Redmi 7A is receiving Android 10 but newer and costlier Xiaomi phones are still running Android Pie

Jun 5, 2020

Redmi announced Redmi 7A ahead of Redmi K20 series launch in China. The phone came with MIUI 10 based on Android Pie out of the box. Now, after a year from its release, the handset is receiving Android 10 update in its home country.

The Android 10 update for Redmi 7A in China comes with build number MIUI 11.0.1.0. It also bumps up the security patch level to May 2020. Having said that, the costlier models in the same generation, as well as the next generation, are yet to receive the same update.

Redmi’s first 48MP camera smartphones, the Redmi Note 7 series is still running Android Pie just like Redmi 7 from the same family. Fortunately, these models are popular in the custom ROM community. So, power users can enjoy the latest Android, even Android 11 in some case.

Further, the whole Redmi 8 series (excluding Redmi Note 8 Pro) is also yet to receive the Android 10 update. That means the most selling Xiaomi smartphone of Q1 2020, the Redmi Note 8 is still running Android Pie.

The situation is even terrible for the forgotten Mi Mix 3 5G, the company’s first 5G smartphone. The phone launched with Android Pie-based MIUI 10 and the brand did not even update it to MIUI 11, let alone Android 10 and MIUI 12.

It is high time Xiaomi starts updating its handsets to latest Android on time in addition to MIUI. Also, it should improve in delivering regular security patches to devices in all segments.

Last but not least, Xiaomi should also axe the Android One series if it cannot deliver proper bug-free timely updates. The 2019 Mi A3 has shown us how undedicated the company is towards this series.

OPPO has announced two new models in the Reno4 series today in China. The Reno4 and the Reno4 Pro are upper mid-range smartphones featuring a powerful camera setup, optimized for videography. Another big highlight of the new OPPO Reno4 series is its slim and lightweight form factor.

The OPPO Reno4 Pro is the real star of the series featuring a curved AMOLED display upfront and a 3D curved back for better ergonomics. The standard Reno4 comes with a simple, flat AMOLED panel. Both the phones have triple cameras at the back, but the Pro variant packs a more powerful setup.

The new night algorithm enables clear and colorful night videos. They also support OPPO’s Video Anti-Shake 3.0 technology when using the ultra-wide-angle sensor as well as front camera video stabilization.

The new Reno4 models add a live HDR video mode and 21:9 custom movie shooting mode with manual parameter adjustment options which the company claims offer a more professional shooting experience. This paired with OPPO’s Soloop video editor which features classic movie filters and soundtracks, you can produce high-quality videos right from your Reno4 smartphone.

Same IMEI number found in over 13,500 Vivo smartphones in India

By

-

Jun 5, 2020

Phones are uniquely identified by their IMEI number. This number consists of 15 digits, which is assigned by the device manufacturer. No phone should have the same IMEI number, unfortunately, that has what happened to over 13,500 Vivo smartphones in India.

The investigation of multiple Vivo smartphones with the same IMEI number began when a sub-inspector of Meerut found out that the one on his phone was changed when he received it from a Delhi service centre in the month of September 2019. The case was soon assigned to the cyber cell team of Meerut Police.

Over the course of 5 months, the investigation revealed that more than 13,500 Vivo smartphones across different states of India had that same IMEI number. When questioned, the manager of the Delhi service centre denied changing them.

Since tampering of IMEI number is a criminal offence, the police sent a notice to Vivo India’s nodal officer Harmanjit Singh under Section 91 of the CrPC (Code of Criminal Procedure).

Vivo India is yet to comment on this matter. Only then, we can paint a picture of what went wrong these many numbers of phones.

PSA: If you bought a new phone or received it after repairs, make sure to check the IMEI number on your handset matches with the one printed on the box and invoice. To access IMEI number on any phone, open dialer and type *#06#.

Talking about video capture, exposure, color accuracy, and autofocus were praised again for consistent performance. The primary sensor’s stabilization also receives a high scoring due to its impressive functionality. However, the testings did reveal a few issues, pertaining to shadow exposure in HDR scenes, some visible temporal noise and aliasing being visible in highlights. Apart from these, the camera of the OnePlus 8 Pro was said to be a great and consistent performer, which has come a long way in just a few short years of the company’s existence.

Jun 5, 2020

Redmi is soon expected to add a few more devices to its Redmi 9 series. We have already got the Redmi Note 9, Note 9 Pro, and the Note 9 Pro Max. Now, Redmi 9 and its variants are expected to launch this month. And according to our supply chain sources, the Redmi 9 launch could be very near.

Our sources reveal that the Redmi 9 is already being stocked up. This is a very good indication that the device will go on sale soon. Earlier rumors said that the release date is on June 25, but considering this new information, we believe the launch could be even sooner.

Redmi 9 Pricing

In addition to this, we’ve already got the pricing of the Redmi 9. According to our source, the 4GB RAM and 64GB variant of the device will retail for around $149. The 3GB RAM and 32GB ROM variant will retail for approximately $139. There will be three color options available at launch: Grey, Sunset Purple, and Green. Also, the phone features a quad-camera setup at the back with a rear-placed fingerprint sensor.

REDMI 9 Pricing

4GB RAM + 64GB ROM	$149.99

Our information is in line with the recently leaked image of the Redmi 9. The photo revealed two color options for the device: Green and Purple. The camera housing is similar to the Redmi K30 but the vertical arrangement of the sensors resembles the Redmi Note 8 Pro, which includes a fingerprint sensor below the camera. But the Redmi 9 won’t have the same glossy finish as the Redmi K30.

The Redmi 9 should come with the Helio G80 processor and a 6.53-inch FHD+ LCD display. We expect the four cameras at the back to be as follows: 13MP + 8MP + 5MP + 2MP. The phone should also feature a large 5000mAh battery just like its predecessor. We will try to confirm Redmi 9 specs details from our source soon.

OnePlus might disable the Color Filter Camera for Indian OnePlus 8 Pro Units

By

-

Jun 5, 2020

The OnePlus 8 Pro is the latest premium grade flagship from the Chinese company. But recently, people started noticing an interesting function that the 5 megapixel color filter camera offered. While it seemed like a quirky addition in the camera module, the Color Filter was capable of looking through certain plastics and even thin white clothing as well.

Now, it is suggested that OnePlus might be disabling this feature altogether, with new OnePlus 8 Pro being sold in India having the color filters disabled outright. When the camera’s ability was originally discovered, the company sent out an OTA update that essentially disabled the camera. However, this was said to be a mistake, and OnePlus soon reverted the change. But a new report suggests that the feature will be completely disabled in the flagship device in India.

Reportedly, XDA Developers have found evidence of this move occuring for the Indian market. According to their new post, the OnePlus Camera 4.0.267, which was rolled out for OxygenOS 10.5.10 for the OnePlus 8 Pro units in India carries a few notable additions. This new update adds video filters, but apparently, it also includes plans for a “Smart Scene Enhancement” toggle.

Furthermore, the update also includes the property “InfraredCameraBuilder.ModelsToDisableInfraredCamera” which was modified to include “IN2020” and “IN2021.” The former refers to the Chinese OnePlus 8 Pro version while the latter is for the Indian variant. When enabling the values that are planned to roll out in the IN2021, it was revealed that the update disables the color filter camera on the camera app.

Despite the OnePlus 8 Pro already being launched, the device has yet to start sales in India. The primary reason for the delay was the government mandated lockdowns and restrictions. But as the restrictions are being eased, an imminent launch is expected. Interestingly, XDA Developers also stated that internal sources revealed a possible fix arriving for the Color Filter camera. In other words, the company will eventually enable the camera again after “fixing” the camera’s unintentional abilities.

The first-ever iQOO smartphone is finally receiving iQOO UI Android 10 update

Xiaomi Mijia Laser Projection TV 4K Home Theater

-

Jun 5, 2020

Vivo iQOO was the first phone in the series of flagship killers, which was soon spun-off into an independent brand. It came with FunTouchOS 9 based on Android Pie out of the box like the other four devices that launched after it. In April. the company announced that all the old handsets will be receiving iQOO UI Android 10 update in mid-June. As promised, the brand is currently rolling out the update to the original iQOO.

Vivo has been never known for affordable powerful smartphones. Instead, the company focused on designs and bleeding-edge technologies like in-screen fingerprint sensor, pop-up camera, waterfall display, and more.

But to everyone’s surprise, the company launched Vivo iQOO in March of 2019 with high-end internals for a mid-range price tag. It was a huge success and so Vivo launched a few more models and declared iQOO a separate brand.

The iQOO 3 5G launched earlier this year is the first phone from the brand to come with iQOO UI based on Android 10. Right before the launch of iQOO Neo 3 5G in China, the company revealed that it will roll out the latest software to all of its old devices in mid-June.

Surprisingly, we are just in the first week of June and the update has been already released for Vivo iQOO. We expect the remaining eligible devices to also receive the update in the coming days.

Though iQOO is late to update its first-ever smartphone to Android 10, it is understandable since it is a new brand and developing an Android skin from scratch does take time. Hopefully, the company updates its smartphones faster with the release of Android 11 later this year.

A new Xiaomi patent has recently surfaced for a foldable smartphone. The patent was found on CNIPA (China National Intellectual Property Administration) database and reveals a device that highly resembles the Huawei Mate Xs.

Looking at the images, the Xiaomi patent is for a smartphone with a flexible display. It folds outward with a noticeable bezel on the right corner when completely unfolded. When it is folded outward, the rear the front facing side is full screen body while the rear has a narrow segment that houses its camera module. This design is quite similar to the Mate Xs that was launched earlier this year.

The large display on the front has negligible bezels surrounding it, with the narrow right corner also featuring the volume rockers and power button. The narrow segment on the back sports a quad camera setup along with a mic, an LED flash, and a button as well. This button is apparently pressed to release unfold the display from its place. In other words, the display is secured with this mechanism.

The patented Xiaomi smartphone is charged via a USB Type C port that is flanked by a speaker grill. When looking at the device from the back, one can observe the hinge mechanics on the rear of the device is unfolded. Unfortunately, it is unknown if the Chinese tech giant will actually manufacturer such a device or if it’s just covering all bases.
