HDMI 2.2 spec released with 96Gbps bandwidth and 16K support

After announcing it at CES earlier this year, HDMI Forum has finally released the latest HDMI 2.2 spec for device and accessory manufacturers. As with previous major HDMI revisions, the major update with version 2.2 is the increase in bandwidth. HDMI 2.2 supports up to 96Gbps bandwidth, twice that of HDMI 2.1 that came before it. However, since this is HDMI Forum we are talking about, and some amount of muddying of water is expected, HDMI 2.2 will also apply to devices supporting 64Gbps, 80Gbps, and the full 96Gbps bandwidth.

The Unihertz Titan 2 brings back the QWERTY keyboard, pairs it with a square 4.5" display

Do you miss the BlackBerry Passport? Well, Unihertz is working on resurrecting the form factor with the Titan series.

The Titan 2 has a square 4.5” display with 1,440 x 1,440px resolution – just like the Passport. There’s actually a second display on the back too, a 2” 410 x 50px panel, although the utility of that is questionable beyond using it for main camera...

Realme P3 Ultra in for review

We had a quick hands-on with the Realme P3 Ultra in March but it's now time for a review. [#InlinePriceWidget,13734,1#] The phone has a standout design, no matter which color you go for. The Neptune Blue and Orion Red both feature vegan leather finishes, while this Glowing Lunar White is unique. The moon's surface is etched under the smooth back panel, and it's infused with "glowing material", which lights up in the dark, just like the watch hands of your old childhood watch. The Glowing Lunar model is impressive (the green effect is a bit overdone by our smartphone camera...
