Our Redmi Note 10 Pro (Max) video review is up

Posted: 05 Mar 2021 07:32 AM PST

The Redmi Note 10 Pro is the best phone of the series that Xiaomi announced on Thursday, though the naming could have been better. In India fans will find an almost identical phone under the Redmi Note 10 Pro Max name (the key difference is the removal of NFC). Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro The two phones are certainly similar enough that our written review applies to both. The same goes for our video review, which you can watch below. The Note 10 Pro impresses with the value it brings on a modest budget. This €250 phone stands out with its 120 Hz AMOLED display, most phones in its...

Report: Apple to bring 10.9-inch OLED iPad Pro, OLED Macbook Pro next year

Posted: 05 Mar 2021 06:35 AM PST

Apple is looking to bring an OLED iPad Pro to market next year. Per a Digitimes report, Apple will use a 10.9-inch OLED panel for its 2022 iPad Pro. The report says that Apple is also planning a 12.9-inch OLED iPad Pro and even an OLED 16-inch MacBook Pro to follow later on in 2022. The report is a bit questionable, especially given the numerous sources pointing to Apple's 2021 lineup of iPad Pro's and MacBook Pro's adopting the new mini-LED display technology. The earliest we could see a mini-LED iPad is this month. The new redesigned Apple Silicon-powered MacBook Pro 14 and Pro 16...

Qualcomm unveils Snapdragon Sound for high-quality, low-latency wireless audio

Posted: 05 Mar 2021 04:54 AM PST

There are many ways for streaming audio to go wrong, especially if there is a wireless headset at the end of the chain. Qualcomm is aiming to address all of these issues with the new Snapdragon Sound platform. On the phone end, the company has lined up the Snapdragon 800-series chips with the FastConnect 6900 connectivity system. For headsets and earbuds there are the QCC514x, QCC515x and QCC3056 series Bluetooth Audio SoCs. Between them they support aptX Adaptive, which is capable of delivering high-quality 24-bit 96 kHz audio with very low latency – as low as 89 ms (45% lower than...

Galaxy S21 sales take series to four-year high

Posted: 05 Mar 2021 04:01 AM PST

Samsung has sold 590,000 devices from its Galaxy S21 series, a report from South Korea revealed. The numbers are the highest since the Galaxy S8 (620,000 units). For the first month of sales, Galaxy S21 moved nearly twice as many units as the Galaxy S20 last year. Representatives of the analyst company Atlas Research & Consulting, sitting behind the report, revealed the major reason was Samsung's ability to expand its 5G presence while keeping low price tags, especially compared with the previous series. The basic model of the Galaxy S21 started from KRW990,000 (about $870),...

Realme 8 Pro may have surfaced at the FCC with a 4,500 mAh battery and 65W SuperDart Charge

Posted: 05 Mar 2021 03:16 AM PST

CEO Madhav Sheth already revealed that the Realme 8 will have a 5,000 mAh battery with 30W Dart Charge, so you'd expect the Realme 8 Pro to go faster. And this could be the proof – FCC documents detailing a Realme RMX3081 have surfaced, which appears to be the Realme 8 Pro 4G. The docs show that a 65W charger will be used to fill the phone's 4,500 mAh battery (typical capacity). That matches the specs for the company's SuperDart chargers and if the Realme 7 Pro is any indication (it has the same battery capacity), a full charge will take only 34 minutes with the battery going from 0% to...

Posted: 05 Mar 2021 01:41 AM PST

Yesterday we saw the debut of nubia's Red Magic 6 and 6 Pro gaming phones. The vanilla model comes with 65W fast charging while the Pro goes up to the ludicrous 120W mark which nubia claims it can do a full 0 to 100% charge in 17 just minutes. We now we have a demo video to see a real-world test thanks to Chinese blogger Zhong Wenze who timed how long it would take to charge the Red Magic 6 to 100%. At the start of the video we can clearly see the phone holds a 3% charge. It quickly manages to go to 4% in just 10 seconds and then jumps to 15% after a minute on the 120W GaN (Gallium...

Amazfit is expected to launch a new smartwatch, called T-Rex Pro.

However the new T-Rex Pro will now be able to withstand 10 ATM pressure. The new T-Rex Pro will also track "100+ sports modes", partially enabled by a second-gen BioTracker PPG that now also supports blood oxygen/SpO2 tracking on top of the heart rate measurements.

Apple clarifies Siri feature that asks users to pick a music app

Posted: 04 Mar 2021 08:15 PM PST

Earlier this month, we reported about a new feature that was discovered in a Beta version of iOS 14.5 that seemingly allowed users to set a third-party music or podcasting app as the default for Siri voice commands. It wasn't clear how it worked, and it didn't always ask the user which app they wished to open the audio with. There also was no menu that let you manually select an app to do this with. To clarify the function and its purpose, Apple reached out to TechCrunch to explain what this feature was and that its purpose was not to set a default audio app for Siri. Apple confirmed that...

Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra gets certified in Indonesia, one step closer to launch

Posted: 04 Mar 2021 06:47 PM PST

If you thought last year's Mi 10 Ultra was an insane (in a good way) smartphone, the upcoming Mi 11 Ultra wants to one-up its predecessor with a crazy screen on its back - so that you use the (also insane) main camera array for selfies and vlogs, we assume. Anyway, the Mi 11 Ultra has been certified in Indonesia, as you can see from the image below. This doesn't tell us anything about the device, other than that it's one step closer to launch. Oh, and that it will be officially available outside of China, unlike the Mi 10 Ultra. But that was also obvious from its model number ending in...

Realme GT Neo is on the way with Dimensity 1200 chipset

Posted: 04 Mar 2021 04:02 PM PST

Less than 24 hours ago, Realme took the wraps off its latest flagship smartphone, the GT, at an event in China. At the end of the event, Realme VP Xu Qi also teased an additional member of the new GT family, which is supposedly coming soon. We're talking about the Realme GT Neo, and this one will have MediaTek's Dimensity 1200 chipset at the helm, unlike the GT which uses Qualcomm's Snapdragon 888. That's all we know about it so far, but we wouldn't be surprised to see various leaks and rumors regarding the GT Neo in the coming days and weeks. The Dimensity 1200 was announced back...

Oppo schedules a global launch for its Band Style wearable on March 8

Posted: 04 Mar 2021 12:21 PM PST

Oppo introduced the Oppo Band back in June 2020, and nine months later, the wearable finally will escape the domestic scene. Its first overseas market will be India, with a launch scheduled for Monday, March 8 and the name is slightly changed - it will now be called Oppo Band Style. The wearable comes in two variants - one with a simple TPU wrist band and a more fashionable option with a metal ring. The Oppo Band Style has 12 exercise modes, including one for long-distance runners - a specific group of athletes that rarely gets recognition in the world of affordable wearables. There...

Redmi K40 and Pro may be renamed Mi 11X for India, K40 Pro+ to be called Mi 11i instead

Posted: 04 Mar 2021 11:03 AM PST

XDA Senior Member kacskrz may have uncovered a complicated rebadging scheme for Xiaomi/Redmi/Poco flagships by snooping through build configurations. This is all centered around the new K40 series. We already saw in FCC docs that the Redmi K40 will be sold as the Poco F3 globally. However, these new findings suggest that the K40 will be renamed "Xiaomi Mi 11X" for the Indian market instead of using the Poco brand. This X-branding will carry over to the Redmi K40 Pro as well, which will be known as the Xiaomi Mi 11X Pro. Note that these are not related to the Redmi 10X and 10X Pro....

The Samsung Galaxy A52 5G has not been officially announced yet – that is expected to happen later this month – but a retailer in Saudi Arabia has put the phone on sale already, listing the full specs and everything. The A52 5G has a 6.5" Super AMOLED display with 1,080 x 2,400 px resolution. We're not seeing a refresh rate listed but it should be 120Hz (the rumors were right about everything else). The fingerprint reader is built into the display and the whole thing is guarded by Gorilla Glass (we're not 100% clear on the version). The Snapdragon 750G is the brains of the operation, as...

OnePlus is expected to launch its 9 series soon, and back in December, we heard there might be a third device joining the vanilla and Pro flagships - an OnePlus 9E. We still have no idea about its specs, but the moniker appeared on the website of popular accessory maker Spigen, confirming it is on the way. OnePlus 9E on Spigen's website Big names such as Spigen are rarely mistaken about such info since they receive information about upcoming devices way ahead of the official arrival to prepare their products in time for the launch.
