Posted: 13 Jun 2022 07:01 AM PDT

The acquisition is now complete, even if Meizu didn't put out a press release.

Geely has the resources to support the company, however, the automaker owns Volvo, Polestar, Lotus and others.

Samsung Galaxy Fit3 coming later this year or early 2023

Posted: 13 Jun 2022 06:16 AM PDT

While the Galaxy Watch series gets most of the glory, Samsung does make smart bands too. Well, occasionally. The Galaxy Fit2 was announced in September 2020 alongside the Galaxy Tab A7 and there hasn't been a new one since. That will change, soon-ish. This info comes from the Korean branch of the Samsung Community forum. One user was asking about the Samsung Galaxy Fit3 and when it might come out. The answer is either in the second half of this year or (if there is a delay in the schedule) in the first half of next year. The band will apparently cost around KRW 49,000-50,000. Not...

Apple iPhone 14 to bring huge front camera update with autofocus

Posted: 13 Jun 2022 05:24 AM PDT

Apple is expected to bring the iPhone 14 in September. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo predicted that the new phones will have the biggest front camera upgrade since the iPhone 11. The selfie shooter will have auto-focus, moving away from the FF solution for the first time in the company's history. It will also arrive with a 6P lens and bright f/1.9 aperture. Switching to AF will improve the front campera's versatility, as people are relying more and more on the front-facing camera for both serious video calls and silly dances for social media. The main supplier of the lens will be Genius,...

FCC docs reveal that the Samsung Galaxy Watch5 series will feature 10W chargers

Posted: 13 Jun 2022 04:39 AM PDT

FCC documents reveal three Samsung smartwatches – SM-R900, SM-R910 and SM-R920. The first two are the 40mm and 44mm versions of the Samsung Galaxy Watch5, the last one is the Watch5 Pro. Interestingly, the wireless charger that was tested in the lab is rated at 10W (5V at 2A).

Note that is the input rating, the charger may still be limited to 5W output. Whether the watches have fast charging or not, they will...

Photos of Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4 batteries reveal larger than expected capacity

Posted: 13 Jun 2022 03:49 AM PDT

A previous leak suggested that the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4 will bring a minor upgrade in battery capacity. Now the actual batteries have been photographed and it turns out that the upgrade will be bigger than expected. There are two batteries, both made by Samsung SDI. One has a rated capacity of 2,555mAh, the other of 1,040mAh. This brings the total to 3,595mAh rated, but typical capacity will probably be labeled as 3,700mAh. That would be a 400mAh increase over the Z Flip3 battery or a 12% bump in capacity. That's not huge, but it's not nothing either, considering that 3D renders...
