It has the same style camera angles, it’s a multiplayer battleground game, but that’s really where the similarities end. There are no top, mid, and bottom lanes. No large rosters of champions with their own unique skills. Players instead are ported into a larger open battleground and damage is dealt through a collection of different guns....
The image that we have attached below was posted on the Chinese microblogging platform Weibo by Chen Jin, the general manager of the Lenovo Mobile Group in China (Lenovo owns the Motorola smartphone brand). It appears fairly vibrant with plenty of details. However, since the photo was uploaded to a public platform, the quality may have been reduced due to compression. So we can’t draw a fair conclusion regarding the actual picture quality that the Motorola X30 Pro will offer....

But, Facebook is still offering its Live Audio Rooms While Facebook is exiting the podcasting market, it’s not exiting the live audio market....
FCC recently certified an upcoming OnePlus smartphone with the model number CPH2469. But it isn’t a new device. Instead, it’s a rebrand of an existing OPPO phone identified by the model number CPH2387.

Future may bring us one second 0-100% smartphone charging We are at a point where we can charge our smartphone in only 15 minutes.

That device can also charge up to 50% in only 5 minutes. A couple of years ago such numbers looked out of reach....
The October SMR (Security Maintenance Release) for the Galaxy Note 10 Lite in Europe is rolling out with firmware version N770FXXS8GVI2.

The latest SMR contains patches for over 50 privacy and security issues on Galaxy smartphones and tablets....

The Galaxy S22 Ultra renders appear in four color, along with the phone’s specs If you take a look at the gallery below the article, you’ll see the device in black, white, pink, and green color options.

The Galaxy S22 Ultra (SM-S908B) has surfaced on Geekbench running on a chipset identified as s5e9925, which is reportedly the upcoming Exynos 2200. The octa-core processor has three CPU cores operating at 2.52GHz, one at 2.50GHz, and four at 1.73GHz.

According to noted tipster Ice Universe, the Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23+ will be “only available” in an 8GB RAM option. The source claims the information is “100 percent” accurate (via).
