The OnePlus Watch is the brand’s first and the only smartwatch. It was announced alongside the OnePlus 9 series in late March. The wearable comes in two colors (Midnight Black, Moonlight Silver). But recently, the company launched a Cobalt Limited Edition in China. It is also expected to release a Harry Potter Limited Edition. But ahead of the latter’s announcement, OnePlus has officially revealed to launch the OnePlus Watch Cyberpunk 2077 Limited Edition in its home country on May 24.

1 of 2

We know the existence of the OnePlus Watch Cyberpunk 2077 Limited Edition since November 2020. In a different timeline, this version of the wearable would have debuted alongside the OnePlus 8T Cyberpunk 2077 Limited Edition. Because the watch was supposed to launch alongside the OnePlus 8T in October.

This special edition was thought to be canceled but it is not the case. OnePlus has confirmed to launch the OnePlus Watch Cyberpunk 2077 Limited Edition in China on May 24. The wearable will be available for pre-order starting at 8 PM (local time) on the announcement day itself.

1 of 3

This version of the OnePlus Watch will have Yellow accents and a ‘Cyberpunk’ branding on its strap. It will be also coming with the game-inspired watch faces, theme, and bootanimation. Apart from these, we expect it to come with the exact same set of features as the regular model.

Unfortunately, we are not sure whether this special variant will be made available in global markets. That’s because the OnePlus 8T Cyberpubk 2077 Limited Edition was exclusive to China, however, limited quantities (only 10) were sold in Malaysia via lucky draw.

Last month, a Nubia smartphone with NX666J model number appeared with full specifications at the TENAA certification site. Later, it got spotted at the Bluetooth SIG authority with RedMagic 6R moniker and Bluetooth 5.2 support. Earlier this month, it got approval from the 3C certification.

The TENAA appearance of the RedMagic 6R has a 6.67-inch OLED panel that produces a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels. It is yet to be confirmed whether it supports a 120Hz or 144Hz refresh rate.

The Snapdragon 888 SoC is likely to power the device, and it will be arriving in RAM options like 6 GB, 8 GB, and 12 GB. It could be available in storage choices like 128 GB, 256 GB, and 512 GB.

Its rear camera setup has a 64-megapixel and for capturing selfies, it has a 16-megapixel front camera. For security, it features an in-display fingerprint scanner. The 4,100mAh battery is expected to arrive with 55W rapid charging support.

While the RedMagic 6R is packed with topnotch specs, its TENAA images show that it has a toned-down design as compared RedMagic 6 and 6 Pro handsets. Hence, it is likely that it could be positioned lower than the RedMagic 6, which starts at 3,799 Yuan (~$590).

Thailand Smartphone Market shows great potential with 18% YoY Growth in Q1 2021

May 21, 2021

The Thailand smartphone market has showcased a huge potential for growth after the region recorded a year on year growth of 18 percent in terms of shipments in the first quarter of this year.

According to a Counterpoint Research report, there were multiple factors that supplemented this growth. This included the pent up demand that was carried forward from the final quarter of last year, which paired with an aggressive scheme and offers from smartphone brands and their channel brands, especially in the online mediums. While the region is recovering from the impacts of the coronavirus pandemic from 2020, there is a healthy demand for smartphones by the consumers.

As per Senior Research Analyst Glen Cardoza, “The top six brands are aggressively trying to capture more market share but there are other brands at play as well. The declining volumes of Huawei and HONOR, and the upcoming Transsion brands like Infinix and TECNO are all variables that continue to add volatility to this strong smartphone market. Brands like Xiaomi and realme are trying hard to capitalize on their online prowess to improve their presence.”

Notably, the chip shortage has also affected this region as well, with shipments being behind and sales not taking advantage of the full potential of the market. Although, Thailand did see a 49 percent year on year surge in online sales in Q1 2021, with Chinese smartphone manufacturers taking the lead in this channel.

The Samsung Galaxy S21 FE is said to bear the model number SM-G990. This device has been now benchmarked by Geekbench. According to the listing, the handset will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 SoC coupled with 6GB RAM. As for software, it will run Android 11 (One UI 3.x).

Going by the new details, the Galaxy S21 FE will have the same amount of RAM as its predecessor Galaxy S20 FE. However, it will come with an updated chipset, just like its expensive siblings.

Also, it is interesting to learn that Samsung is opting for Snapdragon 888 instead of Snapdragon 870 in its affordable flagship smartphone. For those unaware, other Android OEMs are using the latter silicon in their budget flagship smartphones to cut costs.

That said, as of now, there’s said to be no 4G/LTE variant of the Galaxy S21 FE like Galaxy S20 FE. But we cannot rule out the possibility of an Exynos 2100 version. Because despite being 5G-only, the regular Galaxy S21 series models (Galaxy S21, Galaxy S21+, Galaxy S21 Ultra) are powered by the in-house Exynos 2100 in most markets.

Lastly, according to previous reports, the Galaxy S21 FE codenamed R9 will feature a 6.4-inch Infinity-O display (centered punch-hole), a 32MP selfie camera, and a 4,500mAh battery.

Similarly, the Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G also sold more than the lower variants of the series in the US and Europe. The flagship models also benefitted from the strong carrier promotions in these regions, which helped in raising sales.

The 27-inch Rear passenger screen can be activated with a simple voice command from rear-seat passengers inside the car. They can also make in-vehicle video conferencing from the comfort of their seats.

According to Hong Rao, an executive at Faraday Future, the company will deliver the latest and most advanced user-focused capabilities in the FF 91 EV when it becomes available. Furthermore, he noted that the voice control and video conferencing upgrades are a crucial part of Faraday Future’s third-internet living space experience.

Ultimately, with these features, it is believed that the users will truly benefit from the advanced technology being incorporated into FF vehicles.
