Chinese tech giant Xiaomi recently disclosed that it will be launching a new MI TV with improved features and remote control n April 23. Turns out the Mi TV model isn’t the only product Xiaomi is prepping for launch on that day.
A new poster is teasing the launch of a new Xiaomi product under the MIJIA smart home brand. The teaser poster is short on details of what the product could be but the poster was shared by the MIJIA Smart Weighing scale Weibo handle. This has left a lot of persons guessing that Xiaomi may have got a new smart weighing scale in the works.
Xiaomi presently has two weighing scales under the MIJIA brand. The MIJIA weigh scale priced at 99 yuan and 199 yuan Body Fat Scale. We don’t know the features this new product will bring but if it is a Body Fat scale, we expect to see some improvements over its predecessors.
The Zenfone Live L1 is an entry-level phone that was released last year. ASUS has now followed it up with the Zenfone Live L2. If you already own the Zenfone Live L1, then you should definitely skip this phone as ASUS hasn’t changed anything other than given the phone a new paint job.
The Zenfone Live L2 has a 5.5-inch HD+ IPS display with an 82.3% screen-to-body ratio. The display has 400 nits of brightness and supports glove touch. There are two variants – a Snapdragon 425 version with 16GB of storage and a Snapdragon 430 version with 32GB of storage. Both versions have 2GB of RAM.
There is a 13MP f/2.0 camera with PDAF and a 5P lens on the rear of the device and a 5MP f/2.4 selfie camera with Softlight LED flash. There are a bunch of camera modes including Night HDR, portrait, panorama, and time-lapse. The PixelMaster camera also has 8 different filters. There is also Face Unlock but no fingerprint scanner.
The Zenfone Live L2 even runs Android 8.1 Oreo with ZenUI 5 just as its older sibling does. The battery capacity has remained unchanged, so you get a 3000mAh battery that charges via MicroUSB. There is 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, and FM radio.
You also have a triple card tray for dual nano-SIMs and a MicroSD card (2TB max). Both SIM slots support LTE but only one SIM can be set LTE/3G, the other will be set to 2G. Supported LTE bands vary by region. The phone also has a 3.5mm audio jack.
The Huawei midrange family is actually so big that it is almost impossible to remember all the mid-rangers released by the Chinese company in the last year, especially in the Chinese market. The nth of them is the Honor 20i, which will soon hit the global market under the Honor 20 Lite moniker. And in the actual period, there is nothing more appropriate than comparing the new handset with the other recent mid-rangers from Huawei. Among the latest ones, there is the Huawei Nova 4e, recently launched globally as the Huawei P30 Lite, and the Huawei Enjoy 9s that is a slightly better variant of the P Smart+ 2019. We are talking about very similar devices, but they come with some important differences that you will discover in this specs comparison.

Design
The gradient glass back covers of these devices are simply amazing. They are both elegant and very attractive, so they surely deserve attention when it comes to aesthetics. My favorite one is Huawei Nova 4e, but for a reason, that has nothing to do with the look. The Nova 4e, also known as the P30 Lite in the global market, is a thinner device, it is more lightweight and it is also more compact. That is why it wins the design comparison.
Display
On the paper, Huawei Enjoy 9s seems to have a slightly better display thanks to the LTPS technology improving some key parameters. But we are only talking about marginal differences, so do not focus so much on this. All of these devices come with a waterdrop display and very narrow bezels, as well as a similar size. Huawei Nova 4e has a slightly smaller display than Honor 20i and Huawei Enjoy 9s, which makes it slightly more compact.
Specs & Software
You get exactly the same chipset in each case: a midrange-class Kirin 710 that offers more or less the same performances as the Snapdragon 660. The only thing changing is the memory configuration. Huawei Enjoy 9s comes with just 4 GB of RAM, so it loses the comparison. The winner is the Honor 20i as it is equipped with up to 6 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of internal storage, while the most powerful configuration of the Nova 4e is 6/128 GB. All of these phones are based on Android 9 Pie with EMUI 9 to customize it.
Camera
Overall, the best camera department belongs to the Huawei Nova 4e, at least on the paper. In each case, you get a triple camera setup with a main 24 MP sensor, an ultrawide lens, and a depth sensor, but on the Huawei Nova 4e, the stabilization seems better, even though it is not optical stabilization. But note that Honor 20i has an important advantage: it is the only that can record videos in 1080p at 60 fps. Huawei Enjoy 9s loses the comparison because of its below-average 8 MP selfie camera, while both the Honor 20i and Huawei Nova 4e come with 32 MP front cameras.
Battery
We did not establish a winner of the battery comparison because these devices feature similar battery capacities and also similar specs, so the battery life varies just slightly depending on the scenario. Huawei Nova 4e’s battery is slightly smaller, but the phone also comes with a faster charging technology thanks to a power of 18W.
Price
Despite they come with very similar specifications, these devices carry different price tags. Huawei Enjoy 9s starts from just €200/$224 and it is the most affordable one, Honor 20i has a starting price tag of €210/$235, and Huawei Nova 4e costs at least €270/$303 in its base variant. Due to its more compact body and its amazing cameras, Huawei Nova 4e is the winner of this comparison, but not for a big margin. That is why you would better go for the Honor 20i because of its way more affordable price.
Microsoft has launched a new Xbox model dubbed Xbox One S All-Digital Edition. This new edition is a trimmed down version of the Xbox One S and it comes with a $250 price tag which is $50 less than the Xbox One S’s retail price. The model will be available for purchase on May 7 but pre-orders are already being accepted.
The gaming console may be a fine one for those who loathe the optical drive and the heartbreak that accompanies a damaged disc drive or game software-containing compact disc. That is because it doesn’t have the drive to play physical discs or Blu-ray. However, the console still features all other Xbox One accessories and digitally acquired games and apps run smoothly onboard.
Talking about digital gaming software, the console is pre-installed with three popular Microsoft-owned game titles namely; Sea of Thieves, Forza Horizon 3 and Minecraft. It also comes with a special offer on Xbox Game Pass. The Game Pass is Xbox’s monthly subscription service that comes along with access to more than 100 games. The subscription costs just $10 monthly ($120 annually) and it gives you access to more than 100 games which you can download and play for the period that there is a subscription. Obviously, the Xbox One S All-Digital Edition is targeted at creating an online ecosystem, but access to the full online features will cost a little more. In that case, users will have to subscribe to Xbox Live Gold. The console comes with a 1-month membership, so you can enjoy the complete suite right out of the box. from the go.
One of the features the Realme 3 Pro will have is support for Fortnite right out of the box. Its closest competitor, the Redmi Note 7 Pro doesn’t support the popular mobile game and Realme is using that as a marketing strategy. However, that may change soon.
We wouldn’t be wrong to say Xiaomi/Redmi feels threatened by the Realme 3 Pro. See the tweet below from the head of Xiaomi India, Manu Kumar Jain.
Recently a brand has started talking about Qualcomm SD 710.
Here's the thruth: it's a one year old processor! We launched a phone with SD 710 (globally) in Q2 2018.
The brand he’s referring to is Realme and the Realme 3 Pro is the phone that will have the “one-year-old” Snapdragon 710 processor. To be fair, Realme started it first with the tweet below.
How about playing #Fortnite on #realme3Pro? I believe #realme3Pro will be the 1st in its segment that can directly support it. Tried to play this game on some latest "Pro" devices but none of them could manage. When it comes to speed, chipset matters. RT to win 1 Rm3pro. pic.twitter.com/j5SKOrXA2g
Anyway, Redmi Note 7 Pro users may soon be able to play Fortnite on their phones according to Mr. Jain.
The RN7 Pro doesn’t support it because the chipset powering it, the Snapdragon 675, isn’t available in the US yet. Epic Games is based in the US and since they have not been able to test and certify it, phones powered by it won’t support Fortnite.
The first units of the new Galaxy Fold were released by Samsung on Monday. Some of the units were handed out to a number of tech reviewers. This was received with lots of enthusiasm as reviews were already streaming out and it shows the device will soon be available to buy. Unfortunately, by Wednesday, the Galaxy Fold had a nightmarish experience in the hands of some of the reviewers. The display on some of the units got damaged and couldn’t be used anymore. Even though the number of reported cases were no more than five, the news soon spread like wildfire. The reasons are not difficult to decipher. For one, the Galaxy Fold was a first-generation technology, delivering on the foldable phone design we had so anticipated. Secondly, the device costs almost $2000! Who wants to spend that much on a device that can’t even last a week in the hands of users.
Samsung did not hesitate to respond to the issue. A statement released to The Verge by the Korean tech giant reads, “A limited number of early Galaxy Fold samples were provided to media for review. We have received a few reports regarding the main display on the samples provided. We will thoroughly inspect these units in person to determine the cause of the matter.
Separately, a few reviewers reported having removed the top layer of the display causing damage to the screen. The main display on the Galaxy Fold features a top protective layer, which is part of the display structure designed to protect the screen from unintended scratches. Removing the protective layer or adding adhesives to the main display may cause damage. We will ensure this information is clearly delivered to our customers”.
We expect some improvement to be made to the final products. BHowever, it remains unconvincing that the display can withstand the rigours of daily use. It looks just too fragile. Perhaps. in a couple of years time, the technology could see some improvements to increase the durability would be made.
The Amazfit Verge is a fitness smartwatch made by Huami, the brand behind Xiaomi‘s Mi Band series. The smartwatch which was first released last year in China is also sold in the US.
The watch has support for voice AI assistant – Xiaomi XiaoAI on the Chinese version. However, the US version has now gained support for Amazon’s Alexa voice assistant.
Owners of the Verge will be able to call up Alexa to ask it questions, get news briefings and weather updates, and set reminders just from their wrist. You can also link it with your calendar (Google, Apple. Microsoft) and ask it for your schedule. It also supports translation to several languages.
The feature was announced back in December when the phone launched in North America but has just been made available.
Huami also says the Amazfit Verge now supports calls on iOS (the US only). So if you have an iPhone and have been waiting for the feature, you should go right ahead and update the watch using the Amazfit Watch app. There is also a Find Watch feature for iOS and new watch faces.
Xiaomi has announced the PMA Graphene neck smart sleep aid pillow. The smart sleep aid features a classic grooved design, made of 40D memory cotton core, and a three-dimensional wrap that evenly releases neck pressure.
The pillow also features a graphene-heated area which gives a soothing effect. When the device is powered on, warm far-infrared light wave surrounds the neck, and the heat is applied slowly to relieve neck fatigue and release body pressure. There is also a built-in smart module that records the user’s sleep pattern, noting such parameters as the depth of sleep and duration, the number of breaths and the times the user changed sleeping position. At the same time, the smart alarm clock can be preset to wake you up within a specified time.
Furthermore, the sleep aid pillow uses a wireless Bluetooth connection. The Bluetooth module is integrated with the graphene film and the temperature control. This enables the device to be paired with a smartphone and as such, the temperature can be adjusted from the phone. The Bluetooth can be turned on with just a button. The Bluetooth module is integrated with the graphene film, and the temperature control and Bluetooth can be turned on with one button. The temperature can be adjusted according to individual needs.
Bone conduction allows you to hear sound through the vibration of the bones of your face (jawbones and cheekbones). This means that the sound waves are bypassing the outer and middle ear (where the eardrum is located) and directly stimulating the inner ear (hearing organ. Thus, there is no need for headphones while sleeping. The music sound level is also low, ensuring others are not disturbed.
The PMA Graphene neck smart sleep aid pillow is on crowdfunding for 299 yuan ($44) and is expected to start shipping on June 2.
The Redmi Y series will be getting a new member on April 24 and we are looking forward to it. The Redmi India Twitter account as released two new teasers for the upcoming phone which is expected to launch as the Redmi Y3.
The first is a 44-second video that reveals the Redmi Y3 will come with a 4,000mAh battery that lasts more than a day. The video also hints at a gradient color design for the phone as the font for the battery capacity has a gradient color.
The second teaser is an image that partially shows the device. The phone appears to be covered in glass which curves towards the frame and has a blue gradient color. This is a different color variant from the one on the Amazon India page which has a pink gradient finish. There is also a black variant as seen below.
The Redmi Y3 will have a 32MP selfie camera, a waterdrop notch, and dual rear cameras. It will also have a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner and be powered by a Snapdragon processor. The Amazon page also says it will be splash-proof.
It has become quite common for upcoming smartphones to pop up on benchmarking apps like AnTuTu, Geekbench, and Master Lu. And sometimes, it’s the company itself that reveals these scores before its launch. This time, it was Lenovo’s VP, Chang Cheng who decided to share the AnTutu score of the Lenovo Z6 Pro via his Weibo account. As expected, the phone manages to score pretty well in the benchmarking app.
In the image shared by Chang Cheng, the Lenovo Z6 Pro scores over 400,000 on AnTuTu. Flagships with Snapdragon 855 tend to score just under 400K, so this is quite a remarkable figure. However, we have often seen that official scores come out inflated than real-life figures. And considering Lenovo’s track record, expect a score that’s slightly lower than this in real life.
We already know a few specifications of the Lenovo Z6 Pro. The phone will feature a quad-camera setup at the back with Hyper Video technology. We have covered the phone’s renders and camera layout in detail here, so check that article out for more details. As for the phone’s specs, we know that it will come with Snapdragon 855 inside with one 2.39cm macro lens and a 48MP AI camera. The quad camera setup is capable of capturing 100MP photos. Also, Lenovo has confirmed its partnership its Legion gaming brand for this phone.
The Lenovo Z6 Pro launches on April 23, so stay tuned for more details.
Meanwhile, you can check out some of our recent Lenovo Z6 Pro coverage from below.
The Lenovo Z6 Pro is one of the flagships scheduled for release this month. It is also Lenovo‘s first flagship of the year. The phone will come with quad cameras and a feature called “Hyper Video” which Lenovo says will be one of the trends of the 5G era.
Over the past week, we have seen official images that show a part of the phone but today is the first time we are seeing a live photo (and official renders) of the device.
The Lenovo Z6 Pro as seen in the photo is covered in glass that is pretty reflective. There is a streak of red that runs from the top, passes through the cameras and down to the bottom.
The cameras are stacked vertically on the left and all have red rings around them. Three of the sensors are housed together and slightly raised while the fourth is separated. There is also an LED flash flanking the sensors on the right. If you look closely, you can make out the words “Hyper Video” and “48MP AI Quad Camera”.
There are two official renders too. One of them shows the phone has a laser focus module beside the LED flash which is not visible in the live photo. There also seems to be more red streaks which we believe becomes visible depending on the angle light is reflected by the device.
The Lenovo Z6 Pro will have 5G support and be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 855 chipset. The front of the phone is still a mystery but there are rumors it will sport a waterdrop notch and have a screen-to-body ratio higher than 90%.
It looks like the upcoming phone has been spotted on the Master Lu benchmark. The listing of YAL-AL00, believed to be the Honor 20, confirms a few of the specs of the device. First, it is powered by Huawei’s flagship 7nm Kirin 980 processor and will be supported by 8GB of RAM. Further, the resolution is said to be 2340 x 1080p, which confirms its 19.5:9 aspect ratio. If you remember, even the Honor 20i mid-ranger comes with the exact same resolution. Finally, the model scores around 338,924 in the benchmark, which puts it in the high-end category.
Meizu 16s, the China-based company’s upcoming flagship smartphone is scheduled to go official in its home country on 23rd April. Ahead of the phone’s official launch, the company has started taking reservations for the device.
The company has started taking pre-orders and will be available till 23:59 on 22nd April. This hints that the phone could go on sale from 23rd April. The company’s executive had previously said that the company had started mass production of the smartphone in March.
While the company has not revealed any specifications of features of the upcoming smartphone, the device has been leaked quite a few times, revealing all the major specs and features of the smartphone.
As per the leaks, the smartphone will be featuring a 6.2-inch Full HD+ display with a screen resolution of 2232 x 1080 pixels but it is expected to come without any kind of a notch on top of the display.
The phone will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 octa-core processor and will pack 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. We expect the phone to have other memory variants as well.
Coming to the camera department, there will be a triple camera setup on the back panel, consisting of a 48-megapixel Sony IMX586 primary sensor. On the front side, the phone will be featuring a 20-megapixel snapper.
In a recent Antutu benchmarking score, the device posted a score of 37,4190, making it one of the top performing Android smartphones. Based on the scores, the phone surpassed the Xiaomi Mi 9 and the Oppo Reno 10X Zoom Edition.
The smartphone is expected to be running Android 9 Pie operating system with the company’s own Flyme OS 7.3 custom interface on top. The battery is 3540 mAh and can be topped up through the 24W fast charger included in the box.
The Meizu 16s is expected to be available in three colors — White, Black, and Gradient Blue. The rumored pricing of the smartphone is said to be around CNY 3,400 which roughly translates to $505/€450.
Yesterday, Pete Lau shared the first official teaser for the next OnePlus flagship series. Before then, 3D renders of one of the devices initially expected to launch as the OnePlus 7 were already revealed by OnLeaks. The renders showed the phone will have a bezel-less design, triple rear cameras, and a pop-up selfie camera.
Case maker, Olixar, already has a bunch of cases for the phone which will launch as the OnePlus 7 Pro and they provide what can be termed the best look at the upcoming flagship killer.
The cases have various designs depending on your needs. There is a clear case that is tough and doesn’t cover up the phone’s rear design. There is also a leather case with slots for your bank cards and one styled like a leather purse.
Save for the leather purse, all the other cases have a cut-out for the pop-up selfie camera. The case renders show the OnePlus 7 Pro will have its triple rear cameras arranged vertically and positioned in the middle.
There is a cut-out for the alert slider on the right and cut-outs for the USB-C port, speaker grille, and SIM tray at the bottom.

Increasing competition from domestic rivals – JD.com and Alibaba’s Tmall entrenched Amazon in China. The world’s largest e-commerce retailer- Amazon failed to impress Chinese users through its online store. Amazon will cease its online store operations in China by July 18th. It will keep focusing on selling overseas goods and cloud services in the country.
The Chinese e-commerce market majorly relies on domestic players which constitute 82 percent of the total market. Alibaba’s Tmall and JD.com are the biggest online e-commerce portals of China.
The buyers won’t be able to place orders on Amazon China online store. Whereas they can keep enjoying overseas shipments from Amazon’s global stores in the United States, Britain, Germany, and Japan. Within the next 90 days, Amazon.cn will cool off support for all its domestic dealers.
“We are working closely with our sellers to ensure a smooth transition and to continue to deliver the best customer experience possible,” the spokeswoman said in a statement.
The company will keep investing in the country through its Global Stores, Global Selling, Kindle-e-readers, and other online content. Amazon Web Services and other businesses will remain unaffected with the Amazon.cn shutdown.
The sudden announcement from Amazon, made shares of Alibaba and JD.com rose 1 percent.
The multinational companies are facing stiff competition from Chinese retailers. In 2016, Walmart sold its entire online shopping platform to JD.com in China. On the other hand, Xiaomi and Huawei are trending with the increasing shares in the electronics market. Google, Netflix, Facebook, Google all are struggling to get into China’s increasing economy to reap some benefits.
Samsung recently unveiled its most anticipated and futuristic smartphone — Samsung Galaxy Fold, the South Korean giant’s first foldable smartphone. The phone, which is slated to go on sale later this month, has already been offered to a few reviewers and it seems that the build quality is highly questionable.
Several reviewers have complained that their unit broke down after just a few days of usage. Mark Gurman, a reviewer from Bloomberg said that his unit completely broke down and is unusable after just two days while Dieter Bohn from The Verge called out a “small bulge” on a defective hinge. CNBC’s Steve Kovach also twweeted about the display on his review unit which has started flickering.
Mark Gurman said that the display of his Galaxy Fold busted after he took off a “protective layer/film”. YouTuber Marques Brownlee (MKBHD) also encountered a similar issue after he removed the film. Well, as it turns out, it’s not a protective film and the company says that it shouldn’t be removed.
In response to all this, Samsung released a statement and said that it “will thoroughly inspect these units in person to determine the cause of the matter.” Below is the full statement from the company.
As for the specifications, when open, the Galaxy Fold smartphone presents a 7.3-inch Infinity Flex Display with a 1536 x 2152 resolution. In this mode, you can use three apps at the same time which Samsung calls Three-app Multitasking.
When folded into phone mode, it offers a 4.6-inch 840 x 1960 display. It comes with a feature called App Continuity which automatically adjust an app when you switch screens. It is powered by a 7nm processor paired with 12GB of RAM.
For the first time in a smartphone, it comes with UFS 3.0 storage with a 512GB capacity. Samsung says there are six cameras – three on the back (when folded in phone mode), one in front (also in phone mode), and two inside (in tablet mode). The camera module is made up of a 16MP ultra-wide camera, a 12MP telephoto camera, and another 12MP wide-angle camera. The selfie camera is a 10MP sensor.
It runs the latest Samsung One UI with Android 9 Pie operating system out-of-the-box. The phone packs a 4,380mAh battery which is split into two units. With a starting price of $1,980, the Samsung Galaxy Fold is set to be available for purchase from 26th April. Even after these issues, there’s reportedly no impact on the phone’s availability next week.
Xiaomi keeps surprising with the new products and models throughout the year. Along with smartphones, the company also brings various other daily home usage products involving smart TVs. Continuous improvements and increased efforts from Xiaomi has significantly increased its share in the smart TV market. China’s most popular TV brand is set to unveil new Mi TV in China on April 23.
According to a new poster on the Xiaomi’s official Weibo handle, the new Mi TV will come with improved rear design and better remote control. Xiaomi is focusing on bringing a full design overhaul, and will equally focus on the front and back of Mi TV. New design aesthetics will improve the overall quality of Xiaomi Mi TV.
In 2013, Xiaomi introduced a minimalist Remote Control featuring few buttons. Users applauded the new innovative design and functionality of the remote control featuring Voice recognition services. This time, Xiaomi is aggressively working to further improve the remote by endeavoring it with some new features.
Experts believe Xiaomi Mi TV will no longer use the remote control, and voice recognition will control every aspect of the device. Though it feels quite absurd at this time, we hope Xiaomi to bring something more innovative to make remote control more intuitive.
It is quite difficult to guess about improvements coming to the new Mi TV. We have to wait for its official launch on April 23 before speculating anything.
