Redmi announces Turbo 3 as a part of new generation of performance flagship series

Image
Redmi president Thomas Wang revealed the Xiaomi brand is launching new series called Turbo. They will sit between the K and Note series and will be all about performance. It's first member will be called Redmi Turbo 3, and it might be a new name for the Redmi Note 13 Turbo. In a lengthy post, followed by a Q&A session on social media, Wang explained the idea behind Turbo – it will be a lineup of phones that will “reshape the midrange market”. By the looks of it, the Redmi K phones will remain the "flagship killer" devices, the Redmi Turbo will fit below them with a focus on... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/NsYQjhg

Xiaomi Watch 2 in for review

Image
Xiaomi's excellent Watch 2 Pro is among the best watches available right now. At just €249 with LTE, it's definately one of the best deals around. But the Xiaomi Watch 2 may just be a better one. The Xiaomi Watch 2 has all the features of the Pro but with a lighter aluminum body, no rotating crown, and a flush top glass. Oh, and it starts at just €199. But the biggest difference is that the Watch 2 lacks LTE - you'd need to go for the Pro if you want to be able to leave your phone behind. The Xiaomi Watch 2 ships with a TPU strap (either grey or black), and a magnetic proprietary... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/H95kaUb

Top 10 trending phones of week 13

Image
Samsung Galaxy A55 completed a hat-trick of trending chart victories in week 13 and still holds a comfortable advantage of the Redmi Note 13 Pro, which rose to second place. Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra gets the bronze medal as the Infinix Note 40 Pro slips off the podium and into fourth place. Redmi Note 13 picked up a lot of steam and is sitting in fifth now, followed by a trio of Samsung Galaxy phones. Interestingly the newly announced M55 only managed a seventh place, between the A35 and A54. Perhaps the limited initial availability reduced its appeal and it may fare better should it... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/jl6IvsH

Pixel 9 renders leak, vivo X Fold3, Galaxy M55 official, Week 13 in review

Image
Another week down, let's recap. Our Galaxy A55 battery life test came out, confirming the phone brings a big improvement in battery life over its incredibly popular predecessor. We saw fresh renders of the Google Pixel 9, the smallest in Google's upcoming lineup. The 9 will offer a 6.03-inch display (presumably 120Hz OLED) compared to the 6.1-inch Pixel 9 Pro and 6.5-inch Pixel 9 Pro XL. The other key difference on the vanilla Pixel 9 is the dual camera setup compared to the three shooters on both the Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL. vivo unveiled the X Fold3 and the X Fold3 Pro.The vivo... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/fzieF7d

WhatsApp has announced a new bottom navigation bar for Android users, which replaces the older top navbar that had four tabs for Communities, Chats, Status, and Calls. The new navbar, which is "closer to your thumbs and easy on the eyes," also has four sections for Communities, Chats, Status, and Calls. However, their order has been changed, and Status is now called "Updates." Moreover, all four sections now have icons. Previously, only the Communities tab had an icon.

Deals: Galaxy S24 also drops in price, Best Buy has iPad deals this weekend

Image
Last week we looked at offers on unlocked Galaxy S24 flagships – the S24+ started at $850 and the S24 Ultra was $1,150. Those offers are still available, by the way, but they lacked the vanilla Galaxy S24. If you have your heart set on the smallest Samsung flagship, the Galaxy S24 starts at $750. Note that this is with 8GB of RAM and 128GB storage (not 12/256GB like the other two). There’s no option for 12GB of RAM, but you could get 256GB storage for $810. But that’s just $50 less than a 12/256GB S24+. We found the same offer on Amazon and Best Buy, so pick the retailer you... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/Ss1OcWx

Realme GT6 stops by the FCC with 5,500 mAh battery

Image
Realme is apparently working on the GT6, and this phone has just been certified by the FCC, signifying it will most likely launch internationally. The certification tells us it will come with a 5,500 mAh battery. Of course, there's also 5G support, as well as dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, GLONASS, BDS, Galileo, SBAS, and NFC on board.

Samsung Galaxy A55 vs. Samsung Galaxy A35

Image
Samsung's strong presence in the mid-range segment is primarily defined by the Galaxy A3x and A5x series, so it's natural for people to wonder which one suits their needs. This year's Galaxy A55 and A35 both bring decent upgrades compared to their predecessors. But despite their considerable price gap, the Galaxy A55 and A35 are more similar than you'd think. So much so that the Galaxy A35 is almost identical to the A55's predecessor, the A54. Speaking of, we have a versus article on that topic as well.

OnePlus Nord CE4 features teased yet again, 100W charging confirmed

Image
The OnePlus Nord CE4 still hasn't been fully and properly announced, but the company's teaser campaign has been so willing to spill out details about it that there's almost nothing we don't already know aside from pricing (although a recent leak pegged this at INR 24,999 for the base model). Today Amazon India has gone ahead and launched a microsite for the upcoming device, rehashing most of the features we've already known about from previous OnePlus teasers while confirming one of our suspicions too. The phone will have 100W fast wired charging support, it's now clear. We always... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/Ufzhb6C

We asked Samsung why it gave its flagships 7 years of support

Image
With the release of the Galaxy S24 series, Samsung committed to 7 years of software support for the lineup - that's both OS and security updates. Samsung wasn't the first - Google promised 7 years to the Pixel 8 series, but OnePlus believes anything beyond 5 years is just wasting resources. We had the chance to chat with Samsung VP Nicholas Porter and we asked him why Samsung decided on the 7 years of support. Samsung's analysis of consumer feedback found that extending the support adds more value to a smartphone. Certainly, enough value to make the overhead needed for the upkeep worth... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/grxVEDF

iPhone 12 gets 15W Qi2 wireless charging support with iOS 17.4

Image
Apple released iOS 17.4 earlier this month, and the big news about it was its compliance with the new EU Digital Markets Act, but it looks like that wasn't the only big thing hiding inside this update. In fact, the new software seems to have unlocked support for the Qi2 wireless charging standard. According to testing conducted by Macworld, the iPhone 12 with iOS 17.4 now charges wirelessly at 15W when magnetically connected to a Qi2 charger that isn't Apple's MagSafe. Previously, in such a scenario, wireless charging would be limited to 7.5W, so the jump is quite substantial. Back... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/RcrXkNO

OnePlus 12 vs. Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra

So, you've decided to really treat yourself and get a true flagship heavy-hitter. Welcome to the big leagues, and particularly the interesting showdown between Samsung's still relatively "hot off the presses" January-release Galaxy S24 Ultra and the best OnePlus currently has to offer in the OnePlus 12. It is admittedly a bit older and technically came out last year in December 2023, but that has mostly resulted in a nice and steady depreciation in price, and it does not actually take away from the truly premium nature of the OnePlus 12.

BOE to manufacture iPhone SE 4 displays

Image
According to an industry source, BOE will likely be supplying the bulk, if not all, of the 6.1-inch OLED panels for the upcoming iPhone SE 4. Reportedly, Samsung dropped out of the race due to the low pricing Apple was offering for each panel. The report claims that a single 6.1-inch OLED unit costs around $30 at Samsung, while Apple was offering $25. Moreover, the same source suggests the the price is lower than even what the Chinese makers are asking.

Apple launches designated Developer channel on YouTube ahead of WWDC 2024

Apple started streaming its WWDC events on YouTube back in 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic began. Over time, the brand moved to a hybrid format with in-person events and pre-recorded videos, but all sessions were only available in the Apple Developer app. Ahead of WWDC 2024, Apple launched a new YouTube channel called Apple Developer.

WhatsApp introduced a feature back in August that lets you send photos in higher quality - the full resolution of the image.

Sony Xperia 1 VI dimensions revealed, the phone will be a bit shorter and a bit wider

Image
A couple of weeks ago we heard a rumor that Sony will drop the 4K display from the next Xperia 1 model – this would happen as the aspect ratio changes from 21:9 to 19.5:9 (which suggests that the vertical resolution will no longer be 3,840px). This would also entail a change in the phone’s dimensions and a new leak reveals the new values. The Sony Xperia 1 VI will allegedly measure 162 x 74.4 x 8.45mm - that is 3mm shorter and 3mm (and a bit) wider than the Xperia 1 V, which is 165 x 71 x 8.3mm.

Our Samsung Galaxy A35 video review is out

In some regions like the US and Canada, the Samsung Galaxy A35 is the highest level A-phone that you can get – but is it worth having? For its price, it’s a solid choice as Will explains in our video review.
