Sony announces ZV-E1 vlogging camera with full-frame sensor

Sony today announced the ZV-E1 vlogging camera. This new model sits at the top of the company's ZV line and is the first to feature a full-frame sensor. The ZV-E1 has the same 12MP full-frame sensor found on the A7S III and the FX3, which is a very high quality sensor with remarkable low light capabilities and 15+ stops dynamic range.

vivo X Flip undergoes Google Play certification confirming its name

vivo's upcoming first entry into the flip-style foldable space has been in the news a lot lately, and today, thanks to it receiving its Google Play certification, the name has been confirmed. Surprising absolutely no one, the phone will be called vivo X Flip. It makes perfect sense in vivo's naming logic, since X Fold is its other line of foldables, and the X Flip will compete with Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip4 and Oppo's Find N2 Flip. Looks like if you want to escape the word "flip" in the name of such devices, you'll have to go with Motorola, as everyone else is being rather...

Weekly poll results: Galaxy A54 sparks interest, but reviews will decide its fate

Is the Galaxy A54 a worthy successor to the A52s? The phone was a bright spot in the series, while the A53 just wasn’t quite as good. Based on last week’s poll, the A54 has potential, but it is going to have to prove itself in reviews. The reason that the A52s was so well liked is its chipset, the Snapdragon 778G is powerful and efficient and was sitting greatly at its €450 price tag. The A53 had the Exynos 1280 and it managed to match its predecessor at 113h endurance, but it needed 500mAh extra in the battery to do so. And in terms of performance it wasn’t even close. Now the Samsung...

Samsung may launch a Tri-Fold device this year, the S23 FE isn't happening

Another week, another contradictory rumor regarding the death or resurrection of the mythical Samsung Fan Edition line. This time around, it's bad news - apparently the Galaxy S23 FE isn't happening after all. That may be sad and all that, but on the other hand, the same source brings us an incredibly intriguing flip side to this rumor. The Korean company is said to be working on a "Tri-Fold" device, and this "might finally ship this year". That's the prototypical "big if true" news, since for the past few years we've basically had single-hinge foldables. This promises to be a...
