iQOO 12 and 12 Pro are expected to next big releases from the Vivo subsidiary. The two phones should launch towards the end of this year and we’re already seeing a lot of leaks about them. The smartphones were previously reported to be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor and support fast wired and wireless charging. And now a popular Chinese tipster has revealed their display specs alongside other important details.
Tipster Digital Chat Station has shared some new specifications of the iQOO 12 smartphones. He suggests the device will get a 144Hz Samsung E7 AMOLED panel that offers a 2K resolution. The tipster also mentions the OmniVision OV64B periscope zoom camera, something the tipster highlighted in previous leaks as well. DCS did not specify but it’s possible the camera sensor could be limited to the iQOO 12 Pro.
Furthermore, the iQOO 12 series is rumored to feature a metal build and support 200W fast charging. Additionally, both phones are expected to come equipped with an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner and a USB Type-C 3.x port. The tipster, known for their impeccable track record with Chinese flagship devices, adds credibility to these details.
As mentioned, both smartphones could be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, which should launch in October. We won’t be surprised to see the topmost configuration of the iQOO 12 Pro with 24 GB of LPDDR5x RAM and 1 TB of UFS 4.0 storage. Both iQOO 12 and 12 Pro should run Origin OS 4.0 based on Android 14 out of the box.
Samsung has made a few upgrades to the Galaxy Watch 6 series smartwatch this year, including a rotating bezel for navigation and a new strap attachment mechanism called the “One-click system.” Previously, users had to pull back a pin to attach or detach the strap, but the Galaxy Watch 6 uses a button instead. This makes it easier and faster to change straps, and the new system is also compatible with older smartwatches.
However, some Galaxy Watch 6 series owners have reported that the new straps can be accidentally detached. As highlighted by Sammobile, a Reddit thread has been gaining traction with users pointing out how the new one-click strap mechanism on the Galaxy Watch 6 series is a design fault.
Some Galaxy Watch 6 Strap Design Flaw
For users with pronounced wrist bones, the new strap’s quick-release button can be accidentally pressed, causing the strap to detach from the watch. This has led to some watches falling off people’s wrists, especially during exercise.
A video posted on YouTube (linked below) shows how the quick-release button can be pressed by the wrist bone, especially if the watch is worn snugly and lower than the wrist bone. Some users have suggested that the watch should be worn above the wrist bone, but others say that this is not always possible or comfortable.
Samsung has not yet commented on the issue, but there are a few things that users can do to prevent their watches from falling off. One is to wear the watch looser, which will make it less likely that the quick-release button will be pressed. Another is to use a different strap with a pin-based mechanism. Thankfully, you can use Galaxy Watch 5’s pin-based strap as it’s supported for Watch 6 too.
Also, if you are considering buying the Galaxy Watch 6, it may be a good idea to try on the watch in a physical store before you buy it. This will give you a chance to test the new strap mechanism and see if it is comfortable for you.
Volkswagen disclosed the details of the ambitious partnership with XPeng Motors and SAIC Motor Corporation, aimed at solidifying Volkswagen’s presence in the dynamic Chinese electric vehicle (EV) market. The announcement was made at the Munich Motor Show.
This groundbreaking collaboration is set to introduce a novel three-row, seven-seater SUV model named ‘ID.8’ into the automotive landscape. Anticipated to make its debut around 2026, the ID.8 will share a platform with XPeng’s G9 model, marking a significant stride as one of the pioneer “co-developed” vehicles to enter the domestic market. This launch is expected to supplant the existing Tiguan fuel version in China.
The initial impressions of the ID.8, drawn from concept designs, reveal a seamless fusion of integrated LED daytime running lights that gracefully merge into LED headlights on the front fascia, with a refined lower grille sporting an elegant smoked black mesh design.
image for representation only
Beneath the surface, the ID.8 is poised to provide consumers with a diverse array of choices, including single-motor and dual-motor variants, with the potential for selecting between lithium iron phosphate and ternary lithium battery packs. The cutting-edge EV is estimated to deliver an impressive maximum range of up to 700 kilometers. Furthermore, it may incorporate XPeng’s dual-chamber air suspension system and an intelligent assisted driving system, along with dual-laser radar and dual Orin X chips.
This strategic alliance between Volkswagen and XPeng has the potential to set a precedent for Western automakers seeking to harness Chinese EV expertise, while their Chinese counterparts can leverage global distribution networks.
The collaboration encompasses the production of two fresh battery-powered Volkswagen models, leveraging essential XPeng technologies such as vehicle-to-anything (V2X) and XNGP solutions, an advanced ADAS system comparable to Tesla’s FSD, and an innovative battery chassis architecture.
Despite XPeng’s smaller market share compared to industry giants like Tesla and local powerhouse BYD, it has garnered accolades for its unwavering commitment to advanced technologies and proprietary autonomous vehicle development. Volkswagen’s acquisition of a 5% stake in XPeng not only provides access to autonomous vehicle expertise but also unlocks XPeng’s battery and smart cabin technology.
For XPeng, this partnership offers a gateway to a more extensive customer base, as Volkswagen’s local joint ventures secured an impressive 15% share of China’s retail auto market last year. This collaboration is poised to propel the scaling of XPeng’s AV systems, enhance data collection, and refine algorithms, following a model akin to Tesla’s data feedback loop, contingent upon the success of the new models.
Simultaneously, the partnership holds the potential to elevate Volkswagen’s standing in China’s EV market, where it secured a modest 3% share of the new energy vehicle market in the preceding year. Furthermore, this strategic alignment could facilitate XPeng’s international expansion aspirations.

In a significant move, China has imposed a ban on the use of iPhones by central government officials, according to reports from unnamed sources familiar with the matter. The news sent shockwaves through the market, causing Apple shares to plummet by 3.6%, marking the company’s largest daily drop in a month, with the stock closing at $182.91 in New York. Prior to this, Apple had enjoyed a 46% increase in its stock value this year.
The Wall Street Journal reports that managers have been relaying the ban to their staff through various means, including chat groups and meetings. Despite attempts to seek clarification from both China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Apple, no official response has been received.
Remarkably, sources indicate that Chinese officials had already been informally steering clear of iPhones for some time, even before the pandemic, though there was no formal policy in place. Instead, these officials have increasingly favored smartphones manufactured by domestic companies, most notably Huawei.
This development follows a broader trend of tensions between China and the United States, which has seen restrictions placed on various Chinese tech companies. In a parallel move, some Chinese government ministries previously banned Teslas from their premises due to security concerns.
Apple’s CEO, Tim Cook, had previously made a high-profile visit to China, highlighting the country’s importance as both a market and a manufacturing hub, contributing approximately 19% of the company’s total revenue.
This iPhone ban for government officials may be viewed as a retaliatory measure in response to actions taken by the United States against Chinese technology companies. It has the potential to impact not only Apple but also other foreign brands with established operations in China.
In recent years, Huawei and ZTE have faced ongoing restrictions imposed by the U.S., with the Biden administration going so far as to halt approvals of new telecommunications equipment from these companies due to perceived national security risks.
This ban on iPhones could signal that China is unwilling to exempt any U.S. company from its efforts to reduce reliance on American technologies. China represents one of Apple’s most significant markets, generating nearly a fifth of its total revenue.
While the immediate impact on earnings remains uncertain, given the iPhone’s popularity in China, analysts believe that this move will serve as a stark reminder of the complex relationship between international companies and China, especially amid ongoing geopolitical challenges.

Ultimate Ears (UE), best known for its custom-made in-ear headphones, also has a line of speakers named after the “Boom” suffix. The trend started in 2013 with their first “Boom” speaker, and since then all subsequent speakers have had “Boom” as a suffix in their name. This includes the Megaboom, Hyperboom, myBoom, and Wonderboom. The company has now launched another speaker called EpicBoom. So let’s talk about it here.
Ultimate Ears EpicBoom Specifications
The EpicBoom is a decently large speaker that is designed to be both portable and rugged. It features a recycled polyester mesh exterior, IP67 water and dust resistance, and a built-in strap for easy carrying.
The Epicboom is powered by a 4.6-inch woofer and two 1.5-inch active mid-high frequency transducers. UE promises booming 360° audio from the speaker, and it has a number of features that make it ideal for outdoor use. It has a wireless range of 55 meters, so you can take it with you to the beach or pool without worrying about losing the signal. It also has an advertised battery life of 17 hours, so you can enjoy your music all day long without having to worry about running out of power.
There’s also an Outdoor Boost button that loudens the sound when you’re outdoors. It also has an adaptive EQ function that adjusts the sound output based on the environment. You can easily connect your devices to the speaker using NFC pairing. The speaker is compatible with Spotify, Amazon Music, and other streaming services.
However, the Epicboom is not without its flaws. Most importantly, it doesn’t have any smart features. It doesn’t come with a built-in microphone so that you can use it for calls or to wake up your digital assistant. Additionally, it does not support WiFi connectivity either.
Price and Availability
The Epicboom is available in black or white, and it costs $349.99. It is a Bluetooth-only speaker, which is a bit expensive in this day and age. The Epicboom will be available at Best Buy, Amazon and other retailers starting from 22 September.
Nokia is confirmed to launch the G42 smartphone in India on September 11. It launched in global markets in June this year. The Indian variant is expected to come with the same specifications. However, it remains to be seen if the device will come with a user repairability option as Nokia has not teased it yet. Ahead of the official launch next week, Nokia has also teased the pricing of the G42.
Nokia has conducted a poll on its Twitter account asking users to guess the price of the G42. Users have to vote out of two options which include Rs 16,xxx and Rs 18,xxx. This hints that the upcoming smartphone may be priced under Rs 18,000 segment. As per the poll, the majority of users have voted for the first option and it leads the second option by a significant difference. We should learn the official pricing and availability details of the Nokia G42 on Monday.
The Nokia G42 is confirmed to be available from Amazon. It will come with a 6.56-inch HD+ display with a waterdrop notch and a 90Hz refresh rate. It will be equipped with an OZO-powered loudspeaker. The smartphone has a side-mounted fingerprint scanner embedded in the power button and a pill-shaped rear camera module. Under the hood, the Nokia G42 is confirmed to be powered by a Snapdragon 480 chipset with support for 5G. It is teased to pack up to 11GB RAM which includes virtual RAM.

Huawei’s smartphone adventure is undoubtedly one of the saddest stories of all time. Not too long ago, the company that was vying for market leadership has lost most of its users to competitors in every country outside of China. The main reason for this is the embargo imposed by the United States. Since 2019, Huawei has been banned from working with all US companies, including Google services.
Although the company still produces great phones like the Mate 60 and manages to attract the attention of users. However, all of this could soon get much worse. A US lawmaker is calling for the US Commerce Department to end all technology exports to Huawei and China’s top semiconductor firm SMIC. Here are the details…
Huawei and SMIC at Risk of Losing Access to US Tech
A US lawmaker is calling for the US government to stop exporting technology to Huawei and SMIC, following the discovery of new chips in Huawei Mate 60 that may violate trade restrictions. Representative Michael Gallagher, chair of the House of Representatives’ committee on China, said in a statement that the new chips “likely could not be produced without US technology” and that SMIC may have violated the Department of Commerce’s Foreign Direct Product Rule. He says that this is a threat to national security.
Gallagher’s proposal is likely to face opposition from some businesses, who say that it would hurt the US economy. But he argues that it is necessary to protect national security. As we mention above, Huawei has been under US sanctions since 2019, when the Trump administration added the company to a trade blacklist over national security concerns.
The sanctions have made it difficult for Huawei to obtain the components it needs to make its products. But, Gallagher says that these sanctions have not been enough. He wants to completely cut off the two companies from US technology. It is unclear whether the US government will heed Gallagher’s call. But his proposal is a sign of the growing tensions between the US and China over technology.
