The OnePlus Pad (review) debuted in the global market last February. The brand introduced the budget and toned-down OnePlus Pad Go in October last year for the Indian market. OnePlus seems to be working on the Pad 2 as we should have gotten the successor of the Pad by now. Now, the launch timeline of the upcoming offering has been tipped.

OnePlus Pad 2 expected to arrive in the second half of the year

OnePlus Pad2 will be launched in the second half of 2024
— Max Jambor (@MaxJmb) April 12, 2024

Tipster Max Jambor on X (formerly Twitter) reveals that the OnePlus Pad 2 will launch in the second half of 2024. However, he does not mention any further details about the tablet. To recall, the first-generation OnePlus Pad was released in China as OPPO Pad 2 a month after the former’s global debut. It remains to be seen if the case could be the same for the OnePlus Pad 2.

In recent times, we have been learning rumours about the OPPO Pad 3. Reliable tipster Digital Chat Station revealed that the tablet will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor. If this indeed turns out to be true, it will pack a significant upgrade compared to its predecessor which is equipped with a Dimensity 9000 SoC onboard. The same tipster had also stated last month that the OPPO Pad 3 could arrive in the second quarter of this year i.e. between April to June.

We will have to wait and see if the OnePlus Pad 2 or OPPO Pad 3 debut first. Because both are expected to be similar with the former available globally and the latter only limited to its home market.

A widely circulated photo online appears to show the first reported accident involving the new Xiaomi SU7 electric car. The photo shows a collision between a Xiaomi SU7 and a white Mercedes-Benz sedan.

The images depict significant damage to both vehicles. The Mercedes-Benz, which appears to be white, sustained a completely shattered right headlight, a bulged hood, and deformation of the front bumper and air intake grille.

The Xiaomi SU7, bearing the brunt of the impact on its right side, has two damaged doors and deployed airbags.

“Big Lizi Qiqili,” a well-known social media influencer in China, clarified that the Xiaomi SU7 belonged to him and that a colleague was filming when the accident occurred. He stated that both vehicles had green lights and that the traffic police placed full responsibility on his driver.

Following the accident, the blogger offered an update on the car’s condition. They reported that an emergency call was immediately made from within the car to confirm the situation. The airbags had deployed, but none of the interior accessories appeared to have fallen off.

Additionally, the rear flat panel remained intact, the door handles functioned normally, and the doors themselves opened without issue.

A later update confirmed the SU7 was taken to an after-sales service center for repairs. Thankfully, both the driver and the other party involved in the accident escaped with minor injuries. The blogger concluded by reminding everyone to prioritize safety while driving.

TSMC working on next-generation chip packaging which might be used on Apple’s M4 chip

Apr 12, 2024

TSMC has reportedly secured four major clients for its latest SoIC packaging – AMD, Nvidia, Broadcom, and Apple. The chip manufacturer is actively working on increasing its next-generation chip packaging (CoWoS) production capacity.

Apple is testing the next-generation packaging solution

Apple will reportedly use SoIC with Hybrid molding (thermoplastic carbon fiber board composite molding technology). The company is currently conducting a small-scale trial production and will reportedly start mass production in 2025. The company is expected to use this next-generation packaging method in its next generation of AI-powered Apple Silicon or the M4 chip.

TSMC’s SoIC is the industry’s first high-density 3D chip stacking technology which enables heterogenous integration of chips with different sizes using Chip-on-Wafer packaging. This innovative packaging method was first introduced in 2018. Reportedly, the planned advanced packaging facility in Chiayi, Taiwan will not only include two CoWoS (Chip on Wafer on Substrate) plants but also an SoIC facility.

Notably, AMD is TSMC’s first customer to adopt SoIC technology. The company used this SoIC tech along with CoWoS on the Instinct MI300 AI accelerator chips, designed for data centers.

As per Mark Gurman, Apple has officially commenced the development of the M4 chip, which will likely debut with the next-generation MacBook Pro. As TrendForce noted, there’s a possibility that Apple will switch to a 2nm process node for the M4 chip.

Regarding the release of the next Apple Silicon, we can see nearly a one and a half year gap between each of the previous iterations. The Apple M1 was released back in November 2020, the M2 was released in June 2022, and the M3 chip was released towards the end of October (a bit earlier) last year. So we can expect Apple to release the M4 chip in the first half of next year.

This new software package is 1.49GB in size, marked with the firmware version U1TL34.115-13, and it’s currently reaching users in phases. Motorola previously promised two major updates for the device, which suggests that the phone will be getting the Android 15 update in the future.

Selective media sharing, letting users grant access to particular images or videos instead of all media.

You can now self-repair your iPhone with used genuine parts

By

Apr 12, 2024

Apple has now expanded its self-repair and independent repair programs for iPhones. The change means you can now repair your smartphone on your own and most notably with used genuine parts. It’s a first for the company and a move towards a more sustainable future for iPhones.

If you’re unaware, repairs previously solely relied on new parts However, this all changes with Apple’s new “parts calibration” process. According to Apple, used parts will undergo this process upon installation in another iPhone. And as long as the part is genuine, it will function seamlessly without any restrictions.

This opens the door for users and independent repair shops to swap out faulty components with used parts from other iPhones. This program will begin this fall, starting with “select iPhone models.”

Apple emphasizes that these used genuine parts will offer the “full functionality and security afforded by the original factory calibration, just like new genuine Apple parts.”

The company also remains committed to “part pairing,” a process that verifies the authenticity of repair parts and gathers vital information about them. This ensures user privacy, security, and device safety. Previously, replacing an iPhone part with one from another phone caused issues because the part remained “paired” with its original device.

Over the past two years, Apple’s development teams have focused on enabling the reuse of even biometric components like Face ID and Touch ID sensors. This fall’s update will see the calibration process happening directly on the device itself, once the used part is installed.

Additionally, future iPhones will come pre-equipped to support used biometric sensors. This eliminates the need for customers and repair providers to provide a device’s serial number when ordering parts that don’t involve replacing the logic board.

To combat the use of stolen iPhones for parts, Apple is extending Activation Lock to encompass individual components. If a device under repair detects a supported part originating from another iPhone with Activation Lock or Lost Mode enabled, the calibration process for that part will be restricted upon installation.

Finally, Apple highlights the unique “Parts and Service history” feature within the iPhone’s Settings app. This feature allows second or third-hand iPhone owners to access a comprehensive history of repairs and replaced parts.

This fall, the “Parts and Service history” will be expanded to indicate whether a specific part is a new or used genuine Apple part, providing even greater transparency for consumers.

Apr 12, 2024

Smartphone cameras have become advanced over the last few years. Many phones come with a triple or quad rear camera setup, a higher megapixel primary sensor, software-based features, and more. Due to their compactness and additional usage, smartphones are also becoming an alternative to DSLRs unless you’re a professional photographer.

When the Xiaomi 14 Ultra (review) was unveiled globally, the company touted it as the pinnacle of smartphone imagery. Aside from top-of-the-line specifications, the phone packs flagship camera features.

A quick glance at the product page has a lot of information that we have broken down in this post. The smartphone retails at Rs 99,999 and EUR 1,499 in the Indian and European markets, respectively.

But does it justify the price tag for phone photography enthusiasts? Read on to know about it.

All things Leica

Xiaomi has partnered with legendary German camera maker Leica for the camera system on the Xiaomi 14 Ultra. The device is capable of clicking photographs quickly within just 0.7 seconds. This makes it incredibly helpful for shooting fast-moving scenes.

The phone can output Leica Authentic and Leica Vibrant looks that offer original tones and colors to images that you would get from a Leica camera. The device also features six Leica filters and adjustable parameters like tonality.

Additionally, the Xiaomi 14 Ultra is capable of shooting images in Ultra RAW format giving users the ability to post-process in software like Adobe Lightroom.

Decoding the quad-camera setup

Coming to the core subject, the Xiaomi 14 Ultra has a 50MP Sony LYT-900 1-inch primary sensor.

The main sensor has a focal length of 23mm and 46mm with 2x zoom.

The ultra-wide-angle lens has a 50MP sensor with f/1.8 and a 12mm equivalent focal length for a wider 122-degree field of view making it ideal for landscape shots.

The Xiaomi 14 Ultra boasts 50MP telephoto and 50MP periscope lenses. Both have floating technology that lets you shift the focus range from 10cm to infinity. The telephoto unit has a focal range of 75mm whereas the periscope offers a 120mm to 240mm range. The latter also has up to 70x zoom capability.

The entire quad-camera setup on the Xiaomi 14 Ultra has OIS that ensures images are shake and blur-free.

Master Portrait lens system

If you have ever used a DSLR, you might be familiar with various lens systems available and the purpose they serve. The master portrait lens system on the Xiaomi 14 Ultra offers the same experience.

It lets you capture up-close portrait shots with a 23mm focal length. A 35mm focal length gives you a wider field of view in your portraits.

Meanwhile, a professional photographer’s favorite 50mm equivalent focal range lets you capture portraits with a stunning shallow depth of field and blur effect. A 75mm focal length is for capturing from a distance making it ideal for street portraits without being susceptible.

Doesn’t compromise on videography

Aside from photography, the Xiaomi 14 Ultra’s videography features are also impressive. All four lenses are capable of recording up to 8K resolution at 30 fps. If you want a higher 60 or 120 fps while recording, the resolution is scaled back to 4K.

The device supports Dolby Vision HDR technology and 10-bit LOG recording. However, the former is only limited to 4K at 60 fps. The phone is also said to achieve fast and stable focus tracking.

Finally, the smartphone is also equipped with a three-dimensional four-mic array setup that ensures audio in the video is captured clearly.

A compact professional camera-like looks

The Xiaomi 14 Ultra has a huge protruding circular module on its back panel that gives a professional camera-like look.

In India, the smartphone is also offered in Reserve Edition which has bundled accessories including a limited edition protective case, a 67mm filter adapter, and more.

Meanwhile, the China and global variants get a handle with a built-in 1,500mAh battery unit, a custom dial, a video recording button, a two-stage shutter button, and a zoom lever.

iQOO is gearing up to launch a new smartphone, which could be the next-gen flagship killer. The latest leak reveals high end specs on the upcoming iQOO Neo 9s Pro that may arrive with an affordable price tag. So here are all the details.

iQOO Neo 9s Pro: Flagship Power at a Budget

The brand is set to unveil the iQOO Z9 series in its home market of China later this month. But after the iQOO Z9, Z9x, and Z9 Turbo, the Neo 9s Pro is reportedly next in line. This model was spotted on the 3C certification earlier this week. Now, the specs and pricing of the next gen device have been revealed. The iQOO Neo 9s Pro is expected to launch with a 120W wired fast charging.

Now, known tipsters on Weibo (Via TechOutlook) claimed that the smartphone will be equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC. But despite these capable specs, the Neo 9s Pro may launch for a mid-range price tag. This model could announce the new flagship killer for under 3,000 Yuan, which is roughly around 410 US Dollars. Apart from the chip refresh, there’s a possibility that the Neo 9s Pro’s other specifications may be identical to the Neo 9 Pro (Chinese variant).

Recently, the smartphone was also spotted on the Google Play Console with the V2339A model number. However, this was the global variant, which was listed with the MediaTek Dimensity 9300. Unfortunately, this is all the information we have at the moment, so stick around for more updates regarding this device.
