Poco made a big splash in late November, launching the F8 Pro and F8 Ultra in Bali, a mere eight months after their predecessors. This is an unusual launch timeline to say the least, but the brand felt like it couldn't wait any longer, and it wanted its new Ultra to be among the first devices on the market using Qualcomm's latest top of the line chip, and not among the last like the F7 Ultra was.[#InlinePriceWidget,14303,1#]We've already published our full in-depth reviews for both the F8 Ultra and the F8 Pro, and today our Poco F8 Pro video review is ready and fresh out of the oven....

The results from last week’s poll are clear – the Poco F8 Ultra is not the best flagship, but it is certainly the best Poco F8 model. And to be fair, it’s not trying to be the best flagship. Its price is so aggressively low that it is making people question whether they actually need the higher end features.Poco’s site still lists the Ultra at its early bird price of €700 for the 256GB version and €750 for the 512GB one. However, they are showing “out of stock” (also, Amazon briefly had a better price at €650/€700). For comparison, the Realme GT 8 Pro is €1,100 for a 512GB unit (note:...

It is called the Jolla Phone and is advertised by Jolla as an "independent European Do It Together (DIT) Linux phone."Jolla says the Jolla Phone is a "real Linux phone" because it runs "actual Linux" on the inside, "not a pseudo-Linux."

Basically, Apple wants to not depend entirely on TSMC for chip fabrication, and Intel is the way to do that.GF Securities analyst Jeff Pu says he and his colleagues now expect a deal between Intel and Apple to be reached for at least some non-Pro...
