Posted: 15 Apr 2019 07:00 AM PDT

The Realme 3 Pro is being unveiled - just very, very slowly. CEO Madhav Sheth is revealing details about the camera currently, the latest morsel of information is that it will have Super Slo-Mo video. The Realme 2 Pro can shoot slow-motion video at 720p at 240fps while the Realme 3 barely manages 90fps at that resolution. Of course the old Pro has a Snapdragon 660 chipset and we're expecting something more powerful for the Realme 3 Pro. Earlier, Sheth teased the low-light capabilities of the phone as well as its burst mode. The night mode will likely be a version of the Nightscape...

Huawei P30 Pro gets AR Measurement tool

Posted: 15 Apr 2019 05:30 AM PDT

A new update just hit some Huawei P30 Pro devices in China bringing the so-called AR Measurement tool. It's standalone app that lets you measure distances leveraging the phone's ToF camera. The company teased the feature when the phone launched, but it wasn't available on the phone from the start. Instead it was to be delivered later on and the time has clearly come. At the time of writing this piece, the update still hasn't arrived to our unit, which means that Huawei is seeding the update only in China for now.

Sony WH-XB700 Extra Bass Wireless Headphones review

Posted: 15 Apr 2019 12:00 AM PDT

The Sony WH-XB700 wireless is the latest entrant in the company's range of Extra Bass headphones. The XB700 take their place somewhere close to the lower mid-range in the price range and come in at $130. The XB700 are a fairly basic pair of wireless headphones, and you can tell that from their design. They have a very minimal, monochromatic design without any flashy elements or any design flair of any sort. The headphones are made almost entirely out of plastic with a matte, sandblasted finish on the ear cups and headband. While not necessarily cheap-looking, it doesn't really...

Posted: 14 Apr 2019 01:00 PM PDT

Samsung's new A series is so good that even the S10 lineup might lose some sleep.

Posted: 14 Apr 2019 09:00 AM PDT

This week we saw the unveiling of two phones with unique pop-up cameras - the Samsung Galaxy A80 and the Oppo Reno 10x zoom. They have other similarities too, like a large full view display and 48MP cameras on the back. The Galaxy A80's dual action mechanism manages to rotate the main camera to face forward. Samsung designed this phone to produce the best quality selfie photos and videos. Just think, some flagships don't even have autofocus on their selfie cameras, let alone large 48MP sensors or ToF modules that create real time bokeh for videos. The Oppo Reno 10x zoom also has a...
