Motorola X70 Air Pro passes through TENAA ahead of its official announcement

Motorola is launching two high-end smartphones in the near future: the X70 Air Pro in China, and the Signature globally. They are both powered by the recently announced Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 SoC, so forgive us for assuming they might actually end up being the same device sold under two different names in different markets (just like the X70 Air is the Edge 70). Today the X70 Air Pro has been certified for sale in China by TENAA, and the listing has confirmed the use of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 SoC. The phone obviously supports 5G, and measures 162.1 x 76.4 x 7 mm, weighing 187g. Motorola...

I chose this phone for my daily driver mainly due to its versatile camera hardware. It has all the focal lengths I need, and the 4.2x telephoto camera uses a large 200MP sensor that allows for further cropping without sacrificing...

Motorola Signature to support a stylus

Motorola is getting ready to unveil its next top of the line smartphone, the Signature. The company has been teasing an announcement taking place on January 6, and this might be when the Signature finally becomes official. We saw the phone in leaked renders last month, and now we get a new promo shot, but this one comes with a twist: a stylus is shown in front of the phone, as you can see. This heavily implies that the Signature will have stylus support, and that's not surprising. In early December a rumor told us that the upcoming Motorola Edge 70 Ultra would support a stylus, and...

2025 Winners and losers: Honor

Winner: Honor Pad X9a and MagicPad 3 Honor made a few solid tablets in 2025, but the affordable Pad X9a and flagship MagicPad 3 were able to stamp their authority on markets such as Malaysia, where Honor was the number one tablet maker!

Here's what OpenAI's first hardware product designed by Jony Ive is rumored to be

Back in May, OpenAI acquired Jony Ive's startup io (yes that's really how it's spelled), part of his LoveFrom creative design company. io was working on a secretive hardware product, and now a new rumor tells us what it is. A pen. Obviously, this will be no ordinary pen. A past report described it as "contextually aware", and io is now part of OpenAI, so this will definitely be an AI pen. What will it do? Your guess is as good as ours. Interestingly, this will be just the first hardware product from OpenAI, but the company is working on two more, of which one is said to be a "to-go"...
