Faqs on Xiaomi 13 Ultra

1) What does Xiaomi 13 Ultra Design Renders?

Ans) The Xiaomi 13 Ultra will be the company’s top-end flagship for 2023. The device is confirmed to launch in April with Leica-tuned cameras. Xiaomi did not reveal any other details about the phone. However, tipster OnLeaks, who recently partnered with MySmartPrice exclusively for the Pixel 7 design renders, has now shared the 13 Ultra’s design renders.

The images reveal that the 13 Ultra has a flat frame with rounded corners. It houses the power and volume buttons on the right edge of the phone. At the bottom edge, there is the USB Type-C port, the SIM tray and a speaker grille. There are some cutouts at the top as well, which could be for the secondary microphone, an IR blaster and a speaker grille.

OnLeaks claims that the phone’s White colour variant will have a leather-like finish. There is a massive circular camera module on the back for the quad-camera setup and the dual-LED flash. The camera module is raised on top of the protruded rear panel, which further curves and blends in towards the lower portion of the rear panel.

There is the Xiaomi branding in the left corner. What is missing here is the Leica branding. The final product is likely to ship with the text in the camera module to highlight the collaboration.

On the front, the phone has a curved display with a hole-punch cutout at the top centre. OnLeaks claims that the phone has a circa 6.7-inch 2K AMOLED curved display panel with a 120Hz refresh rate. The phone will measure about 163.18 × 74.64 × 9.57 mm.

Some other details about the phone have leaked as well. The phone’s quad-camera setup will feature a 1-inch 50MP Sony IMX989 main camera on the back. It is also said to get a new secondary sensor. We can also see a periscope lens in the mix. There will be another zoom lens in the quad-camera setup. As per rumours, the 13 Ultra will feature four 50MP sensors on the back.

The front camera will have a 32MP sensor. There will be a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC under the hood with up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 512GB of UFS 4.0 internal storage. The 13 Ultra will feature a 4900mAh battery with support for 90W fast charging and 50W
wireless charging. Lastly, it will boot Android 13-based MIUI 14 out of the box.

2) How is the Xiaomi 13S are out of the plans of Chinese technology?

Ans) It was through the Weibo social network that the person in charge of Xiaomi clarified the issue of Xiaomi 13S. This year, the company will release this mid-year update, so Xiaomi 13 and Xiaomi 13 Pro will remain relevant until the arrival of Xiaomi 14.

Lei Jun did not want to say the reasons that led Xiaomi to choose this decision. She merely confirmed that the high-end “S” line will not feature new items in 2023.

In 2022, Chinese technology launched the Xiaomi 12S and Xiaomi 12S Pro on the market as a slight update to its top of the range. A series of teams that stood out for subtle adjustments in the cameras and the presence of a new processor.

This scenario will not be repeated in 2023, but that is not necessarily bad news for fans of the brand. It means that what the Xiaomi 13 and Xiaomi 13 Pro offer will be good enough to stay relevant through 2023.

Still, we expect the brand to present the Xiaomi 13 Ultra in the middle of this year. This will be the pinnacle of Chinese technology in 2023 and will be the flagship model for those looking for the best possible photography experience.

For now, let’s focus on the global launch of Xiaomi 13 and Xiaomi 13 Pro. This will happen next Sunday (February 26) with Xiaomi taking the stage at MWC 2023 to reveal all the details of the availability of these smartphones in Europe.

3) What are Xiaomi 13 Ultra specifications?

Ans) If rumours are to be believed, then we can expect the Xiaomi 13 Ultra to feature a 6.7-inch 2K AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. The smartphone is expected to be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset paired with up to 16GB of RAM and 512GB of onboard storage. Leaks also suggest the Xiaomi 13 Ultra will run Android 13 OS with MIUI 14 layered on top.

The launch announcement also confirmed that the Xiaomi 13 Ultra will feature Leica-branded camera lenses. When it comes to optics, it could be a quad-camera setup with a 50MP Sony IMX989 sensor and three more 50MP sensors. For selfies, the smartphone is rumoured to sport a 32MP camera. More leaked specifications of the Xiaomi 13 Ultra include a 4,900mAh battery with support for 90W wired and 50W wireless fast charging.

4) What is Xiaomi 13 Ultra design?

Ans) There have been leaks around the phone’s design as well and the event teaser also gave us a glimpse on the camera module. It’s a slightly large circular camera module housing what looks like four sensors. This is in line with the leaked renders of the device which also showed a punch-hole selfie camera and curved edges. The smartphone is also expected to launch in two colour options of White Ceramic and Black leather finish.

5) What is Xiaomi 13 Ultra price (expected)?

Ans) Thanks to several leaks and rumours we also have an idea on how much the Xiaomi 13 Ultra could cost. The smartphone is expected to launch in three variants and start at CNY 2,699 (Rs 75,100) and go up to CNY 7,499 (Rs 89,500).

This pricing is based on the conversion and it will differ depending on the market.

Ans) Dhawan started his professional career with Delhi Under-16s in the 1999/00 Vijay Merchant Trophy. He was the leading run-scorer of the 2000/01 Vijay Merchant Trophy next year.

These two incredible seasons paved his path for India ACC Under-17 Asia Cup. Averaging 85 in the Asia Cup from three games, Dhawan was subsequently drafted into the Delhi Under-19 team in October 2001, for the Cooch Behar Trophy, and then again in October 2002.

With brilliant performances, one over the other, Dhawan became the star of Indian Domestic cricket at a very early age. He then played for North Zone Under-19s, the CK Nayudu Trophy, Cooch Behar Trophy and even captained the Delhi Under-19 team.
In the 2004 Under-19 World Cup in Bangladesh, Dhawan finished as the leading run-scorer of the tournament with a total of 505 runs from seven innings.

Dhawan made his first-class debut for Delhi in November 2004. Dhawan finished as Delhi’s leading run-getter that Ranji season with a total of 461 runs from 6 matches. In 2005/06 Challenger Trophy in October 2005, Dhawan played for India B and had his first disappointing series in a long time. After that, Dhawan played for North Zone against Zimbabwe Cricket Union President’s XI and for Board President’s XI in a three-day match against the touring Sri Lankan team.

He also represented India A EurAsia Cricket Series in April–May 2006. The 2006-07 Ranji season was special for Dhawan for he was made captain of the Delhi team for the Ranji One-day Trophy in February 2007. Dhawan was a part of the victorious Delhi team who won the 2007–08 season. He then played exceptional cricket across tournaments till his career hit the rough patch in 2010 when India A was touring England. His poor form turned around in the limited-overs triangular series involving England lions , India A and West Indies A where scored 166 runs from 4 innings at an average of 41.50 and a strike rate of 130.70.

He was then selected Rest of India squad against the defending Ranji champions Mumbai in the Irani Cup in October 2010. His performance in Irani Cup earned him a spot for India Blue in the Challengers Trophy, which was a bittersweet tournament for him. But it did earn him a national call-up.

Following this Dhawan was in and out of Domestic cricket as he slowly started to become a national team regular. He played Ranji for Delhi in the 2010-11 Ranji Trophy.

It was a poor phase for Dhawan and he struggled with form in Duleep Trophy, Vijay Hazare Trophy, and Deodhar Trophy. It continued in the West Indies, and Dhawan was unable to find a place in the Indian squad that toured England. But Dhawan redeemed himself with his domestic exploits. The

2012-13 Ranji season was probably Dhawan’s last for the foreseeable future as he became an integral part of the national team. He still featured in Delhi’s team whenever he got the time to play from his busy schedule.

OnePlus Nord 3

Coming to the latest leak, this one not only reveals the key specifications of the OnePlus Nord 3 but its India pricing as well. According to tipster Yogesh Brar, OnePlus has begun testing the device in India and in global markets.

The launch timeline for the OnePlus Nord 3 is said to take place six to eight weeks from now, Brar added.

OnePlus recently launched a new Nord series phone. The company launched the Nord CE 3 Lite 5G, which, at least as of now, sits at the bottom of the Nord lineup in India. OnePlus might soon add another phone under the Nord series.

According to a new leak, the OnePlus Nord 3 might debut soon in India. The company has not confirmed any details officially.

However, based on the latest update from the rumour mill, the Nord 3 launch event will be hosted within a couple of months.

Tipster Yogesh Brar has revealed some key details about the upcoming OnePlus Nord series smartphone.

Let’s take a look at the OnePlus Nord 3 specifications, features and other details leaked so far.

OnePlus Nord 3 Specifications

OnePlus Nord 3

According to the leak, the OnePlus Nord 3 will feature a 6.7-inch 1.5K AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate.

The smartphone is said to be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 chipset. It will house three rear cameras comprising of a 64MP primary sensor, an 8MP secondary sensor and a 2MP sensor. For selfies, there will be a 16MP front camera.

The specs match exactly with those of the OnePlus Ace 2V, which launched in last month, further adding fuel to speculations that the Nord 3 is indeed a rebrand.

The OnePlus Nord 3 is also expected to pack a 5,000mAh battery with 80W fast charging support. As for the rest of the details, past leaks suggest up to 12GB of RAM and 256GB of onboard storage for the OnePlus Nord 3.

It is also expected to run Android 13-based OxygenOS 13 out-of-the-box. If we compare the rumoured specifications with the OnePlus Nord 2T, the OnePlus Nord 3 would be a notable upgrade.

OnePlus Nord 3 Price Range in India

As for the India pricing, the tipster suggests the OnePlus Nord 3 will cost somewhere between Rs 30,000 and Rs 40,000.
In comparison, the OnePlus Nord 2T starts at Rs 28,999 in India so it isn’t a hard guess for the price.

Previous sightings of the OnePlus Nord 3 on certification websites also confirm that the phone will come with 5G support.

However, its availability could differ depending on the market.

OnePlus Nord 3 India Launch Seems Imminent

OnePlus Nord 3

The OnePlus Nord 3 5G is likely the flagship product in the company’s Nord lineup in India. It is said to launch in the next six to eight weeks.

Brar, who revealed the details, further added that the company has begun testing the Nord 3 in India and global markets. The tipster did not reveal any specific date but claimed that the Nord 3 launch event will be hosted in the next six to eight weeks. This means that the Nord 3 might debut in May or June 2023.

The company has officially not revealed any details about the same. Brar further added that the Nord 3 will be priced between Rs 30,000 and Rs 40,000 in India.

The Nord 2T 5G, which is currently the most premium offering in the series, has a starting price of Rs 28,999 for the base model with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. The 12GB RAM variant is priced at Rs 33,999.

Considering how prices of most phones have increased over the past year, it would not be a surprise if the Nord 3 is priced higher than the outgoing model.

OnePlus Nord 3

The tipster also revealed some key specifications of the Nord 3 5G. The phone seems like a rebranded version of the OnePlus Ace 2V was launched earlier this year in China.

The handset features a MediaTek Dimensity 9000 SoC under the hood, which is one of the most powerful SoCs out there.

The device will also pack a 5000mAh battery under the hood. The company will offer support for 80W fast charging out of the box. The phone is also said to feature a triple-camera setup on the back.

There will be a 64MP main camera, an 8MP ultra-wide camera and a 2MP macro sensor. If the phone is indeed a rebadged Ace 2V, it might not offer support for optical image stabilisation (OIS). For selfies, the Nord 3 5G is said to feature a 16MP front camera sensor.

Brar did not reveal the RAM and storage options but we can expect the phone to launch in India with up to 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. We can also expect the phone to run Android 13 out of the box and have OxygenOS 13.1 on top.

iOS 17 features for iPhones, as per the latest leak

iOS 17

HIGHLIGHTS

* Tech giant Apple is expected to announce iOS 17 at WWDC 2023, as per tradition.
* iOS 17 is expected to prioritise enhancing performance and stability.
* In iOS 17, more features are expected to be included in Dynamic Island.

Ahead of the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2023, where Apple is expected to unveil its Mixed Reality Headset, a new Mac Pro and the much-anticipated iOS 17, a new leak hints at some of the features of the upcoming iOS 17.

The WWDC event is scheduled to take place between June 5th to June 9th but ahead of that, a Twitter user has come up with a list of the alleged features of iOS 17.

It should be noted that the company has not yet officially revealed any of the features of the upcoming iOS, and while this particular user was on point with a couple of features related to Dynamic Island prior to its announcement in June last year, the new leak should still be taken with a pinch of salt.

A very vague iOS 17 Leak

iOS 17

The leak comes from the user “analyst941” on Twitter accurately shared certain details about the Dynamic Island ahead of last year’s iPhone 14 Pro launch. Still, they don’t have an established multi-year track record of accurate leaks. The vagueness of this rumor also makes us question it more than usual. With that said, we’d treat this rumor with a decent amount of skepticism for the time being.

In a thread on Twitter, the source outlined a rundown of “everything” they “know” about “what’s new in iOS 17.”

First and foremost, the source claims that iOS 17 will support all models of the iPhone that are supported by iOS 16. There are apparently still questions about iPadOS 17’s device compatibility, however, and the source says iPads powered by the A9 and A10 Fusion chips could be dropped this year. Apple will reportedly make a final decision about this sometime in the next two to three weeks.

iOS 17

“Performance, efficiency, stability, and long-term support for older devices are the main features of this update,” according to the leak. Among the “new features” in development are:

* Additional settings for the iPhone 14 Pro’s Always-On Display
* Additional filters for Focus modes
* “Changes and additional options” for managing notifications
* Custom Accessibility Mode
* Car Key “improvements” and “more car implementations into the Wallet app”
* UI changes to the Health app, including changes to the “Favorites” interface
* “Heavily improved” features for Search and Spotlight
* “An absolute behemoth of ARKit API’s/frameworks”
* “The Dynamic Island will do a lot more”
* “Camera app changes; these were initially planned for the iPhone 14 Pro release, and MAY only be implemented into iPhone 15’s OS, rather than all iOS 17 devices.”

Finally, and perhaps most notably, the leak suggests that Apple is testing “active widgets” that will “bring one-tap buttons, sliders, and more” to help make widgets more “dynamic.” This feature, however, is said to be “in testing, but not confirmed by any means.”

Unfortunately, that’s about all this leak offers up. It outlines some broad areas on which Apple is allegedly focusing with iOS 17, but it doesn’t offer many specific details. As we said earlier, treat it with a grain of salt. Apple will officially announce iOS 17 in less than two months at WWDC 2023.

iOS 17 features: What to Expect?

iOS 17

According to the source, iOS 17 will be compatible with all iPhone models that are currently supported by iOS 16. There are still uncertainties regarding the compatibility of devices with iPadOS 17. It is possible that iPads that are powered by A9 and A10 Fusion chips may not be supported this year.

The source claimed that there will be more Focus Mode filters in Settings along with notification changes and additional options in Settings. It is also mentioned that custom accessibility settings will provide complete control over the user interface and layout, particularly for older individuals or younger children.

Other changes include:

* CarKey improvements
* Health app UI changes
* Camera app changes
* Improved Search/Spotlight
* More features will be included in the Dynamic Island

iOS 17

As per a recent report, iOS 17 will prioritise enhancing performance and stability, suggesting that a revamped Control Center may be among the most prominent updates.

An earlier report indicated that the original plan for iOS 17 was to release a bug fix update.
However, later plans were changed and now it is expected that the update will bring new features, including an updated CarPlay experience, adjustments to Siri, the ability to sideload and access rival app stores, support for Apple’s mixed-reality headset, as well as other enhancements and new features.

Camera app changes could be limited to iPhone 15

iOS 17

Apple is preparing several changes and improvements to the Camera app as a part of iOS 17. However, the leaker says these changes might remain exclusive to the iPhone 15 series and may not make it to all iOS 17 compatible devices.

The source of this leak previously accurately revealed information about the iPhone 14 Pro’s Dynamic Island. So, the source has a relatively accurate track record, though it is always best to take such rumors with a pinch of salt.

Stay tuned for more updates about the upcoming iOS 17.

FAQ’s on iOS 17

1) iOS 17 to get a redesigned Control Center? Details

Ans) Control Center was first introduced with iOS 7, and it lets users quickly access Wi-Fi, cellular, and Bluetooth settings, as well as media controls and shortcuts to some native apps.

According to an anonymous leaker in the MacRumors Forums, the Control Center will be completely redesigned in iOS 17.

There are no details about what exactly will change with the new Control Center, but presumably, Apple will let users further customize it.

Currently, users can only rearrange some of the Control Center items and add more shortcuts from a preset list of options.

If true, this will be the first time Apple has redesigned Control Center since iOS 11 in 2017, when the company made it a full-screen menu in preparation for the iPhone X that year.
The report comes from the same leaker who shared precise details about the Dynamic Island of the iPhone 14 Pro weeks before the official announcement of the new iPhones.

At first, Bloomberg had reported that iOS 17 would be a minor update focused on improving the overall stability of the system. However, journalist Mark Gurman said last month that Apple changed its strategy and asked engineers to add features much requested by iPhone and iPad users.

Also according to rumors, Apple may drop support for iPhone 8, iPhone X, and the first-generation iPad Pro with iOS 17 and iPadOS 17.
Apple will officially announce iOS 17 at WWDC 2023, as well as other major OS versions, like watchOS 10, tvOS 17, and macOS 14.

We also expect that WWDC will be the event where Apple unveils the long-awaited headset project. WWDC 2023 will take place June 5-9, with a special opening event in Apple Park.

2) What does the control centre of the iPhone suggest ?

Ans) The menu provides iPhone users with convenient access to controls for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, display brightness, volume, and many other system functions. On the iPhone X and newer, Control Center can be opened by swiping down from the top-right corner of the screen.

Introduced with iOS 7, Control Center turns 10 this year. On a speculative basis, Apple  could make Control Center more customizable and revamp the menu’s design after six years of minimal changes, but exact changes if any remain to be seen.

While the forum member has a proven track record, this rumor has yet to be corroborated by other sources, and Apple’s plans are subject to change.

3) What’s happening on the Apple dropping iOS 17 on iPhone devices ?

Ans) iPhones and other Apple devices typically run the latest operating system versions without problems for at least five years before some features become unsupported. That’s a big part of the reason why Apple hardware has such a high resale value.
But with iOS 17, a maintenance update with only a handful of new features, the Cupertino technology giant is understood to remove support for certain older iPhones and iPads powered by the A10 chip for reasons dealing with security.

7) iOS 17 should mark the end of the road for Which devices:?
