Posted: 17 Jul 2020 07:52 AM PDT

Xiaomi introduced a Redmi Band back in April that has a USB-A port for a direct charge, while sharing many of its features with the Mi Band 4. Now, the wearable has escaped China and overseas market number one is Taiwan, where it will sell as Xiaomi Mi Band 4C. The Xiaomi Mi Band 4C actually has some advantages over the Mi Band 4, despite being cheaper. We are looking at a bigger OLED screen and no extra cables or chargers due to the integrated USB-A port. The battery is supposed to live 14 days, instead of the promised 20 for the regular 4, but it is still a decent endurance on a...

Posted: 17 Jul 2020 03:43 AM PDT

Popular tech trade show IFA that's held in Berlin, Germany every year at the start of September will not go ahead as normal this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Posted: 16 Jul 2020 08:38 PM PDT

Facebook has added yet another new feature to Messenger in its quest to make the app the Zoom for most people - so to speak. We're talking, of course, about screen sharing.

Unannounced Moto E7 gets listed by Canadian carrier

Posted: 16 Jul 2020 06:23 PM PDT

Just yesterday the upcoming Moto E7 got leaked in some hands-on live images, and today a Canadian carrier has put up a listing for the phone on its website. We're talking about Freedom Mobile, and the company says you'll be able to buy the handset for CAD 189, which currently translates into $139 or €122. When considering the pricing, keep in mind that smartphones do tend to cost a bit more in Canada than in the US, so in the end the E7 may be even cheaper past the border. The carrier listing confirms that the phone has a 3,550 mAh battery, and comes with 2GB of RAM and 32GB of...

Posted: 16 Jul 2020 04:09 PM PDT

T-Mobile announced the company's first "Un-carrier" move with Mike Sievert as the company's new CEO. Un-carrier is what T-Mobile called itself back when it was making aggressive ad campaigns against its competitors by solving common customer pain-points and you can say that spam calls are as bad as ever. T-Mobile announces Scam Shield, which is a new app coming to Android and iOS. This will give customers more control over which calls are blocked, and T-Mobile can automatically begin blocking suspected spam calls. Basically, any number that isn't "verified" by T-Mobile could be a scam...

Hands-on with Cinema Pro app on the Sony Xperia 1 II: Cinematic 4K

Posted: 16 Jul 2020 01:24 PM PDT

Last year on the Xperia 1 Sony introduced the Cinema Pro app - a fairly advanced if a somewhat flawed app for capturing video. It complements the full-auto video recording capabilities of the main camera app on the smartphone and offers more nuanced control over the shooting process. We tested it back then and you can read our findings and watch a sample video shot on the Xperia 1 here. The Xperia 1 II we got to review recently comes with an updated version of the Cinema Pro app and we were interested to see if Sony had addressed the issues we encountered last time around so we went out...

OnePlus Nord pre-orders are over – there were three stages over the last few weeks, the third of which was yesterday. Each stage offered only a limited number of phones and those ran out pretty quickly, especially considering that the company hasn't actually fully unveiled the phone yet.
