Samsung wants to sell 270 million devices next year with a big focus on foldables
Samsung is expecting to sell around 260 million smartphones this year and aims to sell about 270 million units in 2023, according to a new report out of its home of Korea. The company's device sales peaked back in 2017 at 320 million units, and it's not gone over 300 million ever since. The current estimate of 260 million units sold in 2022 is about 10 million more than last year, and the company wants to grow that by 10 million again next year. In order to do this, it will reportedly focus a lot on foldables, which can help it grow its profitability rather than sheer sales volumes...

Google Pixel Watch review
Introduction Last year, Google and Samsung joined forces to release a unified version of Wear OS, one that's more capable, polished, and one that would remain exclusive to Samsung Watch devices for almost a year. Now, with just a handful of smartwatches running Wear OS 3.5, Google's Pixel Watch will be regarded as the golden standard for Wear OS smartwatches. The Google Pixel Watch is Google's first Pixel wearable offering, promising a smooth, polished experience and hoping to be regarded as "the Apple Watch of Androids". The Pixel Watch also carries the future of Wear OS as a...

Flashback: Firefox OS burns down, KaiOS rises from the ashes
The browser wars of the 90s and 2000s saw the dominant player - Microsoft's Internet Explorer - locked in a David and Goliath battle against Firefox, an open-source browser that was spun off from work at Netscape. A decade later another software war began - Microsoft was involved again with Windows Mobile, but the Goliath in this case was Symbian lead by Nokia. You should be familiar with the two Davids that took it on - Apple's iPhone and Google's Android project. However, today's story is about Firefox OS, which was developed by Mozilla, the same community that had been working on the...

Weekly poll: is the Motorola Razr 2022 the perfect flip foldable for you?
Flip foldables are already less common than horizontal foldables as companies choose to focus on large screen premium devices. There is really only Samsung, Motorola and Huawei, though the latter is cut off from the Google Play Store and 5G connectivity. As for Motorola, its Razrs felt like gimmicks – $1,400 for a Snapdragon 765 phone, even a foldable one, was not something that people actually wanted. Maybe some nostalgic fans with money to burn, but that’s about it. Motorola Razr 2022 in different flip positions The Motorola Razr 2022 is a completely different beast,...

Weekly poll results: the 2022 iPads fail to impress
The new 2022 iPads went on sale this week, but most of our readers will not be picking one up. The opinions in last week’s poll were against the new Apple slates and with the same reasoning too – higher price, not enough upgrades to entice would-be buyers. In the case of the iPad Pro 11 (2022) and iPad Pro 12.9 (2022), a MacBook Air is seen as a better tool for getting some work done on the go. macOS has always been geared towards work and creativity and has only gotten better over the years.

The fact that a 13 Lite is in the works is no surprise whatsoever, we always assumed the 12 Lite would have a successor. Its model number, though, is very intriguing. That's because just last week the same model number was seen in another database, where its name was said to be Xiaomi 12 Lite 5G NE when it does eventually launch.

Apple TV+ will increase by $2 per month (if you pay monthly) or $10 per year (if you pay yearly). The new prices are $6.99 per month or $69 per year. Apple Music's price hike is $1 for individuals and $2 for families, thus the new prices are $10.99 per month for the individual plan and $16.99 per month for the family...

For starters, the phone comes with smaller screen - 6.3-inch vs 6.4-inch - and battery - 4,355mAh vs 4,614mAh.

Overall, shipments in India declined by 6% in Q3 2022 compared to the year-ago quarter, which Canalys speculates happened because of weak demand for low-end devices.

Samsung quietly unveils the Galaxy A04e, maybe the cheapest A04 variation so far
While a lot of the attention of both the media and consumers alike may be captured by the high-end Galaxy S line, Samsung also makes many low-end devices - and keeps adding more and more to its roster seemingly every month. Case in point: today the company has quietly unveiled the Galaxy A04e, not to be confused with the Galaxy A04 which was announced back in August, nor the Galaxy A04s which became official in September. October's letter is "e" apparently, so let's see what we get here. Samsung Galaxy A04e in light blue, copper, and black (left to right) The Galaxy A04e...

iOS 16.1 is officially arriving on October 24, Fitness+ can be used without an Apple Watch
A couple of days ago with its introduction of new iPads, Apple announced that it's finally going to release the delayed iPadOS 16 on Monday, October 24. At the time we speculated, based on previous rumors, that iOS 16.1 might be outed at the same time, and today Apple has confirmed just that. iOS 16.1 is coming along for the ride on October 24, and we now assume the rumors that said the iPadOS release would also be labeled 16.1 might be true too. It would make sense for the company to re-sync the version numbers of its mobile operating systems. With iOS 16.1, you'll be able to subscribe...

Google Pixel Watch video teardown reveals unreplaceable parts
Both of Google's new phones, which were announced a couple of weeks or so ago, have already been subjected to very detailed video teardowns. But as you may know, the company also unveiled the Pixel Watch at the same event, and if you were anxiously waiting for a teardown of the wearable, you're in luck as that's exactly what the folks over at iFixit have treated us to today. The teardown reveals a very interesting first-generation package. The Pixel Watch is pretty much a puzzle of sorts. On one hand, it has a removable back, something that took Apple multiple generations to do for its...

Apple will finally release iPadOS 16 on October 24 (presumably iOS 16.1 too)
Looks like the rumors were right all along - Apple just confirmed today that it's releasing what it's calling iPadOS 16 on Monday, October 24. That's exactly the date which was rumored last week. Apple released iOS 16 last month but, for the first time since separating its phone OS from its tablet OS, did not also send out iPadOS 16 at the same time. The delay reportedly has to do with the newly introduced Stage Manager multitasking functionality, which will be available for iPads powered by M1 and M2 chipsets. iPadOS 16 The October 24 release is being referred to by Apple as...

Apple TV 4K updated with A15 Bionic and Ethernet
Apple has launched an updated version of the Apple TV 4K media player. The new model features a faster processor, improved HDR support, and better connectivity. The new Apple TV 4K features the A15 Bionic SoC. Apple does not mention the core counts or clock speeds, which makes it difficult to ascertain if it is identical to the one on the iPhone 14 models or a cut down version. The company claims it has 50% faster CPU and 30% faster GPU performance compared to the A12 Bionic on the previous generation model. The new model adds support for the HDR10+ standard alongside the existing...

Mark Zuckerberg says WhatsApp is "far more private and secure than iMessage"
Back in January a Google exec picked on Apple for "green bubble bullying" via iMessage, and today Meta's CEO Mark Zuckerberg has a bone to pick with Apple too, and it's also about iMessage. In an Instagram post, Zuck says WhatsApp is "far more private and secure than iMessage". It has end-to-end encryption that works across iPhones and Android, including for group chats, end-to-end encrypted backups, and disappearing messages. All of these are features that iMessage does not have, he points out. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Mark Zuckerberg (@zuck)...

Apple AirPods Pro 2 review
Introduction and unboxing It's exactly three years since Apple unveiled the AirPods Pro and looking at their successors, it's obvious that Apple hasn't grown tired of the design. But don't let that fool you - just about everything has gotten better on the inside and Apple will have yet another winner on its hands. In comparison to 2019, 2022 has a far more saturated and stronger TWS market, and the AirPods Pro 2's ability to actively suppress sound is no longer enough to stand out. Strong offerings from Apple's well-known rivals in the smartphone world, as well as from audio staples...

The final two spots go the Redmi Note 11 and the Samsung Galaxy S22, the latter meaning the Korean maker and Apple are tied for...
