A new report from Naver cites industry sources that Samsung Electronics foundries will begin mass-producing Google’s second-generation Tensor chipset on the 4nm process this month.

Pixel Watch will reportedly last “up to a day” on a charge

The Google Pixel Watch is a highly anticipated wearable and is expected to swap more users towards using WearOS. The latest report comes from 9to5Google who cites a source that gives insight into the battery life expected on the recently teased Pixel Watch. According to the source, the Google Pixel Watch is said to last up to a day on a single charge. This number doesn’t represent Google’s official battery figures as the device is not yet released – so the officially advertised battery endurance may change once the Watch launches.

Redmi sells 270,000 Note 11T Pro units in one hour

Redmi's recently unveiled Redmi Note 11T Pro for the Chinese market had its first sale earlier today, and it was a very successful one. Redmi general manager Lu Weibing reports that the brand managed to sell over 270,000 units in just one hour. While he doesn't go into specifics, we assume that means both the Note 11T Pro and the Note 11T Pro+ taken together. Still, it's a very impressive achievement, and it looks like the Chinese really like these phones. Hopefully that means they will be launched in other markets too in the future, although at this point it's anyone's guess if that ends...

Upcoming Moto G42 runs Geekbench powered by the Snapdragon 680 SoC

Motorola's ever-expanding mid-range G line is bound to do some even more expanding in the next few weeks or so. And one of the models coming up is the Moto G42, already leaked in neat-looking press renders earlier this month. The phone was also certified by a bunch of regulatory bodies, and now we get an additional piece to its puzzle. That's because a prototype Moto G42 ran Geekbench 5, and as usual this means its results are now available for the whole world to see in the benchmark's online database. Not just that, though, but also a couple of important specs. Namely, thanks...

Flashback: some crazy phones had three or even four SIM card slots

How many SIM slots does your phone have? In some regions dual-SIM models are quite popular, though in recent years eSIM (embedded SIM) has started taking over from the secondary slot for an external card. Many carriers offer low cost roaming or there is no roaming at all (e.g. within the EU), so having the option to pop in a extra card from a local carrier has become less important. But this is now, a decade ago some makers weren’t sure how many phone lines you may need in your pocket. One? Two? Four? Let’s start with the loneliest number.

Weekly poll results: Huawei Mate Xs 2 struggles to justify its price tag

Most people feel that foldables are too expensive – not that we had any doubt that is still the case, but last week’s poll reaffirms that belief. Unfortunately for the Huawei Mate Xs 2, it’s not only the price that is dissuading people from wanting one, the outward-folding design may have been a bad idea. A common theme emerged while reading through the comments – €2,000 for a phone with a year old chipset, no 5G and no Google Play Store is too much. The lack of access to parts and services was caused by trade sanctions against Huawei and the situation is unlikely to change...

One of the most renowned Apple analysts, Ming-Chi Kuo, says that Apple's future AirPods Pro 2 are right on schedule and will be unaffected by the supply chain constraints that China's manufacturing is experiencing right now. That's mainly because Apple has shifted some of its production to Vietnam, where the COVID-19 situation is vastly different from China's. This, in turn, means that the pair will be introduced sometime in the second half of this year, with mass production starting around that time too.

A few more details about the upcoming Pixel Watch have surfaced.

This co-processor was identified as a Cortex-M33 by Max Winebach. The power draw of the M33 is measured in micro Watts, so it should be able to last a long time running off the 300mAh battery.

Huawei MateStation X review

Introduction PCs and monitors have enjoyed a resurgence in the past couple of years, thanks to people having to work from home. So it made sense that all-in-ones would also enjoy more attention. More and more manufacturers are giving the form factor attention - computers that package a display, keyboard, and mouse and simplify your life while doing it. A few companies have enjoyed great success in the all-in-one market. Popular models include the Pavilion 24 from HP, and the 24-inch M1-powered iMac from Apple, while Lenovo and Microsoft have upmarket options in the Surface Studio 2, and...

Weekly poll: does the Huawei Mate Xs 2 have a future in your pocket?

Pretty early on it was clear that when it comes to foldables, keeping the screen inside is preferable to leaving it out in the open. That was more by necessity, though, the early foldable screens were too fragile to leave them with no protection. Outward folding designs like the Huawei Mate Xs 2 have many advantages, however, and this is the second generation of the design (after 2020's Mate Xs). Has the company finally cracked the durability issues? Unfortunately, this is a question that can only be answered in time - some foldable phones develop issues after months of use. But what we...

Poco Watch review

Introduction Poco has been in the smartphone game for a few years and has now set its eyes on building a larger ecosystem of products. We already reviewed the company’s first pair of wireless earbuds and now we turn out attention to the Poco Watch. A compact, lightweight device more akin to a smart band than an actual smartwatch, Poco Watch brings the usual mix of health tracking, dual-band GPS and an AMOLED display. That’s all topped with claims of up to two weeks of battery life and a €79 pricetag. How good is Poco’s first smartwatch and where does it stack up in the sea of...

Weekly poll results: the Sony Xperia 1 IV and 10 IV are great, if you can afford them

This is the blight of the Sony fan – last week’s poll shows that 3 in 4 people want to buy the new flagship, the Xperia 1 IV, but only 1 in 4 actually have the money for it. The rest wish it was cheaper, but that might take a while. The Mark 3 started at €1,300 a year ago. Today, you can find one for around €900 with some shopping around. But the Mark 4 starts at €1,400, so if it falls the same amount, it will still be a €1,000 phone a year from now. Ouch. With rising inflation and an uncertain economy not everyone has Xperia 1 money to spend. Few people found faults in the hardware,...

Back in January vivo made the Y75 5G official, and it took until today for the 4G version to also be announced.

Anyway, the new Y75 comes with a 6.44-inch 1080x2400 AMOLED screen with 60 Hz refresh rate, the MediaTek Helio G96 SoC at the helm, 8GB of RAM, 128GB of expandable storage, and a 4,050 mAh battery with 44W fast charging.

Google Pixel Watch memory and storage amounts leak

As you may know, the Pixel Watch is coming. Long a figment of tech enthusiasts' imaginations, this year it's actually real - Google itself confirmed as much, seemingly unable to keep it a secret even though the launch is only happening "this fall", which probably translates into October. So, we have a few months of Pixel Watch leaks ahead of us, and the latest one from about a week ago told us that the wearable would use Samsung's Exynos 9110 chipset. That's a bit concerning since that SoC came out in 2018 and is built on a 10nm process. Today a new source seemingly corroborates the...

The only solution that worked for me is getting a new physical SIM card. An extremely disappointing issue.— Mark Gurman...

Huawei AppGallery flaw allegedly allows anyone to download paid apps for free

Ever since it got caught in the US vs. China crossfire, Huawei has had to develop its own software solutions, as it's banned from using Google's. One of those is AppGallery, and it's basically Huawei's version of the Google Play Store or Apple App Store. AppGallery apparently has a pretty huge issue, one which, according to one developer, has gone unfixed for months even though he reported it to Huawei back in February. This flaw allows anyone with a bit of technical know-how and some time and willingness to put in a tiny bit of effort to basically download and install any paid app...
