Posted: 22 Jun 2021 06:56 AM PDT

Market intelligence firm TrendForce published its prediction of Apple's strategy with the upcoming iPhone 13 series. Or perhaps it will be called Apple 12s and it may as well be as this generation will focus on improving the features introduced with the 12. Component shortages have driven prices up, but according to the analysts Apple will maintain the pricing of the current generation starting at $700 for the mini (though the mini will not be the focus of attention, more on that in a sec). Apple is also upgrading some components. For one, the iPhone 13 Pro duo will have AMOLED panels...

Huawei P50 series coming on July 29 with huge ultrawide sensor

Posted: 22 Jun 2021 02:53 AM PDT

The Huawei P50 series' unveil could be on July 29, as per a Weibo rumor. The date was revealed by converting the binary code hint 1011011001 to 729, suggesting 29 of July. The P50 series is said to feature three devices - the P50, P50 Pro and P50 Pro+. Another source from China claims that due to the Pandemic's effect on supply, Huawei could unveil a mostly 4G-ready fleet of P50 devices, all running the Kirin 9000 chipset. That would allow a lower price, although we still expect 5G versions of both the P50 Pro and P50 Pro+. A third rumor has pointed to the series using a new...

Samsung Galaxy M22 to support 25W charging, only ship with 15W charger

Posted: 22 Jun 2021 01:41 AM PDT

The Samsung Galaxy M22 isn't new to the rumor mill as some of its specs leaked a while ago. But a fresh FCC certification is here to tell us that the phone is getting closer to launch and that it supports 25W fast charging. However, there's a catch. According to the listing, the device will ship with a 15W charger so you'd have to buy the 25W-rated charger from Samsung to take advantage of the fast charging. This is not the first time the manufacturer has shipped a phone with a lower-rated charger to cut on cost and the Galaxy M22 is a budget entry anyway. So far, clues suggest that...

Apple iPhone 12 mini production reportedly halted

Posted: 22 Jun 2021 12:55 AM PDT

It's no secret that the iPhone 12 mini underperformed in terms of sales compared to the rest of Apple's current iPhone lineup. Now, TrendForce is reporting that the 12 mini is no longer in production, reaching the end of its life cycle. The phone is still up on Apple's website and will continue to sell as before until stock lasts. Apple is expected to focus on driving sales of the three non-mini models in the iPhone 12s series in view of the fact that the iPhone 12 mini (which reached End-of-Life ahead of time in 2Q21) suffered disappointing sales performances compared to other models...

Samsung Galaxy A51 finally receives Android 11 update with One UI 3.1 in the US

Posted: 21 Jun 2021 07:09 PM PDT

Samsung used to have a very bad rep for updates going out to its unlocked smartphones sold in the US, and while the situation has improved somewhat, it's still not great. Case in point: the unlocked US-bound Galaxy A51 is now starting to receive the update to Android 11 with One UI 3.1 on top. That's all fine and dandy, until you remember that international units got Android 11 back in February. That's about four months of delay right there for you yanks. Anyway, the new Android version from 2020 is finally on its way to you now. It arrives over the air as build version...

OnePlus Nord N200 will get only one major Android update

Posted: 21 Jun 2021 04:57 PM PDT

The OnePlus Nord N200 is in a weird state right now having been semi-announced by T-Mobile last week, but not being up on OnePlus' own website. Regardless, the phone is headed to the magenta carrier where it will be available to buy from June 25. That's also when it looks like it may go up for pre-order at other US retailers, and we don't yet know exactly when or if the phone will be offered in other countries. It's all kind of a mess. However, if you were more concerned with OnePlus' update policy for the new device, especially given the iffy history the Nord line has had with that, we...

Posted: 21 Jun 2021 01:47 PM PDT

Samsung Gallery updated with tablet/DeX UI, Samsung Notes learns new skills too

Posted: 21 Jun 2021 12:31 PM PDT

The Samsung Gallery app gains a new "Drawer UI" in the latest update (12.1.07.5), a handy way to navigate the folders on your device for Galaxy tablets or phones in DeX mode. It pulls out from the left and works similarly to a desktop file browser. Samsung Gallery updated with Drawer UI and Full screen scrolling Another change (this one seemingly for phones only) is the Full screen scrolling – basically, it hides the status bar and the navigation bar while you scroll, leaving more room for thumbnails (to bring the bars back just scroll up slightly). Samsung Notes is also...

Windows 11 will finally introduce advanced multi-monitor settings

Posted: 21 Jun 2021 11:20 AM PDT

Windows 10 has been around for a while but little has been done to improve the multi-monitor experience for users. And using more than one monitor in 2021 isn't a rare thing too. A growing number of users have asked Microsoft to do something about it in the Feedback Hub and we can finally see the company making some efforts. In the leaked Windows 11 build, there's an option that allows the OS to remember each window location based on the monitor connection. This means that if you leave a bunch of windows opened on both monitors, once you re-connect a display or when you wake up the PC....
