Motorola is gearing up to launch a new Edge 30 series smartphone soon. We had recently reported on the Edge 30 being spotted on various certification websites, and now, the handset has also surfaced on NBTC with support for 5G networking.
Previously, we had reported on the device receiving certification on various websites like TDRA database, Wi-Fi Alliance, EEC, and even GeekBench. And now, the Moto phone with the model number XT2203-1 has been listed on the NBTC certification website as well (Via MySmartPrice). Looking at this listing, we can see that the device is manufactured in the United States and is confirmed to support GSM, WCDMA LTE, and NR networks.
This basically confirms that the smartphone will arrive with support for 5G networking, similar to the previously launched Edge 30 Pro. Unfortunately, the listing does not reveal any other finer details regarding this device apart from this information. Although, as per previous reports, we do have some speculations to go on. The Edge 30 is expected to run the Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G Plus processor and will boot Android 12 OS out of the box. This chipset will be paired with 8GB of LPPDDR4X RAM and 128GB of UFS 3.1 storage.

On the front, it may sport a 6.7 inch FHD+ POLED display with a 32 megapixel selfie shooter and 144Hz refresh rate. Meanwhile, the rear could feature a 108 megapixel primary camera, that is paired with a 16 megapixel ultra wide angle lens, a macro sensor, and even an 8 megapixel 3x telephoto sensor as well with OIS support. Under the hood, the device is rumored to be powered by a 4,000mAh battery pack that supports 30W fast charging. Keep in mind that this is still speculation, so take these specifications with a pinch of salt for now and stay tuned for more updates.

Foxconn, the Taiwanese contract manufacturer best known for manufacturing Apple’s iPhone, entered the electric vehicles market in 2020 and last year, the company unveiled three cars, including an SUV called Foxtron Model C.
The company had unveiled its electric vehicles on 18th October 2021 at the Foxconn Technology Day and now it is said that the brand will start taking pre-orders for the Model C at this year’s Foxconn Technology Day, i.e. from 18th October.
Further, it is said that once the company starts taking pre-orders for the affordable Foxtron Model C SUV in the fourth quarter of this year, the product will go into mass production sometime in the first half of next year.
The car measures 4.64 meters in length and has a 112.6-inch-long wheelbase. The model will be available as a seven-seater with a 2+3+2 seating layout optionally, which will make it suitable for large families.
The company says that it can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h or 0 to 62 mph in just 3.8 seconds. This acceleration time applies to its performance variant with 400 horsepower, 700 Nm (516 lb.-ft.) of torque, and AWD drivetrain layout.
For those who are unaware, Foxconn set up a joint venture with Taiwan-based automaker Yulon Group and the newly formed entity is called Honghua Advanced while the English name of the company is Foxtron.
The EV platform from the company, called MIH Open Platform, is an open-source solution for OEMs to develop new electric cars. The Taiwanese company is also making its own cars using the same platform and aims to become the Android of EVs for OEMs.
Apple is gearing up to launch the next-generation iPhone 14 series smartphone later this year in the market. Ahead of the launch, some key details about the upcoming iPhone models have leaked online.
Now, a new report coming from South Korea-based The Elec reveals details about the design of the Apple iPhone 15 which will get launched next year.
It is being claimed that the next year’s iPhone 15 will have an OLED display and the Face ID sensors won’t be visible as they will be tucked inside the screen. This means that it will be a true punch-hole display smartphone from Apple.
The report adds that the Cupertino-based technology giant will rely on Samsung’s under-panel camera (UPC) technology that made an appearance with the internal screen of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3.
However, there are reports that the South Korean company is developing a new under-display camera technology along with OTI Lumionics which should debut with the Galaxy Z Fold5 smartphone as the Galaxy Z Fold4 will use the current technology.
The Apple iPhone 15 will only have the front-facing camera visible which will result in the smartphone looking at what the majority of the Android smartphones have been design-wise from the past few years. Also, it is being speculated that this major design change could be only for the iPhone 15 Pro models and not the regular ones.
The upcoming Apple iPhone 14 series is expected to have four models — iPhone 14, 14 Max, 14 Pro, and 14 Pro Max. The Pro models are expected to come with a dual pill-shaped cutout for the front-facing camera and Face ID sensors but the non-Pro models will continue to have a notch on top of the screen.
Further, there are reports which claim that only the iPhone 14 Pro models will come with an Apple A16 Bionic processor while the regular models will continue using the A15 processor while there will also be differences in terms of the memory technology.
The flagship killer segment became a battle between phones powered by the latest high-end MediaTek chipsets. MediaTek already released three flagship SoCs this year: the Dimensity 9000, the Dimensity 8100, and the Dimensity 8000, while Qualcomm has just one single high-end mobile platform for 2022. The Redmi K50 and the Realme GT Neo 3 are the world’s first phones with the Dimensity 8100 mobile platform: a chipset that can be compared to the Snapdragon 888. Thanks to the presence of this chipset and a few other interesting specifications, these devices carry very good price tags. But which one is the best for your needs? This comparison will let you find out.

Design
The Realme GT Neo 3 has the most original design, at least in the Le Mans Blue and Silverstone color variants. These color options come with a double racing stripe letting this phone look like a sports car just like the predecessors GT and GT Neo2. Thanks to this solution, this device is perfect for young people and gaming lovers. Besides being more catchy, the Realme GT Neo 3 is also thinner and lighter than the Redmi K50. And it is slightly more compact thanks to its narrower bezels around the display. It is the first Realme phone with a centrally-placed punch hole. On the other hand, the Redmi K50 is better in terms of build quality: it has a glass back, a front glass protected by Gorilla Glass Victus, and the IP53 certification making it dust resistant and splash resistant.
Display
Each of these two displays has its pro and cons, but they are both high-end displays. The Redmi K50 comes with a higher resolution: it has a Quad HD+ panel (1440 x 3200 pixels) and it adds Dolby Vision support. On the other hand, the Realme GT Neo 3 is able to show up to one billion colors, but with a lower Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels and without Dolby Vision. Both the handsets sport OLED displays with a 120 Hz refresh rate and the HDR10+ certification, but the GT Neo 3 is the only one with an in-display fingerprint reader, while the Redmi K50 has a side-mounted biometric sensor. In both cases, you get good stereo speakers.
Specs & Software
As already mentioned, both Redmi K50 and Realme GT Neo 3 are powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8100 chipset paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage. The performances they can provide are simply amazing and they can be used to play any game with great frame rate and stability. There is no winner if we talk about the hardware departments. Both the phones run Android 12 with highly customized user interfaces on top. They do not feature expandable storage and they do not have an audio jack.
Camera
The Realme GT Neo 3 wins the camera comparison. Its rear camera setup is composed of a 50 MP Sony IMX766 main camera (including OIS), an 8 MP ultrawide lens, and a 2 MP macro camera. The Redmi K50 is still a good camera phone with its 48 MP main camera, OIS, an 8 MP ultrawide camera, and a 2 MP macro lens, but it does not reach the performance provided by the Sony IMX766 found on the Realme flagship.
The Redmi K50 has the biggest battery with a capacity of 5500 mAh and it is able to provide a longer battery life. On the other hand, the Realme GT Neo 3 charges faster thanks to its 150W fast charging technology: the fastest commercial technology for wired charging. The GT Neo 3 also comes in a variant with a 5000 mAh battery and 80W fast charging.
Price
The starting price of the Redmi K50 in China si €340/$375, while you need just €290/$320 to purchase the base variant of the Realme GT Neo 3. While the Redmi flagship offers a higher display resolution and bigger battery, the Realme GT Neo 3 offers one billion colors, a better main camera, and faster charging. The GT Neo 3 wins the comparison, at least on the paper.
Last month, we reported on numerous Google Pixel 6 users facing issues with their smartphone’s WiFi. The search giant officially confirmed the issue later that month and stated that they are working on a fix that will arrive with the march update.
Now, the update has been made available to Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro users which brings along the March feature drop, Android 12L, the March security patch, and many bug fixes. In a tweet, Mishaal Rahman had listed all the features that were coming to the Pixel 6 devices with the March feature drop, and now, the update is finally rolling out to users after being delayed for two weeks.
The changelog for the March update is quite long, but it notably mentions fixing the notorious WiFi bug on the Pixel 6 devices.
For those unaware, Pixel 6 users have been facing troubles with Wi-Fi, like not being able to turn it on, in the first half of this month. The issue began appearing after people updated their devices to the second February update that was released previously. And now, the brand has stated that they are working on a fix, and users can see a software update rolling out sometime in March 2022.
Additionally, the phones are also gaining support for Verizon’s 5G C-Band network, which gives the devices access to the full power of the 5G Ultra-Wideband (UEB). However, this is a feature that’s specific for US users only.

Swedish startup Stillride has developed a cutting-edge technology that uses recyclable steel to produce a lightweight and durable frame for electric scooters. The Stillride technology yields steel that is called industrial origami and is currently used in the production of the Stillride Sport Utility Scooter One (SUS1) that will grace the European market from autumn 2022.
Stillride is a Swedish design and technology startup that opened shop in 2019. It says the industrial origami method of producing the structure and chassis of electric scooters minimizes waste, reduces labor costs, and results in a less severe environmental impact. The company’s mission is to rethink how electric mobility products are manufactured using cutting-edge technology including robotics, design, and steelwork. The Stillride proprietary industrial origami method is called Stillfold and it involves using the origami technique to fold the recyclable steel to the form desired for an e-scooter.
The SUS1 is unlike a traditional e-scooter and it is constructed with folding sheets of stainless steel over curves. A tubular frame and plastic body are some of the core parts of a traditional scooter. The SUS1 is aesthetically neat, durable, and smooth, and much of its structure is created by robots. The SUS1 has a top speed of 100km/h (62mph) and a range of 119km (74 miles) on a single charge.
Stillride is planning to fine-tune its technology and scale up the production of the SUS1 while also creating the template for other e-scooter models. It is working on a production process that allows the steel sheets to be flat-packed and transported to other plants across Europe for folding and fitting with the necessary hub motor and battery packs. No pricing details are available for the SUS1 at this time but the prospects of the Stillfold technology are great.

Zomato is aiming to deliver food to its customers in 10 minutes. This new model of instant delivery will be first tested in Gurugram from April.
Deepinder Goyal, Co-founder, Zomato said in a blog post, “After becoming a frequent customer of Blinkit (backed by Zomato), I started feeling that the 30-minute average delivery time by Zomato is too slow, and will soon have to become obsolete.
The company announced “Zomato instant” which will guarantee 10 minute delivery of 20-30 bestseller dishes from restaurants around your area. The delivery system will work by relying on a dense network of finishing stations (delivery hubs). The model follows in the footsteps of the dark store model implemented by quick commerce startups such as Zepto, Blinkit, and even Swiggy.
Each finishing station will have approximately 20-30 dishes based on the demand and preferences of customers in the area. Zomato will be using the existing data of 1.35 billion orders to help figure out the bestseller dishes in a particular area. Zomato will use sophisticated dish-level demand prediction algorithms and in-station robotics at each warehouse to ensure quick deliveries.
Goyal said that “The fulfillment of our quick delivery promise relies on a dense finishing stations’ network, which is located in close proximity to high-demand customer neighborhoods. Sophisticated dish-level demand prediction algorithms and future-ready in-station robotics are employed to ensure that your food is sterile, fresh, and hot at the time it is picked by the delivery partner.”
On the question of safety of its delivery partners, Deepinder Goyal said, “That Zomato would not compromise the safety of delivery partners, and partners won’t be pressurized to fulfill Zomato’s 10-minute delivery promise.”
Goyal also added, “Before we even talk about this, we will start with a clarification – to fulfill our quick delivery promise, we do not put any pressure on delivery partners to deliver food faster. Nor do we penalize delivery partners for late deliveries. The delivery partners are not informed of the promised time of delivery. Time optimization does not happen on the road, and does not put any lives at risk.”
This new delivery system will be a revolutionary change and would reduce the price for the customers by almost 50 percent.
Earlier this month, Carl Pei’s Nothing revealed that the brand will be holding “The Truth” keynote event on March 23 where it will unveil new products and their first smartphone, which is expected to be the showstopper of the event. So let’s take a look at what we know so far about the upcoming smartphone.
Surprisingly, the company has been able to keep the upcoming smartphone under lock and key leaking almost no information. However, Nothing teased a transparent frame earlier this month which is most likely a hint towards the transparent back panel of the upcoming device.
As we know, the company’s debut product and their only one to date is the Nothing Ear (1) TWS earphones featuring a transparent design which made it an instant hit among the younger consumer base. The company’s first smartphone dubbed the Nothing Phone (1) is also expected to follow the same design philosophy giving it a transparent back panel which will likely show off some of the components inside the smartphone.
The Nothing Phone (1) is also teased to be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset, however, it is unclear if the chipset in the smartphone will be a mid-ranger like the Snapdragon 778G or something more flagship tier like the Snapdragon 888 or even the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. One thing is for certain the device will feature an Android-based operating system which was also teased by some cryptic tweet exchange that took place between Nothing’s CEO Carl Pie and Android’s official Twitter handle.
Other than that, Carl Pei was spotted with is believed to be a prototype model of the Nothing Phone (1). It isn’t very clear from the leaked image what the smartphone looks like but it reveals a black color for the back panel and a circular camera module with an LED flash.
The smartphone is not the only new Nothing device that is expected to debut at “The Truth” launch event as rumors about the brand working on a total of five new products have been making the rounds online. These include a power bank which could be named Nothing Power (1) and the brand’s first as well as a new wireless earphone offering from the brand. The new wireless earphones can be the second generation Nothing Ear TWS earbuds.
