The highest-end offering in the lineup will debut with a 2K display panel. It is also rumored to have a 50MP main camera sensor that is a modified version of the Sony IMX766 sensor. The series could also include an under-display fingerprint sensor as well as some impressive fast-charging technology.
Lastly, a recent report has hinted that Redmi might attempt to mimic the Apple iPhone 14 Pro Dynamic Island on the upcoming Redmi K60 series.

Apple recently unveiled the flagship iPhone 14 lineup of smartphones, and now the rumors about the next-generation iPhone SE, which will be the fourth version in the series, have started surfacing online.
In the latest development, Ross Young of Display Supply Chain Consultants (DSCC) has revealed what the upcoming iPhone SE model would feature in terms of display.
Apple iPhone X
According to Ross Young, the Apple iPhone SE 4 will come with a 6.1-inch LCD display and will have a notch on top of the screen. He says that he has revised his expectations from what he previously suggested.
Earlier, he indicated that the next-generation iPhone SE could come with a display between 5.7-inch and 6.1-inch and feature a punch-hole cutout on top of the screen for the front-facing camera sensors.
It is not yet known if the notch of the upcoming iPhone SE will contain TrueDepth camera array for Face ID feature similar to what other models in the lineup offer. There are some reports which indicate that Apple will stick with the Touch ID for SE model and not offer the Face ID feature.
There are also several reports which suggest that Apple is planning to add Touch ID Side button to the next-generation iPhone SE as there will not be much space on the front side of the device for a capacitive Touch ID Home button.
Since Apple has used design of the older iPhone models for the SE series phones, it appears that the iPhone SE 4 will be similar to the iPhone X in terms of design, which was launched around in five years ago.

Asus has launched the Vivobook 16X OLED and the Vivobook 17X OLED in the European market. The launch came after the Vivobook 16X OLED made its debut in select regions like India earlier this year.
The company has put a starting price of €799 on both models; however, currently, the cheapest Vivobook 16X OLED configuration is selling for €999. For this price, the laptop comes with an Intel i7-12700H, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD.

Nvidia was rumored to be working on a more powerful version of the GeForce RTX 4090 graphics card, which would’ve been the RTX 4090 Ti. Although, a new report claims that this model has been cancelled for now.
RTX 4090
The news arrives from a recent YouTube video from Moore’s Law Is Dead. He cited a reliable source close to the matter who told him about the new graphics card, which is apparently dubbed as RTX Titan Ada. With the launch of the RTX 3090, Nvidia had basically replaced the Titan series of cards with this generation to streamline its products. So, this implies that it might be an RTX 4090 Ti card or a new Titan series GPU.
The source claimed that the RTX Titan Ada has a 600W to 700W TDP. Furthermore, this GPU model relied on a full AD102 configuration that features a twin 16 pin power connector. Notably, the Titan Ada had a size that spanned a whopping four slots thick. This would make even the RTX 4090 look slim in comparison. But unfortunately, it appears that this model will still need longer time in development since the development units have allegedly been facing many issues.
This includes problems like tripping breakers, melted power supplies, and even melted themselves. As per the source, if Nvidia launched this Titan card, then it will likely launch with GDDR6 VRAM that will support up to 27 Gbps or possibly GDDR7 memory. Although, keep in mind that this is still just an unconfirmed report, so take this news with a pinch of salt for now and stick around for more updates.
As we get closer to a new year, smartphone brands are gearing up to launch their latest lineup of high end smartphones. Now, we have a new leak revealed some information regarding the premium Xiaomi 13 series.
The leak arrives from Weibo, which is a Chinese microblogging website (Via NoteBookCheck). In this online post, the blogger shared key details regarding the display of the Xiaomi 13 and the higher end Xiaomi 13 Pro. The Chinese tech giant’s CEO, Lei Jun, has already confirmed that the company will be launching a new Ultra model like the Mi 11 Ultra. But now, we have details regarding the base model and Pro model of its upcoming flagship smartphone models.
Reportedly, the Xiaomi 13 will sport a display that has a size of around 6.38 inches. If this is true, the upcoming base variant will sport a display that is slightly larger that the 6.28 inch panel found on the Xiaomi 12 model. Although, the larger display will still arrive with a Full HD+ resolution. On the other hand, the display size for the 13 Pro will apparently remain the same as the one found on the 12 Pro, which is a 6.73 inch panel, and even have a QHD+ resolution.
Keep in mind that this is still just an unconfirmed report, so take this report with a pinch of salt for now. Based on what we know so far, the Xiaomi 13 series will likely launch soon after the announcement of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC. The smartphone OEM typically one of the first to adopt the chipmaker’s latest high end chipsets, so it won’t be a surprise if this is the case this time as well. Furthermore, the company is also partnering up with Leica for the cameras of its next premium grade smartphones.
Back in September 2022, Amazfit had launched its latest smartwatch models, the GTR 4 and GTS 4. Now, the company has just announced that the two wearable products will support the Adidas Running app.
The smart wearable maker typically offered sports and health tracking features paired with an in house UI from its Zepp Health brand and application. However, the latest announcement implies that it is bringing in support for third party platforms as well on its Zepp OS. This would definitely be an upgrade since it would let Amazfit branded smartwatch users to link their Zepp app to other accounts such as Strava, Relive, Amazon Alexa and Google Fit.
With this update, the user’s gadgets would be able to ‘share’ workout and other physical activity related data with third party apps. This might even work the other way around as well. Notably, the company announced that the feature will be made available to most newer smartwatches from the brand, including the T-Rex 2 model. Apart from this, the Adidas Running app is one of these supported apps that will be able to sync with the GTR 4 and GTS 4.
This new feature will require the 7.1.0 version or higher of the Zepp app. So now, users can expect to see the Adidas Running app in the Add Accounts menu under the Profile tab. Furthermore, linking the third party app with the Zepp app would let users complete work out related tasks and even claim them on both their Amazfit watches and even from their Adidas official community site as well.
Apple had just recently announced the iPhone 14 series. And now, a new report has revealed some interesting details regarding its production, which is apparently 20 percent more expensive than its predecessor.
iPhone 14 Plus
The news arrives from a Nikkei Asia report that claims that the new iPhone 14 models cost 20 percent higher to make than the last gen iPhone 13 lineup. Furthermore, this report also offered detailed breakdown regarding the production costs of individual models as well. For example, the top end iPhone 14 Pro Max costs around 501 US Dollars in terms of production. This is higher than the 461 US Dollar production price tag of the iPhone 13 Pro Max.
Reportedly, the primary reason for this price hike is the new A16 Bionic chipset, which alone costs 110 US Dollars. Nikkei stated that the production prices for the Pro Max iPhone models typically sat between 400 to 450 US Dollars since the introduction of this model back in 2018. In other words, the Cupertino based giant is seeing higher production expense despite not raising the prices over the previous generation. This basically means that it is willing to take a hit in profits.
iPhone 14 Pro & Pro Max
As per the report, the new A16 Bionic chipset costs 2.4 times more than the previous year’s A15 chip. Furthermore, the inclusion of the new Sony CMOS sensors also further hike the prices. These new sensors are around 30 percent larger in size than last year’s sensors, and are also around 50 percent more expensive as well, with a production bill of 15 US Dollars. Interestingly, a third of the Apple iPhone 14 lineup is sourced from US based companies, with the components also seeing an overall hike of around 10 percent as well.

And the recent one reveals details about its battery and charging specifications.
The latest specifications leak arrives from a known Chinese tipster Panda, with the new information revealing details regarding the iQOO Neo 7’s battery and charging (via). He claims the device will come equipped with a 5,000mAh battery and support 120W fast charging. The charging is no surprise since the device’s 3C listing has already confirmed the same.

Neo 7’s 120W fast charging is a significant upgrade over its predecessor, which came with 80W charging support. Just like the Neo 6, the upcoming handset will likely not support wireless charging.
As per a recent leak, the iQOO Neo 7 will be powered by MediaTek Dimensity 9000+ SoC. On the front, it is said to feature a 6.78-inch AMOLED display that will offer a Full HD+ resolution and 120Hz high refresh rate.
In terms of optics, the device is rumored to be equipped with a triple camera setup on the back consisting of a new 50-megapixel primary camera, which is reportedly a Sony IMX766V image sensor. The same sensor is also found on the iQOO 8 Pro. The device is also expected to have a 13-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens and a 12-megapixel portrait telephoto unit.
iQOO is yet to confirm any details about the upcoming smartphone. We hope to learn more about it in the coming days.
