Earlier this week, Apple unveiled a few new devices at a launch event, including the third-generation iPhone SE. The smartphone comes in improved specifications and features compared to its predecessor.
Among the enhancements for the smartphone, Apple has also increased the memory of the device, which the company has not yet advertised.
The new Apple iPhone SE now comes packed with 4GB RAM, which is more than 3GB RAM that the company offers in the second-generation model. This was confirmed by MacRumors with information sourced from strings within the Xcode 13.3 Release Candidate that Apple released following the launch event.
With the increased memory on the device, there should a noticeable performance improvement. More applications, as well as webpages in Safari, can now remain active in the background. Also, some tasks like photo and video editing can also benefit from this.
The Apple iPhone SE 3 features the same 4.7-inch display and keeps the home button with Touch ID, similar to its predecessor. However, it now packs an A15 Bionic processor which also supports 5G connectivity. In the camera department, the smartphone features a 12-megapixel camera sensor with a few new features.
The smartphone will be available for pre-order from 11th March in the United States, Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Japan, the United Kingdom, and more than 30 other countries and regions. The sale of the device will begin from 18th March.
Earlier last month, Samsung launched its new flagship series which includes the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra. The Ultra variant this year is totally different not only from its predecessor but even from the other variants of the same series. And it comes with very nice productivity features. This month, OPPO launched its new flagships as well and the most powerful model is the OPPO Find X5 Pro. Is the new OPPO flagship able to compete with the expensive Galaxy S22 Ultra or this year you would better go for the first smartphone manufacturer in the global market? This comparison between their specifications will hopefully tell you the answer.

Design
This year OPPO released one of the most beautiful and aesthetically innovative phones ever made. The OPPO Find X5 Pro is built with a ceramic body in both its main color variants: Ceramic White and Glaze Black. There is also a third color option exclusively sold in China with a blue leather back. The frame is made of aluminum and the front glass is protected by Gorilla Glass Victus. It wins the design comparison not only due to its amazing materials but also because of its great look. But the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra is still a beautiful handset thanks to a curved glass body and the absence of a camera isle. Both the phones are waterproof with the IP68 certification.
Display
When it comes to the display quality, OPPO Find X5 Pro and Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra are very close to each other. They have LTPO AMOLED displays with one billion colors, an adaptive refresh rate from 1 to 120 Hz, and a Quad HD+ resolution of 1440p. While the differences in terms of image quality are just marginal, the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra sports a better fingerprint scanner under the display (an ultrasonic sensor instead of an optical one) and it supports the S Pen for handwriting and drawing, very useful for productivity. Note that the display of the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra is slightly wider with a diagonal of 6.8 inches. Both the phones feature good stereo speakers but they do not have a headphone jack.
Specs & Software
These two phones are not so distant even in terms of hardware. In select markets, the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 mobile platform paired with up to 12 GB of RAM just like the OPPO Find X5 Pro. In the remaining markets, it has a weaker Samsung Exynos 2200 mobile platform: the first chipset with an AMD GPU, but the performance is inferior to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. Note that Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra sports up to 1 TB of internal storage, while its rival stops at 512 GB in China and 256 GB globally. Both the phones run Android 12 out of the box.
Camera
Even on the camera side, these phones are very close. It is a hard fight when it comes to the main cameras, while we know for sure that Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra has better zoom capabilities thanks to its periscope camera. On the other hand, the OPPO Find X5 Pro shoots better ultrawide photos thanks to its 50 MP ultrawide camera. Last but not least, it has a dedicated NPU, the MariSilicon X, improving the image quality in low light conditions.
Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra and OPPO Find X5 Pro are equipped with 5000 mAh batteries and their battery life is similar. But the charging speeds are very different because OPPO Find X5 Pro features 80W fast charging and 50W wireless charging, while the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra stops at 45W and 15W, respectively.
Price
You need a bit less than €1300/$1400 to purchase the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra and the OPPO Find X5 Pro. Which one is the best? It depends on your needs: the Galaxy S22 Ultra has the S Pen and great zoom capabilities, while the OPPO Find X5 Pro provides better materials, better ultrawide shots, a dedicated NPU for photography, and faster charging speeds. Make your choice.
Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra vs OPPO Find X5 Pro: PRO and CONS
BGMI devs have just put out a new blog post addressing many of the frequently asked questions and queries from players in the ‘We Heard You’ feedback section. In this installment, the devs have talked about matters concerning the BGMI emulator, redeem codes, 90 FPS support for more devices, bonus challenge, and new character voucher event. So let’s take a look at these issues in detail.
Firstly, the devs have answered the long-standing question of if BGMI will get support for an official emulator version of the game. As we know, the now-banned PUBG Mobile has an official emulator version with Tencent‘s Gameloop emulator, however, players of BGMI don’t have an official emulator and usually make do with the Bluestacks emulator which is not optimized for the game.
The devs have stated that emulators make it easier to modify game files and partake in illegal activities such as the use of cheats, mods, or any other application which can give an unfair advantage. So currently, they are not keen on rolling out the emulator version. So it looks like there won’t be an official optimized emulator for BGMI anytime soon.
On questions about 90 FPS compatibility for other devices, the devs stated that they are currently testing multiple devices to provide 90 FPS support on them. As it stands, a lot of devices currently support 90 FPS performance but in order to ensure a smooth experience across the board – the devs will require extensive testing on a number of devices.
Other than that, the devs have informed us that they are in the process of internally reviewing the redeem code feature on their official website and will soon be launching events where players will be able to use it to redeem codes for in-game rewards.
Carl Pei’s Nothing last year launched its first product – the Nothing Ear (1) and the set of wireless earbuds was an instant hit. The company has since made some moves that signaled plans to expand its product offering to include smartphones and other smart products. Last year, a partnership with Qualcomm was announced and only a few days back, Nothing CEO Carl Pei and Qualcomm’s CEO, Cristiano Amon, were spotted admiring a smartphone believed to be the brand’s first smartphone in the works.
Nothing has now officially announced that it would hold an event on March 23 at 14:00 GMT and a countdown is already running on its official website. The event tagged “The Truth” will see the brand release its product roadmap for the year 2022. Well, the company did not specifically reveal what it would unveil on that day but we suspect the brand’s first smartphone that Pei was spotted showing off to Cristiano Amon a few days back.
The only clue that can be spotted on the countdown banner on Nothing’s website is the Snapdragon logo tucked into the bottom left corner. This could be a hint that the company will indeed by unveiling its first smartphone on that day.
At the moment, nothing is known about Nothing’s upcoming smartphone except that it will pack a Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset. We expect more details to emerge by way of teasers as the days go by.
Sony Xperia 1 IV 5G’s launch seems near as the smartphone was recently spotted in leaks and the device’s renders were also surfaced. Now, the Xperia 1 IV 5G’s concept images have been outed, courtesy of LetsGoDigital.
The images show the smartphone’s front as well as the back profile. The device sports a flat-screen panel with no notch. It has the traditional bezels and a Sony standard tall design. If we go by the leaks, the display on the Xperia 1 IV 5G is a 6.5-inch panel with a 21:9 aspect ratio. It has a 120Hz refresh rate and a 4K resolution. The screen has Gorilla Glass Victus protection and HDR support.
At the back, the smartphone sports a vertical camera setup with three lenses. It also has an LED flash below the first two lenses. The cameras here are expected to be ZEISS branded. There are no details of the megapixel counts of these sensors. To recall, the predecessor also had three sensors at the back. It has an ultra-wide and a telephoto lens as the secondary and tertiary sensors. We can expect the same on the Xperia 1 IV.
The smartphone has a power button on the right spine, which is touted to double up as a side-mounted fingerprint reader. It is expected to come with an IP68 rating. Since it will be a flagship offering, it is expected to come with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC paired with 12GB of RAM and up to 512GB of storage.
As per leaks, the phone could pack a 5,000mAh battery and may have a 45W fast charging support. Just like the predecessor, the Xperia 1 IV is also expected to come with a 3.5mm headphone jack and a USB Type-C port. The phone will boot on Android 12 OS out of the box.
The smartphone market has been captured by Apple once again and this time iPhone models have dominated 7 positions among the top 10 best-selling smartphones of 2021.
According to a new report by Counterpoint Research, the Apple iPhone 12 was the best-selling smartphone of the year 2021. People have preferred this reasonably priced non-Pro high-ender with a normal screen size in comparison to other flagship models with a total world sale of 2.9 percent.
Apple iPhone 12
On the second spot is the iPhone 12 Pro Max accounting for 2.2% of global smartphone sales in 2021. On the third position is the vanilla iPhone 13 with a 2.1% share in global sales, and iPhone 12 Pro gets the fourth position with around 2.1% share. Closing out the top five is the iPhone 11, which is still going strong despite now being two generations old.
According to Apple’s recent 1.39 billion estimated smartphone sales, the Cupertino giant may have sold around 40 million units of iPhone 12 models, and 30 million copies of the iPhone 12 Pro Max. Other models on the list like iPhone 13, 12 Pro, and 11 models may have seen sales in the neighborhood of 27 and 29 million units each.
Similar to last year, the list did not feature any Samsung high-end devices but rather the budget-oriented Galaxy A12 kept the company in the sixth position.
Xiaomi took advantage of its low to mid-range models with huge success in markets like China, India, and Asia pacific. Redmi 9A and Redmi 9 featured in the seventh and tenth positions respectively keeping the smartphone maker on the top ten list.
The iPhone SE 2020 also remained a popular choice for customers, enjoying a 1.6% share of the total smartphone sales in 2021. And since Apple has just launched the iPhone SE 2022, we can expect the model to be placed higher on the table for the top-selling phones in 2022.
The iPhone 13 Pro Max comes in at the ninth position in the top ten list edging out the 13 Pro which did not make it in the top 10. This could be due to customers preferring the bigger screen of the Pro Max model, and if this indeed turns out to be true, then this year’s top 10 might look a lot different as Apple is rumored to launch the iPhone 14 Max, which is said to have a screen that will be equal in dimensions to the iPhone 14 Pro Max but will cost less than the iPhone 14 Pro.
After launching the Honor Magic4 flagship series, the company is all set to bring a budget smartphone to the market. The device will be called the Honor X8 4G and it has now passed the Geekbench certification. The certification reveals key details of the device confirming a Snapdragon SoC under the hood.
The Honor X8 4G has the model number TFY-LX3 and it scores 378 points in the single-core department and 1473 points in the multi-core department. The device is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 SoC paired with Adreno 610 GPU. The CPU here has a base frequency of 1.90Ghz. It has 6GB of RAM and boots on Android 11 OS.
Previously, the smartphone was rumored to have three model numbers — TFY-LX2, TFY-LX1, and TFY-LX3. Interestingly, the phone is said to have Google apps and services. As per certifications, the device will come with a 4,000mAh battery and has a 22.5W fast charging support. It will have Bluetooth v5.0 and Wi-Fi support.
Other than this, the Honor X8 4G is expected to come with a 6.7-inch LTPS LCD display with an FHD+ resolution. It will come with a 64MP + 5MP + 2MP + 2MP quad-camera system at the rear and a single 16MP selfie snapper. Leaks reveal a 6GB RAM + 128GB storage variant without the presence of the microSD card slot. The phone will have a side-mounted fingerprint reader and boot on the Android 11 OS.
Xiaomi’s Redmi was expected to launch an entry-level smartphone dubbed Redmi 10C soon in the market. However, there was no launch date. Now, ahead of any announcements, the Redmi 10C was found listed on Nigeria’s Jumia store.
As per the listing, the Redmi 10C is priced at 90,000 Nigerian Naira(roughly 216 US Dollars) for the 4GB RAM + 128GB storage variant. The smartphone is listed in the Graphite Grey shade. It can be purchased directly from the Jumia Nigeria store.
The Redmi 10C sports a hybrid design at the back while featuring the standard water-drop notch screen on the front. It sports a 6.53-inch LCD display and has a modern aspect ratio. Its bezels are fairly noticeable, especially at the bottom.
The device sports a single camera at the front which is a 5MP sensor. Moving to the rear, it has a triple camera system placed in the square-shaped module. The setup goes by a 13MP main lens and two 2MP sensors. The camera island also has LED flash, Redmi branding, and a fingerprint scanner.
Coming to the rest of the specs, the smartphone is powered by an unknown octa-core SoC paired with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. The listing reveals that the phone runs on the old Android 10 version and packs a 5,000mAh battery.
Since Redmi is yet to make an official announcement about the smartphone, we advise our readers to take the above information with a grain of salt.

It hasn’t been that long since Redmi debuted the Note 11 series of smartphones in markets. We recently spotted the Redmi Note 11S 5G on the FCC database which will likely launch soon. However, news has begun to surface of Redmi’s plan to soon debut the Note 12 series.
According to popular Weibo tipster DigitalChatStation, Redmi will focus on the Redmi Note 12 series after it gets done launching the remaining K50 series smartphones. So far, the brand has only debuted the Redmi K50G aka K50 Gaming Edition in the market and is yet to launch the vanilla K50, the K50 Pro, and the K50 Pro plus smartphones.
Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G Global
The tipster states that the Redmi Note 12 series will debut in Q2 2022, meaning between April-June. Considering that we are already in March, we expect that more information about the Note 12 series will start surfacing soon. So far, we know that the Note 12 series carries the codename L16 and has another version codenamed L16U which could be the higher-end device in the series, likely the Redmi Note 12 Pro+.
It will be interesting to see what changes Xiaomi decides to make to the Redmi Note 12 devices compared to the current line of offerings. Maybe a more linear naming scheme around the globe? A Snapdragon 778G SoC instead of a Dimensity 920 in the top-end device? Let us know what specs you want the next-gen Redmi Note devices to come with, and stay tuned for any notable developments on the matter.

According to the previous listing in the IMEI database, the Redmi Nore 11S 5G carries the model number 22031116BG. While the FCC listing has revealed that the device will come with Android 12 based MIUI 13 out of the box. The FCC listing also states that the Redmi Note 11S 5G will be offered in three configurations – 4GB + 64GB, 4GB + 128GB, and 6GB + 128GB.
The FCC documentation also states that the Note 11S 5G is identical to the 21091116AG. For those unaware, the 21091116AG model number belongs to the Redmi Note 11 5G (Chinese model) which is available in India as the Redmi Note 11T 5G and globally as POCO M4 Pro 5G. So we might be looking at a lot of similarities when it comes to the spec sheet between the two.
Redmi Note 11T 5G specifications and features
The device has an FHD+ 6.6-inch IPS LCD display with a 90Hz adaptive refresh rate, 240Hz touch sampling rate, and Gorilla Glass protection. It is equipped with the MediaTek Dimensity 810 5G chipset that’s paired with up to 8GB of LPDDR4x RAM and 128GB of UFS 2.2 storage.

Upfront, there’s a 16-megapixel camera for selfies and video calls. All of the device’s components get their juice from a 5,000mAh battery that supports 33W fast charging. Other non-essential but good-to-have stuff includes an IR blaster and an X-axis linear motor.

According to Smartron’s founder and chairman, Mahesh Lingareddy, the new e-bike is a recipient of international awards, and the basic segment of the e-bike could expand to accommodate the lifestyle and other innovative applications.
The tbike OneX has a multi-modular and multipurpose design and can be used as a multi-utility e-bike focused on ridesharing and logistics delivery markets. Smartron has continued to expand in its operations, delivering the tbikes to far-flung places in Africa, North and South America, as well as countries in Europe and Asia.
Being a full-blown Indian company, Smartron is promoting local content by completely undertaking the design and engineering aspects in India. This approach has eliminated the problems of supply chain logistics challenges. The tbike OneX has the tronx platform which operates in conjunction with the tbike mobile app and tlock, offering a range of customized fleet and rider management opportunities.

There are few details about the global availability and pricing of the OneX at this time.
An early benchmark of the Apple M1 Ultra chipset has just surfaced online. Looking at the results, the company’s latest desktop grade processor showcased an impressive performance, which even rivaled one of the most powerful chips from AMD as well.
The benchmark was shared by @Benchleaks on Twitter and showed off some really great performance. In the multi core result on GeekBench 5, the Cupertino based giant’s top end flagship processor scored a whopping 24,055 points. For reference, the M1 Ultra almost caught up to the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3990X processor. The Apple chipset was just a few percentages behind the Team Red beast.
Keep in mind, that the Threadripper is a 64 core processor. So, its quite surprising to see that the M1 Ultra that was just announced is already rivaling some of the most powerful processors in the market. For those unaware, the M1 Ultra is basically two M1 Max SoCs linked together, in what Apple calls UltraFusion. This essentially doubles the core count of the M1 Max, bringing it to a total of 20 cores. Out of these, 16 cores are high performance while 4 focus on power efficiency.
It doesn’t end there as the M1 Ultra’s GPU cores also hit 64 cores, along with a staggering 128GB of unified memory that runs at an impressive 800GBps. This shows that Apple is no slouch when it comes to desktop processors, and isn’t making chipsets just for thin and light notebooks. The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3990X was only 4.5 percent faster than the M1 Ultra chipset, which only had 20 cores in total. Keep in mind that these are still just synthetic benchmarks, and we will have to wait and see what real live performance and tests show.
POCO India has just shared a new teaser video on Twitter. The company has been active with recent launches of products in the country, and now, the latest teaser hints at the arrival of even more new devices.
Looking at this video, it isn’t clear as to which type of products the Chinese company aims on releasing in India. The caption just states “Coz the mad don’t care!” alongside a “#MadeOfMAD is coming soon”. So its unclear if the upcoming products are just smartphones or any other products. Although, based on recent launches and certifications, the brand has yet to launch the POCO X4 Pro, POCO F4 GT, POCO C4, the Pop Buds, and a POCO Smartwatch in India.
In other words, the teaser might be hinting at the arrival of the new POCO X4 Pro for the Indian market. This model was launched a few weeks ago in the global market, so it may launch in the region with the brand’s Pop Buds TWS earbuds as well. The reason we believe that the new product launch is related to the X4 Pro is due to the recent BIS certification listing.
For those unaware, the smartphone sports a 6.67 inch FHD+ AMOLED panel with 120Hz refresh rate and Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection. Under the hood, it houses a Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 SoC. For photography, it offers a 108 megapixel triple rear camera module and a 16 megapixel punch hole selfie shooter. It is powered by a large 5,000mAh battery pack, which supports 67W fast charging as well. Keep in mind that this is still just speculation so take this report with a pinch of salt.

Around the end of the livestream, the Chinese tech giant teased the launch of the Redmi 10. Apart from the slide that stated that the device will be launching soon, the brand did not reveal any other information regarding the upcoming handset. As of right now, the Redmi 10 has not been spotted on any certification website, although, the Redmi 10C was spotted on FCC and IMEI databases. So, the Redmi 10C global version may be launching in India as tghe Redmi 10 in India.
On the other hand, we had also recently reported on the Redmi 10 Prime 2022 receiving BIS certification. The Redmi 10 2022 had launched in China back in February, and the Prime model in India is rumored to be the rebadged version for India. This might be true considering the Redmi 10 2021 launched in India as the Redmi 10 Prime 2021 last year. Unfortunately, this is still just speculation, so take it with a pinch of salt for now.
Redmi 10C
So, its likely that Xiaomi’s Redmi 10C will be the Redmi 10 in India, since the Redmi 9C had launched in India as the Redmi 9. For those unaware, the Redmi 9 sported a 6.53 inch IPS LCD display with HD+ resolution and a waterdrop notch. Furthermore, it housed a MediaTek G35 processor with up to 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage. The device had a dual rear camera setup with a 13 megapixel primary sensor and a 5 megapixel selfie shooter. It was powered by a large 5,000mAh battery pack as well. We can expect to see various improvements over the previous generations. So stick around for more updates.
