The realme 5i may have just launched quite recently in Malaysia but the next model in the series is on the way. A new leak has revealed live shots of the realme 6i, showing off how the phone looks like. From the images, it seems that it will be fairly similar to the realme 5i.

Many of you must have heard the news Apple is planning to make its own 5G modems in the future. With that being said, the company might not be relying on Qualcomm anymore to support their 5G devices after the contract ends. Now, a similar case is happening to OPPO too. Instead of a 5G modem, the smartphone manufacturer is heading to something big, which is to develop its own smartphone chipset.

Due to fears of a coronavirus outbreak, GSMA yesterday confirmed that this year's Mobile World Congress (MWC) has been cancelled. Now that the event will no longer be held, there have been talks of some brands possibly running their own events during the original MWC 2020 week. It seems that this is what realme would be doing, except in a new location.

What's that now? A realme TV for real? Yes, apparently it's in the plans according to Francis Wang, the Chief Marketing Officer of realme India. From his official Twitter reply, he said "U gonna hear something exciting abt TV on MWC!"

Qualcomm has not given up on developing 4G chipsets yet, as the company has announced three new chipsets today and they are all non-5G compatible. Although 5G is making its way to our lives, it is still not that fast to be fully available in every corner of the world at the moment. Therefore, 4G smartphones will still continue hitting the market until its time has come to an end.

The user interface for a smartphone is important to many people, with some who prefer unmodified versions of Android OS. Now, Realme has confirmed that its latest iteration of Realme UI will provide a near-stock Android 10 experience and offered some details of what it can do.

With a new year comes a new start and a new week of NewsBytes. But enough of the rhyming and let's get on to the happenings for this week. Being in between new year's holidays means that news has been sparse, though we did see LG announcing some upcoming stuff for CES 2020, realme's giant Christmas tree made of smartphone boxes, and more.

Recently, a patent by realme called SUPERDART which is a fast-charging technology was posted up on Twitter by Mukul Sharma. While not much is known in regards to the aforementioned technology, gsmarena hinted that this could be a direct response to Xiaomi’s 100W charging technology.

When you’re in need of money for emergencies, you probably would think of the options like people around you, banks and loan sharks. However, have you ever thought of loaning money from a smartphone company? Today, realme has launched a comprehensive financial service platform named realme PaySa in India that will assist your financial status.

Earlier today, we saw Qualcomm announcing its latest Snapdragon 865 and 765 chipsets. At the same time, many brands have confirmed that they will be offering smartphones equipped with the new chipsets. Looks like 2020 will be a year filled with Qualcomm 5G-powered phones.
