Earlier this week, Lei Jun, the Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Xiaomi Group, shared a picture online. The image depicted the senior executive alongside the new Redmi Smart TV MAX 98 inch. This showcased the massive size of the large TV and served as Lei Jun himself stood next to it as a reference of its height.
According to Lei Jun, the Redmi Smart TV MAX 98 inch has been placed in the lobby of the office and due to its large size, it garners attention and looks spectacular at first glance. Thus, he also posed next to the TV to showcase its massive size. Reportedly, the Redmi Smart TV MAX 98 inch has a height of 1255mm (excluding the base). The post was shared on Lei Jun’s official Weibo account, a Chinese microblogging website.
This makes the new Redmi Smart TV MAX 98 inch the largest TV from the Xiaomi subsidiary, and it has been appropriately dubbed as the “theatre screen” with its large screen ratio of 98.8 percent. The TV sports a 4K resolution with 85 percent NTSC wide color gamut, 192 dynamic backlights, HDR support and is equipped with the ninth generation of image quality engine, which enables various improvements in the viewing experience.
Furthermore, the new Redmi Smart TV also features the MEMC motion compensation which solves smearing, jittering, and ghosting effects when watching high speed motion pictures on the giant screen. It even houses a custom 12nm quad core A55 processor along with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage with built in Xiao AI voice assistant as well. Due to its massive scale, it is priced high as well, with a price of 19,999 Yuan or roughly 2819 US Dollars.
The renders of the LG G9 ThinQ had appeared at the beginning of this year. Some reports had claimed that the South Korean company may kill the G-series and rival Samsung’s Galaxy S lineup flagship phones with its V-series. Last month, LG announce the LG V60 ThinQ. The hopes of G-series resurfaced when South Korean publication Naver reported in the previous week that the LG G9 ThinQ will be arriving as a mid-range phone. A fresh report on the same publication states that the LG G9 is dead.
The South Korean publication reported that the LG has axed its G lineup. Hence, there won’t be LG G9 or G10 phones coming in the future. The report further states that the company is planning to launch a new high-end 5G phone in the first half of the year.
Last week’s report had claimed that the LG G9 ThinQ will be powered by Snapdragon 765G. While the company won’t be launching G-series phones in future, the SD765G phone is said to be the same the high-end 5G device that will break in the next few months.
The upcoming SD765G LG phone will have a 6.7-inch or 6.9-inch display and it will be housing a 48-megapixel quad camera setup. It will be equipped with a 4,000mAh battery and it will be priced lower than 1 million won (~$816). The company also plans to sell a Dual Screen accessory for it.
The South Korean company is also said to be working on a new edition of its ”chocolate cellphone.” It was a slider phone that had debuted as LG VX8500 Chocolate in the U.S. in 2006. There is no word on the specifications of the device. LG is also planning to 5G capable entry-level phones.
Huawei had launched the latest entry in its MateBook D 15 lineup back in November 2019. The laptop was an ultrabook Windows system and featured Intel‘s i5 processor alongside 8GB of RAM and 256GB of SSD (Solid State Drive) and a regular 1TB of HDD storage.
Now, a couple of months after its original launch, Huawei has now released a new variant of the laptop that features an improved 512GB SSD and Nvidia’s MX250 mobile gaming GPU. For those unaware, MateBook D 15 sports a 15.6 inch IPS anti glare display with a resolution of 1920 x 1080px. Its touchpad was larger than its previous iterations and its configuration brought in numerous improvements to performance.
Huawei’s MateBook D 15 laptops also house Intel’s latest 10th generation Core processors alongside Nvidia mobile GPUs. It is powered by a 65W USB Type C power adapter that weighs just about 160 grams. Interestingly, the Chinese tech giant’s laptop even supported fast charging for certain Huawei smartphones as well. All in all, the laptop was a solid offering, but its viability has been further improved.
Huawei MateBook D 15 & 14
The price of the newest version is 5,199 Yuan which roughly translates to about 732 US Dollars. Notably, the key difference between an SSD and an HDD storage is read and write speeds, with SSDs being faster than its disk variant by a large margin that also makes it more expensive. Hence, the bumped up storage version might be an extremely attractive offering.

The handset which is being referred to as OnePlus 8 Lite by the rumor mill is unlikely to go official with OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro. Reports claim that it may go official by the end of Q2. Max Weinbach who had leaked plenty of information on the Galaxy S20 series and Galaxy Z Flip before their official announcement. He is back with a vital information on the OnePlus 8 Lite phone. He has claimed that it will be debuting as “OnePlus Z.”
The source referred to it as "OnePlus Z" and said the hardware matched the previous OnePlus 8 Lite render. https://t.co/zB5PN9nQjW
The tipster first claimed that OnePlus is soon going to revamp the older OnePlus X under a new series. He further revealed that his source which revealed this information said that it will be arriving as OnePlus Z and its hardware matched the OnePlus 8 Lite. Now that the OnePlus Z is said to be a part of new series, it is likely that the company may release more upper mid-range Z series in future. At present, there is no information available on the upcoming OnePlus Z smartphone.
Rumors surrounding the OnePlus Z phone suggest that the phone will be sporting a 6.4-inch display that offers full HD+ resolution and 90Hz refresh rate. Like the OnePlus 8, it will be equipped with a flat display with a small round-shaped cutout for the selfie camera.

Smartphone makers in India have requested the government to label phones as an essential commodity. They have also appealed to the authorities to let them deliver phones via e-commerce platforms amid 21 days lockdown to fight the outbreak of coronavirus in the country.
Industry bodies Manufacturers’ Association of Information Technology (MAIT) and India Cellular & Electronics Association (ICEA), which include top smartphone and other electronics manufacturers have drafted letters to the government appealing to remove restrictions on transportation of components for both inland and export businesses.
MAIT, in its letter, proposed the government to list e-commerce companies under essential services so that they could execute deliveries of essential goods under a ‘controlled logistics framework’. On the other hand, the letter written by ICEA raises concerns of miscommunication between the home ministry and state/district authorities, which has led to the stoppage of the electronics goods movement as the local authorities are being overcautious.
Mau Kumar Jain, the managing director of Xiaomi India said that smartphones have become an essential item after food and groceries. He also added that smartphones can help in increasing social distancing but due to unavailability, sales have declined by one crore this month alone. Out of which, 30%-40% purchases are made by first-time smartphone buyers, who are in dire need of them at the moment. Hence, Xiaomi is asking the government to let them carry on their business so they could help the people in need.
Realme India CEO Madhav Sheth also made a similar claim that smartphones are a ‘gateway to other services’, which could be invaluable during these hard times. Apart from asking the government to let them sell their devices, he goes a step ahead and even urges to let the brand open its certain service centers with safety precaution as it has been receiving multiple requests from customers who need after-sales support badly.

Unfortunately, nothing else is known about the mysterious Huawei Vision Smart TV. The Chinese firm had introduced its first 75-inch and 65-inch Vision Smart TVs last year in November. Priced at 12,999 Yuan (~$1,832), the 75-inch edition offered users with a Quantum Dot LED display. It produced 4K resolution with a high refresh rate of 120Hz along with HDR boost support. It came loaded with the company’s very own HongMeng OS (also known as HarmonyOS).

The Honor 30S is one device that has been in the news a lot lately. From leaked press renders to official teasers confirming certain features. A new leak that has appeared on the web just before the launch reveals the price of the phone.
The price was gotten from an image that is reported to have been taken at an official Honor Store. The photo shows a price plaque of the Honor 30S and at the bottom, it has a ¥2699 (~$380) price tag. This is believed to be the starting price of the phone.

Update: The source of the leak has posted new info that says the phone has four rear cameras and not five. The article has been corrected to reflect the new camera specs.
Xiaomi’s Mi Note 10 launched late last year as a premium mid-range phone with a focus on camera performance. The phone and its Pro version are the first in the world to have a 108MP sensor and the pro-model currently sits at the sixth spot on DXOMark’s list of phones with the best cameras. A new leak has revealed there will be a “Lite” version of the phone.
The specs of the Mi Note 10 Lite were posted on Twitter by Sudhanshu Ambhore last Friday but he wasn’t sure about the name of the device. Yesterday, he confirmed in a quoted tweet that the phone is indeed the Mi Note 10 Lite.
According to the original tweet, the phone has model number M2002F4LG. It will have a 6.47-inch display just like the Mi Note 10 but there is no mention of the type of display (AMOLED or LCD). We also don’t know if it will have a waterdrop notch or a punch-hole.
And there's a 16MP front camera, instead of 32MP found in Mi Note 10
The Mi Note 10 Lite will swap the 108MP primary camera for a 64MP camera. It will also have an 8MP camera, a 5MP camera, and a 2MP camera for a quad-camera setup. The phone also replaces the 32MP selfie camera of the Mi Note 10 with a 16MP sensor.
With respect to the processor, the Mi Note 10 Lite will have Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 730 under the hood. The RAM and storage capacity wasn’t stated but there will be two versions.
The phone will pack a 5260mAh battery just like its siblings with support for 30W wired fast charging and will run Android 10 out of the box.
There is no info about a release date yet but more details should surface next month.
Every time new flagships series get released, everyone looks at the Pro versions and a lot of people do not understand that vanilla versions have a way higher value for money and they can be enough for their needs. That may be the case of Huawei P40, Oppo Find X2 and Xiaomi Mi 10. If you do not need the most impressive camera ever and a few other special features such as a waterproof design and wireless charging, they can let you save a lot of money while still being the perfect devices for you. But which is the best device for your needs from this trio? Through this comparison, we will try to give you the answer to this question.

Design
Oppo Find X2 is one step forward when it comes to the aesthetics, at least in its ceramic variant. Besides offering a very high screen-to-body ratio and a camera module comprising all the camera elements, the device has a ceramic back and it is also splash resistant with the IP54 certification. While Oppo Find X2 offers a more premium design, Huawei P40 has a more compact body. With its smaller display, it is much easier for one-handed use and to keep in a pocket. But its huge camera module and its big punch hole are not the best solutions to make a beautiful phone. Xiaomi Mi 10 sits in the middle but unlike the Huawei P40 and the Oppo Find X2 it does not offer any protection against dust and water.
Display
Oppo Find X2 is one of the best smartphones for display quality. It has exactly the same panel as the Oppo Find X2 Pro and it is superior to both Huawei P40 and Xiaomi Mi 10 by a huge margin. It offers a high Quad HD+ resolution, a 120 Hz refresh rate, a 240 Hz touch-sampling rate, up to 800 nits brightness, HDR and complete DCI-P3 gamut. The second place goes to Xiaomi Mi 10 boasting a 90 Hz refresh rate, a 180 Hz touch-sampling rate, and HDR10+. Huawei P40 is disappointing if we compare its display to Xiaomi Mi 10 and Oppo Find X2, but it has a more compact size.
Hardware/Software
With the Oppo Find X2 and Xiaomi Mi 10, you get a better chipset: the Snapdragon 865 paired with a Snapdragon X55 which is an external 5G modem supporting both sub-6 GHz frequencies and mmWave. You even get exactly the same memory configurations, so you should not notice big differences in performance. What differs is the software side, but excellent software in both cases. The ColorOS 7 contains several improvements and new features compared to the sixth version, and the MIUI 11 is amazing as well. Huawei P40 has a less performing chipset and less RAM, and it does not come with Google services out of the box.
Camera
If we talk about the camera we still can not give you a definitive verdict since we still did not test all the cameras. While Xiaomi Mi 10 might offer better capabilities at video recording, Oppo Find X2 and Huawei P40 may actually give you a better overall experience. But specs on the paper are not enough to judge the overall quality of these devices like camera phones.
Battery
Xiaomi Mi 10 is the winner of the battery comparison since it packs a way bigger 4780 mAh battery which should last a lot more on a single charge. It is also the only to support wireless charging and reverse wireless charging. On the other hand, Oppo Find X2 has the fastest wired charging technology with a power of 65W. The phone is able to go from 0 to 100 percent in just 38 minutes.
Price
Huawei P40 and Xiaomi Mi 10 have a starting price of €800 globally, Oppo Find X2 will cost €999 (12/256 GB). There is not a definitive winner of this comparison, but I would not go for the Huawei P40 for that price. Oppo Find X2 is my favorite one due to its amazing display and fastest charging technology, as well as an amazing triple camera. But Xiaomi Mi 10 will offer a longer battery life and wireless charging, so it is still a valid handset.
The OnePlus 8 Pro’s launch draws closer with each passing day, and while we wait for an official confirmation, leaks are pouring in that reveal key details about the upcoming phone.
If you are curious about the camera configuration of the OnePlus 8 Pro, you don’t have to wait till launch day as the teenage leaker, Ishan Agarwal (@ishanagarwal24), has shared the specifications.
According to the leaker who has partnered with the Indian blog, PriceBaba, the OnePlus 8 Pro will have a 48MP primary camera which is a Sony IMX689 sensor with F1.78 aperture size. This is the same sensor used by the OPPO Find X2 Pro.
The phone will also have a second 48MP camera but this is the Sony IMX586 sensor. This second camera is the ultrawide angle camera with an f/2.2 aperture and a 120° field of view. The third camera is an 8MP telephoto camera with an f/2.4 aperture and 3x optical zoom. The OnePlus 8 Pro will also be capable of 30x digital zoom. The fourth camera sensor is a 5MP color filter.
The leaker mentioned some software features coming to the phone such as Night Portrait Mode, improved OIS and EIS, cinematic effects and a feature called “3-HDR”.
The OnePlus 8 Pro will make it to DXOMark’s list and should be among the top 5 devices but it remains to be seen how long it will retain its spot before being pushed out of the top 10 list.
A new leak of the OnePlus 8 has just been posted on the web and it reveals a color variant we have never seen before as well as several pictures of the phone from different angles.
The source of the leak is Roland Quandt’s WinFuture.de tech blog. According to the site, the OnePlus 8 will be announced on April 15. The phone will come in three colorways – Glacial Green, which leaked recently; Onyx Black; and a third color gradient variant called Interstellar Glow.
[envira-gallery id=”313462″]
The OnePlus 8 has a 6.55-inch Fluid AMOLED display with an FHD+ resolution and curved sides. There is a punch-hole at the top left corner for the selfie camera. Unlike last year’s OnePlus 7 which skipped on the high refresh rate, the OnePlus 8 will have a 90Hz refresh rate.
The back of the phone is also curved and covered in glass. There is a USB Type-C port at the bottom of the device flanked by two cut-outs for the speaker on one side and the microphone and SIM tray on the other side.
The OnePlus 8 will have a Snapdragon 865 processor inside with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage or 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. This is a OnePlus phone after all, so there is no support for storage expansion.
[envira-gallery id=”313467″]
Unlike last year’s model that has just two rear cameras, the OnePlus 8 has three – a 48MP primary sensor, a 16MP ultrawide angle camera, and a 2MP depth sensor. The selfie camera is a 16MP sensor, the same pixel count OnePlus has used since the OnePlus 3T.
