As part of the UK regulatory authority CMA’s examination into Microsoft’s proposed $69 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard, a fresh confidential document from Sony PlayStation was made public today. According to the paper, PlayStation may lose its rights to the Call of Duty series by 2027, and at the same time, it aims to introduce the next generation of PlayStation consoles.
The dates have been hidden, but Sony plans to introduce its next-generation gaming consoles after 2027. The loss of COD must be a significant source of frustration for Sony. It is unknown whether Sony has accepted Microsoft’s 10-year offer, which is in addition to the existing agreement they have with Activision. If a new console is released by 2028, the PS5 will have a life cycle that is comparable to the other PlayStation consoles, which is close to 8 years.
Because COD has traditionally given the PlayStation platform exclusive benefits like early access, in-game items, and more, this is bad news for the gaming company. Call of Duty is a tremendously important asset for either platform given that the brand is still selling phenomenally well today and doesn’t seem to be slowing down.
In 2023, there is a significant probability that we will see a console refresh because both Xbox and PlayStation may release updated models of their respective next-generation consoles. Microsoft may be developing an Xbox Series alongside a PS5 Pro or Slim. Sony is worried that losing Call of Duty 2027 will make their new consoles less desirable, which will cause customers to switch to Xbox, the more environmentally friendly brand.
A massive mobile game called Candy Crush will now be under the hands of Xbox thanks to the Activision Blizzard King merger. Both Candy Crush and Call of Duty serve as the cornerstones of this merger, but Call of Duty is the only factor that has given rise to the confrontation between Sony and Xbox. The arguments for and against the perceived worth of the Call of Duty franchise are still being made by both sides, with Xbox even seeking to portray COD as a mostly inconsistent franchise that succeeds to varying degrees.
The end of the year is usually marked by cold weather with sub-zero temperatures in some regions. China, for instance, is reportedly going to experience the strongest cold wave from November 26 since the winter season. The weather will affect more than 30 provinces, autonomous regions, and cities. There will also be rain, snow, and strong winds in addition to the drop in temperature. In preparation for the winter, Xiaomi has launched a smart temperature-controlled heating scarf on the Youpin platform.
The new product was first announced by Xiaomi’s CEO Lei Jun via his Weibo page, thus underscoring the high importance placed on the product. The smart heating scarf is capable of keeping the user warm and to do this, it utilizes a built-in DuPont thermal insulation filling material. It equally adopts high-purity carbon nanotube film heating technology as well as a temperature sensor. The scarf can heat up in 3 seconds and you can set the heating to three temperature levels – 38°C, 45°C, and 50°C. The super-large heating sheet can not only protect against cold but also heat the neck.
In other aspects, the scarf supports over-current, over-temperature, short-circuit, open-circuit, and other protections. Also, the system will automatically power off in case of abnormality. It can also be washed in a washing machine.
The Smart Heating scarf is super-affordable as it is priced at 149 yuan ($21). It is presently available to buyers in China via the Youpin website. It is worth mentioning that when you place an order for the smart temperature-controlled heating scarf, you also get a free 5000mAh power bank.
After rolling out the stable One UI 5 to its latest foldables earlier this month, Samsung is now seeding the software to the 2020’s Galaxy Z Flip 5G. The Android 13-based update is currently rolling out in Europe, with a wider rollout projected in the coming days.
According to SamMobile, the One UI 5 stable update for the Galaxy Z Flip is currently rolling out in regions of Europe, including Germany, France, the Netherlands, Italy, and Poland. Currently, Android 13 is only available for the 5G model; however, Samsung will likely roll out the update to the LTE model pretty soon.
The update is reported to bring all the new features Google introduced with Android 13 as well as some Samsung-exclusive stuff like stackable widget support, Bixby Text Call, new multitasking gestures, and more. It should also bump the Android security patch level to November 2022.
If you are a Galaxy Z Flip 5G user residing in the countries mentioned above, keep an eye out for the OTA notification. As usual, Samsung should release the update in a phased manner, and it might take several days before it is available to everyone. Users can download the update by going to Settings, selecting Software Update, and tapping “Download and install.”
To recall, Galaxy Z Flip 5G launched back in 2020, just months after the LTE variant. The foldable has already received two major updates, and the latest One UI 5 update is probably its last major update. The smartphone will continue receiving regular security updates for the next two years.
Reports from multiple sources indicate that Netflix could soon release an AAA PC game. The streaming giant is having a fast-expanding collection of mobile games on Android and seems to be stepping up its efforts. A recent Netflix job listing required an expert in shooter games, fueling the current speculation.
While the details of the specific game under development are not known yet, such a game could be incorporated into the Netflix architecture. The company says it’s for a creative and highly-skilled Game Director, to help forge the game’s direction. The person will provide the vision and direction for the game from the concept phase up to launch and actual live operations. He is expected to bring industry-leading craft expertise and attention to detail.
Netflix asserts that creating a great game that players will want to come back to again and again. It says customers will be able to create, ship, and run a game without any competing design constraints. There are other allied listings by Netflix including a lead engineer. Netflix’s LA studio is expected to be the base for AAA PC game development. It could also be working on a cloud-gaming platform for higher-quality offerings to Netflix subscribers.
There are no specifics yet on the quantum of investment already devoted by Netflix to the AAA PC games cause. The adventure into the terrain of building AAA games is time-consuming and expensive. Amazon is one of the spectacular failures in the space and Netflix hopes to chart a more productive path.
Samsung is one of the largest technology companies in the world. Even though most of us know Samsung with smartphones, the company actually consists of many different departments. One of these departments is Samsung Display, which is responsible for developing and producing panel technologies. The South Korean technology giant produces displays under this brand both for itself and for many of its competitors, including Apple. It seems that the company is so successful in its business that it produced the screens of 7 out of every 10 iPhones sold.
Samsung is dominating the Apple iPhone 14 OLED supply this year
Apple works with several suppliers for the OLED screens it uses in iPhones. The most important of these are BOE, LG Display, and Samsung Display. According to recent reports, Samsung is dominating the Apple iPhone 14 OLED supply this year. Apple is expected to use more than 120 million OLED panels for the iPhone 14. Almost 70% of these panels will be produced by its biggest competitor.
The company is expecting to ship mid-80 million units out of that total of 120 million. Its closest competitor is LG Display is expected to ship mid-20 million units while BOE is to ship up to 6 million units. Samsung Display supplies OLED panels for all four models; LG Display supplies LTPS for the regular 6.1-inch model and LTPO for the 6.7-inch Pro Max model. BOE only supplies LTPS for the 6.1-inch regular iPhone.
OLED displays are among the most expensive parts used in iPhones. Considering all this, it is concluded that Apple makes money for Samsung from every iPhone it sells. However, this does not change the fact that the US company has outstripped all its competitors in the premium smartphone market.
Realme unveiled the Realme 10 Pro series in China last week. The lineup consists of a Pro and Pro+ variant. The brand carried out the first sale of both smartphones in its home market today. Shortly after, the company took to Weibo to announce an achievement. Realme confirmed that it sold 2,00,000 units of the Realme 10 Pro series. However, the exact sale numbers of both variants have not been revealed.
The Realme 10 Pro and 10 Pro+ are available in 8GB + 256GB and 12GB + 256GB RAM and storage configurations. The latter also comes in an additional 8GB + 128GB option.

Today, Realme also confirmed that the 10 Pro series will debut globally on December 8th. The specifications of both smartphones are expected to be the same as their Chinese counterparts. This means that devices will feature a 6.7-inch FHD+ display with a centre-aligned punch-hole cutout and a 120Hz refresh rate. The Realme 10 Pro has an LCD flat screen, whereas the Pro+ model features curved edges along with an OLED panel and an integrated fingerprint scanner. The Realme 10 Pro duo sport a gradient back panel design with two traditional camera rings. Both smartphones have a 108MP main sensor paired with a 2MP macro lens. The Pro+ variant features an 8MP ultra-wide-angle snapper.
Under the hood, the Realme 10 Pro is equipped with a Snapdragon 695 SoC, whereas the Pro+ model is powered by a Dimensity 1080 processor. The Pro duo pack up to 12GB RAM and up to 256GB native storage. They are backed by a 5,000mAh battery unit with the Pro and Pro+ variants supporting 33W and 67W charging.
The Realme 10 Pro is available internationally via giztop.

Samsung Galaxy A34 has been spotted in leaked renders and a 360-degree video giving us a look at the smartphone. The images have been shared by publication Giznext in collaboration with reliable tipster Steve Hemmerstoffer aka Onleaks. The Galaxy A34 will arrive as the successor to the Galaxy A33 which was announced earlier this year.
The Galaxy A34 CAD renders show that it will feature a waterdrop notch on the top. The screen is surrounded by bezels on all sides with the chin more thicker. Since the predecessor model featured an AMOLED display, the A34 is also tipped to come with the same panel. There is a SIM card tray at the top while the bottom edge houses a microphone, a USB Type-C port, and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
The left side of the phone is barren, while the right edge has a volume rocker and a power key. The back panel has three traditional camera rings with an LED flash unit placed beside it. The phone is seen in Black colour option and we can expect more at launch.
The leak states that the Samsung Galaxy A34 will measure 161.3 x 77.7 x 8.2mm in terms of dimensions. It will feature a 6.5-inch display. Apart from this, there is no additional information on the upcoming Galaxy A-series smartphone.
Past report revealed that Samsung will ditch the depth camera on its upcoming Galaxy A-series phones. The Galaxy A24, A34, and A54 are tipped to come with a triple camera setup comprising a main sensor, ultra-wide-angle lens, and a macro unit. The South Koren brand plans to do this to reduce costs. The Samsung Galaxy A34 is expected to release sometime in the first quarter of 2023.
DIZO Watch R Talk Go was launched globally last week. Now the Realme TechLife brand has brought the device to the Indian market. The latest offering is the third addition to the Watch R series which already includes the Watch R and Watch R Talk. It is the cheapest in the lineup and packs slightly toned-down specifications compared to the other two models.
The DIZO Watch R Talk Go looks similar to the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 Classic featuring a sporty aluminium rim and two buttons on the right side. The screen is protected by 7H hardness tempered glass. The smartwatch comes with a 1.39-inch display bearing a resolution of 360 x 360 pixels and 550 nits brightness.
On the health-centric front, the DIZO Watch R Talk Go is equipped with a heart rate and SpO2 sensor, menstrual period tracker, and sleep tracker. It is also capable of tracking steps, calories, sedentary reminders, and hydration as well as monitoring mood, stress, and fatigue levels. The wearable device packs support for more than 110 indoor and outdoor sports modes.
The DIZO Watch R Talk Go features a single chipset under the hood for a stable Bluetooth 5.2 connection and less power efficiency. Users can answer and reject calls as well as trigger voice assistants. The device offers noise cancellation for calls. The smartwatch is backed by a 300mAh battery unit that is said to deliver 10 days usage under normal use and 9 days with Bluetooth calling. The wearable device packs convenient features like camera and music control, notifications, weather updates, and more.
The DIZO Watch R Talk Go is priced at Rs 3,999 but can be purchased at Rs 3,499 for a limited period. It will go on sale from Flipkart starting November 30th. The smartwatch is offered in Classic Black, Silver Grey, and Thunder Blue colours.
Aqara, has teamed up with LG Uplus (LG U+), one of the top telecom operators in South Korea, and upgraded the co-branded smart home security solution for local users. This solution, named My Home Guard, includes both hardware devices and home security services jointly developed by both parties. Built on the previous generation, the updated solution features a more advanced home security camera with higher resolution, a pan-and-tilt motor, as well as AI-enabled human tracking and pet tracking. The original solution was first introduced to the market in September 2020 under the Aqara – LG U+ partnership.
What does Aqara and LG U+ partnership offer?
For years, telecommunication operators have been exploring new growth opportunities outside cellular and fixed broadband services, and the smart home market shows high potential. Operators are increasingly looking to smart home services for additional revenues, higher customer stickiness and brand differentiation.
They are uniquely positioned within the smart home ecosystem thanks to their already well-developed relationship and trust with their vast subscriber base. Aqara has been collaborating with global operators such as LG U+ to offer seamless connected home experiences to users while boosting smart home adoption.
The My Home Guard solution is one of the smart home services provided by LG U+ in South Korea. With a monthly subscription, LG U+ users receive a home security kit, which includes an indoor surveillance camera, two door and window sensors and a motion sensor. Like all Aqara products, the devices in this kit are easy to install and set up, and require no tool. Moreover, the devices are pre-paired, which means subscribers only need to connect the camera to the app, and other accessories will connect automatically.
Compared to the original version, the updated home security solution features a more advanced home security camera with new functionalities and upgrades, including:
2K High Resolution: the 2304*1296 pixel sensor enables crystal-clear image quality;
Local AI: thanks to a powerful NPU, the cameras distinguishes human and pets, so that pet owners can set the security system to be triggered only when human shade is detected, which significantly reduces false alarms caused by pet movements;
360° Viewing Angle: the combo of the 110° wide-angle lens and a pan-and-tilt motor provides 360° viewing angle, which leaves no blind spot in the room and enables advanced features like automatic cruising, human tracking and pet tracking;
Privacy Protection: the camera is equipped with a privacy shutter that physically covers the camera lens when the camera is deactivated, so that users are reassured that their privacy is well protected;
Dual-band Wi-Fi Support: both 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi networks are supported, which allows better bandwidth for the camera.
The solution also includes the 24/7 home security monitor service. Once armed, the home security system will push mobile notifications to the subscribed user and automatically activate the home camera to record if an intrusion is detected, whether it is an unexpected motion at home or the opening of the front door.
The mobile app has the one-click-to-police button, so that users can check the real-time camera feeds and simply push one button to contact the police (112) if an intrusion is confirmed. Home accident insurance is also part of this solution, where the subscribers can receive up to 10 million won in the case of theft and break-in, and up to 20 million won in the case of fire damage.
The co-branded home security solution has gained increasing popularity among local users, attracting hundreds of thousands of subscribers. LG U+ and Aqara are looking to extend the partnership to more smart home services such as home automation.
The Android 13-based ColorOS 13 beta was made available for the Oppo F21 Pro in September. Two months later, this smartphone has now finally started receiving the stable update.
The ColorOS 13 official update is also being rolled out to Oppo Reno 7 4G, a rebranded F21 Pro sold outside India. This device got the beta treatment in October.
According to official announcementposts on Oppo Community, Oppo has kickstarted the Android 13 stable rollout for the Oppo F21 Pro and Oppo Reno 7 4G. The update is currently live in India and Indonesia.
Like any other OTA software update, this one is also being pushed in batches. Therefore, it will take some time to reach every unit. Either way, users of these phones can head over to Settings to check whether their device has got the update.
As per Oppo’s software update policy, the F and Reno series of handsets are eligible for two Android updates and four years of security updates. Hence, these smartphones will likely receive the Android 14 update.
If you have installed the latest software update on these handsets, then do let us know your experience in the comment section below. It may help those who are yet to install the OTA update.

At the Oppo Reno 9series launch event, the company also debuted a new pair of truly wireless earphones. This audio accessory is officially called Oppo Enco R Pro. As the name suggests, it is the pro variant of Enco R released earlier this year.
Let’s check out the features offered by the new TWS along with its pricing and availability.
Oppo Enco R Pro Specifications
The Oppo Enco R Pro true wireless earbuds feature a slightly different design than the vanilla model. They come with in-ear silicon tips, which are not offered by the standard variant.
The buds feature 12.4mm drivers and connect via Bluetooth 5.2. They are IP54-rated for splash resistance and support seamless pairing with ColorOS devices.
The earbuds support ENC (Environmental Noice Cancellation) for calls, ANC (Active Noise Cancellation), and ambient mode. They also come with support for touch gesture controls and low latency mode for gaming.
Finally, the earphones are rated to last for 28 hours with the charging case and ANC turned off.
Oppo Enco R Pro Price and Availability
The Oppo Enco R Pro truly wireless earbuds are priced at ¥499 in China. They are available for pre-order starting today (November 24) and will go on sale from December 2.
Oppo Reno 9 series buyers are eligible for ¥100 discount on this product.
Although customers like Apple products, it is indisputable that their prices are expensive. Although the company has released affordable devices such as the 10th Gen iPad to solve this situation, it is not enough. For example, someone who buys the iPad I mentioned has to buy a Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil in order to use all the features. Unfortunately, these products are also quite expensive. Unfortunately, these products are also quite expensive, but allegedly, Apple worked on a cheap Apple Pencil that would eliminate this problem, but gave up at the last minute.
The ‘cheap’ Apple Pencil would have sold for $49
According to a post on Weibo, Apple scrapped plans for a $50 version of the Apple Pencil, even though already entered mass production. This version of the Apple Pencil allegedly featured iPhone compatibility and also would have solved one of the big complaints about the 10th Gen iPad. As you know, the cheap iPad now uses USB-C, but the compatible Apple Pencil is charged via lightning, which requires users to buy an extra $9 dongle (sold separately).
The source says that Apple had a new Apple Pencil in the works, codenamed “Marker,” that it was planning to release at its September iPhone 14 event. Apple was reportedly targeting a price of around $49 for this accessory, making it significantly cheaper than the first-generation Apple Pencil and the Apple Pencil 2. Current models are currently priced at $129 and $99.
Unfortunately, its affordable price would also cause us to lose some features. Cheap Apple Pencil apparently didn’t feature pressure-sensing technology or a battery inside. Instead of this, the company developed a chip that would be used to power the stylus through the screen. We’ve seen this technology before on Samsung’s S-Pen models.
In addition, it was planned to be compatible with iPhones. Unfortunately, other Apple Pencil models did not work on phone screens. This could be annoying, especially considering the size of the iPhone Pro Max. Unfortunately, for an unknown reason, this product was cancelled.
Tecno has unveiled the first dual prism telephoto camera that automatically tracks moving objects. The Tecno Eagle Eye Lens uses a system of two prisms that serves to enhance the quality of motion pictures. Typical telephoto lenses feature optical image stabilization (OIS). However, because optical stabilization multiplies handshakes, it still requires the user to manually track a moving object. This also tends to amplify the handshake and quality of the image.
In the two-prism setup of the Eagle Eye Lens, each prism can rotate along one axis at ±8 degrees and the other at ±10 degrees. The camera combines the two prisms to automatically track an object by up to 16º on one axis and 20º on the other axis. Optical image stabilization is also present in the Eagle Eye Lens, correcting as much as ±6º. The OIS and automatic image tracking are powered by artificial intelligence (AI).
The Tecno Eagle Eye Lens works for photos and videos, resulting in better image quality. Tecno says it can capture high-speed images during car races or other high-octane events. It is expected that the Eagle Eye Lens will debut in Tecno and other smartphones in 2023. Tecno has not released any specifics yet on the first smartphone to feature the Eagle Eye Lens. It will be impressive to see the Eagle Eye Lens in an actual smartphone which will be great for photography.

Samsung is apparently working on a new dual display laptop. A new patent from the company was recently spotted, which reveals a design that is quite similar to an existing notebook model from ASUS. So let’s have a look.
The patent was spotted by 91Mobiles and it reveals that the South Korean tech giant could be working on a dual display laptop. The company had filed for a patent, which appears to have a number of similarities with the ASUS ZenBook Fold model. For those unaware, the ZenBook Fold model from the Taiwanese PC maker is a laptop that features a 17.3 inch display that can be folded. This lets it be used as one single monitor panel, or as a laptop or even a tablet, depending on whether or not you fold it or use it with a wireless keyboard.
In other words, we can expect Samsung to also offer a similar functionality with this patented device. Although there is one major difference between the ZenBook Fold and the new patented device. The brand appears to offer a physical keyboard on one half of the screen. This keyboard takes up a smaller space on a corner of one of the display halves. This means that while it does have a full folding screen, its not a complete display surface. So the half that houses the keyboard could act as a secondary display.
Meaning, this device might be functionally more similar to the ZenBook Pro Duo, which is a dual display laptop from ASUS. On the side of the keyboard, there is a small space, which could function as the touchpad on the laptop. Unfortunately, the patent does not reveal any finer details regarding the device and there are no specifications listed either. So stick around for more updates regarding this matter.
