OnePlus has already launched its latest flagship smartphone in China — the OnePlus 10 Pro. The company is yet to bring the device to the global markets and the launch of the standard OnePlus 10 is also pending.
Amid this, there’s a new report which claims that the OPPO-backed company is now gearing up to launch a new variant of the smartphone, dubbed OnePlus 10R, sometime in the second quarter of this year.
If the reports are to be believed, then the OnePlus 10R will come powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 chipset. This is the same processor that is expected to power the upcoming OPPO Find X5 smartphone.
Based on the report from Android Central, the OnePlus 10 won’t be powered by the Dimensity 9000 because of its lack of mmWave connectivity support for 5G, which makes it unsuitable for the North American market.
As for the OnePlus 10R, the device R-suffix offering from the company is limited to the Asian markets, so it’s possible for OnePlus to use the Dimensity 9000 in this device.
It appears that OnePlus is now trying to use more MediaTek chips for its budget, mid-range, or upper mid-range offerings. Till 2021, the company was exclusively using Qualcomm Snapdragon chips but that changed last year with the Nord 2 launch.
As for the other specifications of the OnePlus 10R, the smartphone is expected to feature an AMOLED display that will offer a 120Hz refresh rate. Internally, it will pack at least 8GB of RAM and have 128GB of internal storage. More details are not yet available but we expect to know more in the coming weeks or months.
A few days ago we learned that the OnePlus 10 Pro will probably be launched in the global market in February. But it won’t be alone: the next month will be one of the most important of the year because a lot of flagships will debut globally. One of them is the Motorola Edge X30, rumored to soon hit the global market under the Motorola Edge 30 Pro moniker. Both these flagships are equipped with the most powerful Qualcomm chipset and they feature amazing specs sheets: are you wondering which one offers the highest value for money in the Chinese market? We will try to let you find out through this comparison between the OnePlus 10 Pro and Motorola Edge X30.

Design
The design of the OnePlus 10 Pro is very original: you will either love it or hate it. But if it matches your tastes, then this device will be aesthetically amazing. It comes with premium materials including a glass back protected by Gorilla Glass and an aluminum frame, as well as an elegantly curved screen with the Gorilla Glass Victus protection and very narrow bezels. The Motorola Edge X30 has a glass back as well, but its design is less impressive with its flat display and a less original rear cover. However, it has a water-repellent coating which may turn useful for those who often use their phones in the rain. The dimensions, thickness, and weight of these phones are very similar.
Display
The best display belongs to the OnePlus 10 Pro. It is an amazing AMOLED panel with LTPO 2.0 technology providing an adaptive refresh rate from 1 to 120 Hz and very low energy consumption. The display shows up to one billion colors with the HDR10+ certification and a Quad HD+ resolution of 1440 x 3216 pixels. It includes the Gorilla Glass Victus protection and an in-display fingerprint reader. The only advantage provided by the Motorola Edge X30 is a higher 144 Hz refresh rate, but for the rest, it is an inferior display. We are talking about an OLED panel with one billion colors, the HDR10+ certification, and a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels which does not include an in-display fingerprint reader (it is side-mounted).
Specs & Software
There are no differences between the hardware departments of the OnePlus 10 Pro and the Motorola Edge X30. They are both equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 mobile platform running at a max frequency of 3 GHz and built at 4 nm. Even the memory configurations are the same: you get either 8 or 12 GB of RAM and 128 or 256 GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage. The important difference is the software: the former runs Android 12 customized by ColorOS 12 which is a better user interface if compared to the MYUI found on the Motorola Edge X30. Further, it may get longer software support with three years of major Android updates.
Camera
The OnePlus 10 Pro is undoubtedly a better camera phone, even though the Motorola Edge X30 features great cameras. The OnePlus 10 Pro comes with a 48 MP main sensor with omnidirectional autofocus and OIS, an 8 MP telephoto camera with 3.3x optical zoom and OIS, and a 50 MP ultrawide camera. With the Motorola flagship, you get an amazing 50 MP main camera and even a 50 MP camera just like its rival, but it lacks a telephoto lens and replaces it with a useless 2 MP macro camera. On the other hand, it has a better selfie camera with a 60 MP resolution.
The battery capacities of these devices are exactly the same (5000 mAh), but the OnePlus 10 Pro will likely last more on a single charge because of its LTPO 2.0 technology and the adaptive refresh rate. Further, it is able to charge quicker thanks to 80W fast charging. Last but not least, unlike its rival, it features 50W wireless charging.
Price
You need just €420/$477 to purchase the base variant of the Motorola Edge X30, while the OnePlus 10 Pro starts from €650/$738. The OnePlus flagship wins the comparison because it offers a better display, superior cameras, faster charging, and wireless charging. But Motorola released a phone with a higher value for money thanks to a very affordable price.
Italian car design firm Pininfarina has unveiled its latest heavy-duty all-electric autonomous truck with a beautiful and expansive design. The design of the Xingtu reflects a vigorous reliance on cutting-edge technology to produce a truck that will provide comfort to both the environment and its driver. The Pininfarina Xingtu electric truck is specifically designed for DeepWay, a smart truck company and it is a semi-autonomous vehicle. It is targeting long-haul logistic operations and cargo deliveries in a sustainable and safe manner.
The Pininfarina Xingtu electric truck is primed to improve cargo transportation efficiency in a sustainable manner to the environment while also providing drivers the needed comforts akin to what they might expect at home. DeepWay was formed in 2020 and it has the backing of Chinese internet powerhouse Baidu. Pininfarina was commissioned by DeepWay to design the Xingtu concept semi-autonomous truck, which comes with an extensive lineup of features and gadgets. These include 11 onboard cameras, a LIDAR sensor, radars, infra-red detectors, and other components that provide excellent navigation for the truck. The Xingtu is capable of detecting obstacles 1 km away and providing a proper response for such obstacles.
The design of the complex semi-autonomous all-electric truck was accomplished by Pininfarina Shanghai. The company’s Head of Design, Matteo Piguzzi stated that heavy-duty trucks are rapidly evolving to adapt to a fast-changing environment with technology-driven innovations for seamless operations and enhanced safety. The efficiency and aerodynamics technology deployed in the Xingtu reflects in its aesthetically appealing exterior which is streamlined for autonomous driving.
The 450kWh battery of the Xingtu gives it a range of 300km, but this can be massively scaled because the battery pack is easily swappable. The battery can also be fully charged in one hour. The interior of the Xingtu is another area of innovation and technology. The large display screen is an infotainment hub, and the experience is further accentuated with expansive and ultra-comfortable seats, and a voice assistant to enable prompt actions. There are no details as of now however on the possible release date for the Xingtu. Pininfarina could provide such details subsequently.
Google Pay is a digital payment service that has gained popularity in markets like India. And now the search giant is planning to make it even more compelling by adding features like crypto payments.
In a new Bloomberg report, Google’s president of commerce Bill Ready stated that Google has hired former PayPal executive Arnold Goldberg as part of a company-wide push into financial services, including crypto. Arnold Goldberg has been recruited to become the vice president and general manager for the payments and emerging market efforts — an initiative Google calls Next Billion Users, or NBU.
So far, Google has not confirmed its plans to include support for crypto payments in its digital wallet app. However, Ready stated that “Crypto is something we pay a lot of attention to. As user demand and merchant demand evolves, we’ll evolve with it.”
This indicates that we may see Google include this feature in their wallet if the crypto market evolves and demand for the feature rises.
Ready also revealed that Google will be adding more features to Google Pay soon to make it a more “comprehensive digital wallet”. Some of these upcoming features include digital ticket support, airline passes, and vaccine passports.
These new efforts come after Google shelved its plans to add bank accounts to its payment app. The project included a revamp of the app which would enable users to apply for “Plex” checking and savings accounts from 11 banks but the search giant scrapped it in October 2021.

Realme’s upcoming 9 lineup is in the talks lately. Earlier, the series’ pricing was tipped, later we got to see the specs of the Realme 9 Pro+. Now, a detailed specs sheet of the Realme 9 Pro has surfaced on the Internet taking us closer to its release.

Apple stopped packing EarPods inside iPhone boxes long ago but France continued to get them for a long time. What made Apple do this is the legal requirement related to radio-frequency energy which makes headphones a necessary item and needs to be included in the box with smartphones. However, this law has now been changed.
According to a new report by MacRumors, starting January 24, 2022, Apple will no longer provide EarPods in the box when you purchase a new iPhone. The law which previously compelled Apple to include a “handsfree kit,” with their smartphones has now been changed in favor of reducing the environmental footprint of digital devices.
Apple had made the environment-friendly move back in 2020 when they stopped including EarPods and the charging brick with the iPhone 12, significantly reducing the size of its box.
This new law is not only applicable to apple but all the smartphone manufacturers in France as it no longer forces them to include headphones in the box. Instead, they just need to ensure that compatible headphones are available separately as an optional accessory.
The French carrier Frac has posted a notice in their store stating: “DEAR CUSTOMERS, We would like to inform you that our manufacturers are no longer required to supply headphones/hands-free kits with their smartphones in France. This new law, adopted in late 2021, aims to reduce the environmental footprint in France.
The Xiaomi brand is concerned, for products purchased from the week of January 17, 2022. The same will be true for the Apple brand as of from the week of January 24, 2022
THANK YOU FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING”
For now, Apple’s French website continues to show EarPods an included item in the box alongside a USB-C to Lightning cable which is likely to change soon.
Apple’s environment-friendly initiative, although controversial, is becoming standard practice in the premium smartphone segment. However, some regions have pushed back against it with Brazil fining the Cupertino tech giant $1.9 million in March 2021 for not including chargers in the iPhone 12. After which the company was forced to offer chargers to anyone requesting it.

Back in December 2021,Lenovo was the first phone manufacturer to ship Qualcomm’s latest and greatest, theSnapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset on its flagshipMoto Edge X30. However, camera performance for the device was quite average compared to the competition (our Edge X30 review here), but Lenovo is looking to improve the phone’s camera performance in its next update.
The news came from Lenovo’s Senior Product Manager in China, Chen Jin. Chen, under his Weibo username “Amazing Bro”, confirmed that the Moto Edge X30 will be receiving a major software update byLenovo before the Lunar New Year(February 1, 2022), hinting that the update will be available to users before January ends.
Lenovo Senior Product Manager commenting on the upcoming new entry to the Moto Edge X30 family
As for the features that the upcoming major software update will bring, Chen mentions that the Moto Edge X30 will sport improved camera software than the current camera software on the MotoEdge X30 and the video recording on the new camera software is described as jaw-dropping. Chen also shared that the new update will include support for video recordings in higher fps, allowing for smoother movements in videos.
As for security improvements, Chen emphasizes that the Moto Edge X30 will now have a new “Privacy Space” mode after the major update. Chen did not mention the highlights of this new mode, but the mode may work similar toXiaomi’s Second Space, where the phone allows you to use 2 totally different spaces on your phone — one for work and one for leisure purposes with games, social media, and video-sharing platforms.
In the post, Chen also brings his regret that the software team was not able to develop a solution for a more stock Android-like notification center and notification shade, becauseLenovo wanted to release the major update before the Lunar New Year. The update will roll out to Moto Edge X30 devices in China by the end of January 2022.
As for the hardware on the Moto Edge X30, it features a 6.7″ OLED HDR10+ display and comes with 8GB / 12 GB RAM and 128GB / 256GB internal storage.

iPhone 13 Pro series
According to a 9To5Mac report, known analyst Jeff Pu stated that the Cupertino based giant is apparently in talks with Lante Optics. Lante is expected to be the main supplier of periscope lenses that will be used in the 2023 iPhone lineup. The analyst claims that Apple has already started receiving component samples and has yet to approve the new parts, but the final approval should arrive sometime by May 2022.
In other words, the approval for the components means that the high end Pro models of 2023 iPhone will feature optical zoom lens. Notably, this deal will likely have Lante Optics supply the iPhone maker with more than 100 million parts for its products. Interestingly, this information is also in line with our previous reports that also hinted at the iPhone 15 Pro sporting a zoom lens. Although, the latest rumors hints at a 5x optical zoom which is half of the last report that suggested a 10x optical zoom.

The past rumor was also from a known Apple analyst, Ming-Chi Kuo, so these reports are in conflict with each other regarding the exact capabilities. Although, the inclusion of a periscopic zoom lens is still common between the two. Unfortunately, it is still too early to know for sure regarding Apple’s plans for the iPhone 15 series. So stick around for more updates.

Finally, the report also says that the device will indeed launch before the end of this month. Additionally, it also confirms that the smartphone will be powered by a MediaTek Dimensity chipset.
Going by the previous report, the Vivo Y75 5G with model number V2142 will house a MediaTek Dimensity 700 SoC. It will feature a 50MP triple camera setup on the rear. This system may include a wide-angle shooter, an ultra-wide unit, and a depth sensor.
Like the recently launched vivo V23 series, this one will also ship with Android 12. Last but not least, it will be backed by a 5,000mAh battery with support for 18W fast charging.
We expect Vivo to start teasing the Vivo Y75 5G on social media in the coming days.
Apple is expected to set a new record in terms of revenue in the final quarter of 2021 thanks to improvements in iPhone production and the performance of its various services.
The information comes from Morgan Stanley lead analyst Katy Huberty (via Apple Insider) who further reports that she expects total revenue of $122.3 billion for Q4 2021, with a gross margin of 41.9% and earnings-per-share (EPS) of $1.97.
The prediction is 3% ahead of Wall Street’s figures for the same because of a number of promising data points including lesser manufacturing disruptions and strong demand in markets like China.
Huberty also believes that the iPhone lineup mostly outperformed consensus estimates, selling 83 million units in the December quarter. Her Mac estimates are a bit ahead of the consensus as well, although the iPad shipment forecast has been reduced from 17 million units to 14.9 million units.
As for Services, the analyst believes that Apple will report revenue of $19.2 billion, which means massive YoY growth of 21.7%. The reason for this is strong App Store growth in Q4 2021 along with notable growth in the company’s licensing segment that also includes Google’s search engine payments to Apple.
For the first quarter of 2022, Huberty expects a total of 55 million units of iPhone units sold, which is slightly ahead of what build numbers would suggest.
