| Flashback: weird phones from unexpected brands, part 3 - Coca-Cola, Bic, KFC, Garmin Posted: 31 Jan 2021 06:07 AM PST  In the previous Flashback post we mentioned that Ericsson produced a special Coca-Cola edition phone. And this was years before the Pepsi phone, mind you. But we won't just focus on beverage-branded phones today, instead we'll go for general weirdness. Here are some more weird phones from unexpected brands. The phone with a sweet tooth Launched at the end of 2000, a year after the "unflavored" model became available, the Ericsson A1018s Coca-Cola special edition arrived in the UK. This wasn't available to just anyone, oh no, you had to earn it. And by "earn it" we mean that you had... |
| Weekly poll: what kind of headphones do you use? Posted: 31 Jan 2021 03:03 AM PST  For many, headphones are an inseparable companion to their phone. However, headphones come in all shapes and sizes and we were curious which kind is your favorite. Smartphone makers have been pushing True Wireless (TWS) headsets, but are they really the best option? Over-ear headphones are hard to beat in terms of sound quality. They are also great at keeping distracting noise at bay, even without active noise cancellation. And they have the best battery life to boot. However, their size and weight means they are not the most practical choice for many use... |
| LG Velvet 5G receiving Android 11 stable update Posted: 31 Jan 2021 12:41 AM PST  LG released the Android 11 beta build for the Velvet 5G last month, and it seems the testing has gone smooth as the company has released the stable update of Android 11 for the smartphone. The Android 11 stable build is currently seeding in South Korea for the Velvet 5G - model LM-G900N. The firmware has software version G900N2C and requires a download of around 2.2GB. LG Velvet 5G Android 11 stable update We don't have a complete changelog of the update, but you can expect it to bring redesigned UI and the usual set of Android 11 goodies to the LG Velvet 5G. If you live in... |
| Weekly poll results: the vivo X60 Pro+ is off to a promising start Posted: 30 Jan 2021 10:17 PM PST  Over 70% of people who voted in last week's poll are interested in the vivo X60 Pro+ – that's a very positive result, considering that some recent flagships have struggled to excite would-be buyers. The appeal of the Pro+ is concentrated in the camera and vivo knows it. The ZEISS logo, as small as it is, stands out on the black camera bump and you'll see it on every promotional poster. vivo's posts on social media are focused on promoting the phone's camera prowess as well. Check out these photos of of glow-worms taken in the Ruakuri Cave in New Zealand. The vivo X60 and X60 Pro will... |
| Poco M3 will get a single 6GB RAM variant in India Posted: 30 Jan 2021 07:33 PM PST  The Poco M3 was introduced last November with 4GB RAM and two storage options - 64GB (UFS 2.1) and 128GB (UFS 2.2). However, the smartphone made it to Indonesia last week with a 6GB RAM option in addition to the 4GB variant. The Poco M3 will debut in India on February 2, and going by the wording in one of Poco's recent tweets, it appears the smartphone will come in a single 6GB RAM option in the country. There won't be a 4GB RAM model. More is never enough. Until it comes to our RAM. #POCOM3 arriving with 6GB RAM only in India.Mark the date: 2nd Feb @ 12PM on @Flipkart:... |
| Samsung Galaxy S21+ in for review Posted: 30 Jan 2021 05:11 PM PST  We finally got our hands on the Galaxy S21+ to complete our Galaxy S21 lineup and we've started work on its review. But in the meantime, let's size it up to its peers. Before we get to side-by-sides, here's a short unboxing - you get the phone, a SIM tool and a USB-C to USB-C cable. If you want the recommended 25W charger, you'll need to pay an extra €20 for it. What's in the box and what's not The Galaxy S21+ is the middle-sized option in the Galaxy S21 series. Its display is 0.5 inches bigger than that of the Galaxy S21 and its battery is a 800mAh larger. We can confirm... |
| Xiaomi Mi A3 gets another "brick-free" Android 11 update Posted: 30 Jan 2021 03:00 PM PST  Saying that the Xiaomi Mi A3 has had bad luck with its software updates would honestly be an understatement. Granted, the Chinese giant has historically struggled a bit more on its Android One device software in general, but even by those standard the whopping four attempts it took to bring Android 10 to the Mi A3 are a bit much. They have now been followed-up a no-less-than three Android 11 builds in quick succession. At the very end of last year, Mi A3 users got their first Android 11 OTA, with many quickly reporting that it bricked their devices. That prompted a quick halt in... |
| High quality Galaxy Z Fold3 renders bring all the rumors to life Posted: 30 Jan 2021 01:00 PM PST  Straight off the bat, we don't have any live photos or official images of the next Galaxy Z Fold as of yet. This render is probably the next best thing, though, since Ben Geskin is known for his quality work in the field and does appear to have based his design on most of the leaked information we already have on the alleged Z Fold3. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 render In no particular order, one of the first things that pops-out here is the distinctive camera island design, clearly lifted straight from the Galaxy S21 Ultra. This is actually a pretty fair guess to make, since Samsung... |
