After a lot of mysterious tweets and posts regarding its upcoming laptop from Xiaomi India and its CEO, it is finally shredding some light for us. Manu Kumar Jain’s recent tweet confirms that it will launch the RedmiBook 13 in India on June 11.
Previously, we speculated that Xiaomi will bring its premium Mi Notebook series of laptops in India but it seems the company will be launching its budget RedmiBook 13 laptop series in India first, however it will be rebranded and launched under it’s Mi branding in India.
The teased image shows the laptop with slim bezels which confirms the fact that this will be the same Intel-powered 2019 variant of RedmiBook 13 launched in China. It features the 10th Gen Intel Comet Lake Core i5 and Core i7 CPUs along with dedicated NVIDIA MX250 graphics.
It features a 13-inch Full-HD bezel-less panel with a high 89% screen-to-body ratio. Also, it has 8GB of DDR4 RAM and 512GB of SSD storage. The laptop will include a 40Whr battery with 65W charging support and feature two 2W speakers. For ports, we have 2x USB 3.1 port, 1x HDMI port, and a 3.5mm audio jack.
Obviously, with this laptop Xiaomi will target budget laptop seekers, students, office people and all those who need a good working laptop but are short on budget. In China, the base Core i5 model of RedmiBook 13 is priced at 4,199 yuan around ₹44,500 while the Core i7 model costs 5,199 yuan around ₹55,000.
It will be interesting to see how Xiaomi prices the Mi rebranded RedmiBook 13 in India and what will be the company’s marketing strategy in the country.
The Coronavirus pandemic has affected the whole world. Millions of people have been affected while thousands have died. The world economy has taken a hit too. All sporting activities have been suspended since March. Although football leagues are on the verge of resumption, cricket is far from resuming.
BCCI president Sourav Ganguly was live on Unacademy app. During the live video conferencing, he said he believes everything including cricket will be normal again, once the vaccine comes up.
Ganguly said: “This [coronavirus] is something that has caught the world in sheer shock. We did not have the vaccine, we did not have the medicines to take care of it. But over a period of six or seven months, once the vaccine comes up, everything will be normal.”
“We have this tremendous resistance in ourselves and I think cricket will be back to normal. Yes, there will be some changes in the itinerary, some changes in the schedule, but I think, the world cricket — the BCCI, the ICC will be hellbent on getting cricket back to normal and get cricket doing well.”
He further added: “As the vaccine comes out, it will be normal life. If you fall sick — if you have fever, you have jaundice, you break a bone — you take those medicines and get better.”
India is currently in Phase 1 of unlocking the lockdown which was enforced since March. The IPL 2020 which was scheduled in March has been suspended indefinitely. Things are not still suitable to host the IPL in the coming few months. Ganguly revealed that BCCI and IPL committee has not yet officially decided on the IPL schedule.
He told Sportskeeda: “We can’t say what will happen in the days to come. It is tough to predict. We are looking at all options. We are still not sure when cricket could resume”
“If at all, IPL does happen, we don’t know where it could happen. India would certainly like to host the event, provided the environment is safe. Right now, we are not in a position to say anything. It is too early. We are yet to officially discuss the IPL schedule. But it depends on the safety of the environment. Saving human life and breaking the coronavirus chain are more important for all of us.”
As football is resuming around the globe behind closed doors, we cannot wait for cricket to return to action as well. IPL is like a festival in India. After a very hard time, it will certainly cheer up the Indians as well as all the cricket fans.

A few days back, the company Oppo covers up its Oppo Band EVA Limited Edition in celebration of the 25th anniversary of Neon Genesis Evangelion anime. But before that, it already listed the normal version of Oppo Band to its official website, along with some other e-commerce platforms.
Sad to say, only the item is added there. No specifications or pricing details are not mentioned. Fortunately from the images, Oppo released, we can gather a rough idea about some of the Band’s specifications.
By analyzing the images, firstly we can notice a Sports mode. This is very much obvious as it is a fitness band. There must be some activity tracker too. Among those, the sleep monitoring ability is confirmed. It is clearly visible in one image.
Going further, the Oppo Band will take charge via a pogo pin charger. There are the receivers at the back of the body and no other charging possible port is visible. Keeping in mind the features of Oppo watch, the Oppo Band may include VOOC fast charging.
Lastly, coming to the design. The released images say the upcoming Oppo Band is of two types. The first one is in Black with regular design and the second one is Pink with a floating design. An ‘Oppo’ branding is placed just to the downside of the screen. Need to say, the Band screen doesn’t receive any touch input but the body is water-resistant.
This Oppo Band will release in this June for sure, but the exact date is not announced yet. We are expecting the company will tease more features of this product at the time or before the release date announcement.

Apple iPhone SE (2020) was launched earlier this month and the OnePlus 8 5G along with the Pro version was launched in the previous month. Both the smartphones are priced above the Rs.40,000 range. To be exact the Apple iPhone SE (2020) is the advanced version of the previously launched SE model priced at Rs.42,500 and the OnePlus 8 is the vanilla version of the series priced at Rs.41,999.
In this case, both the smartphone’s prices are almost equal. Many of the iPhone fans want to buy this on the other hand OnePlus fans were also waiting for the 8 series. Now as both the top-notch smartphones are available in the market let’s see which one to chose and which one will be the best among these two.
Let’s have a look at the key features of the smartphones then let us move into the final decision.
Specification of Apple iPhone SE (2020):
64 GB ROM
11.94 cm (4.7 inches) Retina HD Display
12MP Rear Camera | 7MP Front Camera
A13 Bionic Chip with 3rd Gen Neural Engine Processor
Water and Dust Resistant (1 meter for Up to 30 minutes, IP67)
Fast Charge Capable
Wireless charging (works with Qi Chargers | Qi Chargers are Sold Separately)
Specification of OnePlus 8 5G:
Display- 6.55-inch FHD+ SAMOLED
Processor- Qualcomm Snapdragon 865
Front Camera- 16MP
Rear Camera- 48MP + 16MP + 2MP
RAM- 8GB
Storage- 128GB
OS- Android 10
Battery- 4300mAh
Details:
Coming to the display, iPhone SE features a smaller display than the OnePlus 8 and the refresh rate of the later is also greater. So in case of screen size and display focusing the OnePlus is more powerful. But those who love a smaller screen can go for the iPhone device.
OnePlus features an in-display fingerprint scanner whereas, iPhone implemented its old physical fingerprint scanner. It is said the fingerprint scanner of Apple iPhone devices are the most secure and accurate. This gives a plus point to the iPhone here because it is more secure than other devices.
The camera also plays a major part in this discussion. The iPhone SE comes with a single rear camera and a selfie camera at the front. Whereas, the OnePlus 8 features a very powerful triple rear camera setup including a selfie camera that is housed in the punch hole cut on the display. The resolution details are in the specification mentioned above. The main point is in real life the OnePlus camera will be more powerful and real than the other one.

Both the smartphones come with almost similar storage and both of them use flagship chipsets. The iPhone uses Apple’s latest flagship A13 Bionic chipset whereas, OnePlus 8 is powered by Snapdragon’s flagship chipset. OnePlus 8 runs on Oxygen OS based on Android 10, but there’s no competition against Apple’s legendary iOS with insane software optimizations and software updates for the next 5 years.
Now coming to the battery the OnePlus features a grater battery than the iPhone. Another important thing is that OnePlus 8 comes with a 5G connectivity whereas the iPhone SE still supporting 4G connectivity at this price range. At the end of the day, only the price range will talk and fans may have some different opinions as well.
Now coming to the gaming section, if you think which one will be a better choice for playing any game, then obviously a gamer will go for OnePlus. Because the only disadvantage iPhone SE has for gaming is that its compact screen size, whereas, OnePlus 8 features a very mesmerizing screen size with a very small punch-hole cut for the front camera and gives an amazing view for playing games. In addition to that, the AMOLED screen of OnePlus 8 supports a 90 Hz refresh rate which makes it even more smooth to run your fingers on the screen. The large battery capacity of OnePlus is also another plus point for gaming.
So from this, you can say OnePlus will be a good choice in this price range. But there is also some plus point for the Apple device, that supports wireless charging and IP67 water resistance which is an addition to the wonderful device. So now you can also say that iPhone may be a good choice as it is a compact beast as well. But overall this is a very close call because Apple will give you the brand support and OnePlus will give you everything you need in a flagship-level device. iPhone fans have a great chance to grab this smartphone as it features the flagship chipset and great camera experience at such a price. The choice depends on the user because it depends on their personal requirements.
