Vivo’s sub-brand for premium smartphones — iQOO has been launching interesting devices in the market and it recently launched its flagship smartphone iQOO 7 and iQOO 7 Legend in the Indian market.

Now, the company is gearing up to launch another device in the Indian market, this time in the Z-series. A tweet from Mukul Sharma reveals that the iQOO Z3 with model number V2073A has been registered on the Indian IMEI database.

This new development indicates that the official launch of the smartphone in India could happen pretty soon. Earlier, the smartphone’s moniker appeared on the IMEI database for the Indian market.

For those who are unaware, the iQOO Z3 5G smartphone was launched in China in March of this year. It features a 6.58-inch FHD+ LCD waterdrop display with a 120Hz refresh rate and 180Hz touch sampling rate.

Apple Watch Series 7 to reportedly get support for blood sugar monitoring

May 3, 2021

Apple Watch is one of the most popular smartwatches out there and the company has been adding several health-related features to the device. Some of them have been proved to be life-saving for many, especially the electrocardiogram (ECG).

Now, it is being reported that the upcoming version of the device, Apple Watch Series 7 is likely to get another major health-related feature — Blood sugar monitoring. This will be very important for users who are diabetics. As per the report from The Telegraph, an SEC filing hints that Apple will add a glucometer feature to the Apple Watch in 2022.

The feature will come in handy for users who need to get a reading on their blood sugar before each insulin injection since the amount of sugar found in their blood determines the dosage of each shot. Currently, checking the blood sugar level is a bit complex. The user has to draw blood for each test, dab it onto a test strip which is then inserted into a glucometer to obtain a reading.

The current process is a bit painful and costly but if Apple could come up with a solution that can offer blood sugar readings without the need to draw blood or buy new test trips, it could prove to be a major boost to the device’s sales.

The report reveals Apple as the largest customer of Rockley Photonics which has developed next-generation sensors that are expected to be inside devices by next year. Its sensors can read certain signals from a person’s blood by shining infrared light through the skin from the back of a smartwatch.

This also hints that besides glucometer, the company could be looking to add other sensors on the upcoming smartwatch to measure the user’s alcohol level and blood pressure but as of now, nothing has been confirmed by the US-based tech giant.

So far, Apple is offering electrocardiogram (ECG) and blood oxygen level (SpO2) monitoring on its smartwatches. So, it will be great to see support for glucometer on the wearable device in the next edition.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 was an overhaul upgrade over the original Galaxy Fold as it came with better specs, a notch-less display, and a bigger cover screen. A fresh leak reveals that the Galaxy Z Fold3 will also be a major upgrade over the Galaxy Z Fold2.

Right off the bat, the Galaxy Z Fol3 can be sporting a new rear camera design, which is different from the Contour Cut camera module found on the Galaxy S21 series. The leaked images show that it has a vertical camera island with three cameras and an LED flash in it.

Multiple reports have claimed that the Galaxy Z Fold3 will carry support for the S Pen stylus. The new leak suggests that the Z Fold3 users will be able to write notes using the S Pen during a video call.

While reports have claimed that the foldable phone will have a dedicated slot for adding an S Pen, it is yet to be confirmed whether the stylus will be sold separately or stored inside the device. The S Pen does not seem to feature a fine tip, which will ensure that the user does not damage the foldable screen while using it.

The Galaxy Z Fold3 is expected to arrive as the world’s first foldable phone with an under-display camera. This will allow the Z Fold3 to offer a higher screen-to-body ratio than the predecessor models. The device is expected to come with Gorilla Glass Victus protection on the outside.

The addition of new features like an in-screen camera and S Pen stylus may result in the Galaxy Z Fold3 arriving with an expensive price tag. Samsung is yet to confirm the arrival of the Z Fold3.

Vivo Y52s gets a Snapdragon 480 5G version; Dimensity 720 edition now comes in a 256GB configuration

May 2, 2021

It is not unusual for a phone to be available in two different chipset versions. Samsung has been offering its flagship phones in Exynos and Snapdragon variants for years. However, this tradition is not common among other manufacturers, which is why when it happens, it is notable. Vivo has decided to jump on this trend with its budget mid-range 5G phone, the Vivo Y52s.

The Vivo Y52s was launched in December 2020 and it had a MediaTek Dimensity 720 processor under its hood. The manufacturer has now quietly announced a new version of the phone with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 480 5G processor.

Officially called the Vivo Y52s (t1 edition), the phone has the same specifications as the one that launched back in December save for the MediaTek processor that has now been replaced with a Qualcomm one.

The Vivo Y52s (t1 edition) is priced at ¥1999 (~$309) and has 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. There is also an 8GB RAM + 128GB version but it is not available for purchase yet and its price is not known.

The Dimensity 720 version which was launched in 6GB and 8GB RAM variants with 128GB of storage is now available in a new 8GB RAM + 256GB version for the same price mentioned above.

The two versions of the phone have a 6.58-inch LCD display with a waterdrop notch, a 90Hz refresh rate, and a 180Hz touch sampling rate. The display has a DCI-P3 color gamut and is HDR10 certified.

On the back of the Vivo Y52s is a 48MP main camera paired with a 2MP depth sensor. The selfie camera is an 8MP camera and it has a night mode like the rear. The phone has a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, an audio jack, and a 5000mAh battery that supports 18W fast charging. Both phones are available in Coral Sea, Monet, and Titanium Gray, however, the Coral Sea variant of the Snapdragon version is not yet in stock. You can grab the phone on Jingdong.

OPPO may announce the Reno6 series at its mid-year gala on May 22

May 2, 2021

It has been more than four months since OPPO unveiled the Reno5 series in China. News of a successor, the Reno6 series, has been circulating since March, and now there is a chance the new phones will be announced this month.

According to a report from China, OPPO will hold a mid-year gala on May 22. The event will have lots of celebrities in attendance and there are speculations that the event will double as the launch date of the Reno6 series.

It turns out that OPPO has used this mid-year event to announce some of its phones in the past. The OPPO R15 was announced at the 2018 edition gala while the first-gen Reno series made its debut at the 2019 gala. So it is not far-fetched to presume the Reno6 to be announced at this year’s event.

There are three models expected to launch – the Reno6 which will have a Dimensity 1200 chipset and a 90Hz display, the Reno6 Pro with a Snapdragon 870 processor and a 90Hz display, and the Reno6 Pro+ powered by a Snapdragon 888 processor and with a 120Hz refresh rate. All three phones have been reported to have a 4500mAh battery capacity with support for 65W fast wired charging and support for 30W wireless fast charging.

The Reno6 series will most likely launch outside China much later considering the Reno5 series just made its way to some markets.

Lenovo recently held the YOGA x Xiaoxin spring product launch event in China where a series of products were released. Apart from the array of notebooks that made their entry, the company also announced a number of accessories. One of them is the YOGA CC65 Dual Port GaN Charger. Lenovo has now silently unveiled a higher model dubbed the YOGA CC130 charger.

The Lenovo YOGA CC130 uses a design similar to the YOGA CC65. However, the maximum output power on this model peaks at 130W, twice that of the YOGA CC65. The charging adapter comes in black and white colors.

The YOGA CC130 charger is equipped with two USB-C ports of which a single port outputs a maximum power of 100W. On the other hand, the charger outputs a cumulative power of 130W when the two ports are in use. This makes it suitable for charging mobile phones and laptops at the same time.

For reference, the YOGA CC65 charger also features a dual USB-C interface design. The YOGA CC65 charger is equipped with two USB-C ports. The first port supports a maximum output of 18W while the second USB-C port supports a maximum output of 65W. Thus, the dual ports simultaneously use a maximum of 18W+45W.

The YOGA CC65 charger adopts the GaN fast charging technology, which brings lower power conversion loss and temperature control level. The charger also has a volume of 0.075L and a weight of 103g. This 130W model equally adopts GaN technology.

Lenovo is yet to release the price and availability details of the YOGA CC130. However, we expect the model to be affordable. The YOGA CC65 carries a 119 yuan (~$18) price tag. So, this model won’t be too expensive. We’ll keep you posted when the price and availability details are made public.

May 2, 2021

Xiaomi is finally releasing the Mi 11 Ultra European version after its initial unveiling in March this year. The Mi 11 Ultra is Xiaomi’s first flagship offering to the international market and customers in Europe may now have a feel of the impressive features of the smartphone in ten days’ time, that is, May 11.

Xiaomi had previously produced the Mi Ultra series for its Chinese market but the Mi 11 Ultra is taking a different path from its predecessor, the Mi 10 Ultra which was a China-only product. Xiaomi’s official Facebook page for its Dutch market has announced that the Mi 11 Ultra will be officially available on May 11. Although none of the other official Xiaomi European channels have made any announcement relating to the Europe launch, we would expect that if indeed the Dutch launch is slated for May 11, the others would not be far off.

As a reminder, the Mi 11 Ultra features an imposing camera system, reputed to have the largest sensor for a modern smartphone. The phone equally packs an impressive 6.81-inch AMOLED display with a high refresh rate and high resolution, added to a Snapdragon 888 5G chipset which is as powerful as it can get.

The Mi 11 Ultra arrives in two RAM options of 8GB and 12GB in combination with 256GB and 512GB of internal storage. The premium model runs on Android 11-based MIUI 12. Further, the phone gets its power from a 5000mAh battery capable of 67W ultra-fast charging, reverse wireless charging at 10W, and other exciting features. The premium model also comes with dust and water protection with its IP68 rating.

The Mi 11 Ultra had earlier been officially announced with a starting price of €1,199 in Europe.

Exclusive: Case renders show Huawei P50’s unique rear design, expected to launch in June

By

May 2, 2021

The highly anticipated Huawei P50 series is expected to launch next month. The latest in Huawei’s popular P-series of smartphones has had its launch delayed due to multiple reasons, chief of them being supply chain issues. While we wait for an official release date, we have got our hands on alleged renders of the Huawei P50 that were provided to us by a case manufacturer.

These renders show us that the Huawei P50 will be going for a new look entirely different from that of its predecessor, the Huawei P40, and even the Mate 40 that launched last year. The design matches what we have seen from earlier leaks such as the CAD renders that were released by OnLeaks back in March.

As shown in the images, the Huawei P50 will have four rear cameras. Three of the sensors along with the laser focus module are housed inside the top circle while a single periscope zoom lens sits inside the second circle. There is a LEICA logo and an LED flash inside the oversized pill-shaped camera housing.

1 of 3

The display of the Huawei P50 has a centered punch hole and is curved in these renders, although Onleaks said in his own leak that the screen is flat. Since we are yet to see the device itself, we advise our users to take this leak with a pinch of salt.

In a related story, a Chinese leaker that goes by “Bad Review” on Weibo also shared images of what appears to be dummy/prototype units of the Huawei P50. While the camera housing design is similar to the case renders above, the sensors are arranged differently with each circle housing two camera sensors – there is no laser focus module. We are not sure if these images are genuine too, so take this leak with a pinch of salt too.

According to the leaker, both the Huawei P50 and Huawei P50 Pro already in mass production but the Huawei P50 Pro+ may be delayed further.

The popular Huawei leaker that goes by @RODENT950 on Twitter revealed yesterday that the P50 series will be announced later in June. Before that launch, it will have two launch events – the first will be on May 19 where it will unveil new monitors, a new smart scale, and a children’s smartwatch. The second launch event will hold on June 2 for the Watch GT 3 series, MatePad Pro 2, and Sound X2 smart speaker.

Huawei Mate X2 Durability test performance is super impressive for a foldable phone

By

-

May 2, 2021

Huawei may be experiencing some difficulty in its smartphone arm but apparently, the company has not lost its Midas touch. The Chinese tech giant recently released the Mate X2 foldable smartphone, a successor to the first-gen Mate X foldable which was released in 2019. The Mate X2 has now been subjected to JerryRigEverything’s durability test.

The test shows the device being subjected to the scratch, burn and bend tests and since foldable phones are known for their fragility, it would interest you to know that the Mate X2 was able to withstand some of the torturous processes.

During the scratch test, the outward display is confirmed to have a tempered glass covering as it scratches at level 6 with deeper grooves at level 7 on the Mohs hardness scale. The inner display which is the flexible panel isn’t so lucky. It scratches at level 2 while deeper grooves start appearing at level 3. The fingernails can even make deep grooves on the fragile display panel.

It is usually rare to find a device that the display panel survives JerryRigEverythings’ burn test. The Mate X2 isn’t different but the outer display performs a lot better than the inner panel.

The bend test is what should interest you the most as it shows Huawei has finally gotten the build quality right. The YouTuber applied extreme pressure in bending the device backward and it didn’t snap. It is surprising that the Mate X2 has a better durability outlook than some flagship gaming phones like the Lenovo Legion 2 gaming phone that snapped into two under light pressure. He even applied sand on the crease area of the screen but it turned out that the phone is dustproof.

You can check out the YouTube video from above.

Huawei P50 dummy photos showcase the front and rear designs

May 2, 2021

A tipster has revealed a whole lot about Huawei’s yet-to-be-released flagship model, the Huawei P50. The leak displayed design and specification details of the high-end and much-awaited model, with a few photos of the prototype of the smartphone which is billed for release in June this year.

Popular tipster Digital Chat Station sharing some stunning details and prototype photos of what he insisted was the Huawei P50 series. The details included the design, camera setup, operating system, and a few other features of the model. A follow-up analysis by the concept creator @HoiINDI provided a set of seemingly compelling renders for what he claims are Huawei P50, P50 Pro, and P50 Plus smartphones.

Some earlier leaks relating to the P50 had shown that the flagship smartphone from Huawei will be powered by a Kirin 9000 chipset, a 6.3-inch display, powerful battery life, and fast charging capabilities.

We expect the P50 to be the base model in the P50 series and the details released by the tipster offer a bird’s eye view of what we could expect when Huawei finally unveils the P50 in a few weeks hopefully. The leak reveals that the device will run on Huawei’s homegrown operating system the HarmonyOS, which should be expected, given the problems Huawei had faced in the past year over the US restriction of its access to key suppliers. The P50 prototype photos also reveal a quad-camera system, with a center hole punch display design and a cylindrical camera module. The camera system is equipped with LED flash technology.

There were no details about the price of the Huawei P50 and a few other details and specifications are still lacking. It remains to be seen whether the leaked photos and render details are truly the much-awaited P50. The coming weeks will reveal the authenticity of the leaked details relating to the Huawei P50.
