Google has committed to improving its ChromeOS with constant updates in the last few months. The search giant has now dropped a new update called ChromeOS 107, which brings along a handful of new features.
The capability to save Desks is the most significant new element. Simply click the button on the Overview screen to “Save desk for later.” You can give it a name, view the creation date, and quickly inspect the icons.
It is now simpler to close open desks from the Overview menu, and if you accidentally close a desk and wish to undo it, a brief “Undo” prompt appears. A merge feature that enables you to combine opened Desks into a single one is apparently also being tested by Google.
The Recent view in the Files app has been redesigned, and a “documents” filter has been added. Furthermore, rather than being a simple list, the list below is organized by date. Finally, when you hold down on the virtual or real keyboard, a pop-up list with accented characters appears. If that fails, you may need to enable the flag in Chrome.

Samsung recently published a One UI 5 stable release schedule for eligible Galaxy smartphones and tablets through the Samsung Members app in its home market of South Korea. However, the company didn’t reveal the rollout timeline for its second fan edition smartphone— the Galaxy S21 FE.
Now, Android 13-based One UI 5.0 test builds for the Galaxy S21 FE have been spotted on the company’s servers, which suggests the firmware is currently being tested internally (via Samsung One UI Software Updates). It is reported that the stable update for the smartphone will be released sometime next month (November). But there’s no official confirmation about the same.
The flagship Galaxy S21 series received its fair share of One UI 5.0 beta updates but, for some reason, Galaxy S21 FE was not a part of the beta testing. Android 13 will be the first major OS upgrade for the smartphone because Samsung delayed its launch and shipped it with Android 12 out of the box. S21 Fe is eligible for four major upgrades in total.
If we talk about the update itself, One UI 5.0 brings several improvements and new features. It comes with some design improvements and brings minor enhancements to Material You’s wallpaper-based system color schemes and the ability to change app icon colors based on wallpapers. Palette. The update also introduces new app icons for the company’s native apps.
Further, the animations are said to be smoother but don’t expect any drastic changes. Users can now customize their lock screen and add more wallpapers. In addition, One UI 5.0 will let users set a different call background for each contact. The company also added new stacked widgets on the Home Screen.

The exact launch date of the Realme 10 series remains a mystery, however, multiple reports suggest that the smartphones may debut on November 9th globally and the first sale commencing November 11th.
The Realme 10 4G was spotted in leaked renders last week. It is expected to come in Clash White and Rush Black colours with a glossy sparkling gradient pattern.

As for the core specifications, rumours suggest that the Realme 10 4G will come with a 6.4-inch AMOLED display with a punch-hole cutout. It will offer an FHD+ resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate. Under the hood, the device is tipped to be equipped with an Helio G99 chipset paired with up to 8GB RAM and 128GB of storage. The smartphone will reportedly be backed by a 5,000mAh battery with 33W fast charging.
As per one tipster, the Realme 10 4G is said to be priced between $190-$210 (Rs 15,700- Rs 17,200).
OPPO could be working on its most powerful A-series phone for the Chinese market. Earlier this week, tipster Digital Chat Station claimed through a Weibo post that a new A-series OPPO phone would feature a punch-hole display with curved edges. The leak revealed that the phone will come with the highest megapixel count camera and the fastest wired charging solution ever seen on an A-series phone. In a new Weibo post, DCS seems to have leaked some more information about the same device. There is a possibility that the device will be released in China with the “OPPO A98” moniker.
The new information that the tipster shared suggests that the alleged OPPO A98’s dispaly will have a 120Hz refresh rate and a Full HD+ resolution. According to his previous Weibo post, the screen will offer up to 2160Hz PWM dimming. The handset will offer a high screen-to-body ratio as it will have a 3.3x mm chin.
OPPO A97
The Qualcomm chip with the part number SM7325 will power the alleged OPPO A98. Hence, it appears that the device will be powered by the Snapdragon 778G mobile platform. The leak has no information on the RAM and storage editions of the A98.
The device will come equipped with a 108-megapixel camera on the back. However, the leak does not mention anything about the auxiliary and selfie cameras on the device. It will pack a 5,000mAh battery that supports 67W fast charging.
DCS also said that OPPO will soon put out new mid-range phones on the Chinese and international markets. However, he did not share any information on their specifications. The Chinese manufacturer is expected to launch the Reno 9 series in November in China. In December, it is expected to announce the Find N2 and Find N Flip devices.
Last week, Realme phones with RMX3663 and RMX3687 model numbers were certified by China’s 3C and TENAA regulatory bodies. Later, another phone with the RMX3615 model number was in the databases of both platforms. Before, the TENAA listing for the RMX3615 only showed pictures, but now it has all of its specifications.
Realme RMX3615 specifications
The Realme RMX3615 has 164.4 x 75.1 x 8.1mm dimensions and weighs around 194 grams. It houses a 6.58-inch LCD panel that offers a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2408 pixels. The device packs a 5,000mAh battery, which is likely to carry support for 33W fast charging, as per its 3C certification.
Realme RMX3615 TENAA images
The device is powered by an octa-core processor that works at 2.2GHz, but there is no information on its exact name. The phone is expected to arrive with 6 GB, 8 GB, and 12 GB of RAM and will come in multiple storage options like 64 GB, 128 GB, and 256 GB of built-in storage.
On the front, the RMX3615 features an 8-megapixel selfie camera. The triple camera unit available on its back has a 50-megapixel main snapper, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a 2-megapixel depth assist lens.
The RMX3615 has a side-mounted fingerprint sensor. It is unclear whether the device will come preloaded with Android 12 or the latest Android 13 OS. At present, there is no information on the final marketing name of the RMX3615.
The RMX3663 model is expected to arrive with the Realme 10 5G moniker, while the RMX3687 is likely to be called the Realme 10 Pro or Pro+ 5G. While both phones sport a similar design, the RMX3615 has a different design language. Hence, it is unclear whether it belongs to the Realme 10 family or different series.
Compact flagships are not a common thing anymore, especially after Apple decided to ditch the mini variant of the iPhone in favor of the iPhone 14 Plus. But there are still several compact high-end phones out there. One of the latest is the Google Pixel 7 sporting amazing specifications and sold at a very interesting price, but with compact dimensions as well. It is time for everyone to understand whether or not the latest Pixel is the best compact flagship out there. And there is no better way to understand it than comparing it to the best compact device from the other brands. Here is a comparison between the main specifications of the Google Pixel 7 and the Xiaomi 12 which will help you to find it out.
I love the design of the Google Pixel 7 because it is very original. The phone sports a horizontal camera module and it is very rare to find a horizontal module on flagship phones. The module is made of recycled aluminum and the frame of the device is made of aluminum too, while the rear side is made of glass and protected by Gorilla Glass Victus just like the front glass. So, with this device, you get premium materials and great build quality. The handset is even waterproof and dustproof with the IP68 certification. The Xiaomi 12 is made of premium materials too, including glass for the back protected by Gorilla Glass 5, a front glass protected by Gorilla Glass Victus, and an aluminum frame. It is premium as well, but the Pixel is actually superior in terms of build quality.
Display
If we consider the specs on the paper, the Xiaomi 12 looks to have a superior display. It has an AMOLED panel able to show up to 68 billion colors with a diagonal of 6.28 inches, a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels, a 120 Hz refresh rate, Dolby Vision support, HDR10+ certification, and an in-display fingerprint scanner. With the Google Pixel 7, you get an AMOLED display with a diagonal of 6.3 inches, a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels, a 90 Hz refresh rate, HDR10+ certification, and an in-display fingerprint reader. Both phones feature stereo speakers for an improved audio experience, but they have no 3.5 mm audio jack.
Specs & Software
The hardware found on the Xiaomi 12 is more powerful than the hardware found on the Google Pixel 7, so if you choose it, you will actually get higher performance. The Xiaomi 12 is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 mobile platform built with a 4 nm production process and with an octa-core architecture composed of a Cortex X2 CPU running at a max frequency of 3 GHz, three Cortex A710 CPUs running at 2.5 GHz, four Cortex A510 CPUs running at 1.8 GHz, and an Adreno 730 GPU. The chipset is paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS 3.1 native storage. The Google Pixel 7 has an inferior Google Tensor G2 processor built at 5 nm, 8 GB of RAM, and up to 256 GB of UFS 3.1 native storage. On the other hand, it runs a more recent Android version out of the box (Android 13) and it will get faster software support.
Camera
If you are looking for the most advanced camera setup, you should go for the Google Pixel 7 as Google managed to obtain an amazing camera algorithm for stunning photo quality. The handset sports a 50 MP main camera with OIS, a 12 MP ultrawide sensor, and a 10.8 MP front camera able to record 4K videos at 60 fps. The Xiaomi 12 has a triple camera including a 50 MP main sensor, a 13 MP ultrawide shooter, a 5 MP telephoto macro camera, and a 32 MP selfie shooter.
The Xiaomi 12 is equipped with a bigger battery, but the difference is just marginal, so you should not notice big differences in terms of battery life. But the Xiaomi 12 charges a lot quicker thanks to 67W fast charging and 50W fast wireless charging.
Price
You can currently find the Xiaomi 12 with price tags under €650 or $650, which is the same price as the Google Pixel 7. Which one would you pick?
Xiaomi 13 series is in the works and may launch by the end of this year. While we wait for an official confirmation, an IMEI database listing confirms the existence of a new 13 series smartphone, dubbed Xiaomi 13 Lite. The handset is rumored to be a rebranded version of Xiaomi Civi 2, which debuted last month in China, equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 processor. Let’s look at the details.
As per a report by Pricebaba, Xiaomi 13 Lite has made its appearance on the IMEI database with the model number 2210129SG. The “G” at the end of the model number means that this device will be for the global market. Further, the report claims that Xiaomi 13 Lite will debut as a rebranded version of the Xiaomi Civi 2.
Interestingly, the smartphone’s model number is exactly the same as the rumored Xiaomi 12 Lite 5G NE. This means both of these devices could essentially be the same but aimed for different markets. Or maybe the company is still trying to figure out which name is better.
Xiaomi CIVI 2 Specifications
For the uninitiated, Xiaomi Civi is a female-centric smartphone series, which is exclusive to Mainland China. The latest Civi 2 comes with a 120Hz Curved AMOLED display that produces a Full HD+ resolution. The display has a pill-shaped cutout for the selfie cameras at the top center of the display.
It is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 processor paired with up to 12GB LPDDR4X RAM and up to 256GB UFS 2.2 storage. Its major highlight is its front camera system. The device has dual 32-megapixel sensors on the front. While on the back, there is a triple camera setup comprising a 50MP Sony IMX766 primary sensor, a 20MP Sony IMX376K ultra-wide sensor, and a 2MP macro unit.

Design
The best design in my opinion belongs to the Redmi Note 12 Pro, specifically in the pink color variant. But the vanilla version is actually thinner, so it is easier to use with one hand. All of these phones are not built with premium materials but they come with the good build quality and the IP53 certification making them dust resistant and splash resistant.
Display
The Pro and the Pro Plus variant are equipped with the same display, better than the one found on the vanilla version. it is an OLED panel able to show up to one billion colors with a diagonal of 6.67 inches, a 120 Hz refresh rate, Dolby Vision support, and HDR10+ certification. Unlike the vanilla version, they come with an in-display fingerprint reader and stereo speakers.
Specs & Software
The Redmi Note 12 has an entry-level Qualcomm chipset from the last generation: the Snapdragon 4 Gen 1. With the Pro and the Pro Plus variants, you get a high-end Dimensity 1080 mobile platform by Mediatek running at a max frequency of 2.6 GHz and paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of internal storage. All of the variants run Android 12 out of the box, customized with MIUI 13.
Camera
The best camera setup belongs to the Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus: it is equipped with a triple rear camera including a main 200 MP sensor with OIS, an 8 MP ultrawide shooter, and a 2 MP macro lens, while on the front, there is a 16 MP camera. The Redmi Note 12 Pro takes the silver medal with a 50 MP main sensor with OIS and the same secondary sensors, as well as the same front camera. The vanilla version has a disappointing 48 MP main camera paired with a 2 MP depth sensor.
All the variants of the Redmi Note 12 are equipped with the same battery capacity: 5000 mAh. Given that their components have more or less the same energy consumption, you should not expect big differences in terms of battery life. But there are important differences when it comes to the charging speeds: the Pro Plus variant supports 120W fast charging, the Pro one has 67W fast charging, and the vanilla version supports 33W fast charging.
Price
The vanilla Redmi Note 12 is available in the Chinese market with a starting price tag of €170 or $170 at the actual change, the Pro variant starts from €240 or $240, and the Pro Plus begins at €300 or $300. Which one would you pick?
