Earlier this year, HDM Global showcased the Nokia C21 and the C21 Plus smartphones at MWC 2022. Now, the Nokia C21 Plus has been launched in India. So, let’s take a look at what the smartphone has to offer.
Nokia C21 Plus specs & features
Starting off with its design, the C21 Plus features a curved back that houses a rectangular camera module and a fingerprint reader. It has curved edges that house the power button and volume rocker on the right side.
On the front, it features a 6.5-inch HD+ display that offers a screen resolution of 1600 x 720 pixels with an aspect ratio of 20:9. It has thick bezels and a water-drop notch for the front camera.
Under the hood, it features a Unisoc SC9863A octa-core processor, coupled with PowerVR GE8322 GPU. The device is offered in two RAM and storage configurations – 3GB + 32GB and 4GB + 64GB. The device has a large 5050mAh battery that features 10W fast charging. As for software, the C21 Plus operates on Android 11 GO Edition.

Vivo has launched a number of T series of smartphones in India recently. Now, a recent teaser has confirmed the launch of the T1x model in the region. The device has also been spotted on Flipkart as well, so let’s have a look.
The Chinese smartphone maker shared the news on its official Indian Twitter handle. Looking at the tweet, the company teased the upcoming launch of the Vivo T1x model. While this will be the latest T series handset in India, the device was previously launched in other markets like the Philippines. So, we know that the smartphone is equipped with a Snapdragon 680 SoC that is paired with 4GB of RAM and up to 128GB of internal storage.
On the front, it sports a 6.58 inch LCD panel that has a Full HD+ resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate. It also has an 8 megapixel front facing camera. On the rear, the T1x features a triple camera setup that includes a 50 megapixel primary sensor, and two 2 megapixel shooters. Under the hood, a large 5,000mAh battery pack powers the device, which also supports 18W fast charging as well.
Other features include dual SIM support, dual band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0, Multi Turbo 5.0, Type-C, 4GB Virtual RAM expansion, and a side mounted fingerprint scanner. The Vivo T1x runs on the Android 12 OS based Funtouch OS 12 and was launched in the Phillippines in two color options, namely Gravity Black and Space Blue. Unfortunately, the exact launch date is currently unknown, but it is expected to be right around the corner, so stay tuned for more updates.
Up for review today we have the ILIFE’s latest Robot Vacuum cleaner, the ILIFE A11, in our studio. Compared to its predecessor, the A10, the A11 is a vast improvement. It features the latest LiDAR for better mapping and navigating. And as a 2-in-1 robot vacuum that can mop as well, it’s quite a surprise for the brand-new powerful cleaning performance. We’ve had it in service for over a month now and we did have a good time during the experience and tests.
Performance
The ILIFE A11 comes with up to 4000Pa suction power for super-powerful vacuuming, which is also the most powerful suction that we’ve ever tested. On the other hand, when activating the maximum power, you have to take the noise created by the beast. But actually, the noise level outputted by the A11 is not that annoying if you compare it to other robot vacuums like iRobot Roomba series. Meanwhile, the A11 is allowed to run under three different suction modes: Max, Auto, and quiet.
We used a sound meter to measure the noise levels of the three power settings from 5 feet away. The test showed that the robot vacuum has a decibel range of 42-50dB, which is more acceptable than we thought at first. The quiet mode is the one I have been using very often. It wouldn’t much disturb you from working, conversations or even watching TV.
For the few weeks that I used the ILIFE A11, its cleaning performance is impressive, which is close to those expensive models I’ve used, such as Roomba S9+. We placed it on 2 different floor types, including hardwood and carpet, and then let it fight with different debris and hairs. Overall, the A11 performs pretty well against most debris, while it might be struggling a bit with tiny debris on carpet. Even though, it’s still likely to remove about 90% of those deeply hidden debris.
In addition, the A11 is a great choice for removing hairs from the floor. But at the same time, hairs could be tangled around the brushroll after cleaning. But thanks to the included hook/blade tool, users are able to easily remove any tangled hair around the brushroll.
Cleaning efficiency
Considering that the A11 is capable of mopping and vacuuming at the same time, it’s more efficient than most vacuums that lack a mopping function. The A11 could be equipped with a 2-in-1 water tank (300ml dustbin + 200ml water tank) or an extra larger dustbin (450ml).
So to activate both vacuuming and mopping, you need to replace the dustbin with the water tank that is filled with water and attach the mop cloth to it. You are allowed to choose from 3 water flow levels for mopping. The mop cloth is large enough to guarantee decent cleaning, especially for hardwood.
In my living place, I preferred to use the 2-in-1 mode for cleaning up liquid stains, but meanwhile, I also need to empty rubbish from the water tank more often.
The A11 vacuum comes with a built-in 4900mAh battery, which supports cleaning for up to 150mins with a single charge, equal to an area of about 4 rooms. Even though it failed to complete its task at once, it still could automatically find its way home to get recharged and then continue the cleaning task.
Mapping and navigating
LiDAR sensor is the most effective sensor for mapping that I’ve ever experienced on a Robot vacuum. No exception for the ILIFE A11. And to make sure the robot can accurately map and navigate the area, the laser sensor would also work with the built-in infrared sensors and boundary sensors. So we can see the A11 has excellent navigational performance along with a good capacity to get out of trouble. But the Robot may avoid an obstacle by recognizing it with a slight collision. So it’s better to keep the floor clean of objects that cannot take a collision like that.
As for the first mapping, it took less than 5 minutes the whole process and generate a digital map on the app. And the A11 supports multi-layout mapping, which is good for those living with multi-floors. And other map features like no-go zone and customized map cleaning are also available on the companion app, ILIFE VAC.
ILIFE VAC app plus remote control
The companion app is easy to use. The app gives access to all the features of the robot vacuum. Users can easily set them up and start mapping with the app. And you can also set up a cleaning schedule for the vacuum or activate a customized running mode for different scenarios. Some special cleaning mode is useful for meeting different scenarios. For example, you can trigger the edge cleaning, where the robot would only focus on the edges around the rooms. It’s also a feature that we didn’t have on most robot vacuums. Meanwhile, using the app has another great benefit, which is to check all the cleaning cycles with detailed records, such as the time, area, duration, and even the corresponding map for each run.
In addition to the app, the ILIFE A11 also comes with remote control for those who would rather not use the app on a phone. Although I prefer to use the phone app, I have great respect for the remote control since some elders are still not used to using mobile phones. With the remote control, users can adjust the major settings of the robot vacuum.
The simplest way to control the robot is to press the 2 buttons on the body, which can send the robot home and start auto cleaning.
Conclusion
To conclude, the ILIFE A11 has addressed almost all the annoying problems of the previous model and brought quite a few useful new features for effective running and cleaning. During these few weeks, we even prefer to use it to clean up the office rather than more expensive models in the corner. And thanks to the multiple control ways, we don’t specifically use the app with the binding accounts on a certain phone. The remote control is definitely a better way for some user groups, like big families with elders. Now the robot vacuum is available in online stores like Amazon.

Realme has just announced the highly anticipated Realme GT 2 Master Explorer Edition smartphone in China. Alongside the new flagship device, the company also announced a new laptop as well, which is dubbed the Notebook Air.
The new laptop from the Chinese smartphone maker is a thin and light notebook. In other words, the focus was put on its design, which is meant to be portable. The new laptop weighs just 1.36 kilograms and measures just 14.9mm at its thickest. Another one of its highlighting aspects is its ultra thin bezels that measure about 4.9mm. For comparison, the Apple MacBook Air M1 model has a bezels that measure 8.9mm in thickness.
Under the hood, the new laptop features the Intel 11th Gen Core i3 processor that is paired with 8GB of RAM. It is also offered in two storage configurations, which includes a 256GB and a 512GB SSD option. On the front, the new laptop has a 16:10 display panel that supports 1920 x 1200 resolution and has a screen to body ratio of 88 percent.

Apple reportedly began developing the Apple Car roughly eight years ago. Since the inception of the project, Apple’s struggles have been imminent when it has come to developing a self-driving EV, ranging from technical difficulties to leadership changes. The project has seen its fair share of trouble along the eight-year journey.
source: carwow
According to a detailed report by Wayne Ma, a journalist from The Information, the brand has now reportedly released information regarding the design of the car. The latest design features four seats facing each other for easier interpersonal communication amongst the riders of the EV. Also, the roof of the car has a curved design, resembling the roof of a Volkswagen Beetle.
Apple’s designers are reportedly experimenting with a trunk that automatically raises for simple access and lowers when not in use. The designers are also claimed to have talked about creating enormous screens for the seatbacks that can be adjusted up and down. Jony Ive, a former Apple design leader, is still working on the project as a consultant. According to reports, he told the Apple Car team that they “should lean toward the weirdness of the vehicle’s design and not try to hide its sensors” after he left Apple in 2019 to start the independent design business LoveFrom.
Wayne Ma also revealed that Apple hopes to get a waiver from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration so that it can introduce cars without steering and brake pedals. The Apple automobile team is rumored to have created a number of demo videos for self-driving technology to show Tim Cook and other executives. The team also gave Cook a test drive in a self-driving vehicle in the Santa Clara Valley, which “autonomously conducted a DMV self-driving road test to demonstrate its capabilities.”
It’s interesting to note that the story asserts Apple has even considered introducing a feature that would allow passengers to sleep while the car drives itself.
Apple is currently trying to figure out ways to hide the latest Apple Car prototype while it is being tested in public as the product steadily approaches its launch. However, the vehicle’s release won’t probably happen for several years.

Earlier this year, Google teased the Pixel 7 series at the I/O 2022 event. The company had confirmed the fall launch timeline for the upcoming flagship lineup and teased some of its design elements. But now, we have a closer look at a prototype model of the higher end Pixel 7 Pro.
In a bizarre turn of events, a buyer looking to purchase the Pixel 6 Pro placed an order on the Facebook marketplace. However, rather than getting the current gen flagship, he was sent the prototype model for the Pixel 7 Pro instead. Following this, his friend took to Twitterto share the news. The original buyer had waited two months for the Pixel 6 Pro, but might have gotten his hands on a surprising upgrade.
Interestingly, the upcoming Pixel flagship model arrived with a prototpe case that hides most of its design. However, the user did share images of the device without the cover as well to showcase the full design of the rear panel. The unreleased device was also found running on Android 13 OS (Tiramisu) as well. The friend of the original buyer believes that the seller might have been an OEM manufacturer who supplies Pixel 7 series smartphones.
As of right now, the story appears too convenient to be true. On the other hand, Google did send a remote wipe command that cleared the Android 13 update off the device, which is now stuck in the bootloader. The Pixel 7 Pro is the next flagship from the search engine giant, so stay tuned as we will be covering any other leaks or reports regarding this device.

Apart from this, the report also revealed that the upcoming Moto Edge 30 Fusion could arrive with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage for at least one storage configuration. Other possible specs include Android 12 OS out of the box and 68.2W fast charging support. As of right now, not much is known about the new handset. Although, it might be powered by a large 5,000mAh battery pack similar to the last gen model.
As per one of our previous reports, the handset might also be equipped with a MediaTek Dimensity 900U SoC. The Edge 20 Fusion offered a 108 megapixel dual camera setup on the rear, so we may see an upgrade to triple cameras with the Edge 30 Fusion. However, this is still an unconfirmed report, so take this news with a pinch of salt for now and stick around for more updates regarding this matter.
We had recently covered some rumors regarding the upcoming Motorola flagship, the Moto Edge 30 Ultra. Now, the latest leak has revealed some details regarding its display and even its storage and color options. So let’s have a look.
According to a 91Mobilesreport, the Moto Edge 30 Ultra (might also be the Motorola Frontier or the Moto Edge X30 Pro) will apparently sport a large 6.67 inch display. Furthermore, since the device is the top end model within the Edge 30 series, we can expect it to be an OLED panel while the leak claims that it will support a 144Hz refresh rate. The report also added that the new high end handset will house up to 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage.
The memory configuration will likely be paired with Qualcomm’s latest and greatest Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC. Apart from this, the leak hints at the device launching in just two color variants, namely a White and Grey option. As per previous reports, the flagship device might be powered by a 4,5000mAh battery pack that supports 125W fast charging as well. Notably, the company had also recently teased the phone’s primary rear camera, which will be a large 200 megapixel sensor that has a 1/1.22 inch size.
The camera in question is expected to be the Samsung ISOCELL HP1 image sensor. The rear may feature two additional cameras that might include a 50 megapixel secondary shooter and the final sensor might be a 12 megapixel lens. Keep in mind that this news is still unconfirmed at the moment so take this report with a pinch of salt and stay tuned for more updates.
Nothing, the company formed by OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei, is now all set to launch its first smartphone in the market, dubbed Nothing Phone 1.

Ahead of the official launch, most of the phone’s specifications have either been teased by the company or have leaked online. The Nothing Phone 1 features a 6.55-inch OLED display that offers a 120Hz refresh rate.
The screen is protected by a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass and comes with an under-display fingerprint sensor for added security. There’s a punch-hole cutout at the top of the screen for housing a 16-megapixel front-facing snapper.
In the camera department, the phone has a dual-camera setup on the back that includes a 50-megapixel Sony IMX766 sensor with f/1.8 aperture and a 1/1.56-inch sensor, coupled with an ultra-wide secondary lens.
Under the hood, the device is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 778+ processor, coupled with up to 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. It runs the Android operating system with the company’s own Nothing OS custom interface on top. The phone is powered by a 4,500mAh battery with 33W fast charging.
Oppo seems to be gearing up to launch a new wearable, dubbed Oppo Band 2, in India and other markets. The anticipated smart band was recently spotted on Indonesia’s NBTC website. And today it has reportedly paid a visit to the EEC and BIS India certification websites. The listings, as usual, do not reveal many details about the upcoming Oppo band. However, they confirm the moniker and hint that the wearable may soon make an appearance.
According to a tweet from tipster Mukul Sharma, Oppo Band 2 has bagged multiple certifications. The smart band was spotted on Russia’s EEC database with the model number OBBE215, which suggests the moniker “Oppo Band 2.” The listing suggested a 5Vdc 0.5A power rating for the band. The wearable was also listed on the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) website with the same model number.

As mentioned, the Oppo Band 2 was previously spotted on Indonesia’s NBTC website with the same name but a different model number. The smart band’s existence was confirmed by the tipster Digital Chat Station. He revealed that Oppo is preparing to launch two new wearables— the Oppo Watch 3 and the Oppo Band 2.
The details about the wearable are pretty short as of now. We know that it will be a successor to the previous generation Oppo Band and will likely come with NFC, SpO2 sensor for blood oxygen level monitoring, and more.
There’s no word from the company regarding the Oppo Band 2. It is expected to launch by the end of this month. We hope to learn more details about the smart band ahead of its official launch.
We have been seeing cases of YouTube accounts getting hacked over the past few years and today, we’ve been a victim of a very similar hack that happened with others.
Earlier today, our YouTube account was hacked, which eventually led to our account being banned. This happened last night when most of our team was sleeping, but luckily one of us managed to get a few screenshots for proof. But by the time we changed our password, the damage was done and YouTube banned our account.
We had 2FA (Two Factor Authentication) enabled on our YouTube channel and there are no traces of any managing accounts being hacked either. So we are still investigating how hackers managed to hack into our channel.
That said, we apologize if you were tricked by one of the videos that you saw on our channel earlier today. The hackers used a strategy very similar to what we have seen before. They started a live stream crypto fundraising with Elon Musk in the video. They also added a bunch of crypto-related fundraisers to our channel, again with Elon Musk in the thumbnail.
We don’t think these videos were up for long, but the damage was already done. Our YouTube account was banned and years of our hard work on this channel is now at risk.
As many of you may have noticed, we’ve been putting a lot of effort into our channel recently, trying to bring detailed reviews and comparisons about smartphones and other devices. So it’s extremely saddening to see we are now at risk of losing our hard work because of a random hack.
We are currently in talks with YouTube to reinstate our account, but we don’t know how long will it take. YouTube’s support is known to be pretty slow to process these requests, but we hope that our account gets reinstated soon so that we can continue to make videos for you guys.
Finally, I wish YouTube could fix its system to avoid these hacks. As I have seen in many cases before, even 2FA hasn’t been able to stop YouTube accounts from being hacked. Clearly, YouTube needs to make significant changes in the login system to ensure our accounts are safe. Most YouTubers put all their life into their channels, spending days making a single video. So it’s extremely disappointing that hackers are able to gain access to this on a regular basis.
That said, I’m looking forward to getting access to our account and making videos again. We have a lot of interesting videos in the pipeline, but unfortunately, we have no idea how long we’ll have to wait to get our account reinstated. Hopefully, it’ll be soon.
Thanks for being a part of Gizmochina, and we are looking forward to posting more videos via YouTube in the coming days. Till then, please continue to read Gizmochina.com and stay tuned for more updates related to our YouTube channel.
