Honor 400 also appears on Geekbench, confirms Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chip

The Honor 400 Pro appeared on Geekbench earlier this month, and now the vanilla Honor 400 has also gone through the benchmark. The listing revealed a major detail — the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chipset. We also saw 12 GB RAM and Android 15, but these features are hardly a surprise. The chipset is exactly the same as in the Honor 300, which never made it outside China. The 400 Pro is also running on last year's Qualcomm flagship chipset, inherited from the 300 Pro. We know these are entirely new phones from their model numbers - the Honor 400 is DNY-NX9. According to previous leaks, it...

Skype is shutting down today

It's the end of the road for Skype as today marks the official retirement of the legendary communication platform. Existing Skype users can migrate to Microsoft Teams (free) with their Skype credentials, contacts, and chat history automatically transferring to the new platform. Skype users can export their data until January 2026, after which it will be permanently deleted. Microsoft’s official reasoning for shutting down Skype is “streamlining our free consumer communications offerings so we can more easily adapt to customer needs”. Microsoft Teams (free) does come with a few...

vivo introduces iQOO Buds 1i with 50h battery life

The vivo brand iQOO launched a new pair of TWS earbuds over the weekend, called Buds 1i. This audio accessory is similar to the vivo Buds 3i sold in China, but features a stylish yellow and black color option. The iQOO Buds 1i are available in both China and abroad, but there are two different variants. The model sold in Indonesia offers a 50-hour battery life, while consumers in the domestic market must settle for only 45 hours. Interestingly, the vivo Buds 3i are also available (only in China) in these two battery configurations, which means the company has merely introduced a new...

Weekly poll: would you buy the OnePlus 13T (aka 13s)?

The OnePlus 13T went on sale in China this week and will be launching in India soon as the OnePlus 13s. This brings us back to the eternal question – do people actually want small phones? The answer, if you ask OnePlus, appears to be “no”. Company representatives have stated that the 13T/13s will not be sold in Europe, the US and Canada. OnePlus 13T That’s disappointing as the 13T is the company’s first small phone – since the OnePlus X, anyway. That one got buried and forgotten pretty quickly, though. Will the 13T follow the same fate? The company doesn’t seem to have much...

Weekly poll results: vivo X200 Ultra could have been a global hit, X200s would have done well

Last week’s poll shows that vivo has a hit on its hands with the X200 Ultra – which makes its reluctance to sell it globally even more confounding. Even the X200s did pretty okay, even though it’s a phone aimed at people who missed the original X200 launch. The vivo X200 Ultra had nearly half of the voters expressing their disappointment that the phone won’t be sold in their region. That is a lot of potential customers that vivo is ignoring – the X200 Pro is a great phone, but it’s not as great as the Ultra. A surprising number of people, one in five, are not discouraged so easily...

Deals: Poco F7 Pro and F7 Ultra get price cuts, CMF Phone 2 Pro goes on pre-order

The Poco F7 Pro has been around for a month now and it already has a €100 discount. This model falls in the “flagship killer” category with its Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset and 6.67” 1440p+ display (12-bit, Dolby Vision). It has a 6,000mAh battery with 90W fast charging and goodies like an ultrasonic fingerprint reader. The camera is fairly basic, though, with a 50MP main (1/1.55”, OIS) and an 8MP ultra-wide.

Thanks to various leaks, we already know a fair bit about the upcoming Oppo Reno14.

Samsung Galaxy A56 vs. Galaxy S24 FE

The hugely popular Samsung Galaxy A series got its annual overhaul recently. The headlining A56 didn't bring a whole lot of improvements over the previous generation, the most obvious being a chipset upgrade. Other than the A55 and the A36, the A56 needs to face another in-house competitor - the S24 FE could turn out to be the better option for someone that's looking to spend A56 money. Let's do a quick comparison. Table of Contents: Design Display Battery Life Charging Speaker Test Performance Cameras Verdict For starters, you can compare the complete specs...

Android adds support for digital credentials

Google has announced that Android is getting support for digital credential presentation and issuance. This is being done with native support for OpenID4VP and OpenID4VCI standards, which are being integrated within Android's Credential Manager. With the addition of this feature, users will be able to save digital credentials on their device within any app that supports the DigitalCredential API. The apps will also be able to share the information with other apps and the user can use them to upload the credentials or present them wherever necessary. For obvious security and privacy...

Google Search's AI Mode expands its reach across the US, gets new features

Google Search launched AI Mode back in March as an experimental feature that would transform your search experience into more or less a conversation with a chatbot. Now, AI Mode has become available to all Google Labs users in the US, without a waitlist (which was previously a thing). If you want to enable it, you can go to Labs. And, "in the coming weeks", Google says, "a small percentage of people in the US" will see the AI Mode tab in Search without going to Labs to enable it. Rolling out over the next week are visual place and product cards in AI Mode, which will let you tap to get...

Sony Xperia 1 VII runs Geekbench, confirming its chipset, RAM amount, and Android version

Sony's Xperia 1 VII is coming soon - that's pretty much a given considering the fact that its predecessor launched in May 2024, but it's also obvious from the fact that we've seen it in CAD renders and then live certification images already in April. And a prototype Xperia 1 VII also seems to have run Geekbench. Thus, its chipset, RAM amount, and Android version have been revealed in the benchmark's online database. It's not surprising at all to see it being powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite, as Sony always went with the latest top of the line Snapdragon. The SoC is paired with 12GB...

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra outsold the S25 and S25+ combined

According to a new report from Korea-based Hana Securities, Samsung's Galaxy S25 Ultra is by far the most popular member of the family. So much so, in fact, that it's outsold both of its siblings combined. In the first two months of availability, Samsung allegedly sold 9.16 million Galaxy S25 units across all three models. Of those, a whopping 5.08 million units are Galaxy S25 Ultra devices, more than half. The Galaxy S25 follows with 2.41 million units and the S25+ is in third with 1.67 million. Combined, the S25 and S25+ sold 1 million fewer units than the S25 Ultra. So maybe it's...

Google Pixel 10 series may bring a useful display upgrade

Chinese smartphone makers have recently started caring a lot about the eye health of their customers, constantly resorting to third-party "low blue light" certifications as well as very high rates of PWM dimming. Google? Not so much. Not at all, really. But that may all change later this year. According to a new report, the company is finally planning to do something about its low PWM dimming rate "later this year", which obviously implies the Pixel 10 series will be the first in Google's history to have high PWM dimming. Google Pixel 9 Pro In case you're unaware, most OLED screens...

Google CEO hopes Gemini will be built-in on iOS 19

Back in February, some code in the iOS 18.4 beta revealed that Apple was preparing to add Google's Gemini to Apple Intelligence, following its initial partnership with OpenAI for ChatGPT. And now Google CEO Sundar Pichai has said in court proceedings that he is hopeful that Gemini will be added as a built-in AI option in iOS this year. He added that he's been in talks about the feature with Apple CEO Tim Cook throughout 2024. Pichai hopes that a deal on the matter between the two companies will be done by the middle of this year.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge's main and ultrawide cameras revealed

Yesterday the selfie camera of Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S25 Edge got revealed to be using the S5K3LU sensor with 1/3.2" type size. Today the same source is back with confirmations of the main camera as well as the ultrawide, and thus the phone's full camera package has now been outed (since it doesn't have a telephoto). The main camera is unsurprisingly (since it was rumored a lot) the same 200 MP unit used on the Galaxy S25 Ultra, with a 1/1.3" type sensor. The ultrawide is 12 MP and uses a 1/2.55" type sensor, which means it will be identical to the ultrawide found in the Galaxy S25 and...

Motorola Edge 60 in for review

Motorola's Edge 60 series is here, so it's time to unbox the Edge 60. But before we get to the sceneted box, a word on what's different between this green Pantone Shamrock Edge 60 and its blue Pro counterpart. The Edge 60 has the same display and camera system as the Pro, as well as the same IP68/IP69 water and dust resistance and MIL STD-810H compliance. However, the Edge 60 has a smaller 5,200mAh battery with slower charging (68W vs 90W, no wireless), a less-powerful chip (2.5GHz Dimensity 7300 vs 3.35GHz Dimensity 8350 Extreme), and one less button - the AI key on the Pro's upper left...
