Our Poco F6 video review is out

Poco unveiled the F6 and F6 Pro last week, and the two devices are already on sale. Having looked at the flagship (for Poco at least) F6 Pro in both written and video form, it's now time to turn our attention to the 'vanilla' F6 that is anything but 'vanilla' in reality. It has a lot of specs for the money, and even beats the Pro in some areas like the dust protection and Gorilla Glass version.

Reuters: TikTok is splitting its algorithm code to appease the US

TikTok is preparing a second version of its algorithm code for its 170 million users in the United States, reports Reuters. According to multiple sources who spoke to the agency, the work on splitting the code began late last year, predating the Congress-approved bill that wants ByteDance to sell its business in the United States or be banned from the country.

Specifically, at some point during the third week of July - so between July 15 and July 21. Assuming this rumor pans out, this means the Nord 4 will be announced almost exactly one year after its predecessor, the Nord 3. OnePlus Ace 3V The Nord 4 is expected to be a rebranded Ace 3V, which debuted in China in March. Thus, it should be powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 chipset, the best performing...

Google Pixel 8a vs. Pixel 8

Google has the habit of dropping an 'a' model some time later than the regular flagship duo and such is the case now with the Pixel 8a. Sure, if you already have the Pixel 8, you don't need to be contemplating much around this time, but if you're in the market for a new Pixel, things get more complicated. So we figured we'd put together a summary of how the 8a is similar to its more esteemed stablemate and how the two differ, possibly helping you decide for yourself.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 leaks yet again in full frontal image

Just a few hours ago an image showing a part of the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold6's back leaked, following another leak yesterday which showed us the top side of its front. Now a new image has been outed and this one shows us the entire front of the device, compared to its predecessor (which is on the left) for good measure. As was already obvious from yesterday's leak, the Fold6 will adopt a more squared-off design, reminiscent of Samsung's Galaxy S24 Ultra, with corners that are less rounded than the Fold5's. The bezels for the cover screen seem to have been slightly reduced as well,...
