Xiaomi 12S Ultra BoM breakdown shows that the 1" sensor isn't as expensive as other components

Posted: 20 Jul 2022 10:31 AM PDT

The Xiaomi 12S Ultra has a massive 1" Sony IMX989 sensor – that must be quite expensive, right? Well... as it turns out, no. Counterpoint Research has a breakdown and analysis of the Bill of Materials (BoM) for the phone and that sensor is not the most expensive piece of kit on the phone. Far from it, actually. The base unit with 8GB of RAM and 256GB storage costs $516 or so to manufacture, but it sells for CNY 6,000 (that's just under $900). Note that those $516 include the cost of the components, assembly, testing, intellectual property rights and the retail box contents. Separate from...

Official video shows off Motorola Razr 3's larger cover display

Posted: 20 Jul 2022 08:27 AM PDT

The upcoming Motorola Razr 3 is rumored to have two bigger screens and now we have official confirmation. Last week Chen Jin, the GM of Lenovo Mobile China, showed off the new design on stage, focusing on the internal display. Now the GM has posted a short video showing off the cover display. The video shows an Easter egg – "You can play like this on the outside screen," writes Chen Jin. It's a simple dice game, but even that can't fit on the Galaxy Z Flip3 cover display, for example. Brightening up the image a bit reveals two cameras next to the display, plus an LED...

Our Xiaomi 12S Ultra video reviews are out

Posted: 20 Jul 2022 07:39 AM PDT

The Xiaomi 12S Ultra arrived with big promises and incredible features, including a 1-inch camera sensor by Sony. This camera-centric flagship was developed with Leica, and we did a dedicated camera review, which was posted yesterday. In it we explain the advantages this new camera has over predecessors and competitors, and how it provides arguably the best still photos we've seen in a smartphone, ever. The ultrawide and zoom lenses also perform at least as well as last year's Mi 11 Ultra but we expected more in the video performance. The 12S Ultra might look like a camera but it...

Souped-up OnePlus 10T spotted on Geekbench

Posted: 20 Jul 2022 04:07 AM PDT

The OnePlus 10T went for a quick visit to Geekbench, confirming a few specs. Unsurprisingly, the OnePlus 10T uses a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset but what's more interesting is the 16GB that are paired to the chip. This must be the rumored Moonstone Black model with 16GB of RAM that will be an India and China exclusive. The rest of the world will have a pick of either 8GB or 12GB. The Geekbench listing also points to Android 12, likely with the latest OxygenOS 12.1. The OnePlus 10T is expected to become official on August 3 alongside a special Indian launch.

Posted: 20 Jul 2022 03:19 AM PDT

nubia unveiled an "S" revision of its nubia Z40 Pro. The phone upgrades to the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset (from the original 8) and brings an improved battery and charging system. There is also a special edition with a sci-fi look, but let's start at the beginning. The nubia Z40S Pro is powered by the 8+ Gen 1 chip, paired with LPDDR5 RAM (8, 12 or even 18GB) and UFS 3.1 (128, 256, 512GB or a top of the line 1TB option). The chip is kept cool by a larger vapor chamber than the non-S phone had to work with (which also had the hotter chipset), plus a graphene sheet and a thermal paste...

Netflix loses 1M subscribers in Q2 2022, confirms ad-supported tier for early 2023

Posted: 20 Jul 2022 02:23 AM PDT

Netflix was expecting a tough second quarter with a steep decline in paid subscribers but today's financial report revealed a picture much less bleak than feared. Between April and June, the platform lost 970,000 memberships instead of the expected 2 million. This lead to a 7% increase in share prices in after-hours trading. The cheaper ad-supported tier is expected in early 2023, and the same deadline applies to clamping down on the 100 million households that do not pay for the service, but use shared passwords. Losing 1 million paying customers might be a big blow for the...

Posted: 19 Jul 2022 07:01 PM PDT
