Surprisingly, One company, “Mi” from China, has risen significantly in the mobile market since 2015. They have launched one of the best phones in the market. And, today, they again came up with a fantastic featured smartphone of series 11.

Initially, Mi 11 was not released in India, but the company has confirmed Xiaomi Mi 11 series launch in India.

Xiaomi India officially announced the news by tweeting on Twitter right after the launch of Series 9 of OnePlus. 

The best part about this device is that they are coming with various models. As of now, they only launched Xiaomi Mi 11 in the market. On the 29th of March, they found two different Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro versions and Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra models. Both will be launched worldwide and in China too. They are also planning to provide a Lite version of Mi 11 in the market, but dates are not declared.

When Indian people be able to buy it?

As Xiaomi just announced about Mi 11, we can expect at least a week to be launched in the market. Moreover, Xiaomi also said that Indian would be able to get the Mi 11 from the first week of April. 

To make it more transparent and give surety to their users, they also said in the announcement that the registration of the IMEI number of model Mi 11 Ultra had been registered successfully. So the launch will not be so far.

Xiaomi Mi 11

It is the first model of the Mi 11 series with a powerful Snapdragon processor with chipset 888. It has a broader screen of 6.81 inch Quad HD and an OLED display with a refresh rate of 120Hz. The refresh rate is equal to the OnePlus nine series. Moreover, it has 1500 peak brightness and a 480Hz response rate.

If we talk about the camera, then the 108 MP full-featured primary camera and 20MP selfie mode camera. 

Specification of Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 

The model Mi 11 Like is like its name. It is only 150 grams of weight with a 6mm profile. Its lower budget has high-class features, like the 80Hz refresh rate and the 6.5 Full High Definition display. It has also had a 732G Snapdragon chipset.

As far as the camera is concerned, the primary camera is 64MP. And 8MP wide-angle camera with the feature of a telemicro 5MP shooter camera.

Specification of Mi 11 Ultra and Mi 11 Pro

As of now, Xiaomi hasn’t announced the release date of Mi 11 Pro and Mi 11 Ultra. They said that both these models would give you a premium look and features with some up-grading the camera department. Moreover, there are some rumours regarding a bigger battery, a new 50MP added camera, and interestingly, a second display on the backside. 

On the 23rd of March, we were expecting to get a closer look at the OnePlus 9R at the OnePlus 9 launch event. However, the delay has kept us waiting.

As OnePlus already has a series of budget smartphones in the Nord, we expect the upcoming OnePlus 9R to sit between the Nord and the OnePlus 9 series — in terms of specifications as well as the price.

In one of the recent interviews, OnePlus CEO Pete Lau confirmed that they would release the OnePlus 9R and an India-exclusive device, aiming to reach one more price point with this model for its customers. Surprisingly, this was the first official mention of the affordable flagship, and the company hasn’t revealed much information. 

In one of the news 8 interviews, Lau said that it would be a smooth scrolling, immersive gaming controls, and a superior viewing experience to bring out a flagship-like experience. 

Release Date & Price 

Although OnePlus confirmed 9R exists, it wasn’t released with the rest of the OnePlus 9 series.

Most of the OnePlus flagship phones are priced over Rs 40,000 and the budget-friendly range is priced below Rs 30,000. The OnePlus 9R might be priced between Rs 35,000 to 40,000. The company has not had a lot of devices in this range in recent years as it has shifted its focus to bring about more premium offerings.

The actual bit of information is that the OnePlus 9R will be cheaper compared to the OnePlus 9 series.

As for the release date, it looks like the OnePlus 9R will be an India-exclusive device as they haven’t mentioned it being globally available, but even then we wouldn’t know when it will be announced or released.

Oneplus 9R Specs & Features

• 5G device 
• Chipset: As it is a flagship model it could be one of these- the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888, the Snapdragon 870 or last year’s Snapdragon 865. 
• Could be a gaming phone 

According to a teaser on Amazon, the OnePlus 9R will contain physical shoulder triggers, which not only tells that it could be a gaming phone but also suggests that the company will launch accessories at some point related to gaming.

• 120 Hz 6.55-inch AMOLED display 

• Bigger battery 
• Fast charging 
• Camera 

Awaited to see if it gets a Hasselblad camera upgrade like the other models in the series.

What’s In It For Us?

A Larger Battery

The confirmation has arrived. The One Plus models are ready to sport a powerful battery power of 4500 mAh. Since the OnePlus 9R will be a gaming phone we hope for a longer battery life

65W Fast Charging

The new OnePlus devices are amongst the faster-charging smartphones available in the market. It takes just about 30-40 minutes for a full charge. We would like to see 65W charging on this device as well as it would play a major role in increasing the charging game. 

Capable Cameras

With the OnePlus 9 devices, the OnePlus has teamed up with Hasselblad to improve the camera experience. With the 9R being a gaming device, usually, the camera quality wouldn’t be the first priority. We would, however, like to see a Hasselblad collaboration with this device as well.

Xiaomi is about to host a Spring conference on March 29 in China. The company is also expected to host a global event to launch new products. We are expecting Xiaomi’s flagship device, the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra to make an appearance along with the Mi 11 Lite, which is likely to be launched. The Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite is expected to be seen in two variants – 4G and 5G. The complete spec sheet, images and pricing were leaked ahead of the launch by tipster Sudhanshu.

Specifications Of Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite

According to the leaked information, this model will be the slimmest phone of this season. The Mi 11 Lite is said to be of only 6mm thickness which is steps ahead in the competition as most phones these days come with 7.5 mm to 10mm thickness. 

This device is also said to be ultra-light as it weighs only 150 grams, again undercutting the competition by a big margin. But, because the phone is so slim, it misses out on the headphone jack, which could come as a disappointment to some.

Display 

When it comes to the display, the Mi 11 Lite has a 6.55-inch Full HD + AMOLED display with a refresh rate of 90 Hz offering a hassle-free and lag-free experience. The device is to be operated with a Snapdragon 732G chipset, which is also used in the Poco X3 and the Redmi Note 10 Pro in India. 

RAM+Storage

The Mi 11 Lite 4G is said to be available in two configurations: 6 GB RAM  + 64 GB Internal and 6 GB RAM + 128 GB Internal.

Colours

It will also be released in three colour variants – blue, black and pink.

Camera

The Mi 11 Lite is said to have a triple camera system consisting of a rear camera with a 64-megapixel primary lens, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera and a 5-megapixel tele-macro shooter that’ll make sure you have the crispiest of clicks and the brightest of colours. 

There hasn’t been any information on the selfie camera as of now. That’s one thing you’ll have to wait on. The handset runs on MIUI 12 based on Android 11 and offers a lot of personal customisations, a trademark of the MIUI.

Battery

The phone comes with a 4,250mAh battery, which is acceptable but a little underwhelming. It also comes with a 33W fast charger in the box and combined with the battery.

Other mentioned specifications are Bluetooth 5.2, NFC and a microSD card slot to offer better connectivity and extra storage when required.

Chipset 

The 5G variant of the Mi 11 Lite comes with either a Snapdragon 765G or a 775G SoC. Both of these have a tremendous clock speed of up to 2.4 GHz. Paired with an Adreno 618 GPU, the Mi 11 Lite promises a commendable performance at its price tag.

That’s all for today. All in all, Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite is a great catch for its price and sports a bomb spec ration with a dazzling interface. We hope you liked this article and will come back for more. Till then, stay tuned to our website for more such informational content.

The announcement of the Realme GT already had customers amped up with the promise of a next-generation gaming phone. However, the announcement of Realme GT Neo is probably the icing on the top. With a new IMEI number being spotted in the Indian IMEI database, it is just a matter of time before Realme announces the Realme GT Neo for release in India.

Why The Excitement?

Realme’s recent announcement featured the launch of the first flagship Realme GT. The Realme GT Neo will be the second flagship phone and promises a top-end set of equipment.

Though many rumours are surrounding Realme GT Neo there is one thing we know for sure, that is, this phone will combine the best gaming experience with the best camera quality. Realme had announced that will primarily focus on camera quality so it is obvious that the Realme GT Neo will come with a cutting-edge camera setup.

Realme GT Neo Power & Looks

It is rumoured to come with a triple camera setup and not much is known about the sensors though it may probably use the latest sensors choosing between the Samsung 108 MP ISOCELL HM3 or the Sony IMX686

Much like the camera setup, the looks on the Realme GT Neo are mysterious too and maybe similar to its sibling the Realme GT but we still have a few features that seem logically correct. The Realme GT Neo will be Realme’s first phone with curved edges. 

It is expected to come with a 6.55-inch AMOLED display with a punch-hole cutout on the top left corner for a selfie snapper and a 120 Hz refresh to provide a lag-free experience. The Realme GT Neo is well set to become one of Realme’s most elegant phones.

GT NEO Specification

The Realme GT Neo will have a processor that will blow you away. The talk of the town is the processor that the Realme GT Neo will pack under its hood.

Freshly out of the production houses, MediaTek’s latest innovation, the MediaTek Dimensity 1200 processor an octa-core processor with a top speed of 3 GHz, this processor will offer you the smoothest experience you can find. 

The Realme GT Neo will be one of the first phones to use this processor and this is arguably the best feature in the Realme GT Neo.

What More Does It Offer?

The Realme GT Neo comes in two variants probably with 6 GB RAM or 8 GB RAM. The Realme UI 2.0 built on top of Android 11 will power it. The only letdown in the Realme GT Neo is a smaller 4400 mAh battery that many would have expected to be a little heavier. The phone will support fast charging. However, it hasn’t been confirmed whether it will be 30W fast charging or 65W fast charging.

With many rumours surrounding the Realme GT Neo and also the possibility that the new mysterious IMEI added to the Indian IMEI database may not at all be the Realme GT Neo, the only relief is the pain-staking wait won’t last for long and soon we might have the Realme GT Neo up for grabs at our fingertips.

Xiaomi’s sub-brand Poco’s X-series will be launching Poco X3 Pro globally on March 22, 2021. It will set foot in the Indian market on March 30, 2021. 

The company has officially declared that the unveiling will take place in an online event scheduled for 20:00 GMT+8 (5:30 pm IST) on March 22. The Poco X3 was launched globally in September last year. The Pro version, however, is going to come to India in March itself.

Here’s All We Know!

Poco came out as an offshoot of Xiaomi back in 2018 with its first smartphone Poco F1. It was separated from the parent brand last year before its second phone came out. 

Speculations are already in the air which suggests that the new phone could be very similar to Poco X3, or even Redmi K40. Apparently, a Vietnamese e-retailer recently listed the X3 Pro’s renders on its website by mistake. 

As per the leaked details, the phone would have a 6.67-inch Full HD+ display. A distinct rumour is about its better screen protection. The smartphone is expected to have Gorilla Glass 6 protection which is tougher and more durable than the last-gen Gorilla Glass 5 screen protection.

The phone was apparently listed to be 9.4 mm thick and 215 mm in weight and to be running on Android 11 out-of-the-box. It will most probably be available in three colours— Frost Blue, Metal Bronze, and Phantom Black. 

The camera gear is a circular rear quad-camera setup with a 64 megapixel (MP) primary sensor, an 8 MP ultra-wide-angle shooter, and two 2 MP sensors. It may also have a 20 MP front camera sensor. 

Performance

A Qualcomm Snapdragon 860 SoC powers the phone. This was an unannounced specification that may debut alongside the phone. The previous X3 ran on Qualcomm Snapdragon 732G. 

Two variants with 6 GB+ 128 GB and 8GB + 256GB UFS 3.1 storage are expected. It may also have microSD card support for storage expansion of up to 1TB. Additionally, it may have a 5,200mAh battery with 33W fast charging support. The Indian version might come with an even bigger 6000mAh battery.

For better connectivity and accessibility the phone appears to have GPS/ A-GPS, 4G LTE, Wi-Fi 802.11ac, Bluetooth 5.0, NFC, and a headphone jack. The leaked info also suggests a side-mounted fingerprint sensor and a 120Hz refresh rate. 

Poco is counting on the better overall performance of its new smartphone as the USP against its cost. While comparing the Poco X3 Pro with the previous version, it seems to have a higher AnTuTu benchmark score of around 500k.  

The 6GB+128GB variant might cost roughly between Rs.21,700-Rs.23,300 ($300-$322). Past leaks and assumptions suggest that the high-end variant might cost somewhere near Rs.28,000.Recent information puts the pricing of the 8GB+256GB variant at around Rs.25,200 ($348). 

All in all the Poco X3 Pro remains speculation until 5:30 pm IST, March 22, 2021. Its brand-new processor, lightweight, OS, and camera performance are things to look forward to and analyze how much justice the product does to the pricing.    

Focusing on bringing Indian smartphones to the limelight, Micromax has taken a positive step towards its goal. Micromax In 1, released on 19th March 2021, is the latest phone in the budget-friendly Micromax In Series.

 What You Get

Ahead of the launch, there was an armada of rumours surrounding the Micromax In 1. And most of these rumours have come true. The Micromax In 1 has a plethora of features all for a very modest price tag.

Clicks And Tasks

The Micromax In 1 focuses on the lower end of the budget sector. However, it makes no compromise in offering smooth performance and phenomenal photos. Boasting a triple camera setup with a 48 MP main snapper and two 2 MP sensors, the Micromax In 1 can click very detailed pictures.

Under the hood, the Micromax In 1 comes with a MediaTek Helio G80 octa-core processor with speeds up to 2 GHz paired with an ARM Mali G52 GPU. While many were expecting a bit more on the processor side but Micromax In 1 brings a notable combination to the market.

What’s Unique

Micromax re-entered the arena of the budget of phones in India with two very successful models. One of them being the new Micromax In 1. Offering a stunning body, a beautiful design, lag-free processing, and seamless clicks at budget-friendly prices. The Micromax In 1 offers its first variant of 4 GB RAM & 64 GB internal for Rs 9999. While the second variant of 6GB RAM & 128 GB internal is offered for Rs 11499. These low prices can make Micromax In 1 a very popular and budget-friendly option for customers.

Micromax, after two successful launches, is planning to release the Micromax In 1, a phone that guarantees you the best in class performance without creating a crater in your wallet. Set to release on 19th March 2021 the In 1 may very well be the giant slayer in its class, competing against some prominent phones in its price range.

 Micromax In 1 will be following its elder siblings In Note 1 and 1b. While Note 1 is on the higher end and 1b on the lower end, In 1 is expected to be the bridge between the two.

Features

Micromax In 1, Micromax’s latest endeavour, has a promising set of features that will surely be gaze-turners and force buyers to give this phone a second look.

Looks & Captures:

The Micromax In 1 share its display specs with the Micromax In Note 1 and comes equipped with a 6.67-inch Full HD+ resolution screen with a rumoured 21:9 aspect ratio and punch hole cut-out for the selfie camera. Micromax has also paired up the display in the front with a Triple Camera setup at the back. 

The camera setup includes a main 48 MP snapper along with two 2MP cameras which may be a depth sensor and macro sensor most probably. The main drawback to this camera setup is the absence of an ultra-wide lens unlike the In Note 1. The front camera is an 8 MP lens placed in the centre punch-hole cut-out. The phone will have a 60 Hz refresh rate to ensure a lag-free and smooth display.

 Under the Hood

The tech inside the Micromax In 1 is probably the crown jewel on the phone. The MediaTek Helio G80 octa core processor supports the Micromax In 1. This is a very budget-concious gaming processor. The octa-core processor offers a speed of up to 2 GHz. It is ideal for gamers on a budget and fast response on the rear-mounted fingerprint sensor. 

The Micromax In 1 will have multiple variants in terms of the memory. It offers with a maximum of 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage. A 5000mAh battery that supports 18W fast charging will power the phone. The phone will come with a stock Android 10 without ads and software updates for upgrading to Android 11 and 12.

The Cherry On The Top

While the market is buzzing with the features and the expected performance of the Micromax In 1, the phone also holds a symbolic value. The Micromax In 1 has been completely developed within India starting from its design, its R&D, and right down to its manufacturing. Micromax In 1 is a shining example of Make in India.

Not much news is available about the pricing of the Micromax In 1. However, it is rumoured that it will be priced in the range of Rs 10,000 which will justify its position between its two previous models.

The Buzz

There is a huge variety of mid-budget models in the market. Micromax In 1, however, stands out from the crowd. It is unrivalled as it offers a smooth gaming experience along with a stunning display and a humongous battery. 

The launch on March 19 will surely turn some heads. It might even be a testament to the fact that mid-budget phones can be designed to rival if not excel top-end phones in their performance. Micromax In 1 has a lot of features to offer. However, its lack of an ultra-wide lens is a bit disappointing given its decent but not that good camera setup, in comparison to its competitors.
