Here's what the camera island on the upcoming vivo X80 Pro+ looks like

The upcoming vivo X80 family has been leaking left and right lately. Though mostly offering alleged specs details on the X80, X80 Pro and X80 Pro+ trio, we expect to launch later this month. We have had almost no actual sightings of these devices, though, and just a few hints at their design, like the recent singular image of the vivo X80 published on the Google Play Console. vivo X80 series leaked poster Today brings a rather blurry but very official-looking photo of what appears to be a banner for the vivo x80 series.

Flashback: the post-post-PC era

When Steve Jobs unveiled the iPad in 2010, he declared that the Post-PC era is upon us. A few months later at the D8 conference, Jobs expanded on that, saying that PCs will stick around but in a much diminished capacity, saying that “they’re going to be used by like one out of X people”. Most people will be using tablets as their primary computing device. Over a decade later it is clear that the PC isn’t going away.

Realme Q5 certified by TENAA and 3C, specs in tow

The Realme Q5 series is expected to drop very soon on April 20. Even though that date is right around the corner, there is still a lot of mystery shrouding the Realme Q5 line. We aren't even sure how many devices there will be. Though, we do know of a Pro model, which recently leaked in full and perhaps there will be a Realme Q5i as well. Naturally, a vanilla Realme Q5 is kind of a given, and it recently passed through TENAA and 3C for certification.

Apple Mac Studio is now our dedicated DaVinci Resolve machine

We're very serious about reviewing phones, both in written and video form. Our YouTube channel has grown to 1.5 million subscribers and we publish about three videos per week. To put things into perspective we churn out about 2 hours of video each month and we get that video from close to 5 hours of B-roll produced by our video crew. So it's very important that we have a streamlined workflow. We've strived to improve it constantly over the years. We won't get into too much detail, but we started off with Sony's Vegas editor, struggled for a few years with Adobe's Premiere, and have now...

OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite 5G is coming to India on April 28

An unannounced OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite 5G (try saying that three times in a row) is now listed on Amazon India with some details in tow. In no particular order, these include a 5,000 mAh battery and 33W SUPERVOOC fast charging and a look at what is likely the "signature" color option - Blue Tide.
