The first selfie camera is a 16 MP module of the under display variety, which will leave the large inner screen completely unblemished.

There might be a Reno6 Z 5G (CPH2237) as well, which recently got certified by Malaysia's SIRIM and has now bagged certification by Thailand's NBTC. The listing on the Thai certifying authority's website doesn't include any specs of the Reno6 Z 5G, but since its predecessor (Reno5 Z) was a rebranded F19 Pro+ 5G with slower charging and NFC chip onboard, the Reno6 Z 5G could also be based on an existing Oppo smartphone. We'll find that out at tomorrow's event if Oppo unveils the...

OnePlus confirms Nord2 name, launch might come before September 30

Posted: 25 May 2021 09:08 PM PDT

The original OnePlus Nord was announced in July of last year and went on to become available in August. We're now at the end of May, and there haven't been many leaks about a successor, but that doesn't mean it's not coming. In fact, OnePlus itself confirmed the Nord2 name, on its own website, in the FAQ section of a new Stadia Premiere Edition promo that it's running in the UK, Germany, and France. As you can see, the text is clear. This promo runs until September 30, and there's no point in including the upcoming Nord2 if it doesn't become available before then. So that's what...

Samsung Galaxy A22 5G gets priced in Europe

Posted: 25 May 2021 06:59 PM PDT

The Samsung Galaxy A22 5G still hasn't become official, but it definitely can't be long now. The phone's name implies that this is going to be Samsung's cheapest 5G handset yet, and today a supposed retailer listing from the EU has pretty much confirmed that unsurprising fact. The phone is listed at €185 sans VAT, which strongly implies a final price, inclusive of the tax, around €229, depending on country (since VAT is different in each one). Perhaps in some nations we might even see it go lower, but it's very unlikely the price will be below €199. Still, that will in fact make...

Panasonic launches the LUMIX GH5 II, teases the upcoming GH6

Posted: 25 May 2021 05:30 PM PDT

Panasonic today announced an updated version of its venerable LUMIX GH5 camera. The new GH5 Mark II is a relatively modest upgrade over its predecessor but if you look at the other thing Panasonic announced today, you'd realize it's just a stop-gap. The GH5M2 features a revised set of specifications, largely due to the upgrade to the newer and latest generation Venus Engine processor. The camera is now capable of internally recording 4K 60p in 10-bit at 4:2:0, which is an improvement over the GH5 that could only do 8-bit internally. The GH5M2 will also be able to simultaneously...

Posted: 25 May 2021 04:33 PM PDT

Google started developing its Fuchsia OS as an open-source operating system for many platforms back in 2016, but for the longest time there haven't been any news abut it. Well, Fuchsia is now the official OS for Google's original Nest Hub, formerly the Google Home Hub.
