Motorola is apparently gearing up to launch a new smartphone, but it isn’t like its usual offering. The Defy 5G is a rugged smartphone that is being built in collaboration with another brand and will offer a unique system for satellite messaging. Here are all the details.

The company is partnering with British phone maker Bullitt Group to build this new rugged phone. Interestingly enough, this firm has also worked with CAT for their rugged phones as well. Last year, it had announced that it has plans to launch the world’s first smartphone that will feature a two way satellite messaging. This device in question will be the Motorola Defy 5G. Bullitt has been developing this technology by working with the a known chipmaker and a satellite network infrastructure partner for the past two years.

This will enable the upcoming handset to seamlessly switch between cellular, WiFi, and satellite connectivity. The feature is dubbed as the Bullitt Satellite Connect and is a collaborative effort with Bullitt, MediaTek, and Skylo. If the device can’t connect via a WiFi or a cellular as usual, Bullitt’s messaging system will connect through a satellite. Notably, anyone on the receiving end will get a regular SMS on their phones and can even respond by using the Bullitt Satellite Messenger app.

While finer details are not known, Bullitt stated that “the cost of the messages will be deducted from the satellite messaging subscriber’s plan with no cost to the recipient.” The subscription plans to start from as low as 4.99 US Dollars per month and the SOS Assistance but will be free for the first year. The Motorola Defy 5G rugged phone’s pricing is also unclear right now, but the announcement is likely to be sometime in the first quarter of 2023.

Most recently, the new phone that the Chinese technology giant is working on, the Vivo Y100, has emerged on Geekbench, BIS, and Google Play Console at the same time. Giving us a glimpse of its specifications and design. Here are the details…

Vivo Y100 with Dimensity 900 SoC, 8GB RAM Makes Appearances on Geekbench, BIS and Google Play Console

According to the listings, the Vivo Y100 will be powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 900 SoC with a model number of MT6877V/ZA. This octa-core processor has a base frequency of 2.0GHz, with 6 cores clocked at 2.0GHz and 2 more at 2.4GHz. The Dimensity 900 has been used in previous Vivo devices, including the Vivo V25 5G and the Vivo T1x. The Vivo Y100 will also run Android 13 out of the box and will have 7.37GB of available RAM, potentially indicating that it will come with 8GB of RAM.

It will also have an OpenGL version of 3.2. The listing also shows a mini view of the front of the device, which appears to have a water-drop notch and a chin under the display.

The Vivo Y100 has also appeared on the BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) website, which confirms its model number (V2239) and suggests that it may be launching in India soon. It looks like the Vivo Y100 is shaping up to be a mid-range smartphone with decent specifications, including a powerful processor and a high-resolution display.

Jan 9, 2023

Almost a year ago, Huawei released a new smartphone dubbed Huawei Mate 40E Pro 5G and sold it in limited quantities. As the name suggests, this device offered 5G connectivity. Additionally, it came with a Leica-powered camera system.

Two of these features are now not found on any recent Huawei-branded smartphones. Hence, if you are interested in getting a Huawei phone with 5G connectivity and Leica cameras, there’s good news for you.

As per a reliable tipster/dealer, the once world’s largest smartphone maker is expected to restock the Huawei Mate 40E Pro 5G. This handset was thought to be wholly sold out up until now. But apparently, the company seems to have a few units in stock somewhere.

The dealer has also revealed the price of the device. The phone will be available in two colors, such as white and black. The 8GB + 256GB and 8GB + 512GB memory variants of the white color model will retail at ¥5,399 and ¥5,799, respectively. Whereas, the black version of the same memory variants will be costlier by ¥300.

As far as specs are concerned, the Huawei Mate 40E Pro 5G comes powered by a HiSilicon Kirin 9000L chipset. Further, it features a triple camera setup on the rear comprising a 50MP primary sensor, a 20MP ultra-wide unit, and a 12MP 5x telephoto shooter. On the front, it sports a 13MP snapper and ToF 3D sensor. These cameras offer Leica-style image processing.

Other highlights include a 6.76-inch 90Hz OLED display with a pill-shaped cutout, dual stereo speakers, a 4,400mAh battery, and 66W fast-wired charging support.

Apple’s 15-Inch MacBook Air Rumored To Launch Later This Year

Jan 9, 2023

Apple has been working on revamping its MacBook Air lineup by introducing two new models, including a smaller 12-inch model and a larger 15-inch model.

Now, a new report from Mark Gurman of Bloomberg claims that the 12-inch model isn’t coming this year, but the 15-inch MacBook Air is expected to go official later this year.

As of now, not much has been revealed about this upcoming 15-inch MacBook Air. However, display analyst Ross Young had previously said that Apple would start production of 15.5-inch display panels for the MacBook Air in the first quarter of 2023. If the timeline remains unchanged, then the device could be officially released as soon as this spring.

Coming to the design, we do not expect the company to launch a redesigned model, given that the MacBook Air was recently updated. So, the device will pretty much have the same design as the current models.

Internally, the laptop could be powered by the M2 chip or the M2 Pro processor, which Apple has not yet announced. The new M2 series chips are expected to be announced soon, which will power a few more Mac devices this year.

The 12-inch MacBook Air, which was previously stated to launch this year or in 2024, is no longer in the company’s short-term plans, which means that the device isn’t coming anytime soon.

The rear of the smartphone looks almost similar to the regular version, however, the same can’t be said for the front. It features a flat 6.67-inch AMOLED display with a lower 2400x1080px resolution. The panel offers the same 120Hz refresh rate. Unlike the standard 80 Pro, which features a dual 50MP + 2MP camera setup on the front, the cheaper version packs a single 32MP selfie snapper.

As mentioned, Honor has also made some changes to the camera module of the smartphone. It still has a 160MP main camera, but the 50MP autofocusing ultrawide unit is gone. There’s now a downgraded 8MP ultrawide camera with fixed focus. The smartphone also retains the 2MP depth sensor.

Under the hood, the new Honor 80 Pro is powered by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset, which is good news. The chipset is paired with up to 12GB of RAM. Fueling the smartphone is a 4,800mAh battery that supports 66W charging. On the software front, the Honor 80 Pro runs Android 12 with MagicOS 7 on top.

Talking about the price, the new Honor 80 Pro with a flat display carries a price tag of 3,599 Yuan ($526) for the 12/256GB version. It can be purchased in Black, Green, and Pink.

As the curtain draws on CES 2023, Roborock has unveiled three robot vacuum cleaners in the S8 series. The Roborock S8, S8 Plus, and S8 Pro Ultra come with impressive cleaning capabilities. The next-generation Roborock vacuum gadgets are the refreshed versions of its previous flagships.

The vacuums in each of the models are powered by a motor with up to 6kPa suction power. In comparison, the S7 MaxV series offers a maximum of 5.1kPa of suction. The new double roller brush in the S8 series enhances cleaning efficiency and is less tangled with hair.

The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra can raise its brush by 6mm to prevent dirt transfer when in the mop-only mode.

The S8 models have 3,000rpm speeds and the RoboDock helps to dry the mopping pad after use.

The Anbernic RG35XX gaming handheld, which debuted last month, is now available through the company’s website. The portable gaming device has a look that is reminiscent of the classic Game Boy. It sports a fully laminated 3.5-inch IPS screen with a 640 x 480p resolution. It has the same ARM Cortex A9-based processor and 4:3 aspect ratio as its forerunners.

The chipset has four ARM Cortex-A9 CPU cores and four separate PowerVR SGX544MP GPU cores. Anbernic also has 64 GB of microSD card storage and 256 MB of DDR3 RAM. However, if you want to add up to 512 GB of extra storage, the RG35XX contains a second microSD card reader. A relatively small 2,100 mAh battery, which Anbernic claims will last up to 5 hours between charges, powers every component.

Direct orders for the RG35XX can be placed through Anbernic, where prices start at US$55.99. Please be aware that the company sends its products from China, which means that when they get to your country, you might have to pay customs charges and taxes. At launch, Anbernic is selling the RG35XX for the same price in grey, white, and purple finishes. The trio is also offered by the firm with a second 128 GB microSD card for US$70.99.
