Samsung is long rumored to launch its next-gen foldable smartphones and smartwatches in either late July or August. Now, as we are slowly approaching the stipulated timeline, the exact launch date and shipping dates for these products have been tipped by two different reliable sources.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3
According to Max Weinbach of Android Police, the next Samsung Unpacked event will take place on August 3. At this conference, the South Korean tech giant will be officially unveiling Galaxy Z Fold3, Galaxy Z Flip3, Galaxy Watch4, and Galaxy Watch Active4.
Further, as per Jon Prosser, the Galaxy Watch4 series will start shipping from August 11. Whereas, the third-generation Galaxy Z series foldables will begin shipping from August 27.
In other words, the new smartwatches will reach customers a week after their announcement. However, the latest foldables will take over 3 weeks.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3
As far as features are concerned, the Galaxy Watch4 series will run the new revamped Wear OS co-developed by Google, Samsung, and Fitbit. The wearables will be available in two sizes as well as Bluetooth-only and cellular variants.
On the other hand, the Galaxy Z Fold3 and the Galaxy Z Flip3 will arrive with new designs and improvements over their predecessors. The former is said to have support for the S Pen stylus and will feature an under-display camera (UDC). Lastly, the latter is expected to sport a dual-tone paint job and a larger cover display.
Apple is reported to launch the iPad Mini 6th Generation by the end of this year. Details about this product are in the news since last year. But for the first time, we now get to see its design, courtesy of renders from a reliable leaker.
There have been multiple iPad Mini 6th Generation renders in the past. However, all of them were fishy. That‘s because they suggested features like in-display Touch ID and punch-hole front-facing camera, which were never mentioned by trusted sources.
Whereas, the new renders come from none other than Jon Prosser, who recently even shared similar renders of Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro. The tipster has partnered with Ian Zelbo (@RendersbyIan) for the renders of iPad Mini 6th Generation based on live pictures, schematics, and CAD files he received from multiple sources.
According to these renders, the iPad Mini will get its first redesign in six years. The sixth-generation iPad Mini will feature a similar boxy design as the iPad Air 4th Generation, newer iPad Pro models, and the iPhone 12 series.
Hence, it will have flat sides, thinner bezels, and an 8.4 to 8.9-inch display as revealed by Mark Gurman recently. As a result, there will be no home button and the Touch ID moves to the power button on top.
Further, the product will come with improved speakers and a USB Type-C port. Hence, it will be the third iPad series without the dated lightning port. As far as size and colors are concerned, it is said to measure 206.3mm x 137.8mm x 6.1mm in dimensions and will be available in three colors (silver, black, gold).
Last but not least, there could be a smaller Apple Pencil for the iPad Mini 6th Generation. But there’s also a chance that this stylus could end up as Apple Pencil 3rd Generation for all the iPad models.
As of now, there’s no official launch date for the next-gen small tablet from Apple. Anyway, it is expected to go official by the end of 2021.
Samsung has announced the release of its impressive and affordable robot vacuum cleaners, the Samsung Jet Bot series for the European market. The Jet Bot series starts at 499 Euros for the base model, which is affordable but the premium variant is way higher (1,499 Euros). This is coming several months after the products were first unveiled at CES in January. The Jet Bot AI was also launched in South Korea last month. Samsung is increasingly releasing some of its offerings in the Home Appliances segment to its Korean customers before a global rollout is factored in.
There are three versions of the Jet Bot series, and they offer slightly different features. The JetBot 80 is the base model and will cost European customers 499 Euros. The JetBot 80+ is an improved version and will retail in Europe for 699 Euros. Finally, the premium JetBot 95 AI+ carries a steep 1,499 Euro price tag.
The JetBot 80 does not have a suction station with built-in bags and lacks support for artificial intelligence, as present in the JetBot 95 AI+. The suction station is also present in the JetBot 80+.
One of the major standout features of the Jet Bot vacuum cleaner is its retractable LiDAR sensor, which could stand the gadget out among its potential competitors like Roborock and Dyson. The LiDAR feature makes it possible for the robot vacuum cleaners to effectively map the cleaning environment in a detailed manner and navigate through corners and other difficult areas for a good cleaning exercise.
Samsung JetBot 80+
Another important feature available in the more expensive JetBot 95 AI+ model is the ability to effectively identify different objects like pets and people in navigating through the environment. It is therefore primed to give a comprehensive cleaning of your room or any other area.
Samsung JetBot 95 AI+
The JetBot series also have app support from Samsung’s SmartThings app, which can help users specify and organize the cleaning task to suit the user’s desires. All three models will be available this month in Europe.
Razer has a new pair of Bluetooth headphones but it is not designed for consoles. However, the low-latency gaming mode of the Razer Opus X makes it great for mobile gaming.
The Opus X is a cheaper version of the original Opus with a price tag of $99.99, half the price of the latter. The new wireless headset comes in Mercury, Quartz, and Green (exclusive to Razer.com). It has a padded leatherette headband and rotatable ear cups with leatherette ear cushions.
Razer has equipped the headphones with custom-tuned 40mm drivers that provide a rich audio experience. There are internal microphones that pick up your voice when you use the headset for voice calls, and Razer claims that those on the other end can hear you with “perfect clarity”.
The Razer Opus X has Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) that blocks out the noise when watching a movie or listening to your favorite podcast. There is also a feature called Quick Attention Mode that allows outside sound in when activated. This comes in handy when you are outdoors or need to be aware of what is going on around you.
1 of 3
As stated above, the headset is not designed for consoles as Razer has special headphones for the PlayStation and Xbox. However, the 60ms low latency gaming mode of the Opus X makes it great for mobile gaming on your phone or tablet.
The Opus X has a battery life of up to 30 hours (up to 40 hours with ANC off). It charges through a USB-C port and connects via Bluetooth 5.0. On one of the earcups are the volume control buttons, power button, multifunction button, and LED indicator. The power button doubles as the ANC button and for activating Quick Attention Mode.
You can purchase the headphones on Razer’s website as well as on Amazon.
The TicWatch E3 is a new smartwatch from Mobvoi that is expected to launch soon. The smartwatch which will launch as a successor to the 2019 TicWatch E2 has leaked ahead of its release, giving us a good look at its design as well as key specs.
In the video, the smartwatch is shown to come in a white square box that has an image of the wearable as well as some specs printed on it. The smartwatch itself comes in black with matching silicone straps and there is a chance that will be the only color available as that is the only color its predecessor comes in.
The TicWatch E3 is a pretty thick smartwatch as it is significantly thicker than the OnePlus Watch which the leaker is wearing. For your information, the OnePlus Watch is 10.9 millimeters thick. There are two buttons on the side of the watch and the round display is covered in 2.5D glass.
The underside is home to four contact pins at the top which attaches magnetically to the included charging cable in the box. There are also five sensors for heart rate monitoring and blood oxygen level measurement. The source confirms that the watch has a microphone and speaker and we can see slits on the body for these features.
The display has a black bezel around it, and surprisingly, it is reported that it is not an OLED type. Under the thick body is a Snapdragon Wear 4100 processor, the same chip inside the TicWatch Pro 3. The smartwatch also has support for more than 20 workout modes and can also track stress, sleep, and VO2 max during workouts.
Mobvoi already announced that it has a launch scheduled for June 16 and there is a high chance that the TicWatch E3 will be announced on that day. We don’t know how much it will cost but we have a feeling it may be a little higher than the $159.99 launch price of the TicWatch E2.
Earlier this week, a landing page of the Galaxy Tab A7 Lite tablet was spotted on Amazon India. It confirmed that Samsung will be announcing it on June 23 in the country. The landing page of the Galaxy Tab S7 FE (Fan Edition) 5G also went live on the retailer site, revealing that it will be made official alongside the Tab A7 Lite.
Readers can see the key features of the Galaxy Tab S7 FE that are mentioned in its microsite at Amazon India. The tablet was announced in the previous month in Europe in three options such as Wi-Fi only, 4G LTE, and 5G. Samsung is yet to confirm whether all three variants will be made available in India.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 FE price in India
Recently, IANS reported that the Galaxy Tab A7 Lite will be priced at around Rs 15,000 (~$209). It further claimed that the Tab S7 FE will cost around Rs 55,000 (~$751).

Samsung Electronics has unveiled its new improved Bespoke Dishwasher specifically designed from the Korean culture of hygiene in culinary matters. The Samsung Bespoke Dishwasher presently on sale in the brand’s home market of Korean market.
In recent months, Samsung has been availing its home customers of a rich vein of household products custom-made to suit the needs of individuals and households. The Bespoke Dishwasher was first introduced to the market last year and has gotten a solid rating within the past year. It is a powerful and thorough cleaning device. The design bears an imprimatur of the Samsung touch of quality. The device uses a four-stage three-dimensional process to provide efficient cleaning of the dishes.
The new Samsung Bespoke Dishwasher features 360-degree “Jet Shot” and “Hot Air” drying capabilities that enable it to provide a versatile cleaning service for users of the gadget. The 360-degree Jet Shot uses a strong stream of hot water to clean surfaces that otherwise would be difficult to clean with normal cleaning. The hot air drying function then assists to quickly dry and sterilize dishes. The five-step drying system uses a combination of water vaporization and heating to effectively remove all the moisture in the dish before the completion of the drying process.
Samsung says the Bespoke Dishwasher is capable of removing up to 100% of harmful components and germs in a baby’s feeding bottle by using the Baby Bottle sterilization option. The important thing is that the sterilization and cleaning of the baby ware are done without the application of detergents. The Pail Sterilization option will also help you to sterilize the cooking utensil with a high-temperature stream without the use of a detergent.
There are several other options available in the new dishwasher that puts it high among other dishwashers. In Korea, the various versions of the Bespoke Dishwasher are available between 1.44 million to 1.84 million won (between $1,289 and $1,647). There is no indication yet on the possible sale of the product abroad.
Chinese electronics manufacturer Anker has launched the Soundcore Life P3 earbuds. The Soundcore Life P3 takes over from the Soundcore Life P2 which was launched last year. The new truly wireless earbuds come with Active Noise Cancellation among other features and are priced at £79.99 (~$120). This is relatively lower than the prices of other premium earbuds with ANC in this segment.
The Soundcore Life P3 is equipped with six microphones which enable the noise cancellation features. It also boasts of Transport, Indoor, and Outdoor modes with different noise cancellation settings. The earbuds offer two transparency modes which guarantee the inflow of sounds ranging from conversations to a car honk with the earbuds still on.
In addition, the Soundcore Life P3 earbuds also feature a new “Find Your Earbuds” mode. It produces a high-pitched noise that makes it easy for you to locate your misplaced earbuds. You can find identical features in Apple’s AirPods. It also comes with a Sleep mode as well as a Gaming mode which guarantees low latency while gaming.
Further, the 11m Composite drivers, in addition to its fortified nanolayers, guarantee distinct sounds on all the frequencies, and the IPX5 waterproofing ensures sweat and spills don’t damage the buds.
The Soundcore Life P3 comes with a very reliable battery, and when noise cancellation is enabled, each bud can last for about seven hours on a single charge. The sleek carrying case which doubles as a wireless charging case guarantees about 30 hours of playback, while there’s also the option of wired charging through USB-C for the carrying case. A ten-minute charge in the fast charge mode gives you about two hours of playback.
The Life P3 Earbuds is compatible with Apple’s Siri voice assistant. It is also expected to have support for other well-known voice assistants in due course. There are functions for play, skip and pause on its built-in touch controls.
Pricing and Availability
Anker’s Soundcore Life P3 Earbuds is already available for pre-order from Soundcore‘s UK website. The gadget is expected to go on sale in July.

On June 16, Honor will be announcing the much-awaited Honor 50 series of smartphones. A new leak by 91mobileswith reliable tipster Ishan Agarwal as the source has revealed the entire specs of the Honor 50 lineup. Since the leak has no information on the rumored Snapdragon 888 powered Honor 50 Pro+, it seems that the company may not launch it on June 16.
Honor 50 5G and Honor 50 Pro 5G specifications
The new leak reveals that the Honor 50 5G has a 6.57-inch OLED FHD+ display with a 32-megapixel front-facing camera.

Samsung recently launched its most affordable 5G phone: the Galaxy A22 5G. Probably a lot of people did not expect a so affordable 5G device from a brand like Samsung, but it became very evident how the Korean giant wants to fight the Chinese concurrency with all of its strength. That is why we think it is a great moment to compare the Samsung Galaxy A22 5G with the other entry-level 5G phones. Among the most affordable 5G devices sold in the global market, you have the Realme 8 5G and the OPPO A54 5G. Here is a specs comparison between three of the cheapest but valid 5G phones out there.

Design
Samsung Galaxy A22 5G does not provide an amazing design. Just like its two rivals, it is entirely built of plastic, but its design looks more outdated. Instead of a punch-hole display, it comes with a waterdrop notch and it has thicker bezels around the screen. The OPPO A54 5G is definitely more attractive not only for its punch-hole display but also because it comes in catchier color variants. The Realme 8 5G is nice as well, despite I personally prefer the design of the OPPO A54 5G.
Display
The OPPO A54 5G is equipped with the most advanced display: an LTPS panel with a Full HD+ resolution and a 90 Hz refresh rate. With the Realme 8 5G, you get an IPS display with a Full HD+ resolution and a 90 Hz refresh rate which sits in the middle. The Samsung Galaxy A22 5G is Full HD+ and 90 Hz as well, but it has a TFT panel. Each of these phones comes with a side-mounted fingerprint reader.
Hardware/Software
The most advanced hardware setup belongs to the Realme 8 5G. It is powered by the Dimensity 700 mobile platform built at 7 nm paired with up to 8 GB of RAM and up to 128 GB of UFS 2.1 native storage which you can furtherly expand through a micro SD dedicated slot. Right after, we got the Samsung Galaxy A22 5G with a Dimensity 700 chipset and memory configuration up to 8/128 GB, but it has no UFS 2.1 storage. With the OPPO A54 5G you get Snapdragon 480, 4 GB of RAM, and 64 GB of native storage. All the phones run Android 11 with customized UIs.
Camera
If you need the most advanced camera department, you should go for the OPPO A54 5G. All of these phones come with a 48 MP main camera sporting an f/1.8 focal aperture, but the OPPO A54 5G has better secondary sensors, including an 8 MP ultrawide camera, a 2 MP macro camera, and a 2 MP depth sensor. Realme 8 5G lacks an ultrawide camera, while Samsung Galaxy A22 5G has an inferior ultrawide sensor and it lacks a dedicated macro camera.
Battery
Samsung Galaxy A22 5G, Realme 8 5G, and Samsung Galaxy A22 5G are equipped with 5000 mAh batteries and provide a great battery life, but the OPPO A54 5G lacks fast charging, unlike its two opponents.
Samsung Galaxy A22 5G vs OPPO A54 5G vs Realme 8 5G: Price
Samsung Galaxy A22 5G is priced €230/$279 in its base variant, Realme 8 5G starts from €199/$241, and OPPO A54 5G costs €269/$326 (Europe). The OPPO A54 5G is definitely the best device if we exclude the fact that it only comes in a 4/64 GB configuration, but the Realme 8 5G has the highest value for money.

The automobile industry is going through a phase, which can be related to the aftermath of the introduction of the first iPhone. Software plays a key role in this transition period of the industry. Hence, multiple companies are trying to get a slice of the market before it explodes. Huawei is one of those firms with its HarmonyOS.
Huawei advertises its HarmonyOS as a distributed operating system capable of running on devices from various categories. Although the company claims it to be based on a microkernel, that’s not true for the operating system’s current status.
Right now, the company labels multiple operating systems as HarmonyOS. However, there does exist a self-developed microkernel.
According to a report by CITIC Securities (via ITHome), this microkernel, along with the Linux kernel, and LiteOS make up the HarmonyOS used in cars. The OS also has ASIL-D high-level safety certification. Above all, the operating system is said to redefine the automotive software industry by applying the smartphone ecosystem.
Huawei’s work in developing the software for automotive is appreciated. The company has the potential of signing new clients. HarmonyOS is already used in cars like ArcFox Alpha S, SERES SF5, and GAC Trumpchi.
Additionally, yesterday, the company revealed its plans to develop driverless car technology by 2025. All we can say is that Huawei is ambitious towards the development of HarmonyOS. But we don’t know what the future holds for the company as its global smartphone market share plunged to 4% in Q1 2021.
What are your thoughts on Huawei’s HarmonyOS? Do you think it can compete with the likes of Google’s Android Automotive and Blackberry’s QNX? Do let us know in the comment section below.
Xiaomi has launched the Duka LI1 Laser Rangefinder under crowdfunding on the Youpin platform. The device has an original price of 159 yuan but will be sold during the crowdfunding period for 99 yuan (~$16).

Huawei Thursday held the Huawei Developer Conference (HDC) in China and the major highlight of the event was the announcement that HarmonyOS apps have reached 134,000. The company also disclosed that over 4 million developers have enlisted on the platform.
The Chinese tech giant also announced an upgraded HMS Core 6.0 during the event. HMS Core has several tools that will assist app developers to develop apps for the Huawei ecosystem. The tool includes a complete set of open HMS Apps and HMS Core, HMS Capabilities, HMS Connect, as well IDE tools for development and testing. HM Core 4.0 was only launched in January 2020 but by June of last year, the company released an upgraded HMS 5.0. One year after an even higher Core 6.0 is now official, obviously coming with several upgrades.
The speed at which the company is releasing the upgrades is an indication of its desire to grow the Huawei ecosystem which is key to the success of the HarmonyOS. The presence of 134,000 apps makes HMS the third-largest in the world after the Google Play Store and Apple’s app store.
One way Huawei was able to bring onboard over 4,000,000 developers is through offering several incentives. The company is sustaining this with the global launch of the 2021 Huawei HMS Global Application Innovation Competition. Huawei hopes to continue to attract developers and inspire greater innovation, create more beauty, and build a smart ecology of the devices covered by HMS.

The German company is known for making eyeglass lenses, binoculars, and camera lenses. In an effort to further expand its presence in the smartphone camera market, Zeiss China, the local subsidiary, has partnered with Chinese smartphone maker Vivo and launched Vivo X60 series phones.
Smartphone makers are now partnering with optical image sensor makers to enhance the camera performance of their devices. This is being done to offer a unique feature and highlight the photography experience, a feature that has now become a make-or-break deal type for many users worldwide.
Maximilian Foerst, President and Managing Director of Zeiss China says that the company is committed to developing mobile imaging technologies as it sees great potential in the extremely dynamic market. He further adds that mobile imaging technology will be a key differentiator and an important driver of the mobile market worldwide.
Vivo and Zeiss are also establishing a joint Research & Development program which would be known as Vivo ZEISS Imaging Lab. It will be focused on developing innovative solutions for mobile imaging technology. Also, the program will oversee the joint development and co-engineering of optical components that would feature on Vivo flagships.
