Two new videos of what appears to be the upcoming Pixel 4 XL just surfaced online showing out the brand new display that Google has been working on. The first 11-second clip comes from a Malaysian retailer and shows us that the rumored top bezel is indeed as large as previous leaks showed us. We also get a glimpse of the back with the new square cutout for the dual cameras as well as the sides and bottom. The Pixel 4 and 4XL will feature a brand new face unlock system and Soli motion gestures. In addition, the display on both is rumored to come with a 90Hz refresh rate. In terms of...

Now, the company announced that EE will bring the foldable device to the United Kingdom, starting September 18. It will be also available for customers to experience it at various retail stores. The reborn Galaxy Fold is pretty much the same as the original one, but with a screen cover that goes under the bezel.

This is where these two new models come in - HMD is unveiling two Kai-powered, 4G-connected phones. One is rugged, the other is a flip phone. Nokia 800 Tough This is billed as a spiritual successor to the Nokia 3310, which legends say is indestructible.

Oppo teases phone with upgraded Super VOOC, 4,000mAh battery for later this year

Posted: 05 Sep 2019 07:10 AM PDT

We were quite impressed by the speed of the 50W Super VOOC charging when we tested it, so seeing that Oppo VP Brian Shen is teasing an upgraded version on Weibo made our eyebrows rise. Apparently, the first device with the revamped Super VOOC will come out this year. It will have a 4,000mAh battery and it will need just minutes for a full charge. How many minutes? Well, that's something that will be revealed later. The Oppo Find X Lamborghini pushed its 3,400mAh battery from 0% charge to 93% in just 30 minutes (that's with the 50W charger). There's some speculation about an 80W...

HMD Global's IFA event has started, five new Nokias will be unveiled

Posted: 05 Sep 2019 06:00 AM PDT

We've seen Nokias at IFA before, but this is HMD Global's first time here. It's easy to forget how young the company is sometimes, but it's already winning accolades for the quality of its products. HMD's focus is on Android One smartphones with long software support, but the company still releases affordable feature phones. And phones like the Nokia 8110 4G have been re-imagined as smartphones based on KaiOS (which has a wider app selection than S40 ever did). HMD has taken to Twitter to tease 5 new members of the Nokia family, so likely there will be a mix of Androids and re-imagined...

Sony took the stage at IFA 2019 and introduced its latest smartphone called Xperia 5 - yes, five. It comes with a 6.1" OLED panel with a tall CinemaWide screen, effectively arriving as the compact sibling of the Xperia 1 flagship. The Xperia 5 comes with Snapdragon 855, but sadly, the Five in the name has nothing to do with 5G - Sony coupled the chipset with the regular X24 LTE modem. The new phone borrowed the trio of cameras from the Xperia 1 (12 MP regular + 12 MP ultra-wide-angle + 12 MP telephoto), but now the setup is placed in the upper left corner. With the screen...

The Realme XT will be India's first 64MP quad camera smartphone, but it's essentially the Realme 5 Pro having an AMOLED screen, UD fingerprint scanner, and a back covered with Gorilla Glass 5. We recently published our Realme 5 Pro review and were impressed with the phone. It's priced starting at INR13,999 ($195/€175) and goes all the way up to INR16,999 ($235/€215). It will be interesting to see how the XT will be positioned against it.

Last year at IFA Sony unveiled the Xperia XZ3 and the well-loved WH-1000XM3 headphones that were so often paired with Sony pre-order deals. That goes to say that we have big expectations for today's event - and if you do too, you'll want to watch it live. Given the number of leaks, the Sony Xperia 2 is certain to appear on stage. Sony's teaser leading up to the event hinted at a small phone, which lines up with the rumors. We may see the rebirth of the Xperia Compact series under a new name (which may not be "Xperia 2", according to last-minute leaks). What else can we expect? A pair of...
