The realme V25 is scheduled to launch tomorrow (March 3) in China. Ahead of that, the brand has been teasing the features of this smartphone for the last few days. Today’s teaser reveals the maximum RAM that will be offered on the phone.
A few days back, Realme confirmed that the upcoming Realme V25 will max at 12GB RAM and 256GB storage. Now, the latest teaser by the company says that users will have an option to expand the RAM up to 19GB via DRE (Dynamic RAM Expansion).
Almost all smartphones from different OEMs now offer virtual RAM feature. Hence, it is not surprising to learn that the forthcoming Realme V25 will also have support for it.
According to the fresh teaser poster, customers of the 12GB RAM model will be able to add 7GB more to the RAM. Hence, the total amount of RAM can reach up to 19GB.

Just a couple of days ago, the iQOO 9 series had been launched in India, which comprised of the base and Pro models. Now, the company has officially began the first open sale for the iQOO 9 and 9 Pro.
Talking about the smartphones first, both the vanilla and higher end version arrive in two storage configurations, namely 8GB + 128GB and 12GB + 256GB. The Chinese smartphone brand’s iQOO 9 is powered by Qualcomm’ Snapdragon 888 SoC, while the Pro version features Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset. Both models feature LPDDR5 memory and UFS 3.1 storage and run on Android 12 based FunTouch OS 12. The base variant sports a 6.56 inch FHD+ AMOLED display with 120Hz and HDR10+ support.
These features are also reflected in the Pro model’s screen, but, it has a larger 6.7 inch curved panel with 1500nits peak brightness and QHD+ resolution.

Huawei’s rotating chairman Guo Ping yesterday during MWC 2022 talked about the company’s plans to continue its globalization strategy and increase strategic investment in underlying technologies. Through the investment, Huawei hopes to enhance its mid- and long-term competitiveness while ensuring sustainable development of the ICT industry.
“We will not withdraw from the global market. For customers who choose us, Huawei will go all out to help them achieve business success,” he stated.
The chairman added that Huawei will adhere to “globalization” and will significantly increase its strategic investment in its pivotal technologies along with working on architecture and software. This, he said, will gradually be reflected in the competitiveness of the company’s products.
The investment also aims to help other companies get closer to or even exceed the Shannon limit, which is the theoretical maximum transfer rate for error-free transmission over a channel.
On the software end, Huawei is building AI-centric full-stack software and a new software ecosystem to meet the sharply rising demand for computing power brought about by the explosive growth of AI.
MWC 2022 is being held in Barcelona, Spain and will last until March 3rd. Huawei’s booth is located in Hall 1H50, Fira Gran Via.
MediaTek has just announced that it has become the leading chip supplier for Android smartphones in the US. This announcement arrives along with the company’s plans for the future of its 5G chips.
This marks a major shift as Qualcomm, an American chipmaker, has been the dominant supplier for semiconductors in the smartphone market. According to an IDC report (Via PCMag), the fourth quarter of last year saw the Taiwanese company acquire a market share of 51 percent in the US for Android smartphone chips. The report adds that the company’s stellar performance can be attributed to its strong sales in smartphones that can cost under 400 US Dollars. This segment was previously dominated by Qualcomm.
On the other hand, MediaTek also announced that it has received millimeter wave certification “with a major US operator” (rumored to be Verizon) and will soon offer mid range millimeter wave smartphones in the US by the second half of this year. Notably, Verizon only offers millimeter wave for its 5G smartphones. So, the company’s new 5G chips would enable best selling mid range devices to also be included into Verizon’s list.
Furthermore, the company has also recently announced the Dimensity 8000 and Dimensity 8100 series of processors that target the mid range segment, as opposed to the Dimensity 9000, which is for premium phones. So, it remains to be seen if its new chips helps increase its market share and widen the gap between MediaTek and Qualcomm.
HUAWEI today confirmed the launch of a new phone in the global market and it’s most likely the nova 9 SE. With a couple of teaser videos, the company gave a sneak peek into its design, revealing just enough to show that the model will have premium looks.
Sleek and thin with ultra-narrow bezels. Dropping you a hint, it's either a new laptop, tablet or smartphone. Take a smart guess! Follow us and stay tuned to find out more.#HUAWEI#NewProductLaunchpic.twitter.com/6lVzrPqxsU
One of the posts says that the upcoming phone will be “sleek and thin with ultra-narrow bezels” while the other says that it will be a product of “sophisticated craftmanship and design.” The teaser videos embedded therein show an oval-shaped camera design and a slim profile.
The HUAWEI nova 9 SE recently bagged certifications from NBTC, EEC, and WiFi Alliance, meaning its launch is now imminent. It is thus extremely likely that the teaser videos show none other than this phone.
Unfortunately, these certifications had barely revealed anything about the device. The only bits disclosed were that it will run EMUI in international markets and HarmonyOS in China and that it will offer dual-band WiFi connectivity.
Having said that, it’s possible that the HUAWEI nova 9 SE is nothing but a rebranded HONOR 50 SE, since the latter with model number JLN-AL00 had already appeared on TENAA in January.
So far, realme has debuted three models in the realme 9 series, namely realme 9i, realme 9 Pro, and realme 9 Pro+. The brand is expected to release the vanilla realme 9 in the coming days as it had already been certified by multiple agencies as a 5G smartphone. Now, the 4G variant of this handset has also been spotted online.
realme 9 Pro+
The Realme 9 4G has been certified by various certification agencies like FCC, EEC, EMT, BIS, and Thailand Telecom. It bears the model number RMX3521. We first heard about this phone in November but were not aware of its marketing name.
According to the listings online, the device will be backed by a 5,000mAh battery bearing model number LP883. Users will be able to charge this cell at the rate of 33W.
Going by the handset’s listing in the Camera FV-5 database, it will sport a 48MP camera system. It will house a 1/4-inch primary sensor with a 73.7mm focal length, an f/1.78 aperture, and an ISO in the 100-6400 range. Whereas, the front 16MP sensor will be 1/3-inch in size featuring 27.2mm focal length, an f/2.5 aperture, and ISO in the 100-1600 range.
Unfortunately, that’s all the information we have about the yet-to-release 4G variant of Realme 9. We are looking forward to learning more about it in the coming days.
Chinese Smartphone manufacturer TECNO is already into the premium segment with its latest smartphone, the TECNO Phantom X. And now at MWC 2022, the global smartphone maker has announced it will use Samsung’s RGBW Color Filter Sensor technology in the upcoming CAMON series. The company’s CAMON series traditionally focuses on high-quality camera phones and is specially designed for camera lovers. And now with the addition of the RGBW technology, you can expect pro-level images right from your smartphone.
The RGBW (Red, Green, Blue, White) technology allows your camera phone to capture high-definition images, especially in low light, dim and dull surroundings. Unlike traditional RGB sensors, the latest RGBW sensor adopts an innovative pixel arrangement, where it introduces the White pixels which are much more light-sensitive as compared to the RGB pixels, without damaging the original three primary colors (RGB). The beauty of this technology lies in the fact that with White pixels, you get 1.7 times better light sensitivity, which improves the overall brightness of your camera and reduces the color distortions.
The 64MP main camera will carry the new RGBW sensor. This will increase the light input of the CMOS sensor, which in turn will give you brighter and sharper images without affecting the contrasting dark backgrounds. Moreover, it uses Glass + Plastic (G+P) technology, which effectively increases 30% light intake, further enhancing the final picture quality.
When asked to describe the new RGBW color sensor technology, Samsung Electronics VP and Head of R&D Pan Xuebao said, “This technology innovation was created based on user feedback and an effort to bring brighter and clear images. Especially in the low light and super night mode. Its first launch on TECNO’s CAMON series bringing us one step closer to the dream of delivering DSLR-grade photography into the hands of worldwide consumers. ”
TECNO’s Senior Product Manager Leo Lee confirmed the use of the new technology in the upcoming CAMON 19 series. He said, “TECNO CAMON series has been always focused on bringing our users the outstanding camera experience. The use of RGBW will increase camera capabilities and increase flexibility on TECNO CAMON 19 series to respond to consumer demands, to highlight natural human features and colors to showcase aesthetics and diversity across different markets.”
We have seen RGBW sensors enable exceptional photography experience on smartphones before. So it’ll be interesting to see how the RGBW sensor on the CAMON 19 series performs.
We don’t have an official release date for the series yet but stay tuned to Gizmochina for more updates.
A new OPPO A series phone has made an appearance on the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. Carrying model number PFTM20, the phone’s rear design looks pretty similar to the freshly launched vivo Y33s 5G.
The information comes from trusty tipster WHYLAB who on Weibo also shared multiple specifications of the device along with some images.
1 of 4
The OPPO PFTM20 is equipped with a 2.4GHz octa-core processor, which judging by the clock speed, looks like an entry-level to mid-range chip. The display is sized 6.56-inches with a 720p (1612×720) resolution and is an LCD. For photography, it sports a 13MP+2MP dual-camera setup at the rear, paired with an 8MP shooter for selfies.
The battery is sized 4890mAh with support for 10W charging. The device is 7.99mm thick and weighs 186g. Its storage can be expanded by up to 1TB, thanks to SD card support and it also retains the 3.5mm headphone jack.
Shared images show the PFTM20 in blue with a boxy design. You get a side-mounted fingerprint scanner on the right and volume buttons + SD slot on the left.
There’s no indication of the release date yet but it shouldn’t take much longer now considering the device has now bagged certification.
A recent leak has offered us some interesting insight regarding an upcoming Nintendo console. The news arrives from an Nvidia source code leak that hints at a new Switch successor (Switch 2), or the Switch Pro.
Since the leak, the Nintendo Switch Pro and Switch 2 have begun trending on Twitter. There had previously been rumors regarding an Pro model for the Switch handheld gaming console, which would have offered native 4K support, although, these have never been confirmed by the Japanese company. With its rival console makers launching the Xbox Series X/S and the PS5, its only a matter of time till Nintendo unveils its own next gen console that features performance upgrades and other new features.
But despite various rumors, the only new release from the company was an OLED Switch variant. However, the Nvidia source code leak, following a cyberattack, revealed files that hint at a new Switch model. The folders in the leak are listed as “nvn2.” For those unaware, the original Switch had an API labelled as nvn. Keep in mind that this listing is not a direct confirmation that the company is working on a new Switch model, so take this report with a pinch of salt.
They said Nvidia DLSS source code leaked except I instantly see "nvn2" in the screenshot which sounds… Switch 2 specific code?https://t.co/sGdANFTYsg
Additionally, it is also entirely possible that “nvn2” is being used to designate something entirely different. But if it is true, then the Nintendo Switch 2/Pro will feature support for DLSS for its games. The company has seen great success with its existing Switch lineup, even including the OLED variant, so it won’t be a surprise if it planned on launching a new Pro model to compete with the recently released Steam Deck handheld gaming console that is more powerful than any Switch version in the market.
Samsung is expected to launch new A and M series phones in the market. Some of the phones from these series particularly the Galaxy A13 4G and Galaxy M23 5G have been making rounds on several certification sites. Now, both phones have been spotted on Samsung’s official website ahead of the launch. Additionally, the devices have emerged on the NBTC certification hinting at a sooner launch.
The A13 4G is listed in India, the UK, Russia, and Switzerland, while the M23 5G is live on the UK and Russian Samsung pages(via MySmartPrice). The listings reveal the model number of the smartphones. The A13 4G has the model number SM-A135F/DS, whereas, the M23 5G carries the model number SM-M236B/DS.

In addition to this, both phones also made it to the NBTC certification site. Again, the model numbers are the same and they have “DS” in front of them. It means that both phones will be dual-SIM models.

Coming to the specs, the A13 4G appeared on Geekbench earlier. It revealed that the smartphone has Exynos 850 SoC clocked at 2.0GHz. It has 3GB of RAM runs on Android 12 OS. The smartphone is expected to come with an IPS LCD screen similar to the Galaxy A12. It will pack a 5,000mAh battery with 15W fast charging support.
On the other hand, the Galaxy M23 5G was spotted on FCC. The smartphone is expected to come with OIS-enabled 50MP cameras and boot on Android 12 OS. It is rumored to come powered by the Snapdragon 750G SoC.
Chinese smartphone brand realme recently revealed the launch timeline for realme GT NEO3. At the same time, the company not only disclosed the chipset that will be powering this device but also its charging speed. Today, the key specs of the phone have emerged as well.

Tipster Yogesh Brar has shared some of the features of the upcoming Realme GT Neo 3 on Twitter. According to him, the handset will be built around a 6.7-inch FHD+ display. This OLED panel will have support for 10-bit color depth, HDR10+, and up to 120Hz refresh rate.
Further, the device will be powered by the newly announced MediaTek Dimensity 8100 SoC. The brand has already confirmed this feature officially, in addition to 150W UltraDart fast charging support.
Talking about cameras, the smartphone will house a triple-lens system on the rear consisting of a 50MP Sony IMX766 with OIS, an 8MP ultra-wide unit, and a 2MP tele-macro shooter. On the front, it will have a 16MP snapper for selfies and video calls.
As far as power is concerned, the phone will get its juice from a respectable 4,500mAh battery. Unfortunately, the leaker hasn’t mentioned details about the software but we believe the handset will most likely boot realme UI 3.0 based on Android 12.
Last but not least, per Yogesh, the Realme GT Neo 3 will launch in April. However, the company says that the smartphone will debut in H2 2022.
The iPhone SE 3 is almost upon us now, with leaks and rumors piling up over the last couple of months. And as its launch draws closer, a new report shows that the iPhone SE 2 may already be on its way out.
The iPhone SE 3 looks to be getting increasingly harder to get and has even run out of stock at offline Apple Stores. And the places that do have stock have very little of it (via iMore).
Store surveys conducted in major cities across US show low inventories and unavailability of certain variants of the device. Key stores in Canada and popular UK stores like John Lewis and Argos have reported a similar situation.
Moreover, the waiting times for deliveries in the UK through Apple’s website are now stretching beyond two weeks.
iMore says that one Apple retail source in the UK has confirmed that they’re receiving far fewer iPhone SE 2 units since early February. This is limited to this device alone, meaning that dwindling stocks aren’t related to the semiconductor shortage.
The iPhone 3 SE is expected to be priced lower than its predecessor and may recycle the same old design once again. This info comes from a report by analyst John Donovan that projected that the phone could be sold for around $300, which is $100 cheaper than the iPhone SE 2.
