Google is all set to release Android 12 in a couple of months, however, Samsung is yet to update some of its eligible portfolios to last year’s Android 11. The latest devices to get this update are Galaxy M10s and Galaxy Tab A 8.0 (2019).

The South Korean tech giant has begun to roll out the Android 11 update for two of its budget devices, namely Galaxy M10s and Galaxy Tab A 8.0 (2019). The update arrives as One UI Core 3.1 for them.

According to SamMobile, the latest system update for Samsung’s 2019 budget smartphone and tablet comes with firmware versions M107FXXU4CUF5 and T295XXU4CUF7 respectively. For the former, the software build arrives with June 2021 security patches, whereas for the latter, the build features May 2021 security patches.

As of now, the One UI Core 3.1 (Android 11) update for these two products is live in certain regions only. For instance, the update for Galaxy Tab A 8.0 (2019) is being rolled out in countries like Bulgaria, Germany, Greece, Italy, Kazakhstan, Russia, Spain, Switzerland, the Netherlands, and the UK. On other hand, the update for Galaxy M10s is being seeded out in India, the only region where the phone was released.

Huawei Nova 8i with Snapdragon 662 spotted at Geekbench

By

-

Huawei is expected to launch the Nova 8i smartphone this month. Ahead of the launch, the Nova 8i has cropped up in the database of the Geekbench benchmarking platform to reveal its key specifications. Except for a few older phones such as Huawei P8 Lite, Huawei Y6 (2018), and a few Y-series phones that came with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon chips, most of the Huawei phones have featured its homegrown Kirin chipsets. However, the Nova 8i’s Geekbench listing (via) reveals that it will be driven by a Snapdragon chip.

Rumors surrounding the Nova 8i have claimed that it will be featuring the Snapdragon 662 mobile platform. The handset has appeared with its NEN-L22 model number on the benchmarking platform. The listing reveals that Qualcomm’s octa-core chip that fuels the Nova 8i has four CPU cores working at 1.80GHz and quad CPU cores ticking at 2.02GHz. The Snapdragon 662 offers the same processing speeds, which indicates that it could be present under the hood of the Nova 8i.

The Nova 8i’s Geekbench listing further reveals that it has 8 GB of RAM. The Android 10 OS available on the device could be overlaid with an EMUI skin. The handset scored 307 points in the single-core test of Geekbench, while it recorded 1290 points in the multi-core test.

Huawei Nova 8i specifications (Rumored)

The Huawei Nova 8i may house a 6.67-inch IPS LCD panel with a punch-hole design. It will support Full HD+ resolution, but it isn’t clear whether it will offer a higher refresh rate. There is no information on the front camera of the device, but its rear has a circular camera housing for a 64-megapixel + 8-megapixel + 2-megapixel + 2-megapixel quad-camera system.

The Nova 8i may come with a 4,300mAh battery that supports 65W rapid charging. For security, it will sport a side-mounted fingerprint scanner. The Nova 8i is expected to arrive in three colors like Moonlight Silver, Starry Black, and Interstellar Blue.

Samsung is preparing to launch its new Galaxy F-series smartphone in the Indian market, dubbed Samsung Galaxy F22. Now, the launch date of this fourth F-series smartphone from the company has been confirmed.

The South Korean giant has confirmed that the Galaxy F22 will be officially launched in India on 6th July and will be available for purchase through the online marketplace Flipkart and is likely to be priced under ₹15,000.

Samsung Galaxy F22 Flipkart Listing

There are some reports which claim that the Galaxy F22 will be a rebadged version of the Galaxy A22, which recently went official in India. It remains to be seen whether there are any differences between the two devices.

Samsung Galaxy F22 listing on Flipkart reveals that the smartphone will feature a 6.4-inch AMOLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate. Previous leaks have revealed that the phone could have HD+ screen resolution (1339 x 720 pixels).

On the back, the phone will feature a quad-camera setup consisting of a 48-megapixel primary camera sensor along with an 8-megapixel secondary sensor, and two 2-megapixel sensors for depth sensing and macro photography.

The phone with model number SM-E225F recently appeared in the database of the Google Play Console. It is likely to come powered by the MediaTek Helio G80 chipset along with 4GB RAM. The smartphone will run the Android 11 operating system with the company’s own One UI 3.0 on top.

So far, Samsung has launched Galaxy F62, F12, and F02s smartphones this year and this will be yet another F-series phone in the market. With this lineup of budget phones, the South Korean giant aims to take on the likes of Xiaomi, Redmi, and Realme.

Huawei P50 live Images show a Sparkling Pink Colorway

Huawei is expected to launch the P50 series sometime in late July this year. Although not officially confirmed, the Chinese smartphone giant is rumored to debut the Huawei P50 phones on July 29 in the home market, China. With all the launch rumors on the way, we saw a few poster leaks of the P50 series last month. Now, we have received live images of the smartphone in a unique shade. 

Huawei P50

As of now, it is evident that the series will consist of a few devices featuring multiple cameras. The major highlight will be the huge lenses at the rear. The huge round camera housings accommodate multiple sensors inside. Also, the Pink color, which is something unique in the color palette from Huawei, has a glitter-like shiny sparkling. 

Huawei P50 sparkling pink

The device has a Huawei branding at the bottom left and a LEICA branding beneath the huge camera island. The LEICA branding suggests the German brand’s partnership with Huawei. Although LEICA has created a market for the Japanese audience with the Leitz Phone 1, the Chinese market seems to be getting the popular Huawei-LEICA partnership back. It is worth noting that this could be the last partnership between the two brands. 

The phone has three sensors in the upper camera bulge and a periscope camera with a dedicated LED flash in the lower camera bulge. It has another regular-sized LED flash, probably for the other three sensors. 

Aside from this, the Huawei P50 series is expected to be powered by the 5nm based Kirin 9000 chipset for the home market and Snapdragon 888 flagship chipset for a few of its siblings in the series. Notably, it is said that the Snapdragon 888 in a few P50 phones will be an LTE-only version.

Motorola Edge 20 series may launch by July end

By
Anvinraj Valiyathara
-

Last week, reliable leaker Evan Blass shared the full specifications of upcoming Motorola phones that are codenamed as Berlin/Berlin NA, Pstar, and Kyoto. It is speculated that these phones may release in the market as Motorola Edge 20 series phones. Blass has now claimed that these smartphones will debut by “very end” of this month.

It is likely that the Berlin and Berlin NA phones may release with Edge 20 moniker. The NA model is reportedly aimed towards North American on Verizon, and the Berlin model is heading to the global markets. Both smartphones are powered by the Snapdragon 778G chipset, but the global model appears to be a downgraded edition of the North American model as it has a smaller display and battery. However, the global model has better cameras than the NA variant.

The Pstar model is expected to debut as the Edge 20+ handset and it may release in multiple markets such as Asia, Europe, Australia, Latin America, China, and India. Earlier this year, Motorola announced the Edge S flagship featuring the Snapdragon 870 chip in China. Later, it was made available in global markets with the Moto G100 moniker. The purported Edge 20+ is also expected to feature the Snapdragon 870 SoC.

The monikers of the Berlin/Berlin NA and Pstar models have not been revealed yet. The specs of the Edge 20 Lite suggest that it will be the most affordable phone in the lineup. While the new Edge 20 models are expected to launch by July end, there is no official confirmation yet from Motorola.

Vivo is expected to soon launch a new S-series smartphone in its home country China later this month. The device will be the successor of the S9, dubbed as Vivo S10. Ahead of the official launch, some details of the phone have already surfaced online.

Now, the device has passed through the Geekbench benchmarking platform, confirming some of the features of the upcoming phone. The listing reveals that the smartphone carries model number V2121A.

It has been confirmed that the smartphone will be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 1100 chipset and up to 12GB of RAM. We are also expecting an 8GB RAM model of the device and the phone is likely to have 128GB and 256GB of internal storage.

The smartphone will be running the Android 11 operating system out-of-the-box with the company’s own OriginOS on top. In the benchmarking platform, the device managed to score 647 and 2398 points in the single-core and multi-core tests.

Previous leaks have revealed that the phone will feature a 6.44-inch Full HD+ display and triple-camera setup consisting of a 108-megapixel primary sensor. It is also expected to have a 44-megapixel front snapper but other details are not yet known. While the battery capacity remains unknown, it is said to support 44W fast charging technology that can charge the phone up to 38 percent in just 15 minutes.

Alleged iPhone 13 prototype shows redesigned rear cameras

By
Habeeb Onawole
-

Apple has largely maintained the same design for the iPhone for a few years now with slight changes, and it appears that will be the case again this year. A photo alleged to be that of the iPhone 13 has been posted on the internet and it shows some of these small design changes.

iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro

The source of the image is said to be a leaker that goes by DuanRui (via MyDrivers) and the photo shows two Apple-branded devices in white. One has dual cameras and is believed to be the iPhone 13 while the other with three cameras is the iPhone 13 Pro.

For the iPhone 13, the squircle camera housing remains unchanged, so also is the number of sensors. However, rather than having the cameras on top of each other like those on the iPhone 12, they are arranged diagonally. Also, the LED flash has been moved to the top while the microphone is now at the bottom. It is a small but noticeable change.

iPhone 13 front

There is also a difference in design on the front. Unlike the iPhone 12 that has a slit for the earpiece on the same line as the sensors and front-facing camera, the iPhone 13 has its slit closer to the frame. Other design changes reported include a slightly thicker body and a smaller notch.

While these images look legit, we still advise that they be taken with a pinch of salt until more evidence surfaces.

Nintendo Switch Pro to feature 8nm processor codenamed “Dane”

By
Habeeb Onawole
-

The Switch Pro is a rumored upcoming console from Nintendo. There have been multiple reports about the handheld gaming console which is expected to launch as the successor to the original Switch announced in 2016. New details of the console have now surfaced.

According to the leaker that goes by kopite7kimi on Reddit, the Switch Pro will be powered by a processor codenamed “Dane”. This may sound like a conflicting statement to an earlier report that revealed the chipset is codenamed “Black Knight”. It turns out both details are correct.

Nintendo Switch

Apparently, both “Dane” and “Black Knight” are one and the same. NVIDIA is known to codename its chips after Marvel Comics characters, and those who are well versed in comic lore will know that the real name of the Marvel character that goes by “Black Knight” is Dane Whitman. FYI – the character is set to appear in the upcoming Marvel’s Eternals movie and will be played by Kit Harington who is best known for his portrayal of Jon Snow in Game of Thrones.

It has also been reported that “Dane” is an 8nm chip which is a big upgrade from the 20nm chipset that powers the original Nintendo Switch. Even the 2019 refresh of the console features a 16nm chipset. The advantage of a smaller node size means better power efficiency and performance. This should translate into longer battery life for the upcoming console when compared to the first-gen model.

The latest report about the launch date for the Nintendo Switch Pro states that the console will not launch this year but next year. It remains to be seen if this is true.

Energizer Hard Case G5 is the brand’s first 5G rugged phone

By

-

There is a new Energizer rugged smartphone and it has 5G, a first for the brand. The Energizer Hard Case G5 is made by Avenir Telecom, a licensee for the Energizer brand name.

Energizer Hard Case G5 featured

The Energizer Hard Case G5 has a 6.3-inch FHD IPS display with a waterdrop notch and Gorilla Glass 5 protection. The bezels are not the slimmest, most especially the lower bezel. The device has a rubberized body with reinforced corners to absorb shocks when it drops.

Powering the Energizer Hard Case G5 is a Dimensity 720 processor paired with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. There is a MicroSD card slot that allows for storage expansion. For the cameras, there is a 48MP main sensor, a 13MP ultrawide angle camera, and a 20MP night camera that allows for nighttime shots thanks to an infrared illuminator positioned near the 48MP sensor at the bottom. Inside the notch is an 8MP camera.

Energizer Hard Case G5

There is a 5000mAh battery inside the phone that charges via USB-C. There is no audio jack but the device has an FM radio. It also has NFC, dual SIM support, and a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner. The Hard Case G5 has an IP69 rating.

Avenir ships the phone with Android 11. It has been reported that the phone will be available in the fourth quarter of the year with a $600 price tag.

 

Energizer U680S

Avenir also launched a 4G smartphone called the Energizer Ultimate U680S but this is not a rugged phone like the Energizer Hard Case G5.

The budget phone priced at $140, has a 6.8-inch IPS LCD screen with a 1640 x 720 resolution and a waterdrop notch. There is a UNISOC SC9863A processor inside, a chipset found in many entry-level devices, and it is paired with 2GB of RAM and 32GB of expandable storage.

Energizer Ultimate U680S

The Energizer Ultimate U680S has triple rear cameras – a 13MP main sensor, a 2MP sensor, and a VGA camera. A 5MP camera is in front for selfies. There is no fingerprint scanner but there is an audio jack and FM radio. It also has dual SIM support.

While most of the specs are not impressive, where the Energizer Ultimate U680S shines is in the battery department. It packs a 7000mAh battery that should last at least two days on a single charge. The charging speed is unknown but it charges via a USB-C port. It also runs Android 11 out of the box.

The Energizer Ultimate U680S will be available in Q4 too.

Anker is following up on the teaser it gave earlier in the year and has now provided greater details about the specifications of its latest offering – the all-new Apex Thunderbolt 4 Dock. The Thunderbolt 4 Dock comes with many impressive features that place it at the high end of the spectrum.Anker’s Apex Thunderbolt 4 Dock

Anker launched the Thunderbolt Dock Mini in 2020, and it has had a fair reception up to date, although there were some practical drawbacks from the device concerning the versatility of the ports on offer. It would seem that the observed deficiency of the Thunderbolt Dock Mini has been resolved excellently in the latest offering, as the dock sports 12 different ports for a variety of functions.

The Anker Thunderbolt 4 shares the same design philosophy as the Thunderbolt Dock Mini, although there are some areas of departure. Twelve ports, including its signature 90W Thunderbolt 4 port, can provide charging resources for the lineup of Apple Macbooks and other Windows devices. Two HDMI ports are also available, together with three USB-C, four USB-A ports, and a Gigabit Ethernet port, all combine to deliver a flexible and great design. It also has an improved I/O functionality which places the Apex Thunderbolt 4 Dock at the top of the spectrum.Anker’s Apex Thunderbolt 4 Dock

The dock looks to be well-kitted with some impressive features to provide solid output and versatility for its users. It has an 8K display with a 30Hz refresh rate, a 4K display with a 120Hz refresh rate, and a combination of these can yield 30Hz refresh rates. Multiple monitors can be connected simultaneously on the device.

As stated earlier, the Apex Thunderbolt 4 Dock is presently available on Amazon US and it is priced at $299.99. This also places it on the high end in comparison with other current models with coordinate functionality and features. However, we would expect the device’s great features to steer it to success in the market despite its cost.

Xiaomi to hike smart TV price in India once again: Report

By

Xiaomi is the leading smartphone as well as smart TV brand in India. The company is known for its affordable products in the country. But lately, the firm has been hiking the price of some of its devices. As per a new report, Xiaomi may once again increment the price of its Mi TVs and Redmi TVs in the country.

Xiaomi Mi QLED TV 4K 55 Featured 01
Xiaomi Mi QLED TV 4K 55

ET Telecom reports that Xiaomi is expected to hike the price of smart televisions in India by 4-6% from July. For those unaware, companies have been increasing the price of TVs in the country since the beginning of this year.

According to the publication, the upcoming TV price hike by various brands will be the third round in the last six months. Companies have already increased the price of their televisions by 10-12%. The year 2021 marks the highest price hike of televisions in a single year.

The main reason for the increase in TV price is due to the prolonged shortage of ‘Open Cell’ (panel) globally. ‘Open Cell’ accounts for almost 70% of the cost of a television. India mostly imports them from China and Vietnam.

Recently, Xiaomi hiked the price of the Redmi Note 10 in the country for the third time. This was due to the increase in the price of supplies. As per industry experts, the cost of chipsets, battery packs, and others (camera modules, sensors) have increased by 20%, 10%, and 5% respectively.

Lastly, as per Debasish Jana, research analyst at Counterpoint Research, If this trend continues, it may affect demand in India as a result of the country’s economic situation caused by the second wave of COVID-19.

Hero Cycles launches the first Made-in-India electric bike in Germany

By
Jed John Ikoba
-

There has been a rise in electric bikes as an alternative transportation mode across the world. The rising demand for e-bikes in the European market has led Indian company Hero Cycles to deliver its first batch of made-in-India e-bike dubbed Hero Lectro to Germany as it targets the EU market.Hero Cycles

The delivery of the first made-in-India electric bikes to Europe is a milestone for Hero. It is pursuing its investment and expansion plans to get up to half a billion Euros from its Europe adventures by 2025. Chinese manufacturers and local European companies are dominating the European fast-growing two-wheeler electric vehicle (EV) turf. But Indian companies could be seeking a piece of the European pie as competitors to Chinese manufacturers. India has seen a rapid increase in the number of startups producing e-bikes, while some established manufacturers like Hero are shifting attention to this area.Hero Bike

India is fast rising in the development of small electric vehicles and systems. As a result, it can indeed leverage its development strides that had seen the country dominate the global motorcycle and tricycle market with some heavy-hitting companies. In addition, the policy climate in India is encouraging the blossoming and production of electric vehicles as a solution to the transportation challenges.

The coronavirus pandemic could be viewed as a proximate factor that contributed to the growth of the two-wheeler EV industry, as demand for such products grew during the pandemic. Many persons preferred to avoid crowded vehicles and sought the individuality of commuting within their cities using e-bikes. Their affordability and compact nature also endeared the e-bikes to many across the world.

To advance its European aspirations, Hero Cycles will pursue its quest to become a new leader in the European market, thus squaring up with leading Chinese manufacturers. The absence of a stringent tariff regime for Indian bikes could give Hero Cycles a competitive edge over its Chinese counterparts. Hero also hopes to leverage its massive manufacturing capacity and resources as the world’s largest motorcycle manufacturer.

Hero Cycles will hope to scale up its manufacturing capacity and exports to Europe over the next few years for it to get close to the leading Chinese manufacturers. Innovation will undoubtedly drive this pursuit, and Hero is already focused on that aspect. Hero recently partnered with Gogoro to deploy Gogoro’s innovative battery swapping system and infrastructure that could expand the range and versatility of Hero’s e-bikes.

Nokia X60 series rumoured to launch this year running Huawei’s HarmonyOS

By
Jed John Ikoba
-

Huawei recently announced HarmonyOS 2 developed as a cross-platform operating system. The Chinese company has beckoned on other Chinese phone makers to use the OS that it says is an alternative to the Android OS, but there has been no sign of too many OEMs swaying towards HarmonyOS’ direction. The only non-Huawei product that has been launched with HarmonyOS is Midea’s smart home products including a refrigerator.  Nokia C01 Plus featured

A rumor has emerged that Finnish phone maker Nokia will launch the Nokia X60 series later this year. That’s not even the part that makes this a spectacular story. What makes this surprising s that the models are rumored to run HarmonyOS out-of-the-box.

The rumor which was first reported by the Taiwanese media claims that the series will consist of the Nokia X60 and X60 Pro, both of which will be launched this year. The closest in the X series to these models are the Nokia X10 and X20 which are really not flagship models but are powered by the Snapdragon 480 chipset.

The Nokia X60 models are expected to feature a curved-edge display as well as a mammoth 6,000mAh battery. The models are also expected to pack a 200MP main shooter and several high-end features. This year we have seen quite a number of models launch with 100MP sensors. We expect more OEMs to shift their attention to the large sensors.

While we can’t verify the authenticity of this news, it could turn out to be true, but that may likely be for the models launched in China. For Nokia mobile, this is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity to rake in more sales as the models may likely perform well in China.
