Redmi K30, for illustration purposes only

Redmi K30 Ultra might be a device with MTK Dimensity 1000 and 144Hz screen

Rather than releasing new smartphones, Xiaomi's sub-brand Redmi is planning to expand the K30 series with a seventh device. It is worth mentioning that the device is not just a lite version or 5G version, as it's going to be the first from the K-series to feature a MediaTek chipset. Today, the device's name has also been discovered and it's going to be called Redmi K30 Ultra.

Other than the name, some of the hardware specs have also been found from a code snippet in MIUI. It suggests that the Redmi K30 Ultra will come with a pop-up front-facing camera alongside a quad-camera setup led by a 64MP main shooter, similar to the ones from Redmi K30 Pro and Redmi K30 Pro Zoom Edition. Despite that, we think the highlight of the device would still be its MediaTek chipset.

The famous tipster Digital Chat Station from Weibo has also been posting leaks about a smartphone that could be the Redmi K30 Ultra. In a post, a new Xiaomi smartphone is expected to be launched with a MediaTek Dimensity 1000 chipset and a 144Hz refresh rate display. A 64MP IMX686 sensor from the Redmi K30 Pro and K30 Pro Zoom will be seen on the device as well. If it's true, it means that the Redmi K30 Ultra will keep most of the specs from its siblings, but will bring a new chipset and a higher refresh rate display.

Now, the device has surfaced again on TENAA listing and a launch is speculated to happen on 14 August.

The TENAA listing shows nothing but the CPU frequency, and the Redmi K30 Ultra is a 2.6GHz entry.

Besides the TENAA leak, Redmi has scheduled an event to be happening on 14 August. It is suggested that the day could be the one for us to witness the arrival of Redmi K30 Ultra.

Redmi K40 Game Enhanced Edition will launch on 27 April 2021

Back in January, Redmi's CEO confirmed that the company was working on a gaming phone. Some specs for the device have already been leaked before, but none of them had a name for the device. However, Redmi has announced its official name and launch date.

In a Weibo post, Redmi has confirmed that the device will be called the K40 Game Enhanced Edition (machine translation). As previously rumoured, this phone will be launched at the end of the month on 27 April 2021. The company described the device as "so thin, you wouldn't think it's a gaming phone". Judging by the name, it should also be a variant of the Redmi K40 series, so there could be similarities in design.

According to previous leaks, the Redmi K40 Game Enhanced Edition will be powered by the Dimensity 1200 chipset. It's also expected to have an OLED display with a 144Hz maximum refresh rate, 5000mAh battery, and 67W fast-charging. Moreover, there's a rumour suggesting that it would come with physical shoulder buttons.

Redmi also promised that this phone will have the "ultimate price-performance ratio", so it could be cheaper than most gaming phones. But would its cooling performance be good enough for mobile games? That's something we'll have to find out once it launches, so stay tuned to TechNave for updates on that!


Redmi K40 Gaming Edition could be rebranded as POCO F3 GT for global market

Redmi has just launched its first gaming smartphone today. Not only the K40 Gaming Edition is packed with gaming-centric features, but it's also an alternative for those who don't want to spend a lot on a more high-end gaming phone. As the newly launched device is currently exclusive to the Chinese market, it makes us wonder if it will make a global debut in the near future. We might have gotten the answer as the device is said to be rebranded as POCO F3 GT for India.

The leak was revealed by tipster Kacper Skrzypek after finding out that the Redmi K40 Gaming Edition and POCO F3 GT share the same core model number. The previous Redmi K40 has been rebranded as POCO F3 for the global market. Therefore, it also makes sense for this new device to falls into the F3 lineup.

Redmi K40 with new MediaTek chipset could launch soon

Way back in June of last year, rumours of a Redmi K40 series starting popping up. Some claimed that Xiaomi would launch it at the end of 2020, but it looks like Xiaomi decided to delay that plan. Now, sources claim it could be coming soon with a MediaTek chipset.

According to Gizchina, the Redmi K40 series could be launched after MediaTek's launch of its new chipset on 20 January 2021. Allegedly, this is a flagship 5G chipset with the Dimensity moniker - likely the Dimensity 2000 chipset. If that's the case, then Xiaomi's launch could be between late January to early February 2021 to avoid clashing with CNY holidays in China.

However, an unreleased MediaTek MT6893 could be the chipset used instead. This is supposed to be a mid-range chipset, but its benchmarks showed performance on par with the Snapdragon 865 chipset. Of course, it's possible that this mid-range chipset would be used for the standard Redmi K40, while the Pro variant uses the Dimensity 2000 chipset.

Regardless, it sounds like the Redmi K40 series will have good performance without being overly expensive phones, which is something I personally welcome. Would you be interested in getting it for yourself? Let us know in the comments below and stay tuned to TechNave for more updates on this.


Adidas GMR is a pair of insoles that track your footballing skills and enhance your FIFA Mobile Ultimate Team

Companies have been using IoT sensors to do all sorts of interesting in recent years, but a recent piece of tech that was announced shows how niche some of them can be. According to Footy Headlines, Adidas Japan has created a new type of tracking sensor that is placed into insoles for shoes. That's right, for shoes!

Redmi K50 Gaming aims to deliver an impressive audio setup with JBL speaker and Dolby Atmos

The Redmi K50 Gaming is something to watch out for this year. The device is not only expected to feature Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, but it could also come with 120W fast charging and 64MP camera such top-of-the-line tech specs. Until now, the brand further confirms something new before the launch, claiming that the Redmi K50 Gaming will offer a breakthrough audio setup.

On Weibo, Redmi talked about how audio frequencies work. Most of the music and other "mainstream" audio is limited to the 500-2000Hz mid-frequency band, and nailing higher frequencies on speakers has been an important task. Redmi says that if the frequencies are higher than 2000Hz, the output will sound unnatural and less lively and the same goes for lower frequency sounds.

In the upcoming K50 Gaming series, the team aims to achieve an optimum "crossover" of both high-frequency and low-frequency sounds by dividing the speakers into units dedicated to either. With such a method, it will provide users with the ability to distinguish footsteps and gunshots in several gaming scenarios, especially FPS games. Furthermore, the device is also arriving with a dual symmetrical stereo speaker setup by JBL and Dolby Atmos support, making it exceptional in the sound department.

The configuration of 1+3+4 CPU cores running at 3GHz, 2.5GHz, and 1.79GHz clock speeds also matches the chipset's tech specs. This device also has 12GB of RAM, so it's most likely the best variant for the model.

Besides that, the Xiaomi 21121210C device was also spotted on China's 3C database. This indicates that the device is now certified in China and could launch soon. Also, the listing confirms that the device supports 120W fast charging. In terms of features, we expect this model to retain the shoulder buttons from the Redmi K40 Gaming.

Redmi K50 expected to feature 120W fast charging and 120Hz OLED display

Xiaomi is the pioneer of 120W wired fast charging technology by launching the first device that supports it. After that, the Chinese tech company also became the first in realizing 100W wireless charging power. When it's challenging itself to innovate higher charging capacity, the previous ones will be moving to more budget devices. According to a source, next year's Redmi K50 will come with support for 120W charging capacity.

Redmi is already using 67W wired fast charging, and it appears that the brand is not stopping there. Sources are saying that Redmi will launch a global model with 120W fast charging support, and all bets are on the Redmi K50. However, there are also conflicting reports saying that the series will use the same 67W or 100W instead.

Besides improved fast charging support, the K50 is also rumoured to feature Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 chipset and 120Hz OLED display. Reputable tipster Digital Chat Station reveals that the device could sport a 6.7-inch display with 1080 x 2400px resolution and use a 50MP main camera on the back.

Redmi K50 series and realme GT Neo 3 series will both feature Dimensity 8000 chipset

In the last week or so, we've seen some news about new MediaTek chipsets. The company already launched its flagship Dimensity 9000 last month, before confirming that a Dimensity 8000 would also come soon. Now, we also have sources suggesting which devices would be the first to feature the Dimensity 8000.

According to Digital Chat Station, Xiaomi and realme plan to launch devices with the Dimensity 8000. Specifically, the Redmi K50 series and realme GT Neo 3 series could both come with this new mid-range chipset. The tipster also hinted that the two brands will compete in the mid-range market with aggressive price tags. This suggests that the two series would have great value for money.

The Dimensity 8000 is powerful enough to handle most apps. Even 3D games with high requirements are no problem for this chipset. IT has a CPU with 4x Cortex-A78 (2.75GHz) cores, 4x Cortex-A55 cores, and a new Mali G510 MC6 GPU that's said to be twice as fast as its predecessor. On top of that, the Dimensity 8000 supports refresh rates of up to 168Hz (on Full HD resolution), UFS 3.1 storage, and LPDDR5 RAM.

Of course, we'll need to see how this chipset performs when it's officially out. But overall, you can expect it to be as good as flagship chipsets from a few years back. Would this convince you to get mid-range phones over flagship ones in 2022? Let us know in the comments, and stay tuned to TechNave for more news like this.

Redmi K50 series is expected to be powered by the Snapdragon 895 chipset with 67W fast charging

There are few reports recently regarding the upcoming Redmi K50 series which is said to be officially launching around Spring Festival. It is expected to have two variants, the standard version and the Pro version. Today, we got a report mentioning the Redmi K50 to come with a 67W fast charging support.

Redmi K60 to get powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1

The first leak of POCO F5 surfaced recently, and the device is said to arrive as a rebranded Redmi K60. Now, it's time for news about the Redmi device, as a new report claims it would use the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1. It might have also confirmed that the POCO F5 would indeed pack the chipset.

It's an upgrade for the POCO F5, as the POCO F4 uses the Snapdragon 870 SoC. However, for Redmi K60, it's a different situation, as the Redmi K50 uses the MediaTek Dimensity 8100 SoC. Therefore, it's more of switching the brand rather than an upgrade. Not only that, but the Redmi K50 Ultra came with the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, so it seems like it's passing it down to the lower variant.

According to tipster Digital Chat Station, the Redmi K60 series is already in the design verification testing phase. After the internal design is confirmed to be safe, it will enter the manufacturing phase. The tipster also mentioned some tech specs, including a 2K display, 5,500 mAh battery with 67W wired fast charging and 30W for wireless. Furthermore, the Redmi K60 devices could also feature something similar to Apple's Dynamic Island.

Redmi K70 series to be powered by Qualcomm’s next-gen flagship SoC, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3

Qualcomm will hold its annual Snapdragon Summit from 24 to 26 October this year, where it is expected to debut the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. Like previous flagship mobile processors from the company, the chip will be powering high-end Android devices and if a recent leak is to be believed, this would include the Redmi K70 series.

This is according to reliable tipster Digital Chat Station who took to Weibo to reveal the matter. While there is no way to confirm this (the processor isn’t even out yet!), this leak is quite believable thanks to the tipster’s previous record for leaks.

It is also safe to assume that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 would be powering the most specced-out variant of the K70 series, presumably the K70 Pro. The K60 Pro itself is powered by Qualcomm’s current flagship, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.

Of course, do take this with a grain of salt as nothing is confirmed as of yet. Well, we just have to wait until the Xiaomi subsidiary reveals more about the upcoming smartphone series in the future.

So, are you excited about the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and the Redmi K70 series? Share your thoughts with us in the comments below and stay tuned to TechNave for more trending tech news such as this!

Adobe Firefly beta announced for professional and commercial generative AI art

After all the previous Adobe AI projects like Adobe Sensei and so forth, it seemed like just a matter of time before the company took a stab at generative AI art too. Adobe Firefly is their answer to this and while it is still only in beta, Adobe plans for Firefly to be utilized for commercial use. You can join the beta here.

Designed for use in Adobe’s Creative Cloud, Document Cloud, Experience Cloud and Adobe Express workflows, Adobe Firefly doesn’t seem to be just an AI art generator. From the video demo, the engine seems contextually aware, enough that you can ask for a puppy in a Santa costume, then ask it to be placed in front of a gingerbread house.

Most importantly, the hands look accurate with no missing or extra fingers and there are multiple options to choose from after the art has been generated. Adobe also says that while Firefly will use graphics from Adobe Stock libraries, they are also working so that creators will be properly compensated if Firefly uses their content, which will be implemented after beta.

Creators can also opt for a “Do Not Train” Content Credential Tag in their content if they do not want their content to be used by Adobe Firefly. Adobe Firefly will be available first on Adobe Express, Adobe Experience Manager, Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator. What do you think about Adobe Firefly? Can’t wait to use it?
