Redmi K20 Leaked Poster Reveals it’s Powered by Snapdragon 730!
Xiaomi sub-brand Redmi is all set to launch its first flagship smartphone, the Redmi K20 on May 28. The smartphone is being touted to come with tons of features with an affordable price tag giving a tough competition to recently launched flagships such as the OnePlus 7/OnePlus 7 Pro. The Redmi K20 series will have two smartphones: a regular variant and a Pro variant.
Xiaomi has already confirmed that the K20 will come with the top-of-the-line Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 chipset but didn’t specify whether it stands for either or both of them. Without any doubt, the processor will be powering the Pro variant. Now a new poster has revealed the chipset on the regular non-pro variant.
According to the poster spotted at a Mi store, the Redmi K20 will house a Qualcomm Snapdragon 730 which also powers the Samsung Galaxy A80. The 8nm chipset was announced by Qualcomm back in April with the SD 665 and the SD 730G. The SD 730 is an octa-core chipset with a 2+6 Kyro 460 core arrangement and has Adreno 618GPU, a Hexagon 688 DSP, Qualcomm’s Hexagon Tensor accelerator and a computer vision ISP that allows 4K HDR video recording with bokeh effect.
The poster further confirms the Redmi K20 will feature a full-screen display, a pop-up selfie camera, triple rear camera setup with a 48MP primary camera. There will be a 7th generation in-screen fingerprint scanner along with a 4,000 mAh battery. It will run Android 9 Pie out-of-the-box.

From previous reports, we know the Redmi K20 will be available in Red and Blue color variants. We saw the Red color variant in the official image released by the company. Though many fans have suspected it to be a render, Xiaomi’s director of product management revealed that it is a real photo. Other features of the handset include DC dimming, a 3.5 mm audio jack and Game Mode 2.0.
Xiaomi will be introducing its new smartphone series called CC on July 2 with the upcoming Xiaomi CC9 smartphone. While there is very few information about the specs of the device, the Chinese manufacturer has revealed that it will sport a 32MP selfie camera with improved Beauty mode.
The post on Weibo says the camera will “restore the natural skin texture” and will “record the beauty of each moment”. While this seems all very flashy, this is just marketing talk about the new advance filters that founder and CEO Lei Jun was talking about earlier this month.
This new information suggests Xiaomi is aiming to target the selfie-centric customers and the younger generation. The company was not always known for good camera specs, but with recent smartphones like the Redmi Note 7 Pro, it has taken an edge over its competitors.
An image of the retail box of Xiaomi CC9 has surfaced online showing it will house a 4,000 mAh battery. Other than that, it doesn’t give much information about the specs. As per rumours, the two smartphones in the CC series called Mi CC9 and the Mi CC9e will include an in-display fingerprint sensor, a glass body, Gorilla Glass 5 on both the front and back. They are said to sport triple camera setup at the back and a selfie camera placed on a waterdrop notch. Previously leaked renders show the handsets in white, but we can expect other vibrant color options too.
The Mi CC9 is expected to be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 730 chipsets with 6GB/8GB RAM and 128GB/256GB internal storage. It is said to come with a 6.39 inch AMOLED display and a triple camera setup consisting of a 48MP sensor, an 16MP sensor and a 12MP sensor. On the other hand, the Mi CC9e is expected to carry a 5.97 inch AMOLED display, Snapdragon 710 chipset and a triple camera setup of a 48MP sensor, an 8MP sensor and a 5MP sensor.
We still have to wait a week till the launch to know about the Price and Availability. Till now, it is only known to release in the home market.

Now, @ClubHuawei reveals that the Huawei 9X Pro will be powered by the Kirin 810 SoC. According to him, the Kirin 810 is Huawei’s upcoming mid-range 7nm SOC that has its self developed NPU. It will also be powering the upcoming Huawei Nova 5(standard version) apart from the Honor 9X Pro.
Honor’s 9X series will likely to have the standard Honor 9X and the Honor 9X Pro. They are the successor to the last year’s Honor 8X and Honor 8X Max. Considering the recent US ban on Huawei and the number of companies that have severed ties with the company including Google, the smartphones may face some problems in the near future. It is not clear whether it will run the Android-based EMUI or Huawei’s Hongmeng OS that is rumored to debut on the second half of 2019.
There is no word about the launch date but the FCC and 3C certification hints that the launch is imminent. Like its predecessors, they are likely to be launched in the Indian market.
Vivo India has launched a teaser page for their upcoming smartphone, the Vivo Z1 Pro in their website, and it reveals some of the important specifications of the phone. Earlier it was speculated that the Vivo Z1 Pro that is to be launched in India will be a rebranded Vivo Z5x. However the newly released teaser suggests that the rumor was indeed false, and the two smartphones are entirely different.
According to the teaser in the Vivo India website, the Vivo Z1 Pro will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 712 processor. Vivo even goes further and teases that the Z1 Pro is the first Snapdragon 712 powered smartphone in India, along with the tagline ” Performance! Fully Loaded”.
The Snapdragon 712 processor is technically an overclocked Snapdragon 710, along with some new features such as support for Quick Charge 4+ and Qualcomm’s True Wireless Stereo Plus technology. The processor was announced earlier this year, and the only smartphone running on it currently is Mi 9 SE.
Coming to the design segment, the Vivo Z1 Pro comes with a punch hole camera design, which houses a 32MP in-display selfie camera, as opposed to the 16MP camera onboard the Vivo Z5x. However, there isn’t much information about the display. In the rear, there is a triple camera setup, which is believed to be a depth sensor and wide angle sensor along with the main shooter.
The Vivo Z1 Pro will be powered by a huge 5000 mAh battery, and will also have support for 18w fast charging technology. Coming to other elements, Vivo did not ditch the audio jack unlike what many other companies are doing now. Also, it comes with a traditional fingerprint sensor which is mounted at the back.
In the teaser, the Vivo Z1 Pro is shown in the Aurora color variant. While there is no release date mentioned in the teaser, we can expect it any time soon since the teaser is out.
