While smartphone manufacturers churn out a steady stream of new devices each year, flagship processors are becoming less rare in the Android market. OEMs usually prefer to a couple of flagship devices and their rest of the phone lineup is entry-level or midrange devices. While Snapdragon 870 isn’t the newest chip, it should outperform many Android devices in today’s market. ZTE has just dropped the price of ZTE Axon A41 to an incredible $137 (999 CNY)!

ZTE A41 was initially launched in 2022 and has now hit its lowest price since release. It features Snapdragon 870 chipset, supports 66W charging, and boasts a 5000 mAh battery. For just $137, these specs are quite impressive.

The phone was originally priced at $605 in 2022, the current price is a quarter of its launch price. However, this deal is only available in China. While some ZTE phones are sold globally, the ZTE Axon 41 is not among them unfortunately.

It’s remarkable to see such significant price cuts on older devices from ZTE. Chinese smartphone manufacturers have made significant improvements in many countries with their competitive pricing. A price cut like this on the global market would be fantastic. While the ZTE Axon A41 might not run the latest Android, it would still be an excellent choice for users with basic needs.

Jun 30, 2024

Huawei‘s tablet lineup is shaping up to be a busy one, with yet another mysterious device appearing on the certification circuit. The MatePad MRO-W00 has just received its 3C certification in China, hinting at an imminent launch.

This follows closely on the heels of the MRO-W00’s radio approval two weeks ago, which revealed support for Beidou satellite SMS – a feature not commonly seen on tablets. Now, the 3C listing confirms support for a hefty 100W fast charger.

The certification details also mention the model number HW-200500C02 for the fast charger, but beyond that, specifics about the tablet itself are scarce. Additionally, the MRO-W00 has also received certifications for wireless LAN and Bluetooth functionality, alongside a NearLink certificate.

While we are still uncertain about the name of the tablet, a tipster on Weibo revealed that Huawei is preparing to launch six new products this month, one of which is the MatePad SE tablet.

The Huawei MatePad Tab SE tablet has been leaked recently and is expected to feature a Snapdragon 685 processor, a 7700mAh battery, and a 1920×1200 resolution screen with a 120Hz refresh rate. It will run on HarmonyOS 4.2.0.

Based on this information, we suspect that the MRO-W00 is the MatePad SE. Additionally, the tipster revealed that Huawei will launch the following products in July:

– Sound Joy2 Portable Speaker

– Sound X 4 Speaker

– Maimang 30 Phone (expected to be sold via Huawei Smart Selection)

– Smart Screen S5 Pro

– Lingxi Remote Control Kit for Smart Screen S3 Pro

While the exact details of the MatePad MRO-W00 are still under wraps, the 3C certification combined with the previous radio approval suggests a launch is on the horizon. Whether it’s the MatePad SE or something entirely new, we’ll likely know more in the coming weeks.

While details are limited at this point, the FCC listing suggests that a formal launch announcement for the Realme Watch S2 could be imminent.

Realme Watch S Specifications

The Realme Watch S2 will be the successor to the Watch S. Let’s quickly go over the specifications of the Realme Watch S. It has a round-shaped 1.3-inch LCD touch panel with a resolution of 360 x 360 pixels. It features an aluminum body and a removable strap.

The 390mAh battery promises up to 20 days of battery life, though it lacks support for GPS connectivity. The Watch S comes with Bluetooth 5.0 support and is compatible with Android and iOS devices.

It supports numerous sports modes, downloadable watch faces, call/message notifications, find phone, remote camera, music control, and more. In addition to a heart rate sensor and blood oxygen saturation monitor, it also features a 3-axis accelerometer and rotor vibration motor.

Meizu’s 2 affordable smartphones Meizu Note 21 and Note 21 Pro will be launched soon. Why do we call these devices affordable? Because they don’t have 5G support. The FCC certification revealed that both smartphones support 4G connections and don’t have 5G. This is an indication that the brand will not introduce the Meizu Note 21 and 21 Pro in all regions. We had spotted these smartphones a month ago.

Meizu Note 21 & Meizu Note 21 Pro

The Meizu Note 21 series does not support 5G, and Wi-Fi 6 support is also not available on the devices. The smartphones support 2G/3G/4G/4G and Wi-Fi 5 connections. We don’t think the devices will be sold in Europe. Because it does not have LTE FDD B20 band support. In addition, the Meizu Note 21 will come with a large 6000mAh battery.

Sharp-eyed gamers have spotted a curious development on the Xbox store. Foreign media outlet Gamerant has discovered a “Play with GeForce Now” button appearing for certain games, including “Resident Evil 8: Village” and “Street Fighter 6.”

Microsoft and Nvidia might have a bigger collaboration on the way

This has fueled speculation that Microsoft may be preparing to integrate cloud gaming services directly into the Xbox ecosystem. GeForce Now, a cloud gaming platform by NVIDIA, could potentially allow Xbox players to access these titles without needing downloads.

As previously reported, ten new games were added to the GeForce Now library this month, including the aforementioned “Resident Evil 8: Village” and “Street Fighter 6.” This alignment with the “Play with GeForce Now” button sightings further strengthens the possibility of an official announcement from Microsoft.

While the exact timeline remains unclear, it’s expected that Microsoft will formally unveil Xbox’s support for cloud gaming services within the next few months. Whether this integration will extend to offering GeForce Now within the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate (XGPU) subscription remains to be seen.
