Xiaomi has just shown that the Redmi brand is an entirely independent brand with its own range of products that stretches further than smartphones. The Redmi series was previously focused on mid-range and budget smartphones but the Chinese giant recently reorganised it into a separate brand. Xiaomi had hinted that the brand will have its own flagship phone. However, nothing prepared our mind for this new launch of a Redmi washing machine and now, a Redmi AirDot TWS Bluetooth headset.

The new products were announced during the Redmi brand conference held today in China. One stand out feature of the two products is that they both come with affordable prices. Redmi’s head Lu Weibing, during the conference, reiterated the brand’s desire to continue to pursue high-quality products with an amazing price to performance ratio (value for money). The Redmi AirDOts comes with an affordable 99.9 yuan ($15) price tag.

The Redmi AirDots Truly Wireless Bluetooth headset packs a built-in Realtek 8763 chip and Bluetooth 5.0. The headset can be used for bilateral calls and digital sound quality is assured with its DSP digital noise reduction feature. The headset also packs a durable battery that can last up to 4 hours of continuous music playback when the pair is used. The headset comes as a pair and each of them weighs just 4.1g. Thus, they are not heavy. It is also comfortable to wear with silicon earbuds. It also pairs easily as soon as it is removed from its charging box and when it is kept inside the box, it goes off. The storage case also doubles as is charging compartment. The charging box can last up to 12 hours.

The Redmi AirDots has a control button on one of the pair which performs various functions apart from switching it off and on. A single click pauses songs while double-clicking the button wakes up the Voice Assistant such as XiaoAI smart assistant and Apple’s Siri. The button can also be used to control the mobile phone, as well as to take a photo. Recall that Xiaomi launched a TWS Bluetooth headset Youth Edition under the Mi brand not too long ago. The design and features of both headsets are similar except that the Mi model comes with touch panel while the Redmi model has a physical button.

The Redmi AirDots Truly Wireless Bluetooth headset will go on sale in China on April 9.

Samsung Mobile schedules new event for April 10, might be for the Galaxy A90

Mar 18, 2019

Samsung’s Galaxy S10 series has been getting all the attention since it went on sale earlier this month. There are reviews popping up on virtually all tech sites. Nevertheless, it appears Samsung has more high-end devices scheduled for the first half of the year as it has just announced there is another event next month.

The official Samsung Mobile Twitter account just revealed this morning that there will be an event on April 10, 2019. The event will also be live-streamed on Samsung.com.

Enter the era of live. April 10, 2019 – Live on https://t.co/kDIR3TcbZ5 #SamsungEvent pic.twitter.com/EqN8wF04Wd

— Samsung Mobile (@SamsungMobile) March 18, 2019

The tweet itself doesn’t reveal the device that will be launching but there is a chance it is more than one phone judging from the attached video which shows three displays. One of the screens is an Infinity-V display. The other two screens do not seem to have a notch.

If we were to take a guess, we would say the launch is for new Galaxy A smartphones with one of them being the Galaxy A90. Since there is a dedicated event, it makes sense it is for a high-end Galaxy A smartphone.

The Galaxy A90 is said to have a display without a notch or punch hole like the Galaxy S10 series. So for the front-facing camera, Samsung is said to have adopted a pop-up camera that also rotates. This allows the camera to double as the rear camera too. We are pretty excited to see how Samsung pulls this off.

Xiaomi product director hints Flash Sale supply shortage ensures that the offline market thrives

By

Mar 18, 2019

Xiaomi has mastered the art of flash sales for selling its newly launched smartphones. The strategy helps the company build hype around the product as well as sell devices even when it has lower stocks. Earlier, it was understandable but seeing the company’s growth, it’s not acceptable that the company still relies on the flash sale model.

When the company was young, it was understandable that it could have issues with production and supply chain and the company had no choice but to go with the flash sale route because of supply vs demand problem. But now the company has means to solve that issue, then why is it still relying on the flash sale model? The company’s recently launched flagship device — Xiaomi Mi 9 is available through the flash sale and it’s very difficult for the users to purchase the device.

Xiaomi Logo

Well, we now know the answer. Xiaomi’s product director Wang Teng accidentally revealed in a group that the flash sale model is a strategic decision. If there is a lot of stock of a particular product, there’s no “premium” for that device in the offline market to sell and people will rely only on the online sales. Thus, the company would have to bear a huge loss.

While there are other reasons for the flash sale model, including production capacity and supply chain. However, the company also seems to be employing tacting like flash sale to create demand for the smartphone, which can then be available for purchase through offline channels with a premium on top of its price.

If the company decides to stock up as every other company does, the offline premium market will not exist. The phones are also available on premium through third-party online resellers. While users can’t get their hands on the newly launched Xiaomi smartphone easily, the phone can be found on major Chinese reselling websites at a premium cost.

People are now frustrated with the flash sale model as it robs the genuine buyers the chance of owning the device. However, with the competition increasing against Xiaomi and with many other similar options to choose from, users will shift to another brand if Xiaomi’s products are not easily available. So, what do you think about the flash sale model?

Xiaomi Poco F2 Geekbench listing with Snapdragon 855 and Android Q spotted (UPDATE: FAKE)

By

-

Mar 18, 2019

UPDATE: Well, turns out this was a fake listing. Even the Poco F1 Lite Geekbench (reported a couple of days back) result turned out to be a fake. Basically, XDA planted these two Geekbench results to show how easy it was to fake Geekbench listings. In short, the gist of the matter is that we no longer can trust Geekbench listings. I’m not going to retract this article, instead, I think it would be a good way to highlight this particular point. You can read XDA’s article from here.

Xiaomi Poco F2 is one of the most anticipated smartphones of 2019. The Xiaomi Poco F1 is currently available as the most affordable Snapdragon 845 driven phone. Hence, the Xiaomi Poco F2 is also expected to release the cheapest Snapdragon 855 powered phone. Xiaomi could be now internally testing the upcoming Poco F2 since a Geekbench listing of the device has surfaced online.

Xiaomi Poco F2 Geekbench listing

A smartphone labelled as “Poco F2” has appeared on Geekbench benchmarking platform. As expected, the Snapdragon 855 is present under the hood of the device. The SoC is supported by 4 GB of RAM and it is loaded with the upcoming Android Q OS.

In the single-core test, the Xiaomi Poco F2 has scored 1776 points. In the multi-core test, the device has recorded a score of 6097 points. Recent benchmarking listings of SD855 driven phones have scored more than 3k points in the single-core tests and around 10k in the multi-core tests. Hence, the Poco F2 Geekbench scores are quite low compared to other SD855 fueled phones.

What’s a bit weird about the listing is that the Xiaomi Poco F1 is available in 6 GB and 8 GB RAM options. However, the newly spotted Poco F2 has 4 GB of RAM onboard.

The Xiaomi Poco F1 was unveiled in August last year and it had arrived with Android 8.1 Oreo OS. Without much delay, the handset was treated with Android 9 Pie OS update as well as MIUI 10 custom ROM. Probably, the Poco F2 may come loaded with Android 9 Pie OS and it will be provided with Android Q update soon after its market release.

Recently, a phone codenamed as Xiaomi Uranus was spotted on Geekbench with specs like Snapdragon 660, 4 GB of RAM and Android 9 Pie. It is speculated that this handset my debut as Poco F1 Lite. However, there is no official confirmation on the existence of Poco F1 Lite and the newly spotted Poco F2.

ZTE Axon S renders leaks: Horizontal slider, Triple rear cameras, Xenon flash and more

Don’t fancy the ZTE Axon 10 Pro? Then you may want to look forward to the Axon S, an upcoming flagship from the Chinese manufacturer which takes a familiar design and turns it on its sides. It also has some pretty amazing specs too. Renders of the phone have been leaked and we like what we see.

Last year, manufacturers like Honor, Xiaomi, and Lenovo released phones with a slider design. If you slide any of these phones vertically downward, you are greeted with the front-facing camera(s) and sensors that will usually reside on the top bezel but are now behind the screen.

For the ZTE Axon S which also has a sliding mechanism, instead of sliding it down, you slide it to the right to see the front-facing cameras. There is also what appears to be touch-sensitive/capacitive controls probably for zooming in and out at the bottom. There is a chance the buttons are customizable, so you should be able to use them for volume controls or to adjust brightness.

When you slide the phone open, it also reveals the triple rear cameras on the back of the device arranged vertically. Below the sensors is a Xenon flash and at the far bottom, it is written that the ZTE Axon S has 5x optical zoom, a 48MP main sensor and a secondary 19MP sensor.

The design of the Axon S is really cool as you can’t see any of the cameras when the phone is closed. The back is just a slate of black glass devoid of any markings while the front is a gorgeous AMOLED display with a thin bezel at the bottom. Under the display is the fingerprint scanner. The renders also reveal the Axon S will have support for 5G and a USB type-C port at the bottom.

Mar 16, 2019

The Xiaomi Mi 9 SE was supposed to be available for purchase on Thursday, March 14, but it was canceled due to insufficient stock to warrant making it available for purchase.

Xiaomi‘s CEO, Lei Jun, announced yesterday that the phone will now go on sale on Tuesday, March 19. The Mi 9 SE will be available alongside the Mi 9 which already had its first sale but is still short on supply. There is no news yet of a new date for the Mi 9 Transparent Edition.

He also said in the post that he will join the production line if they are not able to meet the target of 1 million units of the Mi 9 series within the first month.

The Mi 9 SE is the cheapest of the three phones in the Mi 9 series and also the least powerful. However, it does pack some punch too. It is the first smartphone powered by a Snapdragon 712 processor which is the most powerful mid-range chipset currently.
