Photos of iPhone 14 dummies are already making the rounds. Last week we saw the backs of the four models – two small and two big, two vanilla and two Pro – now it's time to have a closer look at the back. This appears to be an iPhone 14 Pro Max, judging by the size of the camera bump relative to the rest of the body. Again we're more interested in what is on the front (and what isn't).

Motorola isn't the only company working on a phone with a 200MP camera – Digital Chat Station reports that there is a phone on the way with a 200MP sensor, a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset, a 120Hz display and a 5,000mAh battery. While the leakster was playing coy, some speculate that this is a Xiaomi phone, specifically the Redmi K50S Pro. Or it might be the Xiaomi 12T Pro instead (actually, those may be one and the same, just different names in different regions). The sensor will be either Samsung's ISOCELL HP1 or the ISOCELL HP3. Both have 200MP resolution, but the difference is in...

Kuo: only the iPhone 15 Pro Max is getting a periscope lens

Posted: 14 Jul 2022 02:38 AM PDT

Apple may have had one of the first modern smartphones with a telephoto lens, but it will be one of the last to adopt a periscope style cam. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has refined some of the claims about Apple's first periscope – it is coming next year, but only to the iPhone 15 Pro Max (in other words, the smaller iPhone 15 Pro will stick to a classic tele lens). Kuo says that the periscope will have 6x magnification and a 12MP 1/3" sensor with sensor shift stabilization. Previous rumors claimed 5x magnification, but it is possible that the final number has not been nailed down (the iPhone 15...

Samsung Galaxy A04 moves a step closer to launch as it gets NBTC certified

Posted: 13 Jul 2022 11:01 PM PDT

The Samsung Galaxy A04 that was Wi-Fi certified last month has bagged NBTC certification, moving it a step closer to the launch. The Thai certification authority doesn't reveal any specs of the Galaxy A04, sporting model code SM-A045F/DS, but it tells us the smartphone won't have 5G connectivity. In addition to the Galaxy A04, Samsung is also expected to launch the Galaxy A04 Core and Galaxy A04s. The latter was recently certified by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), meaning India will be one of the markets to get the Galaxy A04s. Samsung Galaxy A04s • Samsung Galaxy...

Poco F4 5G teardown ends with an average repairability score

Posted: 13 Jul 2022 10:00 PM PDT

In PBKReviews teardown video of the Poco F4 5G, the reviewer gave it a 5.5/10 score for repairability. The design of the device is not designed well with repairability in mind. While it isn't impossible to perform a screen replacement, it does require feeding the flex cable through the midframe, though – that's before applying adhesive. Opening the phone is much like any other: heat up the rear panel and pry around the perimeter to break the adhesive. The panel comes off without any snafus and the camera glass appears to be repairable as a separate piece from the back cover by breaking the...

Samsung releases fourth beta of upcoming One UI Watch 4.5

Posted: 13 Jul 2022 05:57 PM PDT

Yesterday Samsung officially announced the upcoming One UI Watch 4.5 release, which will be available in the third quarter of this year (before the end of September) for the Galaxy Watch4 and Watch4 Classic as well as ship on the new Galaxy Watch5 family when that launches. An announcement like that is not out of the ordinary in itself, but it is kind of odd that it came right in the middle of Samsung's public beta testing program for that software. This has been going on for a few weeks now, and today those who are part of the beta have received a new build on their...
