The Realme GT Neo 5 SE is set to launch in China on April 4. The event will begin at 2 PM GMT+8 and will be live-streamed on Weibo and other Chinese video platforms.
Thanks to official teasers and multiple teasers, we know a lot about this handset. Most importantly, it will be the second phone with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Plus Gen 2 chipset. Further, it will not only support 100W wired charging but also house a large 5,500mAh battery.

Tesla has launched its limited edition Cybertruck-inspired beer in the European market.

The company said that Tesla GigaBier is designed to emulate the form of Cybertruck while honoring the 500-year tradition of German Reinheitsgebot beermaking. Soon after announcing the launch of their new product at Giga Fest, Tesla trademarked both “Giga Beer” and “Giga Bier.” As of now, the product is only available for purchase in Europe, where it is produced in Germany and sold as a three-pack for €89 ($97.06). Each can of Tesla’s GigaBier has a 5 percent ABV and contains approximately 330ml, which is just over 11 oz. Tesla has filed for registration of the product through the US Patent Office, but it is not yet available for purchase in the US.

The beer is the second alcoholic beverage sold by Tesla. In 2020, Tesla launched its limited edition Tesla Tequila or ‘Teslaquila’ which was an exclusive, small-batch premium 100% de agave tequila añejo made from sustainably sourced highland and lowland agaves which were sold out in record time. Bottles that had been previously owned were sold on various online marketplaces, such as eBay, for a price exceeding $1,000.
Tesla is not only known for its Electric Vehicles but also for a variety of eccentric limited-edition products that usually sell out within minutes of their launch. For instance, in 2018 Tesla launched a limited edition surfboard made of carbon fiber and designed by the Tesla Design Studio.
The company has also launched other cool products and gadgets like a limited edition portable battery charger that resembles a miniature version of Tesla’s Supercharger, a Tesla Jacket which was a limited edition bomber jacket that featured a red Tesla logo on the chest, Tesla Radio Flyer which was a super cool limited edition electric Model S for kids designed in collaboration with Radio Flyer, Tesla Watch, Tesla Flamethrower, Tesla Bottle Opener, Cyber whistle and more.
These limited edition or unusual products are now a part of Tesla’s brand identity and creativity which is beyond their main business of producing electric vehicles and energy solutions.

Overall, Huawei’s possible technology has great potential to improve the driving experience of drivers and passengers alike.
Oppo recently launched a new flagship tablet in China called the Oppo Pad 2. It comes with an impressive display, a powerful processor, and a premium metal body. Although the tablet is currently only available in China, it appears that the global launch might not be that far.
According to a new report by TheTechOutlook, the global variant of the Oppo Pad 2 has been spotted on the SIRIM database with model number OPD2202. Not many details about the specifications of the OPPO Pad 2 have been disclosed in the database. However, it is rumored that the global variant will carry the same specifications as the Chinese model. Let’s take a look at the spec sheet.
Oppo Pad 2 specs
The OPPO Pad 2 is a sleek and stylish tablet that delivers an exceptional viewing experience. Its 11.61-inch IPS LCD display features a 7:5 aspect ratio, Dolby Vision support, and a peak brightness of 500 nits. With a resolution of 2800 x 2000 pixels and 144Hz refresh rate, you can immerse yourself in stunning visuals with 10-bit colors. The tablet also boasts an impressive 88% screen-to-body ratio, making it a joy to use.
Crafted from premium aluminum, the OPPO Pad 2 exudes sophistication and class. Its rear-cantered 13-megapixel camera allows you to shoot 4K videos at 30fps, while the 8-megapixel front camera captures 1080p videos at 30fps. The tablet is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 chipset, offering up to 12GB of LPDDR5 and up to 512GB of UFS 3.1 storage.

GPU enthusiasts have been eagerly waiting for NVIDIA to drop the RTX 4070 GFX cards, and as per the latest reports, their pricing points have just been unveiled. NVIDIA might finally look to find some common ground with its customers, since the RTX 4070 will reportedly be priced at $599, as compared to its big brother, the RTX 4070Ti, which is priced at $799.
At $599, the RTX 4070 is definitely more wallet-friendly than the RTX 4070 Ti, which had an initial price tag of $899. The Ti model was originally called RTX 4080 12GB, but after some backlash from the gaming community, NVIDIA decided to pull the card from the market. It was later rebranded and released for $799 a few weeks later.
The GeForce RTX 4070 is expected to have the same 192-bit 12GB GDDR6X memory subsystem as the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti, but with fewer active CUDA cores. It is unclear how well the GeForce RTX 4070 will perform as a graphics card, but it is definitely good to hear that its price point is lower than the 4070 Ti.
Interestingly, the RTX 4070 pricing seems to be on par with that of the RTX 3070 Ti, which has remained fairly consistent even after 1.5 years since its launch in June 2021. At $599, the Graphics Card would be a great option for those who are looking to upgrade to a high-performance card to support AAA titles, even for the next couple of years or more. Making PCs future-proof is a thing of the past. Even the most high-end computers of today may struggle to run the latest software and games in the future. Additionally, emerging technologies such as virtual reality, artificial intelligence, and machine learning require significant processing power and specialized hardware that may not be available in current PCs. Furthermore, as new technologies continue to emerge, it is likely that they will require even more powerful hardware, rendering current systems obsolete. With the stabilizing prices of GPUs, one can at least be reassured that it won’t break the bank while spending on a new GPU upgrade in the future.

On March 28, Redmi unveiled the much-anticipated Redmi Note 12 Turbo in China. Today, the smartphone was officially released for sale at 10:00 (local time) this morning in the home market. One of the major highlights of the smartphone is that it is the world’s first phone to feature the Snapdragon 7 Plus Gen 2 chipset. Redmi released the first sales report shortly after opening sales of the Note 12 Turbo today. The report stated that it has become the best-selling model in the 2,000–3,000 Yuan price segment of the three major e-commerce platforms in the country.
Within five minutes of becoming available for purchase, the Redmi Note 12 Turbo broke the 2019 full-day sales record and became one of the most popular models of the year. The Note 12 Turbo got off to a fast start because of its low price and well-balanced design.
The Redmi Note 12 Turbo comes in multiple variants, such as 8GB RAM + 256GB storage for 1,999 Yuan (~$290), 12GB RAM + 256GB storage for 2,199 Yuan (~$320), 12 GB RAM + 512 GB storage for 2,399 Yuan (~$350), and 16 GB RAM + 1 TB storage for 2,799 Yuan (~$405).
The Redmi Note 12 Turbo also boasts a 6.67-inch OLED straight screen with a resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels and supports a 120Hz refresh rate. It comes equipped with an under-display fingerprint scanner. The device runs on MIUI 14-based Android 13.

The Note 12 Turbo is expected to debut as the Poco F5 in markets outside of China.
E3, or the Electronic Entertainment Expo, is an annual trade event for the video game industry. It is typically held in Los Angeles, California and is known for showcasing the latest and greatest in gaming hardware, software, and accessories. The event features press conferences, product announcements, hands-on demos, and networking opportunities for industry professionals, journalists, and enthusiasts. E3 has been a major event in the gaming industry since its inception in 1995 and continues to be a highly anticipated event each year. Where the event was home to one of the biggest title launches in the past, it has been cancelled for 2023 – a move that gaming enthusiasts saw coming but it’s still quite unfortunate.
The cancellation of E3 seemed imminent when last week, Ubisoft dropped out of the expo as well. This move came after video game giants such as Microsoft and Nintendo withdrew from the event as well. Most of these companies are planning to host their own launch events around the same date. In fact, Ubisoft’s very own launch event, Ubisoft Forward Live, is scheduled for the 12th of June this year, which clashes with E3’s date (if the event was still being held).
The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on game launch events (E3 being one of them). In 2020, E3 was cancelled altogether due to concerns over the spread of the virus. Instead, many game companies opted to hold digital events to announce and showcase their upcoming products. This trend continued in 2021, with E3 transitioning to an online-only format. While digital events allowed for wider accessibility and reach, they lacked the in-person interactions, excitement and experiences that were traditionally associated with gaming events. As a result, some companies chose to host their own independent events or participate in smaller, localized expos. It is quite clear that the pandemic forced the gaming industry to adapt and experiment with new ways of presenting and promoting their products, and it remains to be seen how this will continue to shape the future of game launch events.
Lenovo has announced the launch of new upgrades to its popular Yoga series of laptops.

Reports suggest that iQOO may launch the iQOO Z7x 5G in India by mid-April, with leaks and certifications indicating that it will be identical to the Chinese version released earlier this year. The purported Indian variant of the iQOO Z7x 5G has now surfaced on Geekbench, providing further evidence of its imminent release.
According to the Geekbench listing screenshot, the iQOO Z7x 5G smartphone (Vivo I2216 model number) has achieved a single-core test score of 905 and a multi-core test score of 2,137. This model number belongs to the Indian version of the device, indicating that iQOO may soon release it in the country.
The iQOO Z7x 5G is expected to come with the latest FunTouchOS 13 skin based on Android 13. It will be powered by an octa-core Snapdragon 695 processor, and will most likely have 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, although there may be other memory options available. Let’s take a look at what else the device is expected to bring to the table.
iQOO Z7x 5G specs (China variant)
The iQOO Z7x 5G smartphone boasts a 6.64-inch IPS LCD display with a centrally placed punch-hole, supporting an FHD+ resolution, 19:9 aspect ratio, and an impressive 120Hz refresh rate. The device is powered by the Snapdragon 695 chipset, LPDDR4x RAM, and UFS 2.2 storage, and is available in three configurations in China.
For photography enthusiasts, the Z7x offers a 16-megapixel front-facing camera and a dual-camera setup on the back featuring a 64-megapixel main and a 2-megapixel depth sensor. The device runs on the latest Android 13 OS and features a side-mounted fingerprint scanner for easy and secure access. A 5,000mAh battery provides ample power, and while the Chinese variant supports 80W fast charging, it remains to be seen if the global variant will have the same charging capability.
Google Fi is a wireless service provider owned by Google that uses a combination of Wi-Fi hotspots, cellular networks, and data-only SIM cards to provide wireless service to customers. It offers a range of plans, including pay-as-you-go, a flat-rate unlimited data plan, and a flexible plan that charges customers only for the data they use. Google Fi uses multiple cellular networks and switches between them depending on which network offers the strongest signal in a given area. It also offers international roaming at no extra cost and is compatible with a range of devices.
Finally, Google Fi has extended its 5G network support to Apple iPhone smartphones via the latest iOS 16.4 official version software update. Previously, Google Fi users on iPhones could only use T-Mobile’s 4G network. The expansion of the 5G network to iPhones is part of Google Fi’s strategy to broaden its service offering to more devices. Initially only available on Google Pixel phones, the service has since been extended to a wide range of Android devices, and most recently, iPhones using 4G (with 5G Support)
Users will need an iPhone 12 or later model and must enable the “5G Auto” switch option under “Cellular Data Options” in the “Settings” menu to connect to a 5G network. Google Fi has been slow to provide iOS users with new features but recently allowed the use of built-in VPN functionality and eSIM. Google Fi offers a different type of plan with simpler pricing and smarter coverage, allowing subscribers to pay only for the data they use or opt for unlimited data. Additionally, users with compatible devices can use the Google Fi eSIM service instead of relying on a physical SIM card.
