A raft of details has been released relating to the iQOO 8 series which will be launched on August 17. According to a recent teaser poster released by Vivo, all the models in the iQOO 8 series will come with support for a 120W ultra-fast flash charging, which is a first by the company. In addition, the flagship iQOO 8 Pro will have 50W wireless flash charging and 10W reverse charging, another first for the company.
A new render released today has also provided further illumination on the iQOO 8 Pro’s beautiful white and BMW-themed sports design. The render also showed the under-display rear camera setup. Some pricing information is also available for the iQOO 8 Pro, as its price has been put at 5,299 yuan (~$818), although several key details are still lacking for the device.
iQOO debuted 120W flash charging in 2020 for its flagship iQOO 5 Pro, while this was absent in the lower models of the series. Therefore, the decision to extend 120W flash charging to all the models in the 2021 8 Series lineup is impressive. Further charging functionality is given to the 8 Pro, with 50W wireless charging and 10W reverse wireless charging. The reverse wireless charging functionality makes it possible to use the iQOO 8 Pro to charge some devices under certain conditions.
The iQOO 8 Pro will come with a Snapdragon 888+ processor and a 2K resolution screen. It is still unclear at this time whether there is a global rollout for the device to other countries. Some of the fine details will become known as we inch closer to the August 17 launch date for the iQOO 8 series.
Following the launch of the Galaxy S21 Ultra, the first Galaxy S phone to have S Pen support, earlier this year, Samsung revealed its plans to bring the S Pen to more Galaxy devices. It delivered on that promise this week when it launched the Galaxy Z Fold3 with S Pen support, and just like the S21 Ultra, this too has support for two types of S Pens.
S Pen Fold Edition (L) and S Pen Pro (R)
There is the S Pen Fold Edition and the S Pen Pro which was revealed earlier this year but just launched this week. If you are wondering how the two styluses differ, then you are at the right place.
S Pen Fold Edition
The S Pen Fold Edition is designed to work only with the Galaxy Z Fold3. This is because of its nib that has been specially designed to work with the foldable display of the phone.
The stylus has a slim 1.5mm pen tip and a built-in spring that takes the impact when you press it against the display. It has 4096 pressure levels and also has support for Air Command. The S Pen Fold Edition doesn’t have Bluetooth, so there is no need to pair it with the Galaxy Z Fold3 5G. This also means that you can’t use it as a remote for the phone. It also doesn’t have a battery, thus doesn’t need to be charged.
The S Pen Fold Edition weighs 6.7 grams and measures 132.1 mm in length and 7.7mm in diameter.

S Pen Pro
The S Pen Pro works with most Samsung devices (phones, tablets, and computers) that have support for the S Pen including the new Galaxy Z Fold3. It is not only longer and thicker at 173.64 millimeters and 9.5 millimeters respectively but also weighs more than double the S Pen Fold Edition at 13.8 grams.
It has Bluetooth for connecting to not just one device but multiple devices with support for seamless switching between devices. Owners will even be able to copy, cut, and paste across devices (phone to tablet to PC) provided they are logged in to the same Samsung account, on the same Wi-Fi network, and have Bluetooth and Continue turned on.

Another key feature it has is that if you misplace the S Pen Pro, you will be able to find it by checking its location using the SmartThings app.
Last but not least is the price tag. The S Pen Pro is priced at $99.99, double the $49.99 price of the S Pen Fold Edition.
The rumors about an Apple car in the making have been on for some time, although there had not been any definitive statement or even a tipster’s leak that indicates that the famed Apple car is ready to move out of the drawing board. Apple has however continued to expand its fleet of self-driving electric vehicles under testing in California. The news emanating from South Korea is that Apple has had some discussions with its business partners and possible producers of EV components in Korea.
The news was highlighted in the Korea Times and specifically mentioned that Apple had talks outside the iPhone engagements it has had in recent times with some of its partners in Korea. Some of the companies mentioned in the talks were LG Electronics, SK Innovation, and Hanwa. Note that SK Innovation is the EV-battery-making arm of the SK Group.
Samsung has also had talks previously with several automakers, and it is believed that further talks took place with Hyundai/Kia, Nissan, and a few other automakers. No public statement is however available to ascertain whether indeed talks were held, as none of the companies mentioned have put out any statement debunking or affirming the claim.
It would be really interesting to see Apple come up with its own car. Little is also known about the purpose of the electric vehicle development by Apple. We cannot say whether the car is for commercial production or something else. If indeed Apple is pursuing the development of electric vehicles, there are no timelines or milestones available for the project. We do not know whether we are close to the eventual launch of the Apple car.
This is the year of flagship tablets. Due to the pandemic, a lot of people chose to buy a new tablet in order to survive the lockdown while still having entertainment, study or work with the maximum comfort. That is why several companies released flagship tablets in the Android market. Even Xiaomi came back to the tablet market: the Chinese giant released the Mi Pad 5 and the Mi Pad 5 Pro with flagship-class specifications. Right after, Honor released the Tab V7 Pro, another flagship tablet with specifications for power users.

Design
Xiaomi Mi Pad 5 Pro and Honor Tab V7 Pro brought a great design to the market. They come with an plastic body and a very high screen to body ratio thanks to narrow bezels around the display. You can use them as laptops thanks to the support of a keyboard and advanced multi-tasking features such as split-screen, multi-window, and more. They both support a stylus, as well as a nano-SIM which brings 5G support. Note that there is also a variant of the Xiaomi Mi Pad 5 with WiFi only.
Display
The most advanced display belongs to the Xiaomi Mi Pad 5 Pro. The tablet is equipped with an IPS panel showing up to one billion colors. It has a Quad HD+ resolution of 1600 x 2560 pixels, a refresh rate of 120 Hz, the HDR10 certification, and Dolby Vision. The Honor Tab V7 Pro has a Quad HD+ resolution as well, a 120 Hz refresh rate, and a great contrast, but it comes with 16M colors only. Note that Xiaomi Mi Pad 5 Pro has a slightly wider display with a diagonal of 11.5 inches.
Specs & Software
The Honor Tab V7 Pro is the first tablet powered by the MediaTek Kompanio 1300T mobile platform, paired with up to 8 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of native storage. Xiaomi Mi Pad 5 Pro has the same memory configuration in the most advanced variant, but it is powered by a stronger Snapdragon 870 chipset. The Xiaomi Mi Pad 5 Pro is able to provide higher performance if you consider that Kompanio 1300T is less powerful than Dimensity 1200 and Dimensity 1200 is inferior to the Snapdragon 870 as well. The tablets run Android 11 out of the box, customized by MIUI and Magic UI, respectively.
Camera
The most advanced variant of the Xiaomi Mi Pad 5 Pro sports a dual camera setup with a 50 MP main sensor and an ultrawide 5 MP camera. But if you choose lower-end variants of the tablet, you get a 13 + 5 MP dual camera. There is a big difference between these versions because the 50 MP camera is way better than a 13 MP one. In each configuration, Honor Tab V7 Pro has a dual camera including a 13 MP main sensor and a 2 MP macro camera.
The Xiaomi Mi Pad 5 Pro is equipped with a battery coming with a capacity of 8600 mAh and it supports 67W fast charging: the fastest charging technology in the Android market. With the Honor Tab V7 Pro, you get a 7250 mAh battery with 22.5W fast charging. The Xiaomi Mi Pad 5 Pro should provide a longer battery life due to its bigger battery.
Price
The Honor Tab V7 Pro comes in three configurations: the base variant with 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage costs €342/$401 in China, the 8/128 GB version costs $432, and the 8/256 GB version costs $571. Xiaomi Mi Pad 5 Pro has a starting price tag of €330/$387. Which tablet is the best at the end of the day? In my honest opinion, the Xiaomi Mi Pad 5 Pro is superior. It has a great display showing up to one billion colors, a faster charging technology, a better chipset, and even a much better camera if you choose the most expensive configuration. The Honor Tab V7 Pro is still an amazing choice, especially because it has a very high value for money.
Xiaomi Mi Pad 5 Pro vs Honor Tab V7 Pro: PRO and CONS
The Chromecast with Google TV streaming dongle was announced last year. The device is sold in multiple countries, but if you live in India, you can’t get your hands on one as Google didn’t launch it there. And it appears it has no plans to do so. However, a new leak has revealed that India will be getting a special Chromecast With Google TV.
The info was revealed by the YouTuber Ustav Techie on Twitter earlier today. According to him, Google is bringing three new products to India. First, he mentions the Google Nest is coming this year but doesn’t specify which Nest product. However, we found out that the Google India store already lists the new Nest Cam (Battery) as coming soon. So this might be the product he is referring to.
As of now 3 Google Products are coming to India @madebygoogle
1) Google Nest finally coming to India this year
2) Pixel Buds (Yes)
3) Special Chromecast stick with Google TV ( Made For India)
Next on the list is the Pixel Buds. Google already discontinued the Pixel Buds, so this is most likely the $99 Pixel Buds A announced in June.
Last is the special Chromecast with Google TV made for India. There are no details about this device and what makes it different from the model released last year. However, there seems to be some truth to the statement considering that a new Google streaming device was recently approved by the FCC.
The leaker also mentioned that Google is still undecided about the Pixel 6 coming to India but mentions in the replies that the Pixel 5a will not be launched in the country.
We expect more details about the launch and features of these new devices will surface in the weeks leading up to their launch, so keep your eyes peeled.
Honor has a new smartwatch but you can’t get your hands on it now because it is sort of not official yet. The new smartwatch is called the Honor Watch GS 3 (there wasn’t a GS 2) and Honor only briefly talked about its new heart rate sensor at its launch event today.
The highlight of the Honor Watch GS 3 is its 8-channel PPG sensor which also uses an AI algorithm and AI Engine to accurately measure heart rate. As shown in the image below, the heart rate module includes an 8-channel PPG module, a heart rate AI Engine, a frequency tracking algorithm, and an AI heart rate algorithm. Honor says they all work together to capture your heart rate data faster and more accurately.
1 of 2
There is no comparison, so we can’t say how well this compares to other heart rate sensors. We hope more details will be revealed in the near future.

Honor Watch GS 3 Voyager
Honor Watch GS3 Streamer Classic
Honor Watch GS3 Racing Edition
The Honor Watch GS 3 itself has a round dial attached to a metal case. It has two physical buttons and uses quick-release straps. It will be available in three variants – there is Voyager which has a silver case and blue leather straps, Streamer Classic with a golden case and brown leather straps, and Racing Edition with a gray case and black rubber straps.
We do not know when the watch will be properly launched but we still expect it to arrive this year.
Xiaomi never misses any chance to impress its fans and users due to the affordability and value-for-money factor. Similarly, Xiaomi FlipBuds Pro offers some exceptional features while being priced competitively. The ongoing $30 discount on Zeaplus is making the deal more attractive. While buying use the coupon code – FBUDS30 on the checkout page to get the discount.
The Xiaomi FlipBuds Pro is officially retailing only in China, but with the ZeaPlus global shipping, you can get it anywhere throughout the world. It is currently in stock, and the offer is limited till the stock lasts. So you can hurry up to get the FlipBuds Pro at a discounted price.
Xiaomi FlipBuds Pro is the company’s first take on actual Active Noise Cancellation technology. The Earbuds features an 11mm audio driver coupled with an audio chip by Qualcomm. Efficient connectivity is made possible with the Bluetooth 5.2 QCC5151 chip enabling support for aptX Adaptive Dynamic Codex Protocol.
To enhance the noise cancellation, Xiaomi added three microphones to reduce the noise, and enhance the audio by balancing the external noise by listening to it and further isolating it. The TWS earbuds low-latency feature comes in handy while playing games on Xiaomi smartphones. Xiaomi FlipBuds Pro offers 7 hours on a single charge and 28 hours along with the case battery. Additionally, you can get 2 hours of playtime with 5 minutes of charging.
Interested buyers can redeem the offer before it gets out of stock on Zeaplus.
We were able to confirm the existence of the Honor Tab V7 via the specification sheet of the Magic-Pencil 2 stylus. The spec sheet contains the devices compatible with the stylus, and apart from the Tab V7 Pro, it also includes last year’s Honor V6 and the yet-to-be-announced Honor Tab V7.
We do not know when the Honor Tab V7 will be announced neither do we know what specifications it will have, save for it having support for a stylus. Nevertheless, we are sure it will be cheaper than the pro model. So if the Honor Tab V7 Pro is above your budget, then you may want to wait for the Honor Tab V7.
The pro model starts at ¥2599 (~$401) and that gets you a Kompanio 1300T-powered device with an 11-inch 2K LCD screen with a 120Hz refresh rate. You also get 13MP + 2MP dual rear cameras, quad speakers with DTS:X Ultra, a 7250mAh battery, and support for 22.5W fast charging. Honor will ship the tablet with Magic UI 5.0 based on Android 11.
This week Samsung officially launched the Galaxy A12 Nacho smartphone in Russia with specs like Exynos 850 and quad cameras. Today, Samsung India has officially brought the same device to the Indian market with the moniker – Samsung Galaxy A12.
Samsung Galaxy A12 Specifications
The new Samsung Galaxy A12 succeeds the older Galaxy A12 and the major difference comes in the specifications.

HONOR has officially launched the HONOR Magic3 series as scheduled. These new devices are the company’s first flagship smartphone lineup after being sold off by HUAWEI. The series includes a total of three models, namely HONOR Magic3, HONOR Magic3 Pro, and HONOR Magic3 Pro+ (aka HONOR Magic 3 Zhen Edition). Let’s take a look at what these HUAWEI Mate40 series lookalike phones have to offer.

HONOR Magic3, Magic3 Pro, Magic3 Pro+ Specifications and Features

Their design is similar to that of the HUAWEI Mate40 series with a circular camera ring. In fact, the HONOR Magic3 Pro+ reminds us off PORSCHE DESIGN HUAWEI Mate40 RS.
The vanilla model is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 SoC paired with 8GB RAM and 128GB/256GB storage. Whereas, the two Pro models feature a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888+ chipset and it is coupled with 8GB/12GB RAM and 128GB/256GB/512GB storage.

Honor announced a new flagship tablet today. Called the Honor Tab V7 Pro, it is the first device to be powered by the MediaTek Kompanio 1300T chipset. Alongside the tablet, Honor also announced two accessories for the tablet – the Honor Magic Floating Keyboard Case and the Magic-Pencil 2 stylus. Here are their features and price tags:
Honor Magic Floating Keyboard Case
The Honor Magic Floating Keyboard Case might as well be the best of keyboard cases from a Chinese manufacturer, at least compared to that of Xiaomi’s Mi Pad 5 series and that of the Lenovo Xiaoxin Pad Pro 2021 but it is also the most expensive of the three.
The keyboard case has a floating design like that of the iPad Pro’s Magic Keyboard. When attached, the tablet can be adjusted between 90º and 120°. Unlike the Mi Pad 5’s keyboard case, there is a trackpad and it supports gestures. Users will be able to switch between open apps and windows, enter multi-tasking mode, and return to the desktop all with a three-finger gesture.
1 of 2
Another interesting feature of the keyboard case is a garage for the Magic-Pencil 2. This garage not only stores the stylus but also charges it. Other features of the keyboard case include a 1.3mm key travel and a dedicated microphone button for voice-to-text dictation in multiple languages including English.
The Honor Magic Floating Keyboard Case is priced at ¥799 (~$123) which is significantly higher than the ¥499 (~$77) Lenovo charges for its own keyboard case and the ¥399 (~$62) price tag of the Mi Pad 5’s own keyboard case.
Honor Magic-Pencil 2
The Honor Magic-Pencil 2 is the companion stylus for the Honor Tab V7 Pro tablet. It has a cylindrical design with a replaceable nib and comes in black. It costs ¥499 (~$77), making it more expensive than the ¥299 (~$47) Xiaoxin Active Capacitive Pen and the ¥349 (~$54) Mi Pad Stylus.
The stylus has 4096-levels of pressure sensitivity, 8ms latency, and a battery life that goes up to 15 hours. Users will be able to charge it by placing it on top of the Honor V7 Pro or inside the garage of the keyboard case. A full charge takes 1 hour. Honor also says that the Magic-Pencil 2 can be connected to up to four Honor V7 Pro tablets at the same time.
The Honor Magic-Pencil 2 is also compatible with the Honor V6 tablet.

The Galaxy Z Fold3 was announced yesterday as one of two new foldable phones from Samsung. The new device is not only cheaper than its predecessor but also packs new and upgraded features one of which is support for two physical SIMs.
Yes, unlike its predecessors that have a slot for only one SIM card, the Galaxy Z Fold3 has a tray for two physical SIM cards in addition to an eSIM. Technically, you should be able to connect to three networks but we doubt that will be possible.
The addition of an extra SIM slot is definitely good news for users especially frequent travelers and business professionals. You will be able to keep your primary SIM in the device and pop in another one from the country you are in.
The Galaxy Z Fold3 packs a 7.6-inch Dynamic AMOLED QXGA+ main display with a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate. The cover display is a 6.2-inch Dynamic AMOLED HD+ display with a 120HZ adaptive refresh rate too.
There is a Snapdragon 888 processor under the hood along with 12GB of RAM and 256GB or 512GB of non-expandable storage. There is a 10MP camera inside the punch hole of the cover display while the main display has a 4MP under-display camera. On the back of the Galaxy Z Fold3 are three 12MP sensors – an ultrawide angle camera, a wide-angle (primary camera), and a telephoto camera with 2x optical zoom and 10x digital zoom.
The foldable phone packs a 4400mAh battery with support for 25W fast wired charging, 10W wireless charging, and 4.5W reverse wireless charging. Other features include a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, an IPX8 rating, stereo speakers, NFC, Bluetooth 5.2, and Wi-Fi 6E.

Wireless charging has come across new challenges ever since Apple released its MagSafe technology back in 2020. After one year, we finally see a similar solution on the Android platform.
Recently, Realme launched its own Magnetic wireless charging technology, the Realme MagDart. After our limited experience of the implementation, we have to say Realme is trying to take charging on Android phones in a new direction
Before we take a closer look at the Realme MagDart charger, let’s check the Apple MagSafe first. To be honest, it seems that the MagSafe didn’t successfully change most users’ habits in replacing the standard solution for wireless charging. However, it did fix one of the issues of traditional wireless charging, which is to correctly line up the phone to achieve the best charging efficiency. But honestly, apart from this, there isn’t any significant improvements in Magsafe over traditional wireless charging, especially if you consider the charging speeds.
But it looks like Realme has updated this technology on the Android Platform.
Along with the launch of the new technology, Realme also released a series of products supporting the MagDart Charging. And we have managed to be one of the first ones to get our hands on these exciting products.
So let’s see what the new MagDart Charging technology offers.
In this MagDart charging kit, there’s the first concept Android phone in the world to support Magnetic wireless charging — the Realme Flash. It features a 4500mAh battery supporting up to 50W MagDart wireless charging efficiency. Once you remove the top panel, you will see all the MagDart accessories settled at the bottom of the box, including a MagDart power bank, a full 50W MagDart charging dock and another 15W MagDart compact charger, similar to the Apple MagSafe charger. In addition to the new accessories, a Realme’s 50W cookie-like mini charger and another 65W fast charger are also included in the box.
Let’s first start with the phone, the Realme Flash. It’s still a big challenge for the industry to achieve fast wireless charging with safe thermal performance. Apple’s MagSafe no doubt was an important exploration in this field, but due to issues such as charging efficiency and heating, feedback on all the related products has not been as good as expected. We’ve heard enough users complain about their iPhones that keep losing power while playing games with Apple’s Magsafe charging.
But for Realme’s MagDart, things were much better in our charging tests.
Realme MagDart 50W Magnetic Charger
On the Realme Flash, Realme claims that the MagDart charging fixed the lining-up issues by using a boron-cobalt alloy powerful magnet, while maintaining high charging speed by applying high power.
But all of this couldn’t be done without a reliable thermal design, which is probably the reason why it could achieve charging efficiency close to a wired charging solution in our charging test.
Although a magnetic structure is added inside, the 50W MagDart charger is still one of the smallest wireless chargers that I’ve ever seen, supporting over 40W charging efficiency. It’s equipped with an active cooling fan to quickly dissipate heat and keep the inside temperature at a safe level even at high power output. The phone did maintain a consistent charging speed with the charger for almost the entire charging test duration. Eventually, the full-charge test was done in around 60mins. And more importantly, the devices’ temperature didn’t exceed 41℃ during the entire test duration.
Realme MagDart 15W Magnetic Charger
If you are still not satisfied with the bigger size of the 50W charger, Realme offers a 15W super-slim MagDart charger as another option. Realme smartly located the control chips at the other end of the cable to reduce weight and thickness of the round charging panel. Another benefit of the design is to reduce the heat generated during charging and sustain high power for a longer duration. In our gaming & charging tests, we didn’t experience any power-drop issues like the Apple’s MagSafe. Another good detail is that all the MagDart devices use a larger coil to reduce the impedance. It also means less heat is generated during charging. As a result, better heat-transfer efficiency is achieved with less power loss.
Realme MagDart Power Bank
The MagDart power bank is my favorite accessory of the charging kit.
Like the Apple’s MagSafe battery pack, the realme battery pack can stick firmly on the back of the Realme Flash without a cable. Although we have no confirmed information about its charging efficiency, in our actual charging test, the charging speed of the power bank was not bad. The Realme Flash charged up to 20% in around 30mins with the Power bank. All you need to do is simply attach the power bank to the phone. We also tried it on other models that support wireless charging. And it worked well without any issues.
And I have to commend its design. The compact white body covered with skin-like surface has excellent build quality. Unsurprisingly, it has become one of the necessary items for me for on-the-go charging. So I really suggest you guys pay attention to this power bank even if you are not a Realme user.
According to our limited experience, the Realme’s MagDart solution may be the best solution for wireless charging right now. And it’s not difficult to foresee that as a pioneer in the field of wireless charging, Realme is determined to develop a complete solution with multiple product lines meeting the needs of various scenarios. This makes us wonder what more can we expect from this young brand when all these new charging products are made available in the market.
So that’s all about the MagDart charging technology. What are your thoughts on this technology?
