Dongfeng Warrior M18 EV with 1,070 HP is China’s version of GMC’s Hummer EV

Feb 7, 2022

Chinese fans of power vehicles in the class of the Hummer H1 will soon be serenaded with the Dongfeng Warrior M18 electric vehicle with 1,070 HP power capacity. The Warrior M18 electric vehicle is touted as China’s EV version of the Hummer EV and it is the electric version of the Dongfeng Warrior M50.

Dongfeng Warrior M18 EV — Dongfeng Warrior M50 uses Diesel

Dongfeng had done a great job of reinventing the original AM General vehicle with both civilian and military applications well factored into the designs. The Dongfeng Humvees bear a very striking resemblance to its more popular Hummer H1 model, The diesel-powered Dongfeng Warrior M50 has a 200hp engine, but the proposed electric version of the Humvee will pack a monster 1,070hp power. Reports monitored in China indicate that Dongfeng will equip the car with electric motors that could deliver up to 800kW (1,070hp) with a possible top acceleration from 0-100km/h within 5 seconds, and a 500km range for the vehicle. This could translate to up to 26kWh/ 100km energy consumption.

The Warrior M18 EV could weigh up to 3.1 tons, which will be a significant reduction from the diesel-powered version which weighs up to 3.5 tons. If indeed the sources are accurate, a significantly lighter EV version to its internal combustion version will be a massive feat. Dongfeng will manufacture the Warrior M18 in a brand new factory currently under construction and it is expected to be priced cheaper than comparable electric trucks available in the global market, especially in the US.

There is no mention of the possibility of bi-directional power for homes coming from the huge electric motor of the Warrior M18. It is also unlikely that the Dongfeng M18 could be exported outside China when it is released, with massive demand for such monster EV machines within the mainland. There are no clear indications yet at this time about the pricing and release date for the Dongfeng Warrior M18.

Feb 7, 2022

Last week, a render leak revealed many details about the upcoming OPPO flagship dubbed the Find X5 Pro. And now, the renders and specs of the vanilla Find X5 have also surfaced giving us a detailed look at its design and features.

OPPO Find X5 renders

1 of 6

Stylistically, Find X5 is almost the same as the Find X5 Pro featuring a screen with curved edges with a punch-hole cutout placed on the top left for the selfie camera. The power button appears to be located on the right side while the volume rocker is present on the left.

Even the unorthodox-shaped camera is also the same as the Pro variant but it features a minute change. The Find X5 has a thin border on the outside of the camera island which is not present in the Find X5 Pro.

The German publication WinFuture states that, unlike the Find X5 Pro, the vanilla variant will feature a Snapdragon 888 SoC and boot ColorOS 12.1 out of the box. It will only be offered in one memory configuration in European markets, being 8GB LPDDR5 RAM and 256 GB UFS 3.1 storage.

The device will feature a 6.55-inch 2400 x 1080p AMOLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate and Corning Gorilla Glass 7 protection.

The triple-camera on the device will be identical to the Pro model and will use two 50-megapixel Sony IMX766 sensors to work as a primary camera and an ultra-wide one. Both of these camera units will feature optical image stabilization. The third cutout will house a 13-megapixel telephoto lens capable of 5x hybrid zoom and 20x digital zoom. The front camera will have a 32-megapixel Sony IMX615 sensor.

The cameras will come with Hasselblad tuning and will use the newly developed MariSilicon X Imaging NPU for image processing and AI-based applications and enhancements.

OPPO will offer a 4800mAh battery with 80W fast charging support and wireless charging capabilities. For connectivity, it will have 5G, WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, and NFC. The dust and water resistance on the vanilla X5 is not on par with the Find X5 Pro’s IP68 as it only offers IP54 dust and water resistance.

The pricing of the device is hinted to be around 1000 Euros for the European markets but it is too soon to say for certain so stay tuned for more updates.

The device is powered by a large 6,000mAh battery that supports 18W fast charging along with reverse charge support as well that enables it to charge other products.

A Weibo user asked whether the launch will take place on 25th Feb or 28th Feb, to which Lu Weibing replied saying “not so late.”

This means that the “peak performer” aka the Redmi K50 Gaming Edition which is rumored to be the first device to launch in the K50 lineup is likely to be released in the 2nd or 3rd week of February.

Nearing the release date, the company has also begun delisting the Redmi K40 series smartphones with the K40 Pro being completely out of stock right now in China.

Feb 7, 2022

Samsung is all set to unveil the Galaxy S22 series on February 9 globally and ahead of its launch, almost all the details have been revealed. The Galaxy S22 series will employ the Exynos 2200 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC, depending on the region. Just like every year, Samsung was expected to offer Exynos-powered S22 units in India. However, now a new tip from Ishan Agarwal(via Pricebaba) reveals that the S22 series for the Indian market will have the hankered Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC.

Having a Snapdragon chipset in the Galaxy S-series flagship was only a wish for several Samsung fans in India. Seems like, the wish would finally get fulfilled this year, thanks to the Snapdragon-powered S22 units in India.

Notably, this time around, there will be the Galaxy S22, S22+, and S22 Ultra. The design of the former two models is similar to the existing S21 series phones. But, we’ll get to see a new design for the Ultra. It will be almost like a boxy Galaxy Note-like design.

As for the specs sheet, there will be a 6.1-inch FHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel on the vanilla S22, a 6.6-inch FHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X screen on the S22+, and lastly a large 6.8-inch QHD+ LTPO AMOLED panel on the S22 Ultra. The trio will get a 120Hz refresh rate.

Feb 7, 2022

Ahead of Wednesday’s Samsung Galaxy Unpacked event where the Galaxy S22 lineup is expected to be released, Samsung may have teased a live image of the Galaxy S22 Ultra. The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra is 5G-compatible, has an innovative digital S Pen system, and comes with several other features that underscore its flagship status. The first photo sample from the Galaxy S22 Ultra was posted by Samsung across its social media official handles. The photo was taken during the opening ceremony of the ongoing 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, China.

The photo of the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra was shot in low light but reflected a powerful camera system, as the image looked sharp and crisp. Indeed the image speaks a lot about the impressive Galaxy S22 Ultra, further increasing the expectation of Galaxy faithful across the globe. Although there is no specific allusion that the photo came from the Galaxy S22 Ultra, it will be highly unusual for Samsung to tweet such a photo with days to the Unpacked event that will be focused on the S22 Ultra. Pre-orders for the Galaxy S22 Ultra continue up to the unveiling and a $50 credit is part of the incentives available.

The camera is one of the most anticipated features of the Galaxy S22 Ultra. Samsung had focused on its foldable flagships – the Z Fold 3 and the Z Flip 3 in 2021 and will be turning attention to the S22 lineup of non-foldable models with a lot of extended features. A 108MP main camera sensor is expected to signpost the Galaxy S22 Ultra, together with a 12MP sensor, an ultra-wide lens, a pair of 10MP sensors, and a pair of telephoto lenses. Optical zoom is possible with the Galaxy S22 Ultra up to 100x. We’ll keep track with Samsung as the countdown to the Unpacked event goes by the hour.

Google Pixel 6 Pro appears on Amazon India, but buyers beware..

Feb 7, 2022

The Google Pixel 6 series which is the company’s most popular smartphone to date has not been made available in India this time around. However, a listing for the Pixel 6 Pro has appeared on Amazon India.

The device is listed at a jaw-dropping price of Rs. 117,150 ($1,569) which is quite a hike from its U.S. listings of $899 even after import duties and taxes. The product is marked as Amazon fulfilled and comes with a 7-day return and Amazon warranty policy. However, considering that Google never released the device in India. It is not eligible for any sort of warranty within the nation.

The two red flags noticed for this listing are the reviews and ratings of its seller Worldwide_Store which has been accused of selling imported products as well as having some allegations of supplying fake products. The supplier has had a 73% negative rating in the past 90 days. Secondly, the Amazon listing mentions that the Pixel 6 Pro has T-Mobile as its wireless carrier which indicates that the phone is most likely carrier-locked and belongs to one of the regions where T-Mobile operates like the USA or Poland.

The seller has another Pixel 6 Pro listed for Rs. 104,000 ($1,393) however, it is not marked under the Amazon fulfilled program meaning that Amazon is not the one storing, packing, and dispatching the product which increases the chances of it being a fake product.

Considering all these factors, we would advise readers to steer clear of Pixel 6 Pros listed on Amazon as they could be a region-locked phone at best and a complete fake at worst.

Apple planned to include Face ID in M1 iMac but didn’t: Report

By

Feb 7, 2022

Apple‘s revamped iMac launched back in mid-2021, bringing with it the new in-house M1 chipset. However, it came missing the much-rumored Face ID featured. Now, the latest Power On newsletter from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has revealed that Apple was actually planning to integrate the feature on the M1 iMac.

The M1 iMac was rumored to come with Face ID due to a 2020 report that found a new extension with codes intended to support “PearlCamera” in the macOS Big Sur Beta 3. Pearl camera is the initial codename used by Apple for TrueDepth camera and Face ID. Codes such as “FaceDetect” and “BioCapture” were found in this extension which is similar to the codes used in iOS for Face ID.

In the latest Power On newsletter, Mark Gurman writes “Face ID was in the cards for the original M1 iMac. Naturally, the iMac is the thickest Mac with a built-in display since Apple’s laptops have fairly thin screens.”

The reporter did not provide any reason due to which Apple held back on providing the feature, however, he states that if Apple decides on releasing it, the feature will likely debut in iMac or an external monitor first.

He states “At this point, the technology to embed Face ID into the thin MacBook displays doesn’t exist. So if Face ID comes to the Mac, I think it will be on an iMac or external monitor first. Apple has definitely been working on this, but time will tell if they launch it.”

So it appears like MacBooks won’t be getting Face ID anytime soon due to technical limitations in shrinking down the Face ID hardware to fit in the thin display panels of the MacBook.

We know that Samsung is also planning to introduce a 4G variant of the Galaxy A13, which may come sooner rather than later according to a recent Bluetooth SIG database sighting.

According to a MySmartPrice report, the Galaxy A13 4G was sighted on the Bluetooth SIG certification database carrying the model number SM-A135F/DSN. The listing did not reveal any of its specifications other than the fact that it will come with Bluetooth 5.0.

However, from earlier Geekbench listings, we know that the Galaxy A13 4G will feature an Exynos 850 SoC with at least 3 GB RAM and will come with Android 12 based OneUI 4.0 out of the box. The South Korean giant will surely release the device in different memory configurations according to the markets.

Other than that, an image leak of its back panel has revealed that the smartphone will come with a quad-camera setup. It will have a 3.5mm audio jack and a USB Type-C and will likely be offered in five color variants namely black, blue, white, grey, and orange.

Oppo Reno7 Z 5G spotted on Geekbench with a Snapdragon chipset

Feb 7, 2022

A few days back, Oppo took wraps off the Reno7 series in the Indian market. The company launched the Reno7 and Reno7 Pro phones in the market. Now, another phone from the series dubbed Oppo Reno7 Z 5G has appeared on the Geekbench portal hinting at a sooner launch.

We already know that the Reno7 Z 5G carries the model number Oppo CPH2343. Now the device has passed Geekbench flaunting 689 single-core points and 1998 multi-core points.

These scores are possible, thanks to an unknown octa-core SoC. The device has a processor codenamed “Holi”, which is believed to be a Snapdragon SoC, possibly the Snapdragon 480+ chipset. The chipset has the first six cores clocked at 1.80Hz and the last two cores clocked at 2.21GHz. Do not that the predecessor has a MediaTek Dimensity 800U chipset.

Apart from the chipset, the phone has 8GB of RAM and boots on Android 11 OS out of the box. The phone’s TUV Rheinland certification confirmed the presence of a 4,500mAh battery inside. It will be supported by a 33W fast charging support. This is a slight upgrade from the 4,310mAh battery and a 30W fast charging seen on the predecessor, Reno6 Z.

Oppo is yet to break the silence on the Oppo Reno7 Z 5G, but considering that the phone is appearing on certification sites more frequently, its release might be closer.

Motorola may be working on a foldable flip phone that bends backwards

By

Feb 7, 2022

Motorola, the brand behind the world’s first flip phone, had recently launched a new foldable smartphone that featured a clamshell design as a homage to the classic flip phones. But now, a new patent reveals that the company might be working on taking the flip phone evolution a step further.

The new patent was spotted on WIPO (World Intellectual Property Organization) a couple of weeks ago and was spotted by PhoneArena. Looking at this patent, the foldable flip phone will have its display bend outwards rather than inward, which is the opposite of the typical clamshell design. In other words, this is a fresh new take in the flip phone category, with both the front and rear sides being covered by the display when folded.

Since its a foldable phone, the device features a flexible screen that can bend backwards from its hinge in the middle. Interestingly, Motorola is only offering a single camera module that is mounted on the upper half of the rear panel. This camera module is raised and will likely act as both the primary and front facing camera since one can just turn the smartphone around and use the folded display on the back to take a selfie.

Keep in mind that this is still just a patent and we have no way of confirming if the American smartphone maker is actually working on such a device. However, with the the launch of the Moto Razr 2019, it is clear that the company is integrating its classic designs with cutting edge technology. So it wouldn’t arrive as a surprise if the next gen Razr features this display.

The Redmi 10 2022 carries the model number 21121119VL. It has scored 367 points in the single-core department and 1253 points in the multi-core department. It is powered by the MediaTek MT6769H SoC. It is believed to be the Helio G88 chipset. The phone has 4GB of RAM and boots on Android 11 out of the box.

Previously, the phone appeared on the Google Play Console listing. It revealed that the Redmi 10 2022 edition has a Full-HD+ display. This is similar to the existing Redmi 10. It was spotted with the same chipset as the one seen on Geekbench but had 6GB of RAM. The 6GB RAM variant could be its top-most configuration other than the 4GB RAM variant.

Its FCC certification confirmed three models – 21121119SG, 22011119UY, and 21121119VL. The middle model was seen with storage options like 64GB and 128GB. The listing revealed MIUI 12.5 and Android 11 OS out of the box.

Earlier, a tipster revealed that the 2022 edition of the phone will have the same camera setup as the existing Redmi 10. He tipped that will come with a 50MP Samsung S5KJN1 or OmniVision OV50C40 primary lens. It will be accompanied by an 8MP Sony IMX355 sensor and a 2MP OmniVision OV02B1B or GC02M1B sensor.

Other than this, rumors are rife that the new Redmi 10 2022 will be a rebranded Redmi Note 11 4G China edition. If it is believed, then we might see a 6.5-inch FHD+ LCD panel with a 90Hz refresh rate. It will pack a 5,000mAh battery with 18W fast charging support. It will have a side-facing fingerprint scanner.
