Click Here To Register...] The Nothing Phone (2a) is on its way and we may now know what it will look like.A seemingly official press image of the upcoming device is here to dispel these early hands-on images (because the dual camera is in the wrong place), and suggest that the Phone (2a) won't feature a Glyph interface.The render shows a phone with a transparent rear panel very similar to the Nothing Phone (1) and (2) but without a wireless charging coil and seemingly no LEDs for a Glyph interface.Previous rumors have given us an overall good idea of the specs - a 6.7-inch AMOLED display with FHD+...

Click Here To Register...] vivo has already made the V30 Lite and V30 official, and so now only one member of the family is still missing - the vivo V30 Pro. It won't be missing for long, as it turns out, since it's just received its Bluetooth certification.This is usually one of the first certifications a new model passes, so the V30 Pro is probably not imminently launching, but it shouldn't take long anyway.

[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] The iPhone SE may not be dead after all. Following an early 2023 report that claimed Apple was done with the affordable line, we heard back in December that the iPhone SE 4 would use the iPhone 14's battery. Previously, we even saw renders purportedly showing the next-gen model with an iPhone XR-like design, complete with notch.Today a new rumor says there will be no notch on the next iPhone SE, instead Apple choosing to equip it with the Dynamic Island cutout and assorted functionality, first seen in the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max.You can see what that would look like in...

Spoiler alert – Apple did some clever marketing tricks with the whole “more than a 4K TV for each eye” claim it made during the Vision Pro announcement.The pair of micro OLED screens are each estimated to offer a 3,660 x 3,200 pixel per eye resolution which technically does not fulfill the requirements for 4K resolution which is 3,840 x 2,160px. Vision Pro is still plenty sharp and each of its displays packs a whopping 3,380 pixels per inch...

MGIE, short for multimodal large language models-guided image editing, is currently available on GitHub and there's a PDF project paper with instructions.The model uses text instructions to change and edit images.

[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] Last week we got the first clue that the vivo V30 Pro is close to launch, a certification by the Bluetooth SIG. Now the phone has surfaced in the Geekbench database, flexing its Dimensity 8200 muscles.At least this appears to be the chipset in question. The V30 Pro was said to be based on the vivo S18 Pro, though that one came with the more powerful Dimensity 9200+ (and is only available in China).It’s too early to discuss the benchmark scores as they vary quite a bit even with just two runs in the database – one is 1,045/3,637 in single/multi-core, the other is 1,223/3,784.

[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] Welcome to your week 6 recap. OnePlus defended its policy of giving its users 5 years of software updates (4 years of major OS updates, and 5 years of security support) over the 7 years of Samsung and Google. OnePlus is focusing on the quality of the software and its fluidity over what it deems a promise that misses that point.A press image made the rounds this week, supposedly of Nothing's first midranger, the Phone (2a). It showed a phone without a Glyph interface and a similar design to the Nothing Phone (1). It turns out the render isn't of the Phone (2a) - Steve H. McFly (aka...

[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] It was clear as far back as 2017 that metal is the preferred material for a phone body. But which metal? Aluminum is the default, Apple used stainless steel for a few years before switching to titanium and Samsung followed that move too.Each has its advantages. Aluminum is cheap and light. Stainless steel offers great strength, but is too heavy. That may be why Apple had to switch to titanium – it’s more durable than aluminum but lighter than steel. For example, the iPhone 14 Pro Max weighs 240g, the 15 Pro Max is 221g.Titanium is, of course, hard to work with and expensive, so it’s...

Neither of them is shaping up to be a hot seller, but the plus model is certainly the winner here.Let’s start with the Realme 12 Pro as this will be short. Only 1 in 10 people are interested in this model, with 2 more that can be talked into getting one if the phone gets great results in reviews. For most, there are better mid-rangers that they can buy.

However, the company did experiment with ways to add functionality through cases – things like the Lens Cover that we looked at a few weeks ago.Now we want to look at a different cover from the same period – the Keyboard Cover for the Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+ and Galaxy Note5 from 2015.The Keyboard Cover on the Galaxy Note5This was a detachable QWERTY keyboard (and different layouts) that clipped on the front of the phone. It covered up the lower third of the screen, roughly the...
