OnePlus 12 May Launch Globally and in India on January 24, Suggests Official Website

OnePlus 12 is set to launch in China on December 5. The launch has moved ahead a bit, since initially the phone was scheduled to be unveiled on December 4 during the company's 10-year anniversary celebration event. The OnePlus 12 is said to succeed OnePlus's current flagship model, the OnePlus 11 5G, which was launched in February this year. The company has already confirmed some key specifications of the upcoming OnePlus 12. Its design and colour options have also been revealed. Now, OnePlus may have accidently confirmed the global and India launch of the phone.

The official OnePlus sites in the UK, the US, and India have now the listed OnePlus 12. The listing does not confirm a launch date, but does promote a lottery to win the upcoming flagship phone for free. If you subscribe to the launch of the product using you email IDs, you will become eligible to win the phone through a lucky draw.

Noted under the terms and conditions of this contest is the window for this contest, which runs from November 27 to January 23, as detailed on the UK site. The details on the India site confirm that the contest will close a day before the launch of the OnePlus 12, but it no longer mentions the contest window. The India OnePlus website now mentions November 27 2023 to 2024, clearly proving that the company may have accidently leaked the launch date. However, we can assume that the phone will launch globally and in India on the same day, January 24, 2024.

The design of the OnePlus 12 was recently revealed by the company ahead of its China launch. It shares a similar design language to that of the preceding OnePlus 11. A large circular camera module placed in the top left corner of the back panel comes with the Hasselblad logo in the middle. It also has curved edges, slim bezels, and a centre-aligned hole-punch cutout at the top of the display to house the front camera. The phone has been teased to launch in three colour options - Pale Green, Rock Black, and White (translated from Chinese).

OnePlus 12 is confirmed to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC and sport a Sony LYTIA LYT808 primary rear camera sensor alongside a 64-megapixel periscope telephoto lens. The phone will run Android 14 with ColorOS 14 on top and feature a ProXDR display that comes with 2K resolution, a peak brightness of 2,600 nits, and DisplayMate's A+ certification.

Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra's Alleged Hands-on Images Suggest Flat Display and Rear Panel

Samsung's Galaxy S series of smartphones has been quite popular since its inception. The anticipation for this year's Galaxy S24 Ultra is high, with the Galaxy S23 Ultra being one of the best Android smartphones of 2023 (Review). Most recently, we got our first look at the Galaxy S24 Ultra through leaked renders. Now, alleged hands-on images have surfaced online that appear to show a silver colour variant of the Galaxy S24 Ultra. It looks exactly like its predecessor but with a flat screen and back.

Tipster David Martin (@DavidMa05368498) posted alleged live images of the Galaxy S24 Ultra on X offering us a good look at what to expect from the flagship handset. It is seen with the flat back panel and a flat display. It appears to have a quad camera setup on the rear with all four cameras housed inside separate metal rings. The physical buttons are all located on the right-hand side of the handset, and there's also a center-hole punch selfie camera in the display. For the most part, it looks exactly like the Galaxy S23 Ultra. The S Pen is arranged at the bottom of the handset and protrudes slightly.

The Galaxy S24 Ultra recently appeared on the BIS website with model number SM-S928B/DS. It was also spotted on the Geekbench benchmarking platform with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC. Samsung is expected to use a tweaked version of the chip on the upcoming phone with overclocked GPU and CPU cores. It is said to come in 12GB RAM + 256GB and 8GB RAM + 128GB storage configurations.

Samsung is expected to pack a quad rear camera unit on the Galaxy S24 Ultra, comprising a 200-megapixel primary sensor, a 50-megapixel periscope camera, a 12-megapixel ultra wide-angle shooter, and a 10-megapixel telephoto sensor. It is likely to be backed by a 5,000mAh battery with support for 45W fast charging. The handset might also feature a titanium frame.

As per past leaks, Samsung's Galaxy Unpacked 2024 event will take place in San Jose, US on January 17, 2024. The brand will reportedly start taking pre-orders for the Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24+, and Galaxy S24 Ultra on the same day and general sales could begin on January 30.

Tiger 3 Box Office Collection Day 14: Salman Khan's Film Is At 264 Crore And Counting

Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif's Tiger 3 has breached the ₹ 250-crore mark at the box office. But the spy-thriller doesn't seem to be in a mood to slow down any time soon. We say this because after dwindling at the box office on its second Friday, Tiger 3 witnessed a rise in its collection on the second Saturday. On Day 14, Tiger 3 minted ₹ 6 crore (all languages) at the box office, as per Sacnilk. With this, the film appears to be aiming to breach the ₹ 300 crore mark, as its total collection now stands at ₹ 264.67 crore. The film, which is directed by Maneesh Sharma and hit the theatres on November 12, also features Emraan Hashmi as the formidable villain Aatish Rehman.

On Day 13, Tiger 3 minted ₹ 3.50 crore (all languages) at the Indian box office, taking its total to ₹ 258.37 crore, reported Sacnilk.

Tiger 3 successfully entered the coveted ₹250-crore club on Day 12, when the movie added ₹5.12 crore to its collection. On November 22, trade analyst Taran Adarsh shared a detailed breakdown of Tiger 3's collection in its second week. Sharing a post on X (formerly Twitter), Taran Adarsh wrote, “Tiger 3 [Week 2] Friday 13 crore, Saturday 18.25 crore, Sunday 10.25 crore, Monday 7.25 crore, Tuesday 6.60 crore. Total: ₹ 238.35 crore. India business. Hindi version. Box Office. Tiger 3 [Tamil + Telugu; Week 2] Friday 25 lacs, Saturday 50 lacs, Sunday 25 lacs, Monday 10 lacs, Tuesday 10 lacs. Total: ₹ 6.45 crore.”

#Tiger3 [Week 2] Fri 13 cr, Sat 18.25 cr, Sun 10.25 cr, Mon 7.25 cr, Tue 6.60 cr. Total: ₹ 238.35 cr. #India biz. #Hindi version. #Boxoffice#Tiger3 [#Tamil + #Telugu; Week 2] Fri 25 lacs, Sat 50 lacs, Sun 25 lacs, Mon 10 lacs, Tue 10 lacs. Total: ₹ 6.45 cr. pic.twitter.com/ieZeMFhFUP

Meanwhile, the official Instagram page of Yash Raj Films has claimed that Tiger 3 is “the highest-grossing Diwali release in the history of the Indian cinemas.” This is after the film has made a business of ₹ 427 crore across the globe. The text attached to the post read, “Tiger 3 roaring loud in cinemas near you now. In Hindi, Tamil & Telugu.”

A post shared by Yash Raj Films (@yrf)

In his review for NDTV, film critic Saibal Chatterjee said, “In his third outing as superspy Avinash Singh Rathore alias Tiger, Salman Khan, with aid of a story by producer Aditya Chopra and a screenplay from Shridhar Raghavan, proves that there is always a great deal of purchase from the spectacle of an irrepressible hero leaping off all kinds of perches and landing on his feet. The lead actor's star power comes in handy, but Tiger 3 (like Pathaan and unlike War) is gender-agnostic. Katrina Kaif is allowed almost as much of the action as the invincible Tiger, whose death-defying feats return in the third instalment in a bigger and more brazen form.”

The film is the third instalment of the Tiger franchise after Ek Tha Tiger [2012] and Tiger Zinda Hai [2017]. Tiger 3 is also the fifth film in the Yash Raj Spy Universe.
