Posted: 25 Jun 2020 07:33 AM PDT

OnePlus was founded in mid-December 2013 and had its first phone out in April 2014. The company is trying to pull off something similar for its "new beginnings" project - the OnePlus Z/Nord. Pete Lau, Carl Pei and company are working on a side project too, a documentary on how they built the new phone. A trailer for the documentary was published today, the premiere is set for June 30, just before the July launch of the phone (whose name is kept under wraps but hinted at with various teasers and puns). The trailer has a hook - the team working on the project had only 6 months to get it...

Samsung Galaxy S20 Lite tipped to launch in October

Posted: 25 Jun 2020 06:40 AM PDT

Two weeks ago we came across a report which speculated that Samsung is planning a Galaxy S20 Lite. Now, South Korean news outlet ETNews suggests the affordable member of the S20 line will be released in October. The actual naming of the device is still not confirmed with the new report referring to it as the "Galaxy S20 Pen Edition" which would suggest an S-Pen stylus and closer ties to the Galaxy Note series. Other speculations suggest the phone might be called the "S20 Fan Edition" or simply the S20 Lite. According to previous information, the phone will come with Samsung's One UI 2.5...

Amazfit GTR and GTS get daytime nap tracking with the latest update

Posted: 25 Jun 2020 05:51 AM PDT

A new update has just arrived to some Amazfit GTR and GTS units. The software version for the GTR is 1.3.5.77 while the GTS gets 0.0.9.12. Both versions of the software, however, carry the same new feature - support for naps over 20 minutes. This shouldn't be mistaken for the regular sleep tracking - that's something these watches were capable before the update. But some people like to take naps during the day and sometimes they are more than 20 minutes. That's why Amazfit wanted to give you a little bit more insight into how you sleep during the day. There's nothing new according...

Samsung Galaxy Fold 2 render shows punch-hole design

Posted: 25 Jun 2020 04:13 AM PDT

Another spicy leak from the famous Ice Universe reveals the unfolded design of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Fold 2. The image below is what Samsung's future foldable phone should look like from the front and it departs from the Galaxy Fold's original design. The notch cutout has been replaced by a less obtrusive punch-hole near the upper-right corner of the display. And even though the cutout on the current Galaxy Fold is off center, this camera hole may trigger some OCD for someone looking for symmetry. Then again, this could have been a practical-related decision rather than a design...

This image was shared by reliable leakster Evan Blass and it corroborates the previous design leaks.

Realme X3 goes official with 12MP telephoto camera, Snapdragon 855+ chipset

Posted: 25 Jun 2020 12:56 AM PDT

After introducing the X3 SuperZoom last month, now Realme followed it up with the vanilla X3. As the name suggests, the X3 lacks the periscope module found on the SuperZoom and opts for a conventional 12MP telephoto camera instead. Another difference comes in the selfie camera department where the X3 packs a 16MP primary shooter and an 8MP ultrawide snapper in a similar-looking a pill-shaped cutout. Apart from the camera differences and storage configurations, the X3 is identical to the SuperZoom. Upfront we have a 6.6-inch FHD+ IPS LCD with a 120Hz refresh rate and the dual...

Hot take: iOS 14

Posted: 24 Jun 2020 07:00 PM PDT

Chief among these was the iOS 14 announcement, where Apple discussed a ton of new features that are going to find their way onto millions of iPhones come September. After having watched the keynote and going through everything new in this update, it's hard not to think of iOS 14 as one of the most influential updates that the platform has received in recent years and one that will matter to a lot of people going forward, especially those on the...

vivo X50 Pro with gimbal OIS arrives in global markets next month

Posted: 24 Jun 2020 04:22 PM PDT

At the beginning of this month, vivo unveiled its latest smartphone innovation: a gimbal optical image stabilization system, which the vivo X50 Pro uses for its main camera sensor instead of a traditional OIS system. The X50 Pro was joined in the spotlight by the vanilla X50 and the X50 Pro+ (although confusingly the latter drops the gimbal-like stabilization despite its name implying it's a step up in all areas compared to the Pro). That announcement was in China, for the Chinese market, but if you were patiently waiting to hear about a global release, here's some good news for you....

Galaxy M51 will only make it to India in September

Posted: 24 Jun 2020 02:05 PM PDT

Fans of Samsung's Galaxy M series in India will unfortunately have to wait until September to see what's shaping up to be the most powerful device to ever appear with M branding - namely the Galaxy M51. This comes from a new report supposedly based on info from industry sources. The launch in the subcontinent has been delayed to September because of production issues at Samsung's factories. The M51 may surface elsewhere before September, although that's not very likely, seeing as how the M series devices are usually either exclusive to India or launch there first. The handset is...

The video below demonstrates this in action. Make sure you watch it in fullscreen so you see the...

Realme C11 gets benchmarked and unboxed before its official announcement

Posted: 24 Jun 2020 10:29 AM PDT

The Realme C11 (model name RMX2185) ran Geekbench, which gives us an opportunity to learn more about the MediaTek Helio G35 chipset. Also, someone from the Realfans Vietnam Facebook group posted an unboxing of the new gaming-oriented phone. Geekbench reports the motherboard as "oppo6765", which isn't very helpful. However, comparing it to the RMX2027, aka Realme C3 with the Helio G70 chipset, makes it clear that the G35 won't be fastest chip around. JRGRAPH_EXPANDABLE_VERSION = false; GeekBench 4.4 (single-core) Higher is better Realme C3 1812 Realme C11 ...

Multiple iPhone users running the first developer beta of iOS 14 are reporting that they are now seeing their YouTube video resolution going all the way up to 2160p or 4K.
