Indian version of Poco X3 surfaces with 8GB of RAM, launch expected on September 22

Posted: 16 Sep 2020 05:07 AM PDT

A new, slightly upgraded version of the Poco X3 NFC has surfaced on the Google Play Console, this one apparently preparing for a launch in India on September 22. The code name of the new model is "karna" and its retail name notably lacks "NFC" (which doesn't necessarily mean that the feature will be omitted). The Console lists the chipset as Snapdragon 730, though a quick trip to Geekbench shows that the "karna" scores on par with the "surya" (the code name for the current Poco X3 model). This means it uses the same Snapdragon 732G chipset, which is just an overclocked version of the 730,...

Huawei Mate X2 might not launch this year due to US sanctions

Posted: 16 Sep 2020 02:37 AM PDT

Everyone knows about US sanctions by now and how they troubled Huawei's parts supplies for future phones and unfortunately, the Huawei Mate X2 is yet another first device to feel the effects. Going by Ross Young's words, the successor of the original Huawei Mate X was set to launch before the end of this year but due to difficulties with the hardware sourcing, the release will be postponed for 2021. Since both, the Mate X and Mate XS used Chinese-made BOE foldable displays the panels likely aren't the issue. Maybe shortages of the new Kirin 1000 chipset is causing this but that's...

That's not too shabby, if we dare say so ourselves. This is the first time Apple has given the public any sales number regarding its tablets since 2018, as it is usually quite secretive about these things - unless it has something to boast about, like it did today. In that case, it's happy to tell you how successful its various products...
