Additionally, the POCO India head Himanshu Tandon has recently revealed that the POCO C40 won’t be released in the Indian market. Himanshu responded to a user’s inquiry by saying, “We have transitioned 5 series. So no C40“. Let’s take a look at all the information available on the Redmi A1 to get an idea of what to expect from the POCO C50.

According to a recent Geekbench listing, the Redmi A1 will come with a quad-core MediaTek Helio A22 chipset. It will have 3GB of RAM and an Android 12-based operating system. Other than that, the FCC listing reveals that the device measures 164.67mm in length and 76.56mm in width. The device will support 2.4GHz WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity.

This variant is called the Redmi A1+ and has the model number 220733SFG. Tipster Simarpal Singh has revealed that this is a model equipped with a fingerprint reader. Other than the inclusion of a fingerprint sensor, other specs of the Redmi A1+ are expected to be the same as the upcoming Redmi A1. So let’s take a look at the specifications of the Redmi A1 to get an idea of what to expect from the Redmi A1+.

Redmi A1 specifications

So far, the various listings have revealed that the Remi A1 will come with a MediaTek Helio A22 chipset. This is quite an old chipset that has a quad-core processor with all four cores clocked at 2GHz.

The chipset will be complemented by 3GB of RAM. As for the operating system, the device will run Android 12 out of the box. Other than that, the Redmi A1 will offer connectivity options in the form of LTE, 2.4GHz WiFi, and Bluetooth 5.0. The device measures 164.67mm in length and is 76.56mm wide.

The A1+ will likely come with the same specs with a fingerprint sensor added to either the back of the power button. No other information is available on the device as of yet. So, stay tuned for future updates.

Vivo T2 model spotted on IMEI, could be launching soon

Sean — Mon, 09 May 2022 07:51:07 +0000

Just a couple of days ago, Vivo launched the T1 series of smartphones, which included the T1 5G, T1 Pro, and the T1 44W models. But now, a new sighting has revealed that the company is already working on a successor.

An IMEI database listing has revealed that the Chinese smartphone maker is working on a new Vivo T2. The news arrives from a 91Mobiles report, who found the device listed online. Although, the database did not include the model number for this handset. So, it is unclear if the variant is targeted for the global market or the Chinese market. But it is likely a Chinese version, since the brand typically launches its new lineup in its home market first. Similarly, the Indian launch for the Vivo T2 could also be just around the corner as well.

At the moment, the base T2 is the only model that was spotted on the IMEI database, but we can expect to see additional models within the T1 successor series to surface on other certification websites soon as well. Unfortunately, the specifications of the smartphone is still at large, but it is likely to be a 5G enabled handset that comes with better specifications than its predecessors. That is all the information we have as of right now so stick around for more, as we will be providing updates when additional information is available regarding this matter.

Xiaomi to soon launch a 5G version of the Redmi Note 11S

Zohaib Ahmed — Sat, 19 Feb 2022 07:54:21 +0000

The Redmi Note 11 series was launched late last month in the global market. Comprised of the Note 11, Note 11S, Note 11 Pro, and Note 11 Pro 5G, the quad-model lineup’s only 5G model was the Note 11 Pro 5G — and 4G phones are getting increasingly less popular. Xiaomi thus appears to be expanding the lineup further now with another 5G model, and its IMEI listing shows that will be called the Redmi Note 11S 5G.

Xiaomiui has spotted a new “K16B” model number on the IMEI database which is paired with an “opal” codename. The model number is very similar to the “K16A” that the POCO M4 Pro 5G and the Redmi Note 11 5G (China) have, making it likely that the new Note model could have near-identical specs to the other two.

The sole 5G model currently on the Redmi Note 11 lineup comes with the Snapdragon 695 chip, which is a budget offering. It is possible that Xiaomi now wants to add a Dimensity 5G chip to the mix. The POCO M4 Pro 5G and Redmi Note 11 5G (China) both feature the Dimensity 810 chip so the Redmi Note 11S 5G could sport the same.

Anyway, considering that the Redmi Note 11S 5G has made its IMEI database appearance, its release shouldn’t be too far off now. We should be getting our hands on more information in the coming days, so stay tuned.

POCO M4 Pro 5G could be yet another rebranded phone

Sudarshan Ravichandran — Fri, 01 Oct 2021 17:42:20 +0000

POCO M series is one of the popular budget smartphone lineups. The POCO M3 Pro 5G is currently the latest model in the lineup. As per multiple certifications, this device will be soon getting a successor in the form of POCO M4 Pro 5G.

POCO M3 Pro 5G

According to frequent MIUI tipster Kacper Skrzypek and Indian tipster Abhishek Yadav, a new POCO–branded handset called POCO M4 Pro 5G has been certified by agencies like EEC, 3C, and TENAA. The device is also listed in the IMEI database.

Going by these listings, the phone bears model numbers 21091116AG (Global) and 21091116AC (China). There could be other model numbers for different regions as well.

POCO brand is only present outside mainland China. Since this handset has a Chinese variant, it could be a rebranded Redmi smartphone.

At present, all we know is that it is a 5G-enabled phone with support for 33W charging via the above-listed certifications. That being said, we expect to learn more about it in the coming days.

The current-gen POCO M3 Pro 5G is a rebranded Redmi Note 10 5G with a different rear design. Perhaps, the upcoming POCO M4 Pro 5G could also be a rebadged Redmi Note series device.

Hopefully, the new handset brings upgrades over its predecessor. That’s because the POCO M2 Pro was sort of a better deal than its successor.

iQOO Z5 Pro will be the first-ever ‘Pro’ model in the Z series

Sudarshan Ravichandran — Tue, 07 Sep 2021 14:54:46 +0000

A new vivo group smartphone has been listed on TENAA. The same handset has been also spotted on the IMEI database. The two listings don’t say much about the device, except for its model number, branding, and cellular connectivity options.

iQOO Z3

The vivo group phone that has been found on TENAA and IMEI database has model number V2148A. As per the latter, the device will go official as iQOO Z5 Pro. Whereas, the former says that the smartphone will have support for 5G, in addition to 4G, 3G, and 2G.

Last month, the vanilla model of this handset called iQOO Z5 meant for India was also spotted on the IMEI database. This phone has model number I2018.

Unfortunately, apart from the above-mentioned information, we know nothing about these smartphones. But we can tell that these devices will replace the iQOO Z3.

The first iQOO Z series phone dubbed as iQOO Z1 was launched in May 2020. It was soon followed by a new model called iQOO Z1x a couple of months later.

Interestingly, the brand skipped iQOO Z2 and released iQOO Z3 in March 2021. Unlike the older models, this one also made its way to India a few months back in June.

Now, the company is all set to introduced iQOO Z5 and iQOO Z5 Pro by omitting the ‘4’ moniker as it is considered an omen in China. Also, this is the first time Z series will be getting a Pro variant.

vivo V21e will be succeded by vivo V23e

Sudarshan Ravichandran — Mon, 12 Jul 2021 06:45:19 +0000

Chinese handset maker vivo is yet to launch all the models in the vivo V21 series in India. However, the company has already begun to certify the lineup’s successor – vivo V23 series. One of the models in the upcoming series has been spotted on a database.

vivo V21e

According to a new finding by tech influencer Mukul Sharma (@stufflistings), the vivo V21 series will be succeeded by vivo V23 series. He has spotted a device part of this forthcoming lineup.

The handset that he has come across on the IMEI database is vivo V23e. This phone bears the model number V2116. Going by the branding, it will be the direct successor of vivo V21e.

Hence, we can expect the vivo V23e to be similar to the vivo V21e with some improvements. For those unaware, the vivo V21e comes in both 4G and 5G variants. Hence, the upcoming vivo V23e may also arrive in two versions.

The model that has been spotted appears to be the LTE version of the device. Because vivo is known for using 5G branding for its budget and mid-range handsets with 5G connectivity.

Unfortunately, it’s not known when vivo will be officially unveiling this phone. Anyway, we can expect features like an AMOLED display, three or more rear cameras, mid-range 4G-only SoC, 4,000mAh or more battery, 33W or faster charging, and a striking design.
