Chinese chip manufacturing giant SMIC recently posted its earnings for the first quarter of 2022 which saw a whopping year-on-year increase of 62.6 percent. However, despite the company’s immense growth, SMIC is actually projecting a terrible year for smartphone sales worldwide, claiming that it will drop by some 200 million units.

Previously, we reported that WhatsApp was developing a second version of the multi-device function. The team seems to have settled on a name called WhatsApp Companion that allows to you link a secondary device to your current WhatsApp account.

Although this sounds wild, it is doable. According to the latest report, Samsung plans to use electric vehicle (EV) battery in its smartphones. Doing so, it will allow for higher capacity in a similar-sized package.

Someone has shared the product launch roadmap of OnePlus, giving us an overall look at the devices that the company will present this year. According to it, there will be a total of six OnePlus smartphones coming in 2022, and we're quite close to the launch of a few of them too. 

We might be seeing a new OnePlus smartphone soon after the company was recently spotted receiving the mandatory 3C Certification in China for a device codenamed ‘PGKM10’. Shared by reliable tipster Digital Chat Station on Weibo, the upcoming OnePlus device will feature the Dimensity 8100 chipset and a whopping 160W fast charging capabilities.

Previously, Oppo was reported to be including a 150W fast charging tech in its latest smartphone and it seems that OnePlus is one-upping its partner company in this regard. Furthermore, given the device has already passed 3C Certification, it is very likely that OnePlus would be releasing this PGKM10 device soon.

After sharing a first look at the vivo X Fold and its specs last week, reliable tipster Digital Chat Station has done one better today by posting schematics of vivo's first foldable phone. And true to the leakster’s previous claims, the schematics shows that the phone will feature a quad-camera setup.

A further look at the alleged X Fold’s schematics also reveals a punch-hole camera on the cover screen of the foldable. Furthermore, it is also consistent with Digital Chat Station’s previous claims that the X Fold will adopt the same form factor of the Xiaomi Mi Mix Fold, Samsung Galaxy Z Fold, Huawei Mate X2 and Oppo Find N.

OPPO Malaysia has announced that the Reno7 series will officially start going on sale at the OPPO Reno7 First Sale Roadshow this weekend (5 & 6 March 2022) located at Sunway Pyramid’s Blue Atrium.

What’s more, exclusively during the roadshow, OPPO Malaysia will be giving out a complimentary new OPPO Watch Free worth RM449 on top of free gifts worth up to RM1267 to the first 100 customers who purchase the Reno7 Series 5G!

amsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, the South Korean tech giant’s most recent flagship smartphone has been making waves for its impressive specs list and sleek modern design that’s befitting of its ‘Ultra’ name.

In fact, the latest and greatest Samsung smartphone has proven to be ultra durable too, even surviving JerryRigEverything’s famous ‘durability test’ that has practically destroyed dozens of phones before!

Last year, OPPO unveiled its first foldable device at the OPPO INNO Day. That device features the standard inward-fold with a relatively affordable price. But that's probably not the last one that the company has to show, with sources claiming two more foldable devices to come in 2022.

In the span of a few weeks, major chip companies all released their latest mobile chipsets. There's the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, MediaTek Dimensity 9000, and the most recent Exynos 2200. It's hard to say which chipset is the best, but new benchmarks could answer this question.
