Huawei will be holding its next launch event in China on Sept. 6. The major attraction of the event will be the Mate 50 series of flagship phones. The same event is expected to see the arrival of a couple of other Huawei products. One of them appears to be a new edition of the Huawei P50 Pocket, and the other one seems to be an Enjoy-series phone.

Two new Huawei devices with model numbers BAL-AL80 and CHA-AL80 have appeared with images and key specifications in the database of China’s TENAA certification site. The images show that the BAL-AL80 is a clamshell device, whereas the CHA-AL80 could be an Enjoy-branded mid-range handset.

The BAL-AL80 could be a sequel or an updated version of the Huawei P50 Pocket. The device can be seen sporting a dual-tone design. There are two circles on the backside of the device. The first one looks like it has three cameras, and the second one has a second screen like the P50 Pocket.

The listing does not mention support for 5G networks on the device. It further reveals that the device is equipped with five cameras and a 4,260mAh battery.

The CHA-AL80 Huawei phone has a punch-hole display on the front, a side-facing fingerprint scanner, and a triple camera unit on the back. It packs a 3,900mAh and lacks support for 5G connectivity. Both devices run on HarmonyOS. Unfortunately, there is no information available on the final monikers of both devices.

The upcoming Mate 50 series is expected to include four models, such as the Snapdragon 778G powered Mate 50e; and the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 4G powered Mate 50, Mate 50 Pro, and Mate 50 RS Porsche Design.

HMD Global may soon introduce a new Nokia-branded smartphone dubbed as Nokia C31. Going by its name, the handset will likely be a higher variant of Nokia C21 and Nokia C21 Plus from earlier this year. Let’s take a look at this upcoming phone.

The yet-to-release Nokia C31 has been spotted on Geekbench. The listing reveals the chipset, RAM, and software of the device.

The smartphone will be powered by a Unisoc SoC. It is expected to house a Unisoc SC9863A chip, which happens to be the same chipset running Nokia C21 and Nokia C21 Plus.

Either way, the SoC will be paired with 4GB RAM. There could be other memory variants. On the software front, the phone will boot Android 12.

Talking about performance, it is capable of scoring 145 points and 796 points in single-core and multi-core tests respectively. In other words, it can only perform basic tasks.

Unfortunately, nothing else is known about the forthcoming Nokia C31. That’s because this is its first appearance on the internet.

Just like almost all smartphones, we expect to learn more about this one before its official launch in the coming days. Details about it will likely emerge via certifications and leaks.

Earlier this month, Samsung had began rolling out the Android 13 OS based One UI 5.0 Beta update for its current gen flagship series, the Galaxy S22 lineup. Now, the company has also released this update for the previous gen Galaxy S21 series as well.

The South Korean tech giant has announced various features for the new One UI 5.0 Beta update. As of right now, the public beta update for One UI is currently not available across the globe and is only being released in select markets. So, Galaxy S21 owners in India are not eligible for this update, but the beta has began rolling out in South Korea and the UK as well.

The public beta update for the One UI 5.0 is only available for download for those that have already signed up for the beta program. For those interested, you can sign up for this program through the Samsung Members application, which will require you to fill in some details before you get notified for the update eligibility notification. As per official notes, The final update is expected to roll out to all eligible devices sometime in October 2022.

With the new One UI 5.0 beta update, Samsung brings the major Android 13 update as well as the new color palette of the new OS alongside various other features and UI changes.

Aug 31, 2022

ColorOS 13 is now available for more OnePlus devices in the beta form. The brand has kickstarted the closed beta initiative for four additional handsets, namely OnePlus 8, OnePlus 8 Pro, OnePlus 8T, and Oneplus Ace.

The ColorOS 13 closed beta program for these devices begins soon after the announcement of the software in China. Unsurprisingly, the initiative is limited to China as the global models boot OxygenOS.

The beta registrations of these phones are only live until today (August 31). We believe there could be multiple rounds of recruitment in the coming days.

As per the official update schedule, the OnePlus Ace will enter the open beta phase in September. It will be later followed by OnePlus 8, OnePlus 8 Pro, and OnePlus 8T in October.

Since Oppo is known for delivering stable update a month or two from the release of open beta builds, these handsets will most likely run the stable version of ColorOS 13 before the end of 2022.

We expect the same for the international variants as well. That’s because OnePlus has begun the OxygenOS 13 open beta program for them too. Hopefully, the brand doesn’t mess up this time around.

We regularly cover ColorOS update stories. So stay tuned to remain updated.

Upcoming iPhone SE to resemble the iPhone XR in design

Aug 31, 2022

Well-known YouTuber Jon Prosser appeared on the Geared Up podcast with Andru Edwards and Jon Rettinger (via AppleTrackr) to reveal key details of the upcoming 4^th generation iPhone SE. The iPhone SE 2022 was based on the iPhone 8. The new leak reveals that the next-generation iPhone SE will be based on the previously released iPhone XR.

According to Prosser, the iPhone SE 4 will be “just an iPhone XR.” This indicates that it will be equipped with a notched display, reduced bezels, and Face ID. This also suggests that it may not feature a Touch ID sensor.

The iPhone SE 2022 is powered by the Apple A15 Bionic chip, which is the same chip that can be found in the iPhone 13 series. Rumors are rife that the iPhone 14 and 14 Max, debuting next month, will have the A15 chip, whereas the iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max will be equipped with the Apple A16 Bionic.

Hence, it appears that the iPhone SE 4 may feature the Apple A15 Bionic chip. The rest of its specifications could be identical to the iPhone XR, which has been discounted by Apple. Reports have revealed that there has been less demand for the iPhone SE, which suggests that people may not be interested in purchasing an iPhone with an older design.

The iPhone XR, which went official in 2018, came with a 6.1-inch Liquid Retina IPS LCD display that offered 828 x 1792 pixels. The A12 Bionic chip-powered device featured 3 GB of RAM, up to 256 GB of storage, and a 2,942mAh battery with 15W charging support. It came with a 7-megapixel front camera and an OIS-enabled 12-megapixel rear camera.

A couple of weeks back, Oppo unveiled ColorOS 13 for global markets. Yesterday, the company debuted its latest mobile software in China.

As expected, the firm also revealed the list of devices that will receive an update to this software. Unlike the global eligible list, this one includes OnePlus smartphones.

That’s because OnePlus phones run pure ColorOS in China. Whereas, in international markets, they boot OxygenOS, which is a fork of ColorOS.

With that out of the way, let’s take a look at all the OnePlus smartphones that will get access to the Android 13-based ColorOS 13 update.

OnePlus ColorOS 13 Update List

August 2022

OnePlus 10 Pro

September 2022

OnePlus 9 Pro
OnePlus 9
OnePlus Ace

October 2022

OnePlus Ace Pro
OnePlus 9RT
OnePlus 9R
OnePlus 8 Pro
OnePlus 8
OnePlus 8T

The aforementioned schedule denotes the start of the open beta program. The stable release may happen a month or two from the listed month.

It is worth noting that OnePlus has begun the closed beta program for almost all the handsets on the list, except for the OnePlus Ace Pro. Hence, expect the company to deliver the update in a timely manner.

If OnePlus follows the timeline, this will be the first time it will be pushing the latest Android update faster to multiple devices. Merging with Oppo seems to be doing wonders for the brand.

Aug 31, 2022

GoPro is apparently planning on launching a new camera in the market soon. The brand is known for making some of the most popular actions cameras in the market, and now, its upcoming Hero11 model has just been leaked.

The news arrives from a WinFuture report, who revealed some key details regarding the upcoming camera and even leaked its design. For those unaware, the American camera maker had announced its Hero10, which is a flagship grade model, that was capable of recording videos in 5.3K resolution at 60 frames per second. This camera also had a 23 megapixel sensor as well. Now, the new report has revealed that the new Hero11 will practically be identical to the Hero10 in terms of design.

The leak showcases the camera’s design, which includes two displays, with one at the back and the other next to the camera sensor at the front. In other words, the Hero11 Black practically the same as the Hero10 Black. This means that the external design is the same with the dual displays and identical button placements. Talking about the Hero series overall, its the flagship action camera from the brand that is quite popular in the market.

The design of the Hero11 is similar to the Hero10, but was originally found in the Hero9. Although, the Hero10 featured a new GP2 chip that helped raised the video recording at double the frame rate. So, we can likely expect the Hero11 to also come with some improvements in sensor or updates to the feature list. The new GoPro camera may even support 6K resolution and also offer better HDR recording as well.
