LG Innotek has just made a notable announcement with the official reveal of its new ‘Optical Telephoto Zoom Camera Module’ that will be made available for future smartphones soon. So here are all the details.
The South Korean brand’s new optical telephoto camera will arrive with integrated telescopic camera function that is capable of capturing the high magnification of up to 4x to 9x zoom. The company claims that the new image sensor that it will be able to capture these shots without the loss of any image quality. As per official notes, the conventional ‘fixed zoom module’ that exist in the industry offers optical magnification only in the specific zoom sections.
Any other magnification applied on the shot is enabled through the digital zoom. However, LG Innotek stated that it has developed a zoom actuator, which is a component for moving the lens to enable shifting of the focal distance. This enables the telephoto shooter to capture clear images between all sections between the 4x and 9x magnification sections as well and is not limited to just the two levels. Notably, this camera tech is also backed up by OIS support (Optical Image Stabilization).
Thanks to OIS, the devices that feature this sensor will be able to reduce blurring in shots and get steadier recordings as well. Furthermore, since the module is smaller as well, the brands that employ it would also be able to save up space inside their smartphone’s body. Meaning, a smaller camera bump or none at all is technically possible.

Vivo is reportedly working on two new foldable phones for the Chinese market. According to reliable tipster Digital Chat Station, the company is planning to launch the Vivo X Fold 2 and the Vivo X Flip in the first half of 2022. The tipster has shared the key specifications of the X Fold 2.
According to the tipster, the Vivo X Fold 2 will feature a foldable screen that offers a 2K resolution. It seems that the front, as well as inner displays, will be equipped with an under-screen fingerprint scanner.
Vivo X Fold Plus
The X Fold 2 will have an OIS-enabled Sony IMX866 primary camera. The foldable phone will draw power from the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset. It appears to be a lightweight device. To recall, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1-powered Vivo X Fold, which debuted in the first half of 2022, weighs 311 grams. On the other hand, the X Fold+, which came equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1, has the same weight. The Oppo Find N2 foldable phone that debuted earlier this month in China weighs around 235 grams. Hence, it is likely that Vivo could be working on reducing the X Fold 2’s weight.
Nothing much is known about the Vivo X Flip, except for the fact that it will arrive with the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chipset. The tipster claimed that Vivo does not intend to launch a successor to the Vivo X Note. To recall, the X Note came equipped with a behemoth 7-inch OLED display, a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset, 50-megapixel quad cameras, and a 5,000mAh battery.
This year, Vivo released two X-series models, such as the Vivo X80 series and the Vivo X90 lineup. The tipster claimed that the company will launch only one generation of X-series phones starting next year.

Realme GT Neo 5 poster
As per the poster, the GT Neo 5 will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chipset. For photography, it will be equipped with a Sony IMX890 primary camera with OIS support. The image of the phone that can be seen on the poster is the same one that appeared earlier this month.

Honor surprised everyone at the end of this year by launching another brand new flagship killer: the Honor 80 GT. Just like most of the GT phones out there, it is a device with a high-end hardware department sold at a very affordable price if compared to most of the Android flagships. Among all the GT handsets, there is a non-GT one representing a perfect rival for the newly-announced device. We are talking about the OnePlus Ace Pro, also known in the global market as the OnePlus 10T. Are you curious to discover which of these phones comes with the most advanced specifications? If so, go ahead and read this comparison between the main specifications of the OnePlus Ace Pro (10T) and the Honor 80 GT.

Design
The Honor 80 GT has a very original design. Its rear side is made with a very attractive texture never seen before and at the same time, it has an aggressive design very good for gamers. Even the design of the camera module is very original. However, the phone is made of polycarbonate, so you should not expect premium materials. The OnePlus Ace Pro comes with a glass back and it has an original design as well, but less impressive than its rival. It is also bigger and thicker, so not the best to use with one hand or to keep in a pocket. At the end of the day, these are not among the best phones in terms of design, but they are acceptable.
Display
The displays of these two handsets are more or less at the same level if we consider their quality. With the Honor 80 GT, you get an AMOLED display able to show up to one billion colors with a diagonal of 6.67 inches, a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels, a 120 Hz refresh rate, and HDR10 certification, as well as an in-display fingerprint reader. The OnePlus Ace Pro is another device with an AMOLED display with up to one billion colors, as well as a Full HD+ resolution, a 120 Hz refresh rate, HDR10+ certification, and an in-display fingerprint reader. But the panel is slightly wider, with a diagonal of 6.7 inches.
Specs & Software
If we talk about the hardware, it is essentially a draw. These handsets are powered by the same chipset: the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 mobile platform built with a 4 nm production process and sporting an octa-core architecture composed of three clusters: a Cortex X2 core running at 3.19 GHz as the performance core, as well as the Adreno 730 GPU. Note that the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 found on the Honor 80 GT is underclocked, with a max frequency of 3 GHz. Both phones feature up to 16 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of native storage, and they run Android 12 out of the box, with highly customized user interfaces on top.
Camera
The OnePlus Ace Pro or 10T has a better main rear camera, so it wins the camera comparison: we are talking about a Sony IMX766 sensor with a 50 MP resolution and OIS, while the Honor 80 GT has a 54 MP main sensor without OIS. The secondary sensors are the same on both phones: an 8 MP ultrawide shooter and a 2 MP macro lens, as well as a 16 MP selfie snapper on the front.
These two flagship killers are equipped with the same battery capacity: 4800 mAh. It is a good battery capacity, but not the best if we consider all the batteries of 2022. However, it should guarantee a good battery life for everyone. While the battery capacities are the same and even the battery life is similar, there is an important difference in charging speeds. The Honor 80 GT supports 66W fast charging, while the OnePlus Ace Pro supports 150W fast charging!
Price
The starting price of the Honor 80 GT in the Chinese market roughly translates into $479/€450 at the actual change, while you need at least $532/€500 in order to purchase the base variant of the OnePlus Ace Pro in China. The OnePlus Ace Pro wins the comparison thanks to a better rear camera, stereo speakers, and faster charging.
It’s been more than a year since Apple launched a new iPad mini and there’s no official confirmation on the follow-up. However, according to the TF International Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the Cupertino company is working on a new version of the iPad mini and it will be launched by the end of 2023 or in the first half of 2024.
Kuo said in his latest tweet today that the new iPad mini’s main selling point would be its processor, which suggests that only the specs will be updated and there will be no cosmetic changes. Additionally, he said Apple is unlikely to replace the Mini with a foldable iPad in 2025 because a foldable device would cost much more, making it an unattractive replacement.
Kuo is a reputed analyst who focuses on the manufacturing supply chain of Apple Inc. His reports often turn out to be true. Apple’s recent patents prove the company at least considers some form of foldable device, but the analyst did not share any other news about it.
Foldable devices are becoming more common day by day since the major Android manufacturers, including Samsung, Oppo, Huawei, and Xiaomi have already launched at least one device in the segment. Apple enthusiasts are eagerly waiting for the brand to launch its own foldable device, but it seems the wait won’t be over anytime soon.
To recall, the current iPad mini was released back in September 2021 and features an 8.3-inch display and an A15 Bionic chip. It comes with a USB-C port, Touch ID power button, 5G support on cellular models, and more. Its price starts at $499 in the U.S. with 64GB of storage.

It is claimed to be 40% smaller and 200% faster than other similar products available in the market.
The RapidLink 600 comes with USB-C (PD) and USB-A (v3.0) connectors that can simultaneously charge two devices. With USB-C PD, one device can receive 35 watts of power, while USB-A (QC3.0) is limited to 18 watts. When both USB ports are used simultaneously, they can supply 15 W each.
Apparently, the RAEGR charger is developed with smart and safe technology that enables it to protect connected devices. It is precisely designed for Indian power outlets and can prevent overvoltage, overcurrent, overheating, and overcharging.
RapidLink 600 is compatible with most Android and IOS devices. It works with MacBooks, iPads, and Galaxy Notes as well. While the iPhones receive 18W QC3.0, PD18W fast charging, the Galaxy flagships, MacBook Air, Type-C Ultrabooks, and Type-C Charging Laptops receive 27W PPS charging.
The RAEGR RapidLink 600 35W GaN Fast Charger’s price in India is set at Rs. 1,799. The charger comes with up to 1.5 years of warranty. Starting today, the accessory will be available for purchase through Raegr.com and Amazon.

The brand has already released a stable version of Android-based One UI 5 to a sizable number of its mid-range, flagship, and budget devices. In the latest development, the Korean OEM is extending the Android 13 update to the Galaxy A13. This will be the first major software update for the affordable smartphone. Let’s look at the details.
The One UI 5 update for the Galaxy A13 is rolling out with the firmware version A135FXXU2BVL2.

As of writing this, the software is being seeded in multiple Asian and European countries, including Armenia, Azerbaijan, Croatia, France, Georgia, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Kazakhstan, Poland, Portugal, Serbia, Slovenia, Ukraine, the Czech Republic, and the UK.
As usual, Samsung is pushing the updates in batches, so it might take a couple of days before the update reaches every unit. If you own the Galaxy A13 and reside in the above-mentioned countries, you can manually check for the update by going to Settings, and selecting Software Update.
The Android 13-based update brings loads of new features and improvements with itself. There are some minor changes to the UI, including an expanded color Palette feature, bigger notifications icons, and better blur effects in the notifications area. The software also includes more quick setting toggles, Stacked Widgets, and improved lock screen customization.
To recall, the Galaxy A13 was launched earlier this year in March with an octa-core Exynos 850 processor. It sports a 6.6-inch LCD display with Corning Gorilla glass 5 protection. The handset features a quad camera setup on the back with a 50MP primary sensor, 5MP ultrawide lens, and 2MP macro and depth sensors.
Oppo recently launched the Find N2 Flip smartphone in China. The device is a direct competitor to the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4, which is the reigning king of flip smartphones. Many customers outside China have been wondering if the smartphone will be launched in the global markets. Now, these doubts have been put to rest as the smartphone has finally visited multiple certification websites like FCC, BIS, and Bluetooth SIG.
