You then get 50mm telephoto, which would be about 2x...

The iQOO 10 series is expected to arrive soon, and reports are at least one of the phones will have a Dimensity 9000+ chipset.

Xiaomi will introduce the 12S series on July 4, and today it confirmed the trio of phones that will appear. We expect a small vanilla Xiaomi 12S, Xiaomi 12S Pro flagship and a Xiaomi 12S Ultra camera beast. The company revealed the latter will have a completely new 1” camera sensor by Sony, called IMX989. However, rumors are the global market is not going to see them as Xiaomi intends to make the 12S lineup exclusive to China. Xiaomi 12S Ultra will have 1-inch Sony IMX989 sensor Xiaomi advertised the new IMX989 to be 1” from one corner to another but this is misleading...

Nokia launched the G11 in February, and today, it followed up with the Plus model. The Nokia G11 Plus is built around a 6.51" HD+ 90Hz screen with a notch for the 8MP selfie camera.

A new version 8.5 of the Google Camera app for Pixel smartphones has begun rolling out and 9to5Google has spotted some evidence about the Google Pixel 7 in its latest “APK Insight” post. There’s evidence that suggests that both the Google Pixel 7 and 7 Pro will use new front-facing camera sensors that are capable of recording 4K video. This is denoted by the camera tags found within the APK’s code “p21_front_setup” which was previously only tagged on the Pixel 6 Pro. As of now, it isn’t known whether the Pixel 7 duo will equip the same 11.1MP sensor found in the Google Pixel 6 Pro,...

iQOO is expected to unveil the iQOO 10 and iQOO 10 Pro next month, and we recently heard that the lineup will be the first to have the Dimensity 9000+ SoC at the helm. While there's no word from iQOO about these smartphones yet, reliable tipster Digital Chat Station has shared an image of the iQOO 10's BMW version, revealing its design. iQOO has taken a different approach this time with the BMW version compared to previous BMW edition smartphones - called Legend in India - since there are no vertical BMW-colored stripes on the phone's back panel. Instead, we now have horizontal stripes...

Last year we tested a concept phone from Infinix with a 160W fast charging system. The company has continued working on battery tech since then and has pushed the charge rate even higher. Here is a quick teaser video posted by CEO Benjamin Jiang. Infinix calls this new system “Thunder Charge” and based on the onscreen label, it has a peak power rating of 180W. The clip is only around 10 seconds long but the battery indicator goes up by nearly a full percentage point. So, how fast is Thunder Charge? We don’t know yet. The goal for last year’s 160W system was to completely...

HTC finally released a new phone - the Desire 22 Pro is the latest offering from the storied Taiwanese maker which has shifted its focus on VR in the past years.

Nothing is launching its first phone, simply called phone (1), on July 12. We expect a midranger with a Snapdragon 778G+ chipset, and the latest leak claimed the price will start from INR31,000 in India. This is just south of $400 for an 8/128 GB version. The Nothing phone (1) is also said to have an 8/256 GB version for INR32,000, which is around $420. A third, even more powerful variant, with 12 GB RAM and 256 GB storage is expected to cost INR36,000, which translates to $450. Specs are scarce at this moment, but we already saw the device get certified with 45W fast charging with...

Qualcomm usually unveils its new flagship chipset on the first weekend of December but this year we expect it two weeks earlier. The official website of the San Diego chip company scheduled a Snapdragon Summit for November 14-17, which is likely when we’ll see the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. Screenshot from Qualcomm's website The event was later taken down from the website, and while it could be a false flag, we are keen to believe the chip is really coming in November. That would allow makers like Xiaomi and Motorola to get into the race of being the first maker to launch a phone with...

A new report from Digital Chat Station on Weibo offers some insight on two of Oppo’s upcoming wearable devices. The Oppo Watch 3 will aim to have longer battery life and will come in three different models: OWW211/212/213.

The Xiaomi 12S that leaked last month will be officially unveiled next week - on July 4. This revelation comes from Xiaomi, which also said that the 12S will be joined by the 12S Pro and 12S Ultra at the event. Xiaomi also confirmed its partnership with Leica for the cameras on the 12S series and gave us a glimpse of the three smartphones. Judging by the leaked image of the 12S, we believe the smartphone with the white-colored back panel is the 12S, while the one in the center might be the 12S Pro, and the smartphone on the left might be the 12S Ultra. It has a golden metal frame...

Teslas are known for popularizing the massive touchscreen on the dashboard, but as Tesla owners know all too well, that screen can’t be used to connect your phone using Android Auto or Apple CarPlay. But what if there was a way, a very convoluted way, but a way nonetheless? Tesla Android Project in action - driving around with Apple Maps and listening to Apple Music Developer Michał Gapiński has been working on the “Tesla Android Project” for a few months now and just demonstrated a working solution. Here it is captured on video: The eagle-eyed among you may have noticed...

The new device bearing the CPH2389 model number is believed to be the upcoming Nord N300 5G midranger which may again be exclusive to buyers in North America. The FCC listing also confirmed the phone’s supported 5G bands: n2,n25,n41, n66, n71 and n77.

Oppo unveiled the Reno8 series back in May, but the trio of phones is still confined to the market in China. According to sources, quoted by MSP, the full line-up will make its international debut on July 18 when it arrives in India. Oppo Reno8 Pro+ • Oppo Reno8 Pro • Oppo Reno8 The report claimed three Oppo Reno8 phones will appear in the Asian-Pacific country, and it is a safe bet to assume they are the vanilla, Pro, and Pro+ variants. COVID cases have been on the surge recently, so expectations are the launch will be online-only to avoid any organizational...

The Samsung Galaxy A23 launched in March, a 4G phone powered by the Snapdragon 680. A couple of months later the first clues of a 5G model appeared and now the phone has been spotted at Geekbench. The phone, SM-A236U, seems to be a US version. There should also be a European version as well, at least that is what the initial report from May claimed. The Galaxy A23 5G is powered by the Snapdragon 695, an upgraded version of the SD 690 chip with mmWave 5G support, 15% higher CPU performance and 30% faster GPU (thanks to upgraded Kryo 660 cores and Adreno 619). The mmWave connectivity (if...

The smartphone “charging wars” are predominantly fought on the wired front where some companies already passed the 100W thresh hold giving you a full 0-100% charge in around or even under 20 minutes. But every now and then the battle is carried over on the wireless front where makers are also reaching speeds that were unthinkable a couple of years ago. One such device is the vivo X80 Pro which we reviewed not too long ago and which supports 50W wireless charging. The only catch is that you need a specialized wireless charging stand. We recently received one such charger at our office –...

Welcome to the end of week number 25. Let's take a look back. Samsung has apparently accumulated some 50 million unsold smartphones. The A-series is reportedly mostly to blame, failing to meet its sales targets for one reason or another. 50 million is around 18% of Samsung's planned shipment target this year, which isn't good at all. Samsung made around 20 million units per month early this year, but that dropped to around 10 million in May. This could be a reaction to having too many units stuck in inventory and seeing low demand. The lower demand has also made Samsung cut its component...

Apple’s iPhones have the reputation as having great cameras. For large parts of their history they have been up there with the best, in fact. That started with the iPhone 4 in 2010 (cameras on the original, 3G and 3GS felt more like an afterthought). We’ve already covered this in a Flashback, so we won’t go back quite that far today. Instead, we will look at the last 10 generations of iPhone starting in 2012 with the iPhone 5. If you skim the charts below you will see there isn’t much progress on the resolution front. The iPhone 4 had a 5MP camera, the 4s went up to 8MP, which stuck around...

The Poco F1 is a smartphone legend – it brought a flagship chipset and capable hardware all around at a price of just €300 after a small discount. Does the new Poco F4 embody the same spirit? Or is the Poco X4 GT a better successor? Let’s have a closer look. We’ll start with the Poco X4 GT. It brings the new and exciting Dimensity 8100 chipset and costs €300 for an 8/128GB unit with early bird discounts applied. This price will be valid from Monday (June 27) to July 7, after that it will go up to €380. The 8/256GB unit is €350 with the discount, €430 without it. Poco X4 GT early...

The Samsung Galaxy M53 is the latest smartphone to land at our office for a full review. Our unit comes in blue color, but there are two more options - green and brown. The Galaxy M53 sports a 6.7" 120Hz FullHD+ Super AMOLED+ screen with a punch hole in the center for the 32MP selfie camera capable of recording 4K@30FPS videos. Generally, you'd expect an AMOLED panel to have a fingerprint reader underneath, but that's not the case here since it's embedded in the power button located on the M53's right-side frame. Around the back, we have a square-shaped camera island housing 108MP...

Last week we asked you how much storage you use on your phone. It turns out most can fit within 256GB total. “Total” because we also queried you about your thoughts on microSD slots on phones. Here’s the breakdown. Just over 40% of people can squeeze in 128GB or less. That said, 36% need at least 256GB. This means 128GB models are still viable, but you should be looking at a phone with more room if you want to keep it for a long time. A freshly set up phone is fairly lean, but cruft starts to accumulate pretty fast. Photos you snapped quickly and didn’t intend to keep, images coming...

Nokia seems to be gearing up to launch a new device with the Style+ moniker, at least according to various certification filing leaks from China's China Quality Certification (CQC) and the WiFi Alliance. Now the Style+, model number TA-1448, has also popped up at the FCC in a pretty revealing way. Nokia Style+ FCC filing First off, the leak features a very precise schematic showing that the phone will be 166.1 mm tall and 76.4 mm wide. It also features the general layout of the back of the phone, which looks quite reminiscent of the recently-leaked Nokia G400 design or the...

If you've been keeping up with Pixel news lately, then you probably know that a number of prototype units for both the vanilla Pixel 7 and the Pixel 7 Pro are already out in the wild. Google has generally done a good and swift job hunting these down remotely and "bricking" or deactivating them in some manner, but that hasn't stopped tinkerers from snooping around in what is left like boot logs to dig up specs. A few more low-level details have now been unearthed. In no particular order let's start with the new Tensor 2 chipset. The new leak reaffirms that the Pixel 7 custom GS201...

Samsung US is currently running some tempting promos in its official webstore. These will be active through today and tomorrow, so you have to be fairly quick if something catches your eye. In no particular order, let's start with the Galaxy S22 Ultra. If you go for a top-tier 1TB model, Samsung will instantly give you a $150 rebate.

Yesterday, the Asus ROG Phone 6 surfaced on Geekbench, and TENAA, revealing a lot of its specs, but not its design. Today, TENAA added images to its listing, filling that gap. The ROG Phone DNA is clearly intact, but there's a distinct difference in the camera island on the back of the phone. It's bigger to start, and one of the cameras, we're guessing the ultrawide unit, has a Blue accent. There appears to be a third camera lens, as well. There's also a second screen on the back, not unlike the Asus ROG Phone 5 Ultimate, but it too looks bigger. Asus ROG Phone 6 The Asus...

Leaks have been tracking Google’s work on adopting a new display panel for the Pixel 7 Pro – the new S6E3HC4 panel will have the same 3,120 x 1,440px resolution and same 10-120Hz refresh rate, so what has actually changed from the S6E3HC3 of the Pixel 6 Pro? That question is partially answered by source code that is part of the Android 13 betas. The new display panel will be brighter. Based on the code shown below, the Pixel 7 Pro will let the user go up to 600 nits in Manual mode, 100 nits higher than the 6 Pro offered. In Auto mode, the display will top out at 1,000 nits, up from 800...

One of the upcoming Asus ROG Phone 6 models, ASUS_AI2201_B, has been certified by TENAA. This confirmed some of the key specs, though we’re not sure if this is the vanilla phone or the Pro. Given the memory configuration, it is probably the Pro model. The phone measures 172.8 x 77.3 x 10.4mm, basically the same dimensions as the ROG Phone 5/5 Pro. Only a White colorway is listed, but unfortunately there are not photos attached yet. Despite remaining the same size, the new mode has managed to shave some weight and is now down to 229g (all 5-series models weighed 238g). The current...

Samsung announced a new 200 MP sensor, called ISOCELL HP3. It has the “industry’s smallest pixel” at just 0.56 μm, which is 12% smaller than the predecessor. It promises quicker auto-focusing and even clearer HDR thanks to a new algorithm for stacking images. The new sensor arrived nine months after the ISOCELL HP1, which is technically the first 200MP camera sensor for smartphones, even if we haven’t seen an actual phone with it yet. Since then, Samsung managed to decrease the pixel size from 0.64 μm, making the the new sensor 1/1.4” type - about 20% smaller than the...
