It's official 😉— Pete Lau (@PeteLau) February 28, 2023 “Our first foldable phone will have the signature OnePlus fast and smooth experience.

OnePlus 11 doesn't snap in half in bend test, even though its rear glass cracks

Last year, both the OnePlus 10 Pro and the OnePlus 10T managed to crack and snap in half when subjected to the now-classic JerryRigEverything bend test. There's a smallish number of devices that have ever failed that test, and having two of them do it in a year isn't a great ad for the brand's focus on durability, even though these tests are way more extreme than what most people might subject their phones to in day-to-day life (unless you like to put it in your back pocket, caseless, and have a tendency to forget it's there and sit on it). So, with all this in mind, you're probably...



It's official: Nothing Phone (2) will use a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 series chipset

Nothing didn't want to be left out of the media spotlight this week what with all the announcements happening at MWC in Barcelona, so it started its teaser campaign for the upcoming Phone (2) in earnest. We're expecting to be drip-fed tidbits of information about the new device over the next few weeks or months, since that's a strategy that Nothing CEO Carl Pei loves and has employed many times before, including at OnePlus before founding Nothing. It all starts with the chipset. The Nothing Phone (2) will use Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 series. Nothing Phone (1) Unfortunately the...



Hands-on: Honor Magic5

So, you saw Honor Magic4’s awesome cameras but wished the company made a smaller flagship this year? Wish granted! Although you really should have been more specific with your wish – the Honor Magic5 is smaller but only just. Last year’s Magic4 was almost exactly the same size as its Pro sibling. This year the Magic5 has a screen that’s 0.08” smaller and the phone itself is shorter, narrower and thinner by about a millimeter. So, while it’s technically smaller, it’s hard to quantify the difference even when you have both the vanilla and the Pro phones in your hand. One thing you will...



Xiaomi 13 Lite review



Samsung Galaxy A14 4G goes official with 50MP camera and 5,000 mAh battery

Samsung introduced the Galaxy A14 5G earlier last month, which comes with Exynos 1330 or Dimensity 700 SoC depending on the market. Now the company has unveiled its 4G version, which looks similar to the Galaxy A14 5G but packs different hardware. For starters, the Samsung Galaxy A14 4G is expectedly powered by a different chip. Samsung hasn't mentioned the name on its official website, but it could be the Helio G80 SoC. The screen refresh rate has also come down from 90Hz to 60Hz. While the Samsung Galaxy A14 4G sports a 13MP selfie camera like its 5G counterpart, its triple camera...

Spotify is killing the heart icon, replacing it with a plus

Spotify has announced that it's killing the heart icon today. But don't worry, it's all for a higher purpose. Before, you had the heart icon "to mark the songs you wanted to save", Spotify says in a blog post, and the "Add to playlist" icon to add tracks or episodes to your favorite playlist. From now on, you'll have one plus icon instead. When you hit plus, you're able to save and choose the destination for any song, playlist, or podcast, with one simple tap. To save a song or podcast episode, tap the plus button. After your choice has been successfully added to Liked Songs...



The iPhone SE isn't dead anymore, to be resurrected as iPhone 14 clone for next year

Back in early January, we heard that Apple supposedly killed the iPhone SE line. Now, less than two months later, we hear from the same source that it's been revived. Famed purveyor of Apple-related rumors and analysis Ming-Chi Kuo is back with a report today stating that the next iPhone SE will be built on the iPhone 14's chassis, with a same-size 6.1-inch OLED display. And thus this would be the first iPhone SE to go with OLED and not LCD. The panel may be manufactured by BOE. iPhone 14 Furthermore, it will be the first iPhone to use Apple's own in-house developed 5G baseband...



Xiaomi Wireless AR Glass Discovery Edition showcased at MWC

Xiaomi has a pretty big presence at this year’s MWC conference and on top of the global launch for the Xiaomi 13 series phones we also got a showcase for a pair of augmented reality (AR) glasses.

US-bound TCL 40 X, TCL 40 XE, TCL 40 XL hands-on at MWC 2023

The TCL 40 X series was introduced at MWC 2023 with an accent on cost-saving while providing important features like a big battery and 5G (limited to some devices). We are in Barcelona and got a hold of three of the new phones - TCL 40 X, TCL 40 XE, and TCL 40 XL, which are all meant for the US market. The first two have 5G connectivity, but in order to keep the price low, TCL kept the RAM and storage down to 4/64 GB. The third lacks 5G but compensates with a bigger screen and more storage. Here’s what impressed us in each device. TCL 40 X This is the most intriguing of the three,...



Watch the Honor Magic5 series launch live

Honor is having a launch party today, and we will see the announcement of the Magic5 series, as well as the global debut of the Magic Vs foldable. The company is hosting the event as part of MWC in Barcelona, and it will begin at 1:30 PM CET. The company provided a live stream which we embedded below. The broadcast will begin 30 minutes earlier. The Magic5 series is expected to bring at least two devices at launch - a vanilla Honor Magic5 and a proper flagship called Magic5 Pro. There may or may not be a Magic5 Ultimate with even mightier cameras than the Pro, although last year,...

Xiaomi shares a list of smartphones soon to receive MIUI 14

Toward the end of the Xiaomi 13 series launch event at MWC 2023, the company announced a list of 18 devices that should soon get MIUI 14. And even though Xiaomi calls it a "rollout schedule" it provided no time frame. All we learned is the rollout starts by the end of Q1, but chances are most of the phones on the list will wait much longer than that. In any case, we mostly see higher-end devices in there, along with some midrangers under the Redmi branding. It's important to note that this is not a final list and more devices will get their MIUI 14 serving in the future. Also, the...



Nokia changes its logo to mark the start of a new era

After Pekka Lundmark took over Nokia's telecom equipment arm, the CEO laid out a three-phase plan - reset, accelerate and scale. With the first part of the plan over, Nokia will now focus on accelerating and it's changing its logo for the first time in 60 years to signal the strategy shift. Nokia's new logo Nokia is ditching the blue color and it's replacing it with whatever is more appropriate given the situation, meaning no specific color scheme is assigned. Lundmark said that Nokia is no longer just a smartphone company, but a "business technology company". There was the...



TCL 40 XE is the company's new cheapest 5G phone, 40 X and 40 XL tag along

TCL unveiled a trio of affordable phones for the European and Asian markets at CES earlier this year, the TCL 40 SE, the 408 and the 403. All three are 4G-only models that focus on keeping costs low. Now at the MWC the company is unveiling more phones in the 40 series, some of which have 5G and all of which are affordable with prices of $200 and below. The new additions include TCL’s cheapest 5G phone to date ($170). TCL 40 X 5G This one isn’t it – at $200, the TCL 40 X 5G costs slightly more, but it also delivers better camera hardware. Well, there is the one proper camera on the back...



Xiaomi 13, Xiaomi 13 Pro go international at MWC

The Xiaomi 13 and Xiaomi 13 Pro were launched in China last year, and today at MWC, the company finally brought the flagships to the international scene. At a glamorous event, the two phones with Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipsets and Leica cameras began their global rollout. The Xiaomi 13 comes with a 6.36” compact OLED with Full HD+ resolution and up to 1,900 nits advertised maximum brightness.

Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra goes up against the Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max in a speed test

The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra unveiled earlier this month passed through our review gauntlet with flying colors, making it one of the best Android smartphones to buy right now. On the iOS side of the fence, we have the Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max, which is also one of the best smartphones available in the market. But how do the Galaxy S23 Ultra and iPhone 14 Pro Max fare against each other in a side-by-side speed test? Well, the folks at PhoneBuff find that out with the help of a robot. We don't want to spoil the fun for you by revealing the speed test's end result, but we'd like you to...



The Nokia C22 and C32 announced with three-day battery life

Nokia G22 is official with focus on repairability and sustainability

Today, HMD announced the 4G Nokia G22 with a key focus on repairability and sustainability. Let's explore that first, then we'll lay down the specs. The Nokia G22 is for the smartphone owner that wants to hold onto his phone for the longest possible time. According to market research numbers the leading cause for people to change their phone is that it broke and that in most cases it was due to a broken display or a degraded battery, so HMD focused on making those as easy as to replace as possible. A battery replacement of the Nokia G22 takes around 5 minutes and all the tools you...



Apple iPhone 15 Plus' CAD-based renders surface showing Dynamic Island and USB-C

Last week, CAD-based renders of the Apple iPhone 15 Pro surfaced, showing the phone's thinner bezels, curvier design, and USB-C port. And a few days ago, we saw the vanilla iPhone 15 with Dynamic Island. Now, we are looking at the CAD renders of the Plus model, which too features Dynamic Island. This means the entire iPhone lineup this year will sport Dynamic Island, which wasn't the case last year since the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus retained the notch. Like the vanilla and Pro models, the Apple iPhone 15 Plus has a new body design with slightly rounded edges and a USB-C port replacing...

Sony Xperia 10 V renders leak showing familiar design

Sony's Xperia 10 IV mid-ranger was announced last May and released in June, and so naturally we expect the Xperia 10 V to take its place at some point in the next few months. Today, a bunch of high quality CAD-based renders of the upcoming model have been leaked by a traditionally reliable source. If you were expecting a fresh new design compared to the 2022 model, you're in for quite the disappointment. The Xperia 10 V shown in these images has the exact same design language as the Xperia 10 IV, right down to button positioning, camera island size and shape, and LED flash...



Motorola Edge 30 Fusion in Viva Magenta hands-on review

The Motorola Edge 30 Fusion has been around for over 5 months, initially coming in four colors - Cosmic Gray, Aurora White, Solar Gold, and a Neptune Blue Vegan Leather option.

Apple gives iPad OLED order to Samsung and LG, no BOE in sight

Apple is expected to skip the announcement of new iPad Pro devices this year and will bring them in early 2024. The biggest change will be a switch from LCD to OLED, and according to Korean sources, Cupertino will place the orders for the panels with Samsung and LG. The deal between Apple and display maker BOE is still being negotiated, effectively putting the Chinese manufacturer out of the game, at least for the initial push. Apple’s flagship tablet product sold more than 70 million units during the previous fiscal year. Between October and December 2022, the company saw $9.4...



The new Cat S75 is a rugged phone with 2-way messaging over satellite built in

As promised, the Bullitt Group has unveiled the first phone with 2-way satellite messaging. Well, two phones, actually, the Cat S75 and the Motorola defy 2. We’ll cover the Motorola in a separate post. Before we dive into the specs of Cat S75, we should explain the direct-to-satellite communication feature as that is a unique selling point. Unlike Apple’s solution which is only for contacting emergency services, this one allows you to message friends and family from faraway locations – be it a desert or the middle of the ocean. You will be able to send a text to any cellphone user....



Meizu 20 Pro possibly spotted in AnTuTu results with Snapdragon 8 Gen 2

A couple of weeks ago Meizu confirmed that it is working on a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 phone that is equipped with LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage. Today this phone – or perhaps one of several phones – was discovered by the AnTuTu team, who found a test run result. The phone, model number m2391, does indeed feature Qualcomm’s top mobile chip. This particular unit was configured with 12GB of RAM and 512GB storage, though there should be other configurations.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 due for a new hinge mechanism says tipster

The latest rumor about the Galaxy Z Fold5 comes from reputable leakster Ice Universe and it addresses a key new addition to the upcoming foldable – its reworked hinge mechanism. The new info confirms Samsung will use a new waterdrop-style hinge for the Fold5 which is not the first time we’re heard about this development. We saw a similar report from South Korean publication Naver News last month. The Samsung Display “droplet” folding hinge mechanism will allow the folding panel on the Fold5 to form a droplet shape inside the hinge body which will prevent the crease between the two...

Here's the iPhone 15 Pro in its hero dark red color

For devices that are only supposed to come out in September, which is more than half a year away still at this point, the next iPhones sure enjoy leaking. Earlier today we saw some CAD renders of the iPhone 15, following on from the other renders from last week, and today we have one more generated image for you to look at. This is the iPhone 15 Pro, rendered in what is now rumored to be its hero color. It's a very dark red with a hex color code of #410D0D. Note that this rendering of the phone is only intended to showcase the exact hue that Apple plans on using to make its Pro and Pro Max...



New OnePlus Nord 3 leaked specs contradict previously outed ones

A couple of weeks ago we brought you a list of purportedly leaked specs for the upcoming OnePlus Nord 3, and today a different (and usually more reliable) source is out with another set of leaked specs for the same phone, only they differ significantly in some aspects. Obviously, we can't tell you which one is more accurate, so keep that in mind. Anyway, let's dive in. The OnePlus Nord 3 is now said to pack a 6.72-inch FHD+ 120Hz AMOLED display, the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 SoC at the helm, and a 5,000 mAh battery with 80W fast charging.

Podcasts will be available to all users, free or Premium, and free tiers will get the usual ad-supported playback with background audio support. Audio-first shows will also get a special podcast badge to highlight them. “If someone wants to watch a podcast, we have a solution,” Chuk said. “If someone wants to listen to a podcast only, we should have a great...



Samsung unveils Exynos modem with support for 2-way communication over satellite

Samsung has joined the race to enable 2-way communication over satellite on smartphones.

The new modem implements the standard 3GPP Release 17 to ensure interoperability with emerging telecom networks and the hardware and software developed by smartphone makers.

Realme's version of Apple's Dynamic Island shown in leaked images

Ever since Apple introduced the Dynamic Island concept to its iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max back in September, the clock started ticking. Admit it - we've all been waiting anxiously, with bated breath, to find out how quickly an Android device maker would ape the feature. And what company would win this dubious race. Today, courtesy of some leaked images coming from internal company documents, we know it's Realme. The Oppo spinoff/offshoot/sub-brand/whatever it wants to call itself this week is apparently hard at work cloning - no, we mean, getting inspired by - Apple's homework....



Xiaomi 13 Ultra case leaks showing humongous camera island

At the end of this week, Xiaomi is announcing international availability for the 13 and 13 Pro that it initially unveiled in China in December. And yet, the family is obviously missing an Ultra. The company's CEO may have said there won't be a 13S Ultra this year, but he mentioned nothing about the 13 Ultra, which has seen a steadily increasing number of leaks in recent weeks. The Xiaomi 12S Ultra was unveiled in July of 2022, so its successor still has plenty of time to arrive. Today a couple of images depicting a case which is purportedly meant for the upcoming Xiaomi 13 Ultra have been...

Realme GT Neo 5 Lite version incoming, tipster reveals

Realme introduced the GT Neo 5 with Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset and the world’s fastest charging for a smartphone earlier this month. Reports from China suggest the company is working on a phone, probably called GT Neo 5 SE or GT Neo 5 Lite, which will have slightly downgraded specs. According to the credible leakster Digital Chat Station, the phone will pack the still-unannounced Qualcomm SM7475 SoC, rumored to be a Snapdragon 7 Gen 2. It will also skip the 50MP camera with Sony IMX890 sensor and the RGB notification light on the back, which will enable a signficant price...



Bixby update is bringing Text Call support in English, custom wake words

Samsung introduced the Bixby Text Call feature with One UI 5, but that initial version was limited only to Korean. Now the company is updating its virtual assistant to also handle calls in English. In case you missed this feature, Text Call basically turns voice calls into text chats. It listens to what the other side says and transcribes it into text, then lets you type in a response that will be spoken by the text to speech system. This is similar to Google’s Screen Call feature. This is handy for environments where you can’t talk, e.g. it’s too noisy or the opposite, you don’t want...

Motorola ThinkPhone in for review

Say hello to the Motorola ThinkPhone or as some call it - the Lenovo ThinkPhone by Motorola - we won't though. It's clearly a Motorola phone but the ThinkPad-styling is also evident. Underneath the all-black carbon fiber (that's the only option available) is a design akin to the Moto G72. But there's more to the ThinkPhone than just a paint job. Let's do an unboxing before we continue. The Motorola ThinkPhone ships with a 68W charger and a USB cable. There's no case in the box but you probably shouldn't cover this stylish phone with one. You don't need to either - the ThinkPhone is...



Tecno Spark 10C surfaces on Google Play Console with key specs

Google Pixel Fold will be heavier than the Galaxy Z Fold4, packing a bigger battery

Google's first foldable smartphone has been rumored for a very long time now, but it's due to finally launch this year. We've already seen it in leaked CAD-based renders, and today a new report talks about its weight. Apparently, the Pixel Fold will be heavier than Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold4, the device that's in effect going to serve as its main competitor. That may be connected, at least to some extent, to the other tidbit that got outed today, namely that the Pixel Fold will have a bigger battery than the Samsung. We're not told exactly how much bigger, only that "the battery size...
