Motorola has confirmed to launch the Moto X40 (Motorola Edge 40 Pro) in December in China. The company has been teasing the features of this smartphone for quite a while now. At the same time, the details about the device are also emerging from other sources.

For instance, the phone has now leaked in renders revealing its entire design. Let’s take a look at everything that’s known about it.

We already know what the upcoming Moto X40 will look like. That’s because its design had been already leaked via a TENAA listing. The latest leak from @OnLeaks (via MySmartPrice) confirms the design again.

As per the renders, the handset will sport a curved display. It will house a rectangular camera island with sensor placements somewhat similar to that of iPhone Pro models.

The power and volume keys will reside on the right side, while the left will be empty. The top of the phone will house the secondary speaker grille and secondary microphone hole. Whereas, the bottom will include the primary speaker grille, primary microphone hole, and a USB Type-C port.

Finally, the rear panel of the device will not only feature the iconic Motorola Batwing logo at the center but also a ‘motorola’ banding at the bottom.

Talking about specs, multiple leaks and official teasers have revealed that the Moto X40 (Motorola Edge 40 Pro) will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset paired with LPDDR5x RAM. It will flaunt a 6.67-inch 10-bit curved OLED display with an FHD+ resolution and up to a 165Hz refresh rate.

The IP68-rated smartphone is said to come with a 50MP main camera, a 50MP ultra-wide camera, a 12MP telephoto camera, a 60MP selfie camera, Android 13, a 5,000mAh battery, and 68W fast wired charging support.

In May, Vivo unveiled the Vivo S15 series of smartphones in China. Recent reports have claimed that the company is preparing the S16 series for the home market. A new leak, courtesy of tipster Digital Chat Station, reveals that the S16 series will launch by the end of this month.

Apart from claiming that the Vivo S16 series will launch by December-end in China, the tipster also shared key details about the S16 Pro. He revealed that the phone will have an OLED display with support for a high refresh rate, a Dimensity 8200 chipset, and 80W charging.

To recall, the Vivo S15 and S15 Pro were powered by the Snapdragon 870 and Dimensity 8100 chipsets, respectively. Reports have claimed that the Vivo S16 will also feature the SD870 chip. It is speculated that the S16 Pro will have the Vivo V1+ IPS, but the vanilla model will not feature it.

As can be seen in the screengrab, the S16 Pro’s rivalling devices are all equipped with low-frequency Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chipset. However, the chipset is only available on the Reno 9 Pro+, which was announced in November in China. The Vivo S15 Pro is also expected to rival other Dimensity 8200-powered devices likes the iQOO Neo 7 SE, Realme GT Neo 5, and a Redmi K60 series phone.

Last month, two Vivo phones with V2244A and V2245A model numbers were certified by China’s 3C authority. The 3C listings of both devices revealed that may carry support for 80W fast charging. There is a possibility that these Vivo phones may debut as the S16 and S16 Pro in China.

The S16 is likely to come in black, blue, and purple, whereas the S16 Pro may arrive in black, green, and orange gold. The S16-series is also rumored to include Exynos 1080-powered Vivo S16e.

Dec 1, 2022

Earlier this week, Apple updated its list of vintage and obsolete products list. The company has added some older models from its iMacs lineup and even one of its Apple Watch model from a couple of years ago on this list.

Looking at the new list, the Cupertino based giant has officially labeled the iMac models from the year 2013 and 2014 on to the obsolete list. Meanwhile, the Apple Watch Series 2 has been added to the Vintage list. For those unaware, these same iMacs were on the Vintage list before being moved to the Obsolete list. When a device is added to the latter, they are finally no longer eligible for official repairs from the brand. So those that have purchased Macs from the late 2013, which is the 21.5 inch iMacs, the 2014 21.5 inch iMac, and the 2014 27 inch Retina 5K iMac, have to look for unofficial repairs if they face any issues.

The company typically adds products to the obsolete list around 7 years after its first sale and discontinues for obsolete products. On the other hand, the Apple Watch Series 2 are now on the vintage list. This vintage products list features devices that went on sale around 5 years since its launch but less than 7 years from its announcement. These products are still officially serviceable, however, the repairs would still depend upon the availability of the specific parts for your vintage device.

Apple has apparently requested TSMC to manufacture its next generation of chips based on 4nm process technology from its new plant in Arizona. The company aims to have the production begin sometime in the year 2024.

The news arrives from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman (Via MacRumors). For those unaware, this Arizona plant had originally been planned to startproduction using its 5nm process technology. However, as the Cupertino based giant and other companies aiming to source components from within the US, the world’s largest contract chipmaker has upgraded its plans to offer more cutting edge chip production technology in its Arizona plant.

The new report further added that TSMC would make 20,000 wafers per month at its Arizona facility, although this figure might rise as well. Out of the 20,000 wafers, the iPhone maker will use around a third of the entire output alone. This news is also in line with Apple CEO Tim Cook who has previously told employees that the company plans to source chips from the Arizona factory soon.

Reportedly, the new plans will be announced in Phoenix next week with key figures like President Joe Biden, Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo, and Apple CEO Tim Cook. Other notable figures include AMD CEO Lisa Su and NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang. Apart from the 4nm production, TSMC will apparently also officially has plans for a second phase that involves an adjacent facility that will produce more advanced 3nm chips as well.

Oppo Reno 8T May Launch Soon With 33W Charging Support

Dec 1, 2022

Last week, Oppo deb uted the Oppo Reno 9 series in China. However, it seems that the company is still not done with the Reno 8 series. That’s because a new Reno 8 model has now emerged on the internet.

This upcoming Reno phone is officially called ‘Oppo Reno8 T.’ But let’s just call it Oppo Reno 8T as it is more readable.

The forthcoming Oppo Reno 8T bears the model number CPH2481. It has been spotted on the websites of multiple certification agencies. The list includes TKDN, EEC, BIS, SIRIM, and Element Materials Technology.

Unfortunately, the listings do not say much about the handset, except for its name and charging speed. SIRIM has revealed its branding, while Element Materials Technology has disclosed that the device will carry support for 33W fast wired charging.

There have been multiple Reno smartphones with alphabet namings in the past. Almost all of them were rebranded devices for select markets.

But this time around, the Reno 8T has been even certified by BIS for release in India. For those unaware, Oppo has not launched this type of Reno phone in India in a very long time.

Going by the slower 33W charging speed, the smartphone could be cheaper than the standard Reno 8, which has support for 80W charging. Hence, we expect downgrades in other specs as well.

Just like any other product these days, almost all details of the Oppo Reno 8T may leak before it goes official in the coming weeks. We are looking forward to learning more about it.

In other words, it basically makes it harder for others to get unwanted access to your private data or track your location online.

This even helps in protection when using public WiFi networks. So now, users of the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro can expect to receive this feature, with the company also putting up a support page that lists the countries where the feature is currently available. This includes nations like Austria, Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, Norway, South Korea, Spain Sweden Switzerland, Taiwan, United Kingdom, and United States.

Samsung, back in June 2021, launched the Samsung Galaxy Book Go and Galaxy Book Go 5G notebooks. Now, the company seems to be working on the successor of the Book Go series. According to the latest reports, Samsung Galaxy Book2 Go and Samsung Galaxy Book2 Go 5G are revealed on the Bluetooth Special Interest Group certification website.

Samsung Galaxy Book2 Go series devices will be powered by Qualcomm

The processor was the most important feature of the Samsung Galaxy Book models introduced last year. The South Korean tech giant preferred to use Qualcomm Snapdragon 7c Gen 2 instead of Intel or AMD processors in their computers. Unfortunately, the devices weren’t powerful enough to rival Apple’s MacBooks. However, it was an important step forward.

Similar to last year’s the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Book2 Go series will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor. The upcoming devices appeared on the Bluetooth SIG database with the NP340XNA and NP345XNA model numbers. The listing reveals the support for Bluetooth 5.2, Windows 11, and Qualcomm FastConnect 6700, which will bring Wi-Fi 6E support. As of now, not much is known about the Galaxy Book2 Go series notebooks. However, we can expect to learn more about these devices in the coming weeks.

Last year’s Samsung Galaxy Book Go specifications and features

The Galaxy Book Go features a 14-inch TFT display with a Full HD resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels and a 16:9 aspect ratio. The 4G variant of the Galaxy Book features the 8nm Snapdragon 7c Gen 2 that tags along with Adreno 618 graphics. It comes with 6 GB / 8 GB of LPDDR4x RAM.

Honda is pushing to go fully electric in the coming years, and keeping that aim, the company has now announced that it will make and launch a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle in 2024.

The auto manufacturer has revealed that it will produce the fuel-cell Honda CR-V model at its Performance Manufacturing Center (PMC) in Marysville, Ohio, as it plans to go fully electric by 2040 and carbon neutral by 2050.

Fuel cells use hydrogen and oxygen to create electricity for powering the vehicle instead of relying on a battery. It has advantages over battery electric vehicles as the vehicles can be refueled in three to four minutes and travel longer distances before going out of the power supply. But, the technology is not ready for mass adoption, and the public hydrogen stations are concentrated in California in the US.

The upcoming Honda CR-V Hydrogen Fuel-Cell model will come with a plug-in capability for its battery pack to allow it to offer a small amount of electric-only range without having to rely on its hydrogen supply. More details of the car will be revealed sometime closer to its 2024 launch, Honda says. The company didn’t say how many units it plans to build but noted that the factory specializes in small-volume vehicles.

Apart from Honda, Toyota and General Motors have been developing fuel cell technology over the last two decades. Toyota’s Mirai mid-size sedan is heading into its second generation. Honda, which launched its first fuel cell vehicle, the FCX, in 2002 and has invested more than $14 million in California’s hydrogen refueling network.

BMW and Toyota are also teaming up to produce hydrogen fuel cell vehicles in the coming years. By 2024, Bosch plans to invest more than $1 billion globally to develop fuel cell technologies, with over $200 million to build fuel cell stacks for commercial trucks at its South Carolina factory.
