Posted: 16 Oct 2020 03:24 PM PDT

Sony's Xperia 1 II has so far been offered in black and purple, but soon there will be a rather intriguing third color version. The 1 II in Mirror Lake Green is apparently headed to Taiwan, due to be officially unveiled for that market on October 20. The new hue is definitely interesting looking, but looks are not all here. This green Xperia 1 II is also going to up the RAM amount, from the 8GB featured in the other two colors, all the way up to 12GB.

Posted: 16 Oct 2020 01:02 PM PDT

AnTuTu scores suggest iPhone 12 chipset is downclocked, GPU is slower than on the 11-series

Posted: 16 Oct 2020 08:59 AM PDT

Yesterday we saw the first AnTuTu scores from the Apple A14 Bionic inside the iPhone 12 and 12 Pro.

But as far as we know this is not the case with the new Air and the iPhone 12 series, both use the standard Apple A14 chipset. There is an Apple A14X on the way, but that chip is reportedly intended for the new MacBooks. AnTuTu tests...
