The smartphone 5G has generated a lot of buzz among tech enthusiasts in India, and its launch is highly anticipated.

The phone will go on sale on Monday, Feb 20 and is expected to be priced around ₹45-50k.

Review – OnePlus 11 5G – Striving to Settle

When OnePlus launched its first-ever smartphone, it grabbed a lot of attention. Since then, they had a flourishing journey until they decided to hop on the flagship segment. The company had a tough 2022 as their flagship device OnePlus 10 Pro, failed to impress the consumers, but thanks to the OnePlus 10T, a mid-life revision of the OnePlus 10 Pro, a smartphone that rescued OnePlus from having a mid-life crisis and helped them to stay in the game. Now, it’s time to see what the OnePlus 11 5G brings to the table, a much-needed relief or the undesired path of downfall?

Design

OnePlus lost the tag of flagship killer a long ago, and now the company is trying hard to survive in the much competitive market. The OnePlus 11 5G arrives with IP64 equivalent protection for dust and splash resistance and few other significant changes, especially on the backside, where it has a strange-looking large camera unit but in a round shape. The phone boasts a punch-hole camera placed on the extreme left of the screen, volume buttons on the left profile, a lock key on the right, along with a comeback of an alert slider.

Display

The smartphone sports a 6.7-inch 2K resolution 120Hz AMOLED screen and is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus. Sounds like a good display, but that’s limited to the closed doors. As soon as you walk outside in the sun, even in full brightness, you won’t be able to see what’s on your screen! The OnePlus 11 5G is the first android smartphone that arrives with LTPO 3.0 technology, which assists the phone in switching between different refresh rates in a power-efficient manner.

Cameras

The OnePlus 11 5G features a triple camera set-up of 50 MP, f/1.8, 24-mm wide lens, 32 MP, f/2.0, 48mm telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom and 48 MP, f/2.2, ultrawide lens. The camera housing of the OnePlus 11 features some shimmering dust-like particles, which are quite noticeable and a bit strange. The main cameras of the OnePlus 11 5G support video shooting of up to 8K-24fps, while the ultra-wide supports 4k-30fps, and the telephoto supports only 1080P-30fps.

The main camera of the OnePlus 11 5G does a decent job of taking pictures, but it needs camera updates because the output seems more vibrant than required. The device sports a 16 MP selfie camera with Auto-HDR and allows you to shoot at 1080p-30fps. The output of the selfie camera seems better compared to the previous OnePlus smartphones. About the night mode, the device offers good results with all the colour details.

Performance

The OnePlus 11 5G arrives with Android 13 out of the box and is powered by Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, the fastest available chipset in the market. The latest processor from Qualcomm glides the device through everyday chores with ease and handles heavy tasks effortlessly. The smartphone we received was loaded with 16GB RAM + 4GB VRAM with 256 GB storage. The brand offers 4 generations of OxygenOS and 5 years of security updates for the OnePlus 11 5G. The device has support for 13 5G bands, Bluetooth 5.3, and Wi-Fi 7, which will soon be available in India.

Battery

The smartphone arrives with a 5000 mAh, 100w SuperVOOC fast charger, which promises a full charge in 25 minutes and takes only 5 minutes to reach the 30% mark. When it comes to normal usages, like 2 hours of content watching, 2 hours of social media and a few things here and there, the battery lasts for about a day. However, the battery surrenders quite quickly when you use the device extensively. Overall, the battery seems good for moderate-level usage, and for heavy use, carry the brick along.

Verdict

The design language of the OnePlus 11 5G is quite good, as it has a matte finish back panel and a different camera set-up. When it comes to camera and performance, the device outsmarts the moderate requirements. While the display of the smartphone is great if you are more concerned about refresh rate, prefer to stay inside, and like to watch OTT content. However, if you are into the outdoors, heavy gaming, camera-centric and power consumption, then please look elsewhere.

Redmi Note 12 Pro Review: Midrange Winner?

The Redmi Note series has undoubtedly been Xiaomi’s trump card in the Indian market. The series has been beloved by Indian consumers for the longest time as it is usually placed in the budget segment and offers great value for the price. This time around with the Redmi Note 12 series, things were a little different. While the Redmi Note 11 Pro was introduced at ₹16,999 in India, its successor was introduced at a hefty asking price of ₹24,999 pushing it to the midrange section. So, does the Redmi Note 12 Pro justify its price? Let’s find out –

Design and Display

The Redmi Note 12 Pro sports a 6.67-inch Full HD+ AMOLED display with 2400 x 1080 pixels. It sports a 120Hz refresh rate and 240Hz touch sampling rate. Running the device on 120Hz offers a buttery smooth experience. The display is also equipped with HDR10+ support that works beautifully for YouTube, Netflix and other OTT platforms. A rarity in this price segment is the Dolby Vision support which is a treat to the eyes while streaming content on YouTube. Adaptive refresh rate allows the device to switch between 30Hz, 60Hz, 90Hz, and 120Hz depending on content. I watched hours’ worth of content on the Redmi 12 Pro and there was never a dull moment. The display produces punchy colours and ample brightness for an immersive viewing experience. The tiny punch-hole camera sits at the top of the screen which doesn’t intrude while watching content. Above the display rests the earpiece that also doubles as a secondary speaker. The in-hand feel of the device is superb and it’s built like a flat brick. It is just 76mm wide and 7.98mm thick weighing 187 grams which makes it easy to hold.

Performance and Camera

The Redmi Note 12 Pro runs on an octa-core MediaTek Dimensity 1080 SoC chipset. The D1080 is paired with 6 or 8GB of RAM, the device we used was the 8GB RAM variant coupled with 256GB storage onboard. The 12 Pro also gets RAM expansion of up to 5GB of virtual memory. Sadly, the device sports Android 12 out of the box which is a disappointment. However, Xiaomi has promised an Android 13 update. With the D1080 and 8GB of RAM, day-to-day tasks like social media and streaming content on the device were a smooth ride. While playing graphics-heavy games like COD on the Redmi Note 12 Pro, some frame drops were experienced but they were negligible. Overall, the device provided a stable performance overall. It packs a large 5000mAh battery that can be juiced up with a 67W charger.

Redmi Note 12 Pro houses a 50-MP Sony IMX766 primary sensor which is its highlight. The same sensor was present in yesteryear’s multiple devices with impressive results. It also includes an 8MP ultra-wide camera and a 2MP macro camera. It houses a 16MP camera in the front for selfies. The primary camera of this device is capable of clicking some awesome photos with crisp details. Some over-saturation could be witnessed during low-exposure shots. Check out the camera samples of the Redmi Note 12 Pro below –

Verdict

The Redmi Note 12 is a capable device that can pretty much handle everything you throw at it. There are some features like Dolby Vision and adaptive refresh rate that are usually not present in devices at this price point. While it is a solid option for people looking for a device under ₹30K, I am not sure about it being the best value for your money.

What’s Good

  • Amazing screen with adaptive brightness
  • Battery life
  • Smooth performance
  • Dolby Vision

What’s Bad

  • Android 12
  • Bloatware

Top 5 Upcoming Smartphones to look forward to in 2023

Another year is about to go down, and we’re on the verge of entering a new one. Last year, we witnessed hundreds of smartphone launches, from affordable flagships to folding smartphones, from everything to nothing. Now, it’s time to look ahead and here are all the best upcoming smartphone launches we expect to see in 2023.

Samsung Galaxy S23

 

Every year, Samsung launches the best of their smartphones at the annual unpacked event. According to trusted tipsters, the company might launch the Galaxy S23 series smartphones at the event, which is expected to happen in February. The series includes three smartphones Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23 Plus, and Galaxy S23 Ultra. 

Like always, there won’t be massive changes in terms of design, but there’ll be some hardware improvements. The series is expected to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, which is built on the 4nm fabrication process by TSMC and might come with a 200MP primary rear camera. The Galaxy S23 series smartphones could start at around ₹80,000.

OnePlus 11 Pro

OnePlus would start its 2023 journey with a flagship smartphone, the OnePlus 11, and it is expected to come with typical high-end features like Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, Android 13 OS out of the box, cameras powered by and fine-tuned using Hasselblad technologies and more. The smartphone is believed to sport a 6.7-inch 2K LTPO display with a 120Hz refresh rate and two variants – 8GB/128GB and 12GB RAM/256GB storage.

Google Pixel Fold

We have been waiting for the launch of Google Pixel Fold for the last couple of years, but there’s no sign of the launch, yet we’re excited about it every year. According to recently leaked Pixel phone plans, the company might launch the Pixel 7a (codename “lynx”) and Pixel Fold (codename “felix”) in the Google I/O event in April or May 2023.

OnePlus Nord 3

OnePlus is planning to launch the OnePlus Nord CE 3 in Feb 2023, which will succeed the Nord CE 2, which was launched earlier this year with MediaTek Dimensity 900 and triple rear cameras. The leaked design of the Nord 3 looks like it is heavily inspired by the OnePlus’ famous OnePlus X and recent iPhones. The smartphone is expected to boast a 6.7-inch IPS LCD display with up to 120Hz refresh rate and would be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 695 chipset paired with up to 12GB of RAM and 256GB internal storage.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5

The Galaxy Z Fold 4 is the best folding phone we’ve ever seen, and if the rumours are right, the South Korean company will launch the Z Fold 5 in 2023. The 5th gen fold from Samsung is expected to arrive with an even slimmer design, faster charging, and a built-in S-Pen. Hope, it will come with an invisible crease in the centre.

EU wants replaceable batteries on smartphones

Do you remember the time when you’d drop your phone and it would break open with the back panel and battery scattering like lego pieces? If you’re old enough, you’ll surely recall a time when cell phones were not the sealed metal and glass slabs they are today. They could be easily opened up and the SIM slots were actually inside as opposed to the SIM trays we have now. But most importantly, the battery of the smartphone devices could easily be swapped out for a new one. A battery replacement for newer smartphones is actually a task as wanting slimmer and water-resistant devices has made sealed phones a norm. However, it looks like the high of forcing global tech giants to shift the USB Type-C via a mandate has made the EU confident about having removable batteries in the future.

EU rules on replaceable batteries

The EU recently made USB-C mandatory on smartphones sold in the EU specifically. This move was later reported to be followed by a number of other countries. While the Type-C mandate will go into effect in 2024, the EU is now targeting batteries citing similar sustainability and e-waste control reasons. EU not just wants smartphones to feature easily replaceable batteries but is pushing for the entire life cycle of batteries to be changed. EU states that at least 16% of cobalt, 85% of lead and 6% of lithium contained in a battery should be obtained from recycled sources.

While it is impossible to implement a drastic change like this overnight, the EU has given companies 3.5 years after the legislation is passed to redesign batteries that users can easily remove and replace themselves. In today’s scenario, when a mobile user experiences their battery dying out quickly, replacing them becomes a hassle. Users have to pay exorbitant prices for a battery swap if their device is no longer under warranty which pushes them to buy a new device. Thus, adding on e-waste. It will be interesting to see how tech giants like Apple, Google, and Samsung respond to this change by the EU.

Samsung launched two budget smartphones in India – Galaxy A04 & A04e

Samsung officially tosses two budget smartphones, the Galaxy A04 and Galaxy A04e, to the Indian market. The company has decided not to partner with Amazon or Flipkart for the sale of these smartphones. They will only be available on the Samsung India website and select retail stores across India.

The budget smartphone duo sports a 6.5-inch HD+ LCD Infinity-V display with 1560×720 pixels of screen resolution. Overall, both smartphones are pretty similar except for the camera setup; the Galaxy A04 is rigged with a 50MP dual rear camera, while the Galaxy A04e arrives with a 13MP dual camera setup.

The A04 series smartphones are powered by MediaTek Helio P35 CPU and have a maximum clock speed of 2.3GHz. The Galaxy A04 is available in two variants – 4GB+64GB at Rs 11,999 and 4GB+128GB at Rs 12,999, while the A04e is available in three variants – 3GB+32GB at Rs 9,299, 3GB+64GB at Rs 9,999, and 4GB+128 GB at Rs 11,499.

The Infinity-V display of the smartphones resembles a waterdrop notch. The A04 series smartphones will come with a 5MP front camera to capture selfies and have a back depth live focus camera. Both smartphones feature Adaptive Power Saving mode and have a Type-C charger in the packaging.

The A04 series smartphones will arrive with the Android 12 full version out of the box and pack a 5000mAh battery. The A04 smartphone will be available in three colour options – Green, Copper and Black, while the A04e smartphone will be available in two colour options – Light Blue and Copper. The sale of the smartphone will begin on 20th December.

Instagram’s ‘Account Suspended’ outage resolved

Imagine logging into your Instagram account expecting to interact with your daily feed. Instead, you’re prompted with the message “Instagram Account Suspended”. That is stuff made out of nightmares, to say the least! That was the case for a number of users on October 31, coincidentally on the eve of Halloween when they received a notification about their accounts getting suspended. Thousands also shared that they were unable to log in to their accounts entirely and also witnessed a massive drop in followers due to mass suspension. To our relief, Instagram’s outage issue has been resolved.

Instagram outage fixed

 

In an apology posted on Twitter, Instagram wrote “We’ve resolved this bug now — it was causing people in different parts of the world to have issues accessing their accounts and caused a temporary change for some in the number of followers. Sorry.” According to Instagram’s rules, the platform can disable certain accounts that violate community guidelines. The community guidelines include illegal content, bullying, hate speech, spam, and violating intellectual property rights. However, users who follow the community guidelines were also affected by the outage which took them by surprise.

It was not long after the outage when #InstagramDown started trending on Twitter and an outpour of memes was witnessed. Many content creators also started posting reels and stories making fun of the sudden followers drop. This Instagram outage came only a few days after Meta’s WhatsApp had also suffered a long downtime. Users were unable to send messages and upload status which resulted in #WhatsAppDown trending on Twitter.

Upcoming smartphones in India – November 2022

The festivities of Diwali may have come to an end and I hope you’ve had some of the best times of your life with friends and family. However, when it comes to the smartphone market in India, the festivities never seem to come to an end. Each month brings in a slew of new mobile devices and November is no different. Be it flagship or budget devices, there is definitely a device or two launching to fit each price category! So, without further ado, let’s jump right into the exciting upcoming devices launching in November 2022 in India! 

Xiaomi 12T series 

Both Xiaomi 12T and 12T Pro made their global debuts back on October 5, 2022. The long-rumored devices are finally expected to make an entry into the Indian market in late November! The 12T sports a 6.67-inch CrystalRes AMOLED display flaunting smart features like AdaptiveSync. The standard variant is powered by the MediaTek 8100 chipset, 120Hz refresh rate, and Gorilla Glass 5 protection on top. Whereas the 12T pro houses the beast Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1. Both variants are coupled with up to 256GB of storage. While the 12T Pro offers up to 12GB RAM, the standard variant is limited to 8GB. The Xiaomi 12T is expected to be launched in the 50K price category, and the 12T Pro in the 60k price category. 

Realme 10 4G 

While 5G has become a common feature for even budget to midrange devices in India, Realme is sticking to its guns with 4G launching the Realme 10 4G this month. The company has officially revealed that will be hosting the Realme 10 launch event this month but the exact date of the same is still under wraps. Leaks around the internet claim that the upcoming device will feature a 6.5-inch Full HD+ IPS LCD screen. The refresh rate of the device is still unknown. It will be backed by the MediaTek Helio G99 SoC and sport a 50MP camera coupled with a 2MP macro sensor. The front of the device is expected to rock a 16MP shooter. It will pack a 5000 mAh battery and support 33W fast charging. The expected price of this device is said to be between 17K to 19K thus putting it in competition with the likes of Redmi Note 11 Pro 4G and Moto G72 in India. 

iQoo Neo 7 

Vivo’s sub-brand iQoo has just recently launched the iQoo Neo 7, the successor to the previously launched neo 6. It is equipped with a 6.78-inch AMOLED display with HDR 10+ certification with Full HD+ capabilities and a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. The device runs on the MediaTek Dimensity 9000+ SoC paired with up to 12GB of RAM. It rocks a Sony IMX766V 50MP camera lens with optical image stabilization coupled with an 8 MP ultrawide and a 2 MP macro lens. The 5000 mAh battery of Neo 7 can be juiced up quickly thanks to its 120W charging support. Neo 7’s top model with 12GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage is priced in China at approx Rs 37,000. While the device is right now available only in China, it will be making its global launch in the coming month. 

OnePlus Nord 3 

OnePlus’ Nord brand has quickly become one of the front liners in the smartphone market in the midrange section. Doubling down on its Nord branding, OnePlus has unveiled the Nord N300 in the US. The budget smartphone comes with a 6.56-inch IPS LCD screen with a 90Hz refresh rate. The device sports a waterdrop notch which is a first for the OnePlus brand. It comes with a 48MP main camera and a 2MP depth lens. It has a side-mounted fingerprint sensor embedded in the power button. The 5000 mAh battery of the Nord N300 can be juiced up with 33W fast charging support. It runs on the Oxygen OS based on Android 13 sporting 4GB RAM and 64GB storage options. There is not much choice here when it comes to colors as it comes in only one shade – Midnight Jade. It is priced in the US at $228, which is roughly 19K in India. If released at the same price in India, it will make the OnePlus Nord 3 the cheapest offering by the company in the country. The new OnePlus device is expected to be launched in India in the fourth week of November. 

Redmi Note 12 Series 

Redmi fans are all set to receive yet another treat from the company with the launch of the Redmi 12 series. The series has officially launched in China in three variants, namely, Redmi 12, Note 12 Pro, and Note 12 Pro+. As one would expect, all three devices come with different features and are placed at different price points. The standard Redmi Note 12 comes with the latest Snapdragon 4 Gen 1 processor, whereas the Pro and Pro+ variants house a Dimensity 1080 chipset. Another difference between the three is that the standard Note 12 houses a 48MP primary shooter, whereas the 12 Pro sports a 50MP primary camera with OIS, and the 12 Pro+ flaunts a massive 200MP beast of a camera. The Redmi 12 series is expected to be launched in multiple price points starting at Rs 13.5K up to 25K. 

Moto Edge 30 Neo 

Moto will be adding yet another device to its successful Edge series with the Edge 30 Neo. The device is already available in the UK and US and now it’s time for it to shine in the Indian market. It is expected to house a Snapdragon 695 coupled with 8GB RAM and an internal memory of 128GB. The device will flaunt a P-OLD 6.28 inches display with 1080P resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. The dual camera setup of the device features a 64-MP lens and a 13-MP secondary lens. In the front, the device houses a 32-MP lens. It is expected to launch in the 25k to 30K price segments in India in November.

Moto Edge 30 Fusion Review: Almost There!

Motorola is back again with yet another Edge series device. This time around, the Moto Edge 30 Fusion. This device is being called by the company as ‘world’s most elegant powerhouse’ and looking at the device’s beautifully curved display I would take that argument into consideration. However, does the device have anything new to offer besides the ‘elegant’ display? Surely!

Heating Concern

The Moto Edge 30 Fusion comes with the Snapdragon 888+ SoC which is one of its biggest drawbacks in my opinion. The chipset is famously known to have heating issues, however, Motorola claims that they have been tackled. The device now comes with a vapour cooling chamber that allows the device to stay cool for longer periods of extensive gaming and other heavy tasks. During my testing of the device, I experienced some warmth at the back of the device during the first extended Call of duty session which quickly turned into the device heating up considerably. The camera module was a point of concern for me as it would heat up much more than the device during extensive gaming.

Impressive Camera 

During my extensive testing of the device I could see that while the camera produced vivid and punchy images, it has some improvement to do in noise reduction. I am hoping that the overtly noisy images from the main sensor are rectified through a software update down the line. The camera can shoot up to 8K videos but there is little to no stabilization trying to shoot one.

Beautiful Display

The colours produced by the display are vivid and the brightness at 1100 NITS is just right. Overall, no complaints about the display. The integration of edge light notifications gives the display yet another plus point! And the option to customize the Edge Light notifications is just the cherry on top of the cake.

Dolby Power

The device comes with Dolby branding on top of it which is weird, to say the least. However, I can understand why Moto decided to do that. The Edge 30 Fusion comes with a loud stereo speaker set-up that gives a multi-dimensional stereo sound. When it comes to connectivity, the device houses all 13 5G bands and WIFI 6E integration. Bluetooth 5.2 is also present here.

Clean Software Experience

The software side has been Motorola’s strong suit as they have always delivered a near-stock Android experience for its users. The device comes with Android 12 out of the box and the company has assured that it will get Android 13 and 14 updates down the line along with 3 years of security updates.

The back of the device looks ‘elegant’ as claimed by the company. It comes with a polished sandblasted aluminium frame which is fingerprint-proof. The device seriously feels premium in hand if used without a cover. But Motorola has provided a case in the box for this one. Edge 30 Fusion comes with a 4400 mAh battery which can be powered by a 68-watt charger in the box. The device heated up the first time I charged it using the 68-watt charger, but that was only just that one time.

Verdict

In conclusion, I would like to say that this is a device which should be in your consideration if you’re in the market for a mid-premium phone. While it does not come with the latest Snapdragon 8 + Gen 1 SoC, it comes with a stylish design and enough prowess to power through your day. 

Rating – 3/5 

  • 8 GB RAM | 128 GB ROM
  • 16.64 cm (6.55 inch) Full HD+ Display
  • 50MP + 13MP + 2MP | 32MP Front Camera
  • 4400 mAh Lithium Battery
  • Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 + Processor

 

Good – Beautiful Edge Display, Near android Stock Experience, Premium Feel, Loud Stereo Set Up

Bad – Snapdragon 888+ Chipset 

Ugly – Heating Issues

For The Long Run! How to maintain your smartphones longer

I get it, the latest iPhone 14 pro models are worth an upgrade! The new notch is definitely something I would like to flaunt on people but it comes with a hefty price tag. Let’s keep the pro models on the side, the standard iPhone 14 will also run up a high price for you as upgrades are not cheap. Knowing that the newer iPhones and flagship Android devices come with that price tag, one could simply choose to hold back on their device for another year or two. Annual mobile device upgrades are not a strict requirement unless you’re a tech junkie. So, for people who are looking to preserve their phones for a longer period of time, here are some tips and tricks: 

  • Remove unrequired apps and photos

After using a mobile device for an extended period of time, users start complaining about lags and stutters. In the majority of cases, this happens due to the storage and RAm capabilities of the device getting maxed out. An average user might not check if their storage is running out which results in the phone becoming less responsive and slow. This could force the user to consider an upgrade as opposed to clearing out the storage.  Please make sure that any unnecessary apps, photos, texts and documents are removed from the device. 

  • Power Down!

 Does your laptop keep running day in and out for months? Probably not. People do not keep their laptops running 24/7 but show no mercy to their mobile phones. Readers should know that your mobile phone is similar to a computer in multiple ways, this means that it does require to shut down and take a breather now and then. Allowing your phone to shut down for a few minutes every week will allow it to run more efficiently and extends its life. 

  • Replace your battery

Why spend a huge amount of money to upgrade your device if you can spend marginally less and fix your battery? Mobile phone batteries come with a certain number of charge cycles. As the number of these charge cycles keeps increasing, the battery becomes less efficient. Swapping your battery every two years helps in retaining the longevity of the device. Many phone insurance plans usually cover battery swap prices. Whereas, iPhone users can get battery swaps done through Apple’s official service providers making it a stress-free experience. 

  • Protect the screen

One of the most vulnerable yet the most important component of your mobile device is its screen. Screen cracks are a common thing for phones to go through yet it doesn’t make it any less painful. Users should make sure that their mobile screens are protected with the help of a tempered screen protector. While tempered glass does not entirely ensure that your phone screen will survive a big drop, it sure brings in added protection. Other things to consider to maintain your device for a long time are investing in a sturdy phone case, cleaning your ports, and keeping the best charging practices.
