Back in March, XDA Developers revealed that Jio is working on a low-cost notebook named the JioBook. It appears that the company could be internally testing its performance as it has appeared on the Geekbench benchmarking site (via) today.
Recently, variants of the JioBook with model numbers such as NB1118QMW, NB1148QMW, and NB1112MM were spotted at the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) authority. The NB1112MM model has now appeared at Geekbench with some of its key specs.
The listing shows that the JioBook notebook with NB1112MM model number is powered by the MediaTek MT6788 chipset and 2 GB of RAM. It was found running on Android 11. In the single-core and multi-core tests of Geekbench, the device scored 1178 and 4246 points, respectively.
XDA’s report had revealed that the JioBook’s display will offer an HD resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels. The screen size of the device is not known yet. The report revealed that the notebook will be powered by the Snapdragon 665 chipset, which will come equipped with a Snapdragon X12 modem for 4G connectivity.

The JioBook’s base model is expected to arrive with 2 GB of LPDDR4x RAM and 32 GB of eMMC storage. Its higher variant may include 4 GB of LPDDR4x RAM and 64 GB of eMMC 5.1 storage.
Apart from 4G LTE, JioBook is expected to offer connectivity features like dual-band Wi-Fi and HDMI. It goes without saying the device will be equipped with Jio apps such as JioStore, JioPages, and JioMeet. It is expected also include Microsoft apps such as Edge, Office, and Teams. The existence of the MediaTek model indicates that there could be multiple SoC variants of the JioBook.
Smartphone brand realme announced realme UI 3.0 based on Android 12 in mid-October. It is a tweaked version of ColorOS 12, which went official a month earlier. So far, users could experience the software on a single device called realme GT. But not anymore, as the brand has now begun to recruit testers for realme GT Master Explorer Edition.
The realme GT Master Explorer Edition is a China-exclusive smartphone. It has become the second device to be part of the realme UI 3.0 Early Access program after realme GT.
According to the official announcement post on realme Community, the company had opened registrations for recruitment yesterday at 11:30 AM (local time). It will continue to recruit testers until its selects 700 applicants.
In other words, there’s no deadline to participate. However, since it is FCFS-based (first come, first serve), it is better to register sooner than later if you happen to own this handset and want to desperately try out realme’s take on Android 12.
As usual, realme asks applicants to back up data before installing the update, which is pushed within a day from the selection. It also recommends having at least 10GB of free space. Finally, the phone should not be rooted and battery capacity should be above 60%.
At present, it is not known when this handset will get access to the stable update.
Huawei will be holding the Smart Life Product Launch event at 7:30 PM (local time) on Nov. 17. Fresh posters released by the brand confirms that it will be announcing the Watch GT Runner through the upcoming unveiling event.
As the name goes, the Watch GT Runner is designed for professional runners. The frame has a ‘Sport-Lap’ text engraved on the right. The smartwatch will provide users with data such as running power index, pace, heart rate, and distance.
It has a round-shaped dial and promises 135 percent better GPS antenna performance. According to Why Lab, it is the industry’s first smartwatch to feature a floating antenna design. It supports dual-frequency 5-star precise positioning and offers marathon track-level precise positioning. He also mentioned that the device is equipped with the HarmonyOS system. The other features of the Huawei Watch GT Runner are under wraps. Also, there is no word on the pricing of the device.
The Watch GT Runner moniker was spotted at the Bluetooth SIG certification site last month. The listing revealed support for Bluetooth 5.2. Last month, Huawei announced the Watch GT 3 in the UK. Hence, it is likely that the company also announce the Watch GT 3 alongside the GT Runner on Nov. 17 in China.
It was reported at the beginning of this month that Huawei’s next smartwatch will be able to measure blood pressure. It is unclear whether the Watch GT Runner has a blood pressure tracker.
Ahead of the ColorOS 12 announcement in mid-September, OPPO kickstarted an early access program for its flagship smartphones, namely OPPO Find X3, OPPO Find X3 Pro, OnePlus 9, and OnePlus 9 Pro. A few weeks later, these phones got access to public beta builds in early October. Now, a little over a month later, the company is recruiting even more testers before the stable release.
According to the ColorOS Assistant Weibo account, OPPO has once again opened ColorOS 12 public beta registrations for its premium smartphones in China yesterday. The registrations will close at 12 PM today (November 12).
In order to enroll, users should be on the following firmware versions.
OPPO Find X3 Pro Mars Explorer Edition – A.28
OPPO Find X3 Pro – A.28
OPPO Find X3 – A.30
OnePlus 9 Pro – A.12
OnePlus 9 – A.12
To register, interested users have to navigate to Settings > Software update > Gear icon > Upgrade Early Access > Upgrade Public Beta. Selected applicants will receive the beta software build via OTA within 3 days.
As per the schedule shared by the company a few days back, these handsets will get access to the stable update on November 25. Hence, users need not wait longer to experience new ColorOS features and Android 12.
Anyway, like any other software update, this one will be also rolled out in batches. Therefore, the rollout will most likely continue till at least mid-December.
Last week, an interesting device called TD Tech N8 Pro went official in China. This smartphone is nothing but a rebadged HUAWEI nova 8 Pro with 5G connectivity and different software. In fact, Huawei itself listed this phone on its official stores across eCommerce platforms. However, for some reason, this handset has been now delisted from everywhere within days of its launch.
TD Tech N8 Pro
According to a report by ITHome, the TD Tech N8 Pro is no longer listed anywhere online. Hence, the publication says that the smartphone has been discontinued. But unfortunately, we don’t have any proof for the device’s discontinuation.
Huawei’s smartphone business is in turmoil ever since the company was added to the entity list by the US government. With the subsequent sanctions, the firm had to even sell its sub-brand HONOR.
Since the once world’s largest smartphone company can now no longer sell phones with 5G connectivity, it has been providing its hardware to other companies, which have licenses to trade 5G handsets.
The TD Tech N8 Pro is one of these phones. As mentioned earlier, this device is a HUAWEI nova 8 Pro inside out. But since it is from a different firm theoretically, it has 5G connectivity.
On the other hand, the now independent HONOR brand registered immense growth last quarter in China. But sadly, the future of Huawei’s smartphone business is not bright at all.
If you are looking for a complete mid-ranger with specifications suitable for gaming and close to the high-end segment, you have two amazing choices in the global market with a price tag of around €300. We are talking about the Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE and the Realme GT Master Edition: these two handsets are the perfect rivals of the midrange segment and they can replace flagships for most of the users. But which one is worth going for, given that the prices are very similar? We decided to highlight the differences between these two models in a comparison between their specifications.
Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE vs Realme GT Master Edition

ADDITIONAL FEATURES

Design
The Realme GT Master Edition comes in a special color variant designed by the known Japanese designer Naoto Fukasawa and sports a leather back with a texture that reminds of a suitcase. This Voyager Gray color option is definitely one of the most beautiful and unique designs in the midrange segment, and I would prefer this device for this reason. But you should not underestimate the Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE: with a thickness of just 6.8 mm, it is one of the thinnest last-generation phones and even one of the most lightweight ones. Further, it has the IP53 certification making it dust resistant and splash resistant.
Display
On the paper, the Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE sports the most advanced display. Its AMOLED panel has a diagonal of 6.55 inches and it is able to show up to one billion colors. It sports the HDR10+ certification, a 90 Hz refresh rate, and Dolby Vision enhancing the image quality. The Realme GT Master Edition has a higher 120 Hz refresh rate and it is more interesting for gamers, but it does not show one billion colors and it does not support HDR10 and Dolby Vision, that is the reason why Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE should provide a superior image quality. Note that Realme GT Master Edition has an in-display fingerprint reader, while Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE does not. On the other hand, the Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE is the only one with stereo speakers.
Specs & Software
The hardware departments of Realme GT Master Edition and Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE include a Snapdragon 778G mobile platform with a max frequency of 2.4 GHz, good for gamers and advanced users, but not a flagship chipset. The Realme GT Master Edition wins the hardware comparison because it offers up to 12 GB of RAM, while Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE has a max of 8 GB of RAM. Naturally, this applies only if you choose the most expensive variant of the Realme GT Master Edition. Both the phones run Android 11 with a highly customized user interface on top, and they have fast UFS storage.
Camera
The Realme GT Master Edition and the Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE are more or less at the same level when it comes to the rear cameras. The only difference in terms of hardware is the macro camera: you get just 2 MP with the former and a 5 MP telephoto macro lens with the latter. On the other hand, the Realme GT Master Edition has a better front camera with a resolution of 32 MP.
The Realme GT Master Edition has a slightly bigger battery with a capacity of 4300 mAh and, alongside its smaller display, it should guarantee a slightly longer battery life. Last but not least, it features a faster charging technology with a power of 65W.
Price
In the European market, you can find both Realme GT Master Edition and Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE with starting prices of €299/$343, which naturally raise if you choose higher-end configurations. I personally prefer the Realme GT Master Edition due to its faster charging technology and original design in its leather version, but Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE provides a better display, as well as the IP53 certification, powerful stereo speakers, and a sleeker body. Which one would you pick?

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.
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 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. It packs a decent battery that can last up to 12 days on a single charge and supports magnetic charging.
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.
@OnePlus_IN Never expected this from you #OnePlusNord2Blast see what your product have done. Please be prepared for the consequences. Stop playing with peoples life. Because of you that boy is suffering contact asap. pic.twitter.com/5Wi9YCbnj8
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.
FC Barcelona is entering the competitive League of Legends, the real-time action and strategy game with the most fans and audiences worldwide. The Spanish Football club announced its official entry with a team that is set to compete in the Superliga in 2022, the highest level tournament for the esports game in Spain. The announcement came yesterday with a tweet on their official Twitter handle.
The club is yet to officially announce a roster for its League of Legends team. The expected announcement of the team members will come sooner or later.
The organization mentioned the reason for entering League of Legends as its next E-sports venture stating, “On entering this tournament, FC Barcelona is strengthening their commitment to esports, a strategic sector for the Club, which they first entered two years ago with the aim of developing a strong profile.”
League of Legends is a strategy game in which two teams of five players face off and compete to complete objectives, and finally the two best teams compete in the Superliga. The current champion is Vodafone Giants, who beat UCAM Esports Club in the final on 12th August in Barcelona.
FC Barcelona is not a novice in esports as it has teams competing at Rocket league, a game that combines cars and football, PES 2020, using Konami’s famous soccer simulation and Hearthstone. With this new team, the club aims to diversify its presence, with the intention of taking the Barca brand to countries like China and the United States of America.
The LEQI Smart Electric Scooter was listed recently, and it is equipped with a couple of impressive features like HarmonyOS connect as well as a cool design. It carries a price tag of 2399 yuan (~$375) and is presently listed on VMall.
Among the top features of the scooter is a Bluetooth module and support for HarmonyOS Connect. The LEQI Smart Electric Scooter only needs to be within 0.5m of the smartphone or other connected gadget in order to achieve a one-key unlock function and to automatically turn on the “Welcome” lighting effect.
Further, the smart scooter packs a 350Wbrushless motor and has a maximum output power of 630W and a climbing gradient of 15%. It is equipped with a 18650 type lithium battery as well as a unique energy recovery technology whereby the scooter intelligently recovers electric energy when the user applies the brake or is navigating through a slope. Thus, the range can go up to 40km. The scooter also comes with an IPX7 waterproof and dustproof rating making it suitable for use inside the rain.
You also get a smart gyroscope onboard, making the LEQI scooter the first to have such. The feature activates functions such as intelligent altitude detection, anti-flying, and intelligent speed regulation for up and downhill, making it safer to drive the scooter. The body is manufactured from automobile-grade integrated die-casting aluminum technology. This makes the frame very strong and capable of withstanding a maximum load of 2 tons.
The front and rear aspects of the scooter are equipped with 9-inch Chaoyang automotive-grade high-elasticity vacuum explosion-proof tires, which can effectively reduce turbulence, shock resistance, and shock absorption, far exceeding traditional solid tires. At the same time, the tires have the ARAMID anti-puncture function and are also explosion-proof.
It also supports automotive-grade smart lighting effects, equipped with three major lighting effects systems – 2.5W high-brightness headlamps, smart turn signals, and auto night lights. It is further equipped with an ambient light sensor that detects the surrounding light level and automatically turns on the headlamps in a low-light environment.
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.
