Sep 6, 2021

Both Qualcomm and MediaTek are gearing up for the launch of their next gen high end mobile processors. While we had recently reported that the new Snapdragon 800 series chip will be based on the 4nm Samsung process, a new report has suggested that the upcoming Dimensity 2000 series processor will also use a 4nm node, but from TSMC.

The news arrives from Weibo tipster @肥威 who stated that the upcoming next generation flagship Dimensity 5G SoC will be quite power efficient since it will be based on TSMC’s latest 4nm process node. He further added that the specifications of this chip will be notable thanks to its ARM V9 architecture, which will enable it to offer better performance over the previous generation.

On the other hand, we had also reported on a new rumor Known tipster Digital Chat Station that stated that the Snapdragon 895 or 898 is expected to be based on the 4nm process from Samsung. The South Korean tech giant will manufacture the base variant while TSMC will reportedly make its Plus variants later on. Although, keep in mind that these are still unconfirmed reports so take it with a pinch of salt for now.

However, MediaTek has been gaining grounds in the smartphone processor market in recent times. It is now a notable contender in multiple segments and through the upcoming chip might seek to better rival Snapdragon processors in the high end market, which has been dominated by Qualcomm. So stay tuned for more, as we will be providing updates when additional information is available.

REDMAGIC, the sub-brand of ZTE has launched yet another gaming smartphone in China. The new model called REDMAGIC 6S Pro is a slightly upgraded version of the RedMagic 6 Pro from earlier this year. The company also announced a new budget smartwatch dubbed as REDMAGIC Watch Vitality Edition and other accessories. Let’s take a look at what this new phone has to offer.

REDMAGIC 6S Pro Specifications and Features

The REDMAGIC 6S Pro is almost identical to the older RedMagic 6 Pro in terms of features. There are only a few differences between them. The new handset is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888+ chipset instead of a vanilla Snapdragon 888. Further, in addition to two touch sensors on the back, the device’s software, cooling system, and touch sampling rate get an upgrade.

On the front, the phone sports a 6.8-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels, 165Hz refresh rate, and 720Hz touch sampling rate. The screen has a 1000000:1 contrast ratio and an under-display fingerprint sensor with support for heart rate monitoring. This SGS-certified (low smear/blue-light) screen also supports DC Dimming.

As mentioned earlier, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888+ SoC runs this smartphone. The silicon is paired with up to 18GB LPDDR5 dual-channel RAM and 512GB UFS 3.1 storage. To keep the thermals down, the device uses ICE7.0 multi-dimensional cooling system consisting of composite graphene, aluminum middle frame, 20,000 RPM fan with RGB lights, VC heat sink, thermal conductivity gel, and more.

Like any other gaming smartphone, the cameras on this are also mediocre, at least on paper. It features the same 64MP (wide) + 8MP (ultra-wide) + 2MP (macro) triple rear camera setup and an 8MP front-facing camera like its forerunner.

On the connectivity front, the handset supports dual-SIM, 5G, WiFi 6E, Bluetooth 5.1, NFC, GNSS (GPS, BeiDou, GLONASS), USB 3.0 Type-C, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. It has all the essential sensors like an accelerometer, proximity sensor, compass, ambient light sensor, and gyroscope.

The phone runs the new REDMAGIC OS 4.5 based on nubia UI with Android 11 as base layer. The software comes with new and improved features like REDMAGIC Projection (wired/wireless display output), Super Base (game library and new virtual assistant), and Game Assistant (gaming-related tweaks). There are also new custom themes based on games like Honor of Kings and Game for Peace.

Other features of the REDGMAGIC 6S Pro include dual stereo speakers with support for DTS: X Ultra, capacitive shoulder buttons, 4,500mAh battery, and 120W fast charging. Last but not least, it measures 169.86 x 77.19 x 9.5mm in dimensions and weighs 215g.

REDMAGIC 6S Pro Price and Availability

The REDMAGIC 6S Pro arrives in three color options, namely Shining Black, Star White, and Transparent Edition. The black color comes in both 8GB and 12GB RAM variants, while the White is limited to 12GB RAM. Whereas, the transparent model can be bought in either 12GB, 16GB RAM, or 18GB versions. Additionally, there’s also a Tencent Games Battlefield Camouflage Limited Edition package with some accesssories.

Having said that, the REDMAGIC 6S Pro will retail for the following price tags in China.

Shining Black / Star White
- 8GB + 128GB – ¥3,999 ($619)
- 12GB + 128GB – ¥4,399 ($681)
- 12GB + 256GB – ¥4,799 ($743)
Transparent Edition
- 12GB + 128GB – ¥4,499 ($697)
- 12GB + 256GB – ¥4,899 ($759)
- 16GB + 256GB – ¥5,399 ($836)
- 18GB + 512GB – ¥6,399 ($991)
Tencent Games Battlefield Camouflage Limited Edition
- 18GB + 512GB + Accessories – ¥6,999 ($1,084)

The handset is already up for pre-order in China. The first sale for the device is scheduled for September 9.

Like the RedMagic 6 Pro, the REGMAGIC 6S Pro will likely get a global launch in the coming days.

Samsung has sold its $1.3 billion stake in China’s BYD

Sep 6, 2021

Samsung Electronics has just sold its 1.6 percent stake in China’s BYD, which is worth around 1.5 trillion Won (roughly 1.3 billion US Dollars). The move arrives as a surprise considering how many consumer electronic brands are racing to develop electric and self driving cars.

According to a KedGlobal report, the South Korean tech giant has stated that its remaining stake at the Chinese automobile maker is now at 0.3 percent as of the end of the first quarter. In other words, it previously held a total 1.9 percent stake that was worth 1.7 trillion won at the time. The world’s largest smartphone brand had bought the stake back in 2016 as an effort to strengthen its bond with the Chinese electric car and battery manufacturer.

Furthermore, it was also to boost its automotive chip business as well. Although, the company selling its stake has puzzled many since various tech giants are moving towards next generation vehicles. So selling its stake at an established automobile brand would seem like a step in the opposite direction. As per some, the company decided to sell the BYD share to make profit as BYD’s shares have risen significantly in the past few years.

Although other stated that Samsung doesn’t have any major reason to sell off its BYD stake since the company already has a sizeable cash reserve of its own that amounts to around 100 billion US Dollars. On the other hand, the firm is also currently aiming on investing 17 billion US Dollars to build a new chip plant close to its existing factory in Austin, Texas.

Google is expected to release Android 12 stable this month. Certain partner OEMs are also anticipated to drop new versions of their mobile software based on the latest version of Android following that. One such company is OPPO and it has officially started teasing its next major release called ColorOS 12.

The official ColorOS Weibo account of ColorOS shared a teaser image for ColorOS 12 earlier today. The picture shows the ColorOS Clock icon showing 12 o’clock. The post reads that the company will share more information in detail tomorrow (September 7).

We believe OPPO will be announcing the date for ColorOS 12 launch event tomorrow, which was recently leaked – September 13. For those who don’t know, OPPO held a dedicated event for ColorOS 11 last year after Android 11 hit the stable channel.

Hence, the same could happen this year. This means Android 12 Stable could get announced as early as today or some other day before the OPPO event.

As of now, we only know a few tidbits regarding ColorOS 12 based on Android 12. The new OPPO software is said to come with a new feature called ‘Cross Screen Interconnection’, which is nothing but a clone of HUAWEI Multi Screen Collaboration. The company is also tipped to implement features and design languages from various other Chinese Android skins like MIUI, Flyme, Smartisan OS, and HydrogenOS.

ColorOS 12 will not only be found on OPPO smartphones but also on OnePlus and realme. That’s because OnePlus phones sold in China run ColorOs for OnePlus, whereas in international markets, the same software with some tweaks is called OxygenOS. Lastly, it is a known fact that realme UI is nothing but ColorOS with certain changes.

The leak also revealed the model number of this smartphone, which is SM8250. Unfortunately, finer details regarding this device is currently unknown and we have no way of confirming if this Redmi smartphone is even in the works.

Next-gen AMD Rembrandt (Ryzen 6000) APUs may already be in Mass Production, suggests rumor

Sep 6, 2021

From what we could gain from the reports over the last few years, it was expected that AMD Rembrandt would arrive sometime in early 2022. But if recent claims are anything to go by, we may see a launch sooner than expected. According to a renowned leaker, AMD Rembrandt (Ryzen 6000) APUs have already hit mass production and may arrive in the first half of 2022.

AMD's packaging plants in mainland China will complete six new products in the first half of next year.

— Greymon55 (@greymon55) September 3, 2021

Rembrandt is AMD’s next-gen APU that is based on the enhanced Zen3+ architecture and integrates RDNA 2 GPUs. Utilizing both LPDDR5 and DDR5 capabilities, these APUs will be fabricated on TSMC’s 6nm process nodes. With a maximum of 8/16 cores/threads, these APUs are expected to join the Ryzen 6000 series.

Followed this, would be the Zen3+ AMD Rembrandt-H and Rembrandt-U with TDP of 35-45 watts and 15-25 watts respectively. Rembrandt-H will feature 6nm process node, Navi2X (RDNA2) GPU architecture whereas Rembrandt-U will have Navi 2 (RDNA2) GPU architecture. Coupling with them will be the processor, codenamed Barcelo-U that will be based on Zen3 technology, 7nm process node, Vega 4th gen GPU architecture, having a TDP of 12-25 watts, and the same core/threads as the other two, 8/16 max.

[AMD APUs for 2022] 🧐

Rembrandt-H | 45W | Zen3+ | Navi2 | 6nm | LPDDR5/DDR5
Rembrandt-U | 15W | Zen3+ | Navi2 | 6nm | LPDDR5/DDR5
Barcelo-U | 15W | Zen3 | Vega 7 | 7nm
DragonCrest | 9W | Zen2 | Navi2 | 7nm | LPDDR5
Pollock | 4.5W | Zen | Vega | 14nm

— _rogame (@_rogame) December 19, 2020

The H-series is supposed to power high-end notebooks, U-series is meant for ultra-low-power notebooks. The other two, DragonCrest and Pollack families of processors, scheduled to launch alongside the above-mentioned ones, will power the ultra-low TDP notebooks. The current AMD Ryzen lineup, Ryzen 9 5980HX, shares a lot of the same features as the upcoming APUs with an exception to the updated LPDDR5/DDR5 memory capability and making use of the Ryzen 6000 series of processors.

That said, we will continue to track this, as the exact timeline for these launches is not defined yet.

Sep 6, 2021

Vivo is gearing up to launch its next-generation premium smartphone lineup — the Vivo X70 series which includes three models — X70, X70 Pro, and X70 Pro+. It has also been confirmed that these phones will come packed with the company’s self-developed Vivo V1 Image Signal Processing (ISP) chip.

Ahead of the launch of the Vivo X70 series smartphones, a new phone from the company was recently spotted on TENAA, carrying model number V2130A. Now, a new report claims that the smartphone is Vivo S10e.

Vivo S10 and Vivo S10 Pro launched in China with 44MP dual Selfie, Dimensity 1100, and 44W fast charging support — Vivo S10 Series

The report also speculates that the Vivo S10e could get launched along with the Vivo X70 series smartphones on 9th September. However, there’s no such indication from the Chinese company so far.

For the uninitiated, Vivo had launched the Vivo S10 series of smartphones in July this year, which includes two models — Vivo S10 and S10 Pro, powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 1100 chipset and up to 12GB of RAM.

As the name indicates, the Vivo S10e will be a trimmed-down version of the Vivo S10 smartphone. The TENAA listing reveals that the phone will feature a 6.44-inch AMOLED display with 1080 x 2400 pixels screen resolution.

Under the hood, the device will be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 900 octa-core processor clocked at 2.4GHz. It is likely to come in three RAM options — 6GB, 8GB, and 12GB, coupled with either 128GB or 256GB of internal storage.

It will come with a triple-camera setup on the back, consisting of a 64-megapixel primary sensor, an 8-megapixel secondary lens, a 2-megapixel tertiary sensor. On the front side, there will be a 32-megapixel snapper for taking selfies and video calling.

The smartphone will be running the Android 11 operating system out-of-the-box along with the company’s own custom user interface on top. The device will be powered by a 3,970mAh battery with 44W fast charging technology.

Apple iPhone 13’s Satellite Communication feature to be reportedly available only in select countries

By

-

Sep 6, 2021

A hint was dropped by a renowned analyst that iPhone 13 could support LEO (low-earth-orbit) satellite communication, allowing users to communicate via messages and phone calls even when cellular coverage is unavailable. Being such a unique addition, it comes with its own set of limitations. It has been reported that iPhone 13s sold in certain markets might not get to see this feature from Apple.

As per the reports, the emergency satellite feature is only going to work in areas that do not have a cellular presence and is further narrowed down to only a few countries. Even though apple envisions deploying more of its satellite to democratize satellite communication, it is still years away. It has been further clarified that there’s no way it can be used as a satellite phone to make calls anywhere in the world without cellular coverage now. It’s only a thing for the future.

Having this feature onboard is a tedious task and requires hardware that isn’t quite ready yet and therefore, will have its own high costs. Also, this will certainly ignite a revolt between mobile carriers and Apple.

Apparently, Apple is working on two ways in which this feature could be integrated, one is to transmit short emergency text and the second is to send SOS distress signals, initially via iMessage, to contact either an emergency service or close friends without any cellular signal during a crisis, for example, in a plane crash or a sinking ship. This will eventually be extended to phone calls as well.

This, however, is going to be a little slow and may take a minute or two to get a signal, and will require iPhone 13 users to be outdoors to make use of the LEO satellite communication feature.

iPhone 13 lineup is expected to be officially unveiled in September, and we are yet to find if Apple will introduce this feature for sure.

Google Camera Go, the trimmed-down version of the Pixel smartphone’s Google Camera application was launched by the technology giant in March last year. Over time, the company kept adding more and more features and capabilities.

Now, the latest version of the Google Camera Go 2.5 has a new MOD version by “Greatness” that brings support for several more devices. It comes with added features like Portrait Mode and Night Mode, among others.

There are now basically three versions of the Google Camera application available — the normal Google Camera, the lighter version as Google Camera Go, and the new MOD version with support for auxiliary cameras.

The company has also added Google image processing which has been well-received by the users of the Pixel smartphones. Although the Google Camera Go is a trimmed version of the app on the premium Pixel phones and the company is also adding features from its flagship phones, do not expect the performance to be on par with that.

The latest Google Camera Go 2.5 MOD should be available for almost every Android smartphone running version 8 or above but there’s a possibility that it won’t work with some devices, especially those that are very old or outdated.

Google had said that the Camera Go application was built for Android Go smartphone users with a clean and simple interface so that it’s easier to use for first-time users. The app also tracks how much photo and video storage space is available and helps users clear up space to ensure that there’s ample space for storing new memories.

BMW unveils CE 02 electric mini-bike concept focusing on urban youngsters

Sep 6, 2021

BMW, the company known for its luxury cars, has lately been focusing on electric vehicles and has revealed several concepts over the past few years. In the latest move, the firm has unveiled a new concept — BMW CE 02 mini-bike.

The BMW CE 02, which is revealed just a week before the IAA Mobility Conference in the company’s home market Germany, is a two-wheeler that resembles the CE 04 concept bike which the company plans to start producing.

It has a minimalist look in silver and black colors with “technoid typography.” There’s a circular LED headlight as well as a small display sitting between the handlebars for displaying information like speed and battery status.

Interestingly, the company has opted to make it a simple digital display for necessary information, without the need to connect the bike to a smartphone or an application, which is frankly refreshing to hear at a time when everything is getting connected to the phone.

The product packs an 11kW belt-driven motor that can reach a top speed of 90kmph (approximately 55 miles per hour). While the company has not revealed the battery capacity, it has shared that a fully charged battery in CE 02 can provide a range of 90 kilometers. The whole package weighs 120 kilograms (approximately 265 pounds).

It appears that BMW is trying to position this product as a missing link between a scooter and a motorcycle, and is focusing on urban youngsters.

Although this is just a concept product from BMW, there’s a chance that it could actually go into production. If that happens, then there will be a few changes to its design as the company will need to add license plates, turn signals, reflectors, and fenders.
