According to a MySmartPrice report, a smartphone model from the Chinese tech giant had surfaced on popular benchmarking platform, GeekBench. This handset carried the model number GLA-AL00. In other words, this device is likely a part of the Nova 10 series and is the higher end Pro variant. Furthermore, the benchmark listing also revealed the Nova 10 Pro‘s SoC, OS version, and even RAM.

Looking at the GeekBench results, the smartphone scored 784 points in single core tests and 2813 points in the multi core test. Its processor is an octa core chip with four cores clocked at 2.4GHz and four cores that are clocked at 1.8GHz. So, it is undoubtedly the Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G SoC, which will be paired with the Adreno 642L GPU. The benchmark also lists the device running on Android 11 OS.

The pass will provide people with a special discount on a Nothing phone (1) accessory (Probably the case) along with some exclusive pre-order offers. After purchasing the pass, customers would be able to pre-order the phone through Flipkart.

Customers purchasing the Pre-order pass will be emailed an invite code that will be used during final purchase. Do note that the pass guarantees you’ll be able to pre-order the smartphone, but it’s not the actual order itself.

As per the screenshots, people with pre-order pass will be able to buy the Nothing Phone 1 via Flipkart at 9pm on July 12. The Rs. 2,000 security deposit for the pass will be adjusted to the final price.

Huawei Nova 10 series launch date confirmed, here’s what to expect

Yesterday, popular tipster OnLeaks released the first renders of the Nova 10 Pro. Today, Huawei has officially confirmed that the smartphone will be announced on July 4. At the same time, multiple sources have released some more images of the Nova 10 Pro.

As can be seen, the Huawei Nova 10 Pro features a 6.7-inch OLED display with curved edges on the front. It will probably have support for a 120Hz refresh rate. Like last year’s Nova 9 Pro, the Nova 10 Pro features a pill-shaped cutout for dual front-facing cameras in the upper-left corner. The machine-translated text by Digital Chat Station’s Weibo post reveals that the Nova 10 Pro is equipped with a “60-megapixel front-facing dual-focus camera.” In addition, the screen seems to be integrated with a fingerprint scanner.

The rear side of the Nova 10 Pro features a vertical triple camera unit. The silver-colored variant of the device has golden accents. It is equipped with a 50-megapixel RYYB main camera sensor. The configurations of the other two rear cameras are not known.

A Snapdragon chipset without 5G support will power the Nova 10 Pro. The device is expected to carry support for 100W charging. The other details of the smartphone are yet to be confirmed. Apart from the silver variant teased by the company, the Nova 10 Pro is expected to arrive in a dark blue variant. Here are some of the real-life images of the Nova 10 Pro shared by WHYLAB on Weibo.

Earlier this month, two Huawei devices with model numbers NCO-AL00 and GLA-AL00 were approved by the 3C authority of China. The 3C listings reveal that these devices may ship with a 66W and a 100W charger, respectively. Speculations are rife that the NCO-AL00 model could be the vanilla Nova 10 and the GLA-AL00 variant could be its Pro version. Even though the company has only said that the Pro model exists, it is likely that the vanilla model will also be made official on July 4.

Huawei FreeBuds Pro 2 TWS earbuds officially launched; now available for pre-order in Europe

Huawei teased its next-generation FreeBuds Pro 2 TWS earbuds for a few days and the company has now officially launched the wireless audio wearable product at a launch event for Central and Eastern European.

The Huawei FreeBuds Pro 2 TWS earbuds have been made in collaboration with France-based sound technology company Devialet. Compared to the processor, the new earphones come with improved performance and longer battery life.

The newly announced Huawei FreeBuds Pro 2 come with dual drivers and three microphones for 47dB noise suppression. This is a new benchmark for the company in terms of noise cancellation as in the previous generation model, it was at 40dB.

It supports the biggest frequency range for Huawei earbuds, going from 14Hz to 48kHz.  The company has also added an adaptive equalizer that learns the user behavior and tweaks the audio for better sound output.

The noise cancellation feature supports three different modes — General Mode, Cozy Mode, and Ultra Mode. There’s also an Awareness Mode when the user wants to be aware of the surroundings during outdoor activities. Unlike its predecessor, this time the earbuds are IP54 compliant for water and dust resistance.

Huawei has not revealed the battery capacity of the FreeBuds Pro 2 but has promised up to 30 hours of battery life with the charging case. It offers four hours of playback on a single charger with ANC enabled and 6.5 hours without Active Noise Cancellation.

The Huawei FreeBuds Pro 2 comes in three color options — Silver Blue, Silver Frost (Black), and Ceramic White and is priced at about €200. Those who pre-order the earbuds will get Huawei Band 7 for free. It is now up for pre-order and will start shipping from 11th July.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 smartphone to reportedly come in variety of color options

Samsung is gearing up to launch the Galaxy Z Flip 4 smartphone along with the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and it appears that the design of the clamshell foldable smartphone remains the same as its predecessor.

While the design might be similar to its predecessor, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 will be offered in interesting color options. The latest report coming from Ross Young has revealed the color options which will be available for the smartphone.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 Color Options Leak

As per the report, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 will be available in nine color options, which include Gold, Gray, Light Blue, and Purple. There are also five combination colors — Black/Green/Green, Gold/Yellow/White, Gold/Yellow/Yellow, Silver/Navy/Navy, and Silver/White/White.

It is said that the gray-colored model will be produced in large numbers for the first few months, followed by purple and gold. In that case, it’s safe to assume that the South Korean giant is of the opinion that there won’t be many takers for the new hues.

The phone is expected to have a 2.1-inch cover screen and a 16.7-inch main foldable display with a less noticeable crease. Under the hood, it will come powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 processor, coupled with up to 12GB of RAM and up to 512GB of internal storage.

In the camera department, there will be a 12MP dual-camera setup on the back. It is expected to run the Android-based One UI and be powered by a 3,700mAh battery that supports 25W wired charging and 10W wireless charging.

Samsung is expected to host its next Unpacked launch event in the month of August to unveil the next-generation foldable smartphones as well as the company’s upcoming Galaxy Watch 5 series models.

POCO F4 vs POCO X4 GT: Specs Comparison

After the amazing POCO F4 GT with Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 inside, Xiaomi’s sub-brand launched a brand new duo of phones in the European market: the POCO F4 and the POCO X4 GT. They are two lower-end devices, but they can still be considered good flagship killers for gamers and power users thanks to high-end hardware departments. A lot of expert people will choose them because of their performance and they could become best-sellers due to their affordable prices. But which one is the best and which is the most suitable one for your actual needs? In order to answer this question, we decided to publish a comparison between the specifications of the POCO F4 and the POCO X4 GT.

BATTERY 4500 mAh, fast charging 67W 5080 mAh, Fast Charging 67W
ADDITIONAL FEATURES 5G, dual SIM, IP53 certification 5G, dual SIM

Design

Do you prefer having a more ergonomic device? If so, then you should go for the POCO F4 because it has a thinner and lighter design: it weighs 195 grams and is 7.7 mm thick. Further, it offers an important pro: it has the IP53 certification making it dust resistant and splash resistant. You might like the POCO X4 GT because it comes with a cleaner design, thanks to the camera module sporting the same color as the rest of the rear side. But it is thicker and heavier than its internal rival, so less ergonomic. Unfortunately, both these phones are made of polycarbonate and they are not built with premium materials. However, their displays are protected by Gorilla Glass 5, so they should be very resistant to scratches, even though we recommend leaving a screen protector applied to the front glass.

 

 

Display

The best display in this comparison belongs to the POCO F4. It is equipped with an amazing AMOLED panel sporting a diagonal of 6.67 inches, a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels, a 120 Hz refresh rate, the HDR10+ certification, and Dolby Vision. It provides a great image quality with vibrant colors and deep blacks, and it is amazing even on streaming platforms. It even provides very high brightness with up to 1300 nits and the Gorilla Glass 5 protection. Even though it is an AMOLED panel, the fingerprint reader of the POCO F4 is not in-display but side-mounted, and there are stereo speakers for an improved audio experience. The display of the POCO X4 GT is great for gamers thanks to its 144 Hz refresh rate, but, unfortunately, it is an IPS LCD panel. The image quality is great thanks to the HDR10 certification and Dolby Vision, but it can not compete with AMOLED panels sporting the same specifications. Naturally, even in this case, the fingerprint scanner is side-mounted.

 

Specs & Software

The most advanced hardware setup belongs to the POCO X4 GT: it is fueled by the Mediatek Dimensity 8100 mobile platform paired with 8 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage. The Dimensity 8100 chipset built at 5 nm with a max frequency of 2.85 GHz (alongside its Max variant with improved AI performance) is the best Mediatek chipset after the Dimensity 9000 and the Dimensity 9000+, so it provides flagship-class performance. The POCO F4 is inferior because it is powered by the older Snapdragon 870 chipset built at 7 nm and running at a max frequency of 3.2 GHz. In this case, the SoC is paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage. Both handsets run Android 12 out of the box, customized by MIUI 13 in a special version for POCO devices.

 

Camera

There are no differences between the camera departments of these two phones, with the exception of a single element. On the rear side, you can find a 64 MP main camera, an 8 MP ultrawide lens, and a 2 MP macro camera, while frontally, there is a 20 MP selfie shooter. The difference between these two models is the presence of OIS on the POCO F4, which improves the photo quality thanks to better stabilization.

 

Battery

If you are looking for a phone with the longest battery life, then the POCO X4 GT is the best choice you can do. It is equipped with a 5080 mAh battery and thanks to this battery, even though it has an IPS display, it lasts more on a single charge. Also, note that its processor is more efficient because it is built at 5 nm. The 4500 mAh battery of the POCO F4 is still sufficient, but nothing special if compared to the X4 GT. Both the phones support 67W fast charging, but the F4 charges quicklier because it has a smaller battery.

 

Price

The starting price of the POCO F4 in the European market is €399/$419, while you need €299/$315 to purchase the X4 GT. The former looks more interesting due to its better display, but the latter comes with a bigger battery and a better processor.

  • AMOLED display
  • IP53 certification
  • Thinner and lighter

There are no indications yet as to the release date of the Huawei Enjoy 50 Pro. Huawei has continued to climb out of the debilitating US sanction regime it suffered.

Samsung fined $14m in Australia for misleading Galaxy smartphone water-resistance ads

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) has fined Samsung $14 million for misleading claims about its Galaxy smartphones. The fine relates to a 2019 investigation of Samsung after it released several ads for various Galaxy smartphones.Samsung fined

The main thrust of the ads was that the phones were water-resistant when in water for up to 30 minutes. Samsung also depicted in the adverts the Galaxy phones being dipped in swimming pools or getting splashes on the beach.

The ads were aired on national TV in Australia and the consumer watchdog took Samsung to task for some of these ads. Samsung inherently gave a false notion of the water-resistance capability of the models. These smartphones were only water-resistant in fresh water, not seawater or chlorinated water. The charging port was prone to corrosion under such circumstances.

Samsung has now agreed to pay the fine of $14 million to ACCC for the misleading claims. It has also made software and hardware changes to its phones to provide a more realistic claim of water resistance. This information was relayed by ACCC’s chair, Gina Cass-Gottlieb. The ACCC chairperson says that the penalty is a strong reminder to all businesses that all product claims must be substantiated. The watchdog says it will continue to take enforcement actions against erring businesses in this regard.

It is no secret that Samsung is working on its next generation of smartwatches dubbed the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 series. The device has already made an appearance on the FCC certification website, however, there is no word on its release date yet.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 4

Now, ahead of its launch, reliable tipster Roland Quandt has leaked the pricing of the upcoming smartwatch revealing that it will come with a heftier price tag than the current generation Galaxy Watch 4 series. The tipster informs that the upcoming Galaxy Watch 5 40mm version will have a €300 and €350 Euro price tag for the Bluetooth and LTE versions respectively. These watches will come in Pink Gold, Gray, and Silver color options.

The 44mm Galaxy Watch 5 will cost €350 for the Bluetooth version and the LTE version will cost €400. They will be available in Blue, Gray, and Silver color options. Last but not the least, the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro’s Bluetooth-only model will have an MSRP of €490 and the LTE version will cost €540. The Pro models will be available in Black and Titanium color options.

The tipster states that these prices are subject to change depending on price conversion and the taxes levied in different regions.

While the prices of the models are yet to be disclosed, the specifications of the phones and some marketing images have been released. The specs show the models will be marketed as rugged smartphones with both having textured back panels and a rugged design that protects them against drops and knocks.

The DOOGEE S61 series also comes with a translucent design which is just an effect and not actually a transparent back panel. The models come with IP68, IP69K, and MIL-STD-810H certifications.

The two models both pack a 6-inch display with an HD+ resolution of 1,440 x 720-pixel and 500 nits of peak brightness. The models are powered by a MediaTek Helio G35 processor paired with 6GB of LPDDR4X RAM. Where the two models differ is that the S61 Pro features a superior camera setup. While the S61 packs 64GB storage, the S61 Pro has 128GB storage onboard.

On the camera setup, the DOOGEE S61 packs a 20MP primary camera and an 8 MP front-facing camera. The S61 Pro features a 48MP main camera while at the front there is a 16MP selfie sensor. DOOGEE S61

Under the hood, there is a 5,180mAh battery on board the S61 series and they run on the latest Android 12 OS. We expect to see more details of the devices when they go official next month.

Amazon announces the Proteus, a fully autonomous warehouse robot

Amazon is blazing its stellar trail in robotics by releasing a fully autonomous warehouse robot. The company has been at the forefront of the development of robotics in the workplace for a decade since the formation of Amazon Robotics. The robotics arm of the company has delivered excellent automation robots within its decade-long existence.Amazon Proteus

Amazon Robotics has announced two new robots – Proteus and Cardinal which offer new insights into robotics technology. Proteus is an autonomous floor system while Cardinal is a robotic arm. Both robots are being integrated into Amazon’s shelf and cell system which has evolved in ten years. Proteus can move autonomously within the facility using advanced safety, perception, and navigation technology. Amazon says it was built to be automatically directed to do its work. It needs not to be confined to restricted areas and has broad applications. Amazon says Proteus can help employees in a variety of ways such as the lifting and movement of GoCarts around its facilities.

Amazon has made several key acquisitions since it acquired Kiva Systems a decade ago. Amazon Robotics has deployed more than 520k robotic drive units across its facilities thus far. The company continues to improve on delivery times for products due to its highly automated systems. The entry of Proteus and Cardinal will further accelerate Amazon’s drive toward lightning-fast deliveries. The development of the new systems could not be unconnected with Amazon’s acquisition of Canvas in 2019. The hardware is designed to interact directly with workers on the floor, in line with Canvas’s previous autonomous solutions.Amazon Proteus

It is also impressive that the new system can fit snugly with Amazon’s existing Kiva systems with minimal retrofitting. Amazon says that Proteus will be initially deployed in the outbound GoCart handling areas.

Ultimately, Amazon hopes to automate GoCart handling across the network for greater efficiency. The development of these autonomous robotic systems by Amazon gives it a cutting-edge advantage in the market. Its huge investment in robotics has transformed the company tremendously.

The Zapp i300 comes as agile as it can get. It is a lightweight e-scooter with upside-down forks and a solid adjustable rear shock. The dual-channel ABS braking offers excellent control for the scooter. The electric motor of the i300 and the battery compartment are centrally located and placed for enhanced balance. The electric motor can deliver 9.6 Horsepower of power and peaks at 20hp. This in turn delivers up to 587 Nm of torque at the rear wheels accounting for its decent speed rating.Zapp i300 electric scooter

While the range of the Zapp i300 seems a bit limiting at just 37 miles (60km), Zapp says that the battery can be easily removed and charged within minutes. It says the charge can go from 20% to 80% within half an hour. The Zapp i300 has minimal storage space and its back wheel could transfer mud and water to the rider’s back.Zapp i300 electric scooter

Zapp was not specific on the release date of the i300 electric scooter. The company will soon announce some events where buyers can have a look at the i300. Delivery for orders of the Zapp i300 will take 12-16 weeks and the price starts at $7,000. Zapp will hope to project the speed credentials of the i300 as its best feature.
