Earlier this month, a rumour emerged that LG was planning to release several 5G smartphones including the LG Q92 5G. That rumour is gathering traction as an LG model listed as Q92 has appeared on Google Play Console (via Gadgets Rewind). As usual, the Google Play Console listing includes a front render of the device. The render reveals the presence of a centrally placed single punch-hole which will house the selfie camera.

As per the listed details, the LG Q92 will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 765 chipset. The mobile platform is a fast mid-range ARM-based SoC. It is one of the first chipsets that integrate a 5G modem- the Snapdragon X5. The modem brings support for speeds of up to 3.7 / 1.6 Mbps (down- and upload) and mmWave and Sub-6. The processor also features the Adreno 620 GPU. The SoC will be paired with 6GB of RAM but we can’t say if that will be the base model.

The smartphone’s display will have an FHD+ resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels but the screen size is still unknown. Further, the Q92 will boot Android 10 OS out of the box.

LG is yet to officially release any details of the upcoming model. However, the Q92 5G is believed to be a cheaper alternative to the well-received LG Velvet 5G. If that be the case, we may likely see the smartphone launched soon.

The Moto G 5G has other features like a side-facing fingerprint reader, a dedicated hardware button for Google Assistant, and a 4,800mAh battery.

It is now being said that the XT2075-3 phone that was recently certified by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the U.S. could be the Moto G 5G. XDA stated that by running IMEI numbers that it came across in the FCC listing through an IMEI database revealed the “Moto G 5G Plus” moniker.

Previous reports revealed that a variant with model number XT2075-1 also exists. This variant could be heading to the U.S. through Verizon with Motorola Edge Lite moniker. Other markets like Europe, LATAM, the Middle East, and Japan may receive it as Moto G 5G or Moto G 5G Plus. There is a possibility that the Moto G 5G and Moto G5 Plus could be two different handsets.

The Lenovo-owned company recently confirmed that it will be holding an unveil event on July 7. It remains to be seen whether the company announces the Motorola Edge Lite / Moto G 5G phone at the event.

Qualcomm will be announcing its Snapdragon 875 next-generation flagship mobile chipset by the end of this year. And it seems that COVID-19 has not affected the company’s plan and everything seems to be on schedule.

As per the new reports, the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) has officially entered the production stage. It is based on the 5nm process and also includes the Snapdragon X60 5G baseband.

Compared to last month, the product capacity of the 5nm chips at the Nanke 18 factory has been increased by 10 percent to nearly 60,000 units in one month. As per the industry estimates, Qualcomm is investing 6,000 to 10,000 5nm wafers per month in TSMC.

Some estimates indicate that the Snapdragon 875 chipset could be delivered to Qualcomm somewhere around September. However, it remains to be seen when the company starts giving them to smartphone makers.

OnePlus made a sensational debut in the smartphone market with ‘flagship killer’ tagline for the OnePlus One phone in 2014. On Friday, the Carl Pei who is one of the co-founders of OnePlus reposted OnePlus One’s announcement tweet from 2014 along with text that read, “It’s been a while…” The handset had launched with an impressive price tag of $299. Probably, the tweet could be hinting the price of the OnePlus Z (or OnePlus Nord) mid-range 5G phone that is expected to debut next month.

It's been a while… https://t.co/O61EoIa3Gc

— Carl Pei (@getpeid) June 19, 2020

The OnePlus One came with a price tag of $299 for its 16 GB storage version. The higher 64 GB model came with a pricing of $349. Recently, the specifications of the upcoming mid-ranger from the company were spotted in a survey site in India. The listing didn’t confirm the name of the device. However, its details matched with the rumored specs of the OnePlus Z.  The listing stated that the phone is priced at Rs. 24,990 (~$328).

Hence, there is a possibility that the OnePlus Nord could be priced around $299 to $349 or under $399. If it arrives with a similar pricing, it could be a good rival for the iPhone SE 2020 that is available for $399 in the market.

Recent reports have revealed that Realme is gearing up to launch a phone called Realme X50t 5G in China. While Realme is yet to confirm its existence, it is speculated that its launch could be around the corner. The handset is a network variant of the Realme X50m 5G phone that debuted in May. 91mobiles has come across the Google Play Console listing of the Realme X50t. The listing suggests that it may break in the next few days.

A recent report had revealed that Motorola is working on the successor edition of Motorola Razr foldable phone that was made official in Q4 last year. The device is expected to go official around September this year. A recent leak had revealed the key specs of the device that is being dubbed as Motorola RAZR 2 by the rumor mill.  The specs leak did not carry any information on its display. Fresh information shared by Display Supply Chain Consultants (DSCC) CEO Ross Young reveals that the RAZR 2’s outer and inner screens will be larger than the predecessor model.

The Motorola RAZR has a 6.2-inch P-OLED foldable display that offers a 21:9 aspect ratio and it has a 2.7-inch external display for viewing notifications. Young said that the RAZR 2 will come with a larger inner display of 6.7 inches. Without revealing the exact details, he also mentioned that RAZR 2’s inner display will also increase in size.

The original RAZR did not support 5G connectivity. The successor model is expected to come with a 5G-ready Snapdragon 765 mobile platform. It’s a good upgrade since the original RAZR came with the older Snapdragon 710 SoC. The device may house a larger battery of 2,845mah capacity.

The RAZR 2 is expected to come with 8 GB of RAM and a built-in storage of 256 GB. It is likely to come with a front camera of 20-megapixel and its rear could be featuring the 48-megapixel GM1 sensor from Samsung.

The device will come preloaded with Android 10 OS. It is being built for users in China and North America.

The Motorola RAZR is a foldable phone that was announced last year but didn’t go on sale until a few months ago. Its rival is the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip – a phone with a similar vertically folding design but with significantly better specs. Now, key specs of the Motorola RAZR 2 (not official name) have leaked and they show Motorola will still be playing catch-up with Samsung’s own phone.

XDA-Developers reports that an unnamed source has revealed some key details about the 2nd-gen Motorola RAZR. According to their source, the phone will go by the codename “smith” and will have the model number “XT2071-4”.

Last year’s Motorola RAZR packs a Snapdragon 710 processor. The 2-year old chip has appeared in several devices but none with a price tag of $1499 as that of the RAZR. For its successor, Motorola is once again not going with a flagship processor but the Snapdragon 765 (not Snapdragon 765G).

The Snapdragon 765 is a 5G processor found in mid-range and upper mid-range devices. It is a more powerful processor than the Snapdragon 710 and it will be paired with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. While it has a 5G modem built-in, it still can’t beat the Snapdragon 855+ inside the Galaxy Z Flip.

The source says the processor will draw power from a 2845mAh battery which is a boost in capacity when compared to the 2510mAh capacity of the Motorola RAZR (2019). However, this is still smaller than the 3300mAh battery inside Samsung’s own foldable phone.

EDITOR’S PICK: Rumor: Huawei will launch an affordable foldable phone this year

The displays on both sides are said to be unchanged (for now) with respect to sizes but Motorola may adopt new technologies such as the use of UTG (Ultra Thin Glass) for the main screen.

With respect to cameras, the Motorola RAZR 2 will have a 48MP Samsung ISOCELL Bright GM1 sensor. Sorry, just a single camera again. The selfie camera has also been upgraded from 5MP to 20MP.

The phone will run Android 10 out of the box with Motorola’s own software additions. The Motorola RAZR 2 will launch in China and North America but should also launch in other markets such as India and Europe. Of course, it will have 5G support but XDA-Developers are skeptical it will support mmWave 5G networks due to the size of the antennas which take up space in devices.

There is a chance that the above specs may change before the launch of the phone which is expected to launch in September according to a Motorola executive. Nevertheless, Samsung seems to have the vertically-folding phone category under its belt as its phone offers better specs and a cheaper price tag.

The Galaxy A51 5G and Galaxy A71 5G phones went official in Vietnam back in December 2019. Both phones debuted as first Samsung phones powered by Exynos 980 5G chipset. In some markets, the South Korean company is selling 4G variants of both phones. The company is expected to launch the Galaxy A51 5G and Galaxy A71 5G smartphones in the U.S. Fresh information shared by XDA Developers reveals that the U.S. edition of the Galaxy A71 5G will be driven by Snapdragon 765 SoC.

The Verizon variant of the Galaxy A71 5G has surfaced on the database of the Bluetooth SIG platform. The model number of the device is SM-A716V. The publication revealed after investigating the publicly available database for upcoming devices with online services from Verizon, it could come across “Samsung_a71xq” text. Here, “x” refers to a 5G device and “q” means it is fueled by a Snapdragon chipset.

The Geekbench listing of the U.S. variant of the Galaxy A71 5G has revealed that it is powered by a Qualcomm SoC that has a base frequency of 1.80GHz. Since Qualcomm offers Snapdragon 765 and 765G as the 5G chipset for powering mid-range phones, there is a possibility that the Galaxy A71 5G for the U.S. may include any of the two chipsets. The Verizon variant of the Galaxy A71 5G may come with mmWave support, while the non-Verizon models may lack it.

The publication has claimed that the Verizon and non-Verizon variants of the Galaxy A71 5G may break cover in the U.S. in June or July. The rest of the specs of the A71 5G for the U.S. could be the same as its 5G variant available in other countries.

The Google Pixel 4a is expected to go official at some point in this month. After its launch, the focus will shift to the Google Pixel 5 series arriving later this year. The Google Pixel line of smartphones was introduced in 2017. All the predecessor Pixel phones have featured flagship chipsets from Qualcomm. Some reports have revealed that the search engine giant will adopt a different strategy for the Pixel 5 series. Rumors have it that they will not be coming as flagship smartphones. XDA has reported that it has found evidences in the EUICCGoogle APK available in Android 11 Developer Preview 4 that Pixel 5 will be powered by Snapdragon 765 or Snapdragon 768 SoC.

In January, it was found that upcoming Pixel phones are codenamed as Sunfish, Bramble, and Redfin. The Sunfish phone is said to be the upcoming Snapdragon 730 powered Pixel 4a phone. The Bramble and Redfin are codenames of flagship Pixel phones arrive later this year. These phones are expected to break cover as Pixel 5 and Pixel 5 XL. Initial code discovered at the beginning of the year revealed that the Snapdragon 765 SOC will be powering both smartphones.

XDA has come across the “g7250” modem in the “modem_model_mappings_json” string found in the EUICCGoogle APK. The “g7250” text seems to be Google’s codename for SD765 or SD765 or SD768 SoCs. Also, Android Police’s Editor-in-Chief David Ruddock claimed citing information his source that he Snapdragon 765 powers the Pixel 5.

Recently, a screenshot of the survey on Google Opinion Rewards was shared by Reddit user. The survey asked users to choose between an upcoming mid-range Pixel priced at $349 and a premium Pixel smartphone priced at $699. The $349 phone seems to be Pixel 4a whereas the $699 priced device could be the Pixel 5. This pricing is $100 cheaper the pricing of predecessor Pixel 4 and Pixel 3 phones that came with flagship processors. The reduced pricing for Pixel 5 is another hint that it will not feature the Snapdragon 865 flagship chipset.

Out goes MediaTek and in comes Qualcomm! A fresh leak has revealed that OnePlus has decided to go with a Qualcomm processor for its upcoming OnePlus Z smartphone and not a MediaTek processor as earlier reports have said.

The info was revealed by Max J. (@MaxJmb), the same leaker that reconfirmed that the OnePlus Z will launch in July. According to a tweet he shared today, the OnePlus Z is powered by a Snapdragon 765 processor with support for 5G.

Earlier leaks had said the OnePlus Z will have MediaTek’s Dimensity 1000/1000L processor under the hood but that seems to have changed. Could it have been that the info was incorrect? Maybe, maybe not.

It is possible that OnePlus originally decided to use one of MediaTek’s new 5G processors but changed its mind. Since the launch is still two months away, there is still enough time for such a major change to happen as long as mass production is yet to commence. However, the reason for changing from MediaTek to Qualcomm can be for a myriad of reasons.

Did Qualcomm offer OnePlus a better deal on the price of its Snapdragon 765 chipset? Did OnePlus, itself, decide to switch to a Snapdragon processor for reasons unknown to us? Is the Dimensity 1000 towing the same line as the ill-fated Helio X30 from a few years ago? We can come up with a lot more questions.

The Snapdragon 765 is a powerful mid-range processor but it still doesn’t match the Dimensity 1000L in terms of performance talk less of the Dimensity 1000. Nevertheless, we are sure there are lots of folks out there that are happy at the news that the OnePlus Z has a Snapdragon processor. Are you one of them? Let us know in the comment box.

Qualcomm announced the Snapdragon 865 and Snapdragon 765 SoCs in December 2019 at the company’s annual conference called Snapdragon Tech Summit. Now, as they are available on a variety of devices, the San Diego-based company has begun to share the source code of these mobile platforms on the Code Aurora Forum (CAF).

The Snapdragon 865 and Snapdragon 765 are the mainstream chipsets from Qualcomm for the year 2020. These chipsets are capable of offering 5G connectivity to smartphones at the higher-end as well as those in the mid-tier. Just within a quarter, consumers now have various devices that are powered by the above-mentioned chips.

Apart from sharing modified kernels, AOSP framework, and other software tools to its partners (OEMs) as part of Board Support Package (BSP), Qualcomm also distributes certain source code for the community on its Code Aurora Forum (CAF).

Qualcomm publishes CAF releases for all of its chipsets publicly and updates them from time to time. These source code releases contain SoC-specific kernel changes and the AOSP framework for better optimization. Thus, custom ROM developers and users prefer CAF-based ROMs as they are theoretically better optimized and stable compared to AOSP-based ROMs 

Now, as CAF sources are out for Snapdragon 865 and Snapdragon 765, we can expect developers to build custom ROMs based on them in the coming days.

Redfin and Bramble – Purported Google Pixel 4a XL

The Redfin codenamed device is being developed on the sm7250 and Android 10. The sm7250 is the codename of the Snapdragon 765 mobile platform. Since the SoC is integrated with 5G modem, it will be a 5G smartphone. The phone is being by manufacturer by FIH Mobile ODM, a subsidiary of Foxconn.

The Bramble codename was initially thought to be a Snapdragon 865 mobile platform. However, since it is running on Linux kernel version 4.19, it is not a SD865 device. As SD765 should be also based on Linux kernel vision 4.19, it could be based on sm7250 like the Redfin smartphone. There is no evidence on whether it is an ODM device. Like the Redfin, it is also being developed on Android and Android 11. There is a possibility that the Redfin or Bramble could end up as a 5G enabled Pixel 4a smartphone. Among Redfin and Bramble, one of them could be a commercial device whereas the other one could be a development board.
