The newly released source code of the Google Pixel 7 series suggests that the search giant may be working on a small-screen flagship smartphone, perhaps a Pixel 7 Mini. Previously, a popular Chinese tipster also hinted at the existence of a smaller Pixel device. The codebase also reveals some information about the rumored Pixel Fold. Let’s have a closer look.

As unearthed by developer Kuba Wojciechowski, the latest source code of the Pixel 7 series includes references to two upcoming devices, codenamed “Felix” and “Lynx” (via Notebookcheck). It has been reported that “Felix” is the long-rumored Pixel Fold and “Lynx” is the codename for a third Pixel device, possibly the alleged Pixel 7 Ultra or Pixel 7 Mini. However, the moniker of the devices is yet to be officially confirmed.

— Kuba Wojciechowski⚡ (@Za_Raczke) October 16, 2022

The released code hints that the ultra-wide-angle camera and the selfie snapper of “Lynx” will be equipped with Sony’s IMX712 sensors. In addition, the device will switch from the BCM4389 WiFi/BT chip used on the Pixel 6 and Pixel 7 to Qualcomm’s WCN6740.

Furthermore, “Lynx” will utilize the same display panel that is found on Pixel models such as Pixel 6, Pixel 7, and Pixel 6a. While early rumors suggested a 2K display for the Pixel 7 Ultra, this device only has a 1080p display. It seems unlikely that a Pixel 7 series device with the “ultra” moniker will use a display worse than the Pixel 7 Pro. This means “Lynx” is most likely the Pixel 7 Mini.

Details about the rumored Pixel 7 Mini are still pretty short. We are not even sure if the device is actually in the works or not. “Lynx” could also be the affordable Pixel 7a. We should learn more details in the coming details. So, stick around for the updates.

While the purity and primitiveness of white appeal to young consumers who wish to express their refinement and preference for high standards.

At the same time, the dynamic triangular design also gives the phone life and conveys a sense of speed, revealing its inner workings and wide range of functionality.

The Sport edition Spark 9 Pro 8 also utilizes intricate crystal diamond-cut components that will appeal to young customers seeking a touch of opulence.

Additionally, this feature appeals to young customers who want to set themselves apart from the norm by conveying a sense of time-tested refinement.

The new edition retains the internal configuration of the Spark 9 Pro including sporting a 6.9-inch Full HD+ LCD screen with a 90Hz refresh rate.

Samsung Display believes that Micro LED is better for AR over OLED

Oct 17, 2022

Samsung Display has revealed its predictions for the AR device’s display technology. The company believes that the micro LED display technology is the choice for AR (augmented reality), which is much better than OLED.

For those unaware, micro LED is a relatively newer display technology, which Kim Min-woo, head of Samsung Display’s group, believes is the future for AR devices. He stated that “To realize augmented reality (AR), a high-brightness display is necessary.” Thus, the senior official said that this display technology is the most suitable for AR devices.

Samsung Display is currently working on making OLED that will be used for virtual reality based devices’ displays. Although, Kim further added that the implementation of AR, VR, or even mixed reality devices are not the same. He said that “Unlike VR, which is disconnected from reality (external environment), AR must have high luminance, light weight, and small panel size because it has to implement images outdoors.”

AR devices also have to be used outdoors while overlaying the virtual world on top of the real world. However, since OLEDs have lower luminance than LEDs, micro LEDs bring advantages over OLEDs, with their high brightness, higher resolution, longer lifespan, and even form factor as well. Kim stated that “A pixel density of 5000 PPI or higher is required for AR display. should be reduced to 3 μm or less.”

Oct 17, 2022

With the Samsung Galaxy S23 series launch edging closer, new reports and rumors have been surfacing regarding the upcoming flagship smartphones. Now, the latest leak reveals some interesting details regarding the design of the new devices.

Known tipster Ice Universe has just shared new images of protective covers for the Gaaxy S23 series. In the images, we can clearly see cases for the base Galaxy S23, the Galaxy S23 Plus, and even the Galaxy S23 Ultra. Based on recent CAD render leaks, the first two models appear to have no camera bumps this time around, while a raised design can be seen on the Galaxy S23 Ultra model.

The case leak isn’t surprising considering accessory makers typically making products before a device is even officially announced since they need to release the case alongside the new smartphones being launched. Looking at the images, it is clear that the Galaxy S23 series features a uniform design language that is nearly identical to its predecessors. This is more evident with the S23 Ultra that has that same camera setup as S22 Ultra.

Soon after the Google Pixel 6 series launch, reports had flooded the internet regarding a number of bugs and issues that the smartphone lineup faced. But with the Pixel 7 series launch, it appeared that the company had a more stable release this year. However, it appears that the new phones aren’t completely immune to bugs.

Apparently, the Pixel 7 series have been facing issues with its support for the Pixel Stand dock. A Reddit user who owns the Pixel 7 Pro took to the online platform to share the issues with the Pixel Stand that his flagship smartphone suffered from. He stated that “When putting my phone on it, it begins the setup process, but when it gets to the part where I can pick my Home control devices, the app crashes and returns to the home screen. Every so often I then get a prompt to set up the stand, I go through the process of setting it up, only to be prompted again 10 minutes later or so. On top of this, the phone is not charging.”

Notably, he claimed that his Pixel 6 Pro faced no such issues with the second gen Pixel Stand, and even performing a factory reset did not help the bug plaguing the Pixel 7 Pro. This user is not alone as other Pixel 7 series owners have come forward to share their experience with the Pixel Stand online. Another user alleged that his Pixel 7 device turned black while on the dock, while another claimed that he couldn’t unlock his phone once he took it off the stand.

Apparently, this issue was more common with more than one user complaining about the under display fingerprint sensor becoming unavailable on their phones after being taken off the dock. As of right now, there is no fix to this issue but we can expect Google to release a software update to address the bug.
