Xiaomi, the China-based company known for its value-for-money smartphones and MIUI custom Android interface, has not limited itself to being a smartphone brand and has launched a wide range of products.

Now, it seems that the company is all set to launch yet another product category for eye glasses. A new Weibo account has been created by the company which has already been verified with a blue tick, confirming its authenticity.

While the new Weibo account from Xiaomi is now live, there’s nothing posted on this new page. However, a Weibo user has shared images of the upcoming Xiaomi glasses that the company is expected to launch pretty soon.

Xiaomi has already launched two types of sunglasses in the market but has not yet launched frames and eye glasses. From the leaked images of the eye glasses, it seems that the company is looking for a couple of products in this new lineup but is set to unveil a whole range of products.

Editor’s Pick: Xiaomi will officially announce the Mi Mix 5G, Mi 9 Pro 5G, and MIUI 11 on September 24

However, we’ve not yet independently verified the claim related to the leaked images of the Xiaomi eye glasses for the authenticity. Xiaomi usually launches non-core products through its sub-brands which include Redmi, Huami, Yunmi, among others.

Since the Xiaomi account for this new range of products have already been live on Weibo and thus, we expect the company to officially make announcement related to this in the coming days.

OPPO had held a launch event on Sept. 10 in China to announce the Reno2 smartphone. At the event, the Chinese firm confirmed that its next flagship is called OPPO Reno Ace and it will be made official in China in October. Today, the company has released a Weibo post to reveal that it will be announcing the Reno Ace phone on Oct. 10.

The launch poster of the OPPO Reno Ace states that it is equipped with 64W SuperVOOC Flash Charging technology. Last week, OPPO Vice President Brian Shen had said that the company will begin the mass production of its 65W fast charging technology in the next month.

Apart from the blazing fast charging technology, the OPPO Reno Ace is also expected to house a display that offers a refresh rate of 90Hz. The Snapdragon 855+ mobile platform is likely to fuel the Reno Ace. The other details on the specs of the phone are currently under the wraps.

In July, Shen had teased a phone with extremely curved edges. It is speculated that the very same phone could be debuting as Reno Ace. An upcoming 5G phone with model number PCKM70 was spotted on TENAA earlier this month. The rear design of the phone is quite similar to the Reno2 phone. In fact, it appears like the Snapdragon 855+ edition of the Reno2 with 5G support. It remains to be seen whether the same phone will be made official as Reno Ace.

The OPPO Reno2 is now available for purchase in China with a price tag of 2,999 Yuan (~$424). The Snapdragon 730G powered Reno2 has a 6.5-inch AMOLED display with notch-less appeal.

Sep 16, 2019

The launch of Huawei’s next-generation Mate series flagship smartphone is just days away and ahead of the launch, Evan Blass has shared the render images of the Huawei Mate 30 Pro and the Huawei Mate 30 RS Porsche Design.

While the Mate 30 Pro smartphone was confirmed through numerous leaked in the past couple of months, nothing was known about the Porsche Edition. However, a recent teaser from the company confirmed that the Mate 30 RS Porsche Design will be launched along with the Mate 30 series and now its renders have also surfaced online.

The leaked renders show both the smartphones having a waterfall screen that has its edges curved from the sides, similar to what we’ve seen on Samsung‘s smartphones. Further, the render shows Mate 30 Pro having a wide rectangular notch on top of the display for housing the front-facing snapper.

On the back side, the smartphone features a circular camera module in the top-middle position, which is being referred as “Oreo” design. There are four camera sensors on the circular housing while the LED flash is placed in the top-left corner, outside the housing for camera sensors.

On the other hand, the Mate 30 RS Porsche Design also packs quad-camera setup on the back but instead of circular housing, they are packed inside a black-colored narrow strip that runs from the top towards the bottom. In this one also, the LED flash is placed in the top-left corner, outside the camera housing.

It seems that the Mate 30 RS Porsche Design variant will come in two color options — Black and Red. As for the specifications, just like the Mate 30 Pro, we expect the Porsche Design edition to come powered by the company’s own Kirin 990 SoC and an AMOLED display with 90Hz refresh rate display.

Evan Blass has also released a couple of more renders of the upcoming Mate 30 series devices. Along with the Mate 30 Pro and Mate 30 Porsche Design, he also shared the renders of the standard Mate 30 as well as the Mate 30 Lite smartphones.

As per the rumors, the Huawei Mate 30 Pro will come powered by a 4,500mAh battery with 40W fast charging support and 27W SuperWireless charging support. It is also expected to come packed with 8GB/12GB RAM along with 512GB onboard storage.

The device is also expected to come with IP68 ratings for water and dust resistance. Both the smartphones are expected to come powered by EMUI 10 custom user interface based on the latest Android 10 operating system.

Similar to its predecessors, the Mate 30 RS Porsche Design looks premium and thus, it will carry a hefty price tag. The Huawei Mate 20 RS Porsche Design was priced at 12,999 Yuan, which roughly converts to $1,838 and we expect similar pricing with the upcoming smartphone as well. To know for sure, we’ll have to wait for the official launch event scheduled on 19th September in Munich, Germany.

Xiaomi’s flagship conference for the second half of the year has been officially set. The company will announce two new smartphone products, the Xiaomi Mi Mix 5G, and the Mi 9 Pro 5G on September 24. Alongside the new smartphone announcements, Xiaomi will also take the wraps off the MIUI 11 OS and a brand new Mi TV.

It looks like the company will change the naming scheme of the new Mix series. Instead of adopting the Mix 4 name, the new model will be called the Mi Mix 5G. Xiaomi’s official teaser tags these two devices as concept phones, which isn’t surprising given that the Mix series started off as a concept lineup. As confirmed earlier, the Mi 9 Pro 5G will come with the world’s fastest wireless charging technology at 30W. It’s likely that the Mi Mix 5G also features this same tech.

These two 5G flagships will be joined by a new Mi TV model as well. Not much is known about this new TV, but it could be a premium offering with 8K resolution. It makes sense for Xiaomi to announce a premium TV at the event because a couple of days later, OnePlus will announce its premium smart TV in a few select markets.

Finally, Xiaomi’s September 24 flagship conference will also be used to announce the new MIUI 11 OS. The new OS is said to feature an updated design with unified icons and new features such as ‘voice assistant assisted call screenings’ among other additions.

Since the official event date is out, expect more details on these products in the coming days.

Poll of the Week: Redmi Note 8 or Realme 5?

By

Sep 16, 2019

The Redmi Note 8 and the Realme 5 are the less powerful versions of the Redmi Note 8 Pro and Realme 5 Pro. Both phones are different but they also share some similarities.

For starters, the Redmi Note 8 and the Realme 5 are both powered by the Snapdragon 665 chipset, so performance should definitely be the same on both devices if all other things are equal. They also both have quad rear cameras and their displays have the same notch design.

However, there are also some key differences which will influence your purchase.

Redmi has gone with premium materials for its phone; using Gorilla Glass 5 on both sides just as it did with the Redmi Note 7. It also uses an FHD+ panel, has a primary 48MP rear camera and a USB Type-C port just like its predecessor. Realme, on the other hand, covers only the front with Gorilla Glass while the rear is made of polycarbonate. The display is also an HD+ panel and it sports the old MicroUSB port. However, it packs a bigger battery – 5000mAh (10W charging) against the Redmi’s 4000mAh (18W charging) battery, is splash resistant and has a dedicated MicroSD card slot.

While both phones are yet to be available in the same market simultaneously (Redmi Note 8 is still only available in China while the Realme 5 is available in India), it is only a matter of time before that happens.

The Realme 5 with 4GB RAM and 64GB of storage is priced at INR 10,999 (~$153) while the Redmi Note 8 with the same configuration is priced at CNY 999 (~$141). The price of the Redmi Note 8 will definitely change when it launches in India but its Chinese price should give a rough idea of the Indian price tag.

We are curious to know which our readers will purchase, so this week’s poll is to help us see which of these two mid-range princes is the more preferred option. So, please go ahead and vote below.

Microsoft has an event scheduled for October 2 in New York where it will unveil new products. The Microsoft Surface Laptop 3 is one of the expected devices and details of the PC have popped online including one big info.

Winfuture.de reports that the Surface Laptop series will be getting a 15-inch version for the very first time. Its predecessors are only available with 13.5-inch screens. There will still be a 13.5-inch version of the Surface Laptop 3 for those who prefer a smaller display.

But a larger display is not the biggest change Mircosoft is making to the Surface Laptop line. The German tech blog also reports that the 15-inch version of the Surface Laptop 3 will feature an AMD Ryzen processor! This is a big win for Intel’s rival.

So far, three AMD-based models of the 15-inch Surface Laptop 3 have been discovered but the exact chipset powering them are still unknown. There are speculations they may be powered by the Ryzen 3000 series (Ryzen 5 3550H and Ryzen 7 3750H) which powers Honor’s MagicBook Pro Ryzen Edition which was announced early this month.

There is no mention of the 13.5-inch model getting AMD processors, so expect an Intel sticker on that model.

The 15-inch Surface Laptop 3 is rumored to also come with a 4K display with Surface Pen support. We also expect it to have a USB-C port this time.

Mi Bunny (kids) Smartwatch 4 Pro gets Bluetooth certificcation

If you are on the search for a smartwatch for kids, Xiaomi’s Mi Bunny Smartwatch series is one of those to consider (if you live in China). Just last month, Xiaomi announced the Mi Bunny Smartwatch 3C. Today, we found that a new model called the Mi Kids Smartwatch 4 Pro has received its Bluetooth certification.

The certification reveals the smartwatch has the model number MTSB08XUN. It was certified on September 10, 2019, and connects via Bluetooth 5.0.

The Mi Bunny Smartwatch 4 Pro should have an AMOLED display like its predecessor, the 3C model. Xiaomi switched to a square dial for the series starting with the Mi Bunny Smartwatch 3, and we believe it will remain that way with the 4 Pro too. We also expect it to have a 4G modem, a camera for video calls, GPS, Wi-Fi, and an IP-rating. Xiaomi shipped the 3C with the XiaoAI assistant, so this model will definitely have it on board too.

What we hope it has is an international version with support for multiple languages which a lot of Xiaomi fans have been requesting for.

The Mi Bunny Smartwatch 4 Pro will most likely get a quiet launch and may not arrive until October seeing as the Mi Bunny Smartwatch 3C was released just last month.

LG’s upcoming G Pad 5 10.1-inch is powered by an old SoC

When it comes to Android tablets, Samsung and Huawei are the two big-name manufacturers still actively in the business, offering both high-end and mid-range models. LG may soon announce a new tablet under its G Pad series but its processor might be the deal-breaker for a lot of folks.

The tablet’s existence was discovered by Mishaal Rahman of XDA-Developers. It was recently certified by Google under the Android Recommended devices program and also to run Google services.

Called the LG G Pad 5 and with the model number LM-T600L, the listings reveal it has a 10.1-inch FHD+ display with a 1920 x 1200 resolution and a 16:10 aspect ratio. It has a fingerprint scanner but no NFC and runs Android 9 Pie with LG UX on top.

When it comes to processing power, the LG G Pad 5 is revealed to be powered by the Snapdragon 821 processor. Yes, the chipset that powered the flagships of 2016. This is also the same processor that powers the LG G7 Fit which was announced in August 2018. If you ask us, we will say LG still has a significant amount of that chipset in stock, hence the decision to use it for a 2019 tablet.

The processor is paired with 4GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. There is no confirmation of other configurations but it should have support for storage expansion. There is even a render of the upcoming tablet online.

The render shows the LG G Pad 5 has moderately sized black bezels. There is a camera visible in the middle of the top bezel. Unfortunately, there is no image of the rear.

The LG G Pad 5 will most likely get a silent launch, but we will make sure to cover it when it is unveiled.
