The Realme Pad’s launch seems to be around the corner. Fresh information reveals that the device has been approved by Singapore’s IMDA certification platform. The listing has revealed the connectivity features of the tablet. At the same time, tipster Sudhanshu Ambhore has shared the details of the front and rear cameras of the Realme Pad.

The IMDA certification reveals that the Realme Pad (model number RMP2102) offers connectivity features like WCDMA, LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS. As far as cameras are concerned, it has been found that it has an 8-megapixel camera with a 1/3.6-inch sensor and an aperture rating of f/2.4 aperture. It offers a focal length of 2.8mm and carries support for Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS). In addition, it can capture images in 3264 x 2448 pixels resolution. The front and rear side of the Realme Pad has the same camera. However, while the rear snapper supports autofocus, the front camera offers fixed focus.

The tipster claims that these camera specs belong to the Realme Pad Wi-Fi-only variant. The IMDA certification suggests that there could be an LTE + Wi-Fi variant of the tablet.

The CAD renders of the device that appeared earlier this month revealed that it will be sporting a dual-tone design. The device measures 246.1 x 155.8 x 6.8mm and it houses a 10.4-inch display. It could be backed by a 7,100mAh battery.

There is no word on the processor of the Realme Pad. The tablet is expected to offer users 6 GB of RAM and 64 GB of built-in storage. The other details of the tablet are under wraps.

Realme had recently announced that it would be launching its first smartphone that would support magnetic charging. But prior to its launch, the company’s CEO shared new teasers of the upcoming MagDart magnetic chargers, which states that it is faster and thinner than the Apple MagSafe chargers.

The teasers were shared Madhav Sheth, CEO of the Chinese smartphone maker on Twitter. In one of the teaser image poster, the company states that the MagDart chargers will be up to 440 percent faster in charging rates. However, the brand does not specify its reference point. Furthermore, it also teases that its new magnetic chargers will also be thinner, being “Slim as Coin, Powerful As Thunder.”

Faster and Thinner!

Can you guess in comparison to which charging tech is #realme's MagDart charger 440% faster?

Notably, this is the first official confirmation from the brand regarding a thin variant of its MagDart lineup since we had first reported on the two upcoming MagDart chargers. Although, going by the 440 percent faster charging rates, we can assume that the larger and more beefier variant would be the one to offer fast charging speeds of around 66W. Realme would also be the first Android handset manufacturer to launch a commercial device with magnetic charger support. So this could be a huge milestone for the company as well.

Huawei 5G phones prices rise in used market after launch of 4G only P50 series

Jul 30, 2021

Huawei had just launched the P50 series earlier this week. But despite being a flagship grade lineup, the new smartphones only arrives in a 4G version. This, in turn, has led to the prices of the brand’s 5G smartphone models to rise in the second hand used market in China.

The price hike for used 5G Huawei smartphone models was observed by the Zhuanzhuan Group, which is a popular online market place that deals lets users buy and sell second hand used products in China. Generally, a smartphone’s value in the market usually always falls after its initial launch date. But now, the opposite seems to be occurring with the price of older 5G enabled smartphones from the Chinese tech giant rising.

The report from the used online market place stated that the prices of these 5G models are about 3 to 9 percent higher than in early June 2021. Notably, the Mate 40 Pro saw the highest increase in second hand market pricing. The price of a second hand Mate 40 Pro at the end of July 2021 is about 6,363 Yuan (roughly 985 USD), which is about 323 Yuan (roughly 50 USD) higher than back in June and marks about a 5.43 percent price hike overall.

Similarly, the Mate 30 Pro 5G also saw a price rise during this same period, with a hike of 293 Yuan (roughly 45 USD) or about a 7.71 percent rise in price over a month prior. As of right now, the price of this model is around 4,093 Yuan (roughly 633 USD) on the Chinese used product selling platform. Analysts added that there were a number of factors that led to this price rise of older phones, with one of them being the launch of the 4G only P50 series. These used flagship devices are now not only more cost effective despite being high end, but also support 5G networking that the latest launch doesn’t.

The iQOO 8 is poised to launch on Aug. 4 in China. Ahead of the launch, the alleged iQOO 8 got showcased at the ongoing ChinaJoy 2021 tech exhibition.

A mysterious iQOO phone enclosed in a protective case is up for display at ChinaJoy 2021. The front view of the phone reveals that it is equipped with a curved edge display with a centrally positioned punch-hole. This phone appears to be the forthcoming iQOO 8 flagship.

Rumors surrounding the iQOO 8 have claimed that it is equipped with a Samsung’s AMOLED E5 luminescent LTPO display. The screen is expected to support a resolution of 1400 x 3200 pixels and a 120Hz refresh rate. According to My Drivers, iQOO’s product manager has claimed that the iQOO 8 series’ display is not only the best in iQOO’s history but also the best mobile phone screen in 2021.

Unisoc to overtake Huawei HiSilicon as 3rd largest chip supplier in China in 2021: Report

Jul 30, 2021

A new report has suggested that Unisoc will see its shipments for smartphone application processors rise by a whopping 152 percent year on year, reaching 68.2 million units in 2021. This also implies that it would be able to overtake Huawei HiSilicon as the third largest smartphone AP supplier.

According to a DigiTimes report, these smartphone APs from the chipmaker were made for use by Chinese handset manufacturers. The report added that the company only shipped 27.1 million smartphone APs for these Chinese brands back in 2020. Furthermore, it has also managed to expand its client list, which now includes the likes of Honor, Realme, and Lenovo. In other words, this would likely lead to a notable boost in the shipments of its smartphone application processors this year.

At the moment, Unisoc is also one of the primary beneficiary of 4G smartphone AP supply constraints. This is due to most of the larger smartphone chipmakers like Qualcomm and MediaTek have shifted their focus to better cater to 5G smartphones. Thus, Unisoc has even benefited from a rise in shipments for 4G smartphones that are still quite common in the world’s second largest handset market, India, along with other Southeast Asian regions and more.

Notably, the company is also expected to see its share for the total smartphone APs shipped for China based smartphone makers to cross 10 percent in the second half of this year. This boost in shipments is also expected to carry forward till the first half of next year, due to the ongoing 4G smartphone AP supply constraints. For those unaware, the chipmaker primarily relies on TSMC to manufacture its 4G smartphone APs.

Recently, three new Vivo phones with model numbers V2130A, V2133A, and V2141A were spotted at the CMIIT certification site. Reports have revealed that the V2141A will be debuting as the iQOO 8 handset. Today, the V2130A and V2134A Vivo smartphones have received certification from the 3C authority of China. According to a Chinese tipster, these phones could be released in the Chinese market as the Vivo X70 series of smartphones.

The 3C listings of the Vivo V2130A and V2134A have revealed that they are 5G-ready devices. Both phones are expected to carry support for 44W fast charging. Probably, these phones could be arriving in the market as the Vivo X70 and Vivo X70 Pro. The tipster believes that the series may include a higher model that will carry support for 66W fast charging.

The same tipster had previously claimed that the Vivo X70 will be equipped with Vivo’s self-developed image signal processor (ISP). With Vivo’s imaging algorithm onboard, the X70 series is expected to offer a better photography experience.

Another leak had revealed that Vivo X70’s main camera will offer an aperture of f/1.5 and will carry support for 5-axis image stabilization. It is also expected to offer built-in gimbal stabilization like the predecessor series. The large aperture will allow the X70 series to capture brighter shots in dim-light conditions.

The Vivo X70 is expected to feature a 6.56-inch AMOLED screen that offers a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2376 pixels and a 120Hz refresh rate. It appears that the phone will be fitted with the same screen that was made available on the X60 series. The X70 lineup is expected to debut in September in China.

Apple’s Siri faces backlash in China for skipping Chinese Olympic gold tally

Jul 30, 2021

Siri, the voice-command-based virtual assistant from Apple that is available on almost all of Apple’s devices, faced the wrath of social media users in China this week after the platform was unable to read out China’s tally of gold-medal wins at the ongoing Tokyo Olympics.

Apple’s Siri says that the issue was because of a technical setting that only allowed Siri to read out the name of one country if two countries have the same amount of gold medals. The problem had been fixed and Siri was able to read out the correct tally for China.

Chinese social media users started uploading videos on Weibo showing the official Olympic gold medal tally of China. The video showed that Japan won 11 gold medals, followed by the US and China with 10 gold medals each, and Russia with seven gold medals, but Siri was unable to read out China’s number of wins.

People started speculating that the US-based tech giant may have deliberately snubbed China because of the ongoing tensions related to tech and trade. Apple has a strong presence in China but has suffered pushback because of the pressure piled by the United States on Chinese companies, especially Huawei Technologies, which is now barred from using US-origin technology. Currently, China is Apple’s third-largest market by revenue.

Jul 30, 2021

Microsoft had announced the Windows 11 operating system a few weeks ago and it was available to install as a Dev build. The Redmond-based tech giant has now released the first beta version of the Windows 11 OS.

The Windows 11 Beta is available for those who are enrolled in Windows Insider Program. As per the company, the beta release is less volatile compared to the Dev build and is being validated by Microsoft.

To test out this new version of Windows you will need to have a computer that meets the compatibility requirements laid out by Microsoft. Those who have installed the Dev version can switch to the Beta version by going to Settings > Windows Update > Windows Insider Program and then clicking on Choose your Insider Settings.

Do note that while Beta releases are more stable than the Dev releases, they are still not stable versions and are likely to have bugs, crashes, and missing features. So, we would suggest not installing Windows 11 on your primary device yet.

Windows 11 operating system features a new user interface, including a centered Start menu and Taskbar design, rounded corners, new sounds, and much more. The preview version available misses some interesting features like in-box app experience and Android app support but Microsoft adds that they will soon go into testing.
