About two weeks ago, Huawei unveiled the latest version 2.0 of its HarmonyOS. Users who have the more recent Huawei devices (like the Huawei P40) could register for the beta test before 31 January 2021. But the actual update is already being made available to some developers and Huawei's partners.

The Snapdragon 888 chipset earlier this month and Motorola is one of the brands that will have a flagship phone featuring the chipset. But while CES 2021 is just around the corner, we originally thought that Motorola won't be launching anytime soon. However, a new leak seems to hint that a launch may happen in the near future.

Based on a statement by gizmochina, it seems that the tech specs for the vivo X60 Pro may have been spotted on TENAA, giving us a better idea on what to expect when the smartphone is available globally. While not much is known in regards to the exact Malaysia release date, our source did mention that it will come equipped with an Exynos 1080 chipset.

Based on an image uploaded by Digital Chat Station on Weibo, it seems that the upcoming Xiaomi Mi 11 series smartphones will most likely not come with a charger out of the box. Other than that, there is not much information in regards to whether all of the smartphones in the series will not come with a charger, so you might want to stay tuned to the official launch that’s happening on 28 December 2020 to find out more.

It seems that Huawei has unveiled the Smart Choice MOD PLANET Smart Latex Pillow in China, which comes equipped with various sensors to help monitor your sleep for the price of RMB499 (~RM309). Unfortunately, there is no official information on whether the aforementioned pillow will be available in the local market.

Huawei launched its new Watch Fit smartwatch in China recently. It hasn't even got time to settle in yet, but there is already a rumour of a new variant. Sources claim that a more expensive 'Elegant Edition' will be coming very soon.

The under-display camera is probably the most sought-after smartphone feature in 2021. After ZTE led the industry by presenting the Axon 20 5G that comes with an under-display camera earlier this year, we believe others might have already started preparing theirs as well. With that said, a patent of Google Pixel 6 has been spotted and the device could come with one.

When you think there wouldn't be any more surprising rumours dropping before the imminent Xiaomi Mi 11's launch, think twice. Today, the brand has announced that the upcoming flagship will be the first Chinese phone to come with Corning Gorilla Glass 7. With that said, the first smartphone that is being launched with Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset is now having another "first" (Mindblown!).

Due to the pandemic, the production of smartphones has encountered several challenges this year. However, it looks like the manufacturers are quick to recover before we go into 2021. After bringing the production back to normal, it might have benefited a chip manufacturer one way or another. It is reported that MediaTek has now become the top in the chipset industry by getting the most share from the market.

The upcoming launch by Samsung will probably introduce more than just the Galaxy S21 series. We've also had news about the Galaxy Buds Pro and Galaxy Z Fold 3 appear in recent weeks. Interestingly, many sources believe that the latter will come with an S-Pen, and now there's another piece of news that supports that claim.
