As of right now, it is unknown which exact models will feature the new chip, but Redmi and Oppo have confirmed that their upcoming handset (Find and K50 series respectively) will feature the Dimensity 9000 SoC. This chip even offers a number of improvements in terms of photography, so the dual primary camera module would likely take advantage of this as well. On the other hand, the tipster also revealed interesting information regarding the Dimensity 8000 chip, which is also set to launch later this year.
Apparently, a Dimensity 8000 powered smartphone will feature a 6.6 inch 120Hz display with 12GB of RAM.

In recent times, boAt has been a major player in the wearable and hearables market in India. The electronics based startup has seen great success with its products and is now gearing up to launch its initial public offering at a valuation of over 1.4 billion US Dollars.
According to an Entrackrreport, the company has also generated revenue that has crossed more than 1,500 crore INR (roughly 203 million US Dollars) in the financial year of 2021. The company’s financial report revealed that its operating revenue surged during this period by around 2.2 times over the same period last year. In the financial year of 2020, the startup brought in just 700.44 crore INR (roughly 95 million US Dollars).
Out of all of its product lines, the wireless earphones and headphones segment were the largest in terms of sales. This category also accounted for 62.7 percent of all of its operating profits in the financial year of 2021. Furthermore, the sales also grew by around 2.5 times, hitting 947.4 crore INR (roughly 128 million US Dollars) in 2021 over just 375.7 crore INR (roughly 50 million US Dollars) from a year prior. Similarly, boAt wireless speakers saw the highest growth overall, with a rise of 2.6 times in 2021.
The wireless speaker category was also the second largest contributor to the brand’s revenue in the last financial year, accounting for 20 percent of its overall revenue. For those unaware, the Indian startup design its products within the country but its manufacturing and assembling is done in China. So, 73 percent of its expenditure is from the expense of procuring its stock. Despite its great performance, only 1 percent of its annual costs went to pay employees’ salaries since it doesn’t have a large team and outsources production and after sales services as well.
The sales of PC were expected to drop in 2021 because of the ongoing global chip shortage but instead of sales dropping, the year witnessed growth in terms of PC shipments globally, reaching 341 million units.
As per the latest report from Canalys, the PC shipments for the year 2021 increased 15 percent compared to 2020 and 27 percent when compared to shipments in 2019. Even though the Q4 2021 numbers were up just 1 percent over the previous year, 2021 was still the best year since 2012.
Ishan Dutt, a senior analyst as Canalys, says in the report: “For the market to post double-digit growth over an impressive 2020, despite the constant cloud of supply constraints, speaks volumes about how strong PC demand has been over the last 12 months.”
Lenovo emerged as the leading brand, capturing 24.1 percent market share while HP closely follows at the second position with a 21.7 percent market share. Dell grabbed the third spot with its 17.4 percent market share.
Apple stands fourth with an 8.5 percent market share but the Cupertino-based technology giant had the largest growth number year-on-year at 28.3 percent. Acer was second with 21.8 percent growth but stands at fifth in terms of shipments with a 7.1 percent share.
It is being reported that the education market may be saturated and the chip shortages are expected to continue into the new year, which could affect the growth. However, Canalys still believes that 2022 will be a strong year for PC sales.
Almost three weeks after it was shut down amid major protests by the employees, the Foxconn plant for Apple iPhone production located in Sriperumbudur near Chennai is now partially reopening.
For those who are returning to work, the company is conducting COVID-19 tests. As per the report, the factory reopened with one shift and 120 workers, adding it would take over two months for the Foxconn plant to produce at full capacity.
The production plant, which employs about 17,000 people and operates three shifts, was closed on 18th December 2021 after 250 workers fell sick with food poisoning, leading to workers organizing protests.
The workers alleged that the food at Foxconn’s dormitories was stale and sometimes crawled with worms. Further, the toilets were unhygienic and inadequate, without running water. Additionally, dozen of them were forced to share small rooms.
After the protests last month, Apple had put the Foxconn production plant on probation, demanding rapid action. The US-based tech giant has said that the plant remains on probation and that it would continue monitoring conditions at workers’ dormitories and dining halls, along with independent auditors.
The facility in question had recently started trial production of the latest iPhone 13 model but now it may get delayed as it is expected to take more than two months for the production to resume at its full capacity.

Apple is working on the next-generation iPhone models and there have been reports about some major changes coming to the upcoming smartphones, especially in terms of display and the phone’s design.
Till now, it was said that the iPhone 14 Pro models will get rid of the notch and will instead have a punch-hole cutout for the front-facing camera while the sensors for the Face ID feature could be hidden behind the screen. Now, reports claim that Apple has opted for a design with two cutouts on top of the screen.
Apple iPhone 14 Pro Render by Ian Zelbo
A new report coming from Ross Young of Display Supply Chain Consultants, who has a good track record with leaks, reveals that the Apple iPhone 14 Pro will have one pill-shaped cutout and another punch-hole cutout for the sensors.
This will be the first time Apple will get rid of the notch for the front-facing sensors since the launch of the iPhone X in 2017. Since then, the company did make some very minor changes to the notch. For instance, the notch on the newer iPhone 13 series is a bit shorter in length than its predecessors.
Apple is expected to launch four models in the lineup, including iPhone 14 with a 6.1-inch screen, iPhone 14 Max with a 6.7-inch display, iPhone 14 Pro with a 6.1-inch display, and iPhone 14 Pro Max with a 6.7-inch screen.
If the reports are to be believed, then the iPhone 14 Pro models will come with a punch-hole cutout for housing the front-facing camera instead of the notch on top of the screen. Apart from that, the devices are expected to come with upgraded camera configuration as well as display features and processing.
As for the pricing, recent rumors indicate that the iPhone 14 Pro will start at $1,099 while the Pro Max will have a starting price of $1,199. However, the standard iPhone 14 model is expected to have the same starting price of $799, similar to its predecessor.
2022 just started and two Chinese giants already released their new flagships. We are talking about Realme and OnePlus: the former came up with the Realme GT 2 Pro announced in China on January 4, while the latter unveiled the OnePlus 10 Pro yesterday, on January 10. We can say that these two handsets are definitely the most powerful smartphones released in 2022 until now. We naturally excluded the Xiaomi 12 Pro and the Motorola Edge X30 because they debuted in the last month of 2021. After comparing the OnePlus 10 Pro and the Xiaomi 12 Pro, we decided to publish a specs comparison between the OnePlus 10 Pro and the Realme GT 2 Pro in order to give you the most complete panorama about the fastest flagships out there.

Design
There are two color options of the Realme GT 2 Pro which let it look a lot more interesting than the OnePlus 10 Pro in terms of design. We are talking about the Paper Green and the Paper White color options, which are made of a special bio-polymer resembling the touch and feel of the real paper. It is a sustainable material that reduces CO2 emissions and makes the phone look unique without saying goodbye to great durability. The OnePlus 10 Pro has an amazing curved screen, but the rear side is a traditional piece of glass with a huge camera module. It is protected by Gorilla Glass Victus by Corning but, unlike its predecessor, it is not a waterproof phone as it does not feature the IP68 certification.
Display
The displays of the OnePlus 10 Pro and the Realme GT 2 Pro have the same main specifications, so it is essentially a draw if we only compare the two panels. These AMOLED panels have a diagonal of 6.7 inches and sport the LTPO2 technology enabling an adaptive refresh rate from 1 to 120 Hz and lower energy consumption compared to the previous generation of LTPO panels. The displays come with a Quad HD+ resolution of 1440 x 3216 pixels, they can show up to one billion colors and they support the HDR10+ certification. There are also the Gorilla Glass Victus protection for the front glass and an in-display fingerprint reader. Great flagship-class display, nothing negative to say about them.
Specs & Software
Just like the displays, even the hardware departments are the same. The OnePlus 10 Pro and the Realme GT 2 Pro are powered by the best mobile platform in the smartphone market: the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. It is an octa-core processor built at 4 nm with a max frequency of 3 GHz and a powerful Cortex-X2 CPU, paired with up to 12 GB of RAM. Note that the max amount of internal storage for the OnePlus 10 Pro is 256 GB, while the Realme GT 2 Pro goes up to 512 GB. The OnePlus 10 Pro runs Android 12 customized by ColorOS 12.1 and it will run OxygenOS 12 in the global market, while the Realme GT 2 Pro runs Android 12 and Realme UI 3.0 which is almost the same thing because the Realme UI 3.0 is based on ColorOS. But the Realme GT 2 Pro is supposed to receive just two years of major Android updates, while the OnePlus 10 Pro will get three major Android versions.
Camera
The OnePlus 10 Pro seems to have a more interesting camera setup for a single reason: it has a telephoto sensor with 3.3x optical zoom. Unfortunately, the Realme GT 2 Pro lacks a telephoto camera and it is replaced by a less impressive 3 MP microscope sensor with up to 40x magnification, similar to the one found on the OPPO Find X3 Pro.
The OnePlus 10 Pro and the Realme GT 2 Pro have the same battery capacity of 5000 mAh, but the OnePlus 10 Pro provides faster charging speeds thanks to its 80W fast charging technology. Further, it supports wireless charging (with a power of 50W), unlike its rival.
Price
OnePlus 10 Pro starts from €650/$744 in China, while Realme GT 2 Pro begins at €542/$620. The OnePlus 10 Pro wins the comparison thanks to its telephoto camera and wireless charging, but the Realme GT 2 Pro can let you save money with its affordable price.
