Huawei P50 Pocket foldable flip phone launched with 6.9 inch 120Hz Display — a Premium Galaxy Z Flip3 rival

Dec 23, 2021

Huawei has just announced a new number of its new products in its launch event earlier today (23rd December 2021). But, the highlight of this conference was undoubtedly its new P50 Pocket flip phone, which is the company’s latest foldable smartphone that arrives with a number of interesting features. So lets check it out.

Design and Display

With the P50 Pocket, the Chinese tech giant placed an emphasis on a premium design and build quality. It arrives in a White and Premium Gold variant (in the overseas market) with the former featuring a diamond like aesthetic while the Gold variant has specially made by a prominent haute couture designer, Iris Van Herpen. Both variants feature an advanced 3D micro sculpted design on the back, which also houses a circular camera module and the round Cover Screen that can display notification and other crucial information from a variety of supported apps.

Arriving at the front, the device sports a 6.9 inch OLED display that has a 21:9 aspect ratio, 442ppi pixel density, support 1.07 billion colors and P3 wide color gamut. The display even offers a 120Hz refresh rate with a 300Hz touch sampling rate as well. A notable aspect of the entire design is its Multi Dimensional Hinge which has an even shorter radius than its predecessors. The company’s R&D team spent years developing this key part of the phone, through which it offers a clamshell like inward folding design.

Camera

When talking about foldable smartphones, the display and its related aspects usually take center stage while the camera more or less feels like an after thought. However, Huawei sought to change this outlook with the P50 Pocket that offers quite a unique photography experience. Its houses a 40 megapixel True Chroma camera, alongside a 13 megapixel ultra wide angle lens, and a 32 megapixel Ultra Spectrum camera that is paired with a 10 channel Multi Spectrum sensor and an Ultra Spectrum illuminator. While the primary and wide angle lens are nothing out of the ordinary, the tertiary sensor is what adds that innovative punch.

The company’s latest breakthrough in camera technology is Ultra Spectrum camera and its related sensors that allows it to offer improved image reproduction and capture minute details that help in producing clearer images even in the dark. Although, its key function is the new Ultra Spectrum Fluorescence Photography mode that lets users capture content and details that cannot be seen by the naked eye. In other words, it opens up a new world of patterns and colors that is otherwise unseen. This sensor can even be used practically to determine whether a user has properly applied sunscreen on their face to avoid sunburns.

Specifications

Under the hood, the Huawei P50 Pocket features a 4,000mAh battery pack that supports 40W SuperCharge fast charging. It feature Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 888 SoC, but only offer 4G support. Other features include up to 12GB of RAM and 512GB of internal storage, Wi-Fi 6, face unlock from the front and back camera, and a side mounted fingerprint scanner as well. The device weighs just 190 grams and is 7.2mm thick when unfolded and 15.2mm thick when folded.

Pricing and Availability

The P50 Pocket is available in three colors, namely Black, Diamond White, and Premium Gold Edition. However, only the last two will be available in the overseas market. The pricing starts from 8988 Yuan (roughly 1,410 US Dollars) for the 8GB + 256GB model and goes up to 10,988 Yuan (roughly 1,725 US Dollars) for the Premium Gold Edition that offers 12GB + 512GB storage configuration. The sale of the device starts later today.

Dec 23, 2021

ASUS announced the ROG Phone 5 series in early March. The vanilla ROG Phone 5 went on sale in India the very next month in April. Over nine months later, the company finally reveals when the ROG Phone 5 Ultimate will be available for purchase in the country.

ASUS ROG Phone 5 Ultimate Featured — ASUS ROG Phone 5 Ultimate

The ROG Phone 5 Ultimate is the most expensive model in the ROG Phone 5 series. This device features a whopping 18GB LPDDR5 RAM and 512GB UFS 3.1 storage.

It also comes with two additional touch sensors on the rear like the Pro model. The smartphone arrives in a single white color option with a matte finish and a monochrome ROG Vision screen to match the body’s hue.

The ROG Phone 5 Ultimate is priced at ₹79,999 ($1,063) in India. It will go on sale for the first time at 12 PM on December 26. The handset will be sold exclusively on Flipkart.

We recommend interested people to order the smartphone as soon as the sale starts. That’s because ROG Phones always go out of stock within a short period of time in India. ASUS is known for offering only a few units for sale in the region.

Unfortunately, the Taiwanese PC maker is yet to make any announcement regarding the launch of ZenFone 8 in the country.

LG DualUp monitor announced with an ultra-tall 16:18 aspect ratio

Dec 23, 2021

Nowadays, we are seeing new monitors getting launched in the market with a different aspect ratio than the traditional 16:9. For instance, there are 32:9 monitors in the market while Apple’s MacBook Pro now features a 14:9 display.

LG is now going a step further and has launched the LG DualUp Monitor with model number 28Q780, making it the world’s first display to come with a 16:18 aspect ratio.

The LG DualUp monitor isn’t really square in shape but has maintained a width of 2560 pixels. While 32:8 monitors are for replacing the two side-by-side monitor setup, this new 16:18 monitor for LG aims to replace two 2560 x 1440 pixel LCDs placed one above another which is used by creators and coders.

Given that the company is not targeting gamers or media enthusiasts, there’s nothing above average in terms of the display. It comes with a 2560 x 2880 pixels screen resolution, 300-nits brightness, and 1000:1 contrast ratio.

Further, the monitor comes with the standard 60Hz refresh rate and offers a 5ms GtG response time. It only supports 98% DCI-P3 color gamut and the LCD panel also comes with HDR10 support.

It comes with one DisplayPort, two HDMI, and one USB-C input with up to 96W power delivery port. It also supports a vertical split view function that lets users use it with two PCs. There’s also a dual-port USB hub and two 7W speakers co-designed with MaxxAudio.

The LG DualUp monitor is mounted on an ultra-adjustable LG Ergo stand that is securely clamped to a desk and can adjust the height, tilt, swivel, and even pivot. The company has also revealed that it will be available in 2022.

Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra official promo image emerges for the first time, no sight of ‘Note’ branding

Dec 23, 2021

The much-awaited Samsung Galaxy S22 series launch inches closer with each passing day and new details about it keep popping up. Most of the specifications of the lineup are already known by now and there have not only been unofficial renders but also leaked live images of some of the devices. However, official marketing material has been missing – something that has now changed.

LetsGoDigital has managed to get their hands on an official promo image from the company revealing the rear of both the Galaxy S22 Ultra and S22+ phones, even as their launch is still over a month away. The leak’s source chooses to remain anonymous so its origin has not been revealed.

Regardless, the promo image has officially confirmed the rear of the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, showing off its highly versatile quad rear camera setup for the very first time. All of the camera lenses get islands of their own and aren’t fitted into any camera module, resulting in a unique yet minimal look.

The official render also shows off the S Pen for the first time in black. In the image, its tip has been painted rose gold-ish, which is the exact color of the S22 Ultra as well, making it most likely that the tip of the S Pen will complement the color of the phone it will be shipped with for a more consistent look.

All in all, the promo image sits perfectly in line with previous leaks. Also revealed was that the Galaxy S22 Ultra will indeed be called so as the image doesn’t mention any alternate names like Galaxy S22 Note that had been circulating of late.

As for the front of the flagship phone, well, it still remains to be teased officially. LetsGoDigital did earlier reveal that the selfie camera will be housed within a waterdrop notch though, so that’s something new. Its predecessor S21 Ultra, in contrast, had opted for a center-aligned punch-hole cutout.

Last but not the least, the leaked image also shows off the Samsung Galaxy S22+ for the first time, in white, revealing that its camera lenses protrude far less than they did on the S21 and S21+.

The entirety of the Samsung Galaxy S22 series is expected to officially make its debut in mid-February 2022, so stay tuned.

Dec 23, 2021

Xiaomi 12, the compact flagship phone, is scheduled to launch with Xiaomi 12X and Xiaomi 12 Pro handsets on Dec. 28 in China. While the Chinese manufacturer is confirming the key specs of the Xiaomi 12 series, a new leak that has surfaced courtesy of tipster Panda is Bald, has revealed the entire specifications and pricing of the vanilla model.

Xiaomi 12 Specifications (Rumored)

The Xiaomi 12 poster reveals that it has a 6.28-inch AMOLED display that offers a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels, a 120Hz refresh rate, 10-bit colors, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and 16000-level brightness. The device measures 69.9mm diagonally and weighs 180 grams.

While it is not mentioned in the poster, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC will power the Xiaomi 12. It will be accompanied by LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 storage. It has a 4,500mA lithium cobalt oxide battery that supports 67W fast charging and 30W wireless charging. It offers connectivity features like NFC, IR blaster, Bluetooth 5.2, Wi-Fi 6 enhanced version, and 5G. It is also equipped with X-axis linear motor.

The leak has no information on the front camera of the Xiaomi 12. Its rear-facing triple camera unit has an OIS-enabled 50-megapixel 1/1.28-inch main camera with an f/1.9 aperture, a 13-megapixel ultrawide camera with a 123-degree FOV, and a third camera that supports OIS, 3x optical zoom, 10x hybrid zoom, and 30x digital zoom. The device runs on MIUI 13.

Xiaomi 12 Pricing (Rumored)

The Xiaomi 12 is listed in three variants in the new leak. The 8 GB RAM + 128 GB storage is priced at 3,699 Yuan (~$581), the 8 GBR AM + 256 GB storage model costs 3,999 Yuan (~$628), and the 12 GB RAM + 256 GB storage variant is listed for 4,399 Yuan (~$690).

The image shown in the poster is the Xiaomi 12 renders by OnLeaks. While some details mentioned in the image appears to be correct, the entire poster looks fake. Hence, readers are advised to digest the leak with a pinch of salt. It is likely that the Xiaomi 12 will be lower than the pricing mentioned in the poster.

Dec 23, 2021

The Samsung Galaxy S21 FE is anticipated to go official at CES 2022. The device may hit the shelves on January 11 in the US. Ahead of that, the phone now emerges in a hands-on video.

Instagram user @habla.concamilo has shared (via SamMobile) a short hands-on video of the yet-to-release Galaxy S21 FE video. The video showcases the handset in the violet color option. For the unaware, the phone will be available in three more colors – green, gray, and white.

The video confirms that the smartphone will have a matte finish on the rear, unlike Galaxy S20 FE, which has a glossy texture. It appears to be the same plastic material found on the mid-range Galaxy A series. Hopefully, the material is as good as the one found on the vanilla Galaxy S21 as the A series has a thinner and flimsy back panel.

As far as specs are concerned, the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE is expected to arrive with a 6.4-inch FHD+ 120Hz AMOLED display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 or Exynos 2100 (depending on regions), 6GB/8GB RAM, 128GB/256GB storage, 12MP (wide) + 12MP (ultra-wide) + 8MP (3x telephoto) triple rear camera setup, and 32MP selfie camera.

The remaining features of the headset will include an in-screen fingerprint sensor, IP68 rating for dust and water resistance, Android 12, 4,500mAh battery, 25W fast wired charging, 15W fast wireless charging, and reverse wireless charging.

Reports have revealed that the Vivo V23 5G with model number V2130 have been approved by certification platforms such as India’s BIS and Malaysia’s SIRIM. Reports suggest that the V23 5G will be similar to the Vivo V23e 5G, but it will pack better cameras and a chipset.

The Vivo V23 Pro appears to be a tweaked version of the Vivo S12 Pro, which came with specs like a 6.44-inch AMOLED 90Hz display, Dimensity 1200 chipset, up to 12 GB of LPDDR4x RAM, up to 256 GB of UFS 3.1 storage, 50-megapixel (primary) + 8-megapixel (ultrawide) dual selfie cameras, 108-megapixel (main) + 8-megapixel (ultrawide) + 2-megapixel (macro) triple rear cameras, a 4,300mAh battery with 44W fast charging, and an in-screen fingerprint scanner.

The Samsung Galaxy S22 series is expected to make its debut in early February. However, a new rumor from South Korea now says that the handsets will probably release later than the stipulated timeline. Let’s take a look at the reason behind the delay.

A post on Naver (via SamMobile) states that Samsung has postponed the launch of the Galaxy S22 series. The successor of the Galaxy S21 series will not go official on the date revealed by a carrier source at the end of November. The reason behind the delay is said to be supply chain constraints.

For the unaware, the pre-orders for the Galaxy S22 series were anticipated to go live on February 8 in South Korea. Whereas, the sales were scheduled to kick off around February 18. If the latest rumor happens to be true, then the sales will be likely delayed until late February or early March, suggests Twitter user @GaryeonHan.

The entire smartphone industry is facing issues related to the supply chain. So it’s not surprising to learn that Samsung is also affected by this. In fact, due to this very same reason, the South Korean tech giant has delayed the launch of the Galaxy S21 FE multiple times. This device is now expected to release in January ahead of the Galaxy S22 family.
