New Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 4G surfaces on Geekbench with Snapdragon 865

Posted: 31 Mar 2021 09:12 AM PDT

When Samsung announced the Galaxy S20 FE last year it gave people a choice – a Snapdragon 865 chipset with the S20 FE 5G model, even in countries that normally get Exynos in their S-series, or an Exynos 990 with the 4G model (which was cheaper). Now it looks like things are about to become a bit blurred. The NBTC certified an SM-G780G / DS, labeled as Galaxy S20 FE, and certified only for 4G operation. There's even a support page for it on Samsung.com (multiple support pages, in fact). That exact model number can be seen in Geekbench with the motherboard listed as "kona". This is the...

More evidence suggests Samsung's upcoming smartwatches will run Wear OS

Posted: 31 Mar 2021 12:22 AM PDT

The first time we heard of Samsung planning to go back to Wear OS-running smartwatches was back in 2018 when some company employees were spotted wearing watches with Google's operating system instead of Tizen. Yet the company stuck with its in-house operating system for all of its smartwatches since. Last month a reliable tipster claimed an Android Watch may finally be coming, and we later saw evidence backing those claims. Now an APK teardown of the latest version of the Galaxy App wearable app suggests that Samsung's next-gen smartwatches will indeed run Google's Wear OS. The source...

See if the Realme 8 Pro bends in this durability test

Posted: 30 Mar 2021 02:58 PM PDT

The Realme 8 Pro is one of only two mid-range smartphones to sport a 108 MP camera, but despite that standout spec that has so far been reserved for more expensive devices, it's still quite affordable.

YouTuber Zach from JerryRigEverything set to find out exactly that, which is why he subjected the Realme 8 Pro to his usual array of tests - scratching it, trying to burn its screen, and finally,...
