Over the last couple of weeks, we have reported on the days Sony restocks its highly popular PlayStation 5 gaming console. Now, the latest information has revealed that the next restocking will begin tomorrow, 13th May 2022.

Sony PlayStation 5

For those unaware, the Japanese tech giant has been struggling to keep a sufficient inventory for its latest generation of console. There have been various reasons for this stocking issue, ranging from supply constraints, chip shortage, and more. But now, the company has managed to bring its latest batch to the Indian market through various major retailers. This includes the likes of Amazon, ShopatSC, Flipkart, GamesTheShop, Vijay Sales, Croma, among others.

Notably, similar to the previous restocking, the ShopatSC is offering the Gran Turismo 7 with the standard PlayStation 5. This bundle will be priced at 54,990 INR (roughly 710 US Dollars). Although, this deal isn’t being offered with the PS5 Digital Edtiion, which is priced at 39,990 INR (roughly 516 US Dollars). On the other hand, the standard edition costs 49,990 INR (roughly 645 US Dollars).

Keep in mind that the Sony PlayStation 5 is in high demand right now. In other words, the restocked inventory likely won’t last for too long once the listings go live in the various retailers websites and stores.

China Tablet PC market grows despite fall at the start of this year: IDC

By
Sean
-

A new report has revealed details regarding the tablet PC market in China. While the market saw a decline at the start, the region managed to see a rise in this segment in the second half of this year.

China

According to an IDC report, the Coronavirus pandemic was actually a “double edged sword” that both boosted the consumer market but also made the commercial market worse.  In the first quarter of this year, the tablet segment shipped around 6.21 million units, which marked a 17 percent year on year rise. The report adds that a large number of consumers have purchased tablet computers in the last two years. On the other hand, the commercial market shipped only 540,000 units, marking a 42 percent decrease year on year during this same period.

Apparently, the pandemic was the primary reason for this sharp fall since the outbreak lead to lockdowns in certain regions across the nation. This, in turn, led to projects being cancelled and shipments further declining. So, the commercial market is expected to not see the robust performance it saw back in 2020 in the second half of this year. During the first quarter of 2022, the tablet PC shipments overall declined by 2.1 percent year on year. However, the market stabilized and the shipments reached 6.76 million units. This marked a rise of 8.1 percent year on year.

China

Guo Tianxiang, senior analyst at IDC China said that “There is no doubt that the rebound of the epidemic and the stricter lockdown policies in various places have significantly boosted Chinese consumers’ demand for tablet computers. Shanghai and surrounding areas, which are under lockdown, have also not been affected. It is not the main area for tablet computer material production and complete machine assembly, so it can be said that it has little impact on the supply of products, and it also ensures that the supply side can fully meet the sudden market demand of consumers.”

While foldable phones have been around for sometime now, a number of brands have yet to launch their own iterations of this breed of smartphones. But now, a new report has revealed that OnePlus will soon be launching its first foldable smartphone as well.

The news arrives from tipster Max Jambor who shared an image on Twitter. This picture hinted that the Chinese smartphone maker apparently plans on launching a foldable handset sometime next year. Furthermore, the tipster also revealed to PhoneArena that “multiple” foldable smartphones are on their way as well. As of right now, it is unknown what design the upcoming foldable phone will feature. Although, there have been rumors that OnePlus will launch at least one model that is similar to the Oppo Find N.

The Find N has a vertical hinge with a form factor that is similar to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3. In other words, it features a primary display that folds inwards along with a secondary external display. It is also possible that OnePlus may launch a smaller and more affordable version of the Galaxy Z Flip 3, which has a clamshell folding design. There is even a tri fold design that has been seen in Samsung patents, but this model is unlikely to make its way with the first wave of OnePlus foldable phones.

Recently, Oppo, Vivo, and Xiaomi have launched their own iterations of devices with flexible displays. However, these phones were only limited to the Chinese market and have yet to make their way to the international market. This means that OnePlus has a lot of potential to fill this gap in the international market since it typically launches all of its models for its home and overseas market.
