Google's Circle to Search is now available in Chrome

Google's Circle to Search AI feature debuted earlier this year on Samsung's Galaxy S24 family, and now you can use it even on your computer in Chrome. The feature has been made available in both ChromeOS and the Chrome browser. There is, however, a (slight) catch. Or two. First, we're talking about the ChromeOS 127 beta build, and the Chrome 128 beta for Windows or macOS. Second, Circle to Search isn't actually labeled that, for whatever reason. Instead, it's called "Search with Google Lens". If you are on the beta track for either ChromeOS or Chrome for Windows or macOS, you can...

nubia Z60 Ultra Leading Version in for review

The nubia Z60 Ultra arrived in December 2023 as one of the first phones with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset. The next month Samsung announced its Galaxy S24 lineup with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy chipset, which features slightly higher clock speeds. Either an exclusivity deal between Samsung and Qualcomm had ended, or the San Diego chipmaker has simply managed to produce enough units of the faster chipset as it's now also available for other makers. Obviously a reband was in order and it's now known as "Leading version" rather than "for Galaxy." nubia was quick to take advantage...

The company posted a teaser video on its Weibo channel, where a member of the TFBoys music band showcased the clamshell from all angles in a lovely Lime green color. The new phone will have a square cover display, alongside the camera island. The screen is relatively small in current terms, but is still bigger than what the Huawei Pocket foldables had. The whole teaser is a series of clicks and clacks, which make up the Morse code for the word "Flip." We can see the nova phone will have two cameras on the back, one...

Weekly poll: nubia Z60 Ultra Leading and Z60S Pro are here for your approval

This week nubia refreshed the Z60 Ultra and introduced a sequel to the Z50S Pro. These two have unique designs that make them look like a futuristic camera and they have the hardware to back it up. Plus, they bring Snapdragon 8-series performance at a price that undercuts most flagships. The nubia Z60 Ultra Leading is mostly the same as the original Z60, except it switches over to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SM8650-AC, which is often dubbed “leading edition” by Chinese makers. This model also changes out the sensor inside the 35mm main camera – the nubia Z series is old school like that,...

Weekly poll results: the HMD Skyline could be the company's first own hit

HMD stopped using the Nokia brand for its recent Android phones, but it still reaches into the bag of old Nokia designs – and this time it pulled out a winner. The HMD Skyline is attracting a lot more attention than any other phone that it has produced since maybe the first one. And it’s mostly positive attention too, though the comment section was not without critical voices. Let’s start with the good news – people love what they see. Resurrecting Nokia N9/Lumia design and painting it in bold colors is proving to be a successful strategy (and it is not unlike what Motorola has been...

Our Xiaomi Mix Flip battery life test results are out

The Xiaomi Mix Flip was introduced last week in China, and we brought a phone for a review. We just completed the battery test and we are ready to share our findings. The clamshell has one of the biggest batteries on the market, a 4,780 mAh cell. The phone also comes with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip and two AMOLED displays that should be moderately power-hungry. With that in mind, we established an 11:58h Active Use score, which is less than the year-old Find N3 Flip and the premium Razr 50 Ultra, both of which have a more power-hungry chipset. The 21:20h of call time result is a...

Nothing is launching the Phone (2a) Plus on July 31, and it will be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7350 SoC paired with up to 12GB of RAM.
