Google Pixel fans are endlessly waiting for the arrival of the Pixel 4a midrange. While some rumors have claimed that the Snapdragon 730 powered smartphone will debut this month, while contradictory reports have claimed that its arrival could be postponed until October. Previous reports have claimed that Google could be launching the Pixel 5 and Pixel 5 XL phones in October. However, a fresh report on 9to5Google claims that the search engine will not be launching two phones such as Pixel 4a (5G) and Pixel 5 soon, and it will not be launching the Pixel 5 XL handset.
Dylan Roussel from 9to5Google scoured through the code of the latest beta edition of the Google Search app and came across the codenames of the entire Google Pixel lineup for this year. As shown in the below image, Bramble is the codename of Pixel 5 whereas the Pixel 4a (5G) is codenamed as Redfin. Initial reports had claimed that these handsets could be debuting as Pixel 5 and Pixel 5 XL.
As previous reports have revealed, the Sunfish codename belongs to the upcoming Pixel 4a handset. The Pixel 4a XL and Pixel 5 XL are not on the list. This suggests that the search engine giant has not planned to launch these phones this year.
The Bramble phone i.e. the Pixel 5 is rumored to be equipped with Snapdragon 765 chipset and is not a flagship phone. The Pixel 4a (5G) could be powered by a less powerful 5G chipset. Qualcomm has recently launched the Snapdragon 690 5G that brings 5G capabilities on affordable devices. It remains to be whether Google uses SD690 on the Pixel 4a (5G). Even if the Pixel 4a (5G) arrives with SD765G, the company may offer it with cheaper build materials like plastic whereas the Pixel 5 may arrive with aluminum and glass chassis. Since the hardware information for Pixel 4a (5G) and Pixel 5 are just assumptions, it is advisable to wait for further reports to know more about their specs.
Less than a month after we reported that Xiaomi has started pushing the Android 10-based MIUI 11 update to the Redmi Note 7 users in China, the company has announced same for users in India. The company announced via a thread on the Mi Community forum that the MIUI 11 beta stable update based on Android 10 has been pushed to selected users in India.
The update which was delivered via OTA ushers in the MIUI 11 IN Beta Stable V11.0.2.0 QFGINXM version. Since it is a stable build, releasing it as a beta means the company is testing the build if there are still bugs. The push is likely to users who were selected for the Redmi Note 7 beta program and they will be required to share their feedback. If there are no issues with the build, a full rollout is expected in India within a week or even less. However, the rollout will be halted should bug or any other complaint emerges from users who received the update.
The changelog has not been released and a link to download the update isn’t available. Those who got the update are not allowed to share a download link or even the changelog. However, the post did indicate that the build ushers in Android 10 and it should bring all the Android 10 features that are already in the open such as system-wide dark mode and improved always-on display functionality. It also brings along new animations, themes, wallpapers and improved notification system among others. We also expect the update to deliver the latest Android security patch.
This is the year of mid-rangers, and specifically 5G mid-rangers. After a lot of 5G handsets, even Vivo’s brand iQOO launched a very affordable 5G phone in the Chinese market: the iQOO Z1x 5G. It is definitely one of the cheapest phones with the support of fifth-generation networks in the whole market, but is its value for money high enough to be preferred to other recent 5G mid-rangers? In order to let you find out, we decided to compare its specifications with the Vivo X50 and the Oppo Reno4: the base variants of the latest 5G series released by Vivo and Oppo.

Design
All of these handset offer a modern design, but the most wonderful is the Vivo X50 which comes with a glass back, an aluminum frame like flagships and even a very high screen-to-body ratio, the highest of this comparison. You get a display with a single punch-hole inside and even an in-display fingerprint reader so that the glass back is totally clean with the exception of the camera elements. Oppo Reno4 comes right after, it has a very clean and futuristic design too. But it has a dual punch-hole and a lower screen-to-body ratio than Vivo X50. It is even thinner and lighter, one of the thinnest 5G phones released, that is why Vivo X50 is my favorite choice.
Display
With the Vivo X50, you even get the best display. It is an AMOLED panel with a 90 Hz refresh rate and the HDR10+ certification, so it provides both a smooth viewing experience and a great image quality. iQOO Z1x 5G has HDR10 and an even higher refresh rate (120 Hz!), but unfortunately, it sports a disappointing TFT panel which is not even close to the Vivo X50 in terms of image quality. Oppo Reno4 has an AMOLED display, but with a standard refresh rate.
Hardware/Software
iQOO Z1x 5G, Oppo Reno4 and Vivo X50 are based on the Snapdragon 765G mobile platform, they sport up to 8 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS 2.1 internal storage. Exactly the same hardware department, so you would get more or less the same performance and the same 5G connectivity with SA/NSA standards and an integrated Snapdragon X52 modem. The software is what changes: iQOO UI, ColorOS, and Funtouch OS, respectively, all based on Android 10.
Camera
Vivo X50 is again the winner, even when it comes to the camera quality. Vivo X50 is the only one with OIS, it has an additional telephoto lens which is not present on its rivals, and it provides a way better photo quality. Oppo Reno4 only wins the selfie comparison thanks to a dual 32 + 2 MP front camera including a depth sensor. iQOO Z1x is the most disappointing one as a camera phone, simply do not choose it if you need great photos and videos.
Battery
Finally an aspect under which iQOO Z1x takes the crown: it has the longest battery life thanks to its bigger 5000 mAh battery. On the other hand, with the Oppo Reno4, you get the fastest charging technology with a 65W power. It can fully charge in just 36 minutes from 0 to 100 percent.
Price
iQOO Z1x is priced just €200/$226 in its base variant, Oppo Reno4 costs €370/$418, and Vivo X50 carries a €451/$510 price tag. There is no doubt about the fact that Vivo X50 is the most advanced phone of this comparison. But you can get the same performance and a longer battery life for less money with the iQOO Z1x. So if you do not care about cameras, design and image quality, iQOO Z1x is enough for you. Oppo Reno4 sits in the middle, it will let you save some money, but you have to face compromises when it comes to the camera department and the display, compared to the Vivo X50.

Compatible with multiple air taps, the device stops when fully inflated.
Xiaomi will be releasing the Mi Smart Band 5 for the global market on July 15 as a successor to the Mi Band 4. The Mi Band 5 definitely has a tall three to climb going by the performance of the Band 4. Xiaomi has taken to Twitter to brag about the Mi Band 4’s sales feat.
According to Canalys wearable band shipment estimates that is referenced by the tweet, the Mi Band 4 is the best-selling wearable band worldwide in the period ranging from Q3 2019 to Q1 2020.
Xiaomi’s smart band have often enjoyed huge market successes right from the original Mi Band. The Mi Band 2 released in 2016 was also another top-selling model. The same thing applies to the Mi Band 3 and now the Band 4. The company had sold a million unit of the original Mi Band in just nine months. The Mi Band 2 achieved the same feat in just two months while the Xiaomi Mi Band 3 sold up to 1 million units in just 17. Just like old wine, it just kept getting better as the brand ages. The Mi Band 4 recorded up to 1 million units in sales in just 8 days!
WOW! #MiSmartBand4 is the best-selling wearable band in the world! 🎉
There is hardly any doubt that the Mi Band 5 will also be a top-selling model considering the improvements in its design and added features. It is noteworthy that the company recently rolled out the drums to celebrate shipping over 100 million smart wearable devices between 2014 and 2019.

Xiaomi is known for popularising bezel-less smartphones with its Mi Mix series of smartphones. Last year, the brand unveiled a one of a kind handset called Mi Mix Alpha with an all-around screen. This device is yet to go on sale, however, the company has already patented design for a similar phone at the China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA).
The said patent was filed by Xiaomi on January 19, 2020, but the documentation, as well as images, were only published today (July 10, 2020). They were unearthed by none other than the patent experts at LetsGoDigital.
According to the patent, this smartphone will have an all-around display but the top portion of the rear will have a single giant 108MP camera with a zoom lens. The company even calls it “AI Super Camera”.
There are two designs for the same device, one in black color and another with transparent panel showcasing the internals, which could be mere placeholder plastic material like on the Mi 8/Mi 9 Explorer Edition.
There’s only one physical key (power button) and a secondary mic at the top, whereas the bottom houses the speaker, primary mic, and USB Type-C port.
The patent also reveals it to be a 5G phone but there’s no mention of the chipset used. But the transparent edition does describe “5G MODEM IVY 650”, which is not a real thing. Other texts inside the phone include “AI SUPER CAMERA”, “108MP MEGA SENSOR ZOOM LENS F/2.0 – 5.0”, “AI GPU”, “MEMORY”, “MIUI”, “DESIGNED BY XIAOMI”, and “ALWAYS BELIEVE SOMETHING WONDERFUL IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN”.
Anyway, it is not known if this handset will ever see the light of the day. Even if it does, we don’t expect Xiaomi to sell it.
Xiaomi‘s ecological chain company Segway Ninebot has launched the Ninebot ES1L folding electric scooter. The launch comes just a few days after the NineBot C30 e-bike was launched. The e-scooter comes with a price tag of 1599 yuan ($228).
The Ninebot ES1L e-scooter is a trimmed down variant of the NineBot ES1 that was launched last year. The ES1L comes with a maximum speed of 20Km/h and has a range of 20km which is lower than the 25km mileage of Ninebot ES1.

OnePlus has already confirmed the much-anticipated Nord smartphone will be launched kicks off on July 21 via an AR event. Already the app for the AR event is live on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. The company has now released a press statement indicating that the AR launch invitation will be sold to fans in India from June 11.
The OnePlus Nord AR launch will be the world’s first AR smartphone launch and it will commence at 7:30pm IST. The access will cost Rs. 99 (~$1) and will give fans the privilege of experiencing the Nord hands-on in Augmented Reality (AR) even before the official launch. Users who purchase the AR launch invitations will also get a chance to participate in the Launch Day Lottery on Amazon and win an assured gift!
A prototype of the OnePlus Nord
OnePlus also announced via the press release that the Nord smartphone pre-orders will commence on Amazon.in from 15 July 2020 onwards for Rs 499 (~$6). The Amazon.in page is now live and you can click “Notify me” to get notified when the pre-order commences.
Samsung’s next TWS is said to come with bean-shaped, however, its name remained a mystery until now. It will be called Galaxy Buds Live according to renowned leaker Evan Blass (@evleaks) who also shared a couple of high-quality press renders on his Patreon revealing entire design and available colors.
The upcoming Samsung TWS will be different from any other model launched by the company before. For starters, it will come in a weird shape with no silicon tips unlike the Galaxy Buds and Galaxy Bud Plus. But it is expected to offer better features compared to the other two as per previous leaks.
The buds themselves are shaped like kidney beans (hence the nickname) with two microphones on either of them. Maybe because it is reported to arrive with Active Noise Cancellation (ANC).
As for the case, it is square in shape with curved corners all around. It also has two LED indicators, one on the inside and another on the outside. Although the render does not showcase the USB Type-C port, we expect it to feature it, in addition to wireless charging.
Last but not least, it will come in three colors – Black, White, and Gold. There may be some special edition later like the Galaxy Buds Plus BTS Edition.
OnePlus is all set to launch its first mid-range smartphone in years called OnePlus Nord after debuting it’s budget smart TVs last week. Now, it seems the brand may also announce its first-ever TWS at the same AR launch event scheduled for July 21.
The existence of OnePlus truly wireless earphones was first revealed by tipster @MaxJmb on Twitter. In fact, he has been exposing more details about this product since then.
Having said that, it has been now also spotted on Amazon India’s notify list (via @stufflistings). A few hours before that, OnePlus itself teased the arrival of its first TWS in a tweet saying “What’s next in line?” with an image of its Bullet earphones lineup.
Anyway, although OnePlus’ fist truly wireless earphones have leaked multiple times over the past few weeks, we are still unaware of its specifications. But we do expect its official press renders to soon pop-up on the web just like those of OnePlus Nord.
The DJI Mavic 2 series (Mavic 2 Pro and Zoom) of unmanned drones have received a major update 9 months after their original release. The new firmware update version v01.00.0670 has been released and increases the transmission range of the drones to 10km.
The new update brings a bunch of fixes and quality of life improvements as well. This includes:
Increased operating time of remote controller when using in low-temperature environments.
Updated auto discharge default settings to two days.
Fixed occasional issue: gimbal was unbalanced after self check. Use gimbal auto calibration in DJI GO 4 to fix this issue.
Fixed issue: obstacle avoidance switch was unavailable when using MSDK.
Increased the maximum transmission distance: 10 km (FCC), 6 km (CE/MIC/SRRC).
The most noteworthy inclusion is most definitely its increased range of 10kms. This increases its maximum range of the drones, which now go farther than any commercial DJI drones that are currently available in the market. The range extension differs for different regions with the US (FCC) getting a range increased from 8km to 10 km, while the Chinese variant has its range go up from 5km to 6km. So for those looking to update their drone, you can check out the videos linked above.
A new leak has revealed the specifications of a pair of upcoming budget Huawei tablets. The leak is for the MatePad T10 and MatePad T10s, both of which feature the HiSilicon Kirin 710A SoC.
The leak was shared by Roland Quandt (@rquandt) on Twitter. Huawei MediaPad T10 is the smaller of the two, with a 9.7 inch display with a 1280 x 800px resolution and a pixel density of 156ppi. The octa core Kirin 710A runs the tablet which arrives with Android 10 out of the box, with EMUI 10.1 custom skin and AppGallery. The tablet apparently features two memory variants, namely 2GB RAM + 16GB storage and 2GB RAM + 32GB storage with support for a microSD card expansion of up to 512GB.
The MediaPad T10 is powered by a 5,100mAh battery pack and supports the usual sensors, connectivity, and other ports. For optics, the rear has a 5 megapixel primary lens and a 2 megapixel selfie shooter. The Huawei MatePad T10s, on the other hand, features a larger 10.1 inch display with a resolution of 1920 x 1200px and a pixel density of 220ppi.
In terms of camera, battery, OS, and connectivity, the tablet has the same features as the MatePad T10. Apart from the display, the primary difference is also the storage variants, with a 2GB RAM + 32GB storage and 3GB RAM + 64GB storage variant. Unfortunately, the pricing and launch details of these tablets are currently unknown and we will have to wait for an official announcement, so take this report with a pinch of salt for now.
Huawei is expected to announce the Mate 40 series in September or October. The series will include a standard model called the Mate 40 and an advanced model named Huawei Mate 40 Pro. The latter is most likely to sport a waterfall curved edge display. The standard models in the Mate series that have launched in the past have always featured flat displays. A fresh leak reveals that the Huawei Mate 40 will be also flaunting a curved edge display.
A Chinese tipster has shared an image of the screen protector designed for the Huawei Mate 40. The image shows that it is curved towards the left and right edges. According to another tipster, the display of the Mate 40 will not as curvy as the waterfall display. Its curved screen will be like the Honor 30 Pro that came with a dual punch-hole 6.57-inch OLED panel.
The exact size of the Mate 40’s display is not known. However, it is likely to sport an OLED panel with an under-display fingerprint sensor. Rumors have it that it may carry support for the 90Hz refresh rate. The upcoming Mate 40 and Mate 40 pro could be fueled by 5nm Kirin 1000 (or Kirin 1020) chipset.
The Huawei Mate 40 series is said to be equipped with a 108-megapixel main camera that could be apart of the 9P FreeForm camera module. The 3D face recognition feature could be exclusively available on the Mate 40 Pro. The upgraded biometric recognition feature may allow users to authenticate payments.
Earlier today (10th July 2020), a Weibo user (@长安数码君) found a new trademark application from Huawei. The trademark was for a new logo design for its Kirin chips, with the new logo having a Dragon.
For those unaware, Huawei’s HiSilicon designs its proprietary Kirin mobile chipsets. The blogger on the popular Chinese microblogging website found the trademark which had been applied for in June 2020. Looking at the images shared on the Weibo post, a smiling Dragon can be seen in the logo. The dragon resembles the ones depicted in traditional Chinese lores, with the inclusion of legs and wings.
This new design comes as a breath of fresh air since the original logo is just a plain red ribbon. Notably, the new dragon design carries the current ribbon logo on its chest to signify its roots. Unfortunately, we may never see this new logo design being unveiled or even announced. Trademark applications don’t always see the light of day, so we will have to wait for an official announcement.
At the end of June, the Indian government banned 59 Chinese apps including Mi Community citing privacy concerns. Now, after about two weeks, Xiaomi India has temporarily disabled the app as well as the website with a notice.
Both the app and website of Mi Community India have been blocked by most ISPs in the country after the announcement of the ban by the government. But only now, the company has disabled them officially (via PiunikaWeb) as TikTok did the very next day.
If you visit the URL of Mi Community India, you will be treated with an official notice by the company mentioning the ban (pictured above).
It reads “We will be meeting with government stakeholders for an opportunity to respond and submit our clarifications. Mi Community adheres to the most stringent data privacy and security requirements under Indian law. The privacy and security of Mi Fans is of utmost importance to us”.
The statement given by Xiaomi India sounds similar to the one stated by TikTok India. That said, fellow Xiaomi product users can seek help if they need from the global Mi Community or XDA forums since those websites can be accessed in India.
Facebook is apparently planning on bringing two of its chatting services closer together. The social media giant is reportedly bringing a cross-chat feature for its Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp.
For those unaware, Facebook currently owns popular social media platforms like Instagram and WhatsApp. Since the acquisitions, the company has strived to make moving content between the different platforms more seamless and now, maybe even direct. According to a new report, Facebook Messenger users will soon be able to send messages directly to others on WhatsApp.
WABetaInfo reported that a developer named Alessandro Paluzzi revealed that Facebook is bringing in integration support for both messaging platforms. The developer claimed to have found a few interesting references in Facebook’s codes, which suggested that the company is creating tables in a local database that will enable them to manage messages and services with other WhatsApp users.
In simpler terms, Facebook might be able to get access to different data within the WhatsApp database. The code is suggested of being able to recognize sounds of push notifications and even some details of a chat. It can find out if a WhatsApp contact is blocked, find a phone number, find whether or not a chat is archived, and may also be able to view specific WhatsApp groups and profile pictures as well.
This is indicating that Facebook is collecting the code for a local database, which is a work in progress. WABetaInfo believes that the company might also use the same WhatsApp encryption and decryption protocol and may launch this feature in the near future. Although, this is still unconfirmed, so take it with a pinch of salt and stay tuned for more updates regarding the matter.
Lenovo Legion gaming phone will be debuting on July 22. Earlier this week, the handset appeared on AnTuTu benchmarks with a remarkable score of 648,871. The handset was found to be equipped with 16 GB of RAM. A Geekbench listing of the same 16 GB RAM variant has appeared to reveal its performance scores.

South Korea had been one of the first countries to adopt 5G networking. Telecom operators had launched their 5G services back in April 2019, and as of May end this year, the country had about 6.9 million subscribers for the newer and faster bandwidth.
According to official reports from the country, the number of customers in the country rose by 536,997 in May alone. This number even broke the previous monthly record of 520,478 new subscribers from March. At the moment, the total number of 5G users represent about 10 percent of the total of 69.43 million mobile services lines in the country.
Notably, South Korea was also the first to commercially launch 5G networking back in 2019 through three telecom operators, namely SK Telecom Co., KT Corp., and LG Uplus Corp. These carries had aggressively marketed the new service in the region, with the Korean government stating that over 115,000 5G base stations have been deployed across the country.
Furthermore, the local government had also agreed on investing KRW 4 trillion (roughly $3.4 billion) in the three major telecom operators’ 5G networks during the first half of this year. This was done to expand the coverage of 5G networking with additional equipment and supporting infrastructure. The next step for the country is to adopt the ultrafast mmWave 5G network, which should reach businesses by the end of this year and personal devices by 2022.
