These would have paired to Macs, and not worked standalone like the Vision Pro headset.The company allegedly shuttered the project this week. The device would have looked like normal glasses but with built-in projectors that would display information, images, and video in the field of view for each eye.Interestingly, Apple worked on including lenses that changed their tint depending on what the user is doing, basically like a status...

The report came from Mark Gurman this past weekend, and Apple is already making the decision. According to a report, third-party retailers are no longer offering the prepaid model, and it remains available only on Apple's website, where we expect it to disappear shortly.

[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] Earlier today vivo revealed the upcoming V50's design and key specs, but the brand stopped short of giving us an actual launch date for the phone. That's where a new rumor comes in, saying that the V50 will actually launch on February 17 in India. That may or may not be accurate, the only way to know is to wait and see what happens. We will say that having a listing up on the official website 13 days ahead of the launch isn't something we usually see, but that can just be vivo's way of doing things for this particular model. The V50 is allegedly going to go on sale one week from the...

[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] A few days ago the first teardown video of the new Galaxy S25 Ultra went live, and today we have another one. This time it's Zack Nelson from the JerryRigEverything YouTube channel doing the deed, and finding an interesting tidbit in the process. The internet has been in a tizzy about the removal of Bluetooth functionality from the S25 Ultra's S Pen, even though most people who are decrying it probably have never used it. Samsung, we assume, knows that, which is why it chose to go with this obvious cost-cutting measure in its most expensive slab-style device, betting that normal people who...

[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] Samsung infamously removed Bluetooth capabilities from Galaxy S25 Ultra’s S Pen. The official reasoning is that only 1% of S24 Ultra users were using the Bluetooth-related features on their phones but a lot of long-time Ultra and formerly Galaxy Note users are not too happy with the change. Galaxy S25 Ultra S Pen on Samsung US Samsung has now listed the official Galaxy S25 Ultra S Pen on its online store and it costs $49 – exactly the same price as the Galaxy S24 Ultra S Pen which features Bluetooth functionality and a gyroscope sensor.

[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] Xiaomi's 15 Ultra will be very much focused on the cameras, pun absolutely intended. Today a new rumor from a tipster on X reiterates the device's camera setup, which we've already heard of before. Still, this 'confirmation' of sorts does help cement the idea that the phone will really ship with these cameras. So, let's take a look. The 50 MP main shooter will be using Sony's 1-inch type Lytia LYT-900 sensor. The 50 MP ultrawide will use Samsung's ISOCELL JN5 sensor. The 50 MP 3x optical zoom telephoto camera will use Sony's IMX858 sensor, and finally, the main upgrade - the 200 MP 4.3x...

[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold7 and Z Flip7 are expected to launch this summer, and today a tipster over on X has shared more details about what we can expect from them. Both devices are allegedly getting larger vapor chambers than their predecessor, to help with heat dissipation. They are both getting a smoother and more durable hinge as well. The Fold7's display crease is apparently going to get much smaller - not fully gone, but almost. The devices will launch running One UI 7.1, though it's unclear whether that will be based on Android 15 or Android 16 - since the latter is coming way...

[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] Over the last few weeks, the price of the Realme GT 7 Pro has been fluctuating – it was usually €800 or slightly higher. Now it has fallen below the €800 mark. This was the first Snapdragon 8 Elite phone to reach Europe and offers great value for money. The performant chipset is paired with a 6.78” LTPO display (1264p+, 120Hz, 10-bit). The cameras are the best on a GT phone yet with a 50MP main (1/1.56”), 50MP 3x telephoto (73mm) and an 8MP ultra-wide. The battery is typical for the GT series – it is large (6,500mAh) and supports 120W fast charging. The phone is rated IP69 so it’s pretty...
