Counterpoint Research has issued its annual analysis of the European smartphone market today, and this reveals sales were up 8% over 2020. That's encouraging, but it's still not back to pre-pandemic levels (keep in mind that 2020 sales dropped 14% compared to 2019). On the other hand, last year was by far the most competitive ever in the European smartphone space, with the No.1 company changing four times throughout. In the last quarter of the year, Samsung narrowly beat out Apple by 1% - the two scored 33% and 32%, respectively. They were followed by Xiaomi with 15% (down from 17%... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/cjivFSwq1

The mother of all leaks revealed that the Galaxy S22+ and S22 Ultra will support 45W fast charging. There was some hope that the vanilla Galaxy S22, but that hope has been dashed by Nieuwe Mobiel. Up to 25W charging for the Galaxy S22 • 45W for the S22+ and S22 Ultra The vanilla S22 will top out at the same 25W as its predecessor and will need 70 minutes to charge its 3,700 mAh battery (300 mAh smaller than the S21).

2020 was a banner year for tablets with record shipments in the fourth quarter. This was driven by the surge of people who work or study at home due to the pandemic. Now with the pandemic easing off, shipments are slowing down as well, according to data from the IDC. 2021 was still positive for manufacturers as total shipments went up 3.2% for the full year, reaching a total of 168.8 million. That’s the most slates shipped since 2016. However, the final quarter of the year made it clear that the demand is past its peak.

Tecno has just nnounced its latest phone in Nigeria. The Spark 8C is an entry level handset with a large screen and 64GB storage. The 6.6" HD+ screen of the Spark 8C will have 90Hz refresh rate, and we can safely assume it is an LCD. The fingerprint scanner is on the back of a rectangular island next to the dual camera. The main camera has a 13MP sensor and while its companion is not detailed it's probably a 2MP depth sensor. The selfie shooter has an 8MP sensor.

Introduction While not directly related to what I do here at GSMArena, 3D printing is a huge passion of mine. Having recently done an in-depth review on the CREALITY HALOT-ONE resin 3D printer, I recently got a chance to play with the ANYCUBIC Vyper and can now share what its real life performance is like. I have been doing Fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printing for over a year and have owned a total of three 3D printers - my current Monoprice Select Mini V2, which is the only one I could reasonably keep with the limited home space I have and before that Prusa i3, which... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/UHgOo0MpW

A few events had major impact on our trending chart this week, but above all it was the Redmi Note 11 series' global debut. The Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G has finally dethroned the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE, which has occupied the top since the start of the year. We've also got the Redmi Note 11 Pro in fourth and the Redmi Note 11 in fifth. The other major development was the massive Galaxy S22 series leak that propelled interest in the Galaxy S22 Ultra to new heights and the second place in our chart. The Galaxy S21 FE is down to third. The OnePlus 10 Pro is down to sixth, followed by the... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/mGfhbHrBZ

The Huawei Watch GT 3 is one of the best smartwatches on the market, and the company recently announced a new version called Watch GT Runner. The new device has a lot of similarities with the GT 3, but there are also some differences that need testing. The Huawei Watch GT Runner feels quite light, and has a bit sportier design with the cool stripes on the rubber strap. Another major change is the antenna design - it claims improved communication with the L1 and L5 satellites. The looks might be different, but the core functionality is largely unchanged.

The Samsung Galaxy S22 series was the hottest topic this past week. The three phones are officially coming on February 9 alongside the Galaxy Tab S8.

On the back we'll see 50MP main camera alongside 12MP ultrawide, and 10MP 3x telephoto units. The battery capacity is going to be 3,700mAh.

The new Redmi Note 11 series was unveiled earlier this week and it already went through a limited sale (an early bird deal with $20-30 worth of discounts). Did you get one? Will you get one once the phones become widely available and which one? That’s what we want to know this week. The Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G fills a 5G-shaped hole in the Note series. There was a Note 10 5G last year, but that was more of a mid-range offering and not a Pro. Anyway, the Note 11 Pro 5G is mostly identical to its 4G-only sibling with the key difference being the Snapdragon 695 chipset.

The selfie-centric vivo's V23 series is out, and we already have reviews of both the vanilla and the Pro version. But the focus of our latest video review is on the vivo V23 5G - a slick midranger with innovative glass Fluorite AG Glass that changes colors. Despite the notch on the front, the handset features a trendy design. It also packs some pretty balanced hardware with excellent battery life and 44W fast charging.

A couple of days ago, some OnePlus Nord 2T specs leaked in the wild and now we have an expected price range for all of the handset's memory configurations along with a supposed release time frame. The same source tries to guess the rumored Nord 2 CE's price as well. Starting with the Nord 2T, which should replace the current Nord 2, 91mobiles believes that the device will be priced between INR 30,000 and INR 40,000. This range probably covers all configurations. In Euros, it's between €360 and €480. However, we believe that the European prices will be a tad higher due to import taxes. The... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/Cl8UT9Zvm

5G phones are now widely available, but the same can’t be said of 5G networks. Last week’s poll shows that the greatest barrier to adoption is that some countries still haven’t launched their 5G networks. The second most common issue is that many users don’t have a 5G-capable phone yet (about a quarter of voters). Not really surprising, if they don’t live in an area with 5G coverage. Of course, that hasn’t stopped makers from selling 5G phones in those regions – they frame it as future-proofing. And they do put in the work, e.g. Airtel in India was using phones from Apple, Realme,... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/9RVdfNyg6

The sub-$200 smartphone market in 2013 was pretty barren, buyers on a budget had only a few good options to choose from. Thankfully, “good” is underselling them – there were some excellent cheap phones from that period. Motorola Moto G The Motorola Moto G comes to mind. It launched at $180 and reviewers and users alike sang its praises. It made for a good second in command to the highly customizable Moto X and we still remember it fondly today.

OnePlus recently launched the Buds Z2, which are a pair of truly wireless earbuds and successor to the 2020 OnePlus Buds Z. While they are still fairly affordable, the new model comes with active noise-cancellation and improved drivers for better performance. Priced at $100, the new Buds Z2 cost exactly the same as the Nothing ear (1), which too are a pair of affordable wireless earbuds with ANC.

Counterpoint research published its US market analysis for Q4 last year and for the most part, it has remained steady with a modest 2% growth. Analysts cite supply constraints, delayed launches and in-store restrictions are the main reasons. On the other hand, strong carrier promotions were able to counteract the negative impact of the aforementioned issues. Of course, Apple remained on top of the market with 57% share in the quarter with 17% growth compared to Q3, mainly due to strong iPhone 13 sales. The Pro versions performed particularly well.

Samsung has, for a while now, enjoyed releasing its monthly security patches for some devices before the month in question's even started.

That, however, seems thankfully set to change, although not in the next few days. Instead, according to a newly leaked poster, the mid-range duo's unveiling is scheduled to take place on February 15.
