iPhone 14 Plus
Even though Apple introduced the iPhone 14 series back on 7th September, the release of the iPhone 14 Plus was delayed till 7th October. The phone will first be available on a pre-order basis.
This year, the 14 Plus is replacing the standard mini that was last seen on the iPhone 13. Given the popularity of large phones, replacing the mini with a large 6.7-inch display device seemed like a logical choice.
The internals of the iPhone 14 Plus is the same as the standard iPhone 14. The only difference is the large display and a larger battery.
The preorder price of the device is slated at 899 USD which roughly amounts to 90,695 BDT (1 USD = 100.88 BDT). But the price will grossly differ once it becomes available in Bangladesh.

Google Pixel 7/7Pro
In 2021, Google’s Pixel 6 series took a huge jump from the moderate mid-range offerings. It was a proper flagship competitor with a complete design overhaul. In 2022, Google is planning again on a full-on flagship lineup with the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro. The devices will be unveiled globally on 6th October.
Spec-wise, there are only a few minor differences from the previous generation. Perhaps the most worrying thing here is that Pixel is using the same camera setup from last year with the primary sensor being a 50 MP Samsung GN1 lens.
The most notable change will be seen in the back visor as it has been replaced with an aluminum one. On top of that, Google will unveil the second generation of their in-home tensor processor.
Not much is known about the price of the devices. Going by last year, the prices should be around 699 USD (BDT 71073) for the standard 7 and 899 USD (BDT 91409) for the 7 Pro (1 USD = 100.88 BDT).
