Along with the official teaser, the smartphone is expected to bundle VC Cooling technology to dissipate heat and offer seamless performance.

Realme GT 5 Pro Specifications (Expected)

Ahead of the official announcement, the Realme GT 5 Pro specifications details are already here via multiple leaks and rumors. The smartphone is expected to feature a curved AMOLED display with a 2K resolution. It will feature Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, LPDDR5X RAM, and UFS 4.0 Storage. It will feature a 5400 mAh battery and extends support for 100W wired charging and 50W wireless charging.

A recent DCS leak unveiled the presence of BOE AMOLED and Android 14 on board. It is tipped to bundle a triple-rear camera with a primary 50MP IMX966 Lens bundling OIS support, a 50MP OV64M telephoto lens, and a 3x Optical zoom. However, detail about the third sensor is missing.

Further, the device will come with connectivity options like 5G, 4G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, NFC, and a USB Type-C port for charging. A while back, it was spotted in Black color a month ago on Weibo and seems to ship with a circular camera module.

We expect some high-end specifications from the smartphone, as the company took considerable time to work on the new Relame GT 5 Pro.

Reliance could spend billions to acquire Disney+Hotstar in India

Reliance is apparently planning on shelling out billions of dollars to acquire Disney+Hotstar in India. Recent rumors have hinted at Disney exiting the Indian market. For this, the company is also looking to sell its local assets and Reliance might be the buyer.

Reliance May Buy Out Disney+Hotstar

According to the previous report, Disney was in talks with Sun TV, Adani Group, and Reliance Industries for the potential acquisition. Now, the latest rumor hints that the deal could close soon with Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Group. The transaction would involve Reliance acquiring a major control stake in the business, although both parties are expected to be in the negotiation stage to decide the exact valuation for the deal.

While initial rumors claimed that Disney is looking to completely exit the Indian market, a Bloomberg report believes that the company only wants to sell a controlling stake rather than completely letting go of its Indian unit. The news from Bloomberg adds that Disney is near a multi-billion dollar deal with Reliance Industries. If this deal goes through, then a vast part of the Disney+Hotstar OTT platform, including its TV channels like Star Sports and Star Gold, could fall under Reliance.

Disney is reportedly asking for 10 billion US Dollars for Hotstar and Star India. However, Reliance isn’t agreeing with this evaluation, instead valuing it for around 7 to 8 billion US Dollars. Interestingly enough, the company acquiring Disney+Hotstar implies that the Ambani led group could gain control over the TV streaming rights of cricket in the Indian market. This is a big deal considering the immense popularity of the sport in the region.

As per a leak, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 variant of the phone will be backed by a 5,120mAh battery. It is not known whether the MediaTek version will have the same-sized battery.

The iPad Pro will likely be powered by Apple’s M3 chipset. An iPad Air model with a 12.9-inch display is apparently in the works as well.

Recently, we even covered on another Gurman report that claimed that the new Apple Macs’ launch could be right around the corner. This includes a 24-inch iMac refresh, which features improved hardware that might bump the Apple PC to the M3 chipset. Keep in mind that the company hasn’t made any official announcement so far, so stick around for more updates.

Vivo is all set to unveil the mid-range smartphone on Oct. 27 in China. Today, the brand released a few posters to reveal its design, color options, display size, and battery capacity. These confirmations reveal that the Chinese variant of the Y100 will be different from its Indian edition, which went official in February of this year.

Vivo Y100 5G key specifications

To recall, the Indian version of the Vivo Y100 5G has a flat AMOLED display with a small notch, a triple camera setup on the back, and a 4,500mAh battery. It measures 7.7mm in thickness and weighs 181 grams.

In contrast, the Vivo Y100 5G seems to be a more well-placed smartphone with a larger 6.78-inch OLED display that supports Full HD+ resolution. The company has confirmed that the screen is protected with Schott’s display protection layer for durability against scratches and wear.

It houses a bigger 5,000mAh battery and sports a thin profile of only 7.49mm. While the official images show that it will come in green and blue options, there is a possibility that it may also have a black variant. The other details of the phone are yet to be revealed, but it appears that it could be the Vivo V2313A phone that was approved by Chinese certification sites like TENAA and 3C recently. While the TENAA revealed only the images of the phone, the 3C listing suggests that it may support 44W fast charging.

In related news, Vivo may launch the Vivo X100 and X100 Pro flagship phones, featuring the Dimensity 9300 chipset, in the third week of November. The brand is also said to be working on the Vivo S18 series of smartphones, which may debut in December in China.

Oct 24, 2023

The Xiaomi 14 series is set to go official on October 26 (Thursday). The company announced the launch date only yesterday and has been teasing the products since then.

Today, the firm has revealed the design of the vanilla model. It has shared the renders of the device in white color.

At the same time, the firm’s CEO has disclosed a few tidbits about the design. He even revealed a camera feature.

Xiaomi 14: Flat frame design and telephoto camera from Xiaomi 13 Pro

As per the renders posted by Xiaomi on Weibo, the Xiaomi 14 retains the flat frame design. But the frame seems to have contoured edges, just like on the latest iPhone 15 models. Thus, the phone could be more comfortable to hold in hands.

The front of the handset is equipped with a 6.36-inch centered punch-hole display with thin bezels all around. Whereas, on the rear, there’s a new double-step square island for three cameras and an LED flashlight.

Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun says that the top of the device is hole-free (like the iPhones). The engineering team managed to accomplish this by hiding the infrared sensor in the camera island, changing the speaker opening to a micro-slit design, and hiding the secondary microphone inside the earpiece area.

Further, according to the executive, the Xiaomi 14 sports a 75mm floating telephoto camera from Xiaomi 13 Pro. This camera provides a 3.2x optical zoom perspective (ideal for portraits) and 10cm close focus support for macro.

Going by the leaks, the Xiaomi 14 will come with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, LPDDR5x RAM, UFS 4.0 storage, 12-bit 1.5K 120Hz OLED display, dual stereo speakers, IP68 rating, a 4,600mAh battery, 90W wired charging, 50W wireless charging, and 10W reverse wireless charging.

Exciting news for Xbox enthusiasts! Dealabs has spilled the beans on what Microsoft has in store for us in terms of deals on the coveted Xbox Series X console for Black Friday 2023.

That being said, Microsoft currently has pre-orders open for an Xbox Series S bundle deal where you get the console, a controller, and a three-month subscription to the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. The bundle is orderable for $299.99 and will be available for direct purchase starting October 31.

Starting with Xiaomi, several other brands are expected to launch flagship phones featuring the new chip this year in China. A new leak (via. TechGoing) claims that foldable smartphones featuring the SD8G3 will debut in the beginning months of 2024.

Three Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 foldable phones coming in Q1 2024

Several reports have claimed that Vivo will be launching the Vivo X Fold 3 foldable phone in Q1 2024. The device will be joined by a more powerful variant dubbed the Vivo X Fold 3 Pro. However, it is unclear whether both devices will come equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.

Honor introduced the Honor Magic V foldable phone in the first part of 2022 and followed up with the Honor Magic Vs in the second half of the same year. In the current year, the brand has presented two more foldable phones, the Magic V2 and Magic Vs 2.

Dimensity 9300 specifications (rumored)

MediaTek is yet to reveal the technical details of the Dimensity 9300. Reports have revealed that the chip will not have efficiency as it will only feature performance cores. The AnTuTu listing of the chip revealed it has four Cortex X4 cores, four large Cortex A720 cores, and an Immortalis G720 MC12 GPU. Like the D9200, it will come with support for LPDDR5x RAM and UFS 4.0 storage.

The test device featuring the D9300 chip, 16 GB of RAM, 512 GB of storage, a 120Hz refresh rate display, and Android 14 that appeared on AnTuTu achieved the highest-ever score of 2,055,084 points on the benchmarking platform.

AMD and NVIDIA reportedly designing Arm-based Windows chips

Oct 24, 2023

AMD and NVIDIA are reportedly designing Arm-based processors for Windows PCs, according to Reuters. This could significantly boost the current low sales of Arm-based Windows PCs while cutting Qualcomm’s market share.

Qualcomm has been the sole provider of Arm-based Windows PC processors for several years now, but its agreement with Microsoft is set to expire in 2024. AMD and NVIDIA’s chips could be available as soon as 2025, giving Microsoft more options for its devices.

Microsoft is reportedly encouraging AMD and NVIDIA to include “advanced AI features” in their chips, which suggests that they could be well-suited for creative professionals and other users who rely on AI-powered applications.

Microsoft also recently introduced Windows Copilot, its AI-enhanced software, which it envisions to become an important part of using Windows. Thus, the company is emphasizing AI features in the silicon. We can also expect to see some gaming-focused features, such as powerful graphics hardware and image-upscaling technology.

Arm-based PC processors typically offer much better battery life than x64-based chips from Intel and AMD. This allows for laptops with longer endurance or thinner, lighter designs.

For instance, Qualcomm’s PC chips have been praised for their long battery life and connectivity options, but they have also been criticized for their lack of performance. The reported entry of AMD and NVIDIA into the market could put pressure on Qualcomm to improve its performance.

It is unclear exactly when AMD and NVIDIA’s Arm-based Windows chips will be released, but Reuters reports that it could happen as early as 2025.

DJI Osmo Pocket 3 leak reveals full key specs and features

Oct 24, 2023

The upcoming DJI Pocket 3 camera is shaping up to be a major upgrade over its predecessor, the Pocket 2. Leaker Igor Bogdanov has now shared the full specifications for the Osmo Pocket 3, revealing everything we need to know about the upcoming camera. So let’s talk about it here.

DJI Osmo Pocket 3 Full Specifications Leaked

The biggest change in the Pocket 3 is the new 1-inch sensor. This is significantly larger than the 1/1.7-inch sensor in the Pocket 2, and it should result in better image quality, especially in low light and when shooting slow-motion video.

The Pocket 3 will also be able to shoot 4K video at up to 120 frames per second. This is a significant improvement over the Pocket 2, which can only shoot 4K video at 60 frames per second. This makes the Pocket 3 ideal for capturing fast-paced action.

The leaked spec sheet also reveals the display details of the gimbal. According to it, the Pocket 3 will feature a larger rotating display than its predecessor, but it is still relatively small at 2 inches. The rotating design should make it easier to use the camera for selfies and other creative shots. Also, the display has a resolution of 556 x 314 pixels and a peak brightness of 700 nits.

Additionally, the gimbal will likely weigh slightly more than the Pocket 2, probably because the sensor is bigger. But it will still be one of the lightest and most portable 1-inch compact cameras on the market.

Along with the specifications, the tipster has also published a series of short unboxing videos, showing a retail version of the Osmo Pocket 3. DJI is expected to unveil its Pocket 2 follow-up on October 25, and the Osmo Pocket 3 is rumored to start at US$531 or US$676 for a Creator Combo.

The two upcoming Amazfit smartwatches have been the subject of speculation lately ahead of their official unveiling. Although there is no official statement yet, the teaser image seems to be definitive of the October 25 launch.

The Amazfit Active and Active Edge teaser image was shared by Zepp Health on social media. Two Amazfit models were listed in Tiendamia, a Brazillian e-commerce platform. The listings seemingly matched the Zepp Health teaser. The teaser image showed the outline of two models – one square and one round.
