Xiaomi seems to be gathering the rest of the week before the announcement of new products, including smartphones, televisions, new home appliances and more, bombard us with all kinds of details about their features. One of the new products should be the Xiaomi Mi Watch smartwatch, which has already been demonstrated on the official render on the one hand. Then we learned that they are equipped with the so-called digital crown, like the smartwatch Apple Watch, and an additional physical control button.

Image
The Honor brand is reportedly preparing to introduce a new inexpensive tablet called Honor Tab 6. The novelty is noteworthy in that it will receive the SoC Kirin 810, that is, everything will be fine with performance. However, given the situation with the Honor 9X, the fate of the international version of the Honor Tab 6 is in question. Be that as it may, the tablet should be presented along with the Honor V30 smartphone. Given the parameters of the Tab 5 model (in the picture), we can assume that the new product will receive an eight-inch Full HD screen, 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of flash memory. There is no data on the price, but Tab 5 was priced at only $ 165, so you can expect about the same price from Tab 6.
