| Camera test: 2013 contender challenges the reigning champion Posted: 25 Jul 2021 06:33 AM PDT  Introduction We kicked off a Flashback series on our YouTube channel just last week, with the first video starring the Nokia 808 PureView. It is a smartphone with a cult following thanks to what was a groundbreaking camera at the time. That video prompted a closer look at the PureView camera, which we did in a head-to-head with the current image quality benchmark, the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra. One thing led to another and here we are with yet another famed opponent for the Xiaomi - a Nokia Lumia 1020. A spiritual successor to the 808, the 1020 builds on the PureView concept but drops it... |
| Weekly poll results: Valve's Steam Deck beats the Nintendo Switch OLED Posted: 25 Jul 2021 01:49 AM PDT  Valve stole Nintendo's thunder – people were already lukewarm on the minimal upgrades brought on by the Switch OLED, but then Valve's own portable console arrived to offer people an alluring alternative. Many complain about the lack of physical game media, which makes it easier to sell old games you no longer need. And that's true, but Steam's whole reason for being is to make buying, installing and playing a new game just a few clicks away and doing it online makes the whole process frictionless Valve Steam Deck • Nintendo Switch OLED Plus, it's just a Linux PC in an unusual... |
| PlaticARM is a functional, natively-flexible 32-bit ARM chipset Posted: 24 Jul 2021 10:23 PM PDT  Wearable tech is nothing new, though definitely trendy and currently on the rise. Same goes for the broad Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem. Even things like smart patches, meant to go on your skin kind of exists, though current implementations tend to use traditional crystalline silicon as their base or substrate for the actual chips. In contrast, natively flexible electronic devices use substrates such as paper, metal foil or as is the case with PlasticARM - plastic. Thin-film transistors (TFTs) are grafted on top of that substrate, resulting in truly flexible chips. The benefits of this... |
| Flashback: Sony Ericsson Satio and a look at how far camera phones have come in the last decade Posted: 24 Jul 2021 06:33 PM PDT  The Satio was Sony Ericsson's first phone with a 12MP camera. It very nearly became the first 12MP phone ever, but it was beaten by a few months by rival Pixon12 from Samsung. This is a rivalry that we will revisit in just a bit. Even if it couldn't claim the bragging rights of being first, the Satio produced high quality photographs at the click of a button. And it had plenty of buttons – you'd be forgiven if you mistake the right side of the phone for the top side of a point-and-shoot camera. The rear was very camera-like as well, plus you had a nice big screen with which to frame your... |
| Oppo Watch 2 leaked image reveals calling support Posted: 24 Jul 2021 04:00 PM PDT  The Oppo Watch 2 arriving on July 27 will have calling support, reveals one of the images shared by leakster Evan Blass. But that's hardly a surprise since its predecessor, Oppo Watch, also came with this functionality. It also had eSIM support in China but not in other countries, so it remains to be seen if that will be the case with the Watch 2 as well if it escapes its home country. Another picture shared by Blass shows the Oppo Watch 2 displaying directions on a map, likely hinting at built-in GPS. The first-gen Watch had it, so the Watch 2 may also have a GPS chip... |
| Posted: 24 Jul 2021 02:00 PM PDT  Info on a fancy upcoming high-end Honor V7 Pro tablet surfaced yesterday, mostly teasing the design and suggesting a MediaTek Dimensity 1300T chipset at its core. Press release A new source now claims to have a bit more detail on the unannounced Dimensity chip. A photo showing a confidential MediaTek press release document, addressed to Honor definitely lends credibility to the leak as well. We still don't get the full specs sheet for the Dimensity 1300T, but it looks to follow the general trend with the rest of the lineup and is a similar, yet beefed-up derivative of the... |

| You can now block other users on Google Drive Posted: 24 Jul 2021 10:00 AM PDT  Google Drive excels at many things and convenience is chef among them. Storing, sync and editing of files personally is one thing, but a lot of the platform's true power lies in its collaborative aspects, especially if you use some of Google's paid offers, like Workplace or G Suite Business. For all that power, however, Google Drive's sharing policy has always been rather liberal in that there is no restriction or second layer of confirmation for actually sharing something with another person. All you need to do is enter a valid gmail in the sharing interface and that resource will appear in... |
| Poco X3 GT confirmed to feature 67W charging Posted: 24 Jul 2021 08:00 AM PDT  Poco recently confirmed that the X3 GT arriving on July 28 will be powered by the Dimensity 1100 SoC. Now the company has announced that the smartphone will support 67W Turbo Charging. Poco hasn't detailed the X3 GT's specs sheet yet, but rumors claim this isn't an entirely new device but a rebranded Redmi Note 10 Pro (Chinese variant). The leaked images also suggest the same. Redmi Note 10 Pro (Chinese variant) • Poco X3 GT If that's true, the Poco X3 GT will come with a 6.6" FullHD+ 120Hz LCD display, 5,000 mAh battery, and a side-mounted fingerprint reader. For... |
