The OnePlus 10T is the company’s flagship for the second half of the year. Despite being a non-Pro model, the phone is likely to be the company’s top-end phone for the next few months. Notably, the OnePlus 10 Pro, which was announced earlier this year, will also be sold in the market, placed at a much more premium price segment. So the 10T will exist in between the OnePlus 10R and the OnePlus 10 Pro.
Given that OnePlus has a flagship in a new price segment, let’s take a look at how the OnePlus 10T compares to the Realme GT 2 Master Explorer edition, which was launched a few weeks ago.
Please note that since the Realme flagship has a pretty long name, throughout this comparison, we’ll just call it the Realme GT 2 Master.

OnePlus 10T vs Realme GT 2 Master Explorer
Design
The OnePlus 10T is a flagship by all means and OnePlus has made sure to make this point by reusing a similar design as its Pro model. The device comes with a slab design with rounded corners and a large camera housing on the top left section of the back. In fact, the only major difference between the OnePlus Pro and the OnePlus 10T at the back is the placement of the LED ring flash. On the Pro model, the flash is near the bottom right camera sensor while on the 10T, it is located on the top right corner. There are two colors available – Moonstone Black, and Jade Green.
Unlike the rounded design profile of the OnePlus 10T, the Realme GT 2 Master utilizes a flatter approach. It comes with a flat-screen up front as well as a flat back. Like most flagships of 2022, the GT 2 Master also comes with a pretty large camera setup at the back. Notably, one of the GT 2 ME models features a plain leather material with a metal casing, making the design pretty unique. There are three colors available for the Realme flagship – Gray, White, and Gold.
In the design department, the Realme GT 2 Master should have an advantage, especially if you opt for the Leather Gold variant. Master editions have always been popular for their standout design, and the leather variant allows you to have a unique design in this monotonous-looking smartphone market.
Display
The two phones have similar OLED displays with similar sizes and resolutions. They come with a 6.7-inch panel with a 120Hz refresh rate and HDR10+ support. However, there’s one big difference in their panels. The Realme GT 2 Master edition model comes with a flat display with super thin bezels while the OnePlus 10T features a curved display.
Your choice between these two smartphones would boil down to your preference for a flat or a curved display.
Specs & Software
Another similarity between these two models is the chipset that powers them. Both the OnePlus 10T and the Realme GT 2 Master edition models come with one of the fastest chipsets in the market today, the Snapdragon 8+ Gen1. In fact, the OnePlus 10T takes things up a notch by offering a 16GB RAM model, unlike the Realme flagship which tops out at 12GB of RAM.
Clearly, gaming and performance-intensive tasks will not be an issue on both the models, so they are pretty much tied in this department. But note that the Realme flagship also features two pressure-sensitive buttons on the side, giving it an edge in the gaming department.
In fact, if you want to read more about the performance of Snapdragon 8+ Gen1 on the GT 2 ME edition, check out our review here.
The OnePlus 10T runs on the Android 12-based OxygenOS 12.1. On the other hand, the Realme GT 2 Master edition comes with the Android 12-based RealmeUI 3.0.
Camera
The OnePlus 10T comes with a 50MP primary shooter with OIS, another 8MP ultra-wide angle camera, and finally, a 2MP macro camera. The Realme GT 2 Master Explorer model comes with a 50MP primary camera, another 50MP Ultra wide-angle camera, and a 40x 3MP macro camera. In our review, we found the GT 2 to have a pretty impressive camera setup and we expect similar performance from the OnePlus 10T as well. However, the Realme model will have an edge in the ultra-wide angle shots, given its powerful 50MP shooter as compared to OnePlus 10T’s 8MP shooter. Finally, the 3MP macro camera on the Realme model is also capable of capturing pretty good closeup shots, even better than the OnePlus 10T.
Both the phones have similar 16MP selfie cameras on the front.
Battery
The OnePlus 10T features a 4800mAh battery capacity with a super-fast 150W charging support. On the other hand, the Realme GT 2 Master Explorer Edition has a 5000mAh battery with up to 100W fast charging.
So it’s clear that these two phones have very fast charging speeds and will offer pretty good battery life too. Unless you want the best charging speed in this segment, both phones should be good enough in this department. Unfortunately, they don’t support wireless charging, which is a bit of a disappointment considering their pricing.
Price
The OnePlus 10T starts at ₹44,999/$649/£629/€699. On the other hand, the Realme GT 2 Master Explorer Edition retails for around the same price at $649/$543.
You can’t really go wrong with either device. Personally, we feel the design and display would be the biggest differentiating factor between these two phones, and your purchase decision would lean towards your preference for a flat or a curved display. Go for the Realme GT 2 Master Explorer edition if you want a leatherback device with a more elegant design profile, powerful performance, and great cameras. Or else, opt for the OnePlus 10T, if you want a familiar OnePlus design profile with maxed-out charging and performance speeds (with up to 16GB of RAM).
OnePlus 10T vs Realme GT 2 Master Explorer Edition: PROs and CONS
Xiaomi has officially launched a new projector under crowdfunding in China. The product is dubbed Xiaomi Projector 2S and is presently open for backing on the Youpin platform. The projector is presently available for 3,199 yuan (~$473) but the price will increase to 3,499 yuan (~$518) after the crowdfunding exercise.
The Xiaomi Projector 2S has 850 ANSI lumens brightness, an FHD (1080P) resolution, and a 100% Rec.709 color gamut. At the same time, the projector supports omnidirectional automatic correction. Thus, whether it is set to flat on a surface, on its side, or mounted on a ceiling, it can automatically project a square picture without manual adjustment.
In terms of performance, this projector uses the Amlogic T982 chip with a peak frequency of 1.9GHz. The processor is paired with 2GB of RAM while there is a 16GB internal storage onboard. Compared with the Amlogic T972, the new chipset on board brings up to 100% improvement in performance.

The Rs 30,000 price range in the Indian tablet market is highly contested right now with brands launching multiple well-rounded devices in this segment. In this price range, customers are usually looking for tablets with a high-resolution, bright display along with seamless performance and great battery life. So, we have compiled a list of tablets that deliver on all these fronts.
Best tablets under ₹30,000
1. Apple iPad 10.2 9th Gen
Apple is the current market leader in global tablet sales, which is mostly thanks to its stylish feature-packed devices and unparalleled software experience on tablets. Considering all that, it is easy to see why the Apple iPad 9th Gen which debuted in 2021 is our best pick on this list.
The tablet has the A13 Bionic chipset that powers the iPhone 11, paired with a 10.2-inch 2160×1620 pixels True Tone Liquid Retina display. It also features the best cameras in the segment. The only downside to this tablet is the internal storage, as this device comes with just 64GB of storage. The tablet has a retail price of ₹30,500 in India but is usually on sale for ₹27,900 on vendors like Amazon and Chroma.
2. Xiaomi Pad 5
Moving over to the Android camp, the Xiaomi Pad 5 is the best Android tablet on the market in this price range. It features a beautiful 11-inch 2.5K display (1600 x 2560 pixels) with a 500nits typical brightness and 120Hz refresh rate.
Under the hood, the tablet has a powerful Snapdragon 860 chipset that can easily handle popular titles like BGMI with ease. It also comes with the Android 11-based MIUI for Pad which as the name suggests has been optimized for tablets. It also has a quad-speaker setup with Dolby Atmos support. The tablet is available in two variants. The 6GB+128GB configuration is priced at ₹26,999 while the 6GB+256GB configuration costs ₹28,999.
3. Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite 2022 edition
The Galaxy Tab S6 Lite is quite identical to its predecessor with the one difference being the chipset. Instead of being powered by an Exynos SoC, the Tab S6 Lite 2022 has the Snapdragon 720G chipset. The tablet has a 10.4-inch TFT LCD display with 2000 x 1200p resolution and supports up to 16 million colors.
It has 4GB of RAM with 64GB of internal storage but gets access to a memory card slot that can expand its storage by up to 1TB. It also gets AKG-tuned Dual stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos, but the most attractive feature of the tablet is that it comes with an S Pen stylus bundled in the box. Another major plus point for the tablet is that it ships with the Android 12-based One UI 4.1. The tablet is available in a WiFi-only model for ₹25499 on Samsung’s website, while the LTE model is expected to arrive soon in the country.
4. Lenovo Ideapad Duet Chromebook
For our last pick in the list, we’ve added a Chrome OS tablet. The Ideapad Duet Chromebook launched 2-years ago, however, it will continue to receive software updates from Google until June 2028.
The tablet has a 10.1-inch LCD screen (1920 x 1200 pixels), MediaTek Helio P60T chip, LPDDR4x RAM, eMMC 5.1 storage, dual-band WiFi, Bluetooth 4.2, 8MP rear camera, 2MP front-facing camera, dual stereo speakers, and a 7,180mAh battery. It could be said that this is the best choice for students in this price range as it ships with a kickstand case and a keyboard accessory in the box. The 4GB + 128GB model costs around ₹25,000.
In the second quarter of 2022 i.e. the period from April to June, smartphone shipments in India grew 3 percent year-on-year basis. 35 million smartphone units were sold during this period. However, the first half of the year recorded 1 percent year-on-year decline to 71 million units according to statistical data from International Data Corporation (IDC).
Although supply chain issues are easing now, IDC attributes the half-yearly decline to the rising inflation resulting in higher market prices.
As for brand performance, Xiaomi maintained its lead with a 20.4 percent market share. However, it is the only vendor in the top five list with a negative growth on a YoY basis during the same period last year. Realme came second with a 17.3 percent market share and a big 23.7 percent year-on-year gain. Vivo bagged the third spot with a 16.9 percent market share. It lead the offline segment with 24 percent and was the second largest 5G smartphone brand in the country. Samsung dropped to the fourth spot with a 16.3 percent share, however, it lead the 5G segment with a 46 percent shipments. OPPO was the fifth in the list with an 11.3 percent market share and a 2.3 percent YoY growth.
IDC says that the supply of 5G smartphones is much better than 4G leading to a higher average selling price but low demand. Online channels clocked a 5 percent YoY growth to 52 percent and this is expected to stay strong for the second half of the year due to the festive season. The ASP has reached a new high of $213 since Q4, 2020. The premium smartphone segment of $500 (~Rs 40,000) and above was the highest growing segment with an 83 percent YoY increase. Apple continued to dominate followed by OnePlus and Samsung.

Another day, another outage for a major tech based company. Google saw a massive outage across the globe, with a number of its services going down like the Google Search service.
This outage had began on Monday night (8th August 2022), with a DownDetectorfinding a surge in number of complaints it received about the Google Search in the US. People using the Search service saw long leading times, empty results, and much more. Out of all the complaints raised, the vast majority of the issues were based on the Search service, while some were also facing issues on some of its other services as well. Furthermore, many people facing this issue took to Twitter to share their experiences with the #GoogleDown and #GoogleOutage tags.
Notably, certain people using the Search service received the “500” error, which basically implies a server problem. Thus, its other services were also affected, including YouTube, Photos, Maps, Drive, Duo, and more. Although, not every region saw these issues. As of right now, it appears that the Search Engine giant is still currently facing some problems, with some users still facing issues in their services sharing their experiences on Twitter. So stick around for more updates regarding this matter.

Previously, this deletion option had been limited to one hour, eight minutes, and sixteen seconds. And now, the Delete for Everyone option will be available for more than 2 days and 12 hours. So, you can still remove your message and have it replaced with “This message was deleted”.
The social media giant announced this update earlier today (9th August 2022). To delete a message, simply press and hold on to the message you wish to delete then select Delete > Delete for everyone.

Recently, we had covered news regarding Nio working on its first ever smartphone. Now, a new report has revealed some interesting details regarding the popular EV maker’s upcoming first smartphone.
According to an ArenaEVreport, sources close to the matter have revealed details regarding the chipset that will power this new handset as well as its charging capacity as well. For those unaware, Nio is a known electric vehicle manufacturer that is based in China. The brand’s founder had revealed that it planned on launching a new phone a year and wanted to make it a high end flagship product.
Now, the latest report has reveled that this Nio branded smartphone will feature a flagship level Snapdragon chipset from Qualcomm. In other words, the most likely candidate that fits the bill is the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC, which is the chipmaker’s latest and greatest smartphone processor. However, considering that the first smartphone in question is set to launch sometime next year, it is also likely that it will launch with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor. Apart from this, the report adds that the smartphone will sport a QHD+ curved display that will have an ultrasonic fingerprint reader and a punch hole camera at the front.
Interestingly, Nio already employs Qualcomm chips for its EV’s infotainment systems. This includes chips like the Snapdragon 8155. The brand has also developed its own custom OS as well for the EV’s interface, so we can also expect the smartphone to feature a custom skin as well.

A few days back, a smartphone called Redmi 11 Prime 5G appeared on Xiaomi India’s website. The same phone has been now spotted in MIUI code as well. As the device’s codename and model number are out, we now know everything about it.
Redmi Note 11E
According to Xiaomiui, the upcoming Redmi 11 Prime 5G for India is codenamed ‘light’ and it bears the model number 22041219I. Going by these details, it is nothing but a rebranded Redmi Note 11E from China.
It is worth noting that the Redmi Note 11E is already available in India with some tweaks in the form of Poco M4 5G. The Poco-branded handset has a different rear design, a better selfie camera, and boots Android 12.
Further, just a couple of days back, the Redmi Note 11E also went official in Indonesia as Redmi 10 5G. This version of the smartphone has no changes in specs, except that it runs Android 12 instead of Android 11.
The Redmi 11 Prime 5G heading to India will most likely be identical to the Redmi 10 5G from Indonesia.
Therefore, the expected features of the phone include a 6.58-inch FHD+ 90Hz display (LCD), MediaTek Dimensity 700 SoC, LPDDR4x RAM, UFS 2.2 storage, 50MP (wide) + 2MP (depth) dual-camera setup, 5MP selfie camera, side-mounted fingerprint sensor, MIUI, 5,000mAh battery, and 18W wired charging support.
Sennheiser has announced new headphones to its lineup of Momentum premium devices, dubbed Sennheiser Momentum 4 Wireless which comes with a new design compared to the previously launched models.
The new noise-canceling headphones have been priced at $349.95 and feature a more modern look compared to the retro aesthetic usually found in previous headphones. The new model is also more lightweight and more comfortable to wear.
The Sennheiser Momentum 4 headphones are now available for pre-order, and the company will start selling this new audio product starting from 23rd August.
The highlight of the headphones is the massive battery life, as the company claims that the Momentum 4s can offer up to 60 hours of playback time on a single charge. The battery life is almost double than what the competitor’s products like Sony WH-1000XM5, Bose QuietComfort 45, Apple AirPods Max offer.
It still uses 42mm drivers that the company says are tuned for “brilliant dynamics, clarity, and musicality.” Sennheiser has also moved away from physical button controls and has adopted the same tap and swipe gestures as other popular noise-canceling headphones. As for the support of Bluetooth codecs, it supports AAC, SBC, aptX, and aptX Adaptive. It features multipoint connectivity, including wired USB-C audio.
There are replaceable ear pads made from artificial leather instead of the genuine leather that Sennheiser used before. Unlike the previous models, the new headphones can no longer fold up, but they now come with an improved case with hardshell protection.
