Almost a year after Motorola launched the Moto Watch 100, the brand is rumored to be working on its successor, called the Moto Watch 200. Earlier this month, the smartwatch was spotted on the FCC database, revealing its design and box image.

It is clear from these images that the smartwatch will feature a rectangular display, unlike its predecessor, which comes with a circular dial. Now, popular tipster SnoopyTech has tweeted out marketing images of the Moto Watch 200, which reveal a circular display.
Although it is in conflict with the FCC revealing a square dial, it is possible that Motorola is working on two designs for the smartwatch. This won’t be an uncommon practice, as we have seen brands like Amazfit and OnePlus (Nord Watch) do it before.

The FCC ID (MOSWZ200) of its squarer sibling is included alongside the brand name “Moto Watch 200” on the back of the circular smartwatch. In addition to a heart rate sensor and interchangeable watch bands, the round model allegedly offers proprietary wireless charging. The image also reveals the smartwatch hooked to a wired charger, which could or could not be a USB Type-C.
In a similar vein, the FCC’s leak stated that the Moto Watch 200 would debut with an aluminum case as well, as well as Bluetooth LE and GPS capabilities. Unsurprisingly, the smartwatch will also be water-resistant up to 5 ATM. Although a debut date has not yet been revealed, official marketing materials suggest that Motorola is very close to releasing the product. The Moto Watch 200’s FCC certification indicates that the smartwatch will also be released in North America.

Huawei is quietly announced a new tablet named the MatePad SE 10.4 in the global market. While the company has confirmed the specifications of the device, its price and availability are yet to be confirmed. The tablet features a large display, a Snapdragon 6-series chipset, HarmonyOS, and a big battery. Continue reading ahead to learn about its specifications.
Huawei MatePad SE 10.4 specifications and features

Huawei MatePad SE 10.4
The tablet packs a 5,100mAh battery that supports 10W charging. On the front, it has a 2-megapixel rear camera and it is fitted with a 5-megapixel camera on the back.
The MatePad SE 10.4 comes in Wi-Fi only as well as LTE variants. It will be available in Graphite Black color option only. Lastly, the tablet measures 246.94 x 156.7 x 7.85mm and weighs around 440 grams.
Google’s latest Pixel 7 Pro laid claim to the number one spot on DxOMark’s best camera list only recently, sharing it with the Honor Magic4 Ultimate. However, both of these devices have now been dethroned by the Huawei Mate 50 Pro, which has finally made its global debut.
The Mate 50 Pro has scored 149 points in DxOMark’s smartphone camera test thanks to its new triple camera system of 50MP + 64MP + 13MP shooters enhanced with features such as OIS, 3.5x optical zoom, and variable aperture technology. The Pixel 7 Pro and the Honor Magic4 Ultimate are currently sharing the second spot with 147 points each.
According to DxOMark, 50 Pro has subjectively “pleasant” color reproduction (in good lighting), “pleasant” bokeh, “good” detail even at high magnification, as well as efficient auto-focus and “well-controlled” video in terms of panning. The camera is also praised for having a wide dynamic range in both photo and video modes.
The test also revealed that the Mate 50 Pro had some white balance flaws, and in some circumstances, its new XMAGE AI processing was a bit slower in capturing the scene. These minor differences, however, were insufficient to prevent the Mate 50 Pro from receiving a final total score of 149.
The top-class camera performance certainly adds value to the Mate 50 Pro, which lacks both 5G and Google Play Services. However, it still might not justify the €1,199 price tag, which is considerably higher than both the Pixel 7 Pro and the Honor Magic4 Ultimate.
Notably, you can also get the device via stores like AliExpress for around the same price tag.

Finally, even Redmi has a tablet. Just like all of its phones, it is an affordable tablet, and this is its biggest advantage. It brings a powerful chipset and a big battery to the market at a very affordable price. But Redmi is not the only sub-brand that brought a tablet to the market: its direct rival is Realme, which came up with the Realme Pad. Another very affordable tablet that was released more than a year before, but still very actual. A lot of people are actually wondering whether they should go for the amazing street prices of the Realme tablet or they should get something launched more recently such as the Redmi one. Here is a comparison between the main specifications of the Redmi Pad and the Realme Pad which will help you to find it out.
The most beautiful tablet of the duo is the Realme Pad. First of all, it is entirely built with a premium material as it comes with an aluminum frame and aluminum back. It is very thin and even pretty lightweight. Further, it does not have a big camera module but just a single camera placed directly on the rear cover, so it provides a very minimalistic look. Last but not least, it is more compact because it packs a smaller display and a smaller battery. The Redmi Pad is built with a plastic back and an aluminum frame, it is bigger and chunkier than its rival. Further, it has a big camera module, not the best for design lovers. Both tablets come with a pretty high screen to body ratio, the bezels around the displays are very narrow and the screen covers more than 80 percent of the front panel.
Display
Are you looking for the most advanced display overall? If so, you should opt for the Redmi Pad without thinking twice. First of all, with a diagonal of 10.61 inches, it has a wider display than its opponent. Further, it is able to show up to one billion colors with a Full HD+ resolution of 1200 x 2000 pixels; last but not least, it has a 90 Hz refresh rate, great for gaming and for those who want a smoother viewing experience. The Realme Pad has a 10.4-inch panel with a 10.4-inch diagonal showing the images with a Full HD+ resolution of 1200 x 2000 pixels. Unfortunately, both handsets feature IPS LCD panels, so do not expect those deep blacks and brilliant colors you can get with OLED displays. But they both come with four stereo speakers, so the audio experience is good.
Specs & Software
The most powerful hardware setup belongs to the Redmi Pad. It is powered by the new MediaTek Helio G99 chipset built with a 6 nm production process and with 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 GPU. Alongside the chipset, there are up to 6 GB of RAM and up to 128 GB of UFS 2.2 native storage. With the Realme Pad, you get an inferior MediaTek Helio G80 mobile platform paired with up to 6 GB of RAM and up to 128 GB of native storage. Besides having a better hardware, the Redmi Pad ships with Android 12 out of the box, while the Realme Pad is still based on Android 11.
Camera
There are no big differences between these two tablets when it comes to the cameras, as their sensors are the same. They come with an 8 MP rear camera and an 8 MP ultrawide front camera sporting a FOV of 105 degrees. The photo quality is more or less the same and they are able to record videos with a 1080p resolution at 30 fps.
The Redmi Pad is equipped with a big battery and it is able to provide a longer battery life with every usage. Given its bigger dimensions, it was easier for Xiaomi to include a bigger battery. The Realme Pad has a smaller battery but it supports reverse charging allowing you to use it as a power bank.
Price
The starting price of the Redmi Pad in the Chinese market roughly translates into €250 or $250 at the actual change, while you can easily find the Realme Pad for less than €160 or $160. The Redmi tablet wins the comparison, but its price is way higher.

Similar to how the vanilla Redmi Note 12 model cleared up the clutter at the back with just two cameras, the Redmi Note 12 Pro too follows suit with a simple arrangement of its triple camera setup. In contrast, the Redmi Note 11 Pro featured a complex array of sensors at the back in its rectangular camera module. There’s no doubt that the new design looks a lot better and refined than its predecessor.
In terms of dimensions, the Redmi Note 12 Pro is thinner at 7.9mm vs 8.3 mm on the Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G model. The new model also reduces the weight to 187 grams. Notably, the Note 12 is both smaller and narrower, making it more compact than its predecessor.
Both the models are IP53 certified, so they are dust and splash resistant. The Redmi Note 12 Pro comes in Black, Blue White, and a special Violet color option while the Redmi Note 11 Pro came in Mysterious Black, Forest Green, Timeless Purple, and Milky Way Blue color options.
Display
The Redmi Note 12 Pro model features with a 6.67-inch OLED panel featuring 2400 x 1080p resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and 900 nits HBM brightness. In comparison, the older model comes with a same sized 6.67-inch AMOLED panel featuring 2400 x 1080p resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. Surprisingly, the older model has a brighter display panel at 1200 nits when compared to the new Note 12 Pro.
However, note that the Redmi Note 12 Pro supports HDR10+ certification.
Specs & Software
The Redmi Note 12 Pro comes with the relatively powerful MediaTek Dimensity 1080 processor clocked at 2.6GHz. In comparison, the Redmi Note 11 Pro came with the the Dimensity 920 processor clocked at 2.5GHz. Both these chips support 5G networks and should offer pretty good performance for its price segment.
Both the models offer start at 6GB RAM and 128GB of ROM and but only the new Redmi Note 12 Pro offers up to 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. The older Redmi Note 11 Pro maxes out at 8GB RAM.
The Redmi Note 12 Pro comes with Android 12 out of the box with MIUI 13. In comparison, the Redmi Note 11 Pro features Android 11 based MIUI 12.5 on top.
Camera
Redmi has given up the high resolution 108MP sensor on the new Redmi Note 12 Pro model. So it comes with a smaller 50MP primary camera with f/1.9 aperture along with the same two secondary sensors, 8MP f/1.9 ultra wide shooter, and a 2MP macro shooter found on its predecessor. To be fair, the downgrade from the 108MP sensor on the Redmi Note 11 Pro might not result in any major difference in the camera quality.
On the front, Redmi has not given any upgrades to the new model. So both the phones feature the same 16MP shooter for selfies and video calls.
Like the camera department, there are some slight changes in the battery department too on the new model. The Redmi Note 12 Pro comes with a 5000mAh battery with 67W fast charging support. This battery capacity is slightly lower than the 5160mAh capacity found on the Note 11 Pro model. Notably, the charging speed remains the same as the older model.
Price
The Redmi Note 12 Pro model is available in the Chinese market with an official starting price tag of around €240 or $240, but internationally it will sold at a higher price tag. In comparison, the Redmi Note 11 Pro is available for around $240 on global retailers like Giztop.
Considering the price difference, which one would you pick?
The iQOO Neo 7 finally went on sale in China today, and the rumors about the speed edition of the smartphone have already started to pick up. A popular Indian tipster has shared some key specifications of the alleged iQOO Neo 7 SE and revealed that it will carry the same specs as the Neo 7 5G, except for the processor. Here are the details.
According to tipster Paras Guglani, iQOO Neo 7 SE will come with an AMOLED display offering a 120Hz refresh rate. The handset will be powered by a Snapdragon 8 series processor paired with 8GB/ 12GB RAM. It is currently unknown which processor will be packed inside this smartphone. Our best guess is Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1.
Further, the Neo 7 SE is tipped to feature a 5000mAh battery and support particularly extreme 120W fast charging. For reference, the Neo 6 SE came with a 4700mAh battery and 80W fast charging support. The handset is also said to sport a 50MP main camera with support for optical image stabilization (OIS) on the back. It will likely have a triple camera setup on the back.
Guglani says the only difference between the iQOO Neo 7 SE and Neo 7 5G will be the processor. The Neo 7 comes with a MediaTek 9000+ SoC. In addition, it is expected that the Neo 7 SE will debut in India as the Neo 7 5G.
Details about the Neo 7 SE are still pretty short. iQOO is yet to confirm any details about the alleged handset. We should learn more details about it in the coming days. Stick around for the updates.

There are indications that Apple could review downwards its production targets due to COVID-19 curbs affecting its China operations. Sources point to a possible decline of up to 30% at one of the world’s biggest factories in Zhengzhou next month. The impact of the slump is however being mitigated by Foxconn in boosting production at another facility in Shenzhen.
The Foxconn Zhengzhou plant has over 200,000 workers but has endured some stringent measures aimed at curbing the spread of COVID-19. This led to several workers fleeing the site a few days back. This comes at a time when demand for electronics is traditionally on an upward swing. Foxconn in an official statement on October 30, said it was bringing the situation under control. It also says it will coordinate backup production with other plants to reduce any potentially damaging impact.
As of this moment, Apple has not made any official statement on the issue. Foxconn is Apple’s biggest iPhone vendor and its share price declined by 1.4% at the close on Monday. Foxconn accounts for up to 70% of global iPhone shipments annually. Foxconn’s iPhone production accounts for up to 45% of the overall revenue of the Taiwanese manufacturer. Foxconn has production facilities in India but the Zhengzhou plant is its largest.
Although production continues in the plant, it is under strict COVID-19 protocols put in place to quell any major outbreak. The measures in place in the factory include full-scale lockdowns. Even when factories in such areas are allowed to be open, they must operate under a closed-loop system that prevents workers from their regular work routines, as they must live in the facility. The company also banned dining inside canteens as workers were expected to eat in their dormitories. These heavy measures resulted in some workers allegedly fleeing from the facility.
