Oppo Find X5 Pro gets flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor
Oppo’s flagship Find X3 Pro was released in March 2021 to great reviews. Now, the next device rumored to be the Oppo Find X5 Pro is expected to release this March. Sources have suggested that it will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor, which is Snapdragon’s most powerful processor yet.
Interestingly, it seems likely that there will be no Oppo Find X4 Pro as the number 4 is not considered to be lucky in Chinese. The number is considered to be nearly homophonous to the word “death” in Cantonese. The details of the upcoming handset were leaked by Digital Chat Station and Abhishek Yadav, two well-known tipsters in the digital arena. Meanwhile, a tipster called OnLeaks, shared the first photos of the phone below.

Google’s foldable could be relatively cheap, and called the Pixel Notepad
We’ve got more leaks to report around the upcoming (yet unconfirmed) Google Pixel Fold, the first foldable phone from Google: apparently the device is going to be called the Pixel Notepad, and will come in at a lower price point than some of the premium folding phones already on the market.
This is according to sources in contact with 9to5Google, who say that Notepad is a “working brand name” for whatever the device ends up being. Another name that was being considered was Logbook, it seems.
9to5Google goes on to qualify the leak by saying that “plans can always change before the product announcement”, so the Pixel Notepad might not end up being the final name used. In recent years Google has kept the naming strategy simple with its smartphones, leading up to last year’s Google Pixel 6 and Google Pixel 6 Pro.

Interestingly enough, that puts it one place above the iPhone 13, 13 mini and 12 Pro Max.

Apple VR/AR headset reportedly overheating, June announcement could be nixed for 2023 debut
Turns out 2022 may not be the year of Apple’s VR/AR headset after all. Bloomberg reports that Apple is facing multiple hardware and software challenges that could delay the debut until 2023.
According to the latest report, Apple is working against issues with the headset overheating as well as camera and software challenges – the state of development is said to risk the headset announcement from happening this June as internally planned. If these issues aren’t overcome quickly, Apple is expected to push back the reveal until 2023.

Google’s critical Pixel 6 January update is here
Google is in the process of releasing a much-anticipated update for Pixel 6 phones. Earlier today, Android expert Mishaal Rahman noted that Google posted OTA and factory images to its developer site for the January 2022 patch. That means anyone can sideload the update to their Pixel 6 or Pixel 6 Pro now, and the official over-the-air update has already arrived on some devices .
This patch includes numerous bug fixes and a few new features that Pixel 6 owners have been anxiously awaiting. It’s supposed to tweak the fingerprint sensor, camera, and support 23W wireless charging with the second-generation Pixel Stand. On the Pixel 6 Pro, you can use its ultra-wideband chip for digital car key access to compatible BMWs. This update also adds the “Quick Tap to Snap” integration that Google and Snapchat touted during the devices’ launch event and new bass controls for the Pixel Buds A-Series.

Whatsapp iOS beta brings update for message reactions
WhatsApp has introduced one of its first major changes in the new year. The company is currently beta-testing notifications for message reactions, as per WABetaInfo, an independent online portal that shares news on WhatsApp updates.
The latest update appears in the newest beta (version 22.2.72) on iOS. A new “reactions notifications” option has appeared under WhatsApp’s notifications settings. Users can either enable or disable these reactions in their notifications. Since it is visible to iOS beta users, it could arrive to the main version sometime soon if it is met with positive reactions. However, users will not be able to react to messages yet, though that change could be made available sometime in the near future.

Wild rumor claims the iPad Pro could get a glass Apple logo with MagSafe
After the M1 revamp last year, we weren’t expecting much for the next iPad Pro—M2 chip, larger battery, better camera—but a new report could prove us wrong.
9to5Mac reports that while Apple has dropped its ambitious plans for a full glass back for the iPad Pro due to fragility concerns, it does hope to bring MagSafe to the device. How? But fitting a magnetic glass Apple logo within the aluminum frame.
The publication says power would be transmitted through the glass logo, which has “stronger magnets to prevent accidents, and it supports charges at faster speeds than MagSafe for iPhone.”

Google’s Pichai, Meta’s Zuckerberg Backed Alleged Ad Price-Fixing Scheme, Unsealed Court Docs Claim
When Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton first spearheaded a blockbuster multistate antitrust case against Google towards the end of 2020, it included some (heavily redacted) allegations of a secret agreement with Facebook that let the duo squash fellow competitors in the advertising space and lord over the lion’s share of digital ad spending to this day. Now, some details about that deal are finally open to the public: new court filings from the suit that were unsealed on Friday allege that the deal, dubbed “Jedi Blue,” gave Facebook an illegal leg-up in Google’s ad auctions in exchange for Facebook’s word that it would back down from its own ad plans. Further, it claims that the top executives at both companies signed off on the deal.
