Vivo S6 Will Launch With 5G Support in March

In 2019, we saw a number of Smartphones with 5G support. However, most of them belonged to the flagship tier and were too expensive for the average consumer. Analysts were expecting a more widespread adoption of 5G in the middle tier smartphones in 2020, and it looks like they were right. Recently, China News Network, via its official Weibo account, unveiled a timeline of upcoming 5G smartphone launches. Other than Oppo Find X2, Huawei P40 series, Realme X50 Pro, and Redmi K30 Pro, the post detailed that Vivo was all geared up to launch its first S-series 5G smartphone, i.e., Vivo S6. If the news is to be believed, Vivo will be shifting another line-up to 5G networking. However, the pricing will most likely be higher as compared to previously launched Vivo S-series smartphones.

Realme Band Takes on Xiaomi’s Mi Band At a Lower Price

Realme, along with its Realme 6 series, launched its first fitness band in India today. The BBK-owned OEM had already revealed almost all the specifications beforehand. Hence, none of these specifications come as a surprise. Design and Display Design-wise, the smartwatch is reminiscent of the Honor Band 3. The only difference is the plain silicone straps (Honor Band has grilled silicone straps). It does not immediately stick out in the crowd of wearables, yet the design is reasonable. The watch is available in three colors: Olive, Yellow, and Black. It comes with a 0.96” color display with 80 x 160px resolution.
