Vivo’s next smartphone in the T-series will be the Vivo T1 Pro 5G. The device recently passed Geekbench revealing key details. Now, Onsitego has revealed the launch timeline of the device for the Indian market.

The Vivo T1 Pro 5G is tipped to launch in May in the Indian market. It means that we still have a few weeks until we see the phone on the shelves. We expect the device to arrive above Rs. 20,000 (~$262) range. Post launch, it is expected to compete with the subbrand’s iQOO Z6 Pro 5G.

To those unaware, the iQOO Z6 Pro 5G is set to arrive with the same chipset as the Vivo T1 Pro 5G i.e. the Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G SoC. We have already seen the T1 Pro 5G on Geekbench scoring 790 points in the single-core department and 2856 points in the multi-core department.

The phone will come with 8GB of RAM, which we expect will be the higher-end variant paired with 128GB or 256GB of storage. The phone could also come with a 6GB of RAM and 128GB variant as its base configuration. It will run on Android 12 OS out of the box with FunTouchOS on top of it.

Other specs of the phone are yet to be known, but we can expect an AMOLED display and better fast charging support as compared to the vanilla Vivo T1 5G.

Apr 14, 2022

Duovox has unveiled the Mate Pro camera and it comes loaded with some impressive features. The new camera which is being crowdfunded via Kickstarter is capable of making full-color photos and videos even in total darkness.

The new Douvox Mate Pro camera is a compact camera that is built to replace traditional infra-red night vision devices that output in black and white colors. It is meant for nighttime adventurers, content creators, and any person willing to catch night beauty unfettered. It is capable of taking high-quality shots and videos of very low-light situations. An official specs sheet is lacking at this time but a pre-production sample was presented to PetaPixel.

The Mate Pro night vision camera has dimensions of 11.4cm x 7.6cm x 5.4cm for its width, depth, and height respectively. It has a fixed length, non-removable lens, and the camera is easily tucked away when not in use. A lens cap is however not present in the camera, calling for extra caution in its handling. The camera weighs about 216g and it is front-heavy due to the lens apparatus. A mini tripod is part of the package to provide a sturdy stand for the device. There are six buttons at the top of the Duovox Mate Pro including the power, shutter, and a few shortcut buttons.

The array of camera settings and menu for the Mate Pro can be assessed via its 3-inch touchscreen at the back of the camera. The right side of the camera has a USB-C port and microSD card slot that can accommodate up to a 512GB card. This offers several hours of video and tons of photos saved on the device. The Duovox Mate Pro camera has a 3,000mAh non-removable battery that offers several hours of video activity on a full charge. The settings of the Mate Pro camera contain loads of options and modes that make the device quite versatile.

The signature feature of the Duovox Mate Pro seems to be its night vision capabilities. Its SONY STARVIS 2 CMOS sensor helps to capture very low-light images and videos in full color. The seven-lens camera setup helps to deliver high-quality images and videos of different resolutions and combine them into a single photo. The infra-red filter helps to retain the color fidelity of the shots or videos.

While the original price of the Duovox Mate Pro night vision camera has been put at $1,200, the Kickstarter platform has seen the price reduced to $599 with the first deliveries expected in October 2022. It remains to be seen how the current specs will match the reality when the Mate Pro is released to the market in October. We expect Duovox to keep to the timeline barring any setbacks.

Realme Buds Q2s TWS earbuds may launch in India alongside GT Neo 3

By

Apr 14, 2022

Realme might be planning on launching a new pair of TWS (truly wireless) earbuds in India soon. The new model in question is the Buds Q2s, which was previously launched in China.

According to a PriceBaba report, the Chinese smartphone maker could be planning on releasing its latest wireless earphones during the upcoming launch event of its Realme GT Neo 3 smartphone. For those unaware, the brand has teased the launch of the handset recently, so it won’t arrive as a surprise that the new Buds Q2s also tag along. Notably, the Buds Q2s are the successor to the Buds Q2 that was launched back in 2021, however, the newer model was never officially released outside of the company’s home market of China.

It is highly likely that the variant that launches in India will be identical to the Chinese model. So, the Buds Q2s will still feature the same 10mm audio drivers and will also feature the AI powered Environmental Noise Cancellation (ENC). The report further adds that the launch of the smartphone and the earbuds could be just mere weeks away.

Talking more about the hearables, the Realme Buds Q2s was launched in China in multiple color options, including Paper White, Paper Green, and Titanium Blue. A notable design aspect was the translucent top of the charging case which adds to its overall appeal. It also comes with Dolby Atmos support, a dedicated 88ms low latency mode, and is powered by a 480mAh battery pack. This enables it to offer a total of 30 hours of audio playback, which can be fast charged via a USB Type C port that enables 3 hour of music playback with just 10 minutes of charging.

Apple iPhone 15 may feature Periscope Telephoto Lens: Report

By

-

Apr 14, 2022

Apple is apparently planning on bringing a periscopic telephoto lens sensor to its 2023 iPhone lineup. The brand is rumored to have entered into an agreement with a lens supplier that will make these sensors for its future iPhones, starting from the iPhone 15 series.

According to TheElec, the South Korea based Jahwa Electronics recently announced that it plans to spend over 150 million US Dollars to build a plant that manufactures new OIS (optical image stabilization) actuators. This is notable considering Apple had previously visited the new facilities during the first half of last year. In other words, it is quite likely that the heavy investment arrives as a part of an agreement, which means that the Cupertino based giant will soon be acquiring these new OIS actuators next year.

This timeline puts it in line for the 2023 iPhone series. For those unaware, the iPhone maker typically asks its suppliers to build a dedicated production line that is exclusive for the parts that it sources from them. But, the new site that is planned to be built in Gumi will have to be approved by Apple, and could possibly take a year to complete. The company has been rumored to bring a periscopic telephoto lens for its smartphone for some time now, so it won’t be far fetched to assume that next year’s iPhone 15 might finally be the one to feature this camera technology.

Initial reports had also hinted at the iPhone 14 Pro possibly launching with this sensor. Although, newer reports have hinted otherwise. For those unaware, a periscopic telephoto lens usually allows for further zoom capabilities due to a “folded” telephoto setup inside the smartphone. So, we can expect higher optical and improved hybrid zoom on future iPhone models.
