Nothing phone (1) will support 33W wired charging

Posted: 07 Jul 2022 07:28 PM PDT

As you may have noticed already, the Nothing phone (1)'s specs keep appearing one after the other, day after day, whether by official teaser or - like in this case - through other means. A listing of the device on the TUV Sud website reveals that it will be capable of charging at up to 11V 3A, which equals 33W. That's definitely not going to place the Nothing phone (1) at the forefront of quick charging these days, but considering its mid-range chipset and positioning it probably won't feel entirely out of place either. A few of its competitors go to the high 60s, Watts-wise, and there are...

Xiaomi 12S Ultra in for review

Posted: 07 Jul 2022 08:49 AM PDT

Oh Xiaomi, why do you play with our emotions so? This is the Xiaomi 12S Ultra and it may very well be the best phone in the world right now. But Xiaomi won't sell it to anyone outside of China, which is a shame. The 12S Ultra is up to Xiaomi's usual retail standard - you get a 67W charger, a USB cable, and a case. The Xiaomi 12S Ultra is a camera-first smartphone. That's immediately apparent after a single glance at it. The front is the usual premium all display affair. The rear, however, is what you get when you mold a phone with a retro camera - a huge glass element atop a raised...

The OnePlus 10T may have just set a high score on AnTuTu

Posted: 06 Jul 2022 10:21 AM PDT

An AnTuTu scorecard for the OnePlus 10T may have been discovered and it sets the benchmark for Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 performance, writes leakster Digital Chat Station. A OnePlus phone, PHP110, ran AnTuTu version 9.4.0 and came out with a score of 1.13 million.
