Last month, Realme officially teased the Realme GT 2 Master Explorer Edition smartphone, stating that it will be the brand’s first Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 flagship. Since then, some specs of the device have been leaked and it also recently appeared on the TENAA certification database.

Now, tipster Yogesh Brar has tweeted out the entire spec sheet of the upcoming GT 2 Master Explorer Edition, so let’s take a look at what the smartphone has in store for us.
Starting with the display, the tipster states that the GT 2 Master Explorer Edition will come with a 6.7-inch Full HD+ AMOLED panel. The panel will offer up to a 120Hz refresh rate.
Under the hood, we will get the latest Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC which is manufactured by TSMC on their 4nm node, making the chip more energy efficient. Memory options available for the device will be 8GB and 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM, and it will be offered in 128GB and 256GB UFS 3.1 storage configurations. A large 5,000mAh battery pack will power the smartphone and it will have 100W fast charging support. Other than that, the device will operate on Android 12-based Realme UI 3.0.
Coming to optics, the tipster informs that the GT 2 Master Explorer Edition will have a triple camera setup headlined by a 50-megapixel Sony IMX766 sensor (with OIS. It will be paired with a 50-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera and a 2-megapixel macro camera. For now, the launch date of the device is still under wraps, however, rumors have claimed that Realme is planning to launch the smartphone sometime in June.
Today we are going to introduce a new phone from Tecno, the SPARK 9 Pro. Tecno is a brand that I’m sure no one is unfamiliar with. Their phones are selling very well in emerging countries and regions. The SPARK 9 Pro is one of their new entry-level phones, which is available for only around $170. Interestingly, after using the SPARK 9 Pro for a while, it gave me a new perspective on entry-level phones.
Let’s take a quick look at what’s in the box for the SPARK 9 Pro. A hard PC case. I really like this case because usually soft cases will turn yellow after a while, PC cases do not. Then there is a 18w charger. Card pin and charging cable, and a wired headset. Yes, it has a headphone jack. And there’s an even rarer feature than the headphone jack: the message alert light.
This is very useful on phones without AOD. In addition, the SIM card slot supports both dual SIM and SD Card, and has a red rubber ring to prevent water and dust ingress, indicating that the SPARK 9 Pro is to some extent waterproof. Even though it is sold at a low price, it does not use the Micro-B charging port. The fingerprint recognition is also on the side instead of on the back. And it looks really good.
The back and bezel are purely flat, and the part of the hand grip is frosted. The logo and slogan are on the right side, I prefer this way of putting them in the corner than the practice of enlarging the slogan. The camera module has only two circles, very simple. That’s right, an entry-level phone camera does not need to have much-exaggerated design, simple is the best.
TECNO SPARK 9 Pro Review: Cameras
SPARK 9 Pro comes with a 32MP front camera. Compared to many 8MP or 16MP front cameras, it wins at least in the number of pixels. And there’s an AI Portrait enhancer feature that will make your photos sharper even in low light conditions. It’s not a gimmick, it really enhances the clarity of the photo. And in its beauty mode, as you can see in this photo, the mole is removed from the face.
Beauty mode
Its front camera even works with Super Night mode, which improves exposure and reduces noise at night. It also has the Ring Screen Fill-in Light, a message alert light that can be used as a front-facing flash, which is only available on some phones that focus on selfies.
flash light + night mode
It simply turned my perception of entry phones upside down. It’s not recommended to turn on the flash when it’s very dark, because your hair might blend in with the background. Many flagship phones have a front camera that can only record 1080P video, but this 32MP front camera supports video recording at up to 2K resolution. It doesn’t have EIS, but once you think about its price, you feel that the Tecno SPARK 9 Pro’s front camera is way ahead of phones in its price range.
After introducing the front camera, let’s take a look at the rear camera. The rear camera of SPARK 9 Pro is a bit more ordinary compared to the front. There is only one 50MP main camera, the other two are auxiliary lenses. But the main camera is a bit surprisingly good in everyday use. The dynamic range is excellent, and the images are clear. Perhaps because of the Bokeh camera, the bokeh effect in portrait mode is very good. I really like the effect of this bokeh background, as long as it does not go wrong, it is very much like a photo taken by a professional camera.
1 of 3
While the daytime photos are not much better than other brands, the photos in the dark light will surely surprise you. Night photos in auto mode are just like any other entry phone, easily partially overexposed, which is a normal performance at this price point. But once you turn on super night mode, the quality of your photos will soar. Dynamic range is improved and exposure in low light is back to normal, looking like a photo taken by a $300+ phone. Generally speaking, entry-level phones can’t do this, so it seems that TECNO has really worked hard on the night mode algorithm.
1 of 7
By the way, the main camera of SPARK 9 Pro also supports 2K 30fps video recording. Because there is no EIS, you better not record while walking.
TECNO SPARK 9 Pro Review: Performance & Battery
The screen of SPARK 9 Pro is an FHD+ LCD screen. This waterdrop LCD screen is the standard specification for entry-level phones.
The processor is MTK’s G85, also an entry processor and PUBG can only be turned on at 30fps, but the good news is that the game frame rate is stable.
And it’s very power saving, with its big 5000mAh battery, 20 minutes of PUBG only consumes 4%. 30 minutes of Tiktok consumes 4%. 1080P online video consumes 5%. Anyway, I wasn’t able to drain its battery in a day.
Most of the starter phones we’ve seen are pretty much the same, except for slightly different designs. But the SPARK 9 Pro is the only entry phone I’ve seen that focuses on selfies. And the rear camera is also so good that it’s hard to believe this is an entry-level phone that only sells for $170.
If you have higher requirements for photos and selfies, then it’s definitely worth buying at this price point.

Apple’s entry-level iPads are great devices, in fact, they are the company’s most popular tablet. They are ideal for someone who wants a balance of features and affordability. The newest affordable iPads come with an A13 Bionic chip, a decent front-facing camera, and more. But its next-gen could be even better as it is reported Apple is working on a revamp of the low-cost entry-level iPad that will improve the device’s feature set.
According to a report by 9to5mac, Apple is planning to bring a number of upgrades to its entry-level iPad that will bring it up to speed with the rest of the iPad series. As per the report, the 2022 iPad, which is codenamed J272, will include a USB-C port instead of a Lightning port. This indicates that Apple will finally add USB-C to the whole iPad series. The iPad Pro received the Type-c port in 2018, the iPad Air in 2020, and the iPad Mini in 2021.
Apple iPad 10.2 (2021)
The publication states that Apple intends to upgrade the entry-level iPad with the A14 Bionic chip, which is used in the 4th-generation iPad Air. When compared to the A13 Bionic used in the current entry-level iPad, the A14 chip offers approximately 30% performance benefits. Apple will also introduce 5G network capabilities for cellular models.
According to the report, the new entry-level iPad will have a Retina display with the same resolution as the iPad Air, but it may have a 10.5-inch or even 10.9-inch display rather than the present model’s 10.2-inch LCD. But the more advanced display specifications, such as a wide color gamut with DCI-P3 and increased brightness, will, however, be reserved for more expensive iPads.
There’s not much information available about the rest of the features of the device. We can expect it to launch in the fall of this year.
As gasoline prices rise in China, a discussion arose in the country regarding the future of automobiles. Xpeng Motors CEO He Xiaopeng also weighed in with his own comments and even announced the arrival of the next generation of superchargers for EVs.
The senior executive stated that EV (Electric Vehicle) users typically focus on the efficiency and convenience of charging their vehicles. So, the Chinese EV maker has plans to launch a new generation of superchargers for EVs that will be up to four times faster than the current generation of superchargers offered in the market. Through this, the next gen superchargers will be able to charge an electric vehicle from 10 percent to 80 percent in just 12 minutes.
With NEV (New Energy Vehicles) becoming increasingly more popular, improvements in supplementing technology would only help boost their sales even further. Current standards of EVs would have you charging for a couple of hours to even under an hour depending on the charging rates. But that still is quite a bit longer than a gasoline refill at a gas station. So, these next gen superchargers might help EVs better solidify their position in the automobile industry.
Earlier this year He Xiaopeng had announced that XPeng’s supercharging stations were the most extensive among other Chinese EV brands with a total of 169 self operated stations in China and a total of 954 charging networks available al across the country. So this improvement in charging technology should soon be reflected on these stations as well.
Japan is planning on setting up a domestic manufacturing base that will produce cutting edge 2nm process based chips. The country will also be working with the US to help realize these plans by the year 2025.
According to a NikkeiAsiareport, Japan is gearing up to join the race in commercializing the next generation of advanced chipsets. Thus, Tokyo and Washington will be providing support to each other through a semiconductor technology partnership. Furthermore, this cooperation will also involve private companies from both countries as well, which will help in research on design and mass production as well. Notably, the TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company) is already on its way to developing mass production technology for its advanced 2nm process.
Meanwhile, Japan is seeking to secure a stable supply of semiconductors through domestic production of next gen chips. At the same time, the partnership with the US might also include the establishment of a new company or Japanese corporations may even set up a new manufacturing hub as well. As of right now, the nation’s Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry is offering subsidies to lower the cost of research and development into advanced semiconductors.
The joint research will begin this year, with a research and mass production center planned to be formed between 2025 and 2027. Notably, the world’s largest contract chipmaker, TSMC, is also setting up a chip fab in Japan’s Kumamoto Prefecture. However, this plant will not produce advanced chips and focus on chip technology ranging from 10nm to 20nm processes.
Apple launched its new iPhone 13 variants recently. Apart from the new colors, these devices are the same iPhone 13 devices we saw last year. However, the colors make the new iPhones stand out from their similar counterparts from last year. But it is not a good practice to use the phone as it is without any protection. Something as basic as a back cover is necessary for an iPhone. Otherwise, broken back glass could set you back well over half the price of the iPhone.
So let’s look at some of the best iPhone 13 cases to protect your smartphone.
Choosing a case might be more confusing than choosing a smartphone. There are countless brands and options when it comes to iPhone 13 cases in the market right now. Official cases from Apple are easy choices to start. Or you could get yourself a fancy case from a third-party dealer.
Best iPhone 13 cases and covers
Official Apple Cases
There are countless choices for you to choose from the vast collection of smartphone cases. Apple sells cases under the “official iPhone cases” label through their retail stores and website. You can purchase these official accessories if you don’t like to stray out of the Apple ecosystem. Apple offers its cases in materials including silicone, leather, and transparent materials. You can also buy cases from third-party dealers from the Apple store. However, keep in mind that these cases come at a premium like all other Apple products. Here are the models from Apple that are worth giving a try.
Apple Silicone Case with MagSafe
The silicone case from Apple is available for almost all iPhones, and they’ve now updated it with MagSafe. Even though the silicone cases cost in the range of 50s, they do feel premium for what you’re paying. These cases have a smooth texture that won’t compromise the grip. There is an inner microfiber layer to protect the phone from scratches. Also, you can choose from a plethora of colors while buying a silicone case for your iPhone 13.
If you’re someone who isn’t interested in spoiling the native color and look of your smartphone, you might get yourself a clear case. The clear case from Apple follows a minimalist design and offers sufficient grip. These cases use optically clear polycarbonate and other flexible materials. A scratch-resistant coating on either side of the case guarantees some degree of scratch resistance. Apple claims they’ve optimized these cases to prevent yellowing over time.
Leather is one of the best choices if you’re looking for a premium phone case. No one knows this better than Apple. Their custom Leather cases feel soft to the touch. Genuine leather will develop a natural patina over time. Patina will further enrich the look and feel of the material.
With the Apple official cases out of the way, let’s see some of the best protective cases for your brand new iPhone 13. As we said, choosing a smartphone case can be more confusing than choosing a smartphone. Rugged phone cases offer unmatched protection, but they often add half a pound to the overall weight of the package. Clear phone cases are a great way to show off the Apple logo without actually showing off the Apple logo. Thin phone cases protect your device without taking up too much real estate. Wallet and kickstand cases offer additional functionality. Silicone cases keep a low profile while ensuring extreme comfort for extended periods of use. Fancy and colored phone cases are a great way of mirroring your thoughts.
Best Rugged Cases for iPhone 13
There is no denying that rugged phone cases offer the best possible protection for any smartphone. However, you should sacrifice certain aspects of a smartphone if you’re seriously into such phone cases.
Urban Armor Gear UAG Case for iPhone 13
This multilayer iPhone 13 case is ideal for users who have the habit of drop testing their iPhones. It uses a combination of an armor frame along with polycarbonate, metal, and rubber. The top-grain leather on the top offers comfort and grip. However, you might struggle with third-party or even official wireless chargers while using this case. The case has been drop tested for up to 20 feet.
Screen protectors are more important than a case, and SUPCASE did a neat job with theirUnicorn Beetle Pro Case. This one comes with a built-in screen protector and a detachable swiveling belt clip holster for a pocket-free experience. The included TPU bumper and raised bezels will keep your device in one piece even during falls of up to 20 feet.
This one is arugged phone case with a clear back. The Aluminum frame can protect your phone from falls of up to 10 feet. Raptic claims they’ve taken measures to prevent yellowing over time of the clear part of the case.
Clear phone cases are ideal for people who don’t wish to ruin the phone’s look and feel. iPhone users, in particular, might know the struggle of hiding the Apple logo on their devices. Most leading clear case manufacturers have managed to get rid of the yellowing of these cases.
Spigen Ultra Hybrid Clear Case for iPhone 13
This one is aclear hardcover that uses a TPU bumper with a PC layer at the back. The raised edges ensure protection to the edges and screen of the phone. However, the combination of TPU and PC might mean it won’t be a pleasant experience to hold the phone for extended periods.
Here is yet anotherphone case that comes with a built-in screen protector. The hardcover uses TPU for the frame and PC for the back. However, this clear case has more flexibility than the previous one. It can also withstand drops of up to 20 feet.
This one is aclear case that offers near glasslike transparency. Acrylic is responsible for this unique property of the clear case. The material has the reflective properties of glass while not breaking as fast as glass. However, the material is still prone to scratches. A TPU frame protects the acrylic back and the phone from dents and scratches.
Silicone cases might be the best choice when it comes to comfort. The user can hold their phones with a silicone case for hours without numbing their palm. These cases often come in a minimal design that could attract many who want a simple case.
K TOMOTO Silicone Case for iPhone 13
A simple silicone case with a silky texture looks and feels premium in hand. The user can choose from over 18 solid-color designs to match any occasion. Raised edges and shockproof nature of the silicone ensures your device stays protected from accidental bumps.
The Miracase silicone case is best suited for users looking for thin silicone cases. Measuring only 2.3mm, this one comes with a smooth surface that offers unmatched comfort. The case also features raised edges for all-around protection.
This soft silicone case features an anti-scratch microfiber lining. It makes it the best of the three that can take some abuse. The case has sufficient grip, which in no way has altered the smoothness and comfort of a silicone case.
Thin phone cases are for those who aren’t interested in adding a phone case that would add mass to their phones. If you’ve made up your mind about a thin case, remember that these cases aren’t the best for protecting your phone from the unexpected.
ESR Cloud Soft Case for iPhone 13
A thin silicone case for your iPhone 13 that looks and feels minimal. It features an anti-scratch microfiber lining to protect the device from scratches. The case will also not obstruct the wireless charging feature of the phone.
This slim hardcover comes in a frosted black design. Unlike other cases in our list, this one lets the user swap the button color to anything they like. Even though it is a hardcover case, the TORRAS thin case feels surprisingly light in hand.
This thin case comes with a frosted translucent PC layer at the back. TPU is used to strengthen the edge of the case. Also, this 2.3mm case can withstand falls from up to 10 feet.
Kickstand phone cases are best suited for users who often watch movies and show in landscape mode. This way, they could stop holding the phone upright for the entire time.
Ruky Kickstand Case for iPhone 13
This one comes with a kickstand along with a belt clip. The kickstand is in the form of a ring. The user can rotate it in any orientation for a portrait or landscape viewing experience. Ruky is also marketing this one as a rugged phone case.
The TORRAS MarsClimber is a translucent matte case for your iPhone 13 equipped with a kickstand. It features an adjustable kickstand made from metal and uses flexible TPU in combination with rubber as the primary build material.
Spigen uses TPU and Polycarbonate as the primary build materials, and they’ve managed to pull it off cleanly. The kickstand tucks up neatly in the bottom left corner of the case. Thecase is MIL-STD 810G-516.6 certified.
Smartphones have replaced many things in our life. And now wallet cases for smartphones seem to be slowly replacing our wallets. It is good to keep money in our hands rather than our pockets.
Taporse Flip Case for iPhone 13
The case uses leather in combination with TPU as the primary materials. It features multiple cardholders and small pockets to keep money or anything small. Also, the cardholders double up as a kickstand.
The ONETOP wallet case also features multiple cardholders at the back. It also comes with dedicated pockets for keeping the change. However, you might find some discomfort accessing your cards and valuables from the back of your phone. Faux leather is the material used for making the case.
The TUCCH wallet case is a PU leather case that folds from the front of the phone. It will make it easier for the user to access the contents of the wallet. The wallet also doubles up as an excellent kickstand.
It’d be best if we left this one for you to choose. Colors are subjective, and the choice will vary from person to person. However, here are some of our picks if you’re having difficulty choosing one.
GVIEWIN Glossy Marble Case for iPhone 13
This TPU case features a glossy marble design that could attract many. The case is surprisingly hard, so you can slap it to your iPhone with confidence. It should be able to absorb the most impact during a hit or fall.
This one features a breath-taking starry design that could grab the attention of anyone who sees it for the first time. It might be an ideal choice to gift for your partner, even if Valentine’s day has passed. The case is made from TPU and comes with a raised edge.
This case has a transparent TPU design with an imprinted floral pattern. It also comes with a dedicated screen protector for your iPhone, so we’d say it’s worth a try. Also, women might find the design more appealing.

Over the last couple of weeks, we have reported on various rumors regarding the upcoming Nothing Phone (1). This is the company’s first ever smartphone, and recently it was even spotted in a BTS (Behind the Scene) video.
The highly anticipated Phone (1) was spotted in the video, in the hands of the brand’s founder Carl Pei. The senior executive has been behind the brand’s strategy for creating hype behind all of its products and the new video upload on YouTube was also a part of this plan. The video was titled “Preparing phone (1) ft. Carl Pei” and was shared on the company’s official YouTube channel.

As for the launch of the 14.1-inch iPad, after the reports of the device going official sometime later this year, the reports now claim that the tablet won’t be launched until the first quarter of 2023.
