Nothing Phone (2) screen size confirmed, will get 3 years of Android updates

A few weeks ago, Nothing founder Carl Pei confirmed that the Phone (2) - arriving in July - will be powered by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC. And more recently, Pei said the Nothing Phone (2) would pack a 4,700 mAh battery, which is 200 mAh larger than the Phone (1)'s cell. Now the company has revealed the Phone (2)'s screen size. The Nothing Phone (2)'s screen will be 0.15" bigger than Phone (1)'s display, measuring 6.7" diagonally. While Nothing hasn't divulged its resolution, it will likely be FullHD+ like the Phone (1)'s panel. Nothing Phone (2)'s design teaser Additionally,...



Apple Reality Pro to bring dual 4K displays

The Apple AR/VR headset, reportedly named Reality Pro, will be announced on June 5. According to Ross Young, CEO of Display Supply Chain Consultants (DSCC), the headset will have two 1.41” micro OLEDs, bringing a 4,400 ppi resolution and over 5,000 nits of brightness. In a follow-up tweet, the analyst said the resolution should be “4K per eye”. Simple math reveals that with a 1.41” diagonal and a circular/square display, the side is 1”, and the resolution is 4,000 x 4,000 pixels per display. These numbers are impressive because the Meta Quest Pro's resolution is 1,800 x 1,920 per eye,...



Realme C53 launches with 6.74" display and 5,000mAh battery

Realme just launched the C53 in Malaysia – a large, affordable handset for the entry-level segment. It’s already available through Lazada at MYR 550 with 6/128GB configuration. For comparison, the slightly more capable C55 sells for MYR 700 with the same memory configuration. We’ll let you in on a little secret – the Realme C53 is essentially identical to the Realme Narzo N53 that launched in India a couple of weeks ago. That one had a 4/64GB base model, but the 6/128GB one is priced at INR 11,000, which converts to $133. The price of the C53 is slightly lower in US dollars, $120. Here’s...

Gurman: Several new Macs coming at WWDC next week

Apple will host its annual developer’s conference WWDC starting June 5. According to Mark Gurman, Chief Correspondent for Bloomberg on everything Apple, we will see the AR/VR headset, as well as the new version of the company's operating systems for smartphones, tablets, computers and smartwatches. In a more intriguing twist Gurman also suggetsed there will be “several new Macs”, meaning there will be more than the 15” MacBook Air with M2 chipset. I’m expecting three major focus areas next week: 1) several new Macs, 2) the mixed-reality headset, 3) the new OSs. With all of the new...

Samsung Galaxy Tab S9+ and S9 Ultra have their fast charging abilities outed

Samsung has long been rumored to introduce a new tablet family at its next Unpacked event, alongside the Galaxy Z Fold5 and Flip5 and the Galaxy Watch6 family. This event is now likely to take place in late July, and as we get closer to that point more and more details about these devices are being outed. Today we're talking about the Galaxy Tab S9+ and the Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra - two of the three tablets that should comprise the S9 family (the third being the 'vanilla' S9 model). Through a new TUV certification, we now know that there will be three versions of each. Samsung Galaxy Tab...



Samsung Galaxy F54 5G will be unveiled on June 6, pre-orders begin

Samsung was rumored to launch the Galaxy F54 5G in India by the end of April, and while that didn't happen, we now know that the Korean conglomerate will unveil the Galaxy F54 5G in the Asian country on June 6 at 3PM IST. Samsung hasn't detailed the Galaxy F54 5G's specs sheet. However, the company gave us a glimpse of the smartphone's design through its promo page on the official website, confirming the presence of a triple camera setup on the rear, headlined by a "segment-leading" 108MP camera with OIS. The Korean brand also revealed that Galaxy F54 5G would come with...

Xiaomi Mix Fold3 rumored to bring UD camera, 50W wireless charging

Xiaomi’s Mix Fold lineup is expected to get a new member later this summer with the Mix Fold3. The upcoming device is rumored to bring a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset and a periscope camera as well as a waterproof body with a proper IP rating. Reliable tipsterDigital Chat Station has now shared his latest set ot leaked specs on the Mix Fold3 and they suggest an under-display (UD) camera on the main folding screen which is something that was missing on the first two generations of the Mix Fold.

OnePlus 11 Marble Odyssey will go on sale in India starting June 6

The OnePlus 11 Marble Odyssey, announced in India last week, will go on sale in the country starting June 6 through Amazon.in and OnePlus' official Indian website. OnePlus hasn't revealed its price yet, but the company confirmed it will be available in a single 16GB/256GB configuration. The OnePlus 11 Marble Odyssey is a rebranded Jupiter Rock Edition introduced in China in March. Its rear panel is made of 3D microcrystalline rock, and OnePlus says each panel has its unique pattern, ensuring no two phones are alike. Aside from that cosmetic difference, the OnePlus 11...



vivo V29 Pro teaser reveals the most important specs

Back in early March, vivo released the V27 Pro. Now, mere weeks later, the Chinese company is ready to unveil the V29 Pro. We're not sure what's going on here - normally jumping a couple of numbers forward is what successors do in vivoland, but a new release so soon is pretty weird. Regardless, vivo Philippines put up a teaser page for the upcoming V29 Pro, which is "coming soon". Thankfully, that page reveals most of the handset's main specs, so let's go through them and see how this model compares to the V27 Pro, at least on paper. The V29 Pro comes with a 6.7-inch 1080p 120 Hz...



Google developed a second foldable alongside the Pixel Fold but canceled it

If you heard rumors that Google was working on not one but two foldable smartphones in the past few months (and years), it turns out those mumblings were actually true, despite the fact that the company only eventually announced one of them, namely the Pixel Fold. Apparently there was a second foldable smartphone created by the same team that was in charge of the Pixel Fold. This other device apparently "wasn't good enough" which is why it was eventually canceled and never made it to market. The team felt like it should only launch devices that are good enough or better than what is out...



vivo S17 appears with Snapdragon 778G+ SoC, S17 Pro will have 50 MP selfie camera

The vivo S17 series will be officially unveiled on May 31, and we expect the vanilla vivo S17 and vivo S17 Pro to make an appearance. The mightier option is expected to have a Dimensity 8200 chipset, but the basic version is likely to have a Snapdragon 778G+ SoC, according to a listing on Geekbench. The vivo V2283A device, said to be the vivo S17, was listed with “lahaina” chipset, and while this is the codename of the Snapdragon 888 series, we can confirm it is actually the 778G+ due to the different CPU combo, as well as the GPU being Adreno 642L. The listing also revealed the...

Top 10 trending phones of week 21

Samsung Galaxy A54 tops yet another edition of our trending chart in week 21, followed by its Galaxy S23 Ultra stablemate. The Redmi Note 12 Pro and Redmi Note 12 come in next in third and fourth positions, while Apple's iPhone 14 Pro Max completes the top 5.

Motorola's Edge 40 takes eight place, while the Galaxy A14 capitalized on its new...



Formovie P1 portable projector review

Introduction The Formovie P1 aims to be one of those good things that come in small packages. Formovie has managed to fit a powerful projector in a very small body, measuring 150.8 x 83 x 24.6mm and weighing in at just 300 grams. The P1 is a truly portable device that still packs a laser light source capable of an advertised brightness of 800 lumens. This enables an advertised projected image of up to 100 inches in diagonal, which is formidable. There is also a speaker on board, and the P1 has the capability to do automatic vertical keystone correction. It also offers easy wireless...



Week 21 in review: iPhone 16 Pro Max renders emerge, Xperia Compact foldable rumored

Another week down, here are the top headlines from our news section. We got our first look at the iPhone 16 Pro Max which should launch in the fall of 2024 with a 6.9-inch screen and the same Dynamic Island notch on the top. Next up from the rumor mill is news about an Xperia Compact foldable of the clamshell variety. The only other information we have is that the device will not feature a secondary screen. Infinix announced its Note 30 series smartphones. Note 30 brings a 6.78” LCD with a 120 Hz refresh rate, a Helio G99 chipset and a 5,000 mAh battery with 44W fast charging. Note 30 5G...



Weekly poll: are the Sony Xperia 1 V and Xperia 10 V on your shopping list?

As we’ve said before, Sony marches to the beat of its own drummer – while other brands rushed out Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 phones as soon as the chip was available, Sony just announced its first. Say “hello” to the Sony Xperia 1 V. Well, you’ll have to wait until the end of July until you can actually greet the Mark 5 flagship. With patience and €1,400/£1,300 in your wallet you too could own this prosumer camera phone. It’s not quite the Xperia Pro-I, but it’s not a run of the mill flagship either. This year Sony relented and moved away from the standard 12MP main camera it has been using for...



Weekly poll results: the Poco F5 gets showered with love, the F5 Pro proves less popular

As one commenter in last week’s poll says, the point of the Poco F-series is to deliver flagship performance at mid-range prices. Both the F5 models do that and while it’s not quite a 2023-level flagship performance, it comes really close. Of the pair, the vanilla Poco F5 is the breakout star – over half of the voters showed interest, it’s rare to see such a positive reaction. It beat its Pro sibling by a large margin, which is quite evident in the Pro’s own poll. The criticism of the F5 – it applies to the F5 Pro too – was predictable. Some aren’t happy with Poco/Xiaomi software...

Huawei Mate X3 and P60 are selling very well in China

Huawei is apparently enjoying great popularity and brand loyalty, particularly in the sales of two of its latest flagship devices. Huawei CBG CTO Bruce Lee announced during the recent Huawei Mobile Innovation Technology Media Communication Conference that the Mate X3 foldable is the top seller in China, whereas the P60 series are the top sellers in the country in the 4000 to 6000 yuan price segment. There might be an additional asterisk somewhere in these essentially internal, self-reported statistics, but regardless, we can’t deny that there is obviously some truth to the claims....



Samsung Galaxy A24 in for review

We got our hands on the new Samsung Galaxy A24 so let's do an unboxing. Like the rest of Samsung's lineup of midrangers, the A24 comes with naught but a cable in its box. The Galaxy A24 packs a decent punch for its very reasonable price - upfront, there's a 6.5-inch 90Hz Super AMOLED panel of 1080p resolution, inside there's a 6nm MediaTek Helio G99 with 4GB, 6GB or 8GB of RAM, as well as a 5,000mAh battery with 25W charging (but you'd need to source the charger). The phone is made of plastic and is reasonably weighty at 195g. That weight makes the phone feel solidly put together....



Google Pixel’s At a Glance to start showing ridesharing status updates

We’ve kind of known that this feature has been in the pipeline for some time, but now a “Ridesharing” toggle has started appearing on actual Pixel devices. It is located in the main At a Glance feature settings, and its description reads: “Shows the status of your ride”. At a Glance Ridesharing toggle It will show how far out a car is to your position on the Pixel’s lockscreen with the intention of saving you time from having to open the app or the notification shade for the same info. Both Uber and Lyft are supported by the new “Ridesharing” display feature. This brings the...



Xiaomi India extends warranty to two years on some of its older models

Don’t get overly excited about this since it is a very specific extension, only covering a total of five devices. The announcement was made on Discord, of all places, by Xiaomi India, and it covers the Redmi Note 10, Redmi Note 10 Pro, Redmi Note 10 Pro Max, Mi 11 Ultra and Poco X3 Pro. Extended warranty If you have purchased any of these devices in India in the last two years and are currently experiencing a selfie camera issue or a motherboard failure, then Xiaomi should take care of it under warranty. It is a small and very particular extension, which leads us to believe...



Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI) is back on the Google Play store and will be playable on May 29

If you are not in the know, the popular PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS (PUBG) franchise has been having plenty of problems with the government in India. The original version of the game was banned and taken down from both the Google Play Store and Apple App Store way back in the day due to security concerns and violence-related reasons. Those events were then followed by the Krafton company releasing a specific version of the game in the country, called Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI), which was also removed from mobile storefronts last year, once again due to security...



A new leak suggests iPhone 15 Pro Max will use the same main camera and display tech as the iPhone 14 Pro Max

If you've been around the rumor mill lately, then you'll probably know that one of the major expected innovations to arrive with the iPhone 15 Pro Max has been a new main camera, likely based on the Sony IMX903, 1" sensor. The latest industry insider tip, however, claims that the iPhone 15 will stick with the same IMX803, 48MP 1/1.28", Quad-Bayer camera that the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max already have. iPhone 15 Pro MaxM12 Panel(Same as 14PM)imx803(Same as 14PM)3nm A17 BionicLPDDR5 8GB😔— Revegnus (@Tech_Reve) May 27, 2023 That's a bit of a bummer, and so is the rumor that the iPhone 15...



Motorola Razr 40 allegedly shows up on GeekBench and 3C websites, revealing some specs

We already know quite a bit about the upcoming Moto Razr 40 Ultra. The last major leak revealed its entire specs sheet and also included high-res renders of the phone. We expect to see the Razr 40 Ultra unveiled on June 1 alongside another less-premium device – a vanilla Moto Rarz 40. The regular Razr 40 is a bit more of a mystery. We do have some alleged images and pricing, but today also brings some alleged specs leaks. Motorola Razr 40 leaks A phone going by the XT2323-3 model number was spotted on GeekBench and the 3C websites. The leaks aren’t particularly...

vivo Y36 goes official in 4G and 5G versions

vivo introduced a new phone today, and its first launch is in Indonesia. We're talking about the Y36, which comes to succeed the Y35 from last August. The model has intriguingly been announced in two variants - one 4G, one 5G, although only the former has so far been listed on its official website for Indonesia. The only differences between the two are the chipset used and the names of the colorways they're going to be offered in: the 4G model gets the Snapdragon 680, and Glitter Aqua and Meteor Black, while the 5G iteration comes with MediaTek's Dimensity 6020 in Crystal Green and Mystic...



OnePlus Nord N30 5G runs Geekbench with Snapdragon 695 SoC on board

The OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite has been released last month, and we've since heard that it would at some point land in the US under a different name - Nord N30 5G. The version with this name has, in fact, already been spotted in the Google Play Console, so the launch is definitely near. That assumption has been further cemented today by the fact that the Nord N30 5G has been spotted in the Geekbench database, with the model number CPH2513. As you can see, the prototype which ran the benchmark managed a single-core score of 888 and a multi-core score of 2,076. It's powered by the...



Xiaomi Redmi K60 Ultra leaked schematics reveal design

Xiaomi is yet to announce the Redmi K60 Ultra for the Chinese market, which will eventually reach other markets as Xiaomi 13T Pro, and the famous tipster Digital Chat Station offers a sneak peek of its design with some schematics. The image alone isn't enough to gives us the full picture, but at least it gives us an idea of what to look for in the coming weeks. The alleged Xiaomi 13T Pro is depicted with thin bezels and a centered punch-hole for the front-facing camera while the back accommodates a square-ish camera module with two large-looking camera sensors and a third small one...

YouTube to abandon Stories next month

YouTube Stories will cease to exist from June 26. The temporary post medium is being phased out and all YouTube Stories shared on June 26 will expire in seven days’ time. The accompanying community post suggests that YouTube is removing Stories in favor of YouTube Shorts and Community posts. YouTube Stories demo YouTube believes its Community posts are great for sharing “lightweight updates” and starting discussions among followers while Shorts offer more traffic and subscribers than Stories. YouTube Stories was initially introduced back in 2017 as Reels before its rebrand to...

OnePlus 12 specs leak

The OnePlus 11, which is currently the Chinese company's flagship device, launched back in January. Its successor is already being worked on, as it turns out, and it will unsurprisingly be called OnePlus 12. According to a new leak from a usually reliable source, the OnePlus 12 will be launched in China in December. The "in China" qualifier is important because the global release might happen a few weeks (or months) after that. OnePlus 11 The phone is currently in engineering sample form, and in this form it sports the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset at the helm, a 6.7-inch QHD...



Mobvoi TicWatch 5 Pro announced with new SoC, improved health tracking

Mobvoi announced the TicWatch 5 Pro, which is the first wearable from this year's flagship lineup. The new device succeeds the TicWatch 3 Pro and offers improvements in many aspects. However, Mobvoi's main focus remains health tracking to compete with the very best in the industry. That's why the company launched its new and improved health app alongside the device. The TicWatch Pro 5 is the first to employ Qualcomm's Snapdragon W5+ Gen 1 chip promising improved performance and efficiency. The display is 1.43" in size, using OLED panel protected by Gorilla Glass and an additional...



Nreal changes name to Xreal, launches new Spatial Display and screen casting gadget

Today almost everyone interacts with the digital world through the 2D display of their smartphone or computer. But the future may be a lot more immersive with head-mounted displays that look a lot like ordinary sunglasses. Nreal, the current leader in the AR segment, believes that is the way forward and is launching a pair of products that can work together to add AR capabilities to almost anything – the Xreal Spatial Display and the Xreal Beam. The company is throwing its whole weight behind these products and is even changing its name to “Xreal” to match. The Xreal Spatial Display is the...

As per the Counterpoint Reaserch report, major players such as Apple, Samsung and Huawei all saw negative shipment volumes in Q1 2023 driven by lower demand for tech products amid the difficult economic landscape. Top 3 Smartwatch Brands, Q1 2022 vs Q1 2023 India served as the only bright spot in the smartwatch market with a 121% year-over-year growth in shipments fueled by high demand for entry-level smartwatches....



Samsung starts testing Galaxy S23 FE European firmware

Samsung has reportedly begun testing the Galaxy S23 FE European firmware. This is a firm prerequisite to launching the phone, but it's worth noting that so far Samsung is allegedly testing only the EU firmware, not the US and South Korean versions. The report continues to say that the Galaxy S23 FE will take a few months to finalize before it can go on sale. It means that the Galaxy S23 FE will likely come out after the Galaxy Z Fold5 and Z Flip5, which have begun firmware testing months ago. Samsung is expected to unveil the two new foldables in July and start selling them in early...



Moto Razr 40 Ultra leaks in full video ad

Canon announces entry-level EOS R100 camera for $480

Canon has announced the EOS R100, the company's most affordable entry in the EOS R series. Aside from the more expensive EOS R50, the R100 is now the only other crop sensor camera in the series.

iPhones running iOS 17 to be usable as smart displays when locked

iOS 17 is coming later this year alongside new iPhones, and a new report today from the generally very reliable Mark Gurman at Bloomberg sheds some light on what we can expect from Apple's next OS version, aside from performance improvements all-round. Perhaps the most intriguing new feature will be the ability to use your locked iPhone running iOS 17 pretty much like a smart display. It will show calendar appointments, weather information, and notifications in a new style reminiscent of an independent smart display. This view will allegedly only appear when the iPhone is in...



Samsung Galaxy S23 FE now rumored to arrive before the Galaxy Z Flip5 and Fold5

The sales of Samsung's Galaxy S23 family went down significantly this month, according to a new report from a leakster on Twitter. Rumor has it sales for the full second quarter (April to June) of the Korean company's flagship slab-style line will be down 20% compared to what the Galaxy S22 series managed last year. This seems to be down to lower than expected demand from "general consumers". The early adopters all bought their brand new devices by March, and after that apparently not many others wanted in on Samsung's latest and greatest. This is obviously far from ideal, and it allegedly...

OnePlus 11 Marble Odyssey limited-edition announced for India

OnePlus today announced a limited-edition OnePlus 11 Marble Odyssey for the Indian market. This variant is essentially a rebranded version of the OnePlus 11 Jupiter Rock edition for China that we have covered in the past.

We are not sure what the exact chemical composition of this material is but OnePlus claims that it is difficult to make with 25% production efficiency of the standard glass panels and only 50% of its yield.

Huawei nova Y91 gets official with iPhone-like notch and huge battery
