The company's device sales peaked back in 2017 at 320 million units, and it's not gone over 300 million ever since.

Dimensity 9200 tops current mobile GPUs in early GFXBench test, even the Apple A16

Image
An early AnTuTu benchmark score showed that the upcoming MediaTek Dimensity 9200 chipset will bring an impressive improvement to graphics performance thanks to the switch to ARM’s new Immortalis-G715, its first ray tracing capable GPU.

This includes Apple’s latest A16 Bionic, though cross-platform comparisons are not always accurate even with the same benchmark. Also, we don’t know what device is using the Dimensity 9200, but it seems that it is running... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/fFQBgTY

Introduction Last year, Google and Samsung joined forces to release a unified version of Wear OS, one that's more capable, polished, and one that would remain exclusive to Samsung Watch devices for almost a year. Now, with just a handful of smartwatches running Wear OS 3.5, Google's Pixel Watch will be regarded as the golden standard for Wear OS smartwatches. The Google Pixel Watch is Google's first Pixel wearable offering, promising a smooth, polished experience and hoping to be regarded as "the Apple Watch of Androids".

Flashback: Firefox OS burns down, KaiOS rises from the ashes

The browser wars of the 90s and 2000s saw the dominant player - Microsoft's Internet Explorer - locked in a David and Goliath battle against Firefox, an open-source browser that was spun off from work at Netscape. A decade later another software war began - Microsoft was involved again with Windows Mobile, but the Goliath in this case was Symbian lead by Nokia.

Weekly poll: is the Motorola Razr 2022 the perfect flip foldable for you?

Image
Flip foldables are already less common than horizontal foldables as companies choose to focus on large screen premium devices. There is really only Samsung, Motorola and Huawei, though the latter is cut off from the Google Play Store and 5G connectivity. As for Motorola, its Razrs felt like gimmicks – $1,400 for a Snapdragon 765 phone, even a foldable one, was not something that people actually wanted. Maybe some nostalgic fans with money to burn, but that’s about it.

Weekly poll results: the 2022 iPads fail to impress

Image
The new 2022 iPads went on sale this week, but most of our readers will not be picking one up. The opinions in last week’s poll were against the new Apple slates and with the same reasoning too – higher price, not enough upgrades to entice would-be buyers. In the case of the iPad Pro 11 (2022) and iPad Pro 12.9 (2022), a MacBook Air is seen as a better tool for getting some work done on the go. macOS has always been geared towards work and creativity and has only gotten better over the years.

Samsung soon to release One UI 5.0 for Galaxy S21 FE

Samsung already released a stable version of One UI 5.0 based on Android 13 for most of its flagship phones, including the Galaxy S22 series, so it's only natural for the Galaxy S21 FE to get its fair share of software improvements.

Xiaomi 12 Lite 5G NE, Xiaomi 13 Lite, and Xiaomi Civi 2 might all be the same device

The upcoming Xiaomi 13 Lite has been spotted in the IMEI database today, bearing the model number 2210129SG. The fact that a 13 Lite is in the works is no surprise whatsoever, we always assumed the 12 Lite would have a successor. Its model number, though, is very intriguing. That's because just last week the same model number was seen in another database, where its name was said to be Xiaomi 12 Lite 5G NE when it does eventually launch. This got us thinking that there are only a few options that explain what's going on here.

Galaxy S23 Ultra to have better telephoto camera image quality

It has been somewhat clear now that the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra will mostly retain the same zoom cameras as its predecessor - a 3x and 10x periscope.

Top 10 trending phones of week 42

Image
The Google Pixel 7 Pro extended its reign in our trending chart to three consecutive weeks, but the Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max has closed the gap and we might see a change next time around. The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra has gained another spot, pushing the Xiaomi 12T Pro out of the podium places. The Samsung Galaxy A53 is another phone on the rise, taking fifth as the aging iPhone XR and iPhone X follow it. The Google Pixel 7 finds itself all the way down in eight spot, while the Redmi Note 11 retains the ninth position.

Sony WH-1000XM5 review

Image
Sony's ridiculously named WH-1000X series has been a massive success. The original model launched back in 2016 and had the uphill battle of going against the industry standard that was Bose. While the first model showed promise, it was the relentless iterations over the years that solidified Sony's position in the segment and helped it take the crown for the most effective noise cancellation on the market. It's been several years since and the market has matured quite a bit. The latest generation WH-1000XM5 enters a more crowded arena, with the likes of Bose, Apple, Sennheiser, Beats,... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/9d1qgHc

Week 42 in review: New iPads, even more Galaxy S23 series rumors

Image
This week's headlines were dominated by Apple's iPad lineup. The iPad Pro 11" and 12.9" got updated to the latest Apple M2 processor. The pair of slates also support Apple Pencil hover, meaning they'll detect the stylus from 12mm above the display. Meanwhile, Blackmagic Design confirmed that its hugely popular video editing software DaVinci Resolve is making the trek to the iPad in both its free and paid Studio version. The other iPad announcement was of the 10th generation iPad.

Weekly poll: will you buy an iPad Pro (2022)? How about a vanilla iPad (2022)?

Image
The vanilla iPad, the last Apple tablet that still used Lightning, made the switch to USB-C this week. The slate took other steps towards usability as well, like putting the front-facing camera on the long side – no one is going to be doing video conferencing in portrait mode. Apple also unveiled new iPad Pros with the M2 chipset, bringing them up to par with the 2022 MacBook Air – one of the most powerful passively cooled machines that money can buy. Also from this week, Blackmagic Design announced that the DaVinci Resolve video editor is coming to iPad in Q4.

Oppo AirVOOC 50W Wireless Flash Charger test

Image
Wireless charging speeds aren’t what they used to be. Back in 2009, the Palm Pre gave us our first expirience with wireless charging via a proprietary Touch Stone charger and a special back cover. Soon after the Qi wireless industry standard emerged, though charging speeds topped out at just 5W and later expanded to 10W and eventually 15W. There are faster alternatives like Oppo’s AirVOOC 50W Wireless Flash Charger which we have here today for a test. As the name implies this wireless charger supports up to 50W speeds for select Oppo and OnePlus devices. We’ve already tested vivo’s 50W... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/EalLymr

Weekly poll results: Xiaomi 12T series divides opinions

Image
The Xiaomi 12T Pro has an ace up its sleeve – a 200MP camera. Unfortunately, the only other cards it has tucked up there are an 8 and a 2. That’s not a strong hand and potential buyers are divided on whether this phone is a good pick. Interestingly, some commenters under last week’s poll look at the 12T Pro as an affordable Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 phone that is a solid choice for gaming. The fastest Android chipset of 2022 is paired with the “biggest-ever” vapor chamber on a Xiaomi T-series, also there is a large 5,000mAh battery for long gaming sessions that only needs you to pause for around... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/psl67WT

Three Asus ROG Phone 6 models put to test - which one is the fastest?

Image

Nothing ear (2) renders leak

Image
Carl Pei's Nothing company seems to be gearing up for at least a couple of impending earphone releases. Last year the brand unveiled the Nothing ear (1) buds, and now a new model is apparently on its way. A few renders have surfaces showcasing the design of the Nothing ear (2) buds. The visual changes compared to the Nothing ear (1) appear to be minimal. The transparent casing is still there, and so is the product's overall aesthetic. The only really obvious change we could spot is an "ear (2)" branding on the stem of the buds in place of the Nothing logo. Unfortunately, there are still no... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/JzEDIou

Leak: the Samsung Galaxy A54 will have a slightly larger battery

Image
More details have surfaced about the upcoming Samsung Galaxy A54, this time concerning its battery (EB-BA546ABY). It will have a rated capacity of 4,905mAh, up from 4,860mAh on the Galaxy A53. Considering that the Galaxy A53 is advertised as having 5,000mAh battery, the typical capacity of the A54 battery will likely be listed as 5,100mAh. Does that come with faster charging? We don’t know yet, but probably not - the current model already supports 25W charging (as much as the premium S22 and quite possibly the S23 as well).
