A Xiaomi SU7 has recently been involved in a deadly accident in China. The EV made news in the region for going out of control apparently and causing three people to be injured and one casualty. But while the news reports have claimed that the car was at fault, the brand says otherwise. So here’s everything that we know so far.

Xiaomi SU7 Accident: One Dead, Three Injured

Earlier today (7th June 2024), Xiaomi shared an official statement acknowledging the accident and stating that it is actively cooperating with the police in its investigation. The brand has also launched its own investigation into the Xiaomi SU7, which was involved in this fatal incident. According to local news outlets, the premium EV had suddenly lost control when leaving the parking lot and rushed into other vehicles and pedestrians that were on the non-motorized vehicle lane.

This results in one fatality and three injuries. However, Xiaomi claims that the Xiaomi SU7 wasn’t at fault. The company’s statement claimed that the police retrieved the backend data from the car, which confirmed that the EV was in normal condition at the time of the accident. This included its brake pedal and accelerator pedal functioning at optimal conditions. They further added that they are closely working with the police and will discloe any new information in a timely manner.

Xiaomi then responded to Chinese media, criticizing them for their rash coverage of the incident as they used terms like “vehicle out of control” and “brake failure” without having accurate information. Lastly, the company said it is cooperating with the vehicle owner and the victims as well to sincerely deal with the aftermath of this deadly accident. So stick around for more as we will be providing updates when more details are available regarding this matter.

Realme is making another leap in the fast-charging technology. In a recent interview with YouTuber TheTechChap, Francis Wong, Head of Marketing for Realme Global, it was revealed that the company is currently testing 300W charging technology.

Realme has always been at the forefront of charging technologies. In 2021, the company introduced their 65W DartCharge tech with GT Master Edition phone which can fully fuel its 4300mAh battery in 33 minutes.

Next year in 2022, Realme released the GT Neo 3 with 150W charging support capable of taking a 4500mAh battery from 0 to 50% in just 5 minutes.

Francis Wong confirming Realme’s 300W charging solution

Then its last year’s flagship, the Realme GT Neo 5 (review), debuted even higher 240W charging speeds, allowing users to charge their phones in under 10 minutes fully. Its sequel is now set to be an even faster 300W solution.

Redmi is currently the only brand to show off 300W charging technology for phones. Their demo shows impressive results, with the phone reaching 50% charge in under three minutes and a full charge in just under five minutes.

The details of Realme’s 300W fast charging technology are scarce at the moment. The interview with Wong did not delve into specifics like charging times or any drawbacks. It’s also unclear when or if this technology will be available in a commercially released smartphone.

While faster charging offers undeniable convenience, especially for on-the-go users, there are downsides of its own. High charging speeds can cause phones to overheat which directly affects battery health and longevity.

Additionally, the company needs to ensure there is proper infrastructure to support such high-wattage charging, such as larger and more efficient vapor chamber cooling systems, which may increase the cost of the phone.

It will be interesting to see if Realme can overcome these challenges and bring 300W fast charging to the market. With each iteration, they move closer to eliminating waiting times for phone charging altogether.

Unfortunately, this certification did not reveal any other finer details like the specs and pricing of the device. But if it actually is the S19 Pro, we have some idea regarding its hardware and other details since it launched in China last month.

The Vivo S19 Pro sports a tall 6.78-inch AMOLED display with a Full HD+ resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, HDR10+, and 4,500nits of peak brightness. Under the hood, it is equipped with the MediaTek Dimensity 9200+ SoC. This processor is paired with up to 12GB of RAM and 512GB of internal storage. A massive 5,500mAh battery pack powers this device, which supports 80W wired fast charging. For optics, the rear packs a triple camera setup that consists of a 50-megapixel primary sensor, a 50-megapixel telephoto shooter with 2x optical zoom, and an 8-megapixel ultra wide angle lens.

Meanwhile, the front houses a 50-megapixel selfie shooter with autofocus. Other notable features include IP69 water and dust resistance, an in-display fingerprint scanner, and Android 14 OS based OriginOS 4 custom skin out of the box. It is worth noting that this is still just speculation at this point and the brand has yet to officially confirm the Vivo V40 Pro. So take this news with a pinch of salt and stick around for more updates regarding this matter.

Jun 7, 2024

Last month, Oppo announced the Reno 12 and Reno 12 Pro for the Chinese markets. The brand recently confirmed that both phones will be hitting the global markets this month. However, there is a high possibility that global variants will have different specs as compared to their Chinese counterparts. Leaker Chun, who recently revealed details of the Reno 12F’s 4G and 5G versions, has also leaked information about the chipset and cameras that will be available on the global versions of the Reno 12 and 12 Pro smartphones.

Chinese Reno 12, Reno 12 Pro chipset, camera details

Before delving into the leaked details about the global Reno 12 and 12 Pro, let’s take a look at the chipset and cameras of their Chinese versions. The Dimensity 8250 and Dimensity 9200+ Star Speed Edition chipsets, respectively, power the Reno 12 and 12 Pro available in China.

The Chinese Reno 12 has an OIS-enabled 50-megapixel (Sony LYT-600) + 8-megapixel (IMX355 ultrawide) + 50-megapixel (Samsung JN5, 2x telephoto) triple camera unit. On the other hand, the Reno 12 Pro has an OIS-assisted 50-megapixel (Sony IMX890, OIS) + 8-megapixel (Sony IMX355, ultrawide) + 50-megapixel (Samsung JN5, 2x telephoto) triple camera system.

Global Reno 12, Reno 12 Pro chipset, camera leak

According to the leaker, the Reno 12 and Reno 12 Pro heading to global markets will have the Dimensity 7300 Energy chipset onboard. The Reno 12’s global version will have a 50-megapixel + 8-megapixel, + 2-megapixel triple camera setup on the back. It implies that there will be no telephoto camera. On the other hand, the leak reveals that the global Reno 12 Pro will feature a 50-megapixel LYT-600 primary camera, essentially a rebranded Sony IMX882 sensor.

Final thoughts

The global Reno 11 and 11 Pro, debuted earlier this year, have the Dimensity 7050 and Dimensity 8200 chipsets, respectively. While the Reno 12 may feature the newer Dimensity 7300 chip, it is unclear whether the brand may settle for this chipset instead of the D8200 or something better.

Also, the global Reno 11’s camera setup features a 32-megapixel telephoto camera. However, the new leak now suggests that the successor model does not have a telephoto camera, a claim that sounds absurd. Therefore, we advise readers to approach the leak cautiously, as certain details don’t seem to be accurate.
