It is arguably the best gaming smartphone on paper, packing the first 120Hz OLED display, a mamooth 6,000 mAh battery and an unrivaled set of accessories.

Weekly poll results: Xiaomi Mi A3 gets the cold shoulder

Posted: 28 Jul 2019 03:00 AM PDT

The Mi A3 arrived as this year's Android One phone by Xiaomi. The predecessor Mi A2 was met with great enthusiasm, but it appears the camera focused Xiaomi Mi A3 isn't getting anywhere near the same approval rating. Plenty of you voiced concerns about specs like the HD+ screen and the fact that you can get mightier Xiaomi phones at a similar price. The Xiaomi Mi 9T is a bit above €350, but many of our readers think you better pay up and massively upgrade instead of settle for the Mi A3. Others were saying that the device should be called Mi A3 Lite, as it feels somewhat of a...

Flashback: Project Ara promised easy to upgrade modular phones but never delivered

Posted: 28 Jul 2019 12:00 AM PDT

The IBM PC was unveiled in 1981 and thanks to a strange decision by IBM, it became the granddaddy of most desktop and laptop computers today. Instead of making everything in-house (as with previous IBM projects), the design team decided to outsource as much as possible. This led to an open platform that allowed other companies to build accessories, write software and even build entire "IBM PC Compatibles". Since the PC used an Intel processor (8088) and Microsoft software (PC-DOS and Microsoft BASIC), this was the birth of the "Wintel" behemoth. Mobile phones never really had an "IBM...

ZTE patents a smartphone with dual selfie camera and slider design

Posted: 27 Jul 2019 08:00 PM PDT

Last month ZTE filed a patent for a smartphone with dual punch-hole cameras. And now, this Chinese phone maker has filed another patent for a smartphone rocking a slider design and two selfie cameras. The front glass of the handset itself doesn't house the selfie cameras, as they are revealed when you slide the screen down. Sliding it up uncovers what looks like a speaker grille. Perhaps room for some extra controls? Around the back, the phone has a dual camera setup placed vertically in the upper-left corner, with the flash located right below. There's also an oval-shaped fingerprint...

Samsung Galaxy Buds are getting a new silver color to go with the Note10 family

Posted: 27 Jul 2019 06:00 PM PDT

If you've been around these past few weeks then you have definitely already seen the stunning new "Aura Glow" color of the upcoming Galaxy Note 10+. And what better way to compliment a shiny new phone than a shiny new pair of truly wireless headphones. The Galaxy Buds are already listed on a few of Samsung's regional websites in the new "silver" finish. The color effect appears to be identical to that on the upcoming Note10 and renders probably don't do it justice. Samsung Galaxy Buds in silver Besides the color, though, there seems to be no change in the new Galaxy Buds....

Huawei says the Mate X is still not ready for market

Posted: 27 Jul 2019 02:00 PM PDT

It's been over five months now since the official unveiling of the foldable Huawei Mate X at MWC 2019. And despite not having to go through durability issues and an overblown media scandal like its Samsung Galaxy Fold rival, it is still not released to the public. In fact, as per a recent interview with He Gang, director of Huawei's consumer business mobile phone line, the Mate X sounds about as comparably unfinished to the Galaxy Fold and still some time away from sales. According to He Gang, Huawei is still busy "optimizing/perfecting" the Mate X to meet the company's strict quality...

Leaked vivo iQOO Plus 5G banner reveals pricing and just 44W fast charging

Posted: 27 Jul 2019 10:00 AM PDT

Last month vivo spilled the beans on a few of its interesting ongoing projects and upcoming products. Chief among these was the company's first commercial 5G phone, expected to launch under their iQOO brand as the iQOO 5G. 5G buzz-words aside though, the thing that got most of us excited at said event was the extra info on the company's eagerly-anticipated 120W fast charging technology. Putting two and two together, it really seemed like vivo FlashCharge 120W would make its debut on the iQOO 5G. A freshly leaked banner, however, kind a throws a curve ball our way with its confusing...
