Samsung Galaxy Watch FE is on the way

Samsung is working on a Galaxy Watch FE, which means 2024 could be more FE-ified than any other year before it, considering we've also recently heard mumblings about a Galaxy Z Fold FE and Galaxy Z Flip FE and the S24 FE arriving too. The Watch FE is said to have specs very similar to those of the Galaxy Watch4 from 2021, which is anything but encouraging-sounding. A while back a rumor claimed Samsung would launch a Galaxy Watch4 (2024) model, but it looks like this has since been renamed as Galaxy Watch FE. Samsung Galaxy Watch4 The Watch FE will have the model numbers SM-R866F,...

Google's Phone app will soon let you look up unknown numbers

You have a missed call, but it's not from one of your contacts, just a random number. Before deciding whether to call back, wouldn't you want to know exactly who called? That's the idea behind services like Truecaller, and now Google seems to be wanting to join the 'unknown number lookup' game inside its Phone app. An option to do just that, labeled as "Lookup" under numbers from your call log that aren't in your contacts, has been spotted in the Google Phone app beta version 127.0.620688474. When you tap on "Lookup", you get a list of apps on your device that can handle the 'Web...

Xiaomi 14 Ultra vs. Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra

With the recent global release of the Xiaomi 14 Ultra, those on a quest for the ultimate cameraphone are presented with another option. Coming from a lineage of camera excellence, the Xiaomi builds on it with seemingly minor but, in fact, tangible improvements in the telephoto capabilities. Also in the zoom department is where the latest top-end Samsung made its most significant generational change. The Galaxy S24 Ultra replaced the old model's 10x zoom unit with a larger-sensor 5x one, making a comparison with the Xiaomi all the more natural. The Galaxy is quite possibly the most...

Nothing Ear and Nothing Ear (a) are the earbuds launching on April 18

Nothing has recently revealed that it's announcing something on April 18, and today the company has let us know exactly what to expect: the Nothing Ear and Nothing Ear (a). Those are not typos, we're not talking about the Nothing Ear (3). Ahead of this launch, the company has decided to reset its naming scheme and strip back the numbers it has so far been using to underscore each generation of each product. By giving up on the numbers, Nothing says it can "center the focus around the product and the unique experience it delivers for each user". We started Nothing with audio in 2021 and...

Samsung acknowledges Galaxy S23 touchscreen issue on One UI 6.1, says it's Google's fault

Samsung started rolling out the update to One UI 6.1 for the Galaxy S23 family in late March, and since getting it, a lot of people have been complaining about touchscreen issues. Namely, the touchscreen on these devices sometimes doesn't register touch input properly, and one has to tap multiple times to get a touch registered. Naturally, this is extremely annoying, and now Samsung has finally acknowledged the problem, but there's a twist. According to the Korean company, this is pretty much Google's fault, as apparently the issue is being caused by the Google app's Discover feed, which...

Is the Google Pixel 8a hiding in plain sight?

We know the Pixel 8a is coming and we have a good idea of what to expect - Tensor G3 chip, 8 GB of RAM, 128/256 GB of storage, 120 Hz display with 1,400 nits of peak brightness. It will look very similar to the Pixel 8, and it will likely be a bit more expensive than the 7a. However, if this leak proves correct, Google may be closer to announcing the 8a than we expected. A Google Fi Wireless ad that seemingly shows the Pixel 8a front and center. The reasoning is that the Porcelain phone doesn't have the mic hole in the same spot as the Pixel 8 (between the cameras and the LED). It...
