Sony Xperia 1 IV renders leak

Sony's 2022 flagship Android smartphone has been portrayed in leaked renders today, showing it from all angles in all its boxy, flat-sided glory. The phone is obviously expected to be the successor to the Xperia 1 III from 2021, and it's very easily recognizable as part of the Sony stable. The design is eerily reminiscent of the Xperia 1 III, although the sides look even flatter this time around. We can see the trademark Sony camera shutter button on the lower right side, the power button with embedded fingerprint sensor in the middle, and the volume rocker above it. On the...

Poco M4 Pro in for review

Last year we thought we were getting a 4G and a 5G version of the Poco M3 Pro, but only a 5G model arrived. This year we did get a 4G version, even though it arrives months after the 5G one already launched. But the Poco M4 Pro is about more than choosing a particular network generation. For example, it is the first in the M-series to use an AMOLED display, all previous models used LCD. In fact, only Poco F phones had AMOLED until today. This change comes with higher brightness than the LCDs managed (700 nits typical vs. 450 nits, 1,000 nits peak). Note that while the refresh rate is the...

TCL 30 5G and TCL 30+ hands-on at MWC 2022

TCL unveiled its 30 series right ahead at MWC 2022, and we’re in Barcelona, where we were able to get a hold of the TCL 30 5G and the TCL 30+ - two of the more impressive devices in the affordable lineup. The two devices share the same form factor and a 50 MP camera, but the main difference is the chipset. Here are our initial impressions of the duo. TCL 30 5G This phone is developed for 5G markets, and TCL equipped it with a Dimensity 700 chipset. It is practically indistinguishable from the TCL 30+, the main differences coming in performance, thanks to the relatively more...

Poco X4 Pro 5G in for review

The just-announced Poco X4 Pro 5G has arrived at HQ, so let's talk about it. It comes in a stacked box with a case, 67W charger, USB cable, and a plastic screen protector. Interestingly it's not a spare, as the display came without a protector. The X4 Pro 5G is a successor to the X3 Pro, but it's not a straightforward upgrade, but rather a shift of focus. While aspects like the display size, refresh and resolution, or the battery capacity have remained mostly the same as the X3 Pro, the screen is now a brighter AMOLED panel. The battery charges 70% faster at 41 minutes to 100%,...

Nokia C2 2nd edition unveiled with a metal frame, Nokia Headphones tag along

HMD unveiled an even more affordable option alongside the C21 duo - the Nokia C2 2nd edition. It is a successor to the original C2, but improvements are offset by downgrades. One major upgrade is the metal chassis, so that the can be more resilient against daily knocks than the plastic C2 was. But things go downhill from here. The 5.7” display was downgraded to 480 x 960 px resolution (18:9), down from 720 x 1,440 px.

Samsung Galaxy S22+ and S22 Ultra's 45W charging is a lie

Samsung’s Galaxy S22 series finally brought an increase in charging speeds after being left in the dust by most Chinese competitors. The two larger members of the new Galaxies S22 lineup claimed to offer 45W wired charging speeds while the vanilla S22 retained the 25W of its predecessor. The industry has been moving at a fast pace when it comes to charging speeds in the past few years. You can get a midrange phone from competitors with 65W charging while flagships from brands like Xiaomi and vivo have already crossed the 100W threshold.

Flashback: the Sony Xperia X series left us feeling like something was missing

Sony’s flagship Xperia Z line gathered a few loyal followers back in its day and had several esteemed members in its ranks. However, in February 2016 the series abruptly came to an end with the arrival of the Xperia X series.

Let’s look at the original trio. Sony Xperia X Performance The Sony Xperia X Performance was the leader of the pack with a Snapdragon 820 chipset, a much-needed...

Xiaomi 12 Ultra to run on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+ chipset

The famous Chinese tipster on Weibo, Digital Chat Station has revealed that the upcoming Xiaomi 12 Ultra smartphone will run on a still-unannounced Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+. Given that the Plus variants of Qualcomm's flagship SoCs are usually announced in H2, we probably shouldn't expect the Xiaomi 12 Ultra before the end of Q3 2022. The device with the corresponding model number has popped up on the radar with an unnamed Qualcomm SM8475 SoC. And since the current non-Plus SD 8 Gen 1 chip carries the model number SM8450, it's safe to assume that this is indeed the Plus variant. Rumor has...

Weekly poll results: strong demand for the Galaxy S22 Ultra, the other two are in its shadow

You can’t call it a Note, but you can call it a winner – the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra decisively topped the chart in last week’s poll. It was by far the most popular option and this is still in the pre-order stage, before detailed reviews have come up. This phone just has people excited. There is still a large contingent of people waiting on reviews (we’re working on it), but so far the future of the S22 Ultra looks bright. Will people warm up to its two siblings, given positive reviews? Maybe. Right now both the Galaxy S22 and S22+ are failing to convince people that the new cameras...

Qualcomm's next flagship SoC to support the AV1 video codec

The AV1 video codec aims to improve bandwidth efficiency on high-quality videos and has already been adopted by YouTube and Netflix. However, Qualcomm's current chips don't support native decoding of AV1 videos, unlike Samsung's Exynos flagship SoCs from 2021 and 2022. Well, Qualcomm will quickly catch up, introducing AV1 decoding in its upcoming 2023 flagship chipset. The source of this information says the SM8550 chip will be the first one to adopt it. The current Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC's model number is SM8450, so it's probably safe to assume that it's the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 we are...

Here are some details about the upcoming Google Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro

Today we got the first details about Google's upcoming Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro phones, which, if the company sticks to its usual shenanigans, should only become official in October.
