Two of the models, the A6 Note and Z6 Pro were scheduled to go on sale on September 11 while the K10 Note will hit store shelves on September 16. Indeed, both smartphones are now available to buy on Flipkart.
The A6 Pro comes with a price tag of INR7,999 ($110) and is available in 3GB+32GB memory configuration only. While the Z6 Pro hits India priced at INR33,999 ($475) and packing an 8GB RAM and 128GB storage.
Of course, the Lenovo Z6 Pro is on top of the pack with its flagship lineup. The device features a 6.39-inch S-AMOLED display with a waterdrop notch design. It is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 chipset and utilises an in-display fingerprint scanner. The Z6 Pro has a 4,000mAh battery with a 27W charger inside the box.

Xiaomi’s recently launched Redmi Note 8 Pro is different than its predecessors in one major department. The company decided to use a MediaTek processor instead of the tried and tested Qualcomm processor. This could be a considerable gamble for Xiaomi but MediaTek India MD, Anku Jain, believes that the phone will help change the perception of consumers about the chipmaker.
“Once the Redmi Note 8 Pro comes out, and users see the great features and performance it delivers I think the mindset will change and the phone will do well in India as well, similar to China,” said Anku Jain while talking to India Today Tech recently. He believes that the MediaTek Helio G90T gaming-centric processor inside the Redmi Note 8 Pro will change the whole game for Xiaomi as well as MediaTek.
On paper, the G90T is a significant upgrade as compared to the Snapdragon 675 found inside the best-selling Redmi Note 7 Pro. In fact, it’s a gaming-centric processor that’s comparable to Qualcomm’s own Snapdragon 730G gaming chipset. The chip comes with several premium features such as dual Wi-Fi + LTE connectivity and a powerful GPU. So it is definitely a massive upgrade as compared to the past Snapdragon processors inside the Redmi Note series models. For those who are interested, we have covered the MediaTek Helio G90T vs. Snapdragon 730G extensively in a previous post.
Interestingly, MediaTek’s collaboration with Xiaomi has been fruitful in the past. The budget Redmi 6A has been the best selling smartphone in India for the past three consecutive quarters. And the phone features a MediaTek Helio A22 processor inside.
But there’s a vast difference between the Redmi 6A and the Redmi Note 8 Pro. The latter is expected to be a powerhouse, and it needs to deliver on its promise of a powerful gaming experience.
Will it live up to the expectations of the users? Only time will tell. But for now, things look good. The Redmi Note 8 Pro has sold over 300,000 units in its first sale.
The Mi MIX 4 may actually launch under a different name based on a ruling that prevents Xiaomi from using the MIX name. A new trademark application filed a few weeks ago reveals what the name of the phone may be and surprisingly, it still has “MIX” in it.
A document has surfaced online and it reveals that at the end of August, Xiaomi applied for a trademark application for the name Xiaomi MIX ALPHA.
The MIX Alpha may as well be the official name of the upcoming MIX flagship instead of Mi MIX 4.
Actually, this is not the first time we have heard of the name. Xiaomishka tweeted earlier this month that Xiaomi found a way to keep using the MIX name and that is by adding greek alphabets to the name.
Although the trademark application spells out “Alpha”, Xiaomi may also stylize it as Mi MIXα. But that is not all the document reveals.
It also shows that Xiaomi filed a trademark application for “Xiaomi Watch COLOR” early this month. This should be the name of an upcoming smartwatch we have not heard of before and might be a surprise product that would launch on September 24. Xiaomi is actually quite good at keeping certain products a secret and the very first Mi MIX smartphone is a perfect example.
The Xiaomi Watch COLOR should be the first Mi branded smartwatch by the company and we believe it will be made by Huami who manufactures the Mi Band for Xiaomi.
What do you think about the name Mi MIX ALPHA, Yay or Nay? Do let us know in the comment box.
Popular smartwatch maker Huami has officially launched the Amazfit GTR smartwatch for the Indian market. The Amazfit GTR should be the fourth smartwatch Huami has launched this year after the Amazfit Verge 2, Verge Lite and the Amazfit Health Watch. The Amazfit GTR comes ina 42mm and 47mm variants but only the 47mm version has been made available in India.
The Amazfit GTR 47mm packs a 1.39-inch AMOLED screen with a resolution of 454 x 454 pixels. The screen is covered by the Corning Gorilla 3 with anti-fingerprint (AF) coating. In terms of functions, it supports mobile phone calls, text messages, emails, calendars, social applications and other information reminders, and can also find mobile phones and control mobile phones to play music. The watch also supports contactless payment as it is equipped with a built-in NFC chip. It can also be used to unlock the smart door lock and other contactless services such as bus card.
In terms of battery life, the Amazfit GTR 47mm daily use mode lasts for 24 days, the basic watch mode is 74 days, and the GPS continues to work for more than 22 hours. The watch comes with three material variants adorned with three high-grade metals: titanium, stainless steel and aluminium. The titanium variant just went on sale in China so we doubt if it will be available immediately in China.
As for the price, the Huami Amazfit GTR 47mm smartwatch is priced at Rs. 10,999 ($154), which is for the aluminium and stainless steel models. The price is slightly higher than the 999 yuan ($140) price in China, perhaps because of customs duties and other import costs. The smartwatch will be available from Flipkart and Myntra starting Thursday, September 12. It comes in an array of colour such as Cherry Blossom Pink, Moonlight White, Starry Black, and Tan am.
Traditional timepieces were primarily designed to show time and date, whereas newfangled smartwatches do a lot more than just display time and date – it helps you lead a healthier lifestyle.

On Sept. 16, Motorola will be launching the Moto E6 Plus budget-friendly phone in India. Fresh information that has surfaced today reveals that the company will be launching its first Smart TV at the same event. It is being said that the Motorola TV will be exclusively sold through Flipkart.

The Motorola TV is also said to be equipped with a 30W front-firing soundbar powered with DTS TruSurround Sound and Dolby Audio technology for immersive audio experience. The soundbar will have the logo of the company positioned at its center. The other three bezels of the Motorola TV are said to be thin. The other specs of the Smart TV are under the specs. However, what’s known so far suggests that it may not be a budget-friendly product.

Apple is the indisputable king of the smartwatch industry with its sales reaching almost 50% of the total amount. On Tuesday, they released their newest model, Apple Watch Series 5 that, if it wasn’t for an always-on display, it would be a minuscule update. However, the battery life still sucks as the company hints less than a day’s life on a single charge.
The always-on display is definitely a nice feature but most users would prefer longer battery life, NFC, and wireless charging anytime. Well, Kospet is getting ready to release such a watch, Kospet Prime, and judging from the photos leaked earlier, it will sport NFC as well as wireless charging.
But that’s not the only advantages. According to information, the battery will be the biggest ever on a smartwatch at 1260mAh and will allow for up to 3 days of use or 7 days of standby on a single charge. Also, there will be two 8MP cameras that will allow for shooting photos and making video calls without the need of your smartphone. And it will support Face Unlock too!
Lastly, rumors talk about a 1.6″ round AMOLED display, bigger than other Kospet products like the Kospet Optimus Pro and Kospet Hope. What’s more, like in most of the company’s watches, memory configuration will be 3GB/32GB. If information is true, then we can’t wait to get one and test it in person!

According to the latest information coming from Honor, the Honor 9X Pro smartphone is about to get an upgraded AI Ultra Clear Mode, which is basically an algorithm that comprises of Super Resolution Reconstruction and AI HDR.
The new feature improves the resolution by super-resolution SR algorithm and the dynamic range of the image is further improved by the AI HDR algorithm. As per the report, compared to the normal mode, the improvement with this new feature is about 10 percent to 20 percent.
The Super Resolution Reconstruction combines multiple low-resolution images, and the sub-pixel displacement information between each pixel in the photos to estimate the missing points of the high-resolution image. Simply, multiple images with lower resolution are generated and combined to make a new high resolution image.
On the other hand, the AI HDR refers to AI-powered High Dynamic Range that is reflected in the photo which details the highlight and dark areas in the image. The larger the dynamic range, the richer the level and the AI HDR enhances the image through a deep learning network to achieve local dynamic range adjustment. This makes the picture look more natural and vivid.

The sticker on the side reveals the Mate 30’s model number is TAS-AL00 and this version has 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage.

Much to the chagrin of those who prefer playing popular games on mobile devices, a feature-rich gaming smartphone doesn’t come cheap. A top-branded gaming phone would set you back a pretty penny on both online, as well as offline stores – but that’s about to change.
It looks like ASUS is bent on making a high-end gaming smartphone available to those on a tight budget. Keeping in line with that, the Taiwan-based handset maker has teamed up with Giztop to offer two variants of the ASUS ROG Phone 2 (or ASUS ROG 2 Gaming Phone) for lowered prices.

Amid the US-China trade war, Huawei has been targeted by the United States to have an upper hand in the deal-making process. The trade war, which has been on-going since the past few months, has not seen any major progress in terms of reaching a deal.
Now, a top executive of the Huawei Technologies Co. has said that in order to reach a deal in the US-China trade war, the United States will need to hold talks with Huawei. The company’s Chief Security Officer Andy Purdy said, “Can I imagine a trade deal where the U.S. government doesn’t agree to talk to us? No I can’t.”
He also said that the crackdown from the US government is hurting American companies and workers more than it hurts Huawei. He added that the company spent $11 billion on U.S. supplies last year and an estimated 40,000 U.S. jobs depend on its business.
Purdy further said that Huawei wants “transparent mechanisms” for evaluating its equipment and that of its competitors, which would build “trust through verification.” He added, “We’re not asking we should simply be allowed to sell without any scrutiny. We believe there has to be scrutiny for everyone.”
The Trump administration has put Huawei on the “Entity List” through an executive order which barred the Chinese giant from using any of American companies hardware and softwares, among others. It essentially cut-off Huawei from having access to vital supplies such as chipsets from Qualcomm and Android mobile OS from Google.
Along with banning Huawei in its country, United States is also urging other countries and companies to reject Huawei technology in the next generation of wireless networks, citing national security risk without providing any proof for the allegations. Huawei, on the other hand, has denied any wrongdoing and has even accused the United States of singling it out for political reasons.
