Samsung is hyping the credentials of its 200MP HP1 sensor with a video showing some of the sensor’s capabilities. The video shows that the new sensor can preserve a great deal of detail. We are still awaiting the first smartphone to debut the Samsung 200MP sensor.
Samsung announced the ISOCELL HP1 sensor back in September 2021. It however seems a Motorola smartphone will be the first to have the monster sensor. The video details how the HP1 sensor was attached to a Frankenstein rig having a test board, an external display, and another lens. The setup was then used to capture photos of a cat. The photo output was then printed on an industrial printer.
The optimized still image of the cat was done on a 28 x 22 meters canvas with several 2.3m pieces attached together and hung on a building. The HP1 sensor is capable of zooming or cropping images while their details remain intact. The new ChamelonCell pixel binning technology is another great feature of the HP1 sensor. It allows the grouping of up to 16 pixels to achieve different resolutions from 12.5MP to 200MP.
Last year, Microsoft announced Windows Subsystem for Android which will allow Android apps to run on Windows 11. The service has been made available to Windows users in the United States, and now, Microsoft has announced that the service will extend to more regions before the end of 2022.
These regions will include France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and the United Kingdom (Via XDA Developers). For those unaware, this feature was announced in June 2021 and made its way to the live version of Windows earlier this year. Microsoft has partnered with Amazon for this service and provides the Android apps via the Amazon Appstore on Windows 11.
If you live outside of these above-mentioned regions and can’t wait for the update to make its way to your country, you can easily access the feature from the Microsoft store after changing your region settings in Windows. The more challenging part is getting access to the apps themselves as Amazon Appstore currently works only with US-based Amazon accounts. There is still a way to sideload the Android apps on Windows 11, however, it would require a bit of tinkering and technical know-how.
The recently unveiled Redmi Note 11T Pro and Redmi Note 11T Pro+ smartphones could be renamed and launched in India. The Redmi Note 11T Pro and 11T Pro+ were launched this week in China and rumors of an Indian launch are on the air. It had been earlier speculated that the two phones will surface in other markets as POCO X4 GT.
A tipster is however saying that the Redmi Note 11T Pro and Note 11T Pro+ will bear a different name from POCO in India. Kacper Skrzypek that the devices will be rebranded as the Redmi K50i and Redmi K50i Pro models in India. If the rumor turns out to be true, it will follow previous branding choices by Xiaomi in India. The Mi 10T Lite for the global market was branded as the Mi 10i in India last year.
The Redmi K50i Pro will come with a 108MP rear camera while the Redmi K50i sports a 50MP main camera. The K50i and K50i Pro will come with a 6.6-inch FHD+ LCD screen, a 7-step variable refresh rate of 144Hz, and a 16MP front camera. The screens support DC dimming and Dolby Vision.

The tipster does not mention the specific launch timeline but does confirm that the Indian variant will also feature the Snapdragon 695 5G chipset, just like the Chinese counterpart. However, one difference could be the connectivity offerings as the Chinese model offers WiFi-only connectivity.
Realme Pad X Specs
The new tablet from realme comes with an 11-inch display with a 2K resolution. It’s an LCD panel with 450 nits peak brightness, DC dimming, and 16.7 million colors.
Under the hood, the tablet comes with the Snapdragon 695 SoC and pairs it up with up to 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. It comes in a WiFi-only variant and boots Realme UI 3.0 for Pad based on Android 12.

Back in March, the first CAD renders of the upcoming iPhone 14 Pro emerged online. Colored renders of the device surfaced later that month showcasing the smartphone in a fancy Gold color. Now, designer Ian Zelbo has provided new High resolution renders of the iPhone 14 Pro in multiple colors like purple, silver, graphite, and gold (via).

Apart from Gold, the most eye-catching render is the gorgeous purple color which is said to be the special color coming for the iPhone 14 Pro this time around. There might be more “special color” options planned for the device, however, the purple color will likely not be made available for the vanilla iPhone 14 model. Other than the color options, the renders also visualize the rumored slim bezels that are said to give the device some additional display real estate.
So far, leaks surrounding the Apple iPhone 14 Pro suggest that the smartphone will come with a 48-megapixel sensor wide-angle primary camera, which is considerably bigger than the current 12-megapixel wide-angle camera featured in the iPhone 13 series.
Other than that, the device will get rid of the notch for a pill-shaped and punch-hole cutout combo, and will also come with the next generation A16 Bionic chipset. A recent report also stated that the new ProMotion display on the iPhone 14 Pro will give it access to the Always On Display feature that’s been missing from the iPhones till now. This will be made possible as the new display panel will feature an adaptive refresh rate technology capable of dropping down to 1Hz saving precious battery life.
Sony has stated that it plans on raising the production of its PlayStation 5 gaming console. The announcement arrives as the issues with the supply chain subsides. The good news doesn’t just stop there, as the company also revealed that it plans to expand its PS5 games portfolio as well.
Despite the PS5 console launching back in November 2020, the Japanese tech giant has been struggling with its production due to the ongoing global chip shortage and other supply constraint issues. Although, the company plans on closing the gap year three and even plans to overtake the PS4 install base by the next year. Furthermore, Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Jim Ryan stated that “we’re planning for heavy further increases in console production, taking us to production levels that we’ve never achieved before.”
This news arrives despite the COVID-19 lockdowns in China, but the executive stated that “things are definitely improving.” The brand has also projected that the sales of PS5 hit 18 million units in the financial year end in March compared to 11.5 million units from a year earlier. Notably, Sony is also moving away from its sole focus on single player titles that are exclusive on its platform.
Now, it would work on more PC and mobile titles and will even offer live service games that will make up almost half of all new titles in 2025. The official further added that “There will be many, many individual players who prefer to enjoy games in the way that they have played them from the past 30 years or more.”
After multiple sanctions from the US barring Chinese tech giants like Huawei from accessing advanced semi-conductors from manufacturers like TSMC, China has started heavily investing in domestic solutions for its semi-conductor needs.
Now, in a recent development, Taiwan authorities have raided ten Chinese companies suspected of illegally poaching chip engineers and other tech talents (via Reuters). Taiwan, which is the home to the world’s largest manufacturer of advanced semi-conductor, TSMC, has recently been proactive in countering illegal poaching efforts by Chinese companies that might threaten Tawain’s global semiconductor dominance.
The Investigation Bureau said it raided ten Chinese companies or their R&D centers which operate in Taiwan without approval earlier this week. It said nearly 70 people have been summoned for questioning in a joint crackdown across several cities including the capital Taipei and the island’s semiconductor hub, Hsinchu.
The bureau has issued a statement saying “The illegal poaching of Taiwan’s high-tech talent by Chinese companies has badly impacted our international competitiveness and endangered our national security,” the bureau added that technology is vital to Taiwan’s security and has urged people to “stay high on alert” for such Chinese activities.
The companies currently under investigation have not been named, but the bureau has informed that it includes integrated circuit design firms and electronics parts makers.
Samsung‘s upcoming Galaxy XCover Pro 2 is said to be the brand’s first 5G rugged smartphone. The device has already been subject to multiple leaks and its renders have also emerged online. Now, a new report suggests that Samsung might adjust the naming scheme of the rugged smartphone.
Samsung Galaxy XCover Pro 2 renders
According to a recent Google Play Console listing, the smartphone will have a different marketing name. Instead of the Galaxy XCover Pro 2, it will be called the Galaxy XCover6 Pro.
Other than that, the Google console listing has also confirmed many of the specifications of the upcoming rugged device.
Based on the listing, the smartphone has the model number SM-G736U and will come with Qualcomm’s SM7325 chipset, with four cores clocked at 2.4GHz and four cores with a clock speed of 1.8GHz. This is the Snapdragon 778G SoC.
The smartphone will feature a Full HD+ display with 1080 x 2408 pixel resolution and a pixel density of 450 dots per inch. It will also have a dew-drop notch and thick bezels going around the display. Going by the previous leaks, the screen size of the device will be 6.5-inches and it will be an AMOLED panel. It will measure 169.5mm x 81.1mm x 10.1mm and will feature an Android 12-based operating system along with a 3.5mm audio jack.
The launch window of the device along with its price point is still under wraps, however, the Google Console appearance hits that it may launch in the coming months.
Samsung is planning on launching another entry level 5G smartphone in the European market soon. But this time, the company will be launching a 5G variant of an existing 4G model, which is the Galaxy A23.
Samsung Galaxy A23
As of right now, finer details regarding its launch is still unknown, but it is expected to launch sometime in the middle of this year. Since we are nearing the half yearly point, the South Korean tech giant’s announcement for the Galaxy A23 5G model could be just around the corner. The launch of this handset will expand the brand’s affordable 5G Galaxy phone portfolio in the European region.
Currently, the company already sells its Galaxy A23 4G smartphone, which features a Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 SoC. So, we can safely assume that the 5G variant of this model will feature certain changes in hardware, especially in terms of its processor under the hood. The news arrives from sources close to the matter (Via GalaxyClub), although, a concrete launch date for this upcoming budget 5G smartphone is still at large at the moment.
Apart from a 5G enabled processor, we can expect the Galaxy A23 5G to be mostly similar to the 4G version of Galaxy A23. In other words, it would likely sport a 6.6 inch PLS LCD panel that has a 90Hz refresh rate and a Full HD+ resolution. The rear may feature a 50 megapixel primary camera while the front houses an 8 megapixel selfie shooter. A large 5,000mAh battery pack would power the device, which supports 25W fast charging.
Naruto is one of my favorite Japanese mangas, which I believe has touched countless fans like me in the past 2 decades. Although the television series ended in 2017, we still are able to see its energy spreading throughout the world with plenty of Naruto-related merchandise. And today I’m very excited to introduce you guys to the first Naruto special edition smartphone brought by Realme, the Realme GT Neo 3 Naruto. Actually, it’s not the first anime-themed smartphone launched by the brand. The first one was the Realme GT Neo 2 Dragonball Z Edition (Unboxing), and if you’re interested, you can click the card at the corner and watch our unboxing video. But trust me, the second collaboration with Naruto is more attractive for fans.
Well, follow our boxing and take a look at the latest Naruto edition.
The first sight of the packaging is enough for us to get excited and start expecting more. It’s actually a summoning scroll! In the series, it’s one of the most important pieces of equipment in a ninja’s arsenal. Distinguished by the color, it seems to be the summoning scroll that Naruto carried when he appeared in the battle against Pain. And that scene is also one of my favorite moments in the series. So of course, this scroll carries a lot of fans’ memories from the series, and it’s also very collectible.
The scroll is made of leather-like material and feels very delicate to touch. It’s surprisingly unfoldable, but there weren’t any ninja techniques stored inside, nor a summoning contract between Naruto and Bunta.
Once you open the cover from one side of the scroll, you will see a semi-cylindrical drawer, which is in a dark green color widely seen on the Ninja flak jacket. Pull it out, and you will see the cover with the emblem of the Uzumaki Clan, which is also the Naruto’s clan symbol on the back of his jacket. At the bottom, there’s the cooperation logo of Realme and Naruto Shippuden.
And we found another small thoughtful accessory inside, which is the sim-card pin. It’s made into the symbol of the leaf village. Remove the cover panel, the phone will appear in front of you. When you turn it over, the design on the back clearly tells us that this is a complete Naruto-custom edition. It simulates the style of Naruto’s jacket from the Shippuden series, divided into the upper matte black and lower bright orange parts. At the center, there’s again the symbol of the Uzumaki clan. Compared to the standard version of the Realme GT Neo 3, the Naruto edition adds a metal-like panel under the camera module. I believe that fans must be very familiar with it, which is the Leaf Village ninjas’ forehead protector. It made me think that if I put a scratch in the middle, it would become a custom version of Akatsuki. Okay, just kidding.
And if you look closer, you will find another iconic detail of Naruto, which is the whisker-like scars on Naruto’s cheeks. Well, they were not actual scars, but marks influenced by the Bijuu’s presence.
Now let’s put the phone aside, as we’ll show you the details of its customization in the software later. At the bottom of the drawer, there’s still a charging cable, a protective case, and a 160W fast charger. But only the charger brick got customized into the same Naruto style of the phone. Actually, there are several customized phone cases released with the Naruto phone, but now it seems that they’re not included and need to be purchased separately.
Now let’s check out what we got in the software. I’m glad to see that the limited edition supports multiple languages when setting up the phone for the first time. Although we have no idea whether the limited edition is going to be officially released in the global market, thankfully you still can get more language options no matter where you buy it from. Google apps are not pre-installed on the phone, but you can still install most Google apps by yourself.
The limited phone starts with a Naruto UI theme with plenty of customized app icons. And there are three customized wallpapers as options. Another unique detail that differentiates from the standard version is the charging effect. When activating 150W fast charging with the included charger, the circular diagram of the five basic natures will show up and tell you how much power is collected back.
Apart from the details that we showed you above, there are no other customizations that we could find. Actually, we still hope to see more surprises on this limited edition. So hopefully the brand can keep working on the software for fans.
The customized edition no doubt is the brand’s most impressive special edition model with a strong Naruto imprint. No matter, from the scroll packaging or for the phone itself, we can feel that they are pretty serious about the co-branded model.
And don’t forget, the whole story did start with stealing a forbidden scroll.
Then from the scroll to the family badge, to the leaf village symbol, and to the cheeks’ mark, the phone seems to try and narrate the story of Naruto, one of the most likable characters in anime history. And as we end this video, we would like to quote Naruto’s most famous dialogue!
“My future dream is to be the greatest Hokage!”
So that’s all we want to share about the Naruto edition of the Realme GT Neo 3, and if you want to learn more about the phone, please check out the previous review of the GT Neo 3 Standard version.

The Naruto Scroll bag can even be opened, however, we are unsure whether it can be used as a small duffle bag for carrying things or it’s just for show.
In addition, the smartphone’s accessories including the power adaptor, Charging cable and sim ejector tool also come with a Naruto inspired design. The smartphone will likely have Naruto inspired theme, which means the app icons and wallpaper will give you all Naruto vibes.

Samsung, the world’s smartphone manufacturer and a dominating player in the Indian smartphone market, is planning to gradually exit the high volume but low-value feature phone business in India.
A new report from Economic Times, citing people aware of the development, claims that the last batch of Samsung feature phones for the Indian market is set to be manufactured by its partner Dixon by the end of this year.
Samsung is among the two major MNCs contributing to the Indian government’s Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme. The report adds that the company is mandated to get sops only on the production of handsets worth over ₹15,000 factor price.
The South Korean giant will exit the low-value feature phone business in India to instead focus on the mid-range, upper or premium mid-range, and premium smartphones. Basically, it is aiming at devices costing ₹15,000 (~$193) or more.
Feature phone shipments in the Indian market declined by 39 percent year-on-year in the first quarter of this year. This resulted from multiple factors, including supply chain issues and low demand due to high retail inflation.
Samsung was the leading brand in the feature phone segment in the Indian market but has now fallen to the third spot with a 12 percent market share. Itel is now leading the market with a 21 percent market share, and Lava grabs the second position with 20 percent share.
