  • Motorola Edge 40 Viva Magenta Color Variant Unveiled in India

    Motorola Edge 40 Viva Magenta Colour Variant Launched in India

    Smartphone maker Motorola recently unveiled the Pantone color of 2023 as one of its options for its Moto Edge 40 smartphone, now available for sale in India. This version boasts an impressive camera system including 108MP primary sensor, ultra-wide lens, and macro lens – ideal for taking stunning photographs and videos anywhere you go! It also comes equipped with features to make life simpler such as voice assistant support for Android apps & more!

    The latest addition to the Edge 40 series, in an exquisite red shade of Magenta, stands out from its competition. This bright hue covers nearly every surface on this phone from faux leather backs and antenna lines all the way down to USB-C ports on its bottom side – drawing in everyone who sees it! The Magenta color pops so much that everyone who looks at it stops and stares.

    Motorola Edge 40 Viva Magenta will go on sale June 28, 2018, through Flipkart. It costs Rs 29,499 for an 8GB + 256GB model with bank offers that could further bring down its cost.

    Viva Magenta color option of the Edge 40 makes an outstanding statement of its own and stands out among its rivals in style. This pop of color really stands out among all others available and looks wonderful on its curved display, perfect for standing out from crowds of devices. The Edge 40 makes an outstanding device choice.

    Motorola has previously introduced different color variants of its Edge 30 Fusion smartphone. Recently, they released Green and Blue versions, while now adding the Viva Magenta variant – similar to other options but featuring vegan leather back.

    The Edge 30 Fusion is an exceptional smartphone for the price, and an ideal option for anyone seeking an affordable option that provides solid performance, long battery life and an uncluttered Android experience. However, Motorola has been plagued with poor camera quality on this model in the past. I would have appreciated seeing some improvements here.

  • Realme Narzo 60 Series Design Teased Ahead of Launch

    Realme Unveils Narzo 60 Series Design in Advance of Launch

    Realme is gearing up to launch their newest smartphone series: Narzo 60. In preparation, they have teased upcoming devices by creating an Amazon India microsite titled ‘Embrace the Future of Visuals’ featuring eye-catching orange accents to invoke Martian landscape imagery.

    Realme Narzo 60 Series smartphones will feature immense storage capacities that enable users to capture and save over 250,000 photos without running out of room, thanks to either 512GB or 1TB internal memory – more storage than many flagship phones come equipped with. This microsite highlights this fact with the tagline “storage beyond boundaries”.

    Realme Narzo 60 series phones will boast impressive storage capacities and stunning displays that ensure users can experience their content on the large screen. It comes equipped with an OLED 6.7-inch Full HD+ OLED curved punch hole display featuring 120Hz refresh rate and 950nits peak brightness, complete with an embedded punch hole camera adorning its top center of its front panel adorned with premium vegan-textured designs similar to what can be found on Realme 11 Pro series phones.

    While no specifications of the Realme Narzo 60 series have yet been confirmed, tipster claims have excited potential buyers. It is likely that future smartphones from Realme Narzo could feature MediaTek Dimensity SoCs with 8GB RAM capacity; furthermore, one 5.7-inch variant may even sport a 100MP main camera!

    Realme Narzo 60 series smartphones are expected to launch sometime in late July and will be available both online and at brick-and-mortar stores across India for purchase. It is anticipated that the Realme Narzo 60 Pro will serve as its flagship model and may be an updated version of Realme 11 Pro 5G; its pricing has not been revealed; rumors indicate it could cost below Rs 25,000 and support 5G networks as well.

  • iPhone 15 Pro Max Leaked Case Tips: Design Changes to Mute Button

    Rumors regarding Apple’s redesign of the iPhone 15 Pro Max have been swirling, and one popular rumor suggests that 16-year-old mute switch will take on new purpose as an action button. According to case leak by Majin Bu via IT House, its current location will be replaced with “Custom Button,” similar to Apple Watch Ultra’s Action Button which reportedly allows you to perform shortcuts by pressing it once.

    Leaked cases for the iPhone 15 Pro have revealed some major design differences. One shared by Twitter user Majin BuOfficial indicates a larger-than-usual opening at the bottom edge to accommodate for its USB-C port that may replace Lightning in future iPhone 15 Pro models, while a MacRumors report points out an apparent iPhone 15 Pro case featuring power and volume buttons positioned slightly lower than their predecessors in previous iPhone 14 Pro series models.

    According to earlier reports, it was suggested that the iPhone 15 Pro’s current mute switch would be replaced by a solid-state button. While its current form can be flicked to control notification volume, its successor should feature a larger, wider button which you press, with multiple functions depending on which app or setting is being used.

    It appears that Apple’s new mute button will use a haptic engine to simulate clicking when pressed, but its functionality remains unclear. Many are hoping it can serve multiple functions similar to how Action Button on Apple Watch Ultra does; but its possible that will not be the case with this year’s iPhone model.

    Though these rumors may seem intriguing, it’s important to keep in mind that these are simply leaked cases and we won’t have all of the details until Apple officially unveils the iPhone 15 Pro later this year. Other reports indicate the phone may feature an A12X processor, 48MP camera equipped with Sony’s IMX903 sensor, and up to 2,500nits brightness for its display screen.

    Apple may soon discontinue its headphone jack on the iPhone 15 series, something it has been testing out over time and could finally achieve this year. According to respected supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo’s recent report, this change may take place with MagSafe charging and USB-C connectivity replacing traditional connectors – though many consumers may take some getting used to, especially where traditional connectors remain popular, such as gyms or workplaces where devices with this configuration remain commonplace.

  • Nothing Phone 2 Pre-Orders to Start in India on June 29 Via Flipkart

    Nothing, almost two years after releasing its inaugural phone, has announced that its follow up device – Nothing Phone 2 – will go on pre-orders starting June 29 via Flipkart in India and offer exclusive pre-order offers to its customers who make reservations through that platform.

    Pre-order customers must make a refundable deposit of Rs. 2,000 which will be applied towards their final device purchase price. In addition, Pre-order customers are being treated to an exclusive accessories package and instant cashbacks will be offered by leading banks upon placing their pre-order.

    The company strives to offer flagship experience at an accessible price point and has pledged three years of Android OS updates and four years of security patches, falling short of what major handset makers such as Samsung or OnePlus offer.

    In terms of specs, the Nothing Phone 2 should feature a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chipset coupled with 8-12GB LPDDR5 RAM and up to 256GB UFS 3.1 storage capacity. Furthermore, its large 6.7-inch Full HD+ AMOLED display will support fast charging while boasting a 120Hz refresh rate for an enhanced visual experience.

    Carl Pei and his team have done hard work to recreate the aesthetics of the original Phone 1. It will feature a transparent-backed design with Glyph LED lighting that syncs up with call and message notifications, more compact design with rounder edges, slimmer profile and an eco-friendly frame made with recycled and bio-based materials for manufacturing; plus its carbon footprint will be 5kg lower than its predecessor!

    Technical specs are certainly important, but most people choose their smartphones based on aesthetic considerations alone. So it is crucial that Pei and his team have achieved perfection when it comes to designing the Phone 2’s aesthetics.

    The phone is also expected to provide increased endurance due to its large 6.7-inch display, faster processor, and efficient chipset. According to the company, its battery capacity will increase from 4,500mAh on its predecessor phone – giving an impressive endurance rating of 108 hours.

  • iPhone 15 Panel Orders For June Hint at Strong Demand For 2023

    The iPhone remains one of the world’s most sought-after smartphones. Each new iteration of this device brings with it excitement, as well as hopes that some innovative features may be included on it.

    Though Apple won’t launch the iPhone 15 series until later in 2017, a display supply chain analysis firm’s report suggests strong interest for this handset. Apple reportedly placed twice as many orders for iPhone 15 Pro’s displays compared to what they placed during a similar time last year for 14 Pro models.

    Not only will Apple sell more basic iPhone 15 models this year than they did of iPhone 13 in 2022, according to reports, but the Pro model is expected to garner much interest as well.

    Rumors surrounding the iPhone 15 series suggest an elegant and innovative design. Rumors state that it will feature thinner bezels than previous generations, giving more screen real estate for people to use the phone with one hand.

    Rumors also indicate the inclusion of a periscope camera that will enable users to capture 3D images with ease, as well as an upgraded LiDAR sensor that will help detect objects in front of it and navigate indoor spaces more efficiently.

    The iPhone 15 Pro is expected to feature taptic buttons instead of physical ones for controlling apps and Siri, along with a titanium frame and more RAM than its predecessors (6GB in comparison with 8GB on current iPhone 14).

    Rumor has it that the iPhone 15 Pro will feature a faster USB-C connection, which could facilitate faster data transfer and charging speeds. Unfortunately, however, according to speculation this means only MFi (Made For iPhone) certified accessories will support USB-C on this phone.

    Apple hasn’t confirmed many details, but it is expected to unveil many at its World Wide Developer Conference (WWDC) event in June. At that time, the company typically unveils several of the new features coming to its phones.

    Apple is expected to unveil both the iPhone 15 and Pro models this September, typically on Tuesday of the second week in September. However, for whatever reason Apple may decide to alter this strategy; whether this be good or bad remains unknown.

  • Realme Narzo 60 Series Starting Price Leaked on Amazon Ahead Launch

    July is expected to witness the release of multiple smartphones, such as foldables from Motorola and iQOO as well as mid-range offerings from Realme. Tech enthusiasts have eagerly anticipated several devices like Motorola Razr 40 series, iQOO Neo 7 Pro and Realme Narzo 60 Series 5G; however Amazon unintentionally leaked their starting prices ahead of their launches.

    As part of its Prime Day sale scheduled to occur between July 15-16 in India, Amazon India made an unfortunate error when listing three smartphones: Motorola Razr 40, iQOO Neo 7 Pro and Realme Narzo 60 Series on its website as promotional items; these smartphones were intended to help shoppers create shopping lists but instead accidentally displayed with their prices listed alongside.

    Leaked price tags indicate that the Motorola Razr 40 will cost Rs 59,999; iQOO Neo 7 Pro will start at Rs 33,999 while Realme Narzo 60 series starts from a starting price of Rs 17,999. However, Amazon quickly corrected their errors and replaced these prices with their respective launch dates.

    Realme is expected to unveil their Narzo series in India on July 6 and has begun sharing teasers of their device on social media in anticipation. This smartphone is anticipated to feature premium vegan texture curved back design as well as circular camera housing equipped with selfie snapper feature and will run on MediaTek Dimensity 6020 SoC along with up to 8GB RAM and 1TB storage.

    Realme’s Narzo series will likely boast a larger display with minimal bezels and higher-resolution screen, larger battery capacity and fast charging support.

    As expected, it will be fascinating to compare how the iQOO Neo 7 Pro stacks up against Moto Razr 40 and Realme Narzo 60 series when they all launch this month in India. According to reports, iQOO Neo 7 Pro may offer superior processing power and storage capacities compared with Moto Razr 40 while Realme Narzo 60 series offers pocket-friendly options with smaller footprints.

    The iQOO Neo 7 Pro will feature dual rear cameras, while Motorola Razr 40 will be a flip-folding phone with a 6.9-inch display when open. Furthermore, Nothing Phone (2) is due for release this month with its prices yet unknown.

  • Redmi Note 12R Is the First Phone to Launch With Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 SoC

    Xiaomi recently unveiled the Redmi Note 12R in China. This model serves as the vanilla variant of its Pro counterpart that debuted earlier this year and comes equipped with an upgraded Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 SoC. Xiaomi may bring this phone internationally too.

    Redmi Note 12R will deliver improved processing performance, an energy efficient display and enhanced camera features at an attractive price point. Furthermore, this device’s prices are lower than its ‘Pro’ sibling making it even more appealing as an attractive purchase option. With two 50 MP sensors and 2 MP secondary sensors on its rear panel; and an 8 MP selfie camera located within its punch hole cutout on the front for selfie-taking purposes on both sides – all powered by its 5,000 mAh battery running Android 13 OS!

    While similar in many aspects to its Pro variant, the Redmi Note 12R’s new chip should provide significant performance advantages. Built on Qualcomm Snapdragon’s 4nm node which should lead to greater energy efficiency compared to 6nm used by Pro model; also comes equipped with Adreno GPU graphics processing power.

    Redmi Note 12R features an all-new 6.79-inch FHD+ flat display with a 90Hz refresh rate and punch hole cutout to accommodate for the selfie camera. This screen supports wide color gamut support, 10bit HDR support, hardware-level low blue light reduction capabilities and hardware level low blue light filtering, with increased brightness than its Pro counterpart.

    On the software front, this phone runs Google’s Android 13 operating system with additional apps preinstalled from Xiaomi such as image gallery apps and web browser. Notable among these additions is Discover feed on the left of the home screen alongside multiple versions of image gallery app by Xiaomi including image viewer notes manager web browser; its inclusion appears arbitrary at best and makes no real sense at all.

    Redmi Note 12R has launched in China with a starting price of 1,100 Yuan ($153). You can purchase it through Xiaomi’s official online store, Lazada stores and TikTok shops as well as authorized resellers across the nation. Redmi Note 12R comes in Midnight Black, Sky Mirage and Time Blue colors and will soon be offered with different SoC options and storage capabilities in India if available through both Amazon and Flipkart. The Indian version may feature a side-mounted fingerprint scanner instead of the in-display unit found on other Xiaomi phones, or it could use power button as its fingerprint scanner – more details will become available as we learn them! Stay tuned for further updates regarding Redmi Note 12R!

  • Asus Zenfone 10 With Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC Revealed on Geekbench

    Asus Unveils New Smartphone with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC

    Asus is set to unveil their upcoming flagship phone, the Zenfone 10. As its successor to their popular Zenfone 9 model, this latest release from them may include significant upgrades. Geekbench recently posted details about it revealing key components such as processor speed and RAM capacity configurations.

    According to leaked listings, the new Asus device will be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC coupled with 16GB of RAM. Android 13 will come installed preinstalled, making the phone dual SIM capable with support for 5G connectivity.

    On the rear is a 200MP OIS camera equipped with an ultra-wide lens capable of shooting 4K videos at 30fps and high-resolution photos at 80MP. Furthermore, there will be a 6.3-inch FHD+ display featuring Gorilla Glass Victus protection as well as a 5000mAh battery unit that supports fast charging at 67W.

    As previously discussed, the Asus Zenfone 10 will be a dual-SIM phone equipped with 5G support, expected to retail for around Rs. 50000 and showcased at an event in Taipei on June 29. Ultimately it should go on sale sometime later this year.

    Asus Zenfone 10 is expected to feature a 6.3-inch AMOLED display offering 120Hz refresh rate, along with both 256GB and 512GB storage options, all powered by a 5000mAh power unit capable of supporting fast charging at 67W speeds.

    One of the Snapdragon 8 Generation 2’s hallmark upgrades is its “Ray Tracing” technology, designed to enhance gaming experiences through more realistic visuals while lowering power consumption overall.

    MySmartPrice noticed the Geekbench listing, which revealed that the new Asus Zenfone will score 2,028 points in single-core tests and 5,454 in multi-core. Furthermore, this benchmark points towards dual camera setup being present on this handset. Geekbench listings may change before its final release; however, this information appears accurate at this time. Stay tuned for further updates regarding Asus Zenfone 10 With Qualcomm Snapdragon. This month, Asus Zenfone 10 will make its Indian debut and is scheduled to hit major online stores. The phone will directly compete against Oppo Reno 8 Pro, Huawei Mate 20 Pro and Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra devices and will retail at $749 (roughly Rs 61,900). Earlier this year, an error by Asus accidentally leaked pricing details through one of its test websites.

  • What I Want From Samsung’s Next Foldables in 2023

    With the Galaxy Fold’s launch in 2019, Samsung set off a trend that it plans on following through on. Since then, other manufacturers such as Honor and Motorola have followed suit with foldable devices of their own design; Honor even brought its own take. Now with so much competition in this space, Samsung may bring something special with its Z Flip and Z Fold smartphones.

    Samsung’s first premium foldable was an incredible technical feat, yet was beset with first generation device issues and was too costly. Nonetheless, their second and third iterations of this design improved by adding better water resistance as well as removable screen protectors without harming their inner display panels.

    Rumor has it that Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Z Fold 5 phones may feature even thinner designs when folded compared to their predecessors, making them more portable and helping reduce any visible folds when closed.

    One potential upgrade that may come to the Z Flip and Z Fold smartphones in 2018 could be more rounded hinges that make holding these phones easier on users’ hands. The Galaxy Z Fold 3 features an unsightly crease where screens overlap when closed, so it would be beneficial if future models featured less intrusive hinges.

    Samsung will unveil their Galaxy Z Flip and Fold 5 foldables at an Unpacked event scheduled to take place late July in Seoul for the first time – previously only in Barcelona, Spain or San Francisco/New York, USA.

    Although rumors regarding new foldables are mostly accurate, we still don’t have concrete details regarding their specifications. It is likely that both the Z Flip 5 and Z Fold 5 will feature improved cameras than their predecessors – the Galaxy Fold 4 had decent cameras for clamshell smartphones but fell below other flagship smartphones’ image quality standards.

    Samsung must maintain their upward trajectory with regard to cameras on its future foldables. Slab phone innovation has stagnated compared to cameras, so foldables offer an opportunity to drive forward the industry again. Oppo, Vivo, Xiaomi and Tecno all compete hard for your attention; therefore Samsung must bring all their resources when unveiling its next smartphones later this year – including upgrades for both Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip 5 foldables when released later on this year.
