Startup brand Nothing is gearing up to launch its second audio product, dubbed Nothing Ear (Stick). The new hearables are expected to replace the Ear (1), launched later this year. The company recently offered us an official look at the design of the upcoming earbuds during London Fashion Week. Now, ahead of the launch, the Ear (stick) cleared FCC certification, giving us a closer look at the casing design and a few key spec details.

Nothing Ear (Stick) has received the FCC certification with model number B157 (via). The listing has also revealed some specifications as well as the design of the upcoming TWS earbuds. As per FCC, the earbuds come with a 36mAH battery, and the charging case, which will also double up as a travel case, will carry an additional 350mAh battery. Further, the Nothing TWS will come with a Type-C to Type-C cable of 31cm in length. For connectivity, the earbuds will have Bluetooth v5.2.

The certification site also reveals the casing design of the Nothing Ear (Stick). As can be seen in the images, the audio product will carry a similar transparent design as the Ear (1). However, its charging case will be pretty different. This time, Nothing decided to go with a cylindrical design that looks like a lipstick, hence the name “Ear (Stick)”.

The new earbuds are said to be a more affordable alternative to the Nothing Ear (1), so they may not come with functionalities like ANC. However, Nothing hasn’t confirmed any details about the upcoming TWS yet. Moreover, we are still waiting for an official launch date of the Nothing Ear (Stick).

The Realme 10 is listed to boot Android 12 out of the box. Since the device will debut next year, you can expect it to receive an Android 13 update shortly after the launch. However, it would be better if Realme ships the device with Android 13. Further, it has a single core score of 483 points and a multi-core score of 1668 points.

Previously, the device has been spotted on multiple certification sites, including the IS, NBTC, EEC, and Indonesia Telecom certification websites.

In terms of optics, the Pixel 7 Pro will come with a triple rear camera setup, which will consist of the same 50-megapixel main sensor, 12-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and 48MP telephoto sensor as its predecessor. However, the telephoto camera is rumored to use a new Samsung GM1 sensor. While at the front, the device will feature an 11-megapixel snapper that may also have autofocus this year.

Lastly, the Pixel phone will come with a similar 5,000mAh battery. It will support only 30W charging, which might not impress some users. In addition, the device will also support for wireless charging.

New Huawei P50 series batch doesn’t feature Leica branding on the rear

Sep 27, 2022

Last year, the Huawei P50 series had launched as the company’s then flagship smartphone models. This series included the P50 and P50 Pro, which was later joined by the new P50E model earlier this year. The company has yet to launch a successor to this premium lineup and has continued to sell this series. But it seems, the latest batch of the phones has a slight difference than the original launch variants.

The latest batch of Huawei P50 series have just recently been spotted on the Chinese tech giant’s Vmall online website. Here, we can see that there is one small change in the rear design of the P50 series, which is the lack of the Leica camera lens branding on the back. For those unaware, the Leica logo was typically found underneath the camera module of the P50 series, but this has since been removed in the new batch of the premium grade handsets.

The P50 lineup was officially the last smartphones from the brand to partner with Leica and this change officially marks the end of their cooperation with one another. So now, the base P50, the top end P50 Pro, and mid range P50E will no longer ship with the Leica logo. But despite this change, the price tag of the smartphone series is still the same as it was before.

Although, back in July 2022, the company announced its new imaging solution called Huawei Imaging XMAGE, which would also carry the exclusive logo of Huawei Mobile Imaging. With this, the brand aims to step into imaging technology and showcase its maturity and expertise in the field after years of research and development guided breakthroughs.
