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.
Realme GT 2 Master Explorer Edition specifications (rumored)
The Realme GT 2 Master Explorer Edition houses a 6.7-inch AMOLED screen that offers a Full HD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. It will be powered by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC and up to 12 GB of LPDDR5 RAM. It will run on the Realme UI 3.0 flaovred Android 12 OS.

For selfies, it will have a 16-megapixel camera. Its back panel will feature a pair of 50-megapixel cameras and a 2-megapixel lens. It will offer up to 256 GB of UFS 3.1 storage. The GT Master Explorer Edition was announced with a starting price of 2,999 Yuan (~$447) in China. Hence, it is likely that the successor model may be priced at 3,500 Yuan (~$522).
As far as the launch date is concerned, reliable tipster Digital Chat Station recently claimed that the GT 2 Master Explorer Edition will launch soon after the Xiaomi 12 Ultra. Rumors have it that the 12 Ultra will debut in the first week of July.
OnePlus unveiled the OnePlus Nord 2T 5G in Europe last month. Leaker Abhishek Yadav has now tipped the launch date and the first sale date of the Nord 2T 5G for India. A couple of reports have claimed that it will be debuting this month in India. However, the new leak suggests that it will debut next month in the country.
OnePlus Nord 2T 5G launch date, price in India
According to Yadav, the OnePlus Nord 2T 5G will be launching on July 1 in India. He added the first sale of the device will be carried out on July 5. It will be arriving in two configurations, such as 8 GB RAM + 128 GB storage and 12 GB RAM + 256 GB storage. These variants are likely to cost Rs 28,999 (~$371) and Rs 33,999 (~$435), respectively.
OnePlus Nord 2T
Now that the Nord 2T 5G is tipped to launch on July 1 in India, its official teasers are expected to surface in the next few days. 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.
OnePlus Nord 2T 5G specifications
The OnePlus Nord 2T 5G has a 6.43-inch AMOLED display with a punch-hole design. It offers an FHD+ resolution, a 90Hz refresh rate, and an in-display fingerprint scanner. It features a 32-megapixel front camera and a 50-megapixel (main) + 8-megapixel (ultra-wide) + 2-megapixel (depth) triple camera unit.

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.

A new report has revealed some interesting information regarding Samsung and its smartphone operations. Apparently, the low demand in the handset market has caused a surplus in its smartphone inventory and the figure is huge.
Galaxy A04
According to TheElec, the South Korean tech giant has a large stockpile of smartphones that have reached 50 million in number. Furthermore, sources have claimed that the Galaxy A series made up a large portion of smartphones that is in this inventory. These are being readied to be sold, as per one of the source. Samsung is planning on shipping around 270 million units of smartphones in this year. So, 50 million would mean that the large inventory accounts for around 18 percent of its shipment goals.
The report further added that a more balanced figure would’ve been around 10 percent, so the figure basically implies that the brand is currently facing low demand for its smartphones. Just in the month from January to February 2022, the company had produced around 20 million units of smartphones. However, this figure halved to 10 million units in May. In other words, this drop in production is probably due to the existing large stockpile of handsets that have not been sold yet.
Galaxy S22 Ultra
As of right now, the demand for smartphones have dipped across all segments. There have been multiple reasons for this including lockdowns in China due to the Coronavirus, global economic state, surge in raw materials, the ongoing invasion of Russia into Ukraine, among others. Thus, Samsung has also lowered its component orders from its supports by around 30 to 70 percent from April to May.
Sony is reportedly working on its first 100MP camera sensor. The Japanese brand is yet to release a camera sensor above 100 megapixels. According to Chinese tipster Digital Chat Station, the sensor will be aimed at premium mid-range smartphones. Notably, Sony also makes camera sensors for tech giants Apple and Google which are popular brands among smartphone photography enthusiasts.
The leaker adds that the 100MP sensor will be a part of Sony’s IMX8 series. Alongside, Sony is also said to be working on the IMX9 series. There is no additional information about the brand’s upcoming 100MP sensor. The IMX8 series debuted with a 54MP 1/1.49 IMX800 sensor that was used in the Honor 70 series. Considering that the 100MP sensor will be aimed at mid-range smartphones, we can expect it to do a decent job in imaging capabilities.
The leaker had previously reported that Sony’s IMX9 series camera would be the 50MP IMX989 sensor in 1-inch size and it is expected to debut in the upcoming Xiaomi 12 Ultra.
With the 100MP sensor, Sony aims to take on Samsung which is already working on a 200MP ISOCELL HP3 sensor. Motorola is tipped to debut a smartphone next month with the 200MP ISOCELL HP1 sensor. Additionally, many phones in the market use Samsung’s 108MP ISCOELL sensor.
Recently, Sony’s CEO claimed that smartphone cameras could overtake DSLR cameras in the next few years.
