Furthermore, its rumored that the highly anticipated second generation of AirPods Pro will also feature a major bump in battery life. The original AirPods pro offered more than 24 hours of audio playback and 18 hours of talk time when paired with the charging case.

There have also been rumors of the AirPods Pro 2 dropping the iconic stem design as well.

However, there might be a smaller charging case that will be capable of emitting sound when the owner uses the Find My application if it gets lost.

OnePlus Ace Pro Gift Box Launched in Collaboration With Razer

OnePlus has announced a new gift box in collaboration with Razer.  This China-exclusive gift box is for the brand’s latest smartphone — OnePlus Ace Pro (aka OnePlus 10T). Priced at ¥4,299 ($620), the box is up for reservations. It will go on sale at 10 AM on September 9.

OnePlus Ace Pro x Razer Ace Player Gift Box

The new OnePlus gift box is officially called ‘OnePlus Ace Pro x Razer Ace Player Gift Box.’ It contains the following items.

  • OnePlus Ace Pro (16GB + 512GB) in Moonstone Black
  • OnePlus 18W Freezing Point Cooling Back Clip
  • Razer Gaming Fingertips in Cool Black

The contents of the box are not as interesting as the box itself. Because the uniquely designed box has RGB lighting elements. These elements change color under different lighting environments.

All three Oplus group brands, namely Oppo, OnePlus, and Realme are known for limited editions and gift boxes. But unfortunately, these variants of smartphones rarely make their way to international markets.

Even if they do, they are most likely limited to India and Southeast Asian nations. Hence, the only way to grab these special products is by importing them from China by paying a premium.

Anyway, you can at least get the phone as the OnePlus 10T is available in all markets where the brand has its presence. It starts at $699, £629, and ₹49,999 in different regions.

Rant: Oppo’s Reno 8Z is the Exact Same as Last Generation’s Reno 7Z

It is not uncommon to see Chinese smartphones being rebranded across different markets in the world with a different model name to cater to the specific markets. The main Chinese tech conglomerates which practice this business tactic are respectively Xiaomi (with its sub-brands Xiaomi, Redmi and Poco) and the BBK Group (with its sub-brands Oppo, Realme, Narzo, OnePlus, Vivo and iQOO).

However, what if say the next-generation smartphone had the exact same specs as the last generation release? 

Oppo Reno 8 Z
Oppo Reno 8 Z 5G

This may be a first for the industry, as the latest Oppo Reno 8 Z 5G released in Southeast Asia last month, has the exact same, fully identical specifications as the previous generation Oppo Reno 7 Z 5G which was also released in the Southeast Asia market as well. 

Oppo Reno 7 Z

Don’t believe it? Here’s a comparison table for you to check the specs yourself.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES Side-mounted fingerprint scanner, SD card slot, Dual Camera Orbit Lights Side-mounted fingerprint scanner, SD card slot, Dual Camera Orbit Lights
COLOURS Rainbow Spectrum, Cosmic Black Dawnlight Gold, Starlight Black

 

As you can see here, the new Reno 8 Z has the same Snapdragon 695 5G SoC under the hood, the same 6.43” 60Hz screen with identical brightness specs, the same 4500 mAh battery, the same 33W SuperVOOC charging, the same triple camera setup, even the same 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM, and even the same 128GB of UFS 2.2 base storage.

The only difference between the two phones is just the back camera island, which has been extended to the plastic frame of the device. But even the camera placement on the module remains unchanged, and the phone has even gotten thicker and heavier at 181g (Oppo Reno 8 Z) compared to the 173g on the Oppo Reno 7 Z.

OPPO Reno 8Z 5G

And the crazier fact, the Oppo Reno 7 Z (and Oppo Reno 8 Z) has been rebranded and re-released for many Asian and European markets in 2022 under many aliased names. Here is a quick rundown of what the device is named in other markets:

  1. Oppo Reno 7 Z 5G – Southeast Asia (Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines), March 2022
  2. Oppo F21 Pro 5G – India, April 2022
  3. OnePlus Nord N20 5G – North America, April 2022
  4. Oppo Reno 7 Lite – Europe, April 2022
  5. Oppo Reno 8 Lite – Spain, June 2022
  6. Oppo Reno 8 Z 5G – Southeast Asia (Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines), August 2022
OPPO Reno8 Lite 5G

Whether it be the chip shortage or the lack of competition in the space, it is unclear why innovation is stagnant for both Oppo and OnePlus smartphones in 2022. However, as smartphone consumers ourselves, we should be aware of the company’s practices and their device releases before purchasing a device. And this time around, the Oppo Reno 8 Z is literally just a previous generation smartphone repackaged in a new body to be sold.

AGM H5 Pro Review: Night-Vision Rugged Phone With a Loudest Speaker

AGM H5 Pro

Two months ago, we got our hands on the AGM G1S, an impressive rugged phone with an infrared camera. And today we are gonna talk about another model from the brand, the AGM H5 Pro. It’s also a brand-new rugged phone with more affordable pricing, coming with the loudest speakers and an incredible night vision camera.

[embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzUJuljisz4[/embedyt]

Accessories & Design

Although this is an entry-level product, AGM still provides a complete set of accessories, including a USB cable, an 18W charger, the quick start guide, and a Card PIN.

Just like other rugged phones, the H5 Pro looks very robust at first glance but not so sharp. When holding it in hands, you can feel the curve of the phone body fit well in your palm, and the four corners of the H5 Pro are reinforced with rubber material to cope with those most violent crashes.

The back cover of the phone has a Kevlar-like texture that protects the phone from scratching while also increasing the friction for holding, which did feel safe in hands. On the top of the back cover, you can see a large speaker module that produces up to 109db of sound, which is pretty amazing when we got the sound test result.

The fingerprint sensor is located at the upper center, which means that the phone can be easily unlocked no matter which hand is holding it. The volume button and power button are on the right side of the phone, while on the other side, there is a customizable Side-button, you can make a trigger for activating certain functions in the system settings.

Connectivity

In terms of connectivity, the AGM H5 Pro maintains the configuration of a type-C USB plus a 3.5mm headphone jack, and it is worth mentioning that it also supports FM audio. You can plug the wired headphones into the phone as an FM antenna and then listen to many radio channels.

Rugged features

The AGM H5 Pro is IP68 rated, which means it can safely stay underwater for up to 30 minutes at a depth of 1.5 meters, or even withstand 99% dust environments. And the phone is also highly resistant to drops or crashes. It’s also able to survive repeated drops from 1.5 meters.

Camera & Night Vision

Now let’s focus on its camera system. You can’t expect a rugged phone to do everything well. Especially at this price point, I can only say that the AGM H5 Pro can meet the needs of daily shooting, these photos are not particularly impressive. Especially when under low lighting conditions, the detail and color of the images shot on regular lenses would be hard to compare to some regular phones.

But as I mentioned at the beginning, the most important thing is that it has a special night vision camera featuring 20MP resolution, which can help you see everything at night. All you need is to tap the icon to enter the night vision mode and you will see all the differences.

These graphics remind me of some FPS game scenes in which the role turns on the night vision equipment. It’s clear that this feature is very helpful to those who need good vision at night when exploring the outdoors. You might need to wear very professional equipment to achieve the vision before. Now you just need to take out the phone and you can see the various dangers lurking in the darkness.

Powerful Speaker

Before today the smartphones I’ve tested generally have a maximum speaker volume of about 85db, while this monster in front of me can create a maximum volume of 109db. And around this huge speaker, there is an RGB light ring that can create different lighting effects when playing music. It looks like something good for parties.

Performance for daily use

The AGM H5 Pro is powered by an Helio G85 chip and runs on Android 12, which is quite common on rugged models. But I kind of like the pure operating system. Apart from the necessary features and GMS, there are almost no third-party APPs pre-installed on this phone. The software has good response with smooth animation, and although this 6.52-inch screen doesn’t support a high refresh rate, It’s quite surprising that it hardly feels laggy when swiping between pages.

The H5 Pro can run the most popular casual games or FPS games smoothly under low or standard graphics. But I still want to say that the phone is not for those RPG games that require high performance or high graphics. But the good point is that you don’t really need to worry about the heating issue or power draining that we generally got on a regular flagship phone.

Battery & Charge

Compared to AGM’s flagship products, the H5 Pro has a larger battery. The 7000mAh battery supports 10 hours of continuous gaming and up to 423 hours of standby. I believe that no one would continuously play games for 10 hours on such a rugged phone. A benefit brought by the large battery is that it allows you to focus your mind on things that are really worth paying attention to, but not keep finding a charger for it. However, one thing you should note is that the charger’s maximum output is only 18 watts, so you’d better fully charge it before you set off.

And it’s interesting that AGM brought a special feature of wireless charging for the rugged phone. But it’s not the common way with charging coils that we saw before. There’s an exclusive wireless charging base for the H5 Pro. So you can see the metal contacts at the back, which are particularly prepared for the wireless power supply.

Conclusion

So that’s all we wanna share with you about the AGM H5 Pro. Well like other rugged phones, it’s not a performance-focused phone, but as an affordable Rugged phone, it’s quite balanced as a function-oriented model that has an impressive speaker and a night vision camera. And meanwhile, it also features a few useful tools that may be helpful for outdoors or fieldwork. So no matter for going on a solo safari, camping with friends, or just finding a tool for your daily work, it’ll be a pretty reliable companion.

Huawei Mate 50 series teaser confirms support for Satellite Communication

Huawei is gearing up to launch its next-generation Mate-series flagship smartphones in the form of the Huawei Mate 50 lineup, even though the company is pretty much out of the game when it comes to premium devices because of the US-imposed sanctions.

But that isn’t stopping the Chinese giant from offering unique and innovative features to its smartphones. In the latest teaser shared by Huawei, it has been confirmed that the Mate 50 series smartphones will have support for satellite communication.

Huawei Mate 50 Satellite Communication

In a teaser video shared by the company showing a satellite getting launched, Huawei says that the signal goes beyond the ground and the device is always connected for communication. This pretty much confirms that the upcoming premium phones from the company will come with support for satellite communication feature.

Based on the rumors and previous leaks, it is being said that the satellite communication feature in the Huawei Mate 50 series will provide an emergency messaging service supported by the Beidou system.

The development comes after Huawei was granted a patent for “Method and Device for Satellite Communication,” and the company has also applied for several other patents related to this technology.

Huawei isn’t the only company working on offering satellite communication feature on its smartphones. Apple has also been working on something similar, which was expected to make its debut with the upcoming iPhone 14. The feature, named “Emergency Message via Satellite,” will reportedly be integrated into the Messages application as a third option along with SMS and iMessage.

The Huawei Mate 50 series flagship smartphones are set to go official in the Chinese market tomorrow, i.e. on 6th September. The devices will also come with support for better photography and will be equipped with Huawei Imaging XMAGE.
