Posted: 27 Jun 2020 08:10 AM PDT

OnePlus entered the smart TV segment last September with its Q1 series which includes two models - Q1 and Q1 Pro. These TVs are a bit on the higher end of the price spectrum but the company is set to bring more affordable TVs on July 2. OnePlus has confirmed a few features of its new TV series and today the company revealed the lineup will include three models. OnePlus didn't reveal the screen sizes of these models but earlier this month two TVs with a diagonal of 32" and 43" got certified, and we assume the third one might pack a 55" screen - the same size as the Q1 series.

Posted: 26 Jun 2020 10:00 PM PDT

On Friday, a few live images of the Oppo Watch have surfaced thanks to the FCC. The Oppo Watch appears here with model number OW19W12.

Posted: 26 Jun 2020 07:55 PM PDT

DxOMark has just released its review of the iPhone SE's main and selfie cameras. The iPhone SE has camera hardware identical to that of the iPhone XR. It's a 12MP sensor with f/1.8 aperture, phase-detection autofocus, OIS, and up to 5X digital zoom. In today's standards, it's a very basic setup.

Apple's automatic HDR is to thank for that. It works well for both indoor and outdoor images, and managed to expose darks and shadows...
