Oppo is running ColorOS 13 beta program for multiple devices worldwide. The Oppo Reno 8 and the Oppo K10 5G, which also goes by Oppo A77 5G and Oppo A57 5G, joined the initiative in October.
A month later, these smartphones have now started receiving the stable update. The Android 13-based software for these two phones is being rolled out in India, China, and the UAE.
As per the November schedule, the Oppo Reno 8 and Oppo K10 5G were supposed to get the Android 13-based ColorOS 13 stable update on November 18. But in usual Oppo fashion, the phones started receiving them earlier.

Similarly, the update rollout for the Oppo Reno 8 5G started on November 17 (a day earlier). For this handset, the update is only available in India and China.
The Android 13 stable update for the aforementioned smartphones is being rolled out in batches. Hence, it will take time to reach every user.
Either way, if you own any of these handsets in the mentioned countries, then head over to Settings to check whether your unit has received the software update.
A recent Geekbench listing for the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra revealed that the device will come with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, featuring an overclocked CPU. Known leaker Ice Universe claimed that these are “exclusive high frequency version” of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.
For context, the CPU frequencies of the Samsung-exclusive Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chips are 3.36GHz for the prime core, 2.80GHz for the performance cores, and 2.02GHz for the efficiency cores. In contrast, the official frequency for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 prime core announced by Qualcomm is 3.1872GHz.
Samsung’s special edition Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 (we don’t know its official name yet) CPU 3.2GHz→3.36GHz. Surprisingly, the GPU is also increased from 680MHz to 719MHz
Now, the leaker has come back with more news regarding the Samsung-exclusive chipset, saying that not only the CPU on the SoC will be overclocked, but the same will be the case for the GPU. According to Ice, the Adreno 740 GPU on the Galaxy S23 devices will be clocked at 719 MHz compared to the 680 MHz unit on the regular variant. It is currently unknown if there will be a change in the naming scheme for these higher frequency chips or if they will simply be called Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.
Talking about generational improvements, Qualcomm claims that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2’s CPU is 35% faster than its 8 Gen 1 counterpart, and the GPU is 25% faster. Additionally, the GPU also has hardware-backed ray tracing capabilities. This new chip version ought to be significantly quicker given the overclock to both. However, it is difficult to determine how much faster it will be in real-world scenarios.
Oppo Reno 9 series is all scheduled to debut on Nov. 24 in China. With only a few days remaining for the launch, the company is now busy confirming some of the key features of the Reno 9 series. Today, OPPO confirmed the camera capabilities of the Reno 9 lineup.

Reports have revealed that the Oppo Reno 9 will have a 64-megapixel primary camera and a 2-megapixel secondary lens. The Reno 9 Pro is expected to feature a 50-megapixel Sony IM890 main camera and an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens.

About a month ago, leaks of the next-gen Sont Xperia Ace lineup device called the Xperia Ace 4 appeared online. The leak revealed an upgraded display and a new-generation Snapdragon chip will be on-board the device along with other minor improvements.
Now, a new leak has revealed the specifications of another upcoming mid-range smartphone from Sony called the Xperia 10 V. The smartphone will be the successor of the Sony Xperia 10 IV, which launched in Q1 2022.
Sony Xperia 10 IV
According to a report by SumahoDigest, the smartphone will apparently support a Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 chipset. The new chipset is based on a 4nm node, offers superior efficiency, improved Wi-Fi speed support, and can handle LPDDR5 memory at 3,200 MHz when compared to the previous-generation Snapdragon 695.
The display department will see a slight size upgrade, going from a 6-inch OLED panel on the Xperia 10 IV to a 6.1-inch OLED panel on the Xperia 10 V. The resolution of 1080 x 2520 (FHD+) and 21:9 aspect ratio will remain unchanged. It will be interesting to see if Sony decides to keep up with the competition and finally offer a higher refresh rate panel instead of the current 60Hz that it offers on the Xperia 10 IV.
Sony Xperia 10 IV
The memory and storage configuration sees only minor adjustments, with the 6 GB + 128 GB combo returning. On the current-generation gadget, LPDDR5 RAM might be available in place of LPDDR4x RAM. A slight bump in battery capacity is also coming, as the upcoming device will now reportedly offer a 5,150 mAh vs the 5,000 mAh on the current iteration. Fast charging speeds, on the other hand, will remain the same at 30W.
It is unclear if the camera details will change if Sony will decide to roll with the same 12MP + 8MP + 8MP setup as the current gen. That being said, the Xperia 10 V is not expected to make its debut until Q2 2023.
iQOO recently unveiled the iQOO Neo 7 in China, featuring the Dimensity 9000+ chipset.

The above poster reveals that the iQOO Neo 7 SE will have an E5 AMOLED display. Under the hood, it will have the upcoming Dimensity 8200 chipset. The device will pack a 5,000mAh battery with 120W charging support.
The primary lens onboard will have support for optical image stabilization (OIS). In a recent Weibo post, reliable tipster Digital Chat Stataion claimed that there is a high probability that it does not have the Sony IMX766 primary camera, which is available on the Neo 7.
