Now, the top-end model in the lineup, the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra which is rumored to get launched as the Samsung Galaxy S22 Note, has reportedly been spotted on the South Korean giant’s official website.

A Samsung smartphone with a model number SM-S908U has been spotted with a support page on the company’s official website in China. However, it’s noteworthy that the device hasn’t been listed with its name and it just shows the model number.

The listing was first spotted by tipster Snoopy and it is also being claimed that Samsung has started the production of the upcoming Galaxy S-series flagship phones in full swing and is shipping thousands of components every day.

Recently, the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra aka S22 Note was spotted on benchmarking platform Geekbench, which revealed its score as well some key specs. The device with model number SM-S908N is possibly for the home market of South Korea while the one with model number SM-908U could be for other regions.

Based on the recent leak, the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra is claimed to have two models — 12GB RAM with either 128GB or 256GB storage, and a 16GB RAM model with 512GB storage.

The device is said to come in Dark Red, Black, and White color option but some reports have also pointed to a new Green color option. As for the pricing, if the reports are to be believed, the series could have a starting price of $799.

Samsung to reportedly launch 8K MiniLED and 4K OLED TVs in 2022

By

-

Dec 12, 2021

The lineup of high-end TVs from Samsung in 2022 will include 8K MiniLED and 4K OLED TVs according to sources. These premium products are driven by some immersive technologies being developed by the Korean tech powerhouse. The 8K MiniLED TV will be the highest among the lineup and will carry the Neo QLED TV brand.

Samsung’s MicroLED TVs are on the high end of the spectrum but the company only produces very few units to meet demand from its clientele on the top echelon of the market. They are yet to be produced in the numbers that would scale down to other segments, although this may be an economic decision. The 8K Neo QLED TV is on the highest tier, followed by the 4K OLED TVs. The display technology for the Neo QLED is to be provided by Samsung Display and it is believed that the OLED technology is capable of offering 8K resolution, although Samsung is limiting the OLED to 4K which will be produced by LG Display.

The Neo QLED 4K is also part of the lineup of TVs for 2022. Samsung is projecting to sell 3 million units of the 8K QLED and up to 2 million of the 4K models. Samsung is currently in talks with LG Display to procure up to 2 million units of the W-OLED 4K panels in pursuit of its sales goals. It is expected that the cheaper OLED TVs could have higher demand than the QLED, although it remains to be seen what marketing strategy is in place to drive the company’s expectations.

Samsung is also developing its capacity to produce OLED panels from its display arm, Samsung Display. To this end, the Samsung-LG collaboration will most likely terminate by 2024 when Samsung would have started producing these panels.

Three more engineers leave the Apple Car project to join a startup: Report

Dec 12, 2021

For about a year, Apple’s much-anticipated project for its first fully autonomous car has been in the trends. The Apple Car is reportedly one of the most contingent projects for the company and it has seen major vicissitudes. Earlier, a few engineers working on the Car project left the company to join startups. Now, as per Bloomberg, three more engineers have reportedly left the company.

Eric Rogers, the one heading the car’s radar system has left the company to join the flying-taxi startup Joby Aviation Inc. Alex Clarabut and Stephen Spiteri, two Apple engineers responsible for the project have also joined the same flying-taxi startup.

Reportedly, Apple’s upcoming Car project has been bedevilling the company’s engineers, and as more engineers leave the company the project is expected to see a lot of uncertainties. Although for a Californian giant like Apple, it is swift to bring new employees, still seeing multiple people leave the company does show the coercion around the fully autonomous car project.

Nonetheless, Apple Car, internally called “Project Titan” will surely get a launch as it passes several pilots in its making. However, for the public, there’s no information regarding its specifications. The Apple Car is expected to be announced by 2025.

Iconic Nokia Ion Mini canceled in 2014 appears on Twitter

By

Dec 12, 2021

In the wake of the 2014 takeover of Nokia by Microsoft, some products under development were canceled. These included the Nokia Ion Mini (RM-1028) which has now resurfaced. The concept of the design was for a colorful smartphone with a vivid color scheme and projected to run on the Android operating system before Microsoft pulled the plug on its rollout in 2014.

Thanks to tipster Dimitrios Vlachos, some photos of the Nokia Ion Mini were shared in addition to video content. The Nokia RM-1027 was berthed in 2014 before the acquisition of Nokia by Microsoft. The expectation then was that the successor to the Nokia RM-1027 would also run on the Android-like operating system. But this was not to be as Nokia migrated to producing Windows phones and the Nokia RM-1028 known as the Nokia Ion Mini was canceled.

And the video I promised you. Keep an eye on my account since I am gonna post many cancelled Nokia devices over the next few days; including the legendary Kataya: pic.twitter.com/RHEGAeO0PG

— Dimitrios Vlachos (@ileios) December 10, 2021

The tipster outlined several features of the rested device as could be seen in the video and photos. The Ion Mini was a simple device that could have been affordably priced. It had a classic small display, one camera at the back. The Nokia Ion Mini was running on the nauOS which is a hybrid Nokia OS. The nauOS was utilized in a few of the Nokia offerings and the video and photos indicated that the device was powered by Qualcomm MSM8226 chipset or Snapdragon 400.

The tipster is also promising more videos and photos of some of the other canceled Nokia phones due to its acquisition by Microsoft in 2014. It is unclear where these details are emanating from. It is also not clear whether any of these canceled phones have found their way outside Nokia.

Besides being equipped with the best processor in the Android market, it is even a flagship killer and it hitten the shelves with a modest price tag. But is it the best value for money flagship or you can actually find something better? We think there is no better way to understand it than comparing it to other mainstream flagship killers.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES	5G, dual SIM, water-repellent, optional under-display camera	5G, dual SIM, IP53 splash resistant	5G, dual SIM

Design

If you are looking for the design with the most premium materials, then you should choose the Xiaomi 11T Pro. It has a glass back, an aluminum frame, and a front glass protected by Gorilla Glass Victus. Besides having a more premium design, it is even more resistant thanks to Gorilla Glass Victus and the IP53 certification which indicates that the phone is dust resistant and splash resistant. The Motorola Edge X30 comes right after with its glass back and water-repellent design, but the OnePlus 9RT 5G is actually the most compact and the thinnest handset because it has a smaller display and a smaller battery.

Display

On the paper, the most advanced display belongs to the Xiaomi 11T Pro. It has an AMOLED panel by Samsung with a diagonal of 6.67 inches, a Full HD+ resolution, one billion colors, a 120 Hz refresh rate, Dolby Vision, and the HDR10+ certification. The phone is also equipped with stereo speakers tuned by Harman Kardon. Right after, we got the Motorola Edge X30 packing a 6.7-inch OLED display with one billion colors, a (higher!) 144 Hz refresh rate, a Full HD+ resolution, and the HDR10+ certification. The OnePlus 9RT 5G comes with an AMOLED screen as well, but it displays a max of 16 million colors. On the other hand, it is the only one with an in-display fingerprint reader.

Specs & Software

With the Motorola Edge X30, you can get the most powerful hardware department in the whole smartphone market. The phone is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 mobile platform offering a solid improvement in performance if compared to the Snapdragon 888, paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage. Both Xiaomi 11T Pro and OnePlus 9RT 5G are fueled by the Snapdragon 888 chipset paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of storage. The Motorola Edge X30 runs Android 12 out of the box, while its rivals are still based on Android 11.

Camera

The Motorola Edge X30 offers a way more interesting camera setup. It has a 50 MP main camera with OIS, a 50 MP secondary ultrawide camera, a 2 MP depth sensor, and an amazing 60 MP front camera. The Motorola Edge X30 Special Edition has an under-display selfie snapper. The silver medal goes to the OnePlus 9RT 5G and its 50 MP main camera with OIS paired with a 16 MP ultrawide sensor and a 2 MP macro camera.

Battery

Motorola Edge X30 should provide the longest battery life due to its 5000 mAh battery and its efficient mobile platform, followed by the Xiaomi 11T Pro. But the latter supports a faster charging technology with a power of 120W.

Price

You need just €420/$475 to purchase the Motorola Edge X30 in China, while the OnePlus 9RT 5G starts from €440/$517. The Motorola Edge X30 wins the comparison thanks to its better chipset and cameras: we believe it currently offers a higher value for money.
