Poco unveiled the F6 and F6 Pro last week, and the two devices are already on sale. Having looked at the flagship (for Poco at least) F6 Pro in both written and video form, it's now time to turn our attention to the 'vanilla' F6 that is anything but 'vanilla' in reality. It has a lot of specs for the money, and even beats the Pro in some areas like the dust protection and Gorilla Glass version. Plus, it's using the new Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 SoC, which is an almost-flagship chipset - or at least that's what Qualcomm and Poco want us to think. So this is definitely a very intriguing device,... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/5a73Mxk

TikTok is preparing a second version of its algorithm code for its 170 million users in the United States, reports Reuters. According to multiple sources who spoke to the agency, the work on splitting the code began late last year, predating the Congress-approved bill that wants ByteDance to sell its business in the United States or be banned from the country. The social media owner initially declined to comment, but later, a statement was posted on X, saying the story was “misleading and factually inaccurate” without providing further info on what exactly is inaccurate. The report... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/uYgOSx2

While OnePlus has launched the Nord CE4 back in April, the Nord 4 still hasn't been made official. According to a new rumor on the matter, that's set to change in the near future. Specifically, at some point during the third week of July - so between July 15 and July 21. Assuming this rumor pans out, this means the Nord 4 will be announced almost exactly one year after its predecessor, the Nord 3. OnePlus Ace 3V The Nord 4 is expected to be a rebranded Ace 3V, which debuted in China in March. Thus, it should be powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 chipset, the best performing... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/AkBz0SN

Google has the habit of dropping an 'a' model some time later than the regular flagship duo and such is the case now with the Pixel 8a. Sure, if you already have the Pixel 8, you don't need to be contemplating much around this time, but if you're in the market for a new Pixel, things get more complicated. So we figured we'd put together a summary of how the 8a is similar to its more esteemed stablemate and how the two differ, possibly helping you decide for yourself.

Just a few hours ago an image showing a part of the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold6's back leaked, following another leak yesterday which showed us the top side of its front. Now a new image has been outed and this one shows us the entire front of the device, compared to its predecessor (which is on the left) for good measure. As was already obvious from yesterday's leak, the Fold6 will adopt a more squared-off design, reminiscent of Samsung's Galaxy S24 Ultra, with corners that are less rounded than the Fold5's. The bezels for the cover screen seem to have been slightly reduced as well,... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/irKOu5H

No, this isn’t a smartphone – but it does run Android. Meet the Xreal Beam Pro, which is meant to be the perfect companion for the company’s Air AR glasses. It’s certainly a huge upgrade over the original Beam. If you’re not familiar, Xreal makes normal-looking glasses that have displays built in. They have no processing power on board, instead they are driven by a smartphone over USB-C (or a computer). Alternatively, you could plug in the Beam to provide power and handle wireless video casting. The Xreal Beam Pro is so much more.

Huawei sold the most foldable smartphones in the first quarter of this year (from January to March), according to a new report released by Counterpoint Research. This is a pretty shocking revelation considering how insignificant Huawei's sales have been in most parts of the world for the past few years, ever since the US government decided to cut its access to Google services. Most people we assume think about Samsung when asked about foldables, but despite that, the Korean company only managed to hit the No.2 spot in the same period of time.

There are three versions of the Xiaomi Redmi Pad so far – regular, Pro and SE – but none of them offers 5G connectivity. That will change soon as CEO Lei Jun shared that a 5G variant of the Redmi Pad Pro is in the works and that has now appeared on TENAA as well. The slate has a model number 24074RPD2C with the “C” standing for China. Two other variants have been spotted: 24074RPD2G (Global) and 24074RPD2I (India).

The Pixel 8a is powered by a 4,492mAh battery, a hair smaller capacity than the Pixel 8’s 4,575mAh cell. It also features a smaller display with a 6.1-inch diagonal instead of 6.2”. And since the two phones use an identical chipset, it's no surprise the Pixel 8a scored a similar Active Use Score as the original Pixel 8 – 11 hours and 25 minutes.

All Tensor chipsets so far and the upcoming Tensor G4 have been based on Exynos chips and fabbed by Samsung. But Google has been working on an in-house design and will reportedly move away from Samsung’s foundries. A trading record provides the first proof that the Tensor G5 will be fabbed by TSMC instead.

We’ve been hearing rumors the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Watch7 series will feature three versions with a new premium tier dubbed “Ultra”. But that might not be the branding that Samsung has settled on – the premium watch might be called “Samsung Galaxy Watch X” instead. That’s not all – the watch will compete head-to-head with the Apple Watch Ultra series (maybe that’s why Samsung wanted to move away from the “Watch7 Ultra” name) and diving will be a key factor. The Galaxy Watch X will reportedly be water resistant up to 100m (330ft), which is the same water resistance rating as the Apple... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/GV0jpud

This March Apple was hit with a massive €1.8 billion fine ($2B) over a complaint initially filed by Spotify back in 2019. The complaint was simple – Apple is charging app makers a 30% tax when a user subscribes to their service for a year and 15% for subsequent years. That gave an unfair advantage to Apple Music over Spotify as the latter was forced to raise subscription costs to cover the tax. Apple isn’t going to just pay up, though.

The Pixel 9 series is still a few months out, but the Pixel 8 is rather pricey right now and some colorways are almost out of stock. And the 8a is getting some deals. For example, Amazon is offering a $100 gift card with the purchase of a Google Pixel 8a. This can be spend on a case, a charger, headphones or... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/uNR2bOz

Poco is planning to unveil The Poco F6 and F6 Pro at an event on May 23. We already know quite a bit about the design and specs of both phones. Still, it doesn't hurt to get some affirmation, and this time, it comes in the form of an unboxing video of the F6 Pro spotted on Dailymotion. The video doesn't seem official in any way and is even a bit shaky, hinting at its amateur nature. However, it all but confirms the earlier assumptions that the Poco F6 Pro is just a rebranded Redmi K70 for international markets. The two phones look the same and seem to share their core specs.

Yesterday the new 13-inch iPad Pro got put through a grueling durability test involving scratches, burns, and bends, and today we have the next logical step - a teardown video. This time it's provided by the Phone Repair Guru YouTube channel, and if you've always wondered what's inside the thinnest device (not just the thinnest tablet) Apple's ever made, well, look no further. This tablet is barely thicker than its USB-C port, which is a feat of engineering in itself - though let's not forget the port may be to blame for the iPad's 'performance' in the aforementioned bend test. Then... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/FxjoCmQ

We've already heard that Apple is revamping its iPhone lineup next year, retiring the Plus model and launching a Slim one instead. But so far we thought the iPhone 17 Slim would be similarly positioned to the Plus, only thinner. According to a new report today, that won't be the case. Instead, the iPhone 17 Slim will be the most premium of the bunch, and thus more expensive than even the iPhone 17 Pro Max, believe it or not. Apple seems to love thinness these days, having recently released the thinnest device it's ever made in the 13" iPad Pro, and is now apparently looking to trim... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/391BbxN

Motorola launched the Razr 40 and Razr 40 Ultra last June, and their successors are now very much on the way. We've already seen leaks detailing the Razr 50 Ultra's specs and pricing, and today it's time to turn out attention to the non-Ultra Razr 50 - which, we should add, is likely to launch in some places like North America as the Razr 2024. This will allegedly come with a 6.9-inch pOLED folding screen with 1080x2640 resolution, and a 3.63-inch cover display with a 120 Hz refresh rate. That will definitely be the most obvious upgrade compared to its successor's 1.5-inch cover... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/a8YDk7l
