September 30, 2024

Highlights

The upcoming OnePlus 13 first look was revealed from official sources.
To feature a second-generation Oriental Screen by BOE.
Other expected features include Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor, up to 24GB of RAM, a 32MP front camera with a triple 50MP rear camera setup and a 6,000mAh battery.

We have been hearing rumours about OnePlus 13 and getting updates from unofficial sources for months now. It looks like we finally have an update officially from OnePlus itself.

Louis Lee President of OnePlus China recently shared the first look at the upcoming phone on Weibo. The image reveals the front display panel with a slim-bezel design and a punch-hole cutout for the front camera.

A previously leaked image has revealed the back design of the upcoming OnePlus 13. It shows a different camera module design compared to the OnePlus 12.

President of OnePlus China, Louis Lee posted on Weibo.

Lee posted, as we translate thanks to Google Translate, “Thanks to the efforts of our display partners, we have another good news to share with you before the holiday: the world’s first “second-generation Oriental Screen” was successfully lit! Today we completed the outdoor lighting test of this screen at the @京方BOE technology exhibition. In terms of screen quality, last year’s OnePlus 12 “Oriental Screen” was already the pinnacle. Soon, the “second-generation Oriental Screen” will bring even more outstanding performance, and the effect [Laughs but says nothing]will be far ahead of others”

Apart from the first look of the phone, what caught attention was how Lee’s post revealed the key highlight of the OnePlus 13 – the second-generation Oriental Screen by BOE.

Previously, we had OnePlus 12 featuring the first generation of the same screen. So, it is understandable that the next OnePlus is upgrading to a new Oriental Screen.

The OnePlus 13’s 100W wired charging could be a real game-changer.

The OnePlus 12 screen offered a whooping 4,500 nits peak brightness, 3168x1440p resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, 2160Hz high-frequency PWM dimming, and a pixel density of 510 PPI.

As per Lee, the upcoming smartphone display will offer even better performance compared to this. However, the exact upgrades and specific display features are still under wraps.

But what about the rest of the features? Here’s what we know so far about the OnePlus 13.

OnePlus 13 Specifications (Expected)

In terms of performance, benchmark scores for the OnePlus 13 have surfaced, showing impressive results

The OnePlus 13 is expected to come equipped with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor. This will be paired with up to 24GB of LPDDR5X RAM.

The upcoming smartphone will likely house a massive 6,000mAh battery, supporting 100W wired charging and 50W wireless charging.

For photography, the OnePlus 13 will sport a 32MP front camera, while the rear will house a triple camera setup with three 50MP sensors (LYT-808 with OIS for the primary, LYT-600 for ultra-wide, and LYT-600 for 3x periscope zoom).

The phone will also feature an IP69 rating, a metallic frame, an alert slider, and a 0916 Turbo haptic motor for enhanced user experience.

Tech news reports have revealed that some users have spotted the feature in the app. However, as we crosschecked, the location tagging feature isn’t available to everyone as of now.

For those users who are getting the location tagging feature, the app shows nearby places to tag. Users can otherwise manually search for a location.

The recent Engadget report stated, “When you give Threads access to your location, you’ll see a list of nearby places to tag, though you can also manually search for a place. For example, I saw that a few users already jokingly tagged their posts as “hell.”

Apple is gearing up to make a fresh entry in the smart display category next year. The Cupertino giant might just go ahead and release not one but two smart display devices in 2025. As per reports, these will be powered by a new operating system called “HomeOS.” In his recent Power On newsletter, Bloomberg’s famous Apple reported Mark Gurman made these exciting revelations.

Currently, Amazon Echo and Google Nest are popular in the smart display segment. With Apple entering the competition potentially as soon as next year, it is going to be interesting to see what design and innovation all these big brands bring to provide value to the consumer.

According to Gurman’s reports, Apple is developing two smart displays. The aim is to bring Apple Intelligence to homes.

The first product that Apple is working on is code-named J595. It is expected to be a high-end device featuring a large screen and a robotic arm. This will move or rotate to follow the user’s voice or keep them in the camera frame.

The second display in working is code-named J490. It is supposedly the more affordable option designed primarily for FaceTime calls and smart home control. It will focus on everyday tasks such as managing apps such as Calendar, Notes, and Home.

Then comes the new operating system that Gurman hinted about. Apple is reportedly powering smart displays with a new operating system built on the foundation of tvOS. It is being referred to as HomeOS.

It is expected to be different from anything we have seen in current Apple devices. These smart displays will have hardware capable of onboard AI processing. This will eventually allow devices to run Apple’s AI features locally.

However, it is important to note that not much about price or features has been revealed officially or even unofficially yet. All we know as of now is from Gurman’s reports.

The first of which is expected to arrive as soon as 2025, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman.

The report hints that the more high-end display is expected to cost over $1,000. Meanwhile, the other one could be a more budget-friendly option.

Apple smart displays are anticipated to launch as early as 2025.

It will be Apple’s entry into yet another competitive market and it looks like Apple is planning to keep Apple Intelligence at the forefront here as well.

FAQs

Q1. What are Apple’s plans for entering the smart display market?

Answer. Apple is planning to release two new smart display devices in 2025, powered by a new operating system called HomeOS. The high-end model, code-named J595, will feature a large screen and a robotic arm, while the more affordable J490 will focus on FaceTime and smart home control.

Q3. What is HomeOS, and how will it impact Apple’s smart displays?

Answer. HomeOS is a new operating system built on the foundation of tvOS, designed for Apple’s smart displays. It will support onboard AI processing, enabling advanced Apple Intelligence features to run locally on the devices.

Highlights

Rumoured Huawei Mate 70 Pro launch in November.
Leaked live images show a curved display and circular camera module with five cameras.
Expected specs include the new Kirin 9100 chipset.

It was previously leaked in the tech community that Huawei is getting ready to launch its next big smartphone Mate 70 Pro by November. While we have heard that the Huawei Mate 70 Pro will be the next flagship for the Chinese manufacturers, the brand has not made any details official. However, constant rumours and leaks are keeping the buzz around the upcoming flagship alive. Most recently, Gizmochina published some live images citing an online source.

Huawei Mate 70 Pro – Leaked Live Image

The Chinese tech news website Gizmochina, in one of its recent reports, revealed Huawei Mate 70 Pro live images that the report claims have surfaced online for the first time.

The leaked image shows a Huawei executive holding the Mate 70 Pro. The image gives a glimpse of the design of the phone.

The phone is expected to feature a circular camera module on the back with five cameras. The display seems to curve along all edges. It looks very similar to other flagship models.

While the case covering the phone hides some details, the image does reveal some other design details.

For example, we can see the volume rocker and a possibly accented power button on the right side. The case also has three cutouts at the top, likely for a SIM tray, microphone, and IR blaster.

Huawei Mate 70 Pro – Specs (Rumoured)

The Mate 70 Pro is rumoured to be powered by Huawei’s new Kirin 9100 chipset.

Huawei Mate 60 Pro front image surfaced online earlier. (Image credit – Gizmochina)

If the reports about the processor are true, we can expect improved performance and efficiency over the Kirin 9000S processor previously seen in the predecessor Mate 60 Pro.

Certain previous reports hinted Mate 70 Pro will most likely feature a triple camera setup. This could be a 60MP main, 12MP ultrawide and 48MP telephoto combination. However, if we carefully look at the recently leaked image, it suggests a five-camera system.

So, basically, there is still some room for speculation when it comes to the camera setup of Huawei’s upcoming flagship model.

Moreover, all these details can prove to be false when Huawei officially unveils the Mate 70 Pro.

We can expect more details to emerge by mid-October or so. Until then, it is exciting to keep track of all the rumours and leaks.

The Wall Street Journal recently reported that Apple has decided not to invest in OpenAI. This news, if true, is coming amidst reports of the Chat-GPT creator closing a $6.5 billion funding round. Major tech giants Microsoft and Nvidia are expected to be major contributors.

The WSJ report states, “Apple is no longer in talks to participate in an OpenAI funding round expected to raise as much as $6.5 billion, an 11th-hour end to what would have been a rare investment by the iPhone maker in another major Silicon Valley company.

Apple recently fell out of the talks to join the round, which is slated to close next week, according to a knowledgeable person.”

Apple was previously rumoured to be considering an investment in OpenAI. However, the investment amount was never confirmed. Meanwhile, Microsoft is reportedly set to expand its investment with an additional $1 billion. It already is a significant stakeholder in OpenAI with a 49% share of profits.

If the reports of Apple backing out from a potential investment in OpenAI are true, this comes at an interesting time. Both Apple and OpenAI are currently in the middle of leadership change.

On one hand, former Apple design chief Jony Ive is now working with OpenAI to create an AI hardware product. On the other hand, Apple is partnering with OpenAI to integrate ChatGPT into iOS 18 later this year.

The collaboration will allow ChatGPT to assist with world knowledge requests. This will work alongside Siri. Reports also suggest there will not be any financial exchange between the companies. It was revealed in a Bloomberg report that Apple believes iOS 18 integration with OpenAI is “of equal or greater value” than monetary benefit.

OpenAI’s Growing Valuation, Financials and Sam Altman’s Equity

OpenAI is valued at $150 billion in this latest funding round. It is a huge jump from last year’s $30 billion valuation following Microsoft’s investment.

The company expects to generate $3.7 billion in revenue this year. The primary source for this is ChatGPT subscriptions and AI services, mostly provided to tech companies.

However, a whopping $5 billion in loss is expected due to the high costs of AI development even with the impressive revenue.

OpenAI expects its revenue to triple next year to $11.6 billion. The company further projects its revenue to reach $100 billion by 2029. Interestingly, it is the same time when OpenAI plans to increase ChatGPT+ cost to $44 per month.

Reports doing rounds in the media suggest CEO Sam Altman is set to gain a 7% equity stake worth $10.5 billion in the company.

Altman was briefly fired by OpenAI’s board last year. He was reinstated following protests from employees and a board reshuffle. However, after his return, several senior employees including the CTO and Chief Scientist have left the company.

Meanwhile, certain rumours have increased the buzz around OpenAI switching from a non to a for-profit company. If true, the new business model will allow for the removal of any caps on investor returns. This will also provide more room for all parties to negotiate and for new investors to possibly get higher rates.

OpenAI’s ChatGPT+ Pricing to Increase

The New York Times recently reported that OpenAI is also planning changes to its ChatGPT+ subscription costs.

The ChatGPT+ subscription is currently priced at $20 per month. Reports now suggest it will rise to $22 by the end of the year and could potentially reach close to $44 per month over the next five years.

ChatGPT+ provides users access to advanced AI models including the image generation tool, DALL-E.

OpenAI has 10 million subscribers to the service.

FAQs

Q1. Will OpenAI increase the price of ChatGPT+?

Answer. Yes, OpenAI plans to increase the price of ChatGPT+. Currently priced at $20 per month, the subscription will rise to $22 by the end of this year and eventually reach $44 per month over the next five years.

Q2. What is OpenAI’s current valuation and revenue outlook?

Answer. OpenAI is valued at $150 billion following its latest funding round. The company expects to generate $3.7 billion in revenue this year but also anticipates a $5 billion loss due to high expenses. By 2029, OpenAI projects its revenue to reach $100 billion.
