OnePlus 8 limited edition cases by artist Andre surface a day early

Posted: 13 Apr 2020 06:41 AM PDT

OnePlus partnered with artist André to design limited edition cases for the upcoming OnePlus 8 phones. The company's official teaser only showed the Mr. A character (André's famous creation), but not what the final product will look like. Well, unofficially, here's a peek. These are for the OnePlus 8 specifically. The company hasn't made it clear if the Pro model will get similar cases or not (it probably will). In fact, the OnePlus teaser talked about "accessories", which suggested that there will be more than just cases, so maybe this leak is just the tip of the iceberg. OnePlus x...

It retains the 90Hz refresh rate screen and 65W wired charging of its predecessor - the Reno Ace but brings the latest Snapdragon 865 chipset, 5G connectivity and the fastest wireless charging around at 40W thanks to the brand new AirVOOC charger.

Samsung is reportedly considering large sensors (up to 1/2") and OIS for Galaxy S21 selfie cams

Posted: 13 Apr 2020 04:51 AM PDT

An under display module is one of the possibilities that Samsung is considering for the Galaxy S21 selfie camera. A new rumor suggests a more traditional approach that instead focuses on greatly-enhanced image quality - a larger sensor and potentially optical image stabilization (OIS). The rumor states that two options are being evaluated. The first is a large 1/2" sensor with OIS. That's much larger than what the Galaxy S20 and S20+ have (1/3.2") and larger than even S20 Ultra's 40MP sensor (1/2.65"). The other option will feature OIS but will use a smaller 1/2.55" sensor. "Smaller" is...

Week 15 in review: New Galaxy A phone debut as OnePlus 8 lineup dominates headlines

Posted: 12 Apr 2020 02:22 PM PDT

Despite the still ongoing global crisis, last week was rather busy in the tech realm. Samsung brought the Galaxy A71 5G and A21 as the latest addition to the 2020 Galaxy A lineup. TCL also took the wrapping off of its 10 series of phones, featuring an affordable 5G phone. The trend is pretty clear and hardly unexpected.

Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro 5G in for review

Posted: 12 Apr 2020 08:55 AM PDT

The Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro 5G has arrived at HQ and we've got some impressions to share. But first, an unboxing. Our unit came with a USB cable and a 65W charger - no other accessories whatsoever. Right off the bat, the Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro 5G strikes us with its great feel in the hand. Its rear has a matte, almost satin-like finish that is somewhat slippery but lovely to the touch. The phone is substantial at over 200g which you either won't care about or hate, depending on how you normally carry your phone. It makes up for that weight with a quality 6.67-inch Super AMOLED screen of...
