At the beginning of this month, 91mobiles had reported that Vivo will be launching Vivo Y30v and Vivo Y50 mid-range phones in India this month. A microsite for the Vivo Y50 is available on Flipkart. It states that the sales of the smartphone will be carried out on June 10.
The microsite reveals that the Vivo Y50 has a Full HD+ resolution supporting a 6.53-inch iView display that has a punch-hole positioned at its upper left corner. It has 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage.

It appears that the smartphone will be available in white and black color options in India. There is no word on the pricing of the phone. Also, Vivo is yet to tease the arrival of Vivo Y30 phone in India.
While the Vivo Y50 went official in China in April for 1,698 Yuan (~$239; ~Rs. 18,000), the Y30 was introduced in Malaysia last month for RM 899 (~$210; ~Rs. 15,900).
The entire specs of the Vivo Y50 are known through its launch in China. It has a 13-megapixel + 8-megapixel (ultrawide) + 2-megapixel (macro) + 2-megapixel (depth) quad-camera setup and a frontal shooter of 16-megapixel. It carries support for 15W charging through USB-C.

At CES 2020, LG unveiled a number of products, including the 38-inch UltraWide Curved UltraWide QHD+ monitor and 32-inch Ergo monitor. The company has now launched a 27-inch version of the Ergo monitor. The product is already available on the LG US official website and it costs $450. The product will hit other retail stores from June 1.
LG Ergo monitor features a 27-inch IPS QHD display screen with QHD resolution of 2560×1440 pixels. Just like the 32-inch version, the monitor features a space-saving stand with a C-Clamp attachment that clasps to your desk. The stand can extend outward or be positioned close to the wall, moved up to eye-level or lowered to the desk. It can even swivel to face the opposite direction for convenient sharing of information with an office colleague. It can also be positioned at the perfect height, distance and angle for far more comfortable and more sustainable user experience.

Reliable tipster Evan Blas revealed in April that Motorola will be soon launching One Fusion and One Fusion+ smartphones. A report from the previous month not only revealed the key specs of the One Fusion+ phone, but also claimed that it will be debuting in June. A fresh report on Tabletowo.pl Polish site has revealed the specifications of the One Fusion+ and One Fusion phones along with the pricing.
Motorola One Fusion+ specifications and price
The One Fusion+ has a 6.53-inch IPS LCD screen with notch-less design like the Motorola One Hyper phone that debuted in December 2019. The screen supports a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2340 pixels and an aspect ratio of 19.5:9. It has a pop-up selfie camera.
The Snapdragon 730 is present under the hood of the One Fusion+. It is expected to arrive in 4 GB and 6 GB RAM options and storage choices like 64 GB and 128 GB. The quadruple-camera setup on its back will have a 64-megapixel Samsung GW1 lens as the primary sensor.

There is no word on whether the Motorola One Fusion will be available for purchase in Poland. The report carries no word on its pricing.
HMD Global has announced just one 5G smartphone and that is the Nokia 8.3 5G. The Snapdragon 765G-powered phone is yet to go on sale but when it does, it will cost as much as €599 which is pretty expensive for a mid-range device. If you don’t mind waiting, you will be able to get a cheaper 5G Nokia phone in the future.
An exclusive report by Nokia Power User has revealed that HMD Global is developing an affordable Nokia 5G phone that will be powered by one of MediaTek’s Dimensity 800 series processors. The particular chipset was not mentioned, so it may be the Dimensity 800 or the Dimensity 820.
HMD Global working on a Dimensity 800 series-powered phone
The specific device was also not mentioned but it most likely will not be the Nokia 7.3 as the Nokia-focused blog said a source informed them it may come with a Snapdragon processor. The Nokia 7.3 is also revealed to have both a 5G and a 4G prototype at the moment.
The possible time frame for the release of this Dimensity 800 series affordable 5G Nokia phone is stated to be in early 2021 according to the source. This is more than six months away and a pretty long time at that.
If HMD Global is serious about catching up to its competitors, it will have to launch this affordable 5G phone device this year; even before the fourth quarter.
The Japanese arm of TÜV Rheinland has certified a dual-battery system for Realme. The battery setup is expected to be for an upcoming Realme phone.
There are speculations that the battery system, which has a typical capacity of 2250mAh (each) is for the Realme X3 Pro. This makes sense since the Realme X2 Pro also uses a dual battery system (2x 2000mAh).
We expect the upcoming device will have support for Realme’s 65W SuperDart fast charging technology when it launches.
There are rumors the Realme X3 Pro will launch alongside the Realme X3 Superzoom in India soon. The Snapdragon 865 processor should be the chipset under the hood along with UFS 3.1 storage. The rest of the specs of the phone are currently unknown but should surface in the weeks leading up to its release.
Protests and riots broke out across the US in the past weeks as a result of George Floyd’s killing at the hand of police. Criminals have taken advantage of the situation and arr on a looting spree. Recently, it was reported than an Apple store was looted and iPhones were stolen. A DJI store located in Manhattan, New York was also looted the previous week. The looters are said to have stolen six drones worth $16,000. While Apple will deploy the iPhone’s security feature to track down the stolen units, DJI drones are yet to be recovered.
A video which shows some protesters robbing the DJI store on Broadway in Manhattan was shared by Crime Stoppers NY. The incident took place at around 11:25 p.m. The video shows five people forcing their way through the front door of the DJI store, eventually breaking the glass and entering the store. They then proceeded to grab the merchandise.
From the video, it appears as though the drones that were stolen include an Inspire 1, Inspire 2 and the remote, as well as a Phantom 4 drone. It also appears as though a pair of DJI Racing edition FPV goggles and a Ronin-S or Ronin-SC camera gimbal were taken. The group that perpetuated the crime are still reportedly at large as at the time of this writing.
Xiaomi’s Redmi smartphone has gained tremendous success in India. So also the brand’s wearable devices such as earbuds and wrist bands. The Chinese company is now set to enter the notebook PC market and will take the wraps off its first Mi Notebook models in India on June 11.
Some of the specs of the Mi Notebook 14 has appeared online. The notebook will come in four different models, all powered by 10th-gen Intel Core CPUs. The Mi Notebook 14 will be powered by the 10th gen Intel Core i5 processor. However, the Mi Notebook 14 Horizon Edition will have a 10th gen Intel Core i7 processor. In the aspect of the GPU, the Horizon Edition will pack an NVIDIA GeForce MX350 graphics while the regular edition will have its graphics fired up by an Intel integrated graphics or NVIDIA GeForce MX250 graphics.
As the name suggests, the laptop will feature a 14-inch display with FHD resolution. The Horizon Edition is, however, rumoured to feature an edge to edge 14-inch FHD display with a 91% screen-to-body ratio. The standard edition will have 256GB of storage but other models are said to feature 512GB SSD. All models will have 8GB of RAM onboard and it is unlikely that the memory can be expanded. Xiaomi claims that Mi Notebook 14 will deliver up to 10 hours of battery life.
As for the prices, the Mi Notebook 14 is expected to start at 50,000 INR (~$660) for the base model.
The OPPO Reno4 series launched in China last week and both phones in the series, the Reno4 5G and Reno4 Pro 5G, are 5G devices. However, it appears that OPPO will be taking the same route it did with the Reno3 series by launching 4G variants in select markets outside China.
It has been revealed that Thailand’s NBTC has certified an OPPO phone with model number CPH2113 and the marketing name “OPPO Reno4”. However, this variant doesn’t have 5G support.
The same device has also been certified by the EEC and Indonesia’s TKDN which means the Reno4 4G should launch in these markets too.
The specifications of the Reno4 4G are unknown but we expect the features and maybe even the design will differ from that of the model sold in China. The device may also not arrive anytime soon seeing as the Reno3 4G was announced just three months ago.
What specs do you expect the Reno4 4G will have? Let us know in the comment box.
The Mi CC9 series is almost due for a successor. Back in March, a list of upcoming Xiaomi phones leaked and it revealed the manufacturer plans to release two successors called the Mi CC10 and the Mi CC10 Pro. Now, a listing for the screen protector for the former has appeared online.
The glass screen protector shows that the Mi CC10 will have a hole at the top left corner of its display. The hole in the glass is quite big but the one on the device should be much smaller.
The listing also says the screen protector is curved which means the phone should have a curved display.
A render of the phone attached to the listing shows the Mi CC10 with four rear cameras arranged in a circular housing. There is an LED flash below the setup but there isn’t a fingerprint scanner. The sensor is also not on the side, so it is safe to say the Mi CC10 will have an in-display fingerprint scanner and thus, an AMOLED display just like its predecessor.
While it is not unusual for sellers to list accessories of unreleased devices for sale, we advise you to take this with a grain of salt until more info about the device surfaces.
A few days ago, a leak revealed some of the phone’s key specs such as the yet-to-be-announced Snapdragon 775G processor, a 108MP primary rear camera, and 12x optical zoom.
The Mi CC9 was announced in July 2019. If Xiaomi is sticking to the same date this year, we still have a few more weeks of waiting before the phone arrives. We expect more details will surface in the coming weeks.
Smartbands have become so popular and inexpensive. With a budget of $20, you can get a good one that offers basic features such as step counting, calorie counting, and notification alerts. However, there are other features that can be the deciding factor for anyone that wants to pick up a smartband.
These features are sleep tracking, heart rate monitoring, Blood Pressure Monitoring, and Sp02 measurement.
For this week’s poll, we want to know which of the features below is the most important to you when picking up a smartband. Do let us know in the comment box below the reason for your answer.
The Realme X3 SuperZoom launched in Europe last month. The phone stands out from its competitors with its features which include a Snapdragon 855+ chipset, 12GB of RAM, 256GB of storage, and 60x SuperZoom mode; all of the above and more for just €499.
Realme is expected to announce the phone in India soon alongside two other phones called the Realme X3 and the Realme X3 Pro. However, a tweet from Francis Wang, the CMO of Realme India, hints at the Realme X3 SuperZoom arriving with a different chipset in the country.
In a quoted response to a tweet that said the Realme X3 SuperZoom could launch in India soon, the company executive had asked “How soon?“ and “Which processor to use?”. We want to believe that this hints at Realme announcing the phone with a different chipset from the one in the version sold in Europe.
The responses under the tweet include the Snapdragon 765 and Snapdragon 765G as well as the Snapdragon 855+ in the European version. Time will tell which of the aforementioned processors will come bundled with the phone in India.
Realme is yet to announce a launch date for the Realme X3 series in India but there is a possibility it will arrive in the country this month.
What do you think about the Realme X3 SuperZoom getting a different chipset for the Indian market? Do let us know what you think in the comment box below.
Oppo had to shutter its smartphone factory in India like any other company abiding the county’s lockdown rules. But in early May, it resumed the production as the nation’s government gave permission to open the facility. Unfortunately, within a few days, positive cases of COVID-19 emerged among the workers and the company had to shut the doors once again. Now, this is causing a huge problem for its sister brands OnePlus and Realme.
Oppo is the contract manufacturer for OnePlus and Realme smartphones in India. All the devices sold by these two brands in the country are assembled in the now-closed Oppo factory. This is how these brands manage to price their devices aggressively in the region.
OnePlus 8 series, the brand’s latest smartphone duo just went on sale for a couple of times in India. It is worth noting that these sales were for OnePlus 8 and only limited units were up for grab. The more premium OnePlus 8 Pro is yet to be made available for the first time.
Given the current situation, demand for sub-₹15,000 surged high and unfortunately, Realme, which is one of the top players in this range does not have units for sale as the production has halted.
According to Arvinder Khurana, national president, All India Mobile Retailers Association, the situation is comparable to other smartphone brands as well, especially in ₹12,000-15,000 price segment.
He also said that since margin in this price range is merely 3-4% and due to lower demand in other segments, 20% of retailers may have to shut their businesses if there’s no support from the government.
OxygenOS for OnePlus smartphones comes in three flavours – Closed Beta, Open Beta, and Stable. The company has been following it for 4 years. But now it has announced some changes in their release schedule.
OnePlus is set to recruit testers for OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro OxygenOS Closed Beta builds very soon. Ahead of it, the company has announced that it has decided to reduce the number of releases for all the three flavours of OxygenOS.
Up until now, OnePlus used to release 4 Closed Beta builds and 2 Open Beta builds for all the supported devices. Whereas, stable builds are released every 1-2 months.
But from now onwards, the company will only release 2 Closed Beta builds and 1 Open Beta build per month for the eligible devices. However, it did not make any change in the stable release schedule since it is supposed to provide monthly security patches to all the users.
OnePlus’ explanation for this decision is that it will try to provide better bug-free builds in all three release channels. It believes it can achieve it by spending more time in optimizing them rather rushing to release more builds.
The main cause of this move is that more of its users are using Open Beta builds than ever before. So by reducing the frequency of beta releases, the company aims to address reported bugs and feedback to offer a better experience.
OnePlus is rumored to be working on the launch of OnePlus Z upper mid-range smartphone. Recently, the alleged handset was spotted on the Geekbench benchmarking platform. The Geekbench listing as well as other rumors have claimed that the OnePlus Z will be driven by Snapdragon 765G. A leaked specs sheet has surfaced on Twitter. Apart from revealing the key specs, the leak also states that the OnePlus Z may go official in the second week of July.
Before reading further, readers are recommended to digest the leak with a grain of salt as there is no concrete evidence to prove its authenticity. While it states that the OnePlus Z will go official in the second week of July, the unveil date may get postponed.
The OnePlus Z is expected to come with a 6.5-inch S-AMOLED display with a single punch-hole for a 16-megapixel selfie camera. The rear side of the phone will have a triple camera setup comprising of a 48-megapixel Sony lens, a 12-megapixel ultrawide sensor, and a 13-megapixel telephoto sensor. The camera setup will be assisted by a laser autofocus unit.
The Snapdragon 765G will fuel the OnePlus Z smartphone. The OxygenOS 10 based Android 10 OS will come preinstalled on the device. It will be packed with a 4,000mAh battery that will come with support for 30W wired charging through USB-C.
The OnePlus Z is expected to arrive in the market in 8 GB and 12 GB RAM options and storage choices like 128 GB and 256 GB. There is no word on the pricing of these variants. It will be available in colors like black, blue, white, and a limited-edition color.
Realme launched a couple of smart products in India recently. One of them, the Realme Smart TV went on sale for the first time recently and the company disclosed that over 15,000 units were sold in just 10 minutes. The company also launched its first smartwatch and it went on sale for the first time on Friday.
The company has taken to Tweeter to celebrate the milestone achievement of selling over 15,000 units in just two minutes. The smartwatch was sold in India via Flipkart and the company’s official website.
Realme Watch sales even performed better than the company’s first smart TV which was equally sold out. The price would no doubt have contributed to this. The watch is priced at Rs.3,999 (~$53) which is an awesome price tag. The price is similar to that of the Amazfit Bip with which it shares a similar design.

The smartwatch features continuous heart rate monitoring, call notification, sleep tracking and SpO2 monitor, which measures the blood oxygen level. The watch is IP68 certified for dust and water resistance. Keeping the lights on is a 160 mAh battery, which promises up to nine days of endurance.
Yesterday, OPPO unveiled the Reno4 series of powerful mid-range phones in China. The 5G-ready Reno4 and Reno4 Pro smartphones that are driven by Snapdragon 765G are equipped with stellar cameras. It seems India will be the next country to receive the Reno4 series as OPPO India has confirmed that it will be soon launching the Reno4 series in the country.
The Chinese firm did not reveal any exact timeline for the arrival of the Reno4 series in India. However, the company revealed that the Reno4 models will come with features that are relevant to the Indian market. It is not clear whether it will be releasing Reno4 as well as its Pro version in India.
OPPO Reno4
The Reno4 5G models such as 8 GB RAM + 128 GB storage and 8 GB RAM + 256 GB storage are priced at 2,999 Yuan (~$423) and 3,299 Yuan (~$465), respectively in China. On the other side, the Reno4 Pro 5G variants such as 8 GB RAM + 128 GB storage and 12 GB RAM + 256 GB storage are priced at 3,799 Yuan (~$536) and 4,299 Yuan (~$607), respectively.

The Pro model supports a 90Hz refresh rate and comes with a single punch-hole for its 32-megapixel selfie camera. The Reno4 has a pill-shaped camera cutout on the screen for its 32-megapixel + 2-megapixel dual selfie camera system.
OPPO Reno4 Pro
The Reno4 and Reno4 Pro phones are packed 4,000mAh batteries with 65W fast charging support. The Reno4 has a 48-megapixel + 8-megapixel (ultrawide) + 2-megapixel (depth) triple camera system. The Reno4 Pro has a 48-megapixel + 13-megapixel (telephoto) + 12-megapixel (ultrawide) triple camera setup. The ColorOS 7.2 based Android 10 OS comes preinstalled on the Reno4 and Reno4 Pro smartphones.
The Galaxy Tab S6 Lite was announced back in mid-April and is currently sold in Europe and North America. Samsung has now officially announced it will be heading to India in a few days.
The official Samsung India Twitter account posted a tweet today that revealed the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite will be announced on Monday, June 8.
The Galaxy Tab S6 Lite is a more affordable version of the flagship Galaxy Tab S6 that was announced last year. Available in LTE and Wi-Fi-only variants, the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite has a 10.4-inch FHD screen, an Exynos 9611 chipset, 4GB of RAM and up to 128GB of expandable storage.
There is an 8MP camera with no flash on the back of the tablet while a 5MP sensor sits in front for selfies and making video calls. The Tab S6 Lite has an S Pen, an audio jack, and packs a 7040mAh battery with support for 15W fast charging. It ships with Android 10 out of the box.
We have no idea which variant Samsung will be bringing to India but we expect it to have a starting price of over INR 30,000.
Yesterday, Oppo announced Reno 4 series in China alongside products like Enco W51, Oppo Band, and more. To everyone’s surprise, these handsets run ColorOS 7.2, a brand new version of the company’s mobile software. So, here in this post, let us deep dive to know what’s new.
Super Night Scene for Videos
As the name suggests, Oppo has developed an algorithm called ‘Moonlight Night Scene Video’ (translated) to record better quality videos in low-light. The brand claims it enhances the brightness and clarity of videos by 74% and 34% respectively.
Movie Mode for Videos
Xiaomi introduced Vlog mode in MIUI 11 / 12 for certain phones. Similarly, Oppo has added movie mode capable of recording videos in 21:9 aspect ratio. Users can choose from 10 movie filters, several templates, and adjust parameters such as exposure, shutter speed, and more. This feature is part of ColorOS’ Soloop video editor.
Super Power Saving Mode
This mode will help users make use of the last remaining percentage of their phone’s battery very efficiently. Oppo says users can use WeChat for 1.5 hours (90 minutes) with only 5% battery when the Super Power Saving Mode turned on.
AI App Pre-launch
The system improves the app launch speed significantly by analyzing the user’s daily usage habits and trends. This feature is also found in MIUI 12.
AI Repair
People either scan or click pictures of their old physical photographs. Usually, those are of bad quality and need some edit. AI Repair does this job for users by removing visible blurs and noises.
Oppo Camera SDK
At Google I/O 2019, the search giant announced CameraX API to let third-party apps have access to features of the device’s stock camera app. Oppo was the first smartphone maker to announce its involvement in the project.
Now, with ColorOS 7.2, the company has released an updated SDK that allows third-party apps to access ultra-wide angle camera as well as stabilization functionality.
ColorOS 7.2 Rollout
ColorOS 7.2 only comes pre-installed on Reno 4 and Reno 4 Pro for now. A few months back, Oppo announced ColorOS 7.1 with the release on Find X2 and Find X2 Pro. This particular version is also only available on the launch phones and Oppo Ace 2.
Sadly, Oppo is still rolling out ColorOS 7 (announced in November 2019) to the older devices running ColorOS 6.1. The company is yet to announce which handsets will be receiving the now released latest version.
Since most of the features in ColorOS 7.1 / 7.2 are targeted at mid-range and high-end smartphones, we don’t expect the company to roll out these versions to all the devices that are receiving ColorOS 7.

OPPO just unveiled its first smart band in China and it looks awesome. It comes with all the features you would expect from a smart band in 2020, yet it carries a very affordable price. OPPO just debuted in the smart bands market and it already offers a complete device: but is the OPPO Band really the best you can choose from a mainstream smartphone manufacturer? While waiting for the launch of the Xiaomi Mi Band 5, here is a specs comparison with its most interesting rivals: the Xiaomi Mi Band 4 and the Realme Band.

Design and display
OPPO Band comes in two versions differing from each other for their design: a Sport version which comes with a more classic look including a TPU strap, and a Fashion version with an elegant metal ring. The fashion version looks definitely gorgeous and it is my favorite one if we talk about the looks. The smart band also comes with a 2.5D curved front glass making it even more elegant. The OPPO Band is definitely the most elegant smart band of this trio, but you will find more third-party straps for the Xiaomi Mi Band 4.
Realme Band has a totally different look: it is very sportive and targeted at young people. OPPO Band is also equipped with the most advanced display. Not only it has a wider 1.1-inch panel and the AMOLED technology, but it also offers full DCI-P3 coverage. Right after, we got the OLED display of the Xiaomi Mi Band 4. OPPO Band and Xiaomi Mi Band 4 are waterproof up to 5 atm (50m), while Realme Band is waterproof up to 1.5 mm. You can use all of them while swimming.
Software and features
OPPO Band is the winner even when it comes to the features, at least on the paper. Indeed, it is the only with a SpO2 sensor that can monitor the oxygen level in the blood. It can make one measurement per second for 8 hours before going out of charge. The OPPO Band also supports more sports modes: up to 12, including swimming and a long-distance running mode to burn more calories with less fatigue.
The smart band can even alert the user once it detects heart rate irregularities and sleep problems related to blood oxygen. There is also an NFC version of the OPPO Band with the support of mobile payments through AliPay. Xiaomi Mi Band 4 has a very accurate heart rate sensor and optional NFC, but it lacks a SpO2 sensor and it supports less sport modes. Realme Band 5 supports up to 9 sport modes, but it lacks NFC and a SpO2 sensor as well. Note that while OPPO Band and Realme Band are richer in terms of activity tracking inside their own software, Xiaomi Mi Band 4 supports a more convincing companion app (Xiaomi Mi Fit).
Battery
Xiaomi Mi Band 4 has the longest battery life: it lasts up to 20 days on a single charge. The silver medal goes to the OPPO Band with 14 days, while Realme Band lasts just 9 days at max. OPPO Band and Xiaomi Mi Band 4 can be charged through a custom charger, while Realme Band does not need a charge: if you remove the strap, you can find a USB-A connector which can be plugged directly to the USB-A port of your PC, smartphone chargers, and more.
Price
OPPO Band went on sale in China with a price tag of $28/€25 in the standard sport version, $35/€31 in the Fashion version. You can actually find the Xiaomi Mi Band 4 at a similar price, while Realme Band is priced about €12. The OPPO Band wins this specs comparison because it comes with more features, awesome design, and a better display. The Realme Band takes the last place, but it costs half of the price of its two rivals. However, we believe it is better to spend something more to get something better unless you do not care about the additional features offered by the OPPO Band and the Xiaomi Mi Band 4.
