Vivo V11 Pro is the Chinese phone maker’s next smartphone slated for launch in India on September 6, at a launch event in Mumbai. Except a few teasers on social media, Vivo is keeping its mouth shut over the details of the Vivo V11 Pro.

The Vivo V11 Pro might be one of the more affordable smartphones in India to sport an in-display fingerprint sensor.

All of the below specifications come to us courtesy a leak by Android Pure, and as we can’t verify these details, the information should be taken with a pinch of salt. Let’s get into the details now.

Vivo V11 Pro rumoured specifications

As per the leak, the dual-SIM Vivo V11 Pro will sport a 6.41-inch full-HD+ Super AMOLED display with a waterdrop-style notch on top similar to the one seen on the Oppo F9 Pro. Of course, this was also reported to have been teased by the company itself.

The phone comes with a triple card slot, including a dedicated microSD card slot with storage expandable up to 256GB.

The leak suggests that the Vivo V11 Pro will sport a vertically stacked dual rear camera setup with a 12-megapixel primary sensor and a 5-megapixel secondary lens, paired with AI scene recognition. On the front, the smartphone is expected to sport a 25-megapixel AI selfie camera with face unlocking capabilities even at night. There is expected to be a 3,400mAh battery under the hood with dual-engine fast charging capabilities. As per the renders, the smartphone will get a Micro-USB port and a 3.5mm headphone jack.

The phone will sport an in-display fingerprint sensor. Pricing for the Vivo V11 Pro has not yet been revealed by the brand but we could expect the handset to be priced around the Rs. 20,000-Rs. 25,000 price segment, keeping the Vivo V9 in mind.

The Huawei P20 and P20 Pro will be launched today at an event in Paris. The Huawei P20 Pro is widely expected to be the world’s first smartphone with triple camera setup on the back, while the P20 will have to contend with dual rear cameras. Huawei has been heavily promoting the launch event with the hashtag #SeeMooore, where the three ‘O’s represent the triple camera setup on the back. Both smartphones will also sport the iPhone X-like notch on top. Of course, as is the case with any launch these days, the Huawei P20 and P20 Pro prices and specifications have been leaked online, giving us a pretty clear picture about what we can expect from the smartphones.

Huawei P20 , Pro 20 Pro launch live stream

Huawei P20 and P20 Pro launch will be live streamed by the company on YouTube. The event is scheduled to start at 3pm CEST (6:30pm IST), and will allow fans to catch all the action from the event in real-time.

Huawei P20, P20 Pro prices

According to recent leaks, the Huawei P20 price will be EUR 649 (roughly Rs. 52,000), and the model will come with 4GB RAM and 128GB internal storage. Similarly, the Huawei P20 Pro price is said to be EUR 899 (about Rs. 72,000), and it will reportedly have 6GB RAM and 128GB built-in storage.

Additionally, the camera is said to be Leica branded and feature 5x hybrid zoom, which means that it combines optical and hybrid zoom to get to that level. Also present is a laser autofocus and lenses that have apertures ranging from f/1.6 to f/2.4.

Other leaked features of the P20 Pro include a 6.1-inch display with full-HD+ (1080×2240 pixel) resolution, 1.84GHz octa-core Kirin 970 processor, Android 8.1 Oreo-based EMUI 8.1, and a 4000mAh battery.

Coming to the P20, the rumour mill says the smartphone will only have a dual camera setup with 20-megapixel and 12-megapixel sensors. However, it will be able to deliver 2x zoom, and retain slow-mo video recording (960fps at 720p) that was originally rumoured on the flagship model. Its front camera system is also claimed to utilise Kirin 970’s NPU to enable ‘Light Fusion’, a feature to enhance selfies.

As for the Huawei P20 specifications, it is said the smartphone will sport a 5.8-inch (1080×2240 pixels) display with an odd 18.7:9 aspect ratio. It will be powered by the same Kirin 970 processor as the top model, and run on a 3400mAh battery that support SuperCharge fast-charging technology. It will measure 7.65mm of thickness and weight 165 grams, will use the USB Type-C. However, report say it will not have a 3.5mm headphone jack, and will not have an IP67-certified build.

Apart from that, the Porsche Design Huawei Mate RS edition handset may also be announced at the event. The company had indeed teased on Twitter last week a Porsche Design model at today’s launch event.

The Chinese telecommunications giant also launched the Porsche Design Mate RS at the event, continuing its partnership with the luxury design house.

Other major highlights of the smartphone is that the top variant sports 512GB of inbuilt storage, and that there is a under-display fingerprint sensor.

Huawei Porsche Design Mate RS price, availability

The Huawei Porsche Design Mate RS price starts at EUR 1,695 (roughly Rs. 1,36,400) for the 256GB inbuilt storage variant and goes up to EUR 2,095 (roughly Rs. 1,68,600) for the 512GB inbuilt storage variant.

It is powered by the octa-core Huawei HiSilicon Kirin 970 SoC (four Cortex-A73 cores clocked at 2.36GHz and four Cortex-A53 cores clocked at 1.8GHz) complete with a dedicated NPU (neural processing unit). This gives it the same AI processing chops as the P20 and P20 Pro. The Huawei Porsche Design Mate RS has 6GB of RAM.

The Huawei Porsche Design Mate RS sports a 6-inch QHD+ (1440×2880 pixels) OLED FullView display in an 18:9 display aspect ratio. It is IP67 rated for dust and water resistance.

Just like the Huawei P20 Pro, the Huawei Porsche Design Mate RS has a triple rear camera setup.

The Huawei Porsche Design Mate RS bears a 360-degree Face Unlock feature, said to unlock the smartphones in as little as 0.6 seconds. It however forgoes the home button with its ‘edgeless fingerprint’ support, and instead, moves the fingerprint sensor to the rear panel. Notably though, there is an under display fingerprint as well – this sensor also wakes up the smartphone if you hover a finger over it. The smartphone measures 152.9×72.5×8.5mm and weighs about 183 grams. It sports the same 4000mAh battery as the P20 Pro, with Huawei SuperCharge fast charging support.

Oppo F7 Specifications, Features Officially Revealed Ahead of March 26 Launch

Just a couple of days after announcing its launch date, Oppo on Friday revealed the key specifications and features of the Oppo F7 that is set to debut in India on March 26. The new smartphone will be the successor to the Oppo F5 that was launched last year and will sport an iPhone X-like notch. It will also bring a bunch of artificial intelligence (AI) backed features to take on the competition. The formal launch invite of the smartphone previously hinted that it will be announced in the presence of three Indian cricketers, namely Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya, and Ravichandran Ashwin, to attract cricket lovers in the country.

As per the new information provided by Oppo through a press note, the Oppo F7 will come with a 6.2-inch full-HD (1080×2280 pixels) Super Full Screen panel that sports an 89.09 percent of screen-to-body ratio and 19:9 aspect ratio. The handset, instead of using any physical buttons or touch controls, will support gestures to let users easily navigate between apps. This appears to be an addition highly inspired by the gesture controls on the iPhone X. Additionally, Oppo has specified that it will offer features such as an App-in-App view as well as the ability to record and share videos of gameplay on the device.

For capturing selfies, the Oppo F7 will come with a 25-megapixel camera sensor on the front. The front-facing camera sensor will also support features such as AI selfie, AI Beauty, and Real-time HDR. Further, the handset is touted to offer preloaded Cover Shot and AR (Augmented Reality) stickers. The latter between the two new features is likely to be similar to the AR stickers that were debuted on Google Pixel phones last year.

We need to wait for the official launch to obtain the price and availability details of the Oppo F7. Meanwhile, you can expect some more details in the coming days.
