Realme is reportedly working on two new smartphones, the Realme GT Neo 6 and the Realme GT Neo 6 SE for the Chinese market. These devices are said to be equipped with the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 (tentative name) and the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 chipsets, respectively. It appears that the GT Neo 6 will also be released in India soon, as it has received approval from the BIS authority in India.
Realme GT Neo 6 coming soon to India
Realme RMX3851 certified by the BIS authority in India
Last month, a Realme phone with model number RMX3851 was spotted in the database of the Geekbench benchmarking platform. The device was found to be equipped with the upcoming Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset. Reliable Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station claimed several times that the Realme GT Neo 6 will come equipped with the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 SoC. Therefore, the RMX3851 model number appears to belong to this smartphone. It is speculated that the Chinese variant of the device has the RMX3850 model number.
The Realme RMX3851 was recently spotted in the databases of Indonesia’s TKDN and Europe’s EEC certification platforms. Now, the same device has received approval from the BIS authority in India. The BIS listing is a good hint that the country will finally receive a new GT Neo-series phone after the Realme GT Neo 3 and GT Neo 3T, which debuted in 2022.
As per the Geekbench listing, the Realme GT Neo 6 will have a Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chip, 16 GB of RAM, and Android 14. It is said to feature an OLED panel that offers a 1.5K resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate. The device is also said to come with other specs, such as 24 GB of LPDDR5x RAM, 1 TB of UFS 4.0 storage, and 100W charging. As per its appearance on camera-fv5’s database, it will feature a 50-megapixel main camera with OIS support. Unfortunately, its other details are under wraps.
Meizu recently unveiled the Meizu 21 Pro flagship phone equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip in China. It is being said that this is the last smartphone from the brand. However, a new leak, courtesy of tipster Digital Chat Station, reveals that Meizu is preparing to launch a powerful smartphone.
Meizu 21x could be in the works
It can be seen in the above screenshot that a new Meizu battery with model number BA468 has been approved by the 3C certification platform in China. It has a rated value of 5,400mAh, which suggests that its typical value could be 5,500mAh.
A new Meizu phone is in the works
Following the appearance of the aforementioned 3C listing, DCS shared a post on Weibo revealing key specifications of an upcoming smartphone without explicitly naming it. The emoji used by the leaker strongly suggests that he might be referring to a brand-new Meizu phone.
Meizu is developing a new phone with a midrange Snapdragon AI chipset, according to DCS’ Weibo post. The leaker said that the device is equipped with a flat display and is backed by a BA466 with a 5,400mAh (rated) / 5,500mAh (typical) size. He also revealed that they will be accompanied by a UP2033 power adapter that supports 66W fast charging.
In the past, the brand released phones spanning different price ranges in the Chinese market. However, over the past year, it has restricted its product line to exclusively launching flagship smartphones powered by the Snapdragon 8-series. Since the tipster has claimed that the device has a midrange chip, the device may likely feature the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 SoC.
As far as the moniker of the device is concerned, the mysterious Meizu phone could be a new addition to the Meizu 21 series. Some Weibo users claim that the device will be called the Meizu 21x when it breaks cover in the Chinese market.
From the beginning of this week, OnePlus started teasing the arrival of the OnePlus Ace 3V for the Chinese market. The brand has already revealed the front design of the phone. Today, it released two posters to confirm its launch timeframe and the chipset that it will come equipped with. Here is a look at all the new details of the Ace 3V revealed by the brand.

Running on OriginOS 4-based Android 14, the device will be powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, offering up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage. It will likely be equipped with a 5,800mAh battery supporting 120W wired and 50W wireless charging, along with the Vivo V3 chip. Additional features may include an IR blaster, dual speakers, an X-axis linear motor, a glass back, and a water-resistant chassis.
Get ready for a new kind of gaming buddy! Google DeepMind has introduced SIMA, a large language model being trained to become your in-game teammate. Is this what AI was meant for? Sounds about right.
The AI companion will perceive elements of both the map and the gameplay
SIMA, which stands for “Scalable, Instructable, Multiworld Agent,” is currently under development, but it has the potential to revolutionize the way we play games. Unlike traditional AI companions, SIMA won’t simply be another NPC character. This model is designed to be a cooperative teammate, understanding your actions and adapting its own accordingly. Imagine getting a co-op buddy in Borderlands who lets you loot first before doing it themselves. How cool would that be?
To achieve this, SIMA works on a combination of natural language processing and image recognition. This allows it to perceive the 3D game world and respond to your instructions and actions. To train this AI teammate, Google has partnered with eight game developers, including big studios behind titles like No Man’s Sky and Valheim.
Through these collaborations, SIMA is learning the fundamentals of gameplay – from basic actions like turning left and climbing ladders to utilizing menus and maps. While complex tasks like resource gathering and camp building are beyond its current capabilities, Google expects SIMA’s skillset to expand significantly in the future. It won’t be long before gamers can use a Google AI game buddy to fill up the third slot in their Apex Legends Lobby.
Apple has been granted another patent by the United States Trademark and Patent Office (USPTO) for a rather weird iPhone and iPad design. It incorporates a touchscreen display on the side of the device. This is very reminiscent of the Touch Bar previously featured on MacBook Pro models, but with a wider range of functionalities, we’re hoping.
This could be a really good and a really bad idea at the same time
The side display would serve multiple purposes. It could display control buttons and user interfaces, offer status information like battery life and weather, and even provide additional control options. Imagine adjusting the volume or skipping songs on your iPhone through a dedicated display on the side, cutting down the need for physical buttons AND the primary display. Kind of like those dedicated play/pause/skip buttons on old Nokia phones, but modernized.
One example showcases a music player interface displayed on the side, complete with song titles, lyrics, and controls for volume and playback. This could suggest Apple’s intent to build a sleeker and more minimalist design in the future, something to complement their foldable devices if they ever bring one to the market.
The real innovation lies not just in a simple side display, but in its ability to adapt to context. Rather than simply replacing physical buttons with virtual ones, the side screens would be reconfigurable, displaying controls and information relevant to the current activity. This opens doors for a more personalized user experience. It will also be literal hell if the smartphone is dropped, adding another thing to worry about if this patent makes its way onto a future device.
While the official release timeline for this technology remains unknown (and will likely stay like this in the near future), this patent reminds us how companies like Apple are continually trying to build the next big thing in smartphones, considering how we are hitting new ceilings of smartphone design. For instance, check out Apple’s handheld device patent here, which is supposed to let the users control home devices with just gestures.
The Summer Game Fest (SGF) is returning to Los Angeles on June 7th, 2024. Hosted by industry veteran Geoff Keighley (who has hosted many game conferences in his career), this two-hour event is sure to pack a thrilling showcase of upcoming games to fuel the excitement of players worldwide.
In 2023, Sony announced Spider-man 2 and FF7 Rebirth at SGF
The cancellation of E3 has left a void for major gaming announcements, and SGF has stepped up to fill it. In 2023, the festival delivered a powerful punch, featuring over 30 games, with 7 exciting world premieres. Titles like “Sonic: Superstar,” “Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown,” and “Obide” fueled the anticipation of gamers everywhere.
SGF has also become a key platform for major publishers like Sony. Last year, “Marvel’s Spider-Man 2” and “Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth” unveiled their release dates during the event, demonstrating Sony’s significant investment in the festival. Notably, these games could have been revealed at a dedicated Sony press conference, yet they chose the broader reach of SGF.
The festival’s reputation for unveiling major announcements extends beyond release dates. Trailers for highly anticipated titles like “Death Stranding Director’s Cut” and “Elden Ring” were first shown at SGF, solidifying its position as a must-watch event. With Summer Game Fest 2024 just around the corner, gamers can expect another jam-packed evening filled with world premieres, and hopefully a big, big announcement that can keep everyone powering through the rest of the year. We can only hope so!
Lenovo has finally decided to make its Legion branded gaming tablets available globally to capitalize on the growing mobile gaming market. The new tablet is simply called the Lenovo Legion Tab, which is a rebranded version of the Legion Tab Y700 2023 model (China exclusive).
Lenovo Legion Tab specs & features:
The Legion Tab boasts an 8.8-inch display, which might be on the smaller end of consumer tablets, however, the size makes it desirable for gaming since it is relatively easier to control compared to the bigger tablets. Add in the fact that Lenovo has provided a QHD+ resolution PureSight gaming panel with a 144Hz refresh rate makes it quite ideal for gaming. The panel is decently bright at 500 nits (typical) and covers the DCI-PC color gamut.
Design-wise, the tablet measures 208.54 x 129.46 x 7.6 mm, weighs 350 grams, and comes with a metal finish for its back as well as the sides. To improve gaming emersion, Lenovo has integrated a haptic system on the tablet. As for sound, the tablet has a dual speaker setup onboard tuned with Dolby Atmos.
The tablet has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor onboard, which isn’t the latest and greatest, however, it is a powerful flagship-grade chip unleashed with the help of Legion ColdFront: Vapor thermal solution, which is essentially an oversized vapor chamber. The tablet features 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 256GB onboard storage, with the option of expanding it up to 1TB through a microSD card. It features a 6550mAh battery, which is decent considering its size, as well as 45W fast charging through a USB Type-C port using Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 technology. The second USB-C port offers DisplayPort 1.4 functionality for external display support.
Our previous testing of the Legion Tab Y700 2023 tablet (review video) has revealed that it is capable of running PUGB Mobile at a constant 90 FPS and Genshin Impact at a stable 60FPS. That being said, this tablet might be the perfect device to pair with something like Boosteroid, which is a cloud gaming platform meant for devices like smartphones, tablets, etc. If you own an Xbox Game Pass subscription, you can play games like Deathloop, Dishonored series, Gears 5, Ghostwire: Tokyo, and many others on this tablet through Boosteroid.
You can even hook it up with a mouse and keyboard or controller and use it like a PC. For software, the Legion Tab offers will ship with Android 13 onboard, however, the brand says it will provide Android 14 and Android 15 updates, along with security updates up to 2028. The tablet will also have a gaming assistant software onboard that will help with toggling performance modes, turning on screen recording, and bypass charging among other features.
For optics, the Legion Tab has a 13MP primary camera and a 2MP macro camera on the back, while the front of the device features an 8MP selfie camera. For connectivity, the tablet supports Bluetooth 5.3 and Wi-Fi 6E.
Pricing & availability
The Lenovo Legion Tab is set to launch in the EMEA region (Europe, the Middle East, and Africa) and Asia starting March 2024, with a price point beginning at EUR 599.
For iPhone 15 Pro owners seeking a bolder aesthetic (not to say that the iPhone 15 design is lacking in any way), luxury brand Caviar unveils a limited-edition modification inspired by Apple’s recently unveiled Vision Pro headset. These customized iPhones make use of the Vision Pro’s sleek curves, circular accents, and signature orange highlights, offering a whole new take on the standard design of the device. However, the space-age inspiration stops at aesthetics. Read ahead to find out.
The 1TB Pro Max version is priced at a staggering $9,560
The price tag reflects the exclusivity of the device. The customized iPhone 15 Pro starts at a staggering US$8,060, with the 1TB Pro Max reaching an even higher US$9,560. Caviar also offers modification services for existing iPhones at a slightly lower US$5,910, but with only 99 slots available, these iPhones are sure to disappear fast. After all, there’s a market for everything, and Caviar wouldn’t be designing these phones if there was no one buying them.
Caviar is no stranger to out-of-the-box makeovers. They have also previously launched a Samsung S24 Ultra with a mechanical watch and a 24K gold dragon. At this point, the company is known for their extravagant customizations, like the $60,000 Valentine’s Day iPhone that was adorned with diamonds and gold – and even a heart-shaped AirTag. A little over the top, but the company is trying to carve a niche for itself.
While some may scoff at the hefty price tag for a purely cosmetic modification, Caviar’s creations clearly cater to a very small market of tech enthusiasts who value exclusivity and audacious design. These limited-edition iPhones blur the line between smartphones and art pieces, and rest assured, people will definitely ask questions about your iPhone.
When 3D printers first started becoming mainstream, no one would’ve thought that people would 3D print aircraft components out of all things. However, it actually happened. Wuhan, China, is at the forefront of this achievement, producing the world’s first 3D-printed “piston rod axle” for landing gear.
The 3D Printing machine integrates casting, forging and milling – all of it!
This massive T-shaped component is visually indistinguishable from its traditionally made metal counterpart, measuring 1.5 meters long and weighing 240 kg. The key lies in overcoming a 3D-printing hurdle: creating parts prone to cracks. Professor Zhang Haiou’s team at Huazhong University cracked the code in 2019 with a new 3D printing machine that integrates casting, forging, and milling. This overcomes limitations by bridging the gap between traditional manufacturing processes.
The benefits are more than just substantial. Professor Haiou says that there’s a 90% material reduction compared to traditional methods, leading to significant cost savings and environmental advantages. Testing confirms the 3D-printed parts are even stronger than traditionally made components. Rigorous testing has confirmed its resilience.
This achievement marks a major milestone. Currently, only a few countries can produce large aircraft landing gear. Wuhan Tianyu Intelligent Manufacturing, the company behind the innovation, is the first to 3D-print such a critical part.
Wuhan Tianyu is a leader in 3D printing, with a history of collaborating with industry giants. This innovation has the long-term potential to completely revolutionize aircraft manufacturing by offering a more cost-effective and environmentally friendly approach. It will be hard to convince people to fly in a 3D-printed aircraft one day, that’s for sure. But so was the case with the first passenger flight in 1914. Let’s hope one day, 3D-printed aircraft are safe enough for commercial flights.

Apple’s affordable iPhones are a tempting choice for tech enthusiasts worldwide, offering impressive performance for the price. However, recent reports from SellCell suggest that the redesigned iPhone SE 4 may not hold its resale value as well as Apple’s premium flagship devices. Here are the details….
The iPhone SE’s Resale Value Problem: Why It Loses Value Faster Than Other iPhones
Apple products are known for holding their value well, but a recent report reveals that iPhone SE models depreciate faster than other iPhone lines. For example, the third-generation SE, released in 2022, lost 42.6% of its value within the first month, compared to only 18.7% for the iPhone 13. This rapid depreciation could affect the appeal of the iPhone SE as an investment. While these devices offer excellent features, their resale potential may be lower than other models.

Samsung has recently introduced new AI-powered Fully Automatic Front Load washing machines in the Indian market with claims of reducing laundry times by up to 50%, while also claiming to be 70% more power efficient than traditional washing machines.
The washing machines offer up to 11KG capacity for washing & 7KG for drying. They have an AI Ecobubble feature that optimizes detergent usage by turning it into bubbles that penetrate fabric faster, even in cold water, saving energy and improving fabric care. Samsung claims 24% better soil removal, and since the AI Ecobubble tech can recognize different fabric types, it optimizes a suitable wash cycle, preserving the fabric by up to 20%.
The washing machines come with QuickDrive technology that reduces the wash time of a full load to just 39 minutes. This is possible through dynamic drum rotation with additional water shots to create more abundant and powerful bubbles. The rinsing time is shortened using Speed Spray and accelerated spin speed.
It also has Digital Inverter technology, which uses strong magnets to provide a quiet and more powerful performance, while also cutting down on energy usage. Maintainance is also super easy as the washing machine uses powerful jets of water to get rid of any residual detergent. Another feature of these machines is that they can be monitored and controlled anytime and anywhere through the Samsung SmartThings App on your smartphone. To top it all off, they comes with a 20-year warranty.
Pricing & availability
The latest AI Ecobubble lineup ranges from Rs. 67,990 to Rs. 71,990 and is now accessible via Samsung’s official online and offline channels, as well as retail stores and e-commerce platforms.
Today, March 14 marks a whole year since OpenAI announced GPT-4, their advanced language model that introduced incremental changes over its predecessor. At the time of launch, the model exhibited outstanding human-level performance on various professional and academic benchmarks and examinations. Just earlier today, the company sparked speculation after seemingly revealing details about its upcoming GPT-4.5 Turbo large language model on their blog. The article, now inaccessible, described the model as exceeding its predecessor (GPT-4) in speed, accuracy, and scalability.
People believe a release around July or August is possible
The leak’s most exciting aspect is the mention of a “knowledge cutoff” of June 2024 for the model. This means that the AI chatbot will have access to all the information on the web before the upcoming date of June 2024. While some believe this is a mistake, others think that an OpenAI release around July or August is imminent before the company moves onto the next-generation – GPT-5.
One significant upgrade in GPT-4.5 Turbo appears to be a context length window of 256K tokens, doubling the current 128K of GPT-4 Turbo. This move seems to be OpenAI’s response to competitors launching models with increasingly large context windows. Ever since Google has rebranded Bard to Gemini and introduced new updates to its AI Model, debates have been ongoing, with people thinking about the possibility of considering Gemini as their LLM of preference. It seems a new GPT model will set things even for OpenAI, or even propel it ahead of Google’s AI chatbot.
OpenAI has yet to officially address the leak, leaving the status of GPT-4.5 Turbo and the June 2024 date shrouded in mystery. It couldn’t be a complete coincidence that the leak happened exactly on the first anniversary of the GPT-4 launch (or is it?). Stay tuned to GizmoChina for future updates regarding OpenAI.
If you’re a technology enthusiast in 2024, staying up to date is an expensive hobby. Prices of rapidly advancing technological products continue to climb.
