The first one is based on the Ryzen 5 9600X and is equipped with an AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT 10GB graphics card, which can offer a decent gaming and multitasking experience. This build uses the MSI PRO B650M-B motherboard, which provides a solid foundation for the build. This PC comes with a 1TB Kingston NV2 M.2 high-speed SSD.

Google’s New standalone weather app now available for download (Unofficially)

A pre-release version of Google‘s upcoming Weather app, intended for the Pixel 9 series, has surfaced online. While the Pixel 9 launch is still a week away, users eager to try out new features can now sideload the app on their Android 14 devices.

Currently, Google bundles weather information within the clock app, but it will be launching a dedicated weather app with the Pixel 9 series. That means Pixel 9 phones will be the first to come pre-loaded with this new app.

If you don’t want to wait that long, the APK is now available for download on APKMirror, courtesy of Kamila Wojciechowska from Android Authority. 

Google-Weather-App
Google-Weather-App-2
Google-Pixel-Weather-App-3

The app has a pretty minimalist design. It displays the current weather conditions at the top followed by an hourly forecast. Below that, there’s a large tile that shows a 10-day forecast. This is also the only interactive tile on this APK which you can click to view detailed weather information for the upcoming days.

Below this, you will find separate circular and square tiles that show details like wind speed, sunrise and sunset times, UV Index, and more.

Although you can now sideload the app — I tested it on my Galaxy S22 Ultra, and it works fine — the app might not function properly on every device. Also, make sure the device you’re sideloading it on runs Android 14 or above.

This pre-release version might also be missing features that will appear in the final release. According to a 9to5Google report, the app will eventually offer weather notifications. Additionally, Dylan Roussel on X (formerly Twitter) mentioned that it will include features like weather maps and AI-generated weather summaries.

HMD Barbie phone is an uninspiring flip phone that looks like a toy from 2000’s

By
Rajesh Regmi

Following HMD‘s confirmation of a global launch for the HMD Barbie phone on August 28th, its specs and renders have now surfaced on China’s TENAA certification.

When HMD first introduced this phone earlier this year, they made it clear that it would be a classic feature flip phone rather than a smartphone. And the TENAA certification confirms this.

The photos of the actual device reveal a decidely uninspired feature phone aimed at capitalizing on brand recognition rather than innovation. It looks like a toy my sister once wished for to complete her self-made Barbie collection.

As expected, its specs are quite underwhelming. The phone features a 2.8-inch TFT screen with a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels. The certification also mentions a secondary display, which is even smaller at 1.77 inches with a 128 x 160-pixel resolution, but we couldn’t spot it in the images provided by TENAA.

The phone runs on a single-core SoC clocked at a modest 1.05 GHz and comes with just 64MB of RAM and 128MB of internal storage. This setup is unlikely to support much beyond basic calling and texting.

Storage expansion is limited to 32GB via a micro-SD card slot, and the device has 4G LTE for connectivity. It will be powered by a 1450mAh battery which is easily swappable thanks to the user-replacable back cover. For basic photography, you’ll find a single rear camera with an LED flash.

Unsurprisingly, the overall design leans heavily into the Barbie aesthetic. The phone is a vibrant shade of pink, with a big Barbie logo prominently displayed on lid of the device. The back, however, has a contrasting silver finish. The device measures 108 x 55 x 18.9 mm and weighs 123 grams.

There’s no information on pricing yet, but we’ll find that out in a couple of weeks. Expect it to be an affordable option.

OnePlus has launched a new monthly update series for its OxygenOS system, targeting both phones and tablets. From what we’ve been able to understand, this isn’t a standard over-the-air (OTA) update. Instead, it will upgrade OnePlus’ own apps and add some new system features to enhance the software experience.

According to OnePlus, the new update series will be available for phones and tablets carrying the firmware versions U120P01(BRB1EX01) and U120P01(BRB3EX01). 

OxygenOS update series eligible smartphones

The update has already started its phased deployment from August 2nd and is expected to reach users across Asia-Pacific regions like India, Hong Kong, and Singapore, as well as select Middle Eastern countries, including the UAE and Saudi Arabia, by September 6th.

The main advantage of this new series is faster access to updates for OnePlus’ self-developed apps and new features, avoiding the usual staggered OTA rollout. This means quicker bug fixes, performance improvements, and possibly new functionalities.

The initial update, U120P01, is relatively minor, focusing on optimizing the unit converter interface within the Calculator app and general system stability improvements.

Changelog Overview
Calculator
• Optimizes the Unit converter interface on the Calculator to make it neater and more intuitive.
System
• Improves system stability.

The update series is compatible with a wide range of OnePlus devices, including current flagships and some older models. Eligible devices include:

OxygenOS 14: OnePlus 12 series, OnePlus Open, OnePlus 11 series, OnePlus 10 series, OnePlus 9 series, OnePlus 8T
OxygenOS 13.1.0/OxygenOS 13: OnePlus Nord 4 5G, OnePlus Nord 3 5G, OnePlus Nord 2T 5G, OnePlus Nord CE 4 5G, OnePlus Nord CE 3 5G, OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite 5G, OnePlus Nord CE 2 lite 5G, OnePlus Pad, OnePlus Pad Go
Older Models: OnePlus 8, OnePlus 8 Pro, OnePlus Nord 2 5G, OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G, OnePlus Nord CE 5G

Users can check for the update by navigating to Settings > About Device > OxygenOS card. As with most OTA updates, OnePlus is using an incremental rollout strategy, initially reaching a limited number of users before a wider release.

Oppo Find X8, X8 Pro, X8 Ultra display details leaked

By

Oppo is expected to unveil the Find X8 series of smartphones in October of this year in China. The Find X7 series included two models, the Find X7 and the Find X7 Ultra. However, recent reports suggest that the X8 lineup will comprise as many as three models, such as the Find X8, the Find X8 Pro, and the Find X8 Ultra. In a recent Weibo post, tipster Digital Chat Station leaked the battery and charging details of all three phones. In a new post on the microblogging platform, the tipster shared the display specifications of the X8 series.

Oppo Find X8 series display specifications (rumored)

The above leak suggests that the Find X8 series will have a variety of displays, including 1.5K flat screens, 1.5K shallow curved screens, and 2K shallow curved screens. It appears that he is talking about the Find X8, the X8 Pro, and the X8 Ultra, respectively.  

DCS’ post further suggests that the prototypes of these phones currently use displays from Tianma Microelectronics (TM) and Beijing Oriental Electronics (BOE). Notably, the 2K 8T LTPO display from BOE with the new substrate is impressive, showing significant improvements in display quality, brightness, and dimming strategies. In addition, the screen is surrounded by ultra-thin bezels on all four sides.

The Find X8 Ultra, which is expected to launch in January 2025, is likely to feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4. Speculation suggests that the Find X8 and Find X8 Pro will come equipped with the Dimensity 9400 chipset.

The tipster recently revealed that the Find X8, X8 Pro, and X8 Ultra will pack 5,600mAh, 5,700mAh, and 6,100mAh or 6,200mAh batteries, respectively. The series is expected to run on Android 15 with a layer of ColorOS 15.

The Find X8 Ultra is expected to feature a quad-camera setup that includes a pair of periscope telephoto cameras, similar to the X7 Ultra. In addition, it is also expected to support two-way satellite connectivity and feature an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint sensor.

DCS responded that the Pro variant has dual periscope telephoto cameras, an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint sensor, and a larger battery when asked about notable differences between the Find X8 and X8 Pro. Hence, it appears that the Find X8 will have an optical-type in-screen fingerprint sensor and a triple camera unit.

MediaTek Dimensity 9400 is reported to have a 30% single-core performance boost over last-gen

By
Rajesh Regmi
-

MediaTek’s next flagship processor, the Dimensity 9400, is expected to launch in October, ahead of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, which is planned for an October 21st reveal.

A new leak from Digital Chat Station suggests that the Dimensity 9400 will have a 30% improvement in single-core performance compared to its predecessor. 

Based on benchmarks, this increase over the Dimensity 9300 (which scored 2,207 in Geekbench 6.2) suggests a potential score of around 2,869 for the Dimensity 9400. This would put it very close to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4’s single-core performance of 2,884. This performance boost could likely be due to the collaboration of MediaTek with Arm on the development of the Cortex-X925 CPU core, codenamed Blackhawk. 

Additionally, the leak suggests the Dimensity 9400 achieves this performance while using only 30% of the power consumed by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for similar tasks, highlighting a focus on efficiency.

MediaTek Dimensity 9400 performance

The Dimensity 9300 featured an all-performance core design, a strategy likely to continue with the 9400. While this approach enhances raw power, it can cause thermal throttling. However, the reported efficiency gains of the Dimensity 9400, along with the use of Samsung’s faster 10.7 Gbps LPDDR5x memory modules, could address these thermal issues and position the chip as a strong competitor in the smartphone processor market.

Both the Dimensity 9400 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 are expected to be manufactured on TSMC’s N3 process node, leveling the playing field in terms of raw power.

The real wildcard in this upcoming generation might be Samsung’s Exynos 2500. Rumored to mark a comeback for Samsung’s mobile chip division, it uses the 3GAP process node and incorporates the innovative GAAFET (Gate-All-Around Field-Effect Transistor) technology instead of the traditional FinFET design. 

Additionally, there are rumors of an RDNA 3-based integrated GPU suggesting the Exynos 2500 might become a strong contender in the mobile gaming arena.

While MediaTek’s focus on single-core performance and efficiency promises a competitive offering, the true performance picture will only become clear with benchmark results and real-world testing.

iQOO unveiled the iQOO Neo 9S Pro featuring the all new Dimensity 9300 Plus chipset in May this year. It was announced with a starting price of 2,699 Yuan (~$375). Recent reports have claimed that the company is working on the iQOO Z9 Turbo equipped with the same chipset. Being a Z-series phone, it is likely to be priced around 2,000 Yuan (~$280) in China. The arrival of the Z9 Turbo+ seems to be close at hand as it has been approved by the MIIT regulatory body in China.

As can be seen above, a new Vivo device bearing the V2417A model number has been approved by the MIIT authority. As per a Weibo post from reliable leaker Digital Chat Station, the said model number is associated with the upcoming Z9 Turbo+.

Unfortunately, the MIIT certification has no information about the specifications of the iQOO Z9 Turbo+. It is likely that the phone may go official either by the end of this month or in September. Here is a look at what the rumor mill has leaked about the device so far.

iQOO Z9 Turbo+ specifications (rumored)

There’s a possibility that the iQOO Z9 Turbo+ could be largely similar to the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3-powred iQOO Z9 Turbo, which debuted with a price tag of 1,999 Yuan (~$280) in April in China. As per leaks, the iQOO Z9 Turbo+ will have a flat OLED screen that offers a 1.5K resolution and an in-screen fingerprint sensor.

The Dimensity 9300+ powered device is expected to pack a 6,000mAh battery. The rest of the specs of the phone are under wraps.

To recall, the Z9 Turbo features a 6.78-inch flat OLED panel that offers a 1.5K resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate. The Snapdragon 8s Gen 3-powered phone has LPDDR5x RAM, UFS 4.0 storage, and a 6,000mAh battery with 80W fast charging support. It has a 16-megapixel front camera and a 50-megapixel (main) + 8-megapixel (ultrawide) dual-camera system.

Upcoming Xiaomi device may pack a 7,500mAh battery with 100W charging

By

Until last year, Chinese smartphone brands were focused on offering faster charging solutions while slightly reducing battery size. However, this year, the trend has shifted to launching phones with larger silicon batteries instead of lithium-ion types and offering fast charging at around 100W. By doing this, phones can maintain longer battery life and provide more efficient performance. A new Weibo post by tipster Digital Chat Station suggests that Xiaomi may launch a device equipped with a 7,500mAh battery in future.

Xiaomi reportedly testing multiple battery and charging configurations

According to the tipster Digital Chat Station, Xiaomi is currently researching various fast charging solutions for their batteries. It is considering multiple configurations, including a 5,000mAh battery with 120W fast charging, which can fully charge in 18 minutes, and a 5,500mAh battery with 100W fast charging, which takes 34 minutes to fully charge.

Additionally, it is looking into a 6,000mAh battery with 120W fast charging that charges in 30 minutes, a 6,500mAh battery with 100W fast charging that requires 49 minutes for a full charge, a 7,000mAh battery with 120W fast charging that charges in 40 minutes, and a 7,500mAh battery with 100W fast charging that takes 63 minutes to fully charge.

Some of the recent Xiaomi phones, such as the Redmi Note 13 Pro series, Redmi K70 Pro, K70, Redmi Note 12 Pro+, Redmi K60 Ultra, K60 Pro, K50 Ultra, K50 Pro, Xiaomi 13T Pro, Xiaomi 12T series, and Xiaomi 11T Pro, already offer 5,000mAh+120W combination. The K70 Ultra, which debuted last month, offers a 5,500mAh battery with 100W rapid charging.

It is speculated that the upcoming Xiaomi 15 series will have silicon batteries of around 6,000mAh. Expected to launch next year, the 15 Ultra could have a 6,200mAh battery.

Usually, batteries of around 6,500mAh to 7,500mAh are good enough to power entry-level tablets. However, now that phone brands are working on phones with silicon batteries with increased energy densities, it may not be long before we see phones packed with 7,500mAh batteries.

Realme’s 300W fast charging to be showcased on August 14

By
Anvinraj Valiyathara
-

Realme was the first brand to showcase 150W and 240W fast charging technologies in the world of smartphones. Recent reports claim that the brand is now using 300W rapid charging technology. Today, the brand officially confirmed that it will hold an event on Aug. 14 in China to reveal a new milestone in fast charging technology.

Realme 300W’s fast charging tech: What to expect?

Several smartphone brands, including Redmi, reportedly developed 300W fast charging technology last year. However, the recent trend in the smartphone industry has shifted to offering larger batteries of around 6,000mAh capacities while keeping the fast charging to around 100W. It appears that Realme will be the first smartphone brand to announce 300W fast charging tech.

In June, Realme Global Head of Marketing, Francis Wong, revealed in an interview that his company was testing 300W rapid charging tech. The official details of the new fast charging solution have not been confirmed. However, reports suggest that it can charge from 0 to 50 percent in less than three minutes and reach 100 percent in approximately five minutes.

At present, there is no clarity on which of the upcoming Realme phones will come with support for 300W fast charging. This month, the brand is expected to launch the Realme 13 and 13 Pro series of smartphones in China. At the end of this year, it will unveil the Realme GT 7 Pro, equipped with the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset. However, it may not come with support for 300W rapid charging.

While Realme’s 300W fast charging technology will be announced next week, it may take a couple of months before we see a Realme phone supporting it.

Android 15 ineligible devices

We’re close to the release of Android 15 as the development is almost final, and Google is wrapping it up by making final adjustments. Unlike the last two iterations, this one is going to be an exciting upgrade, packed with plenty of new features and enhancements (more on that later).

Google is expected to drop the stable version of Android 15 in the coming weeks. Those who haven’t participated in the beta program are eagerly waiting to test out the new features and changes.

So far, only Google has confirmed which devices will receive Android 15 and which won’t. Other brands haven’t yet made it official. So, we had to analyze the software update policy and past rollouts for the remaining brands to prepare the list above.

If your device isn’t on the above list, you’re good to go. However, if you’ve spotted your device there, plan your next upgrade to continue receiving the latest Android updates.

When Will Android 15 Start Rolling Out?

Android 15 has already entered the platform stability phase. It’s the final phase of development, where Google fixes known bugs and other problems and adds a final touch to the new OS to prepare it for a stable release.

Although we don’t have an official release date yet, the timeline is similar to last year’s Android 14. Hence, we’re expecting Google to drop the stable build of Android 15 around the same time as last year, which means early October.

Here’s a quick look at the significant milestones for Android 15:

  • Android 15 DP1 — February 16, 2024
  • Android 15 DP2 — March 21, 2024
  • Android 15 Beta 1 — April 11, 2024
  • Android 15 Beta 1.1 — April 22, 2024
  • Android 15 Beta 1.2 — April 25, 2024
  • Android 15 Beta 2 — May 15, 2024
  • Android 15 Beta 2.1 — May 20, 2024
  • Android 15 Beta 2.2 — June 3, 2024
  • Android 15 Beta 3 — June 18, 2024
  • Android 15 Beta 3.1 — July 1, 2024
  • Android 15 Beta 4 — July 18, 2024
  • Android 15 Beta 4.1 — July 29, 2024

Notably, Google has scheduled its Made by Google event on August 13, where the tech giant will unveil Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro Fold, among other products. These upcoming Pixels are expected to come with Android 15 out of the box. This means that Google might release the new OS at this event.

As soon as the stable build arrives, it will roll out to Google Pixels, and then other brands should follow quickly after making necessary changes to their custom skins. For non-Pixels, you can expect the update to hit the flagship devices first and then to the remaining models.

We leaked the top-end model of the POCO F7 series, the POCO F7 Pro. Now, information from the XiaomiTime team has revealed the regular model of the series, the POCO F7. The new POCO F7 will be a rebranded version of the Redmi Turbo 4. Xiaomi is working on new devices and the first information for the POCO F7 series has already leaked.

POCO F7 spotted

The POCO F7 has surfaced with 2 different model numbers. These are “2412DPC0AG” and “2412DPC0AI“. The first model number represents the POCO F7 designed for users in the Global market. The other model number represents the POCO F7 model developed specifically for users in the Indian market. Of course, there may be differences in system applications etc. due to legal situations in the regions. However, the POCO F7 to be sold in both regions will have exactly the same hardware specifications.

It’s too early for the POCO F7 and, this new POCO F7 series is not expected to be unveiled before May 2025. Therefore, you will have to wait a long time. The POCO F7 and F7 Pro will launch with the latest Qualcomm processor and are now expected to offer significant improvements in the camera.

The POCO F7 will be a rebranded version of the Redmi Turbo 4. On the other hand, the POCO F7 Pro is a rebranded version of the Redmi K80. The codename of the POCO F7 Pro is “miro”. The code name “Miro” comes from the painter Joan Miro. The Redmi K and POCO F Pro series are often codenamed after painters. This tradition continues with new smartphones. The codenames of the Redmi Turbo series are taken from gemstones. In any case, you will wait until May 2025. Because the POCO F6 series was announced in May 2024.
