Welcome to the end of week 41 and its highlights recap. Let’s start with some Galaxy S23 series leaks. The smallest of the series, the namesake Galaxy S23 will retain the 6.1-inch display but the battery will grow to 3,900mAh. The Galaxy S23 Ultra will stick to a 5,000mAh drive.

Samsung has announced that by the end of October it will release the OneUI 5 firmware update on the Galaxy S22 series. Now, there will be a time difference depending on the market, but it’s still great news: Samsung released the previous major update in November last year.

Tecno introduced the Pova 4 series with Pova 4 and 4 Pro. The two share the Helio G99 chipset and a large 6,000mAh battery and the Pro adds an OLED screen and faster 45W charging. Pova 4 and Pova 4 Pros will only be available in Bangladesh for now, but we expect the duo to hit other markets soon.

Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reported that the iPhone will switch to USB-C in 2023. This would make Apple comply with the EU mandate that all portable electronic devices use USB-C from the fall of 2024 a year in advance.

Going back this year, OnePlus will announce the Nord N300 this November with a 90Hz display, 33W wired charging, and priced under $ 300.
