Last month, Sony confirmed that the Xperia 10 II will soon receive the Android 12 update in some regions. However, the release timeline wasn’t confirmed. Now, it appears that the device has started receiving the latest update in regions like South East Asia.

No Samsung Galaxy S22 FE this year: Rumor

Apr 26, 2022

Samsung’s Galaxy S21 FE has been a favorite for some and uninteresting for others. Whatever be the case, its successor was said to be in the pipeline this year. However, a new leak reveals that the Samsung Galaxy S22 FE may not actually happen.

According to a Korean blog, there’s a possibility that the Samsung Galaxy S22 FE will not be released this year. It is said that there’s no available development firmware for the smartphone, nor does the development team have any AP-related content for the device. As per Dohyun Kim, this is similar to the Galaxy Note 21’s situation where the sign of its availability was little to none.

As of now, there’s no official confirmation regarding this by the brand, so it’s recommended to take the information with a grain of salt.

Although the phone’s not arriving this year, we expect it to launch sometime later. Previous rumors have revealed that the phone could arrive with a Dimensity chipset. However, the most recent leaks opposed it and hinted that the phone could stick to Exynos or Snapdragon SoCs. At the moment, the exact chipset isn’t confirmed.

Other than the chipset, the S22 FE is expected to come with a similar design as the Galaxy S22. We aren’t sure whether it will go with the plastic shell like the S21 FE or have better-built quality. More details of the phone remain unknown.

Redmi will rename the Note 12 series, will be a true successor to the Note 10 Pro: Lu Weibing

Apr 26, 2022

Last year, Xiaomi launched the Redmi Note 11 Pro in China. The device, however, was confusing for many buyers as it wasn’t an upgrade over the existing Redmi Note 10 Pro which was selling with a cheaper price tag.

Now, Redmi’s general manager Lu Weibing has come out to clear the confusion over the device. In a Weibo post, the Redmi GM explains that since last year, the company has adopted a “two generations a year strategy.” Out of these, one generation will focus on extreme performance while the other will prioritize all-around experience.

The company basically applied this strategy with the Note 11 Pro making it an all-around experience device after debuting the performance-focused Redmi Note 10 Pro earlier in the year.

The Redmi GM admitted that this approach made the Note 11 Pro 5G a confusing device for customers as they were expecting a direct successor of the performance-focused Note 10 Pro. To solve this confusion, Redmi has decided to rename its upcoming Redmi Note 12 series (placeholder name) to something that better represents its emphasis on performance.

Lu Weibing has also asked community members for suggestions regarding the name on the upcoming device.

Coming to the specs of the next-gen Redmi Note phones, the devices were recently spotted on TENAA with 22041216C and 22041216UC model numbers. The listing reveals that the devices have a 6.6-inch display, likely FHD+ in resolution. The 22041216C variant has a 4,980mAh battery, while the 22041216UC model has a 4,300mAh battery. Both of these devices run Android 12 out of the box. Other than that, the upcoming Redmi Note is expected to come with a MediaTek dimensity chipset which is the Dimensity 8100. So the device is expected to come with the Dimensity 8000 or Dimensity 1300 SoC.

Honor X30 5G components breakdown reveals up to 40% reliance on the US

Apr 26, 2022

Former Huawei subsidiary Honor seems to have sufficiently extricated itself from its perceived connections with Huawei. The Honor X30 5G teardown has shown that the new smartphone has more than 40% of its components sourced from US suppliers. This is the clearest indication yet that Honor is steadily recovering from the US sanction regime it has been tagged with before now.

The X30 5G has a remarkably American connection with lots of its components coming from the United States. The X30 5G is a mid-ranger that was announced in December 2021. A breakdown of the X30 components was sighted in the Nikkei Asia Journal and pointed to an expected production cost of $217. According to the report, components manufactured in the US will account for 39% of the estimated production cost. Components produced in China were estimated to account for just 10%, according to the report.

Qualcomm, a US company produced the 5G modem and processor of the X30, while another US company Qorvo, supplied the communication processors of the smartphone. Japanese vendors also provided some key components in the Honor X30, which is estimated at 16%. The Japanese companies include TDK, Murata, Taiyo, Sony, and Yuden.

The seeming heavy reliance on foreign components for the Honor X30 could indicate sub-par components from China in some respect. On the whole, Honor could be on the path to a more global appeal beyond its presence in China.

OPPO Reno3, Reno3 Pro ColorOS 12 Beta commences for Indonesia & India

Apr 26, 2022

ColorOS 12 beta recruitment has commenced for the OPPO Reno3 in Indonesia and the Reno3 Pro in Indonesia and India. OPPO kicked off the recruitment process earlier today and will accept applications till April 30.

This is a limited beta, therefore, the company will only be accepting 5,000 participants each for the OPPO Reno3 and the Reno3 Pro. Applications will be reviewed within 5 working days following which selected applicants will get an OTA for the update after another 3 days.

OPPO Reno3 users need to check they’re updated to firmware C.24, in order to receive the OTA. This can be done by heading over to Settings > About Phone > Version Information > Version Number. Reno3 Pro users, on the other hand, need to make sure their devices are updated to version C.23/C.24 to receive the OTA carrying the ColorOS12 beta build.

It should be noted here that the ColorOS 12 update that will be rolled out will be a beta, meaning it’s not guaranteed to provide a stable experience. It’s true that the builds will have passed internal testing, but they’ll likely be rough around the edges, so expect bugs and abnormal power consumption. Therefore, it’s not recommended to apply for the beta unless you’re sure of what you’re doing.

OPPO also warns that since ColorOS 12 is based on Android 12, some third-party applications may run into compatibility issues — although the version has been out for months now so you should be just fine. Also recommended is backing up the data prior to the update process.

To apply for the open beta, head over to Settings > Software Update > Click the settings icon on the screen > Apply for Beta Version > Update Beta Version.
