Samsung recently announced the Galaxy M53 5G smartphone for the European and select Asian markets. Now, the South Korean giant is all set to launch the smartphone in the Indian market this month.
While the company has not yet confirmed the launch date in India, tipster Mukul Sharma has shared a teser poster which confirms that the Galaxy M53 5G will be officially launched in the Indian market on 22nd April.
Since the device has already been launched in other markets, we know the specifications of the smartphone. It features a 6.7-inch Infinity-O Super AMOLED display with a Full-HD+ screen resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate.
Under the hood, the device is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 900 processor, coupled with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. There’s also a microSD card slot, allowing users to expand the storage capacity up to 1TB.
In the camera department, there’s a quad-camera setup on the back that includes a 108-megapixel primary sensor, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide sensor, a 2-megapixel depth sensor, and a 2-megapixel macro lens. On the front side, it comes with a 32-megapixel snapper for taking selfies and video calling.

While Vivo has confirmed that the “X80 series” will be announced on the said date, there is no confirmation on the number of devices that will be in the lineup. The X80 series probably includes the Vivo X80, Vivo X80 Pro, and Vivo X80 Pro+. The new teaser that the company has rolled out gives a good look at the design of the X80 series.
As can be seen in the screengrabs, the Vivo X80 series’ rear design will be almost identical to the Vivo X Note. The orange back of the device features a wide camera block with a quad-camera unit and an LED flash inside. The front of the device lineup features a punch-hole display.

AMD’s upcoming release of its Ryzen 7000 series of desktop CPUs is one of the most highly anticipated announcements by PC and tech enthusiasts alike. This is because the Ryzen 7000 series of CPUs will be the first lineup of Ryzen CPUs to run AMD’s latest AM5 platform, as opposed to the Ryzen 1000 to 5000 series CPUs that were running on AMD’s older AM4 platform.
As we are inching nearer close to the launch of Ryzen 7000, more leaks and rumours have started to surface online about Ryzen 7000 and a recent leak this week shows concerning details of the SoC lineup as it shows off the high voltage draw of a supposed member from the Ryzen 7000 lineup.
The leak comes from Twitter user @9550pro, as the tweet shares a screenshot of an off-screen BIOS menu screen which shows off the motherboard and Vcore voltage draw of the chipset.
Source: Twitter
Starting from the motherboard, it is examined that the motherboard is a member of the MAG family of motherboards that are exclusive to MSI. Next is the B650 moniker, which means that the CPU is running on an AMD AM5-based motherboard. And since the AM5 platform was designed specifically for the Zen-4 based Ryzen 7000 CPUs to replace the AM4 platform, it is apparent to see why this could be a member of the upcoming Ryzen 7000 series lineup of desktop CPUs.
Moving onto the next detail, VCore. The image shared also details of the VCore voltage draw of the CPU which is at 1.532 V, which is quite concerning for an AMD CPU, as normally the average voltage draw of AMD CPUs is at 1.3-1.4V voltages.
In simpler terms, higher voltage draw leads to higher power draw, which leads to lower power efficiency, and higher temperatures and leaves the CPU more prone to thermal throttling.
Despite the concerns, the above statements only hold true if the finalised retail version of the Ryzen 7000 series is presented with the high voltage draw. The shared photo may be a Ryzen 7000 early test sample or engineering sample running in AMD’s research and development team to optimise its power efficiency and performance before its planned launch date in 2H 2022.

Tipster Evan Blass has hinted that the Google Pixel Watch that runs on Wear OS 3.1 could be launched soon. The smart wearable device has been a subject of speculation and uncertainty for quite some time and the tipster is further fueling this with the new lead.
Blass says that the Pixel Rohan’s launch is imminent, although there are no specific dates 2022 seems to be it. The codename Rohan has long been associated with the first-ever Google smartwatch. However, it does not necessarily imply that the device will bear the Rohan moniker when it is eventually released. Google could adopt a more catchy marketing name for a device primed to rival the big hitters in the field like Apple and Samsung.
The Pixel Watch will run on the latest version of the Wear OS, which is version 3.1. However, Wear OS 3.1 may just introduce a few improvements in capabilities and aesthetics above version 3.0. The new operating system should provide some head start for the rookie smartwatch, It remains to be seen the manner of improvements the Google Pixel Rohan will deliver above current leading models like the Apple Watch. There were rumored launch dates of May 11, July, and October 2022, adding to the uncertainty around the smartwatch. The May date coincides with the 2022 I/O Conference and could be a credible date for the launch.
While much of the information and specs of the Pixel smartwatch are speculative, the device may come with a circular design and offer high-end ECG monitoring. This will be in addition to the basic sensors that have propped smartwatches as important health and fitness devices. It is also rumored to offer up to 32GB of internal storage to bring it at par with the frontrunners in the market. The processor of the device is also expected to be high-end but no inkling yet on it. There are no indications also of the price of the new device.
Huawei launched the brand’s first-ever Electric Vehicle under its AITO sub-brand back in China in 2021. Called the AITO M5, the EV was seen as a bold business strategy for Huawei to expand its expertise into the automobile industry.
With decent sales of shipment figures for the AITO M5 EV, it seems that it is in Huawei’s best interest to keep developing electric vehicles in the market. Apparently, Huawei thinks so as well, as a recent listing on China’s MIIT Database(via IT Home), shows that Huawei has already planned ahead for its next generation of electric vehicles as recently got certified to proceed with the operation.
Huawei AITO M7 – FrontHuawei AITO M7 – Back
The listing does not show off the name of the product, but if examined closely, one of the photos contains a blurry wording that seems to resemble “AITO M7” signifying that this listing is the next Huawei electric vehicle to be launched under the AITO sub-brand.
From the listing, the Huawei AITO M7 EV is detailed to be a mid-large sized 6-seater hybrid electric SUV, slightly larger than its AITO M5 predecessor. Judging from the outside looks, the AITO M7 adopts a similar design as its older sibling, the AITO M5. It features the same enormous air ventilation grill at the frontal bumper, a sleek and straight roofline, aerodynamic translucent headlights, chrome coloured trims across the body, etc.
The EV is also listed to come in five-spoke and ten-spoke wheel options, with optional upgrades such as chrome greyish translucent tinted windows, or ink-black translucent tinted windows. One minor design change of the AITO M7 though is that it seems to lack the “Huawei Zhixuan” logo on the EV present on the AITO M5. However, the pictures uploaded to the listing did not show off pictures of the automobile from all angles, but there may be a possibility that Huawei had just decided to relocate the logo elsewhere on the car.
In terms of dimensions, the Huawei AITO M7 weighs in at 2340kg, and has a length, width and height of 5020×1945×1775mm.
For the engine powering the AITO M7, the electric hybrid automobile will be utilising a 1.5T range extender + motor combo. The rated power/peak power of the electric drive motor is listed to be 72kW/200kW, the maximum net engine power is listed to be 90kW, and the fuel consumption given by China’s MIIT is 1.05L/100km.
Since the AITO M5 only started delivering in March of 2022, it is expected that the AITO M7 will be announced later in the year so as to not cannibalise sales of the AITO M5.
Vivo is expected to launch its flagship Vivo X80 series soon, and if we go by the leaks, the launch could take place as early as this month. While Vivo on the Internet appears to shush about the release date, a poster of the X80 series was spotted at offline stores in China.
The Vivo X80 teaser poster is already live in China. The smartphone’s rear design can be seen on the poster. The phone’s much-rumoured ZEISS branded quad-camera system is also visible. This time around, the camera island on the phone is circular as opposed to the predecessor’s vertically positioned rectangular camera island.
In addition to the cameras, the poster confirms the presence of Vivo V1+ ISP on the phone. This is probably the improved version of the V1 chip that we saw in last year’s Vivo X70. Moreover, the phone’s 4nm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC has also been confirmed by the poster. As per leaks, this chip will be powered by the X80 Pro+.
The series will also include X80 and X80 Pro, which will have the Dimensity 8100 and Dimensity 9000 SoCs, respectively. The X80 and X80 Pro are expected to come with a 6.78-inch E5 AMOLED display, while the X80 Pro+ is said to feature a 6.78-inch LTPO 2.0 AMOLED panel. The X80 and X80 Pro+ will have QHD+ resolution, whereas, the vanilla X80 will get an FHD+ screen. All models will have a high 120Hz refresh rate.
The camera setup on the vanilla X80 will have a 50MP + 12MP + 12MP triple camera system, while the X80 Pro and X80 Pro+ are expected to come with a 50MP + 48MP + 50MP + 50MP quad-camera array.
After the release of the Realme GT Neo 3, now the brand is working on the upcoming Realme GT Neo 3T smartphone. It will be a toned-down version of the Neo 3 and a successor to the last year’s GT Neo 2T. In the newest development of the phone, it has arrived on China’s 3C and Geekbench certification websites.
The Realme GT Neo 3T carries the model number RMX3372 on both certifications. The device has impressive scores on the Geekbench version 5. It has 979 points in the single-core department and 3047 points in the multi-core department.
It is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 SoC which is clocked at a based frequency of 1.80GHz and a peak frequency of 3.19GHz. The device has 8GB of RAM and runs on the Android 12 version.
In addition to this, from the 3C certification(viaPiyush Bhasarkar), we get to learn that the phone has 11V and 7.3A charging support, which translates to an 80W fast charging speed. This is an improvement over the predecessor GT Neo 2T’s 65W fast charging speed.
Apart from this, the phone passed TENAA certification earlier this month. It has a 6.62-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and Full-HD+ resolution. It features a 16MP Sony IMX471 selfie snapper and a triple rear camera system. It has a 64MP OmniVision OV64B main lens, an 8MP Sony IMX355 ultra-wide lens, and a 2MP tertiary unit.
The phone will arrive in 6GB/8GB/12GB LPDDR5 RAM + 128GB/256GB/512GB UFS 3.1 storage variants. It will pack a 5,000mAh battery and have a dual-speaker setup. As for security, it is expected to have an under-display fingerprint scanner.
Motorola has slowly been updating more and more of its eligible devices to the latest Android 12-based OS. Earlier this week, the Moto G200 5G was treated with the Android 12 update, and now, the company has started releasing the Android 12 update for the Moto G50.
To clarify, the device receiving this update is the Snapdragon 480-powered Moto G50 and not the Moto G50 5G which comes with the Dimensity 700 SoC. According to an XDAdevelopers report, the update arrives with the build number S1RF32.27-25 and is currently available for the XT2137-1-DS model in the UK. As of yet, the update has not made its way to other regions, but it’s only a matter of time before it does.
Although Motorola’s software update page says that the Android 12 update for the Moto G50 is not live yet, the stable build is already available through the company’s Rescue and Smart Assistant Tool. So UK users can expect the Android 12-based MY UX build to arrive soon to their devices via OTA. Users can also grab the latest update right now using the Rescue tool and flash it manually using a PC. But if you are not well versed in flashing operating systems on Androids, then we won’t recommend you go the manual way.
The Android 12-based My UX update will bring new features like the Material You theming engine, a revamped notification panel, a privacy dashboard, camera and mic “in use” indicators, and more.

India is rapidly making progress in its plans to phase out internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles in the country. A few initiatives have seen the development of electric conversion kits that will transform ICE vehicles into electric-powered models. The outlook for the conversion kits is expected to grow and Hero Splendor is keying into the process. The Hero Splendor Electric GoGo A1 conversion kit has now added the ARAI certification to its previous regulatory endorsements.
GoGo A1 is the manufacturer of the Hero Splendor and with the kit, it is offering owners the option of converting their bike to an electric model. The full kit with a battery pack costs Rs. 95,000 (~$1,245) and Rs. 35,000 (~$459) without the battery. The company says the battery can deliver a range of 151km on a full charge. The kit had previously received RTO approval in addition to the ARAI approval it just got.
The kit contains a 2 kW electric motor, mounted on the rear wheel hub fed by a 2.8 kWh battery pack, with a regenerative braking system. A DC-DC converter, new accelerator wiring, a key switch with controller box, and a new swingarm are also included.
The conversion will be carried out at GoGo A1’s installation workshops in 36 RTO locations in India. Customers will be able to get insurance for the converted motorbike after some documentation at the local RTO. A converted bike is issued a new green numberplate although the registration number will remain unchanged.
The outlook on this new Gogo A1 initiative is a plus to the government’s effort to significantly reduce tailpipe emissions and a growing number of Indians embracing electric vehicles. The battery pack remains a very expensive component of the conversion. It brings again to focus the challenges Indian EV manufacturers face in ensuring affordability and durability. Recent weeks have seen several electric scooter fire incidents. Most of these fires relate to overheating of the battery packs partly due to summer in the subcontinent.
