Samsung Galaxy S24+ in for review

We finally managed to get our hands on the new Galaxy S24+ and have brought it straight in for review. Samsung packages just a USB-C cable with its Galaxy phones but some retailers will offer Samsung's new, rather tiny 25W adapter. Not everyone offers this deal, but Samsung does give you a free upgrade from 256GB to 512GB during the pre-order period, as well as trade-in bonuses and discounts on Samsung services. Unboxing the Galaxy S24+ The Galaxy S24+ feels like a completely new device - something we couldn't have imagined saying a few weeks ago. For one, it's fully matte on...

Netflix co-CEO says it's not worth launching an app for the Apple Vision Pro yet

Pre-orders for the Apple Vision Pro started off last week and a few days ago analyst Ming-Chi Kuo reported that Apple has sold between 160,000 and 180,000 units. However, the proud new owners of Apple’s spatial computer won’t be using them to watch Netflix. Netflix Co-CEO Greg Peters was interviewed by Stratechery and was there is no Netflix app on the Vision Pro. Long story short, it’s not worth it – there aren’t enough potential subscribers that own the headset relative to the amount of effort it would take to port the streaming app to the platform.

Apple opens up iOS to alternative app stores in the EU

Forced by the EU's Digital Markets Act, Apple has today announced that it's making big changes to iOS, the App Store, and how browsers work on the platform. These changes will become available in the EU with the iOS 17.4 release which is scheduled to land in March. Let's start with browsing. Even today you can select a default browser that isn't Safari, but any browser that isn't Safari has to use Safari's WebKit rendering engine. That will change, every browser can use whatever engine it wants. Additionally, after EU iPhone owners install iOS 17.4, the first time they go into Safari they...

Google launches new Mint color for the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro

So, you can purchase a Google Pixel 8 or Pixel 8 Pro in the new color called Mint, exclusively from the Google online store and Google Fi in the US. According to Jenny Davis, CMF design manager at Google, it's "a breath of fresh air and a cool spring breeze. It's serene, yet not boring. It's a luminous color that really invites the mind into a state of calmness - energized calmness". It joins Rose,...

Google Pixel 9 Leaked Images Suggest iPhone 15-Like Flat Edges, Triple Rear Cameras

Google Pixel 8 is still new in the market, but early renders of the Pixel 9 have already started emerging on the Web, giving us a look at what the company's next flagship smartphone could look like. The renders show the handset in a blue shade and suggest three cameras on the rear. This would be a significant update for the vanilla model. It looks like Google may have redesigned the rear camera module. The images indicate flat edges on the Pixel 9, similar to what we saw on the Pixel 9 Pro. It also has a hole-punch cutout for the selfie camera on the display.

After posting CAD-based renders of the Google Pixel 9 Pro, tipster Steve H.McFly (@OnLeaks), has leaked renders and specifications of the Google Pixel 9 in association with 91Mobiles. The renders suggest a compact design for the handset with flattened sides, resembling the latest iPhone 15 series. The phone appears to get a redesigned rear camera module housing three sensors and an LED flash. This would be a huge upgrade for the vanilla Pixel as the previous Pixel 6, Pixel 7, and Pixel 8 only got dual rear cameras.

Instead of extending the camera bar across the entire width of the back panel as seen on the current Pixel 8 and older models, the Pixel 9 appears to have an oval-shaped island similar to the Pixel Fold. The camera unit appears to include a new periscope telephoto lens. Specification-wise, this update would bring the regular Pixel handset much more in tune with the Pro model.

The Pixel 9 is seen in a blue colour in the leaked images. The handset could be offered in multiple colour options during the launch. Further, the screen has a centrally located single hole-punch cutout for the selfie camera.

Google's Pixel 9 is said to measure 152.8x71.9x8.5mm. It is expected to sport a 6.1-inch screen, down from the Pixel 8's 6.2-inch screen. 

Google is expected to announce the Pixel 9 series in October. The handset could run on Android 15 and the company's in-house Tensor G4 SoC.

Nokia G42 gets Android 14 in India

As we mentioned when we discussed Motorola's intentions regarding updates to Android 14, we'll say it again - there are some Android device makers who are very good at issuing updates (Google and Samsung come to mind), and there are some like Motorola and HMD Global. The latter has finally started pushing Android 14 today to the Nokia G42, which was announced last June. This is the first HMD device to receive the new OS version launched by Google many months ago, and hopefully it won't be the last - although HMD hasn't yet published a list of eligible phones.

Mere hours ago some CAD-based renders of the upcoming Google Pixel 9 Pro were outed, and now it's time for its smaller and more affordable sibling to get the exact same treatment. Ladies and gentlemen, meet the Google Pixel 9. Right off the bat, one thing clearly stands out. Unlike the Pixel 8, the Pixel 9 has three cameras on the rear, one of which obviously has a periscope zoom lens. This is a huge update for the 'vanilla' Pixel line, and one that brings it much more in tune with the Pro, spec-wise. Moving on, the other obvious thing is that Google has also been infested by the...

Google Pixel 9 Pro Design Renders Leak; Suggests Flat Edges, Redesigned Camera Bar

Google Pixel 8 series with the vanilla Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro was launched in October at the ‘Made by Google' event. Now, the first Pixel 9 Pro renders have emerged online offering a glimpse into the possible design of Google's next flagship. The renders suggest a design deviation from the past few generations. The Pixel 9 Pro seems to have flat edges similar to what we've seen on iPhone models and a redesigned camera bar.

Prominent leaker Steve H.McFly (@OnLeaks), in collaboration with MySmartPrice, has shared alleged renders and specifications of Google Pixel 9 Pro. The handset appears to have flat edges resembling iPhone models. The camera bar seems to have undergone a design change in the upcoming handset as it does not appear integrated into the frame. The pill-shaped camera island is not connected to the edges of the device, deviating from the previous design language of the Pixel Pro models. It looks more like the camera bar from the Pixel Fold. Three cameras are placed side-by-side and covered by glass. Google's temperature sensor appears to make a return with the upcoming phone.

The front of the Pixel 9 Pro draws similarities to the Pixel 7 and Pixel 8 series, with a hole-punch cutout for the selfie camera and narrow bezels. The power button and volume rockers are seen on the right side of the phone. The left side seems to have antenna markings. The USB Type-C port, speaker grille, and SIM card tray are seen to be housed at the bottom of the handset. Google seems to have changed the arrangement of the SIM card tray. In the Pixel 8 Pro, the SIM tray is placed on the left spine. The mmWave antenna cover and a microphone appear to be present on the top of the phone.

Google's upcoming Pixel 9 Pro is said to feature a 6.5-inch display and could measure 162.7x76.6x8.5mm. By comparison, the Pixel 8 Pro measures 162.6x76.5x8.8mm and features a 6.7-inch display.

Google is expected to announce the Pixel 9 series in October. The handset could ship with Android 15 and the company's in-house Tensor G4 SoC. We can expect more leaks in the coming days.

Asus Zenfone 11 shows up in the Google Play Console with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3

Last year there was a rumor going round, saying that Asus would discontinue the Zenfone line and thus the Zenfone 10 would be the last of the diminutive flagships in the company's roster. Thankfully for those who are into smaller phones, Asus itself quickly denied the rumor, and that was that. Now, the Google Play Console comes to further prove the point that Asus has not given up on the Zenfones, by listing the upcoming Zenfone 11. The Zenfone 10 was announced in June 2023 and released the following month, so we're probably still quite far removed from the official introduction of...

Samsung is thinking about making a cheaper Galaxy Z Fold6

According to a new rumor out of its home market of Korea, Samsung is considering releasing a cheaper version of the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold6. This isn't to say the Fold6 itself will be cheaper - but it might be joined by a cheaper option. This is the first time Samsung has ever considered developing a lower-cost foldable, the source of this rumor says. Interestingly, the reason for choosing the Fold line for this move and not the Flip is that the Flips that have launched so far are selling much more. So with a cheaper Fold, the Fold line could be reinvigorated. Samsung Galaxy Z...

OnePlus 12 video teardown shows massive cooling system inside

OnePlus has repeatedly talked about the OnePlus 12's massive internal cooling system, and a new teardown video lets us see just how big it actually is.

Huawei P70 series to come with a 6.7-inch screen and 50MP main cam with variable aperture

A new post by the well-known tipster, Digital Chat Station, reveals some of the Huawei P70 series' specs and the leak seems to arrive just in time.

Samsung Galaxy A15 in for review

This is the new Samsung Galaxy A15 - the LTE variant, mind you, not the 5G-enabled one, and it steps in to replace the Galaxy A14. The Galaxy A15 brings a 90Hz Super AMOLED display - a big step up from the 60Hz PLS LCD on the 4G Galaxy A14. The other key change is the move to a much more efficient 6nm MediaTek Helio G99 with as much as 8GB of RAM. Samsung kept the camera system mostly intact, ditto the 5,000mAh battery, but you do get faster charging at 25W. The Galaxy A15 ships with a USB cable.

It will become available on January 25 at midnight PT, and it's called Minty Fresh. It's actually unclear whether this will be limited to just the Pixel 8 Pro (shown in the teaser), or if it will also make its way to the Pixel 8. We don't have a lot to wait in order to find out, however. 01000110 01110010 01100101 01110011 01101000 00100000 01111001 01100101 01100001 01110010 00101100 00100000 01100110 01110010 01100101 01110011 01101000 00100000 01100100 01110010...

Samsung Galaxy AI is coming to these older devices

Yesterday, Samsung unveiled the Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24+, and Galaxy S24 Ultra - all three models bursting at the seams with AI. Galaxy AI, in fact.

HarmonyOS Next gets closer to prime time, video shows off the new UI design language

HarmonyOS Next is getting closer to release – Huawei just posted an introduction video that highlights some of the changes to the UI design language. It’s trying to break away from the drab flat design and add back dimensionality with concepts like “Spatial,” “Vivid Color” and “Immersive.” This version of HarmonyOS is dubbed “Star River” edition, although some online translation services render the name as “Galaxy” edition. We’ll stick with “Star River” to avoid confusion. HarmonyOS Next will drop Android support in China, so local developers are busy porting over their apps to...

Samsung Galaxy S24+ gets QHD+ display and 12GB of RAM, S24 tags along with 7 years of support

The company has not yet confirmed the name of any model but has officially teased the launch date of the first Realme Note phone. Details about a rumoured Redmi Note 1 recently surfaced online suggesting that the handset will launch sometime later this month. There have been leaks saying that a phone with the moniker Realme Note 50 could be the first model in the new upcoming Note series. Now, several leaks hint at key specifications, colour options and design of this purported handset. 

In a Facebook post, Realme Philippines shared a teaser for the first Realme Note handset. It showed the back panel of the upcoming model briefly in a black colour option and confirmed its launch on January 24. The company, however, has yet to confirm the model name or any other details about this handset.

Tipster Paras Guglani (@passionategeekz) has shared a leaked poster for the Realme Note 50 that is tipped to launch on January 24. He said that the phone will launch globally in black and blue colourways. He claims that it will be a rebranded version of a Realme C-series model and is likely to be a budget offering.

The dual rear camera setup of the phone appear as individual circular units alongside an LED flash also housed in a circular unit on the top left corner of the panel. Meanwhile, in an unboxing video posted by Instagram user Superbdan (@superbdan), we also see the handset in a blue shade.

IDC confirms: Apple was king of the smartphone market in 2023, overtaking Samsung

The last time Samsung wasn't No.1 in smartphone sales in any given year was all the way back in 2010. And yet - it's finally happened again.

According to IDC estimates, the Cupertino company shipped 234.6 million smartphones last year, for a market share of 20.1%, while Samsung only managed 226.6 million shipments taking 19.4% of the pie.

Mercedes-Benz Boasts of In-Car NFT Gallery as Part of MB.OS Revamp

Mercedes, the German luxury carmaker has decided to express its stance on the controversial Web3 sector, in a rather bold and artistic way. In a revamp to its operating system, Mercedes-Benz has decided to include a digital gallery, showing off non-fungible tokens (NFTs). Built on blockchains, NFTs are digital collectibles that hold underlaying values, which makes them a lucrative investment item for members of the Web3 community. NFTs could be inspired by artworks, cartoons, game characters, or even imaginary elements.

During its recent presentation at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, the German automaker showcased its next-generation Mercedez-Benz Operating System (MB.OS) that brings changes to its in-car entertainment provisions, Decrypt reported.

As part of these tweaks to its OS, the dashboard of Mercedes-Benz now features a new app called ‘MBUX Collectibles'. Through this app, users of these cars will be able to browse through NFTs linked to the brand. Last year, the car company had dropped its second NXT Icons NFT collection. The 18,860 digital that are collectibles part of this collection, for instance, will be shown as part of the car's NFT gallery.

1/ We are excited to announce our next core collection, Mercedes-Benz NXT Icons, which takes you on a journey through @MercedesBenz's design heritage and features icons from both the past and present. Find out more about this collection in this thread. ↓ pic.twitter.com/6EauPdTBEi

— Mercedes-Benz NXT (@MercedesBenzNXT) August 22, 2023

The first ever NFT collection from Mercedes-Benz debuted in April last year, and it was named ‘Maschine'. NFTs from this series will also be featured in the revamped dashboard. Hoping to connect with a younger generation of customers, the German luxury car brand has been trying to establish itself as a pro-Web3 brand for a while now.

Apart from NFTs, Mercedes-Benz had inked a sponsorship deal with the FTX crypto exchange in September 2021. The partnership automatically fell apart after the FTX exchange collapsed last year and ended up filing for bankruptcy. Not just NFTs and crypto exchanges – the company has also taken into conscience, the use of blockchain in its operations. In 2020, the company piloted a blockchain project to track the amount of CO2 emissions triggered by its cobalt supply chain.

There is now wireless charging too (15W), though the battery capacity was reduced slightly (at 5,500mAh it’s not small by any means).
