The Honor Magic4 Lite has quietly arrived on the scene. This is not a new device, it’s just a new name for the Honor X30, which is also available as the Honor X9 5G.

The Magic4 Lite model so far appears only in France with only one memory configuration – 6/128 GB. There are three colorways to choose from, Ocean Blue, Titanium Silver and Midnight Black.

The phone is powered by the Snapdragon 695. Note that the Magic4 Lite and X9 5G variants come with Google Play services, while the X30 is for China skips the Google stuff.

The display is fairly large with a 6. 81″ diagonal, the IPS LCD panel has 1,080 x 2,388 px resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. The camera on the back may be designed to mimic the impressive Magic4, but the setup is quite basic – a 48MP main camera, a 2MP macro and 2MP depth sensor. The camera on the front has a 16MP sensor.

One thing that the Lite shares with the premium Magic4 is the battery – 4,800 mAh capacity and 66W fast charging. This should be fast enough to get to 80% in 30 minutes.

There’s no pricing for the Honor Magic4 Lite yet, but you can keep an eye on the official store. The Honor X9 5G version launched in Malaysia at RM 1,300 (EUR275/$310).

The Honor family will continue growing tomorrow. The Honor Play 6T series is expected to launch in China tomorrow (April 7). Official details are scarce, but we expect to see a couple of devices (we’ve heard talk of Dimensity 800 and Snapdragon 778G chipsets).

Twitter has a new top shareholder in the face of Elon Musk, and the first thing he did after acquiring 9. 2% of the company asked its followers whether they wanted an Edit button. After 4 million votes, the result was overwhelming – 73. 6% voted “yse”, which is in favor adding the feature.

Today, the Communications team of the social media revealed the company devs have been working on the Edit feature since 2021, and testing is coming in “the coming months”.

Twitter already revealed it was working on an Edit button back on April 1, but everyone was suspicious about the statement given the calendar date. Communications posted a GIF revealing the location of the Edit Tweet button. It can be found in the Triple Dot Menu, just under Add/Remove From Lists.

Jay Sullivan, head of consumer products, said it was “the most requested Twitter feature for many years”. The team needs to figure out how it should be done properly, he said.

The beta feature for Twitter Blue Premium users will be available first. It will be available to all regular users once there has been enough feedback about “what works”, what doesn’t and what is possible.”

Samsung unveiled the Galaxy M12 last February, and it’s expected to announce the Galaxy M13 5G soon since the smartphone reportedly entered production in India last month. While we await more details from Samsung about the Galaxy M13 5G, its leaked images likely coming from the production unit give us an idea of what the smartphone will look like.

You can see that the Samsung Galaxy M13 5G’s back panel has three holes – the two big ones are for the cameras, and the smaller one is likely for the flash. This is surprising since the Galaxy M12’s Indian and global variants sported quad camera setups.

That said, like the Galaxy M12, the M13 5G also has the SIM card slot on its left-side frame, with the volume rocker and power key on the right. This model could include a fingerprint reader for biometric authentication.

The Galaxy M13 5G has a USB-C port at the bottom joined by a speaker, and the smartphone could have a polycarbonate body. One of the images shared by the source reveals the M13 5G has model designation SM-M135F.

More details about the Samsung Galaxy M13 5G should surface in the coming days.

Samsung has launched its flagship smartphones with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon and its own Exynos chips until now, but a new media report claims the Korean conglomerate is considering using MediaTek’s chipsets for its upcoming flagships, meaning we could see the Galaxy S23 have a MediaTek SoC at the helm.

However, the source says that not all the Galaxy S23 units will have a MediaTek SoC under the hood. These will be used by Samsung only on the Asian models. The report further claims that about half of the Galaxy S22 Fan Edition (FE) units will also be powered by the Taiwanese company’s chips.

It’s not clear at this time which MediaTek chips Samsung will be using for these phones, however it is worth noting that Samsung previously used MediaTek chipsets in its lower-end smartphones.
