Honor will be announcing the Honor 20S smartphone in China. It appears that it won’t be the only Honor phone that will go official today. Through Weibo, the Chinese firm has confirmed that it will be unleashing the Honor Play 3 series today at 7 PM (local time) in China.
Honor has not released any details on the Honor Play 3 series. However, the rumor mill is speculating that one of the phones in the new series could be Honor Play 3i phone. The series could also include a successor for the Kirin 970 Honor Play gaming-centric smartphone. However, there is no information available on the smartphone yet. Coming back to Honor Play 3i, it could be the ASK-AL00x / TL00x phone that was spotted with full specifications on TENAA.
The Honor ASK-AL00 / TL00 smartphone houses a 6.39-inch display with punch-hole design. It supports HD+ resolution of 720 x 1560 pixels. The handset is equipped with a 4,000mAh battery. The 3C listing of the phone has revealed that it will carry support for 10W charging. It is powered by 2.2 GHz octa-core processor which is believed to be the Kirin 710 chipset. The handset may release in 4 GB and 6 GB RAM editions and storage options like 64 GB and 128 GB.
The rear shell of the phone has 48-megapixel + 8-mgeapixel + 2-megapixel triple camera system. It may feature a front-facing camera of 8-megapixel. There is no fingerprint scanner on the device. It runs on Android 9 Pie OS.
Honor ASK-AL00x
Honor has another unreleased smartphone with model number KSA-AL10 waiting in pipeline to go official. It has a 5.71-inch display with waterdrop notch that carries support for HD+ resolution of 720 x 1520 pixels. It houses a minimum capacity battery of 2,920mAh. The smartphone is powered by 2.0 GHz octa-core processor.
The smartphone may release in RAM choices of 2 GB and 3 GB and storage models like 32 GB and 64 GB. It may sport a 13-megapixel rear camera and a frontal shooter of 5-megapixel. It also lacks a fingerprint sensor and is loaded with Android 9 Pie OS.
The Honor 20S that will be unleashed today will be a new variant of the Honor 20 flagship phone that features a quad camera system. The major difference on the Honor 20S is that it is equipped with triple rear cameras.
ZTE-backed Nubia launched the Red Magic 3 gaming smartphone in May this year and now the company is all set to launch another gaming smartphone, dubbed Red Magic 3S. Ahead of the phone’s launch tomorrow in China, the company has been teasing the upcoming smartphone’s features.
In the latest development, the company has confirmed that the Red Magic 3S will come with support for Air Cooling feature as well as Liquid Cooling. This Dual Cooling Technology will ensure that the phone doesn’t heat up even after prolonged gaming.
Recently, the company had revealed that the phone will come with support for 3D surround sound and prior to that, Nubia confirmed that the smartphone will feature a display with 90Hz refresh rate and will also offer 4D Vibration feedback for an enhanced gaming experience.
Soon after the launch of Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 Plus octa-core flagship chipset, Nubia had announced that it will soon launch a smartphone powered by the same. Thus, the Red Magic 3S is expected to come packed with SD855+ SoC for the increased performance with this new gaming-centric processor.
The Snapdragon 855 Plus octa-core chipset upgrades the CPU and offers a clock speed of up to 2.96GHz compared to 2.84GHz on the standard SD855. Further, the graphics performance on this new chipset has also been increased by 15 percent.
The smartphone is expected to pack a large-capacity battery, possibly retain the 5,000mAh capacity battery of the Red Magic 3. As for the design, we expect the company to have an air cooling system and given that the phone is an offshoot of the Red Magic 3, the device is expected to continue with the heat dissipation design.
The Nubia Red Magic 3 features the industry’s first cooling fan inside which doesn’t use any physical bearings and is made out of nanomaterials. The company says that the fan runs at 14K RPM and consumes very little power. It is also supported by a liquid-cooled copper tube to keep the temperature inside cooler.
We’ll have to wait for a few more hours to know for sure what the company is offering with this Red Magic 3S gaming smartphone, as well as its pricing and availability details. The launch event for the phone is set for 5th September, i.e. tomorrow in China and we’ll be covering it. So stay tuned for all the information from the launch event.
Huawei has recently confirmed that it will be launching the Mate 30 series of flagship phones on Sept. 19 in Munich, Germany. PriceBaba has teamed up with reputed tipster OnLeaks to share renders of the upcoming Huawei Mate 30 Pro smartphone. It has also shared the key specs of the smartphone.
Huawei Mate 30 Pro Renders
The Huawei Mate 30 Pro renders show that it will be boasting a premium design as it features a glass rear like the predecessor Mate 20 Pro smartphone from last year. The rear panel has a new circular housing for the quad cameras that are arranged in 2 x 2 grid. The left corner of the rear shell has the unit for the dual LED flash, a sensor and Leica brand name.
The Mate 20 Pro measures around 158.1 x 73.6 x 8.7mm and the thickness of the device increases to nearly 9.7mm at the camera bump. The front panel of the phone features a display with reduced notch. Since the curved edges of the screen appears to flow over the sides, it is dubbed as ‘waterfall’ display. The tipster has claimed that the exact size of the screen could not be measured because of the curved edges. However, it is speculated that it could be sporting a 6.6-inch display. The reduced notch could be equipped with as many as three front-facing cameras and some other sensors. The publication did not confirm whether the phone supports 3D face unlock. Also, there is no confirmation on whether it is equipped with an in-screen fingerprint scanner.

Huawei-Mate-30-Pro
There are no volume buttons on the device and the power key can be seen on the right edge. There could be a touch-sensitive area above the power button for controlling the volume. The bottom edge of the phone is equipped with a SIM tray, a USB-C port and an external speaker. An IR blaster and microphone can be found on the topside of the device.
Rumors surrounding the Mate 30 Pro has reveled that it will be fueled by Kirin 990 chipset that includes a 5G modem. The new SoC is expected to go official at the IFA 2019 tech trade show on Sept. 6. The camera setup of the Mate 30 Pro could include a pair of 40-megapixel lenses, an 8-megapixel lens and a 3D ToF sensor. It could be housing a 4,500mAh battery that carries support for 55W rapid charging and 25W fast charging. The phone will be running on Android, but it may not feature Google apps because of the ongoing trade ban imposed by US.
OnLeaks has claimed that since the above renders are based on a tricky CAD, it may not be completely accurate.
Earlier this month, Xiaomi-backed Redmi launched two new smartphones in its home country — Redmi Note 8 and Note 8 Pro. As the name suggests, the phones are the successor of the Redmi Note 7 and Note 7 Pro launched earlier this year.
Lu Weibing, General Manager of the newly formed Redmi brand, has announced that the company’s latest smartphone — Redmi Note 8 Pro sold more than 300,000 units on its first day of sale in China.
The smartphone comes in three variants — 6GB RAM + 64GB storage, 6GB RAM + 128GB storage, and 8GB RAM + 128GB storage, costing 1,399 Yuan (~$195), 1,599 Yuan (~$223), and 1,799 Yuan (~$251) respectively. The phone is offered in three color options — Ice Jade, Fritillaria White, and Electro-optic Ash.
Coming to the specifications, the Redmi Note 8 Pro comes with an IP52 splash resistant body and is equipped with a 6.53-inch IPS LCD display with waterdrop notch. It supports Full HD+ screen resolution of 1080 x 2340 pixels. The TUV Rheinland certification for the display ensures that it filters the harmful blue rays.
There’s a MediaTek Helio G90T processor which fuels the Redmi Note 8 Pro smartphone. It is packed with 6GB and 8GB of RAM, depending on the variant you choose and comes in two storage options — 64GB and 128GB. There’s also a dedicated microSD card slot that enables you to further expand the storage capacity on the device.
The upper half of the rear shell of the Redmi Note 8 Pro has a vertically-aligned camera sensors, which includes three lenses and a fourth sensor with LED flash placed alongside it. The quad camera setup includes an f/1.7 aperture 64-megapixel ISOCELL Bright GW1 as primary lens, an ultrawide lens of 8-megapixel, a 2-megapixel macro lens with 2cm focal length and a depth sensor of 2-megapixel.
The mains lens that has a large pixel size of 1.6micron can capture high resolution images of 9248 x 6936 pixels and the phone is capable of shooting 960fps slow motion videos. There’s also a 20-megapixel front-facing camera for taking selfies, housed inside the notch on top of the display.
The device comes with liquid cooling technology which can be found in popular gaming smartphones. Also, the Note 8 Pro is smart enough to switch between Wi-Fi and 4G networks depending on the strength of the signal.
It runs Android 9 Pie operating system with MIUI 10 skin and for enhanced gaming experience, the smartphone is equipped with Game Turbo 2.0 and HyperEngine by MediaTek. The Redmi Note 8 Pro is backed by a 4,500mAh battery that carries support for 18W rapid charging.
Samsung Electronics has launched its first mobile processor that comes with integrated 5G connectivity — Samsung Exynos 980. The AI-powered Exynos 980 SoC is manufactured using an 8nm process and comes with eight CPU cores — two Cortex-A77 and six Cortex-A55, coupled with Mali G76 graphics processor.
The chipset combines a 5G modem and mobile application processor into one chip. This increases power efficiency and takes up less space within smartphones compared to older generation SoCs. The new SoC can support data transfer rates of 2.55Gbps in 5G connectivity for sub-6GHz spectrum and 1.0Gbps for 4G, allowing a rate of 3.55Gbps at dual connectivity, claims Samsung.
The company says that the neural processing unit (NPU) features elevated performances of up to 2.7 times compared to its predecessor and is built into the Exynos 980 to provide new levels of on-device intelligence.
The NPU also adds enhancements to applications such as secure user authentication, content filtering, mixed reality, intelligent camera, and more. Further, it packs high-performance image signal processor that can process up to 108-megapixel images, and can be synced up to five image sensors and run three of them simultaneously.
Exynos 980’s multi-format codec (MFC) supports encoding and decoding of 4K UHD video at 120 frames per second (fps) for an immersive multimedia experience. It also comes with HDR10+ support along with dynamic mapping.
It seems that this newly announced Exynos 980 SoC is the same which was in the news as Exynos 9630 with integrated 5G support. If that’s the case, this chipset could also end up powering smartphones from brands other than Samsung. The company says that it has already supplied samples of the new chip to a client and will begin production of the 5G-integrated chip later this year.
OnePlus is expected to launch the OnePlus TV on Sept. 26. On the same date, the Chinese manufacturer may also announce OnePlus 7T and OnePlus 7T Pro handset. Some renders and specifications of the upcoming OnePlus phones have already leaked in the recent weeks. Now, a Geekbench listing that reportedly belongs to the OnePlus 7T has been spotted by a Chinese tipster. As usual, it has revealed some of the key specs of the phone.
According to the tipster, the following Geekbench listing belongs to the Chinese edition of the OnePlus 7T. However, the listing has no direct mentioning about the OnePlus brand or OnePlus 7T name. The ‘msmnile’ SoC that has a base frequency of 1.78 GHz powers the smartphone along with 8 GB of RAM. The smartphone is loaded with the latest Android 10. In the single-core test of Geekbench, the handset has scored 3983 and it has recorded 10,967 in the multi-core test. The tipster has claimed that the processor that is present under the hood of the device is the Snapdragon 855+ mobile platform.
Last week, reliable leakster Ishan Agarwal had shared the key specs of the OnePlus 7T smartphone. He had claimed that the phone will be housing 6.55-inch S-AMOLED display with smaller notch. The display is expected to carry support for 2K resolution and offer a refresh rate of 90Hz. He had also claimed that the SD855+ and 8 GB of RAM would be powering the phone.
The OnePlus 7T is expected to release in 128 GB and 256 GB storage models. It will be coming with a 3,800mAh battery with Warp Charge 30W fast charging. The small notch of the phone will be featuring a 16-megapixel selfie snapper and it will be sporting a 48-megapixel + 16-megapixel + 12-megapixel triple camera system on its rear. The handset will offer photography features like 960 fps slow-motion video shooting, wide angle video recording and nightscape mode.
OnePlus 7T renders by PriceBaba
He had stated that the OnePlus 7T Pro looks similar to the OnePlus 7 Pro that had gone official earlier this year. It means it could be sporting a notch-less display with curved edges and it will carry support for 2K resolution and 90 Hz refresh rate. It will be coming with a larger 4,080mAh battery with 30W Warp Charge support. It will be also powered by Snapdragon 855+. The OnePlus 7T and 7T Pro will be loaded with Android and these phones will come with new features like macro mode, HEVC and hybrid image stabilization. A McLaren-themed special edition handset is also expected to debut this year.

Samsung Galaxy Fold is yet to go on sale but the company may be planning to unveil its second foldable device early next year. There are indications that the luxury phone is one that folds down into a compact-sized square.
According to people familiar with the product’s development, the device comes with a 6.7-inch inner display that comes down to a pocketable square when it’s folded inward like a clamshell. The company is said to have got plans to make the device affordable. It is also expected to have a thinner build than this year’s Galaxy Fold. One key advantage that the 6.7-inch foldable phone for next year will have over the Fold is that its shape when open will be basically that of a smartphone: so it will run Android phone apps in their native state. The Galaxy Fold opens to a squarer aspect ratio and larger screen, and so it demands that apps be customized or adapted to best make use of its full dimensions.
Samsung is testing the use of Ultra-Thin Glass (UTG) for the inner display of its next foldable, which would measure in at only 3% the thickness of the glass conventionally used to protect smartphone displays. At the same time, the company will want to ensure the durability of its foldable devices and avoid any repeat of the Galaxy Fold debacle.
The foldable phone will also have a punch-hole design at the top of the inner display which will house the selfie camera. The source also hints that design is similar to that of the recently launched Galaxy Note 10. On the outside part, there will be a dual-camera setup which faces the rear when the phone is flipped open and faces the front when it is closed. The Korean tech giant is also said to be in collaboration with American designer Thom Browne for its upcoming foldable phone. This is in a bid to make its product appeal to a broader range of consumers including those more interested in fashion, status and luxury than a device’s tech specs.
One of the sources, however, hinted that the launch of the second foldable device may hinge on how well the Fold performs after its imminent launch.
Ahead of the official launch, Chinese media outlets have managed to snag a hands-on unit of the Honor 20S, and they’ve shared images of the device online. They gives us an excellently detailed look at the device’s design, as well as some of the features it’ll come with. So, without further ado, let’s take a closer look at the upcoming Honor 20S.
First off, perhaps one of the more interesting things regarding the device is the side-mounted fingerprint scanner. We’ve seen similar implementations before like with the Meizu M6S and with the Honor 20 Pro as well. The same design continues with the new 20S too. Next thing we get a real close look at is the hole punch camera that’s offset to the left unlike the Galaxy Note 10.
On the top of the phone, we can see that the device features an IR blaster, which is pretty nice considering how some devices are dropping it altogether. There’s a slight chin, but otherwise it’s completely bezeless. Outside of that, the pictures don’t really reveal anything we don’t already know, especially since we already know so much.
We know that it’s coming with a Kirin 810 SoC, and we also know feature details like the 10 different beauty modes it’ll have. Really, all we really need to know now is pricing, but I doubt we’ll hear anything about that. The device is launching later today, so we won’t need to wait long to find out more.
In order to be one of the best gaming phones out there, a gaming-centric device must offer amazing performances and, in order to achieve such a result, it needs a flagship-class hardware department. That is what the main gaming smartphones manufacturers opted for, including Nubia, before launching the Red Magic 3. But in the second half of 2019, Qualcomm decided to release a new chipset: the Snapdragon 855+, which is an upgraded version of the Snapdragon 855 and offers even better performance in both gaming and daily use.
Even though Nubia already released a gaming phone this year, it decided to adapt to the market in order to keep offering a gaming phone with the most powerful hardware department you can expect in 2019. That is why Nubia Red Magic 3S, that is the upgraded version of the Red Magic 3, is coming soon. A few hours before the launch, below you can find a rumor roundup with all the details we know about the upcoming Red Magic 3S which will officially debut on September 5.
Red Magic 3
A better chipset: Snapdragon 855+
The existence of the new Snapdragon 855+ SoC is undoubtedly the main reason because of Nubia decided to release a new gaming phone this year. So, the Red Magic 3S will be equipped with the best Qualcomm’s mobile platform. Compared to the Snapdragon 855, the new Snapdragon 855+ offers 15 percent more graphics performance and a higher clock frequency (2.96 GHz vs 2.84 GHz).
According to leaked benchmarks, the Snapdragon 855+ on the Nubia Red Magic 3S will be paired with 12 GB of RAM, UFS 3.0 internal storage and F2FS file system support, that is the best memory configuration you can expect in 2019 in terms of performance. And it is not a case that Nubia Red Magic 3S scored 510,496 on AnTuTu benchmark: one of the highest scores ever reached by a mobile phone. The phone was spotted on AnTuTu with the model number NX629J which leaves no doubts about its identity.
High refresh ratio became a trend not only for gamers but also for casual users as it offers a smoother user experience. A high refresh ratio is an even more important advantage for gamers as it makes the gameplay more reactive. That is why Nubia Red Magic 3S will feature a display with a 90 Hz refresh ratio. It is not the highest refresh ratio available on a phone, but that is still amazing for games. Further, the phone will boast 4D vibration feedback for a more immersive gaming experience. Thanks to 4D vibration, holding the phone will be even more similar to holding a gaming controller.
A new sound experience
Ahead of the launch, Nubia released a few teasers revealing some key specifications of the Red Magic 3S. Among these teasers, there is one confirming that the gaming phone will support 3D surround sound. Alongside the 4D vibration feedback, such technology will enhance the gaming experience even more by offering tridimensional audio. We obviously expect stereo speakers on board of the Nubia Red Magic 3S in order to take advantage of this feature in the best way.
The other specifications
Given that it will be an upgrade, we expect the Nubia Red Magic 3S to retain the rest of the specs of its predecessor. The vanilla Red Magic 3 boasts a wide 6.65-inch display and it has a gaming-centric design with an RGB LED strip on the rear side. It is the only gaming phone to feature an air cooling system with a real fan running at 14,000 rpm. It is also supported by a liquid-cooled copper tube to dissipate the heat even more.
The handset comes with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of internal storage. It is also the gaming phone with the biggest battery out there: 5000 mAh with the support to 18W fast charging (Quick Charge 4+ by Qualcomm). It has DTS audio, stereo speakers a 48 MP main camera with an f/1.7 aperture and a rear-mounted fingerprint reader. The front camera has a 16 MP resolution and an f/2.0 aperture, while the operating system installed is Android 9 Pie customized by Red Magic 2.0 UI.
Nubia Red Magic 3S Launch Date
Through an official poster, Nubia officially confirmed that Red Magic 3S will be announced on September 5 in China. The poster also suggests that the phone will have an air cooling system, and that is perfectly in line with its predecessor. Given that it will not carry a very high price tag, the Nubia Red Magic 3S will be the perfect rival of the recent Black Shark 2 Pro.
In case you never heard of it, it is Xiaomi’s upgrade of the Black Shark 2 and it is equipped with a Snapdragon 855+ SoC just like the upcoming Red Magic 3S. It recently hitten the shelves with a starting price tag of about €450, so we expect a similar price tag even for the upcoming Nubia’s flagship.
Google released the Android 10 stable update a few hours ago and while the Pixel phones are already receiving the update, they won’t be the only ones getting it today. Redmi is also rolling out the Android 10 stable update to the Redmi K20 Pro flagship.
Yes, the Redmi K20 Pro users are already receiving the Android 10 stable update in China (and also in India). The update is still based on MIUI 10 since MIUI 11 is yet to be announced but it is exciting news nonetheless. We are still surprised as Xiaomi just began recruiting testers for Android 10 only about a month ago.
The update is 2.4GB in size and is available for download manually from the links below:
With the Redmi K20 Pro out of the way, we expect the update to get announced for the Mi 9T Pro which is the international variant of the phone.
The official Redmi account says other models will receive the update soon. We also expect Xiaomi to release the stable update for the Mi MIX 3 5G and Mi 9 which were also part of the Android beta program.
It is official! Android 10 stable version is out and rolling out to devices.
#Android10 is here 🎉 and ready to help. Full of new and familiar features, Android is more inclusive, accessible and safer than ever. pic.twitter.com/uszOlbGm6P
Android 10 brings new features, key ones being a system-wide dark theme and a new swipe-based navigation. Below are 10 new features that Android 10 brings to your phone:
Live Caption
This is a pretty interesting feature. With Live Caption, videos including those you record yourself, podcasts, and audio messages get captioned when activated. And the best thing is that it doesn’t require Wi-Fi or data.
Smart Reply
With Android 9 Pie, you received suggested responses when you receive a message or mail. Android 10 takes it even further with Smart Reply. A message containing a location or address will now include suggestions to open related apps such as Maps for directions to the place.
Sound Amplifier
This is an app that boosts sounds, filter background noises and provides an overall better audio experience when you plug in your headphones to watch a video or listen to an audio file.
Gesture Navigation
Android 10 brings a new gesture navigation system that includes swipes and pulls. You now have to pull from the left to go back, swipe upwards to go home, and drag the bar to the left or right to switch between apps.
Dark Theme
Google finally listened and has now added a dark theme to Android. Google says it uses true black for the dark theme which should bring improvements to battery life and also reduce the strain on your eyes. Google Apps like Gmail, photos, and the calendar take on a dark theme when you switch.
New Emojis
Android 10 brings up to 65 new emojis including gender-inclusive ones for pre-existing emojis.
Privacy Controls
With Android 10, users now have more controls over their privacy. You can customize which app gets access to your location and when. You can choose what data is stored and for how long. You can also opt-out of personalized ads.
Faster Security Updates
With Android 10, security updates and fixes will be rolled out via Google Play (Play Store) and you will receive them just the way your apps receive new updates.
Usability Enhancements

Android Auto is also built-in now. All you have to do is plug in your phone and begin using Android Auto on your car’s display.
Another feature is Dynamic System Updates which allows developers to load a different system image on their device for testing without affecting the original system image.
Digital Wellbeing
You can now set timers for websites and not only apps. There is also a new feature called Focus Mode which allows you to minimize distractions and pause preselected apps. Digital Wellbeing also gets parental controls allowing you to set screen time limits, see device location, and manage what they see.
There are several more new features baked into Android 10 that we can’t cover here. Have you received the Android 10 update? Let us know what new features you like and those you have discovered that we didn’t mention.
Samsung‘s tribulations with its now-notorious Galaxy Fold haven’t been enough to deter the smart phone giant from pushing the device and idea further. After a long wait where Samsung claimed they were reworking the Galaxy Fold, it seems like the company is ready to reintroduce the device to the world.
Now, we expected to see a mention of the Galaxy Fold at IFA, but it seems Samsung already has a VIP pre-sale going on in South Korea. The VIP pre-sale consists of only 165 Galaxy Fold units which have been supplied to a dozen Samsung Digital Plaza stores in the country. VIP customers are reportedly able to choose their color combinations for the Galaxy Fold, and they’ll get a free Montblanc case to go with it.
VIP customers can pay the smartphone’s full price of 2,398,000 Won ($1975) and orders will apparently be fulfilled beginning September 11. Priority in terms of shipping will be given to VIPs according to their times of purchase. The report seems to mention that 10 Galaxy Fold units have already been pre-sold through at least one of Samsung’s Digital Plaza stores in just one day, which is fairly surprising considering the price.
For the rest of the non-VIP folk, the Samsung Galaxy Fold’s formal launch event will allegedly be taking place on September 6th in South Korea. Normal pre-orders in for South Korea will then begin on September 16th. We also expect it to make an appearance over at IFA Berlin. There’s even an online pre-registration form for registering interest for US and UK customers.
Redmi announced the Redmi K20 Series in India back in July. The lineup has been quite popular in the market because of its aggressive pricing and top-end specifications. At launch, the phone was available in just three colors: Carbon Black, Flame Red, and Pearl Blue. However, Redmi has decided to add one more color to the Redmi K20 series in India.
It takes no time for the in-display fingerprint sensor to unlock the #RedmiK20 series. Let's see if you can find the hidden message faster than that. Ready? Hint: Check the 🖊️
Earlier today, the company teased the new color option for the lineup on twitter. We can clearly see the words “The White Will Be Here Tomorrow, See You Then” etched on the pearl inside the image. Given that we recently saw Redmi release a Summer Honey White version for the Redmi K20 Pro in China, it’s clear that the same color is making its way to India tomorrow.
Redmi K20 Pro comes in Summer Honey White in China
Of course, expect the naming to be different when it lands in India. For example, the Astro white that was announced for the Redmi Note 7 Pro was called as the ‘Mirror Flower Water Moon’ when it was released in China back in July. It is also worth noting that the Summer Honey White is only available for the Pro version in China. So, it remains to be seen whether the non-Pro version gets this color in India.
In February this year, Xiaomi launched its own version of the Google Hub – the XiaoAI smart touchscreen speaker. The design was the usual minimalist one but the quality is topnotch. The XiaoAI speaker has clinched two different international awards as a result of its amazing design.
The speaker was one of the winning products for the 2019 German Red Dot Design award announced on July 30. Again, the XiaoAI Touchscreen speaker also won the 2019 US Industrial Design Excellence Award (IDEA) recently.
The XiaoAI touchscreen smart speaker is very much different from its predecessors in terms of the design as it comes with a touchscreen display. The device features a 4-inch display which has space for a custom digital clock. The display can also be used to select music and watch videos and a variety of apps can be installed on the device. it also comes with an alarm clock. The smart speaker will come with a large number of video resources as well as Tencent’s Q music library. The XiaoAI smart speaker can also be integrated with a host of smart home gadgets such as the smart cameras, smart doorbells and several others.
Unfortunately, Xiaomi is yet to integrate the English or any other language apart from Chinese into its smart assistant so this speaker is just useless to non-Chinese speakers. However, we believe the company has got plans to integrate other languages in the near future.
If you are one of those expecting Xiaomi to announce a Pro version of the Mi A3, you may be in for a disappointment. While earlier reports have said the Xiaomi CC9 may be sold outside China as the Mi A3 Pro just as its sibling the CC9e is sold as the Android One phone, the Mi A3, that may not happen.
We reported a few days ago that a phone called the Mi 9 Lite was found on Google’s list of certified Android devices. The list revealed the phone is related to the Mi CC9, one of the two phones developed by Xiaomi and Meitu. Now, more info has surfaced saying the Mi CC9 will indeed launch as the Mi 9 Lite outside China.
The source of the info is a tweet by Xiaomishka a few days ago. According to him, a colleague and a Polish retailer confirmed that the Mi CC9 will be sold as the Mi 9 Lite for the global market.
#Xiaomi#MiCC9#Mi9Lite Guys do you remember, that model M1904F3BG appeared in EEC database? Then we thought it would be a #mia3pro or Mi CC9 Global Version. Now my colleague and the Polish retailer confirmed that in the global market the Mi CC9 will be sold as Mi 9 Lite.
The Mi 9 Lite should be priced close to the Mi 9 SE. Although the Mi 9 SE has a slightly more powerful processor and better cameras (on paper), the Mi 9 Lite/Xiaomi CC9 offers a bigger display and a bigger battery capacity.

The negative ion neutralizes static electricity, smooth the hair, closes the scales so that the hair is as soft and shiny as the needed.
In terms of design, the surface of the MIJIA Negative Ion Portable Hair Dryer is designed with a warm matte finish, which is gentle and delicate, and foldable for easy storage. It is lightweight and portable.
