The curious case of Realme GT Neo 2T in China

Oct 19, 2021

The world’s fastest-growing smartphone brand Realme has a habit of releasing new handsets every other week. The company is no stranger to rebranded products, either. But today, the brand has done something really weird and traditionally unheard of. It seems to have relaunched an existing model in the same market with huge fanfare.

A few hours back, Realme launched a new phone in China called the Realme GT Neo 2T (stylized as realme GT NEO2T). With both the Realme GT Neo 2 and 2T present in the same market, things were getting too confusing for the average consumer.

So we decided to take a closer look at the newly launched model. Surprisingly, after careful analysis, we have come to the conclusion that this device is nothing but a realme GT NEO with a glass back and a new name.

Chinese handset maker Realme had been teasing the launch of Realme GT Neo 2T for the past few days as if it was a brand-new smartphone. The brand even held a full-blown press event to unveil this phone.

These actions made us believe that the device was indeed a new model. But turns out, it isn’t.

Initially, we were confused as to why the Realme GT Neo 2T sports a different design when compared to Realme GT Neo 2. We got even more skeptical when we compared the specifications in detail. Neither the specs nor the design suggested that both these handsets were part of the same lineup/generation.

Then, as we started comparing the new phone with the previously released devices, we hit a home run. Upon closer observation, we can, for sure, confirm that the Realme GT Neo 2T is a Realme GT Neo (review) in disguise.

Earlier this year, realme replaced the Realme X series with the introduction of the Realme GT lineup but confirmed it only in August. The first model in the lineup was simply called the Realme GT (stylized as realme GT 5G). The same model was launched worldwide.

The original GT smartphone from March 2021 was soon followed by a new model called Realme GT Neo (stylized as realme GT NEO) in the same month. The newer device later made its way to India in the form of the Realme X7 Max at the end of May.

Now, almost seven months after its initial debut, Realme has re-released this handset in a new avatar. It is called Realme GT Neo 2T and has a glass back instead of plastic.

The name and the rear finish are the only major differences between the two products. In fact, even their dimensions are identical (158.5 x 73.3 x 8.4mm).

Realme GT Neo Highlights — **Full Specifications**

If we talk about minor changes between these two models, there are things like charging speed and chipset. The original Realme GT Neo only supported 50W fast charging, compared to 65W on the Realme GT Neo 2T. But interestingly, there’s a variant of the GT Neo which has these missing features. If you recall, around late May, Realme had launched a new variant called Realme GT Neo Flash Edition with 65W fast charging in China.

As far as silicon is concerned, both Realme GT Neo and Realme GT Neo 2T house a MediaTek Dimensity 1200 SoC inside, However, the chipset on the latter model has some optimizations made possible through ‘Dimensity 5G Open Resource Architecture’. Hence, it is known as Dimensity 1200-AI, just like the silicon powering the OnePlus Nord 2.

Coming to the price, despite being the same phone, the Realme GT Neo 2T is costlier than the Reame GT Neo. If the new product was announced alongside the original, we would have been fine with the price as it offers a premium matte glass finish.

However, seven months later, it does not make sense when we know that this is the exact same handset. It even runs the same old Realme UI 2.0 based on Android 11. So it will be also receiving identical software support (2 Android updates). Just because Realme advertises Realme GT Neo 2T as a brand-new phone, it doesn’t make it one.

At the end of the day, we have to agree that Realme is good at doing business. It knows how to target customers and market products. Though the realme GT Neo 2T is a rebadged smartphone from a few months ago, the company presents it in such a way that no one seems to remember that it’s nearly the same phone from seven months ago.

HP Projector CC200 bundled with an 84-inch screen and Roku Express launched

Oct 19, 2021

Renowned PC maker Hewlett Packard better known as HP has launched the Projector CC200, a portable projector with a LED light source and some excellent features. The projector is licensed to GAC Technology Group, a leading designer and manufacturer of innovative smart projection solutions. So, it is not directly manufactured by HP.

The HP Projector CC200 provides a cheaper option than some of the models it is bound to compete with. It is a bedside or coffee table-type device with some relatively short-throw/big-screen display potentials. The projector offers full HD resolution with 200 lumens light source. It also features two 3W speaker-system and can produce an image of up to 80-inch at a distance of 2.1 meters.

At the back of the CC200 are two USB slots, an HDMI and a 3.5mm audio-out jack. The projector is however lacking in wireless technology or smart functionality. It is however possible to pair the CC200 with a streaming stick which is available as a bundle in the US. The lifetime of the projector is estimated at 20,000 hours with a 1.2:1 throw ratio.

The HP Projector CC200 is available for now in the United States. An 84-inch screen and a Roku Express streaming stick are part of the bundle and as mentioned earlier, it is priced at just $260. Global availability and other release information are lacking at this time.

DJI Mavic 3, Action 2 camera, and RC Pro smart controller certified by US FCC

Oct 19, 2021

Days back, some renders of the DJI Mavic 3 drone revealed a more powerful battery system that will expand its flight time significantly. In an indication that the eventual unveiling of the products is imminent, the Mavic 3 consumer drone and Action 2 waterproof camera have entered the United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC) database.

The FCC is the clearinghouse for all issues relating to certification and issuance of unique codes to companies to identify wireless products in the market. The rigorous process involves several stages culminating in the issuance of the FCC code. The DJI Mavic 3 drone has an FCC code of SS3-L2P2104. As per the FCC filings, it is likely that two models are on the offing: the L2A, which is the DJI Mavic 3, and the L2P, which refers to DJI Mavic 3 Cine version.

We can confirm the earlier leak as per the battery of the DJI Mavic 3. It is a 15.4 V, 5,000 mAH, 77 Wh battery. Up to 46 minutes of flight time is assured on the Mavic 3, which has some far-reaching implications on its applicability. It will be one of the strong marketing points for the Mavic 3.

DJI Action 2 camera has FCC ID: 2ANDR-MC2112021 and is the latest action camera from DJI. It could be released as early as October 27. The DJI Action 2 camera will possibly come with a 1/1.7-inch CMOS sensor and an aperture of f/2.8, for up to 155-degree wide view. The camera will feature a new modular design and make filming more immersive with an array of accessories. The Action 2 will support a wireless pad although the details are lacking at this time.

1 of 5

The new smart controller also sighted in the FCC database is the RC Pro. It is designed to maximize the functionality of the Mavic 3 or any other compatible drone that is equipped with DJI’s proprietary video transmission system, OcuSync 3.0.

The RC Pro would allow the Mavic 3 to transmit HD video in real-time up to a distance of 15km and is available with the Cine version of the drone.

The DJI Mavic 3 and the RC Pro controller could be launched on November 5.

Xiaomi shares jump 5% following announcement about producing own electric cars in 2024

Oct 19, 2021

Lei Jun, CEO of Chinese smartphone giant Xiaomi, on Tuesday revealed that the company is expected to mass produce its own electric cars in the first half of 2024. The comments were made at an investor event and were later confirmed by the company.

Right after the news, Xiaomi’s shares in Hong Kong jumped over 5% (via: CNBC).

The company’s previous major announcement regarding its new venture was made back in March where it had said that it plans to invest $10 billion into the business over the next 10 years. These plans were solidified last month when Xiaomi officially registered its electric vehicle business Xiaomi EV Inc. The novel company now has 300 employees and Lei Jun himself leads the group.

The Chinese market’s potential for electric vehicles is boundless. With incentives such as almost every fifth new car registered last month being rechargeable in the country, new players have been making their way into the market, which has now gotten more crowded than ever. Recently, even Chinese search giant Baidu launched an electric car company of its own in January, hiring a CEO for the business a month later.

When Xiaomi launches its own electric cars in 2024, it will be facing competition from companies like BYD, Nio, and Xpeng as well as from the American Tesla.

China’s electric vehicle market has had favorable government support over the last few years which helped the industry grow. While some of that support has been reduced, the market is still growing.

Over the last few years, China’s electric car sector has benefited from favorable government assistance, which has aided the industry’s growth. That backing may have dwindled but the market continues to grow. According to market research firm Canalys, 1.9 million electric vehicles will be sold in China in 2021, up 51% year on year.

Oct 19, 2021

A new report has revealed that China, US, and South Korea hold the top three ranks in the global Esports market. These three nations account for the highest income in the world for Esports.

The information arrives from Omdia (Via GameDeveloper) who also noted that the highest income changed from the US to China in the past five years. Back in 2018, the US ranked first, while China and South Korea came in second and third respectively. But as of 2019, the China has surpassed the US in terms of Esports revenue, with South Korea arriving third, Germany ranking fourth, and Britain holding the fifth spot.

Furthermore, Omdia also shared its projection for the Esports industry till the year 2025. It believes that the top five countries accounted for 73 percent of the global Esports revenue in 2020, although, this share will drop to 69 percent as lower ranked countries slowly increase their market share in the industry thank to the expansion of high speed networks.

Notably, iResearch, a Market research and consultancy based firm, shared their 2021 China Esports Industry Report back in May 2021, which shared the overall market size of China’s Esports industry. The report believed that the market will surpass 145 billion Yuan (roughly 22.5 billion US Dollars) in 2020. The largest contributor to this is the rapid growth of the mobile Esports gaming market. This figure is expected to surpass 180 billion Yuan within this year.

Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra to feature a waterdrop notch display: Report

By

Oct 19, 2021

While the Samsung Galaxy S22 series is still a while away from launch, various rumors have surfaced online in the recent weeks. Now, a new report has revealed that the Galaxy S22 Ultra might feature a waterdrop notch display on the front.

According to a LetsGoDigital report, a source has revealed new details regarding the high end Ultra variant. A well known source from South Korea, Super Roader, who is also a former employee of the wireless division of Samsung Electronics. At times certain reports might have conflicting information, and now, Super Roader believes that the camera system on the Galaxy S22 Ultra is different from what we have reported on in the past.

Reportedly, the South Korean tech giant will feature a waterdrop notch over a punch hole selfie shooter on the front display. But the news also implies that the dual camera island modules on the rear might not be the official design of the Galaxy S22 Ultra. Although, it does seem odd that the brand is aiming on equipping a front camera design that it ships with its budget Galaxy A series of smartphones.

As of right now, finer details regarding the high end Galaxy S22 Ultra is still unknown. However, various reports had hinted at it being a successor to the Galaxy Note series. Yesterday, we had also covered schematics of the device, which showcased the smartphone with a built in S Pen slot as well. So stay tuned for more updates.

Google has high hopes for Pixel 6 series & aims to manufacture 7 million of them

By

Oct 19, 2021

Google is set to reveal its Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro today and it seems that the California-based company has a lot riding on the flagship phones.

A report by Nikkei Asia shows that Google has asked its suppliers to manufacture over 7 million Pixel 6 series smartphones. This has been claimed to be around double the 3.7 million sales figure from last year.

The goal is despite Google planning on selling the exact number of devices compared to last year – the 2020 portfolio included the Pixel 4a, Pixel 4a 5G, and Pixel 5 while 2021’s lineup is comprised of the Pixel 5a, Pixel 6, and Pixel 6 Pro.

And as if the 7 million figure isn’t big enough already, Nikkei’s sources claim that Google is planning on producing 5 million Pixel 5a devices as well, making a total of a whopping 12 million. Sure, the figure is nowhere near Samsung’s goal of producing 20 million Galaxy S22 series smartphones, but it is still a start and an indicator for what’s to come.

However, the 5 million Pixel 5a figure is a little ambiguous. This is because the device has only been launched in the United States and Japan, due to which it is unclear if the request to the suppliers is only for the two countries or if Google plans on selling the phone in more countries.

Regardless, if Google’s hopes come to fruition, it is likely that the company will be stealing the market share from companies like Apple and Samsung, at least in the US. The Pixel 6 models are after all poised to get four years of OS updates and five years of security patches, positioning them right above Samsung and under Apple in terms of software support.

Google is apparently also working on a new Chromebook codenamed Halvor, which would be the successor to the Pixelbook Go and is said to arrive sometime in 2021.

Amazfit GTR 3 India price revealed ahead of October 20 launch

Last week, Zepp Health (formerly Huami) announced its latest generation of smartwatches. Since then, these wearables have been slowly making their way to various markets around the world. They have been now confirmed to launch in India on October 20 (tomorrow).

Zepp Health introduced three new smartwatches a few days back. They are Amazfit GTR 3, Amazfit GTR 3 Pro, and Amazfit GTS 3. All three will be officially unveiled tomorrow in India.

Ahead of that, their availability has been confirmed by partner retailers. In fact, we already know the price of one of these models.

According to a report by MySmartPrice, the Amazfit GTR 3 will be sold in India via Flipkart. It will be priced at ₹13,999 and will be available for purchase at 12 PM starting tomorrow itself. Buyers will be able to avail 10% discount on SBI Credit card transactions.

On the other hand, the Amazfit GTR 3 Pro and the Amazfit GTS 3 will be sold by Amazon India. Unfortunately, that’s all the information we have at the moment. It’s not known how much these wearables will cost and when they will go on sale.

Anyway, going by the price of Amazfit GTR 3, the Amazfit GTR 3 Pro should cost more than that. Whereas, since the price of GTR 3 is almost similar to its predecessor, the Amazfit GTS 3 will likely carry a near-identical price tag of its forerunner.

The Apple ‘Unleashed’ event saw the launch of multiple significant Apple products including the all-new MacBook Pros, AirPods 3, and others. These were all expected though and had been leaked quite a bit so didn’t really come as a surprise. What did come as a surprise though was a microfiber Polishing Cloth accessory designed for cleaning the screens of Apple devices.

Apple has barely given any information about the cloth itself and hasn’t specified its material, only stating on its website that it’s “made with a soft, nonabrasive material” and “cleans any Apple display, including nano-texture glass, safely and effectively,” which is understandable considering that the cloth is nothing but a…cloth.

Its images reveal something with a striking resemblance to a mouse mat. And apart from having an Apple logo stamped on it, it really doesn’t seem to offer anything over a regular microfiber cloth one can grab for a fraction of the price.

Apple recommends using a “soft, lint-free cloth” for cleaning all of its products and to avoid “abrasive cloths, towels, paper towels, or similar items” in one of its support pages. Hopefully, the Polishing Cloth will be meeting these requirements.

Last but not the least, there is even a compatibility list mentioning almost the entirety of Apple’s hardware portfolio, just in case you’re wondering if you’d rub the wrong device with it and accidentally summon an evil genie.

While the Apple Polishing Cloth sells separately for $19, it does come free with the Pro Display XDR, meaning you would have to spend $5,000 if you wish to get it along with your purchase.

Lei Jun, Xiaomi Chief Executive and Founder, has stated that the company is planning on beginning mass production for its self branded cars in the first half of 2024.

A spokesperson of the Chinese tech giant shared the news (Via Reuters) that was based on a comment made by the senior official during an investor event. Zang Ziyuan, a director in Xiaomi’s international marketing department also shared the news on his official Weibo account (a Chinese microblogging website). Notably, this marks the first official goal for the company in its upcoming electric vehicle division, which was first announced earlier this year.

Furthermore, the brand’s shares also rose by 5.4 percent, which also makes it the biggest daily percentage rise since 12th May 2021. Back in March, the company also stated that it would be investing a sizeable 10 billion US Dollars for its electric car project over the course of the next ten years. In August, Xiaomi had also completed the business registration for its electric vehicle unit as well.

As of right now, the company is on a hiring spree for its car project, although, it had yet to reveal if it will partner up with an established car brand for its vehicle or if it will produce this car on its own. So stay tuned for more, as we will be providing updates when additional information is available regarding this matter.

The Galaxy Z Flip3 is arguably the hottest foldable smartphone in the market right now. The device is in the news since its debut. That’s because Samsung has been continuously promoting it one way or another. For the latest promotion, the South Korean tech giant has partnered with Marvel and Disney.

Samsung has announced (via SamMobile) two new accessories for the Galaxy Z Flip3 in association with Marvel and Disney. The first one is a Marvel-branded strap and the second one is a Mickey Mouse-shaped ring.

These two products are currently exclusive to Taiwan priced at NT$690 and NT$890 respectively. They can be attached to the official silicon cover for Galaxy Z Flip3 sold by Samsung.

Above all, the new accessories will be only available at Samsung Experience Hall, Samsung Wisdom Hall, and Samsung Mall. The limited availability suggests that the new strap and ring may not make their way to other markets.

At the same time, the company also unveiled six additional straps for Galaxy Z Flip3 designed by local Taiwanese artists. However, the availability of these straps will be only announced in November.

Lastly, the Galaxy Z Flip3-shaped case for Galaxy Buds Live, Galaxy Buds Pro, and Galaxy Buds2 also made their debut in Taiwan priced at NT$990.
