Oppo’s upcoming Find X3 Pro will use a Samsung-made AMOLED display with an LTPO backplane, allowing a variable refresh rate between 5Hz and 120Hz. According to a popular insider Ice universe the panel will be Samsung’s E4 with 10-bit color support and it will be the first non-Samsung on the market with an LTPO panel. The latter claim could be challenged by the OnePlus 9 Pro, which will also have an LTPO display and become official on March 8, three days before Oppo’s Find X3 Pro.

Apple is looking to release an OLED iPad Pro next year. By a Digitimes report, Apple will use a 10.9-inch OLED panel for its 2022 iPad Pro. The report states that Apple is also planning a 12.9-inch OLED iPad Pro and even a 16-inch OLED MacBook Pro to follow later in 2022. The report is a bit questionable, especially given the many sources pointing to Apple’s 2021 lineup of iPad Pro and MacBook Pro adopting new mini-LED display technology. The first time we got to see an iPad mini LED is this month. The new redesigned MacBook Pro 14 and…

On the phone side, the company has aligned the Snapdragon 800 series chips with the FastConnect 6900 connectivity system. For headsets and earphones, there are the QCC514x, QCC515x, and QCC3056 series Bluetooth audio SoCs. Between them, they support aptX Adaptive, which is capable of delivering high-quality 24-bit 96kHz audio with very low latency – as low as 89ms (45% less than “a top…
Samsung has sold 590,000 devices in its Galaxy S21 series, a report from South Korea has revealed. The numbers are the highest since the Galaxy S8 (620,000 units). For the first month of sales, the Galaxy S21 moved nearly twice as many units as the Galaxy S20 last year.

The base model of the Galaxy S21 started from KRW990,000 (around $ 870), while the vanilla…
CEO Madhav Sheth has previously revealed that the Realme 8 will have a 5,000mAh battery with 30W Dart Charge, so you’d expect the Realme 8 Pro to run faster. And that could be proof of that – FCC documents detailing a Realme RMX3081 have surfaced, which appears to be the Realme 8 Pro 4G. Documentation shows that a 65W charger will be used to fill the phone’s 4,500mAh battery (typical capacity). This matches the specifications of the company’s SuperDart chargers and if the Realme 7 Pro is any indication (it has the same battery capacity) a full charge will only…

The vanilla model comes with a fast 65W charge while the Pro hits the ridiculous 120W mark, which Nubia says can achieve a 0-100% full charge in just 17 minutes. We now have a demo video to see a real world test thanks to a Chinese blogger Zhong Wenze who timed the time it would take to charge the Red Magic 6 to 100%. At the start of the video, we can clearly see that the phone has a 3% charge. It quickly manages…
Amazfit is expected to launch a new smartwatch, called T-Rex Pro. A YouTuber from Turkey posted a hands-on video with the laptop that has yet to be officially announced, and the device is pretty much identical to its predecessor, the Amazfit T-Rex. However, the new T-Rex Pro will now be able to withstand a pressure of 10 ATM. The new T-Rex Pro will also track “over 100 sport modes,” partially activated by a second-generation BioTracker PPG which now also supports blood oxygen / SpO2 tracking in addition to heart rate measurements.
