The Samsung Galaxy M51 announced yesterday will debut in India on September 10 at noon local time. The Galaxy M51 is powered by the Snapdragon 730 SoC and runs Android 10-based One UI 2.0 out of the box. It has 6GB RAM and 128GB of expandable storage. The M51 is built around a 6.7" FullHD+ Super AMOLED display having a punch hole up top in the center for the 32MP selfie camera. Around the back, it has an L-shaped quad camera setup, comprising a 64MP primary, 12MP ultrawide, 5MP macro and 5MP depth sensor units. The biggest highlight of the Galaxy M51, however, is its massive...

Samsung’s got two smartphones in the pipeline expected to arrive very soon. The Galaxy Z Fold2 was announced at Unpacked last month and we began seeing leaks of the Galaxy S20 FE (Fan Edition) more recently. On Monday, benchmark results for both devices have appeared on the Geekbench database.

On Monday, Motorola is announcing a new midrange 5G smartphone. The Motorola One 5G is essentially a rebranded Moto G 5G Plus headed to the US market with a unique ring flash. The company doesn’t yet have an exact price point, but it promises the phone will cost under $500. The Moto One 5G comes with the same specs as the G 5G Plus. It has a total of six cameras: four on the back and two in the front. One of the selfie cameras is a 16MP f/2.0 camera and the other is an 8MP ultra wide shooter for wide selfies. Around back, the main camera is a 48MP shooter, an 8MP ultra-wide, a...

Previously only available in the UK and the US, Samsung's Pay Cards can now be acquired in South Korea as well. In a collaboration with MasterCard, Samsung is finally able to bring its physical card to its home country. Everything can be managed within the Samsung Pay app - from transactions and payments to security-related options. The Samsung Pay card now offers a 1% discount for offline purchases and 1.5% for online transactions. But until December 31 this year, the card will offer 0.5% additional discount for Samsung Pay-related payments and 2% for online shopping sites. And if...

Read the original post: Google’s “Sabrina” Android TV Unit Shows Up at Home Depot for $50 We must be getting incredibly close to Google’s fall “Made by Google” hardware event, as one of the expected devices for such an occasion just showed up at a couple of US retailers. The Android TV dongle called “Sabrina” made an appearance at the retailer in a couple of colors and with a potential price tag that will be hard for anyone to beat. The listings were first spotted by 9to5Google from Home Depot and can still be found with cached Google pages under two colors ( blue , gray ) and model numbers (GA01923-US, GA01919-US). There is supposedly a third color (“Summer Melon”) and model number (GA01920-US), but we couldn’t find that listing. Walmart is preparing to list the device as well, as can be seen at this cached page , that we just discovered. Home Depot lists Sabrina as some sort of bundle with another device called “Abbey” and has it priced at $49.99. Walmart, on the other hand, has...

The ZTE Axon 20 5G will be unveiled later today, September 1, but you can have a peek at the phone right now – check out the video below to see it in action. Of course, the unique feature of this phone is the one you can’t see, the first under-screen selfie camera on a mass produced phone. The video shows both a white background as well as moving images and there are no visible artifacts – no dimmer area, no place where the animation looks funky. ZTE talked about how the screen and camera work to achieve this seamless integration and included a camera sample to show off the image quality...

The Redmi 9A will be introduced to the Indian market on September 2 at 12 noon local time. The phone’s landing page on Amazon India is already live and reveals first sales will begin on September 4. This will be the third Redmi 9 phone to launch in India after the Redmi 9 Prime and Redmi 9. The Redmi 9A features a 6.53-inch HD+ LCD, MediaTek Helio G25 chipset and 5,000 mAh battery. In addition the company teased its first wired in-ear earphones through a cryptic tweet. The message on the post reads #WiredForEverything confirming we’re not dealing with a TWS product and also teased the...

Qualcomm just announced its new mid-range offering, the Snapdragon 732G chipset, and it's already designated to the Poco X3. While the phone wasn't explicitly named the announcement of the chipset quoted Sam Jiang from Poco, who said his company will be the first to use the new chipset. "We are extremely excited about the upcoming POCO smartphone and our collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies that allowed us to create the first device on the market with the latest Snapdragon 732G Mobile Platform,” said Sam Jiang, head of products, POCO Global. “We believe the device will set a...

Last month Realme confirmed it will attend the IFA conference in Berlin for the first time in its history. Today the company laid out its plans for the September 4 event. Realme will “introduce its latest brand and product strategy” and everything will be live-streamed on YouTube. It is scheduled to begin at 12:25 PM local time, but we’ll hear news only about the AIoT and 5G ecosystem. The IFA event will be the first time Madhav Sheth will appear as the newly appointed CEO of Realme Europe, revealing the company's roadmap for 2020 at the Old Continent. The company promised it will...

Read the original post: DEAL: Home Max Smart Speaker Down to $199 Virtually Everywhere ($100 Off) Google has yet to announce a followup to the original Home Max , but honestly, it’d be tough to improve upon this awesome speaker. If you already own, you’ll know what I’m talking about. These speakers sound amazing and get plenty loud, plus they have all of the Assistant-powered smarts you expect from Google. Point being, the Home Max is still a good buy. Virtually everywhere currently has the smart speaker priced at $199, which is $100 off its usual price. You’ll find it on sale via Google’s own store, Best Buy, Target, and even Bed Bath & Beyond. The only place I was surprised not to see it on sale is Walmart. Sorry if that’s where you do your shopping. If you’re looking to up the smarts of a particular room in your house or want to smarten up your TV soundbar (this device makes for the perfect Bluetooth-powered smart soundbar), follow any number of the links below.

The Snapdragon 730G proved to be a popular chip for mid-range smartphones and was used in the likes of the Pixel 4a, Poco X2 and Mi Note 10 Pro. Manufacturers looking for a bit more speed can now go with the faster Snapdragon 732G. It’s the same 8nm silicone as the 730G, but with higher clock speeds. The two big Kryo 470 cores now run at 2.3 GHz (+0.1 GHz over the old chip) while the Adreno 618 GPU has been boosted to deliver 15% more performance. Snapdragon 720G Snapdragon 730G Snapdragon 732G CPU (big cores) 2x Kryo 465 @ 2.3 GHz 2x...

Lenovo introduced two tablets – one premium and one for kids – plus a new smart clock today. Let’s start with the high end slate, which the company describes as its “most powerful and premium consumer Android tablet”. Lenovo Tab P11 Pro The Lenovo Tab P11 Pro is built around an 11.5” OLED display with 2,560 x 1,600 px resolution (16:10 aspect ratio). This tablet targets audio-visual excellence with HDR10 and Dolby Vision support. On the audio front, there are four JBL speakers, which boast large 2.5 cc chambers and Dolby Atmos optimizations for cinematic surround sound. The...

Read the original post: Qualcomm Introduces Snapdragon 732G Chipset As a follow-up to the Snapdragon 730G, which was the chip used in the Google Pixel 4a , Qualcomm today announced the Snapdragon 732G. This is the chip you’ll likely see going forward in mid-range phones that don’t have 5G. The details here to know are that Qualcomm is boosting performance, even as they use the same Kryo 470 CPU Prime core and Adreno 618 GPU. In the GPU alone, you could see a 15% improvement in graphics rendering, while the top clock speed for the CPU is now at 2.3GHz. Qualcomm is also adding select Snapdragon Elite Gaming experiences to the 732G, like “intuitive interactions and predictive user experiences with distributed intelligence twice as powerful as previous generations.” This is mostly important for those worried about battery and power efficiency. Again, this is an LTE chip, so don’t expect it to power affordable 5G phones. As far as we know, that will still be the focus for the Snapdragon...

Samsung announced that it kicks off production of the world's first 16GB LPDDR5 DRAM for mobile devices. And it's the first to use the 3rd generation 10nm 1z process based on the EUV technology. It has allowed Samsung to bring down the thickness of the chips by 30%. The new 16GB LPDDR5 DRAM memory requires only eight chips to do so whereas previously, eight chips were required to make a 12GB package. This means that even though thinner, the new generation DRAM packs more capacity as well. In terms of performance, the 16GB package outperforms the 12GB LPDDR5 solutions by 16% - 6,400...

Read the original post: Lenovo’s New $50 Smart Clock Essential is an Actual Smart Bedside Clock The original Lenovo Smart Clock was a cute little smart display that often wanted to act more like a smart clock than some of the bigger smart displays on the market. Today, Lenovo introduced a sibling called the Smart Clock Essential , and it really is mostly a clock that does keep its Google Assistant smarts. The new Smart Clock Essential is basically a Google Home or Assistant-powered speaker with a digital clock on its face that can also show you limited info, like the weather. That 4″ clock face is a pretty basic LED setup that should provide excellent visibility no matter the time of day. If you need some smarts still, the Smart Clock Essential does act like a smart speaker, so you can ask Google Assistant to set reminders, check on your day, play music or podcasts, control your smart home, etc. But again, the display isn’t going to show you Google Photos or visual weather – it’s j...

A pair of upcoming Realme phones passed through China’s 3C and revealing their charging speeds and not much else. The first listing is for the Realme X7 which bears the RMX2176 model number. It’s expected to launch tomorrow in China alongside Pro and Special versions and we’ve seen most of its key specs leak so far including its 65W SuperDART charging. The phone is also expected to come with a 120Hz AMOLED display and 1,200 nits of brightness. Realme X7 certification Moving on to the second listing which reveals a device bearing the RMX2200 model number. This is speculated to be...

Read the original post: Motorola One 5G is Heads to US at Around $500 and It’ll be Super Tempting Any chance you remember the Moto G 5G Plus that Motorola announced a few weeks back that we would have loved to get our hands on, only it wasn’t expected to stop through a US retailer at any time? Today, Motorola announced the Motorola One 5G for AT&T and Verizon, and yeah, it’s basically that phone! The Motorola One 5G is a sub-$500 smartphone (we’ll update shortly with exact pricing) that matches up almost exactly to the Moto G 5G. It has a 6.7″ full HD+ display with 90Hz refresh rate and HDR10 support, Snapdragon 765 processor, 128GB storage (with 1TB microSD support), 4GB RAM, 5000mAh battery (15W TurboPower charging), 3.5mm headphone jack, Bluetooth 5.1, 802.11ac WiFi, 5G, and Android 10. For those familiar with Motorola’s weird obsession with cutting NFC from their budget phones in the US, fear not – this phone has NFC. For cameras, we have the same quad-camera setup as the ...

Read the original post: Google Creates Kids Space to Help Our Kids Discover and Learn My kid starts 1st grade on Wednesday in a virtual setting and I can tell you that the stress level in this household is steadily climbing as each hour passes. I know that we’ll get through this frustrating time, that my wife and I will do our best to act as at-home teacher’s aides to help his brain gobble up as much info as it can, and that once it is safe, my son will one day get to learn and play with other kids again in a school setting. But I can also tell you that before that day comes, I’ll take any and all resources available to provide new learning opportunities or even something that may give us all a break from the learning stresses. Google is opening up a Google Kids Space starting today, which is a kids mode on select Android tablets that might be a new go-to resource. Google says it designed Kids Space to help kids explore the “things they love” by allowing them to select interests th...

Well over a year ago Oppo demonstrated a prototype foldable phone at the MWC, however nothing came of it. Since then multiple patents have surfaced, revealing various designs that the company is experimenting with. The latest design to crop up is a clamshell, kind of like an inverted Moto RAZR, and it has an interesting feature – angle detection. The phone is designed to fold with the screen remaining outside. Folded, it’s fairly compact and squarish, but doesn’t need an external screen like the RAZR. It’s more similar to the RAZR rather than the Galaxy Z Flip as one half is slightly...

Xiaomi is reportedly preparing to launch its first smartwatch in India, the Mi Watch Revolve. It will be joined by the company’s latest smart band, the Mi Band 5. The watch is actually the Xiaomi Mi Watch Color rather than a new model. It seems that “Revolve” will be the global name for the time piece not just for India. The elevator pitch for the watch is a 1.39” AMOLED display, stainless steel body, 14-day battery life and a MIUI-customized version of Wear OS. It launched at CNY 800 in China, which translates to INR 8,600 or so (not accounting for local taxes). The Xiaomi Mi...

Samsung Display has sold its LCD plant in Suzhou, China, insiders reveal. The main buyer is the local company CSOT which is owned by TCL, the conglomerate that also builds the alcatel smartphones. The (former) Samsung complex in Suzhou, China The total deal is worth $1.8 billion - 60% of the plant will be owned by CSOT, 10% by its parent company TCL, while the rest 30% will be handed out to the Suzhou government. The plant produced 27% of Samsung Display’s total amount of LCD panels, with most of them being for monitors and TVs. This step is a confirmation to earlier reports that...

Sony’s Xperia 5 II is all set to debut on September 17 and has been leaking left and right in the past weeks. The latest entry in the rumor mill is the phone’s Geekbench test run which reveals the expected - it’s powered by a Snapdragon 865 with 8GB RAM and runs Android 10. The listing shows the phone will bear the Sony SO-52A model number and it manages 909 points in the single-core run and 3,323 in the multi-core department. These numbers are in the upper echelon of Snapdragon 865 powered phones and could imply Sony has done some overclocking to the CPU. Xperia 5 II Geekbench run...

It was late July when Realme announced some impressive results, including the number of global smartphone users - 40 million. Just five and a half weeks later the company has added 5 million to the tally to reach another milestone - 45 million users. The milestone announcement in Chinese The announcement was made on Weibo just a day ahead of the unveiling of Realme X7 and Realme X7 Pro. With both phones looking impressive inside and out, the number of users is likely to grow even higher. Realme already revealed it is going for the ambitious plan of reaching 50 million smartphone...

The Samsung Galaxy M51 has been a subject of a number of leaks for the last month or so and with the teaser from last week from Samsung, we were expecting the handset to make an appearance in India first. But to our surprise, the phone went official on Samsung's official German website. Of course, the rumors were right all along so the specs aren't necessarily a surprise. The centerpiece feature of the phone is the humongous 7,000 mAh battery promising more than two days on a single charge with support for 25W fast charging. The chipset behind the wheel is the Snapdragon 730, although...

Huawei has been pushing wearables with impressive battery life - we’ve seen sporty watches like the Watch GT 2 or simple bands with basic functions like the Band 4. Now we also have Huawei Watch Fit - the latest smartwatch from the Chinese company that comes with a big rectangular display and promises a long battery life with plenty of features. The Huawei Watch Fit has a 1.64” AMOLED screen with slightly curved edges from all sides. The watch is made from “durable polymer fiber” which is a fancy name for plastic, and there is a single button on the side. It comes in three colors and...

The new affordable lineup by Huawei is going to be called Enjoy 20 and we finally have an official launch date - September 3, which is this Thursday. At the event we expect to see two smartphones - Huawei Enjoy 20 and Huawei Enjoy 20 Plus, and thanks to the official poster, we finally know what they’ll look like. Having three or four shooters lined up like a hotplates isn’t something new for Huawei - the Mate 20 lineup introduced it first, but the square setup moved to the upper left corner with the nova 6 SE. The Enjoy 20 Plus also looks familiar - the circular design came with the...

The Sony WF-1000XM3 were Sony's first truly wireless in-ear noise-canceling earphones. Launched in July of last year, they quickly became the most well regarded TWS noise-canceling earphones on the market. For many, it had the same combination of great active noise-canceling and good enough audio quality that the full-size WH-1000XM3 offered, but in a more discreet form. Now, over a full year later, Sony launched these earphones in the Indian market, which allowed me to do a full review on them. While I had tried them on previously after I briefly borrowed a pair from a fellow tech...

The trending chart this week was mostly driven by the rumor mill as the phones coming in the next few days got the most attention. The Realme 7 Pro got the lion's share of attention, ahead of the Oppo F17 Pro - the two managed to dethrone the Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra days before their official debuts. The former leader is now on the third step of the podium, just ahead of the Redmi Note 9 Pro, which retains fourth. The Samsung Galaxy Note20 Ultra has lost a lot of ground and is now fifth, as the newly announced Infinix Zero 8 enters the chart in sixth. The Redmi Note 9 is down to...

Welcome to this week's recap of the most exciting stories. Let's get started! Asus unveiled the Zenfone 7 and Zenfone 7 Pro and they're mostly identical. What sets them apart is the 7 Pro uses a Snapdragon 865+, has OIS on its main and zoom camera and has a 256GB model, while the vanilla 7 is SD865, has no OIS on its cameras and tops out at 128GB. The pair launch globally on September 1. Realme has two launches planned for next week. The Realme X7 and X7 and X7 Pro will be made official in China on September 1 with 120Hz AMOLED screens, while the Realme 7 and 7 Pro will go live in...

The Asus Zenfone 7 Pro is a significant improvement over the previous generation. The Zenfone 6 from last year was pretty capable too, but it had issues translating that into sales. Can the new generation do better? Let's start with the roomy 6.67” AMOLED display from Samsung with 90 Hz refresh rate, high brightness and excellent color accuracy. It only has 1080p resolution, though, while most premium models have moved to 1440p. Except gaming phones, but this isn’t a gaming phone. Unblemished 90 Hz AMOLED display with HDR10+ • Thanks to the flip-up camera It could be, as it has...

Not long after phones first learned how to take photos came the first phones with dedicated selfie cameras. But the arrival of 3G networks meant that not just any camera would do – a core feature of 3G was the native video calls. Barely anyone did that, but we got some interesting phones out of it. Like the Sony Ericsson V800, for instance, which had a camera that normally pointed away from you to take photos, but could be rotated to point towards you too. Back then you had to rotate it manually, that was the norm. And it remained so until the Oppo N1 arrived. The phone is notable for...

Last week’s poll shows that the image quality of selfies is not a priority – instead most people prefer a sleek-looking, waterproof phone. 75% of voters were in favor of under-display cameras while only 25% preferred the flip-up design. Durability really proved to be a key concern, beyond just water resistance. Many are still not convinced that the flip-up mechanism will last the lifetime of the phone. Also, the mechanism does take up a lot more volume. Asus claims the Zenfone 7 motor has more than double the torque of last year’s model and that the flip up can withstand 35 kg pushing...

In case you missed it, Sony already confirmed that the Xperia 5 II is going to be made official on September 17. A specs leak and a promo video later, there is now very little mystery left surrounding the smartphone. Still, here are a couple of extra, very detailed images of the incoming compact flagship, courtesy of Evan Blass. Sony Xperia 5 II: Black • Grey These show the Xperia 5 II in Black and Grey, with another earlier leaked render, already showcasing the device in Blue. Sony’s continued insistence on an odd naming scheme aside, there is quite a lot for prospective...

If the original Nokia Power Earbuds BH-605 flew below your radar, we recommend giving our review a quick read. These turned out to be a hidden gem, offering great audio quality and an amazing battery life. If you can live with the slightly bigger and heavier design, there really isn’t much else to want out of the €90 MSPR buds. Well, apparently a Lite version is nearly ready for prime time, as evidenced by a grainy photo and a Bluetooth SIG certification document. Going by the BH-405 model number, we don’t really know what the Power Earbuds Lite have skipped-on to get that “lite”...

We already know that Huawei is working on at least one new smart wearable – the Watch Fit. A new and rather bountiful leak now adds a Watch GT 2 Pro to the list, as well. Like the name suggests, this is not an entirely new device, like the rectangular Fit, but rather an upgrade, or next iteration of the company’s flagship GT line of wearables. There is a lot to note here, so, in no particular order, we start with the fact that, apparently, the Watch GT 2 Pro will come in at least a Classic and a Sport variant. With Nebula Gray and Night Black as a pair from what will likely be a...

HMD Global’s participation in IFA 2020 is already quite certain, along with info that the company will be unveiling a slew of new budget to mid-range devices at the show. The Nokia 3.4, codenamed “Doctor Strange”, will likely be among these, alongside the Nokia 2.4, known as “Wolverine”. Having stopped by GeekBench already, the Nokia 3.4 is clearly out there, in industry-insider circles. That’s how today’s leak came into existence, with a tipster claiming to have the unit or, at least, actual pictures of it, which can not be released. Enter what is essentially a “fan made” render of the...

Read the original post: TicWatch Pro 3 With Snapdragon Wear 4100 Gets Price, October 1 Launch Date Those of us who remain Wear OS fans are eagerly awaiting the arrival of a fresh wave of watches powered by Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon Wear 4100 chip. The latest wearable chip from Qualcomm has the potential to dramatically improve performance on Wear OS watches and possibly introduce new sport experiences, better battery life, a richer always-on display, and more. The first 4100 watch to pay attention to, as revealed back in June when Qualcomm announced the chip, should be the Mobvoi TicWatch Pro 3 . We thought Mobvoi was ready to give us more details on this new watch back in June, but the company has since gone silent, leaving its launch somewhat up in the air. Today, a listing on Amazon may give us a date where we can learn more. Aside from a fresh photo of the watch (above), the Amazon UK listing will currently let you pre-order the TicWatch Pro 3, saying that they expect it to ar...

Read the original post: SHIELD TV Pro Sees Rare Discount, is $10 Off Today NVIDIA’s SHIELD TV Pro , the bigger unit with slightly better specs that is meant to act as a media server as well as an Android TV box, is discounted today at Amazon. The discount is just $10, but this device has rarely seen any discount and was at one time soldout for what seemed like months. Today, Amazon dropped the price to $189.99, appears to have it in-stock still, and will deliver pretty quickly with Prime shipping. To recap, this newest SHIELD TV Pro features a Tegra X1+ chipset , 16GB onboard storage, 3GB RAM, 802.11ac WiFi, Bluetooth 5.0, and two USB 3.0 ports. Those USB ports are what helps this unit standout from the smaller, tube version, because that’s where you can connect external storage and become the pirate king media streamer you always dreamed of. Also, this SHIELD TV Pro includes the awesome new triangle remote that is absolutely the best part about this new SHIELD. Amazon Deal Link...

Realme really isn’t making it easy to follow its upcoming announcements. Thus far, we know for a fact that a September 1 event will be held in China, to unveil the Realme X7, Realme X7 Pro and likely a third “Special Version”, expected to depute the Snapdragon 860 chipset. Following that, an India event, set for September 3, is expected to launch the Realme 7 and Realme 7 Pro. Two devices, that were originally thought to be simple re-brands on the X7 series, but are increasingly shaping-up as their own thing. Realme 7 hands-on In a new set of shots, taken from a now...

Realme is expected to drop its new X7 family of phones on September 1. Leaks and rumors have been flying all over the place, but as far as we currently know, there are a total of three handsets to expect. A vanilla Realme X7, allegedly sporting a big bold “DARE TO LEAP” text on the back, a Realme X7 Pro and potentially a third “Special Version”, expected to depute the Snapdragon 860 chipset. Realme X7 Pro retail box and price The middle-child “Pro” variant has definitely been the most widely-leaked of the three and this new development is no exception. We now have a few...

After Asus CEO Jerry Shen resigned back at the end of 2018, the company started to slightly shift focus away from the budget smartphone segment, focusing squarely on flagships and the gaming ROG lineup. While cheaper models, like the ZenFone Live (L2), have been trickling-out onto the market, until as late as April last year, these don’t come anywhere near the popularity of the company’s last budget hit – The ZenFone Max Pro (M2). According to a new leak, things might change soon, as Asus is currently working on four devices, with chipsets codenamed “Lito”, “Lagoon”, “Bengal”, and “Scuba”....

The Samsung Galaxy S20 FE leaked in a 360-degree video last week. The Galaxy S20 FE isn’t exactly a rebranded S20, it’s meant to be a successor to the Galaxy S10 Lite. It was previously reported that the Galaxy S20 FE would arrive in six different color options and in both 4G and 5G variants. The latest report from DealNTech shows leaked pricing for the S20 FE 5G in Canadian Dollars. A database revealed a price of CAD 1,148.65 for the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE. This converts to roughly USD 876 but we might see an even lower price, should this device make it to the US market. The listed...

The 2020 Moto Razr is coming and the latest leak comes from none other than @evleaks. We’ve already seen the Moto Razr 2020 leak a few times and the latest leak doesn’t reveal any new information. A labeled diagram of the phone has surfaced, likely from the AT&T branded phone’s user manual. The power key is shown on the upper left side of the phone with the volume buttons on the upper right side. The fingerprint sensor remains roughly in the same place – though this time the Moto batwing logo will be the scanner. The first images of the 2020 Razr came in late July when we saw...

A couple of days ago a leaked hands-on video showed the upcoming LG Wing in action for a few seconds, with its weird T shape and rotating form factor. Today, a new video is out, this time showing us what gaming will be like on this unique device. The Wing has a main screen that rotates into landscape mode to reveal a smaller secondary panel under it and create that T shape. The main display is rumored to be 6.8", while the smaller one is around 4". According to an unnamed source, the Wing will be priced at around $1,000 when it launches in the US this fall. Verizon may be one of the...

Samsung has long been rumored to expand its foldable smartphone line even more, with a more affordable device to complement the Z Fold2 in a similar form factor. We'll call this Galaxy Z Fold Lite for now, although that name is just an assumption on our part. This phone has so far been rumored to sport the model number SM-F415F, which makes sense because in Samsung's naming scheme, the first "F" stands for "foldable", while the low number implies this will be lower-end (and lower priced) than the original Galaxy Fold and the Galaxy Z Fold 2. This model number has now been spotted among...

Just a day after the massive Sony Xperia 5 II leak yesterday, Android Headlines managed to snatch a promo video of the upcoming device and it looks quite legitimate. The promo video shows the Xperia 5 II from all angles solidifying the renders we've already seen. And, of course, it looks more like its predecessor than the Xperia 1 II due to the rounded edges. We can once again see the mysterious button positioned right next to the power button and the volume rocker and the return of the 3.5mm audio jack.

Poco’s Product Marketing Manager and Global Spokesperson is doling out details for the Poco X3. The phone will indeed have a 64 MP camera, the manager confirmed, and shared the first camera sample from the phone. First official Poco X3 camera sample (down-scaled) Unfortunately, it’s downscaled – the phone should be taking 16 MP photos with pixel binning. You can also catch a glimpse of the camera UI below. It’s similar but not identical to what we saw on the F2 Pro, for example. Poco X3 taking a photo That wasn’t the only teaser for today, Poco X3’s battery can be charged...

For this episode of the Droid Life Show , we have a number of reviews to run through, including the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, Pixel 4a, and Galaxy Watch 3. Once we finish with those, we’ll move onto Galaxy Z Fold 2 launch and pricing, Pixel 5 and 4a 5G leaks, a $200 OnePlus phone, Motorola’s next Razr event, Surface Duo details and pricing, and some wearable fun, which I know you all love.

Apple just agreed to settle the dispute over a design flaw plaguing the Powerbeats 2 headphones outside of court. The company didn't admit that there was indeed an issue with the 2014 Powerbeats 2 but it said it's easier and cheaper to settle without having to go to court. As a result, Apple has agreed to pay out $9.75 million. Apple marketed the headphones as sweat and water-resistant and built to "endure". Customers claim that this isn't exactly the case and the buds would stop holding a charge after "minimal use". So if you bought a pair of Powerbeats 2 before August 7 and you...

Read the original post: OnePlus Reportedly has a $200 Budget Phone for the US OnePlus made the weird decision to leave OnePlus Nord out of the US, while assuring the world that another budget-friendly phone would come here later on. We hoped that phone would be of equal quality to Nord, since Nord carries a friendly price and experience that feels more premium than cheap. However, a new report suggests we are getting the short end of the affordable phone stick. READ : OnePlus Nord review According to Android Central , OnePlus is working on a phone under codename “Clover” that could cost as little as $200. The phone is said to run a low-end Qualcomm Snapdragon 460 chipset with a 6.5″ 720p LCD display, 4GB RAM, 64GB storage, rear fingerprint reader, 3.5mm headphone jack, triple rear camera (13MP+2MP+2MP), and a whoppin’ 6000mAh battery. A previous report suggested we may see a phone with a Snapdragon 690 processor , though we haven’t heard much on that since. A phone with that lev...

Read the original post: Verizon OnePlus 8, LG G5 and V60 All Receive August Security Patch Verizon is shipping out the August security patch to a host of devices this week, those devices including the OnePlus 8 , LG G5, LG V20, and LG V60. While the G5 and V20 are solely getting the August patch, the changelogs for the OnePlus 8 and V60 list a few more things. For example, the OnePlus 8 is also receiving “improved Wi-Fi connectivity” and “new signal icons.” We assume that’s the 5G to 5G UW icon that all compatible Verizon devices are getting, which looks like this . The LG V60 is getting this same icon change, as well as a “WiFi Calling Emergency Address List Update.” All this change does is add District of Columbia to a dropdown menu for those filling out location information for when you call 911 via WiFi calling. Here are the updated build numbers, which you should see following the update. If you don’t, then you have bigger problems. Updated Software Version Numbers OnePlus ...

This is how tech companies flex in front of their peers – the Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra is outstanding in several categories, it feels designed to impress. Unfortunately, this commemorative edition phone (which celebrates Xiaomi turning 10 years old) will not be available outside of China, meaning that for most of the world it’s something to gawk at but never touch. We did receive a review unit, so (if you don’t mind) we'll now tell you what you’re missing out on. We’ll start with the charging as this is the first 100+ Watt phone that we’ve handled – indeed, it is the first on the market (beating...

The Samsung Galaxy Note20 duo is now on open sale and it's time for some numbers. The Korean tech giant's UK arm has summed up the pre-order campaign and the numbers look great. Compared to the Galaxy Note10, the Note20 lineup sold 49% more units during the pre-order phase with the hero Mystic Bronze color accounting for about 46% of those. However, Samsung doesn't say how these sales are distributed between the Note20 and the Note20 Ultra 5G. Numbers from China indicated that the more premium offering is outselling the vanilla model 10:1, although those were based on a very small...

The global units of the almost-two-year-old Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 has started receiving the final version of the MIUI 12 software. The software version is V12.0.1.0.QEEMIXM and brings a lot of novelties, as the detailed changelog below shows. For instance, there are two new swipe down gestures. Swiping from the upper-right corner of the screen will open up the so-called Control center and swipe down from the left corner to open up the Notification shade. Screenshot of the changelog The list also mentions something about brightness and color improvements for wallpapers in Dark...

The Samsung Galaxy S20 FE will receive four months of YouTube Premium – but that’s not the important part, the interesting bit is that this info comes from the official Samsung.com site. Better yet, it mentions both the Galaxy S20 FE and Galaxy S20 FE 5G. This means that there will be an LTE version in some markets – it’s not clear if it will overlap with the markets that get the 5G model, but if it does, the 4G version will cost less. Also note that Samsung officially calls this phone the “FE” rather than “Fan Edition” (even though that’s what the letters stand for). Anyway,...

ZTE is going to launch the Axon 20 5G on September 1 as the first commercially available smartphone with an under-display selfie camera. The company went on Weibo and explained how the device will manage to take photos with no glare or fogging despite having the OLED stretch over the lens. ZTE has implemented a special film with anti-reflective coating that maximizes the transparency of the screen without ruining the quality of the image. The screen of the Axon 20 5G consists of seven layers - the protective glass, a polarizer, touch panel, an encapsulation glass, the OLED panel,...
