A new leak has revealed the possible launch timeline of the 2023 Call of Duty title. There were some rumors that hinted at its Beta phase and other important timeline, and now, it appears that the game will be announced in the second half of this year.
Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 might drop in August
According to Insider Gaming’s Tom Henderson, sources have revealed that the 2023 COD title will be announcement sometime around the start of August. Unfortunately, there were no finer details revealed regarding this upcoming game. Although, considering how Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War and Vanguard were revealed within the original COD Warzone. In other words, we can expect to see a similar announcement for Call of Duty 2023 in Warzone 2, which just recently had a collaboration with NBA Star Kevin Durant.
There might even be a dedicated event like the COD NEXT, which is how Modern Warfare 2 was unveiled. As of right now, it is believed that the new game will be launched around August 1. The name of this yet to be announced COD game is also unknown. But if the August 2023 launch timeline is true, then it seems that the Call of Duty 2023 will likely not be unveiled during the PlayStation Showcase event later this month.
Rumors have suggested that the latest COD game could simply be the successor to the COD Modern Warfare 2 and will likely be dubbed as Modern Warfare 3. This title will reportedly be developed by Sledgehammer Games, as per Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier. These earlier reports have suggested that the first beta weekend will begin on October 6 for the PlayStation consoles, with the full release for Xbox, PlayStation, and PC is reportedly set for 10th November 2023.

Moto Razr 40 clamshell folding design revealed in leaked renders
The company has teased the launch of the Razr 40 series but an official release date is still unclear. These leaked renders were shared by MySmartPrice and showcase the entire design of the Razr 40 model, which is one of the two models planned for the series (the other model being the Razr 40 Ultra).

So stick around for more as we will be providing updates when additional information is available regarding this matter.
Realme held an event in China today, during which it unveiled its latest smartphones, the Realme 11 series, as well as the Realme Buds Air 5 Pro. The latest TWS from the brand is the successor of the existing Realme Buds Air 3. The newly announced audio accessory offers a pretty impressive set of specifications at a very reasonable price. Let’s have a complete overview of the product.
The Realme Buds Air 5 Pro offer 11 mm dynamic audio drivers and 6 mm secondary drivers. These buds have Hi-Res small gold label certification. They also carry support for LDAC codec and spatial sound effects, which ensures an immersive audio experience. They also offer support for active noise cancellation of up to 50dbs.
The Realme Buds Air 5 Pro support 4000Hz ultra-wideband noise reduction and is equipped with six built-in microphones that enable AI deep call noise reduction features. In terms of battery life, the main case has a 460mAh battery, while each earbud is equipped with a 60mAh battery. The brand claims that the device can provide up to 40 hours of usage time on a full charge.
In terms of form factor, the device appears similar to its predecessor. The earbuds retain their stem-like design and feature a cylindrical main counterpart with a microphone cutout and silicone ear tips. Additionally, the charging case maintains its previous pebble-shaped design, along with the LED indicator. However, the design of the actual buds has undergone some minor changes.
The TWS earbuds also feature a dedicated gaming mode, which lowers latency to 40ms, resulting in a better overall gaming experience. The earbuds also have an IPX5 water resistance rating, which means they can withstand splashes of water and sweat. Additionally, they support the latest Bluetooth 5.3 technology, and users can further customize the audio preferences and features of the earbuds using the “Realme Link” app.
The Realme Buds Air 5 Pro are priced at CNY 399, which roughly converts to $57. The earbuds will be officially available for sale in the country from May 31 and pre-orders begin on May 23.
The next smartphone from Xiaomi is expected to be Civi 3. This handset is tipped to launch by the end of May. Further, the company is also anticipated to release Mix 5, Redmi K60 Ultra, and Mix Fold 3 in the coming months.
Amidst this, a mysterious Xiaomi phone gets certified by 3C. The listing only reveals the model number and hints at the charging speed.
This upcoming Xiaomi smartphone bears model number 23054RA19C. This is the first time we are hearing about this device.
The 3C regulatory authority says that the handset will ship with a 67W charger bearing model numbers either MDY-14-EV or MDY15-EQ. Thus, it may have support for 67W wired charging or less.
Unfortunately, that’s all the information we have on this unknown product. It is definitely not the forthcoming Civi 3 and Redmi K60 Ultra since these phones sport model numbers 23046PNC9C and 23078PND5C, respectively.
So could it be Mix 5? We don’t think so as the Mix 4 itself had 120W charging support. Why would the successor be limited to 67W charging?
Whatever it is, we are looking forward to learning more about this product in the coming days. Because it has been also listed on MIIT, and so, it should pop up on other certification websites, and benchmarking platforms revealing more details about it.
What are your thoughts on this mysterious Xiaomi smartphone? Will it be released under Xiaomi or Redmi brand? Most importantly, will it make its way to global markets? Do let us know in the comment section below.

It’s important to note that the specifications listed for the Vivo Y78m are identical to those of the recently launched Vivo Y78. It remains to be seen if there are any features that set the Y78m apart from its counterpart. Previous reports suggested that the two devices might be rebranded versions of each other for different markets. However, since both devices will be available in China, it’s possible that there may be some differences between them.
Apple recently announced the introduction of two of its flagship software applications – Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro – to the iPad. The company claims that the new iPad versions of the apps will come with all-new touch interfaces that will allow users to enhance their workflows with Multi-Touch.
