nubia Red Magic 3 will have a 90Hz screen, built-in fan to cool the S855 chipset

Posted: 23 Apr 2019 07:40 AM PDT

The nubia Red Magic 3 will have a 90Hz screen (those are becoming popular, huh?). The brand teased a refresh rate "higher than most gaming PCs", which is technically true - most people still have 60Hz monitors. As you can see in the screenshot below, you can switch the phone to 60Hz mode, which will prolong battery life. The top option is "automatic", so presumably it will switch to 90Hz only when needed (keep in mind that few games support high refresh rates, Fortnite getting a 60fps mode was big news). The nubia Red Magic 3 will have active cooling - an actual fan inside the...

Samsung Galaxy S10+ beats Huawei P30 Pro in a speed test

Posted: 23 Apr 2019 07:10 AM PDT

It's very hard to perform a perfect speed test where a single unresponsive app or a random stutter doesn't foil the entire test. But as speed tests go, the PhoneBuff-styled one is the most trustworthy around the web - it's done with mechanical arms and the test is ran multiple times to secure as fair a result as can be. In the latest PhoneBuff speed test the Huawei P30 Pro goes against the Snapdragon 855-powered Samsung Galaxy S10+, both using 8GB of RAM and both running UFS 2.1 storage. Looking at the chipsets we have a 7nm architecture on both (while the Exynos 9820 is 8nm). The...

That said, the design of the regular and limited edition models is different as the latter comes with a blue-colored back with hexagonal patterns and Avengers logo. The Oppo F11 Pro Marvel's Avengers Limited Edition will come bundled with a Captain America-themed...

Posted: 23 Apr 2019 04:00 AM PDT

Lenovo finally introduced its new flagship, called Z6 Pro. After a series of leaks, misleading official teasers and a healthy dose of rumors, the device finally arrived with four cameras, Snapdragon 855 chipset and fast charging. The screen of the phone is 6.39" Super AMOLED panel with a tiny waterdrop notch on the top. It is equipped with a fingerprint scanner underneath the display and impressively small bezel, although we would suggest not trusting Lenovo with their renders and instead wait for the first real-life photos to come in. The Qualcomm chipset is coupled with 6/8 GB RAM...

Samsung is recalling all Galaxy Fold review units

Posted: 23 Apr 2019 02:16 AM PDT

A day after issuing an official statement and delaying the launch of its first foldable phone, Samsung has apparently begun a global recall of the Galaxy Fold devices sent out to tech reviewers and members of the press. According to Reuters, Samsung is asking testers to return the devices so it can conduct a thorough analysis of the screen issues. Update: Soon after this news post was published, we were contacted by Samsung reps saying they would indeed need our Galaxy Fold review unit back. The launch has been delayed whilst we uncover the underlying factors to the few devices that...

Realme is expanding to China

Posted: 23 Apr 2019 12:45 AM PDT

Realme was announced last year as an affordable series of Oppo, just to separate later into an independent brand that still uses the infrastructure of its parent company. Interestingly enough, the company is present in plenty of Asia-Pacific markets, but none of them are the homeland of China. Now, it appears this is bound to change, since Realme established a Weibo account, a first step that many other companies have done, before starting their campaigns in the country. Yesterday the verified account asked "Did you hear I am back?" and today it doubled on the announcement with...

Posted: 22 Apr 2019 11:15 PM PDT

Oppo Reno arrived with an unusual shark-fin selfie camera two weeks ago. The company announced the launch date of the regular phone right at the event, but today it said when the variant with 10x zoom camera will be launched and how much would it cost. The date for the Chinese arrival is May 10 and prices start from CNY3,999, or about $600/€530. The flagship has a 13 MP f/3.0 periscope camera on the back, a 48 MP f/1.7 main shooter and third wide-angle snapper with 8 MP sensor and f/2.2 aperture. The front-facing camera, peeking from the elevating mechanism, is 16 MP. With the weird...

Sprint and AT&T settle lawsuit over "5G E" signal logo and marketing

Posted: 22 Apr 2019 10:30 PM PDT

A couple of months back, Sprint filed a lawsuit against AT&T for its misleading use of the "5G E" signal logo on its smartphones. It can lead customers to believe they are on a 5G network when they are, in fact, not. With a market as competitive as the United States', making misleading marketing claims is unfair to other carriers. The latest news about the lawsuit broke from Dallas Business Journal. Ironically, Dallas is home to one of AT&T's first real 5G networks, as long as you had AT&T's 5G-compatible portable "puck" hotspot with compatible data plan. According to the...

OnePlus CEO confirms OnePlus 7 Pro will have ‘breakthrough' display and 5G

Posted: 22 Apr 2019 09:30 PM PDT

OnePlus is expected to announce a follow up to the OnePlus 6 pretty soon but an announcement date has yet to be confirmed by the Chinese phone maker. In the meantime, CEO Pete Lau revealed a few things to The Verge about the upcoming OnePlus 7 and another higher-tier device: the OnePlus 7 Pro. Lau confirms that the OnePlus 7 will be announced alongside the OnePlus 7 Pro and it will feature 5G connectivity. Although no pricing information has been revealed, we can expect it to compete against Samsung, Huawei, and Apple's top players - so expect a price tag to match. Lau offers...

Oppo A1k launches in Russia, India pricing rumored at Rs 7,990

Posted: 22 Apr 2019 08:00 PM PDT

Oppo's latest midrange device has arrived in Russia: the Oppo A1k. We've seen it get certified in Thailand and some of its specs leak last month. Thanks to the Russian release, we now have the official list of specifications of the A1k. For starters, the A1k is new variant of the Oppo A1 midrange handset. The A1 launched about a year ago with similar specifications but the new one has a water drop notch and omits the fingerprint scanner to keep cost down. Let's take a closer look at this device. The A1k has a 6.1-inch display with a resolution of 1560 x 720 px which turns out to...

Samsung Galaxy View 2 renders leak showing a new hinged stand design

Posted: 22 Apr 2019 06:30 PM PDT

Samsung's Galaxy View 2 was certified by the Bluetooth SIG and the Wi-Fi Alliance back in September of last year, but it still hasn't gotten official. That, however, may finally happen soon, as today a bunch of official-looking press renders of it have been leaked. Like its predecessor, the original Galaxy View from 2015, the View 2 is a humongous tablet that comes with a built-in stand. While the View had an 18.4" touchscreen, its successor will settle for a slightly smaller 17.5" panel, probably keeping the 1080p resolution. The new model has a redesigned hinged stand, which...

vivo NEX A gets Android 9 Pie update

Posted: 22 Apr 2019 05:00 PM PDT

vivo has been anything but fast to release Android 9 Pie updates for its devices. The company has unveiled its new Funtouch 9 skin last month based on that OS release, and last week we got a timeline saying it would roll out to a total of 13 smartphones by July, in beta form. So clearly vivo is in no rush here. On the flip side, the NEX A has just started receiving a Funtouch 9 build based on Android 9 Pie today in China. It's unclear whether this is a beta release, but we're willing to assume it is, because there has so far been no official mention of finalized non-beta software based...

Huawei P30 Pro torn down on video

Posted: 22 Apr 2019 03:30 PM PDT

There's no doubt that the Huawei P30 Pro has a lot of tech crammed into a smartphone's body and what better way to appreciate it by taking it apart and taking a look at what's inside? YouTuber JerryRigEverything starts the teardown the same way as many others - he uses a heat gun to soften the adhesive on the rear glass. The back of his P30 Pro is the breathing crystal color and this rear glass pane is the first to come off. Thankfully, there aren't any ribbon cables tethered to the rear glass of the phone, so it easily comes off. Right away we can see the upper mainboard and the...

What do you do with a bunch of old Galaxies and iPhones? Wreck them of course

Posted: 22 Apr 2019 02:00 PM PDT

There are very few topics that are as divisive as phone torture tests. Some people find them interesting and/or informative while others are utterly repulsed by them. We can't say we enjoy seeing phones that were created with so much thought, engineering and effort be subjected to useless violence but in the case of the video below, there's somewhat of an interesting purpose - to see which phones were made better - Galaxies or iPhones. The video, by 'The King of Random' on YouTube pits a bunch of older Samsung Galaxy S phones against a bunch of older iPhones and proceeds to drop them, burn...

Posted: 22 Apr 2019 11:25 AM PDT

Earlier today, reports spewed from sources all over the world about Samsung delaying Galaxy Fold employee trainings and reportedly cancelling product launch events in China that were set to take place on April 24 and 26. Not long after the swirling rumors of an imminent delay, Samsung issues an official statement about the Galaxy Fold's indefinite delays. Remember, last week a few Galaxy Fold units in the hands of early tech reviewers were fatally damaged in two scenarios. The first one was due to some kind of defect in the display or folding mechanism, and the other was due to users...

Samsung Display reportedly working on two dual foldable screen designs

Posted: 22 Apr 2019 10:00 AM PDT

Samsung Display is reportedly working on dual foldable screens with versions measuring 8" and 13". The panels are expected to be ready this year, but it's unclear when the first devices to use them will appear. According to Korean publication The Bell, two different designs are being developed - G-type and S-type. The letters are meant to illustrate the shape, but pictures should make it more clear: S-type foldable screen (via: Mobiel Kopen) • G-type foldable screen (via: LetsGoDigital) By the sound of it, the 8" display will be a G-type and the 13" an S-type. They will...

The phone will also come with a textured gradient back panel, dual cameras, and a fingerprint scanner.
