Back when smartphones were still gaining popularity, there was still a time where memory cards had capacities in megabytes rather than gigabytes. In the modern market, this figure has broken past the terabyte mark as well, but it seems that Micron intends to push the boundary even further.
The company has just announced the world’s highest capacity microSD card, which features a whopping 1.5TB of storage. This is made possible through the brand’s new i400 microSD card that has a maximum storage capacity of up to 1.5TB, which is a massive amount of additional storage for electronic devices that support memory expansion via a microSD card slot.
Although, its still unfortunate that most modern smartphones do not support this technology, there are a number of other applications still. Micron managed to achieve record breaking capacity by using 176 layer 3D NAND technology, which is also the same tech that is used in SSDs. In other words, it basically means that memory cells are stacked on top of one another in a 3D pattern.
i400 is offered in different storage capacities as well
However, this also implies that the new memory card will likely have a rather premium price tag in the beginning, which is typically true for most new technologies that break records. But, this also means that the previous gen 1TB models will soon become more affordable as well.
Apple iPhone 14 series models have been leaked several times and even though the launch is still months away, we pretty much know everything about the upcoming phones.
Now, in the latest development, some information about the battery capacity of the upcoming iPhone 14 series has been leaked online.
According to tipster ShrimpApplePro, three out of the four iPhone 14 models will come with a larger capacity battery compared to their predecessor while one model will have a slightly low-capacity battery.
The report claims that the Apple iPhone with a 6.1-inch display will be powered by a 3,279mAh battery which is bigger than the 3,240mAh battery in iPhone 13. The Pro model will be powered by a 3,200mAh battery which is an upgrade compared to a 3,095mAh battery found on the iPhone 13 Pro.
The top-end model on the lineup — Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max is expected to be powered by a 4,323mAh battery which is a slightly low-capacity battery than the 4,352mAh battery found in the iPhone 13 Pro Max. Interestingly, there are reports which claim that the iPhone 14 Pro Max will have an additional battery life of 2 hours and 10 minutes compared to its predecessor, even though it has a slightly low-capacity battery.
The Apple iPhone 14 Max, which is set to replace the Mini model, will be powered by a 4,325mAh battery. If this leak is to be believed, then the iPhone 14 Max will have the highest capacity battery among all four models.
This time, the Cupertino-based technology giant is expected to launch the iPhone 14 series with significant differences between the Pro and non-Pro models. For instance, the Pro models will ditch the notch in favor of a punch-hole cutout and will come powered by the latest A16 Bionic chipset.
As scheduled, Realme has officially launched the Realme TechLife Watch R100 in India. The latest budget smartwatch from the brand offers a classic circular dial and supports calling. Let’s take a look at its features along with its pricing and availability.
Realme TechLife Watch R100 Specifications
The Realme TechLife Watch R100 looks like a classic wristwatch with a circular dial. It sports a 1.32-inch TFT LCD screen with a resolution of 360 x 360 pixels and 450 nits peak brightness level.
The display is surrounded by an aluminum alloy chassis. Whereas the rear panel has a matte texture and it is likely made of plastic though the brand does not mention it.
The wearable weighs just 46g with a 22mm silicone strap. Unsurprisingly, it is IP68-rated for dust and water resistance.
The watch pairs with a smartphone via the Realme Wear app. This application is available on both Android and iOS platforms.
Talking about features, the watch arrives with support for over 100 watch faces. It supports over 100 indoor and outdoor sports modes, heart rate monitoring, blood oxygen level monitoring, stress monitoring, and sleep monitoring.
It also comes with other regular features like weather, alarm, music control, reminder, menstrual cycle monitoring, and more. Most importantly, unlike the majority of the budget smartwatches in the market, this one carries support for calling via a built-in speaker and microphone combo and Bluetooth 5.2.
Last but not least, the wearable is backed by a 380mAh battery, which is rated to last for up to 7 days on a full charge.
Realme TechLife Watch R100 Price and Availability
The Realme TechLife Watch R100 is priced at ₹3,999 ($51) in India. But for a limited time, it will be sold at a discounted price tag of ₹3,499 ($45).
The first sale of the product is scheduled for at 12 PM on June 28. It will be sold via Realme.com in Black and Grey color options.
Nothing is gearing up to launch its first ever smartphone in a couple of weeks. However, prior to its launch, the company had recently announced an auction for the first 100 units of the Phone (1) model, and now, the highest bids have crossed a whopping 2,600 US Dollars.
For those unaware, the company had began the auctions on the 21st of June 2022, which was set to be live till June 23rd. This auction was hosted on StockX and included limited edition models that have laser engraved numbers ranging from 1 to 100. It isn’t surprising that a number of people bid for these limited edition Phone (1) models owing to the amount of hype Nothing has created through its marketing strategies.
Thus, the bids have skyrocketed well past the smartphone’s actual retail value, with the highest bids hitting a whopping 2,679 US Dollars. Interestingly, this is closer to the price tag of high end foldable smartphones like the top end variant of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3. After the auction ends, the company has promised to ship the smartphone to the one that bids the highest within 35 working days.
Despite the handset crossing the 2,600 US Dollars mark, it is believed to actually be priced somewhere under 400 US Dollars in retail. So stay tuned for more, as we will be covering any notable updates regarding the device before its July 12 launch.
Xiaomi 12 Ultra launch date is under wraps. Several reports have suggested that the Chinese manufacturer may unveil it in July. A new report by TechGoingstates that the 12 Ultra will launch on the same day when ASUS announces the ROG Phone 6 series.
According to the report, the Xiaomi 12 Ultra will be announced on July 5. For those who are unaware, ASUS will be unveiling the ROG Phone 6 series of gaming smartphones on the same day. The Taiwanese manufacturer will hold the ROG Phone 6 event at 8 pm Taipei Time (UTC +8) / 2 pm Berlin Time (UTC +2) / 8 am New York Time (UTC -8).
The report states that Xiaomi will start releasing the official teasers of the Xiaomi 12 Ultra on June 28 in China. The publication claimed that the launch date leak has come from a not-so-reliable source from China. However, if the Xiaomi 12 Ultra is poised to launch on July 5, its official launch should surface in the next few days.

The Xiaomi 12 Ultra and ROG Phone 6 series are powered by the all-new Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset. Probably, Xiaomi’s launch event could be held after the ROG Phone 6 series event on July 5. This way, ASUS may become the world’s first brand to launch a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 powered phone. Rumors have it that the ROG Phone 6 series will not be readily available for purchase, meaning that the Xiaomi 12 Ultra may go on sale before it.
The Xiaomi 12 Ultra rumors have revealed that it will offer key features such as a 6.7-inch AMOLED LTPO QHD+ 120Hz display, up to 12GB RAM / 512GB of storage, and a 4,800mAh battery with 67W fast charging. It will have a 20-megapixel front camera and Leica-engineered 50-megapixel triple rear cameras.
Nothing Phone (1) is scheduled to launch on July 12 in an event called “Return to Instinct”. However, getting your hands on the phone will be rather difficult, even after the launch. This is because Nothing is planning to follow the footsteps of OnePlus and will initially sell the Phone (1) through invites only. Carl Pei himself confirmed this in the latest video showcasing the design and manufacturing process.
Nothing recently shared a new video on its YouTube channel that details the design of the phone and its manufacturing process, also letting us know that recycled aluminum is used for manufacturing the phone. However, towards the end of the video, it is revealed that Nothing Phone (1) will undergo an invite system for initial sales (Via XDA).
A screengrab from MKBHD’s Nothing Phone (1) hands-on
Nothing’s co-founder Carl Pei is no stranger to the hype train and invitation-only approach. He did the same thing in his last venture, OnePlus. The Invite system will allow the start-up to sell its products faster and also get them into the hands of the people that “deserve” it most.
In the video, Pei explains that since Nothing is small, it neither has the ability nor the resources to mass-produce millions of smartphones for sale in one go. Pei states that Nothing had two options: delay the sale and stock up more units or sell the phone (1) right off the production line. And as you know, Nothing chose to go with the latter since it’s also a good PR opportunity.
Pei further adds that the company learned a lesson from the Nothing Ear (1). He says that the company was only able to sell the hearable once a week and it would immediately sell like hotcakes. So, the team didn’t want the same thing to be repeated and decided to go for an invite system for the upcoming phone.
The Nothing Phone (1) was recently spotted on Geekbench, which revealed the smartphone will be powered by a Snapdragon 778+ SoC paired with 8GB RAM. The process is no match to the latest Snapdragon 8 gen processors and will give a mediocre performance. Nothing Phone (1)’s future now depends solely on the price and software.
A few hours from now, Poco will launch the Poco F4 5G in India and other international markets. Ahead of that, the new India head of the brand made an announcement regarding the phone’s warranty in the country last night. Let’s check out what he has to say.
Poco F4 5G
Recently, Poco appointed Himanshu Tandon as the new Country Head of India. Last night, the executive tweeted a video talking about the warranty for two smartphones.
He revealed that the upcoming Poco F4 5G will arrive with a 2-year warranty in India. For the unaware, unlike the EU where a 2-year warranty is a norm, companies in India only provide a single-year warranty. This makes the Poco F4 5G an exception.
Additionally, the exec announced that the brand has extended the warranty of the Poco X3 Pro by 6 months. The extended warranty period is applicable to all buyers. The device debuted in March 2021, and therefore, even the units that were bought soon after the launch are still under warranty.
As we get closer to the launch of Nothing’s first-generation smartphone, more details about it begin to emerge. The latest news involves the phone’s chipset and RAM capacity which both surfaced in a new listing. Nothing Phone (1) has been listed on the Geekbench benchmarking site, which reveals the smartphone will be powered by a Snapdragon 778+ processor paired with 8GB of RAM.
As initially spotted by the Folks at MySmartPrice, Nothing Phone (1) has paid a visit to the Geekbench site. The listing suggests Nothing Phone (1) will have Snapdragon 778+ under the hood. It can be seen that the phone’s chipset bears the “Lahaina” codename and features a maximum clock speed of 2.52GHz which should be for the single performance core. We can also see an additional trio of cores clocked at 2.40Ghz and four power-efficient cores running at 1.80GHz.
The Snapdragon 778+ chip is an upgrade over the standard 778. It ups the Kryo 670 Prime clock speed from 2.4Hz to 2.5 GHz. It also boosts the Adreno 642L by 20%.
The Nothing Phone (1) in the listing is equipped with 8GB RAM and boots Android 12. It will have a NothingOS skin on top. The smartphone was spotted on the Geekbench website with 797 points in the single-core test and 2803 in the multi-core test.
A screengrab from MKBHD’s Nothing Phone (1) hands-on
The processor indicates that the Phone (1) will be an ordinary mid-ranger in terms of performance. It will likely be priced the same as OnePlus Nord devices. The processor is definitely going to disappoint those who were expecting better performance. Anyways, it will be interesting to see how many sales a transparent back and LED lights are going to drive.
Nothing Phone (1) will be unveiled on July 12 in an event called “Return to instinct”. The smartphone will likely come in a single white color and likely be priced under $380.
Which brand will launch the first Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 powered smartphone? It appears that ASUS may win this battle since it has already confirmed that the ROG Phone 6 series will break cover on July 5. Recently, the 3C authority of China approved two ROG Phone 6 series devices with AI2201_A and AI2201_B model numbers. The AI2201_B has now passed TENAA certification, through which its specifications have been revealed. However, it is unclear whether it will debut as the ROG Phone 6 or ROG Phone 6 Pro.
ASUS ROG Phone 6 specifications
The ROG Phone 6 (AI2201_B) has a thickness of 10.39mm and weighs around 229 grams. It will feature a 6.78-inch AMOLED screen that carries support for a 165Hz refresh rate. The exact screen resolution is not mentioned in the listing. It is expected to come preinstalled with Android 12 and ROG Phone UI.
The Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chip, which clocks at 3.2GHz will power the ROG Phone 6. The device will be equipped with 18 GB of RAM and 256 GB of built-in storage. It will be backed by a 2,925mAh (rated value) dual-cell battery. The total size of its battery could be 6,000mAh. The 3C certification of the device revealed that it may support 65W fast charging.
The ROG Phone 6’s front will be fitted with a 12-megapixel camera. Its rear-facing triple camera unit will have a 64-megapixel primary camera. The device also features an in-screen fingerprint scanner. The TENAA listing does not have images of the phone. Rumors have it that the ROG Phone 6 will come with a refreshed rear design.
While the ROG Phone 6 will be announced on July 5 in China, Taiwan, and the US, it may not go on sale immediately. The launch date of the Xiaomi 12 Ultra is yet to be confirmed. However, it appears that the 12 Ultra could be made available for purchase in China before the ROG Phone 6 lineup.

Realme GT 2 Master Explorer Edition is expected to launch in July. It has already been certified by the TENAA telecom authority in China. It has now been approved by the country’s 3C regulatory body (via). These certifications are a good hint that it will debut in the next month.
The Realme GT 2 Master Explorer Edition has an RMX3551 model number. Last month, a new 100W charger with model number VCBAJACH was approved by the 3C authority. The same charger is mentioned in the 3C certification of the GT 2 Master Explorer Edition.
Hence, it can be said that this device will be Realme’s first smartphone to carry support for 100W charging. For the unversed, the Dimensity 8100 powered GT Neo 3, which debuted in China, is the world’s first smartphone to carry support for 150W fast charging.

Like other OnePlus phones, it could be sold online through OnePlus India’s website and Amazon India. The device is expected to arrive in two colors, such as Shadow Grey and Jade Fog.

We recently watched the launch of the Realme GT Neo 3 series in the global market. Unlike the GT Neo 2, the new lineup is composed of two devices including the Realme GT Neo 3T: a more affordable variant for those who still want great performance but can not afford the vanilla version. The Realme GT Neo 3 is essentially a GT Neo 2 with more updated software and faster charging. Meanwhile, in India, a new flagship killer recently made its debut: the OnePlus 10R. It is simply a rebrand of the device known in China as the OnePlus Ace and it offers amazing performance at a very affordable price just like the new GT. Here is a comparison between the specifications of the Realme GT Neo 3 and the OnePlus 10R which will help you to find the best flagship killer for your needs.

Design
Both these phones come with an original design. To be accurate, the only original thing on the Realme GT Neo 3T is the texture: the Dash Yellow color variant comes with a checkered texture on the rear side reminding of races. But it also comes in a special edition dedicated to Dragon Ball Z, recently launched in the European market as well, and with the colors of Kakarot’s clothes. On the other hand, the OnePlus 10R comes with an original form factor including a square-shaped camera module, flat borders, and a texture made of vertical lines. My favorite design is the one of the Dragon Ball Z Edition of the GT Neo 3T. Which design do you like more between the Realme GT Neo 3T and the OnePlus 10R?
Display
On the paper, it looks like the OnePlus 10R has a better display. It comes with an AMOLED panel showing up to one billion colors with a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2412 pixels, a 120 Hz refresh rate, and the HDR10+ certification. The Realme GT Neo 3T has an AMOLED display too with a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels, a 120 Hz refresh rate, and the HDR10+, but it looks like it is able to show just 16 million colors. Due to better color reproduction, the OnePlus 10R seems to offer a superior display experience. Anyway, these displays are very good, even though they are not the best out there, especially because they lack a Quad HD+ resolution and an adaptive refresh rate. Both the displays come with an in-display fingerprint reader and both the phones are equipped with stereo speakers.
Specs & Software
If your goal is to get the highest performance for your games or advanced usage scenarios, then the OnePlus 10R is definitely the best choice for you. It is powered by the octa-core MediaTek Dimensity 8100 Max mobile platform by MediaTek (an upgraded version of the Dimensity 8100 with better AI capabilities), built at 5 nm and running at a max frequency of 2.85 GHz. The SoC is paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage. The Realme GT Neo 3 is fueled by the octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 running at 3.2 GHz, which is an inferior processor and it is paired with just 8 GB of RAM. Both the phones feature 5G connectivity, as well as Android 12 out of the box customized by similar user interfaces.
Camera
The most advanced camera phone in this comparison is the OnePlus 10R for a single reason: it has a better main camera. Its rear side houses a triple camera setup composed of a 50 MP Sony IMX766 sensor with OIS, an 8 MP ultrawide camera, and a 2 MP macro camera. On the front, it sports a 16 MP selfie snapper. The Realme GT Neo 3T has exactly the same sensors with the exception of the main rear camera, replaced by an inferior 64 MP shooter and without OIS.
Both these phones are equipped with a battery sporting a capacity of 5000 mAh. There are no important differences in terms of battery life, but the OnePlus 10R should last a bit more in several scenarios because the processor is built with a better production process (5 nm instead of 7 nm). In each case, you get 80W fast wired charging, so the charging speeds are exactly the same because the charging technology is the same.
Price
The OnePlus 10R carries a starting price of Rs. 38,999 or $499 in India, while the starting price of the Realme GT Neo 3T in the Indian peninsula is Rs. 29,999 or $384. The OnePlus 10R wins this specs comparison because it sports a better display, a superior chipset, and even a better rear camera. But the Realme GT Neo 3T carries a high value for money due to its more affordable price.
Huawei will soon introduce some important functions into its smartwatches. The new functionalities include blood sugar monitoring, lung function tracking, and high-altitude health management. These features and more will be incorporated into Huawei’s TruSeen system for health monitoring.
Huawei smartwatches have longer battery lives than some of the popular brands in the market. For example, the Huawei Watch GT 3 Pro boasts a 14-day battery life unlike some models with just 24 hours of battery life. The new health and fitness additions to upcoming Huawei smartwatches will further accentuate their standing.
The information on new features for Huawei’s smart wearables was divulged by the company recently. Huawei is reportedly working on developing hyperglycemic risk screening and glucose level trend assessment functionality in its smartwatches. This will also come with an early warning notification system when potential issues are flagged.
There seems to be a race by smartwatch manufacturers for the first smartwatch to have a non-invasive blood glucose monitoring feature. Huawei has thus signaled its pursuit of that record. The lung function tracking system will predict the user’s risk of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary disease using a combination of collected data.
The high-altitude health management system will inform users how their bodies are reacting to high altitudes with the resulting low air pressure. Huawei has not put any timelines for the actualization of these features. It is already in the race to produce the first smartwatch with non-invasive blood glucose monitoring.
Anker has released its latest fitness earbuds, the Soundcore Sport X10 earbuds. It is a fitness-focused pair of earbuds with a rotating ear-hook design that assures great sounds. The Soundcore X10 is priced at $79 and offers a bass-forward sound output while at the gym.
The Anker Soundcore Sport X10 is rated IPX7 for sweat and water resistance. It offers a solid bass output and up to 32 hours of battery life (inclusive of the charging case). The IPX7 rating of the Soundcore Sports X10 means it is unaffected by sweat or water it gets while you are working out.
The Anker Soundcore Sport X10 earbuds are available in black or white colors currently. Anker says a red color variant will come later. The ear-hook design allows the user to adjust the wearing angle for more comfortable and secure placement on the ears. This prevents the earbuds from falling off during intense workouts. Each earbud weighs just 4.4g which puts the X10 among the lightest in the field.
The Soundcore X10 earbuds can also be moderated on the default bass output using the mobile app choosing from 20 other EQ presets. They offer hybrid noise cancelation to help deliver crisp music while outdoors. It also offers a Transparency Mode to help amplify environmental noise if needed. The Soundcore X10 supports wireless charging and in-ear detection among other features. Overall, the Anker Soundcore X10 earbuds offer great value for their $79 price tag.
OnePlus is gearing up to soon launch the OnePlus 10T smartphone. So far, it has been subject to a couple of render leaks and a specification leak which revealed that the device will come with the new Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset.
Now, tipster Yogesh Brar has revealed the gaming benchmarks of the smartphone which show it performing better that the OnePlus 10 Pro. According to the tipster, the OnePlus 10T (CPH2413), which will be an upper mid-range device, managed 57 FPS on average while playing Genshin impact at extreme settings. If we compare it to the OnePlus 10 Pro, the flagship manages 55 FPS on average with the same settings.
Upcoming upper mid-ranger from OnePlus (CPH2413) with Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 gets avg 57fps on Genshin Impact with Extreme settings and temps between 43-46°
On the other hand OnePlus 10 Pro with same settings gets 55fps with temps between 45-49°
This is to be expected as the upcoming OnePlus 10T comes with the improved Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1. What’s impressive about this feat is that the smartphone manages to achieve a better average FPS while also maintaining a cooler average temperature. According to the tipster, the device reached temperatures between 43-46° during this test whereas the OnePlus 10 Pro reached temps between 45-49°. It appears that Qualcomm’s claims about the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 offering better performance and better thermals are indeed true. This can be credited to the fact that the chip is made on TCMC’s 4nm node whereas the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset is made on Samsung’s 4nm process.
Other than that, tipster Mukul Sharma has also revealed that the OnePlus 10T is currently being tested in India. He also informs that the device will come in 8GB + 128GB and 12GB + 256GB configurations, will be offered in Green, Black (Grey) colors and there is also a possibility that it might bring 150W SuperVOOC fast charging.
Other than these details, previous leaks have revealed that the device will come with a 6.7-inch LTPO 2.0 AMOLED display that offers a Full HD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. It will have a triple camera setup on the back comprising of a 50-megapixel main camera with OIS, a 16-megapixel ultrawide lens, and a 2-megapixel macro camera. The device will also have a 4,800mAh battery, an in-screen fingerprint scanner, and stereo speakers.
Chipmaker MediaTek has announced a 33% increase in its revenue from January to May this year. This comes after the release of the financial report of the Taiwanese company. Its May 2022 revenue stood at TWD 52.1 billion ($1.75 billion), slightly lower (1%) than its April 2022 revenue. MediaTek’s January-May 2022 revenue stood at TWD 247.4 billion ($8.3 billion), which is a 33% improvement from 2021. MediaTek’s May 2022 revenue also indicates that the company has had three consecutive months of TWD 50 billion ($1.68 billion) sales.
MediaTek has seen a strong sales trajectory for its Dimensity 8000 and Dimensity 9000 chipsets in 2022. Several brands have hopped in on the MediaTek train due to the great capabilities of its flagship chips. Some of the popular brands using Dimensity chips in their premium products include Oppo, Xiaomi, OnePlus, Realme, and Honor. These OEMs have recently released smartphones powered by Dimensity chips.
With its very strong 5-month performance, MediaTek will likely exceed its H1 2022 target. However, it is projected that the strong sales will not continue throughout H2 2022. Revenue is expected to slow down in June due to inflation-induced price adjustments and reduced orders.
The MediaTek Dimensity 9000+ has just been announced. It is seen as a competitor to Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1. It offers better CPU and GPU performance than the Dimensity 9000. The Dimensity 8000 and 9000 series remain powerful chips in their own rights and will continue to drive sales in the short term for MediaTek.
Last month, Samsung announced that it will be shutting down its in-house LCD display manufacturing by the end of June 2022 due to tough competition from its Chinese and Taiwanese competitors. The brand has announced that it would rather focus its resources on manufacturing organic light-emitting diode (OLED) and quantum dot (QD) displays.
Now, a new report from TheElec has revealed that the brand is on its way to introduce introducing a new flexible OLED lamination method for its foldable smartphones which will lead to a completely bezel-less display.
The new method uses a liquid transparent adhesive (OCR) which sprays fine ink droplets using a jet spray for lamination. This provides for a smooth and accurate lamination as the ink jet is also able to reach places like the tricky areas around the punch-hole for the selfie cameras and speakers which the earlier technology-based on transparent tape (OCA) was not able to achieve.
Additionally, the OCR method is going to reduce the cost of production as it is ten times cheaper than the OCA method. Samsung Display and Estiai have reportedly solved the biggest challenge in OCR applications, the dripping of materials along curved surfaces. Thus, OCR will lead to a true zero-bezel with reduced panel thickness.
The company is looking forward to investing in a modular production line set up in a Vietnamese factory. Samsung has not yet confirmed which OCR material for foldable OLED was supplied but soon the new foldable phones will undergo a trial run.
