Earlier today, Samsung officially announced the Galaxy S21 FE. Just like the reports stated, the smartphone arrives with two different chipsets depending on the market it is sold in. Samsung has even revealed which markets get what silicon but not in a detailed manner.

Samsung Galaxy S21 FE All Colors — Samsung Galaxy S21 FE

According to a report by SamMobile, the South Korean tech giant has confirmed that the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chip in the US as well as Europe. For the unaware, the latter region usually gets the Exynos variant.

This is not the first time a flagship Galaxy product is coming with a Qualcomm chipset in Europe. The last year’s Galaxy S20 FE 5G also featured the SoC from the US-based chipmaker in Europe. However, the original Galaxy S20 and the Galaxy S21 models feature Exynos silicon.

As far as other regions are concerned, there is a Galaxy S21 FE variant with ‘E’ in its model number. SamMobile points out that this version will house the Exynos 2100 SoC. The publication also says that Samsung will be offering this variant in most Asian countries.

But unfortunately, the exact regions that will be receiving the Exynos version are not known at the moment. We expect to learn more about them once Samsung starts revealing the availability of the handset in those markets.

As the OnePlus 10 Pro design has been revealed, OnePlus has finally reconfirmed the launch event of its highly anticipated OnePlus 10 Pro. It will be happening on January 11th at 2PM CST in China.

As shown in the promotional poster below, the official slogan for the OnePlus 10 Pro is “bringing 10 to the name”, a pun of a Chinese saying, “bringing fame to the name”. 10 is seen as the perfect 10/10 score for many sports such as diving, gymnastics, and 10-pin bowling, and OnePlus is trying to imply that the OnePlus 10 Pro is going to bring perfection to the flagship smartphone space, and will be solidifying the OnePlus brand name in the premium smartphone category.

At the same time, Pete Lau, founder of OnePlus, has also gone to Weibo to share his excitement of the announcement with fellow OnePlus fans as well!

Pete shares that in 2022, the OnePlus brand has been established for 9 years, and the OnePlus community is now spanning across 50 countries with 1.4 million active users worldwide. As once called the “flagship killers” in the industry, he shares that OnePlus wants to challenge itself further, with a truly 10/10 premium flagship, to be worthy to be called a “perfect flagship”.

He mentions that to create a “perfect flagship”, one must follow a 10 point rule, whereby 3 points go into the specs of the product and 7 points go to the finish and polish of the product. He said that this mission has been accomplished with the 10th iteration of the OnePlus flagship, the OnePlus 10 Pro. Despite that, he mentions that the OnePlus 10 Pro will still have the top of the specs within its class, albeit with a more refined finish for OnePlus’ first truly ultra-premium smartphone.

Jan 4, 2022

Oppo kickstarted last year with the launch of the Oppo A93 5G smartphone in China. Soon after that, the company unveiled the Oppo A94 in multiple markets in both 4G and 5G variants. Later the company launched the Oppo A95 5G and 4G models in China and Malaysia. Now, Oppo seems to be gearing up to launch the successor Oppo A96 5G soon as new renders of the phone have emerged on the Internet.

Thanks to @evleaks, we now have a clear look at the upcoming Oppo A96 5G. As per the images, the smartphone features a pristine look at the rear. It has a dual-camera system that looks much cleaner.

The camera island isn’t the obvious black like the predecessor, rather it is of the same colour as the back panel. The phone has an LED flashlight and a 5G branding besides the lenses.

Upfront, it has a punch-hole panel with thin bezels on all three sides except for the bottom. At the bottom, it has a thick chin. The phone seems to have an earpiece at the top, a power button on the right spin; and volume buttons, sim-card tray on the left.

The smartphone looks somewhat similar to the recently teased Oppo Reno7 series, Realme 9i, and the already available Realme GT Neo 2. The renders also confirm its color variants – Black, Pink, Blue Gradient(a mix of Blue & Purple).

Apart from this, the Oppo A96 5G may come with an AMOLED screen and could be powered by a mid-range 5G SoC. As of now, the specs for the phone are unknown but we may hear more about the phone soon.

Apple iPhone 15 Pro to sport Periscope Lens with 10x Optical Zoom: Report

Jan 4, 2022

An analyst has just revealed interesting information regarding the 2023 Apple iPhone series. Apparently, one of the models within the iPhone 15 series will feature a periscope camera lens that offers improved zoom capabilities.

Apple iPhone-14-renders-Jon-Prosser — iPhone 14 Pro

According to a MacRumors report, analyst Jeff Pu stated that the iPhone 15 Pro might feature a periscope camera system, which would enable the company to fit a longer telephoto setup inside the device. Additionally, this would also allow users to zoom in even further without losing quality. The Cupertino based giant has been rumored to include a periscope lens on its iPhones for a while now, with first mentions of it arriving from a known Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo back in 2020.

It was previously reported that the iPhone 14 Pro would feature this camera technology. But now, the latest report hints that the wait for this might be a whole year longer. As of right now, the current premium grade flagship iPhone 13 series offers 3x optical zoom on the Pro models.

But with the next gen models, the iPhone might be able to offer optical zoom up to 10x, which would have it rival top end Android phones in the market. Keep in mind that this is still an unconfirmed report so take it with a pinch of salt for now. It is still too early to tell if the company is actually going to include this camera sensor in the iPhone 15 series, which is almost two years away.

The OPPO Reno7 series was tipped to launch in January in India. Now, as we have entered the said month, more details about the phone’s release in the country have emerged. Let’s check out what the new information has to say.

OPPO Reno7 Pro Review Cameras — OPPO Reno7 Pro

According to Mukul Sharma (via MySmartPrice), the OPPO Reno7 series will launch in India either at the end of January or early February. Only two models are expected, namely OPPO Reno7 and OPPO Reno7 Pro.

Apart from revealing a possible launch timeline, the tech influencer has also shared a promotional poster of the series for India. The screenshot of the OPPO Store app showcases the OPPO Reno7 Pro but doesn’t mention its name.

Going by a previous report, the OPPO Reno7 will cost between ₹28,000 and ₹31,000 in India. On the other hand, the OPPO Reno7 Pro will retail around ₹41,000-₹43,000.

This means the handsets could be costlier than their predecessors. For the unaware, the OPPO Reno6 and the OPPO Reno6 Pro debuted at ₹29,990 and ₹39,990 respectively in India.

Anyway, we think that the smartphones will probably cost the same as their forerunners, however, we could be wrong. That’s because the newer models come with a revamped design and some changes in specs. Hence, a price bump is possible.

OnePlus 10 Pro in Pictures: You’ll either LOVE or HATE this design

Jan 4, 2022

Earlier today (4th January 2022), the official launch date for the highly anticipated OnePlus 10 Pro was finally revealed. But prior to its release, a company executive has officially revealed live images of the Pro model in all its glory. So let’s take a look at the upcoming flagship smartphone.

Pete Lau, the Founder of OnePlus, shared multiple images of the OnePlus 10 Pro on his official Weibo account (a Chinese microblogging website). Looking at these images, we can observe that the device will be available in at least a Green and Black variant. But while the color and design seem quite elegant, there is one aspect of the device that stands out, which is its unusually large rear camera module.

At a glance, it appears as if the module alone takes up around a quarter of the entire rear panel. This is definitely an exaggeration, but the large black module does take away from the overall elegant design. Furthermore, it is unclear how tall the camera bump will be on the rear. The Chinese smartphone maker’s official also acknowledges that the reception of the OnePlus 10 series’ design has been mixed, with some loving the radical new design while others even hating the redesign.

Looking at the OnePlus 10 Pro from the rear, it might even seem that the device’s camera is like a modular add on. However, we have to admit that the green model looks quite beautiful and premium, which is arguably even better than the black model. So let us know in the comments section down below how you feel about the OnePlus 10 Pro’s design. Also, stay tuned for more, as we will be covering any leaks and the January 11 launch event as well.

With the OnePlus 10 series launch being just around the corner, a new report has surfaced which hints at one of the variants in the flagship lineup. Apparently, the company will be launching one model within its latest high end series that features the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 SoC.

The news arrives from MySmartPrice and known tipster Yogesh Brar.
