Jul 25, 2022

Apple is expected to launch the next-generation Apple Watch Series 8 in the coming months along with that, the company will also announce a high-end Apple Watch Pro, a first rugged smartwatch from the brand.

Now, the latest report coming from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the upcoming Apple Watch Pro will come with a revamped design, and the smartwatch won’t feature the same square-shaped looked as found in the previous wearables from Apple.

In the latest Power On newsletter, Mark Gurman has said that the high-end Apple Watch launching later this year will come with bigger screen size, and it will not be suitable for everyone, and only a subset of customers will be comfortable with it. The device is said to have around a seven percent larger screen compared to the Watch Series 7 models.

As for the redesign, he says that the design of the new smartwatch isn’t circular in shape nor squared-off. It is expected to come with a design that Mark Gurman describes as an evolution of the current rectangular shape.

To make the wearable rugged, the company has reportedly opted for a more durable formulation of titanium for the body. Along with some advanced features related to health and fitness, the device is expected to feature longer battery life that could last multiple days on a single charge using a new Low Power Mode.

The Apple Watch Series 8 and the new rugged Apple Watch Pro are expected to go official later this year, along with the new Apple iPhone 14 series. This means that we still have a couple of months to get more details about the upcoming smartwatches from Apple.

OnePlus is confirmed to launch the brand-new OnePlus Ace Pro in China on August 3. The smartphone will likely be a rebadged version of the 10T for the Chinese market. Ahead of the launch, the company has shared the AnTuTu Scorecard of the upcoming OnePlus Ace Pro and it may have set the benchmark for Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 performance.

OnePlus has started teasing the OnePlus Ace Pro in China. In a recent teaser, the company shared the AnTuTu score of the upcoming flagship. As per the company, the OnePlus Ace Pro scored 1141383 AnTuTu points which is more than what any Snapdragon 8+ Gen1-powered smartphone has scored so far. For reference, the Asus ROG Phone 6 scored around 1.11 million and the Xiaomi 12S Ultra got 1.10 million.

The difference is marginal but still OnePlus Ace Pro gets the bragging rights. However, it is worth mentioning that the AnTuTu team hasn’t posted anything about the score, and OnePlus hasn’t specified which AnTuTu version they ran. So, it’s better to take the score with a grain of salt.

As mentioned, OnePlus Ace Pro is expected to be a rebranded OnePlus 10T for the Chinese market. The device will likely feature a 6.7-inch E4 AMOLED display offering a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2412 pixels, a 120Hz refresh rate, and an in-screen fingerprint scanner.

The smartphone could boast 16 GB of LPDDR5 RAM and up to 512 GB of UFS 3.1 storage. It will come preinstalled with Android 12 OS and ColorOS 12.1. It may be fueled by a 4,800mAh battery with 150W fast charging support.

In terms of optics, the Ace Pro could house a triple-rear camera setup consisting of a 50-megapixel Sony IMX766 primary camera with OIS support accompanied by an 8-megapixel ultra-wide camera, and a 2-megapixel macro camera. On the front, it could be equipped with a 16-megapixel camera for selfies and video calls.

Samsung is gearing up to launch the next-generation foldable smartphones — Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4. Along with the phones, the company will also launch its next-generation smartwatch in the form of the Galaxy Watch 5.

The South Korean giant is expected to launch two models in the new smartwatch lineup, which includes Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 and Galaxy Watch 5 Pro. While some of the details about the wearable devices have already leaked, we now have the pricing details.

As per the latest report from DealnTech, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 will come in two sizes. The base model with Bluetooth connectivity will cost €259.98, while the 44nm model with Bluetooth support will be priced at €286.90.

On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro 45nm model will be priced at €430.89. The pricing is typically on the higher side in the European market, which means that the devices will be priced a bit lower in other regions.

Both the upcoming smartwatches are expected to come with the same design as their predecessors. They will have a round dial and will pack several different sensors for tracking and offering health-related details. The wearables will be running Wear OS out-of-the-box, and the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro will be powered by a 572mAh battery.

OxygenOS 13 teased by OnePlus on Twitter

Jul 25, 2022

OnePlus held a public conversation with 16 participants about four months ago via an Open Ear Forums (OEF). The Chinese smartphone maker focused mostly on the upcoming OxygenOS 13 update in order to have a general understanding of what people are anticipating from the new OS version.

However, nothing specific was revealed following the meeting because whatever the attendees were able to see was covered by an NDA. The good news is that we received a sneak glimpse at some of the potential enhancements we could anticipate thanks to OnePlus’ follow-up proposals.

Recent modifications to the lock screen and always-on display were at least hinted at in a very brief teaser video that OnePlus provided on Twitter. A brief written caption that reads “It’s bold, it’s flowing, it’s coming soon” is also included with the film, and it may be a hint at the enhanced system consistency and optimization that was addressed in the March conversation.

The brief teaser first displays a number of oval shapes that are supposed to symbolize OxygenOS 13’s general aesthetic. Hopefully, this links up with enhanced UI uniformity and personalization.

The always-on-display-related enhancements, though, are the most noticeable and obvious. A full-featured music player with media controls and a picture of the track’s cover image is now supported by AOD. Nevertheless, that widget could vary based on the program you are using to stream audio.

It's bold, it's fluid, it's coming 🔜 #OxygenOS13 pic.twitter.com/6GBvcXCxBM

— OnePlus (@oneplus) July 20, 2022

The Canvas AOD function that we are familiar with from prior OnePlus phones is then depicted, though it is difficult to see if there have been any changes. The Insight AOD, which can show your phone usage, date, time, and more, is also shown at the very end, but there is nothing new added.

Motorola is working on the successor for the Moto G31. It is most likely to debut with the Moto G32 moniker in the market. At present, there is no word on the launch timeframe for the device. However, it appears that its launch date could be drawing near as the leaked renders have surfaced on the web.

Reliable tipster Steve Hemmerstoffer (aka. OnLeaks) has collaborated with publication Compare Dial to share the official renders of the upcoming Moto G32. The images give a good look at the phone’s design from almost all angles.

The leaked renders show that the Moto G32 will be arriving in black and red. According to previous leaks, the handset is also expected to arrive in silver and grey. The front side of the device features a punch-hole display with a thick chin. Its bottom edge has a 3.5mm audio jack, a USB-C port, and a speaker grille. A SIM card slot seems to be placed on the left side of the G32.

On the right side of the device is a volume rocker and a power key, which appears to be integrated with a fingerprint scanner. The rear side of the phone has a redesigned triple camera unit as compared to its predecessor. The engraved text in the camera module reveals that it has a 50-megapixel main camera.

Moto G32 specifications (rumored)

The Moto G32 is expected to feature a 6.5-inch IPS LCD display that offers an HD+ resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate. It will have an 8-megapixel front camera. The rear side of the device may feature a 50-megapixel (main) + 8-megapixel (ultra-wide) + 2-megapixel (macro) triple camera unit. It may come preloaded with the Android 12 OS.

The G32 will be powered by the Unisoc T606 chipset, 3 GB of RAM and a 5,000mAh battery. The device is expected to arrive with 32 GB of storage. It is likely to carry support for 33W fast charging. It might cost 229 euros in Europe. Since both the EEC and the NCC have approved the device, it looks like it will be released in the next few days.

Huawei is planning for a major launch event this Wednesday on July 27th, where the brand will reveal several groundbreaking consumer electronics products for the Chinese market. Huawei has announced that the company will be launching its next-generation HarmonyOS 3.0 operating system, a brand new Huawei Watch 3 Pro for 2022, and its latest 11-inch Huawei MatePad Pro 2022 tablet computer for productivity use.

However, a recent report online on Chinese social media indicates that Huawei may also be launching a new smartphone at the July 27th launch event, and that smartphone in question is the Huawei Enjoy 50 Pro.

Huawei Nova Y90 launched with 6.7-inch 90Hz display, Snapdragon 680, 50MP triple cameras — Huawei Enjoy 50 Pro (Rumoured)

From the report, we gathered that the specifications and design of the Huawei Enjoy 50 Pro is actually identical to an entry-level smartphone that Huawei earlier released in the global market, the Huawei Nova Y90. And this leads us to believe that the Huawei Enjoy 50 Pro is just a renamed Huawei Nova Y90 for the Chinese market.

The Huawei Nova Y90 was launched globally last month and has already gone on sale in several countries like Malaysia for RM999 (around US$ 225).

For the specs of the Huawei Nova Y90, it features a 6.7-inch IPS LCD display with a centered punch-hole at the front. It offers a screen resolution of 1080 x 2388 pixels, a refresh rate of 90Hz, and a touch sampling rate of 270Hz.

At the back, the Huawei Nova Y90 has a circular triple camera setup consisting of a 50 MP main camera, a 2 MP macro lens, and a 2 MP depth sensor with an LED flash to boot. For selfies, the device has an 8 MP front-facing camera.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 SoC powers the Huawei Nova Y90. The device ships with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage. It packs a 5,000mAh battery that carries support for 40W wired fast charging by Huawei.

Lastly, the Huawei Nova Y90 runs on the Android 12 OS with EMUI 12 on top. However, for the Chinese market, expect the renamed Huawei Enjoy 50 Pro to feature HarmonyOS 3 instead.

Jul 24, 2022

Vivo’s sub-brand launched one of the most impressive smartphone series of this year: the iQOO 10 series. It is composed of two variants: the iQOO 10 and the iQOO 10 Pro, each of them released in several memory configurations inside the Chinese market. This series also contains the first phone with 200W fast charging: the most powerful charging technology available on the market. Even the prices are impressive if we consider their specifications. But which of these devices delivers the highest value for money? In order to answer this question, we decided to write a comparison between the iQOO 10 and the iQOO 10 Pro. Obviously, you already know which one is the best, that is why this comparison will be focused on highlighting the few differences between these handsets instead of telling you which one is better.

vivo iQOO 10 vs vivo iQOO 10 Pro

BATTERY	4700 mAh, fast charging 120W	4700 mAh, Fast Charging 200W, fast wireless charging 50W
ADDITIONAL FEATURES	5G, dual SIM	5G, dual SIM, reverse wireless charging

Design

Even though these phones look similar in terms of design, there are a few important differences making the Pro variant definitely better than the vanilla one. The rear side is slightly different when it comes to the camera module, but the most important difference is on the front, where the Pro variant provides a curved screen at the sides with a higher screen to body ratio, while the vanilla version comes with a flat display. On the other hand, the vanilla version is thinner and lighter, while the Pro one is one of the thickest phones released this year from a mainstream brand. For the rest, there are no important differences: these phones come with a power key and volume buttons both placed on the right side, they come with two different textures on the rear side, and they have no audio jack.

Display

One of the most important differences between the vanilla version and the Pro one is the display. With the Pro variant, you can get a way better panel and one of the best displays in the whole smartphone market. It is an AMOLED panel with a diagonal of 6.78 inches able to show up to one billion colors with a Quad HD+ resolution of 1440 x 3200 pixels, the LTPO 3.0 technology (enabling an adaptive refresh rate from 1 to 120 Hz), the HDR10+ certification, and a very high peak brightness of 1,500 nits. It also features a great ultrasonic in-display fingerprint reader instead of the traditional optical ones. The iQOO 10 has a 6.78-inch AMOLED display as well, but with a lower Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels, a non-adaptive refresh rate of 120 Hz, and HDR technology. The fingerprint reader is under the display, but it is an optical one.

Specs & Software

There seems to be no difference between the hardware departments of these two phones, so if your goal is only to get the best performance, then you can opt for both of these phones. They are fueled by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 mobile platform: the most impressive SoC by Qualcomm. It is a chipset built at 4 nm with an octa-core architecture composed of one Cortex X2 CPU running at a max frequency of 3.19 GHz, three Cortex A710 CPUs running at 2.75 GHz, four Cortex A510 CPUs running at 1.8 GHz, and an Adreno 730 GPU. The chipset is paired with 8 or 12 GB of RAM and 128, 256, or 512 GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage depending on the chosen memory configuration. These phones run Android 12 out of the box, customized by Origin OS Ocean which is the latest version of Vivo’s user interface based on Android 12.

Camera

The iQOO 10 Pro is a superior phone not only due to its display but even when it comes to the rear cameras. It is one of the best camera phones out there, even though it does not feature a periscope camera. On the rear side, it has a 50 Mp main camera with gimbal OIS, a 14.6 MP telephoto sensor with 3x optical zoom, and a 50 MP ultrawide sensor with a FOV of 150 degrees. The original iQOO 10 has a 50 MP main camera with OIS, a 12 MP telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom, and a 13 MP ultrawide sensor with a FOV of 120 degrees. On the front, they both have a 16 MP selfie camera.

Battery

The battery capacity of these two handsets is the same and you should expect more or less the same battery life because the components are similar. But the charging technologies vary: the vanilla version only features 120W fast charging, while the Pro one has 200W fast charging, 50W fast wireless charging, and reverse wireless charging.

Price

The vanilla iQOO 10 carries a starting price tag of €540 or $540 in the Chinese market, while you need at least €730 or $730 for the Pro. Which one would you pick?

Huawei, the Chinese-based consumer electronics tech giant, will launch its latest premium smartwatch – the new Huawei WATCH 3 Pro (2022) on its July 27th (Wednesday) launch event alongside Huawei’s next-generation operating system, HarmonyOS 3 and its latest 11-inch MatePad Pro 2022 tablet computer.

Huawei Watch 3 Pro 2022 Teaser — Huawei WATCH 3 Pro new (2022) Teaser

On Huawei’s official Chinese Weibo account, the brand shared a teaser video showcasing the upcoming highlighting features of the new Huawei WATCH 3 Pro (2022).

The new Huawei WATCH 3 Pro (2022) is the annual refresh of Huawei’s premium smartwatch series, the Huawei WATCH, with its predecessor being last year’s Huawei WATCH 3 Pro (2021). Although this year, it is rather strange that Huawei did not opt for the names, Huawei WATCH 4 Pro or Huawei Watch 5 Pro, for its latest premium smartwatch, which could indicate that the Huawei WATCH 3 Pro (2022) is a side grade.

According to ITHome, the Chinese technology news media outlet reports that the new Huawei WATCH 3 Pro (2022) is to feature Huawei’s own self-developed standalone watch navigation system that enables bikers and runners in the city to keep track of where they are currently and where they are heading on the watch’s display itself independently.

The upcoming smartwatch also supports ECG functionality based on earlier reports from the outlet. The ECG functionality enables smartwatch users to quickly and accurately track down their current health status which includes heart rate and blood pressure levels.

The new Huawei WATCH 3 Pro (2022) is the sequel to last year’s original Huawei Watch 3 Pro (2021). The Huawei WATCH 3 Pro (2021) was officially released in the Chinese market on June 2, 2021. It featured a premium chassis that includes the glass front, ceramic back, and titanium metal frame. It is 5 ATM water-resistant (50m water resistant) whilst being rather lightweight compared to its flagship competitors at 63 grams.

Huawei Watch 3 Pro pricing — Huawei WATCH 3 series (2021)

The Huawei WATCH 3 Pro (2021) also supports eSIM along while the display up front is a 1.43-inch circular AMOLED that has a resolution of 466 x 466 pixels. The smartwatch is packed with 2 GB RAM and 16 GB internal storage. It runs on Huawei’s self-developed HarmonyOS 2.0 operating system.

The new Huawei WATCH 3 Pro (2022) launch event will be held on July 27th Wednesday at 7:30 pm Beijing Time (GMT +8) / 5 pm New Delhi Time (GMT +5:30) and 12:30 pm London Time (GMT +1). To know more about the device and its pricing details, stay tuned to Gizmochina as we will be covering the launch here on our website as well!
