It promises quicker auto-focusing and even clearer HDR thanks to a new algorithm for stacking images. The new sensor arrived nine months after the ISOCELL HP1, which is technically the first 200MP camera sensor for smartphones, even if we haven't seen an actual phone with it yet. Since then, Samsung managed to decrease the pixel size from 0.64 μm, making the the new sensor 1/1.4" type - about 20% smaller than the...

Posted: 22 Jun 2022 03:05 PM PDT

Samsung's upcoming Galaxy Watch5 family of wearables is going to be more expensive than the Watch4 devices which launched last year, at least upon release. That is, if a new rumor on the matter pans out. It comes from usually reliable Roland Quandt (of OnLeaks fame), however, so there's a higher than usual likelihood of accuracy here. Let's see. The Galaxy Watch5 40mm Bluetooth only will retail for €300, while the LTE model will go for €350. The Galaxy Watch5 44mm Bluetooth only model will be priced at €350, while its LTE capable sibling will retail for €400. Finally, the Galaxy Watch5...

Posted: 22 Jun 2022 09:14 AM PDT

As always, the Montblanc timepiece focuses on luxury. In fact, the company didn't announce many technical details. All we know for certain so far is that the watch is powered by the Snapdragon Wear 4100+ chipset. The Montblanc Summit 3 features improved exercise...

Posted: 22 Jun 2022 08:01 AM PDT

Pixel 7's Tensor 2 chipset might offer only modest performance improvements

Posted: 22 Jun 2022 06:49 AM PDT

Google has revealed only a few details about the upcoming Pixel 7 series, but we know that working prototypes exist – one even ended up eBay. Another such prototype, a bricked Pixel 7 Pro, was used by the Google News Telegram group to dig up additional info on the new models. While the phone itself was bricked, the group managed to extract boot logs. Combing through those, they discovered that the Tensor 2 chipset features Cortex-A55 cores. This is the last little core based on the ARMv8 architecture, the new design (A510) is based on ARMv9. And since the two architectures can't coexist on...

Posted: 21 Jun 2022 06:57 PM PDT

According to a new report out of its home of Korea, Samsung has a stock problem. And it's that it has huge amounts of phones in stock - over 50 million, in fact. That staggering stockpile has added up into the stocks of its distributors. These are phones that are just sitting there waiting to be bought - but apparently not enough people want them. The A series of mid-range devices allegedly takes up a huge portion of this stuck inventory, presumably because they aren't appealing enough to fly off the shelves. Samsung is aiming to ship around 270 million smartphones this year, and 50...

Motorola Razr 3's battery life might be disappointing

Posted: 21 Jun 2022 04:29 PM PDT

Motorola is currently working on its next generation foldable smartphone, which we're tentatively calling Razr 3. This will launch at some point in the near future, and it's confirmed to sport Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset. This means it will be Motorola's first high-end foldable. There are other upgrades too, especially in the camera department, but if we go by a new rumor out of China, there will also be areas where the new Razr isn't better than its predecessors. And one such problematic area is battery capacity. According to a source who's been reliable in the past (but not...
