* The Redmi Note 12R Pro will launch in China on April 29th, 2023.
* The device will feature a 48MP dual rear camera setup, and up to 12GB RAM.

Redmi has confirmed the arrival of yet-another Redmi Note 12-series smartphone, dubbed the Redmi Note 12R Pro, in China. The device will launch in China on April 29th, 2023, and the brand has already shared the first look and some key specifications ahead of launch.

Notably, the Redmi Note 12R Pro will offer up to 12GB RAM, up to 256GB storage, and an OLED panel. While the brand has not explicitly mentioned whether the device will support 5G or not, the promotional poster gives it away.

Redmi has confirmed the launch of a new Note series smartphone. The company has already launched multiple phones in the lineup. As part of the mid-cycle refresh, the company has confirmed the launch of the Note 12R Pro 5G in China.

Redmi Note 12R Pro

The upcoming Note series smartphone seems like a mid-range smartphone offering. Redmi already has four Pro phones in its current Note series. There is the standard Note 12 Pro 5G, Note 12 Pro 4G, Note 12 Pro Speed Edition, aka the POCO X5 Pro, and the Note 12 Pro+ 5G.

The upcoming Redmi Note 12R Pro 5G will sit somewhere between the former three devices mentioned above.

Let’s take a look.

New Redmi Note 12 series Phone

Redmi Note 12R Pro

* As seen in the promotional poster above, this is what the Redmi Note 12R Pro will look like.

* Let’s take a look at the text written on the promotional poster first up. The brand has confirmed that the Redmi Note 12R Pro will feature an OLED panel, which we assume might feature a 120Hz refresh rate, considering the fact that several other Redmi Note 12-series smartphones have had 120Hz refresh in the past.

* Moving on, the promotional poster confirms that the Redmi Note 12R Pro will arrive in a 12GB RAM and 256GB internal storage variant. We can, however, expect the device to launch in other memory options as well.

* Coming to the device images now, the poster confirms that the Redmi Note 12R Pro will arrive in Gold, White, and Black colour options. The power button and the volume up and down buttons will be on the right side of the device. The power button, in all likelihood, will double as a side-mounted fingerprint scanner as well.

* The camera module clearly has the term 5G engraved on it, so it is confirmed that the Redmi Note 12R Pro will be a 5G handset. The module also reveals that the Redmi Note 12R Pro will feature a 48MP primary rear camera. We can expect the secondary camera to be an 8MP ultra-wide angle unit, but this is not confirmed for now.

* The device, given the series terminology, is expected to be priced around CNY 1,500 (roughly Rs 18,000) in China.

Realme, earlier today, shared a bunch of promotional posters and a promotional video for the upcoming Realme 11 Pro+ 5G, which gives us a working clue as to what the device will look like.

Realme 11 Pro+ 5G

The Realme 11 series is set to debut on May 10 in China. The company has confirmed the launch but did not reveal the number of devices it will unveil at the May 10 event in China. We can expect multiple phones to be unveiled under the Realme 11 series.

Apple to drop support for these iPad models with launch of iPadOS 17, check full list of popular iPhone and iPad models

iPadOS 17

HIGHLIGHTS

* The first 9.7-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pro models might not be able to use the upcoming iPadOS 17.
* The first-generation iPad Pro models are equipped with the A9x chip and the fifth-generation iPad with the A9 chipset.
* These models might get security patches but not very frequently.
* Apple will host WWDC event from June 5 to June 9.
* Apple will likely unveil its latest iOS 17 software, and some other products at the event.
* Apple is also expected to launch iOS 17 and iPadOS 17 for its iPhone and iPad models.

Apple is gearing up for its annual developer conference, WWDC 2023 June 10th. Rumour has it that they’ll be unveiling their much-anticipated AR/VR headset, the Apple Reality Pro. But that’s not all – Apple is expected to introduce realityOS software for the headset and the next-generation iPhone software version. The company is also set to reveal iOS 17 and iPadOS 17 for its iPhone and iPad models.

A report by iPhoneSoft suggests that three iPad models may lose support with the upcoming iPadOS 17. This is in line with previous rumours predicting the iPhone models expected to lose support with iOS 17. The report outlines the iPad models that will no longer support iPadOS 17 and claims that users should keep in mind that iPad models launched after 2017 are expected to be compatible with the new software.

 iPadOS 17

However, older models may not support the latest features and capabilities. It’s important to note that while a device may be listed as compatible with a new software update, it may not necessarily support all features offered by that software.

The report also suggests that all iPhone models capable of running iOS 16 will support iOS 17, although a previous report stated that three iPhone models will lose support with the new software update.

iPad models which will not support iPadOS 17

 iPadOS 17

As for the iPad model which will not support iPasOS 17, it is speculated that three iPad models – the iPad 5th gen, the 9.7-inch iPad Pro 1st gen, and the 12.9-inch iPad Pro 1st gen – will no longer support iOS 17 once the new software is released.

The list of iPad models likely to be compatible with iOS 17 includes the iPad Air 3rd gen and later, the iPad 6th gen and later, the iPad mini 5th gen and later, and any iPad Pro model released in 2017 or later.

As for the awaited launches coming at WWDC 2023, all the eyes are on the upcoming lineup for Macbook and AR or Vr headsets. A report by 9To5Mac suggests that Apple is planning to launch two models of the next-generation MacBook Air – a 13-inch and a 15-inch variant – powered by Apple’s new M3 chip. The same chip will also reportedly be used in the 13-inch MacBook Pro.

 iPadOS 17

While it was previously reported that the company planned to announce a 15-inch MacBook Air in April with an M2 series chip, the source now claims that Apple will use its latest M3 chip for its new laptops. If Apple does plan to unveil these 2023 MacBooks with the new chip, there is a chance that the launch will take place at Apple’s WWDC event.

Additionally, Apple has long been rumoured to launch its Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) headsets but has yet to announce them. It is speculated that Apple could finally unveil its AR and VR devices at this event, as suggested by the official teaser image showing headset lenses.

However, there is no confirmation of this and users are advised to take the details with a pinch of salt. There is a possibility that Apple could skip the launch of its headset for this event.

 iPadOS 17

Like iPhones, Apple has an operating system designed by Apple specifically for their iPad devices. The OS is optimised for the larger screen and also works well with the powerful hardware of the iPad. However, some of the older iPad might soon lose iPadOS support this year.

According to a report from iPhoneSoft, owners of the first 9.7-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pro models will not be able to use the upcoming iPadOS 17. This isn’t new considering that most brands drop software support for older-generation models.

The iPads that are likely to be compatible with iPadOS 17 include

 iPadOS 17

* iPad Air 3rd gen and later 
* iPad 6th gen and later
* iPad mini 5th gen and later
* iPad Pro model which was released in 2017 and post that.

The first-generation iPad Pro models are equipped with the A9x chip and the fifth-generation iPad with the A9 chipset. These will remain on iPadOS 16 operating system, according to the report. Apple might be planning on aligning iPadOS with iOS, which also dropped support for the A9 chip when it released iOS 16.

 iPadOS 17

Not just Apple, every tech brand, including Samsung, Google, and others drop support to older generation models keeping in mind the hardware that might not support/handle new features. Apple usually drops support for models when it is about to introduce new features, and leaves them with the previous generation release.

However, these models usually receive updates for security but not at frequent intervals. If reports are to be believed, iOS 17 is said to focus on stability rather than features but it can’t be said for certain. Apple might spring a surprise and introduce a host of new features at the WWDC 2023 conference.

iPads losing iPadOS 17 Compatibility

 iPadOS 17

Here are the three iPads that are rumored to be cut off by iPadOS 17:

* iPad 5th gen
* 9.7-inch iPad Pro 1st gen
* 12.9-inch iPad Pro 1st gen

iPads with iPadOS 17 Compatibility

 iPadOS 17

And here are the iPads that are said to keep support with iPadOS 17:

* iPad Air 3rd gen and later
* iPad 6th gen and later
* iPad mini 5th gen and later
* iPad Pro 2017 and later

Another thing to keep in mind, even though iPads from 2017 and on should be compatible with iPadOS 17, older devices generally don’t support all the latest features and capabilities that come with the newest software.

Meanwhile, for iPhone, there are conflicting reports. The first rumor we saw said three iPhones will lose support with iOS 17 while a second rumor said all iPhones that can run iOS 16 will be able to run iOS 17.

Realme C53

HIGHLIGHTS

* Realme is prepping to launch a new C-series smartphone for its users.
* The upcoming smartphone will likely pack a 5,000mAh battery with 33W SuperVOOC support for fast charging.
* Last month, the company launched the Realme C55 in India.
* Realme C53, as per FCC filing, will come pre-loaded with Android 13.
* The smartphone will support 4G connectivity.
* It has already been certified in Indonesia, Thailand, and Europe.

With an aim to expand its entry-level C-series smartphones, China-based Realme launched the Realme C55 in India last month. Now, it seems the company is working on launching a new C-series smartphone soon, the Realme C53.

Tipster has shared that the upcoming smartphone with the model number RMX3760 has passed Thailand’s NBTC approval.

Earlier, the model was spotted at several certification platforms, including the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Europe’s Energy efficiency certificates (EEC), and Indonesia’s Tingkat Komponen Dalam Negeri (TKDN).

Realme C53

Realme, last month, introduced a new smartphone to its entry-level C-series – the Realme C55. It appears that the company will soon be introducing yet another C-series smartphone – the Realme C53. A new report by Pricebaba reveals that the Realme C53 with the model number RMX3760 has cleared Thailand’s NBTC certification.

This isn’t the first time that the RMX3760 has been spotted on a certification website. However, this is the first time when a certification listing has confirmed that it will launch as the Realme C53. To those unaware, the Realme RMX3760 was spotted on the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) database last week.

Let us take a look at the known details about the Realme C53.

Realme C53 NBTC Certification

Realme C53

* The NBTC is an independent state agency. It issues licenses and establishes regulations for the use of radio frequencies and equipment in telecommunications and radio communications services.

* Following the NBTC’s standards and technical requirements ensures that users receive products and services that are of high quality, effective, timely, reliable, and fair.

Here are some of the information about the Upcoming Realme C53

Realme C53

* As per the listing, the Realme RMX3760 will debut as the Realme C53, and it will be a 4G smartphone.

* A few earlier speculations suggested that the Realme RMX3760 would be introduced as part of the Realme 11 series. However, that seems to be untrue.

* The FCC listing has previously confirmed the existence of a 5,000mAh battery pack inside the smartphone.

* The phone will have 33W SuperVOOC support for fast charging.

* Currently, no other details are available about the upcoming Realme C53.

Last month, the company launched the Realme C55 in India, which comes with iPhone 14 Pro-like ‘Mini Capsule,’ at a starting price of Rs 10,999. We expect that the Realme C53 might be priced similarly in India.

On the other hand, the company has confirmed that it will launch the Realme 11 series in China on May 10th. The series will include Realme 11, Realme 11 Pro, and Realme 11 Pro+. These smartphones are expected to be launched for Indian consumers soon after their China release.

Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra’s moon photos

HIGHLIGHTS

* The Galaxy S23 Ultra’s moon photo debate is back again.
* This time it’s on Twitter and in a rather funny way.
* A Community Note on Twitter has flagged the Galaxy S23 Ultra’s moon feature as “fake”.

It looks like the debate over Galaxy S23 Ultra’s moon photos isn’t over yet. Despite explaining how the Galaxy S23 Ultra is capable of capturing clear moon photos with 100x zoom, people don’t seem to be convinced. And this time it’s even worse as Twitter itself has flagged the Galaxy S23 Ultra’s moon photos as “fake”.

Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra’s moon photos

Samsung has been running an ad on Twitter about the Galaxy S23 Ultra’s moon capturing capabilities. The Twitter ad reads, “There is no dark side of the moon with the #GalaxyS23Ultra. Capture your night skies and share with us by replying to this thread with #SharetheEpic.”

Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra’s moon photos

Just below the ad, there’s a Twitter Community Note that says, Samsung phones digitally “fake” images taken of the Moon to make them appear sharper.” For those unaware, Community Notes are essentially fact checking information provided by contributors on Twitter.

Contributors have the liberty to add notes on any tweet and if the required number of contributors rate that note as helpful, then Twitter will publicly show it below the tweet.

Just like how contributors can add notes below tweets, anyone can report it, and the tweet author can also request for additional review. But considering how this particular note appears on an ad that Samsung paid for, it’s somewhat ironical. You may not see the ad right now but one David ImeI took a screenshot and shared it on Twitter.

Galaxy S23 Ultra Moon Photos

Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra’s moon photos

Coming back to whether the moon photos captured by the Galaxy S23 Ultra indeed are real or not – Samsung has already denied such allegations. Yes, there is some work done inside to produce those clear images but what Samsung says is that it doesn’t add any image overlay.

It’s a mix of multiple things working together by using advanced technologies to get the highest resolution image and it’s further enhanced by using Al to get the final result which is a clear image of the moon.

Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra’s moon photos

The Community Note on Twitter probably meant that but the explanation behind the moon photos can get more complex. Community Notes are currently available only in select countries including the US, UK, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand. So it’s very likely that you won’t see the note on Twitter.

Samsung details how its moon photos work with Scene Optimizer Feature

Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra’s moon photos

Samsung has now responded to these accusations by explaining how its moon photos work and why they aren’t completely fake. They use super resolution technologies and AI technology to produce high-quality moon images. The phone doesn’t apply any image overlaying to the photos; instead, the AI-based scene optimization technology recognizes the moon as the main object and takes multiple shots for multi-frame composition.

Samsung Scene Optimizer Feature

Samsung’s Scene Optimizer feature uses advanced AI to recognize objects and provide the best results to users. With the Galaxy S21 series, the camera now recognizes the moon as a specific object during photo-taking and enhances details using its detail enhancement engine.

The camera system utilizes deep learning-based AI technology and multi-frame processing to further enhance details when taking photos of the moon. Learn more about the steps, processes, and technologies involved in capturing high-quality images of the moon.

AI Deep Learning for Moon Object Recognition

Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra’s moon photos

Samsung has developed an AI engine capable of recognizing the moon in various shapes and details, from full to crescent. It uses a deep learning model to detect the presence and location of the moon in images taken from Earth.

The AI model continues to learn and can recognize the moon even in images that were not used in training. With a simple square box denoting the area occupied by the moon, this technology is set to revolutionize the way we view and study the moon.

The Brightness Control Process and Capturing the Most Stable Images Possible
Samsung has developed a process to capture the most stable and clear images of the moon. The device recognizes the moon and controls the display brightness to optimize clarity. Even in early evening, the device will darken the background to enhance the moon’s visibility.

The Zoom Lock feature reduces shaking effects without a tripod using OIS and VDIS technologies. It activates automatically when zooming in on the moon or maintaining focus for more than 1.5 seconds. The border and display change to yellow, locking the moon in place for truly epic shots.

Samsung’s AI Powered Detail Enhancement to Capture the Moon

Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra’s moon photos

Samsung’s Galaxy device allows users to capture a bright and clear image of the moon. Once the moon reaches an appropriate brightness level, the user can press the capture button. The camera then utilizes Scene Optimizer to determine whether to apply the detail enhancement engine through AI processing.

Multiple pictures are taken and synthesized into a single, bright image with reduced noise through Multi-frame Processing.

Finally, the deep-learning-based AI detail enhancement engine of Scene Optimizer is used to eliminate remaining noise and enhance image details even further.

Scene Optimizer availability

Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra’s moon photos

Samsung’s Scene Optimizer is exclusively available on the Galaxy S20 and above models, as well as all Galaxy Z Fold series.

Explaining about AI Technology to Produce High-Quality Images of the Moon, Samsung, said Samsung continues to improve Scene Optimizer to reduce any potential confusion that may occur between the act of taking a picture of the real moon and an image of the moon.

Faqs on Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra’s Moon

1) How do Samsung moon shots work?

Ans) Moon shots on Samsung phones use the periscope telephoto camera. But if we scientifically analyse this, there are two conflicting points of view. The moon is approximately 384,000km away.

The distance makes it difficult for even a 10X sensor to accurately capture all of the details. However, sensors are good at recognising bright objects. The moon is objectively the brightest object you see in the night sky.

The long-range periscope telephoto cameras capture really bright subjects easily. If you’re wondering why it’s easier to capture a moon at 50X or 100X than a swooping landscape at 30X, it’s because sensors can capture bright subjects better.

As a result, the images still retain organic detail despite the heavy crop-in. With smartphone cameras, half of the end result depends on image processing in these times.
Smartphone camera hardware is improving but is undeniably smaller than actual camera hardware. We’re only approaching the 1″ size for the main sensors. Most secondary sensors are still stuck at smaller than 1/2″ sizes.

Companies are currently prioritizing software X processing to maximize image quality as it is more challenging for them to frequently upgrade their hardware. Software is responsible for several image enhancements.

Software is responsible for artificial sharpening, noise reduction algorithms, choosing a target white and black point, setting the right ISO and shutter speed, reaching a balance with target exposure, and more.

Not to forget that software is entirely responsible for high dynamic range capture, where the software intelligently fuses multiple images taken at various exposure levels. It blends the images together into one evenly exposed shot with proper shadows (darker regions like trees or buildings) and highlights (bright skies and lights). Recently, Al recognition also started becoming rather popular.

2) Are the moon shots fake?

Ans) The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SOC’s ISP is a great example of Al recognition. Prior to this, Pixels could do it with their Custom ISPs.

Using Machine Learning algorithms, Al recognises everyday objects, hair, trees, skies, water bodies, etc. and fine-tunes these in the end result. As a result, the photos look much cleaner and more presentable. Some even have dedicated food modes.

Similar to the existing Al enhancements that are based on subject recognition, the moon is an easy subject to recognise for the built-in algorithms. It’s a combination of both Samsung’s software processing and the 8 Gen 2’s excellent new ISP. This is where the controversy about Samsung’s moon shots begins and ends. A new post on Reddit claims that Samsung’s moon shots are fake. There’s no clear-cut answer to this, but not all of the moon shots that come out of Samsung phones are fake.

There are two scenarios to consider. In the first, you point your phone at the sky, and it recognises the moon. Here, Samsung does not superimpose an artificial image of a pre-saved moon.

Once Al detects the tiny blob of light in the sky, it applies sharpness and locks the target exposure to the moon to make the shot look more presentable. It identifies the moon’s details, enhances them, and adds artificial texture to the real subject.

Vivo X90 Pro features the ZEISS 1-inch Main Camera along with Industry’s largest IMX989 sensor, which brings increased light sensitivity to capture high-detail and clear images in extreme low light.

The new sensor has a photosensitive area increased by 77% and light intake capacity by 43% which allows it to capture brighter and cleaner night images. It also features one of the Industry’s best 50MP Portrait Camera with a large IMX758 Sensor comprising a large aperture of f/1.6 with OIS.

With the support of the stabilization system, an exclusive large-aperture lens, and 4-in-1 sensor technology, X90 Pro can click artistic portraits with more subtle details and smoother transitions between subject and background, even in extreme low-light scenes.

X90 Pro introduces independent optical image stabilization (OIS) technology, developed by vivo, allowing for more intelligent and precise stabilization correction compared to standard OIS. It also supports Active Centering OIS System with CIPA Level 4 standard stabilization, significantly reducing smears between frames and motion blur.

vivo X90 features a 50MP VCS True Color main camera with IMX866 sensor, a 12MP Portrait camera, and a 12MP ultra-wide camera. The main camera brings spectrum computation technology introduced by vivo & Sony jointly that makes image data received by the sensor look similar to what the naked eye sees, thereby delivering more authentic colors.

Compared to the previous generation, it now has a 20% improvement in noise reduction and a 15% improvement in color reproduction to ensure color consistency.

Both smartphones also come with the new generation Pro Imaging Chip V2, which works in sync with the smartphone’s primary chipset. The advancements in the new generation enable users to capture videos in extreme low light conditions, offering excellent noise reduction for Night videos while consuming less power.

In addition, the V2 chip’s Game Frame Interpolation makes playing games at 90 frames per second run as smoothly as playing games at 120 frames per second.

For enthusiasts who love to capture the star-lit sky, X90 Pro now also brings the new Handheld Astro mode, eliminating the need for a tripod to capture the starry sky full of stars with the landscape.

Along with this, smartphones have the capabilities to capture motion pictures in both day and night conditions. The Pro Sports and Night sports mode has a Zero Shutter Lag Motion Snapshot feature that combines the high-speed shutter and motion detection algorithm, which can instantly freeze the frame, making subjects look clear without any blur in motion scenarios.

Under a strong light source in the background, it generates a nice-looking flare. Along with this, the smartphones also feature Cinematic, Biotar, Planar, Distagon, & Sonnar from the previous generation that are now available even in the front camera.

To enable consumers to capture the true-to-life details, the X90 series features the updated ZEISS Natural Color 2.0 which has improved color cast accuracy, and saturation adjustment, making the pictures look more real and natural.

ZEISS Natural Color 2.0 is assisted by AI Perception Engine 2.0 which automatically adjusts live exposure and white balance to capture images that are as close to what the human eye can see.

For extreme clarity and imaging experience, the number of lenses on the X90 Pro has been increased to 8 (7P + 1G) with ZEISS T* Coating on 7 lens pieces compared to 2 in the previous generation. ZEISS T* Coating in 7 lenses reduces light reflection between the lenses, thereby eliminating ghosting, & producing cleaner images with less glare.

In addition, the X90 series brings the all-new ZEISS Landscape and Architecture Mode. It comes with the Miniature Effect feature and Automatic Perspective Correction (APC) that gives a new creative approach to photography.

The Miniature Effect feature is realized in Tilt-shift and introduces algorithm blur during imaging to turn the real world into a miniature landscape.

9) What is the X90 Pro’s odd design choice on the back?

Ans) For a phone in 2023, the X90 Pro’s design appears relatively ordinary from the front. The rectangular display has curved edges and features a a punch-hole cutout in the center housing the selfie camera. But flip it over, and you’ll see a narrow bar running through the width of the chassis (below the camera module).

No, it’s not a camera bar as seen on Google’s Pixel 7 lineup, it’s simply a flat bar emblazoned with the words “Xtreme Imagination” running across the rear of the phone.
