The iPhone 17 series has already entered the conversation before the launch of the iPhone 16 series. The iPhone 17 series was previously expected to come with a 2nm chipset fabricated by TSMC. While this could be great news for the iPhone 17 series this is reportedly not possible due to technological limitations.
The 2nm chips won’t be ready for mass production till the end of 2025
The news comes from Weibo tipster “Mobile chip expert” (translated), who claims that the 2nm chips won’t be ready for mass production till the end of 2025. The tipster further mentioned that the 2nm chips won’t be available until the iPhone 18 series. So it means that the iPhone 17 series will continue to use TSMC’s 3nm process node.
TSMC plans to start mass production of 2-nanometer chips next year, but multiple Taiwanese media reported that the company is accelerating the process to ensure stable output for mass production. Not to mention, Apple is a major customer of the contract manufacturer. The company occupies a significant production capacity of TSMC’s latest process nodes for Apple Silicon and smartphone chips. For example, in 2023, Apple received all of TSMC’s 3-nanometer chips for the production of iPhones, iPads, and Macs.
TSMC’s 2nm process node is expected to provide a 10% to 15% speed increase at the same power consumption, or a 25% to 30% reduction in power consumption at the same speed as compared to the chips fabricated in the company’s 3nm process.
The current A17 Pro chip (that powers the iPhone 15 Pro models) is fabricated on the company’s first generation 3nm process. In contrast, the more recent M4 chip (that powers the 2024 iPad Pro) is built using a second-generation 3-nanometer process node.
Speaking of the iPhone 16 series, code in iOS 18 has confirmed that all four models will use the next-generation A18 chip based on the second-generation 3-nanometer process. This is a shift from the past few generations, where Apple used the last generation’s chip in the non-Pro models of the successor.

Huawei‘s HarmonyOS is expected to expand to PCs later this year, and a recent update on the Huawei Developer website may have offered a glimpse of the software’s user interface (UI) design.
The leak reportedly appears in the Design Guide section of the developer website, showcasing the overall UI and app adaptation for PCs.
The UI design leans towards a clean and minimalistic aesthetic. The status bar, located in the top right corner, displays essential information like time, battery level, network connection, volume, and input method. Notably, the icons are spaced out for better readability.
The Dock bar resides at the bottom of the screen, housing frequently used applications and key functionalities. This layout suggests a potentially simpler and more accessible user experience compared to Windows.
App adaptation is another key aspect of the leaked UI design. The guide reportedly covers various app categories including audio, video, social media, photography, reading, shopping, finance, and more. Applications like Maps and Music appear to benefit from a clearer layout for controls and functions.
The Huawei Developer Design Guide reportedly emphasizes the efficient and immersive experience these apps offer across different devices. The apps are designed to adapt seamlessly to various screen sizes without compromising usability. Examples include Weather, File Explorer, and others.
A noteworthy aspect is the alleged compatibility of the HarmonyOS PC UI with both smartphones and tablets. Additionally, the design bears a resemblance to Apple’s macOS user interface. Overall, the UI seems to prioritize efficient use of space and clear information presentation.
The updated Design Guide also reportedly details how new apps and features can be developed to function effectively in a multi-device environment. It emphasizes responsive layout design for smooth navigation and user-friendly features.
While Huawei hasn’t officially confirmed the launch of HarmonyOS for PCs, leaks suggest a potential release alongside the Mate 70 series in Q4 2024. We can expect further details about the software to emerge in the coming months.

According to the market research firm Omdia, the company’s shipments of large-screen TVs above 100 inches ranked first in the world in the high-end large-screen TV market.
Xiaomi has scheduled a launch event for July 19th at 7:00 PM CST, where they will unveil several new products. Among the anticipated releases is the new set of earbuds, the Xiaomi Buds 5. The company has also released several promotional posters showcasing the design of these upcoming earbuds.
The Xiaomi Buds 5 is expected to focus on improved audio quality with support for lossless audio, described by Xiaomi as delivering “lossless audio, natural sound.” This suggests an upgrade from the previous generation’s offerings.
The design appears to remain semi-in-ear, similar to Apple’s AirPods, but with the addition of a new gold color option. The Xiaomi Buds 5 will come in Moonlight Black, Snow Mountain White, Frost Blue, and Titanium Gold colors. Promotional images hint at a revised charging case design, with a more rounded rectangular shape compared to the previous iteration.
The Xiaomi Buds 4, launched in 2022, included a semi-in-ear design, IPX54 water resistance, active noise cancellation with real-time adjustability, and support for Hi-Res Audio Wireless certification and the LHDC 5.0 transmission protocol for CD-level sound quality.
The Xiaomi Buds 4 also boasted a graphene-dual magnetic dynamic driver for rich audio, 360-degree spatial audio for an immersive listening experience, and a transparency mode for increased situational awareness. Functionality included microphone cutouts on each earbud for clear calls, tap controls on the stem for easy interaction, and three built-in microphones with noise-reduction capabilities.
The battery life of the Xiaomi Buds 4 offered 6 hours of playback per charge from the earbuds themselves, with the pebble-shaped charging case extending that total to 30 hours. Each earbud housed a 30mAh battery, while the case packed a 480mAh capacity. The Xiaomi Buds 4 offered the convenience of connecting to two devices simultaneously.
While details about the Xiaomi Buds 5 remain scarce, the upcoming launch event will reveal all the specs along with pricing. The event will also be the platform for the official unveiling of the Redmi K70 Ultra.
Xiaomi has also confirmed the launch of the Xiaomi Mix Fold 4, their foldable phone offering, alongside the Xiaomi Smart Band 9 and Xiaomi Watch S4 Sport. With a packed schedule, July 19th promises to be a significant day for Xiaomi and its product line.
After weeks of teasers and reports, the Oppo Reno 12 was finally announced in India. It is an upper mid-range smartphone packed with AI powered features. But at this price range, it competes with the Realme GT 6T. So which one is better? Let’s find out.
Oppo Reno 12 vs Realme GT 6T: What’s with all the AI?
We recently reviewed the Oppo Reno 12 and its new generative AI and features were definitely a highlight. The device brings GenAI features like AI Eraser 2.0, which is handy in removing unwanted objects in your photos. AI Clear Face and AI Best Face are pretty useful, improving facial details and more. Other notable AI features include AI Recording Summary, AI LinkBoost, and more. All of these help in productivity and also aid in daily use.
The use of AI on the Realme GT 6T is more modest. It focuses more on functionality for photography. So you get access to AI Night Vision and AI Smart Removal. Artificial Intelligence is also employed in frame stabilization to improve the users’ gaming experience. But the Reno 12 easily outshines in this regard.
Snapdragon vs Dimensity
The use of AI was great for various features on the Reno 12, but Realme GT 6T easily takes the lead in raw performance. The latter is the first smartphone in India to feature the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 chip, which achieved a score of over 1.5 million on AnTuTu.
On the other hand, Oppo equipped the Reno 12 with a Dimensity 7300 Energy chipset. This is still a capable chip but benchmark scores show a clear gap in performance between the two processors. The gap isn’t large enough to affect daily use or in most scenarios. But intensive tasks like gaming would have a noticeable difference.
Realme with the bigger battery & faster charging
Oppo’s new Reno 12 is powered by a respectable 5,000mAh battery pack that supports 80W wired fast charging. This is a great combo, although, the Realme GT 6T has an edge once again. The GT 6T packs a larger 5,500mAh cell that supports 120W wired fast charging. So you get a bigger battery, which can also be charged quicker.
Realme GT 6T’s display is 5 times brighter
Once again, the Realme GT 6T has another trick up its sleeve. It sports a tall 6.78-inch LTPO AMOELD display that has a Full HD+ resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, 1000 nits of typical brightmess and a peak brightness of 6,000 nits. This is 10 times higher than the Oppo Reno 12’s maximum configurable brightness (600 nits) and 5 times higher than its peak brightness of 1200 nits.
The screen on the Reno 12 is also a shorter 6.7-inch OLED panel but it also offers a 120Hz refresh rate and a FHD+ resolution. This means that you miss out on the variable refresh rate from 1-120Hz on the GT 6T along with a taller and a brighter display.
Pricing
Out of the two phones, the Realme GT 6T is more affordable with a starting price tag of 30,999 INR for its base 8GB + 128GB option. Oppo’s Reno 12 has a slightly higher 32,999 INR price tag for its starting model, but offers 8GB RAM and higher 256GB storage. This price tag is identical to the Realme GT 6T’s 8GB + 256GB option. You also get more experience options like the 12GB + 256GB and 12GB + 512GB variants.
Between the two phones, there isn’t a clear distinction as to which is better. Oppo has a some useful tricks with AI, but Realme has its own advantages with the hardware. So depending on how you use your phone you can make your own decision. A gamer would likely require the extra horsepower on the Reno 12, but the software experience has an edge in the Reno 12.
Following the recent successful launch of the Xperia 1 VI, Sony is gearing up to release the Xperia 5 VI! Render images of the Xperia 5 VI have been spotted on a German case retailer’s website.
Some internet rumors claimed that Sony was discontinuing the Xperia 5 lineup, but it turns out that’s not the case. Sony is set to introduce the Xperia 5 VI soon. The render images indicate that the design of the upcoming Xperia 5 VI is quite similar to its predecessor, Xperia 5 V.
The cameras appear to have a similar size and layout as those on Xperia 5 V. The images also show a side-mounted fingerprint sensor and volume buttons above it. Unfortunately, the shutter button which is welcomed among photography enthusiasts, is missing from Xperia 5 VI. Additionally, while the Xperia 1 VI has a boxier design, the Xperia 5 VI features rounded corners.
Sony Xperia 5 VI
Sony Xperia 5 VI also features a 3.5mm headphone jack at top of the phone. This is what we know all about the future Sony Xperia 5 VI.
Qualcomm‘s upcoming mid-range processor, the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3, has made an uninspiring debut on Geekbench. Traditionally, SoCs with “s” in their name signify a slight downgrade compared to their non-s counterparts. The trend seems to hold true here, with the 7s Gen 3 offering performance nearly identical to the standard Snapdragon 7 Gen 3.
Geekbench 6.3 scores show the 7s Gen 3 achieves 1,157 and 3,157 in single-core and multi-core tests, respectively. These figures are practically indistinguishable from the regular 7 Gen 3’s scores of 1,147 and 3,129.
When compared to its predecessor, the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2, the new chip offers a marginal improvement – a 15% bump in single-core and a 12% increase in multi-core performance. These gains fall within the realm of expected generational iteration for mid-tier processors, offering little cause for excitement.
As for the technical specifications, the 7s Gen 3 will have a tri-cluster CPU architecture. The primary core clocks in at 2.5 GHz, flanked by three performance cores at 2.4 GHz. Two efficiency cores round out the package, operating at a conservative 1.8 GHz.
Rumors suggest that for performance, the SoC will use Arm’s Cortex-A720 core. The graphics processing duties are handled by an Adreno 810 GPU clocked at 480 MHz.
Based on Geekbench, the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 is likely to offer a predictable update in Qualcomm’s mid-range portfolio. You will get dependable performance but don’t expect any major boost in terms of performance.
Although it’s not confirmed yet, the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 might debut with the Redmi Note 14 Pro smartphone. This is likely because its predecessor, the Redmi Note 13 Pro, features the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 SoC.
