Android 14 could bring battery health feature to phones and tablets

iOS has a Battery Health feature that's missing as a native feature on Android to show the device battery's maximum remaining capacity. However, Android 14 could bring that to all Android devices when its final version is released. Former XDA-Developers' EIC Mishaal Rahman has revealed that Google added some new BatteryManager APIs to Android 14 beta. Two of them are public APIs - used to provide information about cycle count and charging status - while the rest are system APIs that report the device's manufacturing date, date of first use, charging policy, and state of health. Rahman...

Redmi 12's specs, renders, and retail box surface

Xiaomi sub-brand Redmi unveiled the Helio G85-powered Redmi 12C last December, and the company is expected to introduce the vanilla Redmi 12 soon. The Chinese brand hasn't divulged the Redmi 12's launch date yet, but its Portuguese division mistakenly listed the smartphone on its official website, revealing its specs, design, and price. The listing has been taken down, but thanks to Twitter user @kacskrz and German blog WinFuture, we know what the Redmi 12 will offer. The Redmi 12 will pack a 6.79" FullHD+ 90Hz LCD with a punch hole in the center for the 8MP selfie camera. And around...

Motorola Razr 40 series is launching soon in India

The Motorola Razr 40 and Razr 40 Ultra unveiled a couple of days ago will launch soon in India. This revelation comes from Motorola's Indian branch, which took to Twitter to tease the debut of its latest foldables in the world's second-largest smartphone market. Motorola is yet to explicitly confirm whether it will launch both Razr 40 series smartphones in India or just one. But, the source code of the promo page set up by the brand on its official Indian website includes "MOTOROLARAZR40FAMILY," which suggests the company could launch both smartphones in India.

vivo X Fold2 in for review

The vivo X Fold2 launched in April, but the company confirmed its plans to keep the smartphone in China. Despite the sad news for international fans of the brand and of the foldable scene, we received one unit in Blue to run our tests. This is our first encounter with OriginOS 3, but perhaps this is the best phone to review it on. The extra depth due to the phone being foldable gives us a lot of features to explore. But first, let’s see what's inside X Fold2's box. There is a Blue leather case for the back panel, matching the finish of the phone itself. Thanks to the transparent...

iOS 16 is now running on 81% of all iPhones

Apple's iOS has always been faster to reach devices than Android, and that's thanks to the fact that iOS is iOS, whereas Android has varying levels of manufacturer skins which need to be adapted to a new version. It also helps that Apple makes both the hardware and the software, undoubtedly. So it will come as no surprise to you then to hear that iOS 16, first released last September, is already on 81% of the iPhones in the wild. If we limit ourselves to only iPhones launched in the last for years, the figure grows to 90%. 13% of all iPhones (and 8% of the ones released in the past...

Samsung is working on a fix for blurry photos from the Galaxy S23 and S23+

Some owners of the Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23+ have been complaining of a soft area in their photos, something that came to be known as the “banana blur” due to its shape.

Today Mark Zuckerberg officially unveiled the Meta Quest 3 virtual and mixed reality headset. It will become available "in all countries where Meta Quest is currently supported" this fall for $499.99. The timing of the announcement might seem strange, considering we're months away from the release. That is, until you remember that Apple's WWDC is next week and rumor has it the company will finally introduce its long-awaited headset on that occasion. So, this is probably a case of Meta wanting to steal a little bit of Apple's thunder while it still can. So let's see if such ambitions...

LG Display to get larger share of iPhone 15 Pro's LTPO OLED displays

According to a new report from South Korean publication The Elec, LG Display will increase its LTPO OLED panel supply share for the iPhone 15 Pro series. LG has reportedly expanded its LTPO OLED production capacity to accommodate the large demand for this year’s iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max. This development could spell bad news for Samsung which reportedly supplied up to 70% of all OLED panels for last year’s iPhone 14 Pro series. As a reminder, LG suffered low LTPO OLED yield rates last year which limited the supply to Apple and in turn led to some shipment delays for the iPhone 14...

A few weeks ago, Nothing founder Carl Pei confirmed that the Phone (2) - arriving in July - will be powered by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC.

Our Google Pixel 7a video review is up

The annual mid-range Google Pixel phone is arguably one of the most anticipated budget smartphones on the market and this year's Pixel 7a comes really close to the vanilla Pixel 7 in terms of features. However, beneath the surface, the Pixel 7a is just as capable. The handset sports Tensor G2 SoC, just like the Pixel 7, offers an excellent camera experience, and offers the same battery capacity as its more expensive sibling, while being slightly more compact. In any case, the device packs a serious punch and can challenge significantly more expensive handsets in some aspects, so...

Apple Reality Pro to bring dual 4K displays

The Apple AR/VR headset, reportedly named Reality Pro, will be announced on June 5. According to Ross Young, CEO of Display Supply Chain Consultants (DSCC), the headset will have two 1.41” micro OLEDs, bringing a 4,400 ppi resolution and over 5,000 nits of brightness. In a follow-up tweet, the analyst said the resolution should be “4K per eye”. Simple math reveals that with a 1.41” diagonal and a circular/square display, the side is 1”, and the resolution is 4,000 x 4,000 pixels per display. These numbers are impressive because the Meta Quest Pro's resolution is 1,800 x 1,920 per eye,...

Apparently there was a second foldable smartphone created by the same team that was in charge of the Pixel Fold. This other device apparently "wasn't good enough" which is why it was eventually canceled and never made it to market. The team felt like it should only launch devices that are good enough or better than what is out...

As one commenter in last week’s poll says, the point of the Poco F-series is to deliver flagship performance at mid-range prices. Both the F5 models do that and while it’s not quite a 2023-level flagship performance, it comes really close. Of the pair, the vanilla Poco F5 is the breakout star – over half of the voters showed interest, it’s rare to see such a positive reaction. It beat its Pro sibling by a large margin, which is quite evident in the Pro’s own poll. The criticism of the F5 – it applies to the F5 Pro too – was predictable.
