| Qualcomm tries to persuade the US government to let it sell chips to Huawei Posted: 10 Aug 2020 07:16 AM PDT  With Huawei's sanctions from the US government in place, the company can't make chips of its own so it's forced to source its SoCs from other makers, such as MediaTek, Samsung and Qualcomm. Even Huawei said that the Mate 40-series might be the last smartphones to run on an in-house Kirin chipset. That's why Qualcomm sees this as an opportunity to start lobbying the US government so it would let it make chips for Huawei. In its presentation, Qualcomm says that Huawei will ultimately be able to source its hardware to make 5G phones in the near future and in doing so, it might seek... |
| Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra in white poses for the camera, alleged pricing leaks Posted: 10 Aug 2020 06:25 AM PDT  A few days ago it was made clear that Xiaomi is going with the Mi 10 Ultra moniker instead of the previously rumored Mi 10 Pro Plus. A couple of leaked promo posters revealed the back design of the phone but a more recent live image is here to give us a closer look at how the handset will look in person. The white back panel isn't just plain white. It has a subtle pearl-like gradient while the close-up shot of the camera module confirms the 120x zoom, the quad-camera array and the overall design of the camera stack. The pricing of the Mi 10 Pro Ultra has leaked as well from the... |
| Xiaomi CEO: Mi MIX line and Surge chips put on hold but will make a return someday Posted: 10 Aug 2020 05:39 AM PDT  Lei Jun, CEO of Xiaomi, took to Weibo to answer a few frequently asked fan questions. These include details on the Mi Mix line's future and the Mi Mix Alpha in particular as well as Xiaomi's plans for its in-house Surge chipsets. According to Jun's statement, the Mi Mix line is currently put on hold as it bears high expectations as Xiaomi's cutting edge line of smartphones. Xiaomi was not confident with how its developments were going so it decided to head back to the drawing board. We do get confirmation that the Mi Mix line will make a return one day but there is no specific... |

The Mate X2 will have the same panel size as the original Mate X, 8.03".

Samsung shows off the new S Pen gestures for navigating the... |

| Week 32 in review: the busiest Galaxy Unpacked event ever Posted: 09 Aug 2020 04:11 PM PDT  Week 32 served us a proper storm of announcements, but none bigger than those at Samsung's Unpacked event. A couple new Note20 phones, a Galaxy Z Fold2 early look, two flagship tablets, a smartwatch and ANC-packing TWS earphones - it was the busiest single event in many a year. Google unveiled its long delayed Pixel 4a mid-ranger, which looks rather dated on paper, but the company has often delivered smartphones that offer experience beyond what their hardware suggests. HMD gave us the Nokia C3 entry level phone, as Realme and Oppo had announcements of their own - the V5 and the K7 5G,... |
| RHA TrueConnect 2 truly wireless earphones review Posted: 09 Aug 2020 04:00 PM PDT  The TrueConnect 2 are the successor to the acclaimed TrueConnect from the Glasgow-based audio brand RHA. The new model may look identical to the previous one but RHA claims several improvements under the hood, including a much longer battery life, better ingress protection, more microphones, redesigned buttons, and more robust connectivity. At $150, the TrueConnect 2 are priced similar to popular offerings from other major brands. This means they need to be competitive with some of the industry heavyweights while also rising above the increasingly common low-priced alternatives... |
| Top 10 trending phones of week 32 Posted: 09 Aug 2020 11:03 AM PDT  The big shifts in our trending chart continue with major announcements by Samsung and the long delayed Google mid-ranger storming the chart. The Galaxy Note20 Ultra is certainly the more interesting member of the newly announced S Pen duo - so much so that its 5G and 4G versions occupied the first two spots. In contrast, the vanilla Note20 didn't even manage to crack the top 10. The Pixel 4a may have underwhelming hardware, but its aggressive price, decent base storage and Google's ability to extract better image quality than the camera hardware suggests helped it secure third... |
