An Apple executive has apparently slammed Samsung Electronics for stealing their technology. The official stated that the latter has practically stolen its iPhone for its smartphones.
The news arrives from Wall Street Journal‘s Joanna Stern who shared a new documentary (Via MacRumors). This documentary arrives ahead of the iPhone’s 15th anniversary and talks about the evolution of the Cupertino based giant’s iPhone. In the documentary, there is a video interview of Apple’s marketing chief Greg Joswiak, iPhone co creator Tony Fadell, and a family of iPhone users as well. One part of the interview has a brief mention about Android smartphones featuring larger displays year ahead of Apple.
Joswiak was also asked about how he felt about the impacts of Samsung and other Android smartphone makers in the market. To this, Joswiak stated that they were “annoying” and went on to accuse them for poorly copying Apple’s technology. He stated that “They were annoying. And they were annoying because, as you know, they ripped off our technology. They took the innovations that we had created and created a poor copy of it, and just put a bigger screen around it. So, yeah, we were none too pleased.”
Back in 2013, the South Korean brand had launched its flagship Galaxy S4 that featured a 5 inch display. Around the same time, the iPhone 5 was the direct rival and only had a 4 inch display in comparison. In the near future, iPhones with larger displays were released in the market. Although, Apple had also sued Samsung for patent infringement based on the latter’s phones copying iPhone’s design for the Galaxy series of smartphones.
Transsion brand Itel has launched its first-ever smartwatch in India. The wearable is officially called Itel Smartwatch 1 ES and it carries an affordable price tag of ₹1,999. It will be sold via online and offline retailers across the country. The product comes with a 1-year warranty.
The Itel Smartwatch 1 ES features a square dial. The wearable’s IPS LCD screen measures 1.7-inch in size. It has a digital crown on the right side to navigate through the software UI.
Like most budget smartwatches in the market, this one is also merely a fitness tracker. Hence, it offers multiple sports modes like walking, running, cycling, skipping, badminton, basketball, football, and yoga. There’s also support for heart rate monitoring and blood oxygen level monitoring.
The wearable also arrives with other basic functions like app notifications, alarm, weather, music playback control, and camera shutter control. Interestingly, it also features built-in games like Thunder Battleship, Young Bird, and 2048.
Unsurprisingly, the watch is also IP68-certified for dust and water resistance. It is backed by a 220mAh battery that can last up to 15 days on a full charge. Finally, it is compatible with both Android and iOS.
For the unaware, Itel is a sister brand of Infinix and Tecno under Transsion Holdings. Unlike the latter two, Itel is well-known for feature phones and entry-level smartphones. But slowly, the brand has entered audio, smart TV, and now even wearable categories.
Fire-Boltt has just launched another new product in India. This new device is a smart wearable called the Fire-Boltt Rage smartwatch. So let’s have a look at its specs, features, and pricing.

After installing the ColorOS 12 update, users should look out for loads of exciting features and changes. The update brings features including but not limited to a new wallpaper-based theming system, Screen Translate, Canvas AOD, Android 12’s Privacy Dashboard, and privacy indicators.

This means the ColorOS 12 is the first and final Android update for Oppo A76. However, the phone will continue receiving security updates for 3 years.
Poco F4 5G’s first sale went live in India yesterday and the smartphone has received an extremely positive response from Indian customers. The device has reportedly witnessed record-breaking sales in India. It is claimed to have become the highest-selling flagship in the first sale on Flipkart.
According to Indian E-commerce giant Flipkart, Poco F4 5G has demolished previous sales records and has become the highest-selling flagship smartphone on the platform. The smartphone is also claimed to have received the highest number of searches on any device on the first day of sale on Flipkart.
The device witnessed such an overwhelming response that it went out of stock in just minutes. Moreover, the traffic was so huge that Flipkart’s servers started to malfunction.
Poco phones often receive such response in India because they come packed with flagship features and go easy on the customers’ pockets. It is worth mentioning that Poco is now among the top three online smartphone brands in India. The company stands just behind its parent company, Xiaomi.
Talking about Poco F4 5G’s specifications, it flaunts a 6.67-inch AMOLED display that offers a 120Hz refresh rate and FHD+ resolution. It is powered by a Snapdragon 870 chip paired with up to 8 GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 256 GB of UFS 3.1 storage. The device carries a large 5,000mAh battery with 67W fast charging support.

Xiaomi is all set to launch the Xiaomi 12S series in China on July 4. Ahead of that, the company is teasing the features of the phones. After revealing the design of the Pro model yesterday, the firm has disclosed the primary camera of all three handsets. We have covered the main camera of the Xiaomi 12S Ultra separately. Let’s take a look at the camera of the Xiaomi 12S and the Xiaomi 12S Pro in this article.
According to the official Weibo accounts of Xiaomi Phone and Lei Jun, the upcoming Xiaomi 12S and Xiaomi 12S Pro will utilize a 50MP Sony IMX707 camera sensor. For the unaware, this is the same sensor, which is present on the Xiaomi 12 Pro.
This means the Xiaomi 12S Pro is not getting a hardware improvement for its main camera. But the Xiaomi 12S is getting an upgrade since the Xiaomi 12 has a comparatively smaller 50MP Sony IMX766 sensor, which is commonly found on handsets from the Oplus group (Oppo, Oneplus, and Realme).
Unfortunately, that’s all the information we have on the camera hardware of the Xiaomi 12S series. On the software front, these smartphones will be using image processing co-tuned with Leica, which is touted to be the key selling point.
As we are still days away from the launch event, we expect Xiaomi to shed more details on the Xiaomi 12S lineup in the coming days. In the meantime, let us know your expectations in the comment section below.

Xiaomi 12S Ultra is confirmed to be unveiled in China on July 4. However, ahead of the imminent launch, Xiaomi has revealed an interesting detail about the camera of the smartphone. The company confirmed that the Xiaomi 12S ultra will boast a brand new primary sensor from Sony.
According to the latest Weibo post by Xiaomi, the forthcoming Xiaomi 12S Ultra will be equipped with the long-rumored Sony IMX989 sensor. The sensor hasn’t been used in any smartphone before and the 12S ultra will be the first to take it for a spin.

Moreover, Xiaomi’s co-founder and CEO Lei Jun revealed in a Weibo post that the sensor has been jointly developed by Sony and Xiaomi and the development cost of the sensor is $15 million.
Previous leaks have suggested that Sony’s IMX989 will be a 50-megapixel sensor. The primary sensor is rumored to be accompanied by a 48MP 5x telephoto and 48MP ultra wide-angle sensor. We already know that the smartphone’s cameras will be engineered by Leica.
Xiaomi 12S, 12S Pro, and 12S Ultra (from front)
Judging from the details, Xiaomi 12S Ultra is likely to offer excellent picture and video quality. The smartphone might bring revolution to Xiaomi’s camera world.
As mentioned, Xiaomi 12S Ultra is going to be launched on July 4 in China. The smartphone is expected to be powered by Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 Soc paired with up to 12 GB of LPDDR5 RAM, and 512 GB of UFS 2.1 storage.

The Black Shark 5S series may come preinstalled with Android 12 OS and Joy UI 13. It may continue to feature a side-facing fingerprint scanner.
The Black Shark 5, Black Shark 5 Pro, and Black Shark 5 RS went official at the end of March this year. The company may launch the Black Shark 5S series at least six months after the Black Shark 5 lineup. Hence, it is likely that the 5S models may break cover by September’s end.
Apple has been trying to reduce dependency on third-party suppliers for core components of its devices. In line with that, the technology giant has been trying to make its own 5G modem for a few years now.
There were reports indicating that the Apple iPhone series smartphones launching next year could feature the company’s in-house developed 5G modem. Now, it appears that is not happening anytime soon.
As per the latest report coming from well-known Apple analyst Ming Chi-Kuo, Apple has failed to make its own in-house 5G modem. He also adds that Qualcomm will remain the exclusive supplier of 5G modem chips for the iPhones.
Qualcomm was expected to ship 20 percent of the 5G modem chips for the 2023 iPhone models but now the semiconductor company is expected to supply 100 percent of chips.
While Apple will keep working on making its own 5G modem, it will take more time to reach the goal and have a satisfactory outcome for the company to be able to use the chips on iPhones as well as other devices from Apple.
Apple acquired the modem chip business of Intel in the year 2019 and has been working on making its own chips to move away from Qualcomm. Apple and Qualcomm also had a major legal battle over licensing fees, which was ultimately settled.
A few months ago, HMD Global had launched its budget Android smartphone in the market, dubbed Nokia G11 and the company managed to sell millions of units of the device.

In the camera department, the phone has a dual-camera setup on the back, featuring a 50-megapixel primary sensor and a 2-megapixel secondary lens. On the front side, there’s an 8-megapixel snapper for taking selfies and video calling.
The Nokia G11 Plus runs the Android 12 operating system out of the box and the company has confirmed that the device will be receiving OS upgrades for two years and security updates for three years. It is powered by a 4,000mAh battery.

Yesterday, Xiaomi took to its Weibo and Twitter handles to reveal that the Xiaomi 12S series of flagship phones will be unveiled on July 4 in China. The lineup has three phones, namely, the Xiaomi 12S, the Xiaomi 12S Pro, and the Xiaomi 12S Ultra. A reliable tipster has claimed that the Xiaomi 12S series will not be released in global markets.
According to Snoopy Tech, the Xiaomi 12S series will remain exclusive to China. When he was asked whether the 12S lineup would debut later in the global markets, he responded by saying that the overseas market would not receive the Xiaomi 12S series at all. He added that instead of the 12S, the global markets will receive the Xiaomi 12T series.

Since the July 4 launch event for the Xiaomi 12S series was tweeted by Xiaomi’s global Twitter handle and by the company’s founder and CEO, Lei Jun, it appeared that the lineup would also debut in markets outside China. It appears that there is no evidence for the existence of the global variants of the 12S, the S12 Pro, and the 12S Ultra.
Recent reports have revealed that the 2206123SC, 2206122SC, 2207122MC, and 2203121C are model numbers of the upcoming Xiaomi 12S, the 12S Pro, the 12S Pro Dimensity chipset variant, and the 12S Ultra. The letter ‘C’ in the model numbers indicates that they are China variants.
Usually, the global variants of Xiaomi devices have the letter “G” instead of the letter “C” in their model numbers. While the Chinese variants have been spotted at Chinese certification sites like CMIIT, 3C, and TENAA, their overseas variants have not been spotted at any of the global certification sites, which suggests that these devices may be released in markets outside China.
Xiaomi fans, not only in China but also in other markets, are eagerly waiting for the Xiaomi 12S Ultra. While it appears that its global variant may not exist, fans may want to wait more to see whether it gets a global release.
HTVRONT has just announced the Auto Heat Press which comes with smart and practical features that make using it a breeze for beginners and experts alike. So, let’s take a look at all of its highlights.
The heat press comes with an inbuilt advanced pressure system, which allows the user to sit back and forget the pressure test as the machine automatically calculates and provides optimal pressure based on the thickness of your material up to 2.5 cm.
The entire 15 x 15-inch heating plate reaches the max temperature of 210°C in less than 6 minutes. For the most commonly used temp of 160°C, it takes less than 4 minutes to heat up, which is almost twice as fast as a typical heat press. It uses the “dual-zone heating engine” and “NTC technology” technology to make sure that the whole surface of the heat press is evenly heated.
HTVRONT has put a lot of thought into making its Auto Heat Press as safe as possible for its users. For this purpose, they have provided a pullout drawer design, multiple layers of thermal insulation, and HTVRONT’s H-Cooling technology, so you don’t have to worry about the heat source hovering over your hands and heat is dissipated in a safer and more controlled way.
The device also features an automatic shutdown feature which switches off the press if it’s not being used for 10 minutes. Lastly, The Auto Heat Press also comes with four presets, making it suitable not just for seasoned users but also for beginners.
The company has announced that the product will soon hit the markets and will be available to purchase via htvront.com, Amazon, eBay, etc. So stay tuned for more updates on the matter.
