A screenshot of what appears to be a Google Play Developer Console listing reveals that OnePlus TV, codenamed "Dosa" (a South Indian dish), will be powered by a yet-unknown MediaTek MT5670 SoC and have a Mali-G51 GPU in tow.
The OnePlus TV will have 3GB RAM and will run Android Pie. The resolution is listed as 1080p, but that's likely for the menu, with the TV switching to 4K when required.

Today Samsung's Galaxy Note10 and Note10+ have officially become available in over 70 countries, and to celebrate this momentous occasion the company has released a new app. We're not kidding - it's called 3D Scanner and its outing is timed to coincide with the launch of the Galaxy Note10+. That's because the app makes use of that model's 3D ToF camera on the back in order to let you scan and create 3D models of real-world objects. Since the Galaxy S10 5G and the Galaxy A80 also have ToF cameras, they should support the app as well.
The 3D Scanner app is now up for grabs in Samsung's...
Back in the day, we upgraded our phones pretty much every two years. However, smartphone technology seems to be peaking where the performance jump from each version is getting smaller, not to mention the prices of our phones are also getting out of hand, where phones are now priced $1,000 and above.This is why it doesn’t come as a complete surprise to learn that according to a recent survey conducted […]
While its appeal of an antitrust ruling wends through the courts, the chipmaker doesn't need to change how it licenses its technology. The case involves Apple and others.
Oppo is holding a grand event on August 28 to launch the Reno2, and during the last few days we're starting to hear more and more that it may not be the only device in the series arriving on that day. Yesterday the Reno A leaked, and today it's time for us to see the purported Reno 2Z in leaked live images for the first time.
The name implies this will be a successor to the Reno Z that only hit the market in June. Unlike that model, the Reno 2Z has no notch whatsoever, and that's because there's a motorized pop-up selfie camera. On the rear we can see four cameras arranged vertically, with...
Ahead of IFA Berlin, Huawei just confirmed its latest in-house Kirin 990 chipset will be announced at its event on September 6. The brand released a short video which details the SoC will come with 5G capabilities and some past rumors suggest the modem will be built into the chipset.
The Kirin 990 will be produced on TSMC's 7nm EUV process which will provide 20% greater transistor density and in turn increased power efficiency.
Other tips suggest the new silicone will allow for 4K video recording at 60fps - a first in the Kirin series. We can expect an enhanced NPU based on...

One of the problems with facial recognition systems like Face ID on the iPhone is that you need to more or less stare directly at the phone for it to be unlocked. It is a security feature because it wants to make sure that it is you unlocking it, not someone holding it to your face, although the downside is that it isn’t as easy to unlock compared to using […]
One of the defining features of Android is Google’s playful take on the naming schemes for the different versions of the software, where with every release, Google chooses to name the update after a dessert in alphabetical order. This year, which is version 10 and is known as Android Q, Google has yet to officially reveal what the update will be called.After all, there aren’t that many mainstream and obvious […]

In the past, there have studies conducted to find if the radiation given off from our phones are dangerous. So far, the general consensus seems to be that they are safe for human use, but according to a report from The Chicago Tribune has suggested that our phones are actually giving off more radiation than is allowed.According to the report, they claim that in a series of tests they commissioned, […]
Apple has sourced the display panels used in their iPhones almost exclusively from Samsung. This is because there aren’t that many OLED producers in the world, or rather, there aren’t that many that will be able to meet Apple’s demand and needs for the number of OLED panels to manufacture.However, Apple is a company that seems to dislike relying on a single company for anything, which is why it’s not […]
Ever since the Apple Pencil was introduced, there have been many wondering if support for the iPhone would be coming. We have heard rumors that it could come to 2018’s iPhones, but that clearly did not pan out, and more recently, we’ve heard that it could be coming to this year’s iPhones.Those rumors seem to be gaining some traction because in a series of posts on MobileFun’s website, it reveals […]

How jailbreaking works is that it takes advantage of certain vulnerabilities found within iOS. This is made trickier on the fact that with every iOS update, Apple tends to eventually find a way to patch these vulnerabilities, making it harder for iOS users with jailbroken phones to keep their devices up to date.However, it seems that due to a possible screwup at Apple, the company appears to have accidentally unpatched […]
One of the problems with Android handsets is that because they are made by a variety of manufacturers, things like how long phones are supported for and update schedules are entirely up to the manufacturers to decide, and not Google. The good news is that if you’re the owner of a first-gen Nokia smartphone made by HMD Global, it seems that the company has decided to extend support for those […]

Back in the day, AT&T and T-Mobile used to be quite close with each other, to the point where some of you might recall, both carriers almost merged with each other. While that merger is no longer on the table, it seems that both companies will be working with each other once again to combat against the rise of robocalls.For those who are unfamiliar, robocalls are phone calls made by […]
The other day, it was reported that Apple was employing a new and somewhat controversial approach to third-party iPhone battery repairs. Basically, if the device detects that the iPhone was repaired from a third-party service center, even if it uses an official iPhone battery component, it will show up a “Service battery” message.This means that users who want to know the health of their battery would not be able to […]
Back in 2018, Apple introduced three iPhones: the iPhone XS, XS Max, and the iPhone XR. However, the iPhone XR came at a later date, and if you were wondering if Apple could be repeating that process this year, apparently that will not be the case. Instead, Apple is expected to launch all three iPhone models at the same time.This is according to Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives who in a […]
Google Duo is Google’s video calling app, but given that video calls can take place anywhere and at anytime, sometimes quality can be less than stellar, especially if taken in low-light environments. Of course, this has to do with the camera hardware where some lenses allow for more light, but software plays a role too.In a bid to perhaps improve on the quality of Duo video calls, the folks at […]
In recent years, one of the changes that Apple made to its iPhones is by giving it water and dust resistance. The feature might come across as a bit novel since not all of us drop our phones into water or need to take it with us swimming, but when the feature does come in handy, many are no doubt grateful to have it.We imagine that’s what the owner of […]
One of the security features of WhatsApp is support for end-to-end encryption. This means that messages sent and received through WhatsApp are encrypted, which in theory means that no one would be able to intercept and read your messages mid-transmission. However, security researchers at Check Point are now suggesting otherwise.During a recent Black Hat security conference held in Las Vegas, it has been revealed by the researchers that there are […]
Apple’s official accessories are pretty expensive and that is a reason why many users opt to use cheaper and unofficial accessories that cost a fraction of the price. However, potential safety and compatibility issues aside, there is a good reason to avoid using these unofficial accessories.One of those reasons, as detailed in a report from Motherboard, is that how there are some cables out there that can actually allow a […]
It was largely assumed that when Apple did away with Touch ID on the iPhone that Face ID was the way of the future. However, in recent times, we have been hearing rumors that Apple has not given up on Touch ID just yet, and now a new report from analyst Ming-Chi Kuo claims that we might see the return of the tech in 2021.According to Kuo’s report, he claims […]
Apple’s Face ID system has been touted by the company as being one of the most secure ways of logging into your phone. This is because unlike fingerprints, which can be replicated or 3D printed, Face ID cannot be fooled by conventional trickery such as wearing a mask or using a photograph.However, despite how strong Face ID appears to be, it is not invulnerable. In a report from Threatpost, it […]
A couple of weeks ago, a report from the Guardian revealed that a small percentage of Siri’s conversations were sent to outside contractors to analyze for improvement and quality control. The problem with this program is that it also sent in recordings users made while accidentally triggering Siri, meaning that these are not queries that users wanted to make in the first place.The idea of a complete stranger listening to […]
When Apple first announced plans to kill off the headphone jack, many made fun of them, although to be fair, Apple did give them a fair bit of ammunition by proclaiming that their decision was a brave one. One of the companies that mocked Apple relentlessly over the years was Samsung, who put out ad after ad mocking the iPhone’s lack of a headphone jack.However, it seems that after years […]
It is no secret that Apple isn’t a fan of third-party repair centers. There are plenty of reasons why this could be, such as how third-party repair centers might not follow the same protocols employed by Apple which could further damage the device. Or it could be that they’re worried that using non-genuine components could result in a different experience.It could also be simply greed, where Apple just wants you […]
