The Poco X4 GT seems to be close to its official unveiling as the device has gotten the NBTC certification in Thailand. The rumored Poco X4 GT with model number 22041216G is listed on the Thai certifying authority’s website. Few details were provided for the model.

The certification details indicate that the product is a class B telecommunication machine and equipment. It also specifies that it is a piece of equipment operating in cellular mobile service. The specific name of the device was also given as Poco X4 GT by Xiaomi Technology. There had been prior speculations that the Poco X4 GT is actually a rebranded Redmi Note 11T Pro.

The Redmi Note 11T Pro was unveiled in China last month and it is powered by MediaTek’s Dimensity 8100 chipset. The model runs on Android 12-based MIUI 13 with a RAM/ internal storage configuration of 8GB/256GB. The Redmi Note 11T Pro has a 6.6-inch FHD+ screen with a 144Hz display refresh rate.

There are no indications yet at this time on the specifics. Xiaomi is yet to release any details on the Poco X4 GT launch. We expect the specs confirmation and pricing details to possibly precede the official launch of the Poco X4 GT.

Following the unveiling of the Xiaomi Mi Band 7 in China last month, we expect the global launch any time soon. The latest Xiaomi fitness tracker has howbeit been accidentally dispatched by an unnamed reseller. A certification listing of the Smart Band 7 in Singapore also points to an imminent global release of the device.

It is reported that units of the Mi Band 7 which would hit the global market as Xiaomi Smart Band 7 have been available in Poland for a few weeks now. These units lack any Chinese text on their boxes and the naming style indicating that they could be the global version of the device. An AliExpress global reseller has also been noted to have shipped the device. There are also speculations that there had been a mixup of delivery choices as some customers requesting the Chinese version had gotten a global model instead. It is however noted that the global version only differs from the Chinese version because it accommodates multiple languages.

The Xiaomi Smart Band 7 offers some notable improvements from its predecessor. Two options based on the presence/absence of NFC support are available. Significantly though, the Smart Band 7 does not come with GPS. There are up to 120 sports modes available in the Smart Band 7. It also offers an extended battery life and comfortable use overall. It also has app support via the Zepp Life app. No official date has been put out yet for the global launch of the Band 7.

HTC 5G phone integrated with the VIVERSE platform will launch on June 28

Jun 9, 2022

HTC has scheduled an event for June 28 where it is expected to unveil its latest 5G phone. The company has announced the Login Future event and the 5G smartphone integrated with HTC’s metaverse called Viverse.

HTC had announced during this year’s mobile world congress that it was working on an innovative smartphone to be integrated with its animated virtual world, the Viverse. The launch of the lineup had suffered some hitches due to the pandemic and other issues. An April 2022 launch was inevitably shifted, but we expect the device to pull through this time. There are scant details about the smartphone at this time apart from bits here and there.

An HTC device got a Dutch-based certification last month. The model 2QBK200 was certified by Telefication, while a 15W wireless charger from HTC recently certified also adds little information. If these certifications relate to the expected HTC 5G phone, then we expect it to support wireless charging. The Viverse platform is the culmination of a strong partnership between HTC and an array of telecom companies. It is already functional in the HTC Exodus series of native blockchain phones.

The coming days could see a raft of further details relating to the impending launch. We expect HTC to release the specs list and lineup of smartphones to be unveiled. Pricing and availability details will also emanate.

Samsung faces lawsuit over algorithm that predicts remaining battery life on phones

Jun 9, 2022

Samsung is facing another legal battle over alleged patent violation. The company has been sued by a patent troll over the use of an algorithm that predicts the remaining battery life on its Android smartphones.

The South Korean tech giant is being sued by a company called K. Mizra LLC. For those unaware, a patent troll is basically a term used to describe an entity that acquires and collects patents. Rather than using the technology described in the patents, these companies generate revenue by using “aggressive” litigation and legal battles based on patents. Now, K. Mirzra claims that Samsung infringed on its patent that is related to smartphone battery technology.

The lawsuit was filed against the South Korean company on May 20 in the Dusseldorf Regional Court in Germany. As per the accusation, K. Mizra’s “battery runtime prediction as implemented in Samsung devices using younger versions of the Android OS infringes the German designation of its patent EP 2 174 201 B1.” In other words, the company infringed on a patent that describes an algorithm that can analyze users’ behaviors to predict the remaining battery life of the smartphone.

This also enables the handset to showcase a more precise battery life estimate as well. Thus, K. Mizra claims that this Android based feature on Samsung Galaxy devices are based on the inventions covered in its patents. It remains to be seen how the patent dispute plays out. So stick around for more updates as we will be provide more updates if there are any notable developments with this case.

India Made Underworld Gang Wars Battle Royale crosses 2 million pre-registrations

Jun 9, 2022

Riding the hype and success of PUBG and BGMI in India, many domestic studios have started the development of their own battle royale games for mobile. A good example would be Indus Battle Royale which is a futuristic BR game in development with an Indian flavor.

Now, another Indian studio named Mayhem Studios has begun pre-registrations (on Google Play Store) for their upcoming Battle Royale title dubbed Underworld Gang Wars (UGW). The game has already crossed 2 million pre-registrations in just one week and the numbers are continuously growing.

The game’s trailer has also crossed 17 million views on Youtube and has so far had a positive reception from the Indian mobile gaming community. The game appears to draw inspiration from popular gangster flicks like Gangs of Wasseypur, Sacred Games, and Mirzapur.

So far, the game appears to have a gang based battle royale mode and another game mode that likely pits the two gangs called Bhokal Toli and Velvets against each other. This could be something similar to Battlefield’s war mode where two teams made up of multiple players collide in a ‘capture the objective’ type setting. On the other hand, it could also be a Team Death Match style game mode.

The trailer also reveals a map called “Dhantara” which the devs have stated is based on real life locations in India. The map itself seems quite interesting with diverse locations and varied topography.

As the game is already available for pre registrations, it can be expected to launch sometime this year. Stay tuned for more updates on the Mayhem Studios’ Underworld Gang Wars.

PC makers will be required to mandatorily switch to SSD from HDDs by 2023: Report

By

Jun 9, 2022

It will be mandatory for PC makers to switch from hard disk drives to solid-state drives for all Windows 11 PCs launching in 2023. The information comes from publication Tom’s Hardware which reported that the Redmond-based tech giant is pushing OEMs to drop HDDs as their primary storage and instead shift to SSD.

Currently, a large number of Windows laptops come with hybrid storage systems that include a HDD as well as SSD. The former is used for bulk storage whereas the latter offers performance enhancements like fast loading times, data transfers etc. The report adds that the exact date of shifting from HDDs to SSD is not clear yet but Microsoft had plans of making it a requirement this year. The switch to SSDs is now likely pushed to the second half of 2023.

PCs with hybrid storage systems and only SSDs are quite costly. Apart from this, leading brands including Dell, HP, Lenovo, and more also offer affordable models with only HDD as the storage option. There are also models with eMMC storage for those on a tight budget.

The move to switch to SSD from HDD would result in increased prices of PCs as SSDs are expensive compared to the traditional spinning drives. The additional costs are likely to be transferred to the customers by raising the prices of the laptops and PCs.

Microsoft’s rival Apple already uses SSDs in its MacBook and Mac range of computers.

Realme Pad X could be a game-changer in India if priced under ₹20,000

By

Sudarshan Ravichandran

Jun 9, 2022

Late last month, Realme launched a new tablet in China called Realme Pad X. It is the brand’s first tablet in its home country. The product is expected to debut in India this month. Ahead of its release, I would like to share my opinion on why it could be a game-changer in the region if it is well-priced.

According to Counterpoint Research, ₹10,000-₹20,000 is the most popular price segment in India for tablets. It covers more than half of the total tablet market in the region.

The key players in this segment are Lenovo and Samsung. The former’s Tab M8 and Tab M10 are some of the hottest products.

However, none of these Lenovo tablets or the Galaxy A series tablets from Samsung can be considered value for money. They offer an inferior set of specs for the asking price.

Realme tried to shake the market with the introduction of Realme Pad late last year. The company’s first-ever tablet provides better hardware than the competitors. Despite debuting around the last quarter of 2021, the brand managed to grab a 4% market share.

Now, the company is gearing up to launch the Realme Pad X in the country after releasing the Realme Pad Mini last month. The brand’s third tablet for the region will reportedly go official in the first half of June.

The Realme Pad X starts at ¥1,299 in China for 4GB RAM and 64GB storage. The price roughly translates to ₹15,000. If the brand manages to price it below ₹20,000 in India, then it could be a stellar option for consumers.

Because unlike other tablets under ₹20,000 in India, the Realme Pad X houses a faster chipset. It is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 SoC, the same chip that’s found inside smartphones like Realme 9 Pro 5G and Redmi Note 11 Pro Plus 5G.

On other hand, most of the tablets from other brands are powered by entry-level Mediatek chips. As a result, these tablets are slower and age quickly.

Further, the Pad X from Realme supports 33W fast charging, DC dimming, and stylus input (optional accessory). It also houses Dolby Atmos-supported quad speakers and a front-facing camera with Apple’s Center Stage-like feature.

The aforementioned features cannot be found on any other tablet under ₹20,000 in India. Hence, they make the Realme Pad X stand out in the crowd.

Hopefully, Realme ships the tablet with the Android 12-based Realme UI 3.0 for Pad (a fork of ColorOS 12 for Pad found on Oppo tablets) like in China. Because the two international tablets from the company run a near-stock version of Android with no special features like PC Connect.

Having said that, if the starting price of Realme Pad X crosses ₹20,000 in India, then it would be a tough sell. Because the Xiaomi Pad 5 offers even better value for ₹26,999 or less depending on discounts.

The TÜV Rheinland website has listed the smartphone with support for the standard 10W charging. Other known aspects regarding the device includes a 3GB + 32GB and 4GB + 64GB storage configurations. The two color options include Mint Green and Dark Blue.

Notably, the Narzo 50i Prime will officially be the seventh installment within the Narzo 50 family of the Chinese smartphone maker. Apart from the aforementioned information, the certification databases have also revealed finer details like the 8.48mm in thickness, 181 grams in weight, and dual SIM support. Another notable detail revealed in the FCC listing was a document that stated that the Narzo 50i Prime will be based on the existing Realme C30 (RMX3581) but with a few changes in the camera module on the rear.

Samsung’s first 5G smartphone demoted to quarterly updates

Jun 9, 2022

Back in April, Samsung discontinued the Galaxy S9 series software support and also moved the Galaxy S10 series from monthly to quarterly updates. However, the Galaxy S10 5G, the company’s first 5G smartphone, was excluded from this and enjoyed a monthly update schedule because it was launched a few months after the 4G variants. But now the Galaxy S10 5G has also been demoted to a quarterly update schedule.

Samsung Galaxy S10 5G was launched in early 2019 and holds the title of “Samsung’s first 5G smartphone”. The smartphone was launched in two Soc variants- Exynos 9820 and Snapdragon 855.

The handset has been getting monthly security updates since its launch. But now that it is over 3 years old, the company is degrading it to a quarterly update schedule meaning it will receive security patches once in three months.

The Galaxy S10 5G received its last update in the form of the May Security Patch, which means it will not receive its next update until August. The OG S10 5G is nearing its end of life and the smartphone will also not be receiving any major OS updates now. Android 12 OS was the end-game for it.

In addition, a few mid-range devices have also gone through a change of update schedule. The Galaxy A41, Galaxy A51 5G, and Galaxy M01 have now been moved to a bi-annual update schedule meaning they will only be updated twice a year. The Galaxy M13 has been added to the quarterly update cycle and will receive security updates once every three months.

Moreover, Samsung is retiring the Galaxy A6 and Galaxy J7 Duo, both smartphones will no longer be eligible for any updates.

While the Lenovo Tab P12 Pro has already been launched in the global market, the company has just released the high end tablet for the Indian market but with a hefty price tag.

Talking about the specs of the Tab P12 Pro first, it sports a 12.6 inch AMOLED display with a 2560 x 1600 resolution and HDR10+ support. Under the hood, it is equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 SoC paired with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. A large 10,200mAh battery pack powers the device which supports 30W fast charging as well. The rear packs a 13 megapixel dual camera setup while the front houses an 8 megapixel selfie shooter.

For those unaware, the Chinese company’s Tab P12 Pro had launched in China as the Xiaoxin Pad Pro 12.6 back in November 2021. This model started from around 560 US Dollars in the Chinese market. But in India, the cost is nearly double, with a starting price of 69,999 INR, which is roughly 900 US Dollars. So, the tablet arrives months late and with a premium price tag. At this price, it competes with the likes of other high end tablets like the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8, which starts from 70,999 INR.

Interestingly, the new tablet is also one of the few devices that are eligible for the Android 12L. This OS version was announced by Google last year and was specifically made for large screen gadgets and foldable devices.

Recently, Poco India teased the global debut of Poco F4 5G in the country. Yesterday, the device leaked in its entirety revealing almost everything about it. Today, the brand has officially confirmed the chipset that will be powering this upcoming smartphone.

According to the official Twitter account of Poco India, the forthcoming Poco F4 5G will house a Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 chipset underneath it. The brand calls this chip the ‘most optimized processor’, and it ain’t wrong.

The same SoC is also found inside last year’s Poco F3 5G, which goes by Mi 11X 5G in India and Redmi K40 in China. The chipset also powers other popular flagship killer smartphones like the iQOO Neo 6 (India), iQOO 7 (India), Realme GT Neo 3T, and Realme GT Neo 2.

Thanks to a leak, we know more about the Poco F4 5G apart from its SoC. The device is nothing but a rebranded Redmi K40S.

Therefore, the Poco F4 5G will arrive with a 6.67-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and Dolby Vision support. Its chip will be paired with LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 storage.

The handset will boot MIUI 13 based on Android 12 and will be backed by a 4,500mAh battery with support for 67W fast charging. It will come with dual stereo speakers, a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, and an IR blaster.

Last but not least, the Poco F4 5G will feature a 64MP OIS-assisted primary camera instead of an OIS-assisted 48MP main camera on the Redmi K40S. Anyway, it is expected to have the same 8MP ultra-wide unit, 2MP macro snapper, and 20MP front-facing shooter.
