Posted: 08 Mar 2021 04:11 AM PST

Apple's VR/AR headset may be closer than expected – a report from February claimed that the headset will launch in 2023 at the earliest, now analyst Ming-Chi Kuo says that it will be out in mid-2022. And it will be much cheaper too than previously expected too. Apple's entry into the market will happen in stages. Stage 1 is the headset. Current prototypes apparently weigh 200-300 grams, but Apple wants to drive that down to 100-200g. This will make it significantly lighter than current VR products.

vivo is expected to bring its X60 series to the global scene with a Snapdragon 870 chipset, and one of the first markets that will see the lineup is Malaysia - a launch event has been scheduled for March 22.

Redmi introduced its Note 10 series, having six different smartphones at launch. Three of them were first introduced in India, and later after a little reshuffling of the names, four made it to the global stage (the math checks out because two of those are actually the same phone under different names). The Note phones by Redmi have been best-sellers for the better half of the past decade, ever since the Redmi Note 4. Back then, there were just three of them, with no Pros and Maxes. But we are living in 2021 where companies aim to cover all price ranges - a seemingly valid strategy when...
