OnePlus Nord 3 mentioned on the company's Indian site
OnePlus has been focusing on its mid-range offerings lately and the latest leak is in the same category – the name “OnePlus Nord 3” was spotted on the company’s Indian site by leakster Mukul Sharma. There wasn’t much besides the name, but we have already heard plenty about the phone. That roadmap was more or less correct about the Nord CE 2 Lite and 10R launches, it is yet to be proven correct about the Nord 2T, so take it with a pinch of salt. A OnePlus Nord 3 mention was spotted on oneplus.inAnyway, rumored specs (by Digital Chat Station) suggest that the Nord 3 will be powered by the Dimensity 8100 (like the 10R) with up to 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB storage. All this sounds too much like the 10R, so it is quite possible this was a case of mistaken identity as the OnePlus 10R already launched in India.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4's battery size leaks
Last November, we heard the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4 arriving this year will have the same battery capacity as the Galaxy Z Flip3. But, a new report by Dutch publication GalaxyClub claims the Galaxy Z Flip4 will pack a slightly larger battery. The publication says that the Galaxy Z Flip4 (SM-F721) will come with two batteries, having model codes EB-BF721ABY and EB-BF722ABY. Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3This takes the total rated capacity to 3,303 mAh, which is 103 mAh more than the Galaxy Z Flip3's total rated capacity, meaning the Flip4's typical battery size will be about 3,400 mAh (Flip3 is 3,300 mAh). We are still a few months away from the Galaxy Z Flip4's unveiling, but you can expect to hear more about it in the lead-up to the official announcement.

iQOO Neo6 SE camera revealed
Remember when new phone announcements used to happen all in one go, at one event, with zero specs being officially outed beforehand by the companies themselves? Well, now everybody's doing just that, and vivo sub-brand iQOO has been applying exactly this formula when it comes to the Neo6 SE. It hadn't talked about this before, but now we know that the Neo6 SE's main rear shooter will be a 64 MP unit with OIS. That seems, on paper at least, identical to the Neo6, which is already launched. The Neo6 SE has the Snapdragon 870, while the Neo6 goes with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1.

Undermining a nation
The new Government, ever eager to strip any credence from their predecessors, scrapped that development pipeline essentially, and oblivious to any real national growth drive, led with their ruinous tax cuts. Sri Lanka collected less revenue than virtually every other country, and has a staggeringly high cost of running an inefficient Government. And one wonders, why the simple math couldn’t be grasped, particularly when the fantasised local investor surge never materialised. Populist leaders often paint in broad brush strokes, and the disciplined execution required for crisis management often eludes them. Foreign debt will now be repaid under the aegis of the IMF as per the Government, which constitutes a form of default, unprecedented for the island nation since achieving independence in 1948.
