OnePlus 8 Pro gets torn down on video

A few days ago the OnePlus 8 Pro was announced, and it immediately starred in one of JerryRigEverything's trademark 'durability tests' on video. Now it's time for what is usually part two - namely, the teardown. This has been recorded on video too, of course. So if you derive pleasure from watching phone's insides being taken out one by one, then you're definitely going to enjoy this presentation. The OnePlus 8 Pro is harder to get into because of stronger adhesive, which is probably related to the handset's IP68 water and dust resistance. Zack from JerryRigEverything says this...

WhatsApp is working on allowing more than 4 people on a group video or audio call

With the current pandemic forcing a lot of people to stay at home, group video calls and even group audio calls have really taken off lately.

Leaked iPhone SE (2020) video ad is all about peeling off the protective film

Apple's biggest launch in a while is its smallest (and least fresh, design-wise) smartphone in a while. We're talking about the iPhone SE (2020), of course, which is already having stock issues in the US. Its popularity isn't very surprising considering its price (especially compared to other iPhones), and while Apple released a promo video for it on the day of the announcement, we now have an upcoming video ad for you to watch. This hasn't yet been officially posted to any of Apple's accounts, but that's probably going to happen soon. It seems to be an ad made by Apple in...

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip update improves Flex Mode for the camera

Samsung's having a big day for updates today. Alongside the One UI 2.1 release for the Galaxy Note10 Lite, the company has also started sending out a new software version for the Galaxy Z Flip. This brings with it the April security patches, but also enhances Flex Mode for the camera. Before when using the built-in camera app in Flex Mode, the viewfinder would always be on the top side of the phone, with the controls on the lower side. But after you install the new version, you'll be able to flip that (excuse the pun). You just need to double tap on the preview window when you are in Flex...

Samsung Galaxy Note10 Lite gets One UI 2.1 and April security patch

Last week Samsung started rolling out the update to One UI 2.1 for the Galaxy S10 Lite, and now it's time for the Note10 Lite to receive the same treat. These phones were announced at the same time, so in a way it's not at all surprising for these software rollouts to go out so soon after each other. The new update for the Note10 Lite also packs the April 2020 security patch level. The new software version is N770FXXU2BTD4 for models in Spain and the UAE, which is where the new release was spotted so far. As usual, expect it to reach more geographical areas in the near future.

Oppo A92s listed on official website with 120Hz screen and Dimensity 800 chipset

Oppo A92s surfaces on Oppo's official store in China and in JD.com with full specs and renders. And it turns out, the rumors were right as the phone sports a 120Hz display and runs on the new MediaTek Dimensity 800 chipset. The specs page doesn't explicitly say "Dimensity 800" but given that the SoC supports 5G and reads "MT6873V", it's safe to assume it's one.

iPhone 12 Pro Max design fully revealed through leaked CAD renders

The new CAD renders reveal lots of new design changes, but it's also important to note that the design you see here is about 70% finished.

TSMC changes its forecast for 2020 due to COVID-19

TSMC's forecast at the beginning of this year looked pretty promising with estimated 8% market growth excluding the memory chip sector. But during yesterday's investors conference, the company lowered its foundry market growth forecast to somewhere between 7 and 13%, down from 17%. TSMC was forced to adopt "a more conservative view of 2020" due to the decreasing demand of mobile devices from the end consumer due to the COVID-19 outbreak. The company expects this to be an issue for months to come. Market analysts cite 7-9% worldwide market decrease in smartphone sales throughout the...

Honor 9X Lite is now official in Finland

Two months ago we spotted a phone called Honor 9X Lite, and now it surprisingly appeared in Finland. The device shares a lot of features with the Honor 8X like some hardware and the overall footprint, but there are some improvements like a 48 MP camera in a setup with a completely new design, and a fancy paint job. The Honor 9X Lite sticks to the dated Kirin 710 chipset, but there is a simple reason - the platform is approved for Google services and Honor doesn't want to miss to cash on that. Memory-wise, the phone is offered with 4 GB RAM and 128 GB storage, and there is room for...

OnePlus launching a mystery product tomorrow in China, could it be the OnePlus Z?

OnePlus released its latest flagship lineup just the other day globally but the Chinese event is scheduled for tomorrow, April 17. And while everyone thought the Chinese event would feature the same lineup as the global one, the company teased the arrival of a new mystery product tomorrow. Our initial thought after reading about this was the OnePlus Z or the OnePlus 8 Lite as it was initially referred to. But by announcing it in China and not saying anything about it on the global event could mean two things. It's either because of supply shortages and the company has decided to...

Realme X50 Youth spotted in 3C listing with 5G and 30W fast charging

Back in December, we came across a certification for the Realme X50 Youth, which is a more affordable version of the standard Realme X50 5G. Now, the same phone with the RMX2052 model number was spotted in the database of China's 3C agency, confirming it will carry 5G connectivity and 30W (5V@6A) fast charging just like the regular X50 5G. Realme X50 Youth certification Other than that we don't have much to work with but based on rumors, the X50 Youth should retain most of the features from the X50 5G including a 6.57-inch IPS display with a punch-hole cutout and triple camera...

Apple iPhone SE (2020) has 3 GB RAM, 1821 mAh battery

Apple finally introduced the iPhone SE (2020) with an A13 Bionic chipset and an improved camera. The company kept its tradition not to reveal RAM and battery capacity of its devices, but thanks to a listing at China Telecom's website, we got the details. According to the carrier, the new iPhone has 3GB RAM, which is an increase over the 2GB of the iPhone 8, but lower than the 4GB in the other A13 phones in the iPhone 11 family. However, the power cell remains 1,821 mAh - exactly the same as the iPhone 8. Other specs that the iPhone SE (2020) inherited from the 2017 flagship are the...

Nokia 9.3 PureView's color options teased by Juho Sarvikas

A Nokia-specific leakster account has been talking about the color options of the company's upcoming Nokia 9.3 PureView flagship. Somewhat surprisingly the poll was acknowledged by Juho Sarvikas, Nokia's CPO, who dropped a pretty massive hint about the phones' colors. He says his favorite options are Polar Night as well as a "bold and lighter" shade similar to the copper hues HMD has done previously. And when the colors rank so highly with a high-level executive, we can expect them to make it to the final product. I don't know whats going on here (as usual). I'm more like Polar...

Huawei nova 7 series launch date confirmed

Huawei was rumored to expand the nova 7 lineup with the nova 7, nova 7 SE and nova 7 Pro on April 23 and now the company took it to Weibo to confirm announcement. Huawei's Weibo post also includes a poster having a silhouette of a smartphone with a rectangular camera bump on the back, but it's unclear whether this is the vanilla nova 7, SE or the Pro version. Huawei hasn't revealed any details of the nova 7 trio yet, but from previous leaks, we know the regular nova 7, nova 7 SE and nova 7 Pro will be powered by the Kirin 985, 820 and 990 5G, respectively.

Apple kills the iPhone 8, stops selling the iPhone 8 Plus

Now that the 2020 iPhone SE is official, Apple has decided to kill the iPhone 8. First of all, yes, the company was still selling the iPhone 8, all the way up until today. Second, this makes sense when you think about it, as the iPhone SE is basically just an iPhone 8 with the latest A13 chipset and better camera software. And slightly differing color options. It's also cheaper than the iPhone 8 used to be, so there's really no point in these two competing against each other in the company's roster. Apple has also stopped selling the iPhone 8 Plus, but the situation is a bit more...

vivo NEX 3 5G finally receives Android 10 update

Today vivo started rolling out the update to Android 10 for the NEX 3 5G. A closed beta testing phase that accepted only a few units started about one month ago, and it seems like the testing went smoothly, as now we're treated to the finalized release. The NEX 3S 5G launched with Android 10 on board recently, and as this is just a NEX 3 with the Snapdragon 865 chipset and a new color version, it stands to reason that vivo didn't have to do a lot of software tweaking for this rollout. vivo NEX 3 5G running Android 10 with Funtouch 10 Of course it's nothing close to 'vanilla'...

Honor 30's Kirin 985 chipset gets benchmarked, scores slightly better than the Kirin 820

Today Huawei's sub-brand Honor took the wraps off of the 30 series - comprised of the eponymous Honor 30, but also the 30 Pro and 30 Pro+. The Honor 30 is powered by the brand new Kirin 985 chipset, which hasn't been featured on any other devices before - unlike the Kirin 990 5G that's in the Honor 30 Pro and Pro+. Given its name, you'd expect its performance to be incredibly close to that of the Kirin 990, but it unfortunately looks like that's not the case. In fact, it's closer to the 980, but doesn't even match that. The Kirin 985 seems to be somewhere in between the Kirin 820 and the...
