iQOO is one of those Chinese smartphone OEMs that is rapidly expanding its smartphone product portfolio in India and across the globe with new devices. The brand just got done with the Neo 6 5G’s India launch. Meanwhile, a mystery iQOO-labelled Android phone has appeared on two popular Chinese mobile regulatory platforms including TENAA and 3C. The upcoming mystery handset by iQOO bears the V2197A model number on both certification websites. Thanks to the listing, the specification details of the unidentified iQOO handset have been revealed. What else the leaks have revealed? Read on for the details:

New iQOO Phone Gets Certified Via 3C, TENAA: Design, Specifications Revealed

As mentioned above, a mystery iQOO handset with the V2197A model number has received certification via both 3C and TENAA in China. While the exact moniker of the upcoming iQOO series phone is not mentioned on either of the certification website, the design language, as well as the key features, have been listed.

The leaked images of the unknown iQOO phone on TENAA show a basic front panel with a waterdrop notch display. The bezel profile is hardly visible, but it seems to be narrow on the sides and thicker on the chin. This upcoming iQOO smartphone will come with 164 x 75.84 x 8.25mm dimensions and will weigh 193 grams (approx.) as per the certification website.

If we speak of the leaked spec sheet, the latest iQOO phone is listed with an LCD display with a 6.51-inch screen size. The display will feature standard 720p HD+ resolution and 20:9 aspect ratio. We already have mentioned the use of the teardrop notch instead of a modern punch-hole camera cutout.

The TENAA listing doesn’t reveal the exact chipset name as well that will be driving this rumored iQOO handset. It also reveals an octa-core processor with a clock speed of 2.2GHz. While it is not yet confirmed if it will be a MediaTek or Qualcomm chipset powering this handset, the possibilities of former are likely as per the leaks.

The TENAA website listing further mentioned triple RAM and dual storage options. This upcoming iQOO phone will be packed with 4GB/6GB/8GB RAM, while the storage options tipped are 128GB/256GB. We might also see expandable microSD card support.

iQOO will be using a dual-lens camera module on its next Android mobile phone. According to TENAA, the setup used will be a 13MP main lens aided by a 2MP secondary sensor (possibly depth lens). The selfie snapper will also be basic, i.e, 8MP.

Coming to the 3C certification listing of the mystery iQOO phone, an 18W fast charging support is tipped. The battery capacity will be 4,910 mAh (rated) as per TENAA. Rumors are rife that this iQOO phone will be launched under the iQOO “U” series. But no concrete source has backed this information yet.

The leaks further hint at a June 18 launch date for the mystery iQOO handset. We are still waiting for some authentic details on the same. Nevertheless, looking at the leaked spec-sheet, this upcoming iQOO phone is expected to be a mid-ranger with an affordable price tag. It would be interesting to see how soon it enters the Indian market.

A new OPPO A series phone is launching sometime soon backed with 5G network connectivity. The OPPO A77 5G is the rumored model which has been making splashes via leaks and rumors for a while now. The upcoming A series phone will be launching as yet another 5G Android phone for the budget audience in the market. The OPPO A77 5G has been spotted on several mobile authentication platforms in recent times. However, it now has been listed on the mobile benchmark website, Geekbench. The benchmark listing confirms the OPPO A77 5G has entered its final testing phase and could break covers soon. What else the website listing has revealed? Read on to know:

OPPO A77 5G Geekbench Listing Goes Live

The OPPO A77 5G has stopped by the Geekbench database with the CPH2339 model number. The device has made sightings at other noted mobile authentication platforms including NBTC in Thailand and FCC in the US bearing the same model number. Thanks to the Geekbench listing, we have got a fair insight into the chipset, configuration, and benchmark scores of the OPPO A77 5G.

As per the Geekbench database, the OPPO A77 5G will be integrated with an octa-core MediaTek chipset. The processor name listed is MT6833V/PNZA which is none other than the Dimensity 810 chipset. This is a mid-range 5G processor by MediaTek which has Adreno 610 GPU support for graphics and a clock speed of 2.4GHz.

Apart from the chipset, the Geekbench listing has also confirmed a 6GB RAM option. Notably, there is currently no authentic detail available if the A77 5G will be available with a single RAM option or if there will be any higher variant as well. The benchmark website has also not detailed the storage capacity. However, we can’t rule out the possibility of the 6GB RAM variant shipping with at least 128GB of native storage space. Of course, the handset will have an external microSD card support as well. But the exact expandable capacity would be difficult to guess just yet.

Moving on, the Geekbench database further hints the OPPO A77 5G will boot on Android 12 OS. There will be a custom skin as well (ColorOS). Lastly, the A77 5G benchmark scores are also out. The upcoming OPPO budget 5G phone has scored 591 and 1771 points in the single-core and multi-core benchmark tests respectively on Geekbench.  

Oppo A77 5G: Any Expected Launch Timeline For India And Global Markets?

The OPPO A77 5G is visiting the leaks factory for quite some time now. However, OPPO has not made any announcements confirming its next budget 5G phones launch. However, the device is currently in the final testing phase and the brand could reveal the details soon.

Realme will soon launch a new budget smartphone in India. This time, the Chinese smartphone brand is expected to launch another “C” series phone in the country. The next offering from Realme’s affordable product portfolio is the Realme C30. The specifications including the display, configuration, and fast charging capabilities have been tipped.

Realme C30 Specifications Revealed

The Realme C30’s latest leak comes from two noted tipsters including Mukul Sharma and Paras Guglani. According to Sharma, the Realme C30 will be launched in India with a 6.58-inch display panel. The tipster has not revealed the display type or the resolution it will support. However, tipster Paras has separately revealed the Realme C30 will flaunt an FHD+ screen resolution. The refresh rate is not confirmed just yet. Therefore, it remains to be seen if the panel will support a 90Hz or a standard 60Hz refresh rate.

The Realme C30 will be using a Unisoc series processor. But the exact chipset name is not known. It will likely be an octa-core processor combined with a 2GB/ 3GB RAM configuration. The storage capacity tipped is single, i.e, 32GB. We can expect expandable storage support as well (via microSD card).

Going by the fresh leaks, the Realme C30 will flaunt a dual lens camera module at the back. The imaging setup used by the C30 will include a 13MP main lens. It seems Realme is sticking to a single lens camera module on this budget C series phone as well. The device will be packed with a single selfie snapper (5MP). It will likely be packed inside a waterdrop notch instead of a punch-hole camera cutout.

The Realme C30 might be announced with Android 12 OS topped with the Realme UI interface. However, this information hasn’t been leaked and is expected based on the recent Realme launches. Other key features leaked include a 5,000 mAH battery unit. It will be packed with a standard 10W charging support as per the leak. The leaked specifications hint the Realme C30 will be a watered-down version of the Realme C31 which has already gone official in the country.

Realme C30 Expected Lunch Date, Price In India

The Realme C30 is rumored to launch sometime in June 2022 in India. The company is expected to make announcements on the same soon. The pricing details are also not concrete. However, the rumor mill suggests the Realme C30 might debut under Rs. 7,000 in India.

Key Highlights

• Google Pixel delayed to 2023.
• It will reportedly cost lesser than Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3.
• The phone is said to have refresh rate up to 120Hz.

Google has reportedly postponed the debut of its first foldable smartphone, the Pixel Notepad, until 2023. According to a report by SamMobile, the Google Pixel Notepad Foldable phone will now be released in the spring of next year. The device has been postponed for the second time. It was originally scheduled to debut in 2021 but was pushed back to a late 2022 launch.

Google Pixel Foldable Phone Specifications

There have been many speculations around Google’s Pixel Fold. This is expected to be Google’s first ever foldable phone offering in its international markets. The Pixel Fold is expected to carry the same size as the Galaxy Z Fold 3. It is speculated to have LTPO and variable refresh rate up to 120Hz. The company recently announced a version of Android 12 – Android 12L – optimised for foldables, tablets and Chrome OS devices.

According to reports, the Google Pixel phone with a folding scenario is expected to get a 7.6-inch display, similar to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold. While no news on what type of folding technology the foldable Pixel will use has been confirmed, rumors say it can be folded vertically. The report also suggests that the phone will feature Samsung OLED panels.

If earlier reports are to be believed, the foldable Pixel will be unveiled by the end of the year. It will get released most likely during this year’s ‘Made by Google’ event with the next-generation Pixel 5a or Pixel 6.

However, other information about the foldable Pixel phone is yet unknown. According to previous leaks, the device’s codename is ‘Passport.’ Given Google’s recent preference for mid-range smartphones, there’s a chance the foldable Pixel phone will feature mid-range specs but a hefty price tag, considering the pricing scheme of foldable devices we’ve seen recently.

Google Pixel Foldable Phone Price

The biggest competitor of the upcoming Google Pixel Fold is the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 which costs $1,799. The Pixel Fold can often be found for less, especially with trade-in. Although multiple reports have claimed that Google is aiming for a cheaper price, somewhere around $1,400. However, we have no official reports regarding its price segment.

Apple will be bringing the iPhone 14 series this year. The lineup is expected to come with four different variants, i.e., the iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Max, iPhone 14 Pro, and the iPhone 14 Pro Max. The series has been a part of rumor mill since a while. Now, a new leak suggests that the iPhone 14’s front camera will get a significant improvement.

As per a report by ET News, Apple might ditch its Chinese supplier for front cameras and could switch to a South Korean supplier. The tech giant has classified the iPhone 14‘s front camera as high-end. Reportedly, the company is using the products of LG Innotek to cater to the advanced needs of the new iPhone. This will be the first time a South Korean company has produced Apple’s selfie cameras.

Apple originally planned to make this shift with the iPhone 15 series. However, the company has decided to prepone this process by making them one of the key suppliers for iPhone 14 series. AutoFocus will be available on the front camera now that the new selfie camera maker is on board.

Since Apple became a Korean manufacturer, the upgrade is said to cost three times the original amount. Currently, there’s no clarity on what the price of the iPhone 14 will be or how much costlier it will be when compared to the iPhone 13.

iPhone 14 Specifications (Expected)

In the iPhone 14 series, the iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max are said to come with a punch-hole display instead of a notch. Both the devices will come with Apple’s next A16 Bionic chip. On the other hand, the vanilla iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max are expected to come with an improved version of Apple A15 Bionic chipset.

iPhone 14 Series Launch Date

Apple hasn’t revealed details about the launch of the iPhone 14 series. However, recent reports suggest it could be launched in the second week of September. The Cupertino-based tech company is presently preparing for WWDC 2022, its annual developer’s conference, which will take place next month. We expect Apple to introduce its new product lineup during this event. We will keep you posted with the details. So, stay tuned with us.

Samsung has been strengthening its portfolio in the affordable 5G smartphone market. The South Korean tech giant’s Galaxy A and the Galaxy M series are currently feeding the market requirements of pocket-friendly 5G Android phones. One of the upcoming offerings which Samsung is working on is the Galaxy M13 5G. The next Galaxy M series phone will be announced sometime soon as hinted by several mobile certification websites. The device is also going official in India as it recently got certified via BIS (Bureau Of Indian Standards). Now, a new leak has surfaced that reveals the entire Galaxy A13 5G’s design language and the expected color options.

Samsung Galaxy M13 5G Renders Show Full Design

Tipster Evan Blass has leaked the Samsung Galaxy M13 5G’s renders in full glory. Going by the leaked images, the Galaxy M13 5G will feature a traditional waterdrop notch display design instead of a modern punch-hole camera cutout. The front panel can be seen with a thin side and top bezel, while the chin bezel is slightly thick compared to the rest of the corners.

The front panel’s design is standard. We have seen several Samsung Galaxy A and Galaxy M series phones with this design language. In fact, the placement of keys and ports are not much different. The Galaxy M13 5G’s right panel is packed with the volume and the power keys. The render images also confirm a side-mounted fingerprint scanner that is embedded within the power key.

Moving on to the Galaxy M13 5G’s back panel, the handset is seen with a single-tone finish. A vertical camera module is positioned in the top-left corner. The Galaxy M13 5G budget Android phone will be announced in three color options. The color variants shown in the render images are peach, white, and dark screen.

Samsung Galaxy M13 5G Rumored Specifications

The Samsung Galaxy M13 5G leaks have tipped an IPS LCD screen that will measure 6.5-inches. The display will support a standard 720p HD+ screen resolution. The refresh rate is not specified by the leaks. Therefore, it would be hard to guess if the panel will support a standard 60Hz or a high 90/120Hz refresh rate.

The chipset driving the Galaxy A13 5G is also not known at the moment. We are waiting for the leaks to confirm if it’d be a MediaTek or Qualcomm processor. The triple rear camera module at the back is rumored to feature a 50MP main sensor combined with a 2MP depth lens. The battery capacity is also not known but we might get to see 15W fast charging.

OPPO just got done with the Reno8 series launch in China. The company introduced the vanilla Reno8 alongside the Reno8 Pro and the Reno8 Pro+. Now, the Chinese tech giant is gearing up to bring this premium mid-tier Android smartphone lineup to the Indian shores as well. The India launch is expected sometime in July this year. Ahead of the Reno8 series India launch, some new information has surfaced revealing some crucial details on the upcoming models in the country. The latest leak has given insight into the Reno8 Pro configuration and color options. Which rebranded version will the Reno8 Pro be in India? Let’s find out:

OPPO Reno8 Pro Variants, Color Options For India

A new report via PassionateGeekz reveals the Reno8 Pro will be launched with two different RAM and storage options in the Indian market. The base model of the upcoming Reno series phone will feature 8GB RAM and 256GB storage configuration. The Reno8 Pro will also be available with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage option.

The color variants tipped by the report are Glazed Black, Glazed Green, and Glazed White shades. Unfortunately, the report doesn’t reveal the Reno8 Pro’s India price details. However, we are expecting a sub Rs. 40,000 starting price tag for the Reno8 Pro in the Indian market. We will update the exact pricing details once available.

Is OPPO Reno8 Pro Any Rebadged OPPO Phone?

The OPPO Reno8 Pro is said to launch with the Snapdragon 8100 Max processor. Notably, the publication’s sources suggest OPPO will be skipping the Reno8 Pro+ launch in India and will rather bring two models including the Reno8 Pro and the vanilla Reno8.

The Reno8 Pro+ will be launched as the Reno8 Pro in India, while the Reno8 Pro (Chinese variant) will be debuting as the Reno8 model in the country. This means the Reno8 Pro in India will be equipped with the Dimensity 8100 processor. On the other hand, the vanilla Reno8 will be arriving as the first Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 processor phone in the country.

Furthermore, the report hints that the Reno8 Lite might also not be introduced in India. Only two aforementioned models will be launched in the country.

Nothing’s first smartphone, the Nothing Phone (1) launch is expected soon. After months of teasing, the company finally confirmed that the device would soon hit the shelves sometime this summer. In an interview with Wallpaper.com, Nothing’s founder Carl Pei and head of design Tom Howard also talked about phone’s design and what to expect.

Nothing Phone (1) To Have A Transparent Body

The Nothing phone (1) is expected to have a transparent back. The company wants to give the phone a distinctive look by highlighting all its critical components including camera and wireless charging coil in a transparent case. Speaking on the challenges, Tom Howard stated that they wanted to design a phone with visible internals at the back. This reasonably created some hurdles as there are over 400 components in a smartphone.

As per the report, Carl Pei stated that they wanted to achieve something different. He also stated that Nothing would like to follow a consistent design language just like Apple. Hence, we could be seeing an interesting look once the phone launches later this year.

Nothing Phone (1) Launch Date

A separate report by AllRound-PC suggests that the Nothing phone (1) will be officially launched on July 21. The report mentions the information has been sourced from an anonymous dealer. Therefore, possibility of it being inaccurate could be high.

Nothing Phone (1) Price

As per the report, the Nothing Phone (1) could launch at around 500 euros (roughly Rs. 41,519). We’ve also learned that Nothing has brought on some carrier partners on board (for the US market). In India, the company has partnered with the e-commerce giant Flipkart. The Nothing phone (1) will be available for sale via this online retailer exclusively in the country.

Nothing Phone (1) Specifications (Expected)

According to the leaked details, the Nothing Phone (1) will be powered by a Snapdragon 778G processor. It will feature a 6.43-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with HDR10+ certification. The screen will have a 90Hz of refresh rate. For power, the device will pack a 4,500mAh battery. As for optics, it might feature a 50MP main camera, an 8MP ultrawide sensor and a 2MP macro lens. Upfront, the phone is expected to bring a 32MP selfie shooter.

Earlier this year, a small glimpse of NothingOS was revealed on March 23. Since then, Nothing has made the Nothing Launcher available on the Play Store for most Android devices for those who want to try it out.
