Xiaomi 14 SE is allegedly coming to India in June

Image
The Xiaomi 14, Xiaomi 14 Pro, and Xiaomi 14 Ultra will soon get a new sibling in the series if a new leak from a usually reliable source is to be believed. The fourth member of the family is said to be the Xiaomi 14 SE, a model which is expected to launch in India in June. It will be priced under INR 50,000 ($599 or €560 at the current exchange rates).

Apple's getting ready to overuse the AI buzzword just like everyone else has been doing for a while, and the big AI push is also coming this year to Safari, the company's web browser, according to a new report. The next version of Safari will be AI-infused, and it's expected to launch alongside iOS 18, which means it will most likely be presented at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference in June.

OnePlus Nord 4 runs Geekbench, gets certifications confirming chipset and battery

Image
The OnePlus Nord 4 has long been rumored to be a rebranding of the China-only OnePlus Ace 3V. Last week this was sort of confirmed by a rumor claiming that the Nord 4 would be powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 chipset - just like the Ace 3V. Now a Geekbench listing for a OnePlus phone with the model number CPH2621 has surfaced, and would you know it - it's powered by the same SoC. Thus, this could be the Nord 4.

New Apple Pencil to have haptic feedback

Apple is working on a new Apple Pencil, and this one will apparently come with some exciting new features, according to Mark Gurman at Bloomberg. The upcoming stylus will feature haptic feedback built-in, making the writing experience feel more natural. This will hopefully be at least somewhat customizable, so it will act differently depending on what you're doing with the pen, but such details haven't been outed yet.

EU Commission designates iPadOS as gatekeeper

Image
The European Union Commission has placed iPadOS as a gatekeeper under the Digital Markets Act (DMA). Following an eight-month investigation, the EU Commission concluded that iPadOS is on three key premises. Apple is leveraging its ecosystem to disincentivize users from switching to other operating systems and devices – essentially locking users to iPadOS. A similar case is made for business users who are locked into the platform due to its “large and commercially attractive user base”. The EU Commission also concludes that iPadOS’s business users exceed the threshold for a... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/s6nTMmq

Weekly poll: will you take a chance on one of the Huawei Pura 70 phones?

The Huawei Ascend P1 was introduced way back in 2012 and while the ‘Ascend’ was eventually dropped, the P-series remained a staple of the company’s high-end Android offerings. But now it’s entering a new era and is getting a new name – Pura.

Weekly poll results: the Motorola Edge 50 series is promising but overpriced

Image
Last week’s poll shows that Motorola aimed too high with the pricing of the Edge 50 series. That said, with solid review scores and a good discount, these could become very popular (we have already reviewed the Pro and Ultra models). Starting with the Motorola Edge 50 Ultra, nearly half of voters picked the “it costs too much” option. Maybe they would have felt differently if the phone had the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, but the 8s variant is an issue at €1,000.

According to a leaked poster from Weibo, Sony will be holding an Xperia launch event on May 17. The poster itself doesn't say which phone(s) will become official on that date, but it's pretty easy to assume that one (or the only one) will be the Xperia 1 VI, which has been leaking quite a bit lately. The next Xperia flagship is expected to give up on the 4K screen and the 21:9 tall screen aspect ratio, going with a more industry... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/3UtNQG6

iOS 17.5 lets people in the EU download apps from websites

Image
Today Apple has released iOS 17.5 beta 2 to developers, and we don't normally report on such releases, but this one's important, as it marks the debut of yet another feature Apple was forced to add thanks to the EU's Digital Markets Act (DMA). Starting in iOS 17.5, EU iPhone owners will be able to download apps from websites - aka sideloading. No need to go through Apple's App Store, or any other app store for that matter - Apple also started supporting alternative app stores thanks to the DMA in iOS 17.4. Now this takes the flexibility of finding apps one step further. However,... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/80dKiuj
