Xiaomi has been known to provide some of the best value-for-money smartphones in the global market. Apart from that, the company has been trying to research features like camera and battery to make sure that they are providing some very unique features to the customers. Xiaomi was the first company in the market to launch the smartphone with a 108MP camera and since then the 108MP sensor could be seen in a lot of new smartphones that have been launched this year. 

Till now, it is one of the best available camera sensors in the market, but now the company is trying to go further and provide a better camera sensor than this. As per the leaks and tips from the Digital Chat Station account on Weibo, the company is working on a new smartphone that will come with a 200MP camera sensor. It is also expected that the phone will be running on the new Snapdragon 888 chipset and will be one of the flagship smartphones that will be launched in the year 2022. 

There was also hype about a new 4nm architecture-based chipset for the new Xiaomi smartphone. The new smartphone is also expected to come with a curved screen on both sides and will have a great camera feature as well. A 200MP camera sensor on the back is surely going to be a great premium flagship feature, something which does not seem to come from any other smartphone brand in the near future.

Mediatek is one of the most popular chipsets among smartphone companies when they are looking for low-cost manufacturing. After the company launched the Dimensity chipset range, which also provided a 5G feature to the smartphone, a huge demand for the same was seen in the 5G smartphones that were launched in 2021. Now the company has launched the Dimensity 1200 range of chipset under the 5G Open Resource Architecture, which allows the smartphone manufacturers to completely customize the smartphone features as per the requirement from different smartphone segments. 

The new series of chipsets based on 5G Open Resource Architecture has started to ship as soon as July month started and will now be part of every smartphone that will be released in the future with Dimensity chipset. The new architecture allows the smartphone companies to drop the default firmware from Mediatek and customize all the elements to what they require. Different elements of the smartphone-like camera, graphics, APU, sensors, etc can now be customized and tweaked with the latest architecture.

Apple has recently made a lot of new changes to their product lineup, be it the iPhones, Macs, or Macbooks. The company is changing the hardware and design elements, mostly to the sharp edge design of the iPhone 12 series. It seems that the next big change that we could see from Apple would be in the iPad series. The iPad has been one of the most successful products from the company but till now, they have kept them to limited screen size, so that they can easily fit in the tablet category. 

However, it seems like the company is now planning to make an iPad with 14 and 16 inches of screen size. It has not started yet, but the idea is currently being circulated in Apple and we could soon see an initialization on this design. The information from Gurman and engineers from Apple confirm that they are thinking about the possibility of introducing a much larger iPad, but it can take years before it could finally take shape. 

The company is currently working on a new design for the new iPad Pros, which will be introduced next year. It will most probably have the same design elements as the iPhone 12 series and the new Macs. For now, we would see a 12.9-inch iPad Pro model next year and the company will also be using the 14 and 16-inch screen sizes on the new Macbooks. The only issue that the company has been facing for now is the lack of supply for large screens, which can lead to a delay in the finalization of the larger iPad pro.

This year, Apple is going to launch the all-new iPhone 13, and this time, we can expect a big change in the camera sensor for the smartphone. iPhone 12 series did not see a major upgrade in terms of the camera when compared to iPhone 11. However, iPhone 13 will have a major upgrade, especially with the ultra-wide-angle sensor.

It might be a possibility that Apple changes the fixed focus on the camera with autofocus. The changes in the camera and the upgrade will be available in the Pro version of the iPhone 13 series. Due to this, the users will be able to adjust the lens to focus while using the camera. The changes in the camera hardware are going to change the image quality and will bring sharper results. It will make sure that the iPhone takes a lead in the camera segment which is currently ruled by Samsung.

Apart from this, Apple is also going to make changes to the regular iPhone models and their camera setup. The camera sensor will also have a much better performance in low light conditions and Apple has already started the shipment of the required hardware for the new camera upgrades. With iPhone 13, Apple could also be launching an iPhone 12S which will be an improved version of the iPhone 12 and will come with a new processor altogether. We can expect the new iPhone to launch by the end of September or early October.

The launch was supposed to happen in the month of June and now has been delayed a month ahead of the schedule. The reason behind the delay was that a few things about the product were still left to be finalized. 

There is not much information about the earbuds for now, but things that are confirmed about it are the stripped-down aesthetic design of the earphones and the transparent body design which allows the users to see the inside of the earbuds. The products have also been made in collaboration with Teenage Engineering. Carl Pei has already confirmed that these earbuds are the first product category that they are going to explore. However, they will further launch more products in the future in different segments. 

The ultimate vision of Carl Pei is to build an ecosystem of multiple devices where different types of devices are connected with each other in the Nothing ecosystem. So for now, the company is trying to create more and more products in different categories and it might not be long when Carl Pei decides to launch a OnePlus rival smartphone in the market. It is expected that that will soon be a reality and in the meanwhile, we can also expect a lot of consumer products to be launched by them.
