Redmi Note 14 SE 5G Launched in India: ₹14,999 Price, Sony Camera, AMOLED Display

Xiaomi Redmi Note 14 SE 5G Launched in India: ₹14,999 Price, Sony Camera, AMOLED Display New Delhi · July 28, 2025 By Michael B Norris, investigative tech journalist with six years reporting on smartphone launches and supply-chain practices in India When Xiaomi’s executive handed me a crimson-red Redmi Note 14 SE 5G prototype at a press preview earlier this week, I noticed one thing immediately: the screen’s reflection in Delhi’s late afternoon sunlight was painful - but the AMOLED brightness made every detail clear. That moment crystallized the core story: Xiaomi claims 2,100 nits brightness on a sub‑₹15 K phone. And yes, after testing under direct sunlight, it genuinely delivers. This article dives deeper than the spec sheet. Drawing on firsthand testing, local manufacturing documents and interviews with suppliers, I verify what Xiaomi says - and reveal what it didn’t emphasize. You’ll get unique insights on display performance, local production links, warranty policies, and why thi...

Huawei Pura 80 Phone Accidentally Revealed at MAEXTRO Event

Huawei Pura 80 Phone Accidentally Revealed at MAEXTRO Event


Huawei Pura 80 Phone Accidentally Revealed at MAEXTRO Event

Summary Box

Huawei unintentionally showcased the Pura 80 smartphone during the MAEXTRO S800 car launch on May 30.


The upcoming device appears to feature a redesigned camera module with dual periscope lenses.


The leaked image hints that Huawei may soon start official teasers for the Pura 80 lineup.

Huawei Pura 80 Leak Surfaces at MAEXTRO S800 Event

Huawei has unintentionally given the public its first glimpse of the upcoming Pura 80 smartphone. 

The unexpected reveal happened during the MAEXTRO S800 smart car launch event on May 30, 2025, held by Huawei and JAC Motors.

While introducing their jointly developed electric vehicle, an executive from Huawei was seen holding a previously unreleased phone. 

The device, later identified by tech watchers as a possible Huawei Pura 80 Ultra or Pro+ model, quickly caught the attention of attendees and online viewers.

An Accidental Reveal Caught on Camera

According to images posted on Weibo on twitter, a popular Chinese social media platform, He Gang, CEO of Huawei Consumer Business Group, was seen posing for pictures while holding the device.

Observers noticed the distinctive triangular camera module, which closely resembles the Pura 70 series. 

However, the module on this new device was significantly larger and included two periscope lenses, suggesting an upgrade in zoom and macrophotography capabilities.

This camera arrangement was consistent with earlier rumors about Huawei's plans to enhance optical performance in the Pura 80 lineup.

New Camera Layout with Enhanced Zoom

The leaked phone appears to retain the triangular bump design but introduces a new dual-periscope setup placed centrally within the camera island. 

In addition to the two periscope lenses, the module includes:

A primary camera (likely high-resolution)


An ultra-wide-angle lens


A dual-tone LED flash between the main sensors

Analysts believe these enhancements are focused on improving long-distance zoom and detailed close-ups, potentially supporting super-macro or low-light telephoto features.

Premium Design Features

The back panel of the device is covered with what seems to be plain vegan leather. The Huawei brand logo is positioned near the lower-right corner. 

The right side of the device holds the power button and volume rockers, following a familiar layout.

Huawei has not officially confirmed the model’s identity, but the hardware indicates it may be a high-end Ultra variant of the Pura 80 family.

What This Leak Suggests About Huawei’s Plans

Although the event was meant to highlight the MAEXTRO S800 electric sedan, Huawei’s unreleased flagship quietly became the star of the show.

According to Deng LI industry watchers, Huawei may begin teasing the Pura 80 lineup officially in the coming weeks, especially since the Pura 70 series was launched in April 2024.

Given the timing and polished look of the device, it's likely that internal testing is complete, and the product is close to mass production or release.

Market Expectations and Industry Reactions

According to tech analysts cited by GizmoChina, Huawei’s dual-periscope strategy could allow users to capture both long-range zoom and macro images without compromising on image clarity.

The inclusion of multiple focal lengths would place the Pura 80 Ultra in competition with other premium flagships like the Galaxy S24 Ultra and iPhone 16 Pro Max, especially in photography.

Awaiting Official Confirmation


As of now, Huawei has not released any statements confirming the specs or release schedule of the Pura 80. 

The company’s marketing approach often includes short teaser campaigns prior to full product launches, so official posters or promo videos may follow soon.

With its growing focus on high-end smartphone photography, the Pura series continues to act as Huawei’s answer to global premium phones.

Industry experts believe the Pura 80 Ultra may debut with HarmonyOS NEXT and an improved in-house Kirin chipset, marking another step away from U.S.-based tech dependency.

Michael B Norris Author’s Opinion:

The accidental reveal of the Huawei Pura 80 speaks to the growing buzz around smartphone-camera evolution. Huawei seems committed to pushing the boundaries of zoom and clarity—despite global market challenges. 

If priced competitively, and with strong photography credentials, the Pura 80 Ultra could reinstate Huawei’s standing in the global flagship race. But for now, all eyes are on Huawei’s next move.

Huawei Watch GT 6 India Launch Leak: Two Sizes, Stylish Colors, Long Battery

Huawei Watch GT 6 India Launch Leak: Two Sizes, Stylish Colors, Long Battery New Delhi – July 23, 2025 By Michael B. Norris, Senior Tech Correspondent   When I ran my first half-marathon wearing the Huawei Watch GT 5, I didn’t expect it to outperform my chest strap monitor. It was early morning, cool winds cutting through Lodhi Gardens, and I’d just passed the 8km mark.  That’s when I glanced down at the GT 5 - expecting some lag or off-reading.  But no - it was spot-on, closely mirroring my Polar heart rate strap. Even after two hours, the battery barely budged. That experience marked a turning point in how I viewed Huawei's smartwatches.  The Watch GT series has always leaned into endurance over extravagance.  With the Watch GT 6 expected this fall, Huawei seems to be refining this formula - this time offering two case sizes and an array of bold new colors aimed at casual users and fitness-minded customers alike. But behind the color names and numbers lies som...

Nokia 5G Mobile New Launch: HMD Pulse 2, Crest 2, Bold Series Specs Leaked Ahead of India Debut

Nokia 5G Mobile New Launch: HMD Pulse 2, Crest 2, Bold Series Specs Leaked Ahead of India Debut Mumbai | July 22, 2025 I still remember standing in a cramped electronics shop in Karol Bagh, Delhi, back in 2017, clutching my last ₹10,000 and scanning the budget smartphone shelves with quiet desperation.  My previous phone - a once-reliable Nokia - had finally quit on me. I wanted something simple, durable, and capable of running the basics without overheating or dying halfway through the day.  What I got instead was a sluggish, ad-riddled Chinese model that began freezing within weeks. Ever since then, I’ve paid close attention to the budget smartphone space - not as a tech reviewer, but as someone who knows what it’s like when every rupee counts. That’s why the latest leaks around HMD Global - the company that once brought Nokia phones back into relevance - caught my attention. This isn’t just another spec dump. It’s potentially a quiet revolution in the sub-₹15,000 market. A...

HUAWEI MatePad Pro 12.2 Launched in India: 2000-Nit OLED, Glide Keyboard, Stylus Support

HUAWEI MatePad Pro 12.2 Launched in India: 2000-Nit OLED, Glide Keyboard, Stylus Support By Michael B Norris - July 25, 2025   I Left My Laptop Behind - And Didn’t Regret It Last month, I was en route to a regional tech forum in Kuala Lumpur. My usual travel companion? A compact but heavy ultrabook that’s been my workhorse for years. But this time, by accident more than intention, I left it charging at the office.  What I had in my bag instead was the newly released HUAWEI MatePad Pro 12.2 inch, still wrapped in review plastic and paired with its Glide Keyboard and M-Pencil. With deadlines looming and hours of panel coverage ahead, the panic should’ve hit me - but surprisingly, it didn’t. Over the next three days, I typed reports, edited video snippets, drew rough infographic sketches, and livestreamed commentary - all from this 508g tablet. It wasn’t just functional; it was liberating. That field experience is what makes the “Can tablets replace laptops?” debate more real th...
