The Realme Q3 series will be unveiled next week and the company’s slogan, “Dare to leap”, will be painted on the back of the phones with phosphorescent paint that will glow in the dark. The teaser clip below was posted by Realme’s Vice President, Xu Qi Chase.

The VP also called the Realme Q3 the “thousand yuan king”, which contradicts the leaked price of CNY 2,000. The current Q2 series falls in the CNY 1,000-1,500 range ($150-230).

The company expects the new Q3 series to surpass the current Q2 models, which have proven to be quite successful and have reached 1 million sales.

From what we’ve heard from rumors so far, the Realme Q3 will feature a 120 Hz screen, a Dimensity 1100 chipset and a 4,500 mAh battery with 50W fast charging. As Realme loves teasers, we expect to get some official info on the phone before next week’s reveal.

As a reminder, we're also expecting the Realme 8 5G to go official next week (the Q3 themselves should feature 5G as well).

Asus is expected to bring its Zenfone 8 series soon in no less than three sizes according to the latest rumors. The smallest device of the bunch will be the 5.9-inch Zenfone Mini (ASUS_I006D) and the phone was now spotted in the Geekbench database.

The Zenfone 8 Mini is powered by the Snapdragon 888 alongside 16GB RAM and managed impressive scores of 1,123 in the single-core department and 3,681 on the multi-core thread. Based on previous rumors, the Zenfone 8 Mini will feature a 64MP Sony IMX686 main cam alongside a new Sony IMX663 module. The phone will also bring 30W charging.

All Zenfone 8 series phones are expected to pack OLED displays 120Hz refresh rates and FHD+ resolution. The Mini will be joined by the Zenfone 8 Pro (ASUS_I004D) as well as Zenfone Flip which could be the only device to retain the signature flip-up camera of the previous Zenfone series.s

Pine64 has recently announced that it would begin taking pre-orders for the highly-anticipated PineTab Linux tablet later this month after the device has previously been pushed back several times.

The PineTab is designed to be a super-affordable Linux tablet that would ship with Ubuntu Touch from UBports, but the parent company says you should be able to run any Linux operating system at some point in the future.

“Software-wise the PineTab is convergent with both PinePhone and Pinebook software releases. It will therefore, in time, run most mobile operating systems developed for our platform as well as popular desktop OS options. I am also certain that the number of choices will explode after the first batch gets into early adopters’ hands, and that we will see more desktop-oriented releases with touch input capabilities very soon,” Pine64 says.

The new Linux tablet, which will cost just $99.99, can also work with a $19.99 magnetic backlit keyboard that simply attaches to the device.
"Limited pre-order program"

However, the company is also working on a series of expansion options, including an M.2 SATA SSD, M.2 LTE and GPS, a LoRa module, and RTL-SDR.

As for the specs, the PineTab is a decent tablet. It ships with a 10-inch 1280x720 pixels IPS LCD screen, while power comes from an Allwinner A64 quad-core processor paired with 2GB RAM. The GPU is a Mali-400 MP2 unit, while for storage, you get 64GB eMMC. There is one USB 2.0 Type-A port as well as a microSD slot. The device ships with a 6,000 mAh battery that should easily get you through the day.

While the pre-order program will kick off later this month, it will only include limited quantities.

“This is a limited-quantity pilot-production run. In other words, these PineTabs are similar in nature to Braveheart PinePhones – they are aimed at early adopters who understand the implications of purchasing an early production-run device,” Pine64 says.

Linux has long been considered an alternative to Windows, but many refused to make the switch and abandon Microsoft’s operating system due to the rather limited gaming support in the Linux world.

And yet, this drawback has been gradually addressed not only with games that landed with Linux support, but also thanks to other solutions, such as Lutris, which make it possible to play a wider array of titles on the likes of Ubuntu and others.

The video that you see here is a demonstration of how GTA 5, which is now available for free from the Epic Games store, runs on Linux using Lutris, all with an approach that’s as straightforward as possible.

In other words, pretty much everyone should be able to get the game running on Linux, despite GTA V itself being a rather large game that would have previously raised various compatibility issues here.
"Steam games"

Of course, the even easier way is to get games from Steam, where Linux support is offered from the very beginning, but the videos shows that even without some titles published there, it’s still possible to play them if you recently made the transition from Windows.

At the end of the day, this shows that right now, it’s hard to find a reason not to move from Windows to Linux if you want to leave the Microsoft world behind. While app support remains a concern for some, it’s something that’s being addressed as we speak, and right now, there are plenty of alternatives to Windows software in the Linux world that make the transition much smoother.

At this point, the adoption of Linux is also increasing, and given all these improvements happening on the platform lately, there’s a good chance more Windows users would consider the migration sooner or later.
