With the market demand for 5G handset soaring, the need for chips that support the newer and faster bandwidth has also increased. MediaTek is one such supplier of 5G chips with a new report suggesting its budget Dimensity 600 SoC which may launch within this quarter.
At the moment, finer details regarding the Dimensity 600 processor is still unavailable. However, industry sources close to the matter have said that it will be very competitive. This aggressiveness might be in relation to its pricing as it is expected to be placed below the Dimensity 800 series, which was already targetted towards mid range handsets.
According to the report, the known chipmaker is expecting the new chips to see the most number of 5G related shipments in the fourth quarter of 2020, with the first smartphones with the latest chips launching sometime in the third quarter. Unfortunately, this is still unconfirmed so take it with a pinch of salt and we will be providing more updates as more information is available. So stay tuned.
While 8K television has been available in China for a while now, there is actually no 8K content readily available in the country. Owners of 8K TVs had to look for content upscaled to 8K since no true native 8K resolution shows were available. But now, a new show in China has apparently finished filming and is the first to have been recorded in 8K resolutions.
The new TV series is called “Love In Shanghai,” which is based on a novel by Yifei. It is directed Meng Ji and stars actors Guo Jingfei and Wang Luodan. Notably, the series theater adaptation has already received honors back in 2011 for its script, so there are quite a number of people looking forward to it. Thanks to 8K technology, the production has been shot in ultra high resolutions with vivid colors.
For those unaware, 8K has a resolution of 7680 x 4320px, with a total of 33 million pixels. In other words, its pixels count is 4 times higher than 4K resolution and 16 time higher than the current mainstream resolution of 1080p. At the moment, there are only a few TVs that support such ultra high resolutions in China. A great example being Samsung with its new QLED 8K TV Q950TS, which is the new flagship TV that launched back in May 2020. So for those that have such a high end TV, you can enjoy the story based in Shanghai in ultra high quality.
WhatsApp is the world’s most used instant messaging app. Nonetheless, it is always late to introduce new features that are found on competitors like Telegram. That said, the Facebook-owned messaging platform is finally rolling out support for animated stickers for users on all the platforms.
Animated stickers on WhatsApp was recently spotted in Beta v2.20.194.7, however, it was soon removed in the next version v2.20.194.9. But now, they are back again for all the users instead of certain users on the beta builds. The company announced the official rollout on Twitter.
The new animated stickers feature on WhatsApp is available on all the platforms including desktop (Windows & macOS). Users need to update the app to v2.20194.16 on Android and v2.20.70 on iOS.
To use them, tap on emoji icon to access sticker pane and then select plus (+) icon to open sticker store. On that screen, animated sticker packs will be denoted by a play icon. Download the desired pack and start using them in your conversations.
Since the sticker store cannot be accessed on desktops, users need to download the animated sticker pack on their phone to use them on their computers.
Having said that, third-party support is yet to arrive as per by Gadgets360. Also, they don’t loop like on Telegram or Facebook Messenger. One needs to either scroll up or down to trigger the animation.
According to a new report, MediaTek has postponed the plan to launch 5G chips with the mmWave bands and will only start mass production of these chips in the second half of 2021. These new processors are likely to belong to the company’s current lineup of Dimensity chip, and would probably be a high end chipset. Furthermore, we can also expect improvements in performance as well, in terms of CPU and GPU, and not just networking.
The new chips may be based on the 5nm process and feature the ARM Cortec A78/X1 architecture with Mali G78 GPU. Thus, MediaTek might offer a refresh of the Dimensity 1000+ chips or a brand new name altogether. Unfortunately, these are just speculations and the report is also through industry sources and not official as of yet. So take it with a pinch of salt and stay tuned for more updates.

In June, Honor announced that it will be launching a gaming notebook. A Chinese leakster with a good track record on Huawei / Honor leaks had claimed that the device may launch as early as this month. The tipster has released a fresh tweet that claims that the Honor gaming notebook will be launching in August.
Yesterday, AMD and Honor released teasers on Weibo which suggested that the upcoming Honor gaming notebook will be equipped with AMD’s latest processor. Now that the August launch for the notebook is tipped, it is likely that Honor will roll out some teasers on it before announcing it.
The company may launch multiple AMD powered laptops in August. The Honor MagicBook Pro 2020 variants that debuted in June came with 10th generation Intel processors. At its launch, the company revealed that it plans to launch the AMD version of the Honor MagicBook Pro 2020. Hence, the Chinese firm may launch it along with a gaming laptop in the coming month.
Honor President George Zhao had previously said that the company has been planning for a long time to launch a gaming laptop. Finally, the arrival of the notebook seems to be drawing near. It is being said that Huawei too will be launching its gaming notebook after Honor announces its AMD powered laptops.
The Honor MagicBook Pro 2020 comes in 10th gen Intel Core i7 and Core i5 processor editions. The notebook that is equipped with a 16-inch display, has up to 16 GB of DDR4 RAM and PCIe SSD of up to 512 GB storage. Its upcoming AMD edition could be powered by the new Ryzen 4000 series processors.
At the end of the previous month, Realme announced the Realme C11 mid-range phone in markets like Malaysia and Indonesia. The handset was recently found listed at India’s Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) which suggested that it could be soon arriving in India. Today, the Chinese firm made an official announcement that the Realme C11 will be debuting in India on July 14.
As can be seen in the above tweet, Realme is highlighting features like bigger battery and large-size display of the Realme C11. The handset is set to break cover at 1 PM IST on July 14. The specifications of the phone are known since it has already debuted in other markets.
The Realme C11 is fitted with an IPS LCD display of 6.5 inches. The waterdrop notch display offers an HD+ resolution of 720 x 1600 pixels. The 20:9 aspect ratio display promises a screen-to-body ratio of 88.7 percent.
The Realme C11 boots to Realme UI 1.0 based Android 10 OS. The MediaTek Helio G35 chipset that clocks at 2.3GHz powers the device with 2 GB of RAM. It comes with an internal storage of 32 GB. A dedicated microSD card slot is available on the smartphone for expanding its storage.
It has an LED flash assisted dual camera setup on its rear. It comprises of a 13-megapixel main lens and a 2-megapixel depth sensor. The handset has a front camera of 5-megapixel. There is a 5,000mAh battery packed inside the Realme C11. The device only supports 10W charging.
Realme C11 pricing

Earlier this year, during Consumer Electronics Show (CES), Samsung showcased its four new MicroLED TVs aimed at household usage, which comes in 75-inch, 88-inch, 93-inch, and 110-inch screen sizes. The company had also showcased two commercial sizes — 150-inch and 292-inch.
However, it seems that the MicroLED TVs from Samsung may not be available for purchase this year. As per the reports, Samsung had planned to complete the production process of necessary components in the first half of this year and then commercially launch the TVs in the second half of the year. But it is now being reported that the company has not yet started production of components.
The company seems to be facing issues with the transfer process as well as pricing. Micrometer-sized LED modules need to be transferred from their temporary substrate to the flexible circuit board.
While Samsung claims that its MicroLED uses micrometer-sized LED, it is not smaller than 100 micrometers which are required for the designation. Instead, they are between 100 micrometers and 200 micrometers in size, which is technically a MiniLED. But they also require a similar transfer process.
Also, the yield rate for Samsung‘s MicroLED is quite low, which is impacting the pricing for the product. The current costing for the company is quite high — ranging between ten thousand dollars to up to a hundred thousand dollars, claims the report.
Even though the MicroLED TVs from Samsung are more advanced in terms of technology compared to the company’s QLED premium TVs, the pricing still remains an important factor to make the Samsung MicroLED TVs commercially viable.
MicroLED sets are similar to OLEDs in terms of self-emissive properties. However, instead of using organic light-emitting diodes, they use tiny, non-organic LEDs – three per pixel. That means that each pixel can be turned on or off individually, or can display a completely different color to the one next to it — offering almost perfect contrast and color control.

After getting banned by the United States government last year, Huawei took a major step towards reducing its reliance on other companies and launched its own operating system, dubbed as HarmonyOS.
Now, as per the report from Science and Technology Innovation Express News, the Chinese giant is all set to launch a second-generation version of the operating system in September this year — HarmonyOS 2.0.
When launched, the HarmonyOS (aka HongMeng OS) was aimed at several different types of devices but we haven’t seen many devices powered by the same. But the upcoming version aims to take it a step forward and will be running on computers, smartwatches, and even cars — in line with the roadmap previously shared by the company.
A couple of months ago, it was reported that Huawei is all set to enter the PC market with products powered by the company’s own HiSilicon Kunpeng processors. It was also reported that PCs from Huawei will be running the HarmonyOS 2.0.
Recently, Huawei filed a number of trademark applications for the names like HarmonyOS, HarmonyOS Connected, HarmonyOS Linked, and more. This further indicates that the company is expanding its capability and device compatibility.
The Chinese giant has promoted its HarmonyOS as “a single OS that covers everything, and works with all product types.” It is engineered to communicate openly regardless of the device, and by using a microkernel system, Huawei says HarmonyOS is secure. It is also intelligently adaptive and will display correctly on various screen sizes, just like adaptive mobile websites.
Although the report claims that HarmonyOS 2.0 could get announced in September this year, there is no timeline about the products powered by this operating system to be available in the market.
HarmonyOS was expected to replace the Android operating system on Huawei and Honor-branded smartphones. It’s been almost a year since Huawei launched its own operating system and we are yet to see a smartphone powered by this OS. Given the development so far, we don’t expect HarmonyOS-powered phones anytime soon.
OnePlus has been working on its first true wireless earphones — OnePlus Buds for the past few months. An earlier report had claimed that they could get launched with the OnePlus 8 flagship series but that turned out to be just a rumor.
However, new reports indicate that the company is all set to launch its first true wireless earphones on 21st July, alongside the OnePlus Nord smartphone.
Now, ahead of the launch, the device has been certified by Finish SGS Fimko agency. The certification reveals the model number of the OnePlus Buds – E501A and the charging speed of the charging case – 5V/1.5A or 7.5W.
The leaked sketch of the upcoming OnePlus Buds earphones reveals that they look quite similar to the Apple AirPods. They come in a semi-circular case with an LED in front that should come on when charging.
We expect the OnePlus Buds TWS earphones to come with support for touch controls, Google Assistant, and fast-pairing with OnePlus devices. However, nothing much is known about the earphones at this point in time.
OnePlus already has launched a few audio accessories, all under its “Bullets” branding. So far, the company has wired OnePlus Bullets earphones with 3.5mm connector and a USB-C connector, an OnePlus Bullets Wireless and the latest OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z.
Xiaomi‘s ecological chain company Lumi known for its Aqara smart home product line has launched the Aqara Smart Clothes Dryer Lite. The product was launched on Xiaomi’s Youpin platform and is presently available to pre-order with a downpayment of 899 yuan (~$127).
The Aqara Smart Clothes Dryer Lite can automatically lower, allowing users to hang clothes elegantly. It will automatically elevate when gently lifted. The entire mechanical setup is driven by a DC motor with better performance, strong torque, strong power, high efficiency, stable operation, very stable lifting, and long service life.
The smart clothes dryer’s elevator cable uses excellent stainless steel materials which are strong and durable. It can take a maximum load of up to 30kg. Thus, it can be used to dry large bedding. It also features a powerful 18W lamp with an illuminating range of 15 square metres.
The gadget comes with two clothes drying poles and two drying quilt poles which can be adjusted freely according to the number of clothes that need to be dried and the size of the balcony. The quilt pole can also be folded and stored to save space.
The product is a smart one in the sense that it can be paired with a smartphone via Xiaomi’s MIJIA app. The Aqara Smart Clothes Dryer Lite also has a “follow-up mode” which can be set in the Mijia app to adjust the height of the rack closer to the lighting at different times of the day.
At the start of June 2020, Vivo went official with the X50, X50 Pro and X50 Pro+ in China. Since then, the X50 and X50 Pro have gone on sale but the X50 Pro+ has only been available to pre-order. However, the flagship model is now set to go on its first sale.

The Xiaomi Mi TV Stick has been in the news a lot lately but the streaming stick is yet to get an official launch. A few weeks ago, we reported that the device is available for pre-order on AliExpress. Now, a listing has been spotted on the Xiaomi Portugal online store.
The listing shows the Mi TV Stick will retail for €39.99 in the Old Continent. The price tag is for the 1080p version which has 1GB RAM and 8GB of storage. Unfortunately, you still cannot order it but you can signup to be notified once it is available.

The European market finally has good affordable 5G options in the smartphone market. You can actually find four last-generation 5G phones with price tags inferior to €400 in the European market. In this article, we will compare three of them: Moto G 5G Plus, Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite 5G, and Realme X50 5G. We excluded the Huawei P40 Lite 5G because we expect it to be less popular as it lacks Google services out of the box. Note that the Realme X50 5G sold in the European market is actually the device known in China as the Realme X50m 5G, while the Chinese Realme X50 5G has different specifications.

Design
The front panel of the Moto G 5G Plus looks very attractive because instead of sporting a pill-shaped punch-hole for the dual selfie camera (like the Realme X50 5G) it sports separate holes. And it is even splash resistant. But the Moto G 5G Plus has a plastic design, that is why I personally prefer the Realme X50 5G and its glass back. I do not like the big camera module of the Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite 5G and it comes with a classic waterdrop notch instead of a punch hole. But it is thinner and lighter than its two rivals, so do not underestimate it.
Display
High refresh rate or AMOLED: this is the question. Realme X50 5G gives you an amazing 120 Hz refresh rate, something you can not even find on a lot of flagships. On the other hand, the Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite 5G sports an AMOLED display with the HDR10+ certification for an amazing image quality even on streaming platforms. So, do you prefer having a smoother viewing experience or a higher image quality with brilliant colors and deeper blacks? The choice is up to you. The Moto G 5G Plus has an IPS display and a 90 Hz refresh rate, so you should discard it.
Hardware/Software
Motorola Moto G 5G Plus, Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite 5G, and Realme X50 5G are powered by the Snapdragon 765 (Moto G) and 765G (X50 and Mi 10 Lite) mobile platforms. It is an amazing upper-midrange chipset with an integrated 5G modem supporting fifth generation networks in all their frequencies. Motorola Moto G 5G Plus offers max 6 GB of RAM but it has a micro SD slot. Realme X50 5G and Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite 5G lack the expandable storage, but they feature a higher amount of RAM in their higher-end versions: up to 8 GB. Android 10 is naturally out of the box, but on the Moto G 5G Plus you do not get a highly-customized user interface: instead, it has a nearly-stock Android version.
Camera
On the paper, Motorola Moto G 5G Plus is equipped with the most advanced cameras. On the rear side, it has a main sensor with a brighter focal aperture, as well as a better macro camera. Further, it is the only one with an ultrawide dual front camera (the resolutions are 16 and 8 MP respectively for the main front snapper and the ultrawide lens). Right after, we got the Realme X50 Pro 5G which still comes with a dual front camera, but it has a depth sensor instead of the ultrawide lens found on the Moto G 5G Plus.
Battery
The battery of the Motorola Moto G 5G Plus is a lot bigger than the ones found on the Realme X50 5G and the Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite 5G. So it will surely last more on a single charge. With the Realme X50 5G, you get a faster charging technology with a 30W power.
Price
All these handsets are priced just €350 in the global market, but you can actually find the Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite at very interesting street prices: its price dropped below €300. But if we exclude the display, the winner of this comparison is the Moto G 5G Plus due to its much bigger battery and better cameras. Just note it has a slightly weaker chipset.
