Huawei records over 1 million reservations for its flagship Mate 50 series

Since the US imposed various sanctions against Huawei, the company’s smartphone operations has been struggling and even saw a massive decline in the market. But it seems that the brand has not completely abandoned its smartphone business and its next generation of flagship model, the Mate 50 series, is already gaining some hype.

 

Due to the changes in US export rules, the major foundries were also banned from shipping cutting edge technology that used US based tech to the Chinese tech giants. This is why Huawei was forced to use Qualcomm’s latest and greatest Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoCs, with its 5G capabilities disabled. The 4G only Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor will also power the Huawei’s upcoming 2022 flagship Mate 50 series.

Since the brand had suffered a major blow on its smartphones operations, the company had began focusing on only launching one flagship series in a year. At the moment, Huawei is expected to release the Mate 50 series, which includes 4 models, on 6th September 2022. But prior to the announcement, the brand started taking reservations for the Mate 50 lineup from its official website in China as well as its other e-commerce partners.

And looking at these reservations, we can see that more than 1 million people have already signed up for the Mate 50 series. In other words, this basically means that the company still has a loyal customer base in its home market of China. To be fair, reservations does not imply sales directly like pre-orders. But this still helps showcase the popularity of the brand in the region.

Google is long rumored to be working on a new Pixel Watch that will compete in the smartwatch market. Now, a new report has revealed that the smart wearable will launch alongside the Pixel 7 series and even revealed its possible price tag as well.

For comparison, Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 5 starts from 329 US Dollars for the LTE version, while the higher end Galaxy Watch 5 Pro has a price tag of 499 US Dollars. Similarly, the Apple Watch Series 7 LTE version has a price tag of 499 US Dollars for its cellular enabled variant.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 series tablets start receiving Android 12L update

Samsung recently launched the Galaxy Z Fold 4 smartphone, making it the first smartphone from the brand to come with Android 12L out-of-the-box. Now, the company is rolling it out to its tablets.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 series tablets have become the first tablet from the South Korean giant to receive the Android 12L software update with One UI 4.1.1.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra

The update is currently being rolled out to Galaxy Tab S8, Tab S8+, and Tab S8 Ultra in Europe. Both the versions of the tablet — cellular and Wi-Fi are eligible for this new update that is being rolled out.

The report from SamMobile reveals that the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 comes with firmware version X70xBXXU2AVH2, while the Galaxy Tab S8+ model is getting the update with firmware version X80xBXXU2AVH5. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra is getting the update with firmware version X90xBXXU2AVH2.

Along with the new version of the Android, the update also comes with the August 2022 security patch. The size of the update is also pretty large at 2.3GB, which means you will need about 2.5GB of free storage on the device.

Android 12L was announced at the Android Developer Summit last year, which brings an optimized user interface for large-screen devices such as tablets, foldable, and Chrome OS devices. Google says it has refined the UI to make Android more beautiful and easier to use on screens larger than 600sp.

Xiaomi adds Mi 8, Mi 9 & Redmi 7A to its End-of-Support (EOS) list

Xiaomi, like other big brands, offers a limited lifespan of software updates and upgrades for devices. As one set comes under the hammer, new and improved products emerge to fill the void. The Xiaomi Mi 8, Mi 9, and Redmi 7A are among the new additions to this list. The trio will not receive any security or MIUI interface updates beginning on August 25.

The Redmi 7A and Mi 8 were both launched in 2018 while the Mi 9 was launched in 2019. Owners of the Mi 8, Mi 9, and Redmi 7A did not receive the newest MIUI 13 update from Xiaomi. The models did, however, receive MIUI 12.5 as the most recent upgrade. This news will come as a shocker to Mi 9 owners who are expecting that the flagship device will get one or two more updates before the company pulls the plug on software support. In fairness, the phone was launched just 27 months back, meaning the company only provided software support for a little over two years. Xiaomi

The end-of-support list is a constantly changing list of older devices that have completed their software life cycle. Most OEMs limit firmware upgrades to two major upgrades per device during its lifespan. This could take several years. Xiaomi’s End-of-Support (EOS) list currently includes 43 Mi and 38 Redmi smartphones, bringing the total number of devices to 81.

Apple iPhone 14 Pro models to come with support for 30W charging

Apple is all set to launch its next-generation iPhone 14 series in a couple of weeks and the company has already scheduled an event on 7th September where the new phones will be unveiled along with the Apple Watch Series 8.

Ahead of the official announcement of smartphones, almost everything has been leaked online. With just a few more days before the launch, we are still getting some more information about the smartphones.

Apple iPhone 14 Pro

In the latest development, it is claimed that the upcoming iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max smartphones will come with support for 30W charging. This indicates a significant jump from 20W charging in its predecessor.

The report comes as an unnamed brand is sending out 30W iPhone 14 chargers to the media for early access and review. This leads to making everyone belive that the upcoming phones will have 30W charging support.

A Twitter user Kioriku claims that the next iPhone 14 Pro models will support 30W charging for the first bit of a charge cycle but will then drop down to 27W or 25W.

Apple has been trying to increase the charging speed for the past couple of releases. The iPhone 11 models support 18W charging, which was increased to 20W with the iPhone 12 models, and now we are expecting 30W charging for the iPhone 14 models.

While the 30W charging will significantly reduce the charging time for the smartphones, Apple is still far behind what the Android flagship smartphones offer in terms of fast charging technology.

The Xenon Flex is the culmination of a collaboration between Corsair and LG. The model has a 45-inch LG W-OLED panel that can deliver a maximum brightness of 1,000 nits. The contrast ratio of the new monster gaming monitor is 1.35 million: 1 which is what we expect from an OLED display. The super-fast response times and high refresh rates are quite impressive for the machine.

The Corsair Xenon Flex draws similarities with the LG UltraGear 45GR95QE, but with a slightly better performance rating. The AMD FreeSync and NVIDIA G-SYNC will help to prevent image tearing during gaming sessions. The monitor has an 800R curvature but has handles on its frame for manually adjusting the degree of curvature.

We are still in the dark about the expected release date and pricing for the new Corsair flagship. It is unclear whether the model will be launched later this year, but we expect more official details later. Other details of the Xenon Flex cannot be independently validated until the model becomes available commercially.
