The new leak regarding Motorola Devon 5G comes from an industry source of 91Mobiles. The leak not only exposes the key features of the phone but also its design via a render.

As you can see from the image, the device looks identical to the Moto G32. Hence, it may launch as Moto G32 5G. 

The handset is said to arrive with a triple camera system comprising a 64MP primary sensor, a 2MP macro snapper, and a 2MP depth sensor. On the front, it will sport a 16MP camera for selfies and video calls.

It will flaunt a centered punch-hole display. The size and resolution of the screen could be 6.5-inches and FHD+, respectively. 

The phone will be powered by an unknown MediaTek 5G chipset. Finally, it will be available in 4GB and 6GB RAM options.

Motorola is yet to tease the arrival of the device. Anyway, going by the extensive leak, the smartphone may release sooner than later.

Google Pixel 4 receives its final update just ahead of Pixel 7 series launch

For the Pixel 4 series of smartphone users, Google is rolling out the final update for the two devices. The company is updating the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL just ahead of the launch of the latest flagship Pixel 7 series.

Google
Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL

The news arrives from an official Search Engine giant support page back. So now, the October 2022 is the last month the two smartphones will be receiving their guaranteed update. In other words, there will no longer offer any major Android version update or even any security updates either. For those unaware, Google’s Pixel family of phones typically are one of the first to receive any major Android upgrades as a part of their “guaranteed” updates.

This means, it is still possible that the company will support the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL with smaller software updates for a while longer. Although, this is unlikely considering the brand stopped supporting the Pixel 3 following the end of the “guaranteed” updates previously. The company discontinuing the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL support arrives just ahead of the launch of the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro, which is the flagship lineup of this year.

Since these are new phones, it is guaranteed to receive five years of security patches, which is higher than the three years of security updates offered by the Pixel 4 series. However, the Pixel 7 series will likely only receive up to three years of major Android support.

Xiaomi Smart Band 7 Pro Global Variant Lacks NFC for Contactless Payments

The Xiaomi Band 7 Pro was initially launched in China in July. Yesterday, the company announced this wearable for the global markets. 

Outside mainland China, it goes by Xiaomi Smart Band 7 Pro. Additionally, it also lacks a useful feature.

Xiaomi Band 7 Pro

The Xiaomi Band 7 Pro arrives with NFC as standard in China. Hence, it offers support for contactless payments and transit passes in the region.

But unfortunately, the global variant of the fitness tracker lacks NFC. We expected the product to feature this hardware because Xiaomi released Mi Smart Band 6 NFC in select global markets last year.

This year, the company has neither debuted Xiaomi Smart Band 7 NFC in international markets nor has included NFC in Xiaomi Smart Band 7 Pro. Hence, people looking for contactless payments on their fitness trackers will have to buy the older Mi Smart Band 6 NFC.

Perhaps, the firm may bring the NFC variant of Xiaomi Smart Band 7 Pro later. But as of now, there are no leaks or reports regarding it.

Either way, if you are fine without NFC, the wearable is a good purchase for €99. It offers a 1.64-inch rectangular AMOLED display, heart-rate monitoring, blood oxygen level monitoring, sleep tracking, 110+ sports modes, GNSS, 150+ watch faces, 5 ATM water resistance, 12-day battery life, and more.

Elon Musk changes his mind about the Twitter acquisition

Elon Musk has apparently had a change in heart regarding his original plans of acquiring Twitter. The billionaire had backed out of the deal a while ago, but now, it appears that Musk is planning on buying the platform again.

Elon Musk Featured

For those unaware, the Tesla and SpaceX CEO offered to buy Twitter for 44 billion US Dollars back in April 2022. However, the deal was soon put on hold over disputed regarding the number of fake and spam accounts that Twitter claimed to have on their platform. The social media giant claimed that the percentage was less than 5 percent, but Musk decided to pull out of the deal. He claimed that the microblogging website did not comply with his contractual obligations.

Thus, Musk backed out of the deal back in July 2022 as he claimed that the company failed to provide him with relevant business information. In response to this, the social media company filed a lawsuit against Elon Musk to force the billionaire to make the original purchase. The company accused Musk of disrupting its operations and even destroying their stockholder value.

However now, Musk’s changing his mind about the buyout arrives before the trial, which was set to begin in October 17. Since Elon is set to acquire Twitter again, the trial should fall through unless he has another change of heart. So stick around for more, as we will be providing updates when additional information is available regarding this matter.

Apple AirPods Pro 2 bug shows ‘Replace Battery Soon’ message to users

Apple had just recently announced the highly anticipated second generation of its AirPods Pro 2 truly wireless earbuds. But similar to the iPhone 14 lineup, it appears that even the new hearables are facing bugs soon after their launch. So let’s have a look.

Apple

A number of users have been complaining about a bug that triggers the battery replacement notifications on the Find My app. This bug affects nearby devices when the battery of the AirPods Pro earbuds or the MagSafe Charging  Case is low. For those unaware, the AirPods Pro 2 was arrives with enhanced Find My functionality from its U1 chip for Precision Finding and even sharing the battery levels at all times.

So, it is likely that this new feature on the second generation AirPods Pro might be the cause behind this new bug. Looking at the notification, users are urged to “replace the battery on soon.” Although, it is technically not possible to replace the batteries on the AirPods Pro and one just needs to charge the device. In other words, users facing this issue might not be aware that the notification is for the AirPods Pro 2 since the item are referred to as simply “left,” “right,” and “Case.”

Apple AirPods Pro 2

Notably, the notifications also appears to be similar to the one used for the AirTag when its CR2032 battery is almost empty and needed to be replaced. Meaning, there is also a chance that the Find My app could be confusing the AirPods Pro 2 with the AirTag smart tracker. So, users do not have to worry about their new second generation AirPods Pro being a faulty unit.

VLC Indian ban: VideoLan Issues Legal Notice to DoT and MeitY

Back in August, Indian authorities banned the official VLC media player website “www.videolan.org” across the country without an explanation for the ban. Now, VideoLAN, the publisher of the VLC media player, has issued a legal notice to the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) and Ministry of Electronics and IT (MeiTY) in India.

After the ban, MeiTY received a Right to Information (RTI) request from VideoLAN with assistance from the Internet Freedom Foundation (IFF). MeiTY answered by stating that they do not have any information regarding the ban. According to IFF, VideoLAN was not provided a warning or an opportunity to be heard. After that, VideoLAN has now sent these two government organizations a legal notice.

Although the government hasn’t provided any information or justification for why the VLC website was blocked in the nation, it has been reported that the government forbade downloading VLC from the program’s official website because some cybersecurity experts asserted that a hacker group called Cicada, based in China, used VLC to distribute malware. According to reports, the Chinese government supported the strike. Over the years, the hacker group has accumulated notoriety for attacking NGOs.

You can watch the Pixel 7 series and Pixel Watch event by clicking here.

At the event, Google Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro smartphones will get launched. Based on the leaks and reports, the Pixel 7 Pro will be powered by the yet unannounced Google Tensor G2 processor with improved GPU and NPU.

In the camera department, the phone will have a triple-camera setup consisting of a 50MP primary sensor, a 12MP ultra-wide sensor, and a 48MP telephoto lens. On the front side, there’s an 11MP snapper for taking selfies and video calling.

The device will be powered by a 5,000mAh capacity battery and have support for 30W fast charging. In the software department, the phone will run the latest Android 13 operating system out-of-the-box.

Alleged Pixel 7 series manual images hint to MicroSD card support

Google will launch the upcoming Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro smartphones at the “Made by Google” event scheduled for tomorrow (October 6). Through various reports, almost all the specifications and features of these devices have already leaked.

Now, tipster Evan Blass has shared some new images of the Pixel 7 series smartphones that appear to be from official manuals. They claim to demonstrate where the buttons, speakers, and seemingly unchanged 50MP primary and 12MP ultra-wide rear cameras will remain on both phones.

Additionally, according to the schematics, Google will ship all models of the 7 series with physical card readers, which could be an indication that the OEM does not plan to follow Apple in promoting eSIM adoption just yet. However, the most interesting part of these manual pictures is the mention of “MICROSD TRAY”, which is quite a surprise in the premium segment in this day and age. This could most likely be an error, considering that Google has not offered microSD card support for any of its Pixel devices to date.

So far, leaked hardware specs of the Pixel 7 series have revealed some improvements in the battery department, along with a Tensor G2 chip, which is expected to give better GPU and AI performance. Other than that, the device is mostly expected to be the same as the Pixel 6 series, with more polished software and design. It remains to be seen if Google includes any new Pixel-exclusive features on the new devices.
