High-res iQOO Neo5s renders offer a closer look at the upcoming device – GSMArena.com news – GSMArena.com
If all goes according to plan, vivo will be unveiling the iQOO Neo5s, likely alongside the iQOO Neo5 SE on December 20. The company has already teased at least some of the design of the upcoming phone, but we now get an even better look from a few angles, courtesy of reputable leakster Digital Chat Station on Weibo.
The renders are high-res, look pretty official and match up nicely with the already available official teasers. We get to see the flat front panel and its selfie punch-hole in more detail, though we can still only guess about some of its more interesting aspects, as suggested by leaks and teasers, namely pressure sensitivity and a dedicated display chip for frame processing of some sort. The panel itself is expected to be a 6.56-inch OLED unit with a 120Hz refresh rate.
As far as we currently know, one of the three snappers on the back of the iQOO Neo5s is a 48MP Sony IMX598 unit, likely with OIS on board, going by the lettering next to the camera island. We also believe the iQOO Neo5s will be powered by a Snapdragon 888 and will charge at up to 66W. Both points also mentioned by Digital Chat Station. That and the fact that the handset is expected to ship with vivo’s new OriginOS Ocean based on Android 12.

Last but not least, he does also mention that the iQOO Neo5s will have some fancy heat-dissipating internals featuring rare earth materials. That’s not an entirely new revelation either, as earlier teasers have alluded to something similar. Still, we’ll have to wait a few hours for more details on that end as well.

Important updates regarding the Bob-Birnie Arena
|
The City of Pointe-Claire would like to inform you that the Bob-Birnie arena will be closed for its annual maintenance as of Monday, April 29. The Annex rink will reopen to the public on Monday, May 13, and the arena’s Main rink will be accessible as of Monday, June 3.
Public skating will resume on May 13, and the summer public activities programming will begin on June 3 when both rinks have reopened to the public.
In addition to the annual maintenance of the facility, two renovation projects are also scheduled to start at the same time:
Installation of new sound systems
The City will be replacing its current sound systems in both the Main rink and Annex rink, to offer arena visitors a better overall experience, whether watching from the stands or participating in on-ice activities. This project is expected to be conducted throughout the month of May.
Renovation of locker rooms in the Main Rink
The City will also be renovating the five locker rooms located in the Main rink, to bring up to date the amenities currently available to participants. These renovations are expected to begin in early May and will be completed by mid-August.

Surprise Apple Event Hints at First New iPads in Years – CNET
We haven’t seen a new iPad in years, but Apple seems likely to change that in just a few weeks. All signs point to the release of new iPad models in the first week of May.
This morning, I received an email invite for a virtual Apple event, scheduled for May 7 at 7 a.m. PT (10 a.m. ET). The invite, which says “Let Loose,” shows a drawing of a hand holding an Apple Pencil. Considering the iPad is the only device that uses the Pencil — that doesn’t leave much to the imagination.
Apple’s been expected to release new OLED-screened iPad Pros with newly designed Pencils and Magic Keyboard cases. New iPad Airs are also expected, including a larger-screened 12.9-inch model. Apple’s iPad Air lineup tends to be slightly redesigned versions of previous-model iPad Pros, so just look to the M2 iPad Pro lineup for a sense of what the next Airs could be. These would be the first new iPads since the iPad Pro M2 model arrived in late 2022.
