Apart from the X8 Ultra, the brand is also expected to announce the Oppo Find N5 foldable phone in the same quarter. The following Weibo post released by tipster Digital Chat Station spills new details about the N5.

Oppo Find N5’s new details emerge

According to the tipster, the general design of the Oppo Find N5’s engineering prototype is similar to the previous generation, the Find N3. Therefore, it continues to sport a large circular camera module on the back. The tipster revealed that the Find N5’s screen size has been increased, but he did not reveal the exact size. A previous leak by the same source revealed that the device’s internal screen will support a 2K+ resolution.

Under the hood, the Oppo Find N5 will feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, and reports suggest it could debut as the world’s first foldable phone powered by this chipset. While its predecessor housed a 4,805mAh battery, the N5 is expected to deliver a notable upgrade with a dual-cell battery configuration (2,460mAh + 3,105mAh) that offers a rated capacity of 5,565mAh. The typical battery capacity could be around 5,700mAh.

There is currently no confirmed information on the device’s wired charging capabilities, though it is rumored to support wireless charging. Oppo has even teased that the N5 will include magnetic wireless charging.

For photography, the N5 will sport a Hasselblad-optimized triple camera system featuring a 50-megapixel main camera, a 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom. A key highlight of the Find N5 is its slimness, measuring around 9.x mm in the folded state, as per a previous leak by DCS. To maintain this sleek profile, the company will incorporate a custom-made slim USB-C port.

Speculation suggests that the Find N5 might be rebranded as the OnePlus Open 2 in select markets such as India, Europe, and the US, though no concrete details are available regarding its launch timeline.

Prominent leakster Digital Chat Station, known for reliable information on upcoming devices, recently hinted at the launch timeframe on China’s Weibo platform. Responding to a user’s query, the tipster stated that the iQOO Neo 10 series launch is currently scheduled for November.

Set for release in November 2024, this new G-SHOCK MRG-B2000JS-1A timepiece combines traditional craftsmanship with advanced technology, appealing to collectors with only 800 pieces available worldwide.

Casio G-SHOCK MRG-B2000JS-1A

Craftsmanship Honoring Japanese Swordsmiths

The design of this MR-G watch draws from the Juryoku-Maru: San, a katana crafted specifically for G-SHOCK by master swordsmith Kamiyama Teruhira. The bezel, made of recrystallized titanium, reflects the edge pattern found on hand-forged blades. A blue-grey AIP coating on the case gives a similar polished look to that of the katana’s blade.

Adding a touch of tradition, the watch band features aogai-nuri, a lacquer technique with mother-of-pearl inlay, mimicking the intricate design of the sword’s scabbard. This element produces a subtle shimmering effect that changes with the light. Each watch is individually numbered and features a hand-engraved inscription on the back by Kamiyama Teruhira, adding a unique touch to every piece.

Combining Tradition with Functionality

While rich in traditional design, the MR-G model includes modern features. The dial displays a hishimaki-gara pattern, a traditional diamond shape found on sword hilts, and the watch indexes subtly reflect a blade’s curve.

For functionality, the watch includes Bluetooth connectivity, solar power, and radio-controlled timekeeping. With a sapphire crystal face and titanium alloy case and band, the watch is both scratch-resistant and impact-proof, staying true to G-SHOCK’s durability standards.

An Exclusive Collector’s Piece

This MR-G model is limited to 800 units, designed for collectors, and carries a hefty price tag of around $8,000 USD (1.1 million yen).

Exclusive: Asus ROG Phone 9 FE spotted, coming soon

Asus has established a solid place for itself in the field of gaming phones with the ROG Phone series. The ROG Phone 9 FE, the budget-friendly version of the Asus ROG Phone 9 series, which is eagerly awaited by mobile game lovers, has been spotted in the GSMA database.

Asus ROG Phone 9 FE appeared with the model number “ASUS_AI2401_N”. We don’t know the specifications of the model yet. However, the ROG Phone 9 FE’s model number is similar to the Asus ROG Phone 8 series, which was introduced earlier this year. Therefore, Asus ROG Phone 9 FE is expected to be equipped with similar features to the ROG Phone 8 series. The device is expected to offer high-performance gaming experience at an affordable price.

Asus’ ROG Phone series has always stood out for its unique designs and gamer-friendly features. The ROG Phone 9 FE is sure to have a unique design as well. In particular, details such as RGB lighting and trigger buttons could be among the highlights of the device.

On the display side, a large screen with a high refresh rate is likely to be used. This will increase fluidity during gameplay, while the high touch sampling rate will allow for more precise control in games. This kind of display could offer an advantage to gamers, especially in competitive games.

In terms of hardware, judging from the model number, the Asus ROG Phone 9 FE is likely to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset. While delivering top-end performance, the device is expected to be equipped with an effective cooling system for long gaming sessions. There is also a possibility that this cooling system can be further enhanced with external accessories.

For this reason, the ROG Phone 9 FE is expected to come with a high-capacity battery with fast charging support. This will allow gamers to enjoy an uninterrupted experience for long periods of time.

Exclusive: Infinix Note 50 series leaked

Infinix continues to attract users with a wide range of smartphones for different budgets. The brand’s highly anticipated new Infinix Note 50 series has appeared in the GSMA database and is preparing to appear with four different models: Infinix Note 50 Pro+ 5G, Infinix Note 50 Pro, Infinix Note 50, and Infinix Note 50X.

Technical specifications of the series have not yet been clarified. However, the previous version of the Infinix Note 40 series offers some clues about the new models.

The Infinix Note 40 Pro offered users a 6.78-inch AMOLED display with 120Hz refresh rate and 1300 nits brightness. The processor of the device was MediaTek Dimensity 7020. It comes with 8GB RAM and 256GB internal storage.

In terms of camera, Note 40 Pro stands out with 108MP OIS-supported main camera and auxiliary cameras; the main camera stood out with a 3x lossless zoom feature. There was a 32MP selfie camera on the front. The device’s 5000mAh battery could quickly recharge with 45W fast charging and 20W wireless charging options. With IPX3 water resistance and IP5X dust resistance certificates, this device was also ambitious in terms of durability. It also comes out of the box with the Android 14-based XOS 14 interface and offers an up-to-date software experience to users.

Although the Infinix Note 40 has similar specifications to the Pro model, equipped with the MediaTek Helio G99 Ultimate processor. 8GB RAM and 256GB storage were also included in this model. Camera and battery specifications were largely the same as the Pro model.

The Infinix Note 40X, which is positioned at a lower level, comes with a 6.78-inch IPS LCD display, 120Hz refresh rate and MediaTek Dimensity 6300 processor.

It provided a more modest energy management with a 5000mAh battery with 18W fast charging support.

In the light of this information, the Infinix Note 50 series is expected to hit the market with a similar design concept and features. However, in the Note 50 series, the Pro+ 5G model will be a strong player especially in the middle segment. The 4G version will be offered with a different processor, but there will be no major changes in other key features. The Note 50 will be simpler and more price-performance oriented than the Pro models, while the Infinix Note 50X is expected to reach the user with more basic features for the lower-mid segment.

With the launch of the Infinix Note 50 series, a great competition is expected to take place, especially in the middle segment. Although the launch date is not yet finalized, the series is expected to be introduced in 2025. With these new models, we expect Infinix to offer a series that attracts attention especially with price-performance balance.

Camera Upgrades

The Galaxy A56 is expected to feature a similar camera setup to its predecessors, with a 50MP main camera, a 12MP ultrawide lens, and a 5MP macro lens.

This score is on par with the Snapdragon 888, the flagship Qualcomm SoC powering 2021 smartphones.

This will provide the device with six years of updates, including six major Android upgrades, positioning the Galaxy A56 as a longer-lasting choice for users who want software longevity in a mid-range device.
