The Realme 10 had just recently been spotted on a number of certification websites a couple of days ago. Now, the company’s upcoming smartphone has been spotted in yet another certification database, but this still the listing has revealed some one key spec.
For those unaware, the Chinese smartphone maker is gearing up to launch the new Realme 10 series smartphones next year. But prior to any official announcement, the device was spotted on major certification websites including BIS, NBTC, EEC, and Indonesia Telecom certification websites. Now, it has even been found listed on the IECEE database as well. This new listing on the CB test certification reveals the device’s battery capacity and also carries its model number RMX3630.
Notably, this is the same model number that was also found on the listings on BIS, NBTC, EEC, and Indonesia Telecom certification databases. While the former sightings didn’t reveal any finer details regarding the Realme 10, the latest certifications revealed that the device will be powered by a large 4,880mAh battery pack. In other words, the device will come with a rate battery capacity of 4,880mAh battery with the typical battery possible being around 5,000mAh capacity unit.
Unfortunately, this was all the information that was shared by the new certification website and finer details regarding the upcoming device is still unknown. Although, with its launch being a few months away, we can expect more details to surface in the coming weeks. So stick around for more updates regarding this new handset.
Xiaomi re-entered the tablet category with the launch of the Xiaomi Pad 5 series in August 2021. The non-pro model made its way to multiple international markets in the next few months. A year after its release, the product is now finally receiving the Android 12 update globally.
Xiaomi debuted the Xiaomi Pad with MIUI 12.5 for Pad based on Android 11. It was updated to MIUI 13 before releasing in markets like India.
A few days back, the table got access to the Android 12 update in China. This update is now also available for the EEA and Global variants of the device.
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.
Via GSMArena
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.

Google has a lineup of smart home devices under its Nest brand, and now it appears that the company is gearing up to launch a new product under the lineup, which is likely to be named Google Nest WiFi Pro 6E.
As the name itself indicates, the upcoming device from Google under the Nest brand will be a WiFi 6E router. Ahead of the official launch, the product has been leaked through a listing on a retailer, revealing its pricing and color options.

The two-pack and 3-packs of the device will be available for $299.99 and $399.99, respectively.
The listing has not revealed images of the upcoming device, nor has it revealed any other details apart from the pricing and multiple color options. So, it remains to be seen if it will be shipped with a “Point” network extender.
The Google Nest WiFi Pro 6E has already passed through the FCC certification, revealing its support for Bluetooth LE and mesh networking. The update to WiFi 6E means that the routers will have less interference than current WiFi 6 models because of the additional 6-7Ghz bandwidth range.
Google has scheduled a launch event on 6th October named Made By Google, where the technology giant is expected to officially launch its next-generation flagship smartphones, dubbed Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro. The company will also unveil its first smartwatch in the form of the Pixel Watch, along with some Nest smart home portfolio products.

Vivo is rumored to launch a new foldable smartphone soon called the Vivo X Fold+. The device has already surfaced on the TENAA database, and its key specifications have also been revealed by a Vivo official.
Now, the color options of the upcoming X Fold+ have emerged online, showcasing the device in red and blue colors.
As we know, the Vivo X Fold was launched earlier this year in two color options—Black and Blue. So, it is highly likely that blue and red will be the only color options for the X Fold+. Both color options will have a leather finish.
Vivo X Fold+ specs
So far, it is confirmed that the front and inner foldable displays of the Vivo X Fold+ will support a 120Hz refresh rate.

BenQ has launched a new projector in Europe catered towards gamers. The projector was launched for the North American market earlier this year.
The projector is called the BenQ TH690ST and it boasts a 500,000:1 contrast ratio, a 1080p native resolution, DLP projection technology, and 84% DCI-P3 and 98% Rec.709 color coverage.

The device supports HDR10 and can throw an image 100-in (254 cm) wide from 4.9 ft (1.5 m) distant, due to 1.2X zoom and a throw ratio as low as 0.69.
Coming to the gaming features, the projector offers a low response time of 8.3ms and can put out 1080p content with a refresh rate of 120Hz. 4K gaming, on the other hand, might not feel as snappy as the projector supports a 60Hz refresh rate for the resolution with a 33.4ms response time.
For a more immersive experience, Game Mode improves the image based on the ambient brightness. Rich audio is produced via a TreVolo sound system with two 5 W speakers that provide 5.1 surround sound. Various devices, including the PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox Series X, can be connected to the projector via HDMI 2.0b connectors.
BenQ has designed the gadget to be used indoors. It measures 366 x 244 x 118 mm (14.4 x 9.6 x 4.6-in) and weighs 3.6 kg (7.9 lbs). The BenQ TH690ST short-throw gaming projector has a price tag of €1,199 (US$1,198) and £1,099 (US$1,250) in the EU and the UK, whereas it costs $1,099 in the US.
Xiaomi is expected to announce the Xiaomi 12T series of flagship phones soon in the global market. Reports have claimed that it will debut in October. Speculations are rife that the first-ever Redmi tablet, named Redmi Pad, will also debut alongside the 12T series. Tipster Kacper Skrzypek has shared some screenshots taken from the Instagram handles of Xiaomi Kuwait and Xiaomi Iraq. He also shared a commercial image of the tablet, which seemingly appeared on Xiaomi Iraq’s Instagram handle. These findings suggest that the Redmi Pad may debut in the next few days.
The Instagram posts are no longer available on the above-mentioned handles. The screenshots show that the Redmi Pad is available for purchase. However, it is unclear where the tablet is being sold. The tablet is priced at around $232.5 in Kuwait and around $225 in Iraq.

The Redmi Pad tablet seems to be equipped with a metallic rear. The back panel features a single camera with no LED flash and Redmi branding at the bottom. The device is expected to be released in different markets since it has bagged multiple certifications.
Redmi Pad specifications
Rumors surrounding the Redmi Pad have claimed that it has an 11-inch LCD display that offers a 2K resolution. It is said to be equipped with a new MediaTek chip that has a MT8781 model number. The chip is expected to offer performance similar to the Helio G99. It will run on Android 12 OS with MIUI 13 on top. It will house a 7,800mAh battery with 22.5W fast charging support.
The Redmi Pad is expected to arrive in two variants: 3 GB RAM + 64 GB storage and 4 GB RAM + 64 GB storage. It will be available in three colors: Graphite Grey, Moonlight Silver, and Mint Green.
XPeng, one of the leading smart electric vehicles maker in China, has announced that the company has launched the pilot program City Navigation Guided Pilot (City NGP), making it the first Chinese auto company to launch such a high-level Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) functions for complex urban driving scenarios.
The system is now available in the area of Guangzhou, China. The ADAS platform is made possible by XPeng’s combination of sensors to deliver a 360-degree fusion perception through cameras, LiDAR, millimeter-wave radars, and high-precision positioning units.
A cohort of Guangzhou-based XPeng P5 customers can now access City NGP through over-the-air updates before launching to other cities. To ensure sufficient knowledge of safety procedures, City NGP requires a seven-day familiarization period, and 100 km of driving before its functions can be used on all available roads.
When City NGP is activated with a set destination, the vehicle itself can perform the full range of driving tasks. The driving tasks include cruising at a safe distance from leading vehicles, changing lanes due to navigation or vehicle overtaking decisions, handling merging/splitting roads, getting around stationary vehicles or obstacles, and maintaining an appropriate speed.
It can also automatically detect and react to traffic lights, make lane change decisions and inform drivers, take a left or right turns, navigate through intersections, roundabouts, viaducts, and tunnels, as well as avoid obstructions.
The approach of XPeng is contrary to Tesla, which has abandoned LiDAR in favor of one single vision perception. Tesla FSD continues to expand and improve through the beta phase, but the company has been deferring the wide release, keeping the customers waiting for it to make good on its promise of fully-autonomous driving.

A lot of people consider giants like Samsung, Xiaomi, and OPPO as the main rivals of Apple, but they forget another important technology giant which could be considered the main rival of Apple on the software side if we talk about mobile phones. We are talking about Google, the company which develops the Android operating system. And given that Apple devices come with iOS, the reasons to consider it as a rival are pretty obvious. This year, Google released a top-tier flagship: the Google Pixel 6 Pro. This is the reason why it is now able to perfectly compete with Apple in the flagship segment. Is it better to choose an Apple flagship or a Google flagship? There is no better way to understand it than a comparison. Here is a comparison between the main specifications of the Apple iPhone 14 Pro and the Google Pixel 6 Pro. Note that what we say in this comparison would be the same if you replace the iPhone 14 Pro with the iPhone 14 Pro Max, with the exception of the battery and the display size.

Which phone has the best design? It is mostly a matter of taste: I personally prefer the iPhone 14 Pro, but Google did a great job by releasing a flagship with one of the most original designs out there. The new iPhone 14 Pro is the first Apple device with the Dynamic Island: it ditches the notch in favor of a pill shaped punch hole that can also show info from apps and more. It has higher built quality as it is built with Ceramic Shield glass and a stainless steel frame, and it also features better water resistance with the IP68 certification and the ability to go underwater up to 6 meters deep for a max time of 30 minutes. The Google Pixel 6 Pro is way bigger than its rival from Apple, but it comes with very narrow bezels and an original rear side. It is built with a glass back protected by Gorilla Glass Victus, it has an aluminum frame, and the IP68 certification (up to 1.5 meters for a max time of 30 minutes).
Display
It is a very hard fight between the displays of these two phones. The Apple iPhone 14 Pro has a Super Retina XDR OLED display with a diagonal of 6.1 inches, a Full HD+ resolution of 1179 x 2556 pixels, the LTPO technology enabling an adaptive refresh rate from 1 to 120 Hz, the HDR10 certification, Dolby Vision support, and a peak brightness of up to 2,000 nits. The Google Pixel 6 Pro has an AMOLED display with a wider 6.71-inch diagonal, a Quad HD+ resolution of 1440 x 3120 pixels, an adaptive refresh rate from 1 to 120 Hz, the HDR10+ certification, and an in-display fingerprint reader. I personally prefer the Google Pixel 6 Pro because of its wider diagonal, better for productivity and gaming, but the iPhone 14 Pro might provide way higher image quality.
Specs & Software
Both these phones are equipped with a flagship-class hardware department, but the Apple iPhone 14 Pro should be able to provide higher performance in a lot of scenarios thanks to the great optimization of the iOS operating system.
