Google has 'introduced' the Wiz Phone WP006 during its 'Google for Indonesia' event on December 4 in Jakarta.

A few days ago, we got to hear the news of OnePlus partnering up with a premium automotive brand, McLaren. OnePlus had announced that it would be launching a special edition of its latest flagship, the OnePlus 6T in partnership with McLaren. The date for the launch of this new special edition device has been scheduled to be on December 12

Asus already confirmed that it’s holding an event in India on December 11. Everyone expected that the Zenfone Max Pro M2 would be unveiled at the event. Yes, the Max Pro M2 with Snapdragon 660 SoC will be launched at the event, but alongside that, the company will also be unveiling the Asus Zenfone Max M2 with Snapdragon 632 SoC. Of course, the Max Pro M2 will steal the limelight, but the Max M2, which is the successor to the Max M1 will sport the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 632 SoC. 

With the launch of JioPhone, Reliance Jio revived the feature phone market. The demand for feature phones has witnessed a massive increase in recent times. Now, various news reports claimed that the tech giant Google has launched a feature phone named Wiz Phone WP006. The phone is said to be the first 4G-feature phone in Indonesia.

The phone is being termed as JioPhone killer, when and if, it gets launched in India. The phone runs the KaiOS operating system, same as the JioPhone.

The news has taken internet by storm. It will be a huge step if the Mountain View giant steps-in in the feature phone market. However, you will be surprised to know that Google has not really launched the phone. If Google has not launched this phone, then what is the connection between the phone and the tech giant?

Before knowing this, you must know these developments which have occurred in the last one year.

Google has invested around $22 million in KaiOS, the feature phone operating system, in June this year. The move had left many people wondering why the tech giant invested in a feature phone OS.

Coming back to the news. Google has 'introduced' the Wiz Phone WP006 during its 'Google for Indonesia' event on December 4 in Jakarta. You may wonder if Google has not launched it, then why did it introduce the phone?

There are two reasons behind this. First, the phone claimed to be the first 4G feature phone in Indonesia, which runs on the KaiOS operating system that Google has invested a huge amount in. And second, Google has introduced a phone feature. The feature is Google Assistant. Yes, the Wiz Phone WP006 supports Google Assistant, much like the JioPhone.

Or you can understand it like this. Had Google introduced Google Assistant feature on JioPhone, would you have called it a feature phone by Google? No. However, this has happened in the case of the WizPhone.

The phone has been manufactured by WizPhone that has partnered with KaiOS. The phone is 4G enabled and has a 2.4-inch screen, 512MB RAM, 4GB internal storage, 2MP rear camera, VGA front camera, Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8905 chipset and is powered by 1800 mAh battery. The phone has been priced at $7.

However, the phone doesn't support WhatsApp as yet. KaiOS replied to a Twitter user that the company is working towards WhatsApp integration.

"Hey! We are aware of the importance of WhatsApp and are working on adding more apps and features in the near future. Stay tuned!," it said.

For now, the phone has been launched in Indonesia only.

However, just days before the launch, a new leak about the phone has surfaced which reveals the specifications of this new special edition OnePlus 6T along with the premium design which it is going to feature. As per the leak, the McLaren special edition, OnePlus 6T will come with 10GB RAM, Warp charge fast charging technology and a McLaren logo on the back.

Popular tipster, Ishan Agrawal took to Twitter and revealed the images of the new McLaren edition of the phone. This new special edition of the OnePlus 6T is being called the Speed Orange variant. The McLaren limited edition device will come with a textured kevlar-style back and orange accents running across the phone’s frame, which is McLaren’s signature colour scheme. Lastly, the highlight of this phone is the McLaren logo on the lower rear side of the phone. Apart from these new additions, the form factor and other design elements like the waterdrop notch, dual rear camera and other remain the same.

Also, a marketing banner of the new McLaren edition of the OnePlus 6T has been leaked online, which points towards the direction of a whopping 10GB RAM on this device. The phone will likely boast of 256GB of internal storage. The phone has also been teased to come with OnePlus’ proprietary “Warp Charge 30” which will provide the phone with a day’s worth of charge only in 20 minutes. Further, the phone has been said to be inspired by “expert craftsmanship” which has also been the motto of McLaren.

Amazon, which is OnePlus’ exclusive partner also seems to be gearing up for the launch of this McLaren edition OnePlus 6T. A banner on the e-commerce website is up with a ‘Notify Me’ button, which the users can tap to subscribe for getting real-time updates about the launch of this limited-edition OnePlus 6T. The launch event of the phone has been named ‘Salute to Speed’. Also, interested fans of the brand will be able to buy passes for the launch event which is going to be held in Richardson and Cruddas, Byculla, Mumbai. The passes were slated to go live for sale on December 6 on oneplus.in and were available for Rs 799 each and seem to have been sold out entirely.

For the unaware, Snapdragon 632 SoC is the direct successor to the Snapdragon 625 chipset which was known for its power-saving capabilities. Notably, the Max M2 will take on the Honor 8C in India because it also packs the same chipset and will be available for purchase starting December 10.

While Asus confirmed that the Max M2 would be unveiled on December 11 in India, the smartphone has already been made available in Russia, alongside the Max Pro M2. The Asus Zenfone Max M2 will sports a 6.3-inch HD+ display, which is a step up from the 5.45-inch panel we saw on the Max M1, but the resolution is similar. At the heart of the phone, it has the Qualcomm Snapdragon 632 SoC, clubbed with 3GB, 4GB of RAM and 32GB, 64GB of internal storage. It will be interesting to see which variants will Asus launch in the country.

The Zenfone Max M2 will house a notch on top of the display, and it will rock dual rear cameras of 13MP+2MP. The front-facing camera on the Max M2 will be an 8MP one. The phone will have the same 4000mAh battery as its predecessor. To recall, the Max M1 arrived with Snapdragon 430 SoC, single rear camera and Zen UI based on Android 8.0 Oreo. The Max M2 will run stock Android out of the box, like the Max Pro M2.

As mentioned, Max M2 is already official in Russia and is listed on the company’s official website. Asus might make some changes to the specs, but the core hardware could remain the same for the Indian market. So the Max M2 will a major upgrade to the Max M1 which was released just a couple of months ago. The Zenfone Max M1 sports a 5.45-inch HD+ display, Snapdragon 430 SoC, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of internal storage, dedicated microSD card slot, 13MP rear camera, 8MP front-facing camera, Zen UI on top of Android 8.0 Oreo and a 4000mAh battery.

The Zenfone Max M2 features a bigger 6.26-inch HD+ display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 632 SoC, 3GB/4GB of RAM, 32GB/64GB of internal storage, dedicated microSD card slot, dual rear cameras of 13MP+2MP, 8MP selfie shooter, stock Android and a 4000mAh battery.

While it’s a major upgrade over its predecessor, there will be a price bump as well. We’re expecting the phone to retail at a starting price of Rs 10,999 or even Rs 9,999 is a possible price.
