Xiaomi Redmi 9 Power design leaked ahead of launch in India on December 17

Xiaomi Redmi 9 Power is set to launch on December 17 in India and a new leak has revealed the design of the upcoming phone. Xiaomi has been teasing the Redmi 9 Power from quite some time now across its social media handles and on its dedicated microsite. The Redmi 9 Power is rumoured to be based on the Redmi Note 9 4G that was launched in November in China alongside the Redmi Note 9 5G and Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G.

As per an image leaked by 91Mobiles in collaboration with Ishan Agarwal, the Redmi 9 Power is slated to feature quad cameras on the back. The design is very much in line with the Redmi Note 9 4G except the fourth camera. This is rumoured to be a macro camera

Moreover, the phone is set to available in four colourways-- black, blue, red and green. The leaked image gives us a glimpse of the blue colour variant of the Redmi 9 Power that has a textured finish with a vertical camera array in the top-left corner.

The Redmi 9 Power is scheduled to launch a day after the company unveils its Mi QLED TV in India. Another report reveals that Xiaomi might be planning to launch the Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G in India as the Mi 10i, as the latter was spotted in a Geekbench listing. If the fourth camera does turn out to be macro while the rest of the specifications remain identical to the Redmi Note 9 4G, here’s what to expect from the upcoming Redmi 9 Power.

Xiaomi Redmi 9 Power expected specifications

The Redmi 9 Power could likely feature the same 6.53-inch Full HD+ (2340 x 1080 pixels) resolution display as the Redmi Note 9 4G. The screen has a waterdrop notch for the selfie camera and is topped with a layer of Gorilla Glass 3. The phone is expected to have a new design with the brand’s name slapped on the back panel. The phone measures 9.6 millimetres and weighs 198 grams.

The Redmi 9 Power is confirmed to be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor and it is likely the Snapdragon 662 under the hood. The chipset has an octa-core CPU, Adreno 610 GPU and is paired with upto 8GB RAM and 256GB storage options. The storage is also expandable by adding a microSD card and it runs on MIUI 12 out-of-the-box.

The phone has a quad-camera setup on the back with a 48MP primary camera, an 8MP ultra-wide-angle camera, 2MP depth sensor and a macro camera. On the front, there is an 8MP selfie camera housed within the waterdrop notch.

The Redmi 9 Power is expected to arrive with 6,000mAh battery with support for 18W fast charging.

Concept video shows off Xiaomis ambitious rollable smartphone render

After LG and Oppo, now Xiaomi looks like it's working on a smartphone with a rollable display. A patent filed by Xiaomi last year hinted that the company might start its rollable smartphone project soon. This design patent surfaced on both USPTO (United States Patent and Trademark Office) and WIPO (World Intellectual Property Office). We don't have an update on the progress yet, but the patent has now been used by Jermaine Smit (aka Concept Creator on YouTube) in partnership with Letsgodigital to make a set of renders that shows the concept in action. 

The patent shows a retractable display that can stretch sideways to take tablet form. It comes with a wraparound panel which was also seen on the Mi Mix Alpha concept, although the render looks to be a slightly better version of the technology.

In the renders, the concept is called the Mi Mix Alpha R, it looks sleek and very different from other rollable phone concepts we've seen. The display stretches from the front to the back of the phone making it an all-screen phone. Its display rolls out horizontally and extends a large area to use. The sides are completely curved, and there is even a 3.5mm headphone jack included here.

For more details, check out the video below.

Although the render of Xiaomi's phone with a wraparound display is out, note that the device still looks far from reality unless Xiaomi confirms it. We do not know when the phone will become a reality and how will it look. However, if we go by speculations, the phone may become a reality in the first half of 2021. 

As we mentioned, Oppo has also shown off its concept rollable smartphone recently, called the Oppo X 2021. While it won't be available commercially anytime soon, it is a working model, which technically makes it the first working rollable smartphone in the world.

Apart from Oppo, LG is also expected to announce its rollable smartphone in the first half of 2021 and it's said to go on sale before Oppo's offering. None of the developments come with concrete proof, but what's confirmed is that rollable smartphones are coming in 2021.

Specifications:

The Mi Watch Lite comes with a 1.4-inch colour display with a resolution of 320 x 320 pixels that comes with auto-brightness adjustment and a pixel density of 323 ppi.

The watch comes with three different cases and five different coloured bands options to choose from. Given the price of Redmi watch at CNY 299 (roughly Rs. 3,300), we can expect similar pricing for the Mi Watch Lite in global markets.

TikTok beats Facebook, Whatsapp to become the most downloaded app in 2020

TikTok has overtaken Facebook to become the most downloaded app in 2020. Despite facing a hard time in its key markets India and the USA, the viral short video app has shown immense growth number in the last two years. TikTok also leapt 15 spots to become the second-highest revenue-generating app for “consumer spend” behind Tinder. The app is expected to hit 130 billion iOS and Android downloads with global spending forecasted to hit $112 billion this year iOS.

As per App Annie's annual trend report, TikTok has earned the most downloaded app followed by Facebook at the second spot. Compared to last year's ranking, TikTok has moved three positions upwards taking over WhatsApp, Facebook and Facebook Messenger. In 2019, four of the top five most downloaded Facebook-owned apps dominated the rankings, with TikTok finding a place at number four. 

This year, though, Zoom has surprised everyone with its entry at number four, jumping 219 positions up the list. Last year's most downloaded app Facebook Messenger moved at number six where Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram held to their spots at number two, three and five respectively. However, Facebook’s apps still make up the top four apps in terms of monthly active users.

The report is based on combined results from App Store and Google Play till November 2020, with the iOS results only reflecting for China.

A roller coaster year for TikTok

TikTok has shown immense growth in the last two years, but it has not come as easy for the Chinese company. While users around the world went berserk over the short video app, its country of origin has irked the state, especially in India and the US, the two key markets.

While the Indian government has banned TikTok in the country concerning national security, the Trump administration has put several hurdles citing privacy issues, which is now halted after Biden took over the presidency. TikTok's future in these countries look murky, but the report suggests that the app is still growing at a rapid pace globally.
