OPPO A53 2020 made its debut in Indonesia on Thursday. The handset costs Rp 2,499,000 ($169) in the country for 4GB + 64GB storage configuration. It is scheduled to launch in India on August 25. Ahead of it, a new leak suggests the world’s second-largest smartphone market will get a different memory variant.
The OPPO A53 2020 is known as the first smartphone to launch with Snapdragon 460. It is probably also the first handset to sport an HD+ (1600 x 720 pixels) LCD panel with 90Hz refresh rate. Also, it is priced competitively, compared to previous devices from the brand.
According to Mukul Sharma (@stufflistings), this phone will be available in 6GB + 128GB combo in India initially. He added that the price of this model could be somewhere between ₹14,000 and ₹15,000. Also, he mentioned that the lower 4GB + 64GB variant that launched in Indonesia will make its way to India sometime later.
At this price, the device will have to compete with POCO M2 Pro, Redmi Note 9 Po, Realme 6, and Samsung Galaxy M21 in the country. But since OPPO is an offline-focused company with a heavy emphasis on marketing, it can definitely manage to push handsome units of A53 2020 edition into the hands of customers.
Anyway, it is not a bad budget smartphone per se as it features a 12MP (wide) + 2MP (macro) + 2MP (depth) triple camera setup, 16MP punch-hole selfie camera, fingerprint sensor, microSD card slot, 3.5mm headphone jack, USB Type-C, 5,000mAh battery, 18W fast charging, and ColorOS 7.2based onAndroid 10.
As a world-renowned camera manufacturer, AKASO’s action camera EK7000 Pro ranks as the top-selling action camera on Amazon. Only in July this year, AKASO’s sales of the EK700 Pro on Amazon reached 150,000+ which show the camera is a hot product. In order to expand its market, AKASO has now launched its first product in China and it is the EK7000 Pro.
The EK7000 Pro is a camera focused on sports photography, equipped with a 20.1-megapixel lens. The lens supports 4K 25fps video shooting and a 170° super wide-angle, far exceeding the 120° super wide-angle common to mobile phones. For a sports camera, anti-shake is undoubtedly the most important. AKASO E7000 Pro supports intelligent anti-shake algorithm, which can eliminate screen jitter through EIS+ gyroscope, and can also shoot relatively stable and clear videos under various severe jitter conditions to ensure that there will be no jelly effect.
The EK7000 Pro action camera is also equipped with a 2.0-inch high-definition touch screen that supports one-click editing. It can also directly connect to a mobile phone via Wi-Fi and share the captured content on social platforms. In terms of battery life, the EK7000 Pro has a battery capacity of 1050mAh, which can continuously shoot videos for 90 minutes. It comes with two batteries.
As stated earlier, the EK7000 Pro is AKASO’s first product to be launched in its home market of China. It is already on sale on Tmall and is priced at 499 yuan (~$72). The company also promised to launch more products in China in September this year.
Recently, OPPO launched A53 2020 as the world’s first smartphone with Qualcomm Snapdragon 460 beating other phones which leaked with the same chipset. Now, it seems like the next handsets with this SoC will be mostly vivo Y20 and vivo Y20i respectively as their entire specs leak via marketing material.
The upcoming vivo Y20 and vivo Y20i will be identical with only three differences – RAM, charging speed, and color. The specifications of these devices were shared by Mukul Sharma aka @stufflistings on Twitter.
According to the pictures shared by the tech influencer, these two phones will sport a 6.51-inch Halo Full View Display (dew-drop notch). Though the leak does not mention the type and resolution of the panel, we believe it to come with an LCD screen with HD+ resolution.
Both the handsets will be powered by Snapdragon 460 but the Y20 will feature 4GB RAM, compared to 3GB RAM on Y20i. For optics, they will come equipped with a 13MP (wide) + 2MP (macro) + 2MP (depth) triple camera setup aligned vertically on a rectangular module on the rear panel. They will also feature an 8MP front-facing camera for selfies and video calls.
Further, these devices will ship with FunTouch OS 10.5 based on Android 10 and the whole package will be backed by a 5,000mAh battery, However, only Y20 gets 18W fast charging support, whereas, Y20i is mentioned to have normal charging (mostly 10W).
Last but not least, these upcoming vivo budget smartphones will feature a side-mounted fingerprint sensor and will be available Dawn White and Obisidian Black (Y20) / Nebula Blue (Y20i) color variants.
OPPO launched the A92s smartphone in China back in April this year packing a decent specs lineup. The phone has since gone on sale. There have been speculations that he A92s will hit the global turf as Reno4 Z 5G. That was recently touted when the phone was listed as “OPPO Reno4 Z 5G” by the Global Certification Forum. This has now been confirmed as the device has also been certified by Thailand’s NBTC as the Oppo Reno4 Z 5G (via).
The NBTC listing confirms the device will be powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 800 chipset. The processor is a 5G SoC which makes the device a 5G phone. The device is expected to pack an LCD screen with 12oHz refresh rate. However, it comes with support for 18W charging speed instead of the 65W fast charging capabilities of its siblings.
As of now, we don’t know the price of the Reno4 Z 5G or when it will be launched but for reference, the A92s comes with a retail 2,200 yuan (~$320). We expect the phone’s global pricing to be in this range.
The rumor mill has been spilling information on the LG Q92 5G phone since last month. It was first spotted at the Google Play Console and it also appeared at the Geekbench benchmarking platform. Earlier this week, a leaked had revealed its entire specifications. Now, a South Korean publication has shared a couple of live shots of the LG Q92 5G phone.
The LG Q92 5G can be seen in the Ceramic White version in the live shots. The handset has a punch-hole display and it has four cameras and an LED flash on its curved back. The bottom edge of the phone features a 3.5mm audio jack, a USB-C port, and a speaker grille.
The LG Q92 5G is a MIL-STD-810G certified phone that measures 166.54 x 77.3 x 8.49mm and weighs 193 grams. Apart from Ceramic White, the Q92 5G will come in colors like Mirror Titanium and Mirror Red.
The LG Q92 5G has a Full HD+ resolution supporting display of 6.7 inches. It has a 32-megapixel front camera and its rear has a 48-megapixel + 8-megapixel (ultrawide) + 5-megapixel (depth) + 2-megapixel (macro) quad camera setup.
The Snapdragon 765G fuels the LG Q92 5G with 6 GB of RAM. It has 128 GB of native storage and is loaded with Android 10 OS. The phone is packed with a 4,000mAh battery that will come with fast charging capabilities. The Q92 5G has other features such as a side-facing fingerprint reader, stereo speakers, and NFC. There is no word on the pricing of the LG Q92 5G.
Huawei is expected to launch the Huawei Mate 40 series of flagship phones in September. Ahead of the rumored launch, three smartphones that reportedly belongs to the Mate 40 series has appeared on TENAA’s database. At the same time, display analyst Ross Young has shared some key information on the displays of the three phones.
It is believed that the OCE-AN00 model number belongs to the Huawei Mate 40 handset. The letters ‘OCE’ refers to its ‘Ocean’ codename. The NOH-AN00 Huawei phone could be the Mate 40 Pro smartphone. The ‘NOH’ letters in the model number are the short form of its “Noah’ codename.
1 of 3
The NOP-AN00 phone also seems to belong to the Mate 40 series. It is unclear whether the phone is Mate 40 Pro+ or Mate 40 RS Porsche Design. Hopefully, newer reports will reveal the identity of the NOP-AN00 phone. Unfortunately, the TENAA listings of these phones do not have any information on their specs, except for the fact that they support 5G connectivity and run on Android. These listings are expected to get updated with full specs soon.
In June, display analyst and CEO of Display Supply Chain Consultants (DSCC), Ross Young had claimed that the Mate 40 will come with a 120Hz refresh rate display. However, a tipster claimed at the end of the same month that the Mate 40 series will support a 90Hz refresh rate like the Huawei P40 series. Now, even Young has claimed that the Mate 40 series phones will have 90Hz refresh rate displays. He is of the view that Huawei will offer 120Hz refresh rate displays on its smartphones in the coming year.
Huawei Mate 40 CAD render
Young further mentioned that the Huawei Mate 40 has a 6.5-inch display that supports 1080 x 2340 pixels Full HD+ resolution. The Mate 40 will have screens supplied by BOE display manufacturer. The Mate 40 Pro will have a larger 6.78-inch QHD+ display supplied by BOE, Samsung Display, and LG Display. He has speculated that Mate 40 series will have waterfall displays with curved edges.
Huawei Mate 40 Pro CAD render
The CAD renders released by OnLeaks in the recent past had revealed that both phones will have a dual punch-hole cutout. Young also claimed that he is not aware of a Pro Plus model. If it exists, it will have the screen that will be available on the Mate 40 Pro.
Multiple reports have revealed that the FRL-AN00a model number belongs to the upcoming Huawei Enjoy 20 Plus 5G smartphone. The handset has now appeared in the product library of China Telecom. The listing has revealed its release date, pricing and specifications. Speculations are rife that this device will be rebranded as Huawei Mate 40 Lite, Huawei Y9a, and Huawei P Smart Pro 2021 in different markets.
Huawei Enjoy 20 Plus 5G price and release date
The listing reveals that the Huawei Enjoy 20 Plus 5G will come in three models such as 6 GB RAM + 64 GB storage for 1,899 Yuan (~$274), 6 GB RAM + 128 GB storage for 2,299 Yuan (~$332), and 8 GB RAM + 128 GB storage for 2,499 Yuan.
Readers are recommended to take the pricing information with a grain of salt as the company is yet to announce the smartphone. The listing further revealed that the Enjoy 20 Plus 5G will be available in multiple colors like Magic Night Black, Emerald Green, Galaxy Silver, Sakura Snow, and Snow Clear Sky. The phone is scheduled to release in the market on Sept. 3. Hence, it appears that the Chinese manufacturer may soon confirm on its launch date.
The Huawei Enjoy 20 Plus has a 6.63-inch IPS LCD FHD+ screen with notch-less design. It has a pop-up selfie camera of 16-megapixel and its rear features a round-shaped camera module like the one found on last yea’s Mate 30 Pro. It includes a 48-mgeapixel + 8-megapixel + 2-megapixel triple camera system.
The Enjoy 20 Plus 5G’s render shared by Digital Chat Station. The image shows that the phone has a volume rocker and a fingerprint reader on the right edge, a SIM card tray, a USB-C port, and a speaker grille at the bottom, and a 3.5mm audio jack at the top. The left spine of the Enjoy 20 Plus 5G is barren.

That means users who previously unlocked and relocked the bootloader may not get recruited for the program.
Three months after the global launch of the A52, OPPO officially announced the OPPO A53 2020 and launched it in Indonesia. While waiting for it to hit the Indian market, we can examine all of its specifications and compare it with the other devices sold in the same price range. For this comparison, we chose the Redmi Note 9 and the Realme 6i. Note that Realme 6i exists in two different variants: the Indian version and the global version. The phone we will talk about in this comparison is the Indian version, while the global version is a more affordable phone with inferior specifications.

Design
The sleekest handset of this trio is the Realme 6i which sports a smaller camera module and a punch-hole display with a hole placed on the upper left corner. But if we talk about build quality, the Redmi Note 9 looks more interesting because it has a glass back instead of a full polycarbonate body. It is uglier, but it is well-built. Oppo A53 is thinner and lighter than its two rivals, but it is bigger due to its thicker display bezels.
Display
The most advanced display belongs to the Realme 6i: a Full HD+ panel with a 90 Hz refresh rate. It is not a high-end panel and it is an average IPS display, but it is way better than Redmi Note 9 and Oppo A53 2020. Indeed, the former features a Full HD+ display with a standard refresh rate, while the latter has a low HD+ resolution, despite it features a 90 Hz refresh rate just like the 6i. The Realme 6i wins the comparison simply because it has both the features.
Specs & Software
Even when it comes to the hardware, Realme 6i is the champion. It has a more powerful Helio G90T chipset paired with up to 6 GB of RAM. With Redmi Note 9, which gets the second place, you get the Helio G85 paired with max 4 GB of RAM, while Oppo A53 has an inferior Snapdragon 460 SoC built with a better production process, but with lower performance. Oppo A53, Redmi Note 9, and Realme 6i run Android 10 out of the box, highly-customized by proprietary user interfaces.
Camera
On the paper, Realme 6i wins the camera comparison. It has exactly the same rear cameras as the Redmi Note 9, but it features a better chipset as well as a better front camera with a 16 MP resolution. With the Oppo A53, you get the same front camera as the Realme 6i, but the rear cameras are inferior to both its two opponents of the comparison. Realme 6i is able to record 4K videos at 30 fps and 1080p videos at 120 fps with EIS. It has a 48 MP main sensor with an f/1.8 focal aperture, an ultrawide sensor, and two sensors with 2 MP resolutions for macro and depth.
Battery
The biggest battery belongs to the Redmi Note 9, but the OPPO A53 2020 should last more on a single charge because it has a lower resolution for the display and a more efficient chipset (the Snapdragon 460 built at 11 nm). Both feature 18W fast charging, but with the Redmi Note 9, you get 9W reverse charging (wired). Realme 6i has a smaller battery and a shorter battery life, but it has a much faster charging technology with a power of 30W.
Price
Oppo A53 sells for €140/$165, Realme 6i starts from €170/$200, and Redmi Note 9 has a €150/$177 starting price. The Realme 6i is a more advanced device thanks to its Full HD+ 90 Hz display and its better chipset, but unlike Redmi Note 9 and Oppo A53, it is not a battery phone.
Samsung launched the Galaxy Note20, Galaxy Note20 Ultra, Galaxy Tab S7, and Galaxy Tab S7+ with One UI 2.5 out of the box. Even the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold2 will also be debuting with this software. The company’s other smartphones were expected to get his version of One UI in the coming days. But the firm surprised everyone by initiating the rollout to Galaxy S20 series on the first-day sale of Galaxy Note20 series, which happens to be today.
The One UI 2.5 update for Galaxy S20, Galaxy S20+, and Galaxy S20 Ultra is currently live for the 5G variants of these handsets in certain regions. The models that are receiving the update are the following listed below.
Galaxy S20 – SM-G981B
Galaxy S20+ – SM-G986B
Galaxy S20 Ultra – SM-G988B
The above-mentioned variants of Samsung Galaxy S20 series are getting the One UI 2.5 update with build number G98xBXXU4BTH5 in European countries like Spain, Italy, Hungary, Portugal, the Netherlands, Germany, and others. Other models and 4G variants of these phones should also start receiving the update in the coming days.
This update based on Android 10 brings some of the Galaxy Note20 series features like navigation gestures support for third-party launchers, improved Pro Video mode, changes in Single Take, Wireless DeX, and more.
The 2020 Galaxy Note series is made up of the Galaxy Note20 and Note 20 Ultra of which the latter is the topmost variant. While the Galaxy Note20 Ultra has continued to receive rave reviews, the same can’t be said of the Note20. Most complaints are centred around the display lacking a high refresh rate and the presence of a plastic back panel.
Turns out that the internals of the device isn’t one to be happy about. YouTuber channel PBKreviews has shared a video teardown of the vanilla Note20 giving us our first peek at the internals of the cheaper new Note. Sadly, the arrangement of the internal components means the device won’t be an easy one to repair.
The teardown started rolling with the reviewer taking off the back cover, first by applying heat and using the pry tool. Removing the back cover reveals the internal components, prominent of which is the 12MP wide and 64MP telephoto cameras which boast OIS. Heading down, you’ll find the wireless charging pad, earpiece and the 4,300 mAh battery. The S Pen dock is tucked in right next to the battery.
Talking of the battery, there is no pull tabs on the body which makes it difficult to remove the battery should there be any reason to want to do so. The only way to take it out is to heat up the adhesive and then apply alcohol. Then it becomes easy to yank it off using the pry tool.
The Galaxy Note20 features an under-screen fingerprint sensor and it is located under the battery compartment. The sensor is part of the display and is not easy to replace without prior knowledge. The display can be taken off after all the internal components are removed. All that is needed is some heat and the pry tool.
In July 2020, Xiaomi launched Mi Curved Gaming Monitor 34” for the European market. Similarly, in September 2019, the company crowdfunded Mi Portable Photo Printer in China. Now, these two products will be available for purchase in Malaysia on August 24.
Xiaomi Malaysia announced the availability of the above-mentioned two products in the country on its official Facebook page (via Soyacincau). The price for the same will be revealed on Monday whey they will go on sale.
Mi Curved Gaming Monitor 34”
This Xiaomi monitor, as the name suggests, features a 34-inch WQHD (3440 × 1440 pixels) LCD panel with 1500R curvature, 21:9 aspect ratio,144Hz refresh rate, 85% NTSC color gamut, 16.7 million colors (8-bit), 3000:1 contrast ratio, 4ms response time, 300 nits brightness, and AMD FreeSync Premium.

It costs €399 in Europe but will be mostly priced less than RM2,000 for Malaysia.
Mi Portable Photo Printer
This tiny pocketable printer resembling a power bank is capable of printing photos in 313 × 400 dpi resolution. It can hold up to 10 sheets at a time and takes about 45 seconds for a single print using ZINK (Zero Ink) technology.
The printer features Bluetooth 5.0 to connect with smartphones so that it can be managed via the MIJIA app. Last but not least, it can print a maximum of 20 photos on a full charge with its 500mAh battery, which charges via MicroUSB port.
As for price, the Xiaomi printer launched officially in China for 349 yuan ($50).

Renders of Samsung’s unannounced Galaxy M51 first surfaced online back in March. Since then, we have had to wait for more details. At the moment, the Galaxy M51 specifications have surfaced online with the leak showing the device will pack a 6.7-inch FHD+ AMOLED screen with a punch-hole design. The device will also have 6GB or 8GB RAM versions with 128GB storage.
Further, the Galaxy M51 is said to feature a 64MP quad-camera setup at the rear but we must note that earlier renders show a triple camera setup. What caught our fancy pretty quickly is the huge 7000mAh battery with support for 25W fast charging. This will likely be the main selling point for the device. For reference, the Galaxy Tab S7 tablet packs a 7,040mAh which puts the M51’s battery in the tablet category. The battery is also 2,500mAh larger than the battery in the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra.
The Galaxy M51 had earlier appeared on GeekBench with the model number SM-M515F. The GeekBench listing shows the device will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 730 SoCchipset paired with 8GB of RAM. The interface will be provided by Android 10 OS.
In terms of the build, the Samsung Galaxy M51 will likely come with a glasstic body similar to the M31s but we can’t be so sure. We’ll have to wait for further details. The phone will reportedly launch in India soon.
While announcing the Pixel 4a earlier this month, Google also unveiled Pixel 4A 5G and Pixel 5A. But the company neither revealed the design nor their specifications. But it did confirm them to come with 5G connectivity. Now, weeks later, Pixel 5 3D CAD renders from @OnLeaks expose the entire design of this handset.
Steve Hemmerstoffer, commonly known as @OnLeaks is known for his 3D CAD render leaks. He has been accurate with his leaks for years. He partners with various publications for his exclusive leaks. For the Pixel 5 renders, he has joined hands with PriceBaba.
According to the leakster, the upcoming Pixel 5 will measure 144.7 x 70.4 x 8.1mm in dimensions. His renders reveal the design of this handset to be similar to that of the recently launched Pixel 4a.
On the front, the phone is said to sport a 5.7-5.8 inch display with a punch-hole cutout at the top left corner for the selfie camera. The renders show the phone is a glittery black color just like the official teaser by Google with a glossy power key at the right side along with volume rockers.
The right side of the smartphone has a SIM card slot, whereas the top of the phone houses a secondary microphone. Further, the bottom features a centrally-aligned USB Type-C port flanked by speaker grille on either side, out of which one should nest the primary microphone.

Google Pixel 5 3D CAD Renders
Talking about the rear panel, the handset features a fingerprint sensor and a dual-camera setup on a raised square module with an unknown third sensor as well as LED flash.
As per previous reports, the forthcoming Pixel 5 will come with Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G, 128GB base variant, and reverse wireless charging feature called Battery Share. It is expected to launch on September 30 as per tipster Jon Prosser.
Earlier this week, ZTE officially announced to launch the world’s first under-display camera smartphone called Axon 20 5G on September 1. Since then, the company has been teasing this handset with promos and renders. One of the firm’s executives has now revealed some tidbits regarding the development of this phone to the Chinese media.
ZTE Axon 20 5G
Lu Qianhao, Director of Consumer Experience at ZTE told Chinese media (via MyDrivers) that they spent more than 20 months in R&D to give birth to ZTE Axon 20 5G. He admitted that under-display camera technology is extremely difficult, complex, and expensive to achieve.
Back in June, Brian Shen, Vice President of OPPO also made a similar statement. He mentioned the development phase as a “tortuous path”. And even asked people to not expect good quality images from the first-gen products. But he did say that one day, this tech will be perfected with incremental improvements.
It is rumored that OPPO is not satisfied with the picture quality of the under-display cameras yet even though they were the first to showcase it publicly in December 2019 at OPPO INNO DAY conference in Shenzhen, China.
On the other hand, Ni Fei, President of ZTE Mobile Devices said that they carried out a blind selfie camera test for Axon 20 5G and the participants did not find any issue with image quality.
OPPO Under Display Camera Smartphone
Having said that, the upcoming ZTE Axon 20 5G is rumoured to feature Visionox OLED panel for the under-display camera solution. Earlier in July, news broke out that the display manufacturer had shipped $500 million worth of this type of panels to Huawei and Xiaomi.
Interestingly, the world’s first under-display camera smartphone will not be a flagship. According to TENAA, the Axon 20 5G will be powered by the mid-range Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G chipset. But due to that selfie camera, the phone may be priced higher than other normal 5G handsets with this very same silicon.
Earlier today (21st August 2020), LG Display officially announced that it has provided 55 inch transparent OLED display panels to subway trains of Beijing and Shenzhen in China.
These new transparent OLED screens are used to display information to the commuters that ride the subway. The displays have a 38 percent transparency and have a Full HD resolution. LG stated that it would be working to provide similar solutions to other subway networks from across the globe as well.
Unfortunately, it is unknown just how many of such displays the South Korean tech giant has equipped on the subway trains. Furthermore, the company has also announced that it would be doubling the output of transparent OLED panels since it believes that the new generation of displays can be used in various commercial sectors like large shop windows, on the exteriors of buildings, and other exhibition spaces as well.
Earlier today (21st August 2020), Xiaomi launched a new product from the MIJIA brand. It is the MIJIA Smart Oven which will start being crowdfunding on 26th August 2020
According to official notes, the new MIJIA Smart Oven has a total capacity of 30 litres. It adopts a vertical body design with support for a variety of cooking methods. This includes roasting, steaming, frying, and even stewing with 30 seconds of steam output. The product also supports a smart link, meaning it can be connected via the MIJIA smart home application.
The Xiaomi MIJIA Smart Oven follows a minimalistic design with a single colored body. It has a circular dial on the top right corner that displays all the essential information as well. It is planned to go on crowdfunding with a price tag of 1,299 Yuan (roughly 187 US Dollars) while its retail price is 1,499 Yuan (roughly 216 US Dollars).
With the iPhone 12 series being right around the corner, rumors and speculations regarding the latest generation of Apple flagship are surfacing. The latest report arrives from known analyst Ming-Chi Kuo and, which stated that the company might be looking to offset some of the 5G costs in their new lineup by offering cheaper battery designs.
The iPhone 12 series will be the Cupertino based giant’s first flagship lineup that features 5G networking. However, 5G enabled handsets are known to be generally pricier than their 4G LTE counterparts. Adding on the Apple premium you pay for their products, and one would rightly assume that breaking the bank might be the way to get the latest 5G iPhone.
The report from Kuo has revealed through supplier data that the cost of an iPhone could rise by $85 for adding sub-6 5G support or $135 for adding millimeter-wave. Apparently, Apple has been pressuring its suppliers to try and reduce the cost of parts and will use a simpler battery design to lower the overall cost of the iPhone 12 series. The iPhone 12 battery board specifications reportedly feature a reduced number of layers and smaller areas.
This would enable Apple to reduce costs on the battery by 40 to 50 percent when compared to the iPhone 11 series. The company will reportedly abandon the hard board design and opt for a soft board battery design for the iPhone 12s series in 2021.
