Poco X6, X6 Pro key processor details revealed ahead of January 11 launch in India; here’s all you need to know - The Financial Express

Poco, a Xiaomi spin-off brand, is holding two sets of launch events simultaneously on January 11. Globally, it is set to unveil three new smartphones: Poco X6, Poco X6 Pro, and Poco M6 Pro. Only the first two— the X6 and X6 Pro— have been confirmed to launch in India on the same day. They are largely expected to be rebranded Redmis, but powerful ones and so, it goes without saying they pack immense potential. Especially the Poco X6 Pro.

The X6 Pro has been confirmed to launch with the MediaTek Dimensity 8300-Ultra, officially marking the processor’s debut in India. Poco’s global wing has meanwhile spilled the beans on the vanilla version announcing separately that it will come powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 chip. If you’ve been following these things and have an eye for detail, connecting the dots would lead you to the conclusion: the X6 Pro could end up being a rebadged Redmi K70E while the X6 could be based on the Redmi Note 13 Pro.

In which case, while the X6 Pro would stand its own ground with a firm footing and eventually, become great value, the X6 could be a tough sell given that the Redmi Note 13 Pro is launching in India first, on January 4. Now, Poco phones usually cost less owing to the fact they are sold primarily online and so, the only saving grace could be its more affordable pricing. But we digress. All this is pure speculation for now, so we’ll just have to wait and watch out on how things pan out for the Poco X6 series.

Poco has been on a launch spree lately launching the Poco C65 and M6 5G in quick succession, but they are budget-centric phones. The X-series is a more premium midrange affair that allows Poco some room to experiment with specs. Mostly these phones are performance-oriented giving buyers access to powerful chips at relatively mainstream prices. Something similar would be expected from the Poco X6 series as well. Stay tuned for more.

Apple Vision Pro Likely To Launch On January 27 In US; Check Price, Specs And More - Jagran English

Apple Vision Pro headset, last year’s event highlight, may soon be available in the United States. This follows a report citing supply chain reports that Apple may release the headset on January 27. The new update also aligns with Mark Gurman's report, which stated that the company is ramping up production and may release the headset soon.

Apple Vision Pro Production Details:

According to reports, Sony is the primary supplier for the Vision Pro, with expertise in screen technology. Another unnamed Chinese company is also supplying the company with technology to increase production capacity if the product is in high demand.

The OLED screen in the Apple Vision Pro is equipped with the Colour Filter (CF) + WOLED scheme, which creates colour by passing white light through an RGB colour filter. This results in excellent visual quality with excellent precision, vibrant colours, and overall screen quality.

In addition, the company appears to be planning to release an improved Vision Pro headset by the end of 2027, possibly with RGB OLEDoS technology for increased brightness over the WOLED+CF model. By producing light and colour directly from RGB sub-pixels, RGB OLEDoS reduces the need for colour filters and increases the brightness of the display.

Meanwhile, Ming-Chi Kuo, an analyst at Tianfeng International, has said that the company is planning to ship over 500,000 units this year. He also stated that Vision Pro could be the next star product in the consumer electronics segment and will set a new standard for high-end tech products. For those unaware, the Apple Vision Pro price starts at $3,499.

Samsung Galaxy S24 Series Pre-Order Details Leak Out; Galaxy S24+ Spotted on Walmart Listing - Gadgets 360

Samsung Galaxy S24 series is expected to be unveiled on January 17 and past rumours have already given us a fair idea of what to expect from the new flagship phones. The most recent leaks suggest video recording upgrades on the Samsung Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24+, and Galaxy S24 Ultra along with some pre-order perks. The regular models are also tipped to be priced lower than their predecessors. The Galaxy S24 Ultra, in contrast, could see a price jump across all three storage variants. Meanwhile, Walmart accidentally listed the Galaxy S24+ on its online website, whereas Samsung retailers in Brazil have also started teasing the phone ahead of the debut.

On X (formerly Twitter), Tipster Ice Universe (@UniverseIce) posted that Samsung's flagship Galaxy S24 phones will be priced slightly lower than expected. He claimed that Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24+ stock is large this time as the company is optimistic about the upcoming phones. Further, the Galaxy S24 series is said to offer the ability to view HDR photos.

In a separate post, he hinted that the the Galaxy S24 Ultra will be able to record footage at 4K 120 frames per second (fps). The current Galaxy S23 Ultra supports 8K and 4K video recording. However, the 8K videos are capped at 30fps and the 4K videos are capped at 60fps.

Additionally, a post by the South Korean blog Naver says Samsung will provide pre-order bonuses for early buyers of Galaxy S24 Ultra. Like previous times, early adopters could receive higher storage variants of the phone at no extra cost. Additional pre-order bonuses are said to include discount coupons for the Galaxy Watch or Galaxy Buds FE.

Meanwhile, Walmart has accidentally listed the Samsung Galaxy S24+ ahead of the rumoured January 17 debut. The listing shows the handset in an onyx black shade with 12GB of RAM. The screenshot of the e-commerce listing shared by PhoneArena reveals AI-powered features of the handset — Live Translate, Generative Edit, and Nightography Zoom.

The Walmart listing suggests a 6.7-inch display for the Galaxy S24+. This is an upgrade over the 6.6-inch screen on the Galaxy S23+. It is seen with a 4,900mAh battery.

Furthermore, tipster CID (@theonecid) on X claimed that Samsung retailers in Brazil had started posting promotional posters of the Galaxy S24 Ultra ahead of the announcement. A leaked poster shows a quad rear camera unit and a colour-matched S Pen.

The rumoured launch date of Galaxy S24 lineup is two weeks away, so we can expect to hear more about the flagships in the coming days. In the meantime, you can check our coverage here.
