Interestingly, the post went unnoticed for days but it comes from a fairly reliable source. The active stylus is said to feature a thin 0.7mm tip that shouldn't damage the handset's foldable screen, supports 4096 pressure levels and charges over USB-C, which is kind of unexpected. Of course, the S Pen Pro will be sold separately and will attach magnetically onto compatible cases. The post ends with an estimated price of £70 in the UK. For...

Posted: 30 Jul 2021 11:00 PM PDT

In a blog post, popular messaging app Telegram outlines a slew of new updates coming to its app, the most significant of which is "Group Video Calls 2.0" where video calls of up to 30 participants can broadcast their cameras and screens with up to 1000 spectators. Telegram lightheartedly jokes that this limit will increase until "all humans on Earth can join one group call". Video Messages have been updated to 2.0.

If you're in India and searching for a cheap smartphone, you'll get yet another option on Monday, August 2, because that's when Infinix is said to launch the Smart 5A in the country.

Posted: 30 Jul 2021 05:43 PM PDT

Realme is going to be the first Android smartphone maker to come out with its own version of Apple's MagSafe magnetic wireless charger. It's called MagDart and will make its debut next week. Given the fact that Realme started out as an Oppo sub-brand, it may not shock you at all to find out that Oppo too is working on a magnetic wireless charger of its own. This has been leaked today in the renders you can see below. Unfortunately no specs were outed alongside the renders, nor any dimensions. From the images alone, it's pretty obvious that it's quite slim, and there's a USB-C port...

Posted: 30 Jul 2021 03:05 PM PDT

OnePlus has gone through a strategic shift in the last year or so. With the launch of the Nord lineup, it has been able to aggressively expand to new markets within Europe and India, all while raising brand awareness in the US – known to be a very difficult market for Chinese OEMs to break through.

The company's growth resulted in a 257% increase in number of shipments globally (including China, India, EU, and US) in the first half of the year. This compared to the same time frame last year.

Microsoft rolls out the first beta of Windows 11

Posted: 30 Jul 2021 09:08 AM PDT

There will be no new Dev Channel build of Windows 11 this week, but there is something better – the first Beta build is now live. Microsoft recommends that those who were curious enough to install the early Dev builds, but would prefer something more stable, switch over to the Beta channel. Normally this would require a full reinstall, but for a limited time you will be able to switch from the Dev to the Beta channel. Go to Windows Update > Windows Insider Program to make the switch. Note that Windows 11 is still very much under active development and while the betas should be...
