Nokia 8.1 will be launched in India on December 10 Nokia 8.1 was unveiled by HMD Global at an event in Dubai on Wednesday. The smartphone, as expected, is indeed the global variant of the Nokia X7 that was launched in China in October, and the successor to the Nokia 7 Plus.

The highlight of Nokia 8.1 is its 6.18-inch PureDisplay with HDR10 support, its dual rear camera setup with Zeiss optics, the Snapdragon 710 SoC, the fact it runs on Android 9 Pie, and its 3,500mAh battery with 18W fast charging capabilities.

Xiaomi's Mi A2 Lite is part of the Android One program and launched this  summer running Android 8.1 Oreo, but a beta build of Android 9 Pie was made available by the company a couple of weeks ago. It looks like there weren't any huge issues with it, because now the stable update to Pie is rolling out to some Mi A2 Lite units in the wild.  XDA Developers reports that one user in Poland has shared screenshots proving he got the update and you can see below.

 Google Pixel 3 Lite Although it has past said it's only focusing on the high end of the marketplace with its smartphones, Google is now working on mid-range Pixel 3 version. This device, codenamed Sargo, has been leaked a week ago for the first time and since then we've also  seen purported camera samples . Today Sargo (which is going to be called Google Pixel 3 Lite) leaks again, this time in a shot in which it's right next to a Pixel 3.  If the similarities between these two handsets are confusing you, note that the Lite model on the left, the Pixel 3 on the right. The Lite's screen is marginally taller than the Pixel 3's, as it has a 5.56" diagonal (compared to 5.5") and an aspect ratio of 18:5:9, not 18:9.  The Pixel 3 Lite is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 670 SoC and 4 GB of RAM, 32GB of storage (though hopefully this is just the base model and you'll be able to buy a model with 64GB too) and a   2,915 mAh battery Incidentally, th...
