Posted: 02 Apr 2020 03:47 AM PDT

The Honor 30 arriving on April 15 was rumored to pack a 50MP Sony IMX7xx sensor.

Posted: 02 Apr 2020 02:15 AM PDT

Deal: OnePlus 6T can be yours for just $299.99

Posted: 01 Apr 2020 09:00 PM PDT

Who says you can't buy a OnePlus handset for just $299.99 anymore? Definitely not Woot. The Amazon subsidiary is now holding a month-long sale for the OnePlus 6T, during which you can grab a brand new unit for exactly $299.99. You know, as much as the OnePlus One used to cost when it came out and shook the mobile world. Granted, the OnePlus 6T is anything but a recent device, in fact the company has launched a bunch of additional products since its release, but that doesn't make it a bad buy. It already runs Android 10, it's got OxygenOS on top which is among the lightest skins out there,...

Sony launches WF-XB700 earbuds and WH-CH710N noise canceling headphones

Posted: 01 Apr 2020 07:00 PM PDT

Sony has announced two new Bluetooth audio products, the egregiously named WF-XB700 earbuds and the WH-CH710N headphones. The WF-XB700 have an in-ear design and are part of Sony's Extra Bass series of audio products. They have a pretty typical earbud style design, similar to Sony's own flagship WF-1000XM3. The WF-XB700 have a sweat-resistant design with an IPX4 rating but there are no specific fins or loops to secure the earbuds during workouts. Unlike Sony's flagship WF-1000XM3, the WF-XB700 don't have active noise-cancellation. They also don't have gesture support and...

Xiaomi Black Shark 3 Pro teardown reveals unorthodox build and big heatpipes

Posted: 01 Apr 2020 05:00 PM PDT

Arguably the most interesting phones for teardowns are the gaming ones. Even most of the flagship phones these days look almost identical on the inside while gaming handsets require more sophisticated internal design to keep the CPU and GPU up and running at full capacity for longer. Well, the Xiaomi Black Shark 3 Pro is no exception. This beefy gaming device has two thick copper heatpipes connected to the metal shields on top of the SoC itself. But to access them, you have to remove the bow tie-shaped glass sheet on the back of the phone. We haven't seen back designs like this one so...

5G iPhones can still launch on schedule, Foxconn says it's making up for lost time

Posted: 01 Apr 2020 02:13 PM PDT

We've heard it from insiders, but now confirmation comes straight from the horse's mouth - Foxconn officially confirmed that the production of the 5G iPhones is likely to start on schedule for the Fall launch of the new handsets. Foxconn is Apple's primary partner in the manufacturing of iPhones. It had to close its factories for a month due to the COVID-19 outbreak, but has already resumed normal operations. Still, there was worry that this delay might have disrupted the development process. The company is working with Apple's engineers to make up for lost time, says Alex Yang,...

Android 10 and One UI 2.1 hit Samsung Galaxy Fold 5G as well

Posted: 01 Apr 2020 01:32 PM PDT

Samsung's new One UI 2.1 based on Android 10 arrived to Galaxy Fold users last week and now the 5G variant of the handset is also getting it. Sure, it's a pretty big delay for a flagship phone like the Galaxy Fold but we understand that due to the unique form factor, the developers had to overcome some hurdles and optimize the experience for the unique display configuration. And naturally, the special 5G variant probably required some more tweaking because of the 5G modem. The new firmware is F907BXXU3BTC9 and also brings the March security patch. It's a big one too - 2.35GB but...
