Vivo is reportedly working on a new Vivo Y-series phone called the Vivo Y21s. As the name suggests, it could be a tweaked version of the recently unveiled Vivo Y21 handset. It appears that the arrival of the Y21s may not be far away as it has received approval from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).

The Vivo Y21s moniker for the Vivo phone with V2110 model number when it appeared at the Global Certification Forum (GCF) earlier this month. The same device has now appeared at the FCC with a few specs (via).

The FCC listing reveals the V2110 phone measures 164.26 x 76.08 x 8mm and weighs around 180 grams. It offers a few connectivity features like dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS/GLONASS/BDS/Galileo. The support for the ‘BK-C2’ model charging cable and the ‘XE610’ model earphone suggests that it will come equipped with a USB-C port and a 3.5mm audio jack. The listing further reveals it is powered by a 4,910mAh rated (5,000mAh typical value) battery.

The Y21s was spotted at the Geekbench benchmarking site with a few specs such as the Helio G80 chipset, 4 GB of RAM, and Android 11 OS. The other specifications of the Y21s are under wraps. Its dimensions that were found through the FCC listing suggest that its design could be almost identical to the Y21. Hence, it is likely to house a 6.51-inch teardrop notch display. Now that the Vivo Y21s has bagged FCC certification, it may go official in the next few weeks. At present, it is unclear which markets will be receiving the device.

Vivo Y21 specifications

The Vivo Y21 features a 6.51-inch LCD HD+ screen, an 8-megapixel front camera, and a 13-megapixel + 2-megapixel dual-camera system. The Helio P35 powered handset is packed with specs like 4 GB of RAM, 64 GB / 128 GB of storage, and a 5,000mAh battery that supports 18W charging.

Recent reports have revealed that Vivo will be soon launching the Vivo X70 series of smartphones in China, India, and other markets. The V2104 and V2105 phones that have appeared at the Geekbench benchmarking site in the recent past are believed to be the global versions of the Vivo X70 and Vivo X7 Pro. The Pro model has appeared at the Google Play Console and in the Google Supported Devices list. As usual, the Play Console listing has revealed the key specifications of the smartphone.

The Vivo V2105’s image available at the Play Console reveals that it is equipped with a punch-hole display with curved edges. The screen supports a resolution of 1080 x 2376 pixels and a 440ppi pixel density. It appears that it features the same 6.56-inch AMOLED screen that was made available on the Vivo X60 Pro smartphone.

The Dimensity 1200 chipset (MT6893 model number) is present under the hood of the device. It is accompanied by 8 GB of RAM, and it is preinstalled with Android 11 OS. Rumors have it that the Vivo X70 series will break cover in September. The Play Console listing is a good hint that its launch may not be far away.

Probably, the X70 and X70 Pro will arrive with identical specs, and they may only differ in the camera department. The X70 duo may feature a Sony IMX766 50-megapixel primary camera. Rumors have it that the Vivo X70 series will feature Vivo’s self-developed “Yueying” ISP chip.

In related news, a couple of Vivo phones including the V2133A were spotted at the 3C certification platform of China in recent weeks. The IMEI database listing of the V2133A has revealed that this model is likely to debut in the Chinese market with the Vivo X70 Pro moniker. Its 3C listing had revealed that it may carry support for 44W fast charging. The Chinese and global variants of the X70 series are likely to feature identical specs, but the models heading to China could be powered by a different chipset.

The Xbox Wireless Controller is already available in multiple colorways and custom editions but that is not stopping Microsoft from announcing more. Today, it has unveiled a new special edition controller in honor of its new racing game, Forza Horizon 5.

Xbox Wireless Controller Forza Horizon 5 Limited Edition

The Xbox Wireless Controller Forza Horizon 5 Limited Edition is practically the most colorful controller Xbox has released. The controller has a translucent golden yellow top that allows you to see its internals. While the thumbsticks have a white stick and base, their tops are of different colors – blue for the left thumbstick and magenta for the right thumbstick. The D-pad has a pale chrome pink colorway.

The View and Menu buttons have the same shade of blue as the left thumbstick but the share button is white. The ABXY buttons are also magenta but their markings are blue.

The back of the Xbox Wireless Controller Forza Horizon 5 Limited Edition is white, and the product page says that it features racing-inspired custom grips. The bumpers are white too while the color of the triggers matches those of the thumbsticks.

Microsoft is charging $74.99 for the new limited edition controller when it becomes available for purchase on September 11.

Of course, these freebies are useless if you don’t have the game.

Design

While the OPPO Reno6 5G and the Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G come with traditional designs including a plastic body, the Realme GT Master Edition has unique aesthetics thanks to leather back designed by the known Japanese designer Naoto Fukasawa.

On the other hand, OPPO Reno6 has a thinner and lighter body, while the Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G is the only one to offer water and dust resistance with the IP67 certification.

 

Display

All of these phones are equipped with a Super AMOLED panel sporting a Full HD+ resolution. The Realme GT Master Edition and the Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G have a higher refresh rate with a max of 120 Hz, while OPPO Reno6 5G stops at 90 Hz. The Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G has a slightly wider panel with a diagonal of 6.5 inches (instead of 6.43 inches) and it comes with the Gorilla Glass 5 protection by Corning. All the phones come with an in-display fingerprint reader.

 

Specs & Software

These devices are powered by upper-midrange hardware departments. The Snapdragon 778G mobile platform found on the Realme GT Master Edition and the Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G is a bit more powerful than the Mediatek Dimensity 900 found on the OPPO Reno6. But the OPPO Reno6 is the only one to offer up to 12 GB of RAM, so consider it in case you need a long-lasting phone for your productivity. OPPO Reno6 5G and Realme GT Master Edition have similar user interfaces based on Android 11 (Realme UI is based on ColorOS), while Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G is totally different due to the One UI.

 

Camera

The Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G is the most advanced camera phone of this comparison. Its 64 MP main camera is the only one to support OIS. Further, the secondary ultrawide camera is better than OPPO Reno6 and Realme GT Master Edition with its 12 MP resolution. You also get a better 5 MP macro camera and an additional 5 MP depth sensor.

 

Battery

The Samsung Galaxy A52s should provide a longer battery life because it sports a bigger battery (4500 mAh vs 4300 mAh), but OPPO Reno6 and Realme GT Master Edition support faster charging (65W vs 25W).

 

Price

Overall, Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G is a more interesting phone, but its price tag is higher and it will be surely higher once it hits the global market. The Realme GT Master Edition has the best value for money since it is priced at less than €400/$470, while OPPO Reno6 5G will begin at €500/$587. Note that these are just the European prices: the listing prices vary depending on the market.

UK-based consumer tech company Nothing finally took the wraps off the Nothing ear (1) earbuds last month and the earbuds went on the first sale a couple of weeks back. The product was sold out in less than two minutes with just 4800 units made available.Nothing ear (1)

Nothing has now announced that the earbuds will go on sale again via Flipkart on August 31st at 12 noon. Just like the first sale, buyers will get access to free 6 months subscription to Gaana Plus music streaming services. In addition, holders of ICICI Bank Credit cards who make the purchase using their credit cards will get an instant discount of Rs. 500.

The Nothing ear (1) is priced at Rs. 5,999 (~$80) for the Indian market. This is a fairly decent price tag and a further Rs. 500 discount is sure attractive. Unfortunately, Nothing hasn’t disclosed the number of units that will be available for the next sale. We also expect the product to be sold out in minutes in the next round of sales. As a reminder, the Nothing ear (1) adopts a transparent design that exposes the internal components such as the microphones, magnets and circuit board. The earbud utilizes an 11.6 mm driver and brings support for Active Noise Cancellation as well as Bluetooth 5.2. In terms of durability, the ear (1) delivers up to 5.7 hours of music playback on a single charge and that is extended up to 34 hours if the charging case is factored in. The case features ultra-fast charging and supports Qi wireless charging protocol.

Huawei will launch an All-in-One PC, desktop printer, and Nova 9 series next month

By

Huawei has taken a more serious approach to its PC business since the trouble with its mobile phone business took a turn for the worse. Last year, it announced its first desktop computer, the MateStation B515. It has also released a couple of standalone monitors, with the latest ones being the MateView and MateView GT. Now, a new leak has revealed it will announce two new computer products next month.

According to serial leaker of Huawei-related news, Teme (@RODENT950), Huawei will launch an All-in-One PC and a printer next month. The tweet includes an image of the All-in-One and it looks just like the MateView monitor.

This is not the first time we have heard of a Huawei All-in-One PC. Back in December of 2020, it was reported that it had been granted a patent for the computer. Now it is ready to announce it after nine months.

Huawei will also announce a desktop printer along with the computer. While this will also be its first desktop computer, it isn’t its first printer. Back in 2018, Huawei announced a portable photo printer that uses ZINK inkless printing technology. With its first desktop printer, Huawei will be going against established brands such as HP, Canon, and Epson.

The leaker has also reaffirmed that the successor to the Nova 8 series is also on the way. An earlier report from last week said the Nova 9 series may launch in mid-September. The new Nova 9 series is coming 9 months after the Nova 8 5G and Nova 8 Pro 5G were announced, however, it may not have 5G like its predecessors.

Huawei has had to resort to launching phones with 4G processors as a result of the ban. Only a few devices with 5G have been announced and they usually arrive later than the 4G models.
