Samsung Galaxy Tab S7+ TUV Rheinland certification reveals 10,090mAh battery

Samsung may likely launch its next-gen flagship tablet during the August 5 event that is also projected to be the Galaxy Note 20, Galaxy Fold 2, Z Flip 5G and Watch series unveil event.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 has been tipped to also have a Galaxy Tab S7+ sibling and that has no been confirmed. The tablet has been certified by both TUV Rheinland and Safety Korea certifications. The TUV Rheinland certification shows the Galaxy Tab S7+ will pack a 9,800 mAh and having a typical charge of 10,090 mAh.

Before now, the difference between the Galaxy Tab S7 and S7+ is thought to be the sizes only but the battery capacity also differs. The Galaxy Tab S7 has earlier been leaked to feature a 7,760 mAh battery.

The Tab S7 is expected to pack an 11-inch OLED display which is notably slightly bigger than the Tab S6’s. On the other hand, the Galaxy Tab S7+ will pack a bugger 12.3 or 12.4 inches screen size. Both AMOLED displays are expected to offer up to 120Hz refresh rate and will be powered by a Snapdragon 865 chipset. The chipset will bring onboard 5G connectivity.

We expect to get the full details when the slate is officially launched.

Realme X3 with 12GB of RAM appears on GeekBench

Realme India CEO Madhav Sheth recently confirm the company was working on the Realme X3 which he referred to as the company’s next flagship. The model has been confirmed to launch alongside the Realme X3 Zoom on June 25.Realme X3

The Realme X3 has now been spotted on benchmark database GeekBench. The device appears with model number RMX2085 and it is listed to have a 12GB RAM onboard. Earlier, the X3 was rumoured to have an 8GB RAM onboard and we can assume there will be more than one RAM variants. However, the single and multi-core scores are not in the terrain of Snapdragon 865-powered models. The model posted a GeekBench 4 single-core score of 2307 and multi-core score of 8216.

The flagship variant is likely the Realme X3 Pro (RMX2121) which disappeared on TENAA and AnTuTu powered by a Snapdragon 865 SoC. The X3 will feature a Snapdragon 855+ chipset going by an earlier Google Play Console listing. This places it in the same terrain as the X3 Super Zoom also powered by SDM855+. The Play Console listing includes a display resolution of 1,080 x 2,400 pixels, 8GB RAM and Android 10 OS.

Xiaomi crowdfunds the Wanbo T2 Free Projector priced at 599 yuan (~$85)

Xiaomi has launched a new projector under the Youpin crowdfunding platform. Dubbed Wanbo T2 Free Projector, it carries an affordable price tag of 599 yuan (~$85).Wanbo T2 Free Projector

The Wanbo T2 Free Projector has a 150 ANSI lumen light source and is compatible with 1080 pixel resolution. The device can project on screen sizes ranging from 40 – 120 inches from a distance of 1.5-3.0 meters. The projector will need to be focused manually and the scrolling button to do that is located at the rear. It also supports ±40° vertical keystone correction.Wanbo T2 Free Projector

Projectors are known to be affected by dust especially when it settles on the lens, causing black spots on the screen and poor heat dissipation in the optical part.  The Wanbo T2 Free uses a fully enclosed internal circulation heat dissipation optical machine technology. The design can completely eliminate the impact of the buildup of dust on the optical path and thus extend the lifespan of the projector.Wanbo T2 Free Projector

In addition, the projector uses diffuse reflection technology. Compared with self-illumination imaging, diffuse reflection imaging is softer thus exerting less strain on the eyes when viewed for a long time.

The Wanbo T2 Free Projector is equipped with two 3W speakers located at the left and right side. There is also a turbo fan inside the projector that circulates the heat inside the machine and dissipates the heat of the LCD screen from the inside of the device. The two fans inside the fuselage guide the airflow from the rear radiator and chip processor Pass, thereby prolonging the life of the LED lamp. With good heat dissipation, the life of the LED bulb is up to 20,000 hours.

At the back, the projector features an HDMI, AV and other input interfaces which is convenient for connecting devices such as notebooks and TV boxes.

This is what the Realme C11 looks like

The Realme C11 is an upcoming budget smartphone from Realme. The phone is going to be the first to come with the yet-to-be-announced Helio G35 processor. It is also supposed to be the first Realme phone to feature a design different from what we have seen in past models.

Realme already released a few teaser images and one of them showed the back of the phone but with the camera area covered. An image has been posted on twitter by a user that goes by @i_am_myself7 that leaves nothing to the imagination and bares it all with respect to the phone’s appearance.

Realme C11

The image shows the Realme C11 will have a waterdrop notch like most of the other phones in the Realme C series (old habits die hard). The bezels are slim but the one at the bottom is thicker than the rest.

The back is where the big change is. Realme has ditched its practically overused design for the new and trendy square camera housing made popular by the Pixel 4 series. The camera housing holds two cameras whose specs are unknown and an LED flash. There is no fingerprint scanner on the device which means folks will have to make do with PIN, password, or pattern to keep their phone secure.

According to the poster, the Realme C11 will pack a 6.5” Mini-drop full-screen display, a massive 5000mAh battery, and Nightscape dual cameras. It is also shown to have an audio jack at the bottom.

The Realme C11 should launch soon in Malaysia and when it does, it will be available in grey and green.

Vivo X50 Pro+ vs OnePlus 8 Pro vs Oppo Find X2 Pro: Specs Comparison

This year, Vivo launched the first top-tier flagship of the X series: Vivo X50 Pro+. Now, the Chinese giant can compete with the most advanced handsets from other companies belonging to BBK Electronics. Indeed, if you are looking for the most advanced device released by a BBK Electronics subsidiary (not only in terms of performances but also cameras and other features), you have three main choices: Vivo X50 Pro+, OnePlus 8 Pro and Oppo Find X2 Pro. After reading this comparison, you will know the differences between these three handsets and, hopefully, you will be able to evaluate which device fits your needs the most.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES Dual SIM slot, reverse wireless charging 3W, IP68 waterproof Waterproof IP68, 5G Dual SIM slot, 5G

Design

The most amazing design belongs to the Oppo Find X2 Pro. It is made of unique materials if compared to other flagships released this year. It comes in two variants: one with a leather back and one with a ceramic body, instead of the usual glass + aluminum sandwich you can find on other flagships such as the OnePlus 8 Pro. Further, just like the OnePlus 8 Pro, the Oppo Find X2 Pro is waterproof with the IP68 certification, while Vivo X50 Pro+ does not have any protection against water and dust. Vivo X50 Pro+ has a leather variant as well, but due to its huge camera module, I prefer the Oppo Find X2 Pro. Note that the SIM tray of the Oppo Find X2 Pro houses just a single SIM card slot in the global market.

 

Display

Oppo Find X2 Pro and OnePlus 8 Pro have more or less the same display specifications, but in my opinion, the Oppo Find X2 Pro offers a slightly better image quality. On the other hand, OnePlus 8 Pro has a slightly wider panel with a 6.78-inch diagonal. There is no way Vivo X50 Pro+ can compete with its two rivals since it has a lower Full HD+ resolution, but it is a more compact device with its smaller diagonal.

 

Hardware/Software

With the Snapdragon 865 mobile platform, up to 12 GB of RAM and UFS 3.0 internal storage, you can get more or less the same hardware department with Vivo X50 Pro+, OnePlus 8 Pro and Oppo Find X2 Pro. So you should not worry so much about performances: all of them are powerful flagships with the best hardware you can get in 2020. What changes is the software: Vivo X50 Pro+ and Oppo Find X2 Pro run Funtouch OS and ColorOS with a more customized user interface, while OnePlus 8 Pro runs Oxygen OS which is closer to stock Android.

 

Camera

It is very hard to pick a winner of the camera comparison because these devices are able to click amazing photos in each environment and they have different pros in each scenario. The cameras which convinced me the most are the ones found Oppo Find X2 Pro, despite it has a lower amount of sensors on the rear side. It has amazing autofocus and a great 5x optical zoom. The silver medal goes to the Vivo X50 Pro+ with its quad camera including a periscope lens with 5x optical zoom and a portrait lens with 2x optical zoom. But it actually has a better stabilization and it is better for videos.

 

Battery

OnePlus 8 Pro has the biggest battery, but the Oppo Find X2 Pro is optimized very well and its battery is long-lasting like the OnePlus 8 Pro. But in a lot of scenarios, you should get a longer battery life with the Vivo X50 Pro+ because it has a lower display resolution (FHD+ instead of QHD+). Oppo Find X2 Pro has the fastest charging technology (65W), while OnePlus 8 Pro is the only one to support wireless charging.

 

Price

Vivo X50 Pro+ is priced €632/$706 and it is not sold globally. OnePlus 8 Pro starts from €919/$1027, while Oppo Find X2 Pro is priced €1199/$1340. While the Vivo X50 Pro+ makes you save a lot of money, the real winner of this comparison is the Oppo Find X2 Pro due to its premium waterproof design, faster charging, amazing cameras, and more. The OnePlus 8 Pro actually offers a very nice software and wireless charging (as well as a great display), but its cameras are not the best you can get in the market.

Mi TV Stick listed on AliExpress and Gearbest ahead of release; starts at $49

The Mi TV Stick is an upcoming streaming device from Xiaomi that runs Android TV. The device was shown at an event in Germany in May but is yet to be officially launched. Now, two major online retailers already have the product listed with a starting price of $49.

According to the listing on AliExpress, the Mi TV Stick will be available for $49. The seller says the item is on pre-sale and is expected to begin shipping from July 20 which is still a month away.

Xiaomi Mi TV Stick

The listing also includes an unboxing video of the product which confirms it is genuine. The Mi TV Stick comes in an orange box and the packaging confirms it only supports FHD. Inside the box are a power adapter, a USB cable, the Bluetooth remote, and the TV stick itself.

This version has 1GB of RAM and 8GB of storage and supports a maximum resolution of 1080p at 60 fps. Below are the full specs:

Mi TV Stick 1GB RAM Version

  • 1GB RAM
  • 8GB eMMC storage
  • 2.0GHz quad-core Cortex-A53 processor with Mali-450 GPU
  • Android TV 9.0
  • 1080p output
  • Bluetooth 4.2
  • Google Assistant
  • Bluetooth remote with Voice Assistant key and dedicated Netflix and Amazon Prime Video buttons
  • Support for Dolby Audio and DTS Surround Sound
  • Dual-Band Wi-Fi
  • Ports – HDMI (2.0a), MicroUSB port

The Gearbest listing is for the 4K version and is listed for $133 which is pretty expensive. Gearbest says the device will be shipped between June 29 and July 7. Below are the full specs from the page:

Mi TV Stick 2GB RAM 4K Version

  • 2GB RAM
  • 8GB ROM
  • Amlogic S905Y2 quad-core (Cortex-A53) processor with Mali-G31 MP2 GPU
  • Android TV 9.0
  • 4K output
  • Bluetooth 4.2Google Assistant
  • Bluetooth remote with Voice Assistant key and dedicated Netflix and Amazon Prime Video buttons
  • Support for Dolby Audio and DTS Surround Sound
  • Dual-Band Wi-Fi
  • Ports – HDMI (2.0a), USB Type-C port

As you can see the two devices differ with respect to core specs. Another interesting difference is the ports. The 4K version has a USB Type-C port but Xiaomi has gone with a MicroUSB port for the 1080p version.

The difference in shipping dates is also a thing to note. Gearbest says shipping will begin next week which means the device should launch this week. However, the 1GB RAM version will take a bit longer. Xiaomi has not said anything about the Mi TV Stick launching this week, so we advise you to take the info with a pinch a salt.

If you don’t mind waiting, you can make your order for the Mi TV Stick using the source links below.

Honor X10 Max live shot appears as rumored early July launch nears

Recent reports have revealed that Honor is gearing up for its next launch event for announcing new smartphones. Recently, a Chinese tipster had claimed that Honor’s next unveil event may take place on July 4 or July 5 in China. The same tipster took to Weibo today to share a live shot of the Honor X10 Max.

The side view of the alleged Honor X10 Max reveals that it has a very slim body. The left side of the device is almost barren as it only features a SIM card slot towards the top.

The major attraction of the Honor X10 Max is that it will be arriving with a massive display. The same tipster had previously revealed that it is equipped with a 7.09-inch display. It is unclear whether it is an LCD or OLED panel. It is speculated to arrive with support for DCI-P3 color gamut.

Honor X10 Max Live Shot

Some reports have claimed that the Honor X10 Max will be featuring a notch-less display and a pop-up selfie camera like the Honor X10 5G that went official last month. However, the leaked shot of the purported X10 Max seems to show that it has a teardrop notch on the screen.

Rumors have it that it could be driven by the Kirin 820 5G SoC that fuels that X10 5G. The big form factor of the phone suggests that it could be housing a 5,000mAh or larger battery. It is also expected to arrive with support for fast charging.

Speculations surrounding the Honor X10 series have revealed that the Chinese firm is also working on a handset called Honor X10 Pro 5G. It is expected to feature the same 6.63-inch notch-less display available on the X10 5G. It may feature an additional camera on its back. It is said that the launch date is yet to be finalized.

Mi Smart Mouse with speech recognition gets Bluetooth certification

Xiaomi has announced multiple mice and keyboards under its own Mi brand as well as that of companies under its ecosystem. Some of these products have even launched outside China such as the Mi Portable Wireless Mouse. The Chinese smartphone manufacturer is set to announce yet another mouse according to a recent Bluetooth SIG listing.

The Bluetooth SIG has certified a new Xiaomi mouse under the name Mi Smart Mouse. The description says the mouse, whose model number is stated as XASB01ME, has speech recognition, support for translation, and a 4000 DPI.

Mi Smart Mouse

A few months ago, Xiaomi released a keyboard with voice input support. We believe the mouse will use similar technology. The Mi Smart Mouse will connect via Bluetooth 5.0 but should also connect via Wi-Fi. We expect it to have a built-in rechargeable battery too.

We can’t say when the mouse will be announced but when it does launch, we will be sure to let you know.

 

Huawei Enjoy 20 Pro vs Redmi 10X Pro vs Honor X10: Specs Comparison

Huawei launched another 5G midrange phone in China: the Enjoy 20 Pro. A handset offering a dual-mode 5G modem at a very affordable price. But it is not the only affordable 5G phone out there. There are plenty of other interesting handsets offering complete support to fifth-generation networks. Among the latest ones sold at great prices, we got the Redmi 10X Pro and the Honor X10. Here is a comparison in which we highlighted the main differences between the specifications of Huawei Enjoy 20 Pro, Redmi 10X Pro, and Honor X10 in order to let you know which one is the most suitable for your actual needs.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES Hybrid Dual SIM slot, 5G Dual SIM slot, 5G Dual SIM slot, 5G

Design

The design of the Honor X10 5G is very attractive because it offers a full-screen display thanks to the presence of a motorized pop-up camera. Both Redmi 10X Pro and Huawei Enjoy 20 Pro come with an annoying waterdrop notch on the front panel. But the Redmi 10X Pro has a glass back protected by Gorilla Glass 5, so its build quality is actually better. Would you prefer getting a full-screen display like the panel of the Honor X10 or more premium materials like the ones of the Redmi 10X Pro?

 

Display

If you prefer having a better image quality, you should go for the Redmi 10X Pro since it is the only device of this trio sporting an AMOLED display, as well as the HDR10+ certification. Instead, if you are a gamer or you want a smoother viewing experience, choose the Honor X10 5G since it comes with a high 90 Hz refresh rate. Huawei Enjoy 20 Pro has a 90 Hz refresh rate as well, but the quality of the IPS panel found on the Honor X10 5G is actually superior.

 

Specs & Software

The Dimensity 820 chipset found on the Redmi 10X Pro 5G is the most powerful SoC in this comparison. It is also paired with a higher amount of internal storage: up to 256 GB, while Honor X10 and Huawei Enjoy 20 Pro come with max 128 GB. In each case, you get up to 8 GB of RAM. The second place goes to the Honor X10 since the Kirin 820 is better than the Dimensity 800 of the Huawei Enjoy 20 Pro.

 

Camera

On the camera side, it is a hard fight between the Redmi 10X Pro 5G and Honor X10 5G. The former has better secondary sensors, including a telephoto lens with OIS and 3x optical zoom. Honor X10 5G lacks a telephoto sensor, but it has an awesome 40 MP sensor providing a great photo quality. If you need the best camera phone, just do not choose the Huawei Enjoy 20 Pro which is like a Redmi 10X Pro without a telephoto lens and with worse secondary sensors.

 

Battery

Redmi 10X Pro 5G will most likely last more on a single charge for two reasons. First, it features a bigger 4520 mAh battery. Further, it has a more efficient display due to the AMOLED technology and its lower refresh rate. Redmi 10X Pro 5G is the winner even when it comes to fast charging: it can be charged with a 33W power. On the other hand, the Honor X10 5G is the only to support reverse charging (wired).

 

Price

Redmi 10X Pro 5G has a €290/$324 listing price in China for its base variant with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage. Honor X10 5G starts from €285/$319 in the 6/64 GB configuration, while Huawei Enjoy 20 Pro has a starting price of €250/$280 for the version with 6 GB RAM and 128 GB of native storage. Redmi 10X Pro 5G wins the comparison due to its premium build quality, better hardware, great cameras, AMOLED display, and longer battery life.

Google’s Nearby Share feature for Android may also support Chrome OS, Windows, Linux, and macOS

It is no longer news that Google is working on a file-sharing feature for Android similar to Apple’s AirDrop. The feature which is now called Nearby Share (formerly known as Nearby Sharing) has been in development for a while, and now more details have surfaced.

New info has revealed that Nearby Share will not be limited to sharing between Android devices but also other operating systems with the help of the Chrome browser.

A few months ago, April to be precise, a Chrome commit was discovered with a flag with a description that reads “enables Nearby Sharing functionality”. It was presumed the flag was to activate the feature on other operating systems with a Chrome browser since Android already has the feature baked in.

Another commit lends further credence to the feature being available in the Chrome browser for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

A twitter user by the name Dinsan (@_dinsan) shared an image showing Nearby Share in Chrome OS settings.

Not limiting the feature to Android is a smart move by Google and will make it easy for users to share files between devices especially those who use multiple devices running different operating systems e.g. an Android phone, a Chrome tablet, and a Windows PC.

Google is yet to announce when the feature will be official.

POCO F2 Pro now available for purchase in the UK for £479

The POCO F2 Pro launched in Europe more than a month ago and if you wanted to get it, your options were GearBest and AliExpress. Now those who live in the UK have a third option and which is probably the best, and that is the official Xiaomi UK online store.

Yes, you can now order the POCO F2 Pro from Xiaomi’s online store and the best part is that you can even get it for less. The 8GB + 256GB version has a launch price of €599 which is about £542. However, for a limited time, you can pick it up for £479! That is just slightly more than the €499 (~£452) price tag of the 6GB +128GB version which unsurprisingly isn’t available on the Xiaomi store.

The phone is actually listed for £499 but you can use the code POCOF2PRO at checkout to get it for £479. Hurry as the promo ends on June 22.

Honor ASK-AL20 4G phone appears on TENAA

Most of the phones Honor has announced this year are 5G phones. However, in markets outside China, it has announced a couple of 4G phones. Back in April, it announced the Honor 9S, Honor 9A, and the Honor 9C trio in Russia which are all 4G phones. A TENAA listing has now revealed that there is a new 4G phone in the pipeline. The phone is listed as the Honor ASK-AL20 and it shares a lot of its specs with the Honor 9C.

The Honor ASK-AL20 is a 4G phone with a 6.39-inch IPS LCD display with a 1560 x 720 resolution. It is powered by a 2.0GHz processor that is paired with 4GB or 6GB of RAM and 64GB or 128GB of expandable storage.

Honor has put three rear cameras on the back of the device. The primary sensor is a 48MP sensor and it is paired with an 8MP ultrawide angle camera and a 2MP sensor which should be a depth sensor. The phone has another 8MP camera in front for selfies.

There is a 3900mAh battery inside the phone but there is no mention of support for fast charging. It will ship with Android 10 out of the box and be available in Aurora Blue, Charm Red, Magic Night Black, and Iceland White.

Images attached to the listing by TENAA show the phone has its cameras arranged vertically and in the same housing. There is no fingerprint scanner but it should have support for face unlock.

There are speculations the Honor ASK-AL20 may be a member of the Honor *C family. We expect it to be announced soon.

Galaxy Note 20 Ultra could feature Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 Plus

Samsung is expected to launch the Galaxy Note 20 series and Galaxy Fold 2 on August 5. Ahead of it, these handsets have been leaking every other week revealing new features each time. Now, according to the latest leak, the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra will be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 Plus.

The new information comes from Ice Universe, a well-known Samsung leaker. According to him, the upcoming Galaxy Note 20 Ultra will be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 Plus.

If you recall, Meizu’s CMO Wan Zhigiang claimed in April that there won’t be a Snapdragon 865 Plus this year. But we still cannot rule the possibility and even if it exists, it will be merely a minor upgrade to the already much powerful regular Snapdragon 865 SoC.

Further, the leakster also says that the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra will feature a QHD+ LTPO AMOLED panel. The phone will also have an option for 120Hz refresh rate in QHD+ resolution, which is missing on the Galaxy S20 series.

Lastly, he also mentions the inclusion of new improved S-pen along with additional camera features. Other than that, nothing else is known about this device. But we expect more leaks in the coming days as we are nearing to the launch.

The forthcoming Oppo Enco W11 in India is not a  new product after all. This TWS is available in a number of countries where the company has its presence.

Unlike the Enco W31 and the new Enco W51, the Enco W11 is a bud type TWS rather than Apple AirPods clone with stems. It features 8mm drivers with support for AAC audio format and even offers noise cancellation feature for calls.

The W11 uses Bluetooth 5.0 to connect with devices with a maximum range of 10m. Both the buds connect directly to the device rather than utilizing master-slave connection as found on cheaper Redmi AirDots from last year.

Further, it features touch controls to carry out lots of tasks such as single-tap to play/pause, double-tap to change tracks, double-tap to answer/end calls, triple-tap to activate voice assistant, and touch + hold to adjust the volume.

Oppo claims 5 hours of battery life on a single charge and a total of 20 hours with the charging case, which features a USB Type-C port. Both the buds and case come in white color but only the former is IP55-certified for dust and water resistance.

Realme C11 will be the world’s first smartphone with MediaTek Helio G35

Realme to soon launch its next entry-level smartphone dubbed as Realme C11.  It will be the world’s first smartphone with MediaTek Helio G35 SoC. The handset will initially debut in Malaysia, followed by other regions.

Realme Malaysia official Facebook page has shared a teaser image with a text saying “World’s First Helio G35 – Play More Smoothly”. But the post description does not reveal the name of the device.

But the brand seems to have confirmed its name and design to Vocket and other Malaysian publications with a teaser image of the phone’s back. However, it is yet to announce the launch date.

Realme C11 first surfaced on the web with its model number RMX2185 on Indonesia’s TKDN certification portal. Soon, it cleared multiple certifications like Europe’s EEC, Malasia’s SIRIM, and Thailand’s NBTC, which also revealed its moniker.

 

Unfortunately, nothing else is known about this phone except for the fact that it will be an entry-level smartphone powered by yet to be announced MediaTek Helio G35 with 4G connectivity.

Going by its predecessor Realme C3, we can expect it to feature either dual or triple camera setup, HD+ display, large battery, 3.5mm headphone jack, and Realme UI based on Android 10.

Anyway, we will know more about this handset in the coming days as the brand will surely tease its specs leading up to the day of the launch.
