However, there the aperture is fixed at f/1.6. The Z70 Ultra will have a 6-blade aperture that can be closed down or opened up smoothly, as you can see in the demo video below:This will give users fine-grained control over the depth of field of photos and can be used in conjunction with shutter speed to affect the...

We can see the new look in these 3D renders courtesy of Giznext and OnLeaks.The phone will be stepping back in time – the three camera lenses on the back will no longer be separate elements, but will instead be grouped into a camera island with a vertical arrangement. This is akin to what we had with the Galaxy A30s a few years ago, among others.Samsung Galaxy A36 (speculative renders)Samsung will be retaining some design elements from the current A-series, like...

The paint jobs are Black, Green, Silver, and White with BMW M Motorsport branding, and the phone will have a tiny strip of halo light on the island, which should act as a notification light. There is a regular LED flash next to the cameras, unlike the previous generation when it was outside the island. We can also...

Not just that, but it's the first model to use Qualcomm's Snapdragon 4s Gen 2 platform, which was created specifically for entry-level 5G handsets. That's all well and good, but during the official semi-announcement, Redmi forgot to tell us anything about the price (or most of its specs). Luckily though, a new leak is here today to fill in the blanks. First, price. The A4 is said to go for INR 8,499 when all possible offers and discounts are included. That's bargain basement...

The case design, however, remains largely unchanged except for the addition of a small speaker on the bottom.Inside the earbuds is a new Google Tensor A1 chip, which is more powerful than the chip on the Buds Pro and can allegedly...

The company's Indian division just posted a teaser on social media, promising the series is "coming soon" with a Snapdragon 7s Gen 3, periscope camera, and AI Ultra Clarity 2.0. The marketing slogan reads "two-gen ahead" because the chip is one step further, but the camera performance is another. The phones, likely a Pro and Pro+, will bring a "significant performance advantage", making the devices "far more capable". Realme 14 Pro Series features AI Ultra Clarity is...

We’ll be taking a closer look at the vanilla Note 14 in this article, which actually boasts a few differences from the Chinese model, which launched in September. While the Indian/global Note 14 looks similar to its Chinese counterpart, it brings an optical in-display fingerprint scanner and a 20MP front-facing cam. The phone still gets a 6.67-inch AMOLED with FHD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate with 2,100 nits of peak brightness, and...

The phone will be the successor of the Honor 90 GT, but it seems like the company will omit the number from the name, simply calling the new phone Honor GT. This new phone will have two cameras, the main one featuring a 50 MP sensor and OIS. It also has a triple-LED flash. Honor has already listed the phone for pre-order at its own e-store, and also shared a few photos on social media. The phone will have a flat frame and a single punch hole at the front.

The case still has the geometric patterns that Huawei implemented in the Pro and the GT 4 predecessor. We received a 41 mm with a Blue strap, where the geometric shapes are somewhat more subtle.

What it didn’t mention is that Pixels now have an option to limit the battery charge, which caps it at 80% to extend its life. And there’s an extra feature too. The Google Pixel 8 series and the Pixel 9 series now support bypass “charging” – it powers the phone from an external source (typically a wall adapter, but a good enough power bank should also work) instead of the internal battery. To enable this, you need to toggle the 80% charge limit – then the battery will neither...

So, the company plans on equipping both the Galaxy Z Flip7 and the Galaxy Z Flip FE, which is also expected in 2025, with the Exynos 2500 SoC.

In its home market of China, Oppo was a solid top brand - virtually matching vivo and trading blows with Honor, Xiaomi, and Huawei.But on the global stage, we saw very few products from Oppo. The company only resolved its patent disputes with Nokia at the start of the year and it takes time for the portfolio to be realigned for global launches. We were disappointed that some of Oppo's finest efforts were kept to China, but at least the Find X8 series finally marked the start of the long-awaited return.Winner: Oppo Find X8The Find X8 series...
