were spotted on Bluetooth SIG database (via MySmartPrice). This duo could be for the above-listed TVs.
That said, nothing else is known about these upcoming OPPO TVs except for their manufacturer – TPV Display Technology (Xiamen) Co. Ltd. For those unaware, this company owns brands such as AOC, Envision and TV business of Philips. It is also an ODM (Original Design Manufacturer) for many other brands.
Therefore, we can expect good quality televisions from OPPO whenever they release. Also, since there are multiple models, they may debut in global markets at around the same time as China.
Realme 7 Pro is official alongside the Realme 7 and it brings well-balanced specifications at a very affordable price. By realizing it, Realme listened to the users’ feedbacks as most as possible, but did it create the perfect mid-rangers or there is something better in the Indian market? We think there is no better way to understand it than comparing it with the other recent handsets in the same price range. For this comparison, we chose the Redmi Note 9 Pro and the original, newly-announced Oppo F17 Pro dubbed as the sleekest smartphone of 2020. Let’s discover which device deserves to be purchased immediately. Note that the Redmi Note 9 Pro of this comparison is the Indian variant: the global version comes with slightly different specifications (and it is a slightly better device).
Realme 7 Pro vs Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro vs Oppo F17 Pro
Quad 48 + 8 + 5 + 2 MP f/1.8, f/2.2, f/2.4 and f/2.4

Design
OPPO F17 has definitely no rivals in this comparison if we talk about the design. Just think that, alongside the vanilla Oppo F17 it is the thinnest smartphone of 2020: it is just 7.5 mm thin. Further, it is one of the most lightweight handsets of the year: it weighs just 164 grams. It is even available in outstanding color variants. Unlike the Oppo F17 Pro which is entirely made of polycarbonate, the Redmi Note 9 Pro has a glass back and it has a water-repellent body (the Realme 7 Pro is water-repellent too), but the Oppo F17 Pro is still the winner of the design comparison.
Display
Redmi Note 9 Pro loses the display comparison because it sports a classic IPS panel with lower image quality. Realme 7 Pro and Oppo F17 Pro are better with their great AMOLED displays. We did not test the display of the Oppo F17 Pro, but on the paper, it seems better than Realme 6 Pro. In both cases, you get an in-display fingerprint reader, while the Redmi Note 9 Pro has a rear-mounted biometric sensor. Note that with the Realme 7 Pro you get stereo speakers, which are not present on the Oppo F17 Pro and the Redmi Note 9 Pro.
Specs & Software
The best hardware department belongs to the Realme 7 Pro. Both Realme 7 Pro and Redmi Note 9 Pro are powered by the Snapdragon 720G mobile platform, but the former has up to 8 GB of RAM, while the latter stops at 6 GB. Oppo F17 Pro lags behind with an Helio P95 chipset by MediaTek: it has more RAM than Redmi Note 9 Pro, but the chipset is inferior. With Oppo F17 Pro and Realme 7 Pro, you get a similar software experience (Realme UI is based on ColorOS), while Redmi Note 9 Pro has a different Android 10 customization (MIUI 11 out of the box).
Camera
The best camera phone of the trio is the Realme 7 Pro because it features a better main camera on the rear side. We are talking about a Sony sensor with a 64 MP resolution: not the best camera out there, but still better than the 48 MP sensors found on the Oppo F17 Pro and the Redmi Note 9 Pro. Even the 32 MP front camera is the most amazing, despite Oppo F17 Pro has dual front cameras which can calculate depth info in a better way.
Battery
The king of battery life is Redmi Note 9 Pro because it features a bigger 5020 mAh battery. Despite its display is more energy-demanding, it lasts more on a single charge. Right after, we got the Realme 7 Pro with its 4500 mAh unit that reaches a full charge very quickly compared to its opponents’ thanks to 65W fast charging technology.
Price
Realme 7 Pro has an Rs. 20,999 starting price in India, Redmi Note 9 Pro starts from Rs. 13,999, and Oppo F17 Pro costs Rs. 22,990. Despite its bigger battery, there is no way for the Redmi Note 9 Pro to compete with Realme 7 Pro and Oppo F17 Pro, but it has a higher value for money. In my opinion, Realme 7 Pro is the best with its AMOLED display, great hardware, good cameras, and 65W fast charging. But do not forget how sleek, thin and lightweight Oppo F17 Pro is.
Honor has been teasing its HUNTER gaming laptop for weeks now. Finally, the wait is about to over as the brand has officially announced to launch it on September 16 in China. It will be not the only product debuting at this event as the company has also confirmed to unveil HONOR Watch GS Pro and HONOR Watch ES for its home market.
HONOR HUNTER gaming laptop has been in leaks for a while now. Even the brand executives have been teasing it for weeks. Hence, we know some of the features of this upcoming notebook.
This laptop could debut as HONOR HUNTER V700 with model numbers – FRD-WFD9 & FRD-WDG9. On the other hand, the HONOR Watch GS Pro and HONOR Watch ES should be exactly the same as the ones launched yesterday at IFA 2020 for Europe.
Since the launch will take place only in the third week of September, we can expect Honor to drop more information regarding its first gaming laptop on Weibo daily or intermittently until the day of the event.
An OnePlus phone labeled as BE2012 with Snapdragon 460 chipset has appeared on Geekbench. A recent report by Android Central had revealed that an upcoming OnePlus phone codenamed as Clover will be equipped with the Snapdragon 460. Hence, it appears that the OnePlus Clover phone has shown up on Geekbench with its BE2012 model name.
The 1.80GHz Qualcomm chipset that powers the OnePlus BE2012 is mentioned with its ‘bengal’ codename. The ‘bengal’ codename has been spotted on the Geekbench listings for Snapdragon 460 powered Vivo Y20 and OPPO A53 smartphones in the recent past. Hence, it can be said that the OnePlus BE2012 is powered by Snapdragon 460. This is in turn suggests that the OnePlus BE2012 is the OnePlus Clover entry-level phone that is expected to debut in the near future.
The Geekbench 5 listing of the OnePlus BE2012 further reveals that it has 4 GB of RAM and it runs on Android 10 OS. In the single-core and multi-core tests of Geekbench, the handset scored 245 and 1174 points, respectively. The final product name of the device is not known.
The OnePlus Clover is rumored to arrive with a 6.5-inch HD+ IPS LCD display, SD460, 4 GB of RAM, 64 GB of internal storage, and a 6,000mAh battery with 18W fast charging. It has a 13-megapixel + 2-megapixel + 2-megapixel triple camera system and a rear-facing fingerprint reader.
OnePlus is yet to confirm the arrival of the smartphone. It is unclear whether it will debt as a Nord series product. It is speculated that the device will be priced at $200 in the U.S.
POCO M2 is set to debut in India on September 8, a day after the global launch of POCO X3 NFC. Ahead of it, the brand has been teasing the features of this handset on social media as well as partner retailer Flipkart. So far, the company has confirmed the RAM, display, and camera setup of its upcoming handset.
Just like the POCO M2 Pro, which is part of Redmi Note 9 family, the forthcoming POCO M2 is mostly a tweaked version of Redmi 9 Prime (Redmi 9 in other markets). It is expected to be the Redmi 9 family phone with model number M2004J19PI spotted on TÜV Rheinland back in June.
As for teasers, POCO has confirmed its next smartphone for India to feature an FHD+ display with a dew-drop notch, 6GB RAM, and a quad-camera setup. One of the teaser images also reveals the camera alignment and rear-mounted fingerprint, which are exactly the same as Redmi 9 except for a different paint job.
All of these clearly points out the upcoming POCO M2 to be another device in the Redmi 9 family of handsets. Hence, we expect it to come with MediaTek Helio G80, polycarbonate body, 5,020mAh battery, and different colors to differentiate it from the Redmi 9 Prime.
An upcoming 5G-enabled OPPO phone with PECM10 / PECT10 model number has bagged certification from China’s TENAA telecom authority. The final product name of the mysterious 5G phone is not known yet. It could be one of the cheapest 5G phones from the Chinese manufacturer.
OPPO PECM10 / PECT10 specifications
The OPPO PECM10 / PECT10 measures 162 x 75 x 7.9mm and weighs 175 grams. The device could be available in color variants such as black, white-purple gradient, and silver-red gradient.
The smartphone is equipped with a 6.5-inch LCD screen with punch-hole design. It supports a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels and an aspect ratio of 20:9. The device is equipped with a rated battery of 3,954mAh capacity. It does not seem to support fast charging technology.
The PECM10 / PECT10 OPPO phone is fueled by an octa-core processor that clocks at 2.0GHz. It is unclear which processor is present under the hood of the smartphone. In China, the phone may arrive in 4 GB, 6 GB, and 8 GB RAM variants and it is likely to come with single internal storage of 128 GB. The device seems to lack support for microSD card slot.
The mysterious OPPO phone has a front-facing camera of 8-megapixel. There is square-shaped camera module on the rear shell of the phone. It includes a 16-megapixel primary camera and a pair of 2-megapixel sensors. The device is preinstalled with Android 10 OS. It appears to be equipped with a side-mounted fingerprint sensor.

Further, the company is aiming to stretch the goal to $500K along with goodies like Ethernet and USB 3.0 Hub for free.

However, GM Nucbox Mini PC is the most powerful Mini PC measuring 62 x 62 x 42 mm and weighs over 125 grams. It packs an 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD with an Intel 4-core processor. The mini PC is ideal for the mobile office, business meeting, light gaming, and 4K home entertainment.

GMK Nucbox is powered with the Intel Celeron J4125 processor with 2.7 GHz clocking speed. The mini PC is available in three storage variants of 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB SSD. The base variant of 128 GB is available for the price of $179 with 14% off. The company even launched a 13.3-inch 4K UHD @60Hz monitor for $199 (42% discount) along with Nucbox.
The monitor offers sRGB 100%, sharp panel, HDR support, and dual speakers. In connectivity, the 13.3-inch monitor supports 11x HDMI port, 2x Type-C port.
LG has a new budget-friendly phone named LG K52 waiting in the pipeline to go official. Reputed tipster Evan Blass has shared a new render of the phone to reveal its design. The budget phone can be seen sporting a punch-hole display and a quad-camera system on its rear.
The leaked render shows that the LG K52 in blue and white color editions. The rear side of the device is equipped with a plastic rear with curved edges. At front of the device is a punch-hole cutout placed at the top-center position.
From what is present on the screen, it can be assumed that the phone is preinstalled with LG UX based Android 10 OS. The backside of the phone has a rectangle-shaped camera housing at the top-left corner. It consists of four cameras with a large-sized LED flash below it.
There is a volume rocker placed on the left spine of the LG K52. The right edge of the device has a power key. It is unclear whether the power button is integrated with a fingerprint reader. At present, there is no word on the specifications of the LG K52. The date mentioned on the phone’s display is Sept. 1 that has already gone past. Hence, it appears that the device may go official soon.
In related news, LG is gearing up to launch the innovative LG Wing smartphone on Sept. 14. The device is said to be equipped with a secondary rotating display. It is speculated that the device could be priced at $1,000 and it may hit the markets by fall.
OPPO is part of Android 11 Beta program. The Find X2 and Find X2 Pro are the only devices from the company eligible for this initiative. But now, the company announces a new Android 11 Beta recruitment, which also includes Reno3 4G and Reno3 Pro 4G. The registrations for the same will open on September 7 from 4:00 (GMT).
The Chinese smartphone maker announced a new Android 11 Beta recruitment for four of its devices on ColorOS Community (via PiunikaWeb). What’s more interesting is that the company has included a blank space for the version number of ColorOS in the teaser image.
This suggests that OPPO may soon announce ColorOS 8. In fact, this beta recruitment could be for the latest version of its Android skin. Also, the company mentions that only limited quota will be available for this program. The exact number of spots and regions will be revealed on September 7.
Since realme UI was unveiled after the release of ColorOS 7 last year, we may also witness the debut of realme UI 2 in the coming days. Most importantly, this suggests that Google may indeed launch Android 11 officially on September 8 as reported in July.
Samsung has launched all of its important products for the second half of the year except for the Galaxy S20 FE. This smartphone has been in leaks for months now. We know almost everything about it including its design. Now, a new leak exposes this device entirely leaving nothing except for its price.
Galaxy S20 FE Lavender Camera
The new leak regarding Samsung Galaxy S20 FE comes from Roland Quandt of WinFuture. According to him, the phone will come in Snapdragon 865 and Exynos 990 versions. The former will be marketed as Galaxy S20 FE 5G in regions like Europe and the latter with LTE will be sold as simply Galaxy S20 FE. The branding of the two models was first confirmed last week.
On the front, the handset will sport a 6.5-inch FHD+ (2400 x 1080 pixels) Super AMOLED display with 407ppi, 120Hz refresh rate, 20:9 aspect ratio, Corning Gorilla Glass 3, in-screen fingerprint sensor, and a centred punch-hole for 32MP selfie camera.
It may only come in a single 6GB RAM + 128GB UFS 3.1 storage configuration without microSD card slot.

The material used on the device’s back is unknown but the handset will support wireless charging and reverse wireless charging. Anyway, it should be mostly plastic like the regular Galaxy Note20. But since the leakster mentions it to feature a metal frame, the rear panel could be glass after all.
The back of the phone will house a triple camera setup consisting of a 12MP primary sensor with OIS, another 12MP sensor with 123° ultra-wide lens, and an 8MP with 3x telephoto lens and OIS. Further, the handset will include all the important sensors like accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetic sensor, hall sensor, light sensor, and proximity sensor.
