Google Pixel Watch is reportedly using an Exynos chip from 2018
During its Google I/O conference this year, the company officially confirmed that it's working on a smartwatch and will be released within a couple of months. However, the tech giant wasn't very vocal about details, so we are left with a lot of questions. Luckily, 9to5Google's sources learned that the watch will be running on the Exynos 9110 SoC. For context, this is a 2018 chipset based on a 10nm manufacturing process with two Cortex-A53 cores. A more recent alternative would be the Exynos W920 platform powering the Galaxy Watch4 series. It makes use of a much more efficient 5nm node...

Samsung Galaxy M22 receives Android 12 update with One UI 4.1
As we've said multiple times, Samsung has gotten really good at issuing timely updates to big new Android versions for its devices, but it's not all roses - due to the sheer number of phones it launches each year, the process inevitably takes many, many months. Cue the fact that the Galaxy M22 launched in October of 2021 (when Android 12 was already official), is only now getting to the front of the line and finally receiving its taste of Android 12 with One UI 4.1 on top. So at least it's getting the latest iteration of Samsung's skin. It also gets the April 2022 security patch, which...

Nokia X20 gets its first Android 13 Developer Preview
Earlier this week during its I/O developer conference, Google released the second beta of Android 13 to its Pixels. At the same time, a bunch of other Android device makers also launched their respective Android 13 beta or developer preview programs. While the announcement included the mention of Nokia, at that time its developer website hadn't been updated so we didn't know what device from HMD Global's stable would be the blessed one. That all changes today, and it's the Nokia X20 that you can now test with Android 13 on board. Note however that HMD refers to this as a developer preview,...

Elon Musk says Twitter takeover is on hold but he's still committed to the acquisition
Remember when Elon Musk announced he was buying Twitter and that bombshell then reverberated across the social network for days on end? Well, today is another interesting day in this saga, as Musk revealed that the deal is "temporarily on hold", pending "details supporting calculation that spam/fake accounts do indeed represent less than 5% of users". If you're confused as to what he's talking about, a Reuters report came out earlier this month saying that Twitter itself estimates spam and fake accounts to comprise less than 5% of users. Now, however, Musk seems to be unconvinced that it's...

Google teases Pixel 7 and 7 Pro, Pixel Watch, and Pixel Tablet

Let's start with the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro, which will both be powered by the next generation of the Google Tensor SoC. The company's showing us their backs, and while the 'visor' design from the Pixel 6 family is intact, the camera bar itself is now made from polished aluminum which runs right into the frame on both sides, for a more integrated look.

Google announces new Wallet app with support for digital IDs

So, with that in mind, say hello to the new Google Wallet. This will be available for Android and Wear OS devices in the coming weeks in "over 40 countries".

Admittedly the latter is a broad category but is it basically a device that connects to a Type-C port and offers more ports and...

Weekly poll results: the vivo X80 Pro is shaping up to be a winner, the X80 gets lost in its shadow
We have a winner – the vivo X80 Pro convinced 1 in 3 readers to vote in its favor in last week’s poll. That number could double, given the right price. The phone is available only in China right now, but that is changing – the global launch is today (May 8). Last year the X70 Pro launched at ₹47,000 ($630/€545 at the time). A potential issue for would-be buyers is that vivo tends to focus on the Asian market and doesn’t bring its flagships to all markets that it is present in (e.g. Europe is still looking at the X60 Pro, the X70 Pro is nowhere to be seen half a year later).
