We already know a lot about the Redmi Note 8 Pro. In fact, our rumor roundup covers most of its specifications. The Redmi Note 8 Pro will come with the gaming-focused MediaTek G90T processor along with a large 4500mAh battery and 64MP quad-camera setup at the back. On the other hand, its smaller sibling, the Redmi Note 8 will feature Snapdragon 665 with a 48MP triple camera setup. The official pricing is the only thing unknown to us right now.
According to previous leaks, the Redmi Note 8 Pro will be priced higher than its predecessor. It is rumored that the 6 GB RAM + 128 GB storage and 8 GB RAM + 128 GB storage editions of the Redmi Note 8 Pro are respectively priced at 1,799 Yuan (~$251) and 2,099 Yuan (~$293). However, we don’t have an official word on its pricing yet.
Realme is expected to launch its first 64MP main camera-totting Realme XT in China on September 4. Ahead of the unveiling, more details of the device keep emerging. A couple of live pictures of the Realme XT has leaked online giving us a clearer view of the front and rear view of the device.
The Realme XT comes with a waterdrop notch at the top of the display which houses the selfie camera. The device is said to pack a 16MP camera up there for selfies. Another impressive thing about the display is the high screen-to-body ratio.
At the top-left corner of the rear aspect of the device is a quad-camera setup stacked in a vertical arrangement. The first sensor is the main 64MP Samsung GW1 primary lens with a yellow ring around the lens. The other sensors comprise an 8MP ultrawide lens, a 2MP dedicated macro lens and a 2MP depth sensor. Apart from the Realme logo, there is no other thing on the rear panel which means the device will likely have an in-display fingerprint sensor.
One of the leaked pictures is that of the “About phone” page of the phone showing the specifications. As you may know already, the Realme XT will be powered by a Snapdragon 712 chipset and will run on Color OS 6 based on Android Pie. The device also comes with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage but there may be other versions.

Update: Amazfit Sports Watch 3 Star Wars Limited Edition added.
Huami said it was going to launch more than 10 smartwatches this year and it sure is ready to keep that promise. It already announced the Amazfit Bip Lite, the Amazfit Verge Lite, the Amazfit GTR, the Amazfit Verge 2, and the Amazfit Health Watch. Today, it has taken the wraps off the Amazfit GTS, the Amazfit Sports Watch 3, and the Amazfit X which is a concept watch with a flexible display.
Amazfit GTS
The Amazfit GTS can be termed the true successor to the Amazfit Bip. It does give off some serious Apple Watch vibes but costs significantly less than Apple’s latest offering, which isn’t surprising since the GTS comes with fewer features.
The Amazfit GTS is gorgeous with its minimalist look. With a price tag that roughly converts to $125, you get a 1.65-inch Super Retina-grade AMOLED screen (348 x 442) with a 341ppi, covered with 2.5D Corning Gorilla Glass 3 curved tempered glass, and embedded in a steel frame. Huami says it settled for a rectangular dial as it can fit more information than a circular dial with the same screen size. There are up to 100 different watch faces to choose from; forty will be available out of the box with more to follow later. The watch uses a 20mm quick release silicone strap.
The watch can track a total of 12 main sports including cycling, running (indoor, treadmill), swimming, hiking, skiing, and weightlifting. It has support for GPS+GLONASS. The Amazfit GTS also has a BioTracker PPG optical heart rate sensor 24-hour heart rate monitoring. Huami says an OTA update in November 2019 will bring arrhythmia screening.
The watch connects via Bluetooth 5.0. It also has NFC with support for subways and bus stations in 255 cities in China. There is a 220mAh battery that will last up to 14 days for regular usage (notifications, NFC, heart rate monitoring, sleep monitoring, running 3 times a week with GPS on for 30 minutes for each exercise). In basic watch mode (Bluetooth, heart rate monitoring and other functions turned off) it will last up to 46 days on a single charge. For a continuous workout with GPS turned on permanently, it will last 25 hours. The watch takes 2 hours to charge. It is waterproof up to 50 meters so it is suitable for swimming, showering, snorkeling, and will survive in the rain. However, it won’t survive deep water swimming, scuba diving, and high-speed water sports.
The Amazfit GTS comes in six different colors. There is pink, blue, meteorite black, beige, and red. The watch has a price tag of ¥899 and is already available for pre-order on Tmall, it will go on sale on September 24. Unfortunately, only the Meteorite Black variant is available.
Amazfit Sports Watch 3
Amazfit Sports Watch 3
The Amazfit Sports Watch 3 (should launch globally as the Amazfit Stratos 3) has the name says is for sports enthusiasts and professional athletes. The Sports Watch 3 comes in two versions – a Standard Edition and an Elite Edition.
The watch rocks a 1.34-inch JDI Full-Moon™ reflective low-power color display. The display is said to be specially designed for outdoor use and Huami says the stronger the light, the clearer the display. The standard edition is covered with Corning Gorilla Glass 3, has a stainless steel bezel and uses quick-release silicone straps while the Elite Edition is covered with AF+AR coated sapphire glass, has a titanium bezel, and uses quick-release fluoro-rubber straps. There are four buttons on both versions of the watch.
The Amazfit Sports Watch 3 has dual processors and dual operating systems. One chip and operating system for the professional sports mode (sport mode) and another chip and operating system for regular smartwatch mode (ultra mode). Huami says there is a small amount of waiting time when switching between operating systems and that features of the ultra mode will get better with future updates.
The Sports Watch 3 has 512MB of LPDDR3 RAM and 4GB of eMMC storage though only 1.9GB is available out of the box. A built-in music player is also available so you can store songs on it and play via Bluetooth earbuds/headphones. The watch can track a total of 19 different sports mode. It also has FIRSTBEAT support which is the preferred heartbeat analysis by sports professionals. It also supports VO2 max measurement and has a BioTracker PPG heart rate sensor with 24-hour monitoring.
The Amazfit Sports Watch 3 has a 300mAh battery and takes 2 hours to charge. In Smart Mode, the watch will last 7 days on a single charge while in ultra mode it will last 14 days. GPS mode will last up to 35 hours with high accuracy, 45 hours with moderate accuracy, and 70 hours when in power-saving GPS mode. Users will be able to choose from three navigation combinations – GPS + Beidou, GPS + GLONASS, or GPS + Galileo. There is also NFC with support for AliPay (offline too) and bus and subway payments (12 cards, 255 cities).
The Amazfit Sports Watch 3 is also available for pre-order on Tmall for ¥1299 (~$181). The Elite Edition is not yet available for pre-order but will sell for ¥1699 (~$237).
Update: Huami also announced the Amazfit Sports Watch 3 Star Wars Limited Editon. This comes with a custom strap with one of Master Yoda’s quotes “Train You Must” inscribed on one side while the short strap says “Vader Is My Motivator”. It also has a custom dial, customized bezel, and comes in a special box with souvenirs. We have no info on the price and availability.
Huami Technology today held its scheduled press conference where three products were unveiled. The Amazfit GTS, Amazfit Sports Watch 3 and the Amazfit X Concept Watch. The Amazfit GTS and Sports Watch 3 are like the regular smartwatches you see in the market but the Amazfit X Concept Watch is a “watch from the future” and will be available in the first half of 2020.
The Amazfit X looks similar to the Nubia Alpha wearable smartphone that was launched in April this year but this isn’t a smartphone that can be worn on the wrist but this is wholely a smartwatch. The Amazfit X utilises an all-metal integrated design with hidden electronic buttons that replace the raised traditional buttons. The watch features a proprietary 2.07-inch flexible curved screen. The display has a super-arc curvature of 92° and this was achieved by heating the metal body through an ultra-high temperature of 700°C with a 6-bend bending process.
The watch is shaped like a new moon and has a larger display area of up to 244% compared to the display area of wearable devices with similar size. The screen also has 326ppi, 100% NTSC high color saturation and up to 430nits screen brightness.
The watch uses a 220mAh curved lithium battery which is said to have support for up to 7 days battery life. Since the motherboard can’t be curved, the Amazfit X uses a 3-segment motherboard in order to adapt to the curvature.
Huami says the watch is expected to start shipping in 2020.
According to the latest reports, China-based technology giant Huawei is currently in talks with Russia for installing a Russian operating system named Aurora 360,000 of its tablets. The devices will be used to conduct Russia’s population census next year.
The source, which was cited in the report, has said that this is a pilot project and Huawei installing the Russian operating system on its tablets is being seen as the first stage. Huawei also confirmed that it is in talks with the Russian Ministry of Communication, but the spokeswoman has not revealed more details.
The report adds that Russia is discussing the use of Aurora OS on 360,000 Huawei tablets by August 2020. It also adds that the owner of Aurora, Russia’s state telecommunications operator, Rostelecom, is the sole contractor for buying tablets to hold the population census in Russia, which has a population of 147 million, next October.
In a statement to Reuters, Rostelecom said: “Various options for collaboration with Huawei are currently being considered with participation of the Ministry of Communications… We don’t disclose details yet, there is an agreement on confidentiality.”
The development comes at a time when Huawei is reportedly seeking an alternative to Google’s Android operating system for its devices. This happened after the United States put Huawei on the “Entity List”, banning the company from doing business with the US-based firms and technology.
However, the Chinese giant has recently been granted another 90-day reprieve from the ban, allowing it to use Android among many other products. While the company has said that it is planning to use Google’s Android as long as it can, but they are getting ready in case the US goes ahead with enforcing the ban.
During the Huawei Developers Conference 2019 earlier this month, Huawei launched its much-awaited operating system named HarmonyOS for the global markets and HongMeng OS in China. The OS works with a wide range of devices, including smart home products, smartwatches, smart TVs, and smartphones, among others. The first HarmonyOS-powered product, Honor Vision TV, has already been launched in China.
Samsung had quietly unveiled the Galaxy A10s earlier this month, but it did not confirm on it pricing and availability. As the name suggests, the smartphone is an improved version of the Galaxy A10. The South Korean technology giants officially unveiled the A10s in India today, revealing the specifications and pricing details. The A10s features quite a few upgrades over the Galaxy A10, which Samsung revealed earlier this year. The improvements are in terms of camera quality and the inclusion of a bigger battery.
Samsung Galaxy A10s Specifications and Features
The Samsung Galaxy A10s flaunts a 6.2-inch HD+ Infinity V-display with a resolution of 1520 x 720 pixels. The smartphone is powered by a 2.0GHz Exynos 7884 SoC with 2GB and 3GB of RAM. The smartphone features 32GB of native storage, which is expandable up to 512GB with a microSD card.
The smartphone uses a dual camera setup at the rear. The primary sensor is a 13-megapixel unit with an aperture rating of f/1.8. It is paired with a 2-megapixel secondary lens with an aperture rating of f/2.4. The rear camera unit gets an LED flash module. The front camera is an 8-megapixel unit with an aperture rating of f/2.0, and is located within the waterdrop notch.
The Galaxy A10s draws power from a 4,000 mAh battery and runs on the Android 9.0 Pie-based One UI. Security measures include face unlock and a rear panel-mounted fingerprint scanner. Connectivity options include dual-SIM 4G VoLTE, Bluetooth 5.0 and Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n. The smartphone features a 3.5mm AUX port. The device measures 156.9 x 75.8 x 7.8mm and weighs 168gms.

Recently, there are so many TWS earphones at the market. It is not easy to pick a good but budget earphones. Astrotec is one of the most famous earphone manufactures in China, and I got their latest product called astrotec Redspace S80 Earphones several days ago. Let’s check it out.
Unboxing:
The astrotec S80 Earphones ship with a charging case, a storage bag, eartips of different size, Type-C charging cable and manual.
Design:
Astrotec Redspace S80 Earbuds have a simple design without physical buttons. The solid support of the earphones is a little bigger than Xiaomi Redmi AirDots. As the earbuds are made of plastic, they are light, so my ear canal doesn’t feel pressure from eartips. Because of my small ears, I can feel the big solid supports obviously touching outer area of ears, which makes me feel a little uncomfortable. However, thanks to the big solid supports, the earbuds can firmly stay in my ears, even I shake my head. So I will swallow the big solid support.
The charging case of astrotec S80 earphones comes with a fabric box and aluminum lid. I do like the touch feeling of the fabric box. In terms of sealing, this charging case is better than the others, because the lid is a bit difficult to open. With an oval shape, it has a medium size that is easy to take it out.
The astrotec S80 earbuds come with virtual key, which is easy to operate. Like most of the TWS earphones, the S80 supports phone call mode, music mode and voice assistant wake-up. In terms of phone call mode, Quick touch 2 times means reject or hang up phone calls, one touch means answer phone call. In the music mode, touch the right/left earbud for 2s to skip track forward/backward when playing. Touch the right/left earbud 2 times to plus/minus volume. Just touch the earbud 3 times can arouse the voice assistant.
Running on Bluetooth 5.0, the S80 TWS Earphones has solid wireless connection in a range of around 30 feet.
Performance:
To check the performance of astrotec S80, we played a lot of songs with lyrics as well as complex music. It’s punchy in the low end, but is not enough to frighten my ears. The S80 doesn’t have the much powerful thumping effect. I think it is good, because the bass is not my priority.
If you like to listen to lyrical songs, you may like the astrotec S80 TWS Earphones. Vocals are clear, which deliver more details. However, it also has the same problem on the other budget earphones. In the high end, it has a minimum amount of distortion although the highs are pretty crisp. But for this price, I think it’s okay.
In terms of voice calling, the voice has a bit of distortion, and it is not as clear as using the phone speaker.
Battery:
The battery life of astrotec S80 Earbuds is about 5 hours, which can be used for about 25 hours with the charging case.
Conclusion:
The astrotec S80 TWS Earphones have a simple design and a beautiful charging case. The most important is that the S80 has a great sound quality. Although the quality of calling voice is not so good, the overall performance is great.
The S80 is priced at $99.99 at Hifigo now. If you are going to get earphones, astrotec S80 is a great option.

Xiaomi’s sub-brand Redmi is holding a launch event in China on 29th August where the company is all set to launch the Redmi Note 8 series smartphones as well as its all-new 70-inch Redmi TV.
The company had recently revealed the Redmi Note 8 Pro World of Warcraft 15th Anniversary Limited Edition smartphone and today, Redmi has shared a small teaser video of the same, which is set to launch on 29th August.
These limited-edition models will be a result of the partnership between Redmi and World of Warcraft to celebrate the popular game’s 15th anniversary. The phone will come in two versions. One has a Red and Black box while the other has a Blue and White box.
The contents of this limited gift box edition Redmi Note 8 Pro are currently unknown. We presume there may be a custom theme as well as World of Warcraft wallpapers pre-loaded with the device. The company could also include a custom case for the phone.
World of Warcraft was first released in 2004 by Blizzard Entertainment. It is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) and was the most popular MMORPG in 2009. As of 2017, the game had grossed over $9 billion in revenue.
The company has confirmed that the Redmi Note 8 Pro will come powered by the MediaTek Helio G90T chipset, which is focused on gaming users. Redmi has already confirmed that the smartphone will come with liquid-cooling technology to ensure that the phone’s thermal remains under control, even after prolonged heavy usage.
The 12nm Helio G90T includes two Cortex-A76 cores working at 2.05 GHz and six Cortex-A55 cores working at 2GHz. It includes ARM Mali G76 graphics that clocks at 800MHz and it carries support 21:9 aspect ratio display, 90Hz refresh rate, HDR10 standard, up to 10 GB of LPDDR4X RAM and UFS 2.1 storage. The Helio G90 series of chipsets support HyperEngine for improved connectivity between a smartphone and a cellular network.
There is Dual Wi-Fi connection support that allows the phone to connect to two Wi-Fi networks at the same time. Its other features include Call and Data Concurrency, Resource Management Engine and a Picture Quality Engine.
The camera sensors will be placed vertically with three camera sensors followed by a fingerprint reader. Alongside, there’s an LED flash and the fourth camera sensor. Redmi has already shared a few camera samples. The phone will be equipped with features like NFC and IR Blaster and the battery will support 18W fast charging.
The Redmi Note 8 Pro smartphone is confirmed to feature quad cameras at the back with a 64MP primary camera. The company has also shared a few camera samples of the same, which looks really impressive and could be a gamechanger in its segment.
Redmi will be holding a launch event in China on Aug. 29th to announce Redmi TV series and Redmi Note 8 series. Ahead of the launch, numerous details on the Redmi Note 8 and Redmi Note 8 Pro smartphones have surfaced so far. A tipster has shared a screenshot of a leaked document that contains the pricing of Redmi Note 8 and Redmi Note 8 Pro smartphones.
Redmi Note and Note 8 Pro Pricing Leak
According to the leak, the 4 GB RAM + 64 GB storage edition of the Redmi Note 8 is priced at 1,199 Yuan. The leak does not contain information on the pricing of the other rumored variants of the Note 8.
It has further stated that 6 GB RAM + 128 GB storage and 8 GB RAM + 128 GB storage editions of the Redmi Note 8 Pro are respectively priced at 1,799 Yuan and 2,099 Yuan. There is no confirmation on the authenticity of the price leak. Hence, it is advisable for readers to digest with a grain of salt.
Recently, reliable tipster Ishan Agarwal had revealed that the Note 8 will be coming to the Chinese market in three models such as 4 GB RAM + 64 GB storage, 6 GB RAM + 64 GB storage and 6 GB RAM + 128 GB storage. It is expected to arrive in colors like Meteorite Black, Fantasy Blue and White. The Redmi Note 8 Pro is also expected to release in three variants in China such as 6 GB RAM + 64 GB storage, 6 GB RAM + 128 GB storage and 8 GB RAM + 128 GB storage. It could be coming in colors such as Ice Jade, Fritillaria White and Electro-optic Ash.
Redmi Note 8 Series Specifications
The Redmi Note 8 and Note 8 Pro are both rumored to arrive with IPS LCD displays with waterdrop notch. The Snapdragon 665 chipset will be powering the Note 8 handset whereas the Pro model will be fueled by Helio G90T processor. The Redmi Note 8 will be featuring 48-megapixel quad camera setup. The Pro version will be sporting a 64-megapixel quad camera system. The Note 8 Pro will be backed by a 4,500mAh battery with support for 18W fast charging.

Tomorrow, OPPO will be announcing the Reno2 series of smartphone in India. The Reno2 lineup is also heading to China. It will be made official in the home market on Sept. 10. Ahead of the launch the OPPO Reno2 that has a model number of PCKM00 / PCKT00 has received approval from TENAA through which its entire specifications have been revealed. An OPPO phone with model number CPH1907 that is believed to be the international variant of the OPPO Reno2 has received approval from the Bluetooth SIG body through which some of its key specs have been revealed.
The OPPO CPH1907 Bluetooth listing reveals that it carries support Bluetooth 5.0 and dual-band Wi-Fi. The handset is loaded with the latest ColorOS 6.0.1. It has a 6.5-inch display that offers full HD+ resolution. The handset is fueled by Snapdragon SM7150 SoC which is the internal name of the Snapdragon 730G SoC. It also reveals that the phone is equipped with a selfie camera of 16-megapixel and it houses a quad camera setup that includes a 48-megapixel sensor, an 8-megapixel lens, a 13-megapixel sensor and a 2-megapixel lens. These specs match with the specs of the Reno2 that have appeared in the recent reports. Hence, it can be said that the CPH1907 could be the international version of the Reno2.
The Geekbench listing of the CPH1907 mentions a different processor for the phone. It reveals that the phone is fueled by Snapdragon 675 chipset and 8 GB of RAM. It appears that the benchmarking platform may have erroneously mentioned Snapdragon 730G as SM6150 or there could be a lower SD675 variant of the phone. In the single-core and multi-core tests of Geekbench, the CPH1907 has scored 2544 and 7033, respectively.
So far, it is known that the Reno2 will be flaunting a notch-less display like the original Reno smartphone. Also, it will retain the shark-fin shaped pop-up camera module. The display of the phone will be integrated with an in-screen fingerprint sensor. The SoC of the phone will be coupled with 8 GB of RAM and it may arrive in 128 GB and 256 GB storage versions. The handset may house a 4,000mAh battery that supports VOOC 3.0 fast charging. In India, it could be priced around Rs. 35,000 (~$487).

The smartphone comes with a 6.5-inch HD+ display with a screen resolution of 720 x 1600 pixels. The company claims that it features a 30 percent reduced notch and offers a screen-to-body ratio of 89 percent.
Under the hood, the device is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 octa-core processor, making it the first device in the Indian market to be powered by this chipset. It comes with up to 4GB of RAM and up to 128GB of internal storage. There’s also a dedicated microSD card which enables users to further expand the phone’s storage capacity.
As for the camera department, the phone comes with a quad-camera setup consisting of a 12-megapixel primary lens, an 8-megapixel ultrawide lens, a 2-megapixel portrait lens, and a 2-megapixel ultra-macro lens. On the front side, there’s a 13-megapixel snapper for taking selfies and video calling.

A couple of years back, if someone said that Vivo was going to lead innovation in the smartphone industry, most wouldn’t have believed. But its NEX series has truly been revolutionary so far. From the world’s first pop-up cameras to a dual-screen flagship, the NEX 1 (S) and the NEX 2 (NEX dual) have shown how technology can help redesign the smartphone.
Now, the Vivo NEX 3 is here to take things to another level and the company’s latest teaser video shows off the device in all its glory!
(Someone has already uploaded the official Vivo teaser from Weibo to YouTube. Check it out from above. Official teaser link is in the source)
Vivo NEX teaser vid confirms a design similar to the earlier sketches
The Vivo NEX 3 is as revolutionary as we had expected. It will be the first phone to feature a waterfall screen, which is nothing but a display that is curved at the edges. While that’s pretty cool, the phone has a lot more tricks up its sleeve.
First, the Vivo NEX 3 will retain a pop-up camera just like its first-generation model. What’s interesting is that the pop-up camera module looks quite wide, which probably means it will likely feature dual cameras.
Coming to the rear camera setup at the back, the Vivo NEX 3 is confirmed to feature a triple camera setup inside a circular shaped housing. It’s clear that circular housing for rear cameras is going to be a thing in the second half of the year. The NEX 3 should be joined by the likes of Huawei Mate 30 Pro and even the OnePlus 7T in sharing a similar design in the coming weeks.
Vivo NEX 3 features a headphone jack!
Finally, with all these features on board, you’d think that the NEX 3 is cramped for space from the inside. That’s usually the excuse we hear from all major smartphone makers when they remove the headphone jack. But even with an in-screen fingerprint, waterfall screen, and dual pop-up cameras, the NEX 3 will still retain the headphone jack. This is a major win for users who love their 3.5mm headphones, especially if the phone comes with a Hi-Fi audio chip. We also know for sure that the phone supports5G.
Looks like Vivo has given top YouTubers like Arun Maini (MrWhoseTheBoss) access to the NEX 3 to play around with the device before launch.
We know that the NEX 3 will launch in September, but we still don’t have an official date. It’s really good to see that the real design is very close to the sketches that were revealed a few weeks back. Vivo is indeed leading the race in terms of next-gen smartphone design.
