Lenovo is preparing for the imminent launch of the follow-up to the Tab M10. The upcoming mid-range tablet, named Lenovo Tab M11, has successfully passed certifications from FCC and TDRA. Its presence on the Google Play Console database has now validated key crucial specifications.
The Lenovo Tab M11, as observed on the Google Play Console with the model TB330FU, reveals the front design of the tablet. In addition to that, the database reveals that the device is equipped with 4GB of RAM, operating on Android 13 featuring ZUI, and boasting a 1200×1920 pixel resolution. Driving its performance is the MediaTek Helio G88 chipset.
Certification listings further confirm a robust 6,820mAh battery and provide insights into three configurations: 4GB RAM/64GB, 4GB RAM/128GB, and a top-tier variant with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage. The last details revealed by the listing confirm the tablet’s support for both 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi frequencies, running on ZUI 15.1.028 straight out of the box.
This listing corroborates a leak from before that hinted at details like the Helio G88 SoC, and 11-inch LCD with a resolution of 1920×1200. It also hinted at two color options: Luna Grey and Seafoam Green. Additional features may include a microSD card slot accommodating up to 1TB for storage expansion, along with pre-installed apps like YouTube Music and Google News. The 2020 Tab M10 costs around $180, so we can expect its successor to also come with a price tag under $200.
The much-anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 is set to be revealed soon. Although we’ve been featuring a similar sentence in our news for some time, and we’re aware that Nintendo has nearly finished getting ready for the eagerly awaited handheld device, we previously lacked a specific release date. However, that has changed. A Japanese video game developer has hinted at a potential release date window for the Nintendo Switch 2. Here are the details…
Level-5 Teases Nintendo Switch 2 Launch Window
Firstly, it’s important to note that an official release date for the Nintendo Switch 2 hasn’t been announced. The Japanese developer has been effective in maintaining secrecy among both employees and business partners. Nevertheless, as Nintendo has experienced, keeping information under wraps on the internet is quite challenging. A while ago, a game studio called Level-5 started developing a Switch game titled “Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time.”
Originally planned for a 2023 release, the game has been postponed to 2024 to ensure a “higher quality” gaming experience and “strategic reasons”. Instead of providing an exact date, Level-5 has opted to mention “summer” as the release timeframe for the new Fantasy Life game. The crucial aspect here is “strategic reasons.” Given Level-5’s longstanding partnership with Nintendo, gamers speculating from this connection believe that the developer is aware of the console’s summer release and intends to launch both the Nintendo Switch 2 and Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time simultaneously to enhance game sales.
Certainly, all of this goes beyond mere speculation. Unfortunately, the increasing number of leaks surrounding the release date of Nintendo Switch 2 only deepens the mystery. People eagerly anticipating the successor to the successful handheld from 2017 are enthusiastically examining every available clue.
Xiaomi pulled off the wraps from the Mijia Electric Kettle P1 Light Edition while featuring some advancements. The new Kettle offers four-step temperature control, a real-time digital display, and some other exciting features. It features a noise-reduction system when something boils in it. It looks quite minimalist and resembles the previous Electric kettles from Xiaomi.
The Kettle claims to have 47 decibels of noise when boiling water. However, there’s a 304-grade stainless steel inner tank which is quite suitable for food.

If you opt for the Tap water then the Kettle will heat water until it boils, otherwise, with the Purified water, it will keep the temperature low and will save energy.
There are four different temperature presets – 45°C, 60°C, 70°C, and 85°C that the user can set as per requirement. Xiaomi Mijia Electric Kettle draws 1800W power and packs boiling turn-off and overheating protection. Further, it brings a two-stage lid-opening process that eliminates the issue of instant steam release. It has a 1.5-liter water capacity.
Xiaomi Mijia Electric Kettle P1 Light Edition is up for grabs from JD.com and Youpin for 179 Yuan, which roughly translates to $25. Information about its global launch is not yet available.
If the user wants a bigger electric kettle, then they could check out the Xiaomi Mijia Smart Electric Kettle 5L, which is available for $36 in China.
The world of gaming eagerly anticipates each new chapter in the iconic ‘Legend of Zelda’ series, renowned for its engrossing storytelling and innovative gameplay. However, fans expecting a direct sequel to ‘Breath of the Wild’ and ‘Tears of the Kingdom’ might need to adjust their expectations. In a revealing interview, game director Hidemaro Fujibayashi and producer Eiji Aonuma shed light on the future direction of this beloved series.
The devs have stated that their new game won’t have any DLC either
The ‘Zelda‘ team, known for their creativity, is keen on exploring fresh ideas rather than treading the same path. When asked about the possibility of the Ultrahand – a notable feature in ‘Tears of the Kingdom’ – making a comeback, both Aonuma and Fujibayashi expressed a desire to innovate. Fujibayashi emphasized the importance of newness in game creation, suggesting that repeating elements like the Ultrahand could stifle creativity. This mindset is a testament to the team’s commitment to delivering unique experiences to players.
Aonuma’s insights on the development process offer a glimpse into the meticulous care taken in crafting ‘Tears of the Kingdom’. The absence of downloadable content (DLC) for this title is not an oversight but a conscious choice, reflecting the team’s belief in the game’s completeness. This approach resonates with the broader philosophy of the ‘Zelda’ franchise: to continually evolve and surprise its audience.
While the future of the series might not include a direct sequel to ‘Tears of the Kingdom’, this doesn’t diminish the excitement for what’s next. The development team acknowledges the fans’ enthusiasm for the series’ timeline and lore, yet they wisely balance this with the freedom to innovate. This ensures that each new installment not only respects the series’ heritage but also pushes boundaries in storytelling and gameplay.
As the ‘Zelda’ series moves forward, it promises to retain the magic that has captivated players for decades while venturing into uncharted territories. The commitment to freshness and creativity by its creators hints at exciting adventures ahead, keeping the spirit of exploration and wonder alive in the hearts of gamers around the world. Who knows, their next game might be a bestseller too!
In a remarkable move, China has significantly ramped up its imports of semiconductor-manufacturing equipment, a direct consequence of the United States tightening its tech export controls. October saw a near 80% surge in the value of these imports compared to the same time last year. This increase isn’t just a number; it’s a telling sign of China’s strategic maneuvering in the global tech landscape.
Chinese companies are stockpiling chip-making tools to prepare for new regulations
Semiconductor-manufacturing equipment, a key player in the production of everything from silicon wafers to integrated circuits (ICs), saw a leap from US$2.4 billion to US$4.3 billion in just one year. This jump points to a broader strategy by Chinese companies: they’re stockpiling chip-making tools in anticipation of the U.S.’s new trade controls.
The U.S. Bureau of Industry and Security’s latest restrictions aim to curb China’s access to advanced chip-making equipment. This includes lithography equipment for semiconductors on a 45-nanometre node and more mature processes. The move is an extension of earlier efforts to hinder China’s development in artificial intelligence chips and other advanced ICs.
Despite these restrictions, China’s semiconductor imports are showing signs of recovery. After a 26.5% decline in early 2023, there’s been a gradual improvement. The total value of chip imports from January to November, although lower than last year, shows a slow but steady comeback, especially in the consumer electronics sector.
The story here is not just about numbers and policies. It’s about resilience and adaptation. Faced with stringent export controls, China is not just playing defense; it’s strategically bolstering its capabilities. This development is more than an economic maneuver; it’s a testament to the dynamic and ever-evolving nature of the global tech race.
China’s response to the U.S. export controls is not merely about survival; it’s about asserting its role in the global technology narrative. This surge in semiconductor-manufacturing equipment imports may well be a stepping stone for China in its quest to become a self-reliant tech powerhouse.

Recent revelations from tipster Digital Chat Station indicate that Huawei is testing two advanced image sensors – the Sony IMX989 and the OmniVision OV50H.
This will be the first time Huawei uses a 1-inch image sensor in its flagship
The spotlight is on the 1-inch Sony IMX989, currently the largest sensor used inside a smartphone, as seen in devices like the Oppo Find X6 Pro. The large 1-inch size of this sensor increases the camera module protrusion aside from producing great photos and videos. This is the first time Huawei is working with a 1-inch smartphone image sensor.
The Huawei P70 series includes three models in total – the Huawei P70, Huawei P70 Pro, and Huawei P70 Art. The testing suggests that Huawei might use this 1-inch IMX989 sensor in at least one of these three models. Significant in context, analyst Ming-Chi-Kuo informed last month that the Huawei P70 Art will use the 1-inch IMX989 image sensor. Additionally, Kuo states that this top-end model will also utilize a 1G6P glass-plastic hybrid lens.
If this materializes, it could mark a significant leap in Huawei’s imaging capabilities considering the camera improvements we have seen in in some recent flagships.
The second image sensor Huawei is testing is the OmniVision OV50H. It has a 50-megapixel resolution and an optical format size of 1/1.3 inches. This sensor features a pixel size of 1.2μm as compared to the 1.6μm of the 1″ Sony IMX989.
The OmniVision OV50H supports full-resolution readout at 30fps, a 12.5MP mode at 120fps, and HDR in 60fps. Supporting both DCG HDR and staggered HDR, the OV50H demonstrates its prowess in dynamic range. This sensor can achieve over 100dB of dynamic range when both HDR modes are enabled. From the technical specifications, the OV50H is a strong contender in the market even if it doesn’t have the biggest surface area. The Huawei P70 series is expected to be released in the first half of 2024.

Realme C67 5G Design Teased
The Chinese tech giant shared a teaser video earlier today, 8th December 2023, on X (formerly Twitter). Looking at the trailer, Realme’s C67 5G will feature an ultra thin design. The upcoming smartphone features a body that measures a mere 7.89mm in thickness. This teaser also offers us a look at the rear design of the device, which features a shiny ring that surrounds its large circular camera module. The video also confirms the green color option of the C67.
For those unaware, the brand is set to launch the smartphone in the Indian market on 14th December 2023. While the official pricing is still unclear, the company was expected to debut the device in India for a price tag of around 12,000 INR and 15,000 INR (roughly 144 to 180 US Dollars). Based on what we know so far, the smartphone will feature a 50-megapixel primary camera on the rear. Under the hood, it may feature a Dimensity 6100+ chipset and support 33W fast charging.
Previous rumor had even revealed the retail box of the smartphone and hinted at the device featuring 4GB, 6GB, and 8GB RAM options accompanied by 128GB storage. Realme’s C67 model visited the TDRA certification last month as well. So stick around for more updates as we will be covering any leaks and rumors as well as the announcement later this month.

Under-display camera technology is present only on a few phones. Due to the complexities involved, it is not adopted widely and hence it is yet to become mainstream on smartphones. Having said that Apple has reportedly commenced work on under-display cameras for its iPhones. This will pave the way towards an all-screen bezel-less iPhone in the future.
Under display camera may make the iPhone all-screen
Apple moved away from its traditional notch display to Dynamic Island design on this year’s entire iPhone lineup. The next-generation SE model is also expected to feature the same pill-shaped cutout.
Now, in a new report, Apple aims to remove the Dynamic Island altogether in favor of an under-display camera technology on future iPhones. As per The Elec, the company’s Korean supplier, LG Innotek is said to have commenced the advanced development of an under-panel camera (UPC) system. UPC’s main issue is the loss of light transmission compared to existing selfie cameras. In simpler terms, under-display cameras produce low-quality images as less light passes through the display area. To combat this, LG Innotek is working on a special lens system called ‘freeform optic’.
The Korean supplier’s solution will control the thickness of the peripheral lens, reducing distortion, and increasing the light-intensity ratio around the optical module.
The report states that it will be a long wait for under-display camera technology to arrive on the iPhone. Apple is expected to adopt the under-panel Face ID technology in 2025’s iPhone 17. The first all-screen iPhone with UPC could debut in 2027 with the iPhone 19.

ASUS ROG Phone 8 Global Launch Teased
The Taiwanese tech giant shared the teaser image on its official X (formerly Twitter) account. The teaser simply states that the ROG Phone 8 is ‘Coming Soon.’ For those unaware, the ASUS ROG Phone 8 series is the company’s latest generation of flagship gaming smartphones and includes the ROG Phone 8, ROG Phone 8 Pro, and the ROG Phone 8 Ultra.
Unfortunately, no official launch date was revealed but since it is the direct successor of the ROG Phone 7 lineup, which launched back in April, we can expect a similar launch timeline next year. Just recently, the ASUS ROG Phone 8 and ROG Phone 8 Pro surfaced on the Bluetooth SIG certification alongside the Zenfone 11 Ultra. Similarly, the top end ROG Phone 8 Ultra had visited GeekBench (a popular benchmarking platform) with an overkill 24GB of RAM.
This same model was even spotted on China’s 3C certification authority as well. Another sighting of the devices was on the IMEI database. Based on what we know so far, the ASUS ROG Phone 8 series will be equipped with Qualcomm’s latest and greatest Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC. This is all the information we have at the moment, so stick around for more as we will be providing more updates when additional details are available regarding the upcoming gaming handsets.
Apple is reportedly considering adding a flashlight on its future smartwatches. A newly filed patent application granted to the company revealed ‘Modular Light Assembly For A Wearable Device’. The schematic in the patent application also gives us an idea of how the Cupertino-based tech giant might add an external flashlight, how it could work, and more details. Read on to know everything below.
Apple may add external flashlight to its Watches in the future
Apple Watches have a flashlight feature that cranks up the smartwatch’s brightness and turn the display completely white. This allows users to see things in a dark environment but is often inconvenient as they have to turn their wrists and point the watch’s screen.
As per the schematic in the patent, Apple will add a modular light assembly i.e. the flashlight on to the band of the Watch. This will allow the user to point it anywhere like a torch from a distance where they want to see. The application also reveals that the external flashlight will have its own battery so that the smartwatch’s battery won’t take a hit. It could also feature a button to enable or disable it without having to interact with the Apple Watch. But the patent mentions that “modular light can receive communication from the wearable device to activate (turn on) or deactivate (turn off) one or more light sources of the modular light assembly,”
Another interesting information the patent application reveals is that the modular light can be separated from the watch’s band, however, in some cases, it might be permanently attached. This suggests the possibility that the external flashlight may also be sold as a separate accessory or Apple might launch new bands with the modular light.
It’s worth noting that patent applications don’t often materialize into the final product that arrives in the market. An external flashlight on the Apple Watch does sound interesting. Garmin already offers this on some of its high-end smartwatches.

Apple is boosting its iPad production in Vietnam, making the country a key player in its global manufacturing strategy. This shift signals Apple’s efforts to find alternatives to China as a manufacturing hub and tackle uncertainties in global politics.
Teaming up with Chinese company BYD, Apple started moving iPad assembly to Vietnam in 2022. Now, Apple is taking it a step further by sending New Product Introduction (NPI) resources to Vietnam for the first time. NPI involves working closely with partners to design and develop new products, showing that Apple sees Vietnam as a reliable and capable partner.
Around mid-February, Apple will begin testing a new iPad model in Vietnam, with plans to release it in the second half of the following year. Importantly, Apple’s focus is on entry-level iPad models, not the high-end iPad Pro, showcasing a deliberate effort to diversify its manufacturing strategy.
Concerns about geopolitical tensions are pushing Apple to reduce its reliance on China, with plans to also shift some iPhone NPI processes to India. This move aligns with a broader industry trend as companies look for alternatives and ways to manage risks tied to global politics.
Vietnam is becoming a crucial part of Apple’s supply chain, emerging as a significant manufacturing hub for various Apple products. Experts predict that Vietnam could be one of the next big global manufacturing centers, given its favorable production conditions and the eagerness to invest in building more capacity.
Despite the tension between the U.S. and China, Apple is still working closely with Chinese suppliers in its manufacturing shift. The rise of Vietnam and India as essential manufacturing hubs reflects the tech industry’s ongoing efforts to diversify, not just in tablets but also in more complex products like personal computers.
As Apple strengthens its connection with Vietnam, the tech landscape is evolving, with new manufacturing centers playing a key role in shaping the future of the industry.
Xiaomi is gearing up to launch the new X Series, i.e., the Poco X6 and Poxo X6 Pro 5G, globally. The new lineup will succeed the Poxo X5 series, which was globally launched earlier this year. However, Xiaomi has not confined it officially, but the smartphone has already appeared on Thailand’s NBTC, IMEI, India’s BIS, and other certifications. The smartphone today has made it to the FCC, where some details have been unwrapped.
The listing confirms the smartphone is running HyperOS 1.0, and it will feature three different storage variants. The smartphone’s build also changes with different storage variants, here are more details
12GB RAM+512G Variant Will Come with a Plastic Frame
8GB RAM+256G will also feature a Plastic Frame
12GB RAM+512G will use PU Frame
Well, this seems quite absurd that Poco is shipping Plastic Frame for its mid-range smartphones. However, the Poco X6 Pro is slated to be the rebranded version of the Xiaomi Redmi K70E, while the Poco X6 will be the rebranded Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G. The presence of a Plastic Frame on the Poco X6 Pro 5G seems to confirm it as the rebranded Redmi K70E, as the device also features a Plastic Frame. It is quite difficult to conclude specifications until any official confirmation arrives.
Poco X6 and Poco X6 Pro Specs (Expected)
However, the Poco X6 5G recently arrived at Geekbench unveiling some information about its specifications. The smartphone is expected to feature a Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 SoC with 12GB RAM. It is running Android 13.
We expect the Poco X6 5G to feature a 6.67-inch, 12-bit, 120Hz Dolby Vision AMOLED display with 1800 nits of peak brightness, a large 200MP, f/1.7, OIS-enabled main camera, and a 5,100 mAh battery with 67W fast charging. The Poco X6 Pro 5G will feature a 6.67″ 1.5K OLED screen with up to 1800 nits peak brightness and a 120Hz refresh rate. It will be powered by the Dimensity 8300 Ultra SoC along with LPDDR5X RAM and up to UFS 4.0 storage.
The smartphone appears to bundle a triple rear camera consisting of a 64MP primary camera, 8MP ultra-wide, and a 2MP macro camera. Other specs will also match the Redmi K70E which was launched a week ago in China. The smartphone was launched at the starting price of 1999 Yuan which roughly translates to ~ $282 and Rs 23,550.
