It was last year that the very first foldable smartphones from both vivo and OPPO were tipped to be in the works. Later that year, the Find N from OPPO popped up and generated much hype thanks to its virtually crease-less display, among other things. And now, a new leak has revealed that vivo will soon be joining OPPO at the foldables club too with a device that may be called the vivo NEX Fold.
The information comes from tipster Panda is Bald who has also revealed a few specifications of the device. Its battery has been tipped to be sized 4,600mAh and will support up to 80W fast charging. While this isn’t the fastest around, the tipster has called it “luxurious” likely because of the fact that the speed is reserved for flagship BBK phones like the OnePlus 10 Pro and the upcoming OPPO Find X5.
Another bit revealed about the vivo NEX Fold is that it will come with a 5x periscope zoom lens. Again, periscope lenses are typically reserved for flagship-level devices so it’s kind of obvious that specs in other departments will be flagship-level too.
Apart from this, vivo is also set to launch its next flagship smartphone series. Dubbed vivo X80, the series may be comprised of four X80 models such as the vivo X80 SE, X80, X80 Pro, and X80 Pro+. From these, the alleged X80/X80 Pro recently surfaced on AnTuTu with the all-new Dimensity 9000 chipset, achieving some really impressive scores.
OPPO’s first tablet is nearly upon us now, scheduled for a February 24th launch. The company officially revealed the device’s design for the first time yesterday through a social media post. This happened following a leakster revealing its complete specifications. That leaves nothing but the pricing of the OPPO Pad, which has now been tipped as well.
Blogger Panda is Bald through a post on Weibo today revealed that the OPPO Pad will start at 2,499 Yuan (~$394) for the 6GB+128GB variant. Meanwhile, the second variant that comes with a 6GB+256GB config will be priced at 2,799 Yuan (~$441).
The OPPO Pad will come with a 10.95-inch LCD display with a 2560 x 1600 resolution, surrounded by fairly slim bezels. It will support 10-bit colors and a 120Hz refresh rate.
Under the hood, you’ll get the flagship-level Snapdragon 870 chip that will be supported by up to 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. The battery will be sized 8,360mAh battery and will support 33W fast charging.
For photography, the tablet will be equipped with an 8-megapixel front camera and a 13-megapixel rear camera. The audio will be handled by Dolby Atmos-powered quad speakers. For connectivity, there will be Wi-Fi 6 2×2 MIMO support. The device will measure 7.05mm in thickness and weigh 510 grams.
A patent filed by Meta showing a smartwatch with a detachable display came to light last month, and based on that, an artist has now created some 3D renders showing the watch in its full glory.

While not officially mentioned, it wouldn’t be unsafe to assume that the gadget will be carrying a Meta Band moniker when it goes official. The renders created by Sarang Sheth and posted on Yanko Design show the watch with a very unconventional design, with strings instead of a strap. These should allow it to be worn comfortably for longer periods. The display is imagined to be a fairly large one, with a waterdrop notch atop that houses a selfie camera.
A combination of cameras and Facebook/Meta would raise red flags for many given the company’s track record, but hey, at least the rear camera gets hidden when the display is put back into its frame. The front camera, on the other hand, should make a handy tool for seamless video chatting and vlogging when paired with the display.

But of course, it’s quite difficult to fit a decent camera sensor into something as tiny as a hole punch on a smartwatch display, so it would make sense for Meta to add another better-quality unit at the back. And that’s exactly what the renders show.
Meta will also likely be going big on Facebook and Instagram integrations, allowing users to quickly convert shots clicked through the Meta Band into social media posts. This will also serve as a great way to swing the user preference from their smartphone cameras to the watch cameras.
Last but not least, the Meta Band could act as another gateway to the ambitious Metaverse, just like the AR display that is currently under development.

The OPPO Find X5 series will use “suspended anti-shake technology” for the first time, which is very similar to the sensor-shift + OIS combo used by Apple on the iPhone 13 series. The technology enables movement of the sensor instead of the lens, that too at a much faster rate. This enables greatly improved stabilization across both photography and videography — but at a cost. According to a new report, the new tech on the Find X5 series is quite pricey and could even result in a slight bump in price.
IT Home via “Science and Technology Innovation Board Daily” has revealed that the cost of the fancy new suspended anti-shake tech on the OPPO Find X5 series has exceeded $50. While this may not sound like much, BOM (bill of materials) costs typically rise by around 2 to 3 times when converted to the retail price.
On top of that, the Find X5 series is also equipped with OPPO’s first-ever self-developed NPU chip for imaging. Dubbed ‘MariSilicion X,’ the chip only adds to the cost further. And if that’s not enough, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 is reportedly pricier than the last-gen Snapdragon 888 chip.
When all of this is put together, it does indeed appear that the OPPO Find X5 series will be priced higher than the Find X3 series. While IT Home expects a 1000 Yuan (~$150) increase, it is hard to know for sure at this point. Hopefully, OPPO will figure out a way to sell the upcoming flagship series without any change in price whatsoever.
Most of the leading smartphone manufacturers already have at least one foldable smartphone in the market while companies like Samsung have already launched three generations of such devices.
On the other hand, Apple is yet to launch a foldable iPhone but there were reports about such a device getting launched soon. However, a new report indicates that the foldable iPhone has been delayed.
According to a new report from Display Supply Chain Consultants (DSCC) analyst Ross Young, Apple’s foldable iPhone is delayed until 2025. The reason given for this is that the company is exploring all-screen foldable MacBooks.
The delay for the launch of a foldable iPhone is quite long if it is not getting official until 2025. Earlier, the device was rumored to get launched sometime in 2023 or 2024 to catch up with the competition in the market. But the delay in the launch indicates that the tech giant is not in a hurry to enter the foldable smartphones market.
Interestingly, the company is now focusing on MacBooks and is allegedly exploring possibilities of offering an all-screen foldable notebook. The company is currently in discussion with suppliers for around 20-inch foldable screen.
However, the launch timeline for the foldable MacBook is likely later than 2025 and the launch is most likely to take place in 2026 or 2027. This could turn out be a new product category for the company with two different use cases in folded and full opened forms.
Meanwhile, the company is set to launch several new products this year, including the Apple iPhone 14 series, M2 chipset, MacBooks powered by the M2 chipset, a 27-inch iMac Pro with M1 Pro or M1 Max processor, and a new Mac Mini, among others.
Xiaomi is expected to announce the Xiaomi 12 series of flagship phones in global markets including India soon. A fresh report by MySmartPrice, which cites tipster Mukul Sharma as the source has shared some information on Xiaomi 12 Pro’s pricing and launch timeframe for India.
According to the report, the Xiaomi 12 Pro will be launching in Q1 of FY 2022. This indicates that the device will break cover by early April in the country. While the country is expected to receive Xiaomi 12 and Xiaomi 12X models, the report has no information on their launch timeline.
Sharma claimed that the Xiaomi 12 Pro will be aggressively priced in India. To recall, it was introduced with a price tag of 4,699 Yuan (~$740; Rs 55,550). Probably, it will be priced under Rs 55,000 in the country. The device will be rivalling with the upcoming OnePlus 10 Pro.
Xiaomi 12 Pro specifications
The Xiaomi 12 Pro has a 6.73-inch AMOLED LTPO display that offers a Full HD+ resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, an under-display fingerprint scanner, and Gorilla Glass Victus protection. It has a 32-megapixel front-facing camera, and a 50-megapixel (main) + 50-megapixel (ultrawide) + 5-megapixel (telephoto) triple camera unit.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 powered device has 8 GB / 12 GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 256 GB of UFS 3.1 storage. The 5,000mAh battery of the handset supports 120W fast charging, 50W wireless charging, and 10W reverse wireless charging. For audiophiles, it features JBL dual stereo speakers.
POCO X4 Pro official renders have leaked. Last week, a tipster released the watermarked renders of the smartphone. At the same time, a German publication released the hands-on images (now removed) of the device. Now, well-known tipster Evan Blass has leaked the official renders of the X4 Pro.
POCO X4 Pro design, color variants
The POCO X4 Pro will be arriving in three colors such as POCO Yellow, Laser Blue, and Laser Black. As can be seen in the new images, the device features a large camera block with the POCO and 108MP branding on the right and an LED-flash assisted triple camera unit on the left. The rest of the back has an attractive pattern and a 5G logo towards the bottom.

The frontside of the POCO X4 Pro features a punch-hole display with minimal bezels. For security, it has a side-facing fingerprint scanner. Several reports have claimed that the X4 Pro will borrow all its specs from the Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G, which debuted in global markets in the recent past.
POCO X4 Pro 5G specifications (rumored)
The POCO X4 Pro 5G is expected to feature a 6.67-inch AMOLED display with Gorilla Glass 5 protection. The screen offers a 120Hz refresh rate and an FHD+ resolution. The smartphone boots to MIUI 13 flavored Android 11. It has a front-facing camera of 16-megapixel and a rear-facing triple camera unit headlined by a 108-megapixel snapper. The latter is accompanied by an 8-megapixel ultrawide lens and a 2-megapixel macro lens.
The X4 Pro is equipped with the Snapdragon 695 mobile platform. It is expected to arrive with 6 GB and 8 GB RAM models. Both variants may offer 128 GB of built-in storage and a shared SIM slot for adding a microSD card. It may arrive with 33W fast charging support for its 5,000mAh battery.
The POCO X4 Pro will be presented along with the POCO M4 Pro 4G on Feb. 28 at the MWC 2022 tech trade show.
Samsung’s Expert RAW was launched for enthusiasts who felt that the already extensive default camera app was still limited in its scope. First introduced with the Galaxy S21 Ultra, the app has now been announced to support every Galaxy S22 model as well. But as a new official post from yesterday on the Samsung Community forums says, even more models are set to receive support for the alternative photography app:
February 22
Galaxy S22
Galaxy S22+
Galaxy S22 Ultra
Early March
Galaxy S21 Ultra
April
Galaxy Z Fold3
H1 2022
Galaxy S20 Ultra
Galaxy Note 20 Ultra
Galaxy Z Fold2
For the uninitiated, the Expert RAW app from Samsung is a powerful camera app that includes a number of advanced computational photography features to improve shots, such as multi-frame HDR and RAW capture through the telephoto lens. You can even save clicks in JPEG and DNG RAW formats, which can be quickly edited thanks to the direct integration with Adobe Lightroom.
Being rather resource-intensive, it’s no surprise that the Expert RAW app requires high-end performance from the CPU, NPU, and even the GPU to work smoothly. The forum post accordingly says that supported phones must be equipped with at least the Exynos 990 or Snapdragon 865 chips, 8GB of RAM, and a telephoto lens supporting Bayer RAW with 2x (or higher) optical zoom. This effectively limits the camera app to flagship Samsung phones alone, that too the newer models.
This, in turn, means that several devices like the S20 series, Note 20, S21, and S21+ do not make the cut despite sporting flagship SoCs, since they lack a 2x optical zoom lens.

OnePlus recently announced a new variant of its flagship OnePlus 10 Pro smartphone in the Chinese market, dubbed as OnePlus 10 Extreme Edition which comes in White color. This is similar to what OnePlus did with the last year’s 9 Pro flagship smartphone.
While there are many flagship smartphones available in the market from different brands but very few of them have a white color option and now an executive of OnePlus has explained the reason behind this.
OnePlus 10 Pro Extreme Edition aka White Edition
Liu Fengshuo, President of the OnePlus product line has shared details on Chinese microblogging platform Weibo about the lack of White-colored smartphones in the market. He is attributing this to three major reasons.
First, the process of producing a white-colored device with accurate color, material, and finish (aka CMF) is more difficult as the slight variation in the craftsmanship delivery a completely different final output.
The second reason is said to be the low yield rate which raises the cost of producing white-colored models compared to other colors. He adds that the company tested over 100 effects over a three-month period before finalizing the OnePlus 10 Pro Extreme Edition.
Lastly, the white color is more prone to fingerprints and smudges which doesn’t make it an attractive option for phone manufacturers. However, Liu Fengshuo says that OnePlus was able to overcome this issue with its latest device.
The OnePlus 10 Pro Extreme Edition aka White Edition comes in a single variant with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. It is priced at 5,799 yuan, which roughly converts to $917, and will be available for purchase in China from 1st March.
Realme is planning to launch a new V-series of smartphones in China. Today, the brand’s CMO Xu Qi published a Weibo post to confirm that the Realme V25 will be launching soon. Probably, the handset will be made official this month. The moniker of the phone indicates that it will debut as a successor for the Realme V15 handset from last year.
Xu Qi is yet to reveal any details on the specs of the Realme V25. However, it appears that the TENAA certified Realme phone with model number RMX3475 may debut in the Chinese market as the Realme V25. It is likely that the company may soon roll out more teasers before its official announcement.
Realme V25 specifications (rumored)
The Realme V25 will feature a 6.58-inch LCD screen with a punch-hole design. It will deliver an FHD+ resolution of 1080 x 2412 pixels. For security, it will be equipped with a side-facing fingerprint scanner. The device will come preloaded with Android 12 OS with Realme UI 3.0 on top.
There will be a 64-megapixel primary camera on the rear shell of the Realme V25. It will be coupled with a pair of 2-megapixel lenses. The device will be sporting a 16-megapixel front camera for capturing selfies.
The TENAA listing revealed that the handset is fueled by a 2.25GHz, which could be a Snapdragon 6-series chip. The device may come with 6 GB / 8 GB / 12 GB of RAM. It may arrive in storage options like 128 GB and 256 GB. The device could be backed by a 5,000mAh battery, which may carry support for 33W fast charging. There is no word on the pricing of the V25.
There have been several rumors about the upcoming Apple iPhone 14 series smartphones, revealing what we should expect from the next-generation devices from one of the world’s largest smartphone brands.
Now, in a new development, it is being reported that the Apple iPhone 14 has entered into the trial production phase.
A report from UDN claims that the Apple iPhone 14’s design is currently in trial production which means that a small number of devices are being built which will be used to collect data that will be used for the mass production process.
The aim of this trial production is to find out if the design has any issues or problems or if there is any possibility of improvement for the product. This phase is also used to determine the production output capacity for the company as well as for developing the quality control procedures.
Interestingly, Luxshare, the company which is assembling the Apple iPhone 13 Pro, hasn’t received a production service order yet for the iPhone 14 series. It is being speculated that the company won’t get orders for the iPhone 14 Pro but instead, it will be assembling the base iPhone 14 model. Last year, Luxshare managed to receive 3 percent of the total iPhone 14 Pro orders.
The process of the production of the Apple iPhone usually beings in February with Apple issuing the orders to the manufacturers. After getting the service order, the manufacturers create a Bill of Materials (BOM) for the production and testing machines for quality control.
Earlier this year, in the month of January, OPPO had launched the Enco Air 2 true wireless earphones in the Chinese market. Now, the company has a new color option of the same earbuds on sale in the home country.
OPPO Enco Air 2 TWS earphones are now available in a new Clear Sky Blue color option in China at a price of 179 yuan, which roughly converts to $28.
In terms of the design, the new OPPO Enco Air 2 earphones are quite similar to the last-gen Enco Air and come with a translucent jelly-like case. The exterior design of the buds also remains unchanged for the most part.
It uses use 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.
If the report is to be believed, then the Enco Air 2 earbuds are rumored to launch in India in February 2022 but no official comments have been made by OPPO on the matter.
Nubia just launched the most impressive gaming phone of 2022 in terms of charging speeds: a lot of people would never expect the fastest charging technology out there on a gaming phone from a brand like Nubia, but it happened with the REDMAGIC 7 Pro. Meanwhile, Xiaomi decided to launch a new gaming phone as well: the Redmi K50 Gaming Edition. As for now, these are the only real gaming phones released in 2022 and their specifications are simply impressive. Which one is the best and which offers the highest value for money? This comparison between their specifications will hopefully clear your ideas in regards to this question.

Design
The REDMAGIC 7 Pro comes with astonishing specifications, but it also comes with a bigger, thicker, and heavier body. Its dimensions are far from being compact and, if you want a good phone to use with one hand or to keep in a pocket, this is definitely not the best choice for you. But it is very original with its gaming-centric design available in a transparent color option. Further, it is built with premium materials, including a glass back and an aluminum frame. For those who search for an elegant phone, the Redmi K50 Gaming Edition is a better option because it has a thinner, lighter, and more compact design. It does not have the incredible RGB lights of the REDMAGIC 7 Pro, but it is definitely a soberer phone. The REDMAGIC 7 Pro has pressure-sensitive zones on the rear side, while the Redmi K50 Gaming Edition comes with additional physical gaming triggers besides the classic physical keys.
Display
There should be no important differences between the displays in terms of image quality. The Redmi K50 Gaming Edition is equipped with an AMOLED panel showing up to one billion colors with the Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels, a 120 Hz refresh rate, and the HDR10+ certification; the panel has a 6.67-inch panel and the fingerprint reader is side-mounted. The REDMAGIC 7 Pro has an AMOLED display with one billion colors, a Full HD+ resolution, and a 120 Hz refresh rate as well, but it has a wider 6.8-inch diagonal and it sports an in-display fingerprint scanner. Further, it comes with an under-display camera by ZTE and it is one of the few commercial phones with this feature.
Specs & Software
Redmi K50 Gaming Edition and REDMAGIC 7 Pro are both powered by the octa-core Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 mobile platform built at 4 nm and running at a max frequency of 3 GHz, so both are able to provide incredible performance in the most advanced usage scenarios such as hardcore gaming. However, the REDMAGIC 7 Pro will provide better performance for two reasons: first of all, it has better memory configurations including up to 16 GB of RAM and up to 1 TB of internal storage. Further, it has a built-in cooling fan with higher heat dissipation capabilities, so it will most likely provide higher performance in long gaming sessions. These two phones run Android 12 out of the box.
Camera
These devices are not so impressive as camera phones, but they can be considered good midrange camera phones. The Redmi K50 Gaming Edition should be slightly better as it packs a 64 MP main camera with a brighter f/1.7 focal aperture, as well as an 8 MP ultrawide sensor and a 2 MP macro camera. Even the 20 MP front camera is better than the 16 MP front snapper of its rival.
The REDMAGIC 7 Pro has a bigger battery with a capacity of 5000 mAh. Further, it features faster charging with a power of 135W: the fastest charging technology out there.
Price
The Chinese starting price of the REDMAGIC 7 Pro roughly translates into €670/$757, while Redmi K50 Gaming Edition starts from €460/$520. The REDMAGIC gaming phone wins the comparison thanks to a wider panel, built-in cooling fan, bigger battery, faster charging, better memory configuration. But the Redmi flagship is more compact and it has a higher value for money.
Nubia REDMAGIC 7 Pro vs Xiaomi Redmi K50 Gaming Edition: PRO and CONS
After launching the POCO M4 Pro 5G, POCO is all set to launch the 4G model of the device this month. Today, the POCO M4 Pro 4G has appeared on the Google Play Console site revealing key specs.
According to the Google Play Console listing, the POCO M4 Pro 4G with codename “fleur” has a Full-HD+ display. It has an exact resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels. The screen is expected to be a punch-hole panel, just like the 5G model.
The smartphone is powered by the MediaTek MT6781V chipset which is believed to be the Helio G96 chipset. It has 6GB of RAM and runs on Android 11 OS. We expect the device to have more variants and come with either MIUI 12.5 or MIUI 13 on the top.
Previously, the POCO M4 Pro 4G made it to the Geekbench certification with model number 2201117SI(another variant with “miel” codename). It confirmed that the device has an Helio G96 chipset. The phone scored 526 single-core points and 1832 multi-core points.
POCO M4 Pro 5G
Rumors have it that the upcoming M4 Pro 4G will be a rebranded version of the Redmi Note 11S. The only difference could be in the rear camera island. Having said that, the phone may sport a 6.43-inch FHD+ AMOLED screen with a 90Hz refresh rate.
The Note 11S has a 108MP primary camera, so we can expect the same sensor on the Pro. The smartphone may have a 5,000mAh battery with 33W fast charging support.
