Oppo Smart Tag tracker leaks

Posted: 22 Apr 2021 06:18 AM PDT

With Apple's AirTag official and Samsung's Galaxy SmartTag already on sale for a while, we see the Tile's tracking dominance challenged. It seems more competition is coming soon as Oppo's Smart Tag was spotted by leakster Digital Chat Station who shared two images of the device on Weibo. Oppo Smart Tag tracker design We can see Oppo's tracker sports a round puck shape and features a USB-C port for charging which is not that common with other makers. For reference, Tile, Samsung and Apple's trackers rely on CR2032 batteries which give you battery life ranging from several months to...

iPhone 13 mini prototype photographed, the two cameras are now laid out diagonally

Posted: 22 Apr 2021 04:57 AM PDT

Last week we saw renders of the iPhone 13 mini, which showed a slightly redesigned camera with the two lenses in a diagonal arrangement instead of one over the other. The latest leak, a hands-on photo of a prototype mini, shows just that same design and lends credibility to the renders. Note that this is just a prototype – Apple is months away from starting mass production of the 13-series, so the design is not set in stone. If Cupertino does settle on this design, it will most likely be carried over to the larger iPhone 13 as well. Hands-on photo of an iPhone 13 mini...

Realme 8 and Realme 8 5G are coming to Europe in May, both priced at €200

Posted: 22 Apr 2021 04:01 AM PDT

When Realme launched the 8-series a month ago, only the 8 Pro was promised for Europe, the 8 wasn't coming. Well, it is now and it won't be traveling alone – the Realme 8 5G is headed to the Old Continent as well. The Realme 8 will be available in May and it will start at €200. That is a fair bit lower than the Pro model, which goes for €300. Comparing the two, they share the same 6.4" Super AMOLED display (1080p+, 60 Hz), but have different cameras, chipsets and batteries. The vanilla 8 has a 64MP main cam (vs. 108MP on the Pro), the 8MP ultrawide module is the same. It is powered...

Realme teases the first Dimensity 1200-powered smartphone for India

Posted: 22 Apr 2021 03:11 AM PDT

The Realme 8 5G was unveiled in India today and the company had a "one more thing" moment – it will be the first to bring a Dimensity 1200-powered smartphone to India. However, today's event was focused on the 8-series model, so we'll have to wait for more details. We have been hearing rumors of a Realme X9 Pro that was teased with the 1200 chip. However, we should note that this name was never confirmed officially. The company did launch a phone with MediaTek's flagship chipset, the Realme GT Neo. Does X9 Pro = GT Neo? Maybe. Currently, no GT models are available in India. However, the...

Posted: 22 Apr 2021 01:42 AM PDT

The Redmi K40 Gaming will be powered by the Dimensity 1200, when it launches next week. Despite being part of an already established lineup, it will be essentially a new handset with new cameras, design and other hardware features. One of them are shoulder keys for gaming, which will pop up from the side once a slider is pulled. Here's a neat video by Redmi, explaining how this works. The brand says the keys are so good for clicking, they can even be used as fidget toys when the user is not gaming. They deliver a crisp sound every time they is pressed and closes with a magnet,...

Initially teased during the OnePlus 9 series launch event, the OnePlus Gaming Triggers are now up for sale in India. The clip-on accessory adds two shoulder buttons that attach independently on both Android and iOS devices as long as their thickness does not exceed 11.5 mm. OnePlus touts the new accessory as ideal for multiplayer titles like PUBG, Call of Duty and Free Fire. We designed the OnePlus gaming triggers to be solid, responsive, pleasingly "clicky," and, yes, beautiful. We also made sure they work with many other phones—because the best product design is one that leaves you free...

Posted: 21 Apr 2021 11:10 PM PDT

The Realme 8 5G was introduced yesterday in Thailand, and today it will hit India. The event is scheduled for 12:30 IST (that's 07:00 UTC) and will be livestreamed for those of you wanting to follow it live. The Realme 8 5G is quite different from the 4G variant of the Realme 8, despite the similar naming. While some specs like the Dimensity 700 and 6.5" screen are definitely an improvement, Realme had to dial back the cameras. The answers we expect from this event concern pricing and availability - will Realme 8 5G stay around $320 (equal to INR24,000) or will the brand introduce...

Posted: 21 Apr 2021 05:24 PM PDT

The OnePlus Watch launched last month to not-very-great reviews, and today the company has come out with a plan for future updates that will rectify some of the pain points reviewers were frustrated with. But first, there's a new firmware update out for the watch today. This is version B.40, and it improves GPS performance, as well as the accuracy of tracking walking and running.

Google Pixel 5a 5G will have the Snapdragon 765G at the helm

Posted: 21 Apr 2021 02:40 PM PDT

The Google Pixel 5a is rumored to get official on June 11, and so far a leak has showed us that it will have a design that's practically indistinguishable from that of the Pixel 4a 5G. Its dimensions make it closer to that phone than to the smaller Pixel 4a too. If you were wondering what sort of horsepower to expect under the hood, well - let's cut right to the chase here. The Pixel 5a 5G will have the Snapdragon 765G chipset at the helm, just like the Pixel 4a 5G and the Pixel 5. That SoC is definitely getting a bit old right now, especially with the Snapdragon 780G being official and...

In an AnTuTu 9 benchmark test, the device scored an impressive 724,495 points, which is just above the Snapdragon 870 we tested on the OnePlus 9R and the vivo X60 Pro. The latter achieved 720,352 points overall. In addition to the Dimensity 1200 SoC, the gaming-focused K40 will offer a...

Posted: 21 Apr 2021 10:11 AM PDT

We heard it was happening, and now it's official. Samsung is making the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 the chipset across the entire Galaxy S20 FE range - both 4G and 5G models. The evidence comes from Samsung's Swedish website, which has the Galaxy S20 FE, model number SM-G780G, listed with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage - a model with 8GB of RAM and 256GB is reportedly also coming. Up until now there was a Snapdragon 865-powered Galaxy S20 FE with 5G thanks to the Qualcomm X55 modem and an Exynos 990-powered Galaxy S20 that tops out at 4G and was also cheaper.
