Rumors have it that Xiaomi is preparing for its next flagship smartphone dubbed Xiaomi Mi 12. Earlier, we learned that the phone will board a flagship Snapdragon chipset and may come with superior cameras. Now, a new leak suggests that the device could launch with a faster LPDDR5X RAM.
Recently, the JEDEC announced the new LPDDR5X RAM with a maximum data rate of 8,533 Mbps. This is way higher than the 6,400 Mbps data rate in the predecessor. While the current Snapdragon chipsets only support the vanilla LPDDR4 or LPDDR5 RAMs, the upcoming Snapdragon chips are slated to even support X-series RAMs.
Taking it into consideration, Xiaomi is said to be the first phone maker to equip an X-series RAM with the implementation of LPDDR5X RAM in its upcoming phones. Reportedly, the upcoming Xiaomi Mi 12 will come powered by the LPDDR5X RAM paired with a flagship Snapdragon chipset.
Previous rumors suggest that the Mi 12 will come with a Snapdragon 895 SoC. But, now, it is said that the Mi 12 will be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 898 chipset. For those who are unaware, the Snapdragon 898 will be a successor to the current Snapdragon 888 and will be based on a 4nm process.
This means that the upcoming Xiaomi Mi 12 will feature faster RAM, more power, and better 5G connectivity. Additionally, the Mi 12 was recently touted to support a whopping 200W fast charging technology. The phone is also tipped to boast a 200MP primary camera alongside other lenses.
These specs seem quite enticing. But, this is just the initial stage of rumors about the smartphone. As we approach the launch later this year, we’re expecting to see some interesting features coming in the smartphone.

The DxOMark score reflects an overall great camera setup for the device. The night time photos showed that the P50 Pro will be highly sought-after. The videos from the camera of the Huawei P50 Pro also exhibited excellent exposure, dynamic range, and a stable autofocus performance.
Earlier this week, OPPO revealed a bunch of new developments in its Flash charging technology at the OPPO Flash Charge Open Day. As charging solutions are reaching insane levels of power output, the focus is slowly shifting from sheer speed to safety and wider use case scenarios. At the event, the company revealed its progress in developing charging solutions for smartphones as well as other products.
Here are the key takeaways from the OPPO Flash Charge Open Day event.
1. Five-Fold Safety Protection System
OPPO explains how it uses a five-fold protection system to ensure its charging technology remains safe even at high levels of charging output.
The brand says that its Flash Charging tech employs five different safety measures, which include:
A new Fuse with lower Impedance OPPO has incorporated a new fuse in its Flash Charging system which features lower impedance. The fuse will blow in case of abnormal electricity supply to the battery while bringing notable improvements in the efficiency and safety of the charging system as compared to its previous generation.
Efficient Gallium Nitride (GaN) Switches OPPO’s Flash Charging technology uses GaN switches (to manage the flow of electricity), replacing the usual MOSFET switches. This change brings in two major benefits,
in space as well as safety. One GaN switch can replace two series MOSFET switches, so it saves space. Further, thanks to GaN’s lower impedance and the ability to resist higher voltages, it improves the overall charging efficiency while being reliable and safe.
Internal series bi-cell design OPPO’s latest Flash Charging technology relies on a new internal series bi-cell design. Essentially, two battery cells are placed inside one battery casing, separated by special molecular material. These battery cells operate independently while allowing voltage to be doubled within a smaller space than the previous series bi-cell battery design.
Battery Safety Detection Chip The new Battery Safety Detection chip works with OPPO’s AI algorithm to detect significant problems within the battery. It can also remove potentially false warnings and can accurately warn users if the battery has some serious issues.
Composite Current Collector OPPO’s Flash Charging technology uses a new battery that replaces the traditional aluminum anode with a special composite current collector. This composite collector is extremely malleable and significantly reduces the chances of a short circuit in case of external damage.
According to OPPO’s internal tests, the new battery passes puncture and collision tests with a 100% success rate.
Flash charging is known for its fast charging output, but the latest version of this technology is smarter than before. This change brings a better balance between charging speed and battery life. The brand has finally managed to monitor battery conditions in real-time which allows it to adjust the charging power based on the requirement of the device.
Smarter Charging
For example, if you are charging your device overnight, the Flash Charging technology will switch to ‘relax mode’, wherein it will slowly charge the phone over the course of the night to extend the battery life. OPPO says that while ensuring 65W SuperVOOC, this technology can help retain 80% of the battery’s capacity even after 1500 charging cycles.
It can also work in the opposite use case scenario. Suppose you want to head out urgently, this Smart Charging system can speed up the charging output by up to 20%, reducing the time taken to charge a 4500mAh battery from 36 minutes to just 30 minutes.
Further, if you are charging the phone while using it, this same technology will ensure that the phone doesn’t overheat, optimizing the balance between charging temperature and charging speed in real-time.
3. Extreme Charging Technology for Safe Charging in Freezing Situations
Lithium-ion batteries don’t like extremely cold environments. But OPPO’s flash charging technology aims to enable fast charging even in such extreme conditions by allowing the battery to generate its own heat.
[Video Demo] OPPO Flash Charge Ultra-low Temperature Charging TestEven if the temperature is as low as -20°C, OPPO’s Flash Charging tech employs a smart algorithm to let the battery generate its own heat, increasing its temperature from below zero to over 10°C in just 10-20 seconds. Once the battery reaches this temperature, it can charge normally.
4. OPPO announces The Flash Initiative – Brings VOOC to new products
It’s been seven years since OPPO debuted its Flash Charging technology in the market. Now, the brand is looking to expand its super-fast charging technology to new categories. In this regard, it has launched a new project, The Flash Initiative wherein it will bring its VOOC charging technology to categories like automobiles, and public spaces, through patent licensing. This will allow other manufacturers to use OPPO’s Flash Charging technology in their own products in the future.

Earlier this year, the OnePlus 9 series had been launched as the company’s 2021 flagship lineup. While the company has been known to launch a T series model as well later in the year, a tipster had suggested that there might not be a OnePlus 9T this year. So, we might have to wait for the next gen 10 series that would launch in 2022.
But according to a LetsGoDigitalreport, graphic designer Jermaine Smit, aka ConceptCreator, didn’t wish to wait and released his own concept of the OnePlus 10 Pro. Smit also uploaded his concept render on his YouTube channel. As per his concept, the high end model will be equipped with a 6.7 inch AMOLED display with 3216x1440px resolution with 120Hz high refresh rate. Keep in mind, this is just a concept and is not the actual specs of the device.
Notably, the concept model even appears to sport an under display camera. Furthermore, we can observe a curved edge display from the sides where the alert slider can also be seen. As per Jermaine, the OnePlus 10 Pro concept arrives with a stylish faux leather finish as well. On the rear, a large circular camera module can be observed with two primary images sensors, with one likely being a wide angle main camera, while the other is the ultra wide angle lens.
Smit’s 10 Pro concept sports a 108 megapixel camera sensor paired with a powerful xenon flash. Interestingly, the ring module was also appears to be inspired by the Hasselblad 500c analog camera from 1957. ConceptCreator also imagines the new flagship with a Bionic Lens. While OnePlus is not known for being a class leader in smartphone photography, its three year contract with Hasselblad is an indicator of its increasing focus in camera performance.

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.
Realme Pad by OnLeaks/91mobiles
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.
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.
Earlier today (30th July 2021), Xiaomi launched a new product in India. The company has just announced the new Mi HyperSonic Power Bank, which is its ‘most powerful and feature rich powerbank’ in India.
The Chinese tech giant has just released a new powerbank that seeks to fulfill the modern needs of a consumer.

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.
P50 Pro
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.
Mate 40 Pro
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.

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.
It is speculated that the iQOO 8 series will be the first phone to arrive with the Snapdragon 888 Plus mobile platform. The device is expected to arrive with 12 GB of RAM and 4 GB of extended RAM. It will come preloaded with OriginOS UI 1.0 based Android 11 OS and a native storage of 256 GB. Speculations are rife that it may carry support for 120W fast charging.
In related news, iQOO’s parent brand Vivo is working on the Vivo X70 series. Earlier today, the alleged Vivo X70 and X70 Pro phones were spotted at the 3C certification platform with a 44W fast charger. It is speculated that the lineup also includes the Vivo X70 Pro+ that may tag along a 66W rapid charger.
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 DigiTimesreport, 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.
