Interesting rumors are surfacing on X, (formerly Twitter) about Samsung potentially developing cheaper foldable phones. These phones, dubbed the “Galaxy Z Fold FE” and “Galaxy Z Flip FE,” would fall under Samsung’s Fan Edition brand, known for offering more affordable versions of existing devices. For example, the Galaxy S21 FE.
The leaked screenshot has an Exynos CPU starting with 2, which raises skepticism
However, some skepticism is advised here. The source of these leaks isn’t exactly known for perfect accuracy, and the details themselves raise some questions. For example, the leaked screenshot for the Z Fold FE mentions an unknown Exynos processor starting with “2” – either a nonexistent Exynos 2300 chip or an outdated leak. Additionally, some insiders suggest only one of these foldable FEs might actually see the light of day, but which one remains unclear.
So, while these screenshots are far from confirmation, they’re not entirely out of the blue. Whispers about Samsung venturing into Fan Edition foldables have been around before. It’s best to take this information with a grain of salt – we can’t be certain and wouldn’t recommend getting your hopes up just yet.
Samsung’s next Unpacked event, expected in early July, might shed more light on their foldable phone plans. As the event approaches, we can expect more leaks and rumors, hopefully with better accuracy. Stay tuned for future updates and coverage from Gizmochina.

OnePlus has become the latest brand to join the AI bandwagon. It has announced the rollout of a feature called AI Eraser for its smartphones. More AI-based features are also said to be in the works and arrive sometime later this year. Google and Samsung have been the only OEMs to offer generative AI capabilities on their flagship Pixel and Galaxy phones. Meanwhile, Apple is reportedly set to load GenAI into the upcoming iOS 18 in June.
OnePlus announces AI Eraser for its smartphones
As the name suggests AI Eraser is a straightforward feature that will remove unwanted elements from photos easily. This is similar to Google’s Magic Eraser which was first introduced on the Pixel 6 series back in 2021. Samsung also offers a similar feature with the Galaxy AI suite on the Galaxy S24 series and other compatible devices.
OnePlus says that its AI Eraser is based on its own large language model. The company demonstrates how the feature will work. It will appear within the OnePlus Photos gallery app. Users have to open the photo they want to edit and select the unwanted parts like people, trash or any other imperfections in the picture they want to erase. AI will then do its job by analyzing the selected area and intelligently replacing it to seamlessly blend with the original scene.
OnePlus also revealed the availability of the AI Eraser. It will be rolled out starting this month in a phased manner on the OnePlus 12 (review), OnePlus 12R, OnePlus 11, OnePlus Open, and OnePlus Nord CE 4. It remains to be seen how the feature will be delivered whether via an OxygenOS update or update to the OnePlus Photos app.

Today I got my hands on the latest mid-range phone from OnePlus – the OnePlus POCO F5…Sorry, it’s the OnePlus Ace 3V! When I first got the phone, I really thought that this phone was just like the POCO f5, with a similar design, the same flat screen, the similar plastic frame, and the same excellent Snapdragon 7+ series chip. Even their prices are close to each other.
After spending some time with this phone, I’m willing to call it a fully upgraded POCO F5.By the way, If you want to buy this latest Ace 3V, you can check it out on GeekWills:
The OnePlus Ace 3V is packed in the iconic red color box, and when you open the package, there’s a black case, a 100W charger, and A to C charging cable, and of course the phone.
However, it is worth noting that the maximum output power is not the same at different voltage inputs, the maximum output power can only be reached at 200-240V.
Design
Back to the phone, The Ace 3V only comes in two colors, purple and grey. I got the grey version and as you can see it’s a very solid grey.
The Ace 3V is made with a glass back cover, comparing it to the POCO F5, I must say that Oneplus has done a better job when it comes to texture, and in the same way as Redmi, the Ace 3V also uses a plastic frame.
The biggest change on the exterior is of course the camera, it has a 26mm main camera and a 16mm ultrawide camera.
and it also comes with the world’s only “diamond ring” flash.
yes we call it that way, because this circle right here is designed like a ring flash, but there is only one single LED bead there, SO it looks like a diamond ring.
I bet Beyonce will like this phone a lot, because”If you liked it, then you should have put a ring on it”.
The Ace 3V has a 6.74 inches straight screen and pretty small bezels.
when compare it to the Redmi Note12 Tubro, it looks that they are very close.
In terms of weight, the phone weighs 204g and with the curved glass back on the back, it feels pretty good in the hand.
In terms of other configurations that we all care about, I have created a table, you can pause and take a closer look at them.
So overall I think the Ace 3V is unimpressive in design, it’s just a very mid-range like phone.
Performance
Unlike the boring look, the performance is outstanding at this price point, it uses a powerful combination of 7+ Gen3 LPDDR5X and UFS4.0, compared to the Redmi Note12 Tubro, the Ace 3V is stronger both in soc and IO performance.
First of all, about this SOC, it not only inherits the excellent CPU cores of 8 Gen3, but also has a similar core quantity as 8 Gen2. The only problem is that the 7+gen3 has a big downgrade in L3 cache to just 4MB.
We did some testing as well and you can see that the 7+Gen3 is very close to the 8s Gen3, but both are slightly weaker than the 8 Gen2. Overall, this is a very powerful flagship level mid-range chip.
In the gaming test, I chose to test in the underwater area where the performance pressure is high, we set it to the highest graphics.
the average frame rate in 20 minutes was 56fps, very good performance. My only complaint compared to some phones with 8 Gen 2, the power consumption of the Ace 3V will be slightly higher.
In PUBG mobile, the chip shows excellent power consumption control, after setting to smooth graphics and extreme frame rate, it only needs 2.61W, and can run the game very smoothly. This is a very strong performance at low loads.
Overall the Ace 3V is a good gaming phone, the straight screen delivers a good gaming experience and the 7+ Gen3 chip is good enough for most games. However, like the 8s Gen3, too much cache downgrades results in high power consumption for both chips under high loads. Overall, these are still very good chips.
Screen
The Ace 3V uses a straight 6.74inches screen and the resolution is sharp enough at 1.5k. My only complaint about the screen is that the manual brightness is somewhat conservative at only 500nit.
In terms of dimming.DC like dimming at High brightness, 2160HZ PWM dimming at low brightness, this is a good strategy.
Camera
The Ace 3V has a 26mm main camera and a 16mm ultrawide camera, I wouldn’t expect too much from the cameras, as far as camera hardware goes.
Of course I did take some sample shots, you can take a closer look.
Overall, the main camera performs quite well. It’s good enough for everyday shooting.
Battery & Charging
The battery capacity is 5500mAh, and also keeps the weight at 204g, which will definitely satisfy most people in daily use.
The 100W charging performance is also very good, and it only takes 30 minutes to fully charge this 5500mAh battery. There is no doubt that Battery&Charging is the strength of Ace 3V.
Conclusion
In my opinion, the OnePlus Ace 3V is a nice phone with good value for money: It has a powerful chip, a nice screen, and excellent Battery&Charging solution. as I said at the beginning, you can take the Ace 3V as a completely upgraded version of the Poco F5. Considering this point, you should get a good experience with this phone.

Realme has started teasing key details of the GT Neo 6 SE smartphone in China. We have already got an official look at the upcoming offering along with some display specifications. It is set to debut in the country later this month, although the exact launch date remains unknown at this point. Now, the smartphone has surfaced on the Geekbench benchmarking platform revealing its performance scores and hardware details.
Realme GT Neo 6 SE appears on Geekbench
The Realme GT Neo 6 SE carries the model number RMX 3850 on the Geekbench benchmarking platform. It is listed with a motherboard codenamed pineapple and it comprises three cores clocked at 1.9GHz, four cores at 2.61GHz, and a primary core at 2.8GHz. The chipset powering the device is the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 is already confirmed. It was announced a few weeks ago. As per the benchmarking database, the smartphone will pack a whooping 16GB RAM and we can expect more options at launch. It will ship with pre-installed Android 14 OS out of the box.
The Realme GT Neo 6 SE scores 1,889 and 5,102 points in the Geekbench’s single-core and multi-core tests results respectively. The benchmarking listing does not reveal any additional details of the smartphone.
A front design of the smartphone revealed that the Realme GT Neo 6 SE will have very thin, almost negligible bezels surrounding the display. It will have slightly curved edges and is confirmed to feature a BOE 8T LTPO panel with 6,000 nits peak brightness and 1.5K resolution.

Apple‘s iPhones could be in for a major overhaul if the European Union (EU) gets its way. The bloc is pushing Apple to further comply with the Digital Markets Act (DMA), a regulation that fosters a more open and competitive app ecosystem.
EU Demands Uninstallable Photos App, Raising Security Concerns
At the heart of the dispute is Apple’s Photos app. According to a report by Daring Fireball’s John Gruber, EC Executive Vice President Margrethe Vestager highlighted that Apple should enable users to uninstall any app, including system-level ones like Photos.
This requirement has sparked debate as the Photos app is deeply integrated with iOS, granting access control to other apps and functioning as the camera roll. It also interacts with iCloud for storage and sharing.
Vestager believes Apple should allow third-party apps to act as the system image library. However, experts like Gruber point out the complexity of such a change, potentially requiring a significant iOS overhaul.
Apple has made some changes to comply with DMA, such as offering alternative app store options. However, the European Commission (EC) feels this isn’t enough. They are particularly concerned about Apple’s “anti-steering” measures and fees associated with alternate app stores.
While Vestager’s comments mention the Photos app specifically, it’s unclear if the EC will enforce this strictly. Some argue that the ability to uninstall Photos might be more trouble than it’s worth, potentially leading to accidental data loss.
The EU has also expressed dissatisfaction with Apple’s current browser choice screen, implemented to comply with DMA. Vestager suggests it doesn’t provide users with a fully informed decision. This could be due to the randomized list showing only the top 11 downloaded browsers alongside Safari.
The back-and-forth between the EU and Apple regarding DMA compliance is likely to continue. While the EU pushes for a more open ecosystem, concerns remain about the potential impact on user experience and data security.
Huawei revealed in its annual report that it has fulfilled its contractual rights and obligations associated with the supplementary agreement for the sale of the Honor business. Huawei signed this supplementary agreement with Honor’s buyer in 2023.
In line with previous announcements, the report confirms that Huawei has sold off its Honor business and server business-related subsidiaries. Huawei’s 2023 Annual Report adds that the sale consideration is received in installments, but the final amount of the sale is uncertain.
The Annual Report revealed that the financial instruments related to sales were measured at fair value and not market price. Furthermore, cash receipts related to these financial instruments are presented within investing activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows. The report highlights that the fair value change of financial instruments formed by the disposal of subsidiaries and businesses in 2023 amounted to a significant sum of 55.853 billion yuan.
Background information provided in the report traces back to November 2020 when Shenzhen Zhixin New Information Technology Co., Ltd. completed the comprehensive acquisition of business assets related to the Honor brand. This acquisition, jointly invested in and established by Shenzhen Smart City Technology Development Group and more than 30 Honor agents and distributors, saw Huawei relinquishing its shares in the new Honor company.
Huawei sold off its Honor brand in 2020
source: wikipedia
Huawei sold its Honor smartphone business to a consortium comprising over 30 companies, including agents, dealers, Shenzhen government-backed entities, and e-commerce platform Sunning.com Group. Notable among the buyers is China Telling Telecom, a distributor for major smartphone brands like Huawei, Samsung, and Apple.
While selling the business, Huawei acknowledged the challenges faced by its budget brand Honor in maintaining access to crucial components amid the U.S. crackdown. By spinning off Honor into an independent entity, Huawei wanted to navigate restrictions imposed by the U.S. government on its global suppliers. This strategic move was intended to safeguard Honor’s operations independently and ensure that Honor would have access to vital supplies, amidst the sanctions and restrictions imposed by Washington.
Leaks have revealed that the Samsung Galaxy M55 5G may arrive with a starting price of Rs 26,999 (~$325). This means that the device will face competition from smartphones of different brands in the same price category. The specifications of the smartphone are no secret, as it is already available for purchase in some markets, like Brazil. Previously, it was thought that the M55 could be a rebranded or tweaked version of the Galaxy A55. However, it is quite different from the A55, which is priced at around Rs 40,000 (~$480) in India.
On April 8, India will see the launch of the Galaxy M55 alongside the Galaxy M15. Are you looking forward to purchasing it? If yes, this list of the top 5 standout features of the M55 might help you.
The Galaxy M55 mid-range phone flaunts a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED+ display flanked by slim bezels. The screen offers FHD+ resolution and 48Hz to 120Hz adaptive refresh rate support.
With a maximum brightness of 1,000 nits, will be capable of delivering vibrant and stunning visuals even in bright outdoor environments.
2. Big battery with 45W fast charging
Galaxy M55 supports 45W charging
Last year, the Galaxy M54 came with a massive 6,000mAh battery that carried support for 25W fast charging. This time around, Samsung has reduced the battery size to 5,000mAh on the M55, but increased the fast-charging support to 45W.
According to the brand, the M55 can charge from 0 to 70 percent in just 30 minutes. However, like the recent Samsung, the M55 may not come with an in-box charger.
3. Longer software support
The Galaxy M55 will ship with One UI 6 based on Android 14. To recall, the Galaxy M54 model is eligible for four years of Android OS upgrades and five years of security updates.
It’s likely Galaxy M55 owners will enjoy the same generous software update policy, making it one of the longest-supported smartphones on the market.
4. Decent 4nm Snapdragon 7-series chip
Snapdragon 7 Gen 1
The Galaxy M55 is powered by the 4nm Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 chipset, which debuted in May 2022. The Honor 90 is the only other phone available in India equipped with the same chip.
The leaked prices of the M55 suggest that it will compete with the likes of Snapdragon 7s Gen 2-powered phones, such as the Redmi Note 13 Pro and the Realme 12 Pro+. For those who don’t know, the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 is quite similar to the older Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 chip.
In terms of performance, the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 may work similarly to the SD7sGen2 if not slightly better. Additionally, reports suggest that the device will come equipped with up to 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of built-in storage.
5. Versatile camera setup
Samsung Galaxy M55 camera setup
The M54 offered a 32-megapixel front camera and a 108-megapixel (OIS) + 8-megapixel (ultra-wide) + 2-megapixel (macro) triple camera unit.
The Galaxy M55, on the other hand, has an OIS-assisted 50-megapixel main camera and the same ultra-wide and macro cameras on the back. On the front, the M55 flaunts a 50-megapixel selfie camera, which means the phone will be good for people who prefer blogging and snapping selfies.
Overall, the Galaxy M55 seems like a solid mid-range contender. Its vibrant display, ample battery with faster charging, generous software support, capable processor, and versatile camera system make it an attractive option. However, it remains to be seen how it fares in real-world performance and compares to its competitors when it officially launches in India.

Xiaomi is working on a brand-new HyperOS powered smartphone from its sub brand Redmi. The device in question is the Redmi 13, which recently surfaced on major certification platforms that revealed some of its key features. So here’s everything you need to know.
Redmi 13 visits the FCC & IMEI database
The Chinese tech giant’s upcoming smartphone was spotted on the FCC and IMEI certifications. It was seen carrying the 24049RN28L model number on both platforms, while the IMEI listing confirmed its official Redmi 13 moniker.

This battery pack was certified with support for 33W wired fast charging. Unfortunately, the two certifications did not reveal any other finer details regarding this smartphone like its specifications and design. But based on its name we can expect it to be a direct successor to the Redmi 12 that launched back in 2023.
Back in December 2023, Xiaomi had also unveiled the Redmi 13C model in the Indian market. This model launched with the Dimensity 6100 SoC, 6.74-inch 90Hz HD+ display, 50MP primary camera, and more; while the Redmi 12 offered Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 (5G variant), 50MP triple cameras, and 6.79-inch 90Hz FHD+ display.

A powerful earthquake in Taiwan has rattled nerves in the tech industry, raising concerns about potential disruptions to global chip production. The 7.4-magnitude tremor, the strongest to hit the island nation in decades, forced major chipmaker Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) to evacuate some factory personnel.

Chip Shortage Fears Rise After Taiwan Earthquake
While TSMC assures its workers are safe and initial inspections revealed no major damage, a full assessment is still underway. The company’s safety protocols triggered evacuations, potentially causing production delays.
This news comes at a time when the world is already grappling with a chip shortage. The COVID-19 pandemic exposed vulnerabilities in the global supply chain, leading to a scarcity of semiconductors used in everything from smartphones to supercomputers. Any production hiccups at TSMC, the world’s largest contract chipmaker, could further strain the already stretched supply chain.
The impact on major tech companies like Apple and NVIDIA, who rely on TSMC for their chips, remains to be seen. However, a prolonged disruption could lead to price hikes for consumers as chip scarcity worsens.
The earthquake also highlights the risk of overreliance on a single region for chip production. Taiwan’s geographical location on a major fault line makes it susceptible to frequent earthquakes. Calls for diversification of manufacturing locations have been growing in recent years, especially in light of the ongoing tensions between Taiwan and China.
While the immediate impact of the earthquake appears to be minimal, the tech industry is watching closely as TSMC assesses the situation. Any production delays could exacerbate the existing chip shortage and have a ripple effect on consumers worldwide.

According to reports, Xiaomi is going through “capacity bottlenecks” or supply chain issues regarding the production of its first EV, the Xiaomi SU7. However, besides testing the car, the company is also taking measures to mitigate the supply chain issues and ramp up production to its best.
Xiaomi is taking measures to ramp up the production of Xiaomi SU7
On April 3, the company held the first batch delivery ceremony of the Xiaomi SU7 at one of the Xiaomi Automobile production facilities located in Yizhuang, Beijing. Chinese publication Securities Times (translated) reported that the company is “going all out to increase production capacity, fully mobilize supply chain partners to ensure supply, and steadily promote the early delivery of existing and future orders.”
According to the initial production schedule, monthly production is anticipated to surpass 3,000 vehicles in March of this year, increase to between 4,000 and 5,000 vehicles in April, and then stabilize at 6,000 vehicles by year-end. Not Xiaomi Motors has reportedly asked suppliers to increase production capacity to a total of 10,000 units per month.

It’s reportedly the high-end Max version of the SU7 that requires a focus on ramping up production. The recent sales of the SU7 models have also reportedly exceeded the company’s expectations. Notably, in December last year, Lei Jun noted that he definitely has expectations regarding the success of the Xiaomi car, but he also emphasizes the possibility of the product not checking all the boxes when it comes to user preferences. Surprisingly, the new product is doing fairly well in this regard.
In today’s delivery ceremony just after a few days from the launch in China, Lei Jun said that more than 100,000 people have already chosen their EV. Xiaomi Motors has officially stated that they are currently in a state of “overwhelming orders”.
