Redmi K20 Pro and Redmi K20 India Price, Realme X in India, Xiaomi Mi A3 Launch, and More Tech News This Week

https://sciencespies.com/news/redmi-k20-pro-and-redmi-k20-india-price-realme-x-in-india-xiaomi-mi-a3-launch-and-more-tech-news-this-week/

Redmi K20 Pro and Redmi K20 India Price, Realme X in India, Xiaomi Mi A3 Launch, and More Tech News This Week

Redmi K20, Redmi K20 Pro India launch, Realme X price in India reveal, and Xiaomi Mi A3 debut grabbed the headlines this week. Additionally, Samsung Galaxy A80 launch in India, Nokia 9 PureView release in offline stores, and Realme 3i announcement dominated the conversation. Further, WhatsApp Payments may be officially rolling out soon and BSNL reintroduced a free trial of its broadband service. Read on to know more about everything that made the news in the world of tech over the week.

Redmi K20, Redmi K20 Pro price in India, first sale date revealed

Redmi K20 and Redmi K20 Pro made their India debut this week with much fanfare. Xiaomi on Wednesday unveiled the phones at an event in New Delhi in front of over 850 people, including almost 500 of the company’s fans. It is probably the most important launch for the company this year. The Redmi K20 and Redmi K20 Pro will sit at the high-end of Xiaomi’s smartphone portfolio in the country. Xiaomi will open the sales of the Redmi K20 and Redmi K20 Pro next week in the country, however select few who participated in the company’s Alpha sale were able to buy the phone on the launch day itself.

The two Redmi K20 series smartphones officially mark the entry of Xiaomi’s Redmi sub-brand in the higher mid-range (or affordable premium smartphone segment) in the country. Redmi branding have been traditionally associated with affordable but value for money devices and Xiaomi will find it hard to shed that image and it is already seeing some pushback. A section of the company fans took to social media immediately after the Redmi K20 price announcement to complain about how the phone was overpriced in India, compared to the phone’s China pricing. To remind you, Redmi K20 price in India starts at Rs. 21,999, whereas in China, the phone starts with CNY 1,999 (roughly Rs. 20,000).

Following the complaints, Xiaomi India chief Manu Kumar Jain published an open letter to explain why the Redmi K20 is expensive. He highlighted that Snapdragon 730 SoC is a newer chipset, the complexities of manufacturing the two phones in India, and how they have to import some components. It is unclear if the letter has pacified the fans, but the phone’s sales will offer us some perspective. Redmi K20 Pro, which will be sold at a starting price of Rs. 27,999, has come out largely unscathed out of the pricing controversy.

Xiaomi has released pretty much the same versions of the Redmi K20 and Redmi K20 Pro in India that debuted in China, barring some missing storage variants and the lack of NFC chip. Redmi K20 and Redmi K20 Pro feature 6.39-inch full-HD+ AMOLED display, triple rear cameras, 20-megapixel pop-up selfie camera, 4,000mAh battery, and in-display fingerprint sensor. The Redmi K20 is powered by Snapdragon 730 SoC, while the Redmi K20 Pro comes with the Snapdragon 855 SoC.

Among other differences, the Redmi K20 includes 48-megapixel Sony IMX582 image sensor, whereas the Redmi K20 Pro comes with 48-megapixel Sony IMX586 image sensor. Also, the 4,000 battery on Redmi K20 only supports up to 18W fast charging, while the Redmi K20 Pro can use up to 27W fast charger. Both phones will, however, only get 18W charger in the box. The support for DC dimming is also missing from Redmi K20 and the phone is not getting a 8GB RAM variant in India, unlike China.

Redmi K20 and Redmi K20 Pro will be available starting Monday, July 22 via Flipkart, Mi.com, and Mi Home stores in the country. Although Alpha Sale was technically the first sale for the phones, next week will be the first time, the consumers won’t have to register first to be eligible to buy the phones. The Xiaomi partner stores will get the phones over the coming weeks. In terms of the launch offers, Redmi K20 and Redmi K20 Pro buyers will get a Premium Hard Cover worth Rs. 999 in the retail box.

Realme X India launch, price

Realme was another smartphone maker that unveiled a major smartphone this week in the country in the form of Realme X. Set to be the company’s flagship model, the Realme X has been priced starting at Rs. 16,999 in the country. It will be officially available beginning July 24 via Flipkart and the company’s own e-store. The company has already organised a Realme X hate-to-wait sale earlier this week, allowing some customers to buy the smartphone.

Realme X made its debut in China in May this year and the smartphone took almost two months to reach India shores. Although Realme India’s Madhav Sheth had teased that there may be some changes in the India variant of the Realme X, the India version of the phone is pretty much the same phone that launched in China. The Realme X packs features like a 6.53-inch full-HD+ display, a 16-megapixel pop-up selfie camera, Snapdragon 710 SoC, and 3,765mAh battery. The smartphone also houses a dual rear camera setup with 48-megapixel primary shooter and a 5-megapixel secondary shooter.

In our Realme X review, we found the smartphone to be a great option for any consumer looking to buy a mobile priced below Rs. 20,000. The phone packs a good build quality and a premium design. The display is also vivid with great colours. The Realme X camera performance is also good. The only thing that we found may disappoint some buyers is the overall size of the phone. It is no secret that smartphones are getting bigger every year, but unfortunately our hands don’t grow bigger after a certain age, so the phones like Realme X with a giant 6.5-inch display can be a bit large for some hands.

In addition to the regular Realme X, the Chinese smartphone maker also launched the Realme X Master Edition and Realme X Spider-Man: Far From Home special edition in the country. The Master Edition has been designed by Japanese industrial designer Naoto Fukasawa and will come in Onion and Garlic finishes. On the other hand, the Spider-Man Far From Home edition features a special theme and will be offered in a custom gift box. Both Master Edition and Spider-Man editions of the Realme X will be sold in just 8GB + 128GB variants and carry Rs. 19,999 and Rs. 20,999 price tag, respectively.

Realme X Review

Further, Realme introduced the new Realme 3i smartphone in the country. Unlike Realme X, it is an entry-level smartphone, released to take on the likes of Xiaomi Redmi 7 in the country. Realme 3i has been priced starting at Rs. 7,999 (3GB + 32GB). The 4GB + 64GB variant of the phone will retail at Rs. 9,999. The first flash sale of Realme 3i has been scheduled for July 23 and it will be offered in Diamond Black, Diamond Blue, and Diamond Red colours. The key specifications of the phone are 6.2-inch HD+ screen, Helio P60 SoC, dual rear camera setup, 13-megapixel selfie camera, and 4,230mAh battery.

Xiaomi Mi A3 officially launched

While Xiaomi India was busy launching the Redmi K20 series, the Spain arm of the company unveiled the new Mi A3 smartphone. It is the third phone in the company Mi A series, which is based on Android One programme and comes with stock Android. Mi A3 improves of its predecessor, Mi A2, in a number of areas, however there is one part, which has actually been downgraded and will certainly disappoint a number of consumers waiting for the phone. Unlike Xiaomi Mi A2, which packs a 5.99-inch full-HD+ screen, the Mi A3 houses a 6.08-inch HD+ display.

Other specifications of the Mi A3 include the presence of Snapdragon 665 SoC, 4,030mAh battery, and a triple rear camera setup. The phone sports a waterdrop-style notch and comes with a 32-megapixel selfie shooter. You will also get 4GB of RAM and up to 128GB of onboard storage. Mi A3 price will start at EUR 249 (roughly Rs. 19,200) in Europe and the sales open in Spain beginning July 24. There are three colour options — “Not Just Blue”, “More Than White”, and “Kind of Gray”.

Barring the software, Mi A3 is pretty much the same smartphone that was recently launched as Mi CC9e in China. There were rumours of a Mi A3 Lite model as well but the company is yet to make that official. There is no word on the India launch of Mi A3 right now, it will possibly be a couple of weeks at least before we see Mi A3 in India. That said, the company is preparing to launch it in South-East Asian markets soon.

Vivo Z1 Pro vs Redmi Note 7 Pro vs Realme 3 Pro vs Samsung M40: The Ultimate Comparison

When launched in India, the Xiaomi Mi A3 will be going against the likes of Samsung Galaxy M40, Motorola One Vision, Oppo F11 Pro, Nokia 8.1, and the new Realme X. It will also see some competition from Xiaomi’s own phones like Redmi Note 7 Pro and Redmi K30. Mi A-series phone have traditionally packed good cameras and if Mi A3 continues that trend, it wouldn’t have much trouble finding buyers.

Samsung Galaxy A80 arrives in India

After a long wait, Samsung launched its rotating camera smartphone Galaxy A80 in India. The smartphone was originally unveiled at a press event in Thailand in April and has taken over three months to reach India. Samsung has priced the Galaxy A80 at Rs. 47,990 for the lone 8GB + 128GB model. It will go on pre-bookings starting tomorrow and will go on sale beginning August 1. The company will be offering the Samsung Galaxy A80 via pretty much all major e-retailers and offline shops.

Samsung Galaxy A80’s USP is its rotating camera module that packs three image sensors as well as an IR sensor. The camera normally resides on the back of the phone, but when you have use it as a front camera, a portion of the back panel will rise and the camera module will rotate to face the front. Additionally, the phone packs a 6.7-inch full-HD+ Super AMOLED screen, Snapdragon 730G SoC, 8GB of RAM, and 128GB of onboard storage. You will also get a 3,700mAh battery and the usual set of connectivity options.

Oppo A9, Oppo K3 launched in India

Chinese smartphone maker Oppo released two new smartphones in the country this week in the form of Oppo A9 and K3. While the Oppo A9 has been priced at Rs. 15,490 and is now on sale in the country, the Oppo K3 will become available via Amazon starting July 23 and carries a starting price tag of Rs. 16,990. Both Oppo A9 and Oppo K3 had been launched in China earlier this year.

The phone also packs up to 8GB of RAM, up to 128GB of onboard storage, and a 3,765mAh battery. The Oppo A9, on the other hand, houses a 6.53-inch full-HD+ display with waterdrop-style notch, Helio P70 SoC, 4GB of RAM, and 128GB of onboard storage. The phone also comes with dual rear camera, and a 16-megapixel front shooter with 4,020mAh battery.

Vivo S1 global variant announcement, India launch teaser, and other tech news

Vivo S1 also made its global debut this week, however with a slightly tweaked feature-set than the China-variant. In fact, the Vivo S1, which is coming to the countries outside China, is actually being released as Vivo Y7s in the company’s home market. So, technically, the Vivo S1 global variant is the international version of Vivo Y7s. Vivo S1 global variant comes with features like a 6.38-inch full-HD+ Super AMOLED screen, Helio P65 SoC, and 4,500mAh battery. The smartphone also packs a triple rear camera setup and a 16-megapixel selfie camera.

Meanwhile, Vivo has started teasing the launch of its Vivo S1 in India. The company is bringing the S1 global variant to the country. Vivo has been publishing S series teasers on social media with focus on the style quotient of the smartphone. There is no word on when exactly the launch will take place or how much the Vivo S1 will cost. Hopefully, the company will reveal the launch date in the upcoming teasers.

Earlier this week, Qualcomm unveiled its new flagship SoC in the form of Snapdragon 855 Plus. The Plus version doesn’t bring massive upgrades to the Snapdragon 855, but there are some decent improvements.

During the trial period, BSNL offers up to 10Mbps Internet speed along with a daily data quota of 5GB and up to 1Mbps speed upon exceeding the given quota. The promotion is available till July 31.

The Best Wireless Bluetooth Headphones Under Rs. 5,000

It was revealed this week that WhatsApp is working to introduce the ability to play voice messages right in the notifications for its iPhone app. There is no word on when the feature will be released but a leaked screenshot showed that it is indeed in testing. WhatsApp for iPhone currently allows users to preview photos and videos but voice messages can only be played inside the app. The WhatsApp for Android version also doesn’t include this ability and only shows a play icon in the notifications. When the icon is tapped, the user is taken to the app to listen to the playback.

Separately, Bloomberg reported this week that Facebook is close to fully launching WhatsApp Payments in India. The service has been in beta since early last year. It is now said to have completed an audit of data practices, which will be submitted to Reserve Bank of India (RBI). RBI will give the final nod for the full rollout. WhatsApp Payments service is based on UPI and will offer similar features that are already found in the apps like Google Pay, Amazon Pay, Paytm, and more.

Netflix has confirmed that it will be launching a cheaper mobile-only plan for the Indian users. The details of this plan are still a mystery but it is likely to be launched before the streaming service’s season 2 of Sacred Games is released on August 15. The service is probably hoping the new plan will allow it to onboard many more subscribers, especially at a time when it is facing a subscriber decline in US and an overall slowdown in the new subscribers. Netflix was earlier seen testing a Rs. 250 mobile-only plan earlier this year. The company is likely to keep the final pricing around Rs. 250- Rs. 300.

In gaming news, Fortnite released a new update with version number 9.40. This update brings a tonne of changes for the Battle Royale, Creative, and Save The World modes of the game. Notable among them is the arrival of the Tactical Shotgun in a new avatar, automatic item pick-up, new Glider tool, and a new Island in the Creative mode among others.

Players who update the game before July 22 will get the Parachute Trail 1 and 1,888BP as rewards.

Lastly, FaceApp, a photo-editing app with age-filters, went viral this week. The app is available for both Android and iOS users. The overnight popularity of the app wasn’t without its share of controversies and it was pointed out that its terms and conditions of use and privacy policy gave it a lot of power over users’ photos. For some time, the app was also blocked for Indian users for unknown reasons but it is back to normal now. The app’s developers also came out and basically stated that they weren’t doing anything shady.

Best phones under 20,000 (INR) for India While there used to be a very clear divide between mid-range smartphones and high-end flagships, the lines have increasingly blurred over the past few years. Nowadays, phones offer similar metal constructions, high-resolution displays, solid cameras, and as much RAM and built-in storage as their flagship counterparts, but at less than half the price. Best Micromax smartphones The Best Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 cases Granted, these phones may not be as powerful and feature packed, but given the price point, they certainly don’t fail to impress. Here is a roundup of some of the best smartphones available in India priced at under 20,000 Rs! Editor’s note: This list includes phones that essentially fall in the price range between Rs 10,000 and Rs 20,000. There will be separate lists to showcase devices priced below Rs 30,000 and below Rs 10,000 as well. Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 and Note 5 Pro Xiaomi’s latest smartphones have proven to be extremely popular in India — the Pro model sold out in a few seconds during its first sale. They are the successors to the Redmi Note 4, which was the most sold handset in India in 2017. Starting with the Redmi Note 5, the smartphone sports a 5.99-inch Full HD+ display with an 18:9 aspect ratio. It’s powered by the Snapdragon 625 chipset and has 4 GB of RAM. A version with 3 GB of RAM is also available but retails for less than Rs 10,000, so it didn’t make this list. The mid-ranger also comes with a single camera on the back, a 5 MP selfie snapper, and a large 4,000 mAh battery. It ships with the older Android Nougat on board but should be upgraded to Oreo somewhere down the line. Compared to the Redmi Note 5, the Pro model offers a newer Snapdragon 636 chipset that’s backed by either 4 or 6 GB of RAM. It’s equipped with a dual-camera setup featuring 12 and 5 MP sensors for capturing those popular bokeh images. The handset also features a selfie snapper with a higher resolution at 20 MP. All other specs including the display, battery, and OS are the same as those of the Redmi Note 5. The Redmi Note 5 retails for Rs 11,999, while the Pro model can be yours for Rs 13,999 (4 GB/64 GB) or Rs 16,999 (6 GB/64 GB).

It also packs a massive 4,350 mAh battery and comes with 6 GB of RAM.

Things have only gotten better year after year, but this time, Motorola didn’t wait as long to release the latest edition. While the 5th generation of the phone was released only earlier in 2017, it has already been upended by its own “S” iteration with the Moto G5s Plus. The Moto G5s Plus brings significant improvements over the Moto G5 Plus across the board, including a full metal construction as opposed to the composite build of the latter, and a display that has been bumped up to 5.5-inches from 5.2-inches. While the processing package, RAM, and battery stay the same, the internal storage has been doubled to 64 GB. However, the big change here is in the camera setup, with the Moto G5s Plus featuring dual 13 MP + 13 MP rear cameras, that looks similar to what is available Motorola’s high-end offerings. The front camera has also seen a bump up to 8 MP from 5 MP and packs in a front-facing flash as well. Available in blush gold and lunar grey, the Moto G5s Plus is currently priced at Rs 13,999, making it well deserving of a spot on our best phones under 20,000 list. Specs 5.5-inch IPS LCD display with 1920 x 1080 resolution 2 GHz octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor Adreno 506 GPU 4 GB of RAM 64 GB of built-in storage, further expandable via microSD up to 256 GB 13 MP + 13 MP rear camera, 5 MP front-facing camera with front flash Dual SIM (dual standby) 3,000 mAh battery Android 7.1.1 Nougat 153.5 x 76.2 x 8 mm, 168 grams Read more Moto G5S Plus review: this is a budget phone? Motorola reveals the Moto G5S and Moto G5S Plus Buy on Amazon Samsung Galaxy On Max/Galaxy J7 Max The Samsung Galaxy On Max is a phone that is exclusive to India but is essentially a re-branded Galaxy J7 Max, with the latter also being available in the country. The only real difference between the two is that the Galaxy J7 Max comes with Samsung’s Smart Glow Ring that is placed around the rear camera. The LED ring glows different colors based on your settings, and can be used to let you know about priority notifications and low battery status, and can also help you take the perfect selfie or tell you when a person who you’ve handed your phone to navigates away from the page that was being shown to them. It is an interesting feature, but if it doesn’t pique your interest, the Samsung Galaxy On Max comes without the Smart Glow ring and is priced Rs 1,000 cheaper. Everything else remains the same between the two, including the 5.7-inch Full HD display, impressive rear shooter with a f/1.7 aperture to allow for good photos in low light conditions, and support for Samsung Pay Mini. The Samsung Galaxy One Max and Galaxy J7 Max are priced at Rs 15,900 and Rs 16,900 respectively. Specs 5.7-inch PLS LCD display with a Full HD resolution 2.4 GHz octa-core MediaTek Helio P20 processor Mali-T880MP2 GPU 4 GB of RAM 32 GB of built-in storage, further expandable via microSD card up to 256 GB 13 MP rear camera (f/1.7 aperture), 13 MP front-facing camera (f/1.9 aperture) Dual SIM (dual standby) 3,300 mAh battery Android 7.0 Nougat 156.7 x 78.8 x 8.1 mm, 179 grams Buy from Flipkart (Samsung Galaxy On Max) Buy from Flipkart (Samsung Galaxy J7 Max) Xiaomi Mi Max 2 As was the case with its predecessor, if you are looking for a smartphone with a huge display an affordable price tag, it doesn’t get any better than the Xiaomi Mi Max 2. The device retains the 6.44-inch display size and the beautiful metal construction from the previous iteration, but comes with a new processing package, different camera setup, and larger battery. The phone offers decent performance and good features, but the standout here is the battery life, with the device comfortably lasting for two days even with quite heavy usage. Xiaomi claims that the device offers up to 11 hours of nonstop gameplay, and that is a claim that is not overstated. When you do have to charge the phone, it comes with Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 support, so the large battery only takes a couple of hours to fully charge. Without a doubt, this is one of our favorite phones under 20,000 Rs. You can get it on Amazon for Rs 13,950. Specs 6.44-inch IPS LCD display with 1920 x 1080 resolution 2 GHz octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor Adreno 506 GPU 4 GB of RAM 64 GB of built-in storage, expandable via microSD up to 256 GB (uses SIM 2 slot) 12 MP rear camera, 5 MP front-facing camera Dual SIM (dual standby, hybrid slot) 5,300 mAh battery Android 7.1.1 Nougat 174.1 x 88.7 x 7.6 mm, 211 grams Read more Xiaomi Mi Max 2 review Buy on Amazon Lenovo K8 Note Lenovo launched three generations of their K Note series last year but there has been quite a long break for the latest iteration to make it to the market in India. It has definitely been worth the wait though, with the Lenovo K8 Note being the first affordable smartphone from the company to feature a dual camera setup. The device retains the premium full metal construction and general design language of its predecessors, but the highlight here is the 13 MP + 5 MP dual camera setup with the latter used to capture depth information. Lenovo also decided to do away with their Vibe UI in favor of stock Android 7.1.1 Nougat, which certainly helps keep the overall experience smooth and lag free. The device also packs a large battery that keeps the phone running for a good amount of time. There are two versions of the phone available, one with 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of built-in storage and the other with 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal storage, priced at Rs 10,999 and Rs 11,999. Specs 5.5-inch IPS LCD display with Full HD resolution 2.3 GHz deca-core Helio X23 processor Mali-T880MP4 GPU 3/4 GB of RAM 32/64 GB of internal storage, further expandable via microSD up to 256 GB 13 MP + 5 MP rear camera (f/1.7 aperture), 13 MP front-facing camera with front flash Dual SIM (dual standby) 4,000 mAh battery Android 7.1.1 Nougat 154.5 x 75.9 x 8.5 mm, 180 grams Read more Lenovo K8 Note with dual camera launched in India Lenovo K8, K8 Plus, and K8 Note will get Oreo update… next summer Buy on Amazon (3 GB) Buy on Amazon (4 GB) Xiaomi Mi A1 It’s a testament to Xiaomi’s dominance in the affordable segment of the Indian market that this is their third smartphone to be featured on this list, and it’s certainly a special one. The Xiaomi Mi A1 is the first Android One smartphone from the company, combining Xiaomi’s hardware prowess with Google’s software expertise. As far as specifications and features are concerned, the Mi A1 is basically the Mi 5X that was released recently, but with stock Android 7.1.1 Nougat on-board. With this phone being a part of the Android One program, we can also expect it to be one of the first phones to receive the official update to Android 8.0 Oreo. Apart from the software, another highlight of the Mi A1 is its dual camera setup on the back, with the phone coming with a 12 MP + 12 MP wide angle lens and telephoto lens combo. And by being an Android One device, users also get to take advantage unlimited storage for photos at the highest quality for free. Xiaomi is once again utilizing a flash sale model with the Mi A1, with the sale expected to be every Tuesday at 12 PM. The Mi A1 is priced at Rs 13,999.
