The Realme Pad X was announced in May as a Wi-Fi only slate for the Chinese market. Now the company is preparing to launch the tablet in India and is advertising it as the "only 5G tablet in the premium mid-range segment".

OnePlus Ace Pro in the works with flagship chipset and 16 GB RAM

Posted: 22 Jul 2022 12:15 AM PDT

OnePlus 10T will arrive on August 3 and we will also see OxygenOS 13 on stage. The phone is expected to have a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset but it might not be the only phone with this platform OnePlus has in the pipeline. According to Digital Chat Station, a device named OnePlus Ace Pro is also on its way with the latest and greatest Snapdragon, and it will also have 16 GB RAM and 150W fast charging. Given the brand's history of giving one phone two different names for domestic and overseas sales, it is fair to assume the OnePlus Ace Pro is actually the 10T. OnePlus 10T leaked...

Posted: 21 Jul 2022 09:21 PM PDT

Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip4 is going to be announced at Samsung Unpacked on August 10 but a new report from Pricebaba reveals the new foldable device's retail price in Europe. Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 The base model Galaxy Z Flip4 is expected to come in at €1,080 with 128GB of storage. Meanwhile, 256GB and 512GB variants will run €1,160 and € 1,280, respectively.

Facebook adds a new tab called Feeds which is sorted chronologically

Posted: 21 Jul 2022 06:59 PM PDT

Today Facebook announced a pretty substantial change to its app. First off, the main feed you see when you open the app is now called Home, which makes sense and is way overdue. But that's not the big news. The big news is that there's now an additional tab in the app, called Feeds. And this tab is sorted in reverse chronological order - you know, like what's now called Home used to be before the algorithm took over. The Feeds tab has a few filters of its own - you can have it show you everything or just stuff from your friends, groups, pages, or favorites - this is a curated list...

Samsung wants to build 11 chip fabs in Texas

Posted: 21 Jul 2022 03:37 PM PDT

Samsung is building a chip fab in the Austin, Texas area in the US, which is estimated to cost around $17 billion. But that's far from the only fab the company is thinking about building in that area. In fact, Samsung has filed applications for tax breaks for 11 more fabs it wants to build in Texas, in the Taylor and Manor districts. Of course, this is far from a done deal - and undoubtedly a lot is hinging on whether Samsung gets those tax breaks or not - they would add up to a whopping $4.8 billion. If not, then these plans will clearly be shelved. But if it does receive the...

Infinix creates a "3D Vapor Cloud Chamber", which improves on conventional designs by 3°C

Posted: 21 Jul 2022 08:12 AM PDT

Infinix has developed an improved vapor chamber cooling system that it calls "3D Vapor Cloud Chamber" (3D VCC). Compared to conventional designs, it reduces the temperature of the chipset by 3°C, according to the company. The way it does this is by improving the contact between the chipset and the vapor chamber itself. Phone VCs are typically flat, which requires the use of thermal paste (or a similar material) to mate the chipset and VC. The 3D VCC design has a "bump" that leaves only the tiniest gap between the chamber and the chipset. The bump has an additional advantage – it...

Engineer who put USB-C on an iPhone did the same with AirPods this time

Posted: 20 Jul 2022 10:10 PM PDT

We've covered two of Ken Pillonel's viral modifications here on the site before. Back in November, Pillonel successfully modified and iPhone X with a fully functioning USB-C port. Then in April, Pillonel fitted a Samsung Galaxy A51 with a Lighting port. The projects show that products can indeed use universal connectors even if the company that made them doesn't want them to. Pillonel's latest undertaking is the AirPods case. The video starts with a phone call to Apple where Pillonel is told by an Apple representative "it's more economical just to swap the case out" in the event the...
