The Samsung Galaxy S23 series is still months away, but the rumor mill has already started shredding its specifications into fine pieces. A recent leak gave us the display specs of the upcoming lineup. Now, a new leak reveals some interesting details about the S23 series’s processor. Samsung is apparently having internal conflicts about whether to use the in-house Exynos chip or Qualcomm’s next-gen SoC in the upcoming Galaxy flagships.
Noted tipster Ice Universe revealed via Weibo that Samsung’s MX (Mobile eXperience) division is not very happy with the performance of the company’s Exynos chipset in the Galaxy S22 smartphones and “hopes” the upcoming Galaxy S23 smartphones will be equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon SoC. However, Samsung’s leadership wants to continue using the Exynos chipset in next year’s flagships.
Reports suggest Samsung’s Exynos 2300 SoC, which is said to be on par with Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, could power the Galaxy S23 series.
A recent report revealed that the S23 lineup will feature no upgrades in terms of display size. However, they may offer better specs, like supporting a higher peak brightness level, lower power consumption, and more.
Just like this year, the S23 series is said to have three models—the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, and Galaxy S23 Ultra. The high-end S23 Ultra could feature some serious upgrades. As per a report, the device will feature a 200-megapixel primary sensor on the back having a size of 1/1.3 inches and 0.6μm sized pixels, and a larger aperture of f/1.7 for getting in more light.
All the models in the series are expected to be powered by the upcoming Snapdragon 8+ Gen 2 SoC and Exynos chipset and will focus on battery efficiency. Samsung is yet to confirm any details about the series. The Galaxy S23 series is expected to launch in 2023.

It will also come with a centre-aligned punch-hole display. Apart from this, the teasers don’t reveal any additional details about the upcoming offering.

The Tecno POVA Neo 5G moniker suggests that it will be positioned below the POVA 5G, which is priced at Rs 19,999. Additionally, it could also be the cheapest 5G device from the brand.

Honor Pad 8 has launched in India today. The company has made a re-entry in the country’s tablet market after many years with the latest offering. The device has already debuted in the global markets and the Indian variant comes with the same specifications. Read on to know what it offers out of the box.
Beginning with the display, the Honor Pad 8 sports a 12-inch screen bearing a 2K resolution and 350 nits brightness. It offers an 87 percent screen-to-body ratio and the screen is TUV Rheinland low blue light certified. The tablet features a metal unibody.

Unlike the Microsoft Xbox Series X and Series S, the PlayStation 5 from Sony does not offer its latest generation of gaming consoles with different specs. Although, it does offer one that lacks a physical disc drive. And now, a new report suggests that a third variant is on the way, so here’s all the details.
Interestingly, the Japanese tech giant has already been making minor changes to its latest generation of PS5 consoles. However, it seems like a new change might bring a drastic change in the new consoles’ design. The news arrives from Insider Gaming‘s Tom Henderson who revealed that Sony could be looking to refresh the physical design of the PlayStation 5. Apparently, the upcoming versions of PS5 might feature a detachable disc drive.
As per the report, the brand plans on releasing the PS5 with a detachable disc drive that will be connected to the console through a USB Type C port that is housed at the back. This would also mean that Sony could choose to bundle the external optical drive with the console. Although, it is also entirely possible that the company chooses to sell this external drive separately.
The company usually launches new variants of its console every 3 to 4 years. So, it won’t be surprising if the new PS5 model launches sometime within the next two years. But unlike a Slim or Pro variant, it seems that this time around the brand plans on bringing a detachable disc drive. This could also bring down the manufacturing cost for the PlayStation 5 and make it more affordable for buyers.

However, it is worth noting that the latest software update for the product is in the ‘Stable Beta’ phase. In simpler words, it has been only made available for a select few users.
If these early adopters don’t face any major issues, then the update will be made available for more units in the coming days. At the same time, we also expect Xiaomi to extend the availability of the update to more regional variants, like India, Russia, Turkey, and Taiwan.
That said, it is sad that Xiaomi Pad 5 is receiving the Android 12 update only now when Android 13 is already out. It would have been nice if the company had released Android 12L instead as Samsung is doing for its tablet lineup.
As of now, it is not known whether the Xiaomi Pad 5 will get the Android 13 update in the future. But it could receive MIUI 14 update.
Lava Blaze Pro has launched in India today. As the name suggests, it is an upgraded variant of the Lava Blaze that debuted in July this year. The smartphone falls under the sub-Rs 12,000 price segment. It competes against the likes of the Redmi 10 Power, Realme C35, and others in the market.
The Lava Blaze Pro features a 6.5-inch display bearing an HD+ resolution and a waterdrop notch. It offers a 90Hz refresh rate. The power button doubles up as a fingerprint scanner and there is a narrow rectangular camera module on the back panel. The device sports a frosted glass back panel.
On the imaging front, the Lava Blaze Pro sports triple rear cameras. The setup comprises a 50MP main sensor with 6x zoom support, an 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens, and a 2MP depth unit. The smartphone features an 8MP selfie snapper.
Internally, the Lava Blaze Pro is equipped with an Helio G37 processor. It packs 4GB RAM and 64GB onboard storage expandable via a microSD card slot. There is 3GB of virtual RAM support. The smartphone draws its power from a 5,000mAh battery unit with support for 10W charging via a USB-C port. It runs on Android 12 OS out of the box.
The Lava Blaze Pro costs Rs 10,499 but can be purchased at a special launch price tag of Rs 9,999. The smartphone is offered in Glass Gold, Glass Green, Glass Blue, and Glass Orange colours. It will be available from online and offline channels in the country.
With the launch of the iPhone 14 series, Apple finally brought a major change in design for its Pro series models with the new Dynamic Island notification system. But it appears that other smartphone brands might be quick to adopt a similar feature, and Redmi could be one of the first.

For those unaware, Apple’s iPhone 14 Pro series features a cutout for its Face ID tech and selfie camera. However, this also serves an additional purpose as it enables the Dynamic Island, which is also optimized to work with various apps for notifications and other input functionalities. Now, it seems like developers for Xiaomi’s MIUI are already working on introducing such a feature for the upcoming Redmi K60.
Notably, the hint arrives following a question asked by Xiaomi President Lu Weibing who said that if we “really need a Smart Island” feature on Weibo (a Chinese microblogging website). On the social media platform, a number of users responded positively for the implementation of the Dynamic Island like feature. Meanwhile, MIUI developers have already started working on such a new notification system that will allow for music controls and other notifications.
In other words, we can also safely assume that other developers for the platform could also begin work on such a feature as well. Although, keep in mind that this is still an unconfirmed report and the Redmi K60 is not officially stated to feature a Dynamic Island like notification system. So take this news with a pinch of salt for now and stick around for more updates.
Back in March 2021, Micromax had announced a new smartphone in the Indian market. The device was a mid range model called the IN 1, which launched with capable specs. However, a bit over a year since its launch, owners of this smartphone have took to social media to voice some major complaints regarding the device.
Shubham Dutt was the first to break the news on his official Twitter account. In his original tweet, he shared a short message regarding his experience as well as images of the Micromax IN 1 model. He said that the company rolled out an August patch update after a year for the IN 1. However, this update brought about rapid batter draining and a couple of days after, he noticed that the battery had started swelling too.
This got pretty noticeable to the point that the rear panel was bent outward from the middle, prompting him to shut off the device for good. Although, this does not appear to be an isolated event unfortunately. In another tweet, Shubham Dutt searched for others facing the same issues on Twitter and posted screenshots of their grievances as well. This included tweets like “I’m facing fast battery draining issue in my Micromax IN 1 Handset.”
So, I just tried checking if it was my unit only or others too, and it looks like I am not the only one. Attaching some screenshots below.
This was followed by other tweets as well that called out the company for rolling out an update more than a 1 year after the smartphone’s release, while the update made the device worse in day to day usage. As of right now, the brand has yet to officially respond to this issue that has affected its customers. But stay tuned for more, as we will be providing updates when additional information is available regarding this matter.
Last week, Oppo began to roll out the Android 13-based ColorOS 13 stable update for the Oppo Find X5 series. A few days after that, the company has now started ColorOS 13 open beta program for the Oppo Find X3 series and the OnePlus 9 series.
These devices were part of the alpha program for a while in China. However, the open beta initiative is live globally.

If you happen to own the Chinese variant of any of the aforementioned phones, we are sorry to say that the registrations for the open beta initiative ended on September 16. At the moment, we do not know if there will be a second round of recruitment.
On the other hand, users of the Southeast Asian variant of Oppo Find X3 Pro need not worry. Because the registrations for this variant started only yesterday (September 19) and will remain open until September 26. But since the company has only allocated 5000 seats, we would urge you to enroll as soon as possible.
As far as the stable release is concerned, we expect that to roll out a month or two away from now. Oppo may disclose the exact release date in one of its next two monthly update rollout schedules.
