Realme 64MP quad camera setup hands-on

Earlier this week Realme showcased its 64MP quad camera technology at a Camera Innovation Event in New Delhi, India. This multi-camera system uses a 64MP Samsung ISOCELL Bright GW1 unit as the primary sensor which is joined by an ultrawide angle, super macro, and portrait modules. We were present at the event and got our hands on a prototype. The units were all covered with special cases to conceal their design so all we got were some limited info on the camera setup. We couldn't transfer the samples either, only checking them out on the screen on the phone, so we weren't able to perform...

Weekly poll results: the Black Shark 2 Pro is not a top scorer for Xiaomi

Xiaomi's latest gaming phone, the Black Shark 2 Pro, didn't score enough points for a win. The results from last week's poll show that people are not impressed by the upgrades over the regular Black Shark 2. They sounded pretty good on paper - this is one of the more affordable gaming phones and yet it's among the first handsets to sport the faster UFS 3.0 storage, in addition to the Snapdragon 855+ chipset (which boosts GPU performance). While not related to gaming, the Pro camera also got upgraded too - it gained 60fps mode when recording in 2160p resolution, also 1,920fps slow motion...

Smartphone gaming's golden age is upon us and it has brought a number of handsets that claim to be specifically crafted for and targeted at gamers.

You might just find some of our observations surprising. And just in case the video doesn't quite scratch your itch, there is a more in-depth analysis on the matter in our written analysis. Definitely share your thoughts in...

The Honor Vision smart TV is now official and the first device to run Harmony OS

Honor's new TV is packed to the brim with impressive hardware and does, indeed, feel more like a smartphone in many ways. It's a shift in mentality that really seems beneficial for the smart TV space. At least on paper, that is. Starting off with the basics, the Honor Vision, both vanilla and Pro, features a 55-inch diagonal, 4K, IPS panel with 400 nits peak brightness, 178° viewing angles, 87% NTSC coverage and TUV Rheinland certification for blue light protection. It is housed within a very thin (as little as 6.9mm) metal frame, making for an impressive 94% screen to body...

A Samsung Galaxy M90 could be in the works

Premium-budget? That would probably be the best possible way to describe the alleged Galaxy M90. There is hardly any info on the handset yet and this is the first time we are even hearing of an "M" device so high in the double digits. Plus, the scoop comes from one of the lesser-known Twitter leaksters, so, a grain of salt before we continue. One more thing: Galaxy M90 is expected to be exactly like the upcoming Galaxy A90! That's kind of good, it would mean Samsung is interested to launch a good spec mid range phone at decent pricing.— Ishan Agarwal (@ishanagarwal24) August 10, 2019...

Apple could use "Pro" moniker for the iPhone 11

Straight off the bat, you should definitely take this info with a grain of salt for more than a few reasons. The most obvious being Apple's legendary secrecy when it comes to its future releases. And then there is the fact that the original source - leakster CoinX on Twitter has a fairly short track record. Relatively speaking, of course. Then again, the same source did successfully pinpoint the iPhone XS/XR naming last year and also revealed the existence of a 10.5-inch iPad Air. That being the case, if you choose to believe in that particular crystal ball, here is the vague...

Huawei Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro to be unveiled on September 19 with Kirin 990 chipset

Now that Samsung's latest Note10 pair is official, it's Huawei's turn to refresh its top-of-the-line Mate family. We already know a fair bit about the Mate 30, as well as its Pro and Lite siblings. Nothing official regarding launch dates and availability yet, though. Well, until now that is. As per High-tech Mail.ru, the Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro will be made official in Europe on September 19. Huawei Mate 30 Pro Apparently, the info comes straight from Dr. Wang Chenglu - president of Huawei Consumer Business Software. If that is the case, the credibility is definitely there. As...

LG patents a three-piece, two-display foldable screen phone design with no ports

Foldable display smartphones might have been rushed yet again judging by the rocky lifecycle of both the Samsung Galaxy Fold and Huawei Mate X, neither of which is still available for purchase. Even so, the tech is definitely there and it's mostly a matter of time and refinement at this point. And actually few players have been working on foldable displays longer than LG. This might sound a bit surprising, given that the Korean giant still doesn't have any concrete foldable smartphone offer, but it is a fact that as early as 2014 and even 2013 LG was spearheading the foldable revolution....

Samsung Galaxy A90 5G gets Bluetooth certification

The latest and probably most high-end, if numbers are anything to go by, addition to the Galaxy A line should be arriving shortly. After a quick stop overt at Geekbench last month, the Galaxy A90 was then certified by the Wi-Fi alliance. Now the phone was spotted getting greenlit from the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) as well, hinting at an imminent launch. Galaxy A90 Bluetooth certification Probably the more interesting bit, though, is the fact that two distinct variants of the Galaxy A90 are listed on the Bluetooth SIG site - SM-A908N and SM-A908B. Coincidentally,...
