Redmi announces Turbo 3 as a part of new generation of performance flagship series

Redmi president Thomas Wang revealed the Xiaomi brand is launching new series called Turbo. They will sit between the K and Note series and will be all about performance. It's first member will be called Redmi Turbo 3, and it might be a new name for the Redmi Note 13 Turbo. In a lengthy post, followed by a Q&A session on social media, Wang explained the idea behind Turbo – it will be a lineup of phones that will “reshape the midrange market”. By the looks of it, the Redmi K phones will remain the "flagship killer" devices, the Redmi Turbo will fit below them with a focus on...

Xiaomi Watch 2 in for review

Xiaomi's excellent Watch 2 Pro is among the best watches available right now. At just €249 with LTE, it's definately one of the best deals around. But the Xiaomi Watch 2 may just be a better one. The Xiaomi Watch 2 has all the features of the Pro but with a lighter aluminum body, no rotating crown, and a flush top glass. Oh, and it starts at just €199. But the biggest difference is that the Watch 2 lacks LTE - you'd need to go for the Pro if you want to be able to leave your phone behind. The Xiaomi Watch 2 ships with a TPU strap (either grey or black), and a magnetic proprietary...

Top 10 trending phones of week 13

Samsung Galaxy A55 completed a hat-trick of trending chart victories in week 13 and still holds a comfortable advantage of the Redmi Note 13 Pro, which rose to second place. Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra gets the bronze medal as the Infinix Note 40 Pro slips off the podium and into fourth place. Redmi Note 13 picked up a lot of steam and is sitting in fifth now, followed by a trio of Samsung Galaxy phones. Interestingly the newly announced M55 only managed a seventh place, between the A35 and A54. Perhaps the limited initial availability reduced its appeal and it may fare better should it...

Pixel 9 renders leak, vivo X Fold3, Galaxy M55 official, Week 13 in review

Another week down, let's recap. Our Galaxy A55 battery life test came out, confirming the phone brings a big improvement in battery life over its incredibly popular predecessor. We saw fresh renders of the Google Pixel 9, the smallest in Google's upcoming lineup. The 9 will offer a 6.03-inch display (presumably 120Hz OLED) compared to the 6.1-inch Pixel 9 Pro and 6.5-inch Pixel 9 Pro XL. The other key difference on the vanilla Pixel 9 is the dual camera setup compared to the three shooters on both the Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL. vivo unveiled the X Fold3 and the X Fold3 Pro.The vivo...

Flashback: Android Marshmallow is toast

Maybe you’ve heard that with Android 14 you can no longer install old apps that were built for Lollipop. Soon Android 15 will arrive and will similarly block apps meant for Marshmallow. Let’s hold back the tears as we wave goodbye to one of the best Android versions in history and some of the best apps and games that will go in the great robotic baker in the sky. Android 6.0 Marshmallow was introduced nearly a decade ago on May 28 2015 at that year’s Google I/O. A beta was released the same day and the stable version arrived in September on Nexus phones and tablets first. In November it...

Weekly poll results: the Asus Zenfone 11 Ultra does not spark joy

Asus had carved out a niche for its Zenfone series – small premium phones with relatively large batteries, 3.5mm headphone jacks and more customization options than you can shake a stick at. And now it has thrown it all away. Last week’s poll shows that 30% of those who cast their vote are waiting for a small Zenfone 11 (and we don’t even know if such a phone exists). Then a whopping 41% of voters think that the Asus Zenfone 11 Ultra just isn’t all that good. Interest might pick up if the prices drop, but Asus phones rarely get serious discounts. Who is this phone for, anyway?...

WhatsApp gets a bottom navbar on Android for easy navigation

WhatsApp has announced a new bottom navigation bar for Android users, which replaces the older top navbar that had four tabs for Communities, Chats, Status, and Calls. The new navbar, which is "closer to your thumbs and easy on the eyes," also has four sections for Communities, Chats, Status, and Calls. However, their order has been changed, and Status is now called "Updates." Moreover, all four sections now have icons. Previously, only the Communities tab had an icon. Besides, while the older navbar was green, the new navbar is white. Old navbar • New navbar WhatsApp said it...

Deals: Galaxy S24 also drops in price, Best Buy has iPad deals this weekend

Last week we looked at offers on unlocked Galaxy S24 flagships – the S24+ started at $850 and the S24 Ultra was $1,150. Those offers are still available, by the way, but they lacked the vanilla Galaxy S24. If you have your heart set on the smallest Samsung flagship, the Galaxy S24 starts at $750. Note that this is with 8GB of RAM and 128GB storage (not 12/256GB like the other two). There’s no option for 12GB of RAM, but you could get 256GB storage for $810. But that’s just $50 less than a 12/256GB S24+. We found the same offer on Amazon and Best Buy, so pick the retailer you...

iPhone 16 cases show rumored vertical camera bump

A few days ago we saw the first purported cases for the iPhone 16 Pro leaked, showing the rumored Capture button on the side, and today the non-Pro models get the same treatment. That is to say, we have a new case leak, and it shows two cases supposedly meant for the vanilla models - the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus. These confirm the oft-rumored change of design for the camera island of the upcoming iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus. As you can see, the two sensors will no longer be arranged diagonally inside a squircle-ish shape. First Cases for iPhone 16 pic.twitter.com/xCUOldA8I2— Sonny...

Realme GT6 stops by the FCC with 5,500 mAh battery

Realme is apparently working on the GT6, and this phone has just been certified by the FCC, signifying it will most likely launch internationally. The certification tells us it will come with a 5,500 mAh battery. Of course, there's also 5G support, as well as dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, GLONASS, BDS, Galileo, SBAS, and NFC on board. The phone will run Android 14 with Realme UI 5.0 out of the box. It measures 162 x 75 x 8.6 mm and weighs 199g. The battery will fast charge using SuperVOOC tech, although it's unclear exactly how fast that will go. Realme GT5 Thanks to a past...

Samsung Galaxy A55 vs. Samsung Galaxy A35

Samsung's strong presence in the mid-range segment is primarily defined by the Galaxy A3x and A5x series, so it's natural for people to wonder which one suits their needs. This year's Galaxy A55 and A35 both bring decent upgrades compared to their predecessors. But despite their considerable price gap, the Galaxy A55 and A35 are more similar than you'd think. So much so that the Galaxy A35 is almost identical to the A55's predecessor, the A54. Speaking of, we have a versus article on that topic as well. Table of Contents: Design Display Battery Life Charging Speaker...

OnePlus Nord CE4 features teased yet again, 100W charging confirmed

The OnePlus Nord CE4 still hasn't been fully and properly announced, but the company's teaser campaign has been so willing to spill out details about it that there's almost nothing we don't already know aside from pricing (although a recent leak pegged this at INR 24,999 for the base model). Today Amazon India has gone ahead and launched a microsite for the upcoming device, rehashing most of the features we've already known about from previous OnePlus teasers while confirming one of our suspicions too. The phone will have 100W fast wired charging support, it's now clear. We always...

Apple's new iPad Pro and iPad Air now rumored to arrive in May

Apple's oft-rumored but not yet unveiled next-generation iPad Pro and iPad Air models are now said to be arriving in early May. The new iPad Pro tablets will have OLED screens, as leaked countless times so far, while the iPad Air will for the first time in history be a series, not a lone device, as it will be offered in two sizes just like the iPad Air line. It's been about a year and a half since the introduction of the previous iPad Pros, and this marks the longest stretch in the history of Apple's tablets without a new release. The wait will definitely be worth it, as the OLED screens...

Samsung Care+ will include unlimited battery repairs from May

Samsung's Care+ protection plans in the US will come with unlimited battery repairs starting in May. This will be bundled into the benefits of both Care+ and Care+ with Theft and Loss tiers. There are, however, two caveats to keep in mind. First, this will make both plans $2 more expensive per month. Second, and perhaps most importantly, you'll only be eligible for a battery repair if your device's battery health is at 79% or lower, "as indicated by a diagnostic test". Oh, and there also has to be "no additional damage to the covered device" present. This repair option will be available...

iPhone 12 gets 15W Qi2 wireless charging support with iOS 17.4

Apple released iOS 17.4 earlier this month, and the big news about it was its compliance with the new EU Digital Markets Act, but it looks like that wasn't the only big thing hiding inside this update. In fact, the new software seems to have unlocked support for the Qi2 wireless charging standard. According to testing conducted by Macworld, the iPhone 12 with iOS 17.4 now charges wirelessly at 15W when magnetically connected to a Qi2 charger that isn't Apple's MagSafe. Previously, in such a scenario, wireless charging would be limited to 7.5W, so the jump is quite substantial. Back...

Motorola Edge 50 Ultra renders leak showing periscope zoom camera

Following the recent leaks of Motorola's Edge 50 Pro and Edge 50 Fusion, today the trio of upcoming devices is completed by a leak of the Edge 50 Ultra, the top of the line model in the range. The Edge 50 Pro is getting official on April 3, and the Edge 50 Fusion might join it according to the latest rumors on the matter. Interestingly, the Edge 50 Ultra renders you can see below have an April 3 date on the screen as well, just like the others. This could mean all three devices are set to be introduced next week. However, April 3 is next Wednesday, and these renders say "Tue Apr 3" so...

Google's Circle to Search is rolling out to the Pixel 6 series and Pixel 7a

After having initially brought the Circle to Search feature to the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro, Google then made it available for the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro. After that, we were left guessing as to when it would reach older Pixels, but we're guessing no more. Today Google has announced that Circle to Search is headed to the Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 6a, and Pixel 7a later this week. It's also "coming soon" to the Pixel Fold and Pixel Tablet. It's unclear if even older Pixels will ever get Circle to Search. Google has also revealed that the feature will get translation support in the...

Google Pixel 9 leaks in new renders

The Pixel 9 appeared in a new set of CAD-based renders suggesting that Google is going for a new approach to its phone launch schedule. We previously saw two sets of renders back in January which are now said to have been the Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL. The new images show the same basic design as the Pixel 9 Pro and 9 Pro XL with a flat metal frame and revised camera island which now adopts an oval shape without warping into the frame like the visors on the previous two generations of Pixels. Google Pixel 9 renders The source claims Pixel 9 will offer a...

Samsung Galaxy A35 vs. Samsung Galaxy A54

So, you find yourself looking for a Samsung midranger. At around €480, the Galaxy A55 is admittedly quite pricy and you notice that the Galaxy A35 gets you a lot of the way there at a more reasonable starting price of €380. But do some digging, and you will notice that last year's Galaxy A54 is also worth considering in this price range. It has depreciated quite nicely (from consumer's point of view) and can be found selling for less than the A35 on average. So that's an interesting conundrum right there. There are certainly positives and negatives to going either way, and we'll do our...

BOE to manufacture iPhone SE 4 displays

According to an industry source, BOE will likely be supplying the bulk, if not all, of the 6.1-inch OLED panels for the upcoming iPhone SE 4. Reportedly, Samsung dropped out of the race due to the low pricing Apple was offering for each panel. The report claims that a single 6.1-inch OLED unit costs around $30 at Samsung, while Apple was offering $25. Moreover, the same source suggests the the price is lower than even what the Chinese makers are asking. With Samsung out of the picture, BOE and Tianma remain, with BOE probably taking all of the orders for the iPhone SE 4. People...

iPhone 16 Pro rumored to arrive in Space Black and Rose colors

A new rumor today claims Apple will release the iPhone 16 Pro (and presumably the iPhone 16 Pro Max right alongside it) in new Space Black and Rose colorways. These would be offered in addition to white and gray. Thus, the Blue Titanium option that is currently available for the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max will be dropped for the next generation. Space Black is said to be close to the iPhone 14 Pro color of the same name, and it is going to replace Black Titanium. What is now called Natural Titanium will be the "gray" hue seen above, and White Titanium is also coming back,...

Apple's deal with Baidu for generative AI use in China isn't done yet, apparently

Yesterday a report from China claimed that Apple decided to use Baidu developed generative AI services in China, but now it looks like someone might have jumped the gun on that. According to a new report today, also from China, the deal isn't done, at least not yet. Talks may be ongoing, or not - this report doesn't go into much more detail than saying there is at this point no deal. If Apple does in the end agree to use Baidu's generative AI services for the Chinese market, this will be baked into iOS 18 scheduled to release to the masses this fall. Apple can't really go with...

Galaxy Ring is now present in Samsung's battery widget, launch nearing

Samsung teased the Galaxy Ring back in January at the Unpacked event where it unveiled the Galaxy S24 family, and then sort of announced it at MWC in Barcelona in February, and we've been expecting a proper introduction to finally come in July at the next Unpacked event where the Galaxy Z Fold6 and Z Flip6 should be outed. In the meantime, the Galaxy Ring was revealed to come with Samsung Food support, and now it's appeared in Samsung's stock Battery Widget, as you can see in the screenshot below. Once you add this widget to the home screen of your Samsung smartphone, go to its...

WhatsApp will finally let you send HD media automatically

WhatsApp introduced a feature back in August that lets you send photos in higher quality - the full resolution of the image. Users had to pick the good resolution manually and individually for each image, which was less than ideal. An inside look into the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.24.7.17 revealed all images and videos could be sent in HD automatically with a new Media Upload Quality toggle in the Storage and data menu. When you select the “Standard quality,” the recipient will get the media in a compressed file for faster delivery while keeping the quality lower. HD quality is...

Spotify tries its hand at offering video learning courses

Spotify started off as the app you go to in order to listen to music. But gradually it's added a lot of other things - podcasts, audiobooks, even music videos recently. And today it's starting a test through which it's offering video-based learning courses in the UK. Educational content is pretty far removed from music, and yet Spotify seems intent on growing and growing its scope way beyond 'just' music, for better or worse. The company has partnered with educational tech companies like BBC Maestro, PLAYvirtuoso, Skillshare, and Thinkific in the UK for now. The video courses will...

The next Apple Pencil might work with the Vision Pro headset

The next Apple Pencil, rumored for a launch alongside the new iPad Pro and iPad Air models in the next few weeks, might be more interesting than we were expecting. It turns out that it could not only support iPads, but Apple's Vision Pro headset as well, according to an unnamed source. It's unclear exactly how the stylus would work with the headset, but the safest assumption is perhaps that you'll be able to draw with it on a desk or some other flat surface and that would automatically appear in visionOS on the Vision Pro, essentially turning your surroundings into the Pencil's canvas,...

Our Samsung Galaxy A35 video review is out

In some regions like the US and Canada, the Samsung Galaxy A35 is the highest level A-phone that you can get – but is it worth having? For its price, it’s a solid choice as Will explains in our video review. Compared to last year’s model, the 2024 phone brings a more performant chipset, a premium Gorilla Glass Victus+ pane on the front (there is glass on the back now too), plus improvements to the screen and speakers. The video goes into details on the improvements (and also some areas where the phone is still lacking). The A35 gets the second tier of Samsung software support –...

One UI 6.1 with Galaxy AI for S23 family, Fold5 and Flip5 arrives this week

Samsung's big AI-infused One UI 6.1 update is almost ready to make it to last year's top of the line devices. The company has already announced that all of the AI features that launched with the Galaxy S24, S24+, and S24 Ultra back in January will be ported to the Galaxy S23, S23+, S23 Ultra, S23 FE, Z Flip5, and Z Fold5. This update is now scheduled to roll out on March 28, which is this coming Thursday. The rollout may not start globally on the same day, but it will at least take place in several territories, as evidenced by notifications received by owners of the aforementioned...

Report: Apple's A18 Pro to bring on-device AI, A18 to miss out

A report from Apple's supply chain indicates that Apple's A18 Pro chip will feature a larger die area (vs the A17 Pro), which could be needed for more AI computing power. The report comes from Jeff Pu at Haitong International Tech research, via 9to5Mac The chip will reportedly process AI on-device, something current top-dog Androids can already do thanks to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip. The increased die area on the A18 Pro means the chip can accommodate more transistors or specialized components - hinting at the hugely improved Neural Engine we've heard about. Apple could leverage AI on...

Tecno Pova 6 Pro launch date in India confirmed

Tecno announced the Pova 6 Pro with a big battery and eye-grabbing design last month. The phone was initially introduced at MWC 2024, and today we learned the official launch date for India, one of Tecno's key markets. The Pova 6 Pro will arrive in the Asian country on March 29 with a launch at noon local time and will be available on Amazon. Tecno India announced a collaboration with Rusk Media Playground to promote the Pova 6 Pro to Gen Z and tech enthusiasts. The phone's launch will coincide with the start of Season 3 on Amazon miniTV, also scheduled for Friday. We already...

nubia Z60 Ultra is getting a Photography Edition with more AI

The nubia Z60 Ultra cameraphone was released in the closing days of 2023 with unique 35 mm primary camera and slid all-round specs. The phone now gets a new version with new design and extra AI camera features that will go on sale starting March 28. The full name is nubia Z60 Ultra Photographer Edition and the design of the back panel strongly reminds us of a point and shoot camera of the near past. nubia Z60 Ultra Photographer Edition The photography theme also underlines that the phone is another installment is a series of very capable cameraphones, folling the nubia Z50...

Top 10 trending phones of week 12

The Samsung Galaxy A55 retained its title as the most popular smartphone in our database in week 12. While its Galaxy A35 partner slipped down to fourth, the A55 is still having a comfortable advantage over the second place. And that second place, perhaps suprisingly, goes to newly announced Infinix Note 40 Pro. The company unveiled its new series this weeks and two of its members made it in our top 10. Redmi Note 13 Pro rounds up the podium, followed by the Samsung duo of Galaxy A35 and Galaxy S24 Ultra. Two more newly announced phones follow with the China-exclusive OnePlus Ace 3V...

You can now pin multiple messages in a WhatsApp chat

Last December, WhatsApp rolled out the ability to pin messages within one-on-one conversations and group chats, but you could only pin one message in a conversation. That changes now since Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and WhatsApp head Will Cathcart have announced that users can now pin up to three messages in individual and group chats. Users can pin different types of messages, including text, images, and polls. To pin a message, you must long-press on it, select "Pin" from the menu, and select the duration. The message will be pinned for seven days by default, but you can also pin it...

Call of Duty Warzone Mobile is now available on iOS and Android

Activision launched its own version of battle royale for smartphones and naturally, it's called Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile. This is a separate game from the well-known Call of Duty: Mobile. The latter provides a single and traditional multiplayer experience, while Warzone focuses on the battle royale genre. Of course, players can still join standard multiplayer servers, but only when they've played a couple of Warzone games first. Interestingly, progression on weapons, XP points and achievements are shared across all platforms, as long as you log in with your Activision account....

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 tipped to have titanium frame

The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, unveiled in January, has a titanium frame, and if tipster Revegnus is to be believed, the next Samsung smartphone to have a titanium frame will be the Galaxy Z Fold6. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 launched last year has an aluminum frame, and right now, the Galaxy S24 Ultra - the most expensive in the Galaxy S lineup - is the only smartphone in Samsung's portfolio with a titanium frame. Hence, it's hardly a surprise to know that the Fold6 could come with a titanium frame since it will be more expensive and advanced than the Flip6. Samsung Galaxy Z...

Deals: Amazon's Holi Fiesta drops iQOO Z9 and Neo9 Pro prices, Moto Razrs get massive discounts

Celebrating the holiday, Amazon is holding a Holi Fiesta from March 21 to the 26th. It has some great discounts on older phones along with offers on brand new models, plus we picked out some tablets. The iQOO Z9 launched last week. It is a Dimensity 7200-powered mid-ranger with a 6.67” 120Hz FHD+ OLED display. The 50MP main camera has OIS (but no ultra wide companion) and there is a 16MP selfie on the front. The phone has a 5,000mAh battery with 44W fast charging and an IP54 dust and water resistance rating. iQOO Z9 ...

Realme 12+ 5G in for review

We've had our first meeting with the Realme 12+ 5G, but it's now time for it to get the review treatment. Let's recap the box contents first. The phone comes with a silicone case, a 67W charger, a SIM tool, and a cable. We'd call that a thorough retail package. Realme offers the 12+ in two colors - Pioneer Green, which we've seen before and would call more of a turquoise or teal, and a Navigator Beige. Both feature a faux leather back (silicone polymer, if you want to get technical), which won't be to everyone's taste, but we attest that it's superior for grip and...

Spotify launches Miniplayer for Mac and Windows

Spotify is announcing the debut of a new feature on both macOS and Windows. It's called Miniplayer and is available now to Spotify Premium subscribers only. The Miniplayer, as the name implies, is designed to give you maximum control over your music and podcasts with minimal intrusion. If you want to quickly skip a track or adjust volume or change the Repeat mode, for example, you no longer need to switch to the Spotify window - just use the Miniplayer. The Miniplayer can transform its shape into a square, rectangle, or "a sleek bar", as seen above. It supports both music and...

iQOO Neo10 Pro's impressive specs leak

vivo's sub-brand iQOO unveiled the Neo9 last December and Neo9 Pro this February, but it is of course already working on the Neo10 series. Today a new rumor from a usually reliable source in China claims the top model - we'll just call this Neo10 Pro for convenience, even though the name hasn't been confirmed yet - will come with some very good specs. According to Digital Chat Station, a mystery device is coming "from a certain brand" with these specs - commenters in the end figured out this is the next iQOO Neo device. So what are these specs? The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 at the helm, for...

Android 15 Developer Preview 2 brings support for satellite messaging

Google released the first Android 15 Developer Preview last month, and today the second one is out. This is still not a public beta, the first one of those is set to arrive in April. Instead, like the first preview, it's also intended for developers to be able to check their apps against. Android 15 release timeline The big new feature introduced by Android 15 DP2 is support for satellite connectivity at the operating system level. The OS now includes some UI elements that are designed to "ensure a consistent user experience across the satellite connectivity landscape", Google...

OnePlus Buds V launch in China, could be rebranded as Nord Buds internationally

The OnePlus Ace 3V was just unveiled in China and rumors have been pouring in recently about how it will be launched internationally as the OnePlus Nord 4. OnePlus also announced the Buds V alongside the Ace 3V, and these true wireless earbuds are thus quite likely to be rebranded for international markets as Nord Buds... something later this year, while possibly arriving at the same time as the Nord 4. That's all our speculation, by the way, so don't take it as gospel. But given all of the history and context surrounding these product lines, it would make perfect sense. So, if all of this...

US Department of Justice sues Apple for having an illegal monopoly over the smartphone market

Today the United States Department of Justice has sued Apple, claiming the company has maintained an illegal monopoly over the smartphone market, locking in its customers, driving up prices, and selectively imposing contractual restrictions on developers, withholding critical ways of accessing functionality to prevent competition. "Apple exercises its monopoly power to extract more money from consumers, developers, content creators, artists, publishers, small businesses, and merchants, among others", the DOJ says, along with the 16 state and district attorneys it filed the lawsuit...

Redmi pokes fun at the OnePlus Ace 3V, says 8 is better than 7

Earlier today, OnePlus launched the Ace 3V in China, with the brand new Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 chipset at the helm. It is in fact the first handset to bear this newly announced SoC. Redmi isn't impressed, however. Its official Weibo account posted the image you can see below in response. It clearly states that 8 is better than 7, and this isn't a subtle jab at all. Basically, Redmi is telling us that the Snapdragon 8 series chipsets outperform those in the 7 series. And wouldn't you know it, coincidence of all coincidences, Redmi itself will launch a new device powered by a Snapdragon...

Infinix Note 40 Pro 5G and Note 40 Pro+ 5G land in India next month

This past Monday Infinix made the Note 40 Pro 5G official alongside the Note 40 Pro+ 5G at a special event in Malaysia. It was a global launch, but of course each market where Infinix is present might start sales at a different time. In India, for example, the two devices are set to arrive in April, as you can see from the promotional image below. The poster doesn't mention both handsets, but uses the word "series" and so it's pretty clear that they'll both be making it. The phones will be sold on Flipkart and in offline stores after the launch. Unsurprisingly, Infinix is choosing...

Nothing invites its community to design, package, and customize a special edition Phone (2a)

Nothing wants to emphasize that it's all about the community, and thus it's launched a new initiative today through which it invites its community to design, package, and customize a special edition of the Phone (2a). This "first-of-its-kind co-creation initiative" is called The Community Edition Project. It will run over six months and four stages. Across this time frame, Nothing will collect community entries for the design of the special edition Phone (2a) - hardware, wallpapers, packaging, and marketing. The creators of the winning entries at each stage will "have the chance to...

Samsung Galaxy S22 family may get Galaxy AI features after all

Samsung's Galaxy S24, S24+, and S24 Ultra launched this year infused with Galaxy AI features, and the company has since promised these will arrive on the S23 family (including the S23 FE) through the update to One UI 6.1 which is due to be released for them at the end of this month. But the S22 family got left out. Now it seems the 2022 flagships could still get a taste of Galaxy AI, although nothing is set in stone just yet. Samsung's President of the Mobile Division TM Roh told a general shareholders' meeting that the company is actively looking for ways to bring the Galaxy AI features...

Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra vs. Google Pixel 8 Pro

The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is quite possibly the most complete Android smartphone on the market but where does that leave Google, Android's very creator, and its own Pixel phone? Out of lockstep, the two lineups are bound to be somewhat mismatched when it comes to having the latest hardware, but that doesn't mean that the Pixel 8 Pro, now in the middle of its lifecycle, doesn't have its advantages over the Galaxy. Let's try and find them. Table of Contents: Design Display Battery Life Charging Speaker Test Performance Cameras Verdict For starters, you can...

Google Pixel 8a specs leak

Google's Pixel 8a is coming soon, perhaps launching in May at the annual I/O developer conference. We've already seen it in CAD-based renders, and recently heard a disturbing rumor about it being more expensive than the Pixel 7a. Ever since then we've been wondering what upgrades it might bring to make the price hike palatable, and today a new leak brings the answer. The Pixel 8a will have a 120 Hz refresh rate, for the first time for an a-series Pixel, and it will be powered by the Tensor G3 chipset just like the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro. The Pixel 8a's screen will have 1,400 nits...

Samsung Galaxy F55 is real and coming to India and Bangladesh

Samsung seems intent on creating a Galaxy F55 this year, and since it's part of the F series, that means it will be very similar, if not identical, to the already announced Galaxy A55. We've already seen the F55 getting Bluetooth and Wi-Fi certified, and now Samsung itself has confirmed the fact that it's real. The Korean company has created support pages for the F55 in both Bangladesh and India. So not only is the F55 a real in-development device, but it will be sold in at least those two countries when it becomes official. It has the model number SM-E556B/DS, has dual SIM...

Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra vs. Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max

We couldn’t pass the opportunity to deliver the comparison between the ultimate rivals - the Galaxy and iPhone.

So, here it is – the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra versus the Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max!
