The Finnish smartwatch manufacturer Suunto has announced a new smartwatch in the market called the Suunto 9 Peak Pro. The smartwatch comes with a 43 mm case that is also 10.8 mm thick and weighs 64 g.
Suunto 9 Peak Pro specs
The wearable comes with a 1.2-inch sapphire crystal display with 240 x 240-pixel resolution. The outer casing of the watch is made up of Titanium Grade 5. According to the company, the Suunto 9 Peak Pro houses a “more powerful chipset architecture that boosts the performance to a new level while having the best in class battery life compared to similar-sized products on the market”.
With three battery modes—Performance, Endurance, and Tour—the Suunto 9 Peak Pro offers the longest battery life of any Suunto watch to date. The battery lasts for 21 days when used regularly, 40 hours in performance mode, 70 hours in endurance mode, and 300 hours in tour mode before needing to be recharged. It also features a pretty fast charging speed, as the watch can be filled up to 100% in an hour or up to 10 hours of training time in just 10 minutes.
The watch is mainly made for outdoor activities and so it packs support for Beidou, Galileo, Glonass, and GPS satellite systems and can connect to 32 satellites simultaneously for precise location accuracy. The watch is also waterproof up to 100 meters, meaning you can easily dive in deep waters with the wearable on your wrist.
Suunto ships the smartwatch with its latest revised UI on board that brings 97 sports modes to choose from. There is also a dedicated snorkeling mode for diving. Health features include blood oxygen monitoring, heart rate monitoring, 24/7 activity tracking, Sleep tracking, and stress and recovery status.
Suunto offers the 9 Peak Pro in six variants at launch, starting at €499 ($549 in the US) with a stainless steel bezel. Alternatively, the Suunto 9 Peak Pro with a titanium bezel costs €629 in Europe and $699 in the US. Suunto’s website has more information on all variants.
Earlier this year, Asus had unveiled the new Zenbook 17 Fold OLED during the CES 2022 event. Now, the company is officially launching this device in the Indian market, so let’s have a look at this unique foldable laptop.
For those unaware, the Zenbook 17 Fold OLED is the world’s first 17.3 inch foldable OLED Intel Evo certified laptop. Thanks to its foldable panel, there are multiple modes and ways to bring out the full functionality of this device.

MSI recently launched a couple of new products like the MAG META S PC featuring a Ryzen 5 5600X and an NVIDIA GTX 1660 Super. The brand has also unveiled a new curved 32-inch monitor in the market called the MSI G322C, which is tailor-made for gamers.
MSI G322C curved monitor specs
The monitor comes with a 32-inch VA panel. VA panels are typically found in lower-midrange gaming monitors as they carry a low response time like a TN panel and provide a wide viewing angle similar to an IPS panel.

It can output a peak brightness of 250 nits and deliver a 3,000:1 contrast ratio.
The display should cover 89%, 92.3%, and 116.4%, respectively, of the AdobeRGB, DCI-P3, and sRGB color spaces, according to MSI. Additionally, the MSI G322C works between 48-165 Hz on its HDMI 2.0b connections and 48-170 Hz on its DisplayPort 1.2a ports while also supporting AMD FreeSync Premium. The monitor has one DisplayPort 1.2a, two HDMI 2.0b ports, and a 3.5 mm audio out port. Unfortunately, there is no USB hub of any kind on the MSI G322C.
Additionally, MSI has included its CEC profile system, which enables you to make profiles for various groups of devices that the monitor can recognize automatically. The display has a frameless design on three sides. A 100 x 100 mm VESA interface and a detachable stand with tilt and height adjustment are separate features added by MSI.
The company is yet to reveal the pricing of this monitor, so stay tuned for more updates.
Last month, Huawei announced its new Mate 50-series smartphone named Huawei Mate 50E in a lineup that already has the Mate 50, Mate 50 Pro, and Mate 50 RS Porsche Design flagship smartphones.

Apple recently released the latest iOS 16 operating system for the iPhones, which comes with a major redesign along with new features and functionalities. Breaking its tradition this time, the company didn’t release iPadOS 16 along with iOS.
Now, the company is gearing up to release the new iPadOS for iPad users. According to the report from Mark Gurman of Bloomberg, Apple is all set to release a new iPadOS 16.1 update for all the eligible models in the coming days.
If the rumors are to be believed, then the iPadOS 16.1 will be released on 24th October, and yes, it will be iPadOS 16.1 and not 16 as the company has already confirmed that it will skip version 16 and will directly roll out the 16.1 version.
Do note that Apple has not yet confirmed the launch date for the new version of iPadOS, but Mark Gurman is usually right when it comes to news and developments of Apple. The company had said that it would be released in October but hadn’t provided a specific date.
The new update will be compatible with all the iPad Pro models, the third-generation iPad Air and later, the fifth-generation iPad Mini and later, as well as the fifth-generation of Apple iPad and later.
There are also reports indicating that the Cupertino-based technology giant is planning to announce new hardware products later this month, which will include a new M2-powered iPad Pro model, a new entry-level iPad, and new Apple MacBook Pro models powered by the yet unannounced M2 Pro and M2 Max processors but the date for this launch event has not been announced by Apple.
Motorola has been aggressively launching new phones in India. So far, the Lenovo-owned brand has launched the Moto G72 and the Moto E32 smartphones in India. A new leak courtesy of Mukul Sharma (aka. Stufflistings) reveals that the Moto E22s will be the next phone for the Indian market.
According to Sharma, the Moto E22s will make its debut in India on Oct. 17. The below image and key specifications shared by the tipster reveal that the Moto E22s heading to India will be the same device that was announced in the global market in August.
Moto E22s image by Mukul Sharma
The tipster revealed that the Moto E22s will have an IPS LCD panel that offers a 90Hz refresh rate. It will come preloaded with the Android 12 OS and feature a side-facing fingerprint scanner. It will be a device with an IP52 rating that has two cameras and an LED flash on the back.

Motorola announced the Moto Edge X30 as the world’s first Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 phone in December 2021 in China. The Edge branding was later dropped for the Chinese market. The X30 was rebranded as the Motorola Edge 30 Pro in the global market in January this year. There is a possibility that the company may release a new flagship phone in China by the end of this year. This seems possible as an alleged X-series flagship phone has bagged approval from the 3C authority of China.
A new Motorola phone with an XT2301-5 model number has appeared in the database of the 3C regulatory body. The listing reveals that it is a 5G phone, which may ship with a 68W charger. It seems that it could be the next X-series flagship phone, which may debut by December this year as a successor to the Moto Edge X30. So, it looks like the XT2301-5 might be sold in China under the name Moto X40 or something similar.
The leaked roadmap of upcoming Motorola phones revealed that the company’s upcoming flagship phones for the global market are codenamed Bronco and Canyon. These devices are speculated to be released in the global market as the Motorola Edge 40 and the Edge 40 Pro.
The Moto X40 heading to the Chinese market may get rebranded as the Edge 40 Pro in the global market. The alleged Moto X40 / Edge 40 Pro is expected to arrive with a 165Hz FHD+ OLED display, Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, 8 GB / 12 GB of RAM, a 60-megapixel front-facing camera, and a 50-megapixel (main) + 50-megapixel (ultrawide + macro) + 12-megapixel (telephoto) triple camera unit.
It is best to take the report with a grain of salt and wait for more news to find out what the final marketing name of the Motorola XT2301 really is.
The popular laptop and PC components manufacturer MSI has launched the fifth generation of its MAG META S PC called the MAG META S 5th.
The PC is targeted toward gamers looking for a budget-mid-range gaming machine. It comes with a stylish case that features an RGB strip on the front and has two slits on the front panel, likely for air intake.
The company is only selling this PC with an AMD CPU option as it comes with the Ryzen 5 5600X processor paired with an A520 motherboard. The Ryzen 5000 series chipset means that the PC will offer support for DDR4 RAM, rather than the latest DDR5 RAM supported on the Ryzen 7000 series.
MSI MAG META S
1 of 2
Handling the graphics department will be an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Super GPU that offers 6 GB of GDDR6 VRAM, has 1,408 shader units, a 92-bit memory bus at 14 Gbps, and a TDP rating of 125W. The config will run most modern games on high framerates with the resolution set to 1080p. E-sports titles like CS: GO, Valorent, and Rainbow 6 Siege will be able to deliver excellent performance since this processor is actually a bit of an overkill for this GPU, and thus does not create a bottleneck.
Additionally, MSI includes one M.2 2280 slot, as well as 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch drive bays. Moreover, the machine offers multiple ports including three Audio jacks, one DVI-D output, one HDMI 1.4, two PS/2, an RJ45 port, two USB 2.0 Type-A ports, and four USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports. The machine has an adequate 500W power supply and relies on air cooling for thermal management.
MAG META S 5th Pricing
Pricing is not verified by MSI on its website. Currys, meanwhile, is charging £999 for the desktop in the UK, including VAT and shipping.
During the Samsung Developer Conference 2022, Samsung officially introduced One UI 5.0, which is based on the Android 13 OS. The South Korean tech giant has confirmed that the S22 series will be treated with the new OS upgrade this month (October).
So far, the company has rolled out four beta editions of the One UI 5.0 for the Galaxy S22 lineup in some markets. While it is unclear whether the fourth beta update will be the final one, it is certain that the S22 users will get the stable update by the end of this month.
It goes without saying that the Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22+, and Galaxy S22 Ultra will be the first Samsung phones to get the One UI 5.0-based Android 13 OS upgrade. The release timeline may vary according to the region.
One UI 5.0
Some of the new features that will arrive on the One UI 5 include the Bixby Text Call, which can answer phone calls by typing a message. Bixby will be able to convert text to audio and share it to the caller. It will also show what the caller is saying by converting their voice to text.

The POCO M4 Pro is a well-rounded smartphone in the budget mid-range as it offers many attractive features like a 6.43-inch AMOLED screen with a 90Hz refresh rate, a respectable MediaTek Helio G96 chipset with 4G connectivity and a 5,000mAh battery with 33W fast charging support.
Its cameras are also quite capable hardware-wise, as the phone sports a 64-megapixel OmniVision OV64b40 primary sensor, paired with an 8-megapixel Sony IMX355, a 2-megapixel macro camera, and a 16-megapixel Sony IMX471 front camera. However, many users feel that the device is lacking on the camera software front.
To solve this issue, we have found the best GCam Apk for the POCO M4 Pro.
Budget-range devices don’t usually get the software polish and optimization for their camera apps from the manufacturers. This is where Android-based operating systems truly shine, as the developer community picks up the slack and offers more optimized solutions.
GCam has many advantages over the stock camera, such as HDR+ and HDR+ Enhanced capabilities to provide more details and high-quality images. Other features include Astrophotography, Night Sight, Panorama, Motion Photos, Lens Blur, etc. Additionally, users can load several configuration files to maximize the functionality of the GCam APK and tune the camera according to their tastes and needs.
Download GCam for POCO M4 Pro
You can download the GCam v8.1.101 from BSG, as it is the most stable GCam port for the POCO M4 Pro. Many users have tested this version of the GCam and confirmed that it produces better images than the stock app in both well-lit-up and low-light environments.
Make sure that you are downloading the MGC_8.1.101_A9_GV1zfix_MGC.apk, which is the second link on the list.
Additionally, users can customize their GCam image output by using various config (XML) files that provide specific tuning to the app. Some popular config files for GCam v8.1.101 are:-
There is another GCam port called LMC which specializes in human shots and comes with a whole host of additional features like a Leica preset, Pro mode, and more.
Make sure that you are downloading the LMC8.4_R13_Fix2.apk, which is the first link on the list. For the best human shots, you will need to load this config file.
Steps to Install GCam & LMC onPOCO M4 Pro
It is quite easy to install an external APK on POCO M4 Pro. 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.
Steps to Load Config Files in GCam
Navigate to the internal storage of your device and create a folder called GCam.
Make sure that this folder is on the same level as DCIM, Downloads folders.
Create a folder inside the GCam folder called Configs8.
Move the downloaded XML files into the Configs8 folder.
Open the GCam App and double-tap the area around the shutter button.
Select the config file and tap on “restore”.
If you are using an operating system based on Android 12 and above, you will need to allow GCam to Access All Files. (App permissions->Files and media-> Allow management of all files).
Steps to Load Config Files in LMC
Open the LMC App and double-tap the area around the shutter button.
Select the config file and tap on “restore”.
If you are using an operating system based on Android 12 and above, you will need to allow GCam to Access All Files. (App permissions ->Files and media -> Allow management of all files).
Disclaimer: GCam viewfinder lag is a known issue that occurs on MediaTek processors. Since the POCO M4 Pro houses the MediaTek Helio G96 processor, this lag could happen on your device.
It is no secret that Xiaomi is working on its next generation of flagship smartphones called the Xiaomi 13 series. The 13 Pro model has already been subject to many leaks and has also been spotted on the 3C certification website.
Now, a new leak shared by Cool APK has revealed the back panel of the vanilla Xiaomi 13. The image looks genuine, however, that does not prove that this is indeed a retail model of the Xiaomi 13.
Alleged Xiaomi 13
Taking the look at the design, it is evident that the device is heavily inspired by the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra’s design language. The device features three cameras on the back along with a flash module. This drastic change in design makes it harder to believe that this is the upcoming Xiaomi 13. Xiaomi is said to launch the Redmi K60 series before the launch of the Xiaomi 13 series, so we won’t rule out the possibility that this could be a K60 series smartphone.
The camera island also has the word ‘LASER’ etched on it, which could device has laser autofocus. Unfortunately, this is the extent of information revealed by the image. Previous reports have revealed that the Xiaomi 13 will feature a 6.38-inch display, which is slightly bigger than the one on the Xiaomi 12. The resolution, however, will remain Full HD+.
The Pro model on the other hand is said to feature a 6.73-inch QHD+ panel with a 120Hz refresh rate. Under the hood, the device is expected to house the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, which will draw power from a 5,000mAh battery capable of 120W wired fast charging and 50W wireless charging.
OnePlus announced the OnePlus Nord N200 in June 2021. The alleged successor of the N200 was spotted at the FCC certification platform in June this year. According to The Verge, OnePlus spokesperson Spenser Blank has revealed that the OnePlus Nord N300 will be released in North America in November this year.
The publication revealed that the OnePlus Nord N300 will be powered by a MediaTek chip and feature a 90Hz refresh rate display. The report also reveals that the handset will carry support for 33W fast charging.
OnePlus Nord N200 5G
It is speculated that the OnePlus device with the CPH2389 model number will launch in the US with the OnePlus Nord N300. Apart from FCC, the device has also been spotted at the Bluetooth SIG authority. These certifications have revealed that the device will come with support for Bluetooth 5.3, NFC, Wi-Fi 802.11ac, and n2 / n25 / n41 / n66 / n71 / n77 5G bands. The other specifications of the device are yet to be confirmed.
OnePlus Nord N200 5G specifications
To recall, the OnePlus Nord 200 5G camera with a 6.49-inch IPS LCD FHD+ panel that offers a 90Hz refresh rate. The device has a 16-megapixel front-facing camera and a 13-megapixel (main) + 2-megapixel (depth) + 2-megapixel (macro) triple camera unit.
The Snapdragon 480 chip is present under the hood of the OnePlus Nord N200. It runs on the Android 11 OS with OxygenOS UI on top. The N200 has 4 GB of RAM, 64 GB of RAM, and a 5,000mAh battery with 18W fast charging support. For security, it has a side-facing fingerprint scanner. It was made available at a price of $239. Hence, it is likely the upcoming N300 may carry a similar price.
This year Google did even more serious things than last year by releasing the new Google Pixel 7 Pro. While last year Big G came up with its first flagship after a lot of time not releasing any, this year the new flagship is even more outstanding and it retains a very affordable price if compared to flagships from the other brands, even though it remains a top-tier phone. But with that price, is it really able to compete with the iPhone 14 Pro? Is it worth spending more for the Apple flagship or you can save a lot of money by purchasing the Pixel while still getting a very high quality? This is a comparison between the main specifications of the iPhone 14 Pro and the Google Pixel 7 Pro which will hopefully help you find out. Note that the opinions in this comparison are also valid for the iPhone 14 Pro Max with the exception of the dimensions, the display diagonal, and the battery capacity, which are bigger on the Pro Max variant.

Which design should you prefer? It is mostly a matter of taste. I personally prefer the iPhone 14 Pro for several reasons. First of all, it is way more compact, thanks to the presence of a smaller display. Further, it is built with better materials including glass for the back protected by Ceramic Shield and stainless steel for the frame. It even offers better water resistance with the IP68 certification allowing you to put it underwater up to 6 meters deep. Further, it comes with the iconic Dynamic Island, not liked by everyone but is a very futuristic feature. On the other hand, the Google Pixel 7 Pro offers a very original design including a horizontal bar for the rear cameras made of recycled material. It is built with a glass back and an aluminum frame, and it is waterproof with the IP68 certification allowing you to put it underwater up to 1.5 meters deep for a max time of 30 minutes.
Display
Here is a very hard fight since both phones come with outstanding flagship-class displays. Here, I would primarily choose by basing on the display diagonal: the iPhone 14 Pro has a compact 6.1-inch panel, while the Google Pixel 7 Pro has a big 6.7-inch panel: if you want a new phone for productivity, then the latter is a better choice in terms of display. For the rest, they both offer amazing displays, even though the iPhone 14 Pro should be slightly better. The Pixel has an AMOLED panel with a Quad HD+ resolution of 1440 x 3120 pixels, the LTPO technology enabling an adaptive refresh rate from 1 to 120 Hz, HDR10+ certification, an in-display fingerprint reader, and Gorilla Glass Victus protection. The iPhone 14 Pro has a Super Retina XDR OLED display with a Full HD+ resolution of 1179 x 2556 pixels, an adaptive refresh rate from 1 to 120 Hz, HDR10 certification, Dolby Vision support, as well as Ceramic Shield protection. In Dynamic Island, there are hardware sensors for Face ID, which is 3D facial recognition.
Specs & Software
