The upcoming iPhone 14 series from Apple, which is expected to launch in September, could be delayed. A recent report claims that the ongoing political tension between China and Taiwan may cause Apple to postpone the release of the iPhone 14 series.
Everything started when Nancy Pelosi, the Speaker of the US House of Representatives, paid a visit to Taiwan, which China did not like. For those wondering how these elevated political tensions affect the iPhone 14 series launch, Apple outsources the manufacturing of its chipsets to the Taiwanese semiconductor giant TSMC. At the same time, China is the primary location of Apple’s component suppliers for the iPhone.
Apple has reportedly urged its Taiwanese suppliers to adhere to China’s new rules, prohibiting labeling products as “made in Taiwan, China” or “Chinese Taipai.”
Supply shipments from Taiwan to the Pegatron factory in Suzhou, China, which manufactures various products for American companies like Microsoft and Taiwan, have already been halted by China. These shipments are being held up by customs as they check the shipping documentation for any mention of Taiwan or its official “Republic of China” designation.
During her tour to Taiwan, Pelosi was photographed with Pegatron Vice Chairman Jason Chen and other business leaders from the chip industry. A trade war could result from the existing tension and impede the production of the upcoming iPhone before its release.
Google did something unique with the design of the Pixel 6 series. The phones looked like no other from the back. The visor-like camera bar isn’t just aesthetic, but it also gives the Pixel series a new identity. However, it seems Google is going to do more with its phone’s design. As per a popular tipster, big G might be working on a new Pixel smartphone made from ceramic materials.
According to popular Chinese tipster Digital Chat Station, Google is joining hands with Foxconn, the company that also manufactures the iPhone, to build a mysterious Pixel flagship and the long-rumored Pixel foldable phone in China (via 9to5Google).
This comes as a surprise because back in 2020, Google moved its manufacturing operations from China to Vietnam. But what’s more interesting is the tipster’s claim that the unnamed Pixel device in the works will be clad in ceramic materials.
Google has already used plastic, glass, and metal in the phones, but it has never tried its hands on ceramic. So, if the tipster’s claims are anything to go by, we might soon be seeing the first Pixel smartphone with ceramics.
Google Pixel 7 Series
Details about the ceramic Pixel are pretty short, of course. But the tipster suggests it will feature a 2K display with a center punch-hole for the selfie camera. It will be powered by the Tensor 2 chipset which also be found in the upcoming Pixel 7 smartphones.
Further, the device is said to have a 50MP camera and a periscope lens. The tipster also mentions a Sony IMX787 64 MP sensor which would be used for the telephoto camera. It will be interesting to see how this alleged ceramic Pixel will compete against the iPhones and Galaxy S22 Ultras of the world.
Realme has an affordable C- series of smartphones in India. The lineup includes Realme C30, C31, C35, and a bunch of other smartphones. The most recent addition to the series is the Realme C35 which comes with a decent UNISOC processor, IPS LCD panel, 5000mAh battery, and more. Now, a new report suggests that the company might be working on another C-series smartphone called Realme C33 and it may launch very soon.
Appuals, citing sources, claims that an affordable Realme smartphone dubbed Realme C33 may soon make a debut in the Indian market. It is said to be an entry-level device that could be available in three color and storage options.
Realme C35
As per the publication, the device may come in Sandy Gold, Aqua Blue, and Night Sea color variants. In addition, it may come in 3GB RAM + 32GB storage base model, 4GB RAM + 64GB storage mid-tier model, and a top-of-the-line 4GB RAM with 128GB storage variant.
Details about the device’s specifications are still short. However, judging from the moniker and expected storage configurations, the device may carry features similar to its brothers in the series. We can expect it to feature an IPS LCD panel of around 6.6-inch size. It is likely not a performance-oriented phone and may feature a Unisoc processor.
Talking about the cameras, it will likely feature a triple rear camera setup because that’s what the phone industry is into these days. On the software front, it may run Realme UI R Edition, which is based on Android-11 and is optimized for budget smartphones.
Realme C33 will likely be priced under Rs. 14,000 (roughly $177). There has been no official word from Realme about the smartphone so take all these speculations with a pinch of salt. We expect more information to surface online very soon.
An Android tablet with excellent features atop its affordability is a decent proposition from LG. Recall that the Korean company exited the smartphone market a few years back. The LG Ultra Tab is a new Snapdragon 680-powered tablet just announced by the company in Korea. It has a 10.35-inch 2K display, and quad speakers. The new tablet will run on Android 12 out of the box.
The Ultra Tab is a successor to the G Pad series and features a 7.1mm ultra-slim metal body, a 7,040mAh battery, and 8MP/ 5MP rear/ front camera setup. The Ultra Tab has 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage, expandable via a microSD card. The 8MP rear camera is capable of autofocus while the front camera is a fixed focus sensor. Each of the quad 1W speakers of the Ultra Tab combines to deliver a decent audio output. The device also has a 3.5mm audio jack.
The new LG Android tablet has military-grade MIL-STD-810G durability certification and supports 25W fast charging. A Folio case and Wacom Stylus Pen are offered as part of the accessories of the tablet. Both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.1 connectivity are supported in the tablet.
Availability of the LG Ultra Tab is limited at this time to its home market of South Korea. It is priced at KRW 426,000 (~$327). However, the new LG Android tablet is expected to make a global debut subsequently. It currently comes in a single color – Charcoal Grey. Buyers in South Korea can purchase the Ultra Tab from LG’s website with a discount of KRW 50,000 ($38.35) open to members.
A new Android tablet has been added to the range of offerings provided by Teclast. The Teclast P30 Air is powered by the MediaTek Helio P22 8-core chipset and will run on Android 12. The Teclast P30 Air has a 10.1-inch display and a RAM/ storage configuration of 4GB/64GB.
The P30 Air is a pretty affordable tablet with a decent 1,920 x 1,200 pixels display with a 60Hz refresh rate and a 120Hz touch sampling rate. It offers up to 300 nits of brightness and the display is protected by a 7.8mm chassis made from durable metal materials. The tablet is powered by the mid-range MediaTek Helio P22 MT6762 chip paired with 64GB of internal storage that is expandable via microSD. The P30 Air supports 4G network connectivity and has a dual-SIM module.
The tablet has an 8MP rear camera and a 5MP front camera. It features GPS connectivity and it is unclear whether the device will be upgradable to higher Android versions subsequently.
The Teclast P30 Air will be available via AliExpress for $119.99 but the final cost may vary after taxes and import duties are added. The new budget Teclast tablet will go on sale later this month. There is currently a raft of affordable Android tablets with decent features in the market. The new Teclast tablet, however, comes pretty cheap. Its extended features and durability could possibly endear the P30 Air to the market.
Chipmaker Qualcomm has had a strong performance amidst the global chip crisis and the corona virus pandemic. The company unveiled two premium chips that are highly sought out among OEMs. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chips are top-end high-performance SoCs. Riding on the crest of its strong showing, Qualcomm has announced a new sponsorship deal with English club Manchester United. The company says it is a multi-year global strategic collaboration with one of the most popular football clubs in the world. The new arrangement will further help to establish the Snapdragon chipset lineup.
At the moment, Qualcomm is neither directly manufacturing any smartphone nor retailing direct products to consumers. It is also unlikely that the company will delve into phone production at the moment. It is therefore unclear what the specifics of the new sponsorship entail. Qualcomm will hope to leverage the wide global followership of the Manchester United brand to further market its chips. This strategic partnership could further establish the Snapdragon brand, although it seems to be ahead of any other competition with the top-notch Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1.
Qualcomm says that the new strategic collaboration will create unique events and experiences for fans at Old Trafford and across the globe. The collaboration will also see Qualcomm providing technical support for the club’s planned improvements to mobile connectivity at Old Trafford. This could afford the deployment of Snapdragon platforms to enable ground-breaking experiences for Manchester United fans around the world. So, we might see some Snapdragon branding within Manchester United from this season onwards.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 series is the successor to last year’s Galaxy Watch 4 series and will consist of two smartwatches: the standard Galaxy Watch 5 and Galaxy Watch 5 Pro.
Although the upcoming smartwatches have not yet been officially teased nor have their design formally revealed by Samsung yet, we already know all the details about Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Watch 5 series via electronics safety certification databases and leaks online. In today’s article, here at Gizmochina, we have gathered all the info, pricing, specs and design renders that are available online so far.
Galaxy Watch 5 Series Design and Specs
Let’s start with the design, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 and 5 Pro sport a circular screen form factor like its predecessor the Galaxy Watch 4, however this year, both the Galaxy Watch 5 and 5 Pro will not feature the rotating bezel found on the previous generation Galaxy Watch 3 Classic and Galaxy Watch 4 Classic.

Colours for the Galaxy Watch 5 series can be described as suited for those who are sporting a youthful and active lifestyle. For the standard model, leaked official renders online show that the Galaxy Watch 5 will be available in four colours: Gold, Purple, Navy Green and Blue.

Under the hood, we expect the Galaxy Watch 5 series to sport similar internals to the Galaxy Watch 4 series. For context, the Galaxy Watch 4 featured Samsung’s industry-leading Exynos W920 smartwatch SoC, with 1.5 GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage.
Endurance on the hand, both the Watch 5 and 5 Pro are said to have better battery life than its predecessor.

Lastly, both watches will run Google’s latest wearOS 3.5 skinned with Samsung’s One UI Watch 4.5.

Samsung really changed the fate of foldable smartphones with its Galaxy Z Flip 3. The phone came at a reasonable price and featured the same processor as the Galaxy S21 series. It felt like the first foldable that actually appealed to the masses. Now, the company is ready to bring the successor to the Flip 3 and it definitely has big shoes to fill in.
The company hasn’t announced the foldable by name, but some promising rumors, press renders, and leaks have already revealed a lot about the upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 4. So, here’s everything that we know so far.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 Launch Date
Just like last year, Samsung is said to announce the next Galaxy Z Flip this August. The company is holding its Galaxy Unpacked event on August 10th at 9 AM and that’s when we can expect the Galaxy Z Flip 4 to launch. Alongside it, we’ll likely see the Galaxy Z Fold 4, Galaxy Watch 5 series, and some new earbuds.
The launch date is almost certain because the promotional images and teasers clearly show us the silhouette of a foldable that clearly looks like a Flip phone. In addition, Samsung’s smartphone head also teased new foldables in a recent blog post.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 Design
Numerous leaks and renders suggest that the design of the Galaxy Z Flip 4 will be almost identical to its predecessor. Sure, the device will carry a few changes here and there but nothing too prominent. The foldable is said to have tweaked dimensions, it will be slightly smaller and thicker with dimensions of 165.1 x 71.9 x 7.2mm.

We can expect the Flip 4 to feature a cover display placed in a black strip up top, along with the two cameras. The internal folding screen will likely be 6.7-inches while the cover screen is said to be bumped from 1.83-inches up to 1.9-inches. Moreover, rumors suggest that the crease will likely be less noticeable. The hinge on the device is said to be slightly thinner but there will still be a gap between the two sides of the smartphone when it’s folded closed.

The device is said to be coming in Graphite, Bora Purple, Pink Gold, and Blue colorways. Moreover, reports suggest that Samsung will bring back the “Bespoke edition” which will allow people to customize the color of the front, back, and frame of the phone.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 Specifications
The specifications of the Galaxy Z Flip 4 are all over the internet. The device is said to feature a foldable AMOLED 2X display that will offer a Full HD+ resolution of 2640 x 1080 pixels and 120Hz refresh rate.
If we talk about the processor, the Z Flip 4 will likely draw power from a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 Soc and since the launch of Moto Razr 2022 is postponed, it may even get the title of the world’s first foldable device to feature this processor. The device could come with at least 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of built-in storage. The device will likely match the performance of Samsung’s Galaxy S22 series, in fact, it may even outperform them.

The device is expected to carry a slightly bigger battery than its predecessor. Leaks suggest it will be backed by 3700mAh dual-cell battery. The device is expected to support a maximum of 25W fast wired charging and sluggish 10W wireless charging.
On the software front, the device will run Android 12L based on One UI 4 out of the box. For the unversed, Android 12L is a version of Android that is optimized for foldable devices. The device will receive 3 years of Android updates and 5 years of security updates (If it lasts that long).
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 Cameras
From what we know so far, the Galaxy Z Flip 4 will likely come with the same set of cameras as the previous Galaxy Z Flip 3. However, the Galaxy Z Fold 4, which is launching alongside the device, is rumored to flaunt several camera improvements.
The device is expected to have the same 12-megapixel main camera, 12-megapixel ultra-wide, and 10-megapixel selfie shooter as that of its predecessor. But it is possible that the new snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset that is said to be under the hood of the Flip 4 may bring new camera features and better photo and video quality.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 Price
The Galaxy Z Flip 4 is said to have only a minor increase in pricing. Samsung understands that in order to make foldables mainstream, it has to keep the prices under control. We think consumers will be more than happy to purchase the new Galaxy Z Flip 4 if the prices are somewhat similar to its predecessor.
A Report suggests the Galaxy Z Flip 4 will be priced at €1109 for the base 128GB variant. The 256 GB storage model is said to come at a price of €1169 (roughly $1191).
So OnePlus 10T hitten the shelves all around the world. Unlike the 10 series composed of at least two models in the global market, this device is alone and it comes with the typical specifications of flagship killers. So you get the max performance but a few compromises when it comes to the display and the cameras, in order to obtain a competitive price. Before this deivce, OnePlus released a top-tier premium flagship: the OnePlus 10 Pro. Given that it is older, the new 10T has a few advantages over the predecessor, but the Pro variant remains a top-tier flagship. So which one to buy and which offers the highest value for money? We will try to answer this question appropriately by giving you this comparison between the main specifications of the OnePlus 10T and the OnePlus 10 Pro.

Design
At first glance, the OnePlus 10T and the OnePlus 10 Pro have the same look. But there are a few important differences you should consider. First of all, there is no doubt about the fact that the OnePlus 10 Pro is the winner of the design comparison. It offers two main advantages: the presence of a curved screen at the sides, and the presence of an aluminum frame, as well as a rear glass protected by Gorilla Glass Victus. The OnePlus 10T comes with a glass back as well, but it is protected by Gorilla Glass 5 and the frame is made of plastic. Further, the phone is thicker, even though it has a smaller battery. So the Pro variant is definitely better in terms of aesthetics. Note that the U.S. version of the OnePlus 10 Pro comes with the IP68 certification making it dustproof and waterproof, while the 10T and the other global variants of the 10 Pro do not offer a certification against water and dust.
Display
One of the most important advantages of the OnePlus 10 Pro over the OnePlus 10T is the display. First of all, it comes with a higher Quad HD+ resolution of 1440 x 3216 pixels. Further, it has the LTPO 2.0 enabling an adaptive refresh rate from 1 to 120 Hz. The 10T has a lower Full HD+ resolution and it lacks the LTPO technology. For the rest, the two AMOLED panels are not so different. They are able to show up to one billion colors and they support the HDR10+ certification, as well as an in-display fingerprint reader. These phones also come with good stereo speakers for an improved audio experience. Note that the display of the Pro variant is protected by Gorilla Glass Victus just like the glass back, while the 10T has the weaker Gorilla Glass 5 protection.
Specs & Software
When it comes to the hardware, the OnePlus 10T is the winner of this comparison. Indeed, it has a more powerful chipset: the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 found on the 10T is actually an upgraded version of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 found on the OnePlus 10 Pro. It is a chipset built with a 4 nm production process sporting an octa-core architecture. It is composed of a Cortex X2 CPU running at a max frequency of 3.19 GHz, three Cortex A710 CPUs running at 2.85 GHz, and four Cortex A510 CPUs running at 1.8 GHz, as well as an Adreno 730 GPU. The chipset is paired with up to 16 GB of RAM, while the max amount of RAM found on the Pro version is 12 GB. The software is the same and there is not any change: Android 12 customized by OxygenOS 12.1.
Camera
The camera setup of the OnePlus 10 Pro is actually more advanced than the one found on the 10T. It is composed of a 48 MP main camera with OIS and laser autofocus, an 8 MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom and OIS, and a 50 MP ultrawide camera with a FOV of 150 degrees, all with the Hasselblad Camera for Mobile features such as realistic color calibration and XPan mode. The cameras of the OnePlus 10T are not co-engineered with Hasselblad and, while the main sensor is a more interesting 50 MP Sony IMX766 camera, the secondary sensor are way inferior with their 8 + 2 MP resoultion. The OnePlus 10T loses even when it comes to the selfie camera, with a 16 MP snapper instead of a 32 MP one.
The OnePlus 10 Pro provides a longer battery life thanks to its bigger 5000 mAh battery, but the 10T charges faster thanks to 150W fast charging. However, the 10T lacks the 50W wireless charging technology found on the Pro variant.
Price
The OnePlus 10T is priced at €720/$720 in its base variant (prices vary depending on the market, while the OnePlus 10 Pro can currently be found at about €800/$800 thanks to online street prices. Now you know the differences: which one would you pick?
Samsung is gearing up for the Galaxy Unpacked event scheduled for August 10. The company is expected to launch many new devices at this event, however, the show-stopper will undoubtedly be the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4. So, let’s take a look at what we know so far about the upcoming foldable flagship.
Design & display
Design-wise, the Galaxy Z Fold 4 is expected to look quite similar to the Galaxy Z Fold 3, but with a slightly slimmer body compared to the previous generation. It is also said to have 6.1 x 5.1 x 0.27 inches (155 x 130 x 7.1 mm) dimensions, which would make it a little shorter but wider and thicker than its predecessor. Other than these differences, the smartphone will ditch the camera module design of the previous generation in favor of a design more akin to that of the Galaxy S22 Ultra.
Coming to the display, leaks so far suggest that the smartphone will have 6.2 inches (exterior) and 7.6 inches (interior) display panels like the Galaxy Z Fold 3, however, it is said to have a 6:5 aspect ratio, which is more square compared to the 5:4 ratio found on the current gen foldable. The outer display is expected to have an HD+ AMOLED panel, while the inner display will likely offer a QXGA+ AMOLED panel. Both displays are expected to carry support for a refresh rate of 120Hz.
Specs
Under the hood, the smartphone will house Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8+ Gen Plus SoC which is built on TSMC’s industry-leading 4nm node and boasts up to 30% battery efficiency compared to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip. The chipset will come paired with either 12GB or 16GB RAM and will be available in 256GB and 512GB storage options.
The device is said to have a 4,400mAh capacity battery with 25W fast charging. On the software front, the foldable will get an Android 12-based UI packed with features like an easy split screen and bottom-mounted taskbar which are features introduced with Android 12L.
Cameras
Rumors surrounding the cameras suggest that the Galaxy Z Fold 4 will have a triple camera setup on the back consisting of a 50-megapixel main camera, a 12-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a 12-megapixel telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom support.
The device is said to have a 10-megapixel front-facing camera on the outer display, however, the under-display camera on the foldable’s inner panel has leakers divided. Some suggest that the company will offer an improved 16-megapixel under-display camera on the device, while others state that it’ll be the same 4-megapixel sensor featured on the Galaxy Z Fold 3.
Pricing
So far, reliable tipsters like Ross Young have stated that there is a chance of a price cut with the upcoming foldable from Samsung including the Galaxy Z Fold 4. This would be quite the welcome news considering the fact that the Galaxy Z Fold 3 debuted with a starting price of $1,799.
However, recent leaks from European retailers suggest that the device will be getting a price hike rather than a price cut, starting at €1,799 for the 256GB storage model, while the 512GB model is said to cost €1919. We would suggest our readers take these pricing leaks with a pinch of salt and stay tuned for the official reveal scheduled for August 10.
