Jul 14, 2023

The Nintendo Switch successor’s launch might be just around the corner. The company’s highly anticipated Switch 2 model has surfaced in new rumors that hint at a launch that isn’t too far away.

Nintendo Switch 2 could launch in 2024

Nintendo’s Switch 2 is apparently set to launch sometime next year. The news arrives from court documents from the recent Microsoft and FTC case. In a particular paragraph, Microsoft mentions the successor of the Switch. The document reads “Switch was released three years earlier, and Nintendo is expected to release the successor to the Switch as early as next year, whereas PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X|S are at a different stage of the console life cycle”.

This means that Nintendo’s competitors in the gaming space are expecting the next-gen handheld console to launch in 2024. Although, Doug Bowser, President of Nintendo, feels that the Switch still has a couple of years left. Earlier this year, the official stated that “It’s exciting to see that demand is still there. So nothing to announce on any future console or device, but we are still feeling very bullish about Nintendo Switch.”

Keep in mind that this is still just an unconfirmed report, so take this news with a pinch of salt for now. Back in June, we also covered another report where an Activision Blizzard executive claimed that the Nintendo Switch 2 could be just as powerful as the Sony PlayStation 4 and Microsoft Xbox One. So stick around for more updates regarding this matter.

My experience with the Motorola Razr 40 Ultra

By

Sern Wen

Jul 14, 2023

Today we’re going to talk about my experience with the Motorola Razr 40 Ultra. I know, this video is coming a little late. We actually got this phone quite a while ago, and I’ve been using it for a while now. This video is not only to talk to you guys about my experience with it, but it’s also to set the stage for the next video.

The Razr 40 Standard Edition is the cheapest foldable phone so far, but it has rarely been reviewed. Next video, the Standard Edition will be the protagonist, this time let’s start with a quick check of the Ultra version.

Pros

When it comes to the Razr 40 Ultra, the largest external display has to be its biggest advantage. While Moto has designed a lot of mini-games for it, and also almost all apps can be displayed on this screen. The place where it helps me the most is when replying to messages, when I get a message and I want to reply to it, the screen is big enough for a full-size keyboard so I didn’t hit the wrong key while typing.

I also want to thank Motorola for not removing the wireless charging, this kind of foldable phone has a shorter battery life, so wireless charging is a very important and convenient way of charging. Although it also has some limitations, it is better than nothing.

Camera

Because of the limited size, the performance of the two cameras is not quite good, it’s just a little better than a normal $300 cell phone. It’s fine for capturing life, but it’s a bit of a pain in the butt when it comes to long-distance shooting.

Zooming in at less than 3x is acceptable, but at more than 3x it won’t be able to provide you with clear photos.

Since the Razr 40 Ultra can be half-folded, you can use it like MiniDV Camcorders. I kinda like recording videos in this way.

Cons

Although Motorola has made many foldable phones like this, there are still some issues that need to be fixed. For example, the SIM slot only supports one SIM card. I don’t know if it’s easy to get an eSIM in your area, but it’s a hassle for me here anyway. So I would prefer it to have two SIM cards instead of an eSIM.

Gaming has always been a nightmare for such small foldable phones, and the Razr 40 Ultra doesn’t really perform well either. Even though it has a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor, it only managed to stay around 30fps most of the time in Genshin Impact. The temperature isn’t that low, and the gaming experience is kind of bad.

For wireless charging, you have to have one of those flat charging pad. Otherwise, you might not be able to charge it with any random dock you have, whether folded or not.

I can actually live with these things I just mentioned. After all, many foldable phones have similar issues, we can’t blame Moto alone. But the system issues are unique to the Razr 40. My biggest complaint is about the keyboard. Moto does not allow swiping from the side to go back in the keyboard area, which made me very uncomfortable when I first switched to this phone.

Another example is: I can understand why I need to tap to see new messages, because of the need for privacy. But I can’t understand why you still need to tap the battery icon to check the battery level, it doesn’t make any sense! iPhone users should know how annoying this is, and I think Motorola should solve this problem.

Conclusion

To be honest, I’m not a fan of foldable phones. For the few weeks with the Razr 40 Ultra, I used it as a regular phone. The only time I closed it was when I want to put it in my pocket. Because no matter how big the external screen gets, it’s still too small for me. Plus it’s not really cheap, I actually feel struggled to recommend foldable phones to most people. it’s not worth it for you to spend more money just to fold your phone up.

But if you don’t have to spend more money, and it’s about the same price as a regular phone, then I think it’s still acceptable. So this is why we are more interested in the Moto Razr 40 Standard Edition. Remember to subscribe to our channel, the review of Razr 40 Standard Edition will be ready soon.

Adding to the speculation, a new report from GoAndroid reveals that the battery of Samsung’s XR headset has received various certifications, indicating a potential launch later this month.

Samsung XR headset’s battery receives multiple certifications

Samsung XR headset battery 1 — EB-BI610ABY battery bags SafetyKorea certification

The publication has spotted a battery having the EB-BI610ABY model number in the database of the SafetyKorea certification platform. This battery seems to be a successor to the older EB-BI120ABY battery, which was speculated to power unannounced Samsung AR Glasses with mode number SM-I120. Therefore, it is likely that the EB-BI610ABY battery will be used to power Samsung’s upcoming XR headset.

Samsung XR battery BIS — EB-BI610ABY battery BIS certified

The EB-BI610ABY battery has also received approval from India’s BIS and China’s CQC certification platforms. This suggests that the XR headset may be launched not only in South Korea but also in India and China.

A report that surfaced earlier this week claimed that Samsung had postponed the launch of its first XR headset by approximately three to six months. Thus, there is a possibility that the company will confirm its existence at the upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event and subsequently launch it a few months later.

Samsung’s XR headset is expected to compete with Apple’s Vision Pro, a mixed reality (MR) headset, although specific technical specifications have not yet been revealed. Reports have mentioned collaborations between the South Korean company and Qualcomm and Google for the development of this product.

Vivo’s highly anticipated Vivo X100 series, focused on photography, is set to make its debut as early as November this year. The series is rumored to consist of three models: the Vivo X100, X100 Pro, and X100 Pro+. Among them, the X100 Pro+ is expected to feature a groundbreaking 200-megapixel periscope telephoto camera, which has attracted significant attention. New information regarding this camera has recently emerged on Weibo, indicating that it will be a custom-made sensor.

Vivo X100 Pro+ 200MP periscope camera details

In a recent Weibo post, reputable tipster Digital Chat Station stated that the 200-megapixel periscope camera on the Vivo X100 Pro+ has undergone meticulous customization, surpassing the optical performance of renowned Sony sensors like the IMX890 and IMX866 models. Another source suggested that the camera sensor is tentatively named the Samsung HPV, resulting from a collaboration between Vivo and Samsung.

This lightweight camera sensor, believed to be based on the Samsung HP3, is expected to boast a generous 1/1.4-inch size and provide native 3x or 5x optical zoom capabilities. Both tipsters have claimed that advanced AI algorithms will enable users to enjoy an impressive 10x optical zoom experience.

Reports have claimed that the Vivo X100 and X100 Pro will both come equipped with the upcoming Dimensity 9300 chipset, which is yet to debut. The new flagship Dimensity chip may debut in October or November this year.

The Vivo X100 Pro+ is expected to feature the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. Last year, the X90 Pro+ debuted alongside the X90 and X90 Pro. However, one of the recent reports claimed that the X100 Pro+ may debut in the first quarter of 2024. Vivo did not release the X90 Pro+ in markets outside of China. Hence, it is unclear whether the X100 Pro+ will debut globally.

According to DCS’ Weibo post, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset will power the Redmi K70 Pro. This is in line with previous leaks that have claimed that the Redmi K70 and K70 Pro will feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipsets, respectively.

The tipster further said that the device will be equipped with a 5,120mAh battery that supports 120W fast charging. He also added that the entire series will have a 2K resolution display.

Apart from the K70 and K70 Pro, the lineup also includes the Redmi K70e as a successor to last year’s Redmi K60e, which came with the Dimensity 8200 chip.
