  • DJI Mavic 4 Pro Leaks: Battery Upgrade and RTK Support Revealed

    DJI Mavic 4 Pro Leaks: Battery Upgrade and RTK Support Revealed

    It appears that DJI is filing for many new devices in the US as the legislative bodies there may soon ban sales. Recently, the company was seen registering the Flip with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the US.

    Mavic 4 Pro Spotted

    Now, several sources have noted that the Mavic 4 Pro has appeared in the FCC’s public database. For some context, hints of the regular Mavic 4 surfaced at the same regulatory agency just a month after the launch of the DJI Neo, which is currently priced at $199 on Amazon. Interestingly, the Mavic 4 Pro seems to have a slightly smaller battery compared to the Mavic 4, which is expected to be equipped with a 99.5 Wh (14.76V/6,471 mAh) battery.

    Battery Specifications

    In contrast, the FCC has disclosed that the Mavic 4 Pro comes with a 95.3 Wh (14.32 V/6,654 mAh) battery. It’s worth mentioning that DJI has developed L3A and L3B models, but the FCC states that these are "electrically identical" and have different names solely for marketing reasons. Sadly, the FCC does not share many other useful details about the Mavic 4 or how it will compare with the Mavic 4 or its earlier version.

    Additional Features and Insights

    Nevertheless, @OsitaLV has provided a few details, including that the Mavic 4 will include Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) support for enhanced location accuracy. The leaker also mentions that the Mavic 4 Cine Premium will come with a 2 TB built-in SSD. Additionally, all Mavic 4 models are expected to have a main camera that offers 14 stops of dynamic range and an "advanced dual controller," similar to what DJI includes with the Matric 30 series.

    Moreover, @OsitaLV asserts that Mavic 4 drones will be able to display a map alongside a flight-assist live image at the same time. Meanwhile, DJI’s upcoming flagship drone has also been seen in a recent test flight. Although the footage provides very little new information regarding the Mavic 4 series, it indicates that DJI’s next high-end drones are in an advanced development stage.

  • Honor X50 Tops iPhone 16 Pro Max in China’s Top 10 Smartphones

    Honor X50 Tops iPhone 16 Pro Max in China’s Top 10 Smartphones

    The Honor X50 has secured the third position in Canalys’ recent smartphone shipment report for the third quarter of 2024, capturing 2.8% of the overall Chinese market, surpassing the iPhone 16 Pro Max.

    Price Comparison

    Currently, the starting price of the iPhone is around seven times higher than that of the X50 in China, which may explain why consumers favored the Honor model in the latest rankings.

    Specifications and Features

    Moreover, the device, powered by the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1, has made its debut as the first smartphone boasting improved Honor Taichi durability. It has received an SGS-certified “five-star drop resistance rating” for its curved glass body, along with a 120Hz 1.5K AMOLED display.

    The X50 outperformed other high-end phones, such as the Redmi K70 Ultra, which is also sold as the Xiaomi 14T Pro on Amazon. The Redmi K70 Ultra landed in 7th place, only achieving a 2.3% market share in the latest report.

    Huawei and Other Competitors

    Huawei has been making significant efforts to regain its market share in China over the past years but only managed to have one entry in this latest top 10 list. The Pura 70, ranked #6, belongs to the company’s newer flagship series.

    In the 10th spot, Vivo’s Y37 made an appearance, while Oppo climbed to 4th place with its A3x, both of which are budget-friendly options.

    Market Leaders

    Ultimately, Apple maintained its lead with the iPhone 15 Pro Max, responsible for 3% of all smartphone shipments in China. The iPhone 15 Pro and the standard 15 held positions #8 and #9, while the 16 Pro rounded out the top 5 list.

  • Geekom Mini PC with Snapdragon X Elite Processor: First Look

    Geekom Mini PC with Snapdragon X Elite Processor: First Look

    Although the Snapdragon X series processors have been available for some time, they haven’t gained much traction in the mini PC market. Qualcomm did announce a model that was up for pre-order, but shortly after orders began, the company decided to cancel it. Since then, Qualcomm has remained largely silent on this front.

    New Developments with Geekom

    Recently, a leak from Weibo indicated that Geekom is working on a Snapdragon X Elite mini PC. This device is expected to be part of a new series called QS, but details on its internal components were sparse in that initial report. However, a subsequent leak from a Spanish site named El Chapuzas Informatico has provided more comprehensive information about the system’s specifications.

    Specifications and Features

    According to the latest leak, the Geekom QS1 Pro will be equipped with the Snapdragon X Elite X1E-80-100 processor. This high-end chip boasts 12 Oryon cores. Although one drawback of this processor is the lack of developer support, the X Elite series is known for its impressive power efficiency.

    The leak also indicates that the QS1 Pro will come with a maximum of 64 GB of RAM and a 2 TB PCIe Gen 4 SSD, specifically the 2 TB Samsung 990 Pro, which is currently priced at $159.99 on Amazon. Furthermore, it is expected to feature several ports, including three USB 3.2 Gen 2, one USB 4, one DisplayPort 1.4, and one HDMI 2.0.

    Pricing Insights

    While Geekom hasn’t officially unveiled the QS1 Pro yet, speculation suggests that this Snapdragon X Elite mini PC could be priced between €700 and €800. This pricing is similar to what laptops featuring the same processor typically cost. However, an AMD Strix Point mini PC might provide superior performance for a comparable price.

  • OnePlus Unveils Simple Solution for Green Line Display Issues

    OnePlus Unveils Simple Solution for Green Line Display Issues

    Green line problems are not a new thing for OnePlus, just like many other brands that have phones with AMOLED screens. However, it looks like OnePlus is taking a strong stance on this issue. The brand has just revealed a new “worry-free” solution, aiming to fix this display issue through three main steps, one of which focuses on providing “unmatched” display technology.

    Enhanced Display Technology

    OnePlus has stated that their AMOLED displays will now include an “Enhanced Bonding Layer.” According to the company, this layer utilizes PVX edge-sealing material, which serves as a protective barrier. This barrier is designed to reduce the amount of moisture and oxygen that can get through, ultimately improving the lifespan of the display.

    Rigorous Testing Procedures

    In addition to the new bonding layer, OnePlus is performing extensive quality tests on the AMOLED displays in its phones. They claim to conduct over 180 tests that mimic extreme real-world scenarios. This thorough process is intended to bring down the chances of green line problems to “an industry low.”

    Lifetime Warranty for Display Issues

    Finally, OnePlus has shared that it will provide a lifetime warranty on all of its smartphones, including older models, for any green line problems. This means that even if your phone is no longer under the standard warranty, you can still get a display replacement if you experience green lines on your screen.

    It’s important to mention that this isn’t the first time OnePlus has dealt with green line issues. Previously, the company provided discount vouchers to certain users in India who experienced this problem. However, if OnePlus follows through on its latest promise, users may very well enjoy a “worry-free” experience in this area.
