Samsung Galaxy S21 gets certified on 3C with 25W charging

Posted: 16 Oct 2020 02:35 AM PDT

With the Note20 lineup already globally available Samsung is now focusing on its next big thing - the Galaxy S21 lineup. The company has acquired 3C's approval for a phone with the model number SM-G9910 which is likely the vanilla Galaxy S21. The listing reveals 25W charging, matching the Galaxy S20's capabilities. We are pretty sure this is the smallest Galaxy S21 because of the model number - the Galaxy S20 arrived with SM-G981X model codes. The last symbol, in this case the digit 0, indicates the market where a certain device is heading to. Sadly, the listing does not say...

Posted: 16 Oct 2020 01:44 AM PDT

Huawei unveiled the nova 7 SE back in April with a Kirin 820 chipset and 5G support, but US trade sanctions forced its discontinuation.

Except for a different chipset, the nova 7 SE 5G Youth has the same internals as the Kirin 820-powered version, meaning you get a 6.5 FullHD+ LCD, Android 10-based EMUI 10.1, and a 4,000 mAh battery that draws power through a USB-C port at up to 40W. The nova 7 SE 5G Youth comes with a total of five cameras - a 16MP selfie shooter on...

Posted: 16 Oct 2020 12:55 AM PDT

The latest addition to Google Search for mobile can understand your humming, whistling and singing to identify songs. Hum to search is triggered when you ask Google "what is this song?" and then proceed to perform bits of the tune to your best abilities. After you're done, Google will present you actual songs based on a percentage match score which it thinks comes closest to your performance. Google says its machine learning algorithms transforms the audio input into a number-based sequence which it then matches to other song melodies and tries to find the closest one. The model was...

Apple iPhone 12 rumors: what was right and what we missed

Posted: 15 Oct 2020 10:16 PM PDT

Smartphone leaks and rumors have become a much larger business than it has been in the past, say 10 years. One company that we've seen be the victim of fake rumors the most has got to be Apple, but that's changed in the past couple of years or so. With this article, we thought it'd be fun to go back and see which rumors about the iPhone 12 models were right (spoiler: many of them were) and which ones were completely off the mark. Starting in 2017, Apple would announce three new iPhone models every year. This year, however, a report from back in May corroborated the fact that Apple...

Posted: 15 Oct 2020 06:05 PM PDT

Verizon simply loves to stick the "UW" suffix onto names of phones that support its mmWave high-band 5G network, and this time is no different. Ladies and gentlemen, meet the Motorola One 5G UW. Just as the name implies, this is Verizon's version of the Motorola One 5G that first got official last month. And yes, it has mmWave support.

Posted: 15 Oct 2020 02:31 PM PDT

The biggest phone announcement of the week, month and arguably the whole year is behind us with the iPhone 12 series already official. As Apple has a tendency to not reveal some specs of its phones (specifically RAM and battery capacity) we have to wait for the first benchmark results to get the actual values. These also help gauge the performance of the new chipset. Well, Geekbench is now populated with multiple listings for the new iPhones which give us the RAM capacity and also show us just what the A14 Bionic chipset is capable of in a synthetic benchmarking environment. Back when...

Sony has finally revealed what the user interface of the PlayStation 5 console will look like in a new 11-minute video. Without further ado, here's the full video.

Belkin releases MagSafe-compatible 3-in-1 wireless charger and car vent mount

Posted: 15 Oct 2020 11:20 AM PDT

Predictably, mobile accessory makers jumped on the MagSafe bandwagon to offer a variety of products that use Apple's new wireless charging magnetic attachment system.

OmniVision unveils 64MP sensor with 1.0µm pixels

Posted: 15 Oct 2020 10:12 AM PDT

Back in February OmniVision unveiled a 64 MP 1/1.7" sensor, which had 0.8 µm pixels. Now the company has come up with a larger 64MP solution – this one measures 1/1.34" and has 1.0µm pixels. This sensor can be used in wide and ultrawide cameas. The larger pixels on the new OmniVision OV64A are 60% more sensitive to light compared to 0.8µm pixels, says the company, which makes the sensor superior in low light. Naturally, it has a 4-cell color filter (aka Quad Bayer) for pixel binning. While it can output 8K video at 30fps, a more interesting mode is 4K with 4-in-1 binning, resulting in...

Canon announces EOS M50 Mark II with minor improvements

Posted: 15 Oct 2020 09:18 AM PDT

Canon has launched the EOS M50 Mark II, an update of its EOS M50 mirrorless camera from two years ago. The update is relatively minor for a two year old body and largely focuses on two things. The first change is the addition of eye tracking autofocus for stills and videos. This will allow the existing Dual Pixel autofocus system to track subjects and lock focus more accurately than on the previous model. The other change is the option to record vertical videos. As sacrilegious as it might sound, a lot of people record vertical videos these days for social media, especially...
