The display is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 3, and the back has a glass finish with a round camera island housing an 8MP main camera and an auxiliary lens. For selfies, there is a 5MP front camera.

The Redmi A3x comes with 3GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage, with the option to expand the RAM virtually up to 4 GB. Keeping all things powered is a 5000mAh battery that supports 10W charging.

May 23, 2024

According to a recent tip from Digital Chat Station (DCS), the OnePlus will focus on improvements in performance, battery life, and camera for its next flagship.

DCS suggests that the OnePlus 13 could be one of the first smartphones to sport the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor. Although the Xiaomi 15 series is expected to be the very first to debut this new SoC, the OnePlus 13 might follow shortly after.

OnePlus 13 is tipped to feature a new single-point ultrasonic fingerprint sensor and advanced silicon anode battery technology. DCS suggests the battery has a “huge capacity”, so we can expect it to be bigger than the OnePlus 12.

The leak also suggests that the phone will retain a large display, possibly a 6.8-inch 2K LTPO OLED panel with a slight curve.

The camera system is expected to get an upgrade as well. While specifics are lacking, DCS mentions a triple-camera setup with an improved periscope lens.

Samsung is expected to hold a launch event in July to unveil its next foldable phones. Reports have claimed that the brand is also planning the Galaxy Z Fold 6 will be joined by another model named the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra. However, a new leak suggests that the Ultra variant may remain exclusive to only one country.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra may not launch globally

In a recent X post, popular leaker Evan Blass revealed that the South Korean tech giant will announce multiple devices in the near future. These include: Galaxy Book 4 Edge, Galaxy Book 4 Edge Pro, Galaxy Buds 3, Galaxy Buds 3 Pro, Galaxy Ring, Galaxy Watch FE, Galaxy Watch 7, and Galaxy Watch 7 Ultra. The leaker did not specify whether the announcement of these devices would take place at the same event. However, speculation suggests that the Galaxy Unpacked event, reportedly taking place on July 10 in Paris, France, will be the venue for their unveiling.

The Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 are also expected to launch on July 10. However, the unveiling of the Z Fold 6 Ultra at the same event remains unclear. Previous reports suggest that Samsung is developing the Z Fold 6 Ultra, bearing the SF-F958N model number, specifically for the South Korean market. Usually, unofficial details of upcoming Samsung devices heading to the global market emerge before their Korean variants. While information about the Z Fold 6 Ultra’s existence in the South Korean market has emerged, there is no clarity about its global versions. Hence, it still appears that the device may not launch outside of South Korea.

At present, there is no information about the difference between the Galaxy Z Fold Ultra and its standard version. Samsung’s Ultra models are known to offer better specifications in terms of display, battery, and cameras when compared to the standard and Plus variants. The same can be expected from the Z Fold 6 Ultra.

Its innovative design allows you to open and close the case while it’s standing upright, providing quick and easy access to your belongings. The multifunctional front compartment is particularly versatile. It can accommodate a 15.6-inch laptop, with dedicated storage sections on either side for digital devices like tablets and computers, as well as a compartment with three pockets for frequently used documents and accessories.

The bag also has a wet-item storage and an embedded TSA custom lock.

For your travel essentials, the main compartment offers ample space and features a double U-shaped zipper closure to prevent items from falling out. There’s even a dedicated wet item storage layer to help you stay organized.

The Xiaomi Mijia 20-inch front-opening laptop case prioritizes both style and durability. The main shell is constructed from a multi-layer composite Covestro PC material, while the front cover utilizes reinforced EVA material for enhanced impact resistance. For smooth rolling, the case is equipped with larger diameter universal wheels with upgraded internal components for better flexibility. An embedded TSA customs lock adds an extra layer of security for your belongings.

It seems like the front opening design allows access to the main compartment without laying the case flat, potentially with a zipper or buckle closure on the front. The case might also have a shoulder strap or handles for easy carrying, considering its size and travel focus. What do you guys think about this product in the Mijia line?

Chinese drone manufacturer and global drone leader DJI has officially launched the Mini 4K drone in China. The DJI Mini 4K comes with upgraded imaging capabilities compared to the Mini 2 SE. While the new model supports up to 4K/30fps video, the Mini 2 SE supports up to 2.7K/30fps video. This seems to be the only upgrade on this new model while retaining other features found on the Mini 2 SE. Well, of course, it retails for a decent 1,499 yuan ($207) in China. This is lower than the prices in the US and other markets.

Features

The DJI Mini 4K is a lightweight drone, weighing just 249 grams. It can take off in most countries and regions around the world without training or testing. It supports one-click takeoff and landing, and automatic return. It is a beginner drone, suitable for novices. You get a pretty decent battery life of 31 minutes of flight time on a single charge. This can be extended to 93 minutes if the video is not put to use.

For an affordable drone, the Mini 4K comes with some spectacular features like a three-axis mechanical gimbal and Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS). It also supports intelligent shooting modes such as one-click short films and panoramic photos, so novices can also easily create aerial blockbusters. It also comes with one-click short video shoot support as well as fade, spiral, soar, surround, and comet modes. With just two taps on the screen, the Mini 4K will automatically shoot and generate a short video with several available filters and soundtracks. Users can share it directly or edit the video in the app. The measured image transmission distance is up to 10 kilometers.

For still photography, the Mini 4K can capture panoramic shots in wide-angle, 180°, and spherical panorama modes. With a tap, the drone can automatically complete shooting and post-processing, and also generate high-resolution panoramic masterpieces.

Furthermore, the Mini 4K is equipped with four brushless motors, has up to level 5 wind resistance, and can take off at an altitude of 4,000 meters. The drone has a built-in GNSS module, a downward visual perception system, and an infrared perception system, which allows it to attain stable hovering and accurately identify obstacles below.

Pricing & Availability

The DJI mini 4K is available in China for 1499 yuan ($207) via Jingdong (JD.com). The Mini 4K was launched last month and is presently available in the US via Amazon for $299 with the fly more combo costing almost twice.
