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. The new Tab P12 Pro for India is currently listed on Amazon, company’s official website, and even exclusive Lenovo retail stores as well.
Earlier today, Noise launched the ColorFit Pulse Buzz smartwatch in the Indian market. The company is also gearing up to debut a new pair of TWS earphones in India dubbed the Noise Buds VS104.
The earbuds have already received a landing page on Amazon India, that mentions the earbuds will launch on June 14th at 12 PM (IST). The smartwatch will debut with a special launch price of ₹999 which is likely to go up later. Additionally, the earphones will also have a discount of ₹104 for the first 140 minutes i.e till 1:44 PM IST.
Noise Buds VS104 specs & features
The Buds VS104 features a contoured design for a snug and comfortable fit. It has a traditionally shaped case with LED lights to indicate the charging level of the earbuds.
The Buds VS104 comes with large 13mm drivers and features strong bass output thanks to the Noise ‘Tru Bass’ tuning. The earbuds use Bluetooth 5.2 for connectivity that provides an uninterrupted connection up to 10 meters. The earbuds also use the ‘Hyper Sync’ technology to offer instant wake and pair as soon as you flip the charging case’s lid.
Coming to the battery life, the TWS earbuds offer a total of up to 30-hours of playback including the charging case. The device uses a USB Type-C port for charging and boasts up to 1 hour of playtime with just 10 minutes of charging. Lastly, the earbuds will come in four color options – Black, White, Green, and Blue.
Noise had recently announced a new smartwatch for the Indian market. Now, the company’s new ColorFit Pulse Buzz has gone on sale in the region. So lets have a look at its pricing and availability.
The brand’s new smart wearable has launched with a 1.69 inch TFT LCD panel that has a 240 x 280 resolutions. One of its most highlighting aspect includes the Bluetooth calling feature. It even arrives with support for more than 150 customizable watch faces offered in the NoiseFit Prime application. Under the hood, the smartwatch is powered by a 230mAh battery pack, which the brand claims will last for up to 7 days on a single full charge.
Being a modern day smartwatch, it features various health tracking features like the heart rate sensor, SpO2 blood oxygen monitoring, sleep mapping, blood pressure tracking, and even menstrual cycle tracking as well. It even comes with 60 sports modes and supports, SMS, reminders, and weather updates as well.
The new ColorFit Pulse Buzz arrives in multiple color options, including a Rose pink, Jet black, Olive green, Champagne grey, and Electric blue variant. The Noise ColorFit Pulse Buzz smartwatch is priced at 3,499 INR (roughly 45 US Dollars) in India. It is currently listed on the company’s official website and even Amazon India as well. The brand is also offering a flat 100 INR cashback when purchasing the smartwatch via the MobiKwik wallet.
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.
Redmi K40S
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.
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.
OnePlus is apparently planning on launching a new budget entry level smartphone soon under the Nord family. The handset’s name is confirmed to be the Nord N20 SE, which was spotted on the TDRA certification website.
Looking at the listing, the device carries the model number CPH2469 and was even spotted on FCC certification last week. For those unaware, the smartphone was spotted on FCC and was believed to the be most affordable Nord phone till date. While the previous certification listing did not reveal any finer details, the TDRA listing has confirmed its Nord 20 SE name. Notably, this handset will be the company’s first to feature the SE moniker.
However, looking at its model number, it appears that the Nord 20 SE might be a rebranded model of the Oppo A57. As of right now, the TDRA listing did not reveal any specifications regarding this upcoming OnePlus smartphone. Although, based on what we know regarding the A57, the Nord N20 SE might sport a 6.57 inch HD+ display that has a waterdrop notch on the front. Under the hood, it could also house a MediaTek Helio G35 SoC and might be powered by a large 5,000mAh battery pack.
Similar to the A57, the OnePlus Nord N20 SE could also be priced under the 15,000 INR mark (roughly 192 US Dollars). Other possible features include, a 13 megapixel dual camera setup on the rear, up to 8GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage, support for virtual RAM expansion and microSD card slot for additional storage, and Android 12 OS.
Samsung has arguably the best wireless chargers in the market. The company has developed a wide range of portable wireless chargers that offer fast charging and can even be used to charge 2-3 devices simultaneously. And now a EUIPO trademark listing suggests that the tech giant is working on a new wireless charger, dubbed Samsung Wireless Charger+.
As initially spotted by tipster Mukul Sharma, Samsung has filed a trademark application for a new wireless charger known as Samsung Wireless Charger+ on the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) website. The Charger has been spotted with filling number 018713898. The trademark application has been accepted by the EUIPO meaning it has met the minimum filing requirements but it has not yet been assigned to an examiner.
Currently, only the moniker of the wireless Charger is confirmed and no other details are available. It is possible that the wireless charger could come in a flat-surface design like most of the previous models and it may support fast charging. However, it would be unwise to say anything this soon. We hope to learn more in the coming days.
In other news, Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4, Z Flip, and Watch 5 series launch date has been revealed by tipster Jon Prosser. As per the tipster, the aforementioned Galaxy devices will be unveiled on August 10. The tipster has also revealed the color variants of the two foldables- The Galaxy Z Fold 4 will come in Phantom Black, Green, and Beige colors. Whereas, the Galaxy Z Flip 4 will be available in colors like Graphite, Bora Purple, Pink Gold, and Blue.
Ever since the concept of under-display cameras has come out, it seems that few phones are willing to try this new technology. It’s true that taking selfies with it will be poor, but you can’t ignore the fact that it can give us a perfect display of a full screen. As one of the pioneers of under-display camera phones, ZTE has upgraded this technology on their latest flagship phone: Axon 40 Ultra. It is probably the best under-display camera smartphone you can buy right now.
ZTE Axon 40 Ultra Review: Design & Under screen Display
I’ve been using this phone for a week now, and while its square design is not destined to fit in my palm, I still love it. It’s different from other phones in that the top and bottom are flat, much like the previous Samsung Note series. But you still can tell the difference between them by the camera module. The Axon 40 Ultra has a similar camera module to its predecessor, but because the camera has been upgraded, it is much larger overall. The SIM slot is still dual-SIM only. There is an infrared emitter and stereo speakers with DTS support. And the joint between the frame and the back panel is smoother, making it better to hold than the Axon 30 Ultra. So the Axon 40 Ultra has little change in appearance compared to the Axon 30 Ultra, but the details are better done.
You must be very concerned about its under display camera, and so am I. So is this third-generation under-display camera selfie better? No, I don’t feel that its selfie effect has been improved. As with the previous under display camera phone, if you like to take selfies, I suggest you choose another phone. Especially in low light, believe me, you won’t be thinking about taking selfies.

The upgrade point is mainly in the display part. Axon 40 Ultra can finally drive the pixels in the front lens area independently. Compared to Axon 30, you can notice that the resolution of the font will not be reduced. This time, you really don’t notice it when watching videos or playing games. It is also not darker than other areas at the highest brightness.
However, we still found its weakness, there will be a black streak in the front lens area in the gray interface or at low brightness. But don’t worry, you won’t find this problem most of the time you use it. Let’s hope that this problem will be fixed through the system when the global version is officially launched.
The Axon 40 Ultra’s screen looks good overall, with a peak brightness of 1500 nits. The default color is a bit greenish, but it’s good to know that you can manually adjust the screen color temperature yourself. I think the visual impact of this complete and flawless screen is better than any specification.
ZTE Axon 40 Ultra Review: Camera Performance
The Axon 40 Ultra’s camera system is not only very strong, but also very interesting. Most phones use a 28mm lens for the main camera, but the Axon 40 Ultra main camera is a 35mm one.
Many users who like photography should know the benefits of a 35mm lens. With less distortion than 28mm and wider than 50mm, it is one of the favorite lenses of many street photographers. Simply put, the photos look better with a handful of shots. The colors are not overly bright either, very clear and very nice. What I like most is the way ZTE handles night scenes. Taking a picture in auto mode will restore the scene as your eyes see it. If you take a picture in night mode, it’s just like any other flagship phone, the picture is very bright. In scenes with more light sources, it doesn’t pull up the exposure even when the night mode is turned on, still retaining the atmosphere of the night.

This approach, which allows the user to make their own choices, is also reflected in the autofocus. If you’ve seen our vivo phone review, you know how much I hate it when the system AI automatically switches lenses. The Axon 40 Ultra lets you choose whether the lens is switched by AI, and if you turn it off, you can lock in a lens shot even if it’s not Pro mode. I super love this switch, I hope Vivo can learn from it.
1 of 4
It is rare that the Axon 40 Ultra uses a large area sensor for both the ultra-wide camera and the telephoto camera. Both cameras perform very well. The telephoto lens in particular gives very good image quality even at night. In my week of use, I can use any focal length I want without reducing the image quality, which is a very good camera experience.
What surprised me even more is that Axon 40 Ultra supports 4k 120fps or 8k video recording for both main and ultra-wide cameras. The telephoto camera is also supposed to support 8K video recording, as the official Chinese website says so. But perhaps because we are the lab system version or the global version, so the telephoto camera can not currently shoot more than 4k resolution. Even so, I have been very satisfied with its video performance.
ZTE Axon 40 Ultra Review: Performance and Gaming
The Axon 40 Ultra is powered by Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. The benchmark score, which you can pause to look at, is the normal 8 Gen 1 level. What disappoints me is the gaming performance, ZTE doesn’t seem to want to let go of all the performance of the processor and let us play to our heart’s content.
If it’s a game like PUBG that doesn’t require full performance Axon 40 Ultra can really run stable. But once your gaming needs get high, then its frame rate curve becomes less than pretty. Just like Vivo, the mobile games that took superb photos this year didn’t perform well, so we’re not going to blame this ZTE’s photo flagship.
The Axon 40 Ultra Global Edition has a charging power of 65w, which is not superfast, but it’s good enough. 33% is charged in 10 minutes, and it takes 45 minutes to fill. Unfortunately, there is still no wireless charging. The battery capacity has been increased to 5000mAh, except when the game will consume more power, the battery life is basically the same level as other Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. If my personal use scenario, turn on the 5G network and do not play games, a full charge can be used for about 8 hours out.
The new MyOS 12 system has become much better. Many features are available, and the operation logic is very reasonable. If the previous MyOS was not that good, this time MyOS is really able to compete with other brands’ systems.
Axon 40 Ultra is actually an improved version of Axon 30 Ultra. The strength of each lens has been strengthened, the hole-punch has been removed, the battery capacity has been increased, and the system has become better.
You can have many reasons not to buy it, but one reason to buy it is enough, that is: Axon 40 Ultra is currently the world’s best under display camera phone.
Realme GT Neo 3T was recently launched in Indonesia alongside the Realme GT Neo 3 and Realme Buds Air 3’s Nitro Blue edition. Now it seems that the India launch of the Realme GT Neo 3T might also be just around the corner as its support page has gone live in the country. The support page shows the prices of the various spare parts of the smartphone. The Chinese company is yet to officially confirm the smartphone’s availability in India.
As initially spotted by tipster Mukul Sharma, the Realme GT Neo 3T’s support page has gone live on Realme‘s India website indicating an imminent launch. The support page shows the prices of different spare parts such as the fingerprint scanner, front camera, power adapter, rear camera (macro), and USB cable.
As mentioned above, the smartphone has already been unveiled in Indonesia so, its specifications are all out. Let’s check them out.
Realme GT Neo 3T Specifications
Realme GT Neo 3T flaunts a 6.62-inch E4 AMOLED display and carries support for a 120Hz refresh rate. The handset draws power from a Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 SoC paired with the Adreno 650 GPU.

OnePlus has been on a launch spree this year. The company recently launched OnePlus 10R as an affordable flagship and there are also rumors that the BBK-owned company is bringing back the ‘T’ series with the OnePlus 10T 5G. However, the company has still not confirmed or denied the launch of the much-awaited Vanilla OnePlus 10, but tipster Yogesh Brar is here to rectify that.
According to the tipster, the Vanilla OnePlus 10 codenamed ‘Project Ovaltine’ will launch by the end of July. The tipster also confirms that the smartphone will be powered by Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 Soc.
OnePlus 10* (Project Ovaltine) another Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 smartphone
Brar’s report seems to be in conflict with Max Jambor who earlier denied the existence of the vanilla version and claimed that the OnePlus 10T 5G is going to be the last and only flagship coming out by the brand this year.
All these leaks and rumors show just how messed up OnePlus’ lineup has gotten. First, the company skipped the standard OnePlus 10 and jumped straight to the Pro model. Now it appears that the Chinese tech giant will finally make up for its mistakes and launch the standard version.
OnePlus 10 Pro
Anyways, the details about the alleged OnePlus 10 are pretty short. However, if previous leaks and rumors are to be believed, the smartphone could sport a 6.7-inch LTPO2 AMOLED screen offering FHD+ resolution. The smartphone is likely to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor paired with either 8GB or 12GB RAM and 128GB or 256GB of storage.
It may pack a decent 4,800mAh battery capacity and could support 150W fast charging. Talking about the cameras, The OnePlus 10 is expected to feature triple rear cameras with the Hasselblad branding, consisting of a 50MP main camera, a 16MP ultrawide camera, and a 2MP macro shooter. While it may house a 32MP selfie camera on the front.
Apple has a lineup of iPad and last year, the company launched its most popular tablet in the market, the iPad Pro which was powered by the Apple Silicon M1 chipset that was launched for the Mac devices.
Now, the technology giant is gearing up to launch a refreshed version of the iPad Pro in the coming months and a report claims that Apple will launch a new 14.1-inch display model.
If the report turns out to be true, then this will be the first 14.1-inch tablet from the company and the one with the largest display size so far from Apple. As of now, the iPad Pro models are available in two sizes — 11-inch and 12.4-inch.
Based on the rumors, the iPad Pro models getting launched this year will come with a base configuration of 16GB RAM and 512GB of internal storage. This could make it the most powerful tablet in the market, especially if it ends up getting powered by the newly announced Apple Silicon’s M2 processor.
The 11-inch and 12.9-inch models are not expected to have any major changes compared to their predecessors. There are reports suggesting that the 12.9-inch iPad Pro 2022 could come with narrower bezels.
While the launch timeline for the upcoming tablets from Apple has not been revealed, the devices are likely to get launched along with the next-generation iPhone. The event could also witness the launch of the Apple Watch Series 8 and the Apple AirPods Pro 2.

As per the reports, the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra will be equipped with a 200-megapixel Samsung HM1 ISOCELL sensor. It’s noteworthy that processors like Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 support a maximum single-camera resolution of up to 200MP.
On the other hand, the two other models in the lineup, Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23 Plus are expected to have a 108-megapixel primary camera sensor. All three models will come with multiple camera sensors on the back panel.
Based on the reports so far, the Galaxy S23 series smartphones will come with an LTPO display with a dynamic screen refresh rate ranging from 10Hz to 120Hz. The devices will come powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor and Samsung’s own Exynos flagship chipset, depending on the region.
The devices will come equipped with the Qualcomm X70 5G modem for better connectivity features. As for the software department, the phones will be running the latest Android 13 operating system out-of-the-box with the company’s own One UI 5 on top.
DJI, a China-based drone manufacturer, has announced that the company will be hosting a new launch event on 15th June. While the upcoming product has not been revealed yet, the company says that it will help set a new standard.
It’s noteworthy that the teaser for the launch event comes from DJI’s “Pro” solutions arm which typically works on the development of innovative products for the filmmakers.
Although the upcoming product from the company remains unknown, leaks have hinted that the company could announce the third-generation DJI Ronin-S camera stabilizer as well as the RS 3 gimbal.
If the reports are to be believed, then the upcoming camera product from the company will be integrated with a LiDAR range sensor to automatically and instantly maintain perfect focus in even the most dynamic of situations.
There’s also a hint of antennas in the teaser poster and leaks indicate something related to the video transmitter along with the DJI RS 3 and RS 3 Pro gimbals. To know for sure what’s up the company’s sleeves, we will have to wait for the official launch event.

Xiaomi has a slew of flagship phones waiting to go official in China. The Xiaomi 12 Ultra, which is believed to be the company’s first Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset powered phone, has been certified by China’s 3C authority. As usual, the certification has revealed the fast-charging capabilities of the smartphone.
The Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra from last year houses a 5,000mAh battery. It supports 67W fast charging, 67W wireless charging, and 10W reverse wireless charging. There are a lot of rumors that the Xiaomi phone with the model number 2203121C (via) that was found in 3C’s database is the upcoming Xiaomi 12 Ultra.
The 3C certification of the device reveals that it could be accompanied by an MDY-12-EF charger, which supports up to 67W rapid charging. Hence, it appears that the Xiaomi 12 Ultra may not offer any improvements when it comes to wired charging as compared to the predecessor model. It remains to be seen whether the 12 Ultra offers faster wireless charging.
Rumors have it that the Xiaomi 12 Ultra will feature a 6.6-inch QHD+ 120Hz display and a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset. Its rear-facing camera unit may comprise a 50-megapixel main camera with OIS support, a 50-megapixel ultrawide camera, a 48-megapixel periscope zoom snapper, and a 16-megapixel portrait lens.
In recent days, other Xiaomi flagship phones have also been spotted at the 3C certification site. It has been found that the Xiaomi 12S (2206123SC), Xiaomi 12S Pro Dimensity 9000 edition (2207122MC), and Xiaomi MIX Fold 2 (22061218C) may also arrive with support for 67W fast charging. However, the Xiaomi 12S Pro (2206122SC) variant, which will feature the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC, may support 120W fast charging.
A few days ago, a new and very hot phone debuted in the Indian market: the Tecno Pova 3. A device from a non-widespread brand if we consider the whole global market, but with great specifications when it comes to the budget segment. With the release of this new low cost handset, a lot of people are wondering whether or not it is a good upgrade compared to its predecessor Tecno Pova 2. To be honest, there are no huge differences between these two devices which make it worth upgrading from one to another. But if you are evaluating both of these devices for a new purchase, then you have to know the difference between them in order to choose the best for your needs and pay the most appropriate price. Here is a comparison between the specifications of the Tecno Pova 3 and its predecessor Tecno Pova 2.

Design
One of the most important upgrades of the Tecno Pova 3 if compared to its predecessor is definitely the design. The handset which officially debuted at the end of last month comes with a cleaner design: there is no camera module and the sensors are placed directly on the back cover. The new phone seems to have narrower bezels around the display and it is thinner than its predecessor, even though it has the same battery capacity. The Electric Blue color option of the Tecno Pova 3 comes with a special RGB notification light stripe on the back, a very interesting feature that is not easy to find on non-gaming phones. So, as you already understood, the newly-announced budget phone wins the design comparison.
Display
The Tecno Pova 3 and its predecessor have the same screen diagonal: 6.9 inches. We are talking about huge displays among the biggest out there, almost like the smallest tablets. It is hard to find 6.9-inch phones in the actual market and this is another reason why a lot of people appreciate these devices, even though they are harder to use with one hand and to keep in a pocket. Both are IPS LCD displays with a Full HD+ resolution, but there is an important difference between these two panels: the refresh rate. The Tecno Pova 3 has a higher 90 Hz refresh rate, so it provides a smoother viewing experience, while the Pova 2 stops at 60 Hz. The fingerprint readers are side-mounted and both the phones feature stereo speakers for a rich audio experience, as well as a 3.5 mm audio jack.
Specs & Software
The Tecno Pova 3 is powered by the MediaTek Helio G88 mobile platform: it is a chipset built at 12 nm and running at a max frequency of 2 GHz, without the 5G connectivity. On this phone, it is paired with up to 6 GB of RAM and up to 128 GB of internal storage that you can furtherly expand by using a micro SD slot. The Tecno Pova 2 has the same hardware department but with a lower-end chipset: we are talking about the Mediatek Helio G85 built at 12 nm and running at a max frequency of 2 GHz. The Helio G88 is an upgrade of the Helio G85 with the same GPU but better CPU performance. Even though there is almost a year of difference between the launch dates of these two devices, they both run Android 11, customized by HiOS.
Camera
The Tecno Pova 3 brings a better camera department to the shelves thanks to a superior main camera. While its predecessor Tecno Pova 2 offered a 48 MP main sensor, the new device is equipped with a 50 MP main camera providing higher detail and better overall photo quality. The older model has one more camera on the rear side, but it is a useless 2 MP snapper, that is why it is better to have a superior main camera. In both cases, we are talking about low-end camera phones, but it is worth mentioning the difference between the camera setups. Both the handsets are able to record 1440p videos and feature 8 MP front cameras.
The battery is maybe the strongest point of these devices for a lot of people. They come with a huge battery capacity of 7000 mAh and, in 2022, the amount of phones with a so big battery is very low. Thanks to this battery, they are able to last several days on a single charge. Given that the components are similar and the processors are built with the same production process, the battery life between these two phones should not change too much. But you should note that the Tecno Pova 3 has faster charging speeds thanks to 25W fast charging (instead of just 18W).
Price
You need at least $180 to purchase the Tecno Pova 3 and at least Rs. 11,999 or $154 to buy the Pova 2 (we are talking about listing prices and not street prices). Which one would you pick?
