Affordable Galaxy A05 is nearing its launch, gets BIS & FCC certified

Samsung’s A0x smartphones debut as more budget-friendly offerings from the brand. They come with mediocre specifications but go easy on your wallet. The recent Galaxy A04 debuted last year with MediaTek Helio P35 octa-core processor. And the company could soon introduce the Galaxy A05 as it has started to bag multiple certifications. In the latest development, Galaxy A05 has received FCC and BIS certifications.

Samsung Galaxy A05 to bring 4G LTE and Android 13

Both certifications do not reveal much information about the device. For what it’s worth, FCC tells us the Galaxy A05 (SM-A055M) will bring 4G LTE as well as Wi-Fi 2.4Ghz, 5Ghz, and 5.8Ghz frequency bands support.  The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) certification, on the other hand, only reveals the model number. However, the authority hints the Galaxy A05 is nearing its Indian launch.

Samsung-Galaxy-A04

Late in July, the smartphone also received the Bluetooth SIG certification, which confirmed Bluetooth v3.0 support. It is certain the Galaxy A05 will run Android 13 out of the box with One UI 5 skin on top. However, the software may be the “core” version, made for budget-friendly phones with hardware limitations.

The Galaxy A05 is supposed to be an upgrade over the Galaxy A04, which debuted last year in August. An upgrade means likely a new processor, display improvements, and if Samsung is being generous, you might also see new camera sensors. To remind you, the Galaxy A04 brings a 6.5-inch display with an Infinity-V notch and HD+ resolution.

It gets a 5M front camera and a dual-camera system on the back, headlined by a 50MP primary shooter and a 2MP depth sensor. The device has a 5,000mAh battery unit that likely supports 10W charging.

Apple iPhone 15 Series Launch And Sale Date Tipped

Apple’s Fall event is just a month away. The Cupertino-based tech giant follows a tradition of launching the next-generation iPhones, Apple Watch Series, iPad Pros, and other announcements in September. A recent report revealed a potential launch date of the event. Now Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman in his latest ‘Power On’ newsletter has revealed the launch and sale dates of the iPhone 15.

Apple iPhone 15

Gurman in his newsletter reveals that Apple will launch the iPhone 15 on September 13 corroborating a previous report. However, there is also a possibility that the launch may happen a day earlier on September 12. Notably, Apple also follows a ritual of launching its products on the second Tuesday of the month. 

The iPhone 15 is also reported to go on sale starting September 22. This means that the Cupertino-based tech giant will get a week to register iPhone 15 sales in the fiscal fourth quarter that runs through September. Last week, Apple acknowledged that the smartphone market is facing a slowdown. The company said that it has been in a decline for the last couple of quarters in the US. This presents a challenge for the next-generation iPhones that are due to debut in a few weeks. 

The sales of the iPhone 15 series will be tested during the holiday quarter which runs from October to November. The last three generation iPhones suffered in sales aspects soon after launch due to various factors like US-China trade tensions, the COVID-19 pandemic, and supply chain constraints. This year’s iPhone 15 lineup is also expected to pack major upgrades since the iPhone 11. Hence we can expect the upcoming generation of phones to perform better. 

Leaks and rumors have revealed plenty of information left, right, and center about the iPhone 15 series. Furthermore, they are expected to gather pace in the coming weeks as we get closer to the official launch.

Redmi Note 12 Pro 4G receives Android 13 update

In April, Xiaomi unveiled Redmi Note 12 Pro 4G for select international markets. This device is an upgraded version of the Redmi Note 10 Pro from two years ago.

It was released with Android 11 but with MIUI 13 onboard. However, the handset was soon upgraded to Android 12-based MIUI 14.

Now, it has started receiving Android 13 as well. In other words, in less than 4 months on the market, Xiaomi has delivered 2 Android updates for the phone by debuting it with an outdated version of Android.

Redmi Note 12 Pro 4G

As per Xiaomiui, the Android 13 update for Redmi Note 12 Pro 4G is currently limited to Mi Pilot testers. But it should be available for all users in the coming days.

Apart from bringing a new version of Android, the system update also bumps up the security patch level to July 2023. Other than these two changes, the official changelog does not mention anything else.

Users of the smartphone can periodically head over to Settings to check whether their unit has received the fresh software update.

For the unaware, the Redmi Note 12 Pro 4G is based on the Redmi Note 10 Pro. It comes with a different design and a couple of upgrades.

The newer model arrives with a faster 67W charging support instead of 33W and a Dolby Vision-enabled display. However, at the same time, its battery capacity is slightly lower at 5,000mAh compared to a 5,020mAH battery inside the older handset.

Google Pixel Watch 2 complete specs & features leaked

We already know that Google is working on a successor to its Pixel Watch. While we have covered recent rumors, a fresh report offers us a detailed look at the specs and features that the company will offer with the upcoming Pixel Watch 2. So here’s a complete breakdown.

Qualcomm Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 & better battery

The news arrives from AndroidAuthority and reveals key specs of the Pixel Watch 2, which includes its SoC. Google’s next-gen smartwatch will replace the Exynos 9110 chipset with a more powerful and efficient Qualcomm chip. The processor in question is the Snapdragon W5 Gen 1, which features four Cortex A-53 cores that run at 1.7GHz along with a newer Adreno 702 for graphics. Similar to the first Pixel Watch, the chip will also be paired with a custom coprocessor based on an NXP chip. Google will also offer the Pixel Watch 2 in two variants, namely LTE and Wi-Fi that is codenamed “Eos” and “Aurora” like Apple and Samsung.

google-pixel-watch

Qualcomm’s Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 will be more power efficient as well, which hints at the Pixel Watch 2 offering improved battery life over its predecessor. The first-gen Pixel Watch had a 294mAh battery capacity, which is seeing a modest bump of 4 percent as the Pixel Watch 2 will be powered by a 306mAh battery pack. On paper, this doesn’t appear to offer noticeable improvements, but the more efficient chipset could help improve the overall endurance of the Watch 2.

New display but the bezels remain

Apart from the battery life, another major point of criticism for the original Pixel Watch was its chunky bezels. The Pixel Watch 2 is expected to feature an updated panel, however, it appears that the pesky bezels will make a reappearance. Google’s Pixel Watch 2 will offer the same screen real estate with a 1.2-inch OLED panel with 384 x 384 resolution. This screen is being made by Samsung, replacing BOE which supplied the first Pixel Watch. The updated panel may also enable certain battery-saving features and higher brightness.

Faster and seamless updates

The report adds that the Pixel Watch 2 will run on Wear OS 4 out of the box, which is based on Android 13. So we can expect to see improvements alongside dynamic themes. Notably, this model will be the first-ever smartwatch that supports seamless updates as well. To elaborate, the watch will update the OS in the background while the watch still runs on the older version. The smartwatch will switch to the newer version once the user reboots the device. Although, this will lead to higher storage being occupied.

Google-Pixel-Watch

UWB on the Pixel Watch 2

A major new feature in the Pixel Watch 2 is the addition of UWB (Ultra-Wide Band) technology. The smartwatch houses an NXP SR100T UWB module. For those unaware, this technology is often used for precise device-finding features. Meaning, it is pretty useful for those that tend to misplace their gadgets. As Google is working to improve its Find My Devices network, it isn’t surprising that the Pixel Watch 2 will support UWB as well. Apart from location data, the feature also enables the watch to double as a Digital Car key, which is supported by various major automobile brands.

Retail Animation

AndroidAuthority also shared a retail animation, which will likely be showcased on demo units on the Pixel Watch 2. This animation is basically built to attract customers and features cool animation in the Material style.

Apple may be working on an M3 Mac Mini

Apple is expected to release its next-gen M3 processor soon. This chipset will be equipped with various products from the brand, one of which is expected to be the new Mac Mini PC. So here are al the details.

Apple testing M3-powered Mac Mini

The news arrives from Mark Gurman in his latest Power On newsletter. Apparently, this new model is currently being tested by the Cupertino based giant. The upcoming Mac PC carries the model identified 15,12, although it wasn’t specifically mentioned if it is a mini model. The report states that the mystery Apple PC will feature an eight-core CPU and a 10-core CPU. Furthermore, this chipset will be paired with 24GB of RAM and runs on macOS Sonoma 14.1.

Mac Mini

In terms of specifications, this makes it quite similar to the base model of the M2-powered Mac Mini. Although, the base model features just 8GB of RAM. So the new Mac Mini might have a higher base storage or is likely a higher memory variant of the base model. If this news is true, Apple is working on a number of M3 Macs, which includes MacBooks as well.

Gurman stated that these M3 Macs will likely be released in the market ahead of the first fiscal quarter of 2024. This is also in line with our previous report. It is still unknown if the company is also working on an M3 version of the Mac Pro and Mac Studio. So stick around for more, as we will be providing updates when additional information is available regarding this product.

Oppo Enco M33 launched in China with ANC, 28-hour battery life, IP55 rating, and more

Oppo has quietly launched a new pair of neckband-style earphones in China. Officially called Oppo Enco M33, this pair is the successor of Oppo Enco M32 from last year.

The M32 was a downgrade over the M31 from 2020. However, at least on paper, the newer M33 is an upgrade over the outgoing M32.

Let’s go through all the features the Oppo Enco M33 neckband-style wireless earphones offer.

Oppo Enco M33

Oppo Enco M33 Specifications

The Oppo Enco M33 looks more like the OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z2. Thus, it does not sport winged ear tips like the Enco M32.

The buds house 12.4mm drivers and are claimed to deliver Hi-Fi sound output. But the earphones are neither Hi-Res Audio-certified nor support codecs like LDAC.

Anyways, the drivers are larger than the 10mm ones found inside its predecessor. Also, the latest model carries support for up to 45dB ANC (Active Noise Cancellation), which makes it the first in the series.

The product also provides AI-powered ENC (Environmental Noise Cancellation) for calls. It is IP55-rated for splash resistance, and therefore, can be used while working out or even in light rains.

The earphones connect via Bluetooth 5.2 and support instant pairing with devices running ColorOS (including Realme UI and OxygenOS). The buds feature magnets for pause/play functionality and quickly answer calls.

There’s an inline remote control for music playback controls and power/pairing. The accessory ships with three different-sized ear tips and a USB Type-A to Type-C cable.

The Oppo Enco M33 is rated to last for 28 hours on a full charge with ANC disabled at 50% volume. With active noise cancellation enabled, the battery life drops to 20 hours.

Last but not least, Oppo claims up to 20 hours of battery life (ANC disabled at 50% volume) with only 10 minutes of charging.

Oppo Enco M33 Price

The Oppo Enco M33 is priced at ¥249 (~$35) in China. It is offered in Obsidian Black and Cangling Green color options.

The product is currently up for pre-order in the region. It should make its way to other markets in the coming days, just like its predecessor.
