When it comes to mobile devices, Samsung has always been at the forefront of innovation, and its newest product, the Galaxy Z Fold 5, is no exception. For a long time, the brand has dominated the foldable smartphone market. But, the recent release of the Honor Magic Vs fold provided strong competition to Samsung. Nevertheless, the next Galaxy Z Fold5’s exterior display size has been leaked online.
Fans of Samsung who are awaiting the next generation of foldable smartphones may be in for a surprise. According to Ice Universe, a renowned leaker, the Galaxy Z Fold 5 will have the same 6.2-inch external display as the Galaxy Z Fold 4. This information was posted on Twitter by Ice Universe. He did not provide any other details or evidence to back up his assertion, but he has a history of revealing accurate information about Samsung products.
Unfortunately, I can confirm that the Galaxy Z Fold5 external screen is still 6.2 "😕 https://t.co/isu6Ylnhgi
The Galaxy Z Fold 4 was released in August 2021 and garnered excellent feedback from both critics and users. It had a 6.2-inch cover screen and a 7.6-inch main screen, both with OLED displays and 120Hz refresh rates. It also had an under-display camera on the main screen, which added to the immersion and seamlessness of the experience. According to reports, the Galaxy Z Fold 5 will be released in late 2023 or early 2024. The device’s pricing is unknown, although it could be comparable to or somewhat higher than the Galaxy Z Fold 4, which cost $1,799 at launch.
The news of the Galaxy Z Fold 5’s identical outer display size may disappoint some consumers who were looking for a larger or more edge-to-edge cover screen. Others, on the other hand, may applaud Samsung’s attempts to improve the durability and performance of its foldable gadget, which is still a fresh and creative technology.
Samsung isn’t the only business working on foldable phones. In recent years, competitors such as Huawei, Xiaomi, and Motorola have also developed or announced their own versions of foldable devices. Yet, Samsung’s Galaxy Z series continues to be the market leader in this class. It will be interesting to watch how long Samsung remains the market leader. That concludes the topic. Thanks a lot for reading the post till the end.

Meizu hasn’t released any new smartphones recently but that should be changing this month as the brand is gearing up to launch its latest flagship series— Meizu 20. The lineup, which is expected to include the Meizu 20 and 20 Pro, has been in the news for some time now and the brand has also started teasing it. And today, a tipster has shared live images of the Pro model, showcasing its design. Let’s have a look.
Tipster @爱范儿 has shared real-life images of the upcoming Meizu 20 Pro. The handset has apparently been pictured in the hands of a Meizu executive. As can be seen in the images, the smartphone adopts a right-angle frame design with flat sides and display. The rear panel is also flat, featuring 4 rings. Out of the 4, 3 rings house the cameras and the other one features the flash.
According to recent teasers, Meizu 20 Pro is equipped with Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip, paired with LPDDR5X memory and UFS 4.0 storage. The handset features a 2K+ Samsung E6 AMOLED panel with a peak brightness of 1800nits. It also uses a self-developed 1-120 frame LTPO adaptive refresh technology.

The smartphone will also support 80W wired and 50W wireless charging. It is claimed to take only 30 minutes to charge wirelessly to 80%. It is said to be equipped with a 50MP 1/1.56-inch outsole main sensor, which supports a new generation of SMA optical image stabilization and DarkVision 2.0 for night photography. While the launch date of the handset is yet to be known, it is expected to debut later this month.

It comes with upgraded optical quality from previous models and has the National AA standard. The smart interaction of the lamp has also been upgraded from Huawei HiLink to HarmonyOS Connect.
The Dalen Smart Desk Lamp 3i comes with an improved lighting architecture from its previous iterations. The number of lamp beads was increased to 78 with the improved quality of the beads themselves. This has enabled the gadget to have a more uniform illumination to achieve the National AA standard. The lamp can easily illuminate a large desk with near-perfect color rendering. The professionally-adjusted vibrant color temperature is well suited for concentrated reading and writing, even for extended periods.
The smart desk lamp has a three-dimensional light night light design. The sleep time of the gadget can be customized via your mobile phone. The night light is activated separately and it comes with a faint, warm, yellow glow that is soft and not dazzling. This enables your sleep not to be seriously affected even when you wake up in the night.
The Huawei Zhixuan Dalen Smart Desk Lamp 3i has a lifetime of up to 50,000 hours. This is quite impressive, as the gadget can serve you for up to 10 years on an average daily usage of 12 hours. The touch-and-touch function of the lamp enables the user to seamlessly control the gadget. The light source has several modes including reading and writing, screen reading, and sleepless dimming. The Dalen Smart Lamp 3i is also compatible with the Huawei Xiaoyi voice assistant to adjust the lighting.
The Huawei Zhixuan Dalen Smart Desk Lamp 3i is being retailed at a launch price of 119 yuan (~$17). The product will revert to its original price of 129 yuan (~$19) after the launch period.

Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla made a recent announcement regarding the next-generation small EV that the company was working on. Musk said that the next-gen budget car will generally operate in autonomous mode and there was a clear path to make and deliver a car that cost half as much as the Tesla Model 3 Sedan.

Musk did not give any more details fo the vehicle. However, this is not the first time that Musk promised to deliver a budget EV. In 2020, Tesla announced that it was planning to make a small-budget car that would be fully autonomous and cost less than $25,000. The company promised to deliver the car within three years by 2023.
The low-end budget car which is unofficially referred to as Tesla Model 2 will be smaller and cheaper than Tesla Model 3 which at around $42,990 is the cheapest EV offered by the company. Experts speculate that Model 2 will come with a 25% smaller battery and 15% smaller body as compared to Model 3. It will also be 30% lighter than Model 3.
source: Tesla
Since its inception, Tesla customers and fans have lamented about the need for a budget EV from the company. The cheapest vehicle is the Model 3 Sedan which costs around $43,000. While there was a time when you could buy the base variant of Model 3 for $35,000, today the base model is priced at $43,000. However, Tesla claims that the net cost after tax credits and gas savings for the Model 3 base variant in California comes to around $29,000 and the Model 3 base variant is already offered at a competitive price and is cheaper than the famous Toyota Corolla.
The company is planning to launch its budget car for less than $30,000. Tesla has always run its business on the philosophy of making them better and cheaper at the same time. The company is essentially trying to convert a car into a computer and use advanced technology, to not only improve the performance of the vehicle but also make it cost-effective. Though the company has not always achieved this goal, with the Model 2 budget EV it plans to launch a smaller, cheaper, and better car than before.
Foldable smartphones have been making waves in the tech industry over the past few years, with several major brands launching their own models. Recently, OnePlus announced its plan to launch a folding screen device later this year. And today, it has been reported Meizu, a Chinese electronics company, is the latest to join the trend, announcing it wants to release its first foldable smartphone by the end of 2023.
Meizu’s Executive Vice President, Huang Zhipan, has reportedly announced that the company will be releasing its first foldable smartphone by the end of 2023. While no further details about the product have been disclosed, the introduction of a foldable smartphone to Meizu’s product line is expected to offer consumers more diverse options to choose from.
Meizu has primarily focused on producing smartphones and portable accessories in the past, but the brand’s smartphone business has been relatively quiet recently. The company’s last major smartphone release, the Meizu 18, was introduced in 2021. However, Meizu is now preparing to launch a new flagship series, known as the Meizu 20.
Meizu 20 lineup should include two smartphones— Meizu 20 and Meizu 20 Pro. It has been reported that the Pro models will arrive with a 10-bit Samsung E6 LTPO AMOLED display that will offer 1440p resolution and 120hz refresh rate. It could feature a 50MP primary camera with OIS, and be fueled by a 5,000 mAh battery with support for 50W wireless and 80W wired charging.
Additionally, the Meizu 20 Pro has been also spotted on AnTuTu with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, Android 13, 12GB RAM, and 512GB storage. Currently, the launch date of the new series has not been revealed. The lineup could arrive in Spring this year.

You might be aware that Polygraphs are used to detect if someone’s lying, the technology was invented in 1921 and has been the standard for deception detection ever since. However, Xiaomi’s new patent suggests it is planning to develop a more efficient lie detector device that utilizes pupil movements to detect when someone is not telling the truth. Here are the details.
As reported by ITHome, Xiaomi has been granted a patent for their “polygraph method, device, mobile terminal, and storage medium,” which gives the company intellectual property rights to the technology or method. The abstract of the patent describes the method designed for use on a mobile terminal. It involves a telephoto pan-tilt camera, which will be used to capture facial images and track pupil movement during the lie-detection process.
The method involves adjusting the telephoto pan-tilt camera’s shooting angle to focus on the face of the person being tested. The camera captures an image of the person’s face and tracks the movement of their pupils. The device then analyzes the pupil movement trajectory and determines if it meets a specific condition that indicates lying. The patent describes how the device can be integrated into a mobile terminal (such as a smartphone) and enable a simple and effective lie detection function that can improve the user’s experience with the device.
For the unaware, movements of the eyes and dilation of pupils can effectively be used to detect whether someone’s lying. According to a study, when a person lies, their pupils will dilate by 4% to 8% of the initial pupil diameter, and the person will also blink their eyes up to 8 times more than their initial blink rate before being asked the question. These physiological responses are potential indicators of lying.
3D printing technology has come a long way since it was first introduced. What was once used mainly for creating small figures and trinkets has now expanded into much larger applications. In an impressive demonstration of this technology’s capabilities, US-based aerospace start-up Relativity Space is preparing to launch the first-ever 3D-printed rocket into space. Here are the details…
Terran 1 rocket: the largest 3D-printed object to attempt orbital flight
A US aerospace start-up, Relativity Space, is preparing to launch the first-ever 3D-printed rocket into space on March 8. The Terran 1 rocket is set to be the largest 3D-printed object to attempt orbital flight, standing at 35 meters tall and made up of 85% 3D printed material. Compared to the cost of SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket, which can lift over 22,000 kilograms into orbit and costs around $67 million per flight, Relativity Space is charging $12 million per flight.
During the first test flight, the Terran 1 rocket will not carry any payload, and the rocket is designed to lift up to 1250 kilograms into low-Earth orbit. The company has decided to skip one last planned test of the rocket, a static fire, and go straight to launch. Although this decision increases the likelihood of an abort on their first launch attempt, the company believes that if all systems are performing as expected, it is more beneficial to launch during their next operation than to subject the vehicle to additional ground testing.
Relativity Space’s ultimate goal is to facilitate an industrial society on Mars, and while the Terran 1 is too small to make the journey, it is designed to bring small satellites into orbit. The rocket serves as a prototype for the company’s 66-meter-tall Terran R rocket, which is planned to be fully reusable, mostly 3D-printed, and able to carry up to 20,000 kilograms into orbit. In addition to launching larger satellites into orbit around Earth, the Terran R rocket will offer customers a point-to-point space freighter capable of missions between the Earth, Moon, and Mars.
According to the Relativity Space representative, Terran 1 is their development platform to get to Terran R, which they believe is the vehicle customers need to make significant advancements in space travel. The successful launch of the Terran 1 rocket is a crucial step towards Relativity Space’s ambition to facilitate an industrial society on Mars and demonstrates the potential of 3D printing technology to revolutionize space travel and make it more accessible and affordable.
Reddit has announced a major change to its interface by launching a TikTok-style video feed. Along with that, it will be splitting text and video posts into separate feeds, so video content will appear in a “Watch” feed view while text content will be available in a “Read” feed. Here are the details…
Reddit’s new features include a TikTok-style video feed
The move is aimed at creating a feed that is dedicated solely to video content, which will make it easier for Reddit’s 500 million monthly users to engage in the format they’re most interested in and move between formats more seamlessly. Pali Bhat, Reddit’s chief product officer, said in an interview on Decoder that this change will help users engage with the platform more easily.
New Reddit Feed
By creating separate feeds, Reddit is essentially “videofying” the platform, and this feature is a part of a larger effort to simplify the platform and make it more accessible to users. The company has acknowledged that many people find the platform complex and intimidating, with a complicated interface and distinct community norms and practices.
The new features will include a combination of posts from subreddits that users are subscribed to, along with recommendations. The company will test how users respond to the split views over the next few weeks. Reddit has also indicated that it may experiment with features like video reactions in the future. The company’s efforts to simplify and streamline the platform experience also include improvements to search functionality. In February, Reddit announced that users would be able to search for keywords within posts.
It will be interesting to see how Reddit users react to the new features, and whether it attracts new users to the platform. With video content becoming more and more popular on social media, this move could be a significant step for Reddit in staying relevant in an ever-evolving digital landscape. We’ll have to wait and see how these new features are received by the community.
Realme launched the C55 smartphone in Indonesia yesterday. Now the company’s Europe CEO Francis Wong took to Twitter to confirm the smartphone’s arrival in Europe. However, the exact launch date remains a mystery. The European variant is expected to pack the same specifications as its Indonesian counterpart.
The Realme C55 features a 6.52-inch FHD+ display with a 90Hz refresh rate and 680 nits peak brightness. It has a centre-aligned punch-hole cutout that works as an extension of the notification bar. It is called Mini Capsule and is quite similar to Apple’s Dynamic Island. It is capable of showing information like low battery alerts, charging status, data consumption, and more.
The Realme C55 has a side-mounted fingerprint scanner embedded in the power button. There are two camera rings on the back panel without any module. The smartphone has a 64MP primary sensor paired with a 2MP secondary lens and there is an 8MP front-facing selfie snapper.
Internally, the Realme C55 is equipped with a MediaTek Helio G88 processor. It is offered in 6GB + 128GB and 8GB + 256GB RAM and storage configurations. The smartphone draws its power from a 5,000mAh battery unit with support for 33W fast charging. It runs on Android 13 OS out of the box.
Connectivity options on the Realme C55 include a dedicated microSD card slot, USB-C port, 3.5mm jack, 4G, and NFC.
The Realme C55 starts at Rp 2,499,000 in Indonesia for the base variant. We can expect to learn the official launch date of the smartphone in the European markets in the coming days.
At the end of December, the Honor 80 GT made its debut in China. The smartphone was announced only in two memory configurations. Both variants have the same amount of storage (256GB) but their RAM size is different.
Now, two months later, the brand has released a 512GB storage version of the handset. This variant offers 12GB RAM.
The new 12GB + 512GB memory configuration of Honor 80 GT is priced at ¥3,299 (~$475). This version of the phone is already up for sale across multiple platforms in China.
On the other hand, the older 12GB + 256GB and 16GB + 256GB currently retail at ¥2,999 (~$430) and ¥3,299 (~$475), respectively. They were introduced at ¥3,299 (~$475) and ¥3,599 (~$515).
As per Honor‘s online store, the ¥300 discount is a limited-time deal. Therefore, we think that the price of the latest 12GB + 51GB variant may also rise to ¥3,599 (~$515) later.
As you can see, both 16GB + 255GB and 12GB + 512GB versions cost the same. It is better to choose the model with more storage over the one with more RAM.
Unfortunately, this device is limited to China. It is not known whether it will be made available in global markets.
Some of the key highlights of this product include a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 Chip, LPDDR5 RAM, UFS 3.1 storage, a 6.67-inch 10-bit 120Hz OLED display, a 54MP primary camera, a 4,800mAh battery, and 66W wired charging support.
Vivo is rumored to be working on a new flip phone, the Vivo X Flip, which is expected to be unveiled in China next month. The phone will be powered by a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor, just like the Vivo X Fold+, and will come with 12GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. The most exciting aspect of the phone, however, is its camera setup.
According to leaked details from reliable source Digital Chat Station, the Vivo X Flip will have a dual-camera island on its large cover display, which will be a 50MP Sony IMX866 main and a 12MP IMX663 ultra-wide. The rear cameras will bear the Zeiss branding, a feature that is shared with other Vivo flagship devices. There will also be an additional camera on the inside of the phone, though the resolution of this camera remains unknown.
In terms of the phone’s display, it will reportedly have a 6.8-inch FHD+ resolution with a 120Hz refresh rate. The aspect ratio of the phone will be more slender than the Moto Razr 2022, but not as much as the Galaxy Z Flip4. It is expected to match the Oppo Find N2 Flip’s 6.8-inch 1,080 x 2,520px (21:9) display.
The Vivo X Flip is also rumored to have a fairly large 4,400mAh battery with support for 44W fast charging, making it one of the most powerful flip phones on the market. The phone will also come with a side-mounted fingerprint reader, which is likely to be built into the power button.
The Vivo X Flip is expected to be announced in China next month, with teasers possibly being released as early as next week. As the flip foldable competition is currently sparse, many people are excited about the phone’s release. The Vivo X Fold 2, which will come with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, is also expected to be announced soon.

The Samsung Galaxy A34 5G is predicted to feature a 5,000mAh battery that supports 25W fast charging and run on OneUI 5.0 software based on Android 13. Additionally, the phone will have an IP67 rating for dust and water resistance, a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, dual SIM support, NFC, OTG, and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
Apple introduced Emergency SOS satellite connectivity on the current-generation iPhone 14 series last year. Currently, the feature works in six countries including the US, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, and the UK. The Cupertino-based tech giant officially announced yesterday that the service is expanding to six more countries.

Apple’s Emergency SOS via Satellite feature on the iPhone 14 series allows users of the device to send emergency message alerts in remote places where there is no cellular or WiFi coverage without any special hardware. It’s worth noting that the feature only works outside in open spaces with a clear sight of the sky and without any obstructions like trees, buildings etc. The groundbreaking feature is coming to Austria, Belgium, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, and Portugal later this month. This will make the Emergency SOS feature on the iPhone 14 series operational in 12 countries in total.
The iPhone 14 Pro recently bagged GSMA’s Global Mobile Awards in the ‘Disruptive Device Innovation’ category for the Emergency SOS feature. It has been praised numerous times by first responders and rescue teams for saving lives of customers who have been struck in emergency situations.
In other news, Apple also announced a Yellow colour option for the iPhone 14 and 14 Plus. The company followed the tradition of mid-cycle colour updates after the iPhone 12 Purple in 2021 and iPhone 13 / 13 Pro Green last year. Additionally. Apple also announced the release of Apple Pay in South Korea competing against Samsung Pay.
According to various rumors, the iPhone 15 series is expected to follow a similar product launch strategy as the iPhone 14. While details are still uncertain, it seems that Apple is likely to stick with the same approach that worked well for them in the past. The latest Korean report suggests that the standard models in the iPhone 15 lineup (iPhone 15 & iPhone 15 Plus) will not have the ProMotion and always-on display features that are exclusive to the Pro models.
The ProMotion feature, which adapts the display’s refresh rate to the content being displayed, provides a smoother and more responsive experience. This is achieved through the use of low-power display backlighting that supports refresh rates ranging from 1Hz to 120Hz. Unfortunately, it seems that only the Pro models will have the LPTO panels required for ProMotion, while the standard models will not.

Similarly, the always-on display option, which allows the Lock Screen to stay visible without significantly impacting battery life, will also be exclusive to the Pro models due to the 1Hz refresh rate capability of the updated LPTO panels. While this may be disappointing news for some users, the standard models will still feature a more power-efficient OLED display driver chip, which could contribute to longer battery life.
There have been reports of production scale constraints that may prevent Apple from bringing LPTO panels to the entire iPhone 15 series, with the company’s supplier BOE reportedly not having the production capacity for mass shipments of LTPO displays for high-end iPhones until 2024 at the earliest. However, all iPhone 15 models are expected to feature Dynamic Island, which could provide some relief for disappointed fans.
