[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] Samsung finally unveiled the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition. It alleviates several pain points from the Z Fold6 with larger displays, a slimmer profile, and a 200MP main cam. It also has larger displays - a 6.5-inch LTPO AMOLED 2X cover screen and an 8-inch LTPO AMOLED 2X folding one. Unfortunately, the device is currently exclusive to South Korea and rumors suggest it will only make its way to China (possibly as the Galaxy W25) without ever stepping foot outside those two markets. Qualcomm's new super-chip for mobile is here, and it's not called the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4. It's the Snapdragon...

[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] Things are heating up in the flagship space as Oppo unveiled the Find X8 series. These are flagships with a special focus on the camera (with help from Hasselblad). This year there is even a camera shutter key and the Alert slider is back (both on the Pro model only). The Oppo Find X8 Pro is not a direct sequel to the Find X7 Ultra (an X8 Ultra might arrive later on). So, instead of a curved display, it has an almost flat micro-quad-curved 6.78” LTPO panel (1264p+, 120Hz, 10-bit colors). It is powered by the Dimensity 9400 chipset and an enormous 5,910mAh battery (with 80W wired and 50W...

[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] Small-but-powerful phones tend to be quite popular on the Internet, even if “small” hasn’t been an accurate term in the last few years. And, boy, did vivo bring out one of the best small-but-powerful phones that we’ve seen yet. We’re talking about the vivo X200 Pro mini, of course. The phone received an overwhelmingly positive response that could become even more positive, if the mini passes reviews with flying colors. Some did find things to dislike about the mini – wishing for a 200MP sensor in the tele camera or not liking the optical fingerprint reader (the big Pro has an ultrasonic...

[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] The new iPad mini became available globally earlier this week, so let’s check out the prices and some alternatives. The Apple iPad mini (2024) now has 128GB storage in its base configuration and 8GB of RAM. The latter is paired with a downgraded A17 Pro chipset to support Apple Intelligence. These AI features will arrive soon as part of the iPadOS 18.1 update (and will initially be limited to the US). There are some other upgrades over the old mini, like faster Wi-Fi 6E and USB-C connectivity (10Gbps, up from 5Gbps). But you’re still getting an 8.3” 60Hz IPS LCD, even though this chip ran...

[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] Xiaomi unveiled HyperOS 2 in China yesterday, and along with the new software came a list of devices that will be receiving it as an update and a rough timeline of when it will hit each model.Today a purported list of the first international devices to get HyperOS 2 has been leaked. Rather confusingly, the list says all these phones will get the new skin "by Q1 2025" - that may mean "before Q1 2025", in which case it's better phrased as "by the end of 2024", or it could also actually (perhaps more likely) mean by the end of Q1, which is March 31.In that case, there's definitely a...

Also in 2027, the company will launch the affordable Pixel 11a.These two devices will theoretically use the same Tensor chip as the flagship Pixel line, but in practice things won't quite be identical. Google is allegedly going to fuse off defective parts of the TPU to save chips that normally would have to be discarded.
