The Moto X30 Pro (Motorola Frontier, also known as the Moto Edge 30 Ultra for the international market) and the foldable Moto Razr 2022 will be unveiled during a Motorola event on August 2 in China. Prior to that, the business posted a teaser on Weibo that shows the Moto X30 Pro’s design and black color choice.
The 200MP camera on this Motorola phone will make it the first smartphone in the world to have a triple rear camera setup: 200MP primary, 50MP secondary, and 12MP third. Earlier, the company’s general manager Chen Jin revealed a sample image from the 200MP camera on the Moto X30 Pro and verified that a 1/1.22-inch sensor was there.
The Motorola logo is located on the curved back panel of the Moto X30 Pro, which sports a triple rear camera arrangement, an LED flash, and a square camera island. It has a curved display with a selfie camera in the center of the front. On the right side, next to the volume rocker, is a power button.
The 6.73-inch Full-HD+ AMOLED display on the Moto X30 Pro offers a 144Hz refresh rate. The device is powered by a 4,500mAh battery with 125W charging capabilities and is controlled by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor. It has 256GB of storage, and 12GB of RAM, and launches MyUX based on Android 12 right out of the box.
Price and availability
The Moto X30 Pro is available in Black and is estimated to cost roughly EUR 899. (Approx. Rs 71,500).
Ahead of the scheduled unveiling of the OnePlus 10T on August 3, more details of the smartphone have been released. The OnePlus 10T will come with 16GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. The RAM capacity of the new device is an improvement from previous OnePlus devices.
OnePlus says the 10T brings effortless multitasking to the fore as users can juggle up to 35 apps without drawbacks. The 10T is a flagship offering that will come with the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset. Such capability from a smartphone is indeed impressive. However, the 10T needs to be put through stress testing to ascertain the claims of the company. There are still lots of details still lacking for the OnePlus 10T. The detailed specs sheet will put its RAM capacity and chipset’s power in greater perspective.
Having 35 browser tabs open is cool, but have you tried opening 35 apps on your phone? The #OnePlus10T is a master at multitasking.
We already know that the 10T will have a 120Hz display refresh rate, a punch hole at the center, and a 360-degree antenna architecture. It will have a 50MP primary rear camera together with an 8MP ultrawide sensor, and a 2MP macro. As the August 3 release date draws closer, we expect to see more details about the OnePlus 10T including pricing and global availability.
Traditionally, OnePlus will likely name the 10T model for the Chinese market differently from the global version. This could be the OnePlus Ace Pro which will also launch on August 3.
Samsung has been hyping its cutting-edge foldable phone series’ upcoming smartphones. Unofficial leaks and authorized teasers alike flooded the media in July with information regarding Samsung’s forthcoming Galaxy Unpacked event. Samsung has now released its newest, even lengthier official trailer for Galaxy Unpacked, which will take place before the South Korean tech giant unveils the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4 on August 10.
This 45-second commercial, like the one we saw yesterday, plays on the slogan “flex is better than flat,” indicating that a foldable smartphone would be preferable to a drab old glass-sandwich model. The video supports the overall trend of design that we’ve seen in leaks, with these next foldables mainly mimicking the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Flip 3.
The Flip 4 will likely be available in four pastel colors: blue, black, beige, and lavender. The Galaxy Z Flip 4 and Galaxy Z Fold 4 will likely share the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+ CPU at their core. While leaking renders indicate a larger cover display, a larger battery would also be a nice feature.
There is always a cost associated with change, and this year, it is believed that Samsung would raise its prices. Even so, there will undoubtedly be some alluring deals, reductions for trade-in vehicles, and extras to help make the purchase worthwhile, such as the $200 reservation credit that is now accessible. The foldables will likely be the main draw during Unpacked, but Samsung is also anticipated to present the Galaxy Watch 5 and the most recent version of the Galaxy Buds Pro.
Samsung is planning to launch a new lower mid-range 5G smartphone in the global market called the Samsung Galaxy A23 5G. So far, the device has made an appearance on FCC, BIS, and Geekbench databases, hinting at an imminent launch.

Xiaomi introduced a new design language with the release of MIUI 12. The company did not make any major changes to the design with the subsequent releases like MIUI 12.5, MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition, and MIUI 13. But the upcoming MIUI 14 will finally bring major changes to the user interface, as per a report.
Redmi K50G running MIUI 13
A report by Xiaomiui details the design language of MIUI 14. The report relies on the pre-release beta version of MIUI system apps. For the unaware, Xiaomi introduces new features and changes initially via beta versions of MIUI system applications and weekly MIUI Beta releases.
The MIUI 14 design language will have a bold font and will look more modern with card-based UI. The frequently used apps that are getting a design overhaul are Gallery, Clock, and App Vault.
Further, the design of widget picker, launcher settings menu, APK installer, and permission dialog box will be also tweaked. Apart from looks, MIUI 14 will also bring certain new features.
MIUI 14 will have support for bubble notifications, however, it could be limited to tablets and foldables. The next iteration of MIUI will also bring support for Qualcomm LE Audio, Anti Fraud Protection, and text recognition as well as ‘On this day’ features in the Gallery app.
Starting with MIUI 12.5, Xiaomi allows users to uninstall a wide range of system applications. With MIUI 14, users will be also able to uninstall the Clock app.
Unfortunately, that’s all the information we have on MIUI 14 so far. Visit Xiaomiui for all the screenshots.
MIUI 14 is rumored to go official in November alongside the Xiaomi 13 series powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC.
OnePlus Ace Pro is set to launch in China on August 3rd. It will debut as the OnePlus 10T in the global markets. Apart from the different monikers, the upcoming flagship will likely pack the same specifications. The brand has been revealing key features of the smartphone on its official website leading up to the launch event.
In the latest development, the OnePlus Ace Pro will debut as the industry-first phone with an eight-channel vapour chamber. The heat sink adopts an eight-channel full-through design and the area of VC is as high as 5177mm.

Galaxy S23 Ultra Concept Render by Technizo Concept
The chipmaking giant basically confirmed the rumors during the Q&A session with analysts after it shred its quarterly financial report. When asked about the renewal of chip supply deal with Samsung, Qualcomm’s CEO stated that the chips are already being supplied to the South Korean tech giant. He further CEO Cristiano Amon further added that “And what I can say at this point is we were 75% on Galaxy S22 before the agreement. You should be thinking about we’re going to be much better than that on Galaxy S23 and beyond.”
Notably, this chip deal is a 7 year extension and will also include processors that are outside of Galaxy smartphones like “Galaxy books, Windows PCs, Galaxy tablets, future extended reality devices and other devices.” Amon said that this is “a very significant agreement, very excited and really the companies are much closer together.” In other words, its a multiyear agreement signed by both parties and we can also expect it to include 6G components as well in the future.
Apart from this, the previous rumors had hinted at the Exynos 2230 5G modem under performing compared to Snapdragon X70 modem is one of reasons why Samsung chose to sign an exclusivity deal with Qualcomm. The latter’s flagship chipsets will also be based on the advanced 4nm process from TSMC, which should also deliver improved energy consumption and better performance than any other chip currently in the market.
We have recently covered a number of reports regarding the Samsung Galaxy A04s. Now, the latest news is regarding the leaked live images of the device, which offers us a closer look at its design.
The live images were shared by 91Mobiles, revealing the full design of the smartphone. Looking at these images, we can make out the camera cutout as well as the ports as well. The report adds that the South Korean tech giant’s new Galaxy A04s model will carry the model number SM-A047. We have already reported on the upcoming budget smartphone beginning production in India.
The rear panel will be made out of plastic but with textured patterns. Its power button will be housed on the right while the front packs a waterdrop notch for the selfie camera. Other features include, a triple camera setup on the back paired with an LED flash, 3.5mm headphone jack, USB Type C port for charging and data transfer, as well as bottom firing speakers.
From what we already know about the device, we can expect the Galaxy A04s to be equipped with an Exynos 850 SoC. This chipset will be paired with 3GB of RAM and the handset will run on Android 12 OS. The front will likely sport an LCD panel owing to its budget category and it is rumored to support just 15W fast charging as well.
The OnePlus 9RT was launched in China in October 2021. It made its way to India in January 2022. The smartphone debuted with Android 11-based ColorOS 11 in China and OxygenOS 11 in India. Nine months after its initial release, the handset has now finally started receiving the Android 12 stable update.
The Android 12 stable update for the OnePlus 9RT is live in both China and India. In the former country, the latest software update brings ColorOS 12, whereas, in the latter, it arrives with OxygenOS 12.
The update is being rolled out in batches and should reach all users in the coming days. The Android 12 stable update for the phone comes within a month from the rollout of the Android 12 beta update.
The update arrives with the firmware version C.04 in both China and India. It is not surprising as OxygenOS is now basically ColorOS with some tweaks here and there.
OnePlus’ global wing hasn’t made an official announcement on OnePlus Community as of writing this article. On the other hand, the update rollout began in China last week.
The OnePlus 7 series and the OnePlus 7T series are the next in line to receive the Android 12 stable update. These four devices are scheduled to get the update in August.
LeBest, an entry-level Chinese smartphone brand just launched the LeBest X14 Pro Max. Some smartphone manufacturers who use Android are frequently criticized for supposedly mimicking Apple.
(SOURCE: https://item.jd.com/100027899751.html )
According to MacRumors, The X14 Pro Max, available for under $150, is the most recent gadget that attempts to profit from the popularity of the iPhone by copying several of its design cues. The “X14 Pro Max” moniker, an apparent reference to the impending iPhone 14 Pro Max, is only the first of many design choices that precisely resemble Apple’s premium iPhone models.
Like the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro, the gadget has a back camera module with three lenses placed in a triangle, a flash above the right lens, and a notch meant to resemble a LiDAR scanner below it. The phone sports a frosted glass back and a polished stainless steel frame, just like the iPhone 11 Pro, 12 Pro, and 13 Pro.
In addition to these similarities, the LeBest X14 Pro Max varies from the iPhone in that it has a 16-megapixel back camera, a rear display adjacent to the camera array, and a hole-punch cutout for the front-facing camera, support for 40W fast charging, and a side-mounted fingerprint scanner.
With a 6.5-inch LCD screen, a resolution of 2340 x 1080 pixels, a 60Hz refresh rate, and an 8-megapixel front camera, it is substantially less expensive than the iPhone in terms of technology and specs. In place of Google, the gadget is made to use Huawei Mobile Services.
With the exception of Gold, the device’s color selections are identical to those of the iPhone 13 Pro. These include “Graphite” grey, silver, and a “Sapphire Blue” that closely resembles Apple’s Sierra Blue. The X14 Pro Max’s marketing materials from LeBest employ Apple’s same iPhone 13 Pro wallpaper, which is the most obvious similarity.
Motorola is gearing up to launch new flagship smartphones in China soon. But prior to the official announcement, the company has shared a new teaser, which has revealed that the Moto X30 Pro will be the first smartphone to feature a 200 megapixel camera.
The company shared a new teaser on Weibo (a Chinese microblogging website). Looking at the new teaser, we can see that the device will feature an impressive 125W GaN fast charging support. For those unaware, the GaN chargers are more power efficient, more compact, and powerful as well compared to the typical silicon based batteries. The same social media post also revealed that the Moto X30 Pro will be the first smartphone in history to feature a massive 200 megapixel primary sensor on the rear.
Unfortunately, this was all the information revealed by the new teaser. However, we have previous reports to go on for the upcoming high end smartphone’s expected specifications. The X30 Pro model is rumored to sport a 6.73 inch pOLED display panel that will have a center aligned punch hole selfie camera. The display will also support 144Hz high refresh rate as well. The Moto X30 Pro will also equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC that is paired with up to 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage.
On the rear, the device will have a 200 megapixel primary sensor that might be paired with a 50 megapixel ultra wide angle lens, and a 12 megapixel telephoto lens. Meanwhile, the front packs a 60 megapixel selfie shooter. Other features include, a 4,500mAh battery pack that supports 125W fast charging, Android 12 OS based MyUI 4.0 out of the box, and a USB Type C port.
According to a MySmartPricereport, industry sources have revealed some details regarding Pro model of the V25 series. The Chinese smartphone maker’s new model will features a unique color shifting technology with Fluorite AG Glass on the rear panel. Interestingly, this is not a new feature as the company had previously showcased this technology on the Vivo V23 Pro last year. In other words, it isn’t surprising that its successor also features the same highlighting design.
For those unaware, the color charging rear panel changes color hues depending on when UV rays hit the back of the smartphone. According to the industry sources, the new V25 Pro will sport a 3D curved AMOLED display that will have a Full HD+ resolution and support 120Hz high refresh rate as well. The report also claims that the handset will be equipped with a MediaTek Dimensity 1300 SoC, which is an octa core processor based on the 6nm process.
Unfortunately, this is all the information we have at the moment. This news is also unconfirmed right now, so take this report with a pinch of salt as well. So stick around for more, as we will be providing updates when additional information is available regarding the Vivo V25 and V25 Pro smartphones.
Over the last couple of weeks, we have reported on Huawei launching a couple of new products in its home market of China. Now, the company has launched another smartwatch model, which is dubbed the Huawei Watch 3 Pro New.
The new Watch 3 Pro New is the latest wearable product from the Chinese tech giant and it arrives with a premium design. It has an elegant design, which is complimented by the case’s titanium build. Meanwhile, the strap is offered in either a titanium version or genuine leather as well. The smartwatch sports a circular 1.43 inch color AMOLED display that has a 466 × 466 resolution and 326 PPI.
As per the official website, the company has built this model with premium design in mind. But despite going for a more traditional business watch aesthetic, it is still a modern day smartwatch with all the bells and whistles. This includes health related features like a heart rate sensor, body temperature sensor, and more. But disappointingly, the brand did not include a SpO2 blood oxygen sensor, which has become a staple in the smartwatch market now. However, it does offer 5ATM water resistance for protection. Notably, the ECG feature and HarmonyOS 3.0 is one of the highlighting features of the new smartwatch as well.
The battery capacity and its other parameters are currently unknown, although, Huawei claims that the Watch 3 Pro New can last for up to 4 whole days on a single full charge with intelligent mode. Apart from this, it houses 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internals storage as well. The company has launched the product in China with a price tag of 2,899 Yuan (roughly 430 US Dollars) and it is currently available for purchase via VMall.
Just a couple of days ago, Google had finally launched its first Pixel series smartphone in two years in India, which was the Pixel 6a model. Now, the new handset along with the Pixel Buds Pro have finally gone on sale in the region.

The iQOO 9T was scheduled to launch in India on August 2. However, out of the blue, the brand announced the smartphone earlier today.
As expected, the iQOO 9T for India is a rebranded iQOO 10 from China. The main highlight of the handset is that it comes powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 SoC.
Let’s take a look at its entire specs along with its pricing and availability.
iQOO 9T Specifications
The iQOO 9 sold in India differs from the original iQOO 9 from China. Whereas, the newly announced iQOO 9T in India is a rebranded iQOO 10 from China.
Additionally, the original iQOO 9 and the iQOO 10 are almost identical, except for the chipset. Since the original iQOO 9 was never released in India, the iQOO 9T (aka iQOO 10) feels like a completely new device in the country.
The iQOO 9T is built around a 6.78-inch Samsung E5 AMOLED display with a resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels (FHD+) and up to a 120Hz refresh rate. The panel is protected by a layer of Schott Xensation UP glass and it supports HDR10, 1500 nits peak brightness level, and 100% of the DCI-P3 color gamut.

Motorola is all set to launch its latest foldable smartphone, dubbed Moto Razr 2022. As the name itself indicates, the phone will be the successor of the existing foldable smartphone in the market from the Lenovo-owned brand.
While the official launch of the smartphone is set for next week, on 2nd August, the company has now shared a teaser poster on Weibo, which reveals the design of the smartphone and gives a hint at what to expect.
The Moto Razr 2022 will come with a full-sized external display which will be on par with the internal screen. The phone is also shown to have a dual-camera setup on the back, and the external display can be used as a viewfinder.
The development comes days after Motorola confirmed that the Moto Razr 2022 will come powered by the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor. It will pack a 3,500mAh battery that is claimed to offer a full day of usage on a single charge.
Previous reports have revealed that the smartphone could feature a 6.7-inch P-OLED FHD+ foldable screen offering a 120Hz refresh rate. It will likely have a 3-inch cover display on the back which can be used for multiple functions.
In the camera department, there will be a 50-megapixel primary sensor and a 13-megapixel ultra-wide sensor on the phone’s back panel. On the front side, there will be a 32-megapixel snapper for taking selfies and video calling.
The phone will come with up to 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM and up to 512GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage. It will run the Android 12 operating system out-of-the-box with the company’s own MyUI 4.0 custom interface.
The Moto Razr 2022 is expected to come in two different color options — Quartz Black and Tranquil Blue. As per the rumors, the phone could be priced at €1,149 in the European market, which is approximately $1,175.
I must say that Xiaomi 12S Pro has the least number of changes in the 12S series. If I were to review every part as I have done in the past, it would be almost the same as the Xiaomi 12 Pro review, and that would be pointless. So, for this review, we will only look at the two biggest changes to the 12S Pro: the processor and Leica color profile.
The 12S Pro has an important upgrade: the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1. It’s already proven in our Xiaomi 12S Ultra review how powerful the 8+ Gen 1 is with the TSMC 4nm process. But even with the same processor, performance can vary from this model to the other, and the Xiaomi 12S Pro and Ultra are good examples of this. The 12S Pro seems to be more aggressively tuned, as seen in the BenchMark results. And even without the new cooling system, the CPU Throttling Test scores were excellent.
1 of 4
Looking at the Genshin Impact, it is true that the 12S Pro has a higher average FPS. But you can also see from the line graph that it has a more fluctuating frame rate and you can feel the lag in the game. But compared to the 12 Pro’s performance, the average frame rate is higher, and lagging issues have been fixed. So if you were to ask me if the 12S Pro is good for gaming, my answer would be yes. Other than some gaming phones, it’ll be hard to find a regular phone with better performance than this one.
All three camera sensors remain the same, but the 12S Pro has Leica color science! Although we discussed Leica’s color science in the 12S Ultra review, the Pro’s Leica colors don’t seem the same as the Ultra version. Especially in the Leica Authentic mode, although the contrast is also improved, the change is not obvious in most scenes compared to Leica Vibrant mode. We tried to find out why and comparing to the 12S Ultra sample, we could easily find that the Vignetting was not as obvious as the 12S Ultra. So the Pro version does not look as “Leica” as the Ultra.
So compared to the Xiaomi 12 Pro, Leica Color Science should have a clear advantage, right? But the fact is that in most scenes in Leica Vibrant mode, the difference between them is slight. They are almost identical except for the 12S Pro white balance, which is slightly bluish, probably due to the Leica style. When it comes to scenes with complex light sources, if not looking at the watermark, I can’t tell which one is 12 Pro and which one is 12S Pro. Let’s put it this way, I guess Leica didn’t interfere too much with this mode, it’s entirely Xiaomi’s original color style.
The 12S Pro sample in Leica Authentic mode does have more contrast than the 12 Pro, but it’s not like something produced by AI algorithm as the 12S Ultra, it’s more like a filter. Because I used Photoshop to add a little contrast and Vignetting and the results are pretty much the same thing. So after many sample comparisons, I found that the 12S Pro doesn’t do Leica color as well as the 12S Ultra, or at least it doesn’t improve much compared to the 12 Pro. If you want to see the review other than color, you can go to our Xiaomi 12 Pro review, the 12S Pro is almost the same. We’ve already talked a lot about the details of the three lenses in that video, so we won’t go into it again.
The Leica watermark can now be added in the albums APP, and there are quite a few styles. It seems that Leica is still very strict about adding its own watermark. If the photo is not taken by 12S Pro, the watermark can’t be added in the album APP.
The video capability is unchanged from the previous generation because there is no help from Leica, just like the 12S Ultra. The footage is very stable, the main camera supports 8K 24fps, ultra-wide, and telephoto cameras support 4k 60fps. The front camera supports up to 1080P 60fps, but it seems that the front camera performance in the current system is not very stable, the exposure will be high or low sometimes, and the performance is not as good as 12 Pro.
Although it can’t take pictures as well as the 12S Ultra, it is not as light and compact as the 12S. But on the other hand, it takes better pictures than the 12S, it’s lighter than the 12S Ultra, and looks more like a phone than a camera.
So the reason to buy the 12S Pro is: It’s the balanced version among the 12S series. Everything about it is average, with no amazing parts, but with no shortcomings. Even the price is just right. It doesn’t change much compared to the Xiaomi 12 Pro, but the experience has been significantly leveled up by the 8+ processor. I’m sure it will be one of the best phones for most people this year.
