After announcing the Oppo Enco Q1 wireless headphones last month, the company revealed its pricing for the Chinese market earlier this month. Now, the headphones are available for purchase in China for 599 Yuan, roughly $84.
The Oppo Enco Q1 headphone uses a 3D neckband design that’s thick at the end and thin at the center. It uses a one-piece design without any cuts or splits. The Q1 headphones will feature dual Active Noise Cancellation with four mics.
In simple terms it means that Oppo is using a hybrid noise cancellation technology on its new model, featuring both a feedforward and feedback ANC. The feedforward active noise cancellation uses the external microphone to measure ambient noise before it enters the ear, processing that signal to ensure an exact and opposite signal leaves the system’s speaker to effectively cancel the ambient noise.
The internal microphone is used to create the feedback loop of the feedback noise cancellation system. A filter is used to minimize the acoustical signal near the microphone. The headphones come with in-ear earbuds that are curved at a certain angle to fit the ears comfortably.
It also comes with support for AAC high-quality audio and the company claims that the headphones provide 22 hours of ultra-long battery life on a single charge, which is very impressive. However, real-life battery life needs to be tested to ensure it lives up to the company’s claims.
The Oppo Enco Q1 comes in three color options — Black, White, and Orange. Priced at 599 Yuan (approximately $84), the headphones will go on sale in China from 12th September.

For fans of Pure Android who are willing to shell out more money for a premium device, the Google Pixel 4 is definitely on their radar. Google’s upcoming smartphones will not only bring a pure Android experience but will also be the phone to beat when it comes to camera performance.
Although a release date is still unknown there has been a steady stream of leaks keeping us satiated. The latest is a promotional video and a couple of live photos that reveal an interesting color variant.
The 1-minute long promotional video highlights some of the software features of the phone such as the gesture control which is powered by the Soli radar chip, the usefulness of the Google Assistant, and the phone’s low-light camera performance. We also get a tease of the phone’s zoom capabilities as the video shows a shot of a star-filled sky being captured.
The video highlights the fact that this is a device made by Google, the same people behind YouTube and Google Maps, and that “you get more than a phone, you get a phone made the Google way”.
In the video, we see the Google Pixel 4 in white with a black frame and black bezels in front. The square camera housing is unmissable and the LED flash sticks out like a sore thumb against the black camera housing.
[envira-gallery id=”275198″]
The other leaks are live photos of the phone and they reveal the Pixel 4 will come in orange or coral. This color variant looks gorgeous and will look really nice next to the coral Google Home Mini. The Pixel 4 will also come in white and black. The latter is the only whose camera housing actually blends since it is also black. All three appear to have an orange power button.
The Pixel 4 should launch next month based on the release dates of its predecessors. When it does, it should ship with Android 10 out of the box as well as some Pixel-exclusive software features.
For a lot of people, February and September are the most important months of the year when it comes to the mobile sector. During this month, Apple and Huawei (which are the third and the second smartphone brands in the global market, respectively) usually unveil their most powerful flagship phones of the year. And there are also many other manufacturers coming up with new handsets.
That is why you may find this article very interesting: it lists all the most important upcoming smartphones in September 2019. The list does not include the several devices unveiled at IFA 2019: for those, we send you to our dedicated IFA 2019 page. Here, you will find the rest of the phones we know will be officially announced on September 2019.
Top upcoming phones of September 2019
Huawei Mate 30
After unveiling two new color variants of the P30 Pro which will probably ship with EMUI 10 based on Android 10 out of the box, Huawei will take the wraps off the Mate 30 series on September 19. The line-up will include the Huawei Mate 30 and the Mate 30 Pro, alongside the 5G version. They will be powered by the new Kirin 990 unveiled a few days ago which will be the first chipset to hit the market with an integrated 5G modem. The rear camera sensors will be housed inside a circular module known as “Oreo” module on the back, and they will include two 40 MP sensors. The Mate 30 series will ship without Google apps and it will adopt third-party alternatives available on a custom version of Android 10 due to issues coming from the U.S. ban.
OnePlus 7T and 7T Pro
Despite its devices will launch in the final part of the month, let’s not forget about the OnePlus 7T line-up. They will debut in India on September 26 while they will come in the U.S. and Europe in October. The series is supposed to include three models: OnePlus 7T, OnePlus 7T Pro and OnePlus 7T Pro McLaren Edition. The first will sport a 6.55-inch flat display with a 90 Hz refresh ratio and a Full HD+ resolution. It will be powered by the Snapdragon 855+ chipset paired with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage in its base version, while the rear side will house three cameras in a circular module including a 48 MP main sensor, an ultrawide 16 MP sensor and a 12 MP telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom. The battery will have a 3800 mAh capacity and it will support Warp Charge 30T, while the operating system will be Android 10 out of the box. OnePlus 7T Pro and 7T Pro McLaren Edition will sport a 6.67-inch curved display with a 2K resolution and still a 90 Hz refresh ratio. The processor will be the same but memory configurations will start from 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of internal storage. The camera placement will be different and the rear side will house three cameras including an ultrawide sensor and a telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom. There will also be a big 4085 mAh battery.
Apple is ready to unveil the successors of iPhone Xs, Xs Max, and XR: even this year there will be three models, including a more affordable variant. Their names will be iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max, and they will be official tomorrow, on September 10. The display sizes will remain the same as their predecessors: 6.1, 5.8 and 6.5 inches respectively. But there will be an important addition on the Pro variants: they will both support the Apple Pencil just like iPad Pro. All the phones will be equipped with an Apple A13 built by TSMC on a 7 nm+ process and paired with 4 or 6 GB of RAM depending on the model. There will be no 5G, but there is Wi-Fi 6. iPhone 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max will sport a triple camera setup, while the vanilla iPhone 11 will have just two cameras.
Xiaomi Mi Mix 4
According to a cryptic post on the microblogging platform Weibo and leakers, Xiaomi Mi Mix 4 will be officially announced on September 24, and it will obviously have a 5G variant. Leaked specifications confirmed that the phone will come with a 2K display and a full ceramic body. It is supposed to be powered by the Snapdragon 855+ chipset paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and 1 TB of internal storage. It seems that it will also be the first Xiaomi phone with a 100 MP rear camera using the sensor recently unveiled by Samsung. And it is also rumored to come with 40W fast-charging. Alongside the Mi Mix 4, Xiaomi might launch the Xiaomi Mi 9 Pro 5G, the first phone with a 30W wireless charging technology.
Vivo NEX 3
The official launch date of the Vivo NEX 3 is September 16. If we exclude the gaming phones from the iQOO series, Vivo did not release any flagship this year, so this is a very awaited moment. Vivo NEX 3 will come with an amazing design including a notch-less display with very thin bezels, as well as the 5G connectivity. The rear camera module will be round-shaped and it will include three sensors, while on the front there will be a pop-up camera. The device will boast a 6.89-inch AMOLED display with a Full HD+ resolution and an integrated biometric sensor. And give that it will support 5G, you probably understood that it will be powered by the Snapdragon 855+ chipset. The main sensor of the rear camera is said to have a 64 MP resolution, while the battery is supposed to carry a 4500 mAh capacity and the support to 44W fast charging.
Samsung Galaxy Fold
After delaying it for several months, Samsung finally launched the Galaxy Fold in its homeland: South Korea. The foldable smartphone is finally ready for the market with a few tweaks done in order to make the display more resistant. The Galaxy Fold is going to hit some European countries including the UK on September 18. Its listing price will probably be around €2,000. Unfortunately, the foldable phone will come only in select markets and not in the whole Old Continent.
Oppo Realme XT
Oppo recently fooled Xiaomi by unveiling the world’s first phone with a 64 MP rear camera a few hours before the announcement of the Redmi Note 8 Pro. However, the Realme XT did not have a proper launch event: the phone will officially launch in India on September 13. It will be an affordable mid-ranger which will rival the Redmi Note 8 Pro with a Snapdragon 712 chipset, a 4000 mAh battery, a quad rear camera and an outstanding quality-price ratio.
Samsung Galaxy M30s
Last but not least, Samsung Galaxy M30s will make its debut on September 18. It will be another mid-ranger with a 6.4-inch display and a triple camera including a 48 MP main sensor. But its key feature will be a huge 6000 mAh battery and, despite the huge battery, the phone will weigh just 174 grams. Galaxy M30s will be fueled by the Exynos 9611 chipset and it will obviously carry a pretty affordable price.
Nokia 7.2 and 6.2 were officially unveiled at IFA 2019 among a bunch of other products such as the Nokia 2720 Flip and Nokia Power earbuds. However, these two phones turned out to be the real showstoppers of the Nokia event in Berlin, thanks to its revamped design and competitive specs. Now it looks like HMD Global is all set to release the duo in India as well. Both the models were recently listed on the official Nokia India website.
The Nokia 7.2 and the 6.2 share a similar design language with a waterdrop notch on their 6.3-inch IPS LCD displays and a circular camera housing at the back. But the real highlight is the color options available like Cyan Green and Ice which makes their design stand out even more. Unfortunately, the Nokia India website doesn’t reveal a date for its release. But the company is said to have sent invites for a September 11 event in India, likely for their launch.
Unlike the global variants, the Nokia duo won’t have NFC support. This was recently confirmed by a company executive. While the lack of NFC is a bit disappointing, it’s not going to be a deal-breaker for most Indian customers. NFC payment is not really a popular feature in India and even the Nokia 4.2 which was announced in May in India lacked this one particular feature.

Huawei announced its alternative to Google’s Android operating system dubbed Harmony OS recently. The company’s much-anticipated smart TV was tipped to be among the first products to have the OS on board. Reservations for the Huawei TV has now opened today (09/09) in China via Jingdong (JD.com).
The JD product page includes a timetable of the product release including the launch date. From the page, we can grab that Huawei will hold a global launch conference on September 19 where the TV dubbed Huawei Smart Screen will be unveiled. According to an official poster released by Huawei on Weibo, the launch event will hold in Munich, Germany. The smart TV will go on pre-order on September 20 but the release date wasn’t stated. The part that was supposed to contain the date contains the words “Stay tuned”. However, we expect the device to go on sale in no distant time after the launch.
The new smart device will become the second device from Huawei to feature Harmony OS after the Honor Smart Screen that was launched packing The new OS. Little is known about the Huawei Smart Screen but it was recently certified at China’s National Quality Certification Center. The certification page shows the smart TV will have a 55-inch model and a 65-inch model, and both are from Hefei BOE Video Technology Co., Ltd, one of China’s leading LCD makers. Huawei’s CEO Richard Yu later disclosed that there is also a 75-inch model. The new smart device is also expected to feature a pop-up camera, AI technology, powerful sound systems, cloud services and others, in addition to the new operating system. It will equally become a new control centre for Huawei’s Internet of Things (IoT), providing artificial intelligence-powered interactive user experiences.
The launch of the smart TV, which is expected to ship globally, is a superb opportunity for the Chinese tech giant to showcase the capabilities of Harmony OS. This has become even more imperative considering that the company is positioning the OS as an alternative to Android OS on the Huawei P40 next year if it remains on the US government blacklist and unable to access Google’s Android service. The self-developed OS is also expected to find its way to Huawei smartwatches and laptops in the near future.

On Sept. 16, Vivo will be debuting the Vivo NEX 3 flagship phone to replace the Vivo NEX S from last year. The most striking feature of the Vivo NEX 3 is its notch-less screen that is equipped with extremely curved edges. Ahead of the launch, the Chinese manufacturer has revealed the entire design of the phone through a couple of teasers. Also, the NEX 3 has appeared on TENAA with full specifications.
Vivo NEX 3 Design
The NEX 3 has a marvelous notch-less display with extreme curvature coupled with ultra-thin side bezels. An earpiece is available on the top bezel of the smartphone. The top and bottom bezels of the phone are also very thin. Rumors surrounding the NEX 3 smartphone have claimed that it may offer a screen-to-body ratio of 99.6 percent.
The rear-mounted round-shaped camera housing three sensors arranged in a triangular manner is inspired from the design of mechanical watches. An LED flash is present under the circular module of the device. The top bezel of the phone has a wider pop-up camera module that is home for two front-facing cameras.
Another important thing about the design of the Vivo NEX 3 is that there are no physical buttons on the sides of the device. It features pressure-sensitive zones for volume and power. There is an additional power button at the top edge of the phone. There is a 3.5mm audio jack and a microphone on the top side of the smartphone. On the bottom, the NEX 3 has an external speaker, a USB-C port and another microphone. The smartphone may release in Black and White color editions. Here is an unboxing video of the NEX 3 smartphone that showcases its design.

ZMI is best known as a Xiaomi partner company that makes chargers of various types as well as cables and power banks. Today, the company announced a new 65W USB-C charger for MacBooks, iPhones, laptops and all other devices that support USB Power Delivery.
But this is no ordinary charger. Not only is it small, 50% smaller than Apple’s 61W USB-C Power Adapter, it is also really cheap. It is actually priced at ¥149 (~$21) which is less than one-third the price of Apple’s own charger.
The ZMI USB-C 65W Charger has a two-tone black finish with a foldable plug design albeit American and 65W branded on the sides. It has a single USB-C port at the top and measures 50mm x 50mm.

Xiaomi today held the 5G era charging technology conference where it unveiled the Mi Charge Turbo 30W Wireless charging technology. The company also revealed some of its products that are in the works. One of them is a 40W wireless charging solution which was revealed alongside a Mi 30W Wireless charging stand and a 20W wireless charger.
The 40W wireless charger may likely be released in the near future and will put Xiaomi in an exclusive zone. The new 30W wireless charger is the first in the world and is expected to feature on the Mi 9 Pro 5G which will be released soon. The 30W wireless flash charger can charge a 4000mAh from 0% to 50% in 25 minutes while it takes just 69 minutes.
The company says the 40W super wireless fast charging technology has entered the testing phase. The 40W wireless charging solution will deliver an improved 33% faster-charging capability. In addition to wireless direct charge, Xiaomi says the future flagship standard would deliver not just wireless charging but also wired charging and reverse charge. The product may likely not debut this year but we expect it to drop at the earliest, next year.
The Meizu 16s Pro was announced last month and is already available for purchase. The phone which starts at under $400 has a gorgeous design with pretty slim bezels and flagship specs to match. Today, Meizu has revealed it will make an announcement tomorrow that is related to the flagship.
The news was shared by the official Weibo account and it says there is an announcement tomorrow at 10 o’clock. The post also includes a poster with the figures “25”, “130”, and “140” written in red, green, and blue fonts respectively.
We think the announcement is related to the Meizu phone with the model number M928Q which appeared on TENAA last week. Seeing as the Weibo post includes a Meizu 16s Pro hashtag, the TENAA phone is likely a variant of the new flagship.
According to the TENAA listing, the Meizu M928Q has a 6.5-inch 2232 x 1080 OLED display. It is powered by a 2.84GHz octa-core processor which is actually the Snapdragon 855. There is 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage but no support for storage expansion.
The Meizu M928Q also has triple rear cameras like the 16s Pro but a different configuration and design. It is a 12MP + 8MP + 5MP setup. Although the sensors are stacked on top of each other on the left just like the Meizu 16s Pro’, it doesn’t use the ring-flash design which means the third sensor and LED flash are not integrated together. The second camera sensor also has a red ring around it. Up in front is a 16MP sensor for selfies and video calls.

The rest of the specs include an in-display fingerprint scanner, Android 9 Pie pre-installed, and a 4400mAh battery. It will be available in blue, green, and red. These are the same colors used for the font of the figures in the poster above. The phone measures 159.63 x 78.2 x 8.3 millimeters and weighs 183 grams. The extra thickness and weight are not surprising as the phone packs a bigger battery capacity than the Meizu 16s Pro.
We strongly believe Meizu’s announcement for tomorrow is related to this device. When it launches, it should be cheaper than the base model of the Meizu 16s Pro which is priced at ¥2699 (~$379).
A report from the previous month had claimed that Vivo India will be launching several new phones including a new U-series phone in the country.

As of this writing, there is no information on the specifications of the Vivo U10 phone.
Vivo U1 from 2018
In order to capture the online market, Vivo is also selling Z-series phone like Vivo Z1 Pro and Vivo Z1X that are priced between Rs. 15,000 and Rs. 20,000. For offline markets, it is selling Vivo S-series in the same price range in the country. The Vivo V-series costs between Rs. 20,000 and Rs. 30,000. Rumors have it that the Vivo V17 Pro phone may go official in the third week of this month.
As per a recent market research study by Counterpoint, Xiaomi is leading the Indian market with 28 percent market shared followed by Samsung with 25 percent market share. Vivo is third with 11 percent market share. Vivo India could be eyeing the second position in the India n market as the company has planned to invest Rs. 4,000 crores in the coming years to produce 5 crore mobile phones per year.
Whenever the name Blackberry is mentioned, what readily comes to mind is the physical QWERTY keyboard-packing smartphone. But the company is much more than its ailing smartphone brand. In recent times, BlackBerry reorganised into three business units: IoT, Blackberry Cylance, and Licensing with a focus on enterprise software, services, security, and the Internet of Things. In this light, the company has announced a partnership with automobile giant Jaguar Land Rover which will see both firms work together to develop new autonomous vehicles using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning technologies.
The autonomous vehicles will use Blackberry’s QNX operating system and Blackberry Cylance, the security software technology which Blackberry acquired at the end of last year. This is in a bid to develop a range of capabilities to bolster vehicle safety, including predictive software maintenance and cyber threat protection, in Jaguar Land Rover’s next-generation vehicle architecture.
The partnership will also see Blackberry help Jaguar Land Rover identify potential security vulnerabilities found in connected and autonomous vehicles. This will be the first time Blackberry will integrate Cylance’s AI technology into Blackberry’s solution since it bought the security company at the end of last year in what was its biggest acquisition to date.
Xiaomi announced the Mi Charge Turbo 30W wireless charging technology at an event in China today. The new charging solution takes wireless charging speeds to new levels, making it even faster than the company’s own wired charging technology. At the same event, Xiaomi also revealed a couple of wireless charging accessories that are in the works.
The first one is the Xiaomi Mi 30W wireless charging stand. The charger comes in an all-white design and is relatively thin. It acts as a dock for your smartphone and features a quiet fan inside. It can wirelessly charge your phone at 30W using the Qi wireless charging standard.
The second product is even more interesting. It supports the company’s current 20W wireless charging standard and comes in at a relatively thick form factor. It’s almost as thick as a book! However, there are a few features that sets it apart. First, this charger is said to come with a smart wireless charging tracking technology. This technology can locate and match the receiving wireless charging coil on your phone with the transmitter coil inside the charger. This ensures that your phone will start charging the moment it is placed on the charger, irrespective of its position. This teaser video (taken from Weibo) actually explains it perfectly.
Further, this 20W Mi wireless charger supports OOB pairing (Out of Box) which is fast and brings security and stability while charging wirelessly. From the image, we can also discern that this 20W smart wireless charger will have a small display that shows the current time as well as the power output.
Xiaomi hasn’t revealed a release date or pricing for these two wireless charging products, but expect it to be present at the Xiaomi Mi 9 5G launch that should happen sometime in the coming weeks.
