Xiaomi is hosting an event tomorrow in its home country where Lei Jun, CEO and Chairman of the Xiaomi Group will address the public. The event will also mark the launch of Mi 10 Ultra Commemorative Edition and Redmi K30 Ultra Commemorative Edition.
Now, Lei Jun has confirmed through a Weibo post that the upcoming Redmi K30 Ultra Commemorative Edition is based on the company’s K30 Pro smartphone, with some newly added features to offer “100% full flagship experience.”
Reports indicate that the company will be introducing 120Hz refresh rate support on the upcoming Redmi smartphone, a feature that users expected in the K30 Pro as well.
Lu Weibing, General Manager of the Redmi brand and Chairman of Xiaomi China had previously said that the Redmi K30 Ultra Commemorative Edition represeLi Junnts what the Redmi brand set out to do. He is also confident about the phone’s configuration being top-of-the-line for the youth.
Ahead of the launch, the smartphone has already been leaked through TENAA. The leaked images show that the phone will reportedly feature a quad-camera setup on the back, where sensors will be placed on an Oreo-designed camera module.
It is expected to come with a 6.67-inch Full HD+ AMOLED display with 2400 x 1080 pixels screen resolution. However, the chipset of the device is not yet known but given that the company says “full flagship experience”, we are expecting either SD865 or SD865+ SoC.
However, there are reports that the phone may come powered by a MediaTek processor. The phone comes in three variants — 6GB RAM + 128GB Storage, 8GB RAM + 128GB Storage, and 8GB RAM + 512GB Storage.
Apple being forced to remove the popular messaging app, WeChat, from its global App Store could have its iPhone shipments drop by up to 30 percent in the Chinese market.
According to the known analyst, Ming-Chi Kuo, and a report from MacRumors, Apple’s annual iPhone shipments could see a sizeable decline in China in a worst case scenario. After a recent executive order that sought to ban US transactions with WeChat and its parent company Tencent was passed, the Cupertino based giant might have to remove the messaging app from its App Stores across the globe.
Ming-Chi Kuo presented two possible outcomes that covered an optimistic and pessimistic scenario, which depends on whether or not Apple has to remove WeChat from just its US App Store or in its entire global App Store. For those unaware, WeChat is a popular Chinese messaging application that is especially successful in China. A global ban would be devastating to Apple, due to its popularity in China.
Kuo stated that “Because WeChat has become a daily necessity in China, integrating functions such as messaging, payment, e-commerce, social networking, news reading, and productivity, if this is the case, we believe that Apple’s hardware product shipments in the Chinese market will decline significantly. We estimate that the annual iPhone shipments will be revised down by 25–30%, and the annual shipments of other Apple hardware devices, including AirPods, iPad, Apple Watch and Mac, will be revised down by 15–25%.”
In the first quarter of 2019, Vivo introduced a new sub-brand called iQOO to offer “flagship-killer” smartphones. The young brand is only over a year old but it has officially become a partner of BMW M Motorsport for the 2020 DTM (Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters) season.
BBK Electronics’ brands are well-known for sponsoring a variety of sporting events for marketing. Vivo was the title sponsor of IPL (Indian Premier League), a popular cricket league in the country from 2015. Unfortunately, the company had to drop the partnership for the 2020 season due to rising tensions between India and China.
Additionally, the company also scrapped its partnership with the NBA last year due to the Hong Kong protests. But it will still continue to sponsor FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022.
Though Vivo has lost sponsorships for two of the most popular sporting events within a year, its sub-brand iQOO signs its first-ever sponsorship for an international sporting event.
The iQOO partnership with BMW M Motorsport is only for the 2020 DTM league. On this occasion, the brand may launch a limited edition iQOO 5 smartphone scheduled to launch on August 17.

This device will be the brand’s first handset to support the recently announced 120W FlashCharge technology. On the other hand, the German automaker will use “iQOO BMW M4 DTM” car in the 2020 DTM league.
iQOO is yet to enter Europe. With the new BMW partnership, the brand seems to be laying the foundation for launching officially in the region.
Even though the smartphone sales have been on a decline this year because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the year is clearly of 5G smartphones. It has now become a norm for the companies to offer 5G connectivity on their devices.
With 5G going mainstream, the companies are now looking to lower the pricing. In line with this, Coolpad is set to launch a new smartphone named Coolpad X10 which is claimed to be the first 5G smartphone priced at just 1,000 yuan (~$144).
The company will reportedly launch the smartphone on 12th August at 3:00 PM local time in China through an online event. On top of that, at the same time, Coolpad Group, Tianyi Telecom, and Unigroup Zhanrui will also sign strategic cooperation.
The upcoming Coolpad X10 will be supported by China Telecom and use the domestic 5G chip from Unigroup Zhanrui’s Unisoc Tiger Ben T7510. The chipset is manufactured using a 12nm process and packs quad-core A75 CPU + quad-core A55 CPU. There’s also the PowerVR GM9446 graphics processor.
It supports a downlink of 2Gbps and an uplink of 1Gbps. This will be the second smartphone to be powered by the Tiger Ben T7510 SoC, after Hisense F50. Other features of the device will be revealed at the time of launch.
This is an interesting development given that Coolpad is said to have launched the first 4G smartphone priced at 1,000 yuan when the industry was shifting from 2G and 3G to 4G. It also launched the first dual-SIM dual-standby 4G phone.
Coolpad was among the leading Chinese smartphone maker but with the cut-throat competition, the company match up the market demands and almost left the smartphone business. Now, it seems that the company is determined to make a solid comeback. Let’s just wait and see how this goes.
A mysterious Realme RMX2151 phone has recently received certification from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the U.S. After the Realme 6 and its Realme 6s and Realme Narzo, it will be another phone from the brand powered by Helio G90T SoC. The FCC documents have revealed some of the other specs of the device.
The Realme RMX2151 measures 162.35 x 75.46mm. These dimensions are similar to the Realme 6 phone that houses a 6.5-inch FHD+ punch-hole display. Hence, the Realme RMX2151 could be also coming with the same sized screen. The thickness of the RMX2151 is 9.45mm and it weighs 198 grams.
The Realme RMX2151 is backed by a 5,000mAh battery that supports 30W fast charging. The connectivity features available on the handset are 4G, NFC, Bluetooth 5.0, Wi-Fi 802.11ac, GPS, and GLONASS.
The Android OS on the phone is customized with Realme UI 1.0. The phone’s schematic shows that it has a volume buttons on the left edge and a fingerprint scanner on the right edge.
In July, the Realme RMX2151 was approved by the Wi-Fi Alliance authority. The certification revealed that the phone supports Wi-Fi 802.11ac and runs on Android 10 OS. It also revealed that the phone is fueled by MT6785T Helio G90T MediaTek processor. The handset has also been certified by the TKDN authority of Indonesia and the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) in Russia.
In June, OPPO announced the OPPO Reno4 5G and OPPO Reno4 Pro 5G smartphones in June. In July came the 4G version of the Reno4 Prov. The Global Certification Forum (FCC) has approved CPH2091 as Reno4 5G and CPH2089 as Reno4 Pro 5G. Also, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has approved the Reno4 Pro 5G. Hence, it appears that the 5G versions of the Reno4 series will be announced soon.
The GCF listings only confirm the monikers of the CPH2089 and CPH2091 smartphones. The FCC appearance of the Reno4 Pro 5G shows that is runs on ColorOS 7.2 UI based Android 10 OS. It has a 4,000mAh dual-cell battery.

The dimensions of the Reno4 5G global edition are identical with its Chinese variant. Hence, it is likely that the global markets will receive the same Reno4 Pro 5G that debuted in China.
The Reno4 Pro 5G has a 6.55-inch AMOLED FHD+ display with 90Hz refresh rate support. The Snapdragon 765G fuels the device with up to 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of UFS 2.1 storage.

The Realme C15 went official recently in Indonesia. Recent reports have revealed that the country will be soon receiving another C-series phone called Realme C12. A new tweet from Realme India suggests that the company will be soon launching new C-series phones in India. Probably, the country will be receiving the Realme C15 and Realme C12 phones.
We are a #TechTrendsetter brand with a ‘Dare to Leap’ philosophy & diverse product portfolio. The #realme C series was launched with one objective- to provide best-in-class features & the realme experience for every Indian.
The tweet released by Realme does not explicitly reveal the names of the upcoming C-series as Realme C15 and C12. However, it does suggest that India could be receiving more than one C-series handsets. The Realme C12 and C15 phones that are believed to have Realme RMX2189 and RMX2180 model numbers have recently received approval from the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). Also, the C15 was spotted on Realme India’s support page recently. Hence, it appears that these devices are likely to go official soon in India.

It is speculated that its massive 6,000mAh battery will come with downgraded 10W charging support. Apart from India, the device is expected to release in other markets like Indonesia, Thailand, and China. It is likely to bs slotted between Realme C15 and Realme C11 in the market.
Rumors surrounding the Galaxy M51 have claimed that Samsung may unveil it in September. The handset has already received certification from important platforms like the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the U.S. and Bluetooth SIG authority.

Case images of two upcoming Enjoy 20 series phones by Huawei were spotted at Alibaba.com retailer site. These devices were named as Huawei Enjoy 20 and Enjoy 20 Plus. Reports surrounding both phones have revealed that the former has a WKG-AN00 / TN00 model number whereas the FRL-AN00a / FRL-TN00a model number belongs to the latter. Enjoy 20 has already appeared in the database of China’s 3C and TENAA regulatory bodies. Now, the FRL-AN00a that is believed to be the Huawei Enjoy 20 Plus has bagged approval from the 3C authority.
The 3C appearance reveals that FRL-AN00a is a 5G-enabled smartphone. The listing suggests that the phone could be supporting 40W fast charging technology. However, there are contradictory reports that the phone will support 22.5W fast charging. No other specs are mentioned in the 3C listing. Hopefully, the phone will soon emerge at TENAA with its entire specifications and images.
The Huawei Enjoy 20 Plus is rumored to be equipped with a full HD+ 6.6-inch IPS LCD panel with notch-less design. The phone could be sporting a pop-up selfie camera. The back panel of the phone could be featuring a circular camera housing with 48-megapixel triple camera setup and LED flash inside it.
The Enjoy 20 Plus could be drawing power from Kirin 820 5G chipset and up to 8 GB of RAM. The phone may offer users with up to 128 GB of built-in storage.
The device may draw power from a 4,300mAh battery. It seems to be fitted with a side-mounted fingerprint sensor. The EMU 10.1 based Android 10 OS is likely to come preinstalled on the smartphone.
The Redmi K30 series already has six members but it will be adding a seventh one soon. Of these six, only the Redmi K30 Pro and Redmi K30 Pro Zoom have AMOLED displays. They are also the only ones with a 60Hz refresh rate. It has now been reported that the upcoming Redmi K30 Ultra will not only have an AMOLED display but also have a 120Hz refresh rate.
The info comes from ITHome which cites unknown sources. Prior to the info being revealed, Redmi GM, Lu Weibing, had revealed that the Redmi K30 Ultra will fix the shortcomings of the Redmi K30 Pro, and the lack of a high-refresh-rate was one of the cons of the device.
The Redmi K30 Ultra will keep the pop-up selfie camera design of the Pro and Zoom models which means there won’t be a punch hole or notch interrupting that buttery smooth scrolling.
The K30 Ultra will come with MediaTek’s new Dimensity 1000+ processor and paired with up to 8GB of RAM. It has also been reported that it has a 64MP quad-camera setup on the back, a 20MP selfie camera, and a 4500mAh battery. It is expected to be announced alongside the Mi 10 Ultra at Xiaomi’s 10th-anniversary event on Tuesday, August 11.
The Redmi Note 8 Pro already got a successor but it appears Xiaomi (read Redmi) isn’t done with the phone yet.
The official Xiaomi Twitter account has announced that the Redmi Note 8 Pro will get a new Special Edition. Actually, it is a new color variant and the tweet even hints at the color being related to Xiaomi. Since Xiaomi’s official color is orange, it means the new colorway is most likely orange.
A new special edition is about to join our #RedmiNote8Pro family. Can you guess the name of the color?
Back in January, a Twilight Orange color variant of the phone was released in China. At the moment, the color variant is no longer available for purchase. We presume Xiaomi will relaunch the color option, globally this time around and maybe with a special retail box to mark its 10th-year anniversary.
Redmi Note 8 Pro in Twilight Orange
The Redmi Note 8 Pro has a 6.53-inch FHD+ display with a waterdrop notch. It is powered by the Helio G90T processor with up to 8GB of RAM and 256GB of expandable storage. There is a 64MP + 8MP + 2MP + 2MP quad-camera setup on the rear and a 20MP sensor in for the front-facing camera.
The device has a 4500mAh battery with support for 18W fast charge, a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner, NFC, an audio jack, and a USB-C port. It launched with Android 9 Pie but has been upgraded to Android 10.
Samsung announced the Galaxy Note20 last week and it was a surprise when it was revealed that the $999 phone has a plastic back and not glass, like phones in that price range are expected to have.
The smartphone industry has evolved in the past few years. There was a time phones mostly had a polycarbonate body. Later, having a metal unibody was the cool thing, and now a glass back is the reigning design.
There are still a number of phones with plastic bodies, most especially those in the budget segment but we have also seen some mid-range phones (especially from Samsung) come with a plastic back polished to appear like glass (glasstic).
For this week’s poll, we want to know which material you prefer to be used on a phone? Do you prefer the trusted and reliable polycarbonate, the cold feel of metal, or the fragile but beautiful glass? Do take the poll below and also include a comment telling us why you prefer one over the other.
Renowned Japanese video game hardware and software company SNK Corporation, owner of the Neo Geo video game platform made its debut on Xiaomi Youpin platform in March this year when it launched the Asian version of the NEOGEO Mini Game Console priced at 699 yuan (~$100). The hardware came with a free game pad worth 179 yuan (~$25).
SNK has now launched the international version of the NEOGEO Mini game console on the Xiaomi Youpin. This version still retains the original price of the first model and is presently on sale.
The Neo Geo Mini game console is all about classics right from the design to the software inside. The console’s design is reminiscent of the arcade machines of the 1990s. The portable console even has a classic joystick and several sensitive buttons. The design looks like a miniature version of the NEO GEO MVS arcade machine that was popular all over the world.
It has a dimension of 108x135x162mm, weighing in at 390g. It is equipped with a 3.5-inch LCD screen with 4:3 aspect ratio. The console is also equipped with stereo speakers, making it easy to use it on the go coupled with the joystick and buttons.
You can also connect the game console to an external TV and pads. There is an HDMI mini port for output to the TV, a 3.5 mm headphone jack and a power input port (USB-C) at the back of the device. A USB-C cable is included in the box, but there is no charging adapter.
On the software side, the NeoGeo Mini comes preinstalled with 40 popular SNK games including classics such as “The King of Fighters”, “Legend of Hungry Wolf”, and “Metal Slug”.
If you are one of those waiting for a new Mi MIX phone to launch this year, then you will be disappointed to know that there will not be one this year. If you are also waiting for the Mi MIX Alpha to be available for purchase, that won’t be happening either. The info comes from the CEO of Xiaomi, Lei Jun.
The top executive has answered three of the most asked questions by Xiaomi fans. The first question answered is if there will be a Mi MIX this year. In his response, he revealed that the Mi MIX series brings new cutting-edge innovations and that they are working hard to make a new model that will live up to expectations. However, a new MI MIX model will take some time before it arrives.
In his answer to the frequently asked question about when the Mi MIX Alpha will be mass-produced, Lei Jun clarified that the phone was a research project and they attained their goal. However, the challenges of mass production are too high which is why the device will not be mass-produced. Instead, they have decided to focus on making the next-gen Mi MIX phone.
The third question answered was about the future of Xiaomi’s Surge chips. In his response, he revealed they have encountered some major difficulties, despite that, they have not ceased the development of new processors.
Nr. Lei Jun said more questions will be answered at the 10th-anniversary launch on August 11.
iQOO is Vivo’s sub-brand and it has already announced a handful of smartphones since its debut last year. However, smartphones may not be the only product we will be getting from the brand based on recent trademark applications.
It turns out that Vivo has filed trademark applications for “iQOO PAD” and “iQOOBOOK”, and there are speculations that they point at new product categories – tablets and notebooks respectively to be precise. The trademark applications were filed in June according to the image below from ITHome.
iQOO planning to launch products other than smartphones should not come as a surprise as there is hardly any Chinese smartphone manufacturer that only makes phones. Take Redmi for example, whose portfolio now includes washing machines, notebooks, and TVs.
It is important to state that these iQOO products may not launch anytime soon and this may just be a plan by Vivo to secure the trademarks. Nevertheless, we look forward to their arrival and to what new features they will bring to the market.
The Mi Note 10 Lite launched in April as a more affordable version of the 2019 Mi Note 10. To keep the price low, Xiaomi made some tradeoffs mainly in the camera department. For example, the 108MP primary camera is replaced with a 64MP sensor.
Xiaomi didn’t launch the original Mi Note 10 series in India and neither did the Mi Note 10 Lite get an Indian launch. However, a new finding has revealed the Mi Note 10 Lite will be coming to India but under the name Mi 10i.
Evidence of this was found in a bit of code, part of which is shown in the image below. As you can see, the Mi Note 10 Lite with its 64MP quad-camera setup is codenamed “toco”. Right below it is another phone with a 64MP quad-camera setup too, the codename “tocoin”, and the product name “Mi 10i”.
One can deduce that “tocoin” is short for “toco india” which means an Indian version of the Mi Note 10 Lite but that will be launching as the Mi 10i.
The source of the info, @_the_tech_guy, didn’t say when the device will launch but we expect it will be announced this quarter. Those who live in India and who have set their eyes on the Mi Note 10 Lite will surely be excited at the news.
The Mi Note 10 Lite launched in Europe for €349 (~INR 30,845) for the 64GB model and €399 (~INR 35,264) for the 128GB version. That sure is pricey considering there are more powerful devices selling for less in India right now. For example, the 6GB+64GB OnePlus Nord launching next month is priced at INR 24,999. The 12GB + 256GB version is even INR 29,999 which is still cheaper than the base model of the Mi Note 10 Lite. We are curious to see how the Mi 10i will be priced in India.
Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Lite
The Mi Note 10 Lite has a 6.47-inch curved AMOLED display with an FHD+ resolution. It is covered with Gorilla Glass 5, has a 91.4% screen-to-body ratio, TUV Rehiland low blue-light certification, and supports HDR10. There us a Snapdragon 730G processor under the hood with 6GB of RAM and 64GB or 128GB of storage.
The quad-camera setup includes a 64MP primary camera, an 8MP 120° ultra-wide-angle camera, a 5MP depth sensor, and a 2MP macro camera. The selfie camera inside the notch is a 16MP sensor. The device can record in 4K and also supports 960fps slow-motion recording. Other features are NFC, an in-display fingerprint scanner, an IR blaster, and audio jack, and a 5260mAh battery with support for 30W fast charging.
Samsung released its new lineup of flagship tablets and it seems this time the Korean giant is very serious about providing the best productivity tablet despite it runs the Android operating system. We think there are no better ways to understand the potentialities of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7+ (the higher-end variant of the new lineup) than comparing it with the flagship tablets from other smartphone manufacturers. If we exclude Samsung tablets, the best tablets released from the top brands in the smartphone market are the Huawei MatePad Pro and the latest iPad Pro. Note that the iPad Pro 2020 comes in two variants with 11 and 12.9-inch displays which obviously carry different prices.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S7+ vs Apple iPad Pro vs Huawei MatePad Pro
Huawei MediaPad Pro
Samsung Galaxy Tab S7+ 5G
Apple iPad Pro 11 2020
DIMENSIONS AND WEIGHT
246 x 159 x 7.2 mm, 460 g
285 x 185 x 5.7 mm, 575 grams
247.6 x 178.5 x 5.9 mm, 468 g
DISPLAY
10.8 inches, 1600 x 2560p (Quad HD+), IPS LCD
12.4 inches, 1752 x 2800p (Quad HD+), Super AMOLED
All of these tablets come with amazing aesthetics and the most beautiful designs seen in the tablet market. They all feature very narrow bezels around their displays, as well as an aluminum unibody design. I personally love the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7+ because it is thinner than its rivals. The Apple iPad Pro is lighter, while the Huawei MatePad Pro is more compact due to its smaller display. They all support a stylus, but the one of the Galaxy Tab S7+ comes with more advanced features and amazing performances, including a 9 ms response time just like the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra.
Display
The most advanced display belongs to the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7+. First of all, it is the only one to sport an AMOLED panel. Further, it has a 120 Hz refresh rate, while Huawei MatePad Pro does not. The iPad Pro is 120 Hz as well, but it comes with an IPS panel. It is a very nice IPS, but the colors provided by the AMOLED panel of the Galaxy Tab S7+ and its HDR10+ certification are able to provide a better image quality. Note that Huawei MatePad Pro has a smaller 10.8-inch panel, while Galaxy Tab S7+ sports a 12.4-inch and iPad Pro is available in two variants with 11 and 12.9-inch panels.
Hardware/Software
On the paper, the most advanced hardware department belongs to the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7+ which is powered by the new Snapdragon 865+ mobile platform paired with up to 8 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS 3.0 internal storage. But despite that, iPad Pro is able to provide very similar performance thanks to the better optimization of the iPadOS operating system. It even comes with more interesting productivity features and more productivity apps than Android. Several professional apps are available only for iPadOS, at least for now. But you should not forget that Samsung Galaxy Tab S7+ offers an amazing desktop experience, especially while connected to external monitors.
Camera
The iPad Pro wins the camera comparison. It packs a triple camera arrangement on the rear side, including a LiDAR scanner which is able to track depth in a very accurate way for AR and VR appliances. The silver medal goes to the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7+ which comes with an ultrawide dual camera. The Huawei MatePad Pro still comes with a decent rear camera, but it is inferior to both. Note that in each case, we are far from top camera phones and close to mid-rangers in terms of camera performance.
Battery
Samsung Galaxy Tab S7+ has the biggest battery and it should provide a longer battery life on a single charge. Right after, there is the iPad Pro which still comes with a great battery. But the Huawei MatePad Pro is the only one to support wireless charging, as well as reverse wireless charging. Further, its wired charging technology is faster with the power of 40W.
Price
Samsung Galaxy Tab S7+ starts from $849/€900, Huawei MatePad Pro (4G version) can easily be found for less than $589/€500, and iPad Pro starts from $749/€899. The Huawei MatePad Pro allows saving a lot of money, but it does not stand a chance against its rivals. The iPad Pro has better cameras, a more interesting OS for productivity, and amazing performance, while Samsung Galaxy Tab S7+ provides a better pen, display, and probably even longer battery life.
The Galaxy Watch3 is just a few days ago and it has already received an update. The update brings some of the features that were announced at launch including blood oxygen monitoring.
First reported by SamMobile, the 80MB update brings blood oxygen monitoring so users can see how well their respiratory system carries oxygen around their body. Samsung states in the changelog that the feature is not available in Algeria, Angola, Canada, France, Iran, Japan, Libya, South Africa, and Thailand.
Another feature that the update brings is Advanced Running Analysis which provides a detailed insight into how you run and how to improve.
There is also support for VO2 max and Sleep Score. The former will provide a reading for the amount of oxygen used during exercise to improve your endurance while sleep score will provide a new way to understand your sleep pattern.
ECG Monitoring is not live yet in a lot of countries including the US. However, the FDA has granted Samsung approval for it.
The Huawei Enjoy 20 Pro 5G debuted in June as the first Enjoy 20 series phone. Recent reports have revealed that there are three more devices in the series such as Huawei Enjoy 20, Enjoy 20s, and Enjoy 20 Plus. Recently, the Chinese firm unveiled the Maimang 9 phone in China. Reports surrounding it have revealed that the Enjoy 20s is the other name of the phone. Enjoy 20 is believed to be the WKG-AN00 / TN00 that was recently approved by TENAA whereas the FRL-AN00a / AN00 / TN00 model number belongs to the Enjoy 20 Plus. The case images of the Enjoy 20 and Enjoy 20+ have surfaced on Chinese retailer Alibaba to reveal their front and rear design.
