Realme V5 5G may launch globally as Realme 7 5G

The Realme 7 series currently consists of the vanilla 7, 7 Pro and 7i. Now it appears a fourth one called Realme 7 5G will soon join the lineup as it has been certified by Thailand's NBTC. However, the Realme 7 5G won't be an entirely new smartphone. NBTC revealed it sports model designation RMX2111, which was previously associated with the Realme V5 5G that was unveiled in August and is currently only available in China. The certifying authority doesn't reveal any specs of the Realme 7 5G, but if it is indeed a rebranded V5 5G for the global market, then you can expect it to come...

There's a purple Sony Xperia 5 II in Japan

Sony's Xperia 5 II is theoretically available in four colors across the globe: black, grey, blue, and pink. That said, not all of those are necessarily up for grabs in all markets.

It sits calmly in its roster alongside the four other colorways, looking pretty while it's at it (although the grey fingerprint sensor does stand out in a rather weird way). As you might have guessed, on the...

That’s not too long ago, but those 8th generation Intel Core processors do feel quite old already. But there are no Intels anymore, Apple’s petite computer is now powered by its own silicon. Yes, the new Apple M1 chipset that is also at the heart of the new MacBook Air and Pro. Apple’s testing shows that the CPU delivers 3x the CPU performance of those old Intels. And those old chips...
