Xiaomi has unveiled the Mi 10,000mAh Power Bank in China, a newer and slimmer version of the company’s 10,400mAh Power Bank which was launched August 2014.

Xiaomi says, “We’ve just introduced our latest 10,000mAh Mi power bank that’s 21.4% slimmer and 30% more energy dense than the 10,400mAh version! This means it can fully charge a Mi Note 2.1x, and iPad 1x.”


According to the company, the high density batteries’ import value has been reduced by 21.4 percent. It is almost similar in size to a business card and has a 30 percent increase in energy density. In terms of dimensions, the Mi 10,000mAh power bank is 60.4mm-wide and weighs 207 grams. Similar to the previous Xiaomi power bank, the new device sports a micro-USB slot, a USB slot for 5.1V/2.1A output and also offers LED notification lights.

There have been some rumours that Google is working with Huawei for the next-gen Nexus smartphone, but we are yet to see any credible leaks. Now, joining these unconfirmed reports are the alleged key specs of the Huawei-made Nexus smartphone, which recently appeared online.

Shared by an analyst on Weibo, these specifications include 5.7-inch Quad-HD display and Snapdragon 810 octa-core processor. No other details are available at this point.

Take both the possibility of Huawei as the next Nexus smartphone manufacturer and the leaked specs with a pinch of salt, as there is no shred of clear-evidence to suggest the same, just some random rumours coming from not-so-credible sources.

Honor, the global brand under Huawei announced the Honor 4C smartphone in China last week. Today the company has sent invite for the launch event on May 8th, where it is expected to launch the Honor 4C and Honor Bee smartphones. We already know that Honor 4C has a 5-inch HD display and is powered by 1.2 GHz 64-bit A53 Octa-core Kirin 620 processor. The Honor Bee is a budget smartphone with a 4.5-inch FWVGA screen and a 1.2 GHz quad-core Spreadtrum processor, according to Flipkart listing.

More specs surface for the Huawei Honor 7 Plus

We first told you about the Huawei Honor 7 Plus last month, when word got out that this phablet is in the works at the Chinese company. Back then we also got a purported leaked hands-on photo showing the handset, which you can feast your eyes upon once more if you look to the left.

Today a new rumor out of China comes to complete the spec list for the upcoming Honor 7 Plus. As you can see from the picture showing it, there will be a fingerprint sensor on the back, underneath the camera - in an arrangement that's similar to Huawei's Ascend Mate 7.

The Honor 7 Plus will come with a 5.5-inch QHD (2,560x1,440) touchscreen, a 16 MP rear camera with dual-LED flash, a 13 MP front-facing unit for selfies, 3GB of RAM, and 16GB of built-in storage space.

A big 4,000 mAh battery should be in too, while at the helm we shall find the HiSilicon Kirin 930 chipset, also made by Huawei.

Even with all these details outed, it's still unclear when the Honor 7 Plus is going to be made official, or when it will become available to buy. Pricing is also a mystery at this point, but with its high-end specs you probably shouldn't expect it to be dirt cheap.

Whenever it does make its debut, the Honor 7 Plus should be joined by the Honor 7, a smaller option for people who don't love phablets.

Huawei G Play Mini becomes official in Italy

Today Huawei has made a new smartphone official in Italy. It's called G Play Mini for whatever reason, and it's already available to purchase for €229 ($254) without a carrier contract.

The Huawei G Play Mini is rather intriguing, because it has the exact same specs as the Honor 4C which got official in China yesterday, but the design is slightly different. This is most obvious in the upper part of the front side of the two devices.

Why the company chose to pair the internals of the Honor 4C with another design and name instead of simply releasing that in Italy is still a mystery.

Anyway, if you're interested in the Huawei G Play Mini, know that it has a 5-inch 720p IPS touchscreen, a 13 MP rear camera with LED flash, a 5 MP selfie snapper, 2GB of RAM, 8GB of expandable internal storage, and a 2,550 mAh battery.

It's powered by the HiSilicon Kirin 620 chipset, which sports a 1.2 GHz octa-core CPU, and it has dual-SIM support (though no 4G LTE).

The G Play Mini could be making it to other European countries soon, now that it's gone official in Italy, but there's no information about time frames yet.
