Nov 28, 2022

After months of leaks, the Xiaomi 13 series launch date has been finally confirmed. The Chinese manufacturer has confirmed that it will be unveiled at 7 pm (local time) on Dec. 1 in China. A couple of other products, such as the Watch S2, Buds 4 TWS earbuds, and MIUI 14 will also be announced alongside the Xiaomi 13 series.

Last year in December, Xiaomi unveiled the Xiaomi 12X, Xiaomi 12, and Xiaomi 12 Pro. It appears that there won’t be any successor for the Xiaomi 12X this year. The upcoming flagship lineup will include two models, namely the Xiaomi 13 and the Xiaomi 13 Pro.

Shown below is a leaked render of the Xiaomi 13. The image gives a good look at the design and color variants of the phone. Since the Xiaomi 13 Pro will be a larger version of the Xiaomi 13, both phones are expected to sport an identical design.

The company has confirmed that the Xiaomi 13 series will sport super-slim bezels. The size of the bottom bezel is only 1.61mm, which indicates that it could be as thin as the upper bezel. Unfortunately, the authenticity of the above renders could not be confirmed.

The Xiaomi 13 and Xiaomi 13 Pro will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 mobile platform. It is unclear whether the Xiaomi 13 series will come preloaded with the latest MIUI 14. If not, it will be one of the first phones to get the MIUI 14 upgrade.

At present, there is no information on the specifications of the Xiaomi Buds 4 and Xiaomi Watch S2.

The company is already selling the Xiaomi Buds 4 Pro in China for 1,099 Yuan (~$152). Hence, there is a possibility that the Buds 4 would be a more affordable product priced at around 500 Yuan (~$70). It will arrive in black, white, and green colors.

A leaked retail packaging of the Huawei Watch Buds shows that the smartwatch comes with removable earbuds. If confirmed, the presence of built-in earbuds in the Huawei Watch Buds could mark a significant milestone. This comes on the heels of the recent release of the Huawei Watch GT Cyber. Apart from the removable earbuds, the leaked packaging also shows the hinged display of the Watch Buds.

https://www.huaweicentral.com/huawei-watch-buds-leak-shows-earbuds-inside-a-smartwatch/

Huawei has released several smartwatches in 2022, the latest being the Watch GT Cyber with a modular design. Although there has been no official confirmation about the Watch Buds, the new smartwatch could be unique. Its name also points to the possible presence of earbuds in its architecture.

After its April listing by the European Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO), the Watch Buds has been off the front burner of speculations until now. A photo of the Watch Buds has surfaced on multiple social media platforms. The image bears some striking semblance to the Watch GT 3 and the hinged display supports the placement or removal of a pair of earbuds.

The Huawei Watch Buds could be the first smartwatch to feature built-in earbuds, but a few companies have attempted the idea previously. Some of the knotty considerations for such hybrid products are the optimum form factor and battery size. There is also the issue of the space needed to store the earbuds. It is unclear what Huawei might have done to overcome the battery size issue. There are also no indications yet on the launch date of the Watch Buds.

Soft drinks giant Coca-Cola has unveiled its battery-powered Renault trucks ahead of Pepsi’s release of the Tesla Semi. Pepsi is scheduled to begin its delivery operations with the Tesla Semi on December 1.

Renault Trucks, the manufacturer of the new Coke delivery trucks had previously mocked Tesla’s Elon Musk about the release of the Semi. While Pepsi is setting up its Megacharger station, Coca-Cola has already commenced operations with its new electric trucks in Belgium. Both long-haul EV trucks by Renault and Tesla mark their entry into the heavy-duty end of the EV industry. Tesla CEO Elon Musk has made several failed promises concerning the release of the Semi since 2017. This year, however, it is expected to debut with 15 trucks to its first customer Pepsi by December 1.

The Renault trucks released to Coca-Cola in Belgium are of the E-Tech D et D Wide model with a likely shorter range than the Tesla Semi. The Renault electric rigs will be deployed for last-mile deliveries by Coke. The model was custom-designed to suit Coca-Cola’s logistic data on deliveries, according to Renault Trucks. The trucks provide energy efficiency, comfort, and safety for drivers. They are also equipped with 360-degree camera systems to eliminate bind spots, a clear door on the passenger side, and a loudspeaker to warn pedestrians and cyclists.

The Renault rigs have a range of 200km on a single charge, compared to the 150km average route distance for diesel delivery trucks. The trucks can be charged overnight from dedicated piles using green energy for the top-ups generated on-site.

Renault says it is expanding the public charging infrastructure in Europe through several strategic partnerships. It hopes to deliver a true competitor to the Tesla Semi in 2023. The new electric truck will come with a much longer range than the electric rigs deployed by Coca-Cola.

Xiaomi 13 Front Design Revealed with Flat Screen & Flat Sides – Leak

Nov 27, 2022

After rumours broke out regarding Xiaomi launching its Xiaomi 13 flagship smartphones as soon as this Thursday (December 1st, 2022), it seems that more images about the devices have started to appear online. This time, a credible source from China has shared a very real life-like render image that shows off the standard Xiaomi 13 device’s front design.

The leaked photo was posted by the official AIUV Planet Weibo account. AIUV Planet is a well-known smartphone case manufacturer in China, and their latest Weibo post that they shared indirectly confirms the front design of the standard Xiaomi 13.

Captioned with “protected in our company’s armour casing”, the Xiaomi 13 shown here seems to sport a flat AMOLED screen with a centred punch hole on top of the display, housing the device’s single selfie camera. In addition to the flat screen, it seems the aluminium chassis is now sporting flat sides as well.

If the case render image is true, it seems that the standard Xiaomi 13 will be a big departure in design in comparison to the standard Xiaomi 12 last year which launched with a curved 120Hz AMOLED screen, and curved sides for a more comfortable in-hand feel.

In addition, the image also reveals that the earpiece speaker is still on top of the display, with the power button and volume buttons located on the right side of the device. The image also showcases the narrow side bezels on the left, right and top of the device, whilst leaving the bottom bezel to be revealed later by Xiaomi themselves.

Besides the vanilla Xiaomi 13, the Xiaomi 13 series is also expected to feature two more members in the family: the Xiaomi 13 Pro and Xiaomi 13 Ultra. These 2 devices are expected to sport more premium displays that feature a bezel-less curved design, alongside a more potent camera system that can trade blows with the best in the industry.

The Xiaomi 13 flagships are to be the company’s first devices to feature Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 flagship mobile SoC. Incorporated with ARM’s more power-efficient A715 and A510R1 CPU cores, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is said to bring better battery life and better performance to the Xiaomi 13 series compared to the last generation.

The upcoming Redmi K60 flagship series is expected to debut sometime in December; however, no official date has yet been set. While we are still waiting for an official confirmation, a new report has revealed the upcoming premium series will include three models—the standard Redmi K60, the higher-end Redmi K60 Pro, and the Redmi K60E. Oddly enough, the vanilla model is claimed to pack a better chipset than the Pro phone. Here are all the details.

Kacper Skrzypek shared some interesting details about the forthcoming Redmi K60 series in his recent tweet. He says the lineup will feature the Redmi K60, the Redmi K60 Pro, and the Redmi K60E models. As per the leaker, the vanilla model, codenamed “Socrates,” will be powered by Qualcomm’s latest and greatest Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor.

Redmi-K60-render — Redmi K60 Concept Render

Further, Skrzypek says the Pro model (codenamed “Mondrian”) will feature the older Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC. It’s strange because the higher-end model usually has a better chipset.

The Redmi K60E, which the company might call the Redmi K60 Extreme, is said to be equipped with a MediaTek chipset, probably the Dimensity 8200 or Dimensity 9200. The handset has the codename “Rembrandt”.

A recent 3C listing of the three handsets revealed only one of them, likely the Pro model, will support 120W fast charging. The rest two devices will have 67W fast charging. The listing suggests the launch of the Redmi K60 Series is fast approaching.

As mentioned, the new Redmi smartphones could launch in China in December. The handsets are also expected to arrive in the global market. Currently, there’s no official confirmation from the brand. However, we can expect an announcement soon. Stick around for the updates.

The 3C certification is a good hint that the Vivo S16 series will be launching soon in China. Hence, it is likely that the S16 and S16 Pro may debut at some point in December or early 2023. The S16 family is also said to include another model called the Vivo S16e. It is also expected to be certified by Chinese certification platforms in the coming days.

The Vivo S15e, Vivo S15, and Vivo S15 Pro are powered by the Exynos 1080, Snapdragon 870, and Dimensity 8100 chipsets, respectively. Speculations are rife that the Vivo S16 will arrive with the Snapdragon 870 chip onboard.

The Vivo S16 Pro is likely to feature the all-new Dimensity 8200 SoC. It is also expected to feature the Vivo V1+ image processing chip. The S16e could be powered by the Dimensity 1080 chipset.

The Vivo S16 may come in color variants like black, blue, and purple. The Pro model could come in shades like black, green, and orange gold. The other details of the Vivo S16 series are under wraps.

Honor and Realme launched two brand new lineups of devices to conclude this year with a great portfolio. These series include very interesting midrange devices in terms of value for money. One is the Honor 80 SE: the most affordable variant of the Honor 80 Series, including two flagship-class variants. Then there is the 10th generation of the Number Series by Realme, including the Realme 10 Pro. If you are not an expert on phones, maybe it won’t be easy for you to understand which of these two devices offers the highest value for money: we are here to help you. Here, you can find a comparison between the most important specifications of the Honor 80 SE and the Realme 10 Pro.

BATTERY	4600 mAh, fast charging 66W	5000 mAh, fast charging 33W
ADDITIONAL FEATURES	dual SIM slot, 5G	dual SIM slot, 5G

Design

The Honor 80 SE and the Realme 10 Pro are beautiful and elegant phones, but my favorite one is definitely the Honor 80 SE, and most people should prefer it over its rival. Despite being a midrange device, it is incredibly thin and lightweight, with a thickness of just 7.7 mm and a weight of just 175 grams. Further, it comes with a curved screen at the sides just like flagship phones in the Android world. I also like the diamond-like texture on the rear side of the phone. The Realme 10 Pro is another original and elegant phone, but thicker and lighter, and without a curved screen. There is no way for it to compete with the Honor 80SE, in my honest opinion, at least when it comes to the design.

Display

If your goal is to get a better image quality and a better display, then you should opt for the Honor 80 SE. It sports an amazing OLED display able to show up to one billion colors with a diagonal of 6.67 inches, a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels, and a 120 Hz refresh rate. It also sports an in-display fingerprint reader. This panel has superior color reproduction, as well as deeper blacks. Unfortunately, the Realme 10 Pro has an IPS LCD display, so nothing special when it comes to image quality. It comes with a diagonal of 6.72 inches, a Full HD Plus resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels, a 120 HZ refresh rate, and a peak brightness of 680 nits. Given that it is an IPS panel, the fingerprint reader is side-mounted, on the power key.

Specs & Software

The Honor 80 SE and the Realme 10 Pro are very close if we talk about the performance, but they have two different chipsets, so there is a winner and a loser. The MediaTek Dimensity 900 found on the former is more powerful than the Snapdragon 695 5G found on the latter. The Dimensity 900 is a chipset built with a 6 nm production process and with an octa-core architecture including two Cortex A78 performance cores running at a max frequency of 2.4 GHz, six Cortex A55 efficient cores running at 2 GHz, and a Mali G68 MC4 GPU. The Snapdragon 695 5G is built with the same production process and it has an octa-core architecture composed of two Kryo 660 Gold cores running at 2.2 GHz, six Kryo 660 Silver cores running at 1.8 GHz, and an Adreno 619 GPU. On both phones, the chipsets are paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of native storage, but the Realme is the only one with expandable storage. Note that Realme 10 Pro runs Android 13 out of the box (customized by Realme UI 4.0), while the Honor 80 SE is still based on Android 12 (customized by MagicOS 7).

Camera

The Realme 10 Pro has a better main camera with a 108 MP resolution, but it lacks an ultrawide sensor. The Honor 80 SE has a 5 MP ultrawide sensor, but the main 64 MP camera is inferior. On the other hand, it has a better 32 MP selfie camera.

Battery

The Realme 10 Pro sports a bigger battery and provides longer battery life, but the Honor 80 SE charges quicker thanks to 66W fast charging.

Price

The starting price of the Realme 10 Pro roughly translates into €220/$220 in the Chinese market, while the Honor 80 SE starts from about €330/$330. Which phone would you pick?

Xiaomi 13 and 13 Pro have been leaking a lot recently. The upcoming handsets are expected to debut next month with a different design than the rest of the Xiaomi pack. However, the company is yet to confirm any details about its next-generation premium series. Ahead of any formal announcement, a known tech Youtuber has revealed the upcoming Xiaomi 13 lineup will debut as early as December 1. Here are the details.

YouTuber Sahil Karoul (@Karoulsahil) claims the long-rumored Xiaomi 13 series will debut in China on December 1. Karoul also shared a few renders of the vanilla Xiaomi 13 in blue and brown hues. The brown one we’ve seen before, but the other one is a first.

The images showcase the smartphone with flat sides as well as a flat display. There’s an updated camera island with large square-shaped lenses occupying three of the four corners. Previously leaked renders revealed Xiaomi 13 will have a flat front panel with thin bezels along with a centrally-placed punch-hole camera on the top.

The handset was recently spotted on the Geekbench website with Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor paired with 12GB RAM. The handset managed to get a respectable score of 1,497 points in single-core testing and 5,089 points in multi-core testing.

Xiaomi 13 is tipped to arrive with a 6.2-inch AMOLED display with a 2K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. It could sport a 50MP Sony IMX8-series camera sensor and support 120W fast wired charging.

The Pro model will also be equipped with the same processor, but it got a higher score on Geekbench. The Xiaomi 13 Pro scored 1504 points in the single-core test and 5342 points in the multi-core test of Geekbench 5.

Philips 27B1U7903 professional-grade monitor launched with 4K resolution, Mini LED backlight & Thunderbolt 4 port

Last week, Philips launched the Evnia 34-inch curved gaming monitor with a 165Hz refresh rate and a WQHD resolution. Now, the company has launched a new high-end professional monitor called the Philips 27B1U7903.

The Philips 27B1U7903 monitor is a 27-inch 4K panel with Mini LED backlights and Thunderbolt 4 connectivity. The Philips 27B1U7903 includes 2,304 dimming zones, which the manufacturer claims to be “the most local dimming zones in a 27-inch monitor.” The majority of IPS monitors have 576 zones.

When viewing HDR material, the Philips 27B1U7903 reaches a maximum brightness of 1,400 cd/m2 and a typical contrast ratio of 1,300:1. When viewing images, the monitor instead achieves 1,000 cd/m2. Additionally, the Philips 27B1U7903 is DisplayHDR 1400 certified, ensuring that at least 95.6% of the DCI-P3 color gamut is covered. The monitor supposedly exceeds this standard by covering 97.2% of DCI-P3 and should also deliver 99.2% Adobe RGB coverage.

The Philips 27B1U7903 is a professional monitor, hence it does not support high refresh rates or quick response times. Instead, the monitor’s maximum speeds are 60 Hz and 4 ms (GtG). In a similar vein, Philips has only offered DisplayPort 1.4 and HDMI 2.0 connectors, and a single Thunderbolt 4 port can supply 90 W of power, along with data, upstream, and video, to a connected device. The display also has Gigabit Ethernet, a 3.5 mm jack, and four USB 3.2 Type-A ports. You can get the Philips 27B1U7903 right now for £1,199, VAT included.
