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.

The fast-paced market of electronic devices has witnessed another beast of the phones released by Xiaomi, the Redmi Note 10. Revamped and introduced on March 4 this phone has a lot to it than what meets the eyes. Packed with a powerful processor and a newly introduced ‘Evol’ design, Redmi Note 10 might soon become the first choice of many.

Features

The Redmi Note 10 is packed to the brim with some of the most premium features of Xiaomi. Though the price may be slightly on the expensive side, yet the features provided tend to justify the price tag to some extent.

How It Displays And Captures A Moment?

The Redmi Note 10 comes with a 6.43-inch full-HD+ AMOLED display and produces colours that are vibrant and pop. This feature of the Redmi Note 10 allows it to reproduce even minute details which make for a super immersive experience.

The capturing of moments that you want to treasure is taken care of by the unique quad-camera setup with a 48 MP main camera with a Sony IMX582 sensor along with an 8 MP ultra-wide lens, two 2 MP lenses as depth, and a macro sensor to complete the quad-camera setup. 

The camera setup disappoints a little as Xiaomi has done nothing out of the ordinary except creating a unique design of arranging the lenses in a module that has a very catchy look. The selfie powers are provided by a 13 MP front camera placed in the punch-hole notch at the centre of the display.

The screen display is refreshed at a rate of 60 Hz so you won’t be facing any lag issues but the masterstroke Xiaomi plays to send the ball out of the park is the IP53 rating for splash and dust resistance that is very unusual at this price rate.

Performance

Probably the star of the show is Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 678 octa-core chipset that offers speeds up to 2.2 GHz paired with an Adreno 612 GPU and 4 GB RAM to make sure Redmi Note 10 redefines speed and smooth usage. Even graphics-intensive games run perfectly well without any significant heat generation proving a testament to Xiaomi’s investment into quality processing. 

The phone runs on an MIUI 12 built on Android 11. Even though it gets a little overwhelming with all the bloatware, Xiaomi has promised customers it will take care of the bloatware in the next MIUI update. The Redmi Note 10 though slim packs a large 5000 mAh battery that supports 33W fast charging and is claimed to fully charge in 74 minutes. Combined with a large battery and fast charging it’s pretty obvious that you won’t have to leave your phone alone at any point in the day.

What Else Can I Get?

Keeping aside the phenomenal display and the superfast processor, Redmi Note 10 also packs a few additional goodies. A Corning Gorilla Glass 3 makes up the screen. The phone also comes pre-applied with an adhesive-protective film. The Redmi Note 10 comes with a side-mounted fingerprint sensor that is superfast in its response.

The Redmi Note 10 costs Rs 13,999. This is a bit expensive. However, given the increase in taxes, Xiaomi has done a wonderful job at keeping the price of this phone low. The Redmi Note 10 promises a lot of premium features. This includes a crisp display with IP53 rating and a Snapdragon 678. Thesse features rival that of other phones in its niche.

The Redmi Note 10 is a very stiff competition. It is a perfect example of Xiaomi’s commitment to delivering quality phones at low budgets.

Vivo’s sub-brand iQoo freshly launched its new smartphone iQoo Neo 5. This an addition to the family of iQoo 5 and 5 Pro which were launched earlier in the latter half of 2020. The smartphone was launched on 16th March 2021 and is in a pre-sale mode in China, while it is yet to be launched in India.

The Neo 5 comes as a comparatively more affordable and efficient version after iQoo 5 in August last year. The smartphone boasts of optimized features enveloped in a lower price range than its previous products.

Specifications On Point: What Does The Phone Offer?

The 163.34 × 76.37 × 8.43 mm dimensions pack a sleek, electric design for a 196g lightweight device. The Neo 5 is available in three colours as of now— Night Shadow Black, Cloud Shadow, and Pixel Orange. 

Specially designed focusing on the needs of performance and gaming, the phone has a 6.62 inches Full HD touchscreen display with a resolution of 1080 × 2400 pixels. The pixel density is at 397 pixels per inch (PPI) and the aspect ratio is 20:9. Adding to the display quality is Samsung E3 Super AMOLED display with a 120Hz high refresh rate. 

The in-display fingerprint scanner in the smartphone combines with a touch response of 1000Hz which is absolutely awesome. It also comes with 120 frames per second (fps) gaming support and Turbo Boost 5.0 for optimal performance. 

A Snapdragon 870 octa-core processor powers the Neo 5. The Adreno 650 GPU makes the gaming and graphics possible. The smartphone comes with 8-12 GB of RAM and 128-256 GB of internal storage from its low-end to high-end version.

The Neo 5 software runs on OriginOS based on Android 11. The device has a Li-ion 4400 mAh battery backed up by a 66W fast charger. It can charge from 0-100% in barely 30 minutes, bringing the fast-charging technology to the edge. 

iQoo Neo 5 Camera

For the camera crazy out there, the iQoo Neo 5 packs 3 rear cameras—a 48 megapixel (MP) primary camera with optical image stabilization helped by an f/1.79 aperture; a 13 MP wide and ultra-wide angle camera with f/2.2 aperture; and 2 MP depth camera with f/2.4 aperture. The front has a 16 MP camera with an f/2.0 aperture. 

Its multiple shooting modes like Pro sports mode, RAW HDR, HDR Panorama night mode, Night mode 5.0, Extreme night vision 2.0, Super Night portrait, vlog mode, and more, make it the supreme camera-phone choice. 

Neo 5 with its connectivity options—GPS, Bluetooth (v 5.10), dual-band WiFi, NFC and USB Type-C— is one of the most versatile smartphones to come out recently. The phone supports Dual Nano-SIMs and 3G to 5G connectivity.

The sensor technology of the phone creates a smooth user experience — In-display fingerprint sensor, Magnetometer, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Ambient Light Sensor and Gyroscope. 

iQoo as an offshoot of Vivo attempts to bring technology to the affordable end of the spectrum with its newer launches, including the yet-to-be-announced but scheduled Qoo 7 later. Sticking to Vivo’s motto of “Camera & Music” the Neo 5 is targeting a broader income-group user base.

The price of the smartphones falls within the range of INR 33,800 to INR 41,600. This is a slight decrease from iQoo 5. Qoo 7 may be brought to India by the end of March. However, there has been no official information for iQoo Neo 5’s launch in the country.

Replacing its F17 Pro, Oppo released its F19 Pro and Pro+ this month and it is already getting quite some attention, for comparison-to-the-minute is the ultimate key in the mid-range smartphone market. Available in Fluid Black, Space Silver and Cosmo Blue the new smartphone is just 7.8 mm thick and 173 grams to weigh. 

Given the ridiculously sleek design, the Li-Polymer 4,310 mAh battery is a feat in a phone that has already been tested to not overheat while charging or using. The battery is backed up by a 30W fast-charging ability in Pro, and a 50W fast-charging in Pro+. 

A Sneak Peek Into Some Specifications

The front of the phone is a 6.43-inch screen along with a punch-hole camera in the top left corner. This is in contrast to the dual front camera in F17. 

The display is Super AMOLED type with a screen resolution of 1080×2400 pixels at 409 pixels per inch (PPI) pixel density and aspect ratio 20:9. The refresh rate of the phone is still the standard 60 Hz and much can’t be said as to why this wasn’t increased to something faster; though this isn’t much of a hindrance while using. 

Oppo F19 Pro is available in two variants— 8GB RAM+ 128GB internal storage, and 8GB RAM+ 256GB internal storage. For Pro+ only one variant with 8+128 GB is available. 

The octa-core MediaTek Helio P95 chipset, which is the same as used in F17, powers the F19 Pro. On the other hand, the MediaTek Dimensity 800U processor powers the F19 Pro+. The Pro+ processor supports 5G. The software is Android11 with ColorOS 11.1, making the user interface (UI) extremely responsive by allowing exciting wide-range personalization features. 

Oppo’s brand image sits on its popular taglines like “Capture the real you” and “Selfie expert”, for which reason it is the ‘camera phone’ in the market’s imagination. Oppo sticks to the image with F19 by using the tagline “Flaunt the nights”, hinting at its slow-lighting camera features. 

Camera Setup

The phone has a quad-camera setup at the back—a 48 megapixels (MP) Omnivision primary sensor with f/1.7 lens; an 8 MP ultra-wide-angle macro shooting camera with f/2.2 aperture; a 2MP macro camera and a 2 MP mono camera. The front camera is 16 MP with an f/2.4 aperture.

With F19 Pro+ the user also gets dual-video options where the front and the back cameras can shoot at the same time. AI highlight portrait video, AI scene enhancement 2.0, and few other additional night-time filters allow for brighter photos after sunset.  

A PowerVR GM9446 GPU and an octa-core processor maintains the phone’s performance. An in-display fingerprint scanner, USB Type-C, A-GPS, dual-band WiFi and Bluetooth 5.1 are some other features that lend to its efficiency and better connectivity. 

Oppo F19 Pro prices in India start from Rs.21,490 while F19 Pro+ costs Rs.25,990. With F19 Pro it seems Oppo is trying its best to tap into the mid-range smartphone market in India, which is a competitive space. Competition comes from brands like Vivo (V20 pro) and OnePlus (Nord) which have given us thinner, more stylish designs, quantitatively better displays and better camera and video quality, all costing under Rs.25,000.

Oppo seems to be just getting at the sweet spot. But for now, F19 Pro seems to be a step in the right direction.

Want to buy a Nokia phone for the memories and such? Don’t worry, these new phones even have good specs so that you are not stuck with a glitchy brick for the future. Here’s a look at the all-new smartphone(s) and their speculated features.

Nokia phones have been in the backseat for a long time, without any standout flagship contender for many years. The acquisition by HMD global, a Finnish company, has led the company to make cheap budget-friendly phones with an utmost focus on usability and software features. 

Nowadays any major smartphone company has a strong contender for the flagship spot of the year, some brands even have two flagship models(like Samsung with the Note Series or the S series) but Nokia on the other hand, doesn’t even bother making flagships.

Their last proper flagship would be the Nokia 9 Pureview, which had a Penta camera setup on the back. People were very excited when they first saw the teaser for a launch event that is scheduled for the 8th of April.

What We Know So Far

The launch event won’t be a first for Nokia because it had many such events when they were still partnered with Microsoft for the Lumia range of phones. That said this will be their proper launch event after the HMD brand has taken over operations. 

It’ll be interesting to see the format of the event and the number of products that they unveil. In the end, we still don’t know if the new products will include a flagship device.

The teaser contains a man in a seemingly dense forest looking at the sun shining down on him and the event invite uses a hashtag, #LoveTrustKeep. The teaser might seem vague but a keen eye could spot out the clues, let your imagination run wild! 

Rumour Mill: What’s In The Air?

The popular opinion dictates that Nokia should release the much-awaited successor to their Nokia 9 & Nokia 8.3 series albeit with a different naming scheme. Nokia G10 could be the new flagship smartphone that Nokia fans are waiting for. 

The specifications have not been confirmed but if the phone will be a flagship then it should have the Snapdragon 888 processor.

If the phone is aimed at a more budget-friendly audience then it could be a Snapdragon 775 processor and that is claimed to be a big upgrade compared to last year’s Snapdragon 765.

Some sources also state that there will be another quad-camera system with a 108MP sensor and a QHD+ screen with a 4000mAh battery.  

Other News & Opinions

There is a possibility that the brand decides to announce two more phones alongside the Nokia G10 which are speculated to be the X10 & X20.

These phones are aimed at the ultra-budget market with certain features that could punch above its weight class. These two phones will share the Snapdragon 480 chipset.  

According to us, this is turning out to be quite a lineup of phones for the coming year. If the brand delivers such a variety then all the popular budget categories can be met with these.

To make the G10 a popular contender there needs to be a few features that should be a must. 

These features include a 120Hz screen, a big battery(5000mAh or more), Zeiss optics, OZO sound technology, and an innovative design. It can then serve as a good enough successor to the Nokia 8.3 and Nokia 9 Pureview. 

Let’s keep an eye out for more rumours and if we are lucky some official information from the brand themselves. 

Are you a big fan of the POCO smartphone series? So, here is good news for you. Recently POCO teased the launch of their next flagship smartphone POCO X3 Pro on their social media handles. It can be pondered as the successor of the POCO F1. You can expect the launch of POCO X3 Pro by the end of the month, i.e. 30 March.

In 2018, POCO redefined the smartphone market with the release of their POCO F1. The device proves itself a beast in respect of specs and features. The company made everyone spellbound by bringing the Snapdragon 845 device under the price of 400 USD.

What did Post hint?

On Wednesday, Company hints at the launch of POCO X 3 Pro by tweeting through @IndiaPOCO. The tweet states, “Same madness, only more!” with the hashtag “#PROformance.” The post was specifically dedicated to the POCO users who have been with them since their beginnings.

While going through the post text, you will observe that there are several hints like “expectations”. In this word, ‘X’ is capitalized and boldly followed by “30 M” in “30 Months” and “21” in “2021.” However, it should note that no confirmation has been received for the same.

What is the expected Pricing of POCO X3 Pro?

Like any other phone, POCO X3 Pro is in the news for the last few days. Even there are some leaks and revelations of certification websites hinting about the model’s specs and features.

When we talk about the pricing, the model costs around EUR 250, i.e. approximately Rs. 21,600/-. This price is expected for the 6GB + 128 GB variant. On the other hand, the 8GB + 256GB variant will roughly cost around EUR 300, i.e. approx. Rs.26,000/-. In crux, the price will range from Rs. 21,000 to Rs. 30,000/- which can be a tough competition for OnePlus Nord, Realme X7, etc.

Moreover, the company may offer several colour options for buyers like Blue, Black, and Bronze to choose their favourite one.

Expected Specifications and Features – POCO X3 Pro

This model was considered to be the successor of the POCO F1. It means undoubtedly; the model will have more advanced features than F1. The X3 Pro may be available with a Full HD+ screen display with a refresh rate of 120 Hz.

Are you a game lover looking for seamless gaming sessions and a good battery backup? Then, POCO X3 Pro will be the best deal. Going by the innumerable leaks, it is expected that it will be powered with Qualcomm Snapdragon 860 SoC chipset. Even you can get a long battery backup with a 5,200mAh battery.

Furthermore, users will get 4G LTE, NFC, and dual-band Wifi like various features in this POCO model. But, the users can be a little disappointed as they will not get 5G connectivity.          

So, wait till March 30 to launch POCO X3 Pro for experiencing the “MADNESS” and real-time specs and features of the POCO model.

Both the mobiles are very budget specific with all the latest features. The Moto G30 comes with a well set up camera while the Moto G10 power comes with a well-built battery capacity. The Moto is always known for its battery capacity which provides durable usage on a single charge. Both the mobiles have well-built body quality where Moto G10 power has an attractive design on its back body. 

Also, the Moto G30 comes with a backflip where Moto G10 power is not provided on the cover. Both the mobiles have a 20W turbocharger. Both the mobiles have a quad-camera setup but with a variation in its resolution. 

Both the mobiles have the IP52 water-repellent, waterdrop notch design and its new ‘thinkshield’ technology where it claims full security and protection from malware. Also, both come in different colour options where Moto G10 power has Arora grey and Breeze blue colours, Moto G30 comes in Dark pearl and Pastel sky colours.

Both the mobiles powered by Moto are having good features which are very budget-friendly and it is a great choice for all the classes in India. Moto was never a bad choice for Indians which is one of the oldest brands in India that is standing as a piece of evidence to the statement, ‘Old is Gold’.

The current time has seen an increase in the usage of phones and electronics, this only means good news for Tech Giants. Tapping into this base of tech-savvy consumers, OnePlus is all set to release its new flagship in the form of the OnePlus 9 series.

The cheery at the top is the new partnership that OnePlus has committed to with Swedish camera technology giant Hasselblad. This new partnership promises breath-taking photo capabilities in the upcoming flagships from OnePlus.

The OnePlus 9 series is set to offer three variants namely: OnePlus 9 Pro, OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9E. The variants have been designed keeping in mind the consumer’s budget and the best features that can be included in the budget.

It all begins with a simple thought. Discover the #OnePlus9Series, co-developed with @Hasselblad, on March 23.

— OnePlus India (@OnePlus_IN) March 8, 2021

Discussing the Pro variant, OnePlus has amped up its design and features. The talk of the town being the Quad Camera setup designed in collaboration with Hasselblad which will use a custom Sony IMX789 image sensor.

The setup includes a 64MP Primary Camera, a 16MP Ultra-Wide-Angle Lens and a 12MP Telephoto Camera and a 2MP Depth Camera, which can capture perfect snaps. The camera will include a new Hasselblad Pro mode that shall offer better photo controls.

The camera will be shooting in 12 Bit RAW (64 billion possible colours) and offers 4K video recording at 120 fps (frames per second) and 8K video recording at 30 fps. The front camera consists of a 32 MP lens at the top left corner of the display.

Though the buzz around the OnePlus 9 Pro is about its phenomenal camera setup, the OnePlus has left no stone unturned in creating a beast of a phone packing the 9 Pro with a Snapdragon 888 processor under the hood combined with an 8 GB RAM to offer smooth running capabilities.

The display needs are looked after by an Adreno 660 GPU. The 9 Pro will come with an AMOLED type 6.78-inch display coated with Gorilla Glass v5 with a refresh rate of either 120 Hz or 140 Hz but we’ll have to wait to confirm that.

The screen has an aspect ratio of 20:9 and is designed in a bezel-less punch hole style. The Pro variant will come with a 4500 mAh battery which might be a little underpowered considering the top-notch features the phone offers but to make up for this the OnePlus 9 Pro offers a 65W wired fast charging (Warp Charging Technology) and 30W wireless fast charging.

The only possible hindrance in buying this phone is perhaps its storage capacity. The OnePlus 9 Pro offers 128 GB of non-expandable internal storage. Now 128 GB might seem enough but some might argue it is kind of a caging to offer non-expandable storage. The phone will run an Android v10 OS supporting 5G and is rumoured to have a price tag of Rs.51,999.

Coming to the younger siblings of the OnePlus 9 Pro, the OnePlus 9 is the closest to its elder sibling followed by the 9R. The OnePlus 9 comes with a similar setup in terms of processor, storage capabilities and display compared to the OnePlus 9 Pro. The only difference being in the camera setup. 

The OnePlus 9 offers a three-camera array at the back stylishly designed but lacking a few features. The camera setup includes a 64 MP primary camera accompanied by 16 MP and 8 MP lenses. This means that the camera setup lacks a telescope which could reduce its zooming capabilities. The screen size is a bit shorter than the OnePlus 9 Pro coming in at 6.55-inch and protected by a Corning Gorilla Glass v5. 

The display type is AMOLED with a refresh rate of 120 Hz. The OnePlus 9 will also have a Snapdragon 888 with 8 GB RAM and an Adreno 660 GPU inside and run an Android v10 OS supporting 5G. The phone will support 65W wired fast charging (Warp Charging Technology) and 30W wireless fast charging. The OnePlus 9 is rumoured to have a price tag of Rs. 46,999.

The youngest of the family and the low budget option in the series is the OnePlus 9E (which might also end up being called 9R or 9 Lite). Though the 9E is less-priced than the other two phones in the series, yet some features will make this phone the go-to phone for buyers in the mid-range once it hits the store shelves. 

The 9E comes with a quad-camera setup made up of a 48 MP primary lens accompanied by 16 MP, 8 MP and 2 MP lenses that complete the setup. The screen size of the OnePlus 9E is larger as compared to the OnePlus 9 coming in at 6.65-inches with an FHD+ display protected by Corning Gorilla Glass v5. 

The screen refresh rate stands at 90 Hz comparatively lower in the series but acceptable given the price range. Diving deep the 9E is powered by a Snapdragon 865 along with 6 GB RAM and an Adreno 650 GPU. The device has a 4500 mAh battery and supports 30W wired fast charging only.

All the three phones in the OnePlus 9 series come equipped with an in-screen fingerprint sensor and might include a matte or glossy finish back cover. All in all, it can be said that OnePlus is looking to prove its mettle in terms of camera technology while sticking true to its philosophy of offering better performance at economic price rates.

While many rumours are surrounding the OnePlus 9 series the one certain fact is that on March 23 2021 at 7:30 PM IST, the virtual launch of the series will bring every feature to the limelight for the buyers to admire.
