5G smartphones are anything but affordable yet. One of the primary reasons behind this is the fact that the technology itself is in its nascent stages. However, that doesn’t stop manufacturers to work towards democratising the new age-connectivity. HMD Global-led Nokia is planning to work on similar lines and is reportedly developing an affordable 5G smartphone.

This new phone is said to come equipped with a MediaTek Dimensity 800 series SoC and may be different from the Nokia 7.3 5G smartphone that is reportedly going to pack a Snapdragon chipset. Interestingly, the company is rumoured to be working on a couple of variants of Nokia 7.3 – One with 5G the other one without 5G support.

It is expected that 5G smartphones will be gaining momentum next year and there may be a demand for budget smartphones offering cutting edge connectivity. Hence it is rumoured that Nokia may launch a slew of 5G devices in a bid to ride the 5G wave.

While Nokia is said to be gearing up for a big 5G launch in the second half next year, however, to keep the market abuzz, this budget 5G smartphone may be unveiled in the early part of 2021. 

With almost half of the year already over, Smartphone makers are already reeling under the effects of the coronavirus outbreak. These companies are now betting big on 5G connectivity and are keen in making a strong comeback. As of now, we have limited information about the affordable 5G phone from Nokia, however, till the time we get more details, stay tuned.

In a surprise announcement, OnePlus will announce a more affordable variant of its smart TV in India next month.

Last September, the OnePlus TV Q1 and Q1 Pro made their global debut in India, alongside the 7T, marking the company’s foray into the smart television market. However, at a base price of Rs 69,900, it was one of the more premium options in the market. A new development will delight consumers who were looking for something a little more affordable — an “accessible” variant of the smart TV will launch in India on July 2.

• OnePlus TV explained: specs, price, remote, and when it's coming to you
• OnePlus wants to make cheap phones again - is the OnePlus Z coming?
• Affordable Realme smart TVs launched in India

No further details were mentioned, but with the announcement almost a month away, we expect OnePlus to slowly start teasing more aspects of the TV. The call to fame for the Q1 series was the smart software implementation, along with class-leading panel quality and a cool set of slide-down speakers. It’s unclear how many of those will make it to the new OnePlus TV, but we expect smaller sizes to be available, likely to be 43-inch and a 32-inch model.

Some of the high-end features such as the 4K QLED panel, Dolby Atmos speakers and the fancy design might not make the cut, in an attempt to bring the prices lower. However, Oxygen OS features for Android TV 9.0 should make an appearance once again.

The name of the TV has not been mentioned. It could be a model in the Q1 family, or if the recent trends are any indication, a “OnePlus TV Z” isn’t too farfetched either. It will join the Bullets Wireless Z and the upcoming OnePlus Z as an affordable alternative of its flagship offerings.

The budget smart TV space has seen a lot of new players off-late, primarily from Xiaomi, Realme, Nokia and other manufacturers. While OnePlus may not be able to match their price, it will try to bring a feature set that is yet to be seen in this segment. 

For context, the OnePlus TV Q1 Pro was priced at Rs 99,900, and sported a 50W eight-speaker array, four of which would slide down when needed. Even the OnePlus Z was earlier said to launch in India in July, but that could’ve been delayed now.
