iPhone 15 Pro Max leaks suggest the thinnest bezels yet

Rumors surrounding Apple’s upcoming flagship iPhone 15 Pro Max continue to circulate online, with leaks suggesting that the device could feature the thinnest bezels yet seen on an iPhone. According to Ice Universe, a well-known leaker with a proven track record of accurate predictions, the iPhone 15 Pro Max’s bezels are expected to be thinner than those found on the current iPhone 14 Pro Max, as well as Xiaomi 13, which currently holds the record for the thinnest bezels at just 1.81mm.

iPhone 15 Pro Max to Feature Curved Bezels for Apple Watch Look

iPhone-15-render

Ice Universe has posted an image of an iPhone 15 Pro Max screen protector, alongside a render of what the device would look like, both of which suggest that the phone will have beautiful, thin bezels. The new device will feature curved bezels for an Apple Watch-like look, a claim that was previously made by reliable leaker ShrimpApplePro.

While thin bezels alone may not make a phone a top flagship, the iPhone 15 Pro Max is expected to feature several other improvements over its predecessor. Rumors suggest that the device will feature a larger 48MP main camera, which could outshine even the best Android camera phones on the market. Additionally, the Pro Max is highly likely to include a periscope camera, which would provide users with even more advanced camera capabilities.

The iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max are also rumored to feature a new chipset, with some reports suggesting that the devices could use Apple’s upcoming A17 chip. The phones are also expected to switch from the traditional mute switch to a programmable action button. In terms of design, the Pro models could feature a titanium frame and be slightly less wide and tall than their predecessors, but 5% thicker. However, this reduced thickness could result in a less protrusive camera setup.

Unfortunately, rumors that the phones would feature solid-state volume and power buttons have been dispelled due to higher costs and manufacturing complexity. iPhone 15 series is expected to be announced in September.

Xiaomi Mi 10, Mi 10T series officially confirmed to get 5G SA update in India

Xiaomi recently announced that it will be releasing a software update in the near future, enabling 5G standalone (SA) network access functionality on devices that do not currently support it in India. This update will enable Xiaomi users to experience the full benefits of 5G technology, including faster speeds, reduced latency, and improved connectivity.

Xiaomi India claims that their selection of more than 20 5G smartphones supports the 4G-based 5G non-standalone (NSA) network. While the 5G SA network does not rely on 4G and offers a more pure and effective 5G experience, some of these devices still do not support it.

In order to allow 5G SA, the brand revealed that it has provided an over-the-air (OTA) update for the Mi 11X, Mi 11 Pro, and Mi 11 Lite NE 5G devices. The business added that updates for the Mi 10, Mi 10i, Mi 10T, and Mi 10T Pro would come soon. The company also said that in order to give its clients a smooth 5G experience, it is updating all of its products.

Pixel 7a European Price and Pre-Order Bonus Revealed Ahead of Google I/O 2023


Google I/O 2023 is shaping up to be an exciting event with the introduction of several new devices from the tech giant. Among the devices set to launch is the highly anticipated Pixel 7a, which is expected to address some of the shortcomings of its predecessor, the Pixel 6a. It’s safe to say that the hype surrounding the Pixel 7a is real and fans are eagerly awaiting its release. Additionally, the event may also see the launch of the elusive Pixel Tablet and Pixel Fold.

Google Pixel 7a Eurozone price & offers

Recent leaks suggest that the Pixel 7a will be priced at €509 in the Eurozone. This is €50 more than the current price of the Pixel 6a. However, to sweeten the deal, Google is reportedly offering a pre-order bonus worth €99. French retailer Fnac has revealed that Pixel 7a pre-orders will come with a complimentary pair of Pixel Buds A-Series earbuds. It’s unclear if this is a Google France-specific deal, but it’s likely that similar offers will be available in other markets.

Google

The pre-order period for the Pixel 7a is expected to run from May 10 to May 22, coinciding with Google’s I/O 2023 keynote. However, it’s likely that pre-order shipments won’t begin until at least the fourth week of May. The Pixel 7a has already been the subject of a teardown by PBKreviews, and someone else has shared a detailed hands-on preview of the device.

If you’re looking to get your hands on the Pixel 7a in Europe, it seems like the pre-order period will be the best time to do so. With the added bonus of a pair of Pixel Buds A-Series earbuds, the €509 price tag may be more palatable for those on a budget. It remains to be seen if Google will offer similar pre-order bonuses in other markets, but it’s certainly a possibility.

Realme 11 Pro+ teaser confirms 5,000mAh battery pack & 100W fast charging

The Realme 11 series launch is just around the corner. But ahead of the announcement, there have already been a number of rumors and reports regarding the upcoming smartphones. Now, the latest info arrives from official teasers, which have revealed some key specs of the Realme 11 Pro+. So let’s have a look.

Realme 11 Pro+ to feature 5,000mAh battery with impressive 100W fast charging

The Chinese smartphone maker is set to launch the new smartphones in China on Wednesday (10th May 2023). The Realme 11 Pro+ is the top end model and the latest teaser has confirmed previous rumors regarding its battery capacity. In other words, it will be powered by a large 5,000mAh battery pack, which is the same capacity rating as its predecessor, the Realme 10 Pro+. This battery will even support an impressive 100W fast charging, which is noticeably higher than the 67W fast charging on the 10 series model.

Realme

Apart from this, the only other information revealed on the teaser poster image was that the handset weighs just 183 grams. The Realme 10 Pro+ model could charge from 0 to 17 percent in 17 minutes from its 67W fast charging technology, so we can expect the time to fall even lower on its successor. Talking about its other features, it sports a tall 6.7 inch AMOLED display that supports 120Hz refresh rate.

Under the hood, the 11 Pro+ model will be equipped with the MediaTek Dimensity 7050 SoC that is paired with up to 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. The rear features a 200 megapixel triple camera setup, while the front houses a 16 megapixel selfie shooter.

BYD Accelerates Expansion in Southeast Asia with New Investment Plans

Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer BYD is stepping up its overseas supply chain strategy, with a particular focus on Southeast Asia. The company recently met with Vietnam’s Deputy Prime Minister, Chen Honghe, to discuss expanding its manufacturing and investment in Phu Tho Province, Vietnam.

BYD is looking to Expand its Manufacturing into Southeast Asia

During the meeting, BYD Chairman Wang Chuanfu outlined the company’s plans to expand its electric vehicle manufacturing and assembly operations into Southeast Asia. He expressed hope that the local government would help facilitate the necessary investment permits and put the project into operation as soon as possible.

BYD

This move comes on the back of reports earlier this year that BYD was planning to invest over $250 million in Vietnam to build a new energy vehicle parts factory. In addition, the Philippines, Vietnam and Indonesia are reportedly competing to attract BYD to build an electric vehicle assembly plant in their respective countries.

BYD is one of the world’s leading electric vehicle manufacturers, with a presence in over 300 cities globally. The company has long been committed to advancing sustainable transportation and has invested heavily in research and development to improve the performance and efficiency of its vehicles.

In recent years, BYD has been expanding its presence in overseas markets, including Europe and the United States, and has partnerships with major automakers like Toyota and Daimler. The company’s focus on Southeast Asia reflects the region’s growing demand for electric vehicles, driven by a combination of government incentives, rising oil prices, and a growing awareness of the environmental benefits of EVs.

As BYD continues to expand its global reach, its commitment to sustainable development and cutting-edge technology will play a crucial role in driving the transition to a more sustainable transportation system. The company’s upcoming SUV, YangWang U8 was recently spotted out in the wild. With Southeast Asia poised for rapid growth in the EV market, BYD’s investments in the region could help accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles and contribute to a cleaner, more sustainable future for all.

Twitter Circle Tweets were Shown Publicly to Users Outside the Circle

Twitter, the social media giant, recently disclosed a security incident that caused private tweets sent to Twitter Circles to be shown publicly to users outside of the Circle. This incident took place in April 2023, and the company has since conducted a thorough investigation to understand how it occurred and has addressed the issue. Twitter also apologized to impacted users and expressed its commitment to protecting their privacy.

Twitter Circle was Introduced back in August 2022

Twitter Circle, a feature introduced in August 2022, allows users to send tweets to a small group of people while promising to keep them private from the public. Users select who is in their Twitter Circle, and only the people added to the Circle can reply to and interact with the tweets shared within it.

Twitter

However, in early April, Twitter users started warning that tweets sent to Twitter Circles were being displayed publicly to people outside of the Circle in their timelines. Twitter has now confirmed that this was caused by a security incident that allowed users outside of the Circle to see tweets that should have been limited to the Circle to which the post was made.

Twitter did not disclose the cause of the security incident, but many changes have taken place on the platform since Elon Musk took ownership. These changes revolved around increasing the exposure of tweets via Twitter’s recommendation algorithm, which Musk said in late March would be updated every 28 to 48 hours.

Twitter’s swift action to investigate and fix the issue shows its commitment to protecting its users’ privacy. However, this incident highlights the risks that social media platforms pose in terms of privacy breaches. Users must be cautious when sharing sensitive information on social media and always be aware of the platform’s privacy settings.

Twitter’s security incident involving Twitter Circle tweets is a reminder of the importance of cybersecurity on social media platforms. Users must take precautions to protect their privacy online and be aware of the risks that come with sharing personal information on these platforms. Twitter’s commitment to protecting user privacy is appreciated, but more must be done to ensure that incidents like this do not happen in the future. Recently, the company announced that it will let government services use its API for free as well.

Google May Design its Future Tensor Chips In-house, Starting with Pixel 9

Google’s Pixel smartphones have been gaining popularity over the years, thanks to their high-quality camera and seamless integration with Google’s software services. However, one of the key factors that differentiate Pixel phones from the rest of the Android market is the custom-built Tensor chip that powers the devices.

Google has previously relied on Samsung for its chips’ manufacturing

According to recent reports from Sammobile, Google has relied on Samsung to design and manufacture the Tensor chip for the past two generations of products. However, there are rumors that Google may be looking to change things up with the upcoming Tensor G3, G4, and G5 chips.

Tensor

The Tensor G3 chip is expected to be co-designed with Samsung’s System LSI arm and manufactured using Samsung’s 4nm process. The chip will reportedly adopt a “1+4+4” nine-core design, consisting of one 3.30GHz Cortex-X3 core, four Cortex-A715 cores at 2.60GHz, and four 2.20GHz-2.30GHz Cortex-A510 cores.

For the Tensor G4, Google is said to be considering designing its chips completely in-house and manufacturing them using TSMC‘s 4nm process. However, the cost of this process may be too high for the Pixel, and Google may have to turn to Samsung’s foundry instead. It’s currently unclear what process the Tensor G4 will use.

Finally, for the Tensor G5, Google is rumored to be using TSMC’s 3nm process for manufacturing. This process promises even greater power efficiency and performance improvements compared to the 4nm process used for the Tensor G4.

These developments could have significant implications for the Pixel line of smartphones. In-house chip design and manufacturing could give Google more control over the performance and efficiency of its devices, potentially leading to even better user experiences.
However, switching to new chip designs and manufacturing processes also comes with risks and challenges. It remains to be seen how Google will handle these challenges and whether the upcoming Tensor chips will live up to expectations. Regardless, the technology industry is eagerly anticipating the release of the Pixel 6 and the Tensor G3, which could give us a glimpse of what’s to come in the world of smartphone technology. For now, fans have been anticipating the release of the Pixel Fold and the Pixel 7a, launches for which are right around the corner.

Nokia C300 and C110 Coming to the US at Affordable Prices

Nokia has been known for its sturdy and reliable mobile phones for decades, and now the company is taking a leap forward with its new smartphone releases – the Nokia C300 and C110. These two devices are set to be launched soon in the US, and the official specifications have been revealed. Let’s take a closer look at what these smartphones have to offer.

Both Nokia C300 and C110 are IP52 Water & Dust Resistant

The Nokia C300 is the more advanced of the two models. It comes with 5G capabilities, which means faster internet speeds and smoother connectivity. The phone is also IP52 water and dust resistant, which is a bonus for those who are always on the go. The device has a 4000 mAh battery, which should give you enough power to last throughout the day. However, it does come with Android 12, which might be a deal-breaker for some who prefer a newer Android version.

Nokia C300

In terms of the camera, the Nokia C300 has an 8 MP front-facing camera, which should be decent enough for selfies. On the back, the camera module has a 13 MP main sensor, 2 MP macro sensor, and a 2 MP depth sensor. This setup should give you enough versatility to take mid-high-quality photos and videos. The internal storage is only 32 GB, but it can be expanded with a microSD card.

On the other hand, the Nokia C110 is a more budget-friendly option. It also has 5G capabilities, which is impressive for its price point. The device is also IP52 water and dust resistant, just like the Nokia C300. The C110 has a smaller 3000 mAh battery, but it should still be enough to last a full day with moderate use. The camera setup is more basic, with a single 13 MP main camera and a 5 MP front-facing camera. The device also has 32 GB of internal storage with expandable storage.

The Nokia C300 and C110 offer impressive features at their respective price points. If you’re looking for a more advanced device with better camera capabilities and a larger battery, the Nokia C300 might be the better choice. However, if you’re on a budget and still want 5G capabilities, the Nokia C110 is definitely worth considering. Recently, leaks also showcased the renders of the upcoming Nokia XR30. Either way, Nokia’s latest smartphones are expected to provide reliable performance and the durability the brand is known for.

Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 5 has been the subject of much anticipation and speculation, with leaks and rumors about its design and features continuing to surface. Recently, a seemingly official clear protective case for the phone was leaked in photos, providing more insights into its design elements such as the enlarged cover display with a folder design and a side-mounted fingerprint scanner.

Leaked Galaxy Z Flip 5 protective case renders offer a glimpse of potential color options

Now, fan-made renders of the Galaxy Z Flip 5’s protective case in a range of solid colors have surfaced, offering a glimpse of what the phone might look like when wrapped up in a colored case. While these renders don’t reveal any new information about the upcoming phone, they do suggest that Samsung may offer a range of color options for its protective cases.

Rumors about the Galaxy Z Flip 5’s design continue to circulate, with some suggesting that half the phone will be black and that the cover display will blend in with this panel when turned off. Others have speculated that the cover screen and surrounding frame may have a colored tint matching the phone, similar to the original fold’s cover display.

Samsung is expected to offer a Bespoke Edition of the Galaxy Z Flip 5 in select markets, which will allow customers to personalize the phone’s color and finish. With these fan-made renders suggesting a range of colorful protective case options, Samsung may also offer a variety of case colors to complement the phone’s design.

Nothing Phone (2) Specifications Leak alongside a Design Render

Nothing is ready to launch its second smartphone— Phone (2). The company has confirmed the handset will debut this summer but hasn’t specified a date yet. The Nothing Phone (1) successor is expected to be a premium offering with a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC and several other upgrades on board. While we wait for the Phone (2) to debut, its alleged specifications have surfaced online, alongside a render that shows a familiar design.

Nothing Phone (2) isn’t your average Mid-ranger

The Carl Pei-led startup has launched some interesting products so far, and all of them have one thing in common (you guessed it right)— a semi-transparent design. And from what we have seen in a recent teaser video, the Nothing Phone (2) will follow suit. A design render, shared by Ben Geskin, reveals that the handset will have a design similar to the Phone (1), with textured areas and LED light lines. It goes without saying that the phone will have a glass back, and its frames could be made of aluminum, similar to the original model.

Nothing Phone 2

The leaked specifications making rounds on the internet suggest that the Phone (2) will feature a 6.55-inch AMOLED panel with FHD+ resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, and an in-display fingerprint sensor. It will apparently get a 50MP primary camera with OIS and two other sensors. The Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor on the handset is said to be paired with 8GB or 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 128GB or 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage. The smartphone is also tipped to pack a 5,000mAh battery with fast wired and wireless charging support. Stereo speakers and NFC have been mentioned as well.

The leak also mentions satellite connectivity but we won’t be very certain about that. It’s possible Nothing could team up with a satellite communications company like Globalstar to offer the feature in the US but that’s just a far-fetched assumption. It seems unlikely since the investments involved in rolling out this feature would make Nothing’s budget go off the roof.

Nokia launches the Nokia 106 (2023) alongside refreshed versions of the Nokia 105 & 110

Nokia has unveiled the Nokia 106 (2023) rugged feature phone together with new versions of the Nokia 105 and Nokia 110. The Nokia 106 has similar capabilities as the new Nokia 105 4G (2023) that was announced recently but with some upgraded features. The Nokia 106 features a music player and the Snake game which are missing on the 105 4G (2023). Nokia has previously held sway in the feature phones segment, with a long list of durable offerings.

Nokia 106

Feature phones ruled the market in the earliest days of mobile phones and Nokia was a big player at that time. With the advent of smartphones, feature phones have been relegated to the background. They are however still meeting the demands of a huge demographic of the global market. Their ruggedness and affordability, coupled with their extended battery lives, have continued to draw fans to these phones. A feature phone is also a useful backup device when hiking or camping.

Nokia 105

Features in the Nokia 105 include wireless FM radio, a flashlight, and the traditional call menu. The Nokia 106 has an MP3 player, a Snake game, and a flashlight. It offers up to 22 days of standby and 12 hours of calls. Users will need to have an SD card installed on the Nokia 106 in order to listen to music. The Nokia 106 comes in three colors namely red, cyan, and black.

Nokia 110

The three new Nokia feature phones have 2G network capability, although the Nokia 110 has a 4G variant which was previously released. Apart from the network capability differences, the new 2G-enabled Nokia 110 has similar features to its predecessor.

Nokia is yet to provide full pricing information for the three new feature phones. It is however expected that they will be quite affordable. Nokia also plans to release 4G versions of the Nokia 105 and 106. The Nokia 110 4G Pro could also be close to its unveiling.
