Meizu’s official Weibo account on Monday announced that the Meizu POP3 TWS will be released tomorrow. The announcement post said that the earpods will be paying a tribute to the “national quintessence.”
The post further contains an image of two oval pieces. These are said to be the inspiration behind the design of the earbuds themselves, which will likely be thin and round. If that’s untrue, then it’s likely that the oval pieces are actually meant to depict the ‘stem’ of the earbuds alone that will house the batteries.
The Meizu POP3 TWS earbuds will also likely be lighter than their predecessors if past release patterns are to go by. The first generation of Meizu POP true wireless earphones was born in April 2018 and weighed 5.8g. Subsequent releases have seen a reduction in weight with the Meizu POP2 weighing 5.4g followed by the Meizu POP2s at just 5.1g.
Meizu POP 2s
The Meizu POP3 earbuds will also come with a “no tail” design like its past iterations and will hence favor a rounded design over a cylindrical stem.
Meizu had earlier launched the Meizu POP Pro TWS earbuds at the beginning of the year with the ANC (active noise cancellation) feature. These had 10mm drivers, Bluetooth 5.0, IPX5 rating, three-microphone intelligent call noise reduction algorithm, and were claimed to provide 20 hours of music playback.
And as for a global launch of the Meizu POP3 earbuds, there isn’t any news as of yet but there could be an announcement soon. The POP2 had cost 299 yuan (~$45) and similar pricing can be expected from the POP3 as well.
The renders of the upcoming Apple MacBook Air has just been leaked. These renders reveal that the next generation MacBook Air model features an extremely thin design, especially for its display frame.
The new renders were shared by Jon Prosser and Ian Zelbo that also added that the new MacBook Air will apparently be arriving sometime in early 2022. Furthermore, the Cueprtino based giant is reportedly planning on including the new notched display design to its cheaper laptop model as well. As of right now, this notched display can be found in the MacBook Pro 14 and MacBook Pro 16 that were launched recently.
Furthermore, the leak showcased that the company will also be adopting white bezels for the MacBook Air, which is a color that has not been seen since the 2010s MacBooks that adopted a polycarbonate build. Despite having narrow bezels on the sides, the chin is still quite noticeable. Prosser and Zelbo added that the MacBook Air will feature MagSafe 3 support as well as dual Thunderbolt 4 and a 3,5mm audio jack for ports.
Although, the leaked design showcase an almost impossibly thin design that looks barely wide enough for an audio jack. In other words, we can also expect the laptop not featuring a full sized keyboard either. Zelbo claims to have seen a prototype model, which is what the renders are based on. Under the hood, the new MacBook Air features is expected to feature the Apple M2 chipset and will likely arrive in multiple color variants as well.
Husban has just launched the new Zino Mini drone. This is the third product released by the company this year. It is a lightweight and compact drone, with the company’s tagline for it stating that it aims to “let more people fly.”
The Zino Mini weigh just 249 grams and sports a 1/1.3 inch CMOS sensor that is capable of shooting at 4K resolution at 30 fps. Although, this video will be streamed to the paired smartphone at just 1080p resolution. Furthermore, the Zino Mini can fly for up to 40 minutes, or for 10 kilometers, on a single full charge from its 3,000mAh battery pack. Notably, the drone also features an AI tracking mode that can accurately locate moving people, vehicles, or animals and even offers a night time mode that uses an algorithm to optimize recordings made in low light.
The drone is available in two storage configurations, namely a 64GB or 128GB internal storage versions that can be expanded via a microSD card slot. A major difference between Husban’s newly launched Zino Mini and the Zino Mini Pro is the obstacle detection feature, with the latter offering three sensors on the sides while the Zino Mini only offers on downward facing sensor.
On the other hand, the Zino MINI SE is an even more affordable drone from the brand but its skips even more features like the obstacle avoidance entirely. The Zino Mini will be available for a price of 459 US Dollars, although, Husban has yet to release the product in the market or revealed when it the product will actually be hitting online or offline shelves.
OPPO introduced the Pro+ model in the Reno lineup with the 5th generation. The first device was called OPPO Reno5 Pro+, which was later followed by OPPO Reno6 Pro+. Now, according to a reliable leaker, there may not be an OPPO Reno7 Pro+.
OPPO Reno6 Pro+
We have been hearing about the OPPO Reno7 series for the past few days from the same source – Digital Chat Station. The tipster now suggests that the 7th gen Reno family may not include a Pro+ model.
The leaker says that the prototypes of vanilla and Pro variants are much better than their predecessor. They have improvements in both display and camera departments.
Above all, he hasn’t heard about the Pro+ variant yet. Hence, he thinks that OPPO Reno7 Pro+ may not exist after all.
Anyway, we would advise you to consider this information with a pinch of salt. That’s because we are still days away from the launch of the OPPO Reno7 series.
As per previous leaks, the regular OPPO Reno7 will be similar to its predecessor in terms of design with a metal frame and a punch-hole at the top left corner of the screen. It will feature a 50MP Sony IMX766 primary sensor that measures 1/1.56” in size and a notification LED ring around the camera.
Lastly, an unreliable source tipped that OPPO Reno7, OPPO Reno7 Pro, and OPPO Reno7 Pro+ will be powered by MediaTek Dimensity 920, MediaTek Dimensity 1200, Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 respectively.
iQOO is reportedly working on two news phones namely, the iQOO 9 and iQOO Neo5s smartphone. Some reports have claimed that the latter could be called iQOO Neo6. A Chinese tipster has claimed that the iQOO Neo phone will break cover by mid-November.
A couple of iQOO phones have been recently appeared at certification sites. The handset with model number V2154A was spotted at the 3C certification site with a 66W fast charger. Another model with a V2136GA model number was spotted at the TENAA certification site with full specs.
The tipster who tipped the November arrival of the next iQOO Neo phone claimed that it will be powered by the Snapdragon 888 chipset. It will be sporting a BOE supplied curved edge screen powered by a new generation of independent display chip. It will include liquid cooling technology for heat dissipation. Its battery will be larger than the previous generation iQOO Neo phone.
iQOO Neo5
In addition, it will come with a 66W fast charger, which in turn suggests that the V2154A model debut with the Neo5s moniker. The handset is yet to appear at TENAA with full specifications.
Other reports have claimed that the iQOO Neo5s will come with a 6.56-inch OLED 120Hz panel and a 4,500mAh battery. It may feature a 16-megapixel front camera and an OIS-ready 48-megapixel Sony IMX598 primary snapper. It is also expected to arrive with dual speakers and a linear motor.

However, the phone is now expected to arrive as a Y-series phone with the Y71T moniker.
Previously, we reported that the next-generation NEX series smartphone, the successor of the NEX 3 from Vivo, won’t be called NEX 5. Instead, the device is likely to be called Vivo NEX Fold given that it will be a foldable smartphone. While the exact launch date is not yet known, we expect to know more about it in the coming weeks.
As for the upcoming Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset, it will be manufactured using the Samsung 4nm process with a new architecture and Adreno 730 GPU. The company is also expected to launch another variant of the same, manufactured by TSMC at a later date.

Despite its name, we expect this device to be a fitness tracker and not a smartwatch, similar to its predecessor. It could be running a customized version of RTOS like several every other similar product in the market.

In 2019, Huawei launched its first virtual reality glasses dubbed the Huawei VR Glass. It then followed with a successor called the Huawei VR Glass 6DOF Game Set with improved features and 360º controllers in October 2020. However, this new model is yet to be commercially available after more than a year.
Huawei VR Glass 6DOF Game Set
When Huawei announced the new VR Glass last year, it said the device will be available to developers by December 2020 and be available for purchase in April 2021. Unfortunately, that is yet to happen. However, new info has revealed that the new VR Glass should arrive soon.
The news of the launch of the 2nd generation Huawei VR Glass comes from the leaker Teme @RODENT950 who posted the info on Twitter a few days ago.
Huawei has some products planned for release before the year wraps up such as a new foldable smartphone. So there is a chance the new VR headset will be announced at the event.
When it was first unveiled last year at the World VR Industry Conference Cloud Summit, Huawei only revealed the design and a few features of the device but didn’t disclose the price. The first-generation model launched for ¥2999 (~$470) and is still available for purchase on Vmall. Since its successor packs upgrades in multiple areas, we can expect a higher price tag.
The 2nd generation Huawei VR Glass or Huawei VR Glass 6DOF Game Set shares a similar design to its predecessor but now adds two cameras at the top for tracking. It also upgrades the Google Daydream-like controller to a pair similar to that of the Oculus Quest but with three buttons instead of two along with a joystick.
The first generation Huawei VR Glass launched with a design reminiscent of ski glasses. It packed dual 2.1-inch LCD displays with a combined resolution of 3200 x 1600 and a refresh rate of up to 90Hz depending on the device connected to. It was pretty light at 166 grams thanks to not having a built-in battery and also had two diopter dials for adjusting the focus for people who wear prescription glasses.
The Huawei VR glasses launched with compatibility for both its own phones as well as Windows PCs so we should see its successor retaining this feature. The headset could be powered by an external source such as a connected phone, PC, or portable battery pack. It also shipped with a controller in the box.
There is no info on when the 2nd Generation Huawei VR Glass will be released but there is a chance it will arrive before the end of the year.
Chromebooks have become increasingly popular lately. While there are lots of options available from various manufacturers, there has actually not been a new player in the space. That should change soon as LG has its first Chromebook coming.
LG is not new to making computers. Its LG Gram line of slim and light Windows PCs are sold in various markets and have received generally positive reviews. Now, it is ready to bring its hardware to the Chromebook market.
The LG Chromebook will be its first Chromebook laptop and it has been spotted on the website of the Bluetooth Special Interest Group where it has received its certification. The listing was first reported by Chrome Unboxed, however, it doesn’t reveal much save that the computer has the model number “11TC50Q” and has Bluetooth 5.1.
There are so many unknown details at the moment but what is most exciting to know is what the LG Chromebook will look like. Of course, the specs are important too and so also is the price but we most likely won’t get to know these details until the device launches.
There is a chance the LG Chromebook may arrive this year but the possibility of a CES launch can’t be ruled out, which in all honesty, is a better avenue for announcing its first Chromebook.
Realme was expected to bring the Realme 9 smartphone series last month but the company delayed the launch till next year. Now, the Realme 9 series will be launching in early 2022. But, ahead of the official launch, one of the Realme 9 series phones have appeared on the IMEI database.
According to the IMEI, a Realme smartphone with model number RMX3393 has just passed the certification. It is believed to be the upcoming Realme 9 Pro Plus. Although the certification doesn’t reveal anything significant it just hints at the phone’s arrival.
Realme 8s
As per previous leaks, the Realme 9 Pro and 9 Pro Plus are expected to be a significant upgrade over the current Realme 8 series phones. The Realme 9 series is expected to feature a 120Hz high refresh rate display. It is touted to be an AMOLED panel. Now, it remains to be seen whether it has a notch screen or a punch-hole display.
Under the hood, the series is expected to come powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 SoC. It leak is in line with what Realme revealed last month. The company suggested that the phones will debut with mainstream processors. It seems that the mid-range Snapdragon 870 will board the budget-range 9 series phones.
Realme GT Neo 2T Specifications
In related news, Realme recently launched the Realme GT Neo 2T smartphone in China. The device comes with a 6.43-inch Samsung AMOLED display with a 1080 x 2400 resolution.

Guangdong Oppo Mobile Telecommunication submitted a design patent for a smartphone with China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA) last year in December. The documentation of the design patent, which was released last week includes several product images, which suggests that it could be a Reno series handset. Lets Go Digital, which was first to spot the patent listing claimed that the below-shown design may belong to the upcoming Reno7 Pro handset.
The alleged design patent of the Reno7 Pro shows that it has a punch-hole display with rounded corners and super-slim bezels. Its right edge has a power key, and the volume up/down buttons are available on the left side. Its top edge has a microphone, whereas the bottom side features a SIM card slot, a USB-C port, and a speaker grille.

Located at the upper-left corner of the phone’s back are three vertically aligned cameras, followed by what appears to be a quad-LED flash unit. A fourth camera seems to be present on the right side of the topmost camera. The publication claimed that the Chinese manufacturer also submitted an alternative front design without a punch-hole camera. This indicates that other design could be hinting at the presence of an under-display camera.
The rumor mill is yet to spill concrete information on the specs of the Reno7 Pro. It is speculated to feature the Dimensity 1200 chipset and a Sony IMX766 50-megapixel primary camera. The Reno7 series, which reportedly includes Reno7 and Reno7 Pro+ is expected to launch in November in China. The Pro+ variant is speculated to come with the Snapdragon 888 SoC.
The Reno7 5G could be coming with a 6.5-inch OLED FHD+ 90Hz display, Dimensity 920, LPDDR4x RAM, UFS 3.1 storage, and a 4,500mah battery with 65W fast charging. For photography, it may feature a 32-megapixel front camera and a 50-megapixel (Sony IMX766 lens) triple camera unit.

The Google Pixel 6 and the Pixel 6 Pro do not have exactly the same design, but we are talking about very similar aesthetics. Both come with a brand new design language including a horizontal camera module on the rear side, as well as a punch-hole display with the hole placed in the middle of the upper part of the panels. The displays are flat but they have a high screen to body ratio. The phones are not so thin because they pack big batteries, but the build quality is great. They both come with the Gorilla Glass Victus protection as well as the IP68 certification making them waterproof and dustproof.
Display
There are noticeable differences between the displays of the new Google phones. First of all, the Google Pixel 6 has a smaller panel: its diagonal is 6.4 inches, while the Pro variant has a 6.7-inch display. Then we have different resolutions: the vanilla version has a Full HD+ display, while the Google Pixel 6 Pro has a Quad HD+ resolution with 1440 x 3120 pixels. Further, the Pro variant has the LTPO technology with an adaptive refresh rate from 1 to 120 Hz. The vanilla Pixel 6 lacks the LTPO technology and it has a maximum refresh rate of just 90 Hz. Both the phones feature an under-display fingerprint reader and stereo speakers, as well as a punch hole in the middle.

The Google Pixel 6 and the Pixel 6 Pro are powered by the Google Tensor mobile platform which is the first SoC made by Google. It is also the first processor coming with 2 Cortex-X1 CPUs: the two advanced cores run at a max frequency of 2.8 GHz. There are also two mid-end Cortex A76 cores with a frequency of 2.25 GHz and 4 low-power Cortex-A55 cores with a frequency of 1.8 GHz. The phones differ in terms of memory configurations: the Google Pixel 6 sports 8 GB of RAM and either 128 or 256 GB of internal storage depending on the configuration, while the Pixel 6 Pro has 12 GB of RAM and 128, 256, or 512 GB of native storage.

The Google Pixel 6 and the Pixel 6 Pro share the same 50 MP main camera with OIS and the same 12 MP ultrawide camera, but the Pro variant adds a 48 MP telephoto sensor with 4x optical zoom. Further, the Pixel 6 Pro has a better 11.1 MP front camera which supports 4K video recording, while the vanilla version has an inferior 8 MP camera with 1080p video recording.
Last but not least, the Google Pixel 6 Pro has a bigger battery: it is a unit with a capacity of 5003 mAh, while the vanilla Pixel 6 has just 4614 mAh.
Price
The starting price of the Google Pixel 6 is €649/$699, while the Pixel 6 Pro costs €899/$899. The Pixel 6 Pro is a better phone from almost every point of view: it has a better display, bigger battery, superior cameras, and better memory configurations.
