Samsung has been one of the leading smartphone brands when it comes to foldable smartphones and with being an early entrant, it basically created a new category of products in the market.
The early bet from the South Korean giant appears to have been paid off given that the company is now dominating the foldable smartphones market.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3
A new report from analytics firm Omdia reveals that Samsung accounted for more than 61 percent of the market share for the shipment of foldable smartphones in the year 2021. It also shared that out of the top 11 foldable devices available in the market, five of them come from Samsung.
The report goes on to add that the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 was the most popular foldable smartphone, having shipped around 4.6 million units. This is quite an achievement for the South Korean-based technology giant as it has managed to increase shipments from 1.1 million units of Galaxy Z Flip in 2020.
Apart from making some minor but important changes to the Galaxy Z Flip 3 smartphone after learnings from its predecessor, the company also priced it significantly lower than its predecessor, nearly $400 cheaper, which helped boost its sales.
On the other hand, the company also slashed the price of the Galaxy Z Fold 3 by $200 compared to its predecessor, which took the price of the device to $1,799, leading to a huge increase in shipments from 700,000 units in 2020 to 2.5 million units in 2021.
The Omdia report adds that the combined shipments of the Galaxy Z Flip 3 and Galaxy Z Fold 3 smartphones account for 7.1 million units, which is over 61 percent of the total number of phones delivered. It is being speculated that this year, Samsung’s devices could account for over 70% of the foldable smartphone market globally.
Sony has announced that the company has signed an agreement for the acquisition of Haven Studios but financial details about the transaction remain unknown.
The development comes after Haven Studios and Sony had been in a partnership for over a year and after the acquisition, Haven will be one of the first for PlayStation Studios.
Haven Studios was founded by Jade Raymond, co-creator of Assassin’s Creed and former head of Stadia Games and Entertainment. This new gaming studio was founded by Raymond in March last year.
Although it was an independent company, it was backed by Sony, and the first project was said to be a new IP for PlayStation. Details about that first game remain undisclosed but Jade Raymond says that the team has “made amazing progress.”
Commenting about the acquisition, Hermen Hulst, head of PlayStation Studios, said: “We began working with Jade and her team in early 2021 when they were on the brink of announcing the formation of Haven Studios. From their first pitch, we were inspired by Haven’s vision for creating a modern multiplayer experience that brings gamers together in positive and meaningful ways. We were confident in their creative and technical expertise to deliver on such an ambitious project and were thrilled to invest in their journey developing a new, original IP for PlayStation.”
The acquisition of Haven Studios also means that Sony now has a team of game developers in Canada. For those who are unaware, Canada is one of the biggest producers of AAA games in the world and most major games companies have a presence in the country.
Apple has been launching a lot of Mac devices lately as the company is transitioning to using its own Apple Silicon chips instead of Intel processors. After launching the MacBook laptops powered by the M1 chip a couple of years back, it is now time for a refresh.
The Cupertino-based technology giant was reported to announce a new MacBook Air powered by the M2 chipset at its March event that took place a few days ago. That didn’t happen and now there’s an update about when the device could go official.
As per the latest report, the new Apple MacBook Air has been delayed and is now expected to officially launch in the second half of this year. Mark Gurman of Bloomberg claims in the Power On newsletter that Apple planned to launch its new MacBook Air with “an all-new design, MagSafe, the M2 chip, and more” at the end of 2021 or in early 2022, but this timeframe has now slipped to the second half of 2022.
Not only that, but he also claims that the new 14-inch and 16-inch models of the MacBook Pro will now get launched next year, i.e. in 2023, and will likely be powered by the M2 Pro or M2 Max processors.
Another report from analyst Ming-Chi Kuo claims that Apple could start mass production of the new MacBook Air in the late second quarter or early third quarter. This is pretty much in line with the launch happening in the second half of this year.
To sum up, the new MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models with a 13-inch display are expected to launch in H2 2022 and should go on sale soon after getting announced. They are most likely to be powered by the next-generation Apple Silicon’s M2 chipset.
The company is also expected to launch a new Mac Mini powered by the M2 processor along with the new MacBook models. In that case, it would mean that the Mac lineup from the company has an upgrade cycle of two years given that the M1-powered Mac devices were first announced in 2020 and new models are set to launch this year.
After two years from the latest model from the lineup, Apple just launched its new affordable iPhone: the iPhone SE 2022. And it is even the most affordable last-generation Apple phone. After its launch, a lot of people are wondering whether or not it is the best affordable compact flagship or you can get something better with similar prices. This year, the main Chinese smartphone manufacturer came up with a compact flagship as well. We are talking about Xiaomi and the vanilla Xiaomi 12: it is not as compact as the iPhone, but its display diagonal is below-average and the phone is very powerful just like the iPhone SE 2022. In this article, we decided to compare the latest Apple affordable phone to the Xiaomi 12 in order to understand which one offers the highest value for money depending on your personal needs.

Design
The design of the iPhone SE 2022 is very outdated: it has an amazing build quality, but it looks like the old iPhone 8 with its thick bezels and the presence of the Touch ID. On the other hand, it is one of the most compact phones out there; it could be more compact without those big bezels, but it remains one of the most compact handsets thanks to its small display. Coming back to the build quality, the iPhone SE 2022 has the same Ceramic Shield glass as the iPhone 13 series and it is even water resistant thanks to the IP67 certification. But the Xiaomi 12 is the handset with the most suggestive design: it has very narrow bezels around the display, as well as a punch-hole panel protected by Gorilla Glass Victus. It is bigger in terms of dimensions and it is not water resistant, but it is more beautiful.
Display
The Xiaomi 12 is the device with the most advanced display. It is an AMOLED panel with one billion colors, a diagonal of 6.28 inches, a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels, a 120 Hz refresh rate, the HDR10+ certification, and Dolby Vision. Besides having a higher resolution, it provides a better color reproduction if compared to the LCD display of the iPhone. But the latter is not disappointing in terms of color accuracy. The Xiaomi 12 comes with an in-display fingerprint reader, while the iPhone has a Touch ID under its panel, on the lower bezel. In both cases, you get good stereo speakers but no audio jack.
Specs & Software
The iPhone SE 2022 is affordable but it is powered by the same Apple A15 Bionic mobile platform as the iPhone 13 Pro Max. This processor gives it amazing performances in every scenario. It comes with a lower amount of RAM than the iPhone 13 lineup, but the optimization of the iOS operating system makes its performance better than almost every Android phone. However, the Xiaomi 12 is still an amazing flagship thanks to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 mobile platform (the best one by Qualcomm). The iPhone runs iOS 15.4 out of the box, while the Xiaomi flagship comes with Android 12 and MIUI 13.
Camera
If you are looking for the best cameras, then go for the Xiaomi 12 without thinking twice. It has three sensors on the rear side, including the main one with a 50 MP resolution, OIS, and phase detection autofocus. Then there is a 13 MP ultrawide camera and a 5 MP telephoto macro camera. The iPhone SE 2022 has a single 12 MP camera so its photographic experience is not so versatile, but photos still look great.
The Xiaomi 12 has a much bigger 4500 mAh battery than the 2018 mAh unit found on the iPhone SE 2022, that is why its battery life is way longer on a single charge. Further, it features 67W fast charging and 50W wireless charging, providing way faster charging speeds.
Price
In the European market, Xiaomi 12 starts from €799/$880, while the iPhone SE 2022 costs €529 in the base 64 GB configuration ($429 in the U.S. market). The Xiaomi 12 is definitely a better phone thanks to its superior display, cameras, and battery. But the iPhone comes with amazing performance and higher build quality. Further, it is more compact. Which one would you pick?

There have been several stories of the lifesaving capability of the Apple Watch, especially in the United States and Europe. Yet another story has now been logged for the Apple Watch – and it happened in India. The incident which was related to a dentist drew appreciation from the man’s family, as well as an exciting and rare response from Apple CEO Tim Cook.
The fall detection feature in the Apple Watch has proved to be a revolutionary feature on the device that is proving critical in saving the lives of users of the smartwatch. But other features are also proving their relevance as potential lifesavers.
In the case of the Indian dentist, it was the ECG function that helped to save the man. A dentist in Haryana, India, named Nitesh Chopra was reported to have felt discomfort in his chest which led him to deploy the ECG function in his Apple Watch Series 6. The results of the ECG scan led Nitesh to consult a doctor. The subsequent medical analysis revealed that Nitesh had a blocked artery. He subsequently underwent treatment for the life-threatening condition. Interestingly, the ECG conducted by the health facility showed a strikingly similar result from that of the Apple Watch.
Early detection of such potentially life-threatening conditions is critical in the eventual treatment and recovery of patients, and Nitesh is thankful to Apple for the help his Apple Watch provided at an early stage of the health condition. The dentist, according to the reports, said he initially used his Apple Watch as a fashion accessory and he could not imagine that one day it will save his life. After the incident, Nitesh’s wife, Neha sent a thank you email to Apple CEO Tim Cook for saving her husband’s life. Cook responded by expressing his happiness that the couple sought clinical evaluation and received the desired care. He also thanked them for sharing their story with Apple.

Back in 2021, Infinix announced its 160W fast charging solution for its concept phone. However, that fast charging technology was never really seen in the commercial phones from Infinix. It appears that the company isn’t stopping at 160W, as now a new Infinix power adapter has appeared online with a whopping 180W charging speed.
The tipster Piyush Bhasarkar has spotted the listing of a new Infinix power adapter. The charger has bagged TUV Rheinland certification and it has the model number U1800XEA. It has a 20V and a 9.0A charging speed, which translates to a whopping 180W max fast charging.
So far, Infinix hasn’t revealed details of any of its upcoming phones with this 180W fast charging support, nor have we seen any leaks circulating about this.
It appears that the company has plans to announce this fast solution soon. It won’t likely be for commercial usage, since we still haven’t seen the 160W fast charging from the brand in any of its phones on the market.
In related news, other brands like OnePlus, Realme, and Oppo have commercialized the 160W GaN charging solution. However, the chargers support a max of 160W GaN head with an actual charging speed of 150W. A OnePlus phone with the model number PGKM10 was recently spotted on 3C with this 160W charging support.

POCO unveiled the F3 series in March last year with flagship-level specs. Now, it’s time for the successor POCO F4 to arrive in the market. So far, we have learned only a few details about the phone and rumors reveal that it will be a Redmi rebranded device. The tipster Mukul Sharma has now revealed some more details of the smartphone taking us closer to the launch.
[Exclusive] Serial production of the POCO F4 has begun in various European and Eurasian regions. Seems like the device is launching pretty soon now.#POCO#POCOF4
According to the tipster, the POCO F4’s serial production has begun in European and Eurasian regions. This confirms that the global launch is soon. Having said that, the POCO F3 series was first released in the global market. So we can expect the POCO F4 series to launch in the global market initially, and later it is expected to arrive in the Indian market.
Redmi K40S
Earlier leaks have revealed that the upcoming POCO F4 will be the Redmi K40S rebranded version. The smartphone was recently spotted on certification sites with the model number 22021211RG. The device was seen with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 SoC paired with 8GB of RAM. The phone scored 1028 single-core points and 3391 multi-core points on the Geekbench 5 certification. The phone will boot on Android 12 out of the box, with MIUI 13 on top of it.
The device was spotted with a 4,400mAh battery supporting a 67W fast charging technology. This will be an improvement over the 33W fast charging support on the predecessor device.
The POCO F4 is tipped to come with a 6.3-inch FHD+ AMOLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate. It is expected to come with a triple camera system with a 50MP main lens, a 13MP ultra-wide, and a 5MP telemacro sensor. Upfront, it could have a 32MP unit for selfies.
Last month at Mobile World Congress 2022, Oppo revealed their latest 240W SuperVOOC fast charging tech along with 150W fast charging which will soon debut on a OnePlus device. The brand also unveiled some details about their Battery Health Engine which is responsible for keeping the battery healthy and safe while charging over such insane speeds in the long run.
Now, in a press release, Oppo has shared the results of the latest lab tests of their fast charging technology in tandem with the Battery Health Engine which is already in use on the Oppo Find X5 Pro. The test results reveal even after 1,600 charging cycles the battery performs at 80% of its original capacity. Each cycle consists of charging a completely dead battery to 100% and then draining it back down to 0% again.
To put this into perspective, suppose that you are a power user using the Oppo Find X5 which features a 5000mAh battery with 80W SuperVOOC fast charging and manage to drain the battery completely through a days’ use. After using the device for 4 years and 4 months, you will still have 80% battery health i.e. just 20% battery degradation.
This ability to prolonge the battery life while using high-speed fast charging gives Oppo the upper hand over its competition as brands using conventional fast charging methods see their battery life reduced to 80% of its capacity in just 800 charging cycles.
Oppo says, “As the leader of charging technology, OPPO knows that the future development of fast charging can not only stop at high power – it should also consider aspects such as safety, portability, compatibility, and battery lifespan. Here at OPPO, the company is taking big steps towards upgrading the world of smartphone charging to completely revolutionize the user experience of smartphones while contributing to the future sustainability of lithium battery technologies.”
The brand’s latest 240W fast charging is not quite ready yet, but with a claim of 9 minutes to completely charge a 4500mAh battery, it will be interesting to see if the claims regarding battery health still stand after the 240W SuperVOOC charging is officially launched.

This is different from the Note 11E 5G’s 18W fast charging support. It appears that although the new phone will be a rebadged model of the Note 11E 5G, it will have some changes in the specs sheet.

As of now, there are no other details about the smartphone, but previously, the phone bagged the Indian BIS certification. It confirmed that the India launch will take place sooner.
If the Redmi 10 Prime+ 5G happens to be a rebadged model, we expect it to have a 6.58-inch LCD display. It could have a 90Hz refresh rate and Full-HD+ resolution.
We can expect a MediaTek Dimensity 700 SoC and up to 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. The Note 11E 5G in China has a 5,000mAh battery, so we can expect the same inside the Redmi 10 Prime+ 5G. The smartphone may come with a 50MP dual-camera setup and a 5MP selfie snapper.
Redmi hasn’t revealed any details of the phone yet, but we expect the company to start teasing the phone’s launch in the forthcoming weeks.
Last week, Oppo India teased the upcoming launch of the Enco Air 2 TWS earbuds in the country which debuted earlier this year in China. The company has now listed the Enco Air 2 earbuds on its official site revealing its highlight features and has also hinted at the pricing of the product.
According to a MySmartPrice report, the Enco Air 2 is listed on Oppo India’s official website with a price tag of Rs. 9,999 ($131) however, the product is believed to offer a lower price on release as part of initial promotions. Additionally, the earbuds were also listed on Flipkart with a March 24 launch date, but the landing page has since been pulled down from the site. The brand had previously teased a March 23 launch date for the earbuds, so it is likely that the earphones will debut on March 23 and will go on sale starting March 24 at 12 PM.
OPPO Enco Air 2 specs and features
The design of the new OPPO Enco Air 2 earphones is quite similar to the last-generation Enco Air and comes with a translucent jelly-like case. The exterior design of the buds also remains unchanged for the most part.
It packs 13.4mm composite titanium-plated drivers, featuring OPPO’s new Enco Live tuning. The company has stated that the Enco Air 2 has been tuned by the company’s Bluray technology R&D expert team to make the sound more balanced to meet the high sound quality requirements of the users.
The presence of a bass duct in the Enco Air 2 further enhances the bass performance and enables the TWS earbuds to offer two new stereo sound effects, namely “pulsing bass” and “melodious vocal”.
As for the battery life, the OPPO Enco Air 2 can deliver up to 24 hours battery backup and is equipped with Bluetooth 5.2 for connectivity. The earphones also offer features like low latency mode for gaming, call noise reduction function, and have been improved upon issues such as synchronization issues, interference, and disconnection problems.
