All members of the iPhone 14 family to sport 120Hz LTPO OLED panels

Posted: 06 Jul 2021 06:27 AM PDT

It's probably clear by now that only the Pro models of the iPhone 13 lineup will feature 120Hz LTPO OLED panels with the vanilla 13 models to get 60Hz displays. That's because only Samsung can make LTPO screens and it doesn't have the capacity to produce enough units. However LG is hoping to step up its game and start producing the required panels by next year. According to the Korean media outlet The Elec, the company could meet demands for the iPhone 14 launch. LG is already in talks with Avaco, which is a supplying LTPO panel-making equipment, and is awaiting Apple's approval for...

Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra to come with 108MP main camera, not 200MP

Posted: 06 Jul 2021 05:38 AM PDT

Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra was initially said to feature Samsung's upcoming 200MP sensor but recent reports say otherwise. Now the very reputable Samsung-related leaksters IceUniverse has backed those reports, saying the company will not make another push in the megapixel war. Instead of the 200MP sensor, the company plans to use a more "polished", new version of the current 108MP ISOCELL HM3 sensor. Sadly, there are no details around what exactly "polished" means. We are also curious if Samsung is struggling to manufacture the 200MP sensor in sufficient quality or the company has...

Xiaomi patents foldable phone with a wraparound screen like on the Mi Mix Alpha

Posted: 06 Jul 2021 04:47 AM PDT

In late 2019 Xiaomi unveiled the Mi Mix Alpha with a curious design that had a single screen wrap around the front, side and back of the device. Then earlier this year it launched its first foldable, the Mi Mix Fold. What if there was a phone that combined both these designs? Xiaomi has already considered such a possibility and filed a patent on the design last year, though the documents were only made publicly available today. The device really does look like a mix between the Alpha and the Fold. It is, essentially, an inward folder, except that the secondary screen on the outside is not...

OnePlus 9's price drops to a very tempting level in new deal

Posted: 05 Jul 2021 08:28 PM PDT

If you don't need all the bells and whistles of its Pro sibling, the OnePlus 9 is a perfectly capable top of the line smartphone for 2021, and today it's cheaper than it's ever been since launch.

Posted: 05 Jul 2021 10:43 AM PDT

HMD Global has had a really tough time with building a Nokia flagship. After the Nokia 9 PureView failed to make an impression on the market, we went through a progression of rumors – about the 9.1, then 9.2 and most recently the 9.3 PureView, each followed by a rumor of a delayed launch.

And this is no mere rumor, it comes from a quote by Zhang Yucheng, the Product Manager for HMD in China. The...

Rumor: the Snapdragon 895 will be fabbed on 4nm Samsung node, the 895+ on 4nm TSMC node

Posted: 05 Jul 2021 09:19 AM PDT

The Snapdragon 865 was fabbed on TSMC's N7P process (second gen 7 nm), but Qualcomm switched to Samsung foundries when ordering the Snapdragon 888. The Snapdragon 888+ is built on the same Samsung 5 nm node, it's just a higher-binned part with the Cortex-X1 clocked at 2.995 GHz (up from 2.84 GHz) and the NPU cranked up to 32 TOPS (up from 26 TOPS). Things will look different next year, says Ice Universe – the Snapdragon 895 will be fabbed by Samsung at its 4 nm node, while the Snapdragon 895+ upgrade will be made at TSMC's 4 nm foundries instead. Both are refinements of the respective 5...
