Aug 30, 2021

Earlier this month, Google unveiled its flagship Pixel series smartphones — Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro, which will come with a revamped design and its own Tensor chipset. However, the company has not yet announced the launch date for these smartphones.

While the official launch date still remains unknown, a new report claims that Google could launch the Pixel 6 series smartphones on 13th September. That’s a day before Apple is expected to make the iPhone 13 series phones official.

The company has already confirmed that the upcoming Pixel 6 lineup will be made available for purchase this fall. Recently, Google discontinued its Pixel 5 and Pixel 4a 5G smartphones that were launched last year.

So far, Google has revealed some key details about the smartphones even though the full specifications sheet hasn’t been shared. The Pixel 6 comes with a 6.4-inch Full HD+ display offering a 90Hz refresh rate while the Pro model has a 6.7-inch QHD+ display offering a 120Hz refresh rate.

The standard model features a dual-camera setup on the back while the Pixel 6 Pro has a triple-camera setup — a wide-angle lens, an ultra-wide-angle lens, and a 4x telephoto lens. This time, the photography performance could top the charts given that the chipset is said to be focused on photo output and use artificial intelligence and machine learning.

The highlight of the Pixel 6 series remains its processor as they will come powered by Google’s own chipset — Tensor, which is made especially for Pixel devices. Apart from on-device AI and ML capability, the chip is also claimed to have significant improvement in translation, captioning, and dictation. The chipset is likely to be an unreleased Samsung Exynos 9855 SoC.

There are lots of smartphone launch events planned around mid-September. The Samsung Galaxy S21 FE is expected to get launched on 8th September and then Google is said to be set to launch the Pixel 6 lineup on 13th September. Just a day after that, Apple is likely to launch its iPhone 13 series smartphones. However, none of these launch events have been officially confirmed by the respective companies, but we expect an official announcement from the firms in the coming days.

Aug 30, 2021

Last year, Apple launched the iPhone 12 series smartphones a bit later than its usual timeline because of the COVID-19 pandemic. This year, the Cupertino-based technology giant is expected to stick to its schedule for the iPhone 13 series.

While the company has not yet announced the launch date for the next generation of the Apple iPhone series, rumors indicate that the devices could be launched in the third week of September. But a new report now claims that Apple is set to launch the iPhone 13 series smartphones on 14th September.

If that is indeed true, then the Tim Cook-led company could soon announce its launch event, probably in the next few days. Along with the next-generation iPhone, the company will also be launching the Apple Watch Series 7 models at the same event.

The report further adds that after getting announced on 14th September, the smartphone will be available for purchase from 24th September. This time, Apple will be selling four models at the same time — iPhone 13, 13 Mini, 13 Pro, and 13 Pro Max.

A recent report claimed that Apple is likely to increase the price of the upcoming iPhone 13 series models due to the price hike in components. Recently, TSMC confirmed that it will be increasing its pricing by up to 20 percent. However, the majority of the reports indicate that the pricing of the iPhone 13 models is likely to be the same as the iPhone 12 models.

Foxconn, one of the largest suppliers and contract manufacturers for Apple, has reportedly started fast-track recruitment for 200,000 members and is aiming to fill the vacancy by the end of September 2021. Notably, the large facility can house as many as 350,000 assembly line workers and produce up to 500,000 smartphones a day.

The Apple iPhone 13 lineup is expected to come with a slightly smaller notch and a 120Hz refresh rate in the Pro variants. It is also being reiterated that the company will also be offering a 1TB internal storage model this time.

It is also claimed to have support for mmWave 5G for countries outside of the United States. The phones are said to come with space-saving internal circuitry, which should allow the company to offer a larger battery inside the device.

The new iPhones will come with support for 25W fast charging technology, a slight upgrade from the current 22W charging. It is also expected to come with a LiDAR scanner. The upcoming flagship smartphone series from Apple will come with notable hardware upgrades. It points out to a faster and more power-efficient A15 Bionic chipset manufactured using TSMC’s 5nm+ process.

Apple iPhone 14 may not be powered by 3nm chipset due to TSMC’s production issues

Aug 30, 2021

Apple is gearing up to launch its next-generation iPhone 13 series smartphones next month but even before the official launch takes place, details related to the next year’s iPhone 14 series have been making rounds.

It is speculated that the Apple iPhone 14 lineup could come powered by the 3nm chipset manufactured by TSMC. However, the latest report indicates that may not be the case as the Taiwan-based manufacturer is facing delays.

Apple iPhone 12 Featured — Apple iPhone 12

The report claims that TSMC has confirmed that its 3nm process, known as N3, has been delayed for mass-production by about 3-4 months. This means that the iPhone 14 lineup will miss the chipset (possibly named Apple A16 Bionic) manufactured using the 3nm process and instead will pack a processor made using the N4 process.

Previously, it was reported that Apple has already placed orders for the 4nm chip with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company and is set to go into production in the fourth quarter of this year.

Not only that, the Cupertino-based tech giant has already booked the majority of TSMC’s capacity for the production of 3nm chips over chip giant Intel. The 3nm chips are likely to go into production in the second half of next year and were expected to be powering the next-generation iPhone 14 series phones.

Similarly, Samsung is also reportedly facing production issues related to the 3nm chip and thus, its flagship smartphones getting launched next year could also come packed with the 4nm chipset and same will be the fate of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 898 given that the company is reliant on TSMC and Samsung for manufacturing.

Apple is all set to launch the iPhone 13 series smartphones in the market, possibly in the third week of September but the company has not yet revealed the launch date. All four models in the lineup — iPhone 13, 13 Mini, 13 Pro, and 13 Pro Max are expected to come powered by the Apple A15 Bionic chipset manufactured using 5nm+ process by TSMC.

Earlier this month, Indian tech Youtuber Sahil Karoul claimed that Realme will be announcing the Realme Pad on Sept. 9. Realme fans speculated that the tablet could be coming with a Snapdragon 8-series or 7-series. However, it was revealed by Karoul on Saturday that the tablet will be driven by the MediaTek Helio G80 chipset. Now, the Realme tablet has been spotted at the Geekbench benchmarking site (via). The listing reveals that the tablet will indeed feature the Helio chip.

The upcoming Realme Pad has been spotted with RMP2102 model number at a couple of certification sites such as Singapore’s IMDA, Europe’s EEC, India’s BIS, and Thailand’s NBTC. Now, the same device has appeared at the Geekbench benchmarking site. The listing reveals that it is powered by MediaTek’s MT6769V/CU octa-core chip, which includes six CPU cores working at 1.80GHz and two CPU cores clocking at 2.0GHz. These clues are enough to confirm that the Realme Pad will feature the Helio G80.

The listing further states that it has 4 GB of RAM, and it is loaded with Android 11. The OS is likely to be overlaid with the Realme UI designed for tablets. It scored 326 in the single-core test and 1144 in the multi-core test.

Teardown reveals why the new Sony PlayStation 5 console weighs less

Aug 30, 2021

Sony recently unveiled a new PlayStation 5 model that is significantly lighter than its predecessor. There were speculations then that the change in weight could have been as a result of the changes made in the new console which does not have a disc input. Other reasons were also adduced including the possibility of a lighter heat dissipation mechanism.

A teardown of the new PS5, which is already on sale in the US, Japan, and Australia, has all but confirmed that the major reason for the massive change in the console’s net weight was due to a smaller and probably more efficient heat sink inside the console.

The sleek Sony PlayStation 5 console teardown video on YouTube by Austin Evans, shows a decoupling of the console to reveal a smaller heat sink that provides efficient cooling when the PS5 is in operation. The reason for the much smaller heat sink is still unclear, although Evans claimed that the particular PS5 unit used became very hot while in use, although he concedes that his claim was not definitive yet on the heat performance of the new PlayStation 5. The heat sink is a pivotal component of the PS5, as Sony uses it to offer substantial cooling to the device for optimal performance.

The digital version of the PlayStation 5, as earlier mentioned, has no disc input, as it relies only on digital games that come with the device or could be purchased from the PlayStation Store. It offers sufficient internal memory and other features that could appeal to some segment of the gaming populace. The non-digital PS5 models are still sporting heavier heat sinks and it is unclear whether Sony may tweak the heat dissipation mechanisms of these models as well.

DJI Mavic 3 leak gives us a look at the design, key specs in tow

A new leak has illuminated some grey areas in the yet-to-be-released DJI Mavic 3 (or possibly Mavic Pro 3) drone. There has been a buildup of expectations for the latest drone that may come from DJI on its design, looks, and features. Much was not known previously of the gadget, but thanks to a new leak, we can say a few more stuff about the machine.

The leak was credited to Brazilian sources and provided an illustration of the next-generation DJI Mavic 3 drone, with several other specs. The drone could feature a new collision avoidance system that is meant to enhance its overall maneuverability. It will also have more powerful adaptive cameras and zoom systems. The front and rear sensors have been positioned to enhance effectiveness, while the side sensors have all been removed. The machine has 1TB of memory, it is capable of being airborne for up to 40 minutes, and could come with up to 6000mAh battery.

The drone’s gimbal now has an integrated automatic look, although we are not certain whether the acrylic protector will be retained. Importantly too, a new smart controller will come with the drone to enhance its operations. It is believed that the gimbal will feature a new automatic locking mechanism that is activated when the drone is turned off, which is a clear departure from the current scenario requiring a manual adjustment.

The illustrations released also show a very sleek machine which could be significantly different from its predecessor the DJI Mavic 2, released back in 2018. There could be at least two versions of the new drone, possibly a base version (the DJI Mavic 3) and a higher version, the Mavic 3 Pro, possibly.

While no official remark has been received by DJI at this time, the tipster also projects that the DJI Mavic 3 series will be released in October. There were no indications of the possible pricing details of the drone yet.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 survives the durability test your phone most likely won’t go through IRL

By

Aug 29, 2021

The Galaxy Z Fold3 was announced earlier this month as the third-generation foldable phone from Samsung. The manufacturer has touted significant improvements in the build quality of the device such as a stronger aluminum frame, IPX8 water-resistance rating, Gorilla Glass Victus, and a display that it claims is 80% more durable than the last generation.

To find out if these claims are true, popular YouTuber, Zack Nelson, of the YouTube channel, JerryRigEverything, put the Galaxy Z Fold3 through his famous durability test.

The result of the over 11-minute long video is that Samsung’s new foldable is actually better in terms of its build quality.

The Galaxy Z Fold 3’s cover display and rear panel, which are protected by Gorilla Glass Victus, scratch at level 6 on the Mohs’ scale of hardness. However, the inner display that now houses an under-display camera, is still pretty soft as it scratches at a level 2. Your fingernails will even leave noticeable marks on the surface if you apply enough pressure. However, you don’t have to worry about the S Pen Fold Edition leaving permanent marks on the screen even if applying pressure when writing.

One of the upgrades Samsung touts is the new Armor aluminum frame. While the paint on the metal does come off when scratched with a knife, the strength of the frame is best tested when dropped which didn’t happen in the video although

The Galaxy Z Fold3 has an IPX8 rating which means while it will survive immersion in water, it isn’t dustproof. If you are wondering how this is possible, it is reported that what Samsung did is to give the phone’s internal sockets with an oleophobic coating that keeps water out rather than with the use of rubber seals. Zack does put the phone through a dust test and the Galaxy Z Fold3 does a good job in not getting dust into the hinges.

Where the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 impresses just like its predecessor, the Galaxy Z Fold2, is in the bend test. The device doesn’t bend or break when bent in the folded state. Its inner display also survives the bend test when in the unfolded state.

Samsung has sure made an impressive device and it is impressive to see there is a significant difference when compared to the first foldable it released in 2019.

Last year’s Honor X10 Max 5G was one of the largest smartphones Honor announced. The phone launched with a massive 7.09-inch display and a Dimensity 800 5G processor. A new report has revealed that a successor called the Honor X20 Max is coming soon and it will also have a large screen.

According to Weibo account @菊厂影业Fans, the Honor X20 Max is coming soon, and unconfirmed reports say that it will have a 7.2-inch display, a 6000mAh battery, and a Dimensity 1100 processor. All of these are upgrades (if you consider a bigger display as an upgrade too) when compared to the Honor X10 Max whose display is smaller and also packs a smaller 5000mAh battery.

Apart from having a bigger display, we want to believe the Honor X20 Max will pack a similar RGBW display as its predecessor. Unlike standard RGB panels, an RGBW panel is said to have a lower power consumption. We also hope Honor gives it a high refresh rate this time around.

Other areas we expect to see upgrades include the cameras, the speakers, and the fast charging technology. The Honor X10 Max launched with support for 22.5W fast charging. Since the successor will be coming with a bigger battery capacity, it is only fair that the charging speed gets a boost too.

The arrival of the Honor X20 Max will complete the Honor X20 trio which already includes the Honor X20 SE and the Honor X20.
