Report: Samsung Electronics to manufacture Google’s second-generation Tensor on 4nm process

A new report from Naver cites industry sources that Samsung Electronics foundries will begin mass-producing Google’s second-generation Tensor chipset on the 4nm process this month. Google revealed it would launch two new Pixel 7 models in the fall – these new devices would feature the new chipset. The other thing mentioned was the use of PLP technology. “PLP is a packaging technique which chips cut from a wafer are placed on a rectangular panel. It is possible to minimize the discarded edge, thereby reducing cost and improving productivity.” Samsung is reportedly in close talks with...

Pixel Watch will reportedly last “up to a day” on a charge

The Google Pixel Watch is a highly anticipated wearable and is expected to swap more users towards using WearOS. The latest report comes from 9to5Google who cites a source that gives insight into the battery life expected on the recently teased Pixel Watch. According to the source, the Google Pixel Watch is said to last up to a day on a single charge. This number doesn’t represent Google’s official battery figures as the device is not yet released – so the officially advertised battery endurance may change once the Watch launches. The Google Pixel Watch was revealed to have a 300mAh...

Redmi sells 270,000 Note 11T Pro units in one hour

Redmi's recently unveiled Redmi Note 11T Pro for the Chinese market had its first sale earlier today, and it was a very successful one. Redmi general manager Lu Weibing reports that the brand managed to sell over 270,000 units in just one hour. While he doesn't go into specifics, we assume that means both the Note 11T Pro and the Note 11T Pro+ taken together. Still, it's a very impressive achievement, and it looks like the Chinese really like these phones. Hopefully that means they will be launched in other markets too in the future, although at this point it's anyone's guess if that ends...

Xiaomi’s first foldable phone - the Mi Mix Fold just got a major MIUI 13 closed beta update which brings plenty of improvements that should better take up the large real estate of the 8-inch inner AMOLED display.

Realme GT Neo3 review

OnePlus Nord 2 is now receiving the stable update to Android 12

We're used to seeing newer smartphones receiving big Android updates before their predecessors, but OnePlus went an entirely different way with the Nord line. The original Nord got its Android 12 update about a couple of weeks ago, while its successor, the Nord 2, is only starting to receive it now, after having gone through a couple of Open Betas. The first one of those was outed about a month ago, so it's no surprise that the stable release took a few weeks after that. Anyway, it's rolling out now as a 4.89GB download, over half a year after Google initially released it, but better late...

Xiaomi Mi Band 7 Pro may be unveiled in July with the Xiaomi 12 Ultra

Xiaomi announced the Mi Band 7 last week and among the upgrades is a larger display with 25% more viewable area, according to the company. The display also has an Always On mode. One rumored upgrade that didn’t arrive was built-in GPS. The related Redmi Smart Band Pro already had the AOD mode, an even larger display and it does have GPS. Should you pick up the Redmi band? Maybe wait a little. Xiaomi will reportedly unveil a Mi Band 7 Pro alongside the Xiaomi 12 Ultra, according to one leakster. Such a device also leaked through the Mi Door Lock app before the regular Band 7 was...

Kuo: TSMC will manufacture A16 Bionic chip on 5nm process for 2022 iPhone 14 series

TSMC published its roadmap, and analyst Ming-Chi Kuo spotted that this year the Taiwanese company will stick to 5nm process technology. This comes as an indication the new A16 Bionic chip for this year’s iPhones will be manufactured on the same fab process as the A15, bringing minor improvements. The aligns well with rumors that the vanilla iPhone 14 will use the A15 chip, without the slight efficiency gains expected to come with the A16, reserved for the Pro series. The analyst also stated the next-gen MacBook Air will stick to the M1 chip as the successor M2 will not be...

Gurman: iPhone 14 Pro series to bring AOD functionality

In his latest Bloomberg newsletter report, Mark Gurman talks about iPhone 14 Pro series gaining Always-on display (AOD) functionality, iOS 16’s major new features and other announcements set to appear at WWDC 2022 on June 6. The big headline is the long-rumored AOD functionality which will likely be exclusive to the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max and their LTPO AMOLED displays. These panels can dial back the refresh rate on the lock screen in a bid to save up battery power while displaying AOD information like time, date and notifications. Apple already offers AOD on its Apple Watches so it...

Rumor: Galaxy Z Fold4 to improve cameras, bring iterative upgrades to the rest of the phone

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 is expected to bring important upgrades to the main camera trio and iterative improvements to everything else. We’ve been seeing leaks about this or that detail in recent weeks, now leakster Yogesh Brar has posted an overview of the expected specifications. The star of the show – the foldable display inside – will allegedly remain at 7.6”. Samsung is said to be working on reducing the crease. Part of the effort to improve this display includes using tougher Super UTG. The internal display and the external 6.2” displays will still use 120Hz AMOLED panels with...

Realme GT Neo 3T launching on June 7

Realme is set to unveil its GT Neo 3T in Indonesia on June 7. We got official confirmation from the brand and the event will also feature the GT Neo 3 for that market. Those interested in the launch will be able to tune in to the launch live stream via YouTube and Twitter from 8:30 AM Jakarta time (UTC 1:30 AM). Realme GT Neo 3T is expected to launch with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 870 and a 6.5-inch AMOLED display with a punch hole cutout in the left corner instead of the centered cutout on the regular Neo 3.

vivo T2x is official with Dimensity 1300, Y33e tags along

A new phone arrived today, and it is the vivo T2x that extensively leaked last week. Just as the scrolls foretold, the new device has a Dimensity 1300 chipset and a big battery. vivo also introduced a Y33e phone, which is largely identical to the Y33s 5G but with half the RAM and slower charging. The T2x is vivo’s first phone with the new Mediatek chipset that has a 3.0 GHz CPU and a Mali-G77 graphics unit. The 6.58” LCD has Full HD+ resolution, and vivo decided to keep it traditional with the front-facing camera - a waterdrop notch for the 8MP shooter. There are only two...

Week 21 in review: Xiaomi launches Redmi Note 11T and Mi Band 7, Oppo Reno8 series unveiled

We saw week 21 come and go now and the announcements kept on pilling up. Xiaomi kicked things off with the Redmi Note 11T Pro and Pro+ launch in China. The two devices bring similar specs like 6.6-inch 144Hz IPS LCDs. Dimensity 8100 chipsets and 64MP main cams. The major differences come in the storage, battery capacity and charging speed departments. Note 11T Pro+ gets up to 512GB built-in storage, a 4,400 mAh battery with 120W charging while the regular Note 11T Pro sticks to a 5,080mAh cell with 67W charging.

Flashback: some crazy phones had three or even four SIM card slots

How many SIM slots does your phone have? In some regions dual-SIM models are quite popular, though in recent years eSIM (embedded SIM) has started taking over from the secondary slot for an external card. Many carriers offer low cost roaming or there is no roaming at all (e.g. within the EU), so having the option to pop in a extra card from a local carrier has become less important. But this is now, a decade ago some makers weren’t sure how many phone lines you may need in your pocket. One? Two? Four? Let’s start with the loneliest number. As we explained in a previous installment, the...

Weekly poll: the Oppo Reno8 trio awaits your verdict

Earlier this week Oppo unveiled the Reno8 series, which arrives with three new chipsets. All three phones have high refresh rate AMOLED displays, 50MP primary cameras and 4,500mAh batteries that charge at 80W. Is any of the three likely to be your next phone? We’ll start with the Oppo Reno8 Pro+ as the most impressive model of the trio. It features the Dimensity 8100-Max chipset, paired with 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 256GB UFS 3.1 storage. This is going to be one speedy phone. The Dimensity is aided by the custom MariSilicon X chip that does AI-based processing on photos and videos coming...

Weekly poll results: Huawei Mate Xs 2 struggles to justify its price tag

Most people feel that foldables are too expensive – not that we had any doubt that is still the case, but last week’s poll reaffirms that belief. Unfortunately for the Huawei Mate Xs 2, it’s not only the price that is dissuading people from wanting one, the outward-folding design may have been a bad idea. A common theme emerged while reading through the comments – €2,000 for a phone with a year old chipset, no 5G and no Google Play Store is too much. The lack of access to parts and services was caused by trade sanctions against Huawei and the situation is unlikely to change...

Infinix Note 12 VIP unboxing

The Infinix Note 12 VIP is the latest arrival here at the office and it's one of the best-equipped. We're not talking about specs, although they're nothing to sneeze at either - no, we're talking about the retail experience. The Infinix Note 12 VIP comes jam-packed with accessories. You get a gift card to Infinix's store, a bunch of stickers, a SIM tool, a complimentary case, a screen protector (as well as one pre-applied on the phone), earbuds, a USB cable, and a 120W charger. The charger itself is the smallest 120W brick we've seen. It's rated for 5.0V at 3.0A or 4.0-20V at 6.0A. Just...

HTC's flagship phone delayed

We doubt that there are many of you holding your breath waiting for HTC's next flagship phone given that it's been a while since the company released a high-end device. The handset was expected to make its debut in April but it seems that it has been delayed. The reason for the delay is reportedly COVID-19-induced supply chain issues, so HTC hasn't abandoned its project. Some believe that the phone will have an unusual appeal, just like the Exodus 1 and Exodus 1s smartphones, which were blockchain-centric. This time around, HTC's flagship will likely be related to the company's...

Xiaomi Redmi 11 5G specs and release date revealed

One of the most anticipated low-end smartphones from Xiaomi is supposed to see its release sometime next month, with no information on the actual date. 91mobiles got the most important specs ahead of launch, though, along with the Indian pricing. The device is expected to feature a 6.58-inch FHD+ LCD panel, supporting 90Hz refresh rate. A MediaTek Dimensity 700 chipset will run the show coupled with at least 4GB of RAM and 64GB of expandable storage via a microSD card slot. Xiaomi Redmi 10 The camera configuration is also known- 50MP sensor will be aided by a 2MP sensor on the...

Realme GT Neo 3T confirmed to launch soon

Earlier this month, we learned that Realme was gearing up to launch the GT Neo 3T since the smartphone got certified by a few certifying authorities. While we still don't know when exactly the GT Neo 3T will be unveiled, Realme's global team has announced the smartphone is "coming soon." The poster shared by Realme also shows us the GT Neo 3T, which has a punch hole in the top-left corner for the selfie camera instead of the center like the GT Neo 3. You can also see the Neo 3T has the power button on its right-side frame, which is unlikely to double up as a fingerprint scanner for...

New Gallery Go app drops the “Go” name

As spotted by 9to5Google, the Gallery Go app appears to have dropped the “Go” part of its name with its new app icon. With version 1.8.8.436428459, the name of the app is just “Gallery” now. Via 9to5Google Gallery Go first launched in 2019 as a ‘Lite’ alternative to Google Photos for devices with limited hardware. As even budget devices catch up to have more RAM and CPU power, the demand for “Go” alternatives may have curbed a bit. It is also possible that Google may be trying to reach a wider audience with its no-frills Gallery app. Earlier this month, it was announced that the...

Google Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro display specs leak

Google has already teased the upcoming Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro back at its I/O developer conference earlier this month, showing us both of their backs and thus confirming that it's keeping the camera visor design. If you're interested on the other side of this fall's Pixels, a new report today is here to deliver, with purported details about their displays. Let's get through the specs first and then we'll tell you how they were uncovered. So, the Pixel 7 will have a panel with 1080x2400 resolution and 90 Hz refresh rate, while the Pixel 7 Pro's screen gets 1440x3120 resolution and a...

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 case leaks showing a slightly different aspect ratio

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 is a great foldable smartphone, but perhaps its main issue is the overly tall aspect ratio of its external screen, which makes typing not a great experience. According to a new leak out of China today, that niggle might get improved in the next generation. Seen below is a transparent case for the Galaxy Z Fold3, next to a couple of shots of what is purported to be a similar case for the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold4. The latter has a bit more width to it, implying that the cover screen's aspect ratio has been slightly improved, making it less tall than that of the...

Oppo A57 4G announced with Helio G35 SoC and faster charging

Oppo unveiled the A57 in April with Dimensity 810 SoC and 5G connectivity, and now it has announced a 4G-only version powered by the Helio G35 chip. That's not the only difference between the two variants, though. The 4G model packs a 5,000 mAh battery which now charges faster up to 33W instead of 10W, but the screen refresh rate is reduced from 90Hz to 60Hz. It is still a 6.56" LCD having HD+ resolution. The memory and storage have also come down. You get 3GB RAM and 64GB of storage onboard. However, the Oppo A57 4G supports RAM expansion up to 4GB - which will hardly make any...

Google releases Android 13 Beta 2.1 for Pixel phones

Google has released a new update to the Android 13 Beta. Alhough we’re only halfway through the month, the new Android 13 Beta 2.1 patch will address a few issues that affected Pixel devices immediately following the initial release of the Android 13 Public Beta. Google’s release notes include the following fixes: Fixed an issue where typing in the search bar resulted in a blank list of suggestions.

Samsung quietly makes the Galaxy M13 official

Samsung's quietly announced a new entry-level smartphone today, and it's not part of the incredibly successful A series. Instead, it's part of the much more confusing and less well defined M family. Meet the Galaxy M13. Samsung Galaxy M13 in Deep Green As the first digit strongly implies, this is a basic smartphone which should be rather affordable, although we can't comment on that since Samsung hasn't actually unveiled a price for it. That said, expect the M13 to be offered in Europe at least. Samsung Galaxy M13 in Orange Copper The phone comes with a 6.6-inch...

Poco F4 GT, Poco Watch launch in the UK with early bird pricing until May 30

The Poco F4 GT got its global launch back in April, but for some reason it was only introduced for the UK market today. Good things come to those who wait? Well, quite. See, the phone can be ordered until 23:59 on May 30 for a special introductory price of £499 for the model with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. Its normal price, the one it will get starting on May 31, is £699, so that's a whopping £200 you're saving there if you act fast. But wait, there's more! Xiaomi's UK online store is currently running a separate promo which sees it take off £30 from your cart if you spend £300 or...

Broadcom agrees to buy VMware for $61 billion

Chipmaker Broadcom has announced that it agrees to acquire cloud computing company VMware to the tune of $61 billion in a cash-and stock deal. This is Broadcom’s most significant shift towards diversifying its business into the enterprise software industry. The deal offers $142.50 per VMware stock, which comes out to an approximate premium of 49% over the stock’s closing price on the last close before reports of a deal began to break on May 22. Broadcom’s shares are up 3% and VMware is up 2%. As part of the deal, Broadcom will also adopt VMware’s $8 billion net debt. Last year, Dell...

Google reportedly further postpones foldable Pixel phone

During Google I/O this year, Google left out any mention of the foldable Pixel smartphone that has been rumored for many months now. This is the same foldable that may be called the Pixel Notepad and was believed to cost around $1,400 at launch. According to a new report from The Elec, Pixels new foldable device is being postponed yet again. The report says that people familiar with the project claimed “the postponement likely comes down to the product not being as complete as Google wishes.” This is not, however, the first time we heard this. Plus, the sources say that Google was in talks...

Honor reveals more details about the 70 series including chipsets and camera samples

Honor is gearing up to launch a new lineup of devices at the end of the month and in anticipation of that launch event, the company has revealed more details about its upcoming lineup of flagships on Weibo pertaining to some of its core features.

Nothing phone (1) launch date and price leak

Yesterday Nothing unveiled a few new bits of information about its upcoming smartphone, the Nothing phone (1) - namely that it will have a transparent back, wireless charging support, and a frame made from recycled aluminum. However, the company still hasn't revealed when the Nothing phone (1)'s announcement is happening. A new leak from Germany is here to rectify that, saying the device will be launching on July 21. It's unclear if that's the date on which sales start or the date of the unveiling, but either way it should be an important day for Nothing and its smartphone...

Our Honor Magic4 Pro video review is now out

Honor is trying to recapture some of Huawei's long-lost glory in the western world, and it finally has a proper flagship device to help it do that with: the Magic4 Pro.

But what if you don't want to get into all of the nitty gritty and just need a concise idea of what to expect should you choose to buy an Honor Magic4 Pro? Well for that purpose we...

Several Huawei MateBook laptops get discounts of up to 40% on Amazon UK

Huawei UK is running a promotion on its laptops, offering discounts of up to 40%. There are several 15.6” and 14” laptops to choose from as well as a 12.6” hybrid device. We have laid out the key details in the table below, but first we wanted to highlight a few devices. The Huawei MateBook D 15 is 40% off, which brings its price down to £450. This particular configuration is powered by an 11th generation Intel processor (i5-1135G7) with 8GB of RAM and 512GB storage.

Motorola Razr 3 leaks in short hands-on video showcasing entirely new design

Motorola has already officially confirmed that it's working on a new Razr foldable smartphone, which is going to be the first properly flagship-grade one in the family with its Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC. Today the device has been leaked in a quick hands-on video (well, it's technically a GIF, but you get the idea). The design seems to have changed a lot compared to the original Razr from 2019 and the Razr 5G from 2020, and the new phone has lost the trademark Razr chin at the bottom - now it resembles Samsung's Flips more than any past Razrs. It also has two main cameras (that's 100% more...

Nothing phone (1) will have a transparent back and wireless charging

Nothing is a company founded by Carl Pei, who pioneered the extensive teaser campaign for a new product while at OnePlus. Unsurprisingly then, the upcoming Nothing phone (1) is getting an extended teaser campaign of its own. We've already learned about some carrier partnerships, and today it's time for a new nugget of information. The Nothing phone (1) will have a transparent back. This was revealed today by Pei and Tom Howard, Nothing's head of design. Howard says they really "wanted to bring the inside out", which understandably created some hurdles, as there are over 400 components in a...

Apple to launch new Apple Watch Pride Edition soon

For the past few years, Apple has launched Pride Edition bands for the Apple Watch in May to celebrate Pride Month. The company is yet to do that this year, but if Mark Gurman is to be believed, the Pride version bands for the Watch Series 7 should start arriving later this week. Gurman also claims that Apple will launch a new Pride Edition of the Apple Watch "fairly imminently" but doesn't provide a specific date for its availability. Apple Watch Series 7 This isn't the first time Apple will launch a special edition Apple Watch. Last year, Apple launched the Watch Series 6 Black...

Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite (2022) soon to be released in India

Earlier this month, Samsung quietly announced the 2022 version of the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite for the global market and now we have a really good reason to believe that the tablet is making its way to Indian shores as well. A support page of the product went live on Samsung's Indian branch of its official website. This is not the first time we see Samsung opening up the support page for a still unannounced product. The OEM usually does that days or weeks in advance. So it's probably safe to assume that the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite (2022) with model number SM-P613 is about to make a debut in...

Report: Apple AirPods Pro 2 won't be affected by supply chain constraints

One of the most renowned Apple analysts, Ming-Chi Kuo, says that Apple's future AirPods Pro 2 are right on schedule and will be unaffected by the supply chain constraints that China's manufacturing is experiencing right now. That's mainly because Apple has shifted some of its production to Vietnam, where the COVID-19 situation is vastly different from China's. This, in turn, means that the pair will be introduced sometime in the second half of this year, with mass production starting around that time too. In addition to that report, Ming-Chi Kuo believes that the AirPods Pro 2 will...

Xiaomi 13 and 13 Pro could arrive sooner than expected

Now, this is a highly speculative story but an interesting one, nonetheless. It appears that Xiaomiui dug up a total of four IMEIs from a Chinese database assigned to four model numbers. It's believed that these model numbers represent the Chinese and global variants of the Xiaomi 13 and 13 Pro. The model numbers in question are 221113C and 2210132C - those are for the Chinese market while their global counterparts are 2211133G and 2210132G, hence the letter "G" at the end. It seems as if Xiaomi has already started developing the Xiaomi 13 series even though the Xiaomi 12 Ultra...

Samsung announces One UI Watch beta for the Galaxy Watch4

On its community forum, Samsung announced that on June 2, the company will kick off the One UI Watch beta program for Galaxy Watch4 owners. This is perhaps the first time we have seen a beta program for a smart wearable. Sadly, the offer stands only for South Korean owners. After June 2, eligible owners can apply for the beta release using Samsung's Members app. After the rollout begins, the Korean tech giant will release not just the beta version of the next One UI Watch but also a beta for the accompanying wearable app for your phone. There's a catch, though. Once you enter the...

“LG IMS” Bug was causing some LG phones on T-Mobile to go offline

LG devices on T-Mobile may have experienced a serious hiccup towards the end of the weekend. A backend change caused LG devices to display a persistent error that caused “LG IMS” to crash without ability to connect to cellular services.

Taking the stage today at Computex 2022, AMD made a suite of announcements, including details about its upcoming Ryzen 7000 series of desktop processors, as well as several new technologies and laptop details.

The new processors will have double the L2 cache per core,...

Motorola confirms next Razr will have Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1

Motorola brought the Razr brand back to life several years ago, and the foldable smartphone has had two iterations so far. None of them were powered by a flagship chipset, but a company executive revealed this is about to change. A brand manager of Motorola shared a teaser on his own Weibo page, revealing the new Moto Razr will run on the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset. The first smart Moto Razr arrived in late 2019. Back then Motorola told us that having a flagship chipset is not a top priority among foldable users, and that’s why HQ decided against the idea. Three years later, the...

The Xiaomi Mi Band 7 is available for pre-order, sales start tomorrow

The new Xiaomi Mi Band 7 will launch tomorrow, but you can already reserve one on the company’s storefront at JD.com. Actually, there are two versions – regular and NFC. While they will be available simultaneously in China, chances are that the global launch of the NFC version will come later (that was the case for the Mi Band 6 NFC). Anyway, there’s no word on pricing yet. For the 6th generation, the regular model cost CNY 230 while the NFC one was CNY 280. European prices were €45/€55, respectively. The new generation promises a series of updates, starting with a larger display –...
