Month: April 2022

Realme had a big today in India as it introduced five new products in the country – Realme GT 2 Pro, Realme 9 (4G), Realme Buds Air 3, Realme Book Prime, and Realme Smart TV Stick. And towards the end of the event, Realme VP, Mr. Madhav Sheth, announced that the vanilla GT 2 will launch in India during the company’s fourth anniversary, which will be celebrated on May 4.

Mr. Sheth later took to Twitter to announce that the GT Neo3 is also coming soon to India. The company VP didn’t explicitly mention the smartphone’s name, but the post’s caption and the short video clip attached leave little to the imagination. The latter also suggests that Realme will bring the GT Neo3’s cool Le Mans version to India.

The Realme GT 2 was unveiled in February alongside the GT 2 Pro. It comes with the Snapdragon 888 SoC, 6.62″ 120Hz FullHD+ AMOLED screen, 50MP triple camera, 5,000 mAh battery, and 65W charging.

The Realme GT Neo3, unveiled last month, is powered by the Dimensity 8100 chip, features a slightly bigger 120Hz FullHD+ AMOLED panel, and sports a 50MP triple camera system on the rear. But, its biggest highlight is the 150W charging, advertised to fill the 4,500 mAh battery up to 50% in just 5 minutes. There’s also an 80W version of the phone, which packs a 5,000 mAh cell.

We know the 150W variant will launch in India, but it’s unclear if Realme will also bring the GT Neo3’s 80W version to its biggest market or skip it. We’ll hopefully find that out soon. In the meantime, you can head this way to check out the GT 2 and GT Neo3’s detailed specs.

In addition to introducing new products in India at today’s event, Realme announced that it will open the world’s first Realme flagship store in India soon. It will be located in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, but the young brand didn’t reveal where exactly.

The Oppo K10 series is ready to enter the smartphone market, seven months after the arrival of the K9 lineup. The first phone will be the Oppo PGIM10, which is going to sell as Oppo K10 Pro. The device was posted on TENAA, with specs and images showing that it is a mid-range competitor.

The chipset of the Oppo K10 Pro will be Snapdragon 888, as the CPU frequency is listed as 2. 8 GHz. RAM will be 8GB or 12GB, and storage choices are 128GB and 256GB. There is a 6. 62″ AMOLED screen with 1080p resolution, and a fingerprint scanner underneath.

Oppo will stick to a triple-camera solution, but the design is now closer to the Reno7 series with two big circles positioned vertically, while a third one will be on the side. The sensors for the main camera will have 50MP resolution, while the ultrawide snapper will do 8MP stills. There’s also a 2MP unit, which is either a macro camera or a depth sensor. The selfie camera resolution is 16MP.

The battery capacity is listed by TENAA as 2,440mAh, but this is just one of the two cells in the device. The minimal charge is 4,880mAh, meaning the typical will be 5,000 mAh. The PGIM10 phone was already certified at 3C with 80W fast charging capabilities.

The phone is expected to arrive later this month.

Realme announced the Realme 9 Pro+ in February with three color options and teased a Free Fire Limited Edition of the smartphone without getting into the details. We don’t have the Realme 9 Pro+ Free Fire Edition’s launch date yet, but a new leaked image of the smartphone’s sketch gives us a glimpse of its design.

You can see that the Realme 9 Pro+ Free Fire Edition’s rear panel has a slightly different design. The Realme branding is moved from the bottom-left to the center of the panel, which also has the Free Fire logo now.

What’s also changed is the camera island’s design, which now has the text “Booyah” written on its left side, and the back cover also has some new design accents, flanking the Realme logo.

The Realme 9 Pro+ Free Fire Edition will likely share the specs with the regular version, but it could come with a Free Fire theme.

Realme 9 Pro+ Sunrise Blue color version

It’s unclear when the Realme 9 Pro+ Free Fire Edition will go on sale. The source says that the phone will be launched in India (Realme’s largest market), where there is no Free Fire Game.

While we wait for Realme to reveal more details about the Realme 9 Pro+ Free Fire Edition, you can read our Realme 9 Pro+ regular model’s review here or watch the video review linked below.

Germany’s tech exhibition has made it clear that they will return to in-person events later this year. Taking place from September 2 through 6 in Berlin, IFA will be back in 2022 to showcase the latest developments in consumer electronics, home appliances, information technology, and telecommunications.

Now it is time to get real and organize another full-sized trade show on the grounds Messe Berlin. This city, which has been a capital of Europe’s biggest consumer markets, and also evolved into a European media center, has already committed its participation. We are seeing high interest in the IFA Fitness & Digital Health section and Home Appliances area as of right now.” – Jens Hethercker – IFA Executive director, Executive Vice President Messe Berlin Group

Today’s news comes after IFA was cancelled in 2021 due to uncertainty of COVID-19. “The industry has a strong desire to return to an in-person event, and we are committed to making that a reality in Berlin this September in a safe and successful manner,” says Martin Ecknig, CEO of the Messe Berlin – the venue where IFA normally takes place.

The Messe venue is now opening for the first tradeshow with limited COVID-19 restrictions. As of April 1 2022, visitors will be able to attend major events in Berlin without presenting proof of testing or vaccination. At Berlin’s next tradeshow (Fruit Logistica from April 5-7), visitors from more than 115 countries have purchased tickets.

With this news from Berlin, it certainly feels like the world is returning to the days before a global pandemic. We did have an in-person CES this year, and although many brands dropped out amidst the omicron-variant outbreak, the show went on, though with many restrictions including a vaccine and mask requirements.

Back in February, Motorola made the Moto G Stylus (2022) official, but like last year, there’s a separate 5G version coming too. This will be known as the Moto G Stylus 5G (2022), and it’s been leaked today.

The device is said to be powered by the Snapdragon 695 SoC, and will allegedly have a 5,000 mAh battery. The Moto G Stylus 5G (2022) will be offered in two colors: black and Seafoam Green. It’s reportedly codenamed Milan 5G, and the base model will come with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage.

The Moto G Stylus 5G (2022) has a 6. 78-inch 1080×2460 LCD touchscreen with 120 Hz refresh rate, and a centered punch-hole housing a 16 MP selfie camera. The display goes up to 650 nits of brightness in high brightness mode (otherwise only to 450 nits).

On the rear there’s a 50 MP primary shooter with OIS, an 8 MP ultrawide with autofocus for macro shots, and a 2 MP depth sensor. The phone retains a 3. 5mm headphone jack, and it runs Android 12.

Back in November of last year, the upcoming successor to the OnePlus Nord N10 mid-ranger from 2020 was outed in all its glory through some CAD-based renders. Months have passed, and the Nord N20 still isn’t official, but that will change very soon.

Today OnePlus gave PCMag the image you can see below, which is an official render of the device. As usual, it turns out the leaks were on point – the design here is the same.

Alongside the image, the Chinese company also revealed that the handset would feature SuperVOOC fast charging and outed the specs of the Nord N20’s screen. It will be a 60 Hz AMOLED panel with an in-display fingerprint sensor. It’s a 6. 43″ screen with FHD+ resolution. While OnePlus COO Kinder Liu didn’t outright say it, PCMag speculates that it was either going to be this 60 Hz AMOLED or a 90 Hz LCD panel instead, and the company picked the former over the latter.

The Nord N20 seems heavily targeted at the North American market, with Liu saying that the screen “offers low power consumption as well as better contrast, more vivid colors, and a wider color gamut than what is currently on sale in the North America affordable device market”.

That focus is no accident: the OnePlus Nord line has been a best seller at T-Mobile and MetroPCS since the N10 and N100 hit the shelves in February of last year. OnePlus sold more than 2. 5 million Nord phones in the US last year.

Other rumored specs for the Nord N20, which OnePlus wouldn’t officially confirm at this stage, include the Snapdragon 695 SoC, a 48 MP main camera, an 8 MP ultrawide, 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, and weirdly enough OxygenOS 11 based on Android 11 on board even though it’s 2022 already. Anyway, the phone should become available in the US before the end of this month.
