Tecno is becoming ever more popular with fans of affordable but capable phones. And with good reason. The maker's recent efforts have all been offered hardware that punches well above its price class. The Tecno Camon 19 is the latest in this line of devices.

The Tecno Camon 19 comes in a package with an 18W charger, USB cable, and a case (which is on the phone in the image below). Specs-wise, the Tecno Camon 19 sounds solid,...

Elon Musk pulls out of $44 billion Twitter deal, social network plans to pursue legal action

Tesla CEO Mr. Elon Musk announced his plans to buy social networking site Twitter in April for $44 billion but later put the acquisition on hold as he awaited more data about the spam bots on Twitter. While Musk said the deal was not out of question and could happen at a lower price, the world's richest person is now terminating the deal. Musk's team, in a filing with USA's Securities and Exchange Commission, cites "material breach of multiple provisions" of the agreement and "false and misleading representations" by Twitter as the reasons for the deal's termination. The social network is...

LG V50 ThinQ 5G is now receiving its Android 12 update

LG's mobile division might be dead, but it's still got some zombie thing going - it promised to update some of its last devices to Android 12 this year, and it's very slowly delivering on that promise. Following the Velvet and the V60 ThinQ, today the LG V50 ThinQ 5G has started receiving the update to Android 12. This update was supposed to happen by the end of June, but it apparently got slightly delayed. Sure, Android 13 might be just around the corner at this point, but it's still commendable to see a company that quit the mobile game not forget its customers from days past. The V50...

Vivo Y77 launches in China with Dimensity 930

The Vivo Y77 is official. And if that sounds familiar, that's because it's the second time it's happened this week, but that first Y77 5G launched in Malaysia was a different phone in terms of both design and specifications. Apparently Vivo felt that name is so cool that it was going to reuse it even if it causes a confusing mess. The Chinese Vivo Y77 doesn't officially have 5G in its name, even though it supports the latest networks. It's running on a better MediaTek Dimensity 930 chipset compared to the Dimensity 810 on its international counterpart. It's paired with either 6GB, 8GB, or...

Nothing phone (1) will support 33W wired charging

As you may have noticed already, the Nothing phone (1)'s specs keep appearing one after the other, day after day, whether by official teaser or - like in this case - through other means. A listing of the device on the TUV Sud website reveals that it will be capable of charging at up to 11V 3A, which equals 33W. That's definitely not going to place the Nothing phone (1) at the forefront of quick charging these days, but considering its mid-range chipset and positioning it probably won't feel entirely out of place either.

Flashback: a decade of Sony Xperia displays

Sony phones don’t sell in huge volumes, but they have made a name for themselves. More often than not it is their displays that have made them so famous – whether it’s the first 4K displays or just how small they are, we usually have a lot to talk about when a new Sony phone arrives. We decided to group the phones in three categories: flagship, premium and mini. The Premium models used to be called that for a bit, though we’re counting the Z Ultra here as well.

Huawei Matebook 16s in for review

The Huawei Matebook 16s was launched in China back in May, and earlier this week it went global. The company was kind enough to send us a sample for review purposes, and it is finally with us. This is the current flagship laptop of Huawei, using the latest 12th gen Intel processors. There are three options - Core i5-12500H, Core i7-12700H and Core i9-12900H and our unit uses the middle one.
