realme confirms GT2 series global launch soon, plus more laptops and tablets in 2022

Recently, details about the realme GT 2 series have been leaked online. The company has revealed the designs and some specs, but the launch date remained elusive. Fortunately, realme looks to be ready for the global launch soon.

In a recent interview with Android Authority, realme's Madhav Sheth confirmed that the global launch for the realme GT 2 series would be coming "very soon". An exact date or launch window was not mentioned, but we expect it to be within the next few weeks. The realme GT 2 series is the company's next flagship smartphone series and it will come with high-end features like a large vapour chamber.

Besides news on the realme GT 2 series, the realme Vice President mentioned that there will be new tablets for different price segments in 2022. On top of that, there will be new laptops that will most likely feature the latest 12th Gen Intel Core CPUs. For reference, the realme Book that launched last year only had 11th Gen Intel Core i3 and Core i5 CPUs, making them entry-level and mid-range productivity machines.

Considering the brand's usual pricing strategy, budget-conscious people should wait before shopping for a new tablet and laptop. Having said that, do you have plans to get one of these in 2022? Let us know in the comments below!


realme confirms upcoming launch for realme Q3s in Oct 2021

When it comes to the brand with the most variety of smartphones, realme is probably the name most people think of. Besides the flagship realme GT series, there's also the Narzo series and mainline numbered series. But the one we haven't heard much of is the Q-series.

Interestingly enough, realme has plans to launch a new realme Q-series phone in October 2021. According to realme's Global VP Derek Wang (on Weibo), the new device has been named the realme Q3s and it will come with the Snapdragon 778G chipset. He also claimed that the device has gotten a "comprehensive upgrade" over the realme Q3 5G.

In other words, this could be even better than the realme Q3 Pro. With that in mind, the realme Q3s should at least have 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage (if not more). In my opinion, the area that will see an upgrade would be the rear or front camera. It could also come with a larger battery or screen.

Of course, the words "comprehensive upgrade" is pretty vague, as it suggests that the device will get an overall upgrade. But for now, all we can do is speculate. What do you think realme would upgrade? Let us know in the comments, and stay tuned to TechNave for more updates about this.


realme could be launching a 100W charger soon

It seems more companies are getting ready to launch fast-chargers supporting more than 100W. Xiaomi's 120W fast-charger is supposedly around the corner and now realme might be following suit. Allegedly, realme will reveal a fast-charging tech that supports more than 100W soon.

According to Ishan Agarwal, a reliable source has revealed that realme will unveil this 100W+ fast-charging tech in July. It will be named "Ultra Dart" and is said to be able to charge a 4000mAh to about 1/3rd capacity in 3 minutes. If the math is linear, that would mean you should be able to fully juice up a 4000mAh battery in about 10 minutes. Based on the image tweeted by the leaker, this is a 120W charger.

A reliable source tells me that #realme’s developing a 100W+ fast charging tech to be revealed in July. It might be called "Ultra Dart" and can charge 1/3rd of a 4000mah+ battery in just 3 mins.As you can see in the image, 11660mA indicates almost 120W of charging speed. pic.twitter.com/tfjJZFHiPx

The highest nominal realme project is 120W. If there is no accident, there will be official actions next week, looking forward to Ao [rabbit]

This was hinted by Digital Chat Station as well, who claimed that realme's 100W wired fast-charger will be revealed soon. Additionally, the highest nominal fast-charger from realme is supposed to be 120W and there could be an official announcement from the company on this as early as next week. If that's the case, realme could launch this new 100W fast-charger and show off the 120W version at the same time.

As per normal, this is an unconfirmed leak so please take it with a grain of salt. With that being said, what do you think about this? Do you prefer a larger battery or faster charging? Let us know on our Facebook page and stay tuned to TechNave.com for more news.


realme could be launching laptops in Q3 2021 according to an official survey

Last time, we were tricked by realme as the brand released a teaser poster for its "upcoming laptop MeowBook" one day before April Fool's Day. Although it was just a prank, there's no denying it's possible for the smartphone manufacturer to venture into the laptop segment in the near future. Today, a new report has arrived saying that realme already started preparing for it by asking the public to fill up a laptop survey.

The survey is conducted via Google Forms by asking some basic questions including gender, age group, and annual income. Besides that, there are also some questions that want to know the smartphones used by the participants and how satisfied they are with them. Now, the interesting part is the brand also asked whether the participants are looking to buy a laptop in the next 3 months, which suggests that realme laptops could be launched in Q3 2021.

Other than that, realme is also interested in knowing what are the features that the participants would like to see on a laptop, and how much they're willing to spend on laptops by providing a price range from as low as under ₹30,000 (~RM1,666) to as high as ₹50,000 (~RM2,777) & above. For now, it is unsure if realme will reveal its first laptop in the coming months as not much information has been given. However, this survey definitely means something that we can get excited about.

realme could be launching the realme Watch 2 and Watch 2 Pro soon

After launching the realme Watch S in November 2020, the company might have now shifted its focus onto new smartwatches. According to a source, realme might have started working on the realme Watch 2 and Watch 2 Pro.

The smartwatches were found in the source code of the realme Link app that serves as the central hub for realme's AIoT products. Besides the names, not much other information has been given at this moment. Of course, the smartwatches are expected to bring some upgrades over the previously-launched realme Watch.

To recap, the realme Watch sports a 1.4-inch LCD with a resolution of 320 x 320 pixels. Other than that, the smartwatch also comes with a 160mAh battery that can last from 7 to 9 days. With power-saving mode on, it can last even longer which is up to 20 days. It also has an IP68 rating to provide protection against water. The first-gen realme Watch is priced at RM299 in Malaysia.

Apple might be working on reverse wireless charging through screen for future devices

Reverse wireless charging is probably a feature that most of us would like to see on the Apple iPhones. If you're one of the people, this patent is here to bring excitement to you. According to it, the Cupertino-based tech giant is working on a technology that allows you to charge through its devices' screens.

Most of the reverse wireless charging methods we see on the market work through the back panels instead of the front screen. Therefore, Apple's idea might spark a discussion if it ever came true. Not only it's innovative, but it could also be convenient for some without flipping the device, which still lets you have a peek at the screen.

If you want to get into the technical stuff, the technology basically works by extending the range of reverse charging. The patent also suggests that the part of the screen dedicated to recharging would be transparent and therefore would not offer a display, unless Apple decides to opt for a hybrid display area. It shows a recharge coil would be located just below the screen as well.

What do you think about this reverse charging method from Apple? Drop a comment to let us know and stay tuned to TechNave.com for more tech reports.

realme gearing up to reveal the world's fastest smartphone charging technology at MWC 2022

realme has confirmed to present the global version of the realme GT 2 series at the MWC 2022 on 28 February. However, besides the devices, the company also revealed today that it's introducing the world's fastest smartphone charging technology on the same day.

If you didn't know, realme shares the same parent company with OPPO and OnePlus. Therefore, it definitely has the resources to build such innovative technology. realme will also be focusing to "go premium" this year, noting that 70 per cent of its corporate Research & Development (R&D) resources will go towards technology innovations.

realme is having an online contest asking fans on their Dynamic Island ideas for realme phones

Since a developer already ported the Dynamic Island function from the iPhone 14 Pro (and 14 Pro Max) to a Xiaomi device, realme is planning to do so as well. It happened not too long ago at a realme Community portal, asking realme Fans "What's your dream island like?".

Upon visiting the webpage, it seems like realme is holding a competition for realme Fans on a potential realme Island.

The realme Fans don't have to go anywhere else to submit their ideas, all they have to do is comment below on the same webpage.

realme is investing $300 million to launch seven R&D centres to focus on 5G technology

If you are familiar with realme, you would know by now that they are quite aggressive in marketing. Apart from releasing new phones every month, the company is also on a mission to implement 5G technology on several upcoming smartphones. To support this, they are investing and setting up new Research and Development centres for 5G.

According to realme, they plan to invest $300 million and set up seven R&D centres globally so that the 5G rollout would be easier. Besides that, nearly 90% of R&D resources are to be reallocated for 5G related matters in products and applications. Just this year along, they have already set up pilot testing centres in 10-15 markets.

On top of that, they also plan to have at least ten 5G experience zones for the public (especially the youngsters) to experience 5G technology in cloud gaming and ultra HD live broadcast with AR first hand. realme also wants to work closely with many industry partners like telecom operators, Internet providers and app developers on this 5G technology.

Currently, realme is heavily marketing towards Southeast Asia, India and Europe. We won't be surprised to see a 5G centre or experience zone here in Malaysia one day, as realme Malaysia is quite active and has its own fair amount of fan base.

realme is preparing smartphone that comes with the 5nm Snapdragon 875 chipset

At last night's Apple Event, the tech giant has taken the lead to bring the first 5nm process which is the A14 Bionic chipset to the market. To not be left behind the race, Redmi's General Manager Lu Weibing publicly asked if the consumers are excited about their new products with a 5nm process too. Now, realme's Vice President Xu Qi has voiced out regarding the latest technology as well by hinting that the company is preparing a flagship to come with the upcoming Qualcomm Snapdragon 875 chipset.

The Snapdragon 875 chipset that is to be manufactured by Samsung might only make an appearance in December according to Qualcomm's yearly routine. Until now, the chip manufacturer hasn't made any official statement regarding their highly-anticipated 5nm process yet.

Other than that, it is said that the next-gen chipset will be at least 50% costlier than the current-gen flagship chipsets like Snapdragon 865 and 865 Plus. For companies who strive to make budget devices like Redmi and realme, it is unsure how they will be able to persuade Qualcomm to sell their flagship chipsets to these smartphone manufacturers at a lower price.

Let us know if you're excited to see more smartphones with the 5nm process on our Facebook page. Stay tuned to TechNave.com for more latest smartphone updates.


realme is teasing that the next Qualcomm chipset might not be the Snapdragon 875

In just a few more hours, Qualcomm will be hosting their Tech Summit Digital 2020 via livestream and you can watch it on YouTube at 11 PM. That said, many speculations are saying that the next successor of the Snapdragon chipset would be the 875 but that might not be the case.

As spotted on Twitter, Madhav Sheth, the CEO of realme India just teased a mysterious message "Qualcomm 8_ _". This can be normally disregarded as it could be a reference to the Snapdragon 875 but now rumours are saying it could be the Snapdragon 888 instead. Besides Sheth, Xu Qi from realme China also posted the same message in Weibo.

The number 865 to 888 is quite a big jump indeed, but of course, we have to take it with a pinch of salt. By the way, executives from Sony, OnePlus and Xiaomi will be appearing at the event as well to deliver their conference note on mobile gaming and product updates. We will know the news soon enough so until then, stay tuned for more trending tech news at TechNave.com.


Apple might bring back the Touch ID on the iPad mini 6 this year

According to CoverPigtou, a pop-up website from China, they shared some 3D render images of the unofficial iPad mini 6. There isn't much news about the iPad series recently so we may have to take this with a pinch of salt. Nonetheless, let us check out what this new iPad rumour is all about.

Looking at the 3D render, this iPad mini 6 has a higher screen-to-body ratio. There's no Face ID seen on the tablet but it does have an on-screen fingerprint sensor. We aren't sure if that's a cutout or not but having one is not that practical for a device. There are rumours that Apple may bring back the Touch ID for the iPhone 13 too but we shall see.

Besides that, the website also mentioned that the iPad mini 6 measures 203.2 x 134.8 x 6.25mm. They also think the display size may be a bit off for some reason, as initial reports are saying it's 8.4-inches but it could be 9.15-inches. Honestly, we think that may be a bit far fetched as the iPad mini 5 was only 7.9-inches.

Anyway, do take this news with a pinch of salt as aforementioned. Stay at home, stay safe and stay tuned for more trending tech news at TechNave.com.


realme is working on a MagSafe equivalent called MagDart

Wireless charging pads aren't new, but magnetic ones aren't common either

They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, meaning brands copy each other out of admiration. Regardless of the motivation, similar products in technology aren't all that unusual. So it wasn't surprising to hear that realme wants to make a MagSafe copy.

As spotted by DroidMaze, realme has registered a new trademark for the name 'MagDart'. It has been officially filed by the EUIPO (European Union Intellectual Property Office) and is likely realme's alternative to Apple's MagSafe technology. The trademark filing also confirms that it will be a wireless charging pad for smartphones.

For your info, the 'Dart' in the name comes from realme's charging tech called SuperDart. As for 'Mag', it should indicate that magnets would be involved. It's worth noting that the trademark filing was submitted by OPPO, which is another company under BBK Electronics. In other words, don't be surprised when OPPO, vivo, and OnePlus also announced wireless charging pads that use magnets.

Of course, wireless charging pads aren't anything new. But it's a curiosity to hear that it'll be similar to the MagSafe. Perhaps the company is gearing up for a MagDart power bank or other related accessories? Share your thoughts on that in the comments below! For more news like this, do stay tuned to TechNave.com.

realme leap to next with 8 new products including a smartphone, TWS earbuds, smart TVs and more

The day has finally come! realme's highly-anticipated event has happened today in both China and India. As promised, the company has launched eight new products including the realme X50 Pro Player Edition, realme Buds Q, realme Buds Air Neo, realme Watch, two variants of power banks (realme Power Bank 2 and realme 30W Dart), realme Smart TV, and a realme backpack. Now, let's find out what features and specs that all the products offer!

The realme X50 Pro Player Edition houses more gaming-centric features and tech specs compared to the regular realme X50 Pro. It still has a Snapdragon 865 chipset with 5G connectivity, a 6.44” AMOLED screen with a 90 Hz refresh rate, and a combination of LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.0 storage. Other than that, there is also a 4,200mAh battery which realme's CMO Xu Qi Chase said that it will go from 0% to 100% in 35 minutes.

Furthermore, the device now comes with HyperBoost 3.0 that allocates all the memory, chipset, and battery power to bring better gaming experience. Therefore, you will not be having any redundant notifications, background-running apps, and have your location services turned off while gaming. The feature will also allow the device to switch between Wi-Fi to LTE or 5G with zero lag. Last but not least, they have added graphite sheets between the battery and the back panel as well to help dissipate the heat, which prevents the device from turning into a toaster.

However, you will be losing some of the camera features from the standard X50 Pro if you're going for the Player Edition. The main 64MP has been replaced with a 48MP module, and the telephoto lens has also been taken away for a 2MP macro shooter. On the front, the 32MP + 8MP ultrawide lens combination has been replaced with a 16MP sensor and a 2MP depth sensor.

The realme X50 Pro Player Edition will be available in two colours which are Light Speed Silver and Phantom Black. It will be sold at the price of 2,699 Yuan (~RM1,650) for 6/128GB variant, 2,999 Yuan (~RM1833) for 8/128GB variant and 3,299 Yuan (~RM2,017) for 12/128GB variant. Besides that, the company has also launched a not-for-sale special anniversary Realme X50 Pro version and will be gifted to special fans who have been following raffles and other activities.

Next, the realme Buds Q has also been launched and it is a pair of true wireless earbuds designed by Hermès co-designer José Lévy. The Buds Q are IPX4 rated to withstand water splashes, come with advertised 20 hours of combined battery life, and support Bluetooth 5.0. Each bud weighs 3.6g and the total weight (with the case) is 35.3g. The Buds Q drivers are 10mm and the case supports 30W fast wired charging. However, the pair doesn't come with wireless charging and it will be sold at the price of 129 Yuan (~RM78) in China.

The realme Buds Air Neo is being offered as a cheaper variant compared to the realme Buds Air, but still has some slightly upgraded specs. It will come with a larger driver at 13mm compared to the previous 12mm. The Buds Air Neo will also offer up to 17 hours of combined playback (3 hours on the buds themselves), Bluetooth 5.0 with 119.2ms latency, and Instant Auto Connection with a realme smartphone.

However, the reasons that might pull you back from buying one would be it doesn’t have a wireless charging option and Environment Noise Cancellation while the realme Buds Air has. The realme Buds Air Neo will come in three colours which are Green, Red, and White with a price of 270 Yuan (~RM165).

The long-awaited realme’s first smartwatch has been launched today at the event as well. From what we know from the rumours, the realme Watch has a design that resembles the one from Apple Watch. It comes with a 1.4-inch Touchscreen display with 2.5D curved Gorilla Glass 3 protection on top, IP68 rating, and up to 12 pre-installed watch faces.

Other than that, the realme Watch also has a feature called 24/7 Health Assistant. It includes a real-time heart-rate monitor, blood oxygen level monitor (SpO2) and is able to track 14 types of sports activities. The realme Watch is available with strap in four colours that are Black, Red, Blue, and Green. It was being announced at the event held in India and it will be priced at 3,999 INR (~RM229).

Other than smartphone and TWS Earbuds, realme has also announced two power banks to power up all your devices. The realme Power Bank 2 has a capacity of 10,000mAh and supports 18W two-way charging. It has one USB-A port and one USB-C port. Another one will be the realme 30W Dart power bank which has a capacity of 10,000mAh and can both give and receive 30W of wired charge. The realme Power Bank 2 is priced at 109 Yuan (~RM66) and realme 30W Dart is priced at 199 Yuan (~RM121).

The smart TVs from realme will be available in two variants which are 32-inch and 43-inch. For the tech specs, the 32-inch realme Smart TV has a resolution of 1366x768 pixels (HD-Ready) while the 43-inch variant has a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels (full-HD).

realme may release a Naruto Special Edition smartphone on 26 May 2022

If you’re a fan of realme and Naruto, then here’s a crossover that’s going to put a smile on your face. The Chinese tech company is apparently collaborating with the super popular anime series for a special edition smartphone which may launch as early as tomorrow (26 May 2022).

realme chief marketing officer (CMO) Xu Qi Chase took to his official Weibo account earlier today to share a teaser image of the special edition smartphone. In the post, the realme CMO said that the design of the device was finally finalised after 17 months, with some 55 previous designs being rejected.

However, Xu Qi Chase didn’t actually reveal what realme smartphone the special edition will be based on. A closer look at the teaser poster would suggest that it is the realme GT Neo 3, especially based on the camera module.

Xu Qi Chase then cryptically told realme fans via the Weibo post that he’ll be seeing them tomorrow at a launching event. Speaking of which, the tech company will be holding an event in China at 2pm local time tomorrow, where we might see this realme x Naruto smartphone be officially unveiled.

Can’t wait! What do you guys think of this collaboration between realme and Naruto? Share your thoughts with us in the comments below and stay tuned to TechNave for the latest tech news!


realme might not pack the charger for future phones with this decision made

It seems like the 'ditching charger' craze has spread to another smartphone company. Having that said, realme has announced that it will not include a charger in the packaging box of the upcoming Narzo 50A Prime.

The company published a post on its community forum for the announcement. It claimed that this decision was made with sustainability in mind, pointing to its target for net-zero carbon emissions by 2025. Besides that, it also added that dropping the charger from the Narzo 50A Prime's box has upsides for the phone itself, which include a "big leap in terms of chipset performance and screen revolution", and we have to wait and find out what exactly it's about.

Furthermore, in an interview with XDA-Developers, realme global CEO Madhav Sheth suggested that a phone's charging speed relates to the decision to drop the charger from the box as well. "If I was only giving you an 18W charger for the rest of my life, maybe I'd remove the charger from the box. But if I'm changing the voltage and the capacity of the solution, which is now 65W or 150W, where will the consumer go and buy this charger from?", said Sheth.

Do the reasons justify the decision? Leave a comment to let us know your opinion, and stay tuned to TechNave.com for more smartphone news.

Apple might combine services like Podcasts+, Stocks+, and Mail+ into new subscription model

Last year, Apple combined a few of its services into one subscription package called the Apple One. But could the company do something similar with its enterprise and productivity services? We're not sure about that, but some analysts believe that some services could gain new a new premium tier that offers more.

According to Loup Ventures (via Wccftech), Apple could create a separate subscription service for a few services, providing extra benefits previously unavailable. The services that were named include Health+, Mail+, Maps+, Podcasts+, and Stocks+. Some of you may recognise these as free apps available on the Apple App Store.

What if there's a new subscription package (like the Apple One) for Apple's productivity apps?

Currently, some of these apps deliver extras via in-app purchases. A subscription model could allow you to gain all of the extra benefits at a lower cost, which is useful if you do use all of them regularly. This type of all-in-one subscription model could also bring about wider integrations between the different services.

Of course, this is only speculation and may not actually happen. Having said that, would you be interested in such a subscription service if the price if right? What other Apple services do you think should get an improvement? Let us know in the comments and stay tuned to TechNave for more news like this.

realme now has a sub-brand called Dizo, feature phones spotted on FCC

It's surprising to hear, but even a relatively new brand like realme already has a sub-brand. Dubbed Dizo, the new brand will allegedly have a focus on Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT). Two feature phones have also been spotted on the US FCC.

According to GSMArena, production units of the Dizo Star 300 and Star 500 were found on the FCC website. These feature phones are being tested by the US certification organisation, which suggests that they may become available in the coming weeks. Anyway, the smaller Dizo Star 300 has a relatively large 2500mAh battery, while the Dizo Star 500's highlight is its screen.

Besides feature phones, the brand also has wearables

Both devices support dual-SIM with 2G connectivity, so it's clear they're not targeted at the average urban user. Of course, that's not all Dizo has to show so far. The company also has the Dizo GoPods, Dizo GoPods D, and Dizo Watch, which were spotted on Shopee's Vietnam page. These are based on the realme Buds Air 2, realme Buds Q2, and realme Watch 2, respectively.

Judging by the types of products shown so far, Dizo could be a sub-brand targeted at regions with lower buying power. We probably won't be seeing these in Malaysia, but what do you think? Share your thoughts in the comments below, and stay tuned to TechNave for more tech news like this.

It seems that a realme smartphone with the model number RMX3085 has been spotted on Geekbench, detailing that it will come equipped with an Helio G95 chipset. While not much is known in regards to the Malaysia release date, it does give us a better idea on what to expect when it is available in the local market.

Other than the chipset mentioned above, it seems that the Geekbench listing also hinted that the smartphone in question will come equipped with 8GB RAM, as well as Google’s Android 11 operating system. With all that said, do take some of the information with a grain of salt, due to the fact that realme has yet to provide an official statement on the leak.

Not only that, but there’s also no news on the local pricing and exact tech specs of the realme in question for now. Would you be interested in getting the smartphone as soon as it is available here? Let us know on our Facebook page and for more updates like this, stay tuned to TechNave.com.

It seems that a realme smartphone with the model number RMX3142 has been spotted on TENAA, hinting that the smartphone will come equipped with 65W fast charging capabilities and a battery capacity of 4400mAh. While not much is known in regards to the Malaysia release date, it does give us a better idea of what to expect when the smartphone is available in the local market.

Other than the battery and fast charging, the smartphone in question is expected to either come with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 series or up to a Dimensity 1200 chipset. Also, it will come with a 6.43-inch AMOLED FHD+ display, a triple camera setup with up to a 64MP sensor, as well as a 32MP front-facing selfie camera that’s embedded in the hole-punch notch at the top left.

With all that being said, do take every bit of information with a grain of salt, due to the fact that realme has yet to provide an official statement on the leak. Not only that, but there’s also no news on the local pricing, and exact tech specs for now.

Apple might ditch the iPad Mini as soon as they launch the foldable iPhone

Based on a statement by gizmochina, it seems that there could be a possibility that Apple might stop producing the iPad Mini as soon as they release a foldable iPhone. While not much is known in regards to when the foldable iPhone will be unveiled, this report gives us an idea on what’s Apple planning in the future.

To go into more detail, it seems that the foldable smartphone will most likely come with an operating system which is basically a hybrid between iOS and iPadOS. As for the pricing, our source mentioned that it will most likely be priced at around USD1499 (~RM6183).

Do take some of the information with a grain of salt, due to the fact that Apple has yet to provide an official statement on the leak. Not only that, but there’s also no information in regards to the Malaysia release date, local pricing, and exact tech specs for now.

With all that said, what are your thoughts on Apple potentially ditching the iPad Mini for a foldable iPhone? Let us know on our Facebook page and for more updates like this, stay tuned to TechNave.com.


realme rumoured to be working on new 5G phone series

The first half of 2020 has seen plenty of new devices from realme, but the company isn't slowing down just yet. It looks like realme is starting to work on a new series of smartphones and it'll be 5G-ready. The Chinese manufacturer's goal with the new series seems to be in addressing a specific issue when it comes to 5G phones.

Based on a photo leaked by Digital Chat Station, realme is planning to launch a brand-new series of 5G smartphones. Moreover, the words in the photo mentioned that the new series aims to 'perfectly' resolve the issue of high refresh rate displays used with 5G smartphones. The silhouette of the phone doesn't show us much, but it seems like it'll come with a curved display that either uses a very small punch-hole camera or an under-display camera.

A new machine of realme is exposed. The new Ori gives the phone. It seems to be a single hole. Without the ancestral pills, it will also perfectly solve the pain points of the 5G high brush, and it suddenly smells. My point is that Ollie gave this series a name, I don’t.. (1/2)

As for what the issue mentioned above is about, 5G smartphones with high refresh rates screens tend to have poorer battery performance. Assuming this is what realme is referring to, our guess is that the company has either managed to optimise the battery efficiency, will add a massive battery, or plan to pair it with a very high-end fast-charger. After all, realme is supposedly working on a 100W+ fast-charger.

To be honest, I hope it's the battery performance getting optimised, as that's a more permanent solution to the problem. Super fast-charging is great, but you may not always have the charger with you. Having said that, which do you think is the better solution? Let us know on our Facebook page and stay tuned to TechNave.com for more updates on this.

realme's attendance to IFA 2020 is confirmed

We are now in the month of September and the next thing to look forward to is some new technological announcements from IFA 2020. Held annually in Berlin, Germany, it will be realme's first time attending the event and their conference is on 4 September, 12.25-13.10 CEST (UTS+2).

If you're expecting them to reveal some new devices, well, that's usually not the case at IFA. In case you're not aware, IFA is the venue where tech brands would unveil their latest technologies such as the Internet of Things and 5G. In realme's case, it seems that the company is also heading to that direction with their trademark AIoT (Artificial Intelligence of Things) even though they haven't really embarked a true ecosystem with the like of Apple, Samsung and Huawei. So with that, we hope to see more of their original ecosystem blueprint for the future.

realme Malaysia has already released a bunch of smartphones over the past few months, so we think (and hope) that they would be taking a break from that until the next one which is realme 7 series that is launching soon in China.

As the poster image did not show any wired power cord, we assumed it to be a wireless rechargeable unit but it may also be powered by a wired input since it mentioned 24/7 protection. It will be either it will have a huge rechargeable battery that can last for 24 hours of usage or most probably a wired power source.

realme's next smartphone will sport a massive 6000mAh battery capacity

The recent smartphones are now equipped with at least a 4000mAh battery capacity and anything less than that will be considered as small and disappointing. In order to meet the market’s needs, realme will be coming out with a new smartphone that sports a monstrous 6000mAh battery soon.

According to the source, a realme smartphone with the product number BLP793  was spotted on TUV Rheinland’s database with the 6000mAh battery capacity. In fact, the massive 6000mAh battery capacity phone will be launching in Indonesia soon as the realme Indonesia’s Marketing Director posted the information on his Instagram. He stated that this will be the largest battery phone in realme’s portfolio.

Judging on its massive battery capacity, it would be a perfect fit for gaming smartphone series. But as it will launch in Indonesia first, it may be a mid-range smartphone as most flagships will often launch in China first. Furthermore, the Marketing DIrector’s post mentioned that this new smartphone will be coming in for an existing smartphone series, so it is expected to be the next realme 7 series.Either way, there is still no official confirmation on the tech specs and the release dates for the massive 6000mAh smartphone, so do take this with a pinch of salt. But are you excited about it? Let us know at our Facebook page and stay tuned for more tech news updates on TechNave.com.


realme's smart toothbrush for its AIoT lineup appeared on TUV Rheinland Listings!

Smartphone manufacturer does not just solely focusing on just producing smartphones anymore. First, we see Xiaomi started their own AI Home Appliances, then HUAWEI, now realme has no longer focus solely on smartphones but also join the game with its latest AIoT lineups. Today, realme’s latest smart toothbrush appeared on the TUV Rheinland listing for certification.

According to the listing, it has the model number of RMH2012 that confirms with the product name of realme M1 Sonic Electric Toothbrush which issued on yesterday 28 July. Besides that, it did not specify any other details and features of the product but looking at how realme’s AIoT products been presenting, we might get to see some interesting smart features coming along.

TUV Rheinland listings shows realme's smart toothbrush

By now, the realme M1 Sonic Electric toothbrush will be directly competing with the Xiaomi’s Mi toothbrush which both might have some similar features. The Mi Electric Toothbrush T100 features an auto timer, dual-pro brush modes, 30-days of battery life, fast charging, and much more. The main concept of the Mi Electric Toothbrush T100 is to add-in vibration while you are doing all the regular movements to get a better cleansing on your teeth. So let’s hope realme will come with some new smart features with its product.

In fact, realme is working on a few other smart products on their AIoT system as well such as the smart speakers, smart home accessories, and smartwatch. These AIoT products will be expected to be arriving on the Indian market first since the company’s core focus has always been on the Indian market and since its now appeared on the TUV Rheinland listings, it’s safe to say that the launch will be coming real soon.

realme said the GT Neo 5 SE will have 48 hours of battery life

As previously announced, the realme GT Neo 5 SE will be launching in China on 3 April 2023 with a Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 chipset. It will be the first phone to use that but that's not all, realme also claims that it can last up to 48 hours of usage.

On the Weibo forums, Chase Xu, realme Vice President posted that the realme GT Neo 5 SE is equipped with a SuperVOOC S power management chip. With a discharge efficiency of up to 99.5%, it means that it's non-destructive and can boost the 5500mAh battery to be used for up to 48 hours from a single charge.

Of course, the result may vary based on usage because we don't really think it can live that long if one was playing intense mobile games or recording a long video on it (unless we are proven wrong). Anyway, the realme GT Neo 5 SE also supports 100W fast charging technology as well as an AI power-saving engine. Well, we shall wait and see.

We won't have to wait that long until the realme GT Neo 5 SE gets unveiled in China. Until then, stay tuned for our official news coverage at TechNave.com.


realme set to unveil the C15 with 6000mAh battery next week

Just a few weeks ago, realme was teasing a new smartphone (again) and it would be sporting a massive 6000mAh battery. Knowing the trend of entry-level devices featuring big batteries, we were guessing that realme could release another one and it turns out to be the realme C15.

From the official teaser image, the realme C15 does indeed feature a 6000mAh battery and supports 18W charging only. We can also see a quad rear camera module in a box-shaped manner, alongside a traditional rear fingerprint sensor and a dew-drop notch for the front camera. It looks like there will be two colour options too which are blue and silver.

As for the rest of the tech specs, rumours have it that the device could use 3GB of RAM and 32GB storage, while the display might be 6-inches long. Since it's supporting 18W charging, there's a good chance that a USB port is hanging out at the bottom. Also, the C15 will launch in Indonesia first on 28 July 2020.

We don't think the realme C15 will make its way to the Malaysia market that soon since the C11 was recently released in June. But hey, anything can happen and knowing realme Malaysia, they sure love to launch their phones in a short period. Stay tuned for more trending tech news at TechNave.com.

With all that said, do take every bit of information with a grain of salt, due to the fact that realme has yet to provide an official statement on the leak. Not only that, but there’s also no news on the Malaysia release date, local pricing, and exact tech specs for now.

realme sub-brand Dizo will host first launch event on 1 July 2021

Once a sub-brand originating from OPPO, realme has now grown big enough to create its own sub-brand. Dizo was first spotted earlier this month, with a couple of its products certified by the FCC. Now the company has confirmed its official debut date.

In a Twitter post, Dizo has confirmed that it will host its first product launch on 1 July 2021. There isn't too much we know about the brand yet, but it's expected to have a larger focus on devices like smartwatches and wireless earbuds. In fact, it's rumoured that realme plans to market its AIoT products under the Dizo brand.

The announcement you've all been waiting for! Mark your calendars for the first DIZO product launch on July 1st.Tag to let your friends know and watch this space for more updates!#DIZO #realmeTechLife #BeDifferent pic.twitter.com/A1404yyaZI

For your information, these are rebranded versions of the realme Buds Air 2, realme Buds Q2, and realme Watch 2. But for its first official event, Dizo will probably show something new and not just a rebrand.

Of course, we can't confirm if that's the case, so you'll have to wait till 1 July 2021 for the launch. We'll be keeping an eye on the event, so make sure to stay tuned to TechNave for our launch report!


realme teases a new upcoming smartphone series

Yesterday night, realme posted a teaser photo on Weibo with a caption saying “the punch-hole will replace the pill-shaped front camera”. Furthermore, they also mentioned that the new upcoming smartphone series will support 5G connectivity.

From the teaser image, I think the punch-hole camera setup could make the screen look cleaner and simpler more than the pill-shaped camera. Besides that, the display could be bigger if realme plans to have just one front camera and that would be less distracting. At the same time, the company had just confirmed to attend the IFA Berlin 2020 and we think the upcoming smartphone series could launch at the event.

We believe realme will continue to post more teasers in the upcoming weeks. Would realme surprise us with new devices at an affordable price again? Let us know in the comments below and be sure to stay tuned for more tech news at TechNave.com.


Apple might eventually recall the iPad mini 6 due to screen issues

Remember Apple once said that the scrolling issue happening to the iPad mini 6 shouldn't be considered a problem? Well, here's something new for it to worry about. According to the source, the company could eventually recall the tablet due to screen issues.

Apparently, a user who went to the Apple Store to get a defective iPad mini 6 replaced found out from an Apple Retail employee that many customers complained about their iPad mini 6's screens having problems. Therefore, it shouldn't be a surprise if Apple decided to recall the iPad mini 6 at this point. Of course, the employee's reaction doesn't reflect how the company will act since it would be a big task.

Users have posted videos to show a "screen clearance" issue that seems to be found on many iPad mini 6. Some even conducted tests on the tablet to prove a manufacturing defect. To be more specific, users complain about image distortion and discolouration when they touch the display in portrait orientation. Furthermore, the issue also gets obvious when it's in dark mode.

Are you planning to get an iPad mini 6? Leave a comment to let us know and tell us how you feel after seeing this news. Stay tuned to TechNave.com for more tech reports.


realme to announce a partnership with a reputable camera brand

Camera performance is probably one of the things that people look into first before getting new smartphones. Not only the smartphone manufacturers are trying their best to come out with cameras that are good enough to compete with others, but they are also working with big camera brands to bring more reliability to their devices. Now, it is rumoured that realme could be announcing a partnership with a reputable camera maker soon.

Back then, HUAWEI had Leica make its cameras for the flagship devices until the US trade ban ruined the relationship. Nokia has also been trusting Zeiss for the camera technology, and the same optics began to be installed in vivo smartphones later. Recently, OnePlus has launched the OnePlus 9 series with Hasselblad cameras as well to improve performance in photography. Although Samsung has been depending on itself for the cameras, it's rumoured that the Korean company might work with Olympus for the Galaxy S22.

With all that said, realme might be attracted to work with one of the big brands as well, and Kodak is the guess. For now, it's still unknown as nothing has been made official. However, well-known tipster Digital Chat Station from Weibo claimed that realme will make the announcement during the launch of the upcoming realme GT Master Edition.

Let us know what you think about the news on our Facebook page. Stay tuned to TechNave.com for more smartphone reports.

After launching the Narzo 50 back in March, realme is finally ready to introduce the 5G version next week. realme India's Twitter account has announced that the realme Narzo 50 5G series will arrive on 18 May. Judging by the word 'series', we expect the Narzo 50 Pro 5G to make an appearance too.

Based on the teaser poster, the series will pack the MediaTek Dimensity 920 chip, but not sure if it will be the same for vanilla and Pro variants. The poster also hints at a five-layer cooling for better heat dissipation alongside a self-claimed 9% increase in gaming performance.

Since the 4G version of Narzo 50 made its debut in Malaysia, the upcoming devices should get here too. The Narzo 50 4G's retail price started at RM699, so the 5G variant should be higher than this for a couple of hundred bucks.

realme to launch new phones with Snapdragon 778 and 870 chipsets on 18 June 2021

As for the new Snapdragon 778 and Snapdragon 870-powered devices, Digital Chat Station claims that it will be revealed on 18 June 2021.

No details have been confirmed yet, so we don't know if the two models are variants of the same series or different products. On top of that, there's no news on what other specs it would have. But since the Snapdragon 778 is a mid-range chipset, it should at least have 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. As for the cameras, we expect to see a 64MP triple-camera setup at the back and a 16MP front camera. That's more or less what you can expect from mid-range devices these days.

Of course, we're just guessing here, so do take this news with a grain of salt. realme has a lot of smartphone options, but would it be unique enough to stand out? Let us know what you'd like to see from new mid-range devices in the comments! Also, stay tuned to TechNave for more news like this.


realme to launch the GT2 Master Explorer Edition this 12 July 2022

Besides that, realme didn’t specify anything else regarding the upcoming successor to its popular GT Master Explorer Edition. However, based on the TENAA certification we mentioned earlier, the GT2 Master Explorer Edition will allegedly feature a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 Soc, a 6.7-inch 120Hz AMOLED display and a 50MP main + 50MP ultrawide + 2MP depth triple-camera setup.

Furthermore, the device’s screen is said to sport a punch-hole design to house the 16MP front-facing camera.

realme to release devices powered by the new Dimensity 1080 SoC later this year

Yesterday, we reported on MediaTek’s unveiling of its new mid-tier mobile chipset, the Dimensity 1080. Not long after the announcement by Mediatek, we’ve already gotten confirmation from realme VP Madhav Sheth that the SoC will be powering new realme devices by the end of the year.

Taking to his official Twitter account, Sheth teased that his company will be utilising the new Dimensity 1080 SoC on upcoming realme devices this year. However, he did not reveal any specific information, including what realme devices will get the new chipset or when will they be released.

Given that the SoC was just announced yesterday and there are less than 3 months left until we enter 2023, it’s safe to say that realme has been planning with MediaTek for quite some time to create a Dimensity 1080-powered device. In case you missed it, the new mid-tier chipset is based on the 6nm process and comes with an octa-core CPU comprising two Cortex-A78 cores clocked at up to 2.6GHz.

The chipset also provides sub-6GHz 5G and WiFi 6 connectivity, a Mali-G68 GPU and support for image processing from a 200MP camera. Sounds like a pretty capable mid-range chip and can’t wait for it to be utilised by realme and other manufacturers.
