Oppo is gearing up for a significant launch in China this month, unveiling its much-anticipated third-generation foldable phone, the Find N3. This event is anticipated to feature not only the N3 but also a lineup of other devices. As per insights from a Chinese tipster, Oppo’s upcoming launch event in China will see the arrival of two foldable phones such as the Find N3 and Find N3 Flip, an Oppo Pad Air 2 tablet, and the Oppo Watch 5 series.

Oppo Find N3 and Find N3 Flip

Reports have revealed that the Find N3 will be equipped with key features, such as a 3.36GHz Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, a triple camera unit featuring a 64-megapixel periscope telephoto camera, and 50W wireless charging. To know more, readers can visit this page.

The Find N3 Flip is poised to retain the design and specifications of the original Find N2 Flip. The primary difference between the two lies in the camera department. While the Find N2 Flip has a dual-camera setup, the N3 Flip is expected to arrive with a triple camera unit housing a 32-megapixel telephoto camera.

Oppo Pad Air 2, Watch 5 series

The Oppo Pad Air 2 reports have revealed that it will house an 8,000mAh battery and support 5G connectivity. The rest of its specifications are yet to be revealed.

Given the cultural avoidance of the number 4 in China, often considered unlucky, the next smartwatch iteration from Oppo might likely adopt the name Watch 5. As per reports, the Watch 5 is rumored to flaunt a curved-edge AMOLED display, a robust 570mAh battery, and eSIM support. The smartwatch is expected to be available in hues of white and black carbon fibre. It is unclear which other Oppo products may debut alongside the above-mentioned devices. The series is likely to include two models, such as the Watch 5 and the Watch 5 Pro.

Chinese smuggler caught with 837 CPUs, 10 SSDs & 900 RAM sticks in car’s undercarriage

Aug 7, 2023

A Chinese smuggler has been apprehended by Chinese customs officials with a huge tranche of CPUs, SSDs, and RAM sticks. The cache of tech devices was found during a routine search on the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao bridge. The packages were undeclared in a passenger car this is one of the biggest smuggling busts in recent times.

A Weibo blog post by Chinese Customs provided the optics of the smuggling bust which occurred on August 4. The attention of the customs officers was first aroused when the automated machine inspection flagged abnormal content. A further manual inspection revealed the materials in the undercarriage. An unusual underbody seam structure pointed to a possible stash of items. This subsequently resulted in a large section revealing the meticulously wrapped packages. The package contained 837 CPUs, 10 SSDs, and 900 RAM sticks.

The smuggling of goods from Hong Kong or Macau into the mainland is mainly in pursuit of better profits. Smugglers hope to make better profits on the mainland where 13% VAT is applicable. The estimated value of the huge cache of smuggled items has not been stated, but this could be huge. This is not also an isolated incident of smuggling or failure to declare the import of high-value tech components. The Chinese customs authorities have continued to make recoveries of such nature in varying magnitude.

According to the Weibo report, most smugglers are easily identified through their suspicious behavior. It is unclear what is the fate of the suspected smuggler but he could possibly face a jail term or a fine.

They provide a bridge between conventional cycles and electric motorcycles.

Both models were designed with customer feedback and a focus on cost-effectiveness. They are equipped with an 8.0Ah fixed battery pack. The front suspension and disc brakes system in the models ensure a smooth and stable ride. Additionally, the single-speed design of the two bikes makes navigating various terrains to be easy.

The single level of pedal assistance and throttle available in both the Alpha A and Alpha I enhance the user-friendliness of the models. It is therefore easy for riders to switch between modes when required. The models also feature an LCD screen for real-time ride information. Other features of the Alpha A and Alpha I are ergonomic seats, rubber grip handles, a 250W hub motor, brake sensors, and an ultra-lightweight design.

Aug 7, 2023

We have very little time left to meet the iPhone 15 series. According to claims, the company’s eagerly awaited new phone will be introduced on September 12. As the reveal of the iPhone 15 gets closer, we keep learning new things about these upcoming phones. The most recent gossip is about the biggest model, the iPhone 15 Ultra (also known as iPhone 15 Pro Max). Here are the details…

The iPhone 15 Ultra May Have a New Button That Changes Everything

Apple is expected to use the term “Ultra” with its new generation iPhone 15 Pro Max model. In addition to this, a significant design change is expected in the phone. Recently, images were revealed that are claimed to be the case of the flagship version of the iPhone 15 model, and details about the new ‘action button’ of the iPhone 15 series have also started to emerge.

Apparently the cases of the iPhone 15 Ultra models show a third button that should replace the old mute switcher pic.twitter.com/6XIKgBMJVN
— Majin Bu (@MajinBuOfficial) August 6, 2023

As you may know, up until now, all iPhone models have had a switch-like button right above the volume keys. Users could use this button to mute their phones and avoid unwanted situations. However, according to recent information shared by a leakster named Majin Bu, this button will be transformed into a new ‘action button’. This button, which doesn’t have a clear function, could be set to perform different tasks.

Although it is stated that these cases are not original, manufacturers produce these cases based on the iPhone product models they get. On the left side of the cases, we now see three button locations, which is unusual. While there are larger buttons for volume up and down at the bottom, a slightly recessed design appears for the new ‘action button’ at the top. The design we are used to continues in other parts of the case.

This programmable button is expected to act as a shutter button due to its ability to perform different tasks. We’ll see what kind of innovations Apple’s new ‘action button’ will bring to us. So, what do you think about the case claimed to be for iPhone 15 Ultra and the new ‘action button’? Already miss the mute switch like me?

Aug 7, 2023

Realme has launched the fastest-charging smartphone to date, the Realme GT 3, which supports 240W charging. The company continues to push the envelope in the charging department and has plans to launch more phones with extreme charging capabilities. The Realme GT 5 is already rumored to support 240W charging with a 4600mAh battery, and now a tipster suggests that the company has a smartphone with 150W charging support in the works.

According to the tipster Digital Chat Station, Realme is taking the lead in the industry with its impressive 150W + 5200mAh battery and 240W + 4600mAh battery charging solutions. The company is apparently working on a new phone that will feature the first configuration.

The tipster also spilled the beans that OnePlus is in the process of developing a 150W power and high-current UFCS solution, though the battery for the initial model is on the smaller side. Right now, it seems like the focus is on increasing battery capacity for the ultra-100W fast charging solution, while progress on developing second-level 300W charging is currently slow.

Realme kicked off this year by introducing the Realme GT Neo5 (review) in China. This smartphone boasts 240W fast charging and a 4600mAh battery. Notably, there’s also a variant of the Realme GT Neo5 with a punchy combo of 150W fast charging and a beefy 5000mAh battery. Interestingly, this same phone was rebranded as the GT 3 for the global market.

But that’s not all, Realme GT 5 is currently in the pipeline. It should sport a whopping 24GB of RAM and a massive 1TB of storage. It’ll offer two battery options: one with 240W fast charging coupled with a 4600mAh battery, and another with 150W fast charging and an even larger 5200mAh battery.

The device apparently rocks a sleek 6.74-inch 1.5K “ultra-narrow” flat display that supports a 144Hz refresh rate and 2160Hz PWM dimming. For selfies, there’s a 16-megapixel front camera, while the rear boasts a 50MP IMX890 main shooter with OIS optical anti-shake, an 8MP lens, and a 2MP sensor.

Aug 7, 2023

While many of us know Huawei for its smartphones and excellent laptops like MateBook X Pro 2023, the company continues to expand its product line and branch into different industries. One such is the automotive industry. The company has been investing in this area for a long time, and most recently, they announced their first pure electric sports sedan. This vehicle (Huawei Luxeed), featuring HarmonyOS 4, will be released this quarter with an innovative design. Here are the details…

Huawei’s First Pure Electric Sports Sedan to Launch this Quarter with HarmonyOS 4

Huawei is set to launch its first pure electric sports sedan in the coming quarter. The new vehicle, which is being developed under the company’s automotive industry plans, will be the first of its kind to feature Huawei’s HarmonyOS 4 operating system. In a promotional poster released by Huawei, the new car can be seen with a sleek, streamlined design.

The front of the vehicle is equipped with large, round headlights and utilizes a closed grille design, emblazoned with the letters “LUXEED”. It is speculated that this may be related to the model of the new vehicle. The side of the car features hidden door handles, with black wheel hubs matched with red brake calipers, giving it a sporty aesthetic.

Additionally, the car is equipped with a radar on the roof, indicating promising potential for intelligent driving. The launch of Huawei’s first pure electric sports sedan marks Huawei’s entry into the increasingly competitive electric vehicle market, and it also underscores the company’s ambitions in the automotive sector.

Huawei has been investing heavily in automotive technology in recent years, and it has partnered with a number of car manufacturers, including Cyrus and BAIC. The launch of the new car is also a major boost for HarmonyOS 4. We don’t know who will make the Luxeed yet. However, many people think it will be made by Chery.

There are also rumors that the Luxeed will be built using the same design used in some of Chery’s vehicles. This supports the idea that Huawei and Chery might be working together on this car. For now, this is all we know about the Luxeed, which is expected to be a new type of smart vehicle.

Huawei says we’ll get more information about the Luxeed in the next few months. We look forward to learning more when the car is officially introduced.

Apple’s iPhone 16 Pro to Take Smartphone Photography to the Next Level with Stacked Design CIS

Aug 7, 2023

We have very little time left to meet the iPhone 15 series. According to claims, the company’s eagerly awaited new phone will be introduced on September 12. However, as you know, things move very quickly in the technology world, and according to claims, Apple has already started working on the iPhone 16. Moreover, new information about these works has managed to shed light on the camera features of the iPhone 16. Here are the details…

How Stacked Design CIS Will Make the iPhone 16 Pro Camera a Revolutionary Leap Forward

If you’re a technology enthusiast and you often read Gizmochina, you’ve probably heard the name Ming-Chi Kuo. This analyst, who has specialized in Apple, often learns about most things regarding the company shortly after Tim Cook. His analyses, which also often turn out to be accurate, help us get an idea about the company’s future. Most recently, Kuo presented us with an interesting claim about the iPhone 16 Pro’s camera.

Ming-Chi Kuo says that Apple is planning to use a new kind of camera sensor in the iPhone 16 Pro. This sensor is called a “stacked design CIS”. CIS is a type of image sensor that has its readout circuit and photodiode layers stacked on top of each other. This makes the sensor faster and more sensitive to light, which means that it can take better pictures in low-light conditions.

Stacked design CIS also offers better image quality overall. Because it can process data faster, stacked design CIS can take sharper and more detailed photos. It can also capture a wider range of brightness levels, which means that your photos will look more natural.

In addition to its improved low-light performance and image quality, stacked design CIS also offers other benefits, such as faster autofocus and better video stabilization. This decision means that Sony, who makes the CIS, will have to work really hard to keep up with the demand until 2025.

Asus says No to bootloader unlocking on Zenfone 10 and future phones

Aug 7, 2023

When the debate between Android and iOS heats up, the former side often highlights Android’s customizable features, including the ability of Android phones to unlock the bootloader. While most manufacturers still provide this functionality, Asus seems to have moved away from it. The company has reportedly disabled the bootloader on devices such as the Zenfone 9, Zenfone 10, and upcoming phones.

Asus’ tech team recently told a user that they can no longer unlock the bootloader on Zenfones, and this will not change in the future (Via Android Authority). The user was asking about unlocking the Zenfone 9. The Asus support email was very clear that unlocking will not be an option for both the Zenfone 9 and Zenfone 10.

This news may not please users who like to install custom ROMs and third-party apps. For those who don’t know, unlocking the bootloader is the process of removing the security restrictions that prevent you from modifying the software on your Android device. This allows you to install custom ROMs, root your device, and perform other advanced tasks.

There’s no official word yet on whether Asus is really cracking down on bootloader unlocking. Also, a Reddit user is saying that the company’s developer contact on their Telegram channel isn’t aware of any such situation. They mentioned that the unlock tool server is just undergoing maintenance and should be back in action in Q3.

It looks like there’s a bit of inconsistency in the responses from different support teams, which definitely makes you wonder. We’ll have to wait and see which information turns out to be accurate. Keep an eye out for updates.

Aug 7, 2023

The excitement around AI is growing rapidly, as evidenced by the popularity of features like ChatGPT, which have taken over the tech industry by storm. The majority of existing tools have incorporated AI over the past few months for a faster and more efficient experience. Microsoft’s Edge browser appears to be moving in this direction as well, with the addition of a new text rewriting feature borrowed from another Microsoft product, SwiftKey.

A recent Tweet by Leopeva64, who discovered a new option to rewrite a text in Microsoft Edge with Bing AI, confirms that this feature will soon be available for desktop users as well.

Features of the new Bing Rewriting Tool

Rewrite Text Selection: A GIF shared in the tweet reveals that the selected text will come with an option to rewrite and replace.
Tone: The “Adjust” button will allow users to select the Tone of the text for example casual and professional etc.
Format: There is also an option for changing Format, which will allow users to rearrange the text in a paragraph, email, or blog.
Length: Lastly the selected text length can be rearranged as short, medium, and long.

After you have made the adjustments, you can simply select the “Rewrite” button, and the text will be readjusted.

One thing to note is that this feature is currently in its testing phase; not everyone will have access to the “Ask Bing AI” option. But few desktop browsers have allowed Bing AI to be available in their toolbar, such as Google Chrome and Safari.

Aug 7, 2023

What’s the most valuable thing you own? For many of you, the answer might be your house, your car, or if you’re a bit younger, your computer or smartphone. However, some items that may seem worthless at first glance could be worth more than you could ever imagine. Aware of this, thieves stole $300,000 worth of gaming trading cards at Gen Con 2023. Here are the details…

Thieves Steal $300,000 in Rare Gaming Trading Cards

I’m sure many of you have seen content online about how valuable trading cards can be. For example, recently, a card from a Lord of The Rings series, called the One Ring, was found by someone and it became popular when its value exceeded 1 million dollars. Apparently, this situation, which has also been trending on social media, has caught the attention of thieves.

Gen Con, the biggest board game convention in the world, took place recently. This year marked the 55th time the event was organized. It featured over 19,000 events, which included board games, card games, miniature games, role-playing games, live-action role-playing games, video games, and apparently, a couple of theft.

Unfortunately, Gen Con made headlines this year not for its events, but for a theft that occurred. Two unidentified thieves stole gaming cards worth as much as $300,000. They were seen on security footage, moving a pallet of cards out of the convention center. The exact cards that were stolen are unknown, but it is believed they are a mix of Magic: the Gathering, Pokémon Trading Card Game, and the unreleased Disney Lorcana.
