HDMI 2.2 spec released with 96Gbps bandwidth and 16K support

After announcing it at CES earlier this year, HDMI Forum has finally released the latest HDMI 2.2 spec for device and accessory manufacturers. As with previous major HDMI revisions, the major update with version 2.2 is the increase in bandwidth. HDMI 2.2 supports up to 96Gbps bandwidth, twice that of HDMI 2.1 that came before it. However, since this is HDMI Forum we are talking about, and some amount of muddying of water is expected, HDMI 2.2 will also apply to devices supporting 64Gbps, 80Gbps, and the full 96Gbps bandwidth. As usual, there is a big attention-grabbing resolution...

The Unihertz Titan 2 brings back the QWERTY keyboard, pairs it with a square 4.5" display

Do you miss the BlackBerry Passport? Well, Unihertz is working on resurrecting the form factor with the Titan series. The latest is the Unihertz Titan 2, which is up on Kickstarter for a crowdfunding campaign. Well, it’s more of a pre-order – the $100,000 goal was unrealistically low and it has already been surpassed over 8 times, anyway. The Titan 2 has a square 4.5” display with 1,440 x 1,440px resolution – just like the Passport. There’s actually a second display on the back too, a 2” 410 x 50px panel, although the utility of that is questionable beyond using it for main camera...

Realme P3 Ultra in for review

We had a quick hands-on with the Realme P3 Ultra in March but it's now time for a review. [#InlinePriceWidget,13734,1#] The phone has a standout design, no matter which color you go for. The Neptune Blue and Orion Red both feature vegan leather finishes, while this Glowing Lunar White is unique. The moon's surface is etched under the smooth back panel, and it's infused with "glowing material", which lights up in the dark, just like the watch hands of your old childhood watch. The Glowing Lunar model is impressive (the green effect is a bit overdone by our smartphone camera...

Honor Magic V5 official renders unveiled, insanely thin at 8.8mm

Honor is set to unveil its Magic V5 flagship foldable in China on July 2 and we got a design reveal ahead of the big event.

Weekly poll results: iOS 26 is a mixed bag, new features liked better than the new look

Apple has divided opinions with its new iOS 26 – it introduced new features, but is also a part of a wider effort to unify the user experience across all Apple products. As we noted in last week’s poll, the new OS version is only available as a developer beta – an open beta should be out in a few weeks, the stable release will likely coincide with the arrival of the iPhone 17 series. What does the poll show? Around half of voters have found something to like in the iOS 26 update. That said, that was mostly due to the new features introduced in this version. As for Liquid Glass, the...

Apple starts displaying energy efficiency labels on iPhone and iPad's pages in EU

Starting June 20, manufacturers are required to sell their smartphones and tablets in the European Union (EU) with an energy efficiency label in the box. We don't know about the boxes, but with the regulation in effect, Apple has started displaying this label on iPhone and iPad's pages on its website in EU countries. If you visit an iPhone or iPad's main product page or purchase page, you'll see a colorful little icon, and upon clicking it, you'll see the energy label of that product. iPhone 16 Pro's product page on Apple Ireland's website • iPhone 16 Pro's purchase page on Apple...

iPhone 17 to come in two new colors

According to a new report, Apple is internally testing two new colors for the vanilla iPhone 17 - Purple and Green. However, the report claims that although Apple is considering the two colorways, only one will make the cut. Currently, the Purple one is reportedly the frontrunner. Meanwhile, the company is considering a Sky Blue color for the iPhone 17 Pro to freshen things up. Even though iPhone colors usually generate a lot of buzz, it's hard to beat the news about the display upgrade. Earlier this month, a report came in suggesting that the iPhone 17 and the 17 Air (likely to...
