Microsoft unveiled the Surface Duo last year and it still runs on the older Android 10 OS with Microsoft launcher on top of it. Now, the company is expected to launch Microsoft Surface Duo 2 this year with an upgraded specs sheet and an improved UI. New leaks suggest that the company will bring major improvements to the Microsoft launcher and also sheds light on the phone’s specs.
According to WindowsLatest, Microsoft is planning to optimize the Microsoft launcher especially for the upcoming Surface Duo 2. Additionally, Microsoft’s Program manager Vishnu Nath revealed on Twitter that new updates to the launcher are coming. He also inexplicitly agreed to the ongoing October launch rumors of the next Duo.
Speaking of the Microsoft launcher, it is expected to bring some new features and some of those could be inspired by Android 11 OS. As said earlier, the current Microsoft Surface Duo runs on Android 10 OS, but it will also get the upgraded Microsoft launcher(Android 11) later after the launch.
Apart from this, the Microsoft Surface Duo is expected to come with major camera upgrades. It will come with triple rear cameras featuring a main lens, a telephoto sensor, and an ultra-wide lens. As per recent leaks, it will have the same folding design as the original Duo but will be upgraded in performance.
Rumors are rife that it will come powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 SoC and will have NFC and 5G support.
Apple launched its new Mac Mini last year, powered by the company’s own Apple Mi1 chipset. There are reports about the Cupertino-based tech giant working on the successor of the M1 chipset, dubbed Apple M1X.
Reports claim that Apple is also working on a new version of Mac Mini, which will come powered by the upcoming M1X chipset. The latest development indicates that the product could get launched in the coming months.
The new report coming from Mark Gurman through his Power On newsletter contradicts a recent report which hinted that the M1X-powered Mac Mini may have been delayed by Apple to launch next year because of “marketing reasons.” Although it didn’t provide a timeline about the release date.
Do note that the M1X chipset has not been announced yet by Apple but from what’s known so far, the chipset is said to be a more advanced version of the M1. Apart from Mac Mini, it will be powering other Mac devices, including the upcoming MacBook Pro models.
Apple is expected to redesign Mac Mini and add more ports, including a magnetic power port. The product is said to be focusing on the power users and will feature a “plexiglass” top. A recent report also indicated that the Mac Mini with 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD could have a starting price of $1,299.
Given the updated specs and targeted audience, the pricing of the M1X Mac Mini will be higher compared to the current M1-powered Mac Mini. So, the current model will stick around even if a newer model gets launched, giving an affordable option to regular users.

In the second half of 2021, a lot of unexpected flagships hitten the market. Among them, there is the first Qualcomm phone: manufactured by Asus, the Smartphone for Snapdragon Insiders is born to let Qualcomm’s fans try all the new technologies for Snapdragon processors in advance. Recently, Asus also came up with the ROG Phone 5s, an upgrade of the ROG Phone 5. And if you are searching for another of the most powerful phones out there, you can also opt for the newly-announced iQOO 8 Pro. If you want to know which is the most complete flagship killer for gamers and power users, you are in the right place: this is a comparison between the specifications of these three beasts.
Asus ROG Phone 5s vs Vivo iQOO 8 Pro vs Asus Smartphone for Snapdragon Insiders
The most elegant and modern design belongs to the iQOO 8 Pro, especially in the BMW M Motorsport color option with a leather back. It has a curved edge to edge display, a very high screen to body ratio, and a very original look. It is even the thinnest phone of the trio. Given that it is a phone meant mainly for gamers, the Asus ROG Phone 5s has a gaming-centric design with an RGB logo which includes the Air Triggers to enhance the gaming experience. The Smartphone for Snapdragon Insiders does not have a very elaborate design, but just like the ROG Phone 5s, it comes with the Gorilla Glass Victus protection which is the best one by Corning.
Display
The most advanced display belongs to the iQOO 8 Pro. It has a higher Quad HD+ resolution with 1440 x 3200 pixels, and it also comes with the LTPO technology enabling an adaptive refresh rate that goes from 1 to 120 Hz. You do not get these features with the Asus ROG Phone 5s and the Smartphone for Snapdragon Insiders, but both these phones come with a higher 144 Hz refresh rate which is more interesting for gamers. The Asus ROG Phone 5s also sets a new touch sampling rate record with a max of 360 Hz.
Hardware/Software
The Asus ROG Phone 5s and the iQOO 8 Pro come with a more powerful processor: the Snapdragon 888+ mobile platform by Qualcomm which is actually an upgraded Snapdragon 888. The Smartphone for Snapdragon Insiders comes with the inferior Snapdragon 888, but it is the only one to offer 16 GB of RAM (instead of just 12 GB). Note that the Smartphone for Snapdragon Insiders runs stock Android, while the other two rivals come with customized UIs.
Camera
All of these devices are great camera phones, but on paper, the iQOO 8 Pro looks like a slightly better device due to its superior 48 MP ultrawide camera. However, the Smartphone for Snapdragon Insiders is great with its 3x optical zoom and an advanced main camera with OIS.
Battery
The Asus ROG Phone 5s is the handset providing the longest battery life thanks to a capacity of 6000 mAh. iQOO 8 Pro is an average battery phone with 4500 mAh, but it has faster 120W charging.
Asus ROG Phone 5s vs Vivo iQOO 8 Pro vs Asus Smartphone for Snapdragon Insiders: Price
We still do not know the price of the Asus ROG Phone 5s, iQOO 8 Pro starts from €660/$775 in China, and the Snapdragon Phone costs more than €1200/$1200. If we exclude the amazing battery life and gaming-centric features of the Asus ROG Phone 5s, the winner of the comparison is the iQOO 8 Pro as it is a more complete flagship. But if you are a gamer, the Asus ROG Phone 5s is a better choice.
Kingston, the American company best known for its wide range of storage products such as MicroSD cards, SSDs, and flash drives has announced in China a new line of MicroSD cards designed to work under extreme conditions. The new memory cards are under the Industrial line, and as you will see below, the name is quite fitting.
The Kingston Industrial line of memory cards is available in four storage options – 8GB, 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB. They have a write speed of 100MB/s, up to 1920 TBW and 30,000 P/E cycles, are built with long-lasting Pseudo SLC (pSLC) flash memory and can work at a temperature range between -40ºC and 85ºC.

Bad block management
Powerful ECC engine
Power failure protection
Wear leveling

Dynamic data refreshing
SiP-System-in-package
Garbage collection
Operation monitoring
These types of memory cards are designed for industrial equipment that has a MicroSD card slot. So while they will work well for your everyday electronics such as phones, tablets, or computers, they are best suited for devices that are used under extreme conditions where the use of a regular memory card may result in loss of data.
Kingston is yet to reveal the prices of the new MicroSD cards in China.
Gaming enthusiasts in India have enjoyed an array of games, consoles, and accessories that puts the gaming population in India at par with some of the leading markets. A new Microsoft Xbox stereo headset has been announced to the Indian audio market.
The Microsoft Xbox stereo headset with Dolby Atmos is well primed to give crisp, clear, and solid audio output. It is ergonomically designed to be friendly to the head and ears. The actual date of release of the Microsoft Xbox Stereo Headset to the Indian market is not known at this time. Although we do not know of its date of unveiling, the price of the cloth has been stated: Rs. 5,990 ($81).
The newly unveiled Microsoft Xbox stereo headset bears a close semblance with the recently-released Xbox wireless headset which came on board this year. Designed with the ultimate comfort of the user guaranteed, the new Microsoft Xbox stereo headset features a lot of elements that transform the listening experience into something top-notch. It has a lightweight design, an adjustable headband, as well as revamped and uses very comfortable large ear cups. It also features controls for regulating the volume.

It should be a boon for gaming enthusiasts in the subcontinent.
The global chip shortage bedeviling the electronic industry at present isn’t expected to go away until 2023 but smartphone companies seem to have found a way around, or so we thought. Turns out the chip shortage is critically affecting the industry as Xiaomi Indonesia has come out to announce the discontinuation of the Redmi Note 10 smartphone’s production.
According to a report carried by the local arm of CNBC International, the company is encouraging fans to buy other models in the Redmi Note 10 lineup instead. The Redmi Note 10’s production is reportedly affected by chip shortage and there is hardly any doubt that the discontinuation will spread to other markets soon.
Already, Xiaomi has repeatedly increased the price of the Redmi Note 10 in India. The company has also increased the pricing of the Pro variant twice by ₹500 each time since the launch of the series smartphones in the Indian market. These increments are attributed to a shortage of components. Also, the 6GB+64GB variants of the Redmi Note 10 Pro and Redmi Note 10 Pro Max were discontinued entirely in India.
Buyers are encouraged by Xiaomi Indonesia to buy the Redmi Note 10 Pro, Redmi Note 10S, and the Redmi Note 10 5G instead. However, there is no guarantee those models won’t sell out soon as well.
Earlier this month, Xiaomi launched its latest Mix smartphone, Mi Mix 4. But did you know that Xiaomi’s latest smartphones come with an upgraded Xiaoai Translation offering a live AI subtitles feature?

It is likely that the Xiaomi Mi Care service, which was launched in China in November 2020, will soon be rolled out to Europe and other international markets. A new trademark filing by the company in Costa Rica might indicate that Xiaomi is planning to establish these repair centers in Europe and the Americas.
Chinese smartphone brand Xiaomi has seen its fortunes blossom with a substantial market share both in China and overseas. It has continued to expand since 2018 when the popular Mi range of affordable and tech-friendly smartphones debuted in Europe, partly due to the competitive price/quality ratio that Xiaomi manages to deliver always.
The Xiaomi Mi Care is a comprehensive online after-sales service, with a warranty available. For a small additional amount, users can Insure their device including coverage for two screen replacements per year. You also get an extra year of warranty (3 years instead of 2 years) and a discount coupon to swap the device for another model after one year.
Xiaomi has seen a meteoric rise in its fortunes globally possibly as a result of its unique business model which has seen it establish the Mi Care and experience center for after-sales services across China, with plans afoot to scale up the operation and expand to Europe. The care and Warranty service is a hub for providing solutions to a wide array of issues relating to repairs, customer support, and all other aspects of the Mi service architecture. This after-sales service increases the chance that customers will make subsequent purchases.
The European incursion of the Mi Care and Warranty service will bring the company closer to its bubbling European customers, yielding the opportunity of a greater share of the market. Xiaomi comes well-kitted for the service center as it has garnered several awards for excellent service delivery across its centers in China, as well as the Mi Store in parts of Asia, including India.
The Redmi Note 10 family is about to get a new member. The series which launched this year already has eight models in total, some of which are exclusive to select markets. Now, a new model is coming to India and it will launch as the Redmi Note 10 Lite.
Evidence of the device’s existence was found by Kacper Skrzypek (@kacskrz), and from one of the two images he shared, the phone has the model number 2109106A1I. The more interesting info is the second image which reveals that the Redmi Note 10 Lite has the codename “curtana”. Doesn’t ring a bell?
For those who don’t know, “curtana” is the codename of the Redmi Note 9 Pro (India) which is also the device sold in other markets as the Redmi Note 9S. What this means is that the Redmi Note 10 Lite is a rebadged Redmi Note 9 Pro (India)/Redmi Note 9S! Yes, Redmi is relaunching last year’s phone under a new name.
There are speculations that the Redmi Note 10 Lite may be slightly different from the Redmi Note 9 Pro (India)/Redmi Note 9S. It remains to be seen what this difference is and if it will result in a higher price tag.

Sony is known to release updated versions of its consoles. These updated versions are usually smaller and lighter than the original, thanks to improvements in the design. For example, both the PS3 and PlayStation 4 (PS4) got slim models that are thinner than the original. Now, Sony has announced a new version of the PlayStation 5 (PS5) that has a very slight design change and is also lighter than the original.
PlayStation 5 and accessories
The new PS5 has made its way to Australia according to the Australian gaming site, Press Start (via The Verge). The new console which has the model number CFI-1102A (the original has the model number CFI-1000) is reported to be 300 grams lighter than the original that went on sale last year.

There is no info on what changes resulted in the reduction in weight. However, one design change that is visible is the new screw for the base stand. Unlike the one that ships with the original model that needs a screwdriver to tighten it, the revised model has a plastic cap with a grip that can be tightened with your hand. This is a minor change and we believe the new screw should even work with the CFI-1000 model.
The new PS5 is already available in stores in Australia according to the source. We expect more details about what makes it different from the original will surface soon.

OnePlus Buds Pro pricing has been announced in India.
Last month, OnePlus launched its third TWS, the Buds Pro, alongside the Nord 2. The Buds Pro is the first smart adaptive noise cancellation (ANC) earbuds from the company.
Today, OnePlus announced the pricing for the Buds Pro in India. The OnePlus Buds Pro is priced at Rs. 9,990. It brings a bunch of features, including adaptive noise cancellation, superior call quality, Warp Charge.
The buds offer an in-ear design with a short stem. These earbuds come in a new look featuring both glossy and matte textures. OnePlus says that the new design gives earbuds a sleek and ergonomic look with a secure, comfortable wearing experience.
The OnePlus Buds Pro features two 11mm, dynamic drivers, with improved bass performance and Dolby Atmos support. The new earbuds come with a smart ANC noise cancellation system with three different levels. The ANC is said to cancel out undesired sound frequencies in real-time with up to 45db noise cancellation in Extreme Mode and 25db in the ambient mode. The Buds Pro comes with Bluetooth 5.2 support, with a latency as low as 4ms. You can control the playback or change the mode using the touch controls provided on the stem.
The Buds Pro promises to deliver a battery life of up to 38 hours on a full charge and 10 hours of continuous playback on a 10-min charge. The case comes with Qi certification, allowing users to charge the buds wirelessly. The buds come with IP64 certification, while the charging case offers IPX4 ensuring resistance against sweat and dust. The Buds Pro comes with Zen mode, allowing users to choose a list of white noise during different activities such as yoga, meditation, or sleeping.

Recently, an OPPO trademark for MagVOOC was spotted online. The device is believed to be OPPO’s magnetic flash charging technology similar to the recently launched Realme MagDart and Apple’s Magsafe. OPPO has now officially unveiled the MagVOOC magnetic flash charging technology at the China International Smart Industry Expo 2021.
OPPO unveiled not one but three concept products: MagVOOC magnetic wireless power bank, MagVOOC ultra-thin portable magnetic charger, and MagVOOC vertical magnetic charger Wireless charging base.
The MagVOOC ultra-thin portable magnetic charger adopts an innovative split design whereby the transmitter coil and the main board are separate. This design not only makes the transmitter base lighter and thinner but also prevents the heat generated by the main board from being transferred to the phone. Thus, the heat won’t have any effect on the charging rate. This design is different from Realme’s MagDart magnetic wireless charging technology that requires a fan to dissipate heat.
OPPO describes the MagVOOC magnetic wireless power bank as equivalent to the “external battery” of a mobile phone. The magnetic power bank is compatible with the Qi standard and equally features support for 20W wireless charging and 10W wired charging for mobile phones. The power bank is touted to be capable of charging a 4500mAh battery in just 2 hours.
In terms of the appearance, MagVOOC magnetic wireless power bank is small and portable, which can further meet the charging needs of users in travel and indoor scenarios. The magnet assists the alignment of the power bank with the mobile phone thus removing that challenge.
OPPO didn’t reveal the availability details of the products but popular tipster Digital Chat Station has disclosed that there are no mass-production plans for the MagVOOC magnetic flash charging products for now.
