OPPO is getting ready to debut its Reno 9 smartphone lineup in mainland China. The series will reportedly include three smartphones: the OPPO Reno 9, the OPPO Reno 9 Pro, and the OPPO Reno 9 Pro+ 5G. The top-end model of the series, the Reno 9 Pro+ 5G, has now received Bluetooth SIG certification ahead of its official launch. The Bluetooth SIG certification of a future OPPO smartphone with model number PGW110 implies that the handset is none other than the OPPO Reno 9 Pro+ 5G.
The same smartphone with the model number PGW110 was previously spotted on the Geekbench certification. The Geekbench listing of the device confirms that it will be powered by the flagship Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen1 chipset coupled with 16GB of RAM. As for the Bluetooth SIG certification, it only confirms that the device will rely on Bluetooth V5.2 for its wireless connectivity. Apart from this, the website doesn’t confirm anything regarding the upcoming device.
The official launch of the device is not really too far, and almost everything regarding the device has been already leaked online. The device will reportedly flaunt a 6.7-inches OLED display with support for up to 120Hz fast refresh rate and FullHD+ pixel resolution. It has been further reported that it will utilize a curved display. Further, the device will be powered by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen1 chipset, which is based on TSMC’s 4nm fabrication node. It will have up to 16GB of RAM and will boot up on Android 13 right out of the box.
As for the optics, it will have a triple rear camera setup with a 50-megapixel Sony IMX890 primary camera coupled with an 8-megapixels secondary ultrawide and a 2-megapixels tertiary camera. On the front, we may get a 32-megapixel front selfie snapper housed inside the punch hole cutout. The device will pack a 4700mAh battery with support for 80W SuperVOOC fast-wired charging.
Anyway, going back to the main headline, known tipster Digital Chat Station on the Chinese microblogging platform Weibo has confirmed that the upcoming OnePlus 11 will feature a complete ceramic build with a metal frame. It will be the first flagship offering by the brand to offer this level of premium build. Further, he says that the device will offer the support for latest USB 4.0 storage. The USB 4.0 is twice as fast as the USB 3.1, with claimed read and write speeds at up to 4200MB/s and 2800MB/s respectively.
Furthermore, tipster Max Jambor reports that these features will be unavailable on the standard OnePlus 11. According to him, the OnePlus 11 Pro will have a superior ceramic body, and the USB 4.0 storage type will be shared by both the OnePlus 11 and 11 Pro smartphones. So, this is how the unreleased OnePlus 11 flagship smartphones will differentiate between Pro and non-Pro varieties.
Going through the previous leaks, the OnePlus 11 is said to offer a 6.7-inches AMOLED panel with QuadHD+ pixel resolution and up to 120Hz fast refresh rate support. The device is said to offer up to 16GB of RAM and 256GB of onboard internal storage. It will feature a triple rear camera with a 50-megapixel primary lens, a 48-megapixels secondary ultrawide and a 32-megapixels 2X telephoto lens. On the front, it will have a 32-megapixels selfie snapper. The integration of Hasselblad will be present in the camera department.
The FIFA World Cup 2022 has officially begun in Qatar. The game has been riddled with controversies, owing mostly to the Qatar Government’s handling of the event. Anyway, Google, for example, generally releases a mini-doodle or other in-homepage games whenever an international gaming tournament goes live. This time, the company is allowing hooligans to score goals against one another in multiplayer battles with a sweet new mini-game.
Activating and playing this mini-game is as easy as searching for something on Google. The feature has gone live for both the Android and iOS platforms. The VP of Engineering at Google has officially confirmed this on his Twitter handle. In order to play and activate the mini-game, one must search for “World Cup” and then hit the soccer ball at the bottom. So, this is how you can activate the mini-game using Google.
This is an excellent method to increase fan interaction ahead of soccer’s biggest event, and it appears that millions of people have already tried out the game. There are mini-games for every World Cup match, allowing fans from either team to shoot golden goals and increase their team’s count into the millions digitally. Talking about the game, it is technically a single-player game having an MMO element. However, the brand has earlier created some actual multiplayer games like the Petanque, which has 1v1 player, and a 4v4 Halloween based multiplayer.
FIFA, the world soccer governing body, was in damage control mode earlier this month, requesting participating nations to desist from criticising the host nation for their dismal human rights record, and to “now focus on the football.” Former FIFA President Sepp Blatter has also stated that selecting Qatar to host the World Cup was a mistake.
Chinese tech giant Lenovo has unveiled a new product under the Xiaoxin brand. The product is dubbed Xiaoxin 5-in-1 multi-function docking station D1 designed for laptops. A USB docking station transforms your laptop into a desktop powerhouse, connecting it to displays, LAN, the internet, printers, and other devices. The display connections are routed to the back of the laptop docking station, resulting in a cleaner desk surface with a greater working area.
The Lenovo Xiaoxin 5-in-1 Multi-function Docking Station D1 is equipped with five ports of which three of them are USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports.

OnePlus is apparently working on a successor to its Ace model of smartphone. The Ace 2 was recently leaked certain details earlier this month, and now, a fresh leak has revealed key specifications. So let’s have a look.
Based on our previous report, the Chinese smartphone maker is working on an Ace 2 model, which might be the rebranded Realme GT Neo 5. Now, a leak from known tipster Yogesh Brar on Twitter has revealed some of the upcoming device’s important details. The Ace 2 is rumored to sport a 6.7 inch Fluid AMOLED display that has a 1.5K resolution and 120Hz high refresh rate. This screen will also house a punch hole cutout for the selfie camera as well.
Under the hood, the Ace 2 will reportedly be equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC that will be paired with either 8GB, 12GB, and 16GB of RAM and up to 128GB or 256GB of internal storage. This device will likely also run on Android 13 OS based ColorOS out of the box. Moving to the rear, the upcoming OnePlus smartphone is believed to feature a triple camera setup. This includes a 50 megapixel Sony IMX890 primary camera, an 8 megapixel ultra wide angle lens, and a third 2 megapixel shooter.
Meanwhile, the leak claims the front is set to have a 16 megapixel selfie camera. Lastly, the tipster also stated that the OnePlus Ace 2 will be powered by a large 5,000mAh battery pack and will support 100W fast charging. Oddly enough, this is slower than the 150W fast charging offered in the previous generation of Ace.
Xiaomi sub-brand Redmi launched the Redmi Buds 4 and 4 Pro earlier in May this year in China. Now, a new model in the series is expected to launch. The Redmi Buds 4 Lite has surfaced in leaked renders. Publication 91Mobiles, in collaboration with Kuba Wojciechowski, has shared images giving us a first look at the TWS earphones. The Redmi Buds 4 Lite will arrive as the successor to the Redmi Buds 3 Lite. The upcoming audio device is tipped to be a budget offering.
Right off the bat, the Redmi Buds 4 Lite look similar to the Apple AirPods 3. It is seen in plain white, but we can expect more colour options at launch. The device has a non-in-ear design compared to its predecessor. It features a stem and slightly curved ear tips with cutouts for microphones. The TWS earphones also lack silicone ear tips. The charging case looks basic, with two slots for storing the earbuds.
Apart from the design, the report does not reveal the hardware specifications of the Redmi Buds 4 Lite. We can expect the TWS earphones to come with gesture controls, fast pairing, voice assistant support, environmental noise cancellation, and more.
As of now, the Redmi Buds 4 Lite launch timeline remains a mystery. Its predecessor was announced in July this year. The device features an in-ear design with a 6mm driver unit. It offers ENC and low-latency mode. The TWS earphones are capable of delivering 5 hours of usage and 18 hours of battery backup with the storage case.
The smartphone market continues to grow. The biggest contributor to this growth is usually mid-range and entry-level models, but according to the latest report from Counterpoint, the number of premium smartphone users in Southeast Asia is increasing significantly. The region’s shipment of premium smartphones (more than $400) increased 29% year-on-year in the third quarter of 2022.
Premium smartphone shipments grow 29% year-on-year in Q3 2022 in Southeast Asia markets
According to Counterpoint Research’s Southeast Asia Monthly Smartphone Channel Share Tracker, premium smartphone shipments (more than $400) in Southeast Asia increased 29% year-on-year in the third quarter of 2022. iPhone 14 series and the other flagship models have a large share in this rise. Unfortunately, the high sales of expensive phones could not prevent the decline in the market.
Counterpoint Research Southeast Asia Monthly Smartphone Channel Share Tracker
Samsung shipments fell 13% year-on-year, while Apple’s shipments rose 63% year-on-year in all major countries. 5G technology was another factor affecting sales in some regions. Demand for 5G is slow in some countries such as Indonesia and Vietnam, while it is much faster in Thailand and the Philippines, where the network is better. However, features such as the processor, RAM, internal storage, battery capacity and charging speed are much more important for users. Most people look at these features while shopping and choose the most suitable model for them.
Counterpoint Research Southeast Asia Monthly Smartphone Channel Share Tracker
Total smartphone shipments fell 10%
Total smartphone shipments fell 10% year-on-year in the third quarter. Economic problems are behind the decline; Southeast Asia is still facing macroeconomic headwinds, and some countries’ investments have slowed down, including FDİ (foreign direct investment) volumes. Unfortunately, the high sales expectation in September was also not met, but positive developments are expected in the last quarter due to Black Friday.
Commenting on the economy, Senior Analyst Glen Cardoza said, “Most Southeast Asian countries like Indonesia, Thailand and Philippines raised interest rates in Q3 2022 to ease the blow of rising prices on the common consumer. Inflation during the quarter was an average 5% in most SEA countries, which is not alarming but did take its toll on consumers.
“Prices for fuel, overall logistics and staple items went up, causing consumers to hold on to their wallets and defer big expenses like smartphones. The majority of such consumers are blue-collar workers or from economically weaker sections. While a country like Thailand is struggling to regain pre-COVID volumes due to depleted tourism levels, Vietnam has shown a 13% GDP growth in Q3. The effect of the same is reflected in the smartphone shipments in the last few months.”
Partnerships between technology companies continue to increase, resulting in better products and less time and money wasted. The last of these partnerships is between ZTE and autonomous driving computing processor developer Black Sesame Technologies. The two companies will work together on ZTE’s first autonomous driving chip and shape the future together.
Black Sesame Technologies partners with ZTE for self-driving cars
Self-driving and other modern features continue to spread in the auto industry. This situation attracts the attention of big tech companies. Companies like Apple and Huawei are entering the auto industry, challenging decades-old manufacturers, one of these brands is ZTE. While the company has been investing in self-driving technologies for a while, it will speed up the process thanks to its collaboration with Black Sesame Technologies.
Black Sesame Technologies and ZTE partnership announcement
According to the agreement between Black Sesame Technologies and ZTE, the two companies will use their accumulated knowledge in autonomous self-driving computing chips and vehicle operating systems to develop ecosystems. This will result in local chips and software that meet market demands. Currently, Black Sesame Technologies has a comprehensive product portfolio that supports automakers in every step of production.
Including proprietary automated image processing ISP, auto-grade deep neural network accelerator NPU, Huashan series high-performance autonomous driving computing chip, Shanhai artificial intelligence development platform, Hanhai autonomous driving middleware, auto-grade integrated detection algorithm, BEST Data closed-loop solution and BEST Drive autonomous driving solution.
These technologies have been very useful for the company as well. Earlier in August, Black Sesame Technologies closed its C+ funding round, raising over $500 million in the combined C and C+ rounds. Based on this, it is possible to say that ZTE has chosen a strategically successful partner. It is a question of interest when this partnership will bear its first fruit.
A new rumor has just revealed some interesting details regarding the next gen Apple iPhone 15. While the iPhone 15 series launch is almost a year away, there have already been a number of reports regarding the series. Now, the latest leak talks about its design.
The news arrives from known tipster ShrimpApplePro who shared the information on Twitter. Looking at the online post, the Cupertino based giant plans on making minor design changes on its iPhone 15 series next year. The company will reportedly have a new border design, with the back edge corner being rounded. In other words, the Apple iPhones might just be moving away from its sharp edge design in exchange for rounded corners. This change could possibly make the device more easier to hold.
The Pro models of the iPhone has been criticized for being too unwieldy. So the brand could be planning on making such a change. We had also previously reported on a rumor that hinted at the next gen iPhone models to feature titanium material for its build, and this leak has also backed up the side frames being built with titanium. Interestingly enough, the tipster stated that this is still very early information and is subjective to change. Keep in mind that this still just an unconfirmed leak, so take this leak with a pinch of salt for now and stick around for more updates.
Xiaomi 13 series is expected to debut next month in China. The lineup consisting of standard and Pro variants have been spotted in leaked renders. The smartphones will arrive as the successors to the Xiaomi 12 and 12 Pro. Recently, there were reports that Xiaomi might skip the number 13 and jump to the 14 series. However, the company executive has denied such information. Now in a new development, reliable Chinese tipster Digital Chat Station has leaked key specifications of the Xiaomi 13 on Weibo.
As per DCS, the Xiaomi 13 is expected to pack significant upgrades over its predecessor. The tipster says that it will come with a 6.2-inch AMOLED display bearing a 2K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. Under the hood, the upcoming offering will be powered by the recently announced flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor based on a 4nm process. The smartphone will feature a new 50MP Sony IMX8-series sensor. The Xiaomi 13 is also tipped to support 120W wired charging compared to the 67W found on its predecessor.
This is everything we know about the Xiaomi 13 at the moment. As per leaked renders, the device has a compact form factor with a boxy design. The display has a centre-aligned punch-hole cutout and slim bezels. The back panel sports a square camera module housing three sensors and an LED flash.
The Xiaomi 13 also bagged BIS certification recently. The smartphone has also undergone internal testing in Asia suggesting an early launch in 2023. We should learn more details about the Xiaomi 13 series in the coming weeks.
Samsung is apparently planning on keeping its momentum of quick updates into next year as well. The company has claimed that it will be offering the new Android 14 update, even faster that the Android 13 roll out this year.
For those unaware, the Google Pixel series of smartphones are still the first handset models to receive the Search Engine giant’s latest Android OS upgrade. There is then a rush in the smartphone market as company’s rush to get the update out on their respective offerings, which also usually run with a custom skin on top of Android. Samsung has had a very quick response time with its Android 13 OS based One UI 5.0 update bringing the latest Unicode 15 emoji to Galaxy users before it even arrived on Pixel phones.
The South Korean tech giant has also been showing off its fast Android 13 update release, with most of its higher end phones and even the Galaxy Tab S8 tablet series have also receiving the update. Now, the company stated in a new press release that it had “drastically reduced the time interval” between the release of the Android 13 and the One UI 5.0 roll out. With Android 13, the company has shown major improvements in its process of rolling out software upgrades.
So apart from Google phones, we can expect Samsung phones to be one of the first to receive new Android operating system builds since typically it takes a couple of months before an update hits phones that are not Pixel models. Back in the early days of smartphones, Samsung users had to wait for quite a few months before being update to the latest version of Android, but this no longer appears to be the case.
Despite Apple launching its latest iPhone 14 series just two months ago, there have already been rumors and reports regarding the next gen iPhone 15 lineup. Now, a new report has revealed that the company is putting more efforts into attracting its customers to choose its Pro series models.
Known analyst Ming-Chi Kuo had stated back in September that the Cupertino based giant is looking to push more buyers towards its higher end smartphone models after seeing the strong sales of the iPhone 14 Pro series. For this, it is apparently planning on bringing many exclusive Pro only features on the next gen iPhone 15 models. As of right now, there have been rumors and reports regarding five of these exclusive features, so let’s have a look.
One of the first exclusive new features will likely be the latest A17 Bionic chipset. The iPhone 15 Pro is expected to be equipped with an A17 chip that will be based on TSMC’s 3nm process. Similar to the iPhone 14 series, only the Pro models will feature a new chipset while the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus will feature the iPhone 14 Pro model’s A16 Bionic chipset. The 2023 iPhones will also house a USB Type C port as well, which would help raise data transfer speeds as well as charging speeds on the new iPhones.
Apart from this, the iPhone 15 Pro models will also be equipped with an increased 8GB of RAM, which will be higher than the 6GB RAM that the company currently offers. Another notable exclusive Pro feature is the solid state buttons that we had recently reported on. The iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max are rumored to feature two additional Taptic Engines that provide haptic feedback to make it feel like you’re pressing the buttons, despite no buttons being actually moved. Lastly, it is also believed that the iPhone 15 Pro Max will feature a periscopic telephoto lens that might offer up to 10x optical zoom.
Earlier this month, One-Netbook launched the OneXPlayer mini Pro handheld console. Now, the brand has announced an upcoming console for the Chinese market called the OneXPlayer 2. For those unaware, OneXPlayer consoles are essentially hand-held PCs that run Windows operating systems and come with capable hardware that allows users to game on them, pretty much like any other handheld consoles.
In a recent teaser video, the company revealed the design of the OneXPlayer 2. For the first time, the brand will be offering detachable controllers similar to what’s seen on the Nintendo consoles.
Similar to the recently launched OneXPlayer mini Pro, the new console will also be powered by an AMD Ryzen 7 6800U processor, and there will also be an option to go the intel path with a 13th-Gen i7 processor. The display of the new console will be a large 8.4-inch touchscreen panel with a 2.6K resolution.
OneXPlayer 1S
Other features include 4096-level handwriting, dual speakers with Harman tuning certification, and the series’ signature orange ambient light. The official release date of OneXPlayer 2 has not yet been announced, but the global closed beta recruitment has begun.
Going by the specs of the OneXPlayer, we can expect a keyboard dock connector at the bottom of the console along with a Nintendo Switch-style kickstand. The volume controls along with a fingerprint sensor can be expected on the back. Up top, the console will likely have a couple of cooling vents, and the I/O with a microphone-headphone combo jack, a couple of USB-C ports, a microSD card port, and a USB 3.0 connector.
The teaser makes it clear that we will be getting an X-box-style controller with shoulder and trigger buttons on top. More details about the console are expected to emerge as we get closer to the launch, so stay tuned.
Huawei has delisted the Mate X2 from its online store in China, reports ITHome. The company has removed both the original 5G model as well as the 4G variant.
The smartphone is likely discontinued. The firm is yet to make an official statement.
The Huawei Mate X2 is the company’s first-generation inward-folding foldable smartphone. It was announced in February 2021.
Most importantly, it is the company’s last 5G foldable smartphone. It is also the last Huawei foldable with a Kirin chipset and Leica cameras.
Hence, it is sad to witness the discontinuation of this phone. At present, it is not known whether the company will bring it back under its refurbishment program, as it does with other handsets.
The Huawei Mate X2 was the thinnest foldable smartphone when it was released. This title now belongs to the Xiaomi Mix Fold 2. It was also the most feature-rich, especially in terms of cameras. But the Vivo X Fold took over this mantle when it got released, followed by Vivo X Fold+.
The Mate X2 featured an 8-inch 90Hz horizontal inward folding foldable display and a 6.45-inch 90Hz cover screen. It was powered by HiSilcion Kirin 9000 chipset. The original model even had support for 5G.
Either way, both 4G and 5G variants came with Leica-powered cameras. The rear quad-camera setup comprised a 50MP primary snapper with OIS, a 16MP ultra-wide unit with autofocus, a 12MP 3x telephoto shooter with OIS, and an 8MP 10x periscope camera with OIS. The cover display housed a 16MP front-facing camera.
The device was backed by a respectable 4,500mAh battery with support for 55W wired fast charging.
The Google Pixel series of smartphones appear to have been cursed with never ending bugs in the last several months. With the launch of the Pixel 7 series, it appeared that the mistakes on the Pixel 6 were improved upon. But it seems that there are still some minor bugs that have caused inconveniences for both the Pixel 6 and Pixel 7 lineup users.
The news regarding the latest bugs comes from Pixel users who shared their grievances on Reddit. A Redditor stated that it “Seems to be when I’m using YouTube mostly but auto rotate doesn’t kick in. Have to manually activate it myself which is frustrating.” Apart from this, other users have also found that by sliding up from the bottom on YouTube would cause the image to automatically flips into landscape. Other Redditor users also joined in with similar complaints.
This bug appears to be affection both the Pixel 6 and Pixel 7 series of smartphones. Similarly, there has been other new issues on these smartphones as well. One Reddit users stated that his Pixel 6’s modem doesn’t start working after he goes through an area without cellular service. He has to manually switch the airplane mode on and off after going into an area with no network, like an underground parking. There have been people also complaining of the Tap to Wake feature not working consistently or sometimes never working at all on the new Pixel models.
All in all, it appears that the major issues have been fixed while new minor bugs have been surfacing on the Pixel branded phones. Although, some of these issues might be related more towards the Android OS than the Google phones itself. Other Android phone users had claimed that the auto rotate bug was a more general issue as well. So stick around for more updates regarding this matter.

The device can suffice the needs of an average camping trip of say 8 people and power all necessary and life-saving gadgets during your trip.
SUPER FAST CHARGING:
It’s all good to have a powerful and high-capacity generator. But the biggest drawback of a power generator is the time taken to recharge it. On average it takes anywhere from 2 to 3 hours to recharge a 2048Wh battery. However, with the advanced bi-directional technology, you can recharge the FOSSiBOT F2400 faster than an average generator.
The device comes with 3 charging options viz. Solar panels, AC outlet, and Car outlet. F2400 can be fully recharged within 2 hours by a 1100W AC charge.

Moreover, when the total load exceeds 2400W power, the F2400 can continue to power all the loads by decreasing the voltage until the peak power reaches 4600W and the voltage below 78V.
DESIGN:
We can find many power stations in the market. But not all of them are designed to be portable. Before selecting a generator it is important to focus on its design and portability as you have to carry and use the device in the harsh and unpredictable outdoors.
Keeping in mind the usage scenarios and extreme outdoor conditions, the designers of Fossibot F2400 have added some special features to the device to make it optimum for outdoor usage. The generator comes with fan covers which keeps the dust, dirt, and insects and flies away from the fan blades thereby decreasing the chances of short circuit and blockages. Fossibot designed rubber plug covers for the DC and USB ports making them water-resistant and dust-proof. Also, on the top of the machine, there is a dedicated space for collecting the charging cables which helps to collect and arrange all your cables in one place.

A Geekbench listing from last week revealed that Samsung is gearing up to launch the Galaxy A14 5G smartphone featuring a new mysterious mid-range Exynos chipset. Later, it was speculated that this could be called the Exynos 1330.
Now, the smartphone has appeared on Geekbench again, this time rocking a MediaTek Dimensity 5G chipset.
The Samsung Galaxy A14 5G was identified as SM-A146P in the Geekbench benchmark database. The device will be powered by an octa-core processor with a 2 + 6 core configuration. This is the MediaTek Dimensity 700 processor. For those who are unaware, the Dimensity 700 is manufactured on a 7nm process and includes an integrated Mali G57 GPU. This is the same processor that powers a number of mid-range smartphones, including the Oppo A58, POCO M4 5G, Redmi 11 Prime 5G, and others.
In the single-core round of the Geekbench 5 benchmark test, the upcoming entry-level A-series smartphone scored 522 points. In the multi-core round, the smartphone received 1710 points. The Geekbench listing for the device also reveals that it will have 4GB of RAM. We can anticipate Samsung releasing it in other memory configurations as well. According to the listing, the Samsung Galaxy A14 5G will ship with Android 13.
Comparing these results with the Exynos version, it is clear that the Dimensity variant will come as a more affordable version for certain markets.
The Xiaomi Watch S1 Pro is the company’s latest smartwatch. It was unveiled in August at the Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 launch event. Even after months, the wearable still remains exclusive to China.
Earlier today, the brand announced that it has released WeChat app for this smartwatch. Let’s check out the features offered by this application.
WeChat is the most-used instant messaging application in China. It is what people use to stay communicated over the internet.
This application is now available on the Xiaomi Watch S1 Pro. Thus, the company’s new smartwatch becomes one of the few RTOS-powered wearables to have support for WeChat.
