Flashback: Samsung Galaxy A9 (2018), the world's first phone with four cameras on its back

How many cameras are enough? How many are too many? The Samsung Galaxy A9 (2018) came out around three and a half years ago and it was the first ever quad camera phone. It promised a lot of versatility, allowing you to switch between three focal lengths to get the best possible framing for your shot, as rendering a shallow depth of field normally possible only with the large sensors of DSLRs. Let’s look at the camera roster of the A9. There were three usable cameras on the back and one utility module (we’ll get to the front-facing camera later). 24 MP primary camera, f/1.7 aperture,...

Weekly poll results: OnePlus Ace/10R success hinges on the right pricing

Money, money, money – it always comes down to the price of a phone these days. The OnePlus Ace, which launched as the OnePlus 10R in India a few days ago, has potential, but the company has to hit the right price point. Many in the comments were wishing that this will be a sub-€400 phone in Europe, however, while we don’t know the exact price yet, the €450 price tag of the Realme GT Neo2 makes it unlikely. We do know the price for India: ₹39,000 for the base model (80W charging, 5,000 mAh battery) and ₹44,000 for the Endurance Edition (150W charging, 4,500 mAh battery). We mentioned the...

Samsung Galaxy A23 in for review

The Samsung Galaxy A23 arrived at HQ and is now in the review queue. It comes in a simple box with a 15W charger, USB cable, and a SIM tool. Our particular unit is the Black one but you can have the phone in White, Blue or Peach as well. The Galaxy A22 had an AMOLED display, albeit of 720p resolution, and at 6.4 inches and with reasonable bezels it made up for a compact phone. The Galaxy A23 has a larger 6.6-inch 1080p LCD with a 90Hz refresh rate, but in turn is a bigger handset. Samsung Galaxy A23 The display isn't bad, but it's not all that great either.

DxOMark: OnePlus 10 Pro's cameras score poorly, places behind the Mi 10 Pro

DxOMark published its review of the OnePlus 10 Pro's camera and it appears to be in line with most of the reviews out there. The conclusion is that the handset has some considerable issues that keep it from matching its rivala. As a result, the handset takes 27th place in DxOMark's global ranking, right behind the likes of Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro, Mi 11 Pro, vivo X60 Pro+ and Apple iPhone 12 Pro. All are more than year-old flagships. The most notable cons DxOMark pointed out are color artifacts with a pink-ish cast, especially in low-light conditions, ghosting and fusion artifacts.

Apple had a record quarter from January to March

Apple has just reported its quarterly results for its fiscal second quarter, which ended on March 26 and is thus confusingly the first quarter of the year (fiscal years are funny like that sometimes). Anyway, it's good news for the Cupertino company, as it's posted record revenue for a March quarter. Apple's revenue was $97.3 billion in that quarter, up 9% year-on-year (aka compared to the 2021 March quarter). This resulted in quarterly earnings per diluted share of $1.52, which you should care about only if you own Apple shares. Also for shareholders, it's important to note that Apple's...

This means that Twitter has now "entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by an entity wholly owned by Elon Musk", according to the company's press release.
