Thanks to this listing, the Realme GT 2 Pro’s complete spec-sheet is now known.

Realme GT 2 Pro: Here Are The Full Specifications

The Realme GT 2 Pro has made its sighting at the Chinese mobile regulatory TENAA with the RMX3300 model number. It isn’t the first time this handset has been spotted over the web bearing the same model number. It has cleared a bunch of certifications online previously.

According to the fresh TENAA listing, the Realme GT 2 Pro will be employing a tall 6.7-inch display upfront. It will be an AMOLED panel that will offer a higher QHD+ screen resolution of 1440 x 3216 pixels and a 120Hz refresh rate. Since this is an AMOLED panel, it will be integrating an in-display scanner for security. There will be a tiny punch-hole cutout for the selfie camera.

According to the TENAA listing, the Realme GT 2 Pro will feature a 32MP camera to click selfies and to make/receive video calls. The photography setup at the back is said to offer a 50MP main camera with OIS. The primary sensor will be accompanied by another 50MP snapper (likely wide angle) and a 2MP sensor.

Vivo V23 5G India Launch On Cards; Gets BIS, SIRIM Certifications

Vivo is getting prepped up to revamp its “V” series. Two new models are said to be in the pipeline for an upcoming launch. The Vivo V23 and the Vivo V23 Pro will be joining the Vivo V23e sometime soon. The latter was recently stopped by Google Play Console and is rumored to be a tweaked version of the Vivo S12 Pro. The latter has also got certified via multiple portals indicating an imminent launch in India and other regions.

Vivo V23 Clears BIS, SIRIM Certifications Ahead Of Upcoming Launch

The rumored Vivo V23 5G bearing V2130 model number has cleared its certification via BIS (Bureau Of Indian Standards). This certification hints at an upcoming India launch. That’s not it, the device has also bagged its certification via SIRIM (Standard and Industrial Research Institute of Malaysia). As the name suggests, the device is headed to the Malaysian market as well.

Not much has been revealed via both the certification platforms related to the Vivo V23 5G’s hardware. The rumor mill has also not shared much insight on the same. However, some reports state that it will be packed with upgraded internals (camera and chipset) compared to the V23e 5G. This is just speculation and no authentic source has confirmed this piece of information.

Nevertheless, we do expect some major upgrades from its predecessor, i.e, the Vivo V21 5G. We are also waiting to be sure if the company will be using a MediaTek Dimensity series chipset similar to the Pro model or will pack a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor instead.

While the vanilla Vivo V23’s features are a mystery, a recent Google Play Console listing tipped some of the V23 Pro’s key features. The Pro model will be using the Dimensity 1200 chipset to perform all the tasks including gaming. This handset is rumored to ship with up to 12GB RAM and 256GB storage capacity.

The handset’s leaked renders showed a punch-hole display with a slim bezel profile. On the other hand, the Play Console listing also hinted at an FHD+ display with 1080 x 2376 pixels screen resolution and 440 nits peak brightness levels.

Infinix Zero 5G Google Play Console Listing Leaked; To Feature Dimensity 900 SoC, FHD+ Display

Infinix is done with Note 11 series launch in the global market including India. The brand’s next focus is its first 5G-ready smartphone called the Zero 5G. This upcoming smartphone has made its appearance a couple of times online. The latest comes from Google Play Console where the Zero 5G’s front renders and key features have been listed.

Inifinix Zero 5G Design And Features Out

Tipster Mukul Sharma shared a tweet of the Infinix Zero 5G’s Google Play Console listing. The handset carries the X6815 model number as per the Play Console website and is powered by the MediaTek MT6877V/ZA chipset.

Just for reference, this processor is also known as the Dimensity 900 processor. The octa-core chipset is clubbed with Mali-G68 GPU. The Play Console database lists an 8GB RAM option. We are currently not sure if the brand will bring any other RAM variants. While there is no mention of the storage space, we guess the presence of a 128GB option.

The Infinix Zero 5G will ship with the new Android 12 OS out-of-the-box. The Google Play Console listing has also confirmed an FHD+ display that will support 1080 x 2460 pixels screen resolution. The display panel type is not listed, but we speculate an LCD screen.

The image shared on the Play Console website reveals a punch-hole cutout and a tall form factor with slim borders. Infinix might use a higher refresh rate for its upcoming 5G smartphone. That’s considering it will be a premium mid-range offering.

But whether the refresh rate would be 90Hz or 120Hz is yet to be confirmed. The listing additionally mentions 480 PPI pixel density. The render images also suggest a side-mounted fingerprint scanner. This backs our speculation of an LCD display panel.

Unfortunately, the Google Play Console website has only detailed the Zero 5G’s above-listed specifications. Other features such as camera and battery specifications along with fast charging speeds are at large currently.

But this is the next big launch for Infinix and we are expecting the brand to get proactive with its marketing. It shouldn’t be long before the company starts releasing teasers for its first 5G smartphone. But how soon that would be is still uncertain. We’ll keep a check on the same and keep you posted with the details.

This variant will offer a centrally-aligned punch-hole camera cutout instead of the left-positioned setup on the Moto G Stylus 5G. The new-generation model has slim borders on all sides. But the chin is slightly thicker than the rest.

Also, it’s a flat-edged panel. On the right spine, it accommodates the volume rockers along with the power key that embeds a fingerprint scanner. Moving on the rear panel, the Moto G Stylus 2022 has a gradient skin and an oval-shaped camera module on the top-left corner.

The back panel has three sensors for imaging. The iconic Moto ‘M’ logo is also present at the back. The leaked 5K render images also confirm the positioning of the speaker grille along with the USB Type C port and a 3.5mm audio jack at the bottom.

This leaked 5K renders shows a shimmering silverish shade. The rumors have indicated at the Snapdragon 480 Plus processor is packed inside this handset.

This same chipset has been used by the company on the Moto G51 which is an affordable 5G handset. The rumors have also tipped a 6.81-inch display. The screen type is not confirmed yet, but since the render images show a side-mounted fingerprint scanner and not an in-display, we can rule out the possibility of an AMOLED or OLED panel.

Other known features are a 48MP triple rear camera setup and Android 12 OS. It could be powered by a 5,000 mAh battery but this is yet to be confirmed.

Vivo V23 Pro Google Play Console Listing Hints At A Tweaked S12 Pro

Vivo just teased its upcoming premium-range S12 series via its official Weibo handle. Meanwhile, another of its upcoming devices has made its sightings at Google Play Console. The alleged handset is the Vivo V23 Pro which is expected to soon debut in the Asian markets alongside the Vivo V23 5G. The former’s design as well as the key specifications have been updated on the Play Console website. It seems that the brand is making slight tweaks to the upcoming S12 Pro model and will introduce it as the V23 Pro in the remaining markets.

Vivo V23 Pro Key Details Revealed Via Google Play Console

A tipster going by Tamilian Technical username initially spotted the Vivo V23 Pro’s Google Play Console listing on Twitter. Interestingly, the front panel’s design shared on the website looks identical to the Vivo S12 Pro. The handset can be seen with a dual-selfie camera setup packed inside a wide notch.

The same design was earlier confirmed for the S12 series via an official promotional teaser. The image also shows the volume and the power keys on the right spine as we saw on the S12 Pro. We might see an in-display fingerprint scanner in this model as well considering the power key isn’t seen integrating the fingerprint scanner.

Now moving on to the leaked set of features, the Google Play Console listing mentions the MediaTek MT6893 processor. This octa-core chipset is none other than the Dimensity 1200 SoC which is a premium-range 5G chipset by MediaTek. This is the same processor which the rumor mill has suggested for the Vivo S12 Pro as well.

The Google Play Console website suggests an 8GB RAM configuration. It doesn’t reveal if there will be any additional RAM variants. But since this handset is said to be a tweaked version of the Vivo S12 Pro, we might get up to 12GB RAM configuration. The storage capacity isn’t listed in the Play Console database. However, we can’t rule out the possibility of a 128GB option combined with 8GB RAM.

The Vivo V23 Pro will boot on Android 12 OS according to the fresh listing online. This we can expect to be topped with a custom Origin OS interface. The display size isn’t revealed. However, the V23 Pro will come with an FHD+ display which will support 1080 x 2376 pixels screen resolution and 440 nits peak brightness levels.

As of now, only these are the details tipped by the Google Play Console database. Besides, the Vivo S23 Pro being a tweaked variant of the S12 Pro is a speculation based on the design and the leaked features. Until the brand gives an official nod on the same, this information should be taken as a grain of salt.
