At the WWDC 2021 which was held on Monday in the US, Apple also announced a new operating system for its smart wearables, the watchOS 8. The new OS version arrives with some innovative features ahead of its predecessor. The Developer version of the watchOS 8 is now available to members of Apple’s Developer team, while the public beta version will be released this fall.
Quite importantly, the watchOS 8 has support for Ultra-Wideband connectivity and your smartwatch can activate a smart device using its buttons and the redesigned Home app. It is also possible to broadcast messages within the home ecosystem of smart wearables.
The watchOS is the driving force behind Apple’s smart wearables ecosystem, and this latest version features an improved Photos app, with a new grid view of your photos. A few additional functionalities are available. Users can share photos via the iMessage app, add text to photos through Scribble and Dictation.
Apple seeks to scale up the support from its smart wearable devices as health and fitness gadgets. The Mindfulness app is designed to remind the user of several activities that will help to enhance health and fitness generally. Some of these activities including relaxation breathing, thinking positive thoughts, and others.
The Apple watchOS 8 will generate data on various perspectives on the user’s health and fitness. Sleep patterns could be easily mapped. A few additional modes have also been included in the Fitness app. Specifically, Tai Chi and Pilates exercise modes have been added.
Smart wearable devices have taken a whole new direction in the height of the coronavirus pandemic last year. A particular study showed that an Apple smart wearable device could identify the possibility of being infected several days before physical symptoms.
Apple has announced the latest software update to its operating system with the new improved iOS 15. The new operating system for iPhones was perhaps the biggest news of the WWDC 2021 event. The iOS 15 is already available to Apple Developer members, while the public beta version will come on stream with a public beta by July 2021.
A major highlight of the iOS 15 is the overhauling of the video chat feature via Facetime to accommodate new features and provide a very compelling real-time communication within the apple device. The iOS 15 will have the spatial audio feature incorporated into Facetime to provide a more exciting video chat experience on the latest operating system from Apple.
The spatial audio feature will enable users to hear the recipients from the direction of the Apple device. The spatial audio will give an all-round quality to the audio setup. Background noise reduction helps to get clearer communication from the other end of the video chat. The purpose of the spatial audio feature is to have a more immersive conversation between several users without interference from their environments. It is possible to generate FaceTime links and share them with your friend who may have an iOS or Android device, meaning that FaceTime calls now have Android support.
The Apple Maps will get a revamped layout. More detailed maps in select cities would be available. Navigation will be seamless with 3D content and a solid experience.
Another addition is the Portrait Mode which will enable users to tinker with the view of their screen background. The SharePlay feature on FaceTime enables you to easily use and share content from one FaceTime user to another FaceTime user. It is also possible to enjoy audio content from several Apple platforms with a FaceTime call.
Apple has also made it easy for developers to add FaceTime support in their apps. Tik Tok, ESPN, NBA, and HBO Max are among several brands that have now interfaced FaceTime into their processes. With the innovations Apple had included on FaceTime, we expect greater use of the app on iOS.
Notifications have also been enhanced, with a Notification Summary present. Unlike a long string of items, the new Notification summary shows a single tile.
Update: The Realme C25s has 13MP triple cameras and not 48MP triple cameras as earlier reported. The article has been corrected to reflect the right specification.

The next M-series phone from Samsung could be the Galaxy M32. A support page of the phone recently went live on Samsung India’s website. Now, it has received approval from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), which indicates that it may launch as early as this month.
The Galaxy M32 has been spotted with its SM-M325F model number in the database of FCC. The listing shows that the handset will arrive with support for 15W rapid charging. Unfortunately, the listing has no other information on its specifications.

In the recent past, the handset has received approval from other certification sites such as Wi-Fi Alliance, Bluetooth SIG, DEKRA, and the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). In April, it was spotted with specs like the Helio G80 chipset, 6 GB of RAM, and Android 11 OS. The DEKRA certification revealed that the phone could be coming with a 6,000mAh battery. Speculations are rife that the Galaxy M32 could be based on the Galaxy A32 handset, which was announced earlier this month.

Samsung Galaxy A32 4G
The Galaxy A32 has a 6.4-inch S-AMOLED display that offers an FHD+ resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate. It has a front camera of 20-megapixel, and its rear shell has a 64-megapixel + 8-megapixel + 5-megapixel + 5-megapixel quad-camera system. The Helio G80 powered handset offers up to 8 GB of RAM, up to 128 GB of storage, and a microSD card slot. Its other features include an under-display fingerprint scanner and a 5,000mAh battery with 15W charging.
Chinese tech giant Xiaomi has launched a smart cooking machine under crowdfunding on the Youpin platform. The product’s name translates as Solista Smart Cooking Machine CJ01 and is a sub-brand of Chinese company Joyoung Group known for manufacturing household and industrial appliances.
Joyoung’s Solista Smart Cooking Machine CJ01 comes in a compact size but has a large volume of 3 liters. The pot is big enough to cook meals for 3 to 4 persons at a time. In terms of usability, the smart cooking device comes with four common cooking modes, which include stir-frying, braised, frying, and steaming. These modes can take care of most of the meals people cook.
The Solista Smart Cooking Machine CJ01 is also easy to operate as the mode can be set via the handle. All the user has to do is to add all the ingredients, as well as the seasonings, and then close the lid before selecting the cooking mode at the handle of the pot. The cooking time is preset with the different modes.
Further, the Smart Cooking Machine can be controlled directly via the MIJIA app where the user can set customize the cooking time as desired and the intensity of the heat. The app also gives users access to hundreds of recipes.
As stated earlier, the Solista Smart Cooking Machine CJ01 is presently available on the Xiaomi Youpin website for just 499 yuan (~$78). The product is expected to start shipping before July 21.
The Chinese electronics giant, TCL, has opened a factory in Turkey, which has already begun mass production of its smart devices. The factory which is a joint project between TCL and Arçelik, plans to reach a production capacity of 1 million units by 2022.
The factory is borne from the outcome of the Turkish government’s high tariff on the importation of completely assembled mobile phones. The tariff has resulted in phones costing a lot more, which has led to slower sales for phone manufacturers. In order to increase sales, TCL partnered with Arçelik, a Turkish multinational appliances manufacturer that owns Beko and Grundig, to start a factory that assembles its products.
The TCL 20 SE is the first smartphone from the local factory.
It is reported that the factory currently has an annual production capacity of 450,000 units. However, that number is expected to more than double by next year. At the moment, the factory only churns out units based on Semi Knocked Down (SKD) kits but plans to import Completely Knocked Down (CKD) kits from China once the production line reaches maturity.
TCL began selling its own branded smartphones starting with the TCL 10 series last year. It has added new models this year with the TCL 20 series which is available in Europe and North America. These two markets are important for its success, so it makes sense as to why it has opened a factory in Europe.
When Google announced its streaming TV stick, the Chromecast with Google TV, it was expected that it will come bundled with Stadia, its game streaming service. To everyone’s disappointment, that was not the case. More than eight months later, it has now been announced that the service is coming, not only to Google’s dongle but to a handful of Android TV devices this month.
As reported by The Verge, Stadia will arrive on the Chromecast with Google TV on June 23. There are also some Android TV devices such as the Nvidia Shield TV, Walmart’s Onn streaming devices, some Philips and Hisense TVs, and two Mi Box models. Below is the full list:
Philips 8215, 8505, and OLED 935 / 805 Series Android TVs
Xiaomi Mi Box 3 and Mi Box 4 (Mi Box S)
It is surprising that the list is pretty short but according to the press release, these are the devices that are officially supported. Owners of other devices can opt into experimental support to play, though there is a chance it may not as smoothly as on officially supported devices. To play, a Bluetooth controller or the official Stadia Controller is required.
Google Stadia is a game streaming service that allows users to play games instantly including AAA titles over an internet connection without the need for a console or a gaming PC and without needing to download the game. The service is already available on Android, PCs, and iOS devices.
Xiaomi’s subbrand – Redmi is keen on launching new smartphones accompanying major advancements over the last year’s smartphones. The company recently launched the Redmi Note 10S Global featuring the MediaTek G95 chipset, 5000 mAh battery, and 64MP quad rear camera. It is now on sale and the Giztop is offering a $50 discount while using coupon code RN10S50 on the checkout page. The smartphone is available for the actual discount price of $179 via Giztop.
The interested users can grab the mid-range smartphone at a discount price. However, the smartphone sports a MediaTek Helio G95 Soc coupled with an Octa-core processor and Mali-G76 MC4 GPU. It is available in three storage variants of 64GB + 6GB, 128GB + 6GB and 128GB + 8GB RAM. The smartphone is available in only Grey color.
Redmi Note 10S global edition comes with a 64MP primary sensor, an 8MP ultrawide sensor, and a 2MP macro, and another 2MP depth sensor. On the front, there’s a 13MP primary sensor for selfies and video calling. It is bundled with a 5000 mAh battery with a 33W battery.
It is an exciting offer to grab the device for the price of $179 via Giztop.
Samsung‘s next flagship smartphone is expected to be the Galaxy S22 which won’t hit the shelves until next year. However, the rumor mills have consistently been inundated with leaks concerning the Galaxy S21. The latest rumor comes from South Korea and alleges that the next-gen flagship will likely come without an under-display camera.
The present Galaxy S21 features a high-quality camera setup but the Galaxy S22 is tipped to come with some vital camera improvements. One such feature is a sensor-shift stabilization system as well as a continuous zoom periscope camera module. There were also rumors that the device will come with an under-display selfie camera. Going by this latest report from South Korea, that may not happen.
The report indicates that the Korean tech giant has decided against utilizing the under-display camera system on the Galaxy S22 series. The report hinted that the image quality of the UD camera is unsatisfactory to Samsung. In addition, the product yield is still very low and won’t be able to meet up the requirements for millions of Galaxy S22 production units which will debut last year.
In essence, the company is still working on improving the camera quality as well as the yield rate. The under-display camera is expected to debut on the Galaxy Note series in H2 2022.
The Samsung Galaxy S22 has earlier been tipped to come with a primary camera co-engineered with Olympus. The camera will also have a sensor-shift stabilization system and a continuous zoom periscope camera. The flagship will be powered by an Exynos 2200 processor in some markets as well as Qualcomm Snapdragon 895 in other markets.
Doogee, often abbreviated as DG is one of the major rugged smartphone manufacturers in the world. The company is known to launch devices with unique features. The company is preparing to launch a new 5G smartphone within the next few days. Doogee S97 Pro is set to launch soon with a native Laser Rangefinder. In fact, the smartphone would be the first to launch with such a sensor.
Doogee S97 Pro will feature a 6.39-inch display with a resolution of 720 x 1560 pixels. The display is protected with the Corning Gorilla Glass. Under the hood, the smartphone equips Helio G95 (12nm) chipset coupled with an octa-core processor and Mali-G76 MC4 GPU.
Its powerful hardware is well optimized with the intuitive GUI. Additionally, Doogee S97 Pro will come with a low power-intensive 8GB DDR4 RAM and 128GB UFS storage. The smartphone is MIL-STD-810G, IP68 and IP67 certified with dust, drop, and water resistance.
In the camera department, the Doogee S97 Pro carries a quad rear camera indulging a Samsung’s 48MP AI sensor, an 8MP ultrawide lens, and a couple of 2MP shooters to measure the macro aspect and the temperature of the picture. On the other side, there’s a 16MP front camera to serve for selfies and video calls.
Talking about the feature that separates Doogee S97 Pro from other smartphones is Laser Rangefinder. A laser Rangefinder is used to monitor or measure distances or object lengths. Along with the professional setting, the feature also has some domestic uses like measuring a particular area to set furniture and so on.
The massive 8,500 mAh battery serves as a cherry on the cake for the Doogee S97 Pro. It supports 33W fast charging and will take less than 3 hours to get fully charged, as claimed by the company. Furthermore, the battery can last for 2-3 days of normal use and for 26 days on standby mode.
Availability and Pricing
Doogee S97 Pro will be up for grabs on June 21st via AliExpress and Banggood for the price of 282.14$, whereas it is supposed to cost between 291.55$ and 324.47$ with all the accessories combined.
Interestingly, Doogee mentions a special discount i.e; till a week after launch, the phone will be tagged with a price of $199. But of course, there’s a limitation that the offer applies only to the first 300 purchases. The company is offering the new device for free via a giveaway and the interested users can enter here. For more information, the users can head over to the Doogee official website.
OnePlus has a couple of mid-range phones launching this summer. We already know the OnePlus Nord CE 5G is one of them which is scheduled to arrive this week, on June 10 to be specific. Another model in the Nord line confirmed to be on the way and specifically for the North American market is the OnePlus Nord N200 5G, and now we get a first look at the device along with some key specs.
CEO of OnePlus, Pete Lau, revealed the details of the new Nord phone in an interview with PCMagand he is quoted to have said that the OnePlus Nord N200 5G will be its “most affordable 5G device ever”.
The OnePlus Nord N200 5G will have a 6.49-inch 1080p LCD display with a punch hole at the top left corner and a 90Hz refresh rate. This is an upgrade from the 720p panel of the Nord N100.
With respect to the phone’s design, the display has curved corners and the lower bezel is noticeably thicker than the sides and forehead. The OnePlus Nord N200 5G has three cameras but the sensors and the camera housing are larger. There is also no fingerprint scanner on the back o the phone. Instead, OnePlus has settled for a side-mounted one.
The render shows the phone in a blueish-gray colorway but it is too early to say if this will be the only colorway available. The Nord N100 was announced in one color variant called Midnight Frost. We hope, buyers will get more color options to choose from this time around.
[Exclusive] In all likelihood, OnePlus will launch its OnePlus Nord N200 on June 15. Feel free to retweet.#OnePlus#OnePlusNordN200
In related news, Indian YouTuber and leaker, Mukul Sharma, revealed in a tweet today that the OnePlus Nord N200 5G may likely launch on June 15, less than a week after the Nord CE 5G is announced in India and Europe.

The Honor 50 will have a centered punch hole as seen in the render below shared on Weibo by Digital Chat Station. The second image is of the Honor 50 Pro and its own punch hole is not only larger as a result of being home to two cameras but is positioned at the top left corner of the screen just like that of the Honor V40.
At the moment, we do not know if the second front-facing camera is an ultrawide angle camera or a color temperature sensor like that of the Honor V40

Samsung has started pushing a new software update for the flagship Galaxy S10 series and the mid-range Galaxy A52 4G. The June 2021 Android security patch includes software updates from Samsung for the Galaxy A52 4G and the Galaxy S10 series. The Galaxy A52’s update comes with version number A525FXXS2AUE2. It is now accessible from the Caucasus region and Ukraine, while the builds for the Galaxy S10 series (S10e, S10, and S10+) have firmware version G97xFXXSBFUE6 and are already accessible from Poland.
The Samsung Galaxy A52 4G was released in March 2021. It is a mid-ranger with a 64 MP primary camera, a 6.5-inch display screen, and RAM between 4GB and 8GB. The display features a Super AMOLED, with a 90Hz refresh rate. The Galaxy A52 4G should not be confused with the flagship A52 5G, which has 5G support. The device is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5, with IP67 water and dustproof capacity. The A52 comes with the Android 11 operating system, One UI 3.1, Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G chipset, and Adreno 618 GPU.
Samsung Galaxy A52
The Samsung Galaxy S10 series features a generally smaller screen than the A52 and is less expensive. Most of the S10 models had Android version 9.0 out of the box but are upgradable to Android 11. They also feature a less powerful camera setup than the A52 and a few other features.
If you live in any of the stated regions and you’re yet to get the prompt for an update, you can easily download the security patch manually via your phone’s Settings.
The 10th generation of the Redmi Note series, the king of budget phones, was released 6 months ago. But today, we are looking at the Pro model from China, the Redmi Note 10 Pro. We’ll see how it differs from the Note 9 Pro and what all features have been upgraded or downgraded.
Note that the Redmi Note 10 Pro’s Chinese variant that we have in our hands and the Global variant are two completely different phones. They just share the same name but the features are quite different.
Redmi Note 10 Pro Review: Design
Unlike the Redmi Note 9 Pro, the Note 10 Pro does not bring significant changes in appearance. The metal ring design of the camera and the three-dimensional raster process of the back cover are designs that Xiaomi’s flagship phones have used before. So the first time you see the Redmi Note10 Pro, it doesn’t give the impression of a budget $250 smartphone.
Visually it looks more eye-catching than the Note 9 Pro, but the back cover material has been changed from glass to plastic. So it doesn’t feel as premium as you’d expect. The dual speakers, NFC, and IR blaster are also present, and the fingerprint recognition is also the same as the K40 series without the recessed design, which looks like an ordinary power button. Overall, I’m quite satisfied with the design of the Note 10 Pro, while the plastic back cover and frame also enable a lightweight body with a weight less than 200g. If you don’t have a particular color preference, we recommend buying the white version, which has a three-dimensional raster process and is not as easy to get oil stains as our cyan one.
Redmi Note 10 Pro Review: Display
The Redmi Note 10 Pro’s screen has a few little surprises this time around. This 1080p 120Hz LCD screen is equipped with the same screen display technology as the Mi 10T Pro — AdaptiveSync, which intelligently matches the displayed media frame rate to change the screen refresh rate for a power-saving effect. The screen protection glass used is the latest Corning Gorilla Victus.
This glass is generally reserved only for the best flagship phones. The usual issue of dark edges on an LCD screen is not very serious on the Note 10 Pro either. In addition to the edge of the screen being not very smooth, this screen is considered excellent in its price range.
Redmi Note 10 Pro Review: Hardware & Gaming
Because of the global chip shortage, many low-end and mid-range phones have started using MediaTek chips to ensure sufficient supply, and the Note 10 Pro is no exception. It uses Dimensity 1100 and the main difference compared to Dimensity 1200 is that the large core is clocked down, so the transient output will be weaker.
You can also see this through the various Benchmarks. On Antutu the phone scores 661116, in 3D Mark 3981, in GFXBench OpenGL around 1777, and in 1080P Manhattan 3.1 Offscreen around 4652. These scores are a bit worse than Dimensity 1200 in the Redmi K40 Gaming Edition. Redmi has enhanced the cooling system and equipped the Note 10 Pro with an X-axis linear motor to make the gaming experience better. PUBG HDR Graphics can only run at a maximum frame rate of 40fps. No 90fps frame rate support. PUBG can run at close to full frame rate without a problem, but Genshin Impact and Brightridge reveal the real problem.
Genshin Impact is not only locked to a maximum frame rate cap of 50fps, but it is also not able to sustain 50fps. After nine minutes of downclocking, the frame rate locks between 30fps and 40fps.
The same problem was found in Brightridge, though it had a bit more fluctuation than Genshin Impact. Thankfully because of its plastic body and the fact that the performance output was not as powerful, the temperature did not exceed 50°C throughout the gaming period. Truth be told, this kind of gaming performance is already excellent for a $250 phone. If you want to play games, as long as you are willing to lower some of the Graphics quality, I believe it can provide a good gaming experience.
Redmi Note 10 Pro Review: Camera
The Note 10 Pro’s triple camera system features a 64MP main camera, an 8MP ultra-wide lens, and a 2MP macro lens. This camera system is almost identical to the K40 Gaming Edition except for the glass-plastic hybrid lens and aperture. The photos they take are also almost identical. You can hardly notice the difference between them, maybe sometimes the K40 Gaming Edition has a higher dynamic range, but most of the time it’s hard to notice.
So I’ll just conclude: the main camera is average for its price range, and the highlight control is excellent at night with night mode on.
The ultra-wide lens is also average, and the image quality is poor when the light is low. The macro lens is of little use, you can get similar results with the main camera crop, but this camera is almost unusable when the light is low. There is no doubt that its camera quality is a downgrade when compared to the Note 9 Pro, so if you like to take photos, you might have to rethink buying this model.

The video part is the same as the K40 Gaming Edition, with the main camera supporting up to 4K 30fps and the ultra-wide lens supporting up to 1080P 30fps. You can also see from the video how the image quality performs. If you want a phone with excellent video, just don’t buy a MediaTek chip phone.
JBL’s tuning is also present on the Note 10 Pro this time. You can hear the difference with the K40 Gaming Edition for yourselves.
Redmi Note 10 Pro Review: Charging & Battery Life
A 67w charging head is included in the box. That’s right, the Note 10 Pro supports up to 67w of charging power this time, the same charging power as the K40 Gaming Edition. The charging speed is also similar, topping up to 35% in just 10 minutes, 79% in 30 minutes, and taking 44 minutes for a full charge. Battery capacity has been increased from 4820mAh in Note 9 Pro to 5000mAh. Half an hour of Tiktok and half an hour of 1080P video playback consume 6% each, PUBG uses up 7%, Genshin Impact around 12%, and Brightridge around 11%. It seems that Dimensity 1100 is indeed a more power-efficient chip.
I’m sure you’re wondering if the Redmi Note 10 Pro supports Google Mobile Services, but unfortunately, the latest version doesn’t yet. However, the K40 Gaming Edition has already got perfect support for Google Mobile Service in the latest version of MIUI, so I believe Redmi will also allow the Note 10 Pro to use Google Mobile Service in the near future. So those who like the Note 10 Pro, you can wait for a while.
Redmi Note 10 Pro Review: Verdict
The Redmi Note 10 Pro is mainly upgraded in terms of appearance, screen, performance, and charging power, while the camera system has been downgraded. But the price remains the same. I think Note 9 Pro and Note 10 Pro are more like different choices at the same price point, those who want performance and faster charging, go for the Note 10 Pro, while those who want better photos and video choose the Note 9 Pro.

The Meizu 18 comes in three color variants – Light Blue, White, and Aurora. However, like most phones, you can’t tell which color is which when looking at them from the front view, as all three have the same curved display with black bezels. Now, Meizu has announced a limited edition display with white bezels.
We don’t know why anyone will want to change their phone’s display just because of the color of the bezels, though those who have the white version may want the front to match with the rear. Nevertheless, if you are one of those tired of phones with black bezels, then you are probably excited about this news.
Save for the bezels that are white, the display is the same. So you get a 6.2-inch Super AMOLED panel with a 3200 x 1440 resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, and a punch hole in the center.
Meizu has made just 88 pieces of this white bezel display, so good luck grabbing one. The price tag is ¥1033 which converts to about $160 and it is expected to go on sale tomorrow.
The Meizu 18 is powered by the Snapdragon 888 processor, up to 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM, and up to 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage. There is a 64MP main camera on the back of the device along with an 8MP telephoto camera, and a 16MP ultrawide angle camera. For the front-facing camera, you get a 20MP sensor.
Other features of the flagship are an in-display fingerprint scanner, stereo speakers, NFC, Bluetooth 5.2, Wi-Fi 6E, and a 4000mAh battery with support for 36W fast charging and Power Delivery 3.0. The Meizu 18 runs Flyme 9 based on Android 11.
Xiaomi has launched a new charger in China called Mi GaN Charger 65W 1A1C. As the name suggests, the power adapter uses Gallium Nitride (GaN) instead of silicon. Thus, it is smaller in size when compared to regular 65W chargers. Let’s take a look at its entire specs, features, price, availability, and the meaning of ‘1A1C’ in its name.
Xiaomi Mi GaN Charger 65W 1A1C Specifications and Features
The newly released Xiaomi Mi GaN Charger 65W 1A1C is a new version of the original Mi GaN Charger 65W from last year. Therefore, their model numbers only differ by a single digit. The former bears the model number AD652G, whereas the latter is identified as AD65G.
In fact, both of them have an identical price tag. The only major difference between the two is the number of ports. The older model has a single USB Type-C port. On the other hand, the new model comes with two ports – USB Type-A and USB Type-C. Hence, its name includes the tag ‘1A1C.

The charger supports the USB PD (Power Delivery) standard. So it can be used to charge a wide variety of products, including smartphones, laptops, tablets, handheld gaming consoles, and accessories from various brands.
The USB Type-A port can only support up to 18W. However, the USB Type-C port maxes at 65W. When both the ports are in use, the output rate of the Type-C port drops to 45W, but the Type-A port continues to provide 18W.

Xiaomi Mi GaN Charger 65W 1A1C Price and Availability
The Xiaomi Mi GaN Charger 65W 1A1C is priced at ¥149 ($23) in China. It is already up for sale on Xiaomi’s official website. The price of this charger is exactly the same as that of the original Mi GaN Charger 65W from last year.
As of now, there’s no official word from the company regarding the availability of this product outside mainland China. But we can expect Xiaomi to release it in select global markets like the original model.
