A new report from Naver cites industry sources that Samsung Electronics foundries will begin mass-producing Google’s second-generation Tensor chipset on the 4nm process this month.

There were many leaks about a sensor called “Sony IMX800”, which was supposed to be huge and was going to be featured in multiple flagships. There may have been a case of mistaken identity, so let’s set the record straight. The actual Sony IMX800 made its debut with the Honor 70 series. The resolution is an unusual 54MP or more specifically 8,768 x 6,144px. With support for 4-to-1 pixel binning, most phones using this sensor will likely default to 13.5MP or 12MP resolution. As for size, the sensor has a 1/1.49” optical format. Not as huge as some made out to be, but still fairly...

TSMC published its roadmap, and analyst Ming-Chi Kuo spotted that this year the Taiwanese company will stick to 5nm process technology. This comes as an indication the new A16 Bionic chip for this year’s iPhones will be manufactured on the same fab process as the A15, bringing minor improvements.

In his latest Bloomberg newsletter report, Mark Gurman talks about iPhone 14 Pro series gaining Always-on display (AOD) functionality, iOS 16’s major new features and other announcements set to appear at WWDC 2022 on June 6.

These panels can dial back the refresh rate on the lock screen in a bid to save up battery power while displaying AOD information like time, date and notifications. Apple already offers AOD on its Apple Watches so it...

How many SIM slots does your phone have? In some regions dual-SIM models are quite popular, though in recent years eSIM (embedded SIM) has started taking over from the secondary slot for an external card. Many carriers offer low cost roaming or there is no roaming at all (e.g. within the EU), so having the option to pop in a extra card from a local carrier has become less important. But this is now, a decade ago some makers weren’t sure how many phone lines you may need in your pocket. One? Two? Four? Let’s start with the loneliest number. As we explained in a previous installment, the...

We doubt that there are many of you holding your breath waiting for HTC's next flagship phone given that it's been a while since the company released a high-end device. The handset was expected to make its debut in April but it seems that it has been delayed. The reason for the delay is reportedly COVID-19-induced supply chain issues, so HTC hasn't abandoned its project. Some believe that the phone will have an unusual appeal, just like the Exodus 1 and Exodus 1s smartphones, which were blockchain-centric. This time around, HTC's flagship will likely be related to the company's...

Got a Steam Deck? Lucky you. Anyway, if you haven’t already, you should install the SteamOS 3.2 update that just released, which quiets down the noisy fan and gives you more options to extend battery life along with other improvements.
