Apple Vision Pro battery specs revealed

The Apple Vision Pro reviews are in, and so we finally know its battery's specs. Back when pre-orders started, Apple only revealed that the battery was good for two hours of "general use", and 2.5 hours of video watching. It turns out those estimates were pretty accurate, perhaps even underpromising a tad. And yet, you may have been left wondering, all this time, what the actual capacity of the battery is. Now the mystery is solved: it's 3,166 mAh. That doesn't sound like much, considering its size and 353g weight, but there's a twist. Vision Pro Battery specs:3166 MAh35.9 WhOutput 13V...

Samsung Galaxy Fit3 leaks again, this time on Samsung's own website

Xiaomi is king of the smartband space with the Mi Smart Band series, and Samsung wants to take some of its pie. At least in theory, as the oft-leaked Galaxy Fit3 is still not official. While we've heard rumors about it in 2022, things started to pick up last November, so hopefully this means the launch is near, rather than far. Today the Galaxy Fit3 has been leaked yet again, this time by Samsung itself - someone posted these images by accident, ahead of schedule, to a regional Samsung website. The Fit2 was launched in 2020, and so the Fit3 is way overdue. It will thankfully have...

Samsung is prepping both Galaxy M14 4G and Galaxy F14 4G for launch in India

Samsung launched the Galaxy F14 5G and the Galaxy M14 5G last March, and now, intriguingly, it's set to add 4G-only versions for both. The Galaxy M14 4G has a support page live at Samsung India, and both it and the Galaxy F14 4G's manuals have been found as well. It's important to note that these are most likely going to be the exact same device, sold under different names at different retailers. That is, in fact, the case with the Galaxy F14 5G and Galaxy M14 5G - the only difference being the former opting out of the latter's depth sensor on the rear. Samsung Galaxy M14 4G listed on...

Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra passes bend test with flying colors

Samsung's official shipping date for the Galaxy S24 Ultra is today, even though we've seen it become available a bit early in some places. So now that you can just go and grab one from a store without the need to pre-order, you may be wondering how that titanium build holds up - the new Gorilla Armor too. Thankfully, Zack over at JerryRigEverything has just the video for you, making the S24 Ultra undergo his traditional 'durability test' which involves scratches, burns, and of course - the bend test. Let's grab some popcorn and watch it together. In case you couldn't watch for...

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 to have a bigger battery than the Flip5

One of the issues people have constantly had with Samsung's Flip line of foldable smartphones is battery life, owing to the rather small cells fitted into all of them - the Galaxy Z Flip5 launched last summer has to make do with just 3,700 mAh, for example. Samsung seems to have been listening, and will increase the capacity for the upcoming Galaxy Z Flip6, expected to become official at the middle of this year. According to a new report, the next Flip will reach 4,000 mAh. Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 That's still less than Oppo's Find N3 Flip which features a 4,300 mAh battery, but...

OnePlus Nord N30 SE 5G goes official with Dimensity 6020

The OnePlus Nord N30 SE 5G has an absurdly long name and it’s the latest device to launch in the Nord lineup.

vivo X100 Pro price in Europe revealed

vivo's very slow international rollout of its X100 Pro flagship smartphone continues. This phone was announced for China in November, where it promptly launched that same month, then it made its global debut in mid-December, then it launched in India earlier this month. And now it's finally almost available in Europe. It's still not listed on any of vivo's European websites, but the company did announce the pricing at least. The X100 Pro will go for €1,199, which might be more than you were expecting considering that its Indian price translates into approximately €998. Those are the weird...

Here's Apple's new ad for the Vision Pro headset

Apple made the Vision Pro headset official last June, following years and years of rumors about such a product. On January 19, the company finally started taking pre-orders, with initial shipments scheduled for February 2. In the meantime, however, the shipping estimates have slipped into weeks, given the headset's popularity - it's estimated that over 180,000 units have been pre-ordered. So clearly, people are intrigued by the Vision Pro. While it may not be a mass-market product yet, with its price and convoluted ordering procedure, it's definitely making a lot of people interested. Now...

Realme 12 Pro duo comes with a telephoto camera, 12 Pro+ adds a periscope lens

Realme 12 Pro and 12 Pro+ are now official with telephoto lenses – a first for the number series. The duo was announced for the first time in India, and both variants have a luxurious variant developed jointly with Swiss watchmaker Ollivier Saveo.

Watch the Realme 12 Pro and 12 Pro+ announcement here

The Realme 12 Pro and Realme 12 Pro+ smartphones are making their official debut today. The duo is going global from the start, which is a fresh change from the China-first policy with the previous number series. The launch is set for noon in India (6:30 GMT), and as we've seen in multiple teasers, Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan is a brand ambassador, and at least one of the phones will have a Rolex Submariner-like look. The Realme 12 Pro will be announced as the first phone with a Sony IMX882 sensor, while the Realme 12 Pro+ is getting a 50 MP Sony IMX890 for the main camera...

Top 10 trending phones of week 4

Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra makes it 4 out of 4 this year, occupying the top of our trending chart in every week of 2024. There is a change behind it as the vanilla Galaxy S24 is now third, trading places with the Redmi Note 13 Pro that took the silver medal this time round. [#InlinePriceWidget, 12771, 1#] OnePlus 12's global debut helped catapult it to fourth, while the Redmi Note 13 Pro+ retains the fifth position from last week. Poco X6 Pro slides to sixth, ahead of the Redmi Note 13. Samsung Galaxy A54 takes eight, while the Realme 12 Pro+ reached the ninth spot even though it's...

Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro+ battery life test

We're done testing the battery life of the Redmi Note 13 Pro+ - the highest standing member of the current Redmi Note lineup. It packs a 5,000mAh battery and manages to pull numbers nearly identical to its predecessor, the Redmi Note 12 Pro+. With an Active Use Score of 10 hours and 38 minutes, the Redmi Note 13 Pro+ has good battery life but not great. The likes of the Poco X6 Pro, and Xiaomi 13T managed better numbers in all four tests with the same 5,000mAh battery packs. Browsing and video playback, in particular, were underwhelming. On a positive note, the Redmi Note 13 Pro+...

Weekly poll: will you buy an Honor Magic V2 now that it has arrived in Europe?

It has been half a year since the Honor Magic V2 was released in China, but at long last the phone has arrived in Europe with an event on Friday. Honor tried to get to the European launch faster than it did with the Magic Vs, however, it actually ended up being slower (the Vs was unveiled in China in November 2022 and got to Europe in February 2023). Better late than never, we guess. The Honor Magic V2 is well liked by our team. You only need to look at the dimensions to understand why – it measures 156.7 x 74.1 x 9.9mm and 231g when closed. For comparison, the Galaxy S24 Ultra is 162.3 x...

Weekly poll results: Galaxy S24 Ultra is great but pricey, S24+ attracts owners of older S+ phones

Which phone is the shining star of the Galaxy S series? Last week’s poll shows that it’s still the Ultra, but plus model is gaining ground – especially when it comes to people looking to upgrade from an older model. Galaxy S24 • Galaxy S24+ • Galaxy S24 Ultra The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is a moderate upgrade over the S23 Ultra, itself not a huge improvement over the S22 Ultra. So, when it comes to the S24 Ultra (and the vanilla S24, which we will look at in a minute), around 15% are sticking with their current Galaxy S phone. Around as many are looking at other flagships...

nubia Z60 Ultra battery life test

We're done testing the battery life of the nubia Z60 Ultra. It scored a solid 16 hours in our active use score, which breaks down in 30 hours of calls, 13 hours of browsing, nearly 21 hours of video playback, and nearly 11 hours of gaming. The gaming number is among the most impressive we've seen, only really bested by the Z60 Ultra's stablemate nubia Red Magic 9 Pro, another Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 phone, but one with nearly 10% more battery at 6,500mAh. The nubia Z60 Ultra did well in the web browsing too, although it didn't top the charts there. Its 13 hours are more than the vivo X100...

OnePlus 12 and 12R launch in India, the Redmi Note 13 series is already here

The OnePlus 12 and 12R are almost here – shipments in India will start on February 6. The flagship model combines the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 with a 6.82” QHD+ 10-bit 120Hz LTPO display and a fairly powerful camera system (50MP main, 64MP 3x tele and 48MP ultra wide). The 5,400mAh battery showed solid endurance (though it doesn’t last long when gaming), plus it’s super fast to charge back up either over a wire (100W) or wirelessly (50W).

Honor V Purse review

There’s a clear divide when it comes to folding phones with the more compact flip models often marketed as trendy fashion accessories while the larger book-style foldables are aimed at power users who need space for multi-tasking on the go. Honor decided to try and fuse both style and productivity with its V Purse and we finally got to spend some time with the device to see how it fares in the day-to-day. Honor CEO George Zhao described the V Purse as a “phy-digital fashion statement” back at its unveiling - a digital purse with interchangeable straps that also happens to be a large...

Honor Magic V2 RSR Porsche Design is coming to Europe

Earlier today, Honor finally launched the Magic V2 in Europe, almost five months after its initial announcement. Don't miss our unboxing. If you're familiar with Honor's product roster, then surely you know about the Magic V2 RSR Porsche Design. This was first introduced a couple of weeks ago. During the launch event for the 'vanilla' Magic V2 in Europe, Honor thankfully confirmed that the RSR edition is also on its way to Europe. Unfortunately, the company hasn't revealed any more details about how much it will cost or exactly when we should expect it. Hopefully it won't take five...

Huawei launches Enjoy 70 internationally as nova Y72

Huawei introduced the entry-level Enjoy 70 back in December and is now launching the phone in overseas markets under a new name – Huawei nova Y72.

Apple opens up iOS to alternative app stores in the EU

Forced by the EU's Digital Markets Act, Apple has today announced that it's making big changes to iOS, the App Store, and how browsers work on the platform. These changes will become available in the EU with the iOS 17.4 release which is scheduled to land in March. Let's start with browsing. Even today you can select a default browser that isn't Safari, but any browser that isn't Safari has to use Safari's WebKit rendering engine. That will change, every browser can use whatever engine it wants. Additionally, after EU iPhone owners install iOS 17.4, the first time they go into Safari they...

Google launches new Mint color for the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro

Last week Google teased a new colorway for its Pixel 8 Pro, which was due to launch on January 25. In the meantime we've seen it in leaked press images, and now it's finally official. So, you can purchase a Google Pixel 8 or Pixel 8 Pro in the new color called Mint, exclusively from the Google online store and Google Fi in the US.

Meizu 21 Pro incoming next month with a triple 50 MP camera

The Meizu 21 arrived in late 2023, but we never saw a Pro variant on stage. Reports from China suggested the Meizu 21 Pro will arrive in February and revealed some key features of the new phone. The company, owned by automaker Geely, will bring a device with revamped cameras, 16 GB RAM and 1 TB storage. Meizu 21 The source claimed the main camera will have a 50 MP sensor. There will also be a 13 MP ultra-wide-angle shooter, and there should also be a telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom and periscope lens.

Samsung Galaxy S24, S24+, and S24 Ultra are already on sale in India

Samsung's Galaxy S24, S24+, and S24 Ultra have already broken pre-order records in India, with more than 250,000 logged in the first three days.

Nokia G42 gets Android 14 in India

As we mentioned when we discussed Motorola's intentions regarding updates to Android 14, we'll say it again - there are some Android device makers who are very good at issuing updates (Google and Samsung come to mind), and there are some like Motorola and HMD Global. The latter has finally started pushing Android 14 today to the Nokia G42, which was announced last June. This is the first HMD device to receive the new OS version launched by Google many months ago, and hopefully it won't be the last - although HMD hasn't yet published a list of eligible phones. Nokia G42 Android 14...

First Google Pixel 9 Pro renders reveal a smaller display, new camera island

Google released the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro in October 2023, and now is looking ahead towards the Pixel 9 lineup. According to the first CAD-based renders, the Pixel 9 Pro should have a smaller screen, flat panels and sides, and a camera bump that no longer spans from one end to the other. Google Pixel 9 Pro renders The leaksters revealed the screen will be a 6.5” panel, compared with the 6.7” OLED on the predecessor. However, the entire body will be basically the same size, meaning the bezels will be slightly thicker. Google Pixel 9 Pro renders Google relied on a...

Asus Zenfone 11 shows up in the Google Play Console with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3

Last year there was a rumor going round, saying that Asus would discontinue the Zenfone line and thus the Zenfone 10 would be the last of the diminutive flagships in the company's roster. Thankfully for those who are into smaller phones, Asus itself quickly denied the rumor, and that was that. Now, the Google Play Console comes to further prove the point that Asus has not given up on the Zenfones, by listing the upcoming Zenfone 11. The Zenfone 10 was announced in June 2023 and released the following month, so we're probably still quite far removed from the official introduction of...

Samsung is thinking about making a cheaper Galaxy Z Fold6

According to a new rumor out of its home market of Korea, Samsung is considering releasing a cheaper version of the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold6. This isn't to say the Fold6 itself will be cheaper - but it might be joined by a cheaper option. This is the first time Samsung has ever considered developing a lower-cost foldable, the source of this rumor says. Interestingly, the reason for choosing the Fold line for this move and not the Flip is that the Flips that have launched so far are selling much more. So with a cheaper Fold, the Fold line could be reinvigorated. Samsung Galaxy Z...

OnePlus 12 video teardown shows massive cooling system inside

Today, the OnePlus 12 and OnePlus 12R made their global debut. OnePlus has repeatedly talked about the OnePlus 12's massive internal cooling system, and a new teardown video lets us see just how big it actually is. Before we get to it, however, we first need to open up the phone somehow - and that's done from the back, using a heat gun. This shows us the 50W wireless charger, which, interestingly, makes it the fastest wireless charging phone in North America. The bottom speaker and battery come out next, and then it's time to gawk at the cooling system - after removing the...

Moto G04 and Moto G24 announced with 6.6" IPS LCDs and Android 14

Motorola announced two new affordable Moto G phones in Europe with the Moto G04 and Moto G24. Both phones feature 6.6-inch IPS LCDs with a 90Hz refresh rate, Android 14, 5,000 mAh batteries and plastic frames. Moto G04 has a Unisoc T606 chipset paired with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage.

Apple releases iOS 17.3 with Stolen Device Protection

Today Apple has released iOS 17.3 and iPadOS 17.3 to supported devices. As always with Apple mobile OS updates, these should already be available to everyone who wants them - no staggered shenanigans here like over in Google-land. The new iOS update brings with it the new Stolen Device Protection feature. This feature brings an additional layer of security if someone has stolen your device and also has your passcode. Using Stolen Device Protection, Face ID or Touch ID is required to access saved passwords, while changing sensitive settings like your Apple ID password or your device...

OnePlus 12's cameras get detailed ahead of the phone's global debut

In less than 24 hours, OnePlus will finally introduce the OnePlus 12 for international markets, following the phone's initial announcement for China back in December. So now is a great time to talk about its cameras, OnePlus has thought, since it just put out a press release that's all about them. Let's dive in, shall we? The OnePlus 12 "will boast an industry-firt" customized Sony LYT-808 main camera, with a 1/1.4-inch sensor. The size lets it absorb 50% more light than the IMX890 main sensor used in the OnePlus 11, which should ensure exceptional performance in low-light or...

Exynos 2500 specs leak

Samsung's Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24+ feature the Korean company's own Exynos 2400 SoC in some markets, and these were just unveiled last week. And yet, we already have a leak about the upcoming Exynos 2500 chipset, which is due to be used in the Galaxy S25 family a year from now. The CPU will allegedly keep the 10-core configuration of the Exynos 2400, but the 2500 will use ARM's upcoming CPU cores. It will be made on Samsung's second-generation 3nm process (3nm GAP/SF3). This is apparently better than TSMC's current 3nm process in area and efficiency. The Exynos 2500's CPU is said...

Top 10 trending phones of week 3

There will be no prizes for guessing which was the most popular phone in our database this week. After topping the trending chart since the start of the year, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra opened up a huge gap at the top now that it's finally official and available for pre-order. Compared to its closest followers it has twice and three times the interest, respectively. [#InlinePriceWidget, 12771, 1#] The vanilla Galaxy S24 took second, while the S24+, despite making more sense than many of its predecessors had to settle for seventh. The Redmi Note 13 Pro takes the last podium spot,...

Two more Realme Note phones coming this year, target is 10M sales of the series in 2024

The Realme Note 50 is on its way, and it will not be alone. The company has big plans for the series with three phones coming by the end of the year and a sales goal of 10 million units. Francis Wong, CEO of Realme Europe and Global Marketing Director revealed the ambitious plans and shed some more light on the availability of the company's new series. The first Realme Note smartphone will be launched in the Philippines on January 23, and there will be two more joining it in the next couple of months. Realme's Note lineup will be plugging the sub-$100/€100 hole in the company's...

Galaxy S24 series arrive with huge focus on AI - Week 3 in review

We can officially call the past seven days 'Galaxy week'. Samsung dominated the headlines with the Galaxy S24 series announcement, despite rumors and leaks spoiling most of the surprises. Naturally, the Galaxy S24 Ultra outshone the Galaxy S24 and S24+ thanks to its new 5x camera, Titanium frame and new Corning glass, and, well, the fact that it's Samsung's biggest flagship of the year. AI was front and center at the announcement - the new Galaxies enable a myriad of AI-powered features. Circle to Search is a gesture-driven feature made in collaboration with Google - you long-press on...

Redmi Note 13 4G in for review

Xiaomi commenced its Redmi Note 13 series global rollout last week and also announced a pair of Note 13 4G models. Redmi Note 13 4G is the most affordable entry in the series and is the latest device to make its way to the office. Based on the spec sheet, the chipset is the only difference between the Note 13 4G and its 5G counterpart but let’s see what else we've got here. Our Note 13 4G review unit comes in the Midnight Black color which features a mirror-like glossy finish on the back. It looked clean right out of the box but it was quickly smudged by fingerprints as we were...

Flashback: the weird add-ons that boosted the Samsung Galaxy S cameras

Samsung says that the new Galaxy S24 Ultra has a “Quad Tele System” that offers four magnification levels: 2x, 3x, 5x and 10x. The middle two are achieved with optics, the first and last with advanced image processing. That’s just for zooming in, the S24 Ultra does have four actual cameras on its back – but it wasn’t that long ago when phones had just the one. That was the case in 2016 when the Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 edge arrived – there was a single 12MP camera with a 26mm f/1.7 lens. It was fairly advanced with Dual Pixel autofocus and OIS, but still it locked you into a single focal...

Weekly poll results: Asus ROG Phone 8/8 Pro attract attention, but could do with a price cut

The last page of our Asus ROG Phone 8/8 Pro review begins with “The ROG Phone is not a cheap device.” And we’re not the only ones that feel that way, in fact, it was the common sentiment in last week’s poll. Our review ends on a positive note and we found that Asus succeeded in its quest to make the ROG Phone 8 models more appealing to mainstream consumers. Many still see it as a gaming phone and aren’t interested in it, but maybe they will reconsider. As for others, a hotly debated topic in the comments was the switch to a punch hole camera. The ROG phones were among the last to...

Huawei P70 series to come with a 6.7-inch screen and 50MP main cam with variable aperture

A new post by the well-known tipster, Digital Chat Station, reveals some of the Huawei P70 series' specs and the leak seems to arrive just in time. Since the Huawei P60 series came out in March last year, it's safe to assume that the P70 family will come out in the next two months or so. The post reads a quad-curved OLED panel on the front with a 1.5K resolution and a 6.7-inch diagonal. It's also a bit hard to tell from the machine-translated Chinese, but the handsets may come with two front-facing stereo speakers. Additionally, the trio of back cameras will be arranged in an...

Samsung Galaxy A15 in for review

This is the new Samsung Galaxy A15 - the LTE variant, mind you, not the 5G-enabled one, and it steps in to replace the Galaxy A14. The Galaxy A15 brings a 90Hz Super AMOLED display - a big step up from the 60Hz PLS LCD on the 4G Galaxy A14. The other key change is the move to a much more efficient 6nm MediaTek Helio G99 with as much as 8GB of RAM. Samsung kept the camera system mostly intact, ditto the 5,000mAh battery, but you do get faster charging at 25W. The Galaxy A15 ships with a USB cable. We have the Blue Black model - it's a dark blue as you'd guess, and it mostly...

Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 5G in for review

Xiaomi recently unveiled the Redmi Note 13 5G, and we've just got a unit at office to review. But before starting our review process, let's unbox the Redmi Note 13 5G and see what's on offer. We've got the Ocean Teal version of the Redmi Note 13 5G, which comes in a white-colored retail box, including a protective case, charging cable, a 33W power adapter, and a SIM ejector tool. The Redmi Note 13 5G is powered by the Dimensity 6080 SoC, has up to 12GB RAM and 256GB storage onboard, and runs Android 13-based MIUI 14 out of the box. It's built around a 6.67" FullHD+ 120Hz AMOLED...

OnePlus Watch 2 with Wear OS to be unveiled at MWC next month

Last year we heard that the OnePlus Watch 2 would finally launch this year, and today a new rumor definitely corroborates that. According to a source that has been accurate at times in the past, the OnePlus Watch 2 will become official at Mobile World Congress, which takes place in Barcelona at the end of next month. Furthermore, it's once again said to run Wear OS. Hopefully that means Wear OS 4, as previously leaked. This would make the OnePlus Watch 2 very different from the original OnePlus Watch, which launched back in 2021 and ran a proprietary OS. Xiaomi took the plunge into...

Google teases new Minty Fresh colorway for the Pixel 8 Pro

Google's online store is now teasing a new drop. It's not a new device, mind you, just a new color for the Pixel 8 Pro. It will become available on January 25 at midnight PT, and it's called Minty Fresh. It's actually unclear whether this will be limited to just the Pixel 8 Pro (shown in the teaser), or if it will also make its way to the Pixel 8. We don't have a lot to wait in order to find out, however. 01000110 01110010 01100101 01110011 01101000 00100000 01111001 01100101 01100001 01110010 00101100 00100000 01100110 01110010 01100101 01110011 01101000 00100000 01100100 01110010...
