Canalys Smartphone market in Southeast Asia sees 12% growth in Q1 2024

Canalys' latest market report on the Southeast Asian smartphone market shows a healthy 12% growth year-on-year in the first quarter of this year. Analysts say it's the first sign of recovery after a rather difficult 2023. Smartphone manufacturers shipped 23.5 million units, but they are still below pre-2023 levels. One of the main driving forces of the Q1 success is Ramdan in some markets like Indonesia and Malaysia, while other companies like Transsion benefited from markets like Philippines and Indonesia where the sub-$100 segments saw a revival.

Galaxy Z Fold6 and Z Flip6 to employ only Snapdragon, more case renders surface

According to a source close that spoke to Korean publication TheElec, Samsung is once again betting on a single-chip strategy for its upcoming foldables, the Galaxy Z Fold6 and Z Flip6. This report refutes earlier leaks suggesting Samsung is finally implementing the dual-chip strategy with its foldable handsets. However, it is quick to point out that the decision to go for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip instead of mixing it with the Exynos 2400 has nothing to do with performance concerns, and it has everything to do with cost-effectiveness.

Apple is challenging the €1.8 billion antitrust fine related to a Spotify complaint

This March Apple was hit with a massive €1.8 billion fine ($2B) over a complaint initially filed by Spotify back in 2019. The complaint was simple – Apple is charging app makers a 30% tax when a user subscribes to their service for a year and 15% for subsequent years. That gave an unfair advantage to Apple Music over Spotify as the latter was forced to raise subscription costs to cover the tax. Apple isn’t going to just pay up, though. Bloomberg reports that Apple has filed its own suit with the EU’s General Court in Luxembourg to try and overturn the hefty fine. Apple suggests that the...

Redmi Pad Pro in for review

This is the Redmi Pad Pro and it's a big-screen tablet at an affordable price (starting from around $250). It ships with a single accessory - a USB-A to USB-C cable, but you can opt to equip it with a number of official accessories. The first is the Redmi Pad Pro Cover - a simple but rugged cover that can stand the tablet up in landscape mode.

The iPhone SE 4 to bring a price hike

According to a tipster on X, the iPhone SE 4 will be priced slightly higher than its predecessor, but Apple will aim for a price tag below $499.

And if all goes to plan, the device will debut sometime in 2025. Perhaps using a more modern iPhone 14-inspired design and the inclusion of Face ID will justify the price hike. We can't know for sure, but it's been a long time since...

Deals: Pixel 8a paired with $100 gift card, but Galaxy A35, S23 FE and OnePlus 12R prices fall

So, the Google Pixel 8a costs $500, huh? Looking at the poll from last week, most people think that this is too expensive for a mid-ranger.
