The Samsung Galaxy A5x has been one of the best-selling smartphone series in the mid-range segment. Due to this, a new version of the smartphone series is launched every year with upgraded specs. It is why Samsung is preparing itself to release the new series of A5x smartphones in 2022 as well. One of the most anticipated among those is the upcoming Samsung Galaxy A53 5G. The smartphone will not only come with better and upgraded specifications but also with 5G connectivity.

Many render images and prototypes for the same have already leaked since last year and it has also been spotted on the benchmark website as well. As per the new details, it has been found that the smartphone will come with a 15W unit charger that will be certified by 3C. It might be some sort of disappointment from Samsung as users will still not have the proper fast charging experience with the smartphone. Samsung Galaxy A52 series that was launched last year had support for 25W fast charging but only came with a 15W fast charger in the box.

It was expected that Samsung might include a 25W fast charger in the box, but it seems that we will have to wait until next year for that. The Samsung Galaxy A53 5G is expected to come with specs like a 120Hz AMOLED display, which comes with FHD+ resolution including an in-display fingerprint reader. It will also include a quad-camera setup with 6GB of RAM and is powered by Exynos 1200 SoC. The phone will also run on the Android 12 operating system out of the box.

Apple iPhone 14 is going to be launched in September this year and a lot of details related to it have already been leaked online. One of the leaks hinted that the new iPhone 14 will come with a ProMotion Display and will also have support for a 120Hz refresh rate. However, as per the latest update, the 120Hz refresh rate and ProMotion display might only be reserved for iPhone 14 Pro variants while the regular iPhone 14 and 14 Max would only get a 60Hz refresh rate.

Now we already know that the company is going to ditch the mini variant this year and is going to launch four variants which are iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Max, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max. It was expected that the new series would have a big update in terms of display for all variants, but the new reports claim otherwise. As per the details, Apple is getting their display panel from Chinese company BOE and they are currently incapable of supplying OLED display panels with varying refresh rates.

Due to this, it was estimated that Apple might not upgrade the base variants of the iPhone 14 series and would only apply it to the Pro variants. The same is the case with the latest iPhone 13 series which only has a 120Hz refresh rate in the Pro and Pro Max variant. It is also expected that Apple might get rid of the big notch they have in the iPhone for the iPhone 14 series and have an in-screen FaceID sensor

WhatsApp is regularly working on new tools and features which makes it one of the best messaging platforms on smartphones. News about new features on WhatsApp comes out regularly where they are trying to provide the user with new experiences. The latest report claims yet another feature that the company is working on and this time it’s drawing tools and images and videos. As per the details, the latest beta version of WhatsApp on Android has two new drawing pencils and an in-built image editor as well.

The new tool would allow the users to create lines on images and videos. The feature in beta currently offers a change of color for pencils with a default thickness. The other feature is an in-built image editor which will allow the users to send images after editing them in the app itself. These features are surely going to be a great addition to the app when compared to the other competitors in the same segment which do not have a similar feature.

If the feature works well in the beta stage, we can expect it to launch in the final version of the app in a couple of months. However, the launch of the feature is still far away and we will surely see many other features in the beta version of their app till that time. If you are using the latest beta version of WhatsApp, you will be able to see and use the latest features. However, it is always recommended to backup your data before using the beta version of the app.

One of the most dominant companies in the mobile chipset segment is Qualcomm and Mediatek. However, companies like Samsung have been using their own Exynos series of chipsets in their smartphone which provides equally powerful performance. It is why Samsung flagship smartphones are equipped with Exynos chipset in many countries. As per the latest announcement by Samsung, they have recently launched their new mobile chipset named Exynos 2200. The chipset comes with a powerful AMD RDNA 2 architecture-based Samsung Xclipse GPU.

As per the company, the chipset is going to provide the best gaming experience on a smartphone and will also increase the overall experience on social media and photography apps. The chipset is based on the latest Arm-based CPU cores with a 4nm EUV (extreme ultraviolet lithography) process. Samsung also claims that with the new Eclipse technology, along with RDNA 2 graphics technology from AMD the graphics and AI performance will increase many times fold, when compared to the mobile chipset available in the industry right now. The Eclipse GPU is a unique hybrid processor that has been positioned between a console and a mobile graphic processer. It is why, the overall GPU performance is much higher and as per Samsung, will mark the new era of mobile gaming.

One of the impressive features that it will use is Ray tracing which simulates how light physically behaves in the real world. It will not only provide immense graphics on mobile but will also enhance the in-game experience. The Exynos 2200 chipset has been designed in a tri-cluster structure with one Arm Cortex®-X2 flagship-core, three performance and efficiency balanced Cortex-A710 big-cores, and four power-efficient Cortex-A510 little-cores. It would also have support for 8K resolution and 144Hz refresh rate support for displays. The chipset is currently in mass production and will soon be seen in flagship smartphones of Samsung.

Apple has been working on the new iPhone SE 3 for a long time and there have been a lot of leaks since last year which gives us a good idea of the features that it will come with. Now, as per the new information, the smartphone will be named as iPhone SE+5G. As the name suggests, the smartphone will be equipped with 5G connectivity, which was lacking in the previous versions. The smartphone will be launched by Apple in spring and will come with a new design as well.

It is not the only iPhone SE that the company will be launching, as Apple is expected to launch a new version of the SE smartphone next year as well. For now, the smartphone will come with a 4.7-inch screen to maintain the small form factor and will have a better physical design adopted from the latest iPhone flagship. However, the company is expected to provide a better and bigger 5.7-inch screen in the iPhone SE smartphone that will be launched next year.

Also, there are speculations that we might see the removal of that big notch on the SE variant and it might come with a smaller notch as in the latest iPhone. The next year iPhone SE might also come with an upgrade to the display as the company can use an OLED screen. It would be right to say that the new iPhone SE is going to take a lot of features from the previous and new generation iPhone equally and would provide a balanced performance in a compact form factor.
