Users interested in trying out the Realme UI 3.0 open beta build need to make sure that their Realme 9 Pro+ is running the firmware version RMX3392_11.A.12, RMX3392_11.A.13, or RMX3392_11.A.14. Once you have made sure that you are on the required version, you can navigate to Settings > Software Update menu and tap on the Settings icon in the top-right corner. After that, click on Trial version > Open Beta > Apply Now and submit the required details. You will receive the beta update if your application is approved.

Common Issues

After the upgrade, it may take longer to boot for the first time, especially if there are many third-party applications on your phone.

Nov 14, 2022

We have another fresh leak regarding the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. The smartphone in question is set to be the company’s next gen top premium S23 series model and now we have leaked sample shots that showcase its photographic capabilities.

The news arrives from known tipster Ice Universe who shared the new sample camera shots on Weibo (a Chinese microblogging website). Looking at the initial social media post, we can see that the tipster has shared three images of a zoomed in shot of a pumpkin without any other details being revealed. He also asked Weibo users to vote on which picture is the best, out of the three, with the S23 Ultra taking the win. Ice Universe later revealed that the camera samples were taken from the S23 Ultra, S22 Ultra, and the Pixel 7 Pro.

In other words, this was one of our first looks at camera samples from the Galaxy S23 Ultra as well as an early comparison with Google’s current flagship, the Pixel 7 Pro. Taking a closer look at the images, it is clear the upcoming S23 Ultra model retains the best details and offers the most vibrant shot. Meanwhile, last year’s Galaxy S22 Ultra also offers an image with almost the same level of quality. Lastly, the Pixel 7 Pro’s camera sample retained a fair amount of details but lacked overall vibrancy.

Earlier reports have revealed that the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra will feature a 200 megapixel primary camera that will reportedly be paired with a folded 10 megapixel 10x periscopic zoom sensor, a 12 megapixel ultra wide angle lens, and another 10 megapixel telephoto sensor on the back. So stick around for more, as we will be covering new leaks and rumors that will likely surface ahead of the Galaxy S23 series launch.

Huawei Denies Rumors of Its P60 Series Featuring Kirin Chips in 2023

Nov 14, 2022

Huawei has recently officially denied that it will be bringing back its proprietary HiSilicon Kirin series of chipsets for its next gen flagship P60 lineup of smartphones. So here are all the details.

For those unaware, the Chinese tech giant lost access to all US based technology after the US government put it on the trade blacklist, or the Entity List. A year after this, the company was also cut off from its primary chip supplier TSMC. This meant that it could no longer place orders for its proprietary chipset technology for its HiSilicon fabless semiconductor subsidiary. But since then, it shifted to using Qualcomm chipsets like the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoCs, however, these only supported 4G networking and were not 5G enabled.

But recently, rumors surfaced that the brand might be planning on bringing its Kiring chips back in 2023, for its flagship Huawei P60 series. The news arrives from a statement that the company shared on its official Weibo account (a Chinese microblogging website). Here, the brand denies rumors of releasing a new Kirin chipset powered smartphone next year. THe original rumor surfaced earlier this year and claimed that the new P60 models will feature Kirin processors, which were reportedly based on the 14nm process.

Furthermore, it was rumored that China’s largest foundry, SMIC, will be the one manufacturing the chips. In other words, we can expect the flagship P60 series of smartphone to possibly be powered by high end Qualcomm chipsets like the supposed Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC. Keep in mind that this is still unconfirmed at the moment, so take this news with a pinch of salt.

Samsung Reportedly Plans To Reduce Its Smartphone Shipments By 13%

By

Nov 14, 2022

Samsung, the world’s leading smartphone maker for years, has not been able to sell as many smartphone units as it had planned because of several reasons, including the supply-chain issue caused by COVID-19 and the dull economic outlook in several countries.

As global smartphone shipments have declined, affecting almost all companies, the South Korean giant Samsung isn’t immune. A new report from Taiwan Economic Daily (via ITHome) claims that the company plans on reducing its smartphone shipments next year.

As per the report, Samsung is planning to reduce its smartphone shipments in the year 2023 by 13 percent, which roughly turns out to be 30 million units. This is mainly because of the decline in the smartphone market, because of which the company isn’t able to sell as many smartphones as it had planned, and the market continues to see weaker demand.

While Samsung was able to increase its market share in terms of shipments for the third quarter of this year (Q3 2022) compared to the previous quarter (Q2 2022), the company saw an overall decline of around eight percent when compared year-on-year.

It isn’t just Samsung that is bearish on the market situation. Some smartphone component suppliers, including Japan-based Murata and Taiwan-based Yageo, Tongxin Electic, and Duntai, among others, also share similar sentiments.

Murata, a leader in passive component MLCC (Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors), which provides electronic modules and components for Apple iPhone, Samsung smartphones, and others, has warned that smartphone demand in Greater China will not show signs of recovery and it will continue to see the decline next year.

Tongxin Electric, a mobile phone sensor component supplier, has said that it may need more than two to three quarters to destock. The company estimates that in the second quarter of next year or at the end of the third quarter, the related business of the company will rebound.

In addition to the stable release rollout announcement, Huawei also shared that it has opened applications for its public beta programme for HarmonyOS 3.0 to Huawei MatePad 10.8-inch, Huawei MatePad Pro 10.8-inch and Huawei MatePad Pro 5G 10.8-inch users, as well as an early access closed beta programme for Huawei Nova 6, Nova 6 5G, Nova 7 5G, and Nova 7 Pro 5G users for Huawei fans who cannot wait to experience the latest HarmonyOS 3 features before a stable release.

The new HarmonyOS 3 upgrade brings several next-generation software updates that range from decently cool to life-changing. One particular highlight is that in HarmonyOS 3, HarmonyOS devices don’t need to be on a shared Wi-Fi network for seamless interconnectivity to work, the devices can now sense each other. One example is a Huawei tablet next to a Huawei phone will be able to let you answer calls and will display SMS messages as if they were the same device.

With its vast portfolio of AIoT products, Noise has claimed the number one position in the Indian smartwatch market and the number 2 position in the TWS earbuds market. Recently, the company launched a new pair of innovative earbuds called Noise IntelliBuds, which feature smart gesture controls, allowing users to control the earbuds with just the movement of their head.

The brand has now unveiled a new pair of TWS earbuds called the Noise Air Buds 2. These earbuds are the successor of the Noise Air Buds TWS earphones which launched back in November 2020.

Like its predecessor, the Air Buds 2 features a semi-in-ear design reminiscent of the classic AirPods design. The case of the earbuds has a translucent lid. The earbuds are said to provide clear highs and deep bass using their 13mm dynamic drivers. For seamless connectivity, the earbuds have Bluetooth 5.3 onboard, which will likely offer the wake and pair feature. There is also ENC (environmental noise cancellation) onboard for a clear calling experience.

The company claims that the Air Buds 2 can provide up to 40 hours of audio playback. Of course, this number is a combination of the earbuds and the charging case. The individual playback capacity of the earbuds is yet to be disclosed. The charging details on the other hand have already been revealed. The Noise Air Buds 2 features a USB Type-C connector. It features the Instacharge technology which provides 4 hours of playtime with just 10 minutes of charging. There is also IPX4-level water resistance which makes these earbuds safe to wear during sweaty workout sessions. Lastly, these are quite lightweight at just 3.5 grams each.
