As of now, the Playmojis can only be used with the main camera on the Pixel 3a-series since there's no difference between the Pixel 3 and 3a's main camera but the front-facing shooters are largely...

Posted: 01 Jun 2019 08:00 AM PDT

According to reliable industry tipster Ice universe, the Galaxy Note10 will retain the physical buttons like previous models.

Posted: 01 Jun 2019 04:00 AM PDT

Micron was probably the last company standing following the US trade ban imposed on Huawei, but it's forced to cut ties with the Chinese giant to comply with the US Department of Commerce order, after all.

Moreover, Micron sent letters to its partners asking them not to sell directly or indirectly modules containing Micron chips. We are talking SSDs, memory cards, flash storages, etc. Unfortunately for Micron, this will hurt them more...

Samsung made the Galaxy A70 official in March and the Galaxy A80 in April, but while the former has already gone on sale in some markets, including India, the A80 with the unique rotating pop-up camera is still nowhere to be found in stores. That may change very soon. The Korean company is apparently going to hold some exclusive preview events of the Galaxy A80 for interested customers in India next week.

There won't be a Moto Z4 Force or Moto Z4 Play

Posted: 31 May 2019 02:30 PM PDT

Motorola has officially confirmed that the Moto Z4 is the only Moto Z device that will be available this year. That means there won't be a Z4 Play, or a Z4 Force. The former is more surprising, because last year we did get a Moto Z3 Play alongside the Z3, but the latter was pretty much expected, since there was no Z3 Force in 2018 either. The last Force-branded Moto was the Z2 from 2017. Motorola is thus simplifying its lineup, which is probably a good thing overall, despite how it might make die-hard fans of the Force or Play editions feel. For now, it looks like Motorola is content to...

OnePlus 7 hands-on review

Posted: 31 May 2019 01:00 PM PDT

After a staggered start, the OnePlus 7 is finally off the marks and available alongside its more expensive sibling, the OnePlus 7 Pro. The easiest way to think of the OnePlus 7 is to imagine the OnePlus 6T but supercharged with a few bits and pieces from the 7 Pro. The design is largely unchanged from the OnePlus 6T. From the front, the only noticeable difference is the speaker grille for the earpiece, which is almost three times as wide on the OnePlus 7 since it now houses a more powerful speaker for the stereo setup. The more noticeable difference is on the back. The camera module...
