Several reports have claimed that the Redmi K60 series will debut in Q1 2023 in China. However, the machine-translated text of a new Weibo post by tipster Digital Chat Station reads that “the Redmi K60 series will be seen at the end of this month.” Hence, there is a possibility that the official teaser of the K60 lineup may surface by the December end

It appears that Redmi has made some changes to the K60 series’ product positioning for the Chinese market. The Redmi K60E will be positioned like the Redmi K50 in China. The K60 will correspond to the Redmi K50 Pro, whereas the K60 Pro will be positioned as the K50 Gaming. To those who are unaware, Redmi General Manager Lu Weibing had earlier hinted this month that there will not be a Redmi K60 Gaming Edition phone.

The Redmi K60 lineup is likely to be positioned under the Xiaomi 13 lineup, which starts at 3,999 Yuan (~$573) in the home market. There is a possibility that the K60 lineup could be priced between 2,000 Yuan (~$287) and 4,000 Yuan (~$573).

Redmi K60 series specifications (rumored)

Reports have claimed that the Redmi K60E will arrive with an OLED display that offers a 1.5K resolution. It will arrive with the Dimensity 8200 chipset and a 5,500mAh battery. It will have a 48-megapixel Sony IMX582 primary camera.

The Redmi K60 and K60 Pro will feature an OLED panel that offers a 2K resolution. The Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 mobile platforms, respectively, will power both phones. The latter may come equipped with LPDDR5x RAM and UFS 4.0 storage.

The Redmi K60 may also pack a 5,500mAh battery with 67W fast charging, whereas the Pro model may feature a slightly smaller 5,000mAh battery with 120W fast charging. Both handsets will offer 30W wireless charging. The K60 will arrive with a 64-megapixel Sony IMX686 primary camera, while the Pro model may feature a 50-megapixel Sony IMX890 main camera.

Dec 21, 2022

Dasung has just launched an interesting new product in China. The device is the new Link E-Ink display, which is made for smartphones. While E-Ink isn’t exactly an exciting new product by any means, this device can project the smartphone’s display to look like paper or E-Ink to be exact.

The company has just announced the Link E-Ink, which it claims is the first of its kind in the world. This device sports a tall 6.7 inch E-Ink display and is available in two color options, namely Phantom Blue and Space Gray. The Link E-Ink is housed in a thin and light aluminum ally body that has a width of just 8mm. Furthermore, it adopts the CNC integrated engraving technology that enables it to output the E-Ink display from connected smartphones. Think of this device as an external display for smartphones.

When paired with a smartphone, the device can basically project the screen being displayed on the device on its own E-Ink panel. The Dasung Link sports a 6.7 inch E-Ink panel that has a 300ppi density. It does not emit light so it has no blue light, no strobe, and can even display screens of smartphones of different sizes and also supports iPhones as well. The link between the smartphone and the Link E-Ink display is high speed and has barely any latency between them. So one shouldn’t face any delays while using the external display.

Furthermore, it also supports being controlled directly or reversely from the partner phone itself. In other words, it functions as a regular smartphone once paired. There are also two variants of this device, one that connects it to the handset via a wired connection and another that supports wireless connection. The device is available for purchase on JD.com starting today (21st December 2022) and starts from 1,799 Yuan (roughly 258 US Dollars).

Dec 21, 2022

Apple had launched a new self service repair program for some of its products a while back. Now, the company is expanding the scope of this program by adding a couple of new products into the supported list. So here are all the details.

The Cupertino based giant had just recently rolled out its self service repair program in the UK, which includes the likes of the iPhone 13, iPhone 12, and even iPhone SE. In the new updated list, owners of the M1 Mac mini, M1 iMac, Mac Studio, and Apple Studio Display can also join the self repair service. For those unaware, this basically allows you to gain access to genuine parts with repair manuals and even tools.

This program was made for those that would rather make fixes on their devices at their homes rather than taking it to any third party or official Apple Store. All one needs to do is rent the tools and buy all the relevant repair/replacement parts. Although one also needs to enter a code from the related manual at the checkout to show that you have actually read the document. Apple had first unveiled this service earlier this year and only included certain iPhone models in the US.

But this has since expanded to other regions and now also includes the Mac lineup of desktop PCs and more. According to Apple COO Jeff Williams “We believe the best technology for our customers and for the planet is technology that lasts, which is why we design our products to be durable and rarely require maintenance or repair. But when a repair is needed, we want customers to have many options for safe, reliable, and secure repair.”

Last year, Xiaomi launched the Xiaomi Pad 5 series of tablets in China, which later debuted in multiple markets around the globe. The series consists of three models in total – Xiaomi Pad 5, Xiaomi Pad 5 Pro, and Xiaomi Pad 5 Pro 12.4. The brand is rumored to be working on its next series of tablets, dubbed the Xiaomi Pad 6 series.

So far, a few rumors regarding the device have emerged on the internet, giving information on what specifications it could debut with. Now, Xiaomiui has published a new report after digging through the MIUI codes and has found two upcoming tablets with codenames pipa and liuqin.

However, China will be the only country where the Xiaomi Pad 6 Pro will be released. The report also shared the specifications of these upcoming tablets, which you can check out below.

Xiaomi Pad 6 (Pipa) specs

According to Xiaomiui, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 processor will power the Xiaomi Pad 6. This is the same chipset that powers the current Xiaomi Pad 5 Pro as well as the Oppo Pad, Vivo Pad, and Lenovo Legion Tab Y700.

Compared to the Pad 5, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 will be a big improvement. For those who don’t know, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 860 CPU powers the Xiaomi Pad 5.

Elon Musk: ‘I Will Resign as CEO’ of Twitter

Dec 21, 2022

Elon Musk, the CEO of Twitter and CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, has announced that he will resign from his position as CEO of Twitter. The decision comes after a poll in which 57% of respondents voted for Musk to step down from his role at the social media platform.

Elon Musk announces resignation as Twitter CEO following poll

Elon Musk has announced that he will step down as CEO of Twitter, following a poll in which 57% of respondents voted for him to resign. In a tweet, Musk stated that he will resign “as soon as I find someone foolish enough to take the job” and will instead focus on running the software and servers teams.

I will resign as CEO as soon as I find someone foolish enough to take the job! After that, I will just run the software & servers teams.
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) December 21, 2022

Musk’s time as CEO of Twitter has been marked by a series of controversies and policy changes. Shortly after taking over the social media platform in October, Musk fired approximately half of Twitter’s staff and attempted to roll out a paid-for verification feature, which was eventually put on hold. The feature was relaunched last week.

Musk has also faced criticism from civil liberties groups for his approach to content moderation, with some accusing him of taking steps that will increase hate speech and misinformation on the platform.

On Friday, Musk was condemned by the United Nations and European Union over Twitter’s decision to suspend a number of journalists who cover the social media company. The UN tweeted that media freedom was “not a toy,” while the EU threatened Twitter with sanctions.

It remains to be seen who will replace Musk as CEO of Twitter. The billionaire CEO has a history of making and reversing decisions quickly, and it is possible that he may change his mind about stepping down in the future. In the meantime, Twitter users will be watching to see how the social media platform evolves under new leadership.

Apple iPhone SE 4 Likely To Get Cancelled Due To Lower-Than-Expected Demand

By

Dec 21, 2022

Apple has several different models of iPhones, but the most popular models have been the Pro and Pro Plus versions for the past few years, and the multiple experiments with the mid- to low-end versions haven’t worked out well for the brand.

Now, as per the latest report from Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple is expected to cancel the upcoming Apple iPhone SE 4 smartphone or postpone the mass production of the device for 2024 due to lower-than-expected demand.

Another reason for the cancellation of the device is said to be the increased cost of materials because of the full-screen design, which will also lead to higher selling prices for the smartphone. This can also help the company reduce expenses of new product development, especially at a time when there’s a looming global recession, and anything that Apple saves could help the brand.

It isn’t just the iPhone SE models that are not meeting the company’s expectations when it comes to sales. The Apple iPhone 13 Mini, as well as its replacement for the new lineup, the iPhone 14 Plus, had very low demand in the market compared to what the company expected. The Cupertino-based technology giant had to lower the production for the 14 Plus model and boost the Pro models due to demand.

The development comes at a time when reports and leaks have painted a pretty good picture of what can be expected of the iPhone SE 4 smartphone. The phone, which is said to be a “flagship killer” smartphone, features a 6.1-inch 720p LCD display of iPhone XR and could be rated IP67 and be powered by a 3,000mAh battery with support for 20W fast charging and 7.5W wireless charging.

Internally, the device is expected to be powered by the latest Apple A16 Bionic processor, which is powering the newly launched Apple iPhone 14 Pro series but it could end up using the A15 SoC found on the iPhone 14 lineup. In the camera department, there could be a single 12-megapixel sensor on the back and a 7-megapixel selfie shooter up front.

It is not yet confirmed if the iPhone SE 4 has been canceled or postponed, but whatever the case, we expect to know more about it in the coming days from different sources. Till then, we advise you to take this with a pinch of salt until we get confirmation about this from other sources as well.

The Lenovo Tab M9 offers 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi, 4G LTE, Bluetooth 5.1, GPS, and other wireless connectivity options. It includes a microSD card port for memory expansion as well as a 3.5 mm audio jack. The tablet doesn’t have a fingerprint scanner and therefore relies on Face Unlock for security.

Starting February 2023, the Lenovo Tab M9 will hit store shelves with a price tag of 159 EUR (around US$169).
