Realme has made its mark for products that offer high value for money, even exceeding other value offerings from brands like Xiaomi. Despite its presence across a wide range of segments, Realme has not stopped catering to its core target group – i.e. of affordable smartphones. In February, Realme launched the entry-level Realme C3 which offers an "excellent gaming performance" thanks to its MediaTek Helio G70. Now, the company is set to release another entry-level device - Realme C11 – with the unannounced MediaTek Helio G35 SoC, an alleged 5000mAh battery, and a fresh change to the typical linear camera design that Realme has been using since last year.

The Google Play Developer Console's Device Catalog is a list of devices that app developers can use to whitelist or blacklist certain devices from installing their apps. The list is maintained by Google, and is based on the information that device makers themselves submit to Google, making it a very good spot to look out for upcoming devices. We have spotted devices like the Google Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL, as well as the Razer Phone 2 on the Play Console in the past.

Waterdrop notch smartphones are all the rage right now, and the Honor Play 8A latches on to that trend. Originally meant to be launched on January 8th, it would appear that Honor has fast-tracked its launch a little bit in order to avoid being buried by all of the CES 2019 news. The company still intends to ship orders made on January 8th, but it has already been revealed in China. The Honor Play 8A features a MediaTek Helio P35, a 6.09-inch IPS LCD 720p display, and 3GB of RAM.

You'd be forgiven if you hadn't heard of Planet Computers, given that the company has only released one Android device to date - the Gemini. It wasn't your typical Android smartphone though, instead, it was a Personal Digital Assistant or a "PDA." PDAs from the likes of Apple and Microsoft were once predicted to take over market share from the commercial desktop market, but that didn't go quite as planned. Even still, there's certainly a place for them in the world, and Planet Computers has been showing off the Cosmo Communicator at CES 2019, a clamshell PDA that can run Android Pie and dual-boot different distributions of Linux. It's the successor to the Gemini, but it's more or less an entirely different device.

Xiaomi's Redmi and Redmi Note series has helped the company become one of the biggest smartphone companies in the world. They hope to continue this momentum with the Xiaomi Redmi 6 series. The company has released three different variants of this device with the regular Redmi 6, the Xiaomi Redmi 6A and then the Xiaomi Redmi 6 Pro. We're likely to see the developer community grow like crazy due to its choice of SoC. While the Redmi 6 and Redmi 6A both have MediaTek Helio chipsets, it's the Redmi 6 Pro that comes with the Snapdragon 625 SoC from Qualcomm.

Earlier this Summer, the Xiaomi Redmi 6, Xiaomi Redmi 6A, and Xiaomi Redmi 6 Pro were launched. However, the phones were not available in India. Today, that finally changes. All three devices will be available in the next couple of weeks. Take a look at all three models compared side-by-side in the specification chart below. There are a lot of similarities, but several key differentiators.

The Oppo F9 first popped up on our radar a few weeks ago when Oppo teased VOOC Flash Charging. Now, the Oppo F9 and Oppo F9 Pro are official. These devices have a lot in common, but there are some key differences. Let's start by comparing the specs in the chart below.

Xiaomi recently made a big splash in the Android market with the release of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 and Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro for the mid-range market and the Xiaomi Redmi S2/Y2 for the budget market. We're still seeing these devices grow in popularity, which has led us to today as the company has announced a new addition to their regular Redmi series. Today, Xiaomi was in China to announce the launch of the Redmi 6 with MediaTek's latest MediaTek Helio P22 SoC and its more affordable companion, the Redmi 6A with MediaTek's Helio A22 SoC. Both chipsets are built on the 12nm process, which should consumer 48% less power than comparable 28nm chips.

Oppo Realme 1

It's fair to say that competition is heating up in the budget and lower mid-range price segments in the Indian smartphone market. The Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro was the first phone to launch with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 system-on-chip in India. It was followed by the Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1, which had an even lower price tag. Now, Oppo has officially launched the Realme 1 in India. It's the first smartphone in the Realme series, and it's a lower mid-range phone.

The MediaTek Helio P60 made its debut at MWC 2018 on Sunday, alongside devices from Samsung, Sony and ZTE. In November 2017, the company said it would take a step back from flagship offerings to focus on the mid-market, where it has historically thrived. We saw the first fruit of this strategy this week: MediaTek announced the AI-infused Helio P60, a system-on-chip designed for affordable devices.
