There is exciting news on the horizon for smartphone enthusiasts in India: The POCO M6 Plus 5G with an impressive 108 MP camera is coming. This information comes from the stock firmware of the Redmi Note 13R 5G. Thanks to the latest leak by the XiaomiTime team, we have access to the device’s camera specs. In this article, you will find out many details about the Redmi Note 13R 5G.

POCO M6 Plus 5G Leaked Specifications

The Redmi Note 13R 5G launched in China features a 50 MP primary camera using the Samsung S5KJNSSQ03 sensor and a 2 MP macro camera. However, the POCO M6 Plus 5G makes a significant leap forward in camera technology. The Samsung S5KHM6 sensor offers an outstanding resolution of 108 MP. This sensor will be featured on the POCO M6 Plus 5G. Alongside the 108MP sensor, the 13MP S5K3L6 UW sensor is expected to be available on the M6 Plus 5G. The device has the internal model number “N19” and the codename “Breeze”. This is why the photo is labeled “N19”.

The camera upgrade is a key highlight, but the POCO M6 Plus 5G is not just about photography. It promises a robust overall performance, driven by the new Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 SoC. This chipset is designed to provide balanced performance, ensuring the device handles everyday tasks with ease and supports intense gaming sessions without lag. This makes the POCO M6 Plus 5G a versatile device suitable for a wide range of users.

On the software front, the POCO M6 Plus 5G will likely run on Android 14 based HyperOS, Xiaomi’s custom Android skin, which offers a host of features and customization options. Users can expect a smooth and intuitive user interface, with regular updates and improvements from Xiaomi.

POCO’s upcoming announcement of the 108 MP camera for the Indian market is poised to create a stir in the mid-range smartphone segment. This move reflects a strategic attempt to attract users who value high-quality camera performance but are not inclined to invest in premium smartphones. By offering a device with advanced camera capabilities at a competitive price point, POCO aims to capture a significant share of the mid-range market.

Acer has announced three new Predator series gaming monitors – Predator X27U F3, Predator X32 X3 and Predator X34 X5. All three models offer an OLED display and are compatible with Nvidia’s G-SYNC and AMD’s FreeSync Premium Pro. The monitors also come with stands that you can also tilt and swivel.

All models support 10-bit color depth and come with a 99% DCI-P3 color gamut rating. As the panes are OLED, they also offer a contrasty look with deep blacks that enhance the viewing experience in certain conditions in both gaming and content consumption. But let’s discuss the three models one by one.

Predator X32 X3

It comes with a 31.5″ OLED panel that boasts a 4K UHD resolution. The Predator X32 X3 comes with a refresh rate of 240Hz. However, the refresh rate goes up to 480Hz when you dial down the resolution to Full HD.

For connectivity, you get a Type-C port and 2 x HDMI 2.1 port

OPPO seems to be working on launching the successor to the OPPO F25 Pro (first impressions) that debuted in India earlier in February this year. That is if the latest report per 91Mobiles citing reliable tipster Ishan Agarwal is anything to go by. The publication has shared key details about the OPPO F27 Pro. It seems that the device will be a rebadged version of the OPPO A3 Pro that launched in China last month.

OPPO F27 Pro key details leaked

Tipster Ishan Agarwal shared an image of the OPPO F27 Pro giving us a look at the device. It is seen with a circular camera module surrounded by a metal ring and a leather back panel. The latter seems to have a dual-tone design with a Grey or Blue colour strip running through the centre whereas the rest of the panel has a Black shade.

The OPPO F27 Pro is said to feature IP69 certification for enhanced protection against water, dust, and debris. It would also be the first phone with a rating in India. This is because even premium flagships like the Samsung Galaxy S24 and iPhone 15 series have an IP68 rating. The upcoming smartphone is tipped to come with a 3D curved AMOLED display. It is rumoured to launch in June.

The rest of the details of the OPPO F27 Pro remain a mystery. The aforementioned leaked details match the OPPO A3 Pro in China. It has a 120Hz FHD+ display, a Dimensity 7050 chipset paired with up to 12GB RAM and 512GB storage, and a 5,000mAh battery with support for 67W fast charging.

Vivo S19 Pro vs Vivo S18 Pro: What changed in 6 months?

May 31, 2024

The Vivo S18 Pro was launched in China back in December 2023 and nearly six months after the Vivo S19 Pro has also been unveiled. This latest device arrives as the successor to the S18 Pro. But what’s the difference between the two and what are all the upgrades? Find out in this list.

Prev Next

1. Vivo S19 Pro vs Vivo S18 Pro: Design & Display

A noticeable difference between the two devices is the design. The Chinese brand has refreshed the rear panel to feature a pill-shaped module with a circular camera island on the S19 Pro. To recall, the S18 Pro offered a rectangular module that housed a square camera island. However, you still get the twin LED flash setup that includes a regular dual-tone flash and a larger soft LED lighting.

The front side hasn’t received as big of a change. Both devices sport a tall 6.78-inch curved AMOLED that offers Full HD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. The Vivo S18 Pro’s panel offers 2,800 nits of peak brightness, while the S19 Pro comes with an impressive 4,500 nits of peak brightness. Another upgrade is for water and dust resistance. This year’s model comes with an IP68/IP69K rating, while last year’s device comes with an IP54 rating.

2. Specifications: Same chip, but bigger battery

Vivo has brought back the MediaTek Dimensity 9200+, which was equipped on the Vivo S18 Pro, to the newer S19 Pro model as well. This is a high-end chip so you can expect similar performance between the two. The processor is also paired with up to 16GB of RAM and 512GB of internal storage.

Under the hood, the Vivo S18 Pro is powered by a 5,000mAh battery pack, which supports 18W fast charging. On the other hand, the Vivo S19 Pro houses a larger 5,500mAh battery pack with 80W wired fast charging as well. So you get a 10 percent bump in battery capacity with the newer model.

3. Camera

For optics, the two smartphones offer a 50-megapixel triple camera setup on the rear and a 50-megapixel selfie shooter on the front. The newer S19 Pro model gets an updated Sony IMX921 with OIS along with an 8-megapixel ultra wide angle lens and a 50-megapixel telephoto shooter that also offers OIS with 50x digital zoom.

Meanwhile, the S18 Pro offers the Sony IMX920 as the primary sensor with a 50-megapixel ultra wide angle lens, and a 12-megapixel telephoto shooter with 2x optical zoom. In other words, you can expect a slightly better primary camera with improvements in zoomed shots as well (at least on paper).

Pricing

After nearly half a year, the Vivo S19 series arrives more as a refresh than a complete successor. But there is still a slight price hike between the two lineups. The Vivo S18 Pro starts from 3,199 Yuan (roughly $450), while the S19 Pro starts from 3,299 Yuan (roughly $465). The former arrives in white, green, and black color variants, and the latter has Blue, Gray, and Green color options.

May 31, 2024

Huawei‘s upcoming flagship smartphone line is the Mate 70 series. While there haven’t been any official details, there have been constant leaks and rumors revealing possible details about the smartphones.

In the latest leak, Weibo tipster Smart Pikachu revealed that the Huawei Mate 70 series will retain the circular camera design of the Mate 60 series. This design has been a staple of the Mate line since the Mate 30 series, except for the Mate 50 series, which briefly used a plate-style module. It appears the Mate 70 series will follow the suit.

Additionally, the tipster revealed that the Huawei Mate 70 series will compete directly with the iPhone 16 series, not just in hardware features but also in terms of software features.

Smart Pikachu claims the Mate 70 series will feature advanced AI capabilities, focusing on AI imaging and “AI Life.” Apple is also rumored to introduce AI features in iOS 18 and the iPhone 16 series.

It will be interesting to see how these new phones compare on the AI front and whether or not it will help them gain market traction.

Besides this, we know very little about the Huawei Mate 70 series. Rumors so far suggest the line will use a new OmniVision CMOS sensor, a new Super Core Kirin chip that reportedly scores over 1 million points in benchmarking apps.

Moreover, the phones will likely boot on Huawei’s new operating system called HarmonyOS NEXT which won’t support Android apps altogether. Mate 70 is expected to be the first smartphone to come pre-installed with HarmonyOS NEXT out of the box.

Exclusive: Meizu Note 21 & Meizu Note 21 Pro to be launched soon

May 31, 2024

Known for its unique designs and innovative ideas, Meizu is making a name for itself with its smartphones. The company recently unveiled the Meizu 21 Note and Meizu 21 Pro. Now it’s preparing to introduce the Meizu Note 21 and Meizu Note 21 Pro with some exciting new features and a strange naming convention.

Meizu Note 21 and Meizu Note 21 Pro

The Gizmochina team is discovering the Meizu Note 21 and Meizu Note 21 Pro. The Meizu Note 21 Pro, spotted with model number “M412H“, is positioned as the premium option of the lineup, promising higher performance and advanced features. On the other hand, the Meizu Note 21 with model numbers “M411H” and “M411L” is likely a cropped version of the Pro model. The two different model numbers for the Note 21 suggest differences in memory and storage options, or maybe different versions for various regions.

One of the most important points about Meizu’s new Note series is the choice of chipset. The fact that the previous Meizu 21 series featured different flagship chipsets suggests that Meizu may continue this approach in the Note 21 series. Both Meizu Note 21 and Note 21 Pro are expected to be powerful and user-friendly and focus on delivering strong performance. With these models, Meizu aims to combine advanced technology and innovative solutions to meet the expectations of its users.

While specific details about camera specs, battery capacity, and software innovations for the Meizu Note 21 series are unknown, we can make some educated guesses based on past models. Meizu has a competitive track record in these areas, so the Note 21 series is likely to offer high-quality cameras for great photos and videos, as well as long-lasting battery life to ensure a seamless user experience.

The anticipation surrounding the Meizu Note 21 and Meizu Note 21 Pro is likely to create a stir in the tech world. While we don’t yet know the exact launch date, price, or detailed specifications, these new models are highly anticipated by fans. How the series will be received by users is a matter of great curiosity. We expect these upcoming models to further strengthen Meizu’s position in the smartphone market.

Exclusive: Xiaomi MIX FOLD 4 and Xiaomi MIX Flip satellite communication versions spotted

May 31, 2024

Xiaomi continues to attract attention with its innovative steps in the smartphone world. As expected, MIX FOLD 4 and MIX Flip satellite communication versions were spotted in our database. The technical specifications of the smartphones had already been leaked. Now, Gizmochina is leaking satellite communication versions of these models.

MIX FOLD 4 & MIX Flip satellite communication versions

Satellite communication differs from regular cellular communication as it connects through ground stations and satellites. This technology allows users to stay in contact, especially in areas with limited or no cellular coverage. While cellular networks are effective in densely populated areas such as cities and towns, it can be poor in mountainous, and rural areas. On the other hand, satellite communication provides reliable communication in all situations. That’s why it’s important for Xiaomi to launch devices with satellite communication. The MIX Flip and MIX FOLD 4 were confirmed with 2 different model numbers: 2405AVPB7C and 24076PX3BC. Of course, these models are exclusive to China.

Leaked Specifications of MIX FOLD 4 and MIX Flip

Oppo had launched the Reno 11F earlier this year as a new mid-range smartphone model. Now, it appears that a successor to this device is also in the works. A fresh certification sighting has confirmed the Reno 12F along with some of its features. So here are all the details.

Oppo Reno 12F spotted on FCC

The Chinese tech giant’s Reno 12F was seen on the FCC certification carrying the CPH2637 model number. This upcoming smartphone was listed with the VCB4JAUH and BLPA79 model numbers for its battery pack and charging adapter. On the TUV Rheinland database, the battery capacity and fast charging rates were also revealed. The BLPA79 is a 4,870mAh cell, which will likely be rated as 5,000mAh on the Reno 12F.

Meanwhile, the UL Demko certification confirmed that the VCB4JAUH charging adapter is a 45W wired fast charger. Just earlier today (31st May 2024), the Reno 12F was spotted on multiple certifications in different countries as well, which includes Malaysia’s SIRIM, India’s BIS, and UAE’s SIRIM. The Camera FV-5 database also confirmed some of its camera specifications, which is a 50-megapixel primary camera on the back with an f/1.8 aperture and 4mm focal length. The front houses a 50-megapixel camera with an f/2.4 aperture and a 3.2mm focal length.

The Reno 11F launched in markets like India as the rebranded Oppo F23 Pro. So it is also possible that the Reno 12F could arrive as the Oppo F25 Pro in the Indian market. This is all the information we have at the moment, so stick around for more updates.

Samsung Galaxy F55 5G: 5 Things You Should Know About This Phone

May 31, 2024

Samsung Galaxy F55 5G recently debuted in India with many exciting upgrades (that I’ll reveal later). If you’re considering buying this smartphone, make sure you know these 5 things to make a better purchase decision.

1. Standout Design

The Samsung Galaxy F55 5G with a vegan leather panel on the back appears slightly different in the crowded smartphone space filled with glass and metal panels. This adds a premium feel to the device, which is rarely seen among mid-range phones.

Because of the vegan leather finish, it offers a comfortable, grippy surface, making your phone less likely to slip out of your hands. Another plus point is that devices with vegan leather panels are more resistant to scratches and fingerprints than regular glass panels.

2. Impressive Software Support

Samsung is one of the best brands that offer extended software support to its smartphones. While many brands struggle to give 3 OS updates to their high-end devices, Samsung promises an impressive 4 OS updates to their mid-range phones, including the Galaxy F55 5G.

The Galaxy F55 5G ships with Android 14 out of the box with the One UI 6.1 custom skin at the top. So, it will get OS updates until Android 18.

Samsung’s software support is unmatched to most Android brands. It had the best software policy for Galaxy devices until Google announced 7 OS upgrades to the Pixel 8 series last year. However, that’s been matched by the Galaxy S24 series launched earlier this year.

3. Smooth AMOLED Display

The newest Galaxy F-series phone features an AMOLED display, you’d usually see in most mid-range phones. It’s a 6.7-inch screen with 1080 x 2400 pixels Full HD+ resolution and 120Hz refresh rate support for extra smoothness.

There’s a small punch-hole-style selfie camera. The display is flat with slim bezels all around for better content consumption. And the 1000 peak nits brightness should offer excellent visibility outdoors.

4. Performance-Friendly Device With Plenty of Storage

The performance of Galaxy F55 5G is ensured by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 processor. It’s a popular octa-core chip among mid-range phones that smoothly handles day-to-day tasks, as well as casual gaming.

The Snapdragon chip is built using Samsung’s 4nm process. It consists of one Cortex-A710 core clocked at 2.4 GHz, three Cortex-A710 cores clocked at 2.36 GHz, and the remaining four are Cortex-A510 with a clock speed of 1.8 GHz.

Samsung Galaxy F55 5G is offered in three storage options: 8GB + 128GB, 8GB + 256GB, and 12GB + 256GB. If the built-in storage isn’t sufficient, the microSD card slot can be used for up to 1TB of additional storage.

5. Fast Charging Support

Samsung Galaxy F55 5G is the first F-series phone to support 45W fast charging. Only a few Galaxy devices support 45W charging, and the F55 is one of them. However, it doesn’t support wireless or reverse wireless charging.

The device ships with a 5,000 mAh battery that should last for a day, at least.

These are the top things to know about the Samsung Galaxy F55 5G. For more details, check out the spec sheet below.

Motorola is set to launch an affordable smartphone soon, adding to its diverse lineup of high-quality devices. Recent leaks have revealed a few details about the upcoming device, generating excitement among Motorola Fans. Motorola’s affordable smartphone, codenamed “Kansas,” has surfaced online, hinting at a new budget-friendly option for consumers.

New Motorola phone: Kansas

According to Android Headlines, Motorola is working on a new phone that won’t feature high-end specs. Additionally, the codename “Kansas” suggests that the device will primarily be available in the US, as Kansas is a US state bordering Nebraska and Colorado. However, Motorola’s exact strategy is unclear yet, and the device may be available in different regions as well.

The upcoming “Kansas” device from Motorola is identified with model numbers XT2513-V, XT2513-1, XT2513-2, and XT2513-3. The “XT25” prefix suggests the device might launch in 2025. While the exact launch date is unknown, we expect the affordable phone to debut next year.

Motorola is known for releasing high-quality devices in both the premium and mid-range segments. Although it’s too early to discuss specifics about the upcoming device, such as technical specs and the exact launch date, we expect its release next year based on current information. Motorola continues to be a prominent player in the smartphone market, consistently delivering innovative products that cater to a wide range of consumers. Motorola released pretty solid foldable phones recently, and the company is good at releasing affordable options at a fair price.

Exclusive: TCL 50L 5G & TCL 50 Pro NXTPAPER 5G coming soon

TCL showed off its 50 series at the 2024 MWC event initially, with the official release of the TCL 50 series following in April 2024. TCL 50 series consists of the TCL 50 5G, TCL 50 SE, TCL 505, and TCL 501. It appears that TCL will soon introduce new additions to the TCL 50 series. Note that TCL actually introduces lots of devices in a phone lineup. For example, TCL 50 XL 5G was launched in the US earlier.

TCL 50L 5G & TCL 50 Pro NXTPAPER 5G

We spotted TCL’s work on two different phones in our database: “TCL 50L 5G” and “TCL 50 Pro NXTPAPER 5G” models. While the introduction date and specs for these phones are not yet available, we can confirm TCL started working on the smartphones. TCL 50L 5G carries the model number “T550K,” while TCL 50 Pro NXTPAPER 5G appears with the model number “T803E.”

In summary, our current knowledge about upcoming TCL phones is limited to model numbers and market names. TCL has previously introduced phones featuring the “NXTPAPER” display. There are some models with NXTPAPER display in TCL 50 series phones, including the previously unveiled TCL 40 NXTPAPER. TCL is known for innovative advancements in display technology. For instance, the NXTPAPER technology can reduce harmful blue light by 61% while maintaining sharp and vivid images. The earlier TCL 40 NXTPAPER model featured a FullHD resolution screen with a 90Hz refresh rate. Additionally, the company offers the NXTPAPER feature in some tablets as well.

TCL’s display innovations are remarkable; however, the phones they introduce may not necessarily boast high-end specs. For example, the regular TCL 50 5G model came with a MediaTek Dimensity 6100+ chipset and only offers a variant with 4GB of RAM. While we lack specific details on specs, the upcoming TCL 50L and TCL 50 Pro NXTPAPER models may also feature a MediaTek chipset.
