These model numbers reportedly belong to the upcoming iQOO Neo6 and the iQOO Z6 Pro 5G that is scheduled to debut on April 27 in India.

The BIS certification is a good hint that the iQOO Neo6 could be coming soon to India. Since the iQOO Z6 Pro 5G is launching next in India, it is likely that the Neo6 could be coming to India as early as May in India.

POCO is gearing up to launch a new smartphone later this month. It is the F4 GT, which is set to be unveiled on April 26. However, it seems that will launch alongside a hearable, which might be the POCO Buds Pro Genshin Impact Edition.

The special edition of the truly wireless earbuds was recently spotted receiving the Bluetooth SIG certification. In other words, its launch might be imminent and with the F4 GT announcement being just around the corner, it won’t be a surprise if the Chinese smartphone maker released both products together. The earbuds were spotted on the Bluetooth SIG website carrying the model number TWSEJ01ZM, which also hints that it is a rebranded version of the same limited edition model of another earbud from Redmi.

For those unaware, Xiaomi had launched the Redmi AirDots 3 Pro back in May 2021. Furthermore, it even released a Redmi AirDots 3 Pro Genshin Impact Edition earlier this year. Apart from special additions in its design, the limited edition model was identical to the AirDots 3 Pro. So, we can already make some educated guesses regarding the POCO Buds Pro Genshin Impact Edition’s specifications. It will likely house a 9mm audio driver, support active noise cancellation up to 35 decibels, and even offer a transparency mode as well.

Other features include Bluetooth 5.2, a dedicated gaming mode with 69ms latency, a triple microphone setup for the environmental noise cancellation feature, IPX4 water resistance rating, gesture controls, and more. The new special edition wireless earphone might also pack the same 35mAh battery pack for each earbud that offers 6 hours of audio playback and another 28 hours of total playback from its 470mAh battery pack on the charging case. Keep in mind that it is still too early to tell, and this is just speculation at the moment, so take this report with a pinch of salt.

Apr 19, 2022

HP is apparently planning on launching a new 17 inch foldable laptop. The latest rumor is that the company working on a laptop with a flexible OLED display and is sourcing a cover for this screen from a South Korean supplier.

According to TheElec report, the known PC maker is supplying the thin ad flexible polyimide (PI) film that will cover the 17 inch flexible OLED panel for its foldable laptops from South Korean conglomerate, SK IE Technology (SKIET). For those unaware, foldable panels that brands employ usually consist of either UTG (Ultra Thin Glass) or the PI film. The former is prominent in Samsung Galaxy Z series devices. But it seems that Hewlett-Packard’s foldable laptop will favor the latter.

As per recent rumors, the foldable laptop will sport a 17 inch panel that has a 4K resolution. Furthermore, in its compact form, it will measure just 11 inches and can unfold to its full size of 17 inch. So, it’s likely that the display technology is from LG, which showcased larger sized bendable OLEDs back at the CES 2022 event. In other words, there’s a chance that it might also come with a stylus and touchscreen support.

TheElec found that SKIET and LG will be shipping around 10,000 flexible OLED displays and protective films to HP. The limited quantity is likely due to the niche market that the foldable device targets. Meaning, it is probably going to be quite expensive as well. But as of right now, we have no news regarding its pricing or even possible specifications. So stick around for more updates.

Vivo has just slashed the prices for two of its smartphone models in India. The devices in question include the Vivo Y33s and the Y33T. Both models have seen a reduction in price, so let’s have a look at their new price tags.

The news arrives from 91Mobiles, who exclusively learned from retail sources within the country. Notably, the price cut arrives just months after the smartphones were launched in the region. Although, both devices come with similar specifications. Talking about the Y33T first, it sports a 6.58 inch FHD+ display with a 90Hz refresh rate and 2408×1080 pixels resolution. It packs the Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 SoC, which is paired with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. The device houses a 50 megapixel triple camera sensor on the rear, while the front features a 16 megapixel selfie camera.

On the other hand, the Vivo Y33s also sports a similar 6.58 inch FHD+ LCD display with 2,400×1,080 pixels resolution. It also comes with a MediaTek Helio G80 SoC that is paired with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. While the Y33T runs Android 12 out of the box, the Y33s comes with Android 11. On the rear, it houses a 50 megapixel triple camera setup, while the front features a 16 megapixel sensor.

With the new price drop, both smartphones are now available for 1,000 INR (roughly 13 US Dollars) cheaper in India. In other words, the Vivo Y33T, which launched for 18,990 INR (roughly 250 US Dollars), is now priced at 17,990 INR (roughly 235 US Dollars). Meanwhile, the Y33s was originally launched for 17,990 INR, but saw a price hike to 18,990 INR. So, the price slash brings it back to its original price tag. The new price cut is effective as of today (19th April 2022), which should be seen in Amazon, Flipkart, and other retail stores as well.

Okinawa dealership in flames after Praise Pro e-scooters catch fire, company issues recall

The track record of EVs (Electric Vehicles) in India isn’t looking too good with all the recent fire related accidents. And now, another major incident has just surfaced as an entire Okinawa Autotech dealership got burnt down, which is believed to be caused by an EV inside the store.

According to a 91Mobiles report, this incident has caused the company to issue a recall for its Praise Pro electric scooters. Apparently, the reason for the recall is under a fault check up and redressal service. The brand had issued a recall for 3,215 units of its EVs on 16th April 2022. The units were the Okinawa Praise Pro e-scooters, which are apparently facing an issue with their battery pack, which caused the fire related accident.

For those unaware, three of the company’s e-scooters caught fire back in October 2021. This ended up causing injuries to two people. On the other hand, the fire accident in the dealership was even more intense, but it remains to be seen how extensive the damage really was. But looking at videos shared on social media, we can assume that it is unlikely that anything was left uncharred on the inside.

The accident might have been caused by just one faulty battery but its flames ended up engulfing the entire dealership. As of right now, it was reported that there were no casualties and the fire was put out eventually. This marks another case of EVs and a fire accident in India. There could be many reasons for this accident like the poor design or thermal management system for the battery. But we have no way of knowing for sure at the moment.

Apr 19, 2022

Huawei has been focusing on other products to expand its portfolio as it cannot generate much revenue through smartphones given that the brand is facing some heavy sanctions from the United States.

In line with that, the Chinese company has been focusing on a wide range of products and one of them is Smart Home devices. Last month, Huawei Smart Door Lock and Smart Door Lock Pro were announced in China.

Today, the company has started taking pre-orders for both devices. The Huawei Smart Door Lock is priced at 2,499 yuan (~$392) while the Pro model costs 3,699 yuan (~$580). The products can now be pre-ordered through Huawei Mall and JD.com and will go on sale from 28th April in the Chinese market.

Both these new smart door locks come powered by Huawei’s self-developed HarmonyOS, making it the world’s first smart lock to be using HarmonyOS. Thus, it is also a part of the HarmonyOS ecosystem and can be connected to other smart devices within the home.

The Smart Door Lock Pro is capable of 3D facial recognition and its AI architecture ensures self-learning that improves facial recognition over time. It is claimed to unlock the door within a couple of seconds of assessing the person at the door.

The company says that there’s a probability of 1 in a million that it will unlock the door for someone who ought not to gain access. It features a P50 Pro camera that can identify objects within a 150-degree viewing angle.

The device works for persons between 3.4 ft and 6.6 ft and can also work in both bright and dark light situations. The Huawei Smart Door Lock Pro has a 3.97-inch display that enables the owner to view persons at the door.

Apple iPhone 14 design & camera bump size showcased in leaked molds

Apr 19, 2022

Over the last couple of weeks, we have reported on various leaks and rumors regarding the 2022 Apple iPhone lineup. And now, another new leak has just surfaced, which showcases the design of the entire iPhone 14 series.

According to a MacRumors report, the latest leak comes from images of iPhone 14 series molds that showcase the design and the camera bump size of the four models. The report further added that these molds were found on Weibo (a Chinese microblogging website). So, they are likely to be molds used for third party iPhone protective covers rather than the ones used for the actual smartphones’ production.

Looking at these molds, the most noticeable aspect is undoubtedly the lack of an iPhone mini model. Apart from that, we can also observe changes in the iPhones’ sizes in 2022. This year, the Cupertino based giant is apparently getting rid of the 5.4 inch iPhone model, which did not perform too well in the smartphone market. So due to the poor sales, the company is now leaning toward larger iPhone sizes. Thus, the four molds we see include the 6.1 inch iPhone 14, 6.1 inch iPhone 14 Pro, 6.7 inch iPhone 14 Max, and the 6.7 inch iPhone 14 Pro Max.

Another notable change in design with the 2022 iPhones is the camera bump. Apparently, the camera bump sizes for the entire lineup will be taller than the previous generation, the iPhone 13 lineup. But for the most part, the iPhone 14 series will feature a similar design, with flat edges and rounded corners. On the other hand, the front is expected to finally replace the large notch in favor of a circular punch hole cutout.

Last year, the rumor mill speculated that the Galaxy Z Fold3 would be the first Samsung foldable to support the S Pen stylus. While the S Pen Pro and the S Pen Fold Edition are compatible with the Galaxy Z Fold3, the regular S Pen does not work on the device. It is unclear whether the Galaxy Z Fold4 will carry support for the regular S Pen.

It was reported last month that Samsung could be working on a “Super UTG” for the Galaxy Z Fold4. It is expected to offer a stronger surface for using the S Pen. Hence, there is a possibility that the regular S Pen may work on the Z Fold4. It is advisable to wait for further reports to know whether the device will have a dedicated S Pen holster.

Previous reports have claimed that the Galaxy Z Fold4 will come with a single hinge design for better durability. It is also speculated to feature an upgraded camera system. The Z Fold4 is rumored to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset.

Robot vacuum cleaners that perform the dual functions of sweeping and mopping are quite common these days but if you have used one, you’ll agree that they don’t provide the same dexterity that a handheld mop will give you. Xiaomi seems to have provided a solution to that by launching a dedicated mechanical mop. The device is dubbed MIJIA dual-brush wireless mopping machine.

As the name implies, the MIJIA dual-brush wireless mopping machine adopts an innovative dual-brush design and supports real-time spray cleaning. The front brush washes the dirt in the front while the brush at the back wipes the stains in the back thus improving the cleaning efficiency of the user. The self-driving traction force of the motor enables smooth pushing and pulling for free cleaning.

At the same time, this product also adopts a frameless design. The front roller brush can deform to take the shape of wall edges in other to effectively clean the edges where the floor meets the wall.

In addition, the MIJIA mopping machine can spray clean the roller brush with clean water in real-time to keep it clean after use. Furthermore, after the cleaning is over, all the user needs to do is to put the brush back on the base and turn on the auxiliary cleaning with one button to simulate manual hand washing, reducing the frequency of cleaning the roller brush and making it more convenient to take care of.

In addition, when cleaning low places such as the bottom of the sofa and underneath the bed, the MIJIA double-brush wireless mopping machine can be adjusted to assume a lay-flat state, with a lay-flat thickness of 13cm. It also supports 90° up and down rotation in this state. The machine can also be left upright anytime, anywhere. It also automatically stops when the water is empty or the degree of dirt is high and emits a buzzer sound to remind you to clean up in time.

In terms of the core configuration, the battery of the MIJIA Dual-brush wireless mopping machine can last for up to 35 minutes. It also packs a built-in 420mL water purification tank and a 200mL sewage tank.

The MIJIA mopping machine carries a crowdfunding price of 899 yuan (~$141) and will be up for backing at 10:00 am on April 20. The mop will retail for 999 yuan (~$156).

The latest report claims that the upcoming Pixel 6a will lack the Motion Mode for the camera department. The feature adds blurs to the moving part and action pan, which applies a blur effect to the background.

A report coming from XDA-Developers indicates that the code for displaying Pixel Tips about Motion Mode has excluded a device codenamed “bluejay,” which is said to be the identifier for the Pixel 6a.

The reason behind excluding this feature from the device could be because of the lack of a 50-megapixel camera sensor on the Pixel 6a as it needs a higher-resolution sensor to work. The phone is expected to have a 12.2-megapixel primary sensor which it has been using for the past few years on its Pixel A-series smartphones.

Based on the information leaked so far, it appears that the Google Pixel 6a will continue to have the same design as its predecessor, featuring a 6.2-inch display. Internally, the device will come powered by the Google Tensor SoC, which is powering the Pixel 6 series phones.

Samsung is one of the handful of smartphone manufacturers globally that makes its own chipsets. However, unlike Apple, the South Korean giant also uses chips from Qualcomm and MediaTek for its smartphones.

But it appears that the company is going to make a change in its strategy for the usage of processors in its smartphones as it aims to increase the usage of its own Exynos chips.

As per the new report, Samsung Electronics is now shifting its focus toward the Galaxy A-series and Galaxy M-series smartphones. With that, the company hints at shifting its focus from developed countries to emerging markets.

The report adds that as a part of that strategy, the South Korean giant is also set to increase the usage of its own chipsets in mid-range and low-end smartphones.

In line with that, the company has used the Samsung Exynos 850 processor in the newly launched Galaxy A13 4G smartphone in the North American market. The Samsung Galaxy A13 5G has already been launched, powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 700 processor.

As the name clearly indicates, the Galaxy A13 is the successor of the Galaxy A12, which shipped 51.8 million units in the year 2021. With that, it became the world’s best-selling smartphone model and the first smartphone ever to sell more than 50 million units.

The Samsung Galaxy A13 was powered by the MediaTek Helio P35 processor and thus it played a major role in the rise of MediaTek’s market share. With Galaxy A13 4G powered by Samsung Exynos 850 chip and 5G model of the smartphone powered by MediaTek chip, the company is eyeing to increase the market share of Exynos chips.

Realme C30 Series to launch soon in India with design and performance as the focus, says Madhav Sheth

Realme’s C-series this year saw a much-needed design revamp. The recent entrants in the C-lineup of the phones from the brand are Realme C31 and Realme C35. Both phones, despite following the same higher-end models’ rear design cues, offer better looks than their predecessors. Realme’s Madhav Sheth has now revealed that there’s another addition in the C-series due for launch, that will bring a similar or better design and become a differentiator in the segment.

Realme C30 Series is in the works!

Sheth spoke to folks at BGR.in in their latest interview that sheds light on the yet-to-release Realme C30. And as per him, this is a series, meaning that we might see the Realme C30 and its variants getting released soon in India. As to what we should expect? Sheth hinted at a better-looking design, probably a continuation of the strings pulled by the Realme C31/C35’s tweaked back design.

In addition to the design, the C30 will also bring performance improvements and be a differentiator in the entry-level market. Since Realme C30, as the moniker suggests, will be positioned somewhere near the C31, we expect the pricing to be aggressive.

“What we have understood from our past experience is that design has been the core fundamental pillar along with performance. With Realme, performance and design are the core fundamental pillars. If you see our new C35 series, the design has been liked by people a lot. So, we are trying to differentiate a lot of things by design and in terms of performance in the entry-level segment”, said Sheth.

There are no explicit details as to its specs or price range, but we expect entry-level hardware like the C35’s UNISOC SoC to power the device. Nothing is confirmed by Sheth regarding the phone’s specs, but we should see some leaks as we move closer to the release.
