HIGHLIGHTS

* Samsung Galaxy S23 Fan Edition has been officially confirmed.
* It is expected to launch soon before the end of this year .
* Its live image has appeared through WPC certification.
* Samsung Galaxy S23 FE bears the model number SM-S711U.
* The marketing name of the phone has been confirmed through the Wireless Power Consortium website.

Back in 2008, the Samsung Galaxy S23 FE Wireless Power Consortium was formed to promote the universal and widespread usage of a wireless charging standard among all types of phones.

That led to the creation of the Qi standard, which is a form of power transfer that most of the best wireless chargers are using today.

It seems like someone made a slight mistake on the Wireless Power Consortium website, however, as a listing for the all-but-confirmed Galaxy S23 FE has appeared.

The Samsung Galaxy S23 FE has been confirmed to be in the works and is expected to debut later this year.

Samsung Galaxy S23 FE 3C Certification

After appearing on China’s 3C certification and Geekbench, the upcoming Samsung phone appeared on the Wireless Power Consortium website this week.

This reveals Qi wireless charging support and it confirms the phone’s name and model number SM-S711U.

There is also an image of the phone in complete black but the design appears similar to the renders that leaked recently. Beyond this, the listing doesn’t give any information about the specifications.

Samsung launched the Z Fold5 and Z Flip5 smartphones yesterday, and now we all are waiting on the next big innovation of Samsung .

Next in line is S24 flagship series, but we are actually first the Galaxy S23 FE is expected to launch as it was certified by WPC (Wireless Power Consortium) with a live photo of its front panel.

Meanwhile Justin Hume, VP of Mobile at Samsung South Africa, spoke to Android Authority confirming the phone is “imminently coming”.

The executive admitted there is an FE-sized gap in the company’s portfolio between the Galaxy A54 and the Galaxy S23.

The phone is expected to have an Exynos 2200 chipset, although we also heard reports on Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and we might see the phone with different chips in different markets.

In the listing, an image of what is presumed to be the Galaxy S23 FE is pictured (via Slashleaks).

The phone in the post matches what we’ve seen from previous leaked illustrations, too. As we noted before, it looks more like the Samsung Galaxy A54 line of phones than the flagship S23.

In addition, the page notes some of the S23 FE’s wireless charging info, much of which is the exact same as the rest of the S23 line of phones.

Samsung Galaxy S23 FE Launch Imminent

While the S23 FE utilizing the same Qi wireless charging standard was expected and assumed by consumers, it’s nice to see yet another bit of proof that an announcement of the S23 FE is imminent.

Just recently, in an interview done by Android Authority, Samsung’s vice president of mobile for Samsung South Africa Justin Hume said that there is an “FE-sized gap” between the Samsung Galaxy A54 G5 and the S23.

He also said that there was to be an “imminent” announcement made. We can presume that Hume is talking about the S23 FE, especially due to leaks like this Wireless Power Consortium posting.

Images suggested Samsung Galaxy S23 FE might match the body of the Galaxy A54 with a top-tier chipset, and since the phone is on its way, we will only have to wait for some more time to see it .

According to the publication, during an interview, Justin Hume, the vice president of mobile for Samsung South Africa, was asked about the gap between the Galaxy A54 5G and the Galaxy S23.

He responded by acknowledging that there is an FE-sized gap between the two models at present. However, he hinted at an upcoming announcement, suggesting that Samsung is planning to fill that gap soon.

Recent reports have revealed that Samsung plans to launch the Galaxy S23 FE in the third quarter of this year in some markets. It is expected to arrive in other markets in the last quarter of this year and the first quarter of 2024.

Galaxy S23 FE To Use Exynos 2200 CPU

Some leaks of the S23 FE say that the device will have a 50MP camera that matches what the main S23 has.

It is also rumored to use the Samsung-made Exynos 2200 CPU, which may be quite disappointing to potential buyers.

The rest of the S23 line uses Snapdragon processors worldwide, which have shown to be much faster than Samsung chipsets.

Regardless of what’s inside the S23 FE, it’s nice to see this type of phone return after the lack of a Fan Edition in the S22 line. It’s been over a year and a half since the S21 FE was released.

How soon the S23 FE’s release is depends on how quick the announcement is going to happen ,and that may be sooner than we think.

Samsung Galaxy S23 FE Specifications (Rumoured)

As per recent reports, the Galaxy S23 FE will come equipped with the Exynos 2200 chip. It is unclear whether Samsung plans to launch the S23 FE with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 onboard in other markets.

The device is expected to feature a 6.4-inch S-AMOLED display that offers an FHD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate.
It will pack a 4,500mAh battery with 25W wired charging, 15W wireless charging, and reverse wireless charging.

The Galaxy S23 FE will ship with 6GB / 8GB of LPDDR5 RAM, 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage, and One UI 5.1.1-based Android 13. It will have a 32-megapixel front camera and an OIS-assisted 50-megapixel triple camera unit on the back.

For those unaware, the Chinese tech giant is gearing up to launch the 13T and 13T Pro smartphones. The latter is the higher-end model, which was spotted on the IMDA certification website carrying the model number 23078PND5G (Via TechOutlook).

This listing reveals that the device will support Bluetooth, WiFi, and NFC connectivity, which isn’t groundbreaking information. However, such a listing does hint that the Xiaomi 13T Pro’s launch isn’t too far off.

Just a couple of days ago, the UK pricing of the device and its launch date was leaked on Amazon. The smartphone would apparently cost around £799, which is about £100 higher than the £699 price tag of its predecessor.

Apart from this, another leak also hinted at some of its key specifications as well. The Xiaomi 13T Pro will reportedly be equipped with the MediaTek Dimensity 9200+ SoC that will be paired with up to 12GB of RAM and 512GB of internal storage.

The device will likely run on Android 13 OS based MIUI 4 out of the box as well. Under the hood, a large 5,000mAh battery pack is expected to power the device, which might support 120W fast charging as well.

So stick around for more as we will be offering updates when additional information is available regarding this device.

The IMDA certification of the upcoming smartphone indicates that the global launch of the smartphone is nearing. The listing reveals that the upcoming 13T Pro smartphone will bear the model number 23078PND5G.

Previously, the IMEI database listing had revealed the same model number for the forthcoming device. The IMDA certification also adds that the device will have Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and NFC connectivity.

The upcoming Xiaomi 13T Pro smartphone will likely be an affordable variant of the vanilla Xiaomi 13 Pro.
Amazon UK had accidentally listed the 12GB + 512GB variant for £799 (approx. Rs 83,400).
Xiaomi would also launch the smartphone in 12GB + 256GB configuration.

The Amazon listing also reveals that the brand will launch the device in a Meadow Green colour variant.
Xiaomi will continue the Leica partnership with the upcoming Xiaomi 13T series smartphones.

Amazon UK listing indicates that the device would have a leading 4nm processor. The smartphone could be equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 or MediaTek Dimensity 9200+ chipset.
The previous trends of Xiaomi ‘T” series smartphones indicate that the Pro version will likely be equipped with a Qualcomm chipset built on a 4nm process.

The Amazon listing also confirms that the device will be backed by a 5000 mAh battery which supports 120W fast charging tech. Xiaomi will equip the smartphone with a CrystalRes AMOLED display with a refresh rate of 144Hz.

The smartphone will run on MIUI 14 based on Android 13 out of the box. Tipster Snoopytech reveals that Xiaomi will launch the smartphone on September 2023.

The vanilla 13T smartphone is also tipped to launch alongside the 13T Pro smartphone in September 2023.
The vanilla model will likely feature a MediaTek Dimensity chipset built on a 4nm process. The chipset will pair with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.

The primary difference between both smartphones would be the chipset, configurations, and fast charging speeds. The device will be backed by a 5000 mAh battery with 67W fast charging support.

Xiaomi will likely price the smartphone at £599 (approx. Rs 62,470) for the 8GB + 256GB variant.

The Xiaomi 13T Pro is expected to come as a rebadged Redmi K60 Ultra. According to the leaked listing, the Xiaomi 13T Pro will launch with up to 12 GB of RAM and 512 GB of Internal Storage.
The listing suggests that the 13T Pro variant with 12GB and 512 GB will cost £799.

That’s £100 more than the 12T Pro, but there are a lot of factors to consider.
The Xiaomi 13T Pro will have the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, and inflation has stroke the world in the past months, so smartphones are costing more than used to cost one year ago.

The phone will also sell in a 12GB/256GB trim which will cost less. The listing also confirms the launch date for September 1, with shipments starting on September 6.

The Amazon UK listing also revealed that the phone will launch in a Meadow Green color. It will come with a 144 HZ CrystalRes AMOLED screen and will get Leica tuning on the back. It will be the first T-series smartphone to employ Leica tuning.

In addition to that, the listing also suggests a 5,000 mAh battery with 67W fast charging.  Apparently, the phone won’t employ the 120W charging of the Redmi K60 Ultra.

The Xiaomi 13T Pro was teased with a “flagship 4nm processor”, which is believed to be the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.

The 13T Pro, on the other hand, will come with a “leading 4nm chipset”, which is rumored to be the Dimensity 9200. Both devices will run Android 13-based MIUI 14 straight out of the box.

There is a long road ahead until September 1. Therefore, we expect many more details to appear in the next weeks.
Xiaomi will also do its best to build the hype for its next flagship devices.

Indian Video Game makers write to PMO, Meity; request for clear distinction From Real Money Games

HIGHLIGHTS

* 45 Indian video game companies have written a joint letter to PMO Office to seek clarification from Real Money Games and Video games over 28% Online Gaming Tax.
* The letter stated that the lack of distinction has created the scope that that the decision to apply a 28% GST on real-money gambling will affect the whole gaming business in India.
* The GST Council will meet on 2 August via Video conference to take final decision on on the levy of 28 per cent GST on online gaming, casinos, and horse racing.

Amidst the ongoing outcry against the 28 per cent goods and services tax (GST) imposed on all online games, on Wednesday, as many as 45 video game companies in India, wrote to the Prime Minister’s Office, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology and the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, seeking a public clarification distinguishing between the real-money gaming industry and video games, to dispel “widespread confusion”, clubbing the two together and assuming that the high tax slab was applicable to the latter, when it is not.

The 28 per cent levy is on real money gaming industry, which consists of fantasy sports, poker and rummy among others where users can deposit money and compete with other users, a move that the industry widely criticised.

The generic term “online gaming”, used by the government as well as the real money gaming industry has triggered the confusion.

Video gaming companies including Outlier Games, SuperGaming, Firebolt Entertainment, Nodding Heads Games, Hitwicket, 99Games and GameEon Studios among others have now requested an audience with the government to discuss the issue and arrive at a distinction.

This has resulted in hesitation to invest in Indian video game companies and discouraged potential investments, co-productions, and strategic partnerships,” it further added.

It may be recalled that earlier this week, investors in online gaming also wrote a letter to the Prime Minister’s office, lobbying against the 28 per cent levy.

The video game companies are now calling for categorising games that involve wagering real money as ‘iGaming’, as is standard practice globally. “To sustain and further develop our industry’s growth trajectory and economic contributions, we emphasise the critical need for clear differentiation and categorisation of video games as separate entities from real money games and fantasy sports (iGaming) as it is done across the world,” the letter said.

“With every new law, comes some amount of misinterpretation,” said Tarun Hinduja, founder and director of Firebolt Entertainment, adding that clear distinction will boost the growing gaming industry.

“Let me break the bubble – the Indian game industry is more than Real Money Games, and believe it or not, they are here to stay. No matter what they try to tell you on social media, your beloved games will not be taxed 28 per cent; that privilege is reserved for Real Money Games,” said Chirag Chopra, founder and CEO, Lucid Labs. “So, as long as you are not chasing the fake paradise, you can continue enjoying your Clash of Clans, Valorant, and PUBG,” he added.

About 50 video game developers have petitioned the government to clarify the policy distinctions between video games and real-money gaming and fantasy sports companies, The Economic Times (ET) reported on Thursday.

In a joint letter, developers, including Outlier Games, Dot9 Games, Lucid Labs, Newgen Gaming and SuperGaming, stated that media campaigns by the real money gaming industry “project a homogenous image and suggest that the entire games industry of India is adversely affected” by the proposed 28 per cent goods and service tax (GST) on online gaming.

The letter, sent to the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) and the ministries of electronics & information technology (MeitY) and information & broadcasting, said, “Globally, irrespective of skill or chance, a clear distinction is drawn between games involving wagering (categorised as ‘iGaming’) and games without wagering (categorised as ‘video games’). Unfortunately, in India, these mutually exclusive categories have been consolidated under the common umbrella of ‘online games’.”

On July 11, the Goods and Services Tax (GST) Council decided to impose a 28 per cent tax on the turnover of online gaming companies, horse racing and casinos.

The panel, headed by the Union finance minister and comprising representatives of all states and UTs, decided on the tax rate based on the recommendation of a group of ministers that looked at taxing casinos, horse racing and online gaming.

The tax on online gaming firms would be imposed without making any distinction based on whether the games required skill or were based on chance. The council exempted those games that are played without stakes, which will attract a tax rate of 18 per cent.

A government official said that the GST Council would meet on August 2 to decide if the tax should be imposed only once on the total funds deposited to play an online game or each time a bet is placed – something the gaming industry fears will lead to repeated taxation.

Since Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced the plan for the tax on July 11, the online gaming industry has asked the government to review the decision, which they say will increase the tax burden on both companies and consumers.

Faqs

1) What the letter says ?

Ans) ET has reviewed the copy of the letter which has been sent to the Prime Minister’s Office, the ministry of electronics and information technology (MeitY), and the ministry of information and broadcasting (I&B). “Globally, irrespective of skill or chance, a clear distinction is drawn between games involving wagering (categorised as ‘iGaming’) and games without wagering (categorised as ‘video games’). Unfortunately, in India, these mutually exclusive categories have been consolidated under the common umbrella of ‘online games’,” said the letter.

“…we wish to express our sincere appreciation to the GST Council, the Department of Revenue, and the Government of India for exempting Video Games from the recent 28% GST decision. Recognising that Video Games do not involve any form of wagering or staking, we are truly grateful for this thoughtful consideration, which acknowledges the diversity of business models within our industry,” the letter added.

Incidentally, this is not the first time that video game developers have sought this demarcation. The need to make clear differentiation has been there since quite some time and was also raised following the notification of online gaming rules issued by MeitY in April.

2) What is Real money gaming industry’s plea?

Ans) The real money gaming industry on its part claims that the GST Council’s decision of 28% tax could drive users away to illegitimate gambling and betting platforms. In addition, investors in these companies have also argued that the decision could lead to a potential write-off of the $2.5 billion capital invested in the sector.

The letter requests the Indian government to implement a distinct recognition of the games industry in India, and to avoid video games and e-sports from being clubbed with real money gaming and online fantasy sports.

3) What is a Video Game in India?

Ans) The letter’s signatories, which include Indian video game companies such as SuperGaming, Outlier Games, GameEon Studios, and others, have underlined that the newly announced 28% GST on online gaming does not apply to video games. “The Indian Video Games Industry (valued at $812 million — about Rs. 6,660 crore — as of 2022) has not been impacted by recent GST developments because these sectors continue to be taxed at 18 percent and will be assisted by the Indian government through the planned AVGC-XR Policy,” the game companies’ consortium said in a press release.

Furthermore, the signed letter to the PMO, MeitY, and the I&B Ministry demands a clear distinction between video games and real money gaming/ fantasy sports, noting false information methods that link the two. “While this assertion is objectively false, due to the usage of an overly broad term like ‘Online Games’ different industries are unjustly clubbed together, leading to widespread confusion. This confusion, in turn, fueled controversies and heated debates surrounding the imposition of 28 percent GST,” according to the letter.

As a result, video game companies have urged for games that involve wagering real money to be classified as ‘iGaming,’ as is typical practise internationally. “In order to sustain and further develop our industry’s growth trajectory and economic contributions, we emphasise the critical need for clear differentiation and categorization of Video Games as separate entities from Real Money Games and Fantasy Sports (iGaming),” the letter states.

The PR further adds that global market revenue of $184 billion excludes revenue from RMGs and Fantasy Sports. The letter also claims that the umbrella term “online gaming,” and its subsequent link with real money games, has left the Indian video game sector dealing with “unfair social stigma” and “clouded investor perception.”

While video games are not included in the new taxation policy, a 28 percent GST will be paid on fantasy cricket applications, which have grown in popularity in the country in recent years, as well as other fantasy and real-money games. These applications have also prompted worries among gamers about addiction, which might lead to financial harm if real money wagering is involved.

HIGHLIGHTS

* OnePlus has confirmed the launch date of the upcoming Ace 2 Pro smartphone.
* The company has also confirmed some key specifications of the device.
* The device was recently spotted in 3C certification website.
* OnePlus Ace 2 Pro is expected to launch next month.
* The smartphone was spotted on Geekbench last week and has now received China’s 3C certification.

OnePlus has announced that its Ace 2 Pro smartphone in the OnePlus Ace series which will be introduced in August will be the world’s first aerospace-grade three-dimensional cooling system: Tiangong cooling system

OnePlus said that the Tiangong cooling system will be the most powerful VC in the industry at present, and this VC is at least two generations ahead of the industry.

Heat Dissipation Area

The VC area reaches 9140mm², the only 10,000-level VC in the industry, and is more than twice the mainstream specification of a single-chip VC in the industry.

Spatial structure

Tiangong cooling system is the world’s first aerospace-level space cooling structure, bringing the mobile phone cooling system to the era of three-dimensional cooling.

Through the innovation of space structure, OnePlus said that it has integrated dual-circulation heat dissipation system in a piece of VC.

The working water volume is doubled, which can absorb more heat; at the same time, the cavity volume of the gas-liquid circulation is doubled, from the traditional single-heat zone gasification to double-heat zone gasification; the heat source contact area is several times.

The substantial increase has increased the equivalent cooling cycle speed by 50%.
The Tiangong Cooling System is the first in the world to imitate the heat dissipation structure of the space rocket engine nozzle design, bringing the Laval airway on the space rocket into the mobile phone VC.

The dual-circulation design and the Laval air channel have raised the industry’s planar heat dissipation dimension to the space heat dissipation dimension, and the heat dissipation efficiency has been improved intergenerationally, and the heat conduction capacity has increased to 4 times that of the industry’s traditional VC.

Aerospace-grade heat dissipation Materials

This uses world’s first aerospace-grade diamond thermally conductive gel and aerospace-grade superconducting thermal graphite.

Compared with the previous generation, its thermal conductivity has increased by 60%. The new generation of aerospace-grade superconducting thermal graphite, compared with the heat-dissipating graphite currently commonly used in the industry, has a 41% increase in thermal conductivity.

The Tiangong cooling system can adapt to all scenarios, from daily use to heavy games, covering almost all usage scenarios of mobile phones, said the company.

It also posted a video demo. In the 1-minute and 3-minute tests of 6.5w (the power consumption of the phone when playing Genshin Impact in high settings), it is 8.5°C and 12.8°C ahead of its competitors, respectively.
In the 1-minute and 3-minute tests of 8W, we were 8.7°C and 14.4°C ahead of the competitors, said the company.

The Tiangong cooling system allows the performance of mobile phones to reach an unprecedented new height. It makes the ultimate gaming experience and a comprehensive and smooth performance experience possible, said OnePlus.

Though huge bezels and chin size are a turn-off. The MediaTek Dimensity 6020 5G chipset used in the device has a good record and when combined with 8 GB RAM, it does ensure reliable performance.

The camera setup, featuring a 64MP main camera and 16MP selfie camera, captures decent quality photos, and the 33W SuperVOOC Charge allows for quick battery replenishment.

Now all this when looked at from the price point can seem a bit underwhelming.

This is more is Realme’s case because they have better smartphones already floating in the segment.

The Realme Narzo 60 Pro is an impressive smartphone that offers a host of features and capabilities. From its design to its hardware and camera performance, the Narzo 60 Pro stands out in several aspects.

However, the storage and camera are one aspect where the Narzo 60 Pro is ready to leave all its competitors behind.

Q4. What display features does the Realme Narzo 60 Pro offer?

Answer. The Realme Narzo 60 Pro boasts a 6.7-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, a 1260Hz instant touch sampling rate, and a local peak brightness of 950 nits. It also has a 93.65% screen-to-body ratio and supports HDR 10+ certification.

Q5. What is the RAM capacity of the Realme Narzo 60 Pro?

Answer. The Realme Narzo 60 Pro offers a massive 24GB of RAM, comprising 12GB of physical RAM and an additional 12GB of dynamic RAM, allowing for smooth multitasking and efficient performance.

6) What is Price & Availability of Realme Narzo 60 Pro 5G?

Ans) Realme Narzo 60 Pro 5G is available in 3 variants. There is a variant with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage priced at ₹23,999. Then there is a variant with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage priced at ₹26,999. Finally there is a variant with 12GB of RAM and 1TB of internal storage priced at ₹29,999.

7) How is the design of Realme Narzo 60 Pro ?

Ans) Realme Narzo 60 Pro’s design is identical to what we have seen on the Realme 11 series. Especially on the back, with a round camera module and a vegan leather back. There are certain differences though, which can be noticed. Like the Narzo misses out on the stitching on the leather back, like we see on the 11 series. Another is of course Narzo is a tad bit heavier.

I wish Realme didn’t add the Narzo branding on the back, since for me it breaks the beauty of the device. The martian color with me looks very elegant and is a darker orange color that will grow on you. There are other color options like sunrise which is white and cosmic night, which is black. If you want to play it safe you can go with the latter.

Moving on, the back also adds to the grip, since it is textured. Providing a premium in-hand feel, the smartphone has a character to it, which is favorable. The curved edges look elegant and the golden trim adds to the experience as well.

Located on the right side of the device are the power button and the volume rockers, providing a tactile experience with a satisfying clicky feedback. Although the Narzo 60 Pro exhibits a sturdy build, it lacks an official IP rating, which would have added to its reliability credentials.

While I acknowledge that this omission is typical in its price segment, having such certification would have served as a valuable assurance.

Moving to the bottom of the device, you will find the SIM tray, the USB Type-C charging port, and the speaker grill. The 10 Pro+ 5G supports two micro SIMs through this port. We don’t have a 3.5mm headphone jack here, which shouldn’t be surprising.

However, there is a feature making a return in this segment which I would have liked to see here – IR blaster.

8) How is the display for Realme Narzo 60 Pro 5G ?

Ans) The Narzo 60 Pro boasts a 6.7-inch curved OLED display with a maximum refresh rate of 120Hz. Before delving into the display quality, I want to acknowledge Realme’s commitment to uniform bezels, which adds visual appeal to their devices.

The bezels on the Narzo 60 Pro maintain this consistency, contributing to an overall cohesive design.

Apart from that, the touch response on the display is robust, enhanced by the haptic feedback, resulting in an interactive experience. The screen offers a maximum refresh rate of 120Hz, with a standard option of 60Hz. Additionally, an auto-select feature adjusts the refresh rate based on the displayed content.

Throughout my testing, I preferred the maximum 120Hz refresh rate as it provided smoother and more consistent visuals. In contrast, the auto-select mode exhibited noticeable stutters when switching between different refresh rates for various applications.
Additionally, the device offers a standard always-on display, which can be customized.

9) How is the audio setup ofRealme Narzo 60 Pro?

Ans) The audio setup on the Narzo 60 Pro completes its package. With a dual-speaker setup and Dolby Atmos support, the device delivers impressive volume. The speakers also feature an ultra-volume mode, which, while not recommended for continuous usage, shouldn’t cause any issues with occasional bursts of loud sound.

10) How is the software of RealmeNarzo 60 Pro ?

Ans) The software experience on the Narzo 60 Pro blends elements of Realme UI 3.0 and Android 13, resulting in a nearly perfect amalgamation. The device comes preloaded with a range of applications, including familiar ones like Josh, and PhonePe.

Setting aside these preinstalled apps, Realme UI runs smoothly on the Narzo 60 Pro, offering enjoyable user interactions with its intriguing animation style for actions like uninstallation and switching between tabs. It’s worth noting that this review is based on a brand new unit, and performance may vary over time.

Realme provides ample customization options, taking advantage of Android 13 features and their own custom skin. In addition to the standard choices like Dark mode, users can delve into extensive customization.

11) How is the Performance of Realme Narzo 60 Pro ?

Ans) Realme Narzo 60 Pro is equipped with the Mediatek Dimensity 7050 5G SOC, which delivered satisfactory performance.
It provides enough power to ensure a wholesome experience.

The smartphone runs games smoothly on high graphics and max frame rate settings.
Switching to medium graphics resulted in a respectable performance consistently.
The 60 Pro performs well in heavy tasks, but it truly shines when handling everyday tasks such as emails, web scrolling, and social media. These activities also allowed me to appreciate the display further, as it provided a delightful scrolling experience.

12) How is the battery of Realme Narzo 60 Pro ?

Ans) The battery performance on the device met my expectations. On average, I achieved a screen-on-time (SoT) of up to 5 hours. The SoT dropped to 5 hours on weekends when I engaged in longer gaming sessions and watched content. However, on lighter usage days, the SoT could extend to 7 hours thanks to the 5000mAh battery.
The phone also supports 67W SUPERVOOC charging, which is enabled with the included adapter. The charging speeds are favorable, and with data turned on and apps running in the background, you can expect a 0-100% charge in approximately 50 minutes.

13) What is the final Verdict on Realme Narzo 60 Pro ?

Ans) Realme Narzo 60 Pro provides performance and aesthetics in a single package, something the buyers should resonate to.

14) What is the display size and quality of the Realme Narzo 60?

iPhone 15 Pro Max Likely to Start at $1,199 to $1,299, Says Analyst: iPhone 15 to Start at $799

HIGHLIGHTS

1. Apple is likely to launch the iPhone 15 series on September 12 in the US.
2. The 15 Pro models are said to get major upgrades this year over the non-Pro models.
3. The iPhone 15 Pro Max might see a $200 price bump over the iPhone 14 Pro Max.
4. iPhone 15 Pro series is rumoured to feature extremely thin bezels.
5. The new manufacturing process could lead to delay in the production of the upcoming Pro iPhone series.

Apple’s upcoming iPhone 15 Pro models will likely be more expensive than the current models, according to Tim Long, an analyst at British bank Barclays. Long said this information is based on conversations with supply chain companies in Asia.

In a research note this month, obtained by MacRumors, Long said he expects the iPhone 15 Pro to cost up to $100 more than the iPhone 14 Pro, and the iPhone 15 Pro Max to be $100 to $200 more expensive than the iPhone 14 Pro Max.

He believes pricing will remain similar for the standard iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus models.

Apple is expected to launch its next iPhone series in September. The company might launch four new iPhones later this year. Apple will continue to offer two Pro iPhones and two non-Pro models, according to rumours.

There are rumours that the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max will witness delays in availability. Apple has not confirmed any details at the moment. Meanwhile, the rumour mill continues to offer more details about the iPhone 15 series ahead of its launch.

The latest rumour is around the iPhone 15 price range. The latest report (via) by an analyst at Barclays reveals the starting price of all four iPhone models launching later this year. If the leaked pricing is true, the iPhone 15 Pro models will be more expensive than the outgoing models.

Based on Long’s estimates, pricing for the iPhone 15 lineup in the U.S. could be as follows:

* iPhone 15: $799 (unchanged)
* iPhone 15 Plus: $899 (unchanged)
* iPhone 15 Pro: Up to $1,099 (vs. $999 now)
* iPhone 15 Pro Max: Up to $1,299 (vs. $1,099 now)

Rumors suggest the iPhone 15 Pro Max will feature an upgraded Telephoto lens with periscope technology that enables up to 5-6x zoom without blur, compared to 3x on iPhone 14 Pro models.

This feature is not expected to be available on the smaller iPhone 15 Pro this year, which could contribute to the Pro Max seeing a bigger price increase. Long believes the periscope lens will add around $50 to the iPhone 15 Pro Max’s bill of materials.

Price estimates for future iPhones should always be treated with some skepticism, as they are merely educated guesses and are not always correct. For example, Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo predicted price increases for the iPhone 14 Pro models last year, but the devices ended up having the same prices as the previous generation.

Apple is expected to announce the iPhone 15 lineup in September, despite reports of a temporary display-related manufacturing issue for the Pro models.

Other rumored features for the Pro models include a USB-C port, titanium frame, customizable Action button, faster A17 Bionic chip, thinner bezels around the display, Wi-Fi 6E support, increased RAM, upgraded Ultra Wideband chip, and more, so all of the new features coupled with inflationary pressures could warrant price hikes.

It would be the first price increase for the high-end iPhone models since the iPhone X and iPhone XS Max, which started at $999 and $1,099, respectively.

All four iPhone models launching later this year will reportedly feature Dynamic Island support. Apple will bid goodbye to the notch and launch the upcoming 2023 iPhone models with a hole-punch and a pill-shaped cutout.

The iPhone 15 and 15 Pro will feature 6.1-inch OLED displays, whereas the 15 Plus and 15 Pro Max will have a 6.7-inch OLED display. Only the Pro models will offer support for up to a 120Hz refresh rate.

Under the hood, the Pro models will feature the A17 Bionic, whereas the non-Pro models might draw power from the A16 Bionic.
Apple is also said to bump up the RAM and launch the iPhones with up to 8GB of RAM. The devices are also likely to get slightly bigger batteries than the outgoing models.

The bigger changes will be in the camera departments. All four iPhone models will likely feature a 48MP primary camera. The iPhone 15 Pro models will get a bigger sensor, whereas the non-Pro models are likely to get a 48MP sensor that will capture more light than the one found in the 14 Pro models.

iPhone 15 Pro models

There will be a 12MP ultra-wide camera as well. The 15 Pro might continue to feature a 12MP telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom.

The 15 Pro Max, on the other hand, will feature a 12MP periscope camera with support for up to 6x optical zoom. As expected, the latest iPhones will run the latest iOS 17 update out of the box.

According to a new report by Bloomberg, Apple is allegedly planning to hike the price of its upcoming iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max models in a bid to increase revenue during a projected slump in smartphone sales.

The publication claims that Apple has a target to produce around 85 million iPhone 15 units this year, which isn’t far off the 90 million iPhone 14 units the company is said to have requested from its suppliers last year.

Essentially, Apple is hoping it can produce a similar number of devices but keep its revenue high (in spite of things like ongoing inflation and lower demand for consumer tech) by increasing the price of its more expensive iPhone models, according to “people familiar with the matter.”

Apple is likely facing a battle to hit its targets. The company is reportedly experiencing production issues with the display panels for the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max that could impact how many units will actually be available at launch.

iPhone 15 Pro models
iPhone 15 Pro

Apple also allegedly cut plans to increase iPhone 14 production by an additional 6 million units last year after the usual surge in holiday season demand failed to materialize.

According to an IDC report published back in May, global smartphone shipments are expected to decline by 3.2 percent in 2023, though the market is anticipated to start recovering sometime next year.

iPhone Pro and Pro Max models have launched with a starting price of $999 and $1,099, respectively, since the introduction of the iPhone 11 Pro back in 2019.

There’s no information regarding what this price may increase to, though 9to5Mac claims that the standard iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus pricing will remain consistent with previous generational releases ($799 and $899, respectively).

Of course, Apple still needs to sell the iPhones it’s producing to boost revenue, but the company seems confident that this won’t be an issue.

Apple CEO Tim Cook suggested during an earnings call in February that a price hike wouldn’t deter iPhone customers from purchasing the company’s flagship offerings, claiming, “I think people are willing to really stretch to get the best they can afford in that category.”

Faqs

1) What is iPhone 15 Series: Price (Leaked)?

Ans) Apple iPhone 15 series might launch later this year in September. Ahead of the launch, a new report has revealed the price of all four iPhones. According to Tim Long, a Barclays analyst, the iPhone 15 Pro Max will see a price bump of $200 over the existing 14 Pro Max. The analyst believes that Apple will launch its top-of-the-line iPhone at a starting price of $1299 (roughly Rs 1,06,500). The iPhone 14 Pro Max was launched in the US for $1099 (roughly Rs 90,100), whereas in India, it was available at launch for Rs 1,39,000.

The iPhone 15 Pro is also said to receive a price bump. According to Long, the smaller Pro model will be launched for $1099 (roughly Rs 90,100). Pricing of the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus will likely remain unchanged at $799 (roughly Rs 65,500) and $899 (roughly Rs 73,700), respectively.

The Pro models are likely to be far more expensive than the outgoing models, mainly due to the number of upgrades on offer. Apple is said to feature a titanium chassis in the Pro models, which will also reportedly get a new Action button with remapping features for various tasks. The 15 Pro Max is also said to feature a new periscope lens with support for up to 6x optical zoom. Therefore, it would not be a surprise if Apple increases the price of its iPhones later this year.

2) Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max may be costlier than iPhone 14 Pro Max, analyst says.Details?

Ans) Apple is said to unveil its next generation iPhone series in September this year. The iPhone 15 series is tipped to offer four phones- iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro and high-end iPhone 15 Pro Max. According to Tim Long, an analyst at British bank Barclays, it is likely that Apple’s upcoming iPhone 15 Pro models will be more expensive than the current ones. Long arrived at this conclusion after consulting with supply chain companies in Asia.

In a recent research note obtained by MacRumors, Long stated that he expects the Apple iPhone 15 Pro to be priced up to $100 higher than the iPhone 14 Pro, while the iPhone 15 Pro Max may cost $100 to $200 more than the iPhone 14 Pro Max. However, he believes that the standard iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus models will maintain similar pricing.

Previously, Xiaomi President Lui Weibing also revealed that the company has launched a new smart factory in Beijing, and the first device that will be manufactured at this unit will be the Xiaomi Mix Fold 3.

Lui Weibing also revealed that there are newer upgrades in terms of the manufacturing system which will ensure that the Xiaomi Mix Fold 3 is stronger and thinner.

The past leak also suggests that the Xiaomi Mix Fold 3 will flaunt a 50MP Sony IMX858 sensor and an in-display fingerprint sensor. The smartphone might be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC.

The other details of the handset such as RAM, storage configuration, and display size remain unknown. We can expect to learn more information about the device if it arrives on TENAA certification or benchmark listing in the coming few days.

The Xiaomi Mix Fold 3 will be arriving as a successor to the Xiaomi Mix Fold 2. To recall, the Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 features a 6.56-inch AMOLED display on the outer side.
The display panel has a 1080 x 2520 pixels resolution, a 21:9 ratio, 120Hz refresh rate, and Corning Gorilla Glass Victus protection.

The smartphone features an 8.02-inch display on the inner side which has a 1914 x 2160 pixels resolution, 360 PPI pixel density, and 1300 nits brightness. The device is powered by a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC.

The handset packs up to 12GB of RAM and 1TB of internal storage. It features a triple-camera setup which consists of a 50MP primary camera, 8MP telephoto lens, and a 13MP ultra-wide sensor.

The other key features that the Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 offer includes a 20MP selfie camera, a 4,500mAh battery, 67W fast charging, side-mounted fingerprint sensor and stereo speaker support.

Currently, only vivo and Huawei have foldables with four cameras on the back, and both have the same combination we expect to see from Xiaomi – wide, ultrawide and 2 telephoto cameras, one with a periscope lens behind. Details on the specs of Xiaomi’s implementation are yet to be released, though.

The Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 was the thinnest foldable at the time of its launch, while the Mix Fold was the first such device with 67W fast charging.

One thing Xiaomi is yet to do with the Fold series is to launch them internationally, and we hope the third time is the charm, even if earlier rumors suggested it won’t happen.

Nothing Phone 2, with its hyped arrival in the smartphone market, has turned out to be one of the most exciting smartphone launches of the year. Nothing as a brand has managed to achieve a novelty that sets it apart and yet comparisons are inevitable.

In this blog, we are taking a deeper look at Nothing Phone 2 and another recently launched smartphone iQOO Neo 7 Pro. We will be comparing the two smartphones in detail, delving into their specifications, features, performance and value.

If you are anywhere but in India, comparing Nothing Phone 2 with an iQOO phone might not seem reasonable as Nothing has built a novelty internationally that sets it apart from many mid-range smartphone brands.

However, the story is different in India. iQOO’s presence in the Indian market can’t be denied, especially when it has a product that is capable of catering to the same target audience that Phone 2 is eyeing.

Another big reason for comparing these two devices is that Neo 7 Pro is also a recently launched device with the same Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset.

The camera in the iQOO device is set to provide tough competition as well and thus, presents a good reason to conduct a thorough comparison between the two.

So, without further ado, let’s delve into a detailed Nothing Phone 2 vs iQOO Neo 7 Pro comparison to know which Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 phone you should buy.

Here’s a quick look at the positives of both devices.

Can iQOO Neo 7 Pro Challenge Nothing Phone 2?

Nothing Phone 2 Vs iQOO Neo 7 Pro – Design and Durability

When we compare Nothing Phone 2 with any other smartphone in the design department, it might come off as a one-sided fight. Whether you like the rear Glyph Interface on the Nothing Phone 2 or not is subjective.

However, one thing you’ll have to agree with is that it looks very distinctive from most other candy bar designs available in the market and works well in breaking the monotonous tone of smartphones.

Now, comparing the Phone 2 with iQOO Neo 7 Pro, which has the same smartphone design that we have seen in many previous iQOO phones, is straightforward.

To start with, the iQOO Neo 7 Pro has a plastic frame compared to the metal frame on the Nothing Phone 2 which gives it a far more premium feel.

Screenshot 2023-07-27 150817 Screenshot 2023-07-27 143536

Moreover, with a wider mid frame it’s easier to hold the Phone 2 and the slight little curve on the rear makes it sit very nicely in the hand.

On the other hand, we have the frosted glass variant of the iQOO Neo 7 Pro, which gets slightly slippery though the vegan leather variant should offer a better grip.

In terms of durability, Nothing reinforces the build quality by giving Gorilla Glass 5 protection on the back and the front as well.

Whereas we are not sure about any such feature on the Neo 7 Pro although you do get Schott Xensation Up protection on the front. Also, the Phone 2 also has an IP54 rating whereas the iQOO Neo 7 Pro has a slightly lower IP52 rating.

So, when you look at the overall build quality of both phones, Nothing Phone 2 definitely presents itself as the superior option between the two.

We Compared Nothing Phone 2 with an Unexpected Rival iQOO Neo 7 Pro

Nothing Phone 2 Vs iQOO Neo 7 Pro – Display

The Nothing Phone 2 features an impressive display, utilizing a 6.7-inch OLED panel with LTPO technology.

It offers a resolution of 1080x2412px and supports HDR10+ content, delivering vibrant visuals. The display also boasts a dynamic 120Hz refresh rate, ensuring smooth scrolling and animations.

In contrast, the iQOO Neo 7 Pro boasts a larger 6.78-inch display with a resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels and HDR10+ support.

However, it employs an AMOLED screen instead of LTPO, which can potentially impact battery life. On the bright side, it offers a faster 120Hz refresh rate, resulting in smoother animations and transitions.

WhatsApp-Image-2023-07-14-at-5.01.44-PM-1 3

LTPO technology has the advantage of conserving battery power compared to AMOLED displays, as AMOLED panels often require a higher refresh rate for optimal smoothness, leading to increased power consumption.

Both displays have their merits, and the choice ultimately boils down to personal preference. If power efficiency is a priority, the LTPO display of the Nothing Phone 2 may be preferable.

On the other hand, if vibrant colours and deep blacks are valued, the AMOLED display of the iQOO Neo 7 Pro could be a better fit.

Nothing Phone 2 Vs iQOO Neo 7 Pro – Unraveling the Differences

Nothing Phone 2 Vs iQOO Neo 7 Pro – Hardware and Performance

Both the Nothing Phone 2 and iQOO Neo 7 Pro are equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset, ensuring exceptional performance and efficiency. These processors deliver impressive speed and power, making them suitable for demanding tasks.

In benchmark tests, the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 achieves a commendable score of around 1.3 Mn+ in Antutu, indicating strong performance for a mid-range device.

Overall, the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 is a reliable choice for mid-range devices, offering a balance of performance and efficiency.

Whether you opt for the Nothing Phone 2 or the iQOO Neo 7 Pro, rest assured that their processors will handle most tasks with ease.

On the gaming front, the iQOO Neo 7 Pro goes a step further by incorporating an independent gaming chip with 120 fps game frame interpolation, specifically designed for passionate gamers.

If gaming is a key priority for you, the dual power chip of the iQOO Neo 7 Pro presents a compelling advantage.

Nothing Phone 2 Vs iQOO Neo 7 Pro – Which Offers More Value for Your Money?

Nothing Phone 2 Vs iQOO Neo 7 Pro – Camera Hardware

The Nothing Phone 2 impresses with its dual rear camera setup, which combines a 50 MP main camera and a 50 MP ultra-wide camera sensor.

Additionally, the selfie camera has been enhanced to capture shots at 32 MP, ensuring high-resolution selfies. The primary rear camera benefits from an 18-bit ISP (Image Signal Processor), allowing for detailed and vibrant picture-taking capabilities.

In contrast, the iQOO Neo 7 Pro boasts a triple rear camera arrangement, comprising a 50 MP primary sensor, an 8 MP ultra-wide sensor, and a 2 MP monochrome sensor. The device also features a 16 MP front camera.

The camera performance of the iQOO Neo 7 Pro is excellent, delivering stunning shots in both daylight and low-light conditions, thanks to the inclusion of Optical Image Stabilization (OIS).

Neo 7 Pro showcases a state-of-the-art camera system, leveraging multiple lenses and advanced computational photography techniques. Its low-light performance, optical zoom capabilities, and stunning depth-of-field effects push the boundaries of smartphone photography.

Phone 2, known for its exceptional camera quality, captures breathtaking shots with remarkable clarity and colour accuracy. Its image stabilization and intuitive camera app make it a reliable companion for every photography endeavour.

Overall, if your preference leans towards having a triple camera setup, the iQOO Neo 7 Pro emerges as a better option compared to the Nothing Phone 2.
