Last week, Qualcomm announced that it will be launching the next-generation Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipsets on November 15, 2022. Now, ahead of the launch, some details about the SoC have surfaced giving us an idea of what to expect.
According to a WFCCtech report, only TSMC will be taking the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 orders from Qualcomm. The chipset, however, will likely not be made on TSMC’s upcoming 3nm node. This is due to the fact that Apple is TSMC’s most lucrative client and has already reserved fab capacity for the M2 Pro and M2 Max chips. So, we are likely looking at Qualcomm using TSMC’s 4nm node again for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset. For those unaware, it is the same node on which the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 is made.
Samsung has recently started shipping its cutting-edge 3nm node to clients, however, it is reported that no smartphone chipset vendor has approached Samsung for its 3nm GAA chips. A reason for Qualcomm not placing orders with Samsung yet could be the fiasco with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset. The chipset was manufactured on Samsung’s 4nm node and was heavily criticized for its thermal and efficiency issues.
Earlier reports have mentioned that Qualcomm could opt for a “1 + 2 + 2 + 3” cluster instead of the “1 + 3 + 4” CPU cluster used on previous Snapdragon chips. This new configuration will have a high-performance core codenamed Makalu, two Makalu cores, two Matterhorn cores, and three Klein R1 cores. These codenames will correspond to Cortex-X3, Cortex-A715, and an updated Cortex-A510, which are the latest CPU architectures unveiled by ARM.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is anticipated to be coupled with Qualcomm’s most recent Snapdragon X70 5G modem in addition to its unique CPU design, enabling it to achieve new peak download speeds while using up to 60% less power. Tipster Yogesh Brar has informed that we can expect significant gains in the GPU performance and around a 10% uplift in the overall performance of the chipset.
Google’s next-generation flagship Pixel 7 series is expected to debut in the coming months. We already know the smartphone’s design that was showcased at the annual I/O Developer conference in May. Now tipster Paras Guglani (@passionategeekz) has tipped key details about the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro’s camera configuration.
The Google Pixel 7 series will arrive as the successors to the Pixel 6 series. The upcoming offering’s predecessors i.e. the regular Pixel 7 comes with a 50MP primary lens paired with a 12MP ultra-wide-angle unit. On the other hand, the Pro model also features an additional 48MP telephoto sensor.
As per the tipster, the Google Pixel 7 will get a 50MP Samsung GN1 sensor coupled with a Sony IMX381 ultra-wide angle lens. The latter is said to be an upgrade over the 12.3MP IMX380. As for the Google Pixel 7 Pro, it will reportedly come with a 48MP GM1 telephoto lens while the rest of the sensors are claimed to be the same as the regular variant. Both upcoming flagship smartphones from Google are tipped to come with a 10.87MP Samsung sensor at the front for selfies and video calling.
The Google Pixel 7 and 7 Pro are confirmed to come with the search giant’s next-generation Tensor processor. Both devices will feature an upgraded design starting with an aluminium horizontal bridge on the back panel housing dual cameras in a pill-shaped cutout and a third lens paired with LED flash outside. The Pixel 7 duo will come with a dual-tone finish with a premium glass back panel and ship with Android 13 OS out of the box.
Google‘s tenacious $450 midrange smartphone, the new Pixel 6a, has been disassembled before it has even been made available to the general public; the launch is set for later this week. Google Pixel 6a received a teardown and a repairability score which is better than its predecessor.
The relentless disassembler PBK took apart a Pixel 6a over the weekend and gave it a very good repairability score of 7/10, better than the Google Pixel 6 Pro’s 5.5/10 score because of its more difficult-to-remove parts, notably the battery unit.
Thankfully, the battery’s center wasn’t as tightly attached as it is on the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro, so it came out relatively simply. Additionally, Google attaches the display with clips rather than a tonne of adhesive, and the panel can be taken off quite easily.
The Pixel 6a’s “3D thermoformed composite” plastic back, which can also be unglued, makes it unlike other modern glass-bodied phones in that you won’t have to constantly watch over it.
The only ho-hum aspect in terms of repairability is the USB-C charging port that is soldered to the mainboard together with Google’s Tensor chipset and all other silicon paraphernalia, so if you break the port you may be in for a larger repair than needed.
Google, however, recently entered a partnership with iFixit for providing genuine spare parts and repair schematics that should make fixing a Pixel 6a cheaper and easier, in a move to preempt any mandates stemming from the recent Right to Repair Act passing.
Google Pixel 6a
The brand-new Google Pixel 6a packaging contained some trash, and there were scuffs on the polycarbonate rear and camera lens bezel when the disassembly unfortunately started. We can only hope that early adopters won’t have similar catastrophes on a frequent basis, since it would again point to Google’s Pixel phone assembly partners’ failings in terms of quality control.

Lenovo-owned Motorola is gearing up to launch the Motorola Edge 30 Ultra in the global market. The same device will release with the Motorola Edge X30 Pro moniker in China.
Ahead of its August 2 launch, the general manager of Lenovo China mobile phone business department, Chen Jin has hinted at the pricing of the upcoming Moto X30 Pro. According to a MyDrivers report, Chen Jin revealed that the Moto X30 Pro will be priced higher than the Moto Edge X30.
For those unaware, the Motorola Edge X30 with Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset launched with a 2,999 yuan (about $445) starting price tag back in December 2021. So it is pretty obvious that its successor that’s coming with the new and improved Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset will be priced higher.
However, that’s not the only reason for the increased price tag as the device will also debut with a 200-megapixel Samsung HP1 primary camera sensor. This camera sensor is quite large, reaching 1/1.22 inches, has a unit pixel area of 0.64μm, and supports ChameleonCell pixel synthesis. It is also quite expensive, which is likely the reason for the price hike with the device over its vanilla variant.
Motorola Edge X30 Pro specs (rumored)
The Moto X30 Pro, according to previous rumors, will sport a 4.500mAh battery with 125W fast charging, a 6.73-inch P-OLED FHD+ 144Hz display, and up to 12 GB of LPDDR5 RAM, with up to 256 GB of UFS 3.1 storage. Additionally, wireless charging will be supported.
The X30 Pro will be the first smartphone in the world to sport a 200-megapixel camera. A 12-megapixel telephoto lens and a 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens will be attached to this camera. A 60-megapixel front camera will be available for selfies.
Lenovo has announced a new gaming monitor. The product goes by Lenovo Legion Y27q-30. As the name suggests, it is the successor of Lenovo Legion Y27q-20. Let’s take a look at the features offered by the newer model.
The latest Lenovo Legion Y series monitor sports a 27-inch LCD panel. The screen comes with a resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels and up to a 165Hz refresh rate. If required, the refresh rate can be overclocked up to 180Hz.
Further, the canvas supports AMD FreeSync Premium and AMD AdaptiveSync technologies. Its peak brightness level is rated at 400 nits.
The display has a contrast ratio of 1000:1 and a color depth of 10-bit. It covers 99% and 95% of sRGB and DCI-P3 color gamuts, respectively.
As far as ports are concerned, the monitor arrives with 2 x HDMI 2.0 ports and 1 x DP 1.4 port. The former ports are limited to a 144Hz refresh rate, whereas the latter supports up to a 180Hz refresh rate.
Unsurprinslgy, the monitor’s stand is adjustable. Hence, it is not only rotatable but can be also lifted up and down. Last but not least, the monitor houses two built-in speakers with 3W output support.
Lenovo is yet to disclose the pricing and availability of Lenovo Legion Y27q-30 gaming monitor.
Dyson‘s V15 Detect Cordless Vacuum Cleaner has been released in India. It is able to clean floors, difficult-to-reach regions, and mattresses properly to provide the greatest deep cleaning experience. To accomplish the greatest deep cleaning experience, this vacuum cleaner can pick up particles as minute as 10 microns and includes an acoustic piezo sensor for scientific confirmation.
The Dyson V15 Detect cordless vacuum has a sophisticated five-stage filtration system that can capture up to 99.99 percent of particles as small as 0.3 microns and has a battery life of up to 60 minutes. This vacuum has a Dyson Hyperdymium motor that can create up to 240 air watts of suction for the deepest cleaning possible. The new Dyson V15 Cord-Free vacuum is engineered with 1.5 times more suction and 54% more bin capacity compared to the V12 Slim Complete Clean.
The brand-new conical brush bar’s anti-tangle spiral design swirls hair off and into the trash can, preventing hair from wrapping around the brush bar. The 56 hair removal vanes on the innovative brush bar technology are precisely oriented to move all hair types into the cleaner head.
While the piezo sensor measures and counts sucked-up particles and intelligently adjusts suction power across various floor types, the laser technology reveals buried dust. The LCD screen accurately shows the size and quantity of particles sucked up, assuring a thorough cleaning.
The vacuums are also set up to automatically increase suction power when they come into contact with a lot of dust. When a considerable concentration of dust is detected by the piezo sensor, reactive suction power is immediately encouraged to increase in strength. The suction power returns to its previous level as soon as the dust concentration returns to normal.
The Dyson V15 Detect Cord-Free Vacuum Cleaner is already available at Dyson.in, Amazon.in, and Dyson Demo shops. The vacuum cleaner is priced at Rs. 62,900 (~$789).
ASUS has just launched a couple of new laptops in the Indian market that are a part of its ROG (Republic of Gamers) series of gaming products. Two of the latest launches includes the new ROG Zephyrus Duo 16 and the ROG Flow X16.
ROG Zephyrus Duo 16
Talking about the Zephyrus model first, the gaming laptop features a dual display design. It sports a 14.1 inch touchscreen display that supports up to 4K resolution. Under the hood, the laptop is equipped with an AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX processor that is paired with up to an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 Ti graphics card. Since the laptop features some powerful specs, the company has offered the ROG Intelligent Cooling system with 84 blade Arc Flow fans and Conductonaut Extreme liquid metal compound on the CPU that can lower the temperature by up to 15° Celsius compared to traditional thermal pastes.
The gaming laptop is powered by a large 90Whr battery pack that supports USB Type C 100W power delivery fast charging. The secondary ScreenPad Plus display can also be configured to feature up to 4K resolution as well. ROG Nebula Display on the Zephyrus Duo 16 supports Dolby Vision HD, Adaptive Sync, 500 nits of peak brightness, and also supports Pantone validated with 100 percent DCI P3 color gamut. Notably, both panels support both touch and stylus input while an IR camera on the front offers Windows Hello support as well.
ROG Flow X16
The company also launched another model in the region, which is the ROG Flow X16. This model sports a 16 inch display and is also XG Mobile compatible that means it can fit in an ultra compact 15 inch chassis. But despite its compact design, it still packs a punch with up to an AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS CPU. This processor is paired with up to an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 Ti graphics card. In other words, this gaming laptop will be able to run titles that support Ray Tracing technology for improved visual fidelity.
Similarly, the laptop will also feature a dedicated Frost Force cooling system that is combined with Pulsar Heatsink. This model is also equipped with the Nebula HDR Display that is powered by AmLED technology. Its screen panel has 512 local dimming zones as well, which should help reduce the blooming effect that is seen in on some HDR enabled panels.
Pricing & Availability
ASUS has just launched the two new gaming laptops in India, which will be available for purchase through both online and offline channels. The ROG Zephyrus Duo 16 will have a starting price of 249,000 INR (roughly 3,122 US Dollars) while the ROG Flow X16 starts from 179,990 INR (roughly 2,257 US Dollars).
The Xiaomi 12 series now includes a new member, the all new Xiaomi 12T Pro. The device’s model number was “22081212UG” when it first appeared in the IMEI database. Earlier, we reported that Xiaomi’s entry-level brand Poco’s smartphone, Poco M5 was also spotted on IMEI database Unfortunately, recent disclosures did not provide the name that will be used to market the smartphone.
In addition to the model code “22081212UG,” the Xiaomi 12T Pro is listed in the database as seen on the leak. Although we don’t yet have exact details, we do know a few things about the impending Xiaomi 12T Pro.
The Xiaomi 12T Pro has the codename “diting.” The 12T Pro could include a 200 MP camera sensor. It will have a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor. The Xiaomi 12T Pro is most likely to be on sale towards the end of this month. Also, take note that Redmi K50S Pro may replace Xiaomi 12T Pro in various regions.
A 5,000mAh battery will be included in the Xiaomi 12T Pro, along with support for 120W fast charging. It will have a 120Hz OLED panel, the greatest screen available in its price range. One of the device’s standout features will be its 200-megapixel camera, which is likely to be manufactured by Samsung. The Pixel has made it clear that it will be a reasonably priced flagship device.
The Xiaomi 12T series could not be too far off. The 12T was recently observed at the FCC certification facility. It is anticipated to ship with a 50-megapixel primary camera, the Dimensity 8100 chipset, and 67W rapid charging capabilities. The rest of its specifications can be the same as the Pro model. Redmi K50S and K50S Pro will likely be the names of the 12T and 12T Pro when they go on sale in China.
A recent report revealed the key details of Vivo’s upcoming entry-level smartphone called the Vivo Y02s. Now, a new leak courtesy of tipster Sudhanshu Ambhore has appeared to reveal the specifications of the Vivo Y02s once again. In addition, the leak has leaked the official renders of the device.

In the past two weeks, we got our hands on the Xiaomi 12S Pro and the Xiaomi 12S Ultra, which probably has the best smartphone camera of the year. While it shines, I think there’s another phone that definitely shouldn’t be overlooked, and that’s the Xiaomi 12S, which is probably one of the best compact phones of 2022.
In fact, the Xiaomi 12S is simply the Xiaomi 12 upgraded with a new SoC and main camera. They have the exact same design except for the new color variant and the LEICA logo, so I don’t want to talk about the design and other regular specs in detail today. Let’s just focus on the upgrades, and I believe that these small changes make it an excellent device.
Over the past few years, we’ve seen how most compact phones have some unacceptable drawbacks. They usually don’t use the latest SoC along with a good battery solution. We had a similarly bad experience with the Xiaomi 12, but this time, we know that Qualcomm finally broke up with Samsung, and have their most reliable partner back. Well done Qualcomm! I’ve forgotten how many times I’ve trash-talked about the relationship between Qualcomm and Samsung.
Let’s get right to the point, even in those mobile games that demand high performance, the Xiaomi 12S performs very well. It can run above 50FPS for 30-min gaming in Genshin Impact under the highest graphic settings. Here are some other games and benchmark data for your reference, and you can see that when compared to Pro and Ultra, the Xiaomi 12S doesn’t lag behind by much.
Those users who love compact phones actually don’t play a lot of games, but no one will complain about a device having top-notch performance. And more importantly, now they have got the new 8+ chipset, which has been significantly improved with better power performance and heating.
Xiaomi 12S Display
It may sound strange that this compact flagship actually has a better battery life than the Xiaomi 12S Pro, obviously, the smaller screen with lower resolution plays a decisive role in that.
It’s no surprise that the Xiaomi 12S uses the same display as the Xiaomi 12. For most people, a slightly lower resolution doesn’t make a significant difference, and the 1080P display with a maximum brightness of 1100nit and Dolby Vision support is clearly not out of date. But at the same time, another thing you should note is that it still doesn’t support Anti-Flicker mode with activating the 120Hz refresh rate.
Now let’s talk again about LEICA and the new Sony IMX sensor. We showed you a lot of photos in our Xiaomi 12S Ultra Review and I would say that while the one-inch sensor is a big surprise, this time, Xiaomi really raises an interesting question about mobile photography: does a bigger sensor on a smartphone really make a difference? I mean, a bigger sensor does come with better image quality, especially in low light, but if you have watched a lot of our phone reviews, you’ll realize that we have to look really close at the samples to find those subtle differences.
Xiaomi 12S Cameras
Coming back to the photos taken by the 12S, it is actually hard to say how much it has improved in terms of details. The addition of LEICA has brought some very peculiar changes. In many photos, we can see that it has higher contrast, which makes it look like it loses a few bright and shadow details. But when you look closer, you would find that it’s simply a trade-off in style and those details are not really lost. And it’s so stylish that even if you remove the unique LEICA watermark, you can still recognize the photos shot on the Xiaomi 12S series.
This is what I really meant to say, Xiaomi is trying to change the rules of the game, from comparing the smallest details to creating an overall style. No one will zoom in on the photos you post on social media to observe the details, right? Well except for silly tech reviewers.
A unique color style will make your photos stand out from the traditional vivid style, in the past, you needed to spend quite a bit of time on photo editing apps to get a photo like this. And please note that most users actually are not professionals when it comes to handling colors.
I think this is a good start, perhaps the photos shot on different smartphones will have a variety of unique styles like in the days when film cameras were popular, and consumers can truly figure out what camera phone is the best for themselves.
I’ve also seen some comments that Xiaomi took away their right to decide on photos because there isn’t a LEICA OFF option in camera settings, but the fact is that you can still maximize post-editing by taking RAW format photos on the Xiaomi 12s.
Furthermore, I would like to add one more point about the camera system. Although you can set the shortcut to let the camera launch from the lock screen, you have to press the shutter on the screen or the volume button again to complete a snap. And you can’t just take a continuous shot by long pressing the volume button. So can Xiaomi consider adding an extra physical shutter button on the side of the phone? Just like Sony did with their Xperia Phones?
Compared to other premium camera phones, the very important telephoto lens is missing on the Xiaomi 12S, but it also has its own strengths. I’m not talking about this 13 MP wide-angle lens, but the 5 MP macro lens, which allows you to get a lot of surprises from another perspective. Especially when you see camera phones like the 12S Ultra coming with a large sensor are not able to get close enough to shoot macro images.
This is the world you can see through the main camera, while THIS is the wonder you can only explore through the macro lens, I use the macro lens a lot for special shooting, and then I got some interesting discoveries. You can even use this macro lens to create your own documentary, although it only supports up to 1080P 30FPS video recording, but films like this can’t be captured by Xiaomi 12S Pro and the Ultra.
Well, strictly speaking, this is not a full review. But I want to express some of my thoughts about the evolution of Moblie photography with the Xiaomi 12S and if you want a buying tip, I will tell you that Xiaomi 12S is one of the best compact phones you can pick in 2022, it is perfect for those who like to capture their life with smartphone.
The good battery life allows you to charge it only once a day. On the matter of designing a compact flagship, the only thing Xiaomi needs to improve is probably waterproof support.
Finally, I want to say that I don’t know if you guys realize that compact phones are being abandoned by manufacturers, Apple has already cut their iPhone mini product line even though it brings tens of millions of sales every year, which will further discourage other manufacturers to design new compact flagship phones. This is really not good news. So I really hope Xiaomi, Samsung, and Sony will stick to their choice because there are still some people who don’t like those Pro or Plus phones with their ever-increasing weight.
Samsung is gearing up to launch its latest generation of highly anticipated foldable smartphones soon. But prior to any official announcement, the Galaxy Z Fold 4 model has been spotted in a leaked video teaser.
