Last week, OnePlus officially teased the launch of the OnePlus 11 5G for the first time. Another recent revelation made by the brand confirmed that the device will launch on February 7 in India at the OnePlus Cloud 11 event. Now, a teaser poster of the device has leaked that confirms the design of the OnePlus 11.
The leak comes from Tipster Max Jambor who has uploaded the leaked poster online. The poster reveals the exact same design that was previously leaked by tipster OnLeaks, and it also confirms the two color variants of the device – Black and Green. The alert slider and the power button are visible on the right side, which leaves the left side for the volume rocker.
Other than that, the “Co-developed with Hasselblad” label on the poster also emphasizes the company’s collaboration on the OnePlus flagship camera. No further details of the device have been revealed by the leaked poster, so let’s take a look at what’s known so far.
OnePlus 11 specs
The handset will be equipped with the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC. The chipset will likely be paired with 16GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 256GB of UFS 4.0 storage. A 6.7-inch curved AMOLED display with a QHD+ resolution and 120Hz refresh rate support is anticipated for the OnePlus 11.
The smartphone will be equipped with three cameras for photography, including a 50MP Sony IMX890 sensor, a 48MP ultra-wide-angle lens, and a 32MP telephoto lens. Additionally, it will support 100W fast charging and contain a 5000mAh battery. The phone will have OxygenOS 13 preloaded, which will operate on top of Android 13.
A new Vivo phone with model number V2230A was spotted at the Chinese certification platforms in recent weeks. It has now appeared in the product library of China Telcom with the “Vivo Y35m” final marketing name. The device will go official soon as the listing has revealed its specifications, images, and expected price.
Vivo Y35m specifications (rumored)
The Vivo Y35m will house a 6.51-inch IPS LCD panel with an HD+ resolution of 720 x 1600 pixels. The device will run on the Android 13 OS. It will have a side-facing fingerprint scanner for security.
The Y35m is powered by the Dimensity 700 chipset, up to 8 GB of RAM and a 5,000mAh battery that may be capable of 18W charging. The Y35m will offer internal storage of up to 256 GB and it also features a microSD card slot for additional storage.

The specifications of the Vivo Y35m seem identical to the Vivo Y35 5G, which debuted in China earlier this month. It is likely that the Y35m could be exclusively available via China Telecom in the Chines market.
As per the China Telecom listing, the Vivo Y35m will be available in four different configurations: 4 GB RAM + 128 GB storage for 1,499 Yuan (~$215), 6 GB RAM + 128 GB storage for 1,599 Yuan (~$230), 8 GB RAM + 128 GB storage for 1,699 Yuan (~$243), and 8 GB RAM + 256 GB storage for 1,799 Yuan (~$258).

In November, Qualcomm unveiled the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 mobile platform. Soon after the announcement, Red Magic confirmed that it will be launching the Red Magic 8 Pro with the SD8G2 chip onboard. Today, the company took to its Weibo handle to reveal that the Red Magic 8 Pro will be announced at 3 pm (local time) on Dec. 26 in China.
In recent weeks, a Nubia device bearing the model number NX729J has been spotted on Chinese certification platforms such as 3C and TENAA. It will break cover as the Red Magic 8 Pro on Dec. 26. At present, the brand is now accepting the pre-orders of the gaming phone.
Red Magic 8 Pro launch date
As per the TENAA listing, the Red Magic 8 Pro will arrive with a 6.8-inch OLED display with a resolution of 2480 x 1116 pixels. The images of the phone available on TENAA reveal that its screen does not have a punch-hole, which indicates it will offer a full-screen experience.
The Red Magic 8 Pro will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 mobile platform. It will come with 8 GB / 12 GB / 16 GB of RAM and 256 GB / 512 GB / 1 TB of storage. To provide a superior gaming experience, the gaming phone is likely to include LPDDR5x RAM and UFS 4.0 storage.
Red Magic 8 Pro TENAA images
TENAA mentions that it has an 8-megapixel under-display camera for selfies. On the back, it will feature a 50-megapixel primary camera, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a 2-megapixel macro / depth sensor.
The Red Magic 8 Pro will come in 5,000mAh and 6,000mAh battery variants. According to the device’s 3C listing, it will support up to 165W fast charging. It will most likely come preloaded with the Android 13 OS with the Red Magic UI on top. The device measures 163.98 x 76.35 x 8.9mm and weighs approximately 228 grams.
Clamshell foldable phones became even more popular than horizontal ones among average users. Having the possibility to fold a normal phone in half without renouncing it to a wide display is a great thing for a lot of people. And that is also the reason why OPPO just launched its first flip foldable phone: the OPPO Find N2 Flip. Besides being the first flip phone from the brand, it will also be the first OPPO foldable phone to hit the global market: it will launch globally at the beginning of 2023. Once in the global market, this device will have one single and important rival: the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4. Which of these devices is the best? You will discover it after reading this comparison between the main specifications of the OPPO Find N2 Flip and the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4.
OPPO Find N2 Flip vs Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4
OPPO Find N2 Flip
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4
THICKNESS
16 mm when folded, 7.5 mm when unfolded
15.9 mm when folded, 6.9 mm when unfolded
DISPLAY
Main display: 6.8 inches, 1080 x 2520p (Full HD+), Foldable AMOLED
External display: 3.26 inches (382 x 720p), AMOLED
6.07 inches, 1080 x 2460p (Full HD+), Foldable Dynamic AMOLED 2X
External display: 1.9 inches, AMOLED, 260 x 512 pixels
The designs and the form factor of these two phones are simply amazing. They are built with premium materials, including glass for the back and aluminum for the frame. When unfolded, they look like normal phones with a secondary display on the rear side, but if you fold them, you can notice that they can actually fold in half and become extremely compact. That is the reason why they are the best phones for one-handed use and the best to keep in a pocket. Between the two designs, I personally prefer the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4 because it is thinner and it comes in a special Bespoke color option which I define as very original. Further, it is the only waterproof foldable phone of the duo, with the IPX8 certification. Last but not least, it has a toughened aluminum frame with drop and scratch resistance.
Display
If we talk about the internal foldable displays, these two phones are very close to each other. The OPPO Find N2 Flip comes with an internal AMOLED panel with a diagonal of 6.8 inches, a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2520 pixels, a 120 Hz refresh rate, and HDR10+ certification. With the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4, you actually get a 6.7-inch AMOLED display with a similar Full HD+ resolution and the same 120 Hz refresh rate, as well as the same HDR10+ certification. The OPPO phone has a higher peak brightness as it is able to reach 1,600 nits instead of just 1,200 nits. But the most important advantage of the OPPO Find N2 Flip is the presence of a wider and vertical external display, with a diagonal of 3.26 inches (instead of just 1.9 inches) and a resolution of 382 x 720 pixels. It allows you to see more notifications and use the rear camera as a selfie camera in a better way.
Specs & Software
The hardware department you can get with the OPPO Find N2 Flip is superior to the one found on the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4. It is powered by the Mediatek Dimensity 9000+ processor built with a 4 nm production process and sporting an octa-core architecture composed of a Cortex X2 CPU running at 3.2 GHz, three Cortex A710 CPUs running at 3.2 GHz, and four Cortex A510 CPUs running at 1.8 GHz, as well as a Mali G710 MC10 GPU. Alongside the chipset, there are up to 16 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS 3.1 native storage. The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4 gets the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset running at 3.19 GHz, but it is paired with just 8 GB of RAM and up to 512 GB of storage. So, the RAM makes the difference. Further, note that the OPPO Find N2 Flip ships with Android 13, while the Samsung ships with Android 12.
Camera
The camera hardware of the OPPO Find N2 Flip looks more convincing: the main sensor is a better Sony IMX890 with a 50 MP resolution, but it lacks OIS, while the Samsung has an old 12 MP camera, but it has OIS.
The OPPO Find N2 Flip wins the battery comparison thanks to a bigger 4300 mAh battery. It also charges faster, thanks to 44W fast charging, but, unlike the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4, it lacks wireless charging.
Price
The OPPO Find N2 Flip starts from $850/€800 in China and it is yet to hit the global market, and the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4 starts from the same price. The OPPO Find N2 Flip wins the comparison.
Korean tech giant LG Electronics has showcased a new air conditioner with a design quite different from traditional air conditioners. The new product, dubbed LG ARTCOOL Gallery Air-conditioner, integrates a display monitor into the design. The Artcool Gallery AC is set to be unveiled at CES 2023.
The LG ARTCOOL Gallery Air-conditioner is equipped with a huge 27-inch LCD display that can be used to display artwork. The display has requisite borders on all sides and can give the impression that it is a piece of art installed inside a frame instead of an air-conditioner.
The gadget also supports LG ThinQ applications and can be cooled or heated through LG’s DUAL Inverter Compressor technology and 3-way indirect airflow. Through LG ThinQ, users can let the air conditioner display any picture or video content they like so that this air conditioner can become a part of their home decoration.
Additionally, the air conditioner will be able to operate at a noise level of 20 decibels and close its “hidden” bottom blades in sleep mode so as not to disturb or disrupt the user’s rest.
As stated earlier, the ARTCOOL Gallery Air-conditioner will be publicly displayed at CES 2023 in January next year. We don’t know when the product will go on sale but it promises to be a hot one when it does. The price is also not known as at this moment. We expect the ARTCOOL to adopt a hefty price tag but LG might just throw us a surprise by making it affordable.

The Google Pixel Tablet and its charging speaker dock have surfaced on Facebook Marketplace. The unreleased Google tablet has a similar screen setup as the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro’s Feathers collection.
The leak of the Google Pixel Tablet shows what looks like its default app setup. It shows the tablet-optimized Pixel Launcher home screen, with the search bar sitting atop default apps. These apps include Gmail, YouTube, Chrome, and Photos. The last two slots are suggestions.
The default app setup also features on the next row, the camera, Maps, and the Play Store. A view of the dual-pane Settings app for larger screens was also indicated. The current unit shown on Facebook Marketplace is a 256GB model. It has an estimated battery life of about 16 hours at 70%. The rear view of the Pixel Tablet was also leaked and it showed USB-C and speaker grills at the connection to the charging speaker dock.
The Pixel Tablet’s charging speaker dock was also shown in the latest leak. It bears a strong resemblance to the base of the Nest Hub Max. It comes with a rectangular power adapter and could deliver 30W power like its sibling. A barrel connector is also featured in the charging speaker dock. The screen bezels are black and the body could likely be dark, although the photos lack clarity.
Google announced in October 2022 that the Pixel Tablet will come in various shades of the nano-ceramic coating used in the tablet’s rear covering. There are still lots of additional features expected for the Pixel Tablet. It could debut with new designs for Google Assistant and Discover. It will also likely feature Android 13 QPR2 preps desktop mode, new back gesture, and more. The Facebook Marketplace listing could well indicate an imminent release although Google remains mum at this time.
Oppo has been rolling out stable and beta builds of the ColorOS 13 to its devices at an impressive rate. Many of the brand’s smartphones have already been updated to Android 13 and the remaining devices will receive the update in the coming months. In the latest development, Oppo has started the ColorOS 13 open beta program for the Reno 7 SE in China. Here are the details.
As announced by the brand, the Oppo Reno 7 SE ColorOS 13 open beta program is now live and users can enroll to try their hands on the latest software. The beta program will allow interested users to try out the new features of the ColorOS 13 before a stable release. However, the beta build could have bugs and issues that may hamper one’s daily usage.
The beta registrations for the Oppo Reno 7 SE will be live until December 22. The company will recruit a limited number of users from China. After submitting applications, selected applicants will receive the beta software via OTA update.
ColorOS 13 was announced back in August at the OPPO Developer Conference 2022. The new OS comes with significant upgrades and a new Aquamorphic design. It has smooth animations, security and privacy improvements, and Material You icons. There are also new OPPO Sans 3.0 fonts.
To recall, OPPO Reno 7 SE comes with a Dimensity 900 chip and packs a 6.43-inch OLED screen that produces a resolution of 2400×1080 and a refresh rate of 90Hz. It has a 4500mAh battery with 33W fast charging. In terms of cameras, the device has a 16MP camera on the front and a triple camera setup on the rear, including a 48MP main camera IMX581 (f/1.7), a 2MP macro lens, and a 2MP black and white lens.
Just days after OnePlus rolled out the drums to celebrate its ninth anniversary, the company has jointly announced a strategic partnership with Oppo. The new collaboration between the Chinese brands will see Oppo stake up to 10 billion yuan ($1.43 billion) in OnePlus up to 2025. Termed Dual-brand strategy, it will make OnePlus the pioneer brand of flagship smartphones from the duo.
The terms of the partnership also indicate that OnePlus products will have a zero net profit margin to help maintain the best features and quality. Oppo’s Research Institute’s cutting-edge technology will be tilted toward OnePlus channel sharing. OnePlus products will be sold exclusively online in China. Customers will also be able to enjoy repair services at Oppo’s service centers across the country.
As of this moment, Oppo’s online stores in China currently have the latest OnePlus smartphones and accessories listed. There are over 5,000 Oppo offline stores across the country, while over 1,000 service centers are available.
As a fallout of the new and enhanced partnership, the OnePlus community app has been relaunched in China. This will stimulate discussion among OnePlus fans in China about everything OnePlus. The new partnership seems fully focused on the China operations of both brands. There are other partnerships in the international firmament between Oppo and OnePlus and these continue to blossom.
The Oppo investment in OnePlus indicates that an average of 3.3 billion yuan will be invested in OnePlus annually. This portends a rapid growth trajectory for both companies. It is expected that the production of flagship smartphones from the dual-brand partnership could battle for a chunk of the share in the local market. Although both companies have yet to provide a full outlook, the prospects seem encouraging.
Samsung has unveiled its Galaxy 25W Battery Pack, a power bank with a capacity of 10,000mAh. The new Samsung Galaxy battery pack is capable of fast charging two devices simultaneously via USB-C. Remarkably, the release of the new Samsung Galaxy battery pack is coming a few weeks after a tipster leaked the device.
The Samsung Galaxy 25W Battery Pack weighs just about 200g and comes in a plastic design with sole color. It is a power bank for Galaxy devices and can deliver up to 25W charging. It can rapidly charge the Galaxy S22 but will struggle with the Galaxy S22 Ultra. The new power bank can also be recharged via 25W when connected with a compatible USB-C adapter. The plastic used for the 25W Battery Pack is made of 20% recycled material.
The 10,000mAh power bank outputs from two USB-C ports with 25W wired charging capabilities. The device weighs 210g with dimensions of 148 x 70 x 16mm. The new Samsung power bank is therefore slightly heavier and larger than most of its competitors. The device will come with a 20cm USB-C cable. Therefore, if you want to use both USB-C ports simultaneously, you have to purchase an extra cable.
The dual charging maximum speed is 9W, which is much lower than the overall 25W capacity of the power bank. There is no pricing information for the Samsung Galaxy 25W Battery Pack at this time. It has however been listed on the Belgian website of the company and we expect more details soon.
Samsung has also not provided any information on the global availability of the new power bank. It is also expected that the device could be available in other markets. Multiple color options for the power bank are also expected.

Xiaomi introduced MIUI 14 earlier this month and recently started seeding the development version of the software to Mi 11 and Redmi Note 11T Pro series. Now, just a week after the launch, the brand has begun rolling out a stable MIUI 14 based Android 13 update to the flagship Xiaomi 12S series in China. Here are the details.

Xiaomi has also added new features like automatic compression for less-used apps, a toggle to turn off permanent notifications, and homescreen pets.

Today, another handset from Xiaomi’s sub-brand has appeared on the BIS India website but without a name or other details.
As spotted by tipster Mukul Sharma, the unknown Poco device has a model number 22127PC95I. The marketing name of this handset is still a mystery since this is its first appearance online. It could debut as a powerful mid-range smartphone. The BIS (Bureau of Indian standards) website does not reveal any details about the handset, except the model number. However, it hints the device will launch very soon in the Indian market.
In related news, the Poco X5 5G was recently spotted on multiple certification sites, including Malaysia’s SIRIM, India’s BIS authority, and US FCC. Reports suggest it could be a rebranded or modified version of the Redmi Note 12 5G, which was recently launched in China.

According to a tweet from Tesla, the company’s production of the Model Y at its Berlin Gigafactory has reached 3,000 units per week.

Tesla’s Model Y production at Berlin Gigafactory surpasses 3,000 units per week
Tesla’s production of the Model Y at its Berlin Gigafactory has surpassed 3,000 units per week, according to a tweet from the official Tesla account. The Berlin Gigafactory opened on March 22, 2022 and reached a weekly production of 1,000 Model Y units in mid-June and 2,000 units in early October.
Recently, Tesla also announced that its factory in Austin, Texas is producing 3,000 Model Y units per week. The rapid increase in production capacity at the Berlin and Texas Gigafactories, along with capacity upgrades at the California and Shanghai Gigafactories, has led to a decrease in backlogged orders for Tesla.
According to analyst Troy Teslike, Tesla’s global electric vehicle order backlog has been steadily decreasing in recent months and was down to 190,000 units as of November 30, 2022. This is reportedly equivalent to approximately 44 days of production capacity.
In October, Tesla released its third quarter vehicle production and delivery numbers for 2022. The data showed that the company produced 366,000 vehicles and delivered 344,000, an increase of over 100,000 vehicles compared to the same period the previous year, but still below analyst expectations.
During the third quarter, Tesla produced 365,923 new vehicles, with 345,988 of those being Model 3 and Model Y and 199,35 being Model S and Model X. In terms of deliveries, Tesla delivered 343,830 new vehicles, with 325,158 being Model 3 and Model Y and 18,672 being Model S and Model X.
In terms of production and delivery, Tesla’s performance in the third quarter was impacted by the global semiconductor shortage and logistics challenges, but the company is working to increase production and delivery capacity. The rapid increase in Model Y production at the Berlin and Texas Gigafactories is a positive sign for Tesla’s production capabilities.
OnePlus is aiming to expand its product portfolio. After launching smartphones since its inception, the brand has announced televisions, TWS earphones, and smart wearables in the last few years. The Chinese brand entered the PC segment with the launch of monitors earlier this month. OnePlus also announced a co-creation platform called ‘OnePlus Featuring’ where the company will work with different partners on new products.

Now OnePlus has filed a trademark for OnePlus Featuring. It has application number 5709699 and the trademark was filed on December 5th. The trademark application mentions various devices across different product categories. Some of these include smart speakers, smart glasses, remote control, monitors, webcams, network routers, computer peripherals, tablet computer, and more. It’s worth noting that a trademark filing doesn’t assure that the products will make it to the market, and hence it must be taken with a pinch of salt.
Since OnePlus has confirmed that it will work with different partners on new products, we can expect the brand to enter new product categories. The OnePlus Keyboard made in collaboration with popular keyboard maker Keychron will be the first device under the OnePlus Featuring initiative. It is confirmed to debut in February with sales commencing from May 2023.
The OnePlus Keyboard is confirmed to feature an ultra-precise CNC aluminium body for a premium experience. It will have a Double Gasket design for precise calibration and softer actuation. The device will pack customisable features including hot-swappable switches and flexible, open-source firmware. With this, users can customise RGB lights and remap keys unlocking the keyboard’s full potential. The OnePlus keyboard will serve as an all-in-one solution for users’ keyboard needs and it work with Windows, Mac, and Linux..
