The overall design and looks of the smartphone will be very much similar when compared with the ZTE Yuanhang 40 Pro+.

Recent Issue With Chrome Saved Tab Is Finally Getting a Fix

One of the most widely used browsers out there is Google Chrome. It is also accessible on Windows, Android, and iOS. The majority of users still favor using Google Chrome as their main browser. Countless tabs are open at once for the millions and billions of Chrome users who use the browser globally. But keeping track of all those stored tabs might be a challenge. The Chromium development team has added a new saved tabs feature to cut down on this specific issue. It was a feature that made it simple to manage the saved tabs.

Later updates made saved tab groups visible in the bookmarks bar, making it simpler to locate them. Its serious shortcoming, however, hindered it from becoming as useful as it may have been. The saved tabs would all disappear whenever you updated or restarted the browser, which was a serious problem. And if the saved tabs are gone after an update or restart, offering this option really makes no sense. But thankfully, the developers have addressed the problem and found a workable solution.

Devs have introduced a new Sync bridge which allows the saved tabs to be saved in the local storage. Therefore, if Chrome gets restarted or updated, the saved tabs would be accessible even after that. A well-known Redditor who follows Chrome-related news found the commit. However, they draw attention to the fact that during a fresh browsing session, saved tab groups can not display in the exact same order as they were initially saved. Chrome devs are already working on a fix and anyway, something is better than nothing.

Though the Reddit user hypothesises that the Chromium team may decide to integrate it with versions 108 or 109, potentially making it accessible to a larger audience of users, the feature currently seems on track to be a part of version 110 of the browser. As a result of this change, more users will undoubtedly benefit from stored tab groups more quickly because tabs can now persist across many browser sessions.

Nov 14, 2022

After announcing that the 3-year-old Huawei Mate 30 will receive the latest HarmonyOS 3 stable update, a Huawei online consumer spokesperson has confirmed that the HarmonyOS 3 Public Beta Programme will be open for application for more Huawei devices starting this November.

As reported by ITHome, the spokesperson noted that HarmonyOS 3 Public Beta will be available for the 4th batch of Huawei devices starting this November. Owners of these 3 Huawei smartphones (Huawei Nova 8, Nova 8 Pro, Nova 8 Pro 4G) will be able to apply for HarmonyOS 3 Public Beta by the end of this November, whilst for the Huawei nova 8 SE and Huawei Nova 8 SE Vitality Edition, the HarmonyOS 3 Public Beta will be available starting early 2023.

Besides these 5 Huawei devices, Huawei also earlier announced last week that HarmonyOS 3 Stable had been rolled out to 15 Huawei device models this November. The full list is linked in this article here.

For those unfamiliar with Huawei’s HarmonyOS software development rollout, it can be easily explained in 3 easy to read paragraphs.

The HarmonyOS rollout is divided into 3 stages, a closed beta, a public beta, and a stable version rollout. In the closed beta version rollout, Huawei device users can opt-in for early access software development to try out the new features due to be added in the next major software update. Interested participants first need to go to settings and apply for the closed beta programme, and then once Huawei has approved the application, only then the closed beta update will roll out to the user’s device. Normally, only 2000 users will be selected for the closed beta programme.

For the next stage – the HarmonyOS public beta rollout, there is no limit to how many Huawei users can join the programme. Users can opt-in for the update via settings at any time. However, Huawei does suggest users who opt-in for the public beta back up their devices beforehand, as it is still not a stable release. Just like the closed beta, Huawei users can experience upcoming software features before the stable release and the main purpose of releasing a public beta first is to iron out any bugs and stability issues before rolling it out for all users.

In the final stage, HarmonyOS is rolled out to all Huawei device users with a stable version release. The update will include notable features found in the closed and public beta testing, as well as security updates, stability and bug fixes for all Huawei users over the air.

Xiaomi Bone Conduction Headset is now on sale in China

Nov 14, 2022

Xiaomi‘s latest Bone conduction headset has officially gone on sale. The product was initially launched last month but was only available to pre-order. The headset is priced at 699 yuan (~$99) and is now available to buy via Jingdong (JD.com).

As the name suggests, the headset uses bone conduction technology to transmit sound. Instead of using air, the technique transmits sound waves along your cheeks. It is the same approach used by sea mammals underwater, and it is thought to be the technique employed by German classical musician Ludwig Van Beethoven after he lost his hearing to produce music. Users can also hear the sound of their surroundings while listening to music using this technology, allowing them to pay attention to the environment at all times.

The vibrator inside the earphone has an unusual track-type design, which improves sound quality. A 360° closed directional sound chamber may also efficiently reduce sound leakage and safeguard privacy.

The new earphones have a Bluetooth 5.2 chip for rapid connectivity. Xiaomi claims the connectivity delay is as low as 86ms. As a result, customers will have a stable connection to the headset while exercising, with no disconnection.
The earphone also has a single battery life of up to 12 hours. It employs a Type-C interface, which is widespread in phone charging cables. Up to two hours of music playback can be obtained from a 5-minute charge.

The Xiaomi Bone Conduction headset also supports MIUI pop-up quick connection. When the gadget is close to the phone, it is instantly and rapidly paired. It also has IP66 dust and water resistance, which means it can survive wind, rain, and snow.

There is no word as to when it would be launched on the global turf but you can get it right now from Gizmochina’s online store Giztop.

Nov 14, 2022

Chinese tech company Realme recently confirmed that it would launch the Realme 10 series for its home market on November 17. In addition, to the 10 series, the company has now confirmed that it will launch new truly wireless earbuds. Teaser posters shared by the firm show that the new earbuds will be known as Realme Buds Air 3S.

While the specifications of the new truly wireless earbuds are not known at this time, the posters give us a clear look at the design. As can be seen from the official poster, the new earphones are designed with short stems giving them a smaller and lighter look. The design also includes ear wings that retain the buds to the ears firmly so that they won’t fall off easily.

In addition, the new product is equipped with a square charging box. The inside of the charging box has the slogan “DARE TO LEAP” inscribed. The inscription is Realme’s latest slogan which replaced the equally cool tagline “Proud To Be Young”. The Buds Air 3S is reportedly open for reservation in China. The pair will be available in two color options – Space white and carbon black.

The specs of the Buds Air 3S will likely not be too different from the Buds Air 3 Neo that was launched in July. The Buds Air 3 Neo comes with a built-in 10mm bass moving coil. It also comes with support for AI electronic noise cancellation as well as a 30% increase in physical wind noise resistance. The Buds Air 3 Neo has support for Bluetooth 5.2, has an ultra-low latency of 88ms, and has an IPX5 waterproof rating. It also has an affordable price tag of 129 yuan (~$18). We expect the Buds Air 3S to be priced around this region.

Recently, Qualcomm confirmed that the next-gen Samsung Galaxy S series smartphones will exclusively use Snapdragon chipset worldwide. But this doesn’t mean the South Korean conglomerate has stopped developing new mobile chips under its Exynos brand.

A new finding confirms the same. Samsung may soon announce two new Exynos chipsets.

Two new Samsung Exynos SoCs have been spotted on Bluetooth SIG. These chips are called Exynos 1380 and Exynos 1330.

As their name suggests, they are likely mid-range chipsets. The Exynos 1380 could be the successor of the Exynos 1280 found inside Galaxy A53, Galaxy A33, and Galaxy M33.

On the other hand, the Exynos 1330 could be the successor of either the Exynos 850 or the Exynos 880.

According to the listings on Bluetooth SIG, these two SoCs will carry support for Bluetooth 5.3. It will be possible via a separate RF chip called Samsung Bluetooth Controller v6.

SamMobile suggests that the Exynos 1380 could feature at least two ARM Cortex-A series high-performance CPU cores. It might also come with an ARM Mali-G615 CPU and an integrated 5G modem.

The Exynos 1380 is expected to power the upcoming Samsung Galaxy A54 and Galaxy A34. It might be also found inside other mid-range Galaxy M and Galaxy F series phones.

Nov 14, 2022

We have been hearing about OnePlus releasing a tablet since mid-2021. For the past one and a half years, there have been multiple leaks regarding this product.

The last when we heard about it was in July 2022. A tech influencer revealed that the device has been delayed and it may release in early 2023.

Four months later, a reliable source now reiterates the same.

According to tipster Max Jambor, OnePlus is developing a tablet. This product is scheduled to release next year. Unfortunately, this is all he has to say.

Previous reports revealed that OnePlus’ first tablet could go by OnePlus Pad. They also suggested that it could be a better version of the Oppo Pad.

But now, it seems that OnePlus may have abandoned that product. Else, the device should have been released by now.

Therefore, we believe that the OnePlus tablet that is tipped to launch in 2023 could be a new product. At present, it’s not known whether it will be a unique device or a rebadged version of Oppo’s current or upcoming tablet.

Whatever it turns out to be, we are looking forward to learning more about it in the coming weeks. If OnePlus is indeed planning for a release, the device should start leaking via certifications, firmware, and even renders.

Until then, do let us know what you want from a OnePlus-branded tablet in the comment section below.

Earlier today (14th November 2022), Douyin, which is basically TikTok in China, officially announced that it will be streaming the FIFA 22 World Cup for free. The company announced that it will offer the popular football World Cup live broadcast on its platform for free, but it will exclusively be available in China.

For those unaware, the FIFA 2022 World Cup is taking place in Qatar and Douyin managed to win the rights to stream the FIFA World Cup earlier this year. So now, Douyin will basically cover the entire 28-day event and offer free live broadcasts of all games at Ultra HD (4K) resolution quality on its popular short video-sharing platform. Simply searching for the “World Cup” will have Douyin users enter a special dedicated page that lets you watch the World Cup games.

Apart from just streaming the FIFA games, Douyin will also be offering a number of features to make the experience of watching the stream more interactive. This includes letting users invite friends to chat while watching the game. The app will offer this by making a live broadcast room. Keep in mind that this free 4K stream is exclusive to the China Douyin app. Meaning, it won’t be available on the Douyin app that is available globally. As of right now, this is all the information that is known regarding this matter, so stick around for more updates regarding a global availability.

Apple Supplier to Increase Workforce in India to Meet iPhone Demand: Report

Nov 14, 2022

Apple supplier Foxconn is apparently planning on raising its workforce in India. The supplier is making this move to help raise production, which in turn, would enable it to meet the high iPhone demand in the market.

The Cupertino based giant’s largest supplier is planning on quadrupling its workforce in India. Foxconn is apparently going to raise the number of workers for its iPhone factory by such a large amount in India over the course of the next two years, as per two government officials (Via TheHindu) close to the matter. Interestingly enough, this news arrives after the iPhone maker saw disruptions in its production in China due to local lockdowns.

For those unaware, Foxconn’s largest iPhone plant in Zhengzhou, China was closed down due to the Chinese government imposing a local lockdown due to the coronavirus outbreak. This caused operations to halt abruptly and also lowered Apple’s shipment expectations for its latest iPhone 14 series models in the fourth and final quarter of this year. So now, Foxconn is reportedly planning on boosting its workforce in its plant in South India to 70,000. In other words, it would have to bring in more than 53,000 new workers overt he next two years.

While the new hiring would mark a significant scale up in production in the Tamil Nadu plant in India, Foxconn’s Zhengzhou is still its largest iPhone plant that employees a whopping 200,000 workers. Meaning, we can expect this move from Foxconn to be a way to dampen the blow of its largest plant being closed down temporarily. It would also help it deal with any possible future lockdowns in the region by growing its workforce in India.

SpaceX has just placed a massive order for an advertisement package on Twitter. This ad campaign from Elon Musk’s aerospace based company will be run for the company’s Starlink, satellite internet connectivity based brand.

Interestingly, Elon Musk had also recently acquired the popular microblogging website for a 44 billion US Dollars deal. Now, the billionaire’s aerospace company is buying an ad campaign on Twitter in Spain and Australia. These large ad packages were bought to promote the company’s satellite based internet brand called Starlink. This ad campaign is apparently called “takeover” and will be promoted on Twitter in the two regions. According to a CNBC report, purchasing one of these advertisement packages will cost one a massive sum of 250,000 US Dollars or more.

Furthermore, it would also offer buyers the right to put their brand name on top of the main Twitter timeline for one whole day. This news arrives from one current and former Twitter employee that wished to stay anonymous. So now, Twitter users can expect to see the Starlink brand ad for the first three times that they open the application on the day or even on days of the planned takeover campaign. But this is still limited to just Australia and Spain.

For those unaware, Starlink is an internet service provider that offers connectivity through a constellation of satellites that beam internet down to paying subscribers. SpaceX developed Starlink with the aim of offering high speed internet connectivity to people in remote regions that suffer from poor internet due to a lack of cable or optic fiber infrastructure.

A new report had hinted at Apple working on an interesting new project. With Meta (parent company of Facebook) aggressively pushing its Metaverse out, it appears that the iPhone maker is also working on its own version of the Metaverse.

As of right now, many are still waiting for the Cupertino based giant to announce its highly anticipated AR/VR based headset, which will be the brand’s latest line of consumer electronic products. However, its launch is only rumored and the company has yet to reveal any launch timeline for this device. Although previous rumors have hinted at the mixed reality headset launching sometime in Spring 2023. But according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the company isn’t planning on stopping with a simple new hardware release.

The new report claims that Apple has already begun working on a whole “3D mixed reality world” and is currently in the process of hiring talents for this project. In other words, the brand is launching its own alternative to the metaverse to rival Meta in the mixed reality world category. Furthermore, Gurman based the news on Apple’s latest job listings. Apparently, the company is working on its own version of the Metaverse, which will be based on both virtual reality and augmented reality.

So it would appear that the upcoming AR/VR headset launch might be the brand’s first step into this endeavor. Interestingly enough, the search engine giant, Google, is also believed to be working on a mixed reality headset as well. Meaning that all three American tech giants are entering into the new mixed reality future, which Tim Cook hinted at being “the next big thing.”

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.
