Now, known tipster Roland Quandt has leaked the storage options for the European variant of the devices.
According to Quandt, both the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro will be offered in two storage options – 128GB and 256GB. It is likely that more regions could also be limited to these two options.
Google Pixel 7 series specs (expected)
The Pixel 7 series will look similar to the Pixel 6 series. The Pixel 7 will be equipped with dual cameras, while the Pixel 7 Pro will be outfitted with triple cameras. A 50MP main camera (Samsung GN1) and a 13MP (Sony IMX38) ultrawide camera are rumored to be included in the phones. The 7 Pro will also have a 48MP telephoto camera (Samsung GM1). Both variants are anticipated to feature a 10.87MP (Samsung 3J1) front camera.
While the Pixel 7 Pro will have a 6.7-inch 120Hz OLED display, the Pixel 7 will have a 6.4-inch 90Hz OLED panel. The latest Google Tensor G2 processor will power both devices. We can expect both devices to ship with Android 13.0 as far as the software is concerned. Other details are likely to emerge as we get closer to the October 6 launch date, so stay tuned.
Last year September, we saw the launch of the CIVI series in China, Xiaomi’s latest sub-brand that caters to the youth and female market with its sophisticatedly designed premium smartphones that are attractive to the eyes and comfortable to hold in your palms.

And after the sales successes of both the CIVI 1 and CIVI 1S in the country, it is no doubt that Xiaomi is also planning to release the next-generation CIVI 2 this year to capture more market share as well.

With the launch of the iPhone 14 lineup during the keynote held a few days ago, Apple officially ditched the Mini variant in favor of a brand new one: the Plus variant. The iPhone 14 Plus is the first device of its kind and it is essentially a better but more expensive variant of the original iPhone 14. Now, a lot of people are wondering whether or not it is enough to choose the iPhone 14 Plus or whether they should opt for the iPhone 14 Pro Max which remains the most advanced phone of the series. So, through this article, we decided to answer this question. Further, as you maybe know, this year there are more important differences between the Pro variants and the non-Pro variants of the lineup. This is a comparison between the main specifications of the iPhone 14 Plus and the iPhone 14 Pro Max.
Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max vs Apple iPhone 14 Plus
Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max

DIMENSIONS AND WEIGHT
160.7 x 77.6 x 7.9 mm,
240 g
160.8 x 78.1 x 7.8 mm,

DISPLAY
6.7 inches, 1290 x 2796 pixels (Full HD+), Super Retina XDR OLED
6.7 inches, 1284 x 2778p (Full HD+), Super Retina XDR OLED
The first important difference between the iPhone 14 Plus and the iPhone 14 Pro Max is their design. The former comes with the old notch found in the previous generation, while the latter is the first iPhone with a pill-shaped punch hole. It looks a lot more futuristic and interesting thanks to this solution and this is not the only added value. The iPhone 14 Pro Max also comes with a better build quality: it has a glass back and a stainless steel frame, while the Plus variant comes with a glass back and an aluminum frame instead of stainless steel. On the rear side, there are two different camera modules, with more sensors on the Pro Max variant. Both these phones are waterproof with the IP68 certification and you can put them underwater up to 6 meters deep for a max time of 30 minutes without damage.
Display
The displays of these two phones are very advanced. They have exactly the same diagonal: 6.7 inches. It is the first time that two variants of the iPhone lineup have a 6.7-inch diagonal. They are Super Retina XDR OLED displays but with slightly different resolutions (slightly higher on the Pro Max). The iPhone 14 Pro Max wins for two main reasons. The first is the presence of the LTPO technology with an adaptive refresh rate that goes up to 120 Hz, while the Plus stops at the standard 60 Hz refresh rate. Further, the Pro Max comes with a higher brightness: up to 2,000 nits. It even supports the Always-On Display feature. Unlike Android phones, these devices do not come with fingerprint readers, but on the upper part of the display, they have the hardware sensors for the Face ID allowing 3D facial recognition.
Specs & Software
This year the iPhone variants differ even in their chipsets. The iPhone 14 Pro Max is powered by the new Apple A16 Bionic SoC built with a 4 nm production process and running at a max frequency of 3.46 GHz. The iPhone 14 Plus still comes with the Apple A15 Bionic, the same chipset as the iPhone 13 series. It is a chip built with a 5 nm production process and running at a max frequency of 3.22 GHz. Both the phones feature a 5-core proprietary GPU and 6 GB of RAM, but with the Pro Max, you can get a higher amount of internal storage: up to 1 TB, while the Plus stops at just 512 GB. The operating system installed is iOS 16.
Camera
The iPhone 14 Pro Max brings an important upgrade to the camera department. On the rear side, it has four sensors, including an amazing 48 MP main camera with sensor-shift OIS and dual pixel phase detection autofocus. Thanks to this camera, the handset captures a higher level of detail. The 48 MP camera is paired with a 12 MP telephoto sensor with 3x optical zoom and a 12 MP ultrawide camera with a FOV of 120 degrees. Unfortunately, the main camera of the iPhone 14 Plus is still a 12 MP sensor just like the previous generation. Further, this variant lacks a telephoto sensor and it only comes with a 12 MP secondary ultrawide camera. On the front, these phones sport a 12 MP selfie shooter with an f/1.9 focal aperture and hardware sensors for 3D facial recognition.
The battery capacity of these two phones is almost the same, but they do not provide the same battery life. According to Apple, the iPhone 14 Plus is the longest-lasting iPhone ever in terms of battery life. However, we still had no chance to test the phones because they are still on pre-order. They support 29W fast charging which brings the battery from 0 to 50 percent in 30 minutes, as well as Qi wireless charging and the MagSafe technology with a power of 15W.
Price
In the U.S. the iPhone 14 Pro Max starts from $1099/€1099, while the Plus starts from $899/€900 (prices vary depending on the markets). Which one would you pick?
OPPO announced that it has officially joined the Open 3D Foundation (O3DF), part of the nonprofit Linux Foundation, as a Premier member. With the help of O3DF, OPPO will contribute to the development and adaptation of 3D graphics technology for smartphones and also improve 3D graphics performance on them by working with other industry leaders.
For the uninitiated, The O3DF was founded in 2021 to foster developer cooperation and resource pooling by funding open-source projects in 3D graphics, rendering, and game development. The O3DF is supported by over 25 top technological companies, including Adobe, Amazon Web Services, Intel, and Microsoft.
As part of its commitment to the O3DF, OPPO will actively participate in the foundation’s Governing Board and Technical Advisory Committee. The Chinese tech giant will also contribute to the effort of forming a working group specializing in the adaption and development of the O3DE (Open 3D Engine) on mobile devices.
OPPO previously unveiled the ColorOS Ray Tracing 3D Wallpaper at GDC in March, bringing interactive ray tracing to smartphones. It enables users to watch virtual light interact in real-time with virtual settings to create shadows, reflections, and other light effects.
“Today, 3D graphics technology has become an essential element of modern society, with application domains ranging from visual effects, gaming, and medical imaging to next-generation content like Metaverse,” said Hansen Hong, Director of OPPO Software Technology Planning.
“We are excited to join the Open 3D Foundation as a Premier member at the early stage of its development. Through our collaboration within the Foundation, we are eager to contribute to the Open 3D Engine with mobile platforms as our focus,” Hong added.

Xiaomi is developing a 4-door electric vehicle with self-driving capabilities and could enter the market by 2024. Xiaomi’s CEO, Lei Jun sees the company entering the automotive space with the 4-door sedan with in-house self-driving technology. The plans seem afoot, as the company hopes to manufacture the car in its own factory in China. With this move, Xiaomi hopes to join the exclusive class of OEMs that have made inroads into the automotive industry.
Xiaomi has previously considered the option of producing its vehicles in partnership with BAIC. The talks however did not progress as expected and the Chinese tech powerhouse is now going it alone. The Xiaomi Automotive plant is situated in Yizhuang, China and the car will be priced at around 150,000 yuan ($21,655). Xiaomi’s self-driving technology will also debut on the new car. The Xiaomi Pilot, as it is currently called, is based on LIDAR and incorporates Xiaomi’s existing AT128 hybrid solid-state radar system. We expect significant improvements in the self-driving system to include comprehensive viewing angles and other safety improvements.
Xiaomi was silent on other details about the EV like its range, top speed, and other relevant specs. It is also not clear at this time whether the car will grace the global audience immediately after launch. The EV industry remains a competitive turf and Xiaomi already has its work cut out with the heavy hitters both in China and globally. However, its development of autonomous driving technology could give it a head start in the EV space. For now, Xiaomi has also not provided any timelines and milestones for the eventual 2024 release of its first EV.

The device will have the same specifications and design as the regular 10R that’s being sold in the country. The only thing that is changing is the color. And since it will be a special edition, we can expect a slight increase in the pricing.
OnePlus 10R 5G Specifications
