Sony working on a hexa camera smartphone

Posted: 11 Jun 2019 06:45 AM PDT

The penta camera-toting Nokia 9 PureView currently holds the record for the highest number of rear cameras on a smartphone. However, it seems it won't retain this crown long as Japanese tech giant Sony is reportedly working on an Xperia smartphone with six snappers at the back. Concept Render It's currently unclear what kind of functionality this camera system will provide. Wide-angle, telephoto, and ToF along with a main snapper could account for four of those, but about those other two?

Google Assistant finally works in Waze

The rollout is limited for now, hopefully it will expand soon, but Google isn't sharing any details about that yet. You can ask the Assistant to report traffic or potholes or crashes or whatever else you may come across on your...

Google Pixel 4 supposedly showcased in oddly dark renders

Posted: 10 Jun 2019 02:45 PM PDT

A few hours ago we showed you some hands-on images of a phone that was alleged to be the upcoming Google Pixel 4. It had a familiar look, but with two rear cameras in the top left corner, and two selfie shooters in the top right corner of the screen - yes, it looks like Google is going with the (in)famous punch-hole tech this year. Now we have a couple of new renders of the Pixel 4, except these don't look anything like any of the previous leaks. In fact, they much more closely resemble Apple's oft-leaked design change for this year's iPhones, with a huge square camera island on the back,...
