Xiaomi is now getting all the attention for its upcoming Redmi Note 11T 5G in India. The device will be arriving as the rebadged version of the Redmi Note 11 5G which was announced earlier this year in China. An exclusive report by 91Mobiles today confirmed its launch timeline which is scheduled for November 30 in the country. Now, a fresh leak has surfaced online courtesy MoneyControl and tipster Yogesh Brar have shared the pricing details of the Redmi Note 11T 5G in the Indian market. Is it worth the competition? Let’s find out:

Xiaomi Redmi Note 11T 5G Expected India Pricing Leaked

According to the report, the Redmi Note 11T 5G will be available with the same configurations as the Chinese variant. The base model which will pack 6GB RAM and 128GB storage configuration is said to be tagged at Rs. 17,999. On the other hand, the Redmi Note 11T 5G with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage configuration will be announced at Rs. 19,999.

The report further suggests the company will be introducing a 64GB variant as well. However, the pricing of this model hasn’t been confirmed just yet. The color options and design would be likely the same as the Chinese counterpart. The color options expected are Mint Green, Mysterious Black, and Galaxy Blue.

Does This Pricing Make Redmi Note 11T 5G Better Mid-Range Competitor?

Before we give a verdict on this, let’s give a quick look at the expected Redmi Note 11T hardware. As suggested by the recent exclusive report by 91Mobiles, the Redmi Note 11T Pro 5G is not entirely a new device rather a rebadged version of the vanilla Redmi Note 11 5G. The handset will use the Dimensity 810 octa-core processor clubbed with up to 8GB RAM and 128GB storage configuration.

The Redmi Note 11T 5G will be flaunting a 6.67-inch AMOLED display with 1080p FHD+ resolution. The panel will feature a punch-hole cutout housing a 16MP selfie camera with an f/2.2 aperture. Additionally, the display will offer a 90Hz refresh rate for better frame transitions with high-end gaming.

The Redmi Note 11T 5G’s imaging setup would also be identical to the standard Redmi Note 11 5G. There will be dual cameras at the back where the primary sensor would be a 50MP lens with an f/1.8 aperture and an 8MP sensor for ultra-wide-angle frames. The battery expected to power the Redmi Note 11T 5G is a 5,000 mAh unit accompanied by 33W quick charging technology.

Now, whether or not this handset makes it a good competition; let’s break it down. If we compare the pricing, then the Redmi Note 11T 5G’s primary competition includes the Realme 8S 5G and the Lava Agni 5G. Both these handsets have been launched recently in the Indian market and are driven by the Dimensity 810 5G SoC.

The features packed in all three handsets are somewhat similar. Some differences here and there. The Redmi Note 11T 5G is a good handset on paper and is competitive in the mid-range segment. But, it would have got larger popularity with a lower price tag.

Xiaomi had refreshed its mid-range Redmi smartphone lineup with the launch of the Redmi Note 11 series earlier this year. However, all three models were introduced in China and are yet to make their global debut. The Redmi Note 11 5G has been re-labeled as the Poco M4 Pro 5G for some of the international markets. But it seems that the company wouldn’t be following the same strategy with this handset for the Indian market. A new report has revealed that we will see a slightly different Redmi Note branding only and not a Poco moniker.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 11T To Launch Instead Of Poco M4 Pro 5G/ Redmi Note 11 5G

An exclusive report by 91Mobiles suggests Xiaomi is gearing up to bring the Redmi Note 11 5G in India rebadged as the Redmi Note 11T 5G. The report in association with tipster Ishan Aggarwal suggests the company will be launching the new premium mid-range handset later this month in the country. The launch is scheduled for November 30 as per the report.

It is worth mentioning that the only mention is of the Redmi Note 11T 5G’s launch on the aforementioned date. The report doesn’t confirm the availability of the remaining variants. Therefore, it can’t be said for sure if Xiaomi is planning to introduce just a single model first and then the remaining variants.

If it’s opting for the latter strategy, then then the timeline, as well as the moniker for the remaining models, remains a mystery for now. It would be interesting to see if all the models are launched this year itself or will get delayed till next year.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 11T 5G Full Specifications, Features

Since the Redmi Note, 11T 5G is said to be rebranded Redmi Note 11 5G, we know what all features to expect. The handset will be announced with a 6.6-inch display that will have 1080 x 2400 pixels FHD+ resolution and a higher 90Hz refresh rate.

There will be a punch-hole camera cutout that will accommodate a 16MP selfie snapper. The Xiaomi Redmi Note 11T 5G’s rear cameras will include a 50MP main camera with an f/1.8 aperture and an 8MP ultra-wide-angle sensor.

Under the hood, we will get to see the Dimensity 810 processor based on a 6nm fabrication process and backed by 5G network support. It is expected with up to 8GB RAM and 128GB storage configuration. Rounding off the Redmi Note 11T 5G’s spec-sheet would be a 33W fast charging supported 5,000 mAH battery unit.

Samsung has been creating mystery surrounding the Galaxy S21 FE’s launch. The company even took down the official support page which fueled rumors of a canceled launch. It is now anticipated to debut sometime in early January 2022. The handset was recently spotted at the FCC mobile certification platform where its battery capacity was confirmed. Now, the official renders along with the key specifications have surfaced.

Samsung Galaxy S21 FE Leaked Official Renders Shows Complete Design

In an exclusive report by CoinBRS, the entire design of the Galaxy S21 FE has been revealed. The handset can be seen with a slim profile with narrow borders and a punch-hole positioned at the center-top of the display. The rear panel is seen with a single-tone finish and a vertically aligned camera setup on the upper left corner. The camera module’s design is familiar to the remaining Galaxy S21 series models.

The leaked official renders also confirm the placement of the power and the volume keys on the right panel. The report further reveals four different color options including black, cream, lavender, and white. The USB Type-C port will be placed at the bottom. That said of the design, the following are the Galaxy S21 FE’s rumored specifications.

Samsung Galaxy S21 FE Specifications Also Leaked

This report has also detailed the complete specifications of the Galaxy S21 FE. The upcoming premium mid-range phone will be driven by the Snapdragon 888 SoC and the Exynos 2100 processor depending on the markets. In India, we will likely see the Exynos variant which will have Mali G78 GPU support. We might get to see up to 12GB RAM and 256GB storage configuration. It will ship with Andriod 11 OS wrapped around OneUI skin.

The report further hints the Galaxy S21 FE will be announced with a 6.4-inch AMOLED display with an FHD+ resolution. It will have a higher 120Hz refresh rate. The panel will be protected by the Corning Gorilla Glass layer on top. The camera setup will include a 64MP primary sensor accompanied by an ultra-wide-angle sensor and a depth sensor. Powering it will be a 4,500 mAH battery which will come with 15W fast charging support.

Oppo is making all the noise with its upcoming Reno7 smartphone lineup. Just recently, the live images of the Reno7 Pro were leaked online revealing a flat-screen design instead of the curved-edge design like its predecessor. Now, a fresh report courtesy 91Mobiles has suggested the Reno7 series India launch timeline. Details are as follows:

When Is Oppo Reno7 Series Launching In India?

The report shared by 91Mobiles suggests the Reno7 series will be announced in January 2022 in India. The Reno7, Reno7 Pro, and the Reno7 SE are expected to be announced in the upcoming premium mid-range series. However, the report suggests the company will be initially bringing only the vanilla Reno7 and the Reno7 Pro and skip the SE variant.

There were rumors that the brand will also introduce the Reno7 Pro Plus model. However, later the rumors suggested the company will be replacing this variant with the Reno7 SE instead. There has been no confirmation regarding the same from the company. But, the exact variants are also unspecified by the brand as of now.

The Reno7 series will be making its debut in the international market earlier than India. If we go by the rumors, the company will be launching the Reno6 series’ successor later this month or in December in China.

Oppo Reno7 Series Expected Specifications And Features

We’ll start with the Reno7 Pro variant whose design was recently revealed via a leaked live image on Weibo. The handset is now tipped to feature a flat-screen display with slim bezels on all sides and a punch-hole cutout. It might be an OLED panel measuring 6.5-inches. The display will support 1080p FHD+ resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate.

The Reno7 Pro is rumored to pack the Snapdragon 778G/ Snapdragon 888 SoC clubbed with up to 12GB LPDDR4 RAM and 256GB UFS 3.0 storage. The Pro variant’s camera setup is speculated to comprise a 50MP Samsung GN5 sensor, a 64MP ultra-wide-angle lens, and a 13MP telephoto lens. The handset will have a 32MP selfie snapper packed inside the in-display camera cutout upfront.

The standard Reno7 is rumored to be powered by the Dimensity 1200 SoC. The RAM and storage configuration is the same as the Pro model. The main camera here will be a 50MP lens combined with a 16MP and a 2MP depth sensor. The battery capacity is likely to be the same on both models, i.e, a 4,500 mAh unit. It will be aided by 65W fast charging technology.

Oppo is all set to bring its new premium mid-range smartphone series called the Reno7. Expected to launch later this month, the new lineup is said to tag along the Reno7 SE and the Reno7 Pro alongside the vanilla Reno7. Multiple leaks have surfaced online giving insight into the design as well as the expected features of all three models. Some leaks suggested a curved edge design for the Reno7 Pro. However, the fresh set of leaked live images suggest otherwise.

Oppo Reno7 Pro Live Images Hints Changed Design

Tipster Abhishek Yadav has shared the Reno7 Pro’s leaked live images which have been sourced from the Chinese microblogging website Weibo. The image shows the fascia of the handset flaunting a tiny punch-hole placed on the upper left and slim borders (chin included). However, unlike the previous leaks that suggested a curved edge design, this leaked image shows a flat panel.

This suggests Oppo has opted for a design change compared to the previous-gen model. Just for reference, the Reno6 Pro features a curved edge display and the same was being tipped multiple times for the Reno7 Pro. The placement of the keys is not visible. However, it appears the volume keys are placed on the left, while the power key is on the right spine. Unfortunately, the rear panel’s design has not been shared. Therefore, it would be difficult to guess what all changes we will get to see there.

Oppo Reno7 Pro Leaked Specifications

The Oppo Reno7 Pro has been a constant visitor at the rumor in the last few months. The high-end model in the upcoming Reno7 series is speculated to be powered by the Snapdragon 888 processor. However, some other leaks have also suggested the Snapdragon 778G SoC. The exact processor driving the Reno7 Pro would only be confirmed once the company drops any official teasers.

That said, the Reno7 Pro is likely to arrive with up to 12GB LPDDR5 RAM and 256GB UFS 3.1 storage. It is yet to be confirmed if there will be any additional storage support (via microSD card). The rumors have tipped a 6.5-inch FHD OLED display. The refresh rate is said to be 90Hz instead of 120Hz which we expect from a premium range phone.

The Reno7 Pro camera specifications are likely to include a 50MP Samsung GN5 sensor with OIS support and a 64MP OmniVision ultra-wide-angle sensor. The rear camera setup will have an additional 13MP Samsung S5k3M5 telephoto sensor, while for selfies there will be a 32MP Sony IMX615 sensor upfront. A 65W fast charging supported 4,500 mAH battery is said to complete the package.

Oppo is all set to launch a new 5G smartphone for the budget audience. The upcoming handset will be joining the company’s affordable “A” smartphone lineup and arrive as a successor to the Oppo A55 launched earlier this year. Called the Oppo A55s 5G, the handset has been making consistent splashes online via leaks. Now, the device has been spotted at Geekbench which hints it’s in the final testing phase and might get announced soon. The processor, configuration, and benchmark details have also been revealed by the benchmark websites. Details are as follows:

Oppo A55s 5G Key Features Listed At Geekbench

The Oppo A55s has stopped by Geekbench with the CPH2309 model number. The handset has been first spotted by tipster Mukul Sharma who shared the details on Twitter. According to the listing, the Oppo A55s will be powered by an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor which will have six cores clocking at 1.80Gz and two cores clocking at 2.40GHz. The tipster suggests it to be the Snapdragon 480 SoC which is an entry-level 5G processor by Qualcomm.

Furthermore, the Geekbench database suggests the Oppo A55s will have a 4GB RAM configuration. It is yet to be clear if the company will introduce any other high-end RAM model or will launch it with just a 4GB RAM option. Also, this leak doesn’t specify the storage capacity. However, the possibility of a 64GB/ 128GB storage capacity can’t be ruled out.

We can also expect the device to ship with an external microSD card support for additional storage space. What remains to be seen is if the brand opts for a 3-way dedicated SIM card tray or a hybrid slot. Apart from the processor, the Geekbench listing has also confirmed Android 11 OS. This will be topped with a custom ColorOS interface on top.

The only other detail revealed is the benchmark scores. The Oppo A55s managed to achieve 510 points in the single-core test, whereas in the multi-core test it logged 1,592 points. That’s pretty much all the information that the Geekbench listing has revealed related to the upcoming budget Oppo 5G handset.

Oppo A55s Also Certified Via TUV Rheinland

Separately, the Oppo A55s has also made an appearance on the TUV Rheinland certification website. Only the battery capacity has been confirmed by this listing (shared by the same tipster). The device is said to launch with a 4,980 mAh battery and will also have fast charging support.

As of now, other Oppo A55s 5G features such as display and camera are under the wraps. But rumors are rife this model will be identical to the Oppo A54 5G which was launched earlier this. Until Oppo confirms the details, we would suggest you take this information as a grain of salt.

Motorola has several budget smartphones in the pipeline which will likely see the light of the day in the coming months. We recently leaked the Moto G Power 2022 in full entirety. Now, another Moto G series handset has cleared its certification from the Chinese mobile authentication website TENAA. The latest handset in this affordable series would be the Moto G71. The images and the specifications of the handset have been listed on the certification platform.

Moto G71 Design, Key Features Revealed Via TENAA Listing

The Moto G71’s TENAA listing with the XT2169-1 model number has been first spotted by Whylab. The Chinese tipster has shared the details on Weibo. The leaked images on the certification website show both fasciae as well the rear panel. The front panel of the handset can be seen sporting a punch-hole camera cutout. At the rear, the Moto G51 will have a shimmering tone and a vertically-aligned camera module on the upper left corner.

The Moto G71 will also have the iconic Moto’s “M” logo placed at the center of the back panel. However, it is hard to figure out from the images if a fingerprint scanner would be embedded within the logo or it will have a side-mounted fingerprint scanner which is the latest norm with a budget and mid-range smartphones. The right panel is seen housing both power as well as the volume keys.

Coming to the Moto G71’s leaked features, the TENAA listing mentions an unnamed octa-core processor. The device will also have 5G network support. It remains to be seen if the company will employ a Qualcomm Snapdragon or MediaTek Dimensity processor to power the upcoming budget 5G phone. The tipster hints at the Snapdragon 480 Plus SoC which is the same as the previous-gen model (Moto G51). Just for reference, the Moto G51 is driven by the Snapdragon 480 Plus SoC.

Additionally, the Moto G71 is tipped to pack a tall 6.4-inch OLED display which will support 1080 x 2400 pixels FHD+ resolution. The camera specifications are yet to be revealed. However, the handset is tipped to feature a 4,700 mAh battery along. It will likely have fast charging support as well, but the details are at large as of now.

When Is Moto G71 Going Official?

As of now, Motorola has not announced the Moto G71’s launch plans. However, the rumor mill hints at an imminent launch (likely this month). If this is correct, Motorola might soon start releasing official teasers for the upcoming handset confirming the features as well as the launch timeline.
