Sony unveils an Xperia 1 II with 12 GB of RAM in limited edition Frosted Black color

Posted: 20 Aug 2020 06:05 AM PDT

Currently, if you want to buy a Sony Xperia 1 II in Japan, you have to go through a carrier – Docomo or au – but that will change on October 30 as Sony is preparing to launch a SIM-free version.

Also, the carrier phones had only 128 GB of storage while the SIM-free one will match the global models with 256 GB. It's not clear if the 12 GB version will be available abroad, however.

Nokia 3.4  spotted at Geekbench with a Snapdragon 460 chipset

Posted: 20 Aug 2020 04:34 AM PDT

We can add a new entry to the list of Marvel-themed codenames for HMD phones – Doctor Strange. Unofficially, this phone is expected to be marketed under the name Nokia 3.4 and it is part of the upcoming ".4" series, which includes the Nokia 2.4 (aka Wolverine). The Nokia 3.4 was spotted in Geekbench results, which list the chipset as "Qualcomm Qualcomm" (that's not very helpful, is it?). but the score matches the vivo Y20 result – a phone that is expected to be equipped with the new Snapdragon 460 chipset. Geekbench 5 results: Nokia 3.4 (Doctro Strange) • Nokia 2.4...

Posted: 20 Aug 2020 03:54 AM PDT

The Asus Zenfone 7 duo has been gaining traction in the rumor mill lately and the leaks keep coming. After we got some spec details through a kernel code yesterday, we are treated to more details about the hardware behind the upcoming phones. Asus Zenfone 7 listing A European retailer has come out with listings for both Zenfone 7 phones bearing the ZS670KS motherboard. We also get two memory configurations with an 8/128GB trim for the Snapdragon 865-powered Zenfone 7 and an 8/256GB one for the Zenfone 7 Pro which will launch with the 865+ SoC. Asus Zenfone 7 Pro...

Samsung Galaxy S20 FE spin animations surface giving a 360° look at the phone

Posted: 20 Aug 2020 03:04 AM PDT

A couple of days ago we saw the Samsung Galaxy S20 Fan Edition renders in six different colors. Today @evleaks adds two 360° spins for a better look at the upcoming flagship. The colors seen in these spins don't quite match up with the ones in the renders, so keep that in mind. The left side of the phone is now completely bare as the volume rocker jumped on the right and the Bixby key was booted – these are changes shared by all 2020 Galaxy flagships. But this phone isn't a 1:1 copy of one of the current S20 models. For one, that triple camera on the back may appear...

Oppo F17 Pro is coming soon as the 'sleekest phone of 2020' under INR25,000

Posted: 20 Aug 2020 02:15 AM PDT

Oppo unveiled the F15 back in January and now the company is set to introduce its successor, dubbed Oppo F17 Pro. Oppo's Indian branch took to Twitter to tease the F17 Pro and posted a short clip that says the F17 Pro is "coming soon". The video also shows us the left side of the phone, which is home to the SIM card slot and volume rocker. We can also see the camera bump that hints at the F17 Pro featuring dual rear cameras, which is actually surprising since the F15 came with quad rear cameras. However, there's also the possibility of the F17 Pro having four snappers on the back...

Samsung is going to introduce a phone called Galaxy M51 any time now, and reports about the device have been pouring in since March. The latest leak says it will come with Snapdragon 730 chipset and mind-blowing battery capacity of 7,000 mAh - the most ever put in a smartphone. Samsung Galaxy M51 renders The leak further claims that the Samsung Galaxy M51 will arrive with a 64 MP main camera, while the front will have a flat 6.67" panel with Full HD+ resolution. A phone with the model number SM-M515F said to be the Galaxy M51, already appeared on Geekbench with 8 GB RAM, as well...

Huawei Mate40 Pro display glass points to smaller punch hole

Posted: 20 Aug 2020 12:37 AM PDT

We've already seen renders of Huawei's upcoming Mate40 Pro which showed us it will come with a dual punch hole notch like the P40 series. The cut out appeared to be smaller in size and now we have a leaked image of the phone's display glass which shows it's indeed shrunken in size compared to the P40 Pro. We can also see the display will retain its curved "waterfall" design like on the Mate30 Pro. According to the new leak, the top and bottom of the panel will also feature a curvature though not as pronounced as on the P40 Pro. Elsewhere, the Mate40 Pro is expected to carry the 5nm...

Huawei to bring Enjoy 20 Plus with Mediatek chipset rather than Kirin 820

Posted: 19 Aug 2020 11:49 PM PDT

The Huawei Enjoy 20 Pro is already official and we expect at least two more phones to join the line - Huawei Enjoy 20 and Huawei Enjoy 20 Plus. The latter was reported to have Kirin 820 chipset, among other specs, but a reliable leakster on Weibo says the company is going to switch its in-house platform for a 5G chipset by Mediatek. There is no explanation why the switch might happen but given the recent troubles Huawei is having with its chipset arm, it is not surprising it wants to limit its in-house products for more valuable devices and not a China-only lineup - after all the Enjoy...

Posted: 19 Aug 2020 10:11 PM PDT

The Moto G 5G Plus was the company's first affordable smartphone with a price point of under $400. Reports suggest that the G 5G Plus will arrive with different names in other markets.

Posted: 19 Aug 2020 05:22 PM PDT

On Wednesday, Apple briefly surpassed the $2 trillion mark in market cap value. Apple's stock price briefly rose to $467.77 and shares closed today with $462.83 with a market cap of $1.98 trillion. Apple has had a highly successful year despite the pandemic, fueled by a sudden need for tech during a time when many had to transition to working from home. Following a 15% decline in iPhone sales during the holiday season quarter, the company has remarkably recovered in 2020. In July, the company reported a strong quarter with $59.7 billion in revenue and significant growth in its...

Xiaomi explains how it achieved 50 W wireless charging - 4,500 mAh fully charged in 40 minutes

Posted: 19 Aug 2020 03:15 PM PDT

The Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra stunned with its 120 W wired charging support, but the 50 W wireless charging capability surpasses what many phones can do with a cable plugged in. Using Xiaomi's revamped charging technology, the phone's 4,500 mAh battery can be filled fully in just 40 minutes. The company posted a lengthy explanation on just how this technology works. The key was to change the layout of the bits between the coil and the battery – the charge pumps (these are DC-DC converters that are used to increase or decrease voltage). Instead of the traditional layout of having two charge...

Asus ROG Phone 3 gets the teardown treatment, there is a massive vapor chamber inside

Posted: 19 Aug 2020 02:15 PM PDT

The Asus ROG Phone 3 is about to play a high-stakes game of teardown – as always, the final boss is Zack from JerryRigEverything. The big question is how much of the design is there just to look cool and how much has an actual function. It turns out that the answer is "more than before". The glass window on the back has a vent to let hot air out (and a mesh to keep dust out). It sits right on top of a fairly chunky metal panel, which soaks up heat from the chipset through a layer of thermal paste. Another interesting element is the tiny board, which powers the RGB LEDs on the back –...

And not just any phones but ones with a hardware keyboard and 5G connectivity. As always, security will be at the core of the design.

ZTE executive Ni Fei has been sharing details about an incoming phone called Axon 20 5G. It will be announced on September 1 with under-display selfie camera and its design has already been revealed by TENAA. Twelve days ahead of the unveiling, the President of Mobile Devices at the Chinese conglomerate has posted an official image of the phone, pretty much confirming what we saw on TENAA - four vertical cameras with the main one being 64 MP, flat front and all the buttons going on the right-hand side.
