The front side of the phone will feature a 16-megapixel selfie camera, which is capable at recording FHD resolution videos. The rear camera unit will include a 50-megapixel primary camera with an f/1.8 aperture, an 8-megapixel ultrawide lens, and a pair of 2-megapixel lenses, each for adding depth effects and capturing macro shots. The back panel of the phone also features the Motorola batwing logo.
The MediaTek Helio G37 will be present under the hood of the Motorola Moto G22. The device will arrive with 4 GB of RAM, 64 GB of storage, and a microSD card slot. Probably, it will come equipped with the latest Android 12 OS. For security, it is fitted with a side-mounted fingerprint reader.
The Moto G22 will pack a 5,000mAh battery with 10W charging support. The smartphone will lac support for 5G connectivity. It is expected to arrive as the successor for last year’s Moto G20 handset. At present, there is no word on the pricing and availability of the Moto G22. Probably, it will be made official at some point in this month. In some markets, the device may get rebranded as the Lenovo K15+.
Lenovo has recently launched the ThinkVision M14d Mobile monitor for professionals who like to be on the move. The 2K monitor is extremely slim and light making it the perfect solution for your portable small screen needs.
The ThinkVision M14d is the successor of the ThinkVision M14t (touch) and the ThinkVision M14. But this time around, it comes with a 16:10 aspect ratio as most business and professional-oriented laptops have been making a move towards the 16:10 aspect ratio.
Talking about the specs of the monitor, it comes with a 14-inch 2K (2240x1400p) anti-glare IPS WLED-backlit panel. The display has a 60Hz refresh rate and a 6ms response time. It also covers 100% of the sRGB color gamut, has a peak brightness of 300nits, and offers a 1500:1 contrast ratio. The monitor gets “natural low blue light” as a special feature making it easier on the eyes through long hours of screentime.
It weighs 0.6 kg (1.3 lbs), making it relatively easy to lung around next to a laptop. Users can also mount it via the two included 100 mm screw-holes.
Due to its compact size, the Lenovo ThinkVision M14d external monitor doesn’t have any ports other than the two USB Type-C ports that can double up as DP1.4 ports. However, the USB-C port can be used to deliver up to 65 W of power to a connected device. The monitor requires an external power source to power it as it does not have a built battery.
Lenovo has announced that the ThinkVision M14d will cost $299 and will be available for purchase in July 2022.
Huawei has been struggling in the smartphone business ever since sanctions have been imposed on the company by the United States. Despite the difficulties, it keeps launching new smartphones in the market.
The company’s flagship smartphone — Huawei P50 Pro was first launched in July last year in the Chinese market. Now, Huawei has launched a new variant of the device, dubbed Huawei P50 Pro Weilan Haohai Edition, which is now up for sale in China.
The Huawei P50 Pro Weilan Haohai Edition comes in a blue-colored body with a water wave-like effect on the back panel. The device packs 12GB RAM and 512GB internal storage and is priced at 7,988 yuan, which is about $1,265.
As for the specifications, the smartphone features a 6.6-inch OLED display that offers a screen resolution of 1228 x 2700 pixels and a 120Hz refresh rate. It has a punch-hole cutout at the top-center to house the front-facing camera.
In the camera department, there’s a 50-megapixel primary camera with an aperture of f/1.8 and OIS, coupled with a 13-megapixel ultrawide lens, and a 64-megapixel telephoto sensor. On the front, there’s a 13-megapixel snapper for taking selfies and video calling.
Under the hood, the device is powered by the Huawei HiSilicon Kirin 9000 SoC with support for 4G connectivity. The phone is running the company’s own HarmonyOS 2 and is powered by a 4,360mAh battery and supports 66W wired and 50W wirelessly charging.
Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra is currently the most expensive Android phone and it has no compromises in terms of specifications. It even adds a few important killer features making it innovative and suitable for productivity. But a few months ago, Google released a top-tier flagship as well, and a lot of people will opt for it because of the amazing Google software support. Is the Google Pixel 6 Pro able to compete with the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra or has Samsung released a better flagship once again? This is a comparison between their specifications which will let you find out.

Design
Google paid a lot of attention to the design of its brand new Pixel 6 Pro. This handset comes with a very original design including a horizontal camera module, two different colors for its glass back protected by Gorilla Glass Victus, and an aluminum frame. The phone is more compact than Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra and it is waterproof with the IP68 certification. Coming to the Galaxy S22 Ultra, it has an original design too, different from its predecessor Galaxy S21 Ultra. It looks like a Galaxy Note and it even comes with an integrated S Pen. But it is chunkier and less original than the Pixel 6 Pro, that is the reason why I personally prefer the Google flagship.
Display
Samsung is the absolute leader of the display sector and the Galaxy S22 Ultra has a definitely better screen than the Google Pixel 6 Pro. It is an AMOLED panel with an adaptive refresh rate of up to 120 Hz, a Quad HD+ resolution, the HDR10+ certification, the Gorilla Glass Victus Plus protection, and an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint reader. Last but not least, it supports the S Pen for handwriting and drawing. Despite being inferior, the Google Pixel 6 Pro still comes with an amazing display, close to its rival with its Quad HD+ resolution, adaptive refresh rate up to 120 Hz, in-display fingerprint reader, and HDR10+.
Specs & Software
The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra wins the hardware comparison because it sports a stronger processor. The Google Pixel 6 Pro is the first phone with the first Google proprietary chipset, the Google Tensor. This chipset can be a good rival of the Snapdragon 888, but it is not even close to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 found on the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultram, built with a 4 nm production process and running at a max frequency of 3 GHz. Further, the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra offers up to 1 TB of internal storage, while the Google Pixel 6 Pro stops at 512 GB. On the other hand, the Google Pixel 6 Pro will get faster software support as it is a Google phone and Google develops Android.
Camera
On the paper, the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra sports the most advanced camera system. However, several experts believe that the Google Pixel 6 Pro provides a better photo quality. It comes with a 50 MP main camera including laser autofocus and OIS, a stunning 48 MP telephoto sensor with 4x optical zoom, and a 12 MP ultrawide camera. Google’s algorithm seems to do a great job at enhancing the photo quality provided by its flagship.
Both Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra and Google Pixel 6 Pro come with a battery capacity close to 5000 mAh. The battery life provided by these two handsets should not be so different if we consider that they have similar hardware components in terms of efficiency.
Price
The Google Pixel 6 Pro can be purchased for less than €1000 or $900, while you need more than €1250 or $1200 to grab a unit of the Galaxy S22 Ultra. The Samsung flagship is a more advanced device thanks to S Pen, its great display, stronger processor, and faster charging. But the Google Pixel 6 Pro has its important pros such as software support and its amazing camera performance.

Back in October 2021, Redmi launched the Note 11 trio in the Chinese market. Out of the three phones, the Redmi Note 11 Pro+ stood out the most since it offered 120W fast charging and 108MP cameras at an affordable price. Now, the phone has received an official price drop in China making it even more affordable.
The Redmi Note 11 Pro+ 5G was priced at CNY 2099(~$333) for the 8GB RAM and 128GB storage variant, at the time of launch. Now, the device is available for CNY 1999(~$317).
The top-most variant’s price has also gone down by CNY 100(~$16). Now, the top-most variant with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage is available for CNY 2199(~$348) instead of the CNY 2299(~$364) launch price.
The phone has three colors — Mysterious Black, Forest Green, and Timeless Purple. It can be bought at the new price from all Xiaomi stores across China and from online stores like the JD Mall.
At that price, the Redmi Note 11 Pro+ 5G seems to be a good deal. The phone offers a 6.67-inch FHD+ AMOLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate and 360Hz touch sampling rate. It has a 108MP + 8MP + 2MP triple camera system and a single selfie snapper.
The phone is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 920 5G chipset paired with 8GB RAM and 256GB of UFS 2.2 internal storage. It packs a 4,500mAh battery with 120W fast charging support. The phone can go from 0% to 100% in about 15-17 minutes.
The recently announced MediaTek Dimensity 8000 series chips are getting more smartphone brands lining behind to deploy the chip in their upcoming products. Redmi, OnePlus, and Oppo are the latest brands that will release one or more of their incoming models that will be powered by the Dimensity 8000.
The Redmi K50 series is expected to arrive within this month although it may likely be a staggered release. At least one of the Redmi K50 models will have the Dimensity 8000 or 8100 chip. The Redmi K50 and K50 Pro are likely to be the first models to be released. The Redmi K50 Gaming is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip, a seeming turnaround from its predecessor that had a MediaTek Dimensity 1200 chipset.
A possible OnePlus Nord model could also sport the Dimensity 8100, which is a fair projection since the Nord 2 and Nord CE 2 are powered by Dimensity chips. There are also indications that the Oppo K10 series will also have some models sporting the Dimensity 8000 or 8100. Both the Dimensity 8000 and Dimensity 8100 are mid-range SoCs but the Dimensity 8000 has a slightly slower GPU compared to the Dimensity 8100.
MediaTek had announced that the first models sporting its Dimensity 8000 series chips will be released by the end of Q1, 2022 and it seems the company is on course to hit a bullseye in its projections. More details about the specific models that will be powered by the Dimensity 8000 series chips will become known as we inch closer to their launch from the end of March 2022.
Realme GT Neo3 will be the company’s next Neo-series phone in the market. The smartphone’s renders and fast charging capabilities were leaked previously. Now, VP Madhav Sheth has revealed the launch timeline and some specs of the device to the folks at GSMArena. Additionally, Realme is also said to be working foldables and Under-display camera phones.
Realme’s VP Madhav Sheth revealed that the upcoming Realme GT Neo3 will debut in the H2 of this year. That being said, it is still a while until we see the phone in the stores. He also confirmed that the GT Neo3 will be one of the first phones to power the MediaTek Dimensity 8100 SoC. Furthermore, it will indeed come with the 150W UltraDart charging support.

In addition to this, Sheth shared that the company is experimenting with different smartphone form factors to bring to the commercial market. Interestingly, the company is also taking a look at the foldable form-factor meaning that we can expect a foldable from the Realme soon. Unfortunately, Sheth didn’t reveal the launch timeline of the foldable device.
Moreover, a Realme smartphone with Under-display camera(UDC) technology is also in the works. This UDC phone will be released sometime in H2 this year. We can expect the GT Neo3 and this device to arrive at a similar time frame.
Last year, Realme showcased the MagDart magnetic charging system that’s similar to Apple’s MagSafe. However, it is yet to be commercialized. Sheth also had a few words on this, he said that the MagDart’s launch is due since it offers a few comprises, despite being optimized. He revealed that the MagDart charging technology comes with a compromise of either a thicker phone or a smaller battery capacity.
The Bangaluru based EV company, Simple Energy has now launched a new configuration of their existing e-scooter dubbed the Simple One. With the new configuration, the electric scooter now comes with two removable batteries compared to the single removable battery option of the previous version. Other than the added battery capacity, the new Simple One trim will retain the other specs and features of the previous model.
Simple One range upgrades
The previous version of the Simple One scooter offered a total battery capacity of 4.8kWh, which has now been increased to 6.4kWh giving the scooter a maximum range of 300+ km on a single charge. This new option makes the Simple One electric scooter the leader in range offered for a full charge (Indian e-scooter market).
Other than that, the scooter has a motor that allows it to maintain 96 percent efficiency even when operating at its maximum output of 8.5 kW and 72 Nm torque. Other than that, the Simple One accelerates from 0-40 km/h in just 2.85 seconds and has a claimed top speed of 105 km/h.
Its features include a touchscreen instrument cluster with onboard navigation and Bluetooth and 4G connectivity. Access to music and calls are via the user’s smartphone. It gets LED lighting at the front and rear and 30 liters under-seat storage along with a tyre pressure monitoring system.
Suhas Rajkumar, Founder, and CEO of Simple Energy stated that “When we conceived the Simple One, we had the aim of offering an electric scooter that could offer enough range for users to not have to worry about range or charging. Offering an extra battery will allow power users to reach destinations that no other electric two-wheeler in India can. This additional battery can easily fit in the boot of the scooter offering a range of over 300 km. This is a big milestone – not just for Simple Energy, but for the EV industry. This move will also go a long way in bolstering the perception of electric scooters.”
Simple One with an additional battery pack is priced at Rs 1.44 lakhs(ex-showroom). The traditional non-additional battery variant will be available for Rs 1.09 lakh(ex-showroom). As for the specs of the non-additional battery variant, it comes with a total battery capacity of 4.8kWh which nets it a range of 236 km (real-world 203 km). Interested customers can book the Simple One EV by heading to Simple Energy’s official website for booking fees of Rs 1,947.

We have been compiling top stories regularly for the past few weeks. This time we thought to do something different. As you guys seem to be more interested in our coverage of leaks and rumors, we thought to put them together. Hence, in this article, we talk about the top leaks and rumors from last week.
In the last few days, we reported on leaks and rumors surrounding the most-awaited smartphones from multiple OEMs. Let’s take at them one by one in no particular order.
1. Redmi K50 and Redmi K50 Pro to sport vivo-like design
We finallygot to see the design of the upcoming Redmi K50 and Redmi K50 Pro last week. Unfortunately, the new-gen Redmi K series phones will drop their unique design language in favor of a rear design inspired by vivo. This design was first introduced by the Xiaomi group on Xiaomi CIVI.
Thanks to TENAA, we also know the maximum available memory configuration of Redmi’s flagship smartphone lineup. The Redmi K50, the Redmi K50 Pro, and the Redmi K50 Pro+ will max at 8GB + 256GB, 12GB + 256GB, and 12GB + 512GB respectively.
2. POCO F4 GT specs leak confirm Redmi K50G rebrand
The key specs of the yet-to-release POCO F4 GT leaked last week. According to them, the device will be indeed a rebadged Redmi K50G, which is also known as Redmi K50 Gaming Edition.
This is not surprising as the Redmi K40 Gaming Edition debuted as POCO F4 GT in global markets. Most importantly, the Redmi K50G was already spotted at certification websites as Redmi K50G.
3. There may not be a Xiaomi 12 Lite but new CIVI series phones instead
Earlier last week, a report revealed that Xiaomi 12 Lite will be a fusion of Xioami CIVI and Xiaomi 12. A day later, another report disclosed that Xiaomi CIVI Pro may launch soon with slightly better specs than the original Xiaomi CIVI. This device was originally supposed to release as Xiaomi 12 Lite Zoom.
A few days from that, a Xiaomi exec confirmed that there will be no Xioami 12 Lite in 2022. This means the rumored Xiaomi 12 Lite could release as a Xiaomi CIVI series phone in China alongside the so-called Xiaomi CIVI Pro. But we cannot rule out the possibility of it launching under Xiaomi 12 Lite branding in international markets.
4. vivo may release a ‘Note’
The long-rumored vivo NEX 5 is now expected to go official as vivo X Note. A leak from last week not only disclosed the phone’s name but also some of its specs.
The device is said to arrive with a 7-inch QHD+ 120Hz curved AMOLED display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC, 50MP Samsung ISOCELL S5KGN1 primary camera, 48MP Sony IMX598 secondary camera, 12MP Sony IMX663 tertiary camera, and 8MP OmniVision OV08A10 quaternary camera with 5x optical zoom lens, 5,000mAh battery, and 80W fast charging.
5. Next-gen Samsung A series is just around the corner
The key features of the forthcoming Galaxy A73 5G, Galaxy A53 5G, Galax A33 5G, and Galaxy A23 5G emerged last week. The details about their display, chipset, camera, battery, and charging leaked.
All four will sport an FHD+ high refresh rate display and a quad-camera system. Most of them will have a 5,000mAh battery and a couple of them will have 25W fast charging support, while the remaining two will be limited to 15W charging.
Interestingly, only one of them will feature a Qualcomm chipset. Whereas, two models will come with MediaTek SoCs and the remaining one will house an Exynos chip.
6. Cheapest 5G iPhone ever to release in a few days
According to a report from last week, the upcoming Apple iPhone SE 2022 is rumored to start at only $300. It will be $100 cheaper than its predecessor iPhone SE 2020.
Despite being more affordable, the latest model is expected to arrive with 5G connectivity, a new chipset, and better battery life. If this happens to be true, then It will release as the cheapest 5G iPhone to date.
Hero Electric has a growing reputation in India for producing affordable and standard electric two-wheelers. The company has exceeded more than 450,000 units sold in India presently. The Hero Eddy e-scooter is the latest entrant in the market and it comes with some decent features. The Hero Eddy is an e-scooter designed for short commutes and according to the company, it is loaded with several features to guarantee a convenient ride.
The stylishly designed and flamboyant Hero Eddy e-scooter was unveiled on March 1 and has an ex-showroom price of Rs. 72,000 (~$951). The target customer base for the Hero Eddy is those who seek an electric two-wheeler that can cover short distances and require none of the standard registration processes in place for higher-speed EVs.
There are no details about the range of the Hero Eddy currently, the e-scooter will not require either a registration or driving license for the rider because it is classed as a low-speed vehicle. Some of the exciting features that are available in the Hero Eddy are the E-lock, Find My Bike, a decent storage space, Follow Me Headlamps, and reverse mode. Two attractive color variants of the Hero Eddy will be available namely light blue and yellow.
The e-scooter will be available across Hero Electric’s 750 sales and service outlets across the Indian subcontinent. The release of the Hero Eddy is in line with expansion plans by the company that has seen it expand the capacity of its Lithuania production facility.
Last month we learned that the upcoming Android 13 will be codenamed Tiramasu and will bring along new themes, built-in QR code scanning, and easier sharing features among others. And now, a famous analyst has revealed that the next-gen Android will also include a feature that has long been present in Apple iPhones.
According to Mishaal Rehman, Google may add a brightness control feature for the camera flash which will let you adjust its brightness while being used as a torch. This feature is already present in iOS devices and even Samsung offers it in their One UI overlay.
However, there are a few caveats as not all Android devices will be able to implement this feature with just an Android 13 update. This is due to the flash brightness control requiring a hardware interface that not all phones would have installed with their camera packs. Meaning that it may be so that only future Android smartphones may get this feature.
Mishaal Rehman has also stated that the Android 13’s system-level torch light intensity option would likely debut on upcoming Pixel phones that are expected to be unveiled at Google’s I/O and then eventually trickle down to Android phone makers that don’t offer this feature in their interface overlay. So it appears that a lot of Android users might have to wait a while even after the launch of Android 13 to be able to utilize this feature.
The ongoing Mobile World Congress 2022 holding in Barcelona, Spain has seen several key announcements from various manufacturers. One of the big announcements from Korean tech powerhouse Samsung is that the Galaxy Note will now come out as the Galaxy Ultra, according to its smartphone chief.
Roh-Taemoon, Samsung’s smartphone arm’s executive indicates that the Galaxy S22 Ultra will suffice for this current iteration unlike previously when a Galaxy Note will have to be thrown into the mix. The last Galaxy Note released was in 2020 when the Galaxy Note 20 and Note 20 Ultra came on board. The integrated Stylus design present in the Galaxy S22 Ultra flagship seems a reflection of everything that we may have expected of a Galaxy Note. This convergence may be a business decision to shore up resources and sales, as the Galaxy Note lineup has had a turbulent trajectory since they berthed in 2011.
The advent of foldable displays which Samsung also played a pioneering part via the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Z Flip 3, has further restricted the utility of the Galaxy Note lineup, as users prefer more compact and versatile displays.
The Galaxy S22 Ultra will continue to appease the desire of Galaxy Note addicts as a more-than-worthy successor, and we expect more note-like offerings from Samsung going forward, according to Taemoon. So we can start viewing current Galaxy Note models as collector items.

Mobvio, the Beijing-based smart wearable company has announced a new smartwatch co-developed with CardieX, a global health tech company. The company claims its latest fitness tracker, the TicWatch GTH Pro, can measure a person’s long-term arterial health.
Mobvio claims to achieve this with their new “Arty Heart Health” analytics platform that measures central arterial waveforms. Simply put, it measures the strength of your pulse to accumilate data reguarding the heart health of the user.
The GTH Pro has two optical heart rate sensors. One of these sensors measures heartrate from the wrist and another that’s located on the side of the watch. The side mounted sensor is there so users can place a finger on the sensor to take daily readings, similar to an EKG smartwatch.
Based on the daily readings, the watch provides the user with an “Arty Score” which is representative of their overall cardiac health. The TicWatch GTH Pro uses four metrics to determine this score which are xercise capacity, estimated arterial age, heart stress, and heart rate. Exercise capacity refers to blood flow to the heart, while arterial age is based on how “stiff” your arteries are. Meanwhile, heart stress is based on pulse pressure.
The company claimes that when users use the fitness tracker for long terms, it’ll give personalised recommendations based on the user’s metrics which can range form advice to be more physically active to adding more Vitamin C in your diat.
Outside of fitness tracking of 14 actives, SPO2 and sleep tracking, the GTH Pro can continuously monitor skin temperature as well as respiration rate. The device can last for about 7-10 days on a single charge and takes around two hours to completly recharge. The device also offers a 5 ATM water resistance. The watch comes with a standard 20mm band and can easily be swapped out.
The TicWatch GTH Pro comes in graphite black and is now available from Mobvoi.com and Amazon for $99.

Huawei has released a new, cheaper version of the MateBook 13 laptop with the device coming with just one feature separating it from the previous model. The MateBook 13 was first launched in 2020 but this model misses out on the touch functionality on the display. This brings down the price of the laptop to 5,199 yuan ($824).
The laptop retains all other features found on the original MateBook 13 released in 2020. This includes a dazzling 2K full-screen design in a compact 13-inch body with a narrow frame design. The laptop utilizes a unique 3:2 aspect ratio and up to 88% screen-to-body ratio. The display also comes with a 100% sRGB wide color gamut, and double eye protection function.
The screen of the previous touch screen version supports ten-point touch, supports one-finger swipe to browse web pages, and a two-finger stretch action to enlarge pictures. This version which is 300 yuan cheaper is suitable for those who don’t need these touch features.
The MateBook 13 also uses a thin and light metal body, carved with greasy sandblasting technology, and has a high-quality texture. The laptop is just 14.9 mm thin and weighs just 1.3 kg.
The MateBook 13 features an Intel Core i5 chipset paired with 16GB RAM and 512GB storage. The laptop comes with an Intel Iris Xe Graphics card bringing about a 160% increase in the graphics performance compared to the previous generation.
In terms of heat dissipation, the MateBook 13 is equipped with a new dual-fan and dual heat pipe “wing” arrangement. The design improves the heat dissipation efficiency and makes the cooling more balanced.
The new Huawei MateBook 13 will go on sale in China on March 4.
