Confirmed: The Redmi 9A, Redmi 9C are real, and coming very soon

The Redmi 9A and 9C will join the likes of the Redmi 9 and Note 9 series.

  • Xiaomi Malaysia has revealed that the Redmi 9A and Redmi 9C are coming.
  • The division says the phones are launching tomorrow (June 30).
  • A previous leak has already given us apparent specs.

A Redmi 9 series leak earlier this month noted that three phones in the family were coming. More specifically, the leak pointed to the Redmi 9, Redmi 9A, and the Redmi 9C.

The Redmi 9 has already launched in China and Europe, which just leaves the Redmi 9A and Redmi 9C. Fortunately, Xiaomi Malaysia has now confirmed that these two phones do indeed exist, and they’re coming soon.

Xiaomi’s Malaysian arm took to Facebook to tease the phones, noting that they’ll offer big screens and big batteries. The division also revealed that the devices will launch tomorrow (June 30). Hopefully this means a wider launch isn’t far behind.

The Xiaomi Redmi 9A and Redmi 9C are coming.

We already have a good idea of what to expect from these Xiaomi phones thanks to the prior leak from Twitter tipster Sudhanshu. The leaker was mostly correct about the Redmi 9’s specs, save for the chipset being slightly different. So it stands to reason that the other specs are on the right track too.

The tipster notes that the two upcoming phones will share a 6.53-inch HD+ screen, 5,000mAh battery, 5MP selfie camera, 3GB of RAM, 3.5mm port, a fingerprint scanner, IR blaster, and USB-C.

Otherwise, the Redmi 9C looks like the more expensive option, apparently touting an unannounced Helio G35 SoC, 64GB of storage, and a triple rear camera (13MP+5MP+2MP). Meanwhile, the Redmi 9A is said to have a Helio G25 SoC, 32GB of storage, and a solitary 13MP rear camera. This particular model will presumably replace the Redmi 8A as one of the cheapest phones in Xiaomi’s family.

We’ll need to wait until tomorrow to see whether these rumored specs line up with the real deal. But hopefully these phones are well-priced, much like earlier Redmi offerings.

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
