This too has been now confirmed in a teaser. The laptop will be also offered with an optional unnamed dedicated NVIDIA GPU.

Going by the renders, the notebook will look near identical to last year’s Mi NoteBook Pro and Mi NoteBook Ultra. It will likely sport a metal unibody design and its form factor should be thin and light. Last but not least, it will come with a thunderbolt port (over USB Type-C), a full-size HDMI port, and a 3.5mm headphone jack.

We are still a few days away from the launch. Therefore, we are looking forward to learning even more about the product.

Sony is currently known for releasing three smartphones a year: Xperia 1, Xperia 10, and Xperia 5. The fourth generation (IV) of the former two models was announced a few months back. Now, as we are halfway through the year, the company may finally release the new iteration of the latter handset since it seems to have been certified by FCC.

An upcoming Sony smartphone has been spotted on FCC by Sumaho Digest (via NotebookCheck). This device is said to launch as Xperia 5 IV.

As per the listing, the phone’s display will measure 153.5mm diagonally, which roughly translates to 6-inch. Further, it will come equipped with a 3.5mm headphone jack and a USB Type-C port.

Further, the handset will offer WiFi 6 and NFC with support for FeliCa for the Japanese market. Interestingly, it will also carry support for wireless charging. For the unaware, its predecessors were limited to wired charging.

Unfortunately, that’s all the information we have on the Sony Xperia 5 IV for now. It is not known whether the device will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip or Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 SoC.

However, we can expect it to come with a 120Hz OLED display, IP68 water resistance, a triple camera system, and dual stereo speakers. The phone could be announced at the IFA trade show, which is scheduled for September 2 to 6.

Apple MacBook Pro 14-inch and 16-inch models set to enter mass production this year

Apple has already announced the M2 chipset under its Apple Silicon lineup and has also launched the first MacBook powered by the new processor. Now, the company is gearing up to expand the lineup of Mac devices with the M2 series chips.

In line with that, it is being reported that the Cupertino-based technology giant is all set to start the mass production of Apple MacBook Pro 14-inch and MacBook Pro 16-inch models powered by the new chipset sometime in the fourth quarter of this year.

Apple MacBook Pro

The new report coming from analyst Ming-Chi Kuo also adds that the company won’t be using the 3nm chipset produced by TSMC but will instead stick with the 5nm chip. This contradicts previous reports which claimed that the M2 Pro and Max would be manufactured using TSMC’s 3nm process.

The Apple MacBook Pro 14-inch and MacBook Pro 16-inch models were launched by the company last year, powered by the M1 Pro and M1 Max chips. So, we expect the upcoming refreshed version of the laptop to be powered by the M2 Pro and M2 Max processors.

Whatever the case, it’s almost confirmed that TSMC will soon start manufacturing new chips for Apple based on the 3nm process, and it’s just a matter of time to see which MacBook device ends up being the first to come powered by the 3nm chips.

Xiaomi 13 series specs (rumored)

A recent leak revealed that Xiaomi 13 series will come powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset. This chipset is expected to be revealed in November, so we will likely see the Xiaomi 13 series debut around November as well. The device will likely reach the global markets early next year.

Google Pixel 6a performed well in JerryRigEverything’s durability tests

The recently released Google Pixel 6a has appeared on JerryRigEverything’s YouTube channel. That means that the device has been put through the paces of several durability tests. A short YouTube video from the channel detailed the durability tests, and the Pixel 6a performed well.Google Pixel 6a

The Pixel 6s had been the subject of intense speculations before its eventual release. The JerryRigEverything video lasted for about 6 minutes. The durability tests included scratch, heat, and bend tests. Overall, the Pixel 6a had a decent performance. The scratch test began by testing the phone’s Gorilla Glass 3 display. A level 6 pick was able to scratch the glass and deeper grooves at level 7. This underscores the vulnerability of the Gorilla Glass 3 protection. However, the fingerprint scanner still retained its ability to pick fingerprints.

The video showed the phone’s metal frames and plastic antenna lines around it. There is also a black rubber ring on the SIM card tray as protection against water. The camera visor of the Pixel 6a is covered by plastic material, while the phone’s backplate is also made of plastic. The plastic-covered areas of the Pixel 6a are much more susceptible to scratches than the glass components. The flame test resulted in a staying time of 10 seconds for the phone under direct heat. This also resulted in the pixels turning off but seems to have recovered afterward.

The Pixel 6a did not break during the bend test. It withstood pressure from the front and back sides. There was minimal dispersion of the display but it reverted to its original position quickly. On the whole, the Google Pixel 6a passed the JerryRigEverything durability tests.
