Google Pixel 7 Prototype Appears On eBay Giving Us A Good Look At Its Design

For whatever reason, Google is notoriously bad at keeping its unreleased products behind the curtain. The latest example of this is the listing of a Pixel 7 prototype on eBay (via Mishaal Rahman). The phone with model number GVU6C and 128GB storage was apparently on sale which has now ended. Now even though we can’t tell how legit this listing is, the alleged live photos of the Pixel 7 that has come out of it are eye-catching nonetheless.

Google Pixel 7 Design, Specs, and Features

Google Pixel 7 Pro reflection on the back of Pixel 7 prototype.

Google is continuing the prominent camera bar on the back of the phones. This time, it is said to be made of aluminium. The Pixel 7 Pro has got a pill-plus-circle cutout whilst the regular Pixel 7 has just got the Pill. This could be because of the difference in camera sensors within both devices.

The front of the Pixel 7 appears to have a central punch-hole cutout for the selfie camera. The standard Pixel 7 is expected to come with a 90Hz FHD+ panel whereas the Pro could sport a 120Hz 2K panel with an inherent upscaling solution.

Both of these panels could be made by Samsung Displays.

As already teased, the new Pixels will come with an upgraded Google Tensor SoC, Android 13, and various colour options, among other things.

The next generation of Pixel phones is on the horizon. Here’s a first look at the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro — equipped with a new generation of Google Tensor and a sleek design. Coming this fall. #GoogleIO pic.twitter.com/WMysJv1lZP

Jio Game Controller and JioFi Postpaid Plans With Free Routers Launched In India

Reliance has released a new wireless game controller for Jio’s set-top box (STB) and other Android devices. It comes with 20 buttons plus 2 sticks design and works within a 10-meter radius for about 8 hours. Well, that’s not the only new thing on the Jio Store, as the brand has recently unveiled new postpaid plans for its WiFi hotspot router called JioFi. Well, along with the purchase of these plans, you also get free hotspot routers, but there’s a catch. Let’s see what that is.

JioFi Postpaid Plans: What’s new?

The newly announced JioFi plans are priced at ₹249, ₹299, and ₹349. They come without voice calling or messaging benefits. The data included them are as follows:

Rs 249 - 30GB of monthly data Rs 299 - 40GB of monthly data Rs 349 - 50GB of monthly data

Once the aforementioned data limits are used up, the speed falls down to 64 Kbps.

Note that all of them come with a lock-in period of 18 months which means whether you use the data or not, you will be charged the same amount each month for 18 months. You can opt out but only after paying an exit charge.

Also, you need to make a minimum first order quantity of ₹200 to avail of these plans.

Coming to the free router offer, there's a condition that they are offered on a use and return basis when you cancel the JioFi postpaid subscription.

Jio Game Controller Specs, Features, and Price

Jio’s Bluetooth-enabled Game Controller has got 20 buttons plus 2 vibration-based triggers. There is haptic control too. It works over Bluetooth 4.1 and within a 10m distance. It is compatible with Android Tablets, Android TV, and Jio STB. The company’s own set-top box is what’s recommended for the best experience. 

It is rated to run for 8 hours. However, to charge it, you have to use its micro-USB port which can be a bummer for some. 

The thing weighs 200gm and comes in a matte black finish.

You can purchase the Jio controller for ₹3499 through the Jio store. EMI option is also available.

The iPhone 14 Pro Notch Teased In Apple Pay Ad

Apple is still some months away from launching the new iPhone 14 series and this time around we are expecting 4 iPhones, namely, the iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Max, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max. The two Pro models are said to flaunt a new look on the front, out of the quartet. The company could finally ditch the wide notch and instead employ a pill+hole-shaped cutout. This could be home to the selfie camera and the Face ID tech. Now although Apple hasn’t confirmed any of this, interestingly enough, the new design choice has made an appearance in a recent Apple Pay advert.

Who would’ve thought Apple would do such a thing. The iPhone maker is known to be deliberate in its marketing and which makes the new notch design highly likely. And this could be a refreshing change for new iPhone buyers this fall.

Apple iPhone 14 series Specs and Features (Expected)

This could be the year when Apple creates the biggest chasm between the regular and Pro model of iPhones. 

The difference between the two lineups will be evident right from the display itself. That is the new pill+hole camera notch will be reserved for the iPhone 14 Pro phones. The circular aperture could be where the Face ID dot projector sits, and the pill-shaped cutout will be used to house an improved front camera, Face ID infrared camera, other sensors, and microphone. This implementation is rumoured to cost more too which could reflect in the prices.

The 120Hz high-refresh-rate Pro-Motion feature could still be a Pro feature. The screen sizes could be 6.1-inches for the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro, while the Max variants could have a bigger 6.7-inches.

The rumour has it that there would be no iPhone 14 Mini, as the yields of the previous Minis were reportedly not that great.

A15 Bionic

The other exclusive features of the iPhone 14 Pro series could be a 48MP primary camera (with pixel-binned 12MP snaps for low-light settings), improved ultrawide and telephoto cameras, 8K video recording, and A16 Bionic SoC. Yes, the standard iPhone 14 and its Max sibling are said to borrow the A15 Bionic from its predecessors. Now, our guess would be that Apple would choose the 5-core GPU and 6GB RAM setup from the iPhone 13 Pro series.

But, only time will tell how much of these would prove true. So, we advise you to take them with a pinch of salt.

Infinix Note 12 Turbo Review: Dependable performance but a few misses

The Infinix Note 12 Turbo is a good phone for most users however, given its asking price of ₹14,999, there are certain issues that bring down the overall experience. The performance of the Note 12 Turbo is great, the camera takes good looking pictures and the battery life on offer is enough for most users. And while all of these features make it a great option for those looking for a phone under ₹15,000, Infinix doesn’t have anything extraordinary to disrupt this segment that’s largely dominated by Xiaomi, Realme and other brands. The Marvel Studios partnership is a missed opportunity since it only involves packaging changes, a few stickers and a TPU case but would have bolstered its uniqueness if Infinix was offering a customized theme and other functional changes.

The Infinix Note 12 Turbo is a budget phone priced right at the sweet spot of under Rs 15,000 and goes up against the likes of the Redmi Note 11, Realme 9i and more. Infinix has also partnered with Marvel Studios’ Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness for the Note 12 series but sadly this partnership is only limited to packaging changes, some stickers and a TPU case with a shoddily printed Tao mandala. On paper, Note 12 Turbo has a new design and an upgraded processor inside but most of the other features like the display and cameras are the same as the Note 11. In this review, we will find out whether or not the Infinix Note 12 Turbo is a good option at its asking price of ₹14,999.

Infinix Note 12 Turbo review: In The Box

In the Note 12 Turbo retail box, you’ll find a USB Type-C cable, a TPU case, a pre-applied protective screen guard, a SIM ejector pin, a quick start guide, and a warranty card.

Infinix Note 12 Turbo review: Performance

The Infinix Note 12 Turbo has the newer Helio G96 chipset over the G88 on Note 11 and it largely brings in performance improvements. When it comes to day to day performance, the Note 12 Turbo can run most apps with ease and I did not come across any issues with running basic apps like Whatsapp and Snapseed or games like COD Mobile and Asphalt 9. However, much of the performance chops are brought down by badly optimized and bloatware filled software in XOS 10.6 which is based on Android 12 and has a 60Hz refresh rate display.

When it comes to synthetic benchmarks, the Note 12 Turbo scored better on AnTuTu than the Redmi Note 11S which also has the same Helio G96 chipset, but the Micromax In Note 2 with Helio G96 got a marginally better score in comparison.

However, the Redmi Note 11S performed much better in Geekbench single-core and multi-core tests. The Note 12 Turbo aced the PCMark workload test which grades the phone in tasks like web browsing, photo editing and more.

In the CPU Throttling test, the Note 12 Turbo throttled to 75% of its maximum performance which is a decent score and proves that it is capable of offering an overall balanced performance. 

In GPU tests like 3DMark and GFXBench, the Note 12 Turbo’s performance is at par if not better than the Redmi Note 11S. We played games like Call of Duty Mobile and Asphalt 9 on the Note 12 Turbo where Gamebench recorded 58FPS on average at 100% stability in COD and 30FPS in Asphalt 9. COD was running at medium graphics and high frame rate and we didn’t notice any stutters or frame drops in our gaming experience.

The power button on the Note 12 Turbo doubles up as a fingerprint reader which is pretty quick and takes just a moment to unlock. The phone also has stereo speakers which are only decent for watching videos.

Overall, the Infinix Note 12 Turbo offers a solid performance but the highly customized XOS is cluttered and spoils the general experience. There’s a learning curve to this software which I find unnecessary and instead, Infinix should focus on delivering a great UI experience which is where MIUI or even stock Android takes the cake in fluidity and just the general day-to-day experience.

Infinix Note 12 Turbo review: Battery Life

On casual use, the 5,000mAh battery in the Note 12 Turbo can last you for a full day and then some. The battery life will only decrease if you are a heavy phone user who is constantly checking social media, making calls, and using WhatsApp and cameras.

The Note 12 Turbo supports 33W fast charging and on average it took 1 hour 58 minutes to fully charge it from 0-100% which is pretty decent given the large battery.

Infinix Note 12 Turbo Camera review

The cameras on the Note 12 Turbo remain largely unchanged from the Note 11. There’s a main 50MP camera with f/1.6 aperture which captures more light and details alongside a 2MP depth sensor and an AI lens.

In daylight, the main camera is capable of producing eye-pleasing and detailed pictures. The colours look balanced and the camera is able to bring out the textures perfectly. There is a 50MP mode which lets you capture a high-resolution picture which has even more details than normal. 

The portrait mode lends an artificial bokeh to the background which looks equally good as the natural depth of field effect. At night, the Note 12 Turbo manages decent pictures and the night mode improves it by bringing in more details and controlling the highlights. However, this lends a processed feel to the result. This is an area where the software really comes into play and Infinix needs to put in more effort here.

Apart from this, the camera app is loaded with features like filters, Pro mode, Super Night mode, short video mode and more. The rear camera can also record in upto 2K (1440p) at 30FPS which is pretty good at this price range. The camera on the Note 12 Turbo works nicely and while the ultra-wide camera isn’t present, there are ample modes for users to try out.

Infinix Note 12 Turbo review: Display

The Infinix Note 12 Turbo gets a large AMOLED display with a waterdrop notch cutout for the selfie camera. The display gets really bright and is great for daily use. While Infinix claims that the screen can go upto 1000 nits peak brightness, in our tests we measured 884 nits of peak brightness. The display has a slight blue tint which lends a cooler colour tone to all the elements and visuals and you can’t change colour profiles which is a bummer. It would also have been great if the display supported a faster 90Hz refresh rate but it’s a missed opportunity for Infinix that otherwise could have solidified its foothold.

Infinix Note 12 Turbo review: Build and Design

The Note 12 Turbo has a slim and lightweight profile measuring 8mm and 185 grams. It’s a budget phone so the build is mostly plastic but it feels good in the hand, especially the Force Black colour which has a textured design on the back. Though there’s a glossy part just beside the camera module that’s made to feel like an extension but is a fingerprint and smudge magnet that in my opinion spoils the looks. That aside, the Note 12 Turbo has flat edges which make for a comfortable feel and you also get a case in the box.

Infinix Note 12 Turbo review: Verdict

The Infinix Note 12 Turbo is a good phone for most users however, given its asking price of ₹14,999, there are certain issues that bring down the overall experience. For starters, I would have loved to see a higher refresh rate display which has become very common with likely a punch hole notch instead of the dated waterdrop notch and that would have boosted the visual experience my miles. Then, there’s a case of the XOS which comes pre-loaded with a lot of bloatware and unnecessary customizations that try to make it unique but end up breaking the experience.

Otherwise, the performance of the Note 12 Turbo is great, the camera takes good looking pictures and the battery life on offer is enough for most users. And while all of these features make it a great option for those looking for a phone under ₹15,000, it doesn’t have anything extraordinary to disrupt this segment that’s largely dominated by Xiaomi, Realme and other brands.
