While Samsung launches its flagship grade smartphones with its Exynos chipset in various markets across the globe, many of its existing budget an mid range devices feature Qualcomm’s Snapdragon and MediaTek Helio processors. But a new report suggests that this all might be changing very soon.
According to an ETNewsreport, the South Korean tech giant is aiming on increasing the number of Galaxy smartphones that will feature its Exynos processors starting from 2022. Apparently, the move from the company would include its upcoming flagship handsets like the Galaxy S22 series along with mid range and even budget level devices. The report further added that Samsung is seeking on doubling the shipments for its Exynos chips next year.
Reportedly, the goal is to “raise the proportion” of the chipsets in Galaxy devices from 20 percent to between 50 percent and 60 percent. This report suggests that the brand is seeking bring its proprietary chipsets into more Galaxy phones after addressing many iof the major challenges with the upcoming Exynos chips. For those unaware, one of the major issues faced by the platform was heating caused by 5G communications, as per an industry source close to the matter.
Notably, the company’s System LSI Division has reportedly teamed with AMD to boost graphics performance, which is in line with our previous reports. With the world suffering from a global shortage of chipsets, it makes sense that the firm sticks with its own chipset. Keep in mind that this is still an unconfirmed report, so take it with a pinch of salt and stay tuned for more updates.

Xiaomi group smartphones have been running MIUI since the beginning. No matter the brand, whether it’s Xiaomi (formerly Mi), Redmi, or POCO, all handsets from them run the same software. However, POCO phones come with a different theme and the brand calls it MIUI for POCO. According to a reliable leaker, Redmi devices will also ship with a customized version of MIUI.
Redmi K40 Gaming Edition
Digital Chat Stationsays that Redmi smartphones will soon use a tweaked version of MIUI. This will help the brand to establish its own identity. However, he did not reveal when we will get to see the first iteration of MIUI designed for Redmi handsets.
We don’t think the MIUI for Redmi will differ in terms of features and functionality. It will most likely only have a new look just like how MIUI on POCO devices seems slightly different than on Redmi and Xiaomi-branded (Mi) handsets.
The implementation will be probably similar to what Huawei, OPPO, and vivo have been doing for years. HONOR devices run a tweaked version of EMUI called Magic UI, while realme UI is based on ColorOS. Similarly, OriginOS and Funtouch OS for iQOO smartphones are a bit different from the same software found on vivo phones.
What are your thoughts on Xiaomi diversifying MIUI based on brands? Do let us know in the comment section below.

Xiaomi recently launched its new Civi series smartphones with a brand-new design which the company touts as the most beautiful smartphone in the brand’s history. Rumors indicate that the upcoming flagship smartphone from the company — Xiaomi Mi 12 series could feature the same design scheme.
Now, a new report has surfaced online which reveals more details about the upcoming Xiaomi flagship smartphone. It is being said that the Mi 12 smartphone will be lighter and thinner with several improvements in terms of looks compared to the Mi 11 series.
It is also claimed that the Xiaomi Mi 12 will use dual-core materials and design schemes that can increase the energy density to a certain extent, and is said to pack a 5,000mAh battery. This means that the smartphone will have a thinner body despite packing a larger capacity battery.
The device will have a ceramic back panel, which isn’t the first time Xiaomi will be using it for its flagship smartphone. The Mi MIX 4 flagship smartphone from the company already comes with a ceramic body.
Recently, Digital Chat Station had revealed that the Mi 12 will have thinner bezels and chin, making for a better viewing experience. Further, it added that the curved display in the flagship lineup will be replaced with a hyperboloid solution, and will offer a higher screen-to-body ratio than its predecessor.
Internally, the upcoming flagship smartphone is said to come powered by the unannounced Qualcomm Snapdragon 898 chipset. If we are to go by the past record, then it could be the first smartphone in the world to come powered by the Snapdragon 898 SoC.
It is also being claimed that the new camera setup on the Mi 12 series will sport a 50-megapixel primary sensor over the previously reported 200-megapixel sensor. As for now, there’s no way of confirming this but we will get to know more about this upcoming smartphone as the launch date nears.
Samsung has sent out invites for its upcoming launch event which the company is calling “Galaxy Unpacked Part 2.” The event will be held online on 20th October at 7:00 AM PT or 10:00 AM ET but the South Korean giant has not revealed what is getting launched.
A post by Samsung announcing this new Galaxy Unpacked Part 2 event hints at some kind of personalization for Galaxy devices. The post reads: “Our users are multifaceted and live life in so many colorful, interesting, and unique ways. As such, the technology they use every day should reflect their individuality. Join Galaxy Unpacked Part 2 on October 20 to see how Samsung is opening up new experiences for self-expression through technology.”
While not much is known about the event at this time, it seems that Samsung is hinting at new color options for the Galaxy phones or full customization for the recently launched foldable smartphones from the brand.
The Samsung Galaxy S21 FE smartphone has been making rounds for several months now and the phone’s launch has been delayed a few times now. However, the device is unlikely to get launched at the 20th October event because of the chip shortage. There are reports that the phone could go official in January 2022, pushing the launch of the flagship Galaxy S22 series phones to somewhere in February.
There’s a possibility that the company plans to announce software-related features at the upcoming event and could reveal details about the Android 12 rollout, given that the South Korean firm has already rolled out two public beta versions.
To know for sure what exactly the company announces at the 20th October Galaxy Unpacked Part 2 event, we’ll have to wait for the event to take place.
OPPO is working on its next-generation Reno7 series smartphones which are expected to get launched in China next month. While not much is known about the upcoming phones, details have now started surfacing online.
After details about the camera sensor got leaked online, a new report now reveals the processors powering the upcoming phones. According to a Chinese tipster, the OPPO Reno7 series smartphones will come powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 920, Dimensity 1200, and Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipsets.
OPPO Reno 6 5G
It is safe to assume that the standard OPPO Reno7 will be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 920 chipset while the Pro model will come packed with the MediaTek Dimensity 1200 SoC. The top-end model, Reno7 Pro+ will have Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset and not the Snapdragon 888+ that we expected.
Apart from the chipsets powering the phones, nothing much is known about the devices. But we expect the top-end variant to come packed with up to 12GB of RAM and up to 256GB or 512GB of internal storage.
Recently, it was revealed that the OPPO Reno7 series will use large-sized camera sensors. and the report further says that the standard Reno7 will have a 50-megapixel Sony IMX766 primary sensor, which measures 1/1.56” in size.
Prior to that, it was revealed that the upcoming Reno-series flagship smartphones from OPPO will come with a metal frame and a punch-hole at the top left corner, similar to the design of its predecessor.
The OPPO Reno7 with model number PFDM00 has recently been approved by China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (CMIIT). This indicates that the phone’s launch isn’t far away. If that’s the case, then we expect the Chinese brand to announce a launch event in the coming days.
Its been a few weeks since Apple started selling the newly launched iPhone 13 series models in the markets across the world. The company has been facing issues with the production of its products due to chip shortage and it seems that the trouble for the company has now increased.
According to the latest report, Apple is cutting down the production of its iPhone 13 models by as many as 10 million units because of the chip shortages.
The technology giant was expected to produce about 90 million units of its newly launched smartphones in the fourth quarter of this year but it appears that the manufacturing partners of Apple have informed the company that the total will be lower because of shortage of components from Broadcom and Texas Instruments.
The development comes at a time when the supply for the Apple iPhone 13 series smartphones is also constrained. While delivery times for some of the models were already pushed, the situation could worsen with the holiday period about to begin soon.
The Apple iPhone 13 models use Broadcom AFEM-8215 front-end module and a Broadcom BCM59365 wireless power receiver, along with display power management IC, array driver, flash LED driver and dual repeater from Texas Instruments.
It also remains to be seen how the chip shortage will impact the upcoming MacBook Pro models powered by the Apple M1X chipset, set to be officially launched next week. Recently, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo had said that Apple would cut its MacBook shipments in half due to component shortages. This is believed to be related to the lack of power management integrated circuits.
Apple has just confirmed that the company will be hosting its “Unleashed” event next week on 18th October where it is expected to launch Apple MacBook Pro models powered by the yet unannounced M1X chipset.
Now, ahead of the official launch next week, details about the upcoming MacBook Pro models have surfaced online. This time, the information about the device’s specifications comes via Twitter user @dylandkt.

It is being claimed that the base model of the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro will come with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of internal storage. This is similar to the current generation’s high-end 13-inch and 16-inch models.
The leak also reveals that the laptop will feature a Mini-LED display and the bezels around the screen will be minimal, so thin that the bottom bezel won’t have a MacBook branding. Apple was testing a 120Hz refresh rate for the MacBook series but it is not yet confirmed if the laptop will come with support for the high refresh rate at launch.
Another major upgrade will be in terms of the webcam as the upcoming laptops are said to feature a 1080p webcam. It is also said that both base models will come with the same configuration and M1X chipset.
It is claimed that the company will be shipping the new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with a new charging brick. Earlier, it was reported that the upcoming laptops from Apple will come with a new MagSafe charging port.
Coming to the pricing, the report hints that the pricing of the upcoming MacBook Pro models will be similar to how the laptops are priced right now. For more details, we will have to wait for the launch event to take place next week.
Honor announced the Honor X20 SE back in June and it unveiled the Honor X20 5G in August. Recent reports claimed that the company will be soon launching another X20 series phone called the Honor X20 Max this month.

The tipster claimed that the Honor X30 Max should be debuting before Double Eleven (Nov. 11) shopping festival. Apart from saying that it has a 7-inch display and offers a good audio-visual experience, the tipster did not reveal any other information on its specs.
One of his previous Weibo posts claimed that the Honor phone with KKG-AN70 that was certified by China’s 3C authority last month will be breaking cover as the Honor X30 Max. The 3C certification revealed that it may ship with a 22.5W fast charger. This KKG-AN70 phone was also spotted at the CMIIT certification site last week.
It is believed that the “KKG” letters in the model number refer to its King Kong codename. Previous reports have claimed that the device will be powered by the Dimensity 1100 chipset and a 6,000mAh battery. For photography, it may house a 64-megapixel (main) + 2-megapixel (macro) + 2-megapixel (depth) triple camera unit. The other details of the phone are yet to appear.
In August, Honor launched the Honor Watch GS 3 smartwatch in China. It can be said based on a recent report that the company will confirm the availability of the smartwatch during the launch event of the X30 Max.
Earlier this year, iQOO launched the iQOO Neo5 smartphone and it was quickly followed by iQOO Neo5 Lite (Vitality Edition). Recent reports have revealed that the company might soon launch a new Neo branded phone in China. The final moniker of the device is not known yet. Chinese tipster Bald Panda has shared the key specifications of the upcoming iQOO Neo smartphone. Another Chinese tipster Arsenal has shared some more details about the phone.

The OPPO K9s reminds us of the Realme phone with RMX3461 model number, which is packed with almost identical specs. The RMX3461 will be launching soon in China with Realme Q3s moniker.
Realme is gearing up to launch the Realme Q3s phone. It is expected to go official at some point in this month in China. Reports have revealed that the Realme RMX3461/2/3 that was recently approved by the TENAA authority of China will debut in the home market as the Realme Q3s. Ahead of the launch, the RMX3641 handset has appeared on the Geekbench benchmarking site (via) with some of its key specs.
The Realme RMX3641 is powered by a Qualcomm chipset that includes four CPU cores clocking at 2.40GHz and four CPU cores ticking at 1.80GHz. The source code of the listing reveals that the chip is equipped with Adreno 642L GPU. These clues are enough to confirm that the device is powered by the Snapdragon 778G chipset.
The Geekbench listing further mentions that the RMX3641 has 8 GB of RAM, and it runs on Android 11 OS. In the single-core and multi-core tests of Geekbench 5, the handset scored 791 and 2783 points, respectively.
The TENAA listing of the RMX3641 revealed that it has a 6.59-inch LTPS panel that produces a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels. Speculations are rife that it supports a 144Hz refresh rate. It remains to be seen whether it will come preloaded with Realme UI 3.0 based Android 11.
The handset is equipped with 6GB / 8 GB / 12 GB of RAM and 128 GB / 256 GB of internal storage. It is backed by a 5,000mAh battery, which seemingly supports 30W rapid charging.
It has a 16-megapixel on the front for selfies. The rear-facing triple camera unit of the device features a 48-megapixel primary lens, a 2-megapixel macro camera, and a 2-megapixel depth assist lens.
Taiwanese company Gogoro is riding the crest of turbulence in the political scene with its innovative hot-swappable battery technology for electric scooters. The swappable battery technology will be kickstarted with two leading Chinese brands – Yadea and DJC, with a few of the two-wheel vehicles from these two brands compatible with the technology.
The move is Gogoro’s first large-scale expansion outside its home turf of Taiwan, and the company will hope that its swappable battery technology in both Yadea and DJC e-scooter models will enhance the sale of these models in China. China remains the largest market for electric scooters with over 300 million riders with a huge potential underneath. Yadea is the largest electric two-wheel vehicles manufacturer while DJC is also a renowned e-scooter manufacturer in China.
It is unclear what proportion of the market is targeted by this new Gogoro partnership with the two Chinese manufacturers, but the numbers could rise tremendously if the swappable battery technology is successful in China. Both Yadea and DJC have unveiled e-scooters designed to work with Gogoro’s hot-swappable battery called Huan-Huan. The models mark the beginning of their partnership with Gogoro, and we are bound to see more Gogoro-powered e-scooters from both companies.
The swappable battery technology allows users to scale up the range of their electric scooters by bypassing the wait to charge a depleted battery. Indeed, users can buy e-scooters without a battery at a reduced cost and then rent batteries via a subscription. The billing of the rented battery will be based on the actual power consumption of the battery. Newly charged batteries can be obtained at the nearest Gogoro-themed GoStation within 6 seconds. The operation of the GoStation is enhanced by cloud support for a seamless manner of getting available batteries.
The Gogoro partnership could be scaled up to cover other popular Chinese e-scooter brands and it is bound to expand, as it coincides with the official policy of Beijing to phase out gas and diesel-powered vehicles by 2025. Various incentives have been put in place to drive the policy for a sustainability-oriented transportation system in China in the years to come.

A few weeks ago, Samsung released its latest upper-midrange phone: the Galaxy M52 5G. It is the successor of the Samsung Galaxy M51 and it brings several improvements to the shelves, but its predecessor has still much to say even a year after its release. Despite its very affordable street prices, the Samsung Galaxy M51 remains one of the best battery phones out there and it offers a better camera experience than the new Galaxy M52 5G. These are the reason why the Galaxy M51 may still offer a higher value to several users. And this is the reason why we decided to publish a comparison between Samsung Galaxy M52 5G and Samsung Galaxy M51 highlighting the differences between their specifications.
Samsung Galaxy M52 5G vs Samsung Galaxy M51
Samsung Galaxy M52 5G
Samsung Galaxy M51
DIMENSIONS AND WEIGHT
164.2 x 76.4 x 7.4 mm, 173 grams
163.9 x 76.3 x 9.5 mm, 213 grams
DISPLAY
6.7 inches, 1080 x 2400p (Full HD+), 393 ppi, Super AMOLED
6.7 inches, 1080 x 2400p (Full HD+), 393 ppi, Super AMOLED Plus
If we only consider the look of these two devices, the Samsung Galaxy M52 5G looks more beautiful. Its camera module is more minimalistic, the design is thinner and lighter. Both the phones are made of polycarbonate and both come with a single punch hole placed centrally on the display. The screen to body ratio is similar, with narrow bezels on all the sides. The Samsung Galaxy M51 offers something more in terms of build quality because its front glass is protected by Corning’s Gorilla Glass 3+, but if we exclude this, there are no important differences when it comes to the build quality.
Display
Samsung Galaxy M52 5G and Samsung Galaxy M51 are equipped with Super AMOLED Plus displays sporting a diagonal of 6.7 inches and a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels. The image quality is exactly the same and the displays do not come with embedded fingerprint readers. The fingerprint readers are placed at the sides, on the power keys. The only difference between the displays is the refresh rate: the new Samsung Galaxy M52 5G has a 120 Hz refresh rate, while the Galaxy M51 has a standard 60 Hz refresh rate. So, with the Galaxy M52 5G, you can get a smoother viewing experience and it will be useful especially if you are a gamer.
Specs & Software
The 5G connectivity is one of the most important differences between Samsung Galaxy M52 5G and Galaxy M51. On the former, you can get this connectivity, while the latter only supports 4G LTE. Further, the Samsung Galaxy M52 5G has a stronger processor: the Snapdragon 778G mobile platform running at a max frequency of 2.4 GHz, way better than the Snapdragon 730G found on the Galaxy M51.
