Samsung unveiled the Galaxy A12 in late November 2020. The smartphone started hitting the shelves across most regions in early 2021. Now, months later, the company is being reported to release a new version of this device.
Samsung Galaxy A12
According to a report by DealNTech, Samsung could soon release a new variant of the Galaxy A12 with model number SM-A127F. A support page for this handset is already live on one of the regional official websites of Samsung. This device has been also certified by Bluetooth SIG.
As per the source of the publication, the new Galaxy A12 will be powered by an Exynos 850 SoC instead of a MediaTek Helio P35 chipset, which is found inside the original model. In fact, this will be the only difference between the old and new variants.
Hence, the upcoming Galaxy A12 (SM-A127F) is expected to come with a 6.5-inch HD+ LCD screen with a dewdrop notch, 48MP (wide) + 8MP (ultra-wide) + 2MP (macro) + 2MP (depth) quad-camera setup, 8MP selfie camera, 5,000mAh battery, and 15W fast charging.
It should also feature a 3.5mm headphone jack, a MicroSD card slot, a USB Type-C port, and a side-mounted fingerprint sensor. Unfortunately, it’s not known whether it will debut with Android 10-based One UI Core 2.x or the latest One UI Core 3.x (Android 11), which was made available via OTA system update for the original model recently.
Samsung is yet to officially announce the launch date of this smartphone. Since it differs only in terms of the chip, it will most likely get a silent release.
The Vivo S10 series will be made official tomorrow in China. The lineup has two phones namely, the S10 and S10 Pro. Speculations are rife that both models have identical specs, and they mainly differ in the camera department. The S10 Pro’s full specifications have been revealed today through its TENAA listing.
Vivo S10 Pro specifications
The TENAA listing of the Vivo S10 Pro (V2121A model number) reveals that it measures 158.2 x 73.6mm and its thickness is only 7.29mm. The device weighs only 173 grams despite housing a 3,970mAh rated battery. Previous reports have revealed that it supports 44W fast charging.
The Vivo S10 Pro has a 6.44-inch S-AMOLED FHD+ display with a wider notch. The TENAA listing confirms that the display notch houses a 44-megapixel primary selfie camera and an 8-megapixel secondary lens. The screen is integrated with a fingerprint scanner.

The Vivo S10 has not yet appeared at TENAA. It is speculated that it will come with a 64-megapixel triple camera setup and an inferior dual selfie camera system.
Last year, ZTE had launched the Axon 20 5G smartphone as the world’s first mobile phone to feature an under-display camera. Now, the Chinese company is gearing up to launch a successor of the same, dubbed ZTE Axon 30.
Today, ZTE officially released a teaser video for the upcoming ZTE Axon 30 smartphone, showing the phone’s front panel for the first time. Compared to its predecessor, the smartphone comes with several improvements.
The teaser video reveals that the smartphone will come with an improved screen-to-body ratio compared to its predecessor. The bezels around the screen are quite narrow and only the bottom bezel is a bit thicker. It will be offering a true full-screen experience to users.
It has already been confirmed that the phone will feature ZTE’s second-generation under-display camera technology which was demonstrated a few months ago at Mobile World Congress Shanghai. This new technology is touted to have significant upgrades and improvements over the first generation.
The company previously said that its team of engineers has gone through difficult research to effectively eliminate glare and diffraction from the material. It can effectively eliminate the adverse effects of foggy surfaces, ensure that the picture is bright and transparent, and intelligently adjust the exposure.
While nothing has been confirmed by ZTE, it is believed that the phone will come powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset but there’s a possibility that the company may opt for a different processor. It could run Android 11 with ZTE’s new MyOS interface on top.
The ZTE Axon 30 was teased back in January this year as the successor to the Axon 20 5G, however, the phone’s launch was delayed due to the global chip shortage and some other related issues. But with the new teaser shared by the company, it seems that the device is now ready to make its debut.
Last week, a Realme phone with RMX3361 was spotted at the TENAA certification site with few details like display size, battery capacity, and dimensions.

The Realme RMX3361 has a 6.43-inch AMOLED display that offers a Full HD+ resolution. It is powered by a 2,100mAh (rated capacity) dual-cell battery. Its total capacity could be 4,200mAh (rated value). The device is fueled by a 2.4GHz octa-core and is expected to arrive in China in RAM variants like 6 GB, 8 GB, and 12 GB.
The RMX3361 may arrive in storage options like 128 GB and 256 GB. The device will boot to Android 11 OS and will lack support for external storage. It has a selfie camera of 32-megapixel, and its back panel is fitted with a 64-megapixel + 8-megapixel + 2-megapixel triple camera unit.
The other features of the Realme RMX3361 include an in-screen fingerprint scanner and support for fast charging. The handset has 159.2 x 73.5 x 8mm dimensions and weighs 174 grams. It will arrive in white, blue, and gray color variants.
Last week, 91mobiles published a report to reveal the pricing, specifications, and renders of the GT Master Edition series phone. The specs of the phone are an exact match with the RM3361.

Like Realme did for its predecessor Master Edition phones, it will be teaming with Japanese designer Naoto Fukasawa for designing the next GT Master series.
Realme GT Master Edition specifications
Last month, the TENAA telecom authority of China approved a Realme smartphone with an RMX3366 model number. The listing revealed that it has a 6.55-inch AMOLED display that has curved edges and a punch-hole design. It offers a Full HD+ resolution, a 20:9 aspect ratio, and an in-screen fingerprint reader.

Realme GT Master Edition’s variant
At the beginning of this month, 91mobiles teamed up with reliable tipster OnLeaks to share the full specs and renders of the Realme GT Master Edition. Since its specs are different from the above-mentioned RMX3366 phone, it appears that it will be arriving as a variant of the GT Master Edition. Probably, it could be arriving with the rumored GT Master Explorer Edition moniker.

The leak revealed that it has a 6.43-inch AMOLED FHD+ display that offers a 120Hz refresh rate, an in-screen fingerprint sensor, Snapdragon 778G, up to 12 GB of RAM, up to 256 GB of storage, and a 4,300mAh battery that offers 65W fast charging.

The antitrust regulator in France has fined the tech giant Google around $593 million and has given the company two months to come up with proposals on how to pay publishers for their content or face more punishment.
In a statement, the regulator said that Google had disregarded several injunctions related to the tech company’s negotiations with French news publishers. Isabelle de Silva, Chief of Antitrust Agency, said: “When the regulator imposes obligations for a company, it must comply scrupulously, in both the spirit and letter. In this instance, this was unfortunately not the case.”
France’s Competition Authority said that Google had breached an April 2020 ruling that ordered the company to negotiate “in good faith” licensing deals with publishers and news agencies for any reuse of copyrighted content.
The tech giant has been fined €500 million ($593 million) over its failure to comply. If the search giant does not present compensation offers to publishers within the next two months, it faces additional penalties of up to €900,000 ($1.1 million) per day.
It is the largest-ever fine imposed by France’s competition watchdog for a company’s failure to adhere to one of its rulings. It’s the latest development in an ongoing copyright battle between tech giants like Google and Facebook and news publishers.
Google said that it was “very disappointed” by Tuesday’s decision. The spokesperson for the company added: “We have acted in good faith throughout the entire process. The fine ignores our efforts to reach an agreement and the reality of how news works on our platforms. To date, Google is the only company to have announced agreements on neighboring rights. We are also about to finalize an agreement with AFP that includes a global licensing agreement, as well as the remuneration of their neighboring rights for their press publications.”
Earlier this year, in January, Google agreed to a major digital copyright deal with French publishers. As part of that deal, it would negotiate individual licenses with members of France’s press alliance for rights and access to a new service called News Showcase.
However, France’s competition agency took issue with this, saying it did not include a discussion on remuneration for current uses of content covered by “neighboring rights” for the press. It also added that Google restricted the scope of talks with the media by refusing to include the use of press images.
The European Union had overhauled its copyright laws in 2019, making platforms responsible for copyright infringements committed by their users. The new rules also require search engines and social media platforms to share revenue with publishers if their content is displayed.
Nokia, on Twitter, shared an image of a new phone with a thick case that said, “With our newest Nokia phone you will never need a case again 27.07.21”, clearly hinting at a launch of a rugged smartphone. The rugged phone will be launched on July 27 and a Twitter user has revealed its moniker.
Jack Lo of Blogjack suggests that this rugged phone will be called the Nokia XR20, and it will come with a fresh design. He claims that the rear camera of the XR20 (Nokia rugged phone) won’t be Oreo-like in design. Rather, it will have a different rear camera island, and it will be powered by Zeiss optics. For those who are unaware, the current Nokia X20 has an Oreo-like rear camera island.
As of now, there’s no other information regarding the upcoming Nokia rugged phone, but we can expect a new batch of leaks about the phone in the future. Till then, Nokia fans can check out the recent leak of the Nokia C30 smartphone.
The Nokia C30 is expected to be an entry-level phone with a 6.82-inch FHD+ screen. It is said to house a massive 6,000mAh battery and will come powered by a Hexa-core chipset.
Now that Huawei‘s dominance in the global market has diminished significantly, Honor is eyeing to take its place internationally. Ever since it broke up with Huawei, Honor has been trying to make it big outside China.
Today, Honor confirmed its Global conference is scheduled for August 12. Considering the aggressive leaks of the Honor Magic 3, we can expect the phone to debut at the August event in the global market.
Now that a global press conference is scheduled, a major question that arrives is will the upcoming Honor phones come with Google Play Store and play services pre-installed? Well, Honor recently confirmed that the Honor 50 and the upcoming Honor Magic phones (Honor Magic 3) will come with Google Play store out of the box.
The Honor Magic 3 is confirmed to feature the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 888+ chipset. The Snapdragon 888+ is a more advanced version of the current 888 model with improvements in performance.
Some previous rumors also revealed that there will be two Honor Magic phones, the Magic 3 and a foldable Magic model. Currently, the details of the Honor Magic Fold are unavailable but considering the launch is official, we could also see the leaks about the phone soon.
Last month, Honor — the smartphone brand that became independent from Huawei earlier this year — launched its flagship Honor 50 series smartphones. It announced three devices under the lineup — Honor 50, 50 Pro, and 50 SE.
The smartphones went on sale in China a couple of weeks ago and the company and during the first sale of the series, the company claimed that it managed to sell units worth more than 500 million yuan (approx. $77 million) within a minute.
Now, the company has confirmed on Weibo that the 12GB RAM model of the Honor 50 will be available for purchase in China from 16th July. It will be priced at 3,399 yuan which roughly converts to $525. For reference, 8GB +128GB model costs 2,699 yuan (~$417) while the 8GB + 256GB model is priced at 2,999 yuan (~$463).
Coming to the specifications, the Honor 50 features a 6.57-inch OLED curved screen that supports a 120Hz screen refresh rate and 300Hz touch sampling rate. Under the hood, the device is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G mobile platform, which uses 6nm process technology and a Kryo 670 architecture.
The CPU is made up of a single 2.4GHz super core, three 2.2GHz large cores, and four 1.9GHz small cores. For graphics, the 5G-enabled processor integrates the Adreno 642L GPU. It also comes with Honor’s GPU Turbo X and Link Turbo technologies.
In the camera department, the phone features a 100-megapixel primary sensor, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens, a 2-megapixel macro lens, and a 2-megapixel depth sensor. On the front side, there’s a 32-megapixel snapper for taking selfies.
The smartphone is running the Android 11 operating system out-of-the-box with the company’s own Magic UI 4.2 custom interface. The device is powered by a 4,300mAh battery that supports 66W fast charging technology.
Samsung has several smartphones in the pipeline that are planned to go official later this year and one of them is the budget offering under the M-series, dubbed Galaxy M22. The phone has already been certified by Thailand’s NBTC with model number SM-M225FV.
Now, ahead of the official launch of the smartphone, renders showcasing its design as well as details about the specifications have been leaked online. Continuing the similarity with the A-series counterpart, the upcoming Galaxy M22 is quite similar to Galaxy A22 as far as the phone’s design is concerned.
The device features a waterdrop notch on top of the screen which the company likes to call Infinity-V display. On the backside, there’s a square-shaped camera module that houses four camera sensors and an LED flash.
As for the specifications, the phone is said to feature a 6.5-inch HD+ (1600 x 720 pixels) Super AMOLED display with 90Hz refresh rate support. Underneath, it will be powered by the MediaTek Helio G80 chipset, coupled with 4GB RAM and 128GB internal storage.
It remains to be seen if the South Korean giant offers other memory variants for this smartphone. There’s also a microSD card slot on the device, allowing users to expand the storage capacity up to 1TB.
In the camera department, the phone is likely to have a 48-megapixel primary sensor, coupled with an 8-megapixel secondary ultrawide lens, a 2-megapixel macro lens, and a 2-megapixel depth sensor. On the front side, there will be a 13-megapixel snapper for taking selfies and video calling.
The smartphone is likely to run the Android 11 operating system out-of-the-box with the company’s own One UI custom interface on top. It will be powered by a 5,000mAh battery and have 25W fast charging support.
The Samsung Galaxy M22 will come in three color options — Black, Blue, and White. The phone will reportedly be priced at EUR 239.90 for the 4GB+128GB variant. To know for sure, we will have to wait for the official launch.
Samsung took off covers from the Galaxy A22 4G at the beginning of this month. The handset was introduced with a price tag of Rs 18,499 (~$247). Soon after its announcement, the rumor mill started speculating that the A22 5G will be also arriving in India soon. A fresh report by 91mobiles that cites information receive from tipster Yogesh reveals that the Galaxy A22 5G will possibly debut in India in August.

Since the Galaxy A22 4G is priced at Rs 18,499 (~$247), it is likely that the A22 5G may cost around Rs 20,000 (~$268) in India.
Samsung is reportedly working on the Galaxy M32 5G smartphone. The reason behind it is that a new Samsung phone with SM-M326B model number has appeared in the database of the Geekbench benchmarking site (via). It is likely that the company may unleash it as early as next month.
The model number of the Galaxy M32 4G handset that debuted earlier this year is SM-M325F. Hence, it is likely that the SM-M326B phone that has appeared on Geekbench today is likely to launch as the Galaxy M32 5G.
The Geekbench listing shows that the Galaxy M32 5G is powered by the Dimensity 720. The SoC is mentioned with its MT6853V/NZA model number in the listing.

Realme GT Neo Flash just went on sale: just in case you missed it, it is a variant of the GT Neo with a faster charging technology. It is a flagship, but not the most expensive one. That is why we think it is a perfect rival for the OPPO Reno6 Pro. Even the Reno6 Pro is not the most advanced phone in its lineup, but it has a great quality-price ratio. Which of these devices has the highest value for money? If you want to discover it, go ahead with this comparison between their specifications.

Design
The OPPO Reno6 Pro 5G has a sleeker and more beautiful design. It has a thinner body with a thickness of just 7.6 mm and it is even lighter as it weighs just 177 grams. Further, the handset has a curved edge-to-edge display making it very elegant, as well as a minimalistic glass back. However, Realme GT Neo Flash is all but an ugly phone. It comes with a very suggestive leather back in the original Racing Yellow color option. Further, it has a pretty compact body even though it packs a good battery.
Display
If you need the most stunning image quality, then you should opt for the OPPO Reno6 Pro 5G which offers an AMOLED display including a 90 Hz refresh rate, the HDR10+ certification, and high brightness. Instead, if you are a gamer, Realme GT Neo Flash might be better for you as it comes with a 120 Hz refresh rate. It is still an AMOLED panel, but the image quality guaranteed by the OPPO Reno6 Pro 5G is actually higher. Further, it has a slightly wider diagonal of 6.55 inches, while Realme GT Neo Flash has 6.43 inches. The phones are equipped with in-display fingerprint readers. Note that Realme GT Neo Flash has stereo speakers, while its rival does not.
Specs & Software
The most important thing in common between the OPPO Reno6 Pro 5G and Realme GT Neo Flash is the processor. We are talking about the octa-core Dimensity 1200 which is currently the most advanced chipset by MediaTek. It is paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS 3.1 native storage. When it comes to the hardware department, it is a draw because these phones have the same components. The difference is in the software: the OPPO Reno6 Pro 5G runs ColorOS 11.3 which is slightly more advanced than Realme UI 3.0, in my honest opinion.
Camera
The OPPO Reno6 Pro 5G is superior if we talk about camera performance. It has a brighter focal aperture for its 64 MP main camera and it also offers an additional 2 MP depth sensor. Last but not least, it has a much better front camera with a 32 MP resolution. However, we are not talking about huge differences: the Realme GT Neo Flash still comes with a pretty nice camera department, but it is just a midrange camera phone.
OPPO Reno6 Pro 5G and Realme GT Neo have the same battery capacity: 4500 mAh. They even come with the same fast charging technology with a power of 65W. So you should not notice important differences in terms of battery life and the charging speed is exactly the same.
Price
The starting price of the OPPO Reno6 Pro 5G roughly translates into €450/$530, while Realme GT Neo Flash starts from €290/$342. Unfortunately, at least for now, these handsets are only available in the Asian market. The OPPO Reno6 Pro 5G will launch in Europe too, but we do not know anything about the Realme GT Neo Flash. The OPPO Reno6 Pro 5G wins the comparison because of its better design (thinner, lighter, and with a curved screen), superior cameras (brighter focal aperture for the main camera and a better front camera), great display (awesome image quality with the HDR10+ certification). But the Realme GT Neo Flash has a higher value for money and it is more interesting for gamers due to its higher refresh rate and stereo speakers.
OPPO Reno6 Pro 5G vs Realme GT Neo Flash: PRO and CONS
Huami’s Future of Tech event wasn’t only about its new operating system and chipset alone. The company which is best known for its Amazfit brand of smartwatches also took the chance to show that it is expanding its portfolio into other areas of health tech with the unveiling of its upcoming MRI Scanner which it says will be the world’s first portable scanner.
An MRI Scanner is a big diagnosis machine that takes up significant space in hospitals and usually has its own special room. They also can’t be moved around, though that may soon change as Huami says that its MRI scanner will be the world’s first portable one.
According to the manufacturer, the scanner has a height of 1.5 meters, occupies an area of less than 2m², and weighs less than 800 kilograms. The lightest MRI scanner weighs about 6.8 tons while heavier models weigh as much as 37 tons. They also take up as much as 35m² of space and are as high as 2.5 meters.
Huami says its MRI scanner doesn’t need a specially shielded room which reduces the cost of installation and has an average power consumption of 1kW compared to current scanners that consume between 50kW to 120kW. The MRI scanner also boasts high-quality imaging, and when compared to traditional MRIs, there is a difference of about 300 in the signal-to-noise ratio.
We do not know when the MRI Scanner will be available and how much it will cost but we expect it to be cheaper than a lot of the traditional models.
Back in April, Huami announced the Amazfit GTR 2 eSIM, a variant of the Amzafit GTR 2 with an embedded SIM that allows users to make and receive calls from their watch. Now, the smartwatch is set to get a global launch but as the Amazfit GTR 2 LTE.
The official Amazfit Global Twitter account shared a product video of the smartwatch ahead of its launch. The video highlights some of the key features of the watch such as 4G connectivity, support for 90 sports modes, and onboard storage.
Huami has not yet revealed when the smartwatch will be announced but we believe it should be around the corner.
The addition of an LTE eSIM won’t be the only difference between the Amazfit GTR 2 LTE and the standard version. The version sold in China comes with a smaller 338mAh battery capacity as against the 471mAh battery inside the standard version. We guess Huami had to shrink the battery size to make space for the eSIM. Save for these two differences, the rest of the specs are the same.
So you get a 1.39-inch AMOLED screen, NFC, 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0, sleep tracking, and blood oxygen level detection. The Amazfit GTR 2 LTE should also have support for Amazon Alexa when it launches.
There had been a raft of leaks and speculations surrounding the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Z Flip 3, Samsung’s upcoming flagship offerings with an innovative foldable display. Samsung has also swelled the hype by providing some teasers relating to the two smartphones whose release date is still unknown.
A few of the teasers, leaks, and renders indicated that the Galaxy Z Fold 3 will have a traditional S Pen stylus attached to it. However, there have also been some suggestions that it will also support the more extensive and more versatile S Pen Pro. A product filing by Samsung for the S Pen Pro at the United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has now shown that the Galaxy Z Fold will have the S Pen Pro.
The FCC document was just made public and could indicate an imminent launch of the S Pen Pro stylus, which will have Bluetooth connectivity and charges via USB-C. The specific release date of the S Pen Pro is not specified, although it is projected to debut in some of Samsung’s devices slated for unveiling this year. According to the FCC filing, the S Pen Pro will also support the Galaxy S21 Ultra, the Note 20 lineup, Note 10 Lite, Tab S7 series, and other devices that support One UI 3.1 or later.
In line with its tradition for some time, the Samsung Galaxy Unpacked event is slated for August, and some big announcements involving some of Samsung’s flagship and other products lineup could be made. A tipster has already predicted August 11 as the date for the Galaxy Unpacked event, which would herald the release of the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and other devices, including the Z Flip 3, Galaxy Watches, and Galaxy buds.
The Galaxy Z Fold 3 offers some innovative technologies that Samsung hopes will place the device on the higher echelon among its peers when it is eventually unveiled.
