Apple releases iOS 15.4.1 and iPadOS 15.4.1 to fix battery drain issues

Image
Today Apple is releasing a new round of software updates for its mobile devices. This includes iOS 15.4.1 for all supported iPhones, as well as iPadOS 15.4.1 for all supported tablets. As the number incrementation strongly implies, this is a minor release that doesn't bring any new features. It does, however, purport to improve something that we'd wager is incredibly important for most people: battery life. That's because the release notes mention that upon installation of this update, your iPhone or iPad will fix the battery drain issues that were apparently introduced with the release of... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/dmMRloH

Google Pixel 6a retail box allegedly leaks showing new Pixel 6-like design

Image
Google is widely expected to announce the Pixel 6a during its I/O conference taking place this May. The 6a will of course be the company's next installment in its affordable smartphone line, following on from the 5a launched last year. Today an unverified source brings us the image you can see below, which obviously claims to portray the retail box for the upcoming Google Pixel 6a. And if this is real, which is a big if, then it seems like Google is looking to unify its design language across its smartphone range, as the Pixel 6a sports a distinctly Pixel 6-like look, and doesn't resemble... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/YKvSwXU

Google updates Search and News to help you steer clear of fake news

Almost a year ago, Google made some notable steps toward limiting the spread of fake news. The company introduced a feature that warns people of unreliable search results. Now, the search giant has added some information literacy tips. It only works in the US for now, though. So with the latest update to News and Search, Google is trying to educate users on how to fact-check their information, especially if the algorithm has recognized the search topic as evolving and widely discussed.

iQOO Neo6 will be unveiled on April 13

The iQOO Neo6 we've been hearing about since last December finally has a launch date - April 13. The Neo6 will be announced in China next month, but we don't have confirmation on its global debut yet. iQOO is promoting the Neo6 as the next-generation gaming flagship but hasn't divulged its specs yet. However, thanks to Geekbench, we know it will have the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC at the helm with 12GB RAM.

Samsung sends One UI 4.1 updates to the Galaxy A52s 5G, A71 5G, and S20 FE 4G

A few days ago, Samsung sent the One UI 4.1 update to the Galaxy S20 FE 5G, and today it's the 4G version's turn to receive the exact same treat. This is now rolling out in multiple regions to both Exynos and Snapdragon 4G versions. But wait, the S20 FE 4G is not alone! The One UI 4.1 update has also made its way to the Galaxy A71 5G, which is thus skipping One UI 4.0 altogether, being bumped straight to One UI 4.1, which means this is its first Android 12 update.

WhatsApp is improving voice messages with out of chat playback, pause/resume recording

Today WhatsApp has announced it's working to bring some big improvements to the way it handles voice messages. If you're wondering why the focus on voice messages, there's an easy explanation, as the company revealed that a mind-boggling 7 billion of them are being sent every day on WhatsApp. Hence, later than many would've liked (but better than never), we're getting support for pausing a recording of a voice message, and then resuming it when ready, as well as a draft preview function that allows for listening to a message before you send it.

Xiaomi partnership with Leica seemingly confirmed by MIUI app

Image
Some partnerships between phone makers and camera companies seem to be little more than marketing ploys. Others, however, have changed mobile photography for the better - and perhaps none more than the cooperation between Huawei and Leica. However, with Huawei's well documented problems over the past few years, stemming from various US government bans, it's been selling way less phones than it used to, and Leica might be looking to partner with another smartphone maker. It's been rumored already for a few months: the Xiaomi 12 Ultra's camera module will be Leica branded. But... could this... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/m2Q4aSk

Samsung explains the design ideas that shaped One UI 4

Samsung offers a rare glimpse behind the scenes into how One UI 4.0 was designed. Key goals were for the interface to be intuitive and safe while making it easy for users to express themselves. Version 4 starts out with a color system that was focused on cleaning up the look. Color is applied to the most important elements, everything else is left in monochrome. The system has three groups of colors: core, functional and app colors. Before One UI 4.0, the interfaced used slightly different colors to mean the same thing.

Asus expects GPU prices to fall by up to 25%, UK retailer also predicts prices will go down

Finding a graphics card at MSRP has been basically impossible for the last couple of years, but there are signs that the GPU drought is coming to an end. According to 3DCenter, GPUs are the cheapest they have been since it started tracking their prices in January 2021 (note: 3DCenter focused on prices in Germany and Austria).

Apple reportedly cuts iPhone SE production by 20%

Apple unveiled the latest iPhone SE earlier this month, and it went on sale already. However, it looks like the company isn't expecting it to perform as good as it had hoped. According to a new rumor out of Asia, Apple is telling multiple suppliers that it aims to cut production orders by 2 to 3 million units for the second quarter of this year (the one starting in April and ending in June). That apparently means it wants to make about 20% fewer iPhone SE (2022) units than it initially planned.

Weekly poll: Realme GT Neo3 - hot or not?

The Realme GT Neo3 is launching next week (in China) and it will become only the second Dimensity 8100 phone to hit the market. It is also the first to use Realme’s new UltraDart charging architecture, running at 150W (the middle of its planned range of 100-200W). Well, some units will use the 150W system, others will charge at 80W – not slow by any means (0-100% in 32 minutes), but not headline-grabbing either. The 80W model comes with a slightly larger battery, 5,000 mAh vs. 4,500 mAh for the 150W model.

And yet we still don’t know where it will be available or how much it will cost. All we know is that it will launch in select regions in late April. We thought that losing the telephoto camera and not having a larger battery than the A53 would hurt it, but that wasn’t the case.
