There have been speculations about Xiaomi’s first-ever electric vehicle for a while. A new leak indicates that the first Xiaomi EV will be a mid-sized sedan that will be available in two versions. The rumored options for the EV are a 400V model and the more expensive 800V model.

The first Xiaomi electric vehicle is codenamed Modena and the EV details were leaked by a Chinese platform, Jiemian.com. The Chinese media outlet said its sources were people close to Xiaomi. The Xiaomi EVs are rumored to use the Qualcomm and Nvidia Orin X next-generation smart chips. The base model will be run on the 400 V platform while the higher model uses the 800 V platform. The 400V model uses a BYD LiFePO4 battery while the 800 V model uses a CATL Kirin battery.

The current rumor is silent on the Xiaomi EV’s electric motor. However, it has been previously rumored to have a 260kW motor. As per the rumors, it is also speculated that the EV will be unveiled this year and go into commercial production in 2024. Xiaomi has not made any official statement yet on the issue. Jiemian.com also speculated that Xiaomi is also developing a second EV. The EV is codenamed Le Mans and could be unveiled in 2025. The Le Mans is rumored to come with three electric motors and a similar architecture to the Modena.

Speculations have gone on overdrive after a camouflaged vehicle was spotted by several persons near a Xiaomi facility in China. The vehicle was seen parked near Xiaomi Science and Technology Park. It has been speculated that the car could be a prototype of the rumored Xiaomi EV. It is even reported that the prototypes were assembled in September last year. The price of the two Xiaomi debut EVs is allegedly between 260,000 yuan ($38,383) and 350,000 yuan ($51,670).

A prototype head-mounted display unit for virtual reality has been unveiled by Sharp during CES 2023. The prototype which comes with smartphone connectivity is an ultra-lightweight device. It also delivers high-definition images using Sharp’s proprietary miniaturization technology.

The Head-Mounted Display prototype weighs about 175g and consists of an ultra-lightweight VR display and an ultra-thin eyepiece. The prototype reflects Sharp’s long-standing expertise in smartphone development. The gadget can be used for extended periods without stress and fatigue. It folds into a compact size and can be easily carried around.

In terms of quality, the VR display delivers 4K content (2K per eye) with smooth reproduction and a 120Hz refresh rate. Sharp says that the gadget delivers a truly immersive experience. It also incorporates Sharp’s RGB color camera module for ultra-fast focusing using a polymer lens. The image display function helps to deliver images of the surrounding real world in color. A pop-up feature allows the user to display the surrounding images in a separate window.

The Sharp Head-Mounted Display VR headset has two black & white cameras to support hand-tracking that converts hand movement to operations in the visible field. Image focusing is achieved by altering the thickness of the polymer lens and focusing is faster than the conventional models. This function allows for the operation of the headset without controllers.

The new Sharp VR prototype is expected to herald the development of new experiences with a mix of the real and virtual worlds. There are still many details lacking about the latest Sharp prototype. It is unclear when and whether the actual prototype will enter the market later. CES 2023 was from 5-8 January 2023 in Los Angeles. The event this year drew an array of heavy hitters in the tech firmament.

Jan 9, 2023

Xiaomi is tipped to launch a new flagship soon. Industry sources familiar with the matter told publication 91Mobiles that the Chinese brand is in works with legendary camera maker Leica. Xiaomi launched the Xiaomi 13 series in China last month. The upcoming offering is expected to be a new addition to the lineup – probably called the Xiaomi 13S Ultra.

As per the report, the upcoming Xiaomi flagship is said to debut at Mobile World Congress (MWC). This year, MWC is taking place from February 27th till March 2nd in Barcelona, Spain. It’s worth noting that Xiaomi is yet to announce its presence at the upcoming tech trade fair and also about its upcoming flagship.

The Xiaomi 13S Ultra is tipped to feature Leica-branded cameras similar to the other Xiaomi 13 models. The upcoming offering is expected to come with a 1-inch sensor that is found on the Xiaomi 13 Pro. Past reports suggest that the Xiaomi 13S Ultra will have a new periscope camera that is claimed to shock everyone with its performance. The device will sport quad cameras with all four sensors expected to be 50MP. The company’s Ultra models are usually premium offerings with top photographic capabilities.

The Xiaomi 13S Ultra will arrive as the successor to the Xiaomi 12S Ultra. The device could come with a QHD+ display and a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor under the hood.

Jan 9, 2023

While OnePlus initially launched only flagship phones during its initial years, it soon branched to mid range models to better appeal to a broader audience. Now, the latest entry in its Nord series might be in the works.

According to a new report, the Chinese smartphone maker is already working on a new successor called the Nord 3. Apparently, the device is currently under testing in India and carries the codename ‘Larry.’ In other words, this basically means that the new mid range smartphone will also enter into mass production soon, with its launch following after. As per the report, the brand might be announcing the Nord 3 model sometime in July 2023, since the older models were also released around the same period last year.

Unfortunately, finer details regarding this handset is still unknown. Although, we can expect it to offer various improvements over the last generation. The Nord 2T was the last Nord series phone to launch in India and features a 6.43 inch AMOLED display with a FHD+ resolution and 90Hz refresh rate. It was powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 1300 SoC and featured a triple camera setup on the rear with the primary camera being a Sony IMX766 sensor.

So, we can expect the company to opt for a newer generation MediaTek chipset with the successor as well as some improvements in the camera department as well. It is also likely that the brand only offers an incremental upgrade along with an overhauled design for the Nord series. Keep in mind that this is still just speculation so take this news with a pinch of salt and stick around for more updates.

Jan 9, 2023

The Microsoft Surface Duo 2 has recently been out of stock almost everywhere in the US. This prompted many to assume that the company has finally discontinued this device. However, it appears that the product is still alive.

The American tech giant’s dual display handset was out of stock in many stores, with Best Buy locations having no inventory left. Meaning, there were rumors of new Surface Duo 2 not being produced by the brand. But now, the company has officially confirmed otherwise, stating that “We are aware supply is currently falling short of demand in several markets. While we do not have inventory information to share at present, Surface Duo remains an important part of the Surface portfolio.”

This basically means that it has no plans of discontinuing the product any time soon despite facing issues with inventory. For those unaware, new Surface Duo 2 models have been difficult to find for months now. Microsoft had initially claimed that the component shortages were the primary reason behind this. But despite stock issues, the company still seems dedicated towards its Android offerings, with Surface Duo 2 owners also receiving new software features and updates, with more planned to roll out later this year.

As per sources close to the matter, the company is also working on a third generation Surface Android phone at the moment. However, finer details regarding this device is still at large. So stick around for more, as we will be providing updates when additional information is available regarding this model.

Apple could soon open its first physical stores in India, according to a report by The Financial Times. Apple has already started hiring to fill out these stores, with job listings for 12 retail roles at “various locations” throughout the country, including store leaders, senior managers, Genius Bar workers, and more.

At least five employees located in Mumbai and New Delhi have already been hired for the upcoming stores, according to The Financial Times. Apple is also reportedly working on a 10,000 to 12,000-square-foot store in New Delhi, along with several other stores in the country, but it is unclear when they will open.

Apple first made its online store available to customers in India in 2020, with CEO Tim Cook hinting at the possibility of establishing a physical presence in the country during a shareholder meeting around the same time. While Cook initially said that Apple would open its first store in India in 2021, these plans were delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and were pushed back a second time last year.

As Apple looks to expand its retail footprint in India, it is also bringing more production to the country. Apple first started making iPhones in India in 2017 and shifted production of the iPhone 14 from China to India following its release.

With Apple looking to distance itself from China for political reasons and cut costs amid rough economic conditions, India may be becoming an increasingly attractive manufacturing hub. It has cheaper manufacturing costs than both China and Vietnam, and a massive smartphone market that Apple has only just begun to tap into.

OnePlus 7 and 7T Series Reach End of Life, Will Not Receive Further Updates

Jan 9, 2023

Software updates are very important for Android users. These updates allow the phone you bought years ago to gain new features, perform better, and be more secure. Unfortunately, not every phone receives updates for a long time and some lose support. Finally, the OnePlus 7 and 7T series have joined the list of phones that have lost update support. Here are the details…

No More Updates for OnePlus 7, 7 Pro 7T, and 7T Pro

OnePlus has announced that its OnePlus 7 and 7T series, which were launched in 2019, will no longer receive any new updates. The company made the announcement by silently editing the previous update information for the devices on its community forum, rather than making a public announcement. This has disappointed some users who were expecting the devices to receive two Android OS upgrades and an additional year of security upgrades, as per OnePlus’ previous software update policy for smartphones. The OxygenOS 12 update is the last build that the OnePlus 7 and 7T series will receive.

In July 2021, the company announced that all of its devices above the OnePlus 8 series will receive three major Android updates and four years of security updates. However, the OnePlus 7 and 7T series were not included in this announcement. Previously, the company had committed to two years of major Android updates and an additional year of only security updates for the 7 and 7T series.

The OxygenOS 12 MP3 update is the last build that the OnePlus 7/7T series have received. While the official update cycle for the OnePlus 7 and 7T series has ended, it is still possible to upgrade these devices using custom ROMs, but this should only be done with a thorough understanding of the process and by experts. Here’re the versions of the update that the OnePlus 7, 7 Pro, 7T, and 7T Pro received in the end.
