According to reports by ITHome, Chinese smartphone brand Realme has allegedly been removed from the OPPO Mall. OPPO Mall (earlier known as Huantai Mall app) is an e-commerce-based online store that was dubbed the official store of OPPO, OnePlus, and Realme in China.
OPPO Mall China
If popular leakster Digital Chat Station is to be believed, Realme has plans to open an independent e-commerce shopping mall for its devices. This has come as a surprise as Realme is affiliated with OPPO and OnePlus, and was founded in August 2018. Realme and OnePlus had their own special sections in the OPPO Mall, which served as a dedicated e-commerce platform. Now, not even a single Realme product can be found in the OPPO Mall. Furthermore, the brand section of Realme has also been removed from the app, while OnePlus has not been affected whatsoever.
The link that opened the Realme smartphones section in the OPPO Mall now shows the following notification- “This product has been removed from the shelves, let’s browse other products”. Meanwhile, the Realme official mall can be accessed normally.
Realme’s departure from the OPPO mall this time should signal a stronger brand performance. Previously, the market had a preference for a handful of Realme products, and this preference has significantly increased. The Realme GT2 Master Explorer Edition is now scheduled to be released in July as well. The smartphone, which has a 6.7-inch 2412 x 1080p 120Hz AMOLED screen, weighs 199g, is 8.2mm thick, and has a 4880mAh (nominal 5000mAh) battery inside.
Optics of the device feature a front 16MP, rear 50MP + 50MP + 2MP, and 100W rapid charge. The Snapdragon 8+ mobile platform is anticipated to be included with the Realme GT2 Master Explorer Edition.
Last week, OnePlus debuted the ColorOS 12 beta program for the OnePlus 7T and the OnePlus 7T Pro in China. The company has now launched the Android 12-based OxygenOS 12 open beta program for the Indian and global variants of the OnePlus 7T and 7T Pro.

On Tuesday night, in the United States of America, several autonomous Cruise robotaxis disrupted traffic in San Francisco, California after they abruptly stopped operating.
Cruise Robotaxi
The incident’s specifics were discussed on Reddit (and picked up by TechCrunch) and serve as an example of how driverless cars are still in the early stages of development in practical applications.
Although Cruise, a company supported by GM and Honda, has been testing its technology in San Francisco since February, it didn’t begin offering a paid robotaxi service until last week. The vehicles operate with some limitations, but have no human safety driver at all. When the weather is good, they only provide rides on ‘certain streets’ between the hours of 10 PM and 6 AM, and they are only permitted to go at a speed of 30 mph.
At least five vehicles are seen halted on the street in photos of the driverless roadblock. According to the Redditor who posted the images, the incident happened about midnight.
In response to TechCrunch, a representative for Cruise acknowledged the incident but made no mention of why it occurred or whether it would happen again in the future.
The spokesman explained, “We encountered a problem earlier this week that caused several of our trucks to cluster. While it was resolved and no passengers were impacted, we apologize to anyone who was inconvenienced.”
This incident involving Cruise’s driverless technology is not the first. A police officer attempted to stop a Cruise robotaxi earlier this year, ostensibly because the vehicle’s headlights were out at night. Later, Cruise claimed “human error” was to blame for the tragedy.
Poni.ai autonomous vehicles
Redditor seansinha who shared the pictures said, “The first thing I tell my coworker is that they’re planning to kill us. It was a very bizarre occurrence. The cars had to be removed by hand by arriving humans. For so long obstructing the street, Cruise ought to be fined to shit. They even made it, so the street sweeper couldn’t hit an entire block.”
He also mentioned that the Cruise employees showed up to the incident “in twenty minutes” but were unsuccessful in actually moving the cars in good time.
Xiaomi is going to announce the new Xiaomi 12S series at a conference on July 4. The source cited that the new series of devices will feature an eco-friendly leather material at the back, which is bound to be comfortable to the touch and majorly resistant to dirt. This is the first time Xiaomi has developed a smartphone with environment-friendly silicone leather, which feels comfortable and textured.
According to the source, the material prolongs the device’s durability by a considerable margin, as it is easy to clean and is resistant to peels and cuts. Additionally, the company customized the texture of the calfskin head layer, making the feel of the device more skin-friendly and offering a better grip. This comes at a time when the smartphone industry is leaning more towards glass-back smartphones that are extremely slippery and tough to keep neat and clean.
Xiaomi is believed to be rolling out three models in the 12S series lineup – the Xiaomi 12S, the Xiaomi 12S Pro, and the Xiaomi 12S Ultra. The specifications of all three smartphones have been revealed in previous roundups. The top variant is said to be sporting the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC, instead of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, this upgrade has been made citing the delay in the launch of the device and the introduction of the new cutting-edge Snapdragon SoC. The flagship device might also feature a rectangular camera configuration with the Leica branding. The front of the device is likely to be almost bezel-less and will also have a punch-hole camera.
Xiaomi 12S Pro
The display is expected to be a 6.73-inch LTPO AMOLED panel with QHD+ resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. The device’s fingerprint scanner is embedded under the display. The device also features Harman Kardon speakers, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2, and more.
Lastly, the device is expected to feature a 4800mAh battery pack supporting 67W fast wired charging. Additionally, it is capable of being wirelessly charged at 50W and supports reverse wireless charging at 10W.

Realme‘s GT Master edition smartphone series has reached a sales milestone just 12 months after its launch. Realme’s CEO Sky Li revealed on Twitter that the smartphone series has crossed the 2-million-unit mark in sales which is quite impressive.
Realme introduced the GT Master and the GT Explorer Master globally last year. Both models came with a distinctive suitcase design by Japanese Naoto Fukushawa. The inspiration for the suitcase design was propelled by peoples’ desire to travel during the coronavirus pandemic. The distinct design of both smartphones spurred their popularity and demand since they were launched. The bulk of the sales of the GT Master edition was from the GT Master. There was limited availability of the GT Explorer Master.
I'm glad to see that everyone is excited about the realme GT Master Edition Series so that we can have this great achievement! #realmeGT2ExplorerMasterEdition inspired by the adventurous spirit will be available soon. Stay tuned! pic.twitter.com/KZGD0VnakQ
The GT Master is a less-expensive and smaller model than the GT Explorer Master. While the GT Master was sold for €350 (~$365), the Explorer Master had a €500 (~$521) price tag. The models feature great displays, decent cameras, high-performing chips, and extended battery life. The next Realme GT model is the GT2 Explorer Master and it is a potential flagship. It is rumored to be powered by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC. It has a 5,000mAh battery and will launch this month.
OnePlus just launched a new best-buy in the Indian market: the OnePlus Nord 2T. It is a refresh of the original OnePlus Nord 2 5G and, before the Indian market, it was launched in Europe as well. After the launch, a lot of people are wondering which are the changes between the refreshed version and the original one. If you are among these, then you are in the right place. This comparison is not focused on establishing which of these phones is the best because you probably already know it and they do not differ too much. Instead, we will focus mainly on the differences you can find between the specifications of the OnePlus Nord 2 5G and the OnePlus Nord 2T.

Design
Unlike the specs sheets, there are important changes between the designs of these two devices. The OnePlus Nord 2 5G comes with a classic rectangle-shaped camera module including three separate sensors placed vertically and a single LED flash. On the OnePlus Nord 2T, you get a camera module with other camera modules inside: there are two round-shaped modules including three sensors, while on the right there are two LED flashes. On the front side, these two phones look more or less the same because they come with the same flat display, the same diagonal, and the same thickness of the bezels. The punch hole is placed on the upper left corner of the display and these two phones have more or less the same size and the same weight. Unfortunately, both these phones come with a plastic frame and a plastic back, so do not expect premium materials.
Display
There are no differences between the OnePlus Nord 2 5G and the OnePlus Nord 2T when it comes to the displays. We are talking about an AMOLED panel with a diagonal of 6.43 inches, a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels, a 90 Hz refresh rate, and the HDR10+ certification, as well as the Gorilla Glass 5 protection for the glass. Both the displays come with an in-display fingerprint reader and both the phones are equipped with stereo speakers, but they have no 3.5 mm audio jack. The displays can be considered pretty good panels, but we are not close to flagship displays. On the right side, there is a power key and the traditional OnePlus alert slider, while the volume buttons are placed on the left side of the phone.
Specs & Software
The OnePlus Nord 2 5G is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 1200 mobile platform: it is MediaTek’s flagship chipset of 2021, it is built at 6 nm and it has an octa-core architecture composed of one Cortex A78 CPU running at a max frequency of 3 GHz, three Cortex A78 running at 2 GHz, and four Cortex A55 running at 2 GHz, as well as a Mali G77 MC9 GPU. The MediaTek Dimensity 1300 chipset found on the OnePlus Nord 2T is exactly the same chipset: it has the same CPUs and the same GPU, as well as the same production process. But there is one different aspect: the Dimensity 1300 supports MediaTek HyperEngine 5.0 gaming technologies, which is an upgrade over the MediaTek Dimensity 1200, which comes with the MediaTek HyperEngine 3.0. That is the reason why the OnePlus Nord 2T might offer a slightly better gaming performance when compared to the vanilla Nord 2 5G. Both the handsets come with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage, and they run Android 12 out of the box, customized by OxygenOS in the Indian and European markets.
Camera
Even under the camera aspect, these two phones are exactly the same. On the rear side, they have a flagship-class Sony IMX766 main camera with a 50 MP resolution and OIS, as well as an 8 MP ultrawide lens and a 2 MP macro camera. On the front, they come with a great 32 MP selfie snapper. Thanks to the presence of the Sony IMX766 main sensor, the camera performance looks amazing in normal photos, but these phones lack optical zoom and they have low-end ultrawide sensors, so they are not so versatile.
The OnePlus Nord 2 5G and the OnePlus Nord 2T are equipped with the same battery sporting a capacity of 4500 mAh. The difference is the fast charging technology: you get 80W fast charging on the new Nord 2T, while the older model supports 65W fast charging.
Price
The starting price of the OnePlus Nord 2T in India is Rs. 28,999 (which roughly translates into $3679, while you need at least Rs. 28,000 (roughly $355) to purchase the vanilla OnePlus Nord 2. The 2T is actually a better choice because it comes with an upgraded chipset and a faster charging technology, but for the rest, these two phones are more or less the same.

According to a 91Mobiles report, the OnePlus smartphone with the CPH2413 model number has been spotted on the BIS certification website by reliable tipster Mukul Sharma.

The leakster also revealed some specifications of the smartphone to spice things up. The optics are expected to be in a triple rear camera setup of 50MP primary camera, an 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens, and a 2MP macro sensor with a front 16MP snapper. The display is rumored to be a 120Hz AMOLED screen and two color options namely Black and Green. Additionally, Sharma also hinted that the smartphone will come in two storage options- an 8 GB+128GB model and a 12GB+256GB storage unit. The device will likely run on Android 12-based Oxygen OS 12.
The news of this device has come as a shocker to the smartphone community, especially when the OnePlus 10T was supposed to be the last flagship device for the company this year. Although, OnePlus as a brand is well known to put out a few options for the consumers to choose from.
Relatedly, the new renders of OnePlus 10T have also surfaced online earlier today. The renders reveal a similar design to the OnePlus 10 Pro with a few minute differences that are clearly visible in the camera placement and the LED-flash module. Further, the reports also claim that the smartphone will come in two color options- Green and Black.
In October 2021, Japanese tech giant Sony Xperia reached an agreement with Chinese company Meizu that would see some elements of Meizu’s Flyme OS integrated on Sony Xperia smartphones. Since then, Xperia phones launched in China are equipped with several Flyme apps bringing a localized user experience.
There are indications that Sony may be toying with the idea of fully integrating Flyme OS on its smartphones. Already, existing Xperia phones sold in China are pre-installed with app store, email, weather, news and information widgets and others adapted by Flyme. However, a survey questionnaire sent out by Sony recently sought feedback from users regarding their experience using the OS delivered with a touch of Flyme features. One of the questions probed users for their view about Flyme fully integrated on the Xperia phones to replace the existing OS.
Rumors of Sony Xperia phones using Meizu’s Flyme OS first emerged in January this year. A Chinese blogger later revealed that Sony disclosed that the Xperia phones in China will on get some localized supplements provided by Meizu with the entire OS still based on stock Android. This survey could be an indication that Sony is having a rethinking. Afterall, the stock Android experience isn’t a trendy think in China as it is elsewhere. Most smartphone makers often offer customizations tailored to suit the needs of the locality it is serving. We will keep you informed as things unfold in this regard.
