Huawei will be launching the Nova 7 series of smartphone in China on April 23. Recent reports have revealed that the series include Kirin 820 5G powered Nova 7 SE phone, Kirin 985 powered Nova 7 5G and the flagship Nova 7 Pro 5G with Kirin 990 5G. The specifications of the Nova 7 series smartphones were revealed over the weekend through their leaked live shots. Two new phones with model numbers HNB-AN00 and NEY-AN00 have appeared on Geekbench benchmarking platform. These phones appear to be the upcoming Nova 7 and Nova 7 Pro smartphones.
Huawei NEY-AN00 – Could it be Huawei Nova 7 Pro 5G?
The newly spotted NEY-AN00 Huawei smartphone is equipped with 5G connectivity. The Kirin SoC that fuels it has a base frequency of 1.95GHz which indicates that it could be fueled by the Kirin 990 5G SoC. This suggests that the NEY-AN00 may be the Nova 7 Pro 5GT smartphone.
The NEY-AN00 has 8 GB of RAM and it runs on Android 10 OS. In the Geekbench 5’s single-core and multi-core tests, it scored 753 and 2899 points, respectively.
The HNB-AN00 Huawei phone recorded 655 in the single-core test of Geekbench 5. The handset achieved a scored of 2326 in the multi-core test. The smartphone is loaded with Android 10 OS and it has 8 GB of RAM.
The base frequency of the Kirin 5G chipset that power the HNB-AN00 is 1.84GHz. It seems to be the Kirin 985 chipset. Hence, it seems that the HNB-AN10 phone could be the Kirin 985 powered Nova 7 5G.
OPPO recently unveiled the Find X2 Lite smartphone in European markets. It arrived as the rebranded version of the OPPO Reno3 Vitality Edition (Reno3 Youth) 5G phone that debuted in China in February. The Chinese firm had launched the OPPO Reno3 Pro 5G phone in the home market in December. A recent leak had revealed that the company is planning to bring this phone to international markets as OPPO Find X2 Neo. Fresh renders of the two color variants of the Find X2 Neo have surfaced today.
The black model of the OPPO Find X2 Neo shown in the renders below seems to resemble with the Moon Night Black edition of the Reno3 Pro 5G. However, the blue-violet edition seems to be an exclusive paintjob for the global markets as the Reno3 5G was not made available in the same color variant in China. There is no fresh information on the specifications of the Find X2 Neo. Speculations are rife that its specs will be identical with the Reno3 Pro 5G handset.
The Find X2 Neov is rumored to come with a 6.5-inch curved AMOLED display with support for full HD+ resolution. The punch-hole screen is likely to support up to 90Hz refresh rate. The Snapdragon 765G chipset with 5G support is speculated to power the handset.
The Android 10 OS along with ColorOS 7.0 will be available on the Find X2 Neo. The device may feature a 4,025mAh battery. The handset may carry support for 30W fast charging.
For capturing selfies, the Find X2 Neo may have a 32-megapixel selfie snapper. The rear-facing quad camera setup of the phone may feature a 48-megapixel main lens, a 13-megapixel telephoto lens, an 8-megapixel ultrawide sensor and a 2-megapixel black and white lens. The handset may possess an in-screen fingerprint reader. The Find X2 Neo may debut by the end of this month with a pricing of 699 euros (~$758) for 12 GB RAM + 256 GB storage version.
Xiaomi launched the Mi 10 series of flagship smartphones consisting of Mi 10 5G and Mi 10 Pro 5G in mid-February in China. The handsets then made their way to the European market in late March with a new member called Mi 10 Lite 5G. Now, it seems this device will also launch in the company’s home country as the Mi 10 Youth Edition.
According to IT Home, the Mi Community in China has opened a new discussion thread for ‘Mi 10 Youth Edition’. This clearly indicates the newest version of Mi 10 to soon debut in China. When it does, it will be the second Snapdragon 765-powered smartphone from the house of Xiaomi, the first one being Redmi K30 5G, which just recently received a price cut.
The Mi 10 Lite or Youth Edition (China) comes equipped with a 6.57-inches FHD+ AMOLED panel with an in-display fingerprint sensor. On the back, the phone features a quad-camera setup in a matrix array at the top left corner. The setup includes a 48MP primary sensor paired with an 8MP ultra-wide camera, a 5MP macro unit, and a 2MP depth sensor. Whereas, the front camera is of 16 megapixels which sit comfortably in the dew-drop notch at the top center of the display.
The new Xiaomi device weighs 192 grams and measures 7.98mm in thickness with a 4,160 mAh battery powering it. The phone runs MIUI 11 based on Android 10 and is available in three colour options namely Blue, Black, and White respectively. The handset comes in two storage configurations – 6GB + 128GB and 8GB + 128GB and starts at €349.
Anyway, the Mi 10 Youth Edition may cost lesser in China and may even have a different storage configuration to further lower the price just like what OnePlus did with the OnePlus 8 series price in India.

The RMX2142 phone has appeared with all its specifications on TENAA today.
Realme RMX2142 specifications

Rumors are rife that Realme is also working on Realme X3 SuperZoom Edition smartphone. The Snapdragon 855+ powered phone is believed to have RMX2086 model number. The handset is yet to appear on TENAA.
OnePlus announced the OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro last week globally and in its home country of China a few days later. However, it failed to reveal the pricing details for India at the global launch event. The prices for the two phones were finally released today at 8 PM IST.
The OnePlus 8 will be available in three variants in India, unlike other countries where it is available in two variants. Below are the variants and their respective prices:
6GB + 128GB (Glacial Green only) = INR 41,999 (~$549)
8GB + 128GB (Glacial Green and Onyx Black) = INR 44,999 (~$588)
OnePlus has also revealed the price of the OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z earphones. The Bluetooth earphones will sell for INR 1,999 (~$26) At this price and with the features it offers, this should sell like hot cakes.
The OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro are definitely cheaper than the price in the US. Take for example the 12GB version of the OnePlus 8 Pro which is more than $200 cheaper than the selling price ($999) in the US.
The OnePlus 8 series sold in India is definitely manufactured in India which means it should be cheaper than in countries where it is imported. However, phone manufacturers in India have been forced to increase prices recently based on the increase in GST tax on mobile phones. Nevertheless, OnePlus has been able to price its new flagships quite well.
OnePlus says the phones will be available for purchase next month but didn’t specify a date.
Now that the prices have been announced, will you be purchasing the OnePlus 8 or OnePlus 8 Pro? Let us know in the comment box.
It has been almost a year since the launch of the Honor 9X series in China. A few days ago, Honor revealed it has sold over 10 million units of the device in China. While Honor has not said anything about a successor yet, a render of a phone alleged to be that of the Honor 10X Pro has surfaced on the web.
The alleged Honor 10X Pro has a punch-hole at the top left corner for a selfie camera and has a pretty slim lower bezel.
On the back, the phone has a slim rectangular camera housing that contains three rear cameras and an LED flash. A text written beside the sensors reads “64MP AI Triple Camera”.
The phone is reported to have a Kirin 820 processor, which is what we expect will power the successor to the Kirin 810-powered Honor 9X Pro. The source also mentions the display is an OLED panel supplied by China’s BOE Display, and that the phone supports 20W fast charge. We hope the latter is true because the Honor 9X series disappointingly only supports 10W charging.
Like we mentioned above, this is an alleged render of the Honor 10X Pro, so take it with a grain of salt. While a successor to the Honor 9X series should already be in development, we have heard no official reports yet.

LG is working on a new series of smartphones with a new design language. The first of the phones from this new series will arrive as the LG Velvet and LG has released a video on YouTube that focuses on its design.
The 35-second long video was posted on the official LG Electronics Korean YouTube channel yesterday. The video starts with a raindrop falling that then transforms into the primary rear camera. As you can see in the video, the primary sensor is raised while the other two sensors and LED flash are flush with the body of the phone.
The LG Velvet has a curved glass back that tapers to the edges. The silver frame in between the back and the front appears to be made of metal and has a mirror finish. The LG Velvet is shown to have its SIM card tray at the top along with two white antenna lines.
The phone has its power button on the right side while the left is home to the volume buttons and the Google Assistant button. The bottom of the phone is home to an audio jack, a USB Type-C port, and a three-hole speaker grille.
The LG Velvet will have a waterdrop notch just like LG’s recent phones. The video also revealed it will be a 5G phone powered by a Snapdragon 765 5G processor and it will be available in four colorways.
The LG Velvet is expected to launch next month but LG is yet to announce an official date.
Are you looking for the best affordable flagship? If so, you should learn everything about Xiaomi Mi 10, Huawei P40 and Realme X50 Pro. They offer an incredibly high quality-price ratio as they pack flagship-class specifications but they cost up to half of the most expensive flagship out there. If you need the highest performance alongside other high-end specifications, you do not necessarily need a top-tier flagship and you can save a lot of money by purchasing one of these handsets. This is a specs comparison between Xiaomi Mi 10, Huawei P40 and Realme X50 Pro which will help you to understand which of these devices is the closest one to your needs.

Design
Glass backs, aluminum frames, a punch-hole display, and a premium design: that is what you get with Xiaomi Mi 10, Huawei P40 and Realme X50 Pro. Huawei P40 has a more compact size and it is the only to offer dust and splash protection with its IP53 certification. But in my opinion, Xiaomi Mi 10 is the most beautiful with its curved edge-to-edge display, a single punch hole in the screen and a smaller camera module on the back, as well as a higher screen-to-body ratio. Do you prefer having the best look or a compact phone with a higher build quality?
Display
On the display side, it is a very close fight between Realme X50 Pro and Xiaomi Mi 10. In each case, you get a Full HD+ Super AMOLED display supporting a high 90 Hz refresh rate and the HDR10+ standard. Two great devices for gaming and multimedia, especially if you consider that they both come with stereo speakers. Unfortunately, they do not have the best displays you can currently get on a phone, but they still offer amazing panels. The Huawei P40 has a smaller and inferior display: it is an average AMOLED panel with a standard refresh rate.
Hardware/Software
Thanks to the presence of a Snapdragon 865 chipset paired with up to 12 GB of RAM, Realme X50 Pro 5G and Xiaomi Mi 10 are actually able to provide higher performance. The chipset is simply more powerful than the Kirin 990 found on the Huawei P40. Further, there is more RAM since Huawei P40 only comes with 6 or 8 GB of RAM. On the other hand, you can expand the internal storage of the Huawei P40, while Realme X50 Pro and Xiaomi Mi 10 do not have an expansion slot. The operating system installed is Android 10 customized by proprietary user interfaces.
Camera
The most impressive rear camera department is the one found on the Huawei P40. It includes a 50 MP main sensor with RYYB filter, a telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom, a 16 MP ultrawide lens and dual OIS. But Xiaomi Mi 10 is still a pretty nice camera phone: it lacks a telephoto sensor, but it has an amazing 108 MP main lens that can record 8K videos. Realme X50 Pro wins the front camera comparison since it sports a dual setup including an 8 MP ultrawide sensor. But despite including a telephoto lens, the photo quality provided by the rear cameras can not compete with the Xiaomi Mi 10 and the Huawei P40.
Battery
Xiaomi Mi 10 is the king of battery life with a huge 4780 mAh battery (even bigger than Mi 10 Pro). It is also the only phone from this trio to support wireless charging (with one of the fastest wireless charging technology due to a 30W power) and reverse wireless charging. On the other hand, Realme X50 Pro supports the fastest wired charging technology with a 65W power.
Price
Realme X50 Pro went global with a €599/$651 starting price, Xiaomi Mi 10 starts from €899/$978, and Huawei P40 costs €799/$869 in its base variant. While Realme X50 Pro offers the highest value for money, Xiaomi Mi 10 has the most advanced specs sheet. But if you need the best camera phone, then Huawei P40 is the guy.
The Nova 7 series from Huawei launched next week, four months after the Nova 6 series was announced. The series will include the Nova 7 SE, the Nova 7, and the Nova 7 Pro. Ahead of the launch, live photos of the three phones have leaked on the web, they not only give us a look at the devices but also reveal their specifications.
Nova 7 SE 5G
The Nova 7 SE is shown to have a punch-hole display. The hole is at the top left corner and it’s not the smallest we have seen on a phone. Unfortunately, none of the images show the rear of the phone.
The image that shows the About Phone section of the device reveals the phone has a 6.5-inch LCD display with a 2400 x 1080 resolution. There is a Kirin 820 5G processor inside the device and it draws power from a 4000mAh battery. The image also confirms the phone has support for 40W wired fast charging.
The Nova 7 SE has a 16MP f/2.0 front-facing camera and one of the rear cameras is a 2MP f/2.4 sensor. The Nova 7 SE will run EMUI 10.1 based on Android 10 out of the box. Its dimensions are 162.31 x 75.0 x 8.58 millimeters and its weight is 189 grams.
Nova 7 5G
The Nova 7 has a punch-hole display too but the hole appears to be smaller in size. The display also appears to be wider than that of the Nova 7 SE. The image of the rear shows the phone has four cameras arranged vertically and housed in a rectangle along with an LED flash.
The Nova 7 5G will have a 6.53-inch OLED display with a 2400 x 1080 resolution. It will be powered by the new Kirin 985 chipset paired with 8GB of RAM and 128GB or 256GB of storage.
The quad-camera setup on the back includes a 64MP f/1.8 primary sensor, an 8MP f/2.4 ultrawide angle camera, an 8MP f/2.4 telephoto camera, and a 2MP macro camera. The Nova 7 5G also gets a 32MP f/2.0 selfie camera.
Just like the Nova 7 SE, it too comes with a 4000mAh battery capacity with support for 40W fast wired charging and runs EMUI 10.1 based on Android 10. The Nova 7 5G will be available in five colors including red, green, purple, and black. The phone weighs 180 grams and measures 160.64 x 74.33 x 7.96 millimeters.
The Nova 7 Pro 5G is the leader of the pack and it comes with a more premium design and features. Its 6.57-inch 2340 x 1080 OLED display is curved at the sides and has a large pill-shaped hole for dual selfie cameras. It also has four cameras and one of them has a periscope lens.
The device will be powered by the same Kirin 985 chipset the standard version uses. It will also come with 8GB of RAM and 128GB or 256GB of storage.
The quad-camera setup on its rear is similar to that of the Nova 7, however, rather than an 8MP f/2.4 telephoto camera, it has an 8MP periscope lens with an f/3.4 aperture and optical image stabilization. The primary selfie camera is a 32MP f/2.2 AF sensor and it is paired with an 8MP f/2.2 FF ultrawide angle camera.

On April 19, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) reverted its original decision. E-commerce companies are once again allowed to supply only essential goods. Non-essential goods will remain prohibited until May 3, the end of extended lockdown. They might be able to start their operations as usual from May 4 if everything goes fine.

India has been under lockdown for almost a month to avoid the spread of coronavirus. The precautionary lockdown was initially set for 21 days, however, the rise of COVID-19 cases led the central government to further extend it till May 3.
But to keep up the economy running, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) announced a relaxation of businesses to start operating by abiding necessary rules from April 20. Following which, Flipkart, one of the largest e-commerce platforms in the country has confirmed to slowly begin its all services.
Flipkart, together with Amazon and other players have been operating in India even during the lockdown. But these companies are only limited to sell essential products. Thankfully, that will change with the new relaxation issued by the government as they can now start selling non-essential goods as well.
As of now, only Flipkart has confirmed to begin their operations. It has already started accepting orders for smartphones, which is one of the most selling categories of products on this platform. For the unaware, Flipkart is the largest home for exclusive smartphones in India.
Smartphone brands have been long trying to sell their devices since late last month by appealing the government to declare ‘smartphones as essential commodity’. However, that did not happen but once the MHA announced relaxation, they began their negotiations with their strategic online partners.
Coming back to Flipkart, it assures to follow the proper guidelines like maintaining social distancing by employing contactless deliveries through a sanitized supply chain. Also, it will offer services to only those areas where it is safe. Users can check if their area is eligible by entering the pin code.
We also expect all other players to begin their operations if it all goes well. Amazon, the primary rival of Flipkart in India is yet to confirm its decision.
Soon after the launch of the OnePlus 8 Pro and OnePlus 8, Zack Nelson of JeerRigEverything fame released a video of the durability test of the high-end OnePlus 8 Pro. In his usual pattern, the OP8 Pro teardown video has now gone live. Turns out the OnePlus 8 Pro is not only sleek on the outside but also features a beautifully designed internal structure.
The teardown video takes us through what it entails to pry into the internals of the OnePlus flagship. If there is a need to repair the device, it won’t be an easy task taking off the rear panel. That is because the panel is held in place with stronger adhesive and this is likely due to the IP68 waterproof and dustproof rating.
Zack describes the OP8 Pro as having among the best looking ‘guts’ he’s seen lately and we agree with him. The internal components are quite neatly arranged including the copper wireless charging coil. The phone would have been amazing with a transparent glass back due to the neat internals. More prominent is the copper wireless charging coil which adopts a large circular winding to manage the 30W wireless charging capacity. The loudspeaker was also observed to have got sound dampening balls to enhance the audio output.
In addition, the teardown also unmasks the presence of optical image stabilization (OIS) on the main 48-megapixel sensor and the 8-megapixel depth sensor. Once the back panel has been pry opened, other components can be detached easily. For instance, the battery is removed without much effort which makes for easy repairs. The optical fingerprint sensor was also shown in the teardown which you can check out from below.
OPPO earlier today silently launched the OPPO A92s in China. The OPPO Find X2 Lite has now gotten the same treatment as it has been officially unveiled in Portugal and is now listed in the brand’s local website.
OPPO Find X2 Lite Design, Specs & Features
The OPPO Find X2 Lite has been in the rumour mills no sooner after the Find X2 was launched last month. The device features a 6.4-inch OLED screen with FHD+ resolution and 20:9 aspect ratio. The screen supports 60Hz refresh rate. The display is protected by a Corning Gorilla Glass 5 overlay and is embedded with an under-display fingerprint sensor. With the OLED display, the screen is clearly visible, even in bright sunlight. The maximum brightness in daily operation is 600nit. The device has a lightweight build, weighing just about 180g with a thickness of just 7.96mm.
OPPO Find X2 Lite 5G is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 765 processor which brings SA/NSA dual-mode 5G connectivity onboard. The processor is paired with 8GB of RAM and there is 128GB internal storage. We expect other lower memory options to be made available. The device features an exclusive wrap antenna design that smartly adjusts according to the user’s position to obtain the best possible signal. Thus, there won’t be signal blocks or loss of connectivity especially during gaming as a result of how the phone is held.
Further, the Find X2 Lite comes with Smart 5G feature which switches seamlessly between 4G and 5G based on the network available and the available bandwidth. This helps to regulate the phone’s power consumption and is said to increase battery life by up to 30%.
For photography, the device houses a 32MP selfie shooter with f/2.0 aperture housed inside the waterdrop notch. At the rear, there is a quad-camera setup which consists of a 48 megapixels main camera with f/1.7 aperture. There is also an 8 megapixels wide-angle + macro lens, 2 megapixels monochrome lens and a 2 megapixels Retro-style portrait lens. Here are some samples.

The mid-range model gets its juice from a decent 4025mAh battery. The device comes with VOOC 4.0 fast charging technology which delivers 50% battery power in 20 minutes between charge. It runs on Android 10-based Color 7 OS with several impressive features.
OPPO Find X2 Lite Pricing & Availability
The Find X2 Lite will retail for 500 Euros in Europe but OPPO is yet to release the availability details. The phone will be available in two colour options – Pearl White whose inspiration comes from the calm and mysterious sky and Moonlight Black inspired by the deep night sky.
COVID-19 pandemic has become an unexpected nightmare for businesses around the world and Apple is no exception in this regard. A new report from Goldman Sachs expects iPhone sales to decline by 36% YoY in the second quarter of 2020.
Apple stopped reporting the number of iPhones sold a while back when the figure started declining. Instead, it only shares the revenue generated every quarter, which remains to be strong as these handheld devices now cost over $1000.
Anyway, the revenue data is enough for analysts to imagine the number of units sold. Seven analysts in a Bloomberg survey predict the Cupertino-based company to sell only 28 million iPhones in the on-going second quarter. While another group of three analysts suggests a 27% drop in the number of iPhones sold in the same period.
Additionally, the average selling price of the iPhones will continue to be Apple’s weakness. The sales figure will recover only by the last quarter of the year with a 2% drop compared to last year at the same time. Sadly, this will affect Apple when the company is expected to debut its first 5G capable iPhones.
Amidst this, Apple announced its first-ever sub $500 iPhone in years in the form of iPhone SE 2020. The phone starts at $399 for the base 64GB version and goes up to $549 for the top variant with 256GB storage. Whereas, the mid-tier 128GB model costs $449.
A few days back, Nubia announced the launch date of its next smartphone called Nubia Play. Since then, the brand has been teasing the features of this new handset on Weibo. For today, the company confirmed the presence of shoulder buttons for better gaming.
Ni Fei, the president of Nubia Technology and co-founder of Nubia brand has been sharing features of the Nubia Play in the form of teasers on his official Weibo account. Today, he revealed the device to feature shoulder buttons like the brand’s mainstream gaming smartphones.
Mr Fei claims the Nubia Play will offer an immersive smooth gameplay experience with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G underneath. As revealed earlier, the 144Hz refresh rate AMOLED display with 240Hz touch sampling rate and shoulder buttons will further enrich the gameplay. These buttons will be customizable and thus can be used in multiple games like PUBG Mobile, QQ Flying Car, and others.
The device will also feature an in-display fingerprint reader like any other new smartphones with OLED displays. For such power-hungry features including support for 5G connectivity, the Nubia Play will get its energy from a huge 5,100 mAh battery with support for 30W PD fast charging compatible with Quick Charge 4.0 chargers.
As for optics, the Nubia Play will come equipped with a qua-camera setup consisting of a 48MP Sony IMX586 sensor and a 12MP unknown selfie camera. Lastly, one of the least talked speciality of this handset is its no-nonsense display without any kind of notch or punch-hole.
