Our Google Pixel 7a video review is up

The annual mid-range Google Pixel phone is arguably one of the most anticipated budget smartphones on the market and this year's Pixel 7a comes really close to the vanilla Pixel 7 in terms of features. However, beneath the surface, the Pixel 7a is just as capable. The handset sports Tensor G2 SoC, just like the Pixel 7, offers an excellent camera experience, and offers the same battery capacity as its more expensive sibling, while being slightly more compact. In any case, the device packs a serious punch and can challenge significantly more expensive handsets in some aspects, so...

Report: Pixel Watch 2 ditches Exynos for Snapdragon

A new report sheds first light on the Google Pixel Watch 2, which is due in the Fall alongside the Pixel 8 series. Per this report, Google's second-gen smartwatch will make the move from Samsung's Exynos chipset to the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon W5 generation. Whether it's the Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 or the Snapdragon W5+ Gen 1, we're looking at a 4nm chip with four Cortex-A53 cores - a significant improvement to the Pixel Watch's 10nm Exynos 9110, which has just two Cortex-A53 cores. The W5+ has a special co-processor for a more efficient Always-On display and other features. The spec...

Apple Reality Pro to bring dual 4K displays

The Apple AR/VR headset, reportedly named Reality Pro, will be announced on June 5. According to Ross Young, CEO of Display Supply Chain Consultants (DSCC), the headset will have two 1.41” micro OLEDs, bringing a 4,400 ppi resolution and over 5,000 nits of brightness. In a follow-up tweet, the analyst said the resolution should be “4K per eye”. Simple math reveals that with a 1.41” diagonal and a circular/square display, the side is 1”, and the resolution is 4,000 x 4,000 pixels per display. These numbers are impressive because the Meta Quest Pro's resolution is 1,800 x 1,920 per eye,...

Realme C53 launches with 6.74" display and 5,000mAh battery

Realme just launched the C53 in Malaysia – a large, affordable handset for the entry-level segment. It’s already available through Lazada at MYR 550 with 6/128GB configuration. For comparison, the slightly more capable C55 sells for MYR 700 with the same memory configuration. We’ll let you in on a little secret – the Realme C53 is essentially identical to the Realme Narzo N53 that launched in India a couple of weeks ago. That one had a 4/64GB base model, but the 6/128GB one is priced at INR 11,000, which converts to $133. The price of the C53 is slightly lower in US dollars, $120. Here’s...

vivo V29 Pro teaser reveals the most important specs

Back in early March, vivo released the V27 Pro. Now, mere weeks later, the Chinese company is ready to unveil the V29 Pro. We're not sure what's going on here - normally jumping a couple of numbers forward is what successors do in vivoland, but a new release so soon is pretty weird. Regardless, vivo Philippines put up a teaser page for the upcoming V29 Pro, which is "coming soon". Thankfully, that page reveals most of the handset's main specs, so let's go through them and see how this model compares to the V27 Pro, at least on paper. The V29 Pro comes with a 6.7-inch 1080p 120 Hz...

Google developed a second foldable alongside the Pixel Fold but canceled it

If you heard rumors that Google was working on not one but two foldable smartphones in the past few months (and years), it turns out those mumblings were actually true, despite the fact that the company only eventually announced one of them, namely the Pixel Fold. Apparently there was a second foldable smartphone created by the same team that was in charge of the Pixel Fold. This other device apparently "wasn't good enough" which is why it was eventually canceled and never made it to market. The team felt like it should only launch devices that are good enough or better than what is out...

Yet another analyst confirms larger screens for iPhone 16 Pro models

Apple's iPhone 16 Pro lineup for 2024 will have bigger displays. Ross Young first claimed this earlier this month and Ming-Chi Kuo chimed in a few days after, both saying the same thing - bigger screens for the Pro models in the iPhone 16 lineup. Mark Gurman's Sunday newsletter further confirmed these claims. However, there's no clear consensus on how much bigger the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max will be compared to their predecessors. Gurman thinks the increase will be quite modest - "a couple tenths of an inch diagonally". Ross Young, on the other hand, cites 6.2 and 6.8", while Kuo...

ARM unveils the Cortex-X4, its fastest CPU yet, Cortex-A720 and A520 and 5th gen GPUs join it

ARM’s big.LITTLE CPU configurations have been around for years and the standard practice so far has been to have as many – or more – little cores as there are big cores. This is now changing with the introduction of ARM’s new designs. The high-power Cortex-X4, middle Cortex-A720 and small Cortex-A520 were unveiled today and will work in tandem to balance between performance and efficiency.

Weekly poll results: the Poco F5 gets showered with love, the F5 Pro proves less popular

As one commenter in last week’s poll says, the point of the Poco F-series is to deliver flagship performance at mid-range prices. Both the F5 models do that and while it’s not quite a 2023-level flagship performance, it comes really close. Of the pair, the vanilla Poco F5 is the breakout star – over half of the voters showed interest, it’s rare to see such a positive reaction. It beat its Pro sibling by a large margin, which is quite evident in the Pro’s own poll. The criticism of the F5 – it applies to the F5 Pro too – was predictable.

Sony announces the ZV-1 II vlogging camera for $900

Sony has been on a bit of roll lately with its new ZV range of vlogging cameras and announced the newest member today in the form of the ZV-1 II, which is the second generation model of the three year old ZV-1.
