lenovo-k12-pro-specifications

Lenovo might launch the K12 Pro later this year. The listing of the device was found by Mobile91 on the platforms of TENAA and FCC. Looking at the specifications listed on both the platforms, there is a strong possibility that the Lenovo K12 Pro might be a rebranded version of the Moto G9 Power. The model number that was spotted in the listing was XT-2091-8. A thing worth noting here is that the Moto G9 Power had a similar model number – Xt2091-3. Let's take a look at all the specifications the device might come with.

Lenovo K12 Pro Specifications (Expected)

Looking at the listing of the device on the K12 Pro on TENNA and FCC, few key specifications can be assumed. The device might come with up to 4GB of RAM and there might be 128GB internal storage. Lenovo K12 Pro might get a 6.78-inch display much like the Moto G9 Power.

The device is expected to be available in Jasper colour and with a design that might be very similar to that of the Moto G9 Power. Further, there might be a triple camera setup at the rear along with a fingerprint scanner.

The front camera is expected to be in the side at the top. The front camera is further expected to come in a punch-hole design like the Moto G9 Power. The Lenovo K12 Pro might come with a 6,000mAh battery and is likely to get the support of 20W fast-charging as well.

The device is first expected to launch for the China market. No confirmed dates have been provided yet but it is very likely that the smartphone will be launched ahead in this year only. Adding to this, Lenovo also released a teaser for a new smartphone mocking the Redmi Note 9 series which further suggests that the device might be launched later this year.

As for the pricing of the device, it won't be too expensive. It is again expected to fall in line with the pricing of the Moto G9 Power itself. But let's see if Lenovo has got a surprise for us.

Moto G 5G and Moto G9 Power to Debut in India Very Soon, Says Tipster

Posted: 23 Nov 2020 09:25 PM PST

This post first appeared on TelecomTalk Read more at: https://telecomtalk.info/moto-g-5g-india-launch-tipped/312779/, Moto G 5G and Moto G9 Power to Debut in India Very Soon, Says Tipster

Motorola is all set to launch the Moto G 5G and the Moto G9 Power smartphones in India. Both the phones were launched recently in Western markets, and if this news is believed to be true, the Moto G 5G will be the company’s first 5G phone to debut in India. Similar to the Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite, the Moto G 5G is also powered by the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 750G SoC. Unlike the Snapdragon 765G chipset which we earlier saw on the OnePlus Nord, the Snapdragon 750G is a lower mid-range SoC, meaning we could see the Moto G 5G retailing for less than Rs 20,000 in India. Realme is also launching the Realme X7 series of phones in the country with MediaTek Dimensity range of 5G SoCs. India is all set to get mid-range 5G phones as early as next month or in January 2021.

Moto G 5G and Moto G9 Power: Specs and Features

The India launch timeline for both the Moto G 5G and Moto G9 Power is tipped by Mukul Sharma, saying it is right around the corner. However, the tipster did not reveal an exact date, but we are expecting Motorola to launch the phones in December 2020. Since the phones are already launched in other markets, it will be a matter of time for the brand to get them to India.

The Moto G 5G is amongst the world’s first phones with Snapdragon 750G SoC. Other specifications of the smartphone include a 6.7-inch Full HD+ display, 6GB of RAM, 128GB of storage, 5000mAh battery with 20W fast charging support, 48MP triple camera setup on the back and 5G support.

As for the Moto G9 Power, it is a budget phone with Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 SoC onboard. It also rocks a 6.7-inch HD+ screen, up to 4GB of RAM & 128GB of storage, 64MP triple camera setup and a 6000mAh battery backs the device. Pricing and official launch details are yet to be revealed by Motorola India.

Xiaomi Rolls Out Android 11 Update to Mi 10

Posted: 23 Nov 2020 08:01 PM PST

This post first appeared on TelecomTalk Read more at: https://telecomtalk.info/xiaomi-mi-10-android11-update/312763/, Xiaomi Rolls Out Android 11 Update to Mi 10

After updating the mid-range Redmi Note 9 Pro to Android 11 in India, Xiaomi is rolling out a new Android 11-based MIUI 12 update to its flagship smartphone Mi 10. Xiaomi launched the Mi 10 5G in India earlier this year. Later on, we saw the brand launching Mi 10T series as well in India. The Xiaomi Mi 10 already picked up MIUI 12 update in the country, but it was based on Android 10. Now, Xiaomi is seeding a new MIUI 12 update with build number- V12.2.1.0.RJBMIXM which will be based on Android 11. The Chinese company pushed Android 11 update to Mi 10 in China; Before this version, Xiaomi pushed V12.1.2.0.RJBMIXM update to Mi 10 global users, however, it was limited to early adopters.

Xiaomi Mi 10 Android 11 Update: When Can You Expect?

According to XDA Developers, the Mi 10’s new MIUI 12 release V12.2.1.0.RJBMIXM is a broader rollout with an overall size of 2.8GB. The update is also said to carry October 2020 security patches. We are not sure about the new features added by Xiaomi. Since the update has MIUI 12 laden on top, the user interface will be very much identical. Xiaomi India is yet to confirm the rollout of Android 11 update for Mi 10 in India. Since Xiaomi has started the rollout to the broader audience globally, we can expect it to reach the Indian users of Mi 10 as well.

Besides the Mi 10, Xiaomi is also pushing a new MIUI 12 update based on Android 11 to the Redmi K30 5G. For the unaware, the Redmi K30 5G did not launch in India, however, the Redmi K30 4G arrived in India as Poco X2. So we can expect the Poco X2 to pick up Android 11 update very soon.

The Xiaomi Mi 10 was launched back in May this year in India. It is currently retailing at the same launch prices of Rs 49,999 and Rs 54,999. Xiaomi recently unveiled the Mi 10T series in India at a starting price of Rs 35,999. The Mi 10T series could pick up the Android 11 update in the coming weeks. Xiaomi is doing a great job in updating its existing devices to the latest iteration of Android.

This post first appeared on TelecomTalk Read more at: https://telecomtalk.info/jio-rs399-postpaid-plan-competition/312717/, Reliance Jio Rs 399 Postpaid Plan is Ahead of Similarly Priced Plans from Airtel and Vi

After taking India’s prepaid market by storm, Reliance Jio has finally set its eyes on the postpaid market. Announced back in 2018, the JioPostpaid Plus plans were finally launched by the company a couple of months ago. As always, Reliance Jio is offering the best postpaid plans in the industry. Before the introduction of these new JioPostpaid Plus plans, the telco used to provide just one postpaid plan priced at Rs 199. The new postpaid plans start at Rs 399 and go all the way up to Rs 1,499. Right after the introduction of Rs 399 JioPostpaid Plus plan, Airtel brought back its entry-level Rs 399 plan across all telecom circles. Vi’s postpaid plans currently start at Rs 299 in select circles for new customers and for the existing users the telco is providing plans starting at Rs 399. Continue reading to know how the JioPostpaid Plus of Rs 399 is a better offering compared to that of Airtel and Vi’s Rs 399 plan.

JioPostpaid Plus Rs 399 Plan: Benefits Detailed

The Rs 399 postpaid plan from Reliance Jio comes with 75GB of data benefit per month along with up to 200GB data rollover facility. There are also other benefits like unlimited voice calling to any network without any FUP limit and 100 SMSes per day for one billing cycle.

The best part of choosing Reliance JioPostpaid Plus plan of Rs 399 is OTT subscriptions; The telco is providing free access to OTT platforms like Netflix Mobile plan of Rs 199, Amazon Prime subscription worth Rs 999 and Disney+ Hotstar VIP membership worth Rs 399. Besides, customers will also get access to JioTV, JioCinema, JioSaavn and Unlimited Caller Tunes.

Airtel and Vi Rs 399 Postpaid Plans Detailed

Talking about the Rs 399 postpaid plan of Bharti Airtel, it comes with 40GB data benefit, unlimited voice calling to any network within the country and 100 SMSes per day for one rental period. Users also carry forward the data up to 200GB with this Rs 399 postpaid plan. Customers only get free access to Airtel Xstream app. Sadly, Airtel is not offering additional OTT platform subscriptions. Airtel’s postpaid plans with OTT subscriptions start at Rs 499 and above.

Moving onto Vi’s postpaid plan of Rs 399, it comes with 40GB data benefit, up to 200GB data rollover facility, 100 SMS for one month and unlimited voice calling. Similar to Bharti Airtel, Vi is also providing free access to just Vi Movies & TV service.

As you can see, the OTT subscriptions available with JioPostpaid Plus plan of Rs 399 cleary make the difference here. Even with its base plan, Jio is providing free access to OTT apps like Netflix, Amazon Prime and Disney+ Hotstar. Even Jio’s mobile apps like JioTV and JioCinema offer more live TV channels and VOD content than those of Airtel and Vi.
