Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ 5G gets listed on Google Play Console, key specs with renders leaked.

September 29, 2023

Samsung’s midrange Galaxy Tab A9 will launch on October 5 in India, and we already saw it listed on the Google Play Console last week. There was no mention of whether this would be a single device launch or a series launch. Samsung’s upcoming tablet device was revealed in a recent leak. A new listing details the Galaxy Tab A9+, which may launch simultaneously with the regular Tab A9.

According to the certification, the Galaxy Tab A9+ 5G is powered by Snapdragon 695 5G, which again confirms its mid-range status. Based on a 6nm manufacturing process, the chipset is equipped with two Cortex-A78 P-Cores (2.2GHz) and six Cortex-A55 E-Cores (1.8GHz).

It also features a landscape view display with Full-HD+ (1920*1200p) resolution and 240 DPI (density per inch). Additionally, the certification mentions that this model will have 4 GB of RAM and Android 13.

It can also be seen from the renders that the device would feature a single rear camera. In the middle-top bezel, there is a camera.

Earlier leaks have indicated that the Galaxy Tab A9 will be powered by Helio G99 chip and feature an HD+ display (1340*800p). Other aspects of both devices are unknown at this time.

Samsung will make the Galaxy Tab A9 series official on October 5, so all the mysteries will be solved.

Here is the first look at the upcoming flagship Xiaomi 14 Pro ahead of official launch.

September 28, 2023

Digital Chat Station shared a schematic of what appeared to be the Xiaomi 14 series back in July. A report by TechGoing showcases the design of the Xiaomi 14 Pro via case images. The latest leak for the 14 Pro reveals the following.

Xiaomi 14 Pro:

It appears that the Xiaomi 14 Pro is a refinement of the Xiaomi 13 Pro in terms of its design. The Xiaomi 14 Pro is rumored to feature a quad-curved display. The leaked case images do not appear to reveal the display design clearly.

In addition to an earpiece and speaker outlet on the top bezel, the 14 Pro’s top edge appears to have additional outlets for a speaker, an IR blaster, and a noise-canceling microphone. There is a speaker grille, a microphone, and a USB-C port on the opposite end of the device. It is likely that the SIM slot is at the bottom of the device, but it cannot be seen in the images.

There are no buttons on the left edge. The volume and power buttons are located on the right side. At the bottom of the right edge, there is a connector that resembles a pogo pin, but its purpose is unclear. According to some reports, the device will have a titanium alloy frame.

A design evolution from the Xiaomi 13 Pro is evident on the rear of the Xiaomi 14 Pro. It retains the square camera island with three cameras and an LED flash unit. In the case images, the top-right module, which appears to have internal sensors, might actually house the LED flash and bear the Leica branding. The Xiaomi 13 Pro, on the other hand, had the LED flash and the Leica logo in the bottom-right module.

Xiaomi upcoming budget phone Redmi 13C press renders leaked features 50MP triple cameras.

September 28, 2023

Earlier this month, Redmi made the Note 13 series available in China. Globally, the mid-range lineup should also launch this year or early next year. Redmi may also launch a budget smartphone before that happens Redmi 13C. As the successor to last year’s Redmi 12C, the handset is expected to feature an improved design and cameras.

Several high-resolution renders of the upcoming Redmi 13C have been shared by MySmartPrice. The rear view of the handset is somewhat similar to that of the Note 13 series. In a squircle-shaped module, it gets a triple camera setup. In the camera module, it is noted that the smartphone will have a 50MP primary camera. On the right edge of the device, we can see the power button and volume keys.

On the front, the U-shaped notch and thick bezels give away that this is a budget smartphone. However, the device features a 3.5mm headphone jack, a feature you don’t often see on smartphones nowadays. There is also a speaker grille, a charging port, and a microphone on the device. In addition to the color options – Light Green, Black, and Blue – the outlet shared renders of the Redmi 13C.

Currently, no one knows the handset’s specifications. We expect the successor to the Redmi 12C to be unveiled in a similar manner. In the coming days, more details about the handset should become available.

Alleged Realme GT5 Pro renders leaked online will arrive with dedicated telephoto lens.

September 28, 2023

A new flagship phone from Realme will have a telephoto camera sensor. It was speculated that the handset could be the Realme GT 5 Pro. Weibo has posted an alleged render of Realme GT 5 Pro’s rear design. Realme shared a teaser image showing the camera module design.

Realme GT 5 Pro is seen in Black, but other colors may be available at launch. On the right edge of the phone are the volume rocker and power button. There is a circular module on the back of the Realme GT 5 Pro that houses three camera sensors and an LED flash. Additionally, we see a periscope/telephoto sensor.

Renders do not show the front of the device, but there will be a selfie camera cut-out and narrow bezels. The Realme GT 5 Pro’s alleged render matches the brand’s teaser image from a few days ago.

Specs:

DCS reports that the Realme GT 5 Pro will feature an OLED panel with curved edges. The exact screen size is unknown, but it is expected to support a 2K resolution, ultra-high frequency dimming, and at least 120Hz refresh rate. For better durability, the device is expected to feature a metal middle frame. The device is also dust- and water-resistant.

Realme GT5 Pro will be equipped with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, 24 GB of RAM, and 1 TB of storage. It is expected to support 100W wired charging and 50W wireless charging.

There will be a 64MP OmniVision OV64B main camera with 3x optical zoom on the rear of the device. This device is said to be equipped with an ultra-wide lens and Sony IMX9-series primary camera. A new leak also claims that the GT 5 Pro has an X-axis linear motor and a massive vapor chamber heat dissipation unit measuring 10,000mm2. According to a recent leak, the device in China will be priced at 4000 Yuan (Rs.46,300/-).

Apple to bring this much needed feature with the new iPhone 16 series.

September 28, 2023

iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max unveiled a couple of weeks ago feature Action Button, which replaces the mute switch. According to MacRumors, the iPhone 16 series will also come with a capacitive button, internally named “Capture Button” and codenamed “Project Nova.”

There will be a capacitive Capture Button on the iPhone 15’s right-side frame, where the Power Button is located, but lower, near the mmWave cutout. Because the Capture Button is placed where the mmWave cutout is, it is moved below the volume buttons to the left-side frame.

Although its purpose is unclear, the Capture Button should work like the Home Button on the iPhone SE, mimicking the press of a physical button. According to the source, the Capture Button will also have a force sensor. In addition, unlike the Action Button, which is only available on the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, the Capture Button will be available on all iPhone 16 models.

A fallback device without the Capture Button has also been created by Apple as a backup.

The iPhone 16 series will also feature a capacitive Action Button called “Project Atlas.” Like the Capture Button, it will provide haptic feedback using strain gauges and reluctance motors.

Moreover, the iPhone 16 is expected to feature a redesigned camera bump and vertical camera arrangement, while the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max are expected to feature 6.3″ and 6.9″ screens, respectively. They are 0.2″ larger than their predecessors.

It’s worth keeping in mind that all this information is based on pre-production models, and since the iPhone 16 lineup’s design isn’t finalized, there’s always a chance we’ll get a completely different product at launch.

Here are the reasons for overheating in the iPhone 15 Pro series.

September 28, 2023

You can’t have missed the reports that certain iPhone 15 Pro series phones have been found to overheat. People have been complaining about hot-running Pro models since they launched.

Now, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has released a note, concluding that the A17 Pro chipset isn’t to blame for the overheating but rather compromises Apple made in the design of the thermal system. The A17 Pro is built on TSMC’s advanced new 3nm node, which is very efficient, but apparently still outputs more heat than the phone can dissipate.

In this case, Apple’s efforts to make the new iPhone Pro models lighter are to blame. Due to the higher heat conductivity of titanium, Apple had to reduce the heat dissipation area, resulting in worse heat management.

Throttling issues will likely be addressed by Apple with a software update, which can manage but not fix the issue. By limiting a phone’s performance and power requirements, a software update can prevent overheating.

It isn’t entirely clear why only some of the phones are affected by Kuo’s theory.
