Samsung Galaxy M11 receives Android 12 update with One UI 4.1

Samsung's One UI 4.1 update train has reached the Galaxy M11 today, which tells you something about how many devices the company has gone through already - it's now at the phase where it's updating low-end phones from two years ago. That's exactly what the M11 is, and it's now receiving the update to Android 12 with the latest version of Samsung's skin on top. So far the update only seems to have been released in Vietnam, but surely more countries and territories will follow in due course. It usually takes Samsung a couple of weeks to truly make such an update global, but the...

OnePlus 10RT gets certified on its way to India

Last year the OnePlus 9R was followed by the 9RT a few months down the line, and we have all the reasons to believe that the same will happen this year.

Apple Japan bumps iPhone 13 lineup pricing amidst inflation of yen against the dollar

Beginning Thursday, Apple Japan has updated its pricing for all iPhone models. Some models have increased in price by as much as 20%, which could reflect the weakening of the Japanese Yen against the US Dollar, which has lost about 15% of its value to the dollar in the last three months. The iPhone 13 Pro, for instance, is now priced at 144,800 yen (~$1,066) up from 122,800 yen (~$904) for the 128GB storage option.

On July 12 Nothing will finally fully unveil the phone (1), but it looks like it might not be the only product that's going to get stage time on that occasion. Prolific leakster Mukul Sharma has dug up a picture of some Nothing ear (1) TWS earbuds that look almost identical to the existing model, but not entirely. These look like a minor refresh, and with almost a year having passed since the ear (1) came out, that's not very surprising.

Nothing confirms Snapdragon 778G+ chipset for the phone (1)

Today he confirmed that the device is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G+ premium mid-range SoC. This is in fact no surprise, since a Nothing phone (1) prototype was spotted on Geekbench with that exact chipset a few days ago, but it's nice to have the official confirmation.

Android 13 beta 3.3 is purely intended to fix bugs and does not bring any new features. Some of the fixes include a conflict that was occurring between the keyboard and the launcher, and another bug where gestures like swiping “back” would cause the UI to crash – and thus not make for a great beta experience.

Prices of desktop GPUs have started to normalize, but it seems that Nvidia still feels there is a need for something cheap and easy to produce - component maker Colorful has let it slip that there is an Nvidia GTX 1630 on the way. This will be a cut down on the previous base model, the 1650. This means it is based on the Turing architecture from 2019. The difference between the GTX 16 and the RTX 20 series is that the former lacks ray tracing and tensor hardware.

Week 25 in review: Poco F4 and X4 GT are official

Welcome to the end of week number 25. Let's take a look back. Samsung has apparently accumulated some 50 million unsold smartphones. The A-series is reportedly mostly to blame, failing to meet its sales targets for one reason or another. 50 million is around 18% of Samsung's planned shipment target this year, which isn't good at all. Samsung made around 20 million units per month early this year, but that dropped to around 10 million in May. This could be a reaction to having too many units stuck in inventory and seeing low demand. The lower demand has also made Samsung cut its component...

Weekly poll results: most people are fine with 256GB storage on their phones

Last week we asked you how much storage you use on your phone. It turns out most can fit within 256GB total. “Total” because we also queried you about your thoughts on microSD slots on phones. Here’s the breakdown. Just over 40% of people can squeeze in 128GB or less. That said, 36% need at least 256GB. This means 128GB models are still viable, but you should be looking at a phone with more room if you want to keep it for a long time.
