Packed with Power to Supercharge Performance

The vanilla Reno 11 boasts a vibrant 6.7-inch OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate that promises silky-smooth transitions and an immersive visual experience. The Pro model takes it up a notch with a slightly larger 6.74-inch OLED panel, also featuring a 120Hz refresh rate and an impressive peak brightness of 1,600 nits.

The design ethos of the Reno 11 series is equally noteworthy. Both models sport a sleek and modern aesthetic, with the Pro variant subtly distinguishing itself. The displays curve elegantly at the edges, enhancing not just the visual appeal but also the overall handling experience. The punch-hole design for the selfie camera and the fingerprint scanner under the display demonstrates a commitment to both form and function.

Under the hood, the Reno 11 series flexes its muscles with formidable chipsets. The standard Reno 11 is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8200 chipset, offering a seamless and responsive user experience. Meanwhile, the Pro model houses the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset, an SoC known for its prowess in handling demanding tasks with ease.

The vanilla version packs a robust 4,800mAh battery, while the Pro model, with its slightly smaller form factor, still impresses with a 4,700mAh battery. What sets these devices apart is their charging prowess. The Reno 11 supports 67W charging, ensuring a quick power-up, while the Pro model accelerates the charging game with an 80W charging speed. A 19-minute charge from 0 to 50% for the Reno 11 promises minimal disruptions to your day.

The Pro model takes it a step further by incorporating the higher-end Sony LYT-700 sensor that should elevate the camera performance to new heights. Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) across both models ensures that shaky hands don’t compromise the quality of your photos and videos. Whether you’re capturing landscapes, portraits, or selfies, the Reno 11 series promises a photography experience that resonates with both enthusiasts and casual users.

Kingdom Hearts: Missing Link Coming to Mobile

Leave a comment

Kingdom Hearts: Missing Link, the latest instalment in Square’s hit RPG series, is making its way to Android and iOS devices. It’s set to go in 2024, with no definite date just yet. This mobile RPG will add to the Kingdom Hearts story with a new plot and play style.

Kingdom Hearts: Missing Link isn’t an augmented reality (AR) game like Pokemon GO but it still uses real-world places in its gameplay. The game uses your smartphone’s GPS to determine where you are on the in-game map. This lets the player explore the virtual world based on where they are in real life. The announcement video teases that you might be able to “travel the world without leaving your house” which would be a new twist in the game systems.

While there is very little information on the game’s plot, Square Enix has been recruiting beta testers for a closed beta program. There are 3,000 spots available split between Android and iOS users. For iOS, the closed beta phase lasts from November 29 to December 8. The Android beta will start in January 2024.

KINGDOM HEARTS Missing-Link Teaser Trailer

The story takes place in the city of Scala and Caelum, which fans of Kingdom Hearts III will be familiar with. Players take on the part of a main character who has no name and moves between Scala and Caelum and the real world. Real-time fighting and interactions with Disney characters are hinted at through the teaser trailers available on Square Enix’s Official YouTube Channel.

Kingdom Hearts: Missing Link was first presented at the event celebrating the 20th anniversary of Kingdom Hearts, along with Kingdom Hearts IV. Currently, there is no announcement on the date for either game released.

It seems like when it rains, it’s a never N-ding torrent from OPPO. Following the deluge of releases including the Find N3, Find N3 Flip and OPPO Pad 2, the company has taken the veils off its latest A-series smartphone, the OPPO A18. The entry-level device packs a punch with its large 5,000mAh battery and powerful MediaTek Helio G85 processor, ensuring a seamless and long-lasting performance. This device also introduces a 90Hz Sunlight Display and an Ultra Volume Mode.

The OPPO A18 stays true to OPPO’s iconic design aesthetic. It’s available in two colours, Glowing Blue and Glowing Black, both employing OPPO’s exclusive OPPO Glow design technique. This unique approach gives the phone’s back cover a shimmering appearance, making it resistant to fingerprints and providing a dual matte finish with a touch of glittery elegance.

It’s comfortable to hold, sleek, and lightweight, measuring just 8.16mm in thickness and weighing around 188g. The OPPO A18 also features a Side Fingerprint Unlock feature, ensuring swift and convenient access even when holding the device with one hand.
