    Black Shark will launch its next gaming phone soon, the brand CEO confirmed on his Weibo profile. It will be called Black Shark 4 and will have 120W fast charging out of the box. The executive also revealed the battery capacity will be 4,500 mAh and it will go from flat to full in under 15 minutes. The official Black Shark 4 poster That would be some improvement over the first Xiaomi phone to use 120W charging.

    OnePlus Band review
    The OnePlus Band is the company's first foray into the popular wearables segment. Launched exclusively in India, the new OnePlus Band is an affordable fitness tracker that helps you keep track of your workouts, heart rate, blood oxygen levels, sleep patterns, and notifications. The OnePlus Band comes in a single model — W101N — with a removable strap design.

    Top 10 trending phones of week 1
    The Mi 11 maintains its record of having lead our trending chart for every day of 2021 so far and more announcements made sure Xiaomi properly dominates the top 10. The Mi 10i slid in second, while the Redmi 9T and Redmi Note 9T 5G got third and fourth, despite only debuting on friday.

    Week 1 in review: A host of new releases in the low-to-midrange, Galaxy S21 launch nearing
    Welcome to another week's recap. With the approaching announcement of the Galaxy S21 family, there were inevitably a bunch of stories related to that. A set of case renders attempted to answer how the S Pen will attach to the S21 Ultra, raising more questions in the process, while a leaked infographic detailed the new cameras. A source claimed there won't be a microSD slot on the non-Ultras, another unfortunate development. Most importantly, however, Samsung set the Unpacked date, officially. The high-end Galaxies are yet to go live, but we did get a bunch of new announcements this week to...

    Flashback: the LG KE850 Prada had the first capacitive touchscreen, not the iPhone
    Many think that the iPhone was the first phone with a capacitive touchscreen, but that’s not the case – the LG KE850 Prada was announced a month earlier (December 15, 2006) compared to Apple’s unveiling at the Macworld Expo (January 9, 2007). Sales of the KE850 started in May of 2007 at a price of €600 while the iPhone first became available in June. The design of the phone was a collaboration between LG and fashion brand Prada, which lent its name to the final product. The phone was even bundled with a swanky leather case, which underlined its status as a piece of...

    Weekly poll results: Xiaomi Mi 11 gets mostly warm reception, but many are waiting for the Pro
    You get a lot of attention for being first and in the case of the Xiaomi Mi 11 it is positive attention. Nearly half the voters in last week’s poll would buy one if the phone gets good reviews. Even without reviews, 24% are feeling optimistic about the phone and will buy one as soon as it one is available near them. Those waiting on the reviews are curious about the chipset – the Snapdragon 888 may be the first chip with ARM’s power core, the Cortex-X1, but some are concerned about sustained performance. The phone topped the AnTuTu charts, for what that's worth. Another complaint is...

    Weekly poll: picking the perfect display (refresh rate, resolution, curved or flat)
    Samsung never enabled 120Hz mode at 1440p+ resolution for the Galaxy S20 family, despite what some early rumors claimed. This year it’s looking like the new LTPO panel on the Galaxy S21 Ultra will finally enable 120Hz at the top resolution. The two vanilla S21 will get 1080p+ displays side-stepping the issue. All of this is just rumors for now, of course, the official announcement isn’t until next week. But while we wait we wanted to ask which do you prefer – resolution or refresh rate? A 1080p+ high refresh rate (HRR) display and a high resolution one? You can’t have both as a 4K 144 Hz...

    Apple iPhone 13 to retain design, but be thicker and with smaller notch
    It's 2021 and we guess it's time to talk about the next generation of iPhones. Supposedly called iPhone 13, the first report this year suggests that the two Pro models will have 120Hz OLED panels from Samsung. Today's info, however, is all about the design. According to the Japanese blog MacOtakara, the iPhone 13 lineup will retain the iPhone 12's chassis with the flat edges, but will be approximately 0.26mm thicker and will reduce the size of the notch thanks to a position change of the top receiver. Additionally, the camera bump will be just as thick with a small change to the...

    Samsung to introduce a plethora of ISOCELL sensors, 200MP included
    According to one of the most reliable Samsung tipsters, the Korean tech giant plans to introduce plenty of new ISOCELL camera sensors this year and a 200MP one will likely come around very soon. While we are still far away from a 600MP sensor, Samsung thinks that we are ready to make the jump to 200MP as early as this year. Sadly, there are no details surrounding the rumor, so we would have to take IceUniverse's word for it. And we don't really know any of the upcoming camera's specs too such as pixels size, sensor size, etc. However, a report from April last year suggested that...

    Default Samsung Galaxy S21 series vs Galaxy S20 series - the upgrades detailed

    Samsung introduced its Galaxy S21 lineup earlier this week - a vanilla Galaxy S21, a plus model that provides largely the same internals in a larger package and the Ultra that has a strong claim for the throne of the ultimate cameraphone.

    The iPhone 13 arriving later this year will not come with major changes but it might have an in-display fingerprint scanner in tow since Apple has started testing it as a key upgrade for 2021, reports Bloomberg. Starting with iPhone X, all iPhones except the iPhone SE (2020) came without the Touch ID fingerprint reader and used Face ID facial recognition for biometric authentication. However, Face ID has turned out to be a less practical solution amidst the ongoing pandemic since the technology often fails to unlock the phone when the user is wearing a mask.

    Xiaomi denies any ties to the Chinese military in response to being blacklisted by the US
    Yesterday the US government designated Xiaomi a "Communist Chinese military company", putting it on a blacklist that means US companies and investors are going to be prohibited from investing in Xiaomi (and those who already have are to divest by November of this year). This, mind you, is not the same 'blacklisting' that destroyed Huawei's smartphone market share worldwide, that's a much more complex ban on any US companies, or even companies using US technology, doing business with Huawei.

I won't even justify that rumor with a statement". Which is ironic, because a statement is exactly what this seems to be.

This includes improved HDR, low light and autofocus performance. Smart ISO Pro is an HDR technology that captures one high ISO and one low ISO shot simultaneously. As both are captured at the same time, this avoids the ghosting of moving objects that is a problem for sequential HDR. Then the two shots are combined into a single 12-bit image.

    vivo iQOO Neo5 appears in 3C certification and live photo with "just" 66W fast charging
    One of the more-exciting bits about the upcoming vivo iQOO Neo5, as suggested by earlier rumors, was definitely the prospect of 88W wired charging, potentially even backed-up by 66W of wireless on a more budget-friendly device, said to sell between CNY2,998 and CNY3,598 (around $464 and $572). Unfortunately, a new 3C rectification listing, as well as a live photo of the phone's charger seem to put that to rest. 3C certification Apparently, some numbers originally got mixed-up since 3C's data clearly indicated that the iQOO Neo5, also known by its V2055A model number, will be...

As far as official info goes, we know that the announcement date is set for March 4 and we have a short and basic list of some things to expect. Notably - Gorilla Glass protection, IP52 rating, and at least on one of the models - a flat display, with a punch hole selfie, a curved back and a side-mounted fingerprint reader. As per some new industry insider info, we now believe that the Redmi Note 10 series will include at least a trio of devices - the vanilla model, which is likely the one on the...

    Deal: the Galaxy Note20 5G is a whopping £400 off in the UK
    The non-Ultra Samsung Galaxy Note20 5G was a very weird device when it launched last year, downgrading a lot of components compared to the Note20 Ultra 5G, but keeping the price very high, if not quite as high as that model. We're not sure how many people have, in the UK for example, chosen to shell out a whopping £949, which is what the initial price for the Note20 5G was. If you aren't one of those people, but still would consider the Note20 if it was cheaper, well then here's the deal of the year for you. Right now, you can pick up a brand new and unlocked Note20 5G for a mere £549.17...

    Nikkei: Huawei will cut phone production by more than half in 2021
    Huawei is resolved not to sell its phone division, but it will not be easy going – the company is preparing for tough times ahead. Nikkei reports that the telecommunications giant has notified its component suppliers that it will build far fewer phones this year than it did in 2020. Huawei will reportedly order enough components for 70-80 million for the whole year. That’s a 60% drop from the 189 million units it shipped last year, which was already a sizable decrease from the 240 million phones sold in 2019.

But all the watches that have come from Samsung since have been Tizen-powered and the consensus has been that they're better than their Android counterparts. So we are seriously doubting that Samsung is working to replace its successful Tizen OS for Wear OS. Samsung's new watch...

    vivo iQOO Neo5 appears in 3C certification and live photo with "just" 66W fast charging

Unfortunately, a new 3C rectification listing, as well as a live photo of the phone's charger seem to put that to rest. 3C certification Apparently, some numbers originally got mixed-up since 3C's data clearly indicated that the iQOO Neo5, also known by its V2055A model number, will be...

    Default Samsung is indeed working on a Wear OS smartwatch, new evidence sugges

    A couple of weeks ago, a renowned Samsung tipster said that Samsung is working on a Wear OS-powered smartwatch and will be ditching Tizen OS. And while we can't say that the latter is for sure, the former seems to be further backed by stronger evidence. In a Galaxy S20 kernel source code teardown, an XDA developer found that there's a device codenamed "Merlot" and it's associated with Google's Wear OS. The device has been mentioned even alongside the already released Galaxy Watch3 with code name "Noblesse". As of now, information is pretty scarce, but we hope to see some more...

We’re talking about the vivo iQOO Neo5 that apparently will have three cameras on the back and one on the front behind a punch hole. All three cameras appear to be standard, with no periscope shooter in sight. However, this is expected, since the Neo lineup is an affordable flagship within the iQOO universe and a sophisticated telephoto camera is not how you keep the price low. The front of the phone will be a flat OLED panel, as evident by the...
