The phone looks very much like the top-selling and cool Redmi 4A model which was one of the company’s highest -grossing smartphone till date.

At the beginning of the year, Xiaomi announced the Mi Power 3 Pro portable battery pack with a 20000mAh capacity which has support for 45W max input and output charging. Today, Xiaomi has announced the Mi Power 3 10,000mAh. This is a more portable version and a direct successor to the 2016 Mi Power 2.

The Mi Power 3 10000mAh brings new features but the design hasn’t changed much, if at all. It is covered in aluminum with a CNC finish and its dimensions are still the same as that of the Mi Power 2.

So what are the new features? The most important one is the addition of a USB type-C port. The type-c port is a two-way port that can be used for charging the power bank itself or your devices which have a USB-C port. It also supports 2-way 18W fast charging.

There is still a full-sized USB-A port and it supports 18W fast-charging too. The MicroUSB input port also supports 18W fast-charging. So you have three ports in total.

The Mi Power 3 retains the four white LED lights that indicate the battery level. It also retains support for charging low power devices like the Mi Band. There are different protections built into the power bank including high voltage, high current, and overcharging etc.

The Mi Power 3 is priced at ¥129 which roughly translates to $19. It comes in silver and black and is already available for reservation on Mi.com March 18. It will come with a USB cable that has both MicroUSB and type-C connectors.

Huawei has become the first manufacturer to receive a 5G mobile phone certificate in the EU. Earlier today, Huawei’s VP, Li Xiaolong was awarded the CE certificate by the president of Germany’s TÜV Rheinland, Stefan Kischka for the Huawei Mate X foldable phone.

The CE certificate is a requirement for any product that will be sold within the European Economic Area. It certifies that the product is safe and meets health and environmental standards.

The Huawei Mate X is the first 5G phone in the world to receive this certification and it hints at the phone launching in the region in the near future. It also means that Huawei is already working on mass production of the phone.

Huawei’s Li Xiaolong says the CE certificate is like a passport to enter the European market. However, getting it isn’t as easy as that required for 4G devices as the process is more stringent.

The Huawei Mate X was unveiled at MWC 2019 last month. It has a flexible AMOLED display panel that folds outward. When unfolded, the screen size is 8-inches with a 2200 x 2480 resolution and when folded it has a 6.6-inch 1148 x 2480 screen on one side and a 6.38-inch 2480 x 892 display on the other side.

Qualcomm took to Twitter on Wednesday to reveal it has a special announcement scheduled for March 19. There is not a lot of info but the attached image hints at the announcement being audio-related.

The chipset which brings True Wireless Stereo Plus to earphones by connecting the phone to both earbuds simultaneously is found inside the OPPO O-Free Wireless Earphones. It is also present inside the Mavin Air-X Earbuds.

Huawei has developed own operating system for smartphones and PCs

Huawei has confirmed that it has developed its own operating systems for smartphones and PCs. The company has also claimed that it will continue to use Android and Windows as preferred operating system on their devices and will only resort to using its own OS in “extenuating circumstances.”

Huawei has been using US-made operating systems on its devices since several years. In an interview with a German publication Die Welt, Huawei Consumer Group Business CEO Richard Yu confirmed that the company has readied a proprietary operating system owing to the tensions between the firm and the U.S. government.

The proprietary operating system is Plan B from Huawei and it may use it if it is no longer allowed to use Android and Windows on its devices. A Huawei spokesperson said that the company does not expect to use its operating system and it will continue to support the OS from its partners. He added that Huawei’s customers love Android and Windows and it will always remain its first choices.

The smartphone industry is mainly led by iOS and Android devices. Various company’s have attempted and failed to break the duopoly by launching phones with different operating systems. For instance, Microsoft phones were made available with Windows Phone OS and Windows 10 Mobile, some Samsung phones were released with its Tizen OS and Symbian OS powered Nokia phones.

Trade secret thefts, violations of economic sanctions, unethical business dealings with Iran through unofficial subsidiary are some of the charges that have been applied by the U.S. governments against Huawei. Last year, an export ban was imposed on ZTE since it was found guilty of violating sanctions on Iran. The ban was removed a few months later.

The U.S. is reportedly considering Huawei considered as a national security threat. If found guilty, the company may not be able to use U.S. technologies on its devices. Hence, by developing its own operating system, Huawei seems to be preparing itself for any untoward situations. On March 7, Huawei had sued the U.S. government for banning its equipment under the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).

During the last months, Samsung totally renewed its line-up of midrange smartphones. The Korean giant launched the new Galaxy M series that is the natural successor to the J series, as well as a brand new name scheme for the A series. Alongside the Galaxy M10, Samsung Galaxy M20 is the first phone from the M line-up, while the Galaxy A30 is the first device from the A series with a 0 at the end belonging to the new name scheme. These two devices carry very similar price tags and their prices are even similar to the older sibling Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) released in the second half of last year. If you want to know which Samsung mid-ranger you should opt for, go ahead with this specs comparison.

BATTERY	5000 mAh	4000 mAh	3300 mAh

Design

The award for the design and build quality goes to the Samsung Galaxy A30. Its rear side is not made of glass like flagship devices, Samsung called it “3D glasstic” because it is essentially a plastic back that looks like glass, but the device is very solid and it has an aluminum frame. Samsung Galaxy A30 is also one of the few affordable devices with a waterproof body. It has the IP68 certification. The second place goes to the Galaxy A7 2018 with its elegant and minimal glass back. But the bezels around the display are thick, unlike the other two devices which come with a waterdrop notch and very narrow bezels. Samsung Galaxy M20 has a cheap plastic design.

Display

On the display side, Samsung Galaxy A30 and Galaxy A7 2018 are the most convincing ones as they have a Super AMOLED panel with more brilliant colors. I would personally go for the Samsung Galaxy A30 because of its taller 6.4-inch panel and narrower bezels. But if you hate the notch, you may prefer the Samsung Galaxy A7 2018. The Galaxy M20 comes with a lower-end TFT display.

Specs & Software

The Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) is equipped with slightly better hardware, at least in its most expensive configuration. It arrives with up to 6 GB of RAM and up to 128 GB of internal storage, while Samsung Galaxy A30 and M20 stop at 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal storage. Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) has a slightly different SoC with a higher clock frequency but the same GPU. Note that Samsung Galaxy A30 comes with Android 9 Pie out of the box, while the others are based on Android Oreo.

Camera

The most powerful and interesting camera department is the one on board of the Samsung Galaxy A7 2018. On the rear side, it has a triple camera setup with a 24 MP main sensor, an ultrawide lens, and a depth sensor. And it even has a very nice 24 MP selfie camera. Right after, we got the Samsung Galaxy A30 which still comes with a bright aperture but lacks the ultrawide sensor and it has a selfie camera with a lower 16 MP resolution.

Battery

Finally, a department in which Samsung Galaxy M20 wins: the battery life. With its huge 5000 mAh unit, it can even last three days if you do not stress it too much. However, the Samsung Galaxy A30 remains an amazing battery phone thanks to its efficient components and its 4000 mAh battery. Samsung Galaxy A7 2018 takes the last place, but it is thinner thanks to its smaller battery. Samsung Galaxy M20 and A30 support 15W fast charging.

Price

Samsung Galaxy A30 costs about €220/$250 in the Asian market, Samsung Galaxy M20 carries the same price in the global market and even Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) is available for €220 in the global market thanks to online street prices. Overall, the Samsung Galaxy A30 is definitely a better handset thanks to its great display, waterproof certification and well-balanced specifications, but it will cost more in the global market.

Last year, Xiaomi announced a new smartphone brand called POCO. The first and only phone from the brand is the POCO F1 and we are looking forward to its successor which we expect will launch as the POCO F2. However, it appears we might be getting another a different POCO phone first albeit a less-powerful one.

A few hours ago, a device by the name “ Xiaomi POCO F1 Lite” was seen on Geekbench. The POCO F1 Lite is running Android 9 and is powered by the sdm660 a.k.a. Snapdragon 660 processor. It also has 4GB of RAM.

The POCO F1 Lite scored 1341 points in the single-core test and 4830 points in the multi-core test. The scores are pretty low compared to that of other Snapdragon 660 phones like the Nokia 7 Plus. Actually, they are closer to that of phones powered by the Snapdragon 636 like the Redmi Note 5 Pro.

According to Nashville Chatterclass, who first reported the sighting of the POCO F1 Lite, they also spotted a phone by the name “Xiaomi Uranus” earlier today on Geekbench. There are speculations the POCO F1 Lite is the same device as “Xiaomi Uranus” as their scores and specs are similar.

Xiaomi has launched a new product dubbed QingPing Bluetooth Thermometer and Hygrometer Mijia version. The product may look like one product you’ve seen in the past, that is because it is an upgraded version of the digital thermometer hygrometer which Xiaomi launched in 2018 with an ultra-cheap price tag of 59 Yuan (~$9). This new model comes with a price tag of 99 yuan ($14) which is still cheap.

The design of this new model is slightly different. Instead of a square shape, the new QingPing Bluetooth thermometer Hygrometer features a round shape. However, the major difference is that this version comes with Bluetooth and supports MIJIA app connectivity. The data captured on the device can be viewed on the Mijia app. In addition, the device can be paired with other MIJIA smart home gadgets. The device has built-in storage which can save data every 15 minutes and store up to 30 days data.

The device features an ultra-low power e-ink display which ensures it conserves battery power. It is manufactured using environmentally friendly PC / ABS + PMMA material which does not contain harmful substances. The round electronic ink display shows the temperature and humidity of the environment where it is mounted, as well as the battery and Bluetooth icons.

The Xiaomi QingPing Bluetooth Thermometer and Hygrometer feature built-in Swiss high-precision digital sensors with a temperature measurement accuracy of 0.3 ℃, humidity measurement accuracy of 3% RH. There is also the option of viewing the temperature reading in Celsius or Fahrenheit. There is also a CR2430 button battery inside which can last between 8-12 months when used under normal room temperature. There three ways to mount the Digital Thermometer hygrometer; there is a vertical base or the use of wall stickers. It can also be mounted using soft magnets. The device is suitable for the baby room, bedroom, desk, flower room, kitchen, bathroom and other locations within the apartment.

The product is already available to buy in China on Xiaomi Youpin. You can find the product page from the source link below.

Xiaomi cancels the Mi 9 SE and Mi 9 Transparent Edition sales billed for today (March 14)

Xiaomi‘s latest models, specifically the Mi 9 SE and Mi 9 Transparent Edition were scheduled to go on sale in China on Thursday, March 14 2019. But in the dying minutes, the Chinese company cancelled the sales. In an announcement made on its official sales platform, the Chinese tech giant cited insufficient stock as the reason for the cancellation of what would have been the second round of sales since the models were launched.

Xiaomi’s products are usually highly sought after. Besides, the company recently admitted that its production process needed to be streamlined in order to ramp up available stock. The company recently disclosed that it was embarking on in-house training in order to boost production. Xiaomi’s CEO had even assured fans that he would personally handle the screwdriver to participate in the process of assembling the smartphones so that there would be adequate stock. Apparently, we are yet to start seeing the result of these moves.

It is possible that Xiaomi is trying to avoid a situation where only about 200,000 units will be available and the models will be out of stock only seconds after going on sale. The company has apologized to fans and did hint that all staff on its production line are doing their best to get enough units ready for the next sales. The models will go on sale again on March 19 which is just a couple of days away.

Since last year, the US started its clampdown on Huawei, shunning its 5G infrastructure on its home turf and allied nations. Australia, Japan, New Zeland, Austria, and some other countries denied Huawei from participating in 5G infrastructure trials. It led Huawei to sue the US Government last week.
