iQOO Neo 7 SE is in the works, and reports suggest it will debut alongside the iQOO 11 series in December. Ahead of any official announcement, a popular tipster has revealed the handset will be powered by an unannounced MediaTek Dimensity processor. Here are the details.
Tipster Digital Chat Station took to Weibo to reveal the upcoming iQOO Neo 7 SE will feature a MediaTek Dimensity 8200 SoC, which is yet to be formally announced by the chip maker (via GSMArena). The alleged chipset will have a CPU with one major Cortex-X2 core at 3.1 GHz. This is the same as MediaTek’s current flagship processor—Dimensity 9000.

Dimensity 8200 could provide powerful performance with a focus on efficiency. However, details about the processor are still pretty short and the company is yet to confirm any details. Rumors suggest the Dimensity 8200 may tag along with the Dimensity 9200 SoC on November 9.
Talking about the device itself, iQOO Neo 7 SE is expected to arrive in the Chinese market next month (December). It’s possible the device will be announced at the same event as the iQOO 11 series.
A recent report suggests the Neo 7 SE will come with an AMOLED display that will produce a Full HD+ resolution and offer a 120Hz refresh rate. It may feature a triple-rear camera setup consisting of a 50MP main camera that will support optical image stabilization (OIS). It could have an 8MP ultrawide camera and a 2MP macro unit. On the front, the phone may sport a 16MP shooter. It will be backed by a 5,000mAh battery that will support particularly extreme 120W fast charging.

Samsung has launched a new tablet for kids in the US. The tablet is dubbed Galaxy Tab A7 Lite Kids Edition and is now available for purchase in the US through AT&T.
The Galaxy Tab A7 Lite Kids Edition is based on the Galaxy Tab A7 Lite launched in 2021. Thus, it shares some features with the standard version. However, the new tablet comes with a few add-ons to make it kid-friendly. First off, the Galaxy Tab A7 Lite Kids Edition is fitted with a sturdy case with a thick cover around the screen to protect against bumps and drops. This ensures that it can withstand rough handling by kids. There’s also a 360-degree swivel stand, so kids can view the display hands-free from almost any angle. The swivel also acts as a handle to carry the tablet.
The slate packs an 8.7-inch display and is powered by a MediaTek Helio P22T chipset. The processor is backed by 3GB of RAM while there is 32GB of storage onboard the device. Under the hood, it crams a decent 5100mAh battery which can deliver extended usage.
On the software side, the slate comes with some software features to make it more kid-friendly. To this end, the tablet comes pre-installed with the Samsung Kids app. The app can help parents control how children use the tablet in different ways. This includes limiting the contacts, apps, and media the child can access and the amount of time they can use the tablet. The app also offers usage reports to track how kids are spending time on the device.
The Galaxy Tab A7 Lite Kids Edition costs $7/month at AT&T with a 36-month contract period and a total retail price of $250. Considering that the standard Galaxy Tab A7 Lite now retails for $109, the price of the children’s version is quite high. The new tablet will go on sale in the US on November 4th.
In 2020, Samsung introduced three generations of Android updates for its premium and select mid-range phones as well as tablets. For flagships, this policy covers the Galaxy S10 and Galaxy S20 series, while the Galaxy S21 series and onwards are eligible for four Android updates.
Hence, the Galaxy 10 Lite is entitled to three OS upgrades, just like the Galaxy S10, Galaxy S10 Plus, and Galaxy S10e. However, unlike the latter three, the former will receive the latest Android 13-based One UI 5.0 update.
The original Galaxy S10 family comprising the mainline three models debuted in early 2019 with Android 9.0 Pie onboard. On the other hand, the Galaxy S10 Lite was released in early 2020 with Android 10.
But all of them are qualified for three generations of Android updates. As a result, the inexpensive Galaxy S10 Lite will get access to Android 13 in the coming days.
In fact, Samsung has already started testing the firmware for the handset. It seems like there won’t be a public beta program for it.
According to update schedules shared by Samsung, the device will receive the stable update as early as December in regions like Germany and Malaysia. The update should be available in other markets in the following weeks.
The Galaxy S10 Lite was one of the best upper mi-range smartphones of its time. It has a 6.7-inch FHD+ Super AMOLED Plus display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 SoC, 48MP (wide, OIS) + 12MP (ultra-wide) + 5MP (macro) triple camera setup, 32MP selfie camera, 4,500mAh battery, 45W fast charging support, and more.
More than a decade ago, the first Nokia Lumia series smartphone had been announced with the Windows Phone operating system. Among the various models launched, the Lumia 920 stands out since it launched with features that were a first for the company and some that were a first even for the whole industry. So let’s have a look at the 920, which just recently turned a decade old.
First Lumia With PureView Camera & OIS
First, let’s start with all of the new features that Nokia introduced for its Lumia branding with the 920 model. It was the first smartphone from the Finnish brand to feature its iconic PureView cameras. It featured a lone 8.7 megapixel PureView sensor on the rear, which promised to take high quality pictures. And, the Nokia Lumia 920 had delivered on this claim. The PureView technology consisted of an on chip image processors that helped improve image quality.
This technology was further complimented with OIS (optical image stabilization). While this feature is almost standard now in higher end and mid range smartphones, the Lumia 920 was the first device to ever feature this camera technology in its camera. As you’d expect, this helped improve low light camera performance, still image quality, and even make video captures smoother as well, even if one’s hands weren’t steady.
First Phone With a True 60Hz Display
The Lumia 920 was also the first smartphone with a true 60Hz display. Nowadays, the higher refresh rate panel have become a lot more popular while the 60Hz screen is the bare minimum. But a decade ago, the 920 was the only model to deliver a dull 60 frames per second without any blurring. In other words, this feature was cutting edge advanced technology for smartphone display panels back then. Through this, users no longer faced any lags, pixelated videos, or ghost images that appeared as your screen moved.
It also featured an IPS type LCD panel. Interestingly enough, the device also featured the most sensitive touch display as well. The company called it super sensitive touch, which basically enabled the capacitive touchscreens to also function with gloves, nails, and certain pens as well. Despite these features, the display itself wasn’t more fragile and would still offer water resistance.
First Phone With Qi Wireless Charging Support
Another notable feature that the Nokia Lumia 920 shipped with is wireless charging support. This feature is almost always offered in higher end models in this day and age. However, the Lumia 920 was the only top end model to offer this technology back in 2012. The 920 was the first smartphone model that had an integrated wireless charging, while being made available for purchase all across the globe in multiple markets.
Additionally, it was compatible with the Qi wireless standard as well. In other words, the handset could be charged using a wide selection of Nokia wireless charging accessories as well as any other Qi certified wireless chargers. Back then, this feature was more of a gimmick since adoption of the technology was low. But it is now much more common, even in certain public areas. Many modern day smartphones also come with Qi wireless charging, so the device was clearly future proofed as well.
Other Notable Mentions
Apart from the aforementioned aspects, the Nokia Lumia offered other first time ever features as well. This includes a Pentaband LTE support. This allowed the device to use LTE bands, which offered data speeds that were up to 10 times faster than traditional 3G networks. Back then, 3G networking was also more common, so this phone definitely advanced the handset networking technology. Similarly, the device was also the first to feature Windows Phone 8 OS. This operating system was the second generation of the Windows Phone OS from Microsoft, bringing many enhancements from its predecessor, which saw it receive praises for the increased capabilities.
Details about the OPPO Find X6 series have already started surfacing on the web. The lineup is expected to comprise a regular and a Pro model.

As per DCS, the OPPO Find X6 will be powered by a 4,800mAh battery unit whereas the Find X6 Pro is tipped to be backed by a 5,000mAh cell. Their predecessor models also had the same battery capacties. There’s a possibility that the Find X6 duo may come with support for 60W fast charging. Apart from this new information, there is no additional details about the Find X6 series. We expect it to crop online in the coming months.
Past reports suggest that the OPPO Find X6 and X6 Pro will come with an OLED display bearing a resolution of 1.5K and 2K pixels. The regular variant may be powered by a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 while the Pro model is expected to be equipped with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset. It will pack up to 12GB RAM and 512GB storage.
Both the OPPO Find X6 and X6 Pro are rumoured to feature a 1-inch Sony IMX989 primary sensor. The main lens will support 4K HDR night video recording thanks to the MariSilicon X. The camera configuration on the Pro model is expected to consist three 50MP sensors comprising of main, ultra-wide, and telephoto lens. The regular variant will have a 32MP third snapper instead of 50MP.
The next-generation Find X6 series will arrive as the successor to the Find X5 that debuted earlier in February this year. Although the launch timeline remains unknown, we can expect it to debut in the first quarter of 2023.
Nokia 2780 Flip phone has been launched in the global market. It is the latest feature flip phone from HMD Global. The device is similar to the Nokia 2760 Flip that was announced earlier in March this year. Read on to know what the Nokia 2780 Flip offers out of the box.

Black Shark is apparently working on an interesting new product that will be made for people with disabilities. The company has just recently patented a VR based product (virtual reality) that is built to aid people with hearing impairment.
The Chinese smartphone maker’s patent was recently spotted by ITHome. Looking at the official patent description, the company is working on a new VR glasses type of device that houses its own mobile power supply and a display unit. Furthermore, the upcoming VR device is apparently capable of a very interesting feature. This gadget will have a dedicated module to read lip and lip language. In other words, it would be able to recognize lip movement and sent the relevant information to the VR device wearer.
The data would likely be transcribed in the form of audio or possibly displayed on the VR device’s display. Interestingly enough, we had covered a report earlier this year regarding Tencent acquiring Black Shark. The former was rumored to be making this move as it sought to step into the Metaverse. For those unaware, Black Shark has been a brand that has been in the gaming industry for sometime now and would’ve reportedly develop VR hardware for the metaverse. Meanwhile, Tencent would’ve been responsible for the software content on the company’s new VR product.
Keep in mind that this is still just a patent. This means that we have no idea if the brand is actually working on such a product or is simply covering all bases. But if it is true, then the company is clearly focusing on improving accessibility to more consumers across the market. This is all the information we have regarding this matter, so stick around for more updates.
BBK subsidiary Vivo has launched a new wireless neckband headset in China. The Vivo Wireless Sports Headset 2 utilizes a neckband design which is cool but what should stand out more is the 12 hours of music playback which the battery under the hood can support. The product is super-affordable as it starts at just 119 yuan ($16).
Since this is a relatively cheap product, not much should be expected of it in terms of the configuration but that isn’t the case. The neckband earphone is ultra-lightweight, weighing just 18 grams. It adopts the exclusive horn ear design, which can closely fit the ear firmly without discomfort. Since this is a sports earbud, it is essential that they fit the ears firmly.
The built-in 11.2mm moving coil unit is equipped with a polymer diaphragm. It also utilizes the Japanese Daikoku copper-clad aluminum voice coil that enhances the high-frequency sound output. The headset is also tuned by Vivo’s Golden Ear acoustic team to balance the three frequencies.
The wireless sports headset 2 uses a Bluetooth 5.0 chip, and the audio delay during games can be reduced to 80ms at least. A high-sensitivity microphone is designed at the in-line control position of the headset, which supports noise reduction for calls, making daily calls and game voices clearer.
As stated earlier, the earphones support up to 12 hours of music playback on a full charge. Even if you run out of battery, there is no cause for alarm as the earphones have a flash charging function. A 10-minute charge can deliver up to 3 hours of music playback which is awesome.
Furthermore, the new product adopts a magnetic suction design, which will enter a dormant state when the suction is removed. It also supports a one-key flash connection function meaning the headset can be quickly connected when it is close to the phone. In addition, the button can wake up the mobile phone voice assistant and quickly switch the paired device.
Back in May, Honor launched the Honor Play 30 in China. It is one of the most affordable 5G smartphones in the country priced at just ¥1,099 ($150).

Sony will also be limiting the orders to just one unit per ‘PSN ID per household.’ This is likely to avoid hoarders or scalpers or because of limited supply but a higher demand.
Furthermore, the company is apparently only letting pre-orders go out to regions where the PS VR2 headset can be sold directly. Meaning, only countries where the PlayStation Direct Store can deliver is eligible for the early buyers. If you are able to meet all these criterias, you can place pre-orders for the new headset on November 15. It will go for a price tag of 5499 US Dollars, which includes taxed.

Even if the size of smartphone screens has been increasing, there is still a market for people who prefer smaller smartphones. Some popular compact smartphones in the current generation are the Asus Zenfone 8 and the Samsung Galaxy S22, which sport 5.9-inch and 6.1-inch displays, respectively.
However, the Chinese company Unihertz, which is known to take the compact form factor to the extreme, has come up with a 3-inch display smartphone called the Jelly 2E.
The Jelly 2E is the successor of the Jelly 2, which launched back in 2020. The Jelly 2E takes its predecessor’s design and modifies it somewhat.

According to rumors, the Jelly 2E will cost US$170 upfront, before any discounts.
