Mi Band 5 ; Expected to Launch in June-End

Mi Band 5 is coming, at least that's what leaks and rumours have been suggesting for months now. Given that we are nearing the one-year anniversary of Mi Band 4's original launch in China, it isn't far-fetched to assume that Xiaomi will be hard at work on its successor and will probably launch it soon. So, even though we are still waiting for a concrete release date, a report claims to bring word of Mi Band 5 features that is tipped to support Amazon's Alexa voice assistant.

Mi Band 5 launch date (expected)

According to a report by website Tizen Help, Mi Band 5 that will be built by Huami – the company behind Amazfit wearables and previous Mi Band models – will be unveiled in June-end or the first half of July. The smart band is said to make its debut in China, followed by release in other geographies, including India. To recall, Mi Band 4 was launched as Mi Smart Band 4 in India in September last year

Mi Band 5 features (expected)

In terms of features, the Tizen Help report claims that Mi Band 5 will have a larger display than its predecessor and offer NFC support. It is also said to pack SpO2 sensor that is used to measure oxygen saturation in the blood. Many existing fitness wearables already offer this feature.

Further, the support for Amazon Alexa has been tipped as well as support to track menstrual cycles of women. The Alexa support will be available on both Chinese as well as international models of the fitness tracker.

Additionally, the smart band is said to come with a Personal Activity Intelligence (PAI) function that will use heart rate data to showing users how much activity they need to stay healthy.

From other titbits from Tizen Help report, the global version of Mi Band 5 that might be known as Mi Smart Band 5 will carry the model number - XMSH11HM. Also, the NFC support will be limited to the Chinese market.

OnePlus 8 Pro ‘Black Crush’ Problem Said to a 'Hardware Issue,' Repair and Refund Options Offered

Couple of display issues on the OnePlus 8 Pro emerged after the smartphone went on sale in Europe on April 21.

OnePlus last month issued a statement acknowledging the "green tint" and "black crush" display issues on the newly launched OnePlus 8 Pro. Days after the statement, the company also released new updates that allegedly fixed the display issues. However, users across the Web are claiming that the display problems are still lingering. A user on a Reddit OnePlus community has now pointed out that a OnePlus support executive has acknowledged the "black crush" issue as a hardware defect and the company is offering options including repair, refund, or a replacement. However, OnePlus has not publicly addressed this issue, therefore, more information about OnePlus 8 Pro's replacement/refund policy is still awaited.

OnePlus towards the end of April, tried resolving the known display issues on OnePlus 8 Pro with multiple software updates. The company rolled out OxygenOS 10.5.5 and OxygenOS 10.5.6 updates, however, it seems the green tint and black crush display problems for some users were not fully resolved. A user on Reddit is now claiming that a OnePlus support executive has acknowledged the problem as a "hardware issue" and is offering solutions such as replacement, refund, or repair. Notably, the company has not addressed this in public.

At the moment, the OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro models have not yet reached Indian consumers. The company although revealed the Indian pricing, however, the availability of the OnePlus 8 series is yet to be disclosed. Hopefully, OnePlus will resolve these issues before the smartphones reach the Indian consumers

Vivo S1 Price in India Dropped, Now Starts at Rs. 16,990

Vivo S1 price in India has been dropped by Rs. 1,000. As a result of the latest price cut, the Vivo phone is available for purchase in the country at Rs. 16,990. The Vivo S1 was launched last year as a global variant of the smartphone that originally arrived in China with a pop-up selfie camera. It has a triple rear camera setup and is powered by an octa-core MediaTek Helio P65 SoC. The Vivo S1 also comes in three configurations, with up to 128GB of onboard storage.

Vivo S1 price in India

The Vivo S1 price in India has been slashed from Rs. 17,990 to Rs. 16,990 for the base 4GB RAM + 128GB storage variant, as per the listing on the Vivo India E-Store. The price cut is applicable only to the starting model, and not on the other variants. This means the 6GB RAM + 64GB storage variant of the Vivo S1 is still priced at Rs. 18,990, while its 6GB RAM + 128GB storage option continues to cost you Rs. 19,990.

Alongside the official listing, the price cut is visible on online marketplaces including Flipkart. The availability of the phone is currently limited due to the lockdown restrictions in the country. Customers in the Green and Orange zones will be able to purchase the handset from online stores, while it would be available through an offline store in some Red zones.

The Vivo S1 was launched in India in August with a different hardware over what debuted in China in March last year.

Vivo S1 specifications, features

The dual-SIM (Nano) Vivo S1 runs Android Pie with Funtouch OS 9 and features a 6.38-inch full-HD+ (1080x2340 pixels) Super AMOLED display with a waterdrop-style notch. Under the hood, the phone has the MediaTek Helio P65 (MT6768) SoC, coupled with 4GB and 6GB RAM options. The phone has the triple rear camera setup that includes a 16-megapixel primary sensor with an /f1.78 lens, 8-megapixel secondary sensor with an f/2.2 wide-angle lens, and a 2-megapixel sensor with an f/2.4 lens. For selfies, the Vivo S1 has a 32-megapixel camera sensor that comes with an f/2.0 lens.

Vivo has provided 64GB and 128GB of internal storage options. Further, connectivity options on the Vivo S1 include Wi-Fi 2.4G + 5G, Bluetooth v5.0, GPS/ A-GPS, and Micro-USB with USB OTG support. The phone also has an accelerometer, ambient light sensor, e-compass, proximity sensor, virtual gyroscope, and in-display fingerprint sensor. Besides, there is a 4,500mAh battery.

iPhone 12 Pro Max Schematics Suggest Thinner Bezels, Quad Rear Cameras, Smart Connector

The iPhone 12 Pro Max is suggested to be 7.39 mm thick in comparison to the 8.10mm iPhone 11 Pro

Apple isn't likely to unveil the iPhone 12 family anytime soon — at least until September — if we go by its historical records. Nevertheless, some computer-aided design (CAD) schematics of the iPhone 12 Pro Max have surfaced online to suggest what all the changes the Cupertino, California-based giant would bring over to the iPhone 11 Pro Max. One of the key highlights that has emerged from the schematics is the Smart Connector. The iPhone 12 Pro Max is also likely to be thinner than the existing flagship iPhone. You'll also notice various similarities in the design with that of the latest iPad Pro.

Generally, accessory makers get the idea of what Apple has in the pipeline sometime ahead of the official launch. This leads to the CAD schematics leaks. So nothing new here. However, what's new and important to note is that the fresh leak suggests the complete design of the iPhone 12 Pro Max.

YouTube channel EverythingApplePro has sourced the information from tipster Max Weinbach, who's obtained it from a casemaker and claims that the schematics are 70 percent complete, and posted a video suggesting the major changes over the iPhone 11 Pro Max. Instead of looking like an upgrade of last year's model, the iPhone 12 Pro Max seems to have a design that looks quite similar to the iPad Pro 2020. This is something similar to what Bloomberg reported earlier this week.

The schematics suggest that the new iPhone will be 7.39mm thick against the 8.10mm iPhone 11 Pro. However, you'll get a thicker camera bump that will be 1.26mm — instead of the 1.21mm bump on the last year model.

Apple is also likely to shrink the bezels on the iPhone 12 Pro Max by about 40 percent from all four sides. This could be 1.5mm in size over the 2.5mm bezels on the previous generation. Further, thinner bezels means higher screen-to-body ratio.

At the back, the schematics suggest that the new iPhone will include a fourth sensor that would be a LiDAR scanner. The four sensors would be available in a 2x2 matrix form — with the LED flash module sitting at the middle of them.

There could also be some changes in terms of the notch. If we look at the 3D model designed using the schematics, the notch on the new iPhone is likely to be smaller that we have on the existing iPhone models. It is said to be just larger than the notch available on the OnePlus 6.

Apple has been offering curved edges on the iPhone for some time. But this trend is likely to be changed with the iPhone 12 Pro Max that appears to have flat edges. The schematics also suggest that there would be a Smart Connector, which would work with some accessories.

It is important to note that this isn't the first time when we've seen some hints about the Smart Connector. Some reports mentioned its presence on the iPhone 7 models back in 2016. However, we're yet to see something similar in reality.
