T-Mobile has an exclusive Hot Pink version of the new Motorola Razr+

Earlier today the Motorola Razr 50 Ultra went official in China, followed by a global unveiling a few hours later. The phone is known as Razr+ (2024) in North America, and T-Mobile has a very special version of it as an exclusive. We're talking about a Razr+ in Hot Pink - that's the name of the colorway, and if you look at it, you'll instantly know why. This will only be available at T-Mobile, and now we're wondering why not a "Hot Magenta" option. Seems like a missed co-branding opportunity - T-Mobile tried to make us forget by saying hot pink is "magenta's BFF", but come on, it's not...

YouTube's Android app is getting a sleep timer

You may like to watch YouTube videos as you fall asleep, but if you do you've certainly noticed a huge glaring omission in the service's mobile apps. There is absolutely no way to make YouTube stop playing after a set time - there's no sleep timer. That's set to change soon. According to a teardown of the most recent version of the YouTube app for Android, a sleep timer is now finally in development, as evidenced by the strings in the screenshot below. As you'd expect, this will allow playback to stop after a specified period of time. If you haven't actually managed to fall asleep...

Samsung is expected to launch the Galaxy Z Flip6 on July 10, and we recently learned that the phone could be $100 more expensive in the US, compared with last year's foldable.

Huawei's HarmonyOS NEXT Beta launches officially

Yes, it is finally happening. Huawei's HarmonyOS NEXT is shedding its janky Android roots. As promised at the Huawei Developer Conference (HDC) 2023, the OS's new version is a new and fresh software effort. Huawei officially launched the HarmonyOS NEXT Beta at this year's HDC 2024 conference. Let's go through some of the basics first. HarmonyOS NEXT is not based on Android, nor is it strictly speaking a Linux system. It is based on OpenHarmony and is a microkernel-based core distributed operating system for HarmonyOS. That is to say that HarmonyOS NEXT has the HarmonyOS microkernel. It...

Acefast Acefit Neo in for review

Acefast is a brand popular for its semi-transparent designs and the latest gadget we are reviewing makes no exception.

The actual case has a transparent lid, through which we can see the magnets that keep the whole thing closed. The box also includes a fabric pouch with different-size hooks and a USB-C charging cable, but we should note...



Apple Intelligence may not come to the EU at launch over regulatory concerns

Last week, at WWDC, Apple jumped on the AI bandwagon by introducing Apple Intelligence for iOS 18 and macOS Sequoia. However, it may not be available at launch in the European Union since Apple has announced it could block Apple Intelligence's release in the EU over regulatory concerns. Apple said that Apple Intelligence, iPhone Mirroring, and SharePlay Screen Sharing may not be rolled out in the EU due to the Digital Markets Act (DMA), which could force the Cupertino-based tech giant into downgrading the security of its products and services. “We are concerned that the interoperability...



Realme V60s officially listed on the Realme China website

We only recently heard about the Realme V60 and V60s through a TENAA leak which seemed to imply that both phones have identical specs. Well, now the V60s is officially listed for sale on Realme’s China website and the regular V60 was briefly as well with the same exact specs sheets. The latter listing has now been taken down, so there is still a change that the two phones might have some specs differences after all. Anyway, the Realme V60s is an entry-level dual SIM 5G device. It is rocking a 6.67-inch HD+ display, with a 720 x 1604 pixels resolution. The panel has a 120Hz refresh...

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra's camera improvements detailed in new leak

Today some more details about the previously leaked improvements to the S25 Ultra's camera system have been outed on X. According to this rumor, the S25 Ultra will have a new version of Samsung's 1/2.76" ISOCELL JN1 sensor, which is slightly smaller than the one in the S24 Ultra and has 50 MP resolution.

Realme V60 and V60s leak in promo materials, have specs outed by TENAA

Realme is working on a new range of smartphones it seems, based on a new leak out of China. The company is expected to introduce the V60 and V60s soon, and today a promo shot has been leaked along with specs. Intriguingly, the V60 and V60s seem to have identical specs - even their TENAA listings confirm this. Obviously then the question becomes why launch two identical models with very similar names, but we're way past asking Chinese smartphone makers such questions. Anyway, the V60 (and V60s, but we won't keep referring to both for the sake of brevity) is going to come with a 120 Hz...

Apple reportedly suspends Vision Pro 2's development as it aims to release cheaper model next year

A few months ago, we heard the Apple Vision Pro 2 wasn't coming until at least August 2025. However, The Information claims Apple has suspended work on the Vision Pro 2 and aims to release a cheaper model in late 2025.

iQOO Neo9 Pro hands-on review

iQOO launched the iQOO Neo9 and Neo9 Pro last year in China, but only one smartphone escaped the country - the iQOO Neo9, which was introduced as the Neo9 Pro in India.

Traveling to China? eSim is your best roaming option

If you’re planning a trip to China, then the “Great Firewall” and its Internet regulations are one more step you need to prepare for, especially if it’s your first time visiting. Most of the services and platforms that we use on a daily basis like Google, YouTube, and Instagram are not accessible in China by default. A VPN service is one way to bypass these regulations but that would require a stable Wi-Fi connection and even then it’s not exactly a plug-and-play solution. From our experience, most VPNs in China work for a limited time before being blocked. There is an alternative...

Qualcomm admits: the Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 is just an "enhanced version" of the Snapdragon 695

Last week Qualcomm quietly introduced the Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 chipset, and we had our suspicions about it based on the fact that it looked surprisingly similar to the Snapdragon 695 from 2021. It turns out we were right. Qualcomm confirmed to Android Authority that "the Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 is an enhanced version of Snapdragon 695 delivering improved CPU, GPU, and AI performances". Leaving the error in the final word from that statement aside, this means that, aside from the bump in clock speed for the CPU which we've already mentioned in our article about the launch, Qualcomm has also...



EU to charge Apple under Digital Markets Act, impose a fine of up to $50 million per day

Back in March, the European Commission announced that it started an investigation relating to Apple's new fee structure for alternative app stores. Namely, the fact that Apple charges a "Core Technology Fee" for developers who want to "steer" users to offers outside of its App Store. There's also an additional 3% that goes to Apple if a developer uses its payment processor. The imposing of such fees onto developers will be found in breach of the EU's Digital Markets Act (DMA), according to a new report from the Financial Times. This would be the first time a tech company would be charged...

Samsung Galaxy S25 battery capacity leaks

The battery capacity of Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S25 has leaked today, and it's going to be identical to that of its predecessor. So, like the S24, the S25 will have a 4,000 mAh battery and nothing more. Battery capacity has been a pain point at times for Samsung's vanilla S-series devices, with it going from the 4,000 mAh of the S20 and S21 to the 3,700 mAh of the S22, then with the S23 to 3,900 mAh, only to finally reach 4,000 mAh again this year in the S24. And now it seems like there will be no change in 2025. Of course, the vanilla model is the smallest of the family, but a...

Samsung releases first beta of One UI 6 Watch with Galaxy AI for the Galaxy Watch6

Towards the end of last month, Samsung announced One UI 6 Watch, the next iteration of its skin atop Google's Wear OS.
