Report: Samsung Electronics to manufacture Google’s second-generation Tensor on 4nm process

Image
A new report from Naver cites industry sources that Samsung Electronics foundries will begin mass-producing Google’s second-generation Tensor chipset on the 4nm process this month. Google revealed it would launch two new Pixel 7 models in the fall – these new devices would feature the new chipset.

It is possible to minimize the discarded edge, thereby reducing cost and improving productivity.” Samsung is reportedly in close talks with... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/w9HvfV7

Pixel Watch will reportedly last “up to a day” on a charge

Image
The Google Pixel Watch is a highly anticipated wearable and is expected to swap more users towards using WearOS. The latest report comes from 9to5Google who cites a source that gives insight into the battery life expected on the recently teased Pixel Watch. According to the source, the Google Pixel Watch is said to last up to a day on a single charge. This number doesn’t represent Google’s official battery figures as the device is not yet released – so the officially advertised battery endurance may change once the Watch launches.

Redmi sells 270,000 Note 11T Pro units in one hour

Image
Redmi's recently unveiled Redmi Note 11T Pro for the Chinese market had its first sale earlier today, and it was a very successful one. Redmi general manager Lu Weibing reports that the brand managed to sell over 270,000 units in just one hour. While he doesn't go into specifics, we assume that means both the Note 11T Pro and the Note 11T Pro+ taken together. Still, it's a very impressive achievement, and it looks like the Chinese really like these phones. Hopefully that means they will be launched in other markets too in the future, although at this point it's anyone's guess if that ends... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/WGyIuX6

Motorola's ever-expanding mid-range G line is bound to do some even more expanding in the next few weeks or so. And one of the models coming up is the Moto G42, already leaked in neat-looking press renders earlier this month. The phone was also certified by a bunch of regulatory bodies, and now we get an additional piece to its puzzle. That's because a prototype Moto G42 ran Geekbench 5, and as usual this means its results are now available for the whole world to see in the benchmark's online database.

Gurman: iPhone 14 Pro series to bring AOD functionality

Image
In his latest Bloomberg newsletter report, Mark Gurman talks about iPhone 14 Pro series gaining Always-on display (AOD) functionality, iOS 16’s major new features and other announcements set to appear at WWDC 2022 on June 6. The big headline is the long-rumored AOD functionality which will likely be exclusive to the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max and their LTPO AMOLED displays. These panels can dial back the refresh rate on the lock screen in a bid to save up battery power while displaying AOD information like time, date and notifications.

Image
We saw week 21 come and go now and the announcements kept on pilling up. Xiaomi kicked things off with the Redmi Note 11T Pro and Pro+ launch in China. The two devices bring similar specs like 6.6-inch 144Hz IPS LCDs. Dimensity 8100 chipsets and 64MP main cams.

Flashback: some crazy phones had three or even four SIM card slots

Image
How many SIM slots does your phone have? In some regions dual-SIM models are quite popular, though in recent years eSIM (embedded SIM) has started taking over from the secondary slot for an external card. Many carriers offer low cost roaming or there is no roaming at all (e.g. within the EU), so having the option to pop in a extra card from a local carrier has become less important. But this is now, a decade ago some makers weren’t sure how many phone lines you may need in your pocket. One? Two? Four? Let’s start with the loneliest number.

Weekly poll results: Huawei Mate Xs 2 struggles to justify its price tag

Image
Most people feel that foldables are too expensive – not that we had any doubt that is still the case, but last week’s poll reaffirms that belief. Unfortunately for the Huawei Mate Xs 2, it’s not only the price that is dissuading people from wanting one, the outward-folding design may have been a bad idea. A common theme emerged while reading through the comments – €2,000 for a phone with a year old chipset, no 5G and no Google Play Store is too much. The lack of access to parts and services was caused by trade sanctions against Huawei and the situation is unlikely to change... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/b8GNdm5

Telegram to soon launch its premium plan

Image
A new finding by Alessandro Paluzzi reveals that Telegram is moving closer to introducing its premium tier. The hint comes from a data string that drastically changes the wording of the welcome screen when downloading and installing the messaging app. Right now, you will read "Telegram is free forever. No ads. No subscription fees." but that text will be replaced with "Telegram provides free unlimited cloud storage for chats and media."

HTC's flagship phone delayed

Image
We doubt that there are many of you holding your breath waiting for HTC's next flagship phone given that it's been a while since the company released a high-end device. The handset was expected to make its debut in April but it seems that it has been delayed. The reason for the delay is reportedly COVID-19-induced supply chain issues, so HTC hasn't abandoned its project. Some believe that the phone will have an unusual appeal, just like the Exodus 1 and Exodus 1s smartphones, which were blockchain-centric.

New Gallery Go app drops the “Go” name

As spotted by 9to5Google, the Gallery Go app appears to have dropped the “Go” part of its name with its new app icon. With version 1.8.8.436428459, the name of the app is just “Gallery” now. Via 9to5Google Gallery Go first launched in 2019 as a ‘Lite’ alternative to Google Photos for devices with limited hardware. As even budget devices catch up to have more RAM and CPU power, the demand for “Go” alternatives may have curbed a bit.

That's not the only difference between the two variants, though.

One of the most renowned Apple analysts, Ming-Chi Kuo, says that Apple's future AirPods Pro 2 are right on schedule and will be unaffected by the supply chain constraints that China's manufacturing is experiencing right now. That's mainly because Apple has shifted some of its production to Vietnam, where the COVID-19 situation is vastly different from China's.

Motorola brought the Razr brand back to life several years ago, and the foldable smartphone has had two iterations so far. None of them were powered by a flagship chipset, but a company executive revealed this is about to change. A brand manager of Motorola shared a teaser on his own Weibo page, revealing the new Moto Razr will run on the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset. The first smart Moto Razr arrived in late 2019. Back then Motorola told us that having a flagship chipset is not a top priority among foldable users, and that’s why HQ decided against the idea.
