Xiaomi Redmi Note 7, Note 7 Pro, Redmi Go to launch today: How to watch live and what to expect

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 will be launched in India on Thursday. The company is hosting an event in New Delhi to unveil the mid-ranger that is already available in China. Like with every Redmi Note device, Xiaomi plans to cut ahead of the competition this time as well. The Redmi Note 7 offers a 48-megapixel camera on the back, which Xiaomi hopes will set the phone apart from the rest. The company is also expected to announce the Redmi Note 7 Pro and the Redmi Go at the event. Over the course of the past few months, multiple leaks and rumours have given us an idea how the Redmi Note 7 Pro will turn out to be. Before the phone launches in India, here’s everything you need to know — How to watch the Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 launch live? The Redmi Note 7 launch is expected to start at 11:30AM. The event will be streamed live on Xiaomi’s social pages on YouTube, Twitter and Facebook. Digit will also go live from the event, so you can tune into our Instagram page to get all the action. What does the Redmi Note 7 offer? The Redmi Note 7 went official in China a month ago. The phone offers a 48MP Samsung GM-1 sensor on the back coupled with a 5MP depth sensor for portrait photos. On the front, there’s a 13MP selfie camera, housed in a waterdrop notch. There’s a 6.3-inch LCD display with Gorilla Glass 5 on top. The phone is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 SoC and is offered in three RAM/storage variants. Xiaomi is expected to launch the phone in 3/32GB, 4/64GB and 6/64GB variants. Xiaomi also claimed the phone to have exceptional durability thanks to the protective glass on both sides. The phone also packs a 4,000mAh battery and now finally supports fast charging. The Redmi Note 7 is expected to come in a range of gradient colour finishes including red, blue and black and twilight gold. Will Xiaomi launch the Redmi Note 7 Pro? At the China launch of the Redmi Note 7, Xiaomi did tease the launch of the pro variant. After that, Lu Weibing, Redmi General Manager, shared the Redmi Note 7 Pro will be announced after the Xiaomi Mi 9. The Mi 9 launched on February 20 and the timeline adds up. Furthermore, we have seen multiple leaks of the phone detailing the specs and features. Based on the latest leak by smartphone leakster @ishanagarwal24, the Redmi Note 7 Pro is expected to bring the flagship Sony IMX586 sensor with 48MP resolution and a 1/2-inch sensor size. If the recently launched Honor View 20 is anything to go by, the camera offers a good amount of detail and has features like pixel-binning to improve low-light photography. The form factor is expected to remain the same as the Redmi Note 7 — A 6.3-inch display with a waterdrop notch. However, under the hood, the phone is expected to pack the Snapdragon 675 SoC, which we saw debut in the Vivo V15 Pro. Based on our performance comparison, the chipset is much more powerful than the Snapdragon 660, sometimes even beating the Snapdragon 710. What about the Xiaomi Redmi Go? The Xiaomi Redmi Go is an Android-Go device made for the entry-level segment. It’s Xiaomi’s first smartphone with Android Go and is expected to run a toned-down version of MIUI. The phone went official with a 5-inch HD display and a Snapdragon 425 SoC under the hood. The phone is based on Android Oreo (Go Edition) and offers 1GB RAM and 8GB of expandable storage. On the back is an 8MP camera while the front houses a 5MP selfie shooter. The phone packs a 2,200mAh battery. Redmi Note 7, Redmi Note 7 Pro, Redmi Go Price The Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 was launched for an astoundingly low price of RMB 999 in China which roughly converts to Rs 10,000 in India. While the phone certainly won’t be priced that cheap, considering import duties that Xiaomi has to pay for the components, we expect the phone to be priced under Rs 15,000. The Redmi Note 7 Pro with the 48MP Sony sensor is expected to fetch a higher price. We expect the price to be around Rs 16,000. The entry-level Redmi Go is expected to be priced below the going market price of other Android Go phones like the Samsung Galaxy J2 Core and the Nokia 1. WinFuture reports the phone will be priced under 80 Euros in Europe, which rough converts to Rs 6,400 in India.

Specs comparison: Honor Play 8A vs Honor 8X

The Honor 8A has been the talk of the town for quite a period of time. The phone was leaked on TENNA earlier then revealed on the Chinese website called Weibo. Finally, the smartphone got launched in China last week with a MediaTek chipset. On the other hand, the Honor 8X is another mid-range segment device by the company that is powered by a Kirin 710 octa-core processor. We are comparing these two smartphones to see which one will be the right choice in terms of specifications?  The Honor Play 8A sports a 6.03-inch display that offers a resolution of 720 x 1560 pixels, while the Honor 8X features a slightly bigger 6.05-inch display that comes with a resolution of 1080 x 2340 pixels. The Honor Play 8A has a water-drop notch on top of it, which houses the front-facing camera, while the Honor 8X has a traditional notch.  Coming to the processor, the Honor 8X is powered by a Kirin 710 octa-core processor, which is paired with 4GB RAM and 64GB internal memory. On the other hand, the Hono

First ever drone-delivered kidney is no worse for wear

Drone delivery really only seems practical for two things: take-out and organ transplants. Both are relatively light and also extremely time sensitive. Well, experiments in flying a kidney around Baltimore in a refrigerated box have yielded positive results — which also seems promising for getting your pad thai to you in good kit. The test flights were conducted by researchers at the University of Maryland there, led by surgeon Joseph Scalea. He has been frustrated in the past with the inflexibility of air delivery systems, and felt that drones represent an obvious solution to the last-mile problem. Scalea and his colleagues modified a DJI M600 drone to carry a refrigerated box payload, and also designed a wireless biosensor for monitoring the organ while in flight. After months of waiting, their study was assigned a kidney that was healthy enough for testing but not good enough for transplant. Once it landed in Baltimore, the team loaded it into the container and had it travel 14

Face unlock easily defeated with photo in over 30 smartphone models

We’ve seen a resurgence in face unlock across the mobile industry, arguably due to Apple’s  iPhone X  touting the technology. Unfortunately, a new study shows that plenty of phones can be defeated with a simple photo. The Dutch  Consumentenbond organization found that out of 110 devices tested, 42 could be unlocked with a high quality photo of the owner (h/t: The Register ). To be fair, the organization counted regional and dual-SIM variants as separate models in its testing, so the real number of dodgy devices is actually in the 30s. Nevertheless, this still represents a massive number of devices that are vulnerable to a simple photo. The list wasn’t restricted to a few manufacturers either, as the likes of Alcatel , BlackBerry , Huawei , Lenovo , Nokia , Sony , and Xiaomi were all featured here. Most of these phones were budget devices, but we also have a few flagships affected by shoddy face unlock. These devices include the HTC U11 Plus , the Huawei P20 Pro , and Sony’s Xper
