Could be a concept phone

Realme 10 series launch has been announced for November 9. The latest affordable smartphone lineup from the company will be introduced with multiple models including both 4G and 5G variants. Going by the recent leaks along with the details shared by Realme itself, the vanilla Realme 10 4G. Realme 10 5G, Realme 10 Pro, and the Realme 10 Pro+. It seems like Realme will be settings new standards with this upcoming budget series and for the first time will be launching a flagship-grade model in its popular mid-range smartphone lineup.

Now, a new model in this series has surfaced which seems to be a game changer. Called the Realme 10 Ultra, the new variant will be a lot more powerful than the remaining Realme 10 series phones and also other mid-range Android phones.  

Is Realme 10 Ultra The Most Powerful Realme 10 Series Phone?

The Realme 10 Ultra variant’s existence has been tipped by a new leaked poster floating on the web. The top-of-the-line Realme 10 series phone’s poster has surfaced on the Chinese microblogging website Weibo.

The Realme 10 Ultra poster has one crucial detail related to the hardware, i.e., the chipset. This Realme 10 series phone’s poster mentions the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset. We have seen Realme powering its premium range phones specifically the Realme GT series with top-of-the-line Qualcomm processors.

But this would be the first time Realme will integrate such a powerful chipset on an affordable model. In addition to the high-end Qualcomm chipset the leaked poster hints the Realme 10 Ultra will be employing a 200MP primary camera sensor. This is another advancement with the primary hardware that will be offered by the budget Realme phone.

The render images also show a curved-edged panel of the Realme 10 Ultra. The brand had earlier teased the Realme 10 4G with a curved display which suggests the top-of-the-line model will also be using the same panel design. Unfortunately, there is no word from the brand on this model’s launch and arrival details. It can’t be said if the brand will indeed launch this model or if this is just a concept designed by a fan. Whatever may be the case, we are expecting the details to be revealed in the coming days.

Samsung Easy Mode: What Is It And How To Enable It

Key Highlights

  • Samsung Galaxy phones come with the Easy Mode feature
  • The feature simplifies the user interface
  • Easy Mode is perfect for senior citizens or people with vision issues

Samsung smartphones use the One UI user interface from the company which is great to look at but not the most user-friendly interface. Samsung smartphones do, however, come with an Easy Mode that provides a simplified user experience. Here’s all you need to know about Easy Mode and how to enable it.

What Is Easy Mode?

Samsung Galaxy smartphones have an option called “Easy Mode” that simplifies the user interface. It removes the Samsung launcher and replaces it with a more user-friendly interface. Easy Mode is perfect for senior citizens or even those with vision issues because it boosts the system-wide font size. This is also a great tool for those who are new to using smartphones.

Easy Mode gives Samsung Galaxy users a simple method to streamline their smartphones and has long been a one-of-a-kind One UI feature. There is less mess and complexity when it is on.

Additionally, Easy Mode makes the contents on the screen larger and adds a high-contrast keyboard for easier reading. Using a longer touch-and-hold delay reduces accidental touches as well.

How To Turn On Samsung Easy Mode?

The Easy Mode can be turned on in the device Settings of the majority of modern Samsung phones. Listed are the steps that can help you turn on Easy Mode on your Samsung phone:

Step 1: To access the display settings menu, enter the Settings menu of your Samsung phone and touch Display.

Step 2: Then, select Easy mode by scrolling down. To activate Easy mode, tap the toggle next to it. The high contrast keyboard theme and the touch and hold delay duration can both be changed in the Easy mode.

Step 3: You will now notice that your home screen has been simplified when you access it. You’ll only find a small number of apps listed. By holding down on an app in the main app list and dragging it to the home screen, you can add more apps to the home screen.

Step 4: To add a single contact for quick access, simply swipe from the left until you locate the page. And you are all done.

Xiaomi 13 Pro Specifications Leaked, Likely To Pack Snapdragon 8 Gen 2

Key Highlights

  • Xiaomi plans to unveil the Xiaomi 13 Pro soon
  • The upcoming phone will feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC
  • It will be housed a 4,800mAh battery

Prior to any official announcement, a new leak has disclosed some crucial details about the upcoming Xiaomi 13 Pro. Let’s take a look at what to expect from the next flagship which is already expected to have top-notch specs and features.

Yogesh Brar, a well-known tipster, leaked the specifications. The premium flagship handset would have a 6.7-inch Samsung E6 AMOLED panel with LTPO technology and 2K resolution, according to his tweet. In other words, a high refresh rate of at least 120Hz is expected. The phone will have 8GB or 12GB of RAM and internal storage of 128GB, 256GB, or 512GB. It’s believed to be powered by Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor.

The Xiaomi 13 Pro is anticipated to have three cameras: a 50MP Sony IMX989 primary sensor with a 1-inch size, a 50MP ultra-wide-angle lens, and another 50MP telephoto camera. The front will hold a 32MP selfie camera in the meanwhile.

Notably, Leica optimizations will be present in the back cameras which was expected considering the two company’s collaboration. If this rumor is true, Xiaomi will be employing a sensor that cost $15 million because Sony and Xiaomi jointly developed the sensor for the Xiaomi 12S Ultra.

According to the leak, the handset would come equipped with MIUI 14, a custom skin based on Android 13. Rumor has it that the Xiaomi 13 Pro which supports 120W fast charging will come with a huge 4,800mAh battery. In addition, it has the potential to support reverse charging and wireless fast charging.

 Xiaomi 13 Pro Leaked Specifications:

Turn On Emergency SOS Feature On Android Phone: Here’s How

Key Highlights

  • Setting up Emergency SOS can be a lifesaver
  • You can add an emergency contact or personal contact number
  • To activate the Emergency SOS feature, press the power button five times

Regardless of its brand or model, your phone is likely to have an emergency SOS option built in. Although you hope you never need it, you should be aware of it just in case.

It only takes a few minutes to set up emergency SOS features but they could save your life. Quickly press the power button five times to dial your emergency contact number after enabling Emergency SOS. This can be changed to a personal contact or set to your local emergency number. The emergency number is 112 in India. It’s one of the most crucial things you can do when configuring a new Android phone.

Having a personal emergency number is beneficial since it alerts your known contacts and enables them to take immediate action. This article will show you how to easily set up the Emergency SOS feature and add emergency contacts to your Android phone. Let’s check it out:

How To Set Up Emergency SOS On Your Android Phone?

Step 1: On your Android phone, go to Settings and select “Safety & emergencies.”

Step 2: Now, turn on “Emergency SOS.”

Step 3: After that, toggle on “Emergency SOS.”

Each phone has a different way of doing this. Both Pixel and stock Android phones will have the aforementioned options. Simply type “SOS” or “Emergency” into the search field to access the feature if you can’t find these alternatives.

Step 4: Once you do this, return to the “Safety & emergency” screen and click on “Emergency contacts.”

Step 5: Tap “Add Contact” and select an emergency number that you wish to add.

As said above, the procedure may be slightly different for you depending on the device you are using. But with Android-based devices, it’s largely the same. The Emergency SOS feature will be active and properly configured once you complete all the stages.
