Oppo introduced its new flagship series Find X5 last month. We have the Pro model of the range in review, but we now have the vanilla phone. It is a more affordable alternative to the Find X5 Pro, but it shares many of its standout features. After our initial contact, here’s what we found most impressive about the phone.

The Oppo Find X5 is a cool looking phone, and while we cannot call it small or compact, it is a lot easier to handle than the Find X5 Pro. The display diagonal is 6. 55″ with FullHD+ resolution and 120Hz refresh rate and it looks great.

Unlike the Pro that has the latest Qualcomm chipset the Find X5 has the Snapdragon 888 from last year – the one that powers the Find X3 Pro. However, it does have the new MariSilicon X NPU, that should significantly boost the image quality of its cameras.

The primary camera has the same 50MP 1/1. 56″ sensor as the X5 Pro, but has a slightly slower F/1. 8 lens and drops the sensor-shift stabilization though OIS is still present.

We do love the 80W fast charging in the Find X5, and since the battery is 4,800 mAh, we expect some super-quick speeds from 0 to 100%. There’s also 30W wireless charging and 10W reverse charging support.

The best thing about the Oppo Find X5 is that it will be available globally, unlike the Find X3. Once the review is done we’ll let you know if the EUR999 asking price makes for a great deal or if you are better off spending your money elsewhere.

Last November, we saw a render of a Motorola smartphone codenamed “Austin,” having a centered punch hole display and a triple camera system on the rear headlined by a 50MP camera. Today, we are looking at a set of new renders which not only corroborate Austin’s design but also give us our best look yet at it.

These images come courtesy of leakster OnLeaks, who collaborated with Prepp.in and revealed that the marketing name of Motorola Austin is Moto G 5G (2022).

The source also said that the Motorola Moto G 5G (2022) has model code XT2213, and its screen measures 6. 6″ diagonally. The smartphone is powered by the Snapdragon 750G SoC and will run Android 11 out of the box, which is a bummer since Android 12 has been around for months now and Google has already dropped a couple of developer previews of Android 13.

The Moto G 5G (2022) has a volume rocker on the right-side frame, joined by a power button that doubles as a fingerprint scanner. At the bottom is the USB-C port, flanked by a speaker, microphone, and a 3. 5mm headphone jack.

The source claims that the Moto G 5G (2022) is 9. 3mm thick (10. 7mm with the camera bump) and is expected to come with 4GB RAM, 128GB storage (expandable up to 512GB), and a 5,000 mAh battery.

The 50MP primary camera on the back will be joined by 8MP and 2MP cameras, with the former likely being an ultrawide unit and the latter a macro/depth unit. However, do note that these specs aren’t final or confirmed.

The Motorola Moto G 5G (2022) is expected to come in Volcanic Grey and Frosted Silver colors and launch in June, starting at INR22,990 ($300/EUR275).

The Realme GT Neo3 arriving on March 22 is already confirmed to come with the Dimensity 8100 SoC and 150W charging. Today, the company announced it will pack a 120Hz screen with a 1000Hz touch sampling rate.

Realme didn’t divulge the display’s resolution and size, but thanks to TENAA, we know it’s a FullHD+ AMOLED screen measuring 6. 7″ diagonally with a fingerprint reader underneath.

Realme previously said that the GT Neo3 will have vapor chamber cooling, LPDDR5 RAM, and UFS 3. 1 storage onboard. The company also claims that the GT Neo3’s dual-cell battery will go from flat to 50% in just five minutes and retain 80% capacity after 1,600 charge/discharge cycles.

With the event just three days away, we are unlikely to see Realme drop more teasers revealing GT Neo3’s features, but in the meantime, you can head this way to check out its specs revealed by TENAA.

Xiaomi’s Poco began the global rollout of Android 12-based MIUI 13 for the Poco X3 Pro earlier this month, and India is the latest market to receive the company’s newest custom Android skin.

The update has version number 13.0. 1.0.SJUINXM and requires a download of 3.1GB. It comes with the February 2022 Android security patch and allows apps to be opened as floating windows from the sidebar. The new firmware also enhances the accessibility support for the Phone, Clock, and Weather apps.

However, the source claims that the MIUI 13 update is currently only seeding to X3 Pro units enrolled in the Mi Pilot program, so if you are not a part of it, you’ll have to wait for Poco to release the update for everyone.

Oppo will introduce the K10 in India on March 23, and the company has already revealed its design and a few specs, including the Snapdragon 680 SoC, 50MP primary camera, 16MP selfie shooter, side-mounted fingerprint reader, dual-SIM support, dedicated microSD card slot, and virtual RAM expansion.

Oppo will reveal the K10’s battery size and charging speed on Monday, but if a new media report is to be believed, the smartphone will pack a 5,000 mAh cell with 33W charging.

The source also claims that the Oppo K10 will sport a 6. 5″ 90Hz FullHD+ LCD, boot Android 11-based ColorOS 11. 1, and have 6GB RAM and 128GB of storage onboard.

The 50MP primary camera on the rear will be joined by 2MP depth and 2MP macro units.

The Oppo K10 will be sold through Flipkart in India, and the source claims it will be priced under INR20,000 ($265/EUR240).

Motorola may not have been quick to commence its updates to Android 12, but it sure plans to update a lot of phones – as announced all the way back in December. We’ve moved on to a better model today after the ball started rolling with a phone starting at 2020, last month.

That is the Moto G30, released almost exactly one year ago. This device is now in the process of receiving its update to Android 12, and the rollout has started in Brazil, which is one of Motorola’s most important markets.

G30 users over there have reported getting the update notification left and right. It’s a 1. 09 GB download, the new software, and it’s identified as version S0RCS32.41-10-9-2. It’s currently arriving on the dual-SIM version of the Brazilian Moto G30, the one with model number XT2129-1-DS. Aside from all the goodies that Android 12 packs, this one also comes with the February 2022 security patches. Although it’s a month late, this smartphone is still a good choice for mid-range smartphones.

Now that the update is out in one market, we’re hoping that in the next few days (or weeks, tops) it will make its way to all of the countries where the Moto G30 is sold.

Quick: what is a computer? Is a tablet a computer? Or is a tablet just… a tablet? These are the important questions Apple is tackling in its latest TV ad for its latest tablet: the new iPad Air, officially unveiled at the company’s spring event last week.

We’re only half joking here, by the way. The ad doesn’t actually tackle those questions, but (spoiler alert!) it does end with the “Your next computer is not a computer” message. But isn’t it, though?

Anyway, looks like the company still clings to some remnants of the “post-PC” buzzword (buzzphrase?) from back in the day. And the point of the rest of the ad seems to be quite obvious: in a world in which teenagers don’t have phones (LOL!), a tablet can do everything you want it to. And that tablet is the new iPad Air, available now starting at $599.

At the recent shareholders meeting the CEO of the Samsung Devices Solutions division Kyehyun Kyung reported that the company’s foundries are improving the yield rates for advanced process nodes.

The executive explained that each new node brings higher complexity, so improving the yield rates requires time, but didn’t offer any specific details.

The company didn’t officially confirm it, but the yield rate for the 5 nm node, the one used for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, is reportedly only 35%. This makes Qualcomm’s flagship chipset expensive and difficult to produce. Samsung’s own Exynos 2100 is fabbed in the same foundry.

Samsung’s path to 5 nm

Samsung is also reportedly lagging behind TSMC in sub-5 nm yield rates. This may cause Qualcomm to switch foundries for 3 nm chips. Apple has probably already reserved a significant portion of TSMC’s 3 nm capacity for future Apple A and M chipsets and it’s not the only one (e.g. AMD is working on 3 nm Zen CPUs).

There is talk that the switch may happen as soon as this year – reliable leaksters are reporting that Qualcomm will shift part of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 production to TSMC later this year (and that the new chips will be marketed under the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+ name).
