While OnePlus initially only sold premium grade devices, it has seen great success in the mid range category thanks to its Nord branding. Now, it appears that the company is considering spinning off Nord as a separate brand.
Nord 2T
According to TheMobileIndian, the Chinese smartphone maker is planning on expanding its mid range presence in the market even further. It has already launched the Nord CE 2, the Nord CE 2 Lite, and even the latest addition, the Nord 2T recently. And now, a source close to the matter has stated that the next strategy to grow in the mid range segment is by having OnePlus spin off its Nord as an independent brand or possibly even a sub brand.
In other words, this would bring the company in line with other Chinese OEMs like Oppo with Realme, Vivo with iQOO, and Xiaomi with POCO. The source further added that Nord will be treated as a standalone company and will have its own unique branding, stores, and even team. Notably, Nord phones will no longer have OnePlus branding, rather they will carry the words “from OnePlus” or “a OnePlus brand” in come places.
Based on the branding so far, we can expect a branding that uses light blue as its theme color. The sources also stated that the Nord branding will continue to focus on offline channels and to build a strong offline presence thanks to new dedicated showrooms and partnerships with third party stores and other authorized resellers. The Nord branding doesn’t just end with smartphones and will soon encompass TWS earbuds, Bluetooth neckbands, power banks, fitness bands, smartwatches, and much more.

A careful look at the Realme GT 2 Master Explorer poster reveals it does not feature the signature of Naoto Fukasawa, the Japanese designer, who designed the previously released Master edition phones for Realme. Nevertheless, the official poster reveals that the GT 2 Master Explorer will sport an attractive design.

Apple is expected to launch its next-generation smartwatch lineup in the form of the Apple Watch Series 8 later this year, along with the new iPhone 14 series. Ahead of the official announcement, several details about the device have leaked online.
Now, a new report from Mark Gurman of Bloomberg for Power On newsletter claims that the upcoming Apple Watch Series 8 could come with a body temperature sensor.
It is said that by using the sensor, the smartwatch will be able to determine if the user is running a fever but it won’t be able to give an exact reading of the body temperature. As of now, it will be able to detect spikes in body temperature and determine if the user should see a doctor or not.
The company is reportedly in the internal testing phase for the body temperature sensor and if it passes through the test, then it will be incorporated in the upcoming Watch Series 8 lineup but may not make its way to the budget SE lineup.
Apart from the addition of this new sensor, the upcoming smartwatch lineup from the technology giant won’t have major new features but will most probably consist of minor upgrades, including better display for the high-end models.
Currently, the company has not revealed anything related to the Apple Watch Series 8 but given the track record, we expect the devices to officially get launched in a few months along with the Apple iPhone 14 lineup.

Redmi K-series teased in India

Yesterday, Xiaomi announced the Xiaomi 12S lineup as the world’s first Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 powered smartphones. Brands like ASUS, Red Magic, and Realme are next in line to launch their SD8+G1 flagships. During the unveiling event of the Xiaomi 12S, iQOO released a Weibo post to reveal that the iQOO 10 series is coming soon.
The below-shown poster released by the brand only reveals that the iQOO 10 lineup will be equipped with the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1. Past reports have revealed that the series will include two models, the iQOO 10 and the iQOO 10 Pro. Some tipsters from China have claimed that the iQOO 10 lineup may go official on July 19.
The iQOO 10 Pro, which has a model number of V2218A, recently appeared in the database of the TENAA certification site with all its major specifications. While there is no information on the specs of the vanilla model, its leaked renders have revealed a dual-tone design and a gimbal OIS-enabled triple camera unit. It appears that the iQOO 10 Pro may also arrive with a similar design.
iQOO 10 Pro specifications (rumored)
The iQOO Pro will come with a 6.78-inch AMOLED display that offers a QHD+ resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, and an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanner. It will run the Android 12 OS with the iQOO UI on top.
iQOO 10 Legend BMW edition
The iQOO 10 Pro will be powered by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset. It will have up to 16 GB of LPDDR5 RAM, and up to 512 GB of UFS 3.1 storage.
The triple rear camera setup of the iQOO 10 Pro will include a pair of 50-megapixel cameras and a 14.6-megapixel lens. The latter appears to be a telephoto lens with a 3x zoom. The smartphone is likely to house a 4,550mAh dual-cell battery. It is expected to be the first smartphone in the world to offer 200W fast charging. Reports have also claimed that it will support 65W wireless charging.
Xiaomi unveiled the Xiaomi 12S, 12S Pro, 12 Pro Dimensity edition, and 12S Ultra in China. It appears that none of these devices may be released in markets outside China. As far as India is concerned, the company is expected to release the Xiaomi 12T lineup, which may include a vanilla model and a Pro variant. Tipster Kacper Skrzypek has tipped the name of the processor that will drive the Xiaomi 12T.
The Xiaomi 12T lineup is said to include two devices with “plato” and “diting” codenames. The former is expected to debut on the market with the Xiaomi 12T moniker, whereas the latter may carry the Xiaomi 12T Pro marketing name.
Xiaomi 11T
According to a previous report by Xiaomiui, the “plato” device was found listed in the MtkList in the Mi Code. It means that it will be powered by a MediaTek chip. Now, tipster Skrzypek has claimed that the 12T will be equipped with the Dimensity 8100-Ultra chipset. So, it looks like the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 mobile platform could be used to power the Xiaomi 12T Pro.
The Xiaomi 12T has recently bagged approval from the FCC certification site, which indicates that it may not take too long for it to go official. The FCC listing revealed that the 12T will offer connectivity features like Wi-Fi 802.11ax, 5G (7 bands), Bluetooth, GPS, and an IR blaster. It will be arriving in two configurations: 8 GB RAM + 128 GB storage and 8 GB RAM + 256 GB storage.
The Xiaomi 12T Pro is likely to come with specs like a 120Hz AMOLED display, OIS-enabled rear cameras, 8 GB of LPDDR5 RAM, 128 GB / 256 GB of UFS 3.1 storage, and 120W fast charging. It is speculated that the Xiaomi 12T and 12T Pro will be rebranded as the Redmi K50S and Redmi K50S Pro, respectively, in China.
iQOO is working on the iQOO 10 series of smartphones for China. However, India is expected to receive a different flagship phone, which is called the iQOO 9T. A new report by GSMArenahas revealed the release timeframe of the 9T.
The publication has learnt through iQOO that the iQOO 9T will be debuting by the end of this month (July) in India. The company has also confirmed that the device will be powered by Qualcomm’s most powerful mobile chip, the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset.
The iQOO 9 Pro carries a starting price of Rs 64,990 (~$823) in India. Hence, it is likely that the iQOO 9T may arrive with a similar price tag in the country.
As mentioned above, iQOO is planning to iQOO 10 and 10 Pro smartphones in China later this month. At present, it is unclear whether the iQOO 10 or 10 Pro will be rebranded as the iQOO 9T in India. Also, there is no other information on the other specs of the iQOO 9T.
A recent report revealed that the iQOO 9T will arrive with a 6.78-inch AMOLED E5 LTPO 2.0 panel that produces a Quad HD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. The SD+8G1 phone is likely to arrive in 8 GB RAM + 128 GB storage and 12 GB RAM + 256 GB storage variants. Its battery size is not known yet, but it is said to support 120W fast charging.
OPPO recently announced the Reno 7A: the last ever phone from the Reno7 Series. It went official in the Japanese market and it is one of the few budget phones with a waterproof body in the market. Right after, Motorola came up with the Moto G52j: a device that seems released just to compete with the Reno. Indeed, just like the 7A, it has a waterproof body and the same processor, and it is sold in the same price range. But which one is the best waterproof budget phone? This is a comparison between the main specifications of the OPPO Reno 7A and the Motorola Moto G52j which will give you an answer.

Design
The most beautiful design belongs to the OPPO Reno 7A. It looks very minimalistic and modern, with flat borders and the OPPO Glow finish. It is more compact, thinner, and lighter than the Motorola Moto G52j because it has a smaller display and a smaller battery. Its rear side is cleaner and the phone looks like a higher-end device, even though it is made of polycarbonate. Unfortunately, the Motorola Moto G52j is bigger and chunkier, not exactly the most elegant phone out there. But these two phones share an important thing in common: their waterproof body. Thanks to the IP68 certification, they are able to go underwater up to 1.5 meters deep without any damage for a maximum time of 30 minutes, and they are even dustproof. It is very hard, almost impossible in 2022, to find an affordable phone with the IP68 certification.
Display
The OPPO Reno 7A wins the display comparison very easily. Unlike its rival, it comes with an AMOLED display showing more brilliant colors and deeper blacks. The display is more compact, but its image quality is actually higher. The screen has a 90 Hz refresh rate, a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels, a touch sampling rate of 180 Hz, and even an in-display fingerprint reader. The Motorola Moto G52j comes with a below-average IPS LCD display sporting a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2460 pixels and the fingerprint scanner is side-mounted instead of being inside the display. But the display of the Motorola Moto G52j is very good for gamers because it has a wide 6.8-inch diagonal and a very high 120 Hz refresh rate allowing for a smoother viewing experience.
Specs & Software
The hardware departments of these two phones are exactly the same. They are powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 5G mobile platform with an octa-core architecture, built at 6 nm and running at a max frequency of 2.2 GHz. It is a good SoC for the midrange segment, providing sufficient performance in every scenario and the 5G connectivity as well. The chipset is paired with 6 GB of LPDDR4x RAM and 128 GB of UFS 2.2 internal storage which you can furtherly expand with a micro SD. They are good phones in terms of performance, but they are far from the high-end segment. They run Android 11 out of the box. The OPPO Reno 7A has a highly customized user interface on top, while the Motorola Moto G52j has a nearly-stock Android version with My UX.
Camera
The Motorola Moto G52j is a more advanced camera phone because it has better sensors on the rear side. The main camera is a 50 MP shooter which is actually better than the 48 MP main camera found on the OPPO Reno 7A. The 7A lacks an ultrawide camera, while the Motorola Moto G52j provides an 8 MP ultrawide lens. On the other hand, the Reno has a better front camera with a 16 MP resolution, thanks to which you can shoot selfies with a higher level of definition.
Battery
Besides being a better camera phone, the Motorola Moto G52j is even a better battery phone. It has a bigger 5000 mAh battery which lasts more on a single charge in a lot of scenarios, while the OPPO Reno 7A has just 4500 mAh on board. So there is no doubt about the phone that provides the longest battery life, even though the Reno has a more efficient AMOLED display.
Price
The OPPO Reno 7A can actually be purchased for about $334/€320, while you need $310/€297 to grab a unit of the Motorola Moto G52j. Note that these two phones are only available in Japan, there is no other market which got them and we do not know whether or not these devices will make their way to other regions. The OPPO Reno 7A wins the design and display comparisons (as well as the software comparison thanks to a better user interface), while the Motorola Moto G52j has better cameras and a bigger battery. Which one would you pick?
Other than all these launches, the company also debuted a new tri-band mesh router called the Xiaomi HomeWiFi. So let’s take a look at this new router.
Xiaomi HomeWiFi Tri-band Mesh router
According to Xiaomi, the HomeWiFi mesh router is designed for large size apartments (150m²) or up to 5 stories of an apartment complex (1500m²). The router comes in pair of two units that automatically link together once turned on. At once, a maximum of 10 units can be linked together to cover the maximum area of 1500m².
Coming to the features, it offers a total of three band options including 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and mesh. Each HomeWiFi unit comes equipped with eight antennas and eight signal amplifiers for maximum range. The device is also capable of connecting up to 600 smart devices at once without much impact on performance.
Other than that, there are also a couple more interesting features offered with the router. It allows users total control over connections, meaning you can easily connect or disconnect a device from the router by just pressing a tab on your smartphone. The router also offers a quick connection with the use of NFC. With this feature, guests need to just touch their NFC-enabled devices to the router and it will automatically connect to their smartphone without the need for a password.
Pricing & availability
The Xiaomi HomeWiFi Tri-band mesh router can be purchased for a price of 1,499 Yuan ($224) in China. It is offered in a single black color option.

E-commerce giant Amazon plans to replace its van delivery fleet in London with e-cargo bikes. The move was motivated by the online retailer’s goal of cutting down on its carbon footprint. Amazon is opening a micromobility hub in Hackney as part of this effort.
Amazon will replace thousands of its delivery vans with e-cargo bikes and on-foot delivery staff that will be seen in London. The Hackney Micromobility hub is Amazon’s first and it hopes to make up to 5 million deliveries a year. The areas covered are about 10% of London’s ultra-low emission zone passcode districts. Amazon is also planning on expanding the program to cover other cities in the UK. It is a part of the broad objectives of Amazon to cut down on carbon emissions.
The e-cargo bikes will be operated by several Amazon partner businesses and the program comes two years after Amazon was named as a partner in the London Wall car park project. The project itself is however yet to kick off. According to Amazon UK’s chief, John Boumphrey Amazon is pursuing a global net-zero carbon status. This has been reflected in the transformation of its transportation networks to electric-compliant. The program will be scaled up in other parts of the UK with the opening of micromobility hubs in the coming months.
The Amazon e-cargo delivery system will improve air quality in its service area, especially for people in Hackney, east London. The UK government is incentivizing the use of e-bikes. It has also ramped up the provision of the needed infrastructure to support the reduction of carbon emissions across its economic chain.
