If you were hoping that a specific Apple product you’ve been eyeing will get a refresh this year, you could be in luck. According to Mark Gurman’s latest Power On newsletter, he claims that Apple is expected to launch its “widest array” of new products this coming fall, meaning that there should almost be something for everyone.According to Gurman, “To that end, I’m told that Apple is readying the widest […]
The second half of January will seemingly be the calm before the storm of February, when we expect a bunch of new flagships to arrive. So in the absence of major new announcements it's little surprise that our trending chart has seen little change compared to last week.
We get the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE on top - the place it has occupied since its announcement. It's joined on the rostrum by the OnePlus 10 Pro and the Xiaomi 12 Pro in that order.
The Samsung Galaxy A52s and Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max keep fourth and fifth, while the Redmi Note 11 in sixth is the first change compared to last...
In the third week of 2022 the most popular news articles were Samsung-related. We got a bunch of Galaxy S22-related leaks, but also an official announcement as Samsung unveiled the Exynos 2200 chipset. It will come with a brand new Xclipse GPU co-developed with AMD and will power the flagship lineup in certin markets.
Along with all the Galaxy S22, the Android community has a growing interest in the upcoming mid-range Galaxy A53 5G as it once again pops up on our weekly recap.
On Apple's side of the fence the most popular article was the iPhone 13's inability to apply noise...
The first 5G phones arrived on the market in early 2019, but three years later we’re still in a transitional period – most flagships have 5G, a typical mid-ranger does as well and even some entry level models. However, 4G phones are still being unveiled and there are quite a few countries without active 5G networks.
This week’s question is a simple one – do you use 5G on your phone? There are many reasons why you may not have switched yet, ranging from “not available in my country” to “don’t need it”.
Often the answer depends on your carrier. As a new addition to networks, 5G coverage...
The OnePlus 10 Pro may not bring any jaw-dropping upgrades, but it is shaping up to be a solid improvement over the 9 Pro, judging by last week’s poll. However, as the retail price of every OnePlus flagship crept up, fans became more discerning.
The majority of voters who are interested in the 10 Pro will be holding off until the reviews are out – and they better be good. A smaller yet still substantial portion of voters already like what they see and don’t expect any surprises.
The most interesting part of those reviews will be how the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 performs, but that is a concern...
Remember when Google used to name Android releases after desserts? It would even put statues of said desserts in front of its office – things were fun back then and more importantly, every new release carried major improvements.
Some were major milestones, the likes of Android 2.3 Gingerbread, the version that was so good that it refused to die. Android 4.4 KitKat introduced extensive upgrades as well, which are surprisingly relevant to this day, eight years after its 2013 release.
First, the name – this was the first release to be named after a branded snack, all the others are generic...
vivo launched the Y75 back in December 2017 with an octa-core processor, 4GB RAM, HD+ screen, 13MP primary camera, and a 16MP selfie unit. Over four years later, the company is said to announce its 5G version, whose specs have surfaced online.
The source claims that the vivo Y75 5G will be powered by the Dimensity 700 SoC and have 8GB (+ 4GB virtual) RAM and 128GB storage onboard. It will boot Android 12-based Funtouch OS 12, sport a 6.58" FullHD+ screen, and pack a 5,000 mAh battery with 18W charging support.
For photography, the vivo Y75 5G will come with four cameras - a 16MP...
Earlier this week we saw a live image of the Oppo Find X5 Pro which corroborated its design revealed by previously leaked renders. The picture showed us the Find X5 Pro's Ceramic White version, and now we are looking at a couple of new images showing us the smartphone with reflective rear panel.
These pictures don't reveal anything new, but a previously leaked image of the Find X5 Pro's About screen revealed a few specs of the smartphone, including Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC, MariSilicon X NPU, 12GB (+ 3GB virtual) RAM, 256GB storage, and ColorOS 12.1.
The Oppo Find X5 series is...
Phone maker Micromax made a comeback to the smartphone industry in India in November 2020 with the IN Note 1, and the company is all set to launch its successor next week, dubbed Micromax IN Note 2.

vivo's been busy this month expanding its product portfolio in India as the company launched five smartphones in the Asian country - V23, V23 Pro, Y21T, Y33T, and Y21e. But vivo's not done yet as the phone maker introduced one more handset in India, dubbed vivo Y21A - successor to the Y20A announced in India in December 2020.
However, the vivo Y21A isn't an entirely new smartphone. Just like the Y33T is a version of the Y21T with a few different specs, the Y21A shares its design and most of the specs with the Y21e.
vivo Y21e • vivo Y21A
For starters, the Y21e came with the...
Today OnePlus has announced the release of a new software update for its latest flagships (outside of China), the OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro launched last year. The new software is labeled C.44 in all global markets.
This brings with it the January 2022 security patch level, which is welcome since we're still in January. It's also probably the update with the longest changelog we've ever seen from OnePlus. We won't list everything here, but trust us - there are a ton of bug fixes and improvements promised. If you want to see the entire thing in all its glory, make sure you hit the Source link...
We really enjoyed our time reviewing the Oppo Find N with its gapless folding screen design and more comfortable size. It takes a different approach to the folding display than Samsung with its “Flexion” hinge with water drop shape that lets the screen fold further into the hinge.
We wondered about the hinge’s durability and we wonder well it is protected from dust. Thanks to JerryRigEverything’s new durability test video, we now have an idea how the Oppo Find N withstands the YouTuber’s torture tests.
The exterior screen comes with a factory installed screen protector and the glass...
Yesterday, we reported that Apple had closed off the loophole for its education discount. Basically, prior to this, Apple customers who wanted to buy a product using the education discount could do so as Apple did not really verify if users are a student or a teacher (or staff of an educational institute).However, Apple changed this as they implemented a verification system using UniDays that would check your credentials to […]
Samsung recently announced a Galaxy Unpacked event which we speculate could be for the Galaxy S22’s launch. The company has not mentioned any dates yet, but for those who are pretty much 100% certain that they will be getting the phone, it appears that reservations for the handset are already open.If you head on over to Samsung’s website, you can actually make a reservation for the phone. Samsung does not […]
An interesting new leak today gives us a treasure trove of information regarding OnePlus' plans and overall strategy. To recap, the company's new market segmentation works like this: the numbered series is the flagship line, the R-branded models are targeted at regional markets, Nord and Nord CE devices are the mid-rangers, and Nord N phones are targeting the entry-level.
Speaking of R models, the OnePlus 9RT just launched in India as a successor of sorts to the 9R, but apparently there's going to be a 10R too later this year. Not only that, but global markets are seemingly getting a...
The developers over at WhatsApp are finally close to delivering chat history migration between Android and iOS devices. That was revealed by the source code found of WhatsApp 22.2.74 beta for iOS.
It appears that it won't be a straightforward process, though. The migration process requires both devices to have the app installed and the process of migration will likely work using a cable or a private Wi-Fi connection. In comparison, other messaging apps store and sync user data using Google Drive, iCloud or their own cloud service.
As of now, the only official way to sync your...
The famous Weibo tipster Digital Chat Station claims that Oppo has already scheduled a launch event for its Find X5 series for the second half of February. Previously we only knew the announcement will come after the Chinese New Year on February 1.
The leak mentions other Oppo products will be part of the event too. The rumored Find X5 Pro, Find X5 and Find X5 Lite likely won't be alone, but we got no specifics on what's joining them.
The post vaguely confirms that the vanilla Find X5 will run on the Dimensity 9000 chipset and this will be the first phone to have it. Oppo will...
Intel will build a large-scale chipset production plant in New Albany, Ohio which upon completion will be the largest semiconductor project in the world. The initial investment is valued at over $20 billion with construction expected to start later this year with plans to open in 2025.
The mega-site will span over 400 hectares and will initially house two chip factories with plans to expand up to eight fabs in the future. The complex will also support operations and other Intel partner ecosystems.

Today, Samsung confirmed that it will announce its Galaxy S22 series in February, but you can reserve a pre-order spot for a Galaxy S22 series phone or a Galaxy Tab S8 now.
You need to follow this link and give your details to reserve a spot in the pre-ordering queue for one of Samsung's upcoming devices. Samsung is giving those who reserve a unit $50 store credit towards a purchase of other Galaxy products during the pre-order period and you could get your Galaxy S22 or Tab S8 device delivered earlier than other people.
Samsung is also promising other exclusive offers once the...
In two Weibo posts, Lenovo teased gaming shoulder key attachments for its upcoming Legion Y90 gaming handset and also gave out a little info regarding the latter, complementing the big leak from earlier today. Sadly, the company didn't specify whether or not the triggers would be compatible with the current generation Legion phones.
Anyway, the attachments boast mechanical keys mimicking those of a gaming mouse and are rated at 3 million presses. The triggers, of course, have low latency and are subject to custom mapping in various games.

Realme 9 Pro and 9 Pro+'s renders and specs got out in the last couple of days, but there were a few gaps in the specs sheet of the former. Well, the guys from PassionateGeekz.com are nice enough to fill those in for us in the blanks with a comprehensive specs sheet and possible pricing as well.
The Realme 9 Pro's alleged specs sheet confirms the Snapdragon 695 SoC, which is going to be paired with at least 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage (no microSD expansion slot). The 6.6" AMOLED panel runs at 120Hz and supports HDR10 content.

Reports about Apple launching the iPhone 15 Pro in 2023 with a periscope cam are nothing new. However, the latest info, coming from analyst Jeff Pu, stated that Cupertino is testing prototypes and component samples of 5x telephoto lenses. A final decision on who will be the manufacturer is expected in May 2022.
When the components are approved, they will be included in the “high-end models of the 2023 iPhone lineup”, which should mean the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. The likely maker of the lens will be Lante Optics, and expectations are 100 million units to be made just for...
The Samsung Galaxy A53 5G will reuse the bump design of the A52 trio for the quad camera on its back. This was seen in speculative renders from last year, but now we have real-world confirmation as well from spy photos of A53 5G’s frame and rear panel that were shared by 91Mobilies.
The panel appears black, though this could be prior to painting. Either way, black is one of the rumored color options for this model, alongside white, light blue and orange. This same color palette will be used for other Ax3 phones as well, including the Galaxy A13 and A33 5G.

Want to buy an iPhone but don’t want to pay full price? We get it, which is why some of you might be aware of Apple’s trade-in program where you can trade-in older iPhones or even Android phones and use that value towards buying a brand new iPhone.However, if you’re coming over from the Android ecosystem, it seems that it will now be less worth it to trade-in your old […]
Samsung will officially host its next Unpacked event in February to introduce what we expect to be the new Galaxy S22 smartphones.Dr. TM Roth, President & Head of MX Business at Samsung Electronics, mentions, “the most noteworthy S series device we’ve ever created.” That’s a clear hint the late Galaxy Note series will officially merge into the Galaxy S, marking the inclusion of Samsung’s S-Pen inside the Galaxy S.Before you […]
In this day and age where there are so many instant messengers, is calling really that necessary? We suppose in some cases it is, but given that we’re so used to texting, it might be weird to receive a call, especially if it’s coming from an unknown number.However, Dan Mall, the CEO of Super Friendly, has created a concept for iOS that will let the caller specify the reason they […]
Samsung's Galaxy S22 is coming during its February Unpacked event. And it sounds like the Galaxy S22 Ultra could have a lot in common with the Galaxy Note.
The smaller, less expensive Xperia 5 III strikes a better balance for photographers, filmmakers, gamers and creative types than the larger Xperia 1 III.
If you don’t have the cash or are willing to spend a lot of money on a flagship iPhone, but still want the iPhone experience, then the iPhone SE is your next best bet. In fact, Apple is expected to announce a refresh this year after having skipped last year, but the question is when can we look forward to the phone?We had previously heard from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman that […]
When Microsoft announced Windows 11, one of the features that users could look forward to was being able to use Android apps on Windows via Amazon’s Appstore. However, if you don’t use Amazon’s Appstore but still want some Android access on your Windows PC, then you’re in luck, sort of.This is because Google has announced that they are launching Google Play Games on Windows. This is a standalone application developed […]
If you needed to have your iPhone repaired, you’ve got a few options to choose from. You can send the phone to Apple to get it fixed, send it to an authorized service center, repair it at a third-party (and unofficial) repair place, and now it looks like you have a fourth option which is to get it fixed at T-Mobile.According to a report from the Tmo Report, it appears […]
Right now, 2G around the world has either been phased out or is in the process of being phased out, especially as more carriers around the world are transitioning to 5G. Now it seems that the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) is asking Apple to follow in Google’s footsteps by including a switch that will allow users to disable 2G on their phones.But why would anyone turn off 2G if 2G […]
While it’s not that hard to bring a charger with you when you travel, what if you need to charge multiple items at once? If you are in Apple’s ecosystem, you might already be familiar with the MagSafe Duo Charger that lets you charge an iPhone and Apple Watch at the same time, but what if you needed more?That’s where Mophie comes in as the company has since debuted an […]
5G comes in a bunch of different flavors, and the carriers aren't shy about slapping different labels on them. CNET breaks it down so you don't have to.
It has been a few years since the OnePlus 6 and OnePlus 6T have been released, so it doesn’t really come as a surprise to learn that OnePlus has announced that they will be ending software support for both devices.To be fair, both phones were released about 3 years ago and typically speaking, most Android handset makers support their products for about 2-3 years anyway in terms of major updates, […]
There is quite a bit of push right now for companies like Apple to adopt third-party payment methods when it comes to app purchases or in-app purchases. The idea is that by allowing third-party payments, it would allow developers to find alternative methods of payments that would let them avoid paying Apple a 30% cut from their app sales.However, it seems that Apple still wants its commissions, regardless of whether […]
At the moment, Apple’s iPhone SE series is based on the iPhone 8 in terms of design. This means that even in the display department, the current iPhone SE models feature a 4.7-inch display and that is expected to continue with the upcoming model slated for a March 2022 launch.However, for those who want a larger iPhone SE model, you might have to wait until 2023 at the earliest. This […]
Ahead of 5G becoming mainstream, there have been some concerns regarding the technology, namely from certain groups of people who have shared conspiracy theories about it like how 5G can cause illnesses. Many experts have since decried these claims to be untrue, but it turns out that 5G could actually have a negative impact on certain things, like airplanes.According to a report from Reuters, it appears that the CEOs of […]
One of the accessibility features Apple introduced to some of its iPhones is noise-cancellation. This basically helps to cut out on ambient noise that could interfere with a call’s audio quality, making it easier for users to hear what’s going on if they might be hard on hearing. However, for some reason it was not included with the iPhone 13.Back in December, a user on Reddit was told by Apple […]
According to a report the other day, it was reported that Apple might give all the iPhone 14 models ProMotion displays. It sounded like good news, right? It turns out that it might not be happening after all, according to analyst Ross Young.According to Young, when asked about whether the entire iPhone 14 lineup might come with the ProMotion display this year, Young replied by saying that will not be […]
For the most part, the majority of consumer-grade headphones are pretty much good to go right out of the box. This is unlike higher-end audiophile-grade equipment which might require additional equipment such as amplifiers in order to drive these headphones and get the best possible quality out of them.However, if high-quality audio is a must-have for you, then you might be interested in checking out the “Tea” headphone amplifier by […]
Over the years, what we’ve noticed Apple has done is introduce new features that are typically exclusive to its higher-end models, but subsequently in future models, Apple will introduce it to the entire lineup.This is why we can’t say we’re too surprised to learn that according to analyst Jeff Pu, Apple could bring the ProMotion display to the entire iPhone 14 lineup. For those unfamiliar, ProMotion is the name that […]
While it appears that Apple is fully committed to using Face ID for its security in its iPhones, at least for the higher-end flagship models, many are still calling on Apple to bring Touch ID back. This is because Touch ID is more convenient and giving users the option isn’t a bad thing.We have heard rumors that an in-display Touch ID could arrive this year, but analyst Ross Young has […]
When a game becomes popular, more often than not we see an influx of clone apps that attempt to mimic the game. Whether these apps are designed to be an actual game or a scam that tries to leverage the game’s popularity is hard to say, but clones are pretty common and many developers are probably not thrilled by it.So much so that PUBG’s developer, Krafton, has decided to take […]
If you’re a fan of Epic’s Fortnite and are hoping to see it come back to iOS again, you could be in luck. While the app itself won’t be returning, a post on NVIDIA’s GeForce Now website has revealed that the game will be coming back to iOS devices through the company’s game streaming service.For those unfamiliar, GeForce Now is a game streaming service from NVIDIA. It can be played […]
Apple’s iPhones have long been known for their cameras. While we wouldn’t necessarily call it the best, it is pretty good and Apple has largely managed to stay consistent over the years. However, this year could be the year that we will be seeing some massive changes to the camera system in the iPhone 14 Pro.According to the latest rumors, it has been suggested that for the iPhone 14 Pro […]
It was recently suggested that Apple could launch an iPhone with an in-display front-facing camera this year. However, if the tweets of analyst Ross Young are accurate, that may no longer be happening. Instead, it seems that it will most likely come either in 2023 for the iPhone 15 or 2024 for the iPhone 16.This actually comes on the heels of Young’s earlier tweet where he claimed that the iPhone […]
Pretty much all our smartphones these days come with always-listening digital assistants. The idea is that by always being on the lookout (or earout) for the trigger phrase, it will save users time from having to press buttons or launch apps to get the digital assistant to do things for the user.However, given that not everyone needs or wants a digital assistant, we’re sure that some users might be uncomfortable […]
A few days ago, it was reported that T-Mobile was apparently blocking users on its network from using iOS 15’s iCloud Private Relay feature. Given that there are reports of carriers in Europe doing the same, it didn’t seem like a very far-fetched idea, although T-Mobile later said that it was due to a bug in iOS 15.2.It looks like things are getting more complicated now because Apple has since […]
With the iPhone 13, Apple made the notch on the iPhone smaller. It was still obvious, but it was smaller. However, the iPhone 14 is expected to feature quite a drastic change on the notch front. This is according to analyst Ross Young from Display Supply Chain Consultants who revealed that the iPhone 14 could adopt a hole and a pill cutout.The hole cutout in the display has been used […]
Over the years, Apple has been increasing the prices of its iPhones. This honestly shouldn’t really come as a surprise, so if anything, we can’t say we’re too shocked to learn that we could be looking at a potential price increase for the upcoming iPhone 14 as well.This is according to a tweet by LeaksApplePro who shared the potential price of the iPhone 14 series on Twitter. According to the […]
According to a recent report, it was suggested that T-Mobile had apparently started to block Apple’s iCloud Private Relay. This is according to users on the carrier’s network who discovered error messages when trying to turn on the feature. However, the carrier has since denied that they are blocking it.According to a statement released by the carrier, they are blaming it on a bug iOS 15.2 and that they have […]
Not too long ago, the courts in South Korea passed a new law that would require companies like Apple and Google to allow for third-party payment systems in their app stores. This means that developers will be able to choose a different payment system other than the default one that Apple and Google uses.This in turn would allow developers to potentially find a cheaper payments provider and won’t have to […]
