Posted: 17 Aug 2019 03:00 AM PDT

The Realme 5 arriving on August 20 passed through Geekbench a few days ago, revealing its key specs such as Snapdragon 665 SoC and 4GB RAM. Now another Realme device, which is likely the Realme 5 Pro, has appeared on Geekbench. The listing reveals some of the specs - Android Pie, Snapdragon 710 SoC and 8GB RAM. The Snapdragon 710 is the same chipset that powers the Realme 3 Pro.

Posted: 17 Aug 2019 01:25 AM PDT

An unknown Redmi smartphone, bearing model number M1908C3IC and said to be the Redmi 8, has appeared on TENAA with its images and full specs. The smartphone is built around a 6.21" display having a resolution of 1520x720 pixels.

Nokia 9 PureView is $200 off once again

Posted: 16 Aug 2019 08:15 PM PDT

Last month during Amazon's huge Prime Day event, the Nokia 9 PureView was selling for just $499.99, $200 off its usual price. The price went back up afterwards, but we're happy to report that it's dropped again, to the same $499.99 level. The deal is live at Amazon, Best Buy, as well as B&H, but it is likely to be a limited-time offer only, so make sure you don't waste any time if you want to take advantage of it. At Best Buy you can even save an additional $50, grabbing the phone for a mere $449.99, if you choose to activate it with AT&T upon purchase. The Nokia 9 PureView is HMD...

Apple Watch Series 5 is coming this fall, analyst claims

Posted: 16 Aug 2019 06:15 PM PDT

Famous analyst of all things Apple Ming-Chi Kuo has published another research note today, and this one is about the Apple Watch Series 5, which is apparently going to launch this fall. That's interesting because so far we haven't seen many leaks about Apple's next-gen wearable. If Kuo is right (and he generally is right more than wrong), then we might see the Watch Series 5 make its debut alongside the iPhone 11 at Apple's big fall event, which could take place on September 10. The Apple Watch Series 5 and its successors will start to use displays from JDI. The Japanese company's panels...

3.3-inch Palm is now available unlocked for $349

Posted: 16 Aug 2019 04:15 PM PDT

TCL revived the long-dead Palm brand last year to launch the minuscule (for this day and age) Palm phone, which has a tiny 3.3" touchscreen and runs Android. Initially this was billed as a companion device to your smartphone when it launched exclusively at Verizon. In the meantime, it became available standalone from Big Red, and back in June Palm started taking pre-orders for an unlocked version. Almost two months later, today that model has finally become available to buy. You'll need to shell out $349 for the privilege of owning possibly the smallest smartphone around. You have Titanium...

Google updates Chrome OS with camera modes of all things

Posted: 16 Aug 2019 08:20 AM PDT

Google announced another update for Chrome OS, and this time it brought some rather unexpected features for Chromebooks and Pixel Slates. Key features include better media navigation between tabs, more photo modes and easier way to clean notifications. Google issues new updates every six weeks, but this one grabbed our attention particularly due to the Portrait Mode and Square Mode. We understand there are some people who take photos with their tablets, including a Pixel Slate, but we simply cannot fathom why would someone use a 12.3" device when a simple smartphone does a much...
