Samsung Galaxy A50 in Prism White photographed in the wild

The Samsung Galaxy A50 will come in the same Prism White color as the S10 flagships. Or maybe something very similar - you can clearly see the mother of pearl style iridescence in the photo below, though the light forms S-shaped curves. According to a previous leak, the A50 will be available in White, Black and Blue, which may mean that the premium mid-ranger will also borrow the Prism Black and Prism Blue colors from the flagships. We've seen the Blue color, which seemed different from the S10 blue color. Samsung Galaxy A50 in Prism White The Galaxy A50 will feature a triple...

Testing Oppo's 10x optical zoom camera

Oppo announced that it will launch a phone with its new 10x zoom triple camera module in Q2 this year. For now, they let us play with a prototype unit to test out the camera. Before we go on, we should emphasize that both the hardware and software are not in a finished state. The prototype was put in a case to mask its design as that wasn't the focus of this presentation. The triple camera on the back, that's what matters. Oppo said that this is what the camera module will look like and its placement will be the same. The design of the rest of the phone will be unveiled at a later...

Asus Zenfone 6 to be announced on May 14

No invitations, no official teasers - just an ad on the pages of a magazine. That's how Asus decided to inform us that the Zenfone 6 is coming on May 14. The event will be held in Valencia, Spain. The ad can be found inside the magazine that comes with the press passes for MWC 2019 in Barcelona happening right now although, not everyone received one. Anyway, the teaser is pretty vague, but it's probably safe to say that the handset won't have a notch and particularly slim bezels. Perhaps we are looking at yet another slider phone or a periscope-like selfie camera? Either way, we...

Oppo with 10x zoom camera, 48MP main camera coming in Q2 this year

Oppo will launch a phone with its new 10x zoom camera in the second quarter of this year (so, between April and June). Before we dive into how this much optical zoom is possible, we should explain what "10x" means. The camera assembly has three camera modules, starting with a 16mm ultra-wide camera (120°). The second camera module has a 48MP sensor and we suspect it's around 28mm. Finally, the telephoto lens has 160mm focal length (in 35mm. equivalent), thus it zooms in 10 times. Here's what that looks like: 16mm (120°) ultra-wide angle camera • 10x zoom camera Note that not...

Oppo T1 leak is fake, company's Vice President confirms

Several hours ago, an interesting leak appeared in the wild suggesting that Oppo is working on a new flagship phone that may replace the Oppo R19 this year. However, the Vice President of Oppo, Shen Yiren Brian, was nice to disregard the report on Weibo officially. Yep, the leak sounded too good to be true and it's probably because it isn't. Also, it doesn't make sense for Oppo to release another flagship phone so soon after the R17 Pro. Don't trust everything you see on the Internet, kids. Source 1 | Source 2 (both in Chinese)

Priced at $279, this is NVIDIA's latest mid-range offering that will replace the aging 1060 6GB while offering 1070 performance.

This means no ray tracing or DLSS, although some features like variable rate shading will be present. The GTX 1660 Ti is based on a...
