Oppo Reno4 render showcases dual selfie cameras. Specs in toll.

The Oppo Reno4 and Reno4 Pro are on their way. We know that much for sure, with a June 5 unveiling event already scheduled. Thanks to some specs leaks and TENAA listings, we also have a pretty good understanding of what kind of specs to expect from both devices. The pair seems to share most of their internals and design. But, so far, most physical glimpses we have received have been of the Reno4 Pro variant. Enter a new, detailed render that showcases the vanilla Reno4 phone.

Google pushes back Android 11 Beta Launch Show once again

Google's Android 11 roadmap has been hitting all sorts of snags lately. The original Google I/O May 12 to May 14 event was canceled entirely, due to COVID-19. With it, the anticipated Android 11 Beta release morphed into a fourth Developer Preview build of the OS. The then scheduled June 1 Launch Show online event was later postponed to June 3. And in the latest development, that date has now been scrapped, as well, pushing the whole thing back an undetermined amount of time. We are excited to tell you more about Android 11, but now is not the time to celebrate. We are postponing the June...

Samsung Galaxy M01 and M11 launching in India on June 2

A few days ago, we heard quite a bit of chatter about the Galaxy M01 and M11 coming to India as early as the start of June. Now we have an even more specific date and time for the launch - June 2 at 12PM. The specific time is a bit unexpected, since it seems unlikely for Samsung to hold and actual event for the budget pair. Still, we could be treated to some formal unveiling, even if it is a scheduled promo video. Alternatively, you can expect to see listings go up online. We'll likely be keeping a closer eye on the Galaxy M01 ourselves, since, unlike the M11, its specs sheet is...

Vivo X50 Pro+ flagship pops-up in new leak

Vivo's new X50 family is just around the corner and should be officially unveiled on June 1.

In a fresh new plot twist, though, we now have an image detailing a third X50 Pro+ model. This one - a proper Snapdragon 865 flagship. vivo X50 lineup specs A potentially confusing revelation, this new development does explain certain inconsistencies from the last few days.

Samsung Galaxy Note20's battery could be 4,300 mAh after all

Samsung's Galaxy Note20+ will apparently have a 4,500 mAh battery, but what about the (slightly) smaller Note20? Back in April, word on the streets was 4,000 mAh. Now though, it looks like Samsung has managed to cram a bit more juice into the Note20's cell. After digging through the Chinese 3C's certification database, the enterprising folks at SamMobile have figured out that the model number for the battery that's going to be used in the Chinese version of the Note20 is EB-BN980ABY. Oh, and its capacity is 4,300 mAh. That's marginally better than what was thought before, and in...

Samsung Galaxy A71s 5G UW is headed to Verizon

Verizon is getting ready to add another mid-range Samsung smartphone to its 5G roster, complete with support for its ultrafast mmWave network of course. This will be a reinterpreted Galaxy A71, except, unlike the already announced A71 5G, Big Red's model will be powered by a different chipset and have a different name. It's going to be called Galaxy A71s 5G UW, to fit with what seems to be Verizon's newfound naming scheme (read: tacking "5G UW" to the end of device monikers left and right, where "UW" stands for "UltraWideband" aka mmWave).

LG ramping up production for iPad LCD panels

Industry insiders report that Apple has asked LG to ramp up production significantly of LCD panels for iPads. Reportedly, the surge in demand for big-screen devices during the pandemic in Asia has asked for an uptick in manufacturing. Initially, Apple lowered its orders to LG and its other suppliers as the company expected a significant drop in sales. But LG is forced to react fast to the changing demand so it doesn't fall behind the competition coming from Japan's Sharp and China's BOE Display. Source

OnePlus is disabling the Photochrome mode on the 8 Pro globally

OnePlus 8 Pro's Photochrome mode, which used an IR camera that can see through some plastics and thin clothing, proved controversial, so the company decided to disable it temporarily. Originally, it stated that this will affect only 8 Pro phones in China, but now an international update is rolling out that also disables the feature. Oxygen OS 10.5.9.IN11AA has only one item in its change log, which says that the Photocrhome filter will be "temporarily removed for adjustment". It promises that the feature will be re-enabled some time in June. The Photochrome mode on the OnePlus 8...

Apple starts selling refurbished iPhone XR units in the US

Apple kept the iPhone XR around as a lower cost alternative to the iPhone 11, knocking its price down to $600 - a sweet $150 discount from the original price and $100 less than the 11. However, it took until now for Apple to officially start selling refurbished XR units. A refurbished iPhone XR with 64GB storage will cost you $500. Then it's $540 for the 128GB model and $630 for the 256GB one (all of them unlocked). The color selection is limited by the storage you're looking for.

As expected Infinix unveiled its latest handsets in India today with the Hot 9 and Hot 9 Pro. The two phones are largely similar with the major difference being that the Pro has a 48MP primary camera instead of the 13MP shooter found on the vanilla model. Both the Hot 9 and Hot 9 Pro feature 6.6-inch displays with HD+ resolution, a 20:9 aspect ratio and a punch hole cutout in the top left corner for the 8MP selfie cam.

Qualcomm's new FastConnect chips bring blazing fast Wi-Fi 6E, BT5.2 with high quality audio

Now Qualcommm unveiled its first two 6E modems aimed at mobile applications - the FastConnect 6900 and 6700. Wi-Fi 6E can use almost 1,200MHz of spectrum, a significant expansion of what was already available. Better yet, the spectrum is fresh, that is there are no legacy devices getting in the way. This also means that the spectrum is contiguous (it doesn't have to go around legacy stuff), so it can fit a whopping seven 160 MHz channels - the 5 GHz band has room for only two. That...
