Huawei P30 Lite in for review

Posted: 28 Apr 2019 05:00 AM PDT

This year with its P series smartphones Huawei did things differently. Whereas before the Huawei P20 Lite and P10 Lite preceded their more capable counterparts by a month, the P30 Lite comes a month after the P30 and P30 Pro. And unlike the Lites of old, this Lite is sits closer to its regular and Pro siblings. But before we compare them, let's take a look in the box. The Huawei P30 Lite comes with earbuds (3.5mm ones, as the Lite has an audio jack), USB-C cable and an 18W wall charger. Interestingly there's no complimentary case in the box, though it looks like there is an empty space...

Weekly poll results: the rear camera is all that counts, front cams get little love

Posted: 28 Apr 2019 01:00 AM PDT

Last week's poll produced one of the most definitive answers we've had in a while - rear cameras are more important then selfie cameras, the vote was nearly 10:1 in their favor. However, we went through the comments to get a feel for how people use their phones and found that the world is not ready for a world without front-facing cameras. Some use them for video calls - not shooting video, just video calls. Others like the option of face unlock. And, yes, some people do take selfies, but by the sound of it, they wouldn't be too mad if there was a way to just use the rear camera for...

Posted: 27 Apr 2019 03:00 PM PDT

So far the only thing we've heard about the mythical Galaxy Note10 Pro is that it is planned to launch alongside the normal Galaxy Note10. Today's leak, however, tells us a bit more about the handset. An alleged photo of the battery appeared online showing off a 4,500 mAh unit, which is precisely 500 mAh more than the previous generation Galaxy Note9.

Although nothing is confirmed and this is the...

This year's iPhone XR to sport telephoto lens

Posted: 27 Apr 2019 11:00 AM PDT

A report coming from a Chinese supply chain claims that the successor of the iPhone XR will borrow one of iPhone XS and XS Max key features - the 2x optical zoom. Unfortunately, there's not a lot of info regarding the camera setup but it's believed that there won't be any major upgrades. It will still be a 2x optical zoom achieved by a dual-camera module and will most likely be the same as on the current iPhone XS and XS Max - 12MP primary camera paired with a 12MP telephoto lens. It only makes sense as Apple will re-use the already available sensors in stock to keep the costs as...
