Over the last couple of years, many smartphone brands have expanded their product line outside of just handsets. This includes OnePlus, which has also launched a number of different products apart from just phones. And now, a new leak has revealed that a Nord Watch smartwatch is also in the works.

The news arrives from a tweet from known tipster Mukul Sharma who spotted the Nord Watch moniker on the Chinese brand’s official Indian website. In other words, the company is working on a new wearable that will be under its “Nord” branding. This also implies that its launch might be just around the corner, or we might see official teasers of this product surface soon.

If this is true, then the new Nord Watch will be the first wearable product to be sold alongside Nord Buds. The latter are wireless earbuds that are set to be unveiled on April 28, along with the OnePlus 10R 5G and the Nord CE 2 Lite 5G in India. Unfortunately, apart from the brand name of the upcoming smartwatch, there so other finer details like specifications revealed on the official website. Although, the new smartwatch is expected to launch sometime in the second half of this year, alongside the OnePlus Nord 3.

As of right now, only educated guesses can be made regarding its possible specifications or price range. As per our previous report, the Nord Watch might be launched in the segment between 5,000 INR and 8,000 INR.

Vivo X Note Unboxing & First Impression: 7-inch Phablets are back

Vivo launched three new products at the April 11th event: Vivo Pad, X Fold, and the X Note. Judging from the price and specifications, these three products should be the most powerful flagship products of Vivo in the first half of this year.

Today we bring you the Unboxing of the Vivo X Note.

vivo X Note unboxing featured 15

The shape of the box is the same as the previous Vivo phones, which are flat square boxes. When you open the box, there is only one phone lying quietly in the middle. The difference is that this time the accessories are stored in the drawer of the box. You need to pull out the drawer from the bottom to see all the accessories.

vivo X Note unboxing 13In addition to the charger and charging cable, a wired earphone is also included. Vivo should be one of the few manufacturers who still give away wired earphones in the box. There is also a vegan leather case in the same color as the phone, which is very well-made. If you buy it alone, it should cost you a lot of money. If you like to put UV tempered film on your new phone, Vivo also included some protective stickers to prevent UV glue from flowing into the earpiece or buttons to damage the phone.

At first, when I heard that the X Note was 7 inches, I was worried if it was too big for me. But after I saw the X Note, I realized it wasn’t as big as I thought it would be. Maybe you don’t know, but the phones we usually use are already in the 6.8-inch class, so 0.2 inches bigger isn’t a lot bigger.

vivo X Note unboxing featuredIf you’re used to using your current big-screen phone, then you should get used to this one pretty quickly, too. Although it’s very difficult to control with one hand, other flagship phones aren’t much better than it. Did I mention it has ultrasonic fingerprint recognition? It unlocks with a casual press on the lower middle part of the screen. We’ve seen this feature on the iQOO 9 Pro as well. I think a phone with a large screen should come with this fingerprint recognition, as it’s the best fingerprint recognition I’ve ever used.

There is a mute switch on the side, you have one less reason to buy a OnePlus phone. The X Note weighs 216g, but the huge body even makes it feel light. Aside from the size, the phone is well-made in terms of texture and built quality.

vivo X Note unboxing 06

The advantage of a bigger phone is definitely a bigger screen. A 7-inch screen really allows you to immerse yourself in your world. I put the iPad Mini and the X Note together, and the X Note is only a little smaller than the iPad mini’s screen. And the X Note has a better screen, the 120Hz E5 OLED is one of the top screens out there. In the past, because the screen is too small, the split-screen function is rarely used. Now that the screen has reached 7 inches, the area for displaying and controlling two applications is bigger, and I believe more people will love this feature. After all, you buy a big-screen phone for a better video and multitasking experience, right?

vivo X Note unboxing 04

The rest of the X Note’s specs are very appealing as well. The processor is Snapdragon 8Gen1. Antutu gets 1.02 million points. The four cameras are the same sensor as the X70 Pro Plus, which also has a Zeiss coating. But there is no Micro Gimbal Stabilization on the ultra-wide camera, the 2x portrait lens has no OIS, and the aperture has become smaller. But this camera system is still very powerful, and you never have to worry about the photographic capabilities of Vivo’s flagship phones.

vivo X Note unboxing 03

What’s a bit disappointing is that it only has a 5000mAh battery. With such a large body, I thought it would have at least a 5500mAh battery. But the good news is that the charging power has been upgraded to 80w. Wireless charging has also been upgraded to 50w, but first, you have to buy Vivo’s wireless charging dock.

vivo X Note unboxing 02

The Vivo X Note is offered in three storage versions, starting at 6,000 RMB ($942), and it’s clearly a phone for people who like big-screen phones, with no obvious advantages or drawbacks. It meets the needs of business people who need to travel a lot. Honestly, I don’t know if you guys are interested in this phone, so it’s up to you to decide whether to make a full review video of the X Note or not.

AMD Ryzen 7000 Series CPU Spotted Running Up to 1.532V on MSI’s Upcoming Motherboard, Here’s Why That’s Concerning

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.

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.
