Earlier this week, Realme globally unveiled the Realme 10 4G, which features the MediaTek Helio G99 chipset. Today, the Chinese manufacturer silently unveiled the Realme 10 in China. Even though the home market has received the 5G version of the device, the company does not mention “5G” in its moniker. As for the key features of the device, it offers a 90Hz LCD display, 50-megapixel triple cameras, and a Dimensity 700 chipset.
Realme 10 (5G) specifications and features
The Realme 10 has a 6.6-inch LCD panel with a teardrop notch. It offers a 90Hz refresh rate, a 180Hz touch sampling rate, a 20.06:9 aspect ratio, 401 ppi pixel density, 400 nits of brightness, and a 90.4 percent screen-to-body ratio. Under the hood, it packs a 5,000mAh battery that supports 33W fast charging via the USB-C port.

Realme 10 (5G) price and availability
The Realme 10 has arrived in China in two variants: 8 GB RAM + 128 GB storage and 8 GB RAM + 256 GB storage. Both models are priced at 1,299 Yuan (~$181) and 1,599 Yuan (~$222), respectively. It is available for purchase in China in shades like Rijin Doujin (gold) and Stone Crystal Black.
Realme decided to launch the Realme 10 Series starting from a single device: the vanilla Realme 10 (4G version). The phone made its debut in the global market and it is now available with midrange-class specifications and an affordable price. It is definitely interesting for all of those who search for a phone with a very high value for money, but it is a new phone and this means that its price is still not at its minimum. That is the reason why a lot of people are wondering whether they should choose the new device or go for its predecessor Realme 9 4G which is currently available at a more affordable price. And in 2022, a more recent phone does not mean a better phone anymore, even when it belongs to the same lineup. Here is a comparison between the main specifications of the old but still very actual Realme 9 4G and the new Realme 10 4G.

Design
One of the most evident improvements of the Realme 10 4G over its predecessor is the design. It is more curated and original, with flat borders just like the latest iPhones and a more minimalistic look. The camera modules are very elegant as they go directly into the rear cover without the presence of a dedicated camera island. Further, the rear side is made with a special gradient color that changes depending on the light reflection. Even though I personally prefer the more recent device, the Realme 9 4G is still an elegant and good-looking phone. It has a punch hole display, more or less the same screen to body ratio as the new model, and good color options as well. However, both devices come with a plastic body and they are not made with premium materials, unlike high-end phones.
Display
The older Realme 9 4G and the new Realme 10 4G have exactly the same display. So, if you want to know which one is the best for you, it is better to focus on the other specifications. Regarding the display, they both come with an AMOLED panel showing the images with a diagonal of 6.4 inches, a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels, a 90 Hz refresh rate, and the Gorilla Glass 5 protection, as well as a peak brightness of 1,000 nits. It is a very good display for a mid-ranger, showing brilliant colors and deep blacks. But there is a difference between these two panels, even though it is not related to the image quality: the fingerprint reader. The 9 4G has an in-display fingerprint reader, while the 10 4G has a side-mounted sensor, placed on the power key.
Specs & Software
If you are looking for better performance, choose the Realme 10 4G. It is fueled by a superior processor: the Helio G99 by MediaTek. It is a chipset built with a 6 nm production process sporting an octa-core architecture composed of two Cortex A76 CPUs running at a max frequency of 2.2 GHz, six Cortex A55 CPUs running at 2 GHz, and a Mali G57 MC2. Alongside the SoC, there are up to 8 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of storage. The Realme 9 4G comes with an inferior Snapdragon 680 4G chipset paired with up to 8 GB of RAM and up to 128 GB of native storage. Both phones run Android 12 customized by Realme UI 3.0.
Camera
The winner of the camera comparison is the Realme 9 4G. It has a triple rear camera composed of a 108 MP main shooter, an 8 MP ultrawide lens, and a 2 MP macro camera. The Realme 10 4G has an inferior main camera with a 50 MP resolution, it lacks an ultrawide sensor and it only adds a 2 MP depth sensor. Both feature a 16 MP selfie snapper.
The batteries have the same capacity: 5000 mAh, and there are just marginal differences in terms of battery life. Even the charging speeds are the same, with 33W fast charging.
Price
You can currently find the Realme 9 4G easily for less than €230/$230, while you need €280/$280 to purchase the Realme 10 4G. Despite being older, the 9 4G wins the comparison thanks to the presence of a superior camera.

Vivo’s X90 series is reported to arrive by the end of this year in China, and ahead of it, one of the lineup models has appeared on the Geekbench benchmarking site with a few key specs. The device has model number V2227A, which indicates it is the top-tier Vivo X90 Pro+ model. Let’s look at the details.
Vivo X90 Pro+ has been spotted on the Geekbench website with model number V2227A (via MySmartPrice). The listing suggests the device will be powered by a Qualcomm chipset codenamed Kalama. This is believed to be the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, which is built on TSMC’s 4 nm process node and is claimed to offer a significant performance boost.
The listing reveals that the processor has a peak clock speed of 3.19GHz. It has four performance cores clocked at 2.80GHz and three efficiency cores clocked at 2.02GHz. The smartphone also packs 12GB of RAM and runs on Android 13.
According to Geekbench, the X90 Pro+ has received a single-core performance score of 1485 points and a multi-core performance score of 4739 points. The listing does not reveal many details about the specs of the upcoming handset.
The handset is reported to feature a 6.78-inch Samsung AMOLED E6 display that will support a 2K resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, and 1440Hz high-frequency dimming. It will likely have a quad-camera setup consisting of a 50-megapixel Sony IMX989V 1-inch camera sensor accompanied by a 48-megapixel Sony IMX598 ultra-wide camera, a 50-megapixel Sony IMX578 portrait lens, and an OmniVision OV64A periscope zoom unit.
Vivo X90 Pro+ could have up to 12GB LPDDR5x RAM and 512GB UFS 4.0 storage. The device may pack a 4,700mAh battery supporting 80W fast charging.
The recent JerryRigEverything structural integrity test for the Asus ROG Phone 6 Pro has revealed its fragile nature. This follows the trajectory of its predecessor, the ROG Phone 5 Pro which also came up short in the JerryRigEverything test previously.
The ROG Phone 6 Pro has a bulky chassis with a 6.78-inch AMOLED display, a 6,000mAh battery and a whole load of cooling. It is powered by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset with up to 18GB of RAMit would seem however that the veneer of the flagship phone is just skin deep. The ROG Phone 6 Pro comes with an impressive display refresh rate of 165Hz. The flagship has a rear-facing RGB secondary display and a 3.5mm audio jack. Being a gaming smartphone, one would expect the ROG Phone 6 Pro to pass integrity tests like JerryRigEverything.
During the test, the phone’s rear panel crumbled quickly during the bend test like its predecessor. This was attributed to the dual-battery set-up that delivers 65W fast charging. Its secondary, landscape-oriented USB type-C port also seems to be another point of weakness on the frame.
Remarkably, the 6 Pro’s failure becomes more poignant with the rival RedMagic 7 passing the test. The RedMagic 7 mobile gaming is priced much lower than the $1,300 price tag of the ROG Phone 6 Pro. The industry-leading 165Hz refresh rate and its flagship status could keep the Phone 6 Pro even with its poor JerryRigEverything’s showing.
Oppo Reno 9 series is reportedly in the works, and it may debut by the end of this month. The upcoming lineup may include the vanilla Reno 9, Reno 9 Pro, and Reno 9 Pro+. While we are still waiting for an official announcement, a possible Reno 9 series device has been spotted on the Geekbench benchmarking site with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC with 16GB RAM. Let’s have a look at the details.
An Oppo smartphone with model number PGW110 has been listed on the Geekbench database (via MySmartPrice). Although we don’t know which smartphone this model number belongs to, it’s likely associated with the upcoming Reno 9 series. It could be the alleged Reno 9 Pro+, but we can’t say for sure.
It is listed to feature an octa-core processor with the codename Taro. The chipset is believed to be the flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, which is fabbed on the 4 nm process node and offers great performance. The smartphone also packs 16GB of RAM and runs on Android 13.
As per the Geekbench listing, the unknown handset has received a single-core performance score of 1043 points and a multi-core performance score of 3685 points. The listing does not reveal much else about this smartphone’s specifications.
If the listed smartphone is the Reno 9 Pro+, we can expect it to have a curved 6.7-inch OLED panel with a punch hole and narrow bezels. The screen may offer a Full HD+ resolution of 2,400 x 1080 pixels and a refresh rate of up to 120Hz.
It could feature a 32-megapixel camera for selfies. For photography, it may have a 50-megapixel primary camera on the rear. It could be powered by a 4,700mAh battery that supports 80W fast charging.
To celebrate the holiday season, Signify formerly known as Philips Lighting, has unveiled the Philips Hue Festavia smart string lights. This is coming on the heels of the launch of the Philips Sensio U5 smart projector. The device includes 250 small smart LEDs strung along a 20 m (66 ft) wire.

Apple has officially claimed that the M1 and M2-powered Macs can only support one external display. However, the Mac Mini with M1 can support up to two external displays. Clearly, the external display support for the latest generation of Macs is kind of limited. Addressing the following problem, Plugable has launched its all-new USB-C or USB 3.0 to Quad HDMI Adapter. This new adapter claims to extend the external display support limitations on Macs.
Plugable has released its USB Type-C or USB 3.0 to Quad HDMI Adapter (USBD-768H4). The brand claims that it can support up to four external monitors via HDMI. Apple M1 and M2-powered Macs are also included in this. To use the adapter, your device should be running Windows 10 or macOS 11 and above. According to the claim made by the company, it can extend the number of support for the external display on Macs. Their claim goes above what Apple has officially revealed.
According to Plugable’s statement, the adapter can boost M1 and M2 monitor support because it does not rely on Alt Mode. Instead, the adapter makes use of a Silicon Motion chipset, which is well-known for producing NAND flash controllers for SSDs, as well as a software driver. So this is probably how the adapter is able to increase the number of external display support for Macs.
According to Silicon Motion’s InstantView website, “when a dock is connected every time, it will automatically enable the monitor to display the laptop screen without any user intervention.” Docks from Accell and Wavlink are two other products that employ InstantView. And don’t expect it to build a pixel paradise full of high-resolution screens. Each of the four monitors connected through HDMI is limited to 1920*1080 resolution at a refresh rate of 60 Hz. Even with all ports enabled, Mac users will be restricted to the number of pixels available on a single 4K panel.
A report online has claimed that more than two dozens laptops manufactured by Lenovo are vulnerable to malicious hacks that disable the UEFI secure boot process and then run unsigned UEFI apps or load bootloaders that permanently add a backdoor on the device. This is a serious security issue present on multiple Lenovo products right now.
Second, after a study from ESET’s research group revealed the flaws, the notebook manufacturer issued security upgrades for 25 models, including ThinkPads, Yoga Slims, and IdeaPads. Vulnerabilities that compromise UEFI secure boot can be dangerous because they allow attackers to install malicious software that survives numerous operating system reinstallations.
The vulnerabilities, identified as CVE-2022-3430, CVE-2022-3431, and CVE-2022-3432, “enable disabling UEFI Secure Boot or restoring factory default Secure Boot databases, all simply from an OS,” according to ESET. In particular, the DBX database maintains cryptographic hashes of refused keys. An attacker can eliminate constraints that would usually be in place by disabling or restoring default values in databases.
UEFI, which stands for Unified Extensible Firmware Interface, is the programme that connects a computer’s device firmware to its operating system. It is the first link in the security chain since it is the first piece of code to run when practically any modern machine is turned on. Infections are difficult to detect and remove since the UEFI is stored in a flash chip on the motherboard. Wiping the hard drive and reinstalling the operating system have no effect because the UEFI virus will simply reinfect the computer.
By tampering with variables in NVRAM, the non-volatile RAM that holds numerous boot choices, the vulnerabilities can be exploited. The flaws are the result of Lenovo releasing Notebooks with drivers that were only intended for usage during the production process. The following vulnerabilities have been identified:
CVE-2022-3430: A possible vulnerability in the WMI Setup driver on some consumer Lenovo Notebook devices could allow an attacker with elevated access to change secure boot settings by modifying an NVRAM variable.
CVE-2022-3431: A possible vulnerability in a driver used during the manufacturing process on select consumer Lenovo Notebook devices that was inadvertently left enabled may allow an attacker with elevated capabilities to change the secure boot option by modifying an NVRAM variable.
CVE-2022-3432: A possible vulnerability in a driver used during the manufacturing process on the Ideapad Y700-14ISK that was inadvertently left on may allow an attacker with elevated capabilities to modify secure boot settings by modifying an NVRAM variable.
Realme has been currently working on providing the Android 13-based Realme UI 3.0 update to its smartphone as early as possible. The Realme 9 Pro 5G, the brand’s budget-oriented smartphone, is now eligible for the open beta program of Android 13-based RealmeUI 3.0. The device was launched back in the month of February 2022 running Android 12 Realme UI 3.0 right out of the box. The brand has now officially started the open beta program for the device.
Interested users can apply for it, and after a quick verification, their device will get an OTA update of the Android 13-based Realme UI 3.0 update. Users of the Realme 9 Pro in India are eligible to apply for the Android 13 Open Beta program, which was announced earlier today by the firm. To be eligible for the program, users must have their Realme 9 Pro firmware updated to one of the following versions: RMX3471 11 A.42, RMX3471 11 A.43, RMX3471 11 A.44, or RMX3471 11 A.45.
To enrol yourself for the open beta program, head over to Settings >> Software Update >> Tap on the setting icon in the top right corner >> Trail version >> Fill up all the required details >> Tab on Submit. This is how you can apply for it, now the application will go to the brand for verification. If your application gets verified successfully, you will receive the update in a few hours.
The company has advised users to keep at least 5GB of internal storage free, or else the upgrade will fail. Additionally, Realme 9 Pro users must confirm that the battery level on their device is at least 60% before beginning the installation procedure. The device must not be rooted, and the brand recommends making a backup for added security.
Modern-day smartphones have started coming out with multiple camera lenses. A smartphone with a primary wide lens, ultrawide lens and telephoto zoom lens paired with good image processing is believed to be the most balanced device for cameras. There was a time when we used to get IR lenses on smartphones too. But now, FLIR has announced its new thermal camera, FLIR One Edge Pro. It has been launched as an upgrade to the existing FLIR One Edge.
The all-new FLIR One Edge Pro comes in an upgraded form factor. You can easily attach it to the rear panel of the smartphone. Also, there’s no need to connect the lens to your smartphone to get output. One can directly transfer the images taken from the lens to the smartphone wirelessly. It has also been claimed that the One Edge Pro has an upgraded battery life when compared with its predecessor. But we’re not sure how much exactly they have improved the battery life.
The thermal imaging sensor has a resolution of 160*120 and a frame rate that has not been improved over its predecessor. The frame rate on this one is still limited, and this is due to government restrictions; FLIR is not to blame. It also includes an MSX mode, which overlays image data from the visible camera to make thermal images simpler to read. There have also been some software enhancements.
Coming down to the price, the FLIR One Edge Pro has been priced at $550. That’s $100 more when compared with the $450 of the FLIR One Edge Pro. Well, you get the upgrades in the hardware too. The device will go on sale starting November 10th, 2022. It will be available to purchase from FLIR’s official website and Amazon. The shipping will start around the year-end.
iQOO is well-known for its flagship killer smartphones. However, despite being over 3 and a half years old, the brand has its presence in only two markets, namely China and India.
But now, the sub-brand of Vivo is finally gearing up to debut in a new market. The new region is Malaysia.
iQOO has set up Facebook and Instagram profiles for its Malaysian unit. The company is also teasing the launch of smartphones in the country.
GSMArena notes that the brand will enter the market this month, citing a reliable source. Unfortunately, the inaugural phones for the country are a mystery.
Going by the teasers, iQOO may release upper mid-range handsets like the iQOO number series. Because the company is teasing its BMW M Motorsport partnership. For the uninitiated, the brand is known for selling special edition iQOO number series phones as part of the aforementioned collaboration.
There’s a chance that iQOO may enter Malaysia with iQOO 9T (India), which is originally called iQOO 10 in China. We also cannot rule out the possibility of iQOO releasing a brand-new handset in the country as the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 announcement is set for next week.
Anyway, it’s better for us to wait for the company to officially reveal the launch date as well as the devices. In the meantime, let us know your guesses in the comment section below.

The main snapper is coupled with a 48-megapixel ultra-wide snapper and a 32-megapixel Sony IMX709 telephoto camera, which will offer 2x optical zoom. Both devices will also offer Hasselblad camera optimizations. It looks like the Find N2 will have the same 32-megapixel camera on the cover screen and the same 32-megapixel camera on the screen that folds out. Both of these cameras were present on the predecessor model.

While the Find N2 and OnePlus 11 will have the same rear cameras, they are likely to be powered by different chipsets. The Find N2 will arrive with the existing Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset. The OnePlus 11, on the other hand, is said to be equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, which is likely to debut next week.
The Chinese electronics manufacturer Chuwi, best known for its tablets and laptops, has launched a new mini-PC in its Corebox lineup, called the Chuwi CoreBox 4th gen, which looks much like a small Mac Pro. The computer’s chassis is built of aluminum-magnesium alloy and polycarbonate, and it has dimensions of 173 x 158 x 73mm (6.8′′ x 6.2′′ x 2.9′′).
It is powered by an Intel Core i3-1215U CPU, which has 6 cores and 8 threads and is designed for laptops (2 Performance cores with support for hyperthreading plus four single-threaded efficiency cores). It has integrated Intel UHD graphics with 64 execution units and the capability for speeds up to 1.1 GHz. Although it is only rated for 15 watts, Chuwi claims that the configuration of their tiny PC will allow the chip to use up to 35 watts.
Other features include a 512GB M.2 2280 PCIe SSD (replaceable), 16GB of dual-channel LPDDR5 memory (not user upgradeable), and space for an additional 2.5 inch SATA hard drive or SSD. The computer features four USB 3.0 Type-A connections, a Gigabit Ethernet jack, DisplayPort, and HDMI 2.0 ports, as well as 3.5mm mic and audio jacks. It also contains a single Thunderbolt 4 port that may be used for external graphics docks or other devices.
Utilizing the HDMI, DisplayPort, and USB Type-C connectors, you should be able to connect three 4K displays. A 65-watt power supply and a wireless card that supports WiFi 6 connectivity are included with the 4th generation Chuwi CoreBox.
The new Chuwi CoreBox 4th-generation small PC will be available later this month. It retails for $449, but those who pre-order it can save $50 and get one for $399.
