Alongside the Red Magic 5S, Nubia has revealed it will announce the Red Magic Wi-Fi 6 Gaming Router. The manufacturer has also sent out an unusual item as the invite to Tuesday’s launch event.
The Red Magic Wi-Fi 6 Gaming Router is shaped like a cube. The top itself has a Red Magic logo that glows red while “Wi-Fi 6” is inscribed on one of its sides. The router has a silver finish and the four corners of the top are air vents.
The post by Ni Fei, Nubia’s CEO, says the Wi-Fi 6 router brings support for game acceleration when connected to Red Magic phones. He also stated that the router uses a high-performance CPU and has OFDMA technology that allows multiple devices to enjoy the benefits of Wi-Fi 6 simultaneously. Also, the router uses a mesh network for wider coverage and stronger wall penetration.
In related news, Nubia has also sent out an unusual invite for its event on Tuesday, July 28. The device manufacturer sent a portable fan with a built-in retro brick game.
The fan has seven blades, comes in white, and has the familiar Red Magic logo in the middle. The handle has been made significantly wider compared to other portable fans. This is so that it can house the components of the game which includes a screen.
The event on Tuesday is said to be for the launch of the Red Magic 5S and a bunch of ecological products. So we expect other products other than the phone and the router will be announced on that day.
Realme has a new product line called the V-series and the first phone in the series is the Realme V5. It has already been revealed the phone will be announced tomorrow on July 27. Now, a listing on Tmall has revealed when it will go on sale and a few key specifications including the processor powering it.
According to the retail site, the Realme V5 will go on sale on August 3 at 14:00. That is exactly a week after it launches tomorrow.
The listing includes some key specs of the device, chief of them being the processor which is the new MediaTek Dimensity 720 5G chipset. It also includes the display size which is a 6.5-inch screen with a 1080 x 2400 resolution. As we already know, the Realme V5 has a punch hole in the top left corner of its screen.
TMall says the phone will be available in two configurations – 6GB RAM + 128GB and 8GB RAM + 128GB. There will also be three color variants – Silver, Blue, and “Light of Dawn”. Other mentioned specs are 48MP quad cameras, Android 10, and Dual-SIM support.
Also, the TMall listing says the Realme V5 has model number RMX2111. A phone with the model number has already been certified by TENAA and also had its full spec sheet publicized.
The TENAA spec sheet confirms the aforementioned specs. It also reveals the quad rear cameras are a 48MP + 8MP + 2MP + 2MP configuration while the selfie camera is a 16MP sensor. There is support for storage expansion (256GB max.) and the battery capacity is 4900mAh (~5000mAh).
The images on TENAA also show the phone has a side-mounted fingerprint scanner which should mean the screen is an LCD panel.
The price of the phone is unknown but we expect it to be pretty affordable with a starting price of under $200.
When it comes to noise-cancelling headphones, Sony’s WH-1000XM3 is perhaps the top contender for the best option available. But Samsung is hoping to wrestle that position from Sony with the launch of the AKG Y600 NC headphones with active noise cancellation alongside the Y400 headphones.
The Y600 NC offers 25 hours of wireless battery life with noise cancellation turned on and will offer 4 hours playback from a ten-minute charge. Two hours is required for a full charge over the USB-C connection.
Apart from noise cancellation, the headphones have smart ambient aware modes that can let external sound in through the mic along with your tunes (perfect for, say, when zooming around on an electric scooter), as well as a TalkThru option that will automatically dip the volume of your tunes when the headphones recognise you’re having a conversation. Music will automatically pause when you take off the headphones and resume when you replace them.
The over-ears feature memory foam cups and protein leather ear cushions. They also have some built-in savvy hardware controls too such as wind an ear cup to increase the volume, and double-tap the physical play button for voice assistant access, which supports Bixby and Google Assistant on Android, and Siri on iOS devices.
Weighing 322g, the headsets feature 40mm drivers and offer a frequency response range of 10Hz – 24kHz.
Samsung AKG Y400
The compact headphones are on instead of over-ears and are intended for comfort, weighing simply 170g. Offering 20-hour battery life, you’ll get 4 hours from a brief charge over USB-C. The headphones also come with the volume controlled by the earcups, as well as auto-play and pause. There is also ambient aware and TalkThru modes.
The Y400 features a 36mm driver and 20Hz to 20kHz response range.
Samsung AKG Y600 NC & Y400 Prices
The headphones are already available on Samsung UK store and will be sold by retail partners as well. Here are the prices;
The Y600 NC is available in Black, Gold and Silver with an RRP of £199.00
The Y400 is available in Black, Blue, Green, Pink and Rose Gold with an RRP of £109.00
The Redmi K30 Pro was announced in March and made available in four colors. Redmi has announced today that a fifth color variant will be unveiled tomorrow. However, we do not have to wait until tomorrow to know what it looks like as the new color variant has already been listed on Mi.com.
The teaser post on Weibo by Redmi says the new color variant takes inspiration from the beach with its “seawater, soft sand, and breeze”. And as you can see, it reflects in the color of the device which is a mix of marine blue (color of the sea) and brown (color of beach sand). A translation of the name of the new color variant on Xiaomi’s official website is “Aqua Skylight”.
The new color variant will be available in three configurations – 8GB RAM + 128GB, 12GB RAM + 128GB, and 8GB RAM + 256GB. Unfortunately, Redmi has decided to not make it available in the 6GB RAM + 128GB configuration. The Redmi K30 Pro Aqua Skylight should be available for purchase tomorrow.

Redmi K30 Pro Aqua Skylight
The Redmi K30 Pro has a 6.67-inch Super AMOLED display with a pop-up selfie camera. It is powered by the Snapdragon 865 processor that draws power from a 4700mAh battery with support for 30W fast charging.
The phone has a 64MP primary rear camera that comes along with a 5MP telephoto camera, a 13MP ultrawide angle camera, and a 2MP depth sensor. The motorized selfie camera is a 20MP sensor. Other features of the phone are an IR blaster, NFC, audio jack, and an in-display fingerprint scanner.
Last year, Xiaomi announced its very first ebook reader called the MiReader. The product is exclusive to China but it may be getting a global release soon under the name MI Ebook Reader.
The MI Ebook Reader has been spotted on the database of the Bluetooth SIG. The device received its Bluetooth certification on July 23 and the certificate shows it will connect via Bluetooth 5.0.
Lately, Xiaomi has been launching outside China more of its non-smartphone products. Just a few weeks ago, it launched the Mi Portable Electric Air Compressor in India. The portable inflator launched in China more than a year ago before getting a global release. Its Mi Notebook PCs have also made their way out of China. So it is no surprise that it wants to launch its Ebook reader outside China.
The MiReader has a 6-inch e-Ink screen with a PPI of 221. There is also a 24-level adjustable front-lit LED, so owners can read in the dark. It is powered by an Allwinner processor paired with 1GB of RAM and 16GB of storage. The e-book reader supports several file formats including epub, PDF, DOC, XLS, TXT, and PDF. Users can also sideload their own content onto the device.
We can’t say how soon the MI Ebook Reader will launch but we sure will update you when we have more details.
A few days ago, Huawei’s TalkBand B6 leaked. The source provided images as well as a hands-on video of the fitness tracker that doubles as a Bluetooth headset, now more images have surfaced.
The new photos, posted by the same leaker, show the four colors the TalkBand 6 will come in. There is a steel version, a beige leather version, and two silicone strap versions that come in red and black. Save for the steel strap version, the other three already appeared in the first leak.
The Huawei TalkBand B6 has a 1.53-inch curved AMOLED display. It has a built-in voice assistant and FIRSTBEAT professional sports coach. There is also 24-hour heart rate measurement, SP02 measurement, sleep tracking, app notifications, and more.
The TalkBand B6 also features the same Kirin A1 chip that Huawei has been shipping with its TWS earbuds and smartwatches for better Bluetooth connection and better power management.
It has also been reported that the headset has Bluetooth 5.2 which has a range of 150 meters. There is fast charging (via USB-C) too, such that users will be able to talk for up to 4 hours after a few minutes of charging.
Its been just three months since Huawei announced the Children’s Watch 3 Pro Super Version. Now a new model called the Huawei Children’s Watch 4X has leaked with new features and a refreshed design.
An image of the smartwatch was shared on Weibo by @看山的叔叔, the same source that posted details of the yet-to-be-announced Huawei TalkBand B6 a few days ago.
The Huawei Children’s Watch 4X is shown in white in the image. There is a camera above the display while the second camera sensor is at a 90° angle, pointing away from the wearer. This second camera can be used to record or take pictures of the surroundings of the child in case of emergencies.
The watch has two red buttons on the right side; one is marked “HOME” and doubles as the power button while the second is marked “FUN”. On the left side of the watch is the SIM tray.
The watch face in the image shows the time, date, battery level, and also the number of steps taken by the wearer. There is also an inscription on the strap that says the Huawei Children’s Watch 4X is water-resistant up to 5 ATM.
In a separate Weibo post, the leaker said the watch will be announced on July 30, which is just a few days away.
OPPO just launched its most affordable 5G phone ever: the OPPO A72 5G. Finally, even this company released a very affordable device with the support of 5G connectivity. The handset debuted in the Chinese market, where you can actually find a lot of very affordable phones with 5G. Is it really the best choice in the market or there is something better? In order to find it out, we decided to compare it with two handsets which are currently very affordable but they still support 5G: the Honor X10 and the Redmi 10X which are the latest offerings by Xiaomi and Huawei in the low-end segment. After reading this comparison, you can let us know your impressions by using the comment box.

Design
Which design you should go for? In this case, it mostly depends on your tastes. Do you prefer having a beautiful look or a better build quality? If you like to have a modern and futuristic look, maybe OPPO A72 5G and Honor X10 5G are better choices for you. The former features a punch-hole design to get rid of bezels around the display, while the latter has a full-screen display thanks to a motorized pop-up camera. The Honor X10 also comes with a higher screen-to-body ratio. On the other hand, Redmi 10X offers a glass back for a more premium build quality. The glass back is protected by Corning’s Gorilla Glass 5, just like the display.
Display
The most stunning display belongs to the Redmi 10X. Despite being a very affordable device, it is one of the few to feature an AMOLED panel with more brilliant colors and deeper blacks than a typical IPS panel. Further, it features the HDR10+ certification for better image quality, especially on streaming platforms. The handset even comes with very high brightness: 600 nits, according to the company. OPPO A72 5G and Honor X10 are equipped with average IPS panels with a Full HD+ resolution, but they feature a high 90 Hz refresh rate. But given that Redmi 10X has a better image quality, we would not mind about its standard refresh rate.
Specs & Software
If you need the highest performance, choose the Honor X10. It is fueled by the Kirin 820 5G chipset which can be compared to the Snapdragon 765G in terms of CPU and GPU performance. You also get up to 8 GB of RAM. The silver medal goes to the Redmi 10X sporting a Dimensity 820 processor paired with up to 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of native storage. The OPPO A72 5G is the first phone with the Dimensity 720, but it is an inferior chipset to Kirin 820 5G and Dimensity 820. With Oppo A72 5G, Redmi 10X, and Honor X10, you get a highly-customized user interface based on Android 10.
Camera
According to the specs on the paper, the best camera quality should be provided by the OPPO A72 5G and Honor X10. It is still too early to give a definitive verdict since we did not test both the devices. But we can tell you that the sensors of the Redmi 10X are actually inferior to both OPPO A72 5G and Honor X10.
The Redmi 10X has the biggest battery and, thanks to its more efficient display and its higher battery capacity, it will last a lot more than its two rivals on a single charge. The Honor X10 comes right after with its 4300 mAh battery and 7 nm chipset. But we do not expect the OPPO A72 5G to be disappointing.
Price
Honor X10 has a €274/$319 starting price, Redmi 10X starts from €240/$280, and OPPO A72 5G costs €230/$197. Despite being more affordable, Redmi 10X is the best choice of this comparison for those who need a better display and longer battery life. But if you want better cameras and hardware, you should choose the Honor X10. With its great cameras and stereo speakers, the OPPO A72 5G sits in the middle and it will probably be a better option for a lot of people if it hits the global market, given that Huawei devices lack Google services.
OPPO A72 5G vs Huawei Honor X10 vs Xiaomi Redmi 10X: PRO and CONS
The LG UV phone disinfection was included in the LG Velvet review unit shipped to XDA-Developer writer, Max Weinbach. As you can see in the image below included in his tweet, the device has LG Velvet inscribed on it. There is also a lightning logo which might mean that the box is also capable of charging devices.
Unfortunately, the device doesn’t seem to be available for purchase. We checked the official LG Korea and LG US websites but didn’t find it listed there. Hopefully, LG will make it available to the public soon.
There are a bunch of phone sterilizers you can purchase for your device that will kill the germs on your device. So if Samsung or LG’s sterilizer isn’t available, you can pick one up from a third-party, just make sure you read the reviews. Another option to keep your phone clean is by using recommended cleaning procedures you can carry out at home.
Smartphones these days leak months ahead of their official launch. The Galaxy S20 series is barely six months old but the model numbers of its successor Galaxy S21 series are already out in the public. That said, the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra will be unveiled in a few days from now. But due to current leak culture, we know everything about this device. As we are nearing close to the launch date, the press renders of all the color variants have now leaked as well.
1 of 3
Initially, Samsung itself mistakenly outed the promotional picture of Galaxy Note 20 Ultra in Mystic Bronze on its official website. Followed by that, popular leaker Evan Blas aka @evkeaks began to drop renders on his Patreon including a 360° version.
Then, WinFuture once again shared the renders of the handset in the same color along with Mystic Black variant. In the same report, the publication also revealed support for Microsoft xCloud game streaming service, an improved S Pen and the complete spec sheet.
Then, at last, came the render of Galaxy Note 20 Ultra in Mystic White color, courtesy of Ishan Agarwal in partnership with 91Mobiles. The only thing we don’t know about this forthcoming device is its price, which we think will be out before the official launch on August 5.
An inside program at Google known as “Android Lockbox” can give the organization’s representatives access to data about how Android clients interface with famous, non-Google applications and services, as indicated in a report filed by The Information. The program, which works by means of Google Mobile Services, implies that representatives can apparently observe “delicate” information about different applications, including how frequently they’re opened and for how long they’re utilized.
Sources guarantee this data has been utilized to watch opponents to Google’s Gmail administration or to screen Facebook and Instagram utilization. Google is additionally thought to have utilized it to design the dispatch of its TikTok rival, Shorts. The Information takes note of that Google’s workers need to demand authorization to see this information now and again, and that these solicitations are in some cases denied.
The report comes as Google’s business is confronting an extreme measure of antitrust examination in the US. Google CEO Sundar Pichai is expected to affirm in Congress; the organization is confronting an antitrust examination by pretty much every US state, and the Justice Department is apparently intending to record its very own antitrust instance. Despite the fact that these examinations are accepted to concentrate on the organization’s inquiry and advertisement organizations, revelations about conceivable out of line Android strategic policies are probably not going to be invited.
The Information reports that Android Lockbox gets its most helpful data when clients consent to impart data to Google as a major aspect of the Android arrangement process. Clients are informed that this information permits Google to offer an increasingly customized understanding, yet The Information says it likewise gives information to serious exploration.
Reacting to The Information’s report, Google conceded that it approaches use information from rival applications, yet it said that the program is open and that different engineers can likewise get to comparative information. Be that as it may, Google’s scope with the program is accepted to be far more extensive, since it covers any gadget with Google’s preinstalled applications, while different designers can just observe data from telephones that have their applications. Google said that the information doesn’t give data about how individuals carry on while they’re utilizing individual applications, however, it wouldn’t state whether it had been utilized to create contending applications.
The information accumulated is unknown and isn’t by and by recognizable, The Information says. Google says the information assortment is unveiled to clients and that they have authority over it.
A Google representative disclosed in an email to The Verge that “Since 2014, the Android App Usage Data API has been used by Google and Android developers who have been authorized by Android OEMs or users to access basic data about app usage—such as how often apps are opened—to analyze and improve services.”
The Google representative also disclosed that app usage information is “obtained solely via this API” and may be used to allocate battery power to frequently-used apps, for Google’s Digital Wellbeing features, and to improve app discovery in its Play Store. “The API doesn’t obtain any information about in-app activity and our collection of this data is disclosed to and controllable by users,” the representative said.
Google isn’t the main organization that has been blamed for attempting to assemble information from rival companies. In 2017, a report from The Wall Street Journal said that Facebook utilized a VPN administration it owned named, Onavo, to view rival services and plan its acquisitions, for example, WhatsApp. The application was closed down in 2019.
AnTuTu score is a bragging right for several manufacturers, and with the second set of flagships for the year beginning to arrive, the battle has been rekindled. Today, Ni Fei, the CEO of Nubia, has shared the AnTuTu score of the upcoming Red Magic 5S gaming smartphone.
According to a screenshot of the AnTuTu score shared on Weibo, the Red Magic 5 scored a total of 659,586 points. That is even higher than the 648,871 points scored by the Lenovo Legion Phone Duel.
Nubia Red Magic 5S AnTuTu ScoreRed Magic 5S Master Lu score
The Red Magic 5G’s higher score may be as a result of its GPU which is said to be overclocked. The CEO also shared the device’s Master Lu benchmark score which is 616,085 points. Unfortunately, neither of the screenshots include the specs of the phone.
The Red Magic 5S will have a 144Hz refresh rate, a 320Hz touch-sampling rate, shoulder buttons, LPDDR5 RAM, UFS 3.1 storage, liquid cooling, and be powered by a Snapdragon 865 Plus processor. It is expected to run Android 10 out of the box and Nubia has also confirmed it will have a screen-casting feature along with a new low-latency virtual remote controller.
The phone is scheduled to launch on Tuesday, the 28th of July. The gaming phone will be announced alongside the Nubia Watch.
The August 5 Galaxy Unpacked event is not so far away. Samsung is expected to unveil a number of products on that day apart from Galaxy Note 20 series. Two of them are accessories namely Galaxy Watch 3 and Galaxy Buds Live. Now, just a few days ahead of their launch, some of their unique features have been revealed, thanks to their plugin apps (companion apps) on Google Play Store.
Samsung has prematurely published the plugin apps of Galaxy Watch 3 and Galaxy Buds Live on Play Store. This has resulted in a revelation of features that remained wrapped up until now despite numerous render leaks
Having said that, here are some interesting previously unknown features of South Koren tech giant’s upcoming accessories.
Galaxy Watch 3 Features
The teardown of the Galaxy Watch 3 Plugin app was carried out by Max Weinbach of XDA Developers. He found out new gestures, fall detection, and a plethora of default watch faces.
Talking about gestures first, since the Galaxy Watch 3 will come with a speaker, users will be able to clench and unclench their wrist to accept calls and start conversing. Similarly, they will have an option to decline calls by shaking their hand. Also, the screenshot gesture will be different and it will only require users to press both side buttons instead of holding the button and swiping left at the same time.
The most important and useful feature will be the new “Fall Detection” functionality similar to Apple Watches. When the wearable detects a fall, it will ring for 60 seconds and if the user doesn’t respond, it will text their location and 5 seconds sound recording to their emergency contacts.
Lastly, there will be a total of 47 default watch faces. Apart from these, users will be also able to install other watch faces from the store.
Galaxy Buds Live Features
Just like with the Galaxy Watch 3, the Galaxy Buds Live Plugin app confirms all the previously leaked features (via The Verge). The main highlight of this upcoming TWS will be ANC (Active Noise Cancellation).
The app also has tutorials to pair the herdable to devices along with a short instruction clip on how to wear it. Well-known leaker Ishan Agarwal shared this video on Twitter.
Further, the app confirms support for customizing touch controls and other features like find buds as well as equalizer option to name a few. Last but not least, the Galaxy Buds Live will also able to read notifications aloud to users.
The Black Shark 3 launched early this year but unlike previous Black Shark phones, it came along with a Pro version called the Black Shark 3 Pro that has a bigger and sharper screen, bigger battery, and even takes the storage options to 512GB. Now, the Black Shark 3S is coming, and it has been reported that there will be no Pro version.
The Black Shark 3S is expected to launch soon with a Snapdragon 865 Plus processor powering it, however, there will be “no large-screen version” says a rough translation of a Weibo post by Chinese leaker, Digital Chat Station.
He adds that the Pro model will be for the flagship released at the beginning of the year which means the Black Shark 4/5 should have a Pro version.
Not a lot is known about the specifications of the Black Shark 3S. The CEO only teased the device a few days ago and has not revealed anything afterward. Nevertheless, we expect it will have an AMOLED display, a high-refresh-rate, stereo speakers, and nothing less than 65W fast charging.
As usual, Qualcomm‘s next-generation flagship platform Snapdragon 875 will be unveiled in the fourth quarter of this year but we’ll have o wait until Q1 2021 to find it inside a commercially available smartphone. Details have now emerged about the next-gen mobile platform. Tipster Roland Quandt has revealed that the Snapdragon 875 (SM8350)adopts the internal codename Lahaina. The name is originally that of a city in Maui, one of the seven Hawaiian Islands.
A previous leak tips the next-generation Qualcomm chipset to adopt the name Snapdragon 875G instead of Snapdragon 875. However, Qualcomm is yet to confirm the name yet so we’ll stick with SD875.
Pretty sure Qualcomm Snapdragon 875 (SM8350) is called "Lahaina" internally. Named after a city on the island of Maui, Hawaii.
The flagship processor will be built on the 5nm process. Qualcomm will reportedly introduce a super-large core architectural combination, which is Cortex X1+Cortex A78. ARM details the Cortex X1 core architecture to provide a maximum performance that is 30% higher than that of Cortex-A77 and 23% higher than the maximum performance of the Cortex-A78 core released at the same time. The machine learning capability is said to be twice that of Cortex-A78.
Furthermore, Qualcomm will no longer utilise an external baseband design on the Snapdragon 875G but the baseband chip will be integrated with the processor with improvement in the performance.
Huawei is set to launch Maimang 9, the company’s next 5G smartphone on July 27. According to a new tip by a blogger on Weibo, this handset will not be the only new product from the firm next week. Because the Chinese telecom giant is also expected to unveil MateBook D 15 2020 Ryzen Edition, the successor to MatePad M6 10.8, and Kids Watch 4X on July 30.
Huawei and its sub-brand Honor have been launching new products every month since the beginning of this year despite COVID-19 pandemic. Due to their aggressive launches, both the brands together ruled the Chinese smartphone market in H1 2020 with 40% market share.
If you are our regular reader, then you might be aware that Huawei and Honor have not only been releasing new smartphones but all sorts of products like laptops, tablets, routers, smartwatches, and others.
Looks like the Chinese tech giant will continue to do the same for H2 2020. It makes sense for the company to launch as many as products in its home country as its losing grounds in international markets.
Having said that, the tip about the launch of a variety of new products come from 看山的叔叔, a blogger on Weibo. As per him, Huawei will hold a press event to release MateBook D 15 2020 Ryzen Edition, which we expect to share features with the recently launched Honor MagicBook 15 2020 Ryzen Edition.
The company will not only unveil new laptops but it is also expected to launch the successor to the last year’s MatePad M6 10.8, and Kids Watch 4X. All of these products will go official on July 30 if the blogger is true.
Last week, TSMC confirmed that it stopped accepting new chip orders from Huawei from May 15 after the new US government regulations. But still, the Chinese telecom giant’s silicon division HiSilicon officially unveiled a new 28m ATV (Advanced Television) chip with support for in-house LiteOS on July 24.
Huawei is known for its HiSilicon chipsets, which power almost all the hardware the company makes like network equipment and smartphones to name a few. Also, most of the firm’s chips are manufactured by TSMC, the world’s largest semiconductor manufacturing company.
Unfortunately, the US cut off Huawei’s business with TSMC with new rules in May. Thus, the company is now left without a high-end chipmaker. It does have a domestic partner by the name of SMIC, which currently mass produces the 14nm Kirin 710F chipset.
We think the same company could be manufacturing the brand-new HiSilicon 28nm ATV chip. Just like its manufacturer, the details about this chipset is bleak as well.
According to ITHome, this new silicon from Huawei is targeted at non-smart TVs with 1080p (FHD) or lower resolution displays. It is said to be 20% powerful than other conventional chips that are mostly based on 40nm architecture.
Further, this HiSilicon chip also includes an integrated TCON (Timing Control) module to further reduce the overall cost of the TV. Additionally, it also supports the company’s real-time operating system called LiteOS.
For those unaware, this OS based on ultra-small kernel (< 10KB) requires low memory to operate and therefore, it is energy efficient. It boots up faster within certain milliseconds as well as supports multi-process synchronization, dynamic loading, access to different cloud platforms, and more. It is normally found on Huawei wearables and IoT products.
Also, this Huawei ATV chip supports various input ports such as analog, HDMI, VGA, CVBS, USB, and others. Last but not least, it also includes support for the company’s SWS (Super Wide Sound) sound effects to offer better audio experience.
Having said that, the availability of this new 28nm HiSilicon ATV chip is not known. Mostly, it will be limited to the Chinese market given the current situation.
Nubia is currently known for its Red Magic lineup of gaming smartphones but the brand also makes unique wearables. Last year, it launched Nubia Alpha as the world’s first commercially available wearable phone with a flexible display. For this year, the company has begun to tease a new wearable simply called Nubia Watch.
The teaser image only gives us a glimpse of Nubia Watch’s design but it does confirm it to feature a flexible OLED display and 316L stainless steel + aluminium body. Apart from these two things, we could not make anything else out of the picture except for a crown on the right side and a measurement scale for some reason.
The software on this smartwatch is a mystery. If we recall, the Nubia Alpha is powered by a custom OS based on Android. Maybe, the upcoming device will come with the same.
Anyway, we expect the brand to tease more features of the Nubia Watch before its launch next week just. Also, we think it may retail at a cheaper price than the Alpha.
Samsung will be launching the Galaxy M31s smartphone on July 30. The other Galaxy M-series phone that is expected to go official in August or September is the Galaxy M51. Recently, the M51 was seen receiving approval from the Bluetooth SIG authority. So far, the rumor mill has revealed only a few pieces of information on the specs of the Galaxy M51. A fresh report on Sammobilehas revealed some vital information about the cameras of the M51.
A previous report had revealed that the Galaxy M51 could be sporting a 64-megapixel camera. Today, the publication revealed that the main lens will be coupled with a 12-megapixel ultrawide sensor. It could be the same superwide lens that is available on the Galaxy A51 phone.
While it is being said that the Galaxy M51 could be featuring a quad-camera system on its rear, there are no details regarding the other two lenses. The upcoming Galaxy M31s has support for Single Take camera mode for its 64-megapixel lens.
