OnePlus' iconic alert slider will be confined to Pro models while reaching some Oppo flagships

Posted: 10 Jun 2022 05:59 PM PDT

Earlier today we shared some leaked renders of the upcoming OnePlus 10T. The eagle-eyed among you may have noticed something missing: the iconic OnePlus alert slider, a feature which the company debuted in the Android world, and then kept mainstream ever since. We say "in the Android world" because of course Apple had a similar slider way before OnePlus. Anyway, the alert slider has been a staple of OnePlus phones, and it was sorely missed by some when the company expanded to include entry-level phones which were just rebranded Oppos. The lack of the alert slider in the Nord N models was...

OnePlus 10T rendered: large 6.7" display, full-width camera bump

Posted: 10 Jun 2022 10:35 AM PDT

If rumors are to be believed, the OnePlus 10T will be the last flagship that the company releases this year (no 10 Ultra, no 10T Pro, etc.). Little was known about the phone other than that it will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset. Now leakster Yogesh Brar and Onsitego have uncovered more details, enough to make 3D renders of the phone. The 10T has an unusual design for the company – the camera bump on the back extends across the full width of the phone. The leaksters warn that this design is based on early prototypes so the material finishes may not be accurate. Anyway,...

During strenuous tasks, as the chipset gets hotter, the vapour chamber absorbs the heat generated and turns the liquid inside into vapour, which then condenses & brings down the ambient [5/6] pic.twitter.com/ch85IKLUvp— POCO...

Posted: 10 Jun 2022 02:16 AM PDT

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4 and Z Fold4 will add a swipe to enter split-screen view, per renowned tipster Ice Universe.

Galaxy Z fold4 and Flip4 will add "swipe for split screen" function— Ice universe (@UniverseIce) June 9, 2022 It makes sense for Samsung's largest-screened phone to have a faster way of doing split-screen.

Posted: 09 Jun 2022 09:22 PM PDT

In an exclusive report from Sam Mobile, Samsung is working to "significantly [improve] the UI navigation speeds. It's also going to optimize the animations so they're smoother and faster," writes the news outlet.

The switch to Android 12 was met with some fumbles by OEMs, as last year's Android version was the first drastically different Android update in years. Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra and...

OnePlus Nord 2T reportedly launches in India this month

Posted: 09 Jun 2022 06:49 PM PDT

Last month OnePlus took the wraps off the Nord 2T, the first smartphone to sport MediaTek's Dimensity 1300 SoC. The mid-ranger is a very slight upgrade to the Nord 2, and a new rumor today tells us that it is due to be launched in India before the end of this month. It will allegedly be an Amazon exclusive, and it's expected to be priced under INR 30,000, and "probably" even cheaper than the Nord 2 was when it launched. This means it will be more affordable in India than it is in Europe, where it goes for €399 which currently translates into INR 32,963. The Indian version is said to...

The OnePlus 10T 5G may be powered by the faster Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1

Posted: 09 Jun 2022 09:33 AM PDT

Last week leakster Max J wrote that OnePlus has only one flagship left to unveil this year – the OnePlus 10T 5G (code name "Ovaltine"). So far the company has released only the 10 Pro (in January) and it was alone, no vanilla, no Ultra models. The 10T will presumably take the spot of the vanilla model with a smaller display, though not much is known about it. As is sometimes the case with the T-editions, the new model will bring an upgraded chipset – a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, according to another leakster, Abhishek Yadav. The Ultra was rumored to use the 8+ chip, but it's not clear what...
