Unfortunately, the pricing of the upcoming laptop series is unknown, but it could be around or even below the 60,000 INR mark (roughly 795 US Dollars).
Vivo recently launched the flagship Vivo X50 lineup in its home market which includes X50, X50 Pro, and X50 Pro+ smartphones. While the Pro+ model will be available from next month, the other variants will be up for purchase from this month only.
The Vivo X50 is set to go on sale tomorrow while the X50 Pro will be available for purchase in China from 12th June. But from today, the company has started taking reservations for the smartphone through JD.com.
It comes in two variants — 8GB RAM + 128GB storage which costs 4,298 yuan (approximately $603) and 8GB RAM + 256GB storage model which is priced at 4,698 yuan that roughly converts to $663.

Under the hood, the device comes powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G octa-core processor, along with 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM and up to 256GB of UFS 2.0 flash internal storage. Thanks to the SD765G chipset, the phone has 5G connectivity support.

The phone is running Android 10 operating system with the company’s own FunTouch OS user interface on top. The Vivo X50 is powered by a 4,315mAh battery and comes with support for 33W fast charging technology.
After launching the FreeBuds series for TWS earphones and FreeLace wireless earphones, Huawei has today launched the third product under its Free-branded audio lineup — Huawei FreeGo Portable Bluetooth Speaker.
The Huawei FreeGo portable Bluetooth speaker is quite small and compact as the body of the device measures 120mm. This makes it easy for the speaker to be carried around.
The highlight of the speaker, as mentioned by the company, is that it comes with features like one-touch sound transmission and wireless sound transmission. The speaker packs dual speakers and has a biological high-frequency diaphragm for transparent treble.
It has an aluminum alloy low-frequency diaphragm that makes the bass sound more powerful and thus it effectively enriches sound details. The company says that it can work properly within a distance of three meters.
Other features of this portable speaker include built-in dual anti-noise microphones and support for smart echo suppression, among others. It also comes with support for Huawei Share for the “Touch and Talk” function that enables to share mobile phone audio to the Bluetooth speaker through NFC.

Although the company has announced this new speaker, pricing details have not been revealed by Huawei. But the company has said that the FreeGo speaker is expected to be available for purchase in China from mid-July.
Gree Electronics, which is one of the major appliances manufacturers in China, seems all set to launch its first 5G smartphone in the market. A leak related to the device reveals that the phone will come powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 765G chipset.
Apart from the information that the device will come powered by the SD765G SoC, nothing is known about the phone in question at this point in time. However, we expect to know more about this in the coming days and weeks.
While this will be the first 5G smartphone from the brand, it won’t be the first mobile phone. The company had previously launched a couple of smartphones but was not received well. The sales were also not what the company expected and thus, it hasn’t launched any news devices in a few years.
It seems that the company is now looking for a way to re-enter the smartphone market. With the infrastructure of 5G developing and so its demand, the company is betting on this next-gen communication technology to grab headlines and hopefully sell more phones.
Previously, we reported that Gree Electronics was granted a patent for the design of a flexible smartphone that was filed by the company in April 2019. So, it won’t be surprising if the company also plans to launch a foldable smartphone or if this new SD765G-powered has a foldable display.
Apart from the foldable smartphone design, the company has also patent applications for facial recognition and scanning methods as well as a new graphical user interface (GUI), among other things, signaling that the company is focusing on the smartphone market.
For those who are unaware, Gree Electronics is widely known in China for its consumer-grade electronics which includes home appliances like refrigerators and air conditioners. The company also provides services and equipment for commercial entities as well.
A couple of weeks ago, Realme launched its first smartwatch in the Indian market, dubbed as Realme Watch. Today, the device will go on sale in India for the first time at 12:00 PM through the online marketplace Flipkart and Realme.com.
The Realme Watch comes in four strap colors — Black, Red, Blue, and Green. It is priced at ₹3,999 (approximately $52). The company is offering Black strap with the purchase of the smartwatch and the other straps can be purchased separately.
In terms of design, the smartwatch looks very much similar to the OPPO Watch that was recently launched. From the first look itself, it’s clear that the Apple Watch is the design inspiration for the device.
Coming to the specifications, the Realme Watch comes with a 1.4-inch Touchscreen display with 2.5D curved Gorilla Glass 3 protection on top, offering 320 x 320 pixels screen resolution, 323 PPI pixel density, and 380 nits brightness.
It comes pre-installed with 12 watch faces but the company has said that it will be adding more than 100 more watch faces later through an over-the-air (OTA) update, but there’s timeline available for the update.
There’s support for 24/7 Health Assistant, which includes real-time heart rate monitor, blood oxygen level monitor (SpO2), and 14 sports modes. The sports modes include Football, Basketball, Table Tennis, Bike, Spinning, Elliptical, Yoga, Cricket, Running, Walking, Treadmill, Badminton, Aerobic Capacity, and Fitness.
It also comes with Step Tracker, Idle Alert, Meditation, Water Drinking Reminder, and Sleep Monitor. The device can be connected to the smartphones using the Realme Link app which will enable calls and message notifications as well as smart notifications from several other third-party applications.
The smartwatch from Realme can also be used to control music playback, unlock the smartphone, as well as to control smartphone’s camera functions. The device is IP68 rated, making it water and dust resistant.
After Xiaomi-backed Redmi announced a discount for the Redmi K30 Pro and Redmi K30 Pro Zoom Edition smartphones for the 618 sales in China, the company is now offering 100 yuan discount on the purchase of Redmi K30 Racing Edition.
With the discount, the phone will be available for 1,899 yuan which is about $268 instead of its original price of 1,999 yuan (approximately $282). The company is offering a discount on the phone even though it’s been just weeks since the phone got launched.
For those who are unaware, the Redmi K30 5G Racing Edition is the world’s first smartphone to come powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 768 chipset, one of the most powerful mid-range processors from Qualcomm right now.
The smartphone features a 6.67-inch Full HD+ display which offers a 120Hz refresh rate and 20:9 aspect ratio. Under the hood, along with the SD768G SoC, the phone comes packed with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage.
In the camera department, the phone features a 64-megapixel primary camera sensor, which is coupled with a wide-angle lens, a super macro camera sensor, and a depth of field camera. On the front, the device has a 20-megapixel primary sensor and a secondary depth of field camera for selfies.
The smartphone runs the Android 10 operating system out-of-the-box with the company’s own MIUI custom user interface on top. The phone, which supports dual-band 5G, is powered by a 4,500mAh battery which supports 30W fast charging technology.
iQOO introduced its first Z-series phone i.e. the iQOO Z1 in the previous month. The Z1 came with some impressive specs such as 144Hz refresh rate supporting display, MediaTek Dimensity 1000+ 5G chipset, triple rear cameras, and a big battery. The handset arrived with an enticing starting price tag of 2,198 Yuan (~$309). A fresh leak reveals that iQOO may launch a new phone named iQOO Z1x this month. It could be arriving as one of the cheapest 5G-ready smartphones.
According to a trustworthy Chinese tipster, the iQOO Z1x will be fueled by Snapdragon 765G SoC. The handset will be the company’s first mid-range smartphone. The leakster claims that it is a very affordable price tag. The Weibo post by the tipster is no longer accessible as it has been deleted.
The iQOO Z1x is expected to be priced lower than the iQOO Z1. The Dimensity 820 powered Redmi 10X 5G that went on sale earlier this week is the cheapest 5G phone with a pricing of 1,599 Yuan (~$225). At present, the Redmi K30i 5G’s 6 GB RAM + 128 GB storage edition that has a price tag of 1,899 Yuan is the most affordable SD765G phone. It remains to be seen whether the iQOO Z1x will be priced lower than the Redmi K30i 5G.
The iQOO Z1 has a 6.57-inch IPS LCD screen with a punch-hole for its 16-megapixel selfie snapper. The display offers a 20:9 aspect ratio, Full HD+ resolution, and up to 144Hz refresh rate. The rear side of the smartphone features a 48-megapixel + 8-megapixel + 2-megapixel triple camera system.

A recent report had revealed that Motorola is working on the successor edition of Motorola Razr foldable phone that was made official in Q4 last year. The device is expected to go official around September this year.A recent leak had revealed the key specs of the device that is being dubbed as Motorola RAZR 2 by the rumor mill. The specs leak did not carry any information on its display. Fresh information shared by Display Supply Chain Consultants (DSCC) CEO Ross Young reveals that the RAZR 2’s outer and inner screens will be larger than the predecessor model.
The Motorola RAZR has a 6.2-inch P-OLED foldable display that offers a 21:9 aspect ratio and it has a 2.7-inch external display for viewing notifications. Young said that the RAZR 2 will come with a larger inner display of 6.7 inches. Without revealing the exact details, he also mentioned that RAZR 2’s inner display will also increase in size.
The original RAZR did not support 5G connectivity. The successor model is expected to come with a 5G-ready Snapdragon 765 mobile platform. It’s a good upgrade since the original RAZR came with the older Snapdragon 710 SoC. The device may house a larger battery of 2,845mah capacity.
The RAZR 2 is expected to come with 8 GB of RAM and a built-in storage of 256 GB. It is likely to come with a front camera of 20-megapixel and its rear could be featuring the 48-megapixel GM1 sensor from Samsung.
The device will come preloaded with Android 10 OS. It is being built for users in China and North America.
Before the launch of the Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Lite smartphone in Europe, the rumor mill had speculated that it could be rebranded as Xiaomi Mi CC 10 smartphone in China. After the launch, a Xiaomi executive told Mi fans that the Mi Note 10 Lite won’t be rebadged as Mi CC series product. The Mi CC9 series was introduced in July last year. Fresh information reveals that the company could be working on Mi CC 10 lineup and it may debut in the next month. It is speculated to come with a 108-megapixel camera along with support for 120x digital zoom.
A Russian tech blog has revealed some vital information on an upcoming Xiaomi phone that is codenamed as CAS. It is believed to be a family member of forthcoming Xiaomi Mi CC 10 lineup.
The blog states that the company has been working on the CAS phone since the beginning of this year. Its 108-megapixel lens won’t be the Samsung HMX sensor that has been previously seen on phones like Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro, Mi 10, and Mi 10 Pro. Instead, it could be featuring an improved version of the same lens that is codenamed as HM2.
The inclusion of the new lens will not only bring support for up to 120x digital zoom, but also 12x optical zoom. Such a high optical zoom on a smartphone will be made possible through the periscope zoom lens technology that the company previously employed on the Xiaomi Mi 10 Youth Edition smartphone. The periscope lens on the phone brings support for up to 50x digital zoom.
The leak further states that the Xiaomi MI CC 10 will draw from the upcoming Snapdragon 775G chipset. The SoC will bring support for 5G and NFC on the device.
OnePlus 8 series is receiving May 2020 security patch update around the world with optimizations, camera tweaks, and more. This is the second major update for OnePlus 8/8 Pro after last month’s April security update which also brought a similar set of changes.

Design
Do you mind about having a dual punch-hole in your display in order to get the most narrow bezels? If you do not, Realme X50 Pro Player will offer you amazing design with a glass back, an aluminum frame, and a compact camera module, for a very elegant look. If you want a full screen experience, Redmi K30 Pro has a holeless display since it comes with a motorized pop-up camera. But its glass back houses a more invasive camera module. Honor Play4 Pro has a gaming-centric design, not the best for those who want an elegant phone.
Display
Realme X50 Pro Player is equipped with the same display as the vanilla X50 Pro and it is the most amazing panel of this trio. Besides coming with the Super AMOLED technology and a Full HD+ resolution, it has the HD10+ certification and a high 90 Hz refresh rate. Redmi K30 Pro takes the silver medal with a Super AMOLED and HDR10+ display, but unfortunately, it lacks the 90 Hz refresh rate. Honor Play4 Pro is equipped with an average IPS panel supporting a standard refresh rate and providing a 1080p resolution, just like the ones you can find on most of the midrange phones.
Hardware/Software
Redmi K30 Pro and Realme X50 Pro Player offer a higher level of performance because they are fueled by Snapdragon 865 mobile platform which is more powerful than the Kirin 990 chipset found on the Honor Play4 Pro. Realme X50 Pro Player looks more convincing because it offers up to 12 GB of RAM (instead of just 8 GB like the Redmi K30 Pro), but Redmi K30 Pro still looks awesome with its UFS 3.1 internal storage (X50 Pro Player has a UFS 3.0 native storage). With all of these devices, you get Android 10 out of the box.
Camera
The most complete rear camera department belongs to the Redmi K30 Pro as it comes with a 64 MP quad camera including a 13 MP ultrawide sensor and a 5 MP telephoto macro sensor. But the Honor Play4 Pro has better zoom capabilities thanks to a telephoto lens with OIS and 8x optical zoom. When it comes to front cameras, Honor Play4 Pro is superior as it offers a dual selfie camera including a 32 MP main sensor and an 8 MP ultrawide lens.
Battery
The biggest battery belongs to the Redmi K30 Pro which can provide a longer battery life on a single charge. But it has the slowest charging technology with just 30W. The fastest charging technology belongs to the Realme X50 Pro Player with a power of 65W bringing the battery from 0 to 100% in just 35 minutes. But Honor Play4 Pro is still pretty fast with its 40W charging tech, and it even supports reverse charging.
Price
Honor Play4 Pro carries a starting price of just €360/$408 in China, Realme X50 Pro Player starts from €334/$379, and Redmi K30 Pro is priced €375/$425. If you are seeking the best gaming experience, choose the Realme X50 Pro Player which offers a higher refresh rate and a best hardware department. Redmi K30 Pro gets close under these points of view, but it is inferior. However, it has better cameras and a bigger battery. Honor Play4 Pro has very interesting cameras, but not everyone may like its display and its chipset has an inferior performance level to the Snapdragon 865 found on Realme X50 Pro Player and Redmi K30 Pro.

Hublot Big Bang e Titanium
The Big Bang e isn’t the luxury brand’s first smartwatch but is its first full-production model. The first smartwatch from the brand was launched in 2018 and is a limited-edition model. The Big Bang e Titanium and Big Bang e Black Ceramic have the same basic design as other Big Bang watches with a 42mm dial.

Recently, two new Huawei entry-level tablets with model numbers AGS3-W00D and AGS3-W00E were certified by 3C in China. Both tablets are equipped with 10W chargers. A new Huawei table that fits the description has just been spotted online. The product name in Chinese translates to Huawei Tablet C3 but going by the company’s recent naming style, this should be called Huawei MatePad C3.
The Weibo source shared a couple of pictures detailing the design and key specs of the Huawei tablet. The MatePad C3 will feature an 8-inch display with a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels. It is powered by a MediaTek MT8768 processor and comes with 3GB RAM and 32GB storage.

The MatePad C3 is also equipped with a single 5MP rear camera and a 2MP selfie shooter. There is a massive 5,100mAh battery under the hood. The product will run on EMUI 10 based on Android 10 and has Bluetooth 5.0 support.

The leakster hints the tablet should be priced around 1599 yuan (~$224) which is expensive for an entry-level product. We’ll have to wait for Huawei to official launch the tablet to know the actual price.
Recently, Realme released an important smartphone in the affordable flagship segment – the Realme X3 Superzoom. Probably from its name you’ve already guessed what strength it holds. Yes, the phone is called SuperZoom because it has incredible zooming capability.
We have seen how Realme has successfully launched special smartphones with incredible pricing. And the X3 Superzoom is no exception. Usually, smartphones equipped with super camera combinations supporting 5x optical zoom are pretty expensive but the new Realme model stands out from its competition.
While it seemed that high resolution zooming cameras would be exclusive to expensive flagships, the Realme X3 SuperZoom tries to change this trend by bringing it to the upper mid-range segment.
We have already posted the Realme X3 SuperZoom hands on a few days back but now let’s take a closer look at the device and its cameras. In this X3 SuperZoom camera review, we try to check whether the powerful cameras do justice to its specs in real-life performance.
Realme X3 SuperZoom Display
Before talking about its camera, let’s look at its display. We think it’s unfair to the phone if we don’t take about its 120Hz refresh rate, even if it’s not on the first page of Realme official advertisement. But it’s an LCD display which doesn’t allow to have an in-screen fingerprint reader — so you have to use a side-mounted fingerprint-enabled power button. The pixel arrangement is quite similar to what we’ve seen on the other 120Hz LCD display. Compared to most mid-rangers that feature a 60Hz display, the X3 superzoom offers much better fluidity.
Realme X3 SuperZoom Camera Review
As for its camera, the X3 Superzoom features a 64MP main camera with a Samsung GW1 sensor which was announced at the end of last year. Another highlight is the top 8MP telephoto camera. It supports up to 5x Optical zooming and 60x hybrid zooming. To guarantee its stability, the telephoto camera has OIS anti-shake. The other two cameras are an 8MP wide-angle shooter and a 2MP macro camera.
Let’s check out whether this combination works well in real life.
First, let’s see some samples from the primary camera. The original high-resolution sensor shot samples with pretty good detail and clarity. And under good light conditions, the samples had excellent exposure and white balance. An interesting feature for the Realme camera app is its AI color dazzle mode. It’s similar to the vivid color mode on other phones. But at the same time, the Realme model could adjust the colors in a smarter way of AI recognition. The color reproduction is lively with higher saturation than the originals.

But a problem is that though the photos shot by the main camera had impressive contrast, the dynamic range of the photos didn’t satisfy us as the dark areas lost some detail and had some noise.
And then we try to see how it performs in night scenes. From the samples, we could see significant brightness improvement and the exposure balance between brightness and shadow. In the aspect of noise reduction, it managed to smoothen the dark scenes in the images at the software level. But if you look closer, we could see some blurring marks left by software tuning.

Now let’s talk about the samples shot by the wide-angle camera. Although the 8MP resolution now is not the best option for a smartphone’s wide-angle camera, the wide-angle samples of the Realme X3 Superzoom still have decent colors and good anti-distortion. And the X3 also had the same problem on the wide-angle camera as most phones — it didn’t do well on removing color fringing in the image.

And let’s move to another camera, the macro camera. Well, it’s almost one of the standard setups for Realme’s models. And as usual, the Realme Macro samples maintained a pretty good production in really close shooting distance.
There are a few smartphones that have 5x optical zoom but this model is the first mid-ranger that actually features 60x digital zoom capability. The Realme X3 SuperZoom covered almost the same shooting range as the Huawei’s latest P40 Pro flagship – from 0.6x to 5x optical zoom, and even longer digital zoom as well.
We also compared it with the P40 Pro’s zooming samples. For the 5x zoom option, although the X3 Superzoom samples have lower resolution than Huawei’s samples, Realme’s zooming samples have pretty good color representation and better color contrast. When we zoom up to 10x, the resolution strength of the Huawei’s model is more significant. But here we have to praise the Realme X3 Superzoom for the OIS anti-shaking, which allowed us to shoot the clear zoomed-in photos with my hand.

It’s clear that Realme X3 Superzoom’s biggest strength is its telephoto camera with 5x optical zoom – unseen on smartphones in its price range. So we had to check how good the Realme X3 Superzoom camera was, especially when compared to the best in the market – the Huawei P40 Pro.
The samples showed us that the Realme model did not fall very behind in quality. The cameras are not a gimmick and perform really well for a device in its price range.
So if you want an affordable smartphone with powerful zooming capability, the Realme X3 SuperZoom won’t disappoint you!

Xiaomi Youpin has played host to another innovative product – the Weiyuan Smart Handheld Bladeless fan. The fan features a design which has won the German iF design 2019 award as well as the Good Design and Red Dot design award. It is under crowdfunding for just 39 yuan (~$5) but will retail for 69 yuan (~$10) after the exercise.
The bladeless fan adopts a simple but impressive design. The design is such that it blows air from a ring with no external blades. Due to the absence of physical blades, the fan will not generate dust or hurt children’s fingers. The Bladeless Fan adopts a working mechanism similar to other known brands like Dyson. The air is drawn in by a compressor in the base and then directed up into a ring. It comes out of a slit around the ring and passes over a shape like that of an aircraft wing (Coanda effect).
The bottom of the Weiyuan Smart Handheld Bladeless fan adopts a 7-wing diagonal flow impeller, which can form a high-pressure airflow into the air. When the air guide vane is pressurized due to the high airflow, the air is then pushed toward the air outlet at a wind speed of 7.52m/s.
The bladeless fan has a sophisticated internal design with noise reduction at the foundation. The high-pressure airflow passes silently and the fan’s running sound is controlled within 55dB which is cooler and quiet.
The Weiyuan Smart Handheld Bladeless fan is powered by a built-in 2000mAh lithium battery. Designed with three-speed level controls, the battery can last up to 10 hours if the fan is operated at the lowest speed level. It can be charged through a USB-C interface and has the 5V/1A power rating. The battery can be fully charged in 3 hours between charge.
Another impressive aspect is its lightweight. The bladeless fan weighs just 137 grams making it a compact device that can fit into a backpack easily.
