Following the massive success of Rockstar‘s Grand Theft Auto V, fans of the series have been waiting patiently for the next title in the popular franchise. And now, a huge leak has revealed some very interesting details regarding the GTA 6 as well as offering us a glimpse of what it would actually look like.

The leak arrives from a user on GTAForums called ‘teapotuberhacker.’ He shared leaked clips of the game, which were widely shared soon after they were published. As of right now, Grand Theft Auto VI is easily one of the most anticipated video games in the gaming industry. With its predecessor being the second best selling game of all time, it arrives as no surprise that fans across the globe are waiting to see where the franchise goes next. The wait has already been almost a decade long, so the leak comes as a relief to many, since it confirms that the game is currently being developed.

Based on the leaked video clips that have now been taken down and included more than 90 video clips that showcases the two main characters of the upcoming game, a robbery scene, and more. One of the two leads in the game is a female character, which is a first for the GTA series. The leak also revealed the robbery scene at a diner where a female can be seen stealing money and taking hostages before the police eventually show up. Here, one female character called Lucia is accompanied by a male called Jason. They snatch one of their vehicles and is told to abandon them to complete the mission.

It seems unclear whether the leaks are entirely accurate. However, 90 leaked videos in such detail is quite rare for someone that is faking the whole thing. At the moment, the authenticity of these leaks are still in question. But regardless, the game is still a couple of years away from being released. The game in the leak appears to be an early build and is clearly under development.

Here’s why DXOMark didn’t receive smartphones from brands this year

Sep 19, 2022

Back in June 2022, we had reported on Xiaomi CEO and Founder, Lei Jun, saying that the new Xiaomi 12S series will not be passing through the DXOMark camera rating test. And now, we have an official response from the professional camera rating based firm.

Earlier today (19th September 2022), the CEO of DXOMark, Frédéric Guichard accepted an interview in which he stated that he is not addressing Xiaomi’s stance of not sending over smartphones for testing, but he will be answering some major questions from consumers on social media. Apparently, Xiaomi and some other manufacturers have decided to not send their new launches for camera testing this year.

As per the CEO of DXOMark, the reason for less OEMs sending phones for testing isn’t because of any disputes with the tests themselves, rather, the brand are not sending over phones since its very hard for a new model to take the top spot in the DXOMark’s listing. He further added that only smartphones that score in the top are able to promote their camera test rankings. In other words, the tests only help out when the scores are high enough to be marketed. Frederic Guichar said that the revenue from its evaluation reports are also quite sizeable.

But despite this, it dose not sell any points or rankings on its platform and its business model is offering its service from its laboratories and technologies. The published scores on DXOMark depend only on the quality of the product and are not affected by whether a smartphone maker chooses to opt for the evaluation service. Although, it is worth noting that the camera rating brand also offers its services in terms of tweaking the cameras on smartphones. Basically, it helps optimize the smartphone sensors that should help them get better scores on their tests as well.

Apple iPhone 14 & iPhone 14 Pro Max charging speeds revealed

Sep 19, 2022

The Apple iPhone 14 series was just recently announced for the global market. We have already covered various reports regarding the device since its launch, ranging from availability and known bugs, but now, the latest information has revealed the charging speeds of the new iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro Max.

The news arrives from a Chinese website called Chongdiantou, who has tested a variety of Apple power adapters on the new 2022 iPhone models. Interestingly, they chose to test the base model of the series as well as its top end variant. The test basically showcased the charging rates of the two iPhones and even suggested which charger is the most valuable for fast charging.

Looking at these results, the Cupertino based giant’s 29W or higher power adapters can charge the iPhone 14 Pro Max at up to 27W. Similar to the these two model, the iPhone 14 Plus and iPhone 14 Pro should also have a similar charging rate. In other words, Apple’s official 30W USB Type C power adapter should offer the best charging output and should work best with the latest generation of iPhone series.

This report is quite interesting since the brand has never officially revealed the fast charging speeds of its iPhones or even their battery capacities. Chongdiantou tested multiple Apple chargers, which revealed that the iPhone 14 Pro Max has a maximum charging speed of 26W to 27W while the iPhone 14 has a charging speed of 25W. These figures might look lackluster compared to the one’s offered by its Android counterparts, but hopefully the iPhone 15 series possibly coming with a USB Type C port may bump these charging rate.

Sep 19, 2022

Apple had just recently unveiled its highly anticipated the iPhone 14 series. But it seems that the launch didn’t go as smooth as planned with the new iPhone models suffering from some bugs with basic system apps like FaceTime and iMessages. Now, a new report has revealed that the camera on the higher end Pro models is also facing a bug as well.

According to an AppleInsider report, various users across the globe have been facing issues with their new iPhone 14 Pro series cameras. For those unaware, the iPhone 14 Pro series features a 48 megapixel primary camera on the rear that features an Action Mode for smoother video capture. But, it seems like some third party applications are facing an issue when using this new camera sensor.

As of right now, various owners of the 2022 iPhones have found that the camera module is shaking when they use popular social media apps like Instagram, TikTok, and Snapchat. The camera issue makes the videos appear very unstable with a lot of shaking. This, in turn, renders these captured videos on social media unusable. Furthermore, complaints of this issue has also reached Reddit, with posts being shared regarding the same bug.

At the moment, it is believed that the shaking of the OIS (Optical Image Stabilization) system is the primary reason for this issue. Notably, the issue does not affect the base iPhone 14 model since it uses an older OIS system as compared to Apple’s second generation Sensor Shift OIS technology for its new 48 megapixel primary camera.

PICO, a brand that makes VR products, has today announced that the company would be hosting a new product launch event in its home country China on 22nd September to unveil a new device which is likely to be PICO 4.

The launch of this upcoming product from the company marks the first VR product from the brand after it was acquired by ByteDance, the parent company of TikTok, earlier this year to expand its business.

If the reports are to be believed, then the PICO 4 will come with an industry-leading Pancake Optical Solution. Compared to the traditional Fresnel lens, it can reduce the size of the headset and significantly improve the wearing comfort for the users.

The PICO 4 is also expected to have significantly improved in terms of clarity, and the field of view angle has reportedly reached 105-degree, which can offer users a more immersive virtual reality experience.

There will reportedly be a Pro-tier headset from the company, which will include face and eye tracking, as well as a passthrough RGB camera that enables mixed reality experiences. It is also rumored to have an automatic IPD, which can automatically adjust the hardware for the wearer’s IPD (inter-pupillary distance).

The headset will be powered by Android Q and an unidentified Qualcomm processor. To know more about the devices, we will have to wait for the official launch event set to take place in the coming days in China.

Apple recently launched the iPhone 14 and 14 Pro lineup of next-generation smartphones from the brand. The highlight of the smartphone is the new Dynamic Island, the replaces the notch on top of the screen in the Pro models.

For this generation of phones, the Dynamic Island feature is limited to the iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max. Now, it is being claimed that all the models of iPhone next year will come with the Dynamic Island feature.

Ross Young says that he expects the Dynamic Island feature to be available on the standard iPhone 14 models next year. He adds that he is still not expecting the regular models to have an LTPO display.

If the report is to be believed, then the standard Apple iPhone 15 will have support for the Dynamic Island feature, but there won’t be support for the ProMotion display and an always-on display option, which will be limited to the Pro models.

Dynamic Island is a pill-shaped cutout area surrounding the Face ID sensors and front camera on the iPhone 14 Pro models. It is an interactive area that can display system alerts like incoming phone calls, and it will also work with Live Activities in third-party apps when iOS 16.1 gets released.

The new feature is tempting enough for the owners of the previous generation iPhones to consider buying the new models, which otherwise isn’t worth upgrading if the phone isn’t too old. If there are not many who plan to upgrade, then it affects Apple’s bottom line.
