Oppo has been aggressive with new smartphone launches in its affordable “A” series throughout last year (2021). The Chinese tech giant is expected to follow the same footprints this year as well. With us hitting just the second week of January 2022, the brand is already done with a launch (Oppo A96) and is expected to add another model soon in India. The next model in offing is said to be the Oppo A16K. It isn’t an entirely new handset and is making it to the Indian shelves almost two months later its international launch.

Is Oppo A16K India Launch Soon?

The Oppo A16K is tipped to launch sometime soon in India. The leaked poster of the upcoming Oppo budget phone in India comes via Mahesh Telecom. The poster shows the same identical design as the international model with a waterdrop notch display and a gradient rear panel accommodating a square-shaped camera module on the top-left corner.

The Oppo A16K’s leaked poster image also shows the configuration and pricing along with all the key features. The variant listed is 3GB RAM and 32GB storage configuration. The price for this variant is mentioned Rs. 10,490. There is no confirmation if the handset will be launched with any other RAM or storage option or just the aforementioned model. But the report hints at the availability of just the listed variant. Also, the shades available would be black and blue.

Oppo A16K Specifications We Know Of

The Oppo A16K is a recently launched budget handset that broke its covers back in November in the international market (Philippines). The key features have also been confirmed by the teaser poster. This budget handset will be coming to India with the Helio G35 processor. The octa-core entry-level MediaTek SoC will be combined with PowerVR GE8320 GPU and 3GB RAM.

The device will come pre-installed with Android 11 OS and a custom ColorOS user interface. The teaser poster also confirms a 13MP main camera. Note, the international model is also equipped with a single 13MP lens. The Oppo A16K is coming to India with a 6.52-inch waterdrop notch display with standard 720p HD+ resolution. The notch will house a 5MP camera for selfies and video calls. The battery packed inside will measure 4,230 mAh in size with 10W charging support.  

Smartphone OEM’s have started lining up their new launches for the Indian market. Several brands have already announced the upcoming products which the Indian audience will receive in the coming days. Tecno is one of those OEMs which is expected to revamp its smartphone lineups in India and also bring its first 5G phone in the country. But it seems that the company will rather bring a budget Pop series handset rather than the 5G phone first. The upcoming series is speculated to be the POP 5 which was made official earlier in the international market.

Tecno POP Series India Launch Officially Confirmed

The Tecno POP series’ upcoming India launch has been confirmed by the dedicated microsite uploaded on the company’s official website. The product page only mentions the ‘POP’ series and doesn’t reveal which model will be introduced in the country first. We can expect the brand to add more details or update this page in the coming days with the exact variants and the launch timeline.

Separately, an online report suggests Tecno will initially launch the POP 5 LTE in the country. This model has been certified via BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) in the past which hints at an imminent launch. Also, its availability online is said to be via Amazon in India. This information seems valid since most of the recent Tecno devices have been made available via Amazon only in the country.

The online retailer might also put up a dedicated microsite for the upcoming handset on its portal. Once it is live, we will share the update on the same. Nevertheless, if Tecno is indeed gearing up to bring the POP 5 LTE in India via Amazon, we know what all specifications it would offer.

Tecno POP 5 LTE Features

The Tecno POP LTE is an entry-level device that runs on the Unisoc SC9863 processor. The octa-core budget chipset is supported by 2GB RAM for multitasking. The device has been announced with 32GB onboard storage in the international market. The same can be expected in India as well.

The Tecno POP 5 LTE has a 6.5-inch LCD display. The Dot Notch panel supports standard 720p HD+ resolution and 60Hz refresh rate. The waterdrop notch packs a 5MP selfie snapper. The imaging setup at the back is also basic comprising an 8MP AI main camera and a 0.3MP additional depth sensor.

Just a few days ago, the alleged official renders of the Moto Edge Stylus 2022 surfaced online. This revived hopes for users that demand a stylus pen-supported Android phone since the Galaxy Note series (only other popular smartphone lineup with stylus pen) cancellation rumors started doing rounds over the web. The Moto G Stylus 2022 is expected to be announced sometime soon in China. Amidst all the anticipations of an imminent launch, the entire specifications of the next-gen Moto stylus phone have been leaked.

Moto G Stylus 2022 Full Leaked Specifications Hints A Mid-Range Phone

The Moto G Stylus 2022 latest leak revealing all the key specifications comes via XDA Developers. The publication has suggested this upcoming Motorola smartphone bears the Milan codename and will be driven by the MediaTek Helio G85 processor. This might come as a bummer for most of the users that have been expecting a 5G-ready handset which is the new market trend.

Nevertheless, the processor used by Motorola is game-centric and has been used by several other popular mid-range 4G phones. The octa-core chipset will be paired up with Mali-G52 GPU, up to 6GB RAM, and 128GB storage configuration. For reference, the report suggests dual configurations including 4GB+ 128GB and 6GB + 128GB. The device will come with a dedicated microSD card allowing dual SIM and microSD support simultaneously.

Instead of the latest Android 12, the Moto G Stylus 2022 is said to come pre-installed with Android 11 OS. According to the report, the G Stylus 2022 will be flaunting a 6.78-inch IPS LCD display. The screen resolution would be FHD+ and the refresh rate is said to be 90Hz. The panel will have a punch-hole cutout that is said to store 16MP OV16A1Q selfie sensor.

The rear camera setup is leaked with a 50MP Samsung ISOCELL S5KJN1 main lens. It is said to be accompanied by an 8MP Samsung ISOCELL S5K4H7 ultra-wide-angle sensor, and a 2MP depth sensor. Speaking of the additional features, the Moto G Stylus is rumored with a side-mounted fingerprint scanner for security, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a USB Type-C port. The leak also hints at a 5,000 mAh battery. But instead of fast charging, it is tipped with regular 10W charging speeds.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 series has been officially announced last year and is ready to be revamped once again with the launch of the Note 11 JE.

Other leaked Redmi Note 11 JE’s include a 50MP Samsung JN1 main camera at the back and likely Android 11 OS-based MIUI 13 OS. This leak doesn’t bring details related to the exact number of additional sensors the Redmi Note 11 JE’s rear camera will offer and what sensor size would be the selfie snapper. The leak also hints at the presence of a 5,000 mAh battery which will support fast charging technology.
