  • Mobile phones with the new Snapdragon processor will be able to charge up to 150 watts

    Mobile phones with the new Snapdragon processor will be able to charge up to 150 watts

    Qualcomm will unveil its new flagship tile set on November 30, which may be released to the public as Snapdragon 898 or Snapdragon 8 Gen1.

    The trusted leak, Digital Chat Station, says some of the new chipsets will support 150-watt fast charging in a recent post. However, some are still waiting for these mobiles to arrive because early iterations of the chips aren’t ready for this lightning-fast method.

    However, there are already amazingly fast-charging solutions, such as Xiaomi or Motorola / Lenovo. There’s, say, the Mi 10 Ultra: the smartphone, which debuted in mid-2020, has already thrived with 120-watt adapters, while the Lenovo Legion 2 Pro can be powered by 90-watt chargers via its dual USB-C connector. If all is true, both manufacturers will surprise us with new flagships by the end of 2021, but these devices won’t yet support 150-watt fast charging.

    Digital Chat Station knows that the second batch of high-end Snapdragon chips to be shipped at the end of 2021 will already support this even faster-charging method, so it can already be applied to premium smartphones launched in the first quarter of 2022. The new technology will allow us to fully charge our phones in just 10 minutes.

    Qualcomm’s current standard is called Quick Charge 5, and with so-called “Dual Charge” technology, it can charge a fully discharged device to 50 percent in just 5 minutes. The standard includes 12 different protection solutions for safe operation, and it is expected that the 150-watt fast charge of the new chip will consist of further improvements.

  • The Honor 60 series may make its debut soon

    The Honor 60 series may make its debut soon

    Even though the Honor 50 has only recently reached European markets, the brand will soon unveil the sequel, the Honor 60 series. According to the news, the series will include three devices, the Honor 60, the Honor 60 Pro, and the Honor 60 SE.

    According to recently released previews, the Honor 60 phones will be unveiled on Monday, November 22nd.

    Not much is known about the devices yet, but it is known that the SE variant, for example, can get a battery that supports 40 watts, while the base model and Pro version will also be compatible with chargers capable of more than 60 watts.

    It is unknown whether the Honor 60 Pro will surpass the 100-watt charging method of the Honor 50 Pro currently available exclusively in China for fast charging, but a few features have been rumored.

    It is said that the Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 chipset will perform the calculations inside the device, and the battery can have a capacity of 4500 mAh. There is also talk of a rear camera set of 5 recorders and a cut-out display, but none has published any details yet.

  • Google Fold may have been cancelled before its release

    Google Fold may have been cancelled before its release

    According to recent reports, Google has yet to put down a flexible smartphone. The information comes from Ross Young, a DSCC employee, who says the device, which should have been released sometime in the first half of 2022, will not be on the market as Google allegedly canceled orders for parts.

    The decision is based on the fact that the search giant did not think its foldable mobile phone was competitive enough with offers launched by Samsung or those planned by other competing manufacturers behind the scenes.

    You’ve been hearing about the Google Pixel Fold for some time. The mobile is said to have had a 120 Hz LTPO screen, as would Samsung’s best foldable smartphones. It is speculated that the same in-house developed Tensor chipset would have powered the mobile as the current Pixel 6 flagships.

    Although the leaked information suggested that the device could have been a convincing offer if it had been mentioned, less attractive features were mentioned in the rumors. For example, the primary image capture unit would have been the same 12-megapixel module used on previous Pixel phones. This sensor would have been used to avoid the increased thickness that comes with larger sensors. Otherwise, only two cameras would have taken up space on the back of the mobile.

    Of course, this does not necessarily mean that the company will permanently abandon its plans for smart-screen smartphones. It is possible that the engineers will return to the design desk, rethink the concept, and delight us with a foldable mobile at some point in the distant future. Although the market for foldable smartphones is growing, the most significant competitor, Apple, will not come up with such a device before 2023, so Google will not lag if it announces its own portfolio later. To be sure, the search giant is at the heart of the matter of bendable mobiles, a clear signal of this with the announcement of the Android 12L , which was made for large-screen flexible mobiles in addition to tablets.

  • The plans for Samsung’s smartphones in 2022 have been leaked

    The plans for Samsung’s smartphones in 2022 have been leaked

    Samsung aims to considerably accelerate the manufacture of foldable smartphones next year, according to The Elec, to prepare for increased sales. The media source supposedly obtained a document outlining production objectives and the South Korean company’s intentions for mobiles.

    [ads1]

    According to reports, Samsung expects to build 6.9 million Galaxy Z Flip 4 devices. 2.9 million people want to assemble the Galaxy Z Fold 4 simultaneously. To put the numbers in perspective, the Galaxy Z Flip 3 had a target volume of 4 million units, and the Galaxy Z Fold 3 had a target volume of 3 million units when it launched in 2021.

    Although foldable smartphones are becoming more popular, the Galaxy S models will continue to dominate the top category. The company intends to create 14 million Galaxy S22, 8 million Galaxy S22 Plus, and 11 million Galaxy S22 Ultra devices, according to documents obtained by The Elec. The latter will attempt to fill the void left by the Galaxy Note devices that feature the S Pen.

    The preliminary plan for that year was to produce 10 million Galaxy S21, 8 million Galaxy S21 +, and 8 million Galaxy S21 Ultra models for the current series. The Galaxy S22 and Ultra models fared somewhat below expectations in terms of sales, but Samsung executives predict a significant increase in demand for the base Galaxy S22 and Ultra models.

    Another intriguing detail is that, according to The Elec, the Samsung Galaxy S22 will be announced at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) on January 5. The Galaxy S22 FE, which is expected to be released in the second half of next year, is another inexpensive portico for fans of affordable flagships. This model’s production goal is 5.7 million units.

    Next year, mobile phones with flexible screens will return to foldable gadgets, which will account for 20% of Samsung’s flagships. Of course, many of the products will remain entry-level and mid-range, with the Galaxy A series members representing the surprising waistline.

    The Samsung Galaxy A53 is the largest-number gadget, with 28 million units planned. Still, the Galaxy A13 is expected to sell 27 million copies, and the Galaxy A33 will sell 23 million documents. These three models are expected to account for approximately a quarter of Samsung’s annual manufacturing of 334 million phones.

  • The display on the Balmuda Phone is 4.9 inches, but it has two flaws

    The display on the Balmuda Phone is 4.9 inches, but it has two flaws

    Balmuda is a Japanese company that specializes in high-end home appliances, but it just modified its image and launched its first smartphone, the Balmuda Phone.

    [ads1]

    According to the company’s CEO, Gen Terao, the idea emerged from the necessity for a compact Android-powered smartphone, as most modern gadgets are too vast and complex to use with one hand. Although the phone is partly a throwback, it might find a market if it wasn’t only sold in Japan and wasn’t so exorbitantly priced.

    The Balmuda Phone is a 4.9-inch device with a 16:9 aspect ratio display and HD resolution. We don’t understand why the front camera in the upper left corner must be chopped out since there are visible frames around the show. The sensor has a resolution of 8 megapixels, which is very acceptable.

    The compactness, on the other hand, was not overdone. The device is 123 mm in height, 69 mm in width, and 13.7 mm in thickness. The Balmuda Phone is also 138 grams in weight and features a curved back. Plastic was used for the outside cover.

    The Qualcomm Snapdragon 765 CPU is paired with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage by the manufacturer to power the smartphone. A single image capture unit on the curved back with a 48-megapixel module, a fingerprint reader, and an LED flash—a 2500 mAh battery powers the Balmuda Phone, which can be charged by USB-C connection or wirelessly.

    The phone uses the Android 11 operating system, with several apps and gestures added by the Japanese manufacturer. The smartphone will most likely be everything, but it will not be a mass production because it will cost approximately $916. Pre-orders began on November 17 in Japan, with the official release starting on November 26. International sales are unlikely to occur.

  • The Xiaomi 12 Ultra may come with a Leica camera

    The Xiaomi 12 Ultra may come with a Leica camera

    The fact that Huawei and Leica had a long-standing partnership with each other for a long time was already ingrained in the public consciousness.

    Still, after the US government’s bans, the German company began to cooperate with others. Sharp has created the Aquos R6 and Leitz Phone 1 and, according to the latest information, can start working together with a new Chinese business partner. It’s about Xiaomi. German technicians can fine-tune the optics of the manufacturer’s next flagship mobile.

    The truth is that the rumor is not entirely new. As early as May, it was heard that Xiaomi could replace Huawei as a potential phone business partner. Then half a year passed, and Digital Chat Station reheated the news when it announced that Xiaomi and Leica had already partnered behind the scenes.

    In addition to the info, he also published a photo of the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra, with the Leica logo flourishing on the back screen. This probably suggests that the Xiaomi 12 Ultra Leica’s successor will be equipped with optics.

    Digital Chat Station is one of the most trusted leaks in Asia, but we can only be sure when an official announcement confirms this news. Unless the partnership is announced separately, this could happen no earlier than early next year, when the Xiaomi 12 Pro and Ultra models will be unveiled.

    The latter has already been heard of. For example, in connection with the cameras, there are three sensors on the back of the high-end smartphone, each of which will be 50 megapixels. One can have a lens with 5x optical zoom.

    The Xiaomi 12 Ultra also features an AMOLED screen, up to 12GB of RAM, 512GB of storage, a battery with a minimum capacity of 4,500mAh, and support for a 120-watt fast charge for those who sit close to the fire and know more than we do.

  • Samsung claims that “everything will change” on Friday.

    Samsung claims that “everything will change” on Friday.

    The theme of Samsung’s Friday event was “everything is changing.” Many people believed that the latest chipset, the Exynos 2200, would be released to the public, but this has already been proven false.

    Samsung tends to announce its next Exynos processor a few weeks before launching a new Galaxy S Series smartphone. The world is already anticipating the long-awaited Exynos 2200 (the first Exynos chip with a six-core AMD RDNA2 GPU and ray-tracing technology), so it’s no surprise that when a mysterious Instagram post with the hashtag #EverythingChanges appeared in Samsung’s Exynos account, it seemed clear to many that the time had come to reveal the new chips.

    Because you read in the post about the future of gaming graphics and AMD’s GPU supports high-end gaming capabilities, this may have looked logical.

    But then the most proficient, Samsung, came along and put a damper on everything. Contrary to popular belief, they made it plain on Twitter that the event would not be Exynos-themed, and he disclosed several adjustments.

    Many people hoping for a new Exynos chipset may be disappointed. However, this isn’t to say that one won’t exist. It’s only a matter of waiting to see when Samsung will reveal it. Benchmark findings, on the other hand, have already been made public.

    The one with non-minor measurements details was made public. I, in turn, have written that the difference in Exynos long-term performance between 2100 and 2200 is between 17 and 20% (of course, the novelty of acting), but the peak power difference is significantly more, at 31-34 percent. Although this is great, for mobile gamers, long-term performance is critical.

    The Exynos 2200 in a rumored prototype Galaxy runs S22, and the second measurement is comparable to two generations. The Exynos 2200 performs marginally better than the Galaxy S21 but at a substantially lower clock speed. However, because the engineering prototype and chipset software management are likely to be improved, the S22 with the Exynos chip is projected to perform better than the S21, which also uses such a chip.

    When comparing the Exynos 2200 and Snapdragon 888 results, the new Samsung chipset wins by a large margin, despite Qualcomm’s processing clock being similar. However, because the Galaxy S22 already has the latest Snapdragon 898 processor, it’s unclear whether the Exynos 2200 offers any advantages.

    However, in the meanwhile, some thought-provoking news surfaced. LetsGoDigital, a Dutch website, released the leak of a former Samsung employee, among other things. All Samsung S22 versions will be equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon SoC in all locations, including Europe and Asia.

    According to previous reports, Samsung would employ more minor Exynos chips than usual. On February 8, 2022, everything was expected at the Samsung Unpacked event.

  • Heart rate and breath monitoring are being tested on Pixel 6 mobiles

    Heart rate and breath monitoring are being tested on Pixel 6 mobiles

    We can hardly believe it, but it’s finally news that we can’t report any bugs or issues with Google Pixel 6 devices. After introducing the Adaptive Sound feature, the base model received some extras, such as the heart rate and breathing tracking option announced in March and now finally available, enabled by the Google Fit app.

    The two health tracking features use the smartphone camera and flash. The latter is used to illuminate the fingers during the measurement so that, in principle, the shades of the color of the skin under examination are better visible.

    Still, the problem with the Google Pixel 6 mobile phone is that the distance between the capture unit and the flash is quite large. It may be at the expense of efficiency. Developers are aware of this, and the entire feature set is in early access. Google says fine-tuning is currently underway, and these new features may be removed in the future.

    The 9to5Google, According to the reports, was an accurate heart rate monitor function device with Google Pixel 6 and Pixel has five levels and a FitBit. However, it is also mentioned that the measured value may be inaccurate in a room with less favorable light conditions.

    Breath measurement on the basic Pixel 6 worked well. However, it is essential to be aware that these are currently experimental features and cannot be expected to undergo medical-level diagnostics even when they are finally armed. Selected Google Pixel 6 users can now try out the new features under the “early access” tag within Google Fit.

  • Renders of the Samsung Galaxy A53 5G

    Renders of the Samsung Galaxy A53 5G

    Although the Samsung Galaxy A52 5G has received an updated version in the Galaxy A52s 5G, it is reaching a natural successor, reportedly arriving in early 2022. And what will the mid-range device look like?

    Thanks to OnLeaks and Digit, we can also answer this question because they allow us to admire the smartphone’s design on CAD-based 3D renders.

    We hope you did not expect significant revolutionary changes because you will be disappointed while browsing these images. The design received only some refinement but remained essentially the same.

    The shape has changed only minimally, but the camera bulge fits into the back more naturally, with a smoother arc.

    The Samsung Galaxy A53 5G is 8.14mm thick without protruding from the camera, and at the same time, has a cross-section of 9.73mm.

    We don’t quite understand what the designer thought when he removed the headphone output, which we would look for in vain on the outside cover of the device, even though it would have had room for it smoothly. Other things are unlikely to change, so the AMOLED display with a 120 Hz refresh rate, the 64-megapixel primary camera, and the rest will remain.

    To the best of our knowledge, the Samsung Galaxy A53 5G may appear in one of the first three months of 2022. Dear customers will get the mid-range device in light blue, orange, black, and white.

  • AnTuTu set a record for a mobile phone with a MediaTek Dimensity 2000 chip

    AnTuTu set a record for a mobile phone with a MediaTek Dimensity 2000 chip

    MediaTek has already begun announcing the world’s first 4-nanometer chipset for smartphones, which they say will be their product.

    We do not know how well this claim is, but we hear several particular chipset manufacturers. One of these is the Vivo, the first device to cross the one million point limit in an AnTuTu measurement as an Android device.

    The device is codenamed Vivo V2184, and its MT6983  chip served under the housing when the benchmark measurements were made. According to Fama, this is none other than the Dimensity 2000, and the smartphone in question is most likely a model in the X-Series.

    The record result has also been reported by reliable leakers such as Digital Chat Station or Ice Universe, but AnTuTu itself has not yet confirmed the validity of the score.

    Currently, the device with the highest performance, or if you prefer AnTuTu, running the Android operating system, is the Red Magic 6, which features the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset inside. The game-designed smartphone scored 858,734 points in the benchmark app, in which only the iPad Pro models powered by the Apple M1 chip have been able to achieve more than a million so far.

    The entertaining videos now published by MediaTek lack the specifics. For the time being, they talk about excellent performance and uptime, and another commonplace. Browsing through the unofficial information reveals more.

    For example, some say the Taiwanese company has already agreed with TSMC, and they will manufacture the 4-nanometer chip, while Samsung and Qualcomm chips will be made at Samsung’s plants. According to the Digital Chat Station, the Dimensity 2000 will have one 3.0 GHz Cortex-X2, three Cortex-A710, and four Cortex-A510 cores.

    The clock speed of the primary X2 core is also reported to be the same for the Snapdragon 898 and Exynos 2200 chips, meaning the three chipsets will have nearly the same performance in terms of processor performance. Still, there will be plenty of differences in terms of graphics acceleration.

    The MediaTek Dimensity 2000 will receive an ARM Mali-G710 MC10 module, the Exynos 2200 equipped with an AMD RDNA 2 GPU, and the Qualcomm Snapdragon 898 will be fitted with a brand new Adreno 730 unit.

    Benchmark records here, marketing promises there, a new set of high-end chips can be found no earlier than late November early December when Qualcomm finally announces the Snapdragon 898. Some say it could happen as early as November 30, leaving MediaTek with just a few weeks to unveil Dimensity 2000 and outperform its competitor by introducing the world’s first 4-nanometer mobile chip.

  • OnePlus 10 Pro leaked images

    OnePlus 10 Pro leaked images

    Behind the scenes, work around the OnePlus house doesn’t stop for a moment, and the company is reported to be working with steam on its following high-end device, the OnePlus 10. Now, thanks to brand new renderers, we can admire the look of the Pro variant, which can get a unique camera build as long as this footage is authentic.

    No one has used such an arrangement before, although the way the camera island “flows” somewhat onto the side frame may be familiar to the Samsung Galaxy S21 models. The published renders are based on real photos depicting an early prototype, which means the final design may differ from what we see here and now.

    The OnePlus 10 Pro will be equipped with three rear image capture units, and it looks like none will have a periscope zoom. As for the hardware that serves under the hood, you can hear about 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage for the base model, while the most expensive ones boast 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage.

     

    For now, we don’t know more about the devices that will undoubtedly feature the Qualcomm Snapdragon 898, which is expected to debut. OnePlus 10 mobiles will likely be available in the first half of 2022.

  • The new iOS will alert parents if a child sends or receives a nude picture

    The new iOS will alert parents if a child sends or receives a nude picture

    Apple has created an iOS 15.2 that helps protect children from sexual predators. Back in August, it was revealed that Apple could incorporate an essential feature into the latest version of iOS, version 15.2.

    The planned new device seeks to protect children from falling victim to sexual predators. There are indications that Apple is doing this feature and is already testing it in full swing. The CultofMac says the device has been included for the 15.2-inch iOS developers, a beta version given on Tuesday by the Cupertino company.

    According to information so far, the system will detect if children want to send or receive nude photos via an iPhone, and if that happens, it will alert parents. According to the page, it is essential that the function can be switched on and off, i.e., it will not be mandatory to use it. In addition, Apple uses machine learning to identify the images, meaning that the photos in question will not be removed from the mobile.

    According to the report, if the feature is turned on, the child will see a blurred image in the Messages app running on iPhones and iPads. If you try to see it, you will be asked to see content, not for him.

    According to the paper, the message was worded so that children could understand it: “sensitive photos and videos show the private body parts that you cover with bathing suits” depict the intimate part. If the child still opens it after this, the parent will be notified immediately. A similar process occurs when sending, and if the child still sends it despite the warning, the system also reports to the parents.

    According to the report, the feature will be turned off by default, and the parent will need to activate it in the family package.

  • Samsung has unveiled a memory like no other in the world

    Samsung has unveiled a memory like no other in the world

    Apple can also brush its teeth at Samsung’s new memory chip, the world’s first LPDDR5X DRAM, much faster and more energy-efficient than its predecessor.

    Samsung has announced the world’s first LPDDR5X DRAM for mobile devices. The memory chip is made with the industry’s most advanced 14nm DRAM process technology. The chip is 16 GB, and the maximum capacity of each memory packet is 64 GB, which meets the needs for higher-capacity mobile DRAMs.

    The data transfer rate is 8.5 Gbps, 1.3 times that of LPDDR5. On the other hand, power consumption can be 20 percent lower, meaning the device can be faster and longer on a single charge.

    Samsung promises to start working with global chipset manufacturers later this year, which means the module will be available in smartphones, notebooks, tablets as early as next year, and even in the Galaxy S22, which will be unveiled in early February will be the same.

    It’s worth noting that since both the Apple M1 Pro and M1 Max use an LPDDR5 chip, Apple may be switching to LPDDR5X next year. In addition to these devices, the memory chip can be included in servers and cars and contribute to developing artificial intelligence-based components.
