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...

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.

For starters, the phone comes with smaller screen - 6.3-inch vs 6.4-inch - and battery - 4,355mAh vs 4,614mAh. That means you get a smaller phone, though - 10g lighter, nearly 3mm shorter, 1.6mm narrower, and slightly thinner. That may be a big incentive for people after a small...

Nothing ear (2) renders leak

Carl Pei's Nothing company seems to be gearing up for at least a couple of impending earphone releases. Last year the brand unveiled the Nothing ear (1) buds, and now a new model is apparently on its way. A few renders have surfaces showcasing the design of the Nothing ear (2) buds. The visual changes compared to the Nothing ear (1) appear to be minimal. The transparent casing is still there, and so is the product's overall aesthetic. The only really obvious change we could spot is an "ear (2)" branding on the stem of the buds in place of the Nothing logo. Unfortunately, there are still no...

Xiaomi leads the Indian smartphone market, Oppo is the only brand still growing

A few days ago, Canalys published its report about global smartphone sales in the third quarter of this year (July to September), and today it's back with a similar evaluation which is this time focused on the Indian smartphone market. 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. Total shipments were 44.6 million units, down from 47.5 million in Q3 2021. Xiaomi continues to lead the market, with 9.2 million units shipped and a 21% market share, although both of...

Xiaomi 12 Lite 5G NE is on the way as a rebranded Civi 2 for international markets

Towards the end of last year, Xiaomi refreshed the Mi 11 Lite 5G by launching the 11 Lite 5G NE, a practically identical smartphone with a different chipset. In 2022, there's apparently also going to be an NE model for the Lite series, but this one will come with more differences. According to a source from China, the upcoming Xiaomi 12 Lite 5G NE was spotted in an IMEI database, which revealed its existence and its model number, that is 2210129SG. The "G" at the end there signifies that this is a device that will serve the global market, not the Chinese one. And that makes perfect...

Google Pixel 7 Pro unboxing

We're done with the hands-on, now it's time to dive deeper into the Google Pixel 7 Pro and the Pixel 7. Let's start with an unboxing. The Pixel 7 series adhere to the recent norm of poor retail boxes. There's a USB-C cable and a USB-A to USB-C dongle. The Pixel 7 Pro is clearly bigger than Pixel 7 but make no mistake, both phones are large in the context of the smartphone market. The Pro is 212g, while the 7 is just 3g shy of 200g. There are subtle differences between Pro and vanilla. The Pro's frame is shiny, polished metal, while the vanilla is matte. We're torn between the two...

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...

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...
