Samsung Galaxy Note10+ 5G shows up on 3C with 25W charger

Posted: 29 Jul 2019 06:00 AM PDT

Samsung is looking to release a trio of Galaxy Note10 models - normal, plus sized and a 5G version of the plus. A 3C certification sheet is here to confirm the charging capabilities of the 5G version. The listing mentions a phone with a model number SM-N9760 and a 25W charger that comes along with it. This is the same speed as the Note10+, although that one will be able to reach 45W with an optional faster charger. Odds are the 5G version will be in the same boat, although given its expected higher price tag it's disappointing that you'd still need to pay extra to get the fastest...

Ming-Chi Kuo: All three 2020 iPhones will have 5G

Posted: 29 Jul 2019 03:09 AM PDT

Back in June renown Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo claimed that Apple will equip two of its 2020 iPhones with 5G modems but now he has updated his predictions and says that all three come with support for the next-generation network.

Moreover, by 2020 consumers will...

Xiaomi Mi A3 in for review

Posted: 28 Jul 2019 10:00 AM PDT

Xiaomi's A-series just got a new member, the stock Android lineup welcoming the Mi A3. The phone is somewhat odd, offering a number of upgrades over last year's Mi A2, but also a few downgrades.
