First vivo NEX 3s 5G teaser video focuses on the waterfall display

Posted: 05 Mar 2020 08:17 AM PST

The vivo NEX 3 5G will get a mid-season upgrade next week - the vivo NEX 3s 5G. The Google Play Console leaked some key specs showing that the "s" model will go up to a Snapdragon 865 chipset from 855+. However, vivo's first teaser for the phone focuses on the screen instead - or the "unbounded waterfall screen", as the marketing materials call it. It appears to be the same 6.89" Super AMOLED panel from the NEX 3 5G whose sides curve 80° before reaching the barely-visible metal frame.

Moto G8 unveiled with 720p+ display, new triple camera and larger battery

Posted: 05 Mar 2020 06:44 AM PST

The Moto G8 family just gained another member - and it's the Moto G8 that arrives fashionably late to the gathering. Following the launch of the Play, Plus and Power we finally get the vanilla model. Last year, the G7 struck a fine balance between cost and capabilities, but the 2020 successor alters the formula significantly. The 6.4" display with 720p+ resolution marks a noticeable drop in pixel density (the G7 had a 6.2" 1080p+ display). The selfie camera still has an 8MP sensor (1.12µm pixels), but it's now inside a punch hole instead of a teardrop notch. Moto G8 in Capri...

Posted: 04 Mar 2020 02:13 PM PST

Our Galaxy S20 Ultra review has been up for a few days, but we're continually discovering new things about the phone and its camera prowess. The latest addition to the list of things that are easier to slip under most radars is low-light video recording. Motivated by our quest to find areas where the Ultra is better than the Note10s in hopes of justifying the new phone's price tag, we figured the big-sensor advantage across all cams must give it an edge at night. And let's just say from the get-go - the Ultra's low-light footage is mightily impressive. As a warm-up before the...
