Posted: 23 May 2022 05:16 AM PDT

Motorola brought the Razr brand back to life several years ago, and the foldable smartphone has had two iterations so far.

A brand manager of Motorola shared a teaser on his own Weibo page, revealing the new Moto Razr will run on the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset. The first smart Moto Razr arrived in late 2019. Back then Motorola told us that having a flagship chipset is not a top priority among foldable users, and that's why HQ decided against the idea. Three years later, the...

Xiaomi officially announces partnership with Leica, first jointly developed phone arrives in July

Posted: 22 May 2022 07:00 PM PDT

The rumors were true as it turns out. Xiaomi has just informed us that it is in fact undertaking a strategic partnership with Leica, and the first imaging flagship smartphone jointly developed by the two companies will be launched in July this year. Since the rumor mill was right about the Xiaomi - Leica partnership, we think it's safe to assume it was also right about the device in question being the Xiaomi 12 Ultra, but we'll see. As you may know, this is far from Leica's first rodeo in the mobile world. The camera company's most well known and definitely most successful such partnership...

Huawei MateStation X review

Posted: 22 May 2022 03:41 AM PDT

Introduction PCs and monitors have enjoyed a resurgence in the past couple of years, thanks to people having to work from home. So it made sense that all-in-ones would also enjoy more attention. More and more manufacturers are giving the form factor attention - computers that package a display, keyboard, and mouse and simplify your life while doing it. A few companies have enjoyed great success in the all-in-one market. Popular models include the Pavilion 24 from HP, and the 24-inch M1-powered iMac from Apple, while Lenovo and Microsoft have upmarket options in the Surface Studio 2, and...

Weekly poll: does the Huawei Mate Xs 2 have a future in your pocket?

Posted: 21 May 2022 11:21 PM PDT

Pretty early on it was clear that when it comes to foldables, keeping the screen inside is preferable to leaving it out in the open. That was more by necessity, though, the early foldable screens were too fragile to leave them with no protection. Outward folding designs like the Huawei Mate Xs 2 have many advantages, however, and this is the second generation of the design (after 2020's Mate Xs). Has the company finally cracked the durability issues? Unfortunately, this is a question that can only be answered in time - some foldable phones develop issues after months of use. But what we...

Posted: 21 May 2022 07:13 PM PDT

We already reviewed the company's first pair of wireless earbuds and now we turn out attention to the Poco Watch. A compact, lightweight device more akin to a smart band than an actual smartwatch, Poco Watch brings the usual mix of health tracking, dual-band GPS and an AMOLED display. That's all topped with claims of up to two weeks of battery life and a €79 pricetag. How good is Poco's first smartwatch and where does it stack up in the sea of...

Weekly poll results: the Sony Xperia 1 IV and 10 IV are great, if you can afford them

Posted: 21 May 2022 02:33 PM PDT

This is the blight of the Sony fan – last week's poll shows that 3 in 4 people want to buy the new flagship, the Xperia 1 IV, but only 1 in 4 actually have the money for it. The rest wish it was cheaper, but that might take a while. The Mark 3 started at €1,300 a year ago. Today, you can find one for around €900 with some shopping around. But the Mark 4 starts at €1,400, so if it falls the same amount, it will still be a €1,000 phone a year from now. Ouch. With rising inflation and an uncertain economy not everyone has Xperia 1 money to spend. Few people found faults in the hardware,...

Apple supplier BOE could lose millions of iPhone 14 OLED panel orders

Posted: 21 May 2022 07:45 AM PDT

Chinese display maker Beijing Oriental Electronics (BOE) struck a deal with Apple to supply OLED panels for the iPhone 14 series. However, South Korean publication The Elec reports that the company is yet to receive approval from Apple for the iPhone 14's displays, and it could actually lose the order of about 30 million OLED screens for the 2022 iPhones. That's because BOE unilaterally changed the design of the circuit width of the iPhone 13's OLED panels earlier this year to increase the yield rate, which resulted in Apple asking BOE to halt the production of the panels. Apple...
