Turboant X7 electric scooter review

Posted: 08 Dec 2019 04:56 AM PST

Introduction An electric scooter review? Well, yes. If it wasn't painfully obvious from our content already, we are major geeks here at the GSMArena office and we don't really discriminate in that passion of ours either. From servers, cameras, drones to cars and even appliances, chances are you can easily find at least one expert in the team. And when it comes to electric scooters, we kind of have an entire team going with around 7 different electric scooters owned and scrutinized, maintained and modded on a daily basis.

Weekly poll: can Motorola One Hyper's 64MP camera and 45W charging carry it to victory?

Posted: 08 Dec 2019 02:00 AM PST

Motorola's One series of phones is now focused on delivering interesting cameras rather than an Android One experience. The newest member of the family, the Motorola One Hyper, brings Moto's first 64MP sensor and its first pop-up selfie camera. The pop-up houses a 32MP sensor, topping previous 25MP selfie cams in the Motorola range. This is a Quad Bayer sensor, which enables the Night Vision feature to shoot brighter images in the dark. Flipping around the back, the 64MP camera also has a Quad Bayer sensor and Laser AF assistance. There's no OIS and judging by the One Zoom, the...

Weekly poll results: the Honor V30 Pro is a winner, its sibling not so much

Posted: 07 Dec 2019 10:30 PM PST

The Honor V30 Pro may have what it takes to compete in the big leagues - last week's poll shows that our readers are cautiously optimistic about the new flagship. Cautiously, because they want to check out the reviews first, before parting with their money (always a smart thing). There are some lingering questions - for example, the LCD screen was seen as a "pro" by some and as a "con" by others. We guess it will come down to whether Honor managed to secure a good quality panel. There was also talk about the camera - while Mate 30 Pro's 40MP ultrawide camera is missing, V30's ultrawide...

Flashback: Nokia N9 was ahead of everyone but went nowhere

Posted: 07 Dec 2019 06:30 PM PST

Nokia's Symbian phones are often seen as the big victim of the Nokia-Microsoft alliance, but the truth is that the old OS was dying already. There was a promising new OS on the horizon poised to replace it, unfortunately it powered only one phone in its short existence - Nokia N9. Development of Symbian and Linux-based OSes was scrapped so that the company could focus on its upcoming Lumia line (powered by Microsoft's Windows Phone OS). This was quite unexpected as MeeGo, N9's operating system, had two giants backing it. The family tree is complicated, but the simple way to describe it...

Google Glass Explorer Edition gets final software update and that's the end of it

Posted: 07 Dec 2019 12:40 PM PST

Google Glass Explorer Edition has been living on life support since the company stopped producing the super-expensive sci-fi-looking wearable in 2015, barely getting any updates. Unsurprisingly then, Google is now going to be pulling the plug entirely this coming February. The last software update that's just been released is in preparation for that. This final update needs to be installed manually (Google provides detailed instructions) and removes the Glass' connection to backend services as well as the ability of the device to use your Google account - so no Gmail, YouTube and such on...

The Nokia 2.3 that got announced a couple of days ago is already up for preorder, starting with Russia. Listed at the local Nokia website, the phone has its price set at RUB 7,990, or the equivalent of $125. You get to choose between all three color schemes - Cyan Green, Sand, and Charcoal.

The Nokia 2.3 is an unassuming basic handset with a 6.2-inch 720p LCD, a Mediatek Helio A22 chipset and a 13MP main camera with a...
