| Flashback: Samsung's long history of fashion phones includes Giorgio Armani and Hugo Boss Posted: 02 May 2021 05:44 AM PDT  The LG KE850 Prada was the first phone with a capacitive touchscreen, beating Apple's iPhone to the punch by a couple of months. But it's not the only touch phone to partner up with a fashion brand – while LG was in cahoots with Prada, Samsung approached Giorgio Armani and Hugo Boss. The Samsung P520 Armani was launched at Giorgio Armani's show at Milan Fashion Week in 2007. It had a small 2.6" display (240x320px, 4:3). Well, it was fairly large for a featurephone back then, but it was small for an all-touch phone. And it was a resistive touchscreen too, a far cry from the 3.0" capacitive... |
| Weekly poll: the vivo V21, V21 5G and V21e offer the best selfies in the class, are you interested? Posted: 02 May 2021 02:11 AM PDT  The selfie camera often goes overlooked. Did you know that before this week there were only 5 phones with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) on their front-facing cameras? Some flagships don't even have autofocus on front!

| Weekly poll results: iPad Pro 12.9 (2021) shows great promise, but iPadOS needs to be better Posted: 01 May 2021 10:31 PM PDT  The new iPad Pro 12.9 (2021) is showing great potential. It came out on top in last week's poll, collecting many positive votes even though it is an expensive device, which naturally limits its appeal. A consensus formed in the comment section – the Apple M1 chipset is great, but it is wasted on iPadOS. Even though it branched off iOS, it is still much closer to a phone OS (an iPhone at that) than it is to macOS. Accessories can extend the capabilities of the iPad Pro, but it's still not a Mac This locks you out of a lot of professional software, limits what you can do with the... |
| Xiaomi Black Shark 4 in for review Posted: 01 May 2021 06:47 PM PDT  Say hello to the Black Shark 4, the lower standing member of Xiaomi's latest gaming smartphone duo. Differentiated from the Black Shark 4 Pro by the Snapdragon 870 in place of the 888 and a slightly different set of cameras, the Black Shark 4 is still an impressive phone. We got the Chinese version model with an included 120W charger that can top up the 4,500mAh battery of the Black Shark 4 in just 17 minutes, but depending on where you live you're likelier to get the 67W charger in the box. As that's still plenty fast, so we really can't count it against it. Our unit comes with... |
