Oppo has already confirmed that it will be launching its Oppo Reno smartphone series next month on 10th April at a launch event in China. Now, ahead of the phone’s official launch, the company has been teasing its specs and features.
The China-based smartphone brand has now teased several features of the upcoming phone in a creative video teaser. The video shows several real-life size elements such as camera lens, frame, and colors being embedded into the smartphone.
We expect the company to have the same or similar video at the time of product launch announcement to showcase its features. The teaser is indeed a creative one, making it stand apart from others which mainly just zooms in on the device or elements to showcase its features.
As we already know, thanks to the trademark filing, the Oppo Reno smartphone series will come with five different variants — Reno Pro, Reno Plus, Reno Zoom, Reno Lite, and Reno Youth, differing in terms of specifications and performance.
Earlier today, the company’s executive confirmed that the smartphone will come with Snapdragon 710 SoC. However, it’s not yet confirmed if all the variants will pack SD710 SoC or there will be a Snapdragon 855-powered model, perhaps the top-end model.
Previously leaked specifications of the device reveal that it’ll feature a 6.4-inch display that probably supports Full HD+ resolution. The smartphone is fitted with a 48-megapixel + 5-megapixel dual camera setup and a front-facing snapper of 16-megapixel. The device is loaded with the latest ColorOS v6.0 and it is equipped with connectivity features such as Wi-Fi 802.11ac and Bluetooth 5.0.
As said, Oppo has scheduled a launch event on 10th April in China to launch the Oppo Reno-series smartphones. However, it’s not yet known if the company will be launching all five smartphone models on the same day.
Xiaomi, which considers itself as an internet service company and not a hardware company, is all set to launch its new short video application — Zhenjing Video. The company seems to be following the footsteps of Bytedance and Tencent.
The app named Zhenjing Video is being operated by a company in the southwestern city of Chengdu, in which Xiaomi owns a controlling stake. The app made its appearance in on Xiaomi and Baidu’s Android app stores but it has been taken down at the time of writing this.
However, a WeChat mini-program by the same name still remains live. Like other similar applications, this one too hosts videos ranging from one minute to 10 minutes, along with features such as personalized content and ‘bullet screens’ for displaying comments. Currently, users are unable to upload their videos.
Xiaomi jumping on the short video services bandwagon seems pretty much in line with the company’s strategy so far. The Chinese smartphone maker has already created an ecosystem of internet services products that comes pre-installed in Xiaomi’s smartphones.
The services offered by Xiaomi to its hardware users range from online media content streaming such as videos and music to its own payments services called Mi Pay. While some of those services are still limited to China, a few of the services have made to other regions as well, the latest being Mi Pay’s official launch in India earlier this month.
Internet services made up for 9 percent of the company’s revenue in the year 2018, showing 0.5 percent growth from 2017 but it grew around 61 percent compared to the year before. The gross profit margin for this business also grew from 57 percent to 63 percent, led by videos and live streaming services.
Oppo has scheduled a launch event on 10th April in China where the company is all set to launch its upcoming “Reno” smartphone series. Now, ahead of the phone’s launch, the company and its executives have been revealed details about the phones.
After the phone’s renders and key specs were leaked online, the company’s VP has now confirmed that the device will come in two variants. For users who prefer excellent camera performance, there will be a “top-end” model with 10x optical zoom support.
However, for those who just want decent smartphone performance can opt for the “standard” model of the Oppo Reno, which will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 710 SoC and will come with the Sony’s 48 MP camera sensor.
Earlier, the phone’s specs had surfaced online, which revealed that it’ll feature a 6.4-inch display that probably supports Full HD+ resolution. The smartphone is fitted with a 48-megapixel + 5-megapixel dual camera setup and a front-facing snapper of 16-megapixel. The device is loaded with the latest ColorOS v6.0 and it is equipped with connectivity features such as Wi-Fi 802.11ac and Bluetooth 5.0.
A recent trademark filing has revealed that the smartphone will be available in five variants — Reno Pro, Reno Plus, Reno Zoom, Reno Lite, and Reno Youth, differing in terms of specifications and performance. It also seems that Breeno — an AI-based voice assistant from Oppo will be made available on these Reno series smartphones.
As said, Oppo has already scheduled a launch event on 10th April in China to launch the Oppo Reno-series smartphones. However, it’s not yet known if the company will be launching all five smartphone models on the same day.
Last month, Lu Weibing, the head of the Redmi confirmed via a Weibo post that the brand will release a Snapdragon 855 flagship. However, after that we didn’t get any information about this upcoming model. But it looks like a lot of Xiaomi fans were pestering him with questions about this flagship. Earlier today, he posted on Weibo requesting his followers not to ask him about Redmi 855 smartphone.
Mr. Weibing revealed that it was still too early to talk about the phone. His current focus was to ensure that the Redmi Note 7 Pro and Redmi 7 model sales exceed ten million units.
So, despite the earlier confirmation, the Snapdragon 855 powered Redmi device is unlikely to launch anytime soon. So, if you were looking for a cheap SD855 flagship anytime soon, the Xiaomi Mi 9 is still one of your best bets.
The new Xiaomi Redmi 7 series models are selling pretty well. So, it won’t be very long until the brand hits its target. The main highlight of the Redmi Note 7 Pro is its Sony IMX586 48MP sensor, which is the same one used in the Xiaomi Mi 9. This along with Snapdragon 675, 4000mAh battery and splash resistance makes the phone a pretty compelling option in the mid-range segment.

Lenovo had earlier teased the launch of Lenovo Z6 Pro smartphone during the Mobile World Congress 2019 last month in Barcelona, Spain. However, instead of launching the smartphone, the company just revealed that the phone will make its debut soon.
Now, Lenovo Group Vice President Chang Chengfa has officially announced that the company’s next flagship smartphone Lenovo Z6 Pro will be unveiled on March 27. He said that people won’t have to wait for the device and he calls it “new species” and “new experience”, hinting that it’ll be a special device.
In addition to that, it mentions the word “HYPER VIDEO” but nothing much is known about this feature. If nothing unexpected, this will be the main function of the Lenovo Z6 Pro smartphone. Earlier, it was revealed that the “Hyper Videos” will be the trend of the 5G era.
Although he didn’t explain what Hyper videos are, he did say they will be transferred at higher speeds than current videos. Phones, including Z 6 Pro, will record this hyper videos will feature new camera technologies.
Mr. Chang finally revealed that the Lenovo Z6 Pro will launch in China in June with support for 5G. The company announced a 5G partnership with China Unicom, so the Z6 Pro will most definitely be available on the carrier.
The phone’s launch, which is scheduled to take place on 27th March, is unexpected as earlier the company had revealed that the Z6 Pro will be launched in June 2019 with support for 5G. There’s a possibility that the non-5G variant could launch this month while the 5G model will be launched in June.
The company’s current flagship smartphone — Lenovo Z5 Pro, is already ahead of the competition since it had launched the Lenovo Z5 Pro GT as the world’s first smartphone powered by Snapdragon 855 SoC in December 2018. It is also the first smartphone ever to feature 12GB of RAM.
In October last year, Xiaomi had introduced the Xiaomi Mi MIX 3 smartphone and its 5G edition was announced in Europe in the previous month. Through a new Weibo post, the company has teased the arrival of a new Mi MIX series phone. Could it be the Xiaomi Mi MIX 4?
Neither the teaser nor the Weibo post has any mentioning of the Mi MIX 4 moniker. However, the image suggests that it is the next flagship model in the series. In October 2016, Xiaomi had launched the Mi MIX concept phone with ceramic rear and tri-bezeless display. The Mi MIX 2 that was unveiled in November 2017 arrived with the same design.
The handset was succeeded by Mi MIX 3 in October 2018. It had arrived with a slider design which allowed it to boast a higher screen-to-body ratio. The company had also announced the Mi MIX 2S as an upgraded edition of the Mi MIX 2S in March 2018. There is no confirmation on whether the company has any plans to launch a phone with Mi MIX 3S moniker. The arrival of Mi MIX 3S seems unlikely since it has recently launched the Mi MIX 3 5G edition. Probably, the company could be hinting the arrival of the Mi MIX 4.
The Mi MIX phones are usually introduced in early fourth quarter of the year. Now that the company has released a teaser for an upcoming Mi MIX phone, it appears that the Mi MIX 4 may debut early this year. Each generation of Mi MIX series have offered surprises in design. Hence, the Mi MIX 4 is expected to offer a higher screen space than the Mi MIX 3. It is also rumored to arrive with triple camera setup equipped with a periscope lens.
A recent report had revealed that the Xiaomi may soon announce the Xiaomi Mi MIX 3 5G phone in China. It is advisable to wait for further reports to confirm whether the company could be teasing the Mi MIX 3 5G edition for China or the Mi MIX 4 with a surprising new design.
Recent reports have revealed that the Motorola One Vision is an upcoming Android One phone from the company. The same smartphone is expected to release in China as Motorola P40 as the successor for the Motorola P30 phone from last year. Key details on the specs had appeared in the previous week. A leaked render of the Motorola One Vision has appeared to reveal its front and rear design.
The Motorola One Vision can be seen sporting a tall aspect ratio screen with a punch-hole camera cutout on its top-left corner. The brown colored back panel of the phone features a vertical dual camera module followed by an LED flash. The Motorola logo on the rear will be embedded with a fingerprint reader. The Android One logo can be also seen towards the bottom edge of the rear shell of the phone. An external speaker and USB-C port is available on the bottom edge of the device.
A recent leak had revealed that the Motorola One Vision will be arriving with a 21:9 tall aspect ratio display that includes a camera cutout of 174 x 167 pixels on the display. The screen is said to support a full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2560 pixels.
The smartphone is expected to get unveiled as the first Exynos powered device from Motorola. It is likely to be fueled by the Exynos 9610 SoC. The chipset could be coupled with 3 GB or 4 GB RAM. It may hit the market in storage choices such as 32 GB, 64 GB and 128 GB. It may come packed with a 3,500mAh battery.
The Motorola One Vision is expected to feature 48-megapixel primary sensor in its dual camera setup. By default, it will be able to snap photos of 12-megapixel resolution. The Exynos 9610 will assist the One Vision to capture 48-megapixel shots through Quad Color Filer Array at slower speeds of 18 fps. The Long Exposure feature that is expected to be available on the Motorola One Vision will let users to capture optimized photos in dim-light conditions. The smartphone is expected to go official in the second quarter of the year.

Innovative Chinese startup iTeknic indicated that it was working on a wireless Bluetooth headset that would offer users up to 24 hours playback time. Bluetooth headsets are quickly becoming one of the most popular ways to listen to music. The fun is usually cut short due to the battery capacity that is usually crammed into the earbud. If you’re lucky, you could see a wireless headset that can deliver up to 8 hours playback while others don’t even last more than 2-3 hours. However, the headset dubbed iTeknic IK-BH001 wireless stereo headset comes with a durable battery that can withstand a long period of usage. The tech company also unveiled a new Active noise cancelling wireless headphone with the model number IK-BHoo2.
The iTeknic IK-BH001 Bluetooth headset is touted to deliver up to 24 hours of playback time. This is perhaps, the standout feature of the Bluetooth headphone but the gadget is expected to coming packing several other premium features. The 24-hour playtime was achieved using the latest low power-consuming Bluetooth chips and improved battery capacity.
iTeknic IK-BH001 Wireless headset with 24-hour battery power
The iTeknic BH001 headset has a sleek, stylish design and a solid build. It is a high-performance headset ideal for exercise, although any outgoer will also find their lightweight functionality and impressive sound isolation highly appealing.

There is also an IPX4 sweat and weather resistance. It adopts an in-ear design with a hook which keeps it firmly in place even if the wearer is out jogging or doing our vigorous exercises. There are also control buttons for volume control and to power on/off the gadget. The control buttons can also be used to control calls. The iTeknic IK-BH001 is presently available on Amazon for just $25.89.
iTeknic IK-BH002 Active Noise Cancelling Wireless Headphone
We can’t place the IK-BHoo2 in the same category with Boss headphones but it holds its own when it comes to the hardware and features. As the name implies, the headphone comes with active noise cancelling technology which effectively reduces the noise of city traffic, plane cabin or busy environments Thus, with the BH002, you can enjoy some quiet moment listening to music anytime and anywhere.
The iTeknic IK-BH002 Active Noise Cancelling Wireless headset comes with Bluetooth 5.0 and equally has a 3.5mm audio jack. This means that you can use the gadget on the wired and wireless mode. The noise cancellation function can work well both in wire and wireless mode. Each of the headsets has 1.75-inch/44mm audio drivers which allow the headset to stream high-resolution audio with deep, powerful bass. There is also a built-in cVc 6.0 microphone which ensures crisp, clear calls without ambient noise. One interesting aspect of this headset is the powerful battery it packs. The battery can deliver 15-20 hours of continuous playback. Even when you run out of battery power, you won’t have to wait for long before you can resume using the headphone. Just 5-8 hours of charging can give you 3-4 hours of playback at full blast. The headset can attain full charge in 45 minutes to 1 hour time. Another beautiful thing about the headset is the design. The headband is adjustable while the ear cups can be rotated up to 90 degrees. This rotation makes it possible to fold the headset such that it occupies minimal space. The gadget even ships with a solid carrying bag. The mufflers are equally soft and can give users maximum comfort if worn for long.

The Huawei Enjoy 9e is an upcoming smartphone scheduled to launch on March 25 alongside the Enjoy 9S and the MediaPad M5 Youth Edition 2019. A few days ago, Huawei released a teaser poster that revealed some of the phone’s specs and partial design, more specs have leaked along with official renders.
[envira-gallery id=”242384″]
The Huawei Enjoy 9e will come with a 6.08-inch HD+ display with a Dewdrop notch and a slightly thick lower bezel. The official renders reveal it will come in three colors – Sapphire Blue, Midnight Black, and a brown leatherback variant similar to the Huawei Y6 Pro (2019). Actually, both the Enjoy 9e and Y6 Pro (2019) share a near-identical design and even some specs.
The phone is powered by MediaTek’s 12nm Helio P35 SoC which debuted on the Xiaomi Mi Play. The chipset is paired with 3GB of RAM and 32GB/64GB of storage which can be expanded to up to 512GB via a MicroSD card slot. It has a 13MP f/1.8 rear camera and an 8MP f/2.0 front-facing camera.
Huawei Nova 4e debuted in China and in a few days it will launch in the global market under the Huawei P30 Lite moniker. That is why it will probably be the Huawei’s midrange phone that will catalyze most of the attention in this first half of 2019. Just like the Redmi 7 Pro by Xiaomi which comes with upper-midrange specifications at a very affordable price. Alongside these handsets, another device with an excellent quality-price ratio launched in the Chinese market recently is the Oppo F11 that comes with impressive cameras and long battery life. In this comparison, you will learn which of these three devices should be the most satisfying.

Design
I personally think that Huawei P30 Lite is the most attractive phone when it comes to aesthetics. It sports an elegant glass back and it is also the thinnest device of this comparison, as well as the most compact one thanks to its smaller display. We even got very narrow bezels around the display and a small dewdrop notch. Right after, there is the Redmi Note 7 Pro with a catchy gradient back made of glass and protected by Gorilla Glass 5. It comes with thicker bezels, but it has a very nice build quality and it is water resistant, according to the company. Even though it has a very high screen-to-body ratio, Oppo F11 takes the last place due to its less attractive plastic body.
Display
All of these phones come with an LCD display, but Oppo F11 offers something more. It comes with the advanced LTPS technology as well as a bigger size that makes it more suitable for productivity, multimedia, and gaming. The resolution is exactly the same and the color reproduction is similar as well, so you will not notice important differences between these panels. You may need to know that Huawei Nova 4e and Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro have a slightly smaller U-shaped notch instead of a V-shaped one like the Oppo F11.
Specs & Software
If you want to get the best performance with the fastest and smoothest device, go for the Redmi Note 7 Pro without thinking twice. Its Snapdragon 675 chipset is a very powerful beast and it comes with a pretty nice GPU that performs well even in demanding gaming scenarios. If you do not like the Redmi Note 7 Pro, then go for the Oppo F11 as it still comes with an upper-midrange SoC and it offers a longer battery life. In terms of performance, Huawei Nova 4e is more or less like the Oppo F11. In each case, you get a highly customized user interface based on Android 9 Pie.
Camera
It is hard to establish which camera is the best as the camera performances of these devices vary depending on the scenario. Huawei Nova 4e is definitely the most interesting one because it comes with a triple camera including an ultrawide sensor and a stunning 32 MP selfie camera. However, the rear department of the Redmi Note 7 Pro and the Oppo F11 is still pretty good as it includes a 48 MP main camera which provides a very high level of detail and good photos even in low light conditions. The rear cameras of the Redmi Note 7 Pro are slightly superior to the ones on the Oppo F11 but I would go for the Huawei Nova 4e due to its ultrawide sensor and good stabilization.
Battery
Huawei Nova 4e loses this comparison due to its smaller 3340 mAh battery, while it is a hard fight between Redmi Note 7 Pro and Oppo F11. The former is better on more scenarios thanks to its very efficient 11 nm chipset, a smaller display, and outstanding software optimization, but the differences in battery life are not so noticeable compared to the Oppo F11.
Price
You can get the Redmi Note 7 Pro for just €200 in China, while Huawei Nova 4e and Oppo F11 cost about €270. Overall, Redmi Note 7 Pro wins the comparison thanks to its higher value for money, big battery, and very performing hardware department.

Simultaneous connection to two Bluetooth devices: You will be able to connect to two audio devices at once and set one of the devices for call audio output but ringtone will be played from both phones.
The Vivo NEX was the first phone to have a pop-up selfie camera. The feature is now available on other phones like the Vivo V15 Pro, the OPPO F11 Pro, the Vivo X27 and the X27 Pro.
Apple is struggling to maintain its smartphone market over the past year in China. Many local companies including Huawei and Xiaomi are giving stiff competition to the Cupertino giant. There are many reports citing reasons behind such a decline, but no one confirmed the actual numbers. Thanks to a new report from Reuters highlighting the extent of how many Chinese are moving away from Apple.
The report cites that Apple’s share in the Chinese market tumbled from 81.2 percent to 54.6 percent in the past year. Majorly, the products falling under $500-$800 categories are worst hit with the increasing competition from local brands. While referring to the iPhone X line, Neil Shah research director at Counterpoint said: “Most Chinese smartphone buyers are not ready to shell out beyond $1,000 for a phone, and This left a gap in the below-$800 segment which Chinese vendors grabbed with both hands.”
Chinese are also missing some key features on Apple devices, it constitutes either a single or a dual rear camera while its competitors like Huawei are flocking their devices with new innovations. These days Chinese consumer look for multiple cameras, and other premium features at an affordable price.
Huawei market share improved a lot in China, jumped from 26.6 percent from 8.8 percent within a year. Huawei P20 Pro and Mate 20 are the main attractions among smartphone users in China. Even confirmed by smartphone reseller He Fan, CEO of Huishoubao, said, “Huawei’s cameras have become noticeably better than Apple’s in that they suit the tastes of Chinese consumers more.”
Apple’s poor sales are not only limited to China but worldwide, many factories are running at half-capacity from past sometime. To overcome this situation, Apple needs to develop cheap phones, maintaining the same build quality and better specifications. More innovative features will also ensure Apple to earn back its share in China.
