Motorola Edge X/ Edge 30 Ultra 5k renders surfaced ahead of official release

A couple of days back, Motorola teased the Edge X smartphone in the Chinese market hinting at an imminent launch. Rumours are also rife for another Edge series smartphone dubbed the Motorola Edge 30 Ultra. Now, leaks reveal that the Edge 30 Ultra won’t actually be a new device rather it may be a rebadged model of China’s Edge X smartphone. In addition, 91Mobiles in collaboration with OnLeaks has shared 5k renders of the device.

Motorola Edge 30 Ultra

The Motorola Edge X a.k.a the Edge 30 Ultra sports a modern design. The device has a large 6.6-inch flat display with a punch-hole cut-out at the top. It seems to have thin bezels all around the edges and may have a 144Hz screen refresh rate. The screen is touted to be an OLED panel with HDR10+ support.

As for the cameras, the smartphone boasts a triple camera system placed vertically at the rear. It is said to be a 50MP main sensor, a 50MP secondary lens, and lastly a 2MP tertiary lens. Upfront, it has a 60MP selfie snapper.

Motorola Edge 30 Ultra

The device has a Motorola branding at the back but it does not double up as a fingerprint scanner. Rather, Motorola seems to have employed an in-display fingerprint sensor. The phone has a USB Type-C port at the bottom and a speaker grille beside it. It has a power button on the right side and a volume rocker on the left. Unfortunately, the phone does not seem to have a 3.5mm headphone jack, as per the renders.

Apart from this, what’s inside will be a new SoC – the Qualcomm Snapdragon 898 chipset. It will be paired with 8GB/12GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 128GB/256GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage. The smartphone will pack a 5,000mAh battery and is expected to have fast charging support.

Google rolls out Adaptive Sound feature on the Pixel 6 in waves

Google has silently rolled out its adaptive sound feature to some of its Pixel 6 devices.The feature that was once thought exclusive to the Pixel 5, directed towards compensating for its disappointing under-screen speaker performance, is now coming to the Pixel 6 series.

Google Adaptive sound

The feature was discovered by @MishaalRahman who noticed it while scrolling through the settings menu of his Pixel 6. This technology works by utilizing the device microphone to access the surrounding audio and noise levels, adjusting the equalizer, resulting in a better, clearer sound.

With the Pixel 5, the feature was observed to work nicely when the speaker audio output was kept anywhere between 40% to 80% of its maximum capacity. Beyond that, the difference was hard to notice.

The adaptive sound feature was also introduced in the Pixel 4a 5G which came out in September of last year and the Google Pixel Buds, but the buds only offer some adjustments in noise cancellation and tweak the volume levels according to the surrounding noise.

It is yet too early to say how the feature will perform on the Pixel 6 series devices. As more devices receive the update, we would have a clearer picture of this quirky feature.

Xiaomi’s wearable sales exceed 2 million units just 30 minutes into the 11.11 campaign

Xiaomi’s wearable brand has proved to be very popular right from the Mi Band 2 to the smartwatch era. A recent report by Canalys showed that the brand surpassed Apple in Q2 2021 to emerge as the number one wearable brand globally. While that may not last for too long considering it was after the release of the Apple Watch Series 7, it shows how far the brand has come in the wearable market.

Xiaomi’s wearables continue to make waves in the market and this year’s Single’s festival (11.11) is yet another opportunity to prove that. Data released by the company shows that it sold over two million wearable devices just 30 minutes into the 11.11 campaign.

On Jingdogn (JD.com), Xiaomi’s most-popular wearable devices include the Redmi Watch 2, Mi Rabbit Children’s Phone Watch 5C, Mi Watch Color 2 among others. Among them, the Redmi Watch 2 smartwatch is a new wearable device launched by Redmi in October. The smartwatch is on offer for a decent 339 yuan (~$53) price tag. The Redmi Watch 2 is equipped with a 1.6-inch AMOLED display and comes with NFC as well as a 5ATM waterproof rating. It also comes with support for blood oxygen detection and 24-hour heart rate monitoring. There are also up to 117 sports modes including most of the favorite sports.

OnePlus to pay for medical expenses of Nord 2 explosion victim, Refunds amount

On November, 3 a OnePlus Nord 2 unit exploded inside a victim’s jeans in India’s Dhule. This was the second time such an incident had happened with this particular model. A Twitter user close to the victim tweeted about the trauma he suffered and warned OnePlus of further consequences.

In an update regarding the case, The company said, “We take such incidents seriously. Our team has already reached out to the user, and we are in the process of collecting the details to investigate this further.”

OnePlus provided further information regarding the incident. The company has collected the burnt Nord 2 from the user and the device has been sent for further investigation to its Pune facility. Additionally, the victim confirmed that OnePlus has refunded the amount and assured that the company will take care of the medical expenses. The company’s operational head is said to be in constant touch with the victim.

The phone was in the victim’s pocket when the incident took place. According to the victim’s relative, he was riding a bike when the smartphone caught fire. The relative informed that the phone was purchased on Amazon India and the victim never faced any overheating issues with the phone, adding that the weather was cold on the day of the incident. The victim suffered severe second-degree burns and is currently admitted at the hospital.

The issue is very concerning as a few months ago a similar incident took place with a Delhi-based lawyer. However, the customer refused to hand over the device for further investigation to OnePlus, after which the company called the claims “disparaging” and “defamatory” and sent the customer a cease and desist notice.

Google Pixel 2 XL gets its first Android 12 custom ROM

The aftermarket Android community has been pretty active recently, making Android 12 ports for various new and old devices. The devs have also released custom Android 12 Generic System Image (GSI) packages to facilitate any Project Treble-supported device to boot the latest version of Android. Owing to Project Treble, the four-year-old Google Pixel 2 received its first unofficial Android 12 based custom ROM, the ProtonAOSP.

For those unfamiliar with the custom Android community, ProtonAOSP project is a custom ROM created by Danny Lin also known on the XDA forums as kdrag0n. This time however the XDA members Lunarixus, RealOkabe, RallySnow, and Dollscythe take the credit for bringing a functional build of the Android 12 based ProtonAOSP to Google Pixel 2 XL (via XDA). As of now, a separate build for the regular Pixel 2 is in the works and should be available soon.

Primary functions such as the cellular radio interface layer (RIL), camera, GPS, Bluetooth, and fingerprint reader are working well in this version. With regard to bugs and things now working, encryption isn’t functional yet, and the SELinux is set to permissive mode, which raises serious security concerns. Despite that, the devs have still achieved an impressive feat, as it can be a real hassle trying to get a ROM fully functional without radio or camera issues.

To flash this ROM, ProtonAOSP has provided a factory image that enables you to directly flash the OS via Fastboot. But be careful and back your data up before flashing, as you might need to re-partition and eventually wipe the internal storage of your Pixel device. As it is an unofficial ROM, it is strongly advised to be careful about your sensitive information.

Redmi 9A and Redmi 9A Sport receive a price hike of Rs. 300 in India, check out the new prices

UPDATE: 

Xiaomi’s official statement explaining the reason behind the price hike has been added below.

“Due to massive demand-supply mismatch, the majority of components used in smartphones have seen an upward movement in their prices. Unfortunately, due to such market dynamics, a surge in price is inevitable, and it is further leading to a price hike on some of our models.

At Xiaomi India, we strongly believe in honest pricing and will continue to do our best to make the most value-for-money smartphones for all our Fans and consumers.”

 

[Original Story] Budget devices Redmi 9A and Redmi 9A Sport will now be costing a tad more in India thanks to a price hike. The new prices are effective today and have gone live on Amazon and Mi Store.

The hike is of Rs. 300 and the likely reason for it is the ongoing semiconductor shortage that has impacted companies’ ability to procure crucial parts for their phones (via 91mobiles). The hike amount is constant across both the phones and all of their variants.

Redmi 9A featured

The old and new prices have been given below for comparison.

  • Redmi 9A (2GB/32GB): Rs. 6,999 to Rs. 7,299
  • Redmi 9A (3GB/32GB): Rs. 7,999 to Rs. 8,299
  • Redmi 9A Sport (2GB/32GB): Rs. 6,999 to Rs. 7,299
  • Redmi 9A Sport (3GB/32GB): Rs. 7,999 to Rs. 8,299

To recall, the Redmi 9A is equipped with an entry-level MediaTek Helio G25 SoC paired with a PowerVR GE8320 GPU. It has up to 3GB RAM and 32GB internal storage, further expandable by an SD card. Its display is sized at 6.53-inch and has a 1600×720 HD+ resolution. Its camera setup is simple with a single 13MP shooter at the rear, paired with a 5MP camera at the front. Connectivity features include 4G LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and a 3.5mm audio jack. All of it is powered by a large 5,000mAh battery.

Redmi 9A Sport Featured A

The Redmi 9A Sport is exactly the same phone but a more recent launch. It’s unclear why Xiaomi has offered two same phones but with different names, that too for the same market. Still, both of them do come with a different set of colors, so there’s that.

ASUS ROG Strix Scar 15 laptop leaked, with Ryzen 9 6900HX & RTX 3080 Ti

ASUS is gearing up for the launch of a new high end gaming laptop. A new leak has revealed that the company will be launching a next gen ROG Strix Scar 15 laptop with top tier specs like an AMD Ryzen 6000 series processor and NVIDIA RTX 3000 series graphics card.

According to a MyLaptopGuide report (Via WccFTech), the Taiwanese PC maker will launch the top end ROG Strix Scar 15 gaming laptop with some beefy specs. This includes the a Ryzen 9 6900HX ‘Rembrandt’ CPU and an RTX 3080 Ti GPU. Reportedly, the laptop is set to be unveiled during the CES 2022 event that will be held in January, so its surprising that the leak with key specs arrived two whole months prior to its official announcement.

Asus

Notably, the laptop was even confirmed through the FCCID registration. For those unaware, the new CPU sports 8 Zen 3+ cores along with 16 threads, which are based on the 6nm process technology. The clock speeds have not been revealed as of right now, but it is likely to be higher than the current gen Ryzen 9 5900HX CPU. On the other hand, the RTX 3080 Ti is based on NVIDIA’s latest Ampere GA103 GPU SKU and would likely have a TDP rated between 150W and 200W.

Other features of the laptop include a 15.6 inch QHD display with a 165Hz refresh rate. It will run Windows 11 Pro out of the box and arrive with up to 32GB of DDR5 4800MHz RAM along with 1TB PCIe Gen 4 NVMe M.2 SSD storage. In other words, this is also one of the first AMD powered laptops that feature DDR5 memopry and PCIe Gen 4 support, which will take on the Alder Lake counterparts from Intel. The pricing and availability of the laptop is currently unknown, but it will likely be pricey considering its high end specs.

OnePlus 10 front will reportedly look exactly like the OPPO Reno7 Pro

OnePlus only launched the OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro flagship smartphones this year but is now already gearing up to launch the successor to the series in the form of the OnePlus 10/10 Pro. A recent leak had revealed what its back would look like and a reliable leakster has now shown what to expect from its front.

OPPO is expected to unleash the Reno7 series of smartphones later this month, which is said to include three models – Reno7 SE, Reno7, and Reno7 Pro. The Reno series has always been a premium offering and as such has always featured premium designs as well. It was thus unsurprising to see a leaked live image of the OPPO Reno7 Pro’s front that showcased an extremely slim chin.

Leakster Debayan Roy now says that the OnePlus 10 will feature a very similar front.

As such, the OnePlus 10 will likely come with a punch-hole selfie camera aligned to the left. The punch-hole on the Reno7 Pro is quite tiny and the OnePlus will likely feature the same.

As for the rear of the OnePlus 10, it is unclear for now if it will look just like the Pro variant and thus have a massive camera module with an around-the-edge design. But judging from the fact that the OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro look almost identical from the rear, it isn’t out of question.

As for the specifications, the Pro variant of the OnePlus 10 duo is expected to feature a 6.7-inch 1440p display offering a 120Hz refresh rate. It should be powered by the upcoming Qualcomm Snapdragon 898 chipset and is said to pack a 5,000mAh battery with support for Warp Charge technology for fast charging. The vanilla OnePlus 10 will likely feature similar specs, just toned down a bit.

As of right now, the group has more than 100 members, which includes major players like ARM, Cisco, BSI, Mastercard, and others that are interested in finding ways to protect IoT security. In the event, the group also discussed various topics related to the IoT security issues while also sharing the latest researches and innovations within the field that would help build a safe,reliable, and trustworthy IoT ecosystem.

Sony PS5 production takes a hit due to supply constraints: Report

Sony is apparently facing issues with production of its PlayStation 5 gaming console. Reportedly, the company has been making lower units of the console due to shortage of components.

Sony PlayStation 5

According to a Bloomberg report, the Japanese tech giant has internally lowered its production plans for the current financial year. Initially, the brand had projected to manufacture 16 million units of its popular PS5 between April 2021 and March 2022. But now, that figure has dropped to around 15 million units. Notably, this is also close to Sony’s previous public projection that revealed that it would sell 14.8 million units of the PS5 console in this financial year.

In other words, the drop in production is indicative of the severe shortage of components as of right now. The previous 16 million production units would have enabled the company to meet its target for 2021, while also allowing it to have additional stock for the next year. But due to the ongoing global shortage of semiconductors and other components, it seems that Sony is struggling with the production. The report added that shipments of components are irregular and are mostly late. Furthermore, the varying levels of vaccinations have made operations of production lines even more complicated.

Sony

Sony has estimated that it would sell 22.6 million units of its PS5 console before the financial year of 2022 ends, although, its manufacturing partners reportedly believe that this goal might be difficult to meet considering the ongoing supply constraints. So, it seems that getting your hands on a PlayStation 5 console has just become even more harder.

OPPO A55s renders reveal a minimalistic design and punch-hole display

OPPO is soon going to launch another budget offering dubbed OPPO A55s in various markets. Not much is known about the phone at the moment but we now have a look at what to expect from its design.

91mobiles has exclusively released renders of the OPPO A55s, courtesy of industry sources. The phone can be seen in black and green colors and most of its design has been exposed. The rear of the phone has a rectangular camera module that seemingly houses a triple camera array, much like the OPPO A54s. Other than this, the back is rather plain and minimal with no fingerprint sensor. This means that fingerprint authentication will be performed by the power button.

The front of the phone is largely occupied by a full-screen display that will most likely be an IPS LCD one. But unlike its predecessor which used a waterdrop notch, it comes with a punch-hole selfie snapper aligned to the left. The display is surrounded by reasonably slim bezels, although the bottom chin is slightly thick – nothing too bad for a phone of its price range. The top bezel holds the call speaker.

The OPPO A55s had previously appeared on Geekbench with the model number CPH2309. It managed to score 510 and 1592 in Geekbench’s single-core and multi-core tests, respectively. The listing revealed that the device is powered by a Qualcomm chip that includes six CPU cores clocking at 1.8GHz and two CPU cores working at 2.04GHz. These clues indicate that the Snapdragon 480 5G is present under the hood of the device. The chipset is coupled with 4GB of RAM and Android 11 OS.

Suzuki Burgman e-scooter version launching in India on November 18

Suzuki India could be close to unveiling its latest model in the electric two-wheeler market. The Suzuki Burgman electric scooter has been seen multiple times testing on Indian public roads.

Suzuki Motorcycles India has continued to expand its offerings in the Indian market. It has had tremendous success with products that are specifically designed for the market. The Suzuki Burgman is the company’s new offering in the electric two-wheeler market.

The Indian e-scooter/ e-bike market holds a lot of potentials, as both sub-national and the central government have continued to provide incentives to support the growth of the market. The sheer number of potential users of electric bikes in the subcontinent continues to draw both local and foreign manufacturers into the market.

The electric version of the Burgman Street 125 motorcycle bears a close semblance to its more established gas-powered motorcycle. It has a distinct blue and white color combination to differentiate it from the Burgman Street 125. The front and rear wheels of the e-scooter will be 12 inches and 10 inches respectively. It has a telescopic front fork and two shock absorbers at the rear, while disc and drum brake systems are used on the front and rear mechanisms, respectively.Suzuki Burgman launch

The Suzuki Burgman e-scooter is customized for the Indian terrain, as the company seeks to continue to draw customers on the basis of its customized and tailor-made models already in the market. It has an Indian spec design and the electric powertrain and battery of the model will have global ramifications. The Burgman e-scooter will likely be at par with some of the popular gas-powered motorcycles in the Indian market, with the pricing reflecting somewhere around 20% as the additional average increment in its price over the gas models.

In a week’s time, the Suzuki Burgman e-scooter will be officially released in India and we are bound to have more details about the new model before the scheduled November 18 event.
