The FCC listing reveals that the device will carry support for NFC, Wi-Fi 802.11ac, and n2 / n25 / n41 / n66 / n71 / n77 5G bands. Unfortunately, there is no other information on the specs of the device. However, the FCC certification is a good hint that it will debut soon the North America.

Apple recently announced its new Apple Silicon M2 chipset and launched a couple of MacBooks powered by this new processor. The company is expected to launch a few more devices later this year.
Now, Mark Gurman has revealed in Bloomberg’s Power On newsletter that Apple has already started working on the next-generation M3 chip.
Along with the release timeline for the Apple Silicon M3 processor, he has also said that the new chip will power four Mac devices next year — 13-inch MacBook Air (J513), a 15-inch MacBook Air (J515), and a new iMac (J433). There’s also a 12-inch MacBook but the device is still in early development and not much is known about it.
Before launching the M3 chipset next year, Apple is expected to launch a few more M2-series chips this year, which could include M2 Pro, M2 Max, M2 Ultra, and M2 Extreme.
The company is expected to launch its first AR/MR headset powered by the Apple M2 processor, along with new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models powered by the M2 Pro and M2 Max chips. After that, the company could announce a redesigned Mac Pro powered by the M2 Ultra and M2 Extreme chips.
Currently, there’s no information available about the new Apple Silicon M3 processor but it is likely to be manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC). The M1 and M2 chips are made using a 5nm process but if the M3 chip is manufactured using the 3nm process, then it could offer significant performance and efficiency boost.
Update: Xiaomi has confirmed that it will be launching three new phones: the Xiaomi 12S, 12S Pro, and 12S Ultra on July 4.
Original story continues…
Several reports have revealed that Xiaomi is working on the Xiaomi 12S series of smartphones. Today, the company released an official confirmation that the 12S lineup will be unveiled on July 4 in China. The series is expected to comprise three models: the Xiaomi 12S, the Xiaomi 12S Pro, and the Xiaomi 12S Pro Dimensity Edition.
The launch date poster states that the Xiaomi 12S series will be unveiled at 7 pm (local time) on July 4 in China. Since it will be held one day before the ROG Phone 6 launch event, which is scheduled to debut on July 5, it appears that the Xiaomi 12S and 12S Pro will be arriving as the world’s first smartphones powered by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset.
The Xiaomi 12S Pro Dimensity Edition (tentative name) is likely to feature the Dimensity 9000 SoC. However, there is a possibility it could be equipped with the newer Dimensity 9000 Plus chip, which was announced recently. Coming back to the poster, it showcases a silhouette of a camera lens and Leica branding, which indicates that the Xiaomi 12S trio may offer a Leica-optimized photography experience.
A recent leak revealed that the Xiaomi 12S and 12S Pro will arrive in three configurations, such as 8 GB RAM + 128 GB storage, 8 GB RAM + 256 GB storage, and 12 GB RAM + 512 GB storage. The 3C certifications of both devices have revealed that the vanilla model will carry support for 67W fast charging, whereas the Pro variant may offer 120W rapid charging.
The Xiaomi 12S Pro Dimensity Edition could come in configurations like 8 GB RAM + 256 GB storage and 12 GB RAM + 512 GB storage. Its 3C certification has suggested that it may offer 67W fast charging.
At present, there is no word on the launch date of the Xiaomi 12 Ultra. It is unclear whether it will be unveiled alongside the Xiaomi 12S trio.
Samsung is working on a new version of its One UI custom user interface — Samsung One UI 5.0 which will be based on the latest Android 13 operating system. It appears that the new version of the software isn’t far away.
As per the latest report coming from SamMobile, the South Koren giant is gearing up to release the new One UI 5.0 Beta version next month for the users of the flagship Samsung Galaxy S22 series smartphones.
Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra
While the company hasn’t confirmed the plans for the One UI 5.0 beta version release but the report claims that it will be released in the third week of July. It further adds that the stable version will be released a couple of months before the end of this year.
Once the update is released to the Galaxy S22 series smartphone owners, we expect the company to expand it to other premium devices from the brand, including the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and the Galaxy Z Flip 3.
Samsung has been doing a pretty good job of releasing new version updates for its premium smartphones for the past couple of years. Based on that, we may get the new update for other devices from the brand by the end of this year. But it’s a good idea to wait for the official announcement from the company before getting your hopes high.
A couple of months, the OnePlus Nord N20 5G smartphone was launched in the United States but the device was exclusively available through T-Mobile. Now, it appears that the exclusively has ended.
The company has announced that the unlocked version of the OnePlus Nord N20 smartphone is now available in the United States. The phone is priced at $299 and is now available through the company’s own website, Amazon, and Best Buy.
As for the specifications, the OnePlus Nord N20 5G features a 6.43-inch AMOLED display with a punch-hole cutout in the upper-left corner. The device also comes with an under-display fingerprint sensor for added security.
Under the hood, the device is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 processor, coupled with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. There’s also a microSD card slot that allows users to further expand the storage capacity.
In the camera department, there’s a 64-megapixel primary sensor on the back, coupled with a 2-megapixel monochrome lens and a 2-megapixel macro sensor. On the front side, there’s a 16-megapixel snapper for taking selfies and video calling.
The smartphone runs the Android 11 operating system out-of-the-box with the company’s own OxygenOS 11 on top. It is powered by a 4,500mAh battery that comes with support for 33W fast charging.
The Tecno Camon 19 series hitten the Indian shelves with several models. There are four variants from this series and all of them can be considered mid-rangers. But there is one single variant which left everyone surprised because of its stunning camera department: we are talking about the Pro variant. However, the remaining ones come with an outstanding quality price ratio, so they should be considered as well. This is a comparison between the Tecno Camon 19, the Tecno Camon 19 Pro, and the Tecno Camon 19 Neo. We decided to exclude one variant from this comparison: the 5G version, because it is very similar to the Neo and because all the other variants do not support the 5G connectivity.

Design
The Tecno Camon 19 is definitely the best device of this trio in terms of design, at least in my opinion. I appreciate its very original rear texture which looks like a labyrinth because it makes this device unique. But you should not underestimate the Tecno Camon 19 Neo because it is another device with an original texture on the rear side. The Tecno Camon 19 Pro looks like all the other phones due to its classic gradient back, but you should note that all of these phones have circular camera modules reminding of the latest Honor devices, so even the Pro variant remains pretty interesting aesthetically.
Display
The displays found on these three devices are not so interesting. Between these panels, the hottest one is definitely the one found on the Tecno Camon 19 Pro. The reason is simple: it is the only panel in this comparison with a 120 Hz refresh rate. So you get a smoother user experience, but no changes in terms of image quality. Indeed, all of these phones feature IPS LCD displays with a 6.8-inch diagonal and a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2460 pixels. The level of detail is identical and even the image quality, the only difference is the smoothness in the Pro variant. The Tecno trio comes with mono speakers and side-mounted fingerprint readers, just like most of the affordable phones out there.
Specs & Software
The most advanced hardware department is offered by the Tecno Camon 19 Pro. It is equipped with a MediaTek Helio G96 mobile platform built at 12 nm and running at a max frequency of 2.05 GHz. It is actually more powerful not only in terms of CPU performance but even when it comes to the GPU. So gamers and power users should choose this phone instead of the other internal rivals. The chip is paired with 8 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of native storage. The Tecno Camon 19 and the Neo variant are more or less at the same level: they are powered by the MediaTek Helio G85 mobile platform built at 12 nm and running at a max frequency of 2 GHz, they feature 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage in the most advanced memory configurations. All of these phones run Android 12 out of the box with the HiOS customization on top.
Camera
Even though it is an affordable phone with midrange-class hardware, the Tecno Camon 19 Pro has a stunning camera department which you can usually find only on top camera phones. It has a triple camera setup composed of a main 64 MP camera with OIS, a 50 MP telephoto sensor with 2x optical zoom, and a 2 MP depth sensor, as well as a 32 MP selfie snapper and a Quad-LED flash. The other devices have no way to compete with the Pro variant and they can only be considered low-end camera phones. The Tecno Camon 19 Pro comes with a good 64 MP shooter and it is better than the Neo and its 48 MP main camera.
All of these phones feature the same battery capacity: 5000 mAh. Given that the components are similar in terms of energy consumption, they last more or less the same on a single charge. But the Pro variant charges quicker thanks to 33W fast charging.
Price
All the prices of these phones are yet to be unveiled: for now, we only know that the starting price of the Pro variant roughly translates into $212/€200. Which one is the best? Naturally the Pro variant because of its high-end camera department, but for the rest, it is not so different from the other variants. Which one would you pick?

A new Nokia smartphone may be launched soon, going by the Bluetooth certification recently seen. The Nokia G11 Plus smartphone has gotten its Bluetooth certification which points to an imminent launch of the device. The Nokia G11 Plus has been the subject of a few leaks recently as it is making its way onto the market.
The Nokia G11 Plus is rumored to come with up to four variants (TA-1408, TA-1413, TA-1421, and TA-1429). The Bluetooth certification indicates that the Nokia G11 Plus will be powered by a Unisoc chipset. It is noted that products that have not completed the Bluetooth Qualification Process will not appear in public search results. The Bluetooth certification adds to a previous United States’ FCC certification for the G11 Plus (TA-1413). A 50MP main camera will be part of the G11 Plus, as per the FCC certification.
Although there are no specifics from Nokia at this time, it is speculated that several smartphones are slated for unveiling. The lineup includes the G11 Plus, the Nokia XR21 5G, and several other X and G series smartphones. These products could be unveiled anytime soon within the second half of this year. It is also rumored that several of the incoming Nokia 5G-enabled smartphones will have the Snapdragon 480 Plus 5G chipset. A detailed specs sheet for the Nokia G11 Plus is lacking at this time.
Last week, Poco officially took wraps off the Poco F4 5G. Though it is a flagship smartphone for the brand, it can be called a flagship killer.
The meaning of ‘flagship killer’ has changed over the years. But one thing has remained constant and that’s the presence of a high-end chip.
The Poco F4 5G not only has a powerful SoC but also comes with other features that are found on premium smartphones. All of these are clubbed in a single package that costs half of the average flagship smartphone price.
With that being said, let’s check out the reasons why the Poco F4 5G deserves the ‘flagship killer title.
The Chipset Underneath
The term flagship killer is usually associated with mid-range smartphones featuring the latest high-end chipset. The Poco F4 5G does not house the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 or its advanced version Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1. Instead, it is run by a Snapdragon 870.
Despite being powered by a year-old Qualcomm chip, the Poco F4 5G can be still called a ‘flagship killer’. That’s because the Snapdragon 870 underneath it is more reliable than Snapdragon 888 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 1.
The two-gen-old Qualcomm SoC offers better thermal efficiency. Hence, it is capable of providing sustained performance by consuming less energy. This makes the chip better than its poorly built successors.
On the Poco F4 5G, the Snapdragon 870 is paired with LPDDR5 RAM, UFS 3.1 storage, and liquid cooling technology consisting of a 3112mm² vapor chamber and a 7-layer graphite coverage.
Multimedia Experience
The Poco F4 5G comes with one of the best displays in its segment. The device sports a 6.67-inch FHD+ Samsung E4 AMOLED display with up to a 120Hz refresh rate, MEMC, and 1300 nits peak brightness.
It is one of the few smartphones on the market to carry support for Dolby Vision. The only other handset in the segment with this feature is Xiaomi 11 Lite NE 5G.
The screen is paired with dual stereo speakers with support for Dolby Atmos, which make up for the lack of a 3.5mm headphone jack. The phone also has support for Hi-Res Audio and Hi-Res Audio Wireless.
The aforementioned set of features is well-suited for consuming content on a mobile device. Additionally, thanks to the high-end chip, the gaming experience should be also phenomenal.
Lackluster Camera
Generally, flagship killer smartphones are known for housing lackluster cameras. That’s the case with the Poco F4 5G as well, at least on paper.
The handset sports a triple camera system on the rear. The setup includes an OIS-assisted 64MP Omnivision OV64B primary sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide unit, and a 2MP macro snapper. On the front, there’s a 20MP shooter for selfies and video calls.
Only the rear cameras are capable of recording 4K videos, while the front one is limited to shooting in 1080p. The last year’s Poco F3 5G at least has an incredible 5MP telemacro camera going for it but the Poco F4 5G has no such special feature.
All the Essentials
The Poco F4 5G comes with all the essentials. It arrives with useful features like a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, an IR blaster, an x-axis linear vibration motor, an IP53 rating for splash resistance, and NFC for contactless payments.
Further, the device offers 5G connectivity with support for multiple bands. In addition to WiFi 6, there’s also Bluetooth 5.2 and dual-frequency GNSS.
Finally, it is backed by a 4,500mAh battery with support for 67W fast wired charging. The required charger, cable, a silicone case, and a USB Type-C to 3.5mm headphone jack adapter are included in the retail box, unlike the actual flagship smartphones.
Sweet Pricing
What makes the Poco F4 5G a flagship killer is its price. Despite offering flagship-level features, it carries a price tag of mid-range smartphones.
In Europe, the Poco F4 5G is €50 costlier than the Poco F3 5G when it debuted last year. Whereas, in India, the phone is actually ₹2,000 cheaper than the Mi 11X 5G (Poco F3 5G for the region) from 2021. In every region, the brand is additionally offering discounts, which bring down the price even lower.
