MediaTek is said to debut the successor of the Dimensity 9000+ SoC called the Dimensity 9200 in November. The chipset will be MediaTek’s flagship, meant to go toe to toe with the upcoming Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.
Previous reports state that the chipset will be based on TSMC’s 4nm process node and will likely use the same Cortex-A710 and Cortex-A510 cores as before. Ahead of the launch, an AnTuTu benchmark of an undisclosed smartphone running the Dimensity 9200 has emerged giving us a look at its performance.
MediaTek Dimensity 9200 AnTuTu score
Popular Weibo tipster DCS has shared a screenshot of a device running the Dimensity 9200 chipset. The chipset has managed a score of 1,266,102, which is quite impressive. It surpasses the performance of all the current-gen smartphones on the AnTuTu leader board, also beating out the ROG Phone 6D Ultimate, which has coveted the performance crown ever since its launch. For those unaware, the ROG Phone 6D Ultimate houses a Dimensity 9000+ chipset.
AnTuTu top-10 Android smartphone rankings November 2022
Taking a closer look at the performance numbers, the Dimensity 9200 outperforms the Dimensity 9000+ clad ROG Phone 6D Ultimate by around 12,000 points in the GPU test, however, the CPU test doesn’t show any improvements. Comparing to the best Snapdragon counterpart on the list, namely the ROG Phone 6 Pro which features the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset, the Dimensity 9200 edges it out in the CPU benchmark and convincingly beats it in the GPU test.
The image also reveals that the Dimensity 9200 chipset is rather cool as the temps hit a maximum 37-degree celsius during the benchmark. However, it is currently unclear as to what kind of cooling solution was used for this device. So, we will hold out judgment till independent testing is conducted.

Several reports have claimed that the Vivo X90 series will be made official in December this year. Key details of the Vivo X90 Pro and X90 Pro+ have surfaced in recent reports. Now, a new leak courtesy of popular tipster Digital Chat Station (via. TechGoing) has surfaced to reveal what to expect from the vanilla Vivo X90.
According to the tipster, the Vivo X90 will feature a 1.5K resolution display. Like the predecessor model, it should be an AMOLED panel with an under-display fingerprint scanner.
Vivo X80
MediaTek is likely to announce the Dimensity 9200 chipset next month (November). The tipster has claimed that the X90 will feature the Dimensity 9200. The SoC will debut as a successor to the Dimensity 9000 that powered the X80 and X80 Pro’s Dimensity variant.
DCS also revealed that the Vivo X90 will support 120W fast charging. The tipster had claimed last month that the device would pack a 4,700mAh dual-cell battery. It is also speculated to come equipped with a Sony IMX8-series main camera. He further revealed that, as compared to the X80, the X90 will offer better dust and water resistance. However, the device will not have an IP68 certification.
Rumors surrounding the X90 series have revealed that the Vivo X90 and X90 Pro+ will both feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset. Both smartphones are also tipped to arrive with a 1-inch main camera sensor. The X90 may feature a 4,870mAh battery with 100W charging, while the X90 Pro+ may house a 5,000mAh battery. The Pro+ is expected to arrive with a Samsung AMOLED E6 display, LPDDR5x RAM, and UFS 4.0 storage.
Redmi is reportedly working on the Redmi K60 series of smartphones. Recent reports have leaked a lot of information about the Redmi K60 handset. Now, the publication Xiaomiuihas shared the key details of the Redmi K60 Gaming. The device will come out as the replacement for the Redmi K50 Gaming, which had a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset.
A new Xiaomi device with model number 23011310C has appeared in the IMEI database. The publication says that the device will be called the Redmi K60 Gaming when it comes out in China. Hence, it will be a gaming-focused smartphone.
Redmi K50 Gaming
The report states that the codename of the Redmi K60 Gaming is “Socrates.” It reveals that the device is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, which is expected to go official in November this year. Unfortunately, the publication has not revealed any information on the specifications of the Redmi K60 Gaming. It seems that Chinese tipster Digital Chat Station has claimed that it carries support for 100W charging.
The Redmi K50 Gaming remained exclusive to the Chinese market. However, its rebranded version named the POCO F4 GT was released in the global market.
The publication claims that the Redmi K60 Gaming will remain exclusive to the Chinese market. It can be deduced from the model number of the device that it may break cover in Q1 2023. The global and Indian versions of the device haven’t shown up in the IMEI database, so it’s not clear if they exist or not. However, we believe that there could be a POCO F5 GT model for the global market, which might arrive as a rebranded version of the K60 Gaming.
In October 2021, Redmi announced the Redmi Note 11 series in China. On Oct. 27, the company will take off covers from the Redmi Note 12 series. Ahead of the launch, Redmi has been confirming the key features of the Note 12 lineup. In addition, some Chinese tipsters have tipped the key specs of the series.
Rumors have it that the Redmi Note 12 lineup will include three models, such as the Redmi Note 12 Pro, Note 12 Pro+, and Note 12 Explorer Version. Here is a look at all the information that has surfaced so far about the Redmi Note 12 lineup.

Redmi Note 12 series design
The Redmi Note 12 series will look quite similar to the Redmi Note 11T lineup, which debuted in May this year. It is speculated that the lineup will be equipped with a flat OLED display and a rectangle-shaped camera module on the back.
The camera module is almost identical to the Note 11T. The only noticeable difference is that the Note 11T has a vertical LED flash unit, while Note 12 has a horizontal one. The lineup seems to be fitted with a side-mounted fingerprint sensor.
Redmi Note 12 Pro specifications
Redmi Note 12 Pro
It will come with a 5,000mAh battery and 67W fast charging. The main camera on the back of the phone will be a 50-megapixel Sony IMX766 with optical image stabilization (OIS).

A few days ago Vivo’s sub-brand announced the new flagship killer iQOO Neo7. It is one of the most impressive phones launched this year if we consider its hardware department and battery, a perfect device for gamers and even the first from this brand to run the latest Android version out of the box. Its amazing value for money is the reason why we are actually comparing it to a lot of flagship killers out there, especially the ones equipped with the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset, for obvious reasons. Today, it is the turn of another very interesting flagship killer: the OnePlus 10T. Note that this device is a rebranded version of the OnePlus Ace Pro and it has exactly the same specifications. It is also placed in the same price range as the new iQOO device. Here is a comparison between the main specifications of the iQOO Neo7 and the OnePlus 10T or Ace Pro.

Design
The iQOO Neo 7 and the OnePlus 10T come with a good design. They are not built with the most premium materials, but they come with a high screen to body ratio and punch hole displays. On the rear side, they got big camera modules, not the best if you need a minimalistic phone, but they are not ugly devices. I personally prefer the OnePlus 10T because it has a glass back and a glass front protected by Corning’s Gorilla Glass 5, but it is mainly a matter of taste. These phones are very similar in terms of thickness and weight, the OnePlus is slightly more compact, but nothing very relevant. While the iQOO has volume buttons and the power key placed both on the right side, the 10T has a power key placed on the right side and volume buttons placed on the left.
Display
The displays of these two phones come with very similar specifications, there is nothing special to mention in terms of differences, so we will just list their specifications. The iQOO Neo7 has an AMOLED panel able to show up to one billion colors with a diagonal of 6.78 inches, a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels, a 120 Hz refresh rate, and HDR10+ certification, as well as an in-display fingerprint reader. The OnePlus 10T has an AMOLED display with one billion colors, a diagonal of 6.7 inches, a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels, a 120 Hz refresh rate, HDR10+ certification, and an in-display fingerprint reader. The very important difference is in the audio, as the OnePlus is the only one packing stereo speakers, so its audio is definitely more powerful.
Specs & Software
The OnePlus 10T wins the hardware comparison, even though by a slight margin. It is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9000+ mobile platform built with a 4 nm production process and sporting an octa-core architecture composed of a Cortex X2 CPU running at a max frequency of 3.2 GHz, three Cortex A710 CPUs running at 2.85 GHz, and four Cortex A510 CPUs running at 1.8 GHz, as well as a Mali G710 MC10 GPU. Alongside this SoC, there are up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 512 GB of native storage. The OnePlus 10T has a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 mobile platform built with a 4 nm production process and with an octa-core architecture including a Cortex X2 CPU with a max frequency of 3.19 GHz, three Cortex A710 CPUs running at 2.75 GHz, four Cortex A510 CPUs running at 1.8 GHz, and an Adreno 730 GPU. While the two processors have similar performance, the OnePlus 10T has higher multi-tasking capabilities thanks to the presence of 16 GB of RAM, but it only reaches 256 GB of native storage. However, the RAM is the component accounting for better performance. On the other hand, the iQOO Neo7 runs Android 13 out of the box, while the OnePlus 10T has Android 12.
Camera
If we consider the cameras, it is essentially a draw because these handsets have exactly the same camera department.
The battery is bigger on the iQOO Neo7, which is able to provide longer battery life in several scenarios. On the other hand, the OnePlus 10T charges quicker thanks to 150W fast charging against just 120W.
Price
The iQOO Neo7 starts from about €380 or $380, while the OnePlus 10T begins at $599 or €600. Which one would you pick?

Smartphone shipments are declining globally, and things are not any better in India. Based on the latest Canalys report, a total of 44.6 million unitswere shipped in India during Q3 (July-September) 2023. This represents a decline of 6% compared to the 36.4 million smartphones shipped in Q2.
Xiaomi retained its lead in the market with 9.2 million units shipped, securing a 21% market share. The brand gained traction from July’s online sales ahead of the festival season. However, Xiaomi’s shipments are down from Q3 2021, when it managed to ship 11.2 million devices and had 24% of the market share.
Samsung came second with 8.1 million shipments and witnessed strong momentum in the mid-high-end category thanks to aggressive offers and promotions. The company offered attractive discounts on its older generation Galaxy Z Fold3 and the latest Galaxy S22 series. Vivo and OPPO moved up to the third and fourth place, shipping 7.3 million and 7.1 million units respectively, while Realme dropped to fifth, shipping 6.2 million units.
The shipments of all brands in the top 5 except OPPO dropped significantly. OPPO went from 6.2 million units sold in Q3 2021 to 7.1 million units sold in Q3 2022.
“Early Monsoon and Independence Day online sales were great opportunities for vendors to clear inventory before heading into the festive season,” said Canalys Analyst Sanyam Chaurasia. “The good news is that, as the festival season began, in the last few weeks of the quarter, consumer demand improved. Hit by inflation, entry-level device contribution declined this year, while the mid-to-high segment performed relatively well thanks to aggressive promotions. OPPO’s OnePlus and Vivo’s iQOO were the two brands driving mid-range growth in the e-commerce channel during this period. “Ultra-premium category smartphones, especially older generation flagships, also experienced strong demand momentum amid price cuts.”
Back in September, Realme gave GT 2 and GT Neo 3 users a chance to enroll for Realme UI 3.0 based on Android 13 early access. Now, it is Realme GT Neo 3T and 9i 5G users’ turn to get the taste of the Android 13-based software.
According to the official community post, Realme GT Neo 3T and the 9i 5G smartphone are now eligible for the new Realme UI 3.0 early access update. Users of these two smartphones can now enroll themselves to experience the new features of the latest software.
However, the early software is different from the stable build that will be released later. It might be buggy, and some apps may not work properly. Also, it is not recommended to install the Early Access software on your daily driver.
Realme has already started taking applications for the program. Do note that the applications will be accepted in batches, and only limited seats are available.
In order to receive the update, make sure your device is running the latest UI version. The required version for GT Neo 3T is RMX3371_11.A.05 & RMX3371_11.A.07 and for Realme 9i 5G its RMX3612_11.A.09 / RMX3612_11.A.10 / RMX3612_11.A.11.
To apply for the update, head to Settings > Software Update > Settings icon at the top right corner > Trial Version > Apply Now. Now submit your details and finish the quiz, and you’re good to go. You’ll receive the update via OTA if your application gets approved.
Before installing the update, back up your data to prevent any loss. In addition, update all your applications to the latest version available on the Play Store and ensure that the available storage on the phone is more than 10 GB.
Motorola’s leaked roadmap revealed the company is planning to launch a slew of smartphones next year. Details about some of those phones have already started to appear online. Now, a new report is here with some specs and renders of an upcoming stylus-equipped Motorola Edge model.
Evan Blass, in collaboration with 91mobiles, has shared the basic specs and good-looking renders of a stylus-equipped Motorola smartphone, codenamed Geneva. The smartphone has model number XT2315 will reportedly be part of the firm’s Edge series.
According to Blass, Geneva will arrive in both 5G-capable and 4G-only variants. It will likely not be a premium device since Motorola’s flagships are only offered in 5G SKUs. Further, the smartphone is said to launch exclusively in the US market sometime next year.
The report suggests Motorola Geneva will debut as a successor to the G Stylus (2022) and G Stylus 5G (2022) handsets that were introduced earlier this year. It is reported to pack up to 6GB RAM and 256GB storage. It will likely be a mid-range smartphone and will be offered in Black Beauty and Crystal Grey colors.
Further, a render of the device reveals its design and appearance. It can be seen to have a dual camera setup, and Motorola logo on the back, and a center-punched hole in the front. The render also showcases a basic stylus that should reside in a silo inside the phone.
The marketing name and other specifications of Motorola Geneva are yet to be known. The exact launch date of the smartphone’s 4G or 5G versions is not yet known. We should learn more about it in the coming days.

Last year’s Realme 9 Pro Plus was quite a popular device at launch in many markets and is still regarded as one of the best smartphones currently available in the lower-midrange segment. There are many reasons for its popularity, including the fascinating color-changing back design and the premium 6.43-inch AMOLED display with FHD+ resolution.
Realme 9 Pro+
However, one could say that its standout feature is the camera system that comprises of the Sony IMX766 sensor with optical image stabilization. Hardware-wise, the camera is top notch as this same sensor is used in more expensive and even premium midrange devices. However, the software leaves much to be desired.
To satisfy this desire for better camera software and picture quality, we have found the best GCam Apk for the Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus.
For those who are unaware, Google Camera (GCam) is a camera app created for the Android operating system by Google. It was initially supported on all Android 4.4 and later devices, but as time went on, it was made exclusive for Google Pixel devices. In spite of the exclusivity, community developers still create unofficial ports of GCam for other smartphones.
GCam adds a slew of outstanding capabilities to phones, and its post-processing algorithms significantly improve the images. The images clicked using GCam are usually much cleaner than the stock camera and they also have greater details. It also has multiple modes for specific scenarios like Astrophotography, Night Sight, Panorama, Motion Photos, Lens Blur, etc. Additionally, users can also load config files to maximize the functionality of the GCam APK and configure the camera to their preferences and needs.
Download GCam for Realme 9 Pro Plus
You can download the MGC 8.4.600, which is among the most stable version of the GCam out there for the Realme 9 Pro Plus. Many users have tested this version of the GCam and confirmed that it generates better photographs in both well-lit and low-light conditions than the stock app.
It is worth pointing out that according to the users, both of these GCam mods work best without the need for any config file. However, users can feel free to try out config files and see what works for them.
Steps to Install GCam & LMC onRealme 9 Pro Plus
It is quite easy to install an external APK on Realme 9 Pro Plus. Just follow the steps below:
Download the apk file from the above link.
Open the APK, and it will ask for permission to install apps from external or Unknown Sources.
Enable either by simply tapping on the pop-up and proceeding with the instruction, or you can go to Settings > Security/Privacy > Enable Installation from Unkown Sources.
You can now simply launch the installer package or APK file again.
Wait for the process to complete, and you’re ready to use it.
Disclaimer: GCam viewfinder lag is a known issue that occurs on MediaTek processors. Since the Realme 9 Pro Plus houses the MediaTek Dimensity 920 processor, this lag could happen on your device.
