An Amazon India landing page that has been live for some time has been teasing the arrival of Acer smartphones. Today, the updated page officially confirmed that Acer will announce its new phones on April 15 in India. For those unfamiliar, the launch is being handled by Indkal Technologies, a company that has a trademark licensing agreement with Acer Incorporated, the global ICT giant known for its innovation and quality products. Under this partnership, Indkal will design, manufacture, and distribute Acer smartphones exclusively for the Indian market.

Ahead of the April 15 announcement, we have exclusive information about an upcoming Acer smartphone. While it’s still unclear how many devices will launch on the said date, the details we are sharing here specifically pertain to the phone being teased with a circular camera module on the Amazon India landing page.

64MP triple camera setup in its price segment

The upcoming 5G-enabled Acer smartphone will feature a triple rear camera unit led by a 64-megapixel Sony sensor. The primary camera is expected to be accompanied by an ultra-wide lens and a macro or depth sensor — a combination that’s rarely seen in this price segment, especially on a 5G phone.

While many smartphones in higher price brackets have started to scale back to dual-lens modules, Acer appears ready to stand out by offering a high-quality triple camera system that could challenge expectations in the segment.

AI-powered photography and low-light enhancements

According to our sources, the 64-megapixel Sony sensor is designed to deliver excellent image performance even in low-light conditions. The device will also include AI-based photo enhancements such as improved noise reduction, enhanced edge detection, vivid color tuning, and better front camera processing across lighting scenarios.

With most phones in this segment compromising on camera hardware, Acer’s decision to go with a capable triple-lens setup, backed by AI, may help it carve a unique identity in the crowded 5G budget market. If executed well, it could put notable pressure on rival brands and mark a strong beginning for Acer’s smartphone journey in India.

Samsung leads the foldable smartphone category with its Galaxy Z series. Currently, the company sells two types of foldable phones and both of them have a single hinge. However, there have been reports in the past regarding a tri-fold Galaxy tablet. According to our source, such a device is indeed in development and may launch as soon as next year.

GizmoChina has partnered with tipster Yogesh to bring you fresh information about the upcoming Samsung tri-fold tablet. As per our source, this device will launch as Galaxy Z Fold Tab in Q1 2022.

The previous leak about this product suggested that it will be releasing in 2021. Unfortunately, that will not be the case. However, we may or may not see a teaser for it during the Galaxy Z Fold3 and Galaxy Z Flip3 launch event, which could take place in early August. This is still being debated by Samsung’s marketing team.

Further, the main highlight of the Galaxy Z Fold Tab apart from its tri-folding capability will be support for hybrid S Pen. This stylus will make its debut alongside the Galaxy Z Fold3 in a few months from now. Unfortunately, we do not have any information about this Bluetooth-enabled stylus except that it will be different from the older S Pens.

Lastly, the forthcoming tri-fold tablet will also sport a better UTG (ultra-thin glass) than the current generation. This new thickened reinforced glass will be introduced in the Galaxy Z Fold2 successor. Essentially, the Galaxy Z Fold3 will be a testbed for Samsung’s first folding tablet.

Anyway, the above-mentioned specifics of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold Tab stand true only as of the current development cycle. The final product may vary depending on changes undertaken by the engineering team in the next few months before the design is finalized.

OnePlus and Epic Games are partnering up again, bringing us some new and exclusive content for its popular title, Fortnite. For those that own an OnePlus smartphone, you can now claim an exclusive Bhangra Boogie emote as of right now.

The move from Epic Games could also be seen as the inclusion of Southeast Asian pop culture into its game, which already has ample western pop culture references and emotes. At the moment, the emote is exclusive to OnePlus owners. Unfortunately, it is unknown if this just a limited time exclusive and if the item will be available in the Item Shop later on for other prospective buyers.

To get the item, one would have to own an OnePlus 3 or any handset that came after it. Go to oneplus.com/fortnite, follow the necessary steps after logging in, and you should have the new emote the next time you open the game.
