Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra in for review

Posted: 28 Aug 2020 08:17 AM PDT

This is how tech companies flex in front of their peers – the Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra is outstanding in several categories, it feels designed to impress. Unfortunately, this commemorative edition phone (which celebrates Xiaomi turning 10 years old) will not be available outside of China, meaning that for most of the world it's something to gawk at but never touch. We did receive a review unit, so (if you don't mind) we'll now tell you what you're missing out on. We'll start with the charging as this is the first 100+ Watt phone that we've handled – indeed, it is the first on the market (beating...

Posted: 28 Aug 2020 07:04 AM PDT

The Samsung Galaxy Note20 duo is now on open sale and it's time for some numbers. The Korean tech giant's UK arm has summed up the pre-order campaign and the numbers look great. Compared to the Galaxy Note10, the Note20 lineup sold 49% more units during the pre-order phase with the hero Mystic Bronze color accounting for about 46% of those. However, Samsung doesn't say how these sales are distributed between the Note20 and the Note20 Ultra 5G. Numbers from China indicated that the more premium offering is outselling the vanilla model 10:1, although those were based on a very small...

Samsung Galaxy S20 FE and S20 FE 5G mentioned on Samsung.com

Posted: 28 Aug 2020 04:42 AM PDT

The Samsung Galaxy S20 FE will receive four months of YouTube Premium – but that's not the important part, the interesting bit is that this info comes from the official Samsung.com site. Better yet, it mentions both the Galaxy S20 FE and Galaxy S20 FE 5G. This means that there will be an LTE version in some markets – it's not clear if it will overlap with the markets that get the 5G model, but if it does, the 4G version will cost less. Also note that Samsung officially calls this phone the "FE" rather than "Fan Edition" (even though that's what the letters stand for). Anyway,...

The screen of the Axon 20 5G consists of seven layers - the protective glass, a polarizer, touch panel, an encapsulation glass, the OLED panel,...

Xiaomi demoes its third-generation solution for under-display front camera

Posted: 27 Aug 2020 11:59 PM PDT

Selfie cameras have always been the biggest hurdle in the pursuit of the all-screen-front of smartphones. Bezels got thinner and thinner until they transformed into notches that eventually evolved into punch holes. The logical next step is an under-display front-facing snapper and ZTE is expected to introduce a working smartphone with the technology next Tuesday, September 1. This is a huge motivator for other companies, and Xiaomi has revealed it is also joining the race. A company VP shared on his Weibo profile that their third-generation solution is finally ready for mass production, as...

Oppo patents slider phone with extendable display

Posted: 27 Aug 2020 11:10 PM PDT

According to the latest smartphone patent from Oppo, a new smartphone design has come about. This design is reminiscent of the classic slider phone: a mobile device with a display that can be slip up along a track to reveal either a larger display or a set of buttons underneath. The latest patent marries the slider to a modern touchscreen smartphone. Rather than a smartphone that folds closed like the Galaxy Z Flip, the Oppo patent (filed back on February 27 2020) shows a smartphone with a square-size display. Upon pulling the display up, the screen gets longer and taller into an "open"...

Certification mentioning a OnePlus smartwatch surfaces

Posted: 27 Aug 2020 09:11 PM PDT

Rumors of OnePlus working on a smartwatch aren't very recent. In fact, OnePlus founder Carl Pei tweeted in June 2016 (over four years ago) sketches of a OnePlus smartwatch that never came into fruition. This watch was intended to be released between the launches of the OnePlus 2 and OnePlus 3. That watch would have features a round form factor with interchangeable bands and bezels. What could have been but never will be.

Posted: 27 Aug 2020 07:59 PM PDT

Sony is expected to announce the Xperia 5 II at an online event on September 17.

Recently we saw the first leaked render showing the Xperia 5 II, and today more of these have been outed, alongside a substantial list of its specs. The phone is said to sport a 6.1-inch FHD+ OLED display with 21:9 aspect ratio, 120 Hz refresh rate, and 240 Hz touch sampling rate. At the helm we find the Snapdragon 865 chipset (the vanilla, non-Plus...

Redmi 9A tipped to come to India soon rebadged to Redmi 9i

Posted: 27 Aug 2020 05:43 PM PDT

Redmi brought over the Redmi 9C to India as the Redmi 9 earlier today. Before that, we saw the Redmi 9 Prime debut - that one was based on the global Redmi 9. This leaves the Redmi 9A as the only Redmi 9 variant yet to grace India and according to a new tip from Ishan Agarwal, we'll see it as the Redmi 9i. Redmi 9A Yes, that's Xiaomi's increasingly convoluted naming scheme in play but it makes sense given the previous rebadged Redmi 9 models. There's still no exact word on the launch date and pricing of the device but according to the Redmi 9i might come with a slightly higher price...

Future AirPods might drop the force detection sensors for touch sensors

Posted: 27 Aug 2020 04:31 PM PDT

According to a series of filed patents, Apple's future AirPods could come with simple touch sensors instead of force detection for control. The documents reason that this would provide an improved control with a wider variety of gestures. For example, the touch sensors will be able to recognize gestures like swipes for volume control. No more squeezing or strong taps to control your music or answering calls. The simple touch sensors work in a totally different way. The touch sensor will cover the better part of the exterior of the AirPod and it looks for "change in capacitance." ...

Posted: 27 Aug 2020 12:47 PM PDT

Samsung India just shared a teaser of its upcoming midranger, the Galaxy M51.
