POCO X3 GT will not be launching in India, confirms POCO India Director

Jul 28, 2021

Google is expected to release Android 12 stable by September. Partner OEMs should announce the new version of their skin based on the latest Android at around the same time. Hence, it’s surprising to learn that One UI 4.0 beta based on Android 12 will be available for the Galaxy S21 series in August itself.

Samsung is the only major Android smartphone maker that does not take part in the official Android Beta initiative. Instead, the company runs its own program a month or two after the stable release of the latest Android version.

As per an official announcement (via PiunikaWeb) on the Samsung Members community forum, the South Korean tech giant will be soon rolling out the One UI 4.0 Beta based on Android 12 for the Galaxy S21, Galaxy S21+, and Galaxy S21 Ultra very soon. Unfortunately, the post does not mention the timeline for the release.

However, a tipster who goes by the name of Chun on Twitter knows when the Android beta builds for the Galaxy S21 series will be available. According to him, the One UI 4.0 beta for the latest-gen Galaxy S models will be released in August itself.

If this happens to be true, then Samsung will be kickstarting the beta program for its Android software before the stable release by Google for the first time. As a result, Android 12 (One UI 4.0) stable is said to arrive for the Galaxy 21 series as early as November, which will be a month ahead of last year.

Last but not least, Chun says that One UI 4.0 will adopt Android 12 Material UI. The OS will come with optimizations for Snapdragon 888/Exynos 2100 chipsets and a revamped Samsung Notes app as more devices are expected to support S Pen.

Samsung has launched the Odyssey Neo G9 gaming monitor in its home market of South Korea. The new monitor is the successor of the Odyssey G9. Both models share several similarities, but the Neo G9 looks like a big improvement over its predecessor. The Odyssey Neo G9 is Samsung’s first Mini-LED gaming monitor, and it offers a higher quality overall output than the G9. The Quantum Mini-LED (QLED+) display in the 49-inch Neo G9 is an improvement of the QLED display retained in the Odyssey G9.

The Quantum Mini-LED curved screen can offer up to 5K resolution, with an ultra-wide 32:9 Aspect Ratio. Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 uses a VA panel and 2048 local dimming zones for enhanced picture clarity. The new gaming monitor has the VDE (Germany) certification for peak brightness, and it supports HDR10 and HDR10+ video content.

The gaming monitor also supports a 240Hz refresh rate, auto low-latency mode, and Adaptive Sync. It has two HDMI 2.1 ports which offer higher-quality input than its predecessor. There are also two USB 3.0 ports and 1 DisplayPort 1.4. The monitor supports 4K 120Hz gaming, with several gaming-specific features also available. These include Black Equalizer, Super Arena Gaming UX, low input lag mode, Refresh Rate Optimizer, and Screen Size Optimizer. The Odyssey Neo G9 can automatically switch to gaming mode with low latency immediately after a game console is connected to it.

The new Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 gaming monitor has a 100×100 VESA mount, and the stand supports swivel and tilts adjustment to suit the gamer’s preferences.

The Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 gaming monitor will be available for pre-order from July 29. Sales begin globally on August 9. The Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 will sell at KRW 2,400,000 ($2,100) in Korea, while the US and other markets could get the gaming monitor for about $2,500.

Last month, an upcoming Nokia tablet was spotted at the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC). The tablet was spotted with model numbers such as TA-1397 and TA-1392. NokiaMob.net has come across UAE and UK retailer listings of an unannounced tablet called the Nokia T20. While it is unclear whether the aforementioned model numbers belong to the T20 tablet, the retailer lists have revealed its key specifications.

The retailer listings have revealed that the Nokia T20 tablet will be sporting a 10.36-inch screen. The device will come equipped with 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of built-in storage.

The listings also show that there are two variants of the T20. One of them appears to be a Wi-Fi-only variant, whereas the other one is a 4G model. The tablet is expected to arrive in blue color.

The Wi-Fi variant is listed with pricing of £185 ($257) with VAT and £154 (~$214) without VAT on the retailer site. On the other side, the 4G model is listed for £168 (~$233) with VAT and £185 (~$280).

Various smartphone brands are gearing up to launch tablets this year. Realme will be launching the Realme Pad tablet in the coming months. Other brands like OPPO, Vivo, and iQOO are also expected to launch their tablets this year. It now appears that HMD Global too will be launching a tablet in the near future.

HMD Global is expected to hold a launch event around October. The event is expected to see the arrival of the Nokia G50 and a new X-series phone. Probably, the company may use the same platform to announce the Nokia T20 tablet.

Barely a week after announcing the POCO F3 GT, the Xiaomi subsidiary is back with another phone – the POCO X3 GT. This too is a rebadge of an existing Redmi phone – the Redmi Note 10 Pro 5G sold in China.

Unlike some other rebadged Redmi phones, POCO has not modified the design of the POCO X3 GT. So this is the Redmi Note 10 Pro 5G with POCO branding at the bottom left corner instead of Redmi’s.

POCO X3 GT Specifications

The POCO X3 GT has a 6.6-inch LCD FHD+ DotDisplay with a 120Hz refresh rate and a 240Hz touch sampling rate. The display has DynamicSwitch which automatically changes the refresh rate based on the content being viewed. So you’ll get a 48Hz refresh rate when watching movies, a 50Hz refresh rate for TV shows, and 60/90/120Hz refresh rate for games.

Other features of the display are Gorilla Glass Victus for better protection against drops and scratches, a DCI-P3 color gamut, Reading Mode 3.0, and 360° ambient light sensors.

The POCO X3 GT has a Dimensity 1100 processor and is paired with 8GB of RAM. It will be available in 128GB and 256GB storage options.

For its cameras, the phone has a 64MP f/1.79 main camera, an 8MP ultrawide angle camera, and a 2MP macro camera. Users will be able to take photos in Night mode as well as long exposure photos. There is also a vlog mode, pro time-lapse mode, and photo clone feature. The phone can record in 4K at 30fps, in 1080p at 30fps and 60fps, and in slow motion at 120, 240, or 960fps.

The front-facing camera is a 16MP sensor and you get AI Beautify, Movie Frame, and Short Video modes.

The POCO X3 GT has a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, an IR Blaster, NFC with support for Google Pay, Bluetooth 5.2, and Wi-Fi 6. It also has stereo speakers, Dolby Atmos, Hi-Res Audio, and Hi-Res Wireless Audio. It also has Dual 5G support and LiquidCool Technology 2.0 which can reduce the temperature by up to 11°C when in a high-performance state.

POCO ships the phone with a 5000mAh battery and it supports 67W fast charging that allows you to charge the phone from empty to full in 42 minutes. Thankfully, you get a 67W fast charger in the box. The F3 GT runs MIUI 12.5 based on Android 11.

POCO X3 GT Price and Availability

The POCO X3 GT is priced at $299 for the 128GB version and $329 for the 256GB version. It is available in Stargaze Black, Wave Blue, and Cloud White and will be sold in Africa, Latin America, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia. Availability will vary from region to region.

The Realme MagDart will attach to the back of a compatible Android device and deliver 15W power. The MagDart also has a cooling fan to reduce overheating of the charger. The MagDart technology will likely debut with one of Realme’s flagship lineups and there are speculations that this could be the Realme Flash, which is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 888 chipset. The Realme Flash will come with a triple rear camera setup, 12GB of RAM, and 256GB of internal storage.

The August 3 event could also see some big announcements or the release of additional details about the MagDart technology and a possible timeline for its commercial deployment. We may also get more specs about the Realme Flash. However, it is not likely that pricing and availability details for these yet-to-be-released products will be given.

The launch event will be held online and streamed live on all Realme’s official social media platforms which include YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook.

Jul 28, 2021

Samsung unveiled the Galaxy A52 and the Galaxy A52 5G at the Samsung Galaxy Awesome Unpacked event in March. Fourth months later, leaks are saying that a third variant of the device called Galaxy A52s will be releasing soon. Today, a new report exposes the price of this model.

Samsung Galaxy A52 Awesome Violet Featured — Samsung Galaxy A52

According to a report by 91Mobiles, Samsung will be soon launching the Galaxy A52s in Europe. This piece of information comes from reliable leaker Ishan Agarwal.

As per the tipster, the handset will arrive with 128GB of internal storage. Most importantly, he says that it will retail for around €449 in Europe. Unfortunately, he is not sure exactly when it will be hitting the shelves.

As per previous reports, the upcoming Galaxy A52s with model number SM-A528 will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G SoC. For those unaware, the currently available Galaxy A52 and the Galaxy A52 5G feature a Snapdragon 720G and a Snapdragon 750G respectively.

Apart from the model number, chipset, and internal storage, we know that the phone will come with 8GB RAM and Android 11. We expect to learn more about this smartphone before its official announcement in the coming days.

We think the Samsung Galaxy A52s will be identical to the Galaxy A52 5G with some minor changes. Hence, it should come with features like a 120Hz Super AMOLED display, stereo speaker, IP67 dust and water resistance, stereo speakers, an OIS-equipped multi-camera setup, and 25W fast charging.

Windows 11 is already running on about 1% of PCs: Report

Jul 28, 2021

A new report has revealed that Microsoft’s latest version of Windows has already been installed in a number of PCs. As per the survey, the Windows 11 platform is currently running on about 1 percent of PCs.

The news arrives from AdDuplex, who shared the information is its latest Windows usage report that now also includes Windows 11. Furthermore, the data is based on information collected from about 5,000 applications that use AdDuplex SDK version 2 or higher. It was also collected on 26th July 2021, with the company noting that there were a total of 60,000 PCs that were surveyed.

At the moment, the latest Windows operating system version is being run on 0.9 percent of the PCs that were surveyed by AdDuplex. The report also added that there are still 0.2 percent of systems running the Insider version of Windows 10 OS, which could possibly be the 21H2 build. The figure is really small due to the very limited availability of the 21H2 build. The only way to be in on this version is to be kicked off of the Beta channel for not meeting Windows 11 system requirements. Meaning, you can’t even choose to get this version.

AdDuplex also noted regarding on how quickly newer versions of Windows was being installed. The last Windows usage report arrived back in April and had found that the Windows 10 version 2004 was still the most popular version of the operating system. Notably, the system requirements have also been raised significantly with Windows 11. Now, fewer PCs will be able to upgrade to the latest version.

Apple patents under display camera tech for Touch ID and Face ID

Jul 28, 2021

Apple has been rumored to be planning on launching the iPhone 14 with a full screen front body, with no notches. Now, the company has just been awarded a new patent for under display cameras for Touch ID and Face ID.

The Cupertino based giant had filed the patent with the USPTO, which was regarding camera sensors being embedded under the display. The patent also describes that these sensors will be used for biometric authetication systems, namely Touch ID and Face ID. Apple stated that the current iPhone design has the image sensors be placed next to the display with the notch. But, future generations will arrive with these cameras being housed underneath the display.

The iPhone maker added that this system can be used for both Face ID and Touch ID. Although, employing both security systems together might please more customers. Notably, we had recently also reported on the company reportedly planning on bringing Face ID to its Macs as well within the next couple of years. The earlier iterations of the under screen solution had faced a lot of issues like degraded quality, however, improved versions have made it to the commercial market in certain smartphones.

Keep in mind that this is still just a patent and we have no way of confirming if the brand is actually working on such a system or is simply covering all bases. If it is being developed, we can expect it to make its way to multiple Apple products like MacBooks and iPads, apart from just the iPhones.

Redmi, the sub-brand of Xiaomi, launched the Redmi AirDots 3 Pro alongside the Redmi Note 10 Pro 5G in China. This latest pair of truly wireless earphones just recently went official for the global markets as Redmi Buds 3 Pro. A few days from that, the product is now receiving a new firmware update, which brings a feature called ‘game low latency’.

Wireless earphones are not preferred by gamers as they tend to have latency issues. To solve this problem, companies have been offering low latency mode for some time now.

The Redmi AirDots 3 Pro are no different. They also support low latency mode. But the feature just got added via the latest firmware update.

As per the official announcement on Weibo, users can now utilize the newly added 69ms game low latency mode for a better gaming experience. It is worth noting that this firmware update is only applicable for the original Chinese model – Redmi AirDots 3 Pro.

We are not sure if the global Redmi Buds 3 Pro come with this feature out of the box or they will be getting it in a future firmware update. But it should be available soon if not at the moment as there is a mention of it in the spec sheet.

The Redmi AirDots 3 Pro are priced at ¥349 in China. On the other hand, the Redmi Buds 3 Pro retail for $60.

The Xiaomi Mi Pad 5 has just been spotted in a new leak. The tablet’s real life image has just surfaced online, with its design resembling the iPad Pro from Apple, while another report has revealed that the device will launch with MIUI 12.5 out of the box.

The real life image was shared by SlashLeaks who took it from a Weibo blogger, a Chinese microblogging website. This image is reportedly for the Mi Pad 5 and offers us a glimpse at its rear panel. The tablet appears to be quite thin, with its camera system being similar to the iPad Pro’s square module on the back. It even sports the official “Xiaomi” brand logo as well.

Assuming that the image is not simply of a back cover for the upcoming tablet, the Mi Pad 5 appears to be sleek and premium. Although, it does look quite similar to the iPad Pro from the Cupertino based giant. In other words, we can expect the Chinese tech giant to target the high end Android tablet market with this new tablet. Keep in mind that this is still an unconfirmed leak at the moment, so take it with a pinch of salt.

Notably, a known tipster on Weibo, @数码闲聊站, also stated that the Mi Pad 5 will launch with MIUI 12.5 out of the box instead of MIUI 13 custom skin. Furthermore, this is not limited to the tablet alone as the blogger believes that the Mi MIX 4 will also arrive with MIUI 12.5, which is unlike certain previous rumors. That is all the information we have to go as of right now so stay tuned for more updates.

Xiaomi is expected to unveil the Redmi 10 series in the coming weeks. Ahead of that, the company has started updating the Redmi 9 series to MIUI 12.5. The first model in the lineup to get the latest version of MIUI is the vanilla Redmi 9.

Just last month, Xiaomi rolled out the Android 11 update for the Redmi 9. In fact, this update is yet to reach all the regional variants of the handset. Despite that, the firm has already begun to seed MIUI 12.5 update in China.

The latest system update for the Redmi 9 in China arrives with build number V12.5.1.0.RJCCNXM. This software build is currently labeled as ‘Stable Beta’, which means it is being rolled out in batches.

The update should reach all the users in China in the upcoming days. Similarly, the other regional variants of this phone will be also getting the update shortly.

The POCO M2 sold in India is a rebadged Redmi 9. However, it is yet to receive the Android 11 update. Maybe, it will be getting both MIUI 12.5 as well as Android 11 together via a single OTA system update.

That being said, as per a reliable tipster, the Redmi 9 should be eligible for MIUI 13 update. But unfortunately, it is not sure whether it will be updated to Android 12.
