    Honor 100 GT Design and RAM/Storage Leaks Revealed

    Honor is gearing up to repeat its success from 2023 by using the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip again for its upcoming performance smartphone, the 90 GT. There are rumors that they will do the same with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, expected to launch in late 2024 or early 2025.

    Anticipated Features of the New Device

    The new device might be named the “100 GT” or just “Honor GT,” as suggested by the famous leaker Digital Chat Station. This source also claims that the phone will feature the distinctive dual rear camera design from the 100 series, but without the unusual double surrounds seen in previous models.

    Camera and Battery Specs

    In terms of design, the next GT is expected to sport a sleeker, more angular camera bump that will include at least one “50MP OIS” lens. Additionally, the smartphone might house a larger 100W battery within a flat-edged body, and offer options for RAM between 12GB and 16GB, with internal storage choices of 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB.

    However, the “Honor GT” could also come with certain limitations that point to its sub-premium status. The frame is rumored to be made of plastic instead of metal, and while it will likely feature a flat 1.5K display with an upgraded ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, it’s said to utilize LTPS technology rather than the more advanced LTPO tech.

    OnePlus 13R Shines in Leaked Pre-Launch Gaming Test Results

    The OnePlus Ace 5 might not be able to match the speedy charging of its rumored Pro version, which is expected to launch soon in China. Nevertheless, it appears to be quite competitive in power efficiency and thermal stability during gaming, as reported by the reliable leaker Digital Chat Station.

    Performance Insights

    According to the tipster who claims to have tested the device firsthand, the Ace 5 achieved impressive average frame rates of 119.5 fps in Honor of Kings. However, these numbers dropped to 60.2 fps and 55.2 fps in Genshin Impact and Honkai Star Rail, respectively. Despite this, the Ace 5’s performance is still seen as much better than that of other devices sporting the same processor.

    Power Efficiency

    The power efficiency of the Ace 5 has been noted, with figures of 5.7W in Genshin Impact, 4.8W in Honkai Star Rail, and a lower 3.38W in Honor of Kings. This efficiency is considered "far ahead" of competing devices that share similar specifications.

    The testing setup included a flat 1.5K X2 LTPO display, 16GB of RAM, 512GB of internal storage, and the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset. This version of the chipset is said to be quite different from the "ordinary" variant found in other Android phones like the OnePlus 12.

    Chipset Modifications

    Recent leaks suggest that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in the Ace 5 is fairly standard. However, it features "magically modified" enhancements that include "chip-level gaming technology," according to Digital Chat Station. These modifications help the Ace 5 get closer to the Snapdragon 8 Elite in terms of thermal management and power efficiency during testing.

    This could be promising news for the OnePlus 13R, especially if it launches alongside the global version of the OnePlus 13, as current rumors suggest.

  • iQOO Neo 10R Launch in India Expected Soon

    iQOO Neo 10R Launch in India Expected Soon

    After debuting the iQOO 13 in China back in November, iQOO is set to launch its first device in India on December 3rd. Shortly thereafter, there may be another device entering the market. Well-known tipster Abhishek Yadav has suggested that iQOO is gearing up to release the iQOO Neo 10R in India.

    A First for iQOO in India

    If this information is accurate, it would mark the first time iQOO releases a phone with the “R” designation in India. According to Yadav, the Neo 10R is expected to have three storage options: 8GB RAM with either 128GB or 256GB of storage, and 12GB RAM with 256GB of storage.

    More Specs to Come

    While further specifics about the device’s hardware are still unknown, insights from iQOO’s past may offer some hints. For example, the iQOO Neo 9 Pro was simply a rebranded version of the Neo 9 that was available in China. If iQOO sticks to this strategy, the Neo 10R could just be a modified version of the Neo 10 designed for the Indian audience.

    Features of the Neo 10 Series

    On another note, iQOO has already rolled out the Neo 10 series in China. This series features a sleek flat design, similar to last year’s Neo 9 lineup, but with thinner bezels that are just 1.4mm wide. Even though the frame is still made of plastic, the camera setup has received a design update, and there’s a vegan leather variant that adds some freshness to the series.

    Both the Neo 10 and Neo 10 Pro come equipped with a sizeable 6.78-inch 1.5K+ 144Hz LTPO display. It can reach peak brightness levels of up to 1800 nits globally and 4500 nits locally, which is a big step up from the Neo 9’s 1400 nits.

    Performance and Camera Capabilities

    Inside, the Neo 10 is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, while the Neo 10 Pro is equipped with the Dimensity 9400 chipset. Both models feature a Q2 gaming chip inherited from the upcoming iQOO 13 and a 6400mm² VC cooling system to maintain performance during high-energy gaming sessions.

    In terms of photography, both Neo 10 and Neo 10 Pro utilize the Sony IMX921 main sensor. However, the Pro version takes it further with a 50MP ultrawide camera, compared to the standard model’s 8MP.

    Lastly, both phones are backed by a hefty 6100mAh battery and support 120W fast charging, including compatibility with the 100W PPS protocol, which guarantees a 50% charge in just 15 minutes.
