Motorola had recently launched a couple of new smartphones from its G series of mid range models and even the E series of budget phones as well. Now, it seems that another G series model is on its way, with the G32 being spotted receiving online certification.

According to a MySmartPrice report, the upcoming Moto G32 was listed on the NBTC certification website. This basically also hints at its imminent launch, which might be sometime next month. Looking at the certification database, the smartphone carries the model number XT2235-3 and is confirmed to have the Moto G32 moniker. Furthermore, it was also listed as a 4G only model that comes with support for GSM/WCDMA/LTE networks.

Talking about its rumored specifications, the Moto G32 will sport a 6.5 inch LCD panel that has an HD+ resolution, 90Hz refresh rate, and a 20:9 aspect ratio. Under the hood, the device will likely be equipped with a UNISOC T606 processor and a Mali G57 GPU. For memory, it may even offer 4GB of RAM and up to 64GB of internal storage, while running on Android 11 or possibly even Android 12 OS.

These aforementioned specs are based on a rumor that suggests that the Moto G32 is a rebranded Moto E32 model.

Apple recently announced the new MacBook Air and MacBook Pro laptops powered by the latest M2 processor and now the technology giant is expected to launch new iPad Pro models powered by the new Apple Silicon M2 chip in the coming months.

It is rumored that the company could launch a new 14.1-inch model of the iPad Pro but now a new report from Ross Young claims that the device may not be a Pro model but could be a standard iPad.

It has now been confirmed by Ross Young that the upcoming 14.1-inch iPad will not come with a mini-LED display. Further, the device is also unlikely to get the ProMotion screen which means there won’t be support for an adaptive 120Hz refresh rate.

This development led to believe that the upcoming tablet may not be a part of the iPad Pro series given that the Pro models come with support for ProMotion screens since 2017.

He has also reiterated that the next 11-inch iPad Pro is not expected to feature mini-LED backlighting even though the 12.9-inch model has already adopted the technology last year. The company is expected to update both the 11-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pro with the M2 chip and more later this year.

As for the launch of the 14.1-inch iPad, after the reports of the device going official sometime later this year, the reports now claim that the tablet won’t be launched until the first quarter of 2023.

While Europe welcomed the Honor Magic4 series with two variants, in China the Chinese giant reborn after the separation from Huawei launched a brand new series of high-end phones: the Honor 70 lineup. It is composed of three variants: the vanilla Honor 70, the Honor 70 Pro, and the Honor 70 Pro Plus.

If you are wondering which one to buy and which are the differences between the three variants of the series, you are in the right place: this comparison between their specifications will give you the answer.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES	5G, dual SIM, reverse charging 5W	5G, dual SIM, reverse charging	5G, dual SIM, reverse charging

Design

The Honor 70, the Pro, and the Pro Plus variants have the same design and they only differ in their color variants. The vanilla version, for example, comes with very original color options including special textures on the rear side, as well as the Pro Plus. But overall, the design scheme does not change between these three handsets. What changes are the dimensions, the thickness, and the weight. The vanilla version comes with a more compact design because it has a smaller display. Further, it is thinner and lighter than the Pro variants. The Honor 70 Pro and the Pro Plus have the same bigger dimensions and the same thicker body.

Display

All of these phones come with amazing displays and they are at the same level. They provide you with great OLED panels able to show up to one billion colors with a Full HD+ resolution and a 120 Hz refresh rate. The color reproduction is very realistic, the blacks are very deep, and there is an in-display fingerprint reader on each of these phones. The Honor 70 Pro and the Pro Plus have exactly the same panel with a punch hole placed centrally, while the vanilla Honor 70 only differs because of a smaller display, but not so smaller. These handsets are equipped with great stereo speakers, but they do not offer a 3.5 mm audio jack.

Specs & Software

Among the most important difference between these three handsets, there is definitely the processor. The Honor 70 is considered a mid-ranger because it sports a Snapdragon 778G+ mobile platform built at 6 nm with a max frequency of 2.5 GHz. The Honor 70 Pro comes right after with a MediaTek Dimensity 8000 mobile platform running at a max frequency of 2.75 GHz. At last, the Honor 70 Pro Plus is the flagship because it sports the most powerful Mediatek chipset out there: the Dimensity 9000 built at 4 nm and running at a max frequency of 3.05 GHz. With the exception of the Pro Plus variant coming with up to 256 GB of internal storage, all the phones sport a max amount of storage of 512 GB, as well as 12 GB of RAM in the most advanced configurations. They run Android 12 customized by Magic UI 6.1.

Camera

All the phones of the trio come with a triple camera including a 54 MP main sensor and a 50 MP ultrawide lens. The Honor 70 Pro and the Pro Plus replace the useless 2 MP macro sensor of the vanilla version with an 8 MP telephoto lens supporting 3x optical zoom and OIS, that is the reason why they have better zoom capabilities. They also replace the 32 MP main camera of the vanilla version with a superior 50 MP snapper.

Battery

Despite the Honor 70 being the most affordable and even the thinnest handset of the trio, it is equipped with a bigger battery, with a capacity of 4800 mAh instead of the 4500 mAh capacity found on the remaining models. So it is able to provide a longer battery life on a single charge. On the other hand, the Pro and the Pro Plus are able to charge quicker thanks to 100W fast charging. All of these phones support reverse charging allowing you to use the phone as a power bank to charge other devices.

Price

Google has launched an innovative program to assist female startups in India. The Google for Startups Accelerator-India Women Founders program aims to help women CEOs to address business challenges.

The new program will help business founders address issues like hiring, fundraising, and other important aspects of their businesses. Over the course of three months, up to 20 startups with a strong female presence will benefit from the program. The female-centric startups, including those in the MVP stage, will be benefited. The initiative fits into Google’s broader program to improve female representation in the digital workforce in India.

Google has continued to expand its interventions in providing cutting-edge manpower across all spheres of the digital economy. Some of the sub-themes to be touched on during the program include mentorship, hiring of manpower, capital, access to networks, and more. Google will also offer training on mobile platforms and technology. The program is expected to further expand the low representation of women in leading positions in startups in the subcontinent. One of the poignant statistics indicates that less than 15% of Indian startups have one or more female founders.

Google seeks to break the low representation by providing sufficient encouragement and capacity building for women entrepreneurs. Applications for the Google for Startups Accelerator-India Women Founders program will continue till July 10, 2022. It will prove to be another major intervention by the search engine giant in improving gender balance in Indian startups.

Xiaomi 12 Ultra key specs tipped: SD8+ Gen 1, 67W fast charging & more

The Xiaomi 12 Ultra is a long-rumored device that was initially expected to release alongside the Xiaomi 12 and 12 Pro. After months of weight, we can finally expect the device to debut soon as it was recently spotted on China’s 3C certification website.

Now, ahead of its launch, tipster Yogesh Brar has revealed the key specifications of the upcoming Xiaomi flagship. Starting off with the display, the device will house a 6.7-inch Quad HD+ AMOLED panel which will come with LTPO 2.0 technology and a 120Hz refresh rate.

Under the hood, the smartphone is said to house the recently announced Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset. This new chipset is expected to provide better performance than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset as it is manufactured on TSMC’s 4nm node.

The tipster informs that the device will come with 8GB and 12GB LPDDR5 RAM options along with 256GB and 512GB UFS 3.1 storage options. For optics, we can expect a triple camera setup on the rear comprising of a 50-megapixel primary sensor (with OIS), paired with a 48-megapixel ultrawide lens, and a 48-megapixel periscopic telephoto camera with 5x optical zoom. Other than that, the back will house a ToF sensor and a laser autofocus sensor. On the front, we can expect a 20-megapixel selfie snapper.

Apart from that, the device will feature a respectable 4,800mAh battery pack with 67W wired fast charging and 50W wireless fast charging. The fast-charging numbers of the device seem quite odd as the Xiaomi 12 Pro already offers 120W fast charging. We expect the confusion in this situation to clear up as the device visits more certification sites, so stay tuned for more.
